Uncle Nine

Chapter 116 Master, Stop Pretending

Liang Yiru closed his eyebrows appropriately, bowed his head respectfully and remained silent.

Zhao Shuo smiled, "Li Huan, let her come over."

"Yes." Li Huan nodded and stepped back to leave.

Xia Yu was gnawing chicken legs in the room, and she didn't plan to join in the fun, let alone with the emperor there, there must be some miscellaneous rules.She is the most impatient with those rules, she might as well nest in the room and eat her own chicken legs at ease.

"Clean up, let's go!" Li Huan entered the door.

Xia Yu frowned, "Where are you going?"

"The emperor summoned me." Li Huan squeezed a towel and handed it to her, "Wipe your mouth and leave quickly."

Her lips were slightly pursed, and while wiping her lips, Xia Yu couldn't help but asked with a smile, "The emperor—what do you want from me?"

Li Huan raised his eyebrows, "You should ask yourself that."

Xia Yu thought to herself, although it is said that the emperor is the emperor after all, she is a girl from the countryside and hangs around the streets all day long.He couldn't get on the stage, so naturally he didn't dare to meet a big man like the emperor.

Zhao Shuo and Dongfang Yue are the biggest officials Xia Yu has ever met.

And now comes an emperor—

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and follow me." Li Huan turned and went out.

Xia Yu was startled, "Can I not go?"

Li Huan shook his head, "If the emperor summons you, if you don't go, you will be against the order. If you don't obey the order, you will lose your head."

Hearing this, Xia Yu rubbed her neck, followed Li Huan obediently, and walked towards the garden, "Master Li, what do you think the emperor wants me to do? I just got out of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and I don't want to go back."

"Whether to go or not, it's not up to you, nor to me. You have the ability, go and talk to the emperor!" Li Huan led the way, went directly to the center of the banquet, bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, Xia Yu is here .”

Xia Yu scratched the back of her neck, and Zhao Shuo narrowed her eyes.

"Slave sees the emperor." She didn't learn the etiquette taught by the nanny earlier.Apart from kowtowing, she doesn't know the etiquette of paying homage.Ordinary people kowtow to see the official, so she kowtows.

Ye Eryu snorted and chuckled, Zhao Yan sighed and shook her head.

Zhao Lu was extremely happy, "Get up, let me see if it's you."

Xia Yu curled her lips, stood up, and looked up at Zhao Lu in front of her.

"It really is you." Zhao Lu walked down directly, holding Xia Yu's shoulder blades, "Third brother, good boy. I didn't expect that I just saved you when I hit you wrongly. How do you plan to repay me?"

It was originally a joke, but Liang Yiru's face changed.

"Your Majesty?" Liang Yiru bowed and knelt on the ground, "Ah Yu doesn't know the rules, if the Emperor wants to blame, I will accept it willingly."

Zhao Lu was stunned, and then he helped Liang Yiru, "Second brother said nonsense, the three of us swore to the emperor and the empress. Back then, Taoyuan was married three times, and the three of us were also three sworn brothers. I am the emperor. Joke!"

Liang Yiru frowned, turned his head to stare at Xia Yu's bewildered expression, and finally relaxed a little from his tense facial expression, "Ah Yu, are you alright?"

"It's okay." Xia Yu smiled, "Can the emperor really recognize us two common people as brothers?"

"One word from a gentleman, one whip." Zhao Lu patted Xia Yu's shoulder with a smile.

Ye Eryu looked at Zhao Yan with a livid face, and could hardly believe the words he heard tonight.The emperor is the emperor, how can the high-ranking Ninth Five-Year Lord be with these people?Also called brothers?If it is spread out, where will the majesty of the emperor be placed?Where is the royal glory?
Zhao Yan took a deep breath, "It's a good thing for the emperor to be sworn brothers, but tonight is the emperor's uncle's family banquet. The emperor only cares about the past and forgot about us?"

"Second and third brothers, please sit down quickly, I will not return with you today." Zhao Lu was delighted, smiling like a childish child.His emperor, in the eyes of everyone, is always a child king, a puppet emperor who can never be independent.

Because the power of the imperial court has never fallen into his hands.

Sitting next to Zhao Shuo, Xia Yu felt a little uneasy when she heard the sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra next to her.Pursing her lips, raising her eyebrows, the corner of her eyes quietly fell on Zhao Shuo who was beside her.

This Prince Rui, who was usually thoughtful and thoughtful, was unusually quiet today.

From the time she came in until she sat down, he didn't say a word.

What was even more strange was that Xia Yu actually saw Zhao Shuo pour a glass of wine into his own cup.

"Master, don't you know how to drink?" Xia Yu frowned.

Zhao Shuo glanced at her coldly, "If you don't drink, it doesn't mean you don't know how to drink." After saying that, he drank the alcohol in his glass in front of everyone.

Xia Yu was taken aback, what happened to him?
Ye Eryu pursed her lips, and gave Xia Yu a hard look.

Xia Yu frowned, what happened to Ye Eryu?She wasn't the one who made Zhao Shuo drink, so why should she "chase" herself with such cruel eyes?The most difficult thing to understand is a woman's heart, and now even the heart of the man next to her is like a needle in the sea.

It's better to be a nerd if you drink your head down, sitting alone in silence, it's a bit boring, but it's also reassuring.

