The old lady of the Duke of Guo had a little opinion in her heart, after all, she had been majestic all her life, but she wanted her granddaughter to eat such a suffocation at this time, and she was not happy to see it in front of her.

"Have you been wronged in the palace? No matter what you say, ask your Queen Mother to make decisions for you. ”

He Sixian said: "Old lady, don't guess, there is nothing." But the tone was extremely aggrieved and suspicious. Xue Yinong just looked at it coldly, with the usual kind of joy on her face, this He Sixian wanted to sue in front of her parents, hehe, she has the ability to say it!

"It's good if you don't have it. By the way, what about the gradual departure? I haven't seen her since the last time we met. The old lady of the Duke asked the Empress Dowager He.

Empress Dowager He replied: "Tell my mother, I am not in the palace, so I can't come to see you in time." ”

"Where did it go? Why is she still not at home, this is not good! How can a girl's heart be wild like this, you are failing to discipline. It's better to let her get married as soon as possible, settle the marriage, start a family as soon as possible, and become a mother. ”

Empress Dowager He just understood that yes. But she also understood a little in her heart, and said in her heart: "Mother led her nephew into the door today, didn't she want to say kiss to them?" She was not easy to refuse, for fear that the old lady would be unhappy, but it was not entirely appropriate to come down.

She is a well-behaved person, following her father at home, marrying her husband, and now Xue Dingshan is still alive and well, and she has discussed with her the candidate for Xue Wan's divorce, which means that she wants to take another one, and the sons and nephews of the Guogong Mansion are a little unreasonable, and they can't be Xue Yinong's arms.

The old lady of the Duke of Guo saw that the Empress Dowager He said yes, but she did not participate, thinking that her daughter was afraid that she would not be willing to do this good thing.

As the saying goes: fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders. Wouldn't it be nice to have your own family to help you? The grandchildren are still young and ignorant, but as long as people are willing to teach them a little, they are not completely unmanufacturable, and she has to fight for them.

"What do you mean?"

"What my mother said is that it is not too small to gradually leave, I have already talked to the Emperor Taishang and them about this, and the Emperor is in charge." She pushed this problem to Xue Dingshan, but Xue Dingshan was not the one who liked to sell face. In this way, her mother couldn't embarrass her, afraid that her mother's face would be ugly, so she added a few words, "The emperor has already drawn up a candidate, and when the time comes, I will talk about it when I come back. ”

The old lady of the Duke is satisfied, this is not the intention of refusing the family, although it is very tactful.

Xue Yinong was also on the spot, and interrupted: "What kind of foolish words did the queen mother say, she should be in charge of the gradual departure, she is such a big girl, can't she even choose what kind of person she likes?" ”

She doesn't like this kind of ambiguous words, and wants to fight Xue Wanli's idea, unless she passes this level.

When the old lady of the Duke of Guo heard this, she immediately frowned, "Your Majesty, are you dissatisfied with me?" ”

"I didn't, it's just that the old lady said something wrong, so I have to correct it."

"Could it be that she was wronged by gradually marrying into the Guogong Mansion?"

"That's true."

The old lady of Guogong changed color, she couldn't imagine that Xue Yinong was so arrogant, and even on the New Year, she still spoke a tact, but she hadn't seen her for more than half a year, and she seemed to have changed her tone.

"What do you mean?"

"It's not that I speak ill of my cousins, they can't be civilized, and they can't be protected, as I said before. I don't want my grandmother to repeat the old words, and put my unfilial children and grandchildren on the body of the gradual departure, and I am unhappy for the gradual separation, shouldn't I be wronged? I am her royal brother, and she is no longer in her own right. The queen mother should not have deceived her grandmother, so that the old man was looking forward to it in his heart, but in the end he was lost, his face was good-looking, and his heart was ugly. ”

Empress Dowager He didn't want her to say her thoughts like this, and her face was a little unnatural. The old lady of Guogong's face was not good, and the two grandsons standing beside her also looked at Xue Yinong with hateful eyes, but because they were all elders here who were not easy to speak, Xue Yinong's identity was noble and difficult to contradict, but she hated her in her heart without saving half face.

