Chapter 772
Chapter 772
Hearing the storyteller's description, the guests present burst out laughing.

Everyone knows that the Southern Kingdom was defeated by Beihan, so they sent a prince as a hostage.

That day the nine princes of the Southern Kingdom came to Beijing, and it was noon when they entered the palace, and the emperor took a nap and did not meet 'him'.

When the emperor got up to sleep in the morning and saw the Ninth Prince, the Ninth Prince was frightened and fainted. This incident instantly became a big joke in Beihan Capital.

In the wing room on the second floor, several playboys from rich families sat at a table.

An eleven or twelve-year-old son said with a smile: "The Ninth Prince of the Southern Kingdom is really so short?"

"I don't know if I'm short or not. I'm really timid. It's useless to be scared and faint, hahahahaha."

"Hahaha……"

"Clap."

A teacup was placed heavily on the table, and the boy sitting on the chair by the window slightly opened his eyes.

Xiao Heqi had been closing his eyes to rest his mind just now, and at the same time, he heard clearly what the storyteller downstairs said, as well as what the young masters beside him said.

The sound of the teacup falling on the table frightened the young masters to silence.

Little Hou Ye just fell asleep and was awakened by their laughter.

They know that the young master likes to close his eyes every time he drinks alcohol, and closing his eyes to rest his mind is not to sleep.

Xiao Heqi glanced at them coldly: "Noisy."

One word scared the young masters present.

They heard that a few months ago, because the young master didn't want to study in the Royal Academy, he quietly went to the border. After returning, he was punished by the old general Xiao to stay in the barracks for half a month.

It's only been a few days since I came out of the barracks.

As soon as the young master came out, he asked them to drink, obviously bored in the barracks.

But I don't know why, but I feel that the young master's temperament has changed a little, and he seems to be extra irritable, such as the irritable at this moment.

A young master boldly said: "Young Lord Hou got a headache from the noise from the storyteller downstairs, so I'll tell him to shut up."

The young man just asked tentatively.

Xiao Heqi narrowed his eyes slightly, and raised his chin slightly as a gesture.

The young boys in this circle are all from famous families, and they are usually playful, and after being around Xiao Heqi for a long time, they can slightly guess the meaning of the expression in his eyes.

The boy got up and went downstairs.

After a while, the storyteller downstairs hurriedly left the desk with his head bowed, not daring to say another word.

The ordinary people downstairs looked at the situation in a daze.

After a moment of silence, the people drinking tea at the tables began to discuss.

"The Ninth Prince of the Southern Kingdom is really cowardly. After all, he is also a prince of a country. Why did he faint from fright when he saw our emperor?"

"I heard that it's the Ninth Prince. He's only nine years old, so he's just a child. I'm afraid the Southern Kingdom sent a child to perfuse us Beihan."

"No, no, no country in the world would dare to perfunctory us Beihan. I heard that the Ninth Prince is particularly favored in the Southern Kingdom. If it wasn't for the defeat of the war and the need to send a proton, the Ninth Prince may become the heir apparent of the Southern Kingdom in the future."

"I've also heard about it. I heard that the Ninth Prince was particularly favored and raised by the emperor of the Southern Kingdom as the heir apparent. But what did he cultivate? He cultivated a child as courageous as a grain of rice hahahahaha..."

"I'm so lucky to be born in Beihan, hahahaha."

"..."

Xiao Heqi's childish face was gloomy.

To send a proton, of course, is to send the most favored prince as a hostage.

Xiao Heqi had also heard a little bit about the Nine Princes of the Southern Kingdom, although their mother and concubine came from a humble background, they were always very popular with the emperor of the Southern Kingdom, and they were very favored...

But he saw the Ninth Prince Nanzhi Jianjie with his own eyes.

As for Nanzhi Chenjie's small body who obviously hasn't had enough to eat for several years, and even has injuries on his throat and body, this is called being favored!

Nonsense.

Xiao Heqi didn't know who the favored prince of the Southern Kingdom was.

But Nan Zhijian is definitely an abandoned child who was pushed out.

Nanguo deliberately spread rumors that he was favored, and the more favored he was, the emperor would naturally make him embarrass and suppress him, making the people laugh at Nanguo.

What are you stunned by?

I'm afraid it didn't make Nanzhi Chenjie stand in the sun and get fainted.

Entered the palace at noon and stood there for two hours before the emperor saw Nanzhi Jianjie.

A thin little man of nine years old stood on the bluestone bricks outside the imperial study for two hours, noon and noon was the hottest time of the day.

Others don't know these details, but Xiao Heqi heard about them from his grandfather...

The young boy by the window clenched his cup tightly with his fingers. The afternoon wind blew through the teahouse, and he could see the imperial palace in the distance with a glance.

Nanzhi Chenli has been in the palace for half a month, and he doesn't know what's going on.

……

On the desolate palace road in the palace, an eunuch was walking with a tray.

It's very remote here, and there are basically no people.

There was a bowl of medicine on the eunuch's tray. The eunuch walked very slowly.

Suddenly, a young eunuch ran out of the bushes.

The hairy little eunuch almost knocked down the tray in the eunuch's hand.

"Hey, where did the little brat bump into the miscellaneous house?!"

The little eunuch Maotou was startled, seeing that the clothes on this eunuch were of higher grade than his own, he quickly knelt on the ground.

"Grandfather... Father-in-law, I'm sorry, the little one got lost and ran faster... The little one didn't do it on purpose."

When the eunuch saw that this was just a young eunuch who had just entered the palace, he didn't care about it.

"Get up, don't come to this area in the future, this is not a place for you to come, be careful with your life."

The little eunuch was frightened, he looked around: "This place is too desolate, no one lives here, it's gloomy... I must listen to my father-in-law and never come here again."

The eunuch smiled: "It is desolate and gloomy, but there are still people living there."

And he is delivering medicine to the people who live here.

"Who lives here?" the little eunuch couldn't help asking.

The eunuch said: "Don't worry about it so much, you are not allowed to come here after walking on that road, get out."

"Yes Yes Yes……"

The little eunuch ran away in fright.

The eunuch tidied up his clothes, looked at the cold concoction on the tray, and continued walking forward.

After walking for about a stick of incense, I came to a particularly dilapidated remote courtyard.

The entire small courtyard is full of peach trees. This season, the peach trees are full of green leaves. The lush peach leaves add a bit of vitality to this dilapidated small courtyard.

Entering the gate of the small courtyard and walking through the peach forest is a dilapidated house.

Sitting under the eaves was a young boy in coarse linen.

The eunuch walked over: "Ninth prince, your nourishing medicine has been delivered. The emperor said that you are in poor health and asked the imperial doctor to take care of you. You must take nourishing medicine every day."

Ruan Xiaoli, who was sitting under the eaves, raised his head and glanced at the concoction.

Traditional Chinese medicine itself is smelly and bitter, not to mention cold.

"Eunuch, put down the medicine, I'll drink it in a while."

The eunuch didn't put down the medicine, but picked it up and handed it over: "The emperor ordered that the miscellaneous family have to serve His Highness and use up the medicine before leaving."
