The Queen Mother and Xue Yinong gossiped, but they glanced at Xiaodouzi, and said, "It's not too early, you should clean up and prepare to leave." ”

Of course, Xue Yinong said yes, and then got up to say goodbye.

Xiaodouzi received the queen mother's will, and first reported to Yinxiayuan, talking about how the queen mother persuaded the emperor to let He Meiren go out for a walk, "He Meiren, the queen mother is really well-intentioned to you, you should take advantage of this opportunity." ”

He Sixian was naturally very happy, she was about to go crazy in the house, "Thank you, father-in-law, please tell Aunt Sù, and say I know." As he spoke, he turned around and shouted, "Peony." Peony immediately took a gold ingot and handed it to Xiaodouzi, He Sixian said: "Please also ask my father-in-law to smile." ”

Xiaodouzi said with a smile: "He Meiren is so polite, you are in a difficult time, but you can still think of our family, rest assured, the Queen Mother has our family here, and you will not be at a loss." ”

He Sixian was blessed, "Thank you, father-in-law." "Xiaodouzi finished the decree and went to the queen again. only said that He Sixian was temporarily free, even if it was a day, it would be good, and immediately called Peony and Peony to come over and dress her up, "It's not too early, you guys move faster." ”

I haven't gone out for so many days, I must find a way to ask for forgiveness when I see the emperor this time, and I must take advantage of this opportunity. Although she was very dissatisfied with Xue Yinong, and even hated Xu Shutong, that woman had already taken a step ahead of her and promoted Ronghua.

She gritted her teeth here, and a palace maid outside hurriedly entered the door and was scolded by He Sixian.

"I'm in a hurry, and I'm not sure at all."

The palace maid was also very aggrieved by her, and whispered: "Yes, the beauty teaches us." ”

"What the hell is going on?"

"If you return to the beauty, the emperor will raise Xiao Mei's name to Xiao Ronghua, and all the rewards will be the same as Xu Ronghua."

He Sixian's face was still like a wave of spring water, and her good mood was ruined with just one sentence, was Xue Yinong deliberately angry with her?

Xiao Meiren's woman is quiet and quiet, and she doesn't dazzle her eyes very much, how did she suddenly fall into the eyes of the emperor, Li Tong still had some news before, and she has been quiet these days.

When He Sixian was thinking, he used his strength in his hand, and a hairpin was pinched off by her.

These women are really looking for opportunities to climb up. But it doesn't matter, she's out now, even if it's just for a day, and she's going to give them some hardship.

Especially Xu Shutong.

Wen The ladies in the palace wanted to go to Lingquan Temple to pray for blessings, and Xu Shutong was not exempt, and she knew in her heart that if she didn't go, what else would there be to sing in this scene.

It is said that Lingquan Temple is the most spiritual, and women from near and far flock to it. And the Queen Mother's move was intended to mock her for having no children?

Xu Shutong dressed up, and the sedan chair had already arrived. was about to bow his head and enter, but he saw Qiu Ci running over, waving his hand, asking her to stop.

Xu Shutong stood and waited for her to come over, Qiu Ci said concisely, "Little master, Xiao Meiren has been promoted, and He Meiren has also received the queen mother's favor and can drive out of the palace." ”

For the first thing, Xu Shutong was not surprised, because she quickly understood what Xue Yinong meant, not only to solve the problem of the heir, but also to erect a shield for her, that person was also very caring.

Everyone has been promoted, and everyone else has nothing to say, and they always feel that it is just a matter of priority.

It is natural for the Queen Mother to be anxious, this He beauty has been grounded for less than two months, and after four months, the rest of them have been promoted to concubines, this He Sixian is still a beauty, not a short of others, it is a lot, sometimes the distance can be made up, sometimes the distance can not be made up even if it takes a lot of effort to eat.

Don't lose at the starting line.

Xu Shutong just smiled, "With such good weather and such a thing, there are many people to be lively!" And she took it to heart. This time, I regret to go out with me, there is autumn porcelain guarding the house, if there is such a good thing next time, it will naturally have to be replaced, everyone is suffocated. Xu Shutong got on the sedan chair.

