Rebirth: Hug Chu Guogong's Thigh Tightly

Seeing that the emperor's birthday is approaching, the palace is already busy decorating various parts of the palace.

Everyone outside the palace was also busy preparing birthday gifts for His Majesty.The fifth princess's affairs seemed to be blown away like mist in the wind.

The prince prepared several gifts for the emperor, but he could not make up his mind, so he asked Xia Keyu and Chu Yuan to give him advice.

Among the gifts prepared by the prince, one is a gold Ruyi handle with four words inlaid in turquoise - Longevity and Ruyi; the other is an authentic landscape painting by the famous Wang Qirui; and a Ten Thousand Years Jade Pot of Spring. .

The prince looked at Chu Yuan and Xia Keyu with some uneasiness.

He also knew that these things were valuable, but after all, they were things for viewing. Even if they were rare treasures, they would not be able to catch the eyes of the emperor.

Sure enough, Chu Yuan glanced at him with a pale expression and did not speak.

Instead, Xia Keyu asked, "I wonder what gifts the third prince has prepared this time?"

In the original memory of his previous life, at this birthday banquet, the gifts given by the third prince seemed to be quite favored by the emperor.

Therefore, after the birthday banquet, the third prince was entrusted with important tasks by the emperor.Soon after, news came that the prince had been defeated, and the third prince was appointed as the crown prince.

It is conceivable that this time the third prince's gift must have been delivered to the emperor's heart.Unfortunately, given the original situation at that time, it was impossible to know what gift the third prince had given him.

When the prince heard the sound, he just shook his head and said, "I don't know Rui'er. It seems that the people under Third Brother have been looking around recently."

Last time, the third prince's people poisoned Xia Keyu's restaurant, so Xia Keyu decided that this time he would repay the favor of the third prince at the emperor's birthday banquet.

Xia Keyu turned around and looked at the gifts again, and suddenly a good idea came to his mind.In the previous life, not long after the emperor's birthday banquet, a major event happened in the capital.

The origin of the story is actually very small. A rather slovenly old man was sued by the store for freeloading.I ordered a table of food but no money was given.

When the officials arrived, they put the old man in jail without any care, and locked him up for a few days to let him have a long memory.

Unexpectedly, this person has always claimed that he is familiar with the current His Majesty and asked people to send messages to him.

Such nonsense was naturally ignored by the jailer.This person was detained firmly for more than ten days.But after this man came out, he went directly to beat the golden bell and drum outside the Meridian Gate.

According to regulations, as long as someone hits the golden bell and drum, the responsible censor will go to deliver a message to His Majesty.

This man claimed that his surname was Dong, and he was an old acquaintance of His Majesty decades ago.The supervisory censor also thought this person was talking nonsense.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the emperor went to greet the man personally outside the Meridian Gate.

This incident shocked everyone in Beijing.

But it turned out that this person was an extremely important staff member of the emperor when he was still Prince Yong.This man was smart and resourceful. He supported the emperor in times of crisis many times and was extremely kind to the emperor.

After the emperor ascended the throne, this person waved his sleeves and left without leaving a word.This matter has always been a worry in the emperor's heart.

If His Highness the Crown Prince can invite this person over first and present it to the Emperor as a birthday gift, why worry about the Emperor being unhappy?

Thinking of this, Xia Keyu said leisurely to the prince: "These gifts from your highness are more ordinary after all."

The prince naturally knew this well and hurriedly said, "That's why Rui'er came here specially to ask my uncle and aunt to help me."

Xia Keyu said calmly: "I think giving someone a gift is nothing more than doing what they like. Your Highness, please go back and think about it again. If I have a good idea, I will tell Your Highness."

The prince had no choice but to leave.Chu Yuan, who was familiar with Xia Keyu, knew that Xia Keyu must have thought of some good idea, but it was not convenient to talk about it right now.

Xia Keyu is also worried about this matter. What worries her most now is that she has no one she can use.

After Chu Yuan left, she found her cousin Fan Yin.

These days, in order to prepare for the martial arts examination, Fan Yin worked hard on horseback and archery in the countryside every day, so naturally he came to the house less.

"Cousin, you came to see me, but what's the matter?" Fan Yin asked worriedly.

Xia Keyu thought up a plan to hide it from both sides, and she only said:
"There is an old man in his 50s imprisoned in the prison in Beijing. His surname is Dong. It's hard for Chu Guogong's people to come forward to fish him out, so he asked his cousin to help use his connections."

When the time comes, tell Duke Chu and the prince that it was the Fan family who fished it out.

It can be regarded as letting the prince inherit a favor from the Fan family and sending a smooth favor to the Fan family.

Although the Fan family in the previous life was never involved in the fight for heirs, the Fan family and the Ning family never had much trouble with each other in the court.After the third prince came to power in the previous life, more than 100 members of the Fan family were all beheaded.

In this life, the Fan family must tightly bind the prince, so that they can both prosper and suffer together, in order to have a chance to survive.

After listening to Xia Keyu's words, Fan Yin frowned and said, "Ke Yu, this old man doesn't know how to kill people, does he? The Fan family has family rules and must not indulge in personal favors or interfere in public affairs."

Xia Keyu was a little stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled: "Cousin, what are you thinking? Can I be this kind of person? Just send someone to check. It is definitely a trivial matter."

Fan Yin sent someone to do the work dubiously.

In less than half a day, a sloppy old man was picked up.This man was thin, wearing a shabby gray robe, and his gray and dry hair was as messy as a handful of hay.

In addition, he had been in prison for a long time and it was hot in summer, so this person had an unpleasant rancid smell.

Qing Ya and several little maids couldn't help but cover their noses.

Fan Yin looked at Xia Keyu strangely, and whispered in his ear:

"This man kept chattering along the way, claiming that he was an old acquaintance with His Majesty. I looked at him and it seemed like there was something wrong. Cousin, are you sure this is the person you are looking for?"

When Fan Yin muttered, the man's ears moved slightly. Naturally, he heard Fan Yin's words, but he looked at ease.

Xia Keyu really shook his head and said respectfully to the old man: "If you don't mind, old man, you can go to the house to take a shower and change clothes first, and have a full meal."

Old Man Dong looked at Xia Keyu suspiciously and asked, "Little girl, do you know me?"

Xia Keyu pursed his lips and smiled: "The old gentleman didn't say that he is an old acquaintance of His Majesty. I guess he is not an ordinary person."

Old Man Dong didn't expect that someone would believe what she said, so he smiled heartily and said, "You little girl is interesting."

This is what is left.

Xia Keyu hurriedly asked the little maids to take the old man to take a bath and asked the kitchen to prepare some home-cooked meals.He did not forget to specially warn: "You must be polite to this old gentleman."

Although everyone was confused when they saw Xia Keyu's attitude, they still listened to her words and were extremely polite to the old man named Dong.
