65

Xue Yinong knew that the old man always cared about the marriage of his children. Unexpectedly, the Duchess of Guo said something else, she looked around, called out several of her grandsons, who were the same age as Xue Yanli, and stood side by side, asking them to greet Xue Yinong, "I haven't seen the emperor yet." ”

Everyone said in unison: "The grass people have seen the emperor." ”

Xue Yinong said: "Cousins and cousins are exempt. At the moment when the Duchess invited these people out, she had already realized what she meant, hoping that she could choose one for Xue Wanli as her husband, so that it would be easy to kiss and kiss, but she herself didn't want to care about Xue Wanli's marriage.

She also has the concept that close relatives of modern people can't get married, and she also has the old-fashioned stalk of disgusting cousins and cousins. And no matter how big the marriage is, it is also a personal matter, even if she is the emperor, she can't interfere too much, at least she doesn't want to interfere too much.

Xue Yinong pretended to be stupid, she praised it very much: "Cousin and cousin are all talents. ”

"What kind of talent, it's just not ugly, it's not young, it's not so annoying. If you think it's good, why don't you choose one of them and make a colt for Drift Away? The old body also asked your queen mother before, and she has no opinion. ”

"Hmm. Grandmother, you also know the character of gradual separation, I am afraid that my cousin and cousins will suffer when they are with her, and she dances with knives and guns all day long, and she doesn't look like a girl at all, and her cousin and cousin are so handsome and elegant......"

Xue Yinong's intention to shirk, the Duchess of Guo has already understood, this is not agreeing. Shenghou and Fuyinhou are the only two sons of the Duchess of Guo, and when they heard this, their faces were not very good.

The Duchess of Guo froze even more, but she didn't expect Xue Yinong to disagree. Although it is said that Xue Wanli does not look like a girl, it is actually useless to dislike her grandchildren. Let her live in the smoke and rain, and at this point, she is also quite embarrassed. It's just that she can't refute it, no matter how Xue Yinong is her little grandson, that is also the emperor, and there is a difference between the monarch and the minister. Second, it is also true.

She coughed and told the group to back off. The children had a look of disgruntle, and they had no choice but to retreat in shame. "It's all something that can't be done, which makes the emperor laugh."

"How can it be, we are gradually separated from the blessing of not having a beautiful woman."

How does this sound and how awkward. The rest of the people chewed it, it was also weird, but the position of a colt was a son-in-law who was upside down, and it was not easy to work! The Duchess of the Kingdom no longer insisted on it, and introduced her granddaughter, "Siqin of the big house, Sixian, Siqin is one year older than the emperor, and Sixian is one year younger than the emperor." The second room's thoughts, Snow. ”

Four women stepped forward to salute, all of whom they had seen yesterday.

Among them, Siqin was shy and silent, so that Sixian was not afraid of people, she raised her head and asked crisply: "Cousin Emperor, do you remember me, I am Sixian, and I am seventeen years old this year." ”

"Yes, I remember, we met yesterday."

Si Xian was full of smiles, "I thought you forgot about it, I usually like to read books, draw, play chess, play the piano, what hobbies does the emperor's cousin have?" She didn't speak like the usual girl's twist, because she was a concubine before, and then her mother was lifted to a flat wife, and then Mrs. Shenghou died, and her mother was raised to be the eldest lady.

So in her heart, survival is the first element, and a good life is even better, what can make her live a good life, she has to do it, and her desire for power is stronger than anyone else. Shenghou likes this second daughter very much, because she has a sweet mouth, a lively temperament, and is very smart, so he intends to lift her up and send her to the palace. So he begged his mother many times in private.

The Duchess didn't want to take care of this idle matter, in her opinion, the life of the palace was not as good as the people imagined, her eldest daughter, that is, the current queen mother, can get today's status, and she has not taken much painstaking efforts in the past, although she is honored, in the end it is not much easier than the youngest daughter marrying Xue Dingshan, saving a lot of worry and effort.

