Chapter Thirty-Seven: All Calculations Continue

As soon as the morning dawned, Liuzi, who had fainted on the gravel road, opened his eyes in a daze, scratched his head and looked around, and after being stunned for a long time, he suddenly got up and trembled in horror.

He remembered that he didn't drink too much and slept here yesterday, but he fainted on the ground by hitting the ghost, thinking about the words of the white-clothed female ghost before he passed out, the sixth son touched the letter in his arms, hurriedly got up, didn't dare to delay for a moment, and ran towards the side courtyard of the West Chamber.

Qianqian, who was sweeping the floor in the yard, heard the footsteps and looked, and saw that Liuzi was running over in a panic in the distance, hurriedly threw down the broom in his hand, got up and stepped up the steps.

"Miss." Pushing open the door, Qianqian snickered and said, "The sixth son is really here." ”

Nian Yingxi was using her hand as a fan, fanning the mud that had just been smeared on her face and had not dried up, after listening to Qianqian's words, she stopped her hand, thought about it and lowered her voice, "Just say that I haven't gotten up yet, and tell him to wait outside." ”

Qianqian was stunned for a moment, and became puzzled, "Miss spent so much effort yesterday, didn't she just let the sixth son come?" Why is the sixth son here today, and the young lady is not in a hurry to see him? ”

"You girl, where did you come from, why?" Nian Yingxi sighed and said, "There has never been anything in this world that is not earned for nothing, not to mention that he lied yesterday first, if he didn't teach him a lesson today and let him wait a little longer to suffer a little more, how could he be afraid of me in the future?" ”

"It turns out that Miss wants Liuzi to completely listen to Miss." Qianqian suddenly realized, looking at Nian Yingxi's eyes full of admiration.

"The sixth son is still a good man, and he is also a little smart, but he is not loyal enough, he only knows how to slip between the masters, if such a person wants to take it for his own use, the first thing is to let him surrender first, the so-called surrender will be loyal, since he lacks loyalty, I will scare his submission." After Nian Yingxi finished speaking, she got up and walked to the bed, "I'll lie down for a while and tell him to wait." ”

"Yes, miss." Qianqian nodded, turned and walked out of the room.

Xuanguo Imperial Palace.

The golden glazed tiles shine brightly in the sunlight, protruding from the surrounding ancient trees, adding a natural and majestic atmosphere to the shady green trees.

In the court, the gold is splendid, everywhere is bright and yellow, on the throne of the golden lacquer carved dragon in the hall, there is a king who looks down on the world, under the crown of pure gold, is the long black hair that is high behind him, a face that charms all beings upside down, is the delicate facial features that are difficult to distinguish between male and female, and the body exudes a natural aristocratic atmosphere, even if it does not say a word, it also shocks the hearts of the civil and military officials below.

"Something to start, nothing to retreat β€”β€”!" Gonggong Gui, who was standing beside Xuan Yining and was waiting closely, shouted in his voice, and his long, shrill voice circled in the wide hall, and finally disappeared into the corridor outside.

His Highness is silent.

Utter silence, deathly silence.

It's not that these civil and military officials don't want to go to work, but now that the country is safe and secure, it really doesn't make people know what to say for a while.

In the end, Xuan Yining lightly opened his thin lips and looked directly at Li Wenze, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites in the lower left, "The holy decree that I asked Li Shangshu to draw up a few days ago has been drafted?" ”

The other officials instantly locked their eyes on Li Wenze's body, and the hundred officials knew very well that if the Ministry of Rites drafted a holy decree, almost all of them would be married by princes and nobles.

But......

Baiguan, you look at me, I look at you, and they all shook their heads in surprise, because no one had any ears, saying that there was some recent joint marriage or marriage.

Li Wenze only felt that his head hurt, his nerves twitched, and he quickly stood up in the line, "Your Majesty, the edict has been prepared, but about this matter, the minister still implores the emperor to think twice." ”

A sneer crossed Xuan Yining's lips, "Lord Li really knows how to worry about me, but this matter has been decided, so Lord Li should just pick an auspicious day and send someone to send the holy decree." ”

Li Wenze's body trembled, and he didn't dare to refute it anymore, "Weichen respectfully obeys the holy decree." ”

The other officials below were full of question marks, and no one knew who this marriage was for, and in the end, Nian Gengrong walked out of the team, and with everyone's questions, he asked cautiously, "I don't know who the emperor's family business is going to point to?" ”

Xuan Yining's brows moved, and his voice suddenly became louder, "It's for me, I don't know this answer, can Nian Aiqing be satisfied?" ”

!? Nian Gengrong was stunned, not only him, but every official below knew that Xuanguo chose a concubine every year in September, and the emperor issued an order to marry at this time, which is really a bit unbelievable?

Nian Gengrong's mind turned, and he suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the top of the main hall, "Could it be that the emperor wants to be the queen?" ”

With a question, the hall exploded, and Xuan Yining looked at the whispering ministers below, and glanced at Duke Gui beside him.

