Quick Wear: After becoming cannon fodder, she became so cool

When Huo Chen went out for the last time, although Huo Xi was only over four years old, he always remembered his brother's heroic appearance in his heart.

His father and elder brother have been his role models since he was a child, and he is also proud of him from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing his brother sitting next to his sister-in-law alive, talking and laughing, Huo Xi rarely felt hot and red under his eyes.

He entered the door and saluted first, "Brother, sister-in-law!"

Huo Xingchen already knew about Huo Xi from Qingyou, and he looked at Wen Lanjunya's younger brother with a look of relief.

And stood up, reached out and patted Huo Xi's shoulder, "Xiao Xi has grown so big."

He still has the impression of Huo Xi when he was a child, a little fan, more likable than his own son.

Huo Xi's eyes were full of admiration, "Brother hasn't changed much, he's still so heroic."

It's great that big brother is back alive.

Huo Xingchen said with a smile: "Not only has he grown up, but he has also become so good at talking."

Qingyou looked at the two with soft eyebrows and smiled, "Sit down and catch up on the old days."

After the two sat down, she took Nanny Qi out to arrange lunch.

After lunch, the family returned to the capital in a carriage.

Huo Tong took Qiao Xinyue back to Qiao's house, while Qingyou and Huo Jiwen went to the palace to meet the emperor.

The two brought Huo Xi into the palace together.

At the door of the imperial study, I met the prince who just came out.

He greeted Qingyou and Huo Chen with a smile.

Qingyou looked at him and asked with a smile, "Are you busy?"

The prince smiled and said, "Not busy, what's up, aunt?"

Qingyou said bluntly: "Xiaoxi is not familiar with the palace for the first time, we still have some things to do, so if you are not busy, please help take care of him."

Since she introduced "Qingfeng Taoist Master" to the emperor to detoxify the prince, the prince has become much closer to her.

There is also more frequent movement between her and the queen.

So I didn't see much with the prince.

She deliberately brought Huo Xi into the palace today to get acquainted with the emperor and the prince.

After the prince's body recovered, the weak dragon energy on his body also recovered together.

Surrounded by purple energy now, it is no accident that he will be the next new emperor.

Although the Duke's Mansion does not participate in the seizure of the heir apparent and standing in line, it does not mean that it cannot be on good terms with the crown prince.

Huo Chen and the emperor used to have a very good relationship in private. Although they didn't take sides explicitly, they also helped the emperor when he was still the prince.

So after the emperor came to power, he still reused the Huo family.

In the happy life of the original body, the current prince is the new emperor.

However, Huo Xi's temperament and behavior style after the imperial examination were very suitable for the new emperor, so Huo Xi was reused and promoted, and the monarch and his ministers benefited from each other.

This time Qingyou sent Huo Xi to the prince in advance, creating an opportunity for the two to get acquainted.

The crown prince ascended the throne and became the next emperor. In the future, Huo Xi would be able to inherit the Duke's Mansion and be reused.

The prince has already heard from his father that Duke Zhen came back alive.

This will see Zhen Guogong is not so shocked.

He also knew about the assassination of Huo Xi by the fourth child and Huo Jiwen, as well as the decision of his father and aunt to change heirs.

Compared with Huo Jiwen, the prince's first impression of Huo Xi was very pleasing to the eye.

Naturally, he also wanted to make friends with the future heir of the Duke's Mansion, so he smiled gently at Qingyou and the other two and said, "Aunt and Uncle can go to work at ease, I will take Huo Xi to the East Palace for a while."...

He was very happy that his aunt and aunt did not see each other.

Qingyou nodded and smiled: "Okay, we'll come to the East Palace to find him after finishing our business."

Huo Xi followed the prince to the East Palace, and the chief eunuch beside the emperor also came out to invite the two into the imperial study.

After entering the imperial study, Qingyou and Huo Xingchen saluted the emperor.

The emperor looked at Huo Xingchen fixedly.

He showed a surprised smile, "I am very happy that you can come back alive."

His eyes fell on Huo Xingchen's bandaged head and asked, "Is your injury okay?"

Huo Xingchen bowed his hands to the emperor with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, my injury is not serious."

The emperor nodded, and turned to look at Qingyou, "The queen mother misses you, go and accompany her."

As soon as Qingyou heard it, she knew that the emperor was going to send her away, "Okay, then I'll go find the queen mother."

After she left, the emperor asked the chief eunuch to bring a chess set.

Then he looked at Huo Xingchen and asked: "We haven't played chess for so many years, how about a game?"

Huo Xingchen knew that the emperor wanted to test himself.

He has a memory and his own chess skills are not bad, so he smiled openly and said, "Okay."

While the two were playing chess, the emperor would say a few words from time to time, all of which happened with Huo Chen more than ten years ago.

Huo Xingchen not only agreed, but also took the initiative to say something that only the two of them knew.

After a game of chess, the emperor also confirmed that the person in front of him was indeed Huo Chen.

The few things they talked about were all the little things in life, and it was impossible for the spies to know.

Moreover, Huo Chen's chess playing style and moves are still the same as before, and this is something that others cannot pretend.

The two played three games in a row, each with one win, one loss and one draw, which was the same as when the emperor was still the prince.

The emperor smiled and said in a good mood: "It seems that although you have lost your memory, you have not lost your level of chess."

Huo Xingchen said with a smile: "I have recovered my memory."

The emperor then chatted with Huo Xingchen about the court affairs, and asked him to return to the Duke's mansion to heal his head injury before coming to the court.

Naturally, Huo Xingchen would not refuse, since he is now the Duke of Zhen, he will assume the responsibility of the Duke's Mansion.

After talking about what happened in the court hall, the emperor thought about it and asked tentatively, "Do you know what Ji Wen did?"

Mentioning this, the smile on Huo Xingchen's face faded a bit, "Understood, that's an unfilial son."

The emperor saw his appearance, and asked again: "Qingyou told me earlier that she wanted to change the heir of the Duke's mansion, what do you think?"

In the past, he made all his orders for his younger sister, but now he has to be more scruples about Huo Chen.

Huo Xingchen said with a smile: "I will listen to Madam."

"I have heard from my wife and the old man in the Duke's Mansion what Ji Wen has done these days, and he is really embarrassing."

"Madam wants Huo Xi to inherit the Duke's Mansion in the future, and I agree."

The emperor was a little surprised. He didn't expect that after Huo Chen came back, he would listen to his sister and deprive his own son of his heir.

Expressing your opinion in front of him means confirming your support for his sister.

He half-jokingly asked: "Since you are back, why don't you have another son with Qingyou?"

In fact, in his heart, he prefers his younger sister's biological child to inherit the Duke's mansion, and if Huo Jiwen can't do it, just have another one.

Anyway, my younger sister is only in her thirties, much younger than when Huo Chen's mother gave birth to Huo Xi, two or three rebirths are actually fine.

Huo Xingchen wanted to have a child with Youyou, but in the small world, it was impossible for them to have a child due to the obstacles of the power of the world.

Moreover, if the child is brought up, he will have feelings. What will the child do when he arrives in the next small world, or returns to the original world?

He said with a bit of embarrassment: "I was injured when I fell off the cliff before, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to have any more children in the future."

This is also to make the emperor no longer have other ideas.

The emperor was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Huo Chen with some sympathy, "That's really a pity."

At the same time, I also feel a little owed, after all, Huo Chen fought for the court back then.

If Huo Chen hadn't knocked down the enemy's leader off the cliff together, the border would not have been so stable these years.

So I am going to continue to reuse Huo Chen.