It's just that I can't stand my son's repeated begging. looked at the Guogong Mansion in front of him again, and it was not as good as day by day

, It is indeed good to have a good beginning, looking at these children, Siqin has an excellent temperament, but in a place like the palace, it is too difficult, the other children are still young, and it will take a year or two to wait for the emperor to choose a concubine, and Sixian is indeed very suitable, so she lifted her with one eye closed, so there is today's scene.

So she spoke out boldly, but the Duchess didn't stop it, but just secretly observed Xue Yinong's attitude.

Xue Yinong had already glimpsed his meaning, and he was afraid that the more he talked, he said, "No." ”

"Oh." He Sixian was speechless for a moment.

Seeing this, the Duchess immediately added: "Okay, sit down!" He said, "Your Majesty, it's still early before lunch, why don't you ask someone to take you around the garden?" ”

Xue Yinong said: "It's not troublesome. ”

Shenghou also pleaded again and again, "The emperor has not been here a few times since he was a child, so why not let someone take you for a walk." "One by two, I thought there was something deep about it, but Xue Yi's enthusiasm was difficult, so he had to agree.

Shenghou naturally sent He Sixian and asked her to take Xue Yinong for a good walk, intending to give the two of them a chance to create a zào. He Sixian smiled sweetly, invited Xue Yinong, and brought many people to follow. Xue Yinong reluctantly got up, impatient in her heart, she was not interested at all on such a cold day.

All her expressions were seen in the eyes of the Duchess of Guo, and she sighed once.

Seeing them go in a commotion, Shenghou asked in front of his mother, "How sure is this matter from the old lady's point of view?" ”

"I don't look very good. In fact, people like us, why bother to climb higher. Said and sighed a long time, when He Guogong was alive, which one of the courts did not look at three points, even the first emperor was respected, but as soon as he died, except for those sons who died in battle, the rest were two small ones, there was the pain of losing a son before, and the Duchess of Guo did not let the two go to the battlefield if they were killed, so the martial arts were also mediocre, not to mention the strategic military law, in the end, it was not as good as the first few sons.

Now the days are not as good as before, but she doesn't care, an old woman who is about to die doesn't care about this, but what about the children and grandchildren, they have to worry about them, their days are still long.

Looking at the Shenghou in front of her, the Duchess of Guo felt like a mirror in her heart. I have seen a good life, but now I am living a dispensable life, and I feel wronged in my heart, I can't bear it anymore, and those who think about the Fa want to climb high branches and go higher than others.

Shenghou asked, "Old lady, is there nothing you can do?" ”

"The way is always man-made, but it also depends on whether you have this blessing in your life."

"Then why don't the old lady go into the palace to meet the eldest sister of the Queen Mother, didn't the emperor give you a waist card to enter the palace, with your old mouth, they will also consider a few points, when they really can't do anything, it is also our fate, and we will admit it."

The Duchess closed her eyes and only said, "Don't worry, I will do my best, and I will have to run for you." ”

Shenghou and the others were overjoyed, and with their mother coming forward, it would not be a problem to come to the Queen Mother's side.

Let's say that He Sixian led Xue Yinong to see the scenery in the house, this weather, the heavy snow has already covered a qiē, how can there be any wonders to see, but it is a corridor, a garden, and then there is a pool, a rockery. He Sixian did not avoid the cold, walked to a place, and said, "This is the pond in the house, in the summer, those golden goldfish will come out to eat, get together, not to mention how cute, and on the water, there are lotuses, lotus flowers, green, pink." ”

But now, the pool is bare, and at most it is blown by the cold wind, which crumples the water of the pool. Occasionally, there will be small yellow leaves that swish, fall with the wind, and fall into the water, playing the lonely and lonely Xuan'er.

To say how cute it is, it's like staring at your eyes and talking nonsense.

Xue Yinong let out a perfunctory 'oh', Luo Yan was holding his hands in his sleeves, his neck was shrunk, and the people who followed him were also generally behaving, it was really freezing outside, and they couldn't figure out what this cousin was doing, and looking at her eyebrows, they felt even colder.

