The wife of the power minister's family

Xu Jing was slightly stunned. She never expected that Xiao He would make such a proposal that violated the rules of etiquette and law.

She also thought that these people who lived in ancient times attached great importance to etiquette and rules and would not violate them easily.

I have to say that his proposal sounds very tempting, and it seems to be beneficial to her without any harm, but is there really such a good thing in the world?

She couldn't help but subconsciously look at the other client, but saw that Xiao Yi had put away all the exposed emotions on his face, pursed his lips slightly, and lowered his eyes slightly, making it impossible to see through what he was thinking.

After a moment, Xu Jing made a decision, put aside the fright in her heart, raised a faint smile and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty and Xiao Langjun for the proposal. This matter is of great importance. The daughter of the people needs to go back and think about it carefully." Ichiban.”

She never believed that there was a free lunch in the world. Indeed, judging from her current situation, Xiao He's proposal sounded the best, but the struggle for imperial power had always been complicated, and people in their position had many problems. She couldn't help but worry that if she stepped in, she would sink deeper and deeper. When the time came, she would deal with King Xing, and then King Chen, or King Gong, and it would take years and months for her to truly get out of this muddy water. And out?

What's more, she knows herself. She is just a woman without any family protection or self-protection ability. She can trust Xiao Yi's character based on several previous cooperations, but she cannot fully trust the other three.

If there is any conflict of interest between her and them, she doesn't believe that Xiao Yi can completely stand on her side, let alone them?If she is abandoned or sacrificed by them, I'm afraid she will have no choice but to hide and cry.

However, being involved in the struggle for imperial power was extremely dangerous, and Xu Jing did not dare to completely block her own path. If the situation was really critical, Xu Jing would have no choice but to make a desperate move in order to save her life.

What's more, this proposal was brought up by the Holy One first, so even for His Majesty's sake, she couldn't refuse it outright.

Xiao He raised his eyebrows slightly. This woman was indeed smart, but sometimes she was too smart and would inevitably think too much.

It's just that she didn't refuse directly, which is a good thing.

He glanced at Xiao Yi calmly, smiled slightly and said: "This is indeed not a trivial matter. It is normal for Xu Siniang to think about it carefully."

Wei Yu couldn't help but look at Xu Jing with more and more interest. Feeling Xiao Yi's somewhat warning gaze towards him, he raised his lips in a funny way, lowered his eyes, and did not continue the topic.

Since he became an adult, he, this capable minister, has changed the natural and casual way of getting along with him when he was a child. Every move he makes completely abides by the etiquette of the emperor and his ministers, without even the slightest exception. Although it is understandable for him to do so, there is still some feeling in his heart. Unspeakable regret and nostalgia.

Now, for Xu Siniang, he broke the boundary between monarch and minister that he had always adhered to before, which was also rare.

However, didn’t he also want to remarry Xu Siniang?Under normal circumstances, one should follow their suggestions and push the situation forward.

His current behavior can only show that he respects Xu Siniang very much and wants to protect her mood, far more than his own emotions and desires.

No matter how rigid and boring a person is, he still has his own tenderness.

If he intervenes in their affairs again, he will seem a little unreasonable.

Wei Yu picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip. He didn't continue the topic and said with a smile: "Yanci, now that we have good wine, why are there only two small plates of good food? Even the cats dislike it for such a small portion. , I came here without dinner, as the host, do you want to show off?"

Seeing that the Holy Master did not dwell on this topic anymore, Xu Jing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Yi glanced at him coolly, "Your Majesty's arrival is so sudden. I didn't prepare your Majesty's dinner."

Wei Yu couldn't help but laughed angrily, "You are a fourth-grade official, are you so stingy? I can't eat a few grains of rice from your house, so no matter what, I have to eat this meal even if I don't want to!"

Xu Jing's purpose of coming here has been achieved. She really doesn't want to stay for this meal, but since the Lord is here, it's hard for her to leave first.

Not to mention that Da Chu inherited the relatively open social atmosphere of the previous dynasty, where men and women could drink at the same table, talk, laugh and sing. She couldn't leave on the grounds that men and women were on guard, so she had to sigh secretly, with a bitter look on her heart but no trace of it on her face. We stayed and had dinner together discreetly.By the time the Holy Spirit was so happy and finally willing to leave, it was already past the curfew time.

Xiao Yi, Xiao He and Zhao Jingming went to see the Holy Master in person. Xu Jing stayed alone in the pavilion, worried about what to do tonight.

At this moment, Xianyun, who had disappeared for a long time, suddenly came over, saluted Xu Jing and said, "Mrs. Xu, it's past curfew now. Do you want to stay for one night? Young Master is also here." If he wakes up the next day and doesn’t see Madam Xu, he will definitely be sad.”

As he spoke, he looked at Xu Jing with some anxiety and expectation.

He never thought about letting Madam Xu stay tonight. He saw Madam Xu's rejection of Xiao Mansion in his eyes today. Although he had his own selfish motives, he didn't care about Madam Xu's feelings.

But who would have thought that the Holy Spirit would suddenly appear and stay so late before leaving.

Xu Jing had already thought of this possibility when she saw that it was getting later and later. However, when she heard Xianyun say it, she couldn't help but remain silent.

Xianyun said quickly: "If...if Madam Xu is unwilling, you can still ask Mr. Lang to send Madam Xu back."

Although there is a curfew in the city, it has always been for ordinary people.

At this moment, Xiao Yi, who had gone to see someone off, came back. Although he only heard the words behind Xianyun, it did not prevent him from guessing what they were talking about just now.

He glanced at Xu Jing, walked up to her, and said calmly with black eyes: "If you want to go back, I can send you off."

Xu Jing raised her eyes unconsciously, and was slightly startled when she saw the two faint blushes on Xiao Yi's jade-like cheeks, and the dark eyes that, although still calm, were somewhat tired and confused.

Tonight, he seemed to drink quite a lot, and the Holy One didn't know why. He kept finding reasons for Xiao Yi to drink, as if Xiao Yi had offended him somewhere.

He is still able to remain clear-headed now, which is really because he has a good drinking capacity.

Seeing that he was alone, Xu Jing couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Langjun and the others have left too?"

"It was too late, so they didn't go back. I asked the servant to take them to the guest room."

Xiao Yi said, as if he was afraid of causing any pressure on her, and added, "They are used to staying here, but you are different."

Xu Jing hesitated and struggled for a moment, and finally shook her head slightly and said: "That's all, Mr. Xiao is also very tired tonight, so I won't bother Mr. Xiao. Even I have to stay with Mr. Xiao for one night. "

Even if officials can use their status to go out during the curfew, they must have a legitimate reason. This is Xijing, a place where various forces are complicated. If Xiao Yi goes out casually and is caught, he will inevitably be involved in a book. .

It was just to send her back at night, it was really unnecessary.

Anyway, they were known as their ex-couple, so she couldn't stay here that night. In the eyes of outsiders, her relationship with Xiao Yi was complicated enough.

Xiao Yi was stunned and asked again uncertainly, "Are you sure?"

Xu Jing suddenly felt suspicious, "Is it possible that Mr. Xiao is unwilling?"

"Of course not," Xiao Yi slowly shook his head, looking into Xu Jing's dark eyes, which seemed to reveal a little gentle starlight in the trance, "I just can't believe that Madam Xu would be willing to stay here." ( End of this chapter)
