"What do the southerners say about Xie Yi?"

"Virtuous. ”

After hearing this, Xia Xiao shook his head slightly, not liking this word very much.

Virtue is too modest, or even useless. If the encompassing aspects are too large, they are not representative. But if a prince or princess is not particularly excessive, causing public anger, which one is not virtuous? But whether there is such a character or not, can only be known by really getting along with each other and having a deep understanding.

"Actually, I didn't know him very well, and I wasn't in the same class or dormitory when I was in college, so I didn't have much communication. If it weren't for the alliance between Great Xia and the Southern Kingdom, we might not have been able to greet each other. If I really noticed him, it was when he first told me about the marriage contract. ”

It is said that the people in the academy are the most real, so they want to hear whether Xie Yi is the same person as they heard. They all hope that because of this marriage, nothing will change here.

"After knowing that the second sister was going to marry him, I inquired about him, and this prince completely inherited the gentleness and humility of the southern people, and he was more honest in dealing with the world, and his scheming was not heavy. But I wonder, if he is really that kind of person, why would the emperor give him the opportunity to marry this time?"

"Xiao'er, do you suspect that there is a fraud in it?"

"I can't say for sure, but it's certainly not that simple. ”

Although marriage is not a good thing, whether it is Xia Wan or Xie Yi, from the moment they were chosen, they became tool people. The meaning of the existence of tool people is to be used, but Xie Yi is a student of the academy, so it is naturally impossible for such a person to be the object of trading. This has another theory, this marriage, Xie Yi was selected to protect his position in Yu Gu.

As long as the marriage is completed, even if Xie Yi is not in Yugu, his status will continue to be maintained by Xia Wan as a representative. And because of the latter's identity, under the condition of maintaining the Great Xia Covenant and protecting his own safety, Nanguo will definitely not hurt Xia Wan. In this way, the disguise is equivalent to proving that Xie Yi has the posture of an emperor. Invisibly, the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom has chosen him and began to pave the way for him.

There is no way to confirm this bold guess, but the five members of the Xia family feel that eight or nine are not far from ten, but they have miscalculated!

Xie Yi's talent is indeed one of the best, but he is a little soft-hearted and not suitable to be an emperor. But the king of the southern kingdom has a special opinion about marriage. At this time, Xie Yi came, and this thoughtful king told everything about it. Xie Yi needed an explanation, so Nanwang said:

"Disturbing your practice, have you ever blamed me?"

"Father, it is my duty to share worries for the country. ”

Xie Yi bent over, with the style of a humble gentleman, but in the eyes of the emperor, he still owed some heat. The emperor of the southern kingdom is not tall, but his eyes are like a flowing river, if he can penetrate everything in the southern kingdom. He is not a cultivator, which is why it is strange.

"Then do you know why I used you to marry?"

"I don't know. ”

At first, when the news of marriage reached Xie Yi's ears, he thought of the word starting a family. The truth left by the ancestor has always had great wisdom, but he is still in the academy, is it too early for it? King Nan held the dragon head on the dragon chair, and his voice was like rain, with a little sorrow, washing Xie Yi's body and mind.

"According to common sense, you should not be disturbed by any outside world when you practice in the academy, and you should concentrate on it, but the situation in the Nanguo Palace is a little off. ”

"Father is saying...... Concubine Mei?"

Xie Yi looked at the emperor, who nodded and stood up. He walked down the steps, walked to Xie Yi's side, and walked around him.

"I am a monarch, I must know the hearts of my ministers, and I must distinguish between loyal ministers and traitors. Loyal ministers can rest assured, either for my use, or according to their hearts, all for the good of the south. It can be seen that the wind makes the rudder, and the traitorous villain who has no opinion must be gathered by people, otherwise it will be annoying to form a party in private and fight with each other. The southern kingdom is too small to afford tossing, and because of this, Concubine Mei intervened in court politics. All of this was arranged by me. ”

Xie Yi could also guess these things, but for many reasons, he didn't dig too deep. The emperor's means, since he has seen through it, it is good to avoid it slightly, and if he understands and intervenes too deeply, it will not be of any benefit. In this kind of thing, there is no need to prove that you are smart, otherwise you will be clever and mistaken by wisdom.

Xie Yi looked unaware, as if surprised, and the emperor continued.

"Concubine Mei has a steady heart, is decisive, and is good at grasping people's weaknesses. I gave her the right, and in just a year, she gathered all the unrighteous people in the court. Many courtiers were afraid at first, but they could go up to the court and not rely on the group, and the power of one person could easily be targeted to death. Most of the villains play tricks like this. ”

"Most of the courtiers can guess the reason why Concubine Mei is in power, so they all settle down, no matter which side they are, they are all unprecedentedly efficient. In the past two years, the south has made a lot of progress, and it can be described as a strong army. But because of Concubine Mei, the matter also came from her. As King Rong, Xie Helin has been reorganizing the army all year round, and now his status in the army is comparable to mine. ”

"Father is worried that Concubine Mei is not good for you?"

