The daily life of the eldest son
Chapter 46
After leaving the Tang Mansion that day, Ye Yi went straight back to the Zhuang Mansion. Before dismounting from his horse, he saw Fu Ren standing at the door. Although his expression was as calm as ever, Ye Yi could see worry in Fu Ren's eyes.
After getting off his horse, Ye Yi walked up to Fu Ren as if nothing had happened.
"Anything for me?"
"I've heard about the Tang Mansion."
Except for giving Lin Yuer a chronic poison, Ye Yi never gave Fu Ren any tasks. Although he also didn't give Fu Ying any orders, Fu Ying was following Lan Ruo to learn how to manage the affairs of Ye Yi's mansion.Fu Ren could have trained the guards, but the guards in the Zhuang Mansion were Bai Zi except him, and Ye Yi did not recruit anyone else.
In this way, Fu Ren really had nothing to do, and he was embarrassed to live and eat in the Zhuang Mansion for nothing, so Fu Ren began to collect information everywhere. Whether it was useful or useless, Fu Ren had to go out every day, Then bring back some of the big and small things that happened in Chang'an City.Today, when I went out for a walk, Fu Ren not only heard the rumors that Ye Yi and Wang Yuqing's golden boy and jade girl were a match made in heaven, but also heard about the affairs in the Tang Mansion. Because he paid special attention to the Tang Mansion, Fu Ren also went to the Tang Mansion. Fu Ren was taken aback by the news he got after spending a few copper coins.
Back at the Zhuang Mansion, Fu Ren felt restless. On the one hand, he was shocked by the news he heard, and on the other hand, he was also worried for Ye Yi.A tough person like Taiwei Tang, knowing this, how could he let Ye Yi go?
Left and right couldn't sit still, so Fu Ren ran to the door and waited.
Ye Yi laughed as soon as he heard this, and said: "Sure enough, he is someone who stayed by His Majesty's side. Even I only heard about it after I went to the Tang Mansion, but you have already found out."
"The incident happened just now, and the people in the Tang Mansion were terrified, and their moods were just unstable, and they could be asked with a little coaxing." If it took a while, it might not be so easy to ask.
"It's a coincidence for you." Ye Yi laughed lightly and walked into the house.
Fu Ren turned and followed, puzzled by Ye Yi's unexpected calmness: "What's your plan, sir?"
Ye Yi paused, turned his head to look at Fu Ren, and asked with a smile: "If I rob people with Tang Taiwei, do you think I can win?"
Fu Ren was dumbfounded.
Knowing that Fu Ren would show such an expression, Ye Yi curled his lips and continued walking.
"Young Master," Fu Ren came back to his senses, followed Ye Yi's footsteps, and said firmly, "As long as the young master orders, I can do anything for the young master."
Ye Yi glanced at Fu Ren, and said leisurely: "Don't worry, I won't let you sneak into the Tang Mansion to steal people."
Hearing Ye Yi's words, Fu Ren heaved a sigh of relief.
Although he can do anything, he is still afraid if he is really asked to fight against the entire Tang Mansion alone. After all, there is not only a Tang Taiwei in the Tang Mansion today, but also a General of the Sixteenth Guards, two A general of Zhen Guo and a rookie military general who just entered the Habayashi Guard, not to mention that most of the guards in the Tang Mansion are soldiers who cannot join the army due to injuries or have nowhere to go after finishing their service. If he really dared to sneak in, he probably couldn't. Get out of the way.
"Then what will the young master do?" Fu Ren really couldn't think of any way to fight against Tang Taiwei.
"No hurry." Approaching the backyard of the Zhuang Mansion, Ye Yi was thrown into his arms by Xuan Feng, trampling Xuan Feng's head, Ye Yi said with a smile, "Xuan Feng grows really fast, and his kung fu grows stronger in just a few days." A little bit."
Fu Ren was silent.I feed it with delicious food and drink every day, and I have specially invited someone to train and take care of it. Can it not grow well?
Ye Yi patted Xuanfeng's head, and said, "Go find Tang Xiao, and come back with him, you know?"
Xuanfeng rubbed his head against Ye Yi's body.
"Go quickly." Taking a step back and letting go of Xuanfeng, Ye Yi looked at Xuanfeng with a smile.
Xuanfeng licked his lips, looked at Ye Yi, then turned around and ran out of Zhuang Mansion.
Fu Ren watched Xuanfeng run out of sight, and always felt that Xuanfeng, who was beginning to understand people's words, was very evil.
At night, Ye Yi was sitting in the yard in a daze, when suddenly a figure fell from the sky.
"Brother Yi!" Tang Yun managed to sneak out of the house, and hurried to look for Ye Yi as soon as he got away.
"Sit down." With the flagon in his hand back to the opposite side, Ye Yi motioned Tang Yun to sit down, "Is there a mess in the house?"
Tang Yun lifted the hem of his clothes and sat down, holding the flagon in his hand, but he didn't pick it up to take a sip.
"Fortunately, grandpa closed Xiao, so there will be no chaos."
Hearing this, Ye Yi chuckled softly: "I was locked up and imprisoned some time ago, and now it's him again. Didn't lose my temper?"
"I just thought it was strange," Tang Yun was worried, "I thought he would come out after he woke up, but he turned out to be surprisingly quiet. I took a look at him, and he seemed to be in a good mood. Xuanfeng has gone Afterwards, he played with Xuanfeng even more happily. That kid...couldn't be stupid?"
Ye Yi laughed: "It's fine if he's stupid, maybe he's stupid, and your grandfather doesn't want him anymore, just give him to me."
"Brother Yi, you are still in the mood to joke..." Tang Yun twitched the corners of his mouth, "I was scared to death! Ah Ce and Yan'er are also worried..."
"They don't blame me." Ye Yi sighed.
Tang Yun immediately said: "Ace said that he has many older brothers, so he gave one to Brother Yi, and he has three older brothers, but if he wants to go back to Xiao with Brother Yi, he may only have one older brother left. "
Ye Yi lowered his eyes.Maybe it will really become like that, because that is also helpless.
Seeing Ye Yi's silence, Tang Yun scratched his head, and comforted him: "Brother Yi, don't worry too much, I will find a way to talk to my grandfather or my mother, and I will also talk to Xiao, let him be soft, and talk to him well. Let's talk at home. As Ah Ce said, our family has many grandchildren, and there is no shortage of one."
"I'm sorry," Ye Yi smiled at Tang Yun, "Tell Ah Xiao that I may not visit him recently, because... I have something to do."
"Is there anything I can do to help?" Tang Yun sincerely hoped that this matter could be resolved before he went to the Western Regions to take up his post, otherwise he would not feel at ease even if he left Chang'an.
Ye Yi thought for a while, and said: "Help me take care of A Xiao during this time, he probably won't be able to bear it for long with his temper."
Tang Yun nodded with a smile, and said, "I know, you don't have to worry about our family's situation, Brother Yi, I'll take care of it. Don't force yourself too much, Brother Yi."
"Well, thank you."
Tang Yun didn't dare to stay in the Zhuang Mansion. The matter was almost explained, so he hurried back to the Tang Mansion. Tang Ce and Tang Yan helped to cover it up. No one in the Tang family noticed that Tang Yun had slipped away.But before Tang Yun could tell Tang Xiao what Ye Yi said, he was called away by his father Tang Shichang.
Early in the morning of the second day, Ye Yi got up refreshed, tidied up quickly, and ate the breakfast prepared by Lan Ruo and Fu Ying, and then rode a horse and leisurely went to the East Palace.
When Ye Yi arrived at the Mingde Hall of the East Palace, it happened to be the time for the crown prince to return to the East Palace for the court meeting. Ye Yi naturally joined the ranks of the officials of the East Palace and sat next to the crown prince.
When the crown prince stepped into the Mingde Hall, he saw Ye Yi sitting there, paused for a moment, and then continued to move forward until he reached the seat, turned around and sat down.
After Ye Yi paid homage to the prince with the officials of the East Palace, he sat back down again.
The prince looked at Ye Yi who was bowing his head and said nothing, and asked: "Young Fu entered the palace, but what went wrong with Tang Taiwei's birthday banquet preparations?"
Ye Yi turned to the prince, and said: "Your Highness, the six boats on the Qujiang River are about to be completed and have entered the final stage of decoration. I would like to ask Your Highness, do you need to make some special arrangements on the boats?"
Of course, both the crown prince and Ye Yi knew that they would talk about Tang Taiwei's birthday banquet, but it was just to give Ye Yi a proper reason to return to the East Palace, otherwise Ye Yi, who had been absent for many days, would suddenly come back, It's inappropriate to say nothing, even though Ye Yi's absence was decided by the crown prince.
