Izuku never expected that he would have the opportunity to visit King Cheng's mansion again in his lifetime, and it was King Cheng's mansion in the imperial city of Jingzhou.

If she wasn't really desperate, she wouldn't have taken the liberty of making this trip. First, Nie Peixiao's newlywed Yan'er, whether she is a widowed wife or a so-called bosom friend of Han Chu, these two identities are not suitable for visiting the Chengwang Mansion;

Moreover, Empress Dowager Ye "hanged herself", the status of the Ye family plummeted, and Nie Peixiao was forced to marry the daughter of the Xie family, which in itself was a disguised method of self-preservation. Based on this situation, Chuxiu did not want to let Nie Peixiao get into this troubled water.

But in the end, she still came. Since he could no longer come forward in the name of the Yun family, he couldn't visit the family openly, so he could only rely on his personal friends in the past and find a way through a few well-connected Mrs. Hui.

But with little success.

In the end, as a last resort, I came to King Cheng's Mansion with a cheeky face. Nie Peixiao's princess Xie Peili greeted her in person, and her attitude was very friendly: "I've been hearing my aunt mention you, I originally planned to go to Lixinhou Mansion to visit you after returning to Fangzhou with the prince." We didn't know we hadn't even set off yet, but you came first. ”

Xie Peili said politely, and her tone was very delicate and lovely. Izumi couldn't help but look at her, only to feel that she had both delicate and gentle temperaments, although she was not peerless, but at first glance she was a delicate and clear smart person.

Also, Mrs. Xie's niece and granddaughter, the concubine of the Xie family, how can she not be smart?

I don't know what Xie Peili has heard, and does she know her "bosom friend" relationship with Nie Peixiao? But since the other party looked unaware, she naturally avoided sensitive topics, and only asked politely: "I took the liberty to visit the mansion, and I really have something important to discuss with His Royal Highness King Cheng, I wonder if he can take the time to meet?" ”

Xie Peili pondered for a moment, and replied in embarrassment: "Your Highness is seeing guests...... I heard that it was a general from the Northland. I'm afraid at the moment...... Not very convenient. ”

Xie Peili is newly married, and his foundation in King Cheng's Mansion is not stable, so if he boldly interrupts Nie Peixiao's hospitality, it will be difficult to do. Although Izumi was very anxious in her heart, she didn't want to embarrass Xie Peili, so she reluctantly smiled: "Then I'll come back to visit another day." ”

"Don't worry, why don't you sit here?" Xie Peili hurriedly opened his mouth to stay at the guest, and smiled at Chuxiu: "There is only one guest, so it must not be long, why don't you wait a while?" Just talk to me. ”

Hearing this, Izuku raised her eyes to look at Xie Peili again, and inadvertently saw a bit of urgency on her face. But why did she "urgently" keep herself? Izuku tries to figure out what she's really thinking.

And Xie Peili has always had a decent smile on her face and a generous tone, but she can't hide a bit of nervousness and pleading in her eyes.

In an instant, Chuxiu understood the meaning in her eyes - Xie Peili was afraid that she would come and go in a hurry, and Nie Peixiao knew that she would blame her for failing to keep guests in the future.

This alone was enough for Chuxiu to conclude that Xie Peili must know something...... At the very least, she should have heard some rumors in the market, such as the ambiguous relationship between King Cheng and Mrs. Izumi, etc.

What a delicate person! Izumi sighed in her heart, and couldn't help but feel happy for Nie Peixiao. With such a Cheng princess, there will be a lot less friction between husband and wife. There are some things and some things, Xie Peili will carefully hide them in his heart and live his life with an inclusive and tacit attitude.

Which couple can't tolerate each other? Love may not last long, but there is nothing wrong with respecting each other.

Just like Emperor Tianzhu and Queen Zhuang, they respect each other and tolerate each other, which is enough to become a model for the world.

Izuku was feeling happy for Nie Peixiao, but suddenly heard a sound of talking outside the living room, and a man with a northern accent said outside: "Your Highness stays, I will leave." ”

Xie Peili was overjoyed when she heard this, and immediately smiled at Chuxiu: "It was His Highness who came out of the study." ”

Out of Xiu was afraid that Nie Peixiao would go out, and she didn't want to miss this opportunity, so she hurriedly went out with Xie Peili. As soon as I stepped out of the threshold, I saw two men standing on the corridor outside the hall, laughing at each other.

A bearded man, thirty or forty, dressed energetically, looks like a martial artist;

The other person is in a purple and gold robe, with a face like a crown of jade, and his extravagance is compelling, it is Nie Peixiao who has not been seen for a long time.

For some reason, before meeting Nie Peixiao, Izumi was very anxious. But now that she saw him, she couldn't take a step, let alone how to make that request. knew that Nie Peixiao must be very embarrassed, but she still came to this trip selfishly......

At this time, Nie Peixiao had also seen Chuxiu, but he didn't show half surprise on his face, but looked expected.

Out of Xiu had no choice but to walk over and salute Nie Peixiao: "I've seen Your Highness." ”

If you think about it, the two haven't seen each other for nine months. The last time it was reported that Empress Dowager Ye had died, Izumi comforted Nie Peixiao in person......

Feng Shui takes turns, and this time it was replaced by herself.

