Mo Yanliang

Chapter 45

Except for Xia Huaixun and Li Yuanyu, all the veterans who had been officials for decades knew Fenghuang's temperament very well.

Zheng Shangshu secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

According to their original plan, the person who did this was an ordinary young official.

Wen Jing and he are old and high-ranking, and they are too close to His Highness the Crown Prince. It would not only be disrespectful to personally report a little girl, but it would also easily arouse His Majesty's suspicion.

But today Li Yuanyu chose to ask for the decree after the court had dispersed, and that official was not qualified to stay for discussion, which disrupted their plans.

The opportunity is fleeting, and someone must stand up at this time.

Compared with Wen Jing, he became the one with a lower rank, and this time he did not accompany him to the palace, so the risk could only be borne by him.

Fortunately, His Majesty was persuaded after all...

Xia Huaixun saw everything in his eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Xiguang." Fenghuang called out suddenly.

"My minister is here." He stepped forward and saluted.

"Is what Zheng Shangshu said just now true?"

"Weichen has never been involved in family affairs, and he has not been in Beijing in the past few months, so it is not good to speak nonsense."

His expression was very calm, and he neither refuted Zheng Shangshu nor favored his niece in his words, making him more convincing.

Fenghuang's suspicion dissipated a lot, and he asked again: "How does King Yasu view this matter?"

Li Yuanyu bowed and gave a salute: "Weichen and Miss Xia have known each other since childhood, and I have no doubts in her character. Please also severely punish those villains who spread rumors."

Zheng Shangshu was furious: "King Yasu don't want to hurt people with bad words!"

Li Yuanyu smiled lightly: "My lord is over half a century old and in a high position, not only can't tell the truth from the fake, but also spread rumors everywhere.

It's really out of style to make you jump into a rage with just one sentence now. "

Wen Jing narrowed his eyes.

He grew up in Shuocheng, and thought he knew the Yasu people fairly well.

He is tall and upright, and has an extremely tough folk style. He is always capable of doing things but not talking.

The young King Yasu had a good mouth, and he forced the Minister of Rites to lose all etiquette.

Zheng Shangshu was trembling with anger, a vulgar and savage foreigner actually criticized him in front of His Majesty!

Li Yuanyu said to Fenghuang: "The humble minister was really angry just now, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me for my disrespect.

But Weichen still couldn't vomit some words.

Like Mr. Zheng's words and deeds just now, if he is in Weichen's hometown, he will definitely have a showdown with him today! "

Fenghuang almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Li Yuanyu and Zheng Shangshu have a showdown?
One is old and one is young, one is thin and one is strong.

One has no strength to restrain a chicken, and the other grows up on horseback.

If two people like this had an appointment, the scene would be really...

Zheng Shangshu couldn't laugh at all, and felt that he was humiliated by a young boy of a foreign race.

"Your Majesty, King Yasu is confusing the public. How could the pampered lady in the Grand Master's Mansion have known him since he was thousands of miles away?"

Fenghuang can naturally hear his implication.

Taishi Xia has only three granddaughters in total, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be willing to betroth to a man of a different race thousands of miles away.

The Xia family must have asked Li Yuanyu to help in order to cover up the scandal between Miss Xia and Gu Yannan.

He looked at Xia Huaixun again: "Xi Guang, I have heard from the grand master what happened to King Yasu when he was young, but he and your second girl..."

Xia Huaixun said: "When Weichen's second niece was young, she went to Shuocheng General's Mansion to live with her eldest sister-in-law for a few years.

My elder brother intended to betroth his second niece to Yuan Yu in his early years, but at that time the children were still young and temporarily put it on hold.

Now that Yuan Yu has inherited the throne, and his second niece has reached the age of Ji, that's why the marriage is put on the agenda. "

Zheng Shangshu said: "Miss Xia's words are a bit wrong. Miss Xia is not the daughter of General Xia. Her parents should decide on her marriage, right?"

Xia Huaixun smiled, but did not answer.

Although family ugliness should not be publicized, everyone who should know about the bad things about the second brother and second sister-in-law knows it, so there is no need to mention it here.

Feng Huang said: "General Xia is the eldest son of the grand master and the future head of the family, so it is understandable to make decisions about the marriage of my niece.

But this matter is related to Yu Guo's careful work, and it is necessary to be more careful. "

Xia Huaixun bowed and said: "Your Majesty's words are very true. Only by finding out the truth can the rumors be quelled, and the marriage between King Yasu and his second niece can go smoothly."

Fenghuang nodded, and told Eunuch An beside him: "You go to the Grand Master's Mansion yourself, and bring Miss Xia to the Imperial Study Room. Be careful with your words, don't scare her."

Eunuch An knew in his heart that this meant not letting him leak the news.

Just as he was about to answer, Fenghuang added: "Well... call the third girl, I have something to ask her."

"Yes." Eunuch An walked out of the hall quickly.

Xia Huaixun said in his heart, this arrangement of His Majesty is also a surprise.

Yue'er's adaptability is much stronger than Shuang'er's. With her by her side, the chance of success is even higher.

In the snow garden, the two sisters are making final preparations.

Xia Fanshuang has practiced the piano well, but she still felt a little guilty when she thought of playing it in front of Emperor Feng.

She looked at Xia Yueliang pitifully: "Third sister, can you really not be with me?"

"If I can even make decisions about this matter, you don't have to go here at all."

Xia Fanshuang was a little discouraged.

That's right, if the third sister could be His Majesty's master, she would have dragged that old fox and his family to feed the dogs long ago, so there's no need for such trouble.

Xia Yueliang patted her on the cheek: "It is said that a strong man is not worth his life, but the second sister is a lucky person, and she will be fine."

"Really?"

"Of course it is true, you have been dressed in rich clothes since you were a child, and you will soon be queen again, and you will still be rich in rich clothes.

The second brother-in-law is tall and handsome, and treats you with affection, but you are still not satisfied? "

If it were any other girl with such a fate, she would burn incense and worship Buddha every day!
Xia Fanshuang has always been the most coaxing, and her mood immediately improved a lot.

When she finished listening to Eunuch An's words, she wished she could cheer.

The third sister is right, she is a lucky person!

Xia Yueliang felt a trace of envy in her heart.

It is easy for a person with a pure personality to have pure happiness, but she has lived two lifetimes, and she is still a worrying life.

The two sisters changed their clothes and got into the palace carriage with Eunuch An.

Seeing that Xia Fanshuang could still laugh, Eunuch An couldn't bear it.

This girl really has no scheming at all, she doesn't know what she is about to face.

In other words, if there was something unclear between her and Yu Guoxi, she would have died of fright when she heard His Majesty's call, okay?

Zheng Shangshu, that old villain, really lacks great virtue, and he has the heart to pour dirty water on such a simple girl.

Those so-called rumors were clearly spread on purpose by them!

Half an hour later, the two sisters had appeared in front of Fenghuang.

The extremely spacious Imperial Study Room seemed a bit crowded today.

Except for a few important officials, the Crown Prince and King Xing'an, as well as the eldest grandson Yan Feilu and Yan Fuqing were all there.
