Dress as a villain

Xie Lanzhi pressed her chest, she came out of Lanzhang Palace, and her heartbeat calmed down.

She didn't go back to Lanzhang Palace to sleep that night, she chose Jianzhang Palace to rest.

She needs time to think about her relationship with Si Qitong.In the past, in order to save her, she put on the identity of a lady and became her wife.what about now?

Before she knew it, she couldn't leave her.

However, the fact that Xie Lanzhi did not rest in Lanzhang Palace reached General Xie's ears.

They were all stunned, the marshal loved Mrs. Si the most, she would go back to Chenxiang Mansion no matter how late in the past, how could she be in Jianzhang Palace tonight?

But Xie Ji sensed an opportunity. He thought it was just a small fight between husband and wife, and the same was true for him and his wife.

This shows that the relationship between the two is very good.

Xie Ji said: "Wu Qiu, tomorrow we will also give Mrs. Si a big gift!"

Wu Qiu agreed.

The news of Xie Ji's gift made the Tianjing Xie clan explode.

Some people want to learn how to give gifts, and some people directly scold him for being flattering?This group of Xie's opinions on Si Qitong were polarized.

Xie Ji didn't expect that he would be targeted like this just for giving gifts. When he went to court the next day, he was directly splashed all over by the feces from the sky at the street corner.I asked for leave that day and didn't go to court.

Xie Lanzhi's mind is on Lanzhang Palace.

Si Qitong is a relatively introverted girl. The most straightforward and proactive time she took was when she hugged her and asked her the day she entered the palace.

After that, they all treated each other as guests, just like Nan Yu.

But now, when the little girl was confessing her plan to herself, she had already begun to take the initiative to... reveal her thoughts to her.

Xie Lanzhi's hands tightened tightly. In front of all the ministers, she has always been a diligent and dictatorial lord, but at this moment her mind is distracted.

The officials below have long surrendered to Xie Lanzhi. If Xie Shuai hadn't maintained order, the court would not have run so fast, and the various departments and officials would not have lived in peace.

Winter is drawing to a close, the Great War in the South is over, and the war is still going on elsewhere.

After early spring, Tianjing should also start farming.

"Report to Marshal." An assistant officer stood up from the table.

Xie Lanzhi came back to her senses: "What's the matter?"

The Xieguan said: "The adults have prepared the selection list you want."

Xie Lanzhi said: "Submit it, I'll take a look."

The coordinator held the paper over his head, knelt on the ground and presented it upwards, Xie Lanzhi looked at his standard feudal kneeling posture, sighed helplessly and accepted the paper.

She probably looked at the scriptures, and found that [-]% of the people on the list were related to the Xie family, and only [-]% were headed by Zheng Guogong.

Almost monopolized by two parties.

She asked people to retreat, and called Xie Guang again: "What, how is it going?"

Xie Guang clasped his fists and said, "The final general has executed the criminal who tried to murder Zheng Guogong."

"who?"

"This." Xie Guang didn't dare to say it in person.After all, family ugliness cannot be exposed.

Xie Lanzhi asked him to go down, guessing that it was sent by the Xie family.

Xie Guang left the palace in a disheartened face. He felt that he was a soldier who was sent away by the marshal.

Just as he was falling, an angry voice near the palace gate called him: "General, please stay!"

Call him?Xie Guang turned his head, and he saw the lively Zheng Guogong waving at him.

Zheng Guogong walked up to him, and asked with concern: "Why is the general so depressed?"

"It's okay to worry a little bit." Xie Guang said.

Zheng Guogong said: "If it's related to Xie Shuai, you might as well listen to me."

Then Zheng Guogong told him that Xie Shuai prefers to have people who do practical things by his side.People like him.

Then he gave him another invitation card, inviting him to his birthday banquet.

Xie Guang agreed: "Duke Zheng, let me wish you a happy birthday first!"

"Borrow auspicious words from the Generalissimo." Zheng Guogong clasped his fists and said.

The two passed by, one entered the palace and the other left the palace, and the scene of a happy conversation fell into the eyes of others.

