Mu Mingtang was stunned for a while before realizing what Xie Xuanchen had done. She covered her mouth in astonishment, and her first reaction was to look at the maid behind.
The maids are used to seeing the wind and waves, and they are living under Xie Xuanchen's hands, how can they not even have this vision. They all retreated consciously, lowered their heads firmly, determined not to look at them, and listen to one more sentence.
Mu Mingtang was somewhat relieved when the maids weren't there. After she reacted, she immediately stared at Xie Xuanchen angrily: "What are you doing?"
"Didn't you ask me if the medicine is useful?" Xie Xuanchen said, "It's better to do it. Come and feel it yourself. Is the medicine bitter or not?"
After Xie Xuanchen finished speaking, he paused suspiciously, and said euphemistically, "If you don't feel it, you can do it again."
"No!" Mu Mingtang looked at him angrily, her face was already red, and her face was tight at the moment, and she said, "I think you are in good spirits, and you are thinking about these crooked ways. Do you call it recuperation?"
"Why can't you think about crooked ways when you are recovering from illness?" Xie Xuanchen felt that her words were not logical, and corrected, "Other things are boring, of course I can't be motivated. But if it was you, I would not only have the strength to do these things, but also go deeper. Some."
Mu Mingtang looked at him in astonishment, his face obviously turning red. Xie Xuanchen didn't think much about it at first, but when he saw Mu Mingtang's reaction, he suddenly became uncertain.
Did Mu Mingtang misunderstand? Did she think what he thought now
Xie Xuanchen didn't know who was thinking dirty for a while. Mu Mingtang became angry and glared at him angrily: "Idiot, what are you talking about?"
Xie Xuanchen hesitated: "Actually, I didn't mean that. But it's okay."
"go away!"
Xie Xuanchen finally succeeded in making Mu Mingtang even more angry.
When Mu Mingtang was first attacked by Xie Xuanchen, although he was surprised, he did not reject it, and was even very shy. Mu Mingtang's anger yesterday was actually more shame than anger. She was embarrassed to face Xie Xuanchen, so she could only bluff.
After a sleep, Mu Mingtang's embarrassment was almost gone. She and Xie Xuanchen were husband and wife originally, and even an old husband and wife. It's no big deal to admit that they like something.
She was quite broken, and she endured being stolen by Xie Xuanchen. But what Xie Xuanchen said later really annoyed Mu Mingtang.
Mu Mingtang realized that he was wrong and was embarrassed, but this bastard even said "but it's okay". You can be a ghost, Mu Mingtang glared at Xie Xuanchen angrily, this time he was really angry.
Xie Xuanchen is a typical nest, and when Mu Mingtang gets angry, he becomes weak. He immediately made a weak gesture innocently, and a set of movements was very smooth and proficient.
He is beautiful, and usually makes people hate it when he looks at him, but now that he is deliberately behaving, it is even more helpless.
Mu Mingtang looked at the elderly "patient" in front of him, angry and helpless, exhausted.
Xie Xuanchen was addicted to pretending to be sick, he couldn't extricate himself, and he would do anything to take advantage. In the next few days, Xie Xuanchen drank all the bitter medicine that Mu Mingtang brought, but after drinking it, he always took the opportunity to ask for some compensation.
He was reluctant to think about it, and he didn't have time to pay attention to what was happening outside. At this time, the matter of negotiating peace in the capital had already caused a lot of uproar.
Bei Rong and Ye Chao both tore apart the appearance of harmony from the previous day, and quarreled over a single clause, or even a single word.
Today, because of the border issue, the Minister of War and the envoys of Bei Rong are at a standoff. The emperor personally agreed, the border was withdrawn, and the two countries exchanged markets. But where to open the market and how to draw the border has become a very difficult issue.
Previously, these things were all acquiescence and never brought to the table. Now that the people of the two countries communicate with each other, they realize that their misunderstanding of the land boundary is not trivial.
The Ministry of War had many disagreements with Beirong. The Beirong people believed that they had made huge concessions by canceling the old coins. They would not give an inch to the border, and they would take Suicheng and Zhuozhou as the Beirong border.
Of course the court would not allow it. But this time the Beirong people didn't give up. The Minister of War was losing his hair every day. Another day, he stared at the map on the table in a daze, and suddenly swept a place name.
Qiyang.
Qiyang!
The Minister of War suddenly came up with a bold idea, and immediately rushed to Prince An's mansion with Beirong's preliminary drafting of the rules for negotiating peace.
