Enemies are reborn

Chapter 36 Can't the Taifu give up his love?

Xiao Kunning sneered secretly, Xie Yu certainly saw her differently.The events of that year are vivid in his mind, if Xie Yu treats her as an ordinary person, he will be thankful.

The two sisters returned to their dormitory. The place that used to be lively in the past was empty today, and even the palace people couldn't see a few.

When Xiao Wenxue went back to the house, she remembered something, so she simply went to Xiao Kunning's house to sit.

There were several pastries on the table made of rosewood inside the room. The food in Guanzhizhai was separated from that in the harem. Xie Yu was very strict about it. Because Zhao Can loved to eat, there were a few more pastries for each person in the room every day.

Xiao Wenxue didn't pay attention, and sat down straight away. After sweeping her sharp eyes, she picked up a piece of white pastry and put it in her mouth. The mouth was soft, sweet with a milky aroma, but the aroma was very light.When the pastry is pinched gently, it will break apart with a little force. She feels strange: "Is the royal chef changed today?"

She is used to being delicate, Xiao Kunning picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, she also thought it was good, said: "Blessed is Zhao Can, what did you want to say just now?"

Xiao Wenxue said with a smile: "Mother meant well, so don't think too much about it. After she realized something was wrong that day, she pushed back the marriage, and father stopped Ding Guohou and scolded him openly and secretly. Let this matter be over."

Xiao Kunning was not surprised. She lived a new life and was tired of scrambling. As long as she didn't provoke others, she would be fine, but if others provoked her innocently, she would be afraid that she would behave improperly.

She knew something about Ding Guohou's son, and even this Miss Zhou knew her future. Princess Yanping was not selected, and she discussed marriage with Yan Lin when she was crowned the county king.Being with the Yan family, one can imagine that there is no good fruit to eat.

Now that I think about it, the Marquis of Dingguo took a fancy to her for no reason, probably because of Yan Ruyu.The situation is very delicate here, and Yan Ruyu still refuses to let her go.

She thought it over before saying: "Zhou Wenqing and Yan Ruyu are too close."

Xiao Wenxue sneered: "It's just a raccoon dog of a feather, it's nothing more than a sick child, yet he still has delusions."

Xiao Kunning was surprised that a person who couldn't show his emotions would be angry. He laughed and said, "Why are you angry? Who did she choose for you? Couldn't it be bad too?"

Xiao Wenxue blushed and turned sideways. From Xiao Kunning's point of view, her exposed ears were all red, and she was so thin-skinned.Xiao Kunning said: "Tell me who it is?"

In the previous life, Xiao Wenxue managed to save herself wisely in the end, which was quite satisfactory.

Under the bright light, Xiao Wenxue's ears were completely red, but her eyes calmed down, and she said: "My mother hates me, she won't think about these things, that's good, I can be more leisurely."

Luo Shi couldn't rub the sand in his eyes, hated Zhao Xiran, even Xiao Kunning didn't want to see her, even if it was her own daughter, how could she care about not being related by blood.

The two sisters gossiped for a while, Zhao Can rushed over excitedly, stared at the cakes on the table without seeing anyone, saw that the cakes were different at a glance, and said something to Xiao Kunning, picked them up and ate them.

As she ate, she said, "There's a quarrel ahead."

The front naturally refers to the Hanguang Palace where politics is discussed. Xiao Wenxue never cared about these political affairs, so she stood up and said goodbye. Zhao Can took her seat and sat down, saying: "President Yan refuses to let the bones of King Zhennan return to the capital, sir. At the end of the court, he said that Zhennan Wang Gonggao was defeated, and it is normal for Yan Xiang to refuse. If such a sentence comes out, there will be a quarrel."

Great achievements and defeat, the two words are self-contradictory, but it can be related to the following sentence, "It's normal to be unwilling to face", so there is something in the words.

It seems to be accusing Zhennan Wang of being guilty, but in fact he is saying that he has great merit and looks jealous.

If you understand it, you understand it is derogatory, if you don't understand it, you praise it.

This sentence is very controversial, it depends on how the ministers understand it.

Xiao Kunning asked, "What happened in the end?"

