It is the time when the clouds stop raining

Xie Liangping asked, "I wonder why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come here?" When the two of them were together, Xie Liangping was sweating a little. This sweat was not because he was afraid of Xia Qi Yang, but because he was afraid that Song Wan Yi would misunderstand him.

Xia Qi Yang stuffed a grape into his mouth: "The grapes from the Marquis' Mansion are delicious."

Xie Liangping said: "Your Highness, if you like it, please eat more." After eating, he left quickly.

Xia Qi Yang really started eating the grapes and kept saying how delicious they were.

Xie Liangping, who was standing aside, was so scared that he broke out in a sweat again, wondering what the prince was trying to do today.

After eating a bowl of grapes, Xia Qi Yang said, "My Lord, please take me around. I haven't been to this mansion for nine years. I've been missing the scenery of the mansion these days."

Xie Liangping took Xia Qi Yang to tour the mansion. Xia Qi Yang sighed from time to time that this place had changed, that place had not changed, this place was more refined, and this place was a little poetic.

It seems like they really come here to eat, drink and have fun.

Walking to Yunshu's courtyard, Xia Qiyang said, "If I remember correctly, this is sister Yunshu's courtyard, right? Thank you, Lord Marquis. I heard that you arranged for a wild man to live next to Yunshu's courtyard."

Xie Liangping wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained, "Yun Shu and Mr. Fang are in love with each other."

Xia Qi Yang said: "Sister Yun Shu is getting more and more boring as she grows up. Now it seems that her brain and eyes are broken. She actually fell in love with that wild man. This prince is very sad."

Xie Liangping explained hastily: "Girls always have their own ideas when they grow up."

Xia Qi Yang asked again, "Your niece is going to get engaged to Master Yulong of the Duke of Zheng's mansion."

Xie Liangping did not dare to hide it: "That's exactly what I meant."

Xia Qi Yang said casually: "Why do I feel that Lord Xie treats his niece better than his own daughter?" Xia Qi Yang looked at Xie Liangping, with a smile not visible in his eyes.

Xie Liangping was so scared that he quickly knelt down. The thing he was most worried about happened. The prince came to him to settle accounts with Yun Shu. "Reporting to the prince, it is true that they are in love with each other."

Xia Qi Yang looked at the pavilion in front and said, "What a couple in love. There is a pavilion in front. Let someone call Yun Shu over so I can see for myself what's in her mind. And wash some grapes for her too." He hasn't eaten enough grapes yet.

Xie Liangping ordered his servants to call Yunshu, and he accompanied Xia Qiyang to the pavilion to wait.

Yun Shu came over after a while and bowed, saying, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Xia Qi Yang looked at Yun Shu and said, "Get up, sit down and eat some grapes."

Yun Shu sat down next to her father Xie Liangping and looked at him in confusion. What was going on? Why did the prince call her here?

Xia Qi Yang watched the two people's actions and asked, "Yun Shu, what's wrong with Mr. Fang next door?"

Yun Shu replied: "Mr. Fang is a good student. He is now our honored guest. Why are you here as a guest?"

Xia Qi Yang added: "I mean why is he living next door to you? Don't tell me there are no other guest rooms in the mansion."

Xie Liangping gently pulled at the corner of Yunshu's clothes. Yunshu looked at her father and understood what she meant. It turned out that in front of outsiders, he also knew that this was an act of selling his daughter cheaply: "Reporting to His Royal Highness, I admire Mr. Fang's talent, and my father intends to arrange a marriage for the two of us."

Xia Qi Yang asked in confusion: "You like a wild man like him?"

Yun Shu nodded. Seeing Yun Shu nod, Xie Liangping breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I managed to get away with it.

Xia Qi Yang said: "I thought you were full of shit, but it turns out you were full of shit. Since you like him, just like this wild man."

Yun Shu nodded again: "Thank you for your help, Your Highness. How about you help us to the end, Your Highness, and grant us a marriage. You will serve us, and we will also be proud."

Xia Qi Yang looked into Yun Shu's sparkling eyes. If he didn't know her true thoughts, he would have been deceived by her appearance. He said, "If Mr. Fang is on the list, I will ask His Majesty to grant you two a marriage."

