Zhifei blinked innocently, thinking to herself that you asked me to say this.

Xie Heng also gave him a look back, but he didn't look angry, but rather happy.

"Aren't you angry, young master?" Zhifei asked with some doubts.

Xie Heng shook his head, even with a somewhat smug look on his face.He folded his arms and said mysteriously: "See, Chuchu is angry!"

Is there anything to be happy about?Zhifei was even more puzzled.

Xie Heng stretched out his hand and patted Zhi Fei's head, laughing that he didn't know anything. "You fool! Chuchu is jealous! He is jealous! Look at how he managed me when we first got married."

As soon as this remark came out, the door suddenly slammed, as if to warn people outside not to talk nonsense.

Zhifei expressed admiration for her young master's spirit of making fun of hardships, and stood with her young master in the cold wind for half an hour, but was finally kicked out of the house mercilessly by Chang Ming, and returned to Xie Fei in a desperate carriage. Home.

When Xie Heng left, Chu Ning also sneaked back home.On the way home, he also reflected on himself, and he was indeed a little impulsive in dealing with the little prince in the north.Obviously, the relationship between him and Xie Heng should be the same as what was agreed in prison, but he seems to be unable to bear... a little bit tempted towards Xie Heng.

After thinking about it, Chu Ning became more and more upset, so she simply didn't think about it.

It was getting late after returning to Chu's house, but Chang Ming reminded him that the dancing girl bestowed by the emperor had not yet been placed.After all, it was bestowed by the emperor. He always had to meet him, and at least he had to stay for a few days after resettlement before sending it out.

Chang Ming first sent the dancing girl to a side courtyard of the Chu family. The side courtyard is not big, so it would be appropriate to place a concubine.Chu Ning didn't care much about the dancing girls, so she didn't care which yard she placed them in.

As soon as she entered the side courtyard, she could see that the lights were on in the room. Chu Ning asked the maid outside to inform her, and then entered the door.This room has been vacant before, but today it has an owner, and it is clean and tidy.

As soon as the dancer saw Chu Ning, she hurriedly saluted and greeted her, she knelt on the ground and trembled slightly, it seemed that I felt sorry for her.

"Get up quickly." Chu Ning said quickly.He had never been in contact with a concubine before, and he always felt very uncomfortable when meeting a concubine for the first time, so Zhuang Ruo unintentionally sat on the small couch next to him and carefully looked at the dancing girl.

Chang Ming had already introduced to him before he came that this dancer was from the north, and her name was Lan'er.Most of the dancers who were presented here were from the humble background of servants, had never seen much of the world, and were cautious wherever they went.

Just like now, even though Chu Ning had asked her to get up, she still trembled and hesitated for a while before getting up slowly, standing where she was and not daring to move.

Facing the candlelight, Chu Ning saw that Lan'er was born pretty, but it was a pity that she was sent to him.

"From now on, you will live here first. If you need anything, tell Chang Ming directly, or go to the accountant to get it." Chu Ning said softly. "I'm not keen on the affairs of men and women, and I don't have the idea of ​​taking concubines. After a while, Your Majesty forgets about these things, and I will find you a good family to accompany you with some dowry."

Lan'er trembled a bit before she dared to look up at Chu Ning.This little girl looks young, and her eyes are watery, which is very pitiful.She immediately knelt down when she heard the words, and said in a sobbing voice: "Slave... this slave is willing to serve the master, and please don't...don't send Lan'er away."

Lan'er's Daliang dialect is not bad, it seems that he has practiced it specially, but the ending sound is occasionally a little fluttering, and it can be heard that he is not from Daliang.

"Don't worry, I won't sell you, I will definitely find you a good family." Chu Ning only thought that Lan'er was afraid of being sold to a brothel, or doing some dirty work. "It's not early tonight, you should go to bed earlier."

Lan'er didn't know why her eyes were red, and she nodded inaudibly.

Seeing that she agreed, Chu Ning felt that the solution was almost done, so she prepared to go back to her room to sleep.

It's just that the matter of the dancing girl is easy to solve, but the matter of the little prince in the north is probably not easy to solve.He also didn't know how Xie Heng would deal with this matter as he seemed calm.

As for Xie Heng, he naturally returned to Xie's house after being kicked out by Chang Ming.He didn't really care much about the marriage of the little prince in the north.

First of all, the relationship with the northern border has not been good in recent years. If the relationship is not good, what kind of relationship can we have?In addition, the Northern Mission should have shown this meaning as soon as they visited, and the emperor had already considered it.If the emperor is willing, he can directly agree to the request made by the northern border today.

But the emperor didn't.

It can be seen from this that the emperor does not necessarily want the little prince from the north to marry.At least the little prince in the north will not be allowed to marry an important official in the court. Isn't that an extra spy?

He had been with the emperor for a long time, he knew the emperor well, and he was very sure of his own judgment.As for Chuchu's side... It's rare for this person to be jealous, and it's still too late to coax him when the dust settles.

Xie Heng played with a piece of fine fox tail hair in his hand, and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.

It wasn't until Zhifei came to knock on the door that Xie Heng came to his senses and asked Zhifei to come in.

Not only Zhifei came in, but also a stooped man in black.It can be seen from his standing posture that this is the little eunuch in the palace.

