Chapter 157 revealing what's on your mind
National Normal University.
Shiko Xunxiang is wiping the guqin in the pavilion. He has not been so leisurely for a long time. During this period, he has been helping Yanji to return to the banquet house. Now that Yanji and Duoduo have left, he doesn't know what to do.
"There is such a good elegance. How can you be without me?"
It was like falling from the sky. Si Kou Xunxiang thought he had hallucinations. He stood up and said with a smile, "Yan Ji, why did you suddenly come back?"
"Me," Yan Ji said with a smile, "Come back and have a look. Besides, I promised to come back to see you last time. It happened that there was nothing to do today, so I came over."
"Yan Ji, Duoduo, why didn't you bring everything back?"
"What," Yan Ji joked, "I'm the only one who came back. Aren't you a little disappointed, are you?"
"No," Si Kou Xunxiang said with a smile, "but I haven't seen him swinging around in front of me recently, so I still miss him a little."
"You also feel this way," Yan Ji said with a smile. "After being taken to the palace by my aunt in the past two days, I am the same. When I am not around, I miss him very much. When I am around, I feel that he is very annoying. There is really nothing I can do, just like lovesickness."
Yan Ji smiled and said, "But, you know, I went to the palace to see him today, and I almost forgot all about this dead child."
Si Kou Xunxiang's mood has also become much more cheerful with the arrival of Yan Ji. Since Yan Ji and the others left, they have not smiled so happily for a long time.
"How have you been recently," Si Kou Xunxiang said, looking into Yan Ji's eyes.
Yan Ji curled her lips and said, "It's not bad. Although the banquet house is full of calculations, fortunately, my parents are still very good to me. Recently, I have seen two aunts who haven't seen for a long time. They decided to push me to the position of the banquet house as the mother."
Two aunts, Si Kou Xunxiang frowned. If the guess is right, it should be Mrs. Shangshufu, and the other is the Empress Mingfei just mentioned.
Si Kou Xunxiang nodded and said, "If this is really the case, then Yan Ji, your chances of winning are really great. I'm afraid you don't need my help, and you can easily get to that position."
Yan Ji also nodded and said, "I think so. You don't know how powerful these two aunts are. That momentum is beyond my reach."
Shiko Xunxiang said with a smile, "Yan Ji, the reason why the wife became a wife of the order is a great affirmation of the emperor, as well as the Empress Mingfei. Although there are other concubines around the emperor for so many years, the Empress Ming has never fallen out of favor and can be like this in the palace. It's really not easy to have a smooth sailing.
"It's not simple," Yan Ji curled her lips and said, "I tell you, it's the same bloody when scolding. I'm really a little scared."
When Si Kou Xunxiang heard that Yan Ji was right, he was really happy for him. At the beginning, he was still very worried. Neither Duoduo nor Yan Ji could bear the sudden strange life, but now it seems that his worries are a little superfluous.
Thinking of what the little aunt said to herself when she was in the palace for a few days, Yan Ji wanted to tell Si Kou Xunxiang that she could at least help come up with ideas, but she couldn't say it anyway.
"Yan Ji," Si Kou Xunxiang put Guqin aside and said, "The sixth prince went out of the palace and went to the ice and snow country. I think you should know."
Yan Ji nodded: "Last time, the sixth prince took me to his summer resort outside the city and said that there was something important to tell me. As a result, he just told me about this matter, probably to deal with his business in the ice and snow country. He also had a Luanyu Villa there. Oh, it seems that the property of the sixth prince is really That's a lot.
Sikou Xunxiang didn't say anything. Luan Yuchun just told him to deal with some business, but what Yan Ji didn't know was that he was going to seek foreign aid, not only the sixth prince, but also the second prince, but also Zhan Lengze. Such a quiet capital will soon blow a bloody storm. Even the emperor can't stop it. .
Yan Ji looked at Si Kou Xunxiang's face and shook in front of him and said, "What's the matter? I was very happy just now. What happened to you suddenly?"
Si Kou Xunxiang shook his head and said, "No, Yan Ji, I think it's better for you to hold the power of the banquet house as soon as possible. Yan Rouer and the old lady will not give up easily. Now that you have the support of two aunts, you have a great chance of winning. Just seize this good opportunity, which is for many It's good."
Without the initiative to live in the banquet house, for Duoduo and Yanji, they have not been recognized by the banquet house.
Yan Ji nodded: "I know what you said to me, but you should also understand that although I have found two big backers in this banquet house, I haven't returned to the banquet house for a day, so I can't join hands with them to fight together."
Si Kou Xunxiang shook her head and said, "Yan Ji, this is not like yours. Why did she suddenly become so submissive? Did the fiery Yan Ji in the past say that she was scared when she returned to the banquet house?"
