The annual event in Wutai Palace is coming, the Queen Mother's New Year's Banquet.

Golden branches and jade leaves, colorful silk yarn, gold and silver everywhere, all within reach are extremely luxurious furnishings, as long as you enter the Wutai Palace, then what follows is dazzling, dizzying. Xu Youshan looked at the palaces that were not unfamiliar in front of her, but her eyes had long since disappeared from the shock when she saw them for the first time.

Xu Youshan glanced at Wang Nishang and Leng Xinyun who were following her, especially Leng Xinyun, who was slightly convex in her lower abdomen, Xu Youshan unconsciously felt a slight headache, and when she saw the Queen Mother and Concubine Xian, she didn't know how to make her ugly, that kind of situation, as long as she thought about it now, she felt upset, but she couldn't hide from it, didn't it cost her life?

Sighing in her heart, Xu Youshan held Chu Dai's hand, but she still walked slowly towards the Shou'an Palace, the main hall of Wutai Palace, and Wang Nishang and Leng Xinyun behind her, naturally followed behind Xu Youshan with low eyebrows and gentle eyes at this time, and walked towards Shou'an Hall together, and when they arrived at Shou'an Palace, they found that Concubine Xian and Concubine De were actually there, so Xu Youshan and the three hurriedly saluted them.

The current Concubine De, after the wedding of Xie Yan and Princess Dongji, her complexion has slowly improved, and she is no longer as depressed as Xu Youshan saw her before. When Xu Youshan saw her, she was a little stunned before she came back to her senses.

It seems that Xie Yan is after marrying Princess Dongji. The situation of their mother and son has changed for the better?

Xu Youshan was a little unbelievable and saluted the Queen Mother first, and then saluted Concubine Xian and Concubine De, and the two concubines both smiled and asked them to get up, especially Concubine Xian, who seemed to be intimate and pulled Xu Youshan past her and asked her about her illness some time ago, saying that the heir was decided by God. can't have too much pressure, after speaking, he seemed to be very distressed and patted Xu Youshan's hand, which made Xu Youshan speechless. I thought: I think that pressure is what you gave me, right?

But thinking about it, Xu Youshan still squeezed out a shy smile and nodded, didn't speak, and because she was pulled down by Concubine Xian and sat down. connected Wang Nishang and Leng Xinyun. Naturally, it was also on Concubine Xian's side, and after Concubine Xian patted Xu Youshan's hand, her eyes naturally turned to the most conspicuous Leng Xinyun.

"King Chu is also a blessed child, look, look, at a young age, the side concubine is pregnant, and after a while, she will soon give birth to the emperor's eldest grandson."

Concubine Xian smiled kindly. And these words also made Leng Xinyun unable to hide his pride when he heard it, although Leng Xinyun's mind was quite ruthless and sophisticated. But at this time, under the attention of the three women in the highest position of the Great Zhou Dynasty, even Leng Xinyun was a little fluttering, not to mention that after Concubine Xian finished speaking, the Queen Mother also praised Leng Xinyun a few words, and by the way, Xu Youshan also stabbed a few times, and looked at her with a cold gaze, it seems that the Queen Mother still thinks that the eldest grandson is not a descendant but a concubine, which is Xu Youshan's fault.

Although the difference between the concubines and concubines is not as clear as in other wealthy families, there are still some exquisitenesses, so the Queen Mother is still very dissatisfied with the fact that her first great-grandson is not a descendant, and the blame, of course, is all blamed on Xu Youshan. In this regard, Xu Youshan had nothing else to think about except helplessness, and now she had to silently not speak, plus she had no energy, she looked like she was in a bad state, thinking of the cold heart cloud next to her face full of spring breeze, everyone naturally knew what was going on, and even the queen mother was in no mood to pay attention to her, so she turned her head and only paid attention to cold heart cloud.

And seeing that the Queen Mother no longer stabbed her, Xu Youshan also secretly exhaled a long breath, and then suddenly became weak again, and subconsciously did not cast her eyes in the direction of Leng Xinyun, but looked at the opposite place, but at this time, she froze.

Because Concubine De, who was not far away, actually looked in the direction of Leng Xinyun with an extremely cold gaze, and this is not a good gaze, the extremely cold chill made Xu Youshan, a bystander, tremble her body involuntarily.

What does this mean? Xu Youshan quietly observed Concubine De a little confused, she didn't understand how Concubine De could look at Leng Xinyun with such a gaze, with the current situation of Concubine De and Xie Yan, there should no longer be any direct interest relationship between them and Xie Jing, after all, Xie Yan has now married Princess Dongji, then the best result in his life is that he can only be an idle king, how can Concubine De still hate Leng Xinyun so much.

