After Chu Wuxian entered the palace, he told the emperor what Xin Xing had discovered, and at that time, the emperor was reviewing the recital, and he almost made a mistake when he heard the words.

He hurriedly put down his pen and frowned, "What you said is true?" ”

Chu Wuxian knelt on one knee on the ground, lowered his head and said, "Weichen doesn't dare to say anything, Your Majesty is Mingjian." ”

The emperor slowly got up and paced around the hall with his hands behind his back, his face gloomy and silent.

Chu didn't hate or urge, just waited.

Seeing this, Xie Shuangge couldn't help but say, "Uncle, you let people get up first, how uncomfortable is it to kneel like this?" ”

The emperor turned around, saw that Chu Wuxian was still kneeling, waved his hand and said, "You get up first." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chu Wuxian straightened up and straightened the pestle, the flying fish suit was brightly colored, the emperor couldn't help but look at it twice, and became more and more unable to figure it out, "The royal family has been so beautiful since ancient times, most of the princes and princesses are outstanding, even if she is tired of seeing these, there are people like you, and the princes and nobles who are full of gold, the young master, and the handsome and outstanding people, why did she fall in love with a person with a damaged appearance?" ”

Xie Shuangge said lazily: "So Jiusi doesn't look at her face, maybe it was Gongsun Ye's other places that attracted her?" ”

The emperor immediately said: "That Gongsun Ye, who is delicate and frail, and is about to fall when the wind blows, how can he take care of Jiusi?" Listening to the people who served him, he would write a few sour poems, but he couldn't eat them, and he couldn't write anything, what did Jiusi like about him? If she really marries in the past, she still marries far away, what does she want? ”

Xie Shuangge: "...... Well, it seems to be too. ”

Chu Wuxian paused, and arched his hand: "Weichen doesn't know. ”

Emperor: "......"

"Alas—" the emperor waved his hand, his face vicissitudes, "that's it, I'll ask when she comes back." ”

Chu Wuxian said: "Your Majesty is wise, the eldest princess is eighteen years old, it is time to talk about marriage among the people, the princess is in love, it is the time to be eager, Your Majesty should not be too harsh." ”

"I know...... The Emperor's eyes lit up, staring at him and asking, "Why did you speak for her?" ”

Chu Wuxian was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Weichen heard that Princess Jianing and the eldest princess grew up together since childhood, and their relationship is very good, if something goes wrong with the eldest princess, presumably Princess Jianing will not be happy." ”

Xie Shuangge: "......"

Here it is again, and here it is, and the man is acting again.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then stroked his palms and laughed: "Okay, you, it turned out that this was the idea." ”

He smiled and shook his head, "Love the house and Wu, you are concerned." ”

Chu Wuxian smiled and said nothing.

"Okay, I know this matter in my heart, you take care of your subordinates, I don't want a fourth person to know about this matter, do you understand?"

The emperor's tone suddenly sharpened, and Chu Wuxian said solemnly: "Yes, Weichen understands." ”

"Stand down."

"Yes."

After Chu Wuxian went out, the emperor stood in place and worried, compared to his son, in fact, he preferred his daughter, but the eldest princess was timid by nature and didn't dare to get close to him, after a long time, he didn't have much patience to coax her, but what he should give was never less than her, and he didn't force her to get married early, he kept delaying, just wanted to keep her for a few more years, after all, she would be someone else's daughter in the future.

Besides, the princess doesn't have to worry about getting married, and it doesn't hurt to be older.

But he didn't expect to keep it, and the flowers he raised would be picked, and it was still such a thing that couldn't be put on the table.

He was angry and helpless.

After calming down for a while, he continued to criticize the folds, planning to wait for Jiusi to return to the palace to talk to her.

……

Xie Shuangge saw that the emperor's attitude was not very impatient, and he put his mind at ease, he should not reprimand Jiusi much, they have always been in charge of marriage matters, especially the royal princess, who was born noble, but she was not free.

Compared to the previous prince who took the initiative to get married, the uncle is already good, as long as their father and daughter have a good chat, this matter should be solved well, if Jiusi really likes Gongsun Ye, the uncle will most likely agree, as long as he agrees, others dare not have any objections, in this way, the two of them can be regarded as justified, no longer need to hide it.

Chu Wuxian behaved well this time, which could offset his sin of offending himself once, Xie Shuangge thought in a comfortable mood.

……

Chu Wuxian stood outside the hall and guarded, not taking this matter to heart, and as soon as it was dark, he went back to his residence.

As soon as he entered the mansion, Xin Lu hurriedly greeted him, and seeing that his expression was different, Chu Wuxian's footsteps paused slightly, "What's the matter?" ”

Xin Lu was stunned at first, then got up and leaned closer and whispered: "Master, there is news from the Boyang Hou Mansion!" ”

Chu Wuxian's face sank: "Let's go, go to the study and say." ”

"Yes."

……

Xin Lu Xin Xing and Xin Zhi followed Chu Wuxian into the study, Xin Zhi, who walked at the end, was responsible for closing the door, Chu Wuxian sat down behind the bookcase, and his eyes fell straight on Xin Lu, "Say." ”

Xin Lu immediately took out a secret letter from his arms, "This is sent by the eyeliner placed in the Boyang Marquis Mansion and nearby, please take a look at it." ”

Chu Wuxian took the letter and opened it with a slightly impatient movement.

Xie Shuangge was curious, "Chu Wuxian actually planted eyeliner in the Boyang Hou Mansion?" How long has he been back? ”

Terrible, terrible.

But what is written in the letter?

She couldn't see the words on the letter from her angle, and she couldn't see Chu Wuxian's expression, so she could only judge by the reaction of the person opposite.

Well, one is more nervous than the other, the face is tense, and it looks like this matter is serious.

After reading the letter with a glance, Chu Wuxian squinted his eyes, and there was a bit of burning hidden under the indifference in his eyes, "There is a maid named Lingxi by the Liu family, who once served her mother. ”

"You mean—Madame Prime?"

Xin Lu frowned: "Since you are serving your wife, how can you run to Liu's side?" Liu's sweetheart is bitter, how can she tolerate her? ”

Chu Wuxian raised his eyes and said with a smile: "She naturally can't tolerate ordinary people, but what if she is a dumb person?" ”

"Dumb?"

Xin Zhi and Xin Xing glanced at each other, quite shocked, "Isn't dumbness even more useless?" What is she going to do? ”

Xie Shuangge was also confused.

Chu Wuxian nodded on the letter paper with his fingertips and said: "Lingxi used to be a beggar, my mother almost hit her when the carriage was traveling, she fainted in front of the carriage at that time, the coachman wanted people to get her away, my mother was soft-hearted, and saw that she was pitiful and sent her to the hospital, and when I asked, I knew that she was hungry and fainted, and my mother saw that she was a girl, so she took her back to the house and asked her to be a sprinkler and sweeper." ”

"Does Madame know she's mute?"

Xin Lu was puzzled.

"According to the letter, I didn't know it at first, but when I asked her name, she waved her hand and couldn't speak, and my mother knew about it, but she didn't dislike her, and gave her a name, called Lingxi."

Xie Shuangge suddenly understood, "There are no colorful phoenix wings, and there is a good understanding in the heart." What Mrs. Du means is that even if she can't speak, as long as she has a good heart, there will still be people who understand her. ”

She nodded with emotion: "Mrs. Du is really kind and talented." ”
