Xie Fenghua had no intention of snooping on other people's private affairs, but at this moment, his curiosity was aroused, so he also asked tentatively: "Can you tell me what is going on?" ”

"Naturally, you can." Sun Hengbo moved to the left side of the hall door, and then sighed, "Sister Wanrong's mother is a good sister of Mrs. Wuwei Hou. Later, her family fell into the middle of the road, her parents died, and she was taken to Tianjing by Mrs. Wuwei Hou. Speaking of which, she can be regarded as the daughter of the Hou Mansion. ”

Xie Fenghua remembered that when he saw Lu Wanrong just now, the temperament revealed by Zhou Zhou was neither humble nor arrogant, and he sighed with emotion in his heart.

It's not a good situation to send people under the fence. It is not easy for that woman to maintain that rare style and gentleness.

Sun Hengbo was immersed in his thoughts and continued: "Sister Wanrong is two years older, and the three of us have been playing and frolicking together since we were children, which is also the happiest thing when we were young. Later, as I grew older, Sister Wanrong reached the age of discussing relatives, and it was from that time that I realized Jiang Yu's thoughts about Sister Wanrong. ”

She will always remember Jiang Yu's actions when she heard that Mrs. Wuwei Hou was going to give Lu Wanrong a kiss.

Originally, they were still boating and playing in the middle of the lake, but after hearing the news, he couldn't wait for the boat to row to the opposite shore, so he jumped into the lake and swam back regardless of it.

It can be said that she witnessed the three four, five, six and seven years that Jiang Yu followed Lu Wanrong, and also witnessed the last three four, five, six and seven eight days when Jiang Yu was embarrassed and compromised but ultimately fruitless.

And since Lu Wanrong got married, Jiang Yu put away all his thoughts, on the surface, the past seems to have been turned over. But what the truth is, maybe only he knows.

She exhaled slowly, and the mist condensed in front of her, and suddenly blurred her vision.

After a while, she sighed: "Young lady, you say, why is this relationship so hurtful? Isn't it true that the heavens all have adult beauty? Why don't you want to be angry with this crazy man and woman in the world? ”

Xie Fenghua couldn't answer.

Whether it is in her past life or in this life, her emotional experience is not rich.

Now that I think about it, that infatuation with Zhao Pei that ended up without a problem is like a dream. In my memory, the mood of watching people get married at the Snow Day Station has long been unable to remember.

She has Yuan Minzhou.

Thinking of this, her mood also improved, and said, "Then what are you going to do next?" Since Jiang Yu's heart belongs, it is already inappropriate to marry you again. You ......"

Sun Hengbo seemed to have made up his mind, and his expression showed a touch of fortitude and firmness, "Originally, I thought it was not impossible to live the second half of my life." But now, I want to fight for it! Young lady, do you think I did the right thing? ”

In the final analysis, Sun Hengbo is just a young lady who doesn't go out of the door.

In the past ten years, it can be described as smooth sailing. Suddenly making such a rebellious decision, I still feel uneasy in my heart.

Seeing that she wanted to seek affirmation from herself, Xie Fenghua did not perfunctory at will, but said solemnly: "Hengbo, you should know that once you make this decision, what you will face in the future is very likely to be opposition and obstruction from your relatives. You, think twice! ”

Sun Hengbo's face turned pale, and he bit his lower lip tightly, but he still did not change the firmness in his eyes.

Seeing this, Xie Fenghua didn't say anything more, and walked into the hall with her.

As soon as I sat down, I heard the palace people outside the palace singing loudly: "The emperor has arrived-the queen has arrived-"

After a small crackling sound, the emperor and queen entered their seats.

Strictly speaking, there are not a few concubines in the harem, but there seem to be few people who can be recognized by the emperor and queen. In the past, in order to look good, Zhao Pei would also let some concubines participate in the palace banquet.

But this time, everyone sensed that something was wrong.

Xie Fenghua swept the scene in the hall with sharp eyes, and especially stopped on the people in the Beiheng Palace, and there was a number in his heart.

Just thinking about it, she suddenly felt that a line of sight fell on her body, she raised her eyes, but saw Du Pingfei looking at her with burning eyes, exquisite makeup, a decent smile, and when she met her gaze, she also deliberately signaled the direction of Concubine Tang Xian.

