This master is fake and cold

At the beginning of the 14th year of Chengde, February [-]rd.Auspicious day, suitable for marriage.The emperor's daughter Changle came out, and the whole world celebrated together.The emperor was very happy, and he gave amnesty to the world.

"Your Highness is dressed so delicately today, I'm afraid that when the son-in-law sees you, you will have to stare blankly."

The nuns specially sent by the queen in the palace twisted noodles, put on make-up and changed into auspicious clothes for Chang Le carefully.A group of people was busy running around.Today is a day of great joy, whether it is the nanny in charge of the princess mansion or the servants, all of them are smiling and talking auspicious words constantly, trying to win the favor of their master.

"Really?" Chang Le pulled the corners of his mouth reluctantly, and for some reason there was a bit of unnatural lethargy in his expression.Her phoenix crown and xiapei were reflected in the diamond-shaped bronze mirror. The vermilion lipstick was not gaudy, but the aggressive color was forced to be suppressed by her innate elegance, which made her full of nobility.Although today was a good day for her, everyone around her noticed that she was a little absent-minded, and her eyes were unfocused from beginning to end in unknown directions.

"Master, are you unhappy?" Goya asked cautiously.

Chang Le didn't answer immediately, she collected herself, looked at herself in the bronze mirror with no expression on her face, the self that she couldn't even recognize herself, she just felt so strange.Seeing this, the nurse next to her joked with a smile, "Your Highness is probably stunned by your own beauty, isn't it?"

"Is the son-in-law here yet?" Chang Le's voice was very low.

A maid who was in charge of this matter immediately replied: "When I went out to watch, I could vaguely hear the joy outside, and the caravan to welcome the bride should arrive soon."

Chang Le responded and fell silent.Goya knew there were outsiders present, so she didn't want to say more.But there is a tacit understanding between the master and the servant. After so many years of getting along, she even knows Changle better than herself.Goya was keenly aware that his master's mood today was really bad.

No, not just today.For a period of time, she has often been in the current state of being lost, and she always becomes dazed for no reason.But what was she thinking?Changle never told anyone.No one can know what is going on in her heart except herself.Even if they are as close as their confidantes, it won't work.

The master is in a bad mood, and the subordinates are so powerful in observing words and expressions, so they naturally discovered the abnormality of the master.The din of the crowd also gradually faded away, and the servants didn't dare to say any more, they just lowered their heads and carefully did their own thing.The sky is full of red dancing in the princess mansion, which is full of festiveness.But the joy on people's faces was not much because of their own masters.

After a while, another maidservant rushed in and shouted excitedly: "My son-in-law is here! My son-in-law is here!"

Nanny checked Changle's makeup nervously again, looked her whole body up and down, and saw that there was nothing missing, so she was slightly relieved, and while carefully covering her red hijab, she said: "Your Highness , let's go."

Chang Le nodded, Nanny and Goya supported her body from left to right, and a group of people surrounded her and walked outside.Walking along the way, although there are many attendants behind him, Changle always feels empty.She couldn't help but glance back.Although the eyes were still red and the hijab completely blocked her vision, she could clearly feel what she wanted to know.

Xishi's seat is empty.

During this period of time, Xi Shi and Goya are the two people she often brings with her.Goya is careful, and has been with her for many years, and she knows exactly what her every move means.She will always bring her tea and water at the right time, and she is considerate.Xishi is the exact opposite of her, with almost no sense of presence.He has always just held the sword and silently followed behind her.However, there is always an inexplicable temperament about her, which cannot be ignored at all.

Very contradictory feeling.

Chang Le stopped involuntarily and asked, "Where did Xi Shi go?"

Goya was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied: "Didn't you send her to carry out the mission?"

what task?Chang Le belatedly recalled her order a few days ago, and postponed the time of contact with the Four Seas Trading Company until after her wedding.Because of her decision, all the previous arrangements of Xishi had to be overthrown and restarted.

This is actually the result of her deliberation.She had to find out the temperament and details of this son-in-law before she could determine the direction of her next step.But this is really the worst result, An Xu can't bring her any help, it's just a waste of a move, with the Four Seas Trading Company as a hole card, she won't fall into a complete defeat immediately.

However, how to cooperate with Universal Commercial Bank?To what extent?The current situation is not very clear, and Changle himself can't make up his mind.But after the big wedding, she tested An Xu's attitude, and basically the answer would be clear.So before that, it is not appropriate for her to contact that lord for the time being.

In addition to this, she also explained one thing about Xi Shi.Su Er, Su San and others under her have been unable to find out about her father's past when he was young.Palace secrets have always been tightly sealed, and outsiders are not allowed to spy on them.In desperation, Changle wanted to ask Sihai Trading Company behind Xishi for help.As long as there is a little hope, Changle will not choose to give up. She wants to do the opposite, take advantage of traveling all over the world, and look for people who were released from the palace a few years ago because of their age and may know some inside information. Palace people.

This is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack, but it is also a helpless choice.She kept thinking, what exactly did the imperial grandmother want to tell her?Why can't she tell her directly, but why she has to use such a roundabout way?However, no matter from which angle she thinks about the queen mother's thoughts, she still feels helpless.She never really knew her grandmother, so how could she guess her thoughts?

But when asked why Chang Le insisted on paying attention to such a seemingly insignificant matter, she couldn't explain why.There was always a latent intuition in her heart telling her that what the imperial grandmother told her about her father's youth was the most important thing, and she had to find out the truth.

Xishi has been helping her with these things for the past few days.The Four Seas Trading Company has a large number of people, and countless parts are involved.At present, it is necessary to coordinate the overall situation so as not to hinder the operation of the Four Seas Trading Company; it is also necessary to coordinate the search range of the manpower under each person's command to avoid omissions or repetitions, resulting in useless work or waste of manpower, which requires a huge amount of time. effort.

