77, Return Pavilion

Tang Xi followed the palace maid all the way to Concubine Lan's residence, which she was also familiar with, it was the residence of Pei Ziqing, her Fengjun, Changning Palace.

Feng Lie has really done everything he can, Fu Jinglan is now absolutely loved and loved in this harem, if it weren't for her low status, I'm afraid she would have been established as a queen long ago, right?

When Tang Xi entered the door, Fu Jinglan sat on the main seat drinking tea, seeing her drinking tea, Tang Xi had to sigh in her heart, she was really serious enough to act, even if Feng Lie was not here, her every move was still imitating Feng Xi.

The tea she drank was Feng Xi's favorite Biluochun, and the action of holding the teacup was also like Feng Xi, not an orchid finger, but only the little finger was slightly cocked, in short, all kinds of details, all kinds of details were learned very well, if there was any shortcoming, there was less Feng Xi's momentum, after all, it was the momentum of a generation of empresses, not something that ordinary people could easily learn.

Tang Xi looked at Fu Jinglan and saluted her, "Yan Xi has seen Concubine Lan. ”

When Fu Jinglan saw Tang Xi, she showed a gentle smile, "Princess Xi doesn't have to be polite, come and take a seat." ”

Even this fake smile was exactly the same as herself, Tang Xi had goosebumps when she saw it, she suppressed the discomfort in her heart, and smiled at her, "I don't know what happened to Concubine Lan looking for me?" ”

Fu Jinglan raised her eyebrows, "Look at what you said, you are the same age as Bengong, so I can't talk to you casually if I don't have anything?" ”

"......" Faced with a person who was imitating himself in every move, Tang Xi said that he was really a little unbearable, so he accepted it with a smile on his face, "I'm not the only one who is the same age as Niangniang, Niangniang might as well say it directly, right?" ”

Fu Jinglan's smile froze, and then she smiled helplessly, "Princess Xi is really very similar to an old man in this palace, not only in appearance, but also in temper. ”

After speaking, she turned her head and said to the palace maid beside her, "This tea is a little cold, go and change a pot for the palace." ”

The palace maid answered, and then took the tea set and left, and did not forget to close the door for them when she left, and suddenly there were only the two of them left in the hall.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Tang Xi smiled slightly, "That's really a coincidence, the emperor also said that I was like one of his old friends, and today Niangniang also said the same, it seems that I have a relationship with the Fengyuan royal family, and the origin is not shallow." ”

Fu Jinglan looked at her for a while, and then as if she had suddenly removed all her disguises, she smiled at her with mockery on her face, "Tang Xi, there is no one else here, why bother talking around the bush again?" ”

Tang Xi was slightly stunned, she didn't expect Fu Jinglan to act like this, obviously their previous experience was not very pleasant, at least her impression of dealing with Jinglan was extremely bad, so why would she be so defenseless against her? It's a puzzling move.

So she said with vigilance in her eyes, "My name is Yanxi, I'm afraid I remember it wrong." ”

Fu Jinglan laughed, "There is no need to act again, if I can't be sure before, but looking at the faint hostility in your eyes and the faint dislike in your words, I am completely sure...... I used to wonder in my heart, who would be the princess who had just been found? But I didn't expect it to be an old man, but seeing that it was you, I was much more relieved. ”

Tang Xi was confused when he heard her words, frowned and hesitated, "...... What are you talking about? ”

Fu Jinglan raised her lips, "Didn't he tell you?" He was sent into Feng Yuan's helper one step ahead of you...... That's me. ”

Tang Xi looked at Fu Jinglan in disbelief, what did she mean was that Emperor Daqian had said that the help he gave her was Fu Jinglan? If that's the case, then the person who taught her to imitate Feng Xi is the emperor of Daqian? But even she didn't know Feng Lie's feelings for her, how did they know about it?

