In the royal study, Xiao Yutang said: "The little prince from the Western Region came to beg me yesterday. I don't know who gave him the trick. Instead of giving him gold, silver and jewelry, he gave me a whole roasted camel."
Xiao Beichen looked away from the memorial, raised his eyelids and glanced at him.
"Isn't that what you want?"
Don't think he doesn't know that the little secret guard whom Xiao Yutang regards as his treasure likes to eat the most.
Even the gold, silver and jewelry given as gifts had to be exchanged for food by Xiao Yutang in the end, feeding his secret guard who seemed to have been hungry for eight lifetimes.
The effect of the roasted camel was outstanding. Just one night later, Xiao Yutang came to him to "beg for mercy".
Seeing that his thoughts had been read, Xiao Yutang coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment and said seriously: "The envoy from Qiuci has been in Beijing for more than half a month, and it's time for your majesty to meet him."
Xiao Beichen frowned slightly, picked up his ink pen and wrote a big "Go away" on the memorial that was full of flattery.
"It's only half a month, now you can't bear your temper? It seems that this Prince of Kucha is just like his King Kucha, both of them are useless."
Xiao Yutang smiled and said: "It would be better if it cannot be used for a long time, so as not to miss the great cause of our Majesty."
"But this little prince of Kucha is different from the king of Kucha. Your Majesty, you'd better meet him to save the beauty the anxiety of waiting."
King Qiuci has an unshaven face and a belly as big as a watermelon. How good-looking can his youngest son be?
Xiao Beichen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why, do you like it?"
"There is no princess in this dynasty. If you like the little prince, you can go to Kucha to marry me. This will save me the effort of attacking Kucha."
Xiao Yutang: Huh?
Why did it come to the matter of asking him to get married?
He anxiously wanted to step forward and cover Xiao Beichen's mouth, but Shi Xi was still standing outside.
Although Shixi looks like a piece of wood and doesn't hear anything outside the window and only cares about eating, in fact his ears are very good.
If he hears it, he will suspect that he is having trouble again.
Originally, his image in Shixi's mind was not very high. If he lost even this bit of trust, he might be "chaotic at first and abandoned at the end."
Xiao Yutang hurriedly defended, "Don't talk nonsense. When did I say that I liked that little prince from the Western Regions? I just got used to saying he was a beauty."
He has called dozens of beauties over the years, if not hundreds. They are all compliments based on facts, without any hint of intimacy.
Of course, this may not necessarily be the case in other people's eyes.
Xiao Beichen put down his ink pen, leaned back in his chair, and placed his hands clasped in front of his lower abdomen.
"Master Wang, a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Mr. Li, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Mr. Cai, the imperial censor, Marquis Yongbo, General Dingyuan..."
These names are all beauties that Xiao Yutang once "harassed" and came to his imperial study room to report Xiao Yutang's "imperial complaint".
Xiao Yutang blushed upon hearing this and actually stepped forward to cover Xiao Beichen's mouth.
"Xiao Jinnu, did you do this on purpose? You knew that I was forced to make such a move..."
Jinu was Xiao Beichen's nickname. The late emperor had few heirs, and his two previous sons died early. Only after he was over ten years old did he get a precious son like Xiao Beichen to inherit his throne.
Fearing that Xiao Beichen would not live long like his two royal brothers, he took the nickname "Jinnu", thinking that he was being fostered by an immortal, and asked the immortal to protect him and grow up healthily.
Xiao Beichen naturally knew that Xiao Yutang publicly publicized the fact that he was a "cut sleeve" in order to dispel the late emperor's doubts, so as to cut off the possibility of inheriting the throne.
After all, the late emperor took the throne too seriously, and he was even a little dazed when he died.
Xiao Beichen waved his hand to ward him off, and said with a smile: "What about Minister Li's son? He came to me to complain, saying that you touched his back mound at Juxian Manor."
This happened just this spring. Li Shilang's only son was only seventeen years old. He had just been admitted to the imperial examination and entered the Imperial Academy. He was a high-spirited and handsome young man.
As a result, when I was drinking and celebrating with my friends at Juxian Village, I happened to bump into Xiao Yutang who was taking Shixi to dinner.
When Xiao Li Hanlin saw him, the wine he drank turned into cold sweat and overflowed.
He immediately thought of the "terrifying" rumors about Xiao Yutang. He had even heard that this short-sleeved prince had harassed his father before.
He was so frightened that he turned around and ran away on the spot.
It's no wonder that little Li Hanlin was afraid. In fact, he looked very much like his father, and he was quite handsome.
He turned around and ran too hastily, and because he was drunk and unsteady on his feet, he stepped on his own robe and rushed forward.
Seeing that he was about to break his front teeth, Xiao Yutang took a step forward and pulled him back by his belt.
He was obviously trying to save someone, but when did he touch his posterior?
Only then did Xiao Yutang find out that this happened. He looked shocked and swore, "I have never done anything like this."
He has always been a talkative, but his behavior is very polite. He only touches Shixi's back mound.
Xiao Beichen sneered, "Of course I know, otherwise how could I suppress so many troubles for you."
Xiao Yutang was stunned, "Then you just..." Why did you even list the objects of his "harassment" in detail?
A playful smile appeared on Xiao Beichen's lips, and he changed the topic and said: "Now that the late emperor has passed away, you no longer need to bear the title of Prince Duanxiu. It's time to marry a princess and spread the branches of the Dayong royal family. Leaves."
Xiao Yutang frowned slightly and was about to tell him that he was really cut off now. If he married the princess, it could only be Shixi and not anyone else.
At this time, Li Fuhai came in and announced, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister on the left and the Prime Minister on the right would like to see you."
Today is a holiday, and Qi Yin Fengli and Wang Fuyuan have never dealt with each other very well, so why did they come together?
Xiao Beichen announced his meeting, and the two prime ministers walked in together.
Yin Fengli is in his sixties this year. Although he is getting older, he still has a straight body and good energy. He just has a cold face and a deep cut between his eyebrows. At first glance, he looks serious.
Slightly half a step behind him was Wang Fuyuan, the famous Right Chancellor and one of the royal family's Western Grand Masters.
His appearance seems a bit unworthy of his fame. He is not ugly but rather ordinary. He has a short beard on his lips, is elegant and easy-going, and has a refined look. He seems to be quite easy to talk to.
The two of them saluted, and Xiao Beichen said: "I have a rest today. My two beloved ladies are not resting at home. Why are you here so early in the morning?"
Yin Fengli frowned and said, "I heard that Your Majesty summoned his concubine to sleep with you last night?"
His Majesty promised him to give those handsome men to Xiao Yutang during the morning court yesterday, but in the evening he summoned the male concubines to sleep with him.
It’s really cool that the child has learned to lie to the teacher now that he’s grown up.
Yin Fengli glanced at Xiao Yutang. His Royal Highness Prince Gong must have misled His Majesty. He had to find a way to drive this person to the fiefdom to avoid contaminating His Majesty again.
