Xue Yinong entered, and heard all the vassal kings, princesses and others kneeling on the ground and shouting long live, Xue Yinong bypassed everyone, sat on the dragon chair at the top, sat down, and said, "Flat." At this time, Ren's father-in-law was on the right, Luo Yan was on the left, and the two were standing on both sides of Xue Yinong.

After everyone got up, they reported their names one by one, met them, and gave gifts. Xue Yinong also replied to the rewards one by one, no problem.

It is only said that there is a woman among them, when she meets Xue Yinong, she is not as shy and timid as the rest of the people, but she is generous, her eyes peek at Xue Yinong from time to time, she has her hands blessed, placed on her waist, and heard her say this: "He Sixian, the granddaughter of the Guogong Mansion and the second daughter of the Marquis of Sheng, has seen the emperor." As she spoke, she squatted down, but her eyes were still rolling restlessly.

Xue Yinong smiled, this Guogong Mansion is her grandfather's house, this is her second cousin, "Second cousin is exempt." "In her memory, she has a slight impression of this one, but it is not profound, this dynasty is not very harsh on men and women 'invisible', but the official eunuchs always have more rules in this regard than the common people.

He Sixian grinned toothily and asked, "Your Majesty, do you remember me?" ”

Xue Yinong said a few perfunctory words, and saw He Sixian's very happy appearance. The cheeks were slightly glowing, and the two ink-like eyes looked at Xue Yinong tenderly, Xue Yinong was slightly embarrassed, and he was busy rewarding things, and sent the two cousins away, and saw that she received something to thank her, and she didn't forget to look back and smile.

Which one sitting here is not noble, he has already despised He Sixian a hundred times in his heart, and at the same time, the family of the Guogong Mansion is not good-looking, except for Shenghou.

The second daughter's thoughts had been told to him before, and he agreed with them very much. Now that the nephew is sitting in the emperor, the three palaces and six courtyards, can't he accept a cousin?

Shenghou pretended not to know, regardless of what others were thinking.

When the time comes, his family Sixian will be a concubine, no matter who sees him, they will not meet on their stomachs, and at that time, I am afraid that no one will be able to laugh. Who's laughing at whom! Shenghou glanced at the people in the field, whoever laughed at him could keep it in his heart, and the accounts in the future would be counted together!

He sat down next to Shenghou.

Others came up to meet them and said something to each other. When they have seen it, they will disperse. Xue Yinong still took a sedan chair, but did not immediately return to the Splendid Palace, but went to Kunyuan Palace.

Everyone in Kunyuan Palace was overjoyed when they saw the emperor coming twice a day, they couldn't believe it, and they all thought that they were dazzled and misunderstood. went in to report to Mama Mei, Mama Mei also didn't believe it, but was laughed by the palace maid below: "Mama is happy and stupid, don't go in to sue Queen Sù." ”

"When is it really here?" The young lady of her family finally came to work, she walked in quickly, the speed was more than twice as fast as before, and said happily: "Queen, the emperor is here." As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Yinong had already come in.

Yu Shiyou wanted to get up and salute, but was stopped by Xue Yinong.

"No, you're not in good shape, sitting or lying down, I can't stop by and take a look at you."

Xue Yanli has been sitting on the edge of the bed, and he also got up to greet him at this time, "Gradually, I have seen the imperial brother." ”

"Well, did the queen drink porridge? Did you decoction the medicine? "That's what I asked.

Mama Mei hurriedly replied: "I ate it, and the medicine is frying." ”

"That's good."

Xue Yanli kept raising his eyes to look at Xue Yinong, as if he had something to say. After Xue Yinong asked people to retreat, she stepped forward and said, "Thanks to the imperial brother today, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do." Xue gradually left a bit of gratitude, "Brother Huang doesn't care about my previous affairs, and he still helps the queen like this, I don't know what to say." ”

"It's okay, I don't blame you, it's your freedom to say anything. It's just that don't say it in front of so many people in the future, I'll be embarrassed. I only have one mouth, and I can't respond to so many people. Besides, it is my responsibility to take care of the queen, and I don't need you to thank you for this. On the contrary, it is me, thank you for being so, in the queen's illness, it is really rare for you to serve so hard. She intended to praise Xue gradually and let Yu Shiyou know her benefits.

