Chanyi and Xianyi accompanied Xie and Mrs. Xia, who returned to the house, had lunch in Fushoutang.

Chanyi was sitting on the warm kang in Fushoutang, peeling a lucky orange to eat.

Xian Yi looked at Mrs. Xia, who was in a good mood, and said, "Grandmother, I want to go to Fahua Temple today to ask for a peace charm for my sister." ”

Xie Shi looked at Xian Yi strangely, but Chan Yi smiled gently: "The fourth sister is bothered." ”

Old Madam Xia nodded, "Since you have this heart, then bring a few more rough envoys, go early and return early." ”

Xian Yi didn't expect it to be so easy, so she put a bright smile on her face and took Chan Yi's hand: "Second sister, do you want something, I'll bring it to you from Fahua Temple." ”

Chanyi looked at her softly and chuckled: "No need, be careful on the road, if you encounter something difficult, you must protect yourself, you know." ”

In a word, Xian Yi's heart was cold, staring at the smile on Chan Yi's face, facing her clear eyes, there was a feeling of unease, did she notice it?

Chan Yi saw Xian Yi looking at herself suspiciously, smiled slightly, and urged: "Go quickly, come back early, I'll make maltose on the stove for you to eat." ”

Xian Yi couldn't help but think that Chan Yi was so kind, if she really noticed something, it would be impossible for her to smile like this.

She put down the doubts in her heart and said with a smile, "I'll clean up." With that, he went back to the house and packed up his things and prepared to go out.

Old Madam Xia's face immediately sank, and she instructed Mother Zhang, "You go and tell Liuyue and Qiuyue to look at her more, and don't let her do things that go against the family style." ”

Zhang's mother responded and retreated.

Xie Shi frowned: "Wanwan, can you do this idea?"

Chanyi said with a smile: "You have to see what they want to do first, and when the second brother comes back, we will ask the second brother about the movement over there." ”

Old Madam Xia saw that Chanyi was only eleven years old, and she had already thought of such a perfect idea, and her heart was slightly calm, and she hugged Chanyi, "Grandmother is going now, and I don't worry about you being bullied." ”

Chanyi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "What nonsense did grandmother say? Grandmother hasn't watched the eldest brother marry and have children with the second brother, how can she think about being the shopkeeper, and your great-grandson still wants you to raise her." ”

Mrs. Xia laughed when she listened to Chanyi's persuasion, and her granddaughter always had a way to make her happy.

Tomorrow is the New Year, Chanyi discussed some affairs on the stove with Mrs. Xia and the Xie family, and said that she would make some sugar melons and maltose to sacrifice to the king of the stove.

Xian Yi sat in the car, all the way to the Fahua Temple, close to the end of the year, the Fahua Temple is not as lively as in the past, there are only a few pilgrims coming and going.

Xian put incense on her clothes and asked for a peace charm, and was led to the side room by the monk of Fahua Temple to rest.

Liuyue and Qiuyue were sent to the door by Xianyi, and Xianyi was the only one sitting in the wing, her heart fluttering in a panic.

I saw a painting hanging in the wing, and suddenly opened it from behind, and a handsome young man walked out from behind the wall, with a touch of coldness hanging on the corner of his mouth, and saw a malicious smile in Xianyi's eyes.

"Fourth Miss really keeps her word, she got something so quickly?"

Xian Yi couldn't help but tremble when she saw him, hurriedly took a few steps back, and said softly: "I, I got it, my things, should you give them back to me?"

Seeing her defensive, the young man smiled absently, sat down at the table, picked up the small white porcelain hanging pot and poured himself a cup of tea, "I don't know if you just took something to coax me ......"

Xian Yi's eyes widened, and she took out the sweat towel, afraid that he wouldn't be able to see it clearly, so she moved the sweat towel a little closer to him, "Look at it, this is embroidered by Xia Chanyi herself, I watched it with my own eyes when she embroidered, if you don't believe it, I can't ...... it."

There were tears in Xian Yi's eyes, and her eyes were watery, which made people feel very distressed.

The young man glanced at her sideways, such a delicate appearance, with a sense of grievance, but it made people look reluctant, he got up with a smile, approached Xian Yi, Xian Yi instantly trembled, it seems that the last time she was scared a lot.

The young man smiled slightly, his handsome appearance was even more outstanding against the demeanor of his family's children, he took the sweat towel in Xian Yi's hand in his hand, reached out and touched her lip, "Okay, I'll believe you once." ”

Xian Yi hurriedly said: "My things, you should return me, right?"

The young man tilted his head and approached her, his tone was indescribably soft, but it was thundering in Xianyi's ears, "Do you have your clothes? ”

Xian Yi covered her lips, her fingers trembling and pointed at him, "...... You, you don't keep your promises!"

The young man looked at her and smiled mockingly, "What can you do if I don't keep my promise?"

The fire in Xian Yi's brain rushed to the top of her head, she reached out to grab the sweat towel in the young man's hand, and the young man grabbed her wrist and shook her gently, throwing her down on the table, and the tea set on the table was knocked out with a loud sound.

The two maids outside the door heard it and hurriedly said at the door, "Fourth Miss, do you have any orders?"

