Chapter 77: Wild Dogs Fight

Back at home, Xi Yunzhi brought Bu Qin a bowl of rock sugar white fungus, and while serving him to eat, he also confessed to Bu Qin what Gu Ran was teasing and joking in the store yesterday.

Bu Qin stopped stirring the white fungus, turned his head to look at Xi Yunzhi for a while, and then asked:

"When?"

Xi Yunzhi bit her lip and replied: "It was yesterday, I wanted to tell you last night, but you didn't return overnight." ”

Bu Qin thoughtfully scooped a spoonful of soup into his mouth, and curled his lips to Xi Yunzhi and comforted: "Don't worry, I will ask someone to watch him, and I won't let him go to your store again." ”

Xi Yunzhi nodded obediently. I remembered one thing again: "By the way, the queen summoned me to the palace today for the emperor's draft." ”

After hearing this, Bu Qin also said that he knew about it: "Well, it is said that there will be a summer election in August, and many ministers are already looking for candidates." ”

"Didn't the first emperor in the spring just choose once, how could there be so many spare daughters in these adults' families?" Xi Yunzhi was puzzled by this phenomenon.

Bu Qin looked at her and couldn't help but smile: "What are you thinking about all day long?" After a pause, he said: "I heard that this time the Zuo Governor Yushi Mansion will also send someone to choose, saying that it is the sister of Mrs. Yushi's mother's family, can you guess who it is?" ”

Xi Yunzheng's sisters?

Xi Yunzhi turned around in his mind and exclaimed: "Xi Yuntong, there is another Tong'er in the Xi family who is still unmarried, and she is the third lady." Could it be her? ”

If this speculation is true, then the Xi family really wants to turn over and go crazy, and they want to send Tong'er to the palace.

Bu Qin shook his head to express his puzzlement, and asked Xi Yunzhi not to think too much, he would know when the time came.

***

In mid-July, Princess Yu gave birth to a small princess named Ning Xiu. The emperor personally canonized him as the lord of Kangning County and included him in Zongdie.

Xi Yunzhi is now the head of the official wives in the capital, and she was invited to visit Princess Yu and the little princess several times in a row, but she couldn't refuse, so she went to King Yu's mansion with them.

Yuwangfu is located in the westernmost part of the east city, the old house of the former dynasty, the prince was abolished, for a time the court can not come up with anything that can compare with the house built by the prince's mansion, so it bought this house from the people at a high price, although the area is quite large, but the construction style is shabby, it is also coincidental, this house is sold from Xi Yunzhi.

Xi Yunzhi wore a first-class Luan brocade costume, surrounded by everyone, pretending to be noble and cold and walked into the palace of King Yu, and under the leadership of the palace family, he went to the Champs of Princess Yu's confinement.

After Princess Yu heard the porter's return, she deliberately freshened up, sat upright on the bed, and when she saw their group walking in, she smiled at the corner of her mouth, accepted everyone's salute, and thanked her one by one, when her eyes swept to Xi Yunzhi who was smiling at the corner of her mouth, she was obviously stiff, but she also lowered her eyes and smiled at Xi Yunzhi:

"Mrs. Laborer came to visit herself."

Xi Yunzhi sat on the chair placed in front of her bed with a smile, and her own lady came to spread out her skirt for her, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and said: "The princess is happy to be the county lord, the lower lady is here to visit, I don't know if I have the honor to hug the little county lord?" ”

Princess Yu mentioned the little princess, her face moved, and she bent the corners of her mouth unnaturally, and said lightly: "Oh, the little princess was taken to nurse by the nurse, if the lady wants to see her, I will ask someone to bring her." ”

Without waiting for Xi Yunzhi to speak, she called the maid and asked her to carry the little county lord, and the maid took the order and left.

Seeing this, Xi Yunzhi hurriedly said: "No, no, since the little county lord is breastfeeding, then there is no need to disturb." ”

Princess Yu smiled gently, but Xi Yunzhi felt a strong chill: "It's not in the way, the milk can be eaten later, but you can't ask the lady to hold her later." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Xi Yunzhi never knew that there were such mothers in the world, who used such young children to socialize, and even did not hesitate to let their children suffer some sins in order to please others.

