69. If it is fake, it will be replaced
Almost as soon as she shouted her words, an officer and soldier ran towards her viciously, and she was in a hurry, and shouted even more recklessly, "Master Huiqing! Ask to see you! ”
The people next to her looked at her like they were looking at a madman, of course, Tang Xi would do this completely because she didn't know how important Master Huiqing's teachings were to Daqian, and she never dared anyone to mess around on the spot, because if she made trouble and was arrested, she would even be killed if she was serious, of course, this kind of bloody thing had nothing to do with Master Huiqing, mainly because the imperial court paid too much attention to it to be so strict.
So Tang Xi's move was instantly locked by the officers and soldiers, and when she just shouted the second time, the officers and soldiers had already detained her, "Where did the madman come from who doesn't know whether to live or die?" Gagged her and took her away! ”
Tang Xi struggled inexplicably, "What did I do?" Why are you arresting me? ”
However, no one would explain to her, and several officers and soldiers neatly gagged her mouth and dragged her back, but at this time, Master Huiqing suddenly said, "Wait." ”
As soon as Master Huiqing spoke, everyone's eyes immediately focused on the past, Tang Xi also looked into the distance, Master Huiqing was looking at this side from afar, and seeing that everyone had looked over, he said lightly, "This little benefactor has a fate with me, and come with me." ”
Then everyone's eyes turned to surprise and admiration, and even the soldiers suddenly let go of her.
Others don't understand, why can she have a relationship with Master Huiqing? However, she herself understands that this is because of the rue wood, maybe he is also waiting for her?
Under the gaze of everyone, Tang Xi straightened out the clothes that had been messed up by the officers and soldiers, took a deep breath and walked towards Master Huiqing.
Master Huiqing was a kind old man, and he looked at Tang Xi walking towards him with a faint smile on his face, "Little benefactor, come with me." ”
The two finally returned to the courtyard where Zhiming lived last time, thinking that this was the place where the monks of Fahua Temple stayed when they came to Yanjing, Tang Xi looked around for a week, and did not see Zhiming's shadow, maybe he had already gone back, so he didn't bother anymore, and followed Master Huiqing to a tea room.
Master Huiqing didn't speak, only skillfully boiled the tea, until the tea was fragrant, he poured a cup for Tang Xi, and then said, "Presumably the little donor is Zhiming's destined person." ”
Tang Xi picked up the teacup and took a sip with some apprehension, then nodded.
Master Huiqing smiled slightly, "The reason for this matter, Zhiming should have already explained it to you, so what is the intention of the little benefactor this time?" ”
Tang Xi pursed his lips and slowly put down the teacup, "I'm here to ask the master to solve his doubts." ”
"Oh?" Master Huiqing raised his hand and added a cup of tea for her, and said lightly, "Because of that piece of rue wood, you are also fated with the poor monk, if you can solve your doubts, it is also a blessing, the donor might as well say it directly." ”
Tang Xi took a sip of tea, calmed his mood a lot, and then said in a low voice, "Master, I just want to ask, in my case, should I completely separate the past life from the present life, or should I continue to remember the memories of the previous life and entangle with those who can't forget?" ”
Master Huiqing was obviously not surprised by her question, he smiled slightly, "As long as there are things that are remembered, no one can easily forget, rather than forcing yourself, it is better to follow your heart, if you really can't forget those things that can't be forgotten, then you might as well continue to remember, even if you change your identity, you are still you." ”
"Do you follow your heart...... Tang Xi's hand subconsciously touched her chest, her heart was still beating violently, yes, she was still her, although she changed her identity and appearance, but her heart has never changed.
