Wang Xi didn't speak, and he set his eyes on the fingertips on his chest. Under the moonlight, the fingertips had a white texture, as if they were demons, very strange.
His heart is broken.
Wang Xi couldn't help laughing bitterly.
He has always been a gentleman praised by others, even if he is a bit more romantic, no one will ever treat him as a traitor. When did he start to be regarded as a person who would betray the country and seek glory for his own self-interest
He didn't speak, Rong Hua quietly waited for his reply.
Before coming to Dachu, he had carefully checked Dachu's interpersonal relationship. Wang Xi was born in an aristocratic Wang family and is the son of a legitimate son. He has been in the limelight since he was a child. For a long time, he was considered to be the leader of his generation. But being suppressed by a concubine and a descendant of the prince's mansion, anyone should be born with darkness.
Even if there was no such gloom—after all, it is difficult for a person like Wei Lan to feel disgusted—after Lin Che died and the Wang family started to become hostile to the Xie and Wei families, there should have been a different kind of thinking.
Rong Hua was a bit hesitant to make this move, but Wang Xi stretched out his hand.
Wang Xi helped Rong Ji.
Both Wei Lan and Xie Zichen thought it was his indulgent Rong Ji, but in fact it was Rong Ji who made good decisions, he was not so stupid, it was Rong Ji who was speculating on his mind and making good decisions. Even if this stupid princess tramples on her dignity, her admiration for the strong has always put her in a situation where she loves and hates Ronghua. While she resented him, she was always trying her best to do something for him to attract his attention.
He knew, but he didn't care, even if he knew she was going to provoke Xie Zichen and Wei Lan, he only managed not to stop her. One Rong Ji is dead, and there are others. There are many women. He can make any woman into Di Jie's princess. But what if she succeeds
Although he also knew that she could not succeed. Because from the very first moment he saw Xie Zichen and Wei Lan, he knew that these two people would be difficult to separate.
Wei Lan is hiding a secret.
Thinking of this, Rong Hua involuntarily raised the corners of his mouth.
The things he has learned are extremely complicated, such as identifying people by bones, which is not something ordinary people would learn. But he learned it, so when he observed Wei Lan at close range, he noticed something strange at first sight.
Later, when he approached her many times, he also wanted to confirm this matter. After seeing Xie Zichen's attitude, he was completely sure about this matter.
This was really beyond his expectation. He had called Wei Lan's attention a long time ago, but what he was thinking about was how to include this person in his account and become one of his own. But when he knew that secret, he understood many things.
For example, Xie Zichen and her are inseparable. Apart from relatives, where is there a closer relationship than husband and wife in this world
Another example, he should let Wei Lan go further away.
Walk to become the axis of this country, and then pull her down severely.
Such a beautiful and astonishing person should be held to the top, and when she is thrown down, tearing and chewing her flesh and blood, melting her into his own flesh and blood.
He had never had such an urge—to a woman. Such an urgent desire to destroy her, and then walk in front of her when she has nothing, and become her only one.
"Prince Wang," he felt that he seemed to have some kind of impulse, raised his head, and said gently: "Your answer?"
"Let me think about it." Wang Xi said solemnly: "Tomorrow, I will personally send the prince away from Beijing. When the time comes, I will give the prince an answer."
"Okay." Rong Hua responded with a smile, turned and left.
When Rong Hua completely disappeared into the night, Wang Xi turned cold and said immediately, "Go to Changxinhou's Mansion."
When Wang Xi arrived at Changxinhou's Mansion, Wei Lan was sleeping soundly in Xie Zichen's arms. Ran Mo knocked on the door and said calmly, "My lord, Wang Shangshu has something to ask for an interview."
Wei Lan opened her misty eyes, responded, and then came to her senses, a little uncertain: "Who?"
"Seventh Prince Wang, Wang Xi."
Upon hearing the name, Xie Zichen's expression turned cold, he hugged Wei Lan tightly, and said coldly, "No see!"
