Chapter 21: Expulsion

Xie Yanhe didn't know how he got out of the palace.

Her face was dejected, from this moment on, she really lost the best person in the world who treated her best.

When she got to the carriage, Amber looked at Xie Yan in horror at the tiny wound on her face, and the red blood beads looked particularly terrifying on her white and tender skin.

"County Lord, how can it be...... Who the hell hurt your face?! ”

The appearance of the daughter's family is the most important, if there is a scar in the future, how will the county lord marry.

"Don't worry."

Xie Yanhe said weakly.

At this time, her mind dared to relax completely, her body leaned softly against the wall of the car, her eyes were empty, and tears fell like rain in an instant. From now on, she will be struggling in this capital!

Princess Fuqing is admiring the flowers with a horse in the garden.

The female official Chunxue saw Her Royal Highness the princess sitting in the pavilion at a glance.

Chunxue walked a few steps quickly, and when she arrived in front of Princess Fuqing, she bowed and saluted, and then whispered a message in Princess Fuqing's ear.

When Princess Fuqing heard this, she first raised her eyebrows, and then slapped her hands and laughed: "Haha, this royal brother in this palace is really ridiculous!" ”

Princess Fuqing's happy tears were about to flow out: "Grounded for a month? The prince of a dignified country was grounded by his father, and the palace saw what face he would have in the court in the future. ”

Chunxue pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this, and there was a cheerful energy in her voice.

"Your Royal Highness, it's not all, the young master of the crown prince, Gu Jiuheng, was fined and demoted by His Majesty, and today in the court, His Royal Highness the prince planned to install the cronies of the Northwest Army, but His Majesty vetoed them all, and reprimanded the prince, saying that he was nepotistic and lost the prince's temperament."

"Oh?" Princess Fuqing's beautiful eyes were full of brilliance: "Father really said that? ”

Seeing this, Chu Yan couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, and gently persuaded on the side:

"Wan'er, the prince's position is as stable as Mount Tai, so don't waste your efforts anymore. What's more, in the forbidden period of espionage, even if Wan'er is a princess and is known by His Majesty, this is also a big crime! ”

Chu Yan can understand his wife's knot for many years, but his wife is against the prince of the current dynasty, even if his wife is a golden branch and jade leaf, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

"Cousin, it's man-made, how can you know if you don't try."

Princess Fuqing's attitude was very disapproving.

Father has now put the palace power in his own hands, and Chen Rong's slut wants to take it back from his hands, that's a fool's dream!

has been married for many years, and Chu Yan can guess what is going on in her heart almost with a single thought from his wife.

If his wife is a man, he may still have a rivalry with the prince, but unfortunately his wife gave birth to a daughter.

As for the third prince, his biological mother is just a female slave, from a humble background, and she is a year behind the crown prince, no matter what, His Majesty will not abolish the eldest child.

If the wife continues to toss, she will only make enemies to the new emperor in the future.

With the current status of the Chu family, although he is not afraid of the prince, Chu Yan always has to think about the future of the Chu family and the children under his knees.

"Wan'er, now you are just in charge of the palace power, your name is not right, your words are not good, Your Majesty can take it back at any time. You are a princess, I am a foreign minister, we don't seek merit but no fault, you don't want to make trouble anymore. ”

Chu Yan's tone was not heavy.

If the person in front of him was not the cousin he wanted to marry, and someone else was pointing fingers at his own affairs like this, according to Princess Fuqing's domineering temperament, he would have let the guards drag people down a long time ago.

However, it was precisely because of her cousin that Princess Fuqing's tone could even be called gentle: "Cousin, Wei Jin and I have long been in an endless situation, and I will not sit still." ”

Faced with his wife's disapproval, Chu Yan continued to persuade bitterly: "Wan'er, you are the princess of a country, as long as you are not involved in such a big crime as rebellion, even if the prince wants to do something to you, he has to pass the clan first." ”

"The horse, the palace wants to enter the palace to face the saint, it is not easy for this pot of Song plum to bloom, take care of it carefully."

Princess Fuqing was a little impatient and took the initiative to end the topic.

She held the female official's arm with her hand, raised her eyebrows, and her eyes showed three points of sharpness: "Let people prepare the frame, and the palace will enter the palace." ”

Taihe Temple.

When Wei Zhao's mood fluctuates greatly, he likes to practice calligraphy to calm his mind. But today, I wrote three pages of rice paper, but I became more and more irritable.

