Han Yan turned her head and stared at him. How could this person understand other people's meanings at random? He said stiffly: "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much."
After a long silence, both of them were speechless. After a while, Fu Yunxi finally spoke: "Yesterday's assassin was from Xirong."
Han Yan was startled: "Xirong?" No wonder the man he saw yesterday did not look like a Central Plains person. It's just that Xirong is now on the same level as the great sects. How could that man dare to go to the palace alone to assassinate the emperor? Thinking that he had saved that man last night. Fate, I already feel a little uneasy in my heart. Looking at Fu Yunxi again, he must have known what happened last night, and also knew that he helped the assassin escape. Seeing his cold expression, Han Yan thought to herself that she and the assassin were on the same team? After thinking about it, he decided to explain to Fu Yunxi, and then said: "I didn't know that man was from Xirong. He held a knife on my neck at that time. If I didn't help him, he would be harmful to me." .That’s why…”
"Where was he hiding at that time?" Fu Yunxi interrupted her before she could finish speaking.
Han Yan didn't expect him to ask this, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Your room?" Fu Yunxi raised an eyebrow, but her tone was somewhat dangerous.
Han Yan blinked and nodded.
Before she finished speaking, she felt a warmth on her lips, and the handsome face magnified in his sight. Seeing her stunned look, Fu Yunxi stepped back slightly, and her voice sounded a bit of warning: "You are the one who is this. The king’s princess!”
Han Yan pushed him away, only to feel extremely shocked in her heart. Fu Yunxi kissed Fu Yunxi no matter what, but saw that the man's expression softened a little, put down the things in his hands, and walked away.
After Fu Yunxi left, Han Yan walked over and found that they were bottles of scar removal plaster. A warmth arose in my heart, and my cheeks felt a little hot as I remembered his unexpected kiss just now.
It suddenly dawned on him, no wonder he was so abnormal today and looked in a bad mood. At first he thought he suspected that he was helping the assassin on purpose, but now he realized that he was unhappy with being in the same room with the assassin. This man was too small-minded. Got it! But... Han Yan held the medicine bottle in his hand: "Is he... jealous?"
But he said that after Fu Yunxi left Zhuang Mansion, he went to the palace. The Empress Dowager summoned him today, and it was inconvenient for him to stay in the Zhuang Mansion for too long.
Caifeng Hall.
The Queen Mother was leaning on the Ruyi Tower, and two palace maids in palace clothes were kneeling down to beat her legs. Concubine Chen was sitting on the side, talking to her, but she saw her father-in-law coming from outside to report: "King Xuanqing arrive… "
Fu Yunxi walked into the hall, knelt down and said in a cold voice: "My son, please see your mother."
"Get up." The Queen Mother waved to him: "Yun Xi, I haven't seen you for a few days."
Fu Yunxi's eyes were deep: "My son's unfilial piety makes my mother worried." Although he said this, there was no feeling of worry in his tone.
Concubine Chen sat on the side with her head bowed, but there was still a smile of unknown meaning on her lips.
"Yun Xi, I heard that you are going to marry Miss Zhuang." The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and took a slow sip of tea.
"Yes." Fu Yunxi obviously didn't want to get entangled in this topic, and her answer was concise.
"The Ai family originally wanted to point out the girl of the banker to Prince Wei, but now you have taken the lead." She said while observing Fu Yunxi's expression. But she didn't see the expression she wanted on Fu Yunxi's face. Fu Yunxi said: "The emperor has given the daughter of the Prime Minister's Palace to Prince Wei. It must be a happy marriage."
"Haha." The Queen Mother seemed to have heard some funny joke: "Didn't you ask the Emperor to facilitate that marriage?"
Fu Yunxi said: "My son also sees that Miss Li is infatuated with Prince Wei."
The Queen Mother encountered a weak point and decided not to talk to him in a roundabout way, and said: "Why do you want to marry the fourth lady of the Zhuang Mansion?"
"Miss Zhuang's talent is well-known far and wide, and her sons and ministers admire her endlessly. What do you think is the reason for this?" he said.
The Queen Mother did not look at him, but turned to Concubine Chen aside: "The Ai family is old, but they don't understand admiration or admiration. Concubine Chen, why don't you tell me, what kind of person is the fourth girl from Zhuang?"
Concubine Chen said respectfully: "Miss Zhuang Si is a hard-working lady. She lost her mother just last year, and she is not loved by her father. She was even bullied by the concubine in the house. She looks very pitiful."
These words were obviously meant to feel sorry for Han Yan, but secretly they meant that Han Yan's status was not favored, and even though she held the position of a legitimate daughter in the house, she was not popular with everyone. A girl like this would be a bad choice for Princess Xuanqing.
Sure enough, the Queen Mother sighed after hearing this: "For such a hard-working person, Yun Xi must treat her well." The topic changed: "But she has suffered since she was a child, and I'm afraid she will be tired when she gets married. The Ai family pointed out It would also be good to give you a few other side concubines and concubines to help the banker girl."
Fu Yunxi said calmly: "My mother and concubine don't know something, but my son has already sworn in front of the civil and military officials of the court that he will only marry Miss Zhuang in this life."
"What?" The Queen Mother was surprised: "How can this happen? There has never been such a rule that royal children can only marry one concubine. It is your responsibility to spread the branches and leaves, how can you act on impulse. The Ai family disagrees. .”
"Mother." Concubine Chen said softly: "It was Miss Zhuang who proposed it herself. On that day, Prince Wei and his son went to the Zhuang Mansion to propose marriage, and Miss Zhuang said that the person who wanted to marry could only marry her. Only then did King Wei give up his thoughts."
The Queen Mother's eyes widened and she said angrily: "What a jealous woman! A woman must be tolerant and generous, and abide by the three obediences and four virtues to be a good woman. She is good! She makes such an absurd request. It will be okay to return it after passing the door. Yun Xi, the Ai family will not allow you to marry such a woman. Break off the engagement with her immediately."
"The queen is joking." Fu Yunxi still looked calm: "The emperor approved the marriage in front of all the civil and military officials. How can we change it? Even today, she is destined to be the princess of my Xuanqing Palace. ”
Concubine Chen covered her mouth and chuckled: "No wonder they say that the prince is a gentleman. It is not easy to please the queen. As long as the prince writes a letter of divorce and divorces her immediately, won't this marriage be difficult? Forget it. The emperor only said that he would be granted marriage, but he did not say that he was not allowed to divorce his wife."
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, Yun Xi, write a letter of divorce immediately. There are many good girls in the capital, and the Ai family will find a good match for you."
"May I ask my mother, what crime did Miss Zhuang commit that made me want to divorce her?" Fu Yunxi asked with raised eyebrows.
"She has violated one of the Seven Rules of Jealousy!" A hint of evil flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes: "How could I have such a jealous woman!"
"If it's jealousy to say that I only marry her in this life, I'm afraid it won't work." Fu Yunxi said slowly: "Because my son is willing to pamper her alone."
