"You want to see Mrs. Izumi?" King Mu raised his eyebrows and looked at Nie Peixiao, with a look of confusion in his phoenix eyes.

"yes. I want to see what kind of woman she really is. Nie Peixiao did not hide her disdain: "She is a maidservant, I heard that Shen Yu gave it to Yun Ci, but how do you know that she later became the widow of the Marquis of Lixin." As a result, the posthumous child was not born and slipped the fetus...... Brother Seven, don't you think this is very strange? Maybe she wasn't pregnant in the first place, just fake pregnancy for the sake of the upper position. ”

"Oh? Why do you guess she's pseudopregnant? King Mu asked.

"Is there less of this in the palace? False pregnancies are not uncommon. Nie Peixiao shook her head: "It is said that the most poisonous woman's heart, if this woman calculates, the man is far behind." Because of this, until I have no choice but to do so, I will never set up a concubine, but only raise a concubine. ”

When King Mu heard this, he retorted with a smile: "Then who kept saying that he would not be a concubine, and turned around and asked to marry the eldest lady of Yunfu?" was reprimanded by his mother for this? ”

Nie Peixiao thought for a moment and smiled perfunctorily: "I was tired and panicked all the way, and Seventh Brother asked me to rest." ”

"You look very energetic, don't hide." King Mu seemed to have made up his mind to embarrass him: "I want to hear it, why do you ask to marry Yun Xiangrong?" I don't believe you're trying to win over Yunfu for me. "The alliance between him and Izuxiu, Nie Peixiao and his mother Ye Yingfei all know, so why marry Yun Xiangrong again? It must be known that his ninth brother has never intended to marry.

What's more, both of them knew how much their mother concubine hated the Yun family, why did Nie Peixiao insist on marrying Miss Yun as a side concubine?

"You must look at Yun Xiang differently before you ask to marry her. If you don't make this clear today, I won't let you live in peace. King Mu smiled again.

Nie Peixiao had an embarrassed expression on her face, and she was silent. Do you want to tell the truth? said that he fell in love with a woman he had never met because of the sound of a piano? However, now that Yun Xiangrong is married, he doesn't want to ruin her reputation, so Nie Peixiao made up her mind not to tell the truth: "Seventh brother, you just have to embarrass me, I have nothing to say about how much wine you want to pour me tonight." Don't ask about that. ”

King Mu saw that Nie Peixiao was very embarrassed, and he didn't insist on asking, but just changed the topic with a smile: "Everyone knows that Nie Peixiao, the king of Chengjun, has three hobbies, and 'fine wine' is one of them. If I get you drunk tonight, what's the embarrassment, isn't that what you want? I won't teach you to be satisfied! ”

Hearing this, Nie Peixiao laughed again: "Brother Seventh still understands me!" "Two years ago, at a banquet for the children of a family, he openly stated that he had three hobbies, and he also seriously arranged the order, ranking music in the first place. Later, someone asked how many places "war" was in his heart, and he replied at the time: "Second only to marriage!" ”

Since then, it has spread in the city of Jingzhou - Nie Peixiao, the king of Chengjun, has three major preferences: music, wine, and beauty; At the same time, there are two major hateful things: marriage and war.

But partiality is the two things he hates the most, and it is also what he has to do. Needless to say, as a prince and county king, he will be forced to marry a wife and have children sooner or later; The war was even more forced by the situation, and in recent years, in addition to eating, drinking, and having fun, he has not been less mixed in the barracks. Especially this time the battle between King Mu and King Fu for the heir, he secretly fought a lot for his seventh brother.

Looking at it now, all this is worth it, the seventh brother he admires the most is finally going to sit on the throne of Emperor Nanxi, and it is bound to unify the north and the south. Nie Peixiao only hopes that after his seventh brother ascends the throne, he will not force him so tightly in marriage, and he plans to be free for a few more years.