He put down the jade pipe lake pen in his hand, and called Feng Ying forward in a deep voice: "Go and find out that Li Mu for me." ”

Emperor Jianyuan casually said the name, even if Feng Ying thought about it, he didn't remember who this Li Mu was.

However, His Majesty had an order, and Feng Ying could only obey the order.

He bowed down and said "yes", secretly thinking that he could only ask his godfather for a while.

"Your Majesty, Princess Fuqing asks to see you."

A little eunuch walked into the hall silently, knelt on the ground, and bowed his eyebrows.

Wei Zhao put the lake pen in his hand on the pen rest, pinched his eyebrows, and said, "Hustle! ”

"Son-in-law, see father."

Princess Fuqing wore a high-waisted skirt with a concubine-colored butterfly and flowers, a silver neon red fine cloud brocade and a silk acacia pattern, a goose-yellow arabesque pattern half-arm, a flower silk brocade shawl, a flying fairy bun, and a gold silk inlaid ruby double luan dotted cui step, and walked into the hall.

It was almost dusk, and the palace people lit all the rows of candles the thickness of a baby's arm on the silver-gilt branch-shaped lamp stand in the main hall.

Princess Fuqing is dressed in a gorgeous costume, which looks more colorful and brilliant under the dazzling light.

"Why did you come to the palace at this hour?"

Wei Zhao motioned for Princess Fuqing to get up.

The little eunuch who had his own spirit immediately moved a chair over.

Princess Fuqing sat down and looked up at Emperor Jianyuan on the throne.

"Father, my son heard that the prince's brother was grounded by you."

Princess Fuqing turned around with a pair of Danfeng eyes, and asked tentatively, "I don't know why the prince's brother angered his father?" ”

"How?" Wei Zhao's sharp gaze fell on Princess Fuqing, with a three-point scrutiny on his face: "Are you here to intercede for the crown prince?" ”

"How is that possible?"

Emperor Jianyuan's oppressive gaze made Princess Fuqing's heart tremble, she forcibly suppressed the trace of fear in her heart, pouted as usual, and said coquettishly to Emperor Jianyuan:

"The father also knows that the relationship between the son and the prince's brother is not good, how can he intercede for him! The son was afraid that his father would be angry. ”

When Wei Zhao heard this, he said "um" in a low voice, and said lightly: "It's quite sensible." ”

Princess Fuqing was overjoyed, but she didn't dare to show it, and she gossiped with Emperor Jianyuan in a homely tone: "Father, when will you find a queen mother for your son?" ”

Wei Zhao coughed and looked deeply at his daughter.

Emperor Jianyuan's gaze was like a deep pool, and when he lowered his eyes to look at people, he had a strong sense of oppression.

Even if Princess Fuqing was the daughter of Emperor Jianyuan, she didn't dare to make a mistake in front of her father.

Princess Fuqing was at a loss in her heart, and was just about to say something to break the stagnant atmosphere, but she heard Wei Zhao chuckle.

Princess Fuqing's heart chuckled, and she raised her eyes secretly.

I saw a pair of bottomless dark eyes of my father, and the curvature of his thin lips seemed to hook: "Are you willing to hand over the palace power that has not been completely covered?" ”

Princess Fuqing was almost clearly planting eyeliner in the palace during this time, and when she heard her father's question, she was in a state of flux, and said with low eyebrows: "The sons and daughters are all up to their father." ”

Wei Zhao lifted his lips noncommittally and said lightly: "I heard that since the county lord Yonghe returned to Beijing, the two of you have been very close. ”

Wei Zhao understands his daughter, Fuqing is a profitless and unprofitable person, and if he is good friends with Yonghe, he must have a plan. It's just that even he didn't expect that his mind was so deeply hidden, and this daughter could guess it.

Wei Zhao felt a pity in his heart, if this daughter was born as a man, there would be nothing to do with the prince.

"Father, son, and Yonghe are friends from childhood to adulthood. I used to be ignorant and had a temper, but now we're all older. ”

Princess Fuqing tried her best to make her smile seem natural, and said with a smile: "As a son-in-law, there are only Yonghe who are qualified to intersect with her son-in-law, except for the two younger sisters." ”

Wei Zhaomo held the mutton fat white jade dragon pattern wrench on his thumb, and his tone was faint, as if he was gossiping with Fuqing: "Did Yonghe tell you about Jiangnan?" ”

When Princess Fuqing heard this, she looked stunned, and asked tentatively, "Father is referring to the Gu family?" This retainer has never heard Yonghe mention it. ”

Wei Zhao snorted lightly, obviously not satisfied with Fuqing's answer.