Xu Youshan is puzzled, she really can't understand it, and judging from the current situation, shouldn't it be Concubine Xian who should hate Leng Xinyun? Xu Youshan's gaze quietly turned to Concubine Xian again, but now Concubine Xian was still holding Leng Xinyun's hand and didn't know what to say, which made Leng Xinyun's face flushed, and it was even more charming.

But the more the virtuous concubine smiled, the more suspicious Xu Youshan became, after it was rumored some time ago that Emperor Zhou Hui had the intention to make Xie Wen the crown prince, Xie Jing's ending should have been doomed by several well-intentioned people, but now Leng Xinyun's sudden pregnancy has disrupted the current situation, because for Emperor Zhou Hui's eldest grandson, Emperor Zhou Hui is happy, the heavy reward for Leng Xinyun is so scary, the original situation of Xie Jing's bad situation can be said to have changed in one day.

Thinking of this, a self-deprecating wry smile appeared on the corner of Xu Youshan's mouth, no matter what, Leng Xinyun really solved a difficult problem for Xie Jing, even if it was not good, it would also win some time for Xie Jing to relieve, right? Xu Youshan thought weakly, but after seeing Concubine Xian take the initiative to get closer to Leng Xinyun for a few minutes, her eyes narrowed, and when she was about to get up and go over, the Queen Mother spoke, asked Xu Youshan and the three of them to retreat, and sent someone to lead them to Chaoyang Pavilion where the banquet was held.

And when she got out of the Shou'an Palace, Xu Youshan let out a breath. Concubine Xian's courtesy to Leng Xinyun really made her worried, although it was ugly. She really didn't have a good impression of Leng Xinyun and the child in her belly, but she couldn't stand by with them in this situation, so after muttering for a while, Xu Youshan still sighed and instructed Liu's mother to let her go and talk to Leng Xinyun, suggesting that she stay away from Concubine Xian.

But Mother Liu unexpectedly glanced at Xu Youshan, and when she came back from Leng Xinyun's side. But he shook his head at Xu Youshan and replied: "Concubine Leng said that she thanked the princess for her concern, but other people's kindness or bad intentions, sigh that she will tell." ”

Leng Xinyun is not stupid. Xu Youshan knew it when she first saw her, but she didn't know why she felt like she was becoming stupid now, and the conflict of interest between Concubine Xian and Xie Jing was so obvious. But Leng Xinyun would dare to get so close to Concubine Xian. And said such a thing, didn't she know, especially in this deep palace, with a casual wave of her hand, maybe there were hidden means that could make people fall into the abyss, let alone the virtuous concubine who had been in this palace for so many years?

And when Leng Xinyun faced Concubine Xian, her unguarded attitude really made Xu Youshan dumbfounded.

But what should be said. Xu Youshan also said that if others insist on turning a blind eye. Then there was nothing she could do. Xu Youshan exhaled heavily, feeling more tired, so she nodded to Liu's mother, signaled to follow Leng Xinyun, and continued to walk towards Chaoyang Pavilion.

Wutai Palace, Chaoyang Pavilion.

Chaoyang Pavilion is still the same as Xu Youshan remembers, and there is no big change, and the extravagant style that the Queen Mother likes is still the same as always, Xu Youshan glanced around casually, and then withdrew her gaze, and then immediately in a shout, there was a warm voice in her eyes for the first time, and she saw not far away, Pei Shi and Xu Yourong were smiling at her.

The lips flap raised involuntarily, and Xu Youshan didn't care about Wang Nishang and Leng Xinyun at all at this time, and walked briskly in the direction of Pei Shi and Xu Yourong, and happily called: "Auntie, eldest sister." ”

Today is the Queen Mother's Thousand Autumn New Year's Banquet, and everyone in the Xu family naturally wants to come, Xu Youshan is expected, so when she came today, although she thought that the Queen Mother would definitely not be pleasing to her when she saw her, she still couldn't help but be happy in her heart, because she could see Pei Shi and Xu Yourong today. And Pei's side was crooked, Pei also observed Xu Youshan's face carefully, and when he found that he was a little pale, he hurriedly asked her what was going on.

But how could Xu Youshan tell the truth, and he was busy with the excuse that he didn't sleep well this morning, and after Pei Shi heard this, he raised his head and glanced coldly in the direction of Wang Nishang and Leng Xinyun, and suddenly said softly to Xu Youshan: "No matter what you remember, you have to tell me, no matter what, I won't let others bully you, you know?" ”

Xu Youshan didn't know how much effort she used to keep herself from crying, but after hurriedly stabilizing the tears that were about to burst, she raised a big smile and nodded heavily to Pei's, and then Pei's sighed lightly and didn't say anything more, Xu Youshan's current mood, how could she not understand? But Pei Shi is glad that Xu Youshan is not her, not her at that time, and not the self who once thought that her husband would only hold her.

