The morning dew is still hanging on the grass, and the autumn morning is still a little cold.
Early in the morning, when the sky was bright, Yan Yan brought Shen Qi to this place on horseback, and let the horse go to graze at will, while the two of them took a steady step and punched first.
When you move, you won't feel cold, so you can't wear too thick clothes when you practice martial arts. Both of them are a simple bunt, which is convenient and flexible.
After warming up, Yan Yan took Yan Mo and started running around.
It is a very boring thing to practice martial arts. It is not achieved overnight, only by practicing hard day after day without stopping, can it be effective.
Yan Mo envied his sister's good skills, being able to navigate the wolves with ease, and being able to counterattack sharply under Yan Ting's attack, forcing him to give in and admit defeat. But when he was allowed to come by himself, he realized how hard and boring all this was.
After running a dozen laps around this circle, it was already bright.
Yan Yan took out two cotton handkerchiefs from the horse's belly bag, wiped the sweat herself, and threw one to Yan Mo. After that, Yan Mo went to the side and continued to sprint, while Yan Yan took out another futon, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to close her eyes.
As time passed, Yan Mo's face gradually began to turn red, and tears streamed down his forehead. He pursed his mouth tightly and gritted his teeth.
Suddenly, someone stabbed in the back.
The elder sister was in the position where Yan Mo's eyes could be seen, and she still closed her eyes and sat in concentration. The reason why they chose this place for morning exercise is because it is secluded and no one will come here, so who is it
These thoughts flashed through Yan Mo's mind for a moment, and then he heard a sound of breaking the air, and behind him, a person came out.
The man was chubby and chubby, dressed in a prince-regulated costume, with a lot of grass clippings on his head, looking surprisingly ridiculous.
I saw the man grinning, a dimple on the left side of his fat face, "Sister A Yan."
Yan Mo couldn't help but chuckle and let out the breath in his chest. He couldn't hold on any longer, and fell to the ground to gasp for breath.
"Wipe off the sweat to avoid getting cold." Turning to face the man, Yan Yan raised her eyebrows and said, "Why are you here?"
Seeing that the little princess was taking care of him, Luo Huaiyuan immediately hit the snake and crawled along the pole, leaned over, and sat beside her. Seeing that the other party didn't stop him, he cheekily leaned closer and leaned again, until Yan Yan stretched out his hand to push him and turned his eyes over him, then he scolded and dawdled back a little.
"This is for you." He stuffed Yan Yan with a handful of small wild flowers. Seeing Yan Mo looked at him with a small look, he hurriedly reprimanded with a chubby face: "Go, go, what are the children looking at?"
Yan Mo smirked, turned his back honestly, and walked some distance away, until he couldn't hear the voice over there, and then he continued to stalk his horse.
"what is this?"
Yan Yan flipped a handful of grass leaves in her hand, there were grass and small white, bright yellow flowers.
Luo Huaiyuan scratched his chin, his fat face froze for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "Do you like the flowers I gave you?"
This is a bit of a guilty conscience. He actually wanted to send the little princess a beautiful rose or something, but unfortunately it is not modern at the moment, and there is no such thing to say, and in this wild country, there is no beautiful flower that he wants to find. He and Xiao Anzi took a long time to find this little wild flower.
Is this a flower
Well, it is indeed a flower.
Yan Yan touched the small flower bone, her expression a little weird.
She has seen a lot of precious flowers, but she has never seen this kind of thing that seems to be casually plucking a handful of weeds and scattered wild flowers on the side of the road and giving them away.
"Well, when I was in Fuzhou, it was a custom among Westerners that men would send flowers to their favorite women, which represented full of love. Now in the wild countryside, I've been looking for these little wild flowers for a long time. After returning to Beijing, I will send you something beautiful every day." Luo Huaiyuan said boldly, not showing any shyness at all, as if the 'favorite' and 'love' did not come out of his mouth.
Yan Yan's face froze, she was thinking about how to react.
"You don't like—" The voice was a little sad, and the ending turned a few corners.