Xue gradually left ashamed, "It's my Xiaofeng who froze." When the royal brother said this, I was about to die of shame. ”

"Then I won't say it, but in the next few days, I want you to take care of it, with you, I am more at ease." After talking for a while, he entrusted Yu Shiyou to Xue Wanli, and Xue Yinong went back.

When Xu Shutong saw her coming back, she had something to say to her, but she just stopped in front of her, "Your Majesty ......"

"It's Shutong, I'm still busy, can I talk about it when I have time?" She didn't want to listen to her sophistry anymore, but now she just kept quiet, away from these troubles, and went to the desk to watch the twists and turns, and ignored no one, and the lunch was still served to her by the wild goose.

A bowl of ravioli.

After Xu Shutong was rejected, he came out in a daze, and he was bumping into pity. It is a pity to see her full of sadness, and know that she has hit a wall here in Xue Yinong. She pulled Xu Shutong to the small kitchen, and the two closed the door and talked.

"Niangniang hasn't made it clear to the emperor yet?"

"It's not that she doesn't say it, it's that she doesn't want to listen to me at all, and she doesn't give me a chance to say it."

Cun sighed and said: "You guys, you, this contradiction is only peaceful, and there is a contradiction, this is to eat the contradiction as a meal, but the days?" I have to go out with slaves and maids, and then I will make peace with you. ”

"Why bother with you, let you cāo heart for me again, I really don't want to go."

"It's better than the way you are now, frowning and dying. Niangniang looked away a little, you are acting, it's not true, acting is so real, the slaves and maids have to misunderstand, okay? Look at you, you're all emaciated and thin. "It's not an exaggeration to say it, and Xu Shutong barely smiled." Okay, rest assured, your business is the slave's business, this matter the slave will definitely make it clear to the emperor for you, he is also anxious, maybe jealous, you treat the king like this, who is comfortable in your heart, and he is in love, wait a minute, let him think clearly, let's also seize the opportunity to play the side drum, give him an idea, and immediately the rain will be clear, and the love will be as good as ever. ”

It was not easy for Cun Xi to say, but Xu Shutong was not so optimistic, so she had to urge her to take a nap and recuperate, "You, wait a minute!" If you raise your spirit enough, you can not find the emperor in the southeast and northwest, and when the emperor can't hold it, he will struggle for three hundred rounds, and maybe he will hold the two in three years. ”

She just thought about that scene, it was very beautiful, especially when Luo Yan was a little princess in her left hand and a little prince in her right hand, when she couldn't spare her hand to change diapers, when she cried and begged her for help, she had to tease her and dismantle the table for her.

When I think about beautiful things, the expression on my face is extraordinarily sweet.

Xu Shutong saw it, so he could only shake his head and sigh. Cun Xi always thinks about the situation so optimistically, and she and Xue Yinong will never be able to hold the two of them for three years. Xu Shutong decided to take a nap to recuperate, and wait for the opportunity to discuss it.

At night, I slept with Xue Yinong. Xue Yinong turned over again, Xu Shutong plucked up his courage and still leaned over, but was prevaricated by Xue Yinong with an excuse, "I'm tired." Xu Shutong withdrew his hand, and it was the same last time. It's just that Xue Yinong didn't even have a chance to explain to her this time, it won't work if she goes on like this, but is it useful to just say two words by herself, Xue Yinong has a guard in her heart, and with the answer she thinks she has, no matter how much she says, what is the use of not listening.

Sigh for a while, and then go to sleep.

The next day, Xue Yinong dined as usual, and today she was going out of the palace to the Guogong Mansion.

The two places of the Yangxi Palace and the Hall of Heroes sent people respectively to say that they had something to do for the time being and couldn't go, so let Xue Yinong take care of it alone, and go to see his grandmother, uncle, aunt, and cousins.

