Enemies are reborn

Chapter 28 How many months can I stay if I can't live in the palace?

The melodious sound of the piano, the high mountains and flowing water, some people are immersed in it, and some are staring at the word "Nine Heavens" on the piano.

The atmosphere in the hall is not good, there is an undercurrent in the clan, but the courtiers are pleasing to the eye.

After Xiao Kunning felt the surprised gaze on the other side, he immediately withdrew his hand, holding up the wine glass as a cover.

Xie Yu couldn't think of so much, and felt a little lonely for a while, so he picked up the wine glass like Xiao Kunning, took a sip, and frowned slightly.

so spicy.

Gao Yang has experienced too much in the flowers, and he always feels that something is wrong, especially Xie Yu's flat temper, he took the initiative to shake the student's hand, which is disrespectful.

No, Xie Yu is much younger than her, she is disrespectful, so what is she?

A misnomer, a misnomer.

Gao Yang stopped looking at the pair of teachers and students, but set her sights on the emperor Zhao Mian. She sat up straight, and said to the emperor with a smile, "What do you think of this orchid, Your Majesty? She is beautiful, and she is from a foreign land. Style, if you change your taste, if she is alone, she should be given a good place to serve her pen and ink, but it is also good to make a bed and make a quilt."

After a few words, everyone's jaws dropped in shock. Will there be less people making beds and blankets around the emperor?Obviously he wanted to recommend a beauty.

Orchids have a variety of styles, half-covered and half-revealed, with brilliance in their eyes, this is a taste that people in Dazhou don't have.

Zhao Mian is full of blood, and when he saw such a beauty, he felt itchy. When he heard the phrase 'alone', he understood. There are many concubines in the palace, but they are deeply rooted. Behind them is the whole family. beware.

Orchid is different, there is no one behind her, it is much simpler.

No matter what the Queen Mother's face was, he readily agreed, "Auntie's people are naturally beautiful."

Gao Yang smiled: "Someone gave it to you, so I have to keep Qin, otherwise I will be at a great loss."

Zhao Mian raised his head and laughed loudly: "My aunt really loves to talk and laugh, and it's hard work to go back and forth. Why don't I wait until the winter to return to the fiefdom. The city of Chang'an is very lively."

Gao Yang didn't get along with Jingyang, and he was very happy to see Jingyang's deflated look, and there was a relationship, the queen mother would be unhappy if Gao Yang was around.

Why not do it.

Gao Yang and Zhao Mian hit it off immediately, nodded immediately, and did not forget to glance at Xie Yu who was opposite, and said: "I heard that Taifu Xie's residence is quite big, I wonder how many months I might stay here?"

Borrow?Xie Yu frowned, a little childish, Xiao Kunning beside him squeezed his sweat, and secretly held Xie Yu's hand, signaling her to refuse.

If such a bodhisattva is brought into the mansion, sooner or later it will be revealed.

After shaking hands like this, the corners of Xie Yu's lips curled up. Remembering what Sister Xiao said about pretending to be unhappy, she quickly straightened her back, drooped her face, and refused: "No, the house is crowded and there is no place to live."

The yard is only that big. Dr. Su and Gu Ning live in one room, she lives in one room, and Sister Xiao lives in one room. The rest is given to the cook and shopkeeper. If the princess goes again, she will live with Sister Xiao.

No way.

Gao Yang never dreamed that Xie Yu would refuse so simply, making her unable to get off the stage, he slapped the table and said angrily: "Xie Yu, don't be shameless."

The emperor took a sip of his wine and smiled faintly. He could see clearly that this widowed aunt had caught Taifu Xie's attention.

What kind of person is Xie Yu, she didn't even bat an eye when he made a promise in the future.

Xie Yu is only blind to fall in love with Aunt Gao Yang who is so flirtatious.

The blind Xie Yu still held the wine cup in his hand, while Xiao Kunning held the other hand, just quietly looking at the angry person opposite: "Yes."

