Tang Xi first asked Feng Lie for peace, and then glanced at the chicken soup that Feng Lie was drinking, and felt that nine times out of ten, Li Linglong sent someone to spy on her, and knew that she was coming to deliver chicken soup, so he rushed over first, in order to disgust her.

So looking at Li Linglong, who was sitting there talking to Feng Lie and quieted down when he saw her, Tang Xi's mouth was very damaged, "Yo, Princess Sanssouci is not only sending soup, but also serving as an escort?" The service was also too good. ”

Li Linglong's face sank, but because Feng Lie was here, she wanted to maintain her image, so naturally she couldn't be like Tang Xi, she could just scare as much as she wanted, so she just pursed her lips, "Princess Xi, please respect yourself when you speak, I didn't know that you were also coming to deliver soup, this time it's just a coincidence, Princess Xi doesn't need to be so hostile to me." ”

Tang Xi smiled lazily, "I'm hostile to you not because of this bowl of soup, but because I don't like you in the first place." ”

"You!"

"That's it!" Feng Lie opened his mouth to interrupt the battle between the two, "You can't help but ignore me too much, what kind of thing is it to make a noise in front of me?" ”

Li Linglong pursed her lips, "Your Majesty forgives you." ”

And Tang Xi shrugged her shoulders indifferently, anyway, she was addicted to enough, so she wouldn't say anything if she didn't say it.

Feng Lie didn't say anything more, just glanced at the soup in Tang Xi's hand, and said lightly, "You are also here to bring me soup?" ”

Tang Xi glanced at the bowl of chicken soup that had been drunk by Feng Lie, "Originally, yes, but seeing that the emperor shouldn't need it anymore at this time, I'll keep it for myself and drink it." After finishing speaking, he asked quite heartlessly, "Does the emperor still have a spoon?" I'm also troublesome to serve here, so I'll just drink it here. ”

"......" I wanted to say that Feng Lie, who was brought over for him to taste, could only stare at her at this time, everyone said that he wanted to drink it himself, he couldn't grab something to eat with others, right?

Sensing Feng Lie's strange complexion, Li Linglong lightly picked the corners of his mouth, although this Tang Xi has a lot of eyes, but this temperament is really bad, for example, now, because he is unhappy, he dares to play in front of the emperor, and the emperor is unhappy.

Seeing that the atmosphere was already a little wrong at this moment, Tang Xi looked at Feng Lie quite innocently and asked, "Is there one?" Emperor? ”

Feng Lie's eyes were slightly dark, and he couldn't go up or down with a breath, and finally he could only say angrily, "Li Sheng, get her a spoon!" ”

Tang Xi smiled with satisfaction when he heard this, and then said, "Then can the emperor give me another seat by the way?" ”

Feng Lie said that he was in a bad mood and didn't want to speak, so he glared at Li Sheng again, and Li Sheng immediately moved a stool for Tang Xi with a clear understanding.

Then, under the gaze of a pair of eyes, Tang Xi really drank the dregs of the can of soup beautifully, and finally hiccuped with satisfaction, "Well, it tastes great." After saying that, he handed the bowl to the little eunuch and asked him to take it down.

"......" Feng Lie felt that the direction of this plot seemed to be a little wrong, it stands to reason that two women who want to marry themselves get together, shouldn't this be jealousy, verbal warfare, or changing ways to get his attention? How did it become a large number of people who watched Tang Xi wordlessly and drank a bowl of soup?

Tang Xi, who was full of food and drink, noticed Feng Lie's strange gaze looking at him, so he looked back unceremoniously, and then said with a smile, "Your Majesty, if you want to taste my stewed soup one day in the future, come to Jingyang Palace at any time, it's really unfortunate today, I won't bother you, then I'll go back?" ”

...... "So you're just here for a soup?" Feng Lie frowned, feeling that something seemed wrong, to say that Tang Xi's heartless performance was deliberately angry with him, but he couldn't see the slightest jealousy on her face, or did she really not want to please him? Do you want to get away with it? Or is that really the case? Feng Lie felt that she couldn't see through her, and she ...... Do you really want to enter the palace?

