Enemies are reborn

After the assessment of Guanzhizhai was over, the girls went back to their dormitories to pack up their belongings and return home. Zhao Can was the happiest. He was not worried about the assessment at all, and kept muttering while packing up.

"The city of Luoyang is very lively, especially in the spring when all the flowers are in bloom. We went to see the book cruise and heard that there is a painting boat there. The girls on the painting boat know everything about piano, poetry, calligraphy and painting. Let's call some girls and they sing The poem is right, how about we drink. Also, my father allowed me to go outside for a walk, why don't we join hands to play, Jiangnan, Sichuan, or even go to the border to find Shen Rui, you can play.

The lively Zhao Can mobilized the atmosphere in the dormitory with a few words, and even Xiao Wenxue, who was well-behaved, was talked about with curiosity, saying: "I heard that the women on the Luoyang painting boat are good at poetry, are very good at the piano, and are very good at playing the harp. , The pipa comes at your fingertips."

Zhao Can's eyes were shining brightly, and he walked up to Xiao Wenxue excitedly: "Yes, yes, why don't we go together and play for a few months before coming back, okay?"

"Okay. We'll leave tomorrow." Xiao Kunning at the side made a decision. Just relying on the tortoise on the test paper, Xie Yu would not spare her. Why not take the opportunity to leave and come back after the dust settles and Xie Yu chooses the female officer .

Xiao Wenxue didn't know the inside story. Seeing that she was so interested, she hesitated, "Did you decide too quickly?"

"Not fast, not fast, just say it was an invitation from the princess, and I have to go." Xiao Kunning pulled Zhao Can closer and discussed with her.

Zhao Can's eyes were squinted with joy, her little face was pink, and she immediately grabbed Sister Xiao's hands: "Okay, okay, okay, tomorrow is tomorrow, see you at the East City Gate."

Xiao Wenxue raised her forehead, there must be something wrong with Ah Ning in such a hurry, it didn't look like she was going to play, but rather like running for her life.

The others had to wait for Xie Yu's reply, and were worried, especially when Shen Yunzhi was sitting there absent-mindedly, and Zhao Can was so happy that he invited her to go.

Shen Yunzhi came back to her senses, she couldn't see Xiao Kunning well, especially her father said that Grand Tutor Xie Xie intended to choose Xiao Kunning, then she would have no hope.

She felt uncomfortable, and she refused to let it go, and said in a strange way: "Why do I feel that Xiao Kunning seems to be running for his life in a hurry, is it a guilty conscience?"

Xiao Kunning's heart trembled, she remembered drawing the turtle as if no one saw it, how did Shen Yunzhi see it?

She remained silent, and Zhao Can couldn't get over her anger: "It's a guilty conscience to go out to play."

Shen Yunzhi sneered: "Don't you know? Xiao Kunning has the cheek to snatch the marriage of the Marquis of Dingyuan."

Xiao Wenxue frowned when she heard the words, "Miss Shen has to think carefully about what she says."

The others quieted down, quietly waiting for Shen Yunzhi's next words.

Shen Yunzhi regained his energy: "A few days ago, the Dingyuan Hou's Mansion and Mr. Wen of the Ministry of Justice had an engagement. Xiao Kunning had the cheek to go to Mr. Wen, and even let someone hurt Uncle Wen. I heard that his leg was broken. Now Master Wen ruined the marriage, Miss Zhou almost committed suicide in the mansion."

Zhao Can was stunned, how could these messy things be blamed on Sister Xiao, she immediately slapped the table and said: "You are lying, Mr. Wen never agreed to the marriage at all. It was the Luoyang Wen family who secretly agreed, Sister Zhou's legs are not good. Well, let's come to force the marriage, what's the matter with Sister Xiao. Shen Yunzhi, don't talk nonsense, and be careful that you will be struck by lightning."

