The queen mother lives in the Liyang Palace, the main hall of the Shicui Palace, the hall is lit with sandalwood, the fragrance is lingering, and before entering it, she smells a burst of sweetness, the palace puts an ice basin, and there is a palace maid who takes a fan to gently send the wind, but it is also cool, very comfortable.

Xia Xue'er was the first time to meet the Queen Mother as a royal daughter-in-law, so naturally she had to go through a lengthy etiquette.

The Queen Mother kept looking at the courteous Xia Xue'er with a smile, and only after the ceremony did she order: "Sit." ”

Bent his knees and thanked him again, and then knelt down on the cushion brought by the palace maid, Mu Xuanlong sat in front of her right, and at a glance, in fact, his back was also majestic, but it was not as safe as Su Qi, Xia Xue'er sighed in her heart.

"I heard you're good at poetry?"

Just when she was distracted, the Queen Mother opened her mouth to ask such a sentence, remembering what Mu Xuanlong said earlier, the Queen Mother doesn't like women who have read too many books, so she replied with low eyebrows: "The emperor's grandmother praised it falsely, and the granddaughter-in-law just sometimes had nothing to do and read a sentence or two indiscriminately, which is not a poem." ”

"And what books have you read on a daily basis?"

Xia Xueer doesn't like to hide in the boudoir and embroider with needles, so when she has nothing to do, she can only read and play chess, and she is quite quick to pass the time, and she reads books regardless of type, four books and five classics, anecdotes, what is interesting to read, and the books she is in contact with are naturally extensive. If you ask her what books she has read, she will lose count!

"When I was young, my father was pampered and never forced me to study, so I only knew a few words, so I wouldn't be ugly."

The Queen Mother nodded after hearing this. The reputation of the third lady of the Xia family is spread abroad, even if she is a deep palace woman and is not well-informed, it is not that she is not blind to the world, and she doesn't know what kind of wind is blowing in the capital at all.

However, she was very satisfied with Xia Xue'er's answer, so she was not inconspicuous, not arrogant or impatient, she was her ideal granddaughter-in-law!

To tell the truth, among the emperor's sons, her favorite is the eldest grandson and the sixth grandson, but the eldest grandson has a bad fate and went fifteen years ago, so she has high hopes for the sixth grandson.

The sixth grandson is ambitious, brave and strategic, the only deficiency is that sometimes he acts too publicly, which follows the temperament of the eldest grandson, and is easy to attract jealousy and secretly make conspiracy, she has been worried about this matter, for fear that the sixth grandson will encounter the misfortune of the eldest grandson!

He is not small, the side concubine who was brought into the mansion before is mediocre, and she is not a person who can solve his worries and solve problems, but this daughter of the Hou family of An Guo is not like this, her eyes are innumerable, and she will not be wrong with this idea of knowing people!

This woman is precious, experienced, intelligent, not arrogant or impatient, the key is that the grandson likes it, and with such a restrained woman beside him, she can rest assured that she is half buried in the loess.

"You're a clever girl!"

The Queen Mother smiled heartily, and then pointed to the grapes on the table and instructed Mama Zhong: "Put this grape on the princess's table." ”

Xia Xue'er bowed her body, put her hands above her head, took the grapes sent by Mama Zhong, and then thanked her obediently.

The two of them had to go to Yuehua Palace to wait for dinner and couldn't stay for a long time, and the queen mother was not in good health, so they didn't dare to bother too much, so they only sat for half an hour and got up and retired.

Out of Shicui Palace, Luo Li was already waiting here, and after seeing Mu Xuanlong come out, he seemed to have something to say, but he looked at Xia Xue'er again, and was a little hesitant, Xia Xue'er saw this, and led Cuizhu and Biluo to take the first step. After they left, Mu Xuanlong also raised his heels and went up, but his steps were very slow, and he motioned for Luo Li to speak.

"Your Majesty summoned the Ministry of Rites in the Chang'an Palace."

"Ministry of Rites?"

Mu Xuanlong frowned after hearing this. He and the five princes are equal in the power of the six departments, the criminal department, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Industry are all people of the five princes, at this time, the father and the emperor privately summoned the Ministry of Rites, and he didn't want him to know, what was it for?

In Yuehua Palace, Concubine Sun Guifei had already prepared her son's favorite pastries, and had already ordered the small kitchen to make purse tenderloin, and Aunt Yunxi was waiting at the gate of the palace early, as if she hadn't seen each other for several months!

As soon as the two of them entered the Yuehua Palace on the front foot, the emperor on the back foot came, and they knelt down and knocked nine times, and they were able to sit down after everything was completed.

It's just that the emperor and Mu Xuanlong are talking, and she and Sun Guifei are also sitting aside, occasionally saying a few words.

When he came out of the palace, it was already dark, Mu Xuanlong did not ride a horse, but rode in a carriage with Xia Xue'er, Biluo and Cuizhu could only follow the carriage.

Xia Xue'er was tired for a day, and didn't want to bother with his energy to fight with him, so she sat opposite him, and she closed her eyes and pretended to sleep as soon as the carriage started. There are subordinates, she is not worried that Mu Xuanlong will do something to her, and she doesn't think that Mu Xuanlong, who can not take advantage of the danger of others when she is drunk like a puddle of mud when she gets married, will come to Hu today!

"Today, my father summoned the Ministry of Rites."

Mu Xuanlong said to himself, he didn't know what the intention of this father was to summon the Ministry of Rites, but he always felt that Xia Xue'er would know, and even if he didn't know, he might be able to give him a little inspiration. However, Xia Xue'er ignored him, her eyes were still closed, and her breath was steady, as if she was asleep, but he knew that she couldn't really be asleep.

"Recently, someone in the court has begun to mention the matter of establishing a prince again, although my father has never responded positively to this matter, but he must have a plan in his heart. The Ministry of Rites Shangshu is a distant relative of Concubine Jingxian, and this matter ......"

Before Mu Xuanlong could finish speaking, Xia Xue'er interrupted him: "Are you worried that the emperor will be bewitched by others and make the fifth prince the crown prince?" ”

Mu Xuanlong didn't answer, obviously acquiescing.

Xia Xue'er opened her eyes and looked at him with some contempt in her eyes. Mu Xuanlong can definitely be regarded as a strategic person, and to be able to get to such a position today, he must have something extraordinary, whether Mu Xuanqin or any prince has never had it!

But how did this man become stupid when he was in a hurry?

Or is it that the authorities are obsessed with bystanders? Because she has never regarded herself as the princess of Qi, and she has never felt that she is in the same boat as him, so can she see it clearly?

Seeing the disdain in her eyes, Mu Xuanlong shrugged his shoulders and asked, "Then what do you think?" ”

Since he was a child, he has demanded that he be superior in everything, let alone inferior to a woman! But for Xia Xue'er, who is better than him, he can't hate it. (To be continued.) )
