Chapter 59 The dumplings are delicious, and the confession is even more embarrassing
59
Hearing the Queen Mother's words, Yu Shiyou was the first to lower his head, not because he was shy, but because he was afraid of meeting Xue Yinong's eyes, thinking that this qiē was all her complaint. Among the people at the table, Xue Yinong's three sisters looked at Yu Shiyou with sympathetic and full of eyes, they did this because they were all women and had a deep understanding. They glanced at each other and said in their hearts: "Most of the men in the world are unkind, let alone kings. Although this person is their younger brother, the identity of the woman makes them stand in the camp of Yu Shiyou.
Xue Yinong became a loner for a while, and he couldn't smile anymore.
There was a person at the table who had been sneering and watching, Xue Yinong's eyes swept away, but it was Xue Wanli, her twin sister. Today, Xue Yanli is also wearing men's clothes, with two earrings hanging on his ears, which is slightly different from Xue Yinong.
Xue gradually left the original sneer, suddenly smiled brightly, and said to the Queen Mother: "Aunt the Queen Mother, what you said is not right, where is the fourth brother lazy, he is obviously very diligent, isn't he facing the confidante every day, the heat of the people, you don't see it, don't wronged him, if you want to say it, you can only say, he, plough the wrong field." ”
The Queen Mother suddenly realized.
During the banquet, the other people's faces changed, not to mention the three princesses, even those little county lords were not very happy, and Xue Yinong was no exception.
Yu Shiyou sat on Xue Wanli's head, and when he saw her say this, he knew that she was complaining about herself, but in front of so many people, Xue Yiqiang's face was ruined, and he was afraid that he would not be able to get over the face here, so he privately dragged the corner of Xue Wanli's clothes with his hand, and motioned to her with his eyes to stop talking.
Xue gradually detached from consciousness, and also knew that this imperial brother was no longer her fourth brother, and he criticized him so casually in front of so many people, and the emperor's majesty could not be trampled on at will, so he quickly stopped his mouth and clicked to the end.
However, Xue Yinong was still displeased, and his face was dark.
The eldest princess spoke at first, and blamed Xue for leaving, "Fifth sister can't talk nonsense. It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that the emperor has the important responsibility of the world, and he really needs a person who knows and speaks by his side. The eldest princess said this, one alleviated Xue Yinong's embarrassment, and the other also hoped that there would be her own blame to alleviate Xue Yinong's anger, so that she would stop blaming Xue Wanli.
Xue gradually understood his intentions and cast a grateful glance at the eldest princess.
It's just that Xue Yinong doesn't know her intentions. However, she has another plan in her heart at the moment, she didn't let Xu Shutong participate in today's family banquet, she didn't want to go, considering the troubles in all aspects, so she didn't bring people over, if she let anyone say anything more about her, she couldn't bear it.
Therefore, he said, "I will take care of my own affairs." I don't need to worry about the people next to me, and I know it, so no matter what you say, I won't blame you, but if you rely on this temperament and act arbitrarily, I don't care about it today, will my mother-in-law and husband still tolerate you in the future? You're not young, and some time ago, the queen mother asked me to choose a family affair for you, and I think it's time to put this matter on the agenda......"
Xue Yinong glanced at Xue Yanli lightly, and saw that her face became pale, and she lowered her head and said nothing, knowing that she was unwilling to say kiss at this time, so she would sprinkle salt on her wound.
No matter who made her hurt, she didn't care who it was, and she returned it one by one. Since she has become an emperor, she is not willful and sorry for herself at all, and it is not her character to swallow everything.
Empress Dowager He saw that the two sisters were in a stalemate, which ruined each other's feelings, and played a round out of it, "Okay, don't patronize talking, eat vegetables, eat vegetables, otherwise it will be cold." The princesses paid attention to their mother's intentions, and they all persuaded them. Yinong, you are older, don't be angry with your sister. Gradually leaving, don't hurry up and compensate your fourth brother, everyone is just talking about fun, what to do with thorns in your words. ”
There was resentment between each other, and when they saw the Empress Dowager He's face, they all smiled.
