The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 70 Does Your Highness miss me?

The fourth princess watched Xue Qingyin and her cousins ​​leave the Egret Garden.

A look of envy flashed across her eyes quickly, and finally fell into silence.

King Xuan was still sitting at her hand.

"Second brother...won't you go together?" the fourth princess asked in a low voice.

King Xuan turned around and glanced at her: "Are you waiting for King Wei?"

The fourth princess did not dare to raise her head and asked in a low voice: "Brother King Wei..."

"Now that I'm kneeling in front of my father, you want to accompany him?"

"No, not anymore."

King Xuan then stood up, as if he came here today just to take a look at Xue Qingyin and say a few words to the fourth princess.

Seeing that he was leaving, the fourth princess hurriedly asked: "Second brother...are you going to marry Xue Qingyin?"

She swallowed and said, "Father won't agree."

"That's none of your business. If you see me next time, remember to call me sister-in-law." King Xuan's tone was cold, and he left without mercy.

The fourth princess's heart was beating wildly.

Xue Qingyin still doesn’t recognize it!

She is very resourceful!

Otherwise, how could someone like the second brother... want to marry her? The second brother never bothers to compete with brother Wei Wang!

"Your Highness the Princess." The maid on the side rushed forward to support her.

The maid thought she would be angry.

But the fourth princess today seemed extremely peaceful.

The fourth princess just clenched her fingers.

She only recently learned the truth about her mother's death... If she wants to take revenge, she must become smart.

Must, must!

In that compartment, Xue Qingyin was wandering around with her cousins ​​from the Xu family.

In this room, the maid Zhishu has brought the man who can make soaked oil cakes with them to Zhuangzi.

The magistrate did not dare to delay and immediately asked to see He Songning to tell him what had happened recently in the house.

He Songning, however, acted very calmly and said, "I understand."

Zhishu's heart trembled, and he thought that he was indeed the eldest son. It turned out that there was no need for her to report, and the eldest son also knew everything about the situation in the house.

"Qingyin asked you to come?" He Songning asked.

Zhishu replied: "I took the initiative to mention it to the girl, and the girl asked me to come, and she also brought a cook, saying that she wanted to stay in the village to cook food. The girl also said that if she was not sure how much money to give him, Let the eldest son make the decision."

He Songning's expression suddenly became much more complicated: "She doesn't worry about me."

Zhishu said in confusion: "Given blood and family ties, the eldest girl is naturally very at ease with you."

He Songning chuckled lightly and declined to comment.

At this time, Zhishu talked about the concubine of King Wei's main concubine again.

He Songning's face suddenly darkened.

His biological father, whom he had never met a few times, and the son who was now the Holy One's favorite, was really good!

One Qiao Xinyu and the other Liu Yuerong, both came from low backgrounds.

The idiot King Wei couldn't win over the woman he loved...

He Songning pressed his eyebrows and quickly regained his composure.

He had underestimated Xue Qingyin before, but now that she had hooked up with Prince Xuan, she had taken a different path.

But the old woman in the palace valued King Xuan very much, and I am afraid she would not want Xue Qingyin to marry King Xuan.

He Songning quickly changed his approach. He told Zhishu: "When you return to the city, ask your brother to do something for me."

"Master, just give me orders."

"Two days later, I will hear the news that Liu Yuerong is seriously ill."

"……yes."

"Also, ask Magpie to bring another personal item to Manager Jiang of Prince Wei's Mansion. Let's say it belongs to the eldest girl."

Zhishu looked up in shock.

It was this maid named Magpie who made the deal with Manager Jiang last time.

The informant also knew about this.

But she couldn't understand: "Why does the eldest son want to do it again..."

Although she knew in her heart that the eldest son would do great things in the future, she still felt shocked. After all, she is the eldest young master’s biological sister!

He Songning said, "There is an embroidery lady brought back from Huainan Road who is good at knitting and knitting needles. Her name is Jinniang. Ask her to embroider an item on something close to your body using knitting and knitting techniques." The word "yi" is hidden among the patterns."

Zhishu opened his mouth wide and nodded in response.

She vaguely understood what the eldest son meant, but she didn't think clearly.

"Go back." He Songning said.

"Then...that cook..."

"I'll meet him later." He Songning paused and said, "He's just a cook, so why should she stay in the village?"

"How will I reply to the girl's words when I go back?" Zhishu asked worriedly.

He Songning said in a complicated tone: "Just say that I took care of it for her."

Zhishu breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the eldest son says he is not forgiving, he will still do it for the eldest girl.

Zhishu was about to resign.

But He Songning stopped her and added: "There will be some disturbances in the past few days. You must keep an eye on the big girl and don't let her have an accident."

Zhishu's heart was filled with excitement: "Yes!"

She left Zhuangzi and got on the carriage back to the city. She had already gone out for an unknown distance when Zhishu suddenly remembered... The eldest son seemed to have forgotten to ask the second girl!

at the same time.

