After dressing as a villain's ex-wife, she went crazy for whitewashing

Xiao Yunheng was busy with the sacrificial ceremony recently, probably because Emperor Hui couldn't pass the exam and he was idle all day, so he asked him to help in the Ministry of Rites.

It's been dark for the past few days before I get home, and it's not even evening today.

"I'm not busy today, I'll be back early." Xiao Yunheng leaned closer, regardless of who was around, and kissed her cheek.

"What are you doing?" Lu Xiyue stared blankly.

Fushou and Fuchun opened their eyes wide, they blushed at the same time, and looked away in fright.

God, my cousin is not ashamed!

After kissing someone, Xiao Yunheng didn't care if there was anyone nearby, and said in a warm voice: "By the way, I bought Xue Ji's roast duck. Xue Lang said that it's selling very well recently, so I'll bring it back for you to try."

"It's not time for dinner yet." Lu Xiyue winked at him.

Xiao Yunheng threw the roasted duck wrapped in oiled paper on the table, and looked at the two of them calmly.

Fu Chun and Fu Shou's complexion changed suddenly, they got up abruptly, and said in unison: "Sister-in-law, cousin, we still have something to do, so we'll go back to the palace first, and we won't bother you later."

Knowing that the two were afraid of Xiao Yunheng, Lu Xiyue didn't stop her, and sent them to the door: "Then I won't keep the two princesses, be careful on the way."

Fu Chun and Fu Shou got into the carriage as if fleeing.

Back in the hall, Lu Xiyue saw that pair of beautiful dark eyes shining brightly, staring at herself intently.

She was helpless: "Look at the two people who were scared by you, their faces turned pale."

Xiao Yunheng hugged her, put his chin on her shoulder, and lazily said: "It's fine if you're not scared."

"How is the preparation for the prince's sacrificial ceremony?"

"It's almost done. The next thing is Jingzhao's business, and I don't need it." He said, poked his head down, and opened his mouth to bite her on the face.

Neither light nor heavy, the tips of the teeth rubbed slightly.

Lu Xiyue turned her head, only feeling itchy, she couldn't help laughing and cursing: "I found out, you always like to bite my face, what's wrong with it?"

"I don't just like to bite your face, I like to bite other things."

He exerted a slight force on his arm, pressing the person into his arms.

Lu Xiyue obviously noticed his change, and pushed his shoulders with both hands: "We'll have dinner later, don't make trouble."

"No trouble, I'm so tired these days, can I..."

"No, let go first." Lu Xiyue struggled, she caught a glimpse of the roast duck on the table out of the corner of her eye, and hurriedly said, "Didn't I buy the roast duck, bring it here, I'll try it first."

"No rush, you didn't say you weren't hungry."

"Hungry now."

Lu Xiyue was a little flustered, doing this kind of thing in broad daylight, really...

However, Xiao Yunheng was so busy these days that he didn't have time to think. When he returned to the mansion every day, she had already fallen asleep, and Xiao Yunheng couldn't bear to wake her up.

He directly picked up the person horizontally and went to the side hall.

There is a soft couch in the side hall, on weekdays, Lu Xiyue will read the account books there when she has nothing to do.

The window of the side hall is still open, and the outside is facing the yard. A bouquet of crabapple flowers extends from behind the bushes, just like this. It hangs on the window. After the rainy night, there are still dewdrops on it. At this moment, the sun tilts down, refracting an unusually bright light .

The soft couch shook slightly, even the branches of the crabapple by the window swayed.

Until evening, the sky was dyed reddish orange, and the dewdrops rolled off the petals.

Lu Xiyue was wrapped in a thin quilt, and just holding Xiao Yunheng's hand, she swallowed the tea in small mouthfuls. It was not until she had two cups of tea that she felt her throat recover a bit.

"Is it time to eat?" She asked weakly.

Xiao Yunheng beside her was already fully dressed, sitting with a satisfied face, and tidying her hair tirelessly.

"Well, but my mother is in Huai'an Hou Mansion, so she must be discussing the marriage of the two families."

On the third day after Lu Xiyue and Xiao Yunheng named Xie Zhizhou Xinsi, he took his family to Yan's house to propose marriage.

The marriage was settled, and the appointment would be made in two days. Mrs. Huai'an Hou and Lu's mother had always been friends, so she was invited to help.

After all, there are many betrothal gifts, and it is possible to miss them for a while.

Lu Xiyue glared at him, annoyed, "So you know mother won't come back, right?"

Xiao Yunheng smiled and did not deny it.

Lu Xiyue rolled her eyes and directed him to bring her a meal.

She is too tired to lift her hands now.

Ten days later, the prince sacrificed to the grand ceremony.

From setting off to outside the palace, fasting, lighting the Temple of Heaven, and welcoming the God of God, everything went smoothly.

During the three days of the sacrifice, even the sky was exceptionally good, neither hot nor cold, even if he stood under the sun for several hours, he would not feel hot, as if even God had admitted that the present prince would become a wise king.

After the sacrificial ceremony, Xiao Yunheng prepared to submit the evidence proving the innocence of Duke Lu's mansion found more than a month ago.

However, just the day before, something happened.

Lu Xiyue met the elder Jade Bird Guard from before.

"Isn't there still two months left in the master selection competition, what are you doing here?"

"The competition is ahead of schedule." Qingbei said coldly.

"Advanced, why, isn't the rule of your Jade Bird Guard five months, it's only three months now."

The rules of the Jade Bird Guard have not changed for a hundred years, but they changed when they got here.

"Three candidates have been killed. According to our investigation, someone deliberately targeted our Jade Bird Guardian candidate and tried to make the existence of the Jade Bird Guard known to the public. Only in advance."

"You mean that the master of the Blue Bird Guard needs to be elected to fight against those people behind the scenes."

Qingbei nodded: "That's right, so, pack up now and go with me."

Lu Xiyue turned cold, "If I refuse, after all, you are the ones who said five months, and you are the ones who changed the rules. It seems that it is not what the Jade Bird Guard should do if it is not true."

The young man's lips moved, his eyes under the mask were heavy, he seemed to have expected that this trip would not be easy.

"If you don't go, I can only..."

"Kill me?" Lu Xiyue interrupted him, "If I remember correctly, your Jade Bird Guard's rule is that you can only take action against those who don't want to participate once the five-month deadline is up, but now it's three months. Why, this rule has also changed?"

The Jade Bird Guard, which has been passed down for a century, has no choice but to change a rule. Lu Xiyue doesn't believe that they will change it again and again.

Qingbei's forehead jumped, cursing in his heart.

He shouldn't have taken the initiative to propose a candidate in charge of the Great Xia area in the first place.

"How about this, you can change the rules, but I also want to fight for my rights."

Qingbei took a deep breath and said after a long time, "I can't make the decision."

Lu Xiyue smiled: "It's okay, I can wait for you to go back and discuss with the others."

"You talk about your conditions first."

"I want accurate information on several other candidates. In addition, you have to tell me where the competition is."

Knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to survive a hundred battles.

What he said before was all basic information, and she wanted all of it.
