Zihan was finally left in the imperial mausoleum, but how to deal with her, Emperor Tianzhu did not make a final judgment, and only sent someone to send her aconite soup.

All those who know the inside story are silent. Emperor Tianzhu's "prostitution" incident at the funeral ceremony of Empress Dowager Ye seems to have come to an end.

On the way back to Yingyuan Palace, the emperor sat in the carriage with a gloomy face and did not say a word. Nie Peixiao didn't know the inside story, he only knew that the Heavenly Emperor had sent Zihan, but for what reason, he didn't ask, and he didn't have the heart to ask.

Nie Peixiao didn't respond to the Yuan Palace again, and went straight back to his mansion in Jingzhou.

Three days later, Emperor Tianzhu officially issued an order, and went to the Imperial Mausoleum of Pingling Mountain to guard the tomb of Empress Xiaociren with the tea palace of Ci'en Palace, and was not allowed to return to the palace for life.

Ying Yuan Palace seemed to have regained calm again, but the emperor's temper became more and more irritable and suspicious, and sometimes even Cen Jiang did not dare to serve closely.

But Danxin seemed to think about it and calmed down, she seemed to be a different person, no longer afraid of the Heavenly Emperor, and went to Yingyuan Palace every day as usual. But this time, it was the turn of Emperor Tianzhu to avoid her, and often found various reasons to send her out, and treated her more and more coldly day by day.

The gossip in the palace spread very quickly. Everyone said that the light-hearted girl in the holy study fell out of favor, angered Long Yan in the imperial tomb, and was treated coldly.

In the face of these troubled rumors, he seemed very calm—a kind of peace of mind.

So at the end of September, the Ministry of Rites began to arrange the marriage of King Cheng Nie Peixiao. Danxin made an appointment with him alone in private and expressed his intention to leave the palace.

Nie Peixiao agreed, and only said that let Danxin go back and wait for good news. Two days later, he entered the palace to face the saint because he was discussing marriage, and he mentioned the matter of his heart: "The courtier brother still has something to remind the imperial brother." Danxin is twenty-five years old, and she has been serving in the palace for two years, so it is time to let her out of the palace. ”

Hearing this, the always calm Emperor Tianzhu changed color in an instant, and his phoenix eyes looked at Nie Peixiao with heavy eyes: "This is the meaning of indifference?" Why didn't she come and tell me herself? ”

Nie Peixiao raised her eyebrows: "It's not all her own meaning, and this is what Izumi means, I also think that according to her indifferent temperament, it is not suitable to stay in the palace." As he spoke, he observed Emperor Tianzhu's face, and added: "Danxin is not young, if she doesn't go out of the palace to marry again, it will really delay her life." ”

Hearing the word "marry", Emperor Tianzhu's eyebrows were even more frowned, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Seeing this, Nie Peixiao suddenly flashed a trace of revenge in her heart, and then said: "I heard that Danxin used to be quite trusted by you, and this time she left the palace, you have to arrange a good family for her." ”

Emperor Tianzhu's face was even more gloomy, and he did not answer directly. He paced for a long time, and said to the eunuch on duty: "Come here, I want to ask her face to face." ”

Nie Peixiao shrugged her shoulders and said no more.

After a while, she listened to the rumor lightly, and Ying Ying leaned over: "Long live the slave and maid who have seen my emperor, and His Royal Highness King Cheng is a thousand years old." When she saw that Nie Peixiao was also in the holy study, she had already expected her intention.

"Are you going to leave the palace?" Emperor Tianzhu asked straight to the point.

nodded lightly without thinking: "The slave maid is twenty-five this year, and she has reached the age of leaving the palace according to the system." ”

"Since you want to leave the palace, why didn't you come to tell me, but instead raised King Cheng?" Emperor Tianzhu was obviously displeased: "What? Are you afraid that I won't allow it? ”

He laughed lightly and replied, "The slave didn't mean that, but ...... I want to ask King Cheng to mention it on his behalf and see if he can find a good family. ”

If this sentence were to be said by another woman, she would definitely be ashamed enough. But he said lightly, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, but it made Emperor Tianzhu unable to answer.

Nie Peixiao was also very surprised, she didn't expect Danxin to speak so bluntly, so she also smiled and said: "Don't worry, Miss Danxin, you serve the imperial brother with all your heart, and the imperial brother will arrange it for you." ”

"The slave and maid have thanked the Holy Lord first, and thanked His Royal Highness King Cheng." Danxin still knelt on the ground and replied very decently.

The two of them sang and cooperated tacitly, and Emperor Tianzhu could only sneer: "Do you have a favorite person?" ”

"Nope." He said happily: "The slave and maid are all subject to the arrangement of the saint." ”

This is a bit of a heart, like stopping water! Nie Peixiao didn't know what was going on between Danxin and his imperial brother, but he could also see that the atmosphere was stagnant at the moment, and Long Yan was displeased. However, he himself was also holding a breath in his heart, and he just wanted to make the Heavenly Emperor unhappy.

"Brother Huang, Danxin is a good girl, can you arrange for her to be a side room." Nie Peixiao preemptively said with a straight face: "Now there are several ministers in the court who have empty inner rooms, some have lost their wives, and some are making trouble and leaving, so you may be able to pay attention to it." ”

After all, at the age of twenty-five, it is unlikely that he will find a minister who has never been married. The three people present knew this.

Seeing that Nie Peixiao was so concerned about the marriage of the light heart, the Emperor of Heaven glanced at him, and the mockery on his lips was even worse: "Oh? Tell me, which ministers in the court can match Danxin? ”

"As far as my brother knows, He Ruichun, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, lost his wife, and he has not yet renewed his strings." Nie Peixiao said.

