The technology is not good, but the confidence is very sufficient.
Under the guidance of Yan Jinqiu, the second arrow still fell outside the pot, she said helplessly: "It seems that I have no hope of becoming a master pot pitcher in this life."
As soon as this statement came out, the female family members laughed out loud, Yan Jinqiu also shook his head with a smile, and said to everyone: "I'm getting closer and closer to a thousand cups of not getting drunk." He drank three glasses of wine.
Linping County Lord looked at the three empty wine glasses in the tray, and immediately felt that the wine he had just drank made his throat a little uncomfortable, and even his tongue became bitter.
After the excitement, everyone went to the front hall to eat. After the meal was full, I began to enjoy the opera and listen to the music. Just halfway through, the eunuch in the palace came to pass the Queen's order, and called Duanhe Princess and Linping County Lord into the palace.
Since the host was leaving, the guests naturally had no reason to stay and play, and everyone got on the carriage and left the Princess Villa.
Hua Xiwan sat in the carriage, looking at the lively streets, not looking at Yan Jinqiu's face: "Jinqiu, did the eldest sister misunderstand me?"
Yan Jinqiu held her hand: "Don't think too much."
Hua Xiwan looked back at him, smiled and said nothing.
"You are the mistress of Xianjun Wang's mansion, it doesn't matter if others misunderstand you, as long as I don't misunderstand you, it's fine," he stretched out his hand to support the hairpin on her temples, "I only believe what I want to believe, what about others? not my business."
This means that he will not take other people's words to heart, nor will he be influenced by others, and is still willing to protect her
Hua Xiwan was still just laughing. She knew that Yan Jinqiu was not as simple as it seemed, and Yan Jinqiu also let her discover this intentionally or not. Did Yan Jinqiu hope that he would stand on the same front as him? It's a pity that she is too lazy, how can someone who is unwilling to stand even go to the battlefield
As soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of the Prince's Mansion, Hua Xiwan saw the carriage of Uncle Hua's house parked at the gate. She paused slightly, glanced at Yan Jinqiu beside him, and walked into the gate of the Prince's Mansion with him. .
illusion
Sure enough, as soon as Hua Xiwan and Yan Jinqiu entered the house, someone came to report that the second wife of Huafu had been at the house for nearly two hours.
"I see," Hua Xiwan said directly without waiting for Yan Jinqiu to speak: "Jinqiu is busy, I'll take a look at Second Aunt." This matter is much simpler if only she comes forward, if Yan Jinqiu gets involved, It's not an easy thing to pull away.
Yan Jinqiu, who was usually reluctant to leave Hua Xiwan at this time, didn't hesitate, nodded and took Mu Tong and others to other courtyards, which was equivalent to leaving the matter to Hua Xiwan to make decisions.
"I'm going to the study and let me know if there is anything." Yan Jinqiu almost didn't say it directly, don't be afraid, even if there is something, he will bear it.
Hua Xiwan nodded, and then asked her servants to tell Mrs. Zhang, ask her to wait in the side hall, and go to the inner room to change clothes before meeting the guests.
"Princess Princess, is the second wife coming here now because of the murder of Young Master Zhang?" Zishan chose a butterfly-winged golden jade hairpin to fix Hua Xiwan's hair bun, "Second wife Xiang is from a famous scholar in Xuzhou, look. If you don't come from a family of military generals, why do you need to ask for help now?"
"When you are alive, you will inevitably encounter things that bend your waist, so don't look down on others by relying on your identity. The old people often say that in thirty years Hedong and thirty years Hexi, that's how it is," Hua Xiwan did not blame Zishan for her harsh words. , Her Aunt Zhang's usual demeanor is indeed not attractive. She has only learned the loftiness of a scholar, but she does not have the character and talent of a scholar, so what is there to be proud of
Putting on the earrings, Hua Xiwan touched the blood jade pendant and said casually, "Let's go."
She doesn't actually have a big heart. She has seen Zhang's contemptuous attitude towards her mother all these years. If such a "relative" can repay her grievances with virtue, it will be strange.
