Although King Jing had plans, he did not immediately ask Xie Yuan to stay, nor did he immediately promise Xie Yuan that Xie Jinran would "return" the position of heir to Xie Yuan instead of "giving the title" to Xie Yuan.

He just looked at the five siblings indifferently for a while, paused for a while, but finally didn't say those harsh words, he just said: "Forget it, it's late today, let's go back first." Another glance at Xie Hanjin And Xie Yuan, "It is necessary to go to the nunnery. This king will find a suitable place for her. If A Yuan can find a good place, he can go as well."

Then he waved his hand, turned around and went back to the study.

Gu Hongzi was already a madman, suddenly he took a drink and staggered, obviously about to fall, Xie Yuan saw it and immediately stepped forward to help him.

Gu Hongzi touched Xie Yuan's head seemingly unintentionally, turned around and staggered away again.

Xie Yuan frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

The five siblings returned to the main courtyard together, Xie Yuan was hugged and rubbed by Jiang Shi.

In the end, when the Jiang family heard that King Jing had agreed to Xie Hanjin's temporary ordination, and that he could choose his own husband after he returned home, his eyes on Xie Hanjin became cold, and after a while, he just pretended not to see him. Xie Han is so ordinary.

Xie Han lowered his head, but he didn't feel sad.

The five siblings talked to Jiang again before leaving.

Because Xie Yuan lived far away, he sent every sister to his yard along the way.

Among the four sisters, Xie Ruojin lived closest to the main courtyard.

Xie Ruojin looked at Xie Hanjin, then at Xie Yuan, although he felt that this life was indeed different from his previous life, Xie Yuan was actually smarter and braver than his previous life, and he had taken on a lot at a young age, but, at least , the key things haven't changed, have they?

Xie Yuan worked so hard for so long, didn't he not change the fact that he had to stay in Chang'an as a hostage?Isn't it still impossible to change her marriage with the eldest sister?

So Xie Ruojin gradually calmed down again, and only waited to persuade Jiang Shi to give her another younger brother. Counting her younger brother's birthday, Jiang Shi should have conceived in recent days. It's up to him.

Xie Ruojin said goodbye to them as usual.

Obviously, Xie Ruojin still stubbornly believed in her past life memory and her past life experience, and refused to look at what she saw in front of her eyes.

Of course, she obviously guessed wrongly about Xie Yuan's intentions.

From the very beginning, Xie Yuan knew that the crown prince passed away, that the sage supported the young grandson, who was in the prime of life and had military power, fiefs and meritorious service, and there were a lot of followers and counselors and all kinds of in-laws Ding Wang and Jing Wang. In the future, he will compete with the grandson for the throne.

Since it is impossible to give up, it is absolutely impossible for King Jing to put his most promising heir in Chang'an City, and let the saint teach him to be a dandy or a follower of the grandson.

King Jing was unwilling to give up his most promising successor, Xie Jinran, so of course he would inevitably leave his son, whom he had never met before, and whose qualifications he did not know, in Chang'an.After all, Xie Jinran grew up under the watchful eye of King Jing, and behind her mother's Ma family, but what about Xie Yuan?Xie Yuan has nothing.

As for Xie Yuan, there were some things that he had been avoiding before, thinking that maybe things would not be as he had guessed, if he seized the throne again, his uncle seized the position of nephew, his father would really want to be another Zhu Di.For this reason, Xie Yuan even thought, if he is willing to give up the position of the eldest son in the future, if he is willing to show his talents on the battlefield alone, protecting Daqing and the people, will he be able to get rid of these power struggles?

However, it is obvious that Xie Yuan has been observing carefully since he came to Chang'an. He is willing to give in, willing to retreat, willing to abandon the glory and wealth of the royal family, and go to the battlefield to fight desperately. However, he is not like that. He couldn't protect those around him.

Including Jiang who is weak and has no opinion, including a few elder sisters who either love him or only look at him with pitiful eyes, including that Shou who wholeheartedly relies on him, and all the servants around him.

Xie Yuan has obviously figured it out, with his current status and current situation, unless Emperor Yuan Shuo can live another 20 years in good health and truly train his grandson Xie Hanying, at that time King Jing and Ding Wang is also around 60 years old, and he may be able to live the stable and ordinary life he wants to live.