Luo Yan had a little resentment in her heart, she didn't dare to complain about Xue Yiqiang, but the meaning of this cousin's stammering was too obvious, the girl was more reserved, how could she be a fool of people, and she would lose more money.

He Sixian obviously didn't care what Luo Yan was thinking, she could only try to win Xue Yinong's favor now, looked at the pool, looked at the garden, and now everything that could wither was withered, and the rest were covered with thick snow, clumps of white.

Luo Yan said: "Your Majesty, it's windy outside, should we go back and stay for a while?" ”

He Sixian immediately understood and asked, "Cousin of the emperor, are you cold?" My room is nearby, do you want to go over and sit down......" She looked at Xue Yinong expectantly.

"No need. Let's go back to the living room. ”

"I'm going back, it's still early for lunch."

"It's cold outside."

"Shall I have someone bring the cloak over? It's a rare day like this to enjoy the snow. ”

Xue Yinong stood there, looking at He Sixian with straight eyes, hoping that this girl would understand that she didn't want to criticize her for what she did, but if it was too much, she didn't want to give face. Accompanying her out to wander around has already given enough face to the elders. "I'm cold, I'm back, let's go."

He Sixian stood there, behind him was a group of girls from the Guogong Mansion, they were secretly laughing there, and the second lady was so embarrassed. But unexpectedly, she suddenly turned around, her eyes swept coldly at these people, and asked, "Who was laughing just now?" Stretched out his hand to the two girls who were closest to him, slapped his mouth, five finger prints, clearly imprinted on his face, the two who were beaten, immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, not even daring to protect their faces, and the rest of the people followed and bowed their heads, "I'm not doing well, and you guys don't think it's good." She left the group of people and chased them out, the cruelty on her face was gone, and she changed into an innocent and enthusiastic face.

As soon as He Sixian walked away, the two people who were beaten looked at her back with eyes like nails, "What's the big deal, isn't it just a concubine, I'm afraid that others won't know that she has delusional dreams, and wants to marry the emperor and dream!" Bah. ”

The people behind came over to comfort her and said a few words, and followed.

He Sixian caught up with Xue Yinong and said, "Cousin Emperor, wait, go back, go back, why do you have to go so fast, ah!" With an exclamation, she fell, and called 'cousin' weakly, but Xue Yinong didn't move.

"How, can you still stand up?" he asked. ”

He Sixian tried a few times and said, "It doesn't seem to work." Xue Yinong instructed the palace maid beside her to help her up, "If you can't go, Father-in-law Ren, you will take two steps back." ”

Father-in-law Ren pointed at himself with his finger, his face was full of incredulity, he was the one who was going to enter the coffin, and he was asked to carry it, the emperor was not joking!

I saw Xue Yi nodded solemnly.

Father-in-law Ren had no choice but to bite the bullet, as soon as he walked in front of He Sixian, she heard: "Cousin Emperor, I'm fine, a little injury, I can stand it, if it's not in the way, I won't trouble my father-in-law." He limped two steps as he spoke. Damn, what kind of joke did you let this ugly old eunuch do behind her back. Her plan was miscalculated, but she was not discouraged, she had the spirit of Xiaoqiang who could not be killed.

"It's okay, then father-in-law, you better come back."

Father-in-law Ren continued to follow behind Xue Yinong, and everyone went back to the living room together. Asked about He Sixian's 'foot injury', Xue Yinong said calmly: "The road slipped and fell." I knew that I shouldn't have let my cousin take me around, I was ashamed, and I didn't know if the injury was serious? It's better to ask the doctor to come and take a look. ”

Shenghou said: "Yes, yes." His eyes glanced at He Sixian, and then shouted to the door: "Don't help the young lady to rest, and then invite the doctor to come over." Mrs. Shenghou also went with her. It's almost time here, it's time to eat, and everyone accompanies her for lunch.

