Others don't know, but Xie Wu clearly remembers that Emperor Zhengxuan did not go to Linxi paddock for autumn hunting in the year she and Ji were born. It seems that it was the second year after she and Ji, which was the thirty-fourth year of Zhengxuan, that Emperor Zhengxuan made a big splash.
They rushed to the Linxi paddock with a large number of civil and military officials from all over the dynasty and their family members.
But it’s only the thirty-second year of Zhengxuan!
Everything seems to be accelerating. What prompted Emperor Zhengxuan to make this decision? Could it be...
Lu Zhan?
But why?
Lu Zhan was the son of Duke Dingguo and the grandson of Emperor Zhengxuan. He was already extremely noble, and neither the crown prince nor King Qi could affect him. But if that was the case, why should he go to great lengths to plan for King Duan?
Is it because King Duan is more capable of taking on big responsibilities than the Crown Prince or King Qi? But judging from her contact with King Duan in her previous life, it seems that he is not as virtuous as he appears on the surface, especially after the Crown Prince and King Qi fell one after another.
…
But if that wasn't the case, then why did Lu Zhan choose King Duan?
That night, Xie Wu lay in bed and didn't sleep for a long time.
During this period, something seemed to knock on the window lattice. She hurriedly opened the curtain, but there was nothing in the room. She waited for a long time, but there was no movement outside. Mi Yue, who was watching outside, heard the movement.
Sticking to the lamp walked in quietly.
"Girl, what's wrong?"
Xie Wu shook her head expressionlessly, "It's okay."
After saying that, she put down the curtain in her hands and lay back on the bed.
Mi Yue waited outside for a while and heard Xie Wu breathing evenly in the bed tent. She guessed that she must have been frightened just now. After thinking about it, she quietly stepped out on tiptoes.
However, Xie Wu, who had her eyes closed originally, reopened her eyes after Mi Yue exited. She looked at the bottom of the light pink tent above her head, and her thoughts became clearer and clearer.
In her previous life, she only paid attention to the Yang family and her second wife, so she didn't pay much attention to Lu Zhan and the things Lu Zhan planned. She only vaguely remembered that a major event happened in Linxi Paddock, which involved both the Crown Prince and King Qi.
After entering, King Duan also distinguished himself because of his outstanding performance in Linxi Paddock, but what exactly was it...
At that time, she was placed in the small courtyard of Dingguo Palace by Lu Zhan, so she didn't know much about the outside world.
She only knew that Lu Zhan was busy after returning from the Linxi paddock, and not long after, the prince was deposed. Not long after, King Duan went on an errand to receive the envoy from the Northern Desert...
Oh, by the way, there is also Lu Shen. Not long after returning from Linxi Paddock, Lu Shen joined Zuo Yiwei and was promoted to deputy general of Zuo Yiwei within a few months.
The more Xie Wu thought about it, the more she felt that this autumn hunting trip was not peaceful.
Especially her father, as the deputy general of Zuo Yiwei and the prince of Wu'an Hou, he must be among the entourage. Even if he was not involved in that matter, how could the prince and King Qi give up such an opportunity to win over him?
Especially the prince, who has lost a Yang Hefeng, and is in urgent need of generals around him.
That night, Xie Wu couldn't sleep, and when she woke up the next day, she was obviously a little depressed and her eye circles were slightly swollen.
"What's wrong, girl? Didn't you sleep last night?" Grandma Luo was a little surprised when she saw Xie Wu looking like this.
This was the first time she had seen a girl looking so tired and listless.
Xie Wu shook her head and let Aunt Luo wash and change clothes for her. Although her mind was in a mess, she still knew that she still had to ask Lu Zhan about the autumn hunting.
Otherwise, she would always feel uneasy if she just went to Linxi Paddock without any preparation!
The more Xie Wu thought about it, the more she couldn't hold it back. After Nanny Luo had finished washing her, she directly said to Mi Yue, "Is the jade broken?"
"Zaiyu is watering the flowers in the yard. Do you want to see her?" Miyue raised her eyes and looked at Xie Wu.
Ever since that time when she saw Suiyu and his group of nocturnal travelers dressed up and kneeling in front of the girl, she knew that Suiyu was a little special in front of the girl, so she did not arrange for her to do the usual cleaning work. Suiyu was bored, but she took the initiative to give it to the yard
I took over the job of watering the flowers and plants.
"Well, tell her to come up!" Xie Wu pinched her eyebrows and responded casually.
After Mi Yue heard this, she hurriedly thanked Wu for her blessings, and then bowed downstairs.
As soon as Mi Yue left, Grandma Luo filled the porridge for Xie Wu and said to her with a smile, "The girl seems to like this girl Sui Yu!"
"What? Don't you like her?" Xie Wu took the time to ask while lowering her head and drinking porridge.
Grandma Luo shook her head quickly, "That's not true, that girl has a cheerful temperament and is quick with her hands and feet, but..."
"Just what?" Xie Wu continued to drink the porridge from the bowl without raising her head.
Aunt Luo looked at Xie Wu tentatively, and it was confirmed that Xie Wu had no intention of getting angry. Then she pulled the corner of her lips and said to Xie Wu in a joking manner, "It's just that Suiyu is a second-class maid after all. The girl takes her with her wherever she goes."
It’s a bit inappropriate after all, I look at Mi Yue and that girl seems to be a little bit offended.”
