"I naturally know the thoughtfulness of the concubine, this grandmother is really very good, and she is also thoughtful in her words and actions, but ......" Zhou Ying frowned in embarrassment, "Xu is old, and his hands and feet are a little unfavorable, and the vase accidentally broke one."

"The vase is broken?" The Emperor hurriedly asked, "Did it hurt you?" ”

"I didn't care, I was on the couch at the time, and it didn't hurt me." Zhou Ying said with a smile.

Xu Guifei was suspicious in her heart, her eyes turned between Zhou Ying and the old grandmother, and fell on the old grandmother, "There is still such a thing?" ”

The old lady looked up in surprise and looked at Zhou Ying who had been on the side for a long time, never imagined that Zhou Ying would rely on her for this, she was about to open her mouth to defend herself, and suddenly felt a chill in her heart when she looked at Zhou Ying's smiling eyes, and she couldn't say a word.

The two of them were the only ones in the room, and no one could prove it to her. Such an empty vernacular confrontation, one is a princess with golden branches and jade leaves, and the other is a grandmother who serves people, who is more credible, isn't it clear at a glance? Besides, the emperor obviously loves Zhou Ying, and although Xu Guifei secretly instructed her to humiliate Zhou Ying, she still has filial piety to Zhou Ying's mother and daughter, and refuses to take the lead in tearing her face.

In this case, even if she tells the truth, no one will believe her.

Taking a step back, even if she can't hold back this breath, she has to say it, so why does she make people believe that why does a princess use such crude means to frame a lowly grandmother who has just met? Does she want to say that she just humiliated the princess by testing the princess's innocence by giving the concubine's instructions, so that the princess was annoyed and angry?

So the old mother could only be full of bitterness, kneeling down and asking for sin, "It's all the old slave who is stupid, please ask the mother to surrender." ”

Xu Guifei was so sharp-eyed, she could see through the strangeness of the old grandmother's confession at a glance, she turned her head to look at Zhou Ying, her eyes were like electricity, "Xiao Qi? ”

Zhou Ying smiled slightly, "I know that the mother concubine has always been kind, and this mother can be valued by the mother concubine, and she has always been thoughtful when she wants to." ”

Saying that, Zhou Ying glanced at the old grandmother kindly, and then said regretfully: "It's a pity that the years are not forgiving, this grandmother is old, her legs and feet are not good, and it is just a small mistake, and our own family will definitely not be counted." But when you go out, there are many people talking about it, and if this thing gets out, others will not say that the mother concubine is generous and sympathetic to the elderly, but will only say that the mother concubine is not strict in discipline and is out of order. ”

The emperor couldn't help frowning, "What's the use of keeping it like this, if you can't bear it, just let her be honored, how can you lack her a bite to eat." ”

At this point, how could Xu Guifei not guess that this grandmother was calculated by Zhou Ying.

This old lady is also her confidant, otherwise she would not have been entrusted with a secret. For Xu Guifei, who is in a high position, one or two less chess pieces is of course nothing, but the key is that she clearly gave Zhou Ying a warning, Zhou Ying dared to be disobedient and obedient, and she was bold enough to return this slap backhand!

Xu Guifei's hand hidden in her sleeve clenched into a fist, gritted her teeth and smiled, "What Your Majesty said is that I was confused." ”

Xu Guifei looked at Zhou Ying with a heavy gaze. Zhou Ying showed weakness before, and the emperor was distressed and guilty about her, and there was nothing wrong with it, Zhou Ying was fragrant when she farted at this time, not to mention that she was so empathetic and shared her worries for her mother, even Xu Guifei couldn't say no.

This dumb loss, Xu Guifei can only swallow it.

As soon as the old lady heard Xu Guifei say this, she couldn't kneel anymore, and suddenly softened to the ground.

Seeing that the old lady was so unsuccessful, the emperor felt more and more that the decision to let her be honored was correct, and he didn't wait for Xu Guifei to speak, and spoke directly, "Qiao Rong, take this grandmother down, reward her with a hundred taels of silver, and let her leave the palace to raise her." ”

was slapped in the face by the emperor, but Xu Guifei calmed down, didn't feel annoyed at all, and even smiled generously: "Cherry, take another fifty taels of silver, two pieces of silk, and a pair of shrimp bracelets, and see off Mama." Don't worry, Mama, Your Majesty personally instructed you to raise Rongyang, this kind of decent ordinary people will never have it again, with this, Mama's family will have no worries for the rest of their lives. ”

Xu Guifei's words were gentle and gentle, which made people feel like a spring breeze, but the old lady shuddered, knowing that Xu Guifei was warning her to keep her mouth shut, otherwise she would not have a good life for the rest of her life.

The old lady straightened her waist and thanked her: "Thank you for your grace and Niangniang." ”

Of course, Zhou Ying knew that this idea couldn't move Xu Guifei's foundation, but she should always let her know that she was not a dog she raised!

The old lady was taken down, and Xu Guifei didn't look at it again, only occasionally looking at Zhou Ying's eyes with a hidden edge.

