"Xiyan, why are you back?" The old lady frowned.

According to the rules, when the new uncle returns home, he must return home after having dinner at his father-in-law's house.

"Grandmother, I knew that the prince and the princess were going back today, so I asked my husband to come back first." Before Xiao Xiyang could speak, Lin Yushi's gentle voice behind him rang out.

The lines on Xiao Xiyang's face were extremely cold, and there was no fluctuation after listening to Lin Yushi's words. He walked straight to Xiao Xiwei, "Sister, did you enter the palace yesterday?" ”

Xiao Xi nodded slightly.

Xiao Xiyang pursed the corners of his mouth, "Then can you see the Ninth Princess?" ”

After knowing that Chu Zuizhi was on a hunger strike when he was grounded in Yuli Palace by the emperor =, he had entered the palace and went to Yuli Palace, and the guards guarding Yuli Palace did not stop him, he saw Chu Zuizhi. She was crying so much that her eyes were red, and she sat pitifully in a corner of the room with her legs crossed, and when she saw him, she happily ran over and hugged his arm and begged him to take her away, saying that she didn't want to be the ninth princess, just be her Chu drunken ...... When she said this, her red eyes were full of longing and hope, but he said nothing. In the end, she let go of his hand in despair, and looked at her with those red and swollen eyes, at that time, as if someone was holding a dagger and stabbing him in the chest, stabbing him again and again, he was obviously in despair, but he could not do anything, could not say anything.

Xiao Xi raised his eyes slightly and looked at Xiao Xiyang's eyes.

In those calm eyes, there was a faint trace of suppressed despair and pain.

It turns out that my brother also cares about getting drunk.

It's just that......

She shook her head and said in a low voice, "I didn't see the Ninth Princess. ”

In fact, she and Chu Zuizhi went to Yuli Palace, but Chu Zuizhi didn't want to see anyone. I heard from the palace that she was drunk and fell asleep.

"Your grandfather is playing chess with the prince, since you are back, let's go and see it together." Xiao Yan said.

As soon as Xiao Xiyang and Lin Yushi's marriage came, there was news in the palace that the ninth princess was angry and the saint was grounded in Yuli Palace, and Xiao Xiyang had a cold face throughout the wedding, and now that he heard this, Xiao Yan understood a little bit no matter how stupid he was.

Seeing that her brother Mu Ran was dragged away by her father, Xiao Xi raised her eyes slightly and subconsciously looked at Lin Yushi, but saw Lin Yushi looking at the direction of Xiao Xiyang's departure, and a faint mist accumulated in her eyes, but she gritted her teeth and didn't snort. As if sensing Xiao Xiwei's gaze, she turned her face, the corners of her mouth pulled up a hint of meaning, and looked at Xiao Xiwei's gaze with a bit of flattery. Xiao Xiwei only glanced at her lightly, and took a sip of the tea on the table.

"Princess, I, I have drawn a few patterns, can you help me see them?" Lin Yushi gritted her teeth and mustered up the courage to take two steps towards Xiao Xiwei.

Xiao Xi raised his head slightly and looked at Lin Yushi and smiled noncommittally.

The tears in Lin Yushi's eyes kept rolling, and it seemed that as long as Xiao Xiwei refused, the tears would fall immediately.

"It just so happens that I also have something to say to my sister-in-law." Xiao Xi smiled, put down the teacup in his hand and stood up.

Coming out of the flower hall, Lin Yushi kept biting her lip and looking at Xiao Xiwei without saying anything, but Xiao Xiwei didn't say anything, and walked towards Xiao Xiyang's courtyard wholeheartedly.

When she walked to the rockery next to the garden, Lin Yushi finally couldn't hold back, and looked at Xiao Xi with tears and said, "Sister Xiao, you, why don't you like me?" ”

"We? Don't like you? Xiao Xi frowned slightly and laughed lightly, "Sister-in-law, are you thinking too much?" ”

"Yes...... Is it because of King Yan? Sister Xiao, in fact, my winter hunting was really a misunderstanding! I...... I ......"