The front hall of the Prince's Mansion was in the side hall. Looking at the furnishings in the hall, Mrs. Zhang's hand trembled a little while holding the teacup. Seeing her like this, Hua Yiliu held her hand and said, "Mother, don't worry, my cousin will be here soon."
"Yiliu, wait and talk to Princess Princess, she has always treated you girls very well, she will definitely think more about what you say," Zhang Shi knew in his heart that Hua Xiwan's contemptuous behavior towards his sister-in-law over the years was despised by Hua Xiwan. In her eyes, although this girl is not a talkative temperament in recent years, it can be seen from her indifferent attitude towards herself that she keeps these things in mind.
Hua Yiliu felt a little bitter in her heart. Her mother brought her out today, probably because she wanted her to plead with her cousin. Listening to her mother's instructions, she felt a little embarrassed. They are both daughters of the Hua family. Because her grandfather was a famous family of Zhang family, the people who asked for marriage almost stepped over the threshold; Hua Xiwan, the daughter of the Hou's mansion, was not accepted by the scholarly family because of rumors outside and because her grandfather was a family of military generals. Hi, so no one has paid much attention to it. Although she feels that the rumors outside are too much, she is secretly happy in her heart. Otherwise, when the Princess Minhui asked her about the truth of the rumors during the Hundred Flowers Festival last year, she would not Will deliberately lead Minhui County Lord to believe those rumors outside.
She remembered that when she came back that day, she felt regretful and embarrassed for having such thoughts. It was not until the emperor gave Xiwan a marriage a few months later that she put down the guilt in her heart. The rumors were unsatisfactory, and instead, she was able to marry the Prince Xian, whom many women admired.
Originally, she was happy, but now, seeing her arrogant mother bowing down to beg Xiwan to do things, and even taking her with her, the happiness in her heart gradually turned into mixed flavors, which made her feel faint pain.
Just as Hua Yiliu was in a daze, the voices of the maids greeting her came from outside the door. She looked up and saw several beautiful maids came in with Hua Xiwan surrounded by them, carrying beautiful flowers, rich and powerful.
Seeing Hua Xiwan come in, Mrs. Zhang stood up from the chair after stiffening a little, and was supported by Bai Xia before she could salute.
"Second aunt, cousin," Hua Xiwan smiled at the two of them and motioned for the maids to help them sit down, "I went to Duanhe Princess Villa today, I didn't know you were coming, so I made you wait for a long time."
"Where, we came here uninvited and uninvited, what are you doing with Princess Princess," Zhang Shi forced a smile, "I heard my mother mentioned today's incident, which shocked Princess Princess."
"No one wants to do this kind of heinous crime. I also ask Second Aunt to mourn and change," Hua Xiwan sighed, "Are Master Zhang and Madam Zhang all right?"
Wiping her reddish eyes with a handkerchief, Mrs Zhang's voice was a little hoarse, but at least she didn't let her voice tremble: "My mother fell ill as soon as she returned to the mansion, and the imperial doctor only said it was a heart disease. My brother is the only son in the family, and his parents always love him. What's more, how can the two elders accept this kind of thing now. Today, I also want to ask the princess of the county to say a few more words for my mother's family in front of the prince. Rest your eyes."
"Why should the family say such polite words? I heard that the emperor has ordered this matter, and the king of Shengjun will lead the Dali Temple to investigate and handle it. Although the king of our family does not supervise this matter, it is still okay to ask you a few more questions. Yes," Hua Xiwan said with a slight frown, "King Shengjun has always been clear and upright, I believe he will be able to find out the truth."
The Zhang clan knew that the emperor had ordered the matter to be handled by the king of Shengjun. It would not be good if the Xianjun paid too much attention, but their Zhang family had never been very close to the royal family, and the king of Shengjun was cold-hearted. Temperament, they had nowhere to go, so they had to go to the palace of Xianjun Wang.
She wanted to beg Hua Xiwan to agree to help them figure out the case process, but she also understood that even if Hua Xiwan agreed to this matter, Prince Xian would not do it, nor could she do it, so she hesitated again and again. I just thanked me several times with a solemn expression.
"It's getting late. Second aunt and cousin stay here for a quick meal," Hua Xiwan glanced at the sky outside. "Although there are no rare things in the cold house, there are still some seasonal fruits and vegetables."
