At night, Da Xi Yingying took a bath, lay down in the clean boudoir, and sighed comfortably.

The strange thing is that after leaving the prison, she didn't sleep very well. She lay down for a long time without falling asleep. She was thinking vaguely that Jingzhao Prison was actually very good. When she was in it, she seemed to have both.

He met two outstanding men, Xue Bai and Du Qi.

It's a pity that after being released from prison, Xue Lang will never belong to her. He will only coax powerful and beautiful women without even thinking about it.

Wait...why is Du Wulang included? Outstanding?

Thinking of this in a daze, Da Xi Yingying woke up with a start, and then felt a little melancholy. Then she felt that Jingzhao Prison was quite good and could bridge the gap between people.

All in all, the adventure of being imprisoned is over. I wonder what kind of woman Xue Lang will marry when he returns to this mortal world. She must be either a royal princess or a concubine with a five-year-old name.

The next day, Daozhengfang, Fengwei Building.

Da Xi Yingying had thrown away those boring thoughts and was sitting in the small pavilion taking care of her accounts.

"Madam." Shi Zhong stepped forward and whispered: "Xue Lang is here."

"But something happened?" Da Xi Yingying stood up quickly, "Would you like to see how you recovered after being searched?"

"No, I'm just here to eat."

"Have a meal?"

Da Xi Yingying couldn't help being curious, so she hurried to the hall and looked around. She saw that Xue Bai had come with several brothers from the Yan family. Yan Quanming and Yan Jiming were both there, and they also brought a child and a porcelain doll as beautiful as

girl.

"I want a private room."

"Brother, would you like to sit in the lobby?"

The girl looked around curiously for a while and then made a request.

"Okay." Xue Bai nodded and agreed.

"Is it okay to sit there?"

"Can."

After a while, Du Wulang came over with the Xue family brothers and sisters. Da Xi Yingying found an opportunity to pull him over and asked softly: "Is that Mrs. Yan Sanniang? She seems to have an unusual relationship with Xue Lang?"

Although Du Wulang wanted to escape, he persisted and said, "Is my relationship with Xue Bai just average?"

"I think Xue Lang always follows her wishes."

"If I make a request, he will probably agree."

"The difference is that Xue Lang seems easy-going, but in fact he is majestic. Few people dare to use him at will. Even Er Niang, I have never seen her dare to be arrogant in front of him."

"Sister Yan is not arrogant either. Wait, what happened to the second sister?"

"It's nothing, it's just about feeling."

"I know what you want to say." Du Wulang became interested and whispered: "But let me tell you, you have misunderstood. Xue Bai is probably going to get married to a girl from the clan."

In fact, he always knew that Miss Zong was the daughter of the prime minister's house, and he just didn't say it.

But now in the East Palace, the Right Prime Minister invited Xue Bai to a banquet with the intention of marrying his daughter. Xue Bai refused the East Palace and accepted the invitation from the Right Prime Minister's Palace. In his opinion, the meaning was obvious...

~~

"Xue Bai agreed to come?"

Li Xiu was a little surprised. He thought it would be difficult for Xue Bai to invite him.

Unexpectedly, Xue Bai only handed over a greeting card and did not wait to come to invite him. Xue Bai already replied that he would attend the banquet on time.

"He's not afraid of danger in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he directly agrees to come over? That's a lot of courage... You guys, hurry up and make arrangements."

It went unexpectedly smoothly, and Li Xiu instantly gained a lot of confidence in the matter of getting married.

He then excitedly went to report to Li Linfu.

"real?"

"Yes. The only reason why my child's thoughts come and go is that Xue Bai still has feelings for Qi Niang."

"OK."

Li Linfu sighed as he stroked his beard, as if even his strong beard had softened a lot, and asked: "When is the banquet scheduled?"

"Tomorrow at noon."

"Okay." Li Linfu called over someone and said, "Tell Chen Xilie that I don't have time to see him tomorrow. Ask him to come over this evening."

He actually squeezed out time from his busy schedule to prepare to receive Xue Bai in person.

Then he said to Li Xiu: "The guards at the banquet must be well guarded, so that Xue Xiu's son cannot find an opportunity to assassinate him."

"Don't worry, Grandpa. During the Lantern Festival, the boy said that he was attracted to Qi Niang."

