After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

Xiao Jiashan shot another arrow: "I have been practicing every day during this period, but unfortunately, I am never in the eyes of the emperor. No matter how much progress I make, the emperor can't see it."

Xiao Jiashan and Xiao Qiru both knew that the emperor had only seen Xiao Chengji over the years.

This fact made all the brothers feel like a thorn in their hearts, and they looked at Xiao Chengji with jealousy in their eyes.

Xiao Jiashan's jealousy of Xiao Chengji was particularly obvious. Not only was he jealous, he was also afraid of him.

Because sooner or later there will come a day when only one of him and Xiao Chengji will survive.

Xiao Jiashan looked at the target in the distance and smiled coldly: "Some people are born with everything, but I can only watch from afar. It's so unfair!"

Xiao Qirui followed suit: "Yes."

It's so unfair.

Just as Xiao Jiashan was looking at Xiao Chengji, Xiao Qiru was also looking at Xiao Jiashan.

When Xiao Jiashan said this in front of him, Xiao Qirui actually found it quite ridiculous.

The third brother, Xiao Chengji, is favored by the emperor and has great grace from the emperor. He stands in the supreme position and can call the wind and rain at will.

The fifth son, Xiao Jiashan, has the support of powerful relatives by marriage, and the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother give him advice and help behind the scenes. Even if he is a waste, there are powerful forces that drag him up the ladder step by step.

The Seventh Prince didn't know what he had, oh, maybe it was a lowly character and a flattering face, what he wanted was always something that others were tired of seeing.

The seventh prince actually understood the emperor’s preference for the third prince.

The woman a man loved most died, and was taken away and killed when he loved her the most, leaving behind a young child. Even the most rational man would praise this child to the sky.

But sometimes, the Seventh Prince actually hopes that Concubine Bo is still alive. He wants to see if Xiao Chengji will be treated the same as now after Concubine Bo grows old and loses her beauty.

Just like he hoped that if Xiao Jiashan's mother was not the queen, but a concubine with no family background and no favor, would Xiao Jiashan still be here speaking nonsense and being pretentious?

But there are not so many ifs in this world.

If there is an if, he would not even think about how wonderful life would be if he were the emperor.

"The new maidservant who came to your father's side looks pretty good. Do you think your father will sleep with her tonight?"

"Fifth brother, let's not get into this kind of trouble. If you want beautiful women, I'll give you two later."

"..."

The seventh prince followed the fifth prince on horseback, and the two of them strolled away.

Behind Xiao Chengji followed the governor of Yinan who came to Beijing to report on his work.

The emperor has been in poor health these days, and many state affairs are handled by the cabinet ministers.

Bo Feng is Xiao Chengji's uncle, but of course not his biological uncle.

Concubine Bo's family has few descendants, with only her as a daughter. Bo Feng is her cousin, and the two siblings have a good relationship.

Bo Feng watched the backs of the Seventh and Fifth Princes leaving from afar, and could not help but smile bitterly: "If the Queen was just an ordinary concubine who was favored by ordinary people, and you were just an ordinary prince, the Queen would not have such a tragic fate, and you would not have had such a hard time surviving these years."

Xiao Chengji glanced at Bo Feng coldly and said, "Don't say these hypocritical words in front of me."

What is is what is, Xiao Chengji never thinks about what ifs.

Bo Feng felt miserable: "Your Highness, have you been okay these past two years?"

The last time Bo Feng saw Xiao Chengji was two years ago.

On the surface, Xiao Chengji is the emperor's most favored third prince, but in reality, only he and the people around him know how difficult Xiao Chengji's life is in the harem and the court.

Xiao Chengji said coldly: "Everything is fine."

Bo Feng talked to him for a long time: "The Bo family has been a little worried about Your Highness in the past two years. They have been working hard on Your Highness's marriage and offspring, hoping that Your Highness will get married soon. Now that Your Highness has finally married a wife, I am much more relieved..."

Xiao Chengji didn't feel anything about these trivial matters, but Bo Feng was indecisive and loved to nag, so he could only listen impatiently.

Bo Feng said: "I have not seen the princess yet. Xu is in the capital. She will go to see the princess in the next few days."

Xiao Chengji said "hmm".

Bo Feng continued, "Your Highness, do you know what the Emperor means by coming to Beijing this time?"

Xiao Chengji finally looked at Bo Feng.

Although Bo Feng is Xiao Chengji's uncle, there are differences between superiors and subordinates, and between the ruler and his subjects. He never dares to act like an uncle in front of Xiao Chengji.

Another thing is that Xiao Chengji’s aura is so similar to that of the current emperor that even the high-ranking and powerful ministers in the court dare not ignore Xiao Chengji.

"It's not the emperor's idea, it's my idea." Xiao Chengji said calmly, "Has my uncle heard about the warehouse?"

Bo Feng nodded.

There were heavy rains for several days in the summer, and several counties in Zhencang suffered from floods. Afterwards, the disaster relief was not handled properly, and the officials below were seriously corrupt, which forced the people to rebel. The rebellion was only suppressed recently, and many officials were killed. Finally, there are signs of calming down.

Xiao Chengji said: "This prince wants to transfer you to Zhenyu Province as the governor."

Bo Feng's face froze, and he had already thought of the scene that would follow: "The governor of Zhen and Yu provinces is now Zheng Shu, the son of the Duke of Ying, the elder brother of Queen Zheng. Such an important task should be discussed with the emperor and the cabinet before a result can be reached."

No prince or minister has such authority, let alone the ability to say such things with certainty.

Xiao Chengji curled his lips coldly: "You should prepare yourself first, and I will make arrangements."

Bo Feng knelt down and kowtowed: "Yes."

After Bo Feng left, Xiao Chengji also went to his residence.

He suddenly remembered something: "How is the princess doing?"

Huo Ha said quickly: "Everything is fine at the mansion, and the princess is fine too."

Xiao Chengji recalled that people had been sending puffer fish to the palace from all over the country every day during this period of time: "Has she gained weight recently?"

Huo Ha didn't know what to say for a moment. To be honest, how many servants dared to stare at their master? Perhaps only the palace maids who served the princess personally knew the truth about this matter.

However, Huo Ha, who had been with Xiao Chengji for so many years, soon found the key to the problem: "The princess said she doesn't like to eat fish, so the supply of pufferfish was exempted. These days, the princess is more indoors, and must have eaten more than before."

Xiao Chengji frowned slightly.

Huo Ha quickly changed the subject: "I heard that the Queen Mother has been summoning the princess to the palace these days. The princess is lucky to be able to work under the Queen Mother without any problems."

Xiao Chengji hasn't been home for a long time, so people in the palace don't often ask about these things. However, the empress dowager had offended a group of military officers some time ago, so she wouldn't be stupid enough to do anything at this time.
