Although it is a bleak time in autumn, it is still a scene of thousands of flowers blooming in the palace, only a few pieces of dry branches and fallen leaves rolled by the breeze can show a little autumn color, and at this moment in Cining Palace, the most beautiful bloom belongs to that piece after piece of precious autumn chrysanthemum varieties, or yellow, or white, or purple, or ink, all the silk hangs down, like a cluster of fringed hairpins between the girl's hair and sideburns, the beauty makes people can't take their eyes off.

When Xiao Yi came here, what he saw was this quiet and elegant picture, the palace people in front of the courtyard were carefully waiting for these "heart treasures" of the Empress Dowager Guo, and they didn't dare to slack off until they saw Xiao Yi enter the door, so they hurriedly put down the shower in their hands and saluted respectfully: "Your Royal Highness, Eldest Sun." ”

Xiao Yi bowed his head lightly, and walked along the road to the main hall where the Empress Dowager Guo was, and under the short wall outside the palace gate, a wisp of indisputable clear sound flew to the wall with this warm autumn light, Xiao Yi almost involuntarily paused, listened attentively for a few minutes, the timbre was smooth and smooth, it can be said that from the sound of the piano can introduce people into the scenery of the song, you can hear that this wisp of sound clearly outlines the leisurely scenery of Nanshan.

After thinking about it, Xiao Yi, who has always had very high requirements for the sound of the piano, couldn't help but be a little more sure of the sound of the piano, accompanied by this gentle and quiet timbre, Xiao Yi slowly paced to the front of the hall, and the sound of the piano became a little clearer.

At this time, Mama Yu was already waiting under the front porch of the hall, and when she saw Xiao Yi, she stepped forward with a kind and respectful smile, and bowed and said, "His Royal Highness the eldest grandson has come down." ”

Xiao Yifang nodded, and Mama Yu raised her head and smiled: "The old lady of the Queen Mother has long called the slave maid to wait for you here." ”

"The old man of the Queen Mother called for translation today, but what's the matter?"

Seeing the imperceptible temptation under Xiao Yi's eyes, Mama Yu smiled and said, "The Queen Mother said that she hadn't seen Her Highness for several days, and she has been thinking about it tightly these days-"

Saying that, Mama Yu said respectfully: "Your Highness, please come in, the Queen Mother is waiting for you inside." ”

Xiao Yi glanced at Mama Yu, and then the corners of his lips slightly hooked up with a friendly smile and said, "Mama Yu let's go in together." ”

Under the flattered response of Mama Yu, the two walked in one after the other, and came to the hall, because the hall is wide, the echo in the hall is better, and the sound of the piano almost comes with the wind, which makes people feel a little more comfortable.

When Xiao Yi entered the apse and stepped on the smooth marble floor like a mirror, he saw the maidservants in the hall standing quietly on both sides, and the Empress Dowager Guo sat comfortably on the soft collapse, her right hand was slightly on the armrest, and she listened to the song with her eyes closed, Xiao Yi didn't look at it anymore, and walked straight in.

"Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson has come down. ”

Hearing Mama Yu's smiling voice, Empress Dowager Guo slowly opened her eyes, with a kind and kind smile between her eyebrows, and beckoned to Xiao Yi very kindly: "Come, come, I haven't seen you for a few days, and the mourning family can't remember the appearance of my great-grandson." ”

If this situation and this scene are seen by others, they only think that it is a scene of family happiness, but except for Xiao Yi, I am afraid that everyone present will know the hypocrisy and illusion at this moment.

"In recent days, I have been on several errands at the behest of His Majesty, and my grandson has not been able to visit my great-grandmother often. ”

Seeing the appearance of the young man in front of him respectfully bowing his hand, Empress Dowager Guo's eyes were as kind as ever and said: "Hey, the mourning family is not an old woman who ignores the overall situation, national affairs are important, today the mourning family calls you, you can come, hurry, come to the mourning family, and ask the mourning family to take a good look." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Yi walked over indifferently, and the Empress Dowager Guo immediately held Xiao Yi's hand and pulled it very closely, and when the palace people came to serve tea, Empress Dowager Guo motioned to Xiao Yi to taste tea.

Xiao Yi then pulled out his hand and took a sip lightly, and suddenly felt refreshed, and the taste was different from the tea next to him.

"How about this tea in the Mourning Palace?"

Xiao Yi paused slightly when he heard this, and then casually commented on two sentences, but in exchange for a smile from the Empress Dowager Guo, he said: "Look, you young people are still the most tricky." ”

As soon as the words fell, Empress Dowager Guo turned to look at the fuqin girl under the curtain on the left and said, "Guan Tong, come and salute His Royal Highness the eldest grandson first." ”

The smooth sound of the piano suddenly came to an abrupt end, and the lingering sound seemed to still be surrounding the beams, the clothes rubbed down, the girl slowly got up, and walked out, wearing a pink and purple jasmine dress quiet and elegant, Xiao Yi, who had not looked at the Fuqin side from beginning to end, frowned slightly at this moment, and gradually noticed something unusual.

Then, the girl's light and fluttering footsteps sounded behind him, although he did not look back, but the girl finally came to his side, respectfully and politely bowed.

"Guan Tong greets His Royal Highness the eldest grandson. ”

At this moment, Xiao Yi finally remembered that this daughter was the only daughter of Guan Qian, the general of Huwei, and Guan Tong, who had just been named the county lord of Anning by the emperor not long ago.

Sensing the slight strange smile in Empress Dowager Guo's eyes, Xiao Yi stood up, turned sideways lightly, and instantly widened the distance between the two by a few points, his eyes were cold and unfamiliar, but with a slight "um", he ended the conversation that had just opened.

Empress Dowager Guo didn't seem surprised by this, but kindly pointed to the tea on the case: "You don't know, this tea is Guan Tongwen's, the mourning family is now used to her, and her mouth is becoming more and more like you." ”

Xiao Yi didn't look at the girl next to him when he heard this, but just replied cooperatively: "As long as my great-grandmother likes it, that's fine." ”

The voice fell, and the girl beside her bowed and said: "As long as the Queen Mother likes it, Guan Tong's little cleverness will have meaning." ”

Empress Dowager Guo liked it very much, looked at the girl's eyes full of appreciation and praise, and then looked at Xiao Yi beside her with a slight corner of her eye, and sighed meaningfully: "It's a pity, if you leave in the future, the mourning family will not be able to taste it." ”

As soon as these words came out, the girl's face flushed slightly, and she was embarrassed to go back, but Xiao Yi, who had been silent, said: "Then the great-grandmother will leave the county lord of Anning by her side." ”

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Guo smiled, and couldn't help leaning over and said: "This is a joke, how can the daughter's family not get married, and people only say that the old woman is arrogant and domineering, and dominates the young daughter's family." ”

The corners of Xiao Yi's lips were slightly hooked when he heard this, and he said unhurriedly but quite seriously: "As the county lord of Anning, if the queen mother personally marries, recruits a good son-in-law for the county lord of Anning, and reopens a new county lord's mansion, you can have the best of both worlds." (It means that you don't have to marry far away.) ）

Empress Dowager Guo was slightly stunned when she heard this, looked at Xiao Yi's eyes with a slight strangeness, and then said strangely: "You think longer than the mourning family." ”
