After a year of life in Liuyun Villa, just after the fifteenth day of the first month, Izuku began to make friends with various families according to the original plan. She came to Jingzhou in person this time, brought a lot of rare treasures, and sent the Jingzhou branch of Yun's Qianzhuang to pay attention to it on her behalf, looking for some rare treasures for use.

Of the families in this Jingzhou city, the first one to go out of Xiu was the father-in-law of King Mu Nie Peihan - Zuo Xiangfu. Due to the unpleasant quarrel with Nie Peixiao on Chinese New Year's Eve, Izuku also said that he would not let him care about Shen Yu's affairs anymore. In this way, she had to retreat to the second, hoping to use the left minister to mediate on behalf of Shen Yu and speak for Shen Yu in the court.

Unexpectedly, going to Zuo Xiang's Mansion was far smoother than Xiu imagined, Zuo Xiang heard about Shen Yu's matter, and just thought about it for a moment and responded happily, and it was even clearer and more cheerful than Nie Peixiao's attitude at the beginning.

It was a bonus, and I didn't know how to express my gratitude. However, with the noble demeanor and powerful position of the left minister, no amount of gold, silver, jewelry, and antiques and curiosities could not enter his eyes, and he had to owe this great favor.

But what she didn't know was that she left the Zuo Xiang's Mansion on the front foot, and someone went to the Chengjun Wangfu to report on the back foot, and only brought a sentence to Nie Peixiao - "The Zuo Xiang lives up to the trust".

*****

Throughout the New Year, Izuku was busy socializing in Jingzhou City, and Nie Peixiao did not appear again, as if he was really dead, and there was no movement.

This made Izuku breathe a long sigh of relief, and he also put the matter between him and Nie Peixiao behind him for the time being. Just arrived at the beginning of February, dealt with a few business, and unexpectedly received a secret letter from King Mu - "within three days, leave Jingzhou quickly".

Izumi didn't ask much, she could have a hunch that King Mu was about to start making a move. After all, now he will stay in Jingzhou for a long time and gradually take charge of the Nanxi dynasty as a regent, and before that, he must purge his political enemies to ensure that he can rest easy when he ascends the throne in the future.

Izuku boldly guessed that the person Mu Wang was going to deal with must be related to himself or the Yun clan - the Ming clan, otherwise King Mu would not have deliberately let her leave Jingzhou quickly. Izuxiu was also afraid that Helian Qi and Mingying would jump over the wall in a hurry, and then gossip about her and get her involved, so she hurriedly finished handling the chores at hand, and ordered Yun Xian Mingzhe to protect herself, and then left with Yunfu and the others, and returned to Yanlan City in a mighty way.

Because he was in a hurry, he didn't mention too much to others, so by the time Nie Peixiao knew about it, he had already been out of the city for a day.

For more than a month, Nie Peixiao has been in a cold war with King Mu, and at the same time thinking about how to deal with the relationship with Xiu. Some decisions will be clear, and he can feel that they are too complicated, and this relationship is no longer something he can decide alone.

Izuxiu's identity as the Yun family's mother, the resistance of the seventh brother and the mother concubine, and the hurt of gossip...... The most important thing is that Izuku is not tempted at all now.

The road ahead is full of difficulties and thorns, and every time she thinks about it, Nie Peixiao feels a headache. And to let him, a person who is not in love, come up with a foolproof plan in a short period of time, he can't do it......

I don't know if the cold war between Nie Peixiao and King Mu was too obvious, or the former's worried appearance was not well concealed, in short, his heart was finally discovered by Ye Guifei.

One afternoon in mid-February, the mother and son had lunch in Yingyuan Palace, and Nie Peixiao was forced to ask by Ye Guifei step by step, so she simply said her thoughts in desperation. Of course, he covered up the past of Chuxiu is Hanchu, and only deduced that he admired the sound of his piano, and finally fell into it.

He had already expected the worst, so he was fearless.

Unbeknownst to him, after hearing about her beloved son's ups and downs, Ye Guifei was not as annoyed as Nie Peixiao expected, but laughed out loud: "You kid also has some vision, that Mrs. Xiu was born with a lot of country and city, and she is a person with exquisite skills, even my mother and I have to be tempted to look at it!" ”

"Mother!" Nie Peixiao looked at Ye Guifei in surprise, feeling incredulous at her attitude.

Ye Guifei and Mrs. Tai are of the same age, but they are very different in temperament and dress. Probably because Mrs. Xie is the mother of the house, she works hard, so she is not younger than Ye Guifei, and she is more dignified and stable from grooming to dressing.

Looking at Ye Guifei again, she has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and the two sons under her knees have infinite scenery, which has also created an arrogant demeanor between her eyebrows, dressed gorgeously and richly, and looks like she is seven or eight years younger than Mrs. Xie. And this is also the point that she is most proud of - well-maintained.

Ye Guifei laughed to herself for a long time, until the fine lines at the corners of her eyes were no longer difficult to hide, and then she slapped the table and said, "Good boy, do you really like Mrs. Xiu?" ”

Nie Peixiao nodded truthfully: "I really like it." ”

"How much do you like it?"

Nie Peixiao thought for a while and replied solemnly: "Approximately, I won't meet someone I like more." ”

Ye Guifei sighed: "If you say so now, it is difficult to guarantee that after ten or eight years, you will not have a new love." ”

Nie Peixiao smiled bitterly: "That's different. If my mother had listened to her piano, she would have known why I couldn't extricate myself. ”

"I just look at her appearance and temperament, and I understand." Ye Guifei smiled and sighed: "What's more, you are obsessed with music, if her piano sound is praised by you, it must not be bad." ”

Nie Peixiao saw that her mother was praising her concubine, and she was half puzzled: "Why didn't my mother scold me?" Don't see the irritation? You're ......"

