Xie Xiang

Xie Quite really misunderstood.

Liu Zao was in a hurry, and hurriedly explained: "I don't. I really want to..."

She wanted to say bluntly that she wanted to leave Jiaofangdian with Xie Xiang.Halfway through the speech, he endured it abruptly.

At this time, the old matter is brought up again, which is different from the original anger.If she really said it, her heart would be revealed.She naturally wanted to tell Xiang Xie what she wanted to know, but it wasn't right now.She is still too weak now, if Xiang Xie gets angry if she speaks her mind, she will be powerless to end it.

The little emperor got stuck in the middle of speaking.Xie Yi waited for a while, but she didn't see her continue, and felt that what she said just now was superfluous.With their current position, it is reasonable for His Majesty to have killing intent towards her, and he cannot blame her.Why should she show her heartlessness and disappointment.

"Those words were meant to deceive the Queen Mother, not my sincere words." Liu Zao stabilized his mind before speaking again.Xie Yi looked over.Liu Zao's deep eyes made her heart tremble, she lowered her head and panicked, "I don't want the queen mother to think that we are very close."

This is consistent with what she thought, she should be more distant in front of the Queen Mother.Xie Yi looked at Liu Zao, sharp-eyed and noticed that the back of her ears was blushing.That place is very hidden, because she lowered her head to reveal it, so she can't find it normally.

Xie Yi suddenly remembered that seven years ago, she saw that Liu Zao had grown up and needed to learn how to read and write, so she secretly found a teacher and sent her to teach her.She is very concerned about Liu Zao's studies, but not as much as she is concerned about her body.Although she sent the doctor who checked Liu Zao's pulse when she was in the house on weekdays, but the doctor did not get along with the emperor and grandson as much as the teacher.

So since Liu Zao entered school, she asked the teacher to write the situation of the emperor and grandson into bamboo slips every day and send them to her mansion.Since then, she has gradually known Liu Zao a lot.She knows how many characters she has read, how many books she has memorized, what she has eaten at court, what her mood is, what changes have taken place in her appearance, and what her character is like, all of which are clear to her.

She had just become Emperor Zhao's confidant at that time, she had a small official title, but she had many things to worry about, and it was a hundred times harder for a woman to stand in the officialdom than for a man.But even so, she had to read the bamboo slips presented by the teacher every day in order to fall asleep with peace of mind.

One day, the teacher casually mentioned in the bamboo slips that the emperor's grandson has a peaceful and innocent personality, not good at pretentiousness, today he made a fool of himself, and his ears turned red.

At that time, even though she was tired, she still felt warm and thought that the little grandson was cute.

"In the current situation, stability is the top priority. The Queen Mother is jealous and capricious. If I get too close to Mrs. Xie, she will definitely make a big move." Liu Zao was still talking nonsense in a serious manner, but every sentence made sense. If she hadn't seen her red ears Yes, Xie Yi probably believed it.

After Liu Zao finished speaking, he looked at Xie Yi eagerly, and said, "Qingxiu's anger is all for the purpose of deceiving the Empress Dowager, it's not my sincere words."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Xie Yi eagerly.Xie Yi suddenly didn't know what to say, and spent half her life fumbling in court. She should be very good at dealing with lies.But today, for some reason, she didn't know how to deal with His Majesty.

Liu Zao still doesn't know that her life was planned by Xie Yi for her.She even decided to use the "Book of Songs" for her enlightenment.She knows her better than she imagined.It's just that she never said it.

It was impossible to say it in the past, but it is inconvenient to say it now, and when the situation is settled in the future, there is no need to say it. It seems to ask the emperor for credit.

But Xie Yi has done so much, never for Liu Zao's reward.

The door was knocked suddenly, and the maid outside the door carefully called out: "Your Majesty."

Xie Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and a servant girl walked in holding a cloak.This was Xie Yi's order when she returned to the residence, His Majesty's clothes were thin, she was afraid that she would catch cold, so she asked someone to fetch a cloak.The cloak is newly made this year, she hasn't worn it yet, so it is not rude to use it with His Majesty.

Xie Yi took the cloak, shook it off, and put it on for Liu Zao herself.Liu Zao was at a loss and stood there in a daze.She has grown up a lot, even a little taller than Xie Yi.As soon as she lowered her eyes, she could see Xie Yi's lips, moist and bright red.They were so close that she only had to lean slightly to touch them.Liu Zao swallowed his saliva and exhausted all his concentration, but he couldn't restrain himself.

What does Xie Xiang taste like?Must be extra sweet and delicious.She couldn't help leaning forward slightly, getting closer.The fragrance on Xie Xiang's body was as familiar as ever, but now it was like a drug, making Liu Zao immersed in it.She couldn't help approaching, and when the tip of her nose was about to touch Xie Yi's forehead, the cloak was tied up, and Xie Yi backed away.

