Chapter 595: My Fair Lady, Gentleman!
"What's going on?" Chu Liuyue put down the wine glass in her hand and asked lightly.
He was sitting under a restaurant, and on the street opposite the restaurant, he could see the eldest princess Ryan's car coming in a hurry, and then leaving in a hurry.
"It was said that the eldest princess went to the Xingguo Mansion to smash it because Miss Shao Wu was poisoned." Xiao Qizi reported.
"Poisoned, how can you be poisoned in the mountains, don't you say that there was nothing wrong yesterday?" Chu Liuyue frowned and said.
When the secret guard returned home last night, although it was said that this Miss Shao Wu seemed to have difficulty walking, and she should have really sprained her foot, she did not say that she was poisoned.
"This minion doesn't know, but there are legends below, saying that after the fifth lady sprained her foot, the eldest lady gave her a bottle of ointment, which was mixed with the medicine of mutual restraint, not only will it not make the foot better, but it will also rot and suppurate, and they are all guessing whether this thing is really done by Miss Shao!" Xiao Qizi bowed his head and said.
Chu Liuyue's brows furrowed more and more, and her face showed a little displeasure, Shao Yanru has been getting more and more things recently, and she doesn't know what she is thinking, she actually made such a thing at such a time.
"Let people go and find out what's ......going on," Chu Liuyue paused when she said this, waved her hand and said, "Forget it, don't check this in advance, let's see the situation!" ”
He can't go more than his people in Yuhui Nunnery, who knows who else is there, if it weren't for what Shao Yanru said yesterday, he wouldn't have taken the liberty of sending a secret guard over.
Unexpectedly, Shao Wanru had a private meeting with Chu Qing, or didn't find out about the note, but saw Shao Yanru secretly having an ambiguous relationship with Qiu Yu, and even had something to do with Chu Qing when he heard this meaning.
The wine glass in his hand fell, and his eyes showed a little anger, Shao Yanru was the candidate for the concubine he fancied, and at this time, at the critical time when he was choosing a concubine, he really couldn't tolerate the slightest mistake.
But inexplicably, I feel very greasy, as if there is something in my throat, I can't swallow it or spit it out, it's just a woman, in fact, if Shao Yanru doesn't have the same heart with him, he doesn't have to choose Shao Yanru.
Shao Yanru's appearance certainly made him admire, but he was more concerned about the background behind Shao Yanru and how much Shao Yanru's intelligence would help him......
Xiao Qizi didn't dare to speak, only stood with his head down and shoulders, his own master liked Miss Shao, and the relationship with Miss Shao was not bad in private, in Xiao Qizi's opinion, Miss Shao was the future heroine of his own family, he actually wanted to help his future heroine speak, but now His Royal Highness's cold face made him dare not say a word.
Since His Highness heard the news of the secret guard last night, when it comes to Miss Shao, His Highness doesn't seem to be very happy.
"Lord Wang, the third prince of Wen has arrived!" A guard reported at the door of the private room.
"Let him in!" Chu Liuyue raised her head and said gently, showing a little smile on her still cloudy face.
The door was pushed open, Wen Xichi walked in slowly, stood in front of Chu Liuyue and bowed deeply to Chu Liuyue, "His Royal Highness King Yue!" ”
"Yuan Qing doesn't have to be polite, sit down!" Chu Liuyue said with a smile, stretched out her hand and pointed to the chair opposite, the two of them have known each other since childhood, but they don't need to be too polite.
"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Wen Xichi arched his hand, smiled and sat down opposite him.
Xiao Qizi neatly put down a set of utensils, poured a glass of wine for Wen Xichi, and retreated to the side to wait.
"Taste it, how about it?" Chu Liuyue said with a smile.
Wen Xichi picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and then his eyes lit up, "Good wine!" ”
"Naturally, it's a good wine, this is the king specially found it from the tribute wine, I know that you like to drink this, and I specially asked my father to reward it, that's it, it's just five pots when it's all poured, and you can bring two pots back in a while!" Chu Liuyue laughed loudly, and also picked up the wine glass in his hand and touched it with Wen Xichi, "Done?" ”
"It's not okay to do it, it's just such a good wine, naturally you have to appreciate it carefully, I will be ashamed to thank His Highness for the wine!" Wen Xichi smiled and waved his hand leisurely, then picked it up and tasted it carefully, and his smile became more and more elegant.
"Say no thanks, you did a great favor to this king before, and this king is here to thank you!" Chu Liuyue said with a smile, took back the wine glass, took a sip, and nodded again and again, "Although this king doesn't like this type of wine, it is too sweet, but it is still excellent to taste!" ”
"Lord Wang, it's just a gesture, Lord Wang's great kindness to us has always been remembered!" Wen Xichi smiled and took another sip of the wine in the glass.
The wine is very sweet and has a light fruity taste, just like in memory, as if I have drunk it before, but after tasting it, I know that I have never drunk it before.
It was strange to him that he would like to drink this kind of sweet wine, rather than drink some stronger wine like ordinary men.
"Why mention it again and again, Yuan Qing is just too worried, so that he can see the eldest princess's car?" Chu Liuyue's smile became more and more gentle.