In the middle of the night, it's fine if a foreigner comes to see Wei Lan, or a lonely man and a widow want to discuss things, but it's Wang Xi, who has had a bad relationship with him recently, and Xie Zichen is very unhappy.
Knowing that he was throwing a temper tantrum, Wei Lan pulled away his holding her hand, stuffed the pillow into his arms for him to hold, got up to get dressed, and coaxed like a child: "Wang Xi must be so late to come. There are important things, don't lose your temper, be good."
Xie Zichen didn't know what to say, even though he knew that Wei Lan was like this in the court, he still couldn't help feeling angry. Anyone who falls asleep with his wife in his arms in the middle of the night, but the daughter-in-law is called away by other men, can't help feeling a little angry.
He sat cross-legged on the bed, still hugging the pillow in his hand, watching Wei Lan walk out with his coat on, and finally couldn't help reminding: "Pull the collar of the clothes higher!"
Wei Lan glanced down at her well-dressed clothes, feeling a little helpless.
This is not called high, what is high? She will go out with her face covered from now on, okay
She shook her head, ignored Xie Zichen, put on her coat and walked to the living room. Wang Xi had been waiting in the living room for a long time. Seeing Wei Lan coming out, the two of them exchanged a few polite words, and Wang Xi explained the purpose of coming.
"Rong Hua wants me to be his answer," Wang Xi said straight to the point, "What does Ah Lan think about this?"
Wei Lan froze for a moment, and Wang Xi detailed the conversation between him and Rong Hua. Wei Lan listened carefully, and after Wang Xi finished speaking, she tapped the table with her fingers and said slowly: "Actually, what he said is right, A Xi, this is a good thing for you." "
"I don't understand," Wei Lan looked up at him, "Why did you tell me this?"
Hearing this, Wang Xi smiled wryly: "Alan, since when did I become like this in your heart?"
Wei Lan didn't speak, Wang Xi looked up and took a sip of tea, feeling that it was too bitter.
"Alan," he said hoarsely, "if it were you, would you betray your country for glory?"
Wei Lan lowered her eyebrows and understood what Wang Xi meant. Wang Xi knew the answer by looking at her expression, and continued with a wry smile: "Since you can't do it, why do you think I can do it?"
"I'm sorry," Wei Lan took a deep breath, and said solemnly, "Axi, I apologize to you. It was my preconceived idea. I thought that about Ah Che...you would blame Xie Zichen."
"It's strange," Wang Xi said decisively, "of course I blame him. But I don't know. Everyone walks their own way. I can't blame him. Instead of blaming Xie Zichen, it's better to say that I blame myself In the final analysis, it was nothing more than venting anger. I knew that Ah Che's life was not easy, and I knew that Ah Che was too obsessed with his father, but for so many years, I did not stop him, nor did I help him. His death, I also Fuel this man."
"Alan," Wang Xi lowered her eyes, "The two families of Wang and Xie are already at odds. It doesn't matter whether I blame Xie Zichen or not. In fact, it doesn't matter anymore. Ache is indeed important, and I do blame Zichen, but this It was never the fundamental conflict between me and him. Xie Zichen forced Ah Che to death, to me, it was a humiliation."
"At least one of his words is right. If I were him, I would be able to keep Ah Che. Just like if Ah Che were you, Xie Zichen would not let you die. After all, I am incompetent."
Wei Lan didn't know how to speak. She used to be someone who could have a heart-to-heart relationship, but on this topic, she didn't have any right to speak.
Wang Xi didn't make things difficult for her, and continued: "I came to talk to you about Rong Hua because I thought that if I refused him directly, with his ability, he would naturally find someone else. If it was someone else, we might not be able to If you know how to control it, then I might as well promise him and make plans in the future."
"That's great." Wei Lan nodded, and continued, "What are you going to do?"
"If you agree, then I will deal with this matter tomorrow." Wang Xi quickly went through the future in his mind, and then said: "In the future, I hope Minister Wei will take care of you."
"It's easy to say." Wei Lan raised her hand: "Together for the great Chu world, Wei Lan is obliged to do so."