As an opponent, Li Linglong, watched Tang Xi's performance throughout the whole process, and observed Feng Lie's expression from time to time, she suddenly felt that this might be Tang Xi's means? Otherwise, after she was so rude and willful, why did the emperor not only have no disgust on his face, but also a faint exploration and curiosity?

She couldn't help but be silent, could it be that she was outdated and couldn't keep up with today's means of competing for favor? Do you want to learn from her? Or continue to follow your own path and be a white lotus with ice and jade, high above? Li Linglong began to hesitate in her heart......

And Tang Xi didn't realize that her actions made the two of them think so much, in fact, she just took this trip purely to deal with Qingshuang Bailu, and obviously someone had already taken the lead, so she brushed her bad feelings in front of Feng Lie by the way, and behaved so rudely, he would definitely be displeased!

In the days that followed, Tang Xi was fighting wits and courage with everyone every day, and at first he felt a little tired, but later he felt that it was a kind of fun.

Since Li Linglong didn't do anything too much during this period, Feng Lie's attitude towards her was not relaxed, and according to her observation, Feng Lie should have arranged eyeliner around her and Li Linglong, so under such protection, Tang Xi really didn't think that Li Linglong could make any tricks, so she didn't move her.

There is a Li Linglong here, so she can share Feng Lie's attention, if Li Linglong is simply eliminated, then Feng Lie is not only busy with business, but I am afraid that she will also stare at her attentively.

And Feng Lie's attitude towards her is a little subtle, saying that he hates her, but every time she dies, he doesn't care too much, speaking of which, Li Linglong probably also discovered Feng Lie's subtle conniving attitude towards her, so he didn't act rashly.

can be said to like her, but he never gets close to her, every time he sees her, he looks vigilant and thoughtful, which really makes people can't figure out what he thinks.

However, his subtle attitude has also brought her some convenience, at least some of his connivance, in the eyes of Qingshuang Bailu, he is one step closer to success, and even Fu Jinglan feels that Feng Lie is slowly developing a good impression of her, it can be said that the eyeliner of the three Great Qian Emperors around her has been deceived by success, so she doesn't have to worry about her life for the time being.

In addition, reminding Feng Lie to pay attention to Da Qian's matter, she thought about it again and again, and finally felt that the easiest way was to make Feng Lie suspicious and jealous of her, but at the same time, she couldn't be caught by him, in this case, I am afraid that Feng Lie would make some small moves in private to find ways to weaken Da Qian's strength, so that they have a thief's heart and no thief's courage.

It's just that this degree has to be handled very well, after all, she is basically a double agent, how to make sure that both parties will not suspect her intentions, is the most important and the most difficult point.

And the first point of entry she decided was Jiang Zizhong's incident, Shenggu's Kyoto was not too far from Fengyuan's capital, and half a month after Yan Ning and the others left, Shenggu's people arrived.

Since the cause of this incident was Tang Xi, she naturally wanted to show up.

Sheng Gu's envoy first apologized to her, and then presented some gold, silver, and jewelry as a gift of reparation.

Then they asked the emperor euphemistically, whether Jiang Zizhong could be taken lightly, Feng Lie smiled lightly, and kicked the ball to her side, "You should ask Princess Xi about this, if she agrees, then I will naturally not be too embarrassed Jiang Zizhong." ”

"......" Tang Xi, who was suddenly named, choked and almost choked, and then looked at Feng Lie with a slight resentment, so sure she would not dismantle the stage?

