Now that the British Duke is almost at the age when he knows his destiny, he has only one child, and the others have not been raised. In the future, the British Duke will still rely on him to inherit the family business. If he doesn't start a family, what will he do with the family business?
It turns out that he is a rogue. He has always had his own ideas in everything he does since he was a child. Parents know his character best. Even the British father has nothing to do at this moment.
After thinking about it, I could only hand over the zhezi and go to the palace to ask for an audience.
The Xie family's gloomy situation was not a big deal to Emperor Yufeng. Recently, an authentic copy of the previous imperial master's book was discovered in the local area. Such auspiciousness was presented to King Chen when his health improved.
It really made him so happy that he didn't care about any national or family affairs, so he just stayed in the room and studied hard for two days.
He even invited Chen Wang, who had not yet recovered, to study together, but Xiao Yu was not interested and just sat with him.
So when I heard that the British Duke was coming, Emperor Yufeng's Sacred Heart was overjoyed and said quickly: "Forget it, forget it, you are not good at this, you might as well let Lao Ye come in and chat with me. He has been so cruel
I studied it after a lot of effort.”
Xiao Yu leaned forward slightly in his wheelchair, "Brother Chen, please leave first."
"Be careful!" Emperor Yufeng saw him pushing the wheelchair and hurriedly warned him again.
Xiao Yu went out on the front foot, and the British Duke came in on the back foot.
"Hey, what's the reason for being so anxious? Could it be because of Rong Shi's marriage?"
Emperor Yufeng's words came through the curtains, and Xiao Yu's hand pushing the wheelchair paused involuntarily.
"This is a joke to the emperor. I don't know who this child is. The Xie Ge Mansion has been really lively recently. Originally, our family had a verbal engagement with an old friend from the past. I don't know why this child...
He was planning to marry the fourth girl from the Xie family.
The old minister originally wanted to lick his old face to think about his son and see if there was still room for negotiation about the marriage ahead of him. But before...the decision was made, the young prince and Chen Zhuangyuan went to the Xie family to propose marriage again. This...
"
He seemed a little anxious as he spoke, but also seemed like he didn't know what to say. He paused before continuing: "How can our family join in the fun?"
Emperor Yufeng heard this and didn't take it seriously, "The Xie family has become such a mess, so you shouldn't join in the fun."
"Your Majesty, do you need help from your servant?"
Xiao Yu was slowly pushing his wheelchair on the road that had just been repaired a few days ago. Hong Wen stepped out from the side door. When he saw him, he quickly stepped forward and bowed and asked.
"No need," Xiao Yu said calmly, "I'll walk slowly and take in the scenery."
"yes."
Qingxu Palace is only two doors away from Qianyuan Palace, and we arrived in a short time.
As soon as Baiyue saw his master appearing, he quickly greeted him and pushed him into the inner room, "Your Majesty!"
With just one glance, Xiao Yu understood what it meant, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything is clean."
"Um."
Xiao Yu then slowly stood up from the wheelchair, "Is there still no solution?"
"Luxo has been running around outside for more than half a year. She said this thing is really weird, and it may not be possible to find it after so many years." Baiyue's voice was very soft, but the anger in his tone was clear, and he took out one from his sleeve.
A very delicate box came, "I did find this. Duhuo said that she didn't know if it was really related, so she sent it over first. She said that the prince was well-informed and might be able to understand it."
Xiao Yu took it casually, then waved his hand obligingly, "I got it."
After pondering for a while, he asked again: "What is the situation of the Xie family now?"
"Several parties are adding fuel to the flames, but they see that Xie Maocai climbed too fast. The Holy Master also deliberately set up a target in the cabinet. The Shen Si Pavilion in their mansion seems to be just a small school, but in fact it has played a big role. It has been used for so many years.
, but I helped Xie Maocai hide several times, I’m afraid it won’t work.”
When Baiyue originally said this, his tone was a bit gloating, but after he finished speaking, he realized that his master didn't seem to be smiling at all.
Although he rarely smiles, Baiyue can still distinguish the micro-expressions on his face clearly as a person who always serves around him.
"Didn't the prince say before that the Xie family climbed too fast?" He asked cautiously and tentatively.
Xiao Yu just responded casually, then took out a letter from the drawer under the desk and handed it to him, "Urgent delivery to Datong. Last year's armament results should be reported."