After breakfast, Xue Yinong wanted to go out. Originally, it was supposed to be affectionate, but now there is no emotion, she stood there and didn't look at Xu Shutong, "Who do you want to meet, just don't bring it to our room again." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Xu Shutong to answer, he left. Obviously, he still minds Xu Shutong inviting Xue Qingqiu in.

Xue Yinong said decisively, but when she went out, she had a bitter face, the only thing she can do now is to 'fulfill', she doesn't want to be an obstacle for these two people anymore, since Xu Shutong is interested in Xue Qingqiu, why bother looking for her. Xue Yinong only felt that all the qiē was a farce, she didn't want to cry and cry, dragging mud and water is not good for everyone, it is better for her to quit, whether it is chic or not.

Before leaving, she took another detour to Kunyuan Palace.

Seeing that Yu Shiyou's condition was not bad, he told her to take care of her body more. Yu Shiyou said: "Today, the concubine should have returned to the public mansion with the emperor, but she couldn't, the emperor went alone, it doesn't matter, right?" ”

"It's okay, I'm here to tell you about this, so that you can have a good rest, grandmother, uncle, they are, I will explain to them, when you are well, it's not too late to see them again, don't worry."

Yu Shiyou thanked him again and again, but found that Xue Yinong's face was not very good, "What's wrong?" The emperor seems to have something unspeakable. Are you still worried about giving food and other things? ”

Xue Yinong shook his head, "That thing can't be done in a day or two." ”

Yu Shiyou cautiously asked, "Is it related to Mrs. Xu?" Seeing Xue Yinong's acquiescence, she thought about it a few times, and combined with Mama Mei's gossip, she had already understood, and said in her heart: "The emperor really cares about her, Xu Shutong, Xu Shutong, you are really lucky!" If that's the case, why not make it clear. Yu Shiyou was grateful to Xue Yinong for taking care of her, and was about to repay the favor at the moment and break some obstacles between the two of them with her. She glanced at Xue Yanli and Mama Mei, and asked them to go out first, and it would be better for fewer people to know about the emperor's private affairs.

Mei and Xue left, only walking a few dozen steps, but they hid behind the heavily hooked curtains, wanting to hear what they had to say.

When Yu Shiyou saw it, he smiled helplessly, and said to Xue Yinong: "Is it to respect the king?" She then added: "The emperor is mighty, and people in the palace are everywhere. "So, it's not that she buried some eyeliner next to the emperor, everyone in the palace knows about it, and she just heard about it.

"You get it, huh. It's not a big deal, it's just a reminder of something. Okay, let's not talk about her, let's talk about your opinion. ”

Yu Shiyou speculated about Xue Yinong's inner thoughts, and said, "Is the emperor suspicious of what Mrs. Xu and King Jing have?" ”

"It's hard not to think about it."

"Yes! A person knows the palace rules, but he still has to commit them, in the emperor's opinion, if he doesn't have some unknown feelings with this person, why bother. But according to the concubine and a woman, this may not be the case. Mrs. Xu is afraid that she thinks that the emperor can believe her to do this, and this matter is not good for her, why should she do this, there is no such fool in the world, so the concubine thinks that there must be a hidden secret, why not give her a chance to explain, the two of them ask the words clearly, it is better than a person who wants to sulk. ”

Sulking? "I didn't!" She denied.

Yu Shiyou smiled, covered his nose with his hand, and asked, "Isn't the emperor there?" ”

"Not as much as you think, a little. I understand what you mean, it's me who is jealous, and I can't get past that level in my heart, as long as I think that Shutong is not far away from that person, I feel like I've been abandoned, and I feel a lot of discouragement, listening to you say this, it seems that I have something wrong. ”

"It's good that the emperor understands, in fact, there are some words, not because the concubine is right, but because the emperor wants to give himself a reason to reconcile with Mrs. Xu, to believe Mrs. Xu, right? The concubine just said it. ”

"Well, I see. It's just that there is one thing I don't understand, and I would like you to answer me. As my nominal wife, shouldn't you be an enemy of Xu Shutong? Why speak for her. ”

Yu Shiyou smiled, because she was not one of those jealous women who cared about the emperor at all, and she would not fight for a position that did not belong to her.

