hermit meets king

Xu Cheng neatly put the quilt that was spilled on the porridge together and put it on the ground.Thinking about helping Si Kou Lin take off the wet clothes that were spilled on the porridge outside.

Si Koulin turned his body in resistance, not wanting Xu Sheng to touch him.

"Hurry up, otherwise you and I will not be able to afford to catch a serious illness." Indifferent and serious with an oppressive command tone.

Si Koulin was obedient, and followed Xu Sheng's help to take off the porridge-spattered clothes.Fortunately, it is cold in winter, so I wear three inner layers and outer layers.The clothes inside were not wet.

It just so happened that Butler Li led someone to deliver the clothes in time.A group of servants immediately surrounded him. Before Si Koulin had time to express his will to resist, the servants helped Si Koulin get dressed quickly.Quickly change the bedding on the bed.

Xu Sheng tucked Si Koulin into the bed with another backhand, and covered it tightly.

In just a split second, Steward Li led his servants back.

Xu Sheng looked at the child on the bed who was being carried like a rabbit, feeling a little happy, and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Si Koulin sneaked his eyes around the food on Table Mountain, but didn't answer.Since they can arrange anything, why ask themselves?

"Bird's nest porridge?" Xu Sheng rarely said patiently, "Yam porridge? Celery porridge?" Seeing that he followed his words, Xu Sheng's eyes fell on the celery porridge for a moment. "Longan porridge?" His eyes fell back to the quilt in front of him.

Still silent.Head buried, long hair loose to cover everything.

Xu Sheng brought the celery porridge in front of the boy, "Eat it yourself or should I feed you?"

Si Koulin looked at the celery porridge brought in front of him and curled his lips slightly. He hesitated and just wanted to reach out, but was gently separated by Xu Sheng's strong hand.

Xu Sheng sat down, scooped up a spoonful of porridge, and passed it in front of Si Koulin with a strange movement. Si Koulin had to lean forward and stretch his neck to reach the spoon with his mouth.

Xu Sheng looked at the young man, hesitated, stretched his neck like a baby giraffe, reached the food in the spoon, and quickly returned to the original position, keeping his head down from the beginning to the end, but from his From his frozen posture, it can be seen that he is very uncomfortable, even very nervous.

He is obviously a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, but he is always as primitive and transparent as a child, even like an animal.

I remember that when I was fifteen or sixteen years old, I had already learned to endure and be silent, and at the age of 16, I had already entered the frontier battlefield.

People are so different, and he has reached such a situation, doesn't he have some sinister thoughts in his mind?I just don't believe it, so well-behaved and incompetent, I'm afraid it's just superficial.

After Xu Sheng fed Si Koulin the porridge, he ordered the rest of the food to be withdrawn.The doctor was called to make a diagnosis.

The servant brought the medicine, and after Xu Sheng stared at him and drank it, everything was arranged properly.Just went back to rest.

Si Koulin is getting more and more ignorant of this imposing frontier general, the third prince of Haoyuan Kingdom.

A month ago, on the way to pick up and drop off, he took good care of himself, but in the court hall, he didn't say a word about his whereabouts.

He thought he didn't care about himself, the enemy's proton.After a month of indifference, although it was because of his falling into the water, the emperor ordered him to be sent here.But it's the same, he takes good care of himself.

It's not like in the Empress Dowager's Palace, where a remote courtyard was arranged, and a few servants even deliberately made things difficult for herself.It's only been a month, but it feels like a long time has passed.

It's useless to believe anyone, I'm just a pawn arranged at will.Don't expect anything so you won't be disappointed.

Si Koulin was recuperating in Xu Sheng's residence. He was obviously a young man, but he didn't have the slightest youthful heart.

He is always on the bed and doesn't like to go out.He always lowered his head, looked haggard and weak, and couldn't speak well.

The servants and maidservants in his room are the most leisurely, and they often don't hear a single order for a day.

Xu Sheng had just returned to Beijing, and he had the appearance of being a leisurely prince, but he had to be secretly busy with many affairs and arrangements.I come to have a look every day, but I don't stay for long.

During these ten days and a half months, the prince has not been idle.After the proton fell into the water, I felt very upset.

He even thought about trampling Xu Yanzhuo under his feet.In the past two days, I have been sending invitations to Mrs. Wen, making a good plan.

He wants to marry the Taifu's daughter as his own princess.In this way, he won over the world's famous Confucian Wen Taifu and let him stand in his door.

In this way, his favorite student will definitely be on his side.Why worry that Qi Wenxiu doesn't work for him.

It's just that he didn't expect that the daughter of Wen Taifu would not agree for a long time.Master Wen didn't express his opinion at all.

Taking advantage of the fact that my daughter has just reached Ji and is still young, I want to use it as an excuse to talk about it later, and repeatedly shirk it.But I have the heart to ask for it, and I can't use force.

The counselor below came up with a method of cooking raw rice and cooked rice. Although the method is a bit old, it can achieve the goal.

The queen's birthday was not meant to be arranged, but because of the persuasion of the crown prince, he invited some senior officials' wives, their daughters and young unmarried sons of senior officials to create opportunities for them and make connections.