The queen mother's sedan chair had already left the palace gate, and they met with the queen mother, and the two sisters met and greeted each other. The queen mother saw that her sister's words were weak, and her face was not very good, her eyes looked at the group of red and willow green goblins behind her, sighed, and comforted: "Sister has to relax, it is normal for men to have three wives and four concubines." You don't know how many women have been envied and jealous, and even the mourning family used to envy you! "Although she is the queen mother, but what she has experienced, those enemies in the past, there are really a lot, where is there such a worry-free sister of her own, the Sujin Imperial Mansion is this one, "This time you want to take a concubine for the emperor, why are you depressed." ”

She also knows that she is willing, but her heart is inevitably a little blocked. Xue Dingshan has been soaked in these young people these days, and the two of them just said a few polite words in vain, which was much more rusty than before, and she felt very uncomfortable.

How happy I was before, how lonely I am now.

"Sister, did you say I did something wrong?"

"Does right and wrong matter that much? The important thing is that you do it, you do it. It's not up to you and me to decide whether it's good or bad, as long as the emperor is happy, add a few younger brothers and sisters to the emperor, and save him from being lonely. ”

As long as you please some people, no matter how beautiful those young people are, in the end, it will always be you who stays by their side!

Empress Dowager He was relieved and reluctantly smiled, "Sister is right, I am too reluctant to myself, and the matter has come to this point, so I have to do this." Leading a group of people into the sedan chair, the Imperial Forest Army had already lined up all the way to open the way for the masters in the palace.

The palace maids and eunuchs crowded and squeezed a few streets, and they all walked far in front, and they didn't have time to keep up behind.

Those who follow are still okay with others. When Li Tong came out, the whole person was like a bird flying out of a cage, lifting the curtain, looking around, and constantly greeting people.

Some of the people recognized her and shouted, "Miss Li." "And the girl in the general's mansion, she was happy to see her.

I wanted to come and talk to her, but the roadside was blocked by the Royal Foresters, and no one was allowed to pass. Squeezing around in the crowd and shouting a few words.

Jianshui glanced at Li Tong and reminded: "Little master, you should pay attention to your words and deeds, you are no longer the lady of the General's Mansion, but the emperor's concubine." ”

"Cut the water, you don't always have to be so strict, okay? It's hard to come out and play once, and you can't let me say a good word. Li Tong is pitiful, she has been tortured by the cut water recently, counting Buddha rice every day, and the cut water said that this is to open her mind and cultivate herself from small things.

She doesn't want to become a nun and recite Amitabha.

But the cut water said, the queen mother is good at this, let her also follow the study, maybe one day she can use it. Li Tong couldn't understand it at all, but the cut water was a girl given to her by her mother, and she couldn't be disobedient.

Without the cuts, there are no double pupils, and without double pupils, her mother will always find a way to stuff people around her.

Jianshui said coldly: "No." "Everyone is quiet, it's so fun here, if it reaches the ears of the Queen Mother, I'm afraid that it will make a fuss about it. Last time, the little master of her family did not drill the trap of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother has not moved, but there is no excuse, if she sends it herself, it will be no wonder.

The plan to cut the water had to be far-reaching, and the general's wife sent herself to Li Tong's side to protect her. The little master of her family is not suitable for living in the palace at all, and her temperament is as simple as this, what if she is taken advantage of?

Li Tong was cut and said a few words, but he still refused to retract his head, and the whole person was wilted and crouched at the window.

Suddenly, a person approached on horseback, glanced at her, and said happily, "Sister Tong." ”

Li Tong looked at it, his eyes lit up, his waist straightened, and asked, "Why are you?" She stuck her head out and looked back and forth, "Brother Meng has also joined the Royal Forest Army?" "This Meng Sui is the son of her father's deputy general Meng, the relationship between the two families has always been good, and Li Yi intended to marry Li Tong to Mengfu before.

