Invincible son

Chapter 875 874 [Young Phoenix]

In the Southern Zhou Dynasty, Jian'an City was built.

The mansion of the chief assistant of the cabinet is not far from the imperial city, and covers a rather large area. There are all kinds of pavilions, terraces, pavilions, waterside pavilions and rockeries in the mansion, which is worthy of the status of the chief assistant.This house is an official residence specially given by Emperor Qingyuan. It was renovated before Xu Huiyan and his family moved in. The layout is elegant and quiet, to show the emperor's honor to the first assistant.

There are a lot of servants in the mansion, but because of Qinghe Xu's strict rules for thousands of years, these servants never dare to make loud noises.

In the past, there was a courtyard where laughter and laughter could often be heard, but now even this place is particularly solemn.

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

For six whole days she did not smile once.

The maids and women are walking on thin ice, lest they make mistakes, and no one dares to discuss in private, which shows Xu Huiyan's strict family management.But they had heard some things, it seemed that their young lady sent the princess to marry Beiliang, but what His Majesty the Emperor and the Duke of Zhenguo wanted to do was to use this opportunity to attack Jiangling.

The final result needless to say, Tangtang Zhen Guogong was forced to resign as Prime Minister and Minister of Military Affairs.And I heard that there are disputes in the court every day, and those officials and gentlemen are so angry that their faces are red.

At this moment, Xu Churong came back.

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

The two maidservants walked out of the main room carrying the food box and looked at each other with sad faces.

Compared with those ordinary maids and women, these two have been by Xu Churong's side all the time, and they are full of worries about her current state.

"Stand still." A mellow voice sounded from the front.

The maids were taken aback, and after seeing the person, they hurriedly blessed and said, "Third Young Master, please be well."

Xu Xi looked at the food box, and said in a deep voice, "Chu Rong still has no appetite?"

The servant girl on the left replied: "Yes, Miss used half a bowl of porridge in the morning, but didn't eat at noon."

Xu Xi frowned slightly and said, "Go and tell the kitchen to get some dishes from the north, and then send them over."

The maids were greatly surprised, after all, the mansion has never allowed to mention the word north, so as not to attract unnecessary suspicion, but they naturally did not dare to disobey Xu Xi's order, bowed their heads and left with the food box.

Xu Xi walked slowly into the side study, came to Xu Churong who was sitting alone by the window, looked at her obviously thinner side face, and said after a long hesitation: "Little sister, father never thought of letting you die." In a dangerous place. You sent the princess to Jiangling, and you should have returned in time, but no one thought that you would accompany His Highness into the city, and then the following things happened. When you are trapped in Jiangling city, there is nothing your father can do to save you, and This is related to the great plan of the country. Only His Majesty, Duke Zhen and father know the details beforehand. He can't send someone to follow you. Hey...this is actually..."

"I can't help myself, I understand, third brother doesn't need to say more." Xu Churong's tone was very calm, but it didn't sound like the voice that a 16-year-old girl should have.

Xu Xi trembled in his heart. He loved this younger sister very much since he was a child, but this incident caused her such a big blow that it will be difficult to smooth it over for a while.It's a pity that he didn't know Fang Xiexiao's plan beforehand, otherwise he would have prevented Xu Churong from sending Princess Qinghe off no matter what, even if it aroused Pei Yue's suspicion.

Pulling up a chair and sitting beside him, Xu Xiqiang said with a smile: "Winter is coming, and the scenery over Bihu Lake is very nice, how about I take you there to relax?"

Xu Churong finally turned to look at his elder brother, shook his head slightly and said, "Third Brother, there's no need to do this, I'll be fine in a while."

Xu Xi sighed: "But these days when my father talked to you, you never said a word. Father felt very uncomfortable..."

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

Xu Xi felt relieved, and quickly patted his chest and said, "Even if you say it, I will definitely do it."

Xu Churong said: "Father has always regarded the third brother as the future patriarch and cultivated him. He has given the third brother a lot of resources over the years. My younger sister wants to ask the third brother to help arrange some people's official positions."

She spoke so straightforwardly, Xu Xi was taken aback for a while before asking: "Who?"

Xu Churong took out a piece of paper from the bottom of the stack of books on the left, and handed it to Xu Xi.

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. capable talents.

Seeing that he was silent, Xu Churong asked, "Third brother, do you find it difficult?"

Xu Xi shook his head. Although it is not easy to solve the whereabouts of so many people at once, but after all, they are only some middle- and lower-level officials, and he does not need to come forward in person. As long as Xu Shoufu's name is used, the solution can be easily solved.He just didn't understand what the little girl was thinking, since there was so much sadness and grievance hidden in her heart, how could she be interested in doing these things that she never bothered to do in the past.

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

"Father is not easy to do things, I want to help share some."

Xu Churong's tone was calm, and then he changed the subject: "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 something to my father."

Xu Xi's heart moved. With his current status, he has been able to get in touch with some high-level secrets, so he is naturally aware of the situation of Qinghe Xu's family and the complicated situation that they need to face in the future.

Looking at Xu Churong's demure and indifferent face, he sighed softly and said, "Okay, I'll help you with this matter. Younger sister, don't blame me for being nagging, my father needs to consider too complicated gains and losses , but he will never hurt his beloved daughter."

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

Xu Xi also laughed, got up holding the piece of paper and said: "I have asked the kitchen to prepare some food again, which are all the flavors of the north. You can use some, so as not to hurt the root."

Xu Churong responded softly.

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

At this moment, he should have embarked on the journey home, which is his home.

Xu Churong knew that Pei Yue's actions could be called magnanimous, but she would rather that the other party was not so magnanimous. Sometimes people are so complicated, and what they want is not available, and they are reluctant to part with it.

It would be fine if she was just an ordinary girl, she was nothing more than Luo Hua's intentional flow of water and ruthlessness, giving spring breeze with affection.But she has been walking in the imperial city since she was a child, and all she sees are people who stand at the pinnacle of power. Her past experience has made her familiar with the word power, which is a secret that many people can't understand in their entire lives.

Because of her daughter's status, she used to be unwilling and disdainful to get involved in those intrigues.

Now she has changed her mind.

In fact, Xu Xi didn't understand that the formerly beloved sister no longer hated their father in her heart, nor did she think of putting Qinghe Xu's family in a dangerous situation, she just wanted to hold some things tightly in her hands.

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

As she said in the other courtyard in Puqi City at that time, she didn't want others to decide her own destiny.

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

Maybe one day in the future, that nasty guy couldn't survive in the north, and fled to the south in disgrace.

At that time, should he be given a place to live, or should he be ridiculed mercilessly?

"Humph!"

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

After all, it reveals a bit of girlish childishness.

But there is another surprising phenomenon, gradually appearing in her body.
