Everyone looked at the door in unison, and saw the three of them coming side by side, Xue Yinong was today's birthday star, wearing a red dress, on the left. Xu Muran wore a light blue dress, on the right. On the contrary, Xu Shutong was in the center, her body was heavy, and the two people on the left and right helped her over.

Xue Yinong saw that everyone had arrived, and said with a smile: "I made the next post yesterday, I didn't want to invite everyone, thank you for the light, everyone will sit down when they come." ”

When the people heard this, there were those who picked up seats and those who did not. They all looked at the meaning of the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager He, all of these people had seen Xu Muran, but the Empress Dowager He had never seen it. At first sight, she was directly stunned, she didn't want Xu Shuying and Xu Shutong to look so similar, even Xue Yinong and Xue gradually separated, she could tell at a glance, if the two were not looking at the stomach, they really couldn't be distinguished.

He is generally tall and looks generally beautiful.

Empress Dowager He sighed: "The mourning family has lived for so many years, and I never thought that there were such similar sisters in this world. So he asked, "What's your name?" ”

Xu Muran stepped forward and blessed him, "Replying to the words of the Queen Mother, the people's daughter Xu Shuying." ”

Empress Dowager He asked again: "How old is this year?" ”

"Returning to the words of the Queen Mother, it's twenty."

Empress Dowager He muttered to herself: "It's not small." "Later, she didn't directly ask 'Is there a Xu family', she had already received the news yesterday that the Queen Mother's sister was going to tell Xu Shuying to Xue Yinong as a concubine today, and some words had to be stopped in moderation, lest this question hit the Queen Mother's mind.

So-called: As soon as some words are spoken, the words are long.

"Where did you live before?" Xu Muran replied, and Empress Dowager He asked a lot, "Are your parents here?" ”

Xu Muran lowered his head for a while, "My parents are no longer alive." ”

Empress Dowager He sighed and comforted her a few words, "Fortunately, there is still a sister, if there is anything difficult in the palace, just tell Xu Jieyu not to see outside." Xu Muran thanked her, and the Empress Dowager He rewarded her with a pair of jade bracelets as a gift, "I came in a hurry today, and I didn't prepare a gift, this pair of bracelets is a gift for meeting, and it is shabby." ”

The things sent out by the Empress Dowager He, where is the bargain, but it is just humble.

Xu Muran refused to ask for it, "How can this be made, it's too precious." ”

Empress Dowager He looked at her with a smile, "Take it." ”

Xu Muran looked at Xu Shutong again and again, Xu Shutong nodded and motioned for her to accept it, and Xu Muran thanked her. After speaking, there were many people in the room, and they couldn't help but see them one by one.

Xu Shutong has children, so he was exempted from saluting, but he also greeted them one by one.

Xue Yinong asked everyone to sit down and speak, "Don't stand, sit down." Everyone sat down and pushed the birthday star to sit first, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother He accompanied on the right side, Yu Shiyou and others sat in turn, Xu Shutong sat first on the left side of Xue Yinong, that is, next to her, Xu Muran followed.

Before the banquet began, everyone gossiped a little.

The Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager He whispered to each other, "Sister, what do you think of this child?" ”

Empress Dowager He had already understood what the Empress Dowager meant, and said, "I look good." ”

The Queen Mother smiled at the corner of her mouth, "The mourning family also thinks so." Now that she has found out what her sister meant, she also has a good impression of Xu Shuying, and when the banquet is over, she can give Xu Shuying to the Empress Dowager He.

After saying a few words, the Queen Mother looked around, but saw that there was one person missing. couldn't help asking, "Why doesn't Xiao Jieyu come?" ”

Xue Yinong saw her asking, and hurriedly replied: "I said I was coming, but unfortunately I am not in good health, so I will exempt her from traveling and let her stay in the house to raise her." ”

The Queen Mother frowned when she heard this, "Why is she not in good health, she hasn't been out for more than half a year, don't she be very sick, if that's the case, when the banquet is over, the mourning family will go to see." ”

Where is Xue Yinong willing to let her go, when she goes, won't she understand everything. said: "It's okay, there will be a doctor to take care of it sooner or later, and the queen mother wants to see it, so I will ask the doctor Lin to come and ask." I also asked before, saying that it was a weak body, not a serious illness, usually already recuperating, I want to wait for the child to be born, it will slowly recover, I think about waiting for the child to be born, and then ask her to go over to the Queen Mother to say goodbye. ”

When the Queen Mother heard her say this, it was just that.