The prince pondered for a moment before replying: "I will discuss this matter with my father and younger brothers before I discuss it."
"Yes." Ye Yi sat up straight again.
Next, the court meeting in the East Palace proceeded normally, and no one asked why Tang Xiao was absent.
At the end of the court meeting, the prince called Ye Yi up, and they went to the Cheng'en Hall in the inner palace together.
Entering the study room of Cheng'en Hall, the crown prince waved away the redundant people in the study room, and then asked Ye Yi, "This morning, Tang Taiwei reported sick leave to the Shaobao, do you know?"
"I know." Are you sick?It really looks like something Tang Taiwei would do.
The prince sat down behind the desk, frowned and said, "In addition, Taiwei Tang strongly recommended you to replace Tang Yun as the guardian of the Western Regions. What's going on?"
Ye Yi was not surprised by this at all, or it was completely expected.
Ye Yi smiled apologetically at the prince: "I have done some rebellious things in the past few days, which made Tang Taiwei unhappy. This is to ask me to go to the Western Regions to reflect on my past and cause trouble to His Highness. I deserve death."
The crown prince looked at Ye Yi suspiciously, and said: "Tang Taiwei has always liked to punish his family members through transfers. As far as I know, Shaobao was often demoted by Tang Taiwei before he came to the East Palace. Because it does not affect the overall situation, father The emperor also knows Tang Taiwei's character very well, so he didn't stop him, but how did you annoy Tang Taiwei to such an extent? As smart as you, don't you know how to calm Tang Taiwei's anger?"
Ye Yi said with a smile: "I know the method to appease Tang Taiwei, but I don't want to back down on this matter."
"What happened?" If Tang Taiwei continued to entangle with his father and really sent Ayi to the Western Regions, his East Palace would lose a general.
Ye Yi looked at the prince, and said frankly: "Does Your Highness know about the mutual agreement between the minister and the Shaobao Tang Xiao?"
The prince stared in surprise, but after thinking about it, he was not so surprised again.
"I don't know about it, but you said it, and I won't be too surprised. The two of you are indeed too close." After speaking, the prince suddenly thought why Tang Taiwei was so angry, "Your matter Taiwei Tang found out?"
Ye Yi smiled wryly and nodded.
The crown prince frowned and asked, "Aren't you planning to delay the attack?"
Ye Yi shook his head resolutely, and said: "I don't intend to. I know that this matter is no small matter. If His Highness thinks it's inappropriate, I can leave the East Palace."
The crown prince stared at Ye Yi, saw that Ye Yi was serious, he showed a faint smile, and said: "Don't say that, I have been waiting for you for so long, and I finally hoped for you to come to the East Palace. Let you go easily? Wouldn't that be in line with your desire to be at ease?"
Ye Yi laughed and said: "His Royal Highness sees this subject so thoroughly that I can't even be lazy and play tricks."
The prince smiled and said: "This is just right, you will be in the East Palace and serve the Palace with all your heart."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your appreciation." Ye Yi cupped his hands and bowed.
The prince suppressed his smile again, and said seriously: "The Tang family... must have some stains."
Hearing this, Ye Yi was stunned, and then suddenly realized.
The Tang family joined the army for three generations.
The first generation of Tang Taiwei is now the heart of the army, commanding the three armies without even the emperor's order. If he hadn't grown old and only wandered on the edge of the court, he would have become a thorn in the emperor's eyes long ago.
The second generation of Tang Shichang was the general of the Sixteenth Guards, and he failed to continue to be promoted because the Tang family had a Tang Taiwei. It is the army guarding the palace, and the safety of the palace is in Tang Shichang's hands.Tang Shichang's younger brother, Tang Shiping, is a military weapons supervisor, and his official rank is not high, but he is in charge of the manufacturing of weapons for the three armed forces, and he also holds an important position.
Besides, the third generation of the Tang family, brothers Tang Yun and Tang Xiao, who were only nineteen years old, were entrusted with the title of general of the auxiliary country because of various encounters, meritorious deeds and the protection of the previous two generations. One will go to the Western Regions to sit in town, and the other will take over In order to protect the safety of the crown prince, even Tang Ce joined the Habayashi Guard. It is not known where it will be in a few years.
The various positions in the Tang family are high and powerful, and under the discipline of Tang Taiwei, the family style is very strict. The whole family is a person of good character, so whether it is among the people or in the court, they all enjoy a high reputation and are loved by others.
Such a careful calculation, Ye Yi was shocked.
Perhaps the emperor trusted the Tang Taiwei, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with the Tang family's power, but since the crown prince said today that "the Tang family should have a stain", it shows that the crown prince is afraid of the Tang family. If the fourth generation of the Tang family Still so beautiful, I'm afraid something bad will happen.
But... Do you want to turn Tang Xiao into that stain of the Tang family for such a reason?Ye Yi couldn't do it, even if he just imagined it, he couldn't see Tang Xiao being pointed at and gossiped about.
Ye Yi thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt that perhaps Tang Taiwei was also conscious of this, and that's why he frequently "abuses his power" in the name of punishing his grandson these years.
In any case, Ye Yi wanted to oppose Tang Taiwei for the time being, so after hearing what the crown prince said, Ye Yi pressed it into his heart.
Even if he had a way, he wouldn't tell Taiwei Tang at this time.
Seeing Ye Yi's silence, the prince thought that Ye Yi was worried that he would harm the Tang family. After all, the relationship between Ye Yi and the Tang family was comparable to that of relatives.
"Don't worry, I know that the whole Tang family is loyal. I just want to use your mouth to remind the Tang family. I won't say too much about your private affairs, but if you delay If you mess up the matter of this palace, this palace will not forgive you."
"Please rest assured, Your Highness."
The showdown between Ye Yi and the prince went well here, but it was not so smooth for Tang Xiao over there.
Suddenly being imprisoned and unable to meet Ye Yi as he wished, Tang Xiao was already in a bad mood, the reason why he didn't show it was because he didn't want to look flustered, as if he really didn't trust Ye Yi and was always afraid of being abandoned.
When Xuanfeng came, Tang Xiao finally felt better.After a period of training, in addition to being able to assist in fights, Xuanfeng also completely remembered the smell of Tang Xiao and Ye Yi, and learned the skill of sending messages, just like it can smell Tang Xiao's smell from the Zhuang Mansion alone As long as it comes to the Tang Mansion, as long as the note is wrapped and hung around its neck, it can also leave the Tang Mansion again, smelling Ye Yi's scent to find Ye Yi's location.
Of course, so far Xuanfeng can only go back and forth between Ye Yi and Tang Xiao, if there is a third person, Xuanfeng will not know who to go to.
On the day and night when Xuanfeng came, Tang Yun came to deliver a message for Ye Yi again. Although Tang Xiao had no way of judging Ye Yi's actions, he still felt relieved.
But after waking up from sleep, Tang Xiao's good mood was completely ruined.
Gu Xiyue smiled and stood three steps away from Tang Xiao, the maidservant behind her was still holding Tang Xiao's breakfast.
"Second Young Master, Ma'am wants me to bring you breakfast. Do Second Young Master want to eat now?"
Tang Xiao didn't even look at Gu Xiyue, but only looked at Xuanfeng lying on his lap, it seemed that it was more important for Xuanfeng to be smooth than breakfast.
"Leave it alone, the maidservants in the Tang Mansion know where my room is, so there is no need for a girl to send it to me." She still smiled so maliciously, just looking at it affected her mood.
"This..." Gu Xiyue looked embarrassed, "Although Xiyue doesn't know what happened, the second son must cherish his body. Presumably the wife is also worried about the second son, so she let Xiyue come."
Hearing Gu Xiyue's words, the veins on Tang Xiao's forehead jumped happily.
Who doesn't cherish their body?He is not stupid enough to trample on his own body, and do that kind of resistance that only a woman would do, so what face does he have to see brother Yi again?He just didn't want to see this woman!
"Second son..."
Seeing that Tang Xiao was ignoring her, Gu Xiyue took a step forward, but before the raised foot touched the ground, Xuanfeng, who had been obediently lying on Tang Xiao's lap, suddenly raised his head and looked at Gu Xiyue warily. , grinning and whimpering.
Gu Xiyue was so frightened that she immediately took back her steps, and even took two steps back.
Tang Xiao patted Xuanfeng's head approvingly.
