Chapter 228 In the Imperial Garden, the hero saves the beauty!
..“ Ministers wish Your Majesty eternal peace and eternal years! ”
"Ministers wish Wei Gong - Fu Bi Sheji, merit!"
"Today's court meeting, the big gathering of civil and military, the old man has a few major events, which are related to the safety of the Han Society, and please ask Your Majesty to approve it immediately!"
"The ministers also played, and I also ask His Majesty the Emperor and the Prime Minister for permission!"
………………………………
Outside the Great Han Palace-Qilin Palace, thousands of elite Praetorian Guards, bows are wound, knives are unsheathed, five steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry, the guards are impenetrable, and the soldiers are even more ears pricked up to listen to the situation in the hall!
At today's court meeting, in order to establish a prince, return to the country, and elect a prince, the officials of the two major factions of loyalty to Han and support Cao launched a fierce debate.
Judging from the situation of the quarrel, the number of the 'loyal Han faction' is larger and the rhetoric is more astute, but the confidence is not as sufficient as the 'pro-Cao faction', which is not surprising, no matter which dynasty or generation, whoever holds the handle of the knife in his hand can decide the political direction!
Fortunately, the traitor is tyrannical and domineering, but he adheres to a political bottom line, that is, he does not kill people indiscriminately at the court meeting, and maintains the order of the Han court.
The Praetorian Guards were so concentrated and listened to the quarrel in the hall that they ignored a figure and slipped out of their gaps, perhaps the soldiers noticed, but did not stop it, because the figure was so small!
The little guy is less than three feet tall, wearing a super small court dress, holding a big gold seal in his arms, wandering around and playing in the imperial city, occasionally encountering someone to stop him, he reveals an innocent little face, and two deep dimples, it is the eldest prince of the Hou Mansion - Xiao Xuan!
There will be a fierce battle in this court, in order to avoid trouble, Xiao Yi hid in the house and pretended to be sick, and then let his son go to the court for himself, no matter how sharp the civil and military officials are, there is no way to take a young child, not to mention that his grandfather stands on the royal steps, and he can't allow his grandson to be bullied!
This method is also very envious of the officials, but no one dares to follow suit, one is that there is no such son who is as cute as a rabbit on the outside and as cunning as a fox on the inside, and the other is that he does not have the same status, the little guy dares to be unscrupulous, all because he is the son of Xiao Lang with a ghost face and the grandson of a traitor in troubled times!
But the little one was lively by nature, and after staying in the court for a while, he secretly ran out, wandered around the imperial city, explored the majestic palaces, and finally came to the imperial garden......
The garden is planted with tribute to the exotic flowers and plants, and in the season when a hundred flowers bloom, a gust of autumn wind blows, the petals fly all over the sky, and the fragrance is refreshing, as if you are in heaven......
There is a flower bed in the northeast corner, more than nine feet high, divided into three layers, autumn chrysanthemums are planted all over it, the golden petals are in full bloom, like a huge crown, more than a dozen children play in it, the big one is only seven or eight years old, and the small one is only three or four years old......
"Ministers, see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince-Chitose! Chitose! Chichitose! ”
"You Aiqing are exempt from courtesy, and you are alone today to be crowned the crown prince, and you should reward the civil and military forces and amnesty the world!"
……………………
A young boy sat on it, wearing an eight-treasure red gold crown, wearing an apricot yellow python robe, and a white jade belt tied around his waist, posing as an emperor in the court, looking at the sky with a small face...... It was Liu Feng, the eldest son of the Great Han Emperor, and next to him sat his younger brother, the four-year-old emperor's second son Liu Xi!
More than a dozen gorgeously dressed children, lined up and down the flower beds, made a kneeling posture of worship, the voice of a thousand years old is endless, their origins are also extraordinary, all of them are the descendants of the old ministers, and they entered the palace to accompany the two highnesses to study, including the grandson of the abbot - Fu Wan, and the young son of the middle doctor - Kong Rong!
It turned out that the matter of canonizing the crown prince had already been in an uproar, not only known inside and outside the government, but also introduced into the harem, Liu Feng was only six years old, it was the age when he liked to play, so he gathered a group of friends and opened the 'Prince's Mansion' in the garden! ’
The surrounding palace maids and eunuchs all wanted to climb the dragon and the phoenix, glory and wealth, but instead of stopping the play, they also knelt on the ground and saluted, shouting His Royal Highness the Prince's Chitose!
In the minds of these minions, Liu Feng is the eldest son of His Majesty, and he was born to Empress Fu, whether it is a successor or a long-term heir, he is the inevitable crown prince, and it is nothing to be happy in advance, but they have forgotten that if the throne of the Han Dynasty cannot be kept, what is the use of setting up a prince?
"Childish! Bored! --When the husband is crisscrossing the world, how can he be called a lonely widow in the garden, a group of stinking hairy children! ”
Xiao Xuan looked at it for a while, and didn't run over to participate in the game, but shook his head with a sigh, left with his little hands behind his back, and wandered alone in the garden!
