78. Come and frame me
Feng Lie narrowed his eyes, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, as a princess of a country, she should be as dignified and self-controlled as her sister, and such frivolous words are really disgusting.
He got up with a lack of interest, "I still have something to do, so Concubine Ai will put more thought into it and accompany Princess Xi to choose." ”
Seeing that he wanted to leave, Fu Jinglan hurriedly got up and saluted, "The concubine sends your majesty off." ”
Tang Xi pursed his lips, looking a little unwilling, but after all, he still didn't entangle anymore, and also made a salute, "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”
After the people left, Fu Jinglan showed a slightly mocking smile at Tang Xi, "Princess Xi is too anxious, and she is so provoking Your Majesty in front of the palace, I'm afraid it's not okay?" ”
Tang Xi's face remained unchanged, and he only smiled faintly, "Niangniang is afraid that I have misunderstood, I just told the truth, I have always been honest, there is one thing to say, Your Majesty's appearance is indeed more in line with my eyes." ”
Fu Jinglan picked the corners of her lips, "It's a pity that Your Majesty's heart is not something that everyone can stir, rather than holding such thoughts, it is better to continue to choose a good one from this portrait with the palace." ”
Tang Xi said excitedly, "Niangniang will use such crooked melons and cracked dates to fool me?" I can't look down on that. ”
"It's okay, there are many more here in the main palace, you can take your time." After finishing speaking, she turned her head and glanced at the big girl beside her, "Take a few people and bring all the portraits sent over yesterday, there are hundreds of young talents, and there is always Princess Xi who can look at them." ”
When the people left, only Tang Xi and Fu Jinglan were left in the room, Tang Xi glanced at the direction where the big girl left, and said thoughtfully, "That's your person?" ”
Fu Jinglan smiled, "In this huge palace, it is impossible for me to fight alone. ”
Tang Xi looked at Fu Jinglan and said lightly, "Now that I have believed in your identity, there is only one thing that needs to be clarified." ”
Fu Jinglan raised her eyebrows, "Oh? I've almost said what I should have said yesterday, what else is wrong with Princess Xi? ”
"How do you know about the emperor...... What about the thoughts of the first emperor? ”
Fu Jinglan's eyes moved slightly, and then laughed at herself, "How could I know such a thing?" After all, I didn't know until that day that I was the person I had been trying to imitate. ”
Tang Xi was slightly stunned, and then thought about it again, yes, if she had known these things in advance, she might not have done a good job, but she had been hiding from her, and the moment she knew the truth, her surprised expression was realistic enough, and maybe she could confuse Feng Lie.
"But...... I did notice one thing. ”
"What?"
Fu Jinglan smiled, "The person who taught me seems to be a eunuch, listening to the accent...... is also more like Feng Yuan's people. ”
Tang Xi suddenly had some guesses in his heart when he heard this, Pei Ziqing was taken out of the palace by Daqian's people, since Pei Ziqing could be taken away quietly, then it didn't seem to be difficult to rob another eunuch, although most of the old people who were serving by his side at the beginning were continued to be used by Feng Lie, but in the end there were still a few people missing, maybe one of them was robbed by Daqian's people.
The people who have been following him for a long time, if they have a heart, will notice that Feng Lie's thoughts about him are also normal, so it makes sense.
It wasn't good that there was a fine work in the palace, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then nodded with a little regret, "I see, I thought there would be our people in the palace, and it would be more convenient to act like that." ”
Fu Jinglan said indifferently, "Don't you think it's enough to have me alone?" ”
Tang Xi smiled when he heard this, "Do you think that you really entered the emperor's heart and gained his complete trust?" ”
Fu Jinglan raised her eyebrows, "Isn't the emperor's favor to me now enough to prove it?" ”
"Of course not, do you think the emperor's head is an ornament? A woman similar to Feng Xi popped out of thin air, and he happened to be met by him, so he wouldn't think much about it. ”
"You can rest assured that my later experience has been covered up and done very thoroughly, and the emperor can't find out anything."
