Chapter 159: News
Xie Yanhe received the news of Wang Ruofu's death the next day, and when he heard the next person report that Wang Ruofu went because of colic, Xie Yanhe was obviously stunned.
Obviously, at the banquet of the Wang family yesterday, Wang Ruofu was fine. If it is said that he has a sudden illness in the middle of the night, this reason is inevitably too pale.
However, the beauty is gone, and there is no need to pursue the truth anymore.
Xie Yanhe is now more concerned about whether the Wang Xie family will make the original rift bigger and bigger because of Wang Ruofu's death, and whether his brother will add another enemy to the court because of his indifference yesterday.
"Prepare pen and paper." Xie Yanhe's peach blossom eyes had a hint of solemnity, and he got up and walked to the desk by the window.
"Mama, you have been paying more attention to the movements of the Wang family these days." Xie Yanhe gave this order, the pen walked the dragon and snake, explained what happened recently, sealed the letter, and handed it to the mandarin duck: "Send it out immediately with a carrier pigeon." ”
"County lord, what's the matter with this eldest girl of the Wang family?" Mama Gong didn't know anything about what Xie Yanhe encountered in the Wang family yesterday, but she instinctively felt that something was wrong.
The timing of the death of the eldest girl of the Wang family was too unfortunate.
Xie Yanhe came back yesterday and didn't say a word about the affairs of the Wang family, on the one hand, he was afraid that Mama Gong would be angry, and more importantly, Xie Yanhe couldn't bear to lose face to his sister-in-law in front of his subordinates.
But now that Mama Gong asked, Xie Yanhe had no choice but to say.
After hearing this, Mama Gong said indignantly: "This Wang family is so unsophisticated! I rushed to let the concubine of the family be a concubine, and I begged to come to you. They are relying on Mrs. Hou's relationship to persecute you! ”
"Mama, I didn't agree, and I didn't save face for the Wang family." Xie Yan and Wen Sheng comforted the extremely angry Gong Mama, she sighed lightly, and said quietly: "If I hadn't refused, Wang Ruofu wouldn't have thought about it." ”
Mama Gong's eyes narrowed slightly, her gentle round face was like frost, and she snorted coldly: "It's that Wang Ruofude's shallow blessings, what do you have to do!" ”
Since the prince repented of his marriage, Xie Yanhe has tasted the warmth and coldness of human affection in the past three years, and he has long cultivated a hard-hearted heart. Wang Ruofu was looking for death, Xie Yanhe didn't even have a trace of guilt in his heart, he just sighed at Wang Ruofu's stupidity.
If she had been as stubborn as Wang Ruofu, the grass on the grave would have grown tall by now.
"Don't worry, Mama, I don't take everything on my head. I'm just worried that the Wang family has lost a daughter-in-law, will they be resentful and stumble on my brother. And my sister-in-law...... After all, she is the niece of her sister-in-law. ”
"County Lord, Mrs. Hou has a clear love and hate, and there is no room for sand in her eyes. If you know that the Wang family is persecuting you, you will inevitably turn against the Wang family. What's more, no matter how close her niece is, she can't kiss her own children. ”
Mama Gong has taken care of Wang Qingyun in the northwest for so long, and she knows what kind of person Mrs. Hou is. Moreover, in Mrs. Hou's heart, there are only Hou Ye and the Xie family. If the Wang family wants to use Mrs. Hou to do something, they are doomed to be disappointed.
Xie Yanhe smiled: "Mama, where do you think of it?" Of course, I know that my sister-in-law will not blame me, but I am afraid that my sister-in-law will feel uncomfortable. ”
Xie Yanhe sighed and looked at the "Banquet Map" hanging on the wall. Silently distracted. My brother has been on the road for half a month, and I don't know when I will get home.
"County Lord, Miss Wu asks to see you." Pearl's crisp, sweet voice interrupted Xie Yanhe's musings.
She raised her eyebrows: Why did Wu Bijun choose to come to the door at this time?
"Let her in." Xie Yanhe turned around and went to the flower hall where the guests were entertained.