Zhao Can is a vicious rabbit, and his father, King Gaoyang, has no ability and is not as noble as ordinary.Shen Yunzhi never put her in his eyes, and ignored her at all, and said: "It is true that Master Wen's uncle broke his leg, and it is also true that Xiao Kunning and Master Wen entered and exited together in Moxiangzhai. Why, is Master Wen the same?" Upstart in court, you can’t wait any longer?”

Zhao Can was so angry that she clenched her teeth and rolled up her cuffs to start a fight. Xiao Kunning held her down and said, "I hit him because she called me low. I mean, Mr. Wen came to Moxiangge to buy a piano, and I gave it away as a gift. It's etiquette for people to return home, as for the new rich, the Zhou family forced the marriage first, and Master Wen and I are innocent."

Shen Yunzhi said sharply: "It wasn't you who hooked up with Mr. Wen, why did he scold you. If you don't behave properly, are you allowed to be criticized by others?"

Xiao Wenxue pulled Xiao Kunning away, Zhao Can was free, stepped forward and slapped Shen Yunzhi without saying a word: "I want to tell sir."

The others retreated one after another, leaving themselves clean.Covering his face, Shen Yunzhi yelled, his heart trembled, and he stared at Zhao Can: "What are you going to tell Mr., she is the one who hooked up with others, why don't you let me?"

Zhao Can rolled up his cuffs and put his right hand on his hip: "I want to tell Mr. that you like Mr. and Mr. likes Sister Xiao. If you are jealous of Sister Xiao, come and pour dirty water on her."

Others: "..." It turned out that it was a love-hate story in private.

Shen Yunzhi was going crazy, how did Zhao Can, an idiot, know that she was going to beat someone.

Xiao Kunning and Xiao Wenxue looked at each other, and hurried forward to pull someone. It's okay not to pull, but Shen Yunzhi's voice was heard after pulling: "Who kicked me, who, who grabbed my face..."

The others didn't dare to stay longer, and ran out of the dormitory regardless of whether the cages were packed or not, it was none of our business.

Three people in the room beat one, Shen Yunzhi was ripped off, and the sisters of the Xiao family ran away holding Zhao Can.

When Xie Yu heard the news, he saw Shen Yun's ghost beating him, and his heart froze, "What's wrong with Miss Shen?"

Shen Yunzhi was so kicked that he couldn't stand up, covering his face that had been ripped apart, he burst into tears, faltering and faltering about what happened just now.

Xie Yu didn't hear clearly, so he went over to help him up himself.

Xie Yu's robe was clean, his skin was fair, and his hands were well-articulated. When he leaned over, Shen Yun's heart skipped a beat. He smelled a faint fragrance, and handed his hand to Xie Yu.

As soon as she took the initiative, Xie Yu realized something, and stood up straight, "It seems that the injury is not serious, I ordered someone to call the imperial doctor."

Shen Yunzhi was ashamed and angry, clenched his hands in his cuffs: "Sir, it was Xiao Kunning who hit me."

Hearing Xiao Kunning's name, Xie Yu stopped: "Why?"

Shen Yunzhi took the opportunity to say: "It was Xiao Kunning who shamelessly seduced Mrs. Wen and disturbed the marriage between the Zhou and Wen families. If I said a few words to her, she would beat me."

The light in Xie Yu's eyes dimmed, and he walked away. Shen Yunzhi in the room yelled and yelled, but she didn't look back.

Shen Yunzhi touched her face, her eyes were venomous, she did not believe that Mr. Xie could still choose her.

****

The carriage of Xiao Kunning and the others came out of the palace gate, Zhao Can was still scolding Shen Yunzhi in the carriage, and uttered what he knew like beans in a bamboo tube.

It turned out that Shen Yunzhi's mother was originally a concubine, and she was helped down after the death of his main wife. Shen Yunzhi became a concubine's daughter logically, but his temperament in his bones remained unchanged. Not to mention greedy and narrow-minded, he always thought about what he didn't deserve. It is said that servants are always beaten and scolded in the mansion.