"Naturally, I saw it, what is the matter with the eldest princess?" When Wen Xichi came over, he only saw the back of the eldest princess Ruian's car, but he heard all kinds of statements in the crowd, which were related to the two young ladies of the Xingguo Mansion.
"I heard that Miss Shao Wu twisted her foot, and the injury medicine she used was sent by the Xingguo Mansion, and Miss Shao and Miss Shao Wu each had a bottle, but the bottle used by Miss Shao Wu was mixed with other medicines, and not only will it not get better quickly after using it, but it may also make her feet rotten, the eldest princess is angry and goes to the Xingguo Mansion to make a big fuss!"
Chu Liuyue said casually.
"There was only a matter of Baiyun Temple before, how can it be ...... now Isn't this Xingguo Mansion really dislike this Miss Shao Wu to such a point? ”
Wen Xichi frowned and said with confusion.
"Who knows!" Chu Liuyue said lightly, "But this Miss Shao Wu is also weird, it seems that she has been making a lot of noise since she entered Beijing!" ”
"What do you mean?" Although Wen Xichi still had a smile on his face, his eyes were a little deeper.
"This king has seen Miss Shao before, but she is a rare gentle beauty, and her family background is also good, and her reputation is excellent, so she shouldn't do this kind of thing, not to mention that her father also has the meaning that she will be selected...... At this time, it is extremely bad for her to spread such words! ”
Chu Liuyue looked idle and said casually.
The purpose of his coming today was naturally to see Wen Xichi, and he really wanted to talk about the matter of Baiyun Temple, but the matter of the eldest princess of Ruian just now made it easier for him to cut this matter.
"The prince wants to choose her as the concubine?" Wen Xichi's heart moved, but his face was silent.
"This king thinks so, but right now it ......" Chu Liuyue said with a melancholy face, "Father will not allow a woman with a flawed reputation to be the main concubine of this king, but this king ......"
Chu Liuyue groaned for a while when she said this, she seemed to be a little embarrassed, picked up the wine glass in her hand, drank it all, and then put down the wine glass heavily, and looked at Wen Xi Chi very sincerely, "My fair lady, the gentleman is good, this king is not exempt from vulgarity, if Miss Shao is the princess of this king, this king is very lucky!" ”
"Lord Wang, if it was Miss Shao in the past, it would be no problem to be selected, and then the prince would go to the emperor to explain this matter, but now this matter ......" Wen Xichi coughed lowly, "I'm afraid this matter is not easy to do!" ”
"So I have to ask Yuan Qing for help, this king ......" Chu Liuyue's face turned slightly red, revealing a hint of young people's admiration, "Miss Shao is really the person this king admires, she really doesn't want others to marry her, she has to marry home to be more stable!" ”
Wen Xichi lowered his head and was silent for a while, and then nodded slowly, "Since it is the meaning of the prince, it is necessary to be a minister!" ”
"Thank you Yuanqing!" Chu Liuyue was overjoyed, stood up and bowed deeply to Wen Xichi.
Wen Xichi hurriedly got up and helped Chu Liuyue, "The prince is too polite, the prince's great kindness to the people of the Wen Mansion has never been forgotten for the ministers!" ”
"Yuan Qing, it's just a gesture, it's nothing!" Chu Liuyue waved his hand and said indifferently.
"It's a gesture for the prince, but for the minister, it's a life-saving grace for the family." Wen Xichi said with a heavy face.
A few years ago, a corruption case involved Wen Xiang's head, and all the doubts pointed to Wen Xiang, the emperor was furious and wanted to copy Wen Fu, or Chu Liuyue took the lead in kneeling in the imperial study to intercede with Wen Xiang, which made the matter delay a little.
After that, he helped to find out the matter, and even made repeated efforts in it, speaking of this matter, Wen has always been grateful to Chu Liuyue, and also asked the whole family to pay attention to King Yue's affairs.
But after this matter, Chu Liuyue and Wen Xiangfu did not get very close, but they met and greeted each other in the upper and lower courts, and it is said that when the emperor asked about this later, he only said that he and Wen Sangongzi had a good relationship since childhood, and knew that it was impossible for Wen Xiangfu to do such a thing, so as not to be framed by loyal ministers, so he intervened in this matter.
Since this matter is settled, the rest has nothing to do with him, and his main thing is to look at the face of the third prince of Wen.
At that time, Wen Sangongzi was just an idle scholar, even though he had always been famous, but he was not an official, and he was young at that time, and the relationship between Chu Liuyue and Wen Sangongzi had indeed been very good, so no one used this matter to attack Chu Liuyue for forming a party and winning for personal gain.
But no matter how long this incident has passed, the gratitude of the Wen Prime Minister's Mansion to Chu Liuyue has always been.
Even though the two families did not have any close contact after that, this matter was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the Wenfu.
The two of them then said some idle words, and then a guard came to report, saying that the emperor was looking for Chu Liuyue to enter the palace, and Chu Liuyue had to leave, leaving Wen Xichi alone in the private room.
Picking up the wine at hand and tasting it carefully, Wen Xichi lowered his eyes, couldn't see the joy and anger in his eyes clearly, and only quietly looked at the empty wine glass in his hand, My Fair Lady, how are you a gentleman? There was a very faint smile on his lips, very cold, very cold......