Yun Shu knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Xia Qi Yang said, "Why are you thanking me? I have thanked you many times. I promised you something. Lord, Yun Shu, you also have to promise me one thing."

Yun Shu didn't have time to be happy. When she heard Xia Qi Yang say this, she subconsciously looked at Xie Liangping, wondering how to answer.

Seeing the two of them were silent, Xia Qi Yang asked again: "Why don't you say anything, Lord? You don't take my words to heart."

Xie Liangping quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Highness, I don't know what you want me and your daughter to do. I'm afraid I can't do it well and will delay your Highness's business."

In a word, I don't want to work for the prince.

Xia Qiyang said: "Nothing else, if you have time, I'll ask the Marquis to give the Yun family twenty taels of silver every month."

Xie Liangping was about to refuse. He had finally cut off ties with the Yun family. If he gave them money again, wouldn't he be linked to the Yun family again?

Xia Qi Yang said: "My Lord is the son-in-law of the Yun family, and I am also half a son-in-law of the Yun family, my Lord, don't you think so?"

Xie Liangping said: "Your Highness, please punish me. I cannot do that."

Before Xia Qiyang came, he had already thought of Xie Liangping's refusal, but he didn't expect that he would not hesitate for even a second: "My Lord, you don't want to do it. In this case, I won't make it difficult for you. I wanted to split the twenty taels with the Marquis's Mansion. Since my Lord doesn't want to, the East Palace will pay for the twenty taels. My Lord, just run errands to deliver it. I think Yunshu is a good errand boy."

Yun Shu, who was called, looked at the prince and then at Xie Liangping. She didn't know how to answer.

Xie Liangping replied: "Your Highness, Yun Shu is not qualified to be this errand boy."

Xia Qiyang looked at Xie Liangping and said, "You think I am discussing this with you? You have to accept this order whether you want to or not."

Xie Liangping said: "Your Highness should be diligent in government affairs. Now you are working so hard for a guilty minister. Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will be sad?"

Xia Qi Yang said: "My Lord, you can go and impeach this prince."

Xie Liangping said: "Your Highness, we cannot work together if we have different ideals."

Xia Qi Yang said: "The Marquis's Tao is not the Crown Prince or the East Palace, then what is it?"

Xie Liangping said: "The way of an old minister is only to the emperor of today."

Xia Qi Yang said, "Don't be afraid, my Lord. I just came to test you. As expected, my Lord is a man of great integrity and never discriminates against his relatives." Then he said to Yun Shu, "Yun Shu, you have a good father. Cherish your father. People can't always be high and mighty."

After the prince left, Old Lady Xie came over and asked, "Liangping, what happened?" Why did she see the prince leave in anger?

Yun Shu was also anxious: "Father, what did the prince mean by his last words?"

The old lady asked, "Yunshu, what did the prince say at the end?"

Yunshu repeated to her grandmother what the prince had just said, that people cannot always be superior. Old Madam Xie was shocked after hearing this. Could it be that the prince was going to do something bad to the Marquis' Mansion?

Madam Xie complained, "Liangping, how dare you treat the prince like that? After all, he is the prince, and it's not a big deal. You can just agree first. It's just a gift of silver. The Marquis' Mansion has plenty of it."

Xie Liangping said: "What Queen Song hates most is fence-sitters." If they offend Queen Song and the Song family, their good days in the Marquisate will be over.

Old Madam Xie said: "Liangping, you may not know yet, but Xia Ruofeng is living next door to their house now." Xia Ruofeng has been living there for several days, and the Prince Jin's Mansion cannot control him, and the Emperor has not made any statement. This is a signal.

The emperor should still have some affection for the Yun family.

Prince Jin is the younger brother of the current emperor, and Xia Ruofeng is the nephew of the current emperor. Is what he is doing now has the emperor's tacit approval?

Xie Liangping asked: "When did this happen? Why didn't anyone tell me?"

Old Madam Xie said: "On the day of the wine tasting, I was wondering why Xia Ruofeng didn't go to the wine tasting. It turned out that he was helping the Yun family. Didn't you say before that you were not allowed to tell you anything about the Yun family?" At that time, the Yun family was down and out and came to Xie Liangping for help several times. Xie Liangping told the servants that no one or anything about the Yun family should appear in front of him in the future.
