Empress Ye looked concerned and loving, and said in a tone of wholehearted concern for Chen Yuanzhao: "Miss Xu Er and Yuan Zhao want to delay their marriage for a year or two, and Yuan Zhao will always have someone around him to take care of him." The palace rewarded two smart and clever palace maids to Yuan Zhao and took care of Yuan Zhao's daily life. In this way, it doesn't hurt that Yuan Zhao will get married later. ”

Xu Jinyu was defenseless, and suddenly heard these words, and her heart sank. quickly raised his eyes and glanced at Queen Ye.

Queen Ye, who is over fifty years old, has a declining and drooping appearance, and her smile is very gentle. But under this gentle appearance, there is a vicious and ruthless heart

Queen Ye knew that Chen Yuanzhao didn't like women, so she deliberately rewarded two more palace maids at the threshold of marriage, didn't she deliberately embarrass Chen Yuanzhao and embarrass her?

But Queen Ye's reward, how can she refuse?

Ye's complexion changed slightly, and anger instantly surged into his heart.

Empress Ye didn't give Ye a chance to refuse politely, and immediately ordered the female official on the side to call two palace maids over.

These two palace maids were about seventeen or eighteen years old. One has a slender figure and a charming appearance, and the other has delicate and fair facial features. The two palace maids stood together shyly and respectfully, each with its own touching.

Empress Ye said with a smile: "These two palace maids are people around the palace, and they have been trained for three or four years, and they are also clever. The one on the left is called Qingman, and the other is called Qingtong. Qingman has a plump body, has the appearance of a suitable child, Qingtong is literate and reads, and there is no problem with reading and keeping accounts. ”

He also instructed Qingman and Qingtong: "From today onwards, this palace will reward the two of you to Yuan Zhao." The two of you have met Duchess An Guo first, as well as Miss Xu Er. ”

The green vines and green trees should go down together. Lianbu moved lightly, and gave a salute: "Slave Qingman (Qingtong), I have seen Mrs. I've seen Miss Xu Er. ”

Is this a buy one, get two free? It's still the one you can't refuse!

Ye suppressed the anger in his heart, and said with a smile: "The queen mother is so considerate and cares about Yuan Zhao, Yuan Zhao knows it, and I don't know how happy I will be in my heart." The courtier's ancestor Yuan Zhao thanked the mother. ”

After a pause, he sighed in embarrassment: "However, Niangniang should also know Yuan Zhao's strange temper." He has been in the barracks since he was a child, and he never wants to be close to women on weekdays. I never want a maid to serve me. Qingman and Qingtong can be brought back to the Anguo Mansion, but Yuan Zhaoken refused to let the two of them serve, and the courtiers did not dare to guarantee it. ”

Empress Ye looked at the hidden anger in Ye's eyes. I feel very comfortable. The sullenness that had been held for several months suddenly dissipated: "It's not appropriate for my sister to say that." The palace specially rewarded the two beautiful and clever palace maids to Yuan Zhao, how could Yuan Zhao refuse to accept it. This palace believes that my sister will be able to handle this little thing properly. ”

Yip: ""

This is simply a dilemma of righteousness and brightness!

Empress Ye not only asked her to take the two palace maids back. also asked her to stuff these two palace maids to Chen Yuanzhao. There is a slight relaxation between mother and son. Nine times out of ten, there will be a stalemate again because of this matter!

Queen Ye really has bad intentions

"Why doesn't my sister speak?" Empress Ye's voice sounded: "Could it be that you feel embarrassed?" Or are you worried that Miss Xu Er will be jealous and unhappy? ”

The last sentence is clearly instigating the relationship between Ye and Xu Jinyu.

Xu Jinyu couldn't pretend to be a quail anymore and kept silent: "The queen's mother said this, which really embarrassed the people's daughters. Have the folk girls studied? Women's training?? Female commandments?, and also know the truth that women should be virtuous and virtuous. The queen specially rewarded two palace maids to serve General Chen, and the people were still grateful, so how could they be jealous. ”

No matter how angry you are in your heart, you must never show it on your face.

Queen Ye made it clear that she wanted to use these two palace maids to respond to Ye's mother and son, and she was also quietly giving her a boost. Look at this stance. The green vines and green trees must be brought back to the Chen family.

Empress Ye was quite happy when she heard the expected answer. He praised with a smile: "Miss Xu Er is so virtuous, Yuan Zhao will marry you in the future, and the inner house will be harmonious and peaceful, which is also his blessing." Sister, Miss Xu Er has no objection, what do you think? ”

With this moment of buffer, the Ye family quickly came back to his senses, and squeezed out a smile and said: "The courtiers Dai Yuanzhao thanked the mother for her generous gift. ”

Without knowing it, Chen Yuanzhao already had two more special identity rooms.

Of course, Empress Ye had bad intentions.