How do you know that as soon as the decree of the draft comes out, all single women of appropriate age are not allowed to be matched at will, and Li Tong has not escaped. This time we met, in the end, the identities were different.

Meng Sui smiled and said, "Yes, it was the chief of the guard who asked me to join. Li Tong understood that the chief guard was her brother, "It is really an honor for Weichen to be able to escort the little master on this trip." He thought he would never see Li Tong again in his life.

Seeing each other again, Li Tong is no different from the past, and he is still very aggressive. It's just that when his smile blooms to the maximum, he always feels that a pair of eyes are staring at him coldly.

Needless to say, it is with the shearing of the sedan chair.

Meng Sui was very embarrassed, touched his neck on the horse, and couldn't think of when he offended Jianshui, this girl didn't have a good face every time she saw herself, as long as she got close to Li Tong, she immediately felt cold like an iceberg.

"Meng Gongzi also asks you to pay attention to your title, the little lord is now the emperor's concubine, what is Sister Tong's, don't call it again in the future, so as not to make people misunderstand." As soon as the water cut was reminded, Meng Sui noticed that Li Tong had already changed the woman's bun, and he was no longer the original Li Tong.

Li Tong disagreed, "Don't scare Brother Meng by cutting the water, he didn't mean that." ”

"Little master, what does Meng Gongzi mean, the slave doesn't need to understand, the little master just needs to remember one thing, your current identity is not as good as before, and there are many people here, so no one is allowed to see it, just say any rumors, and it will be bad for the emperor to misunderstand."

At the mention of Xue Yinong, Li Tong was a little angry, "Don't mention him to me." But her head obediently shrank into the sedan chair, cut the water and lowered the curtain, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she knew that as long as she lifted out the emperor, her little master would be obedient.

Meng Sui's cheeks turned red when he heard this, and now that Li Tong has the emperor in his heart, then he ...... It's better to break the thoughts in your heart! I couldn't help sighing, I just wanted to establish a reputation, so that I was worthy of the lady of the General's Mansion, who knows, it was wrong.

Jian Shui seemed to understand the meaning in his heart, and persuaded: "Meng Gongzi has a bright future, I believe that there will be a better woman to match you, and the matter of the little master will end here." ”

Meng then urged the horse to go, escorting the concubines all the way.

Of course, no one heard him talking here, but someone noticed such a conspicuous appearance.

For example, He Sixian in the sedan chair behind Li Tong, she saw this situation by chance, but she smiled sweetly and had an idea in her heart.

The sedan chair went all the way to Lingquan Temple, and it took a few hours on the road, and it was almost noon when I arrived. Although the sun in early summer is not very hot, the face of the sedan chair is covered with sweat.

When I arrived at the Lingquan Temple, there were many steps to walk, and I was sincere. The Queen Mother got off the sedan chair, and He Sixian in the back also arrived, walked to the front diligently, helped the Queen Mother's arm, and said, "Aunt the Queen Mother, be careful, I will help you." ”

The Queen Mother smiled at her, "You kid has a heart." Seeing that He Sixian's head was full of pearls and emeralds, and the makeup on his face was also carefully put on, without the slightest hint of decadence, the Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction. Even if you are dissatisfied with the emperor in your heart, it is always pleasant to dress yourself up beautifully on a happy day.

He Sixian helped the Queen Mother to walk in front. Empress Dowager He glanced at He Sixian, and the queen had already walked over, "Queen Mother, son-in-law help you." ”

Empress Dowager He smiled, "No, you just walk slowly with the palace." The concubines of the Sujin Imperial Mansion followed behind, and there were girls to support them.

Xue Yinong and Xu Shutong together, "The scenery outside is good, I am bored in the palace all day long, and my mood is going to be moldy, so everyone must often go out for a walk and outing in the future." ”

Before Xu Shutong could speak, Li Tong said: "It's the emperor, I'm about to suffocate to death!" ”

Xue Yinong looked at her with a smile, cutting water and constantly pulling her sleeves. Her little master is also a little scruple when she speaks, when will this 'me, me, me' be changed, Xue Yinong doesn't blame her, Li Tong is originally a very lively character, and the palace is really not suitable for her.