Just such a word, admitting that I am shameless.

Gao Yang didn't know what to say anymore, she had contacted a lot of high-ranking officials and emperors, such as those who were capable, those who were full of wealth, and those with high eyesight, but this was the first time she had seen someone with such a calm disposition.

If you scold her, she won't retaliate, if you humiliate her, she will remain indifferent.

With a punch in the cotton, there is no strength left.

In front of the officials, can't you just stare at them and scold them?

Disgraceful.

Gao Yang sat down resentfully, Jingyang Le blossomed, followed the wind and mocked Gao Yang: "Teacher Xie is a person who likes to be clean, not stained with dust, not something ordinary people want to touch."

It means that Xie Yu looks down on you, because you are too mediocre and not worthy of her.

Gao Yang didn't gnaw, the courage of the tongue is of no use, the fun is yet to come.

After the flags died down here, Jingyang also shut up resentfully, Yan Ruyu's playing the piano tonight was a waste of time, and she watched the opportunity pass by her fingertips helplessly.

Tonight was not Xie Yu's home game, and everyone could hardly notice her. The Queen Mother's place was very lively, and the courtiers toasted frequently.

After drinking for three rounds, Zhao Ji, who hadn't spoken for a long time, stood up. Guanyu's face was flushed, and he was drunk. But push people away.

Outrageous behavior.

At this moment, Xie Yu's eyes revealed disgust, and he moved towards Xiao Kunning's place. The stool could not be picked up, so he could only calm down.

Xiao Kunning was used to the way she hugged the stool, afraid that Gao Yang would become suspicious again, so he pulled her to sit down, "Watch the show well."

Xie Yu moved for a long time without moving, feeling frustrated, he held Sister Xiao's hand again, soft.

It was comfortable and she quieted down.

The drunken man walked up to the Queen Mother and knelt down. It was a happy day, but he saw sadness on his face, especially the disgust and sadness in his eyes, which was hard to hide.

As soon as Zhao Ji knelt down, Gao Yang began to sing a different tune: "What happened to His Royal Highness King Yanping today? Weeping with joy?"

The Empress Dowager held the wine cup vigorously, while Yan Ruyu was full of shyness, she was just one step away, as long as Zhao Ji spoke, she would be Princess Yanping.

future queen.

Xiao Kunning is just the daughter of a servant, what can I use to fight her?

joke.

Zhao Ji bowed his head solemnly, first congratulating his mother on her birthday, and then numbly said: "My son has admired the eldest daughter of Yan Xiang for a long time, she is a gentle lady, a gentleman is very good, but the palace has a mistress, Miss Yan is intelligent and virtuous, both internal and external, I want to kowtow Please agree with the emperor's brother and mother, that I want to marry Yan Xiang's eldest daughter as Princess Yanping."

Smart and virtuous, both internal and external, this horoscope sounds like irony.Xiao Kunning was surprised on the face and ridiculed in the bottom of her heart. In her previous life, she disrupted the situation, and Xie Yu meddled in the process of choosing a concubine. In this life, no one stopped her, and she didn't even have to choose, she directly identified Yan Ruyu.

It was Zhao Ji who suffered.

She wanted to stop it, but when she saw Zhao Ji's painful expression, she suddenly felt relieved.

After King Yanping bowed down solemnly, the emperor Zhao Mian's expression was very subtle, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, like a smile, but the curve was more like sarcasm.

For a time, it was wonderful.

Xiao Kunning was happy, Gao Yang on the opposite side threw a fruit at her, as if asking why you were laughing.

Xiao Kunning bent her lips, and held Xie Yu's hand tighter. Yan Ruyu's life will be difficult in the future, how could she be unhappy.

Gao Yang didn't know why Zhao Xiran, the adopted daughter, looked so stupid. Hearing that King Yanping liked Xiao's daughter, Xiao Kunning had no hope, so he should cry.

