People who think I'm ugly are so sweet

Xie Qingsu returned to the capital after a long absence, and after returning to Xie's mansion, he changed into an official uniform and entered the palace to report to the emperor.Song Yanche met him in the Hall of Qinzheng, routinely asked about the situation of Huaishui, encouraged him, and finally gave him a lot of rewards.Xie Qingsu thanked each other one by one, and the two of them looked like emperors, sages and ministers.

This time going south, Xie Qingsu eradicated a bunch of traitors in the Huaishui River, and proved Shen's crime of embezzling disaster relief money, which is an immediate great achievement.After he came out of the palace, many old people from the Xie Party got the news and came to visit him one after another. In the first few days after Xie Qingsu came back, the threshold of the Xie Mansion was almost leveled by them.These people have given the Xie family a lot of support in the open and in the dark. Xie Qingsu can't let them lose face, so he can only receive the guests patiently. Take the time to go to Xu Mansion.

When Xie Qingsu arrived at the Xu Mansion, there was an extremely grand and luxurious carriage parked at the gate of the Xu Mansion, and there were only a handful of people in the capital who could drive this kind of carriage.Xie Qingsu vaguely guessed something, and walked into Xu's mansion with Guan Yan, a steward saw him and hurried up to greet him, "Mr. Xie, why are you here?"

"I'm here to visit my uncle and aunt, are they at home?"

The steward looked a bit embarrassed, "Yes, it's just... Prince Duan is here, and Mrs. Madam is picking him up in the front hall."

Prince Duan's status is so honorable, so he came to the courtier's house with such great fanfare, could it be that he was only here to visit a sick person? "It's okay, you take me to see them."

The butler hesitated and said, "This...well, Mr. Xie, please come with me."

Before the Xie Qingsu people saw it, they heard an angry voice from the front hall: "Xu Taihe, if you are so vague, don't blame me for being rude!"

Xie Qingsu walked into the front hall, and saw Song Yanqing in black clothes standing in front, with obvious anger on his face.Xu Taihe knelt beside him, lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice: "My lord, please calm down, the dog's illness will be extraordinary, and it is really inappropriate to meet the lord. When the dog recovers, I will definitely..."

"Don't talk nonsense with me!" Song Yanqing's voice was as cold as ice, "I will say it again, I want to see Xilu, immediately, immediately."

Xu Taihe wiped off his sweat, at this moment he is really in a dilemma.If he told Prince Duan the truth, he would have disobeyed the Holy Majesty's will; but if he didn't say it, Prince Duan would be able to turn the Xu family upside down now.This is already the third time that Prince Duan came to the mansion to be an important person. The first two times he tried to persuade him to go back, but this time he might not be so lucky. "My lord is a noble man, if Xi Lu contracted a serious disease, this minister really cannot afford it!"

"Uncle." Xie Qingsu called out, and the two people in the hall all looked back at him.Seeing him, Song Yanqing's face became more embarrassing, and she said arrogantly, "What are you doing here?"

Xie Qingsu bowed and saluted, "Join the prince." Just now he listened to a few words outside, and probably guessed why Song Yanqing was angry.Thinking about it now, the Xie family stopped him from coming to the Xu mansion that day, and today Xu Taihe refused in every possible way in front of Song Yanqing, which really made people suspicious.If it is true as they said, Xu Xilu is suffering from an extraordinary disease, and taking precautionary measures, it is not in the way to glance at him from a distance, why would Xu Taihe take the risk of offending Prince Duan and not take him to meet people?Song Yanqing looked at Xie Qingsu with vigilance and precaution, Xie Qingsu looked at him without showing any weakness, "I'm here to see Xilu."

Song Yanqing's handsome face twisted, and he said meanly: "Master Xie has been back for a few days, and you have only come to the Xu Mansion now? I remember that when you were killed in Huaishui, Xilu rushed to rescue you non-stop. "Speaking of this matter, Song Yanqing's eyes became even more chilly, and he sneered: "It seems that you are only mediocre to him."

Xie Qingsu said calmly: "This is what happened before me and him."