At this moment in Prince An's mansion, Xie Xuanchen was enjoying a leisurely little white-faced old-age life when he suddenly heard a visitor, and frowned in disgust.
He reluctantly went to the front hall to meet people, and when the Minister of War finished speaking, Xie Xuanchen frowned impatiently, stretched out his hand and said, "Bring their draft."
The Minister of War was waiting for this sentence, he hurriedly handed it over, Xie Xuanchen opened his eyes and swept over it quickly. He didn't even see the bottom, and there was a slight sneer on his mouth. The Minister of War was too familiar with this kind of sneer. Before the Minister of War had time to add one or two, he saw Xie Xuanchen suddenly throw the book to the ground.
"Dogs are too bold, let them go!"
Although the Minister of War knew that this sentence was not to scold him, he shuddered with fright. He picked up the memorial and said hesitantly: "His Royal Highness Prince An calms down his anger, and the ministers also feel that Beirong is too bullying. However, Beirong refused to let them out of Suicheng and Zhuozhou, and the ministers tried their best to persuade them. ."
"If you don't want to let them go, let them go. When will it be their turn to have the final say at the border?" Xie Xuanchen's face was not good, his sword eyebrows were raised, and he was obviously very arrogant, but he did it with great vigor and unbelievable good-looking, "If they are wise Fortunately, if you don't know the fun, then I will paint it myself. At that time, it will be up to them to decide where to paint."
The Minister of War hesitated: "However, how should I tell the prince of Beirong..."
"Just tell them my original words." Xie Xuanchen said with cold brows, "Shame on your face, you are too bold."
The Secretary of the Ministry of War broke down in a cold sweat. Although King An said that he was recounting the original words, the Secretary of the Ministry of War felt that if they really wanted this ally, they should beautify it appropriately.
The Minister of War has come
Before he left, he remembered that when he came in, he seemed to hear that King An was recovering. Out of many years of official habit, the Minister of War subconsciously greeted him: "I heard that King An is recovering from illness recently. I don't know why King An got sick? Obviously, on the Dragon Boat Festival, you see that everything is fine."
The Minister of War secretly beat the drum about this matter, what was King An's body like
It is related to the future throne, and the Minister of Military Affairs should not care. Of course, the Crown Prince must be virtuous, but more importantly, health and safety. A sick king can easily breed too many hidden dangers.
Xie Xuanchen raised his eyebrows and glanced coldly at the Minister of War: "What's your business?"
After he finished speaking, he got up first and strode back to the backyard.
The Minister of War wiped off his sweat and exited, feeling that he did not look like a sick person according to the angry look of King An when he scolded people.
Then why did King An claim to be sick
The Minister of War thought about it all the way, and when he walked to the ya office, he suddenly slapped his forehead and felt that he had understood it all.
This must be the tactic of His Royal Highness Prince An. First call the disease to paralyze the Beirong people, and after the Beirong people get carried away and show their true shape, they will give a hard blow at a critical moment.
High, really high. The Minister of War praised it, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was right. An Wang was very thoughtful, and he expected to take the lead. This move was unexpected, and it was really high!
And Jiang Mingwei waited for a long time in Jin Wangfu, and did not wait for the people in the court to ask Xie Xuanji to come to the rescue.
She gradually gave birth to a bad feeling.
No, this is obviously an important plot for Xie Xuanji to show his superb political skills. Why has no one invited Xie Xuanji to participate in the negotiation so far
Could it be that she remembered the time wrong? Is it not time for Xie Xuanji to go out
Jiang Mingwei was skeptical and always felt that she had missed something very important. Until the day passed, the long summer had come, and news came from the capital that the Beirong envoys would leave the capital soon, Jiang Mingwei still did not wait for the expected plot.
When she heard the servants say that Yeluyan and the others had already prepared and prepared to leave, she groaned violently.
Impossible, why did Xie Xuanji's important plot and peace talks not happen
Jiang Mingwei hurriedly asked the servants to go out to inquire. Later, the maid brought back the news, saying that the peace talks were very smooth, and the North Rong side was very knowledgeable and did not mention any disadvantages. Now this contract is very friendly to the Ye Dynasty.
The Northern Rong side is not doing anything, and naturally, there is no need for others to intervene. Xie Xuanji never participated in the negotiations from beginning to end.
Jiang Mingwei also heard the maid say that during this time, people from the Sixth Division frequently came to the An Wangfu, and each time they came, the negotiation with Beirong would be a big step forward.
Jiang Mingwei finally knew what was wrong with her.
