"Is Your Highness going to meet that Xie An?" In a teahouse wing, Ji Hong asked the object of his allegiance, the eighth prince Li Xian, with a strange expression.

"......" Li Xian was silent, holding the teacup, gently shaking the tea in the cup, he was still thinking about what Fang Cai Yingong said.

As Yin Gong said, Li Xian had already thought of what to negotiate with Xie An about this, but the question was, how should he treat the guy who took away his beloved woman?

Even if Li Xian is a well-informed person and knows which is more important than a woman and the throne, he will still be confused when the matter comes.

In response to the evaluation of Li Ji, the Son of Heaven, he is scheming and indecisive, although he is witty, he is indecisive, he drags his feet in things, he is afraid of wolves and tigers, and he has to think twice about everything, which is too cautious, and he becomes cowardly......

Seeing that Li Xian was silent, Ji Hong frowned, lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, the matter has come to this, and you can't use Your Highness's previous set anymore...... Encourage officials from all over Jiangnan to jointly write a letter to impeach the prince of the East Palace! ——Let those people who underestimate His Highness take a look, even if His Highness has no power in his hands, he can still call countless cities and counties south of the Yangtze River to look at it! ”

"Is Mr. Ji inciting Xiao Wang to rebel?" Li Xian asked with a frown.

"As the so-called success and defeat of the king, this is the truth of the world!" Approaching Li Xian for a few minutes, Ji Hong lowered his voice and said, "Contact the Jingxia assassins of Weidi and recruit the experts of the green forest, I think that as long as His Highness ascends to the height and raises his arms, the heroes of the green forest of the three lakes and five mountains will definitely rush to join ...... His Royal Highness is too sharp and introverted, so he is despised by others, who would have thought that even if His Highness does not use an inch of gold and rice, he can still pull up an army of more than 100,000 people? ——A man in the rivers and lakes, outstanding in martial arts. Bringing it together, just the four towns of Jijing, why bother? ”

"Okay, okay, Xiao Wang doesn't plan to be my Li family's unscrupulous descendant......" Li Xian shook his head and said, "In this way, wouldn't it give the second brother the truth?" So that he can deal with Xiao Wang justifiably? ”

"But ......" Ji Hong frowned, looked at Li Xian and reminded hesitantly, "Ji Jing is the territory of the prince of the East Palace. His Royal Highness has made no achievements here, and in his opinion, it is better to return to Jiangnan...... Officials from all over the south of the Yangtze River all looked at His Highness as the head of the horse, and if they learned that His Highness was humiliated when he entered Beijing. I will definitely fight to get this evil breath back for His Highness......"

"This is exactly what Xiao Wang doesn't want to see!" Interrupting Ji Hong's words, Li Xianyi said rhetorically, "Mr. Ji doesn't know that the old people of the Southern Tang Dynasty have not yet completely surrendered, and the Taiping army forces have infiltrated all corners of our Great Zhou. Wouldn't it be a disaster to cause a wall of depression and destroy the centuries-old foundation of my Great Zhou Li family? - Mr. Ji don't say it again, if it is not necessary, Xiao Wang does not want to rely on the heroes of the rivers and lakes and green forests to win the throne......"

Ji Hong's eyebrows furrowed deeply when he heard this. Shaking his head, he said, "In this way, Your Highness has cut off one of your own arms!" ——Li Mao, the king of Xiang, has more than 100,000 lions under his command and sits in northern Xinjiang. Eyeing; The crown prince Li Wei was powerful in Jijing...... And although His Royal Highness has won the hearts of the people in Jiangnan, he has no choice but to abandon it! - Could it be that His Highness intends to give up the throne to others? ”

"Alright, alright." Seeing that Ji Hong became more and more excited the more he spoke, Li Xian waved his hand, smiled and said, "Mencius said, [Those who convince others with their strength are not convinced, and they are not supported by their strength; Those who convince people with virtue will be convinced in the end! ——Hearing that people are persuaded by virtue, the world is admired, and people are persuaded by force, and the world is resentful! ——The fourth brother is domineering, and the little king is kingly......"

Ji Hong couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, and scolded angrily, "Three sentences are inseparable from [Ancient People's Cloud] and [Zhuzi said], you are really reading to death!" ——Over the years, if it weren't for me and others to protect you, a weak scholar like you would have not known where to bury your bones! - Don't you learn your lesson? In this world, not everyone can be persuaded with reason! ”

"That's ......" Li Xian smiled and said teasingly, "Xiao Wang still remembers that Mr. Ji was originally killing Xiao Wang, why was he finally persuaded by Xiao Wang?" ”

"You!" Ji Hong was speechless, thought for a long time, and said angrily, "Yes, yes, Ji is easy to speak, okay?" - Well, I ask you, resourceful Eight Sages, I wonder how you plan to handle the matter at hand? ”

"Well...... this" Li Xian frowned when he heard this, thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "What Yin Gong said is right, what Xiao Wang should be thinking about right now is not how to deal with the prince's difficulties, but about the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Xie An, the Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple, ......."