"No, he is an old-school literati, too pedantic, and he is not in harmony with his light-hearted temperament." Emperor Tianzhu immediately rejected the first candidate.

"The second son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Industry is also widowed and unmarried, or it can be considered."

"He has good ability, and he is also capable of doing errands, but he is too expensive in love and often lingers in the land of fireworks." Emperor Tianzhu paused and denied: "If you marry lightly, the husband and wife will not be harmonious." ”

Nie Peixiao pondered for a moment, searched for candidates in his mind, and said: "Then General Wei, he has been under the command of his younger brother for many years, and he has always been conscientious and has made a lot of achievements. Chinese New Year's Eve, bold and not pedantic, and very compatible with lightheart. ”

"Wei Ji is good in all aspects." Emperor Tianzhu tried to find a negative reason, but after thinking about it, he couldn't find any negative excuse.

Nie Peixiao saw that Emperor Tianzhu no longer refused, so he turned to say lightly: "If you see Wei Ji, you will know that he is a very good candidate, thick and fine, and there are no concubines in the family, only a few children from the concubines. ”

As soon as the words fell, Emperor Tianzhu suddenly refused: "Wei Ji lost two wives in a row, and I heard that there were also dead concubines, so it can be seen that he is a person who rejects his wife." Moreover, he has been in the army all the year round, and he is also a widow if he marries lightly. ”

This reason is too far-fetched, and this time even Danxin himself heard it. She simply turned her heart sideways and asked disrespectfully, "What does this mean, Holy Lord?" Don't you want to be the master of your slaves? ”

Emperor Tianzhu was stunned when he heard this, and replied in a deep voice: "That's not what I meant...... But there really is no suitable candidate. ”

"Actually, the slave has one in her heart." Showing a hint of self-deprecating smile, his eyes swept towards Nie Peixiao.

Nie Peixiao immediately struck a spirit, and a sense of nervousness suddenly appeared.

Sure enough, he slowly kowtowed to the ground with a light heart, and replied without changing his face: "The slave has been in love with His Royal Highness King Mucheng for many years, and I hope that the saint will be fulfilled." ”

"What did you say?" This time, Emperor Tianzhu and Nie Peixiao were both taken aback, and asked at the same time.

His forehead was pressed against the floor tiles, lest he would change his mind if he raised his head. She took a deep breath and repeated in a condensed voice: "The slave is willing to follow His Royal Highness King Cheng......"

Yes! She remembered the marriage that Empress Dowager Ye had mentioned to her before she died. Obviously knew that it was just an excuse, and she knew that Empress Dowager Ye had no such plan before her death, but she couldn't care about it so much!

Now she just wants to get out of the palace, and she can't wait for a moment! As long as you can get out of the palace, it doesn't hurt to go to King Cheng's mansion. With Nie Peixiao's infatuation with Xiu, can she still embarrass herself? Change your identity and return to Yunfu.

Doing such an idea lightly, Nie Peixiao was also suddenly instantaneous, and quickly guessed her intentions. So, he slowly put away his shocked look, immediately walked to the center of the main hall of the study, knelt beside Danxin and asked: "The Danxin girl has a pure character and has known her brother for many years...... The courtiers respectfully ask the royal brother to give him a marriage. ”

"Aren't you in love with Mrs. Izumi? Then you still want to marry Danxin? Emperor Tianzhu's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was hidden in the shadows, but his tone was quite unkind.

"The younger brother knows that it is no longer possible to go out of Xiu...... If there is a light heart, it can be regarded as a kind of compensation. Nie Peixiao said against her will: "Besides, I am willing to entrust myself to my brother, and my brother should take care of her in a reasonable way...... If Izuku knows, he will be very happy. ”

"In this way, if I don't become the beauty of the two of you, but I will ruin the marriage?" Emperor Tianzhu unconsciously sneered.

"The younger brother (slave and maid) don't dare." Danxin and Nie Peixiao replied in unison, with a tacit understanding.

A depressing atmosphere suddenly surged in the holy study, and the three of them were trying their best to restrain a certain emotion. Some restrain anger, some disobey one's will, and some restrain cowardice......

And the Heavenly Emperor kept looking down at Dan Xin and Nie Peixiao, his eyes scanning back and forth between the two of them.

It is undeniable that from the appearance alone, the two in front of them are indeed a good match. was born in the Yun family, and she was a court lady, so it is understandable to get the title of "King Cheng's side concubine". But...... knew that there was no affection between these two people, and he knew that they were acting, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it!

"This matter needs to be considered in the long run, after all, the marriage of the priest is imminent, if you marry another concubine at this time, I am afraid that the Xie family will complain." The Heavenly Emperor tried to put the matter on hold.

Unexpectedly, he heard it lightly, but he was very urgent: "Holy Mingjian, slaves and maids can afford to wait without seeking fame...... Please also ask for the grace of God. ”

This time, Emperor Tianzhu was really annoyed, and turned his eyes to look at Nie Peixiao: "You step back first." ”

"Brother Huang!" Nie Peixiao was afraid that he would lose his heart.

"Stand down!" The Heavenly Emperor shouted again, and his voice was so loud that it made people tremble and tremble when he heard it outside the holy study.

Nie Peixiao hurriedly frowned and looked at Danxin, her eyes revealing a bit of worry. The latter gave him a reassuring look, and he had to get up from the ground and leave without a word.

In the holy study, there were finally only two people left, Emperor Tianzhu and Danxin, who were silent and speechless......
