"Greetings to the Queen Mother. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

The girl is wearing an apricot-colored butterfly dancing and flying Shu brocade silk skirt, holding a lily bun, and the tourmaline beads in her hair are even more delicate and cute, Princess Ruyi inherited the good appearance of Emperor Qianyuan and Concubine Ning, even among the nobles in the capital, she is also outstanding.

At this moment, she was smiling and smiling to Concubine Ning to say goodbye, and when she looked back at Xie and Gu Yanling who were about to get up, she hurriedly stepped forward to support Xie and stopped Xie's salute, and then pursed her lips and smiled: "According to the seniority, it should be Ruyi to give my aunt a gift." ”

Xie Shi smiled, and introduced Gu Yanling first, but Princess Ruyi came in and saw a girl who was about the same age as Xie Shi, although she stood there quietly from beginning to end, and never made a sound, but her extremely beautiful face and faint temperament made people guess the identity.

Therefore, when Gu Yanling was about to salute, Princess Ruyi warmly grabbed Gu Yanling and said cordially: "Ruyi can see Cousin Ling at a glance, everyone in the world knows that the daughter of her grandfather's family is a model of noble daughters, in the past, she could only see it from her mother and aunt, but now when she sees her cousin who is younger than me, Ruyi admires the century-old etiquette of her grandfather's family even more." ”

Concubine Ning and Xie couldn't help but raise the corners of their mouths when they heard this, and Princess Ruyi became more and more familiar and said: "What kind of books do you read and what do you like to do on weekdays?"

Gu Yanling was moved by the liveliness of the girl in front of her, and couldn't help but smile and said: "The princess also calls Ah Jiu's cousin, since she is a cousin, why can't she call Ah Jiu like this." ”

Saying that, Gu Yanling's tone was slow and soft, and she slowly answered Princess Ruyi's question.

"On weekdays, Ah Jiuduo likes to study chess games and play alone, as for reading books, if you say "Female Training" and "Female Ring", the princess is only afraid to blame me for the scene. ”

When the girl said this, her bright smiling eyes flashed a hint of cunning, and the corners of her lips curled deeper: "Compared with those, Ah Jiu prefers to read the annals of all dynasties, especially those wild historical books recorded by non-scholars, which are more interesting than those official histories." ”

At this moment, Princess Ruyi heard it, with a glimmer of light in her eyes, and she liked the cousin in front of her even more, and the boudoir girls in the capital had more contact, and it was inevitable that there would be some contrasts.

It's the cousin in front of me, who speaks frankly and not pretentiously.

Xie Shi originally frowned a little when he heard Gu Yanling's words, a boudoir girl likes wild history books, which is really not very good. But when she saw Princess Ruyi's lips smiling with joy, even when Concubine Ning was also a little satisfied in her eyes, she didn't say anything anymore.

"It's a coincidence, I also watch what Ah Jiu loves to watch. ”

Princess Ruyi looked sideways at Concubine Ning and said with a smile, then happily turned back and continued: "But I like to read those idle travelogues the most, which have written all the interesting stories and anecdotes in Daxing. ”

Seeing the two girls at first sight, Concubine Ning's lips pursed slightly, and said with a smile: "Ruyi, Ah Jiuchu entered the palace, you go with her to go around, now the flowers in Wanxiu Garden are blooming, and the daughter's family always likes it." ”

As soon as Ruyi heard this, it would be best if she was not allowed to go back to the study to listen to the lessons of those old scholars, so the girl said happily: "Mother and I have gone together." ”

Gu Yanling knew that Concubine Ning and the Xie family had something to say, so she squatted down slightly, and pulled her out by Ruyi.

Concubine Ning looked at the distant figures of the two girls with satisfaction, a smile appeared on her lips, and she turned her head sideways and said to Xie Shi: "Ruyi is used to it, I have always been high-spirited, and I am not very familiar with the daughter of the same age next to me. ”

Xie Shi said with a smile: "Ah Jiu has an introverted personality, and he is always a little alienated from others, I was still a little worried at first, but now I feel more at ease." ”

"You think about it too much, I don't know how many people in this capital praise us Ah Jiu. ”

Xie Shi smiled slightly, and only listened. Concubine Ning's smile was slightly condensed in the corners of her eyes, and there was a little more imperceptible seriousness in her tone.

"Ah Yu Mo thinks I'm joking with you, but our Ah Jiu's goodness has even spread in the palace. ”

Xie Shi paused slightly when he heard this, and raised his eyes to Concubine Shangning's eyes: "Sister means that it is not a saint-"

Concubine Ning waved her hand, and said with a smile on the corner of her lips: "The Holy Lord didn't mention this matter, it's just that the last time you entered the palace, you didn't happen to meet Changchun Palace." ”

Xie Shi thought about it, and even had some eyebrows, and Concubine Ning also knew that Xie Shi had understood most of it, so she said in a tone that was not in a hurry or slow: " After you left, Cheng Guifei came to me to gossip, speaking of you, then the topic was pulled to Ah Jiu, Cheng Guifei only said that her maiden niece was far away in Xu County, and the Nine Emperors were not always by her side, only she was alone in Changchun Palace, a little less interesting, saying that our Wang Xie and the two families are world friends, and our Ah Jiu is no different from her niece, and I said that if Ah Jiu was summoned into the palace one day, she would tell her that she also wanted to see our Ah Jiu, so that Ah Jiu also recognized the door of Changchun Palace, and she could also go to her palace to play. ”

After hearing this, the corners of Xie Shi's lips grinned, and he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Concubine Cheng's words couldn't be clearer, where is this asking Ah Jiu to recognize the door, it is clearly to let our Xie family and Gu family go to recognize her Wang family." ”

As soon as Xie's words fell, he asked again: "Then why don't you see Concubine Cheng come today?"

