Female student: I'm sorry, the prince is mine.

There is no curfew in South Vietnam, and the streets are still busy with traffic at this moment. The prince walked to an inconspicuous carriage on the street, said "go home" to the driver, and got on the carriage.

The prince opened the curtain and saw the "little six" sitting inside, drinking tea and snacks with his legs crossed.

"Xiao Liuzi" saw his father-in-law entering the carriage and was about to go up to greet him when he heard the old man say dullly: "Stop pretending, I haven't completed the task."

"Xiao Liuzi" curled his lips and had expected it: "I... No, I don't insist on you going. It's mainly this kind of thing. If I go and say it myself, my uncle will not give me a good look."

The dignified king of a country attaches great importance to face.

When Uncle Master faces an old man like Wang Eunuch, he will still exercise restraint anyway.

The prince didn't know that the Holy One was using him as a spearman, so he sat down and said, "I understand the Holy One's worries. No matter what I say, I can't let you suffer this anger yourself, right?"

He went there with the determination to be beaten to death.

"That's all. Uncle Master has always had this temper. It's expected that you won't be able to do it."

The prince bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion."

"Father-in-law, thank you for your hard work. Drink some tea quickly. Let's go back to the palace quickly. Father-in-law still has to organize a big ceremony."

"Old slave, I obey." After the prince saluted, he sat down at the foot of the Holy Emperor. By the way, I told the Holy Master what Xuan Qing also told me about fine work.

The Holy Emperor raised his eyebrows, is there such a thing?

Fine.

The reasons have been found, so let’s do it.

Anyway, the princess of Gu'an is thick-skinned, so if the uncle doesn't want to go, forget it.

It's very interesting to think about the arrogant princess looking defeated.

"Feed them something good before leaving."

If he gets fatter, he will cause trouble for the old regent. Who asked him to send the princess who went to the house to reveal her tiles?

There is also the fact that Xizuo is obviously a friendly neighbor, and he often sends people to see if Nanyue is doing better than them. I don’t know who has learned the spirit of comparison in his backyard.

But, who in Langzhou is worthy of being accompanied by his uncle in person?

Didn't you even have the family dinner on the first day of the new year in the palace? What kind of person does that have to be?

Could it be...

Ah, I'm a little reluctant. I'll have to find out with my own eyes another day.

There were no words all the way. The Holy Master was thinking about how to find an excuse to reveal the secret of his uncle. The prince was thinking about the top pick or second pick in high school in Jingzhong or Langzhou in the past few years.

It can't get any worse. If it goes any lower, the prince may not even be able to squint his eyes.

By the way, it has to be someone with outstanding looks, the prince frowned, this is really hard to find. Most of the champions who are already serving in Beijing have families or are married, so who else can they be...

"What's the matter?" The Holy Master couldn't help but ask when he saw the prince looking at him with pity.

"No...it's okay." How dare he say that. Even if he had the guts to mention that secret, he wouldn't even dare to mention it in front of his face.

He is just a eunuch, and he is also the eunuch of the Holy Emperor. Let it rot in your stomach.

"Oh." The Holy Master rolled his eyes and closed his eyes to rest. Don't think you don't know what he is thinking. Isn't it just that your uncle is curious because of his secular thoughts?

I'm curious too.

I'm still a little angry. I don't know anything about Uncle Master? !

Terrible.

The two of them were thinking separately, and the carriage arrived at the palace gate.

As soon as the driver handed over the sign, the guard guarding the door opened the door.

Returning to the small courtyard next to the Holy Emperor's palace, Wang Gonggong saw Xiao Liuzi waiting for him anxiously at the door.

"Six, why haven't you rested yet?"

"Liu'er doesn't trust the Holy Master and Master. He can't sleep well, so he just waited."

"What a filial child. Come in quickly." Wang Gonggong patted his shoulder and took him inside.

The prince liked this little disciple very much. He was smart and willing to work, and he was especially filial to him. This was a great comfort to him who could not have any children in his life.

"Master, hurry up and soak your feet." Xiao Liuzi knew that the master had walked a lot this day, and his old arms and legs couldn't bear it, so he quickly poured hot water and put it on the edge of the cave, helped him sit down, and put his feet Put it in water.

"Master, is the water temperature suitable?"

"Not bad, not bad. I don't want me to have such a filial child like you when I am old."

"What did Master say? Master will live a long life with His Majesty. When Liu'er gets old, Master will still be very active!" Xiao Liuzi's words coaxed the wrinkles on Wang Gonggong's face to relax a lot.

"Master, soak slowly. Liu'er will come back as soon as he goes." Xiao Liuzi said and started to walk out.

