When Xie Fei woke up, he was lying on a delicate and unusual bed, the sun was shining on the table through the window, the purple smoked stove above was emitting smoke, and the room of Nuoda was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood. , smoked people drowsy.
"Master Shizi is awake?" Xie Fei just lifted the quilt and sat up when Lu Qi, who was standing outside, walked in. He was wearing a black guard uniform with a good sword on his waist, and started walking. Come quietly, I want to come to the internal strength is very good.
Xie Fei raised his eyes and looked at him, and his voice just woke up with a charming magnetism: "What time is it?"
"It's just past time." Lu Qi said.
During the conversation, the maid outside had brought the water basin in, Xie Fei stood up in a silk top, and the maid who was holding the clothes was about to step forward to change her clothes, Xie Fei slightly turned away and frowned: "Lu Qi ."
Lu Qi was stunned first, and looked at Xie Fei with some doubts.
Xie Fei glanced at the maid who was holding the clothes behind him, Lu Qi understood it in an instant, and hurried forward two steps, took the clothes in one hand and waited for him to put them on, looking at the aggrieved maid's red eyes, he couldn't bear to say: "You Go down first."
The maid looked at Xie Fei pitifully, not understanding why the gentle prince was so cold to him today and wanted to speak, but looking at those cold eyes, he finally retreated softly.
After breakfast, Xie Fei sat on the couch with a roll of books, frowning slightly, absent-mindedly thinking about how to help Xiwen fulfill her wish. At this time, the chatter of the maid in the corridor came in through the open window.
"You said that Princess Anping is really pitiful. She finally got an enviable fiancé, but now she was attacked and disappeared on the way back."
"Yeah, I also heard that those men in black are strong in martial arts, and General Liang was injured again. I'm afraid it's more fortunate than for luck."
"Who said it wasn't, eh, tell me, will this Princess Anping... be Kefu's life?"
"What are you talking about here in your spare time? You're done with your work, right? If you don't finish your work, go to work soon. Who dares to be lazy and pay attention to her skin!"
A few maids were trained for a while, and hurriedly went to work. Xie Fei's brows became tighter and tighter - did he come by such a coincidence? Xiwen has already been engaged to Liang Shao, so Xiwen must have fallen in love with Liang Shao as before.
The news of Liang Shao's disappearance has been sent back to the capital, which means that in three months, he will take Chen Binger back to Beijing to break off the marriage, and he will take advantage of these three months to cut off Xiwen's love.
This is really a very difficult thing for Xie Fei, who is in love with Shichun like a blank piece of paper, even if he is stuck in practice, it is not so difficult.
Xie Fei began to feel worried when he thought about it. He rubbed his forehead with a headache and sighed slightly. He regretted agreeing to Houtu, and came to complete the task himself.
It was the first time that Lu Qi saw the omnipotent Shizi worry, he hesitated for a while, and he asked, "Shizi, if you have any troubles, please tell me, maybe my subordinates can solve it for you?"
Xie Fei silently looked at Lu Qi, and at a glance he could see that he was roughly equal to himself in terms of emotions, so he said with some disgust: "Forget it."
Lu Qi, who was inexplicably despised by the prince, stood aside listlessly with his head down, with a shriveled mouth.
His long fingers tapped twice on the desk, Xie Fei had no way to think about it for a while, and then thought that it was Xiwen who heard about Liang Shao's disappearance and fell ill in a panic, so she decided to go first. Look, if you can, by the way, dissolve the engagement of the two first.
However, in order to dissolve a marriage contract, it is probably only possible to replace it with another marriage contract. . .
"Lu Qi, let someone prepare a box of rare medicinal herbs, and follow me out of the house in a quarter of an hour." After making a decision, Xie Fei immediately got up and stayed, and told Lu Qidao.
"Where are you going, Prince?" Lu Qi asked, "There has been a turbulent undercurrent in the capital recently, and the four directions are turbulent. The princess ordered her subordinates two days ago..."
Xie Fei squinted at Lu Qi with a cold expression, so frightened that he swallowed the unfinished words in an instant, and smiled a little far-fetched.
"Remember, I am your master." Xie Fei said indifferently, but there was an unquestionable taste.
Lu Qi was shocked, his back was sweating, and he said, "Yes, this subordinate remembers it."
Not long after, Xie Fei arrived at the gate of the palace, handed over the sign, and waited for the emperor to summon him.
After a while, the father-in-law announced that he would enter the palace to face the holy.
At the same time, in Princess Anping's boudoir.
Xiwen is lying on the exquisite and rich bed, covered with a quilt with the pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water, like a beautiful woman who is asleep, but there is a touch of sadness between her frowning brows, her face is pale, and her lips are small. It was also a little pale. The queen looked at her unconscious daughter, and her heart overflowed with indescribable love and pity.
Just after feeding the decoction by herself, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, the queen was about to reprimand the palace servants for not abiding by etiquette when she heard the palace maid say at the door of the house: "Qi to the empress, thank the prince of the palace for visiting. "
The queen was stunned for a moment, then looked at Wang mama hesitantly, and asked in confusion, "What is he doing here?"
Wang mama shook her head, helped the queen to stand up from the bedside, and whispered, "Let's welcome the prince in first."
"Although Princess Xie is the emperor's elder sister, the relatives of the two families have met several times except at the palace banquet. While walking, he muttered to himself.