Zhao Can had a mouthful of dessert in his mouth, chewed it for a long time before swallowing it, his almond eyes widened, and he said angrily, "I don't know, the servant came out to talk."

Concubine Yan Gui held a banquet in the harem, and the ministers of Hanguang Palace held their own opinions. Xie Yu, who arrived not long ago, sat on one side and remained silent.

Xie Yu quietly sipped tea, clasping his hands in his wide cuffs, the weather was getting colder and colder, and it was time to set up charcoal in the hall.

Yan Xiangyan Huaizhen was sitting opposite her, glanced at her from time to time, and someone said: "Even if he is guilty, he should be questioned, and his body should be allowed to return. If not, wouldn't it be cold to the hearts of soldiers."

"That's wrong, how can a guilty person enjoy the love and affection of soldiers..."

"If you say you are guilty, you are guilty. The border soldiers listen to you? The king of Zhennan guarded the border all his life. It is his fault that he lost the battle? It is obvious that the city wall has been corrupted for a long time. Who refuted it when he wrote a letter to ask for repairs? Who is to blame? ?”

"What do you mean, the defeat is the responsibility of the commander, so what does it have to do with me?"

"It's not that you suppressed the money and didn't pay it, so many soldiers died."

You say what you say, and the situation is moving towards the development of asking for Xiu's memorandum. Yan Xiang couldn't sit still, and wanted to scold him. What?"

What Yan Xiang wanted to say was said, and the Minister of the Household Department refused to take the blame, and said confidently: "The Tai Tuo is right, but it wasn't the Household Department that suppressed the money back then, and we did it according to the will."

I don't know who said coldly: "It's as if your household department agreed to transfer the money at that time, and I don't think about who voted against it at the beginning."

Hubu Shangshu said in a loud voice: "I voted for it, but who voted for the first one..." He stopped before finishing speaking, realized that he had said something wrong, and sat back in his seat in despair, looking at Master Xie, who is so beautiful and beautiful.

Xie Yu said, "Don't pour dirty water on Yan Xiang. Right now, the only question is whether King Zhennan's bones can return to the capital. Yan Xiang is the respect here. Do you think it should be?"

Tai Tuo's expression was soft, with gentle brows, and the eyes that looked at his face were devout and respectful.

When everyone saw the Taifu who was in the middle of the mediation, they breathed a sigh of relief. If the Taifu is around, there will be no chaos.

The person who was planning to hide behind the scenes was pulled in front of others, trying to be perfunctory, Xie Yu stared at him again with the attitude of "you are the boss, you have the final say", worried in his heart. The person was pulled in front of them like this, and because of the face, he said: "Your Majesty is in charge of this matter."

Xie Yu smiled lightly, the candles lit in the hall shone on his body, covering his body with a layer of light, his posture was gentle, his demeanor was graceful, with a bit of coldness in his softness, and his posture of sitting upright was like a bodhisattva.

The minister was determined and asked her what she meant.

Xie Yusi said: "If you ask me, you should welcome the King of Zhennan back. If you don't welcome him, you will be a frontier soldier. If you don't welcome him, the enemy will underestimate Da Zhou. Whether it is a crime or not, we will discuss it after we find out. , you should calm down."

Yan Huaizhen wanted to refute, but at the end of his mouth, he couldn't say anything. Xie Yu said it to reassure the army. If he opposed it, the soldiers would not be fair in the future, and all the crimes would be his.

Looking at the other ministers, who echoed one after another, he was so angry that he walked around for a week, but the ministers only looked at Xie Yu and saw him no more.

Xie Yu had the upper hand with one word, and lost the opportunity if he didn't speak.

The important ministers didn't say much, and the matter was settled like this. Everyone wanted to leave, and Marquis Ding Guo caught up with Xie Yu, "Teacher, please wait."

Xie Yu stopped slowly among the crowd, turned around and looked at Marquis Dingguo: "What's the matter, Lord Marquis?"

When the others took a look, Xiao Mingwang followed suit and slowed down, while Yan Xiang pulled him along.

In the end, there were only two people left, and Xie Yu invited them into Guan Zhi Zhai.

