Chapter 23

Whose knife did he make?

Qiao Yu dipped some tea with her fingertips, and wrote Liu, thank you on the desk.

Or is it a scholar?

Qiao Yu pondered, and seemed to write the Yuan characters casually.

Qiao Yu's handwriting is beautiful, and when she only writes this word, she is flamboyant and fierce.

……

Xie Jing, Bai Heyun and Yuan Zanbi sat facing each other and drank tea.

As the name suggests, Xie Jing is gentle and quiet, only a little more willing to talk than Yuan Zanbi.

Bai Heyun has been talking non-stop since he took his seat, and made up for the remaining two people's shares, "Master Yuan just said that he is twenty-four, is he married? I heard that Yanzhou has always intermarried with foreigners. Last year I I saw two girls in Lingxuan Pavilion, their eyes were as blue as glazed beads, and they claimed to be from Yanzhou. Lord Yuan, Yanzhou has always intermarried with foreigners? It is said that there are many beauties there, but is it true? If it is true, my lord will return Can Yanzhou pick me up by the way?"

Xie Jing winked several times to no avail, and finally couldn't take it anymore, kicked Bai Heyun under the table.

Bai Heyun almost didn't jump up, he was about to speak when he saw Yuan Zanbi drinking tea there without saying a word, and forcibly held back the desire to say Xie Jing.

Yuan Zan wrote: "Yanzhou does often intermarry with foreigners."

In a simple sentence, it can be regarded as an answer to Bai Heyun's question.

It's not that Yuan Zanbi didn't want to answer, but that Bai Heyun asked too many questions, and he didn't know which one to answer for a while.

Xie Jing sighed silently.

Bai Heyun nodded, and then said: "Is Master Yuan married?"

The topic of Yuan Zanbi was chosen so much that I wanted to write my preference for the Xie family on my face. Although some people in the Xie clan looked down on Yuan Zanbi who was not born in the main family, the Yuan family rarely served as an official in the court because of the Yuan Zanying incident. , Yuan Zanbi was born in the Yuan family and considered the best among his peers, Xie Jujin had no reason not to let his children associate with Yuan Zanbi.

As for Bai Heyun, his family doesn't expect him to make any achievements, as long as he lives well. This time Xie Jing met Yuan Zanbi, he didn't want to come, but because he was fined for his disrespect in front of the palace, the elders in the family were furious. He didn't care about food and accommodation, and other expenses, so he came here with Xie Jing when he was idle and bored.

The reason for coming here is just to drink and eat food, and to listen to the girl playing the pipa in the restaurant.

Yuan Zan wrote: "No."

Bai Heyun said solemnly: "Your Excellency is not yet married? Is your heart attached to you or your eyes are higher than your head? My family happens to have a cousin of the right age. She is beautiful, talented, and has a gentle personality. Master Yuan..."

Xie Jing kicked him again.

He deeply realized how big a mistake he had made in bringing Bai Heyun here. Not only would he not get closer to Yuan Zanbi, but he would also make Yuan Zanbi feel that they were all sick.

Yuan Zanbi smiled at Xie Jing and said, "Is Master Bai married?"

Bai Heyun didn't know why the topic suddenly fell on her, and said, "No."

"Why not get married?" Yuan Zan asked.

Bai Heyun was momentarily stopped by the question, but actually remembered it.

Xie Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Xun Su's personality is a bit out of character, please don't take offense, Mr. Yuan."

Yuan Zanbi shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Lord Bai's character reminds me of a friend."

Bai Heyun returned to his senses and said, "Which friend?"

Among the people Yuan Zanbi knew, Qiao Yu was the one who talked the most, so he said solemnly, "Qiao Yu."

The smile on Bai Heyun's face froze.

Xie Jing couldn't help laughing, Yuan Zan's pen was so serious that Xie Jing wanted to suspect that he was beating around the bush and swearing at others, but she couldn't find a reason.

Bai Heyun was very depressed.

He really couldn't think of any similarities between him and Qiao Yu.

If you have to say alike, the only thing is that both of them are officials in the court, and they are both men.

Bai Heyun leaned against the railing, listening to the little girl downstairs playing the pipa.

He was distracted while listening, casually looking at the guests around him.

One girl was beautiful, and the other was even more luxurious. The two looked more than ten years apart, and they were lured to the private room on the second floor by the clerk.

