The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

How long does it take to fall in love with someone? Xiao Yiheng can tell you that it only takes one look.

The girl by the water prayed with palms together, with lotus lanterns floating around her, and the moonlight shining on her body, like a fairy descended from the mortal world.

If it was a concubine, Xiao Yiheng didn't dare to Meng Lang, so he turned around and left, but the new maids who entered the palace don't have to be so taboo.

These servants who have just entered the palace have not been favored by His Majesty, and they have neither connections nor roots. If Xiao Yiheng really likes him and asks Queen Zhou Xiangyun, he can be relegated from the palace for a reason, and once he goes out, he can be accepted as a prince.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yiheng was overwhelmed with emotion, and walked straight over.

The sound of footsteps awakened the woman who was praying, and the girl opened her eyes in surprise. When she saw Xiao Yiheng in the three-clawed golden dragon costume, she wanted to run away, but was afraid of breaking the rules. It was like being startled by a peacock. Panicked, it took a while to bow and salute: "Meet Your Highness!"

The girl didn't know Xiao Yiheng, but only knew that he was the prince.

Xiao Yiheng looked at the woman, only to see that she lowered her head and kneaded her hands. The nervousness made her tightly hold a lotus seed carved from white jade, and turn it between her white fingers, just like her inner panic.

"Don't be too polite, I am Xiao Yiheng, King of Chu, what are you doing here?" Xiao Yiheng's voice was gentle, and the cold arrogance on his face was gone.

Sure enough, men are all cheap, isn't it your character to be cold and arrogant?

The girl hurriedly said: "Second Highness, the little girl is setting off lotus lanterns to pray for blessings."

"Oh? Who are you praying for?" Xiao Yiheng asked.

The girl hesitated for a moment, and said, "For my grandfather, grandmother and benefactor, Your Highness, I will take my leave."

Xiao Yiheng moved suddenly, stopped her, and asked, "What's your name?"

He was also afraid that if he let the girl go, he would have to waste some time trying to find her. After all, this is the harem, His Majesty's harem.

The girl's panic expression improved a lot. Hearing Xiao Yiheng's question, the girl didn't want to answer and was afraid of offending him, so she turned her eyes cunningly, and said: "Little girl Ye Mei, Your Highness, it's getting late, I can leave Yet?"

Only then did Xiao Yiheng step aside and watched the girl trot away.

"I want to get her!"

Xiao Yiheng was eager in his heart. He was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, so he planned to discuss with Zhou Xiangyun tomorrow and ask her for help. In case the time passes too long and the girl is blessed by His Majesty, what should I do? At that time, I can only decide this thought.

 ….

The morning of the next day was uneventful.

After the court, Xiao Rui was about to go to Changchun Palace, but out of caution, Xiao Rui first asked to see Emperor Xia.

Emperor Xia was resting, and when he heard that Xiao Rui asked to see him, he let him in. Xiao Rui entered the hall, saluted and said: "My son Xiao Rui pays homage to Father Emperor!"

Emperor Xia leaned on the dragon couch, supported his head with his hands, and asked: "You don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, tell me, what's the matter?"

Xiao Rui said helplessly: "Isn't it possible for my son to come and say hello?"

"Oh, really? That's really my honor. The other princes, even Xiao Jiu, who is the most eccentric, come to pay their respects every day. What about you, when was the last time you came? Do you remember?" Emperor Xia After finishing speaking, he asked Xiang Hai Dafu: "Hai Ban Ban, do you remember?"

"Report to Your Majesty, it was half a month ago." Hai Dafu didn't dare to confirm, even he felt that King Xian was too much, how could he do this, it was too unfilial.

Xiao Rui smiled awkwardly, firstly because he didn't come here often, secondly because he was lazy, and thirdly because he didn't want to see Emperor Xia, when he saw him, he felt overwhelmed and felt scared.

"My minister was ignorant before, please forgive me for your disrespect, and come to see me often in the future." Xiao Rui hurriedly asked around.

