The brother and sister were still talking in the palace, and rumors that the emperor issued two imperial edicts in succession had spread to all parts of Kyoto. Except when he first ascended the throne, the emperor generously rewarded Conglong heroes and their families, there have been cases where the same palace has received two imperial edicts at the same time.
This is a precedent that has not happened in many years.
This news was no less than a thunderclap. It rang in the ears of officials in the imperial court, high-ranking mansions, princes, generals, and ministers in Kyoto. Especially the noble families who relied on the hereditary title of Yu Yin. The hesitation and shock in their hearts were indescribable. Could it be that it was
A signal that the emperor wants to take back his title?
Everyone will over-understand the small actions of those in power, not to mention such sensitive and unconventional actions, which are even more thought-provoking.
However, the one who reacted the most to this matter was Yu Wenyao. These two imperial edicts caught him off guard. Without the prince of the Xiao family, his status in the army will be far worse than before, so this will give him little help.
.
The situation has changed too fast, and the plan has to change. Make plans early and look for new help. Fortunately, he has not married Xiao Wenjun yet, otherwise he will have less means of marriage, but this does not prevent him from adding insult to injury.
Naturally, this news also reached Yuxiu Mansion. After Wang Jiuyuan heard about it, he immediately went to Shizi Mansion.
Following the familiar road, Wang Jiuyuan walked quickly to the backyard, and saw the brother and sister talking as usual. Suddenly he felt calm and walked slowly towards them.
Xiao Wenqing faced the way he came, first he saw Wang Jiuyuan, then his eyes fell on Xiao Wenjun, "Third sister has told me a lot. You have no foundation in Kyoto alone, so you have to be careful in everything. I don't know whether the boy from the Wang family is reliable."
No?"
"Brother, don't worry, I have always only relied on myself." Xiao Wenjun blurted out. In his previous life, he relied too much on the scumbag, which led to his tragic death in the palace. He will never make the same mistake again in this life. He is the most reliable one.
Hearing this, both men felt a sudden shock in their hearts. A hint of hurt flashed across Wang Jiuyuan's face, but he quickly calmed down. He could truly feel Wenjun's affection, and he was content with this.
"Hey, brother-in-law is here?" Xiao Wenqing returned to his swinger appearance, trying to break the embarrassment.
Xiao Wenjun turned around, and the dazzling sunlight made her eyes squint slightly. The brilliant clouds formed a background behind him. A magnificent young man in red walked towards her calmly with a smile on his lips. Reflected in her eyes, he became
A dynamic and magnificent picture.
One glance for thousands of years.
No one spoke anymore. Xiao Wenqing, who had taken a mouthful of dog food, also felt the affection flowing in the air, which made him somewhat uncomfortable. He coughed lightly and said, "Brother Wang, are you here to say goodbye to me? Did you bring a gift?"
?”
"Well! I came over as soon as I heard the news, and I didn't have time to prepare gifts." Wang Jiuyuan smiled awkwardly.
"If the Xiao family can use me in any way, I will do so without any hesitation." He replied to Xiao Wenqing's words, but his eyes seemed to be glued to the girl, without moving at all.
Xiao Wenqing felt heartbroken again, "Third sister, Brother Wang and I have something to say. Go and order the kitchen to add some dishes."
Although the Prince's Mansion is no longer shabby now, and even has some wealth, Wang Jiuyuan comes here every two days and has never heard of special hospitality. It is obvious that he wants to get rid of Xiao Wenjun.
Taking a deep look at the girl's leaving figure, Xiao Wenqing's eyes were full of heartache. The burden of the Xiao family would also fall on the shoulders of this thin girl.
Withdrawing his gaze, Xiao Wenqing looked at Wang Jiuyuan and said solemnly: "My Xiao family may be lonely from now on. It's still too late for you to pull away now."
"Brother Xiao, do you think what I just said was deceiving?" Wang Jiuyuan thought a lot for a moment, and said with a firmer tone: "Now that I have identified Wenjun, I will not change it again! As long as it is what she wants to protect, I will not change it again."
It’s what I want!”
After a long silence, Xiao Wenqing spoke with difficulty, "I mean what I said. The third sister is still engaged. If you break off the engagement if you don't do anything wrong, it will make the emperor angry, and the family may be confiscated and exterminated. There is also the Wang family behind you..."
"When the Xiao family is at its peak, maybe you can still give it a try. Now the emperor has issued two imperial edicts in succession. The Holy Heart is unpredictable, and Mr. Wang Ge will not allow you to act rashly."
There was another moment of silence.
Just when Xiao Wenqing thought he would retreat in spite of the difficulties, Wang Jiuyuan's hoarse voice sounded.
"I can study abroad on my own and break away from the family." He closed his eyes and continued, "I can benefit myself without hurting the family."
Hearing this, Xiao Wenqing felt despicable, and he was threatening the person in front of him! The Langya Wang family is now in the ascendant, and as Wang Jiuyuan, the legitimate son and eldest grandson of the Wang family, has an old father, his future is limitless, and many ladies from the world are flocking to it.
"Brother Wang, don't blame me. It's just Xiao's bad intentions. What he just said was meant to be a test." Xiao Wenqing's face was filled with relief, and he felt a lot more relaxed as he continued.
"You don't need to go to such an extent! As my only request, please take good care of Wenjun. She is alone and helpless in Kyoto, so I don't worry."
"Well! Brother, please feel free to entrust Wenjun to me. Even if you risk your life, you must keep her safe." Wang Jiuyuan added in his heart: What he just said was not a joke.
"You brat, I'm waiting for your good news in Lanling. If you dare to do anything that's sorry for her, I'll be the first to let you go!" Xiao Wenqing's tone became much more relaxed.
This should be a promise between two men.
At this time, Xiao Wenjun also came over, catching the unusual meaning between the two men, and just smiled and said: "Go to the flower hall to eat, I will cook myself and make your favorite sweet and sour pork loin and sweet and sour pork ribs.
"
"Oh! Third sister, you are so partial, why don't you make what I like to eat?"
"I don't know what brother likes to eat." His tone was indifferent.
"I don't even know what my eldest brother likes. It's a shame that I love you so much."
…
Just like that, with your words and my words, the clouds of sadness hanging over the Prince's Mansion were dispelled.
In a blink of an eye, it was the third day.
People are being welcomed and sent off at the city gate every day. Xiao Wenjun stood outside Desheng Gate and said his final goodbyes to Xiao Wenqing.
"Brother, be careful when you leave the city. Write to me again after you get to Lanling. Please keep the matters discussed in the past few days in mind and keep them secret." Xiao Wenjun was no different from an ordinary woman seeing her off at this moment, Xu Xu said.
Talking non-stop.
Xiao Wenjun rarely had time to hesitate, so it was even more obvious to see the reluctance and worry in her heart at this moment.
Xiao Wenqing listened with a smile. It was rare for their brother and sister to have such a simple and tender moment, and he couldn't bear to interrupt it. He didn't know when they would see each other again, and it might be difficult to see each other again.
Seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Wenjun was about to wave goodbye when he heard He Hong's voice, "Master, we have a distinguished guest from Wenyuanfang!"
Xiao Wenqing finally had a chance to speak, and smiled, "My sister has grown up, and my grandmother and father will be happy to know each other."
