"How could a very cute child become like this when he was a child?" the child's wife said sadly, "It was also our negligence. If we had known this, we should have taken the two siblings away from here and let us educate them."
Tong Xiaoye was stunned and blurted out: "How is Yun'er?"
"She is fine, but her temper is unruly and willful. Especially after learning about her mother, she became even more violent. When Hao'er's incident happened, her grandfather immediately sent someone to keep her under strict supervision." Tong Huaan said softly, "
It's a pity that my grandmother is old and has a bad brain, so she can't help. Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this."
Tong Xiaoye lowered his head again. Perhaps all this was not just the negligence of his parents and brother, but someone who did it intentionally. Is revenge really so careless?
"Why is it so quiet in front of the house?" Tong Xiaoye changed the subject, pondered for a moment, and asked softly, "Is Hao'er's matter so serious that people who he usually interacts with no longer come to the house? Or is it because the matters about his grandfather are still hidden?
With outsiders?"
Tong Huaan smiled bitterly and said: "This child Tong Hao acted too cruelly. He even beat a slave and her brother to death in the downtown area, which caused public outrage. Now the people in Kyoto are waiting to see
How will the emperor handle this matter? No one in the court wants to get involved in this matter at this time, and they are also afraid that my grandfather will ask them to mediate, so they all avoid it."
Tong Xiaoye was stunned, Tong Hao actually did such a thing?!
"I'm afraid that Xuan Jinmo took his grandfather to visit Tong Hao in prison in private, and privately ordered the punishment of the prisoners who bullied Tong Hao, which also caused some trouble. At this time, he will inevitably be punished by the emperor." Tong Huaan smiled bitterly, "Especially
The emperor intends to be a matchmaker for me, and Princess Tianxiang is enthusiastic about it. The emperor will naturally think that Xuan Jinmo does this for his sister."
Tong Xiaoye frowned slightly and thought for a while: "It should be fine. After all, he has the right to kill first and then show off. At most, the emperor will reprimand him a few words, and he won't be too harsh."
"I hope so." Tong Hua'an let out a long sigh, "Now I can only think that there has never been a child like Tong Hao, and that he himself was unlucky. He originally had a bright future, but he failed to learn well, and now he can only
I can just leave it to fate."
In the back garden of the palace, Xuan Jinmo was sitting at the table drinking wine. The afternoon breeze was slightly cool. The emperor and the queen were whispering and commenting on the dancing skills of several dancing women. Princess Tianxiang stared straight at them.
Look at her Xuan Jinmo.
"Don't you, Lord Xuan, have no opinion on my princess's suggestion?" Princess Tianxiang asked coldly, unable to hold her breath.
Xuan Jinmo smiled slightly, raised the wine glass in his hand to Princess Tianxiang, and said lightly: "Wei Chen is speechless. On one side is Wei Chen's sister, and on the other side is Princess Tianxiang of the country. What can Wei Chen do? Apart from secretly feeling sad.
.Come, let me buy the princess a drink."
Princess Tianxiang picked up her own wine glass on the table and clinked it with Xuan Jinmo's. Xuan Jinmo's hand seemed to tremble slightly, and some of the wine in his glass spilled out and fell on Princess Tianxiang's hand.
Refreshing aroma of wine.
"Sorry." Xuan Jinmo immediately put down the wine glass, took a clean silk handkerchief from the table and wiped it with Princess Tianxiang. As if unintentionally, his fingers slid across the back of Princess Tianxiang's hand, feeling a slight chill.
Princess Tianxiang's body trembled slightly, and she glanced at her father and queen. They were concentrating on singing and dancing in front of them and didn't pay attention. Her heart was slightly moved, and her face turned red.
"I've disturbed the princess." Xuan Jinmo's voice was slightly soft, with a hint of smile.
Princess Tianxiang was embarrassed to speak, she lowered her head slightly, a little shy.
"Tianxiang, I saw that that person is very similar to you." The emperor looked at one of the people singing and dancing who looked very similar to Tianxiang. He tilted his head and smiled, "Tianxiang——"
Princess Tianxiang was in a daze and did not hear the emperor calling her. The expression on her face was a bit strange in the emperor's eyes, as if she was ill. Her face was red and her eyelashes were trembling.
"Tianxiang, what's wrong with you?" The emperor raised his voice slightly.
Princess Tianxiang was stunned, looked at the emperor, and said with some confusion: "Father, are you calling your daughter? My daughter is distracted."
The emperor didn't care. He waved his hand, pointed at someone in the venue and said with a smile, "I'm telling you, that dancing woman looks a bit like you."
Princess Tianxiang looked at it indifferently, but did not see who the emperor was talking about. She hummed twice casually, and then looked at Xuan Jinmo. He was looking at the field quietly, as if nothing had happened just now.
Happened.
"Xuan Aiqing, how is Tong Hao's matter handled?" The emperor suddenly remembered this matter, and his expression became more serious, "I heard that you took Tong Aiqing to see Tong Hao in the prison, and you took it upon yourself to deal with those bullies.
Tong Hao’s prisoner, Xuan Aiqing, you are getting bolder and bolder.”
Xuan Jinmo had a respectful smile on his face and was about to speak.
"Father, you can't blame Mr. Xuan, it's those prisoners who went too far." Princess Tianxiang said from the side, "My daughter heard from the people there that those people are very scary, and -"
"That's how it is there." Xuan Jinmo cut off Princess Tianxiang's words with a smile, and said gently, "The people inside are stealing or stealing, eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and committing all kinds of bad things, killing and arson. Tong Hao suffered all kinds of things inside.
The insult was considered light. It was just because of his special status that someone would save him. In fact, after staying there for a long time, he got used to it. It is better for the princess to have less interference in things in that kind of place, so as not to get into trouble. After all,
Some people will be released after serving their sentences."
Princess Tianxiang lowered her head and said nothing. She was a little beyond her status.
"Of course there are people who have been wronged inside, but for the time being, we have no choice but to suffer." Xuan Jinmo smiled faintly, changed the subject and said, "I have done my best for what the emperor asked, and the emperor is concerned.
Be benevolent, thinking that the Tong family and the Xuan family are the important ministers of the First Empress who have always valued and protected them, I will naturally try my best to save Tong Hao's life."
The emperor frowned and sighed and said: "Looking at Tong Aiqing kneeling in front of me with gray hair, begging me with tears in her eyes, I really can't bear to deal with Tong Hao. Although Tong Hao
It is indeed your own fault!”
Xuan Jinmo said respectfully: "The emperor is tolerant and kind, which is a blessing to the people of the world."
The emperor sighed and said slowly: "The Wumeng Kingdom has not been established for a long time. There are powerful enemies outside the Daxing Dynasty, and some foreign tribes have been trying to get some advantages. Now the foundation is stable, and there cannot be civil strife. Therefore,
I will take care of these ministers one by one. It is a pity that my brother died early. If he were still alive, I would not have to suffer this hardship. I wish to be like Xuan Aiqing, enjoying fine wine and leisure every day."