"Thank you, Master, I see." Tang Xi bowed to him, hesitated for a moment, and then said the biggest problem in his heart, "Master, I have a problem in front of me at the moment, and I don't know how to choose...... If I help my friend, I will lose my freedom, and I will have to do something that is completely unacceptable to my heart, but if I don't help...... My friend is about to be separated from his beloved, and he will be miserable for the rest of his life, Master, in this case, should I be selfish or selfless? ”
"Little donor, this kind of thing is naturally you, in fact, you don't have to ask anymore, from the moment you ask this question, in fact, you already have the answer in your heart, isn't it?"
Tang Xi was dumbfounded, and after a long time, she smiled softly, with a hint of bitterness in her smile, "Yes...... Actually, I already have the answer. ”
Huiqing smiled, "Actually, it's better to ask yourself about your own affairs than to ask others, sometimes it's just that people don't want to see their hearts clearly, and they don't want to admit their true thoughts, but in fact, why do you have to live so tired?" People who refuse to see their hearts clearly will regret it in the end. ”
Tang Xi exhaled lightly, got up and thanked him, "Thank you, Master, I want to ...... I really get it. ”
Leaving from Master Huiqing's residence, Tang Xi's heart was clear, although it seemed that Master Huiqing had not answered her question positively, but in fact, it gave her great help, in the past, what she was best at was self-deception, and now she was picked out to know that she was very wrong.
She raised her hand over her chest and followed her heart, but it was another kind of freedom, wasn't it?
She raised the corners of her lips, and then resolutely walked in the direction of the Great Qian Palace.
Shangguan Yu waited at home until the evening and didn't see Tang Xi come back, and she began to worry in her heart, so she called Xiangcane, "Go and see why Tang Xi hasn't come back yet, I'm a little worried after so long." ”
Xiangsu nodded, and then said with relief, "Don't worry, county lord, Miss Tang is clever and smart, nothing will happen." ”
Shangguan Yu nodded reluctantly, but there was some regret in his heart, he knew that she would go with Tang Xi in this way, she had never been to Daqian, there were many taboos that she didn't know, what if she accidentally offended someone? In particular, Master Huiqing is a senior monk who attaches great importance to Daqian.
Thinking that she couldn't sit still, she walked out with Xiangcane, "I'd better go with you." ”
However, as soon as he walked out of his small courtyard, he saw the housekeeper hurriedly running over, "County Lord, the prince asked you to go over." ”
Shangguan Yu frowned, and said coldly, "Wait, my friend is gone, I'll have to find it and go over later." As he spoke, he passed the butler and prepared to move on.
However, the housekeeper said anxiously, "County Lord, the prince can't be delayed there, it seems that there is something going on in the palace." ”
Shangguan Yu paused, carefully looked at the housekeeper's expression, and saw that he didn't seem to be lying, so his brows furrowed a little tighter, and finally sighed slightly, and said to Xiangcane, "You go first, I'll go over and see first, if something happens to you, come to me directly." ”
Xiangsu nodded, "Don't worry, the county lord, Miss Tang will definitely be fine, you can go to see the prince with peace of mind." ”
Shangguan Yu followed the housekeeper all the way to King Yi's courtyard, and as soon as he entered the door, he said directly, "If there is anything to say, I still have something to do." ”
King Yi frowned, and for the first time since she returned, he looked angry at her, "What is more important than mine?" Why don't you pack up and follow me into the palace! ”
Shangguan Yu was slightly stunned, "Enter the palace?" What to do in the palace? ”
King Yi looked worried, and snorted heavily at her, "There is news from the palace, saying that the little princess of the first queen has been found." ”
"Find ...... Arrived? Shangguan Yu was stunned and repeated, she couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, this cousin she had never met could be found safely, she was naturally happy, but thinking about the situation she would face after she came back, she couldn't help but worry, and at the same time, she also suddenly understood why King Yi's attitude towards herself had changed so much at this time.
King Yi has not been very well treated by the emperor, so this time he can use Shangguanyu to invite credit to the emperor, and he has always been very happy in his heart, but at this time, the little princess was suddenly found, so it is unknown whether there will be variables in the next matter, if he doesn't need to use Shangguanyu, then he will be empty, so it is normal for his face to be ugly now.
