Emperor Phoenix

Chapter 53

Xiao Rong, Prince Xiao immediately decided that in the future, he must put poison on the back collar, insert needles, and set up traps—this collar has been picked up twice, and he is extremely clever. The same mistake, then there is no need to mess around in Yingdu.

Tell you to carry it, tell you to carry it next time—huh!

Imagining the embarrassment of the emperor or the prince clasping his hands and jumping around, Xiao Baozi smiled sinisterly.

Xiao Jue stared at Xiao Baozi with a sullen face, he remembered that he was a little beggar picked up by Mingshuang, very smart, but... what was he laughing at inexplicably?
However, what is even more inexplicable is myself, why am I here, entangled with a child?
He was not supposed to go out of the palace today. He planned to call the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs after dealing with the state affairs for a day, and arrange the spring relief next year, but after putting down the fresh ink Zihao pen, he looked at the pile of papers. Yuan, looking at the glorious and empty hall in front of him, and then looking at the huge square outside the hall, which is as smooth as a vast water surface, and the endless sky above the square, suddenly felt that the world is so vast, but life is so cramped, and the loneliness is deep , like a tide flooding my heart.

Unknowingly, he threw away his hands and walked across the silent purple and gold inlaid thick soft carpet, walked past the imperial guards lined up on both sides of the royal road and stood straight like nails, walked past the jade steps of Danbi, copper tortoise and copper crane , Strolling across the jade belt bridge full of clear water, walking out of the huge palace gate that is heavy and majestic, towering as if it can reach the sky.

In a trance, he didn't know where he was going, he didn't know who he was looking for, and he didn't know the eunuch Yu Hai and the commander of the imperial army who followed him. Arranged to guard against the fast horse passing, I personally brought thousands of guards and sergeants, and hurriedly changed clothes to follow.

Xiao Jue, who came to court, always only wore black brocade robes, and only embroidered golden dragons on the cuffs of the robe. Today's one is especially simple. The embroidered one is nothing more than a unicorn. It's too eye-catching, but it's just the emperor's honor. The noble and stern temperament of the long-standing man and his handsome appearance attracted the attention of passers-by. Since the guards kept blocking them intentionally or unintentionally, no one could get close.

Xiao Jue walked for a while, and saw that the crowds were getting thicker and the market was bustling, so he stopped in a little surprise, looked around, and found that it was the Dong'an Avenue that he had been to a few days ago, why did he come here in a daze?

Standing still, thinking for a while, Xiao Jue laughed at himself...does he want to meet that maid like last time?how is this possible?

I am really... crazy.

He turned around and was about to leave, but he saw a small figure at a glance, his footsteps floated in front of a nearby shop like a ghost, his eyes were half-opened and half-closed, standing in front of the pot of pastries that had just come out of the pastry shop, his face was full of intoxication , it was the ghost next to Mingshuang.

He was overjoyed, and he had already passed by before he had time to think about it. Since he noticed this child last time, he always thought of him, and there was always an indescribable liking for him. He bought cakes for money, so he reached out to touch his face, wanting to ask him if he wanted to eat cakes.

result……

He groaned and bit his hand.

Xiao Jue began to wonder if this child was his nemesis, why was he so unlucky every time he met him?
Withdrawing his hand, there were small teeth marks on it, and there was dripping saliva all around... Xiao Jue frowned and stretched out his hand, and immediately a plainclothes guard came over and handed over the silk scarf.

Wiping his hands, he grabbed Xiao Baozi back, Xiao Jue didn't bother to ask him why he smiled, and said directly: "Where is Mingshuang?"

"Recite scriptures in the nunnery." Xiao Baozi lied without hesitation—he remembered the last time the emperor used this to embarrass his mother.

"Then why are you here?"

Rolling his eyes and flattening his mouth, Xiao Baozi immediately started crying without difficulty: "I slipped out to play... want to eat cakes... have no money..."

Hmm... The nunnery is indeed too boring for a child... Xiao Jue's eyes softened a little, and he leaned over to hold his hand, and asked, "Which one do you want to eat?"

"Huh?" Baozi Xiao couldn't react, biting his fingers in a daze.

Xiao Jue smiled, he didn't know that there was a hint of pampering in the smile, he turned around and told Yu Hai who was following up, "Ask the boss to take a bag of everything."

"Yes!"

"Ah...don't don't..." Xiao Baozi broke out in a cold sweat, what are you kidding, there are hundreds of pastries in this shop, you want to smash me to death with pastries?Besides, how to bring it back, mother will definitely fix me...

However, it would be a fool not to take advantage of it...

Xiao Jue looked at Xiao Baozi with questioning eyes, and Xiao Baozi put on a flattering smile: "My lord, take away so many sweets, if you can't eat them all, it's a waste, and they won't be fresh after a long time, if you really If you love me, why don't you put all the pastries you bought on the account, and I can pick them up anytime I want, okay?"

How old is this kid?Also too smart, right?Xiao Jue stared at him—whose parents gave birth to such a fine boy?Find it out and give him the household secretary!
Yu Hai pursed his lips and smiled, leaned slightly and was still waiting for the order, Xiao Jue waved his hand, he knowingly went to the cabinet and put a large bank note, it is estimated that even with Xiao Baozi's ferocious level of eating sweets, at least it is enough to eat every day It's been three years, the boss was overjoyed, greeted the two distinguished guests to the shop for tea and cakes.