Xiao Anzi, who was hiding behind a bush, felt itchy ears. For the sake of his physical and mental health, he decided to go to Master Amo's place. Although Xiao Anzi is a eunuch, he also understands that his Royal Highness is looking for the future princess to have a romantic relationship, so he should stay away from the fun.
Yan Yan glanced over there before looking at the white, fat face in front of her.
"I didn't dislike it."
"That's what you like?"
The fat face suddenly turned into a flower with a smile.
Yan Yan lowered her head, unable to bear to hit him, and gave a low hum.
Hearing the 'um', Luo Huaiyuan suddenly felt that the world had become a better place, filled with colorful and pink bubbles.
He was very happy for a while, and he stretched out his fat paws to grab the hand of the little girl. Yan Yan was caught by chance and wanted to pull it back, but who knew that the other party was holding her tightly.
"Well, the weather is good today. The air is fresh, and this place is quiet. Sister Yan really knows how to find a place." Luo Huaiyuan played haha for a while, and then said again: "By the way, I heard Shen Xiaoer say that Auntie thinks Reconcile with Yan Ting, won't Yan Ting, who looks like Bilian, agree?"
Yan Yan's attention was focused on the phrase 'Biao Bilian', her eyes were full of doubts: "What do you mean?"
Only then did Luo Huaiyuan realize that he had said something dirty, he coughed hurriedly, and explained, "Slip of the tongue is shameless."
Yan Yan nodded, "My mother can't get along with him, Ah Mo is still young."
Thinking of this, she couldn't help frowning.
In another year, she will be married, and by then there will be only her mother and brother left in the house. She was not here, and she was really worried that her mother would be able to cope with all kinds of bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods that came to the mansion. What's more, she has torn her face with Yan Ting now, and the look in his eyes when he left that day, she can't help but feel palpitations when she thinks of it.
Yan Yan's expression was so solemn that Luo Huaiyuan couldn't help but ask. Yan Yan did not hide it from him, and told him the whole story.
Even if Shen Qi and Luo Huaiyuan revealed something, it was only a rough idea. Only then did Luo Huaiyuan know that Yan Ting, who represented Bilian, actually wanted to beat his little princess. His little princess, he himself is reluctant to touch a finger!
He had cursed countless times in his heart. If Luo Huaiyuan knew how to curse, then Yan Ting would probably be dead without a place to be buried.
Luo Huaiyuan's face was full of righteous indignation, "Tell me, how do you want to get him? If you kill him, you will die once you die, and your aunt and A Mo will have a much more comfortable life in the future."
The words came out naturally, but when it came to the death, Luo Huaiyuan couldn't help but glanced at Yan Yan, seeing her indifferent face, he couldn't help but say again, "To be honest, your father stays here. No. If you let him go on, you won't have to implicate Duke Zhen Guo. You, your mother, and your younger brother may be implicated by him. You see, he didn't make this happen. Fortunately, the father and emperor did not. I would like to give help to Concubine Xu, and with the handsome and smart me on the side, I can't make him do what he wants."
This thick-skinned man started to flaunt himself as he spoke.
It was a very serious matter, so he changed his tone without saying a few words. Yan Yan couldn't help but pursed her lips and laughed, only to realize that her little hand was still in his hand.
It's not a problem for this guy to grab the little girl's little hand, and he is still scratching the palm of the little girl's palm with his fingertips. Yan Yan's hand was itching so much, she couldn't help but panic, and forcibly pulled her hand back. I don't know if it was because of his strength, or because the fat man was useless when he looked sturdy, Luo Huaiyuan actually followed his inertia.
This is simply the top of Mount Tai!
Yan Yan originally sat cross-legged, but Luo Huaiyuan changed to sit on her knees when she came. He couldn't exert his strength on the lower plate, and he was overwhelmed unexpectedly. It doesn't matter if you press it, this wretched guy sees that the situation is not good, but instead, he leans up happily, pouting his mouth so high that he kisses the profile of the little girl.
Kissing is not counted, but also issued a 'boo' sound.
This stuff is definitely intentional!
