Chapter 352: What a good couple with black sesame filling.
How can they not be anxious?
Shen Zhiyi had an argument with his concubine sister at night, and the fight was so fierce that he was slapped by Shen's father who rushed over.
Therefore, when Xiao Huaiyan saw Yu Tingwan coming out of the house, he hurriedly greeted her with a smile.
Yu Tingwan was bright and beautiful, and her steps were brisk. She had just heard the noise outside in the house.
Without waiting for Xiao Huaiyan to speak, she smiled.
"How did Prince Xiao know that Shen Zhiyi asked me to go out to the teahouse to listen to music?"
Xiao Huaiyan didn't know.
It turned out that Yu Tingwan was going out at this moment.
Hearing this, he thought about it.
"It just so happens that I have time now, why don't I give my sister-in-law a ride?"
"That's not a problem for you."
"Before listening to the music, I have to accompany her to choose some jewelry."
Listening to music and choosing jewelry, it can be seen that nothing is wrong.
Xiao Huaiyan was about to breathe a sigh of relief.
Yu Tingwan said softly: "How did the prince know again."
Xiao Huaiyan:? ?
What does he know! !
"The wife of the Marquis of Ningguo, that is, my aunt, invited some girls to her house in three days, hoping to meet Yun Ling."
Oh.
Xiao Huaiyan had indeed heard about this. He
didn't care. It was
none of his business.
Yu Tingwan: "Shen Zhiyi also received the invitation."
Xiao Huaiyan:?
"Look, she hurriedly sent someone to pass the message early in the morning, insisting that the jewelry at home was out of date, and asked me to accompany her to buy some new ones."
Yu Tingwan straightened Bu Yao, who was shaking in the wind: "I think she attaches great importance to going to the Ningguo Marquis's Mansion."
Xiao Huaiyan:...
"What's wrong with Prince Xiao? Why don't you smile?"
Xiao Huaiyan:...
Good, good.
He thought Yu Tingwan was weak and could be bullied before.
Yu Tingwan then said to Wei Zhao: "I'm going out."
Wei Zhao: "The carriage is ready for you."
Watching Yu Tingwan leave briskly, Xiao Huaiyan took a deep breath.
"What a nice couple with black sesame filling!"
Wei Zhao smiled: "You're flattered."
Xiao Huaiyan suppressed his thoughts and wanted to finish the business as soon as possible, and then go to see how gorgeously Shen Zhiyi would dress up!
He said seriously.
"Did Ying Yin look for you?"
Wei Zhao ignored him.
Xiao Huaiyan said again: "He has recently got an aide, who is very capable. Two years ago, Ying Yin was ordered to leave the capital and go to Jiangnan to handle a case. It was he who helped to solve the case. Ying Yin valued talents and wanted to recruit him, but the man refused on the grounds of poor health."
"Maybe he gave too much, and now he has come to Beijing to be his aide."
Xiao Huaiyan was disdainful.
"I heard he is very stingy and wants the best of everything."
"I saw him once, and he looked scarier than you who are about to die. His face was pale, and he was still wearing a thick fur coat at this time of year."
The weapon in his hand was handy. Wei Zhao tried it and was quite satisfied, but there were a few clumsy places that needed to be revised.
"You are talking to me for once."
Xiao Huaiyan put down the wine: "The crown prince is dead, I don't believe you are responsible for this. What do you think? Tell me so that I can have a clear idea."
With a click, Wei Zhao put the weapon on the stone table.
He took the wine, opened the cork, and poured a glass for Xiao Huaiyan.
The color of the wine is clear and transparent, but not light, strong but not gaudy, mellow and fragrant.
"The best Xifeng wine, try it."
Xiao Huaiyan was so angry that he almost laughed.
"You are quite a good person. You use my wine to entertain me?"
Wei Zhao didn't think there was anything wrong, and poured himself a glass. He turned his wrist slightly, and the wine swayed slightly but not a drop was spilled.
