Chapter 290 The Old Emperor's Thoughts ([-])
The hustle and bustle of Empress Xiaosu's birthday banquet exhausted everyone.

Although the old emperor was old, he wanted to stroll around when he was free.

Xia Huaixun is only in his early thirties, but when he is free, he just wants to sleep well in the mansion.

Just now when the little eunuch sent by Eunuch An arrived at the Grand Master's Mansion, he was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly.

Hearing that Fenghuang invited him to swim in the lake, and that Mei Siniang was with him, he wanted to curse at that moment.

The old emperor is really confused!

At a young age, I don't know how to take care of my body, so many women in the palace can't handle it, and I have to sneak around to find women when I have a little spare time.

Since you like Mei Siniang so much, then just stay with her, why do you have to detain yourself?
He couldn't help thinking of his daughter who was far away in Yasu City.

No wonder Yue'er has been urging him to resign, this bowl of rice is really unbearable!

Xia Huaixun had a dark face, the little eunuch didn't dare to ask more questions, so he could only coax him into the carriage with a basket of good words.

This master's official position is not the highest, nor does he have the greatest power in his hands, but he is definitely the most powerful person in the entire Fengguo spectrum.

If other officials had to be summoned by His Majesty alone, they would not be sure how beautiful they would be.

But this master, every time he pulls a face, and dares to run on His Majesty with words.

His majesty just followed his example, and often bowed down in front of him, as if he had done something to offend him.

Not to mention how the little eunuch complained, Feng Huang invited Xia Huaixun into the cabin with a big smile on his face.

Although she is no longer young, Mei Siniang's admiration for Xia Huaixun has not diminished in the slightest.

Since it was inconvenient to reveal too much in Fenghuang's presence, she just blessed her body slightly: "Si Niang has met Xueshi Xia."

Xia Huaixun's eyes swept past her, and said with a slight smile, "Miss Mei, you don't have to be polite."

Fenghuang laughed and said: "You two are not new acquaintances, and there is no one else here, why are you so restrained?

Come, come, come, Xiguang sits here, and Siniang makes us a pot of good tea. "

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but drag Xia Huaixun to the window, pointed to the chess board on the small table and said: "Xi Guang will accompany me to play a game first."

Xia Huaixun's head got bigger.

Every time the old emperor summoned him alone, playing chess was definitely a repertoire.

But his old man's chess skills are hard to describe in words, and what is even more speechless is that he has loved playing chess so much for decades, but he has not improved at all.

Fenghuang's face was very thick, and he smiled and pushed him to sit on the chair: "I feel that the chess skills have improved a lot in the past few days, please ask Xiguang to help check it."

Xia Huaixun had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty specially summoned the humble officials here today, it can't be as simple as swimming in the lake and playing chess?"

Fenghuang sat down opposite him, picked up a sunspot and placed it on the chessboard.

"It's still Xiguang who knows me best. It's really not easy to find a quiet place to talk now."

Just as Xia Huaixun was about to answer, she saw Mei Siniang walking into the cabin carrying a tea tray.

She put two cups of tea on the small table, and listened to Feng Huang's instructions: "I haven't listened to the pipa for a long time, it's rare that I'm interested today, how about Si Niang playing a few pieces for me and Xi Guang?"

Mei Siniang is not stupid, besides, she just heard the conversation between the two.

She chuckled lightly: "Your Majesty is really embarrassing. There is only an old pipa with a broken string. You want to make my concubine embarrass herself in front of Xueshi Xia."

Fenghuang said: "Let Xiao Anzi repair it for you, their family has been doing this for generations, and they are better than many craftsmen who eat this bowl of rice."

Mei Siniang didn't dare to continue pestering, so she could only bow and exit the cabin.

She just said, why did His Majesty suddenly want to visit her, and even took her out to swim in the lake in a big way.

It turned out that all this was to find a clean place to discuss confidential matters with Fourth Master Xia.

It's just too hurtful!
Fortunately, she grew up in the entertainment field since she was a child, and she is used to seeing men with little hearts. She has already given up hope in the love between men and women, otherwise she would have been pissed off so many times.

The sound of Mei Siniang's footsteps gradually faded away, Feng Huang smiled and said: "There is news from Yue girl, long time no see, I really miss her a little bit."

Xia Huaixun smiled and said: "My daughter's trip is mainly to visit Queen Yasu on behalf of her second aunt, and she will not come back until she gives birth smoothly."

Fenghuang said: "I originally thought that taking advantage of the queen's birthday banquet, King Yasu would bring the queen back to visit relatives, and let your family have a good reunion.

I didn't expect that they were going to have children soon, it's really unconvincing to be old! "

Xia Huaixun smiled and said: "Your Majesty is in high spirits, I am ashamed of myself.

Recently, I have been busy dealing with envoys from several countries, so that I have been talking to them in my dreams. "

"Xiguang—" Fenghuang dropped another son: "Speaking of the envoys who came to celebrate the birthday this time, I have to say that in a few decades, the most promising country will be the Ye Kingdom."

Under the cover of the wide cuff, Xia Huaixun clenched his left hand into a fist.

He chuckled and said, "Prince Ye is indeed excellent, but His Majesty, don't underestimate yourself.

The princes and grandchildren are also very intelligent, and they will never be inferior to Prince Ye if they are trained well. "

Fenghuang sighed: "There is no one else here, so Xiguang shouldn't prevaricate me with obedient words.

The princes are more worried than the other, but the princes and grandchildren are not bad. "

Xia Huaixun said: "Your Majesty is referring to the son of King Xing'an, or the second son of Prince Bosi?"

"Xi Guangming asked the question, and of course I'm talking about Shen'er. This kid is both civil and military, brave and resourceful, and he's a good seed.

If it is cultivated carefully, the future achievements will be limitless! "

Xia Huaixun let go of his hand lightly, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is picking on this humble minister for failing to teach Second Young Master well?"

"Where do I mean that, Xi Guang don't have to worry about it. I just think that Shen'er's child is not inferior to Prince Ye in appearance, and his intelligence is similar, so I don't want to waste talent.

It's just that the child has suffered since childhood, so that he has developed some benevolence for a woman, and he has no ambitions, alas—"

Xia Huaixun's mouth twitched slightly.

The old emperor really contradicted himself.

What he hates the most is that the princes are so ambitious and intriguing that they can kill each other and frame each other.

How come to Yan Jingshen, lack of ambition is actually a shortcoming?
The old emperor waved his hand: "Let's not talk about that, let's talk about Prince Ye. This time he is an envoy to celebrate the Queen's birthday, and he has contacts with Xi Guangduo. What do you think of him?"

Xia Huaixun clenched his fists again.

If he wasn't sure that the events of that year hadn't been leaked, he would have wondered if the old emperor knew something.

He still maintained his previous demeanor, and said with a faint smile: "The reason why Prince Ye came to the Grand Master's Mansion is mainly to visit the little prince Mo who lives in Weichen's house.

The two of them are cousins ​​after all, and Prince Mo has a carefree temper.

That's why Prince Ye was worried that Prince Mo would cause trouble, so he often came to visit him. "
