People who think I'm ugly are so sweet

After the two reached an agreement, Xu Xilu let Jiudong go to play in the street, and followed Xie Qingshen to the private room that had been prepared earlier to enjoy Huainan cuisine.There are many lakes in Huainan, which are rich in fresh river fish. The table is full of aquatic products, steamed, fried and stewed, with various patterns. There is also a large pot of out-of-season hairy crabs, which are orange in color and look very attractive.On the wall of the private room, there is also a picture of the autumn scenery of Huainan, which is light and lofty, subtle and unrestrained, adding a bit of wit.

Xu Xilu no longer restrained himself, and let go of his belly to eat. The delicious river seafood was paired with Qinghuilou's unique Tianchun brew, and Xie Qingshen, Bai Xiaosheng from the capital, told him about the little-known secrets among the nobles. Gossip, this is the first time he has been so happy and comfortable after time travel.

It's a pity that halfway through the meal, the steward of Qinghui Building came to report that someone from Xie's hometown in Puzhou came to see Xie Qingshen in person.Xie Qingxin was worried that there was something important to do, so she asked Xu Xilu to eat first, and he would come whenever he went.Xu Xilu ate a few hairy crabs by himself, but couldn't eat any more.Thinking about it, he has been dieting too much these days, even his stomach has shrunk a lot, even if he wants to overeat, it won't allow him.Xu Xilu simply pushed the door open and left, leaning against the railing to sober up and digest.

Standing at the door of the private room next door were two luxuriously dressed young masters, chatting with each other in not-so-small voices. Occasionally, a few words drifted into Xu Xilu's ears. They turned out to be discussing Xu Fu and Prince Yasukuni's marriage.

"If you ask me, it's a pity that Duke Jing's granddaughter married Xu Xuanying. Fifth Miss Lin is one of the top ten beauties on the Qinghui list." One of the young masters in Tsing Yi said.

"I don't think so. Xu Xuanying is the only son of Xu Shangshu. Xu Shangshu is highly valued today. He himself was in the first class in the scientific examination back then. Now he is working in the Imperial Academy. It can be said that he has a bright future. He was just listed on the Qinghui List Didn’t you also see his ranking, why is it a pity?”

"Brother Rong, brother Rong, you just came to Shangjing, and you probably haven't heard about the crap in Xu's mansion!"

"What happened to the Xu residence?"

"When Xu Shangshu was young, handsome and handsome, he captivated the daughter of Prime Minister Xie Heng's wife. Even though Xu Shangshu had married Mrs. Zhang at that time, Xie's daughter still insisted on marrying. The noble concubine of the mansion!"

"A concubine is a concubine, why do you say that you are a noble concubine?" The young man surnamed Rong said angrily, "The wife and son of Xu's mansion let them go?"

"The main family of the Xu family belongs to the Zhang family. Mrs. Zhang is old, and the Zhang family is out of date. What kind of troubles can there be? As for Xu Xuanying, heh, she is just a dead student with nothing to lose."

As soon as the words were finished, the sound of the teacup shattering suddenly sounded from nowhere, not to mention those two people, even Xu Xilu was startled.

"who?"

"I don't know," Young Master Tsing Yi showed a bit of panic on his face, "The guests on the third floor of Qinghui Building are either rich or expensive, Brother Rong, let's go back first, so as not to cause trouble to the upper body."

The two sons returned to the private room, Xu Xilu wanted to go back, but unexpectedly the door of the private room next door swung open, and a man with a knife at his waist came out from inside. "My lord," the man said, "my master is here to invite you."

"Your master? May I ask which family's son it is?"

The man didn't say much, just made a gesture of please.

Xu Xilu was a little uneasy, and then thought that this was under the feet of the emperor, or Xie Qingshen's territory, so there should be no need to worry about his own safety.He followed the man into the private room, and saw a cup of bubbling mutton soup stewed on the table, and a person was sitting beside the table, dressed in a dark brown dress, with open eyebrows, full of poise, just looking sideways. There was a bit of hesitation hidden in his eyes.

Xu Xilu stepped forward, stepped over the broken teacup, bowed and saluted, "I have seen you, my lord."

Song Yanqing said coolly: "You guys had a good time talking outside, why don't you tell me now?"

Xu Xilu hurriedly said: "My lord, I'm wronged! I was just sobering up in the corridor and blowing the air, and I didn't talk to anyone."

"Heh, even if you didn't participate in it, but you turned a deaf ear to it, let alone stopped it, you should be guilty of the same crime."

Xu Xilu: "???"

"But for Xuanying's sake... that's all." Song Yanqing nodded lightly, "Sit."

"Xilu dare not."

"If I tell you to sit, you can sit," Song Yanqing said coldly, "Why so much nonsense."

This little prince is like a dragon that can go berserk at any time, even though he is only 17 years old, he is still somewhat lethal to the current Xu Xilu.Xu Xilu sighed helplessly: "Yes."

Song Yanqing took a sip of Tianchunniang, tapped the table with her long and slender fingers, and said in an ordinary manner: "Xuan... is it true that your eldest brother married the Jingguo family?"

Xu Xilu lowered his eyes: "Xilu doesn't know."

Song Yanqing sneered, "It's spread all over the capital, don't you know?"

