Chapter 204: Eating Deflated

The Duke of Suiguo raised his eyes suspiciously to look at Wanxiang, and suddenly felt that what she said seemed to have some truth.

Seeing that Suiguo Gong was thinking in his heart, Wanxiang hurriedly added a few more words: "I don't know when the Suiguo Mansion will be mourned, but I just asked someone to calculate an auspicious time and happened to bump into it."

Didn't the prince ask someone to calculate the auspicious time for the princess? It was so coincidental that it just happened to be able to collide. Blame me, the people who carried the coffin were found outside the house, and they didn't chase after a few words. ”

This sentence reminded Suiguo Gong that because Xiao Huaiyue had been in charge of Taishi Ling, he calculated an auspicious time for Princess Yongsheng.

Thinking of the words that Princess Yongsheng told her son before she died, Sui Guogong immediately thought of Xiao Huaiyue and Qi Hou. And I thought of my wife.

The reason why she died in prison was only because she mistakenly believed that Qi Hou had taken the wrong step.

She knew that she had offended Xiao Huaijin in the court, and even if she could get out alive, the future life of the Suiguo Mansion might not be easy. It's better to die and at least save a pair of children.

Sui Guogong understands her, so he will not favor Xiao Huaiyue, let alone rely on Xiao Huaijin because of Xiao Huaiyue's calculations.

Being in the imperial city and wanting to be alone, such a difficult thing, even Suiguo Gong himself didn't know if he could fulfill Princess Yongsheng's last wish: to survive with two children.

But the princess regent in front of her put her figure so low, and the regent also let her depreciate herself without saying a word.

So he put down the tea cup in his hand and whispered with a sad face: "In this imperial city, the relationship between the Suiguo Mansion and the Pingnan Mansion should not be too far, and it will not be so troublesome for that woman."

I was originally a concubine, but because my mother never had a biological son in her name, and she saw that I was weak and sick, she put me in my name. ”

The Duke of Suiguo leaned back, looked at the incense burner not far away with deep eyes, and suddenly recalled the past: "This marquis position began to have nothing in my father's hands.

Jing Ying was originally going to send her relatives to southern Xinjiang, but the king of southern Xinjiang took advantage of the occasion to send troops to disguise herself and go deep into the territory, ruining this marriage.

Emperor Zhao remembered that my ancestor was the head of the Zhu Kingdom who had opened a war, so he promised Princess Yongsheng to me. Because the princess is a concubine, the position of marquis was mentioned again.

First, to appease the hearts of the old ministers, and secondly, to give the frightened Princess Yongsheng a stable rest of her life. Although the Guogong Mansion is beautiful, it has always been the princess who is holding her face. ”

Speaking of this, Sui Guogong smiled bitterly and waved his hand lightly: "It has long been a strong outsider." The princess is no more, and I am weak and incompetent and have no ideas. Just want to live up to the princess's expectations and take care of the two children.

I already understood King Xiang's thoughts. Even if the princess and princess don't come today, I will visit him at the house on the other day. Not for anything else, just ask the prince to take care of the Guogong Mansion for the sake of being the child's uncle.

I don't want to pay attention to those short and long, those court chaos. I hope that the prince can be fulfilled. Jing Ying left, this is not intended to be the biggest punishment for the Suiguo Mansion, those things in the court...... That's how it passes. ”

He suddenly changed the conversation, raised Wanxiang and Xiao Huaijin to a high place with his words, and blocked them at the lowest point of human affection, so that Wanxiang didn't know how to reply and had no refusal, it was worth turning his head and looking at Xiao Huaijin, so he had to answer with a smile: "What Guogong said is that the little prince wants to call the prince an uncle."

It's just that now the prince is also difficult to ride a tiger, so he can only try his best to take care of it, and the good future of the children still depends on them to fight for it. ”

Wanxiang could only follow Suiguogong's words, and said a few words of greetings at will, saying something about the parents' shortcomings, and then hurriedly said goodbye and turned around and went home.

Waiting for the people to leave, the little boy came out from behind the screen and called respectfully: "Father." ”

Sui Guogong stood in place and looked in the direction of Xiao Huaijin and Wanxiang: "Do you see clearly?" This is the Guogong Mansion that will be handed over to you in the future. ”

The little boy sighed: "Look at the princess regent's sincerity, she didn't do anything during the day." ”

Duke Suiguo glared back at his uneducated son, and then said: "With a slap and a handful of dates, the princess regent not only lowers her body, but also pulls the regent."

King Xiang may really not be able to fight this couple. ”

The little boy also chased and asked: "Father, who did it?" Is it the regent or the king of Xiang? The son's heart ...... It's really messy. ”

"Whoever it is, we'll wade through the muddy waters until now. In the future, you don't want to go to Qingyuefang again, and you will stay away from it. Don't even discuss the affairs of the court with anyone.

There are too many people in this imperial city who can't help but say something wrong, and when you can't help but love that woman, don't you also think that all this is in other people's calculations? ”

Sui Guogong turned around and walked towards the backyard, his feet were so heavy that he didn't even cross the threshold, and almost fell to the ground. The little boy held him up in time: "Father." ”

Sui Guogong lowered his head and looked at the shiny threshold with wide eyes, wondering why he was tripped by it, and laughed when he looked at it, and took his son's hand and sighed: "As a father, I can't save you for a lifetime." ”

……

The carriage with red lanterns hanging outside the gate of the Suiguo Mansion gradually moved away.

In the car, Wanxiang couldn't help but feel puzzled, opened the curtain and looked back at the housekeeper who was sent out all the way, turned around and whispered: "How did it become so fast?" And put his body so low.