When he gave Xuanfeng to Brother Yi, he just wanted to add a plaything to Brother Yi. If Brother Yi hadn't insisted on training, he would have kept Xuanfeng as a pet at most. Now it seems that Brother Yi really has the foresight Except for him and Brother Yi, Xuanfeng can barely accept Tang Yun and Bai Zi approaching, and the rest of them will grin their teeth when they get closer. Of course, Xuanfeng will not bite without the order of him and Brother Yi, but whoever If you are threatened by a leopard, you will feel scared, so since Xuanfeng came into being, there are a lot fewer people who can lean on you, which is really good.
"Sister Xiyue, what are you doing here?" Tang Yan also came here because she was worried about Tang Xiao, but when she entered, she saw Gu Xiyue first.
"Sister Yan," Gu Xiyue turned around, looked at Tang Yan with a smile, and said, "Madam ordered me to bring some food to Second Young Master, but..."
As she said that, Gu Xiyue gave Tang Xiao a sneaky glance, as if to imply that Tang Xiao didn't welcome her.
Tang Yan stretched her neck to look at Tang Xiao, then said to Gu Xiyue: "Sister Xiyue, go back and rest, I'm here."
Her second elder brother always looked unhappy towards everyone. So far, Tang Yan has only had Tang Xiao's effect in front of Ye Yi, but in front of Tang Yun, Tang Xiao is mostly furious. As for other times, he is willing to return. In a word, Tang Xiao is polite.When Gu Xiyue came here at this time, she would definitely face all kinds of embarrassments, and Tang Xiao couldn't even be expected to be polite.
"But Madam ordered..." Gu Xiyue wanted to say something to stay and strengthen her relationship with Tang Xiao, but she was stopped by the careless Tang Yan before she finished speaking.
"Sister Xiyue, let's go back. If my aunt blames me, I'll go and talk about it." After speaking, Tang Yan smiled at Gu Xiyue, then pushed Gu Xiyue out the door, said goodbye to Gu Xiyue, and put The door of Tang Xiao's room was closed.
Turning around and returning to the bed, Tang Yan squatted down and looked at Xuanfeng.
Xuanfeng first looked at Tang Yan warily, seeing that Tang Yan just stared at it and didn't do anything, Xuanfeng licked his lips boredly, turned his head and continued to enjoy Tang Xiao's touch.
"How did it turn around?" Tang Yan, who was ignored, complained to Tang Xiao dissatisfied.
Tang Xiao turned a deaf ear to Tang Yan's complaints and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Yan stared at Tang Xiao with wide eyes: "What are you doing? Of course I came here because I was worried about my second brother's situation. Do you want to eat?"
Tang Xiao looked at the food on the table in a blink of an eye, then nodded, got out of bed and sat down at the table, while filling his stomach, he distributed his food to Xuanfeng.
Seeing this scene, Tang Yan frowned, and asked, "What does Xuanfeng usually eat? I'll go and tell the kitchen to prepare some food for Xuanfeng."
"Okay." Tang Xiao thought for a while, and told Tang Yan what Xuanfeng usually ate, which made Tang Yan's eyes widen.
"My God! Brother Yi is really rich, people are reluctant to eat those things, and he bought them to feed leopards! I also want to be raised by Brother Yi..."
Tang Xiao glared at Tang Yan.
Tang Yan's eyes suddenly brightened, and she suggested to Tang Xiao with great interest: "How about this, I marry Brother Yi, and the second brother and Brother Yi secretly spend time together, so everyone will be happy!"
Tang Xiao couldn't help but slap Tang Yan on the head: "What are you thinking about all day long?"
Are you happy?Who is happy?
"Why did you hit me?" Tang Yan covered her head with an aggrieved face, "Is my proposal not good? In that case, I can be raised by Brother Yi, and I can have delicious food every day, and my second brother can also be with Brother Yi." How nice to be together."
Tang Xiao rolled his eyes.Who raised this girl so much that she only knows how to eat?
"Any news about Brother Yi?"
Tang Yan curled her lips and said, "Second Brother, you only heard the news from Eldest Brother last night. It was just dawn, and Eldest Brother was also trapped by his grandfather these days and was not allowed to enter the palace. Even if Third Brother can see Brother Yi and send a message , I can only come back at night. Besides, it’s only a day, so what can I say..."
Tang Xiao gave Tang Yan a blank look, and said nothing more.
It doesn't matter what he says, he just wants to hear something related to Brother Yi, he just wants to know if Brother Yi who is outside has been made things difficult... It really doesn't suit him to just sit here and wait.
Keenly aware of the impatience in Tang Xiao's expression, Tang Yan reminded vigilantly: "Second brother, don't mess around. Since Brother Yi wants you to wait, it's better for you to wait here. Look, grandfather I was still holding my breath when I got up, if you add fuel to the fire, brother Yi will be unlucky."
Taking a glance at Tang Yan, Tang Xiao said, "It's really rare that you said something useful."
Tang Yan stared, looked at Tang Xiao in disbelief, and said after a while: "Second brother, you and eldest brother are indeed twins, why do you have such a bad mouth?"
Tang Xiao gave Tang Yan another look.He and Tang Yun have been twins for nearly 20 years, so what's the truth now?
Curling her lips, Tang Yan stood up and said, "I'm not here to suffer, I'm going to visit my grandfather."
"Well, ask something useful and come back."
Tang Yan rolled her eyes to the sky, and hurriedly went out.
As soon as Tang Yan could not leave, Mrs. Tang came.
Tang Xiao's face immediately darkened again.
Will everyone in the Tang Manor come to visit him later?so annoying...
"A Xiao, I heard from Xiyue..." Mrs. Tang glanced at the table, and unexpectedly found that all the food had been eaten. Looking at where Tang Xiao was sitting, Mrs. Tang swallowed back what she was about to say.
Tang Xiao glanced at Mrs. Tang's face, and said in a deep voice, "How could it be possible to go on a hunger strike? I just saw that woman in a bad mood."
"You child!" Mrs. Tang glared at Tang Xiao, then sat down next to her, "Why is Xiyue so annoying?"
Tang Xiao replied confidently, "From head to toe."
Mrs. Tang couldn't help but slap Tang Xiao on the head: "Who are you not bothered by looking at? Brother Yi is not bothered!"
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Tang regretted it.
At this moment, why did he mention Ye Yi?
Seeing Mrs. Tang's expression of saying something wrong, Tang Xiao thought it was funny.
It's not that if they don't mention it, he will forget Brother Yi, and it's not that if they don't mention it, Ye Yi will cease to exist. What are they worried about?
"There are a lot of people who I don't find annoying, but those who have ulterior motives are annoying."
"How can Xiyue have ulterior motives?" Mrs. Tang glared at Tang Xiao, "Isn't it because I care about you when I come to deliver you a meal today?"
"Caring about me?" Tang Xiao sneered, "Is she familiar with me? Why should she care about me? She would come all the way from Jingzhou to Chang'an because she heard that she could marry into the Tang family?"
"If you want to marry into the Tang family, do you have ulterior motives?" Mrs. Tang looked at Tang Xiao amusedly, thinking that Tang Xiao was really a child.
"Isn't it?" Tang Xiao felt displeased when he saw Mrs. Tang's expression, "She doesn't know anyone in the Tang family at all, does she? It's not because of the power of the Tang family. Could it be because of the power of the Tang family? We brothers came to Chang'an all the way after we fell in love? We haven't even met once, who would believe that we are in love with each other?"
What Tang Xiao said was right, it actually left Mrs. Tang speechless for a moment.
Sighing, Mrs. Tang said again: "Marriage matters, parents' orders, matchmaker's words, how can you blame her? Isn't this why she came here after the two families had discussed it?"
"Who made the decision? Who made the decision with whom? Who made the decision to marry, why give it to our brother?" Tang Xiao stared at Mrs. Tang, speaking rudely.
"What's your attitude when you talk to mother!" Mrs. Tang slapped Tang Xiao dissatisfiedly, but she knew her son's temper well, so she wasn't angry at all.
Tang Xiao rubbed his head, and kept pressing Xuanfeng's head with his other hand to comfort Xuanfeng.
Seeing that Tang Xiao had been pressing Xuanfeng to prevent her from being accidentally injured, Mrs. Tang softened again, and said: "In the end, this matter is not all up to you? It's better if you get in touch with Xiyue more. You still have time."
"It's too late." Knowing what Madam Tang was talking about, Tang Xiao replied without hesitation.
"Why is it too late?" Mrs. Tang persuaded, "You have been with Ayi since you were a child, and you confuse your admiration for your brother with your love. As long as you get in touch with Xiyue more, you will understand Your feelings for Ayi are not called love."