However, the surprised expression was only for a moment, and in a blink of an eye, Tang Xi's expression calmed down again, she stared at Fu Jinglan's eyes tightly, and pursed her lips, "I don't know what you're talking about." ”

"Huh...... You're cautious enough. Fu Jinglan sneered, "If I can do it all over again, I don't want to be your help, it's not good to have a sword hanging from my neck that may make my head fall to the ground at any time." ”

"Soon after you left, my father offended the officials above, and was chased by the killers they sent to chase and kill, my whole family died, only my father and I escaped, the person my father offended was too powerful, as long as he was still in Fengyuan, it would be difficult to have peace, so he took me to flee to Daqian, but when I just arrived at the border of Daqian, those people still chased after me......" She closed her eyes, and her tone was sad, "My father was killed to protect me, and then when they wanted to kill me, Daqian's officers and soldiers came, Saved me. ”

Tang Xi didn't speak, just listened quietly.

"At that time, he was already planning this matter, and was secretly looking for a woman who resembled her, and the leader of those officers and soldiers happened to be in charge of the matter, and he said that my eyes were very similar to that man, and he took me back."

Tang Xi raised his eyebrows, "You want to avenge your father?" Or do you want to be prosperous and rich? ”

Fu Jinglan was silent, then curled her lips and smiled, "I want them all." ”

"I said, that person has a very high status in Fengyuan, if I rely on myself, the blood feud will not be avenged no matter what, and I have fallen into such a field, I have no choice, fight with my life, once I win, I will get all my wishes, if I lose, it is just a cheap life, it's not a big deal."

Fu Jinglan turned her head to look at Tang Xi, who was silent again, "You still don't believe me?" Scold...... Never mind. As she spoke, she took out a sachet from her bosom and took out the contents of it, which was a small jade pendant, "Take this back to his person and he will understand." ”

Tang Xi stretched out her hand and took the thing, in fact, she had already believed Fu Jinglan's words, and doing so was just to lure her to say more, but since the token had been taken out at this time, there was nothing to say about it.

"May I ask who your enemy is?"

"He'......" she smiled weirdly, "you probably know each other, after all, you almost became a family ......"

Tang Xi's pupils shrank suddenly, and he gritted his teeth and spit out a few words, "Marquis Anyuan...... Lu Yunan. ”

Fu Jinglan had a look of mockery in her eyes, "Yes, I didn't expect it, right?" The loyal and virtuous Marquis An Yuan, who is loyal and virtuous in the eyes of the people, is actually just a sanctimonious hypocrite, do you know how my father, a remote richest man, offended him? Because he is also one of the culprits of the flood corruption case in Kunxian County, Qianzhou, the officials are not easy to come forward, so his father, a businessman, came forward for them to complete the things that harm the people, and it is because of this that my father had a conflict with the so-called thieves who robbed the rich and helped the poor in Yingzui Mountain...... Hehe, hahahaha, don't you think it's funny? What else is there to do with such a country? It's better to ruin it directly! ”

Tang Xi looked at the hatred and madness in Fu Jinglan's eyes silently, but in his heart, it was as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle, and the five-flavor was mixed.

On the public, Marquis An Yuan made great contributions to Fengyuan when he was young, and he always silently supported her in her most difficult times; In terms of selfishness, the co-life and death between her and Lu Zheng, and in the end, she cheated him...... No matter how you look at it, you owe Lu Zheng.

But in the end, she found out that An Yuanhou was also a moth of the country? How can she be embarrassed by this?

Fu Jinglan saw her loss of consciousness and said disdainfully, "What? Princess Feixi still can't let go of the past? I advise you, since you have come to this point, go on honestly, otherwise you know the end, we are now grasshoppers on a rope, let go of the mustard in our hearts, and cooperate to achieve the ultimate goal, which is the smartest choice. ”

Tang Xi pursed his lips, "I'll come to you again." After speaking, she turned around and left Changning Palace.

On the way back, Tang Xi did not take the carriage, but walked aimlessly on the street, and the coachman could only drive the carriage to follow not far behind her.