"I ordered someone to report to Changchun Palace, but I heard that Concubine Cheng was infected with a cold, and she was sick today, so it should be impossible to come, but——"

Concubine Ning dragged her voice slightly, but the smile on the corner of her lips was hidden: "She asked Ah Jiu to give a meeting gift, this gift is not light, it is a set of red gold phoenix eye gems made of Fengfei peony head made of red gold phoenix eye gems given by the saint of Changchun Palace that day, Cheng Guifei has always been precious and tight, and she has never worn it." ”

The hall suddenly calmed down, and seeing that the Xie family's smile had been suppressed, Concubine Ning said: "This matter is not in a hurry, no matter how heavy the gift is, in the end it is just a private temptation, and it has not yet been moved to the table, the marriage of children is a big deal, especially in our family, it is much more complicated in the meantime, not to mention that Ah Jiu is still the eldest granddaughter of the Gu family, can you also listen to the opinions of the Gu family, whether it is successful, if not, we will send a bigger return gift, and people can't say anything." ”

Xie Shi frowned, hesitated slightly for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Concubine Ning, and gently suppressed his voice.

"Don't hide it from Sister A, the Nine Emperors are also right with Ah Jiu in terms of appearance and family background, but it's just ...... The prince was born frail, although there is no major problem, but in the end people have to worry about it. ”

Concubine Ning nodded knowingly, but said in a kind tone: "What you think is not wrong, it's just that since Gaozu, the daughters of our Xie family have always married with the royal family from generation to generation, this is not our Xie family's rules, but it is a good strategy to appease the emperors of Daxing and eliminate the royal family's suspicion of our family." ”

Concubine Ning got up slowly, stepped off the pedal, sat lightly beside Xie's side, raised her hand and pressed it on Xie's hand: "The family has grown to its peak, until now there is a hidden trend of decline, the family that has sprung up in the past has been wiped out, and now only my Wang Xie and the two families are left to rely on each other, and now Ah Jiu's daughter of this generation is only wishful with her, Ah Jiu's grandfather is now the cabinet elder, and his status is noble, Ah Jiu is undoubtedly the best choice for marriage." ”

Concubine Ning looked at Xie Shi, only to see Xie Shi's expression slightly loosened, his eyes gradually cleared, and the hall was quiet only to the sound of the Western bell, and after a while, Xie Shi slowly raised his head, his expression was as calm and soft as ever.

"In the thirteenth year of the Nine Emperors, the friendship between the Wang family and my Xie family is also a good place for Ah Jiu, who can marry for the Xie family's century-old family and inherit the trust of the ancestors, which is the blessing of Ah Jiu. ”

Concubine Ning knew that the young sister in front of her, like every generation of Xie's daughters, was focused on the fate of the family in this life, maybe others only felt stubborn and crazy, but for them, this was pride and responsibility.

Just like those soldiers who are willing to die on the battlefield for you, as long as they can keep the Xie family standing in the storm, what if it is really a horse leather shroud?

Concubine Ning sighed inaudibly, and her tone was as serious as she had never been: "Ah Jiu is smart, and he will definitely understand the importance of it." ”

Xie nodded lightly, in fact, since Ah Jiu was born, she had already thought that today, with Ah Jiu's identity, she would inevitably marry the royal family, and the closest to the emperor and the right age with Ah Jiu were none other than Xiao Yan, the ninth son of the emperor, and Xiao Yi, the eldest grandson of the East Palace.

Xiao Yi's status is noble, her character is excellent, and she is very popular with today, but it is precisely because of Xiao Yi's identity that this East Palace is full of dangers, and others may look harmonious, but she knows that the current Empress Dowager Guo, the emperor, the empress, the eldest princess Zhaomao, and even the prince and the princess who have been ill for many years are intertwined, and they don't know how much competition there is in private.

If Ah Jiu is the eldest grandson concubine, it seems to be noble and glorious, but in fact, it is tantamount to stepping into a deadly whirlpool, and the most important thing is that the Xie family and the Gu family, who have never participated in the dispute between the dynasty and the party, will also be dragged into it, and become a complete prince.

She can't take the Xie family to make this bet, not even the Gu family, not to mention the current scenery of the Xie family and the Gu family, and there is no shortage of the name of the emperor's eldest concubine.

On the other hand, Xiao Yan, the ninth prince, saw that he was also a young man, with an extraordinary family background, but it was a pity that he was sick and riddled with many diseases, so he could only be an idle prince, but because of this, he had never been involved in the disputes in the palace, but it was rare to stay out of the matter, and besides, the Wang family and the Xie family could be regarded as knowing the roots.

Under the two phases, if Ah Jiu is promised to the emperor's eldest grandson, if he is defeated, it will be the time of death and overthrow; but if it is promised to the nine emperors, no matter who wins or loses in the future, it is indispensable to be an idle princess with the strength of the two families.

Thinking of this, Xie's eyes deepened, so it was not only for Ah Jiu's good, but also for the Xie family's good, thinking that Ah Jiu could also understand her trade-offs, in the end, she was also her mother, wasn't she.