Looking at the hands tightly held by the two under the table, I immediately understood.

Zhao Ji asked in tears to marry the eldest daughter of the Yan family. Everyone just thought he loved him deeply and wept with joy, and didn't think much of him.

The hands of the emperor's cuffs were tightly clenched, but his complexion was extremely good-looking, slightly drunk, making him more and more suave and suave, not like the emperor, but like a child of an ordinary family.Facing the crowd, he smiled and got up to help King Yanping: "I know your intentions, I agree, and I will decree a marriage tomorrow. The little prince is alone, so it would be fun for you to add a younger sister to him."

Zhao Mian's words contained some words, one hinted that he had a son, and the other wished that Zhao Ji would have a daughter.

Xie Yu was not far away from him, feeling a restrained anger, approached Xiao Kunning and whispered: "He doesn't seem happy."

Xiao Kunning was in a beautiful mood, and he held Xie Yu's hand tightly, and he didn't dislike her anymore, and told her quietly: "Because the person he likes was robbed."

Xie Yu said: "Take it back."

Xiao Kunning said: "But people don't like him."

Xie Yu was silent, seeing Zhao Ji getting up, the emperor was in a bad mood, and asked in a low voice, "Then who do you like?"

Xiao Kunning said: "I like others."

Xie Yu ground his teeth: "Then kill him."

Xiao Kunning couldn't smile, the smile froze on the corners of his lips, he withdrew his hand, and looked at her blankly.Xie Yushui's eyes were haloed with mist, beautiful and cold, the incarnation of the devil.

The emperor of the other side issued a decree to grant the marriage, Yan Xiang came out to thank Yan Ruyu in place of Yan Ruyu, Zhao Ji retreated to his seat in a daze.

The biggest excitement of the queen mother's banquet was over, and the courtiers stood up to greet Yanping King and Yan Xiang, Yan Ruyu was shy, and took a small sip of wine in the face of everyone's congratulations.

The banquet was over, and it was almost Haishi, the emperor left the banquet, and took Orchid away before leaving, so he must be favored tonight.

Xie Yu didn't leave first, but waited slowly for everyone to leave before getting up and leaving. Gao Yang walked slowly on the palace road, and saw the bright lights at the palace gate from a distance.

When she was halfway on the road, she took the opportunity to leave from the path.

Xie Yu saw it sharp-eyed, and grabbed Xiao Kunning's arm: "If she doesn't go home, where will she go?"

Princess Gaoyang has been away from Beijing for ten years, so she should have become unfamiliar with the environment in the palace. She wanders around the palace in black light, not afraid of being caught by the queen mother?

Leaving the palace is coming soon, although she is curious, she can't follow. Xie Yu has a special status and can't stay long.

Holding back his curiosity, he went back to Moxiangzhai with Xie Yu.

The shopkeeper left the back door open, and after the two entered, Xie's carriage returned to Xie's mansion as usual.

There was no light in the yard, and Xie Yu walked straight to Xiao Kunning's house, but Xiao Kunning couldn't even pull her back, and she didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup Dr. Su had poured into her, saying thunder every day.

Gu Ning's room was still lit, and laughter came from inside. When Xie Yu closed the window, he couldn't help being curious when he heard the laughter: "What are they laughing at, why aren't they sleeping?"

She doesn't understand, Xiao Kunning definitely understands, but understanding and saying it are two different things, "There are happy things, you go to bed early, don't worry about them."

Xie Yu slowly closed the window, washed his face and lay down, while Xiao Kunning carried the quilt from Xie Yu's room and handed it to her: "You sleep here, not mine."

The light in Xie Yu's eyes bloomed, and he lay down hugging the quilt, and couldn't wait to say good night.

Xiao Kunning: "..." Is she too kind, wouldn't it be good to strangle Xie Yu to death?

Mo Xiangzhai calmed down, but the palace was chaotic.

