Wu Yu

Along the way, Xing Yaxian tried her best to get close to Xie Lingyu from the side, the front, or even without moving her head, but Meng Yi reacted very quickly, with the heart of not letting her sister "go astray".

The two of them looked like fighting cocks along the way, I will be where your neck is, and I will follow you wherever you are.

Xie Lingyu remained as motionless as a mountain, turning a blind eye to everything that happened, and when the two of them were about to fight, they suddenly stopped beside a small stall selling delicate objects.

The two people around them had a temporary truce, and when Xing Yaxian saw those gadgets, her eyes lit up, she picked up a toy, and praised: "It's so beautiful."

The stall owner was smiling, and when he raised his head to meet Xie Lingyu's scrutinizing eyes, he didn't panic, turned a blind eye and lowered his head to answer Xing Yaxian's question.

The more Xie Lingyu looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong. The more he looked, the more he felt familiar. The more he looked, the more he felt that this person looked so similar—where was the peddler who bought the mask before?

The peddler was calm and unhurried, as if he had never seen him before, and he said in a good voice: "If Miss Young Master likes it, you might as well choose a few. We are a small business, and the price is naturally fair."

After speaking, he smiled at Xing Yaxian: "Besides, Miss is as beautiful as a fairy, even if I give this stall to you, I am willing."

Xing Yaxian was overjoyed by the praise, and she said coquettishly, "He's still a good talker."

Meng Yi poked Xie Lingyu secretly, blinking his eyes, the meaning was obvious: Do you care?

Xie Lingyu glared at him: What do I care about, should I care about this?

That's what I thought in my heart, but I picked up a mahogany sword tassel in my hand, and it was carved with a little fox. Looking at it with a naive look, I felt a little liking in my heart.

He asked the stall owner, "How do you sell this?"

The stall owner smiled meaningfully: "If the young master likes it, I will give it to you."

Meng Yi generously took out the silver and put it on the stall, and was considerate: "You also said that it is a small business, and I am not short of money. My brother likes it, but he doesn't like to be owed."

The stall owner looked at the two of them, and said curiously: "You two brothers have a very good relationship."

Meng Yi raised his head proudly, but was pushed down by Xie Lingyu: "My brother is used to being arrogant, don't take offense."

As he spoke, he put Jiansui into his bosom, seemingly casually said: "I see that the owner of the stall has a kind face, and it seems like old friends at first sight. If you encounter trouble, you can come to Xie's mansion to find me."

Meng Yi was finally smart this time. He raised his eyes to look at the still smiling stall owner and realized something was wrong. He stingily put the money back into his pocket and said solemnly: "Since everyone is so predestined, I won't be with you." You're being polite."

The stall owner was not annoyed, Xing Yaxian couldn't understand their charades, so she picked out a jade comb and a transparent bead, Meng Yi didn't keep that ingot of silver, and put it into the peddler's pocket.

A few people went to Xiushang Pavilion to pick out some pleasing clothes, and when they passed by Zi Pavilion for dinner along the way, they had already bought a lot of weird things.Xiao Er took them to the private room they often went to, and the three of them talked about the recent situation, spending a lot of time talking about it.

Xing Yaxian suddenly became frowning: "Recently, His Majesty is going to hold a palace banquet. Master Dengji from Tantian Temple has returned from his travels, and he said that he wants to wash him off."

Xie Lingyu and Meng Yi looked at each other and felt that it was not easy.

Tantian Temple is a national temple, and Master Dengji is the national teacher appointed by His Majesty, but with Zhonglu's unfeeling and ungrateful character, he should not be so motivating.

Seeing their doubts, Xing Yaxian lowered her voice and said, "I heard from my father that Master Dengji used the guise of traveling all over the world to observe people's sentiments. It seems that he has brought back some big news this time, but what is it? We don’t know any news.”

Xie Lingyu understood, as expected, this is what he thought, if there are no accidents in this palace banquet, it will be a good show, and there must be something, and he wants to use it to announce it to the world.

