After I became a widow

Yiwang Mansion

Xiao Yunyi was discussing with Tang Tuo and his staff how to get the military power of the [-] garrison in the suburbs of Beijing.

Suddenly, the housekeeper of Prince Yi's Mansion hurried over, "Your Highness, I heard some news from the restaurant in the city about the second son of the Su family."

As soon as he heard that it was related to Su Mingyan, Xiao Yunyi immediately paid attention to it, "What news?"

The housekeeper glanced at the staff and Tang Tuo, but said nothing.

Xiao Yunyi said, "Just say it."

Thinking that the Qunfang Banquet is coming soon, Su Mingyan will be his man sooner or later, Xiao Yunyi does not intend to hide the fact that he wants to take Su Mingyan as his concubine.

"Yes," the housekeeper nodded respectfully, "Second Young Master Su was having a drink with his friends, and mentioned that Mrs. Su said that she wanted to show him his future wife. He is about to marry a wife."

Xiao Yunyi's face turned cold immediately, "Ah Yan said it himself?"

The steward said: "Yes, Your Highness has previously ordered that if the Second Young Master Su goes out, he will follow behind to protect him. The people in the mansion went into the southwind building together, and happened to overhear."

It's about protection, but it's more about surveillance. I want to know who Su Mingyan has been in contact with and what he likes to do every day, so that it is convenient for him to find people.

It's okay when the weather is warm, but when it's cold, Su Mingyan stays at home and rarely goes out, so that Xiao Yunyi sees him much less often, and even meets him at the door of Su's house several times.

"What a Su family, knowing that this king wants to marry Ah Yan and marry him, so you don't take this king seriously..."

Tang Tuo is fine, from Xiao Yunyi's usual hospitality to Su Mingyan, it can be seen that he must have thought about him.

On the contrary, the aides were very frightened. They didn't realize that His Royal Highness Yi Wang was also a good man, and he wanted to take a concubine of the Duke's son as a concubine. He was very confident and courageous.

Xiao Yunyi ordered the housekeeper with a stern face, "Go to Su's house and tell Su Qi'an that Ah Yan can only belong to this king, and it is best for his wife to settle down, otherwise..."

"My lord, don't do it!" Xiao Yunyi was interrupted by Tang Tuo's words before he could finish his threat.

Xiao Yunyi was displeased, "Why, you want to stop me?"

Tang Tuo explained: "My lord, I just don't think it's appropriate. If my lord wants to accept the second son of Su, then I must like him somewhat in my heart. If I think about it, my lord also hopes that the second son of Su likes you. If you are threatened His father and mother, I'm afraid that Second Young Master Su will feel resentful towards the prince."

Xiao Yunyi looked at him, curled his lips and sneered, "You are talking for the Su family, but you are right, I hope that Ah Yan will follow me sincerely, and I don't want him to blame me."

So Xiao Yunyi changed his words, "I only know that the Su family will tell me that this king, Ayan, has made a decision, and let them not have any other thoughts."

The butler was about to take the order to leave, when Tang Tuo called him, "You can send someone to find out if something happened before the Su family suddenly mentioned that they would discuss marriage with Second Young Master Su."

Xiao Yunyi felt that the Su family didn't want to give their son to him as a concubine, but Tang Tuo didn't think so.

The Su family definitely does not want their son to be a concubine, not even the prince, but taking a concubine is just wishful thinking of Prince Yi, with the relationship of Princess Huai, the Su family only asks for the emperor, who will be more or less Give some face and don't allow King Yi to touch Su Mingyan.

If the emperor doesn't nod his head and King Yi dare not disobey the emperor, then this concubine will definitely not be accepted.

Therefore, it is not because of fear of King Yi, then there are other reasons.

"What are you doubting?" Xiao Yunyi also heard the implication of Tang Tuo's words.

Tang Tuo said: "I just think that Second Master Su is still young, and it's too early to discuss marriage and marry a wife."

"Go and find out," Xiao Yunyi ordered in a cold voice, since the Su family didn't want to guard against him, it was to guard against others.

