Never.
Xie Xuanji was hit head-on by these two words, making him dizzy and embarrassed. Xie Xuanji clenched his fists tightly, and his body couldn't help but step forward: "You..."
"Hey, what are you doing?" Mu Mingtang immediately raised his eyebrows and stared back at him arrogantly, "I am your second sister-in-law, what do you want to do when you are so close? Be careful I tell your brother and your father."
Xie Xuanji could only endure it. He had always been able to handle women with ease, and some women were infatuated with him, but he was never tempted. I didn't think it was anything before, and it wasn't that he begged those women to love him, why should he be responsible for each of them? But Xie Xuanji never thought that one day, he would hear the exact same remarks from another woman.
But this time, it was replaced by him being affectionate, and the other party was dismissive.
Xie Xuanji clenched his hands tightly into fists, and the expression on his face was very patient. Mu Mingtang just mentioned Xie Xuanchen. Thinking of Xie Xuanchen, Mu Mingtang showed a slight smile, and his eyes became gentle: "But I have one thing to say, I should thank you for my own business. If it weren't for you, I will not marry Xie Xuanchen. After all, after he rescued me, I have been looking for him for all these years, but there is no news. I didn't expect it, but it was because he changed his title. Now I am married to him as my wife, and I am really satisfied , This is a wish that I didn't even dare to think of back then. However, although I can get my wish thanks to you, if something happens, I will still stand on Xie Xuanchen's side, don't think that I will show mercy to you. "
Xie Xuanji's face became more and more gloomy. Previously, he had been acting as Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen showing off. After all, their engagement was a political show from the very beginning. Mu Mingtang gave up on Xie Xuanchen, on the one hand because her husband was replaced by Xie Xuanchen, on the other hand, because Mu Mingtang had nowhere to go.
I can only stay by Xie Xuanchen's side, trying to make him live longer.
But what Mu Mingtang is saying now, she is actually willing to marry Xie Xuanchen? Did they save lives before
What is this and what? Xie Xuanji thought so, and asked, "What did you say?"
Mu Mingtang laughed and said lightly: "You and the Jiang family only know my ancestral home in Xiangyang. After the city was broken, I went north to Beijing, and was adopted by the Jiang family. Then you know why I went north?"
Xie Xuanji's eyes changed, and he also thought of it. Mu Mingtang looked at him coldly and said, "When I was in Xiangyang, he was the one who saved me. After that, I followed the direction he left before arriving at Chenliu. You can't compare with him at all, please King Jin. In the future, don't be sentimental enough to think that I still like you, the person I really like is your brother."
Speaking of this Mu Mingtang, I remembered what happened just now, and still felt inexplicable: "Why do you think that I am targeting Jiang Mingwei because you are jealous? I am targeting Jiang Mingwei because she is too scolded. If it wasn't for her provocation today, you see. I don't want to ignore her. As for being jealous because of you, that's even more nonsense."
Mu Mingtang passed Xie Xuanji, not wanting to waste any more time with this self-assured man. She didn't pay attention, and murmured casually: "I think too much. I'm jealous because of you? Oh, it's better to say that I'm jealous of Xie Xuanchen and her. Anyway, there is evidence for this."
Xie Xuanji received a series of critical attacks all night, and first found that Jiang Mingwei he thought was not Jiang Mingwei. He couldn't see the behavior of a shrew in the well, but his carefully selected wife was just a vulgar person who talked about it. Then I learned that the person he regarded as a stand-in never liked him. Before, everything was just acting to deceive him, but he fell in love with his brother.
Xie Xuanji thought this was shocking enough, but unexpectedly, when Mu Mingtang left, he threw a thunderbolt casually.
"What do you mean?" Seeing that Mu Mingtang was ignoring Xie Xuanji, he simply took two steps forward and stopped in front of Mu Mingtang, "What did you mean just now? What happened to Jiang Mingwei and Xie Xuanchen?"
