At the beginning of the summer, one of the tribes of the Western Turks, the Turgish, sent an envoy to Chang'an, asking for surrender. The rest of the tribes www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion are ready to move, waiting for the opportunity to set foot in the Tang Dynasty again.

In order to prevent trouble, the emperor thought for a while and sent Xiao Ping to lead troops to the frontier. This is not a beautiful job, the Tang Dynasty troops are far less powerful than the increasingly strong Turks, and the border soldiers have been lazy a lot in recent years, if the Turks are all ready to attack, the first to bear the brunt is the army led by Xiao Ping.

Not long after Xiao Ping set off with his troops, his father Xiao Zhizhong was promoted to Zhongshu Ling.

On that day, Queen Wei invited Xiao Ping's wife into the palace to accompany her and gossip together in the summer.

Zong Xian put on light makeup, her complexion was good, her expression was soft, and she was attached to the luxurious queen, and she followed suit.

The queen walked to the edge of the Taiye Pond and watched the fish swim back and forth smartly under the lotus, with a smile on her face, "Not long after you and Xiao Ping got married, the sage transferred Xiao Ping to the frontier, and I really can't stand you." ”

"What did Niangniang say, Xiao Lang can serve the saint and Niangniang, and it's too late for Xian'er to be happy. Not only Xian'er, but the entire Xiao family is proud of Xiao Lang. Zong Xian's words were quite sincere.

The queen nodded, very satisfied, "Xiao Ping is blessed to be able to marry your daughter-in-law." Let's go, play a game of chess with Hongu. ”

In the corridor, the palace maid has set up the chessboard, put the black and white flags on each side, prepare tea and snacks, and quietly wait for the queen and Zong Xian.

The queen and Zong Xian sat opposite each other and played chess. The queen's chess skills are good, and Zong Xian has also studied and practiced piano, chess, calligraphy and painting diligently since she was a child, and she is quite famous among the nobles, but she still feels a little difficult to play against the queen. Not long after, Zong Xian was already passive, even though it took a lot of effort, she was finally eaten to death by the queen.

"Niangniang is amazing, Xian'er lost." Zong Xian couldn't help but look frustrated, no matter how hard she tried to turn the tide, she still lost in the end.

"Hahaha - your chess skills still need to be improved." The queen laughed, her eyebrows fluttering.

Zong Xian chuckled and said generously: "Xian'er must study hard when she goes back." Although he was smiling on his face, he had secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must study hard and practice hard when he goes back.

"Alas, when it comes to chess skills, Xiao An, who still belongs to your Xiao family, is the most subtle, but it's a pity, the beauty died early." The queen lamented that the child had played a lot of chess with her, and that it was a great inspiration for her to play chess.

Zong Xian lowered her head slightly, and her tone was calm and soft, "Sister An was already quite famous in the early years, and it is rumored that she also shined in front of the Tubo envoy, earning enough face for our Tang Dynasty. Xian'er is not blessed, and she has no chance to play a game with her, otherwise she will definitely gain a lot. ”

"Yes, pity Xiao Aiqing's middle-aged widow. Come to think of it, this palace still owes the Xiao family a marriage contract. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

The queen smiled, "This palace has joked with Xiao Aiqing before, Xiao Anxiu is wise, and it is most suitable to marry my cousin." Bengong has been looking forward to it for a long time, thinking that as soon as the matter at hand is over, the two of them will be married, so that Bengong and Xiao Aiqing will be in-laws. ”

"I see, but ...... Xian'er heard that Sister An had been with Niangniang's younger brother...... Buried together in the marriage, in this way, in a sense, the Xiao family and the mother's family are already in-laws. ”

"Hmm-" the queen shook her head and waved her hand, "it's pointless when people die." ”

Zong Xian is a smart person, and it can be seen that what the queen cares about most is that the in-law relationship with the Xiao family is not justified and worthy of the name. Xiao Zhizhong clings to the queen, and the queen doesn't entrap Xiao Zhizhong.