Shangguan Yu exhaled, calmed down, and said lightly, "I know, let's go." ”
"Brother Minister, meet Brother Huang!"
"Yan Yu meets Uncle Huang."
In the palace, King Yi took Shangguan Yu to meet the emperor.
The emperor said lightly, "Get up." ”
After King Yi and Shangguan Yu stood up, King Yi couldn't wait to speak, "Brother Huang, I heard that the little princess has been found, is this true?" ”
The emperor nodded, and said indifferently, "What?" Do you still suspect that I am lying? ”
King Yi looked a little embarrassed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Brother I don't dare, my brother is ...... It's just that I care about the little princess. ”
Shangguan Yu also looked up at the emperor, "Uncle Huang, since my aunt died, I have been thinking about this cousin who is outcast, I wonder if she is okay?" ”
When the emperor heard Shangguan Yu mention the first queen, his brows furrowed slightly, and then his eyes seemed to be a little colder, but in the end he answered her, "She's fine, she's dressing up at this time, and she will come over in a while." ”
When King Yi heard this, his face sank slightly, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became more and more serious, and finally he had this opportunity so that the imperial brother could owe him, and by the way, he could also get a benefit, but at this time, this accident happened again, which is really infuriating! He wanted to see who the little princess was.
After waiting for a while, they heard the father-in-law's voice sound, "Your Majesty, the little princess is here." ”
King Yi and Shangguan Yu were suddenly shocked, and looked at the door at the same time, and the emperor also said lightly, "Let her in." ”
As the door was opened, a slender woman's figure appeared in front of several people, the upright palace dress was worn on the body of this sixteen-year-old girl, but it was not at all disobedient, her temperament did not look like a princess who had just been found from the people, but as if she had grown up in the palace since she was a child, which made people unconsciously stunned.
And a moment later, Shangguan Yu's pupils shrank suddenly, "Tang Xi? ”
And King Yi was wondering why this person looked a little familiar, and only after hearing Shangguan Yu's words did he react suddenly, isn't this the friend of Shangguan Yu who has lived in his mansion for a long time? How did she become a little princess?
When the emperor heard Shangguan Yu's words, there was no look of surprise on his face, he must have already checked Tang Xi's origin, but he still asked with a smile, "Do you know?" ”
At this time, Tang Xi had already walked to the center of the hall and bowed to the emperor Yingying, "I've seen it...... Emperor. After hesitating for a while, the voice of "Father" did not come out of the mouth.
The emperor's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't seem to care about Tang Xi's title at all.
Tang Xi glanced at Shangguan Yu, slightly raised the corners of his lips with a hint of provocation, and then looked at the emperor, "If you go back to the emperor, I am friends with the county lord of Yanyu, and I have been living in Yiwang Mansion before. After a pause, she glanced at Shangguan Yu again before saying, "But I suddenly realized my life experience when I went out today, but I came to the palace before I had time to say a word to the county lord of Yan Yu, and the county lord was inevitably surprised to see me at this time." ”
The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Oh? You actually know Yu'er? That's really a bit of fate. As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Shangguan Yu meaningfully.
It's a pity that Shangguan Yu was still immersed in a huge shock at this time, she didn't see the emperor's expression at all, her eyes were still firmly locked on Tang Xi's body, and the emotions in her eyes slowly calmed down after a while, and her voice was low, with an indescribable meaning, and she called softly, "Tang Xi ......"
As soon as the words came out, a line of tears fell, but although they were there, there was no emotion on their faces.
This startled everyone, and King Yi was afraid of making the emperor unhappy, so he hurriedly shouted, "What are you doing?" Today is a day of great joy, why do you shed tears casually? ”
Shangguan Yu lowered his eyes, then raised his hand to wipe his tears, and said coldly, "I'm just...... I'm so happy. said that he was happy, but there was no joy on his face, it was really perfunctory.
