Chapter 174: Gifts
Xiao Yun walked to the palace with a gift. Before he could see clearly, he saw someone coming out of the door of the mansion and smiled at Xiao Yun, "Oh, isn't this Lord Xiao? You finally come, are you going to let me grow up and wait? I'm still worried that you won't come. If that happens, I will suffer?"
Xiao Yun knew who the person was without looking at it.
The person who came was Zhao Huan. I don’t know if it was because today was the birthday of the Seventh Prince or the joyful event. He was wearing white clothes, carrying a long sword, and his figure of slightly 1.88 meters, was indescribably elegant and handsome, and Xiao Yun sighed secretly.
Zhao Huan didn't notice the envy in Xiao Yun's eyes, and smiled and greeted Xiao Yun from the steps, laughed and said, "Brother Xiao, you are here!"
Xiao Yun greeted him with a smile: "Brother Zhao is so kind to invite each other, how dare you not come?"
When Zhao Huan heard something in his words, his face turned slightly red, but it flashed by and said to Xiao Yun: "I had some offensive things yesterday. I hope Brother Xiao has a lot of them. Don't be surprised. I am also doing things under the order of the prince. I am afraid that Brother Xiao will not come, so I will use this move!"
"Haha, once this move is used, even if Xiao is bold, he dares not come!" Xiao Yun stared at Zhao Huan and looked at his every move for a while, but he felt that he was more enthusiastic than usual, and there was nothing wrong with anything else. But for some reason, Xiao Yun felt that there was an inexplicable fear entangled around him. This fear became even stronger when he met Zhao Huan.
Zhao Huan's face turned red and said, "A misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. If Brother Xiao can't let go, Zhao will apologize to Brother Xiao here?" As soon as he finished speaking, before Xiao Yun could react, he really bowed his hands and gave Xiao Yun a 90-degree gift to him.
At this time, there were many people outside the main hall of the Qi Prince's Mansion, most of them were rich and wealthy families in the capital. Seeing a scholar-like servant in the Seventh Prince's Mansion, who was giving such a big gift to another young man with a scholar-like appearance, they turned their heads and looked at them, and most of the eyes fell on Xiao Yun. Many people pointed at him, and some even asked about Xiao Yun's identity in a low voice.
Xiao Yun did not expect that Zhao Huan would salute him seriously. He was the personal bodyguard of the Seventh Prince. Although he was much smaller than Xiao Yun's identity, he was still a member of the Seventh Prince. He probably never had to salute him in public. But in this way, Xiao Yun was upset in his heart. If Zhao Huan looked at him coldly today, with Xiao Yun's casual personality, he might not have noticed that something was wrong. However, Zhao Huan's abnormal behavior immediately aroused Xiao Yun's alertness. He remembered on the 21st.
During the training of special forces in the century, a comrade-in-arms said to him: "If a person who likes to laugh on weekdays suddenly cried to you one day, then you have to pay attention. Maybe the person who killed you will be him!" This sentence was just a joke at that time, and Xiao Yun just smiled it as a joke and didn't care. But judging from Zhao Huan's various performances yesterday and today's backhand, Xiao Yun felt that this sentence was more and more reasonable: "It's indeed strange!"
Zhao Huan gave a big gift, stood up slowly, his face remained unchanged, and said, "Can Brother Xiao let go?"
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Brother Zhao is too polite. Isn't this stingy person? As the saying goes, a general runs off his horse and he can hold a boat in his stomach. Although Xiao is not a general or a prime minister in the current dynasty, even if you have any offenses about your brother Zhao and your brother, you will never blame him! Besides, Brother Zhao has not offended him, so why should I blame him?"
Zhao Huan nodded and smiled, "That's right, that's right, Brother Xiao has a lot, so I won't blame you!"
Xiao Yun was about to say something, but suddenly Lu Chuchu, who was standing behind Xiao Yun, walked forward and said, "If you continue talking, I'm afraid you don't have to go in for the birthday party of the Seventh Prince?"
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Zhao Huan was immediately surprised and looked around and said, "Chuchu, are you here too?"
Seeing that he was calling out his boudoir name in front of Xiao Yun, Lu Chuchu was extremely intimate, and his pretty face became hot, afraid that Xiao Yun would be unhappy to hear it, so she looked at Xiao Yun worriedly. Seeing that Xiao Yun staring at Zhao Huan's face without paying attention, she felt at ease. She was afraid that Zhao Huan would say something indecent, which would arouse Xiao Yun's heart, so she hurriedly said in a faint tone: "Today's birthday party of the Seventh Prince, can I be the second lady of Lujiabao?"
Zhao Huan could not hear the coldness of Lu Chuchu's tone. When he heard him speak, he had already forgotten Xiao Yun. He turned to Lu Chuchu and looked at her side. But when he saw her say that the rural woman was wearing a rural woman, her face was not pink and her ears were draped. Although she was less noble than before, she had an invisible sense of beauty and elegance. She looked really beautiful, and only made Zhao Huan forget her joy.
He looked at Lu Chuchu with his eyes foolishly and said hurriedly: "It's here, it's here!"
