That is, she has a hunch that she can't have a grand wedding in her life, maybe not even a wedding, so she naturally pins her expectations on a person who is related to her, although unfortunately, that person hates herself, and she hates her, but after all, the wedding is a very beautiful thing, Xiao Wanyao still hopes that it can be done very successfully.

But what he said was: "It's just to help the saint share his worries." ”

Xue Tianao showed a displeased look, what he hated most was that Xiao Wanyao and Tang Siqi were too close, now it seemed that Xiao Wanyao had just gone to the Xuanshu Hall again, and had said a lot of things to Tang Siqi, Xue Tianao was unhappy when he thought of this, and his face became slightly red because of anger, which made Xiao Wanyao feel very embarrassed when he saw it.

"I happened to meet Xue Gongzi here, what is Gongzi here for?" Xiao Wanyao hurriedly changed the topic and thought of some innocuous words to perfunctory.

Xue Tianao didn't buy it, he was in a very bad mood at the moment, and said to Xiao Wanyao coldly: "What else can you do here besides making clothes?" Can't you see that? ”

The cold voice made Xiao Wanyao embarrassed, obviously she could talk and laugh freely a few days ago, but now she was a different person, and she couldn't help but secretly have a headache about how to deal with this moody man.

Working hard all day long to plan how to go next, it really gave Xiao Wanyao a headache.

Xiao Wanyao saw that she didn't like talking to him, so she didn't hit the muzzle of the gun, and turned back to the aunt in charge of the garment division and said: "This is the will of the saint, for the eldest lady of the Xiao family, Xiao Wanrou has made a phoenix crown and xia veil has been made into a pro-family, this piece of paper is a request, please pay attention to your aunt when making clothes." ”

The aunt in charge took the paper and read it, and said to Xiao Wanyao with a smile: "Second Miss Xiao, these requirements are not difficult, just tailoring, to make the clothes fit, you have to Miss Xiao to come in person, otherwise there is something that does not fit, and the old slave will not be able to afford it at that time!" ”

This problem stumped Xiao Wanyao, because Xiao Wanrou lived in Xiao's mansion and could not enter the palace at will, but making such a set of phoenix crowns with complex craftsmanship required Xiao Wanrou to measure it herself, and she had to try it on many times, and it didn't seem to be in line with the palace rules to enter the palace for no reason so many times.

Xiao Wanyao frowned and thought of a way, but she didn't have any good ideas for a while.

"The eldest lady is not here, you can measure her." Xiao Wanyao turned around, it was Xue Tianao who spoke, he sat on the side, and his words were careless.

The aunt in charge was a little hesitant, but Xue Tianao continued: "The two of them are the same height and body shape, I have seen the eldest lady of their family, and the two sisters are about the same. ”

Xiao Wanyao nodded, thinking about it, it was indeed about the same, so she said to her aunt in charge: "Listen to Xue Gongzi, just do it according to my figure." ”

Xue Tianao saw that she accepted her own mentions, so he raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Wanyao without emotion, and then got up, and Shi Shiran left the ready-to-wear division.

Xiao Wanyao stayed, obediently measured her height and width, and then returned to the Jiaofang Palace.

At night, no one summoned her, and Xue Tianao didn't come to harass her, this time was easy, Xiao Wanyao drank white fungus lotus seed soup stewed with licorice at night, and went to bed early after bathing and changing.

Early in the morning, Xiao Wanyao was summoned by the Queen Mother, so Xiao Wanyao carefully dressed up, she knew some of the Queen Mother's temperament, so she was more careful when dressing herself.

The Queen Mother does not like other people to wear plain colors, thinking that it is unlucky; But I don't like overly bright colors, and I think it's too enchanting and undignified.

So Xiao Wanyao thought about it again and again, and chose an indigo Confucian skirt, thinking that indigo neither looked frivolous nor plain, in Xiao Wanyao's opinion, it was very suitable.

Then she smoothed all her nails with a file, washed her hands with dried jasmine petals, and finally applied her own jasmine balm, and then licorice put a cloak on her, and she set out on her way to the Hall of Eternal Life.

Sitting on the road is a chariot, although the winter has passed, but it is still very cold after staying outside for a long time, fortunately, the licorice is careful, when Xiao Wanyao left, she scalded a hand stove and stuffed it in Xiao Wanyao's hand, so as not to freeze all the way.

Xiao Wanyao had waited for a year when the Queen Mother was sick, so she still knew about this Empress Dowager Xue, but Xiao Wanyao didn't dare to say "understand", the character of the Empress Dowager Xue was too complicated, Xiao Wanyao had been with her day and night for a year, and she still didn't know what kind of person she was.

Xiao Wanyao sat in the chariot and thought about it, and she had the impression that Empress Dowager Xue was knowledgeable, calm, joyful, angry, sorrowful and invisible, and a person who had seen strong winds and waves. But she also has the usual ruthless style of the Xue family, only targeting those who harm the interests of the Xue family and Tang Siqi.

Empress Dowager Xue is an important figure in the balance of the relationship between the royal family and the Xue family, so in the sixth year of Yuan Shuo, Empress Dowager Xue died of illness, and there was chaos inside and outside the court and the opposition for a while.

