birth

The crown prince's canonization ceremony was scheduled to take place half a month later, and the turbulent court situation became panic again.

But Xu Jia seemed to have never smelled something unusual, as usual, he walked the birds and looked at the flowers every day, healed his wounds, and listened to music.Chu Minghuang asked him to go up to court, but he refused to go up, and directly evaded that he couldn't get up.

All of a sudden, half of the people in the court heard the secret of the East Palace: His Royal Highness, who just took over the throne, is probably a fool.

The idiot didn't have any airs at all, he happily went to the clothing bureau to measure the size.

"Welcome Your Highness the Crown Prince." Li Nanny from the Clothing Bureau didn't know that Xu Jia was coming, so she hurriedly knelt down to greet her, and immediately fell down on her knees behind her, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is really despicable. Hui, I just don't know why His Royal Highness is here today?"

Xu Jia was not at all uncomfortable, he yawned, found a place to sit down, and looked around, "Didn't you say that you are going to measure the clothes for that day in the hall?" His eyes turned around and fell on Kneeling on Nanny Li at the front, seeing that she was still in a daze, she reminded, "Don't you want to measure?"

Mother Li's heart skipped a beat, and as soon as she raised her head to meet his gaze, she immediately lowered her gaze and began to smack her mouth, "It's my slave who didn't think carefully, and let His Royal Highness come to supervise in person. It's my slave's fault. Your Highness Haihan."

Xu Jia waved her hand, put his hand on his chin and urged in a drawn-out voice, "Are you going to work?"

"Yes, servant girl will arrange it now." Madam Li got up and directed everyone to get busy.

Xu Jia drooped her eyelids and looked at the court ladies coming and going in front of her, looking like eggplants beaten by Shuang.

He had a dream all night yesterday, and he woke up this morning, not remembering anything, he still had a splitting headache, his whole face was much paler than usual, but Fuer seemed to be busy doing something, not only did he not After discovering his abnormality, he hastily finished his breakfast and disappeared.Looking at the table full of breakfast that had hardly been touched, Xu Jia looked down at the bean bun in his hand again, pursed his lips, and immediately felt that it was not tasty.

Zhou Shun, who was standing beside him, stepped forward and asked with great insight, "His Royal Highness, if you are tired, why don't we go back to the palace first? It's the same to let them prepare their tools before going to the East Palace."

Xu Jia turned his gaze and landed on the little eunuch in front of him.

Zhou Shun had just entered the Eastern Palace a few days ago, he was alert and easy-talking, so he was always brought by his side to serve him. Xu Jia suddenly asked, "Shunzi, do you think there is anything interesting in this palace?"

Zhou Shun paused, thought for a while and said, "Not long ago, the emperor built a hot spring at the Li Palace. Not only the emperor loves to go there, but even the princesses often get together in the Li Palace. It must be very interesting. of."

Xu Jia pursed her lips and said nothing.

Seeing his dazed look, Zhou Shun added, "Perhaps the Prime Minister of the State is soaking in the hot spring there."

Xu Jia's body was visibly stiff this time, and after a while, he glanced at Zhou Shun coldly, "Who said I'm looking for him?"

Zhou Shun smiled, lowered his head and slapped himself on the mouth, "Yes, Xiao Shunzi is talking too much."

Xu Jia leaned back, and after sitting for a while, seeing Zhou Shun still giggling, she kicked him directly, "Laugh again?"

Zhou Shun stepped back, his mouth shut honestly.

Suddenly, Xu Jia stood up, winked at Zhou Shun, and walked away.

Zhou Shun immediately cleared his throat, "His Royal Highness is tired today, see you off."

The Shangyi Bureau immediately fell to its knees again, and Li Mama nervously moved to Zhou Shun's side, took a small gold bag and slipped it into his hand, "But the servant girl's poor greetings today offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Zhou Shun listened, "Don't worry, mama, just come to the East Palace some other day after you have prepared your tools."

Nanny Li breathed a sigh of relief instantly, feeling that her head was saved, "Thank you, Eunuch Zhou."