Soon he arrived at the reception flower hall. As soon as the queen entered the room, she saw a handsome man sitting on the seat, wearing a light-colored piping brocade clothes, with a white jade belt tied around his waist, and a simple blue silk tied with a small jade crown. , His gestures show extraordinary bearing, peerless demeanor, and he is really a good son in a turbulent world.
"I don't know what kind of wind is blowing today, but it actually blows Shizi Xie here. Xiwen is ill, and this palace is also incapable of doing things. If the servants neglect the prince, I hope the prince will not take offense." The queen smiled and said, With a graceful posture, he walked to the main seat and said to Xie Fei.
Looking at Xie Fei up close, the queen was even more shocked. The prince of Xie Wangfu, who was obsessed with landscapes and did not admire power, was actually so personable and elegant, even above the royal family.
After the queen was seated, Xie Fei got up and bowed, and said solemnly, "See the queen, may the phoenix be healthy. Xie Fei took the liberty to visit the door today, and asked the queen, Haihan. To be honest, I came here with selfish intentions."
The queen was surprised, but her face did not show the slightest, and she smiled and said: "Oh? I don't know what the prince's so-called selfishness is, what is it?"
"This selfishness is nothing but my cousin." Xie Fei's handsome face flushed slightly, his clear voice was mixed with a touch of shyness, and he said word by word, "Xie Fei loves cousin."
After saying this, the queen was amazed. How could her frail and sickly daughter suddenly become a sweet pastry? Besides, when did Xie Fei fall in love with Xiwen
The hall was silent for a while, and Xie Fei still did not change his face under the queen's scrutiny, his expression became more solemn, and his tone became more sincere: "Since the last Queen Mother's birthday banquet, Xie Fei has tossed and turned since returning to the house, and his love for his cousin It is getting worse day by day. My cousin is beautiful and beautiful, and she is even more plucking in my heart, making me fall in love with her. It's a pity that Xie Fei was one step behind General Liang Shao and could not find a beautiful woman. Fortunately, God is kind to him. Although I, a gentleman, should not take advantage of others' dangers, Xie Fei is willing to be a villain for his cousin. Today, I take the liberty of visiting, and I only hope that the empress can fulfill me."
The queen looked at the noble young man standing in front of her, and she didn't know how to react for a while. She really could not have imagined that Xie Shizi actually fell in love with her daughter at first sight. It's just that this matter is not big or small. Xie Fei was born in a famous family, knows books and reason, and has a degree of advance and retreat. It is indeed much better than Liang Shao, who only knows how to dance with knives and guns.
But there are also two problems. First, this Xie Fei came to ask for marriage by herself. She still doesn't know the attitude of Xie Wangye and Wangfei. Second, Liang Shao's life and death are still unknown. Now changing the marriage contract is not good for Xiwen's reputation, and she doesn't know Xiwen. Will she agree? After all, she has a Liang Shao in her heart.
The queen thought for a moment, then hesitantly said: "Xie Shizi, this palace also really wants to fulfill your infatuation, but..."
Xie Fei smiled lightly and said calmly: "Xie Fei knows what the empress is worried about, and my mother has already handed over the marriage contract to me. If the emperor and the queen agree and give the imperial decree, Xie Fei will definitely ask the father, mother and concubine to handle the marriage, never Let my cousin suffer a little grievance, and Xie Fei will protect her well-being in this life."
"If Liang Shao returns safely, and this palace promises Xiwen to you again, wouldn't it be a joke to the world for one daughter to marry two husbands? Besides, since Liang Shao asked for Xiwen's marriage when she was in danger, her love A heart was given to Liang Shao, even if the emperor gave an imperial decree, as long as Liang Shao's body is not seen for one day, I am afraid that Xiwen will not agree to marry you one day." The queen sighed softly and said slowly.
The corners of Xie Fei's lips twitched, and he smiled slightly. After laughing, he said confidently: "My lady's words are not good. Now the rumor that the princess is the life of Kefu has spread all over the capital. If you don't stop it in time, it may hurt the princess. Besides, the emperor will only give her a gift. After getting married, how can it be considered as one daughter and two husbands? What is there to fear from the gossip of others, and what can be compared to the happiness of a princess' life?"
When the queen heard this, she nodded calmly, and she already had a decision in her heart.
"The mother said that the princess loves Liang Shao very much, but it is not necessary. Relatively speaking, gratitude is more appropriate. The princess lives alone in the deep palace and does not see outsiders all the year round. Liang Shao is famous as a young man, and his appearance is also good. I like him a little more. The princess may like Liang Shao, but not to the point of deep love. Now Liang Shao's disappearance has put the princess in trouble. For the sake of the princess' body and the future, it is the best choice for me to marry me." Xie Fei continued. .
The queen looked at the calm and calm young man in front of her, and was very satisfied. Her beautiful face slowly burst into a smile, and said: "Ben Gong is really old, or you young people have more courage. I can't be more satisfied with the information, this palace will discuss this matter with the emperor, and I think the emperor will not reject this good marriage."
As soon as Xie Fei heard it, he knew that the marriage was over. He smiled slightly and said, "Thank you so much for Niangniang, Xie Fei. This box of medicinal materials is a little bit of my heart for the princess, and I hope Niangniang will accept it with a smile."
Having said that, Lu Qi handed the red sandalwood box in his hand to the maid next to the queen. The queen smiled lightly and said, "The prince has been bothered."
"Queen Empress, Xie Fei has been disturbing for a long time, so I will leave today, and come back to visit my cousin another day." After talking about the marriage, Xie Fei got up and said goodbye.
"The prince will wait for the good news, Liubi, send the prince out of the palace." The queen smiled.
