"Oh?" The Queen Mother looked at her with interest, "So, do you know the intentions of the mourning family?" ”

"Don't dare, the heart of the Queen Mother's aunt, how can I know it as a little girl, it's just that the imperial brother died unjustly, and Sixian has always been worthless for the Queen Mother."

However, if it is not related to Xu Shutong, who else can there be. The Queen Mother smiled: "You are really an understanding child, much stronger than the queen." ”

He Sixian was busy thanking the Queen Mother for her compliment, "Aunt Queen Mother doesn't think it's good that I'm too talkative." ”

The Queen Mother shook her head and said: "No, your words are very in line with the meaning of the mourning family, it seems that it is not unreasonable for the mother to speak for you, your matter, the mourning family will consider it well." ”

This is almost equivalent to agreeing to plan and support He Sixian's entry into the palace, He Sixian was secretly happy, but said respectfully on his face: "Thank you Queen Mother, Sixian can only do her best." ”

"Good." The Queen Mother is very satisfied, it seems that sometimes, some things are more reliable to do by yourself. The last time she went to the Guogong Mansion, the old mother persuaded her many times to let this girl enter the palace, so that she could have a right-hand man, and she had been very hesitant, but in the current situation, between herself and the emperor, there must indeed be someone to neutralize it.

He Sixian was happy that the Queen Mother was dissatisfied with Yu Shiyou, and with the support of the Queen Mother, many things would be easy to do.

And said that after Yu Shiyou retired, Xue gradually left to see that she was not in a good state, and sent her back to Kunyuan Palace, and when she arrived in the palace, she immediately ordered the palace door to be closed, hid in the room and cried loudly.

"Xiaofeng, don't be too sad, Mama Mei doesn't want you to be like this......"

Yu Shiyou shook her head, she just held back a bubble of tears, she had to cry in her heart to be happy, today's scene almost scared her to death, how could she ever see such a thing.

Mama Mei died, for her. She didn't see the content of the suicide note, but according to her understanding of Mama Mei, she must have taken all the responsibility on herself and didn't let her suffer the slightest grievance, so the emperor could judge like this, but didn't the emperor have any doubts in his heart? There is also the Queen Mother, who seems to be very disappointed in this, and even resents herself.

Yu Shiyou cried enough, so he wiped his tears with a handkerchief and said, "I'm fine, don't worry." Mama Mei's matter, I know in my heart, I hurt her, but now I not only offended the emperor, but also offended the queen mother, this is really not my intention, today the emperor has no punishment, it is to give me face, to give face to the Prime Minister's Mansion, if it is really investigated, I and the Prime Minister's Mansion will not be able to escape. ”

Xue gradually comforted, "Don't think about it, the imperial brother is very wise, he will not let go of a bad person, but he will not wronged a good person, he knows that you are innocent, so he judged like this." ”

Yu Shiyou said: "I don't understand you gradually, although you are a princess, but many times, you are outside, you don't have to be restrained, and you don't have to think too much, but I'm different." This is equivalent to my home, once involved, even the Prime Minister's Mansion will suffer, today in front of everyone, the emperor does not embarrass me, and I don't want such a thing to spread out, but to say that I am not responsible, that is also impossible, what the emperor did not say, I want to do it well. ”

Xue Wanli asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Pleading, I'm going to write a pleading." She didn't want to get involved in right and wrong, but right and wrong didn't let her go after all, the queen mother's side, hey, don't say it, Yu Shiyou just wants to think of a way to avoid it.

Xue gradually left and had to follow her, but after today's incident, she had a deeper understanding of Xue Yinong and the palace, she didn't want to stay here, she didn't want to, and when she found a time, she wanted to go out of the palace! Going out of the palace to breathe, it would be happier, but the thought of separating from Yu Shiyou for a while made her a little sad.

After the charity banquet was over, Xue Yinong also returned to the Splendid Palace, she was very tired, looking at Xu Shutong's eyes, but pursed her lips, as if she didn't know how to tell her.

Xu Shutong smiled and said, "What's wrong?" Are you upset to see me? ”

"No, I'm glad."

"But Yinong didn't laugh!"

