Chapter 154: Accident
Xie Wuzheng was sixteen years old, with long eyebrows and bright eyes, a high nose and thin lips, although he was only one year older than Xie Tu, he was not feminine.
Since he learned to ride and shoot when he was young, his sitting posture is as straight as a green pine, his shoulders are wider and his waist is narrower, and he is full of heroic spirit. The childishness between his eyebrows has not yet been taken off, but he is already elegant.
The Xie clan is flourishing now, with many children, and of course their appearances vary.
However, although the selection of officials in the Guochao emphasizes the imperial examination, the specific operation is quite influenced by the previous dynasty, and it pays attention to "sentence and written judgment". Going to the exam this time is of great significance to the Xie family, so the selected children, whether it is the elder Xie Heng or the young Xie Tu, can be called handsome and handsome.
And the cousin of the Jiang family who came with him also had a good appearance, white and beautiful.
However, Xie Wuzheng is in it, but he is still unpretentious and attracts attention.
Yun Fenghuang looked at it and nodded secretly. Compared with the pampered Ji Minggan, this sale was even worse, and Chunjia probably liked it.
As for talent and learning, in fact, it was Yun Fenghuang's speculation about Chunjia, what the emperor valued the most today was not necessarily his academic work on paper, but his practical ability to do things.
After all, what Chunjia lacks now is not a talented man who can talk to him about the past and present, but what he lacks is a capable minister who can do things for him in a down-to-earth manner and share his worries.
Isn't Du Langu so simple in the emperor's heart?
Yun Fenghuang is not very clear about Xie Wuzheng's ability. Considering that this cousin is only sixteen, she couldn't help but look at her eleventh cousin Xie Fu again.
Xie Fu has a romantic nature, but he has a majestic appearance, with sword eyebrows, star eyes, wasp waist and ape arms, which is the kind of majestic appearance and dignified appearance that are most admired by officials in the imperial court. When he sits solemnly, he is simply He was upright and awe-inspiring, but at this moment, he noticed Yun Fenghuang's gaze, turned his head and smiled at her, his eyebrows fluttered and his eyes moved, revealing a little cynical taste.
It's not that Xie Fu deliberately teased his cousin... He has always been such a person, and he doesn't behave properly when facing young girls, whether they are relatives or outsiders.
If it wasn't for his outstanding academic performance, it is estimated that the elders in the clan would not let him go out at all this time.
Well, but Xie Fu still has the ability.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have endured the marriage urging at home for so many years.
Although he is not the eldest son of the second wife, Xie Tu of the second wife is about to discuss marriage, and this brother is still single, how can the elders of the whole family let him go? He doesn't have any means, but he can't stand the finger pointing of many parents.
Yun Fenghuang sighed in his heart, there is no way, the lintel of the Xie family is too low, many brothers may be talented in the clan, but they may not be enough to look at the battlefield of the harem.
While chatting with everyone, while deliberating, she felt that only Xie Fu and Xie Wuzheng had more hope, so she wondered how she could quietly help the two brothers play the side drum when they met Chunjia later.
At this time, the topic came to the scholars gathered in the imperial capital at this moment. Xie Heng and others said a few names, and Yun Fenghuang wrote them down one by one, and hinted that they could ask for more details, especially those young unmarried villains. It is convenient for her to slander Chunjia and kill Shangzhu's competitors ahead of schedule.
While talking, Xie Tu and Jiang Zhui ran in, looking a little panicked.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Yun Fenghuang asked in surprise.
"...We seem to have bumped into a nobleman just now." Xie Tu collected himself, and said, "Just now a palace servant passed by with a shoulder, and the appearance of the nobleman on the shoulder...is different from ordinary people, we...um...we... ..."
Seeing him hesitating, Yun Fenghuang glanced at Qingdu, Qingdu agreed, and hurriedly went out to inquire.