"Why?" Tang Xiao asked immediately.
"What are you asking?" Mrs. Tang was taken aback by the question, and looked at Tang Xiao blankly.
Tang Xiao said in a deep voice: "Why does mother think that as long as I have more contact with Gu Xiyue, I can understand that my feelings for Brother Yi are not love? Because Gu Xiyue is a woman and Brother Yi is a man? The feeling of love is confused with the feeling of love, so why didn't I fall in love with Tang Yun and Tang Ce, but why did I fall in love with Brother Yi?"
Mrs. Tang was startled when she heard that, and reprimanded Tang Xiao, "Don't talk nonsense! If you really set your sights on Ah Yun or Ah Ce, let's see if your grandfather doesn't break your leg!"
Tang Xiao rolled his eyes, feeling that Mrs. Tang's focus was wrong.
"Mother, don't need to talk," Tang Xiao said in a deep voice, too lazy to argue, "I can tell my feelings clearly, and I know what I'm doing. If Mother is not afraid of delaying Gu Xiyue's lifelong event, then let her Push to my side, left and right, I will not fall in love with her, and I will definitely not marry her. Mother, don't expect me to give her a good face. "
Mrs. Tang sighed, and said: "You child, I don't know who you are so stubborn. Anyway, when the time comes, you will wake up, and now you can't listen to persuasion. You can do it yourself."
After speaking, Mrs. Tang got up and left the room.
She really didn't want to admit that her son fell in love with a man. If she had known that this day would happen, she would never have made her sons so close to Ye Yi.
After sending Madam Tang away, Tang Xiao lay down on the bed bored.
Although Mrs. Tang said that he would wake up, Tang Xiao didn't think that he had been obsessed with obsession for several years, and there was no possibility of him realizing it now.Tang Xiao always felt that it was not wrong for him to fall in love with Ye Yi, so he was always confident. The only thing he was afraid of was losing Ye Yi.Tang Xiao also understood that not everyone could understand them and support them, but Tang Xiao didn't expect things to become so troublesome.
When Ye Yi came yesterday and saw the situation, he entered the study without hesitation. Tang Xiao didn't know what Ye Yi had said to Tang Taiwei. From now on, recalling Ye Yi's relieved expression when he walked out of the study, Tang Xiao felt that maybe When he accepted him, Ye Yi had already anticipated the current situation, and Tang Xiao then figured out why Ye Yi still kept a brotherly distance from him in front of outsiders, and then Tang Xiao understood why Tang Yun said Ye Yichong he.
It's not a question of right or wrong, as long as two people can be together well, so what if they want to keep it a secret?It's a pity that Tang Xiao didn't know how troublesome it was to be upright until now.However, Ye Yi never complained to him.
In fact, Tang Xiao occasionally felt strong dissatisfaction with Ye Yi, because even if Ye Yi had anticipated certain situations, he would never explain it to him. Ye Yi always made plans and worked hard by himself However, Tang Xiao could only understand Ye Yi's actions after the fact.
Being pampered by Ye Yi, Tang Xiao would feel happy, but he also hoped that he could face the difficulties that belonged to the two of them together with Ye Yi, instead of always having Ye Yi bear it alone because of his lack of foresight.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was really useless. Tang Xiao stood up and got out of bed, and asked the guards guarding the door to inform Tang Taiwei that he wanted to sit down and have a good talk with his grandfather.
Although Tang Xiao was bound by shackles, even if he was bound, he was still the second son of the Tang family, so the guard immediately went to inform Tang Taiwei after receiving the order.
Tang Taiwei originally didn't want to pay attention to Tang Xiao, because he could roughly guess what Tang Xiao wanted to say to him, and he and Tang Xiao's personalities were too similar, as long as they sat together to discuss issues, they would always turn into a quarrel in the end .
But after thinking about it, Tang Taiwei felt that this was the first time Tang Xiao asked to explain something to him. In view of this change, he should probably listen to what Tang Xiao had to say.
So the guard who sent the message quickly returned to Tang Xiao's room, and brought the key to unlock Tang Xiao's shackles.
Following Tang Xiao out of the room, Xuan Feng ran around happily, and when he had run enough, he returned to Tang Xiao's side.
When going to Tang Taiwei's room, Tang Xiao originally wanted to keep Xuanfeng outside, but Xuanfeng refused, making Tang Xiao helpless, so he could only bring Xuanfeng into Tang Taiwei's room.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Tang Taiwei turned his head and saw a man and a beast. He raised his eyebrows and sarcastically said: "What? I dare not come alone, so I want to drag a leopard for the show?"
Tang Xiao took a deep breath, sat down opposite Tang Taiwei calmly, and said, "Grandpa, just treat it like that."
Xuanfeng stared at Taiwei Tang before lying down at Tang Xiao's feet.
Tang Taiwei snorted coldly and asked, "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
"There are a lot," Tang Xiao replied, "The incident happened suddenly yesterday, and I couldn't have a good chat with my grandfather."
"When will you sit down with me and have a good chat?" Tang Taiwei glared at Tang Xiao, "In this Tang mansion, you are the only one who dares to stare at me."
"That's because I know my grandfather is good to me, and I know that my grandfather will not be really angry."
"Hmph!" Taiwei Tang gave Tang Xiao a blank look, "Don't flatter me, just speak up."
Tang Xiao opened his mouth, but even though he was already sitting opposite Tang Taiwei, Tang Xiao really didn't know what to say.Said he was serious?But most of the time, no one will believe it.Thinking about it carefully, there seemed to be very few words to defend himself, which made Tang Xiao curious about what Ye Yi and Tang Taiwei said yesterday.
After pondering for a while, Tang Xiao gave up and said, "Let me play chess with grandfather."
Surprised that Tang Xiao would make such a suggestion, Tang Taiwei looked at Tang Xiao suspiciously before asking someone to get the chessboard.
The chessboard and chess basket have been put away, Tang Xiao politely let Tang Taiwei go first.
"Do you still know how to be humble?" Tang Taiwei chuckled, and gave a son first.
The corner of Tang Xiao's mouth raised slightly, and said, "I learned from Brother Yi."
As soon as Tang Xiao mentioned Ye Yi, Tang Taiwei put on a straight face again: "You didn't learn anything from being with him!"
Tang Xiao stared at the empty chessboard and pondered for a while, before hesitating to make a son: "If grandfather really thinks this way, he won't recognize Brother Yi as his half-grandson."
Tang Taiwei slammed down and said angrily: "I recognized a wolf-hearted dog!"
Tang Xiao curled his lips and said, "Brother Yi trained two generals to assist the Tang family, and now he only wants his grandfather Yi's grandson in return, but his grandfather still refuses to give it. Would he be too stingy? I don't know who it is. ..." Tang Xiao said the last sentence in such a low voice that Taiwei Tang didn't dare to hear it clearly.
Tang Taiwei glared at Tang Xiao after hearing the words: "Is this a question of being stingy or not?! He taught my grandson badly and discredited my Tang family!"
"Are the Tang family still afraid of being discredited?" Tang Xiao said disapprovingly.
"Not afraid," Tang Taiwei smiled smugly, but turned his eyes wide again, "It's okay not to be afraid!"
Tang Xiao curled his lips, stopped talking, and only concentrated on playing chess.
But Tang Xiao was concentrating, but Tang Taiwei couldn't.
"You brat! You said that you don't have a woman around you, so why did you just fall in love with a man?"
"Who knows," Tang Xiao shrugged, "If I could know the reason, maybe I would have given up a long time ago."
"Think now! Let me give up after you figure out the reason!" Taiwei Tang stared at Tang Xiao with a beard blowing his beard. He only felt that Tang Xiao was irritating when he was choking with him, but now he was no longer choking, but even more irritating. It's exactly the same as Tang Yun!
Tang Xiao raised his eyes and glanced at Tang Taiwei, and said with a smirk: "Oh, then I'm starting to think now, when will I think about it and when will I give up."
Upon hearing this, Tang Taiwei knew that Tang Xiao had no intention of giving up at all. If he couldn't figure it out for the rest of his life, wouldn't this be the end of his life?
"Where is that kid worthy of your determination to turn against your relatives?" Tang Taiwei asked.
"Grandpa doesn't understand even after talking about it." Tang Xiao dropped another son, "Besides, I never thought about turning against my relatives. Brother Yi has no relatives around him. Because of this, he prefers relatives the most. If a family member turns against him, he will feel guilty for the rest of his life. Therefore, I will not turn against my relatives, and I will still play chess with my grandfather here, just hoping to convince my grandfather.
