In the study room of the East Palace, Xiao Shen lay lazily on the rocking chair, squinting and shaking: "Second brother, my father sent the boss to join the army this time. If he comes back with meritorious services, he will definitely get a lot more.
benefit."
Xiao Feng sat in a chair and carefully corrected the memorials. In the past two years, the emperor had tried to let him get in touch with the political power and teach him how to handle government affairs. He would often throw some memorials to him that were too late to correct, which was considered as training for him.
He finished writing the last poem, dried the ink, closed the memorial, and looked calm and calm: "No matter how many contributions he makes, he will be the second Nine Emperors Uncle after he dies. I will just use his strengths to consolidate my own."
position, so what if you give him some benefits as a sweetener?"
"That's true, there is a difference between king and minister. No matter how powerful the general is, he still has to obey the emperor's orders." Xiao Shen paused, as if thinking of something, he couldn't help but chuckle again, "I heard that Yan State is famous
This is the hometown of beautiful women. When I go to Yan State this time, I might be able to bring two beautiful sisters-in-law to show us."
"You can write to him and ask him to help bring two more beauties and give them to you later."
Xiao Shen laughed heartily: "You know me, my second brother! I'm going to write a letter right now, but I can't ask the boss for this matter, I have to go to the Nine Emperors Uncle. I trust his aesthetics even more!"
After saying that, he stood up, found pen and ink, wrote a letter, and had someone send it to the Ninth Prince.
Xiao Feng raised his eyelids and glanced at him: "You really dare to fool around. Uncle Nine Emperors is leading his army on the way. He has no time to talk nonsense with you. If my father knows about this, he will have another good meal."
scold."
Xiao Shen immediately leaned forward shamelessly and said with a playful smile: "My good second brother, you definitely can't bear to see me being taught a lesson by my father. You must keep it a secret for me this time. I will repay you well later!"
"Then tell me, what do you want to repay me with?" Xiao Feng smiled leisurely, "Don't tell me that you want to commit yourself to me, I'm not interested in splitting the peach with a broken sleeve."
"Hey, you really said that!" Xiao Shen showed an exaggerated expression, with a narrow smile in his eyes, "If you really have no interest in the cut sleeves, why are you still staring at this little thing? Don't tell me.
You haven't done anything, but you always look at people like you want to swallow them in one gulp, and I'm terrified when I look at them!"
As he said that, he deliberately raised his orchid finger and poked Xiao Feng's chest hard: "You damn ghost, you always put on a saintly attitude and look like a real gentleman. I didn't expect you to fall in love with a little eunuch.
Tsk, tsk, it’s really hidden!”
Xiao Feng glanced at him without changing his expression: "I'd better tell Father about your letter to Uncle Nine Emperors. I believe Father will be very interested in the content of that letter."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shen immediately put away the smile on his face and lowered his head honestly: "Second brother, I was wrong, please give me another chance. I promise, as long as you don't tell my father, I will wait for you."
I’ll help you get some fun over here so you two can be alone together.”
Xiao Feng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then I will give you one last chance."
Xiao Shen raised his head, smiled, and showed his white teeth: "I promise to complete the task and never let down my second brother's expectations of me!"
"I won't go, my slave." Xiao Lezi took the scissors and carefully trimmed the potted plants in the flower hall.
As long as Xiao Lezi is brought to the East Palace to meet Xiao Feng, the task will be completed. Xiao Shen originally thought that this matter was very simple, but he did not expect that as soon as he opened his mouth in front of Xiao Lezi, she was rejected mercilessly.
Xiao Shen didn't understand: "Why don't you go? I think the second brother misses you very much. Wouldn't it be good for you to go and see him?"
Xiao Lezi gave him a strange look: "Who he misses is his business and has nothing to do with the slave. Why should the slave go to see him?"
"But he is the prince and has the right to order you to do anything."
"In this case, let him go say hello to the Minister of Internal Affairs, wait for the slave to register, and decide on the time and place to meet, and then Eunuch Xia will lead him to meet His Highness the Crown Prince. This is in line with the rules," Xiao Lezi smiled with unclear meaning.
He smiled and said, "After all, the servants are from Tianyi Palace, not from the East Palace."
Her indifferent attitude made Xiao Shen unable to make a move, and he felt even more annoyed: "Are you deliberately trying to take advantage of Qiao?!"
"The slave is just a eunuch, how can he dare to mess with the fifth prince?" Xiao Lezi shrugged indifferently, "You and His Highness the Crown Prince are both the proud sons of heaven, and the slave is just an earthworm in the mud. The slave's life may not be worth anything.
, but I don’t want to taint the hands of His Highness the Crown Prince. Please also help tell His Highness the Crown Prince to let him concentrate on being his Crown Prince and stop worrying about this earthworm like me.”
After hearing this, Xiao Shen finally realized it belatedly. After a long time, the second brother and Xiao Lezi were not in love with each other. From the beginning to the end, it was just the second brother who was responsible for shaving his head?!
This is too fantasy and unscientific!
Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, must have good looks, good body, talent, status, and everything he wants. How could she, a mere little eunuch, not want such a top-notch man? What the hell is she?
Are your eyes rotten, or has the world gone crazy?!
