MTL - The Crown Prince Chases His Wife-Chapter 49 Misunderstand
On the night of mid-autumn, Concubine Xian held a moon viewing banquet in the imperial garden of the inner court.
Xie Changyuan came from the Beiya Imperial Barracks and waited for the carriage of the Yongding Marquis Mansion at the Xihua Gate of the imperial city.
A Yan and Xie Qing got off the same carriage, and Xie Changyuan was accustomed to their interactions.
Since the last time in the western suburbs camp, Prince Feng Zhan talked to Xie Changyuan, Xie Changyuan re-examined his mother's affairs, and his anger towards Xie Zhao and Xie Qing was much lessened.
Yongding Hou's mansion has not had a mistress in these years. As the young lady of the Hou mansion, Xie Qing is in charge of the affairs of the mansion.
A Yan's current status is still only the side room given to Xie Changyuan by His Majesty. According to the regulations, the side room cannot be allowed to enter until Xie Changyuan marries his wife. Therefore, A Yan's marriage is still delayed.
A Yan didn't have any friends in Shangjing, so she just walked with Xie Qing more, and Xie Changyuan didn't stop her too much.
When he arrived at the seat, Xie Changyuan scanned the audience.
Xie Changyuan planned to take advantage of today to explain the previous misunderstanding with Qin Yan.
But she doesn't seem to be here yet.
Xie Changyuan asked Xie Qing to bring A Yan to the table, and he said that he had something to do and left alone.
------
Qin Yan and Fang Su had just entered the imperial garden, and a person approached him.
"Mrs. Shen, Zhaoren County Lord." Xie Zhao stepped forward and stopped two steps away from Qin Yan.
Fang Su looked suspicious, she had never seen the man in front of her.
Xie Zhao introduced himself, "Mrs. Shen, the last general is from the Pingxi Army."
Xie Zhao seemed to be unwilling to be associated with Yongding Hou's mansion, and never mentioned his father's name outside.
At this time, at the corner five steps away from the corridor where Qin Yan and Xie Zhao stood, there was a clump of lush purple bamboos. Xie Changyuan came from the other direction and just heard Xie Zhao and Qin Yan greet him.
Xie Changyuan stopped, he was going to wait for Xie Zhao to leave before going out.
Xie Zhao looked at Qin Yan, "Zhaoren County Lord, can you take a step to speak?"
Qin Yan nodded.
After Fang Su left, Xie Zhao said to Qin Yandao:
"Zhaoren County Lord, I am the eldest son of Xie'an, Marquis of Yongding." Xie Zhao was a little ashamed to reveal his identity, but if he didn't say so, Qin Yan might not know who he was at all.
"General Xie, I have seen your skills in Shanglinyuan and Xijiao paddock." Qin Yan made no secret of his appreciation for the opponent's skills.
After the purple bamboo bushes, Xie Changyuan sank in his heart when he heard such unfamiliar and unfamiliar conversation between Qin Yan and Xie Zhao. It seemed like they didn't really meet before. What happened to the rumor that Qin Yan was able to protect Xie Zhao in the Pingxi army camp in the northwest that year?
Xie Zhao solemnly said to Qin Yan:
"I would like to thank Zhaoren County Lord. I am three years late for this thank you. When Xie Shizi came to the Pingxi Army to be important, I was outside the Prince's tent and heard the words of the County Lord. If not The righteousness of the county master back then will not have the thank you photo today."
"No need to say thank you, this is your own creation. General Xie, excuse me." After speaking, Qin Yan left.
Xie Zhao looked at the back of Qin Yan's departure, still standing there.
Xie Chang Yuan was shocked and puzzled in his heart.
He was shocked by Qin Yan's estrangement from Xie Zhao, so what was his heart knot with Qin Yan over the past few years because of Xie Zhao?
He wondered again, what exactly did Qin Yan say back then, so that Duke Zhen would not let him go, and let Xie Zhao remember it for so many years.
------
Xie Changyuan walked out.
Xie Zhao turned around and looked at Xie Changyuan.
After a while, Xie Changyuan said:
"What did Qin Yan say back then?"
Xie Zhao just looked at Xie Chang Yuan indifferently, without saying a word.
Xie Chang Yuan suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Xie Zhao's collar with one hand.
"Speak." Xie Chang Yuan's tone was somewhat fierce.
At this time, Xie Changyuan didn't know whether he was angry with Xie Zhao's silence, or he was angry about his own misunderstanding of possible Qin Yan.
Xie Zhao indifferently lowered his eyes and glanced at Xie Changyuan's hand holding his collar.
Xie Chang Yuan squinted his eyes, took a deep breath, let go, withdrew his steps, and took two steps away from Xie Zhao again, but his eyes were still staring at the indifferent Xie Zhao.
Xie Zhao seemed to understand something at this moment. Back then, when Xie Changyuan didn't want anyone in the Pingxi Army, he should have blamed the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and even blamed Qin Yan.
