The tears of the New Year, and when King An's family and King Su's family came to the palace to pay New Year's greetings, this was obviously very unlucky and rude. Especially the person who did this, or the queen who was supposed to be the mother of the world, this scene became more and more embarrassing.

Ji Xiaotang and the others all lowered their heads and didn't look at the embarrassing scene.

Emperor Longqing didn't look at Empress Han, but beckoned to the people serving on both sides and ordered: "Help the queen go back, ask the imperial doctor to go to the Kunning Palace to diagnose the queen's pulse, so that the queen can rest well." ”

After listening to Emperor Longqing's instructions, the people serving on both sides hesitated and peeked at the Empress Dowager Han.

Obviously, everyone understands that Queen Han should not have come over from her own idea when she came over at this time. Moreover, in any case, Empress Han is the niece of Empress Dowager Han's concubine. Empress Dowager Han has always been very supportive of Queen Han.

If you want Empress Han to go, Emperor Longqing said it doesn't count, and Empress Dowager Han said it.

Emperor Longqing saw that the people on both sides were not moving, and the look on his face was a little ugly. He turned his gaze to the Empress Dowager Han.

Empress Dowager Han coughed dryly twice.

"Queen, your body is not good, so go back and rest first." Empress Dowager Han finally spoke.

Empress Han raised her teary eyes and looked at Empress Dowager Han in surprise.

Empress Dowager Han glanced at Empress Han.

"Go back and rest. You can come with your struggle, and everyone will see and speak, and this is the fulfillment of your heart. Go back and recuperate. You also heard from Your Majesty that when you get your body in order, then everything will be fine. ”

Empress Dowager Han spoke earnestly.

Queen Han's eyes showed joy.

"I listen to the Queen Mother and Your Majesty." Queen Han actually helped the little palace maid beside her to stand up slowly.

Ji Xiaotang and the others all stood aside and sent off Queen Han.

Queen Han supported the little palace maid. deliberately walked to Ji Xiaotang's side and stopped. Her eager gaze still stayed on Xuan'er's body.

Xuan'er was very quiet in Ji Xiaotang's arms, looking at Queen Han curiously with big eyes, but she didn't say a word. Empress Han for him. It seems like it's not just strange.

The little guy sensed the danger, or rather, he felt the nervousness of his mother~.

For the stranger Queen Han, Xuan'er is curious, but she has no good feelings, and she doesn't want to get close. I have to say, this is a really smart little guy. Although he can't see the world clearly, he knows how to perceive the world by distinguishing his mother's emotions.

"Elder Ge once talked about Xuan'er. said that Xuan'er is smart and cute, I saw it today, and I like it very much. Speaking of which, Xuan'er not only has to call me the imperial aunt. Let's start with the elder of the pavilion. You should also call me aunt. ”

The elder pavilion mentioned in the mouth of Queen Han naturally refers to the elder Han pavilion.

"Thanks to the love of the elder ......"

"Ge Lao also said that Xuan'er doesn't recognize life." Empress Han said to herself.

Ji Xiaotang didn't speak this time.

"Yes, when you see me, you can not cry or make trouble, you are a very rare child. Very good, Xuan'er is very good. Queen Han left these two words that were a little difficult to understand, and walked slowly by holding the little girl's shoulders.

"The queen has been ill for a long time. In the past, I could see the women who came to the palace to ask for peace. When Emperor Longqing saw that Empress Han was gone, he asked everyone to return to their seats. Then he explained what Empress Han had just said.

At that time, there were also women who brought children into the palace to greet Queen Han. Queen Han likes children, but children don't like her. Older children are fine, children as big as Xuan'er often cry once they get close to Queen Han.

Queen Han stopped seeing people later, and in addition to physical reasons, she also had something to do with this incident.

It was the first time Ji Xiaotang had heard of such a thing, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Emperor Longqing said these two words, and then changed the topic.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the two families of King An's Mansion and King Su's Mansion came to the palace to pay New Year's greetings, and Emperor Longqing had to be worshiped by the courtiers, and the women also came to the palace. Queen Han went back to Kunning Palace, no longer came out to see people, and all the women went to Cining Palace to kowtow to Empress Dowager Han for the New Year.

