Chapter Twenty-Three: Rivals in Love
The morning light sprinkled the earth, bringing the breath of the first sunny day after the rain, the fragrance in the air woke up the sleeping girl, and the lazy pearl jade side face was seductive, affecting the man's fiery feelings, and gradually flourished in the silent place.
After Xie Fanfan woke up, he stretched his waist and waited for the maids who were waiting to wash in, respectfully greeting him, and the battle of more than a dozen people really scared Xie Fanfan, and he was not suitable for his new identity.
The "Madame" maids bowed their heads one after another and took care of the surroundings.
"Where did Cai You go?" Xie Fanfan asked.
"The lord went to the palace early in the morning, and specially ordered not to wake up the lady" Seeing that Xie Fanfan was still worried, he was relieved, "The lord also said that the lady and relax, the lord will take care of everything"
It's not that Xie Fanfan doesn't believe in his ability, it's just that things were too big yesterday, how can he face it alone.
At the beginning of the early dynasty, the court was really restless.
"It's ridiculous that Bachelor Cai disregards humanity and forcibly robs the bride of his colleague"
"It is difficult for a dignified scholar to do such a thing, and it is difficult for beasts to do it"
Cai You has been standing aside, listening to these people's arrangements, as if he is not talking about himself.
After Xie Yi and these individuals finished speaking, they looked very hurt, and they bowed heavily to the ground and gritted their teeth to beg the officials to seek justice, and demanded that Cai You be severely punished and returned to Zhao, which was sympathetic.
His Royal Highness's people all blamed Cai You, and they were indignant at what happened to Xie Yi.
There was a commotion in the hall, Zhao Ji frowned and looked at Cai You, seeing that he had nothing to do, he had no choice but to clear his throat, and his face was embarrassed. "Rank ministers", as soon as the voice came out of the hall, it was immediately solemn, "This matter is indeed incredible, but I already know the reason for Mr. Cai's actions, so I don't need to be surprised."
Everyone was stunned: "Could it be that Your Majesty ordered it?" ”
"Yesterday, the concubine and I bluntly said that Cai Qing and the eldest daughter of the Xie family were originally like-minded, although Cai Qing's move was inappropriate and indecent, but I acquiesced"
The crowd was in an uproar, "How can this be, Your Majesty, even if you have affection, you can't ignore the etiquette law, Cai's snatching of people's wives is an established fact, and they should be punished, otherwise what is the reason of heaven, how should the people of Li win the trust of the temple, Your Majesty thinks twice"
Zhao Ji stubbornly continued to play cover, playing the emotional card "Everyone doesn't know, the former Princess Fukang made me feel a lot, although it has been deceased for many years, the princess died early because of love, it is really embarrassing" said Zhao Ji with a heartache unbearable "In all fairness, you love me is a good story in the world, and the end of the ancient resentment is sad, I don't want to ruin this deep love couple because of my own mistake, and I hope that the people will not blame me"
These ministers also had a blue and purple face, knowing that Zhao Ji didn't like government affairs and was indulging in pleasure, but this fallacy was powerless to refute "Even if Your Majesty is benevolent, this is too child's play."
Xie Yi knew that Cai You was unwilling to engage in ghosts, so he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty-" was interrupted by the emperor before he could say anything, "Xie Aiqing, I know that Cai Qing's family openly plundered his wife, but if you show me your heart early, I may not be able to fulfill it"
"The minister is stupid, and I hope that Your Majesty will make it clear" Xie Yi was dizzy, what could he do.
"King Xiang has intentions, and the goddess also has a heart, this is a good thing, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, your marriage date with Princess Xian is so set" Xie Yi felt that his head was buzzing, when it came to the princess's head, the wind and the cow and the horse were not related, this night's kung fu, it is not an exaggeration to say that the situation is upside down, he is standing there, it is incredible and can not be refuted in the court.
When everyone dispersed, he refused to leave, insisting on meeting Tianyan.
Seeing Zhao Xian also hurrying over, he knelt down with Xie Yi and begged to see him.
It makes people suspect that the relationship between the two is ambiguous.
The inner attendant Xuanren came to see him, and the two of them were about to enter the hall one after the other, when they heard the people inside smashing the jade and scolding, and then they caught a glimpse of the thunder and anger of the people on the throne.
As soon as he saw Zhao Xian, the emperor immediately drew his sword, and the peak mouth aimed at his sister, "shameless!! The frightened Emperor Fuyi knelt on the ground with a thud, her face was pale, and she kept blocking left and right, and Xie Yi, who was blocked by the sword without eyes, was drawn with a long bloody wound on his arm. The attendants were all frightened, and led Zhao Ji to retreat immediately.
"The courtier's sister didn't know what crime she had committed, but she made the imperial brother angry," Zhao Xian knelt on the ground and begged bitterly.
The emperor casually smashed the jade pendant on the table into her arms. "Zhao Xian, blame me for being too arrogant to you, I actually had a private meeting with a foreign man, and I was bumped into by someone, are you ashamed !!"
"Your Majesty, there must be a misunderstanding at this time, and the ministers are allowed to justify" Zhao Ji had never been so fierce and glared at the people under him, and the uncontrollable killing intent was almost about to swallow the mountains and the sea. "Xie Yi, I have always relied on you, even if it came out back then, I also protected you from my father's hands, but what about you, how did you deal with me, in the middle of the night in the backyard of the palace with the princess, filthy palace, what do you say I have to do, ah?" Seeing Zhao Ji's appearance, I couldn't wait to chop him in minutes, and I didn't want to listen to Zhao Xian's explanation anymore after venting my anger, "Brother Huang knows that my heart belongs, how can it be."
