A banquet in the Ding'an Hou Mansion was burned by the fire of the Shiwei Building before it began, and the Bai family and others sent the guests away, and the old lady Ma ordered them to disperse on the grounds of fatigue, but left Yingluo alone.

Everyone in the house retreated, and the room that was still crowded for a while suddenly seemed extremely empty, Yingluo stood in the flower hall with low eyebrows, and Songzhi placed a brocade cushion embroidered with pine crane patterns on the ground, Yingluo stepped forward and knelt down again, and saluted Ma Shi who was sitting on the Luohan bed again.

She kowtowed, but Ma, who was sitting on it, did not shout, Yingluo could feel Ma's gaze falling on her body, sharp and full of pressure, inquiring and slightly disgusted.

Yingluo had long thought that Ma was Song's aunt, and three of Song's children were raised by Ma's side since childhood. What's more, the Ma family has no shortage of grandchildren Cheng Huan's knees, and the grandchildren can't hurt it, so they don't care about her and her younger brother.

Therefore, Yingluo was prepared for Ma's dislike, and she didn't plan to waste time and energy on Ma in the morning, she only tried not to be pinched wrong, thinking that she was Su Dingwen's blood after all, even if Ma didn't like her anymore, he wouldn't deliberately dig a pit to make a stumbling block with her.

At this moment, Yingluo knelt soft and humble, Ma stared at Yingluo but her face sank like water, her eyes were sharp, seeing her deferential, biting her lip slightly, her low eyelashes couldn't help trembling, implying timidity, obviously her body could not support it, and she was crumbling, but she still knelt straight and didn't dare to fall, for a while she couldn't tell whether this granddaughter was really scared or pretended.

Only she was a bystander, and she wanted her to believe that this granddaughter was weak and bulliable, and it was a coincidence that Song's several bad lucks were all coincidental, so she grew this age in vain.

Ma suddenly snorted coldly, touched the teacup in his hand and threw it on the sandalwood kang table with gold trim on the side, and said coldly: "Framing my mother-in-law, persecuting my sister-in-law, as soon as I came back, I caused a lot of turmoil, hum, you don't have to pretend to be weak and innocent in front of me, there's no need for that!" ”

Yingluo's body couldn't help shaking, and she didn't pretend to be weak and harmless, she also knew the necessity of not pretending in front of the old lady, at that time she could fool the Song family just because the Song family knew Su Yingluo too well before, and she was careless about the enemy.

And the old lady had never seen Su Yingluo, who was deceived everywhere before, but she only witnessed the process of the "murder" of the Song family and Su Yingzhen, and she preconceived that she was a scheming, insidious and cunning person, how could she be fooled by casually pretending to be pitiful and innocent?

The reason why she was obedient and crumbling was just to tell Ma that she had just recovered from a serious illness and her body couldn't support it, and if Ma didn't want her to fall into the notoriety of treating her granddaughter as soon as she came back, it was best not to think about giving her Ma Wei now.

Therefore, Ma's words Yingluo did not distinguish a word, but her body shook again, and a layer of fine sweat oozed from her forehead.

Seeing her kneeling and not speaking, Ma couldn't help frowning in surprise, so he snorted coldly and said, "Don't speak?" Is there nothing to say, or is he guilty of the crime? Or curse my old woman in your heart? ”

Yingluo raised her head and looked at Ma's at this time, and then lowered her head and said: "Persecuting my mother-in-law, framing my sister-in-law, this crime is too serious, my granddaughter doesn't dare to admit it, only my grandmother is an elder, and my grandmother doesn't dare to argue when she says this, so as not to anger her grandmother." The granddaughter did not dare to curse and resented her grandmother, it was human nature to be different from relatives, and the granddaughter had been mentally prepared for this, and did not complain about her grandmother, and because the granddaughter was not completely innocent, there was nothing to justify. ”

Yingluo's words were neither humble nor arrogant, and the expression on her face was extremely calm, which made Ma stunned, and she would never have thought that Yingluo would dare to make it clear like this.

