"His Royal Highness, please stay."
Lu Heng was about to go to the front room to call Xia Jiming back to the Prince's Mansion, but heard someone calling him from behind.
Turning around, Lu Heng saw a young girl in a maid's costume approaching him.
The maid blessed her body, and then said, "You finally came out. The queen mother wanted to see you and ordered me to wait here early in the morning. I just left for a while because of something, but luckily I came back in time, otherwise I would have missed it. "
It seems that the affirmative action movement is indeed vigorous in the palace, and these maids are not at all as restrained and polite as they were ten years ago. The maid spoke very fast, her expression was playful and cute, and she patted her chest with lingering fears when she said she missed it.
"If you miss it, you can call me back." Lu Heng couldn't help but laugh.
"Yes," the maid suddenly realized, but suddenly came back to her senses, "No, I don't have your contact number at all. Fortunately, I came back in time."
Is this stupid maid actually the Queen Mother's personal maid? Lu Heng laughed softly. Originally, he had delicate facial features and picturesque eyebrows. When he smiled, the uncomfortable arrogance in his demeanor disappeared instantly. The whole person shone in an instant, making people unable to take their eyes off.
The maid was originally the age of Mu Se Huaichun, and she was stunned at the time. She only felt that the legendary prince who was domineering, arrogant and rude in front of him looked 10,000 times better than the little fresh meat known as the first face of China. .
For his face, I can forgive everything, as long as His Royal Highness gives me a smile. The upright Yan control maid couldn't help crying in her heart.
Lu Heng only felt a sour smell of pink bubbles coming from the maid in front of him. Before he could figure out what was going on, he heard Xia Jiming's voice behind him.
"Master Ah Heng, what's wrong?"
The place where they were standing was not too far from the ear room. Naturally, Xia Jiming came out after hearing the voice of Lu Heng and a strange woman talking.
Lu Heng turned his head and saw Xia Jiming came out with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth. His expression was respectful and courteous. Even the most critical etiquette trainer couldn't pick out a single fault in him.
But Lu Heng knew that this person was in a bad mood.
If the emotions he felt could actually become a picture, Xia Jiming would definitely be surging with black energy as thick as ink. Old man, old man, Lu Heng still knows this person's nature, but it's just because of jealousy. He also couldn't understand it. On weekdays, this person was respectful to himself, unless he was in the shape of a cat, and he never crossed the line.
Lu Heng almost thought that Xia Jiming really served himself as a simple master, but now this situation has made him dispel this idea.
This terrible jealousy can't be a simple master-servant relationship.
"The queen mother called me over to ask questions." Lu Heng explained the maid's intention in a few words, "You also come with me."
"Okay." The gloomy look in Xia Jiming's eyes eased slightly.
Lu Heng took Xia Jiming, followed behind the maid, and rode the shuttle hovering car in the palace, and soon arrived at the Changle Palace where the Queen Mother Huining lived.
After placing Xia Jiming in the side room and waiting, the maid led Lu Heng all the way into the warm pavilion of the main hall.
Different from the relationship with Emperor Zhaoming, the original owner has been very close to the Queen Mother Huining since childhood. In Lu Heng's memory, every time the Queen Mother Huining entertained the little prince in the warm pavilion. According to the tradition of the Huaxia Dynasty, the warm house of noble women is a very private place. Generally, only children who have a good relationship with handkerchiefs or children who are connected by blood can enter her warm house.
The Empress Dowager Huining can be regarded as the most honorable woman in the Huaxia Dynasty. The fact that Xia Lingheng can get such treatment as the Empress Dowager shows how much the Empress Dowager likes this prince. Especially after the wedding of Emperor Zhaoming, the Queen Mother Huining lived in seclusion in Changle Palace, ignoring world affairs. Except for Emperor Zhaoming and the Empress, she has not seen outsiders for a long time, and only shows up at the annual Spring Festival family banquet.
On the soft collapse of the warm pavilion, sat a dignified and gorgeous woman. She was wearing simple regular clothes, but she could tell from the texture that it was made of the so-called "one-inch gold" brocade.
This beautiful woman is naturally the most honorable woman in the Huaxia Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Huining.
The Queen Mother Huining is over forty years old, but it is said that she awakened the atavistic gene chain. Therefore, she still looks like a woman in her twenties, her skin is smooth and fair, and there is no trace of lines carved by time.
"Xiaoheng, come and sit beside me."
The self-proclaimed Queen Mother Huining once again showed her love for Lu Heng.
There was pure joy from the Empress Dowager Huining. From her, Lu Heng only felt kindness. Compared with Prince Rong, he had the attitude of being close to the younger generation who had not seen each other for a long time.
"The Queen Mother." Lu Heng still gave a salute, although it was not too grand, it was quite respectful.
The Queen Mother Hui Ning smiled: "You child, I haven't seen you for many years, and you are estranged from Auntie. You have never been rude before."
"I'm not a child anymore," Lu Heng curled his lips. "Before entering the palace, my father, Wang Er, told me that I couldn't act recklessly as I did when I was a child."
The Queen Mother Hui Ning covered her lips and smiled: "This Xia Zefang is always so old-fashioned, what age is it, and he still lives like the age of the earth."
