Fang Xiaoqin categorically refused all opportunities to meet him on the grounds of physical discomfort, but today the Queen Mother announced that she had to go to the palace with him.

"Today, the mourning family invited the two of you to come over, just to see what you mean by Shunyu and what you mean by Xiaoqin. The mourning family has been thinking about how to place your sister these days? ”

There was no joy on the Empress Dowager's face, and she let out a sigh.

Shun Yu bent down slightly, "The Empress Dowager, let your old man bother, please punish the Empress Dowager." As soon as he finished speaking, the whole person fell to his knees.

The Empress Dowager glanced at Shunyu and sighed lightly, her eyes were already full of helplessness.

"How does the mourning family punish you, in fact, the mourning family understands, Yu'er, you are a child who is actually too emotional. But you've always known how to measure things, so why did you mess up this time? He's your royal brother after all. ”

Shunyu lowered his head and whispered: "The situation that day was special, my grandson saw that my sister was forced by the imperial brother, and my grandson couldn't help but make a move." The only thing that the grandson did not do well was that he took his sister away without being able to explain it clearly. Please ask the Empress Dowager to punish her grandson for her recklessness. ”

In Fang Xiaoqin's opinion, Shunyu seems to be a well-behaved person at this time.

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, and glanced at Shunyu lightly, "Okay, the matter is already clear." Get up and speak, it's not that the mourning family doesn't understand the bitterness in your heart, that's why I called the two of you here today. No matter how the mourning family spreads among the people, the mourning family hopes that the turmoil in this matter can be settled. ”

"Sun Tzu is going to make amends to the imperial brother." Shun Yu wanted to turn around, but was stopped by the Queen Mother.

"If it was a guilty plea, you shouldn't have done it that day. After all, he is the emperor and needs face the most, he has tolerated you all these years, and you should take good care of yourself. In addition to words, the Empress Dowager has a helplessness of hating iron but not steel.

Shunyu, it turns out that you lied to everyone, even your grandmother? Fang Xiaoqin only felt that her heart was even colder.

"Yes."

"I heard that a few days ago, Princess Xiban went to the palace to make trouble? But yesterday she begged to see the mourning family on her own, she admired Shunyu very much in her heart, she apologized for her own behavior, and said that this kind of thing would not happen again in the future, Xiaoqin, what about you? ”

Fang Xiaoqin lowered her head slightly, she completely understood the meaning of the Empress Dowager's words, she swallowed her saliva, "Xiaoqin obeys the Empress Dowager's wishes, Xiaoqin's only hope is that her sister will not be harmed." In fact, has the Empress Dowager forgotten the meaning of greeting her sister. She ......, "Fang Xiaoqin just hopes to fight for some freedom for Fang Xiaoqin, maybe, Fang Xiaoqin may not like Shunyu?"

The Empress Dowager's plain eyes suddenly made a slight wave, and she glanced at Fang Xiaoqin with disdain, grinning at the corners of her mouth.

"Oh, it seems that you're quite good at protecting your sister as a sister, Xiaoqin, you can come out." The Empress Dowager shouted coldly, because there were only four of them in the hall at this time.

Fang Xiaoqin owed a debt, "Slave and maid see the prince, the princess." ”

"Get up." Shun Yu didn't look at Fang Xiaoqin brightly, but the corner of his eye swept her look, he felt that Fang Xiaoqin was a little tired, could it be that his imperial brother was looking for trouble with her?

"Xiaoqin, the mourning family is a fair person, today's affairs, the mourning family gives you a choice, do you choose to stay by the side of the mourning family, or do you choose to go to the Shunyu Palace? The mourning family gives you a chance, but please think about it carefully, no matter what your choice is, you can't have any chance to regret it in the future, if you choose to stay by the side of the mourning family, then you can only serve the mourning family obediently. If you choose to marry Shunyu, the mourning family will not have any opinions, then you naturally have to take good care of Shunyu and be a qualified wife. ”

The Empress Dowager glanced at Shunyu's reaction on the side, this grandson of hers would never show any emotions from him, but it was already at this moment, and he didn't react at all, which was really unexpected by her.

I thought that he had openly taken away Fang Xiaoqin in the imperial study, but naturally he liked Fang Xiaoqin, but he didn't expect him to be so calm. She didn't want another estrangement between their brothers over women.

Fang Xiaoqin leaned over and knelt on the ground, "Slave thank you for the grace of the Empress Dowager, in fact, Xiaoqin thought about it for a few days and still had an answer." Xiaoqin hopes to stay by the side of the Empress Dowager, Xiaoqin has a humble status and does not understand the world, hoping to learn more from the Empress Dowager. ”

"Sister." When Fang Xiaoqin heard this answer, she hurriedly shouted, "Sister, this is about your future, you must think clearly." ”

Fang Xiaoqin has no selfish intentions at all at the moment, marrying Shunyu is just a substitute in the end.

"Sister, Xiaoqin thinks very clearly."

"Is this really your final decision?" The Empress Dowager asked in an indifferent tone.

Fang Xiaoqin hung her head slightly, and replied softly: "Yes, Xiaoqin will not change, Xiaoqin thank the Empress Dowager for giving Xiaoqin the opportunity to choose, Xiaoqin will not regret today's choice." Thank you, Empress Dowager. ”

Although her voice was soft, it revealed her perseverance, but her eyes flashed with a trace of pain, which she could only hide, she could only hang her head lower, so that she could not be discovered.

Fang Xiaoqin continued: "Xiaoqin begged the Empress Dowager not to blame Prince Shunyu, but in fact, the prince was just a good heart. Prince Shunyu is Xiaoqin's brother-in-law, he just doesn't want to see Xiaoqin ...... by the emperor"

Shun Yu coughed softly, because he found a trace of anger between the Empress Dowager's eyebrows, "At that time, in the imperial study, Yu'er saw that her sister was forced to a corner by the emperor. On that day, my grandson asked the Empress Dowager to take in my sister, and if I didn't make a move, then I would naturally fail the princess's trust. It's just that the situation was urgent at that time, and Yu'er didn't handle it properly, so it caused so many gossips. If the Empress Dowager wants to punish her sister, then Yu'er can't escape. ”

Fang Xiaoqin looked at him blankly for Fang Xiaoqin, but it was just something she could understand, not to mention the Queen Mother?

The Empress Dowager just smiled, smiling extremely lightly, "Oh, what do you mean, you don't have the slightest admiration for Fang Xiaoqin?" A trace of doubt flashed in the Empress Dowager's eyes, it is true that this Fang Xiaoqin is so similar to Lin Mengchu, how could Shunyu be so calm.

"Yes. There is only one princess in the grandson's mind, and of course the grandson marries the Xiban princess, so he will naturally leave a place for Ling'er. The grandson will no longer be stumped by the love of his children, and he hopes that the Empress Dowager will learn from it. ”