She stared at Yingluo for a while and couldn't speak, only to feel uncomfortable being blocked by the anger, and only slapped the kang table in the middle of the sound, and said, "You still don't dare to argue?!" If I just say the last sentence, you can say a lot of things, which is really clever! With such sharp teeth, do you still have a little bit of a woman who should be supple and virtuous?! ”

Yingluo owes herself, and says, "Follow your grandmother's reprimand, and your granddaughter will no longer argue." ”

"You!" Ma raised his hand and pointed at Yingluo, the muscles on his face trembled, and he squinted and said, "What a filial granddaughter who doesn't fight against each other, but has a needle and a stick!" That's it, I don't have the blessing to enjoy this filial piety with a granddaughter like you, and you don't have to come to me in the future to settle the province in the morning and dusk, I just don't have your granddaughter, go down. ”

This ancient Pepsi filial piety comes first, if she can't come to the old lady to save the morning and dusk, it will really be a bad reputation, which is equivalent to pushing people to death for a girl in the house, but hearing this, Yingluo's expression has not changed, and she is still calm.

Ma was taken aback, and saw Yingluo slowly pull up the sleeves of her shirt little by little, revealing the old wounds on her arms, and said: "Although my grandmother is tired of my granddaughter, my granddaughter still wants to tell my grandmother that everything in the world has a cause before it can have a result. ”

Yingluo's skin is very fair and delicate, when it is really as white as snow, smooth as fat, so it seems that those scars are particularly shocking, the sun is cast from a row of lattice windows, the spots of scars reflect the hideous and terrifying, this kind of scars appear on the outside of the man's body, just present in a house lady of the house, that is really dazzling, frightening.

Ma never expected that the Song family would dare to torture the concubine so much, and he could be stupid like this, staring at Yingluo's arms on both sides, staring at his eyes and opening his mouth for a while, unable to speak.

The hand hanging by her side was clenched tightly, and the old tendons on her head collapsed, and after a moment she said in a deep voice: "I'm tired, stand down." ”

Yingluo owed her body again, calmly withdrew her arms, lowered her sleeves, stood up on her own, and only exited the house after blessing her body.

She went out, but Ma picked up the pastel lotus tea cup on the kang table and fell to the ground angrily, the porcelain was torn apart, and the big girl Songzhi who was waiting in surprise knelt on the ground and said: "The old lady is angry, the fifth girl is just a junior, so there is something ignorant, the old lady teaches slowly, why should she be angry with her body." ”

Mama Duan, who was standing beside Ma, waved her hand at Songzhi and said, "You go down first." ”

Songzhi got up and retreated quickly, and Mama Duan looked at Ma's who was clenched with anger and said, "The third lady may be confused for a while......

Songzhi only thought that the old lady was angry with the five girls, but Mama Duan knew that the five girls had just come back, and they had only seen the old lady once, and they were a little disobedient, but they would not be angry with the old lady like this.

People are emotional animals, and those who have never been in their hearts, even if they do something that makes them hateful, the most they can get angry about and go back is that, where is it worth being so excited. Mama Duan saw that the old lady was more angry, disappointed and shocked at this look.

Sure enough, Mama Duan's words made Ma snort and interrupted: "Confused for a while? What an idiot! Is she going to ruin the door of the Hou Mansion? Leaving such a handle, will the child not marry in the future due to his injuries? This marriage, with such a wound, is simply a proof of the ready-made improper style and meanness, and it has to be criticized that my Su family is vicious and mean. For their children's bloodline and can be like this, who would dare to have a sincere relationship with the Hou Mansion? That child is a daughter of an inner house, where did such an injury come from? You don't have to think about it to know! If San'er's political enemies and colleagues know about this injury, does San'er still want to go out and walk around? Do you want to be an official in the court? I thought that Ruxin was a smart and transparent person, but now I realized that it was ...... It turned out to be ......"

Ma Shi was speechless angrily, and slapped his hand fiercely on the kang table.

She loves the Song family, but this love can't compare to her own son, not to mention, the descendants of the Ma family see that only Su Dingwen is angry, and he can go far in the official career, how can the Ma family allow the Song family to destroy her son like this.

What's more, the Song family is a concubine, just so disregarded, stupid, it can be seen how strong the jealousy is, how heavy the desire to control zhì is, I thought it was a supple and virtuous character, but now it seems that it is simply competitive, sharp and vicious, this kind of temperament, I don't know how many grievances my third son has suffered over the years.

