That night, it snowed heavily in Kyoto.
The charcoal fire in the room gave off a warm temperature. Xia Yunxian looked at the snowdrifts on the branches in the courtyard, thinking about Xia Yunhan who was away in the army.
I wonder if her brother arrived successfully?
"Sister Yunxian is worried about brother Yunhan?" A concerned voice sounded at the door. Xia Yunxian looked up and saw that it was Shen Ping who had been busy with studies for many days.
She took the child out of the Hou Mansion and immediately arranged to enter Minglun College.
The dean was very fond of Shen Ping, and he immediately fell in love with the child's talent and rare simplicity and practicality. Because he started late, he studied harder than anyone else.
The boy in front of him seemed to have grown a lot taller all of a sudden, and his eyes no longer had the timidity in the past. He became calm and generous, and his behavior was not as steady as he should be at this age.
Shen Ping came in with a bowl of ginger tea. When Xia Yunxian saw the calluses on his hands, he couldn't help frowning, "Are you helping with the backyard work again? Didn't I say that from now on, all you need to do is hold a pen with these hands?" .”
"Ping'er is used to chopping wood and carrying water. If he doesn't do it, he will feel uncomfortable all over. Don't worry, sister, Ping'er will not delay his studies."
Shen Ping is still well-behaved. Although his clothes are cleaner than before and his food is finer than before, his heart of neither being arrogant nor impetuous nor forgetting his roots is what Xia Yunxian values.
She knew that this child didn't want to live in the General's Mansion and receive her favor in vain, so she kept working hard to do what he could.
"By the way, sister, Ping'er heard something. Liu Wenyao entered Yueming College."
Shen Ping is not a talkative person. He would suddenly talk about this matter, which means that he is worried.
Xia Yunxian was silent. Indeed, the Hou Mansion had offended the dean of Yueming College before. What happened to make such a stubborn person change his mind?
If money can make the world go round, but the Hou Mansion is now infamous because of Liu Chengyu, Dean Yue Ming has always wanted to catch up with Minglun, so he probably won't risk his own college.
She hadn't paid attention to the Hou Mansion for a while, so it seemed like she should inquire about it.
At this time, there was a rustling sound outside the courtyard, and the sudden barking of dogs made the two people in the house look up and saw a black shadow climbing over the wall without warning.
Xia Yunxian immediately sent Shen Ping away. Bai Yujing shook the snowflakes off her body. For some reason, looking at the man in front of her from far away, she felt that Bai Yujing was a little different today.
"Cen Yurong is dead."
As soon as he spoke, Xia Yunxian's eyes flashed, and there was not much surprise on his face, "I thought she would see me before she died."
"Why aren't you surprised?" Bai Yujing looked at her deeply. Also, wasn't Cen Yurong's fate the result of her hard work?
First, he deliberately attracted Xiao Junlan's attention, causing Cen Yurong to make frequent mistakes due to jealousy.
Furthermore, Xiao Junlan was secretly hurt a lot by what happened in the palace.
"Or, why are you unhappy? She was so angry with her before." He thought that his love rival was dead, and the settlement that the girl had been hiding in her heart was solved.
However, looking at Xia Yunxian's expression at this time, Bai Yujing suddenly understood something, "Could it be that your target was not Cen Yurong from the beginning, and it was just a matter of convenience to get rid of her?"
"The damned man is the wise king."
Sure enough, Xia Yunxian's calm voice sounded, which could make a doctor say such words without changing his face. There was probably some enmity between her and Xiao Junlan.
"When did you know about it?" As soon as Bai Yujing finished speaking, Xia Yunxian glanced over with a slightly cold gaze.
He immediately coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment. If he asked this, didn't it mean that he also knew that General Xia's death was related to the wise king?
"Actually, I only found out recently, really!" Bai Yujing smiled helplessly, while Xia Yunxian just sighed.
When Liang Guogong's mansion was framed, Xia Yunxian was already suspicious.
The wise king repeatedly tried to win over the duke to no avail, so he resorted to tactics to throw the dirty water on the Liang family for harboring the guilty daughter. This method was exactly the same as the one he used to unjustly accuse Xia Yunhan.
She boldly guessed that it was someone very close to Princess Xian who wanted to harm the General's Mansion.
After thinking about it for a long time, she tested Liu Chengyu until her father's death in battle was not that simple, and Cen Yurong secretly helped Liu Chengyu many times. At that time, her father also had heavy troops.
His temperament is so similar to that of Liang Guogong. He is not afraid of power and does not form gangs, so the good king is the most suspicious!
"So, is this the reason why you stole the military secrets in the pen?" Bai Yujing was able to get over it, but when the pen passed Xia Yunxian's hand, the mechanism was broken.
No one knows better than him that General Xia's craftsmanship is not without inheritance, and Xia Yunxian likes to play with such things.
So he can be sure that the contents of the pen have been taken away by his little fox!
Xia Yunxian didn't expect that he really couldn't hide anything from this guy.
Naturally, the more chips she has in her hand, the better.
A piece of paper immediately fell into Bai Yujing's hand. He opened it and saw that it was indeed the artillery production drawing!
After all the hard work they brought back, they finally made him a wedding dress!
Bai Yujing was so happy that she took Xia Yunxian into her arms, "You girl, you gave me another big gift! I was suffering from not having the chance to take it as my own before. This thing can make anyone scared when they see it. point!"
But she struggled and couldn't help but scolded, "We have broken up, please be respectful."
"If we didn't break up, I wouldn't have to be a gentleman on the bridge, and I would still be covered in snow!"
In order to cooperate with her acting, he gave up the right to walk through the front door of the General's Mansion openly.
But there is something special about sneaking over the wall to see her at night.
"Are you a gentleman?" Xia Yunxian saw Bai Yujing's thoughts at a glance and felt that he had misunderstood the word gentleman. But soon, she changed the subject, "Tell me, does the King Xian want to make this production?" picture?"
Bai Yujing paused immediately, and with a slight movement of his slender fingers, he folded the paper in his hand into his sleeve, as if it was impossible to spit it out again.
This girl still wants Xiao Junlan to be more powerful than a tiger?
Xia Yunxian laughed. She had not yet figured out how to use this drawing to its maximum effect.
"Do you really know how to torture Princess Yinghua?"
"Of course not. If she is injured, how can Prince Xiliang still want her?"
At this time, Bai Yujing's heart was focused on the artillery he was about to possess, but there was still a slightly cold smile on this beautiful face.
Yinghua wanted to frame Xia Yunxian and die in her own hands. It was too easy for her!
Xia Yunxian knew at a glance that Bai Yujing had an idea. She suddenly thought of something, "Why did Princess Yinghua target me in the first place?"
"That girl Pingting used to come to the palace often, and her relationship with Yinghua was very good."
It was she who said a lot about Xia Yunxian in front of Princess Yinghua, but now, Pingting still looks crazy, and of course Yinghua will not end well.
Xia Yunxian knew that everything Bai Yujing did was to help her vent her anger. "Speaking of Xiliang, there is a prince who will also visit this time. Maybe you should pay attention to it."
There is a prince?
Bai Yujing looked at her immediately, "You're talking about the one who won't live long, right?"