"Then you're going to have a great time today."

Li Tong hugged his fists and said, "Obey." ”

"Huh."

Xue Yinong and Li Tong were joking, Xu Shutong was on their side, listening to their jokes, I wanted to say a few words to Xue Yinong, but now I didn't know how to speak, and I couldn't help but be stunned.

He was quite dissatisfied with Xue Yinong only talking to Li Tong, and he was very angry, but the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, "Your Majesty, I'm hungry, so I went up first." ”

After speaking, he quickened his pace. Xue Yinong was stunned for a moment, narrowed his eyes, and then quickly chased after him. "Shutong, I'm hungry too." When she said it, she actually laughed, and it poked Xu Shutong's heart even more. Xu Shutong was about to ignore her, but Xue Yinong had already grabbed her hand, "What are you running, can you still run in the palm of my hand?" I just said a few words to Li Meiren, you are so jealous, how can you get it in the future. ”

"Hmph, the emperor is fine. It's because I can't do anything and has nothing to do with the emperor. ”

"You see, you're duplicitous again. I haven't seen you all night, and I haven't even slept well. Saying that, he pointed his finger at the dark circles under his eyes that he didn't have at all, Xu Shutong snorted, glanced at it, and realized that he had been fooled, and ignored her even more.

"I know that if I lie, I don't know that I will feel distressed?"

"Not really! People are tossing and turning, turning and turning, and their heads are all you, the left one is you, and the right one is you......"

Xu Shutong said unbelievably: "It will be sweet." A smile was already on his lips. Xue Yinong raised his eyebrows and exhaled, Woman, woman, your name is 'duplicity'.

The two happily went up and left Li Tong behind. She sighed in a lengthened tone: "It's still Sister Xu who is charming." ”

Jianshui said coldly: "This is called 'silent is better than sound', the little master learns a little." ”

"Oh! The scissors are all out, so don't bend your face, come, give me a smile. Li Tong pulled his face with his hand.

Scarlet couldn't laugh either, "It's not cute at all." Then he looked away, hiding the discomfort in his heart. Li Tong shook his arm and coquettishly with her.

"Who do you say is not cute, and you have the ability to say it again...... Hmph, my fists are unforgiving. Li Tong was chattering, and Nanfeng Jin in the back watched coldly. Then his gaze crossed over to Li Tong in front of him and looked at Xue Yinong and Xu Shutong.

Her message has been sent back to the Jingjing Palace, I don't know if the Jingjing King has received it. Looking at those two people, I always felt that the sun was extremely dazzling.

Xue Qingqiu received Nanfeng Jin's letter, and after reading it, his face was as white as snow and as solemn as frost. The results of this draft were unexpected, and the women he used all went to Xue Dingshan.

He almost slapped his palm on his forehead, how could there be such an unlucky thing in this world, none of them were chosen. On the contrary, it was Xue Qingzhu, the third prince, who sent his favorite concubine over, and just one of them was selected.

Dog blood, too dog blood.

Times are not in my favor! Xue Qingqiu didn't expect such a result. However, when those people arrived at Xue Dingshan, it was not all bad, as soon as the wind blew on the pillow, Xue Yinong couldn't eat, so he walked around.

However, Nan Fengjin's letter then said that Xu Shutong had been named Ronghua, and the implication here could make Xue Qingqiu very unhappy.

The face is not only solemn, but it is as black as the bottom of the pot. Xu Shutong betrayed him, he completely forgot that Xu Shutong was involuntary in the palace, or rather, he used to wish Xu Shutong could be favored, but when he came back this time, he slightly discovered his feelings for Xu Shutong.

"Why did she betray me? It's been a long time since I wrote to me. ”

Staff Xu stood in the room, looking at Xue Qingqiu's chaotic appearance, the undisguised hatred and jealousy made his heart flutter a few times, and his sense of uneasiness intensified.

