Xiao Xiruo was also a little depressed when she was suddenly exposed by Feng Wuyan. But thinking about the care that Big Villain Feng had taken these days, she forgave him with an open heart.
After all, not everyone can earn her thousands of negative emotions a day.
Then Feng Wuyan saw that the little rabbit's droopy ears stood up again, and he said with a pair of bright eyes:
"Since the emperor knows that I am so poor that I stole things and sold them, why don't you help me? Although I can't share the money I earn with you, I can stop bothering you for a few days after returning to the palace."
Feng Wuyan: "..."
Then I really thank you.
Looking into those shining eyes again, Feng Wuyan thought for a moment and finally said coldly:
"Since you don't want to return to the palace too early, then come with me to Kongming Temple to rest for two days, and then return to the palace early the next morning."
"The day after tomorrow?"
Xiao Xiruo was startled, and soon saw Feng Wuyan looking at her suspiciously, as if to say, "If you think it's too late, you can get out now."
Xiao Xiruo immediately waved her hand, unable to hide the surprise in her eyes.
"The day after tomorrow will be great. I will follow the emperor. I will go back when the emperor returns."
What is joy from heaven?
This is it!
Ever since she recalled the story of Beiliang and Chunhan, she had been thinking about it.
At first she thought about warning her father and brother early so that they could take some precautions. But then she thought about it carefully and found out that her mother died of illness and her brother had not yet married.
The two big men are in charge of military affairs all day long and fighting each other. It is good for them to arrange food to prevent the cold spring. It is simply embarrassing two fat tigers.
Moreover, how effective can a few words from a purdah woman be?
Even if the father and son dote on her, love her and listen to her, given the technical conditions of the era in the book, they cannot scientifically prevent the cold.
Of course, in addition to relying on precautions to ensure production in military villages, the only option is to buy grain in advance.
But there are so many soldiers under the Xiao family who need to eat. If they want to buy everything in advance, won’t they have to vacate the Duke’s Mansion?
Not only the Duke's Mansion, but also their properties in Beijing will have to be sold for money.
With this thought, Xiao Xiruo decided to think of a solution in the capital.
Before, she stayed in the palace every day. Although she knew what kind of property she had in her hands, she was unable to see the actual situation. She originally wanted to hold off Feng Wuyan today and ask him to accompany her to look around.
Unexpectedly, Feng Wuyan was so happy that he had to stay outside the palace for two days.
Good thing, really a great good thing!
Seeing Xiao Xiruo smiling at him like a sunflower, Feng Wuyan's usually not good mood relaxed a little.
On the other hand, Shen Mian was hesitant to speak, wondering if his master had forgotten what they were going to Kongming Temple for.
At this moment, Xingxue lowered her eyes and said a few words in Xiao Xiruo's ear, which made the smile on Xiao Xiruo's face dim for a moment.
Sighing softly, she had to tell Feng Wuyan that the pavilion was a little stuffy and she wanted to go to the corridor to get some fresh air.
Feng Wuyan acquiesced to this.
After all, he couldn't control Xiao Xiruo in the first place.
It wasn't until Xiao Xiruo left with Feng Xue and Wan Xue that Shen Mian came up to his master and said:
"Your Majesty, it may not be appropriate to bring your concubine with you on this trip to Kongming Temple."
Feng Wuyan didn't say anything after hearing this. Shen Mian knew that this meant asking him to continue.
"Let's not mention the status of the empress for the moment. Just her illness and the meticulous work around her..."
Just now, the accompanying spies had reported to him that Xi Yang had secret contacts with the Hua family, had a pleasant conversation with each other, and also received a large sum of gold and silver.
Coupled with the fact that Haigui was deported early this morning, Jiayue immediately sent Laba porridge and said that he wanted to explain something to Xi Yang. This Xi Yang was clearly one of the Queen Mother's people.
In fact, this Xi Yang is indeed from Shoukang Palace.
"so?"
Feng Wuyan put down the tea cup and stared at the direction where the girl disappeared into the corridor with a pair of peach blossom eyes.
"Although the Empress Dowager's move is obvious, it is inevitable that the Empress does not know the tricks of the palace when she first arrives in the capital, and she is also afraid that she will look at the Empress Dowager and others because of her spoiled child. Therefore, I feel that Master, it is best not to bring the Empress to live in the temple. This is Aren’t there many houses with pleasant scenery outside the temple?”
Shen Mian admitted that she had not tried to figure out the imperial concubine's intentions, but that there were many people accompanying the imperial concubine, which would inevitably cause worries.
"What you said makes sense."
Feng Wuyan nodded, and with his slender jade-like fingertips, he gently opened the lid of the tea cup, revealing the tea leaves that were scalded yellow under the lid.
"In that case, why don't I lure the snake out of its hole?"
On the corridor outside the attic, Xue Xue put a cloak on Xiao Xiruo, while Wan Xue offered the new heater with both hands.
The three of them walked not far away when they saw a group of people standing at the corner of the corridor, all looking at her with joy.
Although these people are in plain clothes and have simple waists, their postures are upright and their expressions are solemn. At first glance, they are born in the military.
When they saw Xiao Xiruo, they all bowed and clasped their fists, one mouth at a time.
Compared with their warmth, Feng Yehan and Wu Ge on the side looked much colder.
Ming Xiangxue helped these adults up, Xiao Xiruo also smiled and nodded to them, and occasionally exchanged greetings with one or two of them.
These people are all military attachés in the capital, including her father's old department and her brother's staff. They are all the Xiao family's powerful influence in the court.
"The eldest lady should know that there are some adults who are working in the dark, so they cannot come to talk to the eldest lady. Cheng Chao, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, if the eldest lady has anything to do, please send someone to contact me."
This official Xiao Xiruo still remembers that when she said she was hungry and wanted to eat, he was the first person to stand up and agree with her.
So Xiao Xiruo silently remembered this person in his heart.
After some more greetings, Xiao Xiruo just ordered Xianxue to reward the money and send the adults off.
Damn, no Xiao family faction can escape the word "poor".
Look at all these honest and shabby people.
Oh, not entirely...
Xiao Xiruo raised her eyes and glanced at Feng Yehan, who was wearing a purple robe with flawless white jade around her waist, and couldn't help but cursed the evil capitalism.
There is no way, the male protagonist is rich, which is beyond the imagination of a little cannon fodder like her.
Although she didn't like this debt collector, Xiao Xiruo still called him "cousin" gently.
Feng Yehan agreed, looking at her quietly with those evil red phoenix eyes, and after a while he said:
"You did a good job today. The border has been unstable in the past few years. General Yan must not let go."
Listening to his words that seemed to praise his subordinates, Xiao Xiruo could only smile.
Also, in the book, the Xiao family is indeed considered to be Feng Yehan's subordinates.
On the surface, she belongs to her uncle's family, but Feng Yehan's mother, Xiao Qinglan, is actually not named Xiao at all, nor is she her father's biological sister, but a foster sister.
Therefore, the Xiao family has no blood relationship with Feng Yehan, let alone receiving any favors from Feng Yehan.
It's just that there is some connection between them, and my father and brother are very affectionate and righteous.
But what is the result of emphasizing affection and righteousness?
It's just that the Xiao family flies bravely and takes care of everything on their own.
It's a pity that I don't want to be a tool man anymore~
So Xiao Xiruo took a breath, covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and coughed:
"It's freezing outside the pavilion. Xiruo is not in good health. If my cousin has nothing else to discuss, today's meeting will end here." This chapter has been completed!