The two discussed for a while, and after Wei Lan sent Wang Xi out, she returned to the house. Xie Zichen waited anxiously in the room for a long time, now when he heard Wei Lan came back, he stood up pretending to be calm and said: "He came so late, what did he say to you?"
"Ronghua is leaving tomorrow." Wei Lan took off her clothes and hung up her clothes, and said casually, "He came to instigate Wang Xi, and Wang Xi came over and told me that he wanted to pretend to promise Ronghua that he would be Ronghua's spy in Dachu." .”
"Oh." Hearing this, Xie Zichen was not surprised. Wei Lan climbed onto the bed and asked with some doubts, "Aren't you surprised?"
"What's so strange?"
"I thought Wang Xi would agree." Wei Lan lay down and talked in Xie Zichen's arms. Xie Zichen stretched out his hand and found a comfortable position, and said lightly, "Then you underestimate Wang Xi too much. Wang Xi's The reputation is not in vain."
In his previous life, after Wang Xi's death, countless people who knew him wrote a short biography for him, which recorded his behavior in detail. Xie Zichen had never been so close to this person in his previous life, but he thought he knew him very well.
"He's just being sentimental."
"Lin Che..." Wei Lan said helplessly, "He will never forgive you in his life."
"I don't need his forgiveness." Xie Zichen said lightly, "If he forgives, he is also my enemy. If he doesn't forgive, he is also my enemy. If I show him any sympathy, I will keep Lin Che."
Wei Lan didn't speak, she couldn't blame Xie Zichen for anything. The Wang and Xie families are against each other, and such family disputes are inevitable. The Changxinhou Mansion is just a small clan, and there is no need to compete for any resources. But the two families of Wang and Xie are huge, and it's either you or me, and there is no chance of making peace at all.
It was never Xie Zichen's style to sacrifice his own interests for a future enemy.
But for some reason, Wei Lan felt a little sad in her heart.
"Actually, when I came to this world, the happiest time was when I was studying."
When she closed her eyes, she could recall that time when a group of teenagers were drunk in the water pavilion.
"People grow up." Xie Zichen stroked her hair and said gently, "Alan, don't be sad."
Wei Lan responded and didn't say any more.
On the second day, Wei Lan and Wang Xi send Rong Hua out of the city together.
Just like when he came, Rong Hua also went with great momentum. He is good at being a man, he has made many friends in Shengjing for so many years, a group of people came to see him off, after Rong Hua bid farewell to everyone, he came to Wang Xi.
Wang Xi saluted him respectfully, but said: "If you are free some other day, no matter how high the mountains are or how far the rivers are, you must go north to Dijie to have a drink with Your Highness."
Rong Hua smiled, knowing what Wang Xi meant, raised his hand to support Wang Xi, secretly stuffed him a letter, and said with a smile: "Then I will sweep the couch and wait for Axi. "
After saying goodbye to Wang Xi, Rong Hua came to the car, and Wei Lan was standing closest to him. He was about to get in the car, when he suddenly said to Wei Lan, "Wei Shizi, can you help me?"
Wei Lan didn't speak, and raised her hand, just to help, since Rong Hua opened her mouth, she would not refuse. Rong Hua covered Wei Lan's hand, and stepped on the low stool to get into the carriage.
People around them are far away from them. After getting into the carriage, Rong Hua held Wei Lan's hand, but didn't let go. Wei Lan looked up calmly, and said calmly, "It's time for your Highness to leave."
Rong Hua didn't speak, he half-kneeled in front of the carriage, rubbed the back of Wei Lan Ruyu's hand, and said softly: "Wei Shizi's hand is really slender, as small and delicate as a woman's."
"Your Highness was joking."
Wei Lan backed away, but Rong Hua grabbed her tightly, leaned in front of her, and said in a low voice: "This is the first time I saw Shizi, and I felt that Shizi was as lovable as a woman, and I felt admiration in my heart." .”
Wei Lan's face turned cold, she raised her eyes coldly, and greeted her with a doting smile.
