Yongping pursed his lips, but said no more.

Xu Yin walked up to her: "You are quite self-aware. But since you believe that I married you because of Prince Rong's palace and not because of you, then you kept approaching me when I was still engaged, and you kept coming to me again and again. Isn’t it mean for me to criticize my fiancée in front of me and repeatedly hint that Prince Rong’s palace can give me everything that the Liang family cannot?”

Yongping's face turned pale: "You actually said that to me!"

"Didn't you ask for this yourself?"

Xu Yin's eyes were cold, "My marriage to you is a benefit of the Turong Palace, so what value do you have? You regard yourself as a tool, and you are willing to think that you are the stepping stone for me to pursue an official career. What do I have? Unspeakable?

"She is dead. She will never know again how you went behind her back and slandered her in front of her fiancé, saying that she was rude, violent, ignorant of rules, and inferior to you in appearance and appearance.

"She will not know that you did not hesitate to attack the Liang family in order to steal her fiancé. When you knew that she had lost two brothers and the Liang family only had two young children left, you still cried and begged you His father went to the palace to strongly recommend Liang Chen to lead the expedition.

"You know that the war in the northwest is dangerous, and so many veterans have died. Liang Chen's trip there must be very dangerous.

"You know that no matter whether Liang Chen is dead or injured, the Liang family will never be able to compete with Prince Rong's Mansion.

"She, Liang Ning, can no longer resist or fight back against you. Even if you take away her love, she still has to take care of the entire family. She can't do anything but watch me marry you.

"From the very beginning you have been showing off to me the value of Prince Rong's Mansion. Look at how successful you are, shouldn't you be happy?

"Aren't you doing all this just to make me become the opportunistic person? Aren't you doing all this just to get my person?

"Are you still trying to win my heart?

"You don't think that after you have exhausted all your traps and let a person's weakness become a lever in your hands, he will still fall in love with you, do you?"

"Xu Yin!"

Yongping roared angrily and opened his eyes wide!

"Now it seems that apart from having a good mother-in-law, you are really useless! You want to use your power and position to suppress me, and you want to get me. How can you do such a good thing?"

Xu Yin sneered, then took the cloak from her hand and walked out of the yard without looking back.

"Xu Yin!"

Yongping cried and shouted, but no matter how loud his voice was, who could call him back?

……

The trip to offer incense was in the afternoon of the 14th, and Mrs. Ning had no time to spare, so she stuffed the banknotes and asked Fu Zhen to go alone.

Su Xing'er sent someone here early in the morning, saying that the Crown Prince's crowning ceremony was about to take place, and the emperor would leave Liang Chen and Pei Zhan to discuss matters in the afternoon, and Prince Rong would also go there, so they would not be able to enter the mountain until night at the earliest, so Su Xing'er and Fu Zhen They went to the temple first.

Because Xu Yin happens to be a minister in the Ministry of Rites, and the current minister of the Ministry of Rites is also the minister of Zhan, Xu Yin, the left minister, is in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites. Xu Yin must take the lead in the crown ceremony. Fu Zhen wants to know about this ceremony He asked Su Xing'er to wait for her outside the city gate when the time came, and Fu Zhen would ride in a car with her.

There is a court meeting every three days.

When the morning light entered the courtyard, Lian Ruan entered the study with tea.

Xu Yin was sleeping on the couch with his clothes still on.

Lian Ruan paused under the door for a moment, then gently stepped forward and covered him with a piece of clothing.

Xu Yin woke up, frowned and saw it was him, then sat up with his eyebrows pinched: "What time is it?"

"It's time for the due date." Lianren brought the tea over and looked at his expression: "Did the master quarrel with the princess again last night?"

Xu Yin looked hesitant, took the tea he handed him, rinsed his mouth, and said indifferently: "Only villains and women are difficult to raise."

Lian Ruan nodded slightly and said, "The princess' temper has its own origin. I usually treat her calmly, but in the past few days, she seems to be a little impetuous."

Xu Yin took a deep breath and said slowly: "Don't you think she is getting stupider and stupider?"

Lian Ruan sighed softly: "Women are all somewhat petty."

Xu Yin looked ahead: "Even if they are, there are still some who are clever and free-spirited." His eyes fell on the mottled head on the wall.

"She wouldn't. She would never do these stupid things or say these stupid words. The most stupid thing she did was to believe in me wholeheartedly."

Xu Yin's eyes were deep and dark: "Looking back now, I was still anxious at the time, and I actually underestimated the bloody nature of the children of the Liang family.

"Who would have thought that Liang Chen actually came back later? He fought so many victorious battles, recaptured so many cities, and returned to the ranks of first-class nobles with his flesh and blood.

"The Liang family has never been aggressive towards me until now."

Lian Ruan was silent: "Does the master regret what happened that night?"

Xu Yin sat in silence for a moment and looked back: "No. I will never regret it. Although I took her life, I also got what I wanted, didn't I?"

He kept his jaw deep for a long time.

Xu Yin said again: "As soon as the crown ceremony of the crown prince is over, Minister Lin will abdicate. Then the position of Minister of Rites will be mine. I have been going very smoothly in the past six years, why should I regret it?"

He nodded repeatedly: "When the Emperor was tempted to support the master the last two times, he might have been worried that some people in the court would question the master's junior qualifications. He was promoted to the throne by the Rong Palace. In the past two years, he has presided over several national celebrations, and again in the past two years. In participating in politics, he has put forward many good strategies, and at the same time, he has published many brilliant articles. His talents are obvious to all.

"Now is the time when the court is employing people. Taking on the position of Minister of Rites is enough to win the hearts of the people in the world."

Xu Yin was not moved by the compliment, he said: "At this critical moment, remember to cut off all unnecessary official involvement with Prince Rong's Mansion.

"I am just the son-in-law of Prince Rong's Mansion, not a vassal of the Prince's Mansion. I can get as close as I want in daily etiquette. Don't forget that my target is Zhan Shi's Mansion.

"Once you get too closely involved with the palace, this road will be difficult to follow."

"Young man, I won't miss anything." Lian Ruan accepted the order and said, "Then how do you decide on the matter of going to the temple to offer incense?"

Xu Yin had a look in his eyes again: "Did she ask you to ask?"

Lian Ruan said: "The princess gave the order to the little one before she left. The little one dare not disobey the mistress's orders."

Xu Yin frowned and thought.

Just at this time, someone outside reported: "Someone from the Yamen came to convey a message. The Emperor has an edict. The ceremony is coming soon. Master Xuan will come to the palace to discuss matters at noon."

He quickly opened the curtain and said, "Do you have anything to discuss?"

"I didn't say who was coming. But I did say that the prince and several generals will be there."

He rushed back to the house: "That seems to be a matter of ceremony defense."

Xu Yin thought for a while and then said: "Is He Qunying still training soldiers in the camp recently?"

"Yes, since he beat his wife to death last time, he has been demoted from a general to a centurion, and he is still training troops in the Gyeonggi camp."

Xu Yin frowned: "This is a clan ceremony. As the Zongzheng of the clan, the prince will definitely be awarded the title of commander-in-chief of defense. Taking this opportunity, we will help He Qunying.

"——You go and explain, go into the mountains at night."

Say yes repeatedly.

Xu Yin took a sip of tea and suddenly called him to the door again: "I heard that Fu Yun's ex-wife opened a new restaurant in the capital?"

"Exactly. And the reputation is pretty good. After all, she is the only daughter of a former imperial merchant. She has a lot of skills in business."

Xu Yin raised his eyebrows: "Go and buy a few of their signatures, then go to the jade shop to pick out some bracelets and jade pei, and then take them to the mountain."