"What does Your Highness mean ......" As if understanding Li Xian's thoughts, Ji Hong said in surprise, "Does Your Highness plan to clarify the relationship with this person before deciding on the follow-up?" ”

"Not bad!" Li Xian nodded and said in a low voice, "But before that, Xiao Wang is going to meet Sister Xiangyu...... There are some things that Xiao Wang wants to ask to understand! ”

"......" opened his mouth, Ji Hong wanted to speak and stopped, and after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Call His Highness willful again, if this matter does not work out, no matter what His Highness's intentions are, Ji will also call on all the righteous people in the rivers and lakes to compete with the prince Li Wei with real swords!" ”

"Huh!" Li Xian smiled faintly.

After the discussion, Li Xian and Ji Hong went to the eldest grandson's mansion, and at the same time, the eldest grandson Xiangyu was still lying on the bed to recuperate and rest due to the wind and cold.

I have to say that a woman like Changsun Xiangyu is active by nature, even if she is sick in bed, she is not much more peaceful than usual, she wants to listen to a small song today, and she wants to watch a dance tomorrow, which really keeps Xiao Tao and other maids busy.

What's even more speechless is that when Chang went to visit her, this woman was wearing a bedding, stamping her hands and feet to call a maid and a family member to fold a ladder, and climb on the roof to drive away the noisy magpie bird for her.

"You child, you are so sick, why are you still restless?" Angry and distressed, Chang helped the eldest grandson Xiangyu back to the house and lay down on the couch, because he was entrusted by the eldest grandson Xiangyu's biological mother Wang before his death, Chang took care of the eldest grandson Xiangyu as his own daughter over the years, but unfortunately, the latter did not appreciate it very much.

It wasn't until that day that Chang concealed Xie An's private meeting with him in the boudoir late at night for the eldest grandson Xiangyu, which tightened the relationship between the two.

Although it doesn't sound very good, if it weren't for Xie An's shocking behavior that night, how could she become as close to her eldest grandson Xiangyu, a stepdaughter with a bad personality, as she is now?

"My aunt is always worried about this, worried about that. Isn't that good? Different from the past, the tone of the eldest grandson Xiangyu's speech to Chang's family even had a faint coquettish tone, which made Chang's quite flattered.

"Well, let's wait until you recover! INTERVIEWER How do you feel today? The jade finger lightly touched the forehead of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, and Chang said with a chuckle.

I have to say that such an intimate move with his daughter was something that Chang couldn't even think of in the past.

"What else? Suffocated! He sighed. The eldest grandson Xiangyu pouted and said, "Hmph, the man doesn't have a good thing, I told him, and he didn't come to see me...... Eat clean and wipe your mouth, it's over? - Lack of affection! ”

saw that her daughter bluntly complained about her daughter's family. Chang only listened to the red heartbeat on the ground, glanced at the eldest grandson Xiangyu helplessly, and said with a sigh, "You are really this child, this is not what happened, I gave him the most precious thing of my daughter's family...... You don't want to think about it, in case that kid ......."

"He dares!" interrupted Chang's words. The eldest grandson, Xiangyu, said indignantly, "If he dares to bear me, I will kill him first and then commit suicide...... Save yourself from being so angry every day! ”

Seeing her daughter's expression, it didn't seem like a joke. Chang Shi was shocked, and hurriedly said, "What are you in a hurry about, kid?" My aunt is just guessing...... Perhaps, what about the child's busy business these days? - You know that, too. That kid has been busy investigating the murder of the ministers of the DPRK and China a few days ago...... No matter what you say, that kid is also a dignified Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple, a man. When the cause is the priority, how can the children grow up? ”

"That guy? Career-oriented? The eldest grandson Xiangyu couldn't stop giggling when he heard this, and waved his hand again and again and laughed, "Auntie, don't tease people...... What is that guy, my aunt doesn't know, will people still not know? - Lazy to eat, greedy for money and lustful......"

Chang quietly listened to the eldest grandson Xiangyu keep counting Xie An's nos, looked at the inexplicable warm smile on her face, sighed secretly in his heart, and said softly, "Xiangyu, it seems that you really like that child...... Do you know, my aunt is really afraid that you are angry with your father, and you will be angry......"

"......" The eldest grandson Xiangyu was stunned, looked up at Chang's, a little warmth appeared in his eyes, and giggled coquettishly, "No matter what people say, they won't joke about their bodies......"

