This sentence contained a lot of information. It seemed that Liu Zhiyue and Si Qi were of the same mind. Chen Heng smiled slightly: "The Si family is a big family in Yuezhou, and Xie Jian is the prime minister. It's a good thing for them to have exchanges with each other."
"The Si family has made a lot of efforts for Xie Jian to reach his current position. His ability to use and calculate people is admirable." Liu Zhiyue said lightly.
It is very likely that Xie Jian will need to contribute to her and her two sons' future, so she has to take good care of this relationship.
Chen Heng: “…” She also admired Liu Zhiyue.
At this time, the two of them came to a pavilion. The maid placed several charcoal stoves around, so it was not cold.
The two sat down and the maid immediately served tea and snacks.
"I haven't seen Chen Yuan for many years. How are he and his wife?" Chen Heng asked.
Speaking of Chen Yuan, Liu Zhiyue recalled the time she accidentally caught him looking at her with such affectionate eyes, and felt a surge of irritation in her heart: "I don't see him very often in a year, so I don't know much."
Can't see each other often? Xie Jian said that Chen Yuan solved a lot of problems for her and stabilized the position of the head of the Si family. "I only have this one brother, and I hope he will have a great future. Please take good care of him in the future."
Considering the relationship between Chen Yuan and Xie Jian, Liu Zhiyue knew what happened to her, and Xie Jian probably had guessed it, so there must be something behind his words.
"Since Madam Xie has asked me to do so, I will ask my husband to take good care of him." Liu Zhiyue said. Now she also needed Shen Yuan's help.
"I'll have tea instead of wine. Thank you, County Master."
When Liu Zhiyue left, the snow fell even heavier.
As soon as he walked out of the door, Xie Jian just walked out of the sedan chair, and the two of them bumped into each other.
Looking at the man in a black crane cloak on the snowy ground, his navy blue prime minister's official robe was faintly visible through the crane cloak. Under the white snow, his face was cold and with a hint of oppression. He glanced at her coldly, and when he saw Chen Heng beside her, the coldness in his eyes was replaced by tenderness.
"Thank you, Prime Minister." Liu Zhiyue put on a smile and bowed.
"County Lady." Xie Jian nodded politely and distantly, "Goodbye."
Liu Zhiyue wanted to say a few more words, but the other party had already told her to go slowly, so she could only smile and leave, knowing that there was still a long way to go.
The moment the carriage curtain was lowered, Liu Zhiyue suddenly felt a dull pain in her chest, which disappeared after a while. She felt puzzled.
Watching the carriage from Prince Ning's mansion leave, Shen Heng looked at Xie Jian strangely: "Why did you come back at this time?"
Xie Jian took off his crane cloak and draped it over Ah Heng's shoulders: "It's so cold, and you don't even know to put on a cloak."
"I just ate the red ginseng stew my sister-in-law made me a few days ago, and I'm really hot-tempered."
Xie Jian took Ah Heng's hand and went into the house: "I came out to get some fresh air. I missed you suddenly, so I came back."
Watching the servants doing their own things, Shen Heng stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek: "I miss you too."
Xie Jian was stunned for a moment, his eyes darkened, and he whispered, "Let's talk about it tonight."
Chen Heng: “…” Well, she didn’t mean anything else.
Xie Jian has always been restrained and never looks at other women, but just a small movement from her can evoke a reaction in him.
This point, Chen Heng sometimes feels helpless.
Blame myself for being too charming.
By the end of the year, good news came from the front, saying that Northern Qi could no longer hold on. After all, they were in someone else's territory. Although they had captured a large state like Wanzhou, the supply of food and grass was still a big problem.
Coupled with the occasional resistance from the people of Wanzhou, such a protracted war is extremely unwise.
That night, when Shen Heng was about to fall asleep, Dawei suddenly appeared outside the window: "Madam, the master will rest in the palace tonight. The emperor is not in good condition."
