Chu Xi's eyes suddenly burst into a brilliant smile, he raised his hand to squeeze Xiao Xi's bangs that were slightly scattered on his forehead, and looked at her with burning eyes, "What do you want to ask?" Who is the woman in the painting? ”

Xiao Xiwei's face flushed slightly, and he turned his face unnaturally and didn't dare to look at him, "Although the ninth princess is greedy, how could she run to your study to find food, and ......"

"And it was so coincidental that my father would see that painting?" Chu Xizhi smiled and took the conversation for her. He stared at Xiao Xiwei's delicate and beautiful side face, and the smile on the corner of his lips was even worse, "Wei'er, how can you not know that you are smart in ice and snow?" If not, how will my father know that I like you......"

Therefore, even if you like Chu Yanzhi in your heart, then, when your father gives you a marriage, you must think about it first. He's doing this, just in case.

As he spoke, the carriage had already arrived at the Drunken Immortal Tower.

Xiao Xiwei held Chu Xizhi's hand and just got off the carriage, and the second child of the Drunken Immortal Building immediately greeted him, "Seventh prince, Miss Xiao Er, please follow the little one to this side, His Royal Highness the Eighth and the eldest prince Xiao have already been waiting for the two of them in Xia Hezhai upstairs." ”

"Then lead the way." Chu Xizhi grabbed Xiao Xiwei's hand, didn't care about the eyes of the people around her, and led her upstairs.

Xiao Xi struggled a few times, but his hand was clenched tightly, and in the end, he had to go.

Juxian upstairs opposite the Drunken Immortal Building.

A pair of deep eyes stared coldly at the figure of the two walking away.

"It seems that the Zhongyong Houfu is really getting involved with Chu Xizhi!" The crown prince Chu Jingzhi slapped the table hard, gritted his teeth and said hatefully.

Chu Yanzhi slowly withdrew his gaze, silently picked up the teacup and lowered his head to take a sip of tea.

"Zhongyong Hou has 100,000 elite soldiers in Wucheng, and now Xiao Xiyang has been promoted to Yanyunwei by his father. It seems that my father wants to win over the loyal and brave Houfu for Chu Xizhi so that he can compete with me! The prince said with a calm face, "Speaking of which, what is going on with you today, you are aggressive, you have advanced and not retreated, and in the end you lost to Chu Xizhi, and let him grab such a handle and lose the position of deputy commander of Yan Yunwei." ”

Lu Haichuan and Zheng Lin glanced at each other, and at the same time raised their eyes and looked at Chu Yanzhi.

Today's performance of Chu Yanzhi on the martial arts platform is not only the prince, but even they find it strange.

"Brother Huang, even if there is no matter today, do you think that my father will not take this opportunity to take down my Deputy Commander Yan Yunwei?" Chu Yanzhi said coldly.

At that time, the Zheng family helped the emperor to seize the throne, and the eldest daughter of Zheng Guogong was named the queen and gave birth to the crown prince, and the power of the Zheng family became more and more powerful. Although the queen died in the harem, the queen's sister Shen Guifei still sat in the harem, and in the court, the Zheng family was full of henchmen, and even the horse market in the northwest was firmly held by the Zheng family. The Zheng family is really powerful, and even has a tendency to overpower the power of the Son of Heaven.

On the side of the couch there is no room for others to sleep soundly.

The Zheng family is highly meritorious, and the prince is reckless by nature and difficult to become a great weapon, if the Zheng family wants to replace him in the future, it will be easy. It is precisely because of this that the emperor can't tolerate the Zheng family, and he is eager to help up a prince to compete with the crown prince, and the seventh prince born by Yan Guifei has become his best candidate.

'Smack'.

The prince threw the table to the ground, and said with a hideous face, "It's also his son!" Why is he so eccentric! ”

"Prince, be careful that the wall has ears." Zheng Lin, the prince of Zheng Guogong, hurriedly took the prince's hand and whispered.

