Xie Yunjie has loved reading since he was a child. He would read behind closed doors and never touch the maids.

Although scholars and men of letters would often seek the company of famous prostitutes when they were drunk, he did not have such an elegant habit.

So he is still a virgin.

How can you not be full of energy at this age?

That day in the carriage, he blocked Song Nihuan. She was so close to him that her breath brushed against his ear.

Whenever he thought of this, he felt inexplicably hot.

Every morning, I watched my body become like that. I could only rest for a moment, get up and sit in meditation, and force myself to think about the books of saints and saints...

However, he insisted on his own ideas. Especially after hearing that she was jealous, he did not want to be known as a playboy and a prostitute.

However, Academician Zheng was unaware of the true situation. He simply thought that this young man was not only talented but also had great integrity and was someone he could trust.

A few days later, he sent his young daughter's birth certificate to Xie's house.

As the daughter of the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace, there is no better choice.

Naturally, there was no reason for Xie Yunjie to refuse.

The secret love that cannot be seen in the light of the boy's heart has to be buried forever.

The elders of the two families met, exchanged engagement letters, and the marriage was settled.

Only at night, the young man held his pen in suspense, his eyes fixed on the layered palace walls in the distance, feeling indescribable discomfort in his heart.

time flies.

In a blink of an eye, a month passed, and no one could have imagined that the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace would be raided because of a rebellious poem he wrote while drunk.

Those sentenced to beheading were beheaded, those sentenced to exile were exiled, and married girls were not spared the punishment. In the end, the only one who had to be exiled to the Jiaofangsi was the youngest daughter of Zheng, who was engaged to Xiao Xie, the Tanhua scholar.

In fact, Xie Yunjie had only seen Zheng Wan from a distance twice, so it was not as if he was deeply in love with her.

He still couldn't bear it. After all, she was the daughter of his mentor and his fiancée with whom he had exchanged engagement letters. He always had a hidden sense of responsibility in his heart.

It was not difficult for Xie to rescue the daughter of a guilty minister.

He used money and connections to buy Zheng Wan out of the Jiaofangsi.

With this in and out, she could no longer be the legal wife of Xiao Xie Tanhua, and could only be kept in the mansion as a maidservant who served him at any time, even worse than a concubine.

Zheng Wan fell from being the daughter of a university scholar to being a prostitute, which was really a pity. Fortunately, her handsome and upright fiancé pulled her out of the quagmire.

She dreamed of being abandoned and hated every night, and woke up crying. When she thought that she should have been the wife of the top scholar in the imperial examination, she felt angry and her heart ached, and she cried with sadness.

"How could this happen, how could it be..." She gritted her teeth in anger, and the more she thought about it, the sadder she became.

royal palace.

The incident involving Grand Secretary Zheng has implicated some members of the royal family of the previous dynasty, and those people are now in the Marquis An Ning's Mansion.

Xie Tan walked into the hall and saw Song Nihuan lying on a couch, leaning against a soft pillow, with her eyes slightly closed, as if she was about to fall asleep.

He stared at it for a moment, then leaned over.

"Ah, you're here." She opened her eyes and said, "I don't know how I fell asleep. I've been feeling sleepy very easily lately."

Xie Tan sat down, held her in his arms, and put his hand on her wrist. "The spring sun is bright and sunny, and it is indeed easy to feel drowsy."

Song Nihuan woke up for a while in his arms and rubbed him gently, "Don't be angry."

"Why am I angry?"

"It's written in the anti-poem." Song Nihuan said, "It's his personal opinion, and it doesn't mean that everyone in the world thinks the same way."

"I was not legitimate to begin with. Alas, Ni Huan, do you believe me? At that time, the rebels of the previous dynasty were ready to make a move, the crown prince had no intention of taking the throne and was badly injured, Xiao Shen was plotting a rebellion, and the late emperor had no other princes. If I had not proclaimed myself emperor, I don't know what kind of chaos the world would have been in." Xie Tan said helplessly, and then lowered his eyes to look at her, "I don't care what others think, but now that I am the emperor, if someone keeps using this as an excuse, how can the emperor rule without prestige? I can only kill the chicken to scare the monkey."

