Rong Lan pinched his palm tightly to suppress the turbulence in his heart. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He looked at Xue Rou calmly, and said with a fierce face: "Do you know that if your words are spread, you will lose your head!" ”

Xue Rouwaner: "Will the prince spread it?" ”

Rong Lan frowned and didn't speak.

"Since the prince doesn't know how to spread the word, and there are only you and me here, why should Xue Rou be afraid of losing his head?"

Xue Rou picked up the tea cup that Rong Lan had overturned, poured out the remaining residual tea, washed the bottom of the cup with hot water, and then poured new tea again, put the teacup in front of Rong Lan and said indifferently: "I just saw that the prince was annoyed, so I persuaded two sentences, why should the prince be angry?" If the prince doesn't have this heart, but when I just say it casually, I don't have to take it to heart, but the prince is careful not to knock over this tea again, otherwise my mother-in-law will be distressed and scolded when she sees it. ”

After she finished smiling, she ignored Rong Lan anymore, and put the teapot on the small stove on the side, and the faint pine fragrance continued to come out of the stove, mixed with the fragrance of tea in the pot, which was intoxicating.

Rong Lan was calmed by Xue Rouyun's indifferent attitude, and he was speechless for a while.

He frowned and looked at the girl in front of him who was drinking tea by herself, her eyebrows were already as soft as ever, and her watery eyes were like waves, as if the sharpness and coldness he saw just now were just an illusion, if it weren't for the fact that Xue Rou's words were still in his ears, he even suspected that those words were really just her casual words.

Rong Lan couldn't figure out what Xue Rou meant for a while, and he was silent.

The tea house is placed in the deep alley, there are very few people who come and go, and the old woman's temperament is even more strange, let Qin Xi come out in the middle of the road and erect a huge sign at the intersection, the sign is hung with the word closed, originally some people who see that there is a tea house here and want to come in to rest their feet can not help but scatter their thoughts, turn around and leave, so the vicinity of the tea house is even more deserted.

The old woman and Qin Xi were cooking in the back of the house, and from time to time the old woman's angry voice could be heard.

"Qin Xi girl, wash this dish!"

"Qinxi girl, chop off the head and feet of this duck."

"Hey, hey, what are you doing, who told you to chop your ass, this is a big supplement! Oops, go aside, this won't be, go, go get the miso over......"

"Oh, it's not this, it's that over there, why are you so stupid when you look smart?"

From time to time, there was a small protest in the back kitchen, but after a moment, the old woman yelled back, and Xue Rou couldn't help laughing.

Qin Xi is very good in all aspects, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is extremely talented in business and money, but only this cooking skill is more than ten years like a day, without any growth, even Qin Yan, who has never been a picky eater, retreated as soon as he heard Qin Xi cooking, it is enough to imagine how "convincing" Qin Xi's craftsmanship is.

Xue Rou smiled, and the originally somewhat depressing atmosphere instantly dissipated.

Rong Lan heard the movement in the back kitchen, remembered the noble and arrogant appearance of the girl named Qinxi when she sent him a letter that night, and then heard the angry roar of the old woman in his ears from time to time, and suddenly couldn't help but chuckle.

"This mother-in-law has a really bad temper, but your girl is good-natured."

Xue Rou smiled: "Mother-in-law's temper is a little weird, but she is not bad-hearted, otherwise she wouldn't have kept us to eat." ”

Rong Lan nodded when he heard this, he looked at Xue Rou smiling happily, and unconsciously relaxed, and after a while, he spoke: "Don't worry about what you said, what you said is not wrong, whether it is me, King Qing, or King Fu over the years, what is the difference between what you have done and what you say, it's just that no one has ever picked it out." ”

Xue Rou listened to Rong Lan's words and restrained her smile and said, "I understand." The way of the world is like this, from the moment you were born in the royal family, you are destined to fight, not only for the throne, but also for the future, which is destined by birth, and there is nothing to be ashamed of. ”

Rong Lan smiled and nodded, he looked at the woman in front of him: "Then what do you think of my current situation?" ”

Xue Rou tilted her head slightly, and said with a light smile in her clear eyes: "Then the prince thinks that who is more threatening right now, King Qing or King Fu?" ”

"King Qing."

Rong Lan said bluntly without thinking about it: "Although King Fu should not be underestimated, but behind him in the end there is only one Yue family and Cheng Yangyun, Cheng Yangyun is in the position of the secretary of the ministry, if there is a heart to find it, it is not impossible to find the mistakes and omissions, and Yue Feiran is just a Taifu in the end, although the Yue family is noble, but the people of the Yue family do not have much money in their hands in order to flaunt the literati style, so most of the people who can be gathered by King Fu are some new ministers and courtiers from poor families, and those few families who seem to be close to him have no vested interests. Their relationship is not strong. ”

"But King Qing is different, King Qing's mother is the daughter of the Xiao family, and he has the blood of the Xiao family, so whether it is Xiao Qingcang or the Empress Dowager Xiao, in order to make King Qing take the throne, he will do his best, the Empress Dowager Xiao has controlled the inner palace for many years, and after the death of the first queen, his father has never established a queen, and now although there is Ning Guifei to contain it, it is still no match for the queen mother's decades of operation, and Xiao Qingcang in the court is the prime minister, holding real power, although Xie Chen seems to be restrained by him, But this is all because this is a situation that can be created by his father's reluctance to sit on the Xiao family, Xiao Qingcang is also afraid of angering his father, so he has let Xie Chen go so far, and has never really killed the Xie family, but if one day everyone tears their faces and really makes a move, Xie Chen and the Xie family are definitely not Xiao Qingcang's opponents. ”

The Xiao family has been operating in Southern Chu for decades, and has survived three dynasties, Xiao Qingcang is even more like two dynasties, that Xie Chen is just a person who has been deliberately cultivated and promoted by the Chu Emperor to fight against the Xiao family in the past ten years, even if the Chu Emperor deliberately favors him, the Xie family's background is still not comparable to the Xiao family, if there are another ten years, the Xie family may be able to fight with the Xiao family with all their might, but the current Xie family and Xie Chen are definitely not Xiao Qingcang's opponents.

Xue Rou originally thought that Rong Lan relied on the Xie family, so she was a little blind to the Xie family, but she didn't expect him to see the Xie family so clearly, which saved her a lot of lips and tongue, Xue Rou lightly hooked the corners of her mouth and said lightly: "Then what if King Qing loses the Xiao family?" ”

"What do you mean?" Rong Lan was shocked.

"If the prince marries the daughter of the Xiao family, and some people of the Xiao family turn to the prince's side, what about it?"

Rong Lan suddenly raised his head, and said with suspicion in his eyes: "You spy on me? ”

"Huh?"

Xue Rou frowned inexplicably, she did send someone to secretly watch a few princes, but it stands to reason that Rong Lan shouldn't know, and if he really knew about her, how could he sit here and talk to her so calmly, so Xue Rou just frowned and wondered: "What does the prince mean by this?"