"The more normal it is, the more jealous the emperor will be about your origin." Tang Xi said quietly, "I see that you still know how to act with me, and pretend to dislike me in front of everyone, and you think you understand this." ”
Fu Jinglan frowned, "What do you mean?" ”
"It means that although Feng Lie loves you in every way now, in fact, he will never trust you in his heart, so if you get too close to me, then he will immediately know where you come from."
Fu Jinglan sat up straight and hesitated, "I just thought about the problem from the perspective of a favorite concubine, so I didn't give you a good face...... I wanted to find a way to fix it later, but according to your words, wouldn't I have been seen through by him a long time ago, and I couldn't help you at all? ”
Tang Xi pursed his lips, "No, now that the emperor clearly knows that you have a problem, as long as you stand on the opposite side of me, then the emperor will slowly trust me." ”
"The opposite?" Fu Jinglan frowned, "You mean to let me make a stumbling block for you?" ”
"Not bad." Tang Xi nodded and said, "Next, do your best to frame me, after all, no matter from which point of view, you shouldn't like me." ”
Fu Jinglan pondered for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "I know, I will find a way to send someone to inform you after thinking of a plan." ”
Tang Xi shook his head, "You don't need to inform me, only if you don't know anything, can the play be true." ”
Fu Jinglan frowned, "But in this case, if you are really framed by me, won't you have a worse impression in the emperor's heart?" ”
Tang Xi raised his lips, and there was a confident brilliance between his eyebrows, "You think too much, you can't fight me." ”
Looking at Tang Xi's confident appearance, Fu Jinglan said with a slight displeasure, "Princess Xi, don't be overconfident." ”
"Even if you let the horse come, you will calculate that I will lose."
Seeing Tang Xi say this, Fu Jinglan sneered, "In that case, if something goes wrong in the future, don't blame me, Princess Xi." ”
After saying that, she shouted outside, "Why is it so slow? Haven't you brought the portrait yet? ”
Soon after she finished speaking, the palace ladies each carried some scrolls into the house.
Tang Xi looked at it extremely perfunctory for a while, and couldn't help but yawn and said, "Niangniang, there are too many paintings, let me pick and choose, why don't you help me pick a few good ones, see them when you have time?" ”
Fu Jinglan snorted coldly, "Princess Xi is too unreasonable about her own affairs. ”
Tang Xi smiled indifferently, "It's not that I don't care about my own things, but I deeply understand who I want...... In this case, in the face of these people who are destined to have nothing to do with me, I just accompany my mother through the motions, why take it seriously? ”
"You!" Fu Jinglan's face was ugly, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Don't be too rampant, with this palace in one day, Princess Xi will not want to get her wish." ”
Tang Xi yawned, "Whatever, I'm really sleepy today, so I'm going out of the palace, let's come to visit Niangniang another day." ”
Tang Xi left the palace with his front foot, and someone went to Feng Lie to report on his back foot, and Feng Lie showed a contemplative look on his face after hearing this.
Who is behind Fu Jinglan is still unknown, and now there is another Yan Xi with unknown motives, and even if he has no evidence, he still suspects that this Yan Xi is the "dead" Tang Xi, if this is the case, then she is now bent on marrying him, she must have a plan, but I don't know if Da Qian simply wants to tie himself up, or is his ambition getting bigger and bigger?
My sister has solved the internal worries for him, and now the external troubles will have to rely on himself, thinking, he commanded coldly, "Continue to keep an eye on the envoys of the Three Kingdoms, and the people from Beiyang are also about to arrive, they are all closely watched by me, and if there is anything unusual, report it in time." ”
What I am most afraid of is that there will be people in the three subject countries who can't figure out that they want to join forces with Beiyang, and conspiring with the tiger is tantamount to self-destruction, and I hope that the three lords of the country will not be whimsical, otherwise, he will not mind sending troops to destroy their country.
Tang Xi returned to her residence, and heard that the princes of the other two countries had set up a banquet and invited Yan Ning over, she pondered for a while, with Yan Ning's mind that would not bend, if Jiang Zizhong wanted to play any bad intentions, it would definitely be a quasi-child, no matter how he said it, he was also his own cheap brother, and he couldn't let Jiang Zizhong's person with a bunch of bad water bully him, and it would be bad if he caused any trouble to Daqian again.