There was no Xie Xuanchen in the previous life, and Bei Rong's posture of negotiating peace was very high, and it cost one million years old to open his mouth. Later, with the efforts of Xie Xuanji, it was changed to 800,000.
Xie Xuanji became a national hero and was praised by the court. With this opening, it is natural to rely on Xie Xuanji everywhere in the negotiations. It can be said that many of the excessive conditions proposed by Bei Rong depended on Xie Xuanji to minimize losses.
However, in this life, from the very beginning, Sui Coin was rejected by Xie Xuanchen. With the reputation of Xie Xuanchen as the escort, the Beirong people did not dare to cross the line. There were occasional disputes. Ye Chao only needed to throw out Xie Xuanchen's name, and the Beirong people would be honest.
If they still don't change, then they will go to thank Xuanchen. Xie Xuanchen spoke too much than the Beirong people. In the end, Yeluyan had a headache. He tried to solve everything internally. If he could not disturb Xie Xuanchen, it was best not to be disturbed.
A weak country has no diplomacy, and similarly, a robber does not need diplomatic skills. If you don't change it or not, go to sue Xie Xuanchen if you don't change the Ministry of War. In the end, Beirong still has to obediently change the regulations.
The negotiation is like a broken bamboo, and Xie Xuanji is useless at all. In fact, no one thought of using him.
Jiang Mingwei was frightened to find that the plot seemed to have been completely out of control. It's not just the peace talks. As early as the New Year's Day, the plot was forcibly turned around and rushed in an unimaginable direction.
Your brother is still your brother. With Xie Xuanchen here, Xie Xuanji will never be able to make his mark.
Even if Jiang Mingwei was reluctant, the negotiation between Rong and Ye gradually came to an end.
On the day Yeluyan and the others left the capital, Mu Mingtang followed many wives and watched the team of Beirong people go away at the city gate. Before leaving, Xiao Siyi ran to Mu Mingtang on purpose and waved goodbye to her.
Mu Mingtang also smiled and wished her a safe journey. Although Mu Mingtang said that there would be an appointment later, she knew that they would never meet again.
Let's say goodbye here, if we can meet again, either Bei Rong will invade Tokyo, or Ye Chao will go north to attack Rong. In contrast, not seeing each other is the best situation for both parties.
Beirong envoys went all the way to the north, they took away a lot of silk tea, and also took away the agreement between Ye and Rong to negotiate peace. The court has been busy negotiating peace for a long time. In the past few months, basically everything has to be negotiated and made concessions. After the Beirong people left now, everyone in the capital, whether they were officials in the court, maids of the harem, or ordinary people, all breathed a sigh of relief.
When they came to the capital, the grass was growing and the warbler was flying. Now it is the end of summer, and it is the turn of summer and autumn, when there is a burst of heat. Suddenly, summer is over.
The court took a short break, and slowly returned to its daily track. During this period of time in the harem, banquets were held constantly, and no matter the concubine or the maids below, everyone was very tired. The palace was very quiet for a few days, and it was not until the Mid-Autumn Festival that news came out that the banquet was held.
It is said that the emperor is very satisfied with the peace agreement, just as the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, so we will hold a reunion banquet together, and by the way, commend the great heroes in the peace negotiation.
Speaking of heroes, Prime Minister Song, who has always advocated peace talks, has naturally contributed. But besides him, there was another person who did not appear at the negotiating table from beginning to end, but he was everywhere in the negotiation.
Then Xie Xuanchen, who frequently appeared on the stage with a strange attitude. He never showed up, but every line and word of the contract was inseparable from him.
What's even weirder is that Xie Xuanchen also claimed to be ill during this time. After he and the Beirong people finished playing polo, and after the harsh words, he suddenly fell ill when he came back. Not only the Beirong people couldn't guess what he wanted to do, but also Ye Chao himself.
The man was terrifying at times, frail at times, aggressive at times, and extraordinarily quiet at other times. And all of this happened on the same day, seamlessly switching.
Many people have repeatedly scrutinized, but still can't understand the intention behind King An. Prime Minister Song sighed deeply. He admitted that he was scheming, but he still couldn't understand the purpose of all Xie Xuanchen's actions. Xie Xuanchen is really unpredictable.
Even the emperor would not make Prime Minister Song feel this completely unpredictable sense of frustration. Just like this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Prime Minister Song knew very well that the emperor was for the sake of King An.
The matter of standing up storage can't stand the delay. If the palace does not express its position again, the people below will default to Xie Xuanchen, which will be even worse.