Ronghua's lips were just an inch away from her, and his breath was entwined. Ronghua held her hand, with a bit of fanaticism in his eyes.
"Wei Shizi," he said in a hoarse voice, "next time we meet, I will welcome you into my harem, how about it?"
"Heh..." Wei Lan laughed out loud, and said coldly: "Your Highness may die until that day, with His Highness's body." There was pity in Wei Lan's eyes: "If you can delay it for a day, let it be a day."
After finishing speaking, Wei Lan used force in her hand, and pushed it with a palm. Rong Hua didn't dodge, and lowered her head to kiss Wei Lan's lips.
The moment her cold lips fell on Wei Lan's face, Wei Lan slammed the opponent into the carriage with a palm, Rong Hua was smashed against the wall of the carriage, and then coughed hastily. The surrounding guards drew their knives one after another, Wei Lan turned around calmly and left.
"stop!"
A guard stopped him and said angrily, "What have you done to our Highness!"
"Let... let him go..."
Rong Hua's coughing sound came from the carriage, although the guards were unwilling, they still put away their swords.
Wei Lan left directly, Rong Hua stopped her: "Wei Lan!"
Wei Lan stopped, Rong Hua panted, and said with difficulty: "Remember my words."
Mark my words, Wei Lan.
One day, I will flatten the Great Chu and trample this country. I want you to prostrate in front of me and lie under me.
He Ronghua will have the best everything in the world, want the highest power, and marry the most special woman.
Rong Hua laughed softly, the carriage finally set off, Wei Lan walked into the city, suddenly remembered something, she turned her head and said to everyone: "No one can tell what happened today!"
Everyone should be fine, but Wei Lan knows that this is not realistic.
When she came home at night, she was a little guilty, and wandered outside until late at night, thinking that after Xie Zichen fell asleep, she quietly climbed over the wall and entered her yard, then opened the door carefully, and tiptoed into the bedroom.
The bedroom was pitch black, and it was time for Xie Zichen to sleep. She breathed a sigh of relief boldly, at this moment, the lights suddenly turned on, accompanied by Xie Zichen's cold voice - are you back, are you having fun
Wei Lan didn't know why, but suddenly felt cold in her heart.
"Zichen, listen to my explanation..." Wei Lan said quickly: "It's not what you think! I swear to God, Rong Hua did it while I was not paying attention!"
"Oh." Xie Zichen's face was calm: "But so what? I'm just not happy."
Wei Lan: "..."
If it's so unreasonable, she can't help it.
So she had no choice but to make a big move, and rushed over, hugging Xie Zichen.
Xie Zichen: "..."
Wei Lan: "TT"
Later, Xie Zichen lay beside Wei Lan, who was soundly asleep, and thought seriously, at such a time, she shouldn't be allowed in.
After Rong Ji saw him off, Xie Zichen finally went to Wei Lan's house to hire him.
Xie's family invited almost all the prominent people in the dynasty to come to propose marriage with Xie Jue. Xie Zichen's gift money had been moved all morning. Xie Jue's hands were shaking when he held the gift list, and he suppressed his anger and asked Xie Zichen, "Where did you get so much money?"
Xie Zichen's expression was flat: "I borrowed it."
nonsense!
Xie Jue was so angry that he wanted to jump up. With Xie Zichen's character, how can he borrow so much money
He suppressed his anger, but didn't dare to say anything more. Xie Zichen is now the pillar of the entire Second Household, and even the entire Xie family. As long as he is willing, the next head of the family is almost determined to be him. Now Xie Jue dare not challenge him at all. After holding back for a long time, I could only say: "It's really promising to be able to borrow so much money."
"Thanks."
Xie Zichen didn't seem to understand Xie Jue's ridicule at all, and spoke very calmly.
The two of them were in the carriage. For some reason, Xie Jue was a little nervous when facing this son, so he found a topic and said, "How are you and Wei Lan getting along?"
"fine."
"Do you want children in the future?"
"..."
"Although Wei Lan can't have children, she can be adopted. The child of your elder brother's family is three years old..."
