I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

multiple choice?

Faced with Yicheng's suggestion of choosing one or the other, Pei Xiang laughed and shook his head.In her opinion, she has neither the right to decide the marriage partner for her son Wuji, nor the right to interfere with Yang Jian's marriage choice, so she can only live up to the "good intentions" of Yicheng and the princess behind her.

Faced with Pei Xiang's refusal, Yicheng felt very puzzled.To be honest, before discussing with Pei Xiang, neither she nor the Crown Princess had expected that Pei Xiang would not agree to let her son get engaged to Princess Jiahe, because it was obviously a great thing with all benefits and no harm.It can not only keep Pei Xiang's marriage contract, but also order a particularly noble marriage for her son.

You must know that because the princess is too weak to have too many children, Princess Jiahe will be the only heir to the prince's mansion. If there is no accident, she will also be the queen of this country in the future.Therefore, once Wuji makes a marriage contract with Princess Jiahe, it means that the position of Wang Husband is reserved.

After sending away Yicheng who was full of doubts and concealed dissatisfaction, Pei Xiang immediately put these weird and messy things behind her. She rubbed her son's fair and tender face and said with a smile:

"Let's go, ignore the guards outside, let's go outside to find food, and then look at the real life of the people in the Xiliang women's country."

Wuji hesitated for a moment, and then made a request in a firm tone:

"Mother, please change me into a beautiful little girl. It's too dangerous for a boy like me to go out. You must protect yourself at all times."

Pei Xiang burst into a smile, and really began to look at his son's appearance seriously, thinking about what hairstyle and jewelry should be worn for him, Wuji also actively put forward his own ideas, and strived to become a beautiful "mother and daughter" with Pei Xiang group of people.

Seeing this, Yang Jian held down the playful mother and son, and said helplessly:

"Let's leave here as soon as possible. Wuji, you quietly go to the kitchen to find some warm food to bring back, and then have dinner with Master Kongwen, and then go to preview tomorrow's homework. Your mother and I will go out and check that How are the abducted children doing, if they are well arranged and taken care of, then we will leave Xiliang Women's Country early tomorrow morning."

Hearing Yang Jian's proposal, Wuji showed a little regretful expression, but instead of being coquettish and pestering to try to make the adults change his mind like before, he obediently agreed.

Wuji is so sensible because he sympathizes with Uncle Zhenjun who committed a rotten peach blossom, and he is afraid that the dignified Erlang Zhenjun will be depressed.Therefore, not only did he agree happily, Wuji also repeatedly promised that when Pei Xiangyang and Yangjian left, he would definitely take good care of Master Kongwen and prepare his homework carefully, and would never be lazy and play tricks, so that adults would not worry too much.

Therefore, Pei Xiang had to give up his plan to go shopping with his son in mother-daughter outfits.

"I should care more about Wuji, and tell him the reason behind it," Pei Xiang whispered after the guards who escaped the guards with Yang Jian and successfully left the Yingyang Inn, "This is the first time a child has encountered such a thing. Those who will definitely be impacted will inevitably feel uneasy.”

Yang Jian thought for a while, and seriously made up his mind:

"It's better to choose some works written by the natives of Xiliang Women's Country. Whether it's poetry, travel notes or historical gossip, let him have a more specific understanding of the cultural customs and traditional concepts of this country, and then compare the customs and traditions of other countries. , carefully analyze and compare and explore the source. With more knowledge and deeper understanding, some things will be understood naturally."

Pei Xiang tilted his head and looked at Zhenjun Erlang who was making suggestions with all his heart, and said with a smile:

"Although this method is quite good, I don't think Wuji will like it very much. He was so considerate and caring about you just now, but you arranged a study task for him again. Be careful that after the kid knows the truth, he will treat you with two bags of tears. Mumbling and muttering non-stop."

When Pei Xiang said this, Yang Jian couldn't help but see the scene of Xiao Wuji gossiping from morning to night, and suddenly his eyes became serious, showing a more serious expression than when he was forced to marry by the second princess.

"Don't tell Wuji what I just said."

Pei Xiang nodded with a smile, her face full of sincerity, and she didn't want to be involved, after all, things like Yin Gong are not one-on-one.

"In my opinion, it's better to simply play with him a few times, laugh and play happily, exhausted, and the worries and worries in my heart will naturally disappear."

"Playing exhausted..."

Yang Jian's eyes lit up, and he had an idea in an instant.

