When Qiu Muyun heard this, he lowered his head even lower.

"The courtiers are just carving insects, cheeky and ugly, and the queen mother praised it." She whispered back as she pressed the wound on her fingertips cut by the strings.

"Good! Good! I've got a reward! The emperor said arrogantly, his eyes suddenly looked at Tong Xue and Li Ling who were standing quietly on the side, and the two of them saluted her from a distance, and then stood still on the ground.

"Can your contest be over?" The emperor glanced at the bird cages on the rockery as if at random, and saw that the birds, gray or white, fluttered their wings with a confused expression, and obviously suffered a lot of trauma.

The third prince also glanced at the rockery, and saw a bird lying on the ground in a cage, with a happy face!

"Father, you see, that bird was shot by my little cousin!" After the third prince finished speaking, he ran over happily, stepped on the slippery ice, and climbed the rockery with his hands and feet.

He ordered the eunuch to open the birdcage, bent down to pick up the bird on the ground, and suddenly stiffened in place, and the expression of joy on his face was a little distorted.

Everyone didn't know why, so they all looked at the rockery.

I saw the third prince hanging his head dejectedly carrying a trembling gray bird, and behind the gray bird, a pitch-black arrow was shooting into the wooden branch hanging from the birdcage with unmistakable accuracy.

"This bird is actually pretending to be dead and deceiving people!" The third prince grabbed the bird's neck fiercely and said.

The bird drooped its head, closed its two little eyes tightly, its wings drooped, and spread its two paws, as if it were dead.

Is there a bird in this world that pretends to be dead?

Look at me, people, and I will look at you. I couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The third prince became more and more annoyed and angry, and threw the bird to the ground.

Who knows, at the moment when the bird broke away from the palm of the third prince's hand, it suddenly flapped its wings and flew up, and in the blink of an eye, it crossed the top of the third prince's head and stopped on the nearest tree wrapped in a layer of silver frost.

"Trumpet! Tweet! The bird stood in the treetops, called twice to the third prince, and then turned around, flapped its wings, and flew away in style.

The three princes wanted to cry and stood on the top of the rockery without tears. Suddenly I felt that life was so difficult.

"Haha! Ha ha! The crowd laughed even more heartily. Even Li Ling, who had disappointed expectations, opened his mouth and showed a slightly shy smile.

"So it seems, in this round. Still no one was shot. But you're all doing well. There will also be rewards here for mourning families! "The Queen Mother has a lot of fun today. If you give more rewards, you will be happy.

"Tong Da shot an arrow in the first round!" When the eldest prince saw that everyone was laughing, he had already revealed the thrilling scene of Fang Cai, and he also bumped into his guts. Said with a big grin.

Tong Xue glanced at him unexpectedly again, and was rolled back by him.

What a hater! Tong Xue thought to herself.

But he had to pretend to smile shyly.

"Oh?" The Emperor looked very interested, "Where is that bird now, show it to me!" ”

The little eunuch hurried back to the pavilion and slipped the bird that was still hanging from the arrow.

"Very good!" Emperor Xining stroked his palms and praised.

"Father, do you remember to give Tong Da a big reward!" The eldest prince beat the snake with the stick.

The emperor's dragon eyebrows swept at him, "My good emperor, can you shoot or not?" ”

The eldest prince's handsome face suddenly turned red.

If his arrow really hits, the sky of the Great Yue Dynasty may tremble!

"Erchen's skills are not perfect." The eldest prince was a little depressed, but he had to admit it.

"The courtiers are just lucky to preference, and they can't be counted." Tong Xue hurriedly played a round.

"Tong Da, if you win, you will win openly, what to do!" The eldest prince had just been reprimanded by Emperor Xining, and turned around and reprimanded Tong Xue again.

Tong Xue looked at the eldest prince and smiled fakely, and shot him several times with his gaze.

You don't say a word, and no one treats you as a dumb person!

"That's not necessarily, the ancestor just said that there will be three more games, and there are still two games left!" The third prince said unconvinced on the side.

The eldest prince looked at the third prince with a look of "you little brat, get out of the way", and disdained to ignore her words at all.

"Aunt Qiu's hand is injured, and she probably can't touch the piano." The second prince, who had been standing silently on the side, suddenly spoke up.

"It's out of the way, it doesn't hurt anymore." Qiu Muyun put his hand into the embroidered robe.

The more she hides it, the more the Queen Mother has to see what happens.

"Yikes! So much blood was shed! Why don't you say a word? The Queen Mother saw that Qiu Muyun's palm was shocking and red, and she exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly ordered the eunuch to call the imperial doctor.

