Chapter 875 874 [Little Phoenix]

Southern Zhou Dynasty, Jian'an City.

The residence of the chief minister of the cabinet is not far from the imperial city. It covers a large area and is equipped with pavilions, pavilions, pavilions, waterside pavilions and rockeries. It is worthy of the status of the chief minister. This house was specially given by Emperor Qingyuan.

The official residence was renovated before Xu Huiyan and his family moved in. The layout is elegant and quiet, to show the emperor's honor and favor to the chief minister.

There are many servants in the mansion, but because of the strict rules of the Xu family in Qinghe for thousands of years, these servants never dare to make a loud noise.

In the past, there was a courtyard where you could often hear laughter and laughter, but now even this place seems extremely solemn.

Today is the sixth day after Xu Churong's return.

She didn't smile once for six whole days.

The maids and women were walking on thin ice, fearing that they would make a mistake, and no one dared to discuss it privately. This shows that Xu Huiyan was strict in running the family. However, they had heard some things. It seemed that their own lady sent the princess to marry in Beiliang. However, His Majesty the Emperor and

What the Duke of Zhen wanted to do was to use this opportunity to attack Jiangling.

The final result does not need to be described in detail. Duke Dangtang was forced to resign from his position as Prime Minister and Minister of Military Affairs. Moreover, I heard that there were disputes every day in the court, and the officials were so quarrelsome that their faces turned red.

At this time, Xu Churong came back.

The servants didn't know what role their master played in this matter. They just looked at the young lady's cold face. Everyone was extra cautious and humble, for fear of becoming a fish in the pond.

The two maids walked out of the main room carrying food boxes and looked at each other with sad expressions on their faces.

Compared with those ordinary maids and women, these two people have been following Xu Churong and are very worried about her current state.

"You guys, stop." A mellow voice sounded from the front.

The maids were startled, and after seeing the person clearly, they hurriedly said with blessing: "Please greet me, Third Young Master."

Xu Xi looked at the food box and said in a deep voice: "Churong still has no appetite?"

The maid on the left replied: "Yes, Miss has eaten half a bowl of porridge in the morning and has not eaten at noon."

Xu Xi frowned slightly and said, "Go and inform the kitchen to get some northern dishes and then deliver them over."

The maids were greatly surprised. After all, the word "north" was never allowed in the palace to avoid unnecessary suspicion. However, they naturally did not dare to disobey Xu Xi's order. They bowed their heads and left with their food boxes.

Xu Xi walked slowly into the study on the side and came to Xu Churong who was sitting alone in front of the window. Looking at her side face that had become obviously slimmer, he hesitated for a long time and said: "Little sister, my father has never thought of letting you die."

In danger. You sent the princess to Jiangling. You should have returned in time, but no one thought

You will accompany His Highness into the city, and then the following things will happen. When you are trapped in Jiangling City, your father can't do anything to save you, and this is related to the national affairs. Only Your Majesty, the Duke of Jin and your father know the details beforehand.

He can't send people to follow you, hey...this is actually..."

"I can't help myself. I understand. Third brother doesn't need to say anything." Xu Churong's tone was very calm, but it didn't sound like the voice of a sixteen-year-old girl.

Xu Xi's heart trembled. He has loved this sister very much since he was a child, but this incident has caused such a huge blow to her that it will be difficult to erase it for a while. It's a pity that he didn't know Fang Xiexiao's plan beforehand.

Otherwise, Xu Churong would be prevented from sending Princess Qinghe off at any cost, even if it arouses Pei Yue's suspicion.

Pulling up a chair and sitting next to it, Xu Xiqiang smiled and said, "Winter is coming, and the scenery over Bihu Lake is very good. How about I take you there to relax?"

Xu Churong finally turned to look at his brother, shook his head slightly and said, "Third brother, it doesn't have to be like this. I'll be fine after a while."

Xu Xi sighed: "But these days when my father talks to you, you never say a word. My father feels very uncomfortable..."

Xu Churong suddenly interrupted him, lowered his eyebrows and said: "If the third brother really thinks about the little sister, I wonder if he can do something for the little sister?"