"Let's make it more grand and go."

In the evening, Chen Xilie came over obediently.

In the impression of the world, everyone thinks that the stamped left prime minister must be timid, but no, Chen Xilie is over fifty, but he looks more than twenty years younger than Li Linfu.

He is a handsome man with a long beard. Although he is the prime minister, he has no official aura and has the aura of immortality. At first glance, he has a sense of erudition, elegance, and gentleness like jade.

If the prime minister is for display, he is a very good-looking prime minister.

Chen Xilie was single-handedly promoted to the position of left prime minister by Li Linfu. Before he also served as Minister of War, he was also given the title of "Minute Minister Tong Ping Zhang Shi". In other words, Yang Hao is following the path he has walked.

"I've seen your Prime Minister, please be safe."

As soon as Chen Xilie entered the hall, he hurriedly saluted and said hurriedly: "Yang Hao has already pushed behind Xiaguan. When he takes away Xiaguan's position, he may have to deal with the right prime minister!"

Of course he is anxious. Although he sits under Zhongshu's door and takes a nap every day, he is actually ambitious. As long as he takes good care of his health, when Li Linfu dies, he will naturally be the one to rule the world.

Who would have thought that Yang Hao would suddenly come up to fight.

"Why are you panicking?"

Li Linfu scolded lightly and said calmly: "The truth has been solved."

"Your Prime Minister is truly a god." Chen Xilie immediately felt more at ease.

Li Linfu did not tell him that his solution was not to get rid of his uncle Yang Wei, but to turn Yang Wei into the next Chen Xilie.

It's the simplest. Yang Hao has no talent at all, so he only needs to win over Xue Bai.

"I have called you here to ask you, why did you demote Lu Qi?"

"Lu Qi?" Chen Xilie was stunned for a moment and replied: "Lu Huaishen, the ancestor of Lu Qi, was kind to his subordinates; his father, Lu Yi, was a doctor under his subordinates. He came to plead with me, saying that since Lu Qi had been demoted, he hoped that

Can he not be downgraded? The subordinate has indeed acted selfishly and changed him from the ninth-grade Shuofang Army Secretary to the eighth-grade Jiancheng."

"Lu Qi was demoted? Who demoted him? Why?"

Chen Xilie was also confused and said: "The quarterly list of relegations from the Ministry of War should be sent by the Yushitai. When Lu Yi handed it to me, he saw his son's name."

"Wang? He didn't demote Lu Qi."

"This..." Chen Xilie neither took power nor took such responsibility, and responded: "I don't know what I am doing now."

Li Linfu was unhappy.

He knew that if he investigated this matter, Wang He would definitely think that the Prime Minister's Office did not trust him; but if he did not investigate, Wang He would always feel like a small thorn in his heart.

After all, it is a power field, and friends and enemies are always changing...

~~

At night, Li Tengkong took a bath, lay down in his boudoir at home, and sighed helplessly.

After leaving Yuzhenguan and going home, she couldn't sleep these nights, her mind was in a mess... disturbed by the nonsense said by her family members, especially Li Shiniang.

"Xue Bai is fascinated by you. Otherwise, if we are political enemies, why would he come here as soon as you invite him?"

"At tomorrow's banquet, you will dress up beautifully and charm him, making him the prime minister's son-in-law."

"..."

Li Tengkong turned over and silently recited Taoist scriptures in his heart.

"You can't see it, you can't hear it, you can't follow it..."

After reciting silently, she came to the point of "Missing a man without his wife and falling in love with him, missing a daughter without her husband and getting pregnant." Suddenly, some horrific images appeared in her mind, and she turned over again.

The whole night passed in a daze, and I was too lazy to get up the next day.

Until I heard a noisy knock on the door, it was Li Shiniang who kept knocking on the door.

"Seventeenth Mother, are you up? Get dressed quickly, Xue Baike will be here soon. Don't wear Taoist robes today..."

~~

After nine months, Xue Bai once again entered the Youxiang Mansion.

Now is the osmanthus season, and the whole mansion has a faint fragrance.

The person who led him through the corridor was Mian'er, who greeted him with a smile all the way, but occasionally looked at him with a bit of resentment, and in the end she couldn't help but complain.
To be continued...