Emperor Xia smiled and said: "Forget it, I'm used to it too. Tell me about your purpose for coming to pay your respects."

Look, the majestic emperor speaks so resentfully.

Xiao Rui laughed and said: "Yesterday, the empress ordered someone to call me, and I am going to pay my respects to Changchun Palace. Before paying my respects, I must first come to Your Majesty's place to pay my respects."

Emperor Xia groaned, and said: "The queen is the identity of the mother of the world. You should have moved around a long time ago. Now that you have opened a mansion, you have already grown up. You must be proper in terms of etiquette. Don't be caught and laughed at."

Xiao Rui replied: "I understand. Father, I still have something to ask. The rear palace is scattered, and I am afraid that I will go to the wrong place and offend other elders. I implore Father to send someone to take me to Changchun Palace."

Emperor Xia nodded, and asked Hai Dafu to assign a young eunuch to lead Xiao Rui there himself.

Leaving the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Xiao Rui went to the harem, and when he arrived at Changchun Palace, there were already female officials and maids waiting. Seeing that Xiao Rui was being led by His Majesty's eunuch, the female official's eyelids twitched, and then she gave the maid beside her a look.

"His Royal Highness Xian Wang, Your Majesty has been waiting in the hall for a long time. When I heard that you are coming, I have already prepared tea and snacks." The female officer said respectfully.

Xiao Rui thanked the eunuch who led the way, the man retreated in panic, then followed the female officer to enter, and said: "I just said a few more words with my father, I am late, I hope the empress will forgive me."

The female official said softly: "Your Majesty's summoning must be a major court event, and the queen will definitely not blame her."

Xiao Rui nodded with a smile, he really doesn't know the way? of course not.

After entering the hall, I saw Queen Zhou Xiangyun sitting at the head, looking at Xiao Rui who came in with a kind face. Xiao Rui stepped forward quickly, cupped his hands and said: "Xiao Rui pays respects to Empress Empress, Empress Empress Jin An."

Zhou Xiangyun smiled and said: "Pingping, I and your concubine mother were good friends when they were alive, and they often hugged you when they were young. In a blink of an eye, you are so old. You have lived outside the palace these years, and I can't take care of you. Now you are open He has also grown into such a handsome young man, I believe Concubine Rong can rest in peace even in the spirit of heaven."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Xiangyun showed a sad face, as if remembering the friendship with Concubine Rong, his eyes were slightly red.

Xiao Rui really wanted to raise his hands and applaud, good acting, good acting! It's natural, without thinking about it, if you don't know the details, you might really believe that she has a deep relationship with your mother and sister.

If I had known this earlier, the Best Actress award at the first Golden Statue Awards of Great Xia Kingdom would not have been awarded to the woman pretending to be a female ghost, but to Zhou Xiangyun.

Well, it's time for me to work hard as the leading actor of the Golden Statue Award. Xiao Rui pursed his lips in gratitude and said, "Thank you, Empress, for your concern. Xiao Rui is warm in my heart."

Zhou Xiangyun said with a smile: "Come, come, sit down and tell me, I ordered people to prepare high-quality tea and snacks for you, do you like it?"

Xiao Rui stepped forward to sit down, and he was not polite, picked up a snack and put it in his mouth, nodded, and said with a smile: "It's delicious, it's really the imperial chef's skill in the palace."

Zhou Xiangyun said: "Then after you read this, come to Changchun Palace, or look for your second brother, and I will order someone to deliver the snacks to your second brother's house, which is also convenient for you. You and your second brother will also You have to get close often, and communicate a lot.”

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Yes, don't worry."

Zhou Xiangyun suddenly laughed and said, "The last time your second brother came to greet you, he didn't intend to say that you actively took on the responsibility of hosting the Dayan Mission because you wanted to leave the capital? You were fine in the capital, why did you leave the capital? Zhuge Liuying has a marriage contract, so she doesn't want to leave."

Xiao Rui secretly smiled in his heart, here he is, this must be why Zhou Xiangyun called him here. I ignored Xiao Yiheng's invitation, so I was a little anxious and asked his mother to do it.