After a short time, the banquet was opened, everyone ate noodles, ate birthday cakes, and drank some wine, Xue Yinong gave Xu Shutong vegetables from time to time, and asked her softly, "Do you want to eat this?" Or, "Would you like to eat that?" Although the words are light, they are quite unsightly in the eyes of everyone.

Yu Shiyou already understood, so he glanced at it lightly and just ate his own things.

Li Tong hadn't spoken to Xue Yinong for a while, and when he saw the two of her like this, his heart was slightly sour. She recited so many Buddha rice, but she still couldn't let go like that, and her eyes swept to Yu Shiyou. Xin said: "It's better to Sister Yu, I can think about everything." "If she could do the same, wouldn't life be much better now.

He Sixian had no intention of eating, she didn't wait for Xu Shutong's alliance, she couldn't help but sneer and look at the jokes in her heart, to see if Xu Shutong could have any good ideas to get through this hurdle.

To the Empress Dowager He, she has been paying attention to the small actions of the two. Seeing them snickering a few times from time to time and making some small movements of children, my heart was very comforting. My daughter grew up and finally knew that it hurts.

But there is also sadness, I used to be like this, but now I haven't talked to the Emperor for a long time, and I haven't had a good meal. The previous love has turned into desolation at the moment.

She really couldn't understand such two people, and they were beyond the scope of her comprehension, but seeing her daughter so happy, even she couldn't bear to bother.

She said secretly in her heart: "If Xu Shutong can be sincere to Yinong, I don't care, if she hurts Yinong a little bit one day, I will never forgive." ”

Empress Dowager He kindly asked Xu Shutong, "Is the child troublesome?" ”

"After returning to his mother, the child is very well-behaved." She turned her head and glanced at Xue Yinong and said, "The concubine and the emperor discussed in private, and they both felt that they were very similar to the emperor's temperament, very gentle, and it was very likely that she was a little princess." The concubine's body is taken care of by everyone, and she is also very healthy. ”

Empress Dowager He nodded.

Others think that Xu Shutong is very pretending, which woman in the palace doesn't want to give birth to a son, and she has a little princess, and she looks so sweet, she can really pretend.

The Queen Mother said: "For the first child, it is better to give birth to a prince." The emperor promised that someone would inherit the big business. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with Xu Shutong's desire to give birth to a daughter, and according to Xu Shutong's personality, he was willing to give birth to a daughter.

Mothers are more expensive than children!

Xue Yinong was afraid that the Queen Mother's words would conflict with Xu Shutong, so he said: "It's not in the way, I like my daughter very much, and there is no difference between a son and a daughter, they are the treasures in my heart." ”

Everyone thought that Xue Yinong was dizzy, and it was estimated that he was brainwashed by Xu Shutong.

It was still Empress Dowager He who spoke, "Okay, let's stop arguing, whether it's the prince or the princess, if you don't eat something, it's going to be cold, let's move the chopsticks quickly." ”

Empress Dowager He extinguished a gunpowder smoke for them, everyone ate as usual, finished eating, sat there chatting, there were two queen mothers there, and everyone was not in a hurry to leave.

A handful of melon seeds were snorting in front of each person, Xu Shutong was sitting on a mahogany chair, but there were two people next to her. Li Tong and Xue Yinong, Li Tong has a decent relationship with her, and Li Tong has always been a heartless look, Xu Shutong likes her to be innocent, at that moment, Li Tong came over and squatted, raised his head and said, "Sister Xu, can you let me say hello to the little prince?" ”

She suddenly saw that someone was pregnant, and it was very novel, she didn't know how the child was born in the womb, and she also had a belly of questions.

