MTL - Delicate Beauty Becomes the Beloved of Four Brothers After Her Rebirth!-Chapter 360 Past events
There is a lotus pond between the dining room and the main hall, and the dim candlelight is reflected on the clear water, like a paper boat praying for festivals.
Before he got close, Bai Xianyu saw the back of the man projected on the window paper.
It seems that he is dealing with official business.
If the environment in front of him was not too unfamiliar, Bai Xianyu still had the illusion of dreaming back to his previous life, as if Xie Xingyun had just descended to court, Xiao Zheng moved piles of papers into his study, and she prepared snacks, and followed her in , sitting for several hours.
Sometimes he can eat, sometimes he can't, and usually there is no expression on his face.
What's strange is that it's becoming more and more difficult for her to remember what Xie Xingyun looked like when he became indifferent. Every time she recalls this, his face becomes blurred.
In the past, the heartache that I thought would be unavoidable, but now I think about it, there is no wave in my heart.
Bai Xianyu said in his heart, time really heals everything, and all the unforgettable feelings will eventually return to mediocrity. I don’t know when I never thought of the things that I thought I would never forget.
"Knock knock."
"Enter."
Bai Xianyu pushed the door open and went in, and raised his voice, "Brother Su, your face is ready."
"Um."
Xie Xingyun put down his pen, picked up the paperweight with his slender hands, put the yellow letter paper aside, and then reached out to her.
Bai Xianyu subconsciously gave him the bowl, "Be careful it's hot."
The man glanced at her inexplicably, "Doing it for the first time?"
"Yes, would you like to try it?"
Xie Xingyun lowered his eyes, put the noodles directly on the desk, took a bite with the chopsticks, and paused suddenly.
Bai Xianyu brought a chair over and sat beside him, smiling slightly, "How is it?"
Xie Xingyun looked sideways, and the girl's pupils were clear and bright, as if the brightest stars in the sky had fallen into her eyes. Being looked at by her like this, he felt that a certain place in his heart was full, and there was something An indescribable taste.
"tasty."
Bai Xianyu raised his eyebrows, with a rather smug expression on his face, "It took half an hour to cook, and two pots were ruined. I tasted this pot myself, can it be delicious?"
Xie Xingyun glanced at her, with a half-smile, "Did you burn two pots?"
His eyes seemed to read brightly, you can cook two pots if you cook noodles?
Bai Xianyu showed a bit of embarrassment, "I didn't control the heat properly in the first pot. I put too little water. After I opened the pot, it quickly became a dough. I added too much water to the second pot. I didn't put enough salt in it, it was too watery. Eating raw salt is not good for your health, and it’s better to make a new one from the pot again, and it happened that Mo Yu was also hungry, so I gave him the second pot.”
Originally, Xie Xingyun was still listening carefully, but when he heard this, his face darkened, "What did you say?"
Bai Xianyu had a meal.
"Did you give Mo Yu the second pot?" He repeated her words, feeling stuffy in his heart, "So, he was the one who ate your first mouthful of noodles?"
Xie Xingyun frowned and stared at the bowl of noodles in front of him, then suddenly put down his chopsticks.
Bai Xianyu: "..."
"There doesn't seem to be any difference, right?" She said helplessly, "Besides, the pot he ate was considered a failure. Yours is complete in color, fragrance, and taste, and the two are completely incomparable."
For some reason, Mo Yu felt a little danger, and echoed Bai Xianyu's words, "It's incomparable, my lord."
Xie Xingyun's tone didn't change at all, and his voice sounded a little disappointed, "It's really incomparable."
The first bowl and the second bowl cannot be compared.
As long as it's her first bowl, it doesn't matter if it's a bit unpalatable.
Bai Xianyu saw that there was more than half a bowl of noodles left in the bowl, and felt a little distressed. She made it herself, but she didn't even take a bite. "You don't want to eat now?"
Xie Xingyun stared at her face for a long while before uttering a word from his thin lips, "Eat."
Therefore, Bai Xianyu watched him finish the bowl of noodles awkwardly, and at the end, he said, "Next time I want a bowl of mild ones."
Bai Xianyu was puzzled, seeing his serious expression, but nodded in a strange way.
