hermit meets king

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, officers and soldiers stopped him.Xu Sheng showed his official badge before entering the palace gate.

In this majestic and formidable palace, Si Kou Lin felt more and more small and powerless.

In the resplendent palace hall, the emperor sat upright on a high throne, dressed in a dragon robe, solemn and solemn.All the officials in the court held their official cards and stood bowed.

"Report, the prince of Tai'an leads the fourth prince of Si Kou to go to the pilgrimage." The father-in-law said in a voice.

All the officials looked back at the majestic general in silver armor, and the young man in white fine attire following him.

Si Koulin straightened his back, lowered his head, and followed the heels of the great general, walking step by step.

The gaze of the surroundings, the calm pressure of the screen, is even worse than when he first appeared in the Si Kou Kingdom as a prince three years ago.

Xu Sheng brought Si Kuolin to the front of the hall, lifted the corner of his clothes, bowed respectfully to the emperor, and said, "I bow to the emperor."

Si Koulin stood aside for a moment, then slowly knelt on the ground, but didn't know what to say.

There was a commotion among the officials below.

Xu Sheng turned his head and gestured to Si Koulin.

Si Kou Lin said slowly, "The fourth son of Jianguo pays his respects to the emperor."

Fortunately, the emperor didn't take it seriously, he raised his hand and said with a smile, "Get up." Fu said kindly again, "Sikou Haoyuan, we are friends now. Son, just treat Haoyuan as your own home."

"Yes." Si Koulin bowed his head and bowed.

"Father, the fourth prince is still young, why not let the queen mother take him." The prince walked out.Although anyone with a discerning eye can see it, what age is too young?They are all fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys.

It is already the age when you can wear a crown to tie your hair.But the crown prince said he was still young, so of course he was still young.

However, on the other side, Prince Rui, who was dressed in purple and purple clothes, chuckled lightly, "Brother, children of this age are all playful, and Yan Xue is arguing for me to accompany her to study every day, why don't you let him go and be with Yan Xue?" Companion." The fourth princess Xu Yanxue is at the age of fourteen or fifteen, which is a good time for innocence.

"Yan Xue will reach the age of Ji next year, and she still needs to learn more about being a daughter." The prince bowed to the emperor and said, "Father, let the queen take care of her."

The emperor asked the officials, "How do the officials feel?"

Next, Prime Minister Wang stood up, "Your Majesty, I feel that I should let a country's descendants be educated to show their kindness."

When the chief minister of the court bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I think that the fourth prince has reached the age of wearing hair and a crown, so he should be assigned to serve by palace servants, and he can go to the Imperial Academy with the prince and princess on weekdays."

Si Koulin lowered his head and froze, listening to this group of people who had nothing to do with him, arguing about where he should go.

He raised his eyes and peeked at the silent general next to him, standing up straight, looking at the ground with a solemn face, as if everything that happened around him had nothing to do with him.The unruliness I saw on the border all the way before was restrained at this moment.

The emperor pressed his eyebrows, and finally said, "Then let the queen take care of it."

Just such a sentence determines the direction of my future life.Si Koulin lowered his head, clutching his sleeves tightly, not wanting to admit it.

But I still have to admit that if I were to be chosen among this group of strangers, I would rather follow the general who brought me all the way back with me in the future.No, it should be Prince Tai'an of Haoyuan Kingdom.

But he didn't even say a word, didn't make an expression.

That being the case, why did he take care of himself along the way?

Si Koulin lowered his head and was naturally silent. Naturally, it was impossible to react or show resistance.

After the court, Si Koulin was taken to the Queen's Palace along with the servants.

In the Hall of Filial Piety, he met the graceful and luxurious queen, and randomly assigned him a residence, including two young eunuchs and pretty servants.Then let Si Koulin retreat.

Empress Xia is more dignified and dignified. She is the queen of a country, and her behavior and words are all national etiquette.The appearance is not as beautiful and enchanting as Concubine Ruan Gui, but more of the kindness and kindness of a person who is approaching middle age.

But the skills and abilities are far from being as simple as they appear on the surface. They can live in this deep palace without making mistakes.

"Mother, we can be considered to have made a comeback." The one who followed Empress Xia was the current crown prince Xu Haoqiong.Dressed in dignified yellow, the prince's Kowloon costume.

"Who knows?" Empress Xia sat down dignifiedly and said, "This matter can only be said to be in our hands."

Seeing that his mother was still unhappy, the prince had no choice but to restrain his smile just now, "Yes..."

"Now we still need to find Crouching Dragon. Don't let others get there first." Empress Xia warned, "Be more respectful and don't mess around."

The prince didn't take it seriously in his heart, it was because of your indomitable temperament that other people climbed up.But I can't say this by myself, "My son knows, don't worry about it, queen mother."

"How can I rest assured? You have never understood that as a prince, you should sit upright, have the world in mind, have the style of a prince, and not be too narrow-minded. You don't have great wisdom, but you are in the name of benevolence."

The queen earnestly wanted to continue to say to the prince, "You were kind and generous when you were a child, but now you are much more narrow-minded."

"Queen, why do you say that about your son?" The prince said beside the queen, "I was stupid when I was young, but naturally I think too much when I grow up. You have said it all, and my son was kind when he was young. It's nature, and it won't change. Now it's just a matter of not fighting."

