pamper you, make you bad
Chapter 24 (1)
Xi Yutong laughed after hearing what character Feng Yuyi had written.
"My lord, how did you come up with this idea? That Yao Xiaoliu must have been extremely annoyed by now, and regretted coming to my shop." She couldn't help laughing when she thought of the scene of Yao Xiaoliu gnashing her teeth but having to give money. , but then remembered something, her smile faded, "But Liu Qingying is willing to help you pay [-] taels of silver, this Liu family is really rich and powerful."
"Not only that," Feng Yuyi shook his head, "After this incident, the relationship between Yao Xiaoliu and Liu Qingying must also become closer, but I don't know if the Liu family and the Yao family have any intention of cooperating."
Xi Yutong smiled, remembering the fact that the Liu family found Feng Yuyi to cooperate in the previous life, and seeing the other party like this, he didn't know what to say.
If the Liu family really cooperates with the Yao family, it must be to support the second prince. However, Feng Yuyi won the battle for the throne in the future. Eliminating Yu Yi one by one means that the Liu family has secretly made two-handed preparations.
Both sides help, and no matter who wins, nothing will happen.She didn't care about political affairs before, and she didn't talk about it with Feng Yuyi. She really didn't know that the Liu family was still connected with the Yao family in the first place.
But she doesn't know, so it's impossible for Feng Yuyi not to know, right?Thinking of this, she also asked.
"You're right, this Liu family secretly sent someone to contact me." Feng Yuyi didn't hide anything, "It's just that after being rejected by me, he went to find my second brother."
"Why did the prince refuse?" Xi Yutong didn't know whether Feng Yuyi wanted to refuse at the beginning of his last life, but he couldn't figure out why he refused the Liu family's clinging since he had the heart to aspire to the top.
Feng Yuyi tilted his head to look at her, with a bit of coldness in his gentle eyes: "I am now a prince and have been assigned out of the palace, and my second younger brother is still in the palace. The emperor's intentions are already very obvious, and I am Why bother to do unnecessary things? What's more, the father is now in his prime, do you think he would want to see his son prepare forces to take his place?"
Seeing her calm attitude, Xi Yutong lowered her head with a complicated expression.
As the second prince and the "eldest son", Feng Yuyi has no ambitions in his heart, but because the superiors are watching, he has been holding back until the emperor was disappointed with the second prince and had to choose a new crown prince. Take off the concealment, and soar into the sky like a real dragon.
It was the same in the last life. After the two got married, Feng Yuyi took up the idle job, but he knew everything about everything and prepared in secret for many years, even her wife didn't reveal half of it.Therefore, when he learned that the other party and the second prince won the victory against the enemy and proclaimed himself emperor, and he became a queen, he couldn't react in time.
Presumably, he is just a pawn to cover people's eyes.She thought about this question for a long time in the cold palace, but she didn't have the courage to get an answer.
She recalled Feng Yuyi's vow to be monogamous and live together forever when the two of them drank a cup of wine, and then thought of the glass of poisoned wine in the cold palace. and desolation.
Seeing her like this, Feng Yuyi was inexplicably flustered, stepped forward and grabbed her wrist: "Yutong, what's wrong with you?"
Xi Yutong stopped to sneer, looking at the familiar face in front of her, tears gradually fell from the corners of her eyes.
Feng Yuyi panicked even more, raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, anxious and angry: "Yutong, what did I do to make you unhappy? Or should I reject this Liu family? Don't cry, Can you just talk to me directly?"
Xi Yutong sniffed, raised her hand and waved her hand away, turned her back to Feng Yuyi, took out a handkerchief to tidy up her appearance, put it down and said, "My lord, I just got sand in it, I made you laugh."
The gate is closed, and there is no wind, how come the sand?
Feng Yuyi knew that Xi Yutong had something to hide from her, but Xi Yutong didn't want to tell her, and he didn't want to force him, so he said "um", and then changed the subject, "My king said what word was written on the porcelain, so Yutong, can you answer me?" one question?"
Xi Yutong cleared up her mood and turned around: "My lord, please tell me."
"For the past half month, this king has been dreaming." Feng Yuyi said while observing the expression of the person opposite, "It's strange to say that everything in the dream is like a new story development. What did you dream about today? Tomorrow's dream is what comes next."
Xi Yutong thought of Feng Yuyi's later writing in a dream, and felt a little flustered, and quickly lowered his eyes: "My lord, my daughter said it was just a dream."
"I didn't say that I had a dream, but why are you so afraid, Yutong?" Feng Yuyi reached out and lifted her chin, forcing them to look at each other, "Why didn't Yutong dare to look at me? Could it be that she was afraid of my dream? What did you see?"
Xi Yutong frowned, seeing what Feng Yuyi said, she immediately tried to look at him with wide eyes: "The prince was joking, what is your identity, and what is the identity of the daughter of the people, it is disrespectful to look at the prince."
"Then why did you stare at me before?" Feng Yuyi laughed, "Isn't it disrespectful to stare at me before?"
"Let the lord talk about the good and the bad, so what can the girl say?" Xi Yutong took her hand, feeling angry in her heart, and knelt down directly, "My daughter Chao Yue, please ask the lord to blame me."
Feng Yuyi was only teasing her, but she became serious all of a sudden, and quickly reached out to help her: "I don't mean to blame you, get up quickly."
"Anyway, the minister made a mistake, the prince blames—" Xi Yutong felt something suppressed before she finished speaking, and then her vision changed for a while, and she was hugged by someone, so frightened that she said "ah" in a low voice, and then reacted When he came over, he thumped Feng Yuyi's shoulder angrily, "My lord, if a man and a woman can't get along, please let me down."
"Do you want to marry a man and a woman?" Feng Yuyi laughed, put her down, adjusted her crooked headgear, and then joked, "Since I hugged you, why don't I ask Father for his will and ask the teacher to betroth you to you?" Can you give it to me?"
When Xi Yutong heard this, she became anxious and knelt down again, "Please don't do this, my lord."
Feng Yuyi saw her resist in a thousand ways, the smile on his face faded, and he didn't hug her like he did just now: "Why?"
Xi Yutong took a deep breath, her mind turned quickly, and then she replied: "Minnv already has someone she admires."
"A person you admire?" Feng Yuyi knelt down and looked at the girl in his eyes. Her skin could be described as bullying Saixue. Her big bright eyes seemed to be thinking of some bad idea, but the anger in her heart was gone. " Then tell me which son you are from? Do you have a position in the court?"
Xi Yutong froze, looked up at the person squatting opposite, and replied angrily: "This is the private matter of the minister and daughter, what's the matter with the prince?"
"Of course it's none of my business." Feng Yuyi smiled lightly, "If he serves in the court, I will let him be assigned to that barren land."
Seeing her appearance, Xi Yutong felt less irritated and resentful in his heart: "What if you don't serve in the court?"
Feng Yuyi snorted coldly: "Then the king will give him a position, then throw him to a wild land, and give him a few wives and concubines. In short, you will never see him again in this lifetime."
Xi Yutong laughed from the bottom of his heart, but his face was still extremely cold: "Your lord's actions are too villainous?"
Feng Yuyi raised his eyebrows: "Not long ago, you called me a villain."
Xi Yutong thought of the other party's life-saving grace, and suddenly had nothing to say.
Feng Yuyi asked: "Why didn't you speak?"
Xi Yutong lowered her eyes: "Your servant has nothing to say."
Feng Yuyi choked suddenly.
Xi Yutong said again: "If the lord is fine, the servant girl will go ahead. The servant girl has been out for a long time today, and the father will probably—"
"Yutong doesn't want to know what I dreamed about?" Feng Yuyi interrupted her, "Do you think it's strange, I dream about you every day, what do you think is the reason?"
Xi Yutong raised her head subconsciously, her heart skipped a beat when she met the blazing fire in Shang Feng Yuyi's eyes.
"My lord." Although Xi Yutong couldn't see his face clearly, he knew it was terrible. He supported the chair next to him and said, "Meng is just a coincidence."