I don't mean to ask my grandfather to agree with us immediately, but I ask my grandfather to give us a chance to prove ourselves. "
"I won't give you this chance!" Taiwei Tang said coldly
After getting off his horse, Ye Yi walked up to Fu Ren as if nothing had happened.
"Anything for me?"
"I've heard about the Tang Mansion."
Except for giving Lin Yuer a chronic poison, Ye Yi never gave Fu Ren any tasks. Although he also didn't give Fu Ying any orders, Fu Ying was following Lan Ruo to learn how to manage the affairs of Ye Yi's mansion.Fu Ren could have trained the guards, but the guards in the Zhuang Mansion were Bai Zi except him, and Ye Yi did not recruit anyone else.
In this way, Fu Ren really had nothing to do, and he was embarrassed to live and eat in the Zhuang Mansion for nothing, so Fu Ren began to collect information everywhere. Whether it was useful or useless, Fu Ren had to go out every day, Then bring back some of the big and small things that happened in Chang'an City.Today, when I went out for a walk, Fu Ren not only heard the rumors that Ye Yi and Wang Yuqing's golden boy and jade girl were a match made in heaven, but also heard about the affairs in the Tang Mansion. Because he paid special attention to the Tang Mansion, Fu Ren also went to the Tang Mansion. Fu Ren was taken aback by the news he got after spending a few copper coins.
Back at the Zhuang Mansion, Fu Ren felt restless. On the one hand, he was shocked by the news he heard, and on the other hand, he was also worried for Ye Yi.A tough person like Taiwei Tang, knowing this, how could he let Ye Yi go?
Left and right couldn't sit still, so Fu Ren ran to the door and waited.
Ye Yi laughed as soon as he heard this, and said: "Sure enough, he is someone who stayed by His Majesty's side. Even I only heard about it after I went to the Tang Mansion, but you have already found out."
"The incident happened just now, and the people in the Tang Mansion were terrified, and their moods were just unstable, and they could be asked with a little coaxing." If it took a while, it might not be so easy to ask.
"It's a coincidence for you." Ye Yi laughed lightly and walked into the house.
Fu Ren turned and followed, puzzled by Ye Yi's unexpected calmness: "What's your plan, sir?"
Ye Yi paused, turned his head to look at Fu Ren, and asked with a smile: "If I rob people with Tang Taiwei, do you think I can win?"
Fu Ren was dumbfounded.
Knowing that Fu Ren would show such an expression, Ye Yi curled his lips and continued walking.
"Young Master," Fu Ren came back to his senses, followed Ye Yi's footsteps, and said firmly, "As long as the young master orders, I can do anything for the young master."
Ye Yi glanced at Fu Ren, and said leisurely: "Don't worry, I won't let you sneak into the Tang Mansion to steal people."
Hearing Ye Yi's words, Fu Ren heaved a sigh of relief.
Although he can do anything, he is still afraid if he is really asked to fight against the entire Tang Mansion alone. After all, there is not only a Tang Taiwei in the Tang Mansion today, but also a General of the Sixteenth Guards, two A general of Zhen Guo and a rookie military general who just entered the Habayashi Guard, not to mention that most of the guards in the Tang Mansion are soldiers who cannot join the army due to injuries or have nowhere to go after finishing their service. If he really dared to sneak in, he probably couldn't. Get out of the way.
"Then what will the young master do?" Fu Ren really couldn't think of any way to fight against Tang Taiwei.
"No hurry." Approaching the backyard of the Zhuang Mansion, Ye Yi was thrown into his arms by Xuan Feng, trampling Xuan Feng's head, Ye Yi said with a smile, "Xuan Feng grows really fast, and his kung fu grows stronger in just a few days." A little bit."
Fu Ren was silent.I feed it with delicious food and drink every day, and I have specially invited someone to train and take care of it. Can it not grow well?
Ye Yi patted Xuanfeng's head, and said, "Go find Tang Xiao, and come back with him, you know?"
Xuanfeng rubbed his head against Ye Yi's body.
"Go quickly." Taking a step back and letting go of Xuanfeng, Ye Yi looked at Xuanfeng with a smile.
Xuanfeng licked his lips, looked at Ye Yi, then turned around and ran out of Zhuang Mansion.
Fu Ren watched Xuanfeng run out of sight, and always felt that Xuanfeng, who was beginning to understand people's words, was very evil.
At night, Ye Yi was sitting in the yard in a daze, when suddenly a figure fell from the sky.
"Brother Yi!" Tang Yun managed to sneak out of the house, and hurried to look for Ye Yi as soon as he got away.
"Sit down." With the flagon in his hand back to the opposite side, Ye Yi motioned Tang Yun to sit down, "Is there a mess in the house?"
Tang Yun lifted the hem of his clothes and sat down, holding the flagon in his hand, but he didn't pick it up to take a sip.
"Fortunately, grandpa closed Xiao, so there will be no chaos."
Hearing this, Ye Yi chuckled softly: "I was locked up and imprisoned some time ago, and now it's him again. Didn't lose my temper?"
"I just thought it was strange," Tang Yun was worried, "I thought he would come out after he woke up, but he turned out to be surprisingly quiet. I took a look at him, and he seemed to be in a good mood. Xuanfeng has gone Afterwards, he played with Xuanfeng even more happily. That kid...couldn't be stupid?"
Ye Yi laughed: "It's fine if he's stupid, maybe he's stupid, and your grandfather doesn't want him anymore, just give him to me."
"Brother Yi, you are still in the mood to joke..." Tang Yun twitched the corners of his mouth, "I was scared to death! Ah Ce and Yan'er are also worried..."
"They don't blame me." Ye Yi sighed.
Tang Yun immediately said: "Ace said that he has many older brothers, so he gave one to Brother Yi, and he has three older brothers, but if he wants to go back to Xiao with Brother Yi, he may only have one older brother left. "
Ye Yi lowered his eyes.Maybe it will really become like that, because that is also helpless.
Seeing Ye Yi's silence, Tang Yun scratched his head, and comforted him: "Brother Yi, don't worry too much, I will find a way to talk to my grandfather or my mother, and I will also talk to Xiao, let him be soft, and talk to him well. Let's talk at home. As Ah Ce said, our family has many grandchildren, and there is no shortage of one."
"I'm sorry," Ye Yi smiled at Tang Yun, "Tell Ah Xiao that I may not visit him recently, because... I have something to do."
"Is there anything I can do to help?" Tang Yun sincerely hoped that this matter could be resolved before he went to the Western Regions to take up his post, otherwise he would not feel at ease even if he left Chang'an.
Ye Yi thought for a while, and said: "Help me take care of A Xiao during this time, he probably won't be able to bear it for long with his temper."
Tang Yun nodded with a smile, and said, "I know, you don't have to worry about our family's situation, Brother Yi, I'll take care of it. Don't force yourself too much, Brother Yi."
"Well, thank you."
Tang Yun didn't dare to stay in the Zhuang Mansion. The matter was almost explained, so he hurried back to the Tang Mansion. Tang Ce and Tang Yan helped to cover it up. No one in the Tang family noticed that Tang Yun had slipped away.But before Tang Yun could tell Tang Xiao what Ye Yi said, he was called away by his father Tang Shichang.
Early in the morning of the second day, Ye Yi got up refreshed, tidied up quickly, and ate the breakfast prepared by Lan Ruo and Fu Ying, and then rode a horse and leisurely went to the East Palace.
When Ye Yi arrived at the Mingde Hall of the East Palace, it happened to be the time for the crown prince to return to the East Palace for the court meeting. Ye Yi naturally joined the ranks of the officials of the East Palace and sat next to the crown prince.
When the crown prince stepped into the Mingde Hall, he saw Ye Yi sitting there, paused for a moment, and then continued to move forward until he reached the seat, turned around and sat down.
After Ye Yi paid homage to the prince with the officials of the East Palace, he sat back down again.
The prince looked at Ye Yi who was bowing his head and said nothing, and asked: "Young Fu entered the palace, but what went wrong with Tang Taiwei's birthday banquet preparations?"
Ye Yi turned to the prince, and said: "Your Highness, the six boats on the Qujiang River are about to be completed and have entered the final stage of decoration. I would like to ask Your Highness, do you need to make some special arrangements on the boats?"
Of course, both the crown prince and Ye Yi knew that they would talk about Tang Taiwei's birthday banquet, but it was just to give Ye Yi a proper reason to return to the East Palace, otherwise Ye Yi, who had been absent for many days, would suddenly come back, It's inappropriate to say nothing, even though Ye Yi's absence was decided by the crown prince.
