"Bell-"

Then the majestic trumpet sounded.

Fu Luhai, the great eunuch of Shouren Palace, ran in with joy on his face, "Queen Mother, ancestor, our Royal Highness King Xuan has returned victoriously, and our Royal Highness King Xuan has returned victorious!" ”

The corner of the Queen Mother's eyes flashed with joy, and with a wave of her hand, she stopped the little father-in-law's words, and said, "Immediately go and find someone!" ”

As he spoke, Mu Jiuxu helped him up and raised his voice: "Let the mourning family take a good look, our Xuan'er's sassy and heroic posture!" ”

In front of the king's tent, Xuanwu Yicheng and Fufeng Yu were arguing, and the octagonal buck's head was still dripping with blood, but it was stubbornly struggling in the hands of the two, regardless of victory or defeat.

Emperor Rende couldn't help but frown.

In today's hunting grounds, there is only one stag, and whoever gets the eight antlers of the buck king is victorious, but he doesn't want Xuanwu Yicheng and Fufeng Yu to win together.

The body of the Buck King was then lifted up, and the red and white feathered swords were shot straight into the chest and abdomen, and the other went straight into the brain, both of which could kill the Buck King.

Yes, it is difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat......

There were already whispers all around.

When the Queen Mother arrived, the envoys of the five countries had already spoken lively.

The envoy of Beiyi raised his voice and said, "...... The white feathers of the six princes of Beiyi shot straight into the middle of the head of the buck king, impartial, and straight to the point, as the saying goes: capture the thief first capture the king, shoot the man first shoot the horse. Naturally, this deer shooting should be better than shooting the head, and I think that the victory of the prince of Fufeng Yu is well deserved! ”

The envoy of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom shook the feather fan of the colorful birds and beasts, nodded with a smile and said, "The envoy of the Northern Yi is right. In the next thought that the winner was naturally the prince of Beiyi. ”

As he spoke, he turned sideways and asked the blue-robed man beside him, "Your Excellency, what do you think?" ”

After getting along for days, it is well known that this middle-aged beautiful man with a beautiful beard and sideburns is the envoy sent by the Xuanwu State - the left minister of the Xuanwu Kingdom, and now the real person in charge of the Xuanwu court.

Emperor Rende also swept his gaze.

The Queen Mother inadvertently pinched the fine silk brocade in her hand.

Xuanwu Zuoxiang smiled and did not say a word.

The envoy of Beiyi laughed "haha", "My prince of Beiyi deserves to shoot his head, what else is there to say." This antler should belong to my family, the prince of Fufeng! ”

"Presumptuous!" The Queen Mother said sharply: "I, Da Yue, will not allow others to talk nonsense. Arbitrary? ”

The Empress Dowager turned to Xuanwu Yicheng and Fufeng Yu and said, "The prince of Fufeng Yu is heroic and extraordinary, but the prince of Xuanwu Yicheng is even more manly. It was a happy event that both of them shot the king of bucks at the same time. As for how it will win or lose. The eight-pointed stag king's antlers belong to which family should be determined by the emperor of my Dayue Kingdom, how can it be said by Your Excellency and other miscellaneous people? ”

The discussion below suddenly stopped, and Emperor Rende secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Smiled at a person carrying a horned buck head, said: "The two virtuous nephews are both good young men, I am very relieved, Xuan'er is my most relied on nephew, Fufeng Prince is the hero of the young man I need the most, the two of them won the head of the buck king today, I am happy but also feel helpless, it has always been a mountain that does not allow two tigers, the two virtuous nephews should understand the truth here, I can not be partial to help or be unfair, and the battle of words is just a woman's law, the man on the battlefield should speak with strength, I think, the two virtuous nephews are not allowed to race a horse again." , the overcomer will naturally get the horns of today's buck king! ”

"Guys, what do you think?"

At this point, whether it was the envoys of the Five Kingdoms or the courtiers of the Great Yue Kingdom, they all gave up their hands and said "yes", Xuanwu Yicheng glanced at Fu Fengyu's small sample obliquely, and also gave up his hands accordingly.

Fu Luhai, the great eunuch who didn't want to Shouren Palace, hurried over, knelt down without saying a word, and said: "Queen Mother, Niangniang, no, the Lord of Qiling County has returned injured, and the seventh lady of the Su family is missing......"

It was Changfang Chen who came out to greet the guests, she saw such a set of golden heads, her eyes were straight, and she was so happy that she immediately called her mother-in-law to send it to the old lady, but after sending it to Changfeng Hall, she was returned as it was.

"The old lady said, the seventh lady is accumulating good deeds, and she can't receive such a valuable gift, and she asks the lady of the Wang family to take it back." Mrs. Wang smiled and passed the word and withdrew.

Chen's face was very embarrassed when she heard this, but she accepted these gifts without any delay, and now the old lady refused and slapped her in the face.

She smiled embarrassedly, "Mother is right, please ask Sister Wang not to embarrass me as a daughter-in-law." ”

Mrs. Wang was very surprised, she had long heard that the old lady of the General's Mansion had always ignored these idle things in recent years, but she didn't expect that the people in the mansion were still in charge of her old man's family one by one, and what surprised her even more was that the daughter-in-law of the long house was so unvalued in front of her old man, and in front of an outsider like her, she actually said so unsparingly.