And Tang Xi faced this situation, and only showed a slightly distant and a smug smile that was difficult to hide, "The county lord is too sentimental, is the county lord unhappy when I recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors?" ”
When he said this, there was a faint smell of gunpowder, and the emperor, who had been silently observing, frowned slightly, and a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes, is the relationship between these two really not as good as the spy said? However, this kind of thing is also common, women's minds are the most difficult to understand, Tang Xi is kind on the surface, but in his heart he may have been jealous of Yan Yu for a long time, and now that he has finally turned over, he naturally turned his face and did not recognize people.
He frowned slightly, and gradually became a little disappointed in his heart.
"Don't talk about the big day." He spoke out in time to stop this conversation, which was very likely to turn into a war of words, and then looked at Shangguan Yu and said, "Yu'er, the matter of peace and intimacy discussed before, the matter has basically been settled, what is my order today?" ”
Shangguan Yu's state didn't look very good, and when he heard this, his heart suddenly sank, but he still tried his best to control his expression, making himself look as numb as before, "Uncle Huang decided to do it." ”
As soon as the words fell, Tang Xi pursed his lips dissatisfiedly, "Your Majesty, I have also heard of this marriage, but with all due respect, the matter of harmony is a princess's business, isn't it not good to let a county lord overstep his responsibilities?" ”
"Oh?" The emperor looked at her with a smile on his face, "You just returned to the palace today and don't know that the princesses in this palace have all been married, and you are the only one left......"
Tang Xi suddenly raised his head proudly and said confidently, "Isn't that just right?" It seems that it is very timely for me to return, why don't you just let me go and kiss? ”
"This ......," the emperor looked a little troubled, "but you have just returned, and I still hope that you will stay in the palace for a while to accompany me." After a pause, he said, "What's more...... You should know that the tradition of the great cadres will never be in harmony, and if you go, I am afraid that it will not be a good thing. ”
Tang Xi didn't care and said, "Although I am the princess of Daqian, I have always grown up in Fengyuan, so I naturally don't care much about this tradition of Daqian, besides...... I heard that Fengyuan's emperor has not yet been established, if I marry ......" She picked her lips, and the words behind it were self-evident.
The smile in the emperor's eyes was even better, and he turned to look at Shangguan Yu, "Yu'er, what do you think?" ”
Before Shangguan Yu could speak, King Yi couldn't help but open his mouth first, "Brother Huang, don't do it, Brother Huang!" This matter has been discussed for a long time, and if it is a temporary replacement, I am afraid that the things that were discussed before will have to be restarted......"
The expression on the emperor's face was cold, and his eyes looked sharply at King Yi, "I-did I ask you?" ”
King Yi was frightened by his eyes, and suddenly said with a white face, "Brother should die!" The younger brother is just ...... It's just too worried......"
The emperor snorted coldly and looked at Shangguan Yu, Shangguan Yu's lips squirmed, as if he wanted to say something, but he was hesitating, for a long time, she finally collapsed under the emperor's staring eyes, she pursed her lips, looking a little lonely, "Since I agreed, I won't regret it, why bother to put the little princess in again?" ”
Tang Xi snorted coldly, "I promised everything, but I kept this reluctant expression, don't think I don't know, you can completely escape from Daqian, you are very happy!" ”
When Shangguan Yu heard this, he raised his eyes to look at Tang Xi, then his brows furrowed little by little, he turned his head to bow to the emperor, and said firmly, "Your Majesty, it is a matter of my big plan, the little princess has just come back, and her feelings for the big dry are not very deep, so this matter should not be handed over to the little princess." ”
Tang Xi frowned, obviously very unhappy, "You're provoking!" ”
The emperor, who had been watching the play quietly, interrupted them again in a timely manner, "Okay, this matter ...... I need to think about it again, so let's all go back first. ”
"Yes." Tang Xi looked unwilling.
