With regards to the complicated relationship between the Great Chen and the circle, Xie Jingxi had always been learning by using them. There were too many people that couldn't match her real name, and Third Princess was one of them.
Initially, she had also thought about why Third Princess would help her, she only thought that Third Princess was trying to build a good relationship with her, but now that she thought about it, it was probably not that simple. These rich and powerful people mostly emphasized how to help others without any reason, and although Third Princess was young, she had always been thorough in her conduct, and had always been very brave, probably because of Venerable Chen's teachings.
He only had one princess under his knee, so he didn't need to be involved in the strife in the previous dynasty. Seeing the Third Princess, he knew that she was definitely an insightful woman, but after thinking about it more, she could not understand, she was not deeply involved with the Chen family, and had not helped her to such a situation.
"When I saw you that day, I already had a premonition of who you were, and now that it seems like I had not misjudged you, you returned very well just now. I have never seen royal father admire anyone like that, if I guessed correctly, Elder Official Xie should be fine very soon."
Xie Jingxi was surprised, she did not expect that Third Princess, who was young, would have such sharp eyes. Indeed, no one in the imperial harem was simple, even a little princess dressed in luxurious clothing like her, grew up, must become smart?
"With Princess's blessings, His Majesty is an enlightened ruler, he would not invert black and white."
Third Princess looked at her with a confused expression, then changed the topic: "You don't have to be so cautious when Wan'er isn't here, just use the food to admire the scenery later. If you hear that you are extremely good in the water, you probably won't be afraid, just wait until you come to the palace a few more times."
The Third Princess advised with good intentions, and Xie Jingxi replied with a smile, "Fortunately you're here."
The surface of the lake in the palace was not as big as the one in the King Jin Palace, but the boat was mighty, probably for the pleasure boat feast. The interior was extremely luxurious, the main ship of the His Majesty had Gu Yun and Sheng Luan as its companion, in addition to the Empress Imperial Noble Consort Shen, Little Shen Shi and a few other concubines, Xie Jingxi and Third Princess were also among them.
Xie Jingxi and Gu Yun looked at each other, and Gu Yun assured her. When she saw him, Xie Jingxi's worries were relieved, and with Third Princess by her side, she was no longer as reserved as she was before.
"Today, you have all basked in the glory of Xuanchen and his wife, and it is rare for you all to be together and happy. We will drink a cup first."
Gu Yun hurriedly said that he dared not, but Sheng Luan, who was by the side, was more familiar with His Majesty, and he raised a cup for him, "His Majesty, you clearly do not know how to show kindness to a couple, their faces are still young and tender, but you can't make fun of them, I will toast His Majesty on his behalf, and ask His Majesty to be merciful."
His Majesty glared at him, "You sure know how to be a good person, how can you only drink one cup of wine with this amount of alcohol? Drink three full cups first then talk."
Sheng Luan was straightforward as well, as he drank three cups of wine, he then said to his wife teasingly: "Our General Sheng should only see how the Lord Gu loves his wife, we should also say one for ourselves. Later, we will see how the General Sheng loves his wife."
"Shen Shi's words are reasonable. You're not young anymore, you should find one. When you see which lady has caught your eye, tell me and I will grant you your marriage."
Anyone who was familiar with Sheng Luan knew that he shouldn't mention this to him. Of course, someone like the King Jin who was shameless would be treated as a different matter. If someone who wasn't familiar with him were to ask, it would be equivalent to tearing his scar.
However, the Third Princess next to them had an unintentional reaction that caused others to be curious. While everyone was joking around, she actually took a bite of the Jadeite Radish as if there was no one around her. As Xie Jingxi got closer, he could inevitably hear what seemed to be some unfriendly chewing sounds.
Xie Jingxi was startled, then suddenly realized a problem. Could it be that the Third Princess was interested in Sheng Luan? Could it be that Third Princess didn't come with her on the ship today, but for Sheng Luan?
The Third Princess was only thirteen or fourteen years old this year, Sheng Luan was about the same as Gu Yun, they were already over twenty years old, which was a distance of ten years. Thinking about it, it was quite a distance, if she had to think about it, the His Majesty would probably intentionally match up, but she did not know when the Third Princess gave their approval, but Sheng Luan's stupid brain could not really tell, so it would be difficult for the Third Princess to marry the General Sheng.
Imperial Noble Consort Shen continued: "Speaking of which, Mrs. Gu's mother also has a pair of sister-in-law. They are around the age of marriage, and looking at Mrs. Gu's elegant demeanor, he should be a dragon among men.
His Majesty looked a little curious. "If Imperial Consort didn't mention, I had forgotten that Elder Official Xie still has a pair of children. When I have some free time next time, I would like to meet them."