Xie began to pay attention to the direction of the wind.

Gradually, they discovered that the anti-Tianjing forces' wind was blown by Mrs. Xie first, but it seemed that someone cleverly took advantage of this wind to control the home field.

Moreover, the public opinion on the Si family seems to be breaking away from Xie's control.

Even Xie Xia found out, so he specifically asked Jiang Jinshi: "This general feels that Tianjing has a strange atmosphere. I have never felt this way in the southern regions before, but recently I feel that Tianjing is not Xie anymore."

No matter how many people they have settled in.The strangeness is still there.

Jiang Jinshi described it for him: "It is the uncontrolled situation that makes the general feel a sense of crisis."

Xie Xia nodded.

Before Xie Lanzhi returned to Lanzhang Palace, Si Qitong ordered the palace people not to accept any more gifts.

She didn't go back to the palace to sleep for three days.

And these days, Si Qitong always jumped to the east window to enjoy the sun when she was eating, she looked at the sky and remained silent.

Palace people only like to watch the sunrise as their masters.

Only the court lady Xiaoxiu knew who the master was missing.Maybe it's His Majesty's empress, or the fourth prince who has not yet returned, or...another person.

Xiaoxiu doesn't know what happened between the master and the marshal?But since His Highness's appetite began to decrease, she guessed that the master was in a bad mood.

In the past, she and the Generalissimo could eat a bowl, but now they barely even have half a bowl.

Xiaoxiu wanted to share her worries: "Your Highness, why don't you serve hot porridge for you? I heard that the Marshal likes meat porridge very much. Your Highness can send it along with you."

Si Qitong turned his back to the person, making his expression hard to see, but his body froze.

She said: "As long as there is meat, she will like it. She is not a picky eater, and she is particularly fond of meat. There are so many foods, but she doesn't like fruits and vegetables."

People who don't know what to describe in these words, are they picky or not?Obviously, in Si Qitong's eyes, she was never a picky eater.

After Si Qitong finished speaking, she turned around and went to the sword stand to take off the Xijian, caressing the scarlet scabbard with her plain hand, a trace of warmth flashed in her eyes, but she quickly hid it.

She slowly closed her eyes, and then opened them again. Her beautiful eyes were cold, and the coldness that could not be concealed was like a blade light. She stood with her hands behind her back and said, "Go to the warehouse to prepare a big gift. Three days later, I..."

Si Qitong changed his words: "I will attend Zheng Guogong's birthday banquet."

Xiaoxiu was shocked by a cold and noble self-proclaim.

"Your Highness."

Three days later, Xie Lanzhi was sitting in the BMW of the fragrant car, and the beauty beside her was also wearing a pink and white long-sleeved women's palace robe, with the country's peony embroidered on the hem, which looked a little dignified.

She wore a high bun, black and shiny, with exquisite makeup, and painted with red cream in her mouth to make it a red that was more beautiful than the setting sun.Only the sword was pinned to her waist like her.

No matter how delicate her makeup is, when she pins her sword, she always has the aura of someone who has the power over life and death.

She goes well with light-colored skirts, but also with dark-colored ones.

It all depends on her mood to choose clothes.

Xie Lanzhi saw that Zheng Guogong's mansion was approaching, she took out a plate of still warm milk cakes from the food drawer and handed it to Si Qitong: "Eat something to cushion your belly, so you won't feel so uncomfortable after sitting for a long time."

Si Qi Tong Su pinched the fingertips of his hand, picked up a piece and moved it to her lips: "I haven't seen you for three days, so you don't have anything else to say to me?"

Xie Lanzhi opened her mouth to eat the milk cake, and she also picked a piece for her.no answer.Unexpectedly, when Si Qitong opened her mouth, she even sucked the finger that belonged to her milk cake, and then bit her silver teeth lightly, directly leaving marks on her fingertips.

Xie Lanzhi froze, she wanted to pull out her hand, but the woman in front of her stepped up her strength and bit her hard.

Xie Lanzhi's eyes instantly became deep, and there was still a trace of restraint on desire.