Don't look at him less than four years old, but his mind is extremely precocious, this kind of little game of playing at home, after the age of two, he doesn't play anymore, usually sits in the study of the Hou Mansion, reciting poetry with Aunt Cai, or is held on horseback by his father, goes out of the city to inspect thousands of troops and horses, and also learns a few tricks of flower boxing and embroidered legs!
Mother also secretly told Xiao Xuan that when he was born, there was a vision in the sky, purple qi came from the east, and the clouds were in the shape of dragons and tigers, which was an indescribable sign.
"Brother Feng! Brother Hee! --Man'er came to play with you and brought delicious rose pastries! ”
"The daughter of the bold concubine, dare to call Gu's name, quickly pay tribute to the pastries, and the jade unicorn in your arms will also belong to Gu in the future!"
………………………………
In the middle of playing, a three-year-old girl with a pink carving came out of the sea of flowers, with a double bun on her head, wearing a green long-sleeved skirt embroidered with a hundred flower patterns, the skirt was decorated with small silver bells, and she was holding a jade unicorn in her arms, which was the princess of the day - Liu Man!
There were four palace maids behind him, carefully surrounding the left and right, for fear that Her Royal Highness the princess would fall, and they each carried a food box, in which there were fragrant pastries, which were made of rose petals to make cows, tigers, rabbits, and snakes...... A variety of animal shapes come to life!
Liu Man's mother is the noble concubine Cao Xian, and her grandfather is the prime minister Cao Cao, because of this special relationship, she was canonized as the princess of Changle at a young age, and she also has 500 households, but the other princes do not have this kind of treatment!
The little princess is innocent and kind, and often takes some delicious and fun food and distributes it to her brothers and sisters, as well as the attendants around her, but Liu Feng and Liu Xi, two brothers, don't like this half-sister, but often bully her, because her grandfather is Cao Cao, a traitor who overrides the imperial power of the Han Dynasty!
"Bring it! Bring! --All the pastries are handed over, and the jade unicorn pays tribute to His Royal Highness the Prince, and you also have to go over and kowtow! ”
"The jade unicorn was given by my aunt, and no one can give it to Man'er--wow!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the emperor in the future, the emperor should be rich all over the world, you have to give it if you don't want to give it!"
………………………………
Under the instruction of Liu Feng and Liu Xi, more than a dozen children rushed up, first snatched the pastries, devoured them like wolves, and then frantically snatched the jade unicorn, and dragged Liu Man's hair indiscriminately, the painful little princess cried, but she couldn't run out!
If it is something else, according to the little princess's kind temperament, it is nothing to let it out, but this white jade unicorn is a gift from her aunt on her third birthday, carved from a whole piece of jade, snow-white, without impurities, smooth lines, lifelike, warm in winter and cool in summer, it is a priceless treasure!
After the little princess got the jade unicorn, she played in her arms every day, and she didn't leave her body to eat and sleep, so she naturally refused to let it out, because the gifts she gave up before would be broken by her brothers within three days, and she deliberately threw it back and cried at her!
A little girl of more than three years old, how to fight more than a dozen big boys, the jade unicorn was quickly taken away, the little princess's hair was scratched, her dress was torn a few times, and the poor kneeling under the flower bed cried bitterly!
The four palace maids saw everything, but they didn't dare to step forward to stop them, these children were either phoenixes and dragon grandchildren, or dignitaries, that was what they provoked, two stayed to comfort the little princess, and two of them went to report the news!
The palace maids didn't dare to care, but some people dared to care, Xiao Xuan, who was walking in the garden, witnessed the whole process, and suddenly became angry, and also clenched a pair of small fists and rushed towards the flower bed......
The white jade unicorn Xiao Xuan knew that it was the spoils of his father's expedition to Xiliang, which exterminated the Qian people, and it is said to be the treasure of their town, among which the male is the unicorn, which is ink-colored, and it is placed in Xiao Xuan's study and has been used as a paperweight!
The female is Lin, and was given to the little cousin in the palace as a gift by her mother Cao Jie, and her mother also said that when the little cousin grew up, she would take Xiao Xuan into the palace to propose, marry back as a daughter-in-law, and come to a kiss!
What is marrying a daughter-in-law, four-year-old Xiao Xuan still doesn't know, he only knows that it is a great thing, and his father also taught that a man stands between heaven and earth, and he must protect his own woman and protect his country - whoever dares to come to offend, leave his head!
"Don't be afraid, good cousin, cousin is here to protect you, a group of shameless people dare to bully women, see how the master teaches you a lesson......"
Xiao Xuanfei ran over quickly, first helped the little princess up, wiped away the tears on her face, dusted off her body, and whispered a few words of comfort, and then glared at a group of princely children, and her little fists clenched baba - Brother is going to be a hero to save the beauty today!
