Chapter 37: A Gathering of the Wai Mansion

After everyone in Huaiwangfu left, Xue Qi re-entered the Lu family.

Lu Dahu and Feng were shocked, still trembling, today they are princes and princesses, they have never seen such a noble person in their lives, they can brag about it for a long time in the future, and they are so excited that they can't stop for a while.

Seeing Xue Qi coming in, the two of them hadn't come back to their senses yet.

Xue Qi took out a bag of silver from his arms with a cold face and threw it in Lu Dahu's arms: "Reward you." ”

Lu Dahu trembled and caught the silver bag slightly, and the heavy weight made him feel his hands tremble even more.

"Great, sir, this, this is too much." When the words fell, he was slapped by Feng Shi on the waist.

"What you give is yours, less verbose."

"Yes, my lord's right, the grass people thank you." Feng Shi smiled all over his face, and pulled Lu Dahu to kneel and snort his head.

Immediately, she felt her hair move, Feng Shi looked up indistinctly, and saw that the adult in front of her, who had always had a cold face, was holding a silver butterfly in his hand. She reached out and touched her head, yes, it was the one she was wearing.

That Mrs. Ji gave it to her...... Oh no, it was given to her by Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Seeing Feng's pain, Xue Qi said coldly: "I accepted this ornament, does Madam have any opinions?" ”

"No, no, it's good if the adults like it, and the women have no complaints." She glanced at the silver bag in Lu Dahu's hand, even if it was a visual inspection, she could see that it was worth a lot of money, definitely more valuable than this silver basket.

Xue Qi put the silver butterfly into his sleeve pocket, and before going out, he ordered: "These days, the princess and the overseer live here, don't mention it to others, if I find out that you are making noise about their affairs, just like this!" ”

When the words fell, the knife flashed, and the stone pier where Hua was squatting to tell the story of the eight ladies cracked in response to the sound, and in the midst of the flying rubble, Lu Dahu and Feng Shi turned pale with faces, and saw Xue Qi disappear at the door in the blink of an eye......

In their lifetimes, they will keep their mouths shut, and no one can pry them open......

Xue Qi held the knife upside down, and looked at Lu Dahu's family with a cold face After he left, he slammed the door shut, half excited, half frightened.

Looking at the direction of the Lu family, he was slightly puzzled, the poor and dilapidated house, the overseer had lived in this kind of place for more than half a month.

Xue Jinian's temperament he knows a little bit, he must eat and wear well, and he can't tolerate dirt and chaos, but he can't meet the slightest requirement of this residence.

It would be understandable to say that there was really no one around the Overseer, but in fact......

Xue Qi clapped his hands, and a man in black slid in front of him like a ghost from the back of the house.

"Big stall."

Xue Qi coldly ordered: "Notify you to go down, evacuate all, you don't have to guard here." ”

"Yes."

The trees swayed slightly, and soon fell silent.

On this trip out of Beijing, everything was going according to the Governor's calculations, but he didn't expect that Xue Jinian would even disregard his life for a fake princess.

When he learned that Xue Jinian actually blocked a knife for Hua Qian and disappeared in the water, Xue Qi's mind went blank for a moment. If it weren't for the remnants of his sanity, he would almost have jumped into the river to touch it.

He had been worried about Xue Jinian, how could his body block the assassin's blow?

But just now he saw that although the Overseer's complexion was more ugly, it was much better than he had imagined.

@@@@

Huai Wangfu

It's the first time to live in a rich man's room, look at this ornament, look at this decoration, just touch two pieces and go home, it's enough for her to eat and drink for a lifetime.

Fortunately, she was still a little sensible, and with the things here, it was estimated that she had broken her leg before she touched the gate of the palace.

Hua Qiandong touched the west, and the more he touched, the more frustrated he became.

It's a crime to live too well, she has to be careful and scared, in case it is accidentally broken, she can't afford to pay for selling herself.

"Knock Knock ......"

Someone is knocking on the door.

Hua Qian opened it and saw that it was Xue Jinian.

In this strange palace, it is always very happy to see your own people.

Hua Qian smiled on her face, and opened her mouth to say crisply: "Xianggong, we ......" The words behind her were stuck, and she saw Xue Qi who was following behind Xue Jinian.

Xue Jinian: "......"

