Chapter 13 The Beginning of All Sounds (2)
That night, Xie Changyan and Princess Huiwei met Wan Yulin. The princess planned his horse, but Xie Changyan did not fight for it. The news of the peerless BMW Shiyin changing hands spread throughout Yujing.
At the same time, there is also the Xie family motto - learning art to cultivate oneself, you can only travel but not benefit.
Xie Changyan sat under the lamp and took apart the monk's bell-knocking arrangement.
Zheng sat behind her and tucked her freshly washed hair. "I always feel that your actions today are inappropriate."
“Why?”
"Although Princess Huiwei is arrogant, she is straightforward and not a bad person. You could have gotten along with her in a better way. Since you are willing to give up that BMW, you should change to a friend instead of an enemy."
Xie Changyan carefully disassembled the clock mechanism and said lightly: "I am impatient to be friends with her."
Zheng choked.
"She knew that I was the future queen, but when she opened her mouth, she wanted to compete with me. She dared to ask for the BMW that Your Majesty gave me. Such people are used to being arrogant and wanting to get along well with her. They can only coax her and offer her to her like the group of wastes that followed her." Xie Changyan smiled coldly, "If I have that thought, it will be used on Your Majesty. She is not qualified."
Zheng sighed.
"And, if she meets her competition today, she will lose face and win without any good. At that time, all the cats and dogs will come to challenge me. Can I keep winning? As long as I lose one game, I will be criticized. It would be better to show from the beginning that I will not accept any competition and cut off those people's little thoughts."
Zheng nodded: "It's true. However, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will be unhappy about it."
"The person who was worried should be Princess Huiwei, not me. My mother thought that when Princess Huiwei saw him, the first sentence said: 'Is this the young master Bu Jingsheng, the emperor's brother, who is the young master? It's considered to be a person who is willing to see him.' In other words, she has heard of the young master's name for a long time, but she has never seen him. Why?" Xie Changyan said this and raised his lips and smiled, "Because she is not worthy."
"Kneel down." In the tall and beautiful princess's mansion, the beautiful woman in her forties looked stern.
Princess Huiwei's expression changed. Just as she was about to speak, Fang Wan beside her had already kneeled down.
Princess Huiwei was anxious: "Mom!"
"You are so brave that you dare to bully the future mother of the country."
"We didn't bully her. My daughter just wanted to compete with her in riding skills, but she gave the horse to her daughter without saying a word..."
The eldest princess smiled coldly, and Princess Huiwei's voice became weaker.
"Come, send the horse back to the palace."
"Mom!" Princess Huiwei's eyes suddenly turned red, "If you think your daughter is rude to Miss Xie, I will go and apologize to her. But Ma must not pay it back..."
"You haven't figured out the consequences yet." The eldest princess stood up from the couch and walked slowly to Princess Huiwei, her eyes full of worry, "You have been coveting that horse for a long time. I asked Your Majesty for asking for it before. Since Your Majesty did not agree, it was clear that he refused to give it to you."
"But Miss Xie gave it to me..." Princess Huiwei bit her lip, her face full of reluctance.
"Today you want a BMW and snatch it from Xie Changyan's hands; in the future you want the position of queen, are you thinking about taking it?"
Princess Huiwei was stunned: "Emperor, Empress? How could my daughter want the emperor? The position of Empress..."
"If you don't want it, it doesn't mean others don't want it..." The eldest princess said, turning her gaze to Fang Wan, who was kneeling on the ground, "it doesn't mean others won't find a way to ask for it through you."
Princess Huiwei looked confused.
"Anyway, send the horse back. Those who are about to leave the house should embroider dowry at home."
"Mom..." Princess Huiwei was still waiting to speak, but saw that the eldest princess' face suddenly sank. She immediately did not dare to say more. When she turned around and was about to pull Fang Wan to leave, the eldest princess said again: "Fang Wan stayed to speak."
Princess Huiwei had no choice but to leave first.
Fang Wan knelt on the spot, never raising her head from beginning to end.
The eldest princess stared at her: "You have been in my house for three years?"
"yes."
"Your parents died back then, and I pity your orphan, a helpless girl, so I took you in and let you live with Huiwei."
"Fang Wan always remembers the great kindness of the eldest princess."
The eldest princess laughed sarcastically. Fang Wan shook.
"In recent years, you have seemed obedient to Huiwei, but you have coaxed her to obey you. Although I know it, I am not at ease. With Huiwei's identity, it's not harmful to be arrogant. But you shouldn't instigate her to provoke Xie Changyan."
Fang Wan's whole body trembled: "Fang Wan... no, don't dare."
The eldest princess smiled: "You dare to take a fancy to Your Majesty, what else can you dare not?"
Fang Wan gasped, raised her head, her face turned pale.
The eldest princess looked at her and sighed: "A woman, young, beautiful, and smart, will inevitably be very arrogant. Since you have this heart, I can help you."
Fang Wan couldn't believe it: "Really?"
“But not now.”
The light in Fang Wan's eyes dimmed.
"Do you want to ask why?"
Fang Wan: "The niece dares not, but you can decide everything by Your Highness."
"There are three reasons. First, Huiwei is about to get married. I don't want any accidents to happen before she goes out, which will delay her good marriage."
