Chapter 67: Honesty (2nd Update)
Wen Xirou's favorite Second Highness Xiao Zhen?
Ling Hua suspected that she had misheard, Xiao Zhen was a little pitiful before he was ten years old, and after the age of ten, life was a little better with her grandfather's secret help, and after her grandfather died, she also grew up, took over the industrial power in her grandfather's hands, and began to really support him.
In her memory, Xiao Zhen has not been highlighted for so many years, he was like a transparent person when he was young, and when he grew up, he learned to hide himself, no matter how martial arts, he was mediocre, and he didn't dare to snatch the aura of the crown prince Xiao Ze.
Therefore, now that Wen Xirou said that she liked His Royal Highness Xiao Zhen, she was really a little confused.
Where did Xiao Zhen make her like? When did she meet Xiao Zhen? Didn't you say that Wen Xirou had never been out of the Wen family in Youzhou? As far as she knew, Xiao Zhen had never been out of the capital.
She suppressed her surprise, even if she was shocked in her heart, she didn't show it, she still looked at Wen Xirou with an expression, and her voice didn't change in the slightest, "As far as I know, Miss Wen Er should have never been out of Youzhou, right?" His Royal Highness has never been out of the capital? Could it be that Second Miss Wen has been to the capital, when has she met His Royal Highness? β
You can't just like someone who hasn't met another person and just like that person.
Wen Xi judo, "I've been to the capital. β
Ling Hua blinked and listened.
Wen Xirou recalled, "Five years ago, my eldest sister had a strange disease, and asked the Taoist priest to do it, saying that she was entangled by evil ghosts, and that she wanted to have a loved one to come to the capital Jiuhua Temple to chant for half a year, and my mother secretly sent me to the capital, and lived in Jiuhua Temple for half a year. Once I saw the second highness who accompanied the queen mother to incense in Jiuhua Temple. β
Her tone returned to calmness, "My mother loves my eldest sister, so naturally she won't let people know that her eldest daughter has a strange disease, so she secretly changed my identity and sent me to Jiuhua Temple, and it was also the only time I went out of the inner house in Youzhou, but there were people around me who watched everything I arranged, and I was not allowed to leave Jiuhua Temple for half a step, and after the expiration of half a year, I was taken back." β
Ling Hua was stunned, no wonder he couldn't find it.
She asked curiously, "Taoist priest practice, haunted by evil ghosts?" Your eldest sister got better later because you bathed in Jiuhua Temple, burned incense and chanted sutras? β
Wen Xirou's face was expressionless, "She just bullied me, I was arranged to leave home to Jiuhua Temple to eat fasting and chant Buddha for half a year, after half a year of hard life, she was satisfied, naturally better." β
Ling Hua: "......"
She couldn't help but wonder, "You're sisters of the same mother, aren't you?" β
"Yes."
Ling Hua: "......"
The sister of the same mother, the whole sister, is still so ruthless? It can be seen that the former crown princess Wen Xiyao has been a domineering and vicious character since she was a child.
Wen Xirou's tone was rarely soft again, "She doesn't know, I am actually very grateful to her, I can leave the inner courtyard of the Wen family, hide her from my mother and stay away, even if I eat fast and pray Buddha, I feel happy in my heart." What's more, I also met His Royal Highness II, at that time, he was just growing up and was still a teenager. β
"What did he do to make you happy?" Ling Hua asked.
Wen Xirou shook her head, "He didn't do anything, he just stood there, very quiet, like a painting, I just think it's very desirable." β
Ling Hua: "......"
Xiao Zhen's performance in front of outsiders, pretending, in fact, his essence is far from a quiet painting.
She didn't know what to say for a moment, and fell silent again.
Wen Xirou looked at her, "Miss Ling doesn't believe it?" What I say is true. β
Ling Hua shook his head.
It's not that she doesn't believe it, it's two or three months ago, when she just returned to Beijing from other places, because she heard that His Majesty wanted him to marry the second daughter of the Wen family, Xiao Zhen resisted to death, and her expression was angry and gloomy, and she couldn't help but jump up and lift the roof.
If he knew that Wen Xirou liked him, he didn't know how to feel.
Over the years, she has fought with the East Palace, with the Wen family who supported the East Palace, and the Wen family has been indispensable in countless assassinations. Although she made Donggong tricky and ruined many plans and things in Donggong, Donggong and the Wen family did not make her feel too good, and also ruined many of her plans for Xiao Zhen.
Xiao Zhen knows all this. In order to deal with the East Palace and the Wen family, they secretly paid too much.
The Wen family, in his eyes, is that one day, after pulling Xiao Ze from the position of prince, the first person to liquidate is not an exaggeration to punish the nine clans.