Xishi has to meet with countless subordinates every day. In addition to discussing business matters, she also has to evaluate the achievements of these leaders.Those who should be rewarded for their merits should be rewarded for their merits, and those who should be promoted should also be promoted.Of course, there must be rewards and punishments. Some in charge who think they are a little clever, so they are swaying, need to be beaten, and some of them who are unforgivable crimes need to be dealt with directly to emulate you.

On the other hand, His Majesty completely became a hands-off shopkeeper. Seeing that there was nothing to do with her for the time being, he threw everything to Xi Shi.Xi Shi was so busy that she herself disappeared all day with her three cronies, and she didn't know where she went to harm the people.

"Today is my big day, has she forgotten too?"

Goya felt that he might have heard it wrong, and actually heard a few hints of loneliness from Chang Le's words.

She didn't know how to speak, and the people around didn't understand why she cared about whether a little maid was present at such an important moment, so she was completely stunned.Changle stood there for a while, before she could urge her, she put her hand on Goya's arm again, and said calmly, "Let's go."

Goya already had a vague guess in his heart that Changle always treated his servants equally, and basically he would not deliberately favor anyone.But since Xishi's arrival, she has always cared too much about Xishi's attitude. It doesn't look like her attitude towards her subordinates at all, but like... That guess is too shocking.She lowered her head and silently swallowed the words that came to her lips.

The auspicious time has come, the groom is sitting on a tall horse in a red auspicious suit, smiling slightly at the surrounding people, with a personable appearance and an imposing aura.Chang Le covered his head and couldn't see all this.But as soon as she went out, she was startled by the overwhelming noise outside, and immediately frowned slightly uncomfortably.The noisy quarrels and discussions of the common people, the drums and gongs and drums of the welcoming team gathered all their energy, fell into her ears, which inexplicably made her feel even more irritable.

The onlookers blocked the road tightly, and the officers and soldiers in charge of maintaining order were helpless, and tried their best to block the crowd, revealing a path for the wedding convoy to pass through.

Changle was helped into the sedan chair by everyone, and the motorcade swayed towards the newly built consort's mansion.Along the way, sitting in the soft sedan chair, Changle could constantly hear the people around them talking loudly, all kinds of speculations about the meaning of the emperor's move and the identity of the son-in-law.Changle originally listened to a few words for entertainment, but it didn't take long before a rough man's voice attracted her attention:

"If you want to talk about our son-in-law, he is really good at both civil and martial arts. He got a first-class result in the palace examination and was awarded the Jinshi and the first place. I don't know which gods bless him, and he was directly favored by His Majesty. It is said that some time ago, His Royal Highness met a thief, and he also got a son-in-law Your lord can only get out of danger by saving your life. He is brave and resourceful, loyal and courageous. According to such a character, he is not bad for our princess. But I have to say a few more words of justice. The timing of this son-in-law's appearance is inevitable Too much of a coincidence, right?

He showed his face in front of His Majesty earlier, and immediately became a candidate for Her Majesty's son-in-law.After that, accidents happened again and again, and even the originally scheduled competitions were completely cancelled.One ring after another, one step after another, step by step.Terrific!Terrific!This method has to be amazed!To gain His Majesty's attention and His Royal Highness's favor, from a white body to a second-rank official under the Sangong and one of the Nine Ministers, is simply a step up to the sky.Comparing it with me, people have to sigh that the fate of this person is different. "

There is a hint of jealousy and ulterior motives in these words, true and false, false and true.The big man said a few more words, and the soldiers of the Forbidden Army next to him came to their senses, and suddenly broke out in cold sweat.Let this person talk nonsense here again, if the words of the disobedient just now were heard by some master, or were stabbed to the son-in-law by a good-hearted person, their heads will definitely be lost.Frightened and angry, several people swarmed up, forced the big man to the ground, and tied him tightly.

The big man still didn't give up, and shouted loudly: "He An Xu's origin is unknown, why don't you allow others to say a few more words?! Pooh! Who knows how he got this position, but he is an orphan and has no father. No mother, no one to depend on, how did you grow up safe and sound? How did you have enough money to study in a private school? Where did Mr. Shuxiu come from? Where is he for food, clothing, housing and transportation?"

His roar was suppressed by the festive beating of gongs and drums. Except for the strange eyes cast on him by the nearby crowd, the others still raised their necks trying to see the appearance of the bride and groom, completely ignoring the disturbance here.Gradually, Changle's car and sedan were far away, and the unwilling voice of the big man disappeared bit by bit in the hustle and bustle of the sky.

Seeing the wedding convoy leaving this place, the guards in charge of this area breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.Today is a day of great joy, the soldiers did not carry any weapons, let alone see blood, otherwise the joy will be washed away, which is a big taboo.If someone directly ran into a nobleman like this on weekdays, their imperial guards have the right to directly kill him on the spot.Even so, the fearful soldiers wanted to cut this big man into pieces.The big man was still chattering recklessly, the centurion who heard the news gave him a hard look, and covered his mouth with a cloth in anger.Before he could say more, more than a dozen feet kicked the big man's body and face at the same time.

On the other side, Changle's heart moved when he heard the big man's words.After thinking for a moment, she called Goya, who had been following the carriage, and told her in a low voice to find the person who had just spoken.An Xu's identity is kept secret, she always thought it was her father who did it, but now it seems that it is not possible.

The big man seemed to know some inside information, but his actions were too deliberate, and he didn't know which force sent them.

She thought about these wildly, only feeling very tired.Even if An Xu really has a problem, so what?Today is her big wedding, even if An Xu really has a problem, this big wedding has to continue.It was impossible to terminate the marriage, she couldn't afford to lose this person, and the royal face couldn't be lost because of her.
