That night, Xiao Xiyang did not return home.

Shuyingxuan, brightly lit.

Xiao Xiwei walked around the room in confusion.

Finally, the door opened.

"How? Any news? Seeing Chu Xizhi coming in, Xiao Xiwei couldn't wait.

Chu Xizhi twisted his eyebrows, walked to the warm couch and sat down heavily.

"It's a pity, you're talking!" Xiao Xi said eagerly.

Chu Xizhi slowly lowered his eyes, and his low voice sounded slowly, "Drunk is grounded." ”

"Nine princesses?"

Chu Xizhi smiled, he raised his head and looked at Xiao Xiwei, "I don't know where she heard the news of her father's marriage, she ran to Chongde Hall to make a fuss despite the obstacles, and her father grounded her in anger." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Xiwei sighed in his heart and sat back on the couch. After a long time, she found her voice back, "It seems that this marriage is really unavoidable." ”

The emperor has obviously made up his mind to put Lin Yushi's chess piece next to his brother. As soon as she gets married, there is no housewife in the Houfu, and this young lady who has just passed the door just takes over the power of the housekeeper in the Houfu, and it will be easy for her to do something at that time.

For a while, neither of them spoke.

After a long time, Xiao Xi laughed softly, "The emperor's move is really wonderful!" ”

"Perhaps, there is another way." Chu Xizhi raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Xiwei fixedly.

Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly.

"If she wants to meddle in the affairs of the Houfu, she has to stay in the Houfu first!" Chu Xizhi looked at Xiao Xi and said slightly.

Xiao Xi's eyes lit up suddenly, "What do you mean...... Let her follow my brother to Wucheng? But the emperor is afraid that he will not easily agree, right? ”

"It's up to the old man." Chu Xizhi's lips curved a shallow arc.

Chu Xizhi's words made Xiao Xiwei's eyes light up.

Yes, others say it may not work, but her grandfather is different. Grandfather was stationed in Wucheng for most of his life, guarding the frontier for Dayue, husband and wife separated, father and son separated, if he wrote to his brother to plead, the emperor could not refuse these, besides, put her in Wucheng, maybe there will be a place for her in the future.

"But I'm still not at ease." Xiao Xi raised his hand slightly and put it on the desk in front of the warm couch, his clear eyes still couldn't hide his worry and disgust.

She really dislikes Lin Yushi to the extreme, if she is still under her nose in the capital, it is expected that she will not be able to make big waves. But if she followed her brother to Wucheng, maybe she would do something, and her brother is a big man, what if she calculates?

"Wei'er, if you really care, it's messy!" Chu Xizhi stretched out his hand to cover Xiao Xiwei's hand on the desk and smiled lightly, "Wucheng is thousands of miles away from the capital, even if Lin Yushi has something at that time, I'm afraid that the capital won't receive any news." ”

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

Although those inky jade-like eyes had a faint smile, there was a trace of cold killing intent in the depths of their eyes.

Xiao Xiwei held Chu Xizhi's hand with his backhand, and his eyebrows twisted slightly, "Sorry, isn't it...... He's already suspicious of you. If that's the case, why don't we ......."

"Wei'er." Chu Xi suddenly got up and drank Xiao Xiwei's words vigorously.

was drunk by him like this, and the blood on Xiao Xiwei's face disappeared.

As if sensing that his tone was heavy, Chu Xizhi hurriedly stepped in front of Xiao Xiwei, stretched out his hand and took her into his arms, "I'm sorry, Wei'er, I didn't mean to." ”

The familiar ambergris on the tip of the nose greets you.

Xiao Xiwei let Chu Xizhi hold him for a long time, without saying a word.

"Wei'er ......" Seeing that the person in his arms didn't speak for a long time, Chu Xizhi helped Xiao Xiwei up anxiously and shouted worriedly.

Xiao Xi raised his eyes slightly and looked at Chu Xizhi silently, still silent.

Chu Xizhi sighed, "Wei'er, have you ever considered the position of the Loyal and Brave Waiting Mansion?" ”

Although they supported him in his struggle for the throne, it did not mean that they supported him in his rebellion. Especially the old Hou Ye Xiao Qi, he has been loyal to the emperor all his life and is proud of it, if he really talks about rebellion as Xi Wei said, even if the old Hou Ye has no choice but to respond, I am afraid that this matter will also become his heart disease. And Xiwei is such an emotional person, I'm afraid that she can't bear that kind of result herself. Besides, the time has not yet come, and there are still 100,000 Praetorian Guards in the capital, and this 'anti' is not so easy to 'plot'.

After listening to Chu Xizhi's words, Xiao Xiwei suddenly realized that he was really extreme just now.

"I'm sorry, I just ......"

"I know." Chu Xizhi sighed, stretched out his hand and took Xiao Xiwei into his arms.

If she wasn't worried about herself, how could she say such things impulsively.

Not long after the decree of marriage was given, the triennial spring festival arrived. As Chu Xizhi expected, the emperor really let Xiao Yan serve as an invigilator, but surprisingly, Lu Haiyang also served as an invigilator like Xiao Yan.