Why are these two so familiar?

He took a closer look, the older one was the eldest princess Liu Changning, and the younger one should be... the fifth princess Liu Anping?

Bai Heyun smiled and said: "This restaurant is really flourishing today."

Xie Jing just wanted to sigh.

Perhaps it was because his gaze was too unrestrained, Liu Changning raised his head and met his gaze.

Bai Heyun turned her head away in embarrassment.

The three of them sat in the private room on the second floor. From the railing, you can see how the downstairs is at a glance. You can also pull the screen over to block the view from downstairs. It's just that the three of them are men, and they don't do anything shameful. The most important thing is that Bai Heyun wanted to see the little girl playing the pipa, so the screen didn't block it.

At this moment, looking at the eldest princess, even if he admits that she is really beautiful, he doesn't dare to look at her presumptuously, but Liu Changning sees her through.

Liu Changning was not surprised to see Bai Heyun and Xie Jing together.

Yuan Zanbi clearly felt a gaze fall on him.

He looked along and saw Liu Changning. Liu Changning sneered and turned his head away.

Liu Anping smiled and said, "What is Auntie looking at?"

Liu Changning said lightly: "It's nothing, let's go up."

Why can't Liu Anping see the person Liu Changning saw? The 16-year-old girl whispered to her aunt, "You are really a child of a family, and you have an extraordinary bearing."

Liu Changning said: "Didn't you praise Qiao Yu before? How come the three of them are extraordinary today?"

Liu Anping blushed, and said: "It's just talking, don't you allow people to talk about it?"

The two entered the private room.

The man pulls up the screen.

Liu Changning said: "I don't think there is anything special about it." She lowered her eyes, "I completely forgot his brother's teachings."

"Auntie said who?"

The screen blocked the view.

Bai Heyun said: "Master Yuan, Master Yuan," he pointed to the hand of Yuan Zanbi, "I've been staring at it all this time without returning to my senses."

Yuan Zan put down the wine glass.

Xie Jing signaled Bai Heyun not to talk nonsense.

Yuan Zanbi was obviously absent-minded after seeing Liu Changning. He had concealed his absent-mindedness before. After seeing Liu Changning, he had been looking at the wine glass thoughtfully. If the Xie family servant hadn't come to Xie Jing , said that there is an urgent matter at home, and the three of them may have to sit down for a while.

Bai Heyun got on the carriage and his gaze was still glued to Yuan Zanbi, regretfully said: "Ever since I met Mr. Yuan, I have wondered why he is with Qiao Yu."

Xie Jing didn't think that Yuan Zanbi was in company with Qiao Yu, and it was impossible for these two people to let go of their past and old grievances and smile away their grievances.

Bai Heyun said: "What did you want to say by winking at me just now?"

Xie Jing said: "I want to tell you, don't make up the eldest princess in front of Yuan Zanbi."

Bai Heyun wondered: "How dare I have the guts to make up the eldest princess? That's His Majesty's sister, the crown prince's aunt, and the widow of Rong Junhou." What's the matter with the pen?"

Liu Changning is in his early thirties and has lived in Zhongzhou for a long time, while Yuan Zanbi went to Yanzhou with Wei Shuai when he was a teenager. No matter how you look at it, the two have no connection.

Xie Jing said: "Back then, the eldest princess did not hesitate to give up the seal of the eldest princess in order to marry Yuan Zanying, but in the end the two of them had no fate."

If it weren't for Liu Changning's special status, he would probably be Yuan Zanbi's sister-in-law now. He doesn't know whether Yuan Zanbi would think of Yuan Zanying because of Liu Changning, but he definitely doesn't want to mention Yuan Zanying.

Bai Heyun thought for a long time, but said: "Since this is the case, no matter whether it is the eldest princess or Master Yuan, I am afraid that they don't really want to see each other."

Xie Jing pressed her temples, and it all happened here and there.

Bai Heyun said again: "Three days later, it will be the birthday of the Empress Dowager, and all the officials will go to the banquet. For so many years, the eldest princess has been organizing the birthday banquet alone. In the past, Yuan Zanbi was not in Zhongzhou, which saved a lot of embarrassment. This year he is here, you What about the two of them?"

Xie Jing said: "I guess it won't happen."

They are not lunatics, what can they do.

Bai Heyun rubbed his chin, "There are foreign envoys coming to court at the birthday banquet this year. It is said that a prince wants to marry the eldest princess."

