Xie Lun's eyes almost fell out, "Fianced wife? That poisonous woman? I don't believe it." He grabbed Xie Yuan's uninjured arm and shook it desperately, "Brother, really? The woman who cut you , is it really your unmarried daughter-in-law?"

"Xiao Xie." Yu Wenche stopped him, "Da Xie is injured, don't shake him." Then he turned to Xie Yuan with a pleasant face, "I ordered someone to check her details, but I want to hear from you, where did you meet?" to her?"

Xie Yuan's eyes were filled with tears, "I just returned to Beijing last month. I am very grateful to His Majesty Cheng En for returning the Xie family's ancestral house. This old house is very big. I and my younger brother feel that we can buy some servants if we settle down this time." Earlier, there was an old servant guarding the house, who recommended to me the granddaughter of his relatives in the countryside. She said that she had no family and was alone. Laundry and sewing and other work. But she can't do it at all. I observed carefully that she had fair skin and delicate hands. She didn't look like a peasant girl in the country at all, so I became suspicious. I wanted to interrogate the old servant first, but who knew that the old servant Servant died of illness a few days ago. Xie Lun was irritable, and I was afraid that it would be exposed, so I didn't tell him. That day when my younger brother was on duty in the palace, I pretended to order her to mend an old clothes. She pricked her finger, and I asked him . She, she just said..."

"She just said she was Princess Chang'an?" Yu Wenche said.

Xie Yuan nodded, "I didn't believe it at first, but she has a token from the palace." As he spoke, he took out a small gold seal from his sleeve, "This is the seal of the princess. Besides, she also has... her Said that she is the fiancée of the minister, and this marriage was bestowed by Chen Xuan. My father once gave the princess a pair of ancestral wishful rings as tokens. She showed the wishful rings, and the minister saw that it was engraved with the imprint of my Xie family. .”

Yu Wenche said, "So you left her?"

Xie Yuan said, "I think this marriage was arranged by my late father. Although Chen Xuan killed my father, the princess is innocent after all. I looked at her... crying pitifully, and she was injured and limped. After the year is over, I will return to Jingci Temple to become a monk, and I will never ask about world affairs. I can't help but feel soft, so I..."

Xie Yuan's narration is generally consistent with the information Yu Wenche received.Yu Wenche sighed, "Thank you for your good personality, but you are too gentle. Although the situation is understandable, you must be punished if you fail to report it in time."

Xie Lun snapped, "Your Majesty! My brother was bitten back by that poisonous woman and is now injured. If you want to avenge your crime, let me be punished in my brother's place! I will die without complaint!" Xie Yuan said, "What's the matter with you— —”

Yu Wenche laughed, took a look at the tea, and put it back again, "Brother Xie's eagerness is worthy of praise. Thank you, he will be demoted to General Yingyang, and he will be fined for half a year. It's all right, take care of your wounds, and don't think about anything else." Think about it." After finishing speaking, he stood up, "I have been out for a day, and the wind blows my head so badly, I'm going back first."

Xie Yuan said, "Your Majesty!"

"Do you find it too heavy to pay a half-year salary?" Yu Wenche asked with his arms folded.Xie Yuan said, "No, that's not what I mean, my crime..."

"I'm not Chen Xuan, so I won't commit crimes indiscriminately." Yu Wenche stepped forward to help Xie Yuan up, and said to Xie Run, "Take care of your brother carefully, if you need anything, just come to the palace and report to me. ?”

Xie Lun held Xie Yuan by the arm and said loudly, "Obey!"

During the half day that Yu Wenche was out, Chen Wangzhi flipped through the "Book of Songs", yawned four or five times in succession, and fell asleep.

Dong Qier took a plate of walnut cakes and said softly, "Your Highness, are you bored?"

"Sister Qi'er." Chen Wangzhi was overjoyed when he saw the walnut crisps, and immediately regained his energy. "This is my favorite!"

"Then eat more." The maid Xiaolian brought tea again, and Dong Qi'er said, "This time I put too much walnut crispy candy, and my mouth feels greasy after eating. Drink tea to relieve it."

Chen Wangzhi gobbled it up and said vaguely, "I like sweets the most... Sister Qi'er," he pointed to the "Book of Songs", "Is it strange? Archer ordered me to recite "Taoyao" this morning. It’s so long, and it’s so awkward to read. I can’t memorize it even if I think about it for a day. But I just turned a few pages and found that many sentences are very familiar to me. I recited “Taoyao” after reading it twice, and I even wrote it silently. once."

There were several pages of paper on the case table, Dong Qi'er picked it up, and saw that the handwriting was crooked, stroke by stroke, but written very seriously. "It's better than last time." Chen Wangzhi muttered, "It's still not as good as Archer. Archer's handwriting is a hundred times better than mine, so he can be the king, but I can only—"

"Your Highness." Dong Qier covered the corner of Chen Wangzhi's mouth with a handkerchief, and shook his head, "Please speak carefully."

"Ah, I forgot." Chen Wangzhi shook his body, "Archer hasn't come back yet? Today is the seventh day of the lunar new year, and he will start the court tomorrow. I also want to chat with him more and listen to him talk about the history on the grassland. He told me that the grassland is full of white and yellow flowers in spring, like a sea of ​​flowers. Sister Qi’er, have you ever been to the grassland?”

"I haven't been there before." Dong Qi'er raised his eyes and saw that Chen Wangzhi was wearing a newly made round-neck gown, embroidered with phoenix patterns, and the front and chest were covered with pastry crumbs.Then he went forward and flicked it lightly, and said in a low voice, "Does your Highness like this robe?"

Chen Wangzhi didn't like those clothes with wide robes and big sleeves. The round-neck robes with narrow sleeves were close-fitting, which was very convenient. "Of course I like them. I wear those clothes. I take a step and fall. It's so strange that you don't fall while wearing them."

Dong Qier sighed, "If you are used to it, you won't wrestle."

Chen Wangzhi didn't know why she sighed, but Dong Qi'er looked sad, which puzzled him, "Sister Qi'er, why are you upset again? I know I said something wrong, and I will never say it again."

Dong Qi'er forced a smile, "I'm not unhappy, it's just..." She pointed at the phoenix pattern on Chen Wangzhi's robe, and asked in a low voice, "Does your Highness know what this means?"

"What do you mean?" Chen Wangzhi lowered his head, chewing with a small piece of walnut cake in his mouth, "Well, this is a beautiful big bird."

Dong Qier was startled, and said again, "Your Highness, this is Phoenix."

"Phoenix?" Chen Wangzhi blurted out, "Is it the Phoenix of 'Xiao Shao Jiucheng, Phoenix Comes to Yi'?"

Dong Qier said in surprise, "Your Highness, you..."

"What did I just say?" Chen Wangzhi was puzzled, "I, I can't remember, I...but what happened to this Phoenix?"

Dong Qi'er didn't answer the question, but said, "What do you think about Your Majesty?"

"What do you think?" Chen Wangzhi became more and more confused, "Archer treated me well and let me live in the palace. There is a big house here to live in, warm and delicious, and he will accompany me at night."

Dong Qier smiled wryly, "Then Your Highness...do you like Your Majesty?"

"Like it?" Chen Wangzhi shook his head, "I don't know what it means to like and what it means to not like it. I just want to be with Archer and never be apart for a moment."