Ma was not so much angry as disappointed and shocked, feeling sad to be coaxed and unworthy of his former love for Song.

Mama Duan saw that Ma's anger was not light, and she also knew that this time it was really the Song family who did too much, and it was not a word or two of persuasion that could make Ma's anger dissipate, and she was finally afraid that she would be angry with Ma's, so she changed the topic and said: "These five girls look like they are smart, but how can they do foolish things, what good can she get if she offends the old lady, isn't she afraid that the old lady will turn her head and tell the third master what she has done?" ”

Ma Shi sank his face, sighed, and said: "If you want to say that you don't understand this old thing as well as her little girl, she is bent to welcome me, and she will be able to win my blue eyes every day in front of me?" It's just going to make me more disgusted, she must have seen this clearly and didn't bother to do that superficial article with me, and she simply picked it out. Whenever she coaxes me and fools me, I can also teach and punish in the name of punishment, as long as there is a fig leaf in the way, it is nothing, but she has come up and made everything clear, and I am not good to act like this again, and if she is so, it will really be a vicious grandmother who is tormenting her granddaughter. She was born after death, and what she said just now seemed to admit it, but in fact, she didn't say anything at all and didn't admit anything. She sued me for how to frame my mother-in-law? Or do you admit how to persecute your sister-in-law? No, she didn't say anything, what can I sue her in front of San'er? What's more, San'er is not that confused person, do you really think he doesn't have a little in his heart? ”

Ma Shi sighed again as he spoke, and said, "Alas, this matter is still too much for Ruxin!" But a concubine, she has thousands of means to make the concubine suffer unspeakably, even if she pretends to be sick every day and asks the concubine to pour tea and water with the front, so that she doesn't even have the time to breathe, that is also the filial piety that the concubine should enter. Even if she is in charge of the affairs of her concubine's relatives, she has to be able to see it on the surface, so that people can't make mistakes. This concubine's relatives are not as good as their concubines, and no one can say anything about her. But she doesn't think much about it, and she tries her best to use some means that can't be put on the table! But as long as she can move some thoughts, so that people can't blame it, it is the girl who said that the sky is crazy, and only people accuse her of disrespecting her mother-in-law, even if San'er talks to me, I can defend Ruxin, but she ...... That's it, that's it, let's go with San'er's wishes. ”

Ma Shi said and waved his hand, but he really didn't want to care about the Song family anymore, Mama Duan was stunned, and she really felt that the five girls were smart and transparent, so she tore it apart, and suddenly made the old lady disappointed and chilled with the third lady. If the fifth girl pretends to be pitiful and innocent, it will only make the old lady even more disgusted, and if the eldest girl and the second girl and the two young masters cry and make trouble in front of the old lady for two days, how can the old lady leave the third lady alone.

This five girls are really daring. This move is really dangerous, but it is also very wonderful. With such a means and such a look, it is no wonder that General Zhenwei's wife is highly regarded as a great martyr, and she will not die, and she can't say that there is really any unexpected good future in the future.

Mama Duan was chattering, but the voice of Songzhi sounded outside, and said, "Old lady, the prince is here." ”

Ma Shi was still worried about the things outside, and when he heard that Su Dinggong was coming, he hurriedly cleaned up his expression, sat up, and said, "Quick, please come in." ”

Mama Duan was also busy cleaning up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, and when she made tea again, Su Dinggong had already seen the ceremony and sat down on the circle chair.

Mama Duan put down the tea cups separately and bowed out, guarding the door of the room in person.