Exhaled again, Pei Shi smiled and took Xu Youshan's hand and patted it gently, and then took her to greet Mrs. Qi and them. And when Xu Youshan greeted all the elders and stayed by Xu Yourong for a while, the two slipped away quietly.

"Tell me, what's the matter with the sick look on your face?"

It's just that the two of them walked to the corner of Chaoyang Pavilion, and Xu Yourong grabbed Xu Youshan and asked about her bad face, and she also looked like you don't plan to fool me, which made Xu Youshan speechless for a while, but in the end she still planned to struggle again, "How can I have a sick face, I just said it, it's just that I got up too early this morning, eldest sister, don't guess." ”

"Oh, is it? It turns out that your face is like this, because you got up too early this morning, well, since you have said so, then take it as such, eh, Wan'er, you go and ask me where His Royal Highness the King of Chu is now......"

Xu Yourong was raising her hand to tell Wan'er to ask her where Xie Jing was, but before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Xu Youshan, and pulled Xu Yourong's hand, and said a little angrily: "Sister, can you not make a mess." ”

"Do you want me not to make a mess? Okay. Go ahead. Xu Yourong looked at Xu Youshan for a long time.

But Xu Youshan suddenly sat down on the sandalwood chair beside her, looked at a group of girls who were whispering and laughing to each other not far away, and said weakly: "What to say." ”

"Tell me what the hell is going on with you." Xu Yourong looked at Xu Youshan's dejected expression. There was a solemnity in his tone.

And Xu Youshan was silent for a while, and then said: "What's there to say about this, isn't it that Leng Xinyun is pregnant, and then when the saint and the queen mother are in urgent need of an imperial grandson, Leng Xinyun is pregnant at this time, and she has become everyone's darling." Xu Youshan said it was not salty or light, but what she said was also true. But Xu Yourong listened to it very unpleasantly, she looked at Xu Youshan, it was almost a raging anger!

"Sister Shan. Can you be more stupid? Have you been with your mother for so many years, and you still don't understand? How can you let a side concubine get pregnant before you, is it because you watched what happened to Brother Chen, it is not hard enough. So you want your kids to do the same? ”

Xu Yourong's words were harsh. Looking at Xu Youshan's expression, she also hated iron and steel, but Xu Youshan was silent at this time, of course she understood, with Pei's and Xu Yourong for so many years, how could she not understand the pain of Pei's life? But she really didn't expect it, the original original, she was just in the palace of the king of Chu. After a period of time by Xie Jing's side, it may not be long, and it may not be short. is going its own way, so how could she pay attention to Wang Nishang and Leng Xinyun, who are people who can't be beaten by eight poles at all, how can she guard against them?

And according to the plan, everything should be like this, and everything will be done peacefully, but Xu Youshan is not a stone, getting along day and night, and facing difficulties one by one, she and Xie Jing have gone through a very tortuous journey together, and when she inadvertently looked back, she found that she didn't know when, but she began to unconsciously pay attention to Xie Jing's every move, and unconsciously cared about his joys and sorrows; It turned out that before she knew it, she had already fallen in love with him.

"Eldest sister, I know everything, I just don't understand, it turns out that I will like him."

An almost murmuring voice, after a long silence, gently spit out from Xu Youshan's mouth, and this light sound seemed to be inaudible, but it still got into Xu Yourong's ears, and then Xu Yourong's eyes were still angry, and they suddenly froze, she opened her mouth, wanting to say something to Xu Youshan, but in the end, Xu Yourong still couldn't say anything.

No one knows better than Xu Yourong how bitter this kind of thing is sometimes, so she looked at the depressed Xu Youshan at this time, and was suddenly silent.

"You two can make it easy for me to find you, what are you hiding here?"

Just when Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan were relatively speechless, Xu Mingxiang's voice suddenly interjected, making the stagnation between the two disappear suddenly, and then Xu Youshan hurriedly turned her face away, but even if her movements were fast, Xu Mingxiang's eyes were sharper, and she had already seen Xu Youshan's red eyes, Xu Mingcheng thought of the rumors that Leng Xinyun was pregnant with the emperor's eldest grandson in the past few days, so without saying a word, she pulled Xu Yourong aside, and asked if Leng Xinyun was bullying Sister Shan.

Xu Yourong looked at Xu Mingrong's fierce appearance, said no funny, and then planned to ask Xu Mingcheng not to ask more, but Xu Mingrong looked at Xu Yourong with a straight face and asked her what was going on.

