Xiao Baoshu didn’t have his sister’s innate skill. Moreover, he couldn’t just talk to the emperor without touching it, so…
He didn’t know that Emperor Yong Ping had already made a fuss about his overly detailed narration.
He even talked about his second uncle’s melodramatic life happily. Although Censor Xiao had been taught a lesson by Sikong Xiao, his obsession with Buddhism had not died. He had long passed him and gone to talk to Monk Zhihua.
Emperor Yong Ping expressed that he felt sorry for Sikong Xiao.
With such a valiant daughter like Xiao Baoxin and such an unruly son like Xiao Baoshu, it was already tiring enough. In the end, the second son of Xiao, who looked like a dog, was actually so unreliable. He was still addicted to Buddhism even when he was old.
Thinking back, Second Lord Xiao was also considered to be dutiful in his position as an imperial censor. He did not expect it to be so absurd after he retired.
“How’s your second uncle’s condition now? Why don’t… Give him something else to do?”Emperor Yong Ping probed.
Xiao Baoshu was stunned for a moment and quickly waved his hand.” “My second uncle’s mouth is still crooked. With his appearance, it’s not suitable for him to meet you. “I think that Censor Zhang is very responsible now. Speaking of which, because he is too responsible, he has offended many people. I heard that a few days ago, someone unloaded the wheels of his cattle cart. He even got someone to set fire to the firewood pile in the backyard. Although it was quickly extinguished, but…” They all said that they offended someone.”
Emperor Yong Ping, “Don’t you know that your words have blocked your second uncle’s official path?”
However, this was Xiao Baoshu.
It could be seen that this person was really not scheming. The emperor had already said that he wanted to praise his second uncle, but he could still reject it. He was also a talent. Moreover, he didn’t say that he wanted Xiao Er to be reinstated. There was no such thing. Zhang Dong was doing well.
Originally, Emperor Yong Ping had a wait-and-see attitude towards Zhang Dong, who was recommended by Xie Xian.
In the end, this Zhang Dong was really like he had been injected with chicken blood. He joined in on everyone he saw and offended everyone he should and shouldn’t offend. Even if such a talent stood on Xie Xian’s side and was a hardcore fan, he was still a self-destructing talent who attracted hatred.
“Zhang Dong is indeed responsible. “Emperor Yongping stroked his chin and felt sad in his heart.
Empress Xiao’s own father had even gone to visit him. It was because the imperial edict had been issued that he did not enter the capital. He had gone to visit three times in half a month. That was a proper relative of the Xie family, the Emperor’s father-in-law. He had decisively made him eat his teeth.
He was also a bastard. He was in charge of the heavens and the earth, and he was in charge of other people’s sh * t and fart. Nearly half of the civil and military officials had been involved in this.
The Prince of Huaiyang and the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng had a group fight at Yanque Lake. The next day, Zhang Dong intervened, saying that the royal family did not set an example for the officials and the people. Xiao Baoshu was a thorn in the side and also participated in the fight. If he had not forcefully suppressed it, saying that the problem of the royal family did not escalate, he would have been beaten up by Zhang Dong.
Xiao Baoshu didn’t stay for long and left after saying what he needed to say. In the end, the imperial edict was issued the next day, and Second Master Xiao was conferred the title of Guanglu Doctor. The meaning behind the edict was to reward him for his diligence in serving others.
Although he did not have any real power, it could be considered a good explanation for Second Master Xiao. After all, in the past, such glorious titles, even if they were empty titles, were the benefits of aristocratic families. Some of them were already official positions before their baby teeth even grew out.
The reward this time was undoubtedly a favor to the Xiao family. There were four men in the family, two of whom had real power. One was the prince consort of the princess, and the other was also a temporary salary. It could be said that the entire family was favored. Of course, the Xiao family also had fewer people.
However, although it was a favor, the timing was a little ambiguous.
They had just found out that Xiao Baoshu had been beaten up by Prince Huaiyang and had to apologize to others. In the end, the Emperor had given the Xiao family a favor with an imperial edict. If they wanted to show favor, there was no other time. They had to do it now. They were obviously supporting Xiao Baoshu.
King Huaiyang’s days were getting more and more uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Mrs. Wen had learned her lesson and acted humbly in all kinds of ways. He could also say that only under power would one submit. If he did not beat her up, she would not be honest. She dared to shout at him in the car. It was the result of living people spoiling her.
Look, it’s so good now. Three Obediences and Four Virtues. It’s simply too warm and thoughtful. Even with a crippled leg, the back house is arranged in an orderly manner.
Of course, Prince Huaiyang’s so-called orderly arrangement was to arrange the tasks of serving the girls in the back of the house in an orderly manner. He did not slack off when his leg was injured. He did not even get jealous occasionally. He was obedient and gentle.
Even in his dreams, he never thought that rumors would spread everywhere and scheme against him.
Emperor Yong Ping even spoke up for Xiao Baoshu, saying that Xiao Baoshu was young and did not handle things well.
The Prince of Huaiyang was smiling, but he was cursing in his heart.
The emperor who said this to Xiao Baoshu was even younger than Xiao Baoshu.
He had clearly suffered a loss, but he still let people talk about him. They said that he was a member of the royal family, Sikong Xiao was working hard for the country, and he bullied someone else’s son.
‘Damn it, he suffered a loss in secret, and the emperor is stabbing him in the back. At this time, you wouldn’t have said so much to promote Second Brother Xiao.’
Apologize. If an apology was useful, murderers wouldn’t even need to be sentenced!
However, with the Emperor’s guarantee, he had spoken up for Xiao Baoshu time and time again. Prince Huaiyang could not be tough. If he did not make things difficult for Xiao Baoshu, he would make things difficult for the Emperor.
Who asked him to have Brother Hei Li who had once defected to the Wang family, unlike the Xiao family who had a strong background and had been singing songs of victory all the way.
In his heart, besides scolding the Wang family, Xiao Baoshu, and even the Emperor, he also scolded Xie Xian and Sikong Xiao.
Those who could sell cursed.
How could he not accept Emperor Yong Ping’s apology?
Of course not. As for whether he was convinced or not, that was another matter.
Emperor Yong Ping had settled things with the Prince of Huaiyang. Every now and then, he would call Xiao Baoshu into the palace to educate him. The theme was to praise Xie Xian in all sorts of ways. Putting aside how violent Xiao Baoxin was, just by looking at Xie Xian’s deep love and the way he doted on his wife, it was definitely worth learning from Xiao Baoshu.
Xiao Baoshu knew very well who he was.
Why?
He was afraid that his sister would be bullied after marrying into the Xiao family, so he found another lover. Although he was not a fickle young man, the eldest princess of Xuan City was simply his dream partner, a like-minded person. He did not know what the emperor thought of him, but he still had to be high-profile. That was bound to be all kinds of promises.
He was just a little grumbling. His brother-in-law had the right to say this, and others had the right to say it. Emperor Yong Ping had many concubines on his left and right, and there were seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courtyards. Just those pregnant concubines were popping up like bamboo shoots after the rain. What right did he have to say this?
Horses don’t know how long their hair is, and oxen don’t know how crooked their horns are.
