For the arrival of the person in front of him, Xia Ruan was a little surprised.

She didn't leave the pavilion in time, because as she had just said, she liked the scenery here and wanted to see it for a while.

It's just that I didn't expect it, but I waited for the person in front of me.

"Mrs. Marquis of Chang'an, are you trying to capture the past?" There was a somewhat meaningless smile in the man's eyes, "Chang'anhou knows, I'm afraid I'll be sad." ”

Xia Ruan looked at the scenery outside the pavilion and didn't say much.

She had to think about what this person was here for.

In the past, some people said that he was Xiao Jiu's old enemy, and she didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at that time, but she was always wary of him.

Now the man sat across from her, as careful as ever.

Du Ruo looked at the movement in the pavilion and wanted to walk in.

Xia Ruan raised his head and waved at Du Ruo before he said to the man in front of him, "Lord Xiao, long time no see." ”

"Really?" Xiao Anli unceremoniously picked up the refreshments that were set aside, and looked at Xia Ruan's gaze, "I don't remember it for long, less than three years." ”

Xia Ruan's heart 'chuckled', and her brows frowned slightly.

She didn't pick up Xiao Anli's words, but thought about how to leave.

She didn't know if she could handle Xiao Anli.

Xiao Anli didn't seem to notice her expression, and continued, "Is it happy to marry him?" ”

The tone of this sentence was as relaxed as asking her what the weather was like today.

Xia Ruan didn't know why Xiao Anli asked this, she and Xiao Anli just knew each other, and they didn't have any friendship. But now he asked her. Is it happy to marry Xiao Jiu?

It's kind of incredible.

"Why did Lord Xiao say this?" Xia Ruan narrowed his gaze and asked with some puzzlement, "What does Lord Xiao want to know?" ”

Xiao Anli also looked at Xia Ruan, the look in his eyes was like stagnant water in a deep pool, "If you quit now, it's still too late." The four princes will definitely be defeated. ”

He said it directly, but it also made Xia Ruan breathe a sigh of relief.

The Four Princes will not be defeated.

She will help her husband now, just hoping that the tragedy of the previous life will not be left behind. The third uncle was poisoned. The body is not as good as day by day. And her husband became a demon who killed countless people, and Cinnabar retreated...... These were things she didn't want to see at all.

Cinnabar is the biggest help of the six princes, if cinnabar retreats, then it is equivalent to a wildfire that cannot be burned. The spring breeze blows and grows.

"What are you talking about, Lord Xiao? I do not quite understand. Xia Ruan didn't answer Xiao Anli's words. Instead, he smiled lightly. "If Lord Xiao wants to say this, then I'm afraid I'm looking for the wrong person."

Xiao Anli smiled coldly and couldn't help but look at the woman in front of her.

Delicate eyebrows like distant mountains. Agile eyes, white jade-like skin, like petals stained with morning dew lips...... is not vulgar or demonic, like a stunning picture.

He used to think that the innocent and kind woman looked so dazzling now.

Xiao Anli found that Xia Ruan seemed to have changed.

In the past, she always smiled with a hint of apprehension, but now when she smiled, it was as if he had seen the most brilliant color in this muddy world.

He finally understood why his sister would say that many women would dwarf themselves in front of her.

Such a wonderful person, like a flower, blooms into her own beauty.

Xia Ruan tilted his head and coughed lightly, making Xiao Anli wake up like a dream.

He took a deep breath and calmed himself down before saying, "Mrs. Chang'an Hou, Ming people don't say secret words. You are not a fool, you naturally understand what I am talking about, and now I am telling you this, I also hope that you can take care of your mother and younger brother. You can't protect the Li family and Pingyang Hou, if you continue to be so stubborn, then your mother and younger brother will be buried for you. Do you really have to bear it? And ......"

"Lord Xiao." Xia Ruan interrupted Xiao Anli's words, "Lord Xiao said these words with selfish intentions, right?" ”

Xiao Anli was slightly stunned, and then his fingertips trembled slightly.

He was indeed selfish in saying these things.

Xiao Anli pursed his lips, and then his brows furrowed.

He wasn't like that before.

This time, for some reason, he always felt uneasy, and he was afraid of losing something.

He didn't know why he was upset, why he was afraid of losing something.

The woman he looked down on in the past has become a touch of cinnabar on the tip of his heart since marrying Xiao Jiu. If Xiao Jiu's concubine didn't appear at the beginning, according to Cheng Guogong's meaning, he should be Xia Ruan's husband. At that time, he really didn't look down on this woman, and always felt that she was too sharp and toothy, not the type of wife he wanted.

The wife he wants must be obedient to him.

So over the years, every girl in the room he has found has never dared to refute half a sentence of his words.

Xiao Anli thought that what he wanted was such a woman.

But for some reason, as the years grew, Xia Ruan's saving made him hurt from time to time.