"I will have my own child." Xie Zichen said coldly, "You don't have to worry, we can have a child."
Xie Jue was dumbfounded.
how? two men? Just as Xie Jue was about to say something, the Changxinhou Mansion arrived.
Xie Jue immediately raised his airs, Xie Zichen couldn't help but feel a little strange, and frowned: "What are you going to do?"
"You have been crushed by his son, I can't lose!"
Xie Jue held his head high and walked away after saying this.
Xie Zichen: "..."
He really wanted to explain.
He failed to stop Xie Jue, and Wei Shao had the same thoughts as Xie Jue. Others don't know that Wei Lan is a woman, but he knows it clearly, so it is inevitable that he has the mentality of being bullied by a pig, and wants to put on airs like his father-in-law. So as soon as the two met, they started bragging about each other, and they didn't lose their momentum at all.
However, Xie Zichen didn't have this mentality, he just wanted to settle down early and marry Wei Lan home, so he was very well-behaved.
Wei Shao said: "I have my eye on an emerald canary..."
"I'll send someone to buy it tomorrow." Xie Zichen said decisively.
Wei Shao said: "In our Changxinhou Mansion, when a son-in-law meets his father-in-law, he has to kneel and talk at first."
Xie Jue immediately replied with a sneer: "Our Xie family man has gold under his knees..."
"Young master!" Xie Tong exclaimed, Xie Jue turned around in surprise, saw Xie Zichen kneeling on the floor, and said seriously: "Father-in-law is here, please accept my son-in-law's respect."
Wei Shao: "..."
Xie Jue: "..."
"As long as my father-in-law is willing to betroth Miss Wei to me, I can keep talking on my knees!"
Xie Zichen's face was full of solemnity.
How difficult it was for him to marry Wei Lan. Digging into Huanheng's corner, guarding against Yan Lan's old love, and snatching someone from Su Cheng, finally using Rong Ji's divine assist to make Wei Lan settle down, what's the point of kneeling like this now
Wei Shao had nothing to say.
He could only nod his head, so the Xie family's dowry was finally brought in.
The parents of both parties set the wedding date, because Xie Zichen was in a hurry to get married, so the wedding date was set on the fifth day of the next month, and the preparation time was less than half a month. Xie Jue and Wei Shao confirmed again and again: "Are you a little too anxious?"
"It's a good day." Xie Zichen said lightly, "I can get ready, father-in-law can rest assured."
Xie Jue: "..."
He probably forgot that he had a father.
After the time was set, Wei Lan was quite surprised when she learned of the time. Time was so urgent, the two discussed it and decided to only hold this wedding.
The two discussed the process of the wedding. This wedding was held grandly, so they could only follow the normal course on the surface. After picking up the hijab and letting everyone leave, they switched again and asked Wei Lan to lift Xie Zichen's hijab again.
But after the discussion, Wei Lan was still a little worried.
"It's only been a few days, I'm afraid I can't do well with the wedding clothes, right?"
"It's ready." Xie Zichen answered, "I've been ready for a long time."
Wei Lan was slightly taken aback, looked at Xie Zichen, and asked in surprise, "Why did you prepare these?"
Xie Zichen didn't dare to look at her, and turned his face away, with a bit of shyness on his face, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "I remembered your size before, and I always thought that if you were a woman, it would be great if I could marry you."
Wei Lan was a little speechless. Seeing Xie Zichen's nervous expression, she sighed and said, "How long have you been preparing?"
Xie Zichen didn't speak. After a long time, the night wind blew in and gently brushed their faces, as if they had brushed their hearts, causing slight ripples.
"Many years."
"I've thought about this day for many, many years."
The author has something to say:
[Small Theater·Daddy]
Xie Jue: "Zichen probably forgot that he has a father"
Xie Zichen: "I don't need a father who wants to adopt a son for his son at any time. I can give birth myself!"
Xie Jue: "How did you give birth?"
Xie Zichen: "I have a wife."
Wei Lan: "... I thought you were so promising because you said you could give birth..."