When the little girl let go, she quickly withdrew her fingertips behind her back, tightened them tightly, but said calmly: "Your makeup seems to be more outstanding than usual."

"It's better to use Zhang Yang to describe it more appropriately, or to say, Lanzhi has never known the real me." Si Qitong kept staring at her, his eyes did not hide his observation of her emotions.

Xie Lanzhi never thought that he would be stared at by her fiercely.No trace of emotion escaped her eyes.

She has experienced it before, but now Si Qitong has let go of herself at the right time. She has begun to show her sharpness, and she no longer needs to hide her features.

The empress of the original book is a complex character.Just one year of experience made her extremely untrustworthy. According to the original book, she might not even have believed in the West City Emperor.

She is born to use power and tactics. She doesn't need to do anything herself, she just needs to instigate others to act for her and achieve her goals.

This is the real superior, not someone like her who came out halfway.She can kill decisively and act resolutely.What's more, he will never give up if he fails to achieve his goal. He is a highly mobile character.

This is Si Qitong.

She took off Mrs. Si's canary coat, and put on a simple but powerful sword and robe.

Just like she had a trump card in Lanzhang Palace.

She pulled out her finger, and gently pressed her fingertips on her full red lips. Her eyes moved faintly, suppressing the emotions that were about to come out. She let go of Si Qitong and reminded: "Which one is you between the ancestral wife and the eldest princess?" Which one is not you, do I need to answer? When the question is no longer a question, what is the difference!"

"Once you shoot, there is no turning back."

After all, Xie Lanzhi straightened her body.

"Lanzhi is more cunning than I imagined." After Si Qitong swallowed another piece of milk cake, the corners of her lips slightly raised and commented: "It's still your honest answer, which makes me...happy the most."

As soon as the words fell, the fragrant car and BMW stopped, and Zheng Guogong's mansion arrived.

Zheng Guogong's mansion was full of joy, red silk and red lanterns were hung all over the mansion, and flowing water mats were set up on the street for the common people to eat with gusto.

Having fun with the people is a peaceful and prosperous world.

Si Qitong said: "Is there anything Lanzhi wants to say to me?"

Xie Lanzhi held up her knee-length clothes, she was just about to get out of the carriage when she heard the little girl's inquiry.

She fell into deep thought, pondering her intentions carefully.

explain?back?answer?

Xie Lanzhi figured it out and said without hesitation: "Fu Feng, let me watch a good show directed by you."

"What if I let you down?" Si Qitong's mood slipped slightly, and he seemed a little panicked.

Thinking of the result, Xie Lanzhi suddenly retracted her five fingers and clenched them into fists: "The butterfly can still break out of its cocoon."

"Just thinking about whether I will be disappointed in you, it's better not to do it at first, just wait for me obediently."

"I don't want to sit still and wait for death, just like my father pushing me away blindly. Anyone can push me away, but you can't." Si Qitong said in a low voice.

The voice turned back, the little girl calmed down, and smiled: "Also, what I'm waiting for is your words."

"Lanzhi, winter is almost over, but Kelanzhang Palace is still very cold."

"Isn't it cold in Jianzhang Palace?" Xie Lanzhi echoed.

Zheng Guogong's house, the housekeeper shouted: "Marshal Xie is here!"

"His Royal Highness is here!"

Zheng Guogong came to greet him with more than 60 family members.Xie Lanzhi's arrival made the government even more prosperous.Zheng Guogong is now the head of civil servants in Tianjing, he is valued, and others will naturally trust in Master Xie with peace of mind.

"See Marshal, see Your Royal Highness."

Xie Lanzhi gave her a little help: "Mr. Birthday, today is your big day, so there is no need to be too polite."

Zheng Guogong said gratefully: "Thank you Marshal for your kindness."

Immediately, Zheng Guogong looked at Si Qitong, and saw that she was still wearing a girdle around her waist, which matched the marshal Yebai, showing the martial arts style of the two. It has changed people.

Si Qitong nodded and signaled: "Duke Zheng, I wish the old birthday star good luck like the East Sea, and the sun and the moon are prosperous."