Fang Wan lowered her head to cover the complex envy in her eyes.
"Secondly, there are political reasons for Your Majesty to marry the daughter of the Xie family. If you want to take Xie Changyan and replace him, it is impossible at this stage, so you can only wait."
Fang Wan said in confusion: "It is said that the Supreme Emperor chose the daughter of the Xie family for His Majesty as his queen in order to suppress the aristocratic family. Now that the two parties have been eliminated, why should they marry the daughter of the Xie family?"
"Although Pang Yue was destroyed, there were also the five clans of Li, Fan, Cheng, Yuan and Shang. There were so many official positions in the court, and they were all eyeing them. His Majesty just held the imperial examination last year, but he couldn't fill it."
Fang Wan suddenly realized: "Two years later, it will be the imperial examination again."
"Selecting talented men from poor families to the court to serve as officials and choosing to marry Qingliu orphans as queens are all means of His Majesty's transformation." When the eldest princess said this, she looked at Fang Wan and smiled, "So, it is a good thing to be humble from a background. You have a chance, too."
Fang Wan's eyes flashed a few times and bit her lips: "So, what is the third reason?"
"Third..." The eldest princess walked to the jade table, with a sword on it. The scabbard looked very old, and most of the wrapped silk on it was broken. The eldest princess reached out to touch the sword, but it seemed to be stroking the former lover, with her eyes full of nostalgia.
"I have to wait for someone to come back."
Xie Changyan dismantled the bell in the middle of the night and slept late, so he couldn't get up in the morning. While he was sleeping with Zheng, he vaguely heard the sound of a horse outside.
She pricked her ears: "Mom, have you heard anything?"
"I heard you stay in bed, get up!" Zheng took a feather and scratched her neck.
Xie Changyan giggled and distracted and listened to the movements outside, and finally confirmed: "It's really a horse's shout!"
She immediately became energetic and jumped out of bed, ran out without even having to wear shoes. Zheng was so anxious that she chased her with her clothes and shoes behind: "Stop! It's cold barefoot!"
Xie Changyan opened the door and saw Shi Yu standing in the yard.
The bright sunshine shines on its date brown hair, reflecting a brocade-like light.
It was burying its head in a man's hands, licking the candy in that man's hand. The man was wearing black clothes and standing next to it, but it was more eye-catching than a famous horse.
Xie Changyan was stunned: "Senior Brother..."
The man in black looked around, his black eyes shining and his majestic spirit, which was Feng Xiaoya.
"Just like this, he is the first sick young man in Dayan..." Xie Changyan muttered in his heart, then ran towards the horse with a smile, "Just drink Shi Yan, you are back!"
Feng Xiaoya's gaze fell on her bare feet, her eyes flashed, and then she turned sideways and stopped looking.
At this time, Zheng chased after him, Xie Changyan said, "Mom, look, I'm right? Not everyone can take away the horse given by His Majesty."
"I know, I know, you wear your shoes quickly! It's so rude!" Zheng put the shoes on his daughter, then bowed to Feng Xiaoya, "I've seen Mr. He."
Feng Xiaoya nodded casually, and then seemed to think of something, and then turned her body forward and respectfully bowed to Zheng: "I've seen my wife."
Xie Changyan put on his shoes and said happily: "Senior Brother, you are here just in time. I have already thought about what questions you have."
Zheng quickly pushed her: "I'll ask later, go and wash!"
"Oh. The senior brother goes to the study first, I'll come later." Xie Changyan turned around and trotted away.
Feng Xiaoya looked at her back, as if she wanted to laugh, but when she saw Zheng, she restrained her expression: "Well, let's go to the study first, and the lady will say goodbye."
"Hong Kong stayed there."
Feng Xiaoya was a little surprised and stopped to look at Zheng.
Zheng's expression was complicated, and hesitated for a moment before he said softly: "Chang Yan lacked his father's teaching since he was a child, and I am another ignorant woman, so I have less control over her."
Feng Xiaoya waited quietly.
Zheng thought about it again: "Your Majesty hired Duke He as his teacher, which is indeed a blessing for Yan. Chang Yan was stupid and lost his boudoir etiquette. He also asked Duke He to treat him with the mercy of the previous king and the etiquette of the teacher."
Feng Xiaoya was silent.
Zheng snatched his fingers and plucked up the courage to look directly at Feng Xiaoya: "Hong Hegong exiled to the immortals and heavenly beings, and many admirers should know my wish."
Feng Xiaoya smiled gently.
When Zheng felt cold, he saw him raise his eyebrows and said slowly: "Don't worry, Madam. I still have rumors when I see Nan Zi; there must be rumors between me and Ling Ai. Madam knows Changyan, just as Your Majesty knows me."
After saying that, Feng Xiaoya turned around and left. Zheng stayed there, staring at him blankly, thinking about something.
Xie Changyan poked his head out of the window and said, "Mom, what did you say to your senior brother? Why did he laugh at?"
"I see Nan Zi..." Zheng's voice seemed to sigh.
"I see Nan Zi? Confucius? What's wrong with Nan Zi?" Xie Changyan was curious. The maid behind her who was combing her hair with one hand and holding the comb with the other hand, and sweat came out: "Miss, stop moving, your head hasn't been combed yet."
