In order to appease the deceased general, even if I was asked to support the coffin and personally carry the general's coffin to the burial, it was my duty to do so. Compared with the sacrifices made by the general who ruled the country and for the Southern Prefecture, what I did was nothing. "

There was a sarcastic smile on Xiao Tingyan's lips. "Prince Rui is indeed a wise king... I admire you a little. However, I hope that Prince Rui will not speak too soon. It will not be long before General Zhenguo is buried." For three days, I hope that the prince will keep his word and kneel at this door for three days and three nights to keep vigil for the general."

Kneeling at this door for three days and three nights is not something ordinary people can do. Not to mention how hard the ground under the knees is, the wind and snow and the unpredictable weather alone are probably enough for Xiao Xuanrui. Of course, in addition to physical suffering, he also had to withstand the gazes of his subjects... as well as the emperor's anger and accusations. Once he knew that Xiao Xuanrui actually put aside his pretense as a prince and went to watch the funeral of a minister, he would probably be angry to death. Xiao Xuanrui With this kneeling, I am afraid that all those ministers who dare not show up to worship will have to go to the house to worship. The noble princes will all come to guard the graves of the generals, not to mention officials like them. When the time comes, who will not Come, whoever comes will become the target of criticism from the people. Xiao Xuanrui touched the tip of his tongue to his cheek, feeling extremely annoyed. How could he not hear the sarcasm and reminder in Xiao Tingyan's voice. "Thank you, uncle, for reminding me, in front of such a In the face of many people, I will not break my promise. I will naturally do what I say..." Xiao Tingyan gently patted Xiao Xuanrui's shoulder with the attitude of an elder: "Since my nephew is so virtuous, you must serve the country well. The general is keeping watch over the body, so naturally I won’t hold you back. Let’s do this, I’ll leave two black-feathered guards by your side. If you need anything, just ask them to do it.”

Xiao Xuanrui's face froze. The black feather guards left by Xiao Tingyan were not there to help him, but they were clearly meant to monitor him. In the next few days, if he wants to be lazy, he probably won't have a chance. Xiao Xuanrui clenched his fists, hating in his heart. It doesn't work. "Thank you very much, uncle."

Xiao Tingyan chuckled and shook his head: "Nephew, don't be polite, we are all a family. You, the nephew, can do your best for the general's mansion. I, the uncle, as the fourth lady's fiancé, naturally can't be left behind. .”

Xiao Xuanrui raised his head and smiled. He finally understood. Did his uncle, the emperor, want to use him to tell the world about his marriage to Yun Luan? "...the emperor's uncle also wants to help the town." The general of the country is keeping vigil?"

"You, an insignificant person, have to keep vigil for the General Zhenguo. Naturally, I can't lose to you. If you kneel at the door to keep vigil, then I will accompany the future princess to the mourning hall to keep vigil... ..." Xiao Tingyan's brows and eyes were filled with joy, and he felt indescribably comfortable. He was still worried just now, what excuse should he find to stay, but he didn't expect Xiao Xuanrui to do him this favor unintentionally. After he said that, he stopped looking at Xiao Xuanrui With an ugly look on his face, Shi Shiran stood up slowly, flicked the non-existent dust on his body, and in front of so many people, Shi Shiran turned around and entered the general's mansion. As soon as Xiao Tingyan left, the common people seemed to have exploded. Whispering. "Did you just hear what King Yan said? Why did I seem to hear him say that he is the fiancé of the Lord of Taiping County?"

"Yes, I heard it too..." "I have a friend who works in Prince Yan's Mansion, and I have some inside information here."

"What inside information?"

"I heard that King Yan had already asked the emperor for a marriage decree."

"Ah, the marriage decree? It's from King Banquet and the Lord of Taiping County?"

"Oh... no wonder, the King of Banquet frequently appears in the General's Mansion. I was wondering before, what is the intersection between the King of Banquet and the General's Mansion. It turns out that this is the case."

"I really didn't expect that King Yan would actually ask to marry the head of Taiping County."

"Who says otherwise? The Taiping County Lord once pursued Prince Rui, and now in the blink of an eye, the County Lord has become the future Princess Yan. I wonder if Prince Rui will be so angry that he vomits blood?"

"Yes, those he doesn't cherish will be held up by others as if they are treasures."