Xie Jing put down her hands and said, "Shut up."

……

The prince who wanted to marry the eldest princess came to the emperor and said that he wanted to marry the princess. Liu Anping and Liu Changning were both there, and the emperor deliberately teased his daughter, saying: "Anping is already at the age of Ji, if there is a prince who wants to propose marriage, Do you think I promise, or not?"

Liu Anping blushed, hid behind Liu Changning, and said: "I don't want to marry outside, I just want to stay in Zhongzhou to be with my father and queen mother and never go out in this lifetime. I think my father is tired of my crooked son, That's why I want to marry Erchen so far away and never see Erchen again."

The emperor smiled and said: "I just said one thing, but you have ten thousand words waiting for me. Well, you said you want to be in Zhongzhou, so who do you like among these aristocratic families? I think the child from Xie Jujin's family is not bad. People are also good looking."

Liu Anping shook his head desperately, the girl is cute and sweet.

The emperor said it casually, and suddenly remembered that there were many unmarried people in the court, such as Qiao Yu, such as Yuan Zanbi. He wanted to be a matchmaker for Qiao Yu, so that Qiao Yu could marry a wife who had something to do with the Liu family. The downside, but Qiao Yu's attitude was too firm. How could he get married without starting a career? He also said that he was busy with official duties, so he might neglect his wife. In the end, he even said that he was inhumane, which insulted the dignity of a man. The emperor couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to give up.

What about the Yuanzan pen?

Based on the emperor's understanding of the Yuanzan pen, he would never be as unscrupulous as Qiao Yu.

The emperor suddenly said: "How about the Yuanzan pen?"

His tone was serious, not like the joke just now.

Liu Anping was stunned for a moment, and said, "Father is serious?"

The emperor said: "Really."

Seeing the blood on Liu Anping's face fade away little by little, Liu Changning tugged at Liu Anping's sleeve.

Liu Anping resolutely said: "My son is not willing."

Liu Changning sighed deeply.

The emperor was obviously on a whim, so why bother to make the emperor unhappy in such a matter.

The hall fell silent for an instant.

The emperor rolled his eyes, as if he didn't expect his daughter to react like this, and joked, "Then who do you want to marry?"

Liu Changning couldn't stop her, and watched Liu Anping kneel down helplessly, turning a joke into seriousness.

"My son," Liu Anping bit his lip, "my son likes Qiao Xiang."

The emperor said: "Who?"

Liu Changning smiled and said, "Anping, get up, don't make trouble with your father."

Liu Anping raised his head, looked at the emperor, and repeated firmly in a low voice, "I like Qiao Yu."

Liu Changning admits that Qiao Yuezhong has a beautiful face, but his temper is unflattering. Many people in Zhongzhou are fascinated by this face, but he is not a good match after all.

The emperor asked blankly, "Qiao Yu?"

"Yes."

As soon as the words fell, the emperor sneered, "I didn't expect you to like Qiao Yu, Xiao Wu, it's absolutely impossible."

Liu Anping endured it for a while, and finally said: "I want to ask why."

The emperor said coldly: "There is no reason." Liu Anping's body trembled, "Changning, take your niece out."

Liu Changning stood up and said, "Yes." She went to help Liu Anping up, and whispered, "Let's go, don't make your father angry."

Liu Anping was about to speak, but he didn't dare to say anything when he met the emperor's eyes. He bowed to the emperor and went out with Liu Changning, holding back his tears.

The emperor's good mood for a day was ruined in sevens and eights.

"I like Qiao Yu." The emperor muttered to himself, "Qiao Yu."

How could his daughter marry Qiao Yu.

The emperor had no intention of keeping his mouth shut, so there were seven or eight versions of this matter in one day, such as His Majesty bestowing marriage on the five princesses and the Yuan Zan pen, Qiao Yu fighting for love, Qiao Yu and Yuan Zan pen competing for one person, and Qiao Yu was the one with the most It was the emperor's dog. The emperor was willing to marry his daughter to Yuan Zanbi, but he was unwilling to marry the princess to Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu's first reaction when he heard these rumors was to find Yuan Zanbi.

Because Qiao Yu has been here for a while, Yuan Zanbi is used to meeting Qiao Yu in the study.

Qiao Yu's first words when she saw him were: "If I were a woman, what would you do?"