Zhou Ying got up with a smile, "After talking about it for a long time, I'm hungry, and I don't know if Xiao Jue has finished eating, so I'll go and have a meal." ”

Since Xu Guifei had made trouble with Zhou Ying to this point, how could she still want Zhou Ying to contact her baby son, so she hurriedly smiled and stopped back, "Xiao Jue was scared by His Majesty, so he must have eaten two bites indiscriminately and went to review his homework." ”

The emperor touched his nose and smiled, "It is obvious that I have become a bad person." ”

Of course, Zhou Ying knew what Xu Guifei meant, but she only frowned lightly and made a gesture of concern, "Xiao Jue has been hungry these days, and my spleen and stomach are probably a lot weaker. ”

The emperor really cared about Zhou Jue's son, and when he heard Zhou Ying's alarmist words, he couldn't help but feel anxious: "Xiao Qi is right, he shouldn't be careless." Qiao Rong, send the imperial doctor here, and then ask the kitchen to carefully prepare a table of light and restrained meals. ”

Saying that, the emperor got up and left resolutely, not forgetting to take Zhou Ying with him, "Xiao Qi is also here, you should also eat something good, let the imperial doctor take a look." ”

Zhou Ying responded: "I'll do it, only Xiao Jue is most afraid of taking medicine, but he can still listen to my words, I will persuade him to go." ”

The emperor glanced at Zhou Ying appreciatively, "Being so sensible and thoughtful, I have grown up in the end." ”

Saying this, the emperor had already strode out of the back door, and Zhou Ying bowed her head to Concubine Xu and followed.

Xu Guifei was so angry that her hands were shaking in the back, and Zhou Ying looked at her filial piety and thoughtfulness, but she was full of provocation and demonstration. She had long felt that Zhou Ying was so good to Xiao Jue, and the serious sisters and brothers were not so close, it turned out that she was hiding an adultery in the morning, and she encircled Xiao Jue to separate their mother and son!

Cherry stepped forward tentatively, "Mother? ”

Xu Guifei's eyes were red with anger, and she slapped Cherry with her backhand, "Useless thing!" ”

Cherry was slapped so that her ears were buzzing, but she didn't have time to be wronged, and knelt down to plead guilty, "It's all the slave's fault." ”

However, Xu Guifei slapped out, but she felt that she was out of shape, she took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and picked up the cherry with her own hands, "Get up." Although he knew that he was angry, he had no reason for the master to apologize to the slave and maid, so he only said, "The pair of peony golden steps that entered the previous child have been rewarded to you, you go back to apply your face, and then come up to serve after you are ready." ”

Cherry naturally knew that this was Xu Guifei turning a corner to apologize, and most of the shame and anger in her heart disappeared, but the other half went to Zhou Ying.

Although Xu Guifei didn't say it explicitly, how could Cherry not know that if it weren't for the closeness of Zhou Ying and Zhou Jue who stabbed Xu Guifei's eyes, how could Xu Guifei get angry and angry with her for no reason.

If you want cherry to say, of course, Zhou Ying did something wrong. Since the concubine Niangniang clearly expressed her displeasure, Zhou Ying should obediently kneel down and ask for guilt, take the initiative to alienate Zhou Jue, and retract her head to be an invisible person. But Zhou Ying dared to contradict Xu Guifei, not to please His Majesty, but also to use His Majesty's hand to slap his mother's face, and even let Zhou Jue not let go, he was really a white-eyed wolf who couldn't be raised.

Cherry made up her mind to share her worries for Xu Guifei, but at this time, it was difficult to do anything with an injury on her face, so she had to kneel down and thank her first: "Thank you for your reward." ”

Xu Guifei waved away the cherry, adjusted her expression, and went to the inner room at the back of the house.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw Imperial Doctor Chen writing prescriptions on the side, and most of the food on the table was also served. The emperor held the book, and seemed to be reading it seriously, but he seemed to be snickering.

Xu Guifei was about to grasp this handle, saying that Zhou Ying was unruly.

Zhou Ying saw Xu Guifei at a glance, coughed lightly, Zhou Jue got a hint, was too busy to play, obediently washed away the foam, wiped his hands under the service of the palace maid, moved forward weakly, and said to Xu Guifei: "Say hello to the concubine." ”

The emperor also smiled and put down the book, "Concubine Ai is here." ”

The relaxed atmosphere in the room was suddenly swept away.

Zhou Ying was kind and empathetic to relieve Concubine Xu Guifei, and invited An Dao: "The mother concubine came just in time, Father-in-law Qiao was thoughtful, and brought Imperial Doctor Chen over early in the morning, and Imperial Doctor Chen just showed it to Xiao Jue, saying that his spleen and stomach were slightly out of harmony, and he didn't need to drink medicine, as long as he took two doses of medicinal food." ”

Xu Guifei was so angry that her liver hurt, and it was obvious that they were a family, and she became an uninvited outsider.

However, Xu Guifei was deep in the city, so she only adjusted her breath, and said with a smile: "This is good, Xiao Jue doesn't need to take medicine, she should be happy." ”

Zhou Jue was teased by the concubine, her face couldn't help but turn red, and she fled to Zhou Ying's arms, "The concubine is talking nonsense again, I'm not afraid of taking medicine." ”

Zhou Ying hugged Xiao Zhou Jue and said seriously: "Yes, Xiao Jue is a manly man, so he is not afraid of those bitter medicines!" ”

The Emperor couldn't help laughing.

At this time, the food was ready, although according to the emperor's instructions, it should be made lightly, but it was also full of delicacies. In this half of the morning, the emperor and Xu Guifei were not hungry in the end, and only picked two chopsticks, but Zhou Ying and Zhou Jue swept the small half of the table dishes, which made the emperor feel distressed.

Xu Guifei only felt that everything was inappropriate here, so after eating, she said: "There are not enough people here, it is not suitable to stay for a long time, let's go back first." ”

The emperor frowned, "They have been calling themselves sick, if they go back like this, won't they talk to themselves and rumors will be repeated when the time comes...... Xiao Jue is a boy and it's fine, but Xiao Qi will be thirteen in the New Year, if one of them is not handled well......"

Xu Guifei's eyes flashed with a cold glow, and she said gently: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. ”