He couldn't let Xue Qingqiu's feelings fall on Xu Shutong's head, otherwise his sister would not be sacrificed in vain.

Staff Xu stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, what happened to make you so unhappy?" ”

"Some in the palace."

"Is it Xu Shutong? It's been a long time since she's had anyone hear from her. Lord, do you say, will she take refuge in the emperor? "If that's the case, it's really great, at least you can stop Xue Qingqiu's thoughts." You know that women have no ideals, they just have profit and wisdom, in case the emperor gives her a little sweetness, like waiting to give birth to a prince and become a prince or something, why do you say she should take the risk of participating in our big things? Si'an is everyone's wish, not a saying that would rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled world. ”

Xue Qingqiu was moved by his words, because if he was Xue Yinong, he would really do this, and he would also use Xu Shutong to deal with himself.

Not good, very bad. But he didn't want to think of Xu Shutong so frivolous, "She has been loyal to me for so many years, and she won't do anything because of a Xue Yinong, Mr. Xu had better not doubt her, as the saying goes: don't doubt people, don't suspect people." I cultivated her so hard, why did she betray me? I have redressed her family's grievances. ”

Xu's staff said in his heart: "You really have the face to say, the affairs of the Xu family are not all planned by you, you want to get rid of General Xu, the thorn in the eye, and completely control the military power here, now not only destroy the Xu family, but also use other people's daughters, but also want Xu Shutong to remember your kindness, if one day, Xu Shutong knows the truth, he thinks that woman must kill Xue Qingqiu." ”

Xu's staff said yes, "What the prince said is right, it's just a woman's heart, and she has been away from here for many years, people will change, especially when she is not under her nose, we don't know her specific situation, maybe she wants to take the opportunity to let the prince find her sister, and when she finds someone, she plans to cross the river and tear down the bridge and sell it in front of the new emperor." ”

The words of Xu's staff made Xue Qingqiu quite jealous. He said: "In this way, you write a letter to inform Nanfeng Jin and ask her to come forward to remind Shutong." ”

In the end, he was still moved by his words, "Is the prince going to expose Nanfeng Jin now?" ”

"It's just a reminder to remind Shutong, okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let the people on the Emperor's side step up a little bit, why do I think that old man has lived too long!"

Now that he has gained grace, there is always a chance to assassinate him, but without this move, it is the best, and he does not want to be exposed to everyone.

And said that everyone climbed to the top of the mountain, outside the temple, the unstupid host led the deacons of each room to greet them, and when they saw the queen mother coming, they came up and recited 'Amitabha Buddha', "The old man has seen the queen mother." ”

"Host quickly and excuse me." The Queen Mother replied, not stupid and waited for the crowd to see others, and then entered the main hall and led everyone to visit the Buddha statue.

The fragrance in the hall is curling, but it does not choke the nose. In the huge hall, except for the disciples of the temple, there is not a single pilgrim.

The little novice in the dining room came over and greeted the host, "Master, are you eating?" ”

Don't be stupid to ask the Queen Mother for advice, "Queen Mother, what do you think?" ”

"It's okay, we left late, and it has taken most of the morning to come here, so I'll arrange some side rooms for them to live in temporarily, and I'll talk about anything after lunch."

Don't be stupid and hurriedly let people lead the Queen Mother, Empress Dowager He and others to the wing room, Xue Yinong all the way, Yu Shiyou and others all the way. Xue Yinong had been with Xu Shutong before, but now they had to separate, so they could only send each other a ride silently with their eyes.

The deacon led the people over, but it was a courtyard house, with many houses, and it was very spacious, not only enough for the masters to live, but also for the palace maids and eunuchs to eat.

It's just that there are many houses here, but how to divide it, the deacon can't decide for a while, and let the concubines take it themselves.

Needless to say, the main house is hers. Yu Shiyou smiled and took it, "The palace will go over first, sisters, please." ”
