89, mustard has always been there
Yan Ning frowned, and after thinking about it carefully, it was the same reason, so he could only say, "I hope you don't forget your responsibility as a princess of a country, if it is because of you who put Daqian in crisis...... I won't let you go. ”
Tang Xi smiled lightly, and said with a bit of laziness, "Third brother, don't worry, I remember it better than anyone else." ”
Perhaps the meaning of her words was too obvious, Qingshuang paused slightly, lowered her head and said, "Princess, we should also go." ”
Feng Lie and Fu Jinglan walked on the way back to the dormitory, the two of them were silent and didn't speak until they were about to arrive, Fu Jinglan couldn't help but open her mouth tentatively, "What happened just now...... What does the emperor think? ”
Feng Lie glanced at her, "What do you think?" Isn't it already settled? ”
Fu Jinglan bit her lip, "The concubine thinks...... The emperor seems to be a little partial to the princess. ”
Feng Lie was silent for a moment, and then retorted, "Concubine Ai thinks too much, I just talk about things, I have eyes and can see clearly, who framed whom, who in turn framed whom, I can see clearly, it's just that the king is defeated, since Li Linglong's skills are not as good as others, he deserves to suffer some hardships, I just gave the fairest decision from the perspective of a bystander." ”
Fu Jinglan was slightly stunned, and subconsciously said, "They are so presumptuous on your territory, isn't the emperor angry?" ”
"Huh...... What about being angry? It's better to find out the loopholes in the palace," he said with a mocking look in his eyes, "In my palace, one by one can deal with it freely, it's time to take care of it." ”
"Okay, I'm a little tired, you don't have to accompany me anymore, if you like to go back to the play, go back to the play, or go back to rest, just come back at dinner."
Fu Jinglan paused slightly, and then responded, "Yes, the concubine retired." ”
The corner of Feng Lie's eyes watched Fu Jinglan leave quietly, and stood in place for a while before he said lightly to Li Sheng, "I seem to be getting more and more tired of facing her. ”
Li Sheng was slightly surprised, "Your Majesty ......"
Feng Lie raised his hand to stop his next words, "Okay, let's go." ”
Fu Jinglan didn't wait until she was far enough away from Feng Lie that a trace of inexplicable emotion slowly appeared on her face, and she chuckled low for a while, "Tang Xi has the means...... " She could feel that Feng Lie's attitude towards Tang Xi had changed.
Everything went smoothly and calmly next, no one made any more moths, and after hearing enough of the play, they used the dinner again, and finally there was a part of setting off fireworks.
A large group of people stood outside the hall and watched the fireworks in the sky, Huo Jinyan walked to Tang Xi's side at some point, looked at Tang Xi's happy smile on his face, pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "This fireworks don't seem to be as grand as the last time you sent Lu Zheng." ”
Tang Xi paused slightly when he heard this, and tears suddenly flowed in his heart, didn't he have that grand time, but he took out all his net worth that time! Feng Lie, even if he is the emperor, is not so extravagant and wasteful!
But then I thought of Lu Zheng again, and my mood instantly became a little low, and I sniffed and said, "I don't know how Lu Zheng is." ”
Huo Jinyan raised his eyebrows, "You miss him very much?" ”
Tang Xi seemed to smell the sour smell in a trance...... Suddenly a little funny, "He was my friend, and he lied to him that time...... I've always felt a little guilty in my heart. ”
Hearing Tang Xi's explanation, Huo Jinyan felt a little surprised, originally thought that she would choke him like before, "It has nothing to do with you", but she didn't expect her to explain to him in a calm tone...... So he keenly noticed that her attitude seemed to have changed somewhat.
"Don't worry, although the battlefield is dangerous, it is also a good place for men to make achievements, although there is a reason to be stimulated by you this time, but it is also a decision he made after thinking about it for a long time, and when he comes back again, he will become a different Lu Zheng."
Tang Xi still had a faint melancholy in her heart, but she also knew that Huo Jinyan was right, she was not a god, and it was impossible to interfere with everyone's fate, rather than worrying about it here, it was better to bless her heartily, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Well, I believe him." ”
"That's right......" Tang Xi looked at Huo Jinyan, at this time the sky just exploded a firework, reflecting Huo Jinyan's face very clearly, and Tang Xi's eyes were also very bright, she smiled lightly, "Thank you today...... And before, all of it, thank you. ”
Huo Jinyan looked at these bright eyes, his heart moved, and some thoughts were about to move, but at this time, there were so many people, he couldn't do anything, so he forced himself to turn his head and stop looking at her, and said lightly, "What I want is not your thanks." ”
Tang Xi also raised his head to look at the sky, and said softly, "But what you want...... I can't afford it in my life. ”
The two of them had their own thoughts, and they didn't say anything more.