"Hey, why are you going? It's so late?" Seeing Xiao Liuzi going out again, Wang Gonggong stopped him.

"The Empress Dowager has just brought a message from the palace, and I must wait until the Holy One returns to report it."

"Go, let the queen mother rest quickly, don't exhaust your body."

"Okay, master." Xiao Liuzi said and walked towards Yongning Hall.

~~

When they arrived at the Yongning Hall of the Queen Mother, Xiao Liuzi lowered his head and went in after receiving the report.

At this time, Queen Mother Jiang was sitting on the couch with her eyes closed and meditating. She was old and occasionally couldn't sleep, so she would sit cross-legged like this to meditate and calm down her heart.

Especially when I learned that the Holy Emperor was taken out to play with flowers by the old eunuch again, I couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Hearing the movement, the Queen Mother's phoenix eyes half-opened: "Return?"

"If you return to the Queen Mother, Your Majesty has returned."

"Mother, do you miss me?"

As soon as Xiao Liuzi finished speaking, he heard the Holy Master's voice coming from behind.

Seeing the Queen Mother wave her hand, Xiao Liuzi retreated back to the courtyard.

-

Xiao Liuzi walked out of the palace door with his front foot, and stepped to the edge of the cave with his back foot, and sat down next to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother winked at her personal maid, and she withdrew.

Now that there was no one around, the Queen Mother opened her eyes wide and slapped the Holy Emperor on the shoulder: "Hey! What are you doing again!" If it weren't for the good management of the government, just because of her temperament, the Queen Mother would have to lower her curtains. Only by listening to politics can you rest assured.

"Mother, don't worry. Isn't Princess Gu'an here? I'm going to ask the teacher."

"How is your uncle?" the queen mother immediately asked with a smile on her face.

When the princess came, she had nothing to ask for. She just found an excuse to leave the palace and jump around in front of the elders.

"Excellent." Didn't you want to hit someone just now?

"Well, that's good. The first family banquet has to be organized carefully."

"Uncle Master probably won't have time to attend this family banquet." Si Gan shook out the news one by one.

"What?" The old Queen Mother woke up completely, her eyes widened: "How could he not come to the family dinner?"

Her cousin is now also the Queen Mother of Hengyue Kingdom, and her little daughter, who was born at a very advanced age, has come all the way here and will be arriving in the next two days.

Although my cousin didn't say it, she wanted to know why she wanted a little girl to come alone this time. Why not choose your son-in-law yourself?

Mr. Xuan actually stopped coming without saying a word? He is the one in the royal family who should be most concerned about arranging marriage arrangements!

Although she had known for a long time that he looked like someone other than the world, she was the Queen Mother and the parent of this group of children, so she would always be anxious.

"What's wrong with Queen Mother? Uncle Master doesn't attend every year."

The Queen Mother glared at the person opposite: "Yes, but this time your cousin comes over, is it possible that you are married?"

"That can't be done."

The Queen Mother rolled her eyes and said nothing.

When I was young, I didn't pay much attention to these things. Now that I'm better, I might as well let her, an old man, take care of all the marriages in this family.

What a shirk of responsibility!

Fortunately, it was a prosperous age, otherwise I would have to marry first if I had no choice. The king of a country has to shoulder everything.

Besides, she is a queen mother first and a mother second. Hengyue is also a big country. It's just on the edge. You can't see it when you look down. There are many benefits to marriage.

"That's all. Your cousin has to stay here for a while, so I might as well help her look for her."

Thanks to her deep friendship with her cousin, her cousin didn't have to find a son-in-law in South Vietnam. The niece only came to South Vietnam in the name of friendly diplomatic relations, otherwise this would simply be a diplomatic crisis.

But does Mr. Xuan have anyone important in Langzhou?

Are you enlightened?

It would be a miracle if it really dawned on me.

When the time comes, as a parent, she will be the first to arrange marriage arrangements for them.

The old queen mother muttered in her heart, looked at the child opposite who was yawning again and again, and said: "Okay, go and have a rest quickly, the queen mother is old, and you will have to make arrangements to entertain your cousin."

Seeing that the Queen Mother relaxed, the Holy Master bowed and left.

***

In Prince Xiang's palace, Wu Shen was humming a song to help his master pack up his military books.

Xuan Qing also looked at his expression of spring breeze and raised his eyebrows: "You said it?"

"Say it!" No one came, and he didn't know who he was expressing his joy to.

Xuan Qing also curled his lips and thought it would be better to give the Holy Emperor and the old queen some air first, so as not to send him a large box of portraits of women from aristocratic families right after the family banquet.

Especially the old queen.