Meng Yi and Xing Yaxian took this matter as a topic of conversation, and laughed it off after talking, but Xie Lingyu calmed down, always feeling a bad premonition.

He had something on his mind, and he kept thinking about it until they returned with a full load, and then he woke up like a dream.

Xing Yaxian shook his sleeve reluctantly: "Brother Yunlou..."

Xie Lingyu took a big step back and said helplessly, "Sister Yaxian, don't mess around."

Disappointment flashed across Xing Yaxian's eyes, but she raised a sunny smile in the next second: "Who wants to mess with you, I'm leaving, see you next time."

Xie Lingyu's refusal was blocked, Meng Yi waved to her, and then took Xie Lingyu into the mansion, sighed: "Let's go, her heart is like a mirror."

Xie Lingyu was in a complicated mood. He frowned and turned around. Suddenly, his eyes froze.

Not far from Xie's mansion is Yuanxi Tower, but when he turned his head, he saw a person leaning against the window, waving his hand lazily.

Dressed in white clothes fluttering in the wind, with a smile on her delicate face, she silently mouthed to him.

"Blessings are not shallow..."

Xie Lingyu looked at his mouth shape and muttered to himself.

Meng Yi didn't hear clearly, and looked at him suspiciously: "What?"

Xie Lingyu lowered his head and smiled, and closed his folding fan: "It's nothing, I said... I have to hide."

Meng Yi walked forward knowingly, while nodding in agreement: "Indeed, since she knows what you mean, you can only hide."

"Hey, silly girl, there are so many good men in the world, why did I fall in love with you who are so incomprehensible."

Xie Lingyu squinted at him: "Yes, yes, our Mr. Meng is very knowledgeable, why is there no girl in the world with the eyes to recognize pigs, and heal your problem."

Meng Yi immediately recognized the mystery in the words, jumped over and strangled his neck: "Broken me again, you're looking for a beating..."

Xie Lingyu pressed his chin back with his backhand and pushed it out, refusing to budge: "It's you, why, want to fight?"

"I bother!"

The two of them walked and quarreled all the way, the servants seemed to be used to it, exchanged a helpless look, then looked at the world and the world, and performed their duties as if nothing had happened.

In the evening, Prime Minister Xie returned to the mansion with a tired face. Hearing that Xie Lingyu was out of the manor to go shopping today, he went to his yard first.

Xie Lingyu was reading a book when Prime Minister Xie pushed the door open.

He stood up in surprise: "Father."

Prime Minister Xie patted him on the shoulder and motioned him to sit down: "How about Zizhou?"

Xie Lingyu sat down politely and replied: "Father and mother haven't changed much. Now that I'm away from home, Xiao Er is still the same, but too playful. The refugees have been settled, and they came here specially when the child left. Send it off, I don't worry... let Xiao Er help to watch, it will not be a big problem if I think about it."

Prime Minister Xie listened quietly, a smile flashed in his eyes: "Are you tired?"

Xie Lingyu shook his head, and said shyly, "The journey is not far away, and my child didn't bother too much, how could you be tired?"

As he said that, he took out a game of chess and two chess baskets from the cabinet, and handed them to Prime Minister Xie: "This is the Warm Jade Chess I asked someone to find, does father like it?"

Xie Chengxiang loves to play chess, so naturally he likes it very much. He touched it fondly, and just held it in his hand, never putting it down: "I am very pleased to have you thinking about it, my father."

Xie Lingyu smiled, Prime Minister Xie played with it for a while, and suddenly said without warning: "Recently, I am afraid that troubles will happen again. Your Majesty's holding a palace banquet this time clearly shows that the drunkard's intention is not to drink. Although we don't know the so-called Nothing, but probably not a good thing.”

Xie Lingyu frowned and said: "Your Majesty's move is nothing more than an announcement to the world."

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

It has been three years since Zhonglu took the throne, could it be that... he wants to become a queen?

But what does this have to do with Master Dengji?

Prime Minister Xie sighed, and said helplessly, "The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, so we can only take one step at a time."
