When Yu Shiyou came back, he saw that Xue Yinong had already come, sat and flipped through the book, and the little thing he knew in his heart jumped directly into his mind. His eyes looked at Xue Yinong a few more times, and suddenly felt that her eyebrows were picturesque, delicate and lovely, and her skin was as white as snow, how could such a person be a rough man?

Xue Yinong felt that someone was looking at her, raised her head, saw that it was Yu Shiyou, and smiled at her, "You are back, I heard that you went to bathe." ”

Yu Shiyou came over and was blessed. "The concubine has seen the emperor."

"Don't be polite, have you had breakfast? After eating, come and sit, I have something to tell you. ”

Yu Shiyou listened, Xue Yinong said that in the near future, the vassal kings from all over the country will come back for the New Year, and the family members of the vassal kings want Yu Shi's friendly reception, as well as all the things in the palace, Xu Shutong just gave birth to a child and can't cooperate, Xiao Fang has to take care of Xiao Gongju, Li Tong has never done anything, "If you can, you can ask Li Meiren to help." ”

"Yes."

"I'm going to have to work hard for you next."

"The concubines are divided into internal affairs and dare not speak bitterly. There is something to ask the emperor. ”

Xue Yi raised his eyebrows, "You say." ”

"Fade away...... Drifting away from the princess, is she okay? I always felt that she was a little abnormal when she came back this time, and the concubines couldn't see her often, and they didn't know what happened to her. ”

She wanted to ask Xue Yinong.

Xue Yinong said: "I thought you knew, it turned out that she was even in the dark with you, and I didn't know what she was crazy about, you are friends, ask her if you have time." However, the matter of marriage, this time she was willing to do so, and I heard that the son of General Li's family was determined. ”

"Li Lin?"

"You recognize that, too?"

"Hmm. Su Ri and Li Meiren are old friends, they have met once or twice when they go to her house, and Li Gongzi is on duty in the palace, and he is said to be a rare young talent. ”

Xue Yinong nodded, "I know, but I don't think that Li Lin is a good person who is gradually leaving, he is cheerful and sparse, and there should be a careful and considerate person to take care of him, Li Lin is not bad, but they are too similar, it is okay to be friends, and being a husband and wife is not a good choice." ”

"Then the emperor should refuse this family affair and choose another lover for the princess who is gradually leaving."

Xue Yinong sneered, "You think I'm omnipotent?" Even if I agree to this, what if I don't agree? I see what she's running away from now, do you know what? Yu Shiyou shook his head, "I don't know, if she comes to the palace, she must ask for me when she is free." ”

Yu Shiyou agreed, changed the topic and cared about Xu Shutong's situation. "Is Concubine Xu okay? The concubine did not go to the Splendid Palace during this time, for fear of disturbing her rest, and the emperor greeted her on behalf of the concubine. ”

"She's fine. buried her daughter in the palace all day long, she looks ugly, and she looks like me. If you have nothing to do, you will eat delicious food, saying that if you eat well and have enough milk, your daughter will be healthy. I can see that she just wants to find a chance to eat herself fat, and then eat me poor, so that people will not want me anymore, but she has a bad idea! ”

Yu Shiyou covered his mouth and snickered.

"The emperor is rich all over the world, how can he be poor?"

"That's right, you can't eat poorly, don't keep your figure too much, too thin, you will fall down when the wind blows, I remember that you were very sick last year, and you usually ate too poorly, too provincial, and you need to exercise more."

Yu Shiyou's head responded.

After speaking, Xue Yinong got up and said goodbye. brought Yu Shiyou's words to Xu Shutong, and Xu Shutong thanked him a thousand times, "Thank you for the queen's love, the emperor is really getting more and more likeable." ”

"Huh?"

Xu Shutong smiled: "If it weren't for you, who would care about me?" I'm stained with your light. ”

Xue Yinong smiled silently, and said after a long time: "It's really a lot of heart, isn't there one or two who are willing to be good with you?" She also asked about the gradual departure, it seems that she doesn't know about the gradual departure, but I still feel that the gradual separation has nothing to do with her, the two of them, the queen I don't know, but last year's gradual departure of all kinds of things, I see in my eyes, my stupid sister should not have walked into the alley of life and death! If this is the case, wouldn't it hurt three people to set up a marriage? ”