Xue Yinong understood what she said to her before, but the traditional education made her a woman with three obedience and four virtues, so she could only obey her husband.

Her husband asked her to find another love, and although she was surprised and delighted, and praised him for his understanding and tolerance, she did not have the courage to let her do it.

After all, they don't have to be strangers, and they don't have to be hateful enemies!

Xue Yinong regards her as a friend, so she will be a confidant and good friend, why not.

Yu Shiyou said with a smile: "Because the concubine is the queen, the queen naturally has to accommodate the three palaces and six courts, why can't she tolerate a Xu Shutong, the emperor can rest assured, the concubine will not use the power of the harem to embarrass her, and she has also punished her for the private actions of the grandmother last time, and I hope that the emperor will forgive her for the sake of the concubine's sincerity." ”

Xue Yinong didn't say forgiveness, "You can just take care of the affairs of the harem." The two spoke briefly, and the atmosphere was rare and harmonious, bringing a little warmth to this political marriage that was not happy with each other.

Yu Shiyou knew that she shouldn't, it was for Xu Shutong's sake, and it was just that, and she had to maintain it in many ways in the future. It's not too early, she didn't leave Xue Yinong in vain, "Isn't the emperor going to the Guogong Mansion, isn't this going?" ”

"Hmm!" She also got up and pulled her clothes, "Let's go, the queen will recuperate well and strive for an early recovery." ”

After she left, Xue and Mei stretched out their necks to watch, waited for her to leave, and then went to the bed. Yu Shiyou glanced at the two of them, "Have you heard enough?" ”

Mama Mei said: "The queen is so stupid, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, why do you want to intercede with the one in the Splendid Palace, so that she and the emperor have a misunderstanding, isn't it more beneficial to the queen." Xue Wanli was also beside her, and Mama Mei didn't scruple about it, because she knew that Xue Wanli was also on Yu Shiyou's side.

"Mama is wrong, this palace is not stupid, you should praise this palace for being smart. If at this time, if you don't give the emperor a good impression, or appear in front of his eyes with all kinds of viciousness and jealousy, gloating, falling into the well, and when the emperor comes to his senses, he will definitely hate the palace, in this case, why not be a good person, let the emperor's impression of the palace be better, be a good person, or be a bad person, if Mama Mei were the emperor, what kind of woman would you like? ”

Mama Mei finally smiled, "The queen is smart." ”

"It's nothing, you can learn it in the future, don't be reckless and bad."

Mama Mei said: "The queen can rest assured. Knowing that her young lady knows how to plan for herself, and it is not in vain that she has to be busy decocting medicine, Xue Yanli has been standing and watching her leave, before sitting down.

"Xiaofeng, why did you lie to Mama Mei just now?"

Yu Shiyou smiled and said, "Do I have it?" Fade away. She was not in good health, and when she said it, she was weak, which added a layer of charm, which made Xue Yanli's heart start pounding again, and finally stopped. Yu Shiyou glanced in the direction where Mama Mei left, and said quietly: "I'm for her good, if she always thinks about this and that, I'm afraid it will bring a lot of trouble, and when the time comes, I may not even be able to keep her, I care about her loyalty, but I don't want her to lose her life, I just want her to spend her old age in peace." ”

"Yes, do you think things are always long-term, but you are wronged?"

"Not aggrieved. I have got a lot more than others, although the emperor doesn't love me, but he doesn't treat me lightly, I can see it. I don't want to say what kind of emperor he is, but he is a good man, he wants to protect everyone, I am not blind, I can see it, but ......"

Just what, she didn't say.

Xue gradually reminded her and said, "Okay, don't think so much, concentrate on recuperation, as long as you are good, don't think about the rest, be careful to think about your brain, what if no one talks to me in the future." ”

"You little ghost." Yu Shiyou reached out and touched Xue Wanli's head, and saw that her two hands were twisting the corners of her clothes extremely uncomfortably, but her face turned red.