The prince pondered for a moment before replying: "I will discuss this matter with my father and younger brothers before I discuss it."
"Yes." Ye Yi sat up straight again.
Next, the court meeting in the East Palace proceeded normally, and no one asked why Tang Xiao was absent.
At the end of the court meeting, the prince called Ye Yi up, and they went to the Cheng'en Hall in the inner palace together.
Entering the study room of Cheng'en Hall, the crown prince waved away the redundant people in the study room, and then asked Ye Yi, "This morning, Tang Taiwei reported sick leave to the Shaobao, do you know?"
"I know." Are you sick?It really looks like something Tang Taiwei would do.
The prince sat down behind the desk, frowned and said, "In addition, Taiwei Tang strongly recommended you to replace Tang Yun as the guardian of the Western Regions. What's going on?"
Ye Yi was not surprised by this at all, or it was completely expected.
Ye Yi smiled apologetically at the prince: "I have done some rebellious things in the past few days, which made Tang Taiwei unhappy. This is to ask me to go to the Western Regions to reflect on my past and cause trouble to His Highness. I deserve death."
The crown prince looked at Ye Yi suspiciously, and said: "Tang Taiwei has always liked to punish his family members through transfers. As far as I know, Shaobao was often demoted by Tang Taiwei before he came to the East Palace. Because it does not affect the overall situation, father The emperor also knows Tang Taiwei's character very well, so he didn't stop him, but how did you annoy Tang Taiwei to such an extent? As smart as you, don't you know how to calm Tang Taiwei's anger?"
Ye Yi said with a smile: "I know the method to appease Tang Taiwei, but I don't want to back down on this matter."
"What happened?" If Tang Taiwei continued to entangle with his father and really sent Ayi to the Western Regions, his East Palace would lose a general.
Ye Yi looked at the prince, and said frankly: "Does Your Highness know about the mutual agreement between the minister and the Shaobao Tang Xiao?"
The prince stared in surprise, but after thinking about it, he was not so surprised again.
"I don't know about it, but you said it, and I won't be too surprised. The two of you are indeed too close." After speaking, the prince suddenly thought why Tang Taiwei was so angry, "Your matter Taiwei Tang found out?"
Ye Yi smiled wryly and nodded.
The crown prince frowned and asked, "Aren't you planning to delay the attack?"
Ye Yi shook his head resolutely, and said: "I don't intend to. I know that this matter is no small matter. If His Highness thinks it's inappropriate, I can leave the East Palace."
The crown prince stared at Ye Yi, saw that Ye Yi was serious, he showed a faint smile, and said: "Don't say that, I have been waiting for you for so long, and I finally hoped for you to come to the East Palace. Let you go easily? Wouldn't that be in line with your desire to be at ease?"
Ye Yi laughed and said: "His Royal Highness sees this subject so thoroughly that I can't even be lazy and play tricks."
The prince smiled and said: "This is just right, you will be in the East Palace and serve the Palace with all your heart."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your appreciation." Ye Yi cupped his hands and bowed.
The prince suppressed his smile again, and said seriously: "The Tang family... must have some stains."
Hearing this, Ye Yi was stunned, and then suddenly realized.
The Tang family joined the army for three generations.
The first generation of Tang Taiwei is now the heart of the army, commanding the three armies without even the emperor's order. If he hadn't grown old and only wandered on the edge of the court, he would have become a thorn in the emperor's eyes long ago.
The second generation of Tang Shichang was the general of the Sixteenth Guards, and he failed to continue to be promoted because the Tang family had a Tang Taiwei. It is the army guarding the palace, and the safety of the palace is in Tang Shichang's hands.Tang Shichang's younger brother, Tang Shiping, is a military weapons supervisor, and his official rank is not high, but he is in charge of the manufacturing of weapons for the three armed forces, and he also holds an important position.
Besides, the third generation of the Tang family, brothers Tang Yun and Tang Xiao, who were only nineteen years old, were entrusted with the title of general of the auxiliary country because of various encounters, meritorious deeds and the protection of the previous two generations. One will go to the Western Regions to sit in town, and the other will take over In order to protect the safety of the crown prince, even Tang Ce joined the Habayashi Guard. It is not known where it will be in a few years.
The various positions in the Tang family are high and powerful, and under the discipline of Tang Taiwei, the family style is very strict. The whole family is a person of good character, so whether it is among the people or in the court, they all enjoy a high reputation and are loved by others.
Such a careful calculation, Ye Yi was shocked.
Perhaps the emperor trusted the Tang Taiwei, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with the Tang family's power, but since the crown prince said today that "the Tang family should have a stain", it shows that the crown prince is afraid of the Tang family. If the fourth generation of the Tang family Still so beautiful, I'm afraid something bad will happen.
But... Do you want to turn Tang Xiao into that stain of the Tang family for such a reason?Ye Yi couldn't do it, even if he just imagined it, he couldn't see Tang Xiao being pointed at and gossiped about.
Ye Yi thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt that perhaps Tang Taiwei was also conscious of this, and that's why he frequently "abuses his power" in the name of punishing his grandson these years.
In any case, Ye Yi wanted to oppose Tang Taiwei for the time being, so after hearing what the crown prince said, Ye Yi pressed it into his heart.
Even if he had a way, he wouldn't tell Taiwei Tang at this time.
Seeing Ye Yi's silence, the prince thought that Ye Yi was worried that he would harm the Tang family. After all, the relationship between Ye Yi and the Tang family was comparable to that of relatives.
"Don't worry, I know that the whole Tang family is loyal. I just want to use your mouth to remind the Tang family. I won't say too much about your private affairs, but if you delay If you mess up the matter of this palace, this palace will not forgive you."
"Please rest assured, Your Highness."
The showdown between Ye Yi and the prince went well here, but it was not so smooth for Tang Xiao over there.
Suddenly being imprisoned and unable to meet Ye Yi as he wished, Tang Xiao was already in a bad mood, the reason why he didn't show it was because he didn't want to look flustered, as if he really didn't trust Ye Yi and was always afraid of being abandoned.
When Xuanfeng came, Tang Xiao finally felt better.After a period of training, in addition to being able to assist in fights, Xuanfeng also completely remembered the smell of Tang Xiao and Ye Yi, and learned the skill of sending messages, just like it can smell Tang Xiao's smell from the Zhuang Mansion alone As long as it comes to the Tang Mansion, as long as the note is wrapped and hung around its neck, it can also leave the Tang Mansion again, smelling Ye Yi's scent to find Ye Yi's location.
Of course, so far Xuanfeng can only go back and forth between Ye Yi and Tang Xiao, if there is a third person, Xuanfeng will not know who to go to.
On the day and night when Xuanfeng came, Tang Yun came to deliver a message for Ye Yi again. Although Tang Xiao had no way of judging Ye Yi's actions, he still felt relieved.
But after waking up from sleep, Tang Xiao's good mood was completely ruined.
Gu Xiyue smiled and stood three steps away from Tang Xiao, the maidservant behind her was still holding Tang Xiao's breakfast.
"Second Young Master, Ma'am wants me to bring you breakfast. Do Second Young Master want to eat now?"
Tang Xiao didn't even look at Gu Xiyue, but only looked at Xuanfeng lying on his lap, it seemed that it was more important for Xuanfeng to be smooth than breakfast.
"Leave it alone, the maidservants in the Tang Mansion know where my room is, so there is no need for a girl to send it to me." She still smiled so maliciously, just looking at it affected her mood.
"This..." Gu Xiyue looked embarrassed, "Although Xiyue doesn't know what happened, the second son must cherish his body. Presumably the wife is also worried about the second son, so she let Xiyue come."
Hearing Gu Xiyue's words, the veins on Tang Xiao's forehead jumped happily.
Who doesn't cherish their body?He is not stupid enough to trample on his own body, and do that kind of resistance that only a woman would do, so what face does he have to see brother Yi again?He just didn't want to see this woman!
"Second son..."
Seeing that Tang Xiao was ignoring her, Gu Xiyue took a step forward, but before the raised foot touched the ground, Xuanfeng, who had been obediently lying on Tang Xiao's lap, suddenly raised his head and looked at Gu Xiyue warily. , grinning and whimpering.
Gu Xiyue was so frightened that she immediately took back her steps, and even took two steps back.
Tang Xiao patted Xuanfeng's head approvingly.
