A Thousand Hills

Chapter 91

Xie Moru never lied, she said "I'm going to make a move", Xie Shangshu couldn't help but tense up.Fortunately, the old guy has been a fox for many years, and his face is still stable.

Xie Moru looked at the gift list at a glance, and handed it to the eldest maid, Zi Teng, and said, "Is grandfather free? I have something to discuss with grandfather."

Xie Moru took the initiative to discuss matters with him, and his expression was solemn, and at the time when Mu Qigang sent a lot of things, Xie Shangshu knew that it was not a trivial matter, so he got up immediately, "Let's go to the study and talk."

The grandfather and grandson went to the study one after the other, leaving Mrs. Xie behind. It was a bit inexplicable, and I thought that the Jingjiang Palace sent some things to the Fang family. In fact, this is what should be done. It's more complicated, but in terms of relatives, Fang and King Jingjiang are relatives of nephew and uncle, and Mu Qi was ordered by his father to come to court, to visit Fang, and to pay a salute, which is perfectly normal.

Is it worth going to the study to talk about such a small matter?
Xie Shangshu's inner study is where he studies in the inner house. Now he is busy with affairs, and he doesn't have much time to study. Fortunately, he cleans it diligently, but it has not been used for a long time. In this season of late spring and early summer, the study There is a lingering coolness.

Xie Moru pushed open the window, and the morning sun came in through the window, bringing in some warmth.

The grandparents and grandchildren sat down as the guests of honor, the maid brought tea, and Xie Shangshu sent them out.Xie Moru didn't drink his tea, leaned forward slightly, didn't talk nonsense, and didn't show any special expression, and said directly, "There are many things, in my opinion, very weird. For example, I went out with my grandmother and really offended many people. It's really strange that you didn't get any embarrassment and revenge, isn't it?"

When Xie Shangshu heard the phrase "really offended many people", he was so moved that he burst into tears, alas, it's rare that Xie Moru also knew that she had offended everyone when she went out.He also heard her say in a regretful tone, "It turns out that I didn't receive any embarrassment and retribution, which is really strange." Xie Shangshu said in his heart, with your fighting power, no one would dare to revenge you!Furthermore, Lao Xie's family is not a vegetarian, and will not sit back and watch Xie Moru suffer.Of course, Xie Moru is not a vegetarian.

Xie Shangshu still has some understanding of Xie Moru. Xie Moru is not a person who likes to show off. When she mentioned the past, she only mentioned it lightly, but it is obvious that Xie Moru mentioned the past. .I heard Xie Moru say, "Actually, since the first time I went to Cheng'en Gong's mansion to celebrate Mrs. Shou'an's birthday, I have always had some doubts. Even if my mother's family was convicted, I am not Fang. What's more, the matter of the Fang family is over. It has been ten years, and according to my grandfather's status in the court, these imperial wives should at least treat me in the same way as Mo You in appearance. But many people's attitudes towards me are very unusual. At first, I was only skeptical, and went straight to Princess Yongfu After I went to Jingxin Nunnery, I was sure that there must be something here or my mother's place that made me hesitate. Otherwise, if I compare my heart with my heart, even a sage can't just sit back and watch someone sweep his own daughter's face. Since then , I have been thinking, what is the reason?"

Xie Moru fixedly looked into Xie Shangshu's slightly constricted pupils, and asked, "Grandfather, do you know?"

Xie Shangshu seemed to be immersed in ice water, the only thought in his head was: Did she know?She really knows?
No, it is not quite accurate to say that Xie Moru knew it now, to be precise, Xie Moru noticed it.

Xie Moru was very patient, she asked again, "Do you know, grandfather?"

Xie Moru asked the question for the second time, and Xie Shangshu's eyes had returned to calmness. However, he did not answer Xie Moru's question, but thought of a sentence that Princess Ningping said to him a long time ago. Mrs. Wei Guo, at that time, Xie Shangshu was not Xie Shangshu, but Xie Shilang. He tremblingly went to the Dachang Princess' mansion to discuss the marriage. Dachang Princess Ningping said to him, "In the future, Xie will be rewarded."

Shangshu Xie didn't know whether Mrs. Xie would get remuneration, but it was true that his promotion to the title of Shangshu was difficult. These years, the eldest son's official career was also not going well. With the word "reward", Shangshu Xie once felt that it was more appropriate to change it to revenge.Now, he seems to be aware of it, but he doesn't quite believe it. Princess Ningping passed away more than ten years ago. When she passed away, Xie Moru was not born yet. Princess Ningping is not a fairy, so I'm afraid she won't see it Xie Moru has such agility.However, if there is really the so-called reward of Princess Ningping, it will be Xie Moru.

This is the blood of his Xie family.

Xie Moru looked at Xie Shangshu, but Xie Shangshu's eyes inadvertently stayed on a peach branch outside the window that had fallen peach blossoms and produced small green fruits.After a long time, Xie Shangshu said, "Mo Ru, you also know that I am a foreign minister after all, and I don't know about royal affairs. After His Majesty ascended the throne, I told His Majesty the history books for a period of time, and I can be considered as His Majesty's teacher." , but it’s just to tell His Majesty about history, and the only one who can be called the master of the gods is Emperor Xue. I really don’t know what you are talking about.”

