Chapter 293 Sudden Visit to Zhao Xi
Lord Bao returned to Kaifeng Mansion, and then everyone quickly gathered around. Lord Bao said, "Today we are going to visit, Long Tubo, Zhao Yang!"
Bei Xia said, "Is it important to visit Zhao Yang?"
Lord Bao nodded, "Yes, but we can't visit Zhao Yang directly. Although this person is not very ostentatious, I don't know how his heart is. I'm afraid our sudden visit will cause his suspicion, so I decided to visit King Yanting first, Zhao Xi, Zhao Xi is the long-year-old nephew today, no He is not a nephew. He usually likes piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but he is not sociable. He usually doesn't go out much. It can be said that he doesn't enter the door. His house is not big. Because nothing has anything to provoke him, he is also alone and doesn't care about the world. Let's go to his place first and feel it by the way. Take a look at Zhao Yang's movement!"
Everyone agrees, so who will go this time? Lord Bao took the four chivalrous men in the southeast and northwest and left Wang Renwei in Kaifeng Mansion, plus several messengers in the mansion. Of course, he did not wear court uniforms, but in casual clothes. Nine people, also brought some gifts, came to Zhao Xi's house. There were several people on duty standing in front of the house, a total of four people, were taking a nap here. What? Nothing happened. Although it's winter now, it's not very cold and swaying. At a glance, several people came along the road, as if they were carrying something in their hands, as if they were some gifts. When they came close, they didn't know who they were. The man said, didn't they even know Lord Bao? This has to be said. These people usually don't go anywhere. They just heard of Lord Bao's name, but they have never seen it. Moreover, Zhao Xi and Bao Shirong basically have nothing to do with each other, and they don't know each other. These people on duty quickly came forward, "Who are you looking for? What's the matter?" These people were really polite. Lord Bao nodded, "May I ask Prince Zhao Xi to be in the house? I came here specially!"
"Oh, you are visiting our prince. The prince is in it. How about painting? But I don't know who you are? I'll go in and let you know!"
Lord Bao smiled and said, "My name is Bao Shirong. These people are all my followers!"
"Oh, you call it a bag..." What? Are you the governor of Kaifeng Mansion, a scholar of Longtuge University, and Bao Shirong of the Yipin Dynasty?
"Yes, it's the old man. I still hope that several people will come inside to inform and say that Bao Shirong has come to visit the prince!"
"Okay, okay, Lord Bao, please wait outside for a moment, and we will go inside to report it immediately!"
After saying that, he pushed the door, went in and ran into it like a smoke. Although the royal palace is not big, it has everything. Because he likes flowers and trees, Zhao Xi usually raises flowers and plants, plants, and doesn't care about the world. Today, he is painting in the back garden, drawing a peony picture, and is painting. Next to him was his wife, that is, the princess. She was very virtuous and really carefree. The husband and wife were there, and there were several maids standing next to them. At this time, the person on duty ran over. Seeing that the prince was focusing on painting, he did not dare to disturb her. This move was discovered by the princess. The princess's surname was Li , Princess Li took a look, isn't this the treasure guarding the door? Why is her face full of sweat? What's the matter? She didn't want to disturb the prince. She said in her heart that there was something. If I could deal with it, I would try not let the prince know. She thought so and came to Dabao, "Dabao, what's wrong? Panic, isn't there something wrong?"
Dabao wiped the sweat on his face, "Madam, there are several people outside this door and said they were going to visit our prince!"
"Oh? Is there such a thing? Our prince usually has nothing to do with others. Who came to visit the prince today?
"Yes," Dabao was quite mysterious and looked around. "Yes, Lord Bao of Kaifeng Mansion also took a few attendants and took some gifts, saying that he came to visit our prince specially. You can see this..."