Thinking of this, Nie Peixiao smiled at King Mu and said, "Actually, tonight, we should make every effort to get each other drunk." If I get drunk with you, it is a brother's congratulations to my brother; If you get drunk with me, you will be able to get out of my words and know why I am asking to marry Yun Xiangrong. ”

"Sounds like a good idea." King Mu echoed and laughed.

Nie Peixiao nodded, thought about it and said, "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, or Seventh Brother will invite Mrs. Xiu tonight?" Reasoning, I came to Fangzhou openly and honestly, isn't it worth her to come forward to take the lead? ”

"You're interested in Mrs. Izumi?" King Mu saw that he had repeatedly mentioned Xiu, although his tone was not good, but he sounded very eager to see him.

"Didn't the world say that she killed many people? Yunfu is now a widow, this woman seems to be very powerful, and I also want to see it. Nie Peixiao said frankly: "I am indeed very curious about her. ”

As soon as King Mu heard this, he couldn't let Nie Peixiao see Xiu, but he was afraid that something would happen again. His ninth brother has been spoiled since he was a child, and the prince has a great temper, although he is righteous with his siblings, if he is annoyed, he dares to say anything and do anything.

Thinking like this, King Mu made up his mind to refuse, not to mention that he had asked Zhuxiu in advance, and the latter was unwilling to show his face: "It's not a secret, when Mrs. Xiu came to the door, I had already asked her to come to the banquet tonight." She said that she was a widow and it was not convenient for her to meet guests, so she politely declined. ”

"It's not convenient to meet customers?" Nie Peixiao didn't know what it was like to hear this. Since he was a child, no one dared to disobey him, even the seventh brother was so loving and humble, he was reprimanded by his father and mother at most. Now, a rich widow with a bad reputation is even holding a shelf and does not want to see him?

"What's not to be exposed to? She is the head of the Yun family, is there less of a show up? Nie Peixiao's words were dissatisfied.

King Mu's eyebrows frowned slightly when he heard this, and for some reason, he actually wanted to explain on behalf of Xiu: "Although she is the head of the house, most of the people she sees on weekdays are the Yun clan and the house slaves, and she rarely does it herself. You're being biased. ”

King Mu's explanation attracted Nie Peixiao's surprise: "Seventh Brother would actually speak for her?" "You must know that his seventh brother rarely defends anyone, and he is used to being alone on weekdays.

Seeing that Nie Peixiao's misunderstanding of Zhu Xiu was getting deeper and deeper, King Mu remembered the song "Zhu Xian Breaking" again, and couldn't help but feel even more emotional. Although he didn't want the two to have anything to do with it, after all, the Yun family was the first family in the north and south, and he didn't want Nie Peixiao to make enemies with him and cause more trouble.

"Actually, you misunderstood Mrs. Xiu, her bad reputation was spread by me. One is to divert the world's attention from this battle for succession; The second is also to teach her a lesson. King Mu said, hoping to make Nie Peixiao change his opinion of Chuxiu.

"You passed on her bad reputation?" Nie Peixiao was even more surprised.

"Not bad." King Mu nodded.

"This is strange, you said that in order to divert attention, I can understand what this means, because I am afraid that the world will stare at you and the fourth child, and then see any clues...... But where do you start to 'teach' Mrs. Xiu? Didn't she spend a lot of money to support you? Nie Peixiao asked puzzled.

King Mu smiled and sighed, so he had to tell Shen Yu about his escape before and after, and finally said: "Therefore, I suspect that Yun Xiangrong and Shen Yu's marriage was facilitated by Mrs. Xiu. The purpose is to save Shen Yu's life on the grounds of Yun's son-in-law after I succeed. ”

I see...... Nie Peixiao couldn't help but groan after hearing this, and she didn't know what she thought of Chuxiu. If you look at it the other way, you can't talk about it; But there are very few people in this world who dare to calculate his seventh brother behind his back, and women are even more unique. Judging from this incident alone, this lady is indeed courageous and knowledgeable.