Someone wanted to rob him, Xiao Yunyi naturally couldn't bear it.

The housekeeper immediately took the order and left, and Xiao Yunyi was in no mood to talk about business, and just wanted to wait for someone to come back after inquiring about the news, wondering what was going on.

Just now the staff thought that King Yi was bold and confident, but now seeing him like this, they think he is too affectionate, which is not a good thing.

Speaking of which, the Su family raised two good sons, the eldest son fascinated King Huai, and the second son made King Yi obsessed, and they were more useful than other daughters.

Tang Tuo is used to this, so what is Su Mingyan now, when King Yi was still the prince, someone was put on top of his heart, and that one is the most powerful.

Fortunately, he died early, otherwise he might not be able to tell what would happen now.

The master ordered, and the Su family didn't deliberately conceal the news, the people in Yi Wang's mansion quickly found out, and after returning to the mansion to pass it on to the housekeeper, the housekeeper came to report to Yi Wang.

"Your Highness, it is said that the daughter of Liu Shilang from the Ministry of Rites wants to marry Second Young Master Su, and a daughter-in-law from the Sun family will act as a matchmaker. It's just that the Su family and the Liu family had some rifts in the past, and the Su family may not want Second Young Master Su. Those who don’t want to marry Liu Shilang’s daughter.”

Tang Tuo took the words, "That's it, the Su family is rejecting the Liu family."

Tang Tuo also told Xiao Yunyi what he knew about the unsuccessful marriage between the Liu family and the Zhong family.

Tang Tuo naturally didn't have any good comments on the Liu family and the Liu family's daughter. After finishing speaking, he concluded: "Mrs. Su may be worried that the Liu family will be entangled and find it troublesome, so she simply arranged a marriage for the second son of Su. Liu's thoughts."

It's not uncommon for a man to marry a woman. No matter how high or low his status is, there are plenty of means to get what he wants without shame.Therefore, if a woman's family does not want her daughter to marry, she will choose to get married to avoid trouble.

It was the first time they heard that a woman married to a man would be so defensive. Although the explanation made sense, it was a bit weird.

Especially since the Liu family is only a third-rank official, there is no need for the Su family to be afraid of the Liu family.

Unless, Tang Tuo took a careful look at Xiao Yunyi and overturned his previous guess, the Su family had more to guard against than the Liu family.

Xiao Yunyi somewhat guessed what the Su family was thinking, and the anger that had been suppressed not long ago rose back, but Tang Tuo was right, and now he can't target the Su family.

Then the Liu family, who wanted to rob him, ran into him, so don't blame him for venting his anger on the Liu family.

Tang Tuo did not stop Xiao Yunyi from targeting the Liu family. After all, King Yi moved the Liu family with more force than crushing ants, so it was not worth mentioning.

As long as it's not a direct confrontation with Duke Huai, that would be too troublesome.

It happened that Tang Tuo was there, so Xiao Yunyi directly handed over the matter to him, and the request was: "At the Qunfang Banquet, I don't want to see people from the Liu family."

The third-rank officials of the Liu family are eligible to receive invitations to the Qunfang Banquet.

Tang Tuo cupped his hands: "Don't worry, my lord."

Xiao Yunyi waved his hand and let him do it, and he didn't intend to mention the matter of the garrison.

After Tang Tuo left, Xiao Yunyi gave an extra order to his staff, "If Luo Lingchuan is not easy to kill, then kill some other people, and the [-] garrison this king must do!"

The aide's expression froze, "Yes, I understand."

Xiao Yunyi looked at the heavy snow falling outside one after another, and stretched out his hand to grab it. He didn't like people to oppose him and covet what belonged to him.

If someone touches it, he can only end them.

Everything is going according to plan.

……

outside the city, barracks

The snow outside the city was heavier than that inside the city, and it was also thicker. When one stepped on it, the shoe clappers were all submerged in the snow, and look at the day, there was no sign of stopping.

I'm afraid this year will be unclean.

