The Stratagem of the Concubine of the Cold King

Chapter 73 The Great Counterattack (4)
"You all just heard that I went to Fengxian Tower yesterday, and that Miss Xisan really lived up to her reputation, she is talented and talented, and she looks like a fairy. A peacock dance has made me especially fond of it."

One sentence from all the officials made Xi Bojian's old face flush with anger, but Xiao Yunhe stood on the side at this moment, but remained silent. Seeing Xi Bojian's anger, he felt very happy in his heart .

So many officials are discussing the matter of Xi Zhuqin, especially some officials, who are the celebrities in front of the emperor. Although Xi Bojian is angry, he does not dare to offend all the people. It is difficult for Youyou to speak Xi Bojian slapped Xiao Yunhe hard, and joked coldly: "Master Xiao, you have raised a good son, and you have even painted the affairs of your boudoir on the lintel of your household minister's mansion. It really opened my eyes."

"You..." As soon as that matter was mentioned, Xiao Yunhe became impatient. He glared at Xi Bojian fiercely, and you didn't say a word for a long time.

To Xiao Yunhe, that incident was a great shame and humiliation. What is even more exasperating is that he has not yet found out who did that incident. He dared to draw pictures of erotic palaces on the gate of the Household Minister's Mansion. , This not only made Xiao Teng lose face, but also slapped Xiao Yunhe's old face. The painter did not pay attention to him, a first-rank member of Nanheng Kingdom, and that incident caused some commotion in Hanyang City. He thought that after so many days, he had been forgotten by others, but now Xi Bojian brought up this matter again, completely humiliating his old face.

Sure enough, after hearing Xi Bojian's words, the group of officials stopped discussing the matter of Xi Zhuqin, but turned to look at Xiao Yunhe. Although they didn't speak, their faces were full of sarcasm The smile, that smile couldn't be more obvious, even Xiao Yunhe is a fledgling official, he can understand it.

"Hmph." Xiao Yunhe snorted displeasedly, flicked his sleeves fiercely, and strode out of the palace alone.

Xi Bojian's expression was not very good, and after Xiao Yunhe left, he didn't stay for a while, and left the palace alone, and walked towards his soft sedan chair waiting outside the palace.

The servants of An Guohou's mansion, seeing Xi Bojian approaching from a distance, immediately bent down, opened the curtain of the soft sedan chair, and waited for Xi Bojian to get on the sedan chair.

Xi Bojian walked up to the soft sedan, gently lifted the court clothes, and stepped onto the soft sedan. After he sat firmly, the servant lowered the curtain, and the two bearers carefully lifted the sedan chair and left the palace steadily. Go in the direction of An Guohou's Mansion.

"Have you heard that the third lady of An Guohou's Mansion went to Fengxian Tower to work last night?"

"Isn't it? I heard that Miss Xisan even competed with Wu Qingcheng, the number one oiran of Fengxian Tower."

"I also heard that the number one oiran was actually defeated by Miss Xisan."

"Hey, it's a pity that a place like Fengxianlou spends a lot of money, and it's not a place I can go. Even if I covet Miss Xisan's beauty and talent, it will only be in vain."

In the market, at street stalls, several men ordered tea and ordered some fennel beans, gathered around a table, and were discussing about Xi Zhuqin going to work in Fengxianlou.

Xi Zhuqin defeated Wu Qingcheng, and almost became the dream lover of young men in Hanyang City overnight, seduced the hearts and souls of many young men, and made some young women in boudoirs or women in boudoirs gnash their teeth. Several women were forming a group, slandering her in private.

"Presumably that Miss Xisan is not a good person. As the daughter of an official family, she would openly show her face and go to work in a place like Fengxian Tower. I'm afraid I'm crazy about men."

"Who said it wasn't? I heard that Miss Xisan exchanged love tokens with a young man after she defeated Wu Qingcheng last night."

"Miss Xisan is really shameless. Marriage is the order of her parents and the words of the matchmaker. She is openly flirting with young men."

Xibojian's soft sedan was traveling all the way on the streets of Hanyang City, and there were many stories about Xi Zhuqin's performing arts in Fengxian Tower, although the common people all stopped after they recognized the sedan chair of An Guohou's Mansion. mouth, but still so angry that Xi Bojian's old face was covered with clouds, and his hands hidden under the court clothes were tightly clenched into fists.

"Hurry up." Xi Bojian's cold words came out of the sedan chair, he was afraid that if he didn't return home sooner and listened to more talk about Xi Zhuqin, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood in the sedan chair.

"Yes, Lord Marquis." The servants accompanying the sedan chair heard that Xi Bojian's tone was not very good, and did not dare to delay at all to order the bearer: "Move the sedan chair faster."

The two bearers quickened their pace, and the soft sedan chair of An Guohou's mansion quickly passed through the street, and soon returned to An Guohou's mansion.

As soon as the soft sedan landed in front of the gate of An Guohou's mansion, before the servants who accompanied the sedan chair opened the curtain of the sedan chair, Xi Bojian acted on his own, got out of the soft sedan chair neatly, and strode angrily into the mansion .

"Master Hou is back." Bi Ye is the chief steward of the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion. Xi Bojian is going to court, so he naturally waited in front of the mansion of Marquis of Anguo's mansion early.

Xi Bojian's old face was full of clouds, and he ordered Bi Ye in a cold voice: "Go and call the third girl to me."

"Yes, Master Hou." Seeing that Xi Bojian was so depressed, Bi Ye was very knowledgeable about current affairs, so he didn't dare to ask what happened, and just responded to the matter.

Xi Bojian returned to the bamboo courtyard angrily, without thinking about changing out of his heavy court clothes, he entered the hall of the bamboo courtyard, swept his wide sleeves, and sat firmly on the carved grand master's chair in the main seat of the hall.

The little maid serving in the hall, seeing Xi Bojian coming in, bowed her head respectfully and walked to the side of the master, filled him with hot tea, and then respectfully retreated to the side of the hall.

"My maidservant has seen Madam, Second Miss." Qiu Jing, the eldest maid in Xi Bojian's room, was waiting outside the hall, seeing the eldest lady leading Xi Zhuyan over, blessed her body, and bowed lightly to the two of them.

"Get up, is the Marquis coming down?" Da Furen's voice was faintly heard outside the hall.

"Ma'am, please come in, Master Hou is in the hall right now." Qiu Jing replied.

Da Furen and Xi Zhuyan walked around Qiu Jing and walked into the hall with dignified lotus steps.

As soon as the two entered the hall, they saw Xi Bojian sitting on the main seat with gloomy brows. They glanced at each other and realized that most of the rumors they heard today were true.

"My concubine pays my respects to Master Hou."

"Yaner pays respects to father." Seeing that Xi Bojian was very unhappy, the mother and daughter walked up to Xi Bojian carefully, blessed their bodies slightly, and whispered good morning to Xi Bojian.

Xi Bojian raised his head and glanced at the mother and daughter. Seeing that the eldest lady was dignified and graceful, her frowns were a little smoother: "Get up, it's the lady who has a heart with Yan'er."
