Walking into the former queen's Chengde Palace, Zhou Xiya saw Mrs. Xiao sitting on the main seat, and her sister-in-law and several concubines of Marquis Xiao were also there.

"The daughter-in-law has seen her mother" Zhou Xiya saluted.

The teacup in Mrs. Xiao's hand, since she came to this palace, everyone has been respectful to her, and the palace maids and eunuchs also call her the queen's mother, although the Hou Ye has not yet decreed that she will be canonized as the queen, but who doesn't know that she is the main palace lady in this palace, the future queen.

Mrs. Xiao put the teacup heavily on the table, and her face was not good.

"Yo, when did my brother and sister arrive? The queen mother misses you tightly. Seeing her mother-in-law's face, Wang couldn't help but smile, she was happy to be able to step on Zhou Xiya on the soles of her feet, especially now is the critical moment to compete for the storage position, the ministers of the court and the central government not only support their big house, but also the forces on the second room.

"I just arrived yesterday, Mother Xie is worried" Zhou Xiya understands what kind of emotions Mrs. Xiao is making, she is also helpless for this mother-in-law, it is really light, it is not good, it is not serious, but let her please her mother-in-law everywhere, she really can't do it.

"Where do the younger brothers and sisters live now, although the second brother is the mother's own son, but this palace is not where everyone can live, but don't worry, the queen mother will definitely not treat the second brother badly, I remember that there is still a Zhaowang Mansion that no one lives in, clean up, the younger brother and sister can move there." There was a hint of showing off on Wang's face, their big house lived in the palace, depending on the meaning of their father, this crown prince is just around the corner, as long as the crown prince is established, what else is there to toss in their second room.

"This is not a big sister-in-law, Xiao Jingqing has made great achievements. In fighting for my father, my father will not treat Xiao Jingqing badly if he treats any son, as for myself, it doesn't matter if I live in my mother's house, I believe that my father will arrange a satisfactory place for us. Zhou Xiya sneered, Zhaowang Mansion, the worst mansion of all the palaces in the capital, is the Wang family humiliating them, then don't blame her for being unkind, when you are a sister-in-law. You are a sister-in-law. If you're a sister-in-law, you're something.

"How can you live in your mother's house, your daughter who marries out, what's the matter with living in your mother's house. When our Xiao family can't afford to support you, you can't do it. Move me out right away. I will give you the second child's house early, so naturally I won't wronged you, right. Li Aoxue has now moved to the second child's courtyard, you also move over, and then move after you have cleaned up your mansion. Mrs. Xiao was a little impatient, and glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law, the eldest daughter-in-law would not hide her thoughts, they were all her sons, she just didn't like Zhou Xiya anymore, and she wouldn't wronged her son, even if the emperor didn't arrange it, she would choose a suitable house for her son.

"I'm tired of my mother, but Zheng'er is still young, following us to drive and move, frequent moves, children are easy to get sick, or wait for the house to be cleaned up, let's move again, I have been married for so long, it is rare to go back to my parents' house, my father is reluctant to me, and I ask my mother to be considerate." Zhou Xiya rarely spoke softly.

"Whatever you want" Mrs. Xiao loves her grandson in the end.

Wang deflated, it was really cheap Zhou Xiya, but she didn't expect her mother-in-law to let her go.

"It just so happens that everyone has arrived, today I will tell you, the rules in this palace, the Hou Ye has become the emperor, then we must do things in accordance with the royal rules in the future, we can no longer be as loose as when we were in the Hou Mansion, you will be a concubine and a princess in the future, what to do and what not to do, weigh it in your heart, if you do something out of the ordinary, don't blame me for being ruthless, there are no rules, you must understand that your words and deeds represent the royal family." Madame Xiao looked at the people in the hall with sharp eyes.

"Yes, obey the Queen's order," everyone obeyed.

"Okay, except for the eldest daughter-in-law, everyone else should go down." Mrs. Xiao waved her hand, and she was also a little tired.

As for leaving the eldest daughter-in-law, she also wants to convey her words to the eldest son through the eldest daughter-in-law, she is not dead as a mother, she can't watch her two sons beat you to death.

Coming out of the Chengde Palace, Zhou Xiya walked behind Aunt Meng, and when she arrived at the garden, Aunt Meng turned around, "What does the second lady mean by following me?" ”

"I want to talk to Aunt Meng, I'm not afraid of disturbing you, so I haven't stepped forward." Zhou Xiya smiled, this Aunt Meng is the same age as her, she is very favored in Xiao Hou Ye, and recently gave birth to a daughter, but it did not hinder her Xiao Hou Ye's favored status, which shows that she is a very means person.

