Tuk-tuk.

There was a knock on the door, Bai Yunbian came and opened the door, and when he saw Xia Jingyun at the door, his brows furrowed, blocking the door, "You don't go to so many women's rooms, why are you here with me?" ”

"I'm looking for you. Find a place. ”

"What's going on this big night? I'm afraid that Hongluan will misunderstand. ”

Xia Jingyun glanced at him, squeezed him away and walked towards the house by himself, "Miss Ye has followed Ah Li to the Qin Mansion as a guest, what is there to misunderstand." ”

"Look at you, my wife can't control it, and you kidnapped my wife, if I were you, you would have to give me two apologies on the spot."

Xia Jingyun smiled angrily and sneered: "Bai Lexian, you really won't be angry with me, right?" ”

"Ahem." Bai Yunbian looked at Xia Jingyun as if he was really a little angry, panicked slightly, and said sharply: "If you are such a small person, how can you be as famous as this son." ”

When did we become famous?

Xia Jingyun was speechless for a while, because he asked for the other party, and he didn't bother to care about the behavior of putting gold on his face, and said: "There is a very important matter to come to you." ”

Bai Yunbian said lightly: "Let's say, my son has never seen any strong winds and waves." ”

"I want you to be my enemy."

Xia Jingyun's words came out, and Bai Yunbian trembled in fright.

"Don't be nervous, that's not what you mean."

Xia Jingyun was very satisfied with the success of the bad taste in his heart, smiled and comforted, and then said all his thoughts, Bai Yunbian listened silently, but he also understood.

After all, many things are just unexpected, and it is not difficult to understand.

But whether you want to get it or not is the thin line between genius and mortal.

He looked at Xia Jingyun suspiciously, "Why me?" ”

Xia Jingyun smiled and said: "With Brother Lexian's temperament, shouldn't he be overjoyed and eager to try?" ”

"Don't make a fuss!" Bai Yunbian waved his hand, "Let's get down to business!" ”

Xia Jingyun also restrained his expression, raised a finger and said: "This first point, you have made great contributions this time, whether it is in Longshou Prefecture, seizing the land of two counties in a row, or later capturing Longshou Prefecture City, and going to Jinling on a rainy night, it is a great military achievement." The prestige is enough, and on top of the celebration ceremony the day after tomorrow, I will discuss with my sister and Your Majesty, and give you a higher seal, and your strength will be enough to compete with me. ”

"Second, although we have a well-known friendship, there are also many friends who turn against each other, and it is not very abrupt. The key is that we can also have points where we parted ways, for example, if you offended Su Laogong, for example, if you are not satisfied with the reward, we can arrange these, and even rouge horses such as Miss Ye were snatched of love by you, and I am a villain who is jealous, so I turn against him, it's not impossible! ”

He held up a third finger, "And the most crucial third point is that I believe in you, I fully believe in your abilities, and I believe that you will not betray, which is very important to our plan, otherwise it may become a stone to shoot ourselves in the foot." ”

Bai Yunbian listened silently, and after a while, he shook his head, "Not enough, this matter is too big, and these reasons are not enough to convince me." ”

Xia Jingyun rolled his eyes, "Give you a chance to scold me openly anytime and anywhere in the future, and I can't be angry yet?" ”

Bai Yunbian's eyes lit up, "Ahem, look at what you say, is this kind of person?" ”

"I did it! Scold you or not, I so-called, this son is mainly willing to contribute to the society! ”

Xia Jingyun looked at him with a smile and snorted coldly.

After finishing speaking, Bai Yunbian's expression became solemn again.

"However, if you want to achieve the goal you said earlier, although my son is peerless, his identity is still lighter after all, and I am afraid it will be difficult to catch a real big fish."

