168. What is a powerful official if he shows his power?(1/3)
The flower hall, which was not big in the first place, seemed to become extra cramped and narrow because of the sudden addition of one person.
Prince Mu's concubine, who was originally eloquent and dancing as if she were the mistress of Prince Mu's palace, suddenly fell silent as if someone had pinched her neck.
She even quietly moved away from King Mu, lowering her head and trying her best to reduce her sense of presence.
This is Xie Yan's daily life in Prince Mu's Mansion.
When Xie Yan was young, his father didn't like his mother, but she didn't live well in Prince Mu's Mansion. It wasn't until Emperor Gaozu and the Queen Mother couldn't stand it anymore that they brought him into the palace to raise him. Since then, Xie Yan has not been in Prince Mu's Mansion.
Lived there.
King Mu himself didn't know when his son, whom he disliked, began to dominate him in terms of momentum.
Not only him, there is no one in the entire Prince Mu's palace who is not afraid of Xie Yan.
In the early years, when Xie Yan was still a bit young and vigorous, except for Prince Mu and him, who were at peace with each other, Xie Heng, the eldest brother, saw him like a mouse seeing a cat.
In the past, King Mu still resented his brother and sister-in-law in his heart. If they had not supported Xie Yan, how could he be so suppressed by his son that he could not hold his head up?
However, Emperor Gaozu passed away and the late emperor passed away, but he still couldn't stand up in front of Xie Yan.
Except for Princess Mu, he has no way to influence Xie Yan. And now, Princess Mu doesn't seem to be very effective.
Xie Yan, who was in his teens and twenties, still cared a little about his mother and family relationships, but Xie Yan, who was thirty years old, obviously no longer cared about these things.
Xie Yan strolled into the flower hall and his eyes fell calmly on Xie Heng.
Xie Heng's eyes were twitching wildly, and his hand on the armrest was tightly grasped, obviously filled with anger.
However, the two looked at each other for a moment, but Xie Heng did not have an attack. Instead, he stood up as if he was frustrated, "Third brother, sit down."
His words were also somewhat sarcastic. Only the younger brother would give up his seat to his elder brother. How could an elder brother give up his seat to his younger brother?
However, Xie Yan didn't seem to hear it and sat down directly in that position.
Xie Heng's face looked even more grim.
Xie Heng had already stood up. Naturally, his wife could not continue to sit next to Xie Yan, so she had to stand up and move her seat with Xie Heng.
"Father." Xie Chengyou stepped forward to salute with some trepidation.
Xie Yan ignored him and looked directly at King Mu and Princess Mu, "What does your father want your mother to say to me?"
King Mu's face was ashen, and Princess Mu was a little frightened. She quickly whispered: "Zhifei, don't talk to your father like that."
Xie Yan glanced at Princess Mu lightly. Princess Mu was startled and immediately wanted to shut up.
At this time, King Mu suddenly coughed slightly, and Princess Mu stiffened, then she remembered what she had promised.
Princess Mu looked at her husband and son with some embarrassment, and said softly: "Zhifei, do you really want to marry a girl from the Luo family to be your princess?"
Xie Yan's mood improved a bit when he mentioned this matter. Even his eyes lost the indifference before. He nodded and said, "Not bad."
Princess Mu clutched the handkerchief and said: "That girl...isn't that girl not suitable? I, I remember that the girl is only sixteen years old, her age...isn't she..."
Xie Yan looked at his mother, her stunning face turned pale, and it was obvious that what she wanted to say at this time was very difficult for her.
It seems that his mother, who has always had a bad memory, remembered her last statement. Otherwise, she would never have spoken to him in such a tactful way today, and would have only asked him directly not to marry a girl from the Luo family.
"Can I still marry a girl of my age?" Xie Yan asked.
These days, unmarried girls in their twenties are treated as a rare species by others. Most of the ladies from famous families in Shangyong will get married before they turn eighteen.
So, how big is the difference between seventeen and sixteen? Taking this as an example, it can be seen that there is nothing to say.
King Mu also felt uncomfortable for a moment. Why didn't Xie Yan marry a princess for so many years? Although Xie Yan had his own reasons, he also played a lot of role in it.
Princess Mu didn't know that what she said was very incompetent, but since that day, she intuitively didn't dare to ask Xie Yan as naturally as before.
She could feel that her son's attitude towards her had completely changed after he came back this time, and he no longer cared about her as he did before.
At this time, Princess Mu suddenly realized that if Xie Yan didn't care about her anymore, she actually had nothing to do and nothing else to rely on.
As a result, the attitude will naturally change.
It is human nature to assess the situation.
Princess Mu said cautiously, "But... didn't that girl like Xuan Yu before? If you marry her, others will say you are idle..."
Click.
Before Princess Mu finished speaking, the teacup that originally belonged to Xie Heng suddenly fell into pieces when she placed it on the table next to Xie Yan.
The tea overflowed from the cup, flowed across the table, and dropped to the ground.
Princess Mu exclaimed in fright, and quickly reached out to cover her lips.
Xie Yan glanced at the people in the flower hall indifferently and said coldly: "I also want to see who dares to gossip about me in person."
