The night is dark and windy.

Lin Xi stood in the courtyard and did not move for a long time.

Xia Feng took the cloak and draped it on Lin Xi: "Girl, the wind is blowing, take care of your body." ”

Lynsey was stunned. After a long time, she raised her head, looked at the sky, and said with a gloomy face: "Xia Feng, it's really windy." ”

Xia Feng's heart tightened. She had never seen such a look on her face in the days she had followed her. It seems that the master's affairs today must be extraordinary, and the girl has only said a word since she came back.

Xia Feng thought for a while and said, "It's really windy, so I have to go into the house to take shelter." ”

Avoided it?

Lin Xi felt that his throat was a little dry, grandfather should have this idea too, otherwise, how could he take out all his net worth.

It's just that under the whole world, it is not the imperial land, if the queen mother really wants her to be friendly, it is useless to avoid anywhere.

Lin Xi sighed slightly, doubts flashing in his eyes.

Why did the people of Wei have to let her kiss, how could the Queen Mother ignore the feelings of the Hou Ye and her, and respond in one bite, what are the unknown secrets in this?

No, she will enter the palace tomorrow and ask the Queen Mother in person why she is only wanted.

……

In the inner house of the Gao Mansion, the Xia family waited for Gao Xiangye to change his clothes, and said softly: "I heard that the envoy of the Wei State asked for peace again, but is there such a thing?" ”

Gao Zecheng twisted his eyebrows: "Where did you hear something?" ”

Xia said with a smile: "There are rumors in the market, I heard that the Queen Mother has already responded." ”

Gao Zecheng's eyebrows tightened.

He had heard about the envoys of Wei entering Beijing, but he had never heard of the matter of making peace. These days are early. The emperor didn't mention this either, so where did this rumor come from.

Xia's heart was uncertain. He also said: "I also heard that the Queen Mother intends to send Lin Xi from the Marquis of Xiaoyao Mansion to Wei and her relatives. ”

"Nonsense!"

Gao Zecheng's face was gloomy: "Lin Xi is not from a serious family. How can you talk about kissing; Moreover, she has promised to be betrothed to the prince of Jing. ”

Gao Zecheng's attitude reassured Xia. She also heard the rumors outside, so she waited for the man to come back and test it.

She smiled and said softly: "It seems that the rumors outside are not true. Don't bother with it, sir, let's rest early. ”

……

A good night's sleep.

Lin Xi woke up early, dressed up, and went to her grandfather's room to say goodbye, her grandfather's face seemed to be better than yesterday, and her hanging heart calmed down.

Li Yingjie learned that Lin Xi was going to the palace. He looked at her fixedly, and after a long silence, he sighed: "Child, don't be angry with your grandmother, she may have her difficulties." ”

Lin Xi's eyes widened and he looked at him in disbelief. Grandfather, he still helps the Queen Mother speak.

Li Yingjie knew what she was thinking, and took a deep breath before saying softly: "In this world, there is always a last resort. Child, when you grow up, you will understand. ”

Lynsey sat in the carriage, thinking all the way about what her grandfather had said about the last resort. His eyes were a little dazed.

She went to Gaofu to be a maid, which was a last resort;

It is also a last resort to go out of the Gao Mansion and enter the Hou Mansion;

This will actually go to kiss. Lin Xi sighed faintly, is this a last resort.

Lynsey frowned. Loosened, wrinkled again. Released again, and after repeating it a few times, her heart slowly calmed down.

There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, no matter whether the road is square or round, she will definitely be able to go down, and she will take the road she wants to take. No matter who she is, she can't be forced.

Lincy made up her mind, and without hesitation, ordered the coachman to hurry up.

……

Lynsey stepped into Nagato Palace.

The majesty of Nagato Palace is still the same, but there is a sudden sense of strangeness. She let out a long breath and straightened her back as she walked over.

When Chunyang saw her coming, her eyes darkened, and she smiled a little unnaturally.

Lin Xihun didn't care, but still smiled, "Sister Chunyang, is the Queen Mother here?" ”

Chunyang motioned for her to wait, "The slave maid will help the girl to report." ”

Lynsey stopped and lowered her eyes. If it was in the past, this Nagato Palace would have come and gone with her, and there was no need to report it at all.

After a while, Chunyang came out and whispered, "The Queen Mother invites the girl in." ”

In the end, Lin Xi's heart was relieved, and he stepped into the palace.

The person is still the same person, but Lin Xi didn't dare to step forward, he only knelt down from a distance, and his every move was very regular, not as casual as usual.