I was speechless, and I was embarrassed to say that I was weak and incompetent. ”

Xiao Huaijin held Wanxiang's hand, looked back at her angry appearance, and couldn't help but chuckle. Wanxiang patted Xiao Huaijin's thigh with her hand: "Are you still smiling?" ”

"It's really rare to see the regent deflated, I didn't expect to be pregnant, and his speech is not as sharp as before."

"You see that he advances and retreats in a measured manner, and sincerely says something else. In a few words, Yongsheng Gong made a big fuss in the court into a leafless branch, and he didn't know how much smarter than your sister.

I didn't even react for a while. I used to think that this person was inconspicuous, but I didn't know that if it wasn't, it was already a blockbuster. ”

"Being calculated like Xiao Huaiyue and suppressed by me like this, he can still stay calm, and he is indeed not as cowardly and incompetent as ordinary people say."

Xiao Huaijin patted Wanxiang's hand comfortingly: "The tiger also has a nap, and you have been very tired recently, so it's okay to rest." ”

Wanxiang, who was still annoyed by her stupidity, heard Xiao Huaijin say this, so she also relieved her heart and leaned towards Xiao Huaijin's shoulder.

This experience was really tiring, coupled with the bumps in the carriage and horses, Wanxiang gradually became tired, and snuggled in Xiao Huaijin's arms and yawned.

Until the car stopped, Xiao Huaijin carried her into the palace and didn't wake up.

Wanxiang was wrapped in Xiao Huaijin's robe and slept peacefully in Xiao Huaijin's arms. Xiao Huaijin walked slowly step by step with her in her arms, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that the full moon had climbed up to the roof, and the soft toad light enveloped the entire palace.

The wide back suddenly looked a little lonely.

After placing the incense, he sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her side face, unable to sleep for a long time.

In this way, he was so preoccupied until dawn that he got up and went to the court.

There are many affairs in the court, and if Qi Hou and King Xiang don't mention it, no one will mention the matter of Princess Yongsheng's brain court.

And Sui Guogong was even more nested in the Guogong Mansion, even if Wanxiang used the red coffin to frame Xiao Huaiyue, he didn't have the slightest intention to blame.

After another three or five days, no one talked about it again.

Ke Wanxiang's heart still remembers Qi Hou who commanded the forbidden army in the court that day to clear the monarch's side, Princess Yongsheng died, and naturally Qi Hou couldn't live too well.

This account, Wanxiang silently remembered it in her heart.

……

Taking advantage of Xiao Huaijin's absence in the bedroom, Wanxiang slowly walked to the side of the desk and sat down, leaned on the soft pillow embroidered with silver thread on a blue background, and inadvertently complained to Qiu Di: "I've been really sleepy lately, and I'm really not as good as a day." You still have to move those account books far away, and you really can't burn them. ”

"It's hot and humid in summer, and people are already prone to sleepiness, not to mention that the princess is still a person with a body. In a few days, after the begging festival, it will be the beginning of autumn, and it will be good at that time. ”

"It's about to start autumn again?"

Qiu Di sighed: "Yes, another year is going to pass." ”

Wanxiang looked out and saw Liang Cuo talking to Xiao Huaijin in the study window, turned around and said to Qiu Di: "You should rest tomorrow." ”

"Is it bad for the princess to serve slaves and maids? So anxious to call the slave and maid to rest. The slave and maid should be off the day after tomorrow. ”

"You." Wanxiang picked up the medicine bowl brought by Qiu Di: "I also learned to talk around the corner." Those who don't know think I dislike you, and those who know you are saying I'm confused. ”

Qiu Di knelt and sat on the side of the desk: "How dare Qiu Di?" ”

"There has been no movement in Qionghuatai recently?"

"A few days ago, when General Liang surrounded Qi Houfu, she cried once, clamoring to see the princess and plead. I heard that Qi Houfu and Qi Kite were put back, so she was born. ”

"She's pretty good at being a person. Knowing that no matter how much I ask, it won't help, and I won't kill her if I make a small fuss, and if I spread it, I can ask Qi Hou to take care of her a little. ”

"Qi Hou just wanted her to die, how much can he care about it?" Seeing Wanxiang picking up the sunspots on the chessboard, Qiu Di reached out and opened the chess basket on the side: "Even if Qi Hou cares about it again, in the prince's place, she has no place to stand." ”

"Hmm." Wanxiang nodded, the hair on the hair that was originally too heavy and refused to be curled fell down the side of her ear and fell on the chessboard, Wanxiang raised her hand to pin it behind her ear to reveal a little face without powder: "Let her out in a few days, I haven't looked around in the palace for so long, I'm afraid I don't even know how many courtyards the palace has." ”

Qiu Di looked at Wanxiang suspiciously: "I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right?" ”

Wanxiang raised her eyes and glanced at Qiu Di, who didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and hurriedly put down the lid of the chess basket and got up: "I'll go get a hairband for the princess." ”

The slender fingers picked up the chess pieces one by one, picked up the book on the side and pointed at the mantra on it, and placed the chess pieces step by step.

I didn't bother to look up when I heard the footsteps, knowing that it was Qiu Di who came to tie my hair for me, and when I ran my hair with both hands, I smelled the smell that belonged to Xiao Huaijin.

As soon as I wanted to look back, I was caught by the hair on my head, and I felt a 'hiss' in pain.

"Don't move."

Xiao Huaijin held the red belt in one hand, and picked up the three thousand green silk in the other hand to wrap it seriously and carefully, carefully and carefully, although he frowned because of the clumsiness on his hands, the tenderness in his eyes did not diminish at all.

But the result was still a little unsatisfactory, and Wanxiang was moved but didn't dare to move: "Lord Wang...... Tying the hair is not a bolt to the city gate, so it does not need to be so strong. ”