After drinking half a cup of tea in the Guanzhi Zhai, Dingguo Hou saw the quietness in the Zhai, and said strangely: "It is also quiet in the Guanzhi Zhai, I don't know who Mr.

Xie Yu smiled and said, "Master Hou has taken a fancy to my student?"

"The Taifu is as good at predicting things as God. It is true that Xiao Kunning, Xiao Shilang's daughter-in-law, is good-looking and has a good temper. She is about the same age as my son. I have heard about Xiao Shilang a few days ago, and I have not yet engaged. Fu is a Baoshan."

Hearing this, the tea in Xie Yu's mouth was even more bitter, and he squeezed the teacup slightly harder, and the tea in the cup almost overflowed. The Marquis of Dingguo on the opposite side didn't notice it, but continued: "Marrying a wife and a virtuous man, Marquis Dingguo It's not that the mansion just thinks that Miss Xiao Er is very nice just because of her family background."

Xie Yu put down the tea, leaned back, relaxed his posture, and said with a smile: "Xiao Kunning is my student, and his temperament is good, but I remember that the son is lingering in the sick bed. Is this time for marriage or celebration?"

The voice line is flat without twists and turns, and the voice is soft, which does not sound too deterrent.

Marquis Dingguo never thought that the Taifu would expose him directly, so he didn't know what to say immediately, thinking of Xiao Mingwang's words mocking him, his heart was blocked, and he immediately said: "The Taifu is afraid that he listened to the rumors, he is a little weaker, it is natural to get married That's right, you just said that Miss Xiao Er has a good disposition, so don't miss it."

Xie Yu said, "To be honest, Xiao Kunning is my favorite student, and he will enter the court in the future, do you mind?"

Xie Yu's students were all carefully selected, otherwise they would just be chosen at will.

Marquis Dingguo was dissatisfied: "Maybe the Taifu cut off love?"

Xie Yu said, "No."

"This..." Marquis Dingguo lost all face when he was rejected, annoyed that Xie Yu was ignorant, stood up and said: "As the saying goes, it is better to tear down ten temples than destroy a marriage, so the Tai Tuo is trying to destroy a marriage? "

Xie Yu's eyes were calm, and he didn't have too many emotional turmoil in his whole body. His thin white fingertips tapped on the corner of the table: "Is the son and Miss Xiao two in love?"

Ask Ding Guohou in one sentence, the two of them haven't seen each other, what kind of mutual affection, but I can't say that, I changed my words: "My son has admired Miss Xiao Er for a long time."

Xie Yu said: "Xiao Kunning has never met Zhou Shizi, so this is not a ruin of marriage."

Ding Guohou couldn't say no to her, so he left with a flick of his sleeves.

Xie Yu calmly drank the remaining half cup of tea, called Nongqin and went out of the palace together. He was going to entertain Princess Gaoyang tonight.

When the news spread to the harem, Yan Ruyu was drinking in the hall, except for the sisters from the Xiao family and Zhao Can who hadn't come in the Guanzhi Zhai, everyone else came.

The palace man quietly stepped forward, whispered a few words in the noble concubine's ear, and then retreated.

Yan Ruyu's expression remained unchanged, and there was a bit of sternness in her eyes. After Zhou Wenqing looked at it, he pretended he hadn't seen it, and continued to drink the fruit wine in his hand.

Everyone was dizzy from drinking, and the palace servant sent them back to watch Zhizhai. When Zhou Wenqing was about to leave, the palace servant who served her was looking outside. She pretended to be alone and walked over. The maid said softly: "Girl, Master Hou never said Move the master."

Xie Yu refused.

This was unexpected, Zhou Wenqing waved his hand to signal her to go back first, turned back to the hall by himself, and waited for the people to finish before speaking to the imperial concubine: "Your Majesty, sir refused."

"Rejected?" Yan Ruyu was surprised, thinking that in the previous life, the two fought fiercely, and Xie Yu should hate Xiao Kunning, so how could he refuse.

Puzzled.She squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, since she couldn't do it clearly, she came secretly, as long as Xiao Kunning got married, she would no longer be Princess Yanping.Her concubine sister is incompetent and stupid, she can't compete with Xiao Kunning at all.

