Chapter 290 The Talking Glass
Anzhou, Prince Qi's Mansion, has now been renamed Prince Ping's Mansion.

When Xiao Ming proclaimed himself emperor, this royal residence would belong to Xiao Beiheng.

But Xiao Beiheng didn't feel happy.

Emperor Qiming named his elder brother Xiao Zhuo the king of An, and Shengzhou and Jingzhou became Xiao Zhuo's fiefdoms.For him, he was granted the title of King Ping, Anzhou, and Yuzhou as fiefdoms.The two got the same amount, which seemed like a bowl of water, but the key was that Xiao Beiheng didn't see it that way.

Just after eating at noon, he walked around the back garden of the Wang Mansion sullenly by himself.Even if the garden is full of flowers competing for splendor, it can't make him a little happy.

If the emperor didn't let him be the prince directly, what he was worried about really happened.

When he learned Xiao Zhuo's true identity before, he was worried that once King Qi knew Xiao Zhuo's identity, out of guilt and compensation, or based on his ability, he would seal Xiao Zhuo as the prince.Although the worst is not happening now, there are already bad signs.

"Prince Ping, this subordinate is back." Lin Kui's excited voice sounded at the gate of the back garden.

Xiao Beiheng hurriedly turned his head and saw Lin Kui walking in with a happy expression on his face, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it, what did your father say?"

Lin Kui was originally guarding Yongwei County in Xiliang. When King Qi withdrew his army, at Shen Yuexi's request, Lin Kui also called back and returned the four counties of Xiliang to Queen Mei Dai of Xiliang.Although there was no precedent for a woman to be king since ancient times, the Mei family in Xiliang had no males. Emperor Qi Ming was generous and decreed to recognize the legitimacy of Mei Dai as the queen of Xiliang, so the Mei family could continue to enjoy the original fiefdom.

In this matter, he was always penny-pinching, and even the slightest mistake would make him feel uneasy.

"Beiheng, you're sorry for me." The macaw Liuli said again.

Xiao Beiheng showed helplessness, and shouted into the room: "Momo, you let the bird out again?"

Although Xiao Zhuo's fiefs are Jingzhou and Shengzhou, he still lives in Xiaogang Village with Shen Yuexi.Recently, I heard that the city has begun to expand. The original city has become an inner city, and a city wall has been built outside to accommodate more people.

He wanted to go to Xiaogang Village, but he was a little guilty.

Xiao Beiheng was a little confused, and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Then Qixi Festival will be over, there must be a reason for the visit," Xiao Beiheng said, "At that time, we will make a hot air balloon together and fly up to have a look."

"Bei Heng, you are sorry for me."

Only halfway through, the voice just now sounded in the room again.

Xiao Beiheng had no choice but to walk into the house.

"Of course, Prince Ping, you are too worried," Lin Kui said haha, "If you care about it, you will be confused. As long as you think about it carefully, you will know what His Majesty means, and you don't need to ask your subordinates."

The macaw Liuli flapped its wings and flew into the room, stopped at Su Mo's desk, and called out to Xiao Beiheng:
"Bei Heng, you are sorry for me."

Emperor Qi Ming's attitude towards Xiao Zhuo was indeed somewhat subtle.Maybe it was true as Lin Kui said, that Emperor Qi Ming named them two kings just to ease Xiao Zhuo's mood?

"Momo, are you still angry with me?" He walked up to Su Mo with a smile, and put his hand on her shoulder, "How long has it been, even Liuli has learned how to be angry with you."

A two-foot-long macaw with a blue back and a yellow belly flapped its wings and fell from the air. It grabbed the railing next to the door with its claws, tilted its head to look at him, and opened its mouth and said, "Bei Heng, you're sorry. .”

After Xiao Beiheng listened, he nodded and said, "So, Father doesn't appreciate Xiao Zhuo very much?"

"It's really a wrong purchase." Xiao Beiheng shook his head and smiled wryly, opened the door at the end, and walked into the room.

Xiao Beiheng smiled slightly, and said to Su Mo mysteriously: "Let's go find brother and sister-in-law."

"Qixi Festival." Su Mo reminded.

This macaw is called "Liuli". He saw it when he was buying rare treasures in a foreign country.According to the businessman, this macaw can imitate human speech and is very clever.

"Of course, but these days are not suitable. Which is the nearest festival?" Xiao Beiheng counted the days with his fingers.