Xu Yourong paused suddenly, and then told Xu Mingcheng about the conversation just now, Xu Mingcheng was also speechless after listening, and then he didn't say anything else, but stepped forward and pulled Xu Youshan, looked at her little white face, and said with disgust: "Sister Shan, it seems that the food in your Chu Wangfu is not very good, how can your face be so bad, come, follow my sister, my sister will take you to eat something good." ”

Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan were still in a gloomy mood, but they were directly dissipated by Xu Mingxi's words, Xu Youshan couldn't help laughing, and Xu Yourong said directly to Xu Mingcheng: "Please, can you not be so temperamental." ”

"Hey, Xu Yourong, who do you say has no temperament." Xu Mingcheng said angrily.

"Tell me about you."

"Xu, Young, Rong !!"

Xu Youshan looked at Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng in front of her with tears and smiled in her eyes, and began to fight again, in the impression that her two eldest sisters have not been like this for a long time, since she also came out of the cabinet, there are very few opportunities for the four of them to get together completely, and now after Xu Mingwen marries Huanchuan, it is estimated that it will be difficult to have it in the future.

When Xu Youshan remembered Xu Ming's sister-in-law, who was already thousands of miles away, the tears in her eyes suddenly became uncontrollable, and they fell suddenly, so that no one on the side would let anyone, Xu Yourong and Xu Mingxi, who were still bickering, were startled, and hurriedly ran to Xu Youshan's side, "Sister Shan, what are you crying about, if there is anything unhappy, just say it, don't cry, otherwise if others see it for a while, you will be embarrassed by the princess of Chu." Xu Mingcheng hurriedly took out a handkerchief, and said threateningly while wiping her tears for Xu Youshan.

And after listening to Xu Mingxi's threat, Xu Youshan actually burst into tears and laughed, but Xu Yourong gave Xu Mingcheng a roll of his eyes, and then asked Xu Youshan: "What are you crying about?" ”

"I think of my sister-in-law." Xu Youshan said honestly, it is less than a month since Xu Mingwen left Shendu and set off for Huanchuan, so naturally she is still on the way, but fortunately, Xu Qi has sent letters back all the way, so everyone in the Xu family is not too worried, but Xu Youshan and the three of them, for the only Xu Mingwen who married someone else, they are really unspeakably sad, but in the face of Xu Ming's happiness, even if Xu Youshan's sadness and reluctance are piled up, they can't say a word to Xu Mingwen.

The only thing Xu Youshan and the three of them can do is only after Xu Mingwen leaves, can they let their thoughts overflow, and tears can be left unscrupulously.

And Xu Youshan didn't mention it, it's okay, she mentioned it, Xu Yourong and Xu Mingxi's eyes turned red, and then Xu Yourong looked at Xu Youshan, and said with some crying: "Sister Shan, you're good, why don't you mention Sister Shan, didn't Brother Qi write a few days ago, saying that they went smoothly all the way, don't worry, don't think about it." ”

"That's it, don't mention Ming's wife blindly if it's okay, save ...... I want to cry. Xu Mingcheng couldn't hold back after all, her tears broke the embankment, and her crying caused Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan to cry together, if it weren't for the fact that the place Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan chose before was covered by a flower and tree screen, and it was also located in a corner, it is estimated that now in the entire huge Chaoyang Pavilion, Xu Youshan and the three of them would know that Xu Youshan and the three of them were crying here.

"Oh, three aunts, what's wrong with you. Don't cry, don't cry, oh, the two old ladies are here. Wan'er and Chu Dai saw that Xu Youshan and the three of them were crying, but they were all panicked for a while, and in the end, Liu's mother had an idea and lied that Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Zheng were here, which scared Xu Youshan and the three of them to tears in an instant.

But when Xu Youshan and the three of them looked in the direction pointed by Mother Liu, there was no figure, so they all looked at Mother Liu angrily, but Mother Liu smiled and said: "Three aunts, this is Wutai Palace, Chaoyang Pavilion, it's not good for you to cry here like this." ”

Mother Liu said with a smile, and after hearing this, Xu Youshan and the three of them instantly understood the meaning, so they all collected their hearts, wiped their tears, and stopped crying, indeed this is in the palace city, what kind of system do the three of them cry like this, if they are casually smeared by someone with a heart, isn't it another big handle? So after Xu Youshan and the three of them stabilized their minds, they hurriedly thanked Liu's mother and thanked her for reminding her, but Liu's mother couldn't accept it, so she smiled and excused herself.

And when Xu Youshan and the three of them were talking here, a lot of time had passed, so after a while, under the sharp voice of the inner supervisor, Concubine Xian helped the Queen Mother slowly walked into Chaoyang Pavilion, everyone got up and saluted, and the Queen Mother smiled and said that she would get up without courtesy, and everyone sat down one by one.