"Thank you for your congratulations, Your Highness. The veteran will surely live a long life." Zheng Guogong cupped his hands.There is something in the words.

Xie Lanzhi and Si Qitong entered the mansion, and countless eyes focused on them.

The Xie family also sent their juniors to attend the birthday banquet.

Xie Lanzhi and Si Qitong sat on the upper seat, and the Xiantao table in the middle was the seat of Shou Xinggong.

The birthday banquet was very lively. The troupe invited by Zheng Guogong's mansion performed a performance of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea to celebrate their birthday, and there were also different juggling performances from all over the world.Giving gifts and singing ceremonies adds to the joy.

Xie Lanzhi took a sip of the milky white rice wine from the wine bottle, and the little girl beside her also skillfully picked up the wine and wanted to drink it all in one gulp.

She stretched out her hand to stop her and said, "Underage is not allowed to drink alcohol."

Si Qitong blinked his eyes: "Underage? Does it mean to be crowned, or to be a hairpin?"

In fact, most of the 17-year-old girls were already wives or mothers in ancient times.

If it seems unrealistic by modern standards, she let go again: "Below me, you can't drink alcohol."

"Then I will abide by your rules." Si Qitong put down the wine bottle.

She also licked the corners of her lips, with a somewhat regretful expression, as if she hadn't drank less before.

Xie Lanzhi thought that girls in ancient times might mature earlier than she imagined.

The natural movements of the two fell into the eyes of the guests, and everyone dispelled their doubts.

A few days ago, I heard that the Marshal hadn't entered the Lanzhang Palace, and I thought she was tired of the former princess, but now it seems that the couple are just playing around.

In Zheng Guogong's eyes, he was happy to drink a few more glasses of wine, his face flushed and his blood was full.

He put down the wine bottle, stood up and cupped his hands towards Xie Lanzhi, saying: "Report to the Marshal! During the birthday banquet, I want to thank my old friend Mr. Hai, thank the Lord for clear rewards and punishments."

On the other side of the Xie family, there were a few people with wrong expressions. These people were Xie Yongxin's friends and relatives. Now that Zheng Guogong mentioned this matter at the birthday banquet, it was obvious that he meant to add insult to injury.But seeing his wine red face, for the time being, he just thought it was not on purpose.

Never thought.

Zheng Guogong's action was astonishing, he actually knelt down directly to Si Qitong, doing a royal salute, almost kowtowed his head to the ground.

"His Royal Highness, I thank you for your great kindness for Haiyun."

"The minister once surrendered to the yellow thief, ashamed of the first emperor, and even more ashamed of the eldest princess."

The good birthday banquet was disturbed by the host.Some people in the Xie family could not understand Zheng Guogong for a long time, and they pretended to be fake by drinking.

Everyone knows that Zheng Guogong voted for the Yellow Bandits, and now he votes for Marshal Xie. If it is good, it is a surrender, but if it is ugly, it is a fool.It is enough for him to have so many people attend such a birthday banquet.

However, Zheng Guogong used the reception to revisit the old court and old case, obviously with bad intentions.

A son of the Xie family got up and said dissatisfiedly: "Zheng Guogong, Xie Shuai celebrated your birthday, how can you allow you to lie here! And Mrs. Si is the mistress of the Xie family, please be careful with your words."

Zheng Guogong hiccupped, he got up, and walked off the stage to disperse the jugglers. His footsteps began to falter and run around, and anyone who saw him helped him.

"Thank you, Mr. Xie, where is my lord lying? Your Highness is Your Highness." Zheng Guogong suddenly waved his arm, turned around, and said to the Tianjing officials present: "You say, is my lord wrong?"

Tianjing officials seemed to be ready, they hugged together and said: "Although His Majesty passed away, the Eldest Princess is still here."

"Although Her Royal Highness is married to the Marshal, it is my Royal Highness."

"I don't think there is any conflict. If the princess and the prince of a country are still alive, all the ministers should respect them as kings."

The Xie family seemed to be prepared as well. Earlier, the Xie family and Zheng Guogong were at odds, and the court was bickering, and it is the same now.