"The emperor is suspicious of the crown prince, no matter whether the four princes have done anything wrong or not, the emperor will find an excuse to kick the four princes out of Yanyunwei, and the prince doesn't have to take it to heart." Lu Haichuan, the prince of Lu Guogong, also interjected.

"Instead of being angry here, why don't you think about what to do next?" Zheng Lin said again. "Looking at the emperor's meaning, it seems that Xiao Xiyang is going to be promoted."

As soon as the four princes left, the position of deputy commander of Yan Yunwei became vacant, and eight or nine times out of ten they were to be given to Xiao Xiyang. At that time, the 100,000 forbidden troops in the imperial city, plus the 100,000 elite soldiers in Wucheng, Chu Xizhi suddenly had the support of 200,000 troops behind him, and he was on par with the strength of their Zheng family.

"What's the use of you saying that now? Xiao Xiyang's entry into the Wuwei camp is a foregone conclusion! The prince said angrily.

"Who said it was useless! Although Xiao Xiyang entered the Wuwei camp, it does not mean that the loyal and brave Houfu must stand before and after the Seven Princes. Zheng Lin smiled coldly and slowly moved his gaze to Chu Yanzhi, "Didn't the other concubine of the Zhongyong Houfu already point it to the fourth prince?" ”

"Did you say that Miss Xiao San? Heh, I heard that this Miss Xiao San is entangled with a certain young master of the Li Mansion, and besides, she is not liked by Xiao Shilang at all! I don't know why the fourth prince fell in love with her at that time, if it was Miss Xiao Er who was married at that time, then all this would not be a problem. Lu Haichuan glanced at Chu Yan with a smile, paused, and then said, "But, Brother Zheng, is it possible that you suddenly said this because you want to get rid of that Miss Xiao Er?" Don't forget, the emperor is suspicious of us today, if something happens to that Miss Xiao Er, I'm afraid we won't be able to take off the dry cleaning. ”

"Naturally, we should not do it, but others may not." Zheng Lin looked at Chu Yanzhi, and the corners of his lips twitched, "Presumably, in a few days, the Zhongyong Houfu will hold a celebration banquet for Xiao Xiyang......

Chu Yan's eyes narrowed, and a trace of coldness crossed the bottom of his dark eyes.

In the Drunken Immortal Building, everyone chatted while eating, and it took most of the day to come out of it.

Chu Xizhi insisted on sending Xiao Xiwei back to the house in person, Chu Muzhi teased him a few words, and finally took Chu Zuizhi back to the palace first.

It was not the end of the carriage when it arrived at the Houfu, and Chu Xizhi took Xiao Xiwei's hand and didn't want her to go out.

"Wei'er, I really don't want to let you go." Chu Xizhi put his forehead against Xiao Xiwei's forehead and sighed faintly.

It's only been a long time since we met, but before we can say a few words, we are about to separate.

"Alright, stop making a fuss. Brother, he's still waiting for me. Xiao Xi raised his hand slightly and pushed Chu Xizhi away a little.

He was so close to her that she could smell the faint scent of ambergris on his body, and the steady and powerful heartbeat in his chest.

"How can I make trouble, I let go, I don't know when I will see you......" Chu Xizhi simply reached out and hugged Xiao Xiwei's waist and said pitifully.

"I don't know who always breaks into my boudoir in the middle of the night." Xiao Xi sneered at Chu Xi slightly. Even she didn't notice it, her expression and tone were a little coquettish.

"What do you mean...... Waiting for me in the boudoir tonight? Chu Xi's eyes lit up.

"Nonsense! Later...... You won't be allowed to touch it in the middle of the night! Xiao Xi pushed Chu Xizhi away in a slightly annoyed and angry manner, opened the curtain in a panic and jumped out of the carriage.

"Sister, what's wrong? Face burned? Xiao Xiyang jokingly looked at Xiao Xi, who jumped down, and said slightly.

