Qi Jia hurriedly rushed into the study of Dawn Garden, snatched the history book from Si Kouxi's hand, and hurriedly said: "Hey, I said my young lady, why are you still so calm, Yan Yi sent news that the emperor wants to marry you." Why are you still sitting here? ”

Si Kouxi raised his eyebrows and glanced at Qi Jia and said, "You are becoming more and more accustomed to the identity of the servant girl of Si Kou's Mansion, look at this hurried and panicked look, you look like a loyal servant." With that, with an uncontrollable smile on his face, he reached for another book. Her hand was about to reach over, but Qi Jia's hand pressed on the stack of books one step ahead of her.

With an angry look, he said in a tone of hatred: "Miss, that's your life's event, how can it be decided by an emperor, besides, what the emperor did today will be known to everyone sooner or later, and then things will not be out of our control." ”

Si Kouxi was happy to have a friend who considered himself so much, put away his playful expression, and comforted Qi Jia: "I have asked Qi Shu to pass on the news to Yan Yi and Yan Qi, and let them spread some scandals about me, everyone and the prince will definitely not move the idea of marrying me when they hear these rumors, then everything will not be a problem." ”

Qi Jia said worriedly: "However, Miss's reputation is ······"

Si Kouxi waved his hand and said, "Don't forget our purpose, as long as we can complete our business, there are many things that don't matter. ”

Today's emperor's actions really stirred up a wave in the court, and there were suddenly many more guests in Si Kou's mansion, which made Si Kou's family busy coping. Around the emperor, whenever the child reached the age of the concubine, he always mentioned this matter by the emperor's side. Overnight, the name Si Kouxi became a hot topic in the Kyoto court. thought that the topic about Si Kouxi would fade away over time, but the rumors pushed the topic of Si Kouxi to another level.

Kyoto rumor: Si Kouxi's accompanying woman died in a fire, Si Kouxi burned her skin, and people who had gone to the temple to pray said that she had been wearing a veil for many years and never wore revealing clothes, which showed that the burns were serious. And she is cold by nature and never speaks to anyone, maybe she is a mute.

For a while, there were fewer people proposing to Si Kou's Mansion, but the scandal about Si Kouxi became more and more popular. In addition, anyone from the Wusi Mansion came out to clarify, and all the rumors seemed to be getting more and more true. In fact, the people of Si Kou's family were very angry when they heard about these scandals and wanted to clarify, but they were all stopped by Si Kouxi, who explained various reasons to them, and Si Kouxi's family expressed their support for Si Kouxi's approach. This is already a helpless move to keep Si Kouxi's marriage freedom.

King Jing's Mansion

Yinyue stood aside and watched the sixth prince study the formation diagram, and was fascinated by it, when she suddenly heard the prince say: "This bureau, what do you think?" ”

Yinyue said admiringly: "In the entire dynasty, the formation of the six princes is definitely the most exquisite. ”

Lan Jin shook the flag in his hand and said, "Then what do you think of Si Kouxi's bureau?" ”

Yinyue was obviously stunned by Lan Jin's question, and didn't react, Lan Jin glanced sideways at Yinyue, and let out a snort: Huh? Yinyue suddenly said, "Oh! I ······ I think it's okay. ”

Lan Jing put his attention back to the sand table and said, "Then you talk about what's good and what's bad, so that you can come to a conclusion that it's okay." ”

Yinyue thought about it and said, "It's good that they used the scandal to keep Miss Si Kou's freedom of marriage, and it also allowed the Si Kou family not to change their neutral position. As for the bad thing, this kind of practice can completely ruin a girl's reputation, this Miss Si Kou and the Si Kou family can really bear it. However, it can also be seen that this Miss Si Kou is a forbearant person, and it is good to put it on other young ladies without crying, making trouble, and hanging herself, how can Miss Si Kou be so calm. ”

Lan Jin planted the last flag and said, "There is a rise." However, the approach of the Si Kou family is indeed intriguing. By the way, have you found out the source of the scandal of Kou Xi? ”

Yinyue said hesitantly, "It will take time. ”

This couldn't help but make Lan Jing a little annoyed, Jiu Chong Lou was already known for his efficiency, but today's performance inevitably disappointed him, and he frowned and said to Yinyue: "What obstacles have been encountered, the progress is so slow." ”

Yinyue lowered her head and said, "It's the Canglong Tower under the Bihai Palace that stops it, and there are other third floors to assist." This ······ It was difficult for us to start, ostensibly because it was rumored in the temple where we were praying for blessings that it was enough to deceive everyone, but we found that all this was fueled by the Bihai Palace. We have never had a grudge against Bihai Palace, but this time ······"

Lan Jing waved his hand and said: "Let the brothers stop making any more moves, we will never have a grudge against Bihai Palace, it seems that Bihai Palace has a lot to do with this Si Kou Xi, and it never involves the Bihai Palace of the court, but it is for her to stretch out her hand to the edge." ”

Lan Jing leaned back in her chair, playing with her wrench with one hand and tracing the pattern of a jade pendant around her waist with the other. The study fell silent, and the curling incense quietly dispersed.

Qi Shu, who successfully manipulated the scandal, quickly rushed back to Si Kou's mansion after completing the task. Changed into the maid's costume, pretended that nothing had happened, and walked to the study with tea

Qi Shu gently put down the things, and habitually sorted out the bookshelves for Si Kouxi, although he was the lord of Bihai Palace, Si Kouxi had a bad problem, that is, after reading the books, he would make a mess of the bookshelves. Qi Shu looked at his palace master practicing calligraphy and said: "Everything is arranged, it's just that the people of the Nine-Story Building are investigating this matter, Yan Yi and they have already blocked it, but when I came back, they came with news that the Nine-Story Building had stopped." ”

Si Kouxi was indeed surprised to hear that the Nine Buildings were interested in this matter, but fortunately, the Nine Buildings had already stopped, and she was not ready to take any measures against them, so she continued to write her dashing words and said: "As long as you can hide it from others, if this Nine Buildings is just suspicious of the recent actions of the Bihai Palace, you don't have to pay too much attention to it, I am afraid that it will serve someone in the royal family, it will not be good." Let Yan Yi be vigilant, and by the way, find out who the young master of this nine-story building is, and remember not to let the people there notice. ”

Qi Shu responded softly.
