Xie Xiang

If she hadn't been summoned by the palace people earlier, I'm afraid His Majesty would really be deceived.Xie Yi couldn't help being funny, but she didn't expose her.Instead, I asked her about her studies recently, but she was puzzled.

Although Liu Zao hadn't turned over the bamboo slips for three days, she didn't even reveal any flaws. She calmly picked up a few questions left earlier and asked them out.

Although Xie Yi knew about it, he also explained it to her.

Liu Zao's love affair with Dou Chu started, she was quite uncomfortable, for the past few days she was happy but also worried and uneasy, she wanted to see Xie Yi but couldn't.Now that Xie Yi was right in front of her eyes, Liu Zao calmed down, her heart seemed to be filled by Xie Yi's every frown and smile, as if from now on, there would be no shortage.

However, the just-born "no shortage" is false.

Young people are so frivolous, but when they have a loved one, they can't help but just look at it from a distance.

Xie Yi was teaching her.Her speaking speed is not fast, so that Liu Zao can memorize every word, but she is not slow, unlike Huan Kuang who procrastinates every sound and is lethargic.

The elegant voice came to his ears, Liu Zao felt that his ears were itchy, and even his heart was a little happy, but the joy was not pure joy, but mixed with some commotion, as if just listening to Xie Xiang's lecture in this way could not make him feel happy. She is satisfied.

It's the first time Liu Zao likes someone, but he doesn't know how to deal with it.Fortunately, she is not a timid child, and she is not very afraid, but she is bold and spreads with the agitation of her heart.

She found that she really wanted to get closer to Xiang Xie.

Although Gong'e is far from being as beautiful as Xie Xiang, there is one advantage that she can be at her mercy.She could pinch her chin, force her to look up, give her orders, make her do what she was told.Even if she wanted to pull her onto... the bed, she could only obey orders and lie down.

But Xie Xiang couldn't.Xie Xiang is not something she can order, let alone be manipulated by her.

Liu Zao suddenly felt disappointed. After being disappointed, a clear thought came to her mind, she wanted her.

I want her to be happy, worried, and anxious for her, to have her in her heart, to be like her, to be as happy as she is just listening to her voice.

This must be too difficult.Xie Xiang is a minister of power, she controls the court and is unwilling to return to power.They have always been opposites.She didn't know when and what month she would be able to get her.

But Liu Zao is not a person who is afraid of difficulties.She glanced at Xie Yi again, and couldn't help thinking of the appearance of that Gong'e. Compared with the two, Liu Zao was a little annoyed. This annoyance was very childish. How could she think that Gong'e was five points similar to Xie Yi, they were clearly completely different Yes, Xie Xiang is much better-looking.

Xie Yi was explaining the little emperor's doubts, her eyes fell on the emperor, so she could naturally detect her emotional changes.She cast an extra glance at her.

Liu Zao realized that, just as he was about to regain his senses, he immediately realized that it was unavoidable to cover up.She looked at Xie Yi slowly, then lowered her head calmly, and her eyes fell on the letter.

Xie Yi smiled and said, "Is there any other confusion, Your Majesty?"

This is a difficult problem that has been solved.

Liu Zao was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he would reveal what was on his mind, so he didn't dare to speak, but shook his head pretending to be indifferent.

In this way, it can be regarded as making up for the lesson that was left behind yesterday.Your Majesty listened to this lesson absent-mindedly, Xie Yi didn't know, she looked at the left and right palace people, her eyes showed a slight thoughtful look.

Liu Zao was already perceptive, not to mention she was focusing on Xie Yi right now.

The queen mother can cover up what happened that night, but she can't cover up the fact that she hasn't studied for several days.If Prime Minister Xie didn't say anything, someone must have told her about it long ago.

She had to... find a reason for the abnormality of the past few days, so as not to be suspicious.Liu Zao racked her brains, but her brain, which is usually quite bright, somehow became dull at this time, and she couldn't find a reason why she could say it.

Liu Zao became a little anxious, she must not let Mr. Xie know what she was thinking.Yesterday Xie Xiang came to the future, she was panicked, and even felt that even if she lost the throne, it would be better than never seeing Xie Xiang again.

