Chapter 43: The Aroma of Crape Myrtle
Xu Mingwen is now in infinite self-spurning, what kind of question did she just ask, how can she ask if Zhai Yu has brought a sachet? Now there is really no hole in the ground, otherwise Xu Mingwen would definitely jump into it immediately.
"Nope."
And just when Xu Ming's head was almost unable to lift up, Zhai Yu's smiling voice gently came over and entered Xu Ming's ears.
"Ahh Oh, that's right. ”
But the amazing thing is that in Zhai Yu's own somewhat low voice, Xu Ming's heartbeat, which was originally chaotic, suddenly calmed down. She turned her head to look at Zhai Yu, who had been protecting her side, but found that he was really close to her now, so close that she could now see his side outline clearly, and she could also remember his good-looking face clearly.
Between the treetops and among the flowers, people have put up a bright and gorgeous lantern tonight, so that the flowers that are already delicate and colorful on weekdays are even more beautiful tonight and the stars in the sky reflect each other. At night, the strong fragrance of flowers with the wind is equally intoxicating tonight, and I can't help but immerse myself in the fragrance of flowers.
But among so many floral fragrances, there is always only one kind of Xu Mingwen that can smell tonight - crape myrtle flowers.

Tonight, the whole god capital is carnival, and the "center" of the god capital, which occupies all the upper reaches of the Han River, is also full of lights, although there is less excitement on the streets and roads in the city, but the luxury of the fire trees and silver flowers in the palace is incomparable to other places.
And in the midst of this. Of course, it is the most gorgeous decoration of the Guangming Palace.
In the Guangming Palace, under the stone bead lamp base of the twelve copper-plated dragons, the palace is as bright as day. It's so bright, there's no darkness in the corners. Therefore, when Meng Hai, the chief of the internal servants, reported the matter to Emperor Zhou Hui, the coldness on Emperor Zhou Huidi's face was also clearly revealed.
"It's all a good calculation, I'm not dead yet, and they're all going to worry about my aftermath one by one. It's so well prepared. ”
“……”
Emperor Zhou Hui said with a sneer, but Meng Hai didn't dare to answer. Over the years, Emperor Zhou Hui has been lingering on the sickbed. And suddenly it was so absurd that it was smacking, everyone thought that Emperor Zhou Hui was old and confused, but as the person closest to him by Emperor Zhou Hui's side and the person who had been with Emperor Zhou Hui for the longest time, Meng Hai, the chief of the internal service, seemed to Emperor Zhou Hui although he was indeed old and confused. can follow. But it is also suspicious and ruthless, and it has also become extremely scary.
Among them, the most well-known is not the Huanchuan Zhai family back then.
"Meng Hai."
And just when Meng Hai was extremely cautious, Emperor Zhou Hui suddenly called him.
"The old slave is here." Meng Hai hurriedly said respectfully.
"What's going on with the Xu family?" Emperor Zhou Hui suddenly asked softly.
"Qiqi Sheng, there is still no movement in the Xu family, although His Royal Highness the Second Prince and His Royal Highness the Third Prince have tried to make friends with the Lord and Nan Xianggong under the door, but they have all been avoided by these two elders. As for Xu Fuyin, the two highnesses didn't dare to bother. Emperor Zhou Hui's voice suddenly warmed, although it made Meng Hai's scalp tighten. But he still replied truthfully.
"I want to impress those two old fritters, Yan'er and the two of them are really too tender. As for Xu Xi, as long as Yan'er and them rush to approach, Xu Xi may take the opportunity to join them. When Emperor Zhou Hui talked about Xu Xi, he didn't know what to think of and smiled.
And Meng Hai on the side saw Emperor Zhou Hui like this, but he knew that Emperor Zhou Hui must have remembered that when Xu Xi was the governor of Tianfu Mansion, he dared to participate in the affairs of Emperor Zhou Hui when he first served as the governor of Tianfu Mansion.
"Yes, Xu Fuyin has been upright for many years, who else in the capital wants to see this adult besides you." Meng Hai echoed Emperor Zhou Hui's words.
After all, although the Governor and the Imperial Court are both the two giants of the advisory system, the Imperial Mansion has one more privilege than the Imperial Court, that is, the Imperial Mansion Yin can directly access the heavens, and can freely enter and leave the palace anytime and anywhere, and directly meet the emperor, and what a terrifying privilege is this? The giants who directly conceded the power of the DPRK and China were all conceded by three points when they saw the governor of Tianfu Mansion Yin in the past dynasties.
But because of this particularity of the Governor of Tianfu Yin, whenever the emperor appoints a new generation of Governor Tianfu Yin, people will know who the current emperor's number one confidant will be.
And now needless to say, what Emperor Zhou Hui believes most now may not be the Xu family, but because there is a Xu Xi in the Xu family, at least for now, Emperor Zhou Hui will not make a big deal against the Xu family.
"Really? But how do I think that some people are also not very afraid of Xu Xi, otherwise how could Yan'er and Min'er provoke the daughter of the Xu family again and again. Emperor Zhou Hui was smiling one second ago, but the next second he said expressionlessly.
And Meng Hai naturally shut up at this time, it was about the royal family, Emperor Zhou Hui said it himself, but if others said it, it might be a big sin for the nine clans.
"What I asked you to check a few days ago, how did you check?"
But Emperor Zhou Hui didn't mind Meng Hai's silence and asked about other things directly.
"Qiqi Sheng, the old slaves have all been checked, and His Royal Highness the eldest prince is indeed the same as His Royal Highness the second prince and the third prince, and they have sent people to guard around the Xu family." Meng Haiyu said.
"Yo, it seems that the daughters of the Xu family are really fighting for hundreds of people, and my three emperors actually belong to them." Emperor Zhou Hui sneered.
"Qiqi Sheng, follow your wishes, the old slave has also found out, the person sent by His Royal Highness the Great Prince often tracks down the eldest lady of the Xu family, Xu Yourong." Meng Hai said.
"Miss Xu, Xu Yourong?" Emperor Zhou Hui mocked: "It seems that our eldest prince, His Royal Highness, has a very high vision, and he actually takes a fancy to the eldest daughter of the Jiangzuo Xu family, tsk......"
Emperor Zhou Hui said with a smile on his face, but the ridicule in his words could be heard by anyone, "However, I seem to remember that the Xu family's generation only has four daughters, and didn't they already marry one in the early years." ”
"Qiqi Shengshang, yes, there are only four daughters in the Xu family's generation, and one of them is a concubine, as for the one who has been married, she is the eldest daughter of the second room of the Xu family." Meng Hai replied.
"Oh, there is a concubine, isn't it the daughter of the eldest son of Xu Rong?" Emperor Zhou Hui suddenly asked with interest: "I remember, I still asked people to check, didn't I?" (To be continued......)
