Chapter 396: Confession
Xie Chengli said very little along the way, basically Yan Liu was talking alone, but Yan Liu didn't feel embarrassed at all, she felt that it was a very happy thing to be with the person she longed for.
Finally arrived at the edge of the West Lake, the carriage stopped steadily, and with Xiaolan's support, Yan Liu got out of the carriage, and Xie Chengli followed suit.
The symbol of King Rong's Mansion The people of Yangzhou City still know each other, and they are even more familiar with Yanliu, seeing this county lord who was held in the palm of his hand by the prince, many people also came up to say hello.
"The county lord also came out to relax today?"
"Yes, old man."
The old man saw Xie Chengli behind Yan Liu at a glance, and said with a smile: "This son with an extraordinary temperament must be the county lord's sweetheart, right?" is worthy of being the county lord, this future uncle is so handsome, and the county lord is really a talented woman, a natural pair! ”
The old man's words also attracted the echo of the people around him, although Yan Liu listened to joy in his heart, but he was also worried that Xie Chengli would not like it, so he carefully observed the other party's expression, but he didn't expect that Xie Chengli would directly refute it.
"This old man is not the county lord's sweetheart, nor is he the future uncle of King Rong's mansion, please don't make this kind of joke, so as not to ruin the county lord's reputation."
The old man paused, and looked at the two of them with some embarrassment, "So that's the case, but my wife is clumsy, and I hope this son and the county lord don't mind." ”
After this scene, the people around him gradually dispersed, and the good atmosphere between Yan Liu and Xie Chengli was also broken, Yan Liu naturally complained in her heart, but she also understood that this could not be blamed on Xie Chengli, after all, what he said was right, if you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for not being able and not being able to get his like.
The two came to a pavilion by the West Lake, where a maidservant made a pot of hot tea and poured a cup for each of them.
"Mrs. Xie is still used to drinking this tea?"
Xie Chengli took a sip slightly, the tea tasted very fragrant, "Good tea." ”
Yan Liu smiled again, "It's good if Mrs. Xie likes it, when you go back another day, I'll ask someone to prepare some for you to take back." ”
"Then thank you, Lord County."
Yan Liu thought about it and found that he really didn't know what to talk about with Xie Chengli, and then after thinking about it, he talked about Xie Chengli's visit to Yangzhou this time.
"I heard my father say that Mrs. Xie came here to borrow grain from Pingzhou County, and I have heard about the disasters suffered by the people of Pingzhou County, and the actions of those corrupt officials are really outrageous!" Although Yan Liu is just a woman, because she is quite favored by Lord Rong, she never avoids her when she talks about things on weekdays, and over time, she knows some things.
"County Lord, the matter in Pingzhou County is just a microcosm, in other places in Dayan, it is very likely that such things are happening, but we don't know."
"But, wouldn't Your Majesty take care of such a thing?"
Xie Chengli smiled, "Tube? County Lord, this kind of thing is not something that Your Majesty can manage if you want to, how many cities and counties there are in Dayan, Your Majesty is trapped in that small imperial study all day long, and the information she receives from outside is all from ministers from various places, but if those ministers, one by one, protect each other and stop this matter, you say, where does Your Majesty know? ”
Yan Liu actually only seems to understand the affairs of the court, but when she listened to Xie Chengli's words, she always felt that something was wrong, and Xie Chengli's feelings for His Majesty seemed to be a little different.
But then she suddenly realized that this Xie Chengli is His Majesty's concubine, and this feeling is naturally different.
"Pingzhou County is not far from Yangzhou, such natural and man-made disasters have occurred, we should naturally help, but my father always says that it is not yet the time to send food, Mrs. Xie, do you know why?" Yan Liu directly told her conversation with Rong Wang Ye without any scheming.
And this made Xie Chengli sneer in his heart.
Why? Naturally, in order to obtain benefits that are beneficial to himself, let himself accompany Yan Liu is probably only a small part of it, what this old fox really wants, I am afraid it has not been put forward yet.
Of course, these naturally can't be told to Yan Liu.
Xie Chengli just shook his head and said, "The prince must have the intention of the prince to do this, and I can't guess this." ”
"Don't you even know Mrs. Xie? It's weird. ”
Regarding the affairs of the court and politics, Yan Liu actually only seems to understand it, and she doesn't really want to talk about it, after all, her father once warned her not to talk nonsense to outsiders, so she diverted the topic.
"Last time I went to Kyoto, I saw the woman next to Mrs. Xie, but Mrs. Xie's sweetheart?"
Although Yan Liu already had the answer in her heart, she still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that Xie Chengli would no longer have that woman in her heart. But the end result disappointed him.
Xie Chengli nodded and smiled, "What the county lord said is right, I fell in love with her at first sight, and I have agreed with each other for life, I will not marry her in this life, although now for some reasons, we are not able to be together, but I believe that one day these mountains in front of us will be stepped on one by one by us!" ”
This is the first time Yan Liu has heard Xie Chengli say love words, it is so beautiful and affectionate, but it is a pity that these affections do not belong to her after all.
She finally understood why Xie Chengli promised to come out today, in fact, to talk to her.
Yan Liu sighed deeply, and then pretended to be relaxed and said: "I really envy her so much, to be so affectionate from Mrs. Xie, she must be a very good person, right?" ”
"Yes, she's really good."
is so good that as a woman, she carried the entire Dayan.
Xie Chengli saw Yan Liu's lost expression, perhaps because he was in a good mood, and comforted him out loud, "County Lord, I am deeply honored to be able to get the love of the County Lord, County Lord, you are also a very good person, there are many men who are better than me in this world, but I need the County Lord to find out, I wish the County Lord can find Ruyi Langjun as soon as possible." ”
Yan Liu laughed, her bright smile seemed to be warmer than the warm sun in this winter, and she said, "This is nature! I'm the sixth girl of King Rong's Mansion, and it's not a matter of time before I find my wishful husband? But since this is Mrs. Xie's kindness, then I also understand it. ”
Although he is smiling and talking, there is still some pain in his heart, is it sad? It's more unwilling.
