Chapter 259: Help add a handful of firewood
A few days later, under the reluctance of a pair of eyes, Fang Xiaoyu and the others sent away Emperor Fengtian and his two princes.
A woman's eyes were full of reluctance and reluctance.
At this time, the eighth princess didn't know that the other party was the eighth prince of the Dayu Dynasty, but since she was taken out of the palace by the seventh sister that day, she fell in love with the man with a gentle smile on his face and looked free and natural.
He only knew that the eighth son's surname was Lu, and he was the eighth in the family, and the rest was to listen to him talk about the customs and customs of various places, and he was fascinated by it, which made people yearn for it.
She was sure almost immediately that she liked this man, and all she thought about in her heart was that person's name.
The eighth prince also seems to have a good impression of this eighth princess with an elf and eccentric personality, and before leaving, he even promised her that one day, he will come to her again, and it will not be too long, which makes the eighth princess who is just beginning to love almost blush, and buried her whole head in two small palms with her head down, how can you still see a little bit of brutality and willfulness on weekdays?
The eighth princess knocked on the side and wanted to get more information about the eighth prince from Fang Xiaoyu, but Fang Xiaoyu's mouth was very tight, and she just refused to reveal the slightest superfluous thing, even if she coerced and lured her as a princess, she only got Fang Xiaoyu a faint smile, which made the eighth princess very disappointed.
However, Fang Xiaoyu gave her a word that could give her a little comfort, she said that in less than half a year, she would definitely see him again, and she had begun to look forward to it.
After sending away the rude eighth princess, Fang Xiaoyu was about to go home, but Ye Xinrou did not leave with the eighth princess. It seemed that he wanted to say something to her.
The two got into the same carriage and lowered the curtain, Ye Xinrou couldn't wait for the other party to laugh and say, "Laugh." The eighth sister is like this, it seems that she really fell in love with the wealthy eighth prince. ”
Her expression was both joy and worry.
"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that she looks at the Eighth Prince's gaze, which is different from ordinary people, and she blushes from time to time, saying that she has never been moved, and she is afraid that she doesn't even believe in wood." Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile.
"Ridiculous. Have you ever checked how the wealthy Eighth Prince is, but he is really a person who can be entrusted with his life? I would be glad that the matter of friendship would be resolved, but if he was just a sanctimonious hypocrite. How can I push the eighth sister into the fire pit? Ye Xinrou was worried. Judging from the few faces he has seen in the past few days, the other party is indeed a beautiful man with brilliant literary talents, extensive knowledge, and a very good temperament. As a husband, he should be the best choice.
If he is really the same as he seems, even if the eighth sister marries Dayu, it will be a wonderful marriage. But if the other party is like Ye Shucheng, the second brother. It is a person who looks dignified and elegant. The queen is a violent and cruel hypocrite, then marrying the eighth sister to him is tantamount to pushing her into the tiger's den in Longtan, after all, for a woman, what kind of husband she adds will almost determine the fate of the entire future.
What's more, one is a princess, the other is a prince, and they are in different countries. In addition to the emotional factor, the union of the two symbolizes friendship and friendship between the two countries. It's hard not to think about it.
"It is rumored that this eighth prince is not bad. It's just that what outsiders say can't be trusted after all, I have sent someone to Dayu to check, and I should be a person who can be entrusted with life. And he has no intention of being on the throne, and he has to be loved by the Emperor of Heaven, and all the princes know his character, but there are few people who are hostile to him. The eighth princess married in the past, but she would not be involved in the turmoil of seizing the heir. Fang Xiaoyu is not a sloppy person. Although it is based on everything in his previous life, he is not at ease in the end, and he has already ordered someone to check it.
Hearing what Fang Xiaoyu said, Ye Xinrou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If this is the best, I am not sorry for the eighth sister." ”
"How are you getting close to that Cheng Yue?" Fang Xiaoyu asked suddenly.
Ye Xinrou looked up at Fang Xiaoyu, and saw that she was looking at her with a smile that seemed to be smiling, and couldn't help blushing, and said, "He...... He already knew who I was, and blamed me for accidentally slipping out of my mouth. He was also angry, but in the end he promised that he would definitely get the top prize, and then asked his father to marry me in a beautiful way. ”
"Aren't you afraid that she is greedy for your princess status and wants to climb the dragon and the phoenix?" Fang Xiaoyu's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a somewhat mocking gaze.