Now the young people are also arguing: "Since Madam is the mistress, how can Mrs. Xie have anything to do with the previous dynasty?"

"Entering my Xie Clan's Ancestral Hall is a member of the Xie Clan!"

"You call him Your Highness, it is clear that you have the ambition to restore the former dynasty."

"Marshal, what Zheng Guogong and others said at the birthday banquet is clearly disrespectful to you, and even more disrespectful to Mrs. Xie!"

In an instant, the atmosphere of the birthday banquet became chaotic.

Xie Lanzhi looked at the people below who were arguing.

Si Qitong served her food calmly, as if the noise had nothing to do with her.

She doesn't seem to care what anyone thinks of her.

Xie Lanzhi let them quarrel.

The beginning of the quarrel between the two parties was a bit naive, it started with a title, and the title was a trivial matter, but in fact, the Tianjing official and the Xie family had been having friction, which escalated and broke out at the birthday banquet in a short period of time.Zheng Guogong deliberately provoked it.

"You should call her Mrs. Si!"

"How could Her Royal Highness be not Her Royal Highness just because she married into Xie's family!"

"I think you have wolfish ambitions in your heart! You are now courtiers."

"Mr. Xie's words are too much! How come the imperial family of Tianjing is still there, and the Eighth Jin Dynasty is still there. How can there be any reason for the later courtiers!"

"Then you don't take Xie Shuai seriously!"

"We are Marshal Xie's subjects, not the Xie family, and we have not disobeyed the Lord Xie!"

The two parties were arguing fiercely, when someone outside Zheng Guogong's residence suddenly announced: "The lord of the Seven Jin Dynasty—— King Li is here!"

Si Lei.Xie Lanzhi narrowed her eyes slightly, she saw that all the Tianjing officials looked excited, as if Si Lei was supporting them.

She couldn't help shaking her head.

Si Qitong picked up a piece of thornless fish at the right time, fed it to Xie Lanzhi, and whispered: "I provoked Si Lei, I will deal with it myself."

"It's just that you don't bother to remind me, I still need something to eat."

Xie Lanzhi opened her mouth to eat it, she swallowed it and said, "Do whatever you want, but your fourth uncle is very ambitious."

"Fourth Uncle needs someone to make an opening for him, and I'm just helping him." Si Qitong put down the chopsticks, she stood up and showed Si Lei the etiquette of the younger generation.

"I've seen your uncle."

When Si Lei entered the mansion dressed in yellow, he saw the intimacy between his handsome niece and Marshal Xie.I am very disdainful in my heart.

Charm the benefactor of the same sex, and win the son of the future.Thinking of Si Qinian again, he commented: It is true that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.

He looked as usual but nodded like an elder: "Long time no see."

As soon as the words were about to be spoken, the young man from the Xie family who was present deliberately reminded him: "Master Si, you are Mrs. Si's fourth uncle."

Si Lei frowned slightly, didn't he come at the wrong time?

He also looked at the blushes of all the officials he was familiar with in Tianjing, and the appearance of several young people in the Xie family who were about to roll up their sleeves to fight.No one came out to mediate.

The Xie family members believed that Tianjing officials dared to yell at them only because of the support of the Marshal.

The Tianjing officials thought that the Xie family's children were all vulgar and rude.

There was also Marshal Xie, who was in high position, she picked up the wine bottle and drank the wine, not thinking about it at all.

Si Lei's eyelids twitched suddenly, did he step into the pits on both sides?

Si Lei immediately saluted Xie Lanzhi: "See Xie Shuai."

Xie Lanzhi beckoned and said, "It's better to see it than to hear it. Master Si is not only Fu Feng's uncle, but also the uncle of this Marshal. There is no need to be too polite, just take your seat."

His tone of voice seemed to be the same.

Tianjing officials then argued with Xie again, Xie was not stupid, he became unreasonable even if he did something reasonable, so he chose to quarrel with Tianjing officials in public.

"Thank you for your seat." Si Lei looked at it, and he chose to sit on Tianjing's side.

The Xie family misunderstood for a moment, and Si Lei was indeed on Zheng Guogong's side.

