Chapter 438: First Meeting
"Hasn't this Liu Shangshu always been very supportive of Xuan Ruochen? How did you end up like this in the end? ”
In King Jing's mansion, Xu Tiantian was grinding ink for Xuan Ye in the study, and when he heard someone say this, he just shook his head regretfully.
Liu Shangshu she doesn't have much contact, but she also knows a little. Although he has always stood on Xuan Ruochen's side, he is also a good person, but it is only because Xuan Ruochen is the prince that he will do his best to support him. In other words, he is not supporting Xuan Ruochen, but he has some old stubbornness, and he thinks that since he has left the prince, Huang Wei can only be the prince. Even if he knew that Xuan Ruochen was not successful, he never wavered.
Xuan Ye put down the pen in his hand and hugged Xu Tiantian in his arms: "Liu Shangshu has impeached those corrupt officials many times, and these are the things he hates most in his life, how can he risk himself?" ”
Xu Tiantian nodded, "Those so-called evidences are afraid of the handiwork of Xuan Ruochen, right?" ”
On the second day, the noon gate was bustling with a crowd.
More than 300 people up and down the Shangshu Mansion were beheaded, and no one was spared. In decades, even the people living in this capital have seen such a scene for the first time.
The chief watched the shadow of the sundial next to him slowly droop, picked up the token on the table and threw it on the ground. "It's five o'clock, execution!"
The executioner took a sip of wine and sprayed it on the knife, the knife rose and fell, and the blood dripped down the tip of the knife, and the adults covered their children's eyes, and a woman in the crowd was full of red eyes, looking at the beheaded crowd.
The woman wore a veil in the crowd, tears fell in large drops, her hands clenched tightly together, her nails sunk deep into the flesh, but she didn't feel the pain. A pair of eyes stared at the executioner, as if to imprint this image deeply in his mind.
There were more than 300 people in Shangshu Mansion, and after the execution was completed, the entire Wumen Gate was full of blood. It took three days and three nights of heavy rain to wash away the smell of blood.
There was no one on the street on weekdays.
The heavy rain was really sudden, and the flowers and plants carefully cultivated by Xu Tiantian had not had time to be put away, and after the devastation of this heavy rain, all the flowers and plants were beaten into the soil.
"It's been raining for so many days, and staying in this house is getting more and more boring."
Xuan Ye looked at Xu Tiantian with one arm and put away the book in his hand with his head, "I know that these days you are bored, it has been raining for a few days, it is said that the water in the suburban lake is rising, how about taking you to the lake tomorrow?" ”
Xu Tiantian was originally a listless appearance, but when she heard Xuan Ye's words, she instantly became energetic.
On the second day, Xu Tiantian got up early in the morning, the breeze came slowly, in the lotus pond, the lotus flowers moved slightly, and a few small fish competed to play under the pond, swimming back and forth.
The air around her is fresh and pleasant, and although there is a lively street next to it, she is not disturbed by this paradise that seems to be in the middle of the city.
Xu Tiantian was dressed in peach-colored clothes, sitting next to the pool, looking into the distance, the bag of fish food in her hand had been fed almost, Xuan Ye was wearing a black clothes, just watching quietly on the side, not bothering.
"It's windy outside in the morning, and you're weak, so it's better to wear thicker."
For a long time, Xuan Ye put on a white and elegant embroidered cloak for Xu Tiantian, and Wei Xiao, who was bowing his head next to him, pursed his lips and smiled secretly.
"I haven't seen the princess for a long time, the princess is auspicious."
Probably because of the rain, everyone saw this good time and brought their women and children to swim in the lake. The lady of the Beijing Garrison Mansion saw Xu Tiantian from a distance and got on the boat together.
"I haven't seen Mrs. Wang for a few days, but my complexion is getting better and better." Xu Tiantian nodded lightly, she doesn't go out much, but most of these ladies can be familiar with each other at the palace banquet.
Princess Changle was dressed in a gorgeous moire brocade dress that made everyone stand out, "A sparrow will always be a sparrow, but it's just a beautiful dress, and you really think you're a phoenix?" ”
Xu Tiantian just smiled lightly and didn't speak.
Jin Lishan saw from a distance that Princess Changle also followed closely, "I haven't seen the princess for a long time, but she is becoming more and more beautiful." ”
Princess Changle is proud, except for the queen, there is no more noble woman in the world than her. Even if these people are famous, they have to be obedient to her as a foil in the end.
Seeing Jin Lilian like this, the ladies who were good friends with Jin Lilin were also by Princess Changle's side. Xu Tiantian only glanced deeply, turned her head and ignored it.
Originally, I had a good swim in the lake, because some irrelevant people disturbed Xu Tiantian's interest, and Xu Tiantian felt bored after coming out for an hour, Xuan Ye could naturally see through Xu Tiantian's mind at a glance.
