Chapter 66: Reaching an Agreement
"What?" Xie An also only felt that there was a problem with his ears and he heard it wrong.
But Xiao Xiaohan sold Guan Zi again, without explanation. He asked rhetorically, "Do you know why the emperor gave you to me?" ”
Xie An also instinctively shook his head, thought about it carefully, and asked tentatively, "Because of the Meng family?" ”
"Not bad." Xiao Xiaohan glanced at her appreciatively, he had always known that her intelligence was different from that of ordinary women, and of course, her thoughts and actions were also different from ordinary women.
"Today, the saint is very suspicious, not only this king, but even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he is also on guard everywhere. He doesn't want this king to threaten him with the help of his relatives, so the family of the prince and princess will not be used by me. Whether it was the Liu family at the beginning, or you now, it's all the same. ”
Xie An also believed in the emperor's defense of Prince Li, but if the reason for this was because the emperor was suspicious, she felt that it was not true. But she couldn't figure out the key to this now, so she simply put it aside and listened to Prince Li's continuation.
"The Meng family and this king are incompatible, and everyone knows about this matter in the world, but he doesn't know that you and I have known each other for a long time. The day after the marriage decree arrived, I went to the palace to beg him to retract the decree and let him know my attitude......"
"You won't marry me?" Xie An also interrupted him. Although she didn't particularly want to enter the prince's mansion to be a princess, she didn't want his future husband to dislike her in every way.
When Xiao Xiaohan saw her asking, the corners of his mouth twitched, he glanced at her and said, "The palace is lacking a hostess in charge, if you don't talk so much, it's appropriate." ”
Xie An had no choice but to shut up.
"Don't worry, this king still knows a little about you. As long as you stay in the backyard after entering the door, this king will protect you with fine clothes and food, and your life will be safe. Xiao Xiaohan comforted Xie Anyi in a timely manner, but he didn't forget to beat her: "Don't let others know about this king and you who have known each other for a long time." If your maid is a lax mouthful, this king will dispose of her for you......"
"No, Aimo's mouth is very strict, and even Ai Yan doesn't know about this."
"When you go back, you will say that this king is making things difficult for you in every way. Just ......"
"Just what?"
"It's just that if you do this, your life in the Xie family will not be as good as it is now."
Xiao Xiaohan was right. At the beginning, the Xie family's attitude towards Xie Anyi seemed to be close but cold, but it was only after receiving the holy decree that they knew that she was the future Prince of Li, and they became enthusiastic. Now, if you know that Prince Li actually doesn't like Xie Anyi, and Xie Anyi will not be favored even if she is Prince Li's princess in the future, his attitude will definitely change.
"It doesn't matter." Xie An also said very easily, anyway, she never thought that life in the Xie family would be better.
"Chengji." Xiao Xiaohan shouted outside the pavilion.
After a while, Chengji walked into the pavilion.
Xie An was also surprised. She hadn't seen Cheng Ji since she entered the door of King Li's Mansion, so where did she come from at this moment?
I saw Xiao Xiaohan whispering in Cheng Ji's ear, and Cheng Ji was ordered to go out again.
The two stopped talking, drinking tea and enjoying the flowers.
After about half a cup of tea, Xie An couldn't sit still, Aimo hadn't come back yet, but she wanted to go first.
Xiao Xiaohan seemed to see through her thoughts, and said, "Wait for half a cup of tea, if your maid hasn't come back yet, I'll send someone to send you back." ”
As he was talking, Chengji came back to his life. He held a long wooden box in his hand, respectfully placed it on the stone platform in front of Xie Anyi, and withdrew.
Xie An also glanced at Xiao Xiaohan suspiciously: "For me?" ”
"Open it and take a look."
Xie An really couldn't think of what Xiao Xiaohan would give her, looking at the shape of this wooden box, could it be a dagger or something? She gently pushed open the wooden box, only to see a scroll rolled inside. The color of the paper has turned yellow, and it must be a thing of old age.
Xie An also carefully took out the scroll and spread it out little by little.
"It's Momei!"
"You're right, this 'Momei' really shouldn't be here. But this king can't find a place that doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, so I'll give it to you. ”
Xie An was also very satisfied with his "big stroke", but after thinking about it, if he took this painting back, he would not be able to perform the play for a while, so he had to say: "Since I will also live in the palace of Prince Lili in the future, I will temporarily put it in your place for me to keep it." ”
In this way, Xie An also accepted this valuable famous painting with peace of mind.
As the saying goes, that person's money eliminates disasters for others. She decided to report back to Xiao Xiaohan: "You won't look for the edict?" ”
Xiao Xiaohan thought that Xie An would be able to procrastinate on the search for the edict, but she didn't expect her to take the initiative to ask, and couldn't help but look at her more and said, "Find." Just not now. ”
At the beginning, Xiao Xiaohan promised that if Xie An also found the edict of the emperor for him, the two would have no contact, and the well water would not interfere with the river water. But now, the emperor's chaotic mandarin duck spectrum has tied the two together, even if Xie An also found the edict, he couldn't return to the bridge with him, and the road back.
"The original conditions need to be changed." Xie An also said.
"Oh? You said. ”
"If I find the edict for you, you must promise me one thing." Xie An also looked at Xiao Xiao and said coldly.
Xiao Xiaohan smiled and said, "If this king can do it, he should complete it." ”
"You can do it." Xie Anyi had actually already thought about what the "reward" would be after finding the edict, but now she didn't dare to say it.
Xiao Xiaohan seemed to see through her again, and emphasized again: "As long as this king can do it." ”
……
Xie Anyi's carriage stopped in front of Xie's mansion for half a cup of tea, and Aimo helped Xie Anyi out of the carriage.
The two entered the door and went straight to the flower hall of the eldest lady. The eldest lady was napping on the couch in the inner hall, when the little maid came in to report, and she quickly asked the maid to dress her up, put on a big red jacket and skirt, and walked out.
I saw Xie An also sitting on the wooden chair in the flower hall, his eyes were red, and he was wiping the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief. Aimo stood behind her and kept whispering comfort, and when she saw the eldest lady enter the door, she hurriedly picked up Xie An and got up to salute the eldest lady.
"Seventh sister, what's wrong with you? Why did you come back so early? Aimo didn't report to me for a long time, and I thought you were going to come back at dinner. The eldest grandmother sat down on the main seat, and motioned for Aimo to help Xie An get up.
"Big lady......" Xie An just said three words, his eyes were red again, his voice was choked, and the words behind him were actually said.
"Aimo, what's going on?" The eldest lady had no choice but to ask Aimo.
"Slave, slave doesn't know. The slave met the girl on the way, and when the palace guards saw me, they didn't say anything, but let me get into the carriage and escort us back and leave. All the way, the girl kept crying and asked without saying anything. The carriage stopped in front of Xie's house, and I was afraid that outsiders would see it, so I specially took a handkerchief and put a handkerchief on the girl's eyes before getting out of the car. ”
"Isn't it ......" The eldest lady seemed to suddenly think of something, stood up excitedly, and asked, "Seventh sister, but Prince Nali bullied you?" If so, you can sue me, although our Xie family is not as good as the royal relatives, but the girls of the Xie family will not be bullied so in vain! ”