……
"The people's daughter asks for peace to the county lord of Yonghe." Wu Bijun followed the maid of the Marquis of Jingping Mansion into the flower hall, she did not squint, and bowed in the direction of the main seat.
"Get up." Xie Yanhe instructed Pearl, "Give Miss Wu a seat." ”
Wu Bijun straightened up elegantly and said respectfully, "Thank you, county lord." ”
Under the guidance of Pearl, Wu Bijun walked to the guest seat, she sat down slowly, her back was straight, and she only dared to sit on the small half of the chair.
"Miss Wu is here today, is there something going on?" After the maid served the tea, Xie Yanhe took a sip of tea, and then spoke slowly.
Wu Bijun's head was always lowered, and when she heard the question of the county lord of Yonghe, she quickly got up, bowed her knees and replied respectfully: "Back to the county lord, the folk girl secretly heard a news, but I don't know whether it's true or not." ”
Wu Bijun's performance is the etiquette that can only be had when meeting the nobles in the palace, one of which is not to look up at the nobles.
Xie Yanhe could naturally see Wu Bijun's restraint, but there was a barrier between her and Wu Bijun's identities: she was the future queen, and Wu Bijun would be the prince's side concubine, she was the king, and she was also the prince's mother-in-law. Therefore, Xie Yanhe accepted Wu Bijun's etiquette very calmly.
Regarding the "news" in Wu Bijun's mouth, Xie Yanhe picked the corners of his lips noncommittally, and the shallow curvature on his face seemed to be smiling, and he didn't seem to have any expression.
"What's the news? Miss Wu might as well speak up. ”
Wu Bijun had already done a good job of psychological construction before he came, and said without hesitation at this moment: "On the day of the Pangu Festival, Your Majesty will have a banquet in the Yudai River. The crown princess intends to make a move at the banquet. ”
Xie Yanhe's eyebrows frowned slightly, and his face as bright as a spring blossom and as bright as an autumn moon instantly sank, and his beautiful eyebrows revealed a momentum of not being angry and arrogant: "She is so bold? You have to kill the king! ”
Wu Bijun's expression froze slightly, should she say that the county lord of Yonghe is really unusual! I actually guessed the direction of the crown princess's "killing the king".
It's not that Wu Bijun looks down on the crown princess, just with the princess's brain, it is estimated that she will not dare to give birth to such a plan in her life.
"County Lord, the Crown Princess's target is not Your Majesty." Wu Bijun hurriedly dispelled this misunderstanding, "The crown princess wants to repeat her old tricks at the Pangu Festival, so that you can fall into the water in full view of everyone......"
Xie Yanhe raised her eyebrows, and her peach blossom eyes showed three points of doubt, and she said faintly: "The crown princess is really painstaking. It's a pity that I won't go to the palace banquet, and the princess's plan is afraid that it will come to naught. ”
Xie Yanhe is already waiting to be married, how can he go out to join in this kind of excitement. What's more, June 6 is the hottest time of the year after the great heat. At that time, there will be a sea of people, either to salute or others to salute themselves, countless communication and entertainment, since you can justifiably be lazy, why not!
Wu Bijun was stunned, it turned out that the county lord of Yonghe would not participate in the palace banquet of the Pangu Festival, so this series of arrangements for the crown princess was really like what the county lord of Yonghe said, it was in vain.
"But......" Xie Yan changed his words, his tone was very kind, "I still want to thank Miss Wu for telling me the news." ”
Xie Yanhe turned to the mandarin duck and ordered, "Go to the warehouse and get a box of Dongzhu over, it can be regarded as my thank you gift to Miss Wu." ”
The mandarin duck retreated.
Wu Bijun hurriedly refused: "County lord, the people's daughter didn't help much, where can you deviate from the county lord's good things." The folk girl deserves it. ”
"Miss Wu, since I was in Jiangnan, I felt that I had a fate with you. I didn't expect that we really had such a ...... Fate. Xie Yanhe's tone paused, smiled slightly, and said meaningfully: "In the palace in the future, I will have to ask you and Linglong to accompany me, and the reward for you will follow." ”
Hearing this, Wu Bijun was immediately excited.
