The commander-in-chief is handsome and charming

He walked into the teahouse by himself and went up the stairs.

Then he turned sideways and motioned for the butler to lead the way.

There was no way, he only knew it was upstairs, but he didn't know which private room it was.

The butler smiled at him and gestured for him to come in.

He was led all the way to a private room.

Then he smiled and said, "Your Highness, the person has been brought here."

"Come in!" A gentle male voice soon came from inside the door.

Cheng Ruyi was surprised for a moment.

What kind of prince is this? Why does his voice sound like he has kidney deficiency?

Not as confident as my eldest brother.

He complained inwardly.

The butler beside him had already opened the door of the private room and nodded to him with a smile, "Please come in, sir."

Cheng Ruyi walked in with swagger.

Then he happened to make eye contact with the person in the private room.

How to describe it?

Cheng Ruyi wondered what kind of eldest prince this was.

Actually, there is nothing special about him. He doesn't look like a royal family member.

Instead, they look a bit like those students raised by old men.

This temperament,

Cheng Ruyi fixed her suspicious eyes on him.

I don’t know how to describe it.

This guy... doesn't look like someone who can seize the throne.

He looked at Xu Shaoxun, and Xu Shaoxun was also looking at him.

Then he suddenly laughed and said, "Master Cheng, does my appearance not meet your expectations?"

"It's quite different." Cheng Ruyi answered directly.

After saying this, he belatedly bowed to Xu Shaoxun and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."

"Forget it!" Xu Shaoxun waved his hand casually.

The voice was still gentle and smiling, "Since you don't want to perform the formalities, then forget about it in the future."

After saying that, he pointed to a chair on the side and said to Cheng Ruyi who was stunned, "Sit down."

Cheng Ruyi was indeed confused at this moment.

Are all the princes of Southern Qi so easy to talk to?

My identity is just a merchant, right?

He looked at Xu Shaoxun carefully, then sat on the chair vigilantly.

But Xu Shaoxun no longer went to see him.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Then he closed his eyes slightly and said, "This is the special tea of ​​Southern Qi. We only pay tribute to it a little every year. Mr. Cheng, please have a taste."

After he finished saying this, Cheng Ruyi's gaze fell on the teacup in front of him.

I didn't find anything wrong with what Xu Shaoxun said.

He opened the tea and took a look.

Then he looked at Xu Shaoxun.

The latter smiled and shook his head, "It's not poisonous. If you don't believe me, I'll exchange it with you."

"No need!" Cheng Ruyi coughed awkwardly.

I took a sip of tea and felt...

That's about it.

It’s too hot and doesn’t quench my thirst.

He put down the tea nonchalantly, and the smile in Xu Shaoxun's eyes became even more intense.

He sat there and drank half a cup of tea, without any intention of speaking.

Cheng Ruyi sat with him for a while.

I forced myself to finish the tea.

Finally, I couldn't help but ask, "I wonder why Your Highness wants me here?"

"Nothing!" Xu Shaoxun looked up with a smile.

He still looked gentle, and the smile in his eyes was genuine.

Seeing the confusion in Cheng Ruyi's eyes.

He actually laughed softly. "It's just that I heard that Cui Xiang has a sworn brother, and I'm a little curious."

After he finished speaking, he saw Cheng Ruyi staring at him.

After thinking for a while, he asked again, "Mr. Cheng doesn't look like he's even twenty years old, right?"

"Eighteen!" Cheng Ruyi answered straightforwardly.

Xu Shaoxun nodded gently, "Eighteen years old, born in the year of the horse!"

Cheng Ruyi: ...

After saying this, Xu Shaoxun began to sip his tea quietly again.

Cheng Ruyi looked at his actions and couldn't understand them.

There were only a few things on the table, and he fiddled with them back and forth just to have a sip of tea.

Are you feeling tired?

After watching it for a while, I suddenly found it boring.

He clapped the folding fan in his hand.

A series of soft crisp sounds were emitted.

Then it opened again and flashed in an annoyed manner.

At this time Xu Shaoxun finally looked at him.

"If you have something to do, Master Cheng, go ahead and do it."

"I have nothing to do here."

He spoke so calmly that Cheng Ruyi wanted to pry open his brain to see.

Is this person sick?

Ask someone to invite you from the street.

Once you arrive, treat yourself to a cup of tea.

Then I watched him fiddling with the tea set.

Thinking of this, he stood up angrily.

He clasped his fists towards Xu Shaoxun.

Without saying a word, he turned around and left.

After leaving the house, the butler bowed with a smile.

Cheng Ruyi glared at him and went downstairs directly.

Delay your own business.

I thought that the prince was attracted by my talent in business and wanted to win me over?

result,

That's it? ?

He left angrily.

The butler looked at his back and carefully pushed the door open.

"Your Highness!"

"Come in!" Xu Shaoxun didn't stop making tea.

The butler came in and stood carefully to one side.

He made the tea and served himself a few cups.

Then he slowly said, "What do you think of this Mr. Cheng?"

"No guile at all!" The butler's comment didn't give any face at all.

Xu Shaoxun smiled gently and tapped the teacup lightly with his hand.

Then he picked it up and took a sip.

"Ask someone to protect him, don't let the second and third brothers bully him."

After saying this, the housekeeper's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

Still bowed and replied "Yes."

Obviously he didn't understand what his Highness meant.

However, Xu Shaoxun certainly couldn't explain it to his subordinates.

"He was the one who robbed the shop last time?"

"Your Highness, that's right."

"Oh!" Xu Shaoxun took another sip of the tea at hand.

He held the teacup between his fingers and examined it carefully.

After a long while, he sighed.

"How is the third brother doing in the imperial study?"

"Oh, Your Highness!" The shopkeeper couldn't help but sneered.

"With the Third Prince's temperament, being able to sit on the chair is considered progress."

"I heard that a few days ago, Empress Si ordered someone to keep him in the study and not let him out until he could recite an article."

This Xu Shaoan has been a bastard since he was a child.

Apart from playing around with the children of officials, he would run around the streets with people.

I haven't done anything serious since I became an adult.

His sneer made Xu Shaoxun frown slightly.

His gentle temperament changed, and his eyes became sharper.

The shopkeeper bowed hurriedly and said, "I know I was wrong!"

"What is the second one doing?"

"Your Highness, the Second Prince has been staying at his own residence these past few days, and only goes to the palace to pay his respects to Empress Min every few days."

"I made some tentative contact with Master Cui a few days ago."

“I just didn’t get the chance!”

After he finished his fragmentary report, Xu Shaoxun nodded slightly.

He sighed and pushed away all the teacups in front of him.

"This imperial capital is becoming more and more lively!"

After sighing like this, he slowly stood up.

"Let's go home!" After saying that, he walked out of the private room.

As a result, he walked up the stairs, thought about it and changed his mind, "Forget it, let's go to the palace to pay our respects!"

He hasn't been to the palace for some time.

Now that his two younger brothers have started to make progress, he can't just sit there and do nothing.

I always have to show my filial piety to my father.

Play the role of a loving father and a filial son.