"Hehe, that ...... Governor, well, what is the reason why the Governor has come? Hua Qian smiled. In Lujia Village before, she called him Xianggong every day, and she shouted smoothly, but she couldn't change it all of a sudden. However, that was when there were no familiar outsiders present, and now that there was Xue Qi, she rarely felt that her face was a little hot.

Xue Jinian paused and looked back at Xue Qi.

"The subordinates will retire first." Xue Qi retreated, and at this time, Hua Qian's voice of "Xianggong" was still echoing in his mind, humming, so that he withdrew from the woman's yard, and couldn't help but stop and look back, and then he saw his own Shangfeng enter the house with his hands in his hands, and the door was immediately closed.

Xue Qi raised his eyebrows, in broad daylight, what are you doing when the door is closed?

Xue Jinian also wanted to know this question, looked at Hua Qian's cautious look outside the door, and then closed the door with a bang.

The two didn't speak for a while, Xue Jinian came to the table and sat down, only then did he raise his head and say to Hua Qian: "Is the princess still used to living?" ”

Hua Qian replied honestly: "I'm not used to it, things are too expensive, I don't dare to touch them." ”

Xue Jinian sneered and said, "No matter how valuable the things in the Huaiwang Mansion are, they can't compare to the palace, if the princess can't even afford this bit of wealth, she won't be scared to death after returning to the palace." ”

"Not really."

"Why?"

"I'm a princess, the palace is my home, and I don't have to pay for breaking my own things."

Xue Jinian was stunned, the corners of his eyes were slightly curved, and his smile flashed.

He replied seriously: "You don't have to pay for the things in Huai Wangfu. ”

When Hua Qian heard this, he also asked seriously: "Is there such a good thing?" Can I walk with both? ”

Xue Jinian: "......"

Hua Qian saw that kind of look of disgust on his face again, oh no, he was very disgusted.

But she didn't care.

She squatted at his feet like a puppy, beating his legs for him with a flattering face, and asked, "When the Governor comes to me, won't he just ask me if I'm doing well?" ”

Xue Jinian quickly pressed her hand, and his eyes were cold: "You forgot your identity again." ”

Hua Qian was stunned for a moment, and then stood up. danced on the grass and forgot that she was a princess.

In front of him, she always involuntarily made dog legs, this problem really needs to be changed, otherwise she will kill herself.

She coughed twice uncomfortably, leaned her neck and replied with a noble face: "This palace is grateful because of the Governor's grace to save him that day." After returning to the palace, the palace will definitely give the father and the queen mother, and there will be many rewards. ”

Xue Jinian: "......"

As soon as Hua Qian finished speaking, he immediately burst out laughing, and while laughing, he pulled Xue Jinian's sleeve and shook it: "Look at you, how is my posture?" Can you learn like that? ”

Pulling Xue Jinian's sleeves and shaking this little daughter's posture was raised when he was in Lujia Village. In order to show everyone how much love he and his wife are stronger than Jin, and to strengthen the credibility of the story of the martyrdom of her husband by robbers on the road, she always shows her affection with Xue Jinian when she is in front of people.

Although Xue Jinian looked patient every time, the miraculous thing was that every time, he didn't interrupt her. From her, she brushed wave after wave of gentle and virtuous images in the hearts of everyone in Lujia Village.

Xue Jinian pulled back his sleeves a little uncomfortably, stood up, and said, "Rules and etiquette, charm and temperament, someone will teach you after you return to the palace." The princess is now from a well-known background, and it doesn't hurt to behave inappropriately, but you also need to keep it in mind at all times, so as not to let someone with a heart take advantage of the loophole and fall into the truth. Tomorrow, the second prince will hold a banquet in Xingyue Pavilion, and ask the princess not to be late. ”

The words fell, and without waiting for Hua Qian to say anything, he opened the door by himself and hurriedly walked out.

Hua Qian watched Xue Jinian's figure disappear outside the courtyard speechlessly, what was he doing here? Came to inform her that she was going to the banquet tomorrow?

Also, where is Xingyue Pavilion? How is she going?

She shrugged and couldn't figure it out, she threw herself on the bed, closed her eyes and began to fantasize about tomorrow's food.

Anyway, as long as her identity is not exposed, even if Xue Jinian doesn't send someone to pick her up, the second son will remember, it's not that he said that he wants to do a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, if she doesn't go, how can his "friendship of the landlord" be complete.