"Coincidence?" Feng Yuyi shook his head. Seeing her like this, he felt that the dream was not simple. "It is said that I think about it every day and dream at night. You mean that I missed you so much in the past that I could dream of it every day." you."
Xi Yutong was dumbfounded, her formerly flexible mind couldn't move at this moment, and could only listen to each other's every word.
"What's amazing is that I dreamed about our initial scene, and the things ahead are the same as our reality." Feng Yuyi looked at her with a gentle expression, "But the difference is that half a month ago, you came to my house and went back After contracting a cold for a few days, my attitude toward me changed."
Xi Yutong pulled her heart together, and quickly lowered her head in order not to let the other party see the difference, "My lord, what's the difference?"
"In the dream, our relationship was not as stiff as it is now. Every day gets better." Feng Yuyi lowered his voice, "I also dreamed that we didn't follow Yu Yao to the temple, which caused her... because of this However, Concubine Bi's condition worsened and she couldn't survive the New Year, and then Yu Yao also passed away."
If Xi Yutong was lucky before, she is really panicking now.After all, what Feng Yuyi was talking about was completely about the events of his previous life, otherwise the other party would not have mentioned the incident involving Feng Yuyao's burning incense and worshiping Buddha.
Feng Yuyi thought it was absurd at first, but thinking about that accident, if they hadn't refused to follow the past, what happened to Feng Yuyao might very well be the same as the outcome in her dream.This is also the case, and she felt that this matter did not happen out of nothing.
Seeing Xi Yutong like this, Feng Yuyi bent down and cupped his face with his hands: "Yutong, do you know something?"
The two were so close that Xi Yutong could even feel the other's breath spraying on the skin.
Xi Yutong knew that the matter of rebirth was too strange, even his father never mentioned it, let alone mentioned it to Feng Yuyi.
She closed her eyes, her mind turned quickly, and finally made a decision, she opened her eyes just now, she didn't avoid it, but looked at Feng Yuyi, and asked back: "My lord, where are you dreaming now?"
Feng Yuyi was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, the corners of his mouth twitched.
"My lord dreamed that we got married after the next year, and we got married in three months after you reach Ji." Feng Yuyi recalled yesterday's dream, and he couldn't help but smile on his face, "We will pay homage to get married and have a cup of wine. If there is no accident , the next will naturally be the wedding night in the bridal chamber."
The two met when Xi Yutong was 13 years old, now he is 14 years old, and they got married at 15 years old. Feng Yuyi's words are equivalent to saying that she had dreamed about something for more than a year in half a month.At this rate, it would take about a month to dream about everything from her previous life until her death.
Thinking of this, Xi Yutong couldn't sit still.
"Yutong, what I dreamed is not fake, right?" Feng Yuyi has been watching her expression, holding her arms, "You also know everything I dreamed, right? Do you also do it? Had a similar dream?"
Xi Yutong's eyes flickered, but he was vague: "Almost."
Hearing what she said, Feng Yuyi couldn't understand: "Since you know that we will be together in the future, why are you so indifferent to me?"
"Because I know what will happen to you in the future." Xi Yutong looked at the innocent face in front of him and sneered, "I'm afraid the lord doesn't know, but I was caught by me...the one who made an appointment with me to grow old together, and wanted to be a couple with me for the rest of my life." You were poisoned to death with a glass of poisoned wine."
Feng Yuyi looked at Xi Yutong's hateful eyes, subconsciously took two steps back, shook his head frantically, covered his head and tried to think about the next thing, but it was useless, he could only retort palely: "Impossible. I won't. "
"No, you will." Xi Yutong took a deep breath, the hatred from the previous life could no longer be restrained, she got up and walked towards Feng Yuyi, every word seemed to be pierced into the opponent's heart, "I am in that cold palace, welcome After hearing the news of my father’s tragic death in prison, I welcome you a glass of poisoned wine.”
Feng Yuyi's lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to refute Xi Yutong's words, but seeing Xi Yutong's resentful and extremely sad appearance, he didn't refute anything, and stepped forward to hug him: "I'm sorry."
When Xi Yutong thought about the events of his previous life, the resentment in his heart spread like a vine, he gritted his teeth and said: "My father supported you to become the thorn in the side of those remaining parties, why did you just rely on the evidence fabricated by others? He's in jail?"
Thinking of her father's appearance, she suddenly pushed the person in front of her away. If the hatred in her eyes could turn into a knife to kill people, Feng Yuyi would have been hacked to pieces long ago, "If it weren't for your incompetence, my father would not have been in prison, let alone will not die tragically in prison."
Thinking that he would not even see his father for the last time, Xi Yutong couldn't stop the tears in his eyes, and sat limply on the ground, his body trembling with anger and resentment.
Facing Xi Yutong's accusation, Feng Yuyi's clever mind in the past couldn't find anything to refute.She didn't dream of what happened next, but only dreamed that the two were in love, so she was troubled by Xi Yutong's indifference in the past.
It is impossible for Xi Yutong to curse her father, let alone fabricate it out of thin air, which means that what is said is true.Feng Yuyi firmly believes that he will not hurt Xi Yutong, but Xi Yutong's vow does not seem to be a lie.No matter what, at least it has something to do with her, otherwise Xi Yutong wouldn't hate her so much.
Feng Yuyi walked back and forth, trying to calm himself down, and said distressedly: "Yutong, there must be some misunderstanding."
"Even if it was a misunderstanding, it is an indisputable fact that my father died tragically and I was given a glass of poisoned wine by you." Xi Yutong took a deep breath, "My lord, do you think I will be with someone who killed my father and my enemy? Will I also fall in love with a poisonous wine?" Kill your own people?"
Feng Yuyi subconsciously shook his head, knelt down and grabbed her arms, trying to make her see the sincerity in her eyes: "I will not kill the teacher, let alone poison you to death."
Xi Yutong broke away from her hand: "My lord, people's hearts are unpredictable, I only know what it means not to repeat the same mistakes."
After venting out, she felt much better in her heart. She stood up with the chair next to her, and returned to her previous indifference, and shrunk down to her: "My lord, if you have nothing to do in the future, don't come to my courtier's daughter. The courtier's daughter can't bear it." .”
Feng Yuyi saw her like this, subconsciously grabbed her arm: "Don't you want to know how I don't dream?"
Xi Yutong paused, then shook her head: "My lord, what kind of dream you have, what kind of dream you have, is your business, and has nothing to do with your daughter."
"If I say it's related to you." Feng Yuyi said quickly, "As long as I see you once, I won't dream about the later things at night. As long as I don't see you that day, I will dream about the later things. "
Xi Yutong really didn't think that there was such a limiting factor in it.
"Whether you believe it or not, I believe that I will not do anything to hurt the teacher and you. I don't know how to explain the teacher, but someone must have framed you for that glass of poisoned wine." Feng Yuyi was worried that she would not Believe it, raise your hand and swear, "I swear in the name of my mother and concubine, if you violate this word, the sky will be struck by lightning."
Xi Yutong knew that to Feng Yuyi, the concubine who died young was a taboo, but he didn't expect that the other party would swear on her, his heart moved, but then he shook his head.
"My lord, even if the poisoned wine was given by someone else in your name, what about my father?" Xi Yutong sighed, "My lord, the dream is different now, you don't need to be affected by it, don't take it to heart." After finishing speaking, she passed the other party and walked towards the store entrance.
Feng Yuyi subconsciously said, "What if I experienced it myself?"
Xi Yutong paused, but still didn't look back: "If it's a personal experience, it won't just be dreaming intermittently, but knowing everything at once."
Feng Yuyi watched her leaving back, subconsciously followed.
"My lord, Miss." Xiao He and An Er were guarding the door, seeing them finally come out, they hurried forward.
Xiaotao supported Xi Yutong and found something wrong: "Miss, why are you so pale? But what's wrong?"
Xiaohe subconsciously looked at the prince, seeing the other party's expression in a trance, guessing that the two had a dispute inside, she quickly shook her head at Xiaotao, and then said: "Miss, you and Xiaotao go back first, I will take care of the rest of the accounts." .”
