Enemies are reborn

Xie Yu's smile, with hypocrisy, made people feel cold.

Xiao Kunning stood up suddenly, the sleeves flicked off the chess basket, and the white pieces fell all over the floor. She was shocked and resentful: "Mr. played with me when he recovered, is it interesting?"

The girl on the opposite side was still cute and honest one moment, but changed the next moment, she looked like a hedgehog with thorns all over her body.Xie Yu stared at the chess pieces all over the floor, "It's just a test of your homework, you haven't made any progress, but your way of doing things is much more mature, compared to the sentence earlier today, Mr. was tired last night, it's not good to take the liberty to bother you. Calm and with your own Style, very good very good."

Xiao Kunning pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

After a moment of silence, footsteps sounded outside, Nongqin strode closer, and spoke directly to Xiao Kunning: "Today, after taking a rest, His Majesty came to Yan's residence in person, and bestowed upon Yan Xiang the title of Duke of Jin, hereditary."

Xiao Kunning pouted at her, took half a step back, and revealed Xie Yu's figure, signaling that Xie Yu had recovered.

Nongqin is straightforward, he didn't care about Xie Yu, and said seriously: "Mr. has not recovered yet, I feel that there is something wrong with this knighthood."

The Empress Dowager did not agree with the emperor welcoming Yan Ruyu into the palace, and the attitude of Yan Xiang was also very obvious. The emperor had completely slapped the Empress Dowager in the face by doing this. For a woman, why did she make such a big fuss.

But Xie Yu said: "The emperor is slapping the queen mother in the face this time. It is true that his face is an uncle of the country, and he can also become the head of the country. It is up to him how to do it."

In this way, the emperor used a divorce plan.Nongqin nodded and said excitedly: "Mr. is right, sir..."

Suddenly stopped, she turned around to look at Mr. in a trance.

Xie Yu had no expression on her face, her body leaned back slightly, and she was very relaxed. The pulsating tendons were clearly visible on her slender jade neck. The difference from yesterday was the cold smile on the corners of her lips, as cold as a lonely moon.

Seeing this, Nongqin wept with joy, Xie Yu said in front of Xiao Kunning: "Don't meddle in the affairs of the Yan family, you have to go to Princess Gaoyang's side, just thank the house flower, and ask her to take a look tomorrow .”

Xiao Kunning was not surprised, Xie Yu was like a demon in a painting, well connected, respected, would not offend Gao Yang, and would naturally clean up the mess when he woke up.

Nongqin leader ordered to back out, Xiao Kunning just stood there.

Xie Yu seemed to be thinking about it, his already outstanding appearance was stained with melancholy, his nose was fine and his eyebrows were fine, and he was very pretty.She was not in the mood to look, and wanted to leave Xiao's residence, so she said after thinking about it: "The student left after the master recovered."

Xie Yu didn't speak, raised his eyebrows slightly, and was silent for a moment. The person opposite was a little impatient, "The class will start in a few days, what are your plans?"

"What plan?" Xiao Kunning was at a loss.

Xie Yu was originally impatient, but seeing that she was ignorant, he suppressed his displeasure, and said kindly to her, "Enter the court."

Xiao Kunning sneered: "You usually say that students are stupid, how can they have the ability to enter the court, there are many tricks in the court, and the water is deep, do you think I am suitable? Besides, my father has offended His Majesty by deceiving Xiao Wenxue. I can't go on anymore, and it's not easy for me to stay alone. My plan is to leave Chang'an with my father, so don't worry too much, sir."

Just kidding, she has self-knowledge, she doesn't have the ability to be a female officer, otherwise she will end up miserable again.

Xie Yu glanced at her, with a hint of hatred for iron and steel, and said: "Xiao Shilang may not leave Beijing, you are too thoughtful. There is a lack of virtue, so let's stop here."

It is impossible to be promoted, and it may not be demoted.

Xiao Kunning didn't think too much about Xiao Mingwang's official position, whether he was promoted or demoted was the same thing, "Mr. loves you, but students are stupid, so they don't deserve your attention."

Broken cans and smashed, life and death refused.Xie Yu was annoyed: "Do you remember hating me?"