An emperor's birthday passed like this.
Although the birthday is over, but the princes of various countries are not in a hurry to go back, to say that the princes of these three vassal countries want to stay to communicate about state affairs and talk about the past, but Li Feng did not leave, and said that he wanted to stay and cultivate the feelings of the two countries with Feng Yuanguo......
Tang Xi felt that he was uneasy and kind! It was planted in her hands last time, and this time I must be thinking of revenge, don't look at him like a dog, but in my heart he is definitely a guy who has a bad stomach and will be revenged! Tang Xi felt that he had to be on guard, so it was definitely better not to go out unless there was a big event in the near future.
Anyway, although I almost got myself into it last time, I saved Yan Ning in the end...... cough, although Huo Jinyan made a big contribution, he didn't think he would come to fight for this credit, so Tang Xi found a chance to chat with Yan Ning once without Qingshuang and Bailu.
"Third brother, you said that I sacrificed my life to save me last time, should you also say something?" She gets straight to the point.
Yan Ning twitched the corners of her mouth and said quietly, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in such a big trouble, right?" ”
Tang Xi stopped doing it when he heard it, "Who said that?" That palace maid is clearly a person who is a strong wind, if I hadn't passed, he would have other ways to deal with you, but I'll go and block you from it, okay? ”
Yan Ning looked at her, "But if you hadn't offended Li Linglong everywhere, why would they be idle and have nothing to do with me?" ”
Tang Xi choked, and then said confidently, "That Li Linglong is also going to Feng Lie, he Beiyang is much more powerful than us, if we are all accepted by Feng Lie, then Li Linglong will definitely press me everywhere, so naturally Beiyang will not be allowed to succeed!" ”
Seeing Yan Ning's somewhat relaxed expression, she continued to say, "What's more, you also said that Li Feng used Jiang Zizhong to meet with the three of you, this news must have already reached Feng Lie's ears, Feng Lie may not know what to think about, maybe he is in the dark to observe whether our three countries have any connection with Beiyang, at this time I am working against Beiyang, isn't that exactly in line with Feng Lie's thoughts, so that he can feel at ease with our big business?" ”
Tang Xi really admired his three-inch incorruptible tongue, at least in front of Yan Ning, it was enough to fool people, Yan Ning thought for a while, and finally nodded honestly and innocently, "Even if what you say makes sense, I believe that you are all for the sake of Daqian." He sighed, "Say, what do you want?" ”
Tang Xi's face immediately burst into a big smile, "Hehe, third brother, in fact, I didn't want anything more, I just ...... Will you go back this time and bring Cheng Nan back too? ”
Yan Ning frowned, "Cheng Nan? Who is Cheng Nan? ”
...... "Okay, it was Tang Xi who ignored it, Cheng Nan was an inconspicuous little guard in their eyes, where could they remember the name?" But thinking about it this way, at least it proves that Cheng Nan is low-key and stable enough, well, he is worthy of a big responsibility.
"It's the little guard I came from your team on my way." Tang Xi explained, "I got along with him for a while, and found that this person is still a talent, I think that letting him stay in Fengyuan with me is really burying talents, it is better to go back to Daqian with you, give him a world to show his strength, maybe in the future, I will be able to add another tiger general!" ”
Yan Ning didn't expect Tang Xi's request to be so high-spirited, and couldn't help but wonder, "You don't want to take the opportunity to cultivate your own power, right?" What do you want? ”
Tang Xi rolled his eyes, "Get rid of it, I'm now in Fengyuan, what are I doing cultivating forces in Daqian?" What's more, if you want to cultivate power, you won't start with a small guard! When he grows up, he doesn't know the Year of the Monkey! I really just don't want to bury talents, isn't our Daqian border pass the market harassed by nomads? At that time, you can put the person over there and let him fend for himself, and the effort of his hands is already very insignificant compared to me saving you once, right? ”
Yan Ning still looked hesitant, "It's because it's so insignificant that I doubt it, how do you see that you are not a loser, right?" Spent a long time talking with me just for such a simple thing? ”
...... "So what image do I have in your mind?"
Tang Xi spread his hands angrily, "Anyway, that's the way it is, you just say you can't help it!" ”
Yan Ning looked at her and seemed to be really annoyed, thinking about it again, this matter was indeed insignificant to him, not to mention whether Cheng Nan would be able to grow up by then, and how long it would take for him to grow up, this was all unknown, why should he worry about it?
So he finally nodded cheerfully, "Okay then, I'll help you this time." ”
Tang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, "Then it's decided, let Cheng Nan go back with you when you want to leave." ”
After solving Cheng Nan's matter, a big stone in Tang Xi's heart also fell to the ground, she had done enough for Cheng Nan and Shangguan Yu, and it was enough to repay the two of them for taking her out of Beijing regardless of life and death, and the next thing was to depend on their own creation.
