Xiao Huai went out of the city today, and when he came back, it was already past dinner time. Tang Shuyi asked him to order a bowl of noodles, and then told him about Concubine Chen's entry into the palace today.

Xiao Huai said after hearing this: "Horse pawn, don't care." ”

Tang Shuyi smiled, isn't he just a pawn.

From the previous incident of Lord Zhao, many ministers have understood that the current emperor is not as well-behaved and obedient as they imagined, but he is a pig who eats a tiger.

Coupled with the support of the Duke of Dingguo, the ministers began to re-evaluate the new emperor, and at the same time tested his bottom line. The draft is a starting point.

Of course, the real bigwigs will not end up at the beginning, they will plot behind their backs and find a few substitutes for the dead to test. And the Chen family is the pawn they pushed out.

After a while, the noodles were served. Tang Shuyi watched him eat noodles and said, "I think about going to Xie's house in the next few days to discuss Yuming's wedding date." ”

Xiao Huai snorted, and Tang Shuyi said again: "Set the time at the end of the year or the beginning of spring next year." ”

"Okay, you can do it." Xiao Huai finished eating the noodles, pulled Tang Shuyi to the bedroom, and said: "Yuming will be in the northwest all the year round in the future, and I plan to let him go to the Northwest Army after a while." ”

Tang Shuyi nodded, this is a matter of time or time, she is mentally prepared, "Then wait until the wedding date is set before leaving." ”

"Okay." Xiao Huai said: "Although Rouli Country is classified as a big cadre, there are a lot of rogues over there, let Yuming go over to exercise, if you can get some military merits, it would be the best." ”

The army is a place where strength is spoken, even if Xiao Yuming is the son of a marshal, but in order to convince the soldiers, they must have strength. Otherwise, even if you push him up, you will be pulled down.

"The Xie family also understands that Yuming will go to the northwest when the time comes." Tang Shuyi said.

Xiao Huai: "What they are fighting is the idea of using the resources of the army in our hands. ”

Tang Shuyi was not disgusted by this. Marriage is not only about affection between men and women, but also about the interests of the family, and this is true of marriage, and the same is true of marriages that are free to love and then get married.

On the morning of the second day, Xiao Huai went to the court early. Tang Shuyi had breakfast and took Xiao Yuzhu to Huguang Pavilion. When I got to the door, I saw Qi Er waiting at the door.

Tang Shuyi saw him and said: "I met your grandmother a few days ago and said that I would marry you, but you don't agree, why!" ”

Qi Erdu was about to die of a headache, and he said with a bitter face: "I was nagged by my grandmother at home, and I will be nagged by you here again, I won't live!" ”

Tang Shuyi chuckled, "If you have a crush on a girl from any family, just say it directly." ”

"No, not really." Qi Er hurriedly said.

Xiao Yuzhu smiled beside him, "You be careful that Fifth Brother Yan is married earlier than you, and your life will be even more difficult when the time comes." ”

Qi Er's face became even more bitter, Xiao Yuzhu laughed and entered the Huguang Pavilion, and then followed Tang Shuyi to the study. Today, Tang Shuyi came to look at the account book, she and Xiao Yuzhu sat on both sides of the table, and asked people to take the account book and read it seriously.

But as soon as he watched it for a while, Cuiyun came over to report: "Mrs. Chen asks to see you." ”

Tang Shuyi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said to Xiao Yuzhu: "If people are too attached to one thing, it is easy to get into a dead end, and it is easy to do stupid things. So, think about things and let your mind go. ”

Xiao Yuzhu nodded, isn't the Chen family just being stupid all the time. I touched Bi once yesterday and didn't stop, and I continue to be stupid today.

"Arrange for me to see you later." Tang Shuyi said.

Cuiyun answered and went out, and Tang Shuyi and Xiao Yuzhu looked at the account book for a while before going to see Mrs. Chen. When I entered the reception room, I saw that not only Mrs. Chen was there, but also Miss Chen Wu.

After a few words of greeting, Mrs. Chen praised Xiao Yuzhu again, and then proposed to let Miss Chen Wu and Xiao Yuzhu go out to play. Tang Shuyi didn't refute, Xiao Yuzhu smiled and took Miss Chen Wu out.

There were only two people left in the room, and Mrs. Chen gossiped for a while, and then said, "..... My concubine often told us that this woman must have one or two friends who trust each other and help each other, otherwise life will be difficult. ”

Tang Shuyi roughly knew what she was going to do today, but she smiled and didn't respond.

Seeing this, Mrs. Tang pinched her handkerchief tightly, and said: "Mrs. Guogong, the county lord of Kangle you taught is naturally Zhong Lingyuxiu. I often tell my sister Rui that if you can have fellowship with the county lord of Kangle in the future, you must listen to the county lord in everything. ”

The meaning of these words is already obvious, she came today to surrender. said that her daughter will enter the palace in the future, and everything will be dominated by Xiao Yuzhu.

Tang Shuyi took a sip of tea, and then said, "How is your old lady?" ”

Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Okay, very good." ”

Tang Shuyi smiled and chatted with her, and Mrs. Chen didn't know what she meant for a while, so she had to follow her words.

Outside, Xiao Yuzhu and Miss Chen Wu were chatting while walking in the small garden. Miss Chen Wu put on a deferential posture, but the topic always led to Li Jingyi, but Xiao Yuzhu just didn't answer her words and chatted with her without bounds.

In the end, Mrs. Chen and Miss Chen Wu left in a daze.

............

In the early days, there was a minister who wanted the emperor to draft a draft, and Li Jingyi said lightly after hearing it: "I know." ”

The minister who played on the show was quite discerning, and did not make a long speech on this matter, nor did he necessarily ask for an explanation on the spot. Xiao Huai planned to go home directly, but was stopped by Chen Tairan, the current head of the Chen family, at the gate of the palace.

I saw him salute respectfully, "The lower official has seen the Duke of Dingguo." ”

Xiao Huai stood still, looked at him and hummed lightly. Chen Tairan bent his back slightly and said, "Xiaguan wants to ask, what do you think of the emperor's draft?" ”

Xiao Huai looked at him like a fool, this pawn is going to die!

"The emperor's marriage is a royal matter, and I can't control it." He said.

Chen Tairan thinks Xiao Huai is too hypocritical, your daughter wants to be the queen, it's okay! But you can't let other women enter the palace to serve the emperor just because your daughter is young and can't enter the palace now!

He smiled and said, "The emperor is the king of a country, and the emperor's marriage is a state affair." ”

Xiao Huai didn't expect him to be so aggressive, squinted his eyes, and said: "The emperor's marriage is a state affair or a family affair, you go to the Ministry of Rites to talk about it, and the handsome can't care about it." ”

Saying that, he stepped to his horse, Chen Tairan followed, hunched his waist and said, "The emperor and Ling Ai...."

"Smack!"

"Ahh

Xiao Huai raised his horsewhip and pumped it towards Chen Tairan's face, and in an instant, a deep cut appeared on Chen Tairan's face. Then he turned over and got on the horse, looked at Chen Tairan condescendingly, and said, "I originally wanted you, a pawn, to jump for a few more days." But if you want to die early, then Ben Shuai will fulfill you. ”

With that, he flicked his horsewhip and walked away. Behind, Chen Tairan covered the bleeding wound that was gurgling out, and his face and brain were throbbing. He almost didn't hear what Xiao Huai said just now, but he could hear the three words of the horse pawn clearly.

When the descendants of the Chen family saw Xiao Huai walking away, they hurriedly trotted over and helped him into the carriage.