Although Zhang's heart wanted to agree immediately, she also understood that if she did, no matter whether Duke Xian would help with this, she would definitely look down on them.
"Prince Princess is kind, we shouldn't say no," Mrs. Zhang said with a smile on her pale face. "It's just that the palace has already prepared our meals, so I won't bother Princess Princess and Lord of the County."
"Since that's the case, I won't force my second aunt and cousin to stay," Hua Xiwan stood up holding Bai Xia's hand. "It's not early, so I won't send more."
"Prince Princess, please stay," Mrs. Zhang followed and stood up, looking at Hua Xi's blessings, "This matter will be laborious."
Hua Xiwan returned a half-salutation, and then sent Zhang Shi and Hua Yiliu out of the side hall, stopped and watched the two walk away before saying lightly, "Go back to the main courtyard."
After leaving the palace and getting on the carriage, Mrs. Zhang showed a wry smile. Although Hua Xiwan was polite and spoke beautifully just now, she didn't agree to anything, but she couldn't find a reason to continue speaking, and she had no face anymore. Continue to beg. At first, I despised my sister-in-law's background, and now I beg someone's daughter, which is a joke.
Hua Xiwan didn't let her close the door, and she was already self-disciplined. If it was her, I'm afraid I won't be able to do this.
"Mother, Xiwan has promised to help, so you can relax," Hua Yiliu said comfortably, "Although the uncle's matter is unacceptable, you should also pay attention to your own body."
Zhang Shi patted her hand and looked at her ignorant eyes. It was hard to say that Hua Xiwan's words just now were only nice on the surface, but they couldn't actually help, so in the end she just sighed.
In the past, she felt that her daughter was not as good-looking as Hua Xiwan and not as talented as Hua Chuyu, but at least she was a gentle and considerate person. Now, compared with Hua Xiwan, she realized that she had raised her daughter too simply, and she would marry in the future. But what to do.
In the main courtyard, after Hua Xiwan and Yan Jinqiu finished their dinner, they sat outside at the stone table while admiring the moon and chatting.
Hua Xiwan thought it was uncomfortable to sit on the stone bench, so she specially asked Bai Xia to add a cushion. She rested her cheeks with one hand and looked at the bright moon in the sky, lazily listening but not speaking.
"When I was young, I fought with my younger brother and almost fell into the pond in the mansion," Yan Jinqiu poured himself a cup of tea, blew it and took a sip, "Later, when my father passed away and my younger brother and I separated the mansion, I had people fill that pool."
Even if the concubines of other houses are not quails in front of the son-in-law, it is almost the same. It is really interesting that the son-in-law of the prince's palace can still fight.
As if he knew what Hua Xiwan was thinking, Yan Jinqiu rubbed the teacup in his hand leisurely: "My mother went early, and because she was raised by the emperor's grandmother since she was a child, she was not close to her elder sister. He is the only son-in-law in the mansion, and the servants love to flatter me a lot, but it makes my elder sister and younger brother unwilling, and they start to make trouble."
"And then?" Hua Xiwan glanced at the smile on Yan Jinqiu's mouth, "Does Father-in-law know about this?"
"Although he neglected to manage the back house, he still knew about it," Yan Jinqiu said in a flat tone when referring to King Xian, "later the younger brother and elder sister were reprimanded, and the younger brother's mother was also rejected by the father and king. In order to avoid the situation of indistinguishable between the descendants and the concubines, the father and king became more and more indifferent to the concubines, and before his death, he also stated that he would only share 10% of his property."
This matter is calm and light, and it seems that it has nothing to do with Yan Jinqiu, but Hua Xiwan looked at the gentle smiling man in front of her, and inexplicably noticed an indescribable chill.
Suspect
When she woke up in the morning, Hua Xiwan opened her eyes and saw Yan Jinqiu sitting on the edge of the bed smiling at her. She smiled and turned to avoid his eyes, lying on the soft pillow and saying, "I won't go today. Upstairs?"
