Chapter 1045

When the grounded Xiao Rui was released, she was still puzzled.

Dad was so angry that day, why did he let her go so easily?
Just when she was puzzled, the eldest son of the Xiaowuhou Mansion, her elder brother, told the whole story.

"The young master of the Xie family brought his newlywed wife to the capital, and asked his younger sister to accompany his wife around the capital these days.

Father didn't agree to it before, but Young Master Xie said that the winter clothes prepared for the army this year will be selected first by the Xiaowuhou Mansion.

He also gave away one hundred pigs and one hundred sheep for free, so my father happily agreed. "

After hearing this, Xiao Rui felt that it was in line with her father's choice.

In order for the soldiers in the army to have enough food and clothing over the years, her father has spent a lot of time trying to get benefits from the emperor.

Naturally, as the richest Xie family in Daqi, her father did not hesitate to make up his mind.

It's a pity that her father was good at fighting, but he was not as good as Xie's family.

This time, it is strange not to be tempted to reap so many benefits from the Xie family.

"Brother, there are many noble girls in Beijing, why did Young Master Xie choose me?" Xiao Rui was puzzled, "As Mrs. Xie, it is also appropriate to be accompanied by Princess Ruan."

Xiao Fei put his hands behind his back and said as he walked: "Father also asked this question, Young Master Xie said that the noble daughter in Beijing treats people kindly and does not treat people differently because of their status.

As for Princess Ruan, I heard that she has been ill recently and is recuperating. "

Hearing that Princess Ruan was ill, Xiao Rui was stunned for a moment, not daring to ask further questions.

After all, knowing more about royal affairs is not necessarily a good thing.

"Brother, with the power of the Xie clan, no one in Beijing will give face.

It's such a rare opportunity to accompany Mrs. Xie Shao, who would dare to offend her.

I always feel that this is weird, is there some kind of conspiracy? "

Xiao Fei tapped his younger sister's head lightly, "You're overthinking, there's no conspiracy, it's just because Mrs. Xie was born in a farming family.

Accompanied by other noble girls, there will only be two situations, either they are arrogant, or they are deliberately trying to please.

Either way, Mrs. Xie will not be happy.

Therefore, the younger sister who treats others regardless of status is naturally picked by Young Master Xie. "

After Xiao Rui understood, she was relieved.

"Let's go." Xiao Fei urged.

"Where are you going?" Xiao Rui asked, with surprised eyes, "Could it be that you are going to find Mrs. Xie now?"

It was almost noon when the two brothers and sisters arrived at Xianyun Tower.

The shopkeeper invited the two of them to the wing room in the backyard and left.

After a while, Hua Qian dragged Mei Ziyu to appear together, and Xiao Rui stood up in shock.

She stared at the hands they held together, her face turned red and then pale.

Could it be that during the days when she was grounded, Ziyu met the girl in front of her?
As soon as Mei Ziyu saw Xiao Rui, she immediately pushed Hua Qian away.

"Ruier..."

"Brat, don't get close to my sister!" Xiao Fei immediately stood in front of Xiao Rui, separating Mei Ziyu.

Hua Qian who was pushed away almost fell down, but luckily she supported the chair beside her.

As soon as she raised her head, she met Xiao Rui's scrutinizing gaze, and Hua Qian immediately showed a friendly smile.

"Grandma, so you were so beautiful when you were young!" Hua Qian said, she threw herself on Xiao Rui's body, rubbing back and forth.

Xiao Fei saw that Mei Ziyu didn't do anything to his sister, but the girl was a little abnormal.

Is it too impolite for someone to pounce on someone the first time they meet?
Shocked and helpless, Xiao Rui pushed Hua Qian's head vigorously, and said with a wry smile: "Sister, do we know each other well?"

Hua Qian looked at Xiao Rui with a smile and nodded, "Grandma, we know each other very well."

"Grandma, grandma?" Xiao Rui looked around, convinced that it was her that Hua Qian called, and couldn't help but look at Mei Ziyu.

Facing Xiao Rui's questioning gaze, Mei Ziyu smiled wryly and said, "This girl still calls me Grandpa. You don't have to worry about it, Ruier."

"I don't care, hehe..." Xiao Fei smiled coldly.

This girl is called Mei Ziyu's grandfather, and her younger sister is called grandma, so don't they...

Wait, did Mei Ziyu arrange this girl?

Thinking of this, Xiao Fei only felt that Mei Ziyu had enough thoughts.

In order to get his sister's favor, he really did everything possible.

I thought he was a talented person before, but now it seems that he is a hypocrite who does not deserve his name.

Xiao Rui, who was so hard to breathe by Hua Qian's hug, said helplessly, "Sister, can you let me go for a while?"

At this time, Yue Xia came in, saw Hua Qian hugged Xiao Rui tightly, frowned and said: "Qian'er, come here."

Hua Qian turned her head and saw that Yue Xia's expression was worried, so she quickly let go and walked towards him.

"Ayue, you are here."

Xiao Fei and Xiao Rui were taken aback when they saw Yue Xia, and then saluted immediately.

"I have seen His Royal Highness."

"Madam, Your Highness the Crown Prince?!" Mei Ziyu couldn't believe that the Yue Xia standing in front of him turned out to be the current Crown Prince.

After Yue Xia took Hua Qian to sit down, she said: "There is no need to be polite."

Xiao Rui who stood up couldn't help but look at Nangong Yue more, always feeling that the person in front of her seemed to be different from before.

"Your Highness, why are you here?" Xiao Fei asked.

Yue Xia tapped on the table, did not answer immediately, but looked at Hua Qian and said: "Take Miss Xiao to the next yard to find my sister to play, I have something to talk to Mr. Xiao and Mr. Mei."

"Okay, then I'm leaving. Ah Yue is done, remember to come to me." After Hua Qian finished speaking, she got up and pulled Xiao Rui away.

"This..." Xiao Fei seemed displeased with Xiao Rui and Hua Qian staying together, "What does His Royal Highness mean?"

Xie Hongzhi, who came belatedly, just walked into the wing room and glanced at Xiao Fei, "Nangong Yue still needs to explain to you?"

Xiao Fei was startled, and endured the unhappiness in his heart.

After Yue Xia drank the tea in the cup, he said, "Your Majesty Xiao, there is no need to worry, Qian'er will not hurt Miss Xiao.

Today, what I want to talk about is the burning of the Marking Pavilion.

And, the imperial father issued an imperial decree to retake the exam. "

"Re-examination?" Mei Ziyu stood up in shock, "Is this serious?"

Yue Xia nodded, "The imperial decree should come down in about a while."

If it was possible to retake the exam, it would be heavenly music to Mei Ziyu.

The three people present saw his expression and thought it was extremely normal.

For the students studying hard in the poor window, who would not want to go to high school in one fell swoop, shine on the lintel, and go straight to the sky from then on.

Although Mei Ziyu has this reason, the most important thing is that he can only marry Xiao Rui if he is admitted as the number one scholar. After all, their identities are very different.

"Mr. Mei, I heard that you are Xie Yuan of the Fengxi Urban and Rural Examination, but you were sent out of the examination room halfway through this general examination. Why?" Yue Xia asked knowingly.

After Mei Ziyu learned that Yue Xia's identity was the prince, she decided to tell him what happened to her.

"Your Highness, do you know the three rumors that have been circulated in Beijing?"

Yue Xia nodded.

Seeing this, Mei Ziyu said again: "One of the articles was written by Cao Min himself."