Mu Mingtang raised her eyebrows, and giggled in surprise: "Oh, you don't know?"
Mu Mingtang saw Xie Xuanji's face getting darker and darker with her own eyes. She bit her lower lip as if she knew she had made a mistake, and said with regret: "So you don't know? Then it's alright. When I didn't say it."
After speaking, Mu Mingtang didn't have time to see Xie Xuanji's reaction, and ran back to the main hall of the banquet.
After entering the Funing Hall, the lights on both sides were bright and the voices were noisy. Mu Mingtang felt that she was safe. At this time, she ran too hastily and didn't appreciate Xie Xuanji's face.
What a pity, what a pity.
Xie Xuanchen here, since Mu Mingtang left, he has been worried. Mu Mingtang didn't return for a long time, and he became more and more worried in his heart. Unfortunately, there was a wave of people toasting in front of the table, and there was no space at all. Xie Xuanchen couldn't find a space to escape.
If it was someone else, Xie Xuanchen turned around and left, he didn't care whether the face of the toast was good or not. The people who come here are all related to him.
Standing in front of the table at this moment is Xie Xuanchen's former department. After many years, they finally saw Xie Xuanchen again, and they were very emotional. One of them was full of wine, blushed, and said, "Your Highness, you are still recovering, drink as much wine as you want, and your subordinates are all done."
After he finished speaking, he raised his head and drank. Someone next to him couldn't bear to see his bold style, and said, "Old Xiong, this is the imperial wine in the palace, and it has to be tasted slowly. How can anyone serve three bowls like you? Don't be afraid to make the prince laugh."
The man known as Lao Xiong was named Xiong Ying. At this moment, his face was dark and red, and he said in a sullen voice: "I was brought back from the dead by the lord, even if the lord jokes? I won't say anything, I can only wish you a happy new year and a long life."
Ma Chong teased Xiong Ying just now because he wanted to liven up the atmosphere. Who would have known that Xiong Ying looked sullen on weekdays, but suddenly said such an emotional sentence at this moment. Ma Chong couldn't help his eyes sore, Xie Xuanchen smiled slightly, also picked up the full wine glass, and said, "I accept your blessings."
After he finished speaking, he drank it. Several other people were startled, Xiong Ying was fine with thick skin and thick meat, but Xie Xuanchen was still ill, can he stand drinking like this
Even Xiong Ying was frightened and said quickly, "Your Highness..."
Xie Xuanchen put down the glass and waved his hand calmly: "It's okay. It's just a little wine, there's nothing to interfere."
The expressions of Xiong Ying and Ma Chong relaxed. This was the Xie Xuanchen they knew, the high-spirited General Xie who dared to break into the enemy's camp single-handedly.
Xiong Ying and Ma Chong are all military generals. They don't stay in the capital for long on weekdays. They knew that if they missed today, it would be difficult to see Xie Xuanchen again in the future. So knowing that this is in the palace, surrounded by the emperor's eyeliner, he can't care.
They are people promoted by Xie Xuanchen, even if they don't come to see Xie Xuanchen, the emperor will not rest assured to use them. If so, what are you afraid of
Xiong Ying saw that although Xie Xuanchen had lost some weight, but his demeanor was the same as before, his nerves immediately relaxed, and he poured Xie Xuanchen wine cup by cup. Ma Chong looked at the toothache, and kept winking at Xiong Ying, but this guy was so nervous that he could go to the horse, but he didn't respond to anything.
Ma Chong had no choice and dared not let Xie Xuanchen drink again, so he could only keep talking to Xie Xuanchen and turn aside from the toast. Ma Chong asked about Xie Xuanchen's recent status, and Xie Xuanchen also asked about the status of other people in the past two years. After all, there are still a small number of people who come to the banquet today, and more people are not in the capital at the moment.
