Chapter 601 (1/2)

December 25, Taihe hall.

Xiao Zimu was absent again. It was reasonable a few days ago, but today it really surprised Wu Taifu and Premier Ju. They thought Xiao Zimu was seriously ill.

At the same time, they were gratified that Xiao mubai came to court.

The party congratulated Xiao mubai one by one. Xiao mubai saluted one by one and went to Xiao Yanjun's side and said to him, ”thank you for the fourth brother's wedding.”

Xiao Yanjun raised a dark smile on his face, hissed and said to him, ”the second brother came here just in time today, let...”

Before he finished, the Golden Bell and jade chime rang in the hall, and the emperor was already facing the dynasty.

The ministers quickly returned to their own position and stood silently, but Xiao Yanjun stood in the middle and didn't return. Instead, he stepped forward and said, ”father, emperor, my son and minister have something to start.”

Xiao mubai stood beside Wu Taifu, and Wen Yan also stepped forward: ”the fourth brother is so clever, and the second brother has something to play.”

Although the courtiers on both sides have long been clear-cut, they did not expect that the two men were so tense when they were just facing the court.

”Then let the second brother speak first.” Although Xiao Yanjun's tone was mild, his eyes looked at him with disdain. His slightly raised chin seemed to be watching a man's dying words.

”Good.” Xiao mubai glanced at him faintly and turned to face the Emperor: ”on his way back to Beijing, he met the third childe of the Qiao family of the state of Liang. He has always loved traveling. He heard that his son returned to Beijing and rushed to the fourth younger brother's wedding. Naturally, he also wanted to witness the prosperous era of the marriage between the two countries, so his son took him back to Beijing.”

He paused here, but Xiao Yanjun's face had turned pig liver color.

Concubine Li sent someone to inform him last night that Xiao mubai and childe Qiao are the same person.

He was just about to report the matter to the emperor. If it is true, the accusation of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country should be put aside. At least Xiao mubai's military power should be handed over first.

Xiao Yanjun frowned and stared at Xiao mubai. He saw a little blush on his face. Then he said, ”this is not that he went to Dali temple and ignored the third childe Qiao just after returning to the capital. Today, he just took him into the palace to see his father and Emperor. You can also go to see his mother and concubine later.”

The emperor nodded and said, ”if your mother imperial concubine sees the descendants of the Qiao family, she will be happy.”

Hearing this, the ministers also reacted one after another. The empress Qi's mother is the direct daughter of the Qiao family. In this way, it is reasonable for Xiao Mu to take him back to the capital.

With Duke Li's voice: ”the third son of Xuanqiao has an audience.”

Outside the hall, a dignified man slowly walked in. He was dressed in modest but noble clothes, all made of high-quality cotton satin.

With his steps, the courtiers on both sides couldn't help taking a breath.

Walking closer, I just found that his eyebrows were thick and black, his eyes were bright, his black hair was like silk, his mouth was cold and tight, and his beautiful face was carved like a knife. His appearance was seven or eight points similar to Xiao mubai.

But he wanted to be gentle and kind, and Xiao mubai's body had a touch of alienation.

”Qiao Mobai, the third son of the Qiao family of the state of Liang, see the emperor.” He respectfully performed the etiquette of the state of Liang. If it weren't for the relationship of clothes, at first glance, the ministers might not be so clear.

”I've always heard that the Qiao family is behind the door, so there's a playful girl like you.” The emperor motioned to him to straighten up, and a loving smile hung on his face.