Zheng Guogong poured wine for him happily, the glass was so full that it was almost overflowing, Si Lei couldn't help but remind him: "Zheng Guogong, are you drunk?"

Zheng Guogong put down the jug immediately, he patted his chest and said: "I'm not drunk, how could my Duke get drunk."

"King Li, you come to judge, is it the former dynasty or the later dynasty!?"

These words were full of traps, and Si Lei almost lost his grip on the wine bottle. He pretended to be calm and sipped his wine and asked, "What does Zheng Guogong mean?"

Xie Meixiang, son of the Xie family, took the opportunity to explain the cause and effect: "Duke Zheng Guo is arguing with me about the title of Mrs. Si. I heard that the ruler of the Seven Jin Dynasty is the ruler of Ming Dynasty. Since he is the ruler of Ming Dynasty, he should understand Dali."

"May I ask Mrs. Si, the mistress of my Xie family, or the former eldest princess?"

This statement is extremely boring and unreasonable.

Si Lei didn't even bother to answer, but it would be impolite not to answer because he was asked.

He said: "The lord of this country thinks that there is no previous dynasty for the time being, even if the world is in turmoil, all places use the end of Jin to call the year."

"As for the niece of our lord, since she is married, she is the mistress of the Xie family. There is no conflict."

This answer satisfied the disciples of the Xie family very much.It also caused Si Lei to make a small calculation, he now wants to prevent the concubine from being used by Xie.

Everyone at the birthday banquet has their own plans.

Tianjing officials were immediately dissatisfied when they heard the words: "What does the prince mean? You are the king of Li, so you are the prince of this dynasty. The eldest princess and the fourth prince are still there. As an elder, how can you not justify your highness' name!"

"It's really disregarding your reputation as a corporal."

"It's actually a confused master."

Si Lei was scolded by people from Tianjing.His complexion was dark.

Zheng Guogong took the opportunity to appeal to his superiors: "Marshal, since the princess has returned to Beijing, why don't you take this opportunity to show your attitude!"

Xie Lanzhi ordered Mrs. Xie to dismount after passing the gate of the emperor, and then entered the gate of the emperor with the princess, which had already shown her attitude.

And the Xie family also needs to climb up the royal family and get promoted.

After listening to the Xie family's children, they didn't have much opinion on Si Qitong personally, except for those who were entangled in addressing him.Except for those in the clan who were already dissatisfied with the mistress.

In fact, most of the Xie family are contradictory. They urgently need to build relationships with the royal family, and they are very wary of Zheng Guogong's restoration of the old dynasty under the pretext of making the Xie family marginal.In vain.This is what Xie does not want to see.

The Xie family is not afraid of Zheng Guogong, but they are afraid of Xie Shuai.

So deep in the conflict, there is only a fight for title, as long as there is no fight, it will be harmless.

When Si Lei heard that Zheng Guogong expressed his wish to restore Si Qi Tong's position, he immediately rang the alarm bell, and Tianjing officials also came out to petition like a wolf smoke.

The well-endowed birthday banquet has become a well-known feast.

"Also invite the Generalissimo to restore the position of Princess of Jin Dynasty!"

"Also invite the Generalissimo to restore the position of Princess of Jin Dynasty!"

The Xie disciples suddenly fell silent.

At this moment, Si Lei stood up on the spot, and he cupped his hands towards Xie Lanzhi: "Xie Shuai!"

Zheng Guogong immediately reminded quietly: "My lord, now is a good opportunity to restore the name of the royal family. You are the fourth uncle of the princess, why don't you help us..."

Before finishing speaking, Si Lei took a step forward and said to Xie Lanzhi: "Since my Jin family is a royal family, I will abide by the etiquette and customs first. I hope the Marshal treats the daughters of the royal family well."

He persuaded Si Qitong again: "Qitong, Tanlang Xie daughter, marry the dragon and follow the phoenix!"

This statement is clear!He objected!

All the officials headed by Zheng Guogong raised eyebrows and raised eyebrows.This person has no concubine!

Xie's children watched the fire from the other side.
