Xiaodouzi should go, braved the cold, inquired for a while, came to talk back, and said: "If you go back to the Queen Mother, you will be in the Splendid Palace...... Here it comes...... came ......" He knew that the Queen Mother hated Xu Shutong the most, so he didn't dare to report her name, and he was hesitant.

The Queen Mother urged: "You are here, who is it?" ”

"Xu Guifei, no, Xu Shutong."

Seeing that the Queen Mother's face changed greatly, "That goblin is here again?" What did she come to do? ”

"I said that I gave the emperor some gifts, and I planned to live here for a while, but the emperor agreed, so I let her live in the Splendid Palace, in the same room as Banzai, just outside the collapse."

Xiaodouzi felt that her back was sweating.

Xiaodouzi knew that the Queen Mother was eager to slap the table away as soon as she mentioned Xu Shutong, but now she lowered her head and listened to the movements on all sides, only feeling 'quiet', so quiet that even her breath was rolling in her ears like thunder. His heartbeat seemed to be hidden in his ears, pounding and pounding, making his mouth dry, like tormenting in a hot pan.

The former concubines present were all upset when they heard this, it seemed that the Queen Mother was going to take down Xu Shutong, but who knew that this time the Queen Mother did not speak.

This is surprising to everyone.

They are not strange, just because they don't know that the Queen Mother had a conversation with Xue Yinong, and the relationship between the two is still light, and the Queen Mother will think about it when she is free, knowing that she will block it too much, but I am afraid that Xue Yinong will do it against her words, and when the time comes, it will not be good.

The relationship between aunt and nephew is not as good as before.

The demons have been cleaned up by others, and now the queen is in charge of the harem, what does she do, who offends, she simply closes her ears and doesn't listen.

"Okay, the mourning family knows, you go out first."

Xiaodouzi hurriedly retreated, and as soon as he retreated to the door, he immediately turned around and ran.

Everyone inevitably continued to complain, "Queen Mother, that Xu Shutong is too rampant, what is her identity now, why does she live in the Splendid Palace, and hook up with the emperor, if this is spread out, what will it look like." ”

"So what, the emperor is happy, the emperor is happy. Besides, Xu Shutong is just a folk girl now, even if the emperor likes her and wants her, it's nothing, isn't it. The Queen Mother's eyes were raised, and she swept around, everyone stopped talking, and she could guess what these people were thinking.

Eat one's heart out? Resentment? I still dislike that I didn't get the moon first because I was close to the water.

At least she stumbled on the front of the horse, and she hated Xu Shutong in front of her, but now she is good, not only did she not do anything to Xu Shutong, but also made her naturally able to get along with Xue Yinong.

In the past, the two were uncles and sisters-in-law, and the ministers could still stop it. Right now...... Don't say it, so as not to block your heart.

Everyone saw that the Queen Mother turned a blind eye and didn't want to take care of this idle matter, so they naturally regretted it in their hearts. Who told them that they were not as lucky as Xu Shutong, I don't know if it is too late to apply to leave the palace now?

After everyone dispersed, the Queen Mother stopped Yu Shiyou, "Queen, you stay for a while." ”

Everyone just looked back and dispersed. Yu Shiyou stayed and asked, "Queen Mother, do you have anything to do with your concubine?" ”

The Queen Mother beckoned to her, "Sit, let's talk about intimate words, there were many people just now, and there were many people, and some words were inconvenient to say." ”

"Yes." Yu Shiyou sat down and waited for the Queen Mother to speak.

"Is the relationship with the emperor good recently?"

"Okay."

The Queen Mother nodded, "How many times did the emperor go to your palace in the first month, did he stay overnight?" ”

Yu Shiyou's new daughter-in-law is thin-skinned, how can she be embarrassed to talk about this, the problem is that she and Xue Yinong have nothing. It was Mama Mei next to her, who was old and serious, and immediately replied for her: "Back to the Queen Mother, the emperor has not been to Kunyuan Palace since the wedding day." ”

"Yes, that's wronged you." The Queen Mother sighed, "But don't worry, the emperor is still young and ignorant, emotionally, men are always duller than women, you spend more thought, a little patience, as the saying goes: sincerity, gold and stone are open." Even if the mourning family was back then, the relationship with the former emperor did not get better all of a sudden, and they slowly came together. ”

Yu Shiyou can only respond to 'yes'. She and Xue Yinong are not very different from others, how to say this to the Queen Mother, I have to hide what I have in my heart.

"The mourning family knows that the emperor has a good impression of Xu Shutong, not that the mourning family praises her, she does have some benefits, when the emperor is there, she is also careful to agree, she does not take the big one, she can accommodate people, and she can tolerate those women in the harem, so she walked step by step to the position of the concubine. Queen, it's not easy to be a harem woman, no matter who she is, it's the same. ”

Yu Shiyou said: "Yes, the concubine understands." ”

"Don't just understand, you have to do it. If the emperor likes someone, you have to learn to like it, so that the emperor will look at you a few more times. The person the emperor likes, you have to learn to get close, to observe, to find out what is good about her, and then think about your own shortcomings, know yourself and the enemy, and be invincible. You have to always remember that men always like the new and hate the old, no matter how good Xu Shutong is, she also has an old time, Israel is a servant, and the color is declining and loves relaxation, men are all in the twilight, those who stay, hum, it's not us who are really good to him, you have to endure, you have to learn to wait with hope, soon, I believe that soon the emperor will stay by your side, understand? ”

Yu Shiyou responded: "Thank you for the teachings of the Queen Mother, the concubine knows." ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "You are really a smart child, it would be good if you could learn, don't complain about the emperor, the harem has always been like this, I only see the newcomer laughing, I don't see the old man crying, and the one who can persist until the end will win." ”

After talking to Yu Shiyou for a while, the Queen Mother said: "There are a lot of mourning words today, don't dislike it." ”

"The Queen Mother is strict."

