Chapter five hundred and eighty-ninth [tongue lotus] (1)
Hu Xiaotian bowed deeply to Long Xuanen and said: "The Prince Consort's Mansion was rebuilt from Shangshu's Mansion. Your Majesty, you should remember that my mother died of illness here. Although the matter has passed, it was still less than three years after all. If I choose this place as my
Wherever you live after marrying the princess, I'm afraid something bad will happen."
"Uh...this..." Long Xuanen didn't think of this. In his opinion, building the Prince Consort's Mansion was a trivial matter. It was natural to choose the Hu family's old residence. However, he didn't expect that Hu Xiaotian would object, and it sounded like a reason.
It is also quite sufficient.
Qi Qi wanted to say something, but she swallowed it when it reached her lips. She simply let Hu Xiaotian finish all the words to see what this guy's plan was.
Long Xuan'en said: "Then I will choose a place for you."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Thank you for your kindness. In fact, it doesn't need to be so troublesome. I have discussed it with Her Highness the Princess, and the new residence will be in Yongyang Palace."
Qiqi felt her head buzzing, Hu Xiaotian, Hu Xiaotian, when did you discuss this with me? No wonder this guy stopped the warriors from taking off the plaque outside the palace today. It turned out that he had this intention, but he had already promised to take down the palace.
Returning the property to its original owner, wouldn’t this mean that you are going back on your word?
Long Xuanen glanced at Qiqi. He also felt that something was not right about this matter. Every card Hu Xiaotian played today was beyond his expectation. What on earth was this kid planning? What on earth was he and Qiqi doing?
Was it agreed upon to do this, or was it all Hu Xiaotian’s own idea?
Qiqi said: "Brother Tian, I didn't agree. I had agreed to return the Yongyang Palace to Brother Three Emperors before. Besides, it was originally his palace, and now that he is back, I should return it."
Long Xuanen took the opportunity to say: "Yes, Qiqi did say it, and I agreed." I mean, don't bother me about this matter, it's all settled.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I only know that all the land in the world is the king's land, and that the shore of the land is the king's ministers. I only know that Yongyang Palace is the palace that your Majesty once gave to the princess, but I don't know that it has always belonged to the third prince."
Qiqi wanted to interrupt, but was glared at by Hu Xiaotian. Qiqi was shocked by his vicious gaze. To be precise, she was confused by him. This kid actually dared to glare at me, and in front of the emperor.
In front of him, Hu Xiaotian stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Although I have just returned to Kangdu, I have already heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess has been removed from the throne. I wonder what she has done wrong. The Emperor wants to treat her like this?"
It turns out that glaring at Qi Qi was the beginning, but now she started to turn the fire on the old emperor and boldly questioned him. Qi Qi secretly scolded Hu Xiaotian for being cunning and actually causing trouble under the guise of standing up for herself. She said softly: "Brother Tian...
…”
Hu Xiaotian glared at her again, just shy of shutting her up on the spot.
Staring at me again? Qiqi almost fainted on the spot because of Hu Xiaotian. Who gave him such courage?
Long Xuanen was scheming, but he was slightly stunned, and then he laughed: "Xiaotian, you must have misunderstood, I did not remove Qiqi from the throne. It was Qiqi who took the initiative to resign, and said that he would resign after marriage.
Put down what you are doing and be your wife with peace of mind."
Qi Qi felt quite cold when he heard what he said. When did I say that? I'm afraid you want me to put down all government affairs.
Hu Xiaotian said: "His Royal Highness is kind-hearted by nature. He is forbearing and humble. When he saw the return of the three emperor brothers, he took the initiative to resign from the emperor. In fact, it was because he had no choice but to have a dispute. The main reason was that His Highness did not want to quarrel with his brothers and avoid being jealous."
Qiqi said angrily: "Hu Xiaotian, you are so bold!" She felt the need to stop this guy from continuing.
Long Xuanen showed unprecedented patience and said softly: "Qiqi, just let him say it."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I think I know Qiqi quite well. Ever since His Majesty returned to Dabao, Qiqi has been working hard for the great prosperity. I can see her hard work. In order to share the emperor's worries, she is a weak woman."
She worked tirelessly to take care of everything, how many times she stayed up late at night to read and deal with government affairs, and how many sleepless nights she spent over the past year." When he said this, his eye circles turned slightly red, as if he was so moved.
Seeing him like this, Qiqi knew clearly that this guy was most likely just showing off, but she felt a little relieved that someone could see her hard work after all.
Long Xuanen sighed and said, "I can also see what you said."
Hu Xiaotian said: "To be honest with you, your majesty, when I sent you to Dongliang County, I resisted from the bottom of my heart. If I can stay in the capital, I can at least help the princess to share her worries. Even if I am incompetent and can't help much, I can still do it."
At least I can listen to her talk about her thoughts, but out of overall considerations, Her Royal Highness the Princess asked me to put aside my children's personal relationship and stick to the northern border for the great Kangdu. I had to leave Kangdu. Since I left, how much pressure has Her Royal Highness the Princess endured?
