[BOOK 1] Qt : Nice To Meet You

chapter 72

When Emperor Zhengkang and Zhao Yuanbai came, what they saw was such a scene of mother and child in harmony. When Emperor Zhengkang saw Xia Tian, ​​he couldn't help but think of the handwriting on that crystal stone. It seems that they all moved their hearts without a doubt, and Emperor Zhengkang was no exception. He even had a glimmer of hope in his heart, perhaps all these years, the prince Xia Tian has already been raised and abandoned by him, so what can he do with the help of Jiuhua Pavilion? What is the use of a prince who is incapable of writing and martial arts and a group of scholars who are trying to divide the imperial power?

——And it should be my destiny to work hard to improve myself, maybe the emperor star on that crystal stone refers to me!

The more I think about it, the more I feel that I am the real Dragon Emperor. When Emperor Zhengkang looked at Xia Tian again, he felt a little less disgusted, but a little more sincere and pleasant, "What are you talking about, making my noble concubine so happy? Concubine

Duan and the three hurriedly saluted, and Concubine Duan was already aware of Emperor Zhengkang's moodiness recently, and after vaguely finding out about the Sheng family's affairs back then, she completely regarded Emperor Zhengkang as a stranger. This man is a lofty emperor, a monarch with unpredictable sky power, but he is no longer the husband she married, nor is she the father of her child.

Xia Tian had deliberately avoided Emperor Zhengkang when he entered the palace several times, and his impression of this man was still that "he wanted to kill himself and his owner", so suddenly seeing him so close, he felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Sheng Li, on the other hand, has seen such a high-ranking person with such a sweet belly and sword in his previous life. If he has the heart, he can fight with him with ease, but now is not the time, so he also deliberately hides his clumsiness. Emperor Zhengkang saw that the two behaved like spies repaying him." Rotten wood is hard to carve", he became even more happy, not only stayed to chat with Concubine Duan and Zhao Yuanbai about the past, even had a rare lunch with them.

After Emperor Zhengkang left, Zhao Yuanbai let go of his guard, but there were so many eyes and ears in the harem, he didn't dare to say too much for fear of bringing disaster to his younger sister, so he just chatted with Concubine Duan for some family matters, and waited until he left the palace with Xia Tian and Sheng Li , After coming to the secluded place in Prince An's Mansion, it was time to talk about the business.

"How about the people in Jiuhua Pavilion?" Zhao Yuanbai asked after taking a sip of the tea on the table. He is very concerned about this matter, now that most of the courtiers have stood in line, Xia Tian and Sheng Li can only train their own manpower, if the name of Jiuhua Pavilion is too real, then he has to go to the border to search for some talents.

Xia Tian thought for a moment, and said: "Although the disciples of Jiuhua Pavilion have been hiding from the world for many years, they know more about the affairs of the court than I do. The disciples in the family know everything about Wen Tao Wu Lue, and they are really useful." Subconsciously glanced at Sheng Li, seeing the other party nodded slightly, he knew that he was right, so a slight smile appeared on his face, and Tao Hua's eyes were full of happiness after being praised.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuanbai smiled and said: "You two brats, what are you doing flirting in front of me?" He joked a few words, and mentioned the crystal stone presented today and the words of the Fifth Prince.

"According to Tai Physician Xu's pulse diagnosis half a month ago, he already had symptoms of insomnia, depression, and black limbs. When having lunch today, the emperor only moved a few chopsticks. I think he occasionally has shortness of breath. If this If more crystals are added, the princes are probably already preparing to do something..." Sheng Li shook his head as he said.

Zhao Yuanbai nodded and agreed with Sheng Li's words very much, "The faction of the Fifth Prince and the Fourth Prince is ready to make a move. Now that I am returning to Beijing to report on my duties, the army in the Northwest has no leader and it will be difficult to arrive in a short time. If... something happens, it is the time for them to act , we should also be prepared."

"Prepare?" Xia Tian blinked, "Are we going to do it too? But Prince An's Mansion didn't raise any soldiers, and uncle didn't bring many soldiers when he returned to Beijing. How can we do it?" Zhao

Yuanbai With a smile, "Before I returned to Beijing, I had a private discussion with the commander of the imperial guards in the palace. This man is very decent, but he is a bit foolish and loyal. Today, I met him again before going to court. This man is available." Sheng

Li After thinking for a while, he nodded, "If seven of the imperial guards can be used by us, the chances of winning are enough." When the

two of them said this, Xia Tian couldn't understand. Will it be used by them? He wanted to ask a question, but it was inconvenient to interrupt the conversation, so he sat at the stone table with his chin resting on his hands, poking the snacks on the table with a small silver spoon and eating quietly.

Zhao Yuanbai's eyes seemed to pass by inadvertently, he looked at Sheng Li, and suddenly changed the subject, "If something happens, how do you plan for the future?"