"This is easy to handle. After we leave the Xiliang Women's Country, let's not hurry and bury our heads on the road. No matter whether we encounter mountains or rapids, I can lead Wuji to do some interesting competitions that boys like to be passionate about. Under the mountain, the water penetrates the forest and escapes the ground... Just like when I was in Guanjiangkou before, I can play seventeen or eighteen tricks no matter what. By the way, Wuji hasn't played slingshot with me for a long time, so I can take this opportunity to practice again Once you practice it, if you master it well, there will be many unexpected magical effects."

Pei Xiang smiled and glanced at Yang Jian who stretched his brows, and thought to himself that he had gone up and down the river to play in the mountains and wilderness. Finally, this man no longer had a sullen face, and he was very interested in watching it.I don't know whether he will accompany Wuji or Wuji will accompany him when the real playful competition starts in the future.

——Forget it, it’s good to have a smile, and I’ve finally coaxed one.

Pei Xiang and Yang Jian took advantage of the night to walk through the royal city.

In the process of inquiring about the resettlement of those abducted children, the two also deliberately collected information about the court and the royal family of the Xiliang Women's Kingdom.They quickly figured out what happened before and after the abduction of the only daughter of the Crown Prince, Jiahe, and the princess, as well as what Yicheng said was the reason why the Crown Princess was inconvenient to intervene in the investigation of the disappearance of the Second Princess.

"So that's how it is," Pei Xiang jumped down the palace wall and suddenly said, "I was wondering why the case of the disappearance of the queen's only daughter was left to the second princess to investigate, but the biggest sufferer in the prince's mansion had to stand by and watch? Come to the palace and finally figure out what's going on here."

According to Pei Xiang and Yang Jian's inquiries, the reason why Princess Jiahe disappeared and was abducted was caused by the chaos when the queen was assassinated.

A few days ago, the old queen occasionally had a strange dream.After waking up from the fright, she felt that the strange dream was not a good omen, so she took her cronies and juniors to the royal temple on the outskirts of the city to worship Buddha and pray for blessings. Unexpectedly, she was attacked by assassins on the way.

The scene was chaotic and the queen was even slightly injured.After all the assassins were captured and controlled, everyone suddenly realized that while everyone was busy rescuing him, the young Princess Jiahe disappeared.

As for whether the princess was really lost accidentally or was taken away by someone with a heart, it is still under investigation. Similarly, how the princess of Jiahe got into the hands of the trafficker and poisonous man is also full of mysteries.

Although Poison Langzhong and others insisted that they did not know the true identity of the little princess before, because when they met the little princess, the clothes and jewelry on the little princess had been changed, and there was no royal mark at all.But so far, the suspicion of collusion between Poison Langzhong and the assassins is still very strong.Therefore, the whole court waited for the second princess to pry open the mouths of the poisonous man and the others, so as to find the real culprit behind the assassination of Her Majesty the Queen.

The queen is getting old, she is afraid of death, afraid of losing power, and even began to fear her heirs, after several suppressions, the relationship between the mother and daughter is gradually estranged.Coupled with the fact that the Queen Mother suffered a serious illness a few years ago, she is frail and sickly and has no appearance of longevity, which aggravates the Queen's suspicion.Because someone used this to confuse the queen in her ears, implying that the princess could not wait any longer. She was eager to sit on the throne in her lifetime and pass it on to her children smoothly.

Under the estrangement and suspicion, the Queen could not help suspecting that the assassination had something to do with the Crown Princess, and that the disappearance of Princess Jiahe was nothing more than a trick to catch a thief.Therefore, the queen decreed that the investigation of the assassination of the emperor and the disappearance of the princess Jiahe should be handed over to the second princess, and the princess was forbidden to intervene.

Aware of the queen's suspicion and vigilance, the queen mother was even more cautious in her words and deeds, for fear of deepening the queen's dissatisfaction.Therefore, when the young Princess Jiahe returned to the Tainu mansion and asked to see her benefactor, the younger brother, the Wang Tainu could not ask for someone from the second princess directly, so she had to resort to a roundabout way of engagement...

After Pei Xiang and the others inquired about the news and made sure that the rest of the abducted children had been properly arranged, they returned to Yingyang Station, and then told Wuji and Master Kongwen the ins and outs of the investigation.