After the emperor returned to the bedroom, he ordered Hu Ji to wash it, but who knew that it was Yan Ruyu who was lying on the dragon couch.

Naked. Naked. Lying down.

But Hu Ji died tragically in the bathroom, and her body was hidden in the closet. If the blood hadn't flowed out of the closet, the palace people would not have noticed it for a while.

It's fine if Hu Ji died, but the emperor happened to meet Yan Ruyu.

How it happened, no one knows, no one would refuse such a big temptation from a woman, let alone a drunken emperor.

The emperor had no choice but to cover the quilt and ordered someone to invite the queen mother.

Even deeper, the empress dowager came to the emperor's bedroom in a chariot when she was old, she didn't say anything, she cursed secretly in her heart, the weather was cold, it was not worrying.

The emperor was wearing thin pajamas, and sat barefoot at the table. The palace servants kneeling on the ground in the hall were trembling and frightened, not daring to raise their heads.

The Empress Dowager had a face full of frost, but when she saw this situation, her anger dissipated, and she entered the palace and asked, "Why does the emperor not rest in the middle of the night?"

The emperor stood up as if waking up from a dream when he saw the empress dowager, and saluted first, his face was full of unbearable, and he pointed to the person on the dragon bed: "I want to ask the empress mother, what does the Yan family mean? Ah Ji likes Yan Ruyu, but Why did this woman kill Hu Ji and appear on my bed? Brothers and wives, others know what they think of me?"

They filed a complaint as soon as they met, and pushed all the responsibilities to the Yan family. This kind of opening made the Queen Mother unexpected.

Seeing is believing, the Empress Dowager pushed away the palace man's hand, walked quickly to the bed, quickly lifted the quilt, and saw Yan Ruyu with her eyes closed.

The clothes are naked, and the scenery is exposed.

Needless to say, the emperor had already seen it.

She said angrily: "Yan Ruyu is just a daughter's family, how to kill people, how to get herself into your bed, what the emperor wants to do, don't think that the Ai family doesn't know."

With Yan Ruyu, Yan Xiang and Jingyang will immediately turn the tide, don't think she doesn't know.

Yan Ruyu tried her best to be the princess of Yanping, but at the last step, there was no time for joy, and she would come to the emperor to recommend her as a pillow, who would believe it?

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled back from anger, his eyes were cold and icy: "If I want her, I would have wanted her long ago, and I will wait until the marriage is granted? Is the queen mother exonerated the Yan family? Yan Ruyu is stupid, you treat her as my consort." Do you like her? Xie Yu is the one I want to marry, and Xie Yu will be the second seat, pearls and jade are the first, and I don’t even want Yan Ruyu to give it to me. "

"You..." The queen mother was unable to answer for a while, indeed, any woman would be overshadowed by Xie Yu's presence.

The emperor's words also reminded her that the emperor could not get Xie Yu. If Xie Yu hadn't appeared in those years, the throne would have belonged to her son Zhao Ji long ago. Since there is a precedent, Xie Yu must either not stay or marry for her use.

Women always want to marry.

But Yan Ruyu's chess piece is useless, and it's useless to find the murderer at this time. No matter who is the mastermind, she can't marry Zhao Ji again.

Now that she suffered from being dumb, she had to be dealt with quietly. Zhao Ji would not want Yan Ruyu, who had been seen by the emperor, even in death.

The queen mother ordered Yan Ruyu to be moved out together with the quilt, calmed down, and said: "The matter must be investigated, Yan Ruyu can't marry Yanping King, and can't marry you, so send him out of Chang'an City, otherwise the matter of brothers and wives will cause trouble." The city is full of wind and rain."

The emperor waved his hand and signaled the palace people to move out. He even lost his face towards the queen mother and said, "The queen mother is the master. I'm tired. Let's rest first."

The empress dowager was deflated, with a gloomy expression, she helped the palace staff out of the emperor's bedroom, and called the maidservant who was serving Yan Ruyu over.

