Chapter 333: Climbing High
The news that Xie Jingxi had an accident on the street and knocked Du Xiner down reached Shen Wan's ears and also reached the old lady and the second lady.
The two were stunned at first, and then they were ecstatic.
The second wife was stripped of her imperial title, the second master was demoted two levels, and Xie Jingxi had difficulty finding a wife.
The old lady and her family looked down upon those from lower social status, and those from higher social status looked down upon Xie Jingxi, so they were stuck there, neither high nor low.
Unexpectedly, a pie fell from the sky and landed directly on Xie Jingxi's head. They didn't have to worry about anything at all and got a good marriage.
The daughter of the Left Prime Minister is of such status that she can marry the prince. They are really marrying above their station.
The old lady was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She called the princess and asked her to go to the Left Prime Minister's Mansion to propose marriage to Xie Jingxi. The princess did not refuse the old lady in person. When she returned to Liuliyuan, she made an excuse of dizziness and asked the old lady to arrange someone else to go.
Shen Wan was no longer in the mood to embroider the belt. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that this could not be just an accident. This was exactly the same as when Song Nanyue married Xie Jingze.
Putting down the belt in his hand, Shen Wan went to the study to find Xie Jingyu and asked, "Could the Third Young Master and the Left Prime Minister's daughter be the work of the Third Prince of Beiyue again?"
Xiahou Yi traveled thousands of miles to Ning Dynasty to get rid of Xie Jingyu.
Xiahou Yi couldn't stay in Ning Dynasty for long, so he planned to make Song Nanyue marry Xie Jingze, and let Xiao Yun and Duke Song help Xie Jingze fight for the position of crown prince, and put them to death.
They had just packed up Song Nanyue and Xie Jingze and sent them out of the Jingbei Palace when Du Xiner came again.
The Left Prime Minister would not be willing to let his daughter marry the son of a minor official. The Left Prime Minister and Xiao Yun were in the same boat, and the Duke of Song and Xiao Yun would spare no effort to help the Left Prime Minister.
Xie Jingyu said, "Nine out of ten times, it was done by Xiahou Yi's men."
Shen Wan was so angry that her lower abdomen tightened slightly. "We send one away, and they send another. It's endless."
Xie Jingyu was too annoyed after being tricked twice by the same scheme. "I can only take the trouble to send him away again. The young master of the Jingbei Palace knows his limits after all."
Shen Wan, “…”
I was comforted.
Let them be happy for a few days first. When Du Xiner comes home, send her and Xie Jingxi away together to give the Left Prime Minister and the old lady a surprise.
Without disturbing Xie Jingyu from reading, Shen Wan went back to continue embroidering the belt. Xie Jingyu said, "Tomorrow you will accompany me to the palace."
Shen Wan asked in confusion, "What are you doing in the palace?"
Entering the palace and abusing the emperor...
No, it was to go to the palace to have dinner with the emperor.
But to be honest, it was too suspicious. Xie Jingyu laughed and said, "It made the Queen Mother and the Empress angry."
Shen Wan immediately became excited and full of fighting spirit.
Chen Wan didn't ask any more questions and went back to try to embroider the belt and give it to the emperor tomorrow.
After embroidering for an entire afternoon, my neck was stiff. I was still a little bit done, so I had to embroider for another half an hour in the evening to finish.
Seeing Shen Wan rubbing her neck, Shanhu said, “Don’t get tired, Princess. I’ll accompany you to the garden for a walk.”
"Okay."
Shen Wan went out, and then saw a masked man coming over. The figure looked quite familiar, but the way he walked was a little limp.
Who is this?
Not only did he come to see Lanxuan wearing a mask, he even climbed over the wall.
The man stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Sister-in-law..."
Squeak.
It hurts to open my mouth.
The voice is also familiar.
Shen Wan said, "Prince of Yuzhang?"
"It's me."
Shen Wan asked curiously, "Why are you wearing a mask?"
"Being beaten again?"
Xie Jingyu's voice came from the other side.
Prince Yuzhang said with a grin, "Could you please not be so loud? I still have some dignity to protect."
"At least half of the beating I received was for you."
Xie Jingyu was curious about why Prince Yuzhang said this. The courtyard was not a place to talk, so Xie Jingyu invited Prince Yuzhang to the study. Watching the excitement was definitely more important than taking a walk, so Shen Wan also followed.
After entering the study, Xie Jingyu asked, "What's going on?"