She was a little confused, and quickly looked away.

In the Frost Cloud Palace, the sound of singing and dancing silk and bamboo soon sounded, the waist and water sleeves, and the fragrance hit people, attracting everyone to watch with great interest.

Xie Fenghua had something on his mind, but he didn't notice the lively scene in the scene.

She had a hunch that something might happen at this palace banquet today. You can't escape horizontally and vertically, so it's better to wait!

The palace banquet is boring and boring, and in the end it goes on slowly.

When the wine was half-drunk, the eunuch guarding outside the palace suddenly ran in to report, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess and the second prince of the Northern Netherworld ask to see you outside the palace." ”

As soon as these words came out, most of the people in the temple were about to wake up.

Mrs. Yuan looked outside the door of the palace, it was dark and she couldn't see anything. She was suspicious in her heart, and couldn't help but ask Xie Fenghua, "This princess and prince of the Northern Netherworld is still staying in Tianjing?" ”

Recently, there have been too many things going on in the Hou Mansion, and she has been so busy that she has no intention of paying attention to other things.

I thought that after the Northern Underworld negotiated peace with the Liang Dynasty, the envoys would have already returned. Unexpectedly, these people were still calmly staying in the Tianjing Embassy.

Xie Fenghua pursed his lips, and said after a while: "After the year, I guess I will go back, right?" ”

She had always known about the detention of the two people in Tianjing. It's not that I didn't have doubts in my heart. But even Zhao Pei didn't say anything about it, and she didn't take it to heart.

It stands to reason that at this palace banquet, the sisters and brothers, as guests of the Liang Dynasty, should also be invited, why did they suddenly appear in front of everyone now?

Was it intentional, or was it delayed by something?

She raised her eyes to look at Zhao Pei, but unexpectedly bumped into Du Pingfei's sight, and the information revealed in her bright eyes made her heart tighten, and she couldn't help but pay a few more eyes.

At this time, Tomorrow Xiang and Ming Ming Xu had already walked in, and after saluting the emperor and queen, they entered the banquet under the guidance of the palace people.

Du Ping flew to the direction where Xie Fenghua was, glanced at it, and suddenly said: "Earlier, the eldest princess also told the palace that she couldn't enter the palace for a banquet if she had something. Are you done now? ”

Tomorrow Xiang hooked his lips and smiled: "What?" Isn't the Queen Lady welcome? ”

"How could it be?" Du Pingfei smiled gently, "Speaking of which, the eldest princess is a guest of this dynasty. This palace is also afraid that it will not take good care of it, so it will ask this question. ”

Tomorrow Xiang Leng snorted and ignored her no more.

The hall soon returned to its previous liveliness.

Xu was to welcome the arrival of these two people, and Zhao Pei's interest was also high, and he was talking with Mingxu, so unhappy.

In contrast, the women's seats were quieter.

Tomorrow Xiang didn't feel embarrassed, glanced at Xie Fenghua, who was drinking silently, and suddenly said: "I heard that the queen mother is also a good day these days, but she doesn't want to, and she still wants to take care of the palace, which is really flattering!" ”

The open and secret battle between Du Pingfei and Tang Xianfei has long been no secret.

But she made it clear in front of so many people, it looked like she was going to slap Du Pingfei in the face.

Du Pingfei's face froze, but he quickly returned to normal, and said in a slightly cold tone: "This palace is in charge of all things in the harem, so naturally it is not as free as the eldest princess." ”

"So, this palace doesn't expect the queen to take care of anything!" Tomorrow Xiang glanced at the direction where Xie Fenghua was out of the corner of his eyes, and said with a smile, "What's more, if there is really something, this palace will not be reckless." Although you can't turn to the queen for help, you can ask Mrs. Yuan for help. Mrs. Yuan, don't you say? ”

Xie Fenghua had been drinking well, but he was so named by her, and he was very impatient.

But she didn't show anything on her face, and only said, "That's not it." Princess, I'm busy! I'm afraid I don't have time to help you! ”

These words can be described as unceremonious.

Many people have already speculated about the relationship between these people.

