Chapter 7: The Queen/Palace

Yan Ming smiled: "I heard that my fourth brother is studying in the mansion, so I wanted to come and see him." βˆ‘οΌŒβ€

This is clearly a lie. Xie Zhen let out an "oh" and kindly explained: "Then the eldest prince, you are in the wrong place. We study in the front yard, and this is the backyard, where the family lives. Besides, didn't the fourth prince have already returned to the palace at this time? Don't you know? ”

After she finished speaking, a pair of clever eyes stared at Yan Ming, interested in seeing how he justified himself.

Yan Ming didn't feel the slightest embarrassment of being exposed to lies, and only said: "So that's the case." I'm not familiar with Xie Fu, so I won't be in the wrong place next time I visit. ”

"That's not right." Xie Zhen corrected him very seriously and said, "You should say that you won't climb the wrong wall again." ”

A trace of unnaturalness flashed on Yan Ming's face, and he smiled: "Yes, yes, you are right." ”

Xie Hao made an innocent look again, and said curiously: "However, why do you want to climb over the wall?" Can't you just come in through the gate in a dignified way? You want to come and see the homework of the Four Princes, it's not a shameful thing, right? ”

The implication is that it's dishonorable for him to sneak over the wall and come in today, right?

When he was in Lin'an City, he had seen Xie Zhen's eloquence in the court, and today he experienced it first-hand, and he only felt that this seemingly innocent Miss Xie Liu was really sharp-toothed.

"I see." Yan Ming nodded and smiled: "I will definitely come in with Mrs. Xie next time, and I hope that Miss Xie Liu can show me a look in the garden at that time." ”

Xie Zhen agreed, but said in his heart: Wait for the next time he comes. She must stay away, or she can simply hide in Poplar Alley.

Yan Ming finally drank the cup of tea in his hand, the teacup was empty for a long time, and Xie Zhen had no intention of renewing it for him.

Yan Ming was an informed and interesting person, so he got up and said, "It's not too early, I should go back to the palace too." ”

Xie Zhen finally got up and gave him a blessing and said, "Your Highness, go slowly." ”

There was no intention of sending him out. That's really not a good host......

Yan Ming was not angry, turned around and walked out of the room steadily.

There was a heroic girl in a strong suit waiting for him by the wall.

Yan Ming called her with a smile: "Xunhuan, go back." ”

Ye Xunhuan's face did not fluctuate at all, and he reached out to hold his back collar. Kick your legs in one go. And he flew over the wall.

This matter could not be concealed from Xie Yu.

He frowned and asked Yun Lai, "How long has the eldest prince been sitting?" Do you know what they said? ”

Yun Lai said: "I stayed for about a quarter of an hour, I don't know what I said." There was a master standing by the wall who looked like he was very good at martial arts. I didn't dare to come closer. I'm afraid that she will see that something is wrong. ”

Xie Yu bowed slightly. Didn't speak.

Yunlai's handling of this matter was quite rigorous, and he did not rush forward, otherwise it would arouse people's suspicions. I'm afraid it's not good for Ah Hao.

He thought about it, and then instructed Xilai: "You go and ask Jun Wei to see if anything has happened in the palace recently?" Why is this eldest prince so idle. ”

Xilai understood, and when he waited for the evening, he quietly went to the palace.

Yunlai still pretended not to know anything and went back to Tanghua Hutong on an errand.

Yan Ming said that he would come with Mrs. Xie next time, Xie Zhen only thought that he said it casually, but when the second **** went to Mrs. Xie to take class, he saw Yan Ming.

Old lady Xie didn't know that they had met in private, but he still specially introduced Yan Ming.

Yan Ming was able to pretend to be seeing her for the first time, and greeted her very politely.

Xie Zhenpi smiled and saluted him.

Mrs. Xie started the class, and Yan Ming sat aside to listen.

Xie Zhen only felt uncomfortable, and several times she felt that Yan Ming's gaze seemed to fall on her, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.

Next, Mrs. Xie asked them to write by themselves.

When you write, you can write beautifully when you are calm.

Xie Zhen was unsettled at this moment, and the words she wrote were full of anger and a faint murderous aura.

But at this time, Yan Ming still has to look at what they write.

When he walked past Yan Huai's table, he reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and praised him without hesitation: "The fourth brother's handwriting is getting better and better, if my father sees it, he will be very happy." ”

Yan Huai said with a look of surprise: "Really? Will the Father really be happy? ”

Yan Ming encouraged him with great certainty: "That's natural, the next time my father asks you about your homework, you can show him what you wrote." ”

Maybe this can really please my father? Yan Huai looked at him gratefully and nodded vigorously.

Yan Ming walked to Xie Yu's side again.

Xie Yu's words are like his person, and he has always been undisciplined and elegant.

