With a slight drunkenness, Xia Chu had a dreamless night and slept very well. He stretched out in great comfort and called Mo Xiang to wash himself.
After finishing lunch with the Marquis, he stepped forward to help the Marquis squeeze his shoulders.
The Marquis looked at his diligence and asked with a smile: "What's the matter with you again?"
Xia Chu squeezed it and said, "I rented a shop a few days ago. Now it's called Wentian Pavilion."
Mr. Hou hummed.
"On the second floor, there is a man named Mr. Bingwen."
"Then what?"
"I want him to sell the message."
The Marquis raised his eyebrows.
"Please help me spread some rumors. Let everyone in the capital know that there is such a young master. Bai Xiaosheng will know about it and start spreading rumors like that."
The Marquis burst into laughter.
"Just praise him vigorously?"
Xia Chu nodded.
"That's the truth."
"Aren't you afraid that you will be too cruel to catch him?"
"Don't be afraid. Just do your best."
The Marquis nodded, indicating that he understood.
When Xia Chu saw that he had finished talking about the business, he stopped squeezing his shoulders, resigned and wanted to visit Suyuan.
But the Marquis called him back and took him to pick out clothes.
As soon as he entered the room, the corners of his mouth twitched.
More than forty maids were arranged in five rows, holding clothes, trousers, shoes, belts, hairpin accessories and so on in their hands.
Looking back at Mr. Hou, I saw him waiting expectantly for his choice. Unable to bear to disturb his mind, Xia Chu scanned around. He chose a sky blue brocade robe, paired with a silver belt and a silver hairpin.
"Don't you need shoes?" Mr. Hou asked
"No need, these pairs of mine are new."
"Why don't you choose a jade pendant?"
"No, I'm wearing a sachet."
"Aren't you going to get a big cloak?"
"Oh, Dad! The black one I had before was just fine."
"Okay, okay, that's it."
Xia Chu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Go and show it to me." Mr. Hou added.
Xia Chu rushed to the door holding her clothes.
"It's the same, it's still the same face after changing. I'll change it after I finish my work in the afternoon."
The Marquis looked at his back and shouted helplessly: "Change it early. Someone will pick you up before you arrive at the palace at Youshi."
A sound of knowing came from far away...
When it was time to tell the time, Xia Chu put away the silver needles on the straw man and went back to the house to start changing clothes.
After taking off his clothes, he sadly discovered that he was about to bind his chest...
Although he had disguised himself as a boy in his previous life, he was still young after all.
After going down the mountain, she returned to her daughter's body. Therefore, he has actually never tied his chest. He looked at himself. Well, although it has just begun to take shape. However, since we are entering the palace today, we should be more cautious.
After trying it seven or eight times, I finally got the hang of it. After the clothes were wrapped more evenly, I started to put on my coat.
On weekdays, he wears two belts when wearing clothes. The inner one was thinner and thinner, and it was covered with silver needles of different lengths that he used. A wide belt is covered on the outside, which is invisible at all, convenient and easy to use.
But when he entered the palace, he was afraid of what might happen. Then he carefully pulled out the silver needle from the small belt and inserted it into the places with piping pleats on the clothes.
Wait until everything is done. Mo Xiang's voice from outside also came, urging him that the carriage from the palace had arrived.
He took a look in the mirror and felt very satisfied. Swinging his sleeves, he stepped out coolly.
When I walked to the door, I saw the Marquis talking to a father-in-law. After bowing, he said: "Father."
The Marquis looked up at him. He was wearing a sky blue brocade robe with white clouds embroidered on the collar, cuffs and hem. He was wearing a silver belt and an ivory sachet. The whole person looks cold and refined, with an extraordinary temperament.
The Marquis nodded proudly and said with some dissatisfaction, "This silver hairpin is a bit plain."
"It doesn't matter. The little Marquis has a temperament that is like a fairy and has such a handsome face. No matter what hairpin you put on it, it will be the icing on the cake."
The father-in-law on the side said with a smile on his face.
The Marquis laughed heartily when he heard this.
"Eunuch Li is so complimentary."
Xia Chu pretended not to recognize Eunuch Li and looked at him doubtfully.
The Marquis introduced: "This is Eunuch Li Wei and Li who is the most personal to the Emperor. He is sent to pick you up, which means that you are treated very seriously."
"Thank you, Eunuch Li."
"Don't dare, don't dare. Let's go, little Marquis, while the Emperor is still waiting."
Eunuch Li stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation.
The Marquis handed Eunuch Li a reward, and Mo Xiang handed Xia Chu a cloak.
Eunuch Li thanked him for the reward, Xia Chu said goodbye and then turned around and got on the carriage.
Going all the way is not a grand journey. But there were also many people who came to pick him up, and the pedestrians in the market were all talking on both sides.
"Hey, this is a royal guard of honor. I don't know who is in this carriage."
"I really want to see it."
"In your dreams."
There were whispers and chuckles in his ears, but Xia Chu didn't take it seriously.
In her previous life, she entered the palace as a daughter. Xiao Yanjun came to pick her up in person, accompanied by palace maids, eunuchs, guides, ceremonial guards, and retinue. They were surrounded by chariots and chariots, flags fluttering, and the imperial guards followed closely behind.
That battle is called luxury and is enviable.
Xia Chu turned the silver bracelet on his left wrist with his right hand.