In her previous life, Xiao Kunning would probably still be afraid, who made her like him, but don't say she is afraid now, she doesn't even blink her eyelids, and said calmly: "Mr. You are joking, students are not interested in your things, the world is so big, I just want to go out and have a look. Who you love is your own business, and it has nothing to do with me."

Hearing her talk about the past, Xie Yu felt that he had lost his composure, and knew that he was frightened before, so he said in a good voice: "Then what are you afraid of, I won't eat you."

Xiao Kunning did not raise his head, but stared down at his own toes, and said weakly: "Sir, you think too much. I keep your secrets to myself. No one will know about your secrets after I leave Chang'an. It is also good for you. Pulling me into the court will only hurt you." .”

After being in close contact with Xie Yu, she understood very well that not to fight Xie Yu is the most correct reason, and the contacts in her hands are something she can't get even if she lives a lifetime.

In the previous life, everyone is their own master, and Xie Yu can't blame her. It's her own bad luck, and she shouldn't covet the posthumous position if she has no ability.Now, she thinks very clearly that she should stay away from Xie Yu, far away, and not touch the dusty past.

Hearing such dejected words, Xie Yu felt that she was not stupid, but unintentional, as if she had seen through the world of mortals, she was clear and boring.

Can't be persuaded, let her go for the time being, it's better to stay in the mansion, she got up and walked to the study.

Xiao Kunning wanted to listen to the matter, no matter whether Xie Yu was willing or not, he still followed.

Xie Yu could see her careful thinking at a glance, and he didn't point it out. Instead, he slowed down on purpose, waiting for her to catch up.

In the study, there are piles of information everywhere, almost filling up the entire table.Xie Yu casually took a letter from Jiangnan, and handed it to Xiao Kunning: "Since you have no intention, why bother to follow me, or do you still know about Wen Yuke?"

Xiao Kunning took the letter and opened it to find out that it was a matter of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.After the disbandment of the Chamber of Commerce, merchants from all over the country felt resentful towards the imperial court, but they dared not make trouble, and only held grudges against the emperor.

It can be seen that Zhao Mian lost the hearts of the people here in Jiangnan.

Xie Yu asked her, "What can you tell from this?"

Xiao Kunning thought about it: "Your Majesty didn't get the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, and he also lost the hearts of Jiangnan."

Xie Yu smiled lightly: "It's a lot smarter, look at this."

Wen and Ke's past.Wen Yuke's life in Wen's family is difficult, her parents died, and her uncles, cousins ​​and sisters don't want to see her.Now that Wen Yu can be transferred to Chang'an City, the Wen family only recognized Wen Yu as a member of the Wen family after making a lot of publicity.A scholarly writer, but what he did was shameless.

The Wen family is considered an ordinary mansion in Luoyang, but it is not worth a penny in Chang'an.Moreover, the Wen family has not made much progress in their official career over the years. Wen Yuke's father failed the exams repeatedly, and became depressed and ill.

Therefore, Wen Yuke became the new Jing Zhaoyin before he started his official career. The Wen family felt full of glory and would definitely recognize Wen Yuke.

Xiao Kunning knew about these past events, Wen Yuke scolded Xie Yu that day, the Wen family panicked, Mrs. Wen came to the door to apologize to Xie Yu, and threatened to remove Wen Yuke from the family and no longer recognize her.

Xie Yu looked at her sad little face, and said with a sneer, "Wen Yuke has one brain, and you and her together have two brains and two brains."

Xiao Kunning couldn't bear it any longer, and said, "How many nerves do you have in your brain?"

This person is not likable when he wakes up, not as cute as Xie Xiaoyu.Thinking of this, she thought of her weakness, and said happily, "Mr., do you remember what happened after you were poisoned?"

Xie Yu said lightly: "I don't remember."

Xiao Kunning snorted coldly: "We are one-sided, and you don't have half a muscle. A bowl of chicken soup can run around Gu Dong's house for half an hour."

Xie Yu, who was flipping through the documents with downcast eyes, trembled at his fingertips, pursed his lips, and raised his head to look at her: "Everything will not develop according to the original situation when encountering Gu Ning."