"His business is the king's business!" Song Yanqing raised his eyebrows like a sword, and his eyes were full of anger, "You can't do anything for him, you can't protect him at all, and you still have the face to come to him? What a joke."

Xu Taihe, who was kneeling on the ground, was greatly frightened when he heard what the two said.So Prince Duan and Xie Qingsu are... jealous of his son?

Xie Qingsu, who was poked into a sore spot, suddenly darkened his eyes, moved his lips, and finally endured it.He knelt down on one knee, and Xu Taihe helped him up, "Uncle, Xilu, is he really at the house?"

"Naturally, it is there."

"I'm not some noble person, I don't mind being sick by him, and I asked my uncle to let me see him."

After hearing this, Song Yanqing said, "I don't mind either!"

"This..." Just when Xu Taihe didn't know what to do, Zhaohua, Xie's maid, came in. She bowed to the people present and said, "My lord, Ma'am said that she is ready, please let the lord and thank you The young master moves to listen to the rain tower."

Everyone was taken aback, and Song Yanqing was the quickest to react, "Let's go." Xie Qingsu followed afterward.Xu Taihe didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Xie's gourd, so he came to Tingyu Tower anxiously, and saw that the servants in the yard were all wearing white cloths on their faces, only their eyes were exposed.Zhaohua said: "The young master's illness will be extraordinary, lord, master, Mr. Xie, please tie a white cloth and then go in with the slaves."

Seeing this battle, Song Yanqing and Xie Qingsu's expressions became heavy. While they were wearing white cloths, Xu Taihe winked at Zhaohua, and Zhaohua nodded to him.

The three of them followed Zhaohua into the bedroom, and saw Mrs. Xie, Pan Huai, and Xu Anning around the bed. When the three saw Song Yanqing about to salute, Song Yanqing waved her hand and walked over.

The person on the bed turned his back to the window, motionless, and seemed to be in a coma. Song Yanqing sat beside him and touched his shoulder, "Xilu?"

The man let out a weak moan, and flinched inside.Song Yanqing frowned, "Is this the voice of Xilu?"

Xie explained: "People who are sick will inevitably have different voices than usual."

Blocked by Song Yanqing, Xie Qingsu couldn't sit next to Xu Xilu, looked at his back, and said nervously, "Xilu, are you okay?"

"Ahem...I'm fine, little prince and Qingsu no, don't worry."

Hearing that Xu Xilu's voice was inhumanly hoarse, Song Yanqing couldn't hide her distress, and coaxed, "Let me see you."

"No," said the person hiding under the quilt in a muffled voice, "I don't want the little prince to see me like I am now."

Xie said: "My lord, chickenpox is all over my body now, and my appearance is really...a bit unsightly."

"I don't mind." Song Yanqing pulled the quilt lightly, "Good boy, let me take a look." Song Yanqing usually has a bad temper, and rarely shows a gentle and considerate side. The ears of An Ning's two unmarried girls were reddish.

"Xu Xilu" grabbed the quilt tightly, "Little prince, please forgive me, I really can't see people like this."

Xu Anning said: "My lord, my second elder brother usually loves beauty more than girls. What he values ​​most is that face, so don't make things difficult for him."

Xie Qingsu couldn't bear to say: "Why does the prince have to force others to make things difficult for him?"

Song Yanqing sarcastically said: "Yes, you can stand aside and watch with nothing to do with yourself, but this king can't do that!"

"You..." Xie Qingsu looked calm, and his inner worries were no less than Song Yanqing's. It's a pity that he didn't have Song Yanqing's sharp teeth, and because of his identity, he couldn't speak out to refute.

Seeing the reactions of the two, Xu Anning inexplicably remembered the situation when his father was sick, and several aunts were competing to attend to the sickness by the bedside.

Song Yanqing looked at "Xu Xilu"'s hair protruding from the quilt, and compromised: "Xi Lu, don't be afraid, I won't force you. In this way, you will come to the palace with me, and I will ask the imperial doctor in the palace to take a look for you."