Xue gradually left Xue Yinong and Xue Yinong lost it, Xue Yinong said that he didn't care, at least he was okay on the surface. However, the majesty of the emperor was inviolable, and no matter who he was, Xue gradually stuck out his tongue, feeling that he was becoming more and more estranged from his brother. Her soft lady-like fourth brother will never be seen again.
They came and went, and the tension was there.
During the banquet, a little guy grabbed a pair of chopsticks, bit them in his mouth, looked at Xue Yinong with sparkling eyes, and couldn't help but want to talk to her, but he couldn't be empty. Seeing that everyone shut up, he said, "Uncle Emperor, you promised me to make a grasshopper for me last time, are you doing a good job?" ”
Princess Celestia shouted, "Winter." ”
Yan Dong flattened her mouth very innocently, she didn't say anything wrong!
Xue Yinong looked at the winter, and inevitably searched in his mind, knowing that she was the fourth daughter of the eldest princess's family, but this little girl is now also wearing men's clothes and dressed as a son, and she wants to come here without the idea of the Empress Dowager He, and she is going to use her daughter to pretend to be her son, and Xue Yinong, who was in the forebody, likes this little niece very much.
Seeing her ask, a gentle smile appeared on her face, "Of course it's done, but I haven't had time to show it to you yet, but I want to sell it, on the day of the Lantern Festival, please eat rice balls, and then send grasshoppers, what do you think?" ”
On a small face, there was a flush of excitement. I couldn't help but ask, "Really?" She blinked her innocent eyes and looked at Xue Yinong.
"Naturally, it's a puppy to lie to you."
The eldest princess looked at it, wanting to stop her daughter's rude behavior, but was stopped by Xue Yinong shaking her head, "Sister Huang, don't blame her, I promised her, so naturally I have to do it." ”
The two pulled hooks and recited the oath. "Hook hanging, it will not change for a hundred years, whoever cheats is a puppy." He returned to his seat and went to eat. After that, Xue Yinong didn't eat two bites, he said that he was full and wanted to go out for a walk, and everyone naturally didn't dare to stop him.
Empress Dowager He reminded: "It's cold outside, wear more." He ordered the palace maid and the eunuch to follow, and opened his eyes to look for the wild goose, but she was not there.
As soon as Xue Yinong left, Yu Shiyou also got up and came out.
Everyone was happy to see this, so they naturally didn't stop her, and urged her to hurry up. Yu Shiyou's face turned red, and he came out with Mama Mei and others, looking around, but he couldn't find Xue Yinong's figure, and he still left, only one step too late.
She turned around, only to find that Xue gradually left and followed.
"Why did you get out?" Yu Shiyou asked.
Xue gradually left: "What about you?" He looked into the night and said to himself, "He's gone." The two stood outside, the cold wind blowing in the corners of their clothes, silent to each other. Xue Yanli took a deep breath before saying, "Xiaofeng, today I was reckless and didn't take into account your difficulties. ”
"Don't say stupid things, you're also for me, I understand." There is no identity between the two friends, you and I are talking. "It's just that you can't be bold in the future, it's hard to be violated, if we don't respect the emperor, let alone others, wouldn't it be even more difficult for him to do things."
Smelling the snow disaster outside, the emperor is also unreasonable, if there is a fire in the backyard, what he is doing as an emperor is really boring.
"Hey!" Xue gradually let out a long sigh, "You need to know that I am always worthless for you." In the past, I looked at the fourth brother's soft and weak appearance, I was not afraid that he would bully you, even if I got married, you would be in charge, wouldn't everything be appropriate, but when I came back this time, he was completely different, which was no longer expected. I didn't expect things to come to this point, but you still spoke for him, do you think he is not blessed? Okay, don't talk about it, talk too much, you say that I offended Tianwei again, let's not stand in the wind, if you catch a cold, I'm fine, you can't do it, it's a headache and brain fever, otherwise go to your palace at this time to sit down, so as not to be with the queen mother, aunts and sisters, we can't get into their topics at all. ”
"But I have promised the Queen Mother to keep the New Year's ...... together," Yu Shiyou was slightly embarrassed.