She can't get it, but Xiao Kunning wants it?

dream.

Zhou Wenqing was a little scared. If Xie Yu disagreed, the matter would not be done. Her brother was indeed dying, and she wanted to redeem it by being happy, but these were secret matters, and Xie Yu would never know.

She looked at the imperial concubine: "It's better to leave it alone."

Yan Ruyu waved her hand: "Brother Zhou is a good man, and he will surely overcome the difficulties. I will ask His Majesty to talk about it."

Zhou Wenqing vacillated: "Will His Majesty agree?"

"Your Majesty will definitely agree." Yan Ruyu said with a smile, offering a marriage to the Zhou family would get the support of Marquis Ding, which was the most convenient for him.

Zhou Wenqing was apprehensive, but seeing that the imperial concubine was confident, she felt a little confident.When returning to Guanzhizhai, Zhao Can was sitting on the porch eating, while Xiao Kunning was flipping through the book.

Zhao Can chattered as he ate, "I'm telling you, don't memorize it by rote, you have to understand it roughly, sir won't recite your words and phrases, he will definitely ask and answer."

Xiao Kunning couldn't read a single sentence. Maybe she was motivated to read such a book in her previous life.Now, with one heart and one mind, I really want to watch it.

When Zhou Wenqing approached, Zhao Can greeted with a smile: "Hi sister Zhou, you are not drunk, they are all drunk."

Zhou Wenqing panicked when he saw Xiao Kunning. When he saw her looking up at him again, his steps trembled in panic and he almost fell. Zhao Can stepped forward to support her, touched her cold hand, and shouted: "Sister's hand is good!" Cold and sweaty, are you uncomfortable?"

"Drink too much." Zhou Wenqing avoided Zhao Can's hand and hurried back to the room.

Zhao Can gasped twice, but didn't understand what Zhao Can meant, and the Xie Mansion was very lively at this moment.

During Xie Yu's illness, many courtiers brought over supplements and hosted a banquet tonight to thank him. Most of the respectable people in the court came, even Xiao Mingwang, who was welcomed into the mansion by Xie Yu himself.

When Yan Xiang came, Princess Jingyang said she was ill and would not go out, and when the banquet was finally about to be held, Princess Gaoyang led the people over slowly, and Xie Yu left everyone to greet her in person.

Princess Gaoyang's clothes are gorgeous, the peacocks on the skirt are embroidered lifelike, and the big peonies are extremely beautiful, and she is very beloved. As soon as the flamboyant carriage stops at the gate of Xie's mansion, that night pearl attracts people's attention.

Xie Yu bowed next to the car, Gao Yang straightened the golden step on his bun, looking around, there were many rubies dotted on the step, and the brightest one was the night pearl.

The luminous pearl on the car shone brightly in the dim light, while the luminous pearl on the hair bun looked dim, but there was no way, Buyao couldn't fit such a big luminous pearl.

After entering the hall, Gao Yang apologized to everyone: "I'm late, sorry, but I won't be able to see the luminous pearl on my car at dawn."

Xie Yu: "..."

Everyone: "..." The show off of wealth is too much, it's hard to see.

Gao Yang is the eldest princess, with a noble status, but Xie Yu is the master, so her seat is in the front, only one step away from Xie Yu. After seeing it, she still feels a little disgusted: "The seat of the Tai Tuo is quite big, how about we sit together?" ?”

Xie Yu was born with a good complexion, today he was wearing a green dress, tied with a jade belt around his waist, his figure was slender, and the candles illuminated him, this time was the most beautiful, as long as he could take a look, it was just a look.

Xie Yu never refused, stepped back half a step, and asked her to take a seat: "Also, please, Your Highness."

"Yo, today's Mrs. Xie speaks so nicely. I think you are much more beautiful than before." Gao Yang's red lips were moist, and he blinked at the upright Mrs. Xie, holding her hand and wanting to Walk.

Not too charming.

Xie Yu smiled lightly, instead of refusing, he held her hand instead: "Your Highness is joking."