"Yeah," Lu Heng followed the Queen Mother Huining's gesture and came to her side, "Auntie, you don't know, I just want to enter the elite class of Guozi School. I mentioned it to His Majesty in the imperial study just now. Father, he almost It's useless to poke me to death, I look at him, it's been ten years since I haven't seen him, and my heart is biased towards that Xia Lingyu."
"What nonsense," Empress Dowager Hui Ning poked Lu Heng's forehead with her index finger, "Does your identity need to be compared with those who can't be on the table?"
There was a look of disgust on her face: "Zhou Shi looked like a good man back then, and turned his head and climbed onto Xia Zefang's bed when she seemed pregnant. Now Xia Lingyu, who has been taught, is also a person who can't recognize her own identity. of."
Empress Dowager Huining and Lu Heng's mother were handkerchiefs who grew up together, and they were as close as sisters. At the beginning, because of Zhou's affairs, she also scolded Prince Rong bloody, and even if she saw him now, she still raised her eyebrows. For Zhou Shi and Xia Lingyu, naturally, they have never had a good impression.
In the warm pavilion, Lu Heng recounted his experience in the past ten years with the Queen Mother Huining in detail.
"Xiaoheng, call that Xia Jiming in and let me meet." Queen Mother Huining said.
"What do you see him doing?"
"How much skill do you have, I still don't know. You can escape from the waste star, and most of it must be the credit of Xia Jiming. Of course, I want to express my gratitude to him." He waved his hand and ordered the maid to bring Xia Jiming in.
Lu Heng's mother died young, and the Queen Mother Hui Ning, who was a sister to her, almost regarded Lu Heng as her own child. What she is doing at the moment is more like what a blood relative should do than Prince Rong.
"Isn't it enough to give him the distinguished Xia surname?" Lu Heng pouted.
"You bastard, the art of the emperor is not so simple. The human heart is the most unpredictable, you are an adult, it is time to learn more about these things. We nobles can have no other skills, the art of the emperor, but You can't stop learning, understand?" The Queen Mother Hui Ning tapped Lu Heng's forehead again.
"Let's go, go to the outside world." The Queen Mother Hui Ning got up. For a person of Xia Jiming's identity, she naturally would not summon him in the Warm Pavilion.
After a while.
"See the Queen Mother." Xia Jiming bowed and saluted.
The Queen Mother Hui Ning looked up and down the handsome young man standing at the bottom, and nodded with satisfaction after a while: "Sit down."
"In the past ten years of the waste star, Xiaoheng has taken care of you thanks to you." The Queen Mother Hui Ning waved her hand and asked the maid to pour tea for Xia Jiming, and then said with a smile.
"It's an honor to be here."
"Xiaoheng, this child, has been spoiled by his family since he was a child, and he has not considered many aspects. Now this palace solemnly asks you, you are willing to become Xiaoheng's personal servant." The Queen Mother Hui Ning pressed down with one hand. Lu Heng beside him, motioned him not to speak.
"Back to the Queen Mother, yes."
"In front of this palace, you don't have to worry too much. You brought Xiaoheng back from the waste star. Even a change of title is enough for this kind of credit." The Queen Mother Huining looked at Xia Jiming's face intently. His expression changed, and he didn't miss the slightest bit.
Xia Jiming raised his head and met the Queen Mother Huining's eyes: "I came to the Imperial Capital Star for the sake of Young Master Ah Heng. I have no other thoughts and plans other than staying by his side."
The Queen Mother Hui Ning put away her aura and nodded with satisfaction: "Very well, Xiaoheng will trouble you to take care of everything in the future. If there is anything that can't be solved, you can directly contact my personal maid. ."
After that, the Queen Mother Hui Ning kept Lu Heng down for dinner, and she reluctantly let Lu Heng go home until it got dark.
========
Guozixue is the highest institution in the entire Huaxia Dynasty, and it is a holy place that all young people are fascinated by. The elite class, in particular, is regarded as a place of honor by everyone in the Guozi Academy because of its harsh admission requirements and the elimination system that treats nobles and commoners equally.
However. Now, someone has tarnished that honor.
There was someone who was parachuted into the elite class, without passing the assessment, and was directly transferred to the class. And this person is also the second-generation ancestor who used to be famous in the Imperial Capital Star, the son of Prince Rong.
It is said that he has not awakened the atavistic gene chain so far. Prince Rong's heir is already eighteen years old, and he has not awakened to his ancestors' gene chain in adulthood. It is almost certain that he is just an ordinary person. An ordinary person, without passing the assessment, just based on his own identity, directly got a place in the elite class of the Guozi School that many talented students dream of.
This is simply pouring a bowl of cold water into a boiling oil pan, and the entire Guozixue exploded because of this news. The aristocratic Guozi students are full of complaints. There were even activists who sat in front of the office of Jijiu Dashu to protest against the airborne of this affiliated household.
After getting the reply that the matter of the great scholar is a holy decree, and it is a foregone conclusion. Everyone is gearing up, waiting to give this bully prince a slap in the face. You must know that in Guozixue, there is no need to pay attention to the identities of nobles and commoners. As long as no one is killed, everything is based on strength.
The affirmative action that swept across the entire Huaxia Dynasty started from the Guozixue. After receiving the support of Emperor Zhaoming, these students had no reverence for the noble class.
Prince Rong's heir, after excluding his noble status, is just an ordinary person.