Xia Jingyun smiled when he heard this, "When you are serious, your brain is quite enough!" ”

"Fuck your mother's fart, when will my son not have enough brains? As far as your little cleverness is concerned, who gave you the qualifications to comment on this son? I really think of myself as a character, and I'm a lucky villain! Phew! ”

Baiyunbian was stunned for a while, and Xia Jingyun was stunned when he heard it.

After speaking, Bai Yunbian smiled and said, "Don't mind, I'm just familiar with it first." ”

Xia Jingyun:.

He looked at Bai Yunbian, who was caressing his chest with a satisfied face, and always felt that something was wrong.

"Don't worry, I know what you're talking about, so I've got two more people for you."

Xia Jingyun lightly nodded the table, "King Cheng and Wan Xiang." ”

Bai Yunbian frowned and pondered, Xia Jingyun opened his mouth to explain, "Wan Wenbi's desire for human rights is actually extremely strong, but he was suppressed by Qin Weizhong and Xiao Fengshan successively before, and he couldn't show it, but now after tasting the taste of the prime minister, he is definitely not willing to be just an auspicious prime minister, and he has started to make some small moves recently, thinking that he is doing it very cleverly, but in fact, we have already discovered it." ”

He looked at Bai Yunbian, "It is easy for this person to cooperate with your actions, but it will be extremely difficult to gain his trust and let him join your camp, this kind of old fox who has been under Qin Weizhong's nose for so many years is not something that can be fooled casually, but once he joins, this game will be completely completed." ”

"As for becoming a king, it is much simpler, he is now the emperor's uncle, and he is the brother of the first emperor, and his status in the clan is respected. Every time the queen mother listens to the government or her relatives are in power, the power of the clan will naturally be supported to protect the royal family, so King Cheng can be regarded as taking advantage of the time and people. But this person is not capable, he forgets his righteousness when he sees small profits, he regrets his life when he faces big things, and he is almost scared to death after failing to rise before. You have to persuade him to be the façade. ”

"At that time, you will be the number one general under the banner of King Cheng, leading a group of people to fight against us. In the future, we will take the opportunity to catch all the people who really have bad intentions. ”

Bai Yunbian heard one head and two big, "Why do you want me to persuade me, can't you persuade me well, let me and him perform together?" ”

Xia Jingyun glanced at him, "I just praised you for your good brain, why are you stupid now." ”

"It's top secret, but if a third person knows about it, it's no longer a secret. If King Cheng knew, would he tell King Cheng? Will the prince of Cheng Wang tell his fox friends and dog friends if he drinks too much one day, and the whole world will know at that time, what kind of fish are we still fishing, won't it become a big joke? ”

"Even if it is me, at most, I will never tell my sister and Your Majesty to secretly inform others, and I will never tell Yan Yan, Ah Li and others about this. So, you can't tell the truth, you have to figure it out for yourself. ”

Bai Yunbian had a headache when he heard it, "Where can I do anything, I am full of economy, and my chest is full of strategies from heaven and earth, and I am not like you with a bad stomach!" ”

Xia Jingyun leaned over and said in a low voice: "Actually, this matter is not difficult, I have heard that the princess is elegant and talented."

"Hey!" Bai Yunbian sat up suddenly, with a righteous and stern expression, "What do you think of me!" How can you do that! ”

"What the fuck do you think of me!"

Xia Jingyun finally couldn't help it, and took a sip, "I mean that Princess Cheng is the real pillar of King Cheng's mansion, King Cheng's father and son are ambitious and talented, you only need to draw a clear position with me later, and then I will find an opportunity to split Princess Cheng for a few days, you and King Cheng will do things, and when Princess Cheng comes back, the wood has been completed, and she is powerless to stop it, so she can only try her best to help you plan." ”

Bai Yunbian nodded happily, but then frowned, why does this sound so strange!

"Alright, that's okay now, right?"

