The chess pieces made of jade fell on the chessboard and made a crisp clicking sound.
The fourth prince Xiao Shen, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You said you were going to pick flowers, but you forgot to pick them. What a slave you do is really funny."
Xiao Shen's mother-concubine was Concubine Duan, and she was a cousin to the queen. When the queen was still alive, the two had a very good relationship. Later, the queen was gone, and the prince was sent to Concubine Duan to be raised for two years. He and Xiao Shen also grew up together.
At first they didn't like each other, but gradually they became close, and their relationship was unexpectedly deep.
Xiao Shen is two years younger than the prince, but he has a dissolute nature. He wanders around all day long and does not do his job. He loves to mess around with women. But he has a good skin and is eloquent. The girls know that he is a playboy.
, they still pounce on him in groups, which is really a great scourge in the world.
The prince's eyes fell on Xiao Lezi, as if waiting for her explanation.
Xiao Lezi coughed twice and said in a low voice: "As soon as I arrived at the Royal Garden, I saw the eldest prince, the third prince, the fifth prince and the prince of Yunnan Palace also came. I was startled and quickly found a place.
Hiding, then, the servant heard them talking about Concubine Li and the Seventh Prince, and said that they would go to Tianyi Palace to visit the Seventh Prince this afternoon..."
Hearing this, Xiao Shen immediately pushed away the chessboard in front of him, approached the prince and said with a smile: "Second brother, are you free this afternoon?"
"You also want to go to Tianyi Palace?"
"It's such a rare opportunity, so it's not a bad idea to join in the fun! I heard that my father rewarded Lao Qi's maids this time, each one more beautiful than the other. I'm so greedy."
"..." Xiao Lezi turned his head silently, feeling very contemptuous of this big pervert in his heart.
The prince thought for a while and said: "The seventh child is ill. We brothers should go and see him."
This matter was decided happily. Xiao Shen was very happy and decided to stay in the East Palace for lunch today.
Xiao Lezi did not find a corner to squat like he had done a few days ago, but took the initiative to stand beside the prince and serve him. The prince had no expression on his face, but was extremely satisfied in his heart.
Little guy, you are enlightened!
After lunch, while Xiao Shen went to take a nap, Xiao Lezi slowly moved to the prince's side and looked at him hesitantly. The prince lay half-lying on the Arhat bed, covered with a thin quilt, holding a book in his hand, and looked at him seriously.
, without noticing her eyes at all.
In desperation, Xiao Lezi had no choice but to go over to him and said with a flattering smile: "Your Highness, I will give you a beating on your legs."
The prince did not take his eyes away from the book: "Yes."
Xiao Lezi immediately squatted down and beat his legs gently with both hands. He looked up from time to time to observe the changes in his expression to make sure that his weight was just right. Then he asked cautiously: "Your Highness, when you go to Tianyi Palace in the afternoon, can you do it?"
Take a slave with you?"
Hearing this, the prince's eyes moved half an inch and fell on her: "Reason."
Countless reasons suddenly popped up in Xiao Lezi's little head, but in the end they were all swatted away by her. After holding it in for a while, she managed to say a sentence with a blushing face: "I just want to accompany you."
vomit!
Sorry, please allow her to find a corner to vomit first. It's so disgusting. She really put her face to the test just to visit Xiao Yu this time!
The prince's expression paused, first a little happy, then a little doubtful, but when he caught a glimpse of the red tips of her ears, his eyes became darker.
He neither refused nor agreed, and his silent attitude made Xiao Lezi unpredictable.
She had no choice but to beat his legs harder, and also gave him a full body massage, which made her sore and back sore that her hands almost broke. He just opened Jin Gui's mouth and said slowly: "When we arrived at Tianyi
Your Majesty, you have to follow me closely and don’t run around."
Xiao Lezi felt happy and immediately agreed: "I promise to follow His Highness closely and never leave for a moment!"
The distance from the East Palace to the Tianyi Hall is not far, but out of courtesy, the prince still detoured to the Yangxin Hall and explained to the emperor in person why he wanted to go to the Tianyi Hall. After getting the emperor's approval, the prince and others arrived
Tianyi Hall.
The Tianyi Hall is relatively small, but it is exquisite and unique, and it is close to the Yangxin Hall. The so-called emperor's approach is enough to show that the emperor cares about him.
The prince and others arrived at the inner hall without any hindrance. Xiao Yu, who had been informed, had already changed his clothes, was supported by others, and respectfully saluted and greeted the prince.
The prince stretched out his hand to help him up, and said in a gentle tone: "We are all brothers, no need to be polite."
Xiao Yu straightened up and accidentally caught a glimpse of Xiao Lezi behind the prince, and his eyes lit up slightly. Xiao Lezi naturally saw him and winked at him quietly, and he couldn't help but smile.
The two of them had a tacit understanding.
Xiao Yu asked someone to pour tea and watch the seats. The three brothers sat down in order.
The prince didn't talk much, most of the talking was done by Xiao Shen. His words were humorous and he could make Xiao Yu laugh out loud with just a few words. The atmosphere was unexpectedly relaxed and harmonious.
While they were chatting, Xiao Lezi secretly took a few more glances at Xiao Yu, and saw that his face was still pale, his leg injury had not yet healed, and he needed someone to help him walk. His originally fair face had lost a lot of weight, showing a sharp look.
Her chin looked increasingly thin and fragile, which made her feel very distressed.
After about a cup of tea, a servant came to report that the eldest prince Xiao Yun had brought Xiao Lei, Xiao Huai and Duan Youhan outside Tianyi Palace and wanted to visit Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu didn't expect so many guests to come all at once today, and seemed a little surprised, but they were guests, so he quickly asked someone to invite Xiao Yun and others in.