Could this be the reason why Xie Changyuan denied his engagement with Qin Yan at the city gate?
If so... Oh, Xie Zhao doesn't mind telling Xie Chang Yuan the truth. He wanted to see how the arrogant Xie Shizi regretted it.
Xie Zhao looked at Xie Changyuan and said:
"Back then, you asked Duke Zhen Guo to hand me over at the Pingxi Army Camp. Before the Duke made a decision, he asked Qin Yan for his opinion."
"At that time, I was outside the coach's tent, and I personally heard what Qin Yan said to the grandfather of the country."
"She said, 'Since he joined the army, his identity is only a soldier guarding the border and guarding the border, a son of guarding the family and defending the country. At this moment, he is the son of all the people of Daxia, no longer the son of anyone alone. Not the illegitimate child of anyone alone.'"
After Xie Zhao finished saying these words, in Xie Changyuan's eyes, he read shock, guilt and remorse.
Xie Zhao left with satisfaction.
------
Xie Changyuan stood alone in the corridor, unable to calm down for a long time.
If it is said that Qin Yan tried his best to protect Xie Zhao, it is indeed true.
But if Qin Yan did not care about Xie Changyuan's fiancé, it would not count.
How could Xie Changyuan not understand that if the Pingxi Army agreed to hand over the thank-you photo due to personal relationships, it would have a negative impact on the army, and General Bian would be unstable, which was a big taboo.
Xie Chang Yuan only felt that Duke Zhen Guo might think so and not let him go.
Unexpectedly, a woman in Qinyan District would have such insight, such a mind and bearing.
At this moment, Xie Changyuan hated his anger because of hatred, lost his mind, and misunderstood Qin Yan for so many years, so that he is now a stranger to Qin Yan.
If there was no misunderstanding in the past, Qin Yan is still his fiancée, and may even be his wife.
If there is no misunderstanding of the year, there are other men.
Other men who have ulterior motives towards Qin Yan, such as Xie Zhao, the second prince, and the crown prince.
------
Concubine Xian ordered someone to set up an incense table in the imperial garden. After leading the concubine to perform the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the moon, everyone entered the table one after another.
Today's banquet is not of high standard, and there are only palace concubines and officials and family members of various governments on the banquet.
Since the Queen has not yet returned to the palace, today's dinner and preparations for the Longevity Festival are still being discussed by Concubine Xian with the Ministry of Rites.
And Concubine Xian also invited several other concubines of the fourth concubine to do it together.
Concubine De refused because she had no experience. Concubine Jing said that she was not in good health and could not work hard.
Concubine Xian's proposal, only Concubine Shu readily agreed.
Concubine Xian is to gain a virtuous name, while Concubine Shu is to build momentum for the second prince.
After the banquet, Concubine Xian said to everyone:
"Today, the Palace is hosting a banquet to prepare for the upcoming Longevity Festival. Recently, the Palace has been discussing with the Ministry of Rites a program to celebrate His Majesty's birthday. The nobles and young ladies of the Palace, if you have good talents, You can report it to this palace, or to inherit Concubine Shu of Qiangong."
When everyone heard the words, their minds became active.
If you can show up on the Longevity Festival and win the eyes of His Majesty, it is a rare opportunity to win glory for the family.
------
The second queen of the Zuo Xiangfu's house, Jingyan, was very sociable. She went to Concubine Xian and kept talking, making Concubine Xian smile.
And Wang Jingyi, as usual, just quietly observed the people in the room.
Wang Jingyi's eyes occasionally glanced at Xie Zhao.
That day in the western suburbs hunting ground, Xie Zhao killed a tiger to save her. After that, Xie Zhao galloped up to catch up with the out-of-control horse under her seat, jumped behind her on a gentle slope, took her away, and landed safely. In one day, Xie Zhao saved her twice...
Xie Zhao, he was very different from the son of a noble family in Shangjing that Wang Jingyi knew.
-------
Wang Jingyi had something on her mind, so she left the table to disperse the smell of alcohol, and on a path, she met a palace maid.
"Miss." The palace maid saluted Wang Jingyi.
"Well." Wang Jingyi, as the eldest daughter of Zuo Xiang, the niece of the Queen and Concubine Xian, often walked around the palace, and also placed her own eyeliner in Concubine Xian's Jingren Palace.
The palace maid stepped forward and said something in Wang Jingyi's ear.
When Wang Jingyi heard the words, she turned around and looked at Qin Nian, the second daughter of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, who was about to leave the table in the distance.
In my heart, I really did not expect that Qin Nian was so courageous.
-----
Xie Changyuan was full of sorrow, drinking the boring wine sip by sip. He didn't pay attention at all, and the maid who replaced him with a full jug looked a little wrong.
Not long after, a palace maid came to Xie Changyuan's seat and said:
"Xie Shizi, Miss Ayan was a little drunk and said that Xie Shizi would go to Qichun Pavilion to pick her up."