Xi Yutong's thoughts were confused by Feng Yuyi, and now she is not in the mood, so she begged Xiaohe for a few words, and then got on the sedan chair and went back.From coming out to getting on the sedan chair, Feng Yuyi was completely ignored, as if this person didn't exist.
Feng Yuyi knew the reason why Xi Yutong was avoiding her, so he didn't want to be too hasty, so he ordered Xiaohe to leave with An Er.
As soon as Xi Yutong returned to the Grand Master's Mansion, a maid came over and said that the master asked her to go to the study.
Xi Yutong responded, and then looked at Xiaotao: "Xiaotao, are my eyes still red and swollen?"
Xiaotao stared at it for a while, then shook her head: "It's just some red threads, you won't see it if you pay attention, don't worry, miss."
Xi Yutong followed the maid who sent the message to the study.
She knocked on the door, but got no response, so she pushed the door open and went in, and saw that the floor was covered with paintings. When she looked up again, she saw Xi Hongbo was drawing with his head down, concentrating on painting.
Seeing the paintings about her mother on the ground, she picked them up with a smile, put them away carefully, and then went to see her father painting.
Seeing the back of the woman in the painting, Xi Yutong knew it was her mother, so she quietly stood beside her without making a sound.
A cup of tea passed by, Xi Hongbo finished painting, looked up and found Xi Yutong standing beside him, and immediately smiled: "Why don't you say anything when you're here."
Xi Yutong lowered her eyes and smiled lightly: "I knocked on the door and came in just now, but my father was too focused and didn't hear it."
"Let's not talk about that." Xi Hongbo waved his hand and told her to come over, "Come and see how the painting is doing."
Before Xi Yutong could remember, her mother had passed away, so she had never seen her face, but only learned what her mother looked like from his father's paintings and descriptions.
Although the painting is from the back, judging from the way she caresses the child next to her, she must be a very kind mother.
She stretched out her hand to touch the woman's back, and the mood that was disturbed by Feng Yuyi was immediately calmed down, and the corners of her lips curled up inadvertently: "Father's painting skills are getting better and better, but didn't my father always draw mothers?" The front, why did you draw the back this time?"
"Thinking about it carefully, it has been more than ten years since your mother passed away."
Xi Hongbo touched the portrait with a gentle expression: "I was worried about forgetting your mother for my father, and I have to paint a picture every day, but when I woke up this afternoon and wanted to paint, I couldn't remember your mother's appearance clearly. I should find out I just remembered the previous portraits."
Xi Yutong didn't look at his father so closely in the past, but now he saw some wrinkles on his father's face, and even a few white hairs on his head, his eyes were moist, and he comforted softly: "Father is just too tired. Because, maybe tomorrow will be able to remember."
Xi Hongbo shook his head, pressed the two corners of the painting carefully, and replied: "That is the best, but I am afraid that one day I will really forget your mother's appearance, and I will not be able to recognize your mother when I meet her below. That would break your mother's heart."
"Father is only thirty-two now, and he is in the prime of life, why should he say such words to hurt my daughter's heart?" Xi Yutong subconsciously clenched her hands, "If father is not here, what is the meaning of a daughter in this world, why not be with you together?" The mother will gather below."
Xi Hongbo looked up at her, "You're only thirteen, and you still have a lot of time, so what are you talking about?"
Xi Yutong was worried that his father would see something strange, so he quickly lowered his eyes: "Then don't say anything about father, go down and meet with mother, don't you still have a lot of time?"
"We are different." Xi Hongbo laughed.
"We are the same." Xi Yutong recalled that his father was imprisoned and then committed suicide in his previous life, and grabbed his arm suddenly, with a serious face, "Father, can you promise your daughter?"
Xi Hongbo shook his head: "You say."
"No matter what happens, don't have the idea of committing suicide, let alone go down and get together with your mother." Xi Yutong's eyes began to flush, "Father, my daughter has no other demands, so you just agree to this matter?"
Xi Hongbo frowned: "Yutong, what happened today, there seems to be something wrong with you."
Xi Yutong bit her lower lip, raised her hand to wipe away the tears in her eyes, and said with a choked voice, "My daughter dreamed of her father, and her father left her daughter to reunite with her mother."
Xi Hongbo thought it was a big event, but he didn't expect it to be just a dream, so he couldn't laugh or cry, "You say it's a dream, so it can't be real."
"My daughter doesn't care." Xi Yutong shook his head, "Father, just promise your daughter, okay?"
Xi Hongbo didn't take it to heart at first, but was tortured by Xi Yutong, so he could only accept it in the end.
Xi Yutong was worried, and added: "Then you swear, in the name of mother."
Xi Hongbo frowned, but when he saw his daughter saying "I can't do without a vow", and he felt that he was also a life-saving person, he nodded and raised his hand to swear: "I, Xi Hongbo, swear in the name of my beloved wife that no matter what happens in the future, I will never Suicide, if you break this oath—" He glanced at his daughter before continuing, "Curse me not to get together with my beloved wife when I go down here."
Only then did Xi Yutong breathe a sigh of relief, "Father, this matter concerns mother, you must not forget it."
Xi Hongbo put down his hands and glanced at her sullenly: "Being a father is not so old that you forget things."
Xi Yutong also knew that it was wrong for him to ask his father to swear by his mother, but his father cared most about his mother, and he often talked about reuniting with his mother underground when he was gone.When it came to his mother, even she had to be sidelined. If he really wanted his father to commit suicide, he could only swear on his mother.
Interrupted by her, Xi Hongbo's melancholy of not being able to remember his wife disappeared. When he remembered the business, he said directly: "Prime Minister Yao's second daughter came to see me this afternoon."
Xi Yutong was taken aback for a moment, and realized that Yao Xiaoliu was not willing to accept the 6000 taels. He probably found his father and came here, so he straightened up and nodded.
"Father believes that you have your reasons for doing things, and I don't want to ask too much, but you and Prince Yi cheated her together. In their eyes, you are a member of the eldest prince's faction, do you know?" Xi Hongbo said. .
Xi Yutong didn't think about this, and asked subconsciously: "Did the daughter implicate the father?" She knew that her father was a pro-imperial faction in the previous life, and she supported Feng Yuyi later because she became Yi Wangfei.
Xi Hongbo shook his head: "It is well known that my father is a pro-imperialist party. What you have done today, from the outside, it seems that our father and daughter are at odds."
Xi Yutong lowered her head in shame: "It's my daughter who was reckless."
"My father called you here, not to accuse you of being reckless or anything else, but to know what you mean." Xi Hongbo said, "In the past, you liked to run to Prince Yi's mansion the most, and you even teased me by saying that you wanted to be a chess player. Wangfei, you have been preparing for the store for the past half month, but have you really let go of Prince Yi?"
Xi Yutong paused, then nodded.
"That's good." Xi Hongbo glanced at her, shook his head, and asked again, "Then what do you think of the second prince?"
Xi Yutong frowned subconsciously, and there was even a bit of disgust between his brows: "Why does father ask such a question?"
"Your Majesty invited me into the palace today, meaning that he intends to betroth you to Prince Yi." Xi Hongbo kept looking at her expression while speaking, seeing that she was not surprised, but was puzzled in his heart, "You know about this?"
Xi Yutong shook her head quickly: "No. My daughter is just a little confused about why His Majesty made such a decision?"
"Male colleges should be married, and female colleges should be married." Xi Hongbo took her hand, "Now you are thirteen, you have to settle down first, and you can still prepare for more than a year, and you will be married when you reach the age. According to His Majesty, if you don't If you like Prince Yi, you can also consider the second prince, but the second prince has already appointed Prime Minister Yao's eldest daughter as the main concubine, if you marry, you can only be a side concubine, and you will be wronged."
Xi Yutong shook his head: "Father, my daughter doesn't want to marry the second prince. Although the second prince is good, he is a bit arrogant, and my daughter is not willing to give in. If she gets married, she will definitely fall out of favor."
It's not just a little arrogant, it's almost defiant.
