Dressed as the mistress of the Hou family, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

Shen Ji lowered his eyes with a calm emotion. He put his fingertips on the light green tea cover and said warmly, "The Turks have come to make peace with each other and ask the emperor to fulfill the promise of the late emperor."

"The Turks have a tough attitude. Even if the emperor wants to keep the ninth princess, it will be in vain."

Xie Li tilted his head slightly and looked up at him, "What do you mean, the emperor didn't protect the ninth princess?"

Shen Ji shook his head, with a trace of regret flashing in his eyes, "The Turks are different from the northwest. The trade between the two countries cannot attract them. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the foundation is unstable, and General Song... The Turks have recognized this and are confident that the emperor will not Dare to break up with them."

"This is difficult to handle." Xie Li frowned and sighed softly, "In this case, how can the emperor explain to the Xiao family? That day... the Xiao family also put in a lot of effort."

Shen Ji lowered his long eyelashes, took a sip of warm tea, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty and I discussed it, and thought that raising the two generals of the Xiao family to the top would be a way of appeasing Concubine Xiao's heart."

"The Ninth Princess...has to get married."

Xie Li's face paused slightly, and he was speechless for a long time.

There was a crisp sound outside the door, and Shen Ji's eyes suddenly flickered. Xie Li also sat up straight and asked in a loud voice, "Who is outside?"

After a long silence outside, the study door was pushed open, revealing Song Huixin's pale face.

"Huixin?"

Xie Li stood up quickly and looked at her, "Why are you here?"

Song Huixin twitched the corners of her lips, and her smile was uglier than crying, "My mother said that she would have dinner in her yard today, so she asked me to tell you."

"I overheard you talking, I'm sorry."

After saying this, she turned to leave, but was stopped by Shen Ji's words.

"The Emperor has set the wedding date for the Ninth Princess. It will be three days later. Madam Xie... won't you go and see it?"

Song Huixin suddenly looked back and raised his voice, "Three days?"

Shen Ji said nothing and just looked at her quietly.

Song Huixin's eyes were in a trance, he blinked lightly and whispered, "She and I... have nothing to see each other."

After saying that, Song Huixin turned around and left, looking very flustered in his steps.

Xie Li looked back at Shen Ji with a helpless expression, "Why bother telling Hui Xin? With her temperament, she will definitely not send it off."

"The Ninth Princess regards your wife as her only friend and cherishes it very much. The details of that matter have nothing to do with her. It depends on your wife's plans." Shen Ji held the tea cup with a cold face, "She should know about the marriage. .”

Xie Li understood what he meant. He opened his thin lips and sighed quietly, "Speaking of which, why did the emperor set the wedding date for three days later? Is it too hasty?"

"How can you not be in a hurry?" Shen Ji tapped the lamp gently and said in a calm tone, "Tujue came directly with the betrothal gift. If he doesn't see the Ninth Princess, he won't leave the Yan Dynasty."

Xie Li was puzzled and asked with a frown, "Then Ji Cheng is a Turkic hostage. If he wants to get married, he should be in Dayan."

"You have to ask the late emperor." Shen Ji sneered, with a trace of sarcasm flashing in his eyes, "Ji Cheng is the most powerful prince in the Turks. It is ridiculous to accept him as a hostage. I am not afraid of what dirty tricks that guy will do behind his back. What?"

"Now the Turks have spoken and sent another proton, asking Dayan to release Ji Cheng."

Xie Li narrowed his eyes slightly and noticed something was wrong, "I'm afraid this Ji Cheng is not a spy sent by the Turks. Once we get some information, we will welcome him back..."

Shen Ji glanced at him and said in an appreciative tone, "You should be smarter."

Xie Li's brows twitched and he hurriedly asked, "Has the Emperor given any advice?"

"There is nothing we can do." Shen Ji shook his head with a natural expression, "Now that the emperor doesn't even take care of his own affairs, how can he dare to say no to the Turks?"

"Then you came to me today just to tell me that there is nothing you can do..." Xie Li paused and suddenly came back to his senses, "No, you must have something else!"

"You are the one who knows me." Shen Ji chuckled, his voice low, "If you want to turn this matter around, you have to rely on Young Master Lian."

Xie Li paused, her eyes met his, and her heart sank.

<divclass="contentadv">Two quarters of an hour later, the two stepped out of the study, their expressions far from good.

After waiting for a long time, Xie Li didn't see Shen Ji saying goodbye. His heart tightened and he asked in a deep voice, "Are you... waiting to have lunch with us?"

Shen Ji was staring at the koi in the pond in a daze. When he heard his words, he smiled knowingly and did not respond to his words.

Xie Li felt helpless, feeling angry and funny, "I knew you suddenly came to the door, it couldn't be for me."

Shen Ji raised his eyebrows and denied with a smile, "That's wrong. With the method I taught you today, you can reach at least two levels."

"I just want to see her once, is this okay?"

"Don't do this, it's just lip service. Isn't it me who is doing the hard work behind you?"

Shen Ji was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe that Xie Li would treat him like this.

"Shen Ji?"

A familiar voice came from outside the courtyard. Shen Ji shuddered and suddenly looked back at the courtyard door.

Fang Xu was wearing a big cloak, holding Mrs. Tang in his hand, and was looking inside.

Seeing that it was Shen Ji, Fang Xu smiled and said loudly, "Why are you here?"

The person he thought about day and night stood in front of him. Even though Shen Ji prided himself on being calm and calm, he couldn't help but smile and replied in a low voice, "I'm here to discuss matters between the DPRK and China with Xie Li."

"Fortunately, it's lunch time..." Shen Ji frowned, seemingly unintentionally, "We just finished chatting, and Xie Li was thinking of sending me out."

Hearing this, Xie Li's temples jumped heavily, secretly thinking something was wrong, and quickly raised his eyes to look at Fang Xu.

Sure enough, he saw his mother's angry eyes.

Fang Xu stared at him with a bad tone, "It's already this hour, why are you still pushing people outside?"

"Mother……"

Before Xie Li could speak, Shen Ji quietly interrupted him.

"Madam, don't blame Xie Li. It's Shen who has an unpleasant temperament. If you come here in the future... you'll find some free time."

Xie Li stared blankly at Shen Ji beside him who was talking nonsense seriously. He took a deep breath and smiled angrily, "You..."

"Xie Li, where are your etiquette?" Fang Xu looked at him, slightly dissatisfied, "Shen Ji is a guest and your colleague. He has helped you a lot, why didn't he even leave a mouthful of food?"

Xie Li's face turned red with anger, and he lost his composure in a rare move. He pointed at Shen Ji with trembling fingertips, unable to refute a word for a long time.

His mother saw him ordering Changfan to drive people away. The evidence was so solid that he could not refute it.

Shen Ji's eyebrows were lowered, and he stood aside helplessly. He said in a gentle voice, "Madam, Xie Li is still young, and it's normal for him not to understand the ways of the world. There is no need to argue with him for me."

Fang Xu secretly glared at Xie Li, looked back at Shen Ji, and laughed softly, "You don't have to listen to him. I'll keep you here today and you can eat in the house. It just so happens that I also want to ask you something."

"In that case... Shen can't shirk it." Shen Ji leaned over and bowed, with a smile on his lips, "Thank you, madam."

"No need to thank you, come with me." Fang Xu only left one sentence and then left sideways.

Shen Ji raised his feet and followed up, with a smile on his face like a spring breeze. His steps were much lighter than when he came, and he didn't forget to look at the flowers and plants around him.

Xie Li looked at his back and was so angry that he had no choice but to punch the air twice.

How can this guy look like a guest?

He clearly regards himself as the master!
