Tianhuang nobleman

Bai Ren heard the news in the Prince's Mansion, and immediately changed his face, Qi Xiao frowned: "Where did this word come from?"

Jiang Deqing shook his head: "I'm really not sure about this. There are so many people in the palace. We can only inquire about rumors, but we can't find out who made the rumors... Where can we find out in the forbidden palace?"

Bai Ren gritted his teeth: "The day after tomorrow will be Rou Jia Xiao Ding's day, in case He Mansion hears about it..."

"Don't worry." Qi Xiao patted the back of Bai Ren's hand reassuringly, and said softly, "Zi Chen is not the one who listens to the wind and rain, and these days Rou Jia has been living in the princess mansion, Kang Tai's reputation has been ruined, and the She has nothing to do."

The boudoir daughter, the most taboo thing is to spread these romantic affairs, those stories of love at first sight and reunion for life, it is a good story on the stage, but it is a scandal in your own home.The reputations of the daughters and sisters who were born in the boudoir are mutual, one is prosperous and the other is damaged. If one reputation is lost, it will be difficult for the other daughters to find someone else. Knowing about the dispute between the concubine and the concubine in the Lingnan Palace, and knowing that Rou Jia and Kang Tai were not raised together since they were young, the influence is not great.

Even so, Bai Ren's face turned pale with anger, Qi Xiao gave Jiang Deqing a wink, pulled Bai Ren to sit on the couch and said softly: "He Fu hasn't said anything yet, you should be in a hurry , getting angry and hurting the body, drink some tea..."

Bai Ren frowned: "They didn't say anything, how do you know that people don't dislike it in their hearts, Kangtai... I knew that it would be a good thing if she came, if I knew that Roujia, who was hurt because of this, would hate He Mansion, I will definitely..."

"Okay." Qi Xiao chuckled, "It's not that I'm sympathetic to you. Mrs. He likes your sister so much, she only regards her as a lucky star. I'll ask someone to investigate secretly to see if it's Chong Roujia. It came... I don't think so. Everyone knows that both sides of the marriage between Roujia and He's family are very willing. It's impossible for the He family to change their minds temporarily. In my opinion... some people really can't hold back Stop it, what happened to Roujia was just an accidental injury."

Bai Ren pursed his lower lips, thought for a while and suddenly said: "You mean... this is from Empress Feng?"

Qi Xiao didn't say yes or no, he smiled lightly and said: "I only know that it will be difficult for Kangtai to find another family if such a rumor spreads, and through the marriage between Qi Hua and your family The revival of the Feng Mansion is exactly what Empress Feng would like to see, she invited Kangtai into the palace before, and she deliberately let Kangtai and Qi Hua meet, isn't it for this reason?"

Bai Ren fully understood: "It turned out that it was a lie to persuade Kangtai, to lure Kangtai into the palace, and to use this to ruin Kangtai's reputation, so that she had to marry Qi Hua. It is true, and Empress Feng... is too poisonous."

Qi Xiao chuckled: "It's just that the dog jumped the wall in a hurry, but this probably won't work."

Bai Ren looked at Qi Xiao suspiciously: "Why doesn't it work? If such rumors are spread, if you want to quell the rumors, and also for the reputation of the second prince and Kangtai, the best way is to make the fake come true."

Qi Xiao shook his head: "I told you the day before yesterday, no matter what their intentions are, in the end it will be nothing but nothing."

"The first emperor still hated Qi Hua because of the matter of the court lady before, and he doubted the Feng family, how could he want to revive the Feng family? Just say a rumor is nonsense, that is, he won't grant a marriage. The Feng family doesn't have half a point to negotiate conditions with the emperor now. Empress Feng can only worry about the capital, after this incident, not to mention that she can't take advantage of it, the emperor is probably completely determined to give up Qi Hua... all the methods are used on other people's boudoir daughters, what can they do? "

Qi Xiao smiled reassuringly: "So, in the end, Empress Feng has to suffer. As for Kangtai...then she can only consider herself unlucky."

Qi Xiao's analysis was reasonable, and Bai Ren couldn't find any faults. He nodded and said, "It should be like this... I don't care about them, as long as Rou Jia is fine, it should be fine, right?"

Bai Ren's mind is full of Rou Jia, she is afraid that she will be dragged down by Kang Tai, and she has no time to think about other things, Qi Xiao smiled lightly: "When did I lie to you? It must be fine."

Bai Ren felt better, paused for a moment and said apologetically: "I sent someone to pick up Roujia, and I'm going to make a small appointment soon, and it's not good to always be in the princess mansion. I... I will go back in a while, let her I don't feel at ease in the mansion."

Qi Xiao sighed softly: "If you don't worry about her, you can worry about me?"

Bai Ren couldn't help laughing: "It's a good thing if you don't bully others, do I still have to worry about you being bullied? Wait... I'll come back after Xiaoding, okay?" Qi Xiao still smiled Looking at Bai Ren, Bai Ren couldn't help it, so he leaned closer and kissed Qi Xiao's lips, and said in a low voice, "I'll be back soon."

Qi Xiao raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You said it yourself...Jiang Deqing, ask Shunzi to prepare the chariot and horses, and then wrap the golden unicorn's nutcracker for Shizi, and take them back together."

In Fenghua Palace, the emperor retreated from the crowd, and heaved a long sigh: "Queen...are you forcing Kangtai, or are you forcing me?"

