Chapter 258 Covering the sky with one hand?
"Your Lord, due to the decree in the palace the day before yesterday, the son-in-law of Princess Dongping has been decided, and there are also rumors that Princess Yunzhou will bring down the Zheng family." Du Furi said this and stopped implicitly, but Yuanxiu had already heard the meaning - now that among the three princesses in the palace, Yunzhou is one year younger than her, and it is almost settled. Naturally, they have to guess the fate of Emperor Xianzong's only legitimate daughter - no wonder Du Qingtang heard that it was the same reaction after a private matter. , but... this old guy is too joking! Not to mention that he is not trusted by the royal family and has been forced to serve at home, that is, he is still in the position of prime minister. The princess chooses her son-in-law. If it is not for the marriage, it is a royal family matter. How can there be discussed with a minister?
Even if there are emperors who especially trust their ministers and ask and discuss... That's also Fengchun's mouth, how can he come to ask for advice in person like Yuanxiu?
This old guy is obviously intentional!
Yuan Xiu's face was red, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at Du Qingtang with a faint smile: "So that's what the Duke just said. Don't you think I can even pick out a son-in-law?"
"It is precisely because of your beautiful face, youth, young, noble status, and deeply favored by today, which made the children of the He family fall in love at first sight, so that the seekers are like clouds, but grow up in the land of the emperor, and have been the imperial capital for a long time. There is a way to be a spiritual person, and excellent Langjun emerge one after another. I'm afraid that your lord is dazzled. Now the royal The elders withered, and I only thought that the lord remembered the affairs of the previous dynasty and came to find me to help me with one or two details. Du Qingtang replied confidently, "To tell you the truth, although I just felt that your request was a little embarrassing for me, after all, I will not be happy to see me interfere with your son-in-law today. I just thought that your master came to the door in person for such matters. I was really moved and thought that no matter how I handed it over to you in the future. Dai, you can't let your master down and leave! Your Lord..."
"Enough!" Yuan Xiu interrupted him with a black face and gritted his teeth and said, "I came to look for you today, not for this matter!"
"Isn't it true?" Du Qingtang said strangely, "What other private matters do you have to do to find me?"
Seeing Yuan Xiu looking at the people around again, his face suddenly changed and he said wary, "Your master, let's talk about it first - I have never known Yan Jiuhuai! As for the leader of Akamaru and Tanwanlang! What Yanxia, I haven't even heard of it! Your Lord is so intelligent and charitable by nature, I think you must be able to understand this!"
Yuan Xiu was silent and said, "Duke."
"Please tell me!"
"The Duke thinks... too much." Yuan Xiu sighed secluded and looked at him sincerely, "I just thought that Yan Xiaolangjun was mostly led by the Duke when dealing with the Duke?"
Du Qingtang looked humiliated: "Your Lord - I really don't know this person! By the way, is this person a man or a woman?
Yuan Xiu frowned. Du Qingtang seemed to be humorous, but she refused to talk to herself in private. Most of the time, she expected her intention and gently refused. She thought for a moment and said coldly, "The Duke said last time that he wanted to find the person. I don't know if he still needs to find him now?"
Du Qingtang finally ordered Yuren to retreat this time, including Du Furi, but left Du Guanqi to serve the tea. He smiled kindly and said, "Your lord, don't be too careful. Guanqi is not here for anything else, but although I am an official, there are still a few people who want this life. Of course, I am not afraid. Death, but dying in the hands of insects is the same as dying before the battle, doesn't it?
Yuan Xiu said lightly, "When the Duke made an appointment with me for the first time, I had already seen this man's skills. For example, Yan Xiaolangjun and others still hated the Duke but had no choice but to do anything, saying that there were no masters around the Duke, and I didn't believe it."
"Your lord is naturally as intelligent as the Empress Dowager Wenhua in those years." Du Qingtang smiled slightly, but Yuan Xiu's eyebrows jumped. When it comes to the Empress Dowager Wenhua who died in childbirth, anyone will think of Du Qingtang. Naturally, she is no exception. At the beginning, she saw this famous prime minister of the former dynasty for the first time in Chongyi Square. Although Yuan Xiu did not feel that he was an enemy, he did not like it very much. Now he hears about Du Qingtang. He took the initiative to mention it, and his expression was a little colder.
Du Qingtang observed her expression and said quietly, "Actually, I was very strange. At the beginning, I asked your master to meet in Chongyifang. I thought that you would definitely tear it up after receiving the invitation, so I invited Yan... Er, no, your master is elegant, intelligent and modest. Since I invited you according to the number of etiquette, I How can the Lord's temperament not go?" He asked with a smile, "It was only later that I met him in Chongyifang. I thought that your lord would want to... For the sake of the Empress Dowager Wenhua, there is always some resentment and hatred towards me, right? Why do you..."
Yuan Xiu looked at him scornfully: "Duke, you claimed to cover the sky with one hand in the previous dynasty, and you are a person who has been over power. I think you shouldn't be so confused."
Du Qingtang listened to her words, but was not angry. Instead, he restrained his teasing color and made a gesture of invitation: "I would like to hear more!"
"You cover the sky with one hand, just like a dark cloud covering the sun, which won't last long." Yuan Xiu said lightly, "What's more, you can cover the sky, but it doesn't mean you are the sky!"
"...so it is!" How clever is Du Qingtang? Yuan Xiu's words fell. He had already understood the meaning of his words, and his eyes looked at Yuan Xiu unconsciously changed a little. "I have underestimated your master." After thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "I don't underestimate the noble lord, or the Empress Dowager Zhaoxian!"
Yuan Xiu drew a trace of doubt on her face, but she thought for a moment and suddenly showed a look. She said indifferently, "The Empress Dowager Zhaoxian is indeed virtuous."
Du Qingtang said with a smile, "In this way, you don't blame me. I understand, but I don't know if you blame the sky and the sun?"
"In the world, if you are raised by nature, how can you complain and hate the earth? What does it mean to shine in the world and be born without taking a penny? Yuan Xiu said lightly, "The Duke is a person who has been a prime minister. There is a saying that the prime minister can support the boat in his belly. It is said that the prime minister's belly is so big, but don't forget that this dynasty also has the royal demeanor of 'not deaf nor mute, not being a man'! I have been raised in the deep palace since I was a child, but I don't even understand these principles!"
"So since the eldest son has found your master, I don't know what your master intends to do?" When Du Qingtang heard this, he asked leisurely.
Yuan Xiu frowned slightly, and then she felt that Du Qingtang's seemingly tentative questions had actually mastered the rhythm of the conversation. Originally, she exchanged the opportunity to talk privately by implying that she knew the whereabouts of the eldest son. But after a conversation, Du Qingtang now the situation She took the initiative but favored him... Yuan Xiu was young, and her experience was not comparable to Du Qingtang, but she was born in the royal family and has been flattered and attached to the people around her since she was a child. She was extremely ** in the status of the conversation, but she didn't expect to notice it until now - no wonder Yan Jiuhuai has been deeply alert to Du Qingtang!
"At the beginning, the Duke once mentioned this person and mentioned a mystery of that year." Yuan Xiu was naturally unwilling to be led away by Du Qingtang like this. She thought for a moment and decided to counterattack. She asked, "I don't know if the Duke can tell me what is that even the Duke is confused about?"
Du Qingtang pondered. After a long time, he probably saw that Yuanxiu had no intention of talking about getting the answer, so he had to answer helplessly, "In fact, this matter has something to do with the Guo family!"
Yuanxiu pulled back a city, but he was not happy and said solemnly, "Guo family?"