Xiao Xiwei was originally worried that Lu Haiyang would secretly make a stumbling block, but Chu Xizhi made Ziyan say that she would rest assured. On the other hand, because Xiao Qi returned to the house, and the sister-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Houfu got married on the same day, her spirit was unexpectedly good, and she personally took charge of the house's affairs in the past two days. However, there are some things that she has to take care of personally, after all, this time Houfu is not only marrying a daughter, but also marrying a daughter-in-law. Fortunately, the embroidery of her wedding dress was prepared by the palace, and as long as the palace sent the wedding dress, she only needed to embroider the last stitch symbolically, which really saved Xiao Xiwei a lot of effort.

And just when Zhongyong Houfu was busy with the marriage, the spring festival was over, and there was still a month before the release of the list, but people were not in the mood to discuss which trials were the most promising to enter the list this time, because the most high-profile two-person wedding in the capital was coming.

The day before the wedding, the loyal and brave waited for the wedding.

The old lady gave Xiao Xiwei a lot of dowry, a three-entry house, two Zhuangzi, four shops, a set of Huanghuali furniture, and a lot of jewelry at the bottom of the box. It is also half of the dowry left by Xiao Xiwei's biological mother Chen, which contains antique gemstones, corals, silk and satin. In the words of the old lady, it was to add makeup to the late Chen.

Xiao Yan looked at the courtyard full of dowries, most of which were Chen's dowries, and Xiao Xiwei stood in the courtyard wearing a light red dress, and suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart.

It turned out, unconsciously, that so many years had passed.

But he suddenly seemed to remember that Qingwan had just married into the Houfu, but he only blinked his eyes, and he and Qingwan's daughter were about to get married.

Time really flies too fast.

"Father." Seeing that Xiao Yan looked at the dowry in the courtyard and didn't speak, Xiao Xi shouted in a low voice.

This 'father' brought Xiao Yan back to his senses. He looked at Xiao Xi and was stunned for a while, then raised his hand to beckon the entourage behind him, "These paintings are treasured by my father over the years, you are right, I have never understood these paintings, so I will give them all to you......"

As soon as Xiao Yan's voice fell, the seven or eight attendants behind him took all the words that Xiao Yan had treasured over the years and put them in front of Xiao Xiwei.

"Father......" Xiao Xi pursed the corners of his lips slightly, looking at Xiao Yan and suddenly didn't know what to say.

Over the years, Xiao Yan has been fond of painting, and even Ximing, who was once his father's favorite one, accidentally stained a little ink on the painting and was severely whipped ten times by him with a stick, and he was also punished for not eating for three days, almost abolishing Ximing's right hand. And today, he is going to give all these paintings to her? Is it just because she blurted out the sentence in annoyance?

Xiao Yan suddenly raised his hand and probed towards Xiao Xiwei, but Xiao Xi subconsciously retreated and dodged. His hand froze in the air awkwardly, and after a while, he smiled, "In the blink of an eye, you have grown so big, when you were a child, you stumbled over and grabbed the corner of my robe and shouted 'Daddy hug' as if it was only yesterday ......"

"Father."

Father......

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Xiwei, and his smile suddenly stiffened at the corner of his mouth.

Since when did the little girl who pestered him to hug and call him 'Daddy' grew so big, and she never called him 'Daddy' again. Father, these two words are the same as 'daddy', but why do they sound a little more alienated and indifferent.

It seems like......

Seem......

When his children grew up, they all stopped calling him 'daddy', but respectfully and distantly called him 'father'.

I didn't think it before, but now why does it sound inexplicably sad for him?

Is he getting old?

For the first time, Xiao Yan felt that he had lived for so long and had never figured out what he really wanted.

"In the future, live a good life with King Yan, it's okay...... I often go home to see if I have nothing to do. He hurriedly finished Xiao Xiwei's two sentences, then turned around and couldn't wait to leave.

"Daddy." Behind him, Xiao Xi's faint voice sounded.

Xiao Yan froze in place.

"Daddy." Xiao Xiwei looked at Xiao Yan's back and shouted again.

Over the years, she and Xiao Yan's father and daughter have a weak relationship. In her opinion, this father has never taken these children to heart, and he only has power and position calculations in his eyes, but is what she sees the real Xiao Yan? She never knew him? She and Xiao Yan have come to this point, isn't she responsible for herself?

For a while, Xiao Xiwei suddenly felt that she had done too little to Xiao Yan in the past.

She walked up to Xiao Yan, reached out to hold Xiao Yan's hand, and the corners of her mouth pulled up a smile hard, "Daddy." ”

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Xiwei, his always solemn eyes suddenly turned red, he held Xiao Xiwei's hand, and responded vigorously, "Hey." ”

"That's right. Father and daughter should be harmonious and beautiful. The old lady didn't know when she held Mama Liu's hand and stood at the corner of the courtyard and said with a smile.

Over the years, she didn't know the knot between Yan'er and Xiwei. However, Yan'er's temperament can't listen to her, and Xiwei's temperament is cold and has always been mindful of Yan'er's actions, even if she wants to adjust the relationship between the two, she has nowhere to start, and now seeing this scene, her heart that has been worried for so many years can finally be put down.