King Mu snorted softly and said: "Who doesn't know that the regent is so powerful? If others don't dare to say it to his face, why don't they say it behind his back?"
Xie Yan said: "What does it have to do with me if you say it behind your back?"
"Zhifei." The concubine sitting next to her saw that King Mu and Princess Mu were obviously useless, and she couldn't sit still.
Over the years, they have tried their best to prevent Xie Yan from getting married, but Xie Yan has cooperated.
Who knew that he would marry Luo Yun’s daughter now!
If Luo Yun's daughter married Xie Chengyou, it would be a great thing for them, but it would be a pity that her ignorant grandson would mess it up.
But if Xie Yan marries a daughter of the Luo family, it will be a big trouble for them.
Even if Xie Yan didn't say anything, could Luo Yun allow his daughter to be treated as a cheap girl as soon as she came into the family? Could Luo Yun allow an unrelated person or even a person who had a holiday to occupy his grandson's future title?

Xie Yan looked at the concubine coldly. King Mu's concubine's heart trembled and she quickly changed her words: "King Chu."
The concubine tried her best to consider her words, and then said cautiously: "Although the relationship between the prince and you is not harmonious, after all, we are the same flesh and blood as father and son. The prince is doing this for your own good. You are so grand and prosperous as the regent. How many people are watching, if you marry
What do others think of such a... girl? Also... in the palace, the Queen Mother may have some objections to this marriage, right? "
Xie Yan said: "When will it be the Queen Mother's turn to take charge of my king's marriage?"
Let alone the regent, even if he is just the king of Chu, there is no reason for a cousin to take care of his cousin's marriage.
The concubine said: "That's what I say, but the Queen Mother is your Majesty's biological mother after all. Your current identity is easily aroused by people's suspicion. If you marry the Luo family, which has a heavy army, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to your reputation. If it is the palace of the Prince of Chu
If we lack a princess, why not choose another one who is beautiful, gentle, and has a less conspicuous family background? I heard that the girl from the Luo family has a wild temper, and I’m afraid she won’t be able to manage the huge Prince Chu’s palace.”
There was a bit of sarcasm in Xie Yan's eyes, "Choose another one? For example, the concubine's niece?"
This was obvious contempt and ridicule, and the concubine immediately blushed with embarrassment.
King Mu had mentioned this matter to Xie Yan before, but Xie Yan never gave him face as a biological father, so he pushed him back without any courtesy.
Xie Heng, who was sitting next to him, was also a little angry. He slapped the table and said angrily: "What's wrong with my mother's niece? At least it's better than the one from the Luo family who chases men everywhere..."
"bump!"
Before Xie Heng could finish his words, he and his chair were swatted away.
Before he could react from the severe pain, Xie Yan was already in front of him.
A foot stepped on his heart, trampling him directly into the broken chair. Not only was his chest stomped so hard that he couldn't breathe, but his back was in severe pain.
This sudden change shocked everyone in the flower hall.
After several exclamations, King Mu came to his senses and said sternly: "You bastard! What do you want to do!"
Xie Chengyou had practiced martial arts for a few days. Although his skills were mediocre, he was still a young man with quick reactions. However, although he arrived, he did not dare to step forward to rescue his biological father.
Xie Yan lowered his head and looked down at Xie Heng on the ground, "Who gave you the courage to talk about the future Princess Regent?"
"Thank you... Yan!" Xie Heng shouted with difficulty.
The eldest young lady Han, who had come to her senses next to her, rushed towards her, but she also did not dare to get close. She could only cry sadly, "My lord, what do you want to do? He is your eldest brother!"
King Mu's concubine couldn't help it and rushed over directly.
She only has one son, Xie Heng, in her life. If something happens to him, even if she is a concubine and is favored, after all, she is still a concubine. What hope can she have?
Regardless of her fear of Xie Yan, she rushed over and reached out to pull Xie Yan's clothes, "Let go of my son! What do you want to do! He is your eldest brother, do you still want to kill your brother?!"
"Bang!" Xie Yanguang waved his sleeve, and King Mu's concubine was swept out.
She was already quite young, and when she was thrown out, she felt pain all over her body and dizziness.
It was just a coincidence that she fell right at Princess Mu's feet.
Before, Princess Mu had been standing there with no one paying attention to her, but when the chaos in the flower hall started, she became more like an outsider. Now that Princess Mu's side concubine fell at her feet, she actually felt a bit gloating in her heart.
But the next moment, the concubine grabbed the hem of her skirt, pulled her clothes and climbed up, "Princess, please ask King Chu to let A Heng go!"
Princess Mu wanted to see more jokes and didn't want to speak, but the concubine's hands were so strong that she couldn't struggle at all.
The nun next to her hurriedly stepped forward and tried to pull her away, but the concubine was about to lose her mind because of her son. Even if someone helped, she couldn't pull her away.
"Concubine, please let go of our princess first!"
"No! Tell your son to stop! He wants to kill A Heng!" the concubine shouted, "If A Heng dies, I won't live either!"
Princess Mu was not stupid, of course she heard the implication of the concubine's words.