Tomorrow Xiang didn't expect her to be so uninteresting, and she forgot her scruples for a while, and said-for-tat: "That's too!" I heard that the Marquis of Dingyuan committed a crime, and now the Hou Mansion is in charge of the young lady Yuan! is worthy of being a heroine among women! Be busy, and you should be! ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent.

Both men and women in the hall stopped talking and moving, and looked at Tomorrow Xiang in disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost.

What happened in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was well known to everyone present.

Some people who didn't deal with the Marquis of Dingyuan were hoping that Yuan Minzhou would be unlucky at first, but after waiting for the emperor's further will, they suddenly realized that something was wrong.

What an important crime is treason, and why is there no follow-up?

Those who were originally gloating about the schadenfreude put away their other thoughts when they spied on the conspiracy that might be hidden behind it.

But at this moment, the eldest princess of the Northern Netherworld said it in public, which was tantamount to a great embarrassment for the people of the Yuanhou Mansion.

For a while, countless eyes looked at Yuan Minzhou in unison, as if they were all waiting for his reaction.

However, Yuan Minzhou still thought to himself, and didn't seem to notice the abnormality at this moment.

Xie Fenghua grabbed Mrs. Yuan, who wanted to defend herself, in time, and looked at the provocative gaze of Shang Mingxiang without fear, and said with a smile: "Eldest princess, it seems that your ears are not very good......"

Her response, as always, was as simple and brutal as ever.

Those who know her well should be able to see at this moment that she is already angry.

But Ming Ming Xiang didn't have much contact with her, thinking that these words had hit her sore spot, and she became proud for a while, "Young Lady Yuan, this palace just told the truth, why are you angry?" ”

Xie Fenghua stood up and was about to walk out of his seat, but he noticed that Zhao Pei's gaze fell directly on him. She met the gaze, and before she could come up with a deep meaning, she heard Zhao Pei suddenly say: "Xie Yinghua takes the order!" ”

This sentence came very abruptly!

Xie Fenghua was stunned, but quickly reacted, and walked to the center of the main hall with a turn of footsteps, kneeling on one knee, waiting for the will.

Gonggong Lu had already made preparations, walked out with the Ming and Huang Holy Decrees, and read aloud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Xie Yinghua, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, is worried about the country and the people, and has made great achievements, so he is specially appointed as the commander of Dingbei, and goes to the northwest border to deal with border turmoil!" ”

"Weichen takes the order!" Xie Fenghua took the holy decree, and his voice was as clear as the moon!

Zhao Pei glanced at the expressions of everyone in the hall, then looked at Yuan Minzhou, and asked with a smile: "Marquis Dingyuan, have you rested enough these days?" ”

Yuan Minzhou smiled, something flashed in his eyes, and replied: "The emperor said enough, then it is enough." ”

"It seems like I'm dictatorial and authoritarian." As if he didn't notice the strange atmosphere in the hall, Zhao Pei had a bit of majesty on his face, and said slowly, "Since you have rested enough, let's return to the court!" ”

"Your Majesty—"

The first to react was King Beiheng, but when he saw him rushing out, he disagreed: "Your Majesty, what Marquis Dingyuan committed before was a big crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason!" How can it be said that forgiveness is forgiveness! How can it be such a child's play? ”

Zhao Pei was about to say something, but was interrupted by Xie Fenghua's mouth, "King Beiheng's words are wrong. The crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason is really unfounded. The emperor's pardon shows that the emperor is sacred! Do you still want to question the emperor's will? ”

King Beiheng immediately refuted her, "Young Lady Yuan......"

"Please call me the commander of the Great Empire!" Xie Fenghua said righteously, "Lord Wang, now standing on top of this hall, there is no Young Lady Yuan, but the emperor himself as the commander of Dingbei. ”

King Beiheng's face was dark, and he gritted his teeth and said: "In this case, this king wants to ask Commander Xie why this crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason has become nothing?" ”

"It's not nothing, but what about the evidence?" Xie Fenghua is neither humble nor arrogant.