After the sixth prince knew about him, he just smiled lightly, "You are just unwilling, where did the love come from?" It's normal to be unwilling, Li Changfeng's heart is biased, he used to be biased towards Li Changyue, and now he is biased towards the third lady. At the beginning, if you were the Marquis of Pingyang, no matter who among you married her, it would be very beneficial to me. ”

"Subordinate, shouldn't it be ......" Xiao Anli thought for a long time before answering the sixth prince, "The subordinate is actually ......"

The sixth prince waved his hand, a little impatient, "The Xiao family was originally three, the North Xiao is gone, the South Xiao is left with Xiao Jiu, and the East Xiao is now at its peak." Why do you want to lower your value for a woman, no matter how powerful Xiao Jiu is, he is just a concubine, you are Dong Xiao's sister-in-law. If you must mind, after I take over the world, are you still afraid that the third lady will not follow you? What kind of climate can a woman become? ”

Xiao Anli didn't say anything else to the six princes.

In his mind, this is not the case.

Xia Ruan stood up and said with a smile, "If Lord Xiao doesn't have anything else to do, then I'll leave first." ”

"Mrs. Chang'an Hou, what are you afraid of?" Xiao Anli asked suspiciously, "Are you so afraid of me?" ”

Xia Ruan shook his head and explained, "I'm not afraid of anything, it's just Lord Xiao, I can't give you the answer you want to know." So, why are you wasting your time with me? ”

Xiao Anli couldn't help laughing, "Do you know what answer I want?" ”

Xia Ruan glanced at the lotus flowers in the pond, "Lord Xiao, what else are you unwilling to do?" You are now the head of Dongxiao's family, and you are the emperor's important courtier. ”

Xiao Anli looked at the lotus flowers in the pond and didn't know how to answer for a while.

He really shouldn't be unwilling.

However, this was before Xiao Jiu appeared.

He is very unwilling now.

Obviously, both Southern Xiao and Northern Xiao should pave the way for Eastern Xiao, but the appearance of Xiao Jiu changed everything that Qiē had originally planned. Xiao Anli didn't understand, where was he inferior to Nan Xiao's concubine, could a title make Xia Ruan so obsessed?

He should be the destination of women.

"Is Mrs. Chang'an Hou joking? When did I get resigned? Xiao Anli scoffed, "In the heart of Mrs. Chang'an Hou, is the Hou position really so important?" You will regret what you said today. ”

Regret?

If she has to say that she regrets it, what she regrets is that she didn't stay with Xiao Jiu in her previous life and didn't stay with him for a long time.

In this life, she has nothing to regret.

"I have nothing to regret." Xia Ruan shook his head and said softly, "What you believe in me and you are inherently different. But I also give you this sentence, Lord Xiao, you will regret what you said today. ”

Xiao Anli snorted disdainfully, "Do you really think you can change a qiē?" ”

Xia Ruan didn't know if she could change the qiē, what she did was to maintain the one qiē she had now.

No one can take away what she currently has.

No one can ......

Now she is happy every day, even if there is still pressure around her, but the kind of happiness that someone shares cannot be described in any words. She is not a greedy person, and she is very satisfied with the current qiē.

It's just that her husband has given her love again and again, so that no matter how tired she is, she will not feel tired.

Thinking of this, Xia Ruan suddenly had an idea.

Xia Ruan raised his eyebrows and shook his head with a smile, "In another year, don't you know if I will regret it?" ”

Xiao Anli was quick for a while, "A year? Mrs. Chang'an Hou, within three months, you will regret it, do you believe it? ”

Xia Ruan looked stunned.

Seeing Xia Ruan's expression, Xiao Anli smiled very satisfied. But the next moment, he felt a little weird, why did Xia Ruan mention a year, what he had just answered......

Xiao Anli felt that it was inappropriate, but after watching Xia Ruan start to panic, he ignored the ominous premonition just now.

No matter how powerful Xia Ruan is, he is nothing more than a little talented in business. But officialdom is definitely not a place where she can meddle, so Xiao Anli is not afraid to tell Xia Ruan the truth.

Even if Xia Ruan knew about their arrangement, what could he do?

"Buddha, I won't spare you." After Xia Ruan finished speaking, he showed a somewhat annoyed look, turned around and left the pavilion.

Watching Xia Ruan leave, Xiao Anli couldn't help but laugh again.

Sure enough, it was a woman in the boudoir, and at this time she still believed in the so-called ghosts and gods.

The six princes were actually also suspicious of why Xia Ruan appeared in the White Horse Temple at this time, and even Tang Jingxuan thought that there was a reason why Xia Ruan would appear in the White Horse Temple.

Cause?

Xiao Anli doesn't think so.

If the person who appeared here was Xiao Jiu or Li Changfeng, he believed that Li Changfeng and Xiao Jiu had a plan. But Xia Ruan's appearance here is nothing more than because of Xia Ruan's mother, the Li family.

Li has always believed in Buddhism, and he couldn't help Li Changfeng and Xiao Jiu at this time, so he hoped that the Buddha would help them.

It's ridiculous, if there are really ghosts and gods in this world, then why are there so many bad people in this world?

Xiao Anli shook his head disdainfully, these people are simply too naïve.

It seems that he should have returned to Beijing earlier and should not have wasted time here. (To be continued......)