"No hurry, take your time." In fact, Yun Fenghuang had already guessed who it might be. Seeing Xie Tu's nervousness, she said softly, "Your Seventeenth Sister still has some face in the palace, so it may not be a big deal."
Xie Tu secretly glanced at Xie Heng and Xie Xiliu who were glaring at him, shrank his head, and said weakly: "We... just looked a few more times! Really, we didn't say anything! Before we came, Brother Nine They have all warned, and besides, it is a female family member, even if we are outside, we will definitely not talk too much! But she... um... she suddenly cried!"
The corners of Yun Fenghuang's mouth twitched: "Understood, you guys go to the side room and sit down for a while, just pretend you don't know, I still have something to talk to my brothers."
"Sister Seventeen, who...?" Xie Tu hesitated, "She is still at the door, and the palace servants are persuading her."
"It's right at the door, I'm reuniting with my family here, who has the time to meddle in business." Yun Fenghuang waved his hand, signaling him not to panic, just in time for Qing Du to come back, and whispered: "Your Majesty, it's His Royal Highness Princess Ming Hui. "
Yun Fenghuang said "Yes", "Let her go."
He continued to talk to Xie Heng and the others, but Xie Heng and the others couldn't take it seriously, Xie Heng looked at Xie Xiliu frequently, Xie Xiliu said: "Sister Seventeen, you'd better deal with this matter first, lest you What kind of disturbance is caused?"
He also frowned and said Xie Tu Jiangzhu, "Before I came, I told you again and again that the palace is no better than the outside, always remember to be cautious in your words and deeds, why are you still like Meng Lang?! Since you are a female family member, you shouldn't look too much even if you are outside. Who will tell you?" His guts are in the palace..."
"Brother Thirteen, don't worry." Seeing the dejected looks of the two younger brothers, Yun Fenghuang couldn't bear it, so he interrupted Xie Xiliu, "That's Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui, she has always been good-natured, so she won't care."
Do you still stay at the door and cry?
The older brothers didn't believe it, but Yun Fenghuang didn't intend to go out to coax him right away, and they couldn't do anything, so they could only persuade him gently: "It's golden branches and jade leaves..."
"That's why I can't go out to coax you." Seeing this, Yun Fenghuang had no choice but to explain, "Otherwise, if the incident spreads and the gossip-talking woman asks the bottom line, what good will it do for His Highness's reputation?"
This time, Yun Fenghuang really didn't mean to bully Princess Minghui, it's just that this golden branch and jade leaf was very worried about her body. If it was rumored inside and outside the palace that the princess was too fat, the concubine's family who entered the palace for the first time would be curious to watch , was so angry that she cried loudly in front of the concubine's door...Princess Minghui might not be able to survive.
However, Xie Heng and the others went in without knowing it, and continued to say: "At any rate, please come in and sit down for a while, and my sister can comfort me for a while? I will avoid the wing room first."
"...Okay." Yun Fenghuang thought for a while, after all, he hadn't seen his family for a long time, and he couldn't be too disrespectful to them, so he asked Xie Hengyu to take him to the side room to avoid, and tidied up his clothes , got up and walked out.
When they arrived at the gate of Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, they saw Princess Minghui was sobbing standing under an ancient tree not far away surrounded by a group of palace people. Next to it is a shoulder pad that no one cares about now, with exquisite and complicated carvings, and coupled color pinched gold silk crepe gauze hanging around it. very different.
The shoulders, which are like clouds and wind, are hung with jade-colored gold-threaded gauze, which is considered light and thin, but it is not so careless. When people look in from the outside, they can only see it dimly and cannot see it. Specific looks and expressions.
The princess is probably afraid of the heat, so she changed to this kind of hanging and unhanging ones, otherwise, even if they met Xie Tujiang wandering around the door, the two teenagers would not notice the difference in the posture of the nobleman in front of them, so they would be curious to wait and see , leading to this storm.