The Jinwu guard searched all the way, and fished out a corpse from the pond outside the Qingyun Hall. The person had died a long time ago.

The Empress Dowager was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. Immediately, she remembered the dirty things, called the man back, and said: "Keep it secret, don't let others know."

In the middle of the night after the busy road, the mind was tired, and the palace caught fire again.

An abandoned palace has been unoccupied for a long time, and almost no one sets foot.Last night, when the Jinwu Guard was looking for people everywhere, the sparks from the torch accidentally fell on the withered grass, causing a fire due to carelessness.

After listening to the message, Gu Ning wondered: "How cautious the Jinwu Guard is, the sparks from the torch splashed down, are the Jinwu Guards all dead people? Can't see it?"

Su Ying was crushing medicine, and felt strange hearing these words, "Is there something inside?"

Xiao Kunning suddenly remembered that Gao Yang went to the harem last night, and it seemed unusual to contact these things. She tentatively said: "Gao Yang did not leave when he left the banquet last night, but went to the harem instead."

The corner of Gu Ning's mouth twitched, "That has nothing to do with us, just pretend we don't know, and each do his own thing."

Su Ying continued to grind the medicine, subconsciously raised her head to look at Xie Yu, her eyes gradually became darker.And Xie Yu carved the wood as if no one was there. She leaned over and the wood gradually became outline: "Where did you learn this?"

Xie Yu raised his head, glanced at her, then lowered his head again, without speaking.

Xie Yu's mind is not as good as before, but his guard is still there, and he has become even more silent, like a bottomless well, which cannot be seen clearly with the naked eye.

She watched Xie Yu's slender, jade-like fingers resting on the brown wood, digging out the excess wood with one knife at a time. The simple and ordinary movements showed some concentration.

Xie Xiaoyu has a low mentality, but hasn't said a word that shouldn't be said in recent days. This kind of Xie Xiaoyu is impressive.

There are too many secrets about Xie Yu, which she didn't know before, but now that she is higher than her peers after being poisoned, she is different.

She placed the medicinal materials, and Xie Yu who was facing him showed a smile, all charming, and looked at Xiao Kunning again, thoughtfully, never glanced at Xie Yu from the beginning to the end.

Falling flowers are intentional and ruthless.

Deserve it.

Su Ying sorted out the medicinal materials, woke up Gu Ning, and the two went to the medicine shop together.Xie Yu looked up, waited for the person to walk away, and then smiled at Xiao Kunning: "Does sister like fish?"

Xiao Kunning was still thinking about Princess Gaoyang, what to do if he had nothing to do with burning a palace, if he tried his best to burn it, he would also burn the Queen Mother's palace.

Xie Yu called her, but she came back to her senses in a daze: "I don't like it, too many thorns."

Xie Yu put down the carving knife, and said, "I saw fish in the kitchen just now. I will eat fish at night, and I will pick fish bones for my sister."

Only then did Xiao Kunning turn around, and raised his eyes like autumn water, with surprise in his eyes: "Why are you so kind to me?"

Okay a little abnormal.

Xie Yu said: "If you treat me well, I will treat you well, isn't it unusual?"

Xiao Kunning wondered, when did she treat Xie Yu well?

The grievances from her previous life were there, she wished she could strangle Xie Yu and kill Xie Yu, where did the good come from?

joke.Xie Xiaoyu was full of lies and couldn't answer, it was still early, and he had to go back to the house to have a look, Luo's sickness should be almost healed.

Send Xie Yu to the kitchen, let her toss around like this, order the shopkeeper to guard the door, and don't let Xie Yu run out.

Xiao Mingwang was not seen at the banquet last night, and he didn't know what happened in the mansion, so he entered the mansion through the side door, and when he entered the courtyard, He Lan came out of the house.