In the next six years, Tang Siqi has been subservient to the Xue family, and it is thanks to his patience that he can keep the throne, until the thirteenth year of Yuanshuo Tang Siqi really regained the real power, the first thing is to kill Xue Tianao to vent his anger, I didn't expect the Xue family's power to be undiminished, Tang Siqi still has to rely on the Xue family, in order to keep the throne, Tang Siqi had to put the charge of killing Xue Tianao on Xiao Wanyao, and let the Xue family target the Xiao family, which also caused complicated troubles.

Xiao Wanyao also had the opportunity to comb through this matter from the perspective of a bystander in this life, and she couldn't help but sigh, unless she experienced it herself, she couldn't imagine how complicated it was.

Soon arrived at the Yongshou Palace, Xiao Wanyao didn't know why the Empress Dowager Xue suddenly wanted to summon her, although she didn't know the bottom of her heart, she also repeatedly told herself a principle - you can't lie in front of the Empress Dowager Xue, she doesn't have the ability to do it in front of her old man, so if you want to save your life, the best way is to be honest.

Standing in front of the main hall, Xiao Wanyao felt her heart beating wildly, and finally took a deep breath and walked in, at this time Empress Dowager Xue was already sitting on the golden throne in the main hall.

Xiao Wanyao only glanced at it with her spare eyes, but she always lowered her eyes and walked forward, not as casual as Tang Siqi, Empress Dowager Xue is a person who pays attention to etiquette, so looking left and right can only mean that a person is not stable, so the safest way is to cater to Empress Dowager Xue's appetite.

Xiao Wanyao walked to a place not far from the golden throne and stopped, knelt on her knees, first put her hands on the ground, kowtowed respectfully three times, and then touched the ground with her forehead, and her voice was also appropriate: "People's girl Xiao Wanyao, knock on the Queen Mother, may the Queen Mother be blessed and safe." ”

This is an extremely thoughtful etiquette, and in her current status, it is perfect to use it when she meets the Queen Mother for the first time.

"Get up." The Queen Mother only replied lightly, and she couldn't hear whether she was dissatisfied with Xiao Wanyao's expression, as if what Xiao Wanyao did had nothing to do with her, "Come up and let the mourning family take a look." ”

Xiao Wanyao got up, only to find that Xue Qingyi was sitting quietly on the side, and her eyes were also calm when she looked at her, not as with almost crazy hatred like in her previous life.

Xiao Wanyao hurriedly blessed Xue Qingyi, and Xue Qingyi waved her hand at her, signaling her not to be polite, hurry over.

Xiao Wanyao continued to walk over and stopped three feet away from the golden seat.

She still hung her head, and the closer she got, the more respectful she became.

"Come closer, raise your head, and let the mourners see." Empress Dowager Xue said.

Xiao Wanyao took two steps forward, and raised her head to look at the Empress Dowager Xue, who was still very tough at this time, her eyes were full of brilliance, and her black hair had not been replaced by silver threads.

Xiao Wanyao's respect for Empress Dowager Xue is sincere, after all, she has not done anything to be sorry for Xiao Wanyao in her previous life, and when she is alive, she can also guarantee that the world is peaceful.

Empress Dowager Xue took Xiao Wanyao's hand and looked at it carefully, and then her tone softened a lot: "It's a clean child, let's say, what's your name?" ”

Xiao Wanyao was secretly glad that she didn't keep long nails on weekdays, and she groomed it well before leaving, otherwise she would leave a bad impression on Empress Dowager Xue.

"Back to the Queen Mother's words, the people's daughter's name is Xiao Wanyao." Xiao Wanyao replied.

Empress Dowager Xue was thoughtful, and then said, "Xiao ...... Is it the daughter of Prime Minister Xiao Man? Oh, it turned out to be the girl of the Xiao family! Why didn't the draft come at that time, but only entered the palace later? ”

Empress Dowager Xue's attitude towards the Xiao family has always been unclear, Xiao Wanyao does not dare to draw conclusions about this, and the impression is that when Empress Dowager Xue was alive, there was no intersection with the Xiao family, the only intersection was Xiao Wanyao, when Xiao Wanyao was sick, Empress Dowager Xue for nearly a year, Empress Dowager Xue just sighed that her life was not long when her body was not as good as a day, and then said that Xiao Wanyao was pitiful, really pitiful.

Xiao Wanyao never understood the meaning of these words before, knowing that Empress Dowager Xue had passed away for several years, Xiao Wanyao did not understand the meaning of Empress Dowager Xue's sentence "pitiful".

"Back to the Queen Mother's words, the folk girl fell and injured her hand before the draft, and her father gave up this draft because he considered the future of the folk girl." Xiao Wanyao said.

Empress Dowager Xue said: "Then why are you entering the palace again now?" ”

Xiao Wanyao only felt that her temples were "abruptly", how could she speak? Xiao Wanyao knew why Empress Dowager Xue suddenly called herself today, who else could it be if it wasn't Xue Qingyi's idea? Xiao Wanyao glanced at Xue Qingyi with her peripheral vision, she was drinking tea with a relaxed face at the moment.

This woman is really ruthless, once Xiao Wanyao loses her use value for her, she will immediately be ruthless to Xiao Wanyao, and there is no transition period at all.

The corners of Xiao Wanyao's mouth couldn't help twitching, she was also a member of the Xue family, how could Empress Dowager Xue not know that Xiao Wanyao and Empress Dowager Xue's nephew Xue Tianao had a marriage contract? Later, she regretted her marriage for no reason, and now she appeared next to her old man's baby son again, Xiao Wanyao felt that this was not clear at all, and if she was Empress Dowager Xue, she would definitely not understand why such a thing happened.