Xu Shutong laughed at her for being worried, because many things are beyond the power of man. "The emperor defends his sister and moves me, I don't care much about Shuying. I can't do anything about her, people have their own opinions. That's right, it's wrong, only the person concerned knows what it's like. If you haven't met someone who has missed someone, how can you know what is right, just say I, if it weren't for the person in the past, who made me see through the coldness of human nature, I and the emperor are afraid that it will never be possible. ”

"Okay, I don't say this anymore, every time you say it, you have to make a big point, so that I have nothing to say, and I raise my hand in advance to surrender. If those two are interested, even if they are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, they can come naturally, if they miss it, it is probably not enough fate. ”

Speaking of the New Year, he also said that the invitations to the vassal kings had been sent out, so I don't know if they would come, and the full moon of the two fools was also in the middle of the year, and there were many good things, and Xue Yi was very happy.

A few days later, the fast horse sent the message to various places.

Xue Qingqiu took the invitation and was looking at it, hesitating about whether to go to the capital. summoned his henchmen to discuss the matter, and some said that they wanted to go, not for fear that the emperor would be suspicious. There are also those who say no, and they are afraid of revealing their stuffing.

"At that time, the emperor didn't know if the prince was in that group of people at the time, and even if he knew, he was not caught on the spot, but he was just suspicious. And the prince is going, the injury is exposed, and the emperor has repeatedly asked him, I am afraid that it will be difficult to hide it, so it is better to catch you in this way, so it is better not to go. ”

Xue Qingqiu saw that Staff Xu was beside him, thinking all the time, and refused to make a decision, so he asked him, "Staff member, what do you think about this?" ”

Staff Xu came out and said: "According to the will of his subordinates, the prince must go." ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it. ”

Staff Xu analyzed: "If you don't go, the little doubt in the emperor's heart has become an affirmation, the prince doesn't go, his heart is just empty, this is the normal idea of human feelings." However, the subordinates privately thought that the emperor was very clear about your affairs, and if you didn't go, you would be famous. One sin of contempt is enough to choke, so you have to go. As for the fact that there has been no attack yet, I am afraid that you are afraid of the prince, after all, you have a lot of troops in your hands. It's just that there is a danger of going, and the subordinates are worried that you will not be able to come back, and the emperor will not attack, maybe you will be caught in the net. Therefore, the stand-in goes. If there is nothing to do, even if there is something, the prince can save his life, and then the emperor will think that you are dead, and you are in the dark, you can wait to move. ”

Xue Qingqiu agreed, he still recuperated in the mansion and asked the stand-in to go to the capital.

Kangding Palace.

Xue Qingzhu also received the invitation letter, he kept it in his hand, and said to the people below: "This time, this king must enter Beijing, who is willing to go with this king?" ”

The people in the audience were very enthusiastic and willing to go with them.

Xue Qingzhu was pleased, "This king has wanted to get rid of Xu Shutong for a long time, but the people in the palace have not been able to do it, and the emperor's love for her is not ordinary, and the guards around her are like iron buckets." Now I hear that she has given birth to a daughter, and we are okay for the time being. However, this person also has her obstacles, and when the time is right in the future, it is natural to get rid of her. In this way, breaking off one of the king's arms is tantamount to giving us a few chances of winning. His subordinates shouted 'Wise', "Despite this, this king still doesn't want to have a long night and dreams, so he has to find a way to make the emperor the crown prince!" Xue Qingzhu leaned sideways, and let out a long sigh from his mouth, this matter could not be achieved for a day, and he could not take it lightly for a day.

The undercover agents who were ambushed in the palaces of the feudal lords collected all the information to the capital in a timely manner. Xue Yinong also knew Xue Qingqiu's decision, she smiled lightly, she didn't expect it badly. Last time, Xue Qingqiu secretly entered Beijing, and was half-injured by her, and said that King Gong did not travel at all, and sang double reeds with her, but it was a pity that this kind of strategy had to deceive others.

The matter of stand-ins is not difficult to investigate. It's just that I didn't expect Xue Qingqiu to guard against her to such a point, thinking that she could replace the real one with a fake?

Xue Yi smiled thickly, no matter what kind of gifts others give, her character is like this - all smiles, just see the move.

Xue Qingzhu just settled down a little, and she didn't plot against Xu Shutong for the time being, when it came to the idea of the prince, she was still young and not dead, and she was in a hurry like this, these people were too impetuous, and it was difficult to achieve a big deal. She will accompany them to have a good time, and she is not responsible for returning the goods if they are disabled.

When the news arrived, people from all walks of life packed up and came to the capital.

