Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 277 Eyeing the Cui Family Again
Cui Wenxiao slowly stretched out his hand to touch his heart, but said nothing.What chance is there for her to end up like this?
Although the wedding of Xie Wanqing and Xuanyuan Jue caused such disharmony, it did not affect their relationship at all.

Xie Wanqing became Princess Jing, and lived in Prince Jing's mansion, all the maids she brought out from Xie's mansion stayed in the small courtyard, leaving only Lingshu and Su Wen by her side.

Because Xie Wanqing had told Su Wen about Xie Wanqing's plan before, but she kept it from Lingshu. After Lingshu knew the truth, she lost her temper a lot. In the end, Suwen agreed to make red bean cakes for her every day. her mouth.

Xie Wanqing's marriage into Prince Jing's Mansion also meant that Xuanyuan Jue was about to go on tour, which was what he had agreed to in order to obtain the imperial edict of marriage.

At the beginning of August, when it was autumn time, Xie Wanqing packed Xuanyuan Jue's belongings and reluctantly sent him out of the city.

"Okay, it's been so far away, if you send it off again, I'll take it as if you want to go with me!" Xuanyuan Jue stopped and rubbed Xie Wanqing's forehead hair.

Xie Wanqing was wrapped in a cloak, shrunk her neck, and said: "I want to go with you, but too many eyes are staring at you and me in Beijing, my lord..."

Before Xie Wanqing could finish speaking, Xuanyuan Jue suddenly held her face in both hands, and kissed her lightly on the cheek, "I have been away for several months, and I haven't set a return date yet. Everything in Beijing will take a lot of hard work on you." gone."

"It's dangerous ahead, you and I know it well, you must take it seriously!" The emperor's intention to ask Xuanyuan Jue to patrol the sky on behalf of the sky is clear, and Xie Wanqing really has to worry.

However, Xuanyuan Jue gave Xie Wanqing a consoling smile, "No matter how dangerous the front is, your husband must not be a vegetarian!" Besides, Xie Zi'an was with him this time, and the relationship between Xuanyuan Jue and Xie Wanqing Looking at the other side at the same time, the scene of Xie Zi'an and Princess Xian'an's parting on the other side is not inferior to their newlyweds.

Not long ago, Xie Zi'an had personally gone to the mansion to ask the king and concubine Tang to marry him. The Tang king and his wife understood the righteousness and readily agreed to their marriage. The two princesses will choose a date to get married.

"I... I will wait for you to come back with Wan'er, don't forget what you promised me!" Princess Xian'an muttered, "If you encounter danger, you must not be brave, no matter what , have to come back."

I don't know if it's because Xie Wanqing is too sensitive, always feeling that something bad will happen during this patrol, and Princess Xian'an also has this premonition.

That's why they made this short-farewell scene as if they were going to part with each other for life and death.

Xie Zi'an embraced Princess Xian'an, and told her to relax and wait for him to come back.

Seeing that it was getting late, they couldn't delay any longer. Xie Wanqing and Princess Xian'an stood together, waving their hands to bid farewell to the love in their hearts, until their figures completely disappeared into the sky.

"Wan'er, let's go back too!" Princess Xian'an tugged at Xie Wanqing's arm, Xie Wanqing regained her composure and returned to the palace. Suddenly news came from the palace that the son of Prince Xiangyang had entered the capital. The emperor threw a grand banquet for him, and Concubine Cui asked Xie Wanqing to enter the palace as soon as possible.

Xie Wanqing was startled. She had never had any contact with the Prince of Xiangyang in his previous life, and she hadn't even heard about his deeds. How could such a person appear out of nowhere?

"Xiao Shu, do you recognize the Prince Xiangyang's son?" Xie Wanqing looked sideways at Princess Xian'an, who shook her head, "I've heard my father talk about King Xiangyang, he is our eldest son. Shun, the only prince with a different surname, won the glory on horseback, but he has never heard of the prince of Xiangyang."

"Hmm..." Xie Wanqing dragged Princess Xian'an to the inner room to change clothes, "Anyway, let's go to the palace to have a look."

After entering the palace, Xie Wanqing was able to see the prince of Xiangyang himself. The king of Xiangyang was surnamed Situ again, and the prince was named "Lei". The little maids who had never seen the world were screaming in fear.

Xie Wanqing stood far outside the palace and glanced at Situ Lei, then shook her head, "Is this the prince of Xiangyang? It's too much..." Before she could finish her words, she was dragged away by Concubine Cui past.

"Auntie, the king of Xiangyang has been guarding the northern border and has been silent for so long. What exactly is he going to do when he sends such a son to Beijing?" Entering Concubine Cui's bedroom, Xie Wanqing couldn't hold back anymore and asked. Doubts in my heart.

Concubine Cui looked around vigilantly, sent the maids beside her to guard, and then pulled Xie Wanqing to sit aside to talk.

"This time, you must not talk nonsense, so as not to cause trouble. The king of Xiangyang holds a heavy army, and even the emperor is jealous of him, and this son is his only son. Don't look at his appearance, but he is born with supernatural power. It resounds throughout the northern border!"

