Chapter 11 Coveted

Xiao Yu returned to Chengxiyuan and took out the rice paper he had stuffed to her when he said goodbye to Zhao Hong.

He has practiced the words he has been practicing these days, saying that he must show her. A four-year-old child is not holding his pen firmly, so how can he write any good-looking words? She spread out and saw that there were crooked big characters on it, and he wrote his own name and hers. It was written by her when she was in Fengzao Palace, and he pestered her to teach him how to write, but he didn't expect that he still remembered it.

Then... Xiao Yu paused slightly while stroking the paper's fingertips.

The last line is the name of King Qi Zhao Xuan.

Of course, it could not have been taught by the gentleman from Prince An's mansion.

If Xiao Yu had some doubts when he first met King Qi today, then when he saw King Qi could carefully teach a child to write, the only doubts left in her heart were all relieved. This is the sorrow of the royal children. If Zhao Hong was still an emperor, she would definitely not let King Qi get too close to him, thinking that he had ulterior motives, but now Zhao Hong is no longer an emperor, but on the contrary, he is an orphan of the previous dynasty that everyone avoids. With King Qi taking care of him so carefully, she would be very relieved.

It was cold at night. On the way back, although there was a warm stove on his hands, it was not very hot when he arrived at the Duke of Huguo Mansion. Xiao Yu's body was a little cold, so Madam Yuan brought ginger tea to her, afraid that she would catch a cold.

After Xiao Yu drank ginger tea, Chunxiao came in and reported: "Girl, the Duke of the State is here."

"Father." Xiao Yu was a little surprised.

It was getting late, why did my father come? When she left the table just now, she left with her mother and her family, and her father was still talking to the ministers. Now she should have just come back and came to her side.

Xiao Yu stood up and wanted to go out to greet him, but Xiao Huai's figure walked in.

Xiao Yu smiled and called out to his father. Xiao Huai looked up and saw a warm yellow candlelight falling on her face next to the lantern of the sheep horn. Her skin was better than snow and her eyebrows were bright. She was his most precious little daughter.

He responded, walked over, picked up the rice paper on the table, and looked at the childish words on it, with no expression on his face.

Xiao Yu knew that his father had always been majestic, and everyone in the whole house was afraid of him. The second and third uncles respected him, but he rarely had a stern face to himself. Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Today, my daughter came into the palace and met King An. He said that he had been practicing calligraphy these days, so he shouted to show it to me."

"... Although he is not well written, he is still young and is already pretty good."

Xiao Yu said, but saw that his father had no reaction and asked, "What trouble did my father encounter? But that new emperor..."

"Yinian." Xiao Huai called her softly.

Xiao Yu responded and looked at him. She had never seen such a father before. She seemed to have encountered a very difficult thing and had something to do with her. But... when she came back that day, she still remembered what her father said to her. Even if her relationship affected the Xiao family, her father would face it calmly. That was not the case, but...

Is there anything more serious than this? Xiao Yu couldn't imagine.

Xiao Huai looked at his daughter in front of him and did not know how to speak. He asked, "Tell me about it with my father, what are your plans in the future?"

What did she do? But Xiao Yu still answered seriously: "My daughter thinks it would be great to stay here like this and be with her father, mother, brother and sister-in-law. Others..." Women always want to get married, even if she doesn't care, her father will definitely not watch her be a little widow.

So he continued, "It's okay to talk about marriage in two years, my daughter has no plans yet."

Seeing his daughter talking about her marriage so openly, Xiao Huai nodded with relief.

If he had heard these words before today, he felt comforted. His daughter could enjoy the glory and wealth, and also withstand great ups and downs. She was his daughter of Xiao Huai. But now... Xiao Huai thought of the young emperor, and he knew a little about him after spending these days. He was bound to win the daughter of the Xiao family.

Xiao Huai pulled her to sit beside him and said, "You haven't talked to your father yet for half a month since you ran away, but have you suffered a lot of grievances?"

Indeed, for Xiao Yu, the half-month life she hiked in Tibet and slept in the wind and in the open was the most miserable thing she had in the past ten years.

Xiao Yu said slowly: "Well, it's all because my daughter learned too little. When it was critical, she didn't use anything. She also brought a small person around her and almost starved to death..." The days when she lived like the New Year before were nothing, but she was a little relaxed and interesting. "At that time, my daughter wanted to come back, but I couldn't come back at that time."

After talking for a while, Xiao Yu looked at his father's expression and asked in a low voice: "Father, do you have anything to say to me?"

Xiao Huai said, "It's nothing. I just think of your mother, I want to come and see you." Then he said, "It's getting late, so you go to bed first, and my father will go back first."

In this way, Xiao Yu naturally didn't ask much.

Xiao Huai came out of Chengxi Courtyard and walked towards Luo along the winding corridor. A servant in front of him was carrying a lantern for him, hollowed-carved iron lanterns. The cold wind whistled at night, and the flames inside were light and dark. Xiao Huai's body was tall and straight, like pine and bamboo.

When he entered the house, Luo came up to meet him.