Thinking of the increasingly sharp words of the second prince in the court recently, Xi Hongbo agreed with her opinion: "Don't worry, you have already rejected His Majesty's kindness as a father. But your marriage is uncertain for a day, so His Majesty's thoughts will not go away for a day. You'd better find a Ruyi Langjun quickly and settle the marriage, then His Majesty's mind will be relieved."
Xi Yutong frowned: "Father, is it true that a daughter can't stay with her father and not get married?"
"No." Xi Hongbo's attitude was very firm, "Father is old and there is no one to take care of you. How can I explain to your mother after I go down?"
Xi Yutong suddenly made a bitter face.
"It's what your parents say, and it's the matchmaker's order. If you can't find it, I will find you a good home with good character for my father." Xi Hongbo stroked his beard, "I see how many people in your Uncle Yin's family Erlang is good, why don't you guys meet up and see if—"
"Father." Xi Yutong was really afraid that he would mess around with the mandarin ducks, and interrupted him, "My daughter remembered that the store still has something to explain, so I won't bother father." After speaking, she turned around and left.
Knowing his daughter well, Xi Hongbo shook his head, looked down at the finished portrait, and said melancholy: "My lady, you must help our daughter find a good husband."
The wind blows the candles, and the only response to him is the silence of the room.
Xi Yutong only knew that His Majesty would give her a marriage in the next year, but she did not expect that His Majesty now has the intention of marrying her to Feng Yuyi, and returned to the courtyard with a heavy heart.
"Miss, what did the master say that made you unhappy?" Seeing her sullen, Xiaotao asked, "But the master said something about the store?"
Xi Yutong shook her head: "It's not about this."
She didn't know where to start.
Feng Yuyi dreamed about the two people's previous life, she had guessed it before, but now it was confirmed, although she was surprised, she could accept it.
After all, Feng Yuyi knew what happened in the previous life, and when she lived again, everything was different.
It's just that His Majesty thinks about her marrying Feng Yuyi or Feng Yuqi, this is indeed a problem.
She couldn't think of a way, so she asked Xiaotao: "Xiaotao, you said that Your Majesty wants me to marry Prince Yi, or the Second Prince, what can I do to change his mind?"
"Your Majesty wants Miss to marry Lord Yi?" Xiao Tao covered her mouth in surprise, "Isn't this very good?"
"I don't even want to marry." Xi Yutong waved his hand, "Just say if you can do anything."
Xiaotao thought for a while before tentatively offering a suggestion: "Why don't you find someone to marry, Miss? As long as Miss gets married, no matter how much Your Majesty tries to match you, it will be impossible."
Xi Yutong gave her a blank look: "If it's that simple, I still have to ask you why. Forget it, you probably can't think of anything. By the way, Xiaohe, she always has a lot of ideas, it's better for me to ask her than you .”
Xiaotao was a little aggrieved, but she still answered honestly: "Miss forgot that Xiaohe is still handling business in the shop?"
Xi Yutong has been thinking about His Majesty's matter, but she really forgot about it, and suddenly feels sad.
"Miss, are you going to let Xiaohe take care of the store's affairs?" Xiaotao hesitated for a moment, but said out, "In the past half a month, Xiaohe has to look at the progress of the porcelain side while preparing for the store. I have been running around all the time, and I have to take care of you, miss, and I will fall asleep every day when I come back tired, and my body will not be able to bear it for a long time."
Xi Yutong frowned: "I know I'm tired of Xiaohe, but there are not many people I can trust now." Speaking of this, she raised her hand and poked Xiaotao's eyebrows, "You're ashamed to say, if you have Xiaohe Half a point, you can share it."
She also didn't mean to let Xiaohe take care of the shop all the time, after all, she originally wanted to train Xiaohe to be a person to take care of by her side.It's just that there is no one she can trust, so she can only let Xiaohe manage it first.
Xiaotao rubbed her brows, suddenly remembered something, her eyes lit up, and she looked at her very happily: "By the way, if Miss is looking for someone, this servant has a good suggestion."
Xi Yutong looked up at her: "Isn't it something like marrying a businessman?"
"Miss, how can a servant be like this? Miss, who is a daughter of gold, must at least be a relative of the emperor." Xiao Tao stomped her feet, "Miss, do you still want to listen to the slave?"
Xi Yutong was just teasing her, seeing that she was about to get angry, she restrained the smile on her face: "Say it."
"Miss, didn't you save the life of Miss Liu Er at the poetry meeting before?" Xiaotao lowered her voice, "Miss Liu Er is from the Liu family, so she knows how to manage things, right? You saved her life, Miss. No matter how busy you are, you have to help, even if you don't help, you can introduce a few suitable people to the lady."
Xi Yutong thought about it carefully, but it was also a solution.But I don't know if Liu Qingyao has this ability, and if she is willing to help her.After all, although Liu Qingyao is a concubine, she is still a spoiled young lady, so she may not be willing to do these things.
"I'll think about it again." Seeing that it was getting late, Xi Yutong could only hold back his impulse, and went to find Liu Qingyao tomorrow.
But without waiting for her to come to the door, Liu Qingyao came to the door by herself the next day.
"Miss Xi, I'm really sorry to interrupt you all of a sudden."
Liu Qingyao wore bright yellow clothes today, which made that baby face more energetic, but Xi Yutong noticed that the powder applied by the other party was thicker today, as if to cover up something.
"You're welcome." She was curious in her heart, so she didn't ask, and she didn't ask directly, but asked, "What is Miss Liu looking for me today?"
"To be honest, Qingyao does have something to ask today." Liu Qingyao got up, left the stool, then went to the side and knelt down, and before Xi Yutong could react, she knocked on the head heavily, "Please help Miss Xi."
Xi Yutong was stunned for a moment, and quickly got up to help her: "If you have something to do, just sit and talk, why are you doing such a big ceremony?" She said to Xiaotao.But Liu Qingyao couldn't make up her mind, no matter how much the two of them argued, they still knelt on the ground.
"Miss Xi, listen to me first." Liu Qingyao bowed her head again, her voice choked up, "Miss Xi, you also know that I am a concubine. My mother is just a maid of the Liu family, and was taken away by Master Liu because of her pretty appearance. Because of this, she became pregnant with me. It’s just that Mrs. Liu is jealous by nature. Because the concubines of Liu’s family are related to her mother’s family, she is not easy to do it, so she often takes it out on my mother. My mother misses me every day. Ri Yinren, yesterday was beaten half of my life by my good elder sister who gave her a random name, and the doctor said after seeing it, if it continues, my mother will not live for five years."
Xi Yutong is an only child, and Xi Hongbo did not marry a concubine, and she has been thinking about her dead mother for many years, so she has never experienced the struggles of those deep boudoirs.She had previously thought that although Liu Qingyao was a concubine, the Liu family was a wealthy businessman's family, so it would be fine. She never thought that life would be so difficult.
She looked at the person lying on the ground, and although she felt pity in her heart, she did not make a decision: "Miss Liu, it is said that it is difficult for an upright official to break up housework. This is your family business. What can you do if you come to ask me?"
"Miss Xi, I don't ask for anything else, I just ask you to intercede for me and bring my mother out of the man-eating Liu Mansion." Liu Qingyao looked up at her, her big round eyes filled with tears, "As long as you show up, My father will definitely let him go. As long as you can save my mother, I will work for you in this life and will never betray you. Didn’t Ms. Xi open a porcelain shop yesterday? I also heard a little bit about it, and I know how to run a shop , as long as Miss Xi can trust me, I can also help manage the store. If not, I can also be a serving maid."
"Miss Xi, please save my mother's life, that's great." Liu Qingyao climbed up to Xi Yutong as if grasping at the last straw, and kowtowed, "Please."
Xiaotao has always been soft-hearted, but now she has tears in her eyes, "Miss?"
Xi Yutong also wanted to help, but she knew that things were not that simple.It's hard for an upright official to take care of housework. It may not be easy for her father to become a grand teacher. She is only a woman in a boudoir, and she can only rely on her father's name when she goes. Then Mr. Liu may not sell her face.
Seeing that Liu Qingyao was so pitiful, and she also had something to ask for from the other party, she agreed to give the other party a try.