"My lord, it's good that the chickenpox just comes out." Pan Huai said calmly, "Moving the patient around at this moment will only aggravate the condition."

Song Yanqing had some impressions of Pan Huai. That day he and Xu Xilu had a meeting together, and it was this person who cured the medicine for them. "Are you sure?"

Pan Huai nodded, "My lord, please rest assured."

"Doctor Pan is fine." Xie added, "Her medical skills have been approved by the court, so there is no need for the prince to worry."

Song Yanqing struggled again and again, but decided to follow the doctor's advice. "You all go down, this king will talk to him alone."

Xie Shi and Xu Anning looked at each other anxiously, Xie Qingsu didn't seem to hear his order, and kept her eyes on the bed.Song Yanqing became angry when she saw this, "My king said, go down!"

Xie could only say: "Yes, my lord."

With Song Yanqing's identity in place, Xie Qingsu had to obey his orders no matter how unwilling he was. "Xilu, I'll come see you some other day."

Song Yanqing's face turned cold immediately, and her tone was serious, "Why do you talk so much?"

After hearing this, Xu Anning couldn't help feeling wronged for Brother Xie's family.After Xie Qingsu came in, he didn't say more than three sentences, how could he talk too much.

After everyone retreated one by one, only Song Yanqing and "Xu Xilu" were left in the room. "Xu Xilu, you must get better soon, you understand?"

The person in the quilt nodded.

Song Yanqing sat quietly for a while, blushing slightly, "You said just now that you don't want me to see you now, is it because you are afraid that I will dislike you?"

"..."

"Don't worry, even if you become a bastard, I... I will still want you."

"..."

"Also, can you ignore that Xie Qingsu?" Song Yanqing said irritably, "I really annoy him."

In order to let Song Yanqing leave earlier, "Xu Xilu" had no choice but to say: "Okay..."

Song Yanqing said pleasantly, "You promised me this."

"Yes, yes, my lord, let's go, or I will really get sick."

Could it be that Xu Xilu is so easy-going, Song Yanqing felt sorry for himself for not being able to make an inch of it, "Except, you won't look at other men much in the future, you can only have me in your eyes. If you don't promise me, I won't leave."

"Okay," the person in the quilt was almost crying, "I promise the prince."

Song Yanqing asked cautiously: "Then... you admitted that you are mine, right?"

"right……"

A burst of ecstasy welled up in her heart, Song Yanqing felt that she had said all the love words of half her life in one day. "Xilu, I really like you. Sometimes, I don't know what to do." He sighed, "Fortunately, you like me too."

"..."

After Song Yanqing left, Xie and the others immediately opened the door and walked into the house, "How is everything going well?"

Jiu Dong, who had been holding back for a long time, lifted the quilt and panted heavily, "My lord is gone?"

"Let's go," Xu Anning said, "What did the lord tell you?"

Jiu Dong cried, "My lord said too much! Young master, Jiu Dong is sorry for you..."

In May, the heat becomes stronger.

It was night, Xu Xilu was sitting with his eyes closed, when he heard the sound of the door opening, he opened his eyes, and saw Liu Jinzhong leading some young eunuchs in, "Master Xu, please take a bath and change clothes.

Xu Xilu raised his eyebrows, "Why, the emperor finally wants me to sleep with you tonight?"

"This old slave doesn't know." Liu Jinzhong said with a smile, "Master Xu, please."

After Xu Xilu finished bathing, a little eunuch came up to him with a bright red dress, "Master Xu, please let the slaves change your clothes for you."

"What is this?"

Liu Jinzhong said: "The emperor said, it's not the first time Mr. Xu is wearing women's clothing, so there is no need to be frightened."

Xu Xilu has always felt that although Song Yanche has a pathological attachment to himself, he should prefer a daughter.On the Lunar New Year's Day that year, he was also provoked by himself in women's clothing, and this relationship began.After he changed his clothes, he asked the maid to come up to put on makeup for him.He looked at himself in the mirror, his eyebrows were like distant mountains, his red lips were like tassels, and he was absolutely beautiful.Even Liu Jinzhong, who was used to seeing beauties in the harem, had to sigh that the second son of the Xu family had put on red makeup, and he really became a monster who turned all living beings upside down.

