Xuan Bao laughed heartily, and Dongfang Shun followed suit. Everyone in this palace follows rules, even when laughing.
I don’t know whether it’s because the fish are funny or because laughter is contagious, but everyone is laughing happily.
"Who is making such noise here?" Suddenly a voice shouted.
A group of people walked toward the other section of Jiuqu Bridge, and Dongfang Shun couldn't help but show an unhappy look.
"Who is it? What a big rack." Xuan Bao stood on tiptoes and looked at it.
"Oh, Miss Qi, don't talk nonsense, or you may cause trouble." Dong Xue lowered her voice and whispered in Xuan Bao's ear.
Dongfang Shun looked down coldly: "It's nothing, it's my eldest brother who is here."
The eldest brother? Dongfang Yao is here. Xuan Bao's eyes are wandering. She has never seen this eldest prince, but she learned from Xiao Mingzhu that he will become the prince in the future, and she will marry him and become the prince.
concubine.
Marriage and other mysterious treasures are very far away, but Xiao Mingzhu said that she and Dongfang Yao used her brother Shun, the Ding'an Marquis Mansion and the Yongchang Prince's Mansion to help the eldest prince ascend to the throne, but none of them ended up well.
That's what the little doll pays most attention to.
It's a good time. I originally wanted to find a chance to meet the eldest prince, but I didn't expect him to come to my door.
Dongfang Yao was several years older than Dongfang Shun. At ten years old, he should not be considered a baby, but a young boy.
As we all know, the eldest prince and the second prince have never dealt with each other, which is normal. One of them is the daughter of the queen and the other is the son of a noble concubine; one is the legitimate son and the other is the eldest son. They are naturally hostile existences.
"Why don't you bow quickly when you see His Highness?" The little eunuch beside Dongfang Yao knew from the clothes of Xuan Bao and his three masters and servants that they were not from the palace.
Dongfang Shun was blocked by the eunuch. Hearing this, he stepped out and kicked the yelling little eunuch: "Bastard, who do you think you are?"
"Bold!" the eunuch who was kicked shouted loudly, but when he turned around and saw Dongfang Shun, he immediately put on a smile and said, "It turns out to be His Highness the Second Highness."
"Go down, you stupid thing." Dongfang Yao came over and pretended to scold him, "Second brother, don't argue with him."
"It turns out it's the emperor brother." Dongfang Shun smiled but said, "You are so arrogant, I thought it was the emperor father who came?"
"Don't be ridiculous." Dongfang Yao said to Dongfang Shun but glanced at Xuan Bao.
Xuan Bao silently retreated to the side, pretending to be ignorant and completely ignoring Dongfang Yao.
A cold light flashed in Dongfang Shun's eyes. For princes like them, who had not experienced ups and downs since birth, they were naturally better than the others. It seemed that Dongfang Yao came here for Xuan Bao.
When Dongfang Yao saw that Dongfang Shun and Xuan Bao were not cooperating, he pretended to smile and asked, "Who is this?"
Now that everyone has walked up to him, shouldn't they say hello? Xuan Bao lowered her head to hide the calculation in her big, wandering eyes. She walked a few steps over, grabbed Dongfang Shun's sleeves, and hid behind him.
Xuan Bao's behavior surprised Dongfang Shun. In his mind, she had always been generous and generous, and could even be said to be fearless. Why did she hide behind him?
After Dong Xue and Xia Yu were stunned for a moment, they met Xuan Bao's blinking eyes, but they both lowered their heads. Miss Seven had her own idea.
"Too lazy to deal with it." Xuan Bao whispered.
So Dongfang Shun understood that, let alone Xuan Bao, he himself was unwilling to deal with Dongfang Yao. Therefore, this man acted one way on the surface and another behind the scenes. In short, he was a despicable and shameless person.
Or the daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Ding'an? She grew up living in the countryside, and she was so angry that she couldn't show off her temper. Dongfang Yao secretly murmured in his heart, and he didn't know why his mother-in-law wanted to win over her, but on the surface he didn't.
Vibrant voice.
"I heard that Princess Rouping came to the palace today with her daughter. Is this Xiao Xuanbao, the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family?"
"Your Majesty, are you well-informed?" Dongfang Shun said with mockery in his tone, "I was ordered by the Imperial Grandmother to entertain Xuan Bao, and I have already asked for leave. Your Majesty, please go to school, so as not to keep the Grand Tutor waiting."
It was actually on the order of the Empress Dowager that the Imperial Grandmother, who had always attached great importance to the studies of their three brothers, asked Dongfang Shun to take leave to accompany this little girl. This showed her status and importance. Dongfang Yao instantly understood why his mother and concubine had repeatedly warned her.
"First Prince, Master is going to scold you, so hurry up and leave." Xuan Bao leaned out from behind Dongfang Shun and said.
"Xuan Bao is right. Brother Huang, you should go to the study as soon as possible." Dongfang Shun had an intuition that Dongfang Yao must have no good intentions when he stayed, and Xuan Bao obviously didn't want to deal with him.
Dongfang Yao ignored Dongfang Shun. He bowed slightly and looked at Xuan Bao with a somewhat flattering tone: "I can also ask for leave, or let me take you around."
"Brother Shun, just take me." Xuan Bao firmly grasped Dongfang Shun's lapel.
"Brother, please invite me." Dongfang Shun was impatient and started to deal with Dongfang Yao again.
Dongfang Yao straightened his body: "Is it because you are making trouble in front of Xuan Bao and saying something against me? Otherwise, how could she be so resistant to me?"
"Don't you have any idea?" Xuan Bao took over the words first, "Brother Shun didn't talk about you at all. As for me, we don't know each other well. We don't know each other at all. Why should I accept a stranger?"
Dongfang Shun watched Dongfang Yao's face turn red, turn white, and turn blue, and felt happy. He was used to this trick, as if everyone had to surround him, otherwise it would be like he had suffered a huge blow.
As if aggrieved.
Xuan Bao showed an innocent smile: "Brother Shun, I am telling the truth."
"Well, that's right, Xuan Bao won't tell lies." Of course Dongfang Shun supported the little baby.
"Then who would tell lies?" A majestic voice sounded.
Dongfang Yao immediately knelt down, and the people around him knew who was coming when they saw the bright yellow color appearing on the Jiuqu Bridge.
A large group of people fell to their knees, and the only ones standing were Dongfang Shun and Xuan Bao.
This uncle is the emperor. His facial features are similar to that of Brother Shun, and his eyebrows look familiar. Yes, he looks like the great aunt of the Queen Mother. Xuan Bao couldn't help but raise his hand to touch his own eyes. They also looked a bit like him.
"Why are you here, father?" Dongfang Shun strode forward.
The emperor coughed twice, and Laifu stopped Dongfang Shun and whispered, "Your Highness, you haven't seen me yet?"
"Oh, I have met my father." Dongfang Shun bowed and saluted.
Xuan Bao stepped forward on his short legs, raised his head and blinked: "Brother Shun, are you your Majesty?"
"Yes, it's my father, Xuan Bao, please greet me soon."
"I have met the emperor, long live the emperor." A soft and childish voice sounded, and the pink and jade-carved little doll knelt down seriously and respectfully.