He really did it on purpose.
After kissing, he rubbed his lips against the pink and delicate face, his face was intoxicated, his voice was a little hoarse, "Sister Ayan, your little face is so slippery!"
Yan Yan was stunned, her voice was broken, and she pushed him with her hand, "What are you doing? Hurry up, hurry up."
Luo Huaiyuan seemed to have reacted as well, and suddenly panicked, "Ah... I didn't mean to, I'll get up now, so I didn't press you down."
He was in a hurry, and somehow Yan Yan ran into his arms. One chubby hand wrapped around the little girl's waist so he wouldn't lose it, and the other paw grabbed the little hand, and pretended to be anxious to ask the other party. , "Does it hurt? Does it hurt?"
When Yan Yan sat up, her posture became that she was sitting in the other's soft arms, her waist was surrounded by an arm.
Yan Yan's face was flushed, and she didn't know whether she was being crushed or embarrassed.
"No pressure, just let go!"
"It's really not pressing? You mustn't lie to me, right?"
"No! You let go!"
Luo Huaiyuan said 'oh oh' a few times, but was reluctant to let go.
The little princess' waist is really thin, a narrow one, both soft and strong...
After dawdling again, he reluctantly released his hand.
Yan Yan doubted that this Luo Xiaopang was definitely doing it on purpose, but seeing that his expression was different, he was indeed anxious, but thinking about the sentence 'so slippery' before, he felt something was wrong.
Luo Huaiyuan held back his laughter and put on a bitter face.
Why didn't he find that the little princess was so cute, simple and cute before, but he seemed like a wretched uncle. But after thinking about it, the two will get married in another year, and there is no sense of guilt at all.
He stood up, blushing, and seemed to remember his previous embarrassment, "Well, sister Ayan, I didn't mean it just now." Got a bag full.
Yan Yan's face turned red, and she stared, "Don't mention it!"
"I really didn't mean to."
"You're not allowed to mention it!"
"Okay, okay, I won't mention it." He licked his fat face and approached Yan Yan who was slapping grass clippings on his body, "Well, I'll be back in Beijing in a few days, Shen Xiaoer said that the three of us will go out to fight. Second hunt. Such a good opportunity was disturbed by what happened last time. His mother has been holding him recently, and he finally said that the kinetic energy came out to play."
"when?"
"Tomorrow."
"it is good."
"Think about what I said just now. I'll go to Shen Xiaoer and tell him the good news."
What did you say
Can't stay
In fact, Yan Yan was surprised that such words would come out of Luo Xiaopang's mouth. After all, murdering a father is not a trivial matter. Yan Yan has imagined this possibility for a while, but it is difficult not to say it or to put it into words.
Really think about this!
Yan Yan fell into deep thought.
Taking advantage of this gap, Luo Huaiyuan, who had taken advantage of the situation just now, burst into a smile and called Xiao Anzi to leave.
**
After that banquet, Yan Ting never saw Xu Xiangrong again.
I asked to see him several times, but none of them saw him. Yan Ting didn't care about being arrogant and arrogant at this moment. He visited several times, and because of his identity, he could not see the second prince and Xu Guifei for the time being, so he could only find Xu Xiangrong to make peace.
Xu Xiangrong always said that he admired him for his foresight and strategizing, and hoped that he did have credit before meeting him this time, and helped him talk about unity in front of the second prince and Xu Guifei.
This time, Yan Ting was led into Xu Xiangrong's felt tent.
After entering the tent, he saw Xu Xiangrong leaning on the low couch with a bad expression, holding a wine glass in his hand. He left his shirt wide open, revealing his strong chest, with only a pair of obscene trousers underneath, and he looked rather slutty.
This Xu Xiangrong has always been reserved and noble in front of others, but in private, it is extremely absurd. Yan Ting also knew it and was not surprised by this.
A low table was placed in front of the low couch, with a lot of delicious food on it, and a few wine jugs scattered around.
As soon as he approached, the smell of alcohol was soaring, Yan Ting bowed his hands, Xu Xiangrong waved his hand drunkenly, and asked him to sit down and have a drink with him.