Ye Xinrou scolded with a smile: "If someone else says this to me, maybe I will have to turn my face with her." But if it's you, I'm not worried. With your character, you must have checked the foundation of the process in advance, and knew that he was a person who could be entrusted with his life, so you were willing to teach me some ways to get his attention. ”
"Aren't you afraid that I also have ulterior motives to sincerely push you into the fire pit?" Fang Xiaoyu was a little funny.
"Why do I think so badly? You are my first friend, and you are the wife of Brother Xici, and my heart is for you, what have you done to me? Ye Xinrou patted Fang Xiaoyu's shoulder with confidence, looking very grinning.
But in fact, she really never doubted Fang Xiaoyu's intentions.
They have no conflict of interests, let alone hostility in their positions, on the contrary, they can bring certain benefits and conveniences to each other. Cooperation is beneficial to both sides, and division is harmful to her, Fang Xiaoyu has no need to harm her at all.
What's more, she is even more convinced that if she wants to harm her, she doesn't have to go through such a lot of trouble if she wants to harm her.
"I was touched by your trust." Fang Xiaoyu squinted and smiled, and his heart warmed.
"You don't say more meaty words, I listened to the panic." Ye Xinrou shrank back, and then she couldn't help laughing.
The two still parted ways in front of King An's mansion. Ye Xinrou told Fang Xiaoyu in the carriage that the worries in her heart were clean, and the whole person was a lot more relaxed.
After Fang Xiaoyu returned home, he saw another carriage outside the door, and saw that the system was not used by ordinary people, but it was graceful and luxurious, but it did not lose its elegant decoration, and his heart moved.
The concierge saw that the princess was back, and they all greeted Fang with a smile respectfully. Although they knew that the prince was not very kind to the prince and the princess, they knew better that this princess was a powerful character, and she had made the prince deflated several times, but the prince couldn't do anything with her. What's more, there are also General Zhenyuan and the eldest princess behind them. is even more favored by the emperor, they are just a slave who guards the door, how dare they laugh at each other and be presumptuous.
"There's a guest in the house?" Fang Xiaoyu asked casually.
"Back to the princess. It was Miss Shilan who invited Zhou Xiang's little son to come to the house as a guest, and Zhou Gongzi had just arrived. The porter immediately replied with a huff. He didn't dare to snub this princess who was not treated by the prince.
"I see. There you go. Fang Xiaoyu smiled slightly, looking beautiful and moving.
The porter was almost dazzled by this beauty, but fortunately he came back to his senses quickly, otherwise he would have lost his temper.
Fang Xiaoyu did not alarm the others, and went back to the Qingliang Courtyard alone, taking off the ornaments on his head. Lying on the chaise longue, he read a book leisurely.
Ye Xi resigned from the crown prince of the East Palace, and it would take some time for her to return, and she was alone at this time. That's how to pass the time.
In Ye Shilan's courtyard, the atmosphere was as dull and serious as ever. Several maids sat around and talked about the bad temper of the young lady in recent days.
Hearing that Zhou Xiaogongzi had arrived, Ye Shilan looked stunned. She posted to Zhou Xiaogongzi a few days earlier. But it wasn't until today that Zhou Xiaogongzi arrived. There has been no movement in the middle, and she thought that Zhou Xiaogongzi had really been banned, and she had already guessed a lot of possibilities in her heart.
Ye Shilan invited Zhou Xiaogongzi to appreciate it under the pretext of getting a famous painting that Zhou Xiaogongzi loved very much. Even if the news of the meeting between the two is spread to the outside world, after all, outsiders think that she likes the second prince very much, and although Zhou Xiaogongzi is about the same age as them, he is of high seniority, obviously about the same age. The second prince still has to call him a little uncle, and outsiders will not suspect what the two of them will have.
Ye Shilan also thought about it. She just wanted to get some information from Zhou Xiaogongzi. But she didn't want to set herself on fire, so she must have been prepared.
"This painting is really good, it is really Mr. Nanhua's real handiwork. Mr. Nanhua's authentic works are rare nowadays, so you can find them. "Zhou Xiaogongzi's name is Zhou Tong, and he is the son of Zhou Xiang, so he is the same age as his grandson, but his generation is a cut higher than his peers.
Zhou Tong doesn't like to talk very much on weekdays, but he loves calligraphy, painting and poetry. It's not a stuffy gourd, it's just a little unsociable, and it's often misunderstood for being lonely and self-appreciating, but it's just a matter of character.
Ye Shilan was a little nervous in her heart, the truth that she didn't know if Zhou Xiaogongzi had witnessed the whole process was obviously close at hand, and she was still a little inexplicably resistant.
"I also got it by chance, knowing that Zhou Gongzi is good at this, so I took the liberty to ask, if Gongzi likes it, this painting will be given to Gongzi." Ye Xinrou said with a smile, but in fact, this painting was what she asked for from her father.
