Zixue Beihan and Li Xuan both left the Nayan Mansion of Yue Parting and went to see Xiao Yan.

Soon, Li Xuandu saw Xiao Yan's family, but not in Xiao Yan's palace, but in Zixue Beihan's palace.

The little lady dressed up as a veiled maid of the royal court, mixed in with the many court maids, and came to the palace of the little lady in the name of serving the sister of Zixue Behan.

Xiao Yan was once known as the first beauty of the royal court, and from Li Xuandu's point of view, Xiao Yan, who is over forty years old, is still worthy of this name. I have to say that the years have been very kind to her and have not left too many traces on her body.

After she lifted her veil and revealed her true face, she kept smiling kindly, very sincerely, and there was no fox, arrogance, or coldness, which made people feel like a spring breeze.

After Li Xuandu saw Xiao Yan's first face, he immediately defined her in his heart - a woman who is very good at grasping men's psychology. Because a woman who can hold a high position in the royal court, a woman who supports Yaomu Huhan with her own hands, cannot be a gentle and harmless weak woman.

Xiao Yan brought a lot of entourage, but these royal court maids were all outside the door, and there were only three people in the palace at this time: Li Xuandu, Xiao Yan, and Zixue Beihan.

Li Xuandu took the initiative to get up and salute the mistress of the royal court, and Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Messenger of the Central Plains, you are not the same as I imagined. ”

Li Xuandu smiled and asked, "I don't know what's different?"

Xiao Yan said: "Yaomu Huhan thinks you are an old man, but I don't think you are, you are just a young man who is more mature than him." ”

Li Xuan did not admit it, nor did he deny it, he had read "Shizong Shilu" in a few years of seclusion, this emperor may have no way to govern the country, but the power technique is rare in ancient and modern times, very powerful, one of the keys is to let others not understand themselves, the unknown usually produces awe and jealousy, so as to take the initiative.

Li Xuandu said: "Actually, the Yan family is not quite the same as I imagined. ”

Xiao Yan didn't care about Li Xuandu and changed the topic, and followed Li Xuandu's words and asked, "Why is it different?"

Li Xuandu said with a smile: "Before I came to the Golden Horde, I thought that Xiao Yan would be like the Empress Dowager of Great Wei, but now it seems that you are not a person. ”

"Oh?" Xiao Yan had a curious look on his face: "The envoy has seen that Empress Dowager Xie?"

Li Xuandu nodded and said, "I don't know if the Yan family understands Empress Dowager Xie." She is a person from Liaodong, entered the court through the relationship of King Yan, and eventually became the queen mother, and I am also a person from Liaodong, so it is not unusual to see the Empress Dowager Xie. ”

Xiao Yan smiled: "I thought that the envoy wanted to say that he once had a singing and crying love affair with the Empress Dowager Xie, but in the end he had to separate because of the intervention of the Central Plains Emperor." Over the years, the envoy has never forgotten the hatred of taking his wife, and always wants to take revenge on the Great Wei court, so he will come to the royal court in the face of the world's disapproval, asking for help, intending to overthrow the Great Wei court. And the moment you see me, you think of your former lover. ”

Li Xuandu was silent for a long time after hearing this. If it was Qin Su who said this, he was not surprised at all, because Qin Su likes to write this kind of story, but it was Xiao Yan who said this, which made him a little speechless.

Li Xuandu reluctantly smiled and said: "The Yan family thinks too much, I only have a one-sided relationship with the Empress Dowager Xie, I know her, she may not recognize me." ”

Xiao Yan smiled: "I fell in love at first sight? and then I never forget, but I don't forget, there may not be an echo, and the infatuated person always makes people feel pity and pity." ”

Li Xuandu said: "I thought that the Yan family should be a figure like the empress back then, but I don't want to be such a vulgar person, how is it different from a woman in the market?"