"Yes." Shangguan Yu still looked indifferent.
After everyone left, the emperor narrowed his eyes, "Li Yan, how long will it take to find out Tang Xi's origin?" ”
"Back to the emperor, it's about Feng Yuan, it will take a few days."
"As soon as possible."
"Yes."
Out of the main hall, Tang Xi didn't stop for half a minute, and was directly about to go back to the residence prepared for her by the emperor, but just as she took a step, she heard Shangguan Yu say coldly behind her, "The princess still has something in the Yiwang Mansion, don't you go back and get it?" ”
Tang Xi paused, and then pursed his lips, "Those tattered things, this princess is not rare, the county lord should take them and throw them away." ”
Shangguan Yu narrowed his eyes, "Heh, is it...... The day before yesterday, I saw a painting scroll in your room, and the outside was very good, and if it was used to start a fire, it would be good......"
Tang Xi's body stiffened, and the secret said badly, why did he forget the painting? The painting was nothing else, it was the "dowry" taken from Huo Jinyan, the portrait painted by Huo Jinyan for Feng Xi.
At that time, she took many paintings, but only this one, with an innocent smile on her face, was painted by his imagination, but it was very much in line with her heart, so this time she escaped, she hesitated again and again and finally brought it.
Shangguan Yu saw that she was frozen there and didn't say anything, and snorted coldly and said to King Yi, "Let's go." ”
"Wait!" In the end, Tang Xi still stopped her, looking at her expected expression, Tang Xi was indignant in his heart, but he could only reluctantly say, "I'll go back with you." ”
Shangguan Yu didn't say anything more, only snorted coldly and walked out first.
King Yi was holding back the fire in his heart, and he didn't dare to make a statement to the emperor, but at this time, he no longer concealed it at all, and sneered, "Hehe, seeing the princess behaving like this now, it seems that she feels very wronged in my palace for these days?" ”
Tang Xi pursed his lips and said unceremoniously, "It's good that King Yi knows the grievances, such a small courtyard, there is only one maidservant, and it is really aggrieved to be crowded with the so-called county lord in that kind of broken place." ”
"You!" King Yi's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and he said indignantly, "You dare to play with this king even if you are a wild girl from the people?" ”
Tang Xi glanced at him coldly, "Lord Cautious, this is not out of the palace yet!" ”
After speaking, in King Yi's slightly pale face, Tang Xi followed Shangguan Yu with a high spirit.
Of course, Tang Xi's arrogance can only be maintained to the Yiwang Mansion, and when she arrived in Shangguan Yu's small courtyard, Tang Xi was immediately stunned, looking at Shangguan Yu with a cold face, she swallowed her saliva, and then smiled and said, "That, I'll go get something first, huh?" As he spoke, he prepared to slip away.
However, as soon as he took a step, he heard Shangguan Yu say coldly, "Get back for me!" ”
Tang Xi's neck shrank, and he immediately stood obediently like a child who had made a mistake, waiting for the adult's lesson.
Shangguan Yu looked at Tang Xi's cowardly face, and his heart was even more angry, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Tang Xi pursed his lips, "What else can it be, isn't it just what you see, I'm your cousin, no wonder we hit it off at first sight, hahahaha......" laughed a few times Seeing that Shangguan Yu was still unmoved and staring at her with a calm face, she could only smile, scratched her head and said, "Don't be so serious, I'm cowardly, you scare me again......"
"Are you cowardly?" Hearing this, Shangguan Yu suddenly became even more angry, "You are cowardly, you dare to do this without me?" Say, are you really my cousin? Or ......," she bit her lip, "or is it a fake to clear me?" ”
Tang Xi rolled his eyes, "Do you really dare to think that you are pretending to be a princess for you?" You think you're that important? As she spoke, she raised her hand and ripped off her clothes a little, revealing the birthmark on her chest, "Oh, I can see it clearly, it's like a fake!" ”