Xue Yinong squeezed out a reluctant smile, stood up and walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, even Xu Shutong hugged the quilt together, "Today's matter, I have already found out, and it has nothing to do with you." But when I relax, as long as I think of someone trying to harm you, I panic, in case something happens to you today, really, I don't know how to deal with the remnants, Shutong, I can't live without you now, please be safe. In the future, without my company, no matter which palace person comes to invite, you don't want to go, do you know? ”

The Queen Mother wanted to make a fuss about this matter, making her think of Xu Shutong's situation, which was very dangerous in this palace, and even the queen's grandmother was jealous and murderous towards her.

Xu Shutong, who has no name, is dangerous, very dangerous.

Xue Yinong strongly wants to fight for Xu Shutong's fame, which Xu Shutong never expected, "Why should Yinong be like this, as long as we can be together, it will be fine." ”

"Dredging Tong can not be rare, but I can't help it, so that you can be justified in the palace, otherwise anyone seems to be able to bully you."

Xu Shutong had already learned some things from the early return, and she understood what Xue Yinong was thinking, so she no longer shirked very much, "It's just that the matter is big, whether to wait until spring ......" She knew that at any time, Xue Yinong could seal people, but she intended to do so, hoping that she could occupy a place in the palace, so that one less woman would be wronged. This is Xue Yinong's goodness, but what she doesn't know is that how many people come for glory and wealth, they don't care at all, as long as they enter the palace, they think they can do whatever they can do if they enter the palace.

"It's up to you. But remember to protect yourself. ”

"Hmm."

"Especially the Queen Mother, if there is a summons, just say that I said it, you are not allowed to go, you are recuperating and unwell, do you hear?"

Xue Yinong's repeated concerns, Xu Shutong could only obey orders, leaning on her arms, relieved and relieved, feeling that she was a good companion.

The next day, Xue Yinong went to court and received a letter of resignation from Prime Minister Yu, saying that he was old and hoped to retire. Xue Yinong knew that he was too careful, and kept it again and again, but he couldn't keep it, so he allowed him and rewarded him with many things as comfort.

Back at the Splendid Palace, there was a letter of invitation from Yu Shiyou. Xue Yinong said: "Their grandfather and grandson really have a tacit understanding, the former dynasty shouted to retire, and the granddaughter has to ask for guilt." Taking it over and looking at it, she asked Xu Shutong, "How does Shutong think I should deal with this matter?" The queen asked for a year to be cut in half to finance the victims. ”

"You can deal with it however you want, why bother asking me."

"Haven't you thought that maybe Mama Mei was instructed by her to kill you, and now she is just pretending, she has done this more than once."

Xu Shutong said: "How come, I look at the queen very well, didn't she say that she came with us last time, there must be a villain who is in the way." She actually understands very well that if Yu Shiyou really has a problem, if she doesn't wait for her to say, Xue Yinong will solve the trouble, but she left Yu Shiyou, thinking that she knows the truth.

"That's right, then it's up to her. Her life is not easy, the Queen Mother is very disappointed in her this time, she deliberately wants to avoid the Queen Mother's reproach. ”

She saw it very clearly on the spot, Yu Shiyou's hesitation was all about showing that Yu Shiyou wanted to remain neutral and didn't want to get involved between the Queen Mother and Xu Shutong.

Just because she is unwilling to be the queen mother's knife, Xue Yinong should also be grateful. She was a smart woman, and she was very considerate of herself, and she should repay the favor.

Xue Yinong asked Ren Gonggong to pass the word, "Just say that I am allowed, but there is no need to reduce it, and there is no less of her little bit, so that she can be in the palace well, and she is not allowed to leave the palace for half a step without any major events." ”

Although it was a lockdown order, Yu Shiyou was very happy when he heard it. For the purity from then on, but also for Xue Yinong's 'understanding'.

Xue gradually left the side, saw her happy, and asked: "What's so happy about this, the imperial brother agreed, I think he just doesn't want to see you at all, and he blames you in his heart!" ”

Yu Shiyou explained: "It's not like this, don't misunderstand the emperor when you leave, he is protecting me, and he is afraid that the queen mother will blame me, so he said this...... Don't you always misunderstand him, okay? ”

"Hmph, you will speak for him, I'm jealous, I'm jealous, Xiaofeng is a bad person, married, and has a husband and no good friends." Xue Wanli's face was bulging, and he was pinched by Yu Shiyou with a smile. It's funny to eat Xue Yi's thick vinegar for her, that's her own brother!

