Reborn as a King in the Hand

Next to Xia Chaosheng's couch, there was another brazier that was burning hot.

The house is warm as spring.

Both Xia Hua and Qiu Chan took off their outer shirts, one decocted the medicine, the other changed the charcoal for the hand stove, only Xia Chaosheng, wrapped in fox fur, coughed from time to time, his pale fingertips wandering over the open scroll.

He stared at the window absently, realizing later that at this time, his father should have already entered the palace, even if Hei Qi had wings, he would not be able to catch up.

But Xia Chaosheng still stubbornly gave birth to a small glimmer of hope.

Now that he has another chance, he must be able to change something.

"Young Master." There was a knock on the door from outside the bedroom, "Someone is here in the palace."

Qiu Chan opened the door and blocked the crack with her body to prevent the cold wind from finding Xia Chaosheng: "Master Hou is not here, why did you bring him here?"

"...I'm here to find Master Xiaohou!" The boy who knocked on the door lowered his voice and signaled Qiuchan to look into the yard with his eyes.

Standing with their backs to them, Hongwu is admiring a wintersweet blooming in the cold wind.

"Let him in." When Qiu Chan was hesitating, Xia Chaosheng put down the scroll in his hand and asked Xia Hua to pour tea, "The people around the prince should not neglect."

Xia Hua withdrew as she said, and Qiu Chan let her in.

Hong Wu has the chill of early winter on his body.

He is different from Hei Qi, after taking off his mysterious armor, he is dressed in a green shirt, dressed as a scholar, and after entering the room, he kneels behind the screen and salutes Xia Chaosheng.

Xia Chaosheng hugged the hot hand stove, thinking to himself, he really remembered correctly, besides Hei Qi, the most powerful person beside Mu Rugui is Hong Wu.

"...Young Master, please rest assured."

When he came back to his senses, Hong Wu's words were coming to an end.Although he didn't hear everything, he made a rough guess - Hei Qi tried to stop his father as much as possible, and Hong Wu was the one who came back to report.

Xia Chaosheng shook the hand stove, and put the warmer side in the palm of his hand.

The hope in his heart was replaced by sporadic powerlessness.

Sometimes, even if you have seen through fate, some things will still be pushed forward by invisible hands.

If his father were to fight against the marriage for him in court today...

Dim light passed through the clouds and flowed on the towering palace walls.

"Master Hou!" The servant next to Zhen Guohou suddenly turned around, "That's..."

The chaotic sound of horseshoes broke the silence in front of Miyagi.

Xia Rong followed the prestige, and when he saw the person galloping on horseback, his brows twitched fiercely.

"Master Hou." Hei Qi barely stopped Xia Rongshan in front of the palace gate, "Master Hou, please stay."

Xia Rongshan put his hand on the knife at his waist, and sneered: "Why, the prince knows that I am going to join him in the court today, so he sent you to stop me?"

Who else in Shangjing doesn't know that the young master of Zhen Guohou's mansion vomited blood after being frightened by the Ninth Prince?

Naturally, Hei Qi also heard the rumors in Shangjing, but he seemed to know nothing, and cupped his hands with a playful smile: "What did you say?...Young Master asked me to come."

"Chaosheng?" Xia Rongshan didn't believe it, "Even if he really wanted to look for me, he would call the people around him."

For example, the maid named Xia Hua also has a bit of skill in her hands. Xia Chaosheng used to let her help spread the word.

"Master Hou, please take a moment to speak." Seeing a few eunuchs rushing out of the palace, Hei Qi immediately stopped joking, and her tone was anxious.

"Borrow one step and borrow one step." Zhen Guohou got off his horse angrily, "Is this Marquis still afraid of you?"

Hei Qi led Zhen Guohou under the palace wall.

"Master Hou, I know you won't believe what I say now." Although Hei Qi bowed his body and acted humbly, his tone didn't show much respect to Zhen Guohou, "But if I say that Lord Hou is not Well, even if you know that I am lying, you will definitely go back to the Hou Mansion to have a look... I am not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, I understand this truth, why don't you understand?"

"...You! How dare you!"