"The fourth brother also agreed, and it's not too late to come back later." She winced and said, "It's cold." Yu Shiyou was willing to let her stand in the wind, and hurriedly invited Xue gradually to leave his palace to sit, burned charcoal to warm the house, and took out the chess pieces for fun.
said that he had learned two kinds of chess newly, and he wanted to fight with Xue Yanli.
"Oh, what a good move, come and show me." Xue Yanli was very interested, and he couldn't wait to urge, Yu Shiyou knew her best, everything was in a hurry, and after playing chess and teaching the rules, the two of them played with great interest.
The words are divided into two ends. Let's say that Xue Yinong left the table from the Nourishing Palace, and although he stayed for a long time, he didn't eat much. Xu Shutong's food has already raised her mouth, and eating what other people make is like chewing wax, and it will be finished after a few chopsticks.
As soon as she returned, all the unhappiness had already been concealed.
When I entered the door, I felt that the heating was coming, and the people inside were lively. Luo Yan and Cun Xi gathered around the table to make dumplings, from time to time to fight flour, there were also palace maids and eunuchs who were on errands at the door, and when they saw that she was not there, they were all invited to come over and have a reunion dinner together.
No one expected Xue Yinong to appear at this moment, the crowd who were talking and laughing just now suddenly had a stiff smile on their faces, and after a while, they knelt on the ground in fear, "Long live the emperor, I don't know that the emperor has arrived, and the crime deserves death." ”
Xue Yinong smiled slightly, "Those who don't know are not guilty, forgive it, what are you all doing?" She leaned over to take a look, and she was making dumplings and rolling dumpling wrappers. In the side door, Xu Shutong came over with a big iron pot, and the little palace maid behind her was holding the coal stove, which was freshly burned and eaten, and was stunned when she saw Xue Yinong.
"The emperor is here." In front of a crowd of people who were genuinely scared, her smile was simple and relaxed, and she was very pleasant.
Xue Yinong asked, "What are you doing, I want to eat it too." With her joining, everyone's faces suddenly changed and they were very restrained, and she had to emphasize again and again, "I'm just here to ask for some food, not to disturb you." Saying so pitiful, Luo Yan was the first to laugh.
"The emperor hasn't eaten well over there, and he came to us to grab food, look at this poor thing, okay, I will reward you." Luo Yan's heroic sleeves waved, Xue Yinong's head bowed, and he hugged his fists and thanked him. She acted merrily, and the crowd laughed along.
Xu Shutong came over and instructed Xue Yi to light the coal stove and insisted that she make a fool of herself. Xue Yinong happily accepted the order, added grass and small branches to the charcoal, and fanned it with a pu fan, which looked very good. When it was lit, Xu Shutong put the big iron pot on the boiling water, and when it was boiling, it was good to eat the dumplings.
On the one hand, he was afraid that everyone would be uncomfortable, so he pulled Xue Yinong to the small kitchen to talk. "Why didn't you run back before you had enough?"
"There's no dredging there, so it's not a taste to eat."
"As far as your mouth is sweet, don't want to beg for food because of these two sentences, it's not that cheap, we've been busy for a while." As soon as he heard that the effort was not enough, Xue Yinong pulled Xu Shutong's sleeve, shook it around, and made Xu Shutong happy, "Look at your little bit of talent." ”
"Yes, I'm useless, I miss you."
Xu Shutong looked at Xue Yinong's eyes, she felt a little dazzled, and hurriedly lowered her head to look at the cotton boots on her feet, and after a long time, Fang said in a low voice: "Me too!" However, the tone was so sighing, probably sighing that he had told a lie. Xue Yinong's kindness to her, she has seen it in her eyes these days, but the more good she treats her, the more ashamed she becomes. "How's it going over there, is it lively?"
"There are a lot of people, annoying, drinking at every turn, nothing new, this year for the sake of the victims, the song and dance have also been canceled, and the dishes are simpler, but I am afraid that they will eat this meal, and they will go back and ask their aunt to add a small stove to cook and eat!"