The old lady of the Duke asked the Empress Dowager He, "Do you really want to lie to me?" ”

"I ......," she couldn't think of for a moment.

"Hmph, needless to say, I understand. Since she is gone, the emperor doesn't have to speak on her behalf, what will happen when she comes back, where has she gone? ”

Xue Yinong was about to answer, but Ren's father-in-law came in and told him that there was something urgent to deal with and asked the emperor to go quickly, so Xue Yinong had no choice but to leave.

Xue Yinong was gone, and the old lady of Guogong was also dissatisfied to the extreme, and she reprimanded the Empress Dowager He, "Look at how you teach your children, even if he is the emperor, he can't be so rude to his elders." ”

Empress Dowager He secretly sighed ashamed.

The old lady felt that she couldn't stay here, so she wanted to go back, and the queen mother stayed hard. "It's hard for my mother to come to the palace, it's all my mother-daughter affection, why bother going back so quickly."

"I was happy to come, but now I am disappointed, and no one is welcome here."

"How so? The mother came, and the daughter was too late to be happy. "The queen mother stayed again and again, and the old lady of the country stayed, but the two grandsons were also very angry.

said to the Queen Mother: "The emperor's cousin is also rude. ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "He is this character, even the mourning family has suffered a lot of losses from him in the palace, he is a young man, are we old people embarrassed to worry about him?" He will also be a parent sooner or later, as the saying goes: the only way to raise a child is to know the kindness of his parents, don't rush to talk about him first. ”

When the old lady Guogong heard this, she felt that she didn't know much about this nephew, and even the eldest daughter was deflated, which showed that Xue Yinong didn't care about anyone.

He asked again, "I also heard that a concubine is pregnant." ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "Exactly, the two of you!" ”

The old lady of Guogong glanced at He Sixian, He Sixian secretly sighed ashamed, she hadn't even seen Xue Yinong's face a few times, she had been locked up, where did the 'good news' come from.

"Who are they?"

"One is Xiao Jieyu and the other is Xu Jieyu."

"Oh, that's a good dare. It's just that he has a good marriage, but he doesn't allow his sister to have it, I really can't figure it out, and every time I ask him, I push him back. ”

The Queen Mother said: "He doesn't know anything, it's still a child's family." Mother, don't take his foolish words to heart, or you will be angry. The old lady nodded. The mourners wondered, is our method wrong? You also know that the emperor has a sister, this love is stronger than others, his sisters are much older than him, only this sister was born a little later, the relationship between them is naturally good and jealous, and they are twins, not better than others, the mourning family thinks that there is reluctance, but it is good to have someone to enlighten him. ”

The old lady said: "It makes sense for you to say this, it turns out that he is reluctant, and it is not in vain that he is born like this as a brother, and he should have such a manly style." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded.

He Sixian saw the opportunity and said: "If you want to talk about a person who persuades, but others can't, you need Xu Jieyu, so that this thing can be successful." ”

Yu Shiyou looked sideways slightly, this He Sixian wanted to throw this trouble to Xu Shutong. But in the end, it's none of her business, so she just settles down and lets them do whatever they say.

The Queen Mother said: "Exactly." ”

The old lady of the Duke of Guo was strange, "Which is this Xu Jieyu?" is so powerful, even the emperor listens to her. ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "Mother doesn't know, this man's favorite words are not the words of the elders." There is a saying that when you have a wife, you forget your mother. Has Mother Forgotten Jì? is generally like this, Xu Jieyu is very favored by the emperor, she says a word, more than you and me, a hundred sentences are effective, as long as she moves her, it is possible. ”

Seeing such a miracle, the old lady of the Duke of Guo said 'tsk' continuously. The eldest grandson next to him said: "Isn't she the demon girl who caused the early death of the emperor's brother, why is she still in the palace?" His brows were furrowed so tightly, and he felt that Xu Shutong was not a good woman.

