"Okay!" Faced with Wan Shangshu's invitation, Xie Yangui readily agreed, although she didn't know what she had to talk about with him.

Speaking of which, among the six scholars, the one who hates her the most is Jingxiu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Lu He, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Xie Yangui is not completely sure of his attitude.

Say he doesn't have any ill feelings for her? The mention of the marriage of the prince is related to him.

But if he is the same as Jing Xiu, it was Lu He who asked her to come to the prison hall.

So what kind of attitude he has, Xie Yangui can't make a mistake.

As for the two of them, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Works, their attitudes are closer to Jing Xiu, but they can be stronger than him, at least these two are above the court, and they rarely directly reprimand her.

As for what nonsense he said in private, Xie Yangui didn't care, after all, the people who said those words were far more than the two of them.

The official department is relatively neutral, at least Xie Yangui has never heard any bad words from him, but in the same way, he has no good impression of Xie Yangui.

And this Wan Shangshu of the Criminal Department, she didn't have much contact with it before, she thought it was similar to the Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, but now looking at it, it doesn't seem to be the same.

His enthusiastic appearance almost made people think that he admired Xie Yangui very much.

In the end, the person in charge of the Criminal Department, within the Criminal Department, there is a place dedicated to Wan Shangshu to rest.

Xie Yangui followed him into the house and watched him get busy himself.

"General Xie, this water is from the spring water in the Jialan Temple outside Kyoto, and it is the best way to brew tea."

He was clearly a man who knew how to make tea, and although he was strong, he could fill a chair alone.

But Xie Yangui sat on the side, even if he didn't understand, looking at his actions when making tea, he would feel quite attractive.

The carefully selected teacup was placed in her hand, Xie Yangui took a sip of the teacup, although she couldn't drink it for a reason, she still praised a few words.

From the way she drank tea, Wan Shangshu knew that she didn't understand tea, but it didn't matter, he didn't really invite her to drink tea.

"I really didn't expect to have the opportunity to have tea with General Ling Yu." He smiled and opened his mouth, chatting casually with Xie Yangui.

It's all inconsequential words, if you don't want to know whether he is suitable for the purpose, Xie Yan really wants Wan Shangshu to talk less nonsense.

Fortunately, Wan Shangshu was measured, and quickly led the topic to what he wanted to say.

"General Xie can come to the Criminal Department to serve, Wan Mou is very happy, he originally prepared a gift for the general, but he never thought that the general would come here today, so he didn't bring it, and he will definitely be sent to the house later."

Xie Yangui looked at him and felt that what he was going to say should not be this.

"Wan Shangshu." She smiled and spoke, simply to the point, "If there is anything, just say it." ”

"Although I am a woman, I have been on the battlefield for a long time, but I am actually a rough person, and I prefer to go straight."

She said this, and the smile on Wan Shangshu's face stiffened for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal and laughed a few times.

"General Xie is really refreshing!" He added tea to Xie Yangui, "Then Wan Mou won't go around the bend." ”

"Now the general is not only General Ling Yu personally appointed by His Majesty, but also the princess of His Royal Highness King Ning, after all, he is a member of the royal family, and His Royal Highness is very happy to know that the general has come to the Criminal Department."

"When Wan prepared a congratulatory gift for the general, His Royal Highness also prepared one for you, he really welcomed the general to the criminal department."

Xie Yangui raised her eyebrows, she still remembers what the person Zhou Yu brought to the blind date banquet looked like.

Speaking of which, there has never been much intersection between them, but he has always wanted to get involved in her family affairs.

She knew in her heart that Zhou Yu was trying to win her over, and she was still a little surprised when Zhou Jin mentioned the relationship between the Criminal Department and Zhou Yu yesterday.

Now it seems that the relationship is really extraordinary.

How dare Zhou Yu? Aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will know?

"General?" Seeing that Xie Yangui didn't speak, but a smile was hooked on his lips, somehow, Wan Shangshu was a little uneasy.

"Lord Wan, if you help Zhou Yu win me over, aren't you afraid that I will tell Your Majesty?" She looked at Wan Shangshu with a smile and asked.

"General Xie, what are these words? The Third Highness and Wan Mou just prepared some congratulatory gifts for the general, Wan Mou was out of the friendship of colleagues, and the Third Highness was a family because you married His Royal Highness King Ning, how did you become a wooer? ”

Smiled dryly, no matter what, it was impossible for Wan Shangshu to admit that what he said just now was a woo.

What's more, there are only the two of them in this room, no matter what Xie Yangui says, as long as he denies it, it won't be a big deal.

Besides, the gift to be given to her has not yet been delivered to the mansion, and it can be adjusted at any time, and the ones he chooses are all infallible.

Although he was well prepared, when Xie Yangui mentioned it, he was still a little weak in his heart.

"It wasn't a woo...... Relax and relax, I'm just asking. ”

Xie Yangui smiled even deeper, "It's not too early, I will retire first, His Royal Highness King Ning is still waiting for me at home for lunch, thank you Lord Wan for the tea and congratulatory gifts." ”

Drinking all the tea in the cup, Xie Yangui got up with a smile, and after taking a few steps, she stopped and turned her head to look at him, "Although I am just a small principal now, there are some things that I don't need to say much, and it is still early to talk about wooing now." ”

"Your Majesty has issued a decree that there will be an autumn hunt this year, and I am waiting to see the performance of your Highnesses."

With that, she walked away.

Wan Shangshu sat on the chair, smoothed everything just now, and frowned slightly when he thought of what Xie Yangui said when he left.

For a moment now, he really thought that she was threatening, that she was probably neutral, and only obeyed His Majesty's orders.

But what she said before leaving, it is obvious that she can stand in line, but among the princes today, Zhou Yu is not the only powerful candidate.

Although Xie Yangui is a woman, as she said, she is a military general, so she will naturally wait for a choice just like those generals.

Taking a sip of tea, he exhaled hard.

——

"Niangniang, I already know that the person who recommended the eldest lady to the prison hall in the court is Lu He, the secretary of the Ministry of War."

In the Qifeng Palace, Yu Qin saluted Xie Cheng and gave her the news she had received.

"Lu He?" This was unexpected by Xie Hui, "He was also the one who mentioned the matter of marrying the prince for Yangui before." ”

Although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, Xie Cheng is not an ordinary concubine, and she has always known about the affairs of the previous dynasty.

According to the information she got, Lu He was neither the eldest prince Zhou Yan, nor the third prince Zhou Yu, nor Zhou Jin.

"The marriage may have been a mistake, but I always think it's not a coincidence that this errand to the prison hall is not a coincidence, but who can he be?" Xie Cheng became more and more puzzled.

"I've already figured out how to find out." Yu Qin hurriedly spoke, there is absolutely no intersection between Qifeng Palace and Lu He, what Xie Cheng knows, Yu Qin also knows, and she can't figure it out either.

Whether it was Xie Ji or her, they all vaguely felt that there was a hand behind them that they didn't know about, operating in secret.

But whether this is good or bad is not known now......