When Helan saw his master whom he hadn't seen for a few days, he immediately stepped forward and told her what had happened recently: "The couple left and went back to the countryside with the 1000 yuan given by the eldest girl. Break away from the relationship. But Madam is still not happy, she can't be chosen as the princess of Yanping King."

When Xiao Kunning heard this, she wasn't very happy. It was still a question of whether Yan Ruyu's princess position could be secured after the bizarre incident happened last night.

For example, what did the Jinwu Guard do in the abandoned palace?There was an accident during inspections in the past, but yesterday the palace was burned down, so Gao Yang had something to do with it.

They are all unsolved mysteries.

Let people fetch water to take a bath, take a comfortable bath, and feel a lot of relaxation in the whole body. If there is no Xie Yu, she can still sleep comfortably.

After taking a shower, I saw Xiao Wenxue sitting in the room.

Xiao Wenxue is wearing a bi-color skirt today, fresh and elegant, with a light smile.And Xiao Kunning just got out of the bath, his whole body was covered with water mist, the humidity was hazy, and the dewdrops on the morning brought a crystal clear beauty.

The resentment between the two disappeared because of their blood relationship. Xiao Kunning wiped her hair, sat down casually, and said, "Congratulations on your release. I entered the palace last night. Yan Ruyu, who was chosen by Zhao Ji, was unwilling. There will be no peace in the future."

Xiao Wenxue folded her hands in front of her body, behaved very well, and smiled calmly when she heard the words: "It was not Yan Ruyu who was decided last night, but the eldest daughter of the Yan family."

Xiao Kunning paused when he intervened, and asked in surprise: "Isn't the eldest daughter of the Yan family Yan Ruyu?"

Xiao Wenxue smiled deeply: "It's not Yan Ruyu, she was born of a concubine, and is recorded under the name of the eldest princess. Before her, there was an elder sister, and the eldest princess Jingyang recorded Yan Xi under the name, so, the princess It's not Yan Ruyu, but the daughter of a little-known concubine."

This is different from Zhao Ji's request last night. Zhao Ji said that the eldest daughter of the Yan family was the eldest daughter, but everyone knew that only Yan Ruyu was recorded under the princess's name, occupying the word 'di'.

A sudden substitution meant that Yan Ruyu was useless.

Yan Ruyu was prepared by Princess Jingyang for Zhao Ji. She worked hard for many years and gave up overnight. There is only one theory, that is, Yan Ruyu had an improper relationship with Zhao Mian.

Xiao Wenxue stopped talking, and opened a wooden box from the side table, with a gentle smile on her lips, "I have no money left, I have nothing to thank you for, this is the sachet I embroidered, Count it as a thank you."

Xiao Kunning sneered: "My mother said that women who learn from women workers should not move the needle easily except for the ones they love."

Xiao Wenxue was taken aback, she really had no money, and she was embarrassed to ask her mother for it. She embroidered it after a few nights of work. The moon-white cloth was embroidered with mountains and distant waters, the sky was boundless, and Xiao Kunning's free and easy temperament Very well matched.

She smiled and said, "When did you listen to my mother's words?"

Xiao Kunning thinks about it too, once this incident happened, the Luo family became suspicious of Xiao Wenxue, from now on it will be up to Xiao Wenxue to be obedient or not.

She took the sachet, "You are indeed outstanding, and I also want to tell you that women should not be imprisoned in one world, but should go out of the four worlds to have a look."

Xiao Wenxue stood up, with a tall figure, swaying like a butterfly, without flaws, perfect, she thought for a while: "That's fine, but my father intends to propose a marriage for you and me. set."

Xiao Kunning didn't care, and looked down at the waist, which was empty, and tied the sachet casually, "I don't want to marry, I want to marry you."

Xiao Wenxue smiled, but when she looked up, she saw a maid hurriedly walking in the courtyard.

As soon as the maid came to the corridor, she shouted: "Girl, Princess Gaoyang is here and wants to invite you out to play."
