A Thousand Hills

Chapter 351

Li Xiang actually did a very detailed investigation and analysis of Xie Moru.

In Li Xiang's view, Xie Moru is a proper careerist.Moreover, as a woman, if Xie Moru wants to obtain a noble status after marriage, she will definitely support her husband.From Li Xiang's point of view, the rise of the fifth prince left traces of Xie Moru's tricks everywhere. This is actually obvious, and it appeared after the fifth prince's wedding.You know, before the big wedding, the fifth prince was very low-key. Among the princes, he was not comparable to the mourning prince (who was still the second prince at that time), nor the eldest prince who lived there, and even the third prince who was born of Concubine Xie. , the fifth prince is also a head behind.

The fifth prince's counterattack came after the big wedding. Before the big wedding, he was obviously a low-key and ordinary concubine prince. After the big wedding, he took advantage of the change in the position of the Ministry of Rites, first raised the distinction between the concubine and the concubine, and then wrote a letter requesting the establishment of a heir.With these two matters, the fifth prince stood out among the other princes.

Li Xiang believed that these two incidents were all hints from Xie Moru.

Li Xiang himself is also an ambitious man. He took the position of chief assistant as early as 20 years ago. Li Xiang understands the feeling of giving everything for the goal.It was as if Xie Moru, for his own status, wanted to win over her husband and devoted countless efforts to her husband.Li Xiang understood that feeling, the feeling of taking an ordinary concubine prince step by step, after 20 years, to assist him as the heir apparent of the empire.

Therefore, for Xie Moru, the present prince is the biggest effort in her life.

Li Xiang believed that paying more for his hard work should be within Xie Moru's tolerance.

why not?
Even if it's pretending, take a step back.

As long as Xie Moru takes a step back and the Palace of Mercy has a step down, the prince will be able to reconcile with the Palace of Mercy immediately, and the conflict between the two palaces will no longer exist. When the prince ascends to the great treasure, Xie Moru will naturally be taken back to the palace.

With this kindness, Xie Moru's status in the prince's heart only increased.

Of course, this was what Li Xiang had prepared to persuade Xie Moru. He really didn't understand why Xie Moru refused.Li Xiang could even guarantee that even if Xie Moru went to Jingxin Nunnery, the throne of the Crown Princess would not fall to anyone else.

Compared with the previous 20 years, Xie Moru's dedication to the prince is actually nothing.

Li Xiang originally thought that Xie Moru would accept his lobbying, after all, he could guarantee that Xie Moru would get the crown princess.She will not lose her honor, and now she is just going to Jingxin Nunnery to pray for the Empress Dowager in the name of filial piety.

Everyone take a step back, what's wrong?

As for what happened to Xie Moru after he went to the Jingxin Nunnery, of course, Li Xiang could also give a promise... But Li Xiangwei never thought that Xie Moru did not even listen to him, so he flatly refused!
That kind of aggressive strength!
That cold and terrifying look!
That kind of sturdy demeanor!
Li Xiangshi couldn't bear Xie Moru's momentum in front of Xie Moru, and unconsciously stepped back half a step. With this step, Li Xiang woke up. He, he was suppressed by a woman's momentum.Fortunately, Li Xiang is Li Xiang after all, but on the contrary, he is swift, which is quite commendable.He sighed, "If the empress is not willing, hey, this is also reasonable. The old minister understands the hard work and grievances of the empress. I also ask the empress to take good care of the crown prince. The prince is officially registered as the crown prince of the country. State affairs and family affairs, the old minister is alive." There is nothing that can't be solved at this age. The old minister will find a way to get the best of both worlds after discussing with Prime Minister Su. However, the prince has always been virtuous and filial, and his heart is soft and affectionate. This matter hurt the prince's heart where."

Li Xiang's words of sincerity and sincerity made Xie Moru feel that compared with Li Xiang when he gave her the marriage edict earlier, it really improved a lot.Li Xiang was subdued in disguise, Xie Moru would not continue to turn his face, but just said indifferently, "Thank you, Li Xiang."

After leaving the Prince's Mansion, Li Xiang breathed the icy air of the twelfth lunar month, and realized that this Crown Princess Xie was really different from Princess Fusheng.Princess Fusheng is noble and cold, she despises you and dismisses you with a wave of her hand.Although Princess Fusheng is also extremely resourceful, Princess Fusheng is definitely not this kind of volcanic woman. Li Xiangjue felt that compared with Princess Fusheng, Princess Xie was still a bit less noble.