He muttered, "People are not children. But she was very pampered in her heart, and even she didn't understand how this could happen, she just hoped that Yu Shiyou's eyes would be on herself.

Let's say that Xue Yinong left and went to the Guogong Mansion. Along the way, his expression was relaxed and happy, because he let go of a burden in his heart, the whole person was happy to hum a song, and he couldn't wait to go immediately, go back immediately, and make it clear with Xu Shutong after he went back.

Occasionally pouting and complaining about yourself, how good it is to make things clear early. I couldn't speak all the time, and I felt uncomfortable.

Luo Yan was also in the same carriage, and when she saw her expression change, her heart was slightly calm. Yesterday, I just called a 'dignified', after seeing the queen, it was much better, I don't know what the queen said, the emperor was so happy.

Of course, the emperor is good, and she stretches her brows.

Therefore, the wild goose was also full of joy, and even lifted a little curtain, looking at the snow scene outside, the white expanse, there were many pedestrians on the road, maybe it was because of the second day of the Lunar New Year, and after watching it for a while, it was closed again, afraid that the cold air outside would come in, and Xue Yi would be cold.

Xue Yinong just tilted his head, and the corners of his mouth showed sweetness.

After a while, the Guogong Mansion arrived, and the car stopped. Father-in-law Ren got down from the small sedan chair in front of him early and came to greet him, Xue Yinong and Luo Yan got off the sedan chair, and swept their eyes, everyone in the Guogong Mansion was already standing at the door, and when they saw her coming, even the eighty-year-old Mrs. Guogong knelt down with one hand.

Xue Yinong greeted him and supported him with both hands, "Why should grandmother be polite." ”

The Duchess has long been as white as silver, and she is simply dressed up according to her rank, wearing the service of the command, a mahogany dragon head crutch in one hand, decorated with bright yellow tassels, and there are also inscriptions on the wood, but it is given by someone on the end of a certain month and a certain year in the Common Era, and the emperor sealed, which was given by the emperor.

When the Duchess saw her, she was already smiling, "The emperor is so old, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I miss you!" ”

"Well, didn't I come to see my grandmother, please come inside." Saying that, let everyone get up, the rest of the Guogong Mansion made a way, and there was Shenghou in front of him to lead the way, and first went to the living room of the mansion to sit, let the two talk, but the rest of the people sat together. Although it is a living room, people have already warmed the house with charcoal, and it is not cold at all when you go in. Xue Yinong and Duchess Guo sat side by side, and the two talked some common words. "The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother's aunt have sent someone over to tell my grandmother, they can't come to see you in time at this time, and when they have free time in a few days, they will make an appointment to come together."

The Duchess of Guo knew the clue and asked, "Are they all okay?" ”

"All good! I just miss you very much, I mean, to the hope that you can get along for a long time, comfort each other, save nothing to sit blindly, isn't it boring. In the end, it's not interesting to recite Buddhist scriptures every day. ”

The Duchess smiled and said: "That's true, but there is a difference between the monarch and the minister." "It's inevitable that the words are sad, and there is no way.

"What's the matter, my grandmother misses them, they can go to the palace at any time, they miss you, and they can come to see you at any time. Falling geese, take the palace waist card. Luo Yan took it and handed it to Xue Yinong, and she passed it to the Duchess of the Kingdom, "Don't leave any regrets." "The Duchess of the Kingdom is going to rise up and thank you. Xue Yinong stopped, "I can't do it." ”

"Thank you to the emperor for your success, the blessings of the rest of your old body are all given by the emperor." She sat on the chair and bowed, and asked Xue Yinong's other sisters if they were okay, "The old body remembers well, and it shouldn't be too small to leave." ”

"Yes."

"Did you say someone else?"

"Not yet."

"Not yet, hold on." The Duchess of Guo asked so, and Xue Yinong also responded seriously.
