Shen Jia smiled lightly, noncommittal.

"You have nothing to do but ascend the Three Treasures Palace, what are you doing now?"

Compared with Shen Jia's straightforward and straight to the point, Hua Xiyan is much calmer: "It's just that I heard that the pandan girl with red sleeves is very popular, and the prince often stays nostalgic for a whole day and never returns home, but I am curious, so I came to take a look." ”

There was no disrespect in Hua Xiyan's words, just a little ridicule, Shen Jia couldn't help laughing when he heard it: "He stays here with me, and he spends seventy percent of his time watching me dance, what else do you think he can do?" ”

"It's not that I think it's someone who can't help it." Hua Xiyan couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the face of Yun Wei on the first floor he saw just now, which was a little colder than a thousand-year-old iceberg.

"It's not that he doesn't know who I am, if he doesn't even trust me, it's better to get together and disperse as soon as possible."

A faint sentence inadvertently hooked up Hua Xiyan's unpleasant memory. A smile that didn't have time to dissipate froze at the corners of his mouth, and the whole person stiffened.

Shen Jia saw that Hua Xiyan was unnatural, but she didn't know what happened to her and Yun Qi, so she couldn't help but ask with concern, "What's wrong?" ”

Hua Xiyan closed his eyes slightly, supported his forehead with his hand, and sighed lightly: "It's okay." ”

Shen Jia obviously didn't believe it, so Hua Xiyan had to quickly ask: "Ning Xuan is here with you, except for watching you dance, but what did you say?" ”

Shen Jia raised his hand to pour tea for Hua Xiyan, nodded and said, "In the first days, he was indeed a little jealous of me. But after the accident with the Wen family, he obviously lacked a lot of mental strength, and when he talked to me, he would also reveal some things. ”

Hua Xiyan knew that the "thing" in Shen Jia's mouth was by no means simple, so he also listened carefully.

"One of my enemies is the Li family and the other is the Wen family. The Wen family has now lost power, and there is only one Li family left. Do you know who the head of the Li family is now? ”

Hua Xiyan nodded: "The head of the Li family in Longxi is Li Ye, the Duke of Rongguo, and the head of the Li family in Zhaojun is Li Xuan, the general of Wuwei. ”

The three sons of the Li family are, in addition to these two, there is also Li Shouzhen's father, Li Yao, the general of Longxi. These three people were originally the third sons of the Li family in Longxi, but later due to the incompetence of the people of Zhao County, the third master Li Xuan invited himself to Zhao County, and supported the entire Zhao County branch by himself. Therefore, the relationship between the two branches of Longxi Zhao County is very close, just like the Wang family.

"Shengtian is now one of the ten major families, and the head of each family holds the supreme power within the family and is the core of the entire family, so no matter how there are changes within the family, the entire family is ultimately obeyed by the head of the family."

Although Shen Jia's words are correct, they have nothing to do with the topic they are talking about, how can it be related to the head of the family? But according to Hua Xiyan's understanding of Shen Jia, she would never say a bit of nonsense, and sure enough, after a while, Shen Jia spoke again.

"Do you know who the head of the Lanling Xiao family is?"

Hua Xiyan frowned and thought for a moment, then asked tentatively: "Isn't it Zuo Xiang?" ”

"It's not." Shen Jia shook her head with great certainty, "I can't imagine it, it's Zuo Xiang's youngest daughter, Xiao Yetong." ”

Hua Xiyan's eyes widened violently, looking at Shen Jia's look that didn't seem to be joking, and asked in amazement: "The Lanling Xiao family is such a huge family, the head of the family is actually a little girl?" ”

"I was surprised when I first found out." Shen Jia was very satisfied with Hua Xiyan's reaction, "Not to mention that there is a left minister in the Lanling Xiao family, there are more talented people in the clan, and the elders are still there, and the position of the head of the family has fallen to a little girl." ”

"Did Ning Xuan say it?"

"Yes. So he recently planned to abolish Wen Guiyi and marry Xiao Yetong as the crown princess, so as to win the support of the Xiao family in Lanling. ”

Only then did Hua Xiyan understand what Shen Jia meant by what he said just now. A family is naturally focused on the head of the family, and Xiao Yetong, as the head of the family, is naturally the core. Although Concubine Xiao Wan has a son, once Xiao Yetong marries Ning Xuan, the entire Xiao family will definitely stand on the side of Ning Xuan, who has the head of their family, in the end.

So just now she heard what Xiao Yetong and Ning Ye said when they were fighting, it was not nonsense. Ning Xuan really had that plan.

"Normally, he wouldn't tell me these things at all, but the day after the last Wen family's accident, he was so angry that he told me his plan. However, he doesn't seem to plan to abolish Wen Guiyi now, and wait for things to calm down a little before abolishing the crown princess, otherwise he is afraid that it will cause Emperor Tianlong's disgust. ”

Since Ning Xuan knew that Xiao Yetong was the head of the Xiao family, it was impossible for Yun Qi not to know. Since he knew, why didn't he encourage Ning Ye to marry Xiao Yetong? After all, Ning Ye is his person, and if he marries Xiao Yetong, it will be ten thousand benefits to him.

The most important thing is that Xiao Yetong is willing to marry Ning Ye.

"He also said that after I congratulate the emperor on his birthday, he will welcome me into the prince's mansion." Shen Jia pursed his lips, and seemed to be extremely disgusted with the prince's mansion.