"This subordinate is the attendant of the Ninth Lord, and he is used to seeing strong winds and waves, so he has nothing to dare." Hei Qi smiled pleasingly, "The reason why this subordinate said this is to let Lord Hou understand that since this subordinate is here, Then even if you risk your life, even if you bear the crime of cursing the young master, you will not be allowed to step into the palace city."

The cold knife was out of its sheath, Xia Rongshan held the handle of the knife, he was so angry that he couldn't speak, "you" for a while, the cold wind blew, he finally regained his senses, and shouted violently: "It's unreasonable, you...you are really a lunatic, How dare you curse my son with words?!"

"Master Hou speaks seriously." Hei Qi took advantage of the situation to raise his voice, "Master Hou is a smart person, so he naturally knows what his subordinates are saying."

Why else?

Xia Rongshan's eyes turned black.

Isn't it just to stop him and prevent him from resisting the marriage of his son in the court?

There are rumors that the Ninth Prince Mu Rugui has a surly temperament and a different style of behavior. Now even his attendants dare to speak rudely to the Marquis of a country. It can be seen that the rumors are not exaggerated at all!

Xia Rongshan scolded Mu Rugui in his heart, but actually blushed and didn't say a word.

Because he is like a mirror in his heart, knowing that what Hei Qi said is not wrong at all--not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

He was concerned about Xia Chaosheng's safety, if Hei Qi really said that Xia Chaosheng was "not well", he would definitely go back to his residence to find out.

"Lord Hou, calm down." Seeing Xia Rongshan's hand removed from the handle, Hei Qi smiled playfully again, "This subordinate speaks against Lord Hou, and will go to the prince to receive punishment in the future, but what this subordinate said is the truth... It is indeed the young master who asked his subordinates to stop him here."

"Lord Hou—"

"Master Hou!"

The eunuch who came from the corridor finally came to the gate of the palace, panting and knelt down on the ground: "Welcome...Welcome Lord Marquis!"

Xia Rongshan suppressed the irritability on his face, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Get lost."

Hei Qi's smile remained unchanged, and he stopped in front of Xia Rongshan, motionless.

"Benhou..." Xia Rongshan's forehead was throbbing with veins, and he took several deep breaths before resisting the desire to chop Hei Qi directly under the palace wall, and gritted his teeth, "Benhou knows it well."

Hei Qi's gaze fell on Zhen Guohou's suddenly clenched fist, and Shi Shiran stepped aside.

Xia Rongshan hummed heavily, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the eunuch kneeling on the ground trembling: "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty..." The eunuchs trembled, "Your Majesty bestows on you..."

"No need!" Xia Rongshan didn't even look at the soft sedan chair, lifted his clothes and strode into Miyagi.

- Whoops!

Memorials were scattered all over the floor.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

The court ladies and eunuchs knelt all over the ground, and Liang Wang staggered and fell back to his seat: "I... the soft sedan chair I gave you, it's fine if the ninth brother doesn't sit in it, and a mere prince of the state dares... dares... "

--boom!

There was no memorial to smash on the dragon case, so Liang Wang directly tore off the mutton fat jade dragon pendant from his waist, and slammed it on the ground.

"Your Majesty, calm down!" The guard holding the whisk pushed open the door of the palace the moment the jade pendant shattered, "Your Majesty, calm down!"

"Chang Zhong, you came just in time." Liang Wang held his forehead, and stretched out his hand to the aged inner servant, "Quick...help me...help me..."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the slave has brought you the medicine." Chang Zhong took small steps and bowed his waist, while running, he signaled the palace ladies and eunuchs to leave.

When he ran to King Liang, the emperor, who was still furious just now, had turned blue, resting his forehead with one hand, moaning uncontrollably from the pain.

Chang Zhong hurriedly knelt in front of the dragon chair, and took out a wooden box from the sleeve: "Your Majesty..."

"Everyone has been kicked out?" Liang Wang stretched out his trembling hand, groped hard for a while in the wooden box, found a round pill, immediately pulled it out of the box impatiently, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Chang Zhong offered a cup of hot tea.

King Liang covered his forehead: "No need."

"Your Majesty, take a sip to moisten your throat." Chang Zhong persuaded earnestly, "You will go to court later."