It was obvious from His Majesty's reaction that he wanted to bring up the matter of His Majesty being the heir. It was only because the other two people did not have good reputations and they were not even old that His Majesty had let go, but right now, it seemed like the rumors were wrong. Who would not like such a generous and proper lady?
From the looks of it, the Sixth Miss who did not reveal herself was also a good person, and should be around the age that she was supposed to be. His Majesty did not have anything to do with the other lady, so no one would be able to recognize her.
was furious in her heart, Imperial Noble Consort Shen wanted to win Xie Cen over and send a Xie Family girl into the palace, how could the Elder Official Xie not be enlightened, what did it matter that they are in jail now, the His Majesty is obviously releasing them soon, if they are exposed to the light of their children again, it would not be a problem for them to climb another level.
Xie Jingxi put down her chopsticks and said to the Imperial Noble Consort Shen: "Imperial Concubine imperial consort is truly too kind. All of us combined are less than three parts of father.
"I'm not afraid of giving birth to them, just come out and see them." Imperial Noble Consort Shen was a bit unwilling to forgive him.
Xie Jingxi did not speak anymore, continuing to speak would be deliberate, but she was afraid that even if she said anything, it would be useless, as long as Xie Cen was willing, the future of Sixth Miss would still be in his hands.
The meal was very stuffy, the scenery was good, Xie Jingxi could only helplessly eat bored people, thus not only was Xie Jingxi not full, she even ate a stomach full of boredom, and finally had to return home with Gu Yun after the feast was over.
He turned his stiff neck, not wanting to move at all. Seeing that she was tired enough, Gu Yun went over and helped her take off her complicated and heavy clothes, and massaged her shoulders: I never thought that His Majesty would leave me some food. She probably hasn't eaten her fill, I said that I would take you out to eat, do you still have strength left now?
Xie Jingxi shook his head, "I wouldn't want to move it even if I'm beaten to death, I'll save this meal, and go again next time, I'll just ask Ming Yu to cook a bowl of noodles first, you probably haven't eaten your fill, sigh, you said that everyone wants to enter the palace, and even a meal doesn't taste good, isn't it torture to go in there?"
Gu Yun laughed and added strength to his hands, "Do you think that everyone else entered the palace to eat?"
"Speaking of which, I found something interesting today." When Xie Jingxi loosened up, she purposely teased him, raising her neck to look at Gu Yun who was behind him, "Do you want to know?"
Gu Yun pinched her nose, "Now you have even learnt to keep others in suspense, let me guess what it is, but Third Princess?"
"Hmph, how boring. To think that my guess was correct." Xie Jingxi pulled Gu Yun in front of him and sat down, "I feel that Third Princess is a rather interesting person, she seems to be interested in Sheng Luan."
Gu Yun raised his eyebrow, "Third Princess is already at such a young age, and her feelings have just started?"
In fact, if it wasn't for the age difference being a bit larger, it would be a pretty good marriage. Third Princess is a very thoughtful person, do you remember that time in the Eastern Palace when her little girl secretly came out to report? "
Gu Yun thought for a while, "If Sheng Luan delays for a few more years, His Majesty might be able to make something good happen, if you say it like that it is possible, one of Sheng Luan's aunts is marrying into the Chen family, and Third Princess must have also seen Sheng Luan secretly, for Sheng Luan's pretty white face, can definitely deceive the little girl."
Upon hearing that Master Young Master Gu still remembered his enmity and seized the opportunity to make a fool of Sheng Luan in front of his wife, Xie Jingxi snorted and laughed, "So what if he's a parent? Look at how displeased you are, I'll give you a reminder, maybe someday that pretty boy will become your brother-in-law."
Gu Yun revealed a horrified expression for the first time, "Wife, let's not joke around. If that brat really wants to get ahold of Gu Wan, I'm not going to agree."
"So what if you don't agree?" Xie Jingxi rolled her eyes, "I knew that you guys didn't have this kind of eyesight, although Sheng Luan looks heartless, it's easy to tell who he likes and dislikes, and why don't you think about it when he's fighting against his enemy all day long? Your brother's temper, if he had no feelings for Wan'er, then he would have gone far after knowing that she was a girl.
Gu Yun looked at him with a proud smile, "If you don't believe me, go back and ask Prince Jin's Wife. She can see through it with her own eyes, ah, there's only one General Sheng, do you think he would like to be the princess or be your brother-in-law?"
"Now I can finally understand why those parents who beat up lovers are so vile." Gu Yun patted his head in distress, "Why does Gu Wan's eyes not follow mine, in this life, I'm going to be blindly in the hands of that bastard Sheng Luan."
