There has never been a shortage of gossip and gossip in the streets and alleys of the capital, and now the marriage between Huai'an Houfu and Wang Shangshufu will naturally be greatly discussed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Around this incident, in addition to the bride's stupidity, the groom's illness, and Xi Cui, the dowry maid who was named by her in-laws, was talked about a lot. Of course, the credit of Monk Huineng is indispensable here, but the fame of this old monk is still quite remarkable. rushed to this, when the queen ordered to summon her future nephew and daughter-in-law, she also specifically mentioned Xi Cui, which means that it is obvious that Xi Yunting had better bring Xi Cui with her when she enters the palace.

Madame seemed to have foreseen this matter, so she packed her purse and sent it away, and the eunuch explained the etiquette in the palace to Xi Cui with Mama Wu. Xi Cui cursed the old monk Huineng while gritting his teeth to study. The rules in the palace are complicated, and they are simple when they are simple, which is nothing more than kneeling when they see the master, their eyes only staring at their feet, and their ears only listening to the master's orders. But these may not be difficult for her, a sensible maid, but what about Xi Yunting? The key is that the will said that she would follow Xi Yunting to meet her, and did not mention Mrs., in other words, there were only two people, she and Xi Yunting.

Seeing that Mrs. didn't care about her face, Xi Cui didn't dare to say it although her mind was full of questions. It was so tormented that the sedan chair in the palace arrived at the door the next day.

It seems that Hou Ye is still as worried as Xi Cui, otherwise he would not have taken leave to watch them go out early. Xi Cui looked at the family of three standing at the door, and Xi Yunting, who was sitting next to him because she was full of joy when she entered the palace, except for the lady's face that looked quite peaceful, Hou Ye's face was worried, Xi Yunjian was strange these days, and he would blush inexplicably when he talked to Xi Cui several times, and this time he actually showed a reluctant expression to himself, which is too abnormal! Xi Cui quickly looked away......

The carriage stopped when it arrived at the palace gate, and you can't sit in a sedan chair when you enter the palace gate.

After getting off the sedan chair, Xi Cui heard Xi Yunting shouting before she could stand firmly, "Xi Cui, look, there is a very good-looking brother over there!" Xi Cui's heart jumped to her throat suddenly, is this young lady planning to cause trouble for her from now on?

In line with the principle of not looking at or listening to the safest life, Xi Cui suppressed Xi Yunting's urge to rush over, "Miss, have you forgotten what we said on the road?" This palace is the place where the emperor and the queen mother, let's go to someone's house as a guest, and we can't care about what we see or hear, because it's someone's business......"

"I know, we are well-read ladies. Don't touch other people's things, that's what my mother and brother said yesterday. But I didn't think about anything, I just saw that brother was good-looking, can't we go with him? Xi Yunting pulled Xi Cui's cuffs and began to be coquettish.

"Miss......" Xi Cui was about to speak, but found a figure leaning over, with a gentle wisp of medicinal fragrance.

"You're Miss Xi, right? I'm Wang Shaoyan, let's go in together, okay? This voice and Xun are like a spring breeze, which really makes Xi Cui's heart beat a little faster, and then look at this man, although his face is pale but smiling, although his body is thin, he can be regarded as tall, Wang Shaoyan! Uncle! This is the aunt that Madame found for Miss! Xi Cui looked at the young lady's cheerful smiling face, and then looked at the uncomplicated pampering in the man's eyes, and couldn't help but feel relieved, and then deliberately slowed down and followed behind.

Wang Shaoyan naturally felt her move, glanced at her with a smile, and nodded, sure enough, she was measured.

To say that this Huineng monk really has two sons, think about it, although his young lady is like a child, it is not close to anyone, but now he can do this with the young master of the Wang family only for the first time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is born with fate. Xi Cui smiled as she thought about following behind......

Wang Shaoyan is not good at the end, and he is a little unbearable after walking a few steps, but fortunately, the queen has already arranged a step to wait, and the person who is waiting with him is also eye-catching, and when he saw that he began to sweat and his steps were weak, he hurriedly beckoned him over. Wang Shaoyan looked at Xi Yunting apologetically, "Brother Wang's body is not good, I can't go forward with you, let's just talk and walk together, okay?" ”

Although she was a little regretful, Xi Yunting still nodded, looking at Wang Shaoyan with a worried face, "Brother, are you sick?" My mother said that if you are sick, as long as you take medicine, you will be fine. Don't worry about ......."