Wen Xirou is bleeding the blood of the Wen family, and now that she said that she liked him five years ago, will Xiao Zhen accept it? She didn't think so.
Wen Xirou couldn't wait for Ling Hua to express her position for a long time, and seeing her contemplation, she asked out loud, "What is Miss Ling thinking?" β
Ling Hua pondered for a moment before speaking, "Second Miss Wen, do you have to marry Second Highness?" β
This time it was Wen Xirou's turn to be silent.
Ling Hua took a sip of tea and waited for her slowly.
After a long time, Wen Xirou shook her head, "I know I don't have this blessing. β
"Why?" Ling Hua asked rhetorically.
Wen Xirou didn't answer, and asked Ling Hua rhetorically, "Miss Ling is against the prince, won't she not choose a way back for herself?" You're supporting His Royal Highness, aren't you? β
Ling Hua smiled faintly, "How could Second Miss Wen think that?" I am a pure minister of Your Majesty. β
Wen Xirou shook her head, "Miss Ling won't, you are such a smart person, you won't choose a way back for yourself, the world knows that you are against the East Palace like this, the prince hates you and hates your teeth, you should know that once Your Majesty ...... The prince won't let you go. β
"I have already begged Your Majesty for a gold medal for avoiding death." Ling Ping's tone did not change, "As long as I don't rebel and there is a gold medal for avoiding death, the new emperor can't touch me." β
Wen Xi judo, "For His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there is a gold medal for avoiding death, which can protect you for a while, but it can't protect you for a lifetime." If the emperor wants to kill a person, there are means to kill him, and he doesn't have to be above board. β
Ling Hua bent the corners of his mouth, "Second Miss Wen understands the prince very well?" β
"The eldest sister likes to show off to me, and since she married into the East Palace, she often writes to me, and between the lines, I can also get a glimpse of what kind of person the prince is." Wen Xirou was not shy about saying this to Ling Hua, she came to Ling Hua sincerely to help her today, so her attitude was very sincere.
Ling Hua said slyly, "In addition to the Second Highness, there are other princes, what does the Second Highness want, the talent is mediocre, why should I support it?" If you want to support, I am supporting the Fourth Highness, the Fourth Highness is ten years old this year, if the status of the concubine is not high or low, just take it, Your Majesty is in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is completely okay for the Fourth Highness to grow up. I can also have years of kung fu to cultivate the Four Highnesses. β
Wen Xirou shook her head, "The person you support is Second Highness." β
Ling Hua was amused, "Second Miss Wen, what's the reason?" β
"Intuition." Wen Xirou looked at her, "Does Miss Ling trust a woman's intuition?" When I mention the Second Highness, even if your face does not change at all, and your demeanor does not change at all, I still feel that you have a great friendship with the Second Highness. β
Ling Huaxiao, a woman's intuition, is it so keen?
About!
She simply admitted directly, "Miss Wen Er is really a smart person. β
Wen Xiyao didn't expect her to admit it, after all, such a big matter, for a while, there was a faint excitement in her mood, "Since the person supported by Miss Ling is His Royal Highness, you believe me, I can help you." β
Ling Hua smiled and shook his head at her gently, "Second Miss Wen, I can't be the master of your matter. I'm not afraid to tell you, two or three months ago, Your Majesty somehow got up with the idea that the Second Highness wanted His Royal Highness to marry the second miss of the Wen family, and when His Royal Highness learned about it, he was almost angry. β
Wen Xirou pursed her lips.
Ling Hua is not afraid to talk more to her, anyway, Xiao Ze will soon know that the person she supports is Xiao Zhen, and he is not afraid that one more person will know, "Also, I propose to let His Royal Highness marry the daughter of Zhou Wu, the general soldier of Liangzhou, Zhou Wu has military power and can fight with the Wen family, but His Royal Highness also refused." β
Wen Xirou was a little quiet for a while.
Ling Hua looked at her, "Although I met Miss Wen Er for the first time, I also felt Miss Wen Er's sincerity, so I don't mind saying a few more words frankly with Miss Wen Er, the person of the Second Highness, because he has nothing since he was a child, so he takes some things very seriously, and will not easily use them as bargaining chips for power and profit, for example, his princess, the sleeping place in the inner garden of his prince's mansion, he will not be mercenary, even if giving up the position of a princess can bring him endless benefits, he does not want it." I support him, not control him, so respect his choice. β
Wen Xirou was silent for a while, and then said softly, "Second Highness likes Miss Ling, right?" β
Ling Hua tugged at the corners of his mouth and said very calmly, "I like my fiancΓ©'s banquet for the little marquis." β
Wen Xirou nodded slowly, "I understand what Miss Ling means." β