"Third brother, both you and the second brother are from Daizhou Prefecture? What are the characteristics of this Daizhou Prefecture?" Zhao Lu was full of interest.

Xia Yu smiled, "Characteristic? Am I not unique?"

Zhao Lu seldom laughed twice, "That's right."

"Your Majesty, I offer you a toast." Xia Yu held up the glass, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving me from prison."

"I don't like to hear that." Zhao Lu shook his head.

Xia Yu pursed her lips, "Thank you, brother."

Zhao Lu nodded and smiled, and the two had a great time drinking together.

In front of Zhao Yan and Ye Eryu, and in front of so many slaves, Xia Yu and Zhao Lu called each other brothers, one can imagine what kind of disturbance this matter would cause.

Zhao Yan kept silent and coughed a few times.

The emperor's intentions were so obvious that Ye Eryu couldn't see it, but it was impossible for Zhao Yan not to see it.After two bites of food, Zhao Yan slowly raised her head to look at Zhao Shuo who was opposite, trying to see the clue from Zhao Shuo's face.

But is Zhao Shuo someone who reveals easily?
On a calm and unwavering face, there was nothing else except the blush after drinking a glass of wine.

"Third brother, now the second brother is with me, what about you? Would you like to enter the palace with me?" After drinking for three rounds, Zhao Lu asked half drunk and half awake.

As soon as these words came out, Xia Yu happened to have half a sip of wine stuck in her throat, and instantly choked and coughed.

Enter the palace?

Entering Prince Rui's mansion is a big deal, almost turning the world upside down.

Enter the palace?

One day, he will be regarded as a evildoer who will bring disaster to the country, and then he will be chased and killed all the way, right?
No no no!

You can't enter the palace even if you are killed.

Xia Yu made up her mind, "Brother, I am, I am from Prince Rui's residence, my lord—"

"I don't know what the emperor thinks—" Zhao Lu naturally knew what Xia Yu meant, so he turned around and asked Zhao Shuo.

The sound stopped abruptly, and everyone froze.When did Prince Rui fall asleep on the desk?Looking at it like this, it seems that he has drunk a lot and is not lightly drunk.Prince Rui is known for his wisdom, so he never allows himself to be unconscious for a moment.

What's the matter today?
Xia Yu crouched in front of Zhao Shuo and watched for a long time, as if drunk.

Zhao Lu didn't believe it, so he hurried over to find out, "Uncle Huang? Uncle Huang?" He pushed and shoved twice, but Zhao Shuo was still sleepy, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground with a bang.Such a movement, still unaware.

Zhao Yan coughed twice, "Brother Huang, Uncle Huang is drunk, don't bother him. In Prince Rui's Mansion, Uncle Huang is the master. We are guests, and guests do as they please. Brother Huang won't have any objections, right? ?”

"It's a pity that Uncle Huang is asleep, otherwise I can ask him if he can take you into the palace." Zhao Lu regretted and looked at Xia Yu helplessly.

Xia Yu smiled, "It's okay, it's fine, I'm here. When the emperor's elder brother is free, you can come out of the palace to play with me."

Zhao Lu nodded, "That's the only way to go."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Lu stood up, "It's time for me to return to the palace."

Xia Yu cupped her hands, "There will be a period later."

Zhao Lu smiled, this kid is really—cute and honest, he is not bound by those worldly red tape inside and outside the palace, but he lives freely, full of youth and enthusiasm that should be at this age.

These, he will never have in this life.

"Li Huan, take good care of little Huangshu." Zhao Lu took a deep breath.

Li Huan nodded and saluted, "Send off the emperor, send off the princess."

"Yan'er, follow me back to the palace." Zhao Lu left with a flick of his sleeves.

Ye Eryu saluted, "Eryu sent the emperor and the princess out of the mansion." After speaking, he followed Zhao Yan and helped Zhao Yan to the gate of the mansion.

Liang Yiru paused, and looked back at Xia Yu, but kept a straight face.Xia Yu made a face at Liang Yiru, signaling Liang Yiru to rest assured.Liang Yiru couldn't help chuckling, and said lightly, "Take care of yourself."

Xia Yu nodded, "Don't worry."

With a light sigh, Liang Yiru followed Zhao Lu and left Prince Rui's Mansion.

The originally lively garden suddenly became quiet again.

Xia Yu returned to her seat, sat next to Zhao Shuo again, stared at Zhao Shuo's face with closed eyes while resting her chin on one hand, stretched out one hand and poured the wine slowly, "Master, don't pretend. , I use it too much. It’s okay to deceive the emperor, but they can’t deceive me. Now that everyone is gone, your play should be over.”

Zhao Shuo still did not open his eyes.

The aroma of the wine overflowed, and Xia Yu drank the wine in the glass, "Good wine. Well, I didn't disobey you this time, and you were here, so I drank. And, I wasn't drunk."

"Master, don't you don't drink? Why did you relapse tonight?" Xia Yu curled her lips, carefully moved her face towards him, stared at his enviable long eyelashes, and admired him carefully.

This guy's facial features are excellent, even if he disassembled them, they are impeccably perfect.

In the dim candlelight and the rich aroma of wine, the man in front of him was so beautiful that his heart beat faster.It turns out that just watching him quietly like this is actually a pleasing thing.

The next moment, the peach blossom pupils opened suddenly, and his lips pressed against her with lightning speed.