Xu Xilu stood up, swayed his hair up and made a crisp sound, "And then?"

Liu Jinzhong restrained his mind, "My lord Xu, this servant will take you to see the emperor. Before that, please remember, my lord Xu, that you will not speak a single word without the emperor's permission."

"Is this the emperor's intention?" Not only do you want him to pretend to be a woman, but you also want him to pretend to be a dumb girl?

"Exactly. Master Xiao Xu, remember," Liu Jinzhong urged, "If you are a little negligent, you will be disrespecting the order."

Since the collapse of the Shen family, all the men were exiled, and the female family members were enslaved. Only the queen mother and Shen Man'an remained in the harem of the Shen family.Empress Dowager Shen has been under house arrest in Fenghua Palace.Today is Prince Duan's birthday, the Holy Majesty authorized her to attend the banquet at Haiyan Hall.But in just over a month, she seemed to be several years old, her hair was half white, and the makeup on her face was no longer exquisite.Song Yanche sat at the top, and she and Song Yanqing sat on both sides.I saw her with a blank expression and dull eyes, as if she was indifferent to everything around her.

Princess Yide stood up holding the wine, and said with a smile: "My lord, my aunt would like to offer you a toast. I hope my lord will become more handsome every year, marry a beautiful and virtuous concubine as soon as possible, and let the empress dowager report her grandson as soon as possible."

Song Yanqing was concerned about Xu Xilu who was still recuperating at home. Even though it was her birthday, she was a little absent-minded. Hearing Princess Yide mention her marriage, she felt even more boring and said, "Thank you, aunt."

Empress Dowager Shen didn't respond much, while Song Yanche smiled faintly, "I'm also looking forward to a child like Qing'er."

Song Yanqing pretended not to hear, just biting off a piece of snack, King Ning's grandson, a five or six-year-old kid pounced on him from behind, almost choking him to death.Song Yanqing coughed again and again, Princess Ning hurriedly said: "Ronger, don't be rude!"

Song Yanqing waved her hand, indicating that she was fine, and hugged the little boy into her arms with her backhand, scratching his armpit, "Stinky boy, let's see how my little uncle treats you!"

The children's laughter made everyone happy, Princess Yide said with a smile: "Look, how good it is."

Empress Dowager Shen watched her two sons team up to destroy the Shen family, and it was impossible to say that she would not hate or be angry.It's just that seeing his youngest son Yan Yan laughing now, his cold heart softened a bit, and he rarely took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, the Ai family is a little tired, so I'll go back to the palace first."

Song Yanche nodded his head lightly, "The queen mother, go slowly, Shen Xiurong, you send the queen mother back."

All the princes and princesses stood up one after another, "Send off the Queen Mother."

After the banquet was over, Song Yanqing accompanied his elder brother on the way back to the Hall of Meditation. Song Yanche suddenly said, "Qing'er, I haven't given you this year's birthday gift yet. Tell me, what do you want?"

Song Yanqing smiled, "Brother Huang doesn't need to worry about this matter, I don't need anything."

Song Yanche nodded with a smile, "You don't like what Eldest Princess Yide said at the dinner just now?"

Song Yanqing said helplessly: "Brother Huang, why even you..."

"I have recently obtained a beloved woman, so I naturally hope that Qing'er can find her as soon as possible, just like me."

"Oh?" Song Yanqing became interested, "Brother Huang has a newcomer in the harem? Why haven't I heard of it——Which family's daughter is it? Why didn't Brother Huang bring her to the banquet today?"

Song Yanche bent his lips and smiled, "Baby, the rare big baby, I will definitely hide it well, and only show it to you, Qinger, okay?"

Everyone knows that today's Holy Majesty is not good at women, and since the incident of Concubine Xu Yuan and Shen Xiurong, he rarely enters the harem.Song Yanqing knew that he had high vision, but she didn't know what kind of celestial beauty could make him so tempted. "Brother Huang is really willing to show it to me?" Song Yanqing smiled, "It's better to avoid it." Now that he has someone in his heart, no matter how beautiful the other people are, they are indifferent in his eyes.

