Rebellious officials bow their heads

That kiss in his heart was like a sweet pastry that he had tasted, filled with a soft and sweet alluring aroma, so that he couldn't help being in a trance.

Xu Yan stared at the smile on Xie Linze's face in a daze, and then realized something. He came back to his senses, and turned to look at the guards of the Ji Mansion behind him...

Before he turned his head away completely, the man beside him pulled him forward, not caring if he was seen, "Go back quickly, I have something to show you."

Xu Yan had no choice but to forget about those guards, and followed him to leave the rainy green forest road.

Returning to the Taixuan Hall, entering the clean room of the dormitory, changing into wet clothes, and wiping his hair clean, Xie Linze held a candle and lit up all the lamps in the hall, and the warm orange light illuminated the surroundings.

With his long damp hair hanging down his back, he hooked his fingers towards Xu Yan, motioning him to follow.

The two walked through the corridor full of calligraphy and paintings, Xie Linze pushed open the door of the Book Pavilion and let Xu Yan in first.

I saw night pearls inlaid on the four walls inside, and the shining light emitted by them could not cover the treasures piled up in the house. On the elevated shelves were pastel hexagonal vases, white glazed red chi vases, blue glazed lamps, cloisonné enamel smoked lamps, etc. Furnaces, as well as bronzing and hollow bronze bells from the West, are countless treasures and rare treasures.

The boxes on the ground are full of gorgeous and dazzling jade, like flowing gold grease, scattered all over the ground, and the whole room exudes a hazy luster.

"How is it?" Xie Linze said to the motionless Xu Yan, "There are more treasures than your secret room. These are all yours. Next time, don't say how much money you owe."

Xu Yan looked at the treasure, the bustling light was reflected in his eyes, and he reacted from the initial astonishment, and stretched out his hand to pull Xie Linze in front of him, "Unless you owe me to pay back, don't try to use these things to pay for it." I."

"Are you going to take these treasures?" He asked.

Xu Yan nodded slightly, "I accept the bride price."

Xie Linze couldn't help but rolled his eyes with a smile.

The two of them sat on the ground at the door of the Book Pavilion, looking at the cobblestone-paved corridor, the ink paintings and calligraphy hanging in the corridor, and the gentle breeze blowing in the rain in the drizzle, which was the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers scattered all over the ground.

Xu Yan took two jade cups and a jug of wine, filled them up and handed them to the man beside him.

Xie Linze was leaning against the door of the pavilion like a soft bone, with a crimson fox blanket under his body. Seeing Xu Yan's movement, he didn't raise his hand to catch it, but raised his body slightly, stretched his head over, and bit the rim of the cup with his teeth.

Xu Yan's breath was slightly suffocated, and the hand holding the cup froze.

However, the man raised a pair of watery peach eyes to look at him, raised one eyebrow as if provocative, and had a charming smile that lingered on his lips.

The word for color is the knife for scraping bones.

The blood all over Xu Yan's body was hot, and all his thoughts evaporated. He lowered his head as if bewitched, and leaned closer to the man, feeling the man's breath, wanting to kiss his lips, chin, and the jade-like fat exposed from the neckline. neck.

Just when the distance between the two of them was the slightest, footsteps came from the veranda not far away, and then Ji Han's voice sounded, with unconcealable astonishment: "What are you doing?"

Ji Han didn't find anyone in the main hall, so he came to the back to look for two people. When he saw this scene, the file in his arms fell to the ground.

Compared to his surprise, the two seemed much calmer. Xu Yan maintained his posture and Xie Linze held the wine glass calmly and drank it up.

Ji Han frowned, and the words of pressing questions came to his lips several times, but he changed his mouth, pretending that he didn't see it, and said to Xu Yan: "The matter of Baijumen is complicated. You discuss the staffing."

Xu Yan remained motionless as if he didn't hear, with a gloomy face suppressing his anger, until Xie Linze patted him on the shoulder with a smile, then moved his eyes to look at the man in front of him.

"The big thing is the most important thing." Xie Linze shrugged innocently.

Xu Yan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, got up and walked out.

On the second day of court, Xie Linze walked out from the passage on the left, followed by Xu Yan, who was wearing a flying fish suit and wearing a sword around his waist, under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Many courtiers were silent for a moment, and then whispered, the emperor sat down on the dragon chair, turned a blind eye to this, and started to deal with the affairs of the previous report.

Then Ji Han, who was the leader, cupped his hands and said: "My Majesty, since the first emperor passed away, you have been on the throne for nearly ten years. The country has no queen and no heirs. When I recover from illness, I will marry a daughter of a famous family as my queen, and with the incense of abundant children, I hope that my Dazhao country will continue."

As soon as this remark came out, there was a lot of echoes from the audience, Xuanhe Emperor had passed the year of weak crown, and the issue of heirs became Dazhao's biggest worry now.