Let's say that in the Zhiqiu Garden, Xiao Fang received a letter from King Kangding, saying that he was going to visit the palace in the near future, and he was willing to follow the story of King Jing's petition and meet her.

After Xiao Fang received the letter, she couldn't sit still. Xue Qingzhu is coming, I don't know why her mood is so complicated, looking forward to it, and being afraid. It's like doing something unseemly.

In the face of Xue Qingzhu, she has love and hate. Reminiscing about the days with him is sweet and sad. However, none of this can negate that this man abandoned himself for greater glory and wealth, and let her come to a strange environment alone, facing strange things, trembling and worrying every day.

This time she wants to reunite with her old friend, and she is happy and worried. I am happy because I see the old people and think of the past, whether the past is bitter or sweet, it is always sweet when I remember it. The worry is that she doesn't know what attitude to take to face him, and the public act is not the prince, every qiē is the emperor's strategy, when she sees him, can she say this qiē?

Can she spoil Xue Yinong's good deeds?

An old love, a person with a good feeling, she doesn't want to hurt both. In the past, she had a love with Xue Qingzhu, and Xue Yinong took care of her recently, and she only had contradictions.

Xiao Fang sat in a daze, but Xue Yinong came in, she was very flustered when she saw it at first glance, she just wanted to find the letter and hide it.

Her panic was all seen by Xue Yinong, and she smiled: "What are you hiding?" Who wrote a love letter to you? Someone secretly likes you and doesn't let me know, I'm going to be jealous. ”

She obviously came here with a little step, and she heard that Xue Qingzhu had sent a letter to Xiao Fang, and she came over with a little pinch, just to see Xiao Fang's attitude. Now it seems that what she has done is not enough, and the woman still has something to hide from herself.

Xiao Fang couldn't hide, so he had to explain: "It's King Kangding, he sent a letter, saying that when he came to the capital, he asked the concubines to meet in Zhiqiu Yuan, and he would ask the emperor for this matter." ”

"He's nostalgic for the old thing. Since he wrote it to you, then I don't ask to read it, you can take it! After all, you used to love each other very much, didn't you, but fate made people, if you are willing to go back with him this time, I agreed, but if you want to stay, I will never allow you to do anything other than talk to him, do you understand? I look very generous, but in fact, I am a cautious eye, a vinegar jar, and if I provoke me, I will let him go to the eighteenth layer of hell. ”

She originally intended to tell Xiao Fang not to be fooled by emotions and get dizzy, but Xiao Fang misunderstood that Xue Yinong cared about her. The loneliness in her heart these days was suddenly filled with sweetness, her face flushed slightly, and she looked at Xue Yinong shyly.

Xue Yinong was very embarrassed and hurriedly changed the topic. explained: "It's been a busy day, so I didn't come to see Gongju and you, so I took the time to come over today and leave if I want to see you." He turned his head, looked around, and saw that Xiao Gongju was not there, and asked, "You were taken out by the nurse to play again?" ”

The nurse was carrying Xiao Gongju into the door, and when she saw Xue Yinong there, she came over to ask for peace. Xiao Gongju, who had always been quiet, struggled in her arms, revealing his pink gums, asking Xue Yinong to hug him.

Xue Yinong hugged her, let her sit on her lap, and asked, "Do you miss your father?" My father has been very busy lately and can't see you, can you please forgive me? He said to Xiao Fang, "I can't run here often, if I have time, go to the Splendid Palace with the public lift, don't let her be lonely, Shutong also hopes that you will be a companion with her in the past, she has just become a mother, she is not used to it, and it is good to have someone to tell her about the mother's scriptures." ”

Xue Yinong teased Xiao Gongju for a while, then handed her over to the nurse and left first. Xiao Fang stood at the door and kept sending her off, her heart was shaken, she went back to the house to take Xiao Gongju from the wet nurse, teased her, laughed with her, and asked her, "Do you like your father?" My father likes public affairs very much, he really likes you, and he came to see you, and I ...... I like you, and him, if he were your father, you would be very happy, he didn't forget about you because of the second princess, I thought he didn't care, he was just too busy, it's not an excuse, this time it's true, I didn't lie to you. ”

Xiao Gongju didn't understand anything, when people talked to her, she giggled and laughed, and the young man didn't know what it was like to be sad. Xiao Fang didn't care and continued to talk to her.

Lin Honglian heard these words outside the door, her eyes gradually dimmed, and she left silently.

