Chapter XIX: Peace

Xiao Zhen was restless all the way back to the house, and when he returned to the house, it happened that Pei Huizhao was watering the flowers in the front yard, Pei Huizhao saw him coming back, and hurriedly put down the scoop in his hand to greet him, and said in his mouth: "Your Highness is back." ”

When she walked to Xiao Chen, she was obviously a little stunned, she raised her eyes to look at Xiao Chen, and then lowered her eyebrows in frustration, as if she had found something different, she reached out and gently dusted Xiao Chen's sleeve, and said thoughtfully: "Your Highness has every opportunity, and you must be tired from staying in the palace all day to take care of political affairs." ”

"Hui Zhao......" Xiao Zhen called her, but she didn't say anything for a long time, and hesitated for a while before continuing: "Do you say that there will be two people who look exactly the same in this world?" ”

Pei Huizhao was stunned for a moment, she thought about it, and replied: "If it's just similar, there must be something, but if it looks exactly the same... Unless, it's a twin. ”

"It's not twins, it's two unrelated people," Xiao Zhen frowned, and Pei Huizhao paused, "This... Concubines are unheard of. ”

Xiao Zhen was silent, as if she was thinking about something, Pei Huizhao has always been delicate, and she is also very sensitive, when she saw Xiao Zhen like this, she naturally couldn't help but be careful, so she asked tentatively: "What's wrong with Your Highness?" ”

"I didn't ...... much" Xiao Yan was absent-minded, Pei Huizhao became more and more suspicious, but he hid it in his heart, didn't dare to ask more, simply diverted the topic, and said: "Xuan Yan is here, wait in the study, Your Highness go down to meet him." ”

Hearing that Xiao Wei was visiting, Xiao Zhen's thoughts wandering on Xie Zheng's body were pulled back a little, he only answered, and rushed to the study, Pei Huizhao lowered his head slightly, hiding the frustration on his face, Qiu Shi saw that Xiao Zhen was gone, walked quickly to Pei Huizhao's side, and asked, "What's wrong with Niangniang?" ”

Pei Huizhao raised his head, looked at Xiao Zhen, who had already walked away, and said calmly: "Your Highness, there is a special fragrance. ”

Qiu Shi was startled, his face became fierce immediately, and he hurriedly asked: "Is it a woman's fat powder?" ”

"The taste is quiet and elegant, without any fireworks, not as cheesy as rouge gouache."

"What's that?"

Pei Huizhao shook his head, his expression gloomy, "I don't know ...... this palace."

At that time, Xiao Wei was sitting in the study waiting for Xiao Chen, Xiao Zhen rushed here, as soon as he entered the door, he got up to greet him, and called cordially: "Big brother." ”

But seeing Xiao Zhen's expression in a trance, he asked with concern: "Big brother seems to have something on his mind." ”

After Xiao Zhen entered the door, he didn't look at Xiao Wei from beginning to end, he looked like he was out of his mind, went straight to the stool in front of the tea case and sat down, and said casually: "I just met a woman, she ......" He wanted to tell Xiao Wei everything he saw and heard in the Hou Mansion today, but at this point, he swallowed the words that came to his mouth back into his stomach.

At the other end, Xiao Wei also sat back on the stool, he saw Xiao Zhen like this, he couldn't help laughing out loud for a while, and teased: "A woman who can make the eldest brother fall in love with her like this is definitely not a vulgar fan, looking at the eldest brother like this, it seems that her soul has been taken away." ”

"She's not a vulgar fan, she's not a peerless beauty, she's just an ordinary woman," Xiao Wei said, as if to hide something, picked up the tea cup in front of her, and drank it all with her head down, but Xiao Wei was a person who liked to inquire about everything, and asked after her: "Ordinary woman?" What kind of ordinary woman? ”

"She ......" Xiao Zhen thought for a long time and said: "She is like the jade of Kunshan and the pearl of Jianghan." ”

When Xiao Wei heard this, he was a little stunned for a while, "The jade of Kunshan, the pearl of Jianghan", these eight characters were used by the eldest brother to evaluate Cousin Xie, and the eldest brother also said that Cousin Xie is the treasure of the world, except for her, no one can be worthy of this eight-character evaluation, why is it now......

"What kind of woman is she who, in the eldest brother's heart, is comparable to Cousin Xie?" Xiao Wei didn't shy away from it at all, Xiao Wei raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said expressionlessly: "It's okay not to say it," he was clearly a little unhappy between his words, and even his face had changed, Xiao Wei had already noticed it, and he couldn't stop talking, and he didn't ask any more.

But Pei Huizhao has been standing outside the door and eavesdropping for a long time, she originally wanted to send some pastries to entertain guests, but she didn't expect to hear these things that shouldn't be heard, and now the hand holding the tray is uncontrollably trembling, her face is solemn, her eyes are full of tears, her will is slightly depressed, and she is obviously very sad, although she turned around and walked away silently, she was still thinking about it in her heart.

His Royal Highness came back with a faint fragrance, and asked her inexplicably if there were two people who looked exactly the same in this world, and now he mentioned these eight characters, and Xuan Yan said that these eight characters were related to Yanghou...... Pei Huizhao was shocked, could it be that Yanghou is back!

In the study, Xiao Wei was still sitting opposite Xiao Wei drinking tea, and he didn't notice that Pei Huizhao had come, Xiao Wei knew that he had just mentioned Xie Yu, which had made Xiao Zhen unhappy, so he found another topic, "Yesterday in the Confucian Tea House, you and I met the Hou of Yongxiu County, can the eldest brother meet him for a while?" ”

Xiao Wei looked at Xiao Wei, hesitated for a while, thinking that he had just come back from the Hou Mansion of Yongxiu County, what he saw and heard today, he should have told Xiao Wei everything, but he couldn't, now Xiao Wei asked, he really didn't know how to answer, if he answered that he had already been, Xiao Wei must ask what happened, if he said that he had not been, Xiao Wei would definitely ask him to go with him, if he saw Xie Zheng at that time, it would be troublesome.

He was thinking about it, but in Xiao Wei's eyes, he was stunned, and Xiao Wei instinctively asked: "What's mysterious and mysterious today, what's wrong?" ”

Xiao Zhen came back to his senses, he was a little flustered, picked up the teapot and added some tea to his teacup, and replied lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that I've been a little tired from the recent turmoil in mundane affairs." ”

"Oh? Really? Xiao Wei laughed at it, but he always felt that the eldest brother seemed to have something to hide from him, and it was still about the woman.

Xiao Zhen sighed lightly, "You don't ask much, as for the matter of visiting the Marquis of Yongxiu County, let's stop for the time being." ”

Hearing what he said, Xiao Wei was inconvenient to say more, so he had to bury his head in tea.

At this time, Yin Luo suddenly came, looked hurried, and said to Xiao Zhen: "Your Highness, the king of Linchuan is here." ”

"Him?" Xiao Zhen looked surprised and muttered, "What is he doing?" ”

Xiao Wei also said: "The third brother has always been incompatible with the eldest brother, and he is working against the eldest brother openly and secretly, why did he come to visit the house today?" ”

Yin Luo shook his head and said: "The king of Linchuan is so angry, he brought more than ten people here, and also carried two boxes, saying that it was a gift for His Royal Highness, and the compensation was not coming. ”

Xiao Zhen didn't speak, Xiao Wei looked at him and smiled, and teased: "Isn't it compensation?" In my opinion, he has been suppressed by the fifth brother for a long time, so he is looking for the eldest brother to join forces. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Zhen sneered, then stood up and only said, "I want to see what kind of medicine he sells in this gourd!" ”
