The day Xiao Wanyao regained her consciousness was the day she returned home, and before that, she had a period of hardship that ordinary ladies from large families could not experience.

During the fifteen days of celebrating the New Year with Xue Tianao, because Xue Tianao told her a memory of his childhood and Ning Zi Palace, in exchange, Xue Tianao asked Xiao Wanyao to tell him some of her own past.

Xiao Wanyao didn't like to recall those pasts, but she couldn't let go of being pestered by Xue Tianao, so she had to start telling him her own story.

She has never mentioned these memories to others, even if Tang Siqi asks now, Xiao Wanyao only answers vaguely and perfunctory.

That night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Xiao Wanyao sat on the condensing purple platform, in her past life and present life, she talked about her past for the first time: "I have lived in the countryside since I was a child, my aunt raised me, before the age of eight I always believed my aunt said, I am a fatherless and motherless orphan, my aunt only raised me for the sake of my mother, so I have always been especially grateful to her for her nurturing grace, although she is not good to me." ”

Xue Tianao was stunned: "I don't see this, you seem to have seen the world." ”

Xiao Wanyao ignored him and continued: "That was all later. My aunt's family has two children in addition to me, one is my cousin who is two years older than me, and the other is my cousin who is two years younger than me, my aunt said that it is difficult to raise three children at home, so I only let my cousin go to a private school when he was six years old, and I originally wanted my cousin to go, but my cousin thought that studying was too boring so she refused, and I was not qualified at all, but at that time I did not complain, because it was not easy for my aunt to raise me, and I wanted to be grateful, so since I was sensible, I did all kinds of work at home. ”

"I couldn't write my name until I was eight years old, and I only knew the simplest words, but then my aunt asked me to send my cousin to a private school. My mother once married into a large family as a concubine, and died in childbirth when she gave birth to me, and was later sent to the countryside, and someone in the family gave my aunt a large sum of money. ”

Xue Tianao bit his lip, clenched his hand into a fist, and laid it in front of Xiao Wanyao: "I took a lot of money and used you as a coolie!?" Where does she live, you sue me, I'm going to teach her a hard lesson. ”

Xiao Wanyao shook her head: "No need, it's already in the past, besides, if she hadn't accepted her uncle's money back then, and then supported me, maybe there is no me in the world now, and now I don't have contact anymore, the nurturing grace of the year and the money that my uncle gave away are even, and I can't write it off and don't owe each other, it's good." ”

Xue Tianao pulled the corners of his mouth: "You can think about it, people treat you like this, but you don't care." ”

Xiao Wanyao looked at the sky in a daze for a long time, and then said: "There's no way, if you have to take care of everything, how can life continue?" ”

"Wan Yao?" A cold male voice sounded in her ears, Xiao Wanyao came back to her senses, only to find that she was now in the Xuanshu Palace, and it was not Xue Tianao who was sitting opposite, but Tang Siqi.

Xiao Wanyao sighed secretly, she didn't expect her to be distracted for so long, and hurriedly said to Tang Siqi: "It's Wanyao's fault, it may be that she hasn't rested well in the past few days, and she has just been tired, I hope the saint will forgive me." ”

Tang Siqi smiled gently: "There is nothing unforgivable, is it normal for people to be human, besides, I didn't call you here to talk about national affairs, just chatting, and it is not a big mistake to be distracted." ”

Tang Siqi didn't mind anymore, the topic turned back to the right track, and said: "Okay, let's talk about marriage, since the widow has taken over the planning, he has to make some achievements, otherwise won't he make others laugh?" ”

Xiao Wanyao nodded: "The saint's wise decision-making will definitely be done very well, Wan Yao will naturally do her best to help the saint, and my sister's wedding is also Wan Yao's wish, if she can help her realize it, Wan Yao will also feel satisfied." ”

Tang Siqi leaned back in the chair and said after a while: "Wan Yao, I'm sorry, the widow can't give you a wedding." ”

Xiao Wanyao was silent, she had already expected in her heart that giving her a wedding would be to admit that she was a wife, so wouldn't Xue Qingyi have made a fuss?

But Tang Siqi has been on the throne for two years now, the foundation is not stable, and everything has to rely on the Xue family, how can he offend the Xue family for the sake of Xiao Wanyao?

Xiao Wanyao understands that Tang Siqi is not a fool, he will not do this, otherwise he would not be the unsympathetic Tang Siqi that Xiao Wanyao knew.

"Do you blame the widow?" Tang Siqi asked in a deep voice.

Xiao Wanyao hooked the corners of her mouth: "Of course not, the saint is thinking about the overall situation." ”

Tang Siqi snorted lightly, and spoke very softly: "Then when will you be ready?" No one knows how long they can wait......"

"It's almost ......," Xiao Wanyao also replied softly, "When the osmanthus is fragrant, Wanyao often accompanies the saint." ”

"Cinnamon fragrance ......" Tang Siqi repeated silently in her heart, and couldn't help but smile, although it was autumn, it was still far from now, but at least she had hope, she was working hard during this time, maybe she would make up her mind earlier......

