Chapter 35: The Devil

Xu Jieyu's face was heavy when she heard Zhang Wenyi's words, and she said, "Your family can be called a loyal person." ”

Zhang Wenyi put the fried vegetables on the plate, washed the pot with water, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment, the concubine is very honored." But it's better not to stop at words, and to be rewarded with more gold and silver treasures. ”

Xu Jieyu said with a smile: "You are not polite at all, you will ask for a reward when you open your mouth." ”

Zhang Wenyi also smiled: "No way, the hair of the small family is long and the knowledge is short, and the loyalty, filial piety and righteousness cannot be eaten, and even the sage said that the warehouse knows the etiquette." ”

Xu Jieyu didn't expect that Zhang Wenyi didn't even care about loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness respected by people in the world, so she sank her face at that time and said with displeasure: "Sage Yun: Dunli Sect, far from sin, the people will live long." Therefore, the courtesy of the unbridled pilgrimage is respected; When the suburban temple is established, the mood is solemn; The ceremony of the crown wedding is established, and the order of the young and the old; The rite of funeral sacrifice is established, and filial piety is merciful; The salute of searching and hunting is established, and the army is vibrating; Enjoy the ceremony of the feast, then the monarch and the minister. Princess Jin, if you are rude, how to govern the country, how can the subjects be healthy? ”

Zhang Wenyi smiled and stuffed a plate of dishes into Xu Jieyu's hand, and said, "What are you doing so seriously, I didn't say that etiquette is bad." But no matter how good the etiquette is, you have to eat a full stomach before it can be implemented, who cares about your etiquette when you are hungry. I don't know all kinds of scriptures and history, but I know that I have to seek truth from facts when doing things for others. ”

Xu Jieyu looked at the dishes in her hand, frowning and not knowing what to do. She looked at Zhang Wenyi with a wonderful look, what did she mean: Are you asking me to bring the dishes out?

Zhang Wenyi said with a smile: "This is a lot of speculation, you taste it first." ”

Xu Jieyu still frowned and didn't eat, as if she was thinking about how to tell Zhang Wenyi. But Zhang Wenyi saw what Xu Jieyu wanted to say, she smiled and said: "You were born in a rich and noble family, you must have never experienced the situation of starving for three days and then seeing food, you will not have any attention at that time." ”

Xu Jieyu put down the plate in her hand and said, "You still don't understand, in the royal family, you should respect etiquette and educate yourself, and practice it, otherwise what's the difference between being reckless?" ”

Zhang Wenyi smiled helplessly: "We come from different backgrounds, and our behaviors are also different. It's just that I hope that you and I can understand each other and not impose our own eyes on each other......"

As she was talking, Zhang Wenyi suddenly saw the corners of her yellow robe fluttering in the wind, her face changed, and she quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty." ”

Xu Jieyu is Li Shimin's current favorite concubine, and I saw that she was very curious about Zhang Wenyi just now and wanted to come to the kitchen to have a look. Xu Jieyu was born in a famous family and was quick to think, Zhang Wenyi was not from a high background, but she was also a Confucian businessman, and she was clever. Li Shimin was also curious about whether these two people would spark, so he also quietly followed.

The result of eavesdropping on the corner of the wall is very good, and these two people really live up to expectations. Seeing Zhang Wenyi's uncontrollable trembling body, he no longer had a calm and generous attitude just now, and knew that it was the sequelae after being beaten into the cold palace last time.

Nodding to Xu Jieyu, who was saluting herself, Li Shimin strode towards Zhang Wenyi, stretched out his hand and gently helped her up. With a heavy face, he said: "The last time the emperor was ruthless, I know you are blaming me, but the heavenly family is ruthless!" ”

Zhang Wenyi knelt down again and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that she is from a humble background and should not enter the palace as a concubine, but marrying His Royal Highness the King of Jin is beyond the influence of the concubine. Since marrying into the royal family, the concubines have asked themselves to abide by the women's way and dare not cross the slightest, and if there are similar incidents in the future, the concubines do not dare to beg for their lives, but only want to die quickly, hoping that Your Majesty will approve it. ”

Li Shimin gently stroked the top of Zhang Wenyi's head and said softly: "I promise you that there will be no such thing in the future." ”

Zhang Wenyi saw that Li Shimin did not agree to his request, and he was helpless, so he could only kowtow and thank him.

Li Shimin saw that she was not very interested, and knew that she didn't believe what she said. I couldn't help but feel a little angry in my heart, and looked down at the dishes on the plate. Suddenly remembered that Empress Changsun had been like this before, picking out a few dishes he liked to eat and serving them in front of him.

Li Shimin sighed secretly, except for the poor background and poor literary talent, this child is also gentle and virtuous like the eldest grandson queen. No, the eldest grandson queen does not have the wildness in her.

Li Shimin felt that if you use an animal analogy, the eldest grandson queen is a white rabbit, and this child is a Persian cat. White rabbits are harmless to humans and animals at all times, while Persian cats have sharp claws.

Xu Jieyu ate around the round table for the first time, and it was the first time to eat lunch to be exact. For the Xu family, which has strict etiquette, they have never eaten like this, and Xu Jieyu is a little uncomfortable.