Sure enough, not long after, the little county lord who was crying loudly was hugged by the maidservant and was about to be sent to Princess Yu's arms, but she quickly waved away, pointed in the direction of Xi Yunzhi and said:

"Send it over to give Mrs. Decree a hug, if you get the eyes of Mrs., it will be regarded as a blessing for the little county lord."

The maidservant girl sent the child to Xi Yunzhi's hands, and several ladies who came together also came over to take a look, but the little county lord cried, thinking that he was not full yet, so he was forcibly hugged over, seeing her crying pitifully, Xi Yunzhi couldn't help but stretch out his finger and put it on the side of her little mouth, as if he noticed something, the little county lord gradually softened his cry, and his small mouth couldn't help but lean into Xi Yunzhi's hand, and his little tongue stretched out and licked it.

Xi Yunzhi took out a golden lock, two bracelets, and two ankle rings from his arms, put them on the side of the little county lord's swaddling clothes, handed her back to the handmaid, and said:

"Hurry up and send the little princess to feed, it's pitiful to cry."

The maid glanced at Princess Yu, and after receiving the princess's approval, she hugged the little princess back.

Xi Yunzhi said something considerate to Princess Yu again, and then offered to leave. Princess Yu used confinement as an excuse, it was inconvenient to get out of bed to see each other, and after apologetic words to Xi Yunzhi, Xi Yunzhi waved her hand to show that she didn't mind.

When I walked out of the door, I happened to hear the family singing: "Princess Jing has arrived." ”

Everyone was about to go out, and when they heard this, they had no choice but to step aside, Xi Yunzhi deviated slightly, and after a while, they saw a woman in a gorgeous dress with a gauze curtain walking in quickly.

Seeing the large group of people in the house, he was stunned at first, and then looked at Xi Yunzhi motionlessly, Xi Yunzhi saw this, so he took the initiative to say hello:

"See Princess Jing."

But she is now a product, and she doesn't have to salute or kneel when she sees the princess.

Princess Jing's autumn-like eyes stared at her, and after a long time, she said, "It turned out to be Mrs. Bu." It's been a long time. ”

Xi Yunzhi was still a little leaky when she heard her speak, barely held back a smile, and said to Princess Jing:

"It's not a long time, last month in the Imperial Garden, didn't the lower wife just meet the princess?"

When Princess Jing heard her unabashedly mention of her being slapped in the Imperial Garden last month, she was immediately annoyed and angry, and pointed at Xi Yunzhi and said coldly:

"Xi Yunzhi, don't be complacent too early, now it's just the queen who supports you, if the queen doesn't care about you one day, see how I clean you up!"

raised his eyebrows, secretly thinking that Princess Jing had suffered such a big loss, and she didn't even learn to be obedient, unlike Princess Yu, who was bad on the inside, but she had done enough to be soft on her face.

Xi Yunzhi hooked her lips, and pulled off the gauze curtain that Princess Jing covered her face, Princess Jing's lips were red, swollen and bruised, and there was a missing one next to her front teeth, and her mouth and cheeks that had been slapped thirty times by bamboo strips were exposed in front of everyone like that.

Princess Jing screamed in surprise and hurriedly covered her cheeks, but she couldn't cover her mouth when she covered her cheeks, and finally let the ladies who accompanied Yigan and Xi Yunzhi see a big joke.

Xi Yunzhi stepped over and confronted Princess Jing coldly:

"I'll wait."

After finishing speaking, he casually threw the curtain on Princess Jing's face, which was obviously frightened by her momentum, and Xi Yunzhi walked out without looking back.

Princess Jing was so frightened that she came back to her senses, and wanted to chase her out to entangle her, but was stopped by another cold voice in the house:

"Enough, isn't it shameful enough?"

After Princess Yu shouted angrily, she angrily swept a vase beside the bed to the ground, and the fierce color between her eyebrows made her look completely untidy, and she was full of anger, staring at Xi Yunzhi and the other places where she disappeared, revealing a deep anger.

Princess Jing stayed in Yuwang's Mansion for more than half an hour before she walked out of the gatehouse and got into her sedan chair.