"Don't you regret it?" Chang Shi blinked his eyes and said, "As far as my aunt knows, that child has a wife, and it is your close friend, the daughter of the Liangqiu family......"

"Auntie is afraid that people will be bullied in the future?" The eldest grandson Xiangyu also blinked and said.

Chang Shi laughed at it, thinking about it, only the eldest grandson Xiangyu has always bullied others, where is the turn of others to bully this woman whose intelligence is comparable to that of a demon?

After thinking about it, she smiled and said, "Yes, it's my aunt who is too worried...... You don't have to rely on your intelligence to bully that child too much, if you bully that child too much, you will be the one who suffers......"

"How can it!" The eldest grandson Xiangyu raised his hand and touched his smooth face, and said with a smile, "Such a beautiful and intelligent person, naturally fascinated that guy!" Speaking of this, she seemed to suddenly think of something, her face showed a little annoyance, and she pouted and said angrily, "I'm so angry, people have obviously told him, and he doesn't come to visit people...... Whose fault does he think people are sick in bed right now? ”

Seeing the eldest grandson Xiangyu hammering the bed with her little hand with an annoyed face, Chang couldn't smile bitterly, fortunately, she already knew that her daughter had always been capricious and freewheeling, so she didn't feel surprised, holding the eldest grandson Xiangyu's hand and chuckling and persuading, "Okay, don't be sulky in your life, you don't want to think about it, just because of you, the child is so stiff with my eldest grandson's family, where is he embarrassed to visit?" Even if you come, you'll probably be beaten out by your father's stick......"

"That's a real delight!" The eldest grandson Xiangyu snorted coldly angrily.

"You, it's just that you don't ......have the same heart," Chang shook his head helplessly, and then persuaded softly, "Just because of you, your father's complexion has not been very good-looking these days, but in my aunt's opinion, even if your father is unwilling, he has to ask you to be the daughter-in-law of the Xie family...... Therefore, listen to my aunt's advice, don't make any more extraneous branches, these few days obediently, when my aunt has time to blow the wind to your father, settle this matter, okay? ”

"Hmm......" The eldest grandson Xiangyu bit his lip lightly, as if thinking about something.

See here. Chang Shi deliberately said, "Didn't you say that you miss that child so much?" - I haven't seen you in a few days, haven't you? You miss him like that? ”

"Who...... Who misses him......" The eldest grandson Xiangyu's face turned red, and he said in a hurry, "Since that guy doesn't want to come to visit people, then don't come for the rest of his life!" ”

Chang couldn't see that the eldest grandson Xiangyu was inconsistent, and said with a chuckle when he heard this, "Since that's the case, I'll be obedient these days." Your father is there, and your aunt will go and persuade you, okay? - Actually, your father, like you, has a cold face and a hot heart. He actually loves you very much......"

"Love?" The eldest grandson Xiangyu sneered, the shyness on his face gradually receded, and he said disdainfully, "It's too late!" - My mother was killed by him, and he still has the face to call me my daughter? Ridiculous! ”

Chang sighed secretly when he heard this, not knowing how to persuade him. I had to keep my mouth shut.

Probably realizing that the atmosphere between the two was a little awkward, the eldest grandson Xiangyu diverted the topic and said, "That's it, don't mention those two angry guys!" - That's right. Auntie, how did you feel when you were a** my father?"

Seeing that the eldest grandson Xiangyu, who was his daughter, suddenly asked such an embarrassing question, Chang's face was red and his heart was beating. Said helplessly, "You kid." How do you ask this? ”

"People want to know," the eldest grandson Xiangyu seemed to be interested, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, my aunt is the daughter of the general soldier of Xuzhou Mansion, how could she meet my father?" - Marry my father, my aunt is also unladylike......"

"You child, how can you say that you are your biological father?" Chang was angry and funny, and he had no choice but to be entangled by the eldest grandson Xiangyu, so he had no choice but to pick some things that were not important and told them.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a tuk tuk knock on the door outside the house.

At this time, Chang Shizheng was telling how she met Changsun Jing, the father of Changsun Xiangyu, and she was so shy in her heart that when she heard the knock on the door, she hurriedly said, "Is it Xiao Tao?" Come on in...... What's the matter? ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Tao, the personal maid of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, pushed the door and walked in, and after saluting, she said, "Madam, Miss...... The courtyard came to report, and His Royal Highness Li Xian, the eighth prince, came to visit and wanted to see the young lady......"

"His Royal Highness Li Xian?" Chang Shi frowned slightly, glanced at the eldest grandson Xiangyu, and said thoughtfully, "Xiao Tao, let's just say that Miss is sick and can't wait to see ......."

Xiao Tao nodded, and was about to retreat, when he suddenly saw the eldest grandson Xiangyu raise his hand and said meaningfully, "Wait!" - Li Xian, come to see me now, hehe, you must be in trouble......"