Princess Fuqing thought for a moment, gritted her teeth and added: "But according to Erchen, Yonghe's relationship with the Gu family should be closer than that of her aunt's family." ”

Fuqing didn't believe that his father didn't know that Xie Yanhe came back to Beijing this time to prepare for marriage, but the eldest princess didn't agree to this marriage.

A touch of deep thought flashed in Wei Zhaomo's eyes.

With his understanding of Mianmian, even if she and Gu Yan had an agreement before, after she confessed her heart, she would never involve Gu Yan again.

But that Li Mu is in some trouble.

Wei Zhaomo's fingers holding the wrench were slightly forced, leaving a scratch the size of a fingernail on the white and flawless warm jade.

Wei Zhao raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully:

"You have free time, you can walk around with Yonghe more, she just returned to Beijing, and there is no one close to her who can talk."

Princess Fuqing didn't dare to show too much caution in front of her father, and when she heard this, she immediately got up and said respectfully: "Yes, the son obeys the order." ”

"Stand down." Wei Zhao waved his hand.

He was not a loving father, and he could only give glory and rewards to his daughters, but not fatherly love.

All of Wei Zhao's feelings, from beginning to end, were only given to Xie Yan and one person.

……

After Xie Yanhe returned home, he cried bitterly while covering the quilt.

Until the futon was soaked, she stared blankly at the azure tent top, and a touching smile slowly bloomed on her lips.

Li Mu, no matter whose chess piece he is, since he took the initiative to enter the game, she will definitely let him seek benevolence.

When he woke up the next day, Xie Yanhe had regained his composure, but his slightly red and swollen eyes slightly revealed yesterday's sadness and despair.

She went to the study and wrote a line of small words on the peach blossom paper.

"Amber, let Steward Chen send it to Li Mu's mansion."

"County Lord, this ......" Amber took the peach blossom note in Xie Yanhe's hand, her expression was a little embarrassed, "Isn't this a private gift?" ”

"Since he and I are already unmarried, we don't have to care about these details." Xie Yanhe put down his pen and ink, frowned slightly, and said lightly: "What about the red kite?" Call her. ”

Now that he has torn his face with Emperor Jianyuan, Xie Yanhe has no patience for this girl who has repeatedly betrayed the master.

"County Lord, the red kite is kneeling outside the door."

Since Xie Yanhe asked, Amber couldn't hide it anymore, so she deliberately didn't mention this stubble, and she also wanted to borrow the county lord's hand to teach Red Kite a lesson.

Xie Yanhe knows the thoughts of the people below. Amber's original intention was also to vent her anger, this kind of small trick to grind people, Xie Yanhe turned a blind eye and passed.

"Let her in." Xie Yanhe said lightly.

The county lord did not punish himself for his careful thoughts, and while Amber secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was even more dissatisfied with the red kite in his heart. The county lord is so kind and generous, the red kite not only does not miss the kindness of the county lord, but also does something against the lord, which is really dampenable!

Amber walked out of the room, glared at the red kite fiercely, and said coldly: "Red kite, the county lord has summoned you." ”

Red Kite had been kneeling outside the house for two hours, and when she heard this, she straightened up and silently followed Amber into the house.

The room was paved with a big red peony grape pattern, and the red kite knelt on the ground with a "poof": "County Lord." ”

Xie Yanhe gently blew the foam in the tea bowl.

Her bright eyes drooped slightly, and her long eyelashes cast two fan-shaped shadows on her jade-white face, like dissolving moonlight and a faint mountain breeze, gentle and quiet.

"Red Kite girl, I can't keep you here." Xie Yanhe said lightly, the expression on his face was calm.

"County Lord!" The red kite raised her head in disbelief, the sword hanging above her head finally fell, the red kite chattered her teeth in horror, and she pleaded, "County lord, please don't drive me away." ”

"Loyal ministers don't care about the two masters, I have never been your master." Xie Yan and Qianqian hooked their lips and said with a smile, "What's more, you just go back to where you should be." ”

"Yes, county lord." Red Kite knew that this matter was irreparable, and kowtowed to Xie Yanhe, turned around and exited the inner room.

After the red kite left, Xie Yan and Chongzhong closed their eyes. She herself is already like a wanderer, where is the qualification to be kind.

Even if she knew that the red kite was gone, Emperor Jianyuan would never forgive this abolished chess piece.