Although she was a little angry that Feng Lie's trick led to the east, but in the matter of Jiang Zizhong, she really couldn't dismantle the stage, so under the various pleas of Sheng Gu's envoys, she still said with a cold face, "I accept your apology based on the premise that Jiang Zizhong gets the punishment he deserves, if you still insist on reusing Jiang Zizhong, then I'm afraid I won't accept your Sheng Gu's apology." ”

Sheng Gu's face was a little difficult to look at, but because Feng Lie was here, he couldn't be presumptuous, so even though his face was pale, in the end they didn't say anything more, only said, "Your Majesty, Jiang Zizhong is the son of my emperor who values him the most, and I have come here several times to explain that I hope to minimize his punishment...... Now, although Princess Xi refuses to let go, it is not good for us to agree directly, please let Emperor Rong think about it for a few days. ”

Feng Lie narrowed his eyes, and he roughly understood their thoughts in his heart, and looked at Tang Xi with a blank look, and then responded indifferently, "Okay, I naturally want to give this time." ”

After a few more pleasantries, they dispersed.

Unexpectedly, early the next morning, Sheng Gu's people handed over a post to invite Tang Xi to a banquet.

Tang Xi knew what the other party had in mind, although she didn't want to let Jiang Zizhong go, but if she could make Feng Lie feel anxious, she would be quite happy, otherwise she would be a little unable to swallow this breath in her heart if she was used as a gunman.

So Tang Xi immediately agreed to come down and went to the banquet in the afternoon.

During the banquet, Sheng Gu's people naturally said all kinds of good things and coaxed her to be happy, so she cut to the chase, "Princess Xi, you see, the fifth prince is indeed very valued by my emperor, and now that he has done such a thing, although my emperor feels sad and sorry for you, but in the end, he can't bear to be so much in vain, so ...... Do you see if you can change the conditions? For example, the gold mine on the border between Shenggu and Daqian...... Originally, our two countries were divided equally, but my emperor said that if Princess Xi is willing to take a step back, we can also give up a point. ”

Tang Xi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, he didn't expect Sheng Gu to be so generous? I thought that the other party would bribe her with some gold, silver and jewelry at most, but I didn't expect it to be so generous as soon as something happened, and directly gave up a cent of the gold mine, she knew that the gold mine he said was very large, and it was on the border between the two countries, so the two countries had been arguing for a long time, and finally decided to divide it for a long time, and finally decided to divide it into five or five, which didn't sound like much, but compared to the size of the gold mine, it was a huge amount of money.

So Rao is Tang Xi didn't want to let go of Jiang Zizhong at all, but he couldn't help but feel a little itchy at this moment, but if he thought about it carefully, it didn't have much to do with her...... She really doesn't have such a big sense of mission for Daqian, and besides, Daqian's ambition has swelled, and with more wealth, his ambition will only swell even more.

However, she didn't completely refuse, she just went back and thought about it again and passed it perfunctorily.

And her so-called going back to think about it, naturally she is waiting for Feng Lie, Sheng Gu's people put such a good chip in her hands, she has no reason not to take advantage of it, not to mention that there is enough foreshadowing in these days, and now it is time to do something serious.

Sure enough, in the evening of the same day, Feng Lie came to Jingyang Palace, this was the first time Feng Lie came over since she entered the palace, all the joy was bad for the green frost and white dew, the two of them were busy with tea and snacks, and then they squeezed their eyebrows at her, and then retreated.

Tang Xi sat there for a long time, coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty came here in person so late, but what's the matter?" ”

Feng Lie snorted lightly, "Why pretend to be stupid, you should know what I'm here for." ”

Tang Xi looked over with a smile, "Pretending to be stupid? Why don't I understand it? ”

Seeing Tang Xi doing Tai Chi here, Feng Lie's face sank slightly, and then he said bluntly, "Say, what conditions did Sheng Gu give you?" ”

Tang Xi pretended to be surprised and said, "The emperor is so well-informed?" Yes, today's Shenggu banquet invited me, and it did mention that. After speaking, he didn't immediately say Sheng Gu's conditions, but looked at Feng Lie and smiled happily, "Then I don't know, is the emperor here to bribe me?" I don't know what kind of conditions the emperor is ready to offer? ”

Feng Lie's eyes narrowed dangerously, and he said with a smile, "You are still the first person who dares to blackmail me." ”

Tang Xi looked innocent, "The emperor doesn't want to wronged me, when did I blackmail you?" It's just a normal chat with you, if the emperor doesn't want to open conditions, then naturally forget it, but it's just that those people in Shenggu today are also strange and pitiful, and I suddenly felt a little soft-hearted......"

