When Xiao Hou appeared in front of Xiao Xu's palace, Xiang Yu, who was a close guard, greeted him, "Your Highness Prince Yi, my Highness is already waiting for you inside, please come here."
Xiao Hou covered his lips with a handkerchief and coughed lightly, not bothering to answer, he could only nod his head to show his understanding.
When Xiao Hou was walking in front, Xiang Yu looked at his back and didn't understand, how could this third prince, who has always stayed out of the gate, suddenly sent someone to send a message today, saying that he was coming to visit the master
Although he can't figure it out, Xiang Yu still abides by his duties.
As soon as Xiao Hou entered the inner hall, he saw Xiao Ran who was pacing anxiously inside. He couldn't help but curl his lips. It seemed that Xiao Ran was very upset about this matter, and he had already become a trapped beast, which just allowed him to make good use of it. .
Hearing the sound at this moment, Xiao Ran turned around immediately, and when he saw his three emperor brothers, Xiao Ran immediately greeted him, "Three emperor brothers, you are here, I heard that you were unwell and didn't attend the palace banquet a few days ago, I was just about to go. Visiting you, are you feeling better now?"
On weekdays, Xiao Ran would occasionally go to Prince Yi's Mansion, but because the imperial doctor said that the three emperors were sick in good and bad times and needed to rest, so he didn't stay for a stick of incense each time.
Xiao Hou smiled and said, "It's much better. During this time, the imperial doctor found a lot of good medicinal herbs. After I took it, I felt better than before, so I heard that you have been unwell these days, so I wanted to see you. ."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran's expression became slightly astringent. What was wrong with him? It was because his mother kept him from leaving the palace and banned him, but how could he mention this to the third brother, it was too embarrassing.
Xiao Hou could see what he was thinking, and after coughing a few times, he asked, "I saw you frowning as soon as I entered the door, do you have something on your mind?"
"I—" Xiao Ran just opened his mouth, pursed his lips again, turned his head to the side, and sighed, "Brother Sanhuang, I'm fine, it's just that I've been bored these past few days."
Xiao Hou smiled and said with a gentle expression, "Fourth brother, what do you have in mind to tell the third brother, the third brother has not lived for a few years, and if he can do anything for your brothers, I will take advantage of these days. At the time, otherwise I will leave in the future, and I will have regrets in my heart.”
Xiao Ran's eyes heated up when he heard it, "Brother Sanhuang, what are you talking about, you are so young and so good, you will definitely live a hundred years!"
Looking at the fourth brother who was not deeply involved in the world in front of him, Xiao Hou shook his head in his heart. With just this ability, he was not qualified to be his opponent at all, he was still too tender.
He shook his head and smiled, "I know my own body, you don't need to comfort me."
Xiao Ran listened to this, and his heart was very sour. He couldn't bear to hide it from him, so he poured out his distress these days to him.
In fact, he had been holding it in his heart for too long, and he wanted to find someone to talk to, but he was surrounded by either the father-in-law or the palace maid, none of whom he could trust, and because of his identity and the interference of his mother and concubine in making friends, he still did not have a sincere heart. His friend, Xiao Hou's appearance now is like a straw stretched out to him who is about to drown.
"Brother Three Emperors, you may not believe it or be shocked when you say it, but it's all true. I have a crush on a girl, but my mother-in-law is very opposed to it."
Xiao Hou couldn't help but smile, "What's so shocking about this, at your age, it's normal to like a girl's family, if your mother-in-law is against it, it means that her status is not worthy of you, and the position of Zhengfei is not good. , but you can take her into the palace and give her the status of a concubine."
Xiao Ran smiled bitterly, "If that's the case, then it's simple, but her identity is a bit special."
Although Xiao Hou already knew who it was, he still showed a curious look, "Which daughter of gold is that in Kyoto?"
Xiao Ran gathered up his courage and poured out his secrets, "She is not from a wealthy family, but she has already been married. You know this person, he is the first emperor."
Xiao Hou expressed his shock cooperatively, "It's actually Miss Chu, fourth brother, aren't you joking?"
Xiao Ran smiled wryly again, "I knew you would say so if you say it, but how could I take this kind of thing as a joke, Brother Sanhuang, what do you think I should do? It's one thing if the mother-in-law doesn't agree. There is also an imperial decree given by her father in person!"
"Do you really like that girl Chu?" Xiao Hou asked.
Xiao Ran nodded earnestly, "I met her for half a year, and I miss her for four years. I want her to stay where I can see her all the time."
Xiao Hou was a little surprised in his heart. He didn't expect that this fourth brother would not be enlightened on weekdays.
"I don't have any good ideas about you, but I have a suggestion, but you can't do this alone, you have to have Miss Chu's intentions for you."
Xiao Ran's eyes lit up, "I think Qingyan is so different from the eldest brother, Qingyan is very active, the eldest brother is so quiet, there must be no topics between the two, and I know that when the imperial decree is issued , the first emperor was completely ignorant at the beginning. I know the first emperor. He never likes others to force him to do things. He is responsible for Qingyan, but he has no feelings, so I don't want to see Qingyan unhappy for a lifetime. , I don't want Big Brother to force myself."
Xiao Hou twitched the corners of his eyes. Sure enough, love is blind and can make a person lose his normal judgment.
As far as he knows, Xiao Xu's weakness at this time is nothing but his most cherished fiancee.
But it is precisely because of this that he can use Xiao Ran's chess well.
"Fourth brother, if it's as you said, then for the two of them, separation is the best."
Xiao Ran seemed to be affirmed, with a smile on his face, "Does the Third Emperor feel the same way?"
Xiao Hou nodded.
"What was the suggestion that the third emperor just said?" he asked impatiently.
"Actually, you just said that there are obstacles to the concubine Yue and the marriage. I don't think these are the most important. The most important thing is that you and Miss Chu have the same heart. As long as you can persuade Miss Chu, let Miss Chu take the initiative to follow the emperor. Brother said this, according to the temperament that the eldest brother loves you so much on weekdays, he will take the initiative to ask the father to break the engagement."
Xiao Hou followed suit.
"Is this ok? Qingyan doesn't seem to know my intentions yet." Xiao Ran touched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
Xiao Hou hooked his lips, "This is all up to your own efforts. If you can win Miss Chu's heart, then nothing will be a problem."
Xiao Ran nodded heavily, stretched out his hand to hold his hand, and said gratefully, "Brother Sanhuang, thanks to you, otherwise I don't know what to do? I keep myself locked in the hall all day long, spinning around like a headless fly. If everything goes well, I will definitely thank you in the future."
Xiao Hou smiled lovingly, "Between us brothers, do we still need to be so polite?"
Xiao Ran smirked.
When leaving the palace, Xiao Hou looked at the high wall, shook his head and sneered, "If Jiangshan is handed over to this idiot, then the country will really die!"