Besides, it sounded like she was quite good to Shen Yu, and she didn't hesitate to risk her life to send him away. Nie Peixiao himself also has some friendship with Shen Yu, and he once asked Seventh Brother to intercede for Shen Yu, but he couldn't do this for Shen Yu when he asked himself, let alone Mrs. Xiu was a woman.

Could it be that the two have an adulterous relationship? Nie Peixiao had this thought in her mind, but immediately rejected herself. This Mrs. Xiu was originally Shen Yu's maidservant, and was later transferred to Hou Yunci. If there was really any adultery between the two, why did Shen Yu give her to Yun Ci in the first place? What's more, I heard that Shen Yu is still Yun Ci and Xiu's marriage book matchmaker.

Moreover, Shen Yu and Yun Ci had a good relationship, and after Yun Ci's early death, he did not hesitate to stay in Fangzhou for a long time to contribute to the orphans and widows of Yunfu. Based on Nie Peixiao's understanding of Shen Yu for many years, he believes that although Shen Yu is profligate in affairs, he will never covet a wife, let alone the widow of a friend.

Maybe it's really just to repay the favor? Mrs. Izuxiu thought about the kindness of the old master, and thought that Shen Yu was Yun Ci's friend and had a lot of help to Yun Mansion, so she took the risk to send him out of Yanlan City?

If this is the case, he really has to look at Mrs. Izuku differently. It is not easy for a woman to participate in current politics and support his seventh brother with huge sums of money; What's more, she is not inflammatory, and dares to risk offending Seventh Brother to help Shen Yu escape. Although this involved Yun Xiangrong's marriage, which made Nie Peixiao unhappy, she was also trying to help Shen Yu......

Nie Peixiao suddenly understood Mrs. Xiu's choice. You must know that marrying Yun Xiangrong to the youngest son of the Marquis of Wenchang, who is about to lose power, is naturally no better than marrying into the Nanxi royal family. But Mrs. Chuxiu was not moved by fame and fortune, and resolutely married Yun Xiang to Shen Yu to save his life, which can be regarded as affectionate and righteous.

And what is even more affectionate and righteous is Miss Yun Xiangrong. Knowing that Shen Yu was in danger, she was still willing to marry him...... It's a pity that such a woman has nothing to do with herself...... Nie Peixiao couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"After you say this, Seventh Brother, I have a better opinion of Mrs. Izuxiu." Although Nie Peixiao is domineering, she is also better than being above board, and she treats her friends with affection. Otherwise, he would not have chosen to quit and took the initiative to fulfill Hanchu and Helianqi; Now he will not say anything for Shen Yu in front of Seventh Brother Nie Peihan.

"I admire people with affection and righteousness the most in my life, not to mention that Mrs. Izumi is still a woman. If she really did these things to rescue Shen Yu, she was indeed worthy of admiration. Nie Peixiao commented on Xiu, and then said: "But she must have a lot of scheming and strong wrists, which must be true, otherwise she won't be able to be a housewife." ”

"Mrs. Izuku was indeed a visionary. As for scheming, what woman doesn't have it now? King Mu shook his head and sighed lightly: "Even Luan has a dream, how can I talk about her." "The two brothers have grown up in the palace since childhood, and they have seen too much of women's scheming, and they have already seen through it.

Nie Peixiao pondered for a moment when she heard this, and said solemnly: "But I still think that there must be innocent and beautiful women in this world, kind, beautiful, and well-behaved. Only such a woman deserves to be liked, no matter how low or low she is. ”

As they spoke, Nie Peihan and Nie Peixiao were immersed in helplessness about their feelings. One is that he failed to keep the woman he loved; One is that the court failed to marry a side concubine.

There was silence in the room for a long time, and finally Nie Peixiao came back to her senses first, and said with a laugh: "Seventh Brother still misses her!" It's yours and yours after all. Gone a Luan, there are other women! There is no grass at the end of the world, tonight you and my brother don't talk about women, only drink wine, don't get drunk and don't return! ”
