Not only that, the other party also gave Xiaocao a charming smile and raised his glass.
Xiaocao withdrew her gaze as if nothing had happened, pretending she didn't see it at all. In her eyes, Mr. Xie Sanye would always be labeled as an "old rogue". It was just that she was distracted when she first met him in Zhao County, but now, to be honest, she was completely immune to it.
She has always had an attitude of "it's none of my business" towards Mr. Xie Sanye and Baoer's affairs, but now it seems that she can't continue like that. If she doesn't understand the situation, she can't take the initiative. By then, she might be led by him by the nose, and she doesn't know what the consequences will be.
Mr. Xie looked normal, without any embarrassment. The people at the same table did not see what happened in such a short time, and asked him about it with some confusion. Mr. Xie responded calmly.
All of them are younger than Mr. Xie Sanye, but judging from his face, he is the youngest. It would be fine if you don’t know this, but anyone who knows it would probably be jealous. No matter where you are, this state of “agelessness” is what people pursue.
Xiaocao's mood was obviously affected a little, but of course, only a little.
Everything was normal after that—well, it should be said that everything was normal all the time.
When Wei Tingyu was rewarded, Xiaocao finally realized what he had done, but she was not surprised. After all, she had already had some vague guesses before, and considering that he was doing well now, Xiaocao did not intend to settle the score with him. However, he still had to receive the necessary "education" to make sure that the importance of "paying attention to one's health" was deeply engraved in his bones.
Master Wei inexplicably felt a chill on his back. After meeting Xiaocao's gaze, he seemed to know the reason. He sighed in his heart, with a feeling of "as expected". However, if he had to do it again, he would still make the same choice. However, when thinking about how to face his Xuan'er in the future, Master Wei still couldn't help feeling a little weakened.
Of course, Prince Wei couldn't think too much now, because there was someone jumping up and down beside him, making people want to beat him up.
The young master originally thought that he would be able to sit in the position of the commander of Kaiping Guard for a long time. Although it was only an acting position, the position was still his. However, he was removed from the position so quickly. If it was anyone else, it would be fine. At most, he would just beat the person up. After all, he didn't really need the position. But it happened to be Wei Tingyu!
—Originally he wanted to have “friendly cooperation” with Wei Tingyu, and he didn’t mind shielding Wei Tingyu in public, but what was the result
No matter whether he was really angry or pretending to be angry, he was itching to beat Wei Tingyu up.
So at this moment, Young Master Fan was grinding his teeth beside Young Master Wei.
Wei Tingyu looked sideways at him, "I'm not fully recovered yet. Young Master, do you think Xuan'er will be angry if you attack me?" He lowered his voice, with indifference, boasting, and perhaps a little provocation in his fearlessness. In short, the originally calm man was tainted with the spirit of a young boy like the Little Overlord.
How could the little bully not know that Wei Tingyu did it on purpose? He almost exploded this time. "Just wait for me!"
Wei Tingyu smiled lightly, which Fan Wuguo regarded as a serious provocation. He almost lost control of his temper and lost his temper on the spot. Then he was warned by Emperor Xuanren.
It is true that Wei Tingyu is steady and calm, but in fact, he is also a down-to-earth young man. It is normal for him to do something unusual occasionally. He did not let Young Master Fan "be a cheapskate" from time to time and tease him first.
Wei Tingyu became the commander of Kaiping Guards. Naturally, Fan Wuguo was not the only one affected. Before that, no one knew about Emperor Xuanren's plan. After all, no one had received the news. And it was in the name of reward. Who would jump out to oppose at this juncture? Moreover, Wei Tingyu was originally a third-rank official. Although it was just a title, it was not an empty title. Becoming the commander of Kaiping Guards seemed to be just a move. That's all? Bullshit!
The Censorate is not so likable, but Kaiping Guard is a bit disgusting.
However, Kaiping Guard was directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor and had great power. The emperor might intervene at any time. Even if it was related to other aspects, he would basically bypass them and prevent them from interfering.