"You're here." Nie Peixiao saw Chuxiu's embarrassed expression, and asked with a faint smile: "You are also here to intercede for Zifeng?" ”

"Also?" Izuku couldn't help but murmur, and asked rhetorically, "Is there anyone else looking for you?" ”

Nie Peixiao glanced at the bearded man beside him, pursed his lips and said nothing.

The bearded man noticed Xiu at this time, and he originally glanced at it lightly, but after only one glance, he couldn't take his eyes off it, and said bluntly: "This young lady is really ...... Beauty. ”

The bearded man wanted to use some words to describe Xiu's appearance, but in the end, he only thought of the word "beauty".

Hearing this, Izumi couldn't cry or laugh a little, but he didn't care about explaining his identity, and only bowed to the bearded man Yingying, which was considered a courtesy. Then, she turned to look at Nie Peixiao again: "I wonder if Your Highness can move to a second place?" ”

Nie Peixiao was about to speak back, but when she heard the bearded man suddenly say "oops", he pointed at Chuxiu and said suddenly, "Are you from the Yun clan?" ”

Izuku was stunned for a moment, and nodded unconsciously in acknowledgement.

The bearded man was so surprised that he slapped his hands again and again, and laughed out loud: "I know who you are!" You are the sweetheart of Wei Yuanhou! ”

Obviously, the bearded man would be wrong, and thought that Xiu was the daughter of the Yun family, so he sighed again: "Miss Yun and Master Hou are really ...... A talented and beautiful woman, a match made in heaven! ”

As soon as these words came out, Nie Peixiao's face immediately sank, and she was quite embarrassed. Xie Peili reacted the fastest, and asked the bearded man with a blink of a smile: "Will General Zhu stay in the mansion to eat?" ”

This bearded man was the Zhu general in the north, and he heard that King Cheng and Shen Yu had a very good personal education, so he took the liberty to come to the door to ask for help. Unexpectedly, I met Izuxiu.

Hearing that Xie Peili kept her own meal, General Zhu didn't understand that she was chasing away guests, but thought about it seriously before refusing: "Don't work for the princess, I still have some personal matters on my side, so I will leave." ”

After that, he looked at Nie Peixiao again, and said very sincerely: "Since Miss Yun is here, the last general will not bother much and say goodbye." ”

Nie Peixiao looked displeased, and whispered "um": "This king asked Feng Fei to send General Zhu out." ”

General Zhu said a few more polite words, and then left accompanied by Feng Fei.

At this point, Xie Peili also said to Chuxiu with interest: "Madame's first time here, no matter what, you have to stay for dinner." I went and instructed my servants to prepare the ingredients. She bowed to Nie Pei and retreated.

Nie Peixiao saw Xie Peili walking away, so she looked at Xiu Zhengse: "Go to my study and talk." ”

The two walked into the study of King Cheng's Mansion in silence, and Nie Peixiao looked at Xiu without any scruples: "You have lost weight." ”

The tip of Xiu's nose was sour, and he bowed to Nie Peixiao: "I haven't congratulated you on your wedding." The princess ...... Very good. ”

"That's pretty good." Nie Peixiao rarely brought up this topic and asked again: "Zifengren hasn't arrived in Jingzhou yet, and you started running for him, isn't it too early?" ”

Since the other party is straight to the point, there is no need to hide it anymore: "I'm just too late, not too early." ”

Seeing that Chuxiu did not hide her gloomy color, Nie Peixiao's heart twitched, and she was silent for a moment and sighed: "I thought that you would come to me first, but I didn't expect to make me wait for a few days." ”

Hearing this, Izuxiu's heart suddenly rejoiced: "Your Highness......"

But before her joy was dyed on her eyebrows, she was disheartened by Nie Peixiao's next sentence: "I even thought of a prevarication, just waiting for you to come to me." ”

Chu Xiuzhi felt dizzy, and couldn't believe that Nie Peixiao would refuse bluntly: "Don't you have a good relationship with him?" ”

"Friendship is friendship, and reason is reason. Zifeng did commit a serious crime, and with the temper of the imperial brother, he had no way out. Nie Peixiao replied neatly: "At the beginning, I had already spent a lot of effort to protect my son and entered the office, and I had to rely on Prime Minister Zhuang to help." Now that his crime is even more serious, and I can't protect myself, I really can't help it...... I'm sorry. ”

Izumi originally thought that Nie Peixiao would hesitate and consider, but now seeing that the other party was resolute, she couldn't speak again.

"I took the liberty of requesting, and I understand your difficulties." Izumi forcibly endured his disappointment: "In that case, I'll leave first." ”

On the way here, Izuku had already thought about it, and if Nie Peixiao felt reluctant, she would never beg bitterly. She had already decided to live and die with Shen Yu, and right now, she was just fighting for the most likely opportunity.

Izumi lowered her eyebrows, trying her best to look calm and calm, unwilling to lose her temper here and give her mind to life.

And Nie Peixiao didn't say anything to stay, he kept looking at her, as if waiting for her to plead. He was so eager to open his arms to comfort her, how could the woman in front of him refuse to be thousands of miles away.

Seeing that Chu Xiu turned around and was about to walk out of the door, it was at this moment that Nie Peixiao spoke again: "Wait!" Maybe I'll think about it. ”