"You don't have to be happy too early, I promise
"My lord, how did you come up with this idea? That Yao Xiaoliu must have been extremely annoyed by now, and regretted coming to my shop." She couldn't help laughing when she thought of the scene of Yao Xiaoliu gnashing her teeth but having to give money. , but then remembered something, her smile faded, "But Liu Qingying is willing to help you pay [-] taels of silver, this Liu family is really rich and powerful."
"Not only that," Feng Yuyi shook his head, "After this incident, the relationship between Yao Xiaoliu and Liu Qingying must also become closer, but I don't know if the Liu family and the Yao family have any intention of cooperating."
Xi Yutong smiled, remembering the fact that the Liu family found Feng Yuyi to cooperate in the previous life, and seeing the other party like this, he didn't know what to say.
If the Liu family really cooperates with the Yao family, it must be to support the second prince. However, Feng Yuyi won the battle for the throne in the future. Eliminating Yu Yi one by one means that the Liu family has secretly made two-handed preparations.
Both sides help, and no matter who wins, nothing will happen.She didn't care about political affairs before, and she didn't talk about it with Feng Yuyi. She really didn't know that the Liu family was still connected with the Yao family in the first place.
But she doesn't know, so it's impossible for Feng Yuyi not to know, right?Thinking of this, she also asked.
"You're right, this Liu family secretly sent someone to contact me." Feng Yuyi didn't hide anything, "It's just that after being rejected by me, he went to find my second brother."
"Why did the prince refuse?" Xi Yutong didn't know whether Feng Yuyi wanted to refuse at the beginning of his last life, but he couldn't figure out why he refused the Liu family's clinging since he had the heart to aspire to the top.
Feng Yuyi tilted his head to look at her, with a bit of coldness in his gentle eyes: "I am now a prince and have been assigned out of the palace, and my second younger brother is still in the palace. The emperor's intentions are already very obvious, and I am Why bother to do unnecessary things? What's more, the father is now in his prime, do you think he would want to see his son prepare forces to take his place?"
Seeing her calm attitude, Xi Yutong lowered her head with a complicated expression.
As the second prince and the "eldest son", Feng Yuyi has no ambitions in his heart, but because the superiors are watching, he has been holding back until the emperor was disappointed with the second prince and had to choose a new crown prince. Take off the concealment, and soar into the sky like a real dragon.
It was the same in the last life. After the two got married, Feng Yuyi took up the idle job, but he knew everything about everything and prepared in secret for many years, even her wife didn't reveal half of it.Therefore, when he learned that the other party and the second prince won the victory against the enemy and proclaimed himself emperor, and he became a queen, he couldn't react in time.
Presumably, he is just a pawn to cover people's eyes.She thought about this question for a long time in the cold palace, but she didn't have the courage to get an answer.
She recalled Feng Yuyi's vow to be monogamous and live together forever when the two of them drank a cup of wine, and then thought of the glass of poisoned wine in the cold palace. and desolation.
Seeing her like this, Feng Yuyi was inexplicably flustered, stepped forward and grabbed her wrist: "Yutong, what's wrong with you?"
Xi Yutong stopped to sneer, looking at the familiar face in front of her, tears gradually fell from the corners of her eyes.
Feng Yuyi panicked even more, raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, anxious and angry: "Yutong, what did I do to make you unhappy? Or should I reject this Liu family? Don't cry, Can you just talk to me directly?"
Xi Yutong sniffed, raised her hand and waved her hand away, turned her back to Feng Yuyi, took out a handkerchief to tidy up her appearance, put it down and said, "My lord, I just got sand in it, I made you laugh."
The gate is closed, and there is no wind, how come the sand?
Feng Yuyi knew that Xi Yutong had something to hide from her, but Xi Yutong didn't want to tell her, and he didn't want to force him, so he said "um", and then changed the subject, "My king said what word was written on the porcelain, so Yutong, can you answer me?" one question?"
Xi Yutong cleared up her mood and turned around: "My lord, please tell me."
"For the past half month, this king has been dreaming." Feng Yuyi said while observing the expression of the person opposite, "It's strange to say that everything in the dream is like a new story development. What did you dream about today? Tomorrow's dream is what comes next."
Xi Yutong thought of Feng Yuyi's later writing in a dream, and felt a little flustered, and quickly lowered his eyes: "My lord, my daughter said it was just a dream."
"I didn't say that I had a dream, but why are you so afraid, Yutong?" Feng Yuyi reached out and lifted her chin, forcing them to look at each other, "Why didn't Yutong dare to look at me? Could it be that she was afraid of my dream? What did you see?"
Xi Yutong frowned, seeing what Feng Yuyi said, she immediately tried to look at him with wide eyes: "The prince was joking, what is your identity, and what is the identity of the daughter of the people, it is disrespectful to look at the prince."
"Then why did you stare at me before?" Feng Yuyi laughed, "Isn't it disrespectful to stare at me before?"
"Let the lord talk about the good and the bad, so what can the girl say?" Xi Yutong took her hand, feeling angry in her heart, and knelt down directly, "My daughter Chao Yue, please ask the lord to blame me."
Feng Yuyi was only teasing her, but she became serious all of a sudden, and quickly reached out to help her: "I don't mean to blame you, get up quickly."
"Anyway, the minister made a mistake, the prince blames—" Xi Yutong felt something suppressed before she finished speaking, and then her vision changed for a while, and she was hugged by someone, so frightened that she said "ah" in a low voice, and then reacted When he came over, he thumped Feng Yuyi's shoulder angrily, "My lord, if a man and a woman can't get along, please let me down."
"Do you want to marry a man and a woman?" Feng Yuyi laughed, put her down, adjusted her crooked headgear, and then joked, "Since I hugged you, why don't I ask Father for his will and ask the teacher to betroth you to you?" Can you give it to me?"
When Xi Yutong heard this, she became anxious and knelt down again, "Please don't do this, my lord."
Feng Yuyi saw her resist in a thousand ways, the smile on his face faded, and he didn't hug her like he did just now: "Why?"
Xi Yutong took a deep breath, her mind turned quickly, and then she replied: "Minnv already has someone she admires."
"A person you admire?" Feng Yuyi knelt down and looked at the girl in his eyes. Her skin could be described as bullying Saixue. Her big bright eyes seemed to be thinking of some bad idea, but the anger in her heart was gone. " Then tell me which son you are from? Do you have a position in the court?"
Xi Yutong froze, looked up at the person squatting opposite, and replied angrily: "This is the private matter of the minister and daughter, what's the matter with the prince?"
"Of course it's none of my business." Feng Yuyi smiled lightly, "If he serves in the court, I will let him be assigned to that barren land."
Seeing her appearance, Xi Yutong felt less irritated and resentful in his heart: "What if you don't serve in the court?"
Feng Yuyi snorted coldly: "Then the king will give him a position, then throw him to a wild land, and give him a few wives and concubines. In short, you will never see him again in this lifetime."
Xi Yutong laughed from the bottom of his heart, but his face was still extremely cold: "Your lord's actions are too villainous?"
Feng Yuyi raised his eyebrows: "Not long ago, you called me a villain."
Xi Yutong thought of the other party's life-saving grace, and suddenly had nothing to say.
Feng Yuyi asked: "Why didn't you speak?"
Xi Yutong lowered her eyes: "Your servant has nothing to say."
Feng Yuyi choked suddenly.
Xi Yutong said again: "If the lord is fine, the servant girl will go ahead. The servant girl has been out for a long time today, and the father will probably—"
"Yutong doesn't want to know what I dreamed about?" Feng Yuyi interrupted her, "Do you think it's strange, I dream about you every day, what do you think is the reason?"
Xi Yutong raised her head subconsciously, her heart skipped a beat when she met the blazing fire in Shang Feng Yuyi's eyes.
"My lord." Although Xi Yutong couldn't see his face clearly, he knew it was terrible. He supported the chair next to him and said, "Meng is just a coincidence."