Chen Yuanzhao and Ye's mother-son relationship is cold and not harmonious. Back then, the Ye family picked a few beautiful maids for Chen Yuanzhao, but Chen Yuanzhao didn't appreciate it at all, and unceremoniously drove the maids out of the yard. This incident is well known to everyone in the capital.

Ye personally asked Chen Yuanzhao to marry Xu Jinyu, firstly, he hoped that Chen Yuanzhao would marry a wife and have children as soon as possible, and if he had an heir, he would have a reason to ask for the title of son in a righteous and bright way. The second is to use such a move to curry favor with Chen Yuanzhao and ease the relationship between mother and son. Now leading the two beautiful and enchanting palace maids back, it is strange that Chen Yuanzhao is not angry!

and Xu Jinyu, who has not yet married into the Anguo Mansion, and her husband has two special identity rooms by her side, and she must be very aggrieved.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he placed two eyeliners in the Anguo Mansion in a bright and bright way.

That's exactly what it takes to kill three birds with one stone!

Queen Ye was proud in her heart and was in a very happy mood.

Ye's heart was gloomy, but he didn't want to show it, he squeezed out a smile, and looked casual.

Xu Jinyu's expression was also calm and calm, but his heart was like a huge wave churning, and the waves were turbulent.

This Queen Ye is deep in thought and ruthless. Chen Yuanzhao wants to deal with the King of Chu, but he can't bypass Queen Ye. In the future, she will marry Chen Yuanzhao, and the husband and wife will share the same hatred, and Queen Ye is naturally her enemy

As for the two palace maids, Xu Jinyu didn't pay attention to it.

If Chen Yuanzhao was so easily fascinated by beauty, he would not be alone all the time.

Next, many ladies entered the palace one by one to meet them.

Xu Jinyu stood quietly beside Ye, hanging her head and saying nothing. Gradually, I realized that there were two unkind eyes looking at me from time to time.

Who is it?

Xu Jinyu raised her eyes quickly and quietly, and quickly caught those two gazes.

The woman standing beside Queen Ye was in a slender posture. The appearance is beautiful and glamorous, and the dress is luxurious and exquisite. It was Princess Ye Qiuyun of Chu.

Ye Qiuyun saw Xu Jinyu raise her eyes to look at her, not only did she not have a weak heart. Instead, he gave a defiant look

She is married to the King of Chu, shouldn't she still miss Chen Yuanzhao! Jin Yu felt that this person was contemptible and ridiculous, so she didn't bother to pay attention to her, and quickly looked away.

Ye Qiuyun's anger quickly piled up in his heart.

Xu Jinyu was disdainful of her!

One day, she wants Xu Jinyu to know how powerful she is

By the time all the ladies had finished, it was nearly noon.

Next, there is the banquet in the palace.

The location of the banquet is naturally exquisite. You have to sit down one by one according to your grade, and if you sit wrong, you will inevitably be embarrassed and laughed at. Concubine Ji Xian and several other high-ranking concubines accompanied Empress Ye to a seat, and the crown princess, Princess Qin and others sat at a table. The low-grade concubines in the palace are another seat. The ladies sat in two seats, and the daughters of the boudoir who entered the palace with the elders of the family sat the last seat.

Xu Jinyu sat in this last seat.

Coincidentally, there are many familiar faces at this table. Most of them were seen at the Ye family's flower-viewing banquet that time. Zuo Jiaoniang and Zhao Hui are also among them.

In the eyes of the two of them, their wishful son-in-law was snatched away by Xu Jinyu. Meet at this time. There is a bit of a feeling that rivals in love are red-eyed when they meet.

"Congratulations, Miss Xu." Zuo Jiaoniang took the lead in opening her mouth without smiling: "Today, the queen mother personally opened her mouth to give marriage, this glory and dignity is really enviable." ”

"This is Miss Xu's blessing, I can't envy it!" Zhao Hui took over the conversation, and there was an imperceptible sourness in her tone: "No one in this capital knows that General Chen has a deep affection for Miss Xu. If it weren't for General Chen's pleading in front of the queen's mother, how could Miss Xu have a chance to enter the palace today. There will be no good thing for the queen to give marriage. ”

Savor it, and say it more mean than the other.

Xu Jinyu was full of worries, and she really didn't want to pay attention to these childish provocations. But. The two of them were aggressive, and she had no reason to back down.

Xu Jinyu deliberately squeezed out a shy and happy smile: "I can get Yuan Zhao's admiration." It's the privilege of my three lives! ”

The delicate Yuan Zhao, Zuo Jiaoniang and Zhao Hui who listened to it were sour, not to mention the jealousy and anger in their hearts. I just couldn't think of anything to deal with

After the angry two were speechless, the roots of their ears suddenly became much clearer.

Soon, rows of palace maids brought up the imperial meal.

The banquet in the palace is reserved and decent. No one can fill their stomachs at such a feast. Xu Jinyu had already prepared, and deliberately ate more for breakfast, and she was not hungry at this time, so she ate a few bites and put her chopsticks aside.

The other girls are similar.