Xue Jinian hurriedly left Hua Qian's room, and as soon as the wind blew outside, he felt better on his face.

He reached out and touched his face, not understanding what was hot on his face when he faced Hua Qian?

Thinking of this, he paused, and hesitantly turned around to look in the direction of Hua Qian's room. From his point of view, he couldn't see her for a long time, but as if he suddenly thought of something, he tightened his hands and turned to leave.

"Overseer." It's Xue Qi.

"What?"

Xue Qi stepped forward, approached him and whispered a few times, and after a while, the two of them left the backyard one after the other.

@@@

"You mean, Xue Qi went out today?"

"Exactly." A man in a gray servant robe bowed his head and replied, "It's a flying pigeon, and my subordinates wanted to hunt it, but unfortunately the pigeon was extremely sensitive and couldn't catch it." ”

Yin Zishang's eyes lit up: "Who let you make your own decisions?" ”

When the man in gray heard this, he immediately knelt down: "The subordinates are guilty, please punish the second son." ”

Yin Zishang had a cold face: "In the future, anything about Xue Jinian needs to be instructed, and you must not act without authorization, and if you violate it, this son will never be spared!" ”

"Yes!"

Yin Ziwen leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and chuckled when he heard this: "It's just a pigeon, why is it worth the anger of the second brother?" ”

Yin Zishang lowered his hand and said: "The son of the world does not know, there is a group of specialized pigeons in the East Factory, which are different from ordinary pigeons, and there are companions when they go out on a mission. Now that Xue Jinian is in our house, there are some things that we have to guard against. ”

"Just a eunuch who was chased by the Assassins and almost died? What can hinder us? If it weren't for Princess Changning with him, would he be able to eat and drink well in Huaiwang's Mansion now? What a dog thing he's in! ”

Yin Zishang lowered his eyes, covering the cold light under his eyes, and he didn't argue with Yin Ziwen's words.

"Shut up!" It's the prince of Huai.

"Father."

"Father."

King Huai entered the hall with his hands behind his back, he heard the conversation between the two brothers clearly, when he passed by Yin Zishang's side, he glanced at Yin Zishang, the second child is a clear brain, but unfortunately his background is destined to not bear the future of Huai Wangfu.

Yin Zishang stood respectfully as always, and waited for Wang Ye to step on the first seat, and then sat down at the bottom.

"Father, what are we going to do now?"

For Xue Jinian and Hua Qian, Yin Ziwen had a headache.

"What else? Kicked out? "Lord Huai was a little annoyed, but he was helpless.

Yin Ziwen choked, and glared at Yin Zishang with some unpleasant taste. He still hasn't figured out how he found Xue Jinian in Jingyang.

The legendary Xue Jinian, who existed like a ghost, really fell to Jingyang, and it was found by the guards of their palace. It is said that he was in time, and after a moment and a half, he was chopped up by the Assassins.

Phew, these bastards don't usually see how active they are, but it's neat to find someone, how good it would be if Xue Jinian was really hacked to death!

A bunch of bastards!

"Father, do you think it has something to do with His Majesty's last will?"

King Huai was surprised: "How can you think so?" ”

Yin Zishang lowered his head, a little hesitant: "Erchen doesn't understand either, but he suddenly thought of this." ”

A year ago, Kyoto came to decree, and everyone from the Xuanwang Mansion entered Beijing, and for some reason, the name of Yin Zishang was mentioned at the end.

At this time, the other person was not in Jingyang, which was the will of King Huai. The holy decree didn't say anything, it basically meant that there was joy in Beijing, and His Majesty wanted to rejoice with the people. Since Jingyang belongs to the Great Jin Dynasty, it is natural to send people there.

King Huai couldn't figure out why he would declare Yin Zishang at that time, and as the concubine of King Huai's mansion, it stands to reason that it is not appropriate to attend this kind of occasion.

It just so happened that he was not in the house at the time, and his whereabouts were not easy to say, so Wang Ye Huai sent his son Yin Ziwen to go alone. It was declared to the outside world that King Huai was unwell, and Yin Zishang wanted to go to bed and be filial.

As for why Yin Zishang's whereabouts can't be told to outsiders, the father and son present know it.

