When Ruan Yezhen heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Xianggong can think of what to compensate me?" ”

Xie Jinlan's gaze swept over the two of them, and then looked at Ruan Yezhen, and smiled meaningfully: "What kind of compensation does the lady want?" ”

After a pause, he approached Ruan Yezhen's ear and whispered, "Why don't you pay for the meat?" ”

Ruan Yezhen's cheeks flushed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she subconsciously took a step back, glared at him fiercely, and said, "Shameless!" ”

Xie Jinlan was not ashamed, but proud: "What kind of face do you want for your own lady?" ”

Chen Hongru approached Chen Qing, his eyes did not leave Xie Jinlan and the others, he covered his ears with his hand, and whispered in his ear: "Cousin, does Brother Xie often tease his sister-in-law like this?" ”

Chen Qing shook his head with a light smile, tilted his head slightly towards Chen Hongru's side, and said, "I don't know." However, the adult's skin is as thick as the city wall as always. ”

Chen Hongru nodded in realization.

......

In the pavilion, after praising Xiang Xinyuan and Yan Yiling, Emperor Qinghe looked sideways at the rear and asked, "Gao Wen, are two hundred taels of gold ready?" ”

Gao Wen took a step forward and said respectfully: "If you go back to the emperor, you have already prepared." ”

Emperor Qinghe nodded with satisfaction and said, "Present it." ”

After Gao Wen answered with a 'yes', he raised his hand and patted it lightly in his ear.

In just a few breaths, two young men who looked like small servants passed through the crowd, bowed slightly, hung their heads slightly, held a tray covered with yellow cloth, and walked quickly to the pavilion. Then he stopped at Gao Wen's side.

The two knelt down in the direction of Emperor Qinghe, Concubine Yun and Jiang Zhaoyi, and said respectfully: "The slave has seen the emperor!" Concubine Yun! Zhaoyi Niangniang! ”

As soon as I heard the voices of the two with a little shrill voice, I knew that they were the attendants who came out of the palace.

Emperor Qinghe said: "Let's be flat." ”

After the two of them got up, Gao Wen lifted the red cloth on the tray of the two.

But on each square tray, there are ten gold ingots neatly stacked.

Emperor Qinghe Xiang Xinyuan and Yan Yiling said with a smile: "I promised a hundred taels of gold, accept it." ”

When the two chamberlains heard this, they walked to the side of Xiang Xinyuan and Yan Yiling respectively.

After the two thanked them, they took the tray. The two chamberlains then withdrew.

After Yiling retreated into the crowd and handed the tray to his entourage, Emperor Qinghe asked, "Xinyuan, you can also make a request to me." What do you want? ”

Xiang Xinyuanyun smiled lightly and said, "Back to the emperor, the grass people participate in the flowing water pot just for entertainment. One hundred taels of gold is already a holy favor, how dare the grass people ask for anything else? ”

Emperor Qinghe shook his head lightly and said, "I am the Son of Heaven, how can I go back on my word?" ”

Xiang Xinyuan thought for a moment, then arched his hand and said, "In this way, the grass people have a reluctant request. ”

Emperor Qinghe touched the beard on his chin and said with a smile: "Just say it." ”

Xiang Xinyuan said: "Regarding the husband of the county lord of Jiahe, the deeds of Xie Jinlan, the current prefect of Lingzhou, when he was the county magistrate of Lin'an County, the grass people have heard a little. The grass people didn't ask for anything else, but only hoped to be in Xie Mansion for a few days to discuss the two murders in Lin'an County with Lord Xie. ”

Emperor Qinghe said: "What's so difficult about this? ”

After the words fell, his eyes searched the crowd and saw Xie Jinlan's figure.

He instructed Gao Wen: "Gao Wen, go and invite Xie Aiqing over." ”

Gao Wen stepped back in response.

......

After Gao Wen walked to Xie Jinlan and the others and explained that the saint was invited, the four of them couldn't help but glance at each other.

