Chapter 537: He Li
Lu Yan drank a cup of tea and asked, "Who brought it here?"
Eunuch Mi Tuan mourned for Du Yuan in his heart, and had to say truthfully, "The words returned to the governor were sent by Miss Xuantao."
Lu Yan smiled. In the past, the Xie family came and went to and from the Lu residence were Du Yuan and Du Yun. Since he detained Du Yuan and sisters in Yunshanju last time, Xie Zhiwei would not arrange for Du Yuan and sisters whenever there was anything. It is to guard against him!
Xie Zhiwei had an accident in the palace. After all, he was still to blame. It was not that he had no other candidates, but he didn't think carefully, and let the two little girls follow her, which almost turned into a big mistake in the end.
Lu Yan closed his eyes, feeling terrified, "Where is Dou Xiuniang?"
Eunuch Mi Tuan hurriedly said, "I should be able to enter Beijing tomorrow, and my slave will arrange for Dou Xiuniang to enter Xie's Mansion."
Two days later, at the time of Xiumu, Xie Mingxi came to Fuyun Courtyard early in the morning to knock on the door. Yuan Shi was woken up and asked, "Who is it so early in the morning?"
Last night, Fuyun Court asked for water twice, and Yuan Shi was so tired that she didn't even have the strength to breathe. She knew it was dawn and couldn't get up, so she was a little impatient.
Xie Yuanbai heard the sound from outside and knew that it was his son. He got up, got dressed, washed himself, and went out. Seeing that the little guy had already come in, he looked at the sky, saw that it was five o'clock, and asked , "What are you doing up so early?"
"Responding to what my father said, my sister said that studying and practicing martial arts should be seized. My son has already punched, squatted, and memorized a book before he came here. Father, are you and mother sleeping late?"
Ms. Yuan covered her face and couldn't sleep at all. When she got up, she complained to the maid who served her, "I really raised a debt collector!"
Xie Zhi got up at Weichen, and Xie Mingxi was waiting for her again. After breakfast, the siblings came to Princess Dagon's mansion in a carriage. Zheng Jingshuang personally came to pick her up at the second gate, and said, "Mother is waiting for you in the upper room, Taiping The eldest princess is here, and my mother asked me to tell you that what the eldest princess Taiping wants to tell you has nothing to do with my mother, she just wants to invite you to play."
Xie Zhiwei knew what was going on, she smiled, and took her younger brother to the room to greet the two princesses. This was the first time she saw Princess Taiping, a royal princess who had been suppressed by her son-in-law all her life and could not hold her head up. , wearing a fragrant-colored satin embroidered plum-blossom bat golden group longevity pattern, and a golden hairpin with a phoenix bird and a parrot cage on his head. His face looks a bit old, but his eyes are radiant and majestic.
Princess Dagon was sitting at the bottom. She was wearing a green tapestry and plum pattern inlaid mink velvet clip, and she was wearing the eight-treasure golden phoenix hairpin on her head. When she saw Xie Zhiwei and her brother coming in, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Come here, I'm here!" I said I invited you to play a long time ago, but I have never had a chance, this is your brother? He was born really well, siblings came out of the same mold."
Princess Dagon said that she asked someone to bring up a meeting gift for the siblings, a pair of large and small fish-shaped jade pendants, high-quality mutton fat white jade, the large one carved into a group of fish and lotus, and the small one The first one is the pattern of dragon head and fish body, which has a very good meaning. The jade is of high quality and the carving is extraordinary.
The siblings thanked each other, and Princess Taiping removed a jade hairpin from her head as a meeting gift for Xie Zhiwei, tore off a jade pei from her body, and sent Xie Mingxi away.
Princess Dagon glanced at her, with imperceptible contempt in her eyes. Seeing that Xie Mingxi was a bit reserved, she asked someone to call Zheng Jingyan, and said to Xie Mingxi, "You follow your brother Jingyan to ride a horse. Your brother Jingyan is very good at riding and shooting. Yes, let him take you to play, let your sister talk with us."
When Xie Mingxi heard this, he was overjoyed, and said to Princess Dagon, "Your Highness, the minister came today and brought Feidian, I will compete with brother Jingyan, if he wins me, I will show him Learn, the master who taught me is the king of Chenjun, he is very capable!"
Princess Dagon was amused by him and burst into tears, "Oh, you little devil, I haven't seen such a fun child in many years."
Princess Taiping disapproved, sneered, and didn't say much.
Xie Mingxi followed Zheng Jingyan and left, walked into the yard, and was still listening to him say, "Brother Jingyan, why didn't you go to Xijiang? The king of Chenjun has gone to Xijiang, and I will go to Xijiang when I grow up."
Princess Dagon stood up, and said to Xie Zhiwei, "Princess Duanxian, you can stay here for lunch today, I will go to change clothes first, and let the eldest princess have a few words with you."
Xie Zhiwei hurriedly got up and said, "Yes, princess please go ahead!"
In the room, only the eldest princess and her nanny were left, as well as Xie Zhiwei and sisters Du Yuan. The eldest princess glanced at Du Yuan and the two with dissatisfaction. Xie Zhiwei pretended not to see it, and said, "I don't know what orders the Eldest Princess has? Duan Xian, these two maids, are very well-behaved. Duan Xian once brought them into the palace, and they never left her side."
Princess Taiping took a deep breath, endured it, and when she calmed down, she said, "Princess Duanxian, you are now the daughter-in-law of the royal family. Since ancient times, when it comes to marriage, people in the world have talked about persuasion and not persuasion." , about the marriage between your eldest cousin and my grandson, I thought you would try to persuade me to make peace."
Xie Zhiwei picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Princess Eldest Princess, my eldest cousin is physically damaged, and may never have children in this life. This is all thanks to Mrs. Shizi. There is such a mother-in-law. Who would be willing to send their daughter there to be ruined? Eldest princess, to make an inappropriate analogy, if in the future, Sister Qinghan does the same, I wonder what the eldest princess will think as a great-grandmother?"
"They are all raised by their biological parents. Duan Xian is here to plead for the eldest cousin's life, and also ask the eldest princess to see that my eldest cousin has shown filial piety in the past three years. For Cheng Huan's sake, let my eldest cousin live!"
After Duan Xian finished speaking, he stood up and bowed deeply to the Eldest Princess!
Even though she knew she was unreasonable, the eldest princess was still furious at being so persecuted by a little girl from Duanxian. She didn't pay attention, but took a sip of tea to calm her anger, "Dayong has never You are also a person who has read a lot of poetry and books, and you must know it too!"
Xie Zhiwei raised his eyelids and said, "Princess Dachang, the Cui family and the Xie family are not rich and powerful, if life is not going on, even ordinary people would not be willing to sell their sons and daughters, let alone the Cui family and the Xie family. .”
Seeing Princess Taiping's angry face, Xie Zhiwei didn't care, "If it weren't for Duanxian's extraordinary medical skills, the life of the eldest cousin would have been lost to the Hou's mansion long ago. Speaking of which, the empress had overdone the marriage back then. Who would have expected that it would end like this. Before Duan Xian went to the palace, the empress asked about this, Duan Xian also told the truth, the empress sighed, and said that she would see her eldest cousin someday."
See you in the future, let’s talk about it, Xie Zhiwei put the words here, but Princess Taiping couldn’t help but think about it.