"Your Majesty is not feeling well today, and he didn't open the court," Yan Jinqiu stretched out his hand to lift the blue silk sticking to her cheek, stroked the faint red mark behind her ear with his thumb, and said with a warm smile, "Get up and have some breakfast."
Hua Xiwan flung herself on the bed softly, frowning and said, "I don't want to move."
Yan Jinqiu chuckled softly, leaned over and kissed her forehead gently: "Sleeping too much is not good for your health, let's sleep after lunch."
Several servant girls in the house saw the interaction between the two masters and lowered their heads in shame. The prince of the county was really gentle and considerate to the princess of the county.
"People have more or less their own hobbies all their lives," Hua Xiwan sat up reluctantly, "Some people love power, some people love money, some people love beauty, I have no other hobbies in my life, just like eating And sleep, if you don't have these two, it's simply a life without love."
"What nonsense," Yan Jinqiu frowned, but looking at Hua Xiwan's sleepy face, he sighed helplessly, "With me here, I will ensure that you have all the delicious food for the rest of your life, sit back and relax, and you will not have nothing to live for. When in love."
"It's because Jinqiu is protecting me that I dare to say such a thing," Hua Xiwan leaned on Yan Jinqiu's lap with a smile, "probably this is called fearless?"
Yan Jinqiu chuckled softly again, reaching out and gently stroking her blue hair, his eyes seemed lingering and tender.
Hua Xiwan scratched the dark flowers embroidered on his robe with her fingers again and again, her brows and eyes smiling.
The servants in the room looked at this scene and thought enviously, the same is true for the couples of the gods.
Outside the palace of Xianjun Wang, Yan Boyile tightened the reins, turned over and dismounted, and threw the whip in his hand to Chang Sui behind him. He said lightly, "Go knock on the door."
The guard at the gate of Xianjun Wangfu had already recognized Yan Boyi, and before his servants could knock on the door, a concierge came to open the door, and a respectable steward stepped forward and saluted, "I have seen Prince Shengjun before."
"Is your County Prince here?" Sheng County Prince glanced at the steward in front of him. He was neatly dressed and polite in words and deeds.
"Go back to the Prince of Sheng, the Prince of the County is in the mansion. Please enter the palace for a while, and let someone report to the Prince of our family immediately." After a few long attendants and guards behind him, they lowered their eyes.
"You have a job." Yan Boyi nodded to the steward and walked in.
"Don't dare, don't dare," the steward's waist bent lower, leading the Prince of Shengjun to the main hall of the palace.
In the main courtyard, Hua Xiwan rinsed her mouth after having breakfast, washed her hands and said, "Since Jinqiu doesn't have to go out today, why don't you accompany me to feed the koi."
"Okay," Yan Jinqiu was wiping his hands, and when he heard Hua Xiwan's suggestion, he immediately agreed, "By the way, I asked Mutong to order a few sets of jewelry for you a few days ago, and put the jewelry in the palace's warehouse. It's all cleaned up, I'll have someone deliver it to you in the afternoon, use what you like, and keep what you don't like in your private library as a reward."
Hearing this, Hua Xiwan didn't persuade Yan Jinqiu to be frugal or that she didn't like these jewelry, she nodded naturally, "When will I be able to wear so many jewelry?"
"It's okay, even if you can't wear it, it's fine to watch and play every day," Yan Jinqiu said with a smile, "The entire palace is yours, you can do whatever you like."
Hua Xiwan was about to speak, when she saw a first-class steward hurried in and saluted the two of them: "The prince of the county, the princess of the county, and the prince of the county of Sheng are visiting."
"Prince Sheng?" The smile on Yan Jinqiu's face faded. He and Yan Boyi had always been well watered and never had any friendship in private. Now this guy didn't even send the post to him, he just came to the door, it didn't seem like a good thing. He showed an apologetic smile to Hua Xiwan, got up and said, "I'll be back when I go."
Hua Xiwan nodded slightly, looked at Yan Jinqiu's back, slowly put down the towel to wipe her hands, and after sitting for a while, she helped Feng Hanzhu and the golden hairpin beside her temples, and said to Bai Xia, "Let's go, let's go have a look. ."