Walking to the imperial garden, there was a sudden sound of children playing not far away, which seemed to be mixed with Fuer's voice, "Be careful!"

Xu Jia stopped in her tracks immediately.

Zhou Shun, who was walking behind, almost ran into him, and quickly knelt down to plead guilty, "His Royal Highness atones."

Xu Jia turned his head to look in the direction of the rockery, but he didn't even see a single person. It seemed that everything just now was just his hallucination.

He squinted his eyes, then looked away, "Zhou Shun."

Zhou Shun, "No."

"Go and find out where the Prime Minister is now."

Xu Jia walked towards her room restlessly, this feeling of not being under his control was really annoying.Where did Fuer go mysteriously these days?Could he be secretly colluding with those ministers?Or did he discover something he didn't know?These unknown things made Xu Jia panic. Although he felt that Yi Fu Er's temperament would not do anything harmful, but... Xu Jia's eyes became sharp... But he is different, he is not human, He is only a half-demon, back then Fuer saved him with compassion, so now he really has no grudge against him?

Xu Jia clenched her fists, her eyes were ruthless.

Since he could save him at that time, it is possible for him to feel compassion again now and want to kill him.

The sweetness and warmth of yesterday seemed to have disappeared at this moment, and the sunken heart was closed again forcefully by him.

Suddenly, the sound of porcelain breaking came from the next room.

His heart skipped a beat, and his hands froze on the lion's door knocker.

Fule is back?

Xu Jia turned around and walked towards the door of the next room.The moment the door opened, that harmless smile appeared on his face again.

When he saw the scene in the room clearly, Xu Jia froze in place for a moment, and the "brother" he shouted got stuck in his throat.

There was a child standing tall in the room, with bare feet on the ground, wearing only a middle coat, and an oversized outer shirt - Xu Jia remembered that Fu Er had just worn it a few days ago.

The child was looking helplessly at the broken porcelain cup on the ground, but when he saw someone coming in, he was too frightened to move.

Xu Jia swallowed her saliva, feeling dazed, and subconsciously thought, this is... that Fuer has become smaller?

Time passed quietly, and neither of the two spoke first, until Xu Jia endured the panic in his heart, and then asked bluntly, "Fu...Fu Er?"

Xu Jia's voice seemed to have awakened some memory of the child in an instant. His eyes were widened in surprise, and the next moment, trembling milk fat, he flew towards Xu Jia on his short legs, and his mouth was full of tears. Shouted crisply, "Brother Jia!"

Xu Jia was afraid that the broken porcelain pieces on the ground would hurt him, so he yelled in desperation, "Don't move!"

The child was frightened by him, and froze on the spot, not daring to move, half-raised his hands and looked at him with tears in his eyes.

Xu Jia breathed a sigh of relief, and when he was about to step forward to hug him, Fu Er's anxious voice suddenly sounded behind him, "Xu Jia!"

Xu Jia was frightened into place by this roar, but he didn't move at all.

He looked at the two Fuers, one big and one small, in front of him, and his brain was in a shutdown state.

Fuer picked up the other "little Fuer", and softly and gently checked the injury on the sole of "little Fuer". Fortunately, the injury was not serious, Fuer's frowning brows relaxed, and then he remembered Xu Jia's existence, just when he raised his head to explain, he heard Xu Jia asked with a dull face, "I... am I dreaming?"

Fuer, "..."

Xu Jia obediently sat aside and watched Fuer administer the medicine to the child. After sitting for a while, she still couldn't hold back and said, "I thought it was you just now..."

Fu Er lowered his head and smiled, "Do I look like An An?"

"Hiss." Xu Jia tilted his head, "It doesn't look like that at all."

The child interjected, "Brother Jia and I look alike!"

Xu Jia, "..."

Fuer pursed his lips and smiled, and said intentionally, "Yes, it's just as cute."

Xu Jia took a deep breath, pursed her lips and remained silent.

But after being quiet for a while, he stretched his legs carelessly again, blatantly violating Fuer's territory.

Fuer ignored him and concentrated on administering the medicine to the child.