Xiao Xi glared at him slightly angrily, and then led the girl into the waiting house in a hurry.

At this time, Chu Xizhi got out of the carriage and watched Xiao Xiwei enter the waiting house.

"I said Zimu, what did you do to my sister? Why, it made her look like a rabbit with her tail stepped on. Xiao Xiyang looked at Chu Xidao with a smile.

Chu Xizhi glanced at him, "If you have time to care about this, you might as well watch out for that side." This time they have suffered such a big loss, and they will never give up. ”

Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows and sighed, "You said how did I get on your thief ship in the first place!" ”

Chu Xizhi's sword raised his eyebrows, "You can go down, and I won't keep you." ”

"Yo! What is this called, crossing the river and dismantling the bed, right? Okay, you have the ability to say this to my sister again! Xiao Xiyang said.

The corners of Chu Xizhi's lips hooked, glanced at Xiao Xiyang up and down, and said, "Do you think I have an elm pimple head like you?" After speaking, he got into the carriage without looking back, leaving Xiao Dagongzi, who was so angry that he was in the same place, was messy in the wind.

After entering the Hou Mansion, Xiao Xiwei naturally wanted to go to Jingyuan to greet the old lady first.

The old lady was very happy when she learned that her grandson had been personally promoted to Yan Yunwei by the Holy Lord, and that she had asked Yan Yunwei's commander Gu An to teach him personally.

The grandfather and grandson were talking and laughing, and there was a commotion outside.

"The slave maid has something important to see the old lady, and she also asks her sister to pass it on."

The old lady frowned, and then glanced at Mama Liu. Mama Liu blessed her body and hurriedly walked out, and after a while, she led a girl in a blue shirt and walked in.

"Slave Cuizhu has seen Taijun." As soon as Cuizhu entered the house, he hurriedly knelt in front of the old lady.

Xiao Xiwei put down the teacup in his hand, and his eyes were a little surprised, "Cuizhu, why are you?" ”

Cuizhu saw that Xiao Xiwei was also there, and hurriedly kowtowed to her again, "The slave maid asks the old lady and the second lady to make the decision for my aunt!" As he spoke, he kowtowed a few more times.

"What the hell is going on?" Xiao Xi frowned slightly.

"A few days ago, my aunt had been unwell, and after the slave maid told the second lady, she invited Dr. Wu from the Rejuvenation Hall to diagnose the aunt's pulse, but it turned out to be ...... found that my aunt's clothes and rouge had been tampered with. Cuizhu said in a trembling voice.

Xiao Xi's eyes sank slightly, "Cuizhu, do you know what you're talking about!" ”

Now that she is taking care of the Houfu with one hand, the third aunt suddenly made such a fuss, because she didn't like her and wanted to block her.

Cuizhu's body shook, the blood on her face faded instantly, and she hurriedly said, "No...... The aunt is definitely not suspicious of the second miss. Dr. Wu found that the clothes that his aunt had moved her hands and feet were all the clothes of her aunt last year, and the rouge was also leftover from her aunt last year. The cloth of the garments was dyed with safflower powder, and the fingers were powdered with pomegranate seeds. ”

What is the use of pomegranate seed powder Xiao Xiwei didn't know, but what the effect of safflower was, she was clear.

Presumably, this is Lee's handiwork again.

It seems that the awakening she mentioned to the third aunt made her learn to be smart. Thinking about it, although the father doesn't spoil the third aunt very much, there are only a few women in the house, and the father always rests in Luoyuxuan for a few days a month, but after the third aunt lost the child, her stomach didn't move at all. Now that I think about it, it turned out that it was the Li family who did it.

"This evil obstacle!" The old lady slapped the table heavily, then clutched his chest and coughed violently.

"Grandmother, this matter is still inconclusive, don't be angry yet." Xiao Xi stepped forward slightly and said while stroking his chest for the old lady, "Mama Liu, you go to your grandmother's post to invite Dr. Zhang." ”