"Okay, let's go, I'm tired and want to rest." The girl next to the Queen Mother took the cushion in time. Seeing this, Yu Shiyou got up and said goodbye, and left with Mama Mei and a few girls.

Riding on the sedan chair, only to feel the cold in the face, so cold that she shivered, the eunuch held an umbrella, covering the top of her head, when the snowflakes fell, the sound of rustling above her head.

Yu Shiyou returned to Kunyuan Palace, sat there and came to his senses, and when he raised his head, he found Mama Mei standing beside him. "What do you want to say, Mama Mei?"

Mama Mei opened her mouth and said: "Niangniang, look at what the Queen Mother means, she is on your side, since the Queen Mother is in charge of you, what are you afraid of." ”

"Is Hongu afraid of anything? No. Hongu just doesn't want to cause trouble and make people unhappy. The person in her mouth naturally refers to Xue Yinong. However, what the Queen Mother said, some of them still make sense, now she is the lord of the first palace, Xu Shutong is here, she has to say something about it, and immediately told Mama Mei to prepare some gifts. Mama Mei was overjoyed, thinking that Yu Shiyou had figured it out and wanted to compete for favor according to the Queen Mother's method.

With an approving smile on his face, he happily went to prepare.

Yu Shiyou sighed behind her, she didn't mean it, just a little bit of the friendship of the landlord.

When the gift was ready, she got on the sedan chair and went all the way to the Splendid Palace, while sending someone to the Splendid Palace to inform her first.

Hearing that the queen was coming, Xu Shutong was stunned for a moment. Cun Xi said in a low voice: "This is to come over and play prestige?" Xu Shutong shook his head and signaled her not to talk nonsense.

She said to the visitor: "Got it, thank you father-in-law." He took out a piece of silver directly from his sleeve, "It's cold in winter, my father-in-law can buy some wine to drink." ”

"Thank you, ma'am."

As soon as the eunuch left, he complained with pity: "You spend money again, what are they worth." When you become a mother again, they are not in a hurry to carry your shoes and run errands with their tails between their legs. ”

"Don't say that, they are soft-spoken, but sometimes they hinder us. As for the future, that is a matter of the future, and we will talk about it later, at the moment, we are just among the guests, it is better to be low-key, even if there is the emperor's protection, she cannot be in front of her all the time. ”

In this way, the pity did not speak.

The two waited a little longer, and the queen arrived. The two went out the door, and a cold wind blew on their faces, and they bowed down to greet them. Yu Shiyou was helped, wearing clogs on his feet, and walking, crackling, in the quiet splendid palace, which has a unique charm.

On the top of a pair of embroidered shoes embroidered with dragon and phoenix auspicious patterns, only a small tip was exposed. When Xu Shutong lowered his head, he could only see Yu Shiyou's feet.

When the voice was closer, Xu Shutong leaned down and bowed: "The folk girl has seen the queen, and the queen is a thousand years old." The same is true of the pity next to him.

Yu Shiyou looked at the woman in front of him, his mood was very complicated, when he got married that day, it was this woman who stole the limelight of herself as a bride, in the eyes of everyone, she took away all her attention, and let the emperor dry herself in the wind.

Did she do it unintentionally, or did it on purpose. Thinking of the cold joke of the imperial doctor, the corners of Yu Shiyou's mouth couldn't help but sneer, it was deliberate.

"Excuse me."

Xu Shutong raised his head, met the queen's eyes, and then slowly looked away, made way out, and let the queen in. The queen was followed by Mama Mei, as well as many eunuchs and palace maids, and the rest of the people all stayed outside to wait, and the queen said, "Come in, it's cold outside." ”

Xu Shutong responded: "Yes." ”

When Xu Shutong faced her, he sat slightly sideways, his body turned to the queen's side to show respect, and his body was slightly bent, with the meaning of listening to the teachings.

The queen looked her up and down, and then said with a smile: "Don't be so nervous, this palace is just to see you, I heard that you came to the palace, this palace is very happy, the last time I saw you, we were far away from each other, and I didn't see it really, I saw you now, no wonder the emperor treated you differently." ”

Xu Shutong even said that he was honored, but he was thinking about the queen's intention to come here, didn't he trouble her? Let's see. It's just that she treats everyone differently, it doesn't seem to be, she said: "The emperor treats everyone equally, where does it come from." ”

"This palace came here today to give Mrs. Xu some gifts." As soon as the queen raised her chin, Mama Mei let the things come in, and the small boxes were opened one by one, so that Xu Shutong could see it, and a lot of jewelry on her head was given, as well as a lot of silky new brocades, and a few of the various patterns were given, "It's winter, make a few cotton jackets to wear, and the palace has heard of Mrs. Xu's skillful hands." ”

"What is not is just the excesses of praise by others. Compared with the queen mother, the folk girl still has a lot to learn. ”