Although Bai Xia didn't understand why the master suddenly decided to go to the main hall, Yiyan and several other maids waited on her out of the courtyard.
Yan Jinqiu walked into the main hall, and saw Yan Boyi sitting in the guest seat, the tea in his hand did not move, he approached with a faint smile, and saluted: "How can my cousin come to the cold house today?"
Yan Boyi got up and returned the salute and said, "Today, I am disturbing my cousin for the case of Young Master Zhang's family. I have some questions to ask my cousin. I wonder if you can clarify my doubts?"
"Is there any problem that even my cousin can't figure out?" Yan Jinqiu sat down on the main seat with a smile, "If there is anything I know, I will definitely know it."
Yan Boyi looked at Yan Jinqiu's splendid appearance, his eyes darkened and said: "According to the autopsy results, Mr. Zhang's tongue and eyes were cut off about a month and a half ago, and the person who kidnapped Mr. Zhang was very tricky. Vicious, after tortured him in every possible way, he killed him and dumped his body a few days ago. What kind of identity do you think a person in Beijing can kill and throw his body silently on the official road?"
Yan Jinqiu frowned and said: "Since this person can kidnap people, why should he throw the body on the official road, is it intentional?"
"Probably only the murderer himself knows," Yan Boyi said coldly, "I don't know what you were doing a month and a half ago?"
"What do you mean by Prince Sheng's words?" Yan Jinqiu narrowed his smile and said with a serious expression, "It's better to say some things clearly."
"Because someone said they saw you and Zhang Gongzi arguing before, so I came here to ask a routine question and ask my cousin to understand." Yan Boyi took a sip from the teacup, "I believe my cousin will definitely give me a sigh of relief. satisfying answer."
"So that's the case," Yan Jinqiu's expression softened, "cousin will not forget that more than a month ago was when I married the princess, and the day Young Master Zhang disappeared was probably the second or third day of my marriage. ."
"It's the third day," Yan Boyi put down his teacup, "you went to the Prince's Mansion that afternoon."
Yan Jinqiu thought for a while, then nodded, "In the past two years, Young Master Zhang has been outstanding in literary talent, so it is inevitable that he will be arrogant, and I have never taken any offense in his words to heart. After all, the other party is also a relative of my princess' mother. ."
The son of Zhang family thought that Yan Jinqiu was not as talented as him, and was respected by people in the capital only because of his outstanding appearance, so he often competed with Yan Jinqiu in poetry. However, even though he was not convinced, he was slightly down in the battle several times, which made the arrogant Young Master Zhang very unacceptable, so when he mentioned Yan Jinqiu, it was more impolite.
Yan Boyi also knew about this, so he stopped asking about it, and instead said, "I don't know when you went to the Prince's mansion that day, and when did you return to the mansion?"
Yan Jinqiu shook his head: "I don't remember this," he thought about it carefully, "Maybe my long-stalker still remembers, come and pass on Mutong."
"The county prince doesn't need to pass on Mutong. Although Mutong is a clever man, he can't remember such trivial things."
Yan Boyi heard a female voice coming from outside the door, looked up at the door of the hall, and saw a woman dressed in a flying crane and auspicious clouds walking in. Before taking a step, the phoenix wings on her temples trembled slightly.
"Hua Shi has met Uncle Tang," the woman in the palace dress gave him a mile before she smiled and said, "To disturb the conversation between the two of you, I just heard that Uncle Tang came for the case of Mr. Zhang, so I'll come over and listen to it. , after all, the Zhang family is my family's relatives."
Yan Boyi retracted his gaze, bowed back and said, "Cousin and sister are polite, I just came to ask."
"I have long heard that Uncle Tang is an upright person. Naturally, I will not doubt Uncle Tang's actions. It's just that this matter involves my husband and my mother's relatives, so I have to come forward." Hua Xiwan sat down on the chair next to her, "because That day was the third day of my wedding, and the second day was the day I returned home. I was a little nervous, so I remembered the events of that day very clearly. I remember that the day our prince was suddenly invited by the Prince’s Mansion, he went out. It was said that the prince wanted to keep him for dinner. Who knew that the prince would come back before dinner time. Later, after staying in the study for more than half an hour, he had dinner with me. At that time, I specially asked more people in the kitchen to add more A few dishes that the prince of the county likes."