His father said that when he was born, his mother asked someone to beat him. On the inside of the bracelet, my mother also carved the word "Yun Yi" with her own hands. Originally there was a pair of bells engraved with unicorns hanging on it. Bai Ruofei hung them up for him after he went up the mountain. After he was reborn, he was afraid that the bell would cause trouble, so he took it off and kept it carefully.
He turned the silver bracelet thoughtfully.
In his previous life, he never understood until his death why Xiao Yanjun turned against him and turned their swords against each other. Is it just because he heard Zi Mu's words of admiration for him? But he also refused.
Now, he didn't bother to think about it. It was nothing more than that he had failed her, and she had failed him again. In this life, he just wants to put a bloody flower on the tip of his heart...
Eunuch Li's voice sounded and the carriage stopped.
"Little Marquis, we're here. We have to walk behind."
Xia Chu withdrew his thoughts and put on his cloak. After getting off the carriage, he followed Eunuch Li into the palace.
Passing through pavilions, pavilions, rugged mountains and rocks, you step into the corridor and reach the end. Eunuch Li announced the news outside the palace.
"Your Majesty, the young Marquis has arrived."
"Xuan."
Eunuch Li opened the door and followed Xia Chu into Qinqin Hall.
"See the Emperor."
Xia Chu stepped forward to salute, while Eunuch Li went to wait on the emperor.
"No courtesy. Raise your head and let me see."
Xia Chu raised his head in response, smiling slightly and looking at the emperor with a calm expression.
The emperor saw him wearing a black cloak and a sky blue brocade robe. There were soft ripples on the eyebrows and eyes in the shallow smile, and a pair of eyes were like the bright moon and stars. The long and dense eyelashes formed shadows under the candlelight, falling on the white cheeks that could be broken by blowing.
The emperor was stunned when he saw it, as if he had seen a girl from more than twenty years ago. The same is true, Qiao smiles beautifully and looks forward to life.
Eunuch Li whispered something to the emperor to wake him up.
"Come, sit next to me."
The emperor smiled and waved to him.
"yes."
Xia Chu took off his cloak and handed it to the palace maid, then walked towards the emperor.
The white Yunxiang Talisman at the hem of his clothes rises and falls as he moves, vivid and picturesque.
He came and sat down next to the emperor. The emperor looked sad and sighed.
"You look very much like your mother. Just now I seemed to have seen the cardamom girl from General Zhao's mansion more than 20 years ago."
"Yes, my father often said that too."
"Back then, I was hoping that your mother would give birth to a girl, Jiao'e, so I decided that you would be the crown princess. But you were born, but it was a boy.
"I disappoint the emperor." Xia Chu said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter, it's good to be a young master. I also have other princesses, you can choose the one you like. After the crown is crowned, I will officiate your marriage myself."
The emperor pointed around the palace. All the princes and princesses had been left hanging for a long time. When they heard this, they immediately burst into laughter.
"Little Marquis, my name is Xiao Muhong."
A crisp sound suddenly emerged from the laughter.
Xia Chu looked around and saw a girl of about golden hair wearing a fiery red dress who smiled shyly at him.
"My ninth princess can't sit still..." the emperor teased with a smile.
"Father!" Xiao Muhong stamped her feet, her tone slightly angry.
The emperor laughed heartily and introduced the emperor's heirs to Xia Chu one by one.
Xia Chu knew all these princes and princesses, and some of them were even familiar with them. He was only unfamiliar with Xiao Muhong's brother, Mo Wang Xiao Mubai.
In the previous life, Xiao Yanjun was extremely afraid of His Highness King Mo and said many bad things about him. They are all extremely profound, cruel, despicable words. At that time, she was naive, believed it to be true, and stayed away from him. In addition, Xiao Yanjun was very wary of him, so she had only met him a few times from a distance.
Following the emperor's introduction, his eyes came to Xiao Zimu. Seeing his polite smile and his handsome face, this smile was like a spring breeze. She is tall and tall, and her eyes are as clear as a pool of sweet springs, refreshing her heart and spleen.
Xia Chu suddenly felt like a world away, but it was just like yesterday.
Finally, his eyes glanced at Xiao Yanjun. Xiao Yanjun was smiling and was about to speak. However, Xia Chu turned away from his eyes and smiled at the emperor. He said flatteringly: "The emperor looks like a king, and his appearance is extraordinary. You dragon heirs are naturally He is majestic and has both talent and appearance."
"Then do you have a princess you like? I think Mu Hong is pretty good, and she is about the same age as you." The emperor became more and more satisfied as he looked at her, and asked with a smile.
"Here, Xia Chu is still young, and it's still early for him to become a weakling."
Xia Chu was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the time period had changed, but the soup was still changed without changing the medicine.
"It doesn't matter, we can get married first and then consummate the marriage later."
"Your Majesty, Xia Chu has been weak since childhood, and has often been bedridden in the past ten years. No, this year he has improved slightly and was allowed to go down the mountain to visit his father. After the year, he will have to go back to the mountain to support him."
Xia Chu had no choice but to act out the drama of bitter love.
The emperor was thoughtful, with a hint of apology in his eyes.
"You blame me for being weak since you were young. No matter, this matter is not urgent."
Xia Chu nodded and thanked.
"How long can you take care of this body?"
"It's estimated that we won't be able to go down the mountain again until midsummer."
"Okay." The emperor stroked his head, his face full of distress.
"When you have nothing to do, come and walk around the palace. If you want anything, just tell me." The emperor asked with a loving look on his face.
Xia Chu nodded obediently and thanked the emperor for his kindness.