Zhang Wenyi saw her uncomfortable appearance and knew what was going on, laughed dryly, and said, "It's the concubine who didn't think it through, next time I will put another table for Your Majesty and Your Highness." ”

Xu Jieyu smiled and asked, "Why do you like to eat like this, is it a habit at home?" ”

Zhang Wenyi put down her chopsticks, raised her head and said to Xu Jieyu: "No, it feels like home when you eat like this." ”

Xu Jieyu frowned and asked a little unhappily, "Is there a difference in this?" ”

Zhang Wenyi hurriedly explained, "There is a difference in the feelings of concubines, and most of the concubines only eat with their sisters when they are at home. It's not okay to sit and eat with His Majesty and His Highness like this, but the concubines feel that it will be more cordial. ”

Princess Xincheng only ate a small bowl of rice, and she didn't have the heart to eat it again when she saw that Princess Jinyang had finished eating. Zhang Wenyi helped her clean up easily, and let her and Princess Jinyang go to play.

Seeing her look like a little adult, Xu Jieyu suddenly remembered what Zhang Wenyi just said, "The children of the poor are in charge early", and felt that these folk sayings were quite reasonable.

After eating, Li Shimin and Xu Jieyu walked silently and slowly on the way back, thinking about their own thoughts.

"Aifei, what do you think of Princess Jin?" Li Shimin first broke the silence and asked.

Xu Jieyu smiled and replied: "It's a woman who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, if I didn't know that she was younger than me, I would have thought she was an adult woman who didn't grow tall." ”

Li Shimin asked again: "Do you know her life experience?" ”

Xu Jieyu replied: "I have heard a little, and the Wen family should be loyal and righteous people. ”

Li Shimin muttered: "Loyal and righteous people, loyal and righteous people." The most important thing I lack is loyal people! These people are not loyal to me! ”

Xu Jieyu looked at Li Shimin in surprise, and saw that his face seemed to be a little distorted because of anger. Xu Jieyu hurriedly reassured him and said, "Your Majesty, don't be angry, those are just fools." ”

After settling down with dinner and Princess Jinyang and the sisters, Zhang Wenyi returned to her bedroom. I took off the palace headdress, casually pulled a bun and changed into loose home clothes, which felt a lot easier.

After bathing, I always felt that something was missing when I returned to the bedroom, and after thinking about it for a long time, I realized that it was Li Zhi who went on the expedition, and she was the only one to spend tonight. Accustomed to having Li Zhi's company at night, Zhang Wenyi suddenly felt uncomfortable.

In the past life, I was used to being lonely, but in this life I am not used to it. Zhang Wenyi smiled bitterly, took a sip of water, shook off the quilt, turned off the light, silently thought about the day, and slowly fell asleep.

Caiyi watched the movement in the bedroom in the ear room, and saw that Zhang Wenyi was asleep, so she tiptoed into the lobby. She gently pushed open the door of the study and entered, felt the oil lamp on the table, and lit it with the flint and scythe she had brought.

The lights turned on, Caiyi's eyes widened, and she almost screamed out, and behind the bookcase, Zhang Wenyi sat there steadily, looking at her with a smile.

Isn't she already asleep, how can she be here, is this person a human or a ghost?

Zhang Wenyi smiled and said, "Miss Li is still coming to the study so late, is there anything important?" ”

Caiyi heard Zhang Wenyi easily call out her surname, and her legs were weak and she knelt on the ground unconsciously. She was an impostor who entered the palace, so there were very few people who knew her real surname. But Zhang Wenyi directly called out, Li Shengnan didn't know how much foundation the other party had mastered, and he panicked in his heart.

"What's wrong with you, girl? Are you feeling unwell, do you need me to ask someone to take you back? Zhang Wenyi asked leisurely.

Li Shengnan heard Zhang Wenyi's naked threat, and knew that if he didn't say something, he might not be able to pass the test. She gritted her teeth and said, "The maid's family has sent a message saying that they owe money, and if they don't pay it off, they will take the maidservant's sister to pay off the debt." The maid wanted to go into the study to steal some property for a while, but the maid didn't dare to do it next time, and begged Her Royal Highness the princess for mercy. ”

Hearing Li Shengnan's remarks, Zhang Wenyi smiled, and she said, "Miss Li, I can call out your real surname, do you still think that I don't know whose daughter you are?" ”

Without waiting for Li Shengnan to distinguish, Zhang Wenyi snapped his fingers and said, "Ah, your master promised to give your brother a fame, right?" also promised that you could become the first woman of His Royal Highness King Jin, and if your stomach was angry, she could still protect you as a side concubine, right? This time, a group of people around His Royal Highness King Jin have been cleaned up, but you are one of the few people who have been left behind, so you think your master has great powers, right? ”

Zhang Wenyi's three "right" were like a heavy hammer, knocking on Li Shengnan's defense line one by one.

Zhang Wenyi smiled and continued: "Miss Li, if I finish speaking, do you think I still have to keep you?" ”

Li Shengnan prostrate on the ground and said, "But I don't know what His Highness wants to know, the servant must know everything." ”

Zhang Wenyi said coldly: "You are still holding on to the luck mentality, Miss Li, you still have illusions about your master here and now." But do you think of the result of me letting you go? ”

Li Shengnan obviously didn't expect Zhang Wenyi to let her go, she was first surprised and then frightened. Zhang Wenyi's words are threatening, how will she let go of her so-called release?

The lightest only needs to expose her identity, involve her master, and then send her back to her home. The master's anger can be imagined, although the master will not suffer a great blow, but how can he allow a renegade to go unpunished? Because Zhang Wenyi can turn her into a renegade by pushing all the sources on her.

Li Shengnan glanced up at Zhang Wenyi, where she was sitting was an angelic very beautiful little girl, but in Li Shengnan's eyes, she was definitely a devil.