Then Xie Jinlan smiled and said, "I'm tired of Father-in-law Gao." ”

Gao asked, "Don't dare, this is a miscellaneous matter." ”

Then he turned sideways and made a gesture of please: "Lord Xie, please here." ”

Xie Jinlan hummed lightly. As soon as he took a step, he was grabbed by Ruan Yezhen's arm.

Gao Wen's face flashed with surprise quickly, but he quickly returned to normal.

Ruan Yezhen took Xie Jinlan and walked forward, looked at him with a smile and said, "I don't know what the emperor's uncle is looking for you, isn't it that you also have a reward for the second place?" ”

Xie Jinlan knew that she deliberately said this to Gao Wen, but she was actually worried that Xiang Xinyuan didn't know if she had taken eye medicine on the emperor.

Xie Jinlan smiled silently, some words were not easy to say at the moment, so she could only gently pat her little hand to show comfort.

Looking at the back of Xie Jinlan and Ruan Yezhen leaving hand in hand in front of him, Chen Hongru was a little worried: "Cousin, you said that the emperor summoned Brother Xie at this moment, could it be that Xiang Xinyuan said something?" ”

Chen Qing shook his head lightly and said, "You once said that Xiang Xinyuan's reputation is excellent, since this is the case, even if he has a personal grudge with Yanzhi, he will not say anything unfavorable to Yanzhi at this moment." ”

When Chen Hongru heard this, he clenched his fists and clapped his hands, and suddenly became enlightened: "Yes, why didn't I think of it?" Xiang Xinyuan is used to pretending, and words that are unfavorable to Brother Xie will definitely not come out of his mouth. ”

......

Xie Jinlan also knew this truth, because he was not worried in his heart, and entered the pavilion in a hurry.

After the three of them saluted, Gao Wen returned to the back of Emperor Qinghe, while Xie Jinlan and Ruan Yezhen sat on the only two stone benches at the request of Emperor Qinghe.

Ruan Yezhen is adjacent to Jiang Zhaoyi, and Xie Jinlan is adjacent to Xiang Xinyuan.

Emperor Qinghe looked at Ruan Yezhen with a mocking face, and said, "Why did Zhen'er come here together?" But I'm afraid that I will eat your good looks? ”

Ruan Yezhen hugged Xie Jinlan's arm and said arrogantly: "Whatever the emperor's uncle says, it's what it is." Zhen'er is such a father-in-law, can she not protect it well? ”

Emperor Qinghe smiled and said: "You, you, you, are not afraid that this word will spread out, others will laugh at Xie Aiqing for being a rake ear for eating soft rice?" ”

Ruan Yezhen said: "Xianggong won't care about those gossip." ”

Then he looked at Xie Jinlan: "Xianggong, you said yes, right?" ”

Xie Jinlan smiled dotingly: "Yes, I know that you care about me to be like this." ”

Ruan Yezhen received a satisfactory reply and looked at Emperor Qinghe: "Uncle Emperor, look! ”

Xie Jinlan said to Emperor Qinghe: "Please forgive the emperor, Zhen Zhen is such a character." ”

Emperor Qinghe smiled and said: "I have watched Zhen'er grow up since I was a child, I know best what kind of character she is, so naturally I will not blame her." ”

After a pause, he mentioned to Xie Jinlan what Xiang Xinyuan had just said. At the end, he asked with a smile: "What does Xie Aiqing think?" ”

Although Emperor Qinghe's tone was kind, Xie Jinlan still heard the meaning that could not be refused.

Xie Jinlan responded with a smile: "Xiang Gongzi is a role model for scholars in Beijing, and he can communicate with him at close range, and Weichen can't ask for it." ”

Emperor Qinghe smiled with satisfaction, and then looked at Xiang Xinyuan: "Xinyuan, listen to Xie Aiqing's words." You're squandering the promise I made to you. ”