Xiao Beihuai was busy all the time, apart from sharing the same bed for half of the night, he hardly saw anyone during the day.

Even the tent where Luo Lingchuan lives is full of people coming in and out every day, and he can be heard coughing from time to time, and Siyan even sent pear soup to him.

Su Jingqing didn't bother to ask, either walking around the neighborhood every day or sleeping with the big wolf dog as a pillow.

Among other things, he didn't do a single thing in this camp, but he slept very well. Well, he also read several books.

Su Jingqing didn't even want to go home.

But what he said didn't count, and a few days later, there was news from the capital that the second son of the Liu family trampled a man down in the street.

Ren is the youngest son of the Tang family.

After listening to Su Jingqing, only four words remained in his mind - kill two birds with one stone

Then he turned and went to see Luo Lingchuan.

Luo Lingchuan was reading the letter. When he saw Su Jingqing coming, he shook the letter in his hand, "It seems that the princess has received the news."

Su Jingqing didn't play around, and said bluntly: "The Tang family is the work of a military adviser."

Luo Lingchuan nodded with a smile, "Yes, I said I would give the Tang family a big gift."

He told Su Jingqing, "Originally, the second son of the Liu family was going to trample to death an ordinary citizen, so I asked someone to replace him. Now it happens that King Yi can punish the Liu family's crimes, so I can avenge the Tang family's poisoning."

"Is the princess still satisfied?"

Su Jingqing was naturally satisfied, anyway, those who were about to die and those who were already injured were not his own.

"Just be more careful after the military division."

Tang Tuo followed Xiao Yunyi's order to deal with the Liu family, but ended up hurting his own family. They will soon figure out the reason and turn to Luo Lingchuan for revenge.

Luo Lingchuan: "Princess, don't worry, outsiders can't enter the camp in the suburbs of Beijing today without the permission of the prince."

"What's more, it will be very busy in the future. The Tang family will not have the heart and dare not take action against me."

That would anger the emperor, and the Tang family couldn't afford the consequences.

"Is the princess going back to the city?"

Su Jingqing nodded, "It's time to go back."

He had to go back to the theater, to watch the play between the Liu family and the Tang family, as well as the lawsuit between the Tang family and Xiao Yunyi.

Luo Lingchuan's move was not only revenge, but also a surprise for Su Jingqing.

Su Jingqing thought, maybe Concubine Zhong Guifei's favorite candidate for Princess Yi might have to change.

"Then I wish the princess a happy watching and a safe journey."

"Thank you," said Su Jingqing, and walked out of the tent.

He asked Siyan and Xiangyu to pack up, and he wrote a letter to Xiao Beihuai.

The good thing seemed to know that he was going to leave, biting Su Jingqing's robe to keep him, and flicking his tail to please him.

Su Jingqing touched its head twice, it felt very good, and he was quite reluctant to part with it.

"It's a pity you can't enter the city."

"Stay in the barracks obediently and see you next time."

Su Jingqing thought, Xiao Beihuai was right, he really likes good things very much.

We set off at noon, walked slowly because there was snow on the ground and were afraid of slippery, and entered the city before dinner.

There are not many pedestrians on the street, but some voices can still be heard, saying that the horse in front directly stepped on the lifeblood of the young master of the Tang family. From now on, the young master of the Tang family is afraid that he will be inhumane and completely useless. .

"Yes!" Siyan said in the carriage.

He was even dissatisfied, "Why didn't he be trampled to death?"

It can be seen that there is a lot of resentment.

Su Jingqing laughed at her, "Don't be angry, I'm not angry anymore."

Si Yan shook his head humming, "No, he won't die, I will remember this grudge until he enters the coffin."

"Then let's go to burn incense later, and pray to God to let him enter the coffin as soon as possible."

Si Yan immediately said: "Two sticks, no, three sticks of incense, it's best to die tonight."

"Okay," Su Jingqing agreed. In fact, he also wanted Tang Xu to die sooner.

Hatred is something that can't be easily forgotten.