Feng Lie sneered, "You threaten me? ”

"How dare you?" Tang Xi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The emperor's mind should not be too dark, don't I just talk about things." ”

Feng Lie took a sip of tea with some impatience and said bluntly, "Okay, don't pretend, just say it, what do you want?" ”

Tang Xi immediately laughed when he heard this, "The emperor is so happy soon?" It's also tiring to pretend. ”

"Actually, I don't want much, I just think that Your Majesty's annual tribute to us is heavier, I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to reconsider it?" After a pause, he said with a smile, "Sheng Gu gave me the condition of giving up a share of the profits from the gold mine on our border, and the emperor can't be stingy with them." ”

Feng Lie's gaze suddenly looked straight over, staring at Tang Xi's eyes and said indifferently, "I thought you would let me marry you." ”

Tang Xi shook his head, "Although I really want to marry the emperor, but this kind of exchange of interests is really not interesting, what I want is the emperor's true heart, if not, then it really doesn't make sense for me to marry or not, isn't it the same as guarding in Jingyang Palace?" Therefore, it is better to help the cadres exchange some practical benefits. ”

Her words were purely foolish, but she didn't expect Feng Lie to suddenly say, "How do you know that I don't have a sincere heart?" ”

Tang Xi was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about what Feng Lie meant, the hairs on his body stood upside down, and he smiled a little stiffly, "The emperor doesn't want to make fun of me......"

Feng Lie sneered, "I can't tell you that you want to marry me." ”

A trace of cold sweat crossed Tang Xi's forehead, and he forced himself to calm down, "The emperor doesn't want to laugh, he naturally wants to marry when he marries, but I am not happy to hear that the emperor is joking about this matter." ”

"Jokes? I'm not kidding. He narrowed his eyes, "I think you're a person full of puzzles, and it's really interesting, so ...... I really want to reconsider whether marrying you is possible. ”

"......" big brother! Don't bring such scary! Tang Xi almost wanted to kneel for Feng Lie, I have already done so many things that you hate, how can you suddenly become interested in me? This is not scientific!

However, the matter has come to this, and she knows that the more she resists, the more the other party may not give in, so fortunately she showed a surprised and cautious smile, "Is the emperor serious?" If that's the case...... The matter of descending the New Year's tribute can naturally be said slowly. ”

When Feng Lie saw her like this, he looked at her with a complicated face for a while, and finally said softly, "Will you change your face?" "Why is it that every time I see it, it looks different? So what exactly do you want?

However, the meaning of Tang Xi's words still made him lose interest, and the matter of the Sui Gong was slowly talked about? Doesn't that mean that she thinks that as long as she marries him, she can influence him? Is that what she wants to marry her? Thinking about Tang Xi's negotiation with himself, in the end he had to admit that a large part of the reason why Tang Xi came to him was probably for the benefit of Daqian...... Thinking about the time when my sister first ascended the throne, Daqian was ready to move, and now I am afraid that she has a different heart again.

In the end, he still didn't continue to marry or not marry Tang Xi, and only said lightly, "Bring down Jiang Zizhong, give Sheng Gu a warning, as for your request, I agreed, Sui Gong, I will order a reduction of 20%." ”

Tang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, watching Feng Lie's changing expression, and felt that the other party's thoughts in her heart should be leaning towards the direction she wanted, and this fright was finally not in vain.