Xiao Jue also felt a little hungry at this time, smelling the aroma of the cake, smiled and said: "You kid, just like me, love sweets the most."

Holding Baozi's hand and entering the store, the boss immediately asked Xiao Er to wait carefully, and courteously brought out various pastries. When the crystal soup buns came, the two said in unison: "No vinegar, soy sauce, and chili."

As soon as the words fell, big and small eyes stared at each other.

"Good Luo," the boss said with a sweaty bean paste chili pepper, "As expected of father and son, this taste comes out of the same mold, I have never seen a person who eats crystal buns without jealousy."

Xiao Jue was startled, then looked at Xiao Baozi... father and son?
Baozi Xiao's face turned black -- what nonsense is the stinky boss talking about, I, Mr. Xiao's father, haven't made a decision yet.

The mille-feuille cake came up last, it was hot and delicious, with a cheer, Xiao Baozi picked it up with his chopsticks, and hit another pair of ebony chopsticks with a snap.

The two people who crashed again slowly raised their heads and looked at each other for a moment. After a while, Xiao Jue went to pick up the bean silk cake, and Baozi dragged the cake into his own plate.

With so many snacks, why do you want to grab the mille-feuille cake with me?snort!
"The magic hand touches the bone... the iron mouth breaks... the crape myrtle spell... pointing the maze... Fang Shenshu, the No. 11th generation true disciple of Master Jia Xianshi of Fengyun Mountain, knows the three tastes of family, helps the world and saves people..." There was a sudden hoarseness The voice came, at first it sounded far away, but in a blink of an eye, it was near, so fast!

As soon as the light and shadow dimmed, the door curtain was lifted suddenly, and a skinny Taoist priest in a tattered blue sermon robe, whose hair seemed to have not been washed for ten days, poked his head in, grinned, walked into the store with his legs lifted, and sat down on Xiao Beside Jue, he grabbed the emerald fried dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth. His mouth bulged and said, "...the little Taoist priest looks at the purple air, and knows that he is blessed... What a blessing..."

"Hey!" The head of the imperial guards chased into the store angrily, grabbed the Taoist priest, and said anxiously: "We'll take care of it here, you stinky Taoist priest, get out!" He dragged the Taoist priest out, God Kill him, he is responsible for the defense outside, the outside is loose and the inside is tightly guarded, even a fly can't get close, how did this Taoist get in?No one saw it!

"Ai ai ai ai..." The Taoist priest desperately grabbed the dim sum on the table, "Taoist priests don't eat for free... Taoist priests count the fate of your father and son..."

"Bah! What are you talking about!" The leader of the guards spat on the Taoist priest, "Hurry up and get out!"

He dragged the Taoist priest to leave, but Xiao Jue suddenly said: "Slow down."

Startled, the leader of the guard immediately stopped, Xiao Jue nodded, and he immediately bowed and retreated.

Looking at the Taoist priest, Xiao Jue smiled, tapped the plate with his chopsticks, and said, "Taoist priest, what are you claiming to be a straight-forward, but you're playing a deceptive trick, what father and son? You made a mistake the moment you spoke!"

"Wrong? How is it possible?" The Taoist squinted his small eyes filled with feces, looked at him and Xiao Baozi, "How dare the Taoist talk nonsense in front of you? These bones are obviously father and son." He looked at Xiao Baozi again With one glance, suddenly as if being stabbed by a needle, he jumped up suddenly, not even knowing that the emerald dumpling fell to the ground, his eyes widened in astonishment, and he gasped: "... this, this, this, this, this... how is this possible?... ... No wonder this purple air is so..."

Xiao Jue was baffled, and was about to ask, when the Taoist suddenly glanced to the southwest, his eyes suddenly turned into balls, and he yelled, "...again! Impossible!...that's... ah !"

He turned around abruptly, slapped himself, and rushed out of the shop quickly, yelling, "...I must have failed to learn...I must have misread...how is it possible...I will go back to the mountain and retreat 30 years to go..."

He looks thin and small, but he is as nimble as a mink. He was outside the shop in a flash, but Xiao Jue tried to stop him but didn't stop him, shouting: "Stop him!"

Immediately there was shouting outside, and hundreds of people chased them out.Xiao Jue waited with a serious expression, and not long after, the leader of the bodyguard came back angrily, "...Young Master, for some reason, he disappeared in a flash..."

"These Buddhists always have some supernatural powers, but they are crazy, and I'm afraid it's useless to find them..." Xiao Jue paused, let out a long breath, and said coldly, "Go down."

The leader of the guards, who was in a cold sweat, retreated. Xiao Baozi seemed to ignore the scene just now and only cared about eating and drinking. Xiao Jue was silently meditating, thinking about what the Taoist said just now, and suddenly smelled a strange smell. Xiang, Xiao Jue's eyes lit up, and said: "It seems to be stinky tofu..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Baozi jumped up, waving his chopsticks and said, "Stinky tofu, stinky tofu!"
