Chapter 314: Little Seventeen

Unlike the previous two times she entered the palace, this time Linglong did not wait outside the Yonghua Palace, but after a speech, Yan Xu walked in directly with her.

It's really different when the son sees the mother.

But when they entered, they met a haggard woman, who was in her forties, as if she had just cried, and the makeup on her face was already wrecked, but she could still see that she was a beauty when she was young.

The people who followed her were two palace maids, who were obviously not the women who came to chat with the queen, but should be a master of the harem. Linglong felt that she was a little familiar, as if she had just met her relatives when she was married, but she had seen so many people that day that she couldn't remember which one it was.

She doesn't know her, let alone Yan Xu knows.

Fortunately, the one who knew them, saw them, was stunned for a moment, and embarrassedly squeezed out a smile: "Prince Rui and Princess Rui are here, the queen is waiting." ”

Yan Xu nodded at her and walked in with Linglong, who had no choice but to rush into her body and follow Yan Xu in.

Seeing them coming, the queen smiled and beckoned to Linglong: "Come here, both of you sit beside the palace, let the palace see, have you grown up?" ”

The two sat down, and the queen pulled one in one hand, and said with a smile to Jingyi Nushi who was waiting on the side: "The two of them are really good-looking, and the best-looking pair in these years is them." ”

In fact, several princes were born quite well, and the daughters of the Gu family are even more beautiful, but in the eyes of their mothers, their sons are the best ones.

Yan Xu was so angry that he asked, "Who came to block the queen mother just now?" The child saw a woman go out. ”

The queen sighed: "What kind of woman and woman, how ugly, isn't that Concubine Yang Hui?" ”

"It's her." Yan Xu didn't ask any more

Linglong remembered that this Concubine Yang Hui was the biological mother of the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince. She was only a noble when she gave birth to the fifth prince, so the fifth prince was raised by the imperial concubine at that time, and when the seventh prince was born, she was a concubine and was able to raise her son in person, so although the two princes were born from the same mother, they had very different temperaments and a tense relationship. Yang Huifei's mother's family is even more unstaged. It has long been passed down as a laughing stock by the nobles.

The queen seemed to want to say more. She glanced at Linglong intentionally or unintentionally, and said to Yan Xu: "She cried and wiped her tears, all for King Lu." King Lu wants to carry a woman into the house. Princess Lu refused to agree, the woman was pregnant again, no matter what, it was also royal blood. Concubine Hui called Princess Lu into the palace to persuade her, and Princess Lu agreed on the surface. In private, he left his son to his mother, and King Lu did not follow him, and the two fought from the palace to the palace. made a joke, and Concubine Hui tripped when she persuaded them to fight, and sat on the ground and cried on the spot. Hongu really can't bear to let them be embarrassed again. That's when she was called over and reprimanded. A woman is the most taboo about this, and she has lost her woman's virtue. It makes the house uneasy, affects the elderly, and makes jokes for nothing. ”

The last few words seemed to be for Linglong, and Linglong immediately nodded again and again, well, daughter-in-law understands, no matter how much your son's belly is bigger, he will be silent, and he promises not to make you angry.

Yan Xu glanced at Linglong, and saw that she was listening to the queen mother's nagging attentively, and he couldn't help but laugh.

Linglong remembered the clothes stained with rice soup by King Lu, the seventh prince, and remembered that Gan Ming told her that Concubine Yang Hui's mother's family ate more than a dozen crabs in one go, and combined with what the queen said, it took a lot of effort to not let herself laugh.

As Yan Xu said, the queen really didn't ask about the two concubines, and educated Linglong with insinuations, and sent them out without even leaving lunch.

Before he walked out of Yonghua Palace, Linglong's eyes were sharp, and he saw a child with a small bun sticking out his head behind the door on one side.

"Is that the seventeenth brother?" She asked Yan Xu.

Yan Xu shook his head: "Maybe." ”

Well, it's vain to ask, he doesn't know at all.

Linglong remembered that Yan Xu had said that she should be more kind to Xiao Seventeen, so she beckoned to the little man hiding behind the door and asked him to come over.

After waiting for a while, the child came timidly, he was only five years old, his snow-white face and big eyes flickering, with a little frightened.

Linglong took off the purse she was carrying and poured out a few dried fruits from it: "The imperial sister-in-law dried it herself, and I can't eat it in the palace, give it to you." ”

Xiao Seventeen stretched out his little hand, but looked at Yan Xu on the side again, and retracted his hand again.

Linglong frowned, glanced at Yan Xu, and saw that his face was peaceful, not like he was scaring a child. She smiled and said to Xiao Seventeen, "Your imperial brother won't say anything about you, so go on." ”

As she spoke, she took Xiao Seventeen's hand and put a few dried fruits into his hand.

Xiao Seventeen pinched the fruit, but a pair of big eyes were still staring at Linglong's hand, Linglong was puzzled, looked down, and saw that Xiao Seventeen was staring at several little golden pigs of different shapes on her purse.

It's a shame to say that these little golden pigs were brought by Princess Rui

Now hanging on her purse, even the owner does not dare to suspect that it is stolen goods when he sees it.

Linglong smiled, she liked these little golden pigs at a glance, and she didn't expect this child to like it too.

She simply put the purse in Xiao Seventeen's hand, and said with a smile: "This is given by the imperial sister-in-law, take it to play." ”

Xiao Seventeen's eyes widened in surprise, although he didn't speak, there was excitement in his eyes.

At this moment, a tall and fat palace maid hurriedly walked over, and shouted from afar: "Your Highness Seventeen, why did you run out, go back quickly!" ”

Xiao Seventeen shuddered, as soon as his hand was loosened, the purse in his hand and the dried fruits all fell to the ground, he reluctantly glanced at it, but he still didn't dare to pick it up, and ran away in the direction where the palace maid came.

Only then did the palace maid see Yan Xu and Linglong, she was blessed from afar, and she was saluted, and chased Xiao Seventeen away.

It wasn't until he left the palace and sat in his carriage that Linglong said to Yan Xu: "You also said that Xiao Seventeen is very favored, but in my opinion, it's the opposite." ”

Yan Xu waited for a while before saying, "Don't worry about the affairs in the palace, I haven't asked you yet, have you finished reading those words?" ”

Linglong saw that he didn't want to mention more, so she didn't ask, and when she heard Yan Xu talk about those words, she couldn't cry or laugh, and she didn't know where the person found these things.

"Is this kind of nondescript book popular in the capital now? It's all about the master and the apprentice. ”

Hearing her say the word "indecent", Yan Xu had a cold face, but she still asked cheekily: "What is the content, you say it to this king." ”

Linglong smiled: "There is nothing to talk about, there is a book about a beekeeper who lived alone in an ancient tomb, one day saved a young man, took him as an apprentice, and later married again; There is also a book about a prince who met a little girl who was very good at cooking, and when he saw that she was lonely, he became her master, and later married her as his wife. ”

It's weird and boring

Yan Xu was hurt again, and this king thought it was very interesting, as interesting as he wanted.

One-one-one-one

Little Seventeen appeared, he is an important character in this book, and it will be very important in the future. (To be continued.) )