"Look at the name of His Majesty's title," Lin Kui stretched out his hand and gestured in his palm, "King Ping, King An. Peace and safety, peace in front and peace in back. Can't you see what His Majesty means?"

"Hey, King Ping, think about it. If you are directly appointed as the prince, King An will definitely not be convinced. He is notoriously obsessed with the position of prince, and he will lead troops to fight. If he is not happy, your majesty here It's not easy, isn't it, after all, he is his son. But don't worry, this king is only temporary, and it won't take long, His Majesty will definitely make you the crown prince. Anyway, you are also his son raised since childhood .Your Majesty must be closer to you."

Since Su Mo was always angry at him for "drinking more hot water", Xiao Beiheng bought the macaw and gave it to Su Mo to apologize.Unexpectedly, this stupid bird didn't learn anything, but he practiced this sentence very proficiently. As soon as he saw him, he would start repeating this sentence over and over again.

He was hesitating, when suddenly there was a sharp, angry voice from the end of the corridor.

Before, he always chased and killed Xiao Zhuo and Shen Yuexi, and they definitely didn't like him.Although the relationship is now clear and they know that the two are brothers, I'm afraid it won't give him any good looks.But if he didn't go, he would always worry about this matter, and he couldn't even sleep well.

Lin Kui was spitting all over the place, and Xiao Beiheng was half-believing when he heard it.

Seeing Lin Kui's happy face now, he couldn't help feeling excited.

"But... why didn't the emperor just make me the crown prince?" Xiao Beiheng was still a little concerned.

A few days ago Xiao Beiheng sent Lin Kui to Beijing, nominally to present to Emperor Qi Ming the rare treasures and playthings purchased from foreign countries, but the actual purpose was for Lin Kui to probe into Emperor Qi Ming's mind.

"How do I know?" Su Mo turned her head away and picked up the model of the hot air balloon again.

Opening the curtain, I saw Su Mo concentrating on fiddling with a model of a hot air balloon in front of the table.

"Bei Heng, you are sorry for me, Bei Heng, you are sorry for me."

Xiao Beiheng felt that his head was getting bigger, and he covered his ears and said, "Momo, don't be angry, okay. I was really wrong, so don't let this bird keep talking."

After Lin Kui stepped back, Xiao Beiheng went around the garden a few more times.

Su Mo said with a straight face: "I haven't finished teaching it yet. After two days, I will teach it to say 'drink more hot water'."

"Okay, you have worked hard on your trip to Beijing, go down and rest first." He instructed Lin Kui.

Su Mo's eyes lit up, she turned her head and said to him in surprise, "Really? You want to go too?"

Looking at the hot air balloon, Xiao Beiheng suddenly had an idea. He thought of how to meet Xiao Zhuo and Shen Yuexi.

For a moment, Xiao Beiheng wanted to go to Xiaogang Village, Liangzhou to find Xiao Zhuo in person, to see Xiao Zhuo's true thoughts.

Xiao Beiheng stopped, showing a dumbfounding expression, and walked towards the room at the end of the corridor.

Su Mo stopped playing with the model in her hand, turned her head and gave him a blank look: "I taught it specially, so that it will always remind you how much this man has gone too far."

Xiao Beiheng clasped his fists together and saluted, "Momo, it's not enough to buy a bird to make amends, so what else is enough?"

"Prince Ping, Your Majesty has talked with Your Majesty," Lin Kui said happily, "Your Majesty said that although King An led troops to fight and stood out from the crowd, but when he was with Emperor Yongde, he developed a cruel and easy-to-kill character, especially when he killed his teacher. His Majesty did not appreciate it. But His Majesty felt that the fault was not with King An, but with Emperor Yongde's ears and eyes, and he did not blame him. Your Majesty knew that Emperor Yongde was a man, and King An was like this. , is also within His Majesty's expectation."

But what does Xiao Zhuo think, what exactly does Xiao Zhuo think?

"That's great!" Su Mo happily stretched out her arms to put her arms around his neck, "Bei Heng, I've always been worried that your brothers will not get along, and through this festival, everyone should be more friendly... No, I have to go first, I I'm going to find Yuexi to make a hot air balloon."

"Duyimomo. But can this bird be sent out? It has been hurting me..."

Macaw Liuli tilted his head, looked at the two happy people, and said another sentence.

"Bei Heng, you are sorry for me."
