   Chapter 259 Incredible, underestimating Xiao Man...

  In the Wenhua Hall, Emperor Wei's expression softened slightly.

  Obviously, he likes the sixth prince's act of acting like a spoiled child.

  The sixth prince was very good-natured. Seeing the change in Emperor Wei's expression, his eyes rolled and fell on Cheng Ling, and he asked, "Father, who is this? My son has never seen him before."

   This question asked about the pride of Emperor Wei. He was like a person who had a baby and wanted to show it off. He laughed and said, "This one is my secretary! Cheng Ling, Cheng Yuzhi."

   It was just a face-to-face sage, and Emperor Wei decided Cheng Ling's official title.

  The emperor's close minister, secretary, supervisor, secretary, and official position from the fifth rank, no big or small, but it can be said that he has reached the sky in one step!

   There is no other reason, just because the emperor likes it.

   And this position, it is said that it has great power, but it is not so big, because the secretary obviously does not have the real power to decide anything, but if the power is small, who would dare to say that the power of the emperor's close ministers is small?

  Accompany the emperor, sort out state affairs, and read books for the emperor. If the words "Your Majesty's blue eyes" are added to the blessing, its invisible power is simply infinite.

   In this way, if Cheng Ling can't make actual achievements after a period of time, a jester's hat will inevitably be buckled on her head.

   But even if he has real achievements, it is difficult to get rid of the title of "Jester" who started his career.

   But so what?

  Secretary is just a step. As long as he stands higher and higher, there will always be more people standing in front of Cheng Ling who greet her with a smile than those who reject her.

   She really couldn't take the imperial examination, and she didn't come from a family, so she could only find another way.

  The strong are not afraid of shortcuts. If you don’t believe it, will you look at it again after thousands of years?

   Don't say thousands of years later, just say that now, hearing that Cheng Ling is the emperor's secretary, the sixth prince bowed to her and called out with a smile: "Secretary Cheng."

Of course, Cheng Ling wouldn't be overwhelmed by the Sixth Prince's politeness. When I saw him today, this Sixth Prince seemed innocent and cute, but in fact he was only afraid of 108,000 hearts, like Xiao Man's sensitive and arrogant heart. No wonder people who still have sincerity can't fight him.

  Cheng Ling cupped his hands, bowed back and said, "I have seen the Sixth Highness."

   Then she looked at Emperor Wei again and was about to leave again.

   But I don't know if it's because of what I said just now, or because today's timing is really clever. Just when Cheng Ling was about to leave for the second time, Chang Hong came to report again.

   What Chang Hong reported this time was: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is here."

  The prince is here, and Xiao Man is here!

In April, Cheng Ling and Xiao Mancai said goodbye in Yongzhou. At that time, they thought it would be a difficult time to say goodbye, but how could they have expected that it was only a month before they met again in the Wei Palace? .

  Xiao Man entered Beijing earlier than Cheng Ling. Cheng Ling didn't know when he returned to the palace from the "Xiangguo Temple", but he only saw that the expression of the sixth prince became a little stiff at this moment.

  The smile on Emperor Wei's face faded slightly, but his attitude was generally mild. He said, "Prince Xuan, come in."

   For some reason, Cheng Ling heard it, and felt that there was a faint sigh in the tone of Emperor Wei's words.

   And at this moment, the expression of the sixth prince has been adjusted.

   When Xiao Man strode into the hall, the sixth prince greeted him like a gust of wind and shouted, "Brother Prince!"

   also saluted the prince obediently and said with a smile: "Please be safe, brother prince!"

   Xiao Man's footsteps paused slightly, his eyes passed the sixth prince, and fell on Cheng Ling, who was standing beside him.

   There was no obvious expression on his face, but the moment he saw Cheng Ling, his eyes moved slightly, as if the stars were shining brightly.

  Cheng Ling also jumped in her heart, but she immediately lowered her head, bowed to Xiao Man and said, "Xiaguan Cheng Ling, see Your Royal Highness."

  The officials of Wei state generally do not kneel to other princes except the emperor. Of course, the prince is different from the ordinary prince. In terms of status, the prince is also a prince. If he is a cautious conservative, or is the original princeling, he may also kneel to the princeling.

  Cheng Ling's bow immediately awakened Xiao Man. He first turned to the Sixth Prince's salute, helped him up, and returned the salute: "The Sixth Brother has done so much, why is it so."

   raised his hand to Cheng Ling again and said, "Don't be too polite, please get up."

   Then Yue Chengling and the sixth prince walked up to Emperor Wei, lifted the hem of his clothes, and knelt down on his knees.

   "Father, my son is late!"

   Wei Huang said with a stern face: "Have you been to Xiangguo Temple again these few days?"

  It turned out that although Xiaoman returned to Beijing in early May, he also went to the palace to see Emperor Wei, but after that, he did not live directly in the East Palace, but turned his head and "returned" to Xiangguo Temple again.

  This kind of behavior is hard to say whether Emperor Wei is disappointed or relieved. After all, your heart is unpredictable. With such a prince, who can know what the emperor thinks?

   Cheng Ling didn't know about these for the time being, but listening to the conversation between Xiao Man and Emperor Wei, she could feel that the relationship between the father and son was still stiff and awkward.

   It seems that before returning to Beijing, Cheng Ling told Xiao Man that he wanted to "muse" Emperor Wei as an ordinary father, but Xiao Man did not do it.

   But this is probably no wonder Xiaoman, the ten-year-old sixth prince can act like a spoiled brat to Emperor Wei, but the eighteen-year-old Xiaoman has been separated from his father for many years.

Xiao Man knelt down in front of Emperor Wei and said: "Father, the morning bell and evening drums in the temple can always bring infinite peace to my heart. Whenever the bell rings and my son remembers when he was young, Father takes me by the arm and walks down the long steps. When the snow falls, you hold an umbrella for me..."

  Xiao Man's voice was slightly cold and quiet, perhaps because he had been reading Buddhist scriptures for too long, and the quietness of his tone even seemed to have the smell of Buddha's fragrance lingering around.

   When he recalled the past so slowly, an image of the beloved son of Emperor Wei's father appeared vividly in the listener's mind as if it had reappeared yesterday.

   Wei Huang was the most affected, his expression became more and more gentle, and his gaze towards Xiao Man gradually became soft and cherished.

   Cheng Ling, who was listening:…

  Ashamed, I underestimate Brother Xiao, how can you not play emotional cards? It's so good!

Emperor Wei sighed, and he bent down to help Xiao Man himself and said: "You are in Xiangguo Temple, it's okay to nurture your temperament, but you shouldn't be too addicted to Buddhism. You are my prince, the crown prince of the country, you can't take it seriously. Cultivating Buddhism with one mind, what would it be like?"

  Xiao Man got up and said: "Father, recite the scriptures to understand the heart, so that the sons and ministers can see the source. Although it is to cultivate Buddha, it is also to cultivate me."

   With such mysterious words, it can be seen that he really cultivated with his heart.

   Emperor Wei nodded, seemingly satisfied.

  Xiao's cool and handsome face finally showed a slight smile.
