Chapter 264: Eavesdropping (1)
Xia Zhi'an snorted there and said, "I'll wait for the guests to leave before you come in."
"Yes" Xia Li raised her head and peeked at Chu Ye, and found that this person was smiling, she glared and didn't dare to say anything more, and retreated alone.
Who would have thought that this man would come here so early, and I don't know how he got into the courtyard and then into his father's house.
Xia Li retreated outside and felt that his face was feverish, and he forgot to ask who was in the two small houses just now, it was indeed she who was reckless, and she actually let Chu Ye see the embarrassment of her being reprimanded, really.
When she got outside, she interrogated the two little servants standing straight again, and said, "How did the man in the house enter the courtyard?" ”
One of the small servants said: "The doorkeeper at the door is that he himself said that the master wants to see him, let us pass, the brother who was guarding the door did not let him in, afraid that he was a liar, saying that there is no master in the yard, and then he asked us to find Miss You, and the subordinates notified the first girl, but the first girl went out directly to see this person, and then seemed to ask him in detail, he still said that the master called him here, and then the first girl came back to the master, and the master let this person come in quickly"
Xia Li didn't expect that there were such things, it seems that Chu Han knew that he was sleeping, so he made his own decision and went to ask his father.
But next time there is such a person, she can't let her subordinates let people in easily, and told the two of them there: "In the future, no matter who says that they want to see the master, let me know first, and don't talk, just tell me first." ”
The two hurriedly nodded in response, knowing that today's things were a little reckless, and they wanted to kneel down and admit their mistakes, and later they were persuaded by Xia Li again not to blame them, but to let them be careful of the bad intentions of the outsiders.
Later, Xia Li didn't leave, she wanted to hear what her father and Chu Ye said, so she found a rattan chair not far from the door and sat down.
The weather today is not very good, a little cloudy, but not cold, a bit like it is going to snow.
Winter in the capital rarely snowed in previous years, but this year it was cold early, and this time it was also cold earlier than in previous years, so it is unlikely that there will be some snow.
Xia Li sat outside and looked at the sky, and then listened carefully to the sound of conversation in the house.
I only heard my father say there: "Why did the second prince go to Henan!" ”
Chu Ye said there: "I went there to take a look because I had some personal matters, but I didn't expect to meet Governor Xia."
"Oh, that's really a coincidence" Now Xia Zhi'an's head is no longer chaotic in the daytime, so he can think and remember a lot of things.
Xia Li didn't expect his father to doubt it again, but no matter what, it was a fact that people saved him, and what he thought about it was there, there was nothing to argue, but she was a little embarrassed about Chu Ye, after all, she asked someone to go to this matter, and now that her father questioned people like this, she would have to explain a thing or two to Chu Ye, so as not to make people feel uncomfortable.
Xia Zhi'an continued there: "How long has it been since the second prince came out of the palace? ”
Chu Ye said there: "It's been more than ten years"
Xia Zhi'an said unconsciously: "Your mother ......, when I didn't go to Henan, I accidentally heard someone talk about her, saying that she was in good health and looked much better than in front of the emperor."
Chu Ye said there: "Yes, my mother is the kind of person with a big heart."
Xia Zhi'an looked at this person seriously at this time and asked, "What about you, the second prince!" Have you forgiven the emperor for what he did that day?"
Chu Ye looked back at it and said, "Did Governor Xia ask me to tell the truth or tell a lie!" ”
Xia Zhi'an nodded, and said to himself: "That's right, a child who is a few years old and can't live on his own will be kicked out of the palace like this, and no one will be relieved!" But no matter how the second prince says that the emperor is your father, this is a fact that can't be changed by anything, the son doesn't say anything about his father, you should also learn to understand! ”
Chu Xie said there: "Governor Xia is too worried, since I can't change this identity, I can only accept everything calmly" He has nothing to say about it, and he is not very willing to mention it, after all, it is like picking up the wounds of the past again, and everyone wants to forget and don't want to mention it again.
Xia Zhi'an also knew this, in fact, he just wanted to see the prince's reaction, this prince's response was better than he expected, and he nodded there to change the topic and continued:
"Has the second prince been living well outside the palace all these years?"
Chu Ye said there: "It's not good, it's not bad, it should be said to be medium!" ”
"But I think you look pretty good, you must have been taught by a master to do martial arts, and your conversation is also extraordinary, and you must have been guided by Mr., I don't know what books the second prince has read?"
Chu Ye replied truthfully: "It's not a secret, I haven't given up studying all these years, and at the age of thirteen, I was fortunate to have the guidance of a master, so Chu Ye has made great progress in martial arts and studies over the years, and I have read "Chu Ci>." ,,, I have read most of the books that I must learn. ”
"Good, good, good! is worthy of being the grandson of the first emperor, Xia is very pleased! Xia Zhi'an nodded and said, he never thought that the prince who went out of the palace could be so well educated, not only did he have good martial arts, but he could also read so many books, compared to the eldest prince, the second prince, it was really much stronger, and his hand unconsciously stroked his beard.
"Governor Xia is serious," Chu Ye hurriedly replied with his hands.
Xia Zhi'an continued: "That day, when you appeared in the man in black and rushed to save me regardless of your safety, I was dazzled for a while, thinking that it was the first emperor, but in fact, the appearance and posture of the second prince are very similar to the style of the first emperor, and he is bold in his work. Xia Zhi'an looked at the person in front of him and said seriously, in fact, there was one thing he didn't say, that is, the temperament of this second prince was not found in the prince in the palace, that is, the emperor's spirit, but he didn't dare to say it.
Chu Ye listened to this person's praise and said: "Governor Xia praised, Chu Ye just did my best" The appearance of the first emperor He was only vaguely conceded, and he couldn't remember what he looked like, he only knew that when he left the palace, it was not long after his father ascended the throne and sat on the throne.
Governor Xia said there: "Can Xia ask the second prince a word, can you reply to me truthfully?"
Chu Ye said there: "Governor Xia, please say, if Chu Ye knows, he will definitely know everything."
Xia Zhiyuan thought for a while and said, "I want to ask the second prince, what are your plans in the future?" ”
Chu Ye thought for a moment and said in question: "Do you have any plans for the current governor of the court and Xia?" ”
Xia Zhi'an smiled and said: "Today's government is no longer something I can do alone, I am afraid that Xia's illness will not be easy to heal, and it has been said whether I can share the emperor's worries anymore."