She is a virtuous wife. No matter how late Xiao Huai comes back, she is always waiting for him. She does embroidery work under the lamp, and she will not sleep first even if she is sleepy. Although Xiao Huai is a general, she is not sympathetic at all. But if you tell her to go to bed first, she always can't listen. Sometimes Xiao Huai can't do anything to her. Looking at the gentle and gentle person, he is quite stubborn.

After several years of marriage, Luo could see at a glance that something was wrong with Xiao Huai.

After she served him to wash and take a shower, she raised her hand to wear his bedding clothes and tied up her belt. She looked at the broad and slender figure of the man in front of her and asked, "Dude, has something happened in the court?"

No... Even if the Wei Dynasty was destroyed, the Duke of the State had never shown such an expression. Luo thought about it and soon thought of it.

She suddenly looked up at him, "But every year she..."

Although Luo is not as good as Xiao Qizhou and Xiao Yu's mother Gu and him are young couples, and have deep feelings, they are as meticulous as dust and know him very well. Xiao Huai knows that she treats her daughter as her own, and does not intend to hide it from her, and said, "Today, I and the emperor are in the Bifu Pavilion in the Imperial Garden, and then the five girls are also passing by..."

This Luo knew that although it was not in line with etiquette, the new emperor did a lot of things that were not in line with etiquette, and it was not bad. Moreover, the third brother and sister Liu looked very happy. Luo asked softly: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Huai said lightly: "The one Xue Thief wants to marry is not the fifth girl..."

After pausing, he looked cold and chuckled, and continued, "What he coveted is Niannian."

...

There was a faint incense in the warm tent. Xiao Yu was pillowing on the incense pillow, but he thought about his father's strange expression today. She felt a little uneasy, and always felt that something was about to happen, but she knew nothing.

Xiao Yu was not sleeping peacefully that night. Fortunately, she didn't have to get up early to pay her respects to her mother, and it didn't matter if she got up late.

After breakfast, Xiao Yu was about to go to see his sister-in-law Tang, but before she was ready to go out, Xiao Yuzhi came over.

When Chun Ming heard the words "Five Girls", he muttered to Xiao Yu in dissatisfaction: "I haven't become the queen yet, I just like to show off. If I become the queen, I don't know what would happen?" Her girl has also been the queen and never showed off like this at the beginning. These five girls are too ostentatious.

Although Xiao Yu didn't want to see Xiao Yuzhi, it was not bad to fight with Xiao Yuzhi when he was bored. If you have something to do, who would want to talk to her?

Seeing Xiao Yuzhi come in wearing a peach-red coat dress, her face was full of spring, and she was not as cold as she was when she met the new emperor yesterday. She came over and said with a smile: "I can finally rest today, so I thought about coming to Sister Liu. Where is Sister Liu going? Am I disturbing you?"

Xiao Yu wore a plain brocade jacket, which was quite ordinary compared to her unmarried gorgeous clothes. Xiao Yuzhi felt that she was dressed simply because she was tactful and did not steal her limelight. It was just because of yesterday that Xiao Yuzhi had always had a bit of a grudge in her heart, so she subconsciously looked at Xiao Yu's waist.

Yangyu had a slender waist and a grip. Although Xiao Yu was young, he was already in the hairpin. His chest was bulging, quite upright, and his lines were smooth and beautiful. Even Xiao Yuzhi was not convinced and had to admit that Xiao Yu was good in appearance.

If that imperial palace outfit, if it were worn on Xiao Yu's body, then his waist should be just right?

What does she want to do this!

Xiao Yuzhi's face slightly darkened, and she felt a little unhappy.

Xiao Yu said truthfully: "Now my sister-in-law is pregnant, my brother asked me to go there for more time with her. Is there anything wrong with my fifth sister asking me for me?" If there is nothing, don't pull her and pull some of the things that are not there.

Xiao Yuzhi knew that Tang was pregnant. After all, she was her cousin's sister-in-law, so Xiao Yuzhi was going to take a look with Xiao Yu.

Before he could reach the door, a maid from Xiaoyuyuan hurried in. The little maid had never seen any world before. When she encountered something slightly bigger, she was in a hurry and ran too fast, and almost bumped into Xiao Yuzhi who was out.

Fortunately, the maid beside Xiao Yuzhi gently supported her.

Seeing that the maid was reckless and rude, Xiao Yuzhi was about to scold her, but when she heard the little maid say hurriedly: "Girl, the emperor... the emperor sent someone to give her something, and Eunuch He came here in person."

He Chaoen. He was the closest eunuchs around the emperor. Everyone in the court wanted to sell his face.

The rewards in the previous few times were all ordinary leaders and eunuchs in the palace. Why did He Chaoen come in person today?

Thinking of yesterday's incident, Xiao Yuzhi's eyes lit up and her face was full of joy. She felt that the emperor must have owed her, so she sent He Chaoen over.

At this moment, no longer pursued the little maid's collision. She curled her lips and smiled, but felt that she was too unreserved. She pressed the corner of her lips and said with a smile: "It's not the first time I've given me, what's there to make a fuss about?"

"No..." the little maid said weakly.

Then he looked at Xiao Yu behind Xiao Yuzhi and said, "Those imperial gifts have been sent to our Chengxi Courtyard!"