"Good!" Bai Yunbian gritted his teeth, "For the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, I am willing to help you with this!" ”

Xia Jingyun put away the banter on his face, and said seriously: "Brother Le Xian, this hand is short for a year and a half, and I don't know the years and months for a long time, between you and me, no matter how ruthless and righteous we are, endure humiliation and burden, hardships and hardships, you have to always, can you think about it?" ”

Bai Yunbian also nodded solemnly, "This is what a character like Ben Gongzi should do." Wait, there will be a time when you will be uncomfortable! ”

Xia Jingyun smiled, "Then let's talk more tonight." ”

The next day, the sky was bright.

The Jianning Marquis Mansion regained its vitality, and the servants were busy preparing their own laundry and morning meals for the nobles in the mansion.

Feng Xiuyun personally came to the courtyard where several people of the Xia family lived with a few exquisite boxes, and today the Queen Mother summoned the ladies of the Xia family, and they naturally wanted to dress up.

As for Feng Xiuyun herself, she will not let go of the opportunity to make a good relationship in front of her future mother-in-law and sister-in-law, carefully selected clothes and jewelry, and even contributed some of her own treasures.

On the other hand, Su Lao Xianggong and Zhao Lao Zhuang were accompanied by Su Yuanshang, and slowly walked out of the Jianning Hou Mansion, just like going home, walking on the streets of Zhongjing that they had not walked for more than ten years.

At a long-lost but familiar noodle stall, Mr. Su took the lead, and the three of them walked in, sat on the street, and ordered three bowls of pork noodles.

Su Yuanshang took the initiative to take the chopsticks and scalded them with noodle soup, Su Lao Xianggong picked up and took a bite, and said leisurely: "It's still the old taste of the year!" ”

The old owner of Zhao also tasted it, nodded and sighed: "This capital is like an inn, only the guests come and go, but the scenery is the same as before. Just like this noodle stall is still the same, the taste is still the same, but the old stall owner has been replaced by his son. ”

Old Minister Su sighed: "The past ten years are not long, but they are not short, but I didn't expect that even the owner of this inn has changed!" ”

The old owner of Zhao also sighed when he heard this, "Things are people, things are people!" ”

Listening to the emotion of the two elders, Su Yuanshang ate noodles silently, and he didn't dare to gasp.

After breakfast, the three of them walked slowly, and along the way, the two old men seemed to walk leisurely, looking left and right, never asking the time, but when they arrived at the palace gate, it was almost exactly the same as the time they had agreed before.

A figure stood quietly outside the palace gate, and now Wang De, the number two person in the palace, was honestly accompanying him.

When he saw those two familiar faces, Gao Yi, whose body was gradually healing, bowed, "The old slave meets Su Xiang and Mr. Zhao." ”

Seeing the old man beside the first emperor, Old Xianggong Su and Old Master Zhao were also quite emotional on their faces, "Gonggong Gao, take the two old ministers to see the first emperor!" ”

Gao Yi nodded, "Su Xiang, Mr. Zhao, please come with the old slave." ”

I walked all the way through the familiar palace city and came to the side hall where the first emperor stopped his spirit.

Emperor Chongning, who was originally holding the moon with stars everywhere, was now lying alone in the side hall, with only a few wisps of green smoke and a few boring eunuchs coldly accompanied, and Su and Zhao both had a little sigh in their expressions.

Wang De stepped forward, waved everyone away, and personally guarded the door.

Old Prime Minister Su and Old Master Zhao glanced at each other and walked in.

Su Yuanshang followed in and put on a stick of incense, and then exited the door with interest.

left three old men, in front of a deceased person, whispering about the old things.

The green smoke curled, burning with the memories of the year, and the grievances and grievances dissipated with the wind between the world and the world.

——

At the same time, the three women of the Xia family, accompanied by Feng Xiuyun, walked into the gate of Changle Palace.

Concubine De got the report and greeted her in person.

"The women meet the Queen Mother!"