This answer is thick-skinned enough.

Under the sky, Xie Yu's face was beautiful and flawless, if one ignored the shameless nature, it would be a bit seductive.

It's a pity that Xiao Kunning doesn't care about this woman. There are thousands of women in the world, why did they fall in love with such a thing blindly in their previous life.

Beauty deceives others, she is already awake, and boldly cast a disdainful look at Xie Yu: "Then when there is a thunderstorm, climb into my bed in the middle of the night and stay in my room."

Hearing this, Xie Yu acted as if this incident hadn't happened, and handed her another document: "Someone impeached Wen Yuke, the handling of the case was unfair, and he had a private relationship with Gu Ning."

Have a private relationship with Gu Ning?Xiao Kunning didn't believe it, these two people lived far and wide, and they had no intersection at all, and what was written in the document was nothing more than Yushitai's affairs.She was ignorant before, but after she became a queen, people impeached her every three days at Yushitai.

She didn't care about the nonsense, she glanced lightly at Xie Yu: "The Taifu and Gu Ning have known each other for a long time, so they should know the relationship between the two."

Xie Yu answered her indifferently: "I am not familiar with Gu Ning."

Xiao Kunning blinked her 'disbelief' eyes, "Do you think I will believe it? Mr. Gu said I was not born, so you two knew each other."

Xie Yu pinched a piece of paper with his white fingertips, the corners of his bright red lips were tightly pursed, his dark eyes stared for a while, and finally said: "Am I that old?"

It has been four years since Xie Yu came to Beijing with a plan to make a decision. For ordinary people at this age, they get married early, no matter how bad they are, they still have a partner or a lover. Xie Yu is like this, very few.

Twenty and two years old, not very old, but the things he can do are not like this age.

Xiao Kunning was afraid of her identity as a demon, so she didn't dare to say too much, she just looked up at the sky, you don't have self-knowledge?

Xie Yu held another document about Wen Yu's impeachment in his hand. After holding it for a long time, his heart sank, and he finally put the document back in place.

At this time, the aides were seeking an audience outside, and after entering, they said first, "Jing Zhaoyin released Bi Shu."

Xie Yu remained calm, "It's okay, just let it go, and invite her to accompany me at a banquet tomorrow."

The aide didn't ask who was invited to the banquet, and took the words: "One more thing, the servants around His Majesty came to look for his subordinates yesterday, and the Empress Dowager asked Mr. to visit for a while."

Xiao Kunning wondered, what's the use of calling Xie Yu about the Tian family's affairs, Xie Yu has the ability to solve this matter?

Xie Yu sneered, opened the letter from Princess Gaoyang's fiefdom, found it interesting, and said, "I see, what else has Princess Gaoyang been up to these days?"

The aide replied: "Princess Gao Yang has always been extravagant. After entering Chang'an, she bought things wantonly. A few days ago, she entered Yan Xiang's mansion. She was almost so angry that Princess Jing Jing chased away guests."

About Jingyang and Leyang's fight for husband, Gao Yang is the one who knows the most. Her fief is rich and far away from Chang'an. I heard that Emperor Gaozong gave her the right to raise soldiers in the fief before his death.There are not many soldiers, but they can protect themselves, and they have not been involved in political affairs these years. The first emperor even forgot about such a youngest sister.

Unexpectedly, this time the Empress Dowager's birthday, she came here, making the city of Chang'an uneasy, and also made everyone aware of the fact that the two eldest princesses were fighting for husband.

There was a hint of sarcasm on the corners of Xie Yu's lips, and his eyes were so deep that he said, "Don't worry about her, what's wrong with her, you can just help her in the back."

Xiao Kunning glanced at her secretly, sure enough, Xie Yu wanted to make trouble, she should stay away.

Xie Yu called his staff to speak, and swept Xiao Kunning aside: "I'll let Nongqin take you back home."

Xiao Kunning couldn't wish for it, and followed Nongqin away without saying much, Xie's house was full of dangers, staying away from Xie Yu was better than doing anything.