The chair in the Jinluan Palace, every child surnamed Yin wants to go up and sit down, and Huaiwang Yin Gu is no exception.

It's just that these secret rubbing thoughts, he moved relatively late, and it is only in recent years that he has begun to be a little active. It was at that time that Yin Zishang went north to secretly contact major affairs.

"No, we've been so careful all these years that it's impossible for us to show our feet. Except for me and other people in the palace, few people in the palace knew about it. Yin Ziwen asserted.

Yin Ziwen said again: "Xue Jinian's fall to this point today is purely his own self-inflicted. ”

Yin Zishang continued to be silent.

Listening to the prince Yin Ziwen and Prince Huai report everything in the house, Yin Zishang did not speak again, and Yin Zishang felt very clear about the faint and slightly pitiful gaze of Prince Huai. He didn't say anything, but his heart sank terribly.

No matter what he did for Huai Wangfu, no matter how much he paid, Huai Wangfu couldn't be his!

Never, it won't be his!

@@@

In the guest room of King Huai's Mansion, Xue Qimu looked at his boss with a face, he still didn't understand, how did the overseer become the "father-in-law" of the female bandit?

Xue Jinian lowered his eyes and looked at the secret letter in his hand, and the bottom of his eyes was unknown.

"How are you searching these days?"

"I've searched everywhere I can, and there's nothing out of the ordinary. The means of this Huai Wangfu are clever, and his subordinates are incompetent, and they can't find any clues. ”

Xue Jinian casually threw the note into the teacup and said, "It's good if you can't find it, if you really find out something, I'm afraid I can't leave Jingyang." ”

Xue Qi was taken aback: "You mean ......"

Xue Jinian waved his hand and didn't let him continue: "There is no need to mention this matter again." Only now is to wait. You prepare early, we will enter Beijing at any time. ”

"But the people from Kyoto haven't arrived yet."

"Don't worry, Huai Wangfu will naturally arrange it."

Xue Qi responded, slowed down, he glanced at his master, and said hesitantly: "Overseer, you said that the second prince will really enter Beijing with us?" ”

Xue Jinian stood by the window, with a long body and an indifferent expression: "He will." ”

The place where he lives is relatively high, at this time, he stands on the second floor, looking out of the window, the rockery and flowing water pavilions and pavilions, all the way stretching layer upon layer, and you can vaguely see a corner of the courtyard where Hua Qian.

The scenery of King Huai's Mansion is good, this brick and tile are all money, these years, I want to come to King Huai to run well.

"The subordinates really don't know, why did the overseer go to such great lengths just to fish the second son away from Jingyang?" With Xue Jinian's means, wouldn't it be easier to let His Majesty issue a holy decree and directly let Yin Zishang enter the capital to face the saint? If you really have any private words, you can also let the secret agents of the East Factory come to contact, and you can't risk your life.

Xue Jinian's gaze fell on Xue Qi flatly, if someone else asked, it would definitely disgust him, but Xue Qi wouldn't. In his previous life, this subordinate was loyal to him until his death, which made him somewhat comforted.

"The king of Fan is not allowed to enter Beijing without an edict, a year ago, His Majesty had issued an edict to allow the king to bring his family to Beijing for reunion, which specifically mentioned the concubine Yin Zishang, but the Huai Wangfu did not let Yin Zishang go with him."

Xue Qi knew about this, and the prince wrote to him, saying that he had been bedridden for a long time, and he couldn't face the saint, and he was uneasy, and all the affairs of the palace were handed over to the prince to manage, and the son of the prince would make amends on behalf of his father, and he knelt on the top of the golden palace and kowtowed several times.

As for the concubine Yin Zishang, before his father entered the bed of filial piety, he couldn't enter the Beijing face saint, and he made the prince kowtow several more times.

It's a trivial matter, and Your Majesty is not embarrassed, and the meaning will pass in two sentences.

"They are all their own sons, they can get His Majesty's blue eyes, they are all Longen, why can't Lord Huai see his second son?"

"It's hard to say what the world is sinking."