Xiao Wanyao and Tang Siqi had a heated discussion about the wedding in the Xuanshu Palace, and Xiao Wanyao also recorded all the differences, and the rest was still very successful with the joint efforts of the two.

"Holy Lord, please see, these are all the points where you and I have disagreements, Wan Yao has listed them, how do you think to deal with them?" Xiao Wanyao presented the gold-sprinkled thin note in her hand with both hands.

Tang Siqi took the thin note, and after reading it, he said: "If the widow doesn't want to make concessions, what should you do?" ”

Xiao Wanyao replied: "The method is simple, it depends on the attitude of the saint." ”

"You say." Tang Siqi became interested again.

"If the saint uses the identity of the Son of Heaven to suppress Wan Yao, Wan Yao has nothing to say and obediently obeys; If the Holy Lord discussed with Wan Yao as a negotiator and expressed his own opinions, Wan Yao was willing to continue the discussion until a solution was found. ”

Tang Siqi applauded Xiao Wanyao's words, and praised her: "This time, the widow was completely persuaded by you, and it is really boring to press you as the Son of Heaven, so it is better to use the old rules to play chess and use winning or losing to judge winning or losing." Tang Siqi said, then asked Xiao Lizi to get the chessboard, after Xiao Lizi set up the chessboard, Tang Siqi took out the sunspot from the chess basket and said to Xiao Wanyao: "I have long known that this chess piece is going to be commonly used, so I often let Xiao Lizi wash it with snow water, how can you see it?" ”

Xiao Wanyao picked up a sunspot, and the feeling of holding it in her hand was extremely moist, and the luster it looked like was also moist.

"Originally, it was made of high-grade black jade, but now it is also stained with some snow water transparency, compared with before, it is indeed a lot moisturized, and the saint really has a heart." Xiao Wanyao said with a smile.

"If you like it, the widow is in a good mood today, Mo Yuzi will give it to you, if you win, the style of your sister's phoenix crown on the wedding day can be determined, if you win two games in a row, all the dishes during the banquet will use the menu you have drawn up." Tang Siqi rarely made concessions, because although he insisted on his opinion, even if he retreated, there was no loss, so he could be so bold, but Xiao Wanyao could think so, but he couldn't say that.

"The saint is so generous, Wan Yao must also go all out." Xiao Wanyao said, the sunspot has settled on the corner of the chessboard, and a competition has finally begun.

Separated by a heavy curtain, the two fought fiercely on the chessboard, Xiao Wanyao was a Jedi several times, which was extremely thrilling, it can be said that the game is a war of wits and courage without gunpowder.

Since entering the palace, Xiao Wanyao has been reading chess games when she has nothing to do, in order to avoid the key choice, Tang Siqi has to use the outcome of chess to decide the choice, she wants to control her own destiny, she must learn to control the overall situation, lose when she should lose, and win when she should win, so as to avoid Tang Siqi from playing chess to put her together.

Xiao Wanyao discovered the benefits of watching chess games, and now that the two games of chess are over, it is also apparent, she and Tang Siqi lost and won one, no one lost anyone's face, and no one suffered a loss.

"Holy Chrysostom, you won't go back, right!?" Xiao Wanyao asked.

"Naturally not, the widow will write you a will now, and if you take the decree to the Garment Division, they will listen to your arrangement." Tang Siqi didn't get angry when he saw the draw, but just said calmly: "It's okay, so that you and the widow are responsible for one thing, and each of you is relaxed, and the rest of the things will be handed over to Xiao Lizi, let him go to the people of the Ministry of Rites to negotiate!" ”

Xiao Wanyao got a holy decree like this, and couldn't help but sigh a sigh, this game can be regarded as a drill! Such things may happen again in the future, but fortunately, she is relatively leisurely, she raids to watch chess games all day long, and she has also comprehended a lot of essence, but Tang Siqi is not as idle as her, and she can read chess games all day long.

Xiao Wanyao took the holy decree and personally ran to the garment division, and when she went, Xue Tianao happened to be there to measure the clothes.

"Huh?" Xue Tianao was naturally surprised to see her here, so he couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing here?" ”

Xiao Wanyao originally wanted to pretend that she didn't know him, but when people took the initiative to talk to her, Xiao Wanyao couldn't be too stingy, so she replied: "Back to Xue Gongzi's words, Wan Yao's sister's big wedding is imminent, and Wan Yao is here to make the phoenix crown for her sister." ”

Xue Tianao looked at Xiao Wanyao for a long time, and asked in disbelief, "You are your sister?" Is your relationship that good? ”

Xue Tianao's statement is also a little more euphemistic, which means bluntly: You and Xiao Wanrou are incompatible, what does she care about you when she becomes a parent? Why are you so concerned about her affairs!?

Xiao Wanyao also heard what he said, and couldn't help but wonder why she was so concerned about the affairs of a person she hated, and there was only one reason why she thought about it. I1483
