In fact, for Xi Menghan, Xia Luotong's identity is not important at all. She has made friends with Xia Luotong, so she has never asked about Xia Luotong's situation.
Xia Luotong saw Xi Menghan's trust and sincere friendship in her eyes and remembered it in her heart. At the same time, she was also moved by Xi Menghan's sincerity, and she treated him with the same sincerity.
Xia Luotong had no intention of keeping it secret from Xi Menghan. After she returned to the Minister of Rites' Mansion for a marriage visit, she would take the initiative to tell Xi Menghan all this.
Not long after, shopkeeper Zhao sent someone to deliver two pairs of clothes, and the sizes actually fit. While Si Hanyan went to change clothes, Xi Menghan pulled Xia Luotong and whispered.
"Tell me honestly, did you use the skill of splashing water to attack Zheng Chunhua just now?" Xi Menghan's face showed a secret expression of excitement. Although she did not explain it clearly, both of them knew that "attack" meant What is.
"Have you discovered all this?" Xia Luotong asked Xi Menghan with a smile and crooked eyebrows.
"Actually, I didn't see how you took action, but I know you would never just rush over and splash water on her!" Xi Menghan's eyes lit up when he heard Xia Luotong's disguised admission, and he immediately became excited. .
She had long disliked Zheng Chunhua and never took the opportunity to beat her up. Unexpectedly, she hit Xia Luotong's hand this time!
"As expected of my little Menghan, she really understands me." Xia Luotong couldn't help but laugh. The more we got along with each other, the more she discovered that she was in tune with Xi Menghan. Many times, the two of them could understand each other without saying anything. What are you thinking.
Xi Menghan had a look of pride on his face after hearing this, and couldn't help but wonder what medicine Xia Luotong used to deal with Zheng Chunhua this time. However, since Si Hanyan was still there and he didn't know when he would change his clothes and come out, he didn't say anything. If you keep asking, it will be the same if you send someone to inquire later.
After Xia Luotong and Si Hanyan changed their clothes, they chatted in the private room for a while.
Although Si Hanyan looked very gentle, he was actually a very strong-minded person, and he was also very talkative. The three of them had a great conversation, so they made an appointment to continue visiting the temple fair together.
Si Hanyan had never seen what a temple fair in the capital was like, so he immediately accepted the invitation from Xia Luotong and Xi Menghan.
Apart from the life-saving grace, Si Hanyan actually liked the feeling of getting along with Xia Luotong and Xi Menghan, which had a sense of novelty that he had never experienced before.
As a result, the two-person party eventually turned into a three-person party. The three girls left the Yusheng Pavilion happily and did not part ways until nightfall.
Early the next morning, as the morning court had just ended, the emperor had just left the hall, and before all the officials in the hall had left, Mr. Xia, the Minister of Rites, stared closely at Prince An Wu Zechen and spoke loudly.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, what do you think about my daughter returning home to visit her relatives on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year?"
Xia Zhihe deliberately spoke loudly, which instantly attracted the attention of the officials who had not dispersed in the hall.
The affairs between the Minister of Rites' Mansion and Prince An's Mansion have long been known to everyone. At this time, when all the officials in the palace see the excitement, who will leave in a hurry? At that moment, they all stopped and looked at Prince An, whose face was indifferent.
When Wu Zechen saw Xia Zhihe using such a little trick, he couldn't help but sneered with disdain and looked at Xia Zhihe as if he were looking at a clown.
When Xia Zhihe looked at him with such eyes, an unknown anger immediately rose in his heart, but he calmed down and stared straight back.
Seeing Xia Zhihe's appearance, Wu Zechen evoked a vague sneer. Thinking of his Princess An's obsession with revenge, he suddenly looked forward to how she would torment the whole family.
In the past, he didn't care about Xia Luotong at all, but recently, for some reason, he paid special attention to her and wanted to know what she was doing. He even tracked down her situation in the past few days.
After such an investigation, he actually found out something. For example, the ladies who had caused trouble for her ended up in various situations...
Thinking of Xia Luotong's good at poisoning, the answer was ready to come out. He even dared to conclude that these things must have been caused by the princess in his family.
"Why, Mr. Xia looks quite anxious?" Wu Zechen mocked coldly.
"What do you think, Your Majesty? There has been no news about my daughter since she married into the palace. As a father, I naturally miss her very much!" Xia Zhihe was very dissatisfied with Wu Zechen's eyes, but even though he was in a high position of the second rank , and we must not be disrespectful to Wu Zechen, not only because Wu Zechen holds the position of General Pingxi, but also because he is the only prince of the Zhou Dynasty! The Queen Mother’s direct grandson!
"So it turns out that Master Xia also misses his eldest daughter? I thought that Master Xia didn't care about his eldest daughter at all. After all, he has never spent a day in Shangshu Mansion since he was a child, and he has never even seen Master Xia... …”
"My lord, please be careful what you say!"
Seeing Wu Zechen actually telling these things in public, Xia Zhihe's expression changed and he quickly interrupted. After all, it was okay to talk about this kind of thing in private. Saying it in front of all the officials at this time really made him feel a little shameless. .
"It's just something that everyone knows well, and it's worthy of Mr. Xia's cover-up." Wu Zechen sneered and said directly, "Don't worry, Mr. Xia, on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, I will personally bring the princess to your door. visit."
What Wu Zechen said was a visit, not a visit to relatives. He just continued what he said just now and continued to mock Xia Zhihe.
Xia Zhihe couldn't understand the meaning of Wu Zechen's words, and immediately his face became a little darker. He was about to say something in reply, but was interrupted by a father-in-law who suddenly came over.
"Prince An, the Queen Mother has been complaining that she hasn't seen you for several days. Do you think she is free to sit with her for a while now?"
The father-in-law looked at Wu Zechen with a smile on his face, and did not even look at Xia Zhihe who was standing aside. The conversation between the two just now was quite loud, so it was impossible for the father-in-law not to hear him as he walked closer.
Xia Zhihe's expression changed when he saw this, but he did not dare to say a word of dissatisfaction because he recognized that the older father-in-law in front of him was none other than Eunuch Chang Xi, the great eunuch in the Queen Mother's Palace!
Thinking of the Queen Mother's love for Prince An, and the Queen Mother's resolute methods when she was young, Xia Zhihe's face froze slightly, and he suddenly felt a little lucky. Fortunately, he didn't say anything bad in front of Eunuch Chang Xi just now.
"Of course I'm free. Thank you Eunuch Chang Xi for leading the way." Wu Zechen glanced at Xia Zhihe coldly, and when he turned to Chang Xi again, his eyes were much gentler.