When he gave Xuanfeng to Brother Yi, he just wanted to add a plaything to Brother Yi. If Brother Yi hadn't insisted on training, he would have kept Xuanfeng as a pet at most. Now it seems that Brother Yi really has the foresight Except for him and Brother Yi, Xuanfeng can barely accept Tang Yun and Bai Zi approaching, and the rest of them will grin their teeth when they get closer. Of course, Xuanfeng will not bite without the order of him and Brother Yi, but whoever If you are threatened by a leopard, you will feel scared, so since Xuanfeng came into being, there are a lot fewer people who can lean on you, which is really good.
"Sister Xiyue, what are you doing here?" Tang Yan also came here because she was worried about Tang Xiao, but when she entered, she saw Gu Xiyue first.
"Sister Yan," Gu Xiyue turned around, looked at Tang Yan with a smile, and said, "Madam ordered me to bring some food to Second Young Master, but..."
As she said that, Gu Xiyue gave Tang Xiao a sneaky glance, as if to imply that Tang Xiao didn't welcome her.
Tang Yan stretched her neck to look at Tang Xiao, then said to Gu Xiyue: "Sister Xiyue, go back and rest, I'm here."
Her second elder brother always looked unhappy towards everyone. So far, Tang Yan has only had Tang Xiao's effect in front of Ye Yi, but in front of Tang Yun, Tang Xiao is mostly furious. As for other times, he is willing to return. In a word, Tang Xiao is polite.When Gu Xiyue came here at this time, she would definitely face all kinds of embarrassments, and Tang Xiao couldn't even be expected to be polite.
"But Madam ordered..." Gu Xiyue wanted to say something to stay and strengthen her relationship with Tang Xiao, but she was stopped by the careless Tang Yan before she finished speaking.
"Sister Xiyue, let's go back. If my aunt blames me, I'll go and talk about it." After speaking, Tang Yan smiled at Gu Xiyue, then pushed Gu Xiyue out the door, said goodbye to Gu Xiyue, and put The door of Tang Xiao's room was closed.
Turning around and returning to the bed, Tang Yan squatted down and looked at Xuanfeng.
Xuanfeng first looked at Tang Yan warily, seeing that Tang Yan just stared at it and didn't do anything, Xuanfeng licked his lips boredly, turned his head and continued to enjoy Tang Xiao's touch.
"How did it turn around?" Tang Yan, who was ignored, complained to Tang Xiao dissatisfied.
Tang Xiao turned a deaf ear to Tang Yan's complaints and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Yan stared at Tang Xiao with wide eyes: "What are you doing? Of course I came here because I was worried about my second brother's situation. Do you want to eat?"
Tang Xiao looked at the food on the table in a blink of an eye, then nodded, got out of bed and sat down at the table, while filling his stomach, he distributed his food to Xuanfeng.
Seeing this scene, Tang Yan frowned, and asked, "What does Xuanfeng usually eat? I'll go and tell the kitchen to prepare some food for Xuanfeng."
"Okay." Tang Xiao thought for a while, and told Tang Yan what Xuanfeng usually ate, which made Tang Yan's eyes widen.
"My God! Brother Yi is really rich, people are reluctant to eat those things, and he bought them to feed leopards! I also want to be raised by Brother Yi..."
Tang Xiao glared at Tang Yan.
Tang Yan's eyes suddenly brightened, and she suggested to Tang Xiao with great interest: "How about this, I marry Brother Yi, and the second brother and Brother Yi secretly spend time together, so everyone will be happy!"
Tang Xiao couldn't help but slap Tang Yan on the head: "What are you thinking about all day long?"
Are you happy?Who is happy?
"Why did you hit me?" Tang Yan covered her head with an aggrieved face, "Is my proposal not good? In that case, I can be raised by Brother Yi, and I can have delicious food every day, and my second brother can also be with Brother Yi." How nice to be together."
Tang Xiao rolled his eyes.Who raised this girl so much that she only knows how to eat?
"Any news about Brother Yi?"
Tang Yan curled her lips and said, "Second Brother, you only heard the news from Eldest Brother last night. It was just dawn, and Eldest Brother was also trapped by his grandfather these days and was not allowed to enter the palace. Even if Third Brother can see Brother Yi and send a message , I can only come back at night. Besides, it’s only a day, so what can I say..."
Tang Xiao gave Tang Yan a blank look, and said nothing more.
It doesn't matter what he says, he just wants to hear something related to Brother Yi, he just wants to know if Brother Yi who is outside has been made things difficult... It really doesn't suit him to just sit here and wait.
Keenly aware of the impatience in Tang Xiao's expression, Tang Yan reminded vigilantly: "Second brother, don't mess around. Since Brother Yi wants you to wait, it's better for you to wait here. Look, grandfather I was still holding my breath when I got up, if you add fuel to the fire, brother Yi will be unlucky."
Taking a glance at Tang Yan, Tang Xiao said, "It's really rare that you said something useful."
Tang Yan stared, looked at Tang Xiao in disbelief, and said after a while: "Second brother, you and eldest brother are indeed twins, why do you have such a bad mouth?"
Tang Xiao gave Tang Yan another look.He and Tang Yun have been twins for nearly 20 years, so what's the truth now?
Curling her lips, Tang Yan stood up and said, "I'm not here to suffer, I'm going to visit my grandfather."
"Well, ask something useful and come back."
Tang Yan rolled her eyes to the sky, and hurriedly went out.
As soon as Tang Yan could not leave, Mrs. Tang came.
Tang Xiao's face immediately darkened again.
Will everyone in the Tang Manor come to visit him later?so annoying...
"A Xiao, I heard from Xiyue..." Mrs. Tang glanced at the table, and unexpectedly found that all the food had been eaten. Looking at where Tang Xiao was sitting, Mrs. Tang swallowed back what she was about to say.
Tang Xiao glanced at Mrs. Tang's face, and said in a deep voice, "How could it be possible to go on a hunger strike? I just saw that woman in a bad mood."
"You child!" Mrs. Tang glared at Tang Xiao, then sat down next to her, "Why is Xiyue so annoying?"
Tang Xiao replied confidently, "From head to toe."
Mrs. Tang couldn't help but slap Tang Xiao on the head: "Who are you not bothered by looking at? Brother Yi is not bothered!"
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Tang regretted it.
At this moment, why did he mention Ye Yi?
Seeing Mrs. Tang's expression of saying something wrong, Tang Xiao thought it was funny.
It's not that if they don't mention it, he will forget Brother Yi, and it's not that if they don't mention it, Ye Yi will cease to exist. What are they worried about?
"There are a lot of people who I don't find annoying, but those who have ulterior motives are annoying."
"How can Xiyue have ulterior motives?" Mrs. Tang glared at Tang Xiao, "Isn't it because I care about you when I come to deliver you a meal today?"
"Caring about me?" Tang Xiao sneered, "Is she familiar with me? Why should she care about me? She would come all the way from Jingzhou to Chang'an because she heard that she could marry into the Tang family?"
"If you want to marry into the Tang family, do you have ulterior motives?" Mrs. Tang looked at Tang Xiao amusedly, thinking that Tang Xiao was really a child.
"Isn't it?" Tang Xiao felt displeased when he saw Mrs. Tang's expression, "She doesn't know anyone in the Tang family at all, does she? It's not because of the power of the Tang family. Could it be because of the power of the Tang family? We brothers came to Chang'an all the way after we fell in love? We haven't even met once, who would believe that we are in love with each other?"
What Tang Xiao said was right, it actually left Mrs. Tang speechless for a moment.
Sighing, Mrs. Tang said again: "Marriage matters, parents' orders, matchmaker's words, how can you blame her? Isn't this why she came here after the two families had discussed it?"
"Who made the decision? Who made the decision with whom? Who made the decision to marry, why give it to our brother?" Tang Xiao stared at Mrs. Tang, speaking rudely.
"What's your attitude when you talk to mother!" Mrs. Tang slapped Tang Xiao dissatisfiedly, but she knew her son's temper well, so she wasn't angry at all.
Tang Xiao rubbed his head, and kept pressing Xuanfeng's head with his other hand to comfort Xuanfeng.
Seeing that Tang Xiao had been pressing Xuanfeng to prevent her from being accidentally injured, Mrs. Tang softened again, and said: "In the end, this matter is not all up to you? It's better if you get in touch with Xiyue more. You still have time."
"It's too late." Knowing what Madam Tang was talking about, Tang Xiao replied without hesitation.
"Why is it too late?" Mrs. Tang persuaded, "You have been with Ayi since you were a child, and you confuse your admiration for your brother with your love. As long as you get in touch with Xiyue more, you will understand Your feelings for Ayi are not called love."
"Why?" Tang Xiao asked immediately.
"What are you asking?" Mrs. Tang was taken aback by the question, and looked at Tang Xiao blankly.
