Let's say that Xiao Tang drank back "Wang Xi", slapped the relevant dossier at hand, twisted his eyebrows and snorted coldly: "It really doesn't make sense, it's not decent." ”

Wen Ping and Chen Ji, who were standing there, looked at each other and were puzzled, so Wen Ping said boldly: "My lord, that prince just now...... He speaks fluently, responds with great speed, and in the opinion of an official, he is the best of all the people he has seen for so many days, how can the adults drink him out?"

Xiao Tang glanced at him, but he just snorted coldly, and Wen Ping hurriedly lowered his head and said, "It's the official who is too talkative." ”

Xiao Tang threw Wang Xi's file aside and said, "Burn it." ”

Wen Ping couldn't, so he had to take the file and go out, who knew that when he went out of the room, he saw the previous Wang Xi standing at the door, lost his soul, and his face was like earth.

Wen Ping was stunned, and hurriedly pulled him to the side, because he had a pity in his heart, seeing that Wang Xi was like this again, he couldn't help but feel a little pity and sympathy, because he whispered: "Lord Tang may be in a bad mood today, and we don't know why, but there is no way, you can just die." ”

Wang Xi saw him holding his arm, so he ducked back, but he refused to leave.

Wen Ping was surprised and said, "Aren't you leaving? If you anger the adults, it's not easy to play." ”

Wang Xi raised his eyes to look at him, but Wen Ping saw that his eyes were black and white, with a bit of a sense of decisiveness, and when he was stunned, Wang Xi left him and went to Xiao Tang's room again.

Wen Ping was taken aback, and hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Hey, what are you doing?" It's just that it's a little late, and he only pulled a handful of Wang Xi's shirt slightly, but he didn't pull it, but he actually went to the door.

Wen Ping was dumbfounded, but a little frightened, they were used to serving Xiao Tang, knowing that although Xiao Tang Suri was an extremely gentle Bodhisattva, how could he be angry, but he was also a King Kong temperament, where the thunderbolt fire, there was really no grass.

It's just that it's too late to stop Wang Xi now, Wen Ping gritted his teeth and trembled, watching from the sidelines, but he didn't know what this Wang Xi was going to do.

But he said that Xiao Tang was worried, and suddenly heard a slight noise outside, and was surprised, and saw a figure at the door, but it was "Wang Xi" who went and returned.

Xiao Tang immediately frowned, his eyes were annoyed, and he looked at this person with displeasure.

At this time, Chen Ji was also busy stepping forward, and wanted to drive Wang Xi away, and said: "Why are you back again? Why don't you leave here well?"

However, Wang Xi didn't seem to be aware of it, and he didn't accept Chen Ji's kindness, but just looked at Xiao Tang and said, "The villain still has a few words to explain to the adults." ”

When Chen Ji heard this, he secretly complained, and at this moment, Wen Ping also probed his brain and appeared, showing him a helpless expression.

Xiao Tang listened to Wang Xi's words, but he didn't immediately drink the order and drive away, because he looked at him silently for a moment, and finally said to Wen Ping and Chen Ji: "You go out first." ”

Seeing that Xiao Tang did not have a seizure, the two of them were slightly relieved, and they bowed and saluted, and they really exited the door.

At this moment, Wang Xi stepped into the inner room again.

Not to mention that Wen Chen and the two are suspicious, I don't know why. Just said that Wang Ximai stepped inside, Xiao Tang raised his eyes slightly, and said, "You are so bold, what else do you have to say?"

When Wang Xi heard this, he didn't make a sound, just lifted his robe, bent his knees, and knelt on the ground.

Seeing this, Xiao Tang's face still did not change, and said, "What does this mean." ”

Wang Xi said: "I already knew that I couldn't hide it from Lord Tang, but I still wanted to try my luck." ”

Xiao Tang snorted lightly, noncommittal.

Wang Xi raised her hand and wiped it on her head, picked off the hairpin and the crown, and suddenly her head was full of green silk and fell on the side of her cheeks, and her eyes were drooping, and her willow eyebrows were slightly frowned, revealing a bit of a woman's delicate beauty.

It turns out that this Wang Xi is not really the son of Wang Kexun, but Wang Huanxi, the second lady of the Wang family.