But in fact, she must not lose this throne.Regardless of committing suicide due to injustice, there is no Prince Wei and Empress Wei who have posthumous titles, and there is no mention of the righteousness of the Han family not to fall into the hands of others.Just the grandmother who is still living in the prime minister's mansion at this time has prevented Liu Zao from retreating.

When this thought came together, it was like a blow to the head, Liu Zao woke up suddenly.

Just now she stared blankly at Xie Xiang's beauty, talking to herself, she wanted to get him.In fact, what a foolish dream.

Except for the thoughts she shouldn't have, nothing has changed.She is still a puppet, Prime Minister Xie is still a powerful minister, and the queen mother is still waiting for opportunities.She also wasted three days, killing her ambition to make progress.

It's really stupid.

If things go on like this, she might not even be able to touch Xie Xiang's clothes.

She fell into the obsession with Xie Yi on her own, and woke up again on her own, her heart was both dazed and sober.Xie Yi's voice sounded in her ear.

"Your Majesty seems restless."

Liu Zao looked over and caught the concern in Prime Minister Xie's eyes.The concern flashed by, as if she had an illusion.She was startled, but did not answer.

Seeing that she refused to speak, Xie Yi wasn't angry, instead she became more patient and asked, "But is there anything difficult that can't be resolved?"

Liu Zao knew that what she said was nothing, and Xie Xiang would not believe it, so he nodded.

Xie Yi asked again: "What can't be resolved?"

Liu Zao suddenly felt aggrieved, but set his eyes on her, just looked at her, but didn't speak.

Xie Yi suddenly remembered that year, His Majesty was two years old and learning to walk.At that time, Emperor Wu not only missed Crown Prince Wei, and valued the child very much, but also was afraid of seeing her, thinking of the tragic death of the prince, he seldom summoned him, but occasionally asked her to visit him once or twice.

When she arrived in Yeting, little Liu Zao was walking unsteadily on her short legs. When she saw her, he stretched out his little hand to her, begging her to hug her.Those dark eyes looked soft.She was about to bend over to pick her up when Xiao Liu Zao stumbled and threw herself towards the ground.

She suddenly paled in panic, and stepped forward quickly, barely catching her.Xiao Liu Zao fell into her arms, her eyes widened in a daze, she hadn't realized what happened, and when she realized that she almost fell, her mouth deflated, and she was about to cry.

She hurriedly took out a box of cake bait from her bosom, and coaxed: "Hey, don't cry, eat cake."

When Xiao Liuzao saw the cake bait, she forgot the grievance that she almost fell down, tears were still in her eyes, but she grabbed a piece of cake with her chubby little hand, slowly put it in her mouth, and gnawed off a few crumbs.The cake is sweet, Xiao Liuzao likes it very much, and eats it wholeheartedly.

It's a pity that she has only teethed for a short time, and she only has four small front teeth, and she can't chew much even if she gnaws her head down.Xiao Liuzao became anxious for a moment, raised her head in aggrieved manner, looked at her tearfully, and didn't speak, just looked at her.

The look in His Majesty's eyes at this time is exactly the same as that at that time.

Xie Yi was very soft-hearted, thinking that His Majesty's abnormal behavior was due to a visit to the Empress Dowager, and suddenly felt that it must be the Empress Dowager who was wronged by her.She couldn't express the concern and distress in her heart, so she had to think of a way, and said: "I will choose a riding and archery instructor for your Majesty. If your Majesty is interested in the shade in the evening, why not go horse racing and practice archery, so that you can relax."

His Majesty doesn't know how to ride a horse yet, but he can sit firmly on the horse's back.She heard that His Majesty has been sitting on a horse for the past two days, let people lead the bridle, and walked in the forest, so she thought that she would like to learn to ride a horse.A child of this age, no matter how calm he is, will inevitably want to play outside.

She didn't seem too concerned on her face, as if she just said it casually.

After all, he looked at Liu Zao.

Liu Zao nodded and said, "Alright."

As soon as Liu Zao backed away, Xie Yi's face darkened.Someone took advantage of her absence to get angry with His Majesty.She boarded the car back home, closed her eyes, rested and thought.

The prime minister's mansion is not far from Ganquan Palace, within half an hour, Xie Yi arrived outside the gate of the mansion.She got out of the car, walked in front of the door, and was greeted quickly by a leader of the Eguan Bo.

