Chapter 253: Political Affairs (2)
Ran Yan didn't expect Xiao Song to say such an important thing to her so easily, and couldn't help asking, "You just trust me so much that I won't leak it out?" ”
Even if the officials of the court can guess the position of the Xiao family based on this relationship and some actions of Song Guogong, it is only a guess, after all, before the daughter of the Xiao family became the princess of Wu, Li Ke had a princess and gave birth to the eldest son.
Xiao's attitude mainly depends on Li Ke's attitude, if he wants to get Xiao's help and support, if he promises to make his second son the prince, Xiao is likely to fully support it. However, now the attitude of both sides is not clear, in terms of rights, let alone relatives, even if the brothers are not killed? Therefore, no one can be sure of Shaw's attitude.
But what Xiao Song gave to Ran Yan was a positive answer.
Xiao Song paused as he drank tea, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Since I am determined to marry you, I naturally will not hide these things from you." ”
There is a saying that people are not suspicious and suspicious, let alone intimate people who are ready to accompany each other for a lifetime?
He took a sip of tea and continued, "In the past few years, the prince's behavior has become more and more disappointing to the saint, and the saint is particularly partial to Wei Wangtai, and the court has speculated whether the saint intends to abolish the elder and the young, but I have no intention of making friends with the king of Wei, and it is impossible to support him as a prince. ”
"Why?" Ran Yan was very surprised, because Li Tai, the king of Wei, was currently in the limelight.
Li Tai is talented, intelligent, and favors kings. According to the convention, the prince should go to the fief when he becomes an adult, and he is not allowed to stay in Gyeonggi for a long time, but because of Taizong's preference, Li Tai granted a "non-official", not only to stay in Gyeonggi, but also to set up a school in his mansion to recruit talented scholars. If the crown prince is deposed, in addition to Li Ke, he is also very hopeful of obtaining the throne, why is Xiao Song unwilling to have a deep friendship with him in this situation?
"King Wei is arrogant, utilitarian but can't hold his breath, and he has the common disease of talented people, lonely and arrogant, and treats people generously and politely, but in fact, his heart and spirit are by no means superior to King Wu." Even though Xiao Song already regarded King Wu as a mortal enemy, he did not hesitate to praise him. After he said it, he felt that although Ran Yan was different from ordinary women, he was afraid that it would be difficult to let go.
Thinking of this, Xiao Song's fists clenched unconsciously, but there was no clue on his face, he was afraid that Ran Yan would mistakenly think that he was biased towards Li Ke, so he explained euphemistically and diverted the topic, "If you want to defeat an opponent, especially a strong opponent, you must not only be good at attacking his weaknesses, but also avoid being attacked by his strengths." Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent must be comprehensive, otherwise it is better not to know. ”
Ran Yan listened to Xiao Song's words, but her heart thought of a sentence that she had read out of nowhere, a woman's first man is a life coach...... Regardless of the circumstances under which this sentence is suitable and how correct it is, Ran Yan suddenly had this feeling now......
Ran Yan thought so, and blushed, she actually thought of this kind of thing when she was talking about business
After Xiao Song finished explaining, he kept looking at her expression, seeing that her face was flushed and she looked a little annoyed, and thought that mentioning this matter hurt her, she was shocked, and quickly got up and walked to her side, knelt down, and reached out to hold her hand, "Ah Yan, forget about the sad thing." ”
Ran Yan was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about the conversation before and after, he understood what Xiao Song meant, but it was inconvenient to explain what he was thinking, so he just said, "Li Ke didn't do anything to me, maybe he thought that I was in a relationship with Su Fu as lovers, so he got those things to stimulate him." ”
"Really?" Xiao Song's voice was excited, he thought that Ran Yan was defiled by Li Ke, and the beloved woman was ** to others, and it was impossible for any man to really not care. He also struggled in his heart, but whether it was emotionally or responsible, he felt that he couldn't give up on her so easily. Now that I hear the truth, I feel a sense of joy that I have regained.
Ran Yan looked at his excited demeanor, and thought of the sentence "I want to marry everything", only to understand that Xiao Song thought that she was ** In this situation, he still said such a thing...... Ran Yan didn't know how to express his feelings, so he reached out and wrapped his arms around his waist.
"Ah Yan." Xiao Song was stunned, first surprised, and then irrepressibly happy. This is the second time Ran Yan has taken the initiative to touch him, the first time he held his hand with obvious exploratory nature, and there was no affection at all, and this time, he obviously felt different from the last time.
Xiao Song stretched out his hand to encircle her and hugged her quietly.
……
Lanling, Xiao's family.
The rain was falling, and the dim light from outside fell on the wooden floor through the lattice windows, and in front of the half-open door sat a woman in fine clothes, with a long blue satin gown embroidered with pink and white peonies, a contrasting long tail spread out behind her, and a bunch of white plum blossoms stained with water droplets on the side of her legs.
Her slender and white hand held a white porcelain tea cup, which was steaming hot. Behind her, a young woman in a brown gown was replying to the matter, "A letter from Qizhou said that it was the old lady's idea to propose marriage, and the prince and his wife acquiesced, and there was news in Suzhou that the Cui family had also gone to be hired." ”
After the matter was finished, the woman in the Chinese costume did not answer for a long time, and was silent for a long time before saying, "True? ”
The voice is leisurely but majestic.
"Yes." The servant woman replied.
She put down the teacup, picked up a plum blossom casually, and plucked some decayed flowers nearby, "I heard that Ran Qiniang understands medical skills?" ”
"There are many rumors about her deeds in Suzhou City, and there are also rumors that she can come back to life, but the people sent by the slave maid said that they could not find Xiao Langjun, who was rumored to be rescued, and some villagers confirmed the rumors." The servant woman paused and continued, "There is another word, she treated a Ji Pavilion, and the slave maid also sent someone to investigate, but the Jie Pavilion denied it. ”
The woman in the Chinese costume slowly plucked the petals that did not fit, sorted one out and put it aside, and continued to find one to pick, "This time it is a strict concealment, presumably Xiao has been alert, and it will be difficult to start again." ”
The servant woman hung her head and was silent, Ran Seventeen Niang's status was not high, even if she really gave birth to a son, it would not have much impact on them, but the lady even started with the maid in the room, not to mention the lady who wanted to become the wife.
"I only got rid of one of my roommates, and how did I not have the other......" the woman seemed to mutter. The maid she started with had a clean foundation, an excellent background, and exquisite appearance, and she still restored her identity as a good family, and the other lowly one was a cheap concubine by climbing up, and the son she gave birth to naturally couldn't get on the stage, she didn't plan to kill them all, but the maid was inexplicably gone...... Is it a coincidence, or is someone doing it on purpose?
She was worried about this, afraid that a third party would know her movements.
Yes By].