Xiao Tang saw the clue as early as when she entered the door, after all, there is a difference between men and women, Wang Xi is tall and slender, Wang Huanxi is a little petite, the other people in the Ministry of Rites have not seen the children of the Wang family before, but it is okay, Xiao Tang is famous and unforgettable, not to mention that the behavior of men and women is also different after all, although Wang Huanxi has tried his best to cover it up, after all, there are flaws, and Xiao Tang has seen her twice before, so just glance at it, and recognize it as Wang Huanxi.

Xiao Tang originally thought that Wang Huanxi was here to make trouble, but if it was just nonsense, how could she pass the assessment of the bottom crowd? Therefore, she asked her to say a few words of Silla, but what she said was actually a folk song in praise of him sung by the local natives when she crossed the Daxue Mountain that day.

Although Xiao Tang was a little surprised that Wang Huanxi's Silla language was good, and the response was quite changeable, but after all, she knew that she was a woman, and she thought that people in the boudoir only stayed in the inner house as a good student, but she disguised herself and went to the Ministry of Rites to enter the room, so shocking, in Xiao Tang's opinion, it was naturally unorthodox.

What's more, as a translator, the most important thing is to be faithful to the original meaning, the word "faithful", but not only the ability to translate, but also the character of a person.

Therefore, Wang Huanxi is a woman, and it is already a big exceedance for a woman to dress up as a man, and impersonation involves faithful character, which is naturally unbearable everywhere in Xiao Tang's view.

It's just that Xiao Tang didn't expect that Wang Huanxi was drunk by him, and he still had the courage to come back, but he wanted to see what she had to say.

Now seeing Wang Huanxi revealing his identity, Xiao Tang sneered: "Since you know that I will see through it, how can you knowingly commit it? If I hadn't seen through your deeds and been seen through by anyone else, do you think this would be your business alone?"

When Wang Huanxi heard this, he slowly raised his head, stared at Xiao Tang and said: "I know that I am reckless, if the matter is revealed, I am only afraid that my father-in-law will be hindered, but I also know that Lord Tang is very protective of my father-in-law, so I dare to ......."

When Xiao Tang heard this, the more angry he became, the more angry he became, and said coldly: "Since ancient times, there have been coercion and revenge, but you have the intention of revenge...... You're so presumptuous. ”

Wang Huanxi looked at him for a moment, and tears welled up in her eyes, and said: "The little girl knows that the sin is unforgivable, but when my father was guilty, my brother and sister and I became prisoners, and later we were rescued by our father-in-law and came to Beijing...... Naturally, he knew that his father-in-law had a noble character, and he only hated himself for being a woman, but he couldn't repay him. ”

Xiao Tang thought she was asking for mercy, but he was indifferent.

Who knew that Wang Huanxi wiped away his tears, and said: "My sister once advised me to stay in the house with peace of mind, and it is best to listen to my father-in-law's opinion...... Because I heard that the Ministry of Rites had a recruitment list - when Huanxi was young, there was a Silla woman who was a nursing mother, so she knew Silla since she was a child, so she had this idea...... I don't want to be just the daughter of a criminal minister for the rest of my life, and I don't want to marry someone to live a life, if I can do my best to do something, I can live up to the grace of my father-in-law to save him, or I can atone for the sins committed by my father...... Ask Lord Tang for forgiveness. ”

Wang Huanxi said that, then leaned over and knocked his head to the ground.

After Xiao Tang heard this, he was a little surprised, and when he saw Wang Huanxi lying on the ground, he was speechless for a long time.

In an instant, Xiao Tang said: "What a lot of fallacies and heresies, but since ancient times in this dynasty, no woman has ever shown her face, let alone in the Ministry of Rites! If you are allowed to do this, I am afraid that I will laugh for shame, and you will dare to argue in front of me?"

Wang Huanxi said: "Although there have never been women in the Ministry of Rites in this dynasty, before Mrs. Pingjing, there have never been female generals in this dynasty...... Adult ......"

Xiao Tang saw that she actually said Mrs. Pingjing again, so he said, "You dare to compare yourself to Mrs. Pingjing?"

Wang Huanxi kowtowed again and said, "Huanxi doesn't dare, he just wants to do his best, and beg the adults to see it." ”

Xiao Tang was silent, looked at her for a long time, and finally said: "Today's incident, I only think that it has never happened, and I hope that you will reflect on yourself, and accept these many obsessive heresies, if there is still a return, or let me know what you have done indecently, I will not tolerate it again!"

