Chapter 185: Familiar
This underestimation really made Xu Youshan hold her chest in one breath, but then she wilted and said, "Well, yes, it was His Royal Highness the King of Chu who said it to me." ”
Understanding Zhou Huidi's analysis like that naturally could not have come from Xu Youshan, and it was indeed what Xie Jing said to Xu Youshan, which made Xu Youshan happy for Xie Jing The joy that Xie Wen was about to step down disappeared in an instant. Therefore, Xu Youshan remembered Xie Jing's words very clearly, and now she relayed them to Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng word for word, but what they didn't expect was that the two of them immediately guessed that Xie Jing said it, which is really ...... It's too faceless.
Compared with Xu Youshan's little wilt, Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng immediately thought about it and talked about it: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu is right, if so many people start to find out about the involvement of His Royal Highness the Third Prince and the military quartermaster, then how can the Holy Lord not find out?" ”
"But a few days ago, the saint did only order His Royal Highness the Third Prince to accompany him and go to the other palace together, this kind of special treatment is not like a precursor to disgust." Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng discussed one by one, so fast that Xu Youshan could barely interject, Xu Youshan was effortless in an instant, let the two of them go to fight, and he beckoned to Chu Dai lightly and asked her to pour tea for herself.
Emperor Zhou Hui likes to go to several palaces on the outskirts of the imperial capital to stay for a few days, which is no longer news, but Emperor Zhou Hui used to go to other palaces, but the people he brought with him were all his favorite concubines and princes at that time, like Concubine De and the second prince Xie Yan back then, not the best example. As long as Emperor Zhou Hui went to the palace, Concubine De and Xie Yan were taken with Emperor Zhou Hui almost every time, compared to Concubine Xian and Xie Wen at that time. Concubine De's mother and son are still more favored.
However, the current situation has already changed dramatically, of course, Concubine De and Xie Yan have never accompanied Emperor Zhou Hui to the palace again, and the only people who can accompany Emperor Zhou Hui at this time are Concubine Xian and Xie Wen.
And from this point of view, Xie Wen is indeed like Xie Jing's judgment, he was not annoyed by Emperor Zhou Hui at all, but in Emperor Zhou Hui's heart. I'm afraid that Xie Wen has really been regarded as a candidate for the East Palace, otherwise the incident with Xie Yan back then would be compared with the incident of the military quartermaster being replaced. The nature is lighter, but looking at Emperor Zhou Hui's anger towards Xie Yan back then and his performance towards Xie Wen now, it is simply a world of difference.
I really don't know if Xie Yan already knew about this at this time, would he be so angry that he vomited blood?
Xu Youshan suddenly thought of Xie Yan out of whim. And Xie Yan, who was in Concubine De's palace at this time. But it's a pity that he wasn't as angry as Xu Youshan thought and vomited blood, his face was just pale, his eyes were a little red, and the unwillingness in his eyes was even more terrifying.
"Mother, this matter can't just be over, even if I am hopeless, but I must not bear that position, and in the end, it was actually taken by Xie Wen." But even Xie Yan's expression was terrifying. But his voice was extremely calm, and the calmness formed a great contrast with his expression that could already be regarded as hideous. The big one makes people shudder.
"Yan'er, I don't need you to remind me, I also know that we must not let that woman and her son be satisfied, otherwise we are afraid that once the saint goes, our mother and son will not have any good fruits." And Concubine De's expression at this time was very calm, not restless at all, but the cold light in her eyes flashed endlessly, and it was extremely cold.
"What the mother concubine said is, then what should we do next, my father is now not very concerned about Xie Wen's military needs, although outsiders seem to think that the third child has been snubbed by his father in the past few days, but when his father went to the palace a few days ago, he still ordered the third child to accompany him, and the sons can see that the father is not angry with the third child at all." In Xie Yan's tone, there was finally a trace of anxiety.
"Hmph, I didn't expect that their mother and son were really a good means, and they could actually coax the saint to such a point, but Yan'er, don't be anxious, now that this matter has been exposed, the sensation caused is not small, even if the saint really wants to protect Xie Wen, but looking at the current situation, it will take a while to make Xie Wen the East Palace. And during this time, there is enough for us to plan well, and besides, ......"