Wang Shaoyan smiled and patted her hand on the side of the step, and the two of them comforted each other very tacitly.

How good would it be if Mrs. was at this time? How fortunate such a husband is for the young lady!

After Wang Shaoyan got on the foot, the speed of everyone was obviously much faster, and when they arrived at the queen's Kunning Palace, the two big palace maids were already waiting at the door, seeing that one of them greeted them with a smile, and the other said goodbye and went back to report to the mother.

Wang Shaoyan leaned down and got out of the sedan chair, smiling and greeting the palace maid, who seemed to be very familiar. Xi Cui listened to him call the palace maid Hua Jin, Hua Jin helped Wang Shaoyan to Xi Yunting's side, looked at Xi Yunting with a smile, and then looked at Xi Cui, didn't say anything but led them inside.

"Is Shaoyan really here?" A call full of concern accompanied by the eunuch's voice, "The queen is on the ......" Xi Cui hurriedly pulled Xi Yunting to kneel, although Xi Yunting had been warned that she would encounter this kind of scene, she was still startled. Xi Cui obviously felt that she was holding her hand and began to sweat, and she was still trembling......

"Let's all get up...... the queen's gaze swept over everyone and found Wang Shaoyan after a short stop on Xi Yunting and Xi Cui, and then walked to Wang Shaoyan's side with a smile and took his hand, "A few days ago, your father said that he wanted to recuperate, why did he have to come with him today?" Isn't it because someone said something that made you think about it too much? As he spoke, his gaze swept to Xi Yunting's side again.

Wang Shaoyan smiled and clenched her hand, "What did my aunt say this?" I'm about to get married, do I want to see my aunt between marriages? Is Shaoyan so ignorant? ”

"You...... That's it, it can't make people feel distressed! The queen didn't let go of Wang Shaoyan's hand as she spoke, but just took him inside. There was movement around him, and Xi Cui secretly raised his head and glanced at the queen. I saw her wearing a bright yellow cloud satin woven colorful flowers and flying butterfly brocade dress, covered with a light smoke gold silk curled veil, thousands of green silk pulled into a heavenly bun, verdant rubies inlaid with infinite light gilded phoenix hairpins, the golden steps between the buns shook finely, and every sound seemed to sing thousands of flowers. She is the only woman in the world!

Xi Yunting obviously couldn't calm down in the panic, Xi Cui held her hand tightly, and the two of them could only support each other and go with the flow.

Finally arrived in the inner hall, the queen helped Wang Shaoyan to do a good job, and then walked to the top and sat down. The two big palace maids were on the side, and a few eunuchs were standing at the door, and now Xi Yunting and they were still standing there. The queen didn't seem to intend to give them a seat directly, but just watched the two girls stand awkwardly.

Xi Cui knew that she must be dissatisfied with a nephew and daughter-in-law like Xi Yunting, after all, she was the only seedling in their Wang family, no matter how much in the eyes of others, Wang Shaoyan was precious in their hearts. As the old saying goes, other people's crops and their own babies are said to be this principle. Now his precious nephew can only marry a stupid daughter-in-law, which is somewhat awkward in the hearts of ordinary people, not to mention that this is still the current queen!

It's okay to stand like this, but Xi Yunting can't. Xi Cui began to beat the drum in her heart, this queen had better stop it quickly, marriage is an ironclad matter, and it is not only the reputation of the Hou Mansion that makes Xi Yunting ugly at this time. But these thoughts Xi Cui can only hope that the queen will figure it out herself, if she dares to say this, she is looking for death.

"Auntie, no matter how curious you are about my daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door, let her sit down first, if she is scared and refuses to marry me, who do you ask me to marry?" Wang Shaoyan knew that the queen was sad, so she let out vent for a while to see that the time was almost up, and hurriedly paved the steps for everyone to step down.

Xi Cui finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, Xi Yunting was holding her hand that was already soaked with sweat, and she knew that the young lady was frightened. The queen coughed lightly, "It's that the palace is in a hurry, so Miss Xi should also sit." ”

With permission, Xi Cui hurriedly pulled Xi Yunting to thank her, retreated to the chair opposite Wang Shaoyan, helped Xi Yunting sit down, and then stood aside in a proper manner.

