There are bandits and gentlemen, don't be ashamed

Seeing Xie Xuanwei's arrival, Old Hou Ye held his hand, refused to let him salute, and let him sit beside him.He smiled and said, "How are you doing recently?"

"It's much better, I want to ask my father about something today." Xie Xuanwei ordered someone to move the little table and put it on the couch, then unfolded the paper, grinded the ink, handed the pen to the old Hou Ye, and said with a smile: "I also ask my father for advice. "

Old Hou Ye took the pen and asked with a smile, "What are you going to do again, Popi?"

Xie Xuanwei said solemnly: "Since I want to marry the prince, I must understand the current situation in the court, and know what is the worry and joy of my in-law's family."

Knowing that he had something important to do, the old master sent his servants to leave. Hearing what he said, he laughed, and tapped Xie Xuanwei's forehead with a brush, gritted his teeth and said, "Shame? Not afraid of being laughed at."

Xie Xuanwei thought to himself that I have nothing to be shy about. If I really marry, I'm afraid that the crown prince will be shy and open-minded.

Old Hou Ye pondered for a moment, picked up a pen and drew a diagram of the relationship between the court and the hall on the paper, and said: "I understand your thoughts, I just tell you what is important!" After speaking, circle the picture of King Annan He said to Xie Xuanwei: "Wang Annan Jingting is a famous god of war in Daqi. He is 35 years old this year and has no heirs. The one who has been appointed is Princess Jieyou, who will be married in October next year. King Annan is brave and good at fighting, and his appearance is extraordinary." He is the only prince with a different surname in Daqi. He has a hundred thousand elite soldiers in his hands, and each of them is one against a hundred. His meritorious deeds are all real."

Xie Xuan frowned slightly, and said: "But the master is so accomplished, I'm afraid it won't end well."

The old Hou Ye nodded, and sighed: "It is said that fame and fortune are good, but if you get it, if you have no blessings, it is just a reminder for yourself." The old Hou Ye looked at Xie Xuanwei, and said with a smile: " Do you know why His Majesty chose you to be the Crown Princess?"

Xie Xuan shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know."

The old Hou Ye said: "You were chosen by the Crown Prince. Your Majesty promised the former Empress that no matter how many people will be in the Crown Prince's uterus in the future, the main wife must be the Prince's true favorite, regardless of family background, talent, appearance, or character." Looking at Xie Xuanwei's face, he said with a smile: "Fortunately, you are a good boy, and His Majesty is also very satisfied."

Xie Xuanwei held the old master's hand, only feeling that his hand was trembling slightly.It was clear in his heart that if he was a person with no virtue or talent, or if he was the daughter of a vassal king, the emperor would definitely try to get rid of him.

The old Lord Hou smiled wryly and said: "When your big brother's position is taken back by the court, the Xie family will really become a broken household. Without the support of your natal family, I'm afraid you..."

Xie Xuanwei took the hand of the old Marquis and said with a smile: "But without a prominent family, His Majesty will not be afraid. Mengmeng doesn't ask for anything, but only asks for the safety of the family. Besides, with my ability, Bao is enough. It’s just that I don’t understand, I seldom go out on weekdays, how does the prince know about me?”

The old Hou said: "You don't know, the poem you gave to Miss Wen was spread outside, and it happened to let the prince get it, and the prince cherishes your talent. Last time you went to Wenfu to do a poetry club, the prince happened to be there. I wanted to introduce my daughter to the prince, but the prince saw you. The prince said, you are quick-witted and dignified. When you go back, you tell the emperor. The emperor secretly sent someone to inquire for a long time. I came to see you on your birthday, and I think it is very good , I’ll make a decision when I go back. Let’s forget about this, Dad will continue to tell you.”

Old Hou Ye circled the name of Qiansui Gaoyuelou again, and told Xie Xuanwei about him in detail, "This Qiansui's elder sister is the first queen, and he has been with His Majesty since childhood. Qiansui Lord is full of talent, intelligence and courage, Accompanying His Majesty from the unfavored prince to the prince, from scratch. His Majesty first became a great treasure, and was constrained by the family. It was he who joined forces with Prince Annan to abolish the power of the family. He also made a new law that the family can only be hereditary for three generations, and The nobles were cut down from generation to generation, and those who were officials were not allowed to exceed fifteen years. After retirement, the imperial court would give them a salary according to their personal merits. Later, his sister entered the palace as a queen, and the Gao family hid the abolished prince, intending to rebel, so His Majesty bestowed death on the Gao family. In order to keep him, His Majesty eunuched him. Before long, he escorted Princess Gaoyang to get married, and guarded the frontier with General Tao for another year. The frontier was safe and secure, and no one dared to offend. His Majesty named him Qiansui, and summoned him several times. When he returned to Beijing, he refused. The eunuchs in ancient times have such talents, he is the only one." The old Hou Ye analyzed the influence of several courtiers in detail to Xie Xuanwei.

After Xie Xuanwei finished listening, he put away the paper, bid farewell to Lord Hou, and walked back alone.

As soon as she reached the entrance of the yard, she saw Xuezhan hovering at the door, and when she saw him coming, she quickly took his hand and said in a low voice, "Miss Wen is here."

Xie Xuan smiled and said: "Come here, why are you so panicked?"

Xuezhan shook her head and said nothing, pulling him into the room nervously.As soon as Xie Xuanwei entered the door, he saw Wen Yeliang sitting in front of his desk with a sad face, and said with a smile: "What's the matter with you, but the homework assigned by Mr. is difficult?"

Wen Yeliang stood up, with tears in his eyes, Xuezhan served tea, then retreated and closed the door, and stood guard at the door.