Ma Chong talked about those familiar names. Looking at Xie Xuanchen in front of him, he felt emotional and couldn't help recalling the years. Ma Chong said: "The last general never saw the prince before, and he occasionally returned to the capital, and every time he went to the palace to give the prince a greeting card, but the prince never received him. The brothers also asked the prince in their letters, but the last general did not dare to disturb him. The lord is recovering from illness and does not dare to push hard. At the end of this year, I will hear from people that the lord's health is getting worse and worse, and he can't even make it through this year. The end has been worried for a long time, and when I see it today, the end can finally be relieved."
Although Ma Chong is a military general, he has read a lot of books and his mind is very delicate and sensitive. When Xie Yi was still in that year, Ma Chong heard that Xie Xuanchen had an accident and rushed to the capital to see Xie Xuanchen. At that time, Xie Xuanchen looked stronger than now, but the state of the whole person was not as good as it is now.
Ma Chong is rough and subtle, and when he understands Xie Xuanchen, he can best detect Xie Xuanchen's changes. It may sound mysterious, but Ma Chong can really see the difference. If he had to describe it, it would be Xie Xuanchen from the previous two years. Although his eyes were fierce and lethal, he was very tense. Xie Xuanchen is different now. He regains his confidence and calmness. Most importantly, his eyes rekindle the desire to win.
There is ambition, there is desire, and the whole person is alive.
This is the Xie Xuanchen they knew.
Back then, Guo Rong rebelled. Although he used the banner of the emperor's immorality, when he really surrounded Emperor Gong of Hou Jin, no one dared to step forward. It was Xie Xuanchen who stabbed Emperor Gong of Hou Jin to death, avenging Mrs. Yin and breaking them. The luck of these people. Later, when Guo Rong died, Xie Yi hesitated, but Xie Xuanchen prepared the yellow robe quickly and cut off Xie Yi's retreat.
Emperor Gong of the Later Jin Dynasty, the old Emperor of Later Shu, the Emperor Zhou Ai, the Emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty... There are several famous and famous emperors who have been planted in Xie Xuanchen's hands, not to mention the local emperors who have established themselves as kings.
Xie Xuanchen has never been a quiet person. He would not be submissive to others, nor would he be subservient to others.
Now seeing Xie Xuanchen rekindling his fighting spirit, the old ministers are very relieved to see it. Heart death is much more serious than contracting an inexplicable madness. As long as Xie Xuanchen's ambition is still there, all the confusion at the moment is not a problem.
Xie Xuanchen just smiled lightly when he heard Ma Chong's words, and did not admit it, but did not deny it either. Ma Chong was really curious, and he quietly changed his position. From an angle where he couldn't see the shape of his mouth, he whispered, "My lord, why is this?"
Why is there such a big change? Back then, when Xie Yi was there, the situation was a thousand times better than it is now, and I have never seen Xie Xuanchen think so much.
Why? Xie Xuanchen also wanted to know. Maybe I used to think that I would not live long, and it would be in vain to fight, or maybe it was because of the princess.
Ma Chong was sure that Xie Xuanchen heard it, but he didn't see an answer. Ma Chong followed Xie Xuanchen's gaze and found that at the door of the palace, a beauty in purple was entering with a skirt.
The lights were shining brightly, and the palace servants and doors behind her became the background, as if they were a silent picture. The candlelight in the whole hall lit up for her alone, the ladies and ladies who shuttled around became insignificant additions to the picture, and even the singer on the stage became her foil.
She stood at the door and looked left and right, seemed to see Xie Xuanchen, and immediately walked in this direction.
Ma Chong seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to understand anything. But he at least winked better than Xiong Ying, and when the princess came back, he immediately pulled Xiong Ying away.
When Xiong Ying was dragged away, she was very reluctant, and complained angrily: "What are you pulling me for? It's hard to see the prince once, and I still have a lot to say."
"You really are a bear. Didn't you see that the prince didn't want to talk to you at all?"
"What's wrong? Why didn't I find out?"
"When you find out, the stone will turn to ashes. The lord wanted to leave for a long time, but you are blind and keep pulling the lord to drink."