The queen looked at Xi Cui, "You are Xi Cui?" ”

Hearing the queen call herself, Xi Cui hurriedly bent down and was about to kneel, but was stopped by Xi Yunting. She pressed Xi Yunting's hand, smiled at her, and saw that she didn't mean to follow her, so she turned around with confidence, walked to the middle and knelt down, "Queen Mother, the slave is Xi Cui." ”

"Raise your head, Hongu and see." The queen sat on a high place, looked down at Xi Cui and slowly raised her head, seeing that her eyes did not look directly at herself, but quietly looked at her nose, and nodded with satisfaction. Although she looks average, it is really a rule as Mrs. Wang said, such a girl is the most suitable to have a room, her identity is also suitable, and her temperament is also suitable. It is said that the Huineng monk gave this girl a good life, even so, wouldn't she be able to prosper Shaoyan's life with Shaoyan? If that's the case, then give her a boost, and it's okay to give it to an aunt.

Of course, Xi Cui didn't know what the queen was thinking, she could only kneel and raise her face to let the family choose a pet to look at it carefully, while clenching her fists and deepening her hatred for Monk Huineng.

While the queen was watching, another shrill cry of a eunuch came, "The emperor has arrived!" ”

What to do? Xi Yunting is still sitting on the chair! Seeing that the queen got up and stopped looking at herself, Xi Cui hurriedly climbed a few steps to Xi Yunting's side, took Xi Yunting's hand, and whispered, "Miss, kneel down to Xi Cui's side, just like just now!" ”

Hearing her words, Xi Yunting quickly knelt down, leaning on Xi Cui and not daring to make a sound. But in her heart, she hated this palace so much, she had already been asked to kneel several times after coming for a while, and she never had to kneel at other times unless she was punished when she made a mistake when she was at home. If it weren't for the fact that her mother said that she would be beaten if she didn't kneel, she wouldn't kneel. She only dared to think about it like this, she was still more afraid than dissatisfied, she had never seen such a big battle.

The emperor's entourage of eunuchs was left outside the door, and in addition to the chief eunuch beside him, there were also the three princes and princesses who supported his arms on the left and right. Although Xi Cui didn't look up, he knew that the emperor was already standing beside the empress when he saw the bright yellow golden boots that passed past him. "Let's all get up, I just heard the third child say that Shaoyan came over today, why are you afraid that your aunt will embarrass your daughter-in-law?" The emperor's voice was a little sickly hoarse, and Xi Cui had also heard that his body was getting worse day by day, which seemed to be true.

After the emperor finished speaking, he sat down first, and then saw that everyone was still standing, and then spoke again, "Empress, you didn't scare the children, did you?" Look at it, you don't dare to sit down! After laughing a few times, he began to cough. The old eunuch on the side hurriedly handed over a clean veil.

"Didn't you hear the emperor speak? Sit it all down. The queen gave an order, and Xi Cui quickly pulled Xi Yunting up and helped her sit in the seat just now. The princess sat on her hands and watched them. The third prince smiled at Wang Shaoyan, but his eyes looked at Xi Yunting. At this moment, Xi Yunting was obviously frightened, her face was a little pale, her watery pair of apricot eyes quietly looked around, her small nose was slightly upturned, a little squeamish and a little cute. With her aqua blue lotus leaf flowing cloud tunic skirt today, her delicate figure is full of hands, if she didn't know who she was in advance, she would just sit like this, and whoever looks at it is a little beauty who is gently verdant. Look at the maid standing next to her, wearing a green skirt with a big maid in the Hou Mansion, with a simple maid's head, no matter how you look at it, she is a yellow-haired girl. If it weren't for Huineng's approval of the order, Nangong Yufeng saw it with his own eyes and confirmed it by him, he would never have believed that this inconspicuous little girl in front of him could have such a good life.

"Third child, take care of your eyes!" Although she didn't like Xi Yunting, she was Shaoyan's daughter-in-law, and she was stared at like this by other men, and the queen's heart was still uncomfortable.