"Yin Zishang is just an inconspicuous concubine in the Huaiwang Mansion, and there are countless wives and concubines in the backyard of the Huai Wang, and there are many heirs, but over the years, how many sons in the palace can be known to the outside world? His mother was the princess's personal maidservant, and her status was low, and it was impossible for the Holy Lord to summon the anonymous concubines in the courtier's mansion again and again. ”

Xue Qi was taken aback, as the leader of the Dongchang Information Collection Center, he naturally knew that there were many sons and daughters of King Huai, and there was a long list of names, but what the world knew and could say was only the two sons and one daughter born to the princess, and among the concubines, only the second son, Yin Zishang, was the second son. Battle

What does this mean? It shows that the concubine is quite unwelcome in the house. The princess is strictly disciplined, and she will never let these concubines and concubines have a bright future.

If Your Majesty summons him again and again, he will arouse the vigilance of King Huai. Although Xue Qi didn't know why Xue Jinian was sure that the Huai Wangfu had a tendency to rebel, with his understanding of his master, the overseer was by no means a person who was a man of false promises.

Although the matter has not been reported to the court at present, Xue Qi believes that this is only because the overseer has not yet found definite evidence. But he just said that it's better not to find evidence? This made Xue Qi foggy again.

Xue Qi silently pondered his thoughts in his mind for a long time, and found that the more rational he was, the more unreasonable he became, so forget it, just follow his boss.

He raised his head, his eyes were firm, and he wanted to speak again, but he heard Xue Jinian continue: "Now that all forces in the factory have infiltrated, this governor's departure from Beijing this time is the time for them to show up, and after returning to Beijing, they will be wiped out!" ”

There was a cold meaning in the words, Xue Qi was in good spirits, there was an undercover agent in the East Factory, he had already known about it, but the overseer had always disagreed with it, it turned out that it was all for today.

"Did the Overseer calculate today so that he didn't let his subordinates pull out those nails?"

Xue Jinian smiled: "If it weren't for that, how could Huai Wangfu easily believe that I would fall into Jingyang?" ”

People always listen and believe, and they always subconsciously believe what their own people say. Of course, there are exceptions, such as Yin Zishang.

But from Yin Zishang's choice to rescue instead of falling into the well, it can be seen that he is also waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to leave Jingyang!

Now, he personally presented this opportunity, Yin Zishang, this favor must be remembered!

Xue Qi bowed deeply and said respectfully: "The overseer is like a god, and his subordinates admire!" ”

Xue Jinian raised his hand: "Thousands of miles away, now is the beginning, it will be more difficult in the future, you need to prepare first." ”

"Yes!"

Thinking that Xue Jinian would not say anything more, Xue Qi was about to retire, when he suddenly remembered something. He took out a silver butterfly from his arms and presented it to Xue Jinian.

Xue Jinian's eyes fell on the silver butterfly in Xue Qi's palm, froze, and stretched out his hand to twist it.

Xue Qi knew this silver butterfly, which the female bandit had been wearing before. But he couldn't figure out why the governor had asked him to get it back. It doesn't look worth much!

However, this question is not important, the important thing is that the next moment, Xue Jinian's calm voice sounded in his ears: "Check it out, who lost the mask!" ”

Xue Qi was stunned and looked up at Xue Jinian.

Immediately, his face turned pale, and he knelt down at Xue Jinian's feet: "The overseer forgives his sins!" ”

"This matter has nothing to do with you."

Xue Qi's body shook slightly, and his voice became deeper and lower: "The subordinate is the shadow head of the second place, and the subordinate makes a mistake, and the subordinate is duty-bound." ”

He must bear this responsibility, and he confesses it, and the sin does not lead to death; If he doesn't admit it, that B will definitely die!

"As the Governor said, this matter has nothing to do with you, so there is no need to mention it again."

"Overseer!" Xue Qi wanted to argue again, but when he received Xue Jinian's suddenly cool gaze, he felt a chill in his heart, and he didn't dare to reconsider this matter again.

Seeing Xue Qi lowering his head again, Xue Jinian's eyes turned out of the window leisurely, the sun outside the window was warm and the sky was just right, I don't know what he thought of, his face also warmed.

"Let him go to the torture room by himself to receive thirty lashes, and then he will be absolutely out of the ground!"

Xue Qi was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of joy appeared on his always cold face, is this sparing that kid's life?

"Yes!"

At the end, he said: "His subordinates thanked the overseer for his grace not to kill." ”

Star Joy Court

Xingyue Pavilion is separated from Huaiwang's Mansion by three streets, and the decoration in the pavilion is rich and gorgeous, which can be regarded as a high-standard banquet in Jingyang.