Wang Huanxi listened to these cold and indifferent words, and his heart was cold again, because he raised his head, looked at Xiao Tang with tears for a long time, finally raised his hand, hurriedly pulled up his hair bun, staggered up and went out.

It was only when Wang Huanxi went out that Xiao Tang raised his eyes to take a look, but at this moment, most of the annoyance in his eyes receded, and was replaced by a look of worry and contemplation.

But it was said that Wang Huanxi stumbled out of the door, and in the corridor, Wen Ping Chen Ji was waiting, and when he saw her running out, the two hurriedly greeted her, Wen Ping looked at her face, and said: "Sure enough, it can't be done, what our Lord Tang has decided, and there will be no change in waiting, but you should be glad that you didn't anger the adults." ”

Chen Ji looked at Wang Huanxi carefully, and suddenly felt ...... Then he said: "Why do you cry like this......?

When Wang Huanxi heard this, he pushed the two of them away and walked away quickly.

Chen Wen and the two looked at each other, and Wen Ping said thoughtfully: "This kid is a little weird, and the strange Lord doesn't want him." ”

Chen Ji smiled: "Except for some sissies and cryworms, where is it weird? ”

Wen Ping sneered: "Yes, yes, it's just that some of them are too much like girls." Just talking and laughing, I suddenly saw Xiao Tang coming out of the house, and when the two of them saw each other, they were busy holding their breath.

On that day, Xiao Tang returned home from the Ministry of Rites, saw Mrs. Tang, and asked An to go, but Mrs. Tang stopped him and said, "You don't have to be busy going back, do you know that Huaizhen is not at home today?"

Xiao Tang came back thinking about business all the way, but because he didn't pay attention to anything else, he was very surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Why aren't you at home?"

Mrs. Tang said, "I went to your aunt's house and stayed with her for two days." ”

Xiao Tang said: "How did you go again?"

Mrs. Tang sighed and said, "These days, you haven't even come back from home, but you want her to stay at home all the time?"

Xiao Tang laughed and said: "It's really because there have been a lot of things in the ministry recently." ”

Mrs. Tang looked at him and said, "Don't just push and shove with me like this, I'll ask you seriously, it's been a year since you got married, why don't you even ......?"

Xiao Tang only understood after a while, because he smiled and said, "Why did my mother bring up this matter again?"

Mrs. Tang was inconvenient to say what Aunt Lu said today, so she only said, "You ask me, if you weren't old, what would I be anxious about?"

Xiao Tang only said: "Mother rest assured, I don't have to be seventy or eighty." Sooner or later, you will get what you deserve. ”

Mrs. Tang sighed, then she didn't speak, Xiao Tang looked at her mother for a long time, her heart suddenly moved, she wanted to ask, but she stopped, only said a few words, and then withdrew.

Because he knew that Huaizhen was not at home, Xiao Tang did not go back to the room, but only went to Minli's room, and saw that Minli was leaning on the chair to do needlework, Xiao Tang smiled and said, "Didn't you say that you won't be tired?

Min Li sat up slowly and said, "Brother is back?" I'm just idle, and I didn't do anything serious. ”

Xiao Tang said: "I just met my mother, and I heard that Huaizhen went to my aunt's house. ”

When Min Li heard this, she nodded and said, "Brother probably doesn't know, my aunt has been here today, but I'm afraid that I will say something again, and after she went, Huai Zhen went to my aunt's house." ”

Xiao Tang came to inquire about this, and when he heard what Minli said, he said: "I guess, I didn't say a word before, why did I suddenly go to my aunt's side, it must be that this girl heard something unpleasant and uncomfortable." ”

Min Li glanced at Xiao Tang twice, and said, "Brother, do you want to go over and have a look?"

Xiao Tang thought for a while: "That's it, let her stay at ease for the night, I'll go again tomorrow, and say hello to my aunt and grandmother by the way." ”

The next morning, after Xiao Tang's morning court, he returned to the Ministry of Rites and was going out of the palace gate, when he suddenly saw King Xi coming over and asked him, "Why are you in a trance?"

Xiao Tang said lightly: "Really?"