The princess frowned and said to her heart that it's winter, and it's indeed the end of the year, but there is still some time left. Why did Lord Bao come to my house today and take some gifts to pay a New Year call? Princess Li didn't understand. She thought about it for a while. Oh, I heard that Lord Bao was ordered to investigate the rebellion case. She had just returned to the court. How could she suddenly come to our house? It doesn't have anything to do with the investigation, right? Our prince is usually with me and doesn't find that he has done anything bad. I haven't done anything bad. Is it possible that other people in the house have done bad things and were discovered by him? The more Li thinks about this matter, the more he feels that something is, the more uneasy he is. He is afraid of something wrong. At that time, nothing happened. They were all safe and basically didn't go out. Even if they were invited, they didn't go out much. Anyway, gifts were delivered, but no one never went, nor did they communicate with this senior official or communicate with the powerful man. They should not come to you for anything, Princess Hu Si Thinking wildly, he also saw sweat. Dabao looked at it. The princess thought for a long time. Why didn't there be any movement? Lord Bao was waiting at the door. His face sank down, the gull moved, and the head was gone. Why didn't you talk? Dabao relied on courage, "Princess! Princess's wife? What should we do about this?
After asking this question, Princess Li came to her senses, "Ah... Hurry up, the prince and I will greet you in person right away!"
Dabao went back to restore his life first. Princess Li came to Zhao Xi. Zhao Xi is not very old this year. He is in his thirties, which is just a bloody year, but he is no longer a little masculine by these flowers and plants...
"Your Majesty, how do you feel about painting today?"
Zhao Xi drew a few strokes, raised his head and looked at his wife, "What's wrong? Madam, look at you sweating. Come on, I'll wipe your sweat!"
As she spoke, she wiped the sweat of Princess Zhao with her sleeves. The princess said, "Your Majesty, someone from the door just came to report that there was a visitor outside the door. Shall we go out to pick it up?"
"Oh? There are guests visiting, and I don't have any friends on weekdays. How can anyone come to my house? Who is coming?"
"Yes, Lord Bao of Kaifeng Mansion!"
Zhao Xi felt that his body shook. What's the matter? He knew that Lord Bao had nothing to do and went to the Three Treasure Hall. Since he came, there must be something wrong. Did I do something? No, why can't I remember? I don't even go out of my house at all. How can something happen? Zhao Xi thought and sweated. Mrs. Li saw it out, "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with you?"
"Alas~! To tell the truth from my wife, I was just thinking that I had done something wrong, but it flashed by. I really didn't do anything. I just planted flowers and grass in my house. I was really worried just now. Now it's okay. Don't do anything wrong and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Since Lord Bao is here, let's hurry up. It's the best way to greet him!"
Madam nodded. The two quickly stopped all the guys in their hands, tidied up their clothes, and came to the door. At a glance, there were several people standing there, all of them. The leader was Bao Shirong. He knew Bao Shirong. When he went to court, he sometimes went there, but he usually went there, so he also After several meetings, even if he went to court, he didn't talk much. Basically, he didn't say anything. When he saw Lord Bao, he quickly came out and greeted him with a smile, "Oh, what wind blew Lord Bao to me today? Xiao Wang greeted him late. I hope Lord Bao will forgive me!"
Very polite, Lord Bao quickly returned it with a courtesy, "Oh, my lord, you're welcome. I have just returned to the capital and rested for a few days. I'm free today. I'm here to visit you. The prince won't treat my reckless crime!"
"Where, Lord Bao is a rare guest. If he can come to my little royal palace, I will be flattered. Today, my royal palace is really glorious. Hurry up, please come inside!"
Lord Bao waved his hand and asked someone to present the gift. What kind of gift is it? In fact, there is nothing, just some local specialties, such as Cangzhou specialties, Tai'an specialties, etc., which are not very valuable. Zhao Xi did not dare to accept them at first. Bao Shirong said, "Your Majesty, don't be modest. Although you and I don't have any contact with each other, the prince has a deep impression on me. These are not only It only represents me, and this is also a little meaning of the emperor, do you understand?
Zhao Xi was so moved that he finally accepted the gift, "Thank you for your kindness and Lord Bao for your concern!"
Everyone entered the palace hand in hand. Lord Bao and other knights looked around. The scenery was pleasant, with flowers and green grass, which were very eye-catching. In addition, there were bursts of fragrance. Lord Bao couldn't help admiring, "The prince's house is really unique. I have a couplet, flowers and plants, green Yin, fragrant array, relaxed and happy, can the prince have a couplet?
As soon as Zhao Xi heard it, oh, test me, well, he is also a good poet. After thinking a little, "My lower couplet: Yingying, swallows, red and green, softly curling, refreshed!"
After saying that, everyone laughed and entered the hall!!!