As the saying goes, people don't look for trouble, trouble will come to you, Tang Xi has lived a comfortable life at home for a few days, and trouble will come to the door.
Yan Ning frowned and said to her, "Jiang Zizhong sent another post today, inviting you and me to come over to talk about it." ”
As soon as he heard Jiang Zizhong's name, Tang Xi felt a headache, "This Jiang Zizhong doesn't know what kind of strength he is jumping up and down all day, it seems that if Feng Lie doesn't clean him up for a day, he will be uncomfortable for a day!" ”
"He also invited Li Feng and Li Linglong, what should we do? To go or not to go? ”
Hearing Li Feng's name, Tang Xi's eyes narrowed, "Go ahead, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves, and I don't know how long Li Feng will stay here, rather than avoiding everywhere like this, it is better to face it head-on." ”
And...... Jiang Zizhong is a-stirring stick, she has to find a way not to let him jump again, although the three vassal countries will stay for half a month at most and will go back, but she is angry when she sees him jumping up and down, and it is estimated that Feng Lie also looks down on him at this time, and when the time comes, Feng Lie will also turn a blind eye and push the boat.
After thinking about it, she said to Yan Ning, "If you reply to a post, you will say that we are always entertained by Jiang Zizhong, and it is quite uneasy to go, it is better to change us to be the east this time, the location......" She squinted her eyes, "It's set on the North Lake, boating on the lake, it's quite emotional, isn't it?" ”
Yan Ning didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Tang Xi's gourd, but looking at her squinting eyes, she also knew that she didn't think about anything good, and she was right, it was better to be active than passive, so he immediately replied to the other three people, and the date was set for the day after tomorrow.
Qi Yufeng had no opinion was expected, to Tang Xi's surprise, Jiang Zizhong and Li Feng did not object at all, and agreed to it, she touched her chin, it seems that Jiang Zizhong is completely mixed with Li Feng at this time, but I don't know if this is what he means Sheng Gu or what he means alone? However, she can't interfere in this kind of state affairs, and Feng Lie is not blind to such an obvious thing, she must already have a score, she just needs to scold Jiang Zizhong alone.
With a general idea in his heart, Tang Xi went out in a low-key manner and went all the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
I don't know what Huo Jinyan said to his subordinates, in short, Tang Xi was not hindered in any way, and was led all the way to the living room.
Looking at this familiar place and familiar people, Tang Xi still felt a little nostalgic for a while, and after sitting for a while, Huo Jinyan didn't wait, but waited until Yan Qing, Yan Qing looked at the familiar and strange person in front of him, and his heart was also mixed, "Miss Tang is good lately?" ”
Bai Lu frowned when she heard this, and said directly, "This is my princess, not a Tang girl." ”
Tang Xi waved his hand, "Bai Lu, it's okay, Yan Qing...... He who has believed. Her identity can be hidden from others, but these familiar people in the Prime Minister's Mansion can't be hidden, she didn't want to hide it, thinking about it, she said to Bai Lu again, "Bai Lu, you go out and wait first, I'll talk to Manager Yan." ”
Bai Lu is used to Tang Xi's behavior from time to time, but the emperor said that these little things are okay, just keep an eye on the big things, in other words, as long as Tang Xi is still approaching Feng Lie as planned, she wants to do something else, and the emperor is too lazy to take care of it.
So Bai Lu didn't resist at all, and went out after blessing his body.