Concubine De paused for a moment when she said this, but a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, and she smiled at Xie Yan: "Besides, Yan'er, have you forgotten, we still have a good card in our hands now." ”
Xie Yan obviously knew what Concubine De was talking about, and for a while, there was a flash of joy on her face, "What the mother concubine said is that the child is a little unbreathable, the current situation has great advantages for the mother and me, as long as we wait a few more days, wait a few more days, we can give Concubine Xian and my good third brother a big 'surprise'." ”
The hatred in Xie Yan's eyes flashed, for Xie Wen, he couldn't hate it anymore, it was they who conspired together to calculate the Xu family's daughter-in-law, but in the end, it failed, Xie Jing was dragged into the water, and was forced to marry Xu Youshan, the daughter of the Xu family; He himself was even more miserable, not only did he bear all the blame, but then he was ruthlessly beaten down by Concubine Xian and Xie Wen, and pulled out the bribery, so that he was directly disgusted by Emperor Zhou Hui.
Since then, it has nothing to do with the supreme position, and Concubine Xian and Xie Wen have not left him a little way to survive, so that Emperor Zhou Hui pointed to him the prince who married Princess Dongji, so that Xie Yan and the throne of the Great Zhou from now on are really impossible.
All of this made Xie Yan hate Xie Wen to the depths of his bone marrow, so no matter who finally got the throne of the Great Zhou, anyway, what Xie Yan couldn't tolerate the most was that Xie Wen got it, and it was a little different from Concubine De's consideration for her own safety, Xie Yan was already a little desperate to take revenge on Xie Wen.
……
……
At the fork of Qilinfang and Dongyang Lane at night, after breaking up with Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng, Xu Youshan's escort drove back towards the Chu Palace, and when Xu Youshan returned to Powei Houyun, the first thing was to ask Wu Lin, who was waiting at the door, if Xie Jing was back? Where are you now?
Wu Lin replied with a smile: "Back to the princess, the prince will come back in front of you." At this time, it was in the empty mountain house, and the prince also specially instructed the slaves and maids, if the princess comes back. So he sent someone to inform the prince. "Xu Youshan and Xie Jing have a harmonious relationship now, and the happiest about this is none other than Wu Lin and Liu's mother, although Wu Lin and Liu's mother were the calmest people at the beginning, but who made Xu Youshan just like Xie Jing, so now for Xu Youshan to find a lover, Wu Lin and the two are also happy for Xu Youshan.
"The prince has returned." When Xu Youshan heard this, her big eyes and smile were like a crescent moon. But then, as if thinking of something, he hurriedly asked, "Mother Wu, who is now with His Highness in the empty mountain house." Is it Xun who is in charge of them? ”
Wu Lin replied: "Back to the princess, yes, before the prince came back, the Xun steward and they were waiting for the prince in the empty mountain house." As soon as the prince returned. After coming to Bowei, the clouds took a trip. After knowing that you haven't come back yet, I dropped the order and asked the slaves and maids to go to the empty mountain residence when you come back, and then go to the empty mountain house. ”
Steward Xun is not really in charge, Xu Youshan knows this, so now that they are together, something must have happened again. Xu Youshan stood in the courtyard and looked down for a while. Let Wu Lin send someone to report, and let people go to the empty mountain to guard instead. After Steward Xun and them left, he would come back to inform her. As for why, Wu Lin didn't ask much, but after answering in a low voice, he hurriedly sent a safe mother-in-law to Kongshan Ju.
But Xu Youshan and Wu Lin didn't expect that this would wait until nearly the hour, Xu Youshan was even more drowsy on the small table in the kang, and Wu Lin couldn't help but say to Xu Youshan: "Princess, why don't you go and rest first, look at this scene, it is estimated that the prince will not be able to disperse for a while." ”
Xu Youshan rubbed her eyes, wanting to sober herself up, and then waved her hand to Wu Lin's family, and said in a sleepy voice: "No, Mother Wu, I'll wait a little longer." ”
Wu Lin wanted to persuade again, but Xu Youshan had already instructed Wu Lin again, asking her to send someone to fetch a basin of cold water, Wu Lin's saw that Xu Youshan's attitude was resolute, and it was not easy to persuade again, so he had to shake his head and go out, and let the little maid who was guarding outside go to fetch a basin of cold water to come in, and personally twisted the handkerchief, handed it to Xu Youshan, and watched her touch her eyes with a slightly cool brocade handkerchief, so that she could be refreshed.