"In this case, I will not disturb my cousin and cousin, and leave." Yan Boyi stood up and saluted the two of them. After a few polite words with the husband and wife, he left the Xianjun Wangfu.
After leaving the Prince Xian's mansion, the leader behind him followed Qinghe Road: "Prince Prince, shall we not continue to investigate the Prince Xian?"
"He had a natural expression. Although the trouble was related to him, he still bluntly said that he couldn't remember the events of the day, indicating that nothing special happened to him that day, and he didn't need to remember the time or make up. Time to deal with other people's doubts," Yan Boyi's face was slightly cold, and he didn't say the rest, that is, if this matter is really related to Yan Jinqiu, he can still make this gesture, it can only show that this person is very deep in mind. And the doubts have already been wiped clean, even if he investigates, nothing can be found.
Qinghe also felt that this matter had little to do with Duke Xian. How could a person like Duke Xian, who is so beautiful, kill him because of Mr. Zhang's words. Besides, Young Master Zhang has been disrespectful to Prince Xian for a long time. If Prince Xian wanted to kill him, he would have already done it. Why wait until the wedding day
He remembered the words of Princess Xianjun, and couldn't help saying: "Prince Princess, just now Princess Xianjun mentioned that the prince originally wanted to invite the Prince of Xianjun for dinner, but suddenly changed his mind. Do you think..." After all, please People are eating, and the guests change their minds halfway through when they arrive at the host. Under normal circumstances, it is really impossible to do it.
"Shut up," Prince Sheng's expression suddenly turned gloomy, "this matter has nothing to do with the prince."
"Yes." Qinghe lowered his head immediately.
anger
"Your Highness, are you back?" Mrs. Hou was sitting by the window embroidering sachets, and when he saw Yan Boyi entering the room, he put the things in his hand aside, took the tea poured by the maid and brought it to Yan Boyi, seeing that he looked bad , then asked thoughtfully, "But what's wrong?"
"It's alright," Yan Boyi took a sip from the teacup, waved his hand to let the waiters in the house step down, and said, "This case involves a lot, and if someone comes to the mansion to ask about the details of the case in the past few days, you just don't know what to do. Yes."
Because Yan Boyi seldom took the initiative to mention external matters to Hou Shi, so seeing that he was willing to mention these things to himself, Hou Shi was overjoyed, and then worriedly asked, "Could the murderer be a member of a noble family?"
Yan Boyi shook his head and didn't want to mention it again, "Call the next person to pass the meal."
Upon seeing this, Mr. Hou knew that he would not continue to talk about external affairs with him, and felt a little disappointed in his heart, but he still went to ask someone to arrange dinner, and waited for Yan Boyi to change his robe.
After the two of them finished their dinner silently, Mrs. Hou saw that Yan Boyi was still sitting and did not leave, and hesitantly said, "Your Highness, it's still early, why don't you go for a walk in the garden and listen to the lily of the valley blooming in the garden? And beautiful…”
"Let's talk about it tomorrow, I'll go to Dali Temple to handle the case later," Yan Boyi stood up from his chair and said indifferently, "The mansion has made you worry too much."
"What did you say?" Hou shi gently tied a mosquito repellent sachet around his waist, "I am your princess, and it is my duty to manage the palace, so why bother? It's early summer, but there's still a cool breeze at night, so be careful not to catch a cold."
Yan Boyi hummed, and after the sachet was fastened, he walked out of the room.
Hou looked at the empty room, and the smile on his face slowly dissipated. She stared out the window in a daze, thinking of the countless prince's mansions where the concubine's room was in the same room, and the two shameless couples in her own mansion. The loss in her heart disappeared without a trace.
In the palace of the Xianjun prince, Mu Tong asked his servants to secretly salvage the koi that had been fed to death by the prince and princess of the county, and then let them replace them with lively koi, and then he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In just one or two hours, it is not easy to find so many koi with beautiful scales and spirit .
"Mr. Mu, what to do with these koi?" The little servant looked at the half-bucket of fish and couldn't make up his mind.