Only Tang Xi and Yan Qing were left in the living room, and Tang Xi smiled, "Manager Yan, don't come unharmed." ”
Yan Qing smiled gently, "I'm okay, but I didn't expect Miss Tang to come back and completely change her identity." ”
Regarding whether Yan Qing's words were sarcastic or just reminiscing, Tang Xi was noncommittal, and asked lightly, "What about Huo Jinyan?" ”
Yan Qing froze slightly, "Miss Tang, the momentum of the superior has been fully trained. After speaking, he said, "I just came to tell Miss Tang that the adult had gone out before, but the adult instructed that if the girl came over, she didn't have to stop her, just send someone to find him, and it won't take long for the adult to come back, and I have to ask Miss Tang to wait a little longer." ”
Yan Qing is a Tang girl, Tang Xi can't ignore it anymore, not to mention that Huo Jinyan is not at home, she doesn't know how long she has to face Yan Qing, just pretending to be stupid is tired enough, so she chuckled, "Steward Yan seems to have a deep complaint against me." ”
Yan Qing paused, and the gentle smile on his face seemed to be accepted a little, "Don't dare, Miss Tang is now the princess of Daqian, how can I have a casual complaint with my status?" ”
Tang Xi took a sip of tea, "Didn't Steward Yan come here just to say something?" It's not like you anymore. ”
The smile on Yan Qing's face was completely gone, he was silent for a while, and finally spoke, "I'm just suddenly not sure whether to say it or not." A hint of mockery crossed his face, "Those of us who are subordinates have always been indignant for our adults, but our adults have never complained...... Especially when I saw Miss Tang again today, the girl's face was indifferent and her appearance was high, which made me hesitate a little...... Those words, whether to say them or not to say them, may no longer have any meaning? ”
Tang Xi didn't speak, nor did he glance at Steward Yan, just lowered his eyes and looked at the floor under his feet, "Indignant? Is it because I have changed my status to the top? Or is it because I used to run after Huo Jinyan, but now that Huo Jinyan is chasing me, do you think it's unfair? ”
Her voice was obviously very soft, but Yan Qing's tone was obviously even more angry, "Shouldn't the girl be sorry for fleeing the capital by cheating her death?" ”
Tang Xi pursed his lips, "If I'm not mistaken, I've left enough clues to tell Huo Jinyan that I'm not dead...... If this matter is really said, I should be more sorry for Lu Zheng, right? Marquis An Yuan hasn't come to accuse me like this, where did Steward Yan get such a big grievance? ”
Yan Qing laughed angrily at her, "That's what you think?" Scold...... When you knew that your house was on fire and you were in it, you almost rushed into the flames! If it weren't for Eichi knocking people unconscious in time, adults don't know if they would be tormented by you standing here so intact! ”
Tang Xi's hand holding the teacup shook slightly, it turned out to be ...... Will Tang Xi's death also touch him so much? Still is...... It's just that the sea of fire stimulated him and made him impulsive when he recalled Feng Xi's death?
Tang Xi also knew that it was quite boring to compete with herself like this, but as soon as she remembered herself, who had lost all her halo, and carefully liked Huo Jinyan's self, she had been ignored by him, and she was ruthlessly pushed to Lu Zheng by him, and there was always a pimple in her heart that she couldn't let go, even if Huo Jinyan, who later knew the truth, was so affectionate to herself, but the ruthless him at the beginning was still deeply imprinted in her mind.
She didn't know if she and Feng Xi were still alone? She has no way to see Huo Jinyan's love for Feng Xi as her love for herself now, in other words, she can't treat Tang Xi and Feng Xi as one person, even if ...... They have the same soul.
Yan Qing's words continued, "I have never seen an adult look so out of shape, although the person is still alive, but the body is lifeless, as if dead!" Until he finds the flaw you left behind...... It wasn't until he was convinced that you weren't dead that the dead energy in him gradually dissipated. ”
He sneered, "And you, don't you actually have the slightest sense of guilt for causing all this?" Do you know how sad your departure has been? I often see him go to your room and sit for a long time, who is he missing, don't you know? ”
Tang Xi raised his head suddenly, "Enough!" Yan Qing, it's not that you don't know who the person in your family's heart is! Even if others don't know, you, the personal butler, must know who the person enshrined under the cabin in his yard is! ”
Yan Qing paused and pursed his lips, "But she's dead...... Don't we adults have the qualifications to like others anymore? Tang Xi, everyone can see how special adults are to you, but now you are going to use a dead man as a shield? ”
"Heh......" Tang Xi tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Special?" Recalling the lie she had told Huo Jin that she was Feng Xi's sister in the past, she muttered, "It's just a little special." "No one knows better than she where those special ones come from.
"Yan Qing, since you can see that Huo Jinyan is special to me, you must also be able to see my feelings for him at the beginning, right? But you also saw how he pushed me to Lu Zheng, in this case, I just took back that feeling, so what's the point? She looked at Yan Qing with a faint face, "There is no such domineering reason in this world, right?" Don't like me, but do I have to like him all the time? ”
Yan Qing looked at her with a complicated expression, "...... Now that you know who the adult used to live in his heart, then you should also know how many years that person lived in his heart, and not long after she died, he suddenly fell in love with someone else...... Do you think adults can easily accept it? However, I don't dare to face my own heart. ”
"The adult must be back soon, I will say all about it today, if Miss Tang still has a trace of pity for the adult, you might as well think about what I said before." Yan Qing arched his hand and turned to leave.
Tang Xi was the only one left in the living room, and Tang Xi sat there alone, looking a little cold and lonely.
Don't you dare to face it...... Did he really have a little love for Tang Xi?
Once she thought about it when she was in Daqian, forget it, confess her identity to Huo Jinyan, and then be happy together, isn't it? Later, because of the poison in her body, she said to herself, forget it, it is impossible for her and Huo Jinyan.
Every time it seems that because of one reason or another, she ignores the little mustard in her heart, and it wasn't until today's words that Yan Qing finally made her understand that the original ...... Mustard has always been there, and has never completely forgotten it.