"Sir, this time it was the little girl who made a mistake. She also reprimanded her when she went back, but she said that the matter was arranged by Duke Zhen Guo."
After Yan Ting thought about all aspects in his mind, he came up with such a reason. Pushing it to Duke Zhen Guo is better than saying that he is incompetent, and that he was pitted by Duke Zhen Guo and his daughter.
Xu Xiangrong didn't answer him either, but said drunkenly: "Brother Pengyuan, do you know that you have hurt me this time! My sister has never lost her temper with me, and this time she called me over and scolded me bloody. Head, you said that you didn't even get your own daughter, so you persuaded us all to move forward. Now it's okay, the second prince and the concubine have all lost face, and His Majesty is very angry..."
Yan Ting's face was full of apology, both decadent and helpless, "Who would have thought that things would turn out to be like this? She has also spoken to the little girl before, and she also admires the second prince. But the little girl has always been close to her grandfather, the prince Think about it, the little girl is a little girl who has not yet reached the age of the hairpin. Although she likes to dance with knives and guns on weekdays, how could she say such shocking words, and the words she said fit His Majesty's thoughts."
These are indeed facts. Perhaps people at the time thought that this little girl was indeed a little unexpected, her words and deeds were shocking, but it happened that every word was in line with Emperor Xi's mind, including a few obscure things.
But how could she know this at such a young age? It seems that every sentence is self-defeating, but in fact, the more she says, the more admired Emperor Xi is. If it was just a thought by a teenage girl, most people would not believe it.
In the past few days, many people have come to understand, this may be a self-protection strategy that the Duke of Zhen Guo came up with, and Xu Guifei and others are also so suspicious.
"Did someone leak the news from the second prince's side, or else how could Duke Zhen Guo know in advance and make arrangements in advance?" Yan Ting spared no effort to transfer all the anger on the second prince's side to Duke Zhen Guo. , "My father-in-law is really a stubborn old man! I have told him many times about the second prince's intentions, and he never paid attention to it and said a lot of unpleasant things... In the past, the old son asked me, and I was always bad. After all, how can a son-in-law talk about his father-in-law's fault..."
"Oh? What unpleasant things did Duke Zhen Guo say?" Xu Xiangrong became interested.
Yan Ting sighed and rambled about his embarrassment as the son-in-law of Duke Zhen Guo. What is always being pressed down by him, he is not too young, and he has a lot of resentment about his nose, eyes, eyes, etc. all day long.
This is not a fake, Yan Ting's full of resentment only needs to reveal a little, enough to make people think that he is not a fake.
He also said that Duke Zhenguo once boasted that he did not need to show goodwill to the second prince. No matter which prince ascended the throne at the time, the wealth of Duke Zhenguo’s mansion was indispensable. The Xu family, a pig slaughterer, also delusionally wanted to become a great treasure. It's a crazy dream and so on.
The Duke of Zhenguo really didn't need to show his favor to Concubine Xu's family. The Shen family had remained neutral for so many years and only loyal to the emperors of the past dynasties.
In the early years, when the late emperor was there, he could see the clues. No matter how the late queen mother tried to win over, Duke Zhen Guo ignored it, and even went to the border for more than ten years without returning, in order not to interfere in the battle for the crown prince.
After Emperor Xi came to the throne, the empress dowager and the two princes were in turmoil. The reason why Duke Zhenguo returned to Beijing to support Emperor Xi was only because Emperor Xi was the prince appointed by the emperor. minister.
The reason slander is believed is because it has something to be believed.
Yan Ting's words were 70% true and 30% false, and it was precisely these 30% falsehoods that angered Xu Xiangrong.
The Xu family was born as a butcher. This is a well-known thing in the world. Even if the butcher's skin is removed and he becomes the Marquis of Chengen, he will not be able to wash away the previous facts.
But Concubine Xu was favored and gave birth to two more princes. No one dared to talk about the Xu family like this in Beijing.