The old lady asked, "Is that so?" The Queen Mother sighed, which was a tacit acquiescence. The old lady asked the Empress Dowager He again, "Why do you want such a person to stay by the emperor's side, it's strange that the emperor will become like this, but he used to see him in a good manner, it turned out that someone was secretly making him bad, how can you let such a person be by his side and pollute him." ”

"This is Yi Nong's idea, the child is older and has her own ideas, not to mention that she is the emperor, if she can't even do this little thing, what else will she be the emperor!"

"You're pampering."

Empress Dowager He was silent, anyway, as long as she believed in Yinong, it would be fine. That Xu Shutong is also very good in her opinion, she doesn't mind her identity as a woman, and she takes good care of her, and now the two have children again.

What else could she expect?

Even if it is connivance, it is the best connivance.

The old lady said: "In this case, I have to meet her, I want to see what she is capable of, so that my eldest nephew can't find the direction, and the little nephew becomes like this." ”

The Queen Mother announced her decree on the spot and asked Xiaodouzi to invite Xu Shutong, "Just say the words of the mourning family, let her come here quickly, the old lady wants to see her." ”

"Yes." Xiaodouzi retreated and went to find Xu Shutong, and they said something else to themselves.

He Sixian had been watching this qiē from the sidelines, and laughed coldly on the side. Xin said: "Xu Shutong, I can't help you, can't others help you?" She sneered to herself, caught a glimpse of Yu Shiyou looking at her, gave a smile and put her face away. The heart said: "Look at what to see, silly fork." ”

Yu Shiyou retracted her smile and waited for the situation to happen, but unfortunately she had to sit here all the time and not report a letter to Xu Shutong.

Let's say that Xiaodouzi went to the Rejuvenation Garden and announced the Queen Mother's decree. Xu Shutong thanked the grace, and she was about to go, but before she went, she casually stuffed Xiaodouzi with a piece of gold and asked, "I don't know if my father-in-law knows why the Queen Mother suddenly summoned her concubines?" ”

"In order to gradually leave the princess, Niangniang doesn't know yet, it is He Meiren who asked you to do the emperor's ideological work, and asked him to agree to gradually leave the princess to marry the princess."

So that's the case, she smiled: "Thank you father-in-law for mentioning it." "It turned out that He Sixian wanted to find something to do for herself, but she didn't look for her, but she came to find herself, you don't mess with people, people mess with you.

Since she came to the door by herself, she will accept it all.

Xu Shutong learned what happened from Xiaodouzi, even if she knew that someone was going to trap her, she couldn't help but go.

Cun Cun was full of sadness, wishing she could find a reason to push it away.

"It's a pity that you are so sad and sad that you don't go with me." This is the meaning of not regretting the rescue soldiers, but regretting but not understanding.

"Mother, you ......"

Xu Shutong smiled, "I have my own opinions, don't worry." ”

Regret but rest assured, but you can't let go, you have to go with Xu Shutong, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, it is better to have someone to be a companion than a person.

Nothing to say along the way.

When he arrived at the Yangxi Palace, Xiaodouzi went to return first, and then came out to call Xu Shutong in, Xu Shutong said, "Thank you." "I went in with a pity, and saw a room of people, including the old lady of the country, and two young descendants, the queen mother, the queen mother, the queen, He Sixian was also there, and the palace maids and eunuchs crowded a room, so it was not lively.

Xu Shutong glanced at it quickly, and greeted everyone one by one, and it was not rude. The two descendants also hugged their fists, "I've seen Xu Jieyu." ”

And He Sixian said so. Because of her low status, she has to be courteous, although she is not convinced, everyone is there, and there is nothing to do.

The old lady of the Duke of Guo sat on the top, with a pair of old eyes to see clearly, this Xu Shutong is too beautiful, no wonder the two nephews are so infatuated, what are the three outlines and five constants, in the hands of such a woman, what do you care.

First of all, you have to send a fire and give a dismount. I just thought that I had something to ask for someone, and it was not good to spoil the feelings, so an infinite smile appeared on my face, "Is it Xu Jieyu?" The old body has met. ”

She was originally a minister, and she should also bow when she saw Xu Shutong. It's just that the identity is special, and the grade is above Xu Shutong, and he is an elder, which is not a serious occasion, so he will answer slightly.