But this Aunt Meng she also got to know it, she is a smart person, and the power in the family is not big, but because she is young and beautiful, she entered the Xiao Mansion, but it is indeed not easy to climb to the current position step by step, these aunts of Marquis Xiao, Zhou Xiya synthesized all the news and decided to win over this Meng.

Coupled with the news I got from the eunuch before, since these concubines of Marquis Xiao arrived in the capital, these days, Marquis Xiao only summoned Aunt Meng to serve the qin, which shows that he is honored.

"Second lady is polite, let's go, let's go to the pavilion over there and sit down." Aunt Meng raised her hand and asked Zhou Xiya to sit down in the pavilion.

The two of them retired from the palace maid, and Aunt Meng said, "I don't know what the second lady is looking for me?" I'm a straight person, don't blame me for speaking directly, second lady? Aunt Meng covered her mouth and smiled.

"This just shows that my father loves you, otherwise it is not easy to maintain your temperament in the courtyard of the deep mansion or the palace, I was born in Jiangmen, my father and brother are both soldiers, I also like to speak straight, I think the two of us must be able to chat very happily." Zhou Xiya flattered.

"Hehehe...... Happy, I like to chat with you, I entered the house not long ago, you have not lived in the old house, we don't have many opportunities to intersect, otherwise I would have one more person to talk to, I really hate to see you late. Meng Shi smiled, and he really had a plan to make friends with the second room.

The lady in the big house has eyes above the top, and usually only slaps Mrs. Xiao, where will she put these concubines in her eyes, although she has only been in the Xiao Mansion for half a year, but she still sees everything about the Xiao family very clearly, everything in the future of the Xiao family is either the eldest son or the second son, the eldest son occupies the identity of the eldest son, and the second son has military power in his hands, and he is evenly matched. It's really impossible to say who will be in the future.

She is a concubine, a concubine in the future, after a hundred years, she always has to make some plans for herself, not to mention that she has no son now, even if she gives birth to a son, what can she do, it takes time for her son to grow up, and she does not have a strong mother's family. Therefore, only one person can be selected from Xiao Ruiqing and Xiao Jingqing's brothers. Plan for the future.

Xiao Ruiqing is too ruthless, not a good person to work with, and the other party doesn't mean this, why did she rush to get up. I didn't have to lower my status. There will be no benefit in the future.

And now Xiao Jingqing's wife is here. It means that you want to win her over, so why bother to go far away with her.

"My aunt has lifted me up, and my aunt is now very pampered. Waiting for the father to free his hand, he will definitely give the aunt a high position, although the aunt has not been in the house for a long time, but she is also the person around the father, serving the father and the emperor wholeheartedly, we are grateful for the children, and we must do our best to help the aunt, so that the aunt can not only take good care of the father, but also share the worries of the mother, after all, the queen mother is old, and you sisters need more help. Zhou Xiya took the initiative to mention it.

"The second lady really said to my heart, I am down-to-earth with your words, this has entered the palace, my heart has been up and down, I can rest assured now." Aunt Meng took Zhou Xiya's hand affectionately, but she didn't expect to give her such a big gift when they met. With a high position, she can do a lot of things, otherwise she will be canonized and her status will be low, and she will only be bullied to death by others, this palace is not a good place.

"It should be, it's just a gesture, we can't do anything else, we just hope that our father is happy, we don't ask my father to know what our children have done, just ask my father not to forget us, Xiao Jingqing doesn't know when this battle will last, and he can't always be filial piety by his father's side, but unfortunately loyalty and filial piety can't be both, and now he can only fight for his father outside." Zhou Xiya said her request vaguely.

"Who said no, the second son has worked hard, if it weren't for him, I don't know when the war will be fought, how can it be as smooth as now, the second son is indeed a great meritorious, unlike some people, who will only rely on their identity, hide in the palace, and sleep in other people's merit books, you can rest assured, I will often talk about the good of the second son in the emperor's ear." They are all smart people, so they naturally understand what Zhou Xiya's words mean.

The two looked at each other and smiled, Zhou Xiya didn't expect Aunt Meng to be so cooperative, it seems that she is really an assertive person, and she has already made it in her heart, otherwise she would not be so cooperative with her, so it's okay, it's trouble-free.