"These people are very noisy here, or I will take you somewhere else first? When there is such good weather again, I will bring you over privately. ”
Xu Tiantian nodded in agreement, she and these young ladies of the Guan family have never had anything to say, and she can count the people she knows in the capital on one hand, even if some people want to get close to her, she is too lazy to deal with it. Right now, I can't wait to get out of this place as soon as possible.
Seeing Xu Tiantian leave, Xuan Ruochen and the princes were also in no mood.
Although it is not as good as Yaxing on the other side of the lake, the bustling crowd on this street and the cries of hawkers are endless, and it is really lively.
Xu Tiantian was holding a string of sugar gourds in the crowd, and Xuan Ye followed not far away, only watching her behind her and laughing, and finally the smile defeated the sun.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't see you, are you okay, ma'am?"
Xu Tiantian was in high spirits in the crowd, and a woman came over and hit Xu Tiantian's body hard, if it weren't for Xuan Ye's quick eyes, Xu Tiantian was afraid that she would be knocked to the ground.
The woman didn't seem to realize that there was someone in front of her, and when she realized that she was in trouble, she bent down and didn't even dare to raise her head to admit her mistake.
Xuan Ye held Xu Tiantian in his arms, his eyes were gloomy, and he was just about to get angry, Xu Tiantian gently grabbed his hand and shook his head.
"It's okay, looking at you like this, I think it's urgent."
It's just a bump, and she's not a porcelain doll. Xuan Ye was so nervous, but it made others feel a little excited.
The woman suddenly knelt on the ground, Xu Tiantian was startled, and took a step back into Xuan Ye's arms.
"The little girl's name is Liu Wenwen, and her family suddenly suffered a change and fell into such an end, I hope Mrs. will take her in."
Xu Tiantian frowned, she was not a virgin. Suddenly, an unknown woman came on the road, blocked her way, and asked her to take her in. There are many people in this place who want to harm her, and if she just agrees to come down and is afraid of how she will die one day, she doesn't know.
Xuan Ye would not agree, Shen Yi took some silver from his arms and stepped forward: "My father and wife are inconvenient to take you in, you take this money to find a living and live in peace." ”
Liu Wenwen looked at the money in Shen's hand and shook her head, "Madam, my woman is helpless in the capital, she is really desperate, even if I take this money today, what can I do as a woman to make a living?" If the lady is willing to take me in, the daughter of the people in the next world is willing to repay me by being a cow and a horse. ”
Xu Tiantian glanced at Xuan Ye, although Liu Wenwen was kneeling on the ground, the perseverance revealed in her eyes was not like that of ordinary women, and the clothes she was wearing were also a young lady.
"Look at your appearance, you are not the material for making a maid, where are you from?"
"The daughter of Xuzhou, my father is a businessman, I studied in private school for a few years when I was a child, and I originally had some family background, but last year there was a drought in Xuzhou, and my family fled for their lives here, but they met bandits when they fled from the famine, and my father and mother were killed by bandits, and I was lucky to escape. There's really nothing to do these days. ”
The pathos in Liu Wenwen's eyes when she said it didn't make people feel that it was a lie, and Xu Tiantian was also in a dilemma. Then he looked at Xuan Ye, who just nodded lightly at her.
"In that case, follow me. If you find any relatives one day, you may want to leave. ”
Although the origin of this woman is unknown, but in the palace and under Xuanye's nose, if she really wants to do something, I am afraid it will not be easy.
Liu Wenwen raised her head and her eyes were full of gratitude, "Thank you, madam, thank you, madam." ”
In Xu Tiantian's yard, Xu Tiantian pushed open a wing room on the west side, "This yard was originally a utility yard, and you didn't have time to let someone clean up the yard for you in a hurry, you just live in this house for the time being, and I will let someone come over to clean it up later." ”
Although this room is said to be cluttered, everything is put in an orderly manner and does not make people feel cluttered.
Liu Wenwen nodded, "Princess Xie." "Now that she has a place to settle down, where does she dare to ask for more?
"If you think something is wrong, and you still need to buy something, just go to the steward and get the money and buy it yourself, you don't need to tell me."
Liu Wenwen lowered her eyebrows and said, "Yes." ”
Xuan Ye put down the chess in his hand and gently held Xu Tiantian's hand with one hand: "By the way, it will be your birthday in a short time, and it will be your birthday in a short time." But do you have any gifts you want? ”
The two of them have been busy with their own things these days, and when Xuan Ye reacted, it was only half a month before Xu Tiantian's birth, but it was all because he had been busy with the affairs of the court and ignored this matter, but fortunately, it was still too late now.
Xu Tiantian rubbed her eyebrows, she had never paid much attention to these things, but in the end, this was her first birthday after coming here, not to mention that he was Princess Jing, I was afraid that even if she didn't want trouble, those palace rules would not allow her to reduce it.