"Of course it's buried, and you want me to teach you about such a trivial matter?" Mu Tong waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, finish it early, don't let Princess Princess see it."
"Yes," the boy did not dare to delay, and hurriedly left with another boy carrying half a bucket of fish.
Mu Tong patted the two drops of water on his robe, took out his handkerchief and wiped his hands, and said to the other servants, "Be good at your job. If anyone talks too much, they won't have to talk in the future."
"Yes," the servants shuddered, wishing to tuck their heads into their necks.
Mu Tong glanced at them and was very satisfied with their honest attitude. Then he turned around and rushed to the main courtyard. When he entered the main courtyard, he saw the prince and the princess sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, one painting and the other holding Dish nuts appreciation painting.
Everyone in Beijing knows that Prince Xian is very good at painting, and many people even take pride in obtaining paintings from Prince Xian. Unfortunately, Prince Xian rarely paints for other people, even if there are piles of paintings in the house, filling the whole room , did not use a few out of the house.
Seeing Yan Jinqiu, Hua Xiwan drew a picture of narcissus with a few strokes. After looking at it carefully, she stuffed a sweet and sour nut into Yan Jinqiu's mouth, "I heard rumors that Jinqiu is good at painting before. I thought those people said that because of your status, but now it seems that the rumors are true."
Yan Jinqiu didn't like sweet and sour things, so he hurriedly swallowed and put down his paintbrush: "But the rumors about you outside are not at all consistent."
Hua Xiwan smiled unconcernedly, stuffed another nut into his mouth, and put down the plate containing the nut: "So the world's words are sometimes true, and sometimes they are unreasonable, whether it is true or false. Right and wrong, it only depends on how the listeners judge."
Seeing that the princess of the county had stuffed the nuts into the prince's mouth twice, Mu Tong couldn't help taking a deep breath. He had been with the prince of the county for several years, and he knew that the other party never touched sweet and sour things. She swallowed without changing her color, showing the weight of Princess Princess in the heart of Prince Princess.
After viewing the painting, the sky gradually darkened. Hua Xiwan looked at the moon that had already risen to the sky, and suddenly said, "The question of King Shengjun today is a bit strange."
Yan Jinqiu's brows moved slightly, with a smile on his face: "Oh?"
Hua Xiwan had the same smile on her face: "You are the prince of the county, and his questions... seem sharp, but in fact they are all avoided." Yan Jinqiu is the prince of the dignified prince. Why did he have to prove what he was doing at the time? Does he still need him to arrest people
Prince Sheng went to the Prince Xian's mansion to question him with such a big fanfare. It made outsiders feel that he was fair and strict. Even if Prince Xian had any doubts, he would ask questions in person, but he didn't really involve Yan Jinqiu, nor would he offend him. The entire Xianjun Wangfu.
How can there be a truly just and selfless person in the royal family? If there is such a person, I am afraid that people will hate dogs and be excluded by the entire royal family. It is not like the King of Shengjun, who is not only famous outside, but also mixed in the court. Ups and downs
Yan Jinqiu's eyes kept falling on Hua Xiwan. After she finished speaking, her smile added a bit of complexity: "How did Xiwan think of saying this?"
Hua Xiwan's smile remained unchanged: "We are husband and wife, what can't we say?"
"Naturally, there is nothing to say," Yan Jinqiu walked to her side and gently pinched her earlobe, the red mark behind her ear had faded a little last night, and his voice was a little hoarse, "It's already dark. , why don't we go to rest earlier."
When the servants heard this, they all took a few steps back silently. Seeing this, Mu Tong also retreated. As a servant, the first thing to learn is to wink, otherwise, no matter how smart your brain is and how flexible your hands and feet are, it will be useless.
After the night passed, many people in Beijing knew that King Shengjun went to the palace of King Xianjun to ask about the details of the case. Although some people praised King Shengjun for being strict, almost everyone felt that King Xian was very innocent. It is possible to do such cruel things, not to mention that Young Master Zhang has offended many people in Beijing, and among these offended people, how many people can have the weight of the prince.
