In the next few days, Xiao Rui was recovering from his injuries in the mansion, and the capital was calm and lively again.
Xu Xianyang was ill at home. Emperor Xia did not act on Xu Xianyang as Xiao Rui thought. It seems that just as Jia Xu said, the mind of Xia Huang is beyond ordinary people's guess.
Then the day after, it was the birthday of Emperor Xia.
Birthday gift is a science, especially when the prince celebrates birthday to the emperor. The gift given is light, and people laughed at it. I really think that it is a good thing to give a light courtesy. It is a compliment for fear that you are too embarrassed, and the gift given is heavy, and others are jealous.
But now Xiao Rui is more embarrassed.
In the past, Xiao Rui was the most unwelcome among the princes. It is optional. On the birthday of last year, Xiao Rui only gave a good brush wash. Feel free to.
So Xiao Rui asked Jia Xu for advice.
Knowing Xiao Rui's difficulties, Jia Xu suddenly smiled: "His Royal Highness, this birthday may be the last filial piety test before all the princes compete for the position of prince. It is also an opportunity to show that Emperor Xia will face all the princes. This is an opportunity for positioning, so His Royal Highness must also seize it. However, in the next view, this gift does not have to be a valuable foreign object, but a filial piety."
"Send filial piety? Is it possible to stew Golden Dragon Koi Fish Soup again?" Xiao Rui smiled.
Jia Xu also smiled: "His Royal Highness really wants to be like this. It is estimated that Emperor Xia will drive His Highness out of the hall!"
Xiao Rui laughed, not to mention that his father could do such a thing.
"What is the filial piety that the gentleman is referring to?" Xiao Rui asked.
Jia Xu said leisurely: "Your Majesty thinks, who should be most grateful for a person's birthday banquet?"
Xiao Rui heard it, her expression moved: "It's mother!"
Jia Xu nodded and said, "Yes, it is our mother. The mother is not celebrating her birthday, and the father is not growing her beard. Today, Emperor Xia is a filial person, but her mother has never enjoyed the glory of her son, although Being pursued as the queen of filial piety, but there must be regret in the heart of Emperor Xia."
The real name of Emperor Xia was Xiao Ying. He was born very humble. He was born to a court lady of Emperor Xiaowen Linxing. At that time, the queen of the harem had the authority, especially the lady who was pregnant with a dragon's birth, and would basically be killed. Therefore, after Empress Xiao Shengxian discovered that she was pregnant, she knew that the palace could not stay for long, so she tried every means to hide the fact of pregnancy. Only a close court lady and tnext to Emperor Xiaowen knew about it.
Later, with the help of the court lady, the queen filial piety escaped from the harem with suspended animation, and she never gave birth to Emperor Xia. Orphans and widows, you can imagine how poor it is. When Xia Huang was fifteen years old, he and his mother came to the capital to make a living in poverty. One day, he happened to meet the Emperor Xiaowen, and he told Emperor Xiaowen, and Emperor Xiaowen knew that he had a cheap son.
Xiaoying enters the palace and meets Emperor Xiaowen. The skeptical Emperor Xiaowen sees Xiao Ying's face and believes it. The two were carved out of the same mold, and because of this, Emperor Xiaowen directly gave Emperor Xia to be King Ying and allowed to open the mansion.
The queen of filial piety, the sage queen, worked too long to get sick and could not enter the palace. When Emperor Xia was twenty-five years old, she died.
also started from the age of twenty-five, when the Emperor Xiao Ying rose up and began to compete with the eighteen princes for the supreme position!
So Jia Xu admires Emperor Xia very much. He can sit on the throne, and he can be said to be a river of blood through thorns and thorns.
Jia Xu continued: "So I think, if someone can draw a portrait of the queen of filial piety, and solve the suffering of Emperor Xia's mother, this filial piety is the most precious."
Xiao Rui nodded, embarrassed: "Grandma Huang passed away early in the past, so there is no portrait left. Now nearly 30 years have passed. I believe that my father's memory is blurred. Who else can remember the honor of Grandma Huang? ?"
Jia Xu smiled and said, "I have been idle for the past few days. I have studied the past of Emperor Xia. The queen filial piety was able to escape from the harem, thanks to the help of the maid who was close to her. And I found out that the maid had come out. The Queen of the Palace married a family named Zhang, and his son is the current Zhongyonghou, Zhang Jinfu!"