Otherwise, no matter whether it is power or status, he will have to fight for it.

After seeing off Xie Ruojin, the siblings were silent, no one spoke until they reached Xie Nian's yard.

Xie Yunping and Xie Han tried their best to light up the lanterns by themselves, and the maids and attendants sent them away.

Xie Nian was as tall as Xie Yuan, and the two were twins, seeing Xie Yuan like this, he stepped forward to tighten Xie Yuan's collar, and said, "What are you thinking?"

Xie Yuan said: "I'm thinking, if I get the crown prince and can sit safely and respect the king's crown prince for 20 years, that would be great."

Although Xie Nian is the same age as Xie Yuan, he is a real child, even if he is precocious, he still can't guess King Jing's plan, the current situation raised his eyebrows slightly.

Xie Yunping and Xie Hanjin both understood.

Although they are women, because Xie Yuan read the imperial court newspaper in the academy when he was studying, he would show them the silent imperial court newspaper when he returned home.After returning to the mansion, I saw the marriage arranged by King Jing for the three sisters. Who else could not guess King Jing's intentions for the three sisters?

And whether it is respecting the king or Ding the king, their thoughts are probably known to everyone except the saints.

Even if he is a saint, he is just deceiving himself and others for the only remaining father-son relationship in his heart.

After sending Xie Nian back, he soon arrived outside Xie Hanjin's courtyard.

During these few steps, Xie Yuan had already thought of a few places for the second sister to go, so he asked Xie Hanjin at this moment: "Second sister, do you want to open a nunnery by yourself, or a nunnery for women and girls? , or go to the largest nunnery outside Chang'an City to get a name, and then choose another mountain to live alone?"

Xie Han was taken aback.

Xie Yuan said again: "Although there are nunneries in the north, but I am the only one in Chang'an, so how about the second sister staying with me? I will find some little nuns with the second sister to take care of the second sister."

Xie Hanjin frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "It's only been two or three years since the end of the war, there are a lot of orphans and widows everywhere, those families whose fathers and brothers died in the battle, and because they have no sons, they have to be taken away by mothers-in-law and sisters-in-law. There are also quite a few young women who are sold away, not to mention those who cannot afford to support their families. I think it is better to build a nunnery alone to house these poor women and girls, if it is legal , Those who have been wronged in their hometown can also come to the nunnery for help, my brother...maybe he can help them clear their grievances?"

Xie Yuan originally said that because he thought that he could find something for Xie Hanjin to do so that he could really devote himself to Buddhism, and he could also gain a good reputation for Xie Hanjin because of some good deeds done by the nunnery. You can get a good marriage seven years later.

But as soon as Xie Hanjin's words came out, it was obvious that he wanted to win Xie Yuan's reputation in turn.

Xie Yuan shook his head, and said: "Good sister, you don't have to worry about me. And... I don't need these reputations now, sister just needs to take care of a small nunnery and live in the house I chose for my sister. On a beautiful mountain, I read and play the piano every day, or listen to the wind and snow, or ride a horse and play the sheng, or if I am bored, I go to see the poor people under the nunnery and help them a little. Earn a good reputation for yourself, and live these seven years happily, that's all."

Xie Han's eyes flickered, but he didn't speak again.

Xie Yuan just took her assent and left.

Xie Yunping is actually the Jiang family's most important child besides Xie Yuan.It's just that Xie Yunping considers herself the eldest daughter, and someone in the family always needs to suppress Mrs. Ma. She just got involved in the housekeeping affairs, and she has to meet many servants. She is busy with work, so she doesn't want to live too close, so as not to disturb her family. The farthest is actually a little closer to the outer courtyard.

After all, Xie Yuan is the younger brother, so it was a last resort to forcibly intervene in the affairs of several elder sisters.Now he looked up at this gentle and generous elder sister of twenty-eight years old, he was a little bit hesitant to talk to this elder sister about her marriage.

On the contrary, Xie Yunping smiled and said, "Brother, do you have something to tell me?"

Xie Yuan rarely blushed, and said: "Sister, I will go to see Prince Anyang's son. He promised to guard his deceased fiancée for three years, but now, there is only one year left. No matter what he does Whether he has changed his mind or not, however, he must try his best to keep what he said, otherwise, when he breaks his promise, other people will think that he is a hypocrite when they look at him, and he is not worthy of trust and value." Moreover, if Xie Yunping is right now If they were married, the prince would probably vent that anger directly on Xie Yunping, the only innocent person in this marriage.