So after thinking about it for a while, she decided to go over as well.
After that, he took Qingshuang to Jiang Zi's current residence, today's bureau was reorganized by Jiang Zi, Tang Xi didn't have to think much to know that he didn't have any kind eyes, eighty percent came for the strangeness of the reception banquet that day, maybe he had found something.
When Tang Xi arrived, the three of them were drinking wine and enjoying singing and dancing in the hall.
As soon as she entered the door, everyone's eyes were focused, and then the little guy who was guarding the door apologized to Jiang Zizhong, "Fifth prince, Princess Xi has to come in, and the slave can't stop her." ”
Jiang Zi glanced at Tang Xi again, waved his hand at the man, and the man saluted and left.
"Didn't Princess Xi treat this place as your big job? Dare to break anywhere? Jiang Zizhong looked at her with a strange yin and yang and said.
Tang Xi smiled slightly, "Where, it's just that the little guy of the five princes is not allowed to enter, and I have to break in, so I should say that the five princes, don't you take our big cadres in your eyes, and any little guy dares to stop me?" ”
Jiang Zicheng glanced at Yan Ning with a smile, "Brother Yan, although your sister was found from the people, this princess's shelf is not small at all." ”
Yan Ning frowned when she heard this, "Brother Jiang said carefully, this is my family's matter, and outsiders are not allowed to put their beaks at will." ”
Unexpectedly, Yan Ning would defend Tang Xi, Jiang Zizhong's gaze was gloomy for a moment, and then he snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Tang Xi looked at Yan Ning and raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart that this Yan Ning was not too stupid, at least he didn't help outsiders speak.
Feeling Tang Xi's gaze, Yan Ning looked at her, and said angrily, "Why are you here?" ”
Tang Xi bared his teeth and smiled, "I heard that the third brother came out to play by himself, I came here when I was bored, you wouldn't welcome me, right?" ”
Qi Yufeng, who had not spoken, smiled at her, "How, welcome." ”
Although Jiang Zizhong was not worried on his face, he couldn't do too much in the end, so he instructed his subordinates, "Add a chair to Princess Xi." ”
Yan Ning glanced at Jiang Zizhong and said lightly, "Sit next to me." ”
Tang Xi was happy when he heard this, and said in his heart that this is really out of his feelings? I always feel that my attitude towards myself is much better.
So she was not hypocritical, so she sat down beside Yan Ning.
Tang Xi was impatient to sit here more, so he said directly, "Third brother, I see that the singing and dancing here are not much better than other places?" You've been sitting here for a while, why don't you go back? The emperor of the province knows that the princes of the Three Kingdoms will meet in private, and then he will be suspicious of us. ”
Her voice was very loud, without any intention to hide it, Yan Ning felt that she was a little rude, so her brows furrowed again, but after thinking about it carefully, her words seemed to be correct, so she also looked at Jiang Zi again, "Sister She's straighter, Brother Jiang is not weird...... But what she said also has some truth, you see, if there is nothing else, we will go back first. ”
Jiang Zizhong's eyes flashed with a trace of anger, and he glanced at Tang Xi coldly, Tang Xi looked at him without fear, and smiled provocatively at the end, the angry Jiang Zizhong almost couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, but thinking about today's purpose, he still endured this breath, and smiled at Yan Ning, "Brother Yan, don't worry, I do have something I want to ask the opinions of the two of you today." ”
Qi Yufeng's eyes moved slightly, and it seemed that he also thought of what Jiang Zizhong wanted to say, only Yan Ning was still a little confused, and said cautiously when he heard the words, "Brother Jiang, please talk about it." ”
Jiang Zizhong smiled, "At the reception banquet that day, I wonder if a few of you felt the strangeness of the atmosphere?" ”
Qi Yufeng took a sip of tea, "I don't know what Brother Jiang means by being weird?" ”
Yan Ning frowned and was about to speak, but was pinched by Tang Xi, and then preemptively spoke, "Since the fifth prince said this, he must have heard something we didn't know?" Let's be honest, we haven't really seen anything wrong with it before. ”
A gloomy look flashed in Jiang Zizhong's eyes, Tang Xi said this to push the pot on him alone, if this matter was leaked, then Feng Lie would definitely be the first to find himself, but if he could take the opportunity to stir Feng Yuan into a pool of troubled water, it would be worth taking a risk.