Xu Shutong smiled: "Okay." ”

Li Tong squatted down and leaned against Xu Shutong's stomach to listen to the movement and greeted, "Hello little prince, I'm Li Tong, what's your name?" ”

Suddenly, someone came over, leaned against her and said, "I haven't named it yet, so I don't know." "Xue Yinong also came to join in the fun, he has a child, and he is suspected of offering treasures." Last time I heard her move, she was very cute, and Shutong said that she looked like me. ”

Li Tong smiled and commented, "Then dare to be kind, little emperor, wouldn't it be interesting for two people to stand together?" Maybe the child is a twin, the dragon and phoenix fetus is good, there are men and women, my mother said that twins are also easier to have twins, maybe Sister Xu's little prince and little princess have it, and the child also has a companion at that time......"

She was not jealous at all when she spoke, and she said wherever she wanted. With yearning on his face.

Xu Muran sat next to Xu Shutong, heard this, and asked, "What did Li Meiren and the emperor say quietly?" ”

Li Tong raised his head and said, "It's nothing, I'm talking about children." ”

"I like children so much, you also give birth to one to play."

Li Tong glanced at Xue Yinong, Xue Yinong felt a little embarrassed, stood up, Li Tong also sneered, said a few words and walked to Yu Shiyou's side to speak.

Xu Muran pretended not to know and asked Xu Shutong, "Sister, what's wrong with Li Meiren?" Why did I say a word and she left. Am I wrong? ”

Xu Shutong smiled and said: "How can there be a mistake, it's just that people are embarrassed." "But I really don't feel very comfortable in my heart, this fake actually wants to sow discord, she is still here, just say these things and do something, do you mean that she is bullying or what?

"That's good, I thought I was saying something wrong." Xu Muran touched his chest, as if he was frightened, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "But seeing the emperor and Li Meiren squatting together, they are indeed a bit of childhood sweethearts, and they look like a couple." ”

Xu Muran began to play her mouth again.

Xu Shutong just smiled, "Yes, whoever the emperor is with is like a golden boy and a jade girl, a natural pair, and besides, Li Meiren and the emperor are like a couple, they are originally a couple, aren't they?" ”

Li Tong was biting her ears with Yu Shiyou, but in fact, her eyes would sneak over there, and occasionally some residual words fell into her ears, making her blush.

Yu Shiyou looked at her, only sighing. Although Xu Shutong and Xu Muran's voices were not loud, this room was not big, and their words gently drifted into everyone's ears, Yu Shiyou glanced at Xu Muran deeply, and then looked away, not knowing what he was thinking.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she was very happy.

"Miss Xu, what kind of couple, do you have your own pair?"

The Queen Mother asked intentionally, Xu Muran stood up and replied, "Back to the Queen Mother, the people have their own sweethearts." ”

Xu Shutong looked at her and narrowed her eyes slightly, she asked Xu Muran before, didn't Xu Muran say that she didn't have a sweetheart, she was really lying.

I don't know which one I am sprinkling now.

The Queen Mother was obviously also very curious, "Who can get Miss Xu's heart, the mourning family is more and more curious by what you said, what kind of person is it, what kind of character?" ”

"It's just a folk kid, where is it worth entering the ears of the Queen Mother."

"You don't want to say it, I'm afraid you don't."

"Since the Queen Mother wants to know, the people's girl will make a mistake. He is tall and handsome, with very good-looking thick eyebrows, beautiful eyes, a very straight nose, very sexy lips, he has solid arms, a broad mind, knowledge, and vision, and in the hearts of the people's daughters, no one can compare. ”

"Oh? Is there a better person in this world than the emperor? ”

Xu Muran sneered in his heart, does everyone want to like the emperor? What's more, the emperor doesn't look like he has all the hair, and Xu Shutong is rare with such a small hair, and he has no manliness at all.

She said modestly: "The emperor is as good as the emperor, but in the hearts of the people's daughters, the people's daughters also have their own heavens." ”

The Queen Mother didn't expect that she would be robbed in public, and she would be a matchmaker for Xue Yinong, but this Xu Shuying didn't cooperate at all, making her lose face, and her face was very ugly.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager He said in her heart: "My sister is a person above 10,000 people, how can she be robbed in vain, if she is angry with Xu Jieyu because of this, it will be bad, and I think she is deliberately letting her sister say such things to make her ugly." She said: "Since Miss Xu has a sweetheart, why hasn't she married yet?" Xu Muran's eyes darkened for a moment, and Empress Dowager He knew that she had an unspeakable secret, so she didn't mention it, and said, "You probably have your own reasons, and the mourning family doesn't want to ask, but when I see you, the mourning family also has a reluctant request." ”

Xu Muran said angrily, "Empress Dowager He, please speak." ”

"The mourning family also has a daughter, only one year younger than you, but there is no daughter at all, the mourning family always feels that they have given birth to two sons, and the mourning family sees you, only then does they feel that the daughter should be like this, if you don't dislike it, the mourning family is willing to accept you as a righteous daughter."

