Hanliang hall.

Xie Qiaodan took a piece of pastry and stuffed it into Xie Hulang's hand, still eating in her mouth, she said in an indistinct milky voice: "Sister, don't be angry, eat something, it's sweet, it's delicious."

Xie Hulang rubbed Xie Qiaodan's head, "Thank you Qiaodan."

Xie Hulang stuffed the pastry into his mouth, chewed it a few times before swallowing it, leaned over and continued to ask Xie Yu: "Brother Huang, you said that I can go out of the palace to live with my princess after my aunt's birthday banquet?"Mansion, so you don’t mind what I see inside?”

Xie Yu flicked Xie Hulang's head away without holding back, and a big red mark instantly appeared on the forehead of the noble Princess Hui'an.Xie Yu frowned after seeing it, "As long as you don't do anything against you, I will do as you please."

Xie Hulang's eyes lit up, "Really, it's hard to chase after a word."

Xie Yu glanced at her, which was quite meaningful, "We will discuss this matter after the Queen Mother's birthday banquet."

Xie Hulang felt that the tone of Xie Yu's words was not quite right, but this time the emperor finally let go, as soon as the aunt's birthday banquet was over, she would move to the princess mansion.

Xie Yu glanced at the position of the tree shadow outside the window, and said to Xie Hulang and Xie Qiaodan: "It's getting late, you guys should go back too."

Xie Hulang looked at Xie Yu's expression of taking it for granted, and felt a little furious, "Brother Huang, you didn't even keep us for dinner today, but it will be noon soon."

Xie Yu wasn't embarrassed at all, and said perfunctorily, "Brother Huang still has something to do, you go back by yourself, dear, if there is anything you want to eat, you can tell the back chef yourself."

Xie Hulang took Xie Qiaodan's hand, "We don't care about your place, let's go, Qiaodan, let's go to the Empress Dowager's place to eat delicious food. Yesterday she told me that she missed us Qiaodan, just today we two go to seeHow is the Queen Mother?"

Xie Yu blinked his eyes when he heard what she said. The Empress Dowager Xiao would indeed be able to control people's hearts, at least his own silly younger sister had already been controlled by Xiao Jia.

But it's okay, let that silly girl Xie Hulang teach her a lesson, it doesn't mean that whoever does what she wants treats her well.

Xie Yu called Zhao Xi to come over, and gave some instructions in a low voice.

Zhao Xi nodded with a serious expression, "Don't worry about doing things with your servant."

Xiao Peiwan's baby is going to be born next month, and next month is Xiao Jia's birthday, it's really "good things come in pairs"!

Xie Yu looked in the direction of the Palace of Compassion and Peace, with a little presumptuousness in his smile, Queen Mother Xiao, who do you think will win between the two of us?

Aunt, you have planned for so long, didn't you realize that I don't intend to give up my throne to others so easily.

Wen Yu's home.

She walked into the study, and sure enough, as Lu Axi said, the letter was placed on the desk, very conspicuous.She took the letter in her hand, looked at it carefully, and found that it was indeed Yin Junfu's handwriting, and opened the letter.

Unlike the two or three pieces of paper last time, this time there was only a simple piece of paper with only one sentence written on it.

Return to Beijing soon.

The payment was made a month ago.

She took this thin letter paper in her hand and read it several times, her heart that was about to jump out of her chest barely calmed down, Yin Junfu was coming back, he was coming back.

Although the Xiongnu's surprise attack on the Qing-Chi borderland was a bit unprepared, it was menacing at the beginning, but at the end, especially after this long winter, the weakness of the nomads became more and more exposed.They were not as adaptable to fighting in the cold winter as the soldiers of Daqi, and they retreated steadily.

Wen Yu still has some doubts about the details of this war, but after hearing this good news, her bad mood today was still swept away.She raised her eyebrows and exhaled.

Wen Yu thought about the end of summer, and when the end of autumn and early winter came, she would ask for leave and return to her hometown for a period of time.I happened to pass by Chang Yi on the way, so went to see Yu Shusi, and then went back to look for that girl Lin Xiangzhao. It was also possible to catch up with her grandfather's death anniversary this year.

Shu Si was squeezed out by Xu Weizhi at the beginning, and she secretly vowed to find out the reason, but who knows that after going through so many things, except for meeting Xu Weizhi at the teacher's memorial service, she never met Xu Weizhi again.

At the beginning, Wen Zhen investigated secretly by himself, and heard a lot of gossip, such as Xu Weizhi doting on his concubine and destroying his wife, or he gave his youngest daughter to others as a concubine in order to cling to the powerful.

But these are just rumors, but even so, Xu Weizhi is indeed not a likable guy.Although he is almost forty-five years old, he is not a quiet character. heard that he is planning to take in a new concubine recently.

However, officials are not fools, and there are not a few people who fawn on Xu Weizhi in the officialdom. After all, he has gone from seventh-rank Hanlin to fifth-rank Yuanwailang in just one year, and this person has not done anything that is admirable or admirable.achievements.The power behind him cannot be underestimated.

Wen Yu can only do these things secretly and secretly. She really doesn't know who is trustworthy, and she dare not tell others about it. It would be great if the teacher is still there.