, how many grievances she has suffered, and who can she tell her concerns to? Every time I think about this, I feel guilty in my heart. For more than a year, the person I am most sorry for is Qi Qi."
When Qi Qi heard this, her eyes were red. Although she knew that Hu Xiaotian was probably lying, she was still moved in her heart. She turned around quietly, fearing that he would see her current appearance.
Long Xuanen pursed his lips and seemed to be moved by Hu Xiaotian's words: "Qiqi, I have made you feel wronged."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I think about coming back all the time, but without His Majesty's order, I dare not make the decision privately, so when I heard the news that Your Majesty was going to marry the princess and me, I was overjoyed and immediately set out on my return journey.
When I came back, some people advised me that the emperor asked me to come back because he believed the slander and wanted to punish me. Some people said that as long as I returned to Kangdu, I would never have the chance to leave. However, I still came back without hesitation. I must not break my promise.
I cannot allow Her Highness the Princess to work so hard and support her with tears in her eyes all day long, looking through the autumn water."
This guy's provocative skills were indeed top-notch. Qi Qi turned away, her shoulders trembling slightly.
Long Xuan'en said: "That's nonsense. Why should I punish you?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Your Majesty is a wise king. Although I have no talent or virtue, I have a clear conscience. I came back here, firstly, to marry Her Highness the Princess, and secondly, to help share your Majesty's worries and solve the problems of the well-off society. But I came back here
Here, I heard that His Majesty removed Her Royal Highness from the throne..."
Long Xuanen interrupted him and said, "Qiqi is the one who resigned!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Based on my understanding of Qiqi, she did not want to make it difficult for Your Majesty to resign. I dared to say that, but His Majesty didn't even say a word to stay. Do you know how lost and sad Qiqi is?"
Qiqi suddenly turned her head over, tears glistening in her beautiful eyes, but her eyes were filled with astonishment. This bastard Hu Xiaotian, your mouth can confuse right and wrong. When will I feel sad? Hu Xiaotian didn't notice her expression at all, and sighed.
He took a breath and said: "Although Your Highness the Princess is just a prostitute, who has been sharing your Majesty's worries during this period of time? Your Majesty should be able to see clearly."
Long Xuanen was actually speechless. After a while, he sighed and said, "I was negligent. I didn't consider your feelings." He cast his eyes on Qiqi.
Qiqi hurriedly shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense. Qiqi doesn't feel aggrieved."
Long Xuan'en said: "Qiqi, you don't need to explain, I understand how you feel."
Hu Xiaotian was secretly proud. This impassioned speech seemed to have had an effect. Aren't you ambitious, Xiaonizi? I might as well give you a push and see who is the head of the family.
Long Xuan'en said: "Hu Xiaotian, I was a little worried about you in the past, worried that you had wronged Qiqi, but after what I said just now, I finally feel relieved."
Hu Xiaotian said: "How could I have wronged Qiqi? Who dares to wrong Qiqi? I will help her seek justice even if I risk my life."
Long Xuanen's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, boy, are you telling me this? A smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Are you threatening me?"
Hu Xiaotian hurriedly bowed and said: "How dare I offend Tianwei? Your Majesty loves Qiqi so much, how can you wrong her? The person who treats Qiqi the best in this world is your Majesty. I try my best but I can only be ranked second."
.”
Long Xuanen sighed secretly, this guy has a lotus tongue, and he can bring the dead to life. He said calmly: "I forgive you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Long Xuan'en said: "Qiqi, do you feel wronged in your heart?"
Qiqi shook her head. Before she could speak, Hu Xiaotian had already said, "Your Majesty asked her how to answer."
Long Xuan'en said: "Then tell me!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Your Majesty, I do have some things in my heart that I don't want to express. When the two of us just came to see your Majesty, the emperor was resting, so we stayed outside for a while and met the three emperor brothers. I came out.
Out of politeness, I greeted him, but he behaved arrogantly and rudely. I don’t know why he is so arrogant? Has he ever contributed to the great prosperity in these years? Has he shared any worries for His Majesty? We are both of the same blood as the royal family. Is it possible that he is so arrogant?
Is there any difference between superiority and inferiority? Is Her Royal Highness the Princess' forbearance considered cowardice in the eyes of others?"
When Qi Qi heard that this guy was confusing black and white, he felt angry and funny at the same time. This guy told lies without blinking an eye. He was clearly the one who provoked Longting Town on his own initiative just now, but now they are all Longting Town's fault.
.
Long Xuan'en said: "Did you and Ting Zhen have any personal grudges in the past?"
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "No."
Long Xuan'en said: "We are born from the same roots, so there is no rush to fight with each other! You go ahead, I will ask this matter clearly. If it is true, I will never let him off lightly."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Actually, His Highness didn't let me say it. I insisted on saying it. I shouldn't have said these words in front of Your Majesty. Based on my status, I shouldn't have criticized the three emperor brothers."
Long Xuanen's face darkened and he said, "Hu Xiaotian, are you blaming me for removing Qiqi from the throne?"