When the Xu family first entered Beijing, a son of a noble family and Xu Xiangrong quarreled and sneered. Everyone knows that that person has always been young and strong and has been practicing martial arts all year round.
That family had a child who died on the belly of a woman, and was ridiculed by the family in Beijing. After that, some of the slanderous things in the house were publicized by making a big fuss. In addition, Concubine Xu slandered and slandered in the presence of Emperor Xi, and the family was reprimanded out of Beijing. .
There is a saying in the world that people who kill pigs are ruthless.
Although there is a suspicion of overthrowing a boat with a pole, it is not unreasonable.
You must know that the pig slaughterer slaughtered countless pigs each time. Although pigs are human dishes, they are living creatures after all. Naturally, I didn't feel it when I was eating it, but if the white knife went in and the red knife came out to do it myself, let alone bloodshed and dismembered, cut the heart and dig out the liver, it would be a test of people's hearts.
Xu Xiangrong slaughtered pigs with his father Xu since childhood to support the family. When he was in his teens, he was able to slaughter a big fat pig by himself. In the folk selection, Xu Guifei was selected to enter the palace. At that time, the selection of the people in the palace was like jackals, tigers and leopards, and they couldn't hide in time. The Xu family's status was low, and the county magistrate saw that the number of places for selection was far from enough, so he personally named the yamen to arrest him.
Concubine Xu Guifei was known for her beauty in her early years. Father Xu doted on his daughter, and only waited for her daughter to find a good marriage with her when she was old. How could she have thought that a good marriage had not yet come to the door, and this name of beauty attracted black and white impermanence.
How could the people fight against the officials, so Concubine Xu entered the palace like this.
Because of her beauty, Concubine Xu was chosen to be the last to change clothes, and she did not fall into the class of palace servants.
When Concubine Xu was struggling in the harem, Xu Xiangrong worked hard at home to kill pigs, hoping to earn more money and support her sister after she left the palace.
At that time, the common people thought that Caixuan was a palace maid who was selected to enter the palace to serve people. Being a palace servant was a chore. If you accidentally lost your life, even if you waited for the release of the palace, you would be twenty-five years old. A woman of this age Generally, no one wants to marry, and most of them are widowers who can marry.
As everyone knows, once you enter the richest place under the sky, it can be said that everything is possible. Who would have thought that the daughter of the Xu family, who is not a fragrant country, could actually become the favorite concubine of the sixth palace
A few years later, the news spread back to the countryside, and the Xu family jumped over the Dragon Gate overnight.
At that time, Concubine Xu was not a concubine, but a concubine who had just given birth to a second prince.
Xu Xiangrong has been assertive since he was a child. Father Xu was born with a straight gut. He never took care of things at home. As long as he killed pigs every day to earn money to support the family, Mother Xu took care of everything at home. Later, when Concubine Xu grows up, she will be able to take half of the family's ideas. Xu Guifei entered the palace, and Xu Xiangrong took the Xu family's idea.
When Xu Xiangrong heard the news, he did not move his family to the capital in a hurry, but he was still doing his own business of killing pigs and selling meat.
In his spare time, he invited a teacher to teach him how to read and write. He has grown up in the market since he was a child, and he is not a person with shallow knowledge. He naturally knows that the capital is a gathering place for many noble ministers. He came from a small family, so he went to the capital just like that. He embarrassed his sister in vain, and Xu's father, a rude man, was also restrained by him to study and read Mingli, which was really miserable.
At that time, the entire county knew that the Xu family had left the palace and had given birth to a prince, and might become a queen in the future (please don't take the thoughts of ordinary people seriously). The Xu family suddenly rose and the boat was even higher than the county magistrate's guest. But the Xu family kept a low profile and didn't even kill pigs for a living. They were all confined to the house and rarely went out, and there was no bullying or bullying. thing.
After lurking for several years, Xu Xiangrong took the whole family to the capital until Xu Guifei gave birth to the third prince and was ranked as the imperial concubine. At that time, although the Xu family was not as good as the high-level clan, but they also changed their usual vulgar habits, dressed up properly and went out for outsiders to see, it was a well-off family.