"En." Xie Chang Yuan raised his head and drank the wine in his glass.
Xie Changyuan glanced at Qin Yan's direction again.
Get up and leave.
------
The palace maid who was serving at Qin Yan's table changed a jug of wine on Qin Yan's table again. Qin Yan picked up the wine jug and filled it with a glass, picked it up, and brought it to her lips, but suddenly stopped.
Qin Yan frowned, she seemed to smell a special smell in the wine.
Qin Yan's eyes were sharp, and she turned to look at the maid who had just delivered the wine.
But now there was no one behind her.
Just as Qin Yan was about to put down the wine glass, a blue-colored figure suddenly rushed towards her seat.
Qin Yan immediately stood up to avoid it.
"Ah, elder sister be careful..."
It was Qin Ming who fell in front of her.
Qin Ming got up in embarrassment and said quickly, "Eldest sister, I didn't mean it."
Just now, the glass of wine in Qin Yan's hand has been spilled on Qin Yan's neck. The cold wine wet Qin Yan's robe, and the aroma of the wine mixed with the special smell inside escaped into Qin Yan's nose. Qin Yan suddenly felt his body Get a little warm.
Qin Yan immediately reacted, it was an aphrodisiac.
She quickly glanced at Fang Su's direction, Fang Su and De Fei were talking happily.
Qin Yan ignored Qin Ming who was still apologizing in front of him, and strode away from the banquet.
------
"Eldest sister, eldest sister..." Qin Ming seemed unhappy when he saw the eldest sister, and his heart was bad. He originally came to say hello to the eldest sister, but it was someone who tripped him.
Qin Ming looked around and saw Wang Jingyu with a wicked smile.
Qin Ming stepped forward in two steps, "Is that your kid?"
Wang Jingyu said lazily, "Yes."
Qin Ming raised his fist, ready to punch Wang Jingyu in the face.
Wang Jingyu took a step back and smiled:
"Today's banquet is jointly organized by Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu. Why, you want to spoil the place?"
Hearing this, Qin Ming retracted his fist resentfully.
He can't make trouble for his aunt.
"If I were you, I wouldn't go to the Zhaoren County Master to block things. People, have self-knowledge." Wang Jingyu said lazily in a dragging voice.
Qin Ming was angry, but he couldn't attack.
He knew the conflict between the eldest sister and his father and mother, but it was a matter of the previous generation, and he was the elder sister's younger brother after all.
"Wang Jingyu, wait for me." Qin Ming let out a harsh sentence and walked away.
Wang Jingyu looked at the back of Qin Ming's departure and sneered.
------
Wang Jingyi quickly caught up with Xie Changyuan not far from the banquet.
"Xie Shizi."
Xie Changyuan frowned and turned around. It was Jingyi, the eldest queen of the Zuo Prime Minister's residence, and He Xiao's fiancee, and Xie Changyuan had no relationship with her.
Wang Jingyi said to Xie Changyuan:
"I have reliable information. There is a problem with the wine at the banquet today. Xie Shizi, please be careful. I don't want anyone to have an accident at this banquet and implicate the aunt, Concubine Xian, who is hosting the banquet."
Xie Changyuan was so preoccupied just now that he was in a trance and drank a few more glasses. At this time, Xie Chang Yuan realized that his body's dryness and heat were abnormal, not the usual reaction when he got drunk.
At this moment, after Wang Jingyi's reminder, Xie Changyuan realized that he should have drank the wine in question.
That Ayan...
Xie Changyuan said, "A palace maid just now told me that A Yan was drunk in Qichun Pavilion. Did Miss Wang see A Yan?"
Wang Jingyi frowned and recalled:
"I didn't see her. I don't know who this game is aimed at today. If you find someone, leave quickly. I have to go to Zhaoren County Master. When I left the table, I saw Zhaoren County Master's expression seemed wrong. She also left alone."
Xie Changyuan was startled, "Which direction is Qin Yan going?"
Wang Jingyi pointed to the other side.
Xie Changyuan said, "Thank you," and then walked quickly in the direction Wang Jingyi pointed.
That direction is the exact opposite of Qichun Pavilion.
Wang Jingyi looked at the back of Xie Changyuan leaving, sighed in her heart, and confirmed her previous guess even more.
Everyone felt that Xie Shizi regretted his marriage to Zhaoren County Master because he favored the girl Ayan in the mansion.
But it doesn't seem to have an inside story.
Wang Jingyi summoned the maid she had previously placed in Jingren Palace, explained a few words in her ear, and returned to the banquet.
------
About the time to touch a stick of incense, a palace maid hurried to the side of Concubine Xian, who was at the head of the banquet, and said something in a low voice.
Concubine Xian's expression changed greatly.
Immediately got up and left the table, before leaving, called Concubine Shu.
People don't know why.
What happened?