When the Queen Mother heard this, she felt that the wind was not in the right direction, she was going to say that Xu Shuying was a concubine, why did her sister make trouble with herself?

She was about to speak, but was interrupted by Xu Muran, "How dare a mere folk girl climb the Queen Mother." ”

"It's not a high climb, if General Xu is here, why do you have to go to the rivers and lakes and suffer so much. Today, your sister became the daughter-in-law of the mourning family, and the mourning family accepted you as a righteous daughter, hoping that you would marry a good family, isn't it also right, in the final analysis, our Xue family is sorry for your Xu family. ”

The Queen Mother said, "Sister, what are you talking nonsense?" ”

Empress Dowager He sighed, "Sister, don't you forget who wronged General Xu and ruined their family, if it weren't for the first emperor to listen to slander, there would be no today." ”

"But Qingyi has already rehabilitated the Xu family, hasn't it? Why do you do this......"

"My parents are not in the high hall, how to choose a good family, I will be the master on behalf of their parents." The Empress Dowager Ariga agreed with all her might, and what she said was well-founded, and the Empress Dowager was aggrieved for a while, and she was not easy to speak, but she thought that Xu Shuying would become her sister's 'goddaughter', not her 'daughter-in-law', and she was unexpected, and she couldn't react.

When everyone saw such a good deed, they were happy to do it. Celebrate with the Empress Dowager He, "Congratulations to the Queen Mother for receiving a good daughter." ”

Another said: "Congratulations to Miss Xu for getting a stepmother." Xu Muran thanked them one by one.

Xue Yinong also came over to join in the fun, and said: "In this case, why don't you borrow this cup of tea, set your name, and everyone is present to testify, it is my birthday, and the beauty of life will be completed quickly." ”

Empress Dowager He laughed at her, "It's like you're in a hurry, depending on you." The palace maid had already brought the tea, Xu Muran took it, and someone sent a futon to make her kneel.

Xu Muran raised the teacup high, "Daughter Shuying meets her mother." ”

Empress Dowager He took it with a smile, took a sip of tea, handed the teacup to the palace maid beside her, stood up and helped Xu Muran, "With you as a companion in the future, the mourning family will not be lonely." As for the gradual departure of the mourning family, the mourning family still counts, a heart is idle into a wild crane, and he refuses to stay in front of the mourning family for half a minute. ”

The crowd just pursed their lips and laughed.

He Sixian only understood at this moment that Xu Shutong refused to marry her because of this method. You don't have to wronged your sister, you don't have to hand your sister into the hands of others, it's really a good trick.

In the future, even if the Queen Mother mentions anything to be a concubine, I am afraid that she will not be able to. So many people are here today to do this.

He Sixian sneered.

After Xu Muran saw him, Xue Yinong came over to join in the fun, and called out with a shy face, "Sister God." ”

The crowd laughed. Xu Muran smiled: "Do I want to call you 'brother-in-law', or do I want to call you 'royal brother'?" Everyone laughed even more happily, waiting for Xue Yinong's answer.

"What's so difficult about that. When you come to see Shutong, I am my brother-in-law, and if you come to see me, I am my godsister. ”

Xu Shutong pushed her, "You can really find an opportunity to pretend to be tender." ”

The crowd laughed again.

A room full of joyful people.

When everyone dispersed, Xue Yinong helped Xu Shutong go back to rest, and Xu Muran also went back. Cun Xi and Luo Yan followed behind, chattering and telling jokes.

The small party was held in the Splendid Palace, so the two of them didn't have to walk a few steps to arrive. Xue Muran lived near them, separated by a few rooms. Seeing that the two were about to enter the house, they took their leave.