She looked at Chen's eyes a little more casually, "It's still my sister who didn't think about it, and she only knew how to send some gold and jade vulgar things, which made the Duchess laugh at her." ”

The smile on Chen's lips became more and more far-fetched, and it turned out that these mundane things only caught her eyes.

Chen's face became more and more uncomfortable, but there was no way, she could only honestly accompany Mrs. Wang to taste tea in the hall, and Qi Niang was treating the daughter-in-law of the Wang family in the inner room.

In recent days, she has been taking care of these outside relationships, and You Shi in the second room has been busy.

Within ten days, it was the gift of Siniang, and the old lady handed over the second room to take care of the arrangement, and specially emphasized that the third room and the seventh mother returned to the house, and the banquet must be grand and lively.

Chen's heart was sour, and he was even more angry when he thought of You's triumphant smile at that time.

Last year, they had a gift of the third lady of the long room, because considering the expenses in the house, the eldest lord repeatedly emphasized frugality, but now it is the turn of the second room, but he has not yet started to prepare, and the silver has been allocated several thousand, how can you tell her not to be angry!

After chatting with the guests until three o'clock, the Chen family finally sent this Wang family lady away, and just wanted to go back to Xuanyu Hall to lie down for a while, not wanting to be called to Changfeng Hall again.

Qi Niang also felt a little tired, and she couldn't get a good rest last night. I got up early today, and as soon as I drank a bowl of porridge for breakfast, I was told that the daughter-in-law of the Wang family came to seek treatment, so she hurried over.

After all, it is not good to make patients wait for a long time, let alone for pregnant women who are more than eight months pregnant.

After the diagnosis and treatment, she just returned to Linyu Pavilion to change her skirt and was invited to Changfeng Hall by Granny Wang.

As soon as he walked to the door of the hall, there was a laugh of "hee-hee-ha" inside, Qi Niang was stunned, grandmother has always liked people with good manners, which room and which courtyard are so unruly.

She couldn't help but quicken her pace.

"Come and meet, this is your sixth sister." Just stepped through the hall door. The old lady called her over.

The lower left hand is sitting on the plane of the lady. Wearing a pink embroidered peach blossom tuck pleated skirt, a plain silver hairpin in her hair, and no more jewelry.

But the woman was smiling brightly, and the corners of her grinning mouth were still hanging with traces of tea that had not yet been wiped dry. Although sitting in a carved mahogany chair. But he writhed vigorously. Little feet in light pink embroidered shoes kept kicking the floor tiles.

Qi Niang was stunned in her eyes, although she had a smile on her face, the corners of her mouth were twitching. Instead, he saluted as usual and called, "Sixth sister is fine." ”

"Okay, okay, okay!" Liuniang was even more happy when she heard this, clapping her hands vigorously and laughing and standing up.

Qi Niang's eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly, she subconsciously took two steps back, but she didn't want her sixth sister to step forward and hug her, and she still said vigorously, "Okay, okay!" The saliva from the corners of her mouth kept rubbing against her.

Qi Niang's hands and feet were numb, and she stubbornly endured her impulsive screams.

At this moment, everyone in the house couldn't help but let out an "oops".

The first to react was the woman who had been standing beside Liuniang, she immediately pulled over the crazy Liuniang, her face was embarrassed, and she kept compensating the old lady and Qiniang.

The old lady's face was gloomy, and she looked at Qi Niang carefully worriedly, "You go and change your clothes first." ”

Qi Niang immediately responded and bowed and retreated.

When she returned to the main hall in a light blue brocade embroidered skirt, the playful Liuniang was no longer there, and only a woman with a raw face was still talking.

Qi Niang sat down next to Si Niang, and Si Niang gave her a comforting smile back.

"Everything is fine in the water nunnery, and the sixth lady still lives in an independent courtyard behind the nunnery, thank you for the old lady's concern." The woman replied respectfully, her words of gratitude hard to hide.

"That's good, it's bitter Aunt Wen." The old lady nodded reassuringly.

Aunt Wen?

Qi Niang's doubts deepened, she thought that she was just a nurse who took care of her all the year round, how could she be an aunt? Could it be the sixth sister's real mother?

"I don't dare to be a concubine, this is what I should do." The woman who was called Aunt Wen lowered her head and couldn't see any expression.

The old man carefully asked Liu Niang about her daily diet and daily life, and then asked her to step down.

Aunt Wen saluted respectfully, humbly lowered her head and stepped back, but when she passed in front of Qi Niang, her eyes kept staring at her, and she didn't retract her gaze until she was about to retreat to the door.

Qi Niang's heart was numb for a while, and when she saluted Liu Niang, the aunt behind her also stared at her without blinking, but at that time, her mind was on the crazy and stupid Liu Niang, and she didn't pay attention to it, and now she feels more and more uneasy when she thinks about it.