What is King An's body like, who is the next generation heir to the throne, whether it is a brother or a brother or a son after death, it's time to give a statement.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, as soon as Mu Mingtang arrived, many people asked with concern: "Princess An, Fu'an. Princess, I heard that the prince has been sick recently?"
Xie Xuanchen suddenly became "ill" after the Dragon Boat Festival. He also complained that his eyes hurt and his hands hurt, and he couldn't read or drink medicine. He had to come by Mu Mingtang himself, or Xie Xuanchen would die of illness. If he hadn't dared to test Mu Mingtang's bottom line, Xie Xuanchen would have even asked Mu Mingtang to feed him.
Clearly at the beginning, when Mu Mingtang had just married into the palace and Xie Xuanchen was still half-awake, his energy was really weak at that time, and he was very reluctant to be fed. It's been so long, Xie Xuanchen has completely lost his backbone.
Even the maids in the palace could see that Xie Xuanchen was pretending to be ill, but this person didn't feel embarrassed at all, he could roll around in front of everyone's eyes, pretend to be dizzy when he said he was dizzy, and a series of operations are very skilled. However, Xie Xuanchen was shameless, and Mu Mingtang wanted it. The maids on both sides kept their laughter secretly, Mu Mingtang was extremely embarrassed, so he could only follow him as much as possible, so that he would stop messing around.
So embarrassing.
It was also because of Xie Xuanchen's madness that Mu Mingtang couldn't escape for three consecutive months, and basically never left the house. Outsiders only know that after Xie Xuanchen and Beirong people played polo on the Dragon Boat Festival, they suddenly fell ill when they went back.
For this reason, there have been several conspiracy theories circulating in the capital, some suspect the emperor, some suspect other princes, and the craziest one is that the prime minister and the Northern Rong people colluded in private to poison Xie Xuanchen, who is the main battle.
There are different opinions and speculations, but Naihe has not been able to see the true master, and everyone has no way to ask for evidence, so they can only continue to wait suspiciously. Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Mu Mingtang is finally going out, everyone found an opportunity and swarmed, all to inquire about the news.
Mu Mingtang was surrounded by people, and his face became slightly stiff. She can't say that you think too much. Xie Xuanchen is actually pretending to be sick, so she can only bite the bullet and say, "...Yes."
The person who asked the question became more and more concerned: "What caused it? Why did you get sick again? How serious is the condition?"
Mu Mingtang tried his best to maintain his expression, and said, "It's not too serious, it's not a big deal. I have to worry about everyone."
"How can being sick be not a big deal." The other party said with a solemn expression, "The lord's condition is repeated, so you should pay more attention. If Princess An needs anything, just speak up."
"… it is good."
Mu Mingtang was speechless and could only respond awkwardly. Many people have been asking along the way, and Mu Mingtang sighed silently in his heart, for fear of frightening you if he revealed the real reason. Can you believe that he is actually feigning illness
Only Xie Xuanchen can do it by pretending to be sick and pretending to be such a big battle for himself.
However, the culprit of all this, the "seriously ill person" Xie Xuanchen looked calm, with a calm expression and no panic at all. Even if you take a closer look, it's really a little sick.
After the banquet, the emperor also specifically asked about it: "How is King An's health now?"
After the emperor asked this sentence, the banquet seemed to be quiet. In front of many people, Xie Xuanchen was not flustered at all, and even said with a serious face: "It's okay, it's better recently."
"That's good." The emperor said with relief, "I heard that you were not in good health some time ago, and I miss you very much. Unfortunately, I have been unable to do anything because of the peace issue. Now that I know you are much better, I feel at ease."
Mu Mingtang was embarrassed to look up at the person. Is his ruddy face and full of energy, what a patient should look like? But one dares to speak, the other dares to admit, pretending to be deeply affectionate with uncle and nephew.
The emperor asked a few more questions with concern, and Yin Yin urged Xie Xuanchen to pay more attention to clothing, food, shelter and transportation. After a while, someone came to toast the emperor, and the emperor changed the topic.
After the emperor stopped looking at them from this angle, Mu Mingtang lowered his voice, gritted his teeth and said to Xie Xuanchen, "You really should?"
"Yeah." Xie Xuanchen didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and said confidently, "They have to care about me, what can I do? I can't let them continue to worry, so let's go."
It's really justified and logical. Mu Mingtang glared at Xie Xuanchen angrily, and asked in a low voice, "Then when are you going to get better?"
"No hurry." Xie Xuanchen slowly turned the wine in the glass, and said leisurely, "The haste is not enough, and you have to take your time to heal. It's only three months. For a weak person, three months can be enough. Are you well?"