Lu Chuchu glared at him with some disgust and wanted to say something fierce, but in front of so many people, his lips moved, but he did not dare to speak. He had to ignore Zhao Huan, stepped forward and pulled Xiao Yun's sleeve, and said, "Brother Xiao, the birthday party of the Seventh Prince is about to begin, we have to go in?"
Xiao Yun smiled at Zhao Huan helplessly and said, "Brother Zhao, see you later!" After saying that, he ignored the guards standing guard at the door and walked towards the main hall of the Seventh Prince.
Zhao Huan looked at Lu Chuchu holding Xiao Yun's right hand, as if he was a family member, and his eyes immediately had a trace of murderous intent, but in an instant, he flashed by, and piled up with a smile on his face, and said to Xiao Yun who was gradually moving away: "See you later!" When Xiao Yun's figure disappeared into the main hall of the Seventh Prince, Zhao Huan suddenly spitted, showed a fierce look on his face, stared at Xiao Yun's disappearing back, and gritted his teeth: "I don't kill you, Zhao Huan, is not a human being!"
There was a distance between the seventh prince's main hall. Xiao Yun and Song Fang were led by a eunuch from the royal palace to turn around the red pavilion, lower the door, pass through the hall, and then arrived at the door of the main hall.
An official in his fifties immediately walked out of the door, smiled at Xiao Yun and others, and said, "Are you working hard?"
Before Xiao Yun could come back to his senses, Song Fang took out the gift box and delivered it up. A white light shone. Xiao Yun was shocked when he saw the gift officer. His mouth was wide for a long time, but he didn't close it.
Lu Chuchu was funny, pulled Xiao Yun's sleeve and chuckled in a low voice: "Brother Xiao, do you think that person looks like a toad who wants to eat swans?"
Xiao Yun looked at him and saw that his ritual officer was slightly bent and half open his mouth, as if he had not yet joined him, but he was not a toad.
Just as he was about to laugh, the ceremonial official swallowed his saliva at this moment, closed his mouth, and delivered the gift box of the pearl "Cat Pounce Butterfly Picture" given by Song Fang, and walked towards Xiao Yun with a smile on his face. His eyes intentionally or unintentionally fell on the large paper box held in Xiao Yun's right hand.
Xiao Yun laughed secretly and said to himself: "I'm not the time for you now?"
The ritual official walked up to Xiao Yun and said with a smile: "Is there any work?"
"This lord really can't afford it. I need to give this gift to the prince in person!" Xiao Yun always felt uneasy today, and wanted to take the opportunity to go in and take a look, so he felt at ease, so he did this trick.
The ritual officer obviously did not expect it, frowned slightly, and hesitated a little. He fell heavily into Xiao Yun's cardboard box. After hesitating for a moment, he waved his hand to the main hall behind him, and immediately walked out of a small eunuch. The ritual officer glanced at Xiao Yun, then walked to the little eunuch, put his mouth in his ear, and whispered a few words. The traitant eunuch nodded and immediately ran away.
In a moment, an old man wearing the clothes of the prince's chief executive walked out of the inside without an expression. He frowned and looked into the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "Who wants to give the prince in person?"
"It's me!" Xiao Yun came forward with a large cardboard box and responded.
The man moved his gaze and looked Xiao Yun up and down. After a while, hesitated and looked at the large cardboard box in Xiao Yun's hand and said, "Come with me!"
"Thank you, sir!" Xiao Yun followed the man to the main hall with a large cardboard box.
"Little brother, Brother Xiao...?" Lu Chuchu and Song Fang shouted in a hurry when they saw Xiao Yun go in.
"Two, the prince's birthday party is about to come. You may as well go in first. When the adults come later, the official will also inform you of the specific direction?"
Song Fang and Lu Chuchu looked at each other and wanted to continue shouting, but looking at Xiao Yun's figure gradually fading away, he couldn't hear it anymore, so he had to give up and entered the main hall with a worried look on his face.
Xiao Yun followed the man through the hall and soon came to the back mountain, with the carving corridors, pavilions, pavilions, lofts and platforms built according to the mountain; the surrounding walls were undulating like waves, and a pond of living water was rippling gently, natural, harmonious, and elegant. Xiao Yun followed the man into the water pavilion, and after passing the water pavilion, it was the residence of the Seventh Prince, "Longqing Palace".
The entire "Longqing Palace" has green tiles flying eaves, glass groups of animals on the ridge, and painted columns. The ceiling, colored paintings, plaques, wall hiding, calligraphy and paintings, lamps, banners, furnaces and other unique furniture in the royal palace are arranged in an orderly manner. Looking around, a sense of kingly spirit arises naturally.
"It's true that he is the prince. The place where he lives is really extraordinary, and it's different everywhere?"
"Hmph, wait for a moment, and I will report to the prince now!" The man stared at Xiao Yun and said dissatisfied.
Xiao Yun didn't care and nodded, "I'm working hard!"
The man didn't even look at Xiao Yun, and swung his sleeves and entered the back hall. In a moment, Xiao Yun heard an old voice inside and shouted, "Who is so bold to meet this king alone!"
Xiao Yun heard the voice with a hint of displeasure and seemed to be a little angry, and his eyes couldn't help but jump. At this moment, the man walked out in a hurry and said to Xiao Yun: "Your Majesty, please invite me!"