When he got to the seat, Gao Yang didn't let go, but pulled it even tighter, making everyone's eyelids twitch.

After sitting down, Gao Yang was more presumptuous, reaching out to touch Xie Yu's wrist, the skin there was more delicate and smooth.Xie Yu didn't move, the free hand picked up the wine cup, took a sip, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness is molesting the minister, aren't you afraid that Zhao Erdong's family will pull out the night pearl from your car?"

Gao Yang was startled, and became more vigilant: "Teacher knows Ben Gong very well, but he likes Ben Gong and is jealous of Zhao Xiran?"

Xie Yu withdrew his hand, looked ahead, leaving Gao Yang with a cold profile: "I have a pure heart and few desires."

Gao Yang sneered at her: "Will you let me touch you if you are pure-hearted?"

Xie Yu said: "If I have my own heart, I won't sit with you."

"It seems to make some sense." Gao Yang had a sudden realization, then he thought, no, that day at the banquet, he clearly saw her holding Xiao Kunning's hand, so he should go to hell with his heart and desires.

After the banquet, maidservants filed in to serve with wine.

The leader was Bi Shu, Gao Yang was stunned when he saw it, and subconsciously stood up to look at her.

All the ministers were there, Bi Shu lowered his eyes, but he could still see the facial features clearly. Everyone didn't care about such a maidservant, and after seeing Princess Gao Yang lost her mind, they all looked at her.

Yan Xiang disdained Princess Gaoyang for being feminine, and sneered in his heart, but he also looked up.

A glance at the past, followed by ecstasy.

Many people saw the clue and looked closely at the facial features of the maid, and couldn't help but think of the long-dead Princess Leyang.

Several old officials have served three generations of monarchs, and have witnessed the demeanor of Princess Leyang with their own eyes. The facial features of the servant girl in front of them are [-]% like that, especially the eyebrows and eyes.

Xie Yu picked up the wine cup and took a drink, with a worried expression on his face, "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Gao Yang came back to his senses, seeing Xie Yu briskly, suppressing the doubts in his heart, while Bi Shu on the other side picked up the jug and poured wine for Yan Xiang.

Everyone saw the young girl standing on the side of the red sandalwood food table, with a tall body, and the wine poured out of her jug, and the wine cup in Yan Xiang's hand trembled inexplicably. , Do you feel that Sister Leyang's soul is coming to claim her life?"

"Your Highness is talking nonsense again." Yan Huaizhen regained his composure, raised his head and drank the whole glass of wine, while Bi Shu poured the wine again, a dagger suddenly fell out of his sleeve, she immediately picked it up and stabbed at him.

Xie Yu noticed it, and immediately jumped up: "Stop." Gao Yang wanted to pounce on her, but Gao Yang grabbed her and said gloatingly, "What's the matter, Taifu, you won't die from the stabbing."

It is also rare for an assassin to drop the dagger, I'm afraid there is another reason.

The water is very murky tonight, and it's just the beginning.

The dagger wiped Yan Xiang's cheek and left a red bloodstain, once he dodged the move, others rushed over to suppress Bi Shu.

Bi Shu struggled crazily, yelling that the dog thief will take his life to avenge his mother, kicking her to kick her away, her hair bun messed up, and under the gauze lamp, she looks very much like Princess Leyang.Gao Yang, who was seated above, applauded, but Xie Yu had no choice but to say, "Your Highness, don't make a fuss, you will be hurt if you don't see your face."

Princess Gao Yang choked: "Isn't it just a scar, where did you maidservant come from?"

Xie Yu said: "Your Majesty has rewarded you." When the mansion was opened, in order to show the emperor's grace, Zhao Mian sent more than a dozen people to serve him.

In this way, Xie Yu is not to blame.Gao Yang clapped his hands again, walked down from the seat, stared at the servant girl who was pinned down on the ground, raised her face, looked at her for a while, and said: "Are you twenty and two this year?"

Bi Shu snorted, which was regarded as a response.

A playful smile appeared in Gao Yang's eyes, he took out the handkerchief in his sleeve pocket to wipe off the dirt on her face, poked her eyebrows and eyes: "Your mother is Zhao Changjin?"