Empress Dowager Li's eyes were hot, tears almost flowed, and she choked up: "Child, come here." ”

Lin Xi stepped forward, looked at her with clear eyes, and said bluntly: "Does grandmother want Xiao Xiyuan to marry Wei State?" ”

Without any superfluous words, without turning around and wiping her feet, Empress Dowager Li only felt a pain in her heart.

"Kid...... Grandmother ......"

The queen mother of a country was speechless, and Lin Xi's heart was cold.

"Grandmother, Konishi and King Jing have already married, can grandmother not let Konishi go to kiss for the sake of Konishi's well-behaved nature."

Empress Dowager Li burst into tears, she stroked Lin Xi's head, and sobbed: "Child, how can grandmother be reluctant." Grandmother's heart hurts a hundred times more than your grandfather's. ”

"Why, why it has to be me."

Empress Dowager Li shook her head and said, "The King of Chu of Wei has taken a fancy to you alone, and he is bent on marrying, and no other woman wants it." Don't worry, grandmother is trying to figure out a way, grandmother is reluctant to marry you far away. ”

"Really?"

"Absolutely." Empress Dowager Li's words were scorching.

Lin Xi's heart softened and said, "Grandmother, grandfather is sick, I have never seen him sick like this. ”

Empress Dowager Li's eyes were filled with tears: "You go back first, so that Hou Ye can recuperate with peace of mind." You tell him, I am a dignified country, how can I let others bully, I will not turn a blind eye. ”

Lin Xi's expression was moved, and he suddenly fell to his knees and kowtowed three times.

Empress Dowager Li was shocked and in pain, and the hand hidden in her sleeve was tightly clenched into a fist.

This kid knows how to measure.

This trip into the palace, Lin Xi did not go to see Lin Nan, even though she was pregnant, but returned to the Hou Mansion early. Her grandfather fell ill, and she had to do her filial piety for her mother she had not met.

……

Empress Dowager Li and others left. With a faint sigh, he leaned weakly on the couch.

Chunyang walked in. Caution called.

Empress Dowager Li opened her eyes and looked at her: "Go and summon the envoys of Wei." ”

She couldn't just bow her head like that. She had to make one last effort for this child. It's her blood and bones, and she can't ...... Nor should it be.

An hour later, Xu Yishi Shiran sat down, took a sip of tea, and waited for Empress Dowager Li to speak.

Empress Dowager Li's eyebrows furrowed slightly: "The mourning family is willing to cut the three cities in the north and replace the candidates for harmony." ”

Xu Yi smiled faintly: "Queen Mother, Wei is willing to use five cities to marry Lin Xi for the King of Chu." Please fulfill the Queen Mother. ”

"Why do you have to have her?"

"Because the king of Chu is pleasing to him."

"What if the mourners don't allow it?"

Xu Yi smiled faintly: "It's just an irrelevant woman, why is the Queen Mother reluctant." The five cities, the eternal friendship of the Wei State, the reputation of the Queen Mother, and the respect and gratitude of the emperor are not as important as this woman? Queen Mother, please think twice! ”

Empress Dowager Li sat down in her chair with a dejected face.

Xu Yi took a step forward, bowed down and said, "Could it be that there is some secret hidden in this Lin Xi?" makes it difficult for the Queen Mother to give up, or is she someone from the Queen Mother? ”

Empress Dowager Li was so shocked that she couldn't recover, she forced her calm face and waved her hand to signal someone to go out.

Xu Yi did not move under his feet. said with a smile: "Queen Mother, King Wei and others have good news, whether they succeed or not." Three days later, please ask the Queen Mother to give a message. ”

Empress Dowager Li and the others left, breaking the tea cup on the table. Anger flashed in his eyes.

Defeated, she was defeated.

……

Linsey returns home. Li Yingjie was already waiting for her, and when he saw her, he stood up.

"Child, what did she say, Queen Mother?"

Lin Xi didn't want to worry her grandfather, so she smiled and said: "Back to my grandfather, the queen mother said that she was reluctant to marry Xiaoxi far away, so that her grandfather could recuperate with peace of mind, she would definitely find a way." The Empress Dowager also said that she could not be bullied by the Wei people. ”

Li Yingjie let out a sigh of relief and looked at her softly: "Come here, let my grandfather take a look." ”

Lynsey leaned closer, stuck her head out, and quipped, "Grandfather has seen these days, hasn't he seen enough?" ”

Li Yingjie said in a low voice: "Child, what your grandfather gave you is hidden close to you." Grandfather has a few more people in his hand, and he will give them to you. In case ......"