The little eunuch stood still not far from Xie Heng, and saluted respectfully.

"The queen sent you here?" Xie Heng guessed right away.

"Yes, the slave is Xiao Chunzi who is serving by the Empress's side, and the Empress asked the servant to pass on the news." The little eunuch's voice was slightly shrill, "It's about the matter that the lord asked before."

"Tell me." Xie Heng glanced at Zhi Fei.Zhi Fei immediately looked outside the door, and then closed the door tightly.

"The Empress has checked all the files since His Majesty ascended the throne, and found that 20 years ago, His Majesty loved a nobleman Zhao very much. This nobleman Zhao was so favored for a time, and His Majesty would visit Zhaogui whenever he went to the harem. There are other people. This noble man...is called Xie Qingwan." The little eunuch narrated without haste.

"There's more." Xie Heng clenched his hands forbearance.

"I can't find out the specific situation. I only know that this Zhaogui was pregnant later, and was sent to the palace of Qique Mountain to prepare for pregnancy. Unexpectedly, that night, Zhaogui had a difficult labor, and even brought the little prince along...no Yes." The little eunuch's voice trembled slightly, "This prince is the seventh prince recorded in the records. Because both the mother and the prince have passed away, and so many years have passed, His Majesty deliberately did not mention it, so not many people remember it."

"When was the Seventh Prince born?" Xie Heng asked.His hands clenched the corner of the table so tightly that they turned white.

"The twelfth lunar month of the seventh year of Shengde." The little eunuch's voice trembled slightly.As the eunuch next to the queen, he naturally knew what the news meant.

"Okay...okay." Xie Heng seemed to have suddenly lost his ability to speak, he stared blankly at his hands, his heart was in a mess.He waved his hand and signaled Zhifei to take the little eunuch out.

Zhifei was also shocked, but he still endured the shock in his heart, took the little eunuch out, and closed the door to leave a private space for Xie Heng.

Because he knew that Xie Heng's birthday...was also the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month in the seventh year of Shengde.He didn't know the specific situation at the time, but the timing was so coincidental that it was suspiciously coincidental.

Xie Heng naturally knew this too.He didn't know much about the circumstances of his birth.Mother seldom mentioned the circumstances of his birth, and mostly just mentioned interesting things about him when he was a child, and he never thought of asking about them before.

But now...he really had to doubt his origin.

The emperor liked the young woman with the looks of the Xie family very much. The tablet of his aunt Xie Qingwan could only be placed in the hidden compartment. Xie Qingwan was the emperor's favorite Zhaogui who gave birth in the same month as his mother.

When these clues are connected, the information behind it makes people shudder.

It was the first time Xie Heng was so flustered.He has a city in his chest since he was a child, and he is the most assertive person.Anyone who has met him knows that he is young and mature, and his mind is treacherous.But this time he really couldn't make up his mind.

He didn't know whether to ask his mother the truth of the matter.Although he believed that his mother would tell him the truth, he was also afraid that the result of the question would not be as he wished.

If it was really what he suspected... then he really didn't know how to deal with himself in the Xie family, nor how to face the emperor.

Xie Heng was flustered, and a thin layer of sweat was forced out of his palms.He stood up and paced back and forth in the room, but the more he walked, the more disturbed he felt.

He pushed open the door suddenly, but saw that Zhifei was guarding the door, guarding the door for him in the cold wind.Seeing him come out with a smile, he called young master softly.

It was snowing outside so suddenly.At the beginning of the snow, the snowflakes were still small, and they melted when they fell on the ground.It just looks like the snow will get bigger and bigger, and the dark clouds will cover the moonlight.

"Master?" Zhifei didn't know what Xie Heng wanted.

"Zhi Fei, go prepare the carriage." Xie Heng made a decision in his heart.

"Master, where are we going so late? It's already snowing." Zhi Fei never expected Xie Heng to go out so late.

"Where else can I go?" Xie Heng snorted softly, his tone much lighter, "Hurry up and get ready!"

Zhi Fei immediately understood and hurried to prepare the carriage.

When the carriage was ready, the snow outside was already heavy, and a thin layer had been laid on the ground.Zhifei brought a thick cloak for Xie Heng and prepared a stove in the carriage.

The horse's hooves landed on the ground with a clattering sound, leaving behind a series of horseshoe-shaped footprints.The carriage arrived at the small door of Chu's house, Xie Heng jumped out of the carriage, and knocked on the door together with Zhi Fei.

At this moment, Chu Ning had just finished taking a bath, and was wearing only obscene clothes in a warm room with a stove, ready to go to bed. As soon as he walked to the bed, he heard a movement at the door, thinking it was Chang Ming, so he walked over to check .

Chu Ning opened the door, and Xie Heng embraced the steaming Chu Ning in his arms with a few snowflakes following a gust of cold air.Chu Ning was unprepared for a moment, and was wrapped tightly in Xie Heng's cloak, her eyes widened because she was frightened.

"You...why are you here at this time?" Chu Ning didn't care to remember that they were still angry because of the little prince in the north, but only remembered Xie Heng's fright and surprise when he came here in the snow.

Even the wind and snow outside seemed to warm up at this moment.

"Because love is hard to control...Chu Chu." Xie Heng whispered into Chu Ning's ear.

"If you think about it carefully...you have to meet each other."