As he spoke, he was about to push the door in, and Xian Yi said loudly: "It's okay, don't come in!"

The maids looked at each other, but they did not dare to make any moves, so they had to put their ears to the door frame and listen carefully to the movements in the room.

The young man lifted her angry face, kissed her cheek, reached out and rubbed her trembling body vigorously, and said softly: "Count you smart, don't worry, I can't do without your benefits." ”

After saying that, he lifted the painting on the wall and entered the wall.

Xian Yi clenched her fists, and the hatred in her heart couldn't be held back any longer, and she brushed the tea set on the table to the ground.

The maids at the door heard the noise and hurriedly pushed the door in, and saw Xian Yi glaring at them with red eyes, and scolded loudly: "You fools, what are you doing here?"

Liuyue Qiuyue didn't dare to argue, the door slammed shut, and her clothes fell to the ground weakly, holding her legs and crying silently.

Far away in the Qianyuan Hall in the Yunfu Imperial City, the emperor sat at the desk and rubbed his eyebrows for a long time.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuande lightly served a cup of tea, "Your Majesty, you can have a cup of tea and rest for a while." ”

The emperor stretched out his hand to take the teacup, took a sip gently, and his eyes fell on the fold he had just picked out, which was clearly written in pavilion style, but it made him feel the force of a stroke through the back of the paper, and he could even feel the indignation of the person who wrote the fold at that time.

The emperor's eyes narrowed, and he put the tea bowl on the desk, "My horse market was pinched in the hands of these people, and the war horses reported to me are getting worse and worse year by year, and now they are blatantly making such small movements in front of the people I sent, do you really think that I am a papier-mâché tiger?"

Zhao Yuande hung his head and didn't dare to talk.

The emperor glanced at the excerpt of the impeachment of Xia Shijing, and then looked at the excerpt presented by Wang Jue, and sighed silently.

These days, the third child returned to the palace, and the reaction of the court seemed to be small, but all the piles and piles were aimed at the horse market in the northwest, whether it was the impeachment of the third child, the impeachment of Xia Shijing's unfair judgment, or some things in the back house, all of them revolved around these people, Xia Shijing's mind was too simple, and he was discovered after only a few years of raising the third child, which was really useless.

The emperor took a look at it, put the fold in his hand over, got up from the pile of folds and walked out of the hall, "Go to Ci'an Palace." ”

……

In Ci'an Palace, the Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows, looked at the eldest princess of Changning, and asked, "So, have you seen it?"

The eldest princess of Changning nodded: "Originally, the ministers thought that the Ningguo Mansion was our old minister of Dayan, and they were bewitched by others, so it was inevitable that they would be confused for a while, and they wanted to give them a chance......"

"If you don't tell me, this is just a moment of confusion!" the Empress Dowager interrupted, "The Ningguo Mansion is an old minister, can it be that he can persecute others willingly? Even if the clan does such a thing, the emperor can't spare them, let alone the Ningguo Mansion!"

Saying that, the Queen Mother's face turned cold, "If it weren't for Mrs. Xia entering the palace and telling me this in advance, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known that there were still people in Yunfu City who were so bold." ”

The queen mother's categorical words made the eldest princess of Changning suddenly startled, could it be that the emperor had already made up his mind to punish the Ningguo Mansion?

She hurriedly said: "This matter is Erchen thinking left, didn't Erchen hurriedly enter the palace to tell you." ”

The Empress Dowager's face did not ease in the slightest, and she instructed the palace people around her, "Go and hand a sign to the Duchess of Ningguo, and ask her to come to Ci'an Palace early tomorrow morning." ”

The palace people got the order, hurriedly took the sign and retreated.

The eldest princess of Changning saw that her mother was still angry, and she diverged her words, "Haven't you seen the queen mother, Miss Xia is only eleven years old, she was born very well, her eyes are faint and bright, when the doctor woman bandaged her wound, you think how heavy the wound is, her whole face is white, and the beads of sweat are all over her head, but she endures it stiffly, I can't help but like this child when I see it." ”

Concubine Zhuang looked proud and said with a smile: "It's exactly the same as my sister's temper when she was a child." ”

The Queen Mother's face eased a little, and she reached out and patted Concubine Zhuang's hand, "In the end, it is a child taught by a scholarly family, how can it be the same as those ignorant things." ”

The eldest princess of Changning was secretly surprised in her heart, the queen mother had not seen the Duchess of Ningguo, and the meaning of her words had already faintly reproached the Duchess of Ningguo for being ignorant, and the Duchess of Ningguo was a nobleman who had been handed down for a hundred years in Dayan.

……

In the Ningguo Mansion, which was only two streets away from the imperial city, Gu Yi handed over the sweat towel in his hand to his mother.

Duchess Ning Guo's face was happy, and she looked at the sweat towel over and over: "Have you checked it out?

The corners of Gu Yi's mouth twitched, "I forgive her for not daring to coax me, otherwise her reputation will be ruined." ”

Duchess Ning Guo raised a smug smile, "Just now the Queen Mother sent a message and asked me to enter the palace tomorrow, I inquired and found out that those things of the Xia family that were not on the table went to the palace, hmph, I have to ask them well, how did my daughter's things get into my son's hands!"
