Chapter 706: Telepathy

The Chu family has an open-minded family tradition. Mrs. Chu is recognized in the circle of the rich and powerful as a tolerant and easy-going person. It can be seen that Chu Nanyi also lives a comfortable life at home. Not only that, he and Xie Jin also have an incomprehensible tacit understanding - this actually makes many legitimate sons of noble families jealous.

There is no need to elaborate on what kind of person Xie Jin is. There are not many people who can catch his eye. On the contrary, those who have offended him in the past have a deeper impression of him. This person who used to look down on the crown prince of the Prince of Wei's Palace is close to Chu Nanyi. On the other hand, how many legitimate sons of other noble families want to have a good relationship with Xie Jin but can never get recognition?

So it is understandable that they are not happy, but they didn't expect Xie Jin to ask Prince Qi to call Chu Nanyi "Second Brother". Even if it is a joke, it makes people feel outrageous.

"Master Jiu is indeed a favorite of the emperor." Chu Nanyi smiled faintly, "This marriage is unprecedented and unparalleled. It is an opportunity that no one else has, and it deserves blessings."

As he spoke, he handed over the gift in his hand, "This mandarin duck brush washer is a rare item. I give it to Master Jiu as a token of my appreciation. I hope Master Jiu will accept it."

Mandarin duck brush washer?

Everyone looked closely and saw that it was indeed a pair of mandarin ducks leaning against each other, with a white background and blue and white carved patterns on the brush washer. Although it was not as valuable as the jade mandarin ducks given by Prince Qi, it was exquisitely shaped and had a good meaning... If it was given to a newlywed couple, the meaning would indeed be beautiful.

The expressions of the young masters were no longer subtle. Did these people have a plan in advance and deliberately come to add insult to injury?

Xie Jin smiled casually: "Have you all agreed today to send me mandarin ducks?"

"Agree?" Chu Nanyi was slightly surprised, as if he had no idea what was going on. He turned his eyes and said, "Are there others who also sent mandarin ducks?"

Xuanyuan Qi and Mo Lingan nodded slowly.

Chu Nanyi said, "So we are in sync, or do heroes think alike?"

Mo Lingan said, "It's better to be in sync."

"Your Majesty's marriage is a great honor, and you should give the highest blessings." Xuanyuan Qi gestured to Chu Nanyi and asked him to sit down in the seat next to him, "We have the same idea."

Chu Nanyi smiled calmly, walked over, brushed his clothes and sat down. His movements were as gentle and calm as flowing water, without any restraint or tension.

The gentlemen did not ignore his movements, and they were silent for a while.

"Everyone should be here. Thank you for coming here today. I'll toast to you all." Xie Jin raised his glass and said, "Some of you are my friends, some are my colleagues, and some are my colleagues' sons..."

Everyone was startled and raised their glasses to clink with him.

"For example, Master Chen, Master Mo, and Master Xu." Xie Jin took a sip of wine and leaned against the pillar in the hall. "Your fathers are all my subordinates. They are always in the court. In fact, according to reason, I should have called everyone together early to get to know each other and make it easier for us to do things in the court in the future."

The faces of the masters changed involuntarily and they looked at each other calmly.

"People outside have always been unfriendly to me. They say all kinds of things. Some say that the ninth son of the Xie family is arrogant and domineering, and looks down on everyone. Some say that Xie Jin is unruly and moody. Some say that I am rebellious and have a perverse temperament... I was indeed a little reckless and acted too willfully in the past. I have carefully reflected on myself and think that I should change my temper in the future."

"Change my temper?" Mo Lingan turned to look at him in surprise, "Did I hear it right? The arrogant and unruly ninth son of the Xie family would actually reflect on himself?"

Xuanyuan Qi nodded: "It's really hard to believe."

"I can understand." Chu Nanyi "When serving as an official in the court, one must restrain oneself by the laws of the family and the country, and only by setting an example can one restrain others. Especially since Jiu Ye is now in an important position in the Ministry of Justice, he should be a loyal official who abides by the law."

"Mr. Chu is right, that's the reason." Xie Jin sighed, "The investigation of corrupt officials a while ago was a bit of a big deal, and I offended many people. Later, I thought about it carefully. If I get any evidence in the hands of others in the future, those who were offended by me in the past will definitely retaliate with all their might, so it is better to be low-key and humble in dealing with people."

Everyone was silent, and they were a little confused about his intentions.

Chu Nanyi raised his eyebrows: "So Jiu Ye is afraid?"

"It's not that I'm afraid, but I think I should be more cautious in my future actions, and I can't be so willful and reckless as before." Xie Jin smiled, and his smile was a bit dangerous like a fox, "But as the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, I am in charge of criminal laws and regulations. It seems that I should understand the law more, so as to provide more convenience for future case handling."

The young masters turned their heads to look at the lake at the same time. They always felt that the flower hall near the lake was really cold. It was a great torture to stay here and chat in this season. How could they have any leisure time?

In addition, what Xie Jin said made it impossible for them to maintain a relaxed and leisurely mood.

"Speaking of the law, I accidentally heard some bad discussions these two days." Chu Nanyi put down the wine cup and fanned it with a fan, "It seems that someone is guessing the king's heart and criticizing Her Majesty the Queen and the Regent behind his back..."

The cold wind blew in their faces, and everyone felt like falling into an ice cellar.

Some people even wanted Chu Nanyi to put down the fan and stop pretending to be so elegant. Could they also consider whether their bodies could bear it?

"There is really nothing you can do about criticizing your Majesty behind your back." Xuanyuan Qi frowned, "Although anyone who criticizes your Majesty without permission deserves to die, the law does not punish everyone. Everyone is saying the same thing, so we cannot arrest everyone. "

Xie Jin took a sip of wine and slowly shook his head: "This is exactly what I will do next."