Bi Shu couldn't move, turned her face away from her veil, and remained silent.Gao Yang laughed, "It's a joy to kill your father, just like your mother."

If everyone hears this, if they don't understand, they won't be in a high position. Princess Leyang's boudoir name is Zhao Changjin. She is a patricide and your mother. The maid in front of her should be the child born by Princess Leyang and Yan Xianggou.

Yan Huaizhen covered the wound on his face, trembling with pain, and heard Gao Yang's nonsense, immediately scolded: "Gao Yang, don't talk nonsense, this woman assassinated the truth, she should be punished for her crime."

Gao Yang brushed away the crowd, helped Bi Shu up from the ground, stuffed the handkerchief into her hand, and sarcastically said: "You don't miss the friendship between father and daughter, but I should think about the friendship between uncle and nephew. Don't bother Your Majesty tonight, wait until dawn Afterwards, I will enter the palace and ask His Majesty, as for killing..." She paused for a moment, then stared at Yan Huaizhen who was sitting on the seat: "If you dare to kill her, I will bring people to the Prime Minister's mansion, and kill those of yours. The concubine and the legitimate son were killed cleanly, leaving no one to see you die."

Xie Yu approached, and made peace in a gentle voice: "This matter is too coincidental, Princess Gaoyang needs to wait."

"What are you waiting for?" Gao Yang turned on Xie Yu, seeing that she was cold and gentle, and he didn't want to scold the beauty, but she felt uncomfortable because of her appearance, and scolded: "Xie Yu is blind because she is young. , everyone here has seen Princess Leyang, is it possible that this child is not like her?"

The facial features are very similar, and she is 22 years old, which coincides with the age when Princess Leyang gave birth to her child, and she shouted to avenge her mother, which makes people have to think.

Yan Huaizhen was in pain and anxious, his eyes trembled and his whole body trembled when he looked at Bishu, and Bishu looked at him resentfully: "If I don't die, then you die, when you drug my mother, you should think of what will happen today." .”

"Shut up, witch, the truth is upright, don't talk nonsense..."

Yan Xiang was annoyed and didn't know how to explain. After all, who would have thought that what happened more than 20 years ago would be revealed, and the others silently stepped aside without knowing the situation.

The protagonist Xie Yu was at a loss, so he asked Princess Gaoyang to go back to the mansion first: "I will discuss this matter with His Majesty. As for her, she must stay."

Princess Gao Yang refused, and pulled Bi Shu to leave, Xie Yu started to stop her: "Your Highness, don't embarrass me."

"So what if it's difficult for you, Taifu Xie has the ability to stop me today. As for these girls, I must take them away." Gao Yang waved Xie Yu away with a wave of his sleeve, with great strength, Xie Yu swayed, Nongqin supported her by the side.

Everyone in the room watched Gao Yang take away the female assassin, and they cursed in pain, with a sullen look on their faces.

Xie Yu apologized and said, "Forgive me, I will definitely bring the assassin back."

The banquet broke up at this point, Yan Huaizhen left the house with a scar on his face, Xie Yu personally sent the man to the carriage, and ordered Nongqin to deliver it in person.

The dagger that assassinated Yan Huaizhen remained in the empty room. Xie Yu bent over to pick it up, and there were still a few drops of blood on it.

This is Yan Huaizhen's blood.

****

Before noon the next day, the story of Yan Pingnian drugging Princess Leyang became known to the common people.

Today was supposed to be Xie Yu's class, but the students waited for a long time but did not see Mr. Zhao coming over. Zhao Can ran over from the outside and said excitedly, "My Aunt Leyang's daughter is back."

Xiao Kunning's eyelids twitched, he had never heard of this character in his previous life, where did this come from?

Zhao Can said again: "Mr. hosted a banquet last night. The assassin assassinated Yan Xiang at the banquet, but failed. This morning, I found out that the assassin was Aunt Le Yang's daughter, oh, also Yan Xiang's daughter."

Shen Yunzhi suddenly said from the side: "Then is this the eldest daughter of the Yan family?"

Oh, Princess Yanping is probably going to be replaced again.