"The concubine has seen the old lady of the country."

"You're neatly grown, no wonder the emperor likes you so much."

"Back to the old lady, the emperor treats the harem sisters equally, everyone is the same."

The old lady said: "You don't have to be modest, the old body knows it, the emperor likes you, I hate the whole world to know about it!" The old body has also heard about you. ”

Xu Shutong saw that the old lady had a lot of foreshadowing and a lot of compliments, and this important thing was just to come.

The Queen Mother said: "I called you over today, but I have something to tell you, and I ask you not to refuse." ”

"Yes, the queen mother has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, the concubines have something to do, naturally dedicated, if not, even if they agree, it will be disappointing. The queen mother just said it and let the concubines know, if it is feasible, it will be done, and if it is not feasible, there is no way. ”

She knew that these people couldn't hold their breath.

The Queen Mother said bluntly: "There is something but you have to do it." We are talking about the marriage of the five princesses, but the emperor insists on his own opinion, not to obey, we know that he is reluctant to his sister, but the man should marry, the woman should marry, he has already chosen his lover, how can he stop his sister's marriage. Therefore I want you to persuade him. ”

Xu Shutong refused to take this hot potato, which was clearly asking her to offend Xue Yinong, and she couldn't please both ends, where would she be willing to do it. This is He Sixian's bad idea, to give her a hard time.

She said: "The queen mother's words are wrong, if you want to persuade the emperor to do this, but it shouldn't be the turn of the concubines to do it, there are the queen mother, the queen mother, and the father, and there is also the queen, no matter what, the concubines shouldn't say it, this is unreasonable." ”

She wants to refuse, where will everyone be willing.

"If we had done it and done it a long time ago, we would have let you come forward because we knew it was useless. This divorced marriage is also a royal event, you are her sister-in-law, and you should contribute no matter what. ”

Xu Shutong couldn't push it in every possible way, so he thought of another strategy. Knowing that it is useless to be strong, but it is not a lot of fall, she said: "What the Queen Mother said is also true, the concubine will do her best, but when the fifth princess of Su Ri was there, she chatted with her often, and also said this section, the concubine asked her what kind of person she would marry in the future, and she also said it." ”

"Oh, what she said, you might as well say it, and we'll be right."

"Yes." When the paragraph comes, "This is the first thing to be dignified, the same age, and the family background match." ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "It should be like this." ”

"The Queen Mother is not in a hurry, there is something to say later. The fifth princess just wants to find someone who is a little older than herself, and she would rather be older for a day, not a day less, an hour less, a minute less, and a second less. The Queen Mother also needs to know that the girl's family always wants to find a more stable one. ”

The Queen Mother also said yes, but she has several nephews, all of whom are the same age as Xue Wanli, and some are older, so they say it's okay and keep talking.

"This second, either literary or martial, has a skill."

The Queen Mother said: "This also makes." He thought: "My nephews are not good at martial arts, but I hope the liberal arts are okay, but I can read a few words and read a few books, but I am not afraid." ”

Xu Shutong added: "There is another rule here, either civil or martial arts must be stronger than the fifth princess herself. ”

The Queen Mother was a little stunned, and Xue gradually left the text unclear, but Wu's, she couldn't hold it back, she said, "Besides." ”

"The third is simple, that is, to have an official position, you can't marry Baiyi, it's not good to spread out, and you don't have a career, girls always want to have something to rely on."

These requirements are not tricky, but the sons of the national government are either owed this or that one, "these three things are not enough." ”

The old lady of the Duke listened for a long time, and she was unhappy, is there any hope for this grandson? Isn't it that Xue Yinong and Xu Shutong have already discussed it, and they want to mention it in a hurry, where is there time to discuss.

She said: "These three conditions are not difficult, but the young is not as old as the old, and it is impossible to meet all the conditions at once, and it is not impossible to do it in the future, but it will take some time." ”

Her meaning is clear: you can do it if you work hard, you don't have to do it right away.

