The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

In the next few days, Xiao Rui recuperated in the mansion, and the capital returned to calm and lively.

Xu Xianyang was sick at home, but Emperor Xia did not do anything to Xu Xianyang as Xiao Rui thought. It seems that just like what Jia Xu said, ordinary people can't guess what Emperor Xia is thinking.

And the day after tomorrow, it will be Emperor Xia's birthday.

Giving birthday gifts is a science, especially when the prince congratulates the emperor on his birthday. If you give a light gift, you will be ridiculed by others. I really think it is a good word to say that light gift is light and affection is more important. It is a compliment for fear of embarrassing you. If you give a heavy gift, others will be jealous.

But now Xiao Rui is more embarrassing.

In the past, Xiao Rui was the most unpopular among the princes, so it was optional. On his birthday last year, Xiao Rui only gave him a good brush washer, but recently he has been in the limelight for a while, so he can't be too much like before. Feel free to.

So Xiao Rui asked Jia Xu for advice.

Knowing Xiao Rui's difficulties, Jia Xu smiled immediately: "Your Highness, this birthday may be the last filial piety competition before the princes compete for the crown prince. It is an opportunity for positioning, so His Highness has to seize it. However, in my opinion, this gift does not need to be expensive, but a gift of filial piety."

"Send filial piety? Could it be possible to stew the golden dragon koi fish soup again?" Xiao Rui laughed.

Jia Xu also laughed: "Your Highness really wants to do this, I think Emperor Xia will drive His Highness out of the hall!"

Xiao Rui laughed out loud, not to mention that his father could do such a thing.

"What is the filial piety that the gentleman refers to?" Xiao Rui asked.

Jia Xu said leisurely: "Your Highness thinks, who should be most grateful for a person's birthday banquet?"

When Xiao Rui heard it, his expression moved: "It's mother!"

Jia Xu nodded and said: "That's right, it's our mother. Mother doesn't celebrate her birthday, and father doesn't grow a beard. Today Emperor Xia is a filial person, but her mother has never enjoyed the glory of her son. Being posthumously named Xiaoshengxian Empress, but there must be regrets in Emperor Xia's heart."

Emperor Xia's real name was Xiao Ying, and his birth was very humble. He was born to a maid of honor in Emperor Xiaowen's harem. At that time, the empress in the harem had exclusive power, especially the palace maids who were pregnant with dragon fetuses were the most severe, and they would basically be killed with a stick. Therefore, when Empress Xiaoshengxian found out that she was pregnant, she knew that the palace could not stay for long, so she tried every means to hide the fact of pregnancy. Only a close court lady and the eunuch who was next to Emperor Xiaowen knew about it.

Later, with the help of the court lady, Empress Xiaoshengxian escaped from the harem by feigning death, and gave birth to Emperor Xia smoothly. Orphans and widows, imagine how poor they are. When Emperor Xia was fifteen years old, he and his mother came to the capital from poverty to make a living. One day, he happened to meet the eunuch who was close to Emperor Xiaowen, and he told Emperor Xiaowen that Emperor Xiaowen knew that he had a cheap son.

Xiao Ying entered the palace to meet Emperor Xiaowen, and the suspicious Emperor Xiaowen believed in Xiao Ying's face. The two were carved out of the same mold, and because of this, Emperor Xiaowen directly bestowed Emperor Xia as King Ying and allowed him to open the mansion.

Empress Xiaoshengxian worked too long and contracted a serious disease, and was unable to enter the palace. She died when Emperor Xia was twenty-five years old.

It was also at the age of twenty-five that Emperor Xia Xiao Ying rose vigorously and began to compete with eighteen princes for the position of supremacy!

Therefore, Jia Xu admired Emperor Xia very much. He was able to sit on the throne, which can be said to be a river of flesh and blood.

Jia Xu went on to say: "So I think, if someone can find someone to paint the portrait of the filial sage and virtuous queen, so as to relieve Emperor Xia's pain of missing his mother, this kind of filial piety is the most precious."

Xiao Rui nodded, wondering: "Grandma Huang passed away early, so there is no portrait left behind. It has been nearly 30 years now, and I believe that the memory of my father is fuzzy. Who else can remember Grandma Huang's dignity?" ?”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "I have nothing to do these few days. I have studied the past of Emperor Xia. Back then, Empress Xiaoshengxian was able to escape from the harem by feigning death, thanks to the help of a court lady who was close to her. The Queen of the Palace married a family surnamed Zhang, and his son is today's Zhongyonghou, Zhang Jinfu!"