He Sixian and Mrs. Shenghou did not attend, they were sitting in He Sixian's room. He Sixian didn't look like his foot was injured at the moment, swaying with Erlang's legs, and Mrs. Shenghou asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Don't mention it, it's hard and soft to eat."

Mrs. Shenghou said: "Don't be afraid, you have to remember that men are cheap bones, he will always have a weakness, find it slowly, now you rest first, your father has told the old lady about the important joints, as long as the old lady says a word, even if the emperor does not give face, he has to squeeze out three points." ”

"Mother, what else do you say, the old lady said that she wanted him to choose a suitable son-in-law for the fifth princess, but she didn't agree."

Mrs. Shenghou smiled, "What's this, shirk is inevitable, just tell the fifth princess about this, if she herself nods and agrees, it doesn't matter if the emperor agrees or not, you are also a smart person, why haven't you even thought about this key clearly, there is that time, or think about teaching your stupid brother, let him go and see the fifth princess." ”

"When it comes to lunch, no one can enter the palace except for the old lady now, who can see the fifth princess casually."

"Silly girl, we can't go in, can't we think of a way to let her out?"

He Sixian's eyes lit up, "Mother, what do you mean......" The two mothers and daughters smiled silently.

Xue Yinong and the others had lunch, sat down to drink tea, and they were still such a big family, but the children had long since dispersed, and it was boring to accompany them, and there were many people, Xue Yinong was also a little dazzled, this is still a sister-in-law and a daughter-in-law, if you add some concubines and concubines, a group of people who are in a hurry, I am afraid that the whole house will not be crowded.

After eating, everyone sat idly. Shenghou didn't dare to be sloppy, and he could find a car of words if he had nothing to do, so he sighed: "The emperor's nephew, the minister is old, and he doesn't look forward to anything, but the children make the minister worried." ”

"Yes, parents always have to worry about their children."

"Yes!" Shenghou sighed and blinked twice, "Siqin's marriage is planned to be decided this year, and Sixian, the minister's biggest headache is this child, the emperor, you said that she is angry, and she has to marry the first person in the world." ”

Xue Yinong was still expressionless, and the wild goose beside her couldn't help laughing. Xue Yinong shouted: "Falling geese, don't make a mistake!" ”

The geese responded lowly. This Shenghou, what kind of family affairs in front of the emperor, and the first person in the world, this is not a clear way to set up the emperor, but unfortunately the emperor is a woman, otherwise maybe consider one or two, after all, there are people like Miss Biao in the palace, and the atmosphere is also very active, isn't it?

Shenghou saw that Xue Yinong didn't answer, so he continued to sigh, "You said that the minister was looking for the first place in the world, and later, the minister asked, guess who she said?" ”

Xue Yinong smiled and said, "I don't know. ”

Shenghou finally couldn't help but say: "It's you, the emperor!" He shrunk his neck again, "The minister has made a mistake, and his daughter's heart is big." ”

"It doesn't matter, I was promised by my cousin by mistake, I'm really ashamed, but I'm not as good as she thought, the first in the world, I have never boasted of myself, and I don't deserve her such high praise, I think she usually doesn't go out of the door, and the second door is not stepping, I don't know that there are many good men in the world, if my uncle is free, he should accompany her to go out and have a look, see the people in the world, and know what is called the first in the world."

Xue Yinong still didn't mean to take this hot potato.

Shenghou was rejected three times and twice, and his face was very ugly. In the other room present, he snickered, thinking why he sent He Sixian into the palace, instead of their daughter, and there was also dissatisfaction in it, and now Shenghou was not pleasing to him, and he was relieved in his heart, but he thought that this family was in the same breath, and it was not good for him to do this, so he pretended to be the same embarrassment on his face.

The daughter's affairs have not been settled, and it is said that Shenghou He Youzhen should shut up and stop, so as not to bring humiliation on himself. But sometimes people are lustful. Looking at the top, it is difficult to think about the cause and effect, he still made persistent efforts, laughed cheekily, and said that he has been old in recent years, and he can't control his sons anymore, so he wants Xue Yinong to give him a reward.