"Grandfather ......"

Lin Xi's eyes were hot, and she almost burst into tears. It turned out that he also knew that Jun's heart was unpredictable, and secretly guarded for her.

Li Yingjie took out a token from his pillow, which was engraved with the word Jie.

"There are not many people, only ten, more than enough to protect you."

Lin Xi forced a smile: "Grandfather, it's not that step yet. ”

Li Yingjie shook his head: "I can't let you take a little risk." Go ahead and find a way to send a letter to the prince. I think the kid is assertive. ”

Lin Xi pounced on Li Yingjie's body, hugged him tightly, and stayed with tears in his eyes.

……

Lin Xi returned to the courtyard and sat on the big pit by the window, his eyes deep.

Xia Feng came in with a food box.

"Miss, it's time to eat."

Lin Xi shook his head: "Eat, I'm not hungry yet." ”

"If you're not hungry, use some too." Qiu Yu put down the needle and thread in his hand and helped Xia Feng set up the meal.

Lynsey still shook her head.

The two seasons glanced at each other, and Xia Feng opened his mouth to persuade: "Miss, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the Queen Mother is obedient to Miss, and she will not let Miss go to kiss so ruthlessly." ”

Lynsey smiled and didn't speak.

Just as the queen mother's grace came inexplicably, the news of this harmony also came inexplicably.

She is not married to someone else, but the prince of Jingwang. Although this son is a monk halfway, Prince Jing is a real relative of the emperor, and his strength is not trivial.

The Queen Mother ignored the face of King Jing's Mansion and insisted on asking her to be married, how do you look at this matter, how is it wrong.

Qiu Yu saw that Xiaoqiu was silent, thought for a while, and said, "Miss, why don't we send a letter to the prince and let him think of a way." The prince likes the young lady so much, and it is impossible to watch the young lady being sent to kiss her. ”

Lin Xi immediately shook his head: "The matter is not yet that far, the Queen Mother said that she will find a way." The junior brother is far away in Shandong, and the whip is beyond his reach, so don't alarm him first. If there is really something to be embarrassed about, it is not too late for him to find a way when the time comes. ”

Lynsey suddenly got up and pushed open the window.

Outside the window, a crescent moon hangs in the treetops. I miss the man who is like jade.

With his temperament, if he learns that the Queen Mother is going to send him and his relatives. It's going to be furious.

Although Lynsey is not very intelligent, she is also very eye-catching.

The junior brother is busy making money. It must be something she wants to do, she has a faint feeling that what her junior brother wants to do must not be so simple.

Since he can't help, he can't worry anymore, and if things go step by step, the Queen Mother may be soft-hearted.

……

The night is as cool as water, and the sound of leakage gradually becomes one.

In the Nagato Palace, Li Yan who watched a crescent moon with Lin Xi. A glitter flashed in his eyes, and a faint sigh came out.

Chunyang stepped forward and persuaded: "Queen Mother, it's late at night, it's time to rest." ”

Empress Dowager Li wiped her tears, forcibly suppressed her sourness, and said, "Let's let the mourning family stand again." ”

Chunyang gritted his teeth and said: "Queen Mother, the people of Wei are not good, according to the slave maid, the Queen Mother still let Miss Lin ...... Morning and evening day. Miss Lin will understand the embarrassment of the Queen Mother. ”

The tears that Empress Dowager Li had just accepted were dripping again. is said that she is ruthless, who knows that the person who is most reluctant to Xiaoxi in the world is her. She's her own grandmother.

But the country. In the world, how can her lifelong reputation allow her to do what the Lord wants. She and the first emperor have been in love for decades. The first emperor entrusted Jiangshan Sheji to her on his deathbed, how could she live up to it.

Since it can't be disappointed. Then there is only abandonment, and the heart-piercing pain comes. Empress Dowager Li gritted her teeth and said, "The mourning family now regrets not saving Concubine Shu's life at the beginning." If the way of heaven can come back, the mourning family will let her divide her five horses. ”

Chunyang shuddered, and years of tacit understanding made her understand the Queen Mother's final choice.

She said softly: "Since the Queen Mother has decided, there is something that the slave maid has to remind." King Jing is there, and the Queen Mother needs to be guarded. ”

Like an initiation, a cold light appeared in Empress Dowager Li's eyes.

The person Lin Xi married was the prince, and behind the prince stood King Jing. If a good marriage is broken up, King Jing will definitely turn his face, and there will be a big wave at that time, and she has to scruple.

Empress Dowager Li's mind moved, it seems that this matter should be operated secretly, and it is also necessary to prevent Wei from turning his face ruthlessly.

