Xie Yuan, who is far away in Rongguo, has had a hard time recently. Although he was born bumpy and experienced many setbacks when he was young, since he came to the Northland, those setbacks and difficulties seemed to be gone.
He is a world-shattering talent, but he only showed his talent a little in the North, and he was attracted by others. Then he easily gained the trust of a medium-sized tribal leader, and then planned development for him for more than ten years. When the Rong Kingdom is established and the leader becomes the emperor, he will naturally become the prime minister under one person and more than ten thousand people. Even because he married Emperor Rong's daughter, the latter had always trusted him.
It can be said that Xie Yuan's years in Beirong have been very comfortable. Even at the beginning of the hegemony, when the situation was difficult, he was able to develop his skills to make people depend on him, and he was psychologically satisfied. After that, the tide has risen, and the prosperity and wealth later, not to mention naturally.
In the eyes of others, Xie Yuan's life has long been successful and enviable enough.
However, people's hearts are always dissatisfied, and Xie Yuan's plans are never under one person. If Bei Rong didn't have the custom of embracing martial arts, if Rong Di hadn't been so xenophobic, he might have kicked Emperor Rong himself to the throne.
Unfortunately, this was not the case, so he had to watch the "stubborn" Emperor Rong occupy a high position, and he had to bow his head to him. So day after day, the unwillingness in my heart is increasing, and the hatred that was once suppressed in my heart is getting stronger and stronger.
Xie Yuan didn't have an easy time when he was young. He was protected by loyal Xie's subordinates and escaped, but the world has fallen into the hands of the enemy. Even if the other party didn't find him slipping through the net, his subordinates were always worried that their identity would be exposed and they would be persecuted. So from the time he can remember, he has almost always been on the run, and has never lived a peaceful life.
Later, they met the Lu family who were also fleeing. Perhaps they were ill and mistrusted each other, but the two groups eventually came together. The Lu family was rich, and the century-old family was deeply rooted. Under its protection, Xie Yuan finally lived a stable life for a few years.
Of course, the Lu family's life was not easy, especially since the main family had all died, leaving only two orphan girls.
Xie Yuan is very smart and has been like this since he was a child, so while he borrowed the last resources of the Lu family to grow rapidly, he wanted to infiltrate the Lu family and annex their power. And if you want to annex the Lu family, isn't the easiest way to become the son-in-law of the already extinct Lu family? It's just that the Lu family has two daughters left, so they can't have two sons-in-law, they need to be him!
The childhood sweethearts who grew up together, and Xie Yuan's handsomeness and intelligence, easily, the two daughters of the Lu family were attracted to him. The blessing of the Qi people is not so easy to enjoy, especially Xie Yuan was still under the supervision of others at that time, so he finally chose raw rice to cook mature rice. And the aristocratic family has always been famous, even if the Lu family at that time has long since fallen, but the fact has become natural and can only be recognized.
Xie Yuan calculated very well, and he helped Qi Bo and the others to make plans before, and he was very favored by some Lu family members. The marriage was completed. He married the two daughters of the Lu family alone and became the only son-in-law of the Lu family, but he also exposed his ambitions to some people.
That was when Xie Yuan was the most complacent when he was young. He almost thought that he saw a smooth road to Japan, and even calculated the steps of his re-emergence. It's a pity that in the end, these are all in the mirror. As the two Lu family daughters were pregnant and died in childbirth, the two remaining children became the young masters of the Lu family. Among them was a boy, Xie Yuan's Identity is not so convenient.
The most important thing is that Xie Yuan was too young at that time, thinking that having a child would strengthen the bond and calm people's hearts. But he didn't know that he added heirs to the Lu family when his footing was not stable, and he became dispensable.
The suppression that followed, and the persecution that followed, Xie Yuan always remembered until he was forced to leave Liang Guo...
The winter in Beirong was very cold. Xie Yuan fell ill as soon as he entered Beidi. He only had a few loyal subordinates around him. But over the past two decades, everything has changed.
The heavy snow was still falling outside the court, and a thick fur coat was draped over Xie Yuan's shoulders. He didn't look back, just looked at the heavy snow fluttering in the courtyard and suddenly asked: "Meng Fei, who is the one who shot this time, can we still get out?"
The subordinate who had just dressed Xie Yuan lowered his brows and lowered his eyes, and replied in a deep voice, "The Lord will definitely be able to save the danger, and the situation is not difficult now."
Xie Yuan closed the placket and nodded: "Yes, what's so difficult now?"
It's just that the forces of the Lu family that have been wooed are out of control again, it's just that someone hides in secret and confronts him, it's just that Emperor Rong suspects him of the separation of the ruler and the minister... He is not the one who had nothing 20 years ago, what is he afraid of
Thinking of this, Xie Yuan stopped looking at the snow and went back to the house with his clothes closed.
It was snowing heavily in the north, and it snowed in Beijing for several days in a row, and a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the roof and ground.
Perhaps it was because of the severe cold weather that everyone stayed at home and Maodong didn't want to do anything, so Dali Temple has been a little more leisurely recently. Except for the difficult cases reported from various places, there are no major cases in Gyeonggi.
Lu Qipei was free, and the time for the next duty was much earlier than usual. When he returned to the house in the middle of the afternoon, he saw Qi Yang leading Lu Sheng to build a snowman in the yard. She didn't rush forward, just watched.