The silk and bamboo are pleasant and delicate, and the melons and fruits are presented like flowing water, and they are staggered and happy for a while.

Are the guests and hosts really happy? Hua Qian didn't know, anyway, she wasn't happy at all. The plate of roast chicken in front of her had been beckoning to her countless times, and for the sake of her identity, it took her 120,000 points of strength to hold down her hand.

She glanced at the bad old man in a gorgeous brocade dress next to her, and looked at Yin Zishang's humble demeanor, Bacheng is the prince of Huai. and the man next to him who always smiled disgustingly at her, as long as she glanced at him and immediately raised his glass to salute, it was no surprise that it should be the prince of Huaiwangfu.

The old man had been toasting to her frequently, but later found out that she was just a wooden beauty who could giggle, and even if she was noble, she couldn't stop the fleeting contempt in his eyes.

This bad old man thought she was a fool, and after being polite to her, he stopped paying attention to her, and devoted himself to the great cause of intoxicating Xue Jinian.

He didn't drink it himself, saying that he was not in good health, and the doctor instructed him not to drink, so he asked Yin Zishang to drink it, one cup after another, and he was dumbfounded.

That's a lot of alcohol.

Xue Jinian was not worried, Xue Qi stood aside and poured wine for him, changing one pot after another.

On the occasion of changing lamps, Xue Jinian raised his glass and said with a smile: "This cup, your subordinates respect the prince, and I wish the prince a long and healthy life." ”

Huai Wang Ye stroked the goatee and laughed haha: "Inherit the auspicious words of Lord Admiral." With a wave of his hand, Yin Zishang on the side had another glass of wine.

Xue Jinian said: "Thanks to the rescue of the prince this time, the ministers will toast the prince again, and wish the prince all the best." ”

Huai Wang Ye is hahaha again, and after he finished haha, he said: "Lord Admiral is really good at laughing, life is in the world, and there is a chance that those who are unsatisfactory will be nine times out of ten, how can everything go well." ”

He sighed and said, "If there is a talent like Lord Admiral under this king's banner, I think it will be a good thing." ”

Xue Jinian bowed his hand and said: "Wang Ye Hongfu, how can ordinary people compare." ”

After the words fell, he drank the wine in the cup, and said: "The prince's actions are gracious and reconstructed, and if he needs it in the future, his subordinates are willing to follow the work of dogs and horses." ”

"Good! Hahaha......" Wang Ye Huai smiled deeper with orange peel on his face, looking proud.

Hua Qian touched his stomach, and glanced at Xue Jinian weakly: Can I eat it? Can I eat it?

It's a pity that Xue Jinian didn't reply to her from beginning to end, she glared at the roast chicken in front of her sadly, there is something wrong, isn't it, how can she gnaw it when it comes to the whole one? Don't you have a knife in the kitchen? Won't split a point?

If she wants to pretend to be a lady, she can't twist a small piece!

Hua Qian decided that out of sight was pure, and her gaze fell straight on the opposite side, and then saw that the prince raised his glass to her again.

She took her glass, smiled back, and drank it all.

Kabuki came in to dance again, and the water sleeves were waving, and Hana looked at it, feeling that the roast chicken in front of him seemed to be dancing.

After half of the wine, Xue Jinian said: "This time the princess returns to Beijing, and she still needs to rely on the prince." The queen thinks about her daughter and hopes that the prince can arrange one or two. ”

"That's as it should be. Jingzhou, how are things going? ”

"Back to my father, everything has been arranged, and we can leave at any time."

"Hmm." He also said to Xue Jinian: "You have also seen my two sons, and he is in charge of arranging affairs, and if the Admiral has any requirements, he can mention them to him." ”

Xue Jinian arched his hand and said: "Don't dare to be, the second son is famous, and the arrangement must be appropriate." There is Lao Ergongzi in this matter, and Xue has thanked him here. ”

Yin Zishang said: "Lord Admiral is polite. ”

Xue Jinian said: "This matter is sooner rather than later, dare to ask the second son, can you leave the day after tomorrow?" ”

So fast?

Yin Zishang said: "Yes." It's just the scenery of Jingyang, will the Admiral and the princess no longer go shopping? He said this to Hua Qian.