"Huh?" Xiao Rui looked surprised.
Jia Xu nodded and said: "Why can Hou Zhongyong stay in the capital to lead the patrol camp and guard the capital, it is because of this relationship that he can become the most trusted person in Xia. I believe that the mother of Hou Zhongyong should still remember filial piety. The face of the sage queen. You can try it. If it doesn't work, your Royal Highness will change another birthday gift."
"Okay! I'll go now!" Xiao Rui asked Gao Quan to prepare his car and head to the Zhongyong Hou's Mansion.
When talking about the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, Xiao Rui naturally thought of Zhang Ruoxi. After all, she was a woman who had been on a blind date, and she felt good. Now that I learned about the relationship between Zhang Jinfu and Xia Huang, I feel better. If you can marry such a good helper, it will benefit you without any harm!
Do you want to consider betraying your body?
I am for the great responsibility of my system!
It's not because I'm coveting female sex!
Okay, Xiao Rui has such a small meaning, hehe.
"His Royal Highness, Zhongyonghou is here!" Gao Quan stopped suddenly, interrupting Xiao Rui's fancy thinking.
quickly wiped his saliva, Xiao Rui got up and got out of the car.
Gao Quan went to knock on the door. The door officer learned that His Royal Highness Seven was visiting, so he hurriedly opened the door and asked the servants to inform the wife and the young master.
Zhongyonghou is not in the house, so he goes to the patrol camp to work.
Zhang Lianchuan Wen Xun rushed over, bluffing: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!"
Xiao Rui, who was raising his foot to enter the door, retracted his feet in fright. Although he thought about it for a while, he was actually treated as a son-in-law, but his heart was abrupt. There was no babble, so don't bark!
How shy.
"Master Xiaohou, didn't you go to training today?" Xiao Rui asked.
As a general, Zhang Lianchuan's schoolwork mostly focused on "wu", strategy of warfare, martial arts, riding and shooting, and so on.
"I want to rest today." After Zhang Lianchuan finished speaking, he looked behind Xiao Rui with a look of regret.
"What are you looking for?" Xiao Rui asked.
"Gift!" Zhang Lianchuan cried, "I thought you came to propose a marriage, but it doesn't seem to be the case."
Xiao Rui rolled his eyes, how much he wanted to marry his elder sister . Being a younger brother, they were all heartbroken, and the torture suffered by him was ten or twenty times as much as those of the dudes in the capital.
Suddenly at this moment, Xiao Rui felt that it was a blessing to marry a gentle, virtuous and well-behaved daughter-in-law. It didn't matter whether she was beautiful or not. As long as he could not fight, stand by your bed with a knife at night, and be obsessed when you wake up. Just get out of the scared three souls.
Thinking about it this way, Xiao Rui felt that she was not worthy of Zhang Ruoxi.
"Master Xiaohou, your sister and I are innocent, don't scream, slander your sister, and be careful to make her angry!" Xiao Ruiyi said righteously: "Take the real martial arts learned twice on you."
Zhang Lianchuan shuddered, and immediately bowed his hands respectfully: "His Royal Highness, Lianchuan sees you!"
Xiao Rui smiled, and sure enough, this is the poor child accused by the sister.
While talking, Zhang Jinfu's wife came from the backyard.
"His Royal Highness is coming, there is a long way to go! Lian Chuan, do not invite His Highness to rest in the hall, Your Highness is still injured." Zhang smiled.
"Oh oh!" Zhang Lianchuan reacted.
Xiao Rui arched his hands and said, "Junior Xiao Rui, see my aunt!"
Zhang's was taken aback, smiled even more, and hurriedly shouted: "Zhe Sha, me, hurry up. Your Royal Highness is here today, but is it the one who is looking for Ruoxi?"
Is this the mother-in-law who urges her daughter to get married?
Poor Zhang Ruoxi, what kind of family does he live in?
"This time the harassment, I'm here to even Mrs. Zhang!" Xiao Rui explained his intentions.
Zhang's was taken aback, and said in surprise: "Come to see my old lady?"
"Yes!" Xiao Rui confirmed.
The Zhang clan was a little puzzled, but he still invited Xiao Rui to the back house.
At this time in the back house, Zhang Ruoxi is chatting with her grandma.