"Chunyang, you go to see that promise tonight."

……

Late at night, a crack in the palace gate was exposed, and a woman quietly walked out and got into a carriage waiting in front of the palace gate.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the back door of the inn, and a woman in a hood got out of it.

The door creaked open, and the woman took the opportunity to enter.

Xu Yi looked at the woman in front of him and playfully pulled out a smile. The Queen Mother actually sent her personal palace maid here, it seems that this matter is nine out of ten.

Chunyang took off his hat and said straight to the point: "The Queen Mother has already responded, but it's just ......"

"If you have any requirements, the girl will ask for them."

"The Queen Mother made three requests, and the first city was increased to six; secondly, the king of Chu personally married, and everything was secretly operated; The last ......"

"Please say the last one."

Chunyang hesitated: "How can the Queen Mother believe you?" ”

Xu Yi smiled faintly, in the end, it was the Empress Dowager Li, this move was extremely thoughtful, so that people had no chance to take advantage of it.

"Please tell the Queen Mother that the six cities are not a trivial matter for the Wei State. Such a momentum is the will of the Wei State, and the Queen Mother can believe it. ”

With such an empty sentence, Chunyang naturally heard that it was inappropriate, and was about to speak, Xu Yi said lightly: "If the Queen Mother doesn't believe it anymore, Xu Yi is helpless." After all, there are some things that still have to be gambled on. ”

Chunyang heard the threat in these words, and sneered: "Naturally, I believe that Wei Guo will definitely keep his promise." ”

……

Xu Yi sent people away, personally cut the wick with scissors, thought for a moment, and grinded and wrote letters.

After writing it, he handed it to the soldiers guarding the door: "Send it back to Wei quickly." ”

The soldier whistled lightly, and the dove fell from the sky.

……

Lin Xi didn't know that on the night when she was looking forward to the Queen Mother's change of heart, her life's events had been decided.

She saw that there was no movement in the palace for the past two days, and thought that the Queen Mother was thinking of a way, so she stayed by the Hou Ye's side to serve the sick with peace of mind.

In her spare time, she often sat under the window and held her hands together, but now she was very slow to fall her son, as if she was thinking about something.

……

Five days later, when Wen Ruipu, the king of Wei, was in the court, the palace people suddenly sent a secret letter.

Wen Ruipu looked at it, and his face was slightly happy.

Mr. is really a master, one person went out to reach a thousand troops, and even said that the Empress Dowager Li was moved, as long as Na Linxi entered the Wei State, then everything can be controlled.

Wen Ruipu immediately announced the next dynasty, leaving Wen Ruihao, the king of Chu, and Liu Baimei, the general, into the imperial study.

He showed them the secret letter.

"The Empress Dowager Xin has already responded, what do you think of this matter?"

When Liu Baimei saw it, she was naturally delighted.

Lin Xi is the daughter of her uncle, and she should have been from Wei, so she can return to Wei with a clear and honest attitude. And the person she married was Haozi, the princess of Chu who was exchanged for six cities. Although Haozi is amorous, for his sake, he will definitely treat her well.

If he broke out in the two wars and implicated Lin Xi, then he would make Lin Xi's identity as a descendant of the Liu family public, and no one in the Wei Kingdom would dare to underestimate her. In this life, she will be able to live in peace and be rich and old.

Liu Baimei sighed softly. If the old lady knew, she would have been pleasantly surprised.

Wen Ruihao read the secret letter, and his mind was full of Lin Xi's playful and cute appearance.

Yes, it's good. With such an interesting woman by my side, life should be much better. I heard that she also plays a good hand of chess, and when the couple has nothing to do, it can be regarded as a boudoir fun.

Thinking of this, Wen Ruihao smiled and said: "Brother Huang, the princess who was exchanged for six cities, the royal brother will love it like a treasure." ”

The implication is that six cities are too many.

Wen Ruipu glanced at him, and his eyes fell on Liu Baimei.

Liu Baimei thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, it seems that we have indeed lost some money at present, but if we plan according to Mr. in the future, we will still make money." ”

"Well said!"

Wen Ruipu stroked his palms and shouted: "Since this is the case, then we will do everything as Empress Dowager Li wishes." Haozi, Meimei, "

"Brother is here."

"The minister is here!"

"I will leave all the matter of welcoming your relatives to the two of you, and you must first take this matter properly and do it successfully. If Xin has any request, Wei will all respond. I want the world to know that my sincerity in friendship with Xin is undiminished. (To be continued......)