As for the favored concubine's family, Emperor Xi naturally waited and watched. After watching it for so many years, I am also very satisfied. I am not afraid of being from a low background, but I am afraid that I will forget my name and who it is once I get the upper hand. The news that Concubine Xu became the empress in the palace back then was naturally passed back with the permission of Emperor Xi. Otherwise, Concubine Xu's hometown was thousands of miles away from the capital, so how could the news be passed back.
The Xu family's low-key and duty-keeping won the satisfaction of Emperor Xi, and Xu Guifei's contribution was not small (bearing two sons~(≧▽≦)/~), the Xu family got the title of Marquis of Chengen as soon as they entered Beijing. This kind of title is given to relatives and has no real power, but it can be regarded as a formal rebirth.
The Xu family was naturally overwhelmed by surprise, and only then did they understand why their son had done so much useless work before. It turned out that the original words, 'If you don't plan, do it, you have to plan for a big one' should be here.
At that time, Xu Xiangrong had just been studying, and he was being taught by Mr. Zhizhe all day long. Naturally, it would have been impatient to change other people, but he was enjoying it. Not much, and he pulled out a half-written and half-said sentence, which was quite banditry in the community.
Later, the Xu family officially entered the noble circle of the capital. During this period, Xu's parents and Xu's mother inevitably made a lot of jokes, but they never bullied others, nor did they argue with others. They ridiculed their mud-legged origins. And people also saw that, whoever had ridiculed the Marquis Chengen and his wife, in a few days, Emperor Xi would reprimand the family.
Over time, everyone knew that the Xu family could not be messed with.
Don't look at people's honesty and honesty, there is a favored daughter in their palace. Honest, honest and heartless is the image Xu Xiangrong has established for his parents. This is the nature of these two people.
People with this image are the most disdainful and unprepared, and it is enough to keep him alone if their family has more hearts.
You must know that although Concubine Xu was gaining momentum at that time, she was like a castle in the air, without a foundation, and was completely supported by Emperor Xi's favor. At that time, the Xu family couldn't stand the storm or offend those people, so they could only hide and plan slowly. Even more than ten years later, the Marquis of Cheng'en was not eye-catching in Beijing, but no family dared to ignore him. They were able to fight against the prince's family for so long, only relying on Xu Guifei's favor in front of His Majesty. It doesn't make sense at all.
Xu Xiangrong is such a person. He has the bandit spirit of the low-ranking people in the market, and he also has a gentle and decent demeanor that he has deliberately cultivated. After coming to the capital for more than ten years, it was enough for him to form a qualified honor, and he was endurable and cruel enough. Not only cruel to others, but also to yourself. He is very conspiratorial, and he does not take the usual path. Many times the means he uses are quite lewd, and most people disdain them, but it works wonders.
Yan Ting has been with him for the past few years, and he has seen and heard many times. He has also seen him set a lot of sinister stumbling blocks for the prince's family. Naturally, he knows his behavior well.
He would say these words not only because he wanted to push the responsibility on Duke Zhen Guo, but also because he wanted to create an enemy hidden in the dark like a ghost. He hated Duke Zhen Guo's lineage deeply, and wished his Shen family would be slaughtered to death on the street, so he would spare no effort to splash dirty water.
"Good, you town prince!"
Xu Xiangrong squinted drunken eyes and dropped these words, Yan Ting knew that he was hating the Shen family.
Yan Ting was proud of himself and successfully escaped this disaster. Although the second prince had a bad impression of him, he also transferred his hatred. Dangerous.
He didn't expect Xu Xiangrong to be able to sit in the current position. Xu Guifei, the second and third princes who had not yet established a palace, and all the forces outside the palace were in his hands. How could Xu Xiangrong be an idle generation. How could Yan Ting's little abacus escape his eyes
And his calculation is actually very simple, but it is not suitable for words.
Xu Xiangrong slowly turned his ink-like eyes, glanced at Yan Ting who was still unaware, and pulled out an arc on his thin lips stained with wine.