"Coincidence?" Feng Yuyi shook his head. Seeing her like this, he felt that the dream was not simple. "It is said that I think about it every day and dream at night. You mean that I missed you so much in the past that I could dream of it every day." you."
Xi Yutong was dumbfounded, her formerly flexible mind couldn't move at this moment, and could only listen to each other's every word.
"What's amazing is that I dreamed about our initial scene, and the things ahead are the same as our reality." Feng Yuyi looked at her with a gentle expression, "But the difference is that half a month ago, you came to my house and went back After contracting a cold for a few days, my attitude toward me changed."
Xi Yutong pulled her heart together, and quickly lowered her head in order not to let the other party see the difference, "My lord, what's the difference?"
"In the dream, our relationship was not as stiff as it is now. Every day gets better." Feng Yuyi lowered his voice, "I also dreamed that we didn't follow Yu Yao to the temple, which caused her... because of this However, Concubine Bi's condition worsened and she couldn't survive the New Year, and then Yu Yao also passed away."
If Xi Yutong was lucky before, she is really panicking now.After all, what Feng Yuyi was talking about was completely about the events of his previous life, otherwise the other party would not have mentioned the incident involving Feng Yuyao's burning incense and worshiping Buddha.
Feng Yuyi thought it was absurd at first, but thinking about that accident, if they hadn't refused to follow the past, what happened to Feng Yuyao might very well be the same as the outcome in her dream.This is also the case, and she felt that this matter did not happen out of nothing.
Seeing Xi Yutong like this, Feng Yuyi bent down and cupped his face with his hands: "Yutong, do you know something?"
The two were so close that Xi Yutong could even feel the other's breath spraying on the skin.
Xi Yutong knew that the matter of rebirth was too strange, even his father never mentioned it, let alone mentioned it to Feng Yuyi.
She closed her eyes, her mind turned quickly, and finally made a decision, she opened her eyes just now, she didn't avoid it, but looked at Feng Yuyi, and asked back: "My lord, where are you dreaming now?"
Feng Yuyi was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, the corners of his mouth twitched.
"My lord dreamed that we got married after the next year, and we got married in three months after you reach Ji." Feng Yuyi recalled yesterday's dream, and he couldn't help but smile on his face, "We will pay homage to get married and have a cup of wine. If there is no accident , the next will naturally be the wedding night in the bridal chamber."
The two met when Xi Yutong was 13 years old, now he is 14 years old, and they got married at 15 years old. Feng Yuyi's words are equivalent to saying that she had dreamed about something for more than a year in half a month.At this rate, it would take about a month to dream about everything from her previous life until her death.
Thinking of this, Xi Yutong couldn't sit still.
"Yutong, what I dreamed is not fake, right?" Feng Yuyi has been watching her expression, holding her arms, "You also know everything I dreamed, right? Do you also do it? Had a similar dream?"
Xi Yutong's eyes flickered, but he was vague: "Almost."
Hearing what she said, Feng Yuyi couldn't understand: "Since you know that we will be together in the future, why are you so indifferent to me?"
"Because I know what will happen to you in the future." Xi Yutong looked at the innocent face in front of him and sneered, "I'm afraid the lord doesn't know, but I was caught by me...the one who made an appointment with me to grow old together, and wanted to be a couple with me for the rest of my life." You were poisoned to death with a glass of poisoned wine."
Feng Yuyi looked at Xi Yutong's hateful eyes, subconsciously took two steps back, shook his head frantically, covered his head and tried to think about the next thing, but it was useless, he could only retort palely: "Impossible. I won't. "
"No, you will." Xi Yutong took a deep breath, the hatred from the previous life could no longer be restrained, she got up and walked towards Feng Yuyi, every word seemed to be pierced into the opponent's heart, "I am in that cold palace, welcome After hearing the news of my father’s tragic death in prison, I welcome you a glass of poisoned wine.”
Feng Yuyi's lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to refute Xi Yutong's words, but seeing Xi Yutong's resentful and extremely sad appearance, he didn't refute anything, and stepped forward to hug him: "I'm sorry."
When Xi Yutong thought about the events of his previous life, the resentment in his heart spread like a vine, he gritted his teeth and said: "My father supported you to become the thorn in the side of those remaining parties, why did you just rely on the evidence fabricated by others? He's in jail?"
Thinking of her father's appearance, she suddenly pushed the person in front of her away. If the hatred in her eyes could turn into a knife to kill people, Feng Yuyi would have been hacked to pieces long ago, "If it weren't for your incompetence, my father would not have been in prison, let alone will not die tragically in prison."
Thinking that he would not even see his father for the last time, Xi Yutong couldn't stop the tears in his eyes, and sat limply on the ground, his body trembling with anger and resentment.
Facing Xi Yutong's accusation, Feng Yuyi's clever mind in the past couldn't find anything to refute.She didn't dream of what happened next, but only dreamed that the two were in love, so she was troubled by Xi Yutong's indifference in the past.
It is impossible for Xi Yutong to curse her father, let alone fabricate it out of thin air, which means that what is said is true.Feng Yuyi firmly believes that he will not hurt Xi Yutong, but Xi Yutong's vow does not seem to be a lie.No matter what, at least it has something to do with her, otherwise Xi Yutong wouldn't hate her so much.
Feng Yuyi walked back and forth, trying to calm himself down, and said distressedly: "Yutong, there must be some misunderstanding."
"Even if it was a misunderstanding, it is an indisputable fact that my father died tragically and I was given a glass of poisoned wine by you." Xi Yutong took a deep breath, "My lord, do you think I will be with someone who killed my father and my enemy? Will I also fall in love with a poisonous wine?" Kill your own people?"
Feng Yuyi subconsciously shook his head, knelt down and grabbed her arms, trying to make her see the sincerity in her eyes: "I will not kill the teacher, let alone poison you to death."
Xi Yutong broke away from her hand: "My lord, people's hearts are unpredictable, I only know what it means not to repeat the same mistakes."
After venting out, she felt much better in her heart. She stood up with the chair next to her, and returned to her previous indifference, and shrunk down to her: "My lord, if you have nothing to do in the future, don't come to my courtier's daughter. The courtier's daughter can't bear it." .”
Feng Yuyi saw her like this, subconsciously grabbed her arm: "Don't you want to know how I don't dream?"
Xi Yutong paused, then shook her head: "My lord, what kind of dream you have, what kind of dream you have, is your business, and has nothing to do with your daughter."
"If I say it's related to you." Feng Yuyi said quickly, "As long as I see you once, I won't dream about the later things at night. As long as I don't see you that day, I will dream about the later things. "
Xi Yutong really didn't think that there was such a limiting factor in it.
"Whether you believe it or not, I believe that I will not do anything to hurt the teacher and you. I don't know how to explain the teacher, but someone must have framed you for that glass of poisoned wine." Feng Yuyi was worried that she would not Believe it, raise your hand and swear, "I swear in the name of my mother and concubine, if you violate this word, the sky will be struck by lightning."
Xi Yutong knew that to Feng Yuyi, the concubine who died young was a taboo, but he didn't expect that the other party would swear on her, his heart moved, but then he shook his head.
"My lord, even if the poisoned wine was given by someone else in your name, what about my father?" Xi Yutong sighed, "My lord, the dream is different now, you don't need to be affected by it, don't take it to heart." After finishing speaking, she passed the other party and walked towards the store entrance.
Feng Yuyi subconsciously said, "What if I experienced it myself?"
Xi Yutong paused, but still didn't look back: "If it's a personal experience, it won't just be dreaming intermittently, but knowing everything at once."
Feng Yuyi watched her leaving back, subconsciously followed.
"My lord, Miss." Xiao He and An Er were guarding the door, seeing them finally come out, they hurried forward.
Xiaotao supported Xi Yutong and found something wrong: "Miss, why are you so pale? But what's wrong?"
Xiaohe subconsciously looked at the prince, seeing the other party's expression in a trance, guessing that the two had a dispute inside, she quickly shook her head at Xiaotao, and then said: "Miss, you and Xiaotao go back first, I will take care of the rest of the accounts." .”