"It's really a misunderstanding, you really didn't take a fancy to King Yan, from the beginning your purpose was just my brother." Xiao Xi lowered his eyes slightly and pursed his lips and smiled, "Do you really like my brother?" ”

"Yes. From the first time I saw my husband in Rongxing Pavilion, I ...... I'll just ...... I like him. Lin Yushi lowered her head as she spoke, twisting her handkerchief with both hands, looking like a shy daughter.

If others heard Lin Yushi's words, or knew that she was snubbed by Xiao Xiyang, but still didn't snort and gritted her teeth to bear it, they would think that Miss Lin was true love for Xiao Gongzi! It's a pity that standing in front of Lin Yushi is Xiao Xiwei.

"Sister Xiao, what I said is true." As if eager to prove herself, Lin Yushi gritted her teeth, raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Xiwei and emphasized again, "Sister Xiao, can you help me......"

"Help?" Xiao Xi frowned slightly, as if he was a little puzzled.

"Husband, he ...... He doesn't like the Nine Princesses. Lin Yushi looked at Xiao Xi with red eyes and said slightly.

"Who told you this?" Xiao Xiwei's face remained unchanged, and the corners of his mouth still had a shallow smile.

Lin Yushi lowered her eyes gloomily, "Otherwise, why doesn't my husband like me." ”

"Do you want to hear the truth?" Xiao Xi put away the smile on his face slightly, and looked at Lin Yushi with fixed eyes.

Lin Yushi was stunned at first, and then nodded vigorously.

Xiao Xi smiled slightly, raised his eyebrows and said, "I heard that Lord Liao once intended to keep you as my father's steproom?" ”

Lin Yushi was shocked when she heard this, "No...... No, there must be some misunderstanding in this! Sister Xiao, you, you have to believe me! ”

Perhaps the emperor intended to give Lin Yushi to Xiao Yan as a step-room at the beginning, but there was a sudden accident in the northwest horse market, and Zhongyonghou suddenly returned to Beijing, and the guards on the Wucheng side were empty, and he didn't want to let Xiao Yan go to Wucheng, compared to the loyal Xiao Qi and the milky Xiao Xiyang, Xiao Yan was obviously not a suitable first choice to go to Wucheng, so he could only point Lin Yushi to Xiao Xiyang.

"Of course I believe you." Xiao Xi smiled slightly, reached out and gently grabbed Lin Yushi's hand, "If you don't have a heart for my brother, why do you say so much to me." ”

"Sister Xiao, you believe me!" Lin Yushi held Xiao Xiwei's hand back, and her slender eyes couldn't hide her excitement, and anyone who saw it felt that this girl was really simple and cute.

Xiao Xi nodded with a slight smile, "My brother is cold and slow to heat, and after a long time, he can naturally feel the benefits of his sister-in-law." ”

"Yes." Lin Yushi nodded vigorously.

"However, in a few days, my brother will set off for Wucheng, and he will be separated from his sister-in-law when he leaves, so I am afraid that you will ......" Xiao Xi frowned slightly, then his eyes flashed, and he continued, "It's better like this, I will let my grandfather go to the emperor to ask for instructions in a while, and ask the emperor to let you go to Wucheng with your brother!" In this way, you don't have to separate, and secondly, you can cultivate a relationship through this. ”

Xiao Xiwei's words made the smile on Lin Yushi's face stiffen a little.

"What, sister-in-law, don't you want to?" Xiao Xiwei twitched the hand that Lin Yushi was holding, and looked at Lin Yushi's smile a little colder.

Lin Yushi was stunned for a moment, then reacted and quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, I'm happy...... It's just that I'm afraid the emperor won't agree. ”

"It's good that my sister-in-law agrees, as for the emperor's own grandfather to say it for you, you can relax." Xiao Xi said with a smile.