King Xi became more and more surprised: "What's on your mind?

Xiao Tang glanced at him, as if he wanted to speak, but smiled again, shook his head and walked forward.

King Hee grabbed him and said, "What's the matter? Are you worried about the recent arrival of the messenger sent by Silla?"

Xiao Tang stopped, although King Xi guessed not all right, but it did have some relationship.

King Xi saw that he was hesitant, so he simply said: "I see that you are really busy and tired these days, even if you are beaten with iron, you can't stand it, why don't you go with me to rest for a long time?"

Xiao Tang said with a smile: "Since the palace knows that I am busy with official business, don't disturb me." ”

King Xi saw that he had something on his mind, so he wanted to stop him so that he could inquire carefully, but when he just refused, he retreated and said: "It's noon, you can enjoy the light, just accompany me to eat, how about it?"

Xiao Tang wanted to refuse, but after a turn of thought, he agreed, and King Xi was overjoyed, so he abandoned the sedan chair and only accompanied him to ride a horse and return to the palace.

After the two entered the hall, they quickly served lunch, and Xiao Tang saw that the dishes were rich and suited to his own taste, so he smiled and said: "I must be bothering the princess again." ”

King Xi smiled: "Do you know that you can't come to work every day?"

The two of them raised their chopsticks and ate for a while, and then King Xi said: "There is no one else in this place, you should always tell me your thoughts, is it really for the affairs of the Silla Kingdom?" I also know, my father is naturally the most interested in you going, just because of the joke before, this time it is necessary to have a long-faced person, so you are the most outstanding and suitable, but don't worry, I know your heart......

Xiao Tang couldn't help but smile and asked, "What does the palace know about me again?"

King Xi smiled and said: "How long have you been married to Huaizhen Yan'er, how can you be separated?" You naturally don't want to, these days of depression must be for this matter, am I right?"

Seeing that he was so determined, Xiao Tang smiled and said, "I can't hide anything from the eyes of the palace." ”

When King Xi heard this, he looked at him with a light smile, but he was suddenly startled, and said, "Did I say something wrong?"

Xiao Tang smiled and didn't answer, King Xi twisted his eyebrows and thought for a long time, shook his head and said: "Except for this, I can't think of anything else, is there anything more important to you?"

Xiao Tang stared at King Xi for a long time, took a sip of wine, and then said: "Sure enough, you are wrong, although I have also worried about the matter of the envoy, but I have never hesitated about this matter. Moreover, although Silla is a small country and has only been affiliated with China for thousands of years, if our subjects always regard themselves as the boss and do not want to forge ahead, they will be in danger. ”

When Xiao Tang said this, he thought of the negligence of the Tongwen Pavilion, because he put the wine glass, and said: "What's more, I recently received news that I was secretly sending people to Silla in the land of Fusang. A hundred years ago, a naval battle with Fusang made them extinguish their desire to covet our country, and this hundred years are about to pass, but they are afraid that the thief's heart will not die, and now they are secretly colluding with Silla, only afraid that there is a real resurrection...... Therefore, this trip to Silla, no matter what, must be made by me. ”

King Xi held his cup and listened to Xiao Tang's words in a daze, although he cleared the fog in front of him, but his heart was heavy, and he was a little astringent, because he looked at Xiao Tang and said, "You are ...... It's so thoughtful. ”

Xiao Tang smiled and said, "It's because the palace should know, this matter is imperative and obligatory for me." ”

King Xi lowered his eyes and slowly put the cup down: he thought that Xiao Tang was greedy for children, which was just human common sense, but now, the Silla envoy has not yet arrived, but Xiao Tang has already considered it and made a decision.

King Xi was speechless, only hanging his head.

Xiao Tang saw that he seemed to be a little unhappy, so he smiled again and said, "Therefore, what I have been thinking about in the past two days is not for this matter, Dian Ke is willing to guess again, why?"

King Xi raised his eyes to look at him, and said silently: "Your far-sightedness and strategizing are always unexpected and unpredictable, how can I guess? ”

Xiao Tang nodded, and then said: "This matter is really impossible to guess, just because I can't make up my mind in my heart, although I feel that my thoughts are a little perversary, almost crazy, but I always think of ...... unconsciously."

Only then did King Xi become curious again and asked, "What is it?"