He Youzhen thought that Xue Yinong had already refused once, and he couldn't refuse again. But the more you look forward to something, the more you lose.

Xue Yinong said: "Uncle's heart understands that there are no parents in this world who don't care about their children. At the same time, she added in her heart: "Not everyone is like that. "I'll think about this matter carefully, and I'll give you an answer when I think about it clearly." Xue Yinong played an official tone, and on the surface, it seemed that there was some discussion, but in fact it was a tactful refusal.

Consider, consider when? He Youzhen immediately realized the meaning, "The ministers are just these unsuccessful sons, don't look at the minister's face, look at the old lady's face, look at the queen mother, look at your mother's face." Otherwise, look at the face of the dead country. He brought out these many people at once, wanting Xue Yinong to reconsider.

Xue Yinong immediately changed his words, "I don't know if my cousins and cousins are good at literature or martial arts." She already had a plan in her heart, if her cousins and cousins really had the ability, she couldn't have known it, unless she couldn't do everything, she still wanted to ask for an idle job with Zuyin, even if the world was hers, there was no reason to raise people in vain, but she offended him, and she was afraid that the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother He would not be able to get by. So he changed his tone and asked.

He Youzhen was dumbfounded again, he had heard Xue Yinong's joy of changing his words before, but then he was poured down by a basin of cold water.

Xue Yinong didn't wait for him to answer, so he said to himself: "When the Guogong was alive, the heroes were heroes and made great contributions to the country, and other uncles were also a group of heroic figures, throwing their heads and spilling blood for the country, this family of meritorious deeds, how can I forget it, I think that my cousin and cousin have also been influenced by my uncle, and they are naturally martial arts, so why not let them play two tricks in front of them, or fight with Luo Yan twice, so that I can open my eyes, and ask my uncle not to refuse." ”

He Youzhen's face darkened, "They are still young, where can they play the prestige of the Duke of State, it's just some three-legged cat kung fu, why bother to be ugly in front of the emperor." ”

Xue Yinong suddenly felt relaxed, "Then I have no choice, this article is not good, martial arts are not enough, even if I have the heart to help and give a position, I can't take responsibility, I can't do a good job, and it may even affect their lives, at that time, whether I will deal with it according to law or bend the law for personal gain." If it is dealt with according to the law, it is inevitable that my uncle will complain that I do not understand human feelings, and if I bend the law for personal gain, how can I govern the country according to the law......"

Speaking of this, He Youzhen was speechless and very ashamed.

Everyone said something else to ease the sudden tension. After that, Xue Yinong left and still returned to the palace.

After Xue Yinong came back, he asked Xu Shutong to speak, and the person who went to announce came back and said: "Mrs. Xu is sick and not suitable to meet the emperor." ”

Sick? She's fine in the morning. Xue Yinong is very sure that she is pretending to be sick, where is the patient, it is obvious that she deliberately ignores her with a grudge, and she is making a petty temperament!

She said, "I know, you go!" "I didn't sit on the hot bench, so I went to find Xu Shutong.

At that time, a palace maid came to announce Xue Yinong's will, and she was overjoyed, and said to Xu Shutong very excitedly: "Niangniang, the emperor wants to see you." ”

How do you know that Xu Shutong didn't care anymore, and said: "If she wants me to see it, I'll see it?" She wants to see me, and I don't want to see her! As he spoke, he sat down in front of the dresser, took out the cheek powder, brushed it up with a brush, and announced to Xue Yinong that she was not telling her about it.

This can make the pity so bad that it is not even understood.

In the past two days, Xu Shutong's unhappiness has been really visible. Finally, Xue Yinong was willing to meet people, and sat down with each other to talk, but Xu Shutong put up a shelf and refused to meet.

Cun Xi persuaded again and again: "Niangniang, you finally got the opportunity, if you don't explain it clearly to the emperor, the misunderstanding will get deeper and deeper if you continue like this, and you really have to die of old age and not get along, and it will only be better for a few days, and that's it again." That's not how you did it before. ”