Zhao Ji actually didn't believe in this sister for a long time, it doesn't matter if it's true or not, he only cares about the royal reputation, flies don't bite seamless eggs, it must be her own misconduct that will cause right and wrong, even if she is calculated, it is also her usual use of playing with these boring harem tricks to make enemies everywhere, and then interfere in the government Although she made suggestions, but the woman was involved in the previous dynasty, which emperor could tolerate it.
Zhao Xian knew that the imperial brother was angry, and no matter how much she explained, it would be in vain, not to mention that this jade pendant was indeed hers, and she couldn't shirk it at all.
Grit your teeth and be patient for the time being.
As soon as he stepped out of the palace gate, Xie Yi's face was like death, and he asked coldly, "Doesn't the princess plan to explain?" Looking at Zhao Xian's back and stopped, "Explain what?" You and I are just being calculated, senior brother Xingshi is afraid that he is asking the wrong person" Xie Yi snorted coldly and shook his sleeves and left.
"Madam, I'm back" Cai You shouted at a trot from a long distance while carrying his clothes, and put his official hat into the little man's arms.
Xie Fanfan turned his head sideways, and he was smiling, and his breezy and moon-like face was not stained with a trace of impurities, which made people feel good.
Cai You saw that her eyes were full of joy, and her heart was also happy, and she asked gently, "What are you laughing at?" ”
Xie Fanfan reacted, pretended to be serious, ignored it, and replied lightly, "It's nothing."
"It's clear that there is" Cai You stared at her face with a feverish face, and the maid next to her hurriedly said, "The lady is worried about the master today, just this door has been turned dozens of times, and just now I was restless, poured tea and burned my hands."
"Is it hurt" Cai You hurriedly held Xie Fanfan's hand, and when he saw the red one, he frowned, "Why are you so careless" and then he didn't have a good color for the servants beside him, "How do you all take care of the lady, go to the head to receive the punishment"
"Cai You, you are not allowed to be angry with others" Xie Fanfan retracted his hand and puffed up. The maid was very sorry for the beating, but it can be seen that as soon as the eldest lady spoke, the old man was like something, and she lowered her eyebrows and coaxed softly, secretly admiring the good way of the lady.
"Okay, good" Cai You personally medicated her while responding, holding it on his chest and blowing on her wounds, his fingertips were softly wiping the jade cream, and the back of his hand was slippery. His bundle of hair was in a hurry, and he half-covered his face when he was scattered and lowered, still holding the pipa, and the gentle and jade-like son came out of the calligraphy and painting, and the spring breeze covered his face, making people more and more intoxicated.
"I didn't expect you to be quite good at taking care of people?" Xie Fanfan smiled.
"I have so many advantages, you just found one, is it too little" Cai You quipped. Xie Fanfan knew that he was skinless and faceless and teased people, and he also followed, "Then what should I do, the little woman is clumsy, and I hope that the adults will give me more advice"
"Okay, then you have to study diligently, if it's slow, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it in your life" After speaking, she gently scraped the tip of her nose like a mosquito, and the love was full as if it was about to overflow under her eyes.
The years are quiet, and there is a long love here.
Xie Fanfan also knows more or less about the affairs of the court, but the object of Xie Yi's gossip turned out to be a princess, which is also surprising, although he doesn't know the cause and effect, but he doesn't want to care about it anymore, since it has passed, then Xie Yi has nothing to do with who he marries, she seems to be used to this kind of life.
Knocking on chess pieces and drinking with you, Cai You did not forget to fold the quilt for her when he dealt with government affairs all night, and she did not forget to add clothes for him when he was tired and sleepy, just like a real husband and wife. Although there is no real name and the return route is unknown, at least it is enough to let yourself rest for a while as a bachelor's wife.
But how could Xie Yi stop there, he regretted it, regretted that he didn't explain it in time that night, he thought that it didn't matter, and there was a day to come, but this farewell, goodbye is as difficult as climbing to the sky. Cai You couldn't get through the water around the bachelor's mansion, not a single fly wanted to fly in, Xie Fanfan didn't want to see him again, she didn't want to give Xie Yi a chance, but she didn't have the courage to face the truth, after all, the relationship she had been in love for ten years was so empty, she would rather believe what she saw with her own eyes than listen to someone explain, she was afraid, afraid that at that time, she would be shaken again.
"Say, what are you looking for me" The elegant and dusty son shook the ink folding fan, looking displeased.
"Knowingly asked" The majestic and heroic man's face didn't have to be much better than the other party, and the two were tense when they met.
"I want to see Fanfan," Xie Yi finally couldn't hold back his mouth.
"That's not the tone of asking for someone"
"Cai You, I warn you, if you dare to be unfavorable to her, I will set foot in your bachelor's mansion," the man said fiercely.
"I have the ability to do it, I want to see who killed whom first" Cai You looked like he was underwhelmed.
Xie Yi has been repeatedly reminding himself in his heart to be calm, even if the person in front of him is the culprit who calculates himself and the princess, even if he abducts his wife in public, even if the official family has openly and secretly signaled not to make trouble-but, if he continues to endure it, what kind of man is he, he directly punched the other party and hung up, and blood seeped out from the corners of his mouth and flowed endlessly.
"You despicable villain, sooner or later I will let Fanfan see your true colors"
"I told you that if you have the ability, you will come and rob it, she will not go with you"
The two of them are in the covered bridge and water pavilion, and they scuffle together in the daytime, completely losing the demeanor and bearing of the nobles on weekdays.
