Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 115 You Are The First In This World

"Of course." Zhao Xiwei's outstretched hand was still in a stalemate, with no intention of giving in.

The things belonged to her, so they should have been returned to her. If the things don't come now, why can't she leave the evidence of the other party?

Li Xuanye nodded: "That makes sense."

He looked at Zhao Xiwei: "It's just that I went out in a hurry today and didn't bring anything valuable with me."

He casually took off a jade pendant from his waist and threw it on the desk: "How about this?"

Zhao Xiwei glanced at it and saw that the jade pendant was crystal clear, warm and lustrous, so he knew it was expensive.

However, when I think of my hairpin, I become stubborn: his things are priceless, but my own things are also priceless!
Thinking of this, she picked up the jade pendant.

But he found that it was not an ordinary jade pendant, with Li Xuanye's name engraved on the front and a dragon pattern representing the crown prince's identity on the back.

Zhao Xiwei held the jade pendant with three fingers, and suddenly felt that his arm sank, as if he was holding a heavy bomb.

She looked at Li Xuanye with some regret.

Li Xuanye stood with his hands behind his back, his tone was so calm that no emotions could be heard, but Zhao Xiwei felt a chill in his neck: "In this world, you are the first one who dares to ask Gu for something."

"I……"

Without waiting for her to say anything, he said again: "You asked for this jade pendant from Gu. If it is lost or damaged, it will be a death penalty."

"..." Zhao Xi looked at the man in front of him bitterly, and suddenly felt that he had been planted in the same pit twice...

I don't want to bring back my things, and I have such a time bomb in my hand...

Li Xuanye said again: "Since you have taken Gu's jade pendant, don't lose Gu's face when you do things in the future."

Zhao Xiwei was even more shocked.

This is not a jade pendant, but a sword hanging over his head.

Li Xuanye's voice is undeniable: "Remember, no matter what happens in the future, you are not allowed to bow your head to others. After all, you are a dignified daughter of the Xiangfu, how can you invite someone to eat and drink for such a trivial matter?"

The last sentence contained a bit of blame.

Zhao Xi stared blankly at the person in front of him, his expression was still so calm and majestic, his tone of voice was still so cold and indifferent, and he couldn't distinguish the slightest emotion or emotion.

Seeing her blank face, Li Xuanye asked in a low voice, "What? Do you think Cui Yutang is more reliable than Gu?"

"I..." Zhao Xiwei finally came to his senses, shaking his head again and again, "I just feel, feel..."

She struggled to utter a sentence against her will: "I feel that Your Highness is really a good person!"

Without saying a word, I suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Her hairpin is with him, and his jade pendant is with her...

No matter how I think about it, I feel ambiguous...

No no no, that's not the case!
She just, just wants to get back her own things!

Li Xuanye watched her cheeks slowly turn pink, got up and walked to the window, quietly watching the scenery outside the window.

Zhuque Street is adjacent to the West Market, and the solemn government office is only one door away from the bustling market.

The bamboo curtains are half rolled up, the sunlight is dappled, and the magnolia branches outside the window are swaying shyly and playfully in the cold wind.

Officials dressed in red and purple passed by from time to time in the corridor, their steps were brisk and humble, and there were occasional whispers, which were just official exchanges.

He always felt that this imperial city was very boring, filled with things, besides power, it was responsibility, but for the first time, he felt that this place could also have the atmosphere of human fireworks.

However, such a good mood was broken by a voice, "Your Highness, can I ask you a question?"

"Say."

Holding the jade pendant slightly, Zhao Xiwei asked carefully and solemnly, "Your Highness, with this jade pendant, can I solve most of the troubles I encounter?"

"of course."

Zhao Xiwei's expression brightened, and he hurriedly asked: "Does that mean that all officials must obey orders when they see this jade pendant?"

Li Xuanye looked at her: "What?"

"Well... I just want to ask..." After spending half a day alone with Li Xuanye, Zhao Xiwei gradually felt that he was not so majestic and scary, and his words became less restrained and nervous, "Can I take Take this jade pendant to visit Third Aunt?"

Li Xuanye raised his eyebrows.

Zhao Xiwei immediately felt that something was wrong.

Sure enough, Li Xuanye turned back to the desk, sat down with his robe lifted, looked at her with a businesslike attitude, and refused without hesitation: "No."

Zhao Xiwei made the last effort: "Hucao said that there was something wrong with my third aunt's household registration, but after two days of investigation, she couldn't find out why. She was a weak woman who had been away from home for too long. I'm also afraid that she will be too frightened..."

She bit her lips lightly, and said very sincerely: "So can you ask Your Highness for mercy, let me meet my third aunt..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted: "Hu Cao's choice of people naturally has the basis of Hu Cao, if you just treat him as a prince and treat the court's laws as empty, then how will the government agencies enforce the law impartially? "

Seeing his resolute attitude, Zhao Xiwei had no choice but to bow his head and accept the crime: "It's the minister who was abrupt, and Your Highness taught me the lesson."

As if feeling that his attitude was a little too indifferent, Li Xuanye paused, and then said: "If you are really worried about Mrs. Sun, you might as well go through the information earlier, and Hu Cao will let her go if she confirms that the household registration file is correct. .”

"Yes. My Majesty, I would like to thank Your Highness for your advice." Zhao Xi bowed his knees slightly, then turned around and hugged a stack of documents, sat down by the window, and plunged into the mountain of books.

Li Xuanye glanced at it quite unexpectedly.

As the sun set, she sat quietly by the window holding a book, and when the sunset rose, a layer of light pink luster appeared on her jade-like side face, just like a graceful branch of cardamom, a clean and transparent fragrance. beauty.

Unlike other people's one-on-one look-up method, she looks up very quickly.

She picked up a pen and dipped in the ink, and first wrote down the numbers of the books one by one on the paper. After a while, the two tall piles of books were all marked.Then she quickly slid her fingers across the spine of the book, and finally proofread ten lines at a glance in the form of spot checks.

Before he knew it, the sky had already darkened. Zhao Xi pinched his sore fingers slightly, and seeing that there was only half a stack of documents left, he let out a long sigh of relief. Just as he was about to be lazy, he heard a few taps, and Li Xuan Ye flipped through a roster, tapped his fingers on the desk, and said without raising his head, "Continue."

Zhao Xiwei had no choice but to change to a comfortable sitting position, and continued to bury it in the pile of books.

It was so easy to check all the information in the room, but the household registration file of the third wife was still not found.

Zhao Xiwei was surprised, but also a little rejoiced: If the file can't be found, does that mean that the third wife is safe?
While thinking, the bamboo curtain was gently lifted, and Tang Heng walked in with a bow, and was a little surprised to see that Zhao Xiwei had finished all the documents.

"How much is left?" Li Xuanye asked.