"What's wrong with me?" Ye Guifei raised her delicate eyebrows: "You are my only son, you like a woman, and I feel sorry for her for her, can I bear to break you up?" What's more, who is Mrs. Izuku? That's the head of the Yun family! She is not a shallow lady, but also an ally of your seventh brother...... If you can win her heart, it's too late for me to be happy! ”

"Mother concubine......" Nie Peixiao became more and more incredulous the more she listened: "What do you mean, you don't object?" ”

"What am I against? It's not a matter of what you're worried about, silly boy, a slap can't make a sound, and the most important thing is that Mrs. Xiu is willing. Ye Guifei nodded with a smile: "What status, what chastity archway, do you really want her to follow you in the name of the widow of the Yun family?" At that time, she will naturally change her name and surname, and change her innocent identity. ”

Ye Guifei took a sip of tea slowly, and then said: "When the time comes, I will announce to the public that Mrs. Zhuxiu is dead, and I will find a trustworthy person for her to take her as her daughter, isn't it okay?" It can not only preserve the prestige of the Yun family, but also not delay her remarriage...... In the future, even if someone thinks she looks like, as long as we insist that Mrs. Xiu is dead, can they still dig a grave for verification? ”

"Mother! That's a good idea! Nie Peixiao was overjoyed, only to feel that the problem that had been haunting her for many days had been solved.

"You! He was a merry and shrewd person in front of him, and when he encountered this love thing, wouldn't his brain turn a corner? Ye Guifei seemed to be disgusted and loved: "As for your seventh brother, you don't have to worry." He himself is a loser in the love field, and he can't compete for courtiers, what other good experience can he teach you? I came to persuade him about this, so I have raised him for so many years, I agreed, and he can still manage it? Besides, your seventh brother loves you the most, if you go to him and admit your mistake, there will be nothing left. ”

Nie Peixiao saw that Ye Guifei agreed so happily, and only felt unusual: "Do you really want me to marry Xiu?" ”

"Yes! How unwilling! Wouldn't it be enough to give her the name of a side concubine. She is a married person and a servant girl, is she still trying to be your princess? Ye Guifei blocked Nie Peixiao's Xiao Xiang with a word: "After your seventh brother unifies the north and south, you will be the most noble person in the world besides him, so isn't the Yun clan bowing down to your seventh brother?" At that time, she will be a widow of the Yun family, and she will only be able to marry you as a side concubine, and she will not be low! ”

Be a side concubine...... Nie Peixiao couldn't help frowning and hesitating, remembering that Xiu didn't even disdain his position as the main concubine, how could he be willing to condescend to the side concubine? But he also understands that it is not easy for Ye Guifei to nod and agree now, and as for the matter of reputation, he can only take his time.

It's just that Nie Peixiao still can't understand after thinking about it, in terms of the relationship between his mother and Mrs. Xie, why would she approve of this marriage?

Seeing Aiko's puzzled face, Ye Guifei knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help but hide her face and laugh "giggle": "She Xie Shudan has been riding on my head for most of her life, and now it's time for me to turn over." Isn't she the most important Mrs. Xiu? I'm going to snatch it up, so that her Yun family will not be the housewife! It's better that my family background has plummeted, and I'm even happier! ”

The more Ye Guifei spoke, the more she felt happy in her heart, and she couldn't close the chatterbox and gushed endlessly: "If I become the queen mother in the future, I will be one level higher than her, and the Yun family is looking forward to your seventh brother, and she Xie Shudan is not at my kneading?" As long as I think that you married her most important daughter-in-law, and her nose is crooked, I feel comfortable in my heart! ”

"I want her to understand that her son is a short-lived ghost, and her daughter-in-law has to become my daughter-in-law and abandon her!" Ye Guifei seemed to be finally relieved, and her slender and delicate right hand gently patted Nie Peixiao's shoulder to appease: "What you have to do now is to touch Mrs. Xiu's heart." Everything else is not a problem, I will solve everything for you with my mother! ”

Hearing this reason, Nie Peixiao really couldn't cry or laugh, he really couldn't understand a woman's mind. Sometimes great principles and pride in the eyes of men are not worth mentioning in the eyes of women; And sometimes men regard small things as dust, but women have to think about them for a long time.

is like his mother, in order to fight with Mrs. Xie, everything can be changed...... Although the reason and experience of this are really ridiculous, but in the end, the ending is good, he has passed the level of the mother, and maybe, there will be no problem for the seventh brother.

But how did he move Xiu's heart? Even though he has peerless weapons and eighteen kinds of martial arts, the other party sticks to a city that is difficult to conquer, and his heart is as solid as a golden copper wall, so that he has no way to start.

It was already dark night when he came out of Yingyuan Palace, Nie Peixiao deliberately went around the palace wall to take a look, and took a panoramic view of the entire Jingzhou City, and vaguely saw a corner of the night view of Liuyun Villa.

Looking back, the main hall of Yingyuan Palace is brilliant in the night, magnificent and gorgeous, just like the nine-fold palace in the sky, smiling at the joys and sorrows of the world.

Even if he is the pride of the sky and the royal family, what can he do?

In life, no one can escape the word "love".
