After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

Xie Rujin did not dare to delay and immediately took the letter to find his father.

The Grand Tutor had just returned from the government office and was convening his staff to discuss matters.

When she saw him come in, she sent everyone away, looked at the note in his hand and asked, "Does the princess want to see you?"

Xie Rujin was stunned for a moment, then he was filled with admiration for his father.

As he thought about this, admiration appeared in his eyes: "Father, I haven't said anything yet, how do you know everything?"

Xie Rujin's reaction is more effective than any flattery.

Xie Shu leaned back on the armchair and sipped his tea comfortably: "If my father didn't even have this ability, how could he have come this far?"

He stretched out his hand and Xie Rujin handed the post to him.

"Wanmin Building?"

Xie Shu hesitated for a moment and said, "You don't know the origin of this Wanmin Building."

Immediately, he told the story of how Manager Wan was bought by Lu Yiqiang and brought into Princess Chunning's mansion, and how he was rescued by Princess Leyang.

Xie Rujin suddenly realized, "So, the princess held a banquet in Wanmin Building to support Manager Wan?"

"you……"

Xie Shu looked at him, speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

"What, what's wrong?"

Xie Rujin was feeling uneasy, as it seemed that he had said something wrong again.

"That's it!"

Xie Shu shook his head and sighed: "How could I, Xie Shu, give birth to a son like you?"

No political awareness at all.

It turns out that his youngest son is more suitable for traveling.

It's just a beautiful appearance.

Xie Rujin looked at his suddenly disappointed father, not knowing what he had done wrong, and was speechless.

"Rujin, you should get married and have children as soon as possible to make your grandmother feel at ease."

Xie Rujin scratched his head, not understanding why his father suddenly brought up his marriage when he was clearly talking about the princess's banquet.

However, when it comes to getting married, a picture suddenly flashed through his mind.

It was a simple woodshed. The eldest princess stood in the dim light, but she was as proud as a winter plum, shining brightly.

Stop!

He shook his head hurriedly, forcibly expelling her beautiful image from his mind.

She is Yan Changqing's wife, how can I have such random thoughts!

Seeing him like this, Xie Shu asked suspiciously, "Do you have someone you like?"

"no!"

Xie Rujin flatly denied it, grabbed the open enamel teacup on the desk and took a sip.

Unexpectedly, I poured it in too fast and started choking and coughing. It took me a long time to stop.

His face turned red from coughing and he looked very embarrassed.

Judging from his performance, it is obvious that he has.

Xie Shu looked at him and said, "A man should get married when he is old enough. If you like a girl, you can tell me directly. Your father will ask your mother to find out a little. If the girl is not married yet, it can be a good match."

He didn't ask too much of his youngest son.

Xie Rujin does not have to take over the burden of the family. It would be better for him to marry according to his own preferences, marry a wife who is in love with him, and live happily together.

Unexpectedly, his good intentions only made Xie Ruijin feel frightened.

No no no no, impossible!

Yan Changqing was the hero he admired, so how could he covet his wife?

Even thinking about this thought is a sin.

Xie Rujin knew that he couldn't hide it from his father, so he calmed down and said respectfully: "Father, it's just a lady that my son met on the road, and now she has disappeared."

"Why is he missing?"

Xie Shu thought it was a good thing.

The youngest son's marriage has been delayed for so long. As long as he has a sweetheart, even if she is a commoner, the Xie family can support her.

So he started to get to the bottom of it: "Where is she from? What's her last name? Please tell me in detail. You can't be in love with someone and not even know these things, right?"

Xie Shu felt that although his son had no political acumen, he was not a rash person in other aspects.

Seeing that he couldn't get away with it, Xie Rujin had to make up his mind: "My son only found out later that she was a married woman."

"you!"

Xie Shu was so angry that he fell backwards. He slammed the table, stood up, and pointed at him, not knowing what to say.

It's so heartbreaking to see how such a well-behaved son could have done such a thing!

Seeing that his father was angry, Xie Rujin hurried forward and helped Xie Shu sit back on the chair: "Don't worry, father, I will have no contact with her anymore, and I will never do anything to bring shame to the family."

He said this while feeling guilty.

What do you mean no contact anymore? He just received the invitation and was about to attend the banquet.

Xie Shu stared at him for a moment before saying, "Forget it, as long as you don't cause any trouble, your marriage is up to you."

His eyes fell on the gorgeous and exquisite post on the desk, and he spoke slowly.

"That day, you escorted the princess back to the capital. Many people saw it. It's no secret."

Hearing Xie Shu finally talking about business, Xie Rujin breathed a sigh of relief and listened attentively.

"There are many ways for the princess to express her gratitude. But she chose Wanmin Building to let everyone know that she is on good terms with the Xie family. This is the signal she actively sent out."

Knowing that his son didn't have this awareness, Xie Shu simply broke it apart and told him.

"I didn't want to involve you in this mess in Beijing, but I didn't expect a chance to happen."

Xie Shu sighed: "But it's okay, our Xie family and the imperial power are one, you just go to the banquet openly. If the princess makes any requests at the banquet, you just don't give any confirmation."

He controlled the court and prevented the imperial power from becoming too powerful.

But the imperial power was too weak, which was not good for him.

It will only foster the ambitions of others.

The first family Xie Shu suspected was the Cui family.

Although it was unbelievable that the Cui family destroyed the Great Wall, didn't Xie Shu know that? It was not surprising that the aristocratic families would do anything for the sake of profit.

What's more, the people he sent out have already found some clues.

The Cui family is now being too law-abiding and abnormal, which is related to the fact that they lost a group of people.

This group of people were most likely the ones who were ordered to assassinate the eldest princess.

Xie Rujin didn't quite understand what he heard.

But he had one good thing: he knew what he was not good at and just did what his father told him to do.

Xie Shu’s guess was correct. Qin Yaoguang’s actions indeed alarmed the entire powerful circle in the capital.

First, in the Plum Garden Incident, Empress Xie stood up for the two princesses, and then Xie Rujin escorted the eldest princess back to Beijing.

Now, the princess held a thank-you banquet at the busiest restaurant in the West City. Was she publicly allying with the Xie family? Or was she doing something else?

When did the relationship between the royal family and the Xie family become so good?

People speculated a lot.

At this moment, a middle-aged man over 40 years old, wearing a gauze scarf on his head and with a beautiful beard under his chin, entered the Cui family of Ningguo Mansion.

He has gentle features and a bamboo-like figure. One can imagine how handsome he was when he was young.

Seeing him coming, the servants hurriedly came forward and said, "My nephew, please come in quickly. The Duke is waiting for you in the study."

Cui Yongwei nodded slightly, looking very elegant.

As the Minister of Taifu Temple, he was in charge of the national treasury's income and expenditure of grain and currency, and was also an important figure in the Cui family.