Yan Ming frowned, looked at it carefully for a long time, and was stunned that he didn't understand the words written on the paper, so he had to say: "Xie Sangongzi's words are really meaningful. ”

Xie Yu smiled modestly.

Xie Zhen snickered in her heart. If you don't understand, just say that you can't understand it, and what else does it mean endlessly, Yan Ming's ability to open his eyes and say nonsense is really getting more and more powerful.

Yan Ming quickly walked over to her table and stayed for a long time.

"Miss Xie Liu's handwriting is really good." He didn't seem to expect her to write so powerfully, and suddenly he couldn't help but say, "It's better than the master who taught me how to write." ”

This tall hat is a big deal. Xie Zhen had no choice but to say: "Your Highness is laughing, Xie Zhen is panicking. ”

Yan Ming smiled: "I mean really, if you enter the palace another day, if you can compete with him." ”

Xie Hao's heart suddenly tightened, why did he mention the matter of entering the palace again? Was this something Yan Ming had planned a long time ago?

She just kept her head down and continued to write, pretending not to hear him.

But the hand was suddenly grasped.

"I took a closer look, these words are good, it seems that this word is a little thin, you see, if this word is written like this, will it be more imposing?" Yan Ming took her hand and gestured on the paper with a serious face.

Xie Zhen was very angry. What words are not written well enough, just say it, can't she write it herself? Do you have to teach her like this? Yan Ming really didn't have a good heart!

But in this situation, what else can she do besides endure? You can't push him away and slap him hard, right?

Yan Ming was very satisfied with her obedience, and after writing a few words, he finally let go of her hand.

Xie Zhen said softly: "Thank you Your Highness for your advice." ”

Yan Ming smiled: "It's just a trivial matter, no need to be polite." ”

Xie Zhen tugged at the corners of her mouth and smiled perfunctorily.

Xie Yu, who had pricked up his ears and listened to the movements on their side, the pen hanging in the air and not falling for a long time now finally fell on the paper, and he continued to write his cursive script smoothly.

As for how he is feeling at the moment, no one knows. What people can see. But his cursive writing was a little sloppier than ever.

Xilai, who didn't return overnight, finally returned.

He stood in front of his master with a gloomy face. Hanging his head and whispering: "The saint has been in poor health recently, and the harem is a little unpeaceful. ”

Xie Yu sneered: "What does the peace and tranquility of the harem have to do with the leisure of the eldest prince? You sue sΓΉ Junwei, if he sticks headlong on the belly of the harem girls, he will just enjoy happiness and do nothing. And use these useless news to perfunctory my words. His good days are over. ”

Xilai said: "My subordinates know." However, there is one more thing that the Lord of the Monarch said. It is said that there is a nobleman in the palace and there is something unclean between the eldest prince......"

Xie Yu immediately understood what he meant, and couldn't help sneering: "I can't see it, the eldest prince still likes this mouthful." ”

Xilai's face was expressionless. What about the dirty relationships that are unknown in this world?

Xie Yu said again: "Can Jun Wei eat this nobleman?" ”

Xilai said: "The lord of the sovereign hall said that he saw that this noble man had a close relationship with the eldest prince. It was because he had concerns and did not start. ”

"Oh?" Xie Yu raised his eyebrows with interest and said, "Are there still people in the palace who he doesn't dare to eat?" Jun Wei is getting more and more timid! You ask him, do you want to give the saint and the eldest prince another green hat? If you want to, you can rest assured and boldly sleep with that nobleman! If you don't have the ability, get back as soon as possible. ”

Xilai responded and left.

Xie Yu sneered to himself.

The old emperor is in poor health, this is really a good opportunity, I don't know if the old thing will make any moves, but don't miss him.

The news that Emperor Wen was in poor health was blocked very well, and the people didn't know anything about it, and Old Lady Xie didn't show any tone after returning home, because Xie Hao didn't know anything about this matter, and only felt that he was getting more and more unlucky recently. Because Yan Ming came to Xie Mansion, he seemed to be addicted.

She became more and more lazy to be false with him, and every time she saw him walking towards her, she hurriedly stepped forward to talk to Xie Yu and Yan Huai.

It is not difficult for Yan Ming to see that she has the intention to avoid her, but she refuses to do what she wants, the more she hides, the more he wants to find her.

only provoked Xie Zhen to simply say that he was sick and didn't go to class.

didn't expect that even like this, Yan Ming actually said that he was going to visit her, but fortunately, Xie Yu blocked it for her, so he couldn't make the trip.

Pressing step by step like this, even Yan Huai could see that his eldest brother was a little special to Xie Zhen.

When he returned to the palace, he asked the palace maid who served him beside him: "If a boy keeps pestering a girl, what does this mean?" ”

The palace maid blushed, and knelt on the ground with a plop, not daring to answer.