King Beiheng was choked for a moment, and suddenly said to Zhao Pei: "Your Majesty, as far as the ministers know, the Marquis of Dingyuan has indeed secretly discussed with the Zhenguo Gong of the Northern Underworld, if they have no deal, I am afraid it will not be enough to convince the public." ”

Xie Fenghua sneered: "King Beiheng, don't take you to slander people like this. If you don't have evidence, forget it, can you just say a few words casually, and you will become a collaborator and treason? ”

She pointed to Tianxiang and Mingxu, and sneered: "Then if you want to say that, anyone who has spoken to people from other countries will not be able to escape this crime." The people in this hall are all rebellious ministers and thieves! ”

King Beiheng wanted to say more, but was stopped by Zhao Pei in a cold voice, "I remember that I once asked King Beiheng to investigate more in-depth information, but as a result, so much time has passed, and you haven't given me an answer......

The alarm bell in the heart of King Beiheng was loud, and he complained again and again.

At the beginning, he presented the matter to the emperor, and Yuan Minzhou was detained as soon as possible.

thought that he could get his wish, but Zhao Pei gave him a task - he must find evidence within half a month to confirm the crime of Yuanhou, otherwise he will hand over all the Yunzhou garrison!

There was such a big crime in front of him, and Zhao Pei had never met the people of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion alone in the past half a month, which made him think that he had the chance to win.

But he didn't expect that Yuan Minzhou was so cunning that he couldn't find any evidence!

Until this moment, facing Zhao Pei's cold eyes, he seemed to have an understanding!

- Isn't it, falling into the emperor's trap?

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt, he suddenly felt a chill in his back, looked at Zhao Pei in disbelief, his lips trembled, and asked, "Then the emperor, this matter is over like this?" ”

Just let Dingyuan Marquis go?

"As the commander of Dingbei said, since it is something out of nothing, what do you want?" Zhao Pei said calmly.

King Beiheng covered his heart with one hand, and seemed to have forgotten his identity, pointing at him on the spot, his face was extremely ugly.

This person, obviously promised him not long ago that he would definitely punish Yuanhou severely.

How long has it been......

It's a shame that he can't even refute anything.

It was just a "secret" between the two of them, and he really didn't find any evidence, and if he did, he would be in an extremely difficult situation.

He couldn't do that!

"Does the King of Beiheng have objections to my will?" Zhao Pei propped his elbows on the table, and his tone was cool and authentic.

King Beiheng suddenly came back to his senses, remembered the past, secretly hated himself for being too gullible to the emperor, and said with a stiff face: "The emperor forgives the sin." The minister was reckless for a while, and did not question the emperor. ”

Zhao Pei hurriedly waved his hand, "In that case, then go back." ”

"Yes." King Beiheng slowly turned around, passed by Xie Fenghua, glanced at her with murderous aura, and then returned to his position.

Xie Fenghua glanced at the holy decree in his hand and slowly walked back.

It's just that as soon as I sat down, I heard Concubine Tang Xian laugh from the side: "Young Mrs. Yuan is really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows!" In just over half a year, he has become a young and promising commander of our dynasty, and he really has the demeanor of Marshal Xie! The palace is here, congratulations to Mrs. Yuan on her bright future and triumphant as soon as possible! ”

As she spoke, she raised her glass and drank it herself.

Xie Fenghua hurriedly saluted her, "Thank you, Concubine Xian." ”

When the sake entered her throat, she seemed to be a little bolder, and at this moment, remembering the words of Tomorrow Xiang, she couldn't help but pick up a pot of wine from the table and walked over.

Tomorrow Xiang wanted to humiliate her, but she didn't expect Zhao Pei to come out on the spot, and she had already guarded against her actions in her heart.

Seeing her coming over at this moment, she was even more on guard, "Young Mrs. Yuan, don't mess around!" ”

"What did the eldest princess say?" Xie Fenghua sat beside her, personally poured her a glass of wine, and said with a smile, "I just suddenly remembered that the eldest princess had a misunderstanding about me just now, didn't she hurry over and clarify it to you?" ”

The corners of Tomorrow Xiang's mouth twitched, and he moved his body, and said vigilantly: "What do you want to do?" ”

Xie Fenghua said: "The eldest princess seems to be disdainful of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion? ”

"You're thinking too much." Tomorrow Xiang snorted coldly, "This palace is just a guest, and the people and things of the Liang Dynasty have nothing to do with this palace." Not to mention dismissive? ”

Despite saying this, she already hated it in her heart.