Xu Xilu remained silent.He really didn't know how to answer this question. Although the marriage between the Xu Mansion and Duke Jing was close to each other, before the two families got engaged, Xu Xilu really didn't dare to say anything. If he fell into Prince Duan's arms again, wouldn't he be skinned by Prince Duan to vent his anger?

Song Yanqing only thought that Xu Xilu was acquiescing, and endured it again and again, but finally couldn't hold it back.With a heavy sound, the wine glass rolled down to Xu Xilu's feet, and Tianchunniang flowed out slowly, bringing out a strong aroma of wine.Song Yanqing glanced over, "What's your expression?"

Xu Xilu said with regret: "Xilu is just pitying this good Tianchunniang... Naturally, he is also pitying the sincerity of the prince."

Song Yanqing sneered, "What do you know?"

"My lord, forgive Xilu for speaking bluntly. If my lord really likes my eldest brother, there is no room for turning around this matter."

Song Yanqing looked at him suddenly, "Say."

"Why didn't the prince go directly to the empress dowager and ask them to marry him and the elder brother?"

Song Yanqing lost expression for a moment, "Oh."

"Although there is no precedent for marrying a male wife in my dynasty, the prince can lead the way!"

"Xu Xilu," Song Yanqing said through gritted teeth, "What the hell are you? Is this what you use to lead the way?! This king must have drunk too much to tell you these things. Get lost!"

Xu Xilu looked earnest, "If the lord and the elder brother don't have the courage to break the boat, Xilu would dare to remonstrate——My lord, infatuation hurts my body! What's more, even if the lord is willing to disregard the worldly standards for the elder brother, the elder brother is not The prince is a good match."

Song Yanqing smiled angrily, "He is not a good match, don't you?"

Xu Xilu thought for a while, and said, "From some angles, I might be more suitable than elder brother."

Song Yanqing stared at him angrily, "Why don't you take a selfie in the mirror and see what you look like. Even if this king jumps off the Qinghui Building and dies outside, he will definitely not like you!"

"My lord, calm down, please listen to Xilu." Xu Xilu continued to persuade, "Although my eldest brother is kind, he is also affectionate and righteous to the lord, but my aunt is strong, and my eldest brother dare not disobey her even since he was a child. Unless the queen mother personally She will definitely not let the eldest brother marry... or marry a man. If the prince really wants to be a couple with my elder brother, the key is not what our Xu family thinks, but what the two in the palace think."

Xu Xilu's words made some sense, Song Yanqing gradually calmed down, and after a while said in a deep voice: "How is Xuanying recently?"

Xu Xilu replied honestly: "My aunt has been bedridden for more than half a month, and my eldest brother took care of her in a daze, and she has become quite emaciated."

Song Yanqing closed her eyes, waved her hand, "You step back."

"Yes." Xu Xilu withdrew from the private room. After closing the door, he let out a long sigh of relief. He didn't expect that although the little prince had a bad personality, he was just a stern young man. If he talked to him well, he would listen to him a little bit. .

When Xu Xilu returned to his private room, Xie Qingshen came back at some point, and asked him when he saw him, "Where did you go just now, I have been looking for you for a long time for my brother!"

Xu Xilu said embarrassedly: "I met Prince Duan just now and chatted with him a few words."

Xie Qingxin was a little surprised, "You can still chat with that little prince? I didn't expect it, Brother Xu."

Xu Xilu smiled and typed a few haha, and asked, "Brother Qingxin just left in a hurry, but what happened to his hometown in Puzhou?"

"It's okay, it's just that my uncle will come to Beijing to take up his post next month. He just left Puzhou not long ago, and he will arrive in a few days."

Xu Xilu was taken aback, "Then Brother Qingsu is coming too?"

"Naturally, Qingsu will enter Yushitai soon." Xie Qingshen said, "At that time, I will form a game, and we brothers will have a good get together."

Xu Xilu thought in his heart that your little brother like a banished fairy might not want to get together with me, but he still smiled on his face: "Definitely, definitely. By the way, I have encountered a little trouble here, and I hope Brother Qingxin can help me Do me a favor."

"Well, what's the matter?"

"Check personal details for me."

Before sunset, Xu Xilu returned to Xu Mansion.As soon as he stepped into Wen Qiuyuan, he saw several maids and servants standing in a row, receiving Zhao Chun's lecture.Zhao Chun was holding a cane in his hand, and his face was full of ruthlessness. He was a different person from when he was in front of Xu Xilu in the morning.

Jiudong watched from a distance, and said angrily, "Why does the young master want to call /chun so much? He is Aunt Dong's man!"

Xu Xilu nodded Jiudong's head, "It's because he belongs to Aunt Dong that I want to use him."

Jiu Dong became anxious, "Master, Aunt Dong is not a good person! Have you forgotten how she treated you back then?"

"Jiu Dong, think about it carefully, this Aunt Dong doesn't have a prominent family background like Mrs. Xie, and also only has two girls by her side. Why do you want to have trouble with me, a concubine?"

Jiudong was taken aback, "Why?"

"If someone really wants to have an affair with Mrs. Xie, who is that person most likely?"

Jiu Dong was confused, "Who is it?"

"Think about it again, in this Xu residence, who is most afraid of my mother, and who is most afraid of me?"

Jiu Dong thought for a while and said, "Second Miss?"

Xu Xilu sighed, "Dead wood cannot be carved..."