In the room, Ma Shi stared at Su Dinggong and frowned and asked, "What the hell is going on, how could the good food building catch fire?" ”

Su Dinggong still had a slight sweat on his forehead, obviously he had just come back from outside to inquire about the news and went directly to the old lady's Fulu Courtyard, he drank half a cup of tea before saying: "Didn't the prince of King Jing go to Suizhou to treat the epidemic some time ago?" Later, some people in the court impeached King Cheng for taking people's lives in Suizhou and setting fire to the village regardless of the lives of the people. It's just that Suizhou is far away from the capital, and the prince of King Jing was not in the capital at that time, there is a lack of evidence, and King Cheng's relief and resettlement of the flood at that time was quite proper, and it can be regarded as a meritorious service, so the matter is over. I thought that this matter was over, who would have thought that King Jing returned to Beijing with more than ten people, saying that they were all innocent at that time by King Cheng caught into the epidemic village and almost set fire to death, and now these people are going to follow the Beijing to sue the emperor, no, people just entered the capital, to the downstairs of the food taste, the fire burned, I heard that although those people have the protection of King Jing, they also died two, and injured several. ”

Ma Shi listened to the slight gasp and said: "Shiweilou is the property of Princess Cheng's mother's family, this is the handiwork of King Cheng?" How dare King Cheng be so bold? No, King Cheng is too hasty to do this, don't recruit himself, although King Cheng is a little more irritable, but he shouldn't be so stupid and impulsive......"

Su Dinggong also said: "What my mother said is that depending on the child, this matter is not the handiwork of King Rui, but the other princes...... But the matter has come out, I'm afraid that it must be done seamlessly, and this basin of dirty water will probably have to be deducted from King Cheng's head. ”

Ma Shi nodded, frowned again, and said, "What are the seven princes doing today looking for the concubine of the third family?" Have you asked? ”

Su Dinggong took another sip of tea, moistened his throat and said: "I asked, the third brother asked in person, the child said that the last time the Seven Princes of Puji Temple saw him being beaten by a group of small chiefs, the Seven Princes couldn't see it, so they specially threw the little Chiefs back to the house with gouging out their eyes and tongues, and then the Seventh Prince left Suizhou, today I heard that the three rooms returned to Beijing, and suddenly remembered this matter, the Seven Princes said that they would make decisions for him that day, so they didn't worry about the promise to come and see it in person, and there was nothing else important. ”

Su Dingwen just briefly mentioned the Song family's abuse of the children of the concubine with the Ma family, focusing on the absurd things of the Song family and the traffickers trying to steal Yingluo out of the house, such as the little things such as the Seven Princes helping Su Jinghua get angry, Su Dingwen did not mention it in detail, in the end, it was all a shame, and Su Dingwen did not want to mention more.

Now that Ma Shi heard these things, he couldn't help but be even more angry, and he reluctantly suppressed it before saying, "Is it really just for this little thing?" ”

Su Dinggong rubbed his forehead and said: "These nobles are idle all day long, moody, who knows how to take care of this matter, there is also a moment of boredom, and it is expected that Brother Hua is only the third brother and the seventh prince." ”

Ma Shi nodded at this time and said: "These days, the court is only afraid that it will be uneasy again, you control the children of the Hou Mansion, don't go out and run around if you have nothing to do, and the county lord of Mingxia ...... In the end, it was because you came to attend your daughter-in-law's birthday banquet in our house that you suffered an unjustified disaster, so you quickly packed up some things and went to the palace to apologize in person. ”

Su Dinggong's face suddenly didn't look very good, obviously dissatisfied with the Bai family's trouble for the Hou Mansion, and endured it, before saying: "This matter is saved by the son, and the mother is not worried, and rest, the son is gone." ”

Ma Shi waved his hand, and Su Dinggong saluted and retreated.

At this moment, Qin Yan had already entered the palace, and the marquis was waiting for the emperor to summon outside the Chengqian Palace, and the emperor in the palace had already taken the first step to get the news that the food building was on fire, and listened to the great eunuch Chen Houshi report to General Yingyang asking to see him, the emperor's eyes narrowed, he did not raise his head, and after reading a book in his hand, he threw it aside, and then said: "Xuan." ”

In a moment, Qin Yan strode in in a dark iron armor, the sunlight hit the armor, the dark scales flashed with the cold light unique to metal, black and cold, and the rope sounded, casting a long shadow on the clear marble floor in the hall, striding tall and tall, heroic and compelling.

The emperor looked at the figure that walked in, his eyes were heavy for a while, Qin Yan had already walked to the hall, knelt down on one knee calmly, saluted and greeted, and the armor on his body hit the sound of a clang.