"What position is he going to give you? The crown prince's side concubine? Prince Zhaoxun? ”

Shen Jia propped her chin, blinked with a pair of beautiful eyes, and suddenly laughed: "After the emperor's birthday, is there a prince, or is it another way to say?" ”

"Abolishing the crown prince is not a trivial matter, you think too lightly." Hua Xiyan leaned back in the chair and said, although his tone was disapproving, but there was no disapproval in his eyes.

"Spending 200,000 taels of gold to buy someone to show filial piety is indeed filial piety." Shen Jia covered her lips in one sleeve and smiled wildly.

Hua Xiyan glanced at Shen Jia, thinking that Ning Xuan was really pitiful, he spent so much money, but he didn't have a good image in the hearts of beauties, which was really sad.

"Although Ning Xuan is nothing, the Empress Li behind him is not a good stubble, you must be careful."

Shen Jia stopped laughing, nodded slowly, and said, "I know that woman is a powerful character, and I have always been careful to avoid it." Every time she said she wanted to see me, she was blocked by Ning Xuan. After a few days, she didn't bother herself. ”

"Ning Xuan had a conflict with Yun Yang today, coupled with the fact that the prince's mansion went to the water, and the marriage with Xiao Yetong has never been successful, such a bunch of things are rushing together, which is enough for them to be busy for a while, and Empress Li should not be able to spare his hand to find trouble with you."

Shen Jia nodded lazily, with a full expression of comfort on her face.

The two chatted casually a few more words, and Shen Jia's maidservant came up, saying that it was time to practice the dance. After everything that should be said, Hua Xiyan didn't linger much, got up and said goodbye.

Shen Jia herself loves to dance, so in this lonely and empty place, it can be regarded as a kind of fun.

Hua Xiyan made a red-sleeved move, and saw the firelight of the Prince's Mansion reflecting half of the sky.

I suddenly remembered that when I was in Taiyuan, I had set fire to the Li Mansion, and the firelight at that time was also like this, as if it was going to exhaust all the light and heat in the world, showing a gorgeous and colorful picture.

Ning Xuan...... Hua Xiyan shook his head slightly, and Shi Shiran returned to the palace under the cover of night.

Just changed her clothes and didn't do anything, Aunt Ying came.

It was already past the hour, and the time was really not too early, Hua Xiyan opened the door with some doubts.

A strange look flashed on Aunt Ying's face, looking at Hua Xiyan, and she stopped talking.

"Aunt Ying?" Hua Xiyan ran his hair through his loose hair and spoke suspiciously.

"There's something going on in the front yard, Grandpa Guo asked me to invite Miss."

Hua Xiyan nodded, didn't ask much, just said, "Go over there." ”

"Miss's hair...... I don't care about delaying it for a while......" Aunt Ying looked at Hua Xiyan's thin clothes and opened her mouth to dissuade her.

"Just go ahead." Hua Xiyan walked away without looking back.

Aunt Ying looked at Hua Xiyan's hair gently raised under the night breeze, thinking about the charm she saw when the young lady opened the door just now, she felt a woman's heartbeat, if it was seen by those people outside, how many people should it be?

"Miss......" Aunt Ying shouted again and chased after her quickly, but Hua Xiyan's footsteps were extremely fast, and she arrived in the front yard in a short time.

At a glance, looking at the red color of the courtyard, Hua Xiyan knew why Wang Yao let him come here so late.

A person who had not been seen for a long time was standing in the courtyard, it was He Lanhao, the eighth prince of Xiling.

"Eighth Prince, what do you mean by that?" Hua Xiyan bowed to Helan and asked directly.

Helan Hao looked at the woman who suddenly appeared in front of him like a goddess, and her face was stunned for a moment. Xu is because she wants to go to bed, she is wearing a wide plain skirt, and now this is full of night breeze fluttering, and the green silk is not in a bun, but straight down, swinging an arc behind her. And her whole body was smooth under the light of the bright light in this courtyard, and her bright eyes were surprisingly bright in this hazy halo.

Hua Xiyan frowned quietly, and a breeze blew from the stage arm. Awakened Helande, who was wandering outside the world.

Helan Hao let out an "oh", and then continued: "As the second lady saw, I am here to propose marriage." ”

"The Eighth Prince. I have already rejected you once when I was in Taiyuan. Wang Yao stepped forward and quietly blocked Hua Xiyan behind her, covering her naked gaze.

Helan Hao had the same smile on his face as always, and he didn't feel that Wang Yao's words were half inappropriate: "When I was in Taiyuan, it was the prince who was too hasty and careless, and the grandfather of the country should refuse." ”

Hua Xiyan glanced at the big red wooden boxes placed in the courtyard, but they were several times more than the last time in Taiyuan.

"This prince has already repaired his father's book, and his father is willing to let this prince marry Miss Wang Er with national courtesy, because he thinks that the eighth prince is the concubine!"

Helan Hao didn't plan to be an emperor either, so he naturally didn't care if his wife was from Xiling. He just wanted to marry her, and his father could provide such good conditions, which was also in line with his wishes.

"The national rite is a regulation after the establishment, and the Eighth Prince is really joking." Wang Yao's face was still not dewy, and He Lanhao couldn't see what he meant, and even the words he said were not half emotional.

"This prince never laughs, and the grandfather can see clearly, what kind of regulations are the dowry brought by this prince today!" Helan Hao's words were sonorous, and although his words were smiling, he looked like he was bound to win.

Hua Xiyan opened his mouth and was about to speak, but was interrupted by another elegant voice that came with the night wind: "Even if you bring half of the country today, you have to give me a polite way back!" ”