"I heard that Auntie, your father and brother are both serving in the local area, and now the war is chaotic, and the place is not safe, it is better for us to transfer them to the capital to serve, now there is no security in the capital." Zhou Xiya continued to throw out an olive branch, if you want people to sell your life to you, you naturally have to give enough benefits, so that the relationship can be stronger.

"The second lady's words can be said to my heart, and I am also very worried, but the emperor is so busy, and I don't want to trouble him with these little things, but when I arrived in the capital, I am not familiar with the place, and I don't know what to do. Aunt Meng's smile was more sincere this time.

"Where is it, if you want your aunt to be happy, don't be polite if you have anything in the future, I may not be able to enter the palace often, if there is anything you can send someone to send a message to my mother's family, naturally someone will inform me, auntie, don't be polite." Zhou Xiya is also down-to-earth, it's good to be able to buy it, what I'm afraid of is the kind of person who can't buy it, if there is a need for it, the relationship can last longer.

Coming out of the palace, Zhou Xiya leaned on the carriage a little tiredly, gently rubbed her temples, and intrigued with the people inside, she was very tired, but there were some things that she couldn't avoid, she could only deal with it, but fortunately, things were going well today.

Three days later, the emperor's canonization of the title was announced, Xiao Ruiqing and Xiao Jingqing were both princes, and other adult sons were also canonized as princes, but the gold content of this prince was not so high.

Xiao Jingqing was canonized as the king of Chu, Xiao Ruiqing was canonized as the king of Han, and Xiao Ruiqing was not immediately canonized as the crown prince, which made Zhou Xiya breathe a sigh of relief, they still have a chance.

Zhou Xiya, the princess of Chu, is also busy, Xiao Jingqing is not there, she naturally has to come forward to explain all the things, their palace is also divided, the mansion is very large, the emperor did not treat them badly, and Zhou Xiya has no opinion.

became a princess, there are more people who need to come and go, Zhou Xiya is so busy hitting the back of her head every day that she can't even take care of the child, but her father is very happy to see the child, if it weren't for the fact that the child can't speak or walk now, the father will teach the child to practice martial arts.

And in the palace where Xiao Ruiqing lived, the house was in a mess, popping, and a large vase was smashed again.

Wang stood aside and shrunk his neck, since the edict of the knighthood came down, Xianggong has lost his temper here.

"What does my father think, I operate up and down, my father didn't make me the prince, he still canonized me as the prince, I am rare and what bullshit Han Wang, I want the position of the prince." Xiao Ruiqing kicked down a chair at his feet, obviously with a lot of anger in his heart.

"Who knows what my father thinks? However, the attitude of the father was good before, and he was also very dependent on and expected of you, and let us live in the palace, and the meaning of making you the prince is obvious, who does not know up and down in the court, and now the father has changed the direction of the wind, there must be someone in the ear of the father into the slander, since this week Xiya came back, seeing her jumping up and down, there must be no less trouble, otherwise the father would not have changed his decision so easily, and the ministers in the court did not know how much she had been enveloped, we could not guard against it. The Wang family was also very dissatisfied with this result, her words were blown out, and the matter of opposing the prince was nine times safe, but now that it is like this, what face does she have.

"Check, check for me, who is involved in this matter, if I find out, see how I clean them up, dare to go against me, I will make them regret it for the rest of their lives." Xiao Ruiqing's face was ruthless.

"Needless to say, Zhou Xiya has just come back, he can influence his father's decision, this is not something that can be done easily, don't forget, there is Zhou Xiya's maiden family in the capital, that Zhou Jianxiong has a heavy army, the 300,000 troops in the north have not moved at all, his position in his father's heart should not be underestimated, and he is an old minister of the former dynasty, and he also has a deep relationship with the loyal ministers of the current court, and it is easy to influence the decision of some people, Zhou Jianxiong is Zhou Xiya's father, for the honor of the Zhou family in the future, he will definitely support Xiao Jingqing to ascend to the throne, In this way, the interests of the Zhou family can be maximized, don't care about others first, Zhou Jianxiong is a big mountain in front of us, as long as there is no Zhou Jianxiong, it will definitely be, break Xiao Jingqing's arm, and it will be much easier to beat Xiao Jingqing down when the time comes. Wang said what she thought, it was really rare for her to think of this as a woman. (To be continued.) )