Tang Xiao said in a deep voice: "Why does mother think that as long as I have more contact with Gu Xiyue, I can understand that my feelings for Brother Yi are not love? Because Gu Xiyue is a woman and Brother Yi is a man? The feeling of love is confused with the feeling of love, so why didn't I fall in love with Tang Yun and Tang Ce, but why did I fall in love with Brother Yi?"
Mrs. Tang was startled when she heard that, and reprimanded Tang Xiao, "Don't talk nonsense! If you really set your sights on Ah Yun or Ah Ce, let's see if your grandfather doesn't break your leg!"
Tang Xiao rolled his eyes, feeling that Mrs. Tang's focus was wrong.
"Mother, don't need to talk," Tang Xiao said in a deep voice, too lazy to argue, "I can tell my feelings clearly, and I know what I'm doing. If Mother is not afraid of delaying Gu Xiyue's lifelong event, then let her Push to my side, left and right, I will not fall in love with her, and I will definitely not marry her. Mother, don't expect me to give her a good face. "
Mrs. Tang sighed, and said: "You child, I don't know who you are so stubborn. Anyway, when the time comes, you will wake up, and now you can't listen to persuasion. You can do it yourself."
After speaking, Mrs. Tang got up and left the room.
She really didn't want to admit that her son fell in love with a man. If she had known that this day would happen, she would never have made her sons so close to Ye Yi.
After sending Madam Tang away, Tang Xiao lay down on the bed bored.
Although Mrs. Tang said that he would wake up, Tang Xiao didn't think that he had been obsessed with obsession for several years, and there was no possibility of him realizing it now.Tang Xiao always felt that it was not wrong for him to fall in love with Ye Yi, so he was always confident. The only thing he was afraid of was losing Ye Yi.Tang Xiao also understood that not everyone could understand them and support them, but Tang Xiao didn't expect things to become so troublesome.
When Ye Yi came yesterday and saw the situation, he entered the study without hesitation. Tang Xiao didn't know what Ye Yi had said to Tang Taiwei. From now on, recalling Ye Yi's relieved expression when he walked out of the study, Tang Xiao felt that maybe When he accepted him, Ye Yi had already anticipated the current situation, and Tang Xiao then figured out why Ye Yi still kept a brotherly distance from him in front of outsiders, and then Tang Xiao understood why Tang Yun said Ye Yichong he.
It's not a question of right or wrong, as long as two people can be together well, so what if they want to keep it a secret?It's a pity that Tang Xiao didn't know how troublesome it was to be upright until now.However, Ye Yi never complained to him.
In fact, Tang Xiao occasionally felt strong dissatisfaction with Ye Yi, because even if Ye Yi had anticipated certain situations, he would never explain it to him. Ye Yi always made plans and worked hard by himself However, Tang Xiao could only understand Ye Yi's actions after the fact.
Being pampered by Ye Yi, Tang Xiao would feel happy, but he also hoped that he could face the difficulties that belonged to the two of them together with Ye Yi, instead of always having Ye Yi bear it alone because of his lack of foresight.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was really useless. Tang Xiao stood up and got out of bed, and asked the guards guarding the door to inform Tang Taiwei that he wanted to sit down and have a good talk with his grandfather.
Although Tang Xiao was bound by shackles, even if he was bound, he was still the second son of the Tang family, so the guard immediately went to inform Tang Taiwei after receiving the order.
Tang Taiwei originally didn't want to pay attention to Tang Xiao, because he could roughly guess what Tang Xiao wanted to say to him, and he and Tang Xiao's personalities were too similar, as long as they sat together to discuss issues, they would always turn into a quarrel in the end .
But after thinking about it, Tang Taiwei felt that this was the first time Tang Xiao asked to explain something to him. In view of this change, he should probably listen to what Tang Xiao had to say.
So the guard who sent the message quickly returned to Tang Xiao's room, and brought the key to unlock Tang Xiao's shackles.
Following Tang Xiao out of the room, Xuan Feng ran around happily, and when he had run enough, he returned to Tang Xiao's side.
When going to Tang Taiwei's room, Tang Xiao originally wanted to keep Xuanfeng outside, but Xuanfeng refused, making Tang Xiao helpless, so he could only bring Xuanfeng into Tang Taiwei's room.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Tang Taiwei turned his head and saw a man and a beast. He raised his eyebrows and sarcastically said: "What? I dare not come alone, so I want to drag a leopard for the show?"
Tang Xiao took a deep breath, sat down opposite Tang Taiwei calmly, and said, "Grandpa, just treat it like that."
Xuanfeng stared at Taiwei Tang before lying down at Tang Xiao's feet.
Tang Taiwei snorted coldly and asked, "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
"There are a lot," Tang Xiao replied, "The incident happened suddenly yesterday, and I couldn't have a good chat with my grandfather."
"When will you sit down with me and have a good chat?" Tang Taiwei glared at Tang Xiao, "In this Tang mansion, you are the only one who dares to stare at me."
"That's because I know my grandfather is good to me, and I know that my grandfather will not be really angry."
"Hmph!" Taiwei Tang gave Tang Xiao a blank look, "Don't flatter me, just speak up."
Tang Xiao opened his mouth, but even though he was already sitting opposite Tang Taiwei, Tang Xiao really didn't know what to say.Said he was serious?But most of the time, no one will believe it.Thinking about it carefully, there seemed to be very few words to defend himself, which made Tang Xiao curious about what Ye Yi and Tang Taiwei said yesterday.
After pondering for a while, Tang Xiao gave up and said, "Let me play chess with grandfather."
Surprised that Tang Xiao would make such a suggestion, Tang Taiwei looked at Tang Xiao suspiciously before asking someone to get the chessboard.
The chessboard and chess basket have been put away, Tang Xiao politely let Tang Taiwei go first.
"Do you still know how to be humble?" Tang Taiwei chuckled, and gave a son first.
The corner of Tang Xiao's mouth raised slightly, and said, "I learned from Brother Yi."
As soon as Tang Xiao mentioned Ye Yi, Tang Taiwei put on a straight face again: "You didn't learn anything from being with him!"
Tang Xiao stared at the empty chessboard and pondered for a while, before hesitating to make a son: "If grandfather really thinks this way, he won't recognize Brother Yi as his half-grandson."
Tang Taiwei slammed down and said angrily: "I recognized a wolf-hearted dog!"
Tang Xiao curled his lips and said, "Brother Yi trained two generals to assist the Tang family, and now he only wants his grandfather Yi's grandson in return, but his grandfather still refuses to give it. Would he be too stingy? I don't know who it is. ..." Tang Xiao said the last sentence in such a low voice that Taiwei Tang didn't dare to hear it clearly.
Tang Taiwei glared at Tang Xiao after hearing the words: "Is this a question of being stingy or not?! He taught my grandson badly and discredited my Tang family!"
"Are the Tang family still afraid of being discredited?" Tang Xiao said disapprovingly.
"Not afraid," Tang Taiwei smiled smugly, but turned his eyes wide again, "It's okay not to be afraid!"
Tang Xiao curled his lips, stopped talking, and only concentrated on playing chess.
But Tang Xiao was concentrating, but Tang Taiwei couldn't.
"You brat! You said that you don't have a woman around you, so why did you just fall in love with a man?"
"Who knows," Tang Xiao shrugged, "If I could know the reason, maybe I would have given up a long time ago."
"Think now! Let me give up after you figure out the reason!" Taiwei Tang stared at Tang Xiao with a beard blowing his beard. He only felt that Tang Xiao was irritating when he was choking with him, but now he was no longer choking, but even more irritating. It's exactly the same as Tang Yun!
Tang Xiao raised his eyes and glanced at Tang Taiwei, and said with a smirk: "Oh, then I'm starting to think now, when will I think about it and when will I give up."
Upon hearing this, Tang Taiwei knew that Tang Xiao had no intention of giving up at all. If he couldn't figure it out for the rest of his life, wouldn't this be the end of his life?
"Where is that kid worthy of your determination to turn against your relatives?" Tang Taiwei asked.
"Grandpa doesn't understand even after talking about it." Tang Xiao dropped another son, "Besides, I never thought about turning against my relatives. Brother Yi has no relatives around him. Because of this, he prefers relatives the most. If a family member turns against him, he will feel guilty for the rest of his life. Therefore, I will not turn against my relatives, and I will still play chess with my grandfather here, just hoping to convince my grandfather.
I don't mean to ask my grandfather to agree with us immediately, but I ask my grandfather to give us a chance to prove ourselves. "
"I won't give you this chance!" Taiwei Tang said coldly