Qiu Muyun said a little embarrassedly: "I thought it would be fine to wrap it in a handkerchief to stop the bleeding." ”

"What are you doing in a daze!" The Queen Mother suddenly became angry, and she didn't have a big basin of hot water, so she cleaned Miss Qiu's hands first! ”

The palace maid only agreed.

Qiu Muyun saw that he had provoked the queen mother's anger, and his face did not show a trace of urgency, "The courtiers are fine, please take care of yourself, the queen mother should not be angry, if she is angry, the courtiers will be guilty,"

The Queen Mother sighed lightly, restrained the anger on her face, and became pleasant again.

"O Emperor! Mu Yun's this, he gave it lightly, and the mourning family was not happy! The mourning family is such an aunt and nephew! The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Xining with a smile.

Emperor Xining's gaze swept over Qiu Muyun, with a soft smile on the corner of his mouth, "The queen mother is in charge." ”

When Qiu Muyun heard this, he raised his head suddenly, and for some reason, his face was as pale as paper, as if he had instantly retreated all the blood.

Tong Xue looked at the three of them, and a not-so-good thought suddenly crossed her mind.

Isn't it

Sure enough, this thought had just passed, Qiu Muyun opened his mouth and said incoherently: "The Queen Mother is too famous!" The courtiers have no talent and no appearance, so they should not be rewarded too heavily! ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, the smile on her face immediately became a little unbearable.

"You kid, why are you scared like this? The mourning family is just looking for more benefits from the emperor for you. The Queen Mother's words were ambiguous, and Qiu Muyun had a heart. But it fell heavily.

She shook her lips and squeezed out a smile, "It must be my aunt's poor niece's meager makeup, and she wants to add makeup to her niece in this way, and my niece will thank the Queen Mother and the Holy Lord." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, her eyebrows didn't move for half a minute, but she said casually as if she were talking about the weather: "I haven't heard your mother mention that you are engaged." ”

"The mother is taking a fancy to her niece and nephew. Because it is not decided. Therefore, I did not inform my aunt in advance. Qiu Muyun covered his hands between his sleeves, and his white fingers pinched his fingertips.

She secretly encouraged herself in her heart not to panic. Don't be afraid. Calm and calm. must survive this moment, only in this way can she find happiness in the second half of her life!

Tong Xue heard this. Surprised.

If my aunt really marries someone else, what should my uncle do?

She was in a hurry, and her head became faster.

In that scene, if she guessed correctly, the Queen Mother wanted to include the little aunt in Emperor Xining's harem, Emperor Xining had an indispensable attitude, and the little aunt was obviously unwilling!

In that case, why didn't she push the two of them!

Thinking like this, she looked at Qiu Muyun with a smile on her face, and her eyes sparkled: "What a coincidence! It turns out that Miss Qiu is looking at each other, and so is my uncle! My grandmother was so worried about this that her hair turned gray. ”

Qiu Muyun's originally pale cheeks were instantly dyed with a layer of red, and his slender neck became more and more lower.

When the Queen Mother heard Tong Xue mention Lu Guichen, she remembered the eldest princess of Yuanjiang who was uneasy and committed suicide.

Suddenly, the old man's face became a little unsightly.

"Father, tell me quickly, what gift do you want to give to Tong Da?" The eldest prince interjected at the right time and asked.

He glanced at Tong Xue out of the corner of his eye.

If you can't speak, don't talk nonsense, he has to rack his brains to uncover this stubble!

Emperor Xining looked at the small interaction between his awkward eldest son and the little girl in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and suddenly felt a little emotional.

This stupid boy likes other people's little girls, shouldn't he be so fierce, what if he scares the little girl away?

But when she thought that the girl was her daughter, she should be bolder than the sky, and how could she be easily scared away?

Emperor Xining remembered the past, and his inner feelings were extremely complicated.

The expression on his face also became a little mysterious.

The eldest prince glanced at it secretly, and suddenly felt a little weak.

Fortunately, Emperor Xining only walked for a while, and his face was as usual.

He looked at Tong Xue carefully, with a pensive look on his face.

"Tong Da, what do you want?"

When Tong Xue heard this title, she only felt that her head was full of black lines.

"Back to the saint, the courtiers want a gentle and kind girl like Miss Qiu to be the courtier's aunt." Tong Xue tilted her head, looked at Emperor Xining with a pair of big and round eyes, and smiled innocently.