If someone really becomes a good family member, the queen will give them a marriage, and naturally the two families will get married, and those two families will also turn their hearts to the queen and prince.There is also the matter of wanting to choose a side concubine for the prince, which has been undecided.

This time the arrangement was very grand, and many daughters of everyone were ordered to come to the palace to participate in the garden banquet for the queen's birthday.Many children from aristocratic families came to show their faces.

Prince Rui and Prince Tai'an were also present.There is also the prince who is by the queen's side, sweeping away the previous haze, looking like a happy spring.

Wen Shuya, the daughter of Taifu Wen's family who just reached Jiji, also came.Last time the crown prince and Lord Rui both went to congratulate her, and the crown prince even praised her reputation as the most beautiful woman in Kyoto.It has to be talked about by everyone until now.

Xu Yanzhuo carefully looked at Wen Shuya, who was with a kind of female relative, and there was nothing wrong with it.

I wondered in my heart, Qi Wenxiu asked himself to pay attention to Wen Taifu's daughter today, what will happen?

Everyone sat at the table, and the emperor came with the queen's money, the heavenly majesty of the emperor, and the eyes of the people.

Young men and women are young and careful, and they are also shocked by the royal majesty. Many of them have never been in the palace. This is the first time and the first time they have seen the emperor and queen.Sincere and fearful, they are all youthful, without the cunning and roundness of the old man in the palace and officialdom.

After drinking for three banquets, the emperor has to deal with political affairs, and the queen will take everyone to visit the imperial garden together.

The crowd spoke softly, and followed the queen in groups of twos and threes, and slowly toured and savored the center of the world's power, the fairyland where the most noble people lived.

While enjoying himself in the garden, Xu Sheng discovered that Wen Shuya had disappeared.After careful consideration and the news reported by the spies in the past few days, I am afraid that today's matter will not be so simple.Could it be that the prince is playing tricks?

Taking a closer look, the prince who was accompanying the queen and accompanying him in the garden had long since disappeared.

After Xu Sheng quietly retreated from the crowd, he returned the same way, but did not see any useful news.

At a secluded path in the palace garden, a little eunuch hurriedly bumped into Xu Sheng, knelt down and apologized.Xu Sheng helped him up and left.

I saw that the little eunuch who left in a hurry rolled up a small note from his hand in a subtle way, and there were only four small words "Prince's whereabouts" on it.The little prince casually wiped his mouth and swallowed the small note.

But in just a moment, a little maid carrying a dinner plate hurried past Xu Sheng.

The little maid quickly bowed and stepped aside, letting the prince pass first.

Xu Sheng walked past the little maid, glanced at the dinner plate hurriedly, then walked towards the Tai Chi Hall.

The utensils on the little palace lady's dinner plate are special cups for the Tai Chi Hall, with Yin Yang Tai Chi patterns.Most importantly, the lid of that cup is staggered.

Xu Sheng hurriedly found the Tai Chi Hall, and sure enough, he saw a place where few people come here on weekdays, but today there were people guarding it outside.

Xu Sheng wanted to enter under the pretext that he wanted to bring the Taiji flag to entertain the queen.But he was stopped by the guards outside.

"Presumptuous, can this king not even enter a mere Tai Chi hall?" Xu Sheng shouted.

"My lord, please leave as soon as possible." All the guards did not retreat at all. "My lord, don't embarrass the little one. It won't be too late to take the Taiji flag after it's over."

"Presumptuous, will it be you, a dog slave, who can say it sooner or later?" Xu Sheng looked stern and anxious.

But relying on his deep internal strength, he heard the faint voice of a woman calling for help inside.

Xu Haoqiong would use these indecent methods.Just this one time is enough to ruin his reputation.It's just that as soon as possible, if Shu Ya is really defiled by him, it will be difficult for the Taifu to explain.

Just when Xu Sheng was trying to make things big, he was stopped by a group of little guards.When there is nothing to do.

"Presumptuous!" Xu Yanzhuo, who was dressed in a purple costume, stepped forward, "My third brother and I are going to enter the Tai Chi Hall, who dares to stop me?"

"Here, Lord Rui." The guard commander was apologetic, "Master Rui, don't make things difficult for me. Let people go in, and my life will not be saved."

"Hmph, no need to say much." Xu Yanzhuo was about to rush inside.But he was still stopped by the guards.

Xu Yanzhuo reached out and pulled out a guard's saber, stabbing it into the guard's abdomen.The white knife goes in, the red knife goes out, clean and neat.There was fierceness between the bright eyebrows, "Who else dares to stop me?"

Only then did the guards back away slowly, knowing that his death would be in vain.

Xu Yanzhuo threw down the blood-stained saber, retreated fiercely in an instant, his handsome face was full of color, turned around and walked towards the Tai Chi Hall.

Xu Cheng, who was following behind Xu Yanzhuo, looked at the crimson figure and smiled inexplicably.It seems that he is not easy to find this place.It was unexpected.

The two entered the Tai Chi Hall and broke through the door.Seeing that the crown prince was laying hands on Wen Shuya, half of the clothes had already been removed, revealing round fragrant shoulders and a pure white undershirt.

Wen Shuya struggled desperately, but her limbs were weak.Presumably he was drugged.

The prince raised his eyes and saw the two people who broke in, and knew that something was wrong.