The three of them hurriedly made a big salute, but they were supported by Concubine De, who smiled and held Xia Jingyun's biological mother's hand Xia Li's hand, "It's all my own family, so I don't need to be polite." ”

Everyone had been living with Old Man Yun for a while, and it seemed right to think about it, so they didn't think much about it, and they all walked in.

After a casual greeting, Concubine De smiled and said, "Dingyuan, that kid is really good!" Rushing back from the northern frontier, he not only blocked Xiao Fengshan's way in Longshou Prefecture, but also acted at the opportunity halfway and took the state city of Sixiang Prefecture. In this celebration ceremony, the mourning family will definitely ask His Majesty and the center to reward him! ”

Xia Zhang was overjoyed, "Thank you Queen Mother." My children will not fail the Queen Mother's grace! ”

Then Concubine De looked at Xia Ningzhen, "Ning Zhen is really beautiful, this time I came to Zhongjing, I don't know how many princes and nobles can't sleep, and they are sick!" ”

Xia Ning was so ashamed that her face flushed, and she didn't have the slightest sense of jumping out in front of Old Man Yun, and said softly: "Niangniang has tormented the people's daughters, how can the people's daughters have."

Concubine De smiled and said: "You are Gao Yang's cousin, even if you are the cousin of the mourning family, why call yourself a people's daughter, how about making you a county lord?" What kind of title do you want? ”

Xia Ning really couldn't stand such ridicule, his head lowered more and more, his little face was flushed, and he was a little helpless under such a battle.

Concubine De smiled, then looked at Xia Li and took her hand, "This time I'm here, I'll stay for a long time, speaking of which, Gao Yang should also get married, right?" ”

Xia Li sighed when he heard this, and Xia Zhang pouted on the side, "I don't know who to tie up with!" ”

Concubine De's heart darkened slightly when she heard this, and the smile on her face was still the same, "The Su family and the Qin family are indeed good matches, the key is to be in harmony with Gao Yang, and they have experienced hardships together, and it is a pity to give up either family." ”

Xia Li nodded again and again, his expression obviously very worried.

Xia Zhang and Xia Ning really looked worried, but Concubine De suddenly smiled and said, "Since this is the case, then let's just marry both." ”

The three of the Xia family were stunned, what else can they do?

"That's a wife, who's a concubine?"

If it is a normal official wife, facing the Queen Mother, she must think about it, such as whether such a question is considered a question, will it displease the Queen Mother;

The Queen Mother also came up step by step from the show girl, will this concubine make her unhappy;

Since the Queen Mother said so, she naturally has a comprehensive plan, so why should she think about it or anything like that;

But Xia Zhang's is so habitual that he asked directly.

Fortunately, Concubine De was not angry, and smiled slightly, "The mourning family has checked the Ministry of Rites, and there is a precedent for this in ancient books, both of them are wives, regardless of their concubines." At that time, the Ministry of Rites will testify that the Son of Heaven will give marriage, and he will be able to serve the public. ”

The corners of Mama Yuan's mouth, who was standing behind Concubine De, twitched, isn't it, when Han Xueming, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came to report the day before yesterday, the circles under his eyes were the same as those rubbed at the bottom of the pot, and it was difficult for people to really find the record of that few words from the ancient books.

The three members of the Xia family were overjoyed, and from their point of view, this was naturally the most satisfying thing.

Concubine De looked at them happy, as if she also saw Xia Jingyun happy, he had done so much for himself, and he could be regarded as rewarding him for doing so.

She smiled, her face suddenly changed, a look of pain loomed between her eyebrows, and she retched.

"What's wrong with the mother?"

"Queen Mother, are you okay?"

Everyone hurriedly asked with concern.

Concubine De waved her hand, and Mama Yuan said, "It's been a while, intermittently." ”

Xia Li's heart moved, but he immediately thought of something, pursed his lips, and was about to remind the sister-in-law beside him, Xia Zhang's mouth once again disobeyed, and muttered: "Won't it be joyful?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire Changle Palace was quiet.
