Chapter 3 - Can there be a prince in the world for twenty years?
Xiao Zhang glanced at the flustered Concubine Chen, who was looking at her with pleading eyes.
For a moment, Xiao Zhang hesitated.
His sporadic memories told him that he went to peek at Concubine Chen taking a bath, but he didn't see Concubine Chen taking a bath, but he saw Concubine Chen piercing a villain.
It was also for this reason that after Concubine Chen hit Xiao Zhang with a jade pillow, she couldn't wait to rush to blow the pillow to kill Xiao Zhang.
Xiao Zhang looked aggrieved: "I saw this sister playing with the little straw man earlier and pricking it with needles. And when she saw me, she hit me with a pillow and gave me a big blow on the head.
Bao. It hurts me to death."
While talking, Xiao Zhang lowered his head to let Xiao Shaoquan look at the back of his head.
The bag was as big as a steamed bun. Xiao Zhang was not beaten to death despite such a serious injury. It was because of his hard life.
It seems that what Xiao Zhang said is true.
Xiao Shaoquan was thinking this, and his face was already so gloomy that he could shed tears.
Concubine Chen's face turned livid when she saw this situation, and she was finished.
"Is what he said true?"
Concubine Chen knelt down with a puff: "Your Majesty, that's not the case. Please listen to my concubine's explanation."
Xiao Shaoquan ignored it and waved his hand, and Li Wenying, the personal eunuch, turned around and left.
After a while, Li Wenying brought back a yellow cloth bag.
It was opened, and inside was a straw man with Chinese characters on it. It was covered with silver needles.
Xiao Shaoquan picked it up and took a look at it. If the horoscope was not his own, who else could it be?
Xiao Jiye let go of the anger in his heart, and suddenly realized: "No wonder the imperial concubine wanted to kill an idiot like me just now. It turned out to be to silence her."
Concubine Chen's face turned pale, and Xiao Shaoquan couldn't control his anger.
"Pull it down and hand it over to Captain Ting for strict investigation!"
Li Wenying did not dare to neglect, so she agreed and hurried off.
Just as Concubine Chen was being taken down and Xiao Shaoquan had someone untie Xiao Zhang, there was a burst of footsteps outside the tent.
Xiao Zhang looked back and saw a woman in the lead. She was graceful and noble, with an extraordinary temperament.
Although time has left traces on her face, it still cannot hide her extraordinary appearance.
What a nice view.
Who are these girls?
While Xiao Zhang was confused, her cheap dad next to him knelt down together with all the eunuchs in the tent: "The sinners (minions) see the Queen."
Xiao Zhang suddenly realized that this was the Queen, no wonder she was so beautiful.
"I have met your Majesty."
"Zi Tong is exempt from gifts."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Zitong, what's the matter?"
Empress Liu glanced at Xiao Zhang and his son and nodded: "Your Majesty, I heard from Yu Xin that you want to kill Zhang'er?"
Xiao Shaoquan frowned: "When did I say that?"
Xiao Zhang, who was on the ground, looked behind Queen Liu and saw Xiao Yuxin winking at him in the crowd, signaling that he should not be afraid.
"Since Your Majesty didn't have this idea, why did you summon Zhang'er in a hurry? And then made him kneel on the ground? Your Majesty, I heard from Yu Xin what happened. Zhang'er just passed by the inner tent and was hit by Sister Chen with a jade pillow.
The back of the head. Let’s not talk about whether Zhang’er is born with dementia and has the heart. Even if he does, it should be left to Zong Zhengqing to deal with. Could it be that His Majesty can’t wait to take action against his brother now that he has secured his position?”
"Zitong me..."
"The King of Eastern Hunan is unparalleled in his loyalty and righteousness. Without his sacrifice and sacrifice, how could your Majesty be where you are today? He is such a stupid son, how can you bear to let him die?"
Queen Liu's words made Xiao Shaoquan feel ashamed.
In addition, Xiao Shaoquan also figured out the truth of the matter, and sighed: "Zi Tong, the matter has been clarified. I misunderstood Zhang'er. Come, please loosen Zhang'er's bonds. King Xiangdong, this time
I'll spare you, and take a good look at your silly son when you go back."
Xiao Jiye was very happy: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the guilty minister, and thank you, the Queen."
While talking, Xiao Jiye kowtowed and pulled Xiao Zhang away backwards.
The father and son came out of the tent, and Xiao Jiye wiped the sweat from his forehead: "God bless, God bless, idiot, my father has told you more than once that there is no family affection in the Tian family. If you continue like this, we will be guillotined sooner or later.
.”
Xiao Zhang was silent, thinking to himself: Who would have thought that my predecessor would be stupid enough to peek at the imperial concubine taking a bath?
As the prince of a prince, wouldn't it be nice for him to be a dandy, hugging each other, fighting cocks and walking dogs?
What else in life is more meaningful than lying down and being a happy rice insect?
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhang nodded: "Old man, I understand."
Xiao Jiye slapped Xiao Zhang on the back of the head: "Call me daddy."
···
The news of Concubine Chen's arrest reached the ears of Prince Xiao Kui.
"No, the imperial concubine treats me well. I have to save her."
Eunuch Wang Ren grabbed Xiao Kui and said, "Your Highness, you must not do this. Now it is said that the imperial concubine stabbed a villain and cursed your majesty. If you go at this time, won't you make your majesty angry?"
Xiao Kuixin said I want to go even more.
Wang Ren didn't know, but Xiao Kui understood that it was his tacit approval and instruction that Concubine Chen stabbed the villain.
Emperor Xiao Shaoquan is fifty-six years old this year, but he is still in good health.
I have been in the position of prince for twenty years, but the old man not only refused to delegate power to me, but also strictly prohibited me from contacting foreign ministers.
Those were the most precious twenty years of my life.
How many more twenty years are there in life? Is there ever a prince who has twenty years in the world?
Xiao Kui had already secretly had an affair with Concubine Chen, and he even promised Concubine Chen that one day, if I ascend to the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, I will make you the queen.
If Concubine Chen was betrayed by him, he, the prince, would be in trouble.
"Who framed Concubine Chen and made slanderous remarks in front of my father!"
Xiao Kui gritted his teeth and said that he hated the person who informed him.
He didn't talk about his own affairs and even put himself in danger.
Wang Ren hesitated: "Back to Your Highness, it is said that Xiao Zhang, the eldest son of King Xiangdong, accidentally broke this matter."
Xiao Kui was furious for a moment: "This damn fool! I can't spare him!"
···
Ah sneeze!
Ah sneeze!
On the way back to the capital, Xiao Zhang sneezed one after another.
"Chi'er, are you okay? You don't have to catch a cold, right?"
Xiao Jiye put his hand on Xiao Zhang's forehead and asked.
Xiao Zhang wiped his nose with his hand: "No, it's just that my nose is itchy."
As he said this, he was still muttering in his mind.
Whoever scolds me secretly behind my back, don't let me catch you.
"If you catch a cold, just catch it. As long as this matter can be solved, it will be fine. Son, when you get back, daddy will have someone cook you a big meal to calm down your shock."
Xiao Zhang didn't say a word. He was hungry when he was in Xiao Shaoquan's tent.
Soon, the large army returned to the capital, and everyone returned home.
Xiao Jiye also fulfilled his promise and asked the chef in the palace to cook a feast for Xiao Zhang.
"Old man, don't tell me that this is the feast you carefully prepared for me?"
Looking at the boiled pork in front of him with just a little coarse salt for seasoning, Xiao Zhang felt like dying.