She was still thinking about what Fu Jinglan said, should she believe it? But if she didn't believe it, why would she lie to her? First Feng Lie, and then An Yuanhou, one after another, shattered the phantoms in her heart, what is real?

"Ahh Suddenly she heard the cry of a girl, she came back to her senses, and lowered her head to see the little girl who had fallen in front of her, and at this moment she was looking at the wound on her hand, and she looked like she was going to cry or not.

Tang Xi immediately reacted that she had bumped into the little girl, so she squatted down and wanted to pull her up, and said apologetically, "Little sister, I'm sorry, your hands are okay, right?" ”

It's okay not to say it, as soon as she said it, the little girl immediately cried a few words, "Woo woo, something!" My hands hurt and so did my legs...... Woo woo, I can't stand up......"

Tang Xi coaxed helplessly, "Don't cry, it's all my sister's fault, I'll send you to the hospital to bandage it, okay?" ”

Seeing that something was going on on her side, the coachman immediately stepped forward and said, "Shall I send her there?" ”

Tang Xi shook his head, "No need, it's my fault, I have to make up for it myself." ”

The girl cried for a long time before sobbing, "I...... I don't want to go to the hospital, I want to go home! ”

Tang Xi hesitated for a moment, and then thought that he would find a doctor for her to see at home later, so he nodded and said, "Okay, okay, then I'll send you home first, where is your home?" ”

“…… My home is in Chunhe Building. ”

It sounded like the name of a restaurant, so Tang Xi nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll send you back." After speaking, he turned to the coachman and said, "You help me find a doctor to Chunhe Building, and I will send her back first." ”

The coachman hesitated, "But...... It's too dangerous for you to be on your own. ”

Tang Xi shook his head, "What danger can there be in such a bustling and lively street market?" ”

The coachman thought about it, and then instructed, "Then don't go around, I'll be there later." ”

Tang Xi nodded, and then picked up the girl, "Come on, I'll send you home, and you show me the way." ”

The girl said that the Chunhe Building, not too far from here, after two streets to see the huge plaque of the Chunhe Building, it is really a restaurant.

Tang Xi hugged the little girl and wanted to enter through the gate, but the little girl pulled her sleeve and said softly, "We went to the backyard from the side door, and my mother was on an errand in the backyard." ”

Tang Xi nodded and took her steps and turned to the side door, the door was closed, she raised her hand and knocked twice, and after a while, someone answered, and then opened the door a crack, and saw the girl in Tang Xi's arms, so she let go and invited someone in.

Tang Xi entered the courtyard and said to the man who opened the door, "She is injured, put her in place, I have already called Lang Zhong, and then I will arrive." ”

The man arched his hand, "Thank you." With that, he picked up the little girl.

Tang Xi rubbed his sour arm and looked around, "Where is your boss?" It's time to come out now, right? I don't have much time, so I'll come to me in a moment. ”

As soon as her voice fell, a familiar figure walked out of the corner, with a ruffian smile on his face, "Tsk, just go with someone by yourself, aren't you afraid of selling you?" ”

When the man saw the comer, he saluted her, and quietly withdrew with the girl.

Tang Xi smiled and said, "If I didn't know it was you, how could I come with me casually?" After speaking, he looked Shangguan Yu up and down again, and teased, "What a delicate beautiful lady, why don't you wear men's clothes this time?" ”

Shangguan Yu took a sip of her, pretending to be angry, "It's not for you?" I used to be in the capital for a while in men's clothing, and it was hard to guarantee that someone would recognize me, so this time I changed back to women's clothing, which can hide people's eyes. ”

Tang Xi raised his eyebrows, "Such a beautiful proprietress, won't she meet someone who is looking for trouble?" ”

Shangguan Yu said proudly, "They wanted to come to find trouble, but they were all beaten by the people under my hands." ”

Tang Xi frowned when he heard this, "Look at your excellent business here...... Other than that, there are no people from the government to find fault? ”

When Shangguan Yu heard this, he immediately stopped, "Hey, what do you mean by this?" You're not happy if no one is looking for me, are you? ”

