Chapter 346: Not Everyone Is Respectful
Xia Xu frowned, and several warm currents poured into Wan'er's heart.
There are too many betrayals in the world, and there are even people who do not destroy the heavens for themselves. But his parents and eldest brother are people who really think about themselves and can do crazy things. If something really happens to her one day in the future, she also firmly believes that there will be two fast horses in Great Xia, coming from the northern grasslands or the imperial capital. And her cool Xiao'er will also come to her. Life is enough like this, Xia Wan has read a lot of books and understands this truth better.
"Big brother, don't worry, although I don't know Xie Yi, but as the prince of a country, he must have the right to weigh the gains and losses, my importance, I think he also knows. ”
"Xie Yi will stay in Yugu for a month at most, and then he will return to the academy to participate in the ceremony to the mountainside. If you succeed, you will stay in the academy, and if you fail, you will return to Yugu. But whether he is in Yugu or not, what I am really worried about is not him, but the people in the southern royal family. Concubine Mei, you should know, right?"
Because of His Majesty's edict, the spies of the southern kingdom conducted the most powerful investigation of the southern palace. At the cost of exposing all the spies, they find out who is most likely to hurt Xia Wan. That person is what Xia Xu said before-Concubine Mei! As the emperor's favorite concubine, she can call on thousands of forces behind her. Even countless royal families have become her minions.
But all the ministers of the Southern Kingdom know that there is no one in the court to mess with, it is Concubine Mei's younger brother Zhang Kaixin, but you can imagine the power of Concubine Mei. If she hadn't obeyed His Majesty's words, I'm afraid she would have died in the dark corner of the Yugu Palace. The most unseen thing around the emperor is such people who secretly centralize power. But if she can do this, it must be the emperor's means to control the government.
Xia Wan still knows a lot about her, even more than Xie Yi. In order to find out those news, none of the secret agents she hid in the southern kingdom of Great Xia remained, and all of them were killed. This kind of thing, although Daxia was also distressed, but it couldn't be put on the table, so he pressed it down and didn't disclose it. And Concubine Mei's danger to herself is not that she threatens her position. Xia Wan knew that she didn't have that strength, and it wasn't because of her special identity, but because of Xie Yi.
Xie Yi was born to the empress, and although he was not the eldest son, his talent and cultivation talent were outstanding, and several brothers and sisters could not compare with him. But Concubine Mei's child, Xie Helin, is not inferior to him in any aspect, but he is older, so he missed the opportunity to go to the academy.
Admission to the academy is synonymous with a promising future. It is not impossible to improve in any aspect and surpass Xie Helin. Therefore, everything about Xie Yi was highly valued by Concubine Mei.
Now that the crown prince has not been decided, the intrigue of several princes is extremely serious. At this time, Xia Wan married Xie Yi, and she must have ulterior motives. Everyone is paying attention to the shadow presented by this matter, and Xia Xu is no exception, but Xia Wan sees more details than him.
"Big brother rest assured, marriage is a big deal, and she doesn't dare to do anything. In the future, even if Xie Yi is not there, I will protect myself. ”
"She is more proficient than you in the most poisonous thing about a woman's heart, framing or marrying trouble. So be careful, but don't be too patient and suffocate yourself. Our Xia family has endured too many times, and we can't bear it anymore. ”
Xia Xu said that Xia Wan agreed, so she nodded solemnly. But there is one point, she and Xia Xu think differently.
"I will control the scale, but the famous Concubine Mei may not be better than me. ”
Xia Wan is never arrogant, and most of the people who read a lot are humble. Xia Xu was curious and wanted to hear her plan, but Xia Wan just said:
"Although I admire the sages in the book, it does not prevent me from doing bad things. This is the sorrow of the times and the great wilderness, just like there is no way to deal with the wicked in the book, but everyone has their own principles. If that Concubine Mei is calm, I won't be looking for trouble. But if she targets me openly and secretly, and does something out of the ordinary, I will definitely not give up. ”
Accompanied by a slight nod, there was approval in Xia Xu's eyes. His unease about Wan'er is not that he is afraid that she will be in adversity and will not be able to save herself. is afraid that those guys will not give her a chance to save herself, if the news of Xia Wan's death comes from Yu Gu one day, Xia Xu will not easily let go of these obscene ghosts.
The people of the south are famous for their gentleness, but because there are many green buildings, it is not an exaggeration to call them indecent. The green building here is not as noble as it is said, and it is not much different from a brothel.