In this hall, I am afraid that in addition to the King of Beiheng, the person who most wants to see the unlucky people of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is probably her.

When she thought of being so humiliated by the Marquis of Dingyuan and his wife when she was in Jincheng, she felt that there was a fire in her chest, and she wanted to burn the face of the person in front of her.

But she couldn't!

In Tianjing, she has more important things to do, and she must not disrupt her plans for this.

Thinking of this plan, her eyes unconsciously wandered around the crowd, landing on a certain figure above, and the corners of her lips began to hook up a grim smile.

Bear with me!

I'll get justice soon!

Thinking of this, she made up her mind a little, snatched Xie Fenghua's wine jug, only said a few perfunctory words, and actually poured herself a drink.

Xie Fenghua was quite surprised, his eyes turned around her a few times, but he couldn't find the reason why she had such a change. The seeds of doubt were also planted in his heart, and he secretly thought that Changying's task was estimated to be a few points heavier!

By the time the banquet ended, it was getting late.

Many ministers' families braved the cold and went out of the palace to return home. And when they passed by with the people of the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, they all changed their indifference before the palace banquet and took the initiative to talk to them.

It's a pity that Mrs. Yuan is not in good spirits, and Xie Fenghua is too lazy to take care of them, so they are also bored, so they can only walk over stupidly.

"You say, what will happen if the emperor suddenly summons him?" Mrs. Yuan asked suddenly.

Maybe even she didn't realize it, asking this question was actually an affirmation of Xie Fenghua's ability.

Xie Fenghua's eyes flashed slightly, and he comforted: "Mother don't worry, it'll be fine." Haven't the hardest times all passed? ”

Actually, in retrospect, she didn't seem to be that difficult.

Although they were charged with the heinous crime of "collaborating with the enemy and treason" before, the people in their house did not lose their proportions. Overall, it's not too bad!

Mrs. Yuan relieved her heart and sighed: "I'm old, and I can't accept these things very well. In the future, it will be up to you. ”

Xie Fenghua hurriedly said, "Mother, don't think too much. With me and Master Hou in everything, it will be fine. On the contrary, these days have made you suffer......"

"No, no, no......" Mrs. Yuan patted her hand, opened her mouth several times to speak, and stopped, but finally turned into a sigh, as if helpless, and relieved.

Xie Fenghua didn't ask, but quietly accompanied her and walked outside the palace.

After Yuan Minzhou was summoned to the imperial study, he already had too many doubts in his heart, but because of Zhao Pei's identity, he couldn't ask first.

Zhao Pei didn't seem to see his entanglement, and said to himself: "Zhen Guogong's side, has it been negotiated?" ”

"Back to the emperor, it's already done." Yuan Min Zhou Road.

Zhao Pei smiled and said, "Are you wondering, why did I treat you like that?" ”

Yuan Minzhou thought for a while and said, "Please also ask the emperor to make it clear." ”

Zhao Pei got up from behind the table, walked up to him, and said word by word: "I made a bet with King Beiheng. As soon as he finds evidence of your collaboration with the enemy and treason, I will lose, and I will promise him one thing. And once he can't find it, it will be me who has won, and all the horses in Yunzhou will be handed over! ”

I've never heard of this bet!

Yuan Minzhou was surprised in his heart, and quickly figured out the ins and outs. It's just that he still has some difficulty letting go of it in his heart.

This bet is on him and even the reputation of the Marquis of Dingyuan!

Zhao Pei didn't see his abnormality, but asked, "Do you know what I promised him to make him so unhesitating, and he didn't even think deeply about the details?" ”

"What?" Yuan Minzhou couldn't help but ask.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Pei suddenly stretched out his arms and laughed: "I promise him, a position of the future prince!" ”

Yuan Minzhou's whole body was shocked, and he looked at him in disbelief: "Concubine Tang Xian...... Pregnant? ”

In this case, it should not have been said by one of his ministers, but Zhao Pei didn't have the heart to care, and asked instead of answering: "Do you think this question is still meaningful?" ”

Yuan Minzhou cautiously suggested, "Your Majesty, please think twice!" The matter of the emperor's heir must not be a child's play! ”