After listening to Pei Xiang's narration and analysis and speculation, Wuji thought about it for a while, and asked curiously:

"Since the queen is suspicious, why should the princess mention the marriage contract at such a sensitive juncture? Isn't she worried that she will be convicted of colluding with outsiders to assassinate her biological mother?"

Pei Xiang was very happy to hear her son's independent question. She took a sip of tea and analyzed slowly:

"In Xiliang women's country, getting engaged to a man is an extremely rare thing, not to mention it is a lifelong event for the only daughter of the crown prince. Wuji, if our side agrees to the marriage, the crown prince will definitely be married immediately." Tell the queen about this. At that time, the queen will definitely summon us and personally send someone to investigate the origins of the four of us.

"We and the Queen Mother are very clear that there is no tricky and shady relationship between the two parties, so we are not afraid of any investigation. On the contrary, once the Queen bypasses the Second Princess and directly sends someone to investigate our background experience, then , the second princess's bad behavior of using power for personal gain when investigating the assassination of the queen will be exposed. Of course, there may be other mistakes...

"In short, the Crown Princess will probably take this opportunity to violently attack the Second Princess in order to suppress the contender for the throne. If she is lucky, the Crown Princess might be able to take this opportunity to make up for the rift between her and the Queen."

"So, they don't really want to find me a little wife, do they?"

After listening to Pei Xiang's explanation, Wuji's eyes sparkled, he clapped his hands, and happily concluded:

"Mother, they are just using this introduction to find ways to attack their political opponents, right? In this way, it is not very dangerous for a cute boy to walk outside, and he will not be killed every time he takes care of a little girl gently." The other party's parents asked for a physical consent. Hey, I don't worry about it."

As soon as Wuji opened his mouth, he broke the serious atmosphere in the room.

Pei Xiang couldn't help laughing, she gently pushed Yang Jian beside her, and asked the once cute boy to tell the current cute boy how to protect himself when walking outside.

Yang Jian was stern at first, he wanted to have a serious talk with Wuji about the boy's emotional and physical responsibility and responsibility.However, after meeting Shang Wuji's dark round eyes, for some reason, he couldn't help showing a soft smile.Now, he couldn't continue to be serious.

Therefore, Yang Jian looked at Master Kongwen, who had good features and friendly temperament, and showed trust and expectation in his eyes.Obviously, this sage and true monarch believed from the bottom of his heart that the Buddhist master was actually very experienced and persuasive in terms of how to protect Yuanyang, keep the true essence and reject all kinds of mad bees and butterflies.

After receiving Yang Jian's heavy and trusting gaze, Master Kongwen was silent for a while, and chanted the Buddha's name again, then waved to Wuji, and took the child away to discuss the issue alone.Kongwen is going to use the method of explaining Buddhist scriptures to talk about life philosophy and future choices with Wuji's little benefactor.

Pei Xiang: ...There is no need to find such a professional to teach one-on-one.

There were only two people left in the room, so Yang Jian changed his seat and sat down next to Pei Xiang, and refilled her cup with tea.

"Since those abducted children have been settled properly, shall we set off tomorrow morning?" Yang Jian asked.

Pei Xiang nodded, smiled and said:

"I set up a formation near this house tonight to confuse the guards' sight and senses, making them think we haven't left. After the formation fails, it will be too late for them to send people to hunt us down. Besides, I have to give The second princess left behind a 'gift' that made her too busy to take care of herself, and she no longer has the extra energy to think about how to grab a man."

Yang Jian thought of the medicinal materials that Pei Xiang bought quietly after the two left the palace, so he asked curiously:

"Are you going to drug the second princess? What is the effect?"

Pei Xiang said softly with crooked eyebrows and eyes:

"There is no special medicinal effect, just to satisfy her wish. After I give the prepared medicinal powder to the second princess, she will always exude a special smell that belongs to a man. From then on, she has no It's time to rob a man, just smelling the masculinity on his body should be enough."

"Special masculinity..." Yang Jian was puzzled, but suddenly he didn't want to continue asking.

However, Pei Xiang didn't need him to follow up and ask, and soon announced the answer with a smile:

"It's the smell of the socks of a man who doesn't bathe or change clothes frequently and loves to sweat."

Yang Jian: ...I don't know what to say for a while.

——Fortunately, I have become an immortal, with an immortal body, without dirt or dust.

——Perhaps from then on, there will no longer be a custom of rare men in this Xiliang women's country...

——No, I suddenly want to take a bath.