Seeing Yin Zishang's gaze looking straight over, Hua Qian's hand holding the cup had to be put down, to be honest, she really wanted to go shopping.

"This time there is no need, this palace thinks of his own heart, and just wants to see his father and mother as soon as possible, and if he has the opportunity one day, he will come to Jingyang again to enjoy the scenery."

The two sides exchanged a few more words, and Hua Qianjun replied one by one.

Xue Jinian said: "I heard that the prince has been unwell recently, I don't know if it is better?" ”

King Huai said: "Alas, it's an old problem. ”

Xue Jinian said: "That being the case, we are still bothering the prince, but I really don't want to go." ”

"It's okay for this king, it's all taken care of by the prince inside and out, and this king is happy to be idle."

Xue Jinian raised a cup and saluted Yin Ziwen: "Xue Mou respects the prince with a cup, the prince has a lot of opportunities, and he has worked hard." ”

"Where, where, it's not as hard as Lord Admiral's travel thousands of miles to welcome the princess." Yin Ziwen smiled sneeringly and saluted Xue Jinian.

Xue Ji Nianquan didn't see it, he poured another glass of wine and saluted Yin Zishang: "The prince is busy with official business, presumably this time when he enters Beijing, the second son should do it for him." Xue Moujing has a cup of the second son, and all the way back, there is the second son of Lao. ”

When the words fell, he didn't give Yin Zishang room to reply, and drank it all.

The banquet was quiet for a while, Yin Zishang smiled bitterly, looked at Huai Wangye, and hesitated to speak: "I'm afraid I will disappoint my lord, in the next ......."

Xue Jinian was puzzled: "What doubts does the second son have?" ”

"Lord Admiral doesn't know that my father is unwell, and as a son, he should serve in front of the bed, so why should he leave home at this moment." The words were full of apologies, and there were concerns about his father's health.

Xue Jinian also replied in a deep voice: "What the second prince said is extremely true. ”

He slowly swept his eyes at the banquet, and said: "It's just that the princess is back to the palace, and the princess is busy. ”

"This ......" Yin Zishang bowed his head in embarrassment.

Lord Huai, who was sitting on the throne, smiled heartily: "Jingzhou doesn't have to be embarrassed, Lord Admiral said very well, the princess has golden branches and jade leaves, and there must be no mistakes." There are many physicians in this palace, so you can go, it's okay. ”

Yin Zishang pulled off his clothes and knelt on the ground: "Father can't, how can my son leave at this time, I ......"

"Alas, this king knows that you are filial, your child is a strong character, the last time the capital came to the decree, you did not make the trip because of this, Your Majesty is merciful, so I did not blame you. This time to protect the princess into Beijing, if you are lucky enough to see Your Majesty, you have to make a good compensation. ”

Last time, after all, it was a protest, in order to cover up, he and Yin Zishang failed to enter Beijing, although the prince kowtowed a lot, but who knows if the emperor will have a pimple in his heart?

Regardless of whether he has it or not, the pimple in Wang Ye's heart is very swollen anyway.

This time, Yin Zishang personally entered Beijing, no matter what, it could somewhat dispel the suspicion in the emperor's heart.

With the scheming in Wang Ye's heart, Yin Zishang understands it very well.

Yin Zishang kowtowed and said, "Erchen remember the teachings of his father. ”

Xue Jinian looked at the scene of father and son filial piety in front of him, put his hand on the table, and tapped his index finger lightly, leisurely and calmly, smiling.

Hua Qian looked at this and that, and always felt that the whole space was filled with a sense of "contentment" happiness.

What are they satisfying?

@@@

Hua shallow squatted in the yard and watched the fish swim around in the pond boredly.

Xue Qi stood loyally not far away, holding on to the handle of the knife with one hand, and standing under the corridor with a straight posture.

Hua Qian squatted by the pool for as long as he stood, and then he felt that this kind of person who could play with the fish for an afternoon didn't know how to grow his brain, and how unreliable he was to pretend to be a princess.

He couldn't understand how a man as shrewd as the Overseer could not see that the girl was a fool.

With such an important burden on her shoulders, why didn't he worry that she would pick her up and leave?

Once the East Window incident happens, he and Xue Jinian will die without a place to be buried!

It's just that now, he can't say anything, he closes his eyes, and there is nothing he can do but grit his teeth and decide that Hua Qian.

