After resigning, I switched to fortune-telling

Chapter 36

If Xie Tangru could hear the thoughts in the self-serving maidservant's heart, then he would definitely reprimand her for thinking wildly - because he is not picking a queen for Shang Qingyao at all.

——Xie Tangru seldom interacts with ladies from aristocratic families in Beijing, and at most occasionally meets a few sisters who are good friends and friends, and there is no mention of candidates for queens and concubines.He also wouldn't make fun of these innocent little girls - it was a harmless joke to Shang Qingyao, but not necessarily to the girls.

Therefore, Xie Shizi just discussed with Zhang Xianshi very seriously. If Shang Qingyao accepted the 72 concubines of the Sixth Court of the Three Palaces like the first emperor, the status of empress and noble concubine would not be enough for these people.When Shang Qingyao summoned them, how would he distinguish between his beloved concubines-it's not necessarily easy to remember how to give a title to each person.

It can't be arranged in the order of one, two, three, four, five, and a new number is added for each sleep.

Master Zhang Xian: "..."

Of course, by the way, he mentioned the nonsense thing he said to Zhang Xianshi before that "Cheng Wang fell in love with him at first sight and wanted to marry him".

At that time, she was married as a princess, but now she is a queen.

Immortal Master Zhang pondered for a long time listening to Xie Tangru's off-kilter words, and finally said slowly: "If the son becomes the queen, given the deep friendship His Majesty has for the son, I'm afraid there will be no worries about the Sangong Sixth Court."

"I don't think this is very good." Xie Tangru rested his chin, unable to tell whether the words were sincere or fake with a shallow smile, "Maybe the Taoist priest can ask the late emperor under the nine springs to get the answer faster. "

"I'm afraid I can't tell Shizi the answer even if I consulted the first emperor." Master Zhang stroked his beard, followed Xie Tangru's words, and replied calmly.

Xie Tangru smiled slightly.

Zhang Xianshi said again: "Since the son has such doubts, why don't you ask your majesty?"

Said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, as soon as Zhang Xianshi's voice fell, the footsteps suddenly turned closer, and the next moment Shang Qingyao and Wei Guogong appeared in Xie Tangru's sight.

Shang Qingyao raised his eyebrows: "What doubts do you need to ask me?"

Zhang Xianshi stood up and saluted, then stepped aside, lowered his eyebrows and said nothing.Xie Tang greeted him lazily, "Your Majesty."

The tone of the two words was dragged on by him, and there was a kind of laziness and a bit of joking in it.

There is no awe of imperial power.

Wei Guogong raised his eyelids, wanting to warn this boy to be more peaceful, but he heard Shang Qingyao take the first step and said with a smile: "What did Xie Shizi just say?"

"It's nothing." Xie Tangru's brows were sparse, his face looked like a blurred ink painting when he was not expressing, it was not an extremely beautiful color, but an unapproachable indifference.

Shang Qingyao really acted like he didn't know him, so although he thanked Tangru for his intention, Xie Shizi was still a little upset, as if knowing him was so embarrassing - he quickly suppressed this feeling, respectful Replied Shang Qingyao politely: "I'm just curious about His Majesty's outstanding military exploits and the deeds of repelling foreign enemies."

Anyone who knows Shizi Xie a little bit can tell that this is a perfunctory excuse.Of course Shang Qingyao could hear it, and he bent his lips into a smile unconsciously, and continued following his words: "If your son is curious, you can come to the palace and ask me directly."

Shang Qingyao continued under Zhang Xianshi's slightly surprised gaze: "I don't have a brother from the same mother. When I first met Shizi, I was very happy. I thought that if I had a real brother, I should be like Shizi. If Shizi is willing, please see me. It’s okay to be a brother.”

His voice showed closeness, but the word "brother" mentioned lightly made one's heart skip a beat—everyone knew that Shang Qingyao's two "good brothers" had just been deposed by him and demoted to common people.

Wei Guogong's eyelids twitched.

Xie Tangru said in his polite tone: "The late emperor has many heirs, why should your majesty regret the lack of kinship between brothers. I heard that the fifteenth prince, the youngest of the late emperor, admires the demeanor of your majesty's elder brother."

He didn't answer directly, but in the conversation of wise people, not answering immediately is already a kind of tactful refusal.

Zhang Xianshi thought to himself: The son of the Duke of Wei is indeed very courageous.

"Then this is my regret." Shang Qingyao sighed and said to Xie Tangru.

It can be seen that Xie Tangru doesn't welcome him very much at the moment. Although Shang Qingyao is not annoyed, he doesn't intend to stay here to make Xie Tangru feel bad.He exchanged a few more polite words with Wei Guogong, and then waited for Song Xuan to leave.

After sending Shang Qingyao away, Wei Guogong had the thought to teach the little bastards in the mansion a lesson, and sternly scolded Xie Tangru who turned around and wanted to leave: "Stop!"

