Chapter 166: What About the Kid?
But looking at the light in her eyes, as well as the faint expectation and joy, he still nodded with a ghostly gesture: "Okay." ”
Xie Wan suddenly became happy: "Then it's so agreed, when you're late tomorrow, you wait for me in the back alley of the Hou Mansion, and we'll set off as soon as the city gate opens!" ”
Li Yu and Xie Wan left in full view of everyone.
If it was in the past, others would not say anything, but now because of the arrival of Empress Dowager Chen, the identities of Li Yu and Xie Wan have changed, and everyone looks at them again, and they are no longer simply asked by the superiors, but by lonely men and widows.
Therefore, Xie Wan and Li Yu did not stay in the alley for too long, and after speaking, they went out of the alley one after another.
If he was going to leave for three days, Li Yu must have a bunch of things to arrange, so he went straight back, while Xie Wan returned to the banquet.
Seeing her come back alone, everyone looked different.
The eldest princess sat at the lady's place, and when she saw her coming, she beckoned to her.
Xie Wan stepped forward and bowed slightly to her.
"Why are you so polite with this palace?" The eldest princess took her hand directly, glanced behind her and asked, "What about him?" ”
Xie Wan replied truthfully when she heard this: "The prince still has something to deal with, so he will go back first, and when he leaves, let the courtiers talk to the princess." ”
Before, all this could only be regarded as a sign, but now as soon as these words come out, the dust has settled.
The eyes of the noble ladies looking at Xie Wan suddenly changed again, from the beginning with a little consideration, it instantly turned into envy and a little flattery, only Mrs. Chu, who had known for a long time, did not change.
"Hongu knew it would be like this!" The eldest princess snorted lightly: "It's rare to let him stay for a meal!" ”
After saying this, she smiled and said to Xie Wan again: "It's okay, it's the same if he leaves and you stay." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed again.
It seems that Xie Wan has become Princess Ning, which is a certainty.
The eldest princess was a person who came over, and knew that if she asked Xie Wan to go to the table of young boys and girls at this time, there would inevitably be a lot of things, so she pulled Xie Wan to sit down and talk beside her.
The noblewomen who looked down on Xie Wan in the past have changed their attitudes, and they are so good that they talk more and more baskets after baskets, and they keep going out.
From praising Xie Wan's appearance, to saying that she worked hard to run the Hou Mansion, to saying that she was a blessed person, and she was willing to suffer.
also talked about the Xie brothers and the Zhang family, and they were all indignant, and they looked even more angry than Xie Wan.
Xie Wan all smiled, and whatever they said, they just smiled and agreed.
The eldest princess listened from the sidelines, and when there was a gap, she whispered in her ear: "This is just the beginning, there will be many such scenes in the future, just get used to it." ”
Xie Wan nodded and replied in a low voice: "It's just that the smile is a little stiff." ”
Hearing this, the eldest princess couldn't help laughing: "When I saw you for the first time, this palace felt that your temperament was somewhat similar to this palace, and it was true!" ”
"When I saw the eldest princess for the first time, the courtiers also felt that they were very compatible." Xie Wan smiled and agreed, and glanced at the boy and girl.
It's strange that Ma Yuheng didn't come today, and only Ma Yushan came in the entire Ma family.
A resentful gaze came straight towards her, Xie Wan didn't dodge or dodge it, and turned her eyes directly to look at her, and looked at Ma Yushan.
was discovered by her, Ma Yushan didn't mean to take it back at all, her eyes were poisonous, as if she was going to tear her apart in the next moment.
Becoming the king and defeating the king, Xie Wan had no interest in competing with her, and after staring at each other for a while, she looked away, and then met Han Jing's gaze.
His gaze was too complicated, she didn't dare to look closely, only smiled at him, and looked away.
Sitting in the crowd, Chu Yun was the happiest, she waved her hand at Xie Wan with an excited look.
Xie Wan smiled at her, retracted her gaze and dealt with a group of noble ladies again.
In the eyes of the eldest princess, with the old-fashioned and persistent nature of her royal brother, she finally had the idea of marrying a wife, missed Xie Wan, and didn't know when the next one would be, the key was that she didn't know if there was a next one, so she loved Xie Wan very much.
Ma Yushan left without eating, and Xie Wan stayed until the end of the banquet before leaving.
Let's talk about the Empress Dowager Chen's side.
She endured all the way back to Cining Palace, and as soon as she entered the main hall, she immediately waved back left and right, and said to Mama Feng beside her: "You say, how did that Xie Wan know about that incident?!" ”
Mama Feng thought for a while and said, "She grew up in the Taoist temple and cultivated the Tao since she was a child, maybe she saw it herself. ”
However, Empress Dowager Chen didn't believe it, no matter how she thought about it, she felt that Xie Wan's words about Kefu's life had not been changed because she knew something inside that was threatening her.
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she felt, and her hands trembling a little while sitting on the high seat holding the tea cup: "Go!" Summoning Your Majesty! ”
Mama Feng immediately answered yes and hurriedly went out.
The entire hall was suddenly left with only Empress Dowager Chen, she sat on the high seat, and the scenes that had been deliberately forgotten for so many years flashed in front of her eyes.
She couldn't hold it anymore and slammed the teacup in her hand.
The sound of the tea cup breaking sounded in the main hall, and a palace maid hurriedly came in and asked with concern: "...... queen mother?"
"Get out!"
The palace maid was startled and hurriedly retreated from the main hall.
After a while, Emperor Wen Zhao came in a hurry, he looked at the broken tea cup on the ground and frowned slightly, raised his feet and asked, "What's wrong with the queen mother?" ”
When Empress Dowager Chen saw him, she seemed to see a life-saving straw, grabbed his hand and asked, "Are all the people who knew about that incident back then dead?" ”
Emperor Wen Zhao's brows furrowed even tighter when he heard this, and his expression, which was still a little casual, suddenly turned solemn.
He whispered, "Dead, not a single one left!" ”
Empress Dowager Chen grabbed his hand tightly and asked with some excitement, "What about that child?!" ”
"Dead." Emperor Wen Zhao's eyes were cold: "I killed it with my own hands." ”
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Chen gradually relaxed, and she muttered: "It's good to be dead, it's good to be dead." ”
Emperor Wen Zhao sat down on the side, frowned and asked, "What's wrong with the Queen Mother?" ”
On the side, Mama Feng immediately told her about today's events.
Hearing Xie Wan's name, Emperor Wen Zhao's expression paused, and he was silent for a moment before he spoke: "When that incident happened, she was not born yet, so it is impossible to know. She grew up in a Taoist temple and cultivated since she was a child, and it is not surprising that she can look at her face and get a glimpse of it. The queen mother should not worry. ”
This was consistent with what Mama Feng said, and Empress Dowager Chen finally let go when she heard this.
She let go of Emperor Wen Zhao's hand and said, "That's what I said, it's impossible to know that she wasn't born at that time, it's because the mourning family thinks too much." ”
Emperor Wen Zhao responded, and appeased Empress Dowager Chen for a long time, and waited until she was completely calm, and then left Cining Palace.
However, as soon as he walked out of the palace gate, his face turned completely cold.
He took a deep breath, sneered self-deprecatingly, and strode away.