Yan Huai has never been embarrassed by these subordinates, so he waved her hand to let her retreat, and when his mother Ning Shufei asked for peace in the evening, he took advantage of the fact that there were no outsiders on the left and right, and asked Ning Shufei this question again.

Concubine Ning Shu was stunned for a moment, then smiled at the grandmother who was waiting beside her, and joked to him: "Huai'er, do you have a girl you like?" Which girl is it? Let's talk about it, the concubine. Mother, please ask your father to call the shots for you! ”

Yan Huai's face turned red and said, "Why did the mother concubine say this?" Huai'er just asked casually. ”

Concubine Ning Shu covered her lips and smiled: "Huai'er is still shy with her mother!" ”

The grandmother next to her also said: "It can be seen that I really like it." ”

Concubine Ning Shu said: "Then the palace is even more curious, which girl is worthy of my Huai'er's such intentions?" ”

Mama said: "Carefully speaking, the fourth prince doesn't see any little girls on weekdays, huh?" Isn't it the sixth lady of Mrs. Xie's family? Haven't they been studying together all these days? ”

Concubine Ning Shufei suddenly said: "Oh, when you say this, this palace remembers it, this palace heard that the little girl is very smart and clever, and it is also very good to pass her into the palace another day, and it is also excellent to accompany the palace to talk and relieve boredom, Huai'er, what do you think?" ”

Yan Huai's face turned even redder, and she could almost drip blood, so she just said: "Miss Zhen, she is indeed very smart, but she is young, and the concubine suddenly passes her into the palace, I am afraid it will scare her." ”

Concubine Ning Shu said "oops": "This is distressing? β€œ

No...... That's not what he meant...... Yan Huai wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to explain it...... If he really doesn't like Ah Hao at all, that's not ......

Vera ......

After this affectionate title popped up from his heart, he was suddenly startled, he had never called Miss Zhen like this! Whenever he heard Xie Sangongzi call Miss Zhen like this, he felt a little envious in his heart......

There was a faint rustling sound outside the window, as if someone had quietly left.

A sneer flashed in Ning Shufei's eyes, and she took the handkerchief with her fingers and gently printed the corners of her mouth.

In Kunning Palace, a little maid knelt on the ground and whispered the words she heard to the most noble woman of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Empress Dong stroked her nails painted with bright red Kodan, and said without raising her head: "You mean, the fourth prince likes the sixth lady of the Xie Taifu family?" ”

The maid said: "The slave doesn't dare to talk nonsense. ”

"That's interesting." Empress Dong sneered: "Okay, the palace knows, you can go back." ”

The maid carefully bowed and retired.

After she left, a person turned out from behind the screen, with an indifferent expression, it turned out to be the eldest prince Yan Ming.

Empress Dong looked at this son who made her the most proud, and said, "You also heard it just now, in your opinion, does Yan Huai really like that Miss Xie Liu?" ”

Yan Ming smiled slightly: "In the eyes of the child, the one who really likes Miss Xie Liu should be Concubine Shuniang?" ”

Empress Dong said with a smile: "What you said is right, she has nothing to rely on in the court, only with the support of Taifu Xie, Yan Huai is qualified to compete with you." ”

Yan Ming said with a smile: "The queen mother is joking with the child, my fourth brother and I are brothers, and the relationship has always been close, so there is nothing to fight." ”

Empress Dong nodded and said with a slight smile: "That's it, as the eldest brother, you have to take good care of the younger brothers below." ”

The corners of Yan Ming's mouth hooked up a smile of unknown meaning, and said softly: "The child should remember the teachings of the queen mother. ”

Empress Dong is even more satisfied with her son. With his intelligence and scheming, as long as there are no accidents, he will definitely be able to sit on the dragon chair. Because of this, she can't let people influence his son, not anyone, not even the current saint!

Empress Dong stroked her sideburns and said, "Then Miss Xie Liu is really so likable?" ”

Yan Ming smiled: "That's not likely. ”

Empress Dong sneered: "You say this on your lips, I'm afraid you don't think like this in your heart, right?" Don't think that this palace doesn't know where you have gone out of the palace these days, if you let Zhu'er know about this, then Miss Xie Liu will not think about any clean days in the future. ”

Yan Ming frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Queen Mother." ”

Empress Dong saw that he didn't like it, so she didn't say anything, but said: "Hurry up Ming'er to pass that Miss Xie Liu into the palace, and let the palace see what kind of little girl she is." ”

It's not that hard. Yan Ming said: "The child must let her come to see the queen mother as soon as possible." ”

That's interesting. Empress Dong squinted and said, "You don't want the palace to summon her into the palace?" ”

Yan Ming smiled and said, "It's worth waiting a little longer, Miss Xie Liu won't let the queen mother down." ”

Oh? His arrogant son has never had such a high opinion of anyone!

"Okay, then Bengu will wait and see." (To be continued.) )
