Chapter 601

December 25, Taihe hall.

Xiao Zimu was absent again. It was reasonable a few days ago, but today it really surprised Wu Taifu and Premier Ju. They thought Xiao Zimu was seriously ill.

At the same time, they were gratified that Xiao mubai came to court.

The party congratulated Xiao mubai one by one. Xiao mubai saluted one by one and went to Xiao Yanjun's side and said to him, "thank you for the fourth brother's wedding."

Xiao Yanjun raised a dark smile on his face, hissed and said to him, "the second brother came here just in time today, let..."

Before he finished, the Golden Bell and jade chime rang in the hall, and the emperor was already facing the dynasty.

The ministers quickly returned to their own position and stood silently, but Xiao Yanjun stood in the middle and didn't return. Instead, he stepped forward and said, "father, emperor, my son and minister have something to start."

Xiao mubai stood beside Wu Taifu, and Wen Yan also stepped forward: "the fourth brother is so clever, and the second brother has something to play."

Although the courtiers on both sides have long been clear-cut, they did not expect that the two men were so tense when they were just facing the court.

"Then let the second brother speak first." Although Xiao Yanjun's tone was mild, his eyes looked at him with disdain. His slightly raised chin seemed to be watching a man's dying words.

"Good." Xiao mubai glanced at him faintly and turned to face the Emperor: "on his way back to Beijing, he met the third childe of the Qiao family of the state of Liang. He has always loved traveling. He heard that his son returned to Beijing and rushed to the fourth younger brother's wedding. Naturally, he also wanted to witness the prosperous era of the marriage between the two countries, so his son took him back to Beijing."

He paused here, but Xiao Yanjun's face had turned pig liver color.

Concubine Li sent someone to inform him last night that Xiao mubai and childe Qiao are the same person.

He was just about to report the matter to the emperor. If it is true, the accusation of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country should be put aside. At least Xiao mubai's military power should be handed over first.

Xiao Yanjun frowned and stared at Xiao mubai. He saw a little blush on his face. Then he said, "this is not that he went to Dali temple and ignored the third childe Qiao just after returning to the capital. Today, he just took him into the palace to see his father and Emperor. You can also go to see his mother and concubine later."

The emperor nodded and said, "if your mother imperial concubine sees the descendants of the Qiao family, she will be happy."

Hearing this, the ministers also reacted one after another. The empress Qi's mother is the direct daughter of the Qiao family. In this way, it is reasonable for Xiao Mu to take him back to the capital.

With Duke Li's voice: "the third son of Xuanqiao has an audience."

Outside the hall, a dignified man slowly walked in. He was dressed in modest but noble clothes, all made of high-quality cotton satin.

With his steps, the courtiers on both sides couldn't help taking a breath.

Walking closer, I just found that his eyebrows were thick and black, his eyes were bright, his black hair was like silk, his mouth was cold and tight, and his beautiful face was carved like a knife. His appearance was seven or eight points similar to Xiao mubai.

But he wanted to be gentle and kind, and Xiao mubai's body had a touch of alienation.

"Qiao Mobai, the third son of the Qiao family of the state of Liang, see the emperor." He respectfully performed the etiquette of the state of Liang. If it weren't for the relationship of clothes, at first glance, the ministers might not be so clear.

"I've always heard that the Qiao family is behind the door, so there's a playful girl like you." The emperor motioned to him to straighten up, and a loving smile hung on his face.

"Yes, Mo Bai is not talented, and his ambition is not in the war. He likes to travel alone, and his father has no way." Qiao Mo's white face was blushing.

"It doesn't matter. It's better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. The Qiao family doesn't lack you. If you're tired of living in King Mo's house, you can go to General Zhao's house. General Zhao's son happens to be in central Beijing, South Qiao and North Zhao. You two should be quite in tune." The emperor became more and more popular.

The ministers were also excited when they heard this. If old general Qiao and old general Zhao were born in the same place, the world would be unified, and it would be just around the corner

"The emperor joked. Foreign ministers are not good at martial arts. Where did they beat General Zhao?" Qiao Mobai waved his hand again and again.

The ministers and the emperor laughed one after another. Although Qiao Mobai said polite greetings, he seemed to feel that Xiao was a little better in his heart.

"Send the third childe Qiao to imperial concubine Qi." The Emperor gave orders to Duke Li.

The eyes of the ministers looking at Qiao Mobai are inevitably hot. The people who can get grandpa Li to send them off are not ordinary people

Qiao Mobai Shane stepped down. Xiao mubai turned to look at Xiao Yanjun, who was standing there, and joked at him: "fourth brother, it's time for you to start."

The upward people took their eyes back from Qiao Mo Bai's figure and looked at Xiao Yanjun one after another.

Xiao Yanjun was named by him, and his complexion was extremely embarrassed and complex. What does he say now?

He is only secretly glad that he didn't speak in advance just now. Otherwise, he will lose his face even more.

"King Yu?" The emperor saw that he had been silent for a long time and asked, with a look of impatience on his face.

"I just wanted to say that if the princess is not allowed to marry from general Shi's house tomorrow, it's better to go through the motions." Xiao Yanjun was suddenly pressed by the emperor, and in a hurry, he spun a reason.

After hearing this, the ministers were inevitably disappointed. They thought that he was eager to start something important. They couldn't help whispering and talking one after another.

The emperor's face was also cold with the naked eye. Just now he was smiling. Now he had a solemn face and began to scold him: "such a small thing is also worth you to bear the brunt of the early dynasty?"

"Yes, my ministers are hasty." Xiao Yanjun was ashamed and couldn't lift his head. He could only plead guilty.

"The fourth younger brother is also eager to protect his wife. He is afraid that the Mongolian princess will be wronged. He is so affectionate that his father and Emperor will not scold him." Xiao mubai seemed to pass him a step, but in fact there was a needle in it.

As soon as these words came out, people inevitably felt that his husband's gang was not strong. Before he passed the door, he had bowed his head, ignored his grievances, and first saved face for the Mongolian people

The emperor brushed his sleeve and left in an uproar. Before leaving, he also gouged out Xiao Yanjun, so that the courtiers who had just had some expectations in their hearts yesterday gathered around Xiao Yanjun's voice, and gave him a few words of complaint. The words of starting this morning are not rigorous enough.

Xiao Yanjun saw Xiao mubai saying goodbye to Wu Taifu and then walking outside the hall. He quickly pushed aside the people and chased them up.

Xiao mubai saw him stop in front of him, and his eyebrows and eyes rose slightly, with a hint of provocation.

Xiao Yanjun's face was very unwilling. He gnashed his teeth and said, "the second brother's hand is made out of nothing. It's really just right."

He thought Xiao mubai would retort, or pretend to be stupid, but he didn't expect Xiao mubai to nod and answer: "yes, but you can take this king again, how about it?"