This person's name is Zhao Jia, and she is a retainer under her family.

Zhao Jian's year was over forty, and his temples were full of white hair. He came forward, proclaimed himself a prince, and saluted him.

Xie Yi said, "Follow me."

Hearing this, Zhao Jia respectfully followed her and went to the study together with her.

He has been a retainer of the Xie family for five years, and he is regarded as the first person to follow Prime Minister Xie.After Prime Minister Xie paid homage to the Prime Minister, most of the guests under his door were recommended to be officials in the court, or sent to the county and country as officials, and most of them had their homes.I also asked him about his ambitions. After much deliberation, he realized that it would be more promising to stay by the side of Prime Minister Xie than to be an official in the prime minister's mansion.

Since the reign of Emperor Wudi, the Wei family has been extraordinarily law-abiding and respectful, and suppressed the younger generation to be cautious.However, right now, the Wei family wants to be proud and return to court, but they need someone who is determined to forge ahead.

Xie's and Chen's two clans are not prosperous, although there are talented people in the clan, they are far from enough.

Xie Yi could only count on the fact that she didn't have many relatives, seeing that Zhao Jia was willing to follow behind her, she also left him behind.

"How is Your Majesty?" Zhao Jia asked bluntly as soon as he entered the study.

Xie Yi sat down behind the desk, and continued to sit on the seat in front of her.Zhao Jia bowed and knelt down on the table.

"Let someone go find out what Your Majesty said to the Empress Dowager when she entered the Empress Dowager's palace three days ago." Xie Yi lowered her eyes and looked at the official document on the case.

In the queen mother's palace, I'm afraid it's not easy to inquire.Zhao Jia was in a dilemma, but he didn't dare to hesitate at all, and said, "No."

Xie Yi raised her hand and clicked on the official document in front of her, and smiled, with an indescribable sarcasm in that smile: "Liang Ji hasn't given up yet?"

Zhao Jia glanced at the other side, and based on the numbers he saw, he guessed that this was a transfer order, and he also smiled, and said, "I have tasted the sweetness of my relatives, so I want to extend this power down two more generations."

At the beginning of the year, Liang Ji wanted to send his fourth grandson to the palace to accompany the emperor to read.Your Majesty has reached the age of choosing a son-in-law. No one in the court knows what he is thinking about the so-called companionship.

Together with Sun Ciqing, Xie Yi suppressed this matter.

This transfer order was achieved after two months of hard work by Liang Ji.He transferred the father of his fourth grandson from Huainan to the prefect of Handan.This makes his grandson more prominent, which shows that he still wants to send his worthless grandson to the palace.

Zhao Jia saw that Xie Xiang was smiling and mocking, and wanted to obstruct this matter, but she seemed to just mention it and did not continue.Zhao Jia thought that Mr. Xie was a confidant and could be reused, but he still couldn't guess what Mr. Xie was thinking.

He tentatively said: "Your Majesty's marriage is often discussed in secret by people in the court, so it can be seen that everyone has their own calculations. Among the princes and princes, Liu Lang's age is suitable for His Majesty. It may take..."

Xie Yi glanced at him.

Zhao Jiadun felt alarmed and hurriedly lowered his head to show respect.

"This matter needs to be discussed in the long run." Xie Yi said.

As soon as Zhao Jia withdrew, Xie Yi did not intend to ask others to discuss matters.She hadn't closed her eyes for a day and a night, and had been traveling all night, so she was already very sleepy.If it is not good to take a rest, the body will not be able to bear it.

Every now and then, Xie Yi always felt that she was getting old.It's just a day and a night of running around, and I already feel a sore shoulder.She didn't dare to deal with it casually in the study, but went back to her dormitory, served by her maid, took off her coat, removed her hairpins, groomed a little, and lay down on the bed.

The bed was soft, Xie Yi's whole body relaxed.In her mind, she thought about Zhao Jiazhi's words.

Your Majesty, it is indeed time to choose a son-in-law.

It doesn't have to be Wen'er.Wen'er has a lively temperament, and seems to be a good match for His Majesty's restrained personality.But Xie Yi also felt that His Majesty might look down on Wen'er because Wen'er's disposition is too kind.A kind person will inevitably have soft ears. If a man is not firm, he may make his wife and children suffer.