"How can it be," Yan Ji waved her hand, "I'm just waiting for an opportunity, a good opportunity. Although it is very urgent to take the status of the head of the banquet house as soon as possible, I still have to take it slowly step by step. Otherwise, if I am caught by those spider spirits in the silk hole, it's really not It's over."
"I knew you would say that," Si Kou Xunxiang stood up and said, "you have to understand that if you don't do it now, it will be really troublesome at that time. The longer it takes, the more you don't know what will happen."
Yan Ji said a little disapprovingly, "What kind of chaos can happen? Is it possible that the world will be in chaos?"
Si Kou Xunxiang didn't say anything. Now the princes in the palace should be regarded as a sign before the chaos in the world. The emperor has not determined the choice of the prince for a long time, so there is no way to get peace in this palace for a day.
Even if it is true, you should know that those princes who have not become the choice of princes really give up? Who is willing to give up the throne of the prince to other brothers is simply a fantasy.
"Forget it, I don't care if you say that the world is in chaos, of course I will hurry up on this matter, but there has been no news about what you are doing these days."
Si Kou Xunxiang, as a great master of the Flaming Kingdom, is very familiar with the movements of the princes in the capital. Zhan Lengze, Luan Yuchun and Luan Jingrong really want to resist and fight against each other.
The news that Luan Yuchun and Yefeng, the king of the Ice and Snow Kingdom, met at Luanyu Villa, has long been mastered by Si Kou Xunxiang, and even knows the affairs of the second prince Luan Jingrong and Mu Linguo. It is this coldness that makes people a little confused.
He has some contact with Jin Xingguo, and he is really a little confused about what the transaction will be like.
"I've been very busy recently," Sikou Xunxiang sighed and said, "I've been busy with trivial things in the court, so I haven't taken time to see you and Duoduo."
Yan Ji nodded. In fact, for Si Kou Xunxiang, he had always felt that he had bothered him enough. After all, he was a great master, and it was appropriate for the court to be a little busy.
The two were silent for a while, and then Sikou Xunxiang opened his mouth to speak again.
"Two days ago, I heard that your relationship with Yan's family was very unpleasant. Is this true?"
Yan Ji stood up and looked at the familiar Guoshifu Garden and said, "It's true. Don't you know my personality? Moreover, think about it, those people in Yanfu know that I want to be the head of the family. Of course, they don't want to, so they want to negotiate with me."
"What's the result?" Si Kou Xunxiang also stood up, "Have you had a showdown with them?"
Yan Ji is speechless. Even if there is no showdown, everyone knows it, because in the eyes of the Yan family, there are clearly two big words on Yan Ji's face.
"Si Kou Xunxiang, if I can't resist, don't think about whether I am the position of the mother of the family. In the end, I will take my son out again by the people of the banquet house. In this case, I will be too miserable."
"You won't."
Si Kou Xunxiang spit out these words, because he is very clear about Yan Ji's ability. Now with the support of Mrs. Shangshufu and Empress Mingfei, he is more sure.
Besides, even if Yan Ji has no choice, whether it is herself or Zhan Lengze, Luan Yuchun will scramble to help this woman achieve his wish. As long as Yan Ji wants to do it, they will definitely try their best to help her complete it.
"Don't think too much," Si Kou Xunxiang comforted. "Believe yourself, you have survived such painful days. Now you are no longer the former banquet girl. You are the royal guest. The queen and the empress dowager empress dowager have so much importance to you. Even the whole banquet house does not have such glory. The method is compared with you.
Yan Ji smiled. She really didn't expect that she had already become a superior. Indeed, this is the truth.
Originally, the resentment of quarreling with Zhan Lengze was so easily relieved by Si Kou Xunxiang, and even Yan Ji didn't know how to explain it.
"Si Kou Xunxiang, you're right," Yan Ji nodded and said, "I'm going back to continue to practice, so that I can defeat these cows, ghosts and snakes one day earlier."
Si Kou Xunxiang turned around and stared at him and said, "You can tell me anything in the future, and I can help you solve it. The position of the head of the banquet is really important for you. If you want to find out what happened in those years, there is also protection. Well, you have many sons, then you must get them.
Yan Ji knows very well the importance of this position to herself. Nowadays, although the people in the banquet house accept her on the surface, they still secretly try their best to sweep them out of the door.
Siu Xunxiang is right. The longer this matter lasts, the less good it will be for him and his son. He must solve it as soon as possible. At the same time, this is also the mother's expectation for him.
"Don't worry," Yan Ji sighed and said, "I won't be defeated so easily. The people in the banquet house should return it to me, and everything will be returned."