"As an emperor, who is not afraid of being sought power, usurped the throne, and left behind an eternal infamy? They are not disloyal to me, but they have to be careful, because I can't take back the power in their hands now, and I can't take it back, otherwise it will be even more chaotic. ”

Xie Yi understood, nodded and asked:

"This marriage is just a warning to them?"

"Yes! After the marriage, Xia Wan became another you. She will live in Yugu to remind everyone that there is also a prince who is studying at the academy and will return at any time. The two of you will be the scales that balance the scales of King Rong. ”

The emperor's face showed some tiredness, if it was an ordinary family, who would be suspicious of his children. But this is the sorrow of the emperor, the slightest doubt, everyone around him can't believe it.

"Xie Helin wants to become the crown prince and become the prince, but you are about to surpass him. You know what I mean?"

"Erchen understands. ”

A father-in-law entered the study, and when the emperor saw it, he closed his eyes and said:

"Go down and rest. ”

Xie Yi turned around, and listened to his father say quietly:

"Do not forget my teachings. ”

Xie Yi nodded silently and walked out of the study. At the door, he saw Xie Helin, and the two just glanced at each other in a hurry, did not talk, but just bowed their heads to show goodwill. Although they are half-siblings, they are all strangers, and they are not even as cordial as strangers. The hostility in each other's eyes says it all.

Seeing Xie Helin coming, the emperor said meaningfully:

"Xie Yi has been in the academy for a year, and he has achieved initial results, and after three years, his strength is above you. ”

Xie Helin's face was slightly cold, and after kneeling on the ground, he said:

"Whether in the court or in the rainforest, the sons are willing to sacrifice everything for the south. ”

A few cold lights flashed in the corners of his eyes, and Xie Helin was unwilling. Xie Yi's entry into the academy is remarkable, but he is only two years behind, and two years ago, he is stronger than Xie Yi's strength now.

"Compared to Xie Yi, in fact, I am more optimistic about you, he is a standard southerner, he can become one of the few cards in the south, but it is difficult to become an emperor. Do you know that the emperor wants to be ruthless and lonely for life, and from the moment he sat on the dragon chair, he broke off trust and family ties with many people. ”

The words were full of hints, and when Xie Helin's burly body straightened up, he looked at his father. The father and son looked at each other, hoping and expecting, but more, it was still an incomprehensible meaning. The deep meaning seemed to be a lie, but Xie Helin was still very excited. It was the first time that my father had said it so clearly, and he would not be lying to himself.

The light rain was still falling, Xie Yi held an umbrella and walked among the red-walled corridors, like a lonely ghost in this palace.

What his father said, just listen to it, don't believe it all, this is what his mother taught him since he was a child. And the position of the emperor, Xie Yi was not interested.

After staying in the academy for a long time, the most obvious change is that the main personality has been promoted, and many things you don't like can not be done, and many things you don't like can not be said. Like these complicated rituals in the palace, some of them he didn't want to deal with at all.

The change of the academy to people is now imperceptibly now, so much so that Xie Yi feels that he has not changed, but when he returned to Yu Gu, he found that his resistance to this place has become so much stronger. If it was an ordinary family, maybe going home was a kind of homecoming, but when he returned to Miyagi, he just went back to the cage.

After walking for a long time, Xie Yi stopped in front of the Golden Pavilion Building, where he was entertaining. He didn't go to the Xia family, it was night now, and he had been in a hurry for so long, so he should have a good rest and not be disturbed, but he found someone to take care of. From the mouth of the steward, Xie Yi felt the joy of the Xia family when they met, and explained:

"It's a little cool, so have a brazier ready and bring it in if they need it. There are also mosquito medicines, which are applied to the cracks of doors and windows. ”

The steward promised one by one, he had done all of this, but he had to do some better.

"Your Highness, is there anything else you want to explain?"

After shaking his head, Xie Yi left. His figure was taken into the eyes of Xia Xiao and the others.

On the roof of the building, Xia Xiao and Xia Xu stood on either side of Xia Wan, holding up a special vitality umbrella for her. The rain couldn't wet the dress in the slightest, but Xia Wan was a little moved in her heart.

"Xie Yi, this person, looks fine. ”

This is the first time Xia Wan has commented on Xie Yi, and there is a different kind of tenderness in the eyes of those who have read countless books, as if they are looking forward to the next story. She has read a lot of books, read a lot of other people's stories, and although she has experienced a lot of things herself, in comparison, love is an empty piece of paper.

Although Xia Wan likes to be bland, she also looks forward to being vigorous. That kind of yearning exists in the depths of almost every woman's heart, and the blandness after the vigorous is the most calming.

The current Xia Wan is a bit like Shu Shuang in the past, and she was condemned for life without knowing it. They all prepared for the worst, but fortunately, the result was not bad. At least for now, it seems that nothing leads to the black abyss.

Today is the first night of the Xia family in the south, Xia Xiao and Xia Xu are extremely reluctant to Xia Wan, even if they work the road, they will not leave until the latter is sleepy. Three days later, the wedding was held, and Xia Wan was not only their sister and sister, but also the princess of the southern country.

The humid air in the south gave Xia Wan a more comfortable feeling, she slept very peacefully, and when she woke up, the rain had passed and the sky was clear.