Xie Xuanwei took the handkerchief and wiped away her tears, but Wen Yeliang cried: "I asked you that day if you would marry into my family, but you refused. Is it because you knew you were going to be a princess?"

Xie Xuanwei asked her to sit down, wiped her tears, and said in a gentle voice: "I didn't know about it. I refused at the time because I was afraid that people would find out and ruin your brother's reputation."

Wen Yeliang asked: "My brother has nothing to do with you, why do you think about him everywhere?"

Xie Xuanwei said: "I had selfish intentions before and wanted to leave Xie's mansion. Your brother is my best choice. But on the way to Wen's mansion, thinking of everything in the past, I felt that I was even more despicable, so I accepted this intention. Now the imperial decree It has been made, and nothing can be turned back. And since I decided not to provoke him again, even if there is no imperial decree, for his future, I will never have any wrong intentions."

Xie Xuanwei was talking, but was hugged by a servant girl from behind, and he was taken aback, but he couldn't break away.Xie Xuanwei didn't like to be close to people, so when he was hugged like this, his scalp went numb, looking at Wen Yeliang, he said angrily, "What's the meaning of this?"

Wen Yeliang was also shocked, rushed forward and pulled the man away, crying softly: "Brother, don't do this."

Xie Xuanwei took the opportunity to get away, he looked carefully, and recognized that the maid was actually Wen Shengqing who was disguised as a woman, he was shocked immediately, and said in a low voice: "You two are dying?"

With tears in his eyes, Wen Shengqing held Xie Xuanwei's hand, gritted his teeth and cried, "I originally wanted to ask my mother to come to your house to propose marriage in two days. , I don't know how to say it, I can only quietly watch Xie Xuan weep slightly.

Xie Xuanwei was moved in his heart, pulled out his hand, turned around, and forced a smile to Wen Yeliang: "Take your brother back to the house quickly, everything you say now is useless, and we will be safe in the future." He opened the door by himself, and a gust of wind blew in, making his clothes flutter like a fairy.

Wen Shengqing took a step forward, stared at Xie Xuanwei's back, opened his mouth, tears fell quickly and quickly, and his heart ached unbearably.

Xie Xuanwei stood at the door and called Xuezhan, "The book that Miss Wen wants to borrow, come and find it for her." He looked back at Wen Shengqing, his eyes were clear, without any personal affection.Xie Xuan nodded slightly to say goodbye to him, smiled slightly, and left.

Wen Shengqing only felt that his heart was broken at that glance, and he wanted to catch up, but he was afraid that he would be recognized by others, so he had to watch him go.

Xuezhan entered the study room, bowed to Wen Shengqing, and casually took a few books that Xie Xuanwei often read from the bookshelf to Wen Yeliang. "Miss Wen, please go here." After speaking, he put the ring in her hand, and said with a smile: "Miss, you can take it."

Seeing that she returned the ring, Wen Shengqing couldn't help feeling sad, holding back tears and choking softly, said: "You can rest assured your girl, this thing has never been seen by ordinary people, it will be fine, you should keep it in your mind!"

Wen Yeliang put the ring into Xuezhan's hand again, Wen Shengqing hugged the book, bowed his head and hurried away.

Xuezhan gave the ring to Xie Xuanwei at night, and thinking of Wen Shengqing crying miserably during the day, she couldn't help but feel distressed and said: "When Mr. Wen came, he really scared me to death. I didn't say a word. When I entered your study, I whispered Sobbing, it is said that men do not shed tears lightly, I am afraid that he is very sad this time, it is really touching."

Xie Xuanwei took the ring and didn't speak, took out the handkerchief they returned, and burned it with the lamp. "I won't mention today's matter in the future. He is not in a hurry to ask for trouble. He is a good man, and it will be fine if he gets married in the future."

Xuezhan sighed, and she also noticed that Xie Xuanwei seemed a little unbearable.Then he put the ring away carefully, and then waited for Xie Xuanwei to sleep, and went to sleep outside the screen window himself.

Since then, Xie Xuanwei has been reading or writing every day. He doesn't even touch the piano very much, let alone go out to meet friends.

Time flies, it is the Dragon Boat Festival, and Xie Yuzhang returns home from the military camp.Mrs. Li and Lord Xie were waiting at the second gate early, and when they saw him say that he was tanned, they touched and hugged him, and their heart ached.

Xie Houye is very satisfied with him now, with a smile on his face, he said: "It's better for the boy to be darker."

Mrs. Li looked around, nodded and said: "Although it is dark, but it has grown a lot and is much stronger."

Xie Yuzhang laughed and thought of Xie Xuanwei again, so he asked: "I heard from the instructor in the camp that Miss Xie's family has become a princess, do you mean aunt?" Mrs. Li nodded, and Xie Yuzhang said again: "Is aunt at home? I'll go and play with her later."

Mrs. Li smiled and slapped him, "Your aunt is an elegant person, you are like a little ruffian, don't scare her." Then she went to straighten Xie Yuzhang's clothes, "You dusty person, wait I will change my clothes and go see your aunt again."

Xie Yuzhang hurriedly agreed and ran away.

Li Shi shouted from behind, telling him to be careful not to fall.

Xie Houye took her hand and said with a smile: "Madam may not have gone out for a long time, there is a dragon boat today, why don't you go and see it?"

Mrs. Li is not used to such intimacy outside, she blushed in shame, and said angrily: "Master Hou is joking, I am a woman, how can I go out to watch the dragon boat?"

Lord Xie leaned next to her ear, and whispered a few words, Li Shi's eyes sparkled, but he shook his head again.Xie Houye hurriedly took her hand and took her back to the room.Not long after, Lord Xie led a white-skinned and green-clothed staffer out of the gate of the waiting mansion, it was Li Shi who was disguised as a man.