Sending Feng Lie away, facing Qingshuang Bailu's searching gaze, Tang Xi smiled lightly, "The emperor just said that in order to reward me for helping him get rid of Jiang Zizhong, he will reduce Daqian's annual tribute by two percent." ”

Qingshuang Bailu was startled, and a look of surprise immediately flashed on his face, "Really? This...... Does this mean that your status in the emperor's heart is high enough? ”

For a moment, both of them had the illusion that their goal was about to succeed, "Princess, you are working harder, and now the emperor is even willing to give you this kind of reward, which is enough to show that he values you!" ”

In the past, the two of them still had a lot of complaints about Tang Xi's performance, thinking that her so-called tricks of wanting to capture and indulge were useless, but they didn't expect to see the effect so quickly! It's still such a big surprise!

The two of them were excited enough, and Qingshuang immediately said, "I'll go and tell the emperor the good news!" After speaking, he ran upside down, Bai Lu was not far behind, "Princess, I'll go over too!" ”

It wasn't until the two of them left that Tang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, killing two birds with one stone, she had seen Qingshuang Bailu's dissatisfaction during this time, and today she was able to use this incident to dispel the suspicions of the two together, which was really an extra surprise for her.

After that, things were much simpler, Tang Xi got the sweetness given by Feng Lie's side, so he naturally bit it to death and didn't let go, Sheng Gu had no other way, so he could only agree to Feng Lie's request in the end, and demoted Jiang Zizhong to his official position and demote him to a commoner, never to be used again.

Jiang Zizhong is abolished this time, as soon as he falls, some of the things he did before will be known by the old emperor of Sheng Gu one after another, and then he should understand why Feng Lie has to deal with Jiang Zizhong, this is to knock the mountain and shock the tiger, and the ultimate goal is to warn Sheng Gu'an to divide a little.

The old emperor of Sheng Gu had no ambitions, so after Feng Lie's warning, he must clamp his tail and be a man, and as long as there is no accident in the future, there will be no more threat to Feng Yuan.

Sheng Gu's people took Jiang Zizhong away, and as soon as the front foot left, Feng Lie made a holy decree on the back foot, reducing Daqian's annual tribute by two percent.

After that, Tang Xi lived a leisurely life, until Ying Yi told her that Shangguan Yu had returned.

Tang Xi lives in the palace, the palace is heavily guarded, and Ying Yi naturally can't stay inside, so he has always been outside the palace, and every time Tang Xi goes out of the palace to visit, he will protect in the dark, which is the first time to talk to him.

At that time, Tang Xi was sitting in the carriage, and as soon as she came out of the palace gate, Ying Yi came in, and she was startled at that time, and almost shouted out, but fortunately, she saw that it was Ying Yi, so she swallowed back the scream that came to her mouth.

When Ying Yi said that Shangguan Yu was back, she was still a little weak-hearted, did Ying Yi know that Shangguan Yu had returned to Daqian?

So she coughed lightly and said tentatively, "How do you know she's back?" ”

Eichi snorted softly, "No need to tempt, I know where she went." ”

Tang Xi immediately stopped talking, okay, it seems that Shangguan Yu was discovered, but I don't know if Ying Er found anything?

Thinking about it, Tang Xi couldn't sit still, and said to the coachman outside, "Let's go to Chunhelou for dinner today, I heard that the dish is good." ”

Chunhelou is the restaurant opened by Shangguan Yu, and the backyard is the base of the Return Pavilion, since Shangguan Yu is back, then go over there, and naturally have the opportunity to meet her.

After instructing the coachman, Tang Xi glanced at Ying Yi, who was still in the car, and couldn't help asking, "How is your master?" ”

Keichi was silent for a moment, and then said, "It's okay, the master doesn't have to worry about it." ”

Tang Xi pursed her lips and stopped talking, she knew that it was the same sentence when she asked, that guy, even if it was not good, I am afraid he would not tell her.

After a while, Tang Xi sighed lightly again, "Shadow Er is back with him?" ”

"Well, I received the news yesterday and I've come back."

Tang Xi licked his lips a little nervously, I don't know if he found anything? However, this is obviously not suitable for Ying Yi, so she can only be patient and wait until she sees Shangguan Yu to ask clearly.