After the Queen Mother learned about this from Xiaodouzi's mouth, she only said three words, "Coward." "In vain, she chose her to be the queen, and Prime Minister Yu also made a turtle with a shrunken head, and these two grandchildren have all gone through a routine, and they are boring.

The Queen Mother then made up her mind to find a helper for herself, but she and Xue Yinong didn't look good on their faces, so they didn't mention it for the time being.

Everyone is waiting for the arrival of spring.

After the Chinese New Year, it has been almost a year since the new emperor ascended the throne, and in order to respect the previous emperor's country name, it has also been changed.

This year, Dachang year.

With the spring coming, the disaster situation in various places has been well controlled because of the good handling, the plague has not spread significantly, because the research of the medicine is timely, and it has not caused any panic, the displaced people in the capital have made relevant arrangements, and those who should return to their hometowns have been entangled and distributed back.

The corrupt officials in the court ruthlessly killed a number of people, and for a while, the court personnel were greatly reduced. But it also shocked many people, Xue Yinong was still gentle and soft, as if she was a good bully, and the ministers didn't dare not take her seriously.

At the same time, a civil and military promotion was held, and new talents were selected, as well as both internal and external recommendations. You can become a state official through the guò exam, or you can recommend people you know through guò, as well as self-recommendation and other ways, which widens the channel for the delivery of talents.

The country has a great appearance, and it seems to have the tendency to compete for the world.

But none of this has anything to do with Xue Wanli, because the last time I watched the scandal in the palace, Xue Wanli gradually had the heart to leave the palace, but Yu Shiyou was still sad, so he stayed in the palace and accompanied her for a while.

On this day, he said goodbye to Yu Shiyou. "Xiaofeng, I've thought about it for a long time, but I still want to leave." Facing Yu Shiyou, her mood became more and more complicated, she completely lost the chic in the past, had no heart or lungs, but became sentimental, so she wanted to go out for a walk. Thinking that Xue Yinong still had something for her to do, he planned to take the opportunity to do it.

"Really? Got it, go for it! Yu Shiyou didn't have half a point to retain, and Xue gradually left like an arrow through his heart.

only said 'um' and left, Yu Shiyou saw that she didn't say some hippie smiley words, and it was boring, so he walked to the door to look at her, and only looked back until he couldn't see it.

As soon as Xue gradually left, Kunyuan Palace felt very lonely.

Xue gradually left to find Xue Yinong, and Xue Yinong said during the New Year that there were two more gifts, and she would give them when she was leaving. Xue Yinong was very happy to see her coming, and because although she was in the palace, she didn't come to see her, so she deliberately said angrily: "It's really okay to go to the Three Treasures Palace, and my sister won't come here if you have nothing to do." ”

Xue Yanli smiled and said, "Brother Huang has a beautiful woman by his side, do you still have time to miss me?" ”

"Well, I didn't expect that I still have Shutong, and I really don't have time to think about you."

Xue gradually left: "......" The imperial brother is really typical, but thinking of Xue Yinong's trust and maintenance of Xu Shutong that day, as an outsider, she was also very moved in her eyes.

It is difficult for the palace to produce love, but her motherly brother is so responsible, this time back, she really has: Shibei three days, impressive. She was also touched now, and said: "Brother Huang has already failed Xiaofeng, so don't let Xu Shutong live up to it anymore." ”

"Yes. It's the same with you, if you have someone you like, no matter who he is, what kind of background, what he looks like, as long as you like it, even if it's our enemy, I will accept it, I will support it, as long as you are happy. Here in the palace, don't worry, no matter who wants to beat your idea, I will never let them touch your happiness, you know? ”

Xue gradually left Huo De moved, and tears came out. stepped forward and hugged Xue Yinong fiercely, hugging her tightly, eager to squeeze into a spicy strip as thin.

Xue Yinong said: "Sister let go, if you let Shutong see it, it will be misunderstood, and you won't kiss it." She screamed deliberately exaggeratedly.