But she was very clear in her heart.
next time?
If things go well this time, she will lose her status as a national teacher in the near future. I don’t know when I will see you again.
She can't be the Great Kui's national teacher for a lifetime, and Xie Xingyun will always be a descendant of the Great Kui royal family.
Bai Xianyu is unwilling to owe others, although she doesn't know when Xie Xingyun recognized her, but she has a faint intuition that she can smoothly become a national teacher, enter the Daxiangguo Temple, and finally enter the imperial tomb. Up to the inner layer, it may be because of Xie Xingyun's secret help.
But now it seems that she can't afford what he really wants, so she should do what she can to satisfy his request.
After Xie Xingyun finished eating, Mo Yu packed up the dishes and stepped back.
Bai Xianyu moved the chair to a suitable distance from his position, and said solemnly: "Then let's talk about business."
Xie Xingyun stood in front of the desk, picked up the letterhead and began to write again, without avoiding her, "Everything you want to know is there."
He raised his chin.
Bai Xianyu leaned out most of his body and reached for the document, "This is?"
"The life of all the palace maids and eunuchs in the past and the past."
If it is said that Youlan was born to a maid in the successive palaces, then there must be records of this.
Bai Xianyu rubbed his eyes and focused on watching.
"...embroidered jade."
"Here it is!" She stared at those few lines, reading every single word.
Half an hour later.
Bai Xianyu frowned deeply, "It's true, Xiuyu is the dowry maid of Xianxi, and she was with Xianxi before she became a queen, and she grew up with Xianxi in love."
It's no wonder that the child she gave birth was able to enter the palace, and she loved her child very much one after another.
What puzzled Bai Xianyu was that in Youlan's memory, her father often went to the palace to pick her up, perhaps because sometimes Xiuyu would keep Xiuyu to talk about himself, and Xiuyu's husband would take Youlan away.
But after passing away successively, Xiuyu also died, so why did Youlan's father die?
What's the connection?
Bai Xianyu's mind was in chaos, and it seemed that there were still key things that hadn't been found.
Emperor Wu Xuan and successively, why is the relationship not as close as Princess Jing'an and successively?
They are all her children, so why is there such an obvious difference?
What exactly is Nanny Jiang trying to hide? Is it to blur her vision, or to hide the secret that Youlan knows?
Bai Xianyu pondered for a moment, but even Emperor Wu Xuan didn't know about this secret.
The biggest mystery is right in front of her, all she needs to do is find the first clue, and everything will be solved.
Before she came, she was thinking about why Emperor Wuxuan and Ying Luo Baozhu, and the matter of the first emperor, and what relationship they had with the Bai family.
This doubt, until she saw the seal on the portrait of the first emperor, not only did not decrease, but became even more irresistible.
Bai Xianyu thought to herself, all the stories she had heard since she was a child were that her father was born in a reckless family, and after meeting the late emperor, they were like ducks in water. The two were not only monarchs and ministers, but also close friends in times of trouble. It is a pity that the father died in battle and the mother also died in love. As for his death, others don't know how true or false the past is.
"It's getting late, you should go to rest too." The man said softly, "Don't forget the blessing ceremony, my lord."
Bai Xianyu nodded, hesitated and turned around.
She really wanted to know how much Xie Xingyun knew about the past, and how much he had found out in the past three years, but he used a disguised identity to get along with her, obviously because he didn't want her to know his real identity...
After thinking for a moment, she said tactfully: "Master Su, you have been guarding the imperial tomb since you were young, but have you ever heard the elders mention the matter about the succession and the current majesty?"
Xie Xingyun showed no surprise on his face, "I've heard of it, but it's similar to what other people said."
"Have you ever heard of gemstones?"
"Naturally, this is the most beloved flower successively, but it is extremely difficult to grow, and the entire palace does not support a few."
From this, Bai Xianyu can confirm that Nanny Jiang still told her part of the truth, "Then I heard that Emperor Wuxuan once punished Concubine An and the Seventh Princess, who were extremely favored by concubine An, and the Seventh Princess, at the Lantern Banquet because of the jeweled jewels. Is it true?"
Xie Xingyun paused before answering, "Really."