Xu Xi felt relieved and hurriedly patted his chest and said: "No matter what I say, I will definitely do it for my brother."

Xu Churong said: "My father has always regarded the third brother as the future head of the family and has given him a lot of resources over the years. My younger sister would like to ask the third brother to help arrange official positions for some people."

She spoke so straightforwardly that Xu Xixi was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Who is it?"

Xu Churong pulled out a piece of paper from the bottom of a stack of books on the left and handed it to Xu Xi's hand.

Looking at the twelve names and corresponding official positions on the paper, Xu Xi quickly recognized that seven of them were from aristocratic families who usually liked to gather around Xu Churong, and the other five were from poor families, all of whom were quite famous among the younger generation.

Able talents.

Seeing that he was silent, Xu Churong asked, "Third brother, are you feeling embarrassed?"

Xu Xi shook his head. Although it is not easy to solve the whereabouts of so many people at once, after all, they are just some middle and lower-level official positions. He does not need to personally come forward. As long as Xu Shoufu's name is used, the solution can be easily solved. He just doesn't understand the little sister's thoughts.

, she obviously has great sadness and grievances hidden in her heart, how can she be interested in doing these things that she usually never bothers to do.

"Little sister, can you tell third brother what exactly you are going to do?"

"It's not easy for my father to do his job, and I want to help share some of it."

Xu Churong's tone was calm, and then he changed the topic and said: "Third brother, I'll leave this matter to you. I will find my father in two days and tell him something."

Xu Xi asked: "What's the matter?"

Xu Churong said slowly: "The Marquis of Zhongshan in the north asked me to convey some words to my father."

Xu Xi's heart moved. With his current status, he has access to some higher-level secrets. Naturally, he understands the situation of the Xu family in Qinghe and the complex situation that he will face in the future.

Looking at Xu Churong's quiet face with a hint of indifference, he sighed softly and said: "Okay, I will help you handle this matter. Little sister, don't blame me for being nagging about your brother. The gains and losses that my father needs to consider are too complicated.

, but he will never hurt his most beloved daughter."

Xu Churong finally showed a faint smile, nodded and said: "I have figured it out, thank you third brother for your enlightenment."

Xu Xi also laughed, stood up holding the piece of paper and said: "I have asked the kitchen to prepare some new food, which is all from the north. You can use some of it, and don't damage the roots."

Xu Churong responded softly.

After Xu Xi left, Xu Churong turned around and returned to his bedroom. Looking at the elegant and delicate furnishings in the room, Pei Yue's face appeared in his mind unknowingly.

At this moment, he should have already embarked on his way back to his hometown, which is his home.

Xu Churong knew that Pei Yue's behavior could be called magnanimous, but she would rather the other party was not so magnanimous. Sometimes people are so complicated, they can't get what they want, and they can't let go when they should.

It would be fine if she was just an ordinary girl. She was nothing more than falling flowers with intention and ruthlessness, and giving love to the spring breeze. But she has been walking in the imperial city since she was a child, and everyone she sees is a person who stands at the pinnacle of power. Her past experience has made her

Being familiar with the word power is a secret that many people spend their entire lives unable to understand.

Because she was a daughter, she was unwilling and disdainful to get involved in those intrigues in the past.

Now she has changed her mind.

In fact, Xu Xi didn't understand that her formerly doted sister no longer hated their father, nor did she ever think about putting the Qinghe Xu family in danger. She just wanted to hold something tightly in her hands.

After being nurtured by Pei Yue for so long, Xu Churong now begins to think about problems from a higher level.

Just as she said in the villa in Puqi City at that time, she no longer wanted to let others decide her destiny.

But she herself couldn't tell whether she took this step because of the impact of this incident, or because Pei Yue always regarded herself as an ignorant or even naive boudoir girl.

Maybe one day in the future, that hateful guy can no longer survive in the north and flees to the south in disgrace.

At that time, should you give him a place to live, or laugh at him mercilessly?

"snort!"

Xu Churong raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and a syllable popped out of his mouth like a frozen bean.

After all, it shows a bit of girlish childishness.

But something surprising gradually appeared on her body.
