Chapter 699 Fate seems to have played a huge joke on him
The prince of Jingyanghou is named Si Yunyi. He is the fourth son of Jingyanghou. He is ten years younger than Si Yunlang and is only twenty-three this year.
He was lucky at first, but Si Yunlang met water bandits on the boat. The boat capsized and no one survived. Mrs. Jingyang Hou was just a legitimate son. After crying a few times and being ill for more than half a year, she passed away at a young age.
Without his aunt, he was remembered as the legitimate son, and later became the heir apparent.
If Si Yunlang never came back, he would have had a smooth life. He thought that if he helped Prince Ning ascend to the throne, the Jingyang Marquis Mansion, as his mother's family, would be extremely valuable.
But fifteen years have passed, and Si Yunlang suddenly came back and brought back several children. He had to think about himself first. If he was busy coming and going, all the benefits would be given to Si Yunlang in the end.
He won't do it.
Ever since Si Yunlang came back, his aunt, who was kind to him, had focused on her biological son. It was a coincidence that Si Yunlang came back and happened to meet His Majesty Wanshou, and he was also passed on to Tai Chi Hall.
Faced with the Holy Spirit, he was praised and rewarded by His Majesty, and ordered the royal doctor to treat him, hoping to restore his memory.
Thinking of this, Si Yunyi became more and more worried.
Today, his aunt asked him to take Si Yunlang to meet powerful people. He was unwilling in his heart, but he could only agree. However, he changed his mind and brought him to Rong Ci and Rong Guogong's palace.
.
There is a rumor that after the wife of Rong San of the Rong family learned that Si Yunlang came back alive, she kept making noises about going out to see Si Yunlang and also wanted to reconcile with Rong San.
Si Yunyi smiled modestly and gently: "Brother, this is the ninth son of Duke Rong, and this is his wife."
"Master Rongjiu, Mrs. Rongjiu." Si Yunlang was a little cautious.
He has forgotten the past. He has been fishing in the fishing village to support his family for more than ten years. In the past, the noble son raised by the Hou Men's son has been worn away. He is wearing a blue robe and has a golden crown to tie his hair. Although his facial features are still
It's pretty good, but it's been weathered by years of wind and rain and has some vicissitudes.
What he experienced was indeed a pity that a dignified prince of the Hou family could end up in such a situation.
"Young Master Si." Rong Ci and Xie Yixiao toasted him with a cup of tea. Rong Ci said, "I heard that Young Master Si has returned a long time ago, but I have never seen him. The hardships in the past have passed, and Young Master Si will definitely be in peace in the future."
Si Yunlang said a little cautiously: "Thank you very much, Mr. Rongjiu."
There were many people talking to him these days, and he felt a little uncomfortable hearing it, as if he couldn't understand that he was actually the prince of the Hou family but had been reduced to a fishing village to make a living by fishing for more than ten years.
It was as if fate had played a huge joke on him, causing him to fall into such an embarrassing situation.
Si Yunyi asked with a smile: "I heard that Young Master Rong Jiu went to the Ministry of War. I am really happy to congratulate you. If there is a chance in the future, I will ask for a drink with Young Master Rong Jiu."
"Easy to say."
Xie Yixiao listened to Rong Ci greeting others with a calm tone. He couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy, but he was still patient.
Si Yunyi talked for a long time, looking like he was very familiar with Rong Ci. Si Yunlang stood aside and couldn't say anything. He was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only bite the bullet and wait.
Xie Yixiao's eyes swept over the two brothers without leaving a trace, and he clicked his tongue in his heart.
The Marquis Mansion of Jingyang seems to be not peaceful either.
But it’s okay if it’s not peaceful. Instead of jumping up and down all the time trying to support King Ning, why don’t you just stay calm and live a good life?
Xie Yixiao took a sip of tea and sat with a smile.
After about a stick of incense, Si Yunyi didn't know what to say, so he left with Si Yunlang. Si Yunlang stood beside him with his face stiffened, but he didn't dare to speak.
When I could finally leave, I breathed a sigh of relief.
After they left, Xie Yixiao gave Rong Ci a piece of red cotton shrimp dumpling: "This is delicious, you can eat more."
Rong Ci tried it and thought it was good: "Let Chef Ding try other dishes later."
He used to be a vegetarian, but after he returned home, he started to eat more vegetarian food. Most of the food cooked at home were home-cooked dishes, and most of them were vegetarian. He was fine eating it, but she didn't like it when he saw her following her.
He didn't say anything. Now it seems that people still have to do something else to try.
"Okay." Xie Yi smiled and agreed. She was from an ordinary background. Apart from her preference for tea and snacks, her recipes were random. She ate home-cooked dishes well, and she was also happy to cook something particularly delicious once in a while.
Then several more people came over to talk to them, and Rong Ci spoke to them calmly and normally, without any sign of impatience.
Xie Yixiao discovered this and felt that he had indeed changed a lot. In the past, he had a cold and indifferent temperament. Except for being a little patient with Rong's family, he was always cold and ruthless. He would ignore you if he didn't want to.
Don't take people seriously.
Now he understands the ways of the world, and knows that if he doesn't cause trouble for him, he can't make people stand down.
The world is like this. Even if he holds a high position in the future and is flattered by many people, he can't lose face at all. He is not a friend, has few contacts, and can't make enemies, right?
When the time was approaching, the birthday banquet was about to end. Mr. Rong Guogong and his Majesty went to Taiji Palace to talk. Rong Ci and Xie Yixiao sent the Xie family and Marquis Changning out of the palace.
Only the Jiang family was present in the Changning Marquis Mansion, and Changning Marquis and Gu Zhixuan came together. However, a lot of people came from the Xie family. Except for Xie Yizhen, who was in office, Jiang Zhaoling, who was pregnant, and Xie Jin and Wen's son, the rest came.
His Majesty's longevity banquet has not been held in these years. If you miss it once, I may not have the opportunity to participate in the future.
Xie Yiling followed her sister step by step. He wanted to talk to her just now, but his sister-in-law refused to let him go, which made him feel wronged.
"Sister, today's food is delicious. Have you eaten it?"
"Eat, eat."
"Which one do you think is the best?"
"I think everything is delicious."
Xie Yiling frowned: "Sister, are you perfunctory with me?"
"No." Xie Yixiao reached out and rubbed his head, "Which of the dishes cooked in the imperial kitchen is not delicious? If you don't believe it, tell me which one is not delicious?"
Xie Yiling blinked and thought about it seriously, but found that there was really nothing that was not delicious. If he was asked to choose the one he liked best, he could tell it. If he said he didn't like it, then there was none.
"Yiling has grown taller again." The half-grown boy grows very fast when his body grows.
"Really?" Xie Yiling was pleasantly surprised.
"of course it's true."
Xie Yiling felt happy again after hearing her sister's affirmation, and no longer struggled with the question of which dish was delicious and which was not.