So far, what else can Lin Yushi say.

Originally, she just wanted to curry favor with Xiao Xiwei, and then quickly held the power of the housekeeper in her hands, but she never thought that Xiao Xiwei would actually take her army. Wucheng. The ghost wants to go there! Damn Xiao Xiwei! She wouldn't be waiting for herself to jump in early in the morning!

After lunch, Chu Xizhi led Xiao Xiwei back to Yanwang's mansion.

"My grandfather has promised me to personally enter the palace to meet the emperor early tomorrow morning, and ask the emperor to allow Lin Yushi to walk with my brother." Xiao Xiwei said and paused, "It's just that as soon as Lin Yushi leaves, I'm afraid that the emperor will have another idea to insert people into the waiting mansion." ”

After all, the position of the mistress is still vacant in the Houfu.

"What do you think of Aunt Zhou?"

"Aunt Zhou?" Xiao Xi frowned slightly, "You want to help her get on the throne?" However, with her background, she is not qualified to be the housewife of the Houfu, not to mention, the emperor will not agree. ”

"There is no defense, there is a doom." Chu Xizhi said with a smile.

"Doom?" Xiao Xi twisted his eyebrows slightly, "What kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?" ”

Chu Xi smiled, stretched out his hand to pull Xiao Xiwei up and pulled him into his arms, and said with a smile while pinching her slender and silky fingertips, "I, let him enter the palace." In the last few days, my father has been sleeping restlessly at night, so I have asked him to go into the palace to teach him the Dharma for a few days. ”

"Talking about Buddhism?" Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, "For no reason, why can't the emperor sleep well." ”

Chu Xizhi smiled helplessly, raised his hand and scraped the tip of Xiao Xiwei's nose, "I really can't hide anything from you, Madame!" Mrs. doesn't know, the prince of Zheng Guo has escaped from the northwest and is missing, I heard that it seems to be coming to the capital, and the capital has been heavily guarded for the past two days. ”

Xiao Xi looked at Chu Xizhi with slightly pinch eyes, pursed the corners of his lips and didn't speak for a long time.

Chu Xizhi touched the tip of his nose, "Madam, what are you doing for your husband like this?" Isn't it because there is something on the husband's face? ”

Xiao Xiwei knocked his hand off, "You are less poor with me, and tell me more clearly." ”

If Chu Yanzhi's means really want to deal with Zheng Lin, Zheng Lin will definitely not be able to run!

"Well, Madame guessed right again. It was Zheng Lin who I ordered someone to secretly rescue, and I also sent the news that he was going back to the capital. Chu Xizhi held Xiao Xiwei's hand and talked and laughed.

"You're ......"

"Just as Madame had guessed." Chu Xizhi blinked, then let go of Xiao Xiwei's hand and stood up, "If you can, why can't you pull the Zheng clan over for my use." After the incident in the northwest, presumably, now Zheng Lin is only afraid that he hates Chu Yanzhi to the bone!"

"Your idea is very good, but unfortunately, you forgot, there is another prince in the East Palace." Xiao Xi said slightly.

Although the crown prince was imprisoned, the position of the East Palace was still there, and as long as the prince did not fall for a day, the remnants of the Zheng clan would never be able to be used by Chu Xi.

"So, if something happens to the East Palace?" Chu Xizhi blinked.

The corners of Xiao Xi's lips hooked slightly, "Then they will definitely suspect you, you forgot, Chu Yanzhi is far away in the northwest now, and his hand can't reach into the prince's mansion." Besides......"

The emperor nominally imprisoned the crown prince, but in fact, he also had a bit of a sense of guarding against Chu Xizhi's actions. After all, if the crown prince falls, Chu Yan is far away in the northwest, and the most powerful person in the capital is Chu Xizhi, the seventh son of the emperor, and such a situation is what the emperor does not want to see.

"Then look at it, madame." The corners of Chu Xizhi's lips hooked, which meant that he was holding a winning ticket.
