Chapter 10 Decide to take a concubine
"You're too young to understand." Ximen Zhe touched Ximen Yichen's head.
Ximen Yichen knew that this was what his father didn't want to say, so he didn't ask any more.
"Lord Wang, Master Mo is here." Someone came to report it.
Mo Gongzi, Mo Qinghan, is the son of General Mo who succeeded Ximen Zhe in the battle of Yuehua Kingdom, and regarded Ximen Zhe as an idol when he was a teenager, although General Mo was still worried about Ximen Zhe's rebellion, but he didn't think so, and even the emperor didn't care about it, which shows that General Ximen had a different side from ordinary people. Since Ximenzhe returned home more than a year ago, he has tried his best to get close to Ximenzhe, and after unremitting efforts, he finally became one of Ximenzhe's subordinates and worked for him.
For this reason, General Mo, who is a military general, is very annoyed, but Mo Qinghan disagrees, anyway, he is loyal to the Qingyuan Dynasty, and it doesn't matter who he is with.
"Chen'er, go and play with Meng'er Qi'er." Ximen Zhe said to Ximen Yichen.
Ximen Yichen retreated knowingly.
Mo Qinghan walked into Ximen Zhe's study.
"How? Still no news? Ximen Zhe glanced at Mo Qinghan, who was a little depressed, and knew that he still had nothing to gain.
"Lord Wang, my subordinates have done their best." Mo Qinghan said helplessly. He is also a very capable person, otherwise he would not have fallen into the eyes of the West Prince, but this time he just couldn't complete the task.
"Keep looking, if you can't find it in a month, it will take a year, and if you can't find it in a year, it will take ten years, and this king can afford to wait." Simon Zhedao.
Mo Qinghan looked up at Ximen Zhe, didn't know what to say, and finally gave up, "Yes." ”
No one would have expected that he really responded to Ximenzhe's words, and he searched for a long time, although it was not ten years, but it has been five years.
In five years, Ximen Yichen grew into a fourteen-year-old boy, and in order to receive training, he and thirteen-year-old Ximen Yiqi were sent to Yuehua County by Ximen Hao to help the county government deal with affairs. After all, it was also a subject country back then, and the territory was not small, and the county government was equivalent to the former royal palace, and the affairs were also very busy.
And Ximen Yimeng was obsessed with medicine, and accidentally learned the secret of the Xuangu Ice Cliff, so he began to run there often, and followed Yi Qianyuan to learn medical skills, and sometimes lived in the Ice Cliff for several days without returning home, so that Su Ranhua sighed that the child was really old and couldn't help it. But without the children by his side, he and Ximen Hao returned to the world of two.
For five years, there is still no hostess in the West Palace, and the woman who has the closest relationship with the West King is none other than Li Xueyun, although the West King has never spoken, but Li Xueyun, who often comes to the West Palace under the pretext of taking care of the little prince, is undoubtedly the best choice for the West Princess. Moreover, Li Xueyun's reputation for being virtuous and virtuous, and her reputation for both ability and political integrity is getting louder and louder, and even remote places have jokes about her, describing her as a bodhisattva from the earth.
If such a woman doesn't become the princess of the West, she won't be able to take the turn of others.
Li Xueyun also made no secret of her infatuation with Ximenzhe, she personally told Ximenzhe that she could afford to wait, even if she was gray-haired.
Ximen Zhe really didn't find anything wrong with Li Xueyun, since she misunderstood her about being drugged back then, nothing has happened, she can hold on for so long, and the youth and brilliance that she has spent five years on him can no longer judge her only with her heart.
On this day, it was the death sacrifice of Chun Tao, and Ximen Zhe came to Wan'an Temple to chant incense for her.
Looking at the curling cigarettes, Ximen Zhe said, "Chun Tao, you said that you asked this king to find a mother and concubine for Chen'er, but how could Chen'er recognize another woman as her mother?" If you talk about the woman who takes care of Chen'er, Li Xueyun has performed really well in recent years, even if she has the intention to become the princess of the West, but five years of tempering is enough for her to get used to. Ben Wang thought, is it possible to fulfill her? At the age of twenty-four, it is already very big for a woman, and ordinary people have long been mothers, and her perseverance is still on this king. ”
There was a slight noise behind him.
Ximen Zhe's eyes lit up, and he said sharply, "Come in!" ”
Li Xueyun flashed out of the doorway, walked into the Buddhist hall, and stood in front of Ximen Zhe, with tears in her eyes, "Lord Wang......"
"Why are you here?" Simon Zhe asked.
"I know that today is the death sacrifice of Princess Xi, and I know that the prince will come to Wan'an Temple at this time every year to offer incense to Princess Xi, so I want to come and see it, and I want to ...... See the prince. Li Xueyun said, looking at Ximen Zhe with affection.
Hearing Ximenzhe's words, she couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, did he accept himself?
When Ximen Zhe was burning incense, he noticed that there was someone outside the Buddhist hall, but he didn't break it, and talked to Chun Tao by himself, until he heard the obvious movement behind him, and then he didn't speak.
Sure enough, it was Li Xueyun.
Seeing her here, Ximenzhe had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"Lord Wang, is what you just said true?" Li Xueyun gently approached Ximen Zhe, "You told Princess Xi that you want to accept Xueyun?" ”
It is not appropriate to lie to the dead in the memorial service, Li Xueyun asked Ximen Zhe like this, making Ximen Zhe feel that she was using Chun Tao to force him to ask him, which was a little uncomfortable.
Originally, according to the usual times, Li Xueyun only asked the first question, and the latter question was clearly emphasizing Chun Tao's identity and deliberately added. Ximen Zhe said that he was worthy of his heart and didn't care about being heard, but when Li Xueyun asked him like this, he seemed to be caught and felt persecuted.
has been tempered in southern Xinjiang, and set off a palace turmoil, Ximen Zhe is also good at observing words and feelings, although he did not find any particularly suspicious deeds of Li Xueyun, she behaved perfectly in front of herself, but from Li Xueyun's occasional words and deeds, such as now, Ximen Zhe feels that she is still scheming.
At first, Ximen Zhe also borrowed the mouth of Ximen Yichen to persuade Li Xueyun to give up, but Li Xueyun ran to him in person, saying that she would not give up what she believed, and said that she would wait for him to reach Baitou.
Ximen Zhe considered from his own side, and did not have much of Concubine Na's thoughts, from Chen'er's consideration, he had to find a woman for Chen'er who really loved him, so he tried it back then, but after five years, despite the urging of Concubine Yao, he did not make a decision which woman to marry.
Although there were a lot of portraits sent to the palace that year, Ximenzhe would not make a big deal about the draft, and he would not make an appointment one by one, so in the past five years, only Li Xueyun could take the opportunity to appear by Ximenzhe's side, and no other women were seen.
Ximen Zhe also personally made it clear to Li Xueyun that he had no intention of choosing a concubine, but Li Xueyun waited desperately.
In fact, Ximen Zhe didn't expect Li Xueyun to hold on for so long, with the strength of the Prime Minister's Mansion, even if she didn't marry Xiwangfu, she could marry other talents, and she wouldn't lose her, but she just waited.
Although Ximen Zhe had the intention of marrying her, he felt that Li Xueyun had a somewhat compelling tone, and he couldn't help but feel a little repulsed. But the words had already been spoken, and he could not deny it, nor could he find any more excuses for himself.
So, under Li Xueyun's eager gaze, Ximen Zhe nodded lightly.