She nodded, "I know."

"In the future, I will return power to Xiao Yuanlin." Xie Tan said.

Song Nihuan said: "He hates you so much in his heart."

"I always feel that we shouldn't just throw him into the Marquis' Mansion and ignore him. He is a child after all. If he learns bad things, it will be troublesome." Song Nihuan said, "Let alone whether we will really pass the throne to him in many years. If we leave him alone now, I am afraid that he will be led by someone with ulterior motives."

Xie Tan was a little unhappy and glanced at her, "You care so much about him?"

Song Nihuan was speechless and glared at him unhappily. As an emperor, behind closed doors, he only wanted her to see him and only cared about him.

"Your Majesty, if others see you like this, you will be laughed at." She pushed him, "Xiao Yuanlin is still a child, pitiful."

Xie Tan smiled, hugged her and rubbed her neck.

Song Nihuan said angrily, "Stop making trouble, it's broad daylight. By the way, I want to go to An Ning Hou Mansion to return this mineral vein map to Xiao Yuanlin. You can go with me to see this child."

Although Xie Tan gave lenient punishment to the royal family members of the previous dynasty who were implicated by Zheng Daxueshi, those people were already like frightened birds, and were frightened out of their wits.

Now is the best time to comfort and spread the good name.

"Okay, as you say." Xie Tan said.

The Marquis of An Ning's Mansion is the former Lishan Palace. It is still as luxurious, gorgeous, and lifeless as ever.

When Song Nihuan and Xie Tan arrived, they saw Xiao Yuanlin practicing martial arts by the lake in the mansion. He was so absorbed in the practice that he didn't even notice them coming.

The eunuch was about to report it, but Xie Tan raised his hand to stop him.

Song Nihuan watched for a while and found that he was imitating the moves she used to subdue him when she met him that day.

Xie Tan obviously saw it as well.

Song Nihuan practiced this move every day without slacking off for a moment, and now he has achieved some success.

She walked over, snatched his wooden dagger, and wiped it along his arm. Before he could react, she wiped it across his throat again, "You're dead."

"Don't be so tense with the hand holding the knife. Relax a little. Also, your waist is unstable. If it sways back and forth, your arms will be unstable too."

After Xiao Yuanlin adjusted according to Song Nihuan's instructions, he practiced on the wooden stake again. As expected, the effect was good. His eyes lit up and his serious expression relaxed a little. He asked, "How did you get here?"

"I taught you, and you don't thank me. You don't want me to come over?" Song Nihuan pretended to be displeased.

"Thank you..." Xiao Yuanlin said seriously, but he didn't know how to address her, "I haven't asked for your name yet?"

"My last name is Song, you can call me Sister Song." She smiled, and seeing how well-behaved he was, she couldn't help but touch his chubby face.

Xiao Yuanlin only felt that Sister Song's hands were soft and warm, and he actually felt a little reluctant to leave.

Song Nihuan looked around and asked, "Where are the others in the mansion?"

"They are all hiding, or living a life of drunkenness and dreams, and living happily every day." Xiao Yuanlin said expressionlessly.

"What about you? Aren't you afraid?" she asked.

I think the royal family members of the previous dynasty who were imprisoned in the An Ning Marquis' Mansion are already aware of the matter involving Zheng Daxueshi's anti-poetry, and everyone is currently in a state of fear.

"I'm not afraid of him." Xiao Yuanlin said, "He is just a subordinate of my father. If he kills me, he will be scolded by the world. In ancient times, emperors paid the most attention to reputation. Although he is a latecomer, I don't think he will be a reckless person."

Song Nihuan smiled helplessly and winked at him.

Xiao Yuanlin didn't understand.

Xie Tan coughed twice behind him with a stern face.
