Neighbors with powerful ministers

Cousin either doesn't fall asleep, or is so scary when he does, which makes Xie Jie really overwhelmed.

What do you mean not allowing him to be with Fang Chaoci?

Do you need the consent of your parents to make friends these days?

Well, Xie Jie's brain circuits are not so dull.He knew the meaning of his cousin in the dream very well, but it was precisely because he understood that Xie Jie was startled awake.

Did he mean that he likes Fang Chaoci?How is this possible?

No, of course he likes Fang Chaoci, but not in the way his cousin thought.Why do these dirty adults only think of such nasty things?Isn't there a little innocent friendship between two men?His cousin also had a best friend back then, who was a companion and a lieutenant general, and he was born and died with his cousin, and finally died together on the battlefield. Is this also a basic love? !

Compared with his cousin and his gay friend, Xie Jie felt that the relationship between him and Fang Chaoci was unbelievably pure, and they just held hands and hugged.

My cousin's friend even kissed my cousin back then.

"!!!"

The amount of information suddenly felt a bit large.Xie Jie sat on the bed in a daze. He was too young at the time, well, his cousin and his cousin's friends were not very old, and they were often kissed and hugged by their family members, so they were not particularly sensitive to such things.

It's just that in a hazy afternoon, in a daze, half asleep, half awake, I vaguely saw my cousin's friend bowed his head and kissed his cousin who was lying on the side.

In Xie Jie's memory at the beginning, the kiss should be on the forehead, but now Xie Jie is suddenly not so sure.

My cousin's Jiyou, surnamed Liang, styled Beiwang, was the son of the famous general Liang Shicheng who defended the two territories bordering on the barbarians.Liang Shicheng is in a red city. Because he has been in the north for many years and holds military power, he took the initiative to send his only son back to the capital to study with the princelings.It is not an exaggeration to say that he let his son be a proton.

At that time, Xie Jie's grandfather Taizong came to the throne again, and Taizong agreed without hesitation.Later, when Xie Jie's uncle Renzong came to the throne, he wanted to return Liang Beiwang so that he would not be reunited with his father and son. Unexpectedly, Liang Shicheng fell ill and died not long after he was there.

Liang Beiwang returned to Beidi to send his father away, and then returned to Yongji again. He was loyal to Xie Jie's cousin Wen Yiyi.

Xie Jie has a good impression of Liang Beiwang, not based on the years when he got along with his cousin as a companion, Liang Beiwang was really too silent at the time, but because Liang Beiwang eventually followed his cousin to die on the battlefield superior.

It is worth mentioning that Liang Beiwang never married.

With such a combination of before and after, Xie Jie always felt that he seemed to have discovered some shocking secret after many years. Could it be that Liang Beiwang likes his cousin?

That's right, his cousin is so good, how could he not be liked by others!

Thinking a little too far, and going back to Xie Jie and Fang Chaoci, Xie Jie felt that Liang Beiwang should be regarded as the wall of gay friends, behaviors that exceeded his past behaviors were gay friendship, and those that did not exceed the boundary were ordinary friends.Well, it must be true. I have to say that Liang Beiwang has really grasped it to the extreme. I didn't expect him to have such honest thick eyebrows and big eyes, and such calculating ability.

Xie Jie, who is deceiving himself, thinks more and more, until he succeeds in self-hypnosis. It is the cousin in the dream who is wrong. He can't even tell that his gay friend likes him, so how can he see other people's love life?

Cousin is so pitiful, even if he dies in battle, it hurts his brain.

Emperor Wen: ...

Logically speaking, when a person makes Xie Jie have an idea to refute even against his will, he should distance himself from that person to keep himself safe.I don't know if distance can produce beauty, but it can definitely produce a sense of alienation, and I will no longer make myself wonder if I am a gay closeness.

But is Xie Jie the kind of ordinary person who will follow common sense?He is not!

Or in other words, from the bottom of his heart, Xie Jie did not agree to separate from Fang Chaoci, so instead of alienating Fang Chaoci, he wanted to get close to Fang Chaoci.

Of course, as far as his own explanation to himself is, he can show that he is not guilty in this way, and he wants to fight poison with fire!

But before fighting poison with poison, Xie Jie must first figure out what happened in the dream.Obviously, from the current point of view, the finalization of the candidate for the crown prince had something to do with the marriage of Wen Tian by the first son of the Nie family.

At present, Xie Jie is more willing to believe that Nie Xiangrong's rival committed suicide, after all, Empress Dowager Nie is now Xie Jie's family.No one will doubt the other party when they really like the other party. They are more trying to prove that the other party has been framed, and there is something hidden in it, and then often... the more they investigate, the more disappointed they become.

Xie Jie's current situation is similar to this, Nie Xiangrong has a lot of competitors to become a mother, but there are very few ladies from famous families who can really reach the same finals as Nie Xiangrong.

Including Nie Xiangrong, there are five in total.

Huanfei's color, each has its own merits, talented, beautiful, and both talented and beautiful, not to mention personality, any of these five women can be said to be the kind that a hundred families seek.Now, except for Empress Dowager Nie who is a widow, the other candidates are all married and have children, living an ordinary but not ordinary life as a family mistress.