"What's going on over there at the empty mountain house?" Xu Youshan handed the handkerchief back to Wu Lin and asked in a voice.
"Back to the princess, there is no movement over there in the empty mountain residence, and the prince and the Xun steward have not come out of the study all the time." Wu Lin replied.
It seems that things are not simple, otherwise they would not have been discussed for so long, Xu Youshan raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, and asked Wu Lin to go to the bookshelf over there and bring two more books over, she still decided to wait, there was no movement on Xie Jing's side, and Xu Youshan's heart was always uneasy. It's better to wait for Xie Jing to come back like this. After Xu Youshan thought about it in her heart, she didn't care if Wu Lin wanted to persuade them again, so she rolled to the inside of the big kang near the window, leaned against the window and read the book.
The moonlight outside the window was moist, gently and softly penetrated into the window, and sprinkled onto Xu Youshan's body near the window, reflecting her snow-like skin was even more crystal clear, so that Xie Jingcai, who was tired, walked into the back cloud of Bowei, and when he saw the little man reading by the light and moonlight in the window, the turmoil in his heart was a little quiet.
"See the prince."
After seeing Xie Jing standing tall in the courtyard, the smile on Xu Youshan's little face that couldn't be concealed also made Xie Jing's slender eyes flash, and it fell into the eyes of others, but it was like a streamer falling from the sky, which almost blinded the eyes of a group of people.
"Your Highness." Xu Youshan is wearing a light blue flat Luo gauze skirt embroidered with white magnolia flowers today, behind her who came quickly, the layers of Luo yarn were blown up by the night breeze at this time, as if she was about to return by the wind, so that the light in Xie Jing's eyes suddenly stagnated, and then the long legs suddenly stepped forward, and before Xu Youshan could react, she took the first step in front of her and held his hand tightly.
"Your Highness......" Xu Youshan's face turned red in an instant, there were still many people in the courtyard, Xie Jing's pull suddenly made Xu Youshan shy. But Xie Jing didn't say anything, his face was still so indifferent, but in the next moment, he still led Xu Youshan into the house, and Wu Lin and the others naturally stayed outside the house to guard.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" As soon as he entered the house, Xie Jing took Xu Youshan and sat on the kang, looked at her and asked.
"It's nothing, it's just not sleepy, but Your Highness, have you had dinner in the afternoon?" Xu Youshan gently brought Xie Jingde's question over, and asked about the things she cared about.
In the eyes of outsiders, Xie Jing eats and drinks all day long outside, and there is nothing serious at all, and even the properties left to him by Empress Yuan Houzhen can survive to this day, just because Empress Zhen left Xie Jing a lot of capable shopkeepers, and those shops are afraid that Xie Jing will be squandered long ago. But unlike others, Xu Youshan didn't think much of it, because she knew that in fact, Xie Jing was outside, but none of them were eating, drinking, and having fun.
got up, Xu Youshan trotted to the inner room with a "puff" in Xie Jing's eyes, and after getting a piece of Xie Jing's permanent clothes, she returned to Xie Jing's side and took the initiative to change his clothes for him. Looking at Xu Youshan's petite figure and busy movements, Xie Jing's heart was soft.
In the past few days, almost all of Xu Youshan is helping Xie Jing change clothes, anyway, Xu Youshan wakes up before midnight every morning, and there is no time to miss Xie Jing's outing, so now Xu Youshan is very familiar with Xie Jing's dressing, and it won't take long for her to help Xie Jing finish changing.
"Your Highness, you haven't answered me yet, have you had dinner?" After Xu Youshan changed Xie Jing's clothes, she glanced at the beautiful young man in front of her with satisfaction, and after secretly being crazy for a while, she found that Xie Jing hadn't answered the question she just asked, so she raised her eyes to look at him and asked again.
But this time when she raised her eyes, what was reflected was Xie Jing looking at her, and her look couldn't be more focused, which made Xu Youshan miss a beat in her heartbeat, and immediately looked at Xie Jing and became crazy again.
Looking at Xu Youshan's stupid expression, Xie Jing's red lips rose higher, and with a gentle pull, he pulled Xu Youshan into his arms and hugged her, and Xu Youshan is very well-behaved now, she just cares about watching Xie Jing drool, how can she care about other trivial things.