Prince Yuzhang sighed, "What else can I do? It's just bad luck."
Seeing Xie Jingyu looking at him, the Prince of Yuzhang said, "Your third cousin knocked down the daughter of the Left Prime Minister on the street. I happened to be riding by on horseback. I saw someone deliberately knocking over soybeans, so I chased after him. The man went into Tianxiang Tower. I didn't think much about it and chased him in.
In the end, I didn't find the person, and the prince of Weiguo saw me entering Tianxiang Tower. He told my eldest brother about it, and then my father, the king, and my mother found out..."
revenge!
Naked revenge!
The Prince of Weiguo was not the kind of person who would meddle in other people's business. Just because he saved the fourth lady of Wei and threw her into the lotus pond, the Prince of Weiguo deliberately made things difficult for him and gave him a beating.
Prince Yuzhang was the second son of Prince Teng. Because of his meritorious service, he was granted the title of Prince by the Emperor as an exception.
When Prince Yuzhang entered Tianxiang Tower, the Prince of Weiguo saw him and was glad that Prince Yuzhang had thrown his sister into the lotus pond on the day of the blessing banquet, otherwise he would have to marry Prince Yuzhang. She would never marry a man who slept with willows and flowers.
The Prince of Weiguo took only a quick glance and left. Coincidentally, he ran into the Prince of Teng. The Prince of Weiguo and the Prince of Teng were somewhat acquainted, so he greeted them. Knowing that the Prince of Teng was looking for his younger brother, the Prince of Weiguo said, "I just came over there and saw the Prince of Yuzhang entering Tianxiang Tower..."
Everyone in Kyoto knows what Tianxiang Tower is.
The Prince of Teng was afraid that the Prince of Wei had made a mistake, so he asked a servant to guard outside Tianxiang Tower and caught the Prince of Yuzhang red-handed.
When Prince Yuzhang returned, he had not even uttered a word when his own father, the royal family, hit him with a feather duster.
When it came to beating their sons, Prince Teng and Marquis Linjiang were in unison. They even used feather dusters to beat their sons and knew which one was the strongest.
The Prince of Yuzhang felt more and more wronged. "My father and elder brother don't believe it. Do you believe it?"
He looked at Xie Jingyu eagerly.
He told his father the truth, but Prince Teng did not believe him and thought he was making an excuse, so he attacked him even more cruelly.
Of course Xie Jingyu believed it. He was worried that he couldn't find Xiahou Yi, but he didn't expect to know his hiding place.
Seeing Prince Yuzhang wiping his mouth, Xie Jingyu asked, "Do you want your father to apologize to you?"
Prince Yuzhang's eyes widened. "Is this what I want?"
Xie Jingyu said, "If you want to know, go to the palace to see the emperor at lunch tomorrow."
Prince Yuzhang looked at Xie Jingyu and said, "Brother, are you kidding me?"
Xie Jingyu said, "You just want the emperor to help you scold your father, it's not impossible."
Prince Yuzhang immediately said, "Okay, I'll listen to you!"
I was so excited that the corners of my mouth twitched and hurt.
Shen Wan forced himself to hold back his laughter before leaving the study.
Shen Wan went to the garden for a while, came back to continue embroidering, and continued after dinner.
When Xie Jingyu came back from the study, Chen Wan was still embroidering.
Xie Jingyu said, "It's time to rest."
"It's just the last moment."
Xie Jingyu asked, "Why are you in such a hurry to finish embroidering?"
Shen Wan said, "I've finished embroidering it today, and I'll give it to the emperor tomorrow."
Afraid that Xie Jingyu wouldn't believe it, Shen Wanzhan showed it to him, "It's really just the last bit."
Xie Jingyu had no choice but to sit down and wait.
In a quarter of an hour, Shen Wan finished embroidering. Xie Jingyu picked it up and looked at it. "There are no needles on it, right?"
Chen Wan is neither angry nor not angry.
I could only stare at him.
Xie Jingyu had plenty of reasons, "You embroidered it so quickly and beautifully, and there's no needle on it. I'm worried that the Emperor might suspect you didn't embroider it yourself..."
Shen Wan asked, “Are you praising me or tricking me?”
Xie Jingyu put down his belt and picked up Chen Wan horizontally.
Shen Wan blushed and said, “I haven’t taken a shower yet.”
"Then go to the bathroom."
“No, no…”
Resistance is useless.