Xie Xuanchen laughed without saying a word when he heard the voices of Ma Chong and Xiong Ying gradually moving away. When Mu Mingtang approached, she found that there was no one in front of the table. She felt strange and asked, "I just saw someone in front of you, why did they leave so quickly?"
"After they finished speaking, they left by themselves." After Xie Xuanchen finished speaking, he pulled Mu Mingtang to sit down and asked, "Where have you been and why has it been taking so long?"
"I went out to get some air, sobered up by the way, and walked far." After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, a subtle expression appeared on his face. Xie Xuanchen saw that he understood and asked, "Have you met someone on the road?"
"Well." After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, he motioned for Xie Xuanchen to come closer. Xie Xuanchen lowered his body in cooperation and heard Mu Mingtang say mysteriously, "I just went out and met Jiang Mingwei and Xie Xuanji."
Xie Xuanchen raised his eyebrows as soon as he heard it, who? Mu Mingtang quickly grabbed him and said, "Listen to me first. I seem to have accidentally put eye drops on Jiang Mingwei."
Xie Xuanchen looked back at her and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
Mu Mingtang relayed the conversation between her and Xie Xuanji just now to Xie Xuanchen. Of course, the unclear part was naturally pinched off by Mu Mingtang. She emphasized that Xie Xuanji did not know that Jiang Mingwei and Xie Xuanchen were old, but Mu Mingtang was one of them. The part that goes through words.
When Xie Xuanchen heard the raised eyebrows, he was really excited this time: "What does this have to do with me? I don't even know her."
"I know." Mu Mingtang smiled and held him, realizing that many people around were looking at them, he had to signal Xie Xuanchen to keep a low profile, "I didn't tell you, you should be quiet."
Jiang Mingwei went outside the hall to relax, and when she met Mu Mingtang on the road, she became more and more congested. She simply returned to the Funing Hall, but unexpectedly found that neither Xie Xuanji nor Mu Mingtang came back.
She sat for a while, waiting left and right without seeing Xie Xuanji. Because of boredom, her eyes could not help falling to the opposite side.
Xie Xuanchen sat in chief, the first on the right hand of the emperor, Jiang Mingwei and Xie Xuanji were the princes of the middle palace, second only, sitting first on the left, and the second most honorable place in the seat. In this way, Xie Xuanchen and his wife Xie Xuanji are just opposite each other.
Jiang Mingwei watched for a while, and saw Xie Xuanchen talking and laughing with his former courtier. He was very neat when drinking, and he drank the whole glass without looking at it. His neck is slender, raised upwards when drinking, revealing the obvious Adam's apple, which slides up and down, and when he puts down his hand, the wine in the glass is empty.
The young man was in high spirits and in high spirits.
Jiang Mingwei couldn't help sighing in her heart.
At this time, the five big and three thick warriors who were blocked in front of Xie Xuanchen finally dispersed. Jiang Mingwei saw a smile in Xie Xuanchen's eyes with her own eyes, as if the moonlight was shining on the water, sparkling and floating, she couldn't help following him Looking around, he found that it was Mu Mingtang who had returned.
Jiang Mingwei's face suddenly sank, why is it always her, unlucky.
After Mu Mingtang came back, he didn't know what to say, Xie Xuanchen leaned over to her and listened carefully. The cheeks of the two were so close that they almost pressed together. After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, Xie Xuanchen frowned and turned around, obviously pissed off. Many people around also turned to look at them, Mu Mingtang smiled and pulled him, trying to pull him back.
Jiang Mingwei was on the opposite side and could see it very clearly. Xie Xuanchen looked angry, but in fact his eyes and demeanor were smiling. The two of them were not so angry, they were laughing.
Jiang Mingwei watched all this happen with her own eyes, and her mood was so complicated that she didn't pay attention. Xie Xuanji didn't know when she came back, and stood behind her for a moment.
Xie Xuanji looked at Jiang Mingwei silently, and suddenly asked, "What are you looking at?"