Song Yanche didn't say any more, Song Yanqing sent him back to the Jingxin Hall and was about to leave when he suddenly saw a woman in red walking out of the side hall holding a tea set.He guessed that this should be the new favorite of the emperor's brother. He wanted to avoid suspicion, but just as he looked away, he heard the sound of the teacup breaking.Song Yanqing subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound, and with just one glance, it was as if someone had cast a spell on the soul, and she could no longer move.

This, this is impossible...Xu Xilu was clearly in the Xu residence, and he even visited him yesterday.So, who is the person in front of him?Slightly slanted peach blossom eyes, a face as gorgeous as peaches and plums - who else could there be except Xu Xilu? !

The woman in red also looked back at him, with extremely complicated lights shining in her eyes.

"Why are you so careless, baby?" Song Yanche didn't seem to sense the difference between the two of them. He pulled Xu Xilu into his arms, his tone full of affection, "Did you get hurt?"

Song Yanqing's eyes widened in astonishment, what happened in front of him was beyond the scope of his thinking, he even wondered if he drank too much at the banquet, so that he had hallucinations - his most respected brother, and his favorite person ...

Song Yanqing's expression was like a knife piercing into Xu Xilu's heart.He finally knew what the emperor wanted to do - he didn't want people, he only wanted to kill people, this bloodless Ling Chi.Feeling that the strength in Song Yanche's hands increased a little, Xu Xilu slowly shook his head.

"It's fine." Song Yanche said softly, "Come on, I'll take you to meet my beloved brother——Qing'er, what's wrong with you?"

Song Yanqing's lips moved, "Brother Huang, he is..."

"He is my new treasure." Song Yanche said with a smile, "Qing'er, I am going to make him a concubine. What title do you think is more suitable for him?"

Song Yanqing clenched his hand by his side so tightly that his nails were almost embedded in his flesh. He managed to maintain his composure, "Brother Emperor, this person is a man."

"I know." Song Yanche wrote lightly, "Who said there can't be male concubines in this dynasty?"

"Brother Emperor!" Song Yanqing couldn't bear it anymore, his voice echoed in the empty hall, "He is mine!"

Xu Xilu's eyes turned hot, he never thought that Song Yanqing would do this for himself.He broke free from Song Yanche's hand, and just as he took a step, his arm was grabbed by the person behind him again.Song Yanche's face was still peaceful, even with a faint smile, "Your man? Qing'er, you have neither a princess nor a concubine. How can he be your man?"

Song Yanqing's eyes were red, like a beast driven to a desperate situation, "Brother Emperor, you know it all, you know it!"

Song Yanche's expression turned cold little by little, and he finally took off his mask of a gentle and wise gentleman, "Qing'er, since you can even give me the throne, why not let me have another person!"

Song Yanqing was stunned immediately, a chill gushed out from his heart, and gradually trickled down every inch of his body. "Brother Huang... do you know what you are talking about?"

"I knew that day." After an abrupt chuckle, Song Yanche said: "Since I was young, because I was weak, everyone of you gave way to me, and everyone of you took sides with me. When you are just sensible, your father, queen and mother will tell you, I am not in good health, so you have to give way to me and protect me. So no matter what you do, you deliberately lose to me. When you were young, you pretended to be playful and tired of studying, which made your father dissatisfied; An idle prince who doesn't care about political affairs... Hehe, isn't everything you did just to give me the throne for my father? Since you are so generous, why don't you give him to me too?"

Xu Xilu no longer cared about whether he was resisting the decree, and shouted: "Your Majesty, please stop talking!"

"Brother Huang!" Song Yanqing hissed like weeping blood, "Why are you doing this to me!"

"Isn't I treating you well enough?" Song Yanche said softly, "What do you want me to do? It's better to die early and return Jiangshan and him to you, okay?"

Song Yanqing strode forward, grabbed Song Yanche's dragon robe, and said word by word: "I don't want Jiangshan, I want him."
