Within a day, rumors about Xiao Rui's heroic (romantic) deeds spread throughout Chang'an City. For those who were celebrating the New Year, the flavor of the New Year was almost diluted by this wind of gossip.
"Have you heard? Xiao Rui, the most popular prince-in-law in recent times, actually stepped on two boats and made an engagement with Princess Xiangcheng. Half of the six rites were gone, and now he has occupied the granddaughter of Duke Wei. .”
"Who? Prince Consort Xiao Rui? Which Xiao Rui?"
"Who else can be Xiao Rui, the selfless and selfless Xiao Yushi who wrote about chivalrous conduct?"
"Xiao Yushi! Hey, that's a good thing. Xiao Yushi dares to kill corrupt officials and can make decisions for the people. Not to mention marrying a second wife, even if he marries a princess, it's not much."
"Bah! Old Hutou, you are just talking nonsense. Is the emperor's princess a cabbage? And gold is precious. Being able to marry one princess and become the consort is a favor. You want to marry two? Let alone two, even if it is You can’t even take a concubine! Xiao Yushi Pills.”
"What pill? Isn't it just to marry a second wife? Then Feng Yandao, the son of Feng Deyi, is different from a concubine. I heard that he raised concubines from three brothels, and the royal family didn't say anything. Xiao Yushi only had a second wife. , what’s the matter?”
"Then let me ask you, how is Feng Yandao doing now?"
"Nonsense, everyone knows that he was hacked to death by Xiao Yushi in the street... um... this..."
In this way, people in the streets and alleys are talking about Xiao Rui, with mixed praise and criticism.
"The prince-in-law Xiao Rui is really a role model for our generation. After marrying a princess, he can have a second wife, and she is not a common girl. The granddaughter of Duke Wei is not as good as a princess, but she is almost there."
"What, the second bedroom? You don't know much about it, right? It's obviously the third bedroom, okay?"
"Third bedroom? Which one else?"
"Which one? I'll scare you to death if I tell you. She is the chief censor, the daughter of the censor doctor Wei Zheng! It is said that Miss Wei and Miss Li, the granddaughter of Wei Guogong, are close friends. The two agreed to marry Xiao's consort, hehe. , there will be a good show to watch in the future, can the two ladies join forces to fight against a princess?"
…
Xiao Rui:......
Listening to the rumors in the market, Xiao Rui was almost dumbfounded. He was so frightened that he thought to himself, "Should I go out and hide for a while? This time, the yellow mud fell off my crotch and I couldn't wash it off." Wei Yanran's claim was false, but Li Shengnan couldn't cover it up in his martial arts competition.
Rumors spread all over the world, let alone the palace. Even if Old Wei and Wei Guogong Li Jing knew about it, I'm afraid they wouldn't let it go.
For the first time in his life, Xiao Rui felt that the world was full of malice.
In Song Guogong's mansion, Xiao Yu listened to the report of his servant, his face muscles twitched, he winked, and turned away the servant, leaving Xiao Rui alone.
Xiao Rui rubbed the corner of his clothes, too nervous to look, "Dad, please listen to my explanation, rumors are all rumors..."
"Hey, Dalang. I can listen to your explanation, but where is Wei Zheng? Where is Li Jing? Will they listen to your explanation? Where is Your Majesty?" Xiao Yu sighed, hating that iron could not turn into steel.
"Dad, Wei Yanran and Wei Yanran are nothing. Don't let me find out who is spreading the rumor. I'll squeeze him out of here!" Xiao Rui gritted his teeth and swore.
Cheng Huaimo from Duke Su's Mansion sneezed for no reason and felt a chill on his back.
"The daughter of Wei Zheng is nothing. So, the granddaughter of Li Jing is indeed a real thing?" Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows.
Without waiting for Xiao Rui's explanation, Xiao Yu cursed angrily: "You kid, where did you get so much love? I told you before that even if you marry a princess, it's not impossible to have a concubine. We want Xu Tu "But you just couldn't hold it in anymore and made the city full of trouble."