"Shangchao?" King Liang let out a weak and cold snort from his throat, "Shangchao heard Zhen Guohou pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, scolding me for bestowing a marriage on his son!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Chang Zhong hastily placed the teacup in front of him, stood up and patted King Liang's back, "Your Majesty, Marquis Zhenguo has that temper, why do you have to argue with him?"

"I'm just so angry," Liang Wang slowly regained his composure, and signaled Chang Zhong to hand over the teacup, "I know that he treats his son as a treasure, so isn't my prince a treasure?!"

"... If his son wants to marry, my son has to marry?!"

"Isn't that the reason?" Chang Zhong smiled apologetically, "It's a great joy for His Majesty to give you a marriage. It's fine if Zhen Guohou doesn't thank you. How can you blame His Majesty instead?"

"It's because I indulged him too much these years."

"Your Majesty, the fighting in the nineteen counties of Jingye has subsided, why don't you..."

"No." Liang Wang looked at the guard, hooked his fingers, and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "There are so many barbarians in the nineteen counties of Jingye. I suddenly demoted Xia Rongshan, fearing another war."

Why doesn't Changzhong understand this truth?

The internal guard smiled and comforted King Liang: "Since this is the case, His Majesty should be happy."

"...If Marquis Zhen Guo didn't fight for his precious son's marriage, why would His Majesty berate him?"

Liang Wang was amused by Chang Zhong's words, his lips curled up, and his anger was smooth, and he laughed and cursed: "You still need to remind me?... I'm just too angry."

"It's not that you don't know, Zhen Guohou's temperament... I didn't care about him before, and I really don't think there is anything to say to a vulgar warrior!"

"Your Majesty's heart is like a mirror, so naturally you don't need to remind me." Chang Zhong supported Liang Wang's hand and accompanied him to the Golden Luan Hall.

"But what if he doesn't mention the marriage in the court today?"

Chang Zhong still had that smiling face: "The slave should congratulate His Majesty, don't be angry with vulgar people."

Liang Wang laughed, but he didn't think Zhen Guohou would bear it.

If Zhen Guohou knew how to endure, his son Xia Chaosheng would not be so arrogant that he disobeyed the imperial decree and would rather die than marry.

The bell sounded faintly, and King Liang came to the front of the Jinluan Hall, and the inner guard sang loudly: "Kneel—"

All the officials knelt down and shouted long live.

As expected by King Liang, his buttocks were still sitting still, and the voices of "the minister has a book to play" can be heard endlessly, all of which are all about the fact that the Ninth Prince Mu Rugui scared the only son of the Marquis of Zhenguo, Xia Chaosheng, and vomited blood.

While making an angry look, King Liang secretly observed Zhen Guohou's expression, but he couldn't help being a little surprised to see that Xia Rongshan, who could explode with a few words on weekdays, was so far away from his mind.

"Xia Qing, is what the ministers said true?" Liang Wang couldn't help but insinuating, "Do you want me to send more imperial physicians to your residence?"

Xia Rongshan suddenly came back to his senses, shouted "Your Majesty", and knelt down on the ground in grief.

King Liang's spirit was shaken, he straightened his back slowly, and prepared to demote Xia Rongshan in the name of anti-marriage by Zhen Guohou's mansion.

Unexpectedly, after Xia Rongshan knelt down, without further ado, he kowtowed three times, and then thanked him with tears in his eyes, saying that without the permission of His Majesty and Queen Mother back then, Gouzi would not have had the good fortune to be the prince's companion.

"I……"

Xia Rongshan didn't care what King Liang wanted to say, his purpose was to divert everyone's attention from the "marriage gift": "The dog is seriously ill in bed, and he will not forget the grace of His Majesty and the Queen Mother. When he is dying, he still begs His Majesty grants him the permission to return to Taixue, even if he is not accompanied by His Highness the Crown Prince, he is willing to do so!"

Zhen Guohou's words were resounding and powerful, not only the speaker who impeached Mu Rugui was stunned, but even Liang Wang, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was also stunned.

What about anti-marriage?

How come it's too learned!

Could it be that Xia Chaosheng has been beaten to the point where he would rather go to the Imperial Academy to listen to Confucian scholars than get married? !