Emperor Dafeng Tianxi is nearly fifty years old this year, although his temples have been dyed with hoarfrost, but his complexion is extremely ruddy, there are no wrinkles on his face, he looks younger than his real age, he is of medium stature, his facial features are not very heroic, and he has a kind smile on his face, at first glance, he is no different from the rich and noble man of ordinary people.

is only at the top of the power all the year round, but his eyes are always domineering and sharp, and the imperial aura hidden under the kind smile is revealed from a pair of slightly squinted eyes, he is wearing a bright yellow Nine Dragons imperial robe. The robes and nine dragons are finely embroidered with holy silver threads, silver wanders between the noble imperial yellow, shaped like a real dragon swimming in the sky, the sleeves of the robe are rolled around the roaring river water, the dragon robe is sprinkled, the magnificence reveals the majestic momentum, the kind and ordinary appearance is set against the backdrop of this yellow robe, but it can no longer be mistaken for half a point, it is really a yellow robe, the king of the world and a hundred responses.

Emperor Tianxi stared at Qin Yan as soon as he entered the main hall, and when he bowed, he said in a gentle voice, "You have done a good job on two errands this time, get up." ”

Qin Yan's voice was low, and he didn't say much, only said, "Yes." With that, he stood up, and stood in silence.

The emperor glanced at him and muttered for a moment before saying, "Who do you think did the fire in the Shiwei Building?" ”

Qin Yan met the emperor's gaze, his figure stood still, and said: "As soon as the minister led the people to the Shiwei Building, the fire burst into the wind, the fire window fell, hit the horse, and the people fled, some people fished in troubled waters and pretended to flee from the shops on both sides of the Shiwei Building, and rushed straight to the more than a dozen witnesses protected by the ministers, punching and kicking the vital points, and under the pushing, the fleeing people became more and more panicked, the witnesses were killed and injured seven, and three murderers who pretended to be ordinary people were caught, two of them bit the poisoning pill and killed themselves, only one person survived in time, and the minister had ordered someone to escort the criminal department. As for who put the fire in the food building, the minister couldn't guess it, and the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department could not be checked by the Jingzhao Mansion, and the emperor also had his own holy judgment, but it was not the duty of the minister. ”

The emperor heard that he just told the truth about the food building, but he didn't say a word, but he laughed for a while, and said, "Can't guess? Don't guess, right? Shiweilou and Chengwangfu are closely related, the fire of Shiweilou is involved in the people of Suizhou to go to Beijing to sue the emperor, the crowd is excited, at that time Chengwang is the target of the public, if the king of Cheng wants to kill people and destroy the mouth as early as outside Beijing, how not to do it, but to make waves in the capital, more than a dozen people who went to Beijing to sue the royal court in the end only killed and injured seven, Chengwang is so stupid, not helpful? ”

The emperor said that his eyes had sharpened, Qin Yan's figure still did not move, and only said: "The minister has a festival with King Cheng, the minister said that King Cheng is not so stupid, the emperor Xu will think that the minister is coy, the minister said that King Cheng is so stupid, the emperor will feel that the minister declares personal vendetta, if the minister says that King Xu is Cheng used the most stupid method to play a big play, that is, self-pollution to achieve the purpose of framing others, the emperor is only afraid that he will feel that the minister is ill-intentioned, so the minister does not guess, and he can't guess." ”

When the emperor heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Self-defilement to achieve the purpose of framing others? Oh, why didn't I figure it out, what else could he achieve by defiling himself except to make his reputation worse and be impeached? ”

Qin Yan said in a deep voice: "If this matter is investigated in the end, if it is done by King Cheng, and then it can't be found out, will the emperor think that King Cheng is not so stupid, this matter must be framed, as for who framed King Cheng, the emperor guesses, and it is bound to have suspicions among other princes." And since the emperor believes that King Cheng was framed, he will naturally feel guilty about King Cheng, King Cheng originally disregarded people's lives, fish and meat Suizhou people, the emperor was angry, because this guilt is not against this anger, how can King Cheng's self-pollution be unprofitable. ”

The emperor stared at Qin Yan but laughed loudly, and said, "According to what you say, there is no need to investigate this matter, and in the end, it will be confused, and it will definitely not be understood?" ”

Qin Yan naturally heard the ridicule in the emperor's words, but he only said in a deep voice: "The emperor has his own decision. ”

The emperor suddenly narrowed his eyes and said solemnly: "I'm afraid that there is one more possibility, and that is you, Qin Yan set this fire!" ”

Since Qin Yan came in, the emperor spoke softly, and suddenly his voice sank at this moment, and the voice suddenly echoed in the empty hall like a morning bell and a dusk drum, which was really full of deterrence, and the emperor's murderous and domineering spirit were all in this drink.

