Chapter 232 I'm Not You
Suddenly he turned his back, and said: "Jin Xiao and the others all came from the chaos of war, and they really don't pay much attention to Daqin's red tape.

"They won't think there is anything wrong with you coming out with me at night when you have a marriage contract, including the people in their house.

"I know you don't think much of Tuoba people's casualness, but casualness doesn't mean they are bad people."

He rarely mentioned such serious topics, she straightened up.

"Don't be stressed." He looked at her with deep eyes.

Shen Xi was surprised that he was so careful that he could see what she was worried about.

But is she so obvious?

The carriage stopped when it entered Lumingfang, and she returned to Qi Jiu's carriage following behind.

Xiao Huai left her and went back to the palace, the lights in Chengyun Hall were still on.

King Yan sat cross-legged on the Luohan bed to solve the chess game. The palace was luxurious and quiet, and the light reflected by the high and low candlesticks on all sides added a bit of grandeur.

Seeing him, King Yan squeezed the chess piece and said, "What's going on between Shen Xi and the Han family?"

Xiao Huai walked to the couch, and unceremoniously stretched out his hand to pick up the tea in front of him and ate it: "Why didn't the lord say anything, what happened to the Han family and Shen Xi?"

King Yan raised his eyebrows: "Is there a difference?" He raised his head sideways, and compared with Xiao Huai's coldness, his more casual face cast a neat outline on the screen.

"Yes." Xiao Huai turned his head and looked contemptuously, "The Han family wanted to marry Song Jiao to me, but they blamed Shen Xi for being too popular. The young lady of the family still humiliated her behind the Xiangguo Temple.

"Of course the prince can guess why the old lady of the Han family entered the door of the Shen family."

King Yan frowned slightly, looking at the teacup he had drunk: "I heard that you had a good relationship with her before you gave her the marriage."

"She looks good." Xiao Huai said.

"Song Jiao looks good too."

"Besides being good-looking, she can also coax people." He squinted and looked ahead, "Song Jiao has a stubborn temper, and I can't afford to serve her."

Yan Wang's eyes flickered slightly: "Then you will come forward to teach Han Min for her?"

"After all, it is my face." He lazily said, "It is also the face of our palace. Isn't it?"

King Yan raised his eyebrows, looked away and dropped a piece into the chess game: "It sounds like nothing leaks."

"I don't know what else the lord wants to hear from me?" He raised one lip.

The air is slightly stagnant.

King Yan stared at the chessboard for a while, then sat down and stood up.

He walked up to him slowly and stopped, looked him straight in the eyes and said: "At your age, of course you can marry the woman you like, but it's best to remember what this king taught you, power is the most reliable thing for a man." thing.

"Without enough power, it's useless for you to love anyone. Because you can't keep it."

"But I'm not you!" Xiao Huai turned his head sideways and walked out, "I'm different from you."

He retreated into the night outside the hall, shaking out a path of light and shadow under the veranda.

The next day was the day when Shen Xin returned to peace.

The question that I couldn't understand all night seemed to have an answer the next morning.

After breakfast, he was about to ask about the situation in the Han family, when the maids came to report, the wife of the eldest son of the Marquis of Weiyuan organized a flower viewing party, and solemnly invited her to attend the meeting in a few days.

Also present at the meeting were the wife and young lady of Uncle Wuning's mansion, the two ladies of General Zhenbei Liu's mansion, and many people in the military circle.

Leaving aside the imperial decree for bestowing marriage on her body, it is indeed no small honor to be invited by the female relatives of the Zuanying Xungui Mansion.

Seeing these familiar titles popping up one by one, she suddenly thought of the game of last night.

The female family members who were named were all noble family members who played in the game last night. Apart from Jin Xiao, Liu He and the others giving orders after they went back, what else could be the reason?
No wonder Liu He would ask where the Shen residence is located, it seems that they were present at that time, they had already seen Xiao Huai's intentions, and were planning.

In this way, Xiao Huai brought her to show up on purpose, to let Weiyuan Hou Shizi and the others know her, and perhaps to affirm her status in advance.

And they are all human beings, guessing that Xiao Huai will not let her make friends with them.Naturally, he wanted her to enter the official circle.

Of course, he couldn't speak out about this kind of thing, otherwise she would lose face as a concubine.

So after they returned home, they immediately informed their family members and asked them to submit posts.

Houses like Weiyuan Hou's Mansion, Wuning Bo's Mansion, and Zhenbei General's Mansion are not weak, and the number of holy families is strong. If she can have a bunch of handkerchiefs like this, she will have more confidence in going in and out.

He is trying to push her position up.

He actually helped her think of everything.

Looking at the post in her hand, she couldn't help being dazed again.

Wen Chan on the side of the Han family actually lay down for two days after returning home.

She is good at taking care of herself. Apart from the occasional illness on her back, she has seldom suffered from illness for many years. After lying down for two days, the atmosphere in the mansion is not so relaxed.

Unexpectedly, she didn't let people go in to see her. Only a few useful servants around her, as well as Han Ning and Song Jiao, could go in to accompany her, and even Han Dun couldn't go in.

Han Dun picked up the puppet and thought about it in the study for two days, when Tan Ji, his aide, came.

"The old lady's appearance is clearly annoying me."

Tan Ji looked at the puppet, but said: "The old lady is Miss Shen who went looking for Miss Shen after being stimulated by this puppet. Judging from this puppet, she is also a woman. From this, it can be seen that this is just some kind of relationship among the female relatives. resentment.

"I feel that this matter can be left to the old lady to handle on her own."

Han Dun was noncommittal, staring out the window with his eyebrows fixed, and tapped lightly on the table with his five fingers slightly bent.

Tan Ji looked at his face, and continued: "It just so happened that I received another piece of news."

He looked over.

Tan Ji said: "It is said that Mrs. Weiyuan Hou Shizi handed over a message to Miss Shen, inviting her to participate in the Chongyang Flower Appreciation Party. Every year the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion holds a flower appreciation event, and all the attendees are important officials and family members. This time, Shen was invited Xi."

"Oh?" Han Dun narrowed his eyes.

Tan Ji nodded, and continued: "Xiao Shizi not only accompanied Miss Shen to Xiangguo Temple, but also stood up for Miss Shen afterwards, although this does not fully prove how much the prince values ​​her, but at least it shows that he does not regret this marriage.

"The Marquis of Weiyuan is the direct descendant of Prince Yan's residence, this time Miss Shen made such a move before she officially became the Crown Princess, it can also be seen that certain information was confirmed through Prince Yan's residence.

"The matter of the old lady going to the Shen family must not be hidden from Yan Wang's residence.

"And the son who has always been strong and domineering, even though he knew about the conflict between the old lady and Miss Shen, he never took the opportunity to intervene, so it can be seen that he is unwilling to get into this muddy water easily.

"Then why do you need to intervene, making the Han family passive?

"Elder Ge doesn't intervene, it's a trivial matter between female relatives, Elder Ge intervenes, Prince Xiao will definitely not stand by and watch, then it may be a factional dispute."
