Yu Wenxian could ignore the opinions of his literati and lay followers, but it was impossible not to consider the opinions of Liu Xiuzheng. If Liu Xiuzheng could be used as a medium to carry out the alienation plan, there would indeed be a chance of success.
Li Xingchen said in a deep voice: "I know what I know, and I would like to ask Mr. Xiao to give me some advice."
Xiao Kui hurriedly stood up and bowed his hands in salute: "Common people are just having their own opinions. Your Majesty understands this clearly."
Li Xingchen smiled slightly: "Then I won't disturb Mr. Xiao's rest. Regarding the affairs of the academy, I will directly talk to Xiao Congqing's family, but I must have time to ask Mr. Xiao to help."
"The common people must go all out." Xiao Kui saluted repeatedly. If Li Xingchen could trust him so much, he naturally couldn't think too highly of himself.
"Husband, are we leaving?" Xiao Xiang looked at his father and brother reluctantly. To be honest, the time together was too short.
After all, the identity of the Xiao family father and son is very sensitive. Xiao Xiang is also sensible and would not rush out to see them on weekdays. Therefore, it is really rare to be able to follow Li Xinchen to see them. Today, he did not even see his mother.
Xiao Xiang was even more disappointed.
And Li Xingchen said with a smile: "In two days, ask your sister Le'er. If there is nothing wrong in the palace, I will let you go home to visit your relatives."
Xiao Xiang nodded hurriedly: "Husband, you are so kind."
Li Xingchen reached out and held her hand: "Then let's go."
Xiao Kui and Xiao Cong hurriedly followed, but Li Xingchen turned around and said, "You don't need to send them off. I happened to go out directly from the back door and walk along the mountain road."
"Farewell to Your Majesty," the father and son said hurriedly.
After watching Li Xingchen leave, the two of them looked at the figures of Li Xingchen and Xiao Xiang nestling together, and subconsciously glanced at each other, both showing expressions of joy. But then Xiao Kui sighed softly.
The Lanling Xiao family was one of the top wealthy families in the Southern Dynasties, but now it has declined to the point where it requires a little girl to rise to the top. To be honest, it is really not a glorious thing.
Therefore, Xiao Kui is even more confident that he must run the Jinling Academy well, so that the Lanling Xiao family can truly deserve its name!
At this time, Xiao Xiang, who was holding Li Xingchen's hand and walking out of the mountain gate, hugged his arm: "Husband, you are really bad. You have to hug me in front of your father and brother."
Li Xingchen reached out and scratched her nose: "If you really don't like it, at least put away the smile on your face first, so that you can look more like you are acting."
Xiao Xiang snorted softly, sighed and said: "To be honest, I never thought that one day my father would be so kind to me, and I never thought that my brother and the others would be so polite.
It’s really like a big dream that you don’t want to wake up from.”
Li Xingchen looked at her in astonishment and soon understood that the unlucky curse had been haunting Xiao Xiang for a long time, causing her to suffer discrimination in the family. In the end, she even had to hide in her uncle's house. But now
The hopes of the entire Lanling Xiao family were pinned on Xiao Xiang. Xiao Kui and Xiao Cong, who had once regarded Xiao Xiang as a disaster star, naturally made a 180-degree turn in their attitudes.
In fact, there is nothing to say about this. Human nature has always been like this, especially for a superior person like Xiao Kui, especially a superior person who is born to be a puppet. It is reasonable for him to be more superstitious and snobbish.
Li Xingchen stretched out his arms and hugged Xiao Xiang: "Don't worry, even if the world changes and human relationships change, won't I still be by your side? With me protecting you, who dares to bully you?"
Xiao Xiang smiled and kissed Li Xingchen on the face. He thought of something and then said: "Thank you, husband. I am very satisfied to be able to stay with you."
After a pause, Xiao Xiang twisted his fingers together and murmured: "What's more, people sitting in different positions naturally have different ways of thinking about problems. Dad and brother once shouldered the weight of a country. There are some differences."
I don't blame them for their thoughts. As long as all of us can be well now, I will be satisfied."
Li Xingchen laughed loudly: "Let's go, I will take you up the mountain to see the snow scenery of Jinling City!"
"Okay!" Xiao Xiang responded crisply.
Chang'an City, Imperial Study Room.
Although the earth dragon was burning hot, Yuwen Shenju still felt a bit cold in his heart when he looked at the slightly dimmed imperial study room. Of course, it was more of a nostalgia and longing for the previous owner of this imperial study room.
"I see your Majesty." Hearing the footsteps, Yuwen Shenju hurriedly raised his hands and saluted.
And Yuwen's voice was a little wavy: "Tell me, how did the conversation go?"
As if he felt something was wrong, Yuwen Shenju hurriedly looked up. Yuwen did not come alone, there was a woman in thin clothes supporting him. Yuwen's clothes were disheveled, even his belt was loose, and he was still smelling of odor.
Smelling the strong smell of alcohol, I didn't need to think about it to know what Yuwen had done not long ago.
Looking at the dark circles under Yuwen's eyes that were darker than last time, and the blush that has not yet dissipated on the woman's pretty face, we knew that this battle must have lasted a long time.
Yuwen Shenju took a breath of cold air and tried his best to calm down his emotions: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. I think there should be no outsiders."
Yuwen sat down, stretched out his hand to pull the woman over, and made her squat down directly. He knew what the head was shaking and was doing it without thinking, and Yuwen said calmly: "She is not an outsider, but it doesn't matter.
"
Yu Wen couldn't help but smile bitterly when he was promoted to the divine power. He was not considered an outsider?
Your Majesty, are you kidding me?
If you remember correctly, this woman should have been given to you by Yang Jian, right?
Do you really think that this woman will not tell Yang Jian anything? What's more, who knows how many Yang Jian's eyes and ears there are in the harem?
Yuwen Shenju felt that his mouth was bitter, but he still solemnly cupped his hands and said nothing.
Yuwen glanced at him and patted the table impatiently: "Speak quickly!"
"I insist on your request!" Yuwen Shenju said in a deep voice.
Yuwen snorted coldly, and was about to get angry directly, but then he remembered that he seemed to have no one he could trust except Yuwen Shenju. In desperation, he could only wave his hand impatiently, and Feng Xiaolian hurriedly bowed and retreated.
It was only then that Yuwen Shenju discovered that the woman's skirt had also been pulled open. Obviously, Yuwen's hand that was not on the table just now was not placed elsewhere honestly.
Feng Xiaolian stepped back slowly and raised his head slightly to look at Yuwen Shenju.
The woman licked her lips, her eyes cold and even sinister.
But Yuwen Shenju looked straight ahead, pretending not to see anything.
"Okay, you can talk now." Yuwen said coldly.
As for Feng Xiaolian, who retreated behind the screen, he glanced at the servants on the left and right, and both of them pricked up their ears at the same time.