After nagging and talking a lot, he closed his mouth unwillingly after his mouth was dry.Xiao Kunning felt that she was more open-minded than in her previous life, and remembering what happened to King Gaoyang in the end was also heartbroken, so she said: "You should calm down too, it's not worth it."

Zhao Can felt the same way. Father always said that people should be more open-minded. She took out a candied fruit from her purse and stuffed it into her mouth. She immediately felt sweet, and said, "My sister should also stay away from Master Wen."

"Why?" Xiao Kunning didn't understand, Wen Yuxing acted safely, and the rare clean flow in court, what's wrong?

Zhao Can said, "Father said Mrs. Wen is good, but the family affairs are very chaotic, and it is easy to be implicated. The Wen family in Luoyang is not as good as the previous generation, and they have become greedy. Sister Xiao was just sold to her this time. It's hard to say. Moreover, the marriage between the Wen family and the Zhou family was agreed by the Wen family in Luoyang, so my sister should take it easy."

Xiao Wenxue was curious: "How do you know so much?"

Zhao Can snorted, leaned closer to the two of them and said, "You two sisters forgot, when we came back from Luoyang, the Wen family went around seeking convenience in Luoyang under the name of Master Wen, and this marriage is probably going to happen."

Xiao Kunning knew about these things and didn't care about them. Wen Yuke was also forced to marry in her previous life, but it wasn't the Zhou family, and it was said that she was also a nobleman, but I don't know the details.She didn't know Mr. Wen until after Zhao Ji's death. At that time, the Wen family didn't dare to provoke her.

They are all disgusting people, there is no need to think about it.

The carriage first arrived at Gaoyang Prince's Mansion, Zhao Can said: "Don't be unhappy about these things, come to my mansion to play at night, I have a lot of good wine here, drink a few cups and go back to the mansion to be comfortable."

After drinking like this, I probably won't be able to leave tomorrow.Thinking of this, Xiao Wenxue agreed, "Okay, I won't disturb you then."

Zhao Can waved his hand, remembering that parting was imminent, so he also invited Mr. Xie, along with a few children.

****

Xie Yu in the palace was invited by the emperor to play chess, and Yan Ruyu was making tea on one side, and the three of them were also in harmony in the afternoon. The spring sunshine came in from the window and slowly fell on the chess game opposite Xie Yu.

Zhao Mian was absent-minded, and his eyes fell on Xie Yu's clean and clear five fingers, holding the black chess piece with two fingers, dignified like a goddess, and white like a saint.

After Yan Ruyu noticed his gaze, she sneered in her heart, Xie Yu would never enter the palace, the more a man can't get it, the more he thinks about it day and night, Zhao Mian has been thinking about it since he was enthroned.After so many years, it makes me sad to see that I can't eat it.

She crushed the tea cake and put it into the boiling water, and said with a light smile, "I heard that today's assessment, who is Mr. looking for?"

Xie Yu didn't answer, Heizi surrounded Zhao Mian's son, Zhao Mian sighed, "The Grand Tutor won, I'm also curious who the Grand Tutor will choose?"

"The exam paper is in the hands of other gentlemen, I haven't seen it yet." Xie Yu's face showed no joy after victory, Zhao Mian was just giving her way.

There must be a reason for the king to give way to his ministers.

"Really?" Zhao Mian stared at her moist red lips.

Yan Ruyu brought the brewed tea to the emperor, and smiled like a flower: "Sir, there must have been someone to choose, but I think Shen Shangshu's daughter is good, smart and decent, and knowledgeable. Unlike Xiao Shilang's second daughter who is playful, Never listen to Mr.

Say it and pass the tea to Xie Yu.

After Xie Yu received the tea, he put the tea aside, without looking at it, and looked at Concubine Yan with cold eyes: "Concubine Shen is on good terms with Miss Shen, naturally I think she is good, you and Xiao Kunning have always been at odds, no matter how smart she is, she will not into your eyes. People are like this, they only help those who are beneficial to them.”

