King Huainan's heart was racing with excitement, and he had to agree: "Okay, I, the king, should all agree."
"However, I also have conditions."
"First, from today on, the Xie family will no longer be allowed to move around as in-laws of the Huainan Palace."
"Second, the Xie family needs to come forward to clarify the rumors about Yongning."
"Third, the papers sent by the Xie family to the government office must also be taken back."
Xie Mingxi said calmly: "The first and third can be accepted. As for the second one, please forgive me for my incompetence. I don't know why this message originated, but it spread all over the capital in just two days. Our Xie family doesn't have this kind of thing."
His ability made everyone in the capital shut up and not mention it."
"Come to think of it, even the Huainan Prince's Palace doesn't have the ability. Otherwise, the Prince can just quell the rumors on his own, so there is no need to come to Xie's house in person."
King Huainan twitched his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes: "How dare others talk about these ridiculous things. These rumors are only the work of the Xie family. There is no need to make excuses."
"In short, this matter must be settled in the shortest possible time."
"With Miss Xie's intelligence and wisdom, she can naturally suppress these rumors."
Xie Mingxi raised her eyebrows and showed a pointed smile: "There is a way. Since the prince trusts me so much, I will give it a try. But I can't guarantee the result."
King Huainan was not someone to be trifled with. Hearing this, he sneered: "I will wait and see!"
The two looked at each other, with coldness flashing in their eyes.
…
The conditions had been negotiated, and the King of Huainan was no longer interested in staying, so he walked away.
After the King of Huainan left, Xie Jun let out a long breath.
Just now, he had been holding his breath and concentrating, not daring to breathe out. As soon as King Huainan left, the omnipresent pressure finally dissipated, and he was quite lucky to have saved his life.
Xie Mingxi glanced at Xie Jun, who was surviving the disaster, and said somewhat amusedly: "My father has reconciled with the princess, so I can straighten my back to the King of Huainan. What's so scary?"
Xie Jun sighed: "You put it lightly. I have been the son-in-law of the King of Huainan for more than ten years, and I am used to swallowing my anger. I can't change it for a while."
If you want to straighten your bent waist again, it is not easy!
Xie Mingxi smiled and comforted without sincerity: "Change slowly, and you can always change."
Thinking of the conditions that Xie Mingxi had just agreed to, Xie Jun couldn't help but frown: "Although the rumors spread from the Xie family, it is now spreading outside, and it is hard to suppress it for a while. The King of Huainan proposed this condition, and you really shouldn't have accepted it just now.
.”
Xie Mingxi said calmly: "I shouldn't do it. He will never give up today. Could it be that my father really wants to quarrel with him to the point of falling out and fighting?"
Xie Jun was choked for a while and had to shut his mouth.
After a while, Xie Jun couldn't help but ask: "What method have you thought of to quell the rumors?"
Xie Mingxi smiled meaningfully: "Father is just waiting to see the excitement."
Then, he said: "Father, please rest well. I will go back to the academy."
Xie Jun was stunned: "It's already so late, you can just rest in Chunjin Pavilion. Why bother running back and forth?"
Xie Mingxi didn't know what she thought of, and her eyes softened a little: "Before I left, I alarmed the master. If I don't go back for a long time, the master will be worried. It's better to go back."
Looking at the soft-looking Xie Mingxi, Xie Jun suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his heart.
In Xie Mingxi's heart, the entire Xie family combined is not as good as Gu Shanchang alone.
…
In her heart, the Xie family is not as important as her master.
Perhaps it was because only Gu Shanchang truly loved and cared for her.
Even though the cold wind was biting and it was difficult to run around in the middle of the night, the thought of someone waiting for her to return in the Lotus Pond Academy made the slightly simple room feel like a family member.
Xie Mingxi hurried back to the academy and it was almost midnight.
As expected, Chief Gu Shan had not fallen asleep and had been waiting for Xie Mingxi to return.
"It's cold outside, why don't you take a carriage?" Chief Gu stepped forward and held Xie Mingxi's cold hands, feeling half distressed and half angry.
Xie Mingxi smiled nonchalantly and said: "The carriage is too slow, not as fast as walking on the snow."
"I have practiced martial arts with Mr. Lian for more than three years. My health is far better than that of ordinary people. Master, there is no need to worry about me."
Gu Shanzhang didn't say any more and just ordered Ruoyao to bring ginger soup. After Xie Mingxi drank a bowl of hot ginger soup, her body suddenly warmed up and a slight blush appeared on her cheeks.
Only then did Gu Shanzhang ask: "Why are you rushing back to Xie's house tonight?"
Xie Mingxi did not hide anything: "I asked people to keep an eye on the Huainan Prince's Mansion secretly. As soon as the Huainan Prince left the house, someone came to deliver a message to me. I hurried back to Xie's house because I was worried that the Huainan Prince would bully others."
At present, all the masters of the Xie family cannot afford to be seriously injured. Xie Yuanzhou, the second eldest brother, is young and incapable of doing anything, so Xie Mingxi can only step in to deal with the Huainan King.
There have been many things going on in the Xie family recently, and Chief Gu Shan knew about it. Hearing this, he frowned and said, "The King of Huainan went to the Xie family in person. It seems that he is determined to suppress this matter."
Xie Mingxi hummed.
Gu Shanchang was a little angry: "The big guy bullies the small, this old man, it's a shame he has the nerve to come to the door!"
"Mingxi, you don't have to be afraid of him. The Queen will come to teach tomorrow. I will talk to her personally about this matter. That old man will never dare to move in vain!"
She was too lazy to take care of the mess in the Xie family. However, the King of Huainan never wanted to bully Xie Mingxi!
The King of Huainan was afraid of Xie Mingxi, and it was precisely because of Gu Shanchang.
Queen Yu might not be willing to ask Xie Mingxi alone. When Gu Shanchang opened his mouth, Queen Yu would never refuse.
Xie Mingxi felt warm in her heart and said in a low voice: "I understand Master's protectiveness. However, this is a family matter of the Xie family, and I can handle it alone. If Master needs help, I won't hold on to that.
face."
"Tomorrow, I really have something to talk to the Queen in private. I can just ask Master to help arrange it."
Seeing Xie Mingxi's insistence, Chief Gu Shan had no choice but to agree.
…
Palace affairs were getting busier and busier, and Empress Yu had no time to spare. In the past, she would go to Lianchi Academy three days a month, but now she only comes one day a month.
The teaching time in each school building has also been shortened. Speaking of it, Empress Yu just went to each school building. In such a short time, it is impossible to guarantee how much teaching will be done.
However, for the students, it is a blessing to be able to see the Empress every month and listen to Empress Yu speak up close.
Women who have been appointed by the imperial court are only eligible to see Queen Yu on the first day of the first lunar month every year. As a student of Lianchi Academy, it is a great honor and dignity to see Queen Yu once a month.
At noon, Chief Gu Shan specially invited Queen Yu to have lunch with him.
As a disciple, Xie Mingxi took the initiative to ask Ying to serve the dishes.
Queen Yu glanced at Xie Mingxi calmly, and after finishing lunch, she asked calmly: "How do you want to resolve the matter of Princess Yongning?" (To be continued)