In Prince Xuan's house, a young man stood in front of the case and bowed: "The King of Wei told the Holy One that he has Miss Xue's personal belongings in his hand. Now that King Wei has returned to the palace, I am afraid that he will actually present the personal belongings to him." Come to the Holy One."

King Xuan's expression did not change: "Yes."

On the contrary, Li Wenhui beside him couldn't help but frown and said: "Miss Xue is seriously talking to King Wei..."

King Xuan glanced at him.

Li Wenhui stopped talking.

"This is not difficult to guess. The King of Wei is used to taking beauties into his harem. If he can't get them, he will inevitably resort to some tricks. And the eldest son of the Xue family is his close friend. With such a combination of internal and external forces, it would not be surprising if he got three or four items, let alone one personal item." King Xuan said coldly.

He actually guessed it 100%!

"Three or four items?" Fang Chengzhong felt angry when he heard it.

"Your Highness... don't you have any grudges in your heart?" Li Wenhui couldn't help asking.

"This matter has nothing to do with Xue Qingyin. Where does the grudge come from? The King of Wei is used to handing over private affairs to his housekeeper. Just chop off the man's hands."

Li Wenhui was speechless: "...Your Highness is right."

King Xuan said: "Let the Liu family's daughter get an acute disease tomorrow. Let He Ji mention the Lu family's daughter to the emperor when he lectures tomorrow."

The "He Ji" mentioned by King Xuan is the prince's teacher.

At the same time, he also has an identity, and he is from the same hometown as Lu Shuyi's father.

"Yes." Li Wenhui responded.

He knew that it was His Royal Highness Xuan Wang who was pushing Emperor Liang De to issue an imperial decree as soon as possible.

Born in the royal family, it is like this, and marriage cannot be easily decided by oneself. It is often a game of several parties before the final result is obtained.

If it is like the King of Wei who just takes a few concubines, it will be fine.

But Li Wenhui is a little confused: "Why does His Royal Highness want the girl from the Xue family? Let Miss Lu marry to the Xuan Wang Mansion. Wouldn't it be a greater help to the Xuan Wang Mansion? Now that Miss Xue has recognized the young master of the Zhao Guogong Mansion as her adoptive father, and then marrying here, won't it cause the emperor to be afraid? Zhao Guogong still holds some military power in his hands."

The king did not speak.

Fang Chengzhong, who was standing by, smiled and said, "I have some superficial opinions. I think it's okay for the Duke of Zhao to be so obsessed with the young master. But the daughter of the Lu family, her father is in the Secretariat, in charge of the ruling party, and most of the civil officials respect him first. A Lu Shilang can control the literati, and our prince holds the power of the army. Isn't it more terrible to combine the civil and military forces? It's more frightening?"

Li Wenhui sighed and said, "But the emperor still wants the daughter of the Lu family to marry the prince. Well, maybe it's sincere, but maybe it's a test. No matter which one it is, the prince can't accept it. The emperor is suspicious..."

King Xuan stood up and ordered the eunuch to bring the cloak.

At this time, the moon was already on the branches.

Li Wenhui had to stop talking and asked hurriedly, "Are you going to the palace?"

King Xuan said, "To the Xu family."

Li Wenhui thought, which family is the Xu family?

Fang Chengzhong smiled and said, "Your Highness, are you going to see Miss Xue?"

Li Wenhui was very surprised: "But it's late."

Fang Chengzhong bowed to King Xuan.

Wait for King Xuan to leave.

Fang Chengzhong straightened up and thought, "Maybe Your Highness doesn't have so many complicated reasons to want Miss Xue. Maybe... Your Highness really likes her?"

Really like her?

Li Wenhui shook his head, he didn't believe it.

On the other side, Xue Qingyin had just fallen asleep when she heard someone come to report that something urgent had happened in the silk and satin shop.

Mrs. Xue was startled and said angrily, "Don't these bastards know to report in the daytime?"

Xue Qingyin was wearing clothes, thinking that she would not have a conflict with the people in the Zhaoguo Mansion again?

It shouldn't be.

Her thoughts just came to this point, and suddenly paused, remembering that the day when King Xuan came, the people outside only said that someone from the manor came to ask for an audience.

Xue Qingyin raised her eyes to look at the moonlight outside, hurriedly put on her cloak, and walked out without looking back, saying, "Mother, I'll be back soon. I'm afraid there is another misunderstanding with the Duke Zhao's Mansion, so just go to bed."

The maid Zhishu held the lamp for her.

Nongxia followed closely behind with a small hot water bottle in her hand.

Although it was already spring, the girl was weak and was still afraid of catching a cold in the night wind.

The door of the Xu family was already open for Xue Qingyin, and there were not so many complicated rules in the Xue family.

Xue Qingyin lifted her skirt and stepped out lightly.

Then she saw a carriage parked there.

She walked up familiarly, rolled up the curtain, and went in: "Didn't we just meet in the daytime? Why is Your Highness here again?"

She smiled and said, "Does Your Highness miss me?"

Dating in the middle of the night is so exciting. Xue Qingyin thought.

Zhishu and Nongxia were outside the carriage and were shocked when they heard the noise.