However, after Xie Jie's careful investigation and many inquiries, Xie Jie can say with certainty that among the four people, three of them did not know that they had passed the position of Emperor Wen's wife.

The only one who knows is the most individual one, and she doesn't care about the so-called princess, queen, or queen mother. She married her love, and her love happened to love her.She was considered the happiest among them, and she was also one of Xie Jie's sources of news.By the way, the other party married Zhan Huanran's cousin.That's why Xie Jie was able to strike up a conversation with the other party very rough.

According to Mrs. Zhan, the five of them were indeed recruited by the empress to admire flowers in the palace back then, but they were not the only five of them at that time, there were also many ladies of the right age.

Although everyone is secretly guessing whether this is a test from the royal family for the future princess, everyone wants to work hard.But the whole flower viewing banquet was very normal until the end, it was no different from the past, there was no Renzong or Emperor Wen who was still the prince, only the queen mother and them.Gradually, the girls who were still holding back in the dark at the beginning, who were about to compete for beauty, all calmed down.

But Mrs. Zhan is probably a man who has no desires, and has never liked to express herself. Instead, she noticed the difference behind the seemingly peaceful flower viewing feast.

It was Nie Xiangrong who reminded Mrs. Zhan of this point.

But the strange thing is that here, knowing that the people present are all competitors, Nie Xiangrong didn't do anything after finding out the truth, and even secretly reminded Mrs. Zhan, just like her external persona They are all gentle and generous, like a lady who really has no intentions.

Xie Jie thought more, maybe Nie Xiangrong's foreshadowing was just in case of this scene.It is impossible for anyone to do everything perfectly, if it is revealed in the future that she already knew the candidate for the crown princess, she can also use the witness of Mrs. Zhan to prove her innocence.Mrs. Zhan already has her own heart and has no intention of becoming a crown princess. Xie Jie, as an outside man, doesn't know about this kind of thing, but it doesn't mean that a boudoir woman like Nie Xiangrong who often stays in the backyard doesn't know about this.

All the signs are pointing more and more towards Empress Dowager Nie. It seems that she has never been truly harmless for a moment, and she has walked every step of the way.Today's strong side is not so much a mutation as it is her true temperament.

After checking here, Xie Jie really has no way to go deeper.

then……

He decided to go to the palace to confront Empress Dowager Nie just like this.

If you have something to say, just say it, if you have any questions, just ask, guess what, Xie Jie said.

This was also the time when the rumors of the eminent monks on Tianning Wanshou dreaming of Buddha on the same day were rampant, and Empress Dowager Nie was on the cusp.

Xie Jie's act of bringing his "illness" into the palace, in the eyes of those who watched Ouchi's every move, it was naturally impossible for him to be so simple because of an old grievance.Everyone is conspiracy theory, trying to find out the position of Xie Jie, who represents the eldest princess.After all, today's Xie Jie, in everyone's mind, is no longer the idiot of the past, but a famous rebellious ghost. After over-understanding, every step of Xie Jie seems to reveal a deep meaning.

The subsequent development was as everyone expected. Xie Jie left the palace with a heavy expression, and blatantly took away the prince and princess of Qi who had left the palace for the second time, as if he had had a lot of trouble with the queen mother.

Empress Su also closed the palace gate tightly at this time, and everyone was in danger for a while.

When Fang Chaoci heard the news, he immediately rushed back to Xie's house to see Xie Jie.Others don't know what Xie Jie is doing, but Fang Chaoci must know.Xie Jie is not stupid either. Before he went to confront the Queen Mother about an old incident that might have been done by the Queen Mother herself, he naturally wanted to tell others about his whereabouts to avoid any bloody misunderstandings.

On the way back, Fang Chaoci had been thinking about how to comfort Xie Jie. It would be too bad if Empress Dowager Nie had really used Xie Jie back then to push her to the top position with infinite opponents.

After all, for Xie Jie, he has always believed that Gong Dou is a lie, and it is too cruel to face the reality so abruptly.

As soon as he entered the door, the smell of alcohol was overwhelming, and Fang Chaoci's mood sank even further.

Xie Jie was sitting on the seat stupidly, obviously drunk, his cheeks were flushed, his eyes were moist, and when he saw Fang Chaoci enter the door, he started to smile foolishly.Can't tell if I'm in a good mood or not.

Fang Chaoci decided to test it first: "Pu'er?"

"Chaoci~" Xie Jie happily reached out to Fang Chaoci, the intention of hugging was very obvious.

Fang Chaoci stepped forward a few steps, and hugged Xie Chen into his arms, and the other servants in the house had already quietly closed the door and left under Yingniang's leadership.

Xie Jie rubbed against Fang Chaoci vigorously, cheek to cheek and handshake.

Fang Chaoci was distracted for a while, forgetting what he wanted to ask.Xie Jie is both medicine and poison, he can easily make Fang Chaoci forget himself.

Xie Jie dawdled for a while, but he still didn't see Fang Chaoci's movements. He was very angry: "Why don't you kiss me?! You did it last time!"

Fang Chaoci: ...Can this continue from the last time?