Concubine Cui's words praised the King of Xiangyang and his son who was very rough, Xie Wanqing didn't take it seriously, "No matter how many military exploits the King of Xiangyang has, and no matter how famous the son is, he will always be my Dashun's son. Your servant, isn't it?"

Concubine Cui shook her head, lowered her voice and said, "Don't forget, that is a master with a different surname. Their surname is 'Situ', not 'Xuanyuan'. Once their ambitions are rampant, they won't have any affection for us... "

Concubine Cui's words reminded Xie Wanqing, "Could it be that King Xiangyang has a different heart?"

"This is the most troublesome thing for the emperor now."

Xie Wanqing understood, "Then what is the emperor's plan for Situ Lei to go to Beijing this time?"

"The emperor's intention is probably to send a princess to the northern border so as to stabilize the situation in the northern border." Cui Guifei said.

However, among the emperor's many princesses, Princess Zhaohui is the only one who has grown up and is still unmarried. Xie Wanqing couldn't help but feel a little anxious, "Zhaohui? Will she be willing? Even if she is, she may not be able to share the emperor's worries with her temper. On the contrary, it will add chaos to the emperor!"

"Hey..." Concubine Cui sighed, "The emperor talked about this matter with me the day before yesterday, and that's what he meant. First, Zhaohui is naturally delicate and unruly, and it's difficult to be a great leader. Second, she is the only daughter of Concubine De. Naturally, there are thousands of concubines De Reluctant, so, what the emperor means is..." At this point, Concubine Cui Guifei's expression obviously changed.

"Why?" Xie Wanqing suddenly became curious.

"What the emperor means is to choose one of the girls from the big families to be the princess and match him with the prince of Xiangyang."

Xie Wanqing's heart trembled, "Could it be that the emperor already has a good candidate?"

"In terms of candidates, the emperor has never said it clearly, but the emperor has become estranged from me recently, but suddenly brought this matter up to me. I am worried that the emperor has his eyes on the Cui family..." Concubine Cui's face There was a hint of worry.

Xie Wanqing's first reaction was Cui Wenxiao, if the emperor had his eye on the Cui family, then the only possibility would be Cui Wenxiao.

How can this be!Xie Wanqing suddenly became excited, "There are so many big families in Beijing, why can't you pick out a well-educated and sensible one? The emperor has to keep an eye on the Cui family?"

"If the emperor insists on this, there is nothing you and I can do. I haven't told others about this matter yet. Tonight, I will tell you this. I just want to make an idea with you. Decision, Wen Xiao, what should she do?"

Concubine Cui frowned deeply, and Xie Wanqing was not much better. Xie Wanqing felt like a big rock was suddenly suspended in her heart. It was not good at all. Outside, the voice of Princess Xian'an suddenly came, and it seemed that there was still Bystanders, Concubine Cui Gui and Xie Wanqing looked at each other, and the two changed their expressions at the same time, only to see Princess Xian'an pushed open the door without hesitation, stepped in, and said with a smile: "I'll just say, You disappeared in a blink of an eye, and you must be relying on the imperial concubine, and you are here!" Princess Xian'an pointed at Xie Wanqing, and walked in, and behind her was Cui, who hadn't shown her face for a long time. Wen Xiao.

The moment they saw Cui Wenxiao, Xie Wanqing and Concubine Cui were stunned at the same time.

Cui Wenxiao became thinner and thinner. After being bored in the mansion for so long, she still couldn't bring her back to her previous appearance.

"Wen Xiao!" Concubine Cui pulled Cui Wenxiao to her heart distressedly, "I asked your mother before, and your mother only said that you have been ill. You have been ill for such a long time. It is rare to see you. Look at you. How thin have you become!"

"Aunt—" Cui Wenxiao bowed, with a calm expression, "Today's palace banquet, the emperor sent someone to the mansion, specifying that the niece and daughter should come to the palace for the banquet. I wanted to push it, but my mother was worried that it would cause trouble. If any trouble comes, I have no choice but to bite the bullet."

As soon as Cui Wenxiao said these words, the big rock hanging in the hearts of Cui Guifei and Xie Wanqing became even heavier.

It seems that the emperor has really moved his mind...

Xie Wanqing clenched her fists, the seriousness on her face was fleeting, she stepped forward and pulled Cui Wenxiao affectionately, "Cousin."

Unexpectedly, Cui Wenxiao pulled his hand out of Xie Wanqing's hand very unnaturally, and the inexplicable alienation between them made Xie Wanqing feel very uncomfortable.

It's clear that no one is wrong, right?

But no one can act as calmly as if nothing happened.

After all, it is still a trick of good fortune.

Cui Wenxiao still couldn't get over the old matter of Prince Wu'an, no matter how many compromises and remedies Xie Wanqing made, it seemed that she couldn't erase the scar in her heart.

Xie Wanqing's hand fluttered in the air awkwardly, and even Princess Xian'an saw the clue, and immediately put on a face and said, "What's wrong with you two? Why do you look weird? Wen Xiao, could it be that you still Are you worried about Wan'er's original plan? But Prince Wu'an is indeed a complete scumbag. We never wronged him. We designed to deceive him. It's not very honest, but it's also for your own good. ah……"