"Does your lord know why?" Bai Xianyu gave a high-sounding reason, and said nonsense in a serious manner, "Before I came, I found that there was a bad omen in the imperial mausoleum. I am afraid that the past events have affected Da Kui's current national fortune. If we can trace the root cause Tracing the source, solving it from the root, should pray that the effect will be better.”
Xie Xingyun twitched the corners of his mouth calmly, and looked at her slightly jokingly, "The national teacher is right, but although I grew up in the Imperial Mausoleum since I was a child, it has only been a few years since I took over the affairs, and there are still many old things It has not been resolved, and I don't know much about why Emperor Wuxuan is particularly sensitive to gemstones."
Bai Xianyu automatically translated his words in his heart, meaning that although he has been able to reach the imperial mausoleum in the past three years, the available time is not short, and he may have just touched the inner layer.
But thinking of how many people were lost under her family, Xie Xingyun's speed is considered very fast.
In less than three years, this imperial mausoleum has almost infiltrated. No one even knows when Su Qingbai, the real guardian of the mausoleum, was replaced by him. He was still under the eyes of Emperor Wu Xuan. Unknowingly.
"How much do you know?"
"I only know that after passing away one after another, Emperor Wu Xuan couldn't hear these words anymore, and even destroyed all the seeds of Li in the palace."
must have done something to stimulate Emperor Wuxuan.
After all, Emperor Wuxuan didn't miss Yingluo's orb, but hated it, and it can even be said that he hated it extremely.
I thought that Xie Xingyun was the son of Princess Jing'an, so she should know more, but now it seems that Princess Jing'an may not understand why her brother harbors such great malice towards her mother.
But Emperor Wuxuan was very indulgent to Princess Jing'an. In folk terms, it can be said that he is too used to it. All the rules are not rules in front of Princess Jing'an...
Bai Xianyu suddenly stopped, "...wait a minute."
Xie Xingyun raised his eyelids and looked at her, "What?"
Bai Xianyu suddenly had a chilling inference in her heart. She had heard a story about a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River.
The wealthy businessman relied on his original wife's family power to make his fortune in the early years. Once he was rich, his original wife died, leaving only one son. Within half a year, he married another step-wife. Soon he gave birth to a son and a daughter.
Everyone thought that there was going to be a good show of snatching the family property, but they never thought that this stepmother was beautiful and virtuous, and treated the son of the original spouse as if he was his own, even thousands of times better than his own son and daughter. People who didn't know saw it and thought that the son of the original spouse was her own flesh and blood, and there was a good story about it.
But as the children grew up, the people who were full of praise for this stepwife finally noticed something was wrong.
Her sons and daughters, who were strictly disciplined, were smart and polite, while the original spouse who was indulged and spoiled grew up, but was useless and useless. The few people I knew were reduced to laughing stocks.
It wasn't until then that everyone realized that this beautiful step-sister was the one with the most ruthless thoughts. For more than ten years, not only did she gain a good reputation, she secured her position as the mistress of the family, and she even took care of her in the future. The sons and daughters of the family competed for the heir to the family property.
Killing two birds with one stone, even the rich businessman finally figured it out, but apart from punishing her a few words, he couldn’t say anything wrong.
Since his death successively, Emperor Wuxuan is like the doting elder, and Princess Jing'an is like the son of his original spouse. When the world mentions Princess Jing'an, they are all arrogant and defiant. When mentioning Emperor Wuxuan, they all call him Good brother.
Perhaps even Princess Jing'an thinks so.
Bai Xianyu squinted her eyes. If she followed her conjecture, then Emperor Wuxuan didn't really love Princess Jing'an, but he clearly indulged her on purpose. This also matched his dislike of Yingluo orbs.
Because of hatred, Princess Jing'an was implicated.
I heard that Marquis of Zhenbei passed away because he was suppressing bandits abroad, and was leaked by a lieutenant general in the army, and finally died tragically. However, Emperor Wuxuan was furious and personally supervised the case. Go out of the palace to appease Princess Jing'an and the young Xie Xingyun in person.
How similar.
How similar to her elder brother Bai Tanshen's experience in his previous life.
Bai Xianyu thought carefully and was terrified, raised his head restlessly, and looked at Xie Xingyun in a daze.