Nongqin led Xiao Kunning to leave from the side door. Many people at the gate held posts asking to see Xie Yu. The young man in brocade clothes talked to people, "I heard that King Yanping is ill. Do you think the original Princess Yanping is the current one?" The imperial concubine?"

"It's hard to say. The Empress Dowager's birthday banquet said the eldest daughter of the Yan family, and there are several older sisters above the imperial concubine. In my opinion, it is the Yan family who lied to King Yanping."

"The noble concubine is beautiful and beautiful. She is a rare beauty. I heard that she has always admired King Yanping, but King Yanping didn't express it. In this way, it doesn't look like a lie. I think His Majesty should have robbed my younger brother's concubine."

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't talk nonsense, it is a serious crime to talk about your majesty."

Nongqin didn't care, turned around to look, the slow Xiao Kunning seemed to be interested in what these people said, kindly said: "Sir, let them talk, you can still hear the voices outside and know people's hearts."

It's not a good thing to be too closed, you should listen to words.

Xiao Kunning nodded and boarded the carriage back home.

****

Xie Yu in the mansion saw the embarrassed Bi Shu.

Bi Shu was imprisoned for so long for no reason, and she felt resentful. Xie Yu didn't care about her arrogant attitude, and said, "If you are a bit cautious in doing things, why would Minister Xiao treat you as an imposter. Here is Chang'an, ministers are not wine bags and rice bags."

Bi Shu was not convinced: "Sir, it seems that it is all my fault that you left Su's Pharmacy without telling me."

Xie Yu raised his head and looked at her quietly: "Should I tell you what I do?"

Xie Yu was expressionless, and the light in the room illuminated her calm and deep eyes, which seemed to be peaceful, but in fact they were filled with fear. Bi Shu dared not speak out, "It was the subordinate's fault, and I will never make it again in the future."

"Princess Gao Yang will come to the banquet tomorrow. If you want to see her, you can serve her at the banquet. If you don't want to, that's all." Xie Yu said.

Bi Shu seemed to hesitate, Xie Yu said again: "Give me an answer tomorrow morning."

Then Bi Shu withdrew.

When Xiao Kunning returned to the house that day, the Luo family called her into the room and handed her a directory. When she opened it, she found that they were all young talents.

Xiao Kunning's scalp was numb, the first page was Ding Guohou's eldest son, that is, Zhou Wenqing's elder brother, he was handsome, and he heard that he would take part in the scientific examination next year, so he didn't want to be sealed by his family.Many people admired him so much, Luo Shi actually thought that he would like the Xiao family.

Before she could refuse, Luo Shi, who was leaning on the bed, said, "Ding Guohou's son is good, Lord Hou has some friendship with your father, if you are interested, this matter will be settled."

"Decided?" Xiao Kunning frowned. With such a quick style of attack from the Luo family, it felt like the Xiao family was on the brink of failure. Hurry up to make a marriage, and there will be something to rely on in the future.

Luo's back was leaning against the pillow, her breath was not smooth, her face was haggard, even the corners of her lips were white, she was not happy to see her resisting so much, and said: "You know the situation of the Xiao family. Zhennan Prince's Mansion I can't take care of myself, Prince Zhou is good, if you don't like him, there are others on the list."

Eighteen or nineteen-year-old girls will be easily gossiped if they don't talk about marriage. Before that, they were waiting for King Yanping to choose a concubine. Now that King Yanping has chosen a concubine, it's time for the Xiao family to take action.

If you don't get married again, you will be an old girl.

Xiao Kunning heard another meaning, that is, it is very good for the Xiao family to climb up to Dingguohou's Mansion.

Just imagine, Xiao Mingwang was in trouble, and the whole city knew about his affairs, but the emperor didn't know what he was thinking. At this time, Ding Guohou was so attentive, the Xiao family would definitely be happy.

In the previous life, this prince of Zhou died of illness, he seemed to be plagued by tuberculosis, I don't remember the details.At that time, she became a queen and ordered her to enter the palace to pay her respects. Someone mentioned this sentence, but she didn't pay attention to it. Now thinking about it, she is terrified.

Does the Zhou family have any plans?