Qin Yan's figure didn't move at all, he didn't even move his lowered eyelids, and only replied in a calm voice: "The minister didn't, the emperor is clear." ”

The emperor stared at Qin Yan closely, and said half-loudly: "Okay, you have been away from Beijing for almost a year, and the Empress Dowager has asked people to ask three times, if you don't come back, the threshold of the Chengqian Palace will also be flattened by the palace people sent by the Queen Mother." Let's go and meet the Queen Mother, talk to the Queen Mother, and I will go over to dine with the Queen Mother for a while. ”

Only then did Qin Yan kneel down on one knee again and bow, and withdrew from the Chengqian Palace.

His footsteps went away calmly, and the emperor leaned back on the dragon chair, raised his hand slightly and rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "In your opinion, what he said is the truth?" ”

Chen Houshi, the chief steward of the palace, has been standing by the emperor's side, he has been hanging his eyelids like an invisible person, and at this moment he was suddenly asked by the emperor, and he was shocked before he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the old slave is a eunuch who is even a broken body, where can he investigate this important event in the court...... Only according to the slave, under the emperor's thunder and deterrence, the prince can still deal with it calmly, without a weak heart, presumably it has nothing to do with this matter, and the prince has been away from Beijing for almost a year, but I am afraid that my hand will not be able to stretch out so long, that Shiweilou is the land of King Cheng, and he must not be able to move his hands and feet. ”

The emperor didn't open his eyes when he heard this, until he seemed to be asleep, and only after half a sound did he hear the emperor sigh and say: "I am old, and the princes under me have hardened their wings one by one, and each has its own mind and unscrupulous means......"

Chen Houshi was startled, knelt down with a puff, and said tremblingly: "The emperor is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the princes are all civil and military......"

"That's it!" The emperor opened his eyes and waved his hand to interrupt Chen Houshi's words, and said, "Zeng Guanghua, the secretary of the Xuandali Temple, and Zhuge Qingfeng, the secretary of the Criminal Department...... What is Lao Qi doing these days? ”

Chen Houshi then raised his body and replied: "His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince doesn't seem to be busy with anything since he returned to Beijing, most of the time he is in the palace, oh, it seems that a few days ago, he was still accompanying the noble concubine Niangniang to visit the imperial garden, by the way, it seems that His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince bought a garden in Xishan, and he is busy renovating the garden during this period of time, and it seems that he went out of the city to see it in person a few days ago." I haven't been there again in the past two days, but I took people to the southern suburbs to hunt early in the morning, no, I went out of the palace early this morning. ”

The emperor was surprised when he heard this, and said, "Buy a garden?" What did he buy the garden for? That's it, Jing Zhao Yin Song Zhiming did nothing, and he made such a thing, and he was dismissed and never reused, so Lao Qi hung up the title of Jing Zhao Yin, and Ming'er went with Zhuge Qingfeng and Zeng Guanghua to investigate the case! ”

Chen Houshi was slightly stunned, then he was busy, kowtowed again, bent over and retreated.

Ciyun Palace, the dormitory of the Empress Dowager Fu, the yellow glazed tiles shine under the blue sky and blue sky, showing the royal spirit.

Qin Yan stepped on a steady step all the way into the Ciyun Gate of the Ciyun Palace, the courtyard built a red pillar and green tile copy verandah, there are a lot of rare flowers and trees under the corridor, there are a few bird cages hanging under the eaves, raising some brightly colored and quiet birds, Qin Yan went all the way along the hand copying verandah to the Yongshou Hall where the Queen Mother lived on weekdays, and there were already palace maids running forward to spread the news.