Xi Yutong's thoughts were confused by Feng Yuyi, and now she is not in the mood, so she begged Xiaohe for a few words, and then got on the sedan chair and went back.From coming out to getting on the sedan chair, Feng Yuyi was completely ignored, as if this person didn't exist.
Feng Yuyi knew the reason why Xi Yutong was avoiding her, so he didn't want to be too hasty, so he ordered Xiaohe to leave with An Er.
As soon as Xi Yutong returned to the Grand Master's Mansion, a maid came over and said that the master asked her to go to the study.
Xi Yutong responded, and then looked at Xiaotao: "Xiaotao, are my eyes still red and swollen?"
Xiaotao stared at it for a while, then shook her head: "It's just some red threads, you won't see it if you pay attention, don't worry, miss."
Xi Yutong followed the maid who sent the message to the study.
She knocked on the door, but got no response, so she pushed the door open and went in, and saw that the floor was covered with paintings. When she looked up again, she saw Xi Hongbo was drawing with his head down, concentrating on painting.
Seeing the paintings about her mother on the ground, she picked them up with a smile, put them away carefully, and then went to see her father painting.
Seeing the back of the woman in the painting, Xi Yutong knew it was her mother, so she quietly stood beside her without making a sound.
A cup of tea passed by, Xi Hongbo finished painting, looked up and found Xi Yutong standing beside him, and immediately smiled: "Why don't you say anything when you're here."
Xi Yutong lowered her eyes and smiled lightly: "I knocked on the door and came in just now, but my father was too focused and didn't hear it."
"Let's not talk about that." Xi Hongbo waved his hand and told her to come over, "Come and see how the painting is doing."
Before Xi Yutong could remember, her mother had passed away, so she had never seen her face, but only learned what her mother looked like from his father's paintings and descriptions.
Although the painting is from the back, judging from the way she caresses the child next to her, she must be a very kind mother.
She stretched out her hand to touch the woman's back, and the mood that was disturbed by Feng Yuyi was immediately calmed down, and the corners of her lips curled up inadvertently: "Father's painting skills are getting better and better, but didn't my father always draw mothers?" The front, why did you draw the back this time?"
"Thinking about it carefully, it has been more than ten years since your mother passed away."
Xi Hongbo touched the portrait with a gentle expression: "I was worried about forgetting your mother for my father, and I have to paint a picture every day, but when I woke up this afternoon and wanted to paint, I couldn't remember your mother's appearance clearly. I should find out I just remembered the previous portraits."
Xi Yutong didn't look at his father so closely in the past, but now he saw some wrinkles on his father's face, and even a few white hairs on his head, his eyes were moist, and he comforted softly: "Father is just too tired. Because, maybe tomorrow will be able to remember."
Xi Hongbo shook his head, pressed the two corners of the painting carefully, and replied: "That is the best, but I am afraid that one day I will really forget your mother's appearance, and I will not be able to recognize your mother when I meet her below. That would break your mother's heart."
"Father is only thirty-two now, and he is in the prime of life, why should he say such words to hurt my daughter's heart?" Xi Yutong subconsciously clenched her hands, "If father is not here, what is the meaning of a daughter in this world, why not be with you together?" The mother will gather below."
Xi Hongbo looked up at her, "You're only thirteen, and you still have a lot of time, so what are you talking about?"
Xi Yutong was worried that his father would see something strange, so he quickly lowered his eyes: "Then don't say anything about father, go down and meet with mother, don't you still have a lot of time?"
"We are different." Xi Hongbo laughed.
"We are the same." Xi Yutong recalled that his father was imprisoned and then committed suicide in his previous life, and grabbed his arm suddenly, with a serious face, "Father, can you promise your daughter?"
Xi Hongbo shook his head: "You say."
"No matter what happens, don't have the idea of committing suicide, let alone go down and get together with your mother." Xi Yutong's eyes began to flush, "Father, my daughter has no other demands, so you just agree to this matter?"
Xi Hongbo frowned: "Yutong, what happened today, there seems to be something wrong with you."
Xi Yutong bit her lower lip, raised her hand to wipe away the tears in her eyes, and said with a choked voice, "My daughter dreamed of her father, and her father left her daughter to reunite with her mother."
Xi Hongbo thought it was a big event, but he didn't expect it to be just a dream, so he couldn't laugh or cry, "You say it's a dream, so it can't be real."
"My daughter doesn't care." Xi Yutong shook his head, "Father, just promise your daughter, okay?"
Xi Hongbo didn't take it to heart at first, but was tortured by Xi Yutong, so he could only accept it in the end.
Xi Yutong was worried, and added: "Then you swear, in the name of mother."
Xi Hongbo frowned, but when he saw his daughter saying "I can't do without a vow", and he felt that he was also a life-saving person, he nodded and raised his hand to swear: "I, Xi Hongbo, swear in the name of my beloved wife that no matter what happens in the future, I will never Suicide, if you break this oath—" He glanced at his daughter before continuing, "Curse me not to get together with my beloved wife when I go down here."
Only then did Xi Yutong breathe a sigh of relief, "Father, this matter concerns mother, you must not forget it."
Xi Hongbo put down his hands and glanced at her sullenly: "Being a father is not so old that you forget things."
Xi Yutong also knew that it was wrong for him to ask his father to swear by his mother, but his father cared most about his mother, and he often talked about reuniting with his mother underground when he was gone.When it came to his mother, even she had to be sidelined. If he really wanted his father to commit suicide, he could only swear on his mother.
Interrupted by her, Xi Hongbo's melancholy of not being able to remember his wife disappeared. When he remembered the business, he said directly: "Prime Minister Yao's second daughter came to see me this afternoon."
Xi Yutong was taken aback for a moment, and realized that Yao Xiaoliu was not willing to accept the 6000 taels. He probably found his father and came here, so he straightened up and nodded.
"Father believes that you have your reasons for doing things, and I don't want to ask too much, but you and Prince Yi cheated her together. In their eyes, you are a member of the eldest prince's faction, do you know?" Xi Hongbo said. .
Xi Yutong didn't think about this, and asked subconsciously: "Did the daughter implicate the father?" She knew that her father was a pro-imperial faction in the previous life, and she supported Feng Yuyi later because she became Yi Wangfei.
Xi Hongbo shook his head: "It is well known that my father is a pro-imperialist party. What you have done today, from the outside, it seems that our father and daughter are at odds."
Xi Yutong lowered her head in shame: "It's my daughter who was reckless."
"My father called you here, not to accuse you of being reckless or anything else, but to know what you mean." Xi Hongbo said, "In the past, you liked to run to Prince Yi's mansion the most, and you even teased me by saying that you wanted to be a chess player. Wangfei, you have been preparing for the store for the past half month, but have you really let go of Prince Yi?"
Xi Yutong paused, then nodded.
"That's good." Xi Hongbo glanced at her, shook his head, and asked again, "Then what do you think of the second prince?"
Xi Yutong frowned subconsciously, and there was even a bit of disgust between his brows: "Why does father ask such a question?"
"Your Majesty invited me into the palace today, meaning that he intends to betroth you to Prince Yi." Xi Hongbo kept looking at her expression while speaking, seeing that she was not surprised, but was puzzled in his heart, "You know about this?"
Xi Yutong shook her head quickly: "No. My daughter is just a little confused about why His Majesty made such a decision?"
"Male colleges should be married, and female colleges should be married." Xi Hongbo took her hand, "Now you are thirteen, you have to settle down first, and you can still prepare for more than a year, and you will be married when you reach the age. According to His Majesty, if you don't If you like Prince Yi, you can also consider the second prince, but the second prince has already appointed Prime Minister Yao's eldest daughter as the main concubine, if you marry, you can only be a side concubine, and you will be wronged."
Xi Yutong shook his head: "Father, my daughter doesn't want to marry the second prince. Although the second prince is good, he is a bit arrogant, and my daughter is not willing to give in. If she gets married, she will definitely fall out of favor."
It's not just a little arrogant, it's almost defiant.