When Xiao Yun and others walked in, they looked face to face with the prince and others. They were stunned for a moment, then smiled and saluted politely.
"What a coincidence. I never thought that my second brother would be here."
"It's a coincidence indeed."
"Haha, I don't know how long my second brother has been here. If you don't mind me, I would like to have a few words with you."
"It won't take long, just a cup of tea, you and I are just the same as before and after."
"That's a coincidence. I originally planned to invite my second brother to join us before I came here, but now it seems that it just happened."
No matter how much they hate each other in their hearts, they still maintain the appearance of brothers and sisters. At first glance, it seems that they are really harmonious.
After some polite greetings, both parties took their seats.
Xiao Lezi glanced at it, what a good guy, if you add another person, you can make up two tables of mahjong.
Although there were many people, the topics were surprisingly unified. They basically revolved around Xiao Yu, asking him with concern about his situation in the past few years. At the same time, they expressed their guilt for not paying too much attention to the seventh brother in the past few years, and their attitude was gentle.
, the words are tactful and the atmosphere is hypocritical
Can not bear to look.
Xiao Lezi couldn't stand the hypocrisy and subterfuge of these guys. He rolled his eyes and stared at the rafters in a daze.
Recently, the sales of Danmei picture albums have been getting better and better. Not only herself, but also Xiaoyingzi and Xiaozizi have also made a lot of money. Xiaoyingzi and Xiaozizi plan to expand their business and promote the sales scope to all parts of the palace, trying to cover the entire
A royal palace.
Xiao Lezi also wants to make more money, but it is against the rules to sell albums of eighteen-forbidden paintings privately. If they really make it big, they will have to invest a lot. If the Ministry of Internal Affairs is alerted and they are found out, they will not be able to steal the chicken.
Lost a lot of rice.
Xiao Lezi's purpose of making money is for her future life, and she doesn't expect to make a fortune by selling albums of 18+ forbidden paintings. Greed is the devil, and she doesn't want to take risks. She just needs enough money, and it's better not to expand her business scope.
Well, that’s it. Let’s talk to Xiao Yingzi and Xiao Yezi later...
"Little fun!"
Xiao Lezi's thoughts were abruptly interrupted. She was stunned for a moment and withdrew her distracted eyes. Only then did she realize that everyone's eyes had been focused on her at some point.
What's happening here?
She only felt her scalp tightening. What happened at the scene when she was in a state of confusion?
What should she do now?
Noticing her embarrassment, the prince frowned slightly and asked displeasedly: "Why are you so absent-minded?"
Xiao Lezi bowed his head and had a good attitude in admitting his mistakes.
Xiao Huai looked at her from head to toe, his eyes were contemptuous, and he sneered: "As a slave, I was distracted when my master was asking questions. I didn't know what the servants were doing, so I let such a brainless thing go."
In the East Palace!"
These words were clearly teaching Xiao Lezi a lesson, but secretly he was mocking the prince for not having two decent minions. The double entendre immediately made Xiao Lezi frown and murmur in a low voice: "People who are truly brainless like to say that others are brainless.
Already."
"Who are you saying is brainless?" Xiao Huai glared angrily.
Xiao Lezi curled his lips: "I'll tell whoever agrees."
Xiao Huaiteng stood up, stared at her angrily, and scolded: "Slave dog, you are so brave, you dare to scold your master, believe it or not, I will have your tongue cut out right now?!"
Xiao Lezi glanced at the prince and saw that he was indifferent. She felt relieved and immediately patted her chest and said with a smile: "I'm so scared~"
With a puff, Xiao Shen and Xiao Yu couldn't help but chuckle, and even Xiao Yun couldn't help but look away, as if he was holding back laughter.
Xiao Huai never thought that a little slave could be so arrogant. He was so angry that his nose was crooked, and he yelled for someone to drag Xiao Lezi down and give him dozens of slaps on his ears to vent his anger.
Two guards came in and grabbed Xiao Lezi without saying a word, trying to drag her out.
Xiao Lezi suddenly panicked. She hurriedly looked at the prince and sent out a signal for help.
It wasn't until she was dragged to the entrance of the hall that the prince slowly stopped him: "It depends on the owner to beat a dog. If my fifth brother wants to have some fun, do he have to ask me first?"
Xiao Huai said: "This dog slave is not only sharp-tongued and sharp-mouthed, but also has no laws. Such a unruly slave deserves to be beaten to death!"
The prince's eyes swept over him, and he smiled gracefully and calmly: "He is like this because I love him, what do you want to do?"
Crowd: "..."
Xiao Lezi felt that his eyes must have been dimmed just now, and he actually felt that when the prince said those words, his whole body was emitting Buddha light, and his domineering side was leaking out. Is that possible?
Kneel down to the domineering emperor.
Xiao Huai was stunned on the spot. When he came to his senses, he wanted to refute, but couldn't find anything to refute. He could only grit his teeth and said: "Second brother is so arrogant and indulges the slave, aren't you afraid of provoking others to talk about him?"
"Tell me, who dares to gossip about me?"
Xiao Huai opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. His expression was a little distorted because of excessive anger. He hated Xiao Feng's arrogance, but he just got a good belly. He was born with the title of prince for nothing, how could he get it?
He stepped on it!
He is not convinced!
His expression became darker and darker, and the atmosphere instantly became tense. Xiao Yun stood up in time, patted Xiao Huai's shoulder lightly, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's just a few quarrels, why bother doing so for such a trivial matter?"
Have you hurt the harmony between brothers? Sit down and have a cup of tea to calm down the anger." (To be continued)