Empress Feng's face turned pale, she managed to calm her mind, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty... the rumors outside are really not released by the concubine. The concubine is bored in the palace every day, and she likes Kangtai too much, so I let her Entering the palace to enjoy the flowers and accompany the concubine, I don't want to catch up with Hua'er to greet the concubine, this... It's just a coincidence, I don't know which short-lived person spread that kind of words, the concubine is already investigating, Waiting for my concubine..."

"Empress." The emperor frowned impatiently listening to Empress Feng's rambling words, "I didn't bring anyone here today, and let your people go down, just want to hear a few truths from you..."

Empress Feng laughed wryly: "To be honest... I am afraid that the emperor will not believe what the concubine says now?"

Empress Feng has aged a lot since she became a court lady, her former glory is gone, and her eyes are only gloomy. The emperor can't bear to see her getting a wife like this, but when she thinks of what she has done, she really gets angry Difficult to get over, the emperor closed his eyes: "Then you said... the meeting between Kangtai and Qi Hua in your palace, wasn't it arranged by you?"

Empress Feng froze, nodded helplessly, and the emperor said again: "You want to give Kangtai to Qi Hua, you planned it a long time ago, right?"

Empress Feng's tears flowed down the line, and she nodded again. The emperor laughed: "You are afraid that I will not agree, so you deliberately released this rumor and used Kangtai's reputation to force the Lingnan Palace to agree to this marriage. In order to save everyone's face, I naturally You have to nod too, don't you?"

"No!" Empress Feng suddenly opened her eyes wide, and said sharply, "The rumors were not released by the concubine! It is simply that someone is harming the concubine, it is... that bitch Xue Guifei, she can't see the concubine returning to favor... Otherwise, it's Kangtai! Looking at the situation that day, she herself is willing, yes! It must be them..."

The old feelings that had arisen in the emperor's heart just now were shattered by Empress Feng's scream. The emperor waved his hand tiredly and said, "I didn't come here today to inquire about my crimes. I originally wanted to... that's all, it's useless to talk more."

The emperor got up, looked at Empress Feng sympathetically, and said in a low voice: "I think that I have tolerated you a lot in terms of my relationship with you for many years, and I don't want you to get worse and become more unseemly. Hua's marriage is well known in my heart, Kangtai is not a good match, you should rest your mind." Fearing that Empress Feng would continue to pester her, the emperor frowned and left first.

Empress Feng stared blankly at the emperor walking away, unable to recover for a while. When the rumors first came out, she was actually a little bit secretly happy. She only thought that this was forcing Kangtai to the Liangshan Mountain. I don't want the emperor to be so cruel, completely disregarding his face, and showing no affection at all.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?" Empress Feng's personal maid struggled to help Empress Feng up, and persuaded her bitterly, "Young Majesty, don't be sad. When the Emperor's anger subsides in the future, it will be good for your Majesty to separate from the Emperor..."

Empress Feng smiled wryly: "It's useless, now...it's a complete failure..."

In the study room in the Prince's Mansion, Qi Xiao carefully played with the jade pendant in his hand, and said with a soft smile, "Did she really say that?"

Jiang Deqing nodded: "Without waiting for the emperor to speak, she scolded Concubine Xue Guifei first, she must have said that it was Concubine Xue Guifei who harmed her, or Princess Kangtai himself spread the word, the emperor was too lazy to say anything more at that time gone."

Qi Xiao lightly twiddled the runes on the jade pendant, and smiled faintly: "This matter... is a personal one, so Empress Feng has to be suspicious. Her constant sophistry will only make the emperor hate her more... stupid."

Jiang Deqing smiled: "Yeah, who would have thought that His Highness would actually spread the words, so that Queen Feng could not be turned over again, and also ruined the reputation of Princess Kangtai, and avenged the son, killing two birds with one stone, Your Highness has a good plan."

Qi Xiao glanced at Jiang Deqing reproachfully, Jiang Deqing knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly slapped himself, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty hasn't been here for two days, so I don't have to be wary, and it's fine... Your Highness also It's not intentional to bring down the reputation of Princess Roujia, it's just a last resort to punish those people."

Qi Xiao sneered: "I have no other choice, if it's not for Bai Ren, Rou Jia's life and death have nothing to do with me... Be careful, if Bai Ren finds out, what you did before is useless."

Jiang Deqing nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Your Highness."

Qi Xiao looked at Shilou, frowned, and said, "It's already late, why haven't people come? It's just a small deal, it takes a lot of effort?"

"It's really no wonder, my son." Jiang Deqing smiled, "I don't know if your highness didn't go. I heard from the servants who went to the palace to give gifts that the Lingnan palace is very lively today. After a small appointment, I went to those people, my son. Outside, the eldest princess was inside, and the two of them couldn't get along well. He Xi's people kept coming and going, so He Zichen was really willing to do so. Xiao Dingli set up half of the yard. I heard from the servants of He's mansion...their wife and the young master said Now, the more ugly words are spread outside, the more they will respect the princess, from this point of view...the He family understands people."

Qi Xiao nodded, looked outside again and said: "Let the cook prepare some food first, he must be hungry after a busy day."

Jiang Deqing agreed: "The order will go on. On that day, the son accidentally said that he wanted to eat wontons, and the old slave asked the dining room to prepare them. The chicken soup for cooking wontons was simmering at noon. The young hens that had just laid eggs, mixed Stewed with ginseng and astragalus for more than two hours, it is fragrant and nourishing, and I will use this soup to cook wontons without adding other ingredients, the prince will definitely like it."

Just as he was talking, the heir from outside came, Qi Xiao smiled: "I'm a little hungry after talking about it, go and let them prepare it."