A few days later, news came from outside the palace that Xue was leaving to get engaged. She was idle in the mansion and had nothing to do, and was sent to the palace by the Empress Dowager He, so that she could learn how to be a boudoir girl with the imperial sisters-in-law in the palace.

The palace maid came in and reported that the princess had arrived. Xu Shutong said: "Please let her in." ”

After Xue gradually left, he greeted him and asked, "Is the imperial brother not here?" ”

"No, she has a lot to do, she has no time to come here, if you look for her, you will have to wait for a long time. Sit down. ”

"No, I'll go." Seeing two children lying in the cradle, he wondered, "Who is one?" Who is the other one? ”

"Gongju and two fools."

Xue gradually frowned, because she remembered that Xiao Gongju was not Xue Yinong's parent. The two children are put together, doesn't Xu Shutong mind? "Why is she here?"

"The emperor was afraid that he would be alone, so he asked the nurse to come over and play for a while every day. Fortunately, the public demeanor is mild, and the two children don't make trouble together, but they are two stupid, they move their hands and feet every day, they don't have any rules, they kick around, they don't have anything to hum, I'm annoying, and they don't have a ladylike demeanor at all. ”

Xu Shutong still disliked his beloved daughter very much, and Xue gradually smiled reluctantly: "She is still young and doesn't understand anything." Kid, it's always like this. When it comes to you, the imperial sister-in-law, you can accommodate other people's children, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. ”

Xue Wanli poked the second fool's face with his finger, and the little guy waved his little hand in protest, expressing his dissatisfaction with Xue Wanli.

A small iron hook hung down from above, Xue gradually raised his head in the direction of the rope, and saw Xu Shuying sitting on the beam, looking at her, cold, with a blank look in her eyes, even through the veil, she could guess that the corners of her mouth were hooked with a touch of ridicule at the moment.

Xu Shuying's technique was ingenious, the hook hooked the strap on the second fool's body, directly pulled her up, and hugged her on her lap to play. Maybe it's because she likes to treat the second fool in this way, the second fool has become accustomed to it, and even the good clothes and belts on her body are specially designed for Xu Shuying's hobby.

In her eyes, the second fool is just a small burden, pulled back and forth.

Glancing at Xue Wanli, she said, "You're here." ”

"Yes, I'm here."

"You seem to be more reticent than you used to be, not much like you used to be."

Xue gradually left and replied: "When people grow up, they are not as crazy as they used to be. ”

"There's nothing wrong with being crazy, it's more lovely than lifeless, and I miss the past. Although you look more like a woman now than in the past, you don't look like Xue Wanli anymore. ”

"That's good, isn't it? My father and mother wanted me to be like this, like a girl. ”

"Is there a shortage of girls in this world?"

There is no shortage. Xue was speechless, afraid that Xu Shuying would say something that would sting her even more. Xu Shuying remained silent, holding her little niece in her hand and tossing it around like a toy.

Xu Shutong was accustomed to such a scene, she broke her silence and said: "A few days ago, the emperor said to me that the queen is very worried about you and hopes that you will come over to see her when you are free. ”

After Xue gradually left the listen, his expression was stunned, as if he didn't expect Yu Shiyou to say such a thing. She excused herself: "She's been very busy lately, and she has to handle the affairs of the harem, so it's inconvenient for me to go." ”

She spoke, slurring, hesitating, and struggling inwardly. I wanted to see it, but my reason told me not to go, for fear that after seeing it, the decision I had just made would be shaken again.

"What's inconvenient, even if you look at her and say a few words, it won't delay anything, or are you afraid?"

Xue gradually said stubbornly: "Who said I was afraid? ”

"You're not afraid, why don't you dare to see her."

"See you."

Xu Shutong showed a smile, watched Xue gradually leave and walked away, and then withdrew his gaze. Xu Shuying sat on the beam and said, "My sister has a treacherous smile, is she planning something?" You're not at ease with the gradual departure. ”

Xu Shutong said angrily: "What sister in the world would say that her sister is like you, as if I am the reincarnation of the demon king of the mixed world, and I have a belly of tricks." ”

"Isn't it?"

Xu Shutong was very firm in his position, "I'm not, I'm a pure and kind little fairy." ”

Xu Shuying threw a few white eyes to her, she saw that her brother-in-law must have been deceived by her sister, this woman.

Xue gradually left to see Yu Shiyou, walked to the gate of the palace, looked at the three words 'Kunyuan Palace' hanging high, and suddenly stopped and stopped advancing. The heart is empty.

To go in, or not to go in?