It would be great if she could get lucky once and catch something about Xu Weizhi.But looking at her recent luck, the probability of such a thing happening is even lower than the probability of a pie falling from the sky.

Wen Yu patted her face, she stopped daydreaming, she was still too weak, that's why she was pinched around like an easy target.

In fact, what the uncle said to her before the Spring Festival last year, she still remembers it in her heart, and even thinks about it almost every day when she is paying tribute to the teacher.If I hadn't been so self-motivated, but seized every opportunity to climb up, wouldn't it make the teacher so sad, wouldn't the teacher worry so much about myself, and wouldn't leave so early.

The letter paper in Wen Yu's hand was already creased by her grip, she let go of her hand gently, flattened the letter paper, put it back into the envelope, and put it back in the drawer.

When the teacher was still there, he once talked to himself about His Majesty. He said that His Majesty is a wise emperor, better than the late Emperor and more decisive than the late Emperor. If he can keep doing this, maybe Daqi will reappear in a prosperous age.

At that time, the expectations in the teacher's eyes and the expectations for the future lingered in Wen Yu's mind, and she refused to leave for a long time.It is precisely because of this that Wen Yu has less and less resistance to Xie Yu. Until now, Wen Yu can regard His Majesty only as His Majesty, not an old friend from the past.

After lunch, Wen Yu took a short nap, just after waking up, Lu Axi knocked on the door and told her that Song Duan was here, and she was waiting for her in the living room.

After half a month, Song Duan's complexion has basically returned to the fairness of the past.

Song Duan didn't come here empty-handed this time, he handed the food box in his hand to Wen Yu, "It contains your favorite cakes. Ding Ji Bakery's Milk Tea Cheese, I remember you love this thing the most."

"Thank you, brother." Wen Yu was about to take it over, but Song Duan didn't let go, "The bottom is other things."

Wen Yu opened it suspiciously, and at the bottom of the food box was a stack of paper wrapped in greased paper. Before Wen Yu could take a closer look, Song Duan held it down.

"Wait until you go back to the house and read it. Remember to burn it after you finish reading it. That's fine, I won't keep any more, I'll go first."

As soon as the words fell, Song Duan's footsteps had already moved.

"Brother, you are leaving now, don't you want to stay for a while? We haven't even spoken a few words." Wen Yu quickly stood up and followed him, thinking of the bottom of the food box, she couldn't help asking: "Also, brother, what is this?"

Song Duan stopped and raised his eyebrows, "Little brother, if you don't ask, I won't tell, just burn it after reading it, okay?" Song Duan lowered his head slightly, and stretched out his hand to make a shh gesture around his mouth.

Wen Yu frowned, looked at the food box still on the coffee table in the room, and then at Song Duan.She didn't know what was in it at all, so naturally she didn't know what to say.

Song Duan saw her doubts, but he didn't answer them. His voice was as low and lazy as ever, "It took me a lot of time to bring this thing to you. It should be what you need. BrotherI have to enter the palace for a while, so I can't stay for too long."

What Song Duan said was that on the surface this thing was needed by Wen Yu, but he said that although he was in a hurry, he still had to give something to Wen Yu. The meaning was obvious, that Wen Yu was very special to Song Duan.

But Wen Yu didn't seem to understand Song Duan's implication at all, instead he said without the slightest hesitation: "Brother, you have been so busy recently. But, brother, what is the relationship between us, why bother you to come and deliver it yourself when you are so unfamiliar.Besides, senior brother, since you are so busy recently, you can just find someone to deliver the things, and you don't need to come here yourself."

Song Duan looked at Wen Yu's mouth opening and closing, and for the first time in his life, he had the urge to sew her up, whether the junior brother was born lacking in love, why he was so puzzled.

Song Duan felt a sense of frustration, did the younger brother really regard himself as an ordinary elder brother, but he didn't want to, Song Duan narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, and there were some emotions that Wen Yu didn't want to understand.

Wen Yu's eyelashes trembled slightly, her gaze moved down slightly, and she looked at Song Duan's blue eyes with concern, "Brother, after you are done with your busy work, you should take a good rest for a while. You are back for nothing now, this timeNow the black and blue color is more obvious."

"Little Junior Brother, thank you for your concern." Song Duan smiled brightly, but Wen Yu felt a burst of coldness for no reason.

"You're welcome, but senior brother, you're really a little weird today." Wen Yu rubbed her arms and complained a little strangely. Her tone was familiar and intimate with Song Duan, but it didn't contain the emotion he expected.

A trace of disappointment flashed across his eyes, and he also missed the unnaturalness in Wen Yu's expression.

It wasn't until Song Duan left her sight that Wen Yu let out a long sigh. She rubbed her face that was about to become stiff, and touched the roots of her ears that were already burning a little bit at a loss.

She is not a real machine, how could she have no feelings.

Senior brother treats him very well, so good that Wen Yu feels that he owes senior brother a little.She may have some feelings for her senior brother that she can't be understood or explained, but she hasn't figured out what it feels like, let alone respond to her senior brother.What's more, there must be no future, so don't think about it.

Wen Yu pursed her lower lip, then smiled unnaturally.

But what exactly did the senior brother give him, Wen Yu picked up the food box and walked back to the study.