Baiyue knew that his master was most concerned about border defense and did not really care too much about the balance of power between the DPRK and China, so he picked up the things and walked out directly.
Who knew that when I walked to the door, I heard my prince ask calmly: "What's going on with the Xie family's marriage proposal?"
Baiyue was stunned for a moment, and then realized what his master was asking.
I can't help but think of the instructions that were sent from the Xie family's inner house. Is it possible that this fourth girl is really an informant trained by the prince?
He didn't dare to guess any more and quickly told the truth about the news he had received.
Xiao Yu frowned slightly after hearing this, as if he was thinking about something.
Baiyue waited for a while, but when he saw no instructions, he continued to go outside. Unexpectedly, he suddenly heard another very low voice coming from behind, "I don't even know I'm being targeted."
These words clearly carried a hint of emotion, which was completely different from his master's character. Baiyue was confused for a moment, "Ah? Who is the prince talking about?"
Xiao Yu, however, just waved his hand lightly, letting him go about his work first, and walked back to the inner room.
Baiyue was puzzled and didn't dare to ask any more questions.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that his prince had become somewhat different after he woke up. But what exactly was different? He thought carefully about it several times, but could not come to a specific conclusion.
Xiao Yu stood in the inner room and watched his leaving figure, his brows slightly furrowed.
She thought that this time, she would definitely marry the British Duke. Unexpectedly, the British Duke, an old thief, actually came over and beat her up.
Why did the Xie family rush to marry into it?
Xie Songhua is also stupid, and he was actually talked about like this! Ye Rongshi should have made it clear directly if she was unreliable! Why did she go so far as to ruin her reputation as a girl's family?
She originally thought she liked Chen Liu, and she had already made plans for her. Now that she was ready to help her, she actually didn't want to get married.
Now……
He thought of the little prince...
This bastard hasn't even gotten married yet, and there are already more than a dozen concubines in Nanbian'er's house. Now that he's in the capital, he just doesn't dare to be too bold.
If Xie Songhua really gets married, who knows what will happen?
What's more, there is that matter...
If the eldest princess's palace is unwilling to let her go, then who else in the world can protect her?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu felt inexplicably upset, but only for a moment.
The affairs of the Xie family have nothing to do with him anymore. As for Xie Songhua...
She has helped him many times, and he has saved her several times, so they can be considered evenly matched.
What's more, she is not as weak and helpless as she was when she first went to Xie's house, and she should come up with a solution on her own.
But in the current situation, what can the Xie family do?
The British father-in-law went to the palace for his son's marriage. When the news reached the Xie family, the old lady became angry again. The marriage between the two families fell through, and there was some quarrel over this matter.
Moreover, the attitude of the Holy Emperor is unclear at the moment. The Xie family is getting more and more nervous. People who come and go on weekdays are afraid to come to the house. At most, they can bring a letter secretly and say a few thoughtful words.
And everyone who came to the door was stared at by the guarding eyes.
Even though Xie Songhua has been taking care of her, the old lady's body is still sick and crooked.
The huge mansion was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere.
Unexpectedly, the young prince entered the palace the next day, and before entering the palace, he was still shouting everywhere, saying that he wanted the Holy Emperor to grant him a marriage.
When Xie Songhua arrived at Shou'an Hall, he found that there was another older nanny in Shou'an Hall. Just by looking at her sitting posture, Xie Songhua knew that this was a nun who came from the palace.
Although there was a smile on his face, the smile seemed to have been measured with a ruler and drawn carefully.
When she saw Nanny Ying for the first time, she had this feeling in her heart. It couldn't be wrong!
"This must be the fourth girl!"
She didn't move, but her eyes were looking up and down at Xie Songhua, "He is a perfect child, no wonder he is so popular!"
His words sounded nice, but his tone always carried a condescending look, which made Xie Songhua feel very uncomfortable.
The old lady still had a sick look on her face, but she still changed her clothes and sat aside to accompany the guests, which showed the importance of this grandma.
Sure enough, the old lady introduced her to her, "This is Aunt Zhao from the eldest princess's residence. She was the maid in charge of the Queen Mother's palace back then."
In other words, although she also came from the palace, this Aunt Zhao is a truly high-class palace maid, so even an old feudal lord like the old lady has to give her some respect.
And since she is working as an errand at the eldest princess's residence, it is easy to guess the purpose of her visit today.