As if he heard the deep meaning of the eldest grandson Xiangyu's words, Chang asked in surprise, "Xiangyu, do you want to see him?" - My aunt thinks that at this time, it is not appropriate to see His Royal Highness the Eight......"

The eldest grandson Xiangyu knows what Chang is thinking, nothing more than because she has ** Xie An, so naturally she should try to avoid contact with Li Xian, the eighth prince of the former betrothed party, firstly, because she is afraid of an embarrassing atmosphere, and secondly, Xie An may also misunderstand, but I have to say that the eldest grandson Xiangyu thinks more deeply than Chang's.

"Don't get in the way, auntie, I already calculated that Li Xian would come to see me...... I should say, I'm waiting for this guy! - After so many years, this guy still hasn't grown at all, and he has no ......" Speaking of this, the eldest grandson Xiangyu shook his head, looked back at Xiao Tao and said, "Lead it to the outhouse!" ”

"Yes, Miss!" Xiao Tao nodded and left.

Looking at the back of Xiao Tao's departure, Chang frowned slightly, and while helping his daughter in the village dress, he hesitated and said, "Xiangyu, it's not appropriate to see His Royal Highness Li Xian at this time......

As if guessing the concerns in Chang's heart, the eldest grandson Xiangyu chuckled, "Don't worry, auntie, Li Xian's intention is that guy, my daughter has already guessed it...... On the other hand, the matter between his daughter and Xie An's guy still needs Li Xian to deal with it! ”

Seeing the eldest grandson Xiangyu claiming to be his daughter, Chang was stunned, happy in his heart, thought about it, and said in a low voice, "Then you have to be cautious!" ”

Gently patting the back of Chang's hand, the eldest grandson Xiangyu nodded, put on his clothes, dressed up a little, and went to the outhouse to wait for Li Xian.

After a short time, Li Xian and Ji Hong came to the house under the guidance of the maid Xiao Tao, and saw that the eldest grandson Xiangyu was waiting with a tea cup, smiled slightly, and said, "Sister Xiangyu, don't come to harm!" ”

The eldest grandson, Xiangyu, smiled faintly and giggled, "Coward, crybaby...... You're two days slower than the slave expected! ”

Seeing that the eldest grandson Xiangyu called out the nickname he had once been given by her, Li Xian's expression was slightly embarrassed, and he said with a wry smile, "Indeed, Xiao Wang should have come two days ago, but at that time, Xiao Wang was locked up in Zongzheng Temple and confined ......"

As soon as the words fell, Ji Hong, who was beside him, looked at the eldest grandson Xiangyu in surprise and asked, "Miss eldest grandson guessed that His Royal Highness would come?" ”

Under Li Xian's wryly smiling gaze, the eldest grandson Xiangyu snorted lightly and said lightly, "How could you not guess?" - According to the cowardly nature of the crybaby, if it weren't for the prince of the East Palace and Na Xie...... Xie An already has signs of joining forces to deal with you and others, how can he come to see the little girl? Speaking of this, she looked up at Li Xian and Ji Hong, and said jokingly, "It's uncomfortable, isn't it?" [Gyeonggi Third Lieutenant] unite against you and others......"

Ji Hong's eyes showed a little strange color when he heard this, and he continued to ask, "Then His Highness's intention this time, Miss Changsun probably guessed it?" ”

"What's so hard about that?" Playing with the tea cup in his hand, the eldest grandson Xiangyu said lightly, "It's nothing more than a cliché to Miss Ben, and then make it clear whether Xie An should be treated as a political enemy!" ”

Ji Hong opened his mouth, looked at the eldest grandson Xiangyu with a shocked expression, and muttered, "Unbelievable......"

"Looks like I guessed right!" The eldest grandson Xiangyu chuckled, raised his hand to invite Li Xian to take a seat, and after instructing Xiao Tao to serve tea, he looked at Li Xian and said lightly, "Say it!" - Miss Ben has been accidentally infected with the wind and cold these days, and she is sick, but she doesn't have so much spare time to accompany you! ”

"You're still welcome as always......" Li Xian shook his head with a wry smile, and after looking deeply at the eldest grandson Xiangyu for a while, he suddenly put away the smile on his face, and said, "Sister Xiangyu guessed a little wrong, I didn't plan to stir up trouble when I entered Beijing this time, so I didn't bring helpers, otherwise, even if the second brother joined forces with that Xie An, I would not be afraid!" - It's just that in that case, I'm afraid it will make this Jijing unsafe...... That's not what I want! ——I came here this time just to ask Sister Xiangyu a word......"

“……”

"Why Xie An?"

"......" looked at Li Xian's serious and serious expression, and the eldest grandson Xiangyu was silent.