This was said very politely, Zixue Beihan was already discolored, but Xiao Yan was not angry at all, still smiling, and said: "No matter what the identity of women in the world is, they are common in many places, this is human nature, and it does not change because of identity. As for vulgarity, the empress may not be elegant, and the women in the market may not be vulgar, and the envoy is in love. ”

From the meeting to the present, Li Xuandu finally felt the goodness of this little clan, and for the first time he experienced the feeling of being shrouded in the aura of others, and said solemnly: "Teach us." ”

Xiao Yan continued: "I haven't met Empress Dowager Xie, but I've heard a lot about her deeds, and I admire her very much. Although I haven't met Empress Dowager Xie, I have met Qin Qing, and she is a very interesting person. ”

Xiao Yan took the initiative to mention Qin Qing, Li Xuandu's identity at this time was a child of the Qin family, and his real identity was also Qin Qing's future son-in-law, so he no longer avoided it, and asked, "I haven't heard of this." ”

When he said this, Li Xuandu inevitably slandered in his heart, saying that this Uncle Qin Shi was clean and self-conscious, could it be a rumor in the rivers and lakes? In fact, Uncle Qin Shi is a merciful person everywhere, but it is not surprising that the person who can enter the white embroidery law is naturally not a mediocre person, and it is even more reasonable to be added to the blue eyes of other women. It's just that she pity Qin Su, a white embroidered dress has already become her heart disease, if there is another one, she doesn't know what to be angry about.

"It's not surprising, that was many years ago. At that time, I was not yet named a little clan, I was still a child, and I didn't know that at that time

The person is Qin Qing, and it wasn't until a long time later that I learned some secrets from many sources, and I confirmed Qin Qing's identity. I'm afraid Qin Qing may not have seen me as a person. Xiao Yan said unhurriedly.

Li Xuandu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that the integrity of the old man is still trustworthy. It's just that he doesn't know that in Qin Su's eyes, he may not be much better than Qin Qing, although he is clean, he can't stand the bees and butterflies.

Xiao Yan continued: "Qin Qing at that time was different from now. Although I am not very proficient in martial arts, I also know that Qin Qing has a good reputation among your Central Plains rivers and lakes, and rarely kills people. Qin Qing just didn't kill the people of the Central Plains, but he showed little mercy to the people of the Golden Horde. That time, he single-handedly broke into the Golden Horde grassland, traveling more than a thousand miles north, and the people he met along the way, no matter what his identity, were all killed with a knife, until he met the generals sent by the royal court, and he did not stop. At that time, he was far less powerful than he is today, so he was defeated by the cowardly Xue army captain of the royal court, but he still fought his way out of the siege and fled back to Liaodong. When I saw him, it was on his way to escape. He could have killed me with a single sword, but perhaps because I was a helpless little girl, he let me go. ”

Li Xuandu said: "I didn't expect to have such a relationship, it seems that our alliance has made a good start many years ago. ”

Xiao Yan's eyes swept away, and he said with a smile: "The envoy is really good at talking, much better than the wood in the royal court." They always act vulgarly, with only two faces, when facing a woman lower than themselves, they are rude and savage, and when facing a woman who is higher than themselves, they are like a piece of wood. The difference is like that between a bison and a ploughing ox, it is extremely boring. ”

Li Xuandu smiled: "A man who is willing to flatter and please a woman may not think of a woman heavily." ”

Xiao Yan nodded, and said thoughtfully: "So, there are many people who are unfortunate among men, which is really annoying. I occasionally look through the books handed down from the Central Plains, and many talented and beautiful people are also boring. ”

Li Xuan didn't understand why Xiao Yan always focused on the love between men and women, so he could only forcibly turn the topic back to the topic: "I don't know what the Yan family thinks of this alliance?"

Xiao Yan smiled: "What do you think? Of course it's a good thing, and I agree with it very much." The key is trust between the two parties, that is, the guarantee. It's like a mortgage, you have to come up with something trustworthy. ”

Li Xuandu asked tentatively, "What does the Yan family mean?"

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "I heard that the envoy has good force, even if he is cowardly with Xue Jun, he is not an opponent. ”