Gonggong Gui comprehended and said loudly again, "Retreatβ€”β€”! ”

As soon as Xuan Yining and Gonggong Gui left, the crowd of hundreds of officials suddenly flocked to Li Wenze, everyone said a word, they all wanted to inquire about Li Wenze's tone and see whose official's daughter was so lucky, of course, there were also some people, more to see if their own daughter was elected to the queen's position.

In the face of the inquiries of other officials, Li Wenze was dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, and he couldn't say what he was suffering, when he was drafting the holy decree, Xuan Yining personally warned him that if he leaked the queen's candidate in advance, not only Li Wenze's black gauze hat would not be guaranteed, but the head of the entire Li family might also fall to the ground.

"Could it be that Master Li has something that can't be said?" Passing over the crowd, Nian Gengrong walked over with a smile.

As soon as Li Wenze saw that it was Nian Gengrong, his already twisted face was even more pumped together, as if he could squeeze out water, staring straight at Nian Gengrong for a long time, and finally didn't say anything, and walked out of the main hall of the court through the crowd.

"Isn't it the daughter of the Nian Deputy Capital Commander who was chosen? Otherwise, why did Master Li have such an expression just now? Bazar, the commander of the Eighth Army, who has always been good at flattery, walked over with the general's stomach in his arms.

Hearing Bazar's words, the other officials also agreed, and some even began to say goodbye.

In the face of everyone's joy, Nian Gengrong's brows tightened, if it was originally, his daughter became the queen, he would definitely be happy, and felt that his ancestors had accumulated virtue, but now, he really didn't want his daughter to be the queen, after all, he was helping people plan to seek power, if it really came to the day of the forced palace, Xuan Yining would definitely use his daughter as a threat, in this way, he would lose a daughter.

He doesn't have many children himself, and after removing the lazy son, there are only two daughters left, Nian Yingchun and Nian Yingxi, Xuan Yining will never choose Nian Yingxi, so if he enters the palace, it must be Nian Yingchun, it seems that this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, and he must not let his only normal daughter become a victim of this power seeking.

Nian Mansion, West Wing Partial Courtyard.

Nian Yingxi wanted to take a nap in bed, but she didn't expect that as soon as her spirit relaxed, she really slept deeply for a long time, until all her muscles and tense nerves were completely relaxed, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"Miss is awake?" Qianqian, who was sitting by the window, got up and poured Nian Yingxi a cup of tea.

Nian Yingxi got up and looked out the window, and saw that Liuzi was still standing in the middle of the courtyard, his clothes had already been soaked with sweat, so he retracted his gaze and took the teacup, and asked lightly, "He has been standing here?" ”

Qianqian is very sure, "I have never moved, and I have never even gone to a thatched house." After she cleaned up the yard, she sat in the house and stared at Liuzi, thinking that he would not last long, but she didn't expect that Liuzi was really standing in the yard from beginning to end.

"Looks like he really knows it's scared." Taking a sip of tea, Nian Ying smiled, "Go and bring him in." ”

Qianqian nodded, turned around and went out, and in the blink of an eye, she walked into the house again with the six sons who were a little prostrate.

Liuzi waited for almost a day from the fright last night, and when he finally saw Nian Yingxi, he was excited as if a lost child had seen his mother, and he couldn't help kneeling on the ground, and the dignified seven-foot man actually cried, "Second Miss spare your life, Second Miss spare your life!" ”

'Poof', Qianqian laughed, very relieved, and told these six sons to usually slip and slip, and this time finally taught him a lesson.

Nian Yingxi didn't stop Qianqian from snickering, but also hooked her lips funny, "What you said really surprised me, why did I make you beg for mercy so much?" ”

The sixth son kowtowed to the ground 'dangdang', and was already incoherent, "Last night, the slave bumped into the demon on the second miss, and knew that it must have been the slave who deceived the second miss and provoked the ghost, and now I came to compensate the second miss for ......." ”

"Wait." Nian Yingxi was full of long legs, and used her feet to block Liuzi's head that was about to knock on the ground, and interrupted him with a smile, "You can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, you can't be in vain, I can't be blessed." After a pause, she leaned down, looked directly into the eyes of the sixth son, and lowered her voice, "And there is a wrong, and there is a debtor, isn't it?" ”

The sixth son was not stupid, but now when he heard his own words yesterday, he now came out of Nian Yingxi's mouth, knowing that Nian Yingxi had admitted the evil thing, his eyes turned, and he lowered his head and slammed it to the ground, "If the second lady has any orders, just explain it, the sixth son must be there!" "He thinks about it, as long as he makes the evil ghost disappear in front of his eyes from now on, don't say it's an errand, he just eats.

Nian Yingxi nodded with satisfaction, and instructed Qianqian beside her, "Go and move a stool over, let Liuzi rest, don't finish the conversation for a while, this person fainted first, if you see anything unclean again, what if you see something unclean?" ”

As soon as Liuzi heard the words 'unclean things', his body shook again, Qianqian pursed her lips and smiled when she saw it, and moved the stool next to Liuzi, "Sit down, as long as you listen to my young lady's words, my young lady is full of righteousness, and those things that shouldn't be seen, you will naturally not be able to see them in the future." ”

"Alas, what Miss Qianqian said is ......" Liuzi got up and nodded again and again, and sat down in his chair.