But...... If you want to get married, it's not easy. Zong Xian was witful, and said unhurriedly: "In fact, the Xiao family also has a daughter, who is more beautiful than flowers, smart and clever, and now it is the worry of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and she thinks about finding a good family for her every day." ”

"Oh?" The queen was obviously interested, "How did I hear that Xiao Aiqing only has one daughter?" ”

Zong Xian said with a smile, "Niangniang doesn't know, this daughter is the niece of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, she lost her father and mother since she was a child, and she has been raised in Xiao Mansion, and her father-in-law and mother-in-law have always treated her as if she were her own child, and her friendship is the same as that of Xiao Lang and Sister An." ”

"And this matter......" the queen muttered when she heard this, as if she was thinking.

"That child is also a poor person, the family was implicated in the post-martial arts period and was brought into the lowly ranks, but fortunately, my mother-in-law, her aunt, has always taken her with her to raise her personally......"

"That's not a problem," the queen raised her eyes, the corners of her mouth were quite meaningful, "The identity can be changed, I think she and my cousin are very compatible." ”

…………

Shaw House.

The luxurious and luxurious carriage stopped at the side door, and the energetic Zong Xian stepped off the carriage with the support of the maid, her skirt was gently elegant, and her posture was graceful.

As soon as he entered the mansion, a eunuch walked over and saw Zong Xian hurriedly greeting, "Yo, Mrs. Xiao is back." ”

"My father-in-law is here to deliver the message, right? There is Lao Gonggong. ”

The eunuch smiled, "Congratulations to Mrs. Xiao, your mansion is really a happy event!" ”

"It's all up to you, father-in-law." This person is a celebrity beside the queen, how dare Zong Xian slack off.

"Hey, hey, it's ruining our family!" The eunuch's face was red, and he shook his fat hand with a smile, "That...... Let's go back to the palace first, Mrs. Xiao is resting. ”

"Father-in-law walks slowly."

Zong Xian watched the eunuch disappear in front of him, and then continued to enter with a smile.

Inside the hall.

A room of servants did not dare to come out, and their expressions were different.

Xiao Zhizhong sat on his seat, and on the table was a bright yellow holy decree, silent, and fell into deep thought. Chen Huan'er on the side sat slumped on the chair, her face pale and her face was greatly lost.

Everyone knew what Fang Cai's holy decree meant to everyone in the Xiao family.

Zong Xian walked in, glanced at Chen Huan'er, who was pale and weak, and blessed Xiao Zhizhong, "Father, my daughter-in-law is back." ”

"You know everything, right?"

Zong Xian nodded, the smile on her face seemed to be nothing, "Such a great thing, look at my cousin who is so happy that the six gods have no master." The queen went to your lowly status, and from today on, you were accepted as a daughter by the Xiao family and became the daughter of Zhongshu Ling. From a cheap slave to a noble girl, this is flying on the branches! ”

No one answered Zong Xian's words, but she still stared at Chen Huan'er meaningfully. When the husband left, he said that he was not allowed to embarrass Chen Huan'er, and it was best not to disturb her, he would remember her goodness. Oh, in the past few months since marrying into the Xiao family, she Zong Xian almost walked around when she saw her.

Even if she had done this, she didn't necessarily see her husband step into her room.

After a long time, Chen Huan'er struggled to stand up, moved her lips, and her voice was surprisingly trembling and desolate, "I won't marry unless I die." ”

She shuddered, as if fleeing.

In addition to a group of servants in the house, only Xiao Zhizhong, who was silent, and Zong Xian, who was smiling, were left.

"You're smart." Xiao Zhizhong on the seat finally pulled the corners of his mouth and raised his eyes to look at her.

This daughter-in-law is not simple, he has been secretly observing her for a few months, not only forbearance and self-control, but also knows how to be far-sighted.