"Ah?" Xiao Rui was surprised.

Jia Xu nodded and said: "Why Zhongyonghou can stay in the capital to lead the patrol battalion and guard the important areas of the capital? It is because of this relationship that he can become the most trusted person of Emperor Xia. I believe that Zhongyonghou's mother should still remember the filial piety. The face of Empress Sage. You can try it, if it doesn’t work, His Highness will give you another birthday gift.”

"Okay! I'll go now!" Xiao Rui asked Gao Quan to prepare the car and head to Zhongyonghou's Mansion.

When talking about Zhongyonghou's Mansion, Xiao Rui naturally thought of Zhang Ruoxi. After all, she was a woman who had a blind date, and she felt good. Now that I know the relationship between Zhang Jinfu and Emperor Xia, I feel even better. If I can marry such a virtuous wife, it will be beneficial to me and not harmful at all!

Do you want to consider selling your body?

I am for the responsibility of my system!

It's not because I'm greedy for women!

Well, Xiao Rui has such a small idea, hehe.

"Your Highness, the Zhongyonghou Mansion has arrived!" Gao Quan stopped suddenly, interrupting Xiao Rui's wild thoughts.

Quickly wiped his saliva, Xiao Rui got up and got out of the car.

Gao Quan went to knock on the door, and the door officer knew that His Highness the Seventh Highness was visiting, so he hurriedly opened the door and asked his servants to inform his wife and young master.

Marquis Zhongyong was not in the mansion, and went to work in the patrol battalion.

Zhang Lianchuan heard that Xun rushed over, bluffing: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!"

Xiao Rui who was walking in was so frightened that he withdrew his feet. Although he thought about it for a while, his heart was pounding when he was really treated as a son-in-law.

How shy.

"Young Master, didn't you go to training today?" Xiao Rui asked.

After becoming a general, Zhang Lianchuan's studies mostly focused on "martial arts", military tactics, martial arts riding and archery, etc.

"I want to rest today." After Zhang Lianchuan finished speaking, he looked behind Xiao Rui with a regretful expression.

"What are you looking for?" Xiao Rui asked.

"A gift!" Zhang Lianchuan shouted: "I thought you were here to propose marriage, but it seems not."

As soon as Xiao Rui rolled his eyes, he wanted to marry his elder sister so much, the younger brother was worried, thinking about the torture he suffered, it was ten times or twenty times that of those dudes in the capital.

Suddenly at this moment, Xiao Rui felt that marrying a gentle, virtuous and well-behaved daughter-in-law is a blessing. It doesn’t matter whether she is beautiful or not, as long as she can stand beside your bed with a knife at night after quarreling, and when you wake up, you will be killed by someone in the dark. Just get out of the body of the scared three souls.

Fuck!

Thinking about it this way made Xiao Rui feel that he was not good enough for Zhang Ruoxi.

"Little Marquis, your sister and I are innocent, please don't yell or slander your sister, be careful not to make her angry!" Xiao Rui said righteously: "Twice the true martial arts I learned on you."

Zhang Lianchuan trembled, and immediately cupped his hands respectfully: "Hello, Your Highness, Lianchuan salutes!"

Xiao Rui chuckled, sure enough, this is a poor child accused by his sister.

While talking, Zhang Jinfu's wife came from the backyard.

"Your Highness is here, I'm sorry to welcome you! Lian Chuan, don't you invite Your Highness to rest in the living room. Your Highness is still injured." Zhang's face was full of smiles.

"Oh!" Zhang Lianchuan finally realized.

Xiao Rui cupped his hands and said: "Junior Xiao Rui, meet Auntie!"

Mrs. Zhang was taken aback for a moment, her smile became even wider, and she hurriedly shouted: "I am Zhesha too, get up quickly. Your Highness is here today to find Ruoxi?"

Is this the mother-in-law who urges her daughter to marry?

Poor Zhang Ruoxi, what kind of family do you live in?

"The trouble this time is to visit Mrs. Zhang!" Xiao Rui explained the purpose of his visit.

Mrs. Zhang was taken aback, and said in surprise: "Come to see my old lady?"

"Yes!" Xiao Rui confirmed.

Mrs. Zhang was a little puzzled, but still invited Xiao Rui to the back house.

At this moment in the back house, Zhang Ruoxi was chatting with her grandma.