One big and one small were all well-dressed, but probably because he was afraid that the child would catch a cold, Qi Yang did not easily ask Lu Sheng to do it. She built the snowman herself, and Lu Sheng applauded beside her. After waiting for the snowman's prototype to be built, the maid found the black stone, and Qi Yang picked up the dumpling and asked her to put the snowman's eyes on it, and then added a nose and mouth to the snowman.
The little dumpling closed his eyes, and felt content, he hugged Qi Yang's neck and laughed "giggling".
Lu Qipei didn't go up until Qi Yang put Lu Sheng down. She held Qi Yang's hand and felt a little disapproval of the coldness in her palm: "Your Highness is really, you are not afraid of freezing yourself when you come out to play in the snow in this cold weather."
Qi Yang had actually seen her long ago, and naturally knew that her condemnation didn't matter. I was in a good mood now, so he smiled and said, "I see, once in a while it doesn't hurt. But my hands are really cold right now, so Ah Pei will keep me warm?"
Of course Lu Qipei didn't refute, she was holding Qi Yang's hand to warm her, and even the stove was ignored by them.
However, the warm hands that Qi Yang said was not only the case. Seeing that Lu Qipei didn't refute, there was a hint of slyness in her eyes, and then without waiting for Lu Qipei to react more, she suddenly pulled out her hand, and put her cold hand directly into Lu Qipei's neck.
Lu Qipei still had a scarf around his neck, which was originally very warm, but was suddenly touched by the ice hand, which made him shudder.
Qi Yang laughed like a successful fox, Lu Qipei couldn't help laughing and laughing, so he slapped her across and hugged her. This sudden action frightened Qi Yang, she blurted out exclamation, and the hand on Lu Qipei's neck instantly wrapped her neck tightly.
This time, Lu Qipei smiled, raising the corners of his lips a little proudly.
When Qi Yang saw it, he couldn't help hooking Lu Qipei's neck and said angrily, "Are you making fun of me?"
Lu Qipei hugged the person but walked away, pretending to be sincere: "How can there be? It's just that His Highness has been standing in the snow for a long time, and it may not be enough to warm his hands. Let's go back to the house, so as not to be outside. The cold wind blows too long to catch a cold."
I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, when Lu Qipei finished speaking, there was a gust of wind. Qi Yang was going to say something, but he was blown away by the cool wind. After that, he couldn't help but sneezed a little.
That is to say, Lu Qipei said that he immediately became nervous when he saw Qi Yangzhen sneezed and caught a cold. Before she could bring the person back to the house, she instructed Zhi Ting, "Let the kitchen cook some ginger soup, your Highness may catch a cold."
When Zhi Ting heard the words, she immediately turned around and ordered to go, but the little dumpling followed suit.
Qi Yang was wrapped in a big cloak and placed on the edge of the brazier, and the warmth rushed to his face. She did catch a cold, so she didn't refute Jiang Tang's matter. When she saw Lu Sheng following, she winked at her, which was rare and lively.
Lu Sheng was getting closer to Qi Yang now, and when he saw this, he ran to her and sat next to her. Seeing Qi Yang stretch out her hand to cook the fire, she also reached out to learn, one big and one small have similar expressions, at first glance, it is impossible to say that the little dumpling is more like Lu Qipei or more like Qi Yang.
Seeing this, Lu Qipei's heart suddenly softened, and a kind of happiness was born in a trance.
Qi Yang roasted for a while, and when his hands were not so cold, he withdrew his hands to take the oranges on the side. As soon as I met it, I heard Lu Qipei say, "This orange is too cold. Your Highness just blew a cool breeze outside. It's better to eat something warm."
As he spoke, Lu Qipei actually took out two oranges and put them on the side of the brazier to roast them.
Upon seeing this, Qi Yang immediately understood that Lu Qipei wanted to roast hot oranges for her. But what is the taste of fruit roasting? It feels weird to think about. She immediately lost interest in eating oranges. She looked at the new hot tea on the table next to her, and then thought about the ginger soup that would be delivered in a while. She was not even interested in drinking tea, so she might as well just wait for the ginger soup. .
However, Lu Sheng didn't think much about it, eagerly looking forward to Lu Qipei's roasted oranges, and seemed to want to try something new.
After a while, the oranges were roasted. Lu Qipei peeled one and handed it to Qi Yang. Qi Yang shook his head and thanked Bumin, and then handed it to Lu Sheng who was beside him. The little dumpling blinked, but out of curiosity, he took a piece and put it in his mouth.
The taste is actually not bad, still sweet and sour, just the heated fruit is a little strange to most people. Lu Sheng accepted it well, after eating one slice, he broke off another slice, but Lu Qipei and Qi Yang didn't dare to give her more.
Not long after that, Jiang Tang was also delivered, Qi Yang frowned and took a sip, soon sweating.
Lu Sheng was still young, so she had never tried too many things, including ginger soup. So when she saw Qi Yang drinking ginger soup, she was a little curious. After being discovered by Qi Yang, he poured a little out of the empty bowl and handed it to Lu Sheng with a smile: "Ah Sheng, have you tasted it?"
The little dumpling nodded without any hesitation. The ginger soup was a bit pungent when it was delivered to the front, but she hesitated to take a sip, and immediately wrinkled her face with a bun from the sweet and spicy taste...
Seeing this, Qi Yang couldn't hold back, and once again fell into Lu Qipei's arms with a smile.
