In the eyes of people in the officialdom, it was an honor to be the prince's chaperone, but in reality it was very uncomfortable.
oh? Why do you say that?
There is no other reason than that there are too many rules in the palace, and they are complicated and beyond the reach of ordinary children.
As everyone knows, the palace is a place that pays attention to rules and etiquette. It requires you to stand and sit in the right posture. Even if you fart, you must also pay attention to whether the occasion is appropriate. If you do something inappropriate, you will be punished accordingly.
It can be seen from this that reading to the prince is not a job that is as free as a fairy.
Not to mention the cumbersome rules, sometimes you get bullied and criticized.
Even so, nobles from all sides still sharpened their heads and wanted to drill in. The purpose is to stand out one day in the future.
These people are quite open-minded.
Even if the companion is angry, it is better than those miserable people who become father-in-law after castration, right?
Therefore, as a human being, you must be content!
As the old saying goes, a thousand-year road turns into a river, and a daughter-in-law of many years becomes a mother-in-law. Once the prince grows up and gains power, the end of all hardships will not be far away.
However, the discomfort mentioned above did not happen to Qi Xiao.
He comes in and out very freely, goes his own way, and walks around the palace as if he were at home, without any restraint or discomfort.
As for the so-called etiquette and rules, they are just empty slogans.
So casual?
Yes!
But the problem is that no one dares to speak harshly.
Of course, this was all the result of Queen Su's secret connivance, otherwise, the child would have been returned long ago.
This kind of connivance directly encourages "unhealthy trends".
Qi Xiao, who lost his restraint, began to act more and more unscrupulously.
In the morning, he read a book for a while and accompanied the prince Li Hongyu to brag and talk nonsense; in the afternoon, he mainly enjoyed delicious food, including afternoon tea and snacks.
Every day, when the sun had just set to the west, he would leave early for various reasons.
The prince asked: My brother, where do you want to go?
Qi Xiao replied: These days, brother, I have met a few people nicknamed the Fourth Young Master of Beijing. Later, when I saw how upright they were, I took them on as my younger brothers. You say, as the most prestigious leader, can I not treat my younger brothers to a meal?
Is this the legendary Jianghu?
How interesting!
Li Hongyu's eyes flashed when he heard this, and his eyes were full of longing.
However, although he dared to play around in the palace, he did not dare to run out of the palace to play around. In this case, he could only look at his brother and sigh.
On this day, Qi Xiao behaved as usual
He bid farewell to his horseman Li Hongyu and prepared to go out to the palace to socialize.
But who would have thought that as soon as he walked out of the harem door, he met His Majesty the Emperor coming towards him.
According to the rules, when you see the emperor, you must pay a big courtesy.
However, Qi Xiao was worried that those showpieces would waste his precious time, so he chose to deliberately avoid them as if he didn't pay attention.
It means, we didn’t see it!
Since you didn’t see it, don’t you need to salute?
But, how to avoid it without noticing?
Hey!
Got an idea!
I saw him trotting all the way, moving to the roadside with a bang, and then he took off his pants and started watering a flower and grass.
Since his back was turned to the emperor, he seemed not to be paying attention in his posture, so he was taking advantage of his face.
However, Qi Xiao didn't know that his move had constituted a serious breach of royal etiquette!
However, the emperor chose to turn a blind eye and not care about it for the sake of his father.
There is no other way. Is it possible that you really want to give this kid a slap in the face regardless of your own identity?
Then it becomes a joke.
So, the emperor suppressed the anger in his heart, pressed his hand, and stopped the dragon chariot he was riding in.
Then, she waited patiently there for him to finish peeing.
As a result, Qi Xiao felt a little uncomfortable.
While holding the faucet, he kept peeking out of the corner of his eyes, only to find that the man in yellow clothes had never left.
I said, do you really like watching people make noises?
It’s not like you don’t have anything to see!
Qi Xiao despised this very much.
However, the little brother's savings space is always limited and cannot flow continuously. In about ten breaths, the reservoir begins to run out.
After emptying out, he had to turn his face.
"Huh? Have you finished peeing?"
"Uh...yes..."
"Since your three urgent needs are solved, come and talk to me for a while."
say?
This is not good!
My aunt once specifically told me not to get too close to the emperor, and not to tell the truth as if I trusted him, otherwise, I might get into trouble because of my unobtrusive speech.
In view of this, Qi Xiao declined politely and said: "Reporting to your majesty, I am unbearably hungry and can't wait to go home for dinner. If I chat with you for a while, I'm sure I will faint from hunger."
I said, how can you, this kid, talk?
It seems like how poor my palace is!
If I can't even take care of your meal, is it still called an imperial family?
If these words spread, wouldn't it damage my wisdom?
Thinking of this, the emperor made a decisive decision.
"Come here, please order the master of the royal kitchen to prepare a feast for this child to satisfy his hunger!"
"Here!"
ah! !
When Qi Xiao heard this, he was shocked and stunned.
Tsk tsk, I just said it casually, why are you so serious?
"Why are you still standing there? Come with me!"
"Ah...where to go?"
"Dinner!"
"oh……"
Regardless of whether Qi Xiao wanted to or not, in the end, he followed the emperor's dragon chariot to the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the door, a large table of delicious food was laid out.
"Eat quickly!"
"Thank you for your grace!"
"snort……"
The emperor drank wine and Qi Xiao drank tea. The two of them, one big and one small, sat up and down with the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, which made people laugh.
yes!
Who has ever seen a dignified king of a country entertain such a long-toothed boy like him?
While Qi Xiao was eating, he secretly observed the emperor's color.
He carefully discovered that the Holy Emperor hesitated to speak at least five times, but fortunately, these five times were brought to an end by his voracious appearance.
Looking at him like this, could he be trying to trick me?
Thinking of this, Qi Xiao's vigilance suddenly increased!
what to do?
The best way is not to leave the emperor any chance to speak.
"Your Majesty, why is such a delicious meal lacking only singing and dancing?"
"Ahem!"
This question shocked the emperor.
You kid, how old are you now that you already know how to appreciate singing and dancing?
How could I, Qi Aiqing, the most powerful person in the imperial court, teach an unlearned and incompetent person like you?
Fun, fooling around, hating poetry and books, loving singing and dancing, and actually spending a lot of money!
Isn't this a complete prodigal?
How could a person like this be the prince's companion?
The emperor grinded his teeth angrily, and finally choked out a sentence, "That's fine, I'll satisfy you. Come here, please sing and dance to entertain me!"
"Here!"
When the singing and dancing started, it became a little inconvenient to talk.
Can't hear clearly!
Looking at Qi Xiao, he actually seemed to be appreciating them very knowingly. He was only looking at the graceful figures of the dancers, but he didn't notice His Majesty's dark and solemn face at all.
The emperor sighed quietly and thought to himself: What a good boy, how dare you ignore me!
Today, I just want to compete with you. After the song and dance show is over, let’s see how I will settle the score with you!