Yan Ruyu, who was pouring tea with her head down, froze. Xie Yu didn't give her face so much. After the tea was filled, she immediately shot back: "Teacher was joking, I heard that you also like Xiao Kunning very much. Could it be that you only help those who are beneficial to you?" people."

Xie Yu said: "I didn't help her, the imperial concubine is so concerned about this matter, why don't you help me choose someone?"

The atmosphere in the hall was stiff, Xie Yu had a smile on his lips, but his eyes were as cold as an abyss, and he just calmly stared at Yan Ruyu opposite.

Zhao Mian noticed Xie Yu's unusual attitude. He thought there was a reason for the aggressiveness of the person who used to get along well in the past. He attributed the reason to the noble concubine.

The emperor put the teacup aside and said unhappily: "The imperial concubine will go to the palace first, and I still have something to talk to the grand master."

Yan Ruyu felt that she was not Xie Yu's opponent, and knew that the emperor coveted Xie Yu's beauty, so she stood up with a smile on her face: "The concubine is going back first."

Xie Yu got up to see her off, and Zhao Mian signaled her to sit down: "The imperial concubine is ignorant, so don't worry about it."

"The minister didn't care."

Zhao Mian looked puzzled, and said: "Someone said that Yan Xiang's power in the dynasty was compared to that of the first emperor..."

The emperor hesitated to speak, looking very embarrassed.

As a subject, Xie Yu couldn't pretend to be dumb, so he could only comfort him: "Your Majesty is a wise king, and there is nothing wrong with his appearance."

"There's nothing wrong with that? Do you know how my aunt Leyang died?" Zhao Mian looked embarrassed, and the scene 23 years ago came to mind.He was only five years old at the time, and he went to play in Emperor Gaozong's palace, and saw the palace guard leading Aunt Leyang into the palace.

In the extremely luxurious palace sat her mother and the queen step-by-step. After Aunt Leyang entered the palace, she sat upright and said nothing, and the queen step-by-step poured wine herself and laughed and said, "The princess is unparalleled. I don't know if there is a good match?"

Aunt Leyang was coaxed to drink a glass of wine. Not long after, she saw her uncle rushing into the palace. There was a sound from inside, as if the dishes had been broken. Empress Empress and mother came out in a panic, while uncle stayed inside .

He didn't know what happened, and when he wanted to go forward to ask, the voice of a woman shouting came from the hall, shouting for help and being presumptuous.

The mother tricked her aunt into getting drunk and talking nonsense, and the uncle never went in.

When Aunt Leyang died and he grew up, he realized that he was not drunk, but that the Empress had drugged Aunt Leyang and made her uncle rape her.

The aunt was hit hard, not to mention seizing the throne, and later she was so crazy that she couldn't even recognize people.

The emperor said something wrong, Xie Yu also pretended not to hear, and still praised Yan Xiang: "Your Majesty ascended the throne, Yan Xiang made great contributions, and is your uncle, and now his daughter is also your imperial concubine, the glory of the Yan family It's all about you."

Zhao Mian clenched his fists with a sullen look on his face. The Empress Dowager's movements became more and more violent. The prince was repeatedly in danger in the harem. If he endured it any longer, he would be useless.But Xie Yu on the opposite side is different. She is as pure as a white lotus on a snow-capped mountain, and as holy as a goddess.

He has the confidence to conquer this woman, and he is not afraid of exposing the scandals of the year, so he said helplessly, "Bi Shu is indeed Yan Xiang's daughter."

Xie Yu couldn't help but sneered: "Your Majesty, what does Princess Gaoyang say is right?"

Zhao Mian nodded, "This matter is too absurd."

Xie Yu calmly said: "I am all ears."

****

When Xiao Kunning left the mansion, Luo Shi couldn't help saying a few words: "I went to play as soon as I got back, and it was still at night, so why did you agree?"