Liu Zao suddenly felt empty in his heart.

"It's getting late, His Majesty will be returning to the palace." Xie Yi said.There is no mention of the phrase "get rid of it and then quickly" in Xuanshi hall.Liu Zao was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized that Mr. Xie didn't believe her, and she was issuing an order to drive away.

Qisi dissipated in an instant, Liu Zao said in a panic, "Thank you."

Xie Yi resolutely said, "Your Majesty, please come back."

She doesn't believe her.She still thought she wanted to kill her.Liu Zao was panicked, she grabbed Xie Yi's hand and said, "You, you don't believe me?"

"Your Majesty's words are justified, and I believe them." She grabbed Xie Yi's hand and tried to pull it away.

Liu Zao gripped even tighter, Xie Yi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and Liu Zao felt even more flustered, she didn't know what to do, and she refused to let go of her hand, so helplessly, she called out beggingly: " aunt."

The sound of aunt made Xie Yi's body stiff, Liu Zao seized the opportunity and said softly, "Aunt, just believe me once." She tried her best to restrain herself, but the words came to her lips involuntarily, "You are in my heart , is different."

After she finished speaking, she stretched out her arms, tentatively trying to hug Xie Yi.

She called her aunt, and was willing to be a younger generation, so as to dispel Xie Xiang's defenses.Xie Yi was hugged tightly by her, and the little emperor called her aunt again. She seemed to be opening her heart, and tried to speak sincerely: "You are an aunt, but to me, it is different. I know, I In your heart, it is also different."

The difference between the two sentences finally made Xie Yi relax, softened her body, and leaned on Liu Zao's shoulder.

Liu Zao hugged her, his heart was full instantly.

It's a pity that Xie Xiang's fragility is only a few short breaths.After a while, she gently pushed Liu Zao away and said: "Your Majesty will go down to see the old lady before returning to the palace."

He still urged her to leave, but his tone softened.

Liu Zao was reluctant to leave, Xie Yi smiled at her, the smile was weak but warm: "Go."

No matter how reluctant Liu Zao was, she knew it was not appropriate to stay any longer, so she nodded and couldn't help but say another sentence: "Qing Xinzhen."

Xie Yi neither believed her nor said she didn't believe her, she just sent her to the door and called a servant girl to lead her to see the old lady.

All in all, since Liu Zao saw his grandmother last time, it has been more than half a year since Liu Zao came to the prime minister's mansion.She went to the small courtyard, but there was no one in the courtyard.Autumn is chilly, the elderly are afraid of the cold, and it is nightfall, so they stay in the room and don't go out easily.

Liu Zao walked through the door.

Seeing her approaching suddenly, the old lady was also surprised, got up hurriedly, held her hand, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Liu Zao couldn't tell what mood he was in right now, he was delighted to be hugged by Xie Xiang, and also saw Xie Xiang's gentle and fragile side, but also sad that she hugged her because of his status as a junior.

"Grandson has something to discuss with Prime Minister Xie, so he came to the Prime Minister's mansion." Liu Zao replied, supporting the old lady and letting her sit on the couch.

She can't stay for long, and the palace gate should be closed any later.

"I'm coming to see my grandmother, and I'm going back."

The old man was very reasonable, nodded and said: "You are busy, so you don't need to come to see me. I am here, living a good life, thank you for treating me like the elders in the family, and there is never a shortage of food and clothing."

Liu Zao smiled, with warmth in his eyes.

The grandmother thought for a moment, and said: "I heard that you have frequently acted in the court, and you have already gained some power."

Liu Zao didn't lie to her, and nodded: "Yes. After these few days, the imperial party will still grow stronger." The matter of the imperial husband is coming to an end.She has negotiated with the queen mother, and the queen mother will free up some official positions to accommodate her people.

The grandmother showed a gratified look, held her hand, and said hello again and again.She stood up and sent Liu Zao out.The autumn wind was bleak outside, Liu Zao didn't want to make the old man tired and cold, so he hurriedly said: "There is no need to send it off. When the court situation is better in the future, I will personally come to pick you into the palace."

The old man smiled, with kind wrinkles at the corners of his eyes: "Okay." After speaking, he looked at Liu Zao's expression, and said casually: "Thank you, it has also gone through three dynasties, and you have meritorious service in supporting you. Although you love power , control the government, but there has never been any corruption. If one day, the government is returned to you, you should be more tolerant, and you should not pursue it too much."

Liu Zao was puzzled, not knowing why his grandmother would speak for Xie Xiang.Xie Xiang detained her in the mansion to control her. Grandmother should be very resentful. How could she turn around and speak for her?

But she didn't show any doubts at all, and smiled obediently: "Listen to you."

Only then did the old man pat her hand and told her to go back to the palace quickly.