Xu Shutong smiled stupidly: "You are like this, it seems that people all over the world are like this." ”
The two of them had not been talking for long, and then they came over and stood at the door, leaning against the door and smiling evilly. "Ah, the slave and maid came at a bad time, but I disturbed you talking, where did it go? They said that the dumplings were ready, and they wanted the emperor to eat the first bowl. ”
"It's coming, let's go too, don't let them rob it all."
In front of Cunxi, he did not avoid suspicion and took Xu Shutong's hand. Looking at Xu Shutong with a smile, Xu Shutong smiled: "Don't be late, be careful to wait for the next pot." "Everyone got together and fished a bowl, Xue Yinong was a southerner in her previous life, she ate a lot of wontons, and the number of times she ate dumplings was limited, so she ate dumplings like eating chaos, eating dumplings and drinking soup. The rest of the people served it directly on the plate and ate it with vinegar and chili peppers.
After eating lively, everyone cleaned up, and there was a new activity - wiping bamboo cards, winning copper plates, Xue Yinong would not, hiding behind Xu Shutong to watch the excitement, of course, after watching it for a long time, there were more small movements, sitting here for a while to peek, sitting there for a while to peek, and secretly giving Xu Shutong a message, everyone found out that this cat was tired, and even Xu Shutong was driven out together.
"The emperor is still cheating, it's time to send it away."
If anyone dared to talk like this in the past, but relying on the good atmosphere today, Xue Yinong looked like a scoundrel eating and drinking, and they were a little more relaxed with each other.
"Why is this so, it's not fair......" Xue Yinong still wanted to complain, but he was persuaded away by Xu Shutong. What are we going to do? ”
"Doesn't the emperor know? There is a prayer event in the palace, and I was planning to write a post to hang it up. ”
Xue Yinong said 'oh', wanting to see what she was going to write, but Xu Shutong took the red paper, but went to the side to write, and forbade her to come forward and peek with her eyes, Xue Yinong said: "What's the big deal, I will also write it." "I cut a small piece of paper and wrote a few wishes.
Xu Shutong asked, "What are you writing?" ”
"If you don't show it to me, you still want me to show you, no way."
No way, what's that? Xu Shutong blinked his eyes, didn't ask, pulled Xue Yinong's sleeve and said, "Let's go, don't bother them here, let's go outside for a walk and relax." He took the fox fur cloak from the hanger and put it on Xue Yinong, and pulled up his hat, "Be careful of catching a cold." And he put on the red one, and the two of them went out with the lantern, and said to the people in the house as they went out.
Originally, there were still people to follow, but Xue Yinong didn't let them go, letting them loosen themselves.
The two of them were holding lanterns in their hands, and Xue Yinong followed Xu Shutong and said, "Where are you going to hang your wish post?" ”
"The emperor really doesn't know? Plum Blossom Forest. ”
"The last piece?"
Xu Shutong suddenly remembered something, and his face was slightly hot. Xin said: "What's wrong with me, it's just a kiss." After calming down, he said, "Yes!" The two walked one after the other, Xu Shutong suddenly turned around and asked Xue Yinong: "Did you have been wronged today and ran over?" ”
"No, how can you think that, I am the emperor, what grievances can I suffer." She said a little uncomfortably.
"Didn't you? Is there really none? You didn't lie to me? Xu Shutong suddenly leaned in front of Xue Yinong's face and made her gaze unavoidable, "You know, there are some things that two people who love each other can't hide, so I'll worry about ......"
These words really have great lethality, Xue Yinong muttered: "It's really not a thing, it's just that I was asked by the Queen Mother and my sister why I haven't had a child yet." ”
"Huh?" Xu Shutong looked at Xue Yinong's awkward little appearance, and after being stunned for a while, he was so happy that he couldn't straighten his waist with a smile, and he laughed almost like that, so he couldn't hold back, but the corners of his mouth were raised, revealing his big white teeth, Xue Yinong didn't look at her, and deliberately looked away. When she finished laughing, Fang Yan said: "This matter is indeed a big deal, no wonder the Queen Mother is so anxious." There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. You can't afford to wear this big hat. ”
"Yes, but I can't help it, it's all like this......" Her voice grew quieter and quieter, and when she said the back, it was almost like a mosquito.