Xu Jia dishonestly kicked him.

Fu Er chuckled lightly, but still ignored him.

On the contrary, the kid had been staring at Xu Jia from the very beginning without blinking his eyes, so that it was hard for Xu Jia not to pay attention, so he raised his eyebrows extremely, "Kid, what are you looking at me for?"

The child shyly covered his face with Fule's sleeve.

Xu Jia leaned forward while talking, "Looks good?"

Fu Er raised his head and glared at him, "Xu Jia, can you..."

Xu Jia's movements stopped, and he turned to look at him, "What can I do?"

"..." Fuer pursed his lips, swallowed the last half of the sentence, and turned to tell the child, "An'an, your foot is hurt, don't go to the rockery to play all the time these few days Got it, got it?"

"Okay." The child was white and clean, like a glutinous rice dumpling, "Brother Fu Er will also find An An to play with tomorrow."

Fuer helped him get dressed, "Okay."

The child took a peek at Xu Jia, then moved closer to Fu Er's ear, and asked quietly, "Then will Brother Jia come tomorrow?"

Fu'er helped him fasten the jade buckle, and whispered to his ear and replied, "Brother, can I ask you later?"

Xu Jia, "..." So do you really think he can't hear you?

Fu'er turned his head and handed the child to the palace maid of Mengshu Palace. When he was about to go out to send it off, Xu Jia's outstretched legs caught his legs. The boy smiled, "An An, good boy, go back and heal your wounds with peace of mind, my brother will see you tomorrow."

It wasn't until the door was closed that Xu Jia slowly retracted her legs and said with a smile, "When will brother come to see Jiajia?"

Fuer turned around, and just when he was about to say something, his eyes suddenly fell on Xu Jia's wrist sleeve - there was a large bloodstain there at some point, and it was still dripping blood at this moment.He frowned, then turned to ask, "Why don't you tell me you're hurt?"

It was only then that Xu Jia noticed that the wound on his wrist had opened at some point, and it should have been scratched by Fu Er just now.He just wanted to say that he was fine, but when he looked up, he happened to see Fuer's worried face, and immediately took advantage of the situation to "hiss".

Fu Er was really fooled, "Why don't I help you with the medicine?"

Xu Jia, "But I'm afraid of pain."

Fuer, "Then I'll take it easy."

Xu Jia reluctantly said, as if he had made a great sacrifice, "Okay."

Fu'er helped him find the medicine, and said with a guilty conscience, "I'm sorry..."

Xu Jia looked up at him, opened his mouth and remained silent.

"I... I heard you seem very angry before I entered the door just now, so I thought you were going to hit An'an." Fuer buried his head and explained to him, "Maybe I was in a hurry and didn't pay attention, so I just..."

Xu Jia stretched out his hand suddenly, and forced his face to turn around. When his eyes met, his words got stuck for a moment, he withdrew his hand, and said dryly, "Apply the medicine."

Fuer lowered his head obediently because of his guilty conscience, "Oh."

After being quiet for a while, Fu Er took the initiative to explain, "I was playing with An An in the Imperial Garden today, and An An accidentally got his clothes wet. I was afraid that he would catch a cold, so I brought him back first." Jia's place, due to emotion and reason, he has no right to bring someone back without his permission.

Xu Jia didn't reply, and asked after a while, "So you stayed with this child every day during this time?"

"Yeah." Fu'er lowered his head to help him wrap the gauze, and denied it, "How can there be a day?"

Xu Jia raised his eyebrows, "Of course there are."

Fu Er deliberately said, "Oh, well, I went out to play with the puppy yesterday."

Xu Jia smiled, followed his words and replied, "Yes, you seemed to be angry with that puppy yesterday."

"..." Fuer helped him tie the knot and straightened up, "It's wrapped."

Xu Jia shook his wrist left and right, appreciating it from all directions up and down, and then asked him seemingly unintentionally, "How did you know that kid?" Fuer paused, then looked up at him, " Xu Jia, that's your younger brother."

Xu Jia didn't turn his head around for a moment, "Where is my younger brother?"