Is she playing hard to get?
Xiao Shen stared at her closely, and saw her turn around and start burying her flowers and plants again, with a very natural expression. He said tentatively: "Anyway, my second brother has taken a liking to you, and he is sincere to you.
Seriously, don’t you think about it at all?”
"He is a real dragon and I am an earthworm. We have different races and cannot be considered." Xiao Lezi picked out the little bugs in the rose stamens. "Countless seniors have taught us through bloody lessons that interracial love will not have good results.
.”
It was certain that she really didn't want to accept Xiao Feng. As Xiao Feng's brother, Xiao Shen expressed deep sympathy for his second brother.
It's rare to see my second brother fall in love with him. Not only is he a eunuch, but he is still looked down upon!
Xiao Shen was filled with emotion in his heart, but his face remained unyielding: "Apart from the fact that you don't like him, just treat him as a friend. Can't you go and see him?"
"Personally, I think it's better not to talk about friendship between men and women. That would be too hypocritical," Xiao Lezi curled his lips, "I have always felt that His Highness the Crown Prince fell in love with me, and it was entirely his whim. Wait until the novelty wears off.
, when he finds a new love, he will immediately forget about the slave, so you don’t have to worry that His Highness will be sad because of this, the slave is not as important in his heart as you think."
"You are really open-minded," Xiao Shen smiled. He suddenly felt that talking to her was quite interesting. He did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he used this as a topic and started chatting with her. "Anyway, you will stay here for the rest of your life."
In the palace, it is better to accept my second brother's kindness. Although my second brother is a bit cold-blooded, he still treats his own people very well. If you can really follow him in the future, he will not treat you badly, even if he doesn't treat you well.
Even if God doesn’t like you, he will still give you enough material conditions to ensure that you have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life.”
Xiao Lezi secretly thought that if she was really a eunuch, she might just follow his words and really accept Xiao Feng's feelings. But the problem is that she is not a eunuch and cannot stay in the palace for the rest of her life. She will have to go out in the future.
In the palace life, Xiao Feng's relationship did more harm than good to her.
She shook her head and said: "I am a good person until His Highness the Crown Prince, but I don't want to stay in the palace all my life. When the seventh prince grows up, I will leave the palace with him and live outside. Life in the palace is good, but no matter how hard it is, I will leave the palace with him and live outside."
A beautiful gold birdcage is not as comfortable as freedom."
"It seems that your future life has been planned." Unfortunately, his second brother was not included in this plan. Xiao Shen once again shed tears of sympathy for his second brother.
"Yes, I am working hard towards the predetermined goal, so I cannot accept His Highness the Crown Prince's kindness. I ask the Fifth Prince for your forgiveness."
Having said this, it would be futile to continue talking. Xiao Shen no longer insisted on persuading her to accept his second brother, but he still said shamelessly: "Whether you accept my second brother or not, I invite you to go to the East Palace to see me today.
As soon as I saw him, I thought it was for my sake. I owe him a favor and promised him to take you to the East Palace. If I fail to complete the task, my second brother will kill me ruthlessly. You
Just promise me!"
Xiao Lezi was so tortured by him that he could do nothing, so he only agreed temporarily: "You wait for a while, I will finish the work at hand, and then I will go to the East Palace with you."
"Okay, you take your time and take your time, don't be in a hurry, I'll go and have fun with Lao Qi, and I'll come back to you later."
Xiao Lezi carefully trimmed the flowers and plants, and cabbage appeared out of nowhere. She stared at Xiao Lezi with bright eyes and asked: "What did the fifth prince talk to you just now? Is he interested in our palace again?"
Which palace maid is this?"
Look at Xiao Shen's reputation, it has deteriorated like this, which shows how deeply rooted his bad habit of teasing girls is in people's hearts.
Xiao Lezi pretended to be mysterious: "I won't tell you."
Cabbage immediately pounced on her, grabbing her sleeves and insisting: "Just tell me, people are almost dying of curiosity!"
"You care so much about the fifth prince, don't you have any thoughts about him?" Xiao Lezi smiled narrowly, and immediately made Cabbage jump up and down, and his face turned red.
It was just a casual comment at first, but seeing her react so violently, it actually seemed like it was something real.
Xiao Lezi raised his eyebrows and showed his original expression: "It seems that I guessed it right, Xiao Nizi is very excited."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't show any affection for you!" Cabbage waved her pink fist and hit her, "A playboy like the fifth prince, his feet become weak when he sees a beautiful woman and he can't even walk.
You spend your whole day wandering around with women and dressing up like a butterfly, so I can’t stand you!"
Xiao Lezi's eyes crossed her shoulder and landed on Xiao Shen behind her. He blinked innocently: "How do you know that the fifth prince is a playboy? As the saying goes, you can't tell a person's appearance. Maybe he is just fancy on the outside, but in his heart
Very innocent."
"Bah! If he was innocent, a sow could climb a tree! Let me tell you, I saw him teasing a palace maid last time. Not only did he touch her hand, but he also talked nonsense, like a slut..."
Cabbage wanted to say something else, but when he saw Xiao Lezi's eyes staring behind him, he felt something was right as he spoke. (To be continued)