"The queen is only afraid that she will not be nagged less, giving birth to a child, as a woman, she has suffered the most, you have time, go over to comfort and comfort her, she has no one in the palace to talk about her heart, after a long time, it is inevitable that she will be lonely and resentful."
Xue Yinong agreed. Thinking that Xu Shutong said such a thing, he must have suffered a lot of grievances, so he said: "I don't care if I have children or not, it's a big deal to inherit one from my sister and sister in the future." Her words were relaxed, and Xu Shutong knew that she was comforting herself, so she smiled happily. But in my heart I didn't think so. The emperor's heirs are not trivial, and I am afraid that I will have to choose from my cousins.
The two walked and walked to the plum blossom forest. It was pitch black there, and with the cold wind blowing, there was a feeling of coldness, Xue Yinong quickened his pace and walked to Xu Shutong's side, wanting to be with her. As soon as the two approached, they heard the paper being blown by the wind, Xue Yinong held the lantern high, looked at it, the colored paper was fluttering, and there were really many people who came here to pray.
Then he had a thought, and attached his ear to Xu Shutong like this. Xu Shutong was puzzled: "No, if this is known......"
Without waiting for Xu Shutong to finish speaking, Xue Yinong swore and said: "God knows, you know and I know, no one knows, maybe there are some wishes, I can realize them for them, so why bother God." "She's so majestic and high-spirited, it's wrong not to do it.
"Then look at it?"
Xue Yinong affirmed: "Of course." He reached out and plucked a piece of paper and said, "May my parents be in good health and my sisters safe." She hung back and read another word: "I heard that there is a snow disaster in my hometown, may my parents and brothers be safe." "After reading it, I put it back again, it is quite interesting to go on like this, all the way over, there is a shortage of writing everything, and there is a lack of money at home, and it is difficult to settle down, Xue Yinong put all these things that can be done into his arms, Xu Shutong persuaded her not to read it again." Okay, just one more, just one. She begged in every possible way, and Xu Shutong agreed.
"The last one."
"Good!" After taking it off, he read it in the light of the lantern: "May the emperor look at me twice, so that I can be a ......mother as soon as possible" The following words, I really didn't dare to read it anymore, I swept Xu Shutong with my residual light, then raised my head, and coughed twice, "Ah, I read too much, it's really not good." This is about to hang back, Xu Shutong looked at her with a smile.
urged: "Why doesn't the emperor read it, I'm listening to it with relish." ”
"What's there to think about here, it's just a greedy girl, don't say it."
Xu Shutong said with a smile: "This wish is also within the scope of the emperor's realization, why not let Ren Gonggong announce his will, carry it back, wash and peel it to warm the emperor's bed, and save the spring and then the people to disturb it, don't you say it's good?" I'm afraid that there is more than one person who has such hopes, and the emperor is really popular......"
Xue Yinong's face was ashamed, and explained: "Shutong, it's not like this, I'm not such a person. ”
Xu Shutong knew it, but he just made fun of Xue Yinong. She said: "Hang us up quickly, so that it can be realized as soon as possible." ”
Xue Yinong saw that she was no longer pursuing it, he breathed a sigh of relief, and happily followed behind her, to find the largest and tallest plum tree, after finding it, Xu Shutong tiptoed to let himself hang high, Xue Yinong said: "I came to help." She was taller than Xu Shutong, she was taller, and she hung up with her own, and asked, "What did Shutong write?" ”
"If you say it, it won't work." He folded his hands and closed his eyes to make a wish. Xue Yinong saw it from the side, and did it generally, just doing it, and didn't forget to secretly open one eye, look at Xu Shutong, continue to close it, and pretend to chant the scriptures.
There are still words in his mouth, "I wish the people of the world peace and have been spared, and I will do my best to do it." Second, I wish my family good health. Three wishes that I and Shutong will love each other forever. She clearly said it to Xu Shutong.
Xu Shutong said: "May the emperor be able to achieve it." ”