A husband and son-in-law are people who want to live with each other.Although the emperor's family, I'm afraid they can't ask for a white-headed covenant.But it was about Liu Zao, Xie Yi still wanted to be more considerate for her.

She always thought that His Majesty would be able to do everything according to her wish, but unfortunately this child was a bit heavy-hearted.

Liu Zao didn't know that Xie Yi was already thinking about her husband and son-in-law, and he didn't know that Xie Yi thought she was thinking too much.

She didn't feel that she was thinking too much, she thought about it a lot.

Mencius said: "If there are few people, you will admire your parents; if you know lust, you will admire Shaoai."

But there is no sage to give advice on what to do if the "Shaoai" is too far away.No one taught her, what if the person she admired was against her.

Liu Zao thought about it for another two days, and realized that he should do the business well. If he could not keep the throne, needless to say thank you, his grandmother would be implicated by her, and the Han family would be dusted because of her.

On the other hand, the world belongs to her, so naturally Xiang Xie also belongs to her.

This way of thinking is really childish.Liu Zao vaguely thought that even if she could be in charge of the government one day, thanking Prime Minister might not be able to make her wish.

She is gentle and dignified, she is a prime minister with power over the government and the public, even if she is defeated one day, but her arrogance is still there, how could she be willing to make friends with her little child.

But Liu Zao didn't want to think about it.

Xie Yi really found an instructor for her to teach her riding and archery.

Huan Kuangxu is old. He was seriously ill that time and never recovered.Liu Zao happened to have a lot of free time. After two months of training, he was able to ride the horse steadily, and he could barely practice the arrow so that he could hit the target.

Ganquan Palace is located on a high terrain, and Liu Zao rode a pony for two laps, and suddenly felt relieved.More than a dozen guards followed closely behind, lest she fall off the horse.Liu Zao was wearing a Hu suit, the cuffs were tied up neatly, she turned it off immediately, with the air of a handsome young gentleman.

Hu Ao hurriedly brought a towel to meet him.

Liu Zao was sweating and sticky, she took a wet handkerchief and wiped her face, and said to Hu Ao, "Go back."

She got up at the time of birth, and came here to run two laps of horses, and it was not yet Chen's time.The sun is not too strong, and it is enough to run around again.

Seeing that she was about to go back at this time, Hu Ao asked, "Is your majesty busy?"

Liu Zao walked back and said, "I want to leave the palace."

Hu Ao was shocked, and was about to persuade him, when he remembered that neither Prime Minister Xie nor the Empress Dowager banned His Majesty from leaving the palace, so if she wanted to leave the palace, she could of course.Hu Ao asked again: "Where does Your Majesty want to go? I'd like to send someone to clear the way."

Liu Zao looked ahead and ignored it.

She went to the palace, and after taking a bath, she changed into a black toga, which was woven together so that the tentacles were slippery. She tied her hair and wore a crown, and hung a beautiful jade pouch around her waist.

At first glance, it looks like a Confucian scholar.

It's getting late.Liu Zao went straight out of the palace.She kept her mouth shut in the palace, refusing to reveal where she was going.Hu Ao couldn't figure out what she was thinking, but seeing that His Majesty was in high spirits, with a smile on his lips all the time, anyone could see her joy, so he couldn't help guessing that His Majesty was going to see the Prime Minister to thank him.

That time Xie Yi sent someone to investigate what the Empress Dowager had said to the Emperor, and after three days of investigation, they found nothing.This is also reasonable.If the queen mother can't even look down on a small palace, she doesn't have to fight with Xie Xiang.

It was only vaguely detected that His Majesty and the Queen Mother went for a walk in the garden for a while, and even drove away all the palace people on the way.I am afraid that only the Queen Mother and Your Majesty know what was said that day.

Xie Yi couldn't find out, and saw that the little emperor regained his strength, practiced archery on horseback every day, and didn't put down the slips of paper. He lived a fulfilling life and gradually lost his attachment.

Liu Zao rode the horse himself, took the reins, let the horse go forward a few steps, turned around and asked Hu Ao, "Where is the residence of Prime Minister Xie?"