Tang Xi hurriedly shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that, it's just that if you think about it, this is also a relatively prosperous area in the capital, and those who can do business here have more or less official relationships behind it, so how can you look at a restaurant like you with no background and look indifferent?" ”

When Shangguan Yu heard Tang Xi say this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, touched his chin and said, "Could it be ...... Someone secretly helping me? But I don't know anyone in the capital? ”

Tang Xi raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and sighed, "I know who it is...... Also, how can you avoid his eyes and ears when you come to the capital? ”

Shangguan Yu raised his eyebrows, "What are you talking about...... Huo Jinyan? ”

Tang Xi nodded, "I can only think of him, after all, there are only a few people who can make your restaurant calm and unaware." ”

Shangguan Yu pursed his lips, "Tang Xi, I heard that the emperor's will is that you can come to Fengyuan to find a good son-in-law, in this case, can you follow your wishes and choose Huo Jinyan?" ”

Tang Xi shook his head, "Impossible, I am surrounded by their people everywhere, how can I do such a thing?" I'm afraid I'm going to die before I can act. ”

"Tell me honestly, did he have a back hand other than that? Otherwise, if you run away, you won't have a chance...... Why are you still here? ”

"Escape? And then what? Do you want to be a fugitive for the rest of your life? That's too tiring, and the trick of cheating death has already been used once, and no one will believe it if it is used again, so I can only choose to follow his words and continue to move forward. ”

"Although I don't know their true purpose, I also vaguely understand that the purpose of your trip is by no means simple, do you really want to do things for them? If you really marry Feng Lie but have bad intentions, you won't end well! ”

Tang Xi raised his lips, "You are stupid, if I can marry Feng Lie, I have Feng Lie to rely on, will I be afraid that their threat will not be successful?" When the time comes, I will no longer be at the mercy of them, so you can rest assured. ”

"Shopkeeper, the coachman is here with the doctor." Suddenly, someone came to report.

Shangguan Yu nodded when he heard this, and then said to Tang Xi, "This is the general base for me to establish my power, whether it is eyeliner or killer, I will cultivate a group of elites for you, and when the time comes, you can come to me at any time if you need me." ”

Tang Xi smiled, "Sounds very powerful, do you have a name for this force?" ”

"It's just a prototype, where can I care about choosing a name?"

Tang Xi smiled when he heard this, "In that case, then I'll take one, just call it the Return Pavilion, and I'll reluctantly be a deputy pavilion master for you." ”

Shangguan Yu repeated softly, "Return Pavilion...... This name is good, I'm just waiting for you to come back here, but the deputy pavilion master is mine, you better be the pavilion master honestly! ”

Tang Xi understood in his heart that Shangguan Yu still felt that he owed her, so he didn't shirk it, and only sneered, "Then you have to manage it well, don't embarrass me as a pavilion master!" ”

"Definitely!"

No one thought that the name taken out like a joke would one day in the future resounding all over the world in the stormy and turbulent times.

After seeing Shangguan Yu, Tang Xi's mood was much better, and after returning to his residence, he asked Cheng Nan to come over, because of the existence of Qingshuang and Bailu, Tang Xi couldn't talk to Cheng Nan more, so he only pretended to be willful and let Cheng Nan teach her martial arts, and after practicing for a while, he quarreled that he was thirsty and hungry and branched out of Qingshuang Bailu, and then he found an opportunity to say a few words alone with Cheng Nan.

"I saw Shangguan Yu today, but I haven't told her that you are here with me, I think it is better for you to go and say it in person."

Cheng Nan's eyes moved, and he hesitated, "Where is she?" ”

"She opened a Chunhelou in the capital, and she wanted to use it to hide people's eyes and ears and cultivate forces to help me."

Cheng Nan was silent for a while, "Okay, I'll find time to go over." ”

"It's not easy for her to run alone now, don't you want to help her?" Tang Xi followed the good path.