"The seventh prince of Gancheng, the eldest grandson Cheng'an."

"..." Oh, he had already forgotten about this. Not only did he have a cheap father, but he also had many brothers and sisters as if he had won a lottery.

At this point, Fu Er pursed his lips, he seemed very hesitant, and asked, "Xu Jia...you, do you really plan to be this prince?"

Xu Jia looked at him and said with a smile, "It seems that there is no harm."

Fu Er, "But the crown prince should belong to An An." After finishing speaking, Fu Dun felt that this was a bit inappropriate, and added, "No... I didn't mean that, I..." But he organized After talking for a long time, he couldn't find a suitable wording. In fact, he just wanted to ask, Xu Jia knew that Chu Minghuang was only going crazy for a while, so why did he accompany him in this scene?Does he really want to be the prince?Really want to be the king of Gancheng?

Xu Jia's face froze, and he said with a random smile, "Brother, are you blaming me for stealing the child's things?"

Fuer looked at him, and even the words of denial froze in his throat for a while.

"Brother thinks that only you and I know... is my prince a fake?" Xu Jia smiled, "Brother might as well ask, does anyone in the court believe that I am the real prince? Who else believes me?" Can this fake prince really ascend to the throne?"

"But no one objected, do you know why brother?"

"Because the current situation is unstable, because they don't have a suitable candidate, and because they just need someone to take this position." Xu Jia shook his feet, his eyes fell on his own toes, "They all want to take advantage of me. They were ordered to get rid of each other, so now they don't dare to act rashly, for fear that they will be caught by the other party if they are not careful."

"Brother, but..." Xu Jia's eyes turned to Fu Er's face, "As long as I show any desire for the throne, they will kill me without hesitation."

"So brother, even if you want your An An to ascend to the throne, just wait. Wait until these wolves kill each other first, wait until this position is no longer so dangerous, wait until then..." Xu Jia held Fu Er's hand , "If you really want it, I'll give it back to you."

Fu Er felt his throat was dry, "Xu Jia..."

Xu Jia tilted her head and fell on Fu Er's lap, her face was a little tired, and then she closed her eyes.

Fuer pursed his lips, but he didn't push him away, but just pulled the blanket beside him, and gently covered him.

At this time, Xu Jia suddenly asked, "Brother, I heard that you are a disciple of the Wangshuo School?"

Fu Er paused, nodded randomly and said, "Well, but it's no longer the case."

Xu Jia asked unintentionally, "Then brother, can you tell me about the fun things you did when you practiced Taoism?"

"Actually, it's not much fun." Fuer smiled, and fixed his eyes on a certain place in the void, "It's just meditating every day, practicing kung fu, practicing swords, reciting rules, sleeping, and practicing."

Xu Jia said deliberately, "It must be too boring, so my brother will come down the mountain."

He didn't hear the expected negative answer, only heard Fu Er's faint "hmm".

Xu Jia pursed her lips and said nothing.He originally wanted to talk to Fuer, but he didn't expect Fuer's mouth to be so strict.

He purposely said such words to show his loyalty, and then when Fu Er relaxed his vigilance, he took the opportunity to bring up the topic of Wang Shuo faction.

Xu Jia felt that the relationship between Mo Xuling and the Wangshuo School was not that simple, so he urgently needed to know more about the Wangshuo School, and Fuer was undoubtedly the fastest and most convenient way, but it seems... There is really no way to figure it out.

Xu Jia, who was slowly thinking about things, actually closed his eyes just like that, and the blue-gray eyes below became extremely eye-catching.Fu'er stroked lightly with his index finger, this is... Didn't sleep, okay?

In his mind, he retorted Xu Jia just now, "How can there be every day?"

But Xu Jia said coquettishly to him, "Obviously there is!"

He also thought of Xu Jia's indifferent words just now, as if he had been abandoned by the whole world.

"If you really want it, I'll give it back to you."

Fu Er's heart suddenly softened a lot, looking at Xu Jia who was sleeping soundly, his throat choked up, "I'm sorry."