Only then did the third prince realize his faux pas, and quickly bowed down to plead guilty, but the queen ignored him. The emperor gave him no words, and the princess gave him a "you deserve it" look, and continued to look at them unscrupulously. This is the advantage of being a woman, you can look at women at will. The pair of masters and servants in front of her are actually nothing special, those women in the palace are really idle and can't catch a gossip and chase hard, which makes her curious, and she pesters her father to take her over to see, but after looking at it, it is just a girl like herself.

"There are a lot of rumors about you in the palace, and I don't think you are any different." In the end, she is a princess who is loved by thousands of people, and she doesn't have to detour at all when she speaks, and she can say whatever comes to mind.

Xi Yunting didn't really understand what she said when she heard her, she wanted to ask, but she remembered her mother's instructions to discuss with Xi Cui what she said and who she said in the palace. So she looked at Xi Cui, Xi Cui looked at the princess's innocent face, thinking that Miss Fang Cai was also scared, and she could speak slowly, so she didn't stop it. With Xi Cui's permission, Xi Yunting's big round eyes immediately stared at the princess, and she said with a smile, "What did you just say?" I didn't get it. Could you please say it again? I promise to listen. I was thinking about something else just now, and I didn't pay attention to what you were saying. ”

The princess looked at her childish but sincere smile, and suddenly her heart warmed, there were many faces in this palace that were more delicate than this face, but there had never been such clear eyes. couldn't help but laugh too, "If you don't understand, forget it, my name is Chaoyang, they all call me Princess Chaoyang, I like you, you can call me Chaoyang." ”

"I like you too, Chaoyang, your name is so nice. My name is Yun Ting. Xi Yunting smiled and took Princess Chaoyang's hand, and the child smiled happily, "Xi Cui, you see that I am still the same and I am liked everywhere." ”

Xi Cui smiled and didn't say anything, just looked at her.

Princess Chaoyang raised her eyes and looked at Xi Cui, "You are Xi Cui?" Looks younger than me......" Suddenly, Princess Chaoyang's face pulled down, looked at the third prince, and then turned her head to look at the emperor, "Father, Yun Ting is a female guest, it's not appropriate for the third brother to sit here like this, right?" Originally, I said that you would come and leave when you sent your father, why did you sit still? Xi Cui's nervous heart finally let go, it seems that Princess Chaoyang is a good one, since Xi Yunting is her friend, she will think about her friend, it seems that this time there will be a princess and Wang Shaoyan will not be too sad in time.

The third prince stared at his sister-in-law, with a look of disbelief. Is this really my own sister who is a fellow mother? How did you dismantle your own stage like this at this time? But the emperor and empress's face was obviously displeased, and if he didn't leave, he would be looking ugly. But it was not his style to suffer dumb losses like this, so he stood up and made a gesture of farewell, but he didn't stop, "Father, so it's really time for the sons to leave, but it's not appropriate for Chaoyang to stay here, right?" Shaoyan should also be considered a foreign man, right? Chaoyang, a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, sits with people like this, doesn't it break our royal face? ”

"......" The emperor looked at the pair of children below, did not say anything for a long time, and finally just looked at the queen, and the queen only shook her head, as if she did not comment on it.

"Third brother, what you said is not right, Wang Shaoyan is the maiden nephew of the queen mother, that is Chaoyang's cousin, where does the difference between this brother and sister come from? Besides, my eyes haven't fallen where they shouldn't have been since I came over, can you see me glancing at others at this time? What about you? Chaoyang glanced at the third prince and ignored him.

"Speaking of which, it's still my business that tires the emperor and your cousins, isn't it, cousin? Now that my matter here can finally be solved, the emperor and aunt can rest assured in the future, it is rare for my cousin and Yun Ting to fall in love like this, and the three princes will let them, don't frighten my little daughter-in-law, otherwise I can really only beat the single......" Wang Shaoyan stood up with a smile and returned the salute to the third prince. The third prince took it with a smile and went out.

Only then did the emperor carefully look at the weak Wang Shaoyan in front of him. Thick eyebrows raised slightly, a pair of eyes as clear as morning dew, a straight nose bridge, if it weren't for the drag of years of illness this should have been a handsome and extraordinary man, just to deal with it appropriately, and the alertness of improvisation is definitely very unmatched, and then think of such as today's initial decision, all kinds of waste to be revived, at this time he is even more thirsty for talent, in the face of such a smart seedling, how can he not be a pity......