Of course, this is also easy to explain. Princess Fusheng was born as a noble daughter of the royal family. Because of the age gap between Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizu, Emperor Taizu regarded her as his own daughter. The role of the soul has penetrated into the bones for many years and has been cultivated.As for Xie Moru, when he was young, he was not proud of his natal family. Today, Xie Moru can be said to have worked hard on his own step by step, and it is normal for him to have a bit of bravery.

Hey, I still don't have a son.

If Xie Moru had his own parents and children, with more bargaining chips, I believe that even if Xie Moru was really killed, he would be able to give the crown prince a psychological comfort with the rhetoric of "nurture the son-in-law well so that the crown princess can rest in peace".What's more, if Xie Moru had his own parents, he might not be so lonely. A woman always has to think more about her children.

He doesn't even care about the child, this Xie only has himself in his heart!
Hey, why didn't Princess Xie give birth to a son for the prince?

Li Xiang regretted this even more than the prince and his wife, he left the prince's mansion full of worries, went to the palace to meet Emperor Mu Yuan, said a little bit about Xie Crown Princess, and refused to budge!Emperor Mu Yuan didn't care much about matters between women, even if one of the women was his wife and the other was his daughter-in-law, Emperor Mu Yuan only cared about one thing, "How is the prince?"

"Look, the prince is a bit haggard. The prince values ​​love and righteousness. On the one hand, he is the empress dowager, and on the other hand, he is a married wife. Prince, it is difficult!" Li Xiang said with obvious distress.

Emperor Mu Yuan also cared about his son very much. This son has filial piety. A few days ago, he served the queen mother's illness, and he was so tired that he lost a lot of weight.Emperor Mu Yuan said, "No matter how good you are at persuading the crown prince, it's not worth such self-sufficiency. After I ask Wen Kang to persuade my mother, don't say that the crown prince is causing trouble."

Li Xiang didn't want to run into trouble with the Crown Princess anymore, Li Xiangdao said, "It's better to ask any noble lady who has a good relationship with the Crown Princess to persuade the Crown Princess. The Crown Prince has always been virtuous, but it's okay to get angry occasionally."

Emperor Mu Yuan waved his hand, causing Li Xiang to step back.

Emperor Mu Yuan asked Princess Changtai to persuade the prince and his wife with affection and reason.To be honest, this is really not a good job, but Princess Changtai can't be wrong when Emperor Mu Yuan speaks out.

The prince and his wife were drinking tea in the Nuan Pavilion, when Princess Changtai saw the fragrance of tea in the pavilion and the fragrance of red plums outside the pavilion, Princess Changtai was overjoyed at first, and said with a smile, "It seems that I came at the right time. "

The prince smiled, "Miss Huang, please sit down."

Princess Changtai sat down, the prince and his wife didn't ask her why she came, they were not stupid, so they could guess it naturally.Although no one asked, Princess Changtai had to say, and sighed, "Father misses you in the palace."

Before the crown prince could speak, Xie Moru was dissatisfied at first, so he stopped eating tea, put the teacup on the fragrant wooden table, and started talking, saying, "I am a granddaughter-in-law, and the empress dowager has disliked me for a long time. , I also know that there is nothing to say. But why does the empress dowager embarrass my highness like this? Back then, the empress dowager was ill, and her highness served in the Palace of Mercy with clothes on. For 25 days in a row, there was no time to return home. Ask Da Lang and the others to bring them into the palace. After the Empress Dowager’s body is healthy and healthy, my Highness has lost a lot of weight. Anyone who can’t see such filial piety is blind!”

Xie Moru said angrily, "The Empress Dowager also said that if Your Highness doesn't give up on me, she won't recognize my Highness as her grandson! What a joke! Your Highness's honor comes from the Palace of Mercy? His Highness's honor is due to inheriting the blood of the ancestors She is a woman surnamed Hu. If she hadn't given birth to an heir for Taizu, wouldn't it be honorable for a surnamed Hu? She dares not recognize our Highness! She also bullies my Highness for her good temper! She has the ability to do this Take the matter to the court and talk about it! If you have the ability, ask Emperor Taizu and Emperor Shizu to see if Emperor Taizu and Emperor Shizu recognize the identity of the dragon son and grandson of my highness!"