Lunch was used in each room and courtyard, and the old lady was not in good spirits, so she went back to the house to rest when she was so troubled by Liuniang.

Siniang waited for her grandmother to rest, and then took Qiniang to her Luanyu Pavilion.

The daily lunch in the house is six dishes and one soup, three meat and three vegetarian dishes, but before the two sisters have started to eat, Mrs. Wang sent two cups of Yuzhu duck soup.

"The small fire has been boiling slowly all morning, and it has been warm before, and the old lady specially explained that she must send it to the lady while it is hot."

Before leaving, Granny Wang did not forget to explain repeatedly.

Qi Niang's heart warmed, but her grandmother was thinking about her all the time.

"Seventh sister, look at how good your grandmother is to you, you were abducted by me, and your grandmother asked Granny Wang to bring soup over." Although Siniang said this, her face was happy.

"Why is there this delicious Yuzhu duck soup that can't stop your clever mouth, Fourth Sister?" Qi Niang followed and teased.

These days of getting along with Siniang day and night, she likes her sister more and more.

The smile on Siniang's face was even brighter, "Tsk, look, everyone in the house says that I Su Siniang is sharp-toothed, but it turns out that I can talk more about it!" ”

Qi Niang smiled silently, but her heart was a lot more comfortable.

Just after the sixth lady made such a fuss, she has always felt uncomfortable in her heart, and there is also the strange Aunt Wen.

"Fourth sister, was the sixth sister born like this?"

Siniang immediately stopped laughing when she heard this, "No." ”

"That's ......" Qi Niang put down the silver chopsticks and became curious.

Siniang also put down her chopsticks, and her face sank, "I was young at the time, and I didn't know the specific situation, but I heard from my mother-in-law next to me later." ”

"Liuniang, she was not born in the house, that year my father went to Linxian County to take care of the family business, and when he came back, there were more Aunt Wen and Liuniang, and my mother didn't say much, so she immediately placed them in the house, but Aunt Wen said it was strange, and asked to move to another courtyard many times, and finally made trouble in front of my grandmother."

The more Qi Niang listened, the more puzzled she became, "At that time, the sixth sister was like this today?" ”

"No, I heard that the sixth sister looked very well-behaved, white and chubby, especially those eyes, which were big and bright, but they looked very similar to the seventh sister." Siniang's expression changed, "But the sixth sister was still in infancy at that time, so I can't see anything abnormal." ”

"Grandmother had to agree, and Aunt Wen and the sixth sister immediately moved to another courtyard, but it didn't take long for the news that the sixth sister was injured by a fall."

"Fall?" Qi Niang frowned, how could this happen.

"I heard that it was still a maid named Zijuan next to Aunt Wen, who said that it was because she was jealous that Aunt Wen was valued by my father, so she threw the sixth sister down the steps several meters high."

"Huh?" Qi Niang couldn't help screaming, she quickly covered her mouth and asked, "How can a little maid be so bold, not to mention what qualifications does she have to be jealous of an aunt?" ”

Siniang stopped, and hesitation flashed in her eyes when she looked at Qi Niang.

"Fourth sister?" Qi Niang is restless, could it be that this matter is still related to her?

"My sister doesn't know, Aunt Wen was the third aunt's dowry maid before."

Qi Niang looked stunned, "My mother's dowry girl? ”

This matter is getting more and more complicated, how did the good lady of the third room become the aunt of the second room?

Could it be that something unseemly happened in the middle?

"Aunt Wen and the girl who injured the sixth sister were both married by the third aunt in the past, and I heard from the later mother-in-law that the two of them have always been sisters." Siniang took a sip of fragrant tea before she continued: "During that time, the third uncle and the third aunt were not in the house, and the girls who stayed behind were also brightened, and they actually drunk my father ......., and then ........"

When Siniang said this, her face was flushed, embarrassed and embarrassed.

Qi Niang was also at a loss when she heard it, she didn't know how to speak.

"Father saw the face of the third aunt, so he set up Wen as his aunt, but he didn't want to think about this silk girl, and was later robbed by Wen halfway. So, she has always held a grudge after inviting Aunt Wen to follow her, and finally created the sixth sister she is today. ”

Siniang said this, and couldn't help sighing, "The grievances and grievances of the previous generation, but I don't want the sixth sister to bear them." ”

Qi Niang's face was also gloomy, and she remembered Liu Niang's silly smile, the residual saliva at the corner of her mouth, and her slurred words.

"Sixth sister's life is ruined."

"Who said no, until the age of four will not go down to the ground to walk, now the meal is still to be fed bite by bite, winter does not know the cold, summer does not know the heat, but it is not much different from these cats and dogs." Siniang's words were full of resentment.

For this matter, there is an extra layer of estrangement between the mother and the father, for so many years, they don't know that there are many more dislikes between their husbands and wives for no reason, if Siniang doesn't hate Aunt Wen, it is impossible.

When she returned to the warm pavilion at night, Qi Niang asked Chensu's mother-in-law about the matter carefully, but it was not much different from what Siniang said, but about why Wen's suddenly became the second aunt, but Chensu didn't know anything. (To be continued.) )