Xue gradually broke away from tears and laughed, "Stupid imperial brother, what you said is not funny at all, by the way, what were the two gifts you said to give me last time?" It's not that I want to go to Xu Shutong's sister, I plan to leave in the near future. ”

"That's right, Falling Goose." Xue Yinong shouted.

Luo Yan poked out his face, "What is the emperor looking for a slave to do?" ”

"I sent the gift I wanted to give to the princess, didn't I let you take it last time, where did you put it?"

"Oh, here it is!" She came to open the box, took out a golden soft vest and a small bag, and handed both to Xue Yinong.

Xue gradually moved away from the tip of his eyes, and found that the vest was the invulnerable baby golden cicada clothes, which was invulnerable to all poisons and invulnerable, how could Xue Yinong give it to her?

"Brother Huang, how can I accept such a valuable thing?"

"Things are precious, for me, nothing can compare to your peace, you do things for me, I don't allow you to go wrong."

Xue Yanli was very moved, but he said unrelentingly: "I know, I am looking for a sister for Xu Shutong, and the imperial brother naturally said so." ”

Xue Yinong snorted, as if he had seen through her little trick, and didn't say it on the spot.

Xue gradually left the bag, opened it to see, but it was a stack of silver tickets, the world is unfavorable, it turned out to be this meaning, this imperial brother, really tricky, she took things, said thanks, who knew that Xue Yinong took out a third thing, but it was the dagger that Chinese New Year's Eve gave her.

The last time Mama Mei borrowed it, she never returned it. At that time, he only said that he would borrow it and take a look, but he didn't know what would happen next, and the dagger had never been in the official.

Xue Yinong gave it to her again, "Don't lose it again this time." ”

"Yes." After sending three gifts, Xue Yinong was still not at ease, and wanted to send more people, but Xue gradually refused. "Brother Huang, don't worry about it, you can rest assured that you will bring Shuying over sooner or later, so that you can ask for credit in front of your sweetheart."

"Hehe, thank you."

Her calm appearance made Xue gradually feel a little sad in her heart, but she didn't delve into what this feeling was? Envy, or something else, she doesn't understand yet.

Xue gradually left, and the palace seemed to lose a ray of sunshine. But this does not prevent the arrival of spring, and the days are getting warmer.

On this day, Xu Shutong and Xue Yinong sat at the same desk, Xue Yinong was criticizing the folds, Xu Shutong sat next to her to make tea for her, while talking to her, "Spring is here, and those ministers are afraid that they can't wait to draft the emperor." She said softly.

Xue Yinong was holding a book in his hand, and when he mentioned this on the fold, Xue Yinong smiled and said, "Could it be that Shutong is a female Zhuge can't be successful?" ”

"Huh?" Xu Shutong's eyes were puzzled. Xue Yinong handed her the fold and let her see it. After reading it, she smiled and said: "That's really wronged me, I just said it casually, how do I know that I guessed it." ”

In the compromise, it is inevitable to say that there are too few emperors in the harem, and the heirs under the knees are thin, which is the meaning of persuading the draft.

"The former son and mother came to me and told me that they wanted to give their father a concubine, whether they would take advantage of this opportunity and we would ...... too."

"The Emperor is also ......" Actually, Xu Shutong didn't understand that the relationship between the Emperor Taishang and the Empress Dowager He has always been good, and it can be regarded as a rare example of affection, how can it be ...... when he is old

"That's right, the queen mother is also very embarrassed, but the father has this need, and she can't stop it too much, I expect her to mean that sooner or later my identity problem will be exposed, and if the father has a son under his knees, it will be logical."

"Then aren't you making wedding clothes for others now?"

"That's no way to do it, if it really comes to that day, I don't know if my life can be saved, and what else can I say. Well, don't think about it, he will give it to him if he wants to. As long as he doesn't beat your mind, hehe. ”

Xue Yinong leaned towards Xu Shutong's side, and was slapped by Xu Shutong, "Nonsense." ”

"That's not necessarily nonsense, everyone wants you, do you want to ...... Let me bully ......"

The two were already used to playing, and when no one was there, they couldn't help but kiss secretly, and when they were kissing, there was the sound of falling geese outside.

"Your Majesty."

