When Yan Qing returned to the Drunken Immortal Tower, all the gentlemen had already drunk almost enough.

When Cheng Chu saw him coming back, he immediately said, "Brother Yan, why have you been there for so long?" Brother thought you weren't coming back. ”

Yan Qing looked at the people who had drunk down, and stood at the door with disgust, "Since you have almost drunk it, let's disperse!" ”

Cheng Chu stood up slowly, came to the door, and hooked Yan Qing's shoulder, "Brother Yan, you quietly tell your brother, are you afraid that your sister-in-law will be taken away by Wen Xingzhi, so you ran to stop it?" ”

Yan Qing's face darkened, and he brushed his hand away, "Get out." ”

Cheng Chu sighed, "Brother Yan, I can't see it, you see that your sister-in-law is quite tight." ”

Yan lightly raised his foot and kicked him, "I won't speak and shut up." ”

He was either afraid that she would be taken away by Wen Xingzhi, or he felt that since he had become his fiancée, he had to have the consciousness of his fiancée, how could he casually share a room with a man to eat and chat? Since he saw it, he naturally wanted to remind him.

Cheng Chu would have shut up if he had been in the past, but now he drank a lot, even if he was kicked lightly by the banquet, he still stepped forward, "Brother is too curious, what did you do after you went to Yanyunfang, so long before you came back?" ”

Yan Qing doubted how such a disgusting guy could live so big, didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned around and left.

Cheng Chu shook his head and said to the crowd, "Did you see it?" Did Brother Yan have a daughter-in-law and forget his brother? He hates us now? ”

Yi Yi reminded him, "If it weren't for Brother Yan, how much more money would it cost us to eat in this Drunken Immortal Building?" Brother Cheng, you are drunk, you can speak quietly, don't be heard by Brother Yan, be careful that you won't even be able to enter the door of Duanjing Houfu in the future. ”

Cheng Chu shrank his neck, decisively didn't mention this stubble, and asked a few stalks, "Hey, how many of you have birthdays, what gift did Brother Banquet give you this time?" ”

A few people said proudly, "Each person has 20,000 taels of silver, and Brother Yan knows that the brothers are strapped for money, so they sent it to their hearts, and they are generous." ”

Cheng Chu was envious and jealous, "It's good to be rich." ”

He is poor now, and it is no longer the time to be rich, and his eyes can shine when he sees silver.

After Wen Xingzhi returned to Wen's house, he called Wen Xirou to the study.

Wen Xirou didn't know what Wen Xingzhi was calling her for, so she came to the study with a slight heart.

Wen Xingzhi saw Wen Xirou and got straight to the point, "You went to Yanyunfang today and saw Ling Hua?" ”

Wen Xirou nodded, "I see." ”

"What did you say?" Wen Xingzhi asked lightly.

Wen Xirou looked at Wen Xingzhi, "Why does my brother suddenly care about my affairs?" I was tired of shopping, I went to Yanyunfang for dinner, and I happened to meet Miss Ling in the inventory, so I got to know each other, as for what I said, we don't know each other, it's just some gossip about you coming and going. Brother wants to ask? ”

Wen Xingzhi looked at her, "Second sister, what kind of character you have been since you were a child, I know it, I know what kind of person you are, I also know it." ”

The implication is that you go to Yanyunfang today, and I know if Ling Hua met by chance, and you can't hide it from me.

Wen Xirou's heart tightened, and she shut up and didn't answer.

Wen Xingzhi looked at her, "Although you are very good at covering it up, I can already see that you are not willing to marry into the East Palace?" ”

Wen Xirou's hand clenched tightly in her sleeve, "My brother has been smart since he was a child, and my sister is very curious, what are you looking for Miss Ling for?" ”

Wen Xingyi smiled, his eyes as light as floating clouds, "I was looking for her, naturally I wanted her to ruin the marriage of Duanjing Houfu." ”

Wen Xirou was taken aback, she didn't expect Wen Xingzhi to find Ling Hua's purpose for this, she was puzzled, "What does the marriage of Duanjing Houfu have to do with my brother?" ”

"Naturally, it has a relationship." Wen Xingzhi twisted his jade wrench, "Let me guess, you don't want to marry the prince, so, ask Ling Hua for help?" ”

Wen Xirou was silent, she knew that her brother was too smart, but she didn't expect that she had been hiding it well, hiding it from her father, but she still couldn't hide it from him.

Wen Xingzhi looked at him, "Give me a reason, the reason why you don't want to marry Xiao Ze." ”

"If I say it, will my brother help me?" Wen Xirou asked.

Wen Xingzhi raised his eyebrows, "So, the conditions you gave were not enough, and you didn't let Ling Hua promise to help you?" ”

Wen Xirou closed her mouth again.

Wen Xingzhi said slowly, "If the reason you give can make me see the value, I can help you." ”

Wen Xirou stared at Wen Xingzhi, "What kind of reason is that my brother can see that it is more valuable than letting me marry into the East Palace?" ”

"Then it depends on whether the prince of the East Palace is worth it, or your reasons are worth it."

