Hua Xiwan didn't expect Yan Jinqiu to react like this, she blinked, but couldn't find the right words to say for a while.
She didn't speak, it didn't mean that Yan Jinqiu had nothing to say, he played with her delicate fingers. "To be honest, when the emperor gave me the marriage, I was more happy than angry."
Hua Xiwan smiled at him without speaking.
"Compared to Yan Boyi marrying a Hou's daughter who has an empty name but no real power, the Marquis of Yi'an is much more valuable than the Hou's," Yan Jinqiu said with a sarcastic smile, "They always think that I Such a person will definitely want to match a peerless beauty. So he is eager to match us, not for anything else, but to make me and the Nie An Marquis become enemies."
Hua Xiwan pulled her hand out of Yan Jinqiu's palm, and said with a half-smile, "I didn't think about it, you think a lot."
"Could it be that you haven't thought about it?" Yan Jinqiu didn't mind Hua Xiwan's white eyes, so he simply sat down beside her, "On the day we got married, when I took off the hijab, I dropped a big one. Determined, even if you are really ugly and your facial features are crooked, I will treat you well. After all, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be involved in this battle. With the prestige of the Yi'an Marquis, you can find someone to follow The man of your life, instead of marrying into the royal family, and possibly being ridiculed by others because of his appearance."
Hua Xiwan lowered her head to play with an opal without speaking, and listened carefully to his inner confession.
"After taking off the hijab and seeing your face, my heart is not as calm as it seems," Yan Jinqiu stroked her hair and sighed, "But sometimes I would rather you look ordinary."
"I'm so sorry, I don't have a flexible face." Hua Xiwan patted his hand away, and moved aside in disgust, "I don't dislike you for attracting bees and butterflies, you still You mean I look like?"
"It's not that I hate it, I just feel worried," Yan Jinqiu grabbed her hand, "I always feel uneasy in my heart. Do you understand this feeling?"
After staring at him for a long time, Hua Xiwan smiled and shook her head: "I'm so sorry, I don't seem to understand."
Seeing her like this, Yan Jinqiu felt relieved and smiled: "If you don't understand, I will let you understand one day."
The footsteps of the servants were deliberately aggravated outside, and soon the two heard Mu Tong begging outside.
"Come in," Yan Jinqiu and Hua Xiwan adjusted their clothes and sat down on the soft couch. As for the pile of precious gems, they were thrown aside.
"My lord, wangfei, Xiaoxiao caught a suspicious maid in the mansion. I don't know what to do with it?" Mu Tong knew in his heart that Xiaoyu was informed by the maid next to the princess. If he did not mention it in front of the prince and the princess , that would be stupid.
"Servant?" Hua Xiwan raised her eyebrows, "Where did you serve?"
"Back to the princess, this little jade was originally a maidservant outside the study, and was arranged to serve at the second gate some time ago," Mu Tong said respectfully, "According to the investigation, this little jade was sold to the mansion a few years ago. Why be honest and honest."
"Those who seem to be honest in this world are often the biggest villains," Yan Jinqiu said calmly. "Since she doesn't want to confess, you should interrogate her carefully, and she will always reveal something."
Hua Xiwan picked up the teacup and sipped the tea lightly, but did not respond at all to Yan Jinqiu's words.
Mu Tong glanced at the prince and the princess, knowing what he knew, he bowed and retreated.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather gradually cooled down. Because there was no male master in the Linping County Lord's Mansion, it became colder day by day. The servants who served were even more cautious, lest they angered the county master and suffered a slap in the face.
"Are these things sent from Prince Xian's mansion?" Linping County Lord took the gift list from his servants. The handwriting on it was graceful and elegant, not like a man's handwriting. Hua Xiwan's overly beautiful face appeared in her mind, Linping County Lord put down the list and said indifferently, "Prepare a return salute to Prince Xian's mansion, and say that I thanked their princess for their concern."
"County Lord, why don't you..." The maid next to her was a little anxious, Xian Wang's mansion was the county owner's maiden home, and now that the county horse has gone again, why should the princess be so stiff with her maiden family
"Mommy, you don't need to persuade anymore," Linping County Lord said with a wry smile, "I have no way back, these gifts are generous, but they are all for children, and the person who gave them is also Fahrenheit, don't you understand? ?"
"How could Prince Xian do this, you are his fellow sister, how could he help you without caring about your family?" Mammy was a little unwilling, "Even if Shun Anbo and you are not a compatriot, we will respect you in front of you. Respectfully call me sister."
"What kind of thing is he? He's just a concubine," Linping County Lord said disdainfully, "You don't have to tell him in front of me in the future, even if I don't get along with Yan Jinqiu, I can't be with a concubine sister. Dear brother."