Before coming to the Jingping Marquis Mansion, Wu Bijun was still a little apprehensive in his heart, and he was not sure whether the county lord of Yonghe would accept his overtures.
After all, at this time and that time, in the future, the county lord of Yonghe will be the queen of the middle palace, and even the crown princess will have to act according to her face, and her own little side concubine will not be of much use to the county lord of Yonghe.
What Wu Bijun didn't expect was that the county lord of Yonghe not only had the same attitude as before, but he spoke softly, but he still made people feel soft like a spring breeze, and made it clear that he would support himself and Chu Linglong in the future. How can Wu Bijun not be excited, how can he not be ecstatic!
She forcibly suppressed the trembling in her heart, and said with a grateful face: "Bijun, thank you for the county lord's love." ”
"Okay, I'm not going to leave you for lunch." Xie Yanhe picked up the teacup.
Wu Bijun is very self-aware, whether it was in the past or now, her identity is not enough to accompany the county lord of Yonghe to dine, seeing this, Wu Bijun said goodbye very interestingly.
"County lord, I didn't expect this Chen Rong to give up." The mandarin duck's tone was cold, and in anger, he didn't even call the princess.
"Don't be rude." Xie Yanhe reprimanded the mandarin duck.
She tilted her head slightly, and her gaze fell on Cherry and Basho with a hint of menace, and her voice was warned: "This matter is not allowed to be reported to Your Majesty, I have my own arrangements." ”
The two of them turned pale, and hurriedly responded, "Yes." ”
For the interest of these two, Xie Yanhe is very satisfied. Sure enough, people still have to beat, whether it is cherries, plantains, or vermilion birds, so that the arousal is much easier than the red kite in the past.
As for the princess's plans? Xie Yanhe secretly thought: If the dignified princess falls into the water in full view of everyone on the day of the Pangu Festival, if she is rescued by the guards again, this play must be very exciting. However, how can you not call Princess Fuqing to watch such a good show.
"Come on, prepare the car, I'm going to go to Princess Fuqing's mansion."
……
Princess Fuqing was having lunch with a pair of children, and when she heard that Xie Yanhe was outside the gate of her mansion, she had to let the palace people coax and persuade the two little ancestors to go down.
Instructed her subordinates to change the table for hospitality, Princess Fuqing raised her voice and ordered: "Go and invite the county lord of Yonghe to come in." ”
Although Chunxue went to greet him in person, Xie Yanhe's identity had changed, and Princess Fuqing personally waited at the weeping flower gate in the mansion to show respect.
Xie Yanhe didn't let Princess Fuqing wait for a long time, and soon came over with his subordinates.
Seeing the figure of Princess Fuqing, Xie Yan smiled crisply, with a hint of banter in his peach blossom eyes: "His Royal Highness came to greet him personally, is this a separation from me?" ”
Princess Fuqing walked to Xie Yanhe's side in a few steps, the corners of her lips curled slightly, and said with a smile: "Where do I dare to have a relationship with you." After all......"
Princess Fuqing dragged out her voice and said in Xie Yanhe's ear: "In the future, you are the one who will call me 'Queen Mother'......"
Xie Yan and a snow-like cheek instantly flew up two touching red glows, a pair of peach blossom eyes were rippling, like a shy water lotus, she gently slapped Princess Fuqing's shoulder, and said hatefully: "I'll let you talk nonsense!" ”
Princess Fuqing laughed, she didn't think it was embarrassing to call Xie Yan and a "queen mother", after all, she had already been mentally prepared. It's just that I didn't expect Xie Yanhe's reaction to be so big.
"What are you shy about? You'll have to get used to it sooner or later. After Princess Fuqing said this, she was afraid of being chased and beaten by Xie Yanhe, so she lifted her skirt childlike and ran in the direction of the main courtyard.
Xie Yanhe's face seemed to burn. She stood in place for a while, waiting until the temperature on her face cooled down slightly, and then she lifted her skirt and went to chase Princess Fuqing.