Wen Xirou shook her head, "My reasons are not as valuable as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

Wen Xingzhi's expression was light, "That's not accurate." ”

Wen Xirou said decisively, "My brother guessed wrong, I didn't plan not to marry into the East Palace." ”

"Oh?" Wen Xingzhi shook his head, "Sister is saying, I guessed wrong?" Did you see you wrong? ”

Wen Xirou shook her head, "Brother guessed correctly, I don't want to marry into the East Palace, but I won't marry if I don't want to." I will marry into the East Palace. ”

Wen Xingzhi narrowed his eyes, looked at Wen Xirou for a long time, and saw that her eyes were full of Mu Ran, he raised his eyebrows, "Since my sister doesn't need my help, then forget it, you are ready to get married!" ”

Wen Xirou nodded, blessed her body, and walked out of the study.

After walking out of the study, Wen Xirou let go of her hand, the nails hidden in her sleeves made a few deep marks on her palms, she smiled woodenly, and scattered the hope in her heart.

She believed that Ling Hua didn't lie to her, even if she tried everything possible not to marry Xiao Ze, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to marry the person she wanted to marry.

In that case, what are you doing if you don't marry Donggong?

As long as she doesn't go out of the Wen family, she will be controlled by her father and brother, and she won't marry into the East Palace, so if she turns her head around, she will marry someone she doesn't want to marry, so why bother tossing and turning?

At least, the position of the crown princess of the East Palace will make it much easier for her to act.

After Wen Xirou left, Wen Xingzhi sat alone in the study and played against himself.

After a game of chess, he shouted, "Shadow." ”

A shadow-like figure appeared in the study, "Childe." ”

"Invite Zhuli to the capital." Wen Xingzhi commanded.

The Shadow should be.

Ling Hua returned to Ling's house, entered the house, changed into convenient clothes, and began to sit at the table to embroider the wedding dress.

Seeing that she didn't stop for a moment, Liuli said distressedly, "Miss, there are still two months, why are you in a hurry?" If you go on like this, you beware that the candles in the cave room are tired and sick. ”

"Don't curse me." Ling Hua glared at her, "Wen Xingzhi is about to make a move, I have to hurry up and embroider the wedding dress, otherwise I am afraid that I will not have time to embroider again, so I can only hand it over to the embroiderer." ”

Liuli also knew how powerful Wen Xingzhi was, so she immediately sat down and helped her divide the line, "Everyone in the Wen family is weird." Could it be that it is a matter of water and soil in Youzhou? ”

Ling Hua smiled, "The Wen family in Youzhou can climb to the position where they now hold military power, and they have their own way of survival, and they are unique in the upbringing of their descendants." ”

Liuli pouted, "Even the humanity that taught is almost gone." ”

Ling Hua was noncommittal, "A family is too heavy on power and profit, this is the inevitable result, just like the Anguo Mansion, the family has such a strange appearance as Qin Huan, but it seems out of place." ”

Speaking of Anguo Mansion, Liuli said, "Anguo Mansion is preparing to withdraw from the capital and return to his hometown this month, and as Miss expected, there is no place in the capital." ”

Without the protection of the Ling family, although it was not suppressed, but there are many people who see the Anguo Mansion as easy to step on, you kick me and I kick it, there is no angry descendant in the Anguo Mansion, not to mention the loss of the title by the impeachment of the Yushitai, it is difficult to make a living, can you only go back to your hometown?

Ling Hua nodded, "With Qin Huan accompanying you, the fourth brother has been studying very seriously lately, right?" ”

Liuli pursed his lips and smiled, "The fourth prince is several times more serious than before, once he relaxes, the righteous son will urge him on the side, and he will be annoyed to death." ”

Ling Hua also laughed, "I really didn't misunderstand Qin Huan. ”

Liuli sighed, "The righteous son has grown up under the watchful eyes of his wife since he was a child, except for the delay of a year in his schoolwork, in the previous years, he did not fall behind at all, he is still smart, and the things he learns are solid, even the third son said that he will definitely be able to go to high school in the golden autumn." ”

"But even if he can go to high school and enter the court for the first time, I'm afraid he won't be reused by His Majesty." Ling Hua pondered, "Now that she has become a member of the Ling family, Your Majesty will definitely not let him stay in the capital, enter the officialdom of the capital, give me help, and arrange for him to be released, I have to think about finding a place for him to be released, which can not only temper people, but also not too hard, not too remote and desolate, but also help me." ”

"But didn't Your Majesty agree to put the fourth prince in front of the palace?" Liuli was puzzled, "Your Majesty is still afraid that the righteous son will become your help?" ”

"That's different, the fourth brother is originally a member of the Ling family, and Qin Huan will go out of the Ling family to set up another door and become a mansion of his own in the future." Ling Hua threaded the needle, "Your Majesty will not let me break the balance with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, haven't you noticed that the Crown Prince has been thinking about it behind closed doors recently, and His Majesty has not invited me to the palace very much?" ”

Liuli suddenly.

This is His Majesty's check and balance.