Mammy fell silent when she heard the words. She also knew what the old prince did back then, so she couldn't persuade her any more, she could only sigh.
"Fahrenheit, I originally thought she was just a beautiful woman, but now it seems that she is very good at superficial skills," Linping County Master sarcastically picked up the gift list that he had thrown aside, "Come on, take all these Put it in the library." She was not short of such a thing in the county master's mansion.
What qualifications does Fahrenheit have to sympathize with her
The rain has been falling intermittently. I don’t know if it was because of the weather or the assassination of a horse in Linping County. Everyone in the capital, from the officials down to the common people, was in danger. As long as it was dark, there were beating men and guards patrolling the Weiwei Temple. Not a few figures were seen.
Even the officials who were going to go to court in the morning had twice as many servants with them. The carriages were also reinforced with a thick layer of copper plates, and the doors of the cars were replaced with sliding doors from curtains.
The atmosphere of panic in the capital made Emperor Qilong furious. At the feet of the dignified emperor, the horse was assassinated not far from his own mansion. This kind of gangster was provoking him, the emperor, and hitting him and the prince in the face.
No one in the capital knew that Luo Zhongzheng was the brother-in-law of King Xian, but he was very estranged from King Xian. Instead, he was very close to the prince. On the night of his assassination, everyone knew that he had just come out of the prince's mansion.
Emperor Qilong once suspected that it was under the hands of Yan Jinqiu, but when he thought of Yan Jinqiu's fascination with calligraphy and painting, he had long been estranged from the Lord of Linping County. The calm attitude made Emperor Qilong subconsciously rule out his suspicion.
On the other hand, Yan Boyi had a lot of prestige in the court, and he was a person with a deep heart, and he was more able to arouse the suspicion of Emperor Qilong. In particular, he heard that the two firework women who had been killed before had left the cloth on Yan Boyi's body.
Maybe others will think that a fool would leave such obvious evidence and wait for others to doubt it, but there are also smart people who deliberately leave this kind of thing so that people don't doubt him.
With Yan Boyi's method, it is very possible to do such a thing.
In this case, Emperor Qilong was unwilling to hand it over to Yan Boyi to investigate, so he simply transferred Yan Boyi from Dali Temple to the Ministry of Industry, leaving others to be suspicious and unwilling to let the other party stay in such an important position.
"Are there any young and useful people in Weiwei Temple?" Emperor Qilong Xuan came to Weiwei Temple to ask about the situation of Weiwei Temple.
When Dali Siqing heard the words, he had already made countless circles in his heart. Now that the emperor was interested in it, he was afraid that it was a disaster rather than a blessing, so he hesitated a little and recommended Zhang Hou, Shaoqing.
"Zhang Hou?" Emperor Qilong recalled it in his mind, "Is that the young man who restrained the horse last time when the uncle scared the horse?"
"Your Majesty, it is this person." Dali Siqing cupped his hands and said, "This person is upright, although sometimes unreasonable, but he is very conscientious."
"Well, what Dali Temple needs is such a person. If that's the case, let him go to Dali Temple to investigate this case." Emperor Qilong had already quickly found out about Zhang Hou's background and relationship in his mind, and confirmed the family background of this person. Generally speaking, he doesn't belong to any faction, "When he arrived at Dali Temple, he still held the post of Shaoqing."
Although the titles are all Shaoqing, the name of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple is much thicker than that of the Shaoqing of Weiwei Temple. But at the moment, many people sympathize with Zhang Hou, who did not have a good relationship with his superiors.
After all, if he was his Weiwei Temple Shaoqing well, he would still be able to keep his position in a safe and stable manner, but now he is appointed as the Dali Temple Shaoqing, and he is also responsible for the assassination of a horse in Linping County. Life is still two.
The change of position in the DPRK is too far away for Hua Xiwan. After she talked to Yan Jinqiu, she lived a more comfortable life. She even built a weapon rack in the yard, although she followed the Lu family’s aunts and aunts She has only learned the palm technique and whip technique, but this does not prevent her from putting these things in the yard.
According to what she said, it was to put something in the yard to ward off evil spirits, but Yan Jinqiu had no choice but to let someone put some weapons that looked majestic but did not have a blade for the beautiful lady to laugh.
What's more, he knew that Hua Xiwan was not an unreasonable person, she must have her reasons for putting these things.
The so-called lover's eyes are Xi Shi, that is, many people tend to think the people they like in a better direction. In fact, Hua Xiwan insisted on putting up a weapon rack. She had no other intention at all. She just felt that every time she practiced martial arts in the yard, such a rack would be more atmospheric.
But when she doesn't practice martial arts, she asks the servants to put things away, and only put them out when she is practicing martial arts, so it's not shocking at all.
As for why there are rumors that Princess Xian beat Wang Xian with a whip, it is unknown.