"Haha!" Emperor Xining was obviously pleased by this answer, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The rest of the people also smiled in agreement, and the look on the Queen Mother's face finally eased a little.

"I remember that your mother was not a gentle and kind person." Xu was too cheerful, Emperor Xining said casually, and only then did he realize what he had said.

"Why hasn't this doctor come yet!" The Queen Mother suddenly complained, with an eager look on her face.

Lu has been a taboo topic that their mother and son have tried to avoid over the years.

Back then, the Queen Mother couldn't stand the emperor's pleas, and summoned General Weiyuan's wife into the palace, revealing her intention to marry.

To this day, the Queen Mother still remembers the shocking remarks of General Weiyuan's wife clearly.

The woman who was born in the border city of the Northland, grew up in the border city of the Northland, has greater strength than men, has a rude temperament than men, has better kung fu than ordinary men, and can go into battle to kill the enemy with a knife, told her in a natural tone that her daughter must marry someone she likes and is willing to marry, whether it is a high-ranking emperor or a penniless beggar, as long as her daughter likes it and identifies that person, she will support her as a mother to the end.

Therefore, the Queen Mother summoned General Weiyuan's wife into the palace and did not finalize the marriage of the two.

Emperor Xining had never been so fond and persistent of a woman, and when he heard this, he asked the Empress Dowager to invite the mother and daughter into the palace again, and thought of leaving General Weiyuan's wife alone with the Lu family.

The Queen Mother remembered the reply of her confidant eunuch, Emperor Xining had not yet opened his mouth to pour out his love, Lu Guichen had already taken the first step, bowed to Emperor Xining, and then bowed his head and told him that he already belonged to his heart and was pregnant with his flesh and blood.

With Emperor Xining's habit of taking and plundering, even if this woman has a heart, he is the emperor, as long as he strikes first and encircles her into his sphere of influence, there will always be a day when she can be reassured.

However, she was reluctant to give him this opportunity.

Even his love is not willing to listen.

She just hung her neck as if she were supple, and simply and decisively rejected his affection.

Over the years, every time she thinks of this, the Queen Mother can't have a good impression of General Weiyuan's wife and her shameless daughter.

Therefore, in the past eleven years, Lu Guichen, as the wife of the Marquis of Dingyuan, has never entered the palace to worship during the New Year's holidays.

Although the emperor has put it down on his face, no one knows what he thinks in his heart.

But the mother and son tacitly avoided mentioning the matter.

No, Emperor Xining suddenly relaxed her vigilance when faced with a immature face that was too similar to Lu Guichen, which naturally made her slip out of her mouth.

"It's coming! Here it comes! The eldest prince, who was good at observing words and feelings, pretended that he did not feel the slightest abnormality, and beckoned to the imperial doctor who was rushing all the way with the medicine box, urging them to hurry up with his movements.

The imperial doctor came panting, bandaged Qiu Muyun, and told Qiu Muyun to pay attention to some matters.

After this side was busy, the imperial concubine took her henchmen and palace maids to come from afar.

"Mother!" The third prince greeted him, "Father is thinking about what reward to give Tong Da, please help come up with an idea!" The third prince took the hand of the imperial concubine and pulled her to Emperor Xining's side.

It's Tong Da again!

Tong Xue didn't even have the strength to roll her eyes in her heart.

The imperial concubine looked at Tong Xue with a smile, her eyes casually swept over the niece outside the hall who had been silent and her face was slightly unsightly, and stayed on Qiu Muyun's wrapped fingers for a moment.

"The saint is familiar with Miss Tong at first sight, if you don't dislike the concubine and insult the eldest girl Tong, why don't you let the concubine make a profit, accept the eldest girl Tong as a righteous daughter, and then the saint is rewarding the eldest girl Tong with the title of a county lord." The imperial concubine smiled and said playfully.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she glanced at the imperial concubine with a salty look.

"The mourning family saw that the eldest girl Tong and Jiahe were quite in love, and it happened that Jiahe was about to leave the pavilion in the spring, and the princess's mansion was inevitably empty, if the mourning family recognized a righteous daughter for Qinghe, she could go to the princess's mansion from time to time to relieve her boredom to relieve her emptiness under her knees."

The imperial concubine would never refute the Queen Mother's words on the spot.

She turned to look at Emperor Xining, "Holy Lord, I don't know if you want a niece or a righteous daughter more?" ”

"I don't want any of them!" Emperor Xining said word by word.

Looking at the slightly changed expressions on the faces of the imperial concubine and the queen mother, Emperor Xining suddenly felt a trace of prank success in his heart. (To be continued......)