Xu Shutong said: "Yes." Without these three conditions, it would be difficult for the concubines to open their mouths to the emperor. But it's not that there is no room for turnaround, it's just that I have to ask He Meiren for help. ”

He Sixian looked at her strangely, and said in his heart: "What does Xu Shutong want, don't you want to yin me?" ”

Xu Shutong was looked at strangely by He Sixian, but he didn't know, but he was still smiling and sincere, "Without He Meiren's help, even if the concubine wants to have a wider range of conditions, the power of one person, I am afraid that things will not be done well, but it will be self-defeating." ”

The Queen Mother said: "Why do you say this? ”

"Yes, the concubine means to ask He Meiren to sing a white face, the concubine is not talented, sing a red face, let the emperor weigh the left and right, if you insist on going your own way, I am afraid that it will not achieve the effect, but I feel that the concubine is here to be a lobbyist, and I will not agree anymore."

He Sixian naturally refused, telling her to sing with a white face, why! Why did she He Sixian want to be a bad person in front of others, she said that Xu Shutong was not well-intentioned, and sure enough.

"I don't agree, why don't you sing white face, to ask me to sing, it's obviously a bully to me."

Xu Shutong said: "Even if He Meiren is unwilling, let's change it, but I can't do my best, so I have to be a villain, beat the side drum, and the rest of He Meiren will do his best." ”

Of course, He Sixian is willing to take all the benefits, but she also understands that Xu Shutong will be so easy to speak? She didn't believe it.

Xu Shutong naturally wanted to explain her doubts. "Everyone should also know that the concubine is pregnant, I am afraid that I will not be able to serve the emperor these days, there must be someone around the emperor, as the saying goes: the old love is not as good as the new love, if someone says a word by the emperor's side at this time, it will work to keep it than the concubine to say ten words......"

Her words speak for themselves, Xue Yinong is not only pregnant, but also to spoil the remaining beauties, if there is He Sixian here.

The old lady and the queen mother also seem to have thought of something, compared to Xu Shutong, of course, they have to use it more than their own people.

The Queen Mother smiled: "What you said is reasonable, this matter is so decided, Sixian, you and Xu Jieyu cooperate to finish this matter, this is also your credit." ”

He Sixian didn't want to agree, but the Queen Mother had already spoken. The old lady of the Duke of Guo expected it again, and her brother looked at her like this, so she had to bite the bullet and continue.

Each of them rejoiced, but she was sad.

Xu Shutong didn't forget to add fuel to the fire, "The concubine will wait for good news early and congratulate the beauty on her success." ”

He Sixian was even more depressed.

There was nothing to do, Xu Shutong retreated, and the He family was left to speak by themselves.

After Xu Shutong left, the old lady of Guogong said: "I don't like Xu Jieyu very much, I always feel that this woman is too beautiful, isn't it Su Daji and Bao Xi in ancient times, but listening to her say these two words, she is also a person who understands current affairs, so it's okay." Sixian, you have to seize the opportunity this time. "Don't embarrass her anymore, play any scheming, steal chickens and rice, "Serve the emperor well." ”

He Sixian said, "Yes." She herself felt that Xu Shutong was not well-intentioned, but what she said made sense, Xue Yinong will not be empty forever, she always has to find someone to accompany her, she has to seize the opportunity to catch up this time.

The field was relieved, proud, and expectant, only Yu Shiyou watched coldly, understanding that what Xu Shutong said was empty words, this is a trap, as far as she knows, Xue Yinong once told her that except for Xu Shutong, he is unwilling to ask for others, Xiao Fang's matter is an exception, looking at Xu Shutong's movements, you should also know that there must be cats in it, of course, these have nothing to do with her, why should she say it.

Today, He Sixian designed Xu Shutong first, and Xu Shutong pulled her into the water later, it doesn't matter who is better.

Like a bodhisattva, just sit still, and don't want to worry about anything at all.

only said that Xu Shutong left far away, and only dared to speak only when he was sorry. She didn't know something, and she was very sad to hold it in her heart. "Niangniang, do you really want the emperor to favor others?"

She knew that since Xu Shutong met Xue Yinong, her tolerance for others was very small, much smaller than the tip of a needle, and it was not for nothing to be jealous for a little thing, and now she is so generous, there must be something wrong.