Qin Yan walked through the corridor to the corridor in front of Yongshou Hall, and the henchman who was waiting for the Queen Mother greeted her with a smile on her face, and when she saw Qin Yan, she wanted to bow on her knees, and said: "The Queen Mother heard that the prince entered Beijing today yesterday, and she has asked five or six times since the morning, and she heard that there was a fire on Sitong Street, and she almost had to take a car to the palace gate to welcome the prince, and this time it was almost a year, and she was back." ”

Shui Mama is the queen mother before the marriage in the boudoir used to the old man, followed the queen mother into the palace, all the way together, for the queen mother after combing for life unmarried, loyal, is the queen mother's most confidant person, this year is nearly sixty years old, full of hair.

Qin Yan naturally wouldn't let Shui Mama salute him, and without waiting for Shui Mama to bend her knees, she hurriedly stepped forward and held Shui Mama's arm, and said, "Aunt Shui, how are you doing lately?" How is my grandmother? ”

Although Qin Yan is the grandson of the Queen Mother, because he was raised by the Queen Mother, the love of his grandchildren is extraordinary, so he has always called the Queen Mother his grandmother.

Mama Shui stood up in accordance with Qin Yan's entrustment, and replied with a smile: "Okay, good, all the old slaves are good." It's just that the queen mother is not very cool, the prince does not listen to the queen mother's words, and has to run to the place where the epidemic is diseased, the queen mother is worried about the prince these days, she has some spleen and stomach imbalance, insomnia and dreams, the prince is now back, and the queen mother should be cured without medicine, the prince will go in with the old slave, oh, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is also there, waiting for the prince. ”

Yongshou Hall is the place where the Queen Mother lives and feasts on weekdays, five halls open up, the pond in front of the palace is full of mountains and stones, the flowers and trees are verdant, the pines and cypresses are the mainstay, the sycamore magnolia and so on surround the five halls, the four seasons in the morning and dusk, the spring and autumn fruits.

Qin Yan entered the Yongshou Hall, directly bypassing the large screen of twelve fans on both sides of the landscape, facing the heating, the Queen Mother is old, a little afraid of the cold, and now she has burned the silver frost charcoal, and the ground has also been covered with a thin dahlia velvet blanket.

The Queen Mother wore a homely dark purple sleeve jacket with a flower-sprinkled Chase sleeve with a pine crane longevity pattern, and a horse-faced skirt embroidered with various colors of entangled peonies, sitting on the Arhat bed by the window, with half-white hair tied in the most ordinary round bun, with two mutton fat jade inlaid rubies on the top of the flat square, with an autumn fragrance warm hat with mink trim embroidered with bamboo patterns, she was slightly stretching her neck to look out, and when she saw Qin Yan coming in, her face suddenly sank, she turned her body to look out of the window, and became angry without saying a word.

The eldest princess was wearing a silver-red round neck and a slanted placket sprinkled with jade and white flowers, a true purple plum blossom skirt, a pink pearl red gold head, a graceful and luxurious face, looking at the Queen Mother who had turned around with a smile, she raised her finger at Qin Yan and said invisibly, "Old child, be angry, hurry up and coax it." ”

Qin Yan stepped forward a few steps forward and knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Grandmother, my grandson is back, my grandson shouldn't ignore my grandmother's intentions and have to go to the epidemic place, my grandmother is worried day and night, and my grandson is wrong." ”

The eldest princess slapped her thigh and exclaimed: "Oh, my son, this is really thin and out of shape, this Suizhou has made a disaster, is there no one to eat......"

Before the eldest princess finished speaking, the Queen Mother, who had been twisting her body and keeping a calm face, couldn't help but turn her head back, and said repeatedly: "How can you lose weight?" Mourning family look at ......"