Thinking of the increasingly sharp words of the second prince in the court recently, Xi Hongbo agreed with her opinion: "Don't worry, you have already rejected His Majesty's kindness as a father. But your marriage is uncertain for a day, so His Majesty's thoughts will not go away for a day. You'd better find a Ruyi Langjun quickly and settle the marriage, then His Majesty's mind will be relieved."
Xi Yutong frowned: "Father, is it true that a daughter can't stay with her father and not get married?"
"No." Xi Hongbo's attitude was very firm, "Father is old and there is no one to take care of you. How can I explain to your mother after I go down?"
Xi Yutong suddenly made a bitter face.
"It's what your parents say, and it's the matchmaker's order. If you can't find it, I will find you a good home with good character for my father." Xi Hongbo stroked his beard, "I see how many people in your Uncle Yin's family Erlang is good, why don't you guys meet up and see if—"
"Father." Xi Yutong was really afraid that he would mess around with the mandarin ducks, and interrupted him, "My daughter remembered that the store still has something to explain, so I won't bother father." After speaking, she turned around and left.
Knowing his daughter well, Xi Hongbo shook his head, looked down at the finished portrait, and said melancholy: "My lady, you must help our daughter find a good husband."
The wind blows the candles, and the only response to him is the silence of the room.
Xi Yutong only knew that His Majesty would give her a marriage in the next year, but she did not expect that His Majesty now has the intention of marrying her to Feng Yuyi, and returned to the courtyard with a heavy heart.
"Miss, what did the master say that made you unhappy?" Seeing her sullen, Xiaotao asked, "But the master said something about the store?"
Xi Yutong shook her head: "It's not about this."
She didn't know where to start.
Feng Yuyi dreamed about the two people's previous life, she had guessed it before, but now it was confirmed, although she was surprised, she could accept it.
After all, Feng Yuyi knew what happened in the previous life, and when she lived again, everything was different.
It's just that His Majesty thinks about her marrying Feng Yuyi or Feng Yuqi, this is indeed a problem.
She couldn't think of a way, so she asked Xiaotao: "Xiaotao, you said that Your Majesty wants me to marry Prince Yi, or the Second Prince, what can I do to change his mind?"
"Your Majesty wants Miss to marry Lord Yi?" Xiao Tao covered her mouth in surprise, "Isn't this very good?"
"I don't even want to marry." Xi Yutong waved his hand, "Just say if you can do anything."
Xiaotao thought for a while before tentatively offering a suggestion: "Why don't you find someone to marry, Miss? As long as Miss gets married, no matter how much Your Majesty tries to match you, it will be impossible."
Xi Yutong gave her a blank look: "If it's that simple, I still have to ask you why. Forget it, you probably can't think of anything. By the way, Xiaohe, she always has a lot of ideas, it's better for me to ask her than you .”
Xiaotao was a little aggrieved, but she still answered honestly: "Miss forgot that Xiaohe is still handling business in the shop?"
Xi Yutong has been thinking about His Majesty's matter, but she really forgot about it, and suddenly feels sad.
"Miss, are you going to let Xiaohe take care of the store's affairs?" Xiaotao hesitated for a moment, but said out, "In the past half a month, Xiaohe has to look at the progress of the porcelain side while preparing for the store. I have been running around all the time, and I have to take care of you, miss, and I will fall asleep every day when I come back tired, and my body will not be able to bear it for a long time."
Xi Yutong frowned: "I know I'm tired of Xiaohe, but there are not many people I can trust now." Speaking of this, she raised her hand and poked Xiaotao's eyebrows, "You're ashamed to say, if you have Xiaohe Half a point, you can share it."
She also didn't mean to let Xiaohe take care of the shop all the time, after all, she originally wanted to train Xiaohe to be a person to take care of by her side.It's just that there is no one she can trust, so she can only let Xiaohe manage it first.
Xiaotao rubbed her brows, suddenly remembered something, her eyes lit up, and she looked at her very happily: "By the way, if Miss is looking for someone, this servant has a good suggestion."
Xi Yutong looked up at her: "Isn't it something like marrying a businessman?"
"Miss, how can a servant be like this? Miss, who is a daughter of gold, must at least be a relative of the emperor." Xiao Tao stomped her feet, "Miss, do you still want to listen to the slave?"
Xi Yutong was just teasing her, seeing that she was about to get angry, she restrained the smile on her face: "Say it."
"Miss, didn't you save the life of Miss Liu Er at the poetry meeting before?" Xiaotao lowered her voice, "Miss Liu Er is from the Liu family, so she knows how to manage things, right? You saved her life, Miss. No matter how busy you are, you have to help, even if you don't help, you can introduce a few suitable people to the lady."
Xi Yutong thought about it carefully, but it was also a solution.But I don't know if Liu Qingyao has this ability, and if she is willing to help her.After all, although Liu Qingyao is a concubine, she is still a spoiled young lady, so she may not be willing to do these things.
"I'll think about it again." Seeing that it was getting late, Xi Yutong could only hold back his impulse, and went to find Liu Qingyao tomorrow.
But without waiting for her to come to the door, Liu Qingyao came to the door by herself the next day.
"Miss Xi, I'm really sorry to interrupt you all of a sudden."
Liu Qingyao wore bright yellow clothes today, which made that baby face more energetic, but Xi Yutong noticed that the powder applied by the other party was thicker today, as if to cover up something.
"You're welcome." She was curious in her heart, so she didn't ask, and she didn't ask directly, but asked, "What is Miss Liu looking for me today?"
"To be honest, Qingyao does have something to ask today." Liu Qingyao got up, left the stool, then went to the side and knelt down, and before Xi Yutong could react, she knocked on the head heavily, "Please help Miss Xi."
Xi Yutong was stunned for a moment, and quickly got up to help her: "If you have something to do, just sit and talk, why are you doing such a big ceremony?" She said to Xiaotao.But Liu Qingyao couldn't make up her mind, no matter how much the two of them argued, they still knelt on the ground.
"Miss Xi, listen to me first." Liu Qingyao bowed her head again, her voice choked up, "Miss Xi, you also know that I am a concubine. My mother is just a maid of the Liu family, and was taken away by Master Liu because of her pretty appearance. Because of this, she became pregnant with me. It’s just that Mrs. Liu is jealous by nature. Because the concubines of Liu’s family are related to her mother’s family, she is not easy to do it, so she often takes it out on my mother. My mother misses me every day. Ri Yinren, yesterday was beaten half of my life by my good elder sister who gave her a random name, and the doctor said after seeing it, if it continues, my mother will not live for five years."
Xi Yutong is an only child, and Xi Hongbo did not marry a concubine, and she has been thinking about her dead mother for many years, so she has never experienced the struggles of those deep boudoirs.She had previously thought that although Liu Qingyao was a concubine, the Liu family was a wealthy businessman's family, so it would be fine. She never thought that life would be so difficult.
She looked at the person lying on the ground, and although she felt pity in her heart, she did not make a decision: "Miss Liu, it is said that it is difficult for an upright official to break up housework. This is your family business. What can you do if you come to ask me?"
"Miss Xi, I don't ask for anything else, I just ask you to intercede for me and bring my mother out of the man-eating Liu Mansion." Liu Qingyao looked up at her, her big round eyes filled with tears, "As long as you show up, My father will definitely let him go. As long as you can save my mother, I will work for you in this life and will never betray you. Didn’t Ms. Xi open a porcelain shop yesterday? I also heard a little bit about it, and I know how to run a shop , as long as Miss Xi can trust me, I can also help manage the store. If not, I can also be a serving maid."
"Miss Xi, please save my mother's life, that's great." Liu Qingyao climbed up to Xi Yutong as if grasping at the last straw, and kowtowed, "Please."
Xiaotao has always been soft-hearted, but now she has tears in her eyes, "Miss?"
Xi Yutong also wanted to help, but she knew that things were not that simple.It's hard for an upright official to take care of housework. It may not be easy for her father to become a grand teacher. She is only a woman in a boudoir, and she can only rely on her father's name when she goes. Then Mr. Liu may not sell her face.
Seeing that Liu Qingyao was so pitiful, and she also had something to ask for from the other party, she agreed to give the other party a try.