In fact, Xia Xu and the others are still exaggerating, the courage of the southerners is not so big, even if there are contradictions, they are only small fights. In the past, as bystanders, they could still see the softness of the southerners, but now that Xia Wan is married, they have lost a little calm.
Xia Jinghong and Xiao Rong have been fathers and mothers three times, and Xia Xu has been the eldest brother twice. But Wan'er is married for the first time, and they have no experience, and the thought that after sending her to Yugu, she will become someone else's wife and someone else's daughter, it is very unpleasant. At this time, Xiao Rong understood why her parents were clearly happy when they married Xia Jinghong, but they still shed tears.
This emotion of losing Xia Wan accompanied them all the way, along the way, Xiao Rong secretly cried many times, Xia Jinghong and Xia Xu looked at Xia Wan's back in a daze, and sighed for a long time.
Before leaving Great Xia, there were envoys from the south to greet him. Therefore, when this convoy entered the southern territory, it was led by the envoys of the southern country.
For Xia Wan and the Xia family, most of the royal families in the southern kingdom were in awe, whether it was Great Xia or Xia Xiao, they all knew the importance of this matter. But not everyone has respect, and outsiders enjoy not much respect at any time and place.
Yugu was not particularly far from the northern border, so Xia Jinghong and the others quickly completed half of the trip.
On this day, the envoy of the southern kingdom received Yu Gu's letter, walked behind Xia Jinghong, and saluted:
"General Xia, there is a message from the third young master. ”
"Xiao'er's?"
The envoy nodded, making Xia Xu more excited than Xia Jinghong. The former took the letter and handed it to the latter, with the style of a general and a lieutenant. This family will always be each other's most loyal subordinates.
Opening the letter, a smile appeared on Xia Jinghong's face. After reading it, Xia Xu looked at it and looked forward to it, thinking that Xia Xiao was already waiting for them in Yu Valley, it was an excellent thing. It's just this word, it finally looked better a few days ago, why is it back now?
The caravan was carrying too heavy a gift, so it did not speed up, but they moved forward at a steady pace, much slower than the carrier pigeons sent by the envoys.
The carrier pigeon stopped under the eaves, was caught by Xia Xiao and Xie Yi, and after reading the contents, they waited with peace of mind for the convoy to appear outside the Yugu city wall.
Xia Xiao looked at the north, his family had not seen him for a whole year, and it was time to get together. Even on such occasions, when they meet, they have to be happy.
Xie Yi held a paper fan and a long shirt, which is the standard for the elegance of southern people. The slight frown is the worry of being the prince of a country. Seeing the slight fear in his expression, Xia Xiao asked:
"Thinking about Concubine Mei?"
"Presumably, these carrier pigeons are hers. ”
Xie Yi looked up, and many carrier pigeons did not stop here, but flew towards another place in the palace. They flutter their wings and fly fast in the rain. Yugu is rainy, and the light rain forms a string of beaded curtains on the side of the corridor. They glanced at the sky, and when they looked at each other, Xia Xiao said:
"Fortunately, I came early this time, and I know something about her. At the wedding, she will definitely have problems, and my second sister and I will convince her and be a man with her tail between her legs. ”
It's not an exaggeration to say such words, but since Xia Xiao said it, he will definitely do it. To the outside world, Xia Xiao has disappeared for a year, but for Xie Yi, he, who is also a student of the academy, knows what height Xia Xiao has stood at. Xia Xiao at that height was something he couldn't doubt.
Xie Yi wanted to prepare for the wedding, so he left first. Although he is also one of the victims of political marriage, he must be clear about the process and arrange the details to show his attention. After all, he was a man, and Xia Xiao stood in place, thinking about how to achieve his goal in front of Concubine Mei.
Nanguo is a water town, and the people here are extremely tactful, thoughtful and thoughtful. But everything, there must be a word of respect, if you don't even have the most basic respect, how can you rest assured that the second sister will live here in the future.
Xia Xiao was quite relieved of Xie Yi, he had been in Yugu for two days, and he had a long conversation last night. Talking about the academy's spiritual affairs and plans after marriage, Xie Yi hopes to go to the mountainside to complete the next four years of study. But in that case, the second sister will stay alone in the empty room as soon as she gets married. But no one can get rid of Xie Yi's power to study in the academy, he will walk up the mountainside!