After hearing what Nanny Luo said, Xie Wu finally made a move. She put down her spoon, raised her eyes and looked at Nanny Luo, and said, "Did Mi Yue ask Nanny to say this?"
"No, no, no!" Upon hearing this, Mammy Luo waved her hands repeatedly and said, "That girl Mi Yue is attentive and doesn't like to talk much. How could she say this to this slave? I just see that she is alone these days. Xianyue
I don’t know what’s going on with that girl lately, she’s following that girl Suiyu around every day.”
She also knew that Sui Yu was a very popular girl, but if Mi Yue felt resentful because of her, it would be bad for the girl.
After Grandma Luo finished speaking, she didn't see Xie Wu speak for a while. Just when she was about to say something more, there was movement from the top of the stairs.
It was Miyue who led Suiyu up.
Seeing this, Grandma Luo hurriedly bent down and stepped aside.
"Girl." Suiyu walked up to Xie Wu with a smile and saluted.
Xie Wu nodded and said, "I heard that you are in charge of all the flowers and plants in the courtyard?"
Suiyu quickly shook her head, "No, how can I take care of the flowers and plants? I just help water them!"
Although Aunt Luo is the steward of Hengzhiyuan, she only looks after the small kitchen most of the time, and most of the other trivial matters are taken care of by Mi Yue, the eldest maid next to Xie Wu. She divides her original errands.
She was given to another little maid, and she was really free, so she could only take over the job of watering the flowers to pass the time.
"Since you are so free, then from today on, you can serve me by my side!" Xie Wu said directly.
As soon as these words came out, not only Suiyu was stunned, but also Grandma Luo and Mi Yue were stunned.
Although Xie Wu's words did not explicitly say that she would promote Suiyu to be a first-class maid, but wouldn't serving the girl next to her become a first-class maid?
"Okay, if you don't mind, just step back. I have something to ask Suiyu." Xie Wu didn't bother to pay attention to the shocked looks in the eyes of Aunt Luo and Mi Yue. She raised her eyes and looked directly at the two of them.
Aunt Luo quickly put away the shock on her face, and taking advantage of the situation, she even pulled Mi Yue, who was in a daze next to her, "Yes, I will resign."
"My slave, please leave." Mi Yue also hurriedly lowered her head and saluted.
Then, the two of them bowed and retreated one after another.
As soon as they left, Suiyu immediately laughed. She bent her eyes and said to Xie Wu, "Girl, you are finally willing to believe me! Do you know how long I have been waiting for this day?"
She knew that the girl was not happy for her to come near her, so she kept vigil every time, for fear that the girl would notice. Take last night for example, she watched the girl tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. She was so worried that she wanted to ask the girl several times.
What's there to worry about, but she doesn't dare, because the last time she let the young master in, the girl explicitly prohibited him from approaching her boudoir.
As a maid, it is really difficult for her!
Looking at Suiyu's smiling eyebrows, Xie Wu couldn't help but frown slightly.
She just wanted to make it easier for her to assign Suiyu to do things, but looking at her expression, it was as if she had promised something big!
"Girl, please tell me, what do you want me to do?" Suiyu ignored Xie Wu's slightly frowning and looked at Xie Wu excitedly.
It would be great if there could be something as big as the last time at Dinghui Temple. She stayed in the Hou Mansion watering the flowers every day until her hands and feet were rusty. She really wanted to find some people to practice her skills with!
Seeing the excited and expectant look on Suiyu's face, Xie Wu moved the corners of her lips, and when the words reached her lips, she was suddenly unable to speak.
What did she say? She said she wanted to see Lu Zhan...
As soon as these words came out, she knew what Suiyu's expression would be without even thinking about it.
"Forget it, it's okay." Xie Wu frowned and swallowed the words that reached her lips.
She couldn't take the initiative to see Lu Zhan, otherwise, with Lu Zhan's tendency to climb up the ladder, there's no telling how proud he would be!
"No, it's okay? How could it be okay? You weren't worried all night last night..." After saying this, Suiyu suddenly realized something. She hurriedly shut her mouth, but after all, it was still a little late. Xie Wu looked at her
Her eyes had turned cold as she spoke, "Girl, this is the Young Master, and the Young Master has issued a death order to keep this slave from you..."
If it weren't for the fear of pain, Suiyu would have wanted to raise her hand and give herself a slap.
Let you speak quickly! Let you speak quickly!
She finally managed to get through it until the girl was willing to keep her by her side, and she no longer had to live that sneaky life, but now...
It's really difficult for her. As long as she serves one master, her life will be miserable. She has two masters, so forget it. However, these two masters are more shrewd than the other. With her IQ, she is just cannon fodder in the middle.
life...
Gosh!
Really, please, please bless the young master to marry the girl back as soon as possible, so that she doesn’t have to be caught in the middle and be in trouble!
Seeing Xie Wu's face getting darker and darker, Broiyu finally couldn't help but timidly pulled her neck back, "Girl, how about I go back to water the flowers?"
"There's no need to water the flowers. You can hand a letter to my cousin in the Chen family later, saying that I have something to tell him and asking him to wait for me at Jinxiufang tomorrow noon." Xie Wu looked at Sui Yu and said calmly.
"Chen, Mr. Chen?" Suiyu blinked, thinking she heard wrongly.
"Go! Remember, don't disturb the Chen family." Xie Wu looked at Suiyu calmly and added lightly.
This time, Sui Yu was not calm at all.
The girl tossed and turned and couldn't sleep yesterday. Could it be because of Mr. Chen's...