Both of them were stunned, their movements were skillful, and they hurriedly held their faces with both hands to cool down, Xu Shutong reached out and took the inkstone over, lowered his head to grind the ink, Xue Yinong held the fold, and when his breath calmed down, he said: "What's the matter?" In. ”

After the wild goose came in, she always felt that the atmosphere was strange, as if there was an extra breath in the air, a very sweet and greasy breath, and she couldn't say it.

The two of them didn't seem to be any different from usual, but Luo Yan still felt that something was wrong, she looked at it for a while, and then said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has a message from her side and asks you to go to the Palace of Recuperation." ”

"Did you say anything?"

Only then did Luo Yan notice that the emperor's lips seemed to be very red, and a little crystal clear, like some kind of fruit.

Xue Yinong noticed that Luo Yan was looking at him, and hurriedly said, "What's wrong?" Still talking? ”

Xu Shutong raised her head slightly, glanced at Xue Yinong, and found that the fold in her hand was reversed, she wanted to laugh, but she had to hold back, and whispered: "Your Majesty, take it upside down." ”

Xue Yinong looked puzzled, Xu Shutong had no choice but to stare at the fold with his eyes, Xue Yinong kept sweeping around, blocked his mouth with the fold and asked, "What?" ”

She didn't find it, but the wild goose did. The two were whispering, and the two words were reversed.

Xu Shutong pointed to the fold, Xue Yinong hurriedly turned back, and said to Luo Yan: "It's okay, I just happened to perform for Shutong, how can I read it back!" By the way, why did the Queen Mother come to me and ask if she had asked? ”

"Yes, it's a draft."

"Oh, then I'll go first, don't make her old man wait."

Xu Shutong laughed out loud, this Xue Yinong buried the Queen Mother like this behind her back, the Queen Mother will be mad, what an 'old man'.

Xue Yinong didn't care, got up and went to the palace first. There is nothing to say when I get there, but the Queen Mother asked, and Xue Yinong replied, the matter of the draft has always been ruled by the harem, and the queen is in retreat.

The queen mother asked: "The affairs of the harem have always been in charge of the queen, there was no queen before, and the mourning family is temporary, and now she is still the main thing, do you want her to come out and preside?" ”

"Okay."

Xue Yinong agreed, but felt that the Queen Mother was too old to work hard. Second, this is indeed the scope of Yu Shiyou's authority. Third, there is the Queen Mother, and it is inevitable that there will be a lot of interference, so I am afraid that there will be obstacles in the matter between her and Xu Shutong.

Since the Queen Mother agreed, she didn't have any opinions.

The Queen Mother smiled slightly, "In the future, it will be lively when there are people in the harem, and the emperor should be fair, and it will be good if the rain and dew are evenly wet." ”

Xue Yinong smiled slightly, "I will handle my own affairs, and I don't bother the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother was deflated, Xue Yinong's psychological defense line was still tight, and in these few fights, the relationship between the two looked good on the surface, but in fact, they were a little unhappy with each other. The Queen Mother was not in a hurry to let her change anything, she said: "The mourning family just reminds you in vain, the mourning family doesn't want to take care of your young people's affairs." ”

"I hope the Queen Mother will do what she says."

The Queen Mother almost burst into fire in her nose, but she held it back, and praised Xue Yinong in other aspects, which allowed her to leave.

Xiaodouzi has been waiting by the side, and when Xue Yinong left, he asked the Queen Mother, "Do you really let the emperor do whatever he wants?" ”

"Now that he's older, he has more ideas, and he has more mourning for his family, and he'll be unhappy. But then again, he has done a commendable job in court politics, not that the mourning family buries his son, which is inferior to him. The disaster was handled properly, so that he won the support of many ministers, who were originally still neutral and watching, but now they are slowly adapting to his team, and the response of the people is also quite good, and there is a group of people who support it. But the government and the harem, after all, are two directions, the harem is a woman's world after all, even if he is the emperor, he is sad to be a beauty, the mourning family especially convinces her, it is better to let others persuade her, don't underestimate the pillow wind, when can Xu Shutong laugh is not necessarily, what about people? I'm afraid of comparison. There was that young and beautiful person who stood in front of Xu Shutong, and she was not so prominent. ”

Xiaodouzi can only say yes and praise the Queen Mother for her wisdom.