"What's the difference between Ying Yin and the one sitting on the dragon throne now?"
"When I need you, I'll be very kind to you. When I don't need you, I'll think you've lived too long."
He said in a flat tone, "You should know that my father's death was not simple. If I support Ying Yin, the tragedy of Shunguo Mansion will happen again."
The air was thin for a moment.
Wei Zhao glared at him, "Come to find me, is this... thought about it?"
"What else can I do?"
Since Wei Zhao had escaped death but pretended to be seriously ill, he knew that Wei Zhao had something on his mind and would make a big move.
"To be honest, I have discussed it with my father."
"Although he didn't nod, he didn't stop me either."
Xiao Huaiyan lowered his eyes, drank the wine in the glass, and put it down heavily.
He wanted to laugh, but it was very reluctant.
The wind rustled, blowing his clothes.
"I have been doing nothing these years, pretending to be stupid and dumb outside. Even my mother was kept in the dark. She was disappointed with me and was often annoyed that I had no future. I was on the list of all the playboys in the capital, and I often had to make a scene to let others see that Xiao Jiazi had done something stupid again. Even if I had a girl I liked later, I couldn't crush Chu Liulang in the Imperial College examination like I did Zhou Xuan."
He could be the last one. He
could also be the second to last.
There were 400 people of the same level as him in the Imperial College. Chu Liulang was often outside the top 100, but once he performed exceptionally well and ranked 78th,
but he couldn't be the 77th.
Shen Zhiyi was so arrogant.
"She wouldn't think I was incompetent, but I know she wouldn't like me."
Even if he woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep, he still looked down on himself.
"I am suffering, and my father sees it, how can he not suffer?"
"But my loyal and brave mansion has no foundation, and your Wei family is a family of nobility, but now you are the only one left to support it, so he dare not gamble for this."
Imperial power is heaven.
Emperor Ying Qian has too many lives in his hands.
He is always warning all officials not to cross the line.
"It's okay to have a lot of skills and be frustrated for these years, but I always want to fight for it. I can't let the descendants of the Xiao family be as cowardly as me in the future."
The emotion in Xiao Huaiyan's eyes became weaker and weaker, and he no longer had the playful smile of the past.
"But there are only a few princes."
"The second prince..."
was interrupted.
Wei Zhao said coldly: "He is a cripple."
He is still a cripple who explodes at the slightest touch.
Xiao Huaiyan: "It's good that the Fourth Prince agreed. Although he has some small thoughts, it's harmless. It's just that his biological mother is of low status and has no ability or courage."
"You can't always set your sights on the fetus in Lipin's belly. Not to mention that Lipin has an affair, the child has no blood relationship with the emperor, and it's not certain whether it's a boy or a girl."
Xiao Huaiyan analyzed carefully.
"You have to think about it carefully."
Looking around, there is no suitable candidate among those with the surname
Ying. Those who are not surnamed Ying.
Xiao Huaiyan was suspicious and his eyes wandered around Wei Zhao: "You don't want to do it yourself."
This is appropriate.
In Shangjing, the only one he trusted was Wei Zhao.
Wei Zhao was listless: "I don't like to choose two-character names."
Xiao Huaiyan:...
But they are all two-character names!
Thinking of something, Xiao Huaiyan stood up suddenly and acted as if he was suddenly enlightened.
He tried to accept this, but it was really difficult, and his hands pressed on the stone table.
"Don't you want me to go?"
"I'm touched that you think highly of me, and I'm glad that we haven't been brothers for nothing these years. But no, I really can't."
Wei Zhao looked at him in silence.
Xiao Huaiyan's voice became smaller and smaller as he tried to refuse.
He hesitated and asked.
"Am I being sentimental?"
Wei Zhao said with a sigh.
"You are quite good at flattering yourself."
Xiao Huaiyan: ...
Wei Zhao stroked the wall of the cup with his fingertips: "In a few days, I'll find a suitable day and take you to meet someone."
"No, you've met him."