Empress Xia listened to what the prince didn't listen to, and even continued to argue. "You can't listen to it anymore. Forget it, step back." Some things can only be understood after experiencing them.He still can't understand it now, and it's useless to say more.

"Yes, my son will leave." The prince bowed and came out.I still feel that the queen mother is old, otherwise she will be the queen and prince.

But how can anyone else get to this position if they take some means, especially when there is a prince with eight dragon balls.

I didn't understand it when I was young, and no one taught this.Now, that is not fighting openly and secretly to step over them and sit in the seat that originally belonged to him.

The prince came to the proton, and the queen mother was still the same.This is a secluded and good place arranged for people, and there are beautiful maids and servants.Is this here to be a proton, or to enjoy happiness in this bustling palace?

The prince summoned the two eunuchs and gave some instructions.Give him a little bit of trouble first, and then come and take him away by yourself.

Give a mallet and a date.Now his situation is not what he decides.

Just as the prince arranged, Xu Taiyan was not doing well somewhere in the queen's palace.

At first, the two maidservants and the three eunuchs were respectful.In a blink of an eye, there is no respect.

After half a day's work, I really saw the crowds and hundreds of faces in the depths of the palace.

Even a small maid and eunuch have this ability.Changing the attitude of the face is like changing the person.

But it can only be accepted silently.Here, it still seems to be under house arrest.

Xu Sheng returned to Tai'an Palace.

Tai'an Prince's Mansion is well-organized. There are two big stone lions outside the door, and the red characters on the door, Tai'an Prince's Mansion.

Domineering and powerful.It has been almost a month since the last time I entered the mansion and went to the border to settle affairs.After picking up the proton, he went directly to the palace again.Did not return home.

Last time it was dilapidated and overgrown with weeds.Now, it finally looks like a palace.

Xu Sheng stopped outside the mansion door and smiled.There was a look of rebelliousness in the golden eyes.

It's ridiculous, but so what?Touching the sweaty horse under his crotch, he thought, take your time, it's always mine.

He got off his horse and entered the mansion.I have to praise Steward Song's ability.

The courtyard, which was overgrown with weeds, is now so beautifully colored, with rockery, clear water, pavilions and pavilions, all of which are carefully arranged, which is very pleasing to the eye.

It's just that many flowers and plants have just been planted, a little sluggish, not very lively.Take your time, and you will always be able to grow red and willow green, full of vitality.

As soon as he returned to the mansion and settled down, spies came to report.Even with portraits.With the appearance of a clean scholar, this person is actually the suzerain of the Duromen.

That's interesting.Moreover, I am afraid that he is deliberately revealing his identity now.

It turned out that he was Taifu Wen's favorite student, but he didn't know that he was the suzerain of Du Luomen.

I am afraid that the threshold of Wen Taifu's family will be broken by the crown prince and Prince Rui.Xu Sheng conveniently burned the note in his hand.

Sure enough, spies came to report for several days in a row, the prince and Prince Rui secretly courted each other, but found that the scholar was completely unmoved.

It coincides with the day when I heard that Taifu's beloved daughter and Ji are born, and it is Daqing's birthday.All important ministers were invited to come to Wen Taifu's mansion to celebrate.

It is not surprising that Xu Sheng received the post, he has always been in contact with Mrs. Wen.When she was young, her mother and concubine had a very good personal relationship with the Taifu.When I was a child, I also played with the daughter of the Taifu family.

Prepare generous gifts and go to Taifu's house.

Among the surrounding guests, he glanced around, and finally found the scholar, drinking alone in the corner, very elegant.It's just that people like this say that he is the suzerain of the Duromen in the world, but it is not convincing.

Of course, a capable person cannot be taken away by ordinary people's reasoning.

When Xu Sheng was looking at the scholar in the corner through the congratulatory crowd, the scholar just happened to raise his head, and the two looked at each other.

Xu Cheng smiled, raised his hand in the air to signal the wine glass, and drank the wine himself.

Unexpectedly, that scholar turned out to be a bold person, he also raised his glass, poured a glass of wine to Xu Sheng, and drank it down.

Xu Sheng smiled, and it really wasn't the pedantic appearance he imagined.

At this moment, a servant shouted to report that the prince had arrived.

Many officials in the courtyard were very surprised, they did not expect that Wen Taifu's daughter, Jiji, even alarmed the crown prince.

Could it be that beauties in this world are really so beautiful?And I heard that Taifu's daughter is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Not only is she the most beautiful woman in the capital, but she also has heard of the teachings of the Taifu. She is virtuous and virtuous, which is rare in the world.

In this way, the crown prince came to congratulate her on the day of her birthday, could it be that he wanted him to be the crown prince?

In the guessing and thinking of everyone, the crown prince was wearing a golden royal robe, and the wind was blowing under his feet.Followed by a group of attendants carrying gifts.There are two boxes of treasures.

"I'm going to see the prince." Wen Taifu saluted the prince together with the others. "Teacher please get up.

"The prince held the hand of the Taifu with his hands." The Taifu's beloved daughter and Ji, the widows came to congratulate. ""The lower officials are panicked." The Taifu hastily bowed to the prince, "The lower officials have thanked the prince on behalf of my daughter."

"It doesn't matter." The prince turned around and looked at the many officials in the courtyard.In the end, his eyes were fixed on the poor scholar in a corner.

Wen Taifu is about to take the prince to sit at the table.But another servant called, "Lord Rui is here!"