Cheng Nan shook his head, "She's smart enough, even if she doesn't have me, she will definitely be able to do well, but you...... Now that I am alone, I can't abandon you at this time, Shangguan Yu's management forces are also to help you, so I protect you to help her, even if I tell her clearly, she will definitely stay by your side as well. ”

Tang Xi couldn't help but roll his eyes, "You brainless, have you forgotten that you liked me before?" If you insist on staying by my side in this way, what should you make Shangguan Yu think? She will definitely feel that you have no feelings for me, so there will be a misunderstanding between you, and it will make her sad in vain! ”

Cheng Nan pursed his lips, and Ren Tangxi didn't change his words no matter what he said, "Anyway, I won't leave you alone, you don't have to persuade again, as for Shangguan Yu, I will find a chance to go over and have a look." ”

Tang Xi also had no choice but to take Cheng Nan, no matter what, since he insisted on staying, she didn't have long to live anyway, even if she delayed the two of them, it wouldn't be too long.

In the evening, Tang Xi took out the jade pendant that Fu Jinglan gave her and showed it to Qingshuang, and Qingshuang confirmed that this was indeed the jade pendant of the Daqian royal family, which seemed to be enough to explain Fu Jinglan's identity.

Now that this layer is confirmed, then she should go to the palace again when she is free and ask how they know that Feng Lie likes Feng Xi, if it is okay for other reasons, I am afraid that there is a spy in the Fengyuan Palace, then it is not good, so I have to investigate it anyway.

However, it is strange to think that Feng Lie is unwary of this woman who suddenly appears and is similar to Feng Xi everywhere, so if she is in frequent contact with Fu Jinglan, I am afraid that it will arouse suspicion, so she has to wait for a natural opportunity.

Of course, Fu Jinglan is not stupid, she also thinks of what Tang Xi thinks, so she doesn't need Tang Xi to remind her, she created this opportunity for her.

That is the matter of choosing a son-in-law for Tang Xi, I don't know what Fu Jinglan said, Feng Lie was actually handed over to her, so she had an excuse to have contact with Fu Jinglan again.

On this day, Feng Lie issued an edict announcing Tang Xi's entry into the palace, and this was the first time to introduce young talents to her, Feng Lie also came forward, sitting with Fu Jinglan and watching the small portraits of suitable young talents.

Seeing Tang Xi coming, Feng Lie looked up at her with a smile and said, "Princess Xi is here, just come over to take a look, I have carefully selected young talents for you, if you are interested in any of them, I will arrange for you to meet again." ”

Tang Xi was speechless, knowing that he was coming for him, he was so enthusiastic about introducing young talents to her, this was a deliberate slap in the face! However, she didn't care much about this, so she took a few steps forward without changing her face, looking at the portrait of the eunuch holding up, she nodded and shook her head for a while, looking very into the play.

Feng Lie pursed his lips, "How?" Is there anything you are satisfied with? ”

"Well, this one is too thin, this one is too tall, huh...... That's too ugly, and here's, it's okay to look good, but it's really not manly. ”

"Huh...... Princess Xi is picky, so I don't know if you have the right person in mind? Still is...... I talked to Huo Jin all the way, and I was also confused by his face? ”

Tang Xi raised his eyebrows, shook his head regretfully and said, "If you talk about appearance, then there are naturally few people in this Fengyuan who can compare with Master Huo, but in the end, the matter of choosing a son-in-law still depends on the eyes, and the eyes of Lord Huo who don't match, forget it." ”

After a pause, she looked up at Feng Lie and said, "But Your Majesty, your appearance is quite in line with my heart, if Your Majesty wants to introduce it, why don't you introduce someone similar to Your Majesty?" ”

"Bold!" Before Feng Lie could speak, Gonggong Li shouted at the top of his voice, "Princess Xi, you are also a princess of a country, how can you be so frivolous to Your Majesty?" ”

"The emperor forgives the sins." Tang Xi lowered his head and said with no sincerity, "Although I am a princess, I grew up in the people, and I don't know much about the rules, and I hope that the emperor will not be like me." ”