He nodded, and said frankly: "Empress, the second brother is right. I am indeed planning to leave Beijing, and I have already applied to Your Majesty to change my position from the supervisory censor in front of the palace to the supervisory censor. Your Majesty has already agreed. After the new year, I will inspect the state capital and go out for a walk! I have grown up so much, and I haven’t left the capital, so I just take this opportunity to go out and have a look. The world is so big, I want to go around.”

"Really?" Zhou Xiangyun asked immediately.

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Of course! I dare not make fun of the imperial father's edict!"

When Zhou Xiangyun heard this, he immediately felt relieved, and said: "It's okay to go out and have a look. See the outside world. If you need anything, just ask your second brother. Is the salary enough to support the mansion? My palace will let you see it tomorrow." The second brother will send you some money, you brothers should take care of each other."

Xiao Rui nodded and agreed: "Second brother takes good care of me, unlike elder brother who treats me colder, and I don't want to go to him, so why not kiss second brother."

Zhou Xiangyun agreed: "You are right. Xiao Lie follows the imperial concubine's temper, imperial concubine Lin Yu'er is indifferent, and his son is even more outstanding. But ah, His Majesty just likes him, and there are even many remarks in the court saying that he is likely to inherit the imperial concubine. System."

"Impossible! The second brother is still the best in essay writing and martial arts! My father likes the second brother so much! If I had to choose between the eldest brother and the second brother, I would definitely choose the second brother!" Xiao Rui said solemnly.

Zhou Xiangyun smiled and said, "I didn't expect your second brother to be so outstanding in your mind, so he still needs the support and help of your younger brother."

Xiao Rui nodded, and said: "Okay! Empress, please rest assured, I will let you and the second brother see my support, and I will do my best to express my sincerity."

Thinking that leaving the capital is giving up the position of prince, and then trying to win him over? good! Satisfy you. Xiao Rui decided that from tomorrow onwards, he would regard himself as Xiao Yiheng's supporter and try his best to help him hate Xiao Lie. This creates an illusion, making everyone think that they support Xiao Yiheng. Believe it or not, it doesn't matter, as long as the water is muddy, it's a good thing.

Zhou Xiangyun looked deeply at Xiao Rui and nodded: "Okay!"

The two chatted happily, and she wanted to stay with Xiao Rui for dinner, but Xiao Rui declined.

Leaving Changchun Palace, Xiao Rui smiled.

The queen's move was nothing more than a test. If she believed what she said, she would definitely verify it. From Zhou Xiangyun's eager probing, we can see the struggle between the queen of the harem and the imperial concubine.

It will be more intense in the future.

It seems that his plan is correct.

Thinking about something in his heart, Xiao Rui walked towards the outside of the palace, and a group of beautiful female officials came in front of him. Xiao Rui didn't pay attention to observe, so he passed by.

However, these female officials have to stop and salute.

Among them, a young girl secretly looked at the Xian Wang, and when she saw Xiao Rui's face clearly, she suddenly froze.

Xiao Rui had already left, and the female officials were also leaving, but the girl was still staring at Xiao Rui's back, unwilling to look away.

"Yan Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you?" Beside her, another woman pushed her and asked.

The girl came back to her senses, and quickly asked: "Ye Mei, is that His Highness the Seventh Prince Xiao Rui?"

The woman named Ye Mei nodded and said: "Yes, but his mother and concubine passed away early, and it is rare to see him enter the palace. What's wrong with you, are you out of your mind?"

Holding a white jade lotus seed, the girl shook her head and said, "I'm fine."

After a while, the girl suddenly asked: "Ye Mei, I want to serve near the Hall of Mental Cultivation, do you think it is possible?"

"Ah?" Ye Mei said: "Over there is fragrant steamed buns, a good place to be favored by His Majesty. Aren't you unwilling?"

"I don't want to meet His Majesty, but it's enough to be close to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Sister Yemei, please give me some advice." The girl asked quickly.

Ye Mei was puzzled, what happened to this little girl?