"Looking at today, I'm not surprised that Mrs. Shou'an's birthday gift, why the eldest princess, as a serious princess, still sits under Mrs. Shou'an." Xie Moru sneered, "The empress dowager really thinks , her surname Hu gave birth to a surname Mu, and from then on, the surname Hu can overwhelm Mu. "

Xie Moru's words did not show any affection.The crown prince gently tugged at her sleeve several times, but Xie Moru ignored her and just talked about himself.The prince thought that his wife didn't feel his tugging when she was furious, so she tugged so hard that she was injured, and nearly dragged Xie Moru down. Xie Moru was angry, "What are you always dragging me to do!"

Xie Moru's eyes were about to burst into flames, the prince coughed lightly, and said very gently, "Empress Dowager, are you an elder after all?"

"What's the matter with the elders? What the empress dowager did not put herself in the position of the elders!" Xie Moru said, "I was holding back my anger, and today the princess came to talk about it. Zhuangzi said A filial son does not flatter his relatives, and a loyal minister does not flatter his lord. The prosperity of a minister! Even if your majesty is wrong, you have to let the loyal minister and Yushi talk about it. No matter how expensive the queen mother is, she is no more expensive than your majesty. Don't tell anyone!"

Seeing that the crown prince had been scolded by Xie Moru, Princess Changtai immediately changed the subject, and Princess Changtai said, "We don't have an account of these right and wrong. It's just that the emperor's grandmother is so old and senior. What is the solution. Just calm down, because if you get angry, it will make the prince feel bad."

"I'm not angry. If I were angry about this, I would be so angry." Xie Moru sneered, "Anyway, my surname is not Mu, and no one is pressing on me. The princess doesn't have to come here to persuade me, the prince is a Crown Prince, is it true that the Empress Dowager told him to divorce his wife? I don’t care if I divorce, I’m afraid that tomorrow the Empress Dowager will get interested and ask the crown prince to give up the reserve position to the Hu family. At that time, will the crown prince let it go or not? ?”

Therefore, Xie Moru is a thousand times more difficult to persuade than Queen Mother Hu.

Because, Xie Moru is not only reasonable, she is also very eloquent.

Even Princess Yongfu knew that Princess Changtai had a "beautiful job" to persuade Xie Moru, so she gave Princess Changtai two catties of donkey-hide gelatin for blood.Princess Yongfu also said, "You are always good at persuading people, so hurry up and persuade the princess. Alas, if she gets angry, sister Zhen will have a hard time."

Princess Changtai is so miserable that she can't tell, Xie Moru doesn't need her persuasion at all, she just needs to be the representative of the old Mu's family and listen to Xie Moru scolding the old Mu's scolding Queen Mother Hu.Hey, because of her political stance, Xie Moru's words of scolding the old Mu's family and Queen Mother Hu could not be spread to the outside world. Princess Changtai was really depressed, so she chatted with her husband in private to relieve her depression.

Li Xuan smiled, "Could it be... no, the Crown Princess has a much better temper now. Let me tell you, it's not a good idea to always fight on both sides. No matter how difficult it is for the Crown Princess to persuade her here. This matter is not the Crown Princess's fault in the first place. Mistake. Grandmother didn't care about this matter. It's better to tell grandma not to pay attention to this matter, and to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to reward the Crown Princess a lot. Next spring will be the auspicious day for the crown princess. It'll be fine."

Princess Changtai sighed, "There is no such double-sidedness anymore."

Xie Moru had already expected the live slime.

The prince also continued to persuade her, "Although the emperor's grandmother is old and confused, she is an elder after all, and what else, if the surname is Hu or Mu, it's better not to say anything."He's fine, but if it spreads out, it will make the villain talk.

Xie Moru rolled his eyes at him, "Didn't they tell me that my surname is Xie behind my back! Pretend I didn't know! Whenever I think of the queen mother saying that about you, I get angry. There is no end to relying on seniority! "

The prince took his wife's hand, "Let's go, let's be so angry, you must be hungry."

"Don't pull me!" Xie Moru threw him away.

The prince leaned forward, "Look, if you don't let me drag you down, you're just bullying me for my sexiness."

Xie Moru held his hand with a smile, "You are not good-natured, you are graceful."

The prince smiled, held his wife's hand instead, and asked a little nasty, "What's this called?"

Xie Moru looked at him sideways, "Hold your hand."

The prince met her eyes, and continued the second half of the sentence, "I will grow old with you."