Sheng Li also noticed the behavior of the little fox, and he had a serious look on his face After softening, he handed the green tea in front of him to Xia Tian's mouth. The little fox was eating until his mouth became dry, so he opened his mouth obediently and took a sip of the green tea with his hand.

"Since I married into Prince An's mansion that day, I will always be the prince's wife." Sheng Li put down the teacup, and gently wiped away some water stains from the corner of Xia Tian's mouth with his thumb.

After hearing this, Xia Tian hurriedly explained to Zhao Yuanbai: "I only want him alone, and he is also my husband." He thought Zhao Yuanbai was worried about the backyard, after all, in today's dynasty, the rich family still has one wife Multiple concubines, let alone an emperor of the ninety-fifth degree.

As he said that, the little fox looked at Sheng Li again, and seeing a slight smile in his eyes, he couldn't help but his ears turned red, "And we have agreed that we don't want children...the children are not as cute as me."

Zhao Yuanbai couldn't laugh or cry, "Silly nephew... ..." He was worried that Xia Tian was clearly not good at court wrestling, but Sheng Li, the princess, was proficient in this way. Can overthrow my nephew.

But looking at this picture now, the two of them are deeply in love, not to mention anything else, the emotions in the eyes of the two of them looking at each other can't be faked and can't deceive people... Well, for the time being, he believes in the true love between the two for a while Well, if something changes in the future, Zhao Jiajun is not a vegetarian.

Sheng Li was not angry about Zhao Yuanbai's worries, he knew that it was because the other party sincerely regarded Xia Tian as a family member that he was worried about him and planned for him in the future. From Sheng Li's point of view, empty words are nothing but empty words, he doesn't believe in empty promises, and it is serious to live through this life with his little fox in peace.

After Zhao Yuanbai left, Xia Tian approached Sheng Li and asked, "Why did uncle say that the Guards can be used by us? Didn't he only listen to the emperor?"

Sheng Li said, "If we go to rebel, Of course he won't listen to us, but we're here to save him."

At the beginning, Xia Tian couldn't figure out the key points, but at this moment Sheng Li clicked a sentence, he immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Then these few days we have to go to the palace to visit mother and concubine frequently.

" Concubine's body." Sheng Li turned the subject, "By the way, what did you call me just now."

Xia Tian blinked, only pretending to be stupid, "What's your name? Master?"

Sheng Li pinched the back of his neck, Xia Tian Looking around, he saw no one around, suddenly shrank, his clothes fell off, a little fox had already been caught by Sheng Li, he smoothed the white fox's fur, bowed his head and said suggestively: " Don't bark now, keep barking at night."

"Squeak!" The little fox flicked his tail, buried his head deeply in Sheng Li's arms, and prostituted himself day in and day out!

Just as they speculated, the princes in the court are ready to move. They can't wait for their father to return to the west, and then they can justly ascend to that position. Almost no one in the court can stay alone. , What I saw was that the courtiers ganged up and attacked each other because of a trivial matter.

Emperor Zhengkang was furious. How could he not understand the ambitions of his sons? Immediately, he punished several princes and ministers of related factions with merciless means, which made the previous dynasty calm down. Among the ministers punished by him, two were the prime minister's students, but this time their teacher But he didn't say anything to excuse them, because he was already too busy to take care of himself.

Because there was a message in the capital that "the prime minister loves the people like a son", Sheng Qingsong kept a low profile. He also secretly sent someone to investigate who was trying to attack him, but it always ended without a problem. Until this day, the housekeeper of the prime minister's mansion Hastily came to report: "Master, there is an old woman kneeling at the door, saying that she has received your kindness, and she wants to see you in person to express her gratitude."

Madam has not passed a hundred days, and everyone in the house is still dressed in plain clothes. The person who came was dressed in black and felt irritable for no reason, and said casually, "I've been sent away, and some scattered silver will be sent out of the city.

" People are not easy to drive away."

Sheng Qingsong sneered, "We have to see the truth, what kind of woman has such great ability." Walking all the

way to the door, there was an old woman kneeling at the door of the Prime Minister's mansion, crying, "Mrs. Why did such a good person go?" Sheng Qingsong straightened his clothes, put on a look of forbearance in mourning for his dead wife, stepped forward to help the old woman up, and said: "Where is the old woman from, why don't you follow her?" Let's go to the mansion to rest!" Then he turned around and reprimanded a few porters.

The old woman looked up at Sheng Qingsong, and cried: "The prime minister is a very good person, and the prime minister's wife is also a bodhisattva. The old woman was starved and cold to death in the snow many years ago, but the prime minister and his wife did not dislike her. You gave me hot soup and hot food to save the life of the old woman!"

Although Sheng Qingsong was annoyed at the moment that the woman deliberately caused trouble in the capital, but it was inconvenient to reprimand in public, and was about to pretend to comfort the old woman when the old woman The man suddenly lowered his voice and said: "But I heard that Sheng Qingyun's wife died more than ten years ago, and now... who is it?"