So he lowered his eyes and said, "The few of us here, the country is a vassal of Fengyuan, so naturally Fengyuan is good, and we are all good, so I paid a little more attention to the strange situation that day, and then asked people to inquire, who would have ......" He lowered his voice, so he said in a mysterious way, "It really let me inquire about something." ”
"That's ......" Tang Xi smiled, "If it's something secret, don't talk about it for the fifth prince, after all, the more you know, the more dangerous it is." ”
Jiang Zizhong was almost angry with Tang Xi, who had been making trouble, and he glanced at her hatefully, "If Princess Xi is afraid, you can leave, after all, it is a state affair, and Princess Xi should not participate." ”
Tang Xi pursed her lips, when she didn't know what he meant? Don't you want them to be pawns? It's beautiful! Qi Yufeng may not know what to do if he is a smart person, but his cheap brother is not necessarily, if she doesn't stop her, she will definitely be reused by Jiang Zi.
Thinking about it, she glanced at Yan Ning, "Third brother, I remember that the relationship between our Daqian and Sheng Gu is not much better, right?" Why are the five princes so kind to share information at this time? ”
Yan Ning's eyes were still full of curiosity, but after listening to Tang Xi's words at this time, she couldn't help frowning, and looked at Jiang Zizhong's gaze and became vigilant again.
Jiang Zizhong endured it for a long time before he couldn't hold back and didn't beat Tang Xi, but even if he couldn't let Yan Ning do anything on the spot, this information had to be passed on, maybe which lord couldn't help his ambitions? After all, such an ugly thing, as long as it is said, there will be turmoil within this Fengyuan!
So he just didn't see Yan Ning's expression, and continued, "The two of you must know that Feng Yuan's emperor and the former emperor's sister and brother have a deep relationship, right? The emperor died, and the emperor was even more grief-stricken. ”
Qi Yufeng put down the teacup and said with a faint smile, "Naturally, this matter is known." ”
Jiang Zi nodded, and then said mysteriously, "Those two can know...... The emperor's favorite concubine now behaves like a person? ”
Qi Yufeng's eyes moved, and his expression sank instantly, with a hint of disbelief, "You mean ......"
Yan Ning also immediately understood what Jiang Zizhong meant when he heard this, and said in shock, "Can ...... That's his sister! ”
Jiang Zi pursed his lips again, "I heard that the first emperor was brought into the palace when he was four years old, whether it is the royal bloodline is unknown, even if it is really ......" He gave Yan Ning a "you know" look, "Isn't this kind of thing in the royal family?" ”
Yan Ning muttered with a white face, "This ...... This is ridiculous! ”
Tang Xi looked at Qi Yufeng and Yan Ning's thoughtful appearance, and couldn't help laughing, "You also believe this kind of nonsense?" ”
Jiang Zizhong frowned, looked at her with gloomy eyes, and couldn't bear it, "You don't want to make trouble anymore!" ”
Instead, Qi Yufeng glanced at her, and then smiled, "What do you have to say, Princess Xi?" I would like to hear about it. ”
Tang Xi sneered at Jiang Zizhong, "Just because you said that the emperor had indecent feelings for the first emperor?" Then let me ask you, have you ever heard that many women like men will be like their fathers? Do you want to say what they all think about their fathers? It's ridiculous! Taking your sister as the standard to find a wife, this is a subconscious idea of a person who was brought up by his sister, but he was so dirty by what you said, I don't know if you are too dirty in your heart, or are you deceived by others? ”
"You!" Jiang Zi slapped the table heavily and stood up, pointing at Tang Xi with anger on his face, "You shameless woman, don't slander me!" If he really didn't have any other ideas, how could he explain that Concubine Lan was dressed in the clothes of the first emperor that day? ”
Yan Ning subconsciously protected Tang Xi behind him, and said unhappily, "Brother Jiang is so majestic, Yan Xi is my princess, and I can't tolerate others to abuse me at will." ”