Now, a young man who has suddenly emerged has been allowed to take over. He is in his early twenties and is already a powerful official of the third rank. Not to mention the fact that he also has the identity of Princess Anguo's fiancé. Is the emperor confirming Princess Anguo's position
Although Princess Anguo was a woman and had nothing to do with the harem and did not interfere in government affairs, no one could ignore her influence.
Or is it simply to further consolidate Princess Anguo's position
After much thought, I still can't be sure whether there is really a connection here.
However, only Emperor Xuanren himself knew his real purpose. Who could ask him for an explanation
Emperor Xuanren sat firmly on the high throne, unmoved, so the last reward he was given was naturally given to Xiaocao.
Xiaocao is now in a state where there is nothing more that can be given to her. It is also not appropriate to reward her family members, so naturally the only things that can be given are those that are visible. Then, after confirming the "Princess Anguo's Mansion", Emperor Xuanren did not give Xiaocao a chance to refuse. Apart from anything else, there must be a place to house several hundred guards.
"If An Guo wants to live in the Wenren family, then just leave the Princess Mansion alone and go back occasionally."
It would be disrespectful not to live in this mansion which was granted by the emperor's grace. However, since the emperor has already spoken, there is no need to worry about it.
Since he couldn't refuse anyway, Xiao Cao didn't say anything. Even if there was another farm in this reward, which was even better than the one on the previous website, Xiao Cao had already thought about what he would do with it.
It seemed that Princess Anguo's favor had surpassed that of Prince Duan and Fan Wuguo, and she was about to become the undisputed number one.
Ordinary people really can’t envy it.
When the time was almost up, the dishes began to be served one after another, and glasses were clinked and toasted. As the "heroes" of this event, the girls could not escape being toasted and complimented. Even though Xiaocao had made it clear last time that she would not drink alcohol, many people still drank tea instead of wine.
Wei Tingyu had no habit of drinking from the beginning, and he planned to continue this habit in the future. When faced with other people's toasts, he said in a very bachelor-like manner, "The princess doesn't allow drinking." He hasn't even gotten married yet, but he's already acting like a "henpecked husband."
At other times, there might be people who would "persuade" Xiaocao, but no one dared to do so in front of Emperor Xuanren.
After three rounds of drinking, a palace servant found Xiaocao and said there was something important.
Xiao Cao apologized to Emperor Xuanren and left the table. "What's the matter?"
"Your Highness, news came from outside the palace that your sixth cousin had an accident, injured her fetus, and had heavy bleeding. She is in serious condition. We have no choice but to..."
Xiaocao's expression had changed, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense anymore. "Send someone to tell my father that I'm leaving the palace first." He walked at an incredibly fast speed.
Yesterday, Wenren Xi went to Wenren’s house. She is in good condition, although she could give birth at any time. However, a natural onset and an accident are two completely different things. If one is not careful, there may be two deaths.
But why did an accident happen? Wenrenxi's father-in-law was the Shaoqing of the Taichang Temple, a fourth-rank official. Her husband was also young and promising, and was well-known among the young people in the imperial city. Wenrenxi's biological father was not very good, but with the blessing of her uncle, she was considered a good match for him. Such a family was naturally not bad. Wenrenxi had many people serving her, and her natal family was very confident, so her in-laws naturally did not dare to neglect her. In this case, how could an accident happen at this critical moment
She reported the situation to Emperor Xuanren, who frowned slightly, but didn't say anything in the end. The others didn't mind, because she was her cousin with whom she had a good relationship. Given her personality, if she ignored her and something happened, she would probably remember it for the rest of her life.
However, Emperor Xuanren was not very satisfied with the Junior Secretary of the Imperial Secretariat, Lord Zuo. He wondered what he did at home and couldn't even take care of a pregnant woman.
Someone was sent to notify the Wen family and the Zuo family.
Mrs. Du also entered the palace today. When she heard the news, she was extremely anxious. She left the table without caring about her manners and left the palace in a hurry.
Over there, the Zuo family members who got the news were not in a much better mood. They were even more worried. Princess Anguo was famous for protecting her people. If anything happened to Wenren Xi, the Zuo family would be the one to suffer.