Xiao Mingwang happened to be back home, Xiao Kunning immediately pushed him out: "Father is back, and mother said that she misses you, so let's go first."

Luo family's face turned red, feeling ashamed that Xiao Kunning turned his back on the army, he held the handkerchief and walked towards the inner courtyard, ignoring the two sisters.

Xiao Wenxue gave Aning a thumbs up, and the two got into the carriage together.

When they arrived at Gaoyang Prince's Mansion, Zhao Can greeted him sullenly, held Xiao Kunning's hand and sighed: "Lord Wen is here, and I had a long conversation with Dad in the study, and I overheard a few words about Leyang Aunt's business."

Gaoyang Prince's Mansion is elegant, with lively greenery in its layout, spreading greenery everywhere, similar to Zhao Can's personality.

Zhao Can said something unhappily, and Xiao Wenxue recalled the events in the previous life, Shen Rui made Aning the empress for the emperor, dug up the bones of Princess Leyang in the harem, and made him the emperor.

Many people disagreed, how could the dead of the previous dynasty be established as the emperor, but the officials couldn't resist Shen Rui, and they still watched Shen Rui worship Leyang.

As soon as the news came out, the whole country was in an uproar, but even so, Bi Shu did not appear.

What does the appearance of Bishu mean in this life?

When walking towards the backyard, they met King Gaoyang and Wen Yuke. The two of them paused. Wen Yu could see the pink and white girl, and his heart fluttered.With a smile on the corner of Xiao Kunning's lips, he first saluted King Gao Yang, and then gave way half a step to the side.

King Gaoyang saw that Wen Yuke was about the same age as the Xiao sisters, and kindly asked Wen Yuke to stay: "Master Wen, if you have nothing to do, why don't you stay and have a banquet with the girls, so we can get to know each other better."

Wen Yuke is such a clear-cut court, ordinary people want to make friends.

Zhao Can blinked his smart eyes. It's not easy for Dad to refuse, so he reluctantly agreed: "Will Mr. Wen drink alcohol? We have a drinking order tonight, and it would be interesting to have you alone."

Xiao Kunning was also curious, and couldn't help staring at the person opposite.

Wen Yuke's face turned slightly red, and he lowered his eyes to stare at his feet: "My lord speaks, and I obey orders."

King Gaoyang smiled and praised a few words, then left alone.

Xiao Wenxue felt that fate could not stop her, no matter where she went, she could meet Wen Yuke, on the contrary, Xie Yu never met him once.Thinking of Xie Yu, she pulled Zhao Can and asked, "Is sir coming today?"

The voice of the question was so low that Zhao Can barely understood, and nodded blankly: "Please, but I don't know if you will come or not. It's fine if you don't come, we can be more comfortable."

Xiao Wenxue couldn't help it, the relationship between Aning and Master Wen was getting closer and closer, not only did they have an affectionate look, but also Aning liked that box of lip balm very much.

Prince Gaoyang's mansion had a banquet in the Tingfeng Pavilion in the backyard, and flowers would be placed on the porch, and a barbecue wooden frame was placed in the yard.Zhao Can was very happy, pointing to several chefs, said happily: "I invited this from Jiangnan, I heard that it is popular to eat like this in Jiangnan."

Xiao Kunning understood that this was brought out by Zhao Xiran, and he ate it with bamboo sticks. The delicious food and wine were paired with roast leg of lamb, which was delicious and comfortable.

After several people walked out, they could smell the strong fruity aroma. Zhao Can opened a jar of wine and poured four cups, and asked the maid to deliver it to the other three. He said happily, "This is the wine from the Zhao family in Jiangnan. drink."

Xiao Kunning drank from childhood to adulthood, Zhao Xiran said that he could delay aging, but he didn't know if it was true or not.