Tang Xi stood behind Yan Ning, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Concubine Lan is favored by herself now, and there are some people who are not used to it, so it is not surprising that she is framed like this." ”
After speaking, she looked at Qi Yufeng again, "The Seventh Prince still thinks about it carefully, the first emperor is no longer there, so as long as the emperor does not admit it personally, it is difficult to define whether it is the love of sister and brother or what other ideas, if you want to make a fuss about it, I am afraid that you will fold yourself into it." ”
Qi Yufeng lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, arched his hand towards Tang Xi, and said with a smile, "Thank you Princess Xi for mentioning it." ”
Tang Xi smiled and said, "It's easy to say." After speaking, he patted Yan Ning again, "Third brother, the story is over, we should go back!" ”
Yan Ning nodded and said, "Okay, let's go." ”
Tang Xi followed behind Yan Ning and didn't forget to turn around and stimulate Jiang Zizhong, "If you slander the emperor like this today, we won't talk about it, but the fifth prince should be cautious in the future!" ”
Jiang Zizhong was almost angry, and swept the teacup on the table to the ground, and then saw Qi Yufeng also get up, he looked at him with red eyes and said, "Don't you also believe in that woman's fallacy?" ”
Qi Yufeng smiled faintly, "At least what she said to me at the end was very polite, Brother Jiang still don't bother about this matter, so as not to put himself in, as for today's matter, Brother Jiang can rest assured, I will keep my mouth shut and say goodbye." ”
When everyone was gone, Jiang Zizhong made a lot of fire in the house again, he was almost angry with Tang Xi, obviously it shouldn't be like this, but because of her clever rebuttal, his abacus was all in vain!
Very good, Yan Xi, let's come to the future! You'd better not fall into my hands, or you'll look good!"
Tang Xi was in a good mood and took Yan Ning home, and in the carriage, Yan Ning couldn't help but ask her, "Hey, are you telling the truth?" Is Jiang Zizhong really lying? ”
Tang Xi chuckled, "It doesn't matter if you're lying, what matters is his thoughts, you don't have to be provoked by him, Feng Yuan is the master, Daqian is the servant, how ridiculous the master is willing is is the business of others, if you are nosy, the master will be tired of you, if you are ruthless, it is not impossible to kill directly." ”
Yan Ning frowned, "But if you do it without leaving a trace and spreading the news among the people, it will also be a heavy blow to Feng Yuan...... When the time comes, maybe we can get out of the situation and no longer be Fengyuan's servants! ”
Tang Xi rolled his eyes, "What's the use of getting out?" Our big cadres are too small, even if it is not Fengyuan, it will be Beiyang, what is the difference? Unless you can take advantage of the situation to strengthen your country, but you don't want to think about it, if Fengyuan falls, Beiyang will definitely be the first to pounce and bite, and what will we do when the time comes? So you still don't have to be whimsical and honestly forget about it. ”
Yan Ning carefully combed through Tang Xi's words in her heart, and felt that what Tang Xi said was very reasonable, so she didn't bother with this matter anymore.
Tang Xi saw that he had figured it out, and said earnestly, "That Jiang Zizhong has a bad stomach, you have nothing to do with him, otherwise you will have to help others count the money if you are sold!" ”
As soon as the words ended, the carriage suddenly stopped with a sudden brake.
Immediately afterward, the angry shouts of the coachman suddenly came from outside, "What person? Dare to stop the carriage of the prince and princess? ”
Tang Xi was stunned for a moment, then lifted the curtain and said, "What's the matter?" ”
However, when the curtain was lifted, she saw a familiar figure standing in front of the carriage, and when she met her eyes, there was indescribable anger and sadness in her eyes.