Hua Qian's mood is very complicated, she doesn't have Xue Qi's concerns, anyway, this princess's name was given to her by Xue Jinian, she is at most an accomplice, once the incident happens, she will not be able to carry the burden and continue to wander the world.

Originally, she was worried that the guards of the East Factory were almost dead, and the Jinyi Guard was gone, and this place was still far away from Beijing, so she was very worried about what to do next. Now that she has the guarantee of the Huai Wangfu, she is not worried at all.

She is still worried about the poison in her own body, but even her senior sister said that she can't solve it, so she can only try her luck in the palace.

Seriously, chatting with these emperors and nobles is tiring, looking at Xue Jinian's conversation with the people in Huaiwangfu yesterday, you know that after she entered the palace, she must have lived a life of hiding a knife in this kind of words.

It's tiring to think about.

But thinking about it in the other direction, if you can escape this time, you should be considered to have lived and died with Xue Jinian. In this way, after she entered the palace, he might be more or less scruples about affection.

It's not easy to get some affection from the commander of Dongchang, thinking about it, she became optimistic again, and when she thought of the ten thousand taels of gold, Hua Qian couldn't help laughing.

Xue Qimu had no emotion on his face, only the word "fool" overflowed lightly from between his teeth, and fell among the chrysanthemums all over the ground, and the wind passed without a trace.

The next day, the convoy was ready to go, Hua Qian was a princess, this time it was naturally not good to ride with Xue Jinian, the chariot prepared for her by Huai Wangfu was gorgeous and rich, and she sat very comfortably.

Yin Zishang sat on the high horse, heroic, and with an order, the convoy slowly started.

Hanasa yawned and began to fall drowsy.

Before, together with Xue Jinian, there was a chat partner, but now she is on her own, and she has no activity except sleeping.

Xue Qi was not far from her.

But now the people around her are strangers, even if she wants to chat with Xue Qi, she doesn't know what to say.

The convoy didn't know how long it had been going, and Hua Qian suddenly heard Xue Jinian's voice.

Soon, the curtain of her car was lifted, and Xue Jinian whispered softly to her, "Please princess get out of the car." ”

Bite? Arrived?

Hua Qian jumped out of the carriage in confusion, and saw that everyone around him was in twos and threes, thinking that it was time to rest.

"Princess, please come with me."

"Where?"

She looked at it, only Xue Qi was following behind them, and Yin Zishang was directing everyone to act, not paying attention to the departure of the three of them.

"Don't worry, I've already said hello to the second son."

After walking with Xue Jinian for a while, Hua Qian saw a tombstone.

"What is this?"

"The resting place of the ancestors and grandchildren of the Eight Winds."

Hua Qian's heart twitched, and her eyes flashed the dead child.

"I'm going to have them take them here, and when I leave, I think you'll want to meet them."

Xue Jinian was right, this pair of ancestors and grandchildren who died miserably once made her hate Xue Jinian, she always thought that they would expose their bodies in that simple thatched hut, and no one would restrain them.

Now it seems that Xue Jinian is not completely bad.

She didn't ask what happened to the factory guard that day, and she never saw him again.

Even if he was safe and sound now, she couldn't expect Xue Jinian to really kill his subordinates for the sake of these two dead civilians.

Although it was said that it was two lives, it was indeed not Xue Jinian's order at that time, there was a debtor and a debtor, even if Hua Qian was dissatisfied in his heart, he couldn't blame Xue Jinian.

Let alone...... Hua Qian touched her neck, and to be honest, she didn't dare to be dissatisfied.

"I heard that there is another daughter in this family, and the Governor has sent someone to send apologies to their family, hoping that their spirits in heaven can rest in peace."

Hua Qian didn't know if the grandchildren could rest in peace, but she knew that her heart was much better now.

Since Xue Jinian is willing to make amends, it is actually not bad. Hua Qian is not a naΓ―ve person who doesn't understand anything, in today's society, powerful people, killing a few lives is as simple as stepping on a few ants.

She also understood that Xue Jinian was just looking at her face, after all, after they returned to the palace, they had to support each other, and he probably didn't want to leave a bad impression in her heart.

"Thank you, Duke."

Xue Jinian looked at her with heavy eyes and snorted.

Hua Qian bowed seriously in front of the grave, and the two left together.