After Xi Yunzhi left Yuwangfu, she said that she was going to go to the store, and asked the accompanying ladies to go back first, she asked the carriage to stop in an alley next to Yuwangfu, until she saw Princess Jing walk out of Yuwangfu, get into a sedan chair and leave, she left from the alley.

***

When I returned home, I found that Bu Tan had returned home early today for some reason.

Xiao An was taken out by Bu Chengzong to play and was not at home, Xi Yunzhi went directly to Bu Tan's study, and saw Bu Qin standing in front of the bookshelf looking for something, Xi Yunzhi walked over and patted him on the shoulder, giving him a big smile.

However, he was attracted by a bruise on the corner of Bu Tan's mouth.

"Husband, what's wrong with your face?"

Xi Yunzhi stretched out her hand and touched it, Bu Qin looked at her so condescendingly, she didn't dodge, she didn't cry out in pain, and after a while, she hooked the corners of her lips and said:

"No, I just met a wild dog on the road and got into a fight with him, and it didn't get in the way."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Xi Yunzhi looked at her husband helplessly, fighting with a wild dog, and it was also thanks to what he said, she really didn't like to be buried, and was about to ask again, but she was kissed by Bu Tan violently, she was frightened and ashamed, but also forgot what she was going to say.

"I want to eat glutinous rice sugar cakes at noon, you made them yourself."

Bu Qin pushed Xi Yunzhi's shoulder and asked her to go to the kitchen to make cakes, Xi Yunzhi was pushed out of the study, looking at her husband with a worried look, Xi Yunzhi sighed lightly, went to the room to change into light clothes, and then went to the kitchen.

Who knows, Xi Yunzhi put the glutinous rice sugar cake into the pot, and saw that there were still some fresh lettuce in the kitchen, so he cut two more shreds, thinking that the weather was getting hotter, so he ordered to make a cold lettuce, and after the glutinous rice sugar cake was out of the pot, he took it to the study for her husband to enjoy.

However, pushing open the door of the study, where was there still the figure of the husband, Xi Yunzhi put the tray on the table, and saw the book that the husband was standing in front of the bookshelf and looking at it before, so he walked over curiously and took a look, only to see some martial arts summaries written on it, and the introduction of the sect on that page was actually a martial arts master from the Qi country, Xi Yunzhi didn't know martial arts, and he didn't know why his husband read this, so he went out without even saying hello.

After putting away the books for him, he walked out of the study with a tray again, and happened to meet Xiao An and Bu Chengzong who came back from shopping.

Xiao An left and right a windmill, a rock sugar gourd in his right hand, was held in the crook of his hand by Bu Chengzong, his little face was blushing, and when he saw Xi Yunzhi, he was about to get off Bu Chengzong's hand, flew to Xi Yunzhi, and asked in a milky voice:

"Mother, what are you taking?"

Xi Yunzhi took out a silk handkerchief from under the placket and wiped his sweat, and lowered the tray to show him, Xiao An's eyes lit up when he saw the sugar cake, Xi Yunzhi shook his head helplessly, it was really father and son, they both love sweets so much. Give the tray to the nurse and let her take Xiao An to eat.

Bu Chengzong couldn't leave this great-grandson for half a moment, and he also followed.

***

After entering the palace the next day, Xi Yunzhi heard about it from Zhen's mouth.

"Your husband's temper is too big, Commander Gu just said a word to him, and somehow provoked him, so he pulled Commander Gu to the school field of the Imperial Forest Army to compete, you said that he is also a first-class general, even if Commander Gu said the wrong thing, it is enough for him to verbally reprimand, why do it so seriously. Commander Gu still hangs his arms. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Xi Yunzhi's hand holding the fragrant tea was so stiff there, and after listening to Zhen's words, she reacted, put down the teacup, coughed lightly and said:

"There is such a thing. I, I'll go back and talk to him. ”

Zhen nodded matter-of-factly: "Yes, it's time to talk about it." is so irritable, in this regard, I think Commander Gu is much better than him, at least he won't do it casually. ”

Seeing that Xi Yunzhi was silent, Zhen suddenly seemed to think of something, and secretly whispered to Xi Yunzhi:

"By the way, let me tell you, this Commander Gu seems to have known you before, at that time in the northwest, after he heard your name, he kept asking about you, I told him to the emperor, you have already married, you don't know, he has been lost for several days, and he has a lot of worries all day long."

