Chapter 14 A look of envy, jealousy and hatred
There is no doubt that the extremely arrogant and vicious prince Zhu Cilang is definitely a giant bull in the eyes of his younger brothers and sisters. No one dares to challenge the authority of this prince brother.
Not to mention Zhu Cijiong, who has a weak personality, even Zhu Weiyu, who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, is also a little afraid of Zhu Cilang.
Although Zhu Cixuan and Zhu Cihuan, who are still young, have grown up in the bloody palace struggle environment and have matured prematurely, they are still as afraid of Zhu Cixuan when they see Zhu Cixuan.
At this time, in the side hall of Zhengxin Hall, a young man wearing only a second-rank military official uniform sat down safely, and a young palace maid was peeling loquats for this guy to eat.
Of course, this scene was not because Zhu Cihuan was "shocked", but when he saw the prince Zhu Cihuan's face, he actually... with a flattering smile on his face, and respectfully handed a clean handkerchief with both hands... What made Zhu Cihuan's eyes almost fall off was that the young military officer actually accepted it calmly!!! He took the handkerchief and wiped it on the corner of his mouth, wiped his hands again, and threw it at the table... This... This... Even the father has never enjoyed the prince's brother serving him like this?! This book [stay up late to read] Read
Needless to say, the guy who was served so carefully by the prince was of course his brother-in-law, and his plague god and nemesis - Ximen Daguanren.
Seeing such an "amazing" scene, Zhu Cihuan couldn't believe his eyes, thought it was an hallucination, and raised his hand and rubbed his eyes.
"Ci Hwan - what are you doing sneakily outside?!"
Zhu Cilang shouted a sudden shout, which scared Zhu Cihuan to tremble all over. The whip in his hand also fell to the ground, but he did not dare to run away. He quickly bowed and said, "I... I am racing against Ci Jiong, I don't know that the prince's brother is here..." As he said that, he couldn't hide his curiosity in his heart. He raised his head a little and secretly looked at Ximending, trying to see clearly who this guy is.
"What are you looking at?! No polite at all..." Zhu Cilang glared at him, turned his head to see Ximending looking at Xiao Zhengtai with interest, and then he looked solemn and said seriously: "You are here just right, come in quickly and introduce Lord Ximen to you to know."
Ximen...Sir??
Suddenly, Zhu Cihuan's mouth was so open that she could stuff a goose egg into it. This... this... is the one... Ximending who dared to hit the prince's brother in his mouth, but did not take the arrogant queen seriously?
Obviously, to lay the foundation for winning over Ximending, Concubine Yuan had brainwashed her son, and she had successfully portrayed the image of a positive hero by her.
Boys all admire heroes, and suffer from the power of Zhu Cihuan for many years, and often dreams of trampling the prince's brother under his feet. This is especially true. In his eyes when he looked at Ximending, he was no longer just worshipping him, but completely treating him as a god.
"Why are you still standing there?" Zhu Cixuan narrowed his eyes and shouted with a gloomy face: "I'm a slutty again, and I don't even listen to Brother Wei's words?"
Zhu Cihuan came back to his senses with a "ah——" but before he could enter the palace, a palace maid walked quickly from behind him and bowed to Zhu Cihuan and said, "Your Highness, the Empress, summon you to Kunning Palace immediately."
Zhu Cilang frowned and said helplessly: "Well... I know..." As he said that, he stood up and said humbly to Ximending: "Hehe... Lord Ximen, that matter is settled. See when it will be convenient, I can say hello to them in advance."
Ximending did not reply to him, nor did he get up, but raised his hand to take the loquat peeled by the little palace maid, stuffed it into his mouth, and then chewed it carefully, while slowly saying: "As the saying goes, multiple friends and more friends, it is good to make more friends. Your Highness is so enthusiastic. If the minister refuses, it is unkind and ignorant. Let's do this. While the weather is good these few days, let's arrange it tomorrow..." Speaking of this, Ximending stopped deeper.
He looked at Zhu Cilang deeply, smiles on his face, but his eyes became sharp, and he slowly said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince should know the temper of a humble minister. I am actually easy to talk to, but the prerequisite is... don't mess with me! Of course, I also hope that this is just a simple dating event. If someone wants to make other plans through this matter, or be shameless... Humph, don't blame me for turning against others at that time, I will make him regret coming to this world!"
Zhu Cilang couldn't help but feel cold and almost gave up his plan. However, thinking of the humiliation brought to him by Master Ximen, he secretly gritted his teeth and endured it, and said with a serious look: "This matter is led by me personally. Who dares to make other plans because of the courage of Xiongxin and leopard?! Not to mention Master Ximen, even I will never let him go!"
Pretend, keep pretending! I mean, you are quite sloppy and pretending to be confused with me?
"Haha, I am just reminding Your Highness the Crown Prince to avoid being exploited by people with ulterior motives..." Ximending warned first, and stopped talking. He stood up and smiled and said, "Okay, Your Highness the Crown Prince, don't let the Empress wait for a long time. Go quickly. See you in Tiger Mountain tomorrow."
"Okay, I will be waiting for Lord Ximen in Tiger Mountain tomorrow. See you all." Zhu Cihuang bowed and turned around, but did not take a look at standing outside the hall gate. He didn't know whether to come in or choose to leave. Zhu Cihuan was a little nervous.
Today, Zhu Cixuan took the initiative to show his goodwill and lowered his figure so much. He came here in person, saying that the end of the year was approaching, and he wanted to organize a year-end hunting event and invite his brother-in-law to participate. The main purpose was to introduce some high-powered princelings to get to know each other.
Ximending doesn't believe that he will turn back and get back to the right and needs to be repaired with him. However, he can't refuse. It's not a family? On the surface, it's better to show harmony. Even if my brother-in-law has any plans, the official Ximen is not afraid. Instead, he is very interested in participating. He wants to see what tricks his brother-in-law can do.

Ximending stared at Zhu Cilang's back for a while and his eyes fell, then he noticed that the little master Zhu Cihuan was staring at him with bright eyes.
Ximending has long heard of this little guy, a willful and willful brother-in-law. In addition, because of Concubine Yuan, although he had never seen him, he had long listed him as a bad child in his heart.
When I saw him today, I felt my eyes lit up. What a beautiful little boy, no wonder he liked Lao Zhu the most.
Everyone loves beauty. Such a porcelain doll with pink and jade is naturally more pleasing than the dry Zhu Cixuan. Ximending couldn't help but feel a little bit of love. He coughed lightly and said kindly: "Are you... the King of Mourning Ling Zhu Cihuan?"
The idol in my mind, the great hero... or the legendary spy of the big inner secret agent, Lyndian, who actually talked to him so kindly. Zhu Cihuan was very excited. Her little heart was thumping violently, and her little face was flushed red. She couldn't speak anymore, but she just stared at Ximending stupidly.
"Ahem... Zhengxin Palace is the important place for the emperor to discuss matters. Your mother has never told you, shouldn't run around here, children?"
"You... are you... are you... are you..."
"Don't be anxious, just say it slowly." Ximending walked forward and reached out to touch Zhu Cihuan's head.
Zhu Cihuan swallowed hard, tilted her face, and said with great difficulty: "Do you... do you... often... often play with Ci?"
"Uh... I don't often either. I just go to see him occasionally when I go to the palace... Well, I've been there for more than half a month. Is he okay?"
"Ah-is it true?!" Zhu Cihuan said with envy and hatred, as if she remembered something, pretending to be mysterious and looked at the young palace maid standing not far behind Ximending, and lowered her voice: "In the future, you...every time you enter the palace, come and play with me..."