In the current situation, Yun Fenghuang is not afraid of Princess Minghui, so there is nothing to be nervous about, but... Take a closer look, why is Chunjia there?
"Your Majesty." She sighed in her heart, walked over to salute, and asked in surprise, "What's the matter, Your Highness? Just now, someone from below came to report that His Highness seemed to be in trouble at the door, and I thought something was missing. how come???"
Yun Fenghuang said these words with sincerity, as if he didn't know anything.
Sure enough, Princess Minghui was not so shameless, she really couldn't tell the reason for crying, she just choked up and said: "I want to go back."
Chunjia said softly: "Then I'll take you back... Come on, wipe your face, it's hot, look at you sweating so much."
These words are capable of caring for the princess, but somehow they poked the princess' heart, but she opened the handkerchief handed over by the emperor and said loudly: "I know that I am as fat as a pig, and I sweat more than others. Brother Huang reminded me again and again!"
If the princess did this before Chunjia came to power, the left and right must continue to coax the princess.
But now it is different from the past, the people who waited on the princess were ashamed when they heard it, and hurriedly pulled the princess to plead Chunjia's sin - she didn't pull, but Chunjia's expression didn't change, and said with a smile: "What is Minghui thinking? I’m just afraid that you will be too hot. Besides, who said you are fat like a pig? Golden branches and jade leaves are born noble, who dares to arrange them?! Could it be that you don’t want the lives of your family!”
Yun Fenghuang interjected: "Your Majesty said, what is the identity of Her Majesty the Princess? How can she talk and slander at will? Whoever despises His Majesty and disrespects the royal family should be severely punished!"
"..." Princess Minghui looked at her with tears in her eyes, she didn't say anything, she stopped making trouble, and said in a low voice, "It's nothing, I'm going back."
The imperial concubine had to ask a few more times, but the princess insisted that there was nothing wrong, even if she clamored to go back to her residence, she could only watch her climb onto the shoulders, and a few strong servants carried her slowly. Go away slowly.
"Did Your Majesty come to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion?" Seeing this, Yun Fenghuang looked back and asked Chunjia.
Chunjia said: "Didn't you report to be reunited with your family today? Why did I come to disturb you? I went to Danruo Court, and I have already reached the door. I heard from the people below that Minghui is crying here, afraid of you." She bullied my sister too much, so I came here specially."
Yun Fenghuang was not happy: "Your Majesty's words, I don't dare to be a concubine! Who is the concubine, how dare to bully the golden branches and jade leaves? But the maid said that His Highness was crying at the door, and I was startled, thinking what happened!"
"Why is Minghui crying here? You don't know?" Chunjia folded his hands, looking at her with a smile that was not a smile, "This is the blood of Emperor Xiaozong's blood. Even if my concubine loves blood relatives, don't be too partial." yes."
"Your Majesty clearly learned that although the two younger brothers of my concubine's temperament are a little out of character because of their youth, they are not rude." Yun Fenghuang looked at him for a moment, then bowed his head and said, "It's just the first time I entered Gong Xin was curious, and wandered around the door for a while, just happened to meet the princess passing by in a car. Because she had never seen a nobleman before and was not familiar with etiquette, she saluted a little slowly, and then Her Royal Highness cried... two younger brothers I was very terrified, but I was not afraid of Her Royal Highness Princess Tangtu, so I avoided the Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion and urged my concubine to come out to see what was going on."
Chunjia said "Yes", "I know."
The implication is that if your two younger brothers hadn't done anything, this matter would not have settled so well.
Yun Fenghuang bit his lips: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generosity."
She screamed in her heart that something was wrong, seeing the emperor's attitude, not to mention dissatisfaction with the Xie family's children, but it's not a good opinion either.
So the Lord's matter of planning...?
She was frowning secretly, but she heard Chunjia say: "You two young brothers who disturbed Minghui, could it be possible that they also came to take the exam? At this age, they are high school graduates, but they are very talented?"