Xiao Kunning silently refused, Luo Shi was unhappy but endured it, turned another page of the directory, and said patiently: "If you think the Zhou family is not good, the Yan family is a side branch, Yan Xiang's nephew works in the Jinwu Guard."

Xiao Kunning's eyelids twitched, this man was killed by Xie Yu, and his bones were turned into ashes, "Does father know about these things?"

Luo's spirit was not good, and he started panting after saying a few words, looked at Xiao Kunning's obedient appearance with cold eyes, and simply punctured the window paper: "If you wake up, you will forget about the little Princess. Not to mention, just because of the current situation, you should stay away."

If it was in the previous life, Xiao Kunning would definitely refute a few words, Shen Rui paid a lot for her, she would not allow others to say that.

Now that Luo Shi is ill, she doesn't have the heart to fight for power, but getting married is impossible, so she blocked Luo Shi with one sentence: "I like women, these people don't like them."

It is not a secret for women to get married, but many people who pay attention to rules still cannot accept it. In the past, Shen Rui had a high status, and the Luo family had been enduring it. Now he doesn't want to bear it anymore. He grabbed the list and threw it at Xiao Kunning: "Die this heart."

Xiao Kunning didn't hide, and smiled, "If you think about this for me, why don't you give it to Xiao Wenxue, after all, she is so good, she is completely suitable for the Zhou family's sick child and the Yan family's short-lived ghost."

Luo Shi was surprised for a while, watched her turn and leave, suddenly remembered something, suddenly coughed a few times, and hurriedly called the maidservant: "Go, go and invite your lord to come."

As soon as Xiao Kunning came out of the courtyard, she heard the maidservant's voice running towards her. Seeing him running to the study room, she didn't stop him. Luo Shi's ears were soft, and she didn't know she was being cheated.

Zhou Wenqing was also the candidate for Princess Yanping, and he should be thinking about the next thing at this time, after all, it is impossible for such a eldest daughter of the Yan family to be valued by others.

****

There was a dispute between the Yan family and the merchant for several days, and the merchant finally won. The reputation of Hengxiang Pavilion was at its peak, and everyone from the royal family to the common people would buy pianos.

Gu Ning made a lot of money, and the Su's pharmacy here distributes herbs to protect against wind and cold in winter, and the money in her hand will disappear without heat. Gu Ning sighed while looking at the account book.

And the new Jing Zhaoyin, who has been praised by others, bought a pot of peony flowers at the flower market for a tael of silver, and picked all the petals after returning home. Grandmother Wang looked at it and sighed, "It's so beautiful to put such a beautiful flower all over the place." What did you pick it up for?"

Wen Yuke put the petals in the gauze, chiseled them with a stone hammer, and the red flower juice came out. Wang understood, "Have you figured it out? But if you want lip balm, you can go to the shop and buy some." , why bother to waste these petals, besides, can the ones you made be usable?"

There were only two people in the small courtyard. This was a small house that Wen Yuke bought with a loan. Mrs. Wang cleaned it on weekdays. The two of them lived very comfortably.

Drop a few drops of rose sesame oil into the flower juice, let it dry for a while, then add a few pieces of beeswax, and finally bake it on a low fire, waiting for it to slowly solidify and form.

Seeing that she was doing seriously, Mrs. Wang suddenly became enlightened for some reason, and no longer felt sorry for the petals and silver, she pulled her and said, "You have changed a bit since you came back recently, have you taken a fancy to some girl?"

It is definitely not for your own use to make lipstick. There are so many rouge shops, there is no need to make it yourself. After a hard day of hard work, it must be for other girls.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang regained her spirits and asked her granddaughter to ask questions.

Wen Yu didn't say a word, just kept his lips on his lips, and when it was dusk, he found that the work was broken. Although it was formed, the color was extremely bad.

After all, Mrs. Wang had stayed in Wen's family before, so she could tell the difference between good and bad. What she made herself was not as good as outsiders. She tried her best to persuade her: "It's better to buy some outside. You don't know how to do it well."

"It's okay, I'll try again." Wen Yuke carefully studied the bad lip gloss. If he didn't know what was wrong, he would definitely fail next time.

Before the research was done, someone knocked on the courtyard door, Mrs. Wang went to open the door, and a shy little girl came in.

