"You are still young and don't understand." Ximen Zhe touched Ximen Yichen's head.
Ximen Yichen knew that this was what his father meant by not wanting to say more, so he stopped asking any more questions.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Mo is here." A servant came to report.
Mr. Mo, Mo Qinghan, is the son of General Mo who succeeded Ximen Zhe in the Yuehua Kingdom. He regarded Ximen Zhe as his idol when he was a boy. Although General Mo was still thinking about Ximen Zhe's rebellion, he did not take it seriously. Even the emperor did not think so.
don't care
This shows that General Ximen back then had a different side from ordinary people. Since Ximen Zhe returned home more than a year ago, he has tried every means to get closer to Ximen Zhe. After unremitting efforts, he finally became one of Ximen Zhe's subordinates.
Work for him.
For this reason, General Mo, as a military commander, was very angry, but Mo Qinghan didn't take it seriously. Anyway, he was loyal to the Qingyuan Dynasty, so it didn't matter who he was with.[
"Chen'er, go find Meng'er Qi'er to play." Ximen Zhe said to Ximen Yichen.
Ximen Yichen stepped back knowingly.
Mo Qinghan walked into Ximenzhe's study.
"How is it? Still no news?" Ximenzhe glanced at Mo Qinghan, who was a little depressed, and knew that he still got nothing.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates tried their best," Mo Qinghan said in a haughty tone. He is also a very capable person, otherwise he would not have caught the attention of Lord Xi, but this time he was unable to complete the task.
"Keep looking. If you can't find it in a month, it will take a year. If you can't find it in a year, it will take ten years. I can afford to wait." Ximen Zhe said.
Mo Qinghan raised his head and glanced at Ximenzhe. He didn't know what to say, but finally he cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
No one would have expected that they would really agree to Ximenzhe's words and have been looking for it for a long time. Although it was not ten years, it has been five years.
In five years, Ximen Yichen has grown into a fourteen-year-old boy. In order to receive training, he and thirteen-year-old Ximen Yiqi were sent to Yuehua County by Ximen Hao to help the county government handle affairs. After all, he was a dignified person back then.
The territory of the vassal country is not small, the county is equivalent to the former royal palace, and the affairs are also very busy.
Ximen Yimeng became obsessed with medicine and accidentally learned the secret of Xuangu Ice Cliff. He began to go there often and learned medical skills from Yi Qianyuan. Sometimes he lived on the ice cliff for several days without returning home.
Su Ranhua lamented that the child was growing up and she couldn't help her mother. But without the child by her side, she and Ximen Hao returned to the world of two people again.
In five years, there is still no mistress in the West Prince's Mansion. The woman who has the closest relationship with the West King is none other than Li Xueyun. Although the West King has never said anything, Li Xueyun, who often visits the West Prince's Mansion under the pretext of taking care of the little prince, is suspected to be the Queen of the West.
Moreover, Li Xueyun's reputation as a virtuous and virtuous person with both political integrity and talent is getting more and more popular. Even in remote places, there are dramas about her, describing her as being like a Bodhisattva descending to earth.
If such a woman doesn't become the Princess of the West, she won't be able to take the turn of someone else.
Li Xueyun also made no secret of her infatuation for Ximenzhe. She personally told Ximenzhe that she could afford to wait, even if her hair was gray.
Ximenzhe really didn't find anything wrong with Li Xueyun. Ever since he misunderstood her about drugging, nothing had happened to her. She could persist for so long and spent five years of her youth on him. She could no longer just rely on scheming.
Go review her.
This day was Chuntao's death ceremony, and Ximen Zhe came to Wan'an Temple to chant sutras and offer incense for her.
Looking at the curling cigarettes, Ximen Zhe said, "Chuntao, you said that you asked me to find a mother and concubine for Chen'er, but how could Chen'er recognize another woman as his mother? If we talk about the woman who took care of Chen'er in the past few years,
Li Xueyun performed really well, even if she wanted to become the Princess of the West
She feels this way, but after five years of hard work, she has become accustomed to it. I wonder if I can help her? Twenty-four years old is already very old for a woman. Ordinary people have already been mothers.
But her perseverance is still focused on me."
There was a slight noise behind me.
Ximenzhe's eyes flashed and he said sternly, "Come in!"
Li Xueyun sidestepped from the door, walked into the Buddhist hall, and stood in front of Ximen Zhe, with tears streaming down her face, "Your Majesty..." [
"Why are you here?" Ximenzhe asked.
"I know that today is the death ceremony of Princess Xi, and I know that the prince comes to Wan'an Temple every year at this time to offer incense to Princess West, so I came to take a look and also want to... meet the prince." Li Xueyun said, looking at him affectionately.
Ximen Zhe.
After hearing Ximenzhe's words, she couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart. Did he accept her?
When Ximenzhe was burning incense, he noticed someone outside the Buddhist hall, but he didn't reveal it and kept talking to Chuntao. He didn't speak until he heard obvious movement behind him.
Sure enough, it was Li Xueyun.
Seeing her here, Ximenzhe felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"My lord, is what you just said true?" Li Xueyun approached Ximenzhe gently, "You told Princess Xi that you want to accept Xueyun?"
You shouldn't lie to the dead during a memorial ceremony. Li Xueyun asked Ximenzhe this, which made Ximenzhe feel that she was asking him about Chuntao, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Normally, Li Xueyun would have only asked the former question, but the latter question was clearly emphasizing Chuntao's identity and was deliberately supplemented. Ximenzhe originally said this with shame and didn't care about being heard, but when Li Xueyun said this,
I asked, as if I had been caught in the conversation, and felt like I was being forced.
After training in southern Xinjiang and causing a palace turmoil, Ximenzhe is also good at observing words and emotions. Although he did not find any particularly suspicious behavior in Li Xueyun, she behaved perfectly in front of him, but from Li Xueyun's occasional words and deeds, such as
Now, Ximenzhe feels that she is still very scheming.
At first, Ximen Zhe used Ximen Yichen's words to persuade Li Xueyun to give up, but Li Xueyun ran to him personally and said that she would not give up on what she believed in, and that she would wait for him to grow old.
From his own perspective, Ximenzhe didn't have much in mind for a concubine. From Chen'er's perspective, he had to find a woman who really loved him. So he tried it out, but after five years, Yao was allowed to leave.
The concubine urged her, but she still had not made up her mind which woman to marry.
Although there were many portraits sent to the palace that year, Ximenzhe would not organize a high-profile talent show and would not go out of his way to meet with them one by one. Therefore, in the past five years, only Li Xueyun, and no other women, could take the opportunity to appear next to Ximenzhe.
.
Ximen Zhe also personally made it clear to Li Xueyun that he wanted to choose a concubine, but Li Xueyun waited regardless of everything.
In fact, Ximenzhe did not expect that Li Xueyun would persist for so long. With the strength of the Xiangfu, even if he did not marry the Xiwangfu, he could marry another talented person, and he would not be disadvantaged. However, she just waited.
Although Ximenzhe had thoughts of marrying her, he felt Li Xueyun's somewhat coercive tone, so he couldn't help but feel a little repelled. But the words had already been spoken, and he couldn't deny it, and he couldn't find any more excuses for himself.
So, under Li Xueyun's eager eyes, Ximenzhe nodded gently.