As early as when Emperor Zhaode dispersed the Sangong and Six Courtyards, and only favored the Empress Dowager Huijin, there were constant criticisms in the court until Emperor Zhaode suppressed it with strong measures. The future troubles have created today's situation.

Xie Linze didn't look at Xu Yan's expression behind him, and said calmly: "Then according to Ji's chief assistant, there is a candidate for queen?"

Ji Han said: "Old General Mu's granddaughter, Mu Ni, has passed her age. She has been reading poetry since she was a child. She is excellent in all six arts. She is virtuous and virtuous. She is the best candidate for empress."

Xie Linze was silent for a while, with a cold smile on his lips, "We will discuss this matter later."

Someone from the bottom lined up and cupped their hands: "Your Majesty, this is a matter of great urgency for me, and I must not delay it any longer!"

"It is said that His Majesty has no heirs so far, and I am in danger!"

"It's better to make a decision early. How can the harem be without a master? Not only should we marry the queen, but we should also set a date for the selection of beautiful women to enter the palace in front of the household department."

Amidst the uproar, Xie Linze suddenly raised his hand and smashed the inkstone on the table, only to hear a loud "bang".

Everyone fell silent immediately, and the hall suddenly fell into complete silence.

Xie Linze sneered, "Is it I who want to marry the queen or you? Could it be that you can give birth to a child with just one word?"

The courtiers hadn't seen this one losing his temper for so long that they almost forgot the consequences, and were silent for a while.

Xie Linze rubbed his brows, stood up, "I'm here today, let's go."

He walked towards Jinping, leaving behind a group of ministers who looked at each other in blank dismay. Among them, Ji Han watched him leave with a cloudy face.

Walking to a place where no one was around, Xie Linze said to Xu Yan beside him, "Don't worry about what they say."

Xu Yan didn't mean anything serious, nor did he take the courtier's words seriously, and said with a smile: "Well, then you are going to be responsible to me?"

Xie Linze looked at him for a long while, the irritability on his face dissipated, and he raised an eyebrow, "Sixth Young Master, haven't you already accepted the betrothal gift?"

The two were talking, and a cold voice came from behind: "Xie Linze!"

Looking back, Ji Han was still wearing court clothes, his face was frosty: "I think it's time for us to talk."

"It's time to talk." Xie Linze stepped into the side hall.

Ji Han turned his head to look at Xu Yan, with dark eyes, "It's better not to listen to my conversation with him, don't think that you are really an imperial guard when you put on the flying fish suit."

With a calm face, Xu Yan raised his hand, and the sleeve robe slipped off, revealing his slender fingers and the pitch-black Tianshi wrench.

"It's hard to tell if the chief assistant's blood was splashed here." Xie Linze stood in front of the door and turned around, smiling lightly, "Young master Liu, please guard the door for me."

After finishing speaking, Xie Linze stepped into the side hall, sat leaning on the table, poured a glass of wine, and said to Ji Han who came in later: "Did you go to visit old general Mu Qian?"

Ji Han closed the door, stared at him for a long time before saying: "Yes, you are married to the Mu family, married Mu Ni, and the three camps will be used by you in the future, and you will no longer obey Qingci's orders."

Xie Linze looked out, and Xu Yan's silhouette was projected on the door pavilion. He withdrew his gaze, shaking the wine glass between his fingers, "Some things I haven't told you clearly, this time I will tell you clearly, don't repeat it to me in the future , or call attention to this aspect again.”

His voice was faint: "I will not marry a wife, no matter how much benefit she can bring me behind the scenes."

"How could you..." Ji Han's shocking and hasty words were interrupted by the man raising his hand.

"I don't know how to have children either, so don't talk to me about the heirs of the Xie family." Xie Linze said, "I don't care about the so-called royal blood."

Ji Han stood stiffly on the spot, horrified for a while, and murmured: "You're crazy..."

His chest heaved violently, and he suddenly pointed backwards, his face full of unacceptable, "Just for him? For a mere Ji Liu?"

Xie Linze thought for a while, then sighed slightly, "It's not all, I didn't have the idea of ​​marrying a wife and having children a long time ago, and you also know that with my current situation, these things are just futile."

After drinking a glass of wine, he got up and walked out, "I've made it clear enough, don't waste your time on getting married, you have so much effort, why not use it to deal with Qing Ci."

When he passed by Ji Han, the other party suddenly raised his arm and grabbed his wrist, "How can you let the blood of the Xie family be broken in your hands? How can you let the ancestors of the Xie family, including your father, have any face?" ?”

Xie Linze turned his face away, raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes were as cold as glass, "I've had enough of all the torture caused by the blood of the Xie family. As for the ancestors, they have already turned into ashes, so why not?" Can you influence my opinion?"

He broke free, ignored Ji Han's expression, and strode away from the side hall. The moment he opened the door, the bright sunlight poured down, making him squint his eyes.

Turning around to meet Xu Yan's eyes, Xie Linze showed him a frivolous smile: "Sixth Young Master, are you curious about what we said?"
