Chapter 54: Temptation VII
Xia Zihai raised his head and looked at his mother, his voice was still smiling, or the gentleness of gossip, but there were only one or two traces of smile left in the corner of his lips, his black eyes seemed to be bottomless black, and even the bright lights couldn't shine through, he asked, "Erchen did go to the rest garden, but I don't know who told my mother?"
Mei Qianqian's face was calm, and she made up an excuse casually, she didn't say Mu Yunyun's name, and naturally she didn't say everything Mu Yunyun had come to Cinnabar Palace and mentioned. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Xia Zihai heard Mei Qianqian's words, picked up the teacup and took a sip, his eyes stayed on the teacup, his fingers rubbed the teacup, thoughtful, but silent and silent.
Mei Qianqian looked at Xia Zihai's expression with a shallow hesitation, and wanted to speak again and again, but in the end it only turned into an unspoken sigh, and she had to ask tactfully, "Hai'er has been back to Beijing these days, I don't know what to do?"
Xia Zihai replied, "My father did not let his sons participate in political affairs, and his sons naturally did not dare to make mistakes, but they just read some books in the house, and the history books and soldiers' books were idle and miscellaneous, but that's it." ”
After he finished answering, he seemed to be unable to bear to look at Mei's shallow hesitation, and replied directly, "Does Mother want to know something? Uncle as a Qin sent a messenger to dissolve the water, this time the dissolved water accident he sent a messenger into Beijing, the first time is naturally to report to the emperor, this is the top secret urgent news, the uncle is impossible to faint, but also take this unnecessary risk to reveal the news to the son. Therefore, the sons went to the garden to rest for the sake of marriage. ”
The two looked at each other, and Mei Qianqian wanted to ask "is it true" again, but saw that Xia Zihai had an undoubted look on his face, so he didn't continue to ask. But then she was sad again, and opened her mouth to persuade, "Hai'er, where did you hear about this marriage? You should know that the news of this marriage came suddenly, and the content is very absurd, and your mother has never heard your father mention it, so why should you be so serious." ”
Xia Zihai was silent again, as if he didn't want to respond to this matter, but seeing that his mother in front of him looked so nervous and concerned, his eyes flickered slightly, as if he hesitated again and again, but finally relented and said, "Erchen knows that the fact of the marriage between Dazhao and Dayong is not credible, and it is absolutely impossible. The father deliberately leaked this news, probably to test whether the people around him were reliable. Or maybe it's not just for temptation, it's also a trick. ”
Mei Qianqian was shocked in her heart, and her face looked as usual, but unfortunately Xia Zihai's smiling gaze in front of her was like an impenetrable net, she lowered her eyes and hid her smile, "What a trick, Hai'er, don't think about it." ”
"I hope that the sons think more, then ask the mother to tell the sons and daughters, during the autumn hunt, whether Xiyi has quietly sent envoys into Beijing, intending to follow the example of Nanqin, and be sheltered under the wings of Dayong, and hope to be able to marry the two clans, and ask for peace with Dayong? Therefore, on the 10th of this month, when the Xiyi envoy sent someone to Beijing again to inform him of his hope and the request of his relatives to choose, had his father already made a decision?"
