Chapter 255: The tree is a big move
Quickly returned to the capital, Xie Yaoguang went to Shouwang's Mansion to meet Shouwang immediately after a little repair in Lanxing Tower. According to the usual practice, King Shou was resting in the mansion today, and when he heard that Xie Yaoguang was coming, he didn't immediately summon Xie Yaoguang as usual, but instead sent someone to lead Xie Yaoguang to the backyard of the palace and let Princess Shou accompany him.
I haven't seen Princess Shou for a while, but I didn't expect Princess Shou to be pregnant, and I heard that Xie Yaoguang was here, and Princess Shou came to see her happily. By the way, he also brought Jiang Huaixin's son, and the little boy seemed to like Princess Shou very much, and she kept holding Princess Shou's hand and refused to let go.
"Congratulations, Princess, you finally got what you wanted." Xie Yaoguang pursed his lips and bowed, and his tone was gentle.
"Yaoguang, I still want to thank you." Princess Shou raised her hand to help Xie Yaoguang, invited her to sit down together, and said, "If this child comes out, he should call you a godmother." ”
As she spoke, the maid served tea.
Rubbing the fingertips on the rim of the cup, Xie Yao showed surprise on his face, and then raised his lips and smiled: "The princess tortures me." In the end, it is the princess Niangniang, you are blessed with fate, why does it have anything to do with me. ”
Knowing that Xie Yaoguang was reluctant to mention the events of the day, Princess Shou chuckled lightly and lifted the topic. The two talked about it, and Princess Shou shared interesting things about pregnancy with Xie Yaoguang from time to time, but Xie Yaoguang listened with a smile but did not answer.
Thinking that Xie Yaoguang was still in the boudoir, no matter how smart he was to tell her, he probably didn't understand this, so he changed the topic again, and the two of them talked more.
"Is this child a distant relative of your family, Princess? Look weird and cute. Xie Yaoguang smiled and touched the child in front of him, and said softly.
"It's also a strange thing, the night I picked up this child, I felt unwell, and the doctor diagnosed and treated me and found that I was actually pregnant." Princess Shou's apricot eyes were full of smiles, and she pursed her lips and said, "Did you say that this child brought me blessings?" When I asked him his surname, he didn't know, but said that his name was Yuan Zi...... I thought that it would be good to ask my father to open an ancestral hall in the coming day, and to accept this child into the Xue family tree. ”
Hearing Princess Shou's thoughts, Xie Yaoguang couldn't help but smile. Jiang Huaixin killed the son of the Xue family but was able to use his son to pay off the debt, so the Xue family had to welcome the son of the murderer as an heir to the family tree. When you think about it, it's a brilliant move. Xie Yaoguang couldn't help but look forward to what kind of expression the Xue family would have when they knew the truth. Of course, before this, Jiang Huaixin would not come forward to stop this.
Shu Mei glanced at Jiang Yuanzi in front of him, and Xie Yao's smile was soft and palpable, "The princess has a good idea." I also thought he was a brilliant boy and very likable. ”
The words fell and beckoned to Jiang Yuanzi and motioned for him to sit next to him. Jiang Yuanzi looked at Princess Shou with gentle eyebrows on the side with uneasy eyes, and then cautiously moved to Xie Yaoguang's side and looked at Xie Yaoguang with a restrained gaze.
"Yuan Zi, I didn't bring a gift to you when I saw you for the first time. This jade pendant gives you the right as a gift. As he spoke, Xie Yaoguang took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Yuanzi, and said, "You are a good boy, Princess Shou likes you so much, you can't let her down." ”
However, how old do children know so much, and their mothers have died early for so many years, they are basically taken care of by their nursing mothers, and they rarely see their fathers. It was easy to meet such a gentle and amiable character as Princess Shou, and it was inevitable that I would feel a little closer. At this time, when he heard Xie Yaoguang tell him like this, Jiang Yuanzi nodded and readily agreed.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Xie Yaoguang suddenly covered the ridicule that slipped under his eyes, whether he was still a child, when he was young and ignorant, he just had to be a little kind to him, and he couldn't tell the difference between true and false.
"Aunt Yue, this aunt is so good-looking, it's like a fairy descending to earth." Jiang Yuanzi saw that Xie Yaoguang was so easy to speak, and looked at Xie Yaoguang with a smile in his eyes.
As soon as these words fell, the maids and women who were waiting on the side all covered their mouths and snickered. Looking around, Xie Yaoguang hooked his lips and chuckled, and he didn't care about it.
"You're so sweet with that little mouth." Xie Yaoguang stretched out his hand and squeezed Jiang Yuanzi's face lightly, frowned and pretended to be solemn: "No wonder Princess Shou likes you so much, it turns out that it was all coaxed by this mouth." ”
There were a few more installments in the child's eyes, and he raised his eyes to see Xie Yaoguang with a smile in his eyes and whispered, "I didn't lie to you, aunt!" Yuan Zi really thinks that Auntie, you are good-looking. ”
Xu was amused by Jiang Yuanzi, Xie Yaoguang raised his hand and poked his head, and there was an inexplicable look in his eyes. Princess Shou, who was also amused by Jiang Yuanzi, pulled Jiang Yuanzi back into her arms, rubbed his forehead for him, and after carefully admonishing him, she summoned a maid not far away to take Jiang Yuanzi down for dinner.
Even if Jiang Yuanzi is reluctant to Xie Yaoguang, Princess Shou is as kind to him as a mountain, so he naturally will not disobey Princess Shou's thoughts. He smiled at Xie Yaoguang and obediently let the maid lead him down to eat. As soon as Jiang Yuanzi left, there was a lot of silence around. Tell the maidservants on the left and right to serve new tea, and only after the cakes are made will they go to wait outside the water pavilion.
"Princess, you are holding your back, I'm afraid you have something to say to me, right?" Xie Yaoguang took a sip of tea and looked at Princess Shou with a soft gaze.
"I knew you were smart, and no one could hide anything from you." Princess Shou sighed with her eyes, and her tone suddenly became solemn, "Now that I am pregnant, I am troubled by trivial matters at home, I hope Yaoguang can give me an idea." ”
Hearing this, Xie Yaoguang smiled and said, "You and King Shou are one." It is also my duty to share your worries. ”
If you guess correctly, what bothers Princess Shou should be the Xue family's granary in Hedong. The Xue family is powerful, and they can be regarded as a tyrant in Hedong, bullying men and women and doing all kinds of evil, and more importantly, they are greedy, like leeches attached to the shell of the calendar, greedily sucking everything that can be sucked.
Hearing Xie Yaoguang say this, Princess Shou breathed a sigh of relief. picked out a few key points about the things that annoyed him, hoping that Xie Yaoguang could solve his problems. Wan Er listened carefully to Princess Shou's complaints, and the smile in Xie Yaoguang's eyes deepened.
"I understand what you mean, princess, but the Xue family is a giant beetle to Your Majesty. Your Royal Highness loves the Xue family because of you, but it doesn't mean that you will always protect the Xue family. If one day Your Majesty wants to stretch out a butcher's knife to the Xue family, how about your Royal Highness King Shou? You can't protect the Xue family, princess, you need to keep a long look, after all, your identity in the future is extraordinary. Lowering his eyes slightly, Xie Yaoguang's tone was gentle.
"Having said that, it's ......" Hearing this, Princess Shou frowned and sighed helplessly, "I also know that emperors have always been afraid of the excessive power of their relatives, but looking at the past dynasties, there are any relatives who are not powerful, why is it more and more difficult for me." ”
"Niangniang Tree is a big move, and the Xue family should be restrained and restrained. There may be other effects. ”
