"Miss Xiao Er, are you talking? How can you let the Queen Mother wait for you? Xue Qingyi spoke very appropriately, speaking slowly like a stream flowing down from a mountain, as if he was just saying it casually, and it was not lethal at all.

But it aggravated Xiao Wanyao's embarrassment, and she couldn't find a reasonable reason to explain her situation for a while.

Could it be said that when she and Xue Tianao were about to get married, Tang Siqi accidentally fell in love with her and snatched her into the palace to be a concubine, and she didn't like Tang Siqi, and she didn't want to stay in the palace as a concubine, so this matter kept going on like this?

What would Empress Dowager Xue think if she heard this true version? If Xiao Wanyao told the truth, it was saying that Tang Siqi robbed his brother's fiancée regardless of brotherhood, and the person who was robbed didn't look down on Tang Siqi at all, so Empress Dowager Xue would be angry, right!?

But Xiao Wanyao didn't dare to lie to her at all, the risk was too great, so big that she would rather just be so embarrassed than make up a lie to deceive her.

"Why doesn't Miss Xiao Er speak?" Empress Dowager Xue also lost her patience, frowned slightly, and asked, "Is there anything unspeakable?" ”

Empress Dowager Xue's words were polite, but her tone was not gentle.

What to do? What to do...... If she faced other people, maybe Xiao Wanyao still had ideas, but in the face of Empress Dowager Xue, she couldn't do anything, she couldn't deny Tang Siqi in front of her and Xue Qingyi, wouldn't that be looking for death?

"Auntie! My nephew has the cloud tea brought back from southern Xinjiang, my nephew tasted it once, and it tasted excellent, but there were not many of them, so I could only send one person, so my nephew thought about it and gave it to my aunt to drink! Not even my sister and my saint, my nephew is precious to him! "Just listening to this crisp voice, you know that it is Xue Tianao, looking at the entire Wei country, he is the only one who can have such a good voice.

Xue Tianao came in with a white porcelain tea can, and entered the Yongshou Hall with a happy look.

He saw that the atmosphere in the hall was awkward, so he looked up, first saw Xue Qingyi, and immediately smiled: "I don't know that my sister is also here, just now I didn't say it to Qinghe, this is for my aunt didn't say it, but Qinghe still has a little bit there, and I will send it to my sister for my sister to enjoy in a while, but ......" Xue Tianao smiled slyly, "But don't let the saint know, Qinghe doesn't have a third cloud tea here......

Before Xue Tianao finished speaking, he turned his head and saw Xiao Wanyao, the smile that was still on his face had become stiff at the moment.

Xiao Wanyao also became nervous when she saw him, for fear that this guy would stab her again, she had no way to deal with it, Xue Tianao said a few more nonsense, Xiao Wanyao thought that she could die directly.

"Miss Xiao Er is also here!? Long time no see. Xue Tianao was completely disinterested when he saw her, and he looked bored.

"I've seen Xue Gongzi." Xiao Wanyao said as she breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately she just said hello and didn't say anything strange.

Empress Dowager Xue's expression eased a lot when she looked at her nephew, and she took the tea pot in Xue Tianao's hand with a smile, opened it and sniffed the taste, and said: "Qinghe really knows the goods, this is a very authentic cloud tea, and it is also thanks to you that you have this filial piety, so the mourning family is not welcome and accepts it." ”

Xue Tianao raised his eyebrows and said: "Good tea should be drunk by someone worthy of its identity, by the way, my nephew recently fell in love with a mutton fat jade pendant at my sister's place, but my sister said that it was given by the saint, so she didn't give it to me, and asked my aunt to be the master of this tea." ”

Empress Dowager Xue smiled: "It's just a pendant, Qingyi, you just gave it to him!?" In precious things, there is no family affection between sisters and brothers, you also know that Qinghe, this child, he must get his hands on the things he likes, otherwise he will keep pestering you, you see that he is going to come to the mourning family, you will look at the thin face of the mourning family, and give it to him. ”

Xue Qingyi stood up and blessed her body: "Listen to my aunt, Qinghe, you thief monkey, exchanged a pot of tea for my mutton fat jade pendant." ”

Xue Tianao didn't care, as soon as he heard that his goal had been achieved, he smiled heartily.

Empress Dowager Xue saw that Xiao Wanyao was reluctant to tell the truth, and one of the parties was present, so she asked Xue Tianao: "Qinghe, the mourning family asks you a question, and you have to answer it honestly." Empress Dowager Xue said.

Xue Tianao replied: "Although my aunt said hello, can my nephew not say it?" ”

Empress Dowager Xue said: "Did this Miss Xiao Er in front of you ever have a marriage contract with you?" ”

Xue Tianao glanced at Xiao Wanyao indifferently and replied, "Not only did there be a marriage contract, but I almost got married." ”

Xiao Wanyao sighed in her heart, why did Xue Tianao come!!