It's a pity that less than one-fifth of the food on such a table of exquisite imperial meals is eaten, which is really a waste.

After the imperial meal, there are silk and bamboo songs and dances in the main hall to enjoy. By this time, the atmosphere had also relaxed. Those who are familiar with each other can take advantage of this time to whisper and laugh, which will not attract attention.

Xu Jinyu made up her mind that she must choose a quiet corner to sit and get through this hour before leaving the palace

The plan is very good, but unfortunately the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes. Before she entered the main hall, she was stopped by a cheerful and lovely voice: "Jin Niang! Wait a minute! ”

Xu Jinyu paused and turned around.

A delicate girl's face came into view.

It is Princess Murong Xiang of Anning.

Today, Princess An Ning has been staying by Concubine Ji Xian's side, and she sat down with the crown princess during the palace banquet. Xu Jinyu couldn't wait to stay away from Princess An Ning, of course, she didn't pretend to be familiar with the opportunity to talk.

Unexpectedly, she didn't move forward, but Princess An Ning took the initiative to come to her.

Princess An Ning lifted the hem of her skirt and quickly walked to Xu Jinyu's side, took Xu Jinyu's hand enthusiastically and said, "Jinniang, we haven't seen each other for a few months, and I have been thinking about you in my heart." I was thinking about finding an opportunity to go out of the palace to find you, but I didn't expect you to enter the palace today. Come, sit down with me, and we'll talk for a while. ”

Princess An Ning was so enthusiastic, Xu Jinyu couldn't refuse, so she had to respond with a smile.

Princess An Ning affectionately took Xu Jinyu's hand and entered the main hall, but fortunately she did not sit next to Concubine Ji Xian, but chose the second row of seats.

Obviously, Princess An Ning had something to say to her, so she chose a position that was not eye-catching.

Xu Jinyu thought quietly, her face was silent, and she sat down with Princess An Ning

Princess An Ning was gossiping, and she didn't get into the topic for a long time, Xu Jinyu had always been calm, smiling and listening to Princess An Ning.

"A few months ago, the queen mother was seriously ill, and the eldest brother and third brother went into the palace every day to serve the sick, and I also came to Yanfu Palace every day. There is no time to leave the palace. Later, when the weather got cold, I got sick again. So during this time, I have never been out of the palace. ”

Princess An Ning's words were quite regretful.

She hasn't been out of the palace for a few months, which means that she has never had the opportunity to see Xu Zheng again.

The girl's love is beginning to open, and the feelings are strong and sincere. Although I haven't been able to meet, the affection in my heart has not been weak, but has become more and more intense. Such a secret girl's mind naturally can't be told to anyone.

Xu Jinyu pretended not to know anything, and smiled to comfort Princess An Ning: "Her Royal Highness the princess, the golden branches and jade leaves, should have stayed in the palace, and it is inconvenient to leave the palace easily." ”

Princess An Ning smiled helplessly: "The golden branches and jade leaves sound good, but in fact, they are just birds in a cage." My cage is more delicate than the other women. ”

On the occasion of the New Year, it is naturally inappropriate to say such things. Princess An Ning quickly changed the topic: "I haven't had time to congratulate you yet." The queen mother personally gave you and General Chen a marriage, and you have a wishful husband, which is gratifying. ”

Xu Jinyu blushed slightly and responded: "Cheng His Royal Highness's auspicious words." ”

Princess An Ning looked at Xu Jinyu's blushing face, and the longing for Xu Zheng in her heart became more and more thirsty, and she couldn't help asking, "Did you hear that Xu Zheng was admitted to the Yuan Examination in the Autumn of this Branch?" At that time, I was in the palace, and I couldn't go to congratulate in person, and I always regretted it in my heart! ”

Sure enough, I still can't forget Xu Zheng!

Xu Jinyu pretended not to pay attention to the sudden flash of light in Princess An Ning's eyes, and responded with a smile: "Yes, eldest brother has been studying for the Yuan exam, and he has been busy studying these days to prepare for next year's Spring Festival." ”

Princess Anning's heart fluttered.

Xu Zhengcai is outstanding in learning and has taken the Qiu Qiu Xie Yuan. In the spring of next year, it should be no problem to pass the Jinshi examination. It would be better if you could get into the top three of the first class.

Although the Xu family has a humble background, if they have the fame of the champion list, they are barely qualified to be selected as a concubine. The mother concubine has always loved her, as long as she opens her mouth to plead, the mother concubine will nod nine times out of ten. When the time comes, the mother concubine will go to plead with her father. Perhaps, Xu Zheng can become her concubine

Princess An Ning thought about it, and the more she thought about it, the more joyful she became.

Xu Jinyu had been paying attention to the change in Princess An Ning's expression, and when she saw her flushed face and intoxicating eyes, she couldn't help frowning secretly.

Princess An Ning shouldn't have the idea of letting Xu Zheng be a colt!

That's not going to work! (To be continued......)
