"The concubine Xu is the direct sister of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance. She was married to the concubine by the emperor. Now she lives in the West Courtyard and has a son and a daughter." Speaking of this concubine, Wu Zechen's expression and tone were full of excitement. It has become much more condensed, not at all as gentle as before.
Xia Luotong knew at a glance that the relationship between them must be bad, but it was normal. After all, she was his father's little wife, so there might be some grudges involved.
"Is it the marriage granted by the emperor? The emperor really likes being a Yue Lao." Xia Luotong joked casually, with a little ridicule in it, but he knew in his heart that this was just a means of the emperor's magic. From this point of view, the old man Although Prince An is the emperor's biological brother, the relationship may not be as good as rumored?
As for Mr. Xu, the Minister of Hubu, it reminded her of someone: "Is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Hubu called Xu Caidi?"
She remembered the boat cruise and seemed to have heard Xi Menghan mention Xu Caidi's background.
"Yes, Mr. Xu's family was also present at the provincial wedding banquet in Xia Mansion, including Xu Caidie. The concubine Xu is Xu Caidie's aunt." Wu Zechen remembered all the various forces in Beijing and the main members of his family. In the mind.
"So, Lord Xu, the Minister of Household Affairs, is the prince's son?" Xia Luotong's eyes flashed and he suddenly asked.
Wu Zechen didn't expect that she would be so sharp and intelligent. It was really unexpected. It seemed that he had even guessed the reason why concubine Xu appeared in the palace.
He was stunned for a moment, looking at her eyes that were flashing like stars, and suddenly he felt a strong urge to reach out and touch her eyebrows carefully. These eyes always touched his heartstrings and made him sink. eye.
Twisting his fingertips lightly, he finally resisted the urge and answered: "Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, Mrs. Xu and Xu Caidi should also come this time. In addition to Xu Cadie, Jiang Xin and He Jingyao should also come. will come."
Jiang Xin's grandfather was the prince's junior master, an absolute princeling. He had a close relationship with the Xu family, so the possibility of coming was very high.
As for the He family, for the sake of the power behind it, they should also come to inquire about Xia Luotong, Princess An.
Looking at Wu Zechen's teasing eyes, Xia Luotong couldn't help but choke, thinking to himself that this cold-faced prince knew so much, and not even trivial things escaped his notice.
Being stared at by him with such a direct gaze, she felt a little embarrassed and annoyed for a moment, as if she could cause trouble. She couldn't help but glared and said fiercely: "What are you doing! What do you mean by that look!"
Wu Zechen looked at her with her hair blowing up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and her cheeks puffed up with anger. He felt that she was extremely cute, and her increasingly exposed emotions in front of him all showed that she was becoming more and more relaxed. This will only happen as you become more familiar with it.
He was very happy in his heart, but he was also afraid of making her angry, so he quickly chuckled and said: "I just think that you are quite unlucky, and you can be bitten by madmen wherever you go."
Xia Luotong raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't expect this cold-faced prince to be quite polite! She didn't say anything to provoke him, otherwise she wouldn't mind letting him experience some different "happiness" during the evening treatment!
The anger on her face immediately disappeared, she stroked her cheek gently, pretending to be intoxicated, and said with a crooked smile: "Hey! Maybe I am jealous of beauty! If being too beautiful is a sin, then I will definitely condemn you! "
Wu Zechen never expected that the person in front of him would be so funny. The self-obsessed look in his eyes and the hilarious description made him finally unable to hold back his laughter.
The deep and mellow laughter seems to instigate the eardrums and tremble in the heart, and it is like the mellow wine to make people addicted.
This was the first time Xia Luotong saw him smiling so heartily, and the first time he heard his laughter. Before, it was just a faint smile at most.
Surprisingly, there are some bosses...
The originally stern face suddenly melted away, like ice and snow melting, and the already handsome and god-like face became intoxicating because of this soft smile, making it difficult to look away.
From the first moment she saw him, she knew that he was an extremely handsome man, but the coldness and alienation in his bones made this handsome man unique, but also difficult to get close to.
But at this time, this originally aloof god seemed to have returned to the mortal world.
The huge contrast made Xia Luotong a little stunned when he saw Wu Zechen's smile. He even said in surprise: "So you can smile?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Xia Luotong immediately came back to his senses, his cheeks were slightly hot, and he felt that what he said was really stupid!
Who can't laugh? It's just because of their personality that they don't like to laugh.
Wu Zechen looked at Xia Luotong, who looked a little embarrassed. Thinking of the way she looked at him in a daze just now, the smile on his face couldn't help but deepen. It seems that his smile is quite influential to her?
He seriously considered the feasibility of betraying his appearance, but he said, "I don't usually smile."
The implication is that you are different.
However, Xia Luotong obviously didn't understand what he meant. At this time, she was busy changing the topic to cover up her embarrassment.
"It's good to smile more." She laughed unnaturally, then immediately changed the topic, "What kind of person is the concubine over there?"
Seeing that she was embarrassed, Wu Zechen stopped continuing the topic. However, after such an interruption, when he mentioned the woman in the west courtyard again, the coldness in his heart unexpectedly became lighter.
Looking at Xia Luotong tenderly, he continued: "That woman is not a good thing, and she will never have any good intentions for you. It is enough for you to remember this. Maybe there will be no chance of meeting you in the future. Less, be more careful, that woman is always good at showing off, appearing kind, but actually being vicious."
Hearing his frank evaluation of Princess Xu, Xia Luotong knew that the relationship between them was on the same level. Then he sighed and pretended to be helpless and said: "Hey! It's really not easy for you to sit in the position of princess. It’s painful, tiring and life-threatening.”
"Now that I've sat down, I'll make it up to you in the future." Wu Zechen said with a smile in his eyes, "What kind of compensation do you want?"
Xia Luotong was confused. He always felt that something was strange? But I can’t really tell. I just wonder why this cold-faced prince seems different today? Not only is the indifference of the past gone, but his expression is also soft and he can joke?
Maybe it's because the previous barriers have been reduced and we have become more familiar with each other, right?
Putting aside the random thoughts in her mind, she quickly stopped: "No, you have helped me a lot, just think of it as compensation!"
