Help!The icy grandpa has moved my heart

Chapter 245

The two were a little surprised when they heard the result.

Pei Ji'an didn't expect that he only narrowly beat Xiao Shiqing, and it was the result of his "giving way".

Xiao Shiqing didn't expect that there would be a difference of one due to this reason.

At this time, the emperor was also a little difficult to deal with by everyone. There was a lot of noise in the audience, so he raised his hand to make people quiet, patrolled around, and then pointed out questions.

"Third brother, just now you and fourth child were discussing this matter just now? You might as well say it out for everyone to listen to."

The third child was the third prince, and when he was suddenly named, he didn't panic, and stood up to explain his point of view without haste.

"The so-called "God has the virtue of good life, and people have a heart of compassion", my son thinks that now is just hunting and entertainment, not a time of life and death. Facing a pregnant beast, the unborn cub should also be born once. .”

The emperor said "hmm" without giving a speech, and then questioned the princes one by one.

What this means, many people know well.

Now that the position of the crown prince has not been decided, everything the emperor does must have his consideration.

The princes did not dare to take it lightly, and they were very cautious. Up to now, there are only two answers in front of them, one is to agree with Pei Shizi, and the other is to agree with Xiao Shizi.

Just now the third prince agreed with Xiao Shizi and disagreed with Pei Shizi, and his father did not make a clear statement. Everyone couldn't guess what his father was thinking for a while, but to be on the safe side, it would be safer to follow the third prince's answer. After all, father Not angry.

As a result, many princes finally expressed their opinions with the same meaning as the third prince. The central idea is that they should be kind,

Whether it is the soldiers who are fighting outside or the princes who want to ascend the throne, they must have a certain amount of kindness, otherwise the emperor will not be at ease with a heartless and unjust person, and he will not dare to let such a person ascend the throne.

After hearing the statements of these princes, the emperor just nodded to show that he heard it, and still did not express his opinion, and then turned his attention to the eldest prince and the seventh prince. Just now the other princes were scrambling to express their opinions, but these two were the only ones who did not fight or snatch.

"Boss, Lao Qi, what's your attitude?"

The eldest prince and the seventh prince looked at each other, and then the seventh prince made a humility gesture to the elder prince, the elder first.

The eldest prince also accepted his feelings and was not humble, "Returning to my father, my son thinks that no matter what the reason is, the rules are the rules, and it is reasonable and reasonable to act within the rules."

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, but still did not express his opinion, but focused on the Seventh Prince.

The Seventh Prince said, "I agree with the elder brother's words, the rules are established from the beginning, if the rules are broken today for this reason, the rules can be broken for other reasons tomorrow, and in this way, making the rules becomes meaningless .”

After listening to the seventh prince's words, the emperor stroked his beard and pondered.

For a while, everyone couldn't figure out what the emperor meant, and didn't know which side he was on.

Fortunately, the emperor did not ponder for too long, he quickly looked at Pei Shizi and Xiao Shizi.

Just when everyone thought that he would test these two, the emperor said something that surprised everyone.

"Xiao Aiqing, I judge you to lose this round, are you convinced?"

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar.

This is the final conclusion!
Xiao Shiqing came out, bowed his hands and saluted, "I am humbled."

The emperor nodded and ordered someone to deliver the things to Prince Pei.

I saw the tray held in the eunuch's hand, which contained a piece of jade Ruyi.

The land of color and luster is a rare treasure at first glance, no wonder the emperor said it was a good thing.

However, at this time, everyone's thoughts are not on the gift, but the emperor is biased towards the eldest prince and the seventh prince, or in other words, that's what he thought at the beginning. numb.

For a while, those who lost the bet, including the prince, felt very complicated in their hearts.

After Pei Ji'an received the gift, he curled his lips slightly, and made a gesture of cupping his hands towards Xiao Shiqing: "Accept."

Xiao Shiqing didn't speak.

At this point in the matter, there may still be many people who haven't figured out the emperor's meaning, but as the powerful ministers around the emperor, both Pei Ji'an and Xiao Shiqing have figured out the emperor's meaning.

The rules are set by the emperor himself, and asking him to overthrow it doesn't mean slapping him in the face?

You are not joking.

Xiao Shiqing didn't think too much at the moment when he was released, but those princes who were on the side of Prince Xiao, they didn't really speak for Prince Xiao, they just took the opportunity to show their kindness.

However, there are many ways to show kindness, how to show your kindness by slapping the emperor?That's not kindness, that's stupidity.

The foolish princes were filled with regret.

When Pei Ji'an walked past Xiao Shiqing, he said softly: "I would like to admit defeat."

Xiao Shiqing was expressionless, but his eyes casually looked in a certain direction.

Qu Fulan was showing a happy smile because of this result, she had no choice but to dislike Xiao Shiqing so much, she really didn't want him to appear by her side again.

She was chatting and laughing with Mrs. Pei, when she suddenly felt a strong gaze, subconsciously looked over, and met Xiao Shiqing's probing gaze.

The smile on the corner of Qu Fulan's mouth froze a bit, and he quickly looked away.

On the way back, Mrs. Pei followed the eldest princess's car. The two of them are best friends, so they probably wanted to talk about themselves.

Qu Fulan was quite comfortable riding in the carriage by herself, but not for too long, because she soon heard voices coming from outside, and then the door curtain was lifted.

Who else is it not Pei Ji'an?

Qu Fulan was very surprised, "Why did the prince come in?"

Pei Ji'an raised his eyebrows, "I can't get in the Pei family's carriage?"

Qu Fulan didn't mean that, he obviously had his own carriage.

However, he was right, this was Pei's carriage, and he was free to come and go.

As soon as Pei Ji'an sat down, he took out Yu Ruyi from his bosom and put it in Qu Fulan's hand, "Here, I didn't even have time to give you a gift when you were as old as Ji before."

Qu Fulan hurriedly returned it, "Your Majesty, it's better to keep this thing, I'm holding it and it's hot."

The things that the emperor had just rewarded fell into her hands, and she really didn't dare to accept them.

Pei Ji'an said with some amusement, "It's just a jade pendant, why are you so nervous? The emperor gave it to me, and it's mine. It's up to me what to do with it."

Qu Fulan still shook his head, "It's too ostentatious, if your son really wants to give me Jiji gift, you should give him something else instead."

Pei Ji'an saw that she was afraid of not being able to make it, so she took back the jade pendant and played with it, "That being the case, I will make up for the rest later, but my birthday is coming, what gift do you plan to give me?"

Qu Fulan paused for a moment, then remembered that his birthday was indeed approaching. Even with someone like Pei Shizi, the birthday banquet was nothing more than a celebration for his family and then giving gifts.

"What gift does your son want?" In fact, Qu Fulan complained in his heart, who would take the initiative to ask others for a birthday present?
Pei Ji'an raised the corners of her lips, and said the answer that she had already thought of in her heart, "A pouch, you embroidered it yourself."

Qu Fulan was stunned, and then subconsciously said, "I'm not good at embroidery, should I change to another?"

Pei Ji'an only thought she was being polite. Back then at the palace banquet, the purse in Xiao Shiqing's arms was extremely delicate.

"It's okay, it's mainly my heart."