Xie Yunping said: "Wait another year or two, I don't mind. It's just daddy..."

King Jing wanted to marry King Anyang so desperately that he probably didn't want to wait another year.

Xie Yuan smiled: "It's okay, as long as we are willing, I will talk to Prince Anyang and let him contribute to his good reputation of emphasizing love and righteousness, isn't it right?"

Both siblings laughed.

Seeing that it was really late, Xie Yuan was worried that Ah Shou would run out to look for him again, so he discussed a few things with Xie Yunping in a low voice, and finally said: "There is one more thing, sister should talk to Ah Shou these two days. Mother mentioned that she asked her to take a few sisters to meet my cousin and my cousin's concubine. When my position as the eldest son is confirmed, there will be a fixed number of guards around me. At that time, I will send some of them to Look for the third uncle. No matter whether we can find it or not, it is our uncle, and we must look for it. As for the cousin... I mean, it is best that my sister can persuade my mother to take her with her and take care of her all the time The concubine went to Beidi, and the eldest sister and fourth sister took good care of her. After all, on the face of it, the cousin is actually only relatives like us. If we don't care, how can we justify it?"

Xie Yunping wondered: "Cousin? We still have a cousin?" She obviously didn't know about it.

Xie Yuan paused, and said: "That cousin is the posthumous son of the fourth younger brother born by my mother's concubine, and she was also born in a concubine's room. And that fourth uncle died because of spending too much time and ruining his health. At that time, Grandpa, First Uncle, and Second Uncle died together on the battlefield just now, but Third Uncle’s helmet and armor fell off, and he was also missing. He died of drinking too much because he was happy to get the title that Grandpa might get in the future.” Therefore, even if the Jiang family Knowing the existence of that cousin, I don't want to mention it at all.

Xie Yunping understood it, and knew that the Jiang family could dislike that cousin, but he absolutely couldn't pretend that the cousin didn't exist, so he nodded immediately: "This matter should be done. Don't worry, Ah Yuan." After a pause, he looked straight at Said to Xie Yuan, "Xiao Ma's pregnancy has only been two months, although the child was saved because of you, but after all, Xiao Ma's body was injured by several previous births, and I will get married in a year. Er Niang stayed in Chang'an Nunnery, Third Niang... don't mention it, Fourth Niang is still young, and A Niang is confused, so I don't plan to let Xiao Ma go back to the Northland this time, and in the future, Brother will not let her go back."

Xiao Ma is Ma Shi's think tank and confidant, without Xiao Ma Shi, Ma Shi must re-cultivate a confidant and think tank, and it will definitely take a lot of time.

The sisters are taking this opportunity to grow up.

Xie Yuan smiled and said, "That's exactly what I mean."

So the two made up their minds and separated.

The second day, the second year of Yuanshuo, November 29.

Respect King Xie Yuheng brought his eldest son Xie Yuan and second son Xie Jinran to the court, and expressed his heartfelt heart, the gift of a gentleman, and wept bitterly. Finally, the saint asked the sage to return the title of the eldest son Xie Jinran to the eldest son Xie Yuan.

Xie Jinran was only five years old, and she was still a little foolish. She looked sideways at King Jing, and she didn't understand why this statement was different from the original one.

Xie Yuan declined three times, and did not take over the title of Viscount until the fourth time.

The sage took pity on King Jing's son who had been deposed in the mountains of Shu for the past seven years, so in addition to the position of bodyguard and reward that the son should have, he also gave thirty bodyguards, a thousand taels of gold, three hundred acres of fertile land outside Chang'an City, and some cloth and antiques.

After the son of Prince Jing's Mansion returned to Prince Jing's Mansion, the first thing he did was to order twenty guards to escort sisters Jiang and Xie Yunping to Jiang Mansion to pick up his cousin to live in Prince Jing's Mansion.

The second thing is to order the forty guards not to do anything except daily training, and to focus on finding his third uncle who has been missing for five full years.

It's night, in the guest courtyard of King Jing's Mansion, the moon and stars are sparse.

Gu Hongzi drank wine to Yue alone, suddenly laughed, and whispered: "Old friend, you have a good grandson!"