When the matter reached Hua Xiwan's second uncle Hua Zhiming's house, Mrs Zhang became restless after hearing about it. She found out that someone from the Prince Xian's mansion went to Dali Temple to inquire about the case early yesterday morning, and then Prince Sheng suspected that Prince Xian was in charge. Could it be because of her
She knew for a long time that no one in the capital dared to get involved in this matter. It was also on Hua Xiwan's face that Prince Xian sent someone to ask questions. Now that Prince Xian was suspected, he wondered if Prince Xian would hate them for it. the mansion
Hua Zhiming came back from the Ministry of Housing and saw Mrs. Zhang's uneasy expression, so he asked a few questions. After hearing the whole story, he was so angry that he smashed a set of tea sets.
"Didn't you push our second niece into the fire pit?" Hua Zhiming said with a blushing face, "It's easy for others to interfere in this matter, and now that Duke Xian is implicated in it, how do you know if he will anger the second niece?"
Mrs. Zhang covered her face and cried bitterly, "But what can I do? Although my Zhang family has been clean from generation to generation, they have never been involved in political affairs. Now my younger brother died for no reason, do you want him to die in an unclear manner?!"
"You only remember your Zhang family, but do you still remember that Xiwan is my own niece?!" Over the years, Mrs. Zhang has always been partial to her parents' family, and Hua Zhiming has never been able to bear the blame for the relationship between the two of them. The affairs of the Zhang family actually involved the innocent niece, and the anger that had been forbearing for many years finally erupted, "Xiwan married into the royal family, she should be careful everywhere, every step of the way, but you are a good aunt, I can't wait to find some trouble for Xiwan, Is it because you don't like her enough? If you go to Xiwan because of these things in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Angry, ashamed, and afraid, Mrs. Zhang wiped away her tears and said, "King Xian is tolerant and kind, how could he anger the second niece because of this trivial matter. What's more... Not to mention that the second niece has an outstanding appearance, the Duke of Xian will definitely be reluctant to bear it..."
"Shut up," Hua Zhiming looked at his own wife with a little tiredness. He wanted to say that he knew the face but not the heart. . He rubbed his brows and said, "Think about it for yourself, I don't want to argue with you anymore." After speaking, he turned and left the room.
"Girl," the maid behind Hua Yiliu watched the master hurried out of his wife's room, looked at the pale Hua Yiliu with some worry, and reached out to support her.
"I'm fine," Hua Yiliu pushed the maid away and straightened her back, "Go back."
The maid wanted to say that the wife and the master had just quarreled, so she must be in a bad mood. If the girl could persuade her, she would also be relieved. But when she saw her girl's face was so ugly, how could she dare to say more.
Hua Yiliu couldn't care what the maids around her were thinking at this time. Her mind was full of the conversations between her parents when she was arguing, and the respectful attitude of those servants towards Hua Xiwan when she arrived at the Xianjun Prince's Mansion. Priceless jewelry.
If Duke Xian really takes his anger out of Xiwan...
She staggered under her feet, but she couldn't stop her guessing. If she was really angry... that would be great.
In the palace of Xianjun Wangfu, Hua Xiwan casually threw an opal on the table: "Yesterday afternoon, Mutong asked someone to replace the koi that died in the pond?"
Zishan smiled and nodded: "Yes, the servant heard that the prince of the county still intends to keep you from knowing."
If she didn't know it, how did it reach the ears of her personal maid
Hua Xiwan chuckled softly, stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist, and said lightly, "If that's the case, you should just pretend you don't know, and I've never heard you mention it."
If someone is willing to show her a piece of affection, then she can watch it with peace of mind. As for whether it is a real or fake show, it doesn't matter at all, what matters is how long the affectionate period lasts.
Seeing that Princess Princess's expression was flat, Zishan didn't seem to be so moved by this, so she stopped to continue talking about it. She was not as smart as Princess Princess, so what Princess Princess said, she did what she did.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, Hua Xiwan began to change out of her brocade palace dress and put on a silk gauze wide-sleeved skirt. The incense in the house was also replaced by the cool mint scent that repels insects, but even so, she still felt a little uncomfortable with the heat. , she was lazy, and she didn't like to go out even more. If a lady invited her to any garden party