Xie Tang turned his head lazily, raised his eyebrows, "Is there something wrong with you old man?"

"Have you hooked up with Shang... His Majesty a long time ago." Wei Guogong's eyes were bright, "I don't think you two are like the first time we met today."

And what Wei Guogong didn't say was that the strange atmosphere between these two people made him feel inexplicably familiar. It took him a long time to remember that when his wife was alive, they quarreled like this.

"It's definitely not the first time we've met." Xie Tangru rolled his eyes, regardless of whether his father would accept it or not, and said softly, "I didn't mean to kill someone before, it was him."

Wei Guogong's hand touching his beard froze, and his voice suddenly raised a tune: "So you went to Yuzhou and charged yourself with the crime of punishing the nine clans?!"

"Shang Qingyao didn't notice."

"Sooner or later you will find out." Wei Guogong blew his beard and stared. "There are clues to everything he has done. He is the emperor now. If he wants to investigate, there are a thousand and ten thousand ways to expose you."

Although this is a bit exaggerated, it is undeniable that Shang Qingyao held completely different power when he became king than when he was emperor.

Xie Tangru thought about it and felt that his father was right.He should be more vigilant against Shang Qingyao than before - especially when he is about to do something extremely dangerous.

……

The night in the palace seemed to be separated from the outside world by the square palace walls, so quiet that one could hear the sound of Chang Ge Shanghongying being blown by the cold wind outside the palace.Inside the hall, nine micro-lamps were lit, and the shadows of the candles merged into a swaying shadow. The shadow of Shang Qingyao sitting upright was elongated, and the too cold night made his eyes feel a little chilly.

Song Xuan hangs his head and stands below.

As one of Shang Qingyao's confidantes, he knew very well that Shang Qingyao was by no means a gentle and affectionate person, and his personality was not in the same category as "gentle".Song Xuan once thought that Shang Qingyao was a perfect monarch, possessing two diametrically opposed qualities of ruthlessness and kindness.

—and perfectly possesses the moodiness of a king.

The son of Wei Guogong dared to be too presumptuous precisely because he didn't know enough about the new master of the world.What concerned Song Xuan was Shang Qingyao's almost acquiescing attitude.

It can't be that our Majesty really regards Xie Shizi as his own brother, right?Mrs. Wei Guogong did not have an extra son.

But Song Xuan doesn't think it looks like it when it comes to being interested in sex.

So he had no way of guessing Shang Qingyao's thoughts.

Fortunately, not everything has to do with Xie Tangru, Song Xuan finished his slander, and reported to Shang Qingyao sternly: "There is a change in the prison. I dare to guess that the people behind the scenes are going to do something."

Shang Qingyao seemed to laugh: "Do you think the purpose of the people behind the scenes is to kill or save?"

"This..." Song Xuan thought for a while, showing a troubled expression.

"But it's not important." Shang Qingyao laughed, "Anyway, it's always back and forth."

Shang Qingyao would never show mercy to those who wanted his life.So many years of experience on the battlefield told him that only by cutting the grass and roots can the future troubles be truly eliminated.

No matter what the reason is, it is not enough to shake him.

……

With a tense expression, Jianshuang pushed the door open and entered the room, showing the secret letter in her hand to Xie Tangru.

"The sky prison has leaked the news on purpose. There must be heavy guards guarding that night." Jianshuang asked, "My lord, when shall we act?"

Xie Tangru was standing under the window. He had just finished taking a bath, his half-wet black hair was hanging behind his shoulders, and the reddish face from the heat had not subsided, and it was in full bloom like a peony.He was quiet for a moment, then said softly: "Do you know when people are most likely to let their guard down?"

Jianshuang frowned puzzled - thinking is not something she often needs to do, most of the time, she just needs to carry out Xie Tangru's orders.And the specific implementation step is something that the people below need to consider, and she doesn't need to worry about it.

Therefore, the question Xie Tangru asked made the capable maid slowly look serious, and fell into deep thought: "We will release false news to attack in the second half of the night, so they will relax in the first half of the night."

"No." Xie Tangru turned her head and smiled slightly, "It's early morning—the time when the night is about to recede and the sun has not yet risen. Everyone's spirits are already very tired, but the person who was waiting has never appeared, only a moment away The clock is going to end. They're going to think — probably nothing will happen."

And in the early morning, the bustling turmoil in the imperial capital also emerged. The woodcutters and vegetable farmers who got up early to make a living were more likely to be invisible in the lively daytime than at night when they could be alarmed by just a little noise.

"Let's do it." Xie Tangru said here, put two fingers together and tapped on the window sill, turned her face to the maidservant and smiled slightly.

He was looking forward to this formal, evenly matched fight with Shang Qingyao.

The author has something to say: I still owe two and a half.