Xi Yunzhi frowned and was puzzled: "How could he know me?" I've never met him before. He always doesn't have a doorkeeper in his mouth when he speaks......"

Speaking of which, Xi Yunzhi completely understood the real reason why her husband was looking for Gu Ran's bad luck.

She didn't have any radical reaction when she saw her husband, thinking that he had changed his temper, who knew that in his private heart, he still hid such a good hand, it was so speechless.

Zhen Shi stopped talking when he saw that she was halfway through, and rolled his eyes, but he approached Xi Yunzhi again, and asked:

"By the way, there is one more thing, you have to answer me truthfully."

Xi Yunzhi was worrying about her husband's affairs, and when Zhen asked her like this, she didn't know what she was going to ask, so she stared at her and listened quietly.

I only heard Zhen hesitate slightly, and then said: "I heard that one of the show girls this time is a sister of your mother's family, is this true?" ”

It turned out to be this matter, Xi Yunzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and then nodded and said, "I heard that it is, but because she is not here to join me, I am not sure." ”

"Xi Yuntong. Bengong sent someone to find out, her name is Xi Yuntong, do you know her? ”

"......" Xi Yunzhi sighed in his heart, sure enough, it was Tong'er, nodded and said, "I know." She is the concubine of the third room of the Xi family. ”

After hearing this, Zhen couldn't help but ask, "How was she born?" Is it pretty? ”

Xi Yunzhi saw that Zhen was full of interest in asking, thinking that he was asking for information about the 'rival in love', and this was all between them, and Xi Yunzhi had nothing to hide.

"Tong'er is beautiful in the Xi family, hasn't Niang Nian seen Mrs. Xi Yunzheng of the Imperial History? Although Tong'er is not as beautiful and refined as Xi Yunzheng, she is cute and innocent, and in the Xi family in the past, only Tong'er was willing to say a few words to me. ”

Zhen Shi thoughtfully: "In other words, you have a good relationship with that Xi Yuntong?" ”

"......" Xi Yunzhi didn't know what Zhen meant by this, so he replied truthfully: "It's not good." ”

Zhen listened to Xi Yunzhi's answer and fell into deep thought, and at this moment, a screaming eunuch's high-pitched chant came:

"The emperor has arrivedβ€”"

As soon as Zhen heard this, the whole person seemed to tense up, and he stood up from his seat like a spring, and Xi Yunzhi hurriedly knelt down behind her to greet the holy driver.

Since that day's feast, Xi Yunzhi had not seen the emperor in private, thinking of his wandering state in Luoyang City and the general judge Yang Xiao's daughter into her shop, he felt like a world away, and he also realized the truth of the ever-changing world.

"See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live."

After the two saluted, they heard Xiao Luo's calm voice sounding above their heads: "Flat." ”

After Xi Yunzhi and Zhen both stood up, Emperor Xiao Luo did not speak to Zhen first, but walked up to Xi Yunzhi and said to her:

"I thought of taking a walk in the Imperial Garden, but I didn't expect to see my wife. The stone pavilion sent it off, and I haven't thanked my wife in person. ”

Xi Yunzhi smiled gently, bowed his head and replied respectfully: "The emperor is too polite, the stone pavilion is just a friend's duty, and the queen mother also mentioned this matter again and again, which made the wife embarrassed." ”

"Hahahaha, whether it is Madame's contribution, or the righteousness of Shiting Xiangxiang's feeding, I will never forget Madame's high righteousness in this life, and I will definitely write Madame's affection in the annals of history and spread it all over the world."

Xiao Luo's hearty laughter spread throughout the Imperial Garden, Zhen stood aside, his face was a little stiff, but he still looked obedient and polite, Xi Yunzhi smiled gently, not knowing how to respond to the emperor's enthusiastic words, seeing that the queen's face was not good, Xi Yunzhi did not dare to stay longer, even if he asked to leave.

After Xiao Luo nodded in agreement, his eyes were staring at Xi Yunzhi's back, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, not knowing what he was thinking, Zhen stood aside, looking at his appearance, his eyes were unconsciously mixed with cold hatred.