There were more people in the hall, Zheng Gui brought Qin Yu, Ji Xiaotang hugged Xuan'er, and they got together.

After a while, another banquet was set up in Cining Palace, and the Empress Dowager Han deliberately asked Ji Xiaotang to sit beside her, and Zheng Gui sat in the hands of an elderly lady of the clan, opposite Ji Xiaotang.

The banquets in the palace are always boring, but fortunately they end quickly.

All the women said goodbye and left, only Ji Xiaotang and Zheng Gui stayed behind.

Empress Dowager Han wants to leave Ji Xiaotang to speak, and Ji Xiaotang also has to wait for Qin Zhen to pick her up. Zheng Gui didn't stay, he just said that he wanted to go out for a walk, so he left with Qin Yu.

Empress Dowager Han's gaze followed the backs of Zheng Gui and Qin Yu, and it wasn't until the two of them left the main hall that she slowly withdrew her gaze.

"Why is this little guy refreshed again?" Empress Dowager Han looked at Xuan'er in Ji Xiaotang's arms and asked with a smile.

In this half a day's work, Xuan'er has already fed and slept in the nurse's arms, and when she woke up at this time, she was full of energy.

Knowing that Empress Dowager Han was talking to him, Xuan'er held her two little hands and grinned her little ~ mouth.

Even when Empress Dowager Han saw Xuan'er's appearance, she couldn't help but like it a little.

"You're still intimate with me." Empress Dowager Han teased Xuan'er, then leaned back on the pillow, and her tone became a little gloomy, "Yu'er is so old that she is willing to bring it into the palace to meet me and Your Majesty." When we met, we still smiled and guarded us all as enemies. ”

The people serving on the left and right were all sent down by the Empress Dowager Han, and only two palace maids served beside them, naturally they were all the henchmen of the Empress Dowager Han.

One of them is Yang Pianpian.

Ji Xiaotang was also accustomed to Yang Pianpian being by the side of the Empress Dowager Han, and only listened to the Empress Dowager Han quietly, and did not pay attention to Yang Pianpian.

"Xiaotang, you are a smart person. Why did they bring Yu'er into the palace in a hurry? Still trying to please Your Majesty in every possible way? It's just watching Xuan'er please me and Your Majesty, and they are jealous in their hearts. I was anxious ......"

Empress Dowager Han sneered a few times, and her eyes fell on Ji Xiaotang's face again.

"Xiaotang, this person's heart is unpredictable. What do they think because ...... jealousy and hatred, you don't need me to remind you......"

Empress Dowager Han's tone was concerned, but her eyes were staring at Ji Xiaotang almost without blinking, as if she was afraid of missing the slightest change in Ji Xiaotang's expression.

Ji Xiaotang's face was as usual, and he didn't speak immediately, just slandered.

Hatred out of jealousy. Isn't this exactly the situation and result that Empress Dowager Han wants?!

"As long as the Queen Mother and Her Majesty love Xuan'er, what others think and do. What do we have to worry about? "What Ji Xiaotang said was clear and clear.

Empress Dowager Han smiled, but her gaze was quite complicated.

"Xiaotang, Xuan'er is not in the palace, not by my side and Your Majesty~. I'm afraid that there will inevitably be times when I can't take care of it. …… It's hard to prevent. The whip is beyond ...... length."

Ji Xiaotang's heart couldn't help but move.

Empress Dowager Han said a few words, and seeing that Ji Xiaotang was not very enthusiastic, she was also very indifferent, and later chatted with Ji Xiaotang about family life, until Zheng Gui came back.

"Yu'er, why didn't I follow you?" Empress Dowager Han asked Zheng Gui.

"Back to the Queen Mother, Yu'er followed the prince in the Qianqing Palace." Emperor Longqing met Qin Zhen, Qin Lin and Qin Yu alone in the Qianqing Palace, and has now sent a few people out. Zheng Gui came to Cining Palace to bid farewell to the Empress Dowager Han. At the same time, it is also a notice to Ji Xiaotang.