Xie Moru obviously didn't expect to get an answer from Xie Shangshu, she heard what Xie Shangshu said, and then said, "Then it is inconvenient for Grandpa to enter the palace someday, so please mention it to Your Majesty."

Xie Shangshu was really in a dilemma, he tried to explain to Xie Moru, "Mo Ru, after all, this is just your speculation." Xie Moru can speak to him based on inference here, but he can't answer His Majesty the Emperor like this.

Xie Moru said, "If something moves the hearts of the royal family, grandfather, do you think the Jingjiang Palace will be moved? King Jingjiang is ten years older than this one? It's not surprising that the grandfather is a foreign minister who knows the secrets of the royal family." , but you said, does King Jingjiang know? Let me tell you, not only King Jingjiang knows, but Princess Ningrong may be aware of it. But right now, their chance to make a move is in front of them. Remind Your Majesty."

"Opportunity?" Xie Shangshu said without turning the corner for a moment, "you just need to rest assured, I will always protect you."

"If it were me, I would design a situation where Mrs. Xie can't do anything."

"What's the situation?"

Xie Moru smiled, "How do I know this? But it must start with my marriage."

When Xie Moru mentioned the frankness of the marriage, Xie Shangshu couldn't help thinking that his granddaughter was indeed not a normal person.In other people's family, even a generous girl would be ashamed when it comes to marriage, and even more timid and soft, she might not even mention it, but Xie Moru, when it comes to marriage, it's like a discussion Today's weather, "ah, the weather is nice today" is such a tone.

Xie Moru said, "Marriage is a big deal for girls. If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid King Jingjiang won't be able to wait for a second chance. He is in his fifties this year. If he doesn't do anything, he will be buried." "

Xie Shangshu finally said, "Why don't you write a note, and I'll pass it on for you." Ask him to talk about these things face-to-face, since it involves the royal family after all, it is difficult for him to speak up.

Xie Moru nodded, "Okay."

There is a format paper for memorials, which is more like a folded booklet. This kind of thing is really only available in the minister's house.Xie Shangshu also reminded Xie Moru how to write the opening chapter, and the language must be respectful.Xie Moru studied since he was a child, his calligraphy is very good compared to his peers, and he writes very quickly. After the ink is done, he hangs it on the table.

Xie Shangshu said, "There's no need to talk about my duties. If you feel something is wrong, you must tell me in time. I will never sit back and watch you suffer."

Xie Moru bid farewell and left.

Xie Moru went back to the Rhododendron Courtyard to eat at noon, the weather was getting hotter, the few side dishes arranged by Madam Zhang were very satisfactory, Xie Moru drank an extra bowl of soup at noon, wrote a few large characters in the afternoon, and continued to read "The Notes of the Immortals" to pass time.

Xie Shangshu’s lunch time was not so leisurely. He didn’t read carefully when Xie Moru was writing the memorial. Now he took it in his hand and read it twice from the beginning to the end. Passed Mrs. Yongyihou.Although the entire article is inference, Xie Moru is still more inclined to the court as a whole, which makes Xie Shangshu feel relieved.

However, Xie Shangshu vaguely thought, could it be that Jingjiang Prince Mu Qilaichao wanted to marry Xie Moru?No!Don't even think about it, he alone can't agree to this marriage!
Don't talk about him, even His Majesty can't agree, right? !
Xie Shangshu's political struggle experience for most of his life told him that it is absolutely impossible to be so simple.

A situation where the Xie family is helpless...

Will such a situation really happen?

After all, Xie Moru's surname is Xie, and the Xie family has a certain right to speak about Xie Moru's marriage. Even Xie Shangshu is sure to use his influence in the court and palace to influence Xie Moru's fate.But... Dust off the seal written by Xie Moru, is Xie Moru interested in the position of prince and concubine?If there is really something that makes the royal family's heart flutter, why would the royal family marry her out?

Speaking of princes and concubines, the first thing Xie Shangshu thought of was his own grandson, the third prince...

Also, what is that thing?

Alas, Xie Shangshu would rather not know.

However, it must be related to Princess Ningping... Could it be possible that that woman really kept a hand in the end and hid some treasures... Xie Shangshu is really curious but dare not know. It's like a cat is scratching, all kinds of tastes are indescribable.

Xie Shangshu made up his mind about a rest day, went to court the next day, found a chance to meet with His Majesty alone, and handed over Xie Moru's notebook without saying a word.When Emperor Mu Yuan saw that Xie Shangshu didn't say a word and just handed over the booklet, he thought it was something embarrassing.Open the booklet, this is not Xie Shangshu's handwriting. After reading ten lines, Emperor Mu Yuan put the booklet on the imperial case. This emperor is not young. He really deserves his reputation of killing Princess Ningping. Thank you Shangshu for the comparison.Emperor Mu Yuan said "oh" without saying anything, indicating that he knew, and sent Xie Shangshu to leave.

After Xie Shangshu left, Emperor Mu Yuan smiled, it was rare that Xie Shangshu came up with such a method, and let Xie Moru sign the seal himself.And Mrs. Yongyihou, hum, Yongyihou's mansion!
Could it be true that that happened?
Whether it is or not, in fact, it does not matter, it is an opportunity.

Twist your fingers lightly on the memorial, what do you want to get from it?