"What? Are you afraid that we will arrange a concubine for you? Are you from a humble background? Looking for Wei Guogong Li Jing's granddaughter? Huh, although our Lanling Xiao family is not among the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, our status is not lower than them, so we just want to find you a concubine. Women with the fifth surname are no exception."
"The Duke of Wei, Li Jing, was born in the Li family of Longxi. His granddaughter is pretty good. If you like it, you can come back and tell your father secretly. Now, your majesty, let us know first. How can you ask your father to help you cover up your lies?"
A lie?
Xiao Rui was shocked, thinking that this was his biological father!
But thinking of the possible reactions of the emperor and Li Jing, Xiao Rui shivered and asked weakly: "Dad, how about I go out and hide? Saliva can kill people. If His Majesty or Duke Wei gets angry, Call the door, I, I..."
Xiao Yu stamped his feet and said sternly: "Asshole! This is the Duke of Song Dynasty. Who am I, Xiao Yu, afraid of? On the first day of the new year, can't I even protect my own son?"
Daddy is mighty! Xiao Rui couldn't help but give Xiao Yu a thumbs up.
"That's all. After all, you were the one who caused the trouble. We're in the wrong. Dalang, you'd better go out and hide. You can't go to the farm. Go to your Uncle Qin's house and don't let anyone find you." Xiao Yu came up with an idea and then memorized it. He turned around, looking distressed.
ah? ? ? What about protecting your son as promised on New Year's Day? Dad, you change so fast.
In the Li Zheng Hall, Emperor Li Er kicked over a bar stool, blowing his beard and scolding: "This bastard! I haven't settled the accounts with him for the last time I adopted concubine Ji. How about now, are you blatantly provoking the royal majesty? Come on? People, bring Xiao Rui to me!"
Queen Changsun didn't know what was going on and asked questions quickly. After Li Er described it, the Queen's face dropped.
I can't tell that Xiao Rui is so bold? I usually hurt him for nothing.
After a second thought, he suddenly had an idea, "Erlang, don't catch Xiao Rui yet. Let's pretend we don't know. After all, it's a big fuss, and our royal family's face will be tarnished. Since Xiao Rui is so bold and dares to provoke my red sister's granddaughter, Haha, let him suffer a little."
"We in Xiangcheng will get engaged first, and he will compete in martial arts later to find a bride. The marriage in Xiangcheng cannot be changed. You can try to ask someone about Sister Hongxia's tone. The dignified granddaughter of Duke Wei is willing to be a concubine. Do you want a room? If you want, we have no objection."
Li Er's eyes lit up, he looked at his wife, and the corners of his mouth curved: "Guanyin, you are really my daughter Zhuge. Haha, Mrs. Wei Guo can give pharmacists a headache, how can she let her granddaughter be a child? Xiao Rui Isn't this boy lawless? Let him know how powerful Mrs. Wei Guo is, I'm looking forward to seeing him deflated."
The green bamboo snake's mouth and the needle on the wasp's tail are not poisonous, but they are the most poisonous to a woman's heart! Even the eldest grandson of a virtuous queen is no exception. He is so mean-spirited, hiss... so vicious! Xiao Rui, you are lucky to be tricked by the Queen.
As expected, Wei Guo's wife Hongfu Nu had a hot temper. She heard that someone came to act as a lobbyist and said that she was willing to negotiate peace and let Xiao Prince Consort marry the Wei Guo Gong's granddaughter as his concubine.
Pooh! Concubine? My granddaughter is being treated as a baby? I skinned Xiao Rui alive, wasn't he just a cowardly and perverted consort? Killing him will also eliminate harm to Xiangcheng, and the queen will not blame him.
So Hongfu Nu went out in person and went to the Song Dynasty Duke's Mansion to raise troops to investigate.