"Oh?" Empress Dowager Xue said, "Then why didn't it happen?" ”

Xue Tianao sneered: "Fortunately, it didn't work out, if a woman like her who is in charge of everything is married back home by me, will I have a free life in the future?" Oh, auntie, can we talk about it tomorrow? After a while, my sister repented, where can I get my mutton fat jade pendant!? ”

Empress Dowager Xue was helpless, and waved her hand at Xue Tianao and Xue Qingyi: "You guys go back first!" Qinghe can't get the pendant he wants, he will definitely turn against the sky, the first emperor can't cure him, and the mourning family can't do anything. ”

Xue Qingyi originally wanted to see the excitement, but Xue Tianao was so stirred up that he could only leave first, Xue Tianao hurriedly followed, and when he left, he didn't forget to look back at the Empress Dowager Xue, showing a grateful look.

Empress Dowager Xue only smiled kindly, and then waved her hand at him.

After Xue Qingyi and Xue Tianao left, Empress Dowager Xue asked the other palace maids and eunuchs to go down, and for a while, only Empress Dowager Xue and Xiao Wanyao were left in the huge Yongshou Palace.

Xiao Wanyao was shocked, how could Xue Tianao be so bold and talk nonsense with his eyes open!?

Empress Dowager Xue's expression was no longer relaxed, but became cold and stern: "Say it!" What are the facts? ”

Xiao Wanyao ran out of ideas for a while, should she continue to make up Xue Tianao's lies, or tell the truth? To be honest, isn't it just to expose Xue Tianao's lies? Xue Tianao is kind enough to help her!

Empress Dowager Xue's words later solved the problem in front of her for her, but it also brought new troubles.

"Xue Tianao can talk nonsense with his eyes open, that's because he is my own nephew, but you can't, you can only tell the truth." Empress Dowager Xue's tone of voice was flat, but it did not contain any warmth.

It turned out that she had known that Xue Tianao was talking nonsense, but she didn't debunk it, maybe not just for the sake of Xue Tianao's face.

"Back to the Queen Mother's words." Xiao Wanyao lowered her head and said cautiously, "So far, Wanyao doesn't dare to hide it from her mother, so she can only tell the truth." ”

Now that Empress Dowager Xue has sent everyone away, Xiao Wanyao also knows that Empress Dowager Xue just wants to know the truth, and she will not embarrass her for the time being.

"Wan Yao and Xue Gongzi do have a marriage contract, but during this period, Wan Yao went to her father Xiao Man's Bowen Pavilion and accidentally met the saint, but Wan Yao didn't know that the third master was the saint at the time, so with the permission of her father, she played a game of chess with the third master, but she didn't expect it to be because of this game of chess......" When Xiao Wanyao said this, Empress Dowager Xue raised her hand and told her not to say any more.

"You are telling the truth, the saint is the third among the sons of the first emperor, so before ascending the throne, people also called him the third master, if you lie, you will never be able to tell this detail......" Empress Dowager Xue said calmly, Xiao Wanyao couldn't help but secretly rejoice that she didn't lie in front of this meticulous queen mother.

"This is indeed the temper of the saint, if you like it, you have to get it......" Empress Dowager Xue said, "Then the matter of repentance of marriage, the fault is not you, after all, the saint is the Son of Heaven, and the will of the Son of Heaven cannot be disobeyed, fortunately, you are smart, you didn't say it just now, and you brushed the face of the holy mountain." ”

Xiao Wanyao sighed in her heart that Empress Dowager Xue was really sensible, which was a rare advantage in their Xue family.

"But since you have come to the palace, why have you not accepted the canonization for a long time? Is it because you still miss Xue Tianao in your heart? Empress Dowager Xue couldn't help but question.

Xiao Wanyao shook her head: "Wan Yao and Xue Gongzi do have a marriage contract, but Wan Yao does not dare to expire the Queen Mother, Wan Yao is not so affectionate to Xue Gongzi, to be honest, if the sons of other families come to Xiao Mansion to propose, as long as the father can see it and have a good character, Wan Yao should consider it, so ......"

"So you don't like Xue Tianao, but that kid came to relieve you on purpose, I've never seen him like this, it seems that he is sincere to you." Empress Dowager Xue said.

Xiao Wanyao bit her lip, she didn't know what to say for a while, it turned out that Xue Tianao came to protect her, she didn't even notice it, and Empress Dowager Xue's vision was so accurate that she could even find this.

"No matter what your reason is, as soon as you enter the palace gate, you should accept the canonization with peace of mind, this is already a doomed thing, whether you like Xue Tianao or not, it is impossible for you to do so, it is better to let the saint rest assured as soon as possible, anyway, you can't change anything." Empress Dowager Xue persuaded that this was already a concession.

Xiao Wanyao gritted her teeth and said: "The Queen Mother's lesson is very good, and Wan Yao also knows that she is wrong, but Wan Yao has already agreed with the saint to make an appointment, and this year, when the osmanthus flowers bloom, Wan Yao's canonization will be carried out, and the saint has already agreed......"

Empress Dowager Xue was a little relieved when she heard this: "Since this is the case, the mourning family won't say much, for the sake of your child's intelligence and general knowledge, the mourning family will let you be willful for a while!" ”I1483