Holding the brocade box in her hand, the girl bowed to Wen and Xingxing: "Hello, Mr. Wen, my Highness asked my servant to bring it to you."

Wen Yuke wiped his hands in the water, his face was indifferent, the corners of his lips were like blades, and he drove away the guests when he opened his mouth: "You will not be rewarded for no merit, please report back to your Highness, what I did is in line with common sense and acted impartially."

The servant girl has seen too many courtiers, and she never expected such a female official to be so cold and hard. She persuaded: "My lord has worked hard, and my Highness is sympathetic to you. Why do you refuse so much?"

Wen Yu is not gentle like an ordinary woman, and she is cold even when she doesn't speak. After hearing what the maid said, she walked to the gate of the courtyard: "The humble house is simple, and I don't want to keep the girl. Please go back."

The maid gave her a gouging look, twisted her body and left.

Wen Yuke closed the courtyard door and continued to study the peonies. Wang didn't care, but the flowers of one tael of silver were too expensive, so he said, "You change some flowers, peonies are too wasteful."

Wen Yuke thinks about it too, before he can make a fat, his salary will be used up, and he will move all the utensils back to the house, and try again when he is free.

Princess Gaoyang hit a wall for the first time in Wen Yuke, and it didn't take long for the news to spread, and such a Jing Zhaoyin was on the cusp again.

After Xie Yu woke up, Guanzhizhai resumed classes, and Xiao Kunning was dragged into the palace to face Xie Yu every day.

Xie Yu has more and more time, and always asks some weird questions after class, such as why did Kong Rong give up pears?

As soon as the fairy question came up, Zhao Can muttered, "Kong Rong let the pears be because the pears are sweet."

Xie Yu didn't answer, and left in a flutter, but Shen Yunzhi pulled Xiao Kunning: "The imperial concubine is hosting a banquet today, and invited us, can you go?"

Xiao Wenxue reached out and pulled Xiao Kunning back from Shen Yunzhi's grasp in a rare way, but she didn't show a good face: "If Miss Shen goes, why don't you go by yourself, I have something to do with Aning."

All the students in the hall received the invitation from the noble concubine, but the sisters of the Xiao family didn't know about it. Shen Yunzhi wanted to sneer, but Xiao Wenxue unexpectedly had such an attitude, and said: "A student of unknown origin, raised by a merchant, is indeed all People can't see it."

Xiao Wenxue's face was flushed, Xiao Kunning approached with a smile, before Shen Yunzhi could react, he raised his hand and slapped him.

The hall immediately became quiet, and Zhao Can didn't know what the candied fruit tasted like, so he opened his eyes wide, for Sister Xiao was amazing.

Shen Yunzhi was beaten into a daze, and when he came back to his senses, he thought about throwing his hand back, Xiao Wenxue pulled his sister back, and said: "It's not for Miss Shen to argue about our identities, but I do know what Miss Shen is thinking. , Mr. Huiyan, do you think she likes mean women?"

"You..." Shen Yunzhi didn't expect to be turned against the general, especially by threatening her with Xie Yu's matter, and ran out of the palace without caring about the pain, you wait.

Xiao Kunning was surprised, the beating was done on purpose by her, and she didn't expect Xiao Wenxue to solve it so easily, she said to Xiao Wenxue, "How do you know that she likes Mr. Xie?"

Xiao Wenxue smiled faintly: "In her eyes, other people see her husband as respectful, but she is different." Although it's not a big deal for a girl to admire her husband, it's because of a bad reputation, but it's okay, it's also a pleasure to make Shen Yunzhi suffer so much.

But Shen Yunzhi didn't get along with the imperial concubine, why did he suddenly favor her?

Knowing that she had a delicate mind, Xiao Kunning didn't say much, so he went out of the palace with her.

On the way, Xiao Wenxue laughed and said, "You beating Shen Yunzhi today reminds me of something."

Xiao Kunning was surprised, she continued to laugh and said, "You look at Mr. with disdain, and Mr. sees you differently from others."

Not only do I know that Shen Yunzhi likes Xie Yu, but I also know what my husband is thinking.