The Queen Mother turned her head and saw Qin Yan kneeling on the ground, although she was a little dusty, but she was still stronger, she didn't understand that she was deceived by the eldest princess, and she stopped when she said it, glared at the eldest princess but didn't turn around anymore, the eldest princess covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, and Shui Mama also said with a smile on her face: "The queen mother asked several times a day, and now that the prince is back, she is up again, don't you know that the prince is ten clumsy tongues, if you wait for the prince to say good things, the queen mother will be angry, Don't get off the stage anymore, you can find an old slave to move this ladder. ”

As soon as Mama Shui said, the eldest princess and several maids serving in the palace covered their mouths and laughed, where can the Queen Mother still hang a heavy face, pointed at Mama Shui and said: "You old man will expose the old bottom of the family all day long, it's terrible, this is really a big bully!" ”

Everyone laughed again for a while, and the Queen Mother raised her hand at Qin Yan and glared at him: "What are you doing on your knees, hurry up and show your grandmother!" ”

The corners of Qin Yan's lips also had a soft arc, and he stood up but did not step forward, but said: "My grandson is covered in dust, and I will go to bathe first and change into clean clothes, and then come to talk to my grandmother." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, "Go ahead." ”

Qin Yan turned around and strode out of Yongshou Hall, he grew up in Ciyun Palace since he was a child, and now although he has already moved back to King Jing's Mansion, there is still a courtyard in Ciyun Palace for him to stay on weekdays, he hurriedly bathed and changed clothes, and when he returned to Yongshou Hall, he had taken off his armor and changed into a straight-placket robe embroidered with gold thread pines and cypresses.

The palace maid moved the armchair next to Luohan's bed, Qin Yan sat down, and the queen mother took his hand and asked carefully about the things outside this year. Qin Yan patiently replied one by one, and the Queen Mother saw that he really took good care of himself, although he was injured, but now it is all over, so she said: "This time when you come back, you have to give your relatives whatever you say, otherwise you don't want to mourn your family and let you leave Beijing." ”

When the eldest princess heard this, she glanced at Qin Yan, who was sitting upright and did not answer, and said to the queen mother: "In the past few days, the chrysanthemums in my princess's mansion have bloomed just right, and I see that it is the Double Ninth Festival. I must find a good match for Ah Yan. ”

She took a sip of tea, suddenly raised her eyebrows and smiled, and said: "By the way, the girl who saved An An in Suizhou last time seems to have returned to Beijing, and her daughter will also invite her to come when the time comes, so I have to thank this child well." ”

The Queen Mother also nodded when she heard this, but the eldest princess looked at Qin Yan and asked, "Did Ah Yan say it?" ”

Qin Yan always felt that the eldest princess looked at her very strangely, and for some reason it made people a little flustered, her eyes flashed slightly for a while, and she said, "Aunt is looking at it." After that, he got up and said to the queen mother, "The grandson will also go out of the palace to settle those frightened people, and the grandson will go out of the palace and come back to accompany his grandmother for dinner." With that, he saluted, and strode out.

The Queen Mother had such eyesight, how could she not see Qin Yan's abnormality, and as soon as he went out, he looked at the eldest princess and said, "What's the matter?" ”

The eldest princess covered her lips and smiled, blinked her eyes, and raised her lips and said, "Xu is enlightened, who knows." My daughter held a flower-viewing banquet to take a good look. ”

The Queen Mother laughed and said, "Tell me more about that girl, what is her name?" Is it the girl from the Ding'an Hou Mansion? How old is it and what is the temperament? But a person who can take care of people? What does it look like? ”

The eldest princess saw that the queen mother couldn't finish asking questions, so she interrupted with a smile: "This is really the emperor who is not in a hurry to die the eunuch, look at the queen mother's panic." I haven't seen this person either, it's the concubine of the third room of the Ding'an Hou Mansion, out of the outer room, my father just entered Beijing from the Suizhou prefect and waited for a vacancy, and he should be able to rise one liter. Danyun's girl met once, saying that she was a very outstanding appearance and good temperament, but the queen mother also knew that Yun girl was a babbling girl, and what she said may not be reliable. When the time comes, I will bring someone to show the queen mother. ”

The Queen Mother's eyes were still shining, but when Qin Yan's marriage was finally settled, she couldn't help but feel a little excited after listening to the words of the eldest princess, and said, "Born in the outer room?" This identity is lower in the end, you see, as long as the person is a good character, it is good to carry a side room first, as long as he can like it, only this person can not be a demon, I am afraid that I will hurt the masters, and then I will marry a wife in the end. ”

The eldest princess naturally agreed, and the mother and daughter talked about the Double Ninth Festival banquet in the palace again.