Her father had also treasured this painting for a long time, but because she had a purpose to ask for Zhou Gongzi, she thought about it, and went to her father to ask for it before she was pre-sold.
However, my father has been in a very bad mood these days, and even when he sees her, he feels that he is no longer spoiled as before, but his eyes are still a little complicated. She thought that maybe it was her father who lingered in Su Hongsilk's gentle township all day long, and maybe she was blown by some kind of wind in her ears, which made her particularly dislike Su Hongsilk.
"It's satisfying to see this painting. No merit is not allowed to be lost, this painting, Miss Ye is good to preserve. Zhou Tong smiled and shook his head. I can see the love for this painting in his eyes, but there is no greed, and his eyes are always clear and do not see the slightest variegation.
Ye Shilan paused, as if she had mustered up her courage, and said: "Actually, when Zhou Gongzi was invited to come today, Shilan also had something to ask for. ”
"Oh? Miss Ye might as well come and listen to it, and see if there is something Zhou can help. The color in Zhou Tong's eyes flashed in an instant. He remembered what his father had said to him the other day.
Ye Shilan was stunned at first, as if she was thinking about how to speak, and then said: "I wanted to dance that day, but I accidentally fell, Zhou Gongzi was only not far away, Shilan wanted to ask, did Zhou Gongzi ever see the whole process of Shilan's fall?" ”
Zhou Tongxin said that he really came, but he pretended to be clear and said: "Miss Ye also sacrificed a lot for Shucheng, and Shucheng made a move that day, and he was both quick and accurate, and not many people noticed." I have seen it with my own eyes, but I will not say much in front of others. ”
Saying that, he said helplessly: "I know that the reason for the success of books is love and hatred, and I always have a grudge against that Miss Fang, and I also know why he framed Miss Fang." However, it was also surprising that Miss Ye was willing to sacrifice herself to facilitate this matter. He also mentioned it to me after the book was completed, and he thanked you for your help, and he also guessed that I would witness the whole process, and also told me not to pass it on. Miss Ye also knows that although I am his uncle, my father loves him very much, and he feels even more guilty about my sister concubine. Although I don't agree with this, I won't go out and talk nonsense, so Miss Ye can rest assured. ”
Saying that, Zhou Tong looked at Ye Shilan with pity and said, "Miss Ye sacrificed a lot for Shucheng, and she also ruined her appearance for this. I'm also uneasy here. A few days ago, I just got a weathered grass, and it was said that it was very effective in healing the scar, so I would give it to Miss Ye. ”
Zhou Tong's face was full of guilt from beginning to end, but Ye Shilan turned a blind eye to it completely.
Every time he said a word, Ye Shilan's heart cooled down by half, and when she said it, her whole heart was already filled with anger.
Listen to the meaning of Zhou Xiaogongzi's words. The person who attacked her that day and caused her to fall down and ruin her appearance was really the second prince. In order to frame Fang Xiaoyu, he directed such a play, but he sacrificed her life as the cause of everything.
She understood that Zhou Xiaogongzi seemed to have misunderstood that she was an insider, and even sacrificed himself to help the second prince act in this play, after that incident, there were rumors in the outside world that Fang Xiaoyu caused her to ruin her appearance, but the evaluation of Fang Xiaoyu was not negative, which probably the second prince did not expect, so the matter was spread and passed on. But her wounds were in vain. His face was ruined, his leg was broken, and he recognized the thief as a friend, and was treated as a fool, and became the pioneer of finding trouble with Fang Xiaoyu.
Ye Shilan did not doubt the truth of Zhou Tong's words.
This little boy Zhou is Zhou Xiang's biological son and Ye Shucheng's little uncle. Zhou Xiangfu is the backing of the second prince, and it is impossible to dismantle his own platform, help Fang Xiaoyu to deceive her, and frame the second prince.
In this way, Zhou Xiaogongzi must have seen it. is no different from what Fang Xiaoyu said, that day, it was really the second prince's hand, and I am afraid that all this later has been premeditated since then.
In other words, the second prince may have been planning to sacrifice her a long time ago.
Ye Shilan is like falling into an ice cellar.
Her whole person was silent in endless anger, and she didn't see the sneer that flashed in Zhou Xiaogongzi's eyes.
He had already heard from his father that the second prince who had been in pain for so long in their family was not their family, which shocked him.
It just so happened that Fang Xiaoyu had already greeted his father. He already knows something. This time, I came to help add a handful of firewood. (To be continued.) )
