Although Xia Zixi did not set foot in the official career, he was a child of an official family after all, and there were many literati and artists gathered in Yunshan Academy. No matter which circle, as long as the king of Chengjun is mentioned, everyone will say: that is a celebrity.

This carefree prince who regards utilitarianism as dung and only talks about wind and snow, but he has worked so hard to cultivate a girl, no matter how you look at it, it does not match the indifference he shows.

If it is a small family or an ordinary official, cultivating such a woman can also be said to be for the purpose of raising the woman, sending it to somewhere or giving it to someone in exchange for benefits.

A royal clan like King Chengjun, who is breezy and elegant, should never do such a thing. Taking 10,000 steps back, the prince is also a human being, and he has done this kind of thing to maintain the luxury and noble status of the palace. Then, there is only one place for this woman to go - to send it to the palace.

However, King Chengjun can keep this woman in secret in the palace, and after raising her, at the right time, he will sacrifice her to the emperor.

And now the purpose of digging out such a hollow mind, raising this girl in the market, and arranging many people to maneuver in it, so as not to let the county prince's mansion and the Li family have any contact, is intriguing.

The more Xia Zixi thought about it, the heavier her mood became.

Emperor Qingyuan is a Ming monarch, and after succeeding to the throne, there are not so many messy moths, and he follows the rules and strictly implements the various laws and systems of the Liang Dynasty. The emperor himself did not show any obvious personal preferences, and the ministers did not have the opportunity to join the camp of their liking.

In the past ten years, the people have been stable and the political situation has been stable, showing a trend of prosperity that has rarely been seen for many years.

To say that the only unstable factor in the Qingyuan period is the position of the prince.

The crown prince died prematurely, and the emperor only had such a prince, so various forces were ready to move.

After the death of the crown prince, the emperor gave the title of the prince's only son, the grandson, and named him the king of Yan. Many ministers believed that this was the emperor's attitude, and he wanted to pass on the throne to the grandson.

Judging from the current situation, the emperor has repeatedly ordered Shao Yi to take his grandson on trips, and the foothold of his grandson every time he travels is related to the Xia family.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor rewarded Xia Ke and Xia Zitang many times, and also sent his eldest son Xia Han to the Yanwang Mansion as a companion. Xia Zixi believes that the emperor does have plans to pass on the throne from generation to generation, and the Xia family may be the team of the grandson.

But the emperor is not only the crown prince.

King Jing has passed the year of his establishment, and after the death of the crown prince, he is the one who has made the biggest move. Because of the relationship with his seniority, and because King Jing has been involved in court politics for many years, he has the most courtiers who are attached to him.

The rest of the princes are young, and some have not received court errands due to personality problems, but it does not mean that they and their mothers and concubines and family forces have no idea about the throne.

It is said that the King of Jiang, who is in charge of the affairs of the clan, does not stop much, and from time to time, he will invite a certain prince to the Jiang Wang's Mansion for a banquet and laugh.

The heir to the throne is so unclear, but now there is a king of Chengjun.

If King Chengjun's scheming is really so deep, the woman who has been planning to be sent to the palace after five or six years is afraid that there is also a layout in other aspects.

Xia Zixi's face showed a rare melancholy, and he asked Shao Yi softly, "What are you going to do next?" "Do you want to keep an eye on it to see if the king of Cheng County really has a plan? Or tell the emperor about it?

Thinking of the rebellion, thinking of the bloody rain caused by the rebellion of the previous dynasties, Xia Zixi's spine was cold.

If Shao Yi comes forward to denounce it, he is the initiator of this bloody storm, how can Xiaomei and his future go on safely. If you hide it and don't say it...... That's even worse, if it is later found that he didn't report it, if it's serious, it's an accomplice.

Unexpectedly, Shao Yi gave him another answer: "It has reached this level, where can I still manage." I have already instructed Zhirui to send someone to keep an eye on Widow Li and the Wang family on the periphery for a few days. If the Wang family is really secretly protecting the Li family and covering for them, I will mention this matter to Commander Liu. As for King Chengjun or something," Shao Yi smiled, "That's not something I can suspect, I just know that the Li family and the Wang family have something to do, and by the way, I'm just chatting with Commander Liu." ”

"You have to have a reason to talk to Commander Liu about a widow in the market, right?" Speaking of this, Xia Zixi suddenly remembered that Shao Yi's reason for noticing the Li family was so untenable, "Do you think about it, why do you think that the Li family is inappropriate, so you will target her?" ”

Shao Yi also thought about this question for a few days before he reluctantly found a reason.

He scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and said, "I also thought about it for several days before I remembered when I had seen the Li family." It's been about a year, and it's been hot anyway, and it's pretty much the same as it is now. Li walked forward, and a woman behind her sneered in a very loud voice: Is it true that she is the mother-in-law of the prince and general? still thinks that his daughter is really a concubine or a princess. This Li Shi didn't hear it, just walked with his head down. I looked at Li twice, and when I saw her again a few days ago, I always felt as if I had missed something, so I followed. ”

As he spoke, Shao Yi spread his hands, "Second brother, you see, sometimes my feelings are very powerful, doesn't this really mean that there is an omission?" ”

The reason why he dared to say this was also because when Zhirui sent people to investigate the situation of the Li family, some women in front of and behind the Li family really said such things. The reason is nothing more than jealousy, or because he can't get used to seeing Li's daughter raised high, which is more undignified than his own daughter.

Even if Widow Li is implicated in the matter of King Cheng Jun in the future, ask Widow Li about the scene he made up, I think she has heard too many such words, and she should not remember every time clearly.

Xia Zixi was also speechless by him, but fortunately, Xia Zitang had already laid the foundation before, saying that this guy's senses were keen, but he didn't reject this answer.

After getting Shao Yi's answer, Xia Zitang's purpose of looking for him this time was also achieved. It's just that the hidden truth involved in this answer is enough to worry people.

If this matter is true, I am afraid that there will be a big change in the imperial court, and he must discuss this matter with his father as soon as possible, so that the family will not be affected in this change.

Before Xia Zitang could say his farewell, Shao Yi asked again: "I told the fourth brother what I heard that day, I wonder if my uncle and the two brothers told Miss Xia about this?" ”

When Xia Zixi heard this, he immediately put aside King Chengjun and the court situation, and looked at Shao Yi with a very complicated expression.

After a while, he frowned and said, "Although you are young, you are also a dignified man, so you should know that things are serious." If this is true, it is very sinister, and you should not tell her, no matter how much she asks you. ”

"Ah, what the second brother taught me is that Cheng An asked this question, and he also regretted saying a little too much that day." Shao Yi was very frightened, but he was overjoyed.

Seeing Xia Zixi like this, he should believe that Xia Yanqing came coquettishly and willfully with him that day.

Xia Zixi has this kind of thought, which means that Xia Ke is the same. Probably because the two of them did not have a unified voice, Xia Yanqing must not dare to explain in detail what the two of them said at that time.

This misunderstanding is wonderful.