"I'll go back to the house first."

"Go back and get some rest." Xue Yinong and Xu Shutong stood at the door and watched Xu Muran walk away with a few palace maids, and then turned back.

Cun Xi and Luo Yan had nothing to do, and they also had to go to rest, knowing that the two were going to talk, and when the two entered the house, they closed the door.

After Xue Yinong entered the house, he looked very excited, "This time we worked together to finally shatter the Queen Mother's plan, and now I am really unspeakably happy." She shook her arms, and she was so light." The only thing to do is to wait for our children to come into this world. I'm ready, come on! She gave a big hug.

Xu Shutong sat there drinking tea, and when he heard Xue Yinong's tone relaxed and pleasant, as if he had no worries in his life, he couldn't help but smile, "Did Yinong forget it, you still have one thing to do?" ”

"What's the matter?"

"Give your child a name, you can't always call 'child' and 'child' all the time, everyone Li Meiren has reminded you."

Speaking of this, Xue Yinong pulled a stool and sat down, supported his face with his hands and said, "That's it, what's it called?" I couldn't think of it. ”

I feel that this is good, that is good, a lot, and suddenly asked, and my head was blank and blind.

Xu Shutong said with a smile: "The emperor didn't expect it, I thought of one." ”

"Oh, what is it? Let's talk about it. ”

Xu Shutong raised two fingers. Xue Yinong said: "Two? ”

Xu Shutong said: "Two fools." ”

Xue Yinong coughed violently a few times, she choked on saliva, didn't she say that Xu Shutong knew everything, she knew everything, how to come up with a name, so ......

"Shutong, are you sure you're not joking? The name is not a little princess at all. "Xue Yinong is obviously a little upset for the child, a princess is called 'two fools'.

"What's this, it's just a nickname. Does the emperor know what my nickname is? ”

Xue Yinong shook his head, "I haven't heard you say it, I only know that the queen's name is 'Xiaofeng', and I really don't know the others." ”

Xu Shutong didn't say anything yet, he laughed first. "My nickname is 'Toilet Seat.'"

"What?"

"Toilet seat."

If Xue Yinong has tea in his mouth at this time, he will have to squirt out, who is so cute and has such a nickname. "Who got it, is it the father-in-law or the mother-in-law?"

"My dad."

Xue Yinong gave a thumbs up, she was too cultured, and called a girl like a flower and jade 'toilet seat'. "How did you call it Shutong later?"

"That's my mother changed, when I was a child, it doesn't matter if I called it, when I got older, I knew that it was embarrassing, my mother saw a plane tree in front of the door, and it was not very lush, so it was called dredging."

"What about your sister, I told her nickname."

Xu Shutong lightly spit out three words, "washbasin." ”

"Poof, this is my father-in-law's masterpiece again. By the way, why did he call you a toilet seat? ”

"It just so happened that the toilet seat was broken that day, and I was repairing it, and the work in my hand was called smoothly."

"Your sister is also smooth?"

"Well, my father was washing his face that day, and my mother came to ask for his name, and when he saw it, his head was blank, and the washbasin in front of him was particularly conspicuous......"

Can she say that her father-in-law is too good at saving effort, and now even Shutong is like this, and he is still 'stupid'.

"Then why is our child called Ersil, you won't try to save effort, right?"

"No, I just think she must look like the emperor."

"Oh, so I'm stupid!"

Xu Shutong smiled: "I didn't say that, you admitted it yourself." ”

"Daimyo, what's the child's name?"

Xu Shutong thought for a while, "I want to save effort, so I call it Yishu." ”

"Yishu? It's still a writer's pen name, which is labor-saving enough. ”

"What is a writer?"

"Those who write articles, like ants, who carry words like ants, are literati." She was afraid that Xu Shutong would ask again, so she asked, "How did you come up with this name?" ”

"Unexpectedly, it was just to save effort and synthesize our name."

Xue Yinong came to her senses, it turned out to be 'Yishu', she was scared to death, and she almost thought that Xu Shutong had also crossed over.

After talking about the child's name, she laughed enough, but she was a little tired, Xu Shutong was going to lie down and rest, Xue Yinong helped her go, and the two of them lay on the bed to rest, and they couldn't sleep for a while.