Wen Yuke took a sip, and seeing Xiao Kunning drank it in one gulp, he also drank the rest of the wine. The little princess on the opposite side said again: "The things in the Zhao family in Jiangnan are very novel, and I even asked someone to buy a bag. Scented tea, I heard that drinking it can beautify the skin, I don’t know if it’s a lie.”

After drinking the wine, two or three girls came intermittently, but Xie Yu didn't come over after waiting for a long time.

Zhao Can said cheerfully, "Mr. probably won't come over, let's have a banquet."

As soon as he finished speaking, he happily pulled Xiao Kunning towards the barbeque place. The rest of the girls were not curious when they saw Wen Yu.

Xiao Kunning took a sip slowly. These girls were all confused by the good words from the outside, and they were very optimistic about this Mr. Wen. She smiled and talked with Wen and Ke: "I heard that Mr. Wen is engaged?"

Wen Yuke stopped drinking and shook his head slowly: "No."

Xiao Wenxue said again: "Today Shen Shangshu's daughter scolded Aning for shamelessly destroying your marriage with the Zhou family."

The words were obvious, and Wen Yu understood it without thinking, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I caused trouble for her, and I will deal with it."

A sarcastic smile flashed across Xiao Wenxue's pretty face, and she did not hide her dislike: "A-Ning is simple-minded, many people misunderstand her, and the Wen family's mouth is too dirty, I think the Taifu knows it I will let it go, after all..." She paused for no reason, her eyes slowly fell on Aning outside, her tone became much colder: "Teacher values ​​Aning."

Biting the word valued deeply, Wen Yuke's heart trembled, and he said, "This matter is indeed my fault."

People admitted their mistakes very quickly, without even finding a reason, Xiao Wenxue died down.

Zhao Can was greedy for glasses, drank a lot of wine, staggered around the corridor, holding a white porcelain cup in his hand, recited an ancient poem while shaking his head, and just swayed in front of Xiao Kunning.

Xiao Kunning drank a few glasses of wine, her face was stained red, she licked the corners of her moist lips, which looked like bright red fruits under the light, and looked at Zhao Can with her cheeks.Zhao Can poked the tip of her nose: "Sister reminds me of a poem."

Xiao Wenxue's eyelids trembled, drunks tend to make trouble, when Zhao Can wanted to pull the two of them apart, Zhao Can moved closer to Xiao Kunning, and muttered: "Jianjia is pale and dew is like frost, the so-called Yiren is on the side of the water."

Xiao Kunning's eyes were misty, and she didn't blink after hearing this sentence, as if she didn't hear this sentence, she kindly stuffed a piece of roasted lamb into her mouth.

Zhao Can threw it away and muttered a few words: "It's not delicious, not as fragrant as my sister."

The most troublesome thing for Xiao Wenxue still happened, she stretched out her hand to pull the two of them away, but Zhao Can refused, holding Xiao Kunning's hand and insisting on going over to tell her a word: "My sister smells very good, I like it... "

Xiao Wenxue covered her mouth in time, and ordered the maid to send the princess back, and when she turned around to put Xiao Kunning in place, she didn't want to have her hands stretched out.

The plain robes are not stained with dust, and the wrists are slender.

It's Xie Yu.

Xiao Wenxue took the initiative to let go, Xiao Kunning sat back on the ground crookedly, raised his head and looked at Xie Yu: "Prime Minister..."

Xie Yu frowned, "You're drunk."

Xiao Kunning covered her forehead, and rubbed the fair skin on her forehead with the back of her hand until it turned red. Xie Yu held her hot hand, and helped her up without thinking: "Send you back."

"Go back to the central palace, I don't want to go back..." Xiao Kunning pushed her away for no reason.

Xie Yu was not annoyed, and grabbed her hand firmly: "Go back to Xiao's mansion."

Xiao Kunning struggled to break free, and instead poked Xie Yu's forehead with his hand: "I have done too many bad things, be careful of being knocked on the door by ghosts in the middle of the night."

Xie Yu grabbed her and poked his hand: "Only you can knock on the door."