"That's it, I know you're busy, and husband and wife can't leave, go back for the time being, remember to come to the palace often to see me." Empress Dowager Han waved her hand and allowed Ji Xiaotang and Zheng Gui to retire.

Ji Xiaotang and Zheng Gui saluted and were about to go out.

"By the way, next time you enter the palace, remember to ......" Empress Dowager Han stopped Ji Xiaotang, "Remember to bring your sister's child to me too, I heard that you raised her very well." ”

Empress Dowager Han said this with a smile.

Ji Xiaotang's face stiffened for a moment, she slowly lowered her head, but her mouth responded.

The corners of Empress Dowager Han's mouth showed a malicious smile that was almost undisguised, and she waved her hand, this time she really let Ji Xiaotang go.

Zheng Gui didn't hang her head, she not only saw Ji Xiaotang's instantly stiff face, but also saw the malicious smile on Empress Dowager Han's face clearly.

Not long after leaving Cining Palace, they met Qin Zhen and Qin Lin and their party.

When Qin Zhen saw Ji Xiaotang, he immediately frowned slightly.

Not only did Qin Zhen notice Ji Xiaotang's abnormal mood, but Qin Lin also noticed it. Qin Lin glanced at Zheng Gui, and Zheng Gui winked at Qin Lin. Qin Lin immediately knew that something must have happened.

Everyone was in one place, and Qin Lin asked Zheng Gui if he was not good.

"Xiaotang, what's wrong?" Qin Zhen walked to Ji Xiaotang's side, naturally took Xuan'er from Ji Xiaotang's arms, and asked Ji Xiaotang in a low voice.

Ji Xiaotang shook his head with a smile, but the smile was far from reaching the bottom of his eyes.

Qin Zhen knew that something really happened, but it was not good to continue to ask at the moment.

The group went out of the palace like this, and when they arrived outside the palace gate, Qin Lin came over and said that he wanted to discuss some things with Qin Zhen.

"It's a nice day today, so it's good to just walk around like this." Qin Lin and Qin Zhen walked to the front, and Zheng Gui came over with a smile to discuss with Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang hesitated slightly, then nodded.

Zheng Gui had something to tell her, so she gave Zheng Gui this opportunity.

The carriages and horses and the entourage all followed, Qin Yu and Qin Ying walked together, Xuan'er was held by the nurse and followed behind, Zheng Gui and Ji Xiaotang walked slowly towards the front.

Outside the Forbidden Palace, Jinshui Bridge, Da~ An empty open space, there are no pedestrians, and the guards are also standing far away, so there is no need to worry about who will hear them talking.

"Xiaotang, I want to thank you today." Zheng Gui solemnly thanked Ji Xiaotang.

It was Ji Xiaotang and Xuan'er who relieved Qin Yu, not only saved Qin Yu, but also allowed her and Qin Lin to avoid conflict with Empress Dowager Han.

"Xiaotang, you have Xuan'er, you can understand my feelings better. The Queen Mother, she treated Yu'er like that, I knew that she had bad intentions, but there was no way at all. Speaking of the situation at that time, Zheng Gui's voice trembled a little. Xiaotang, you must have thought that in public, she was just scaring us and scaring Yu'er, if you really think like that, you are very wrong. ”

Zheng Gui told Ji Xiaotang: "At that time, she really knew how to do it!" ”

Ji Xiaotang showed a look of surprise on his face.

"She can climb to where she is today, do you know how many ways she can silently harm people in front of people?"

"Sister Gui......" Ji Xiaotang looked at Zheng Gui, hoping that she could explain in more detail.

As Zheng Gui expected, Ji Xiaotang is very concerned about this topic.

“…… The people on the spot didn't feel anything, and they didn't know her way, but when they left, they didn't live for twelve hours. ”

"Is there such a way to harm people?!"

"Why not, I don't know how many unjust ghosts have died under her means. Xiaotang, think about it carefully, do you still need me to remind you again? Zheng Gui looked at Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang's eyes gradually became gloomy.

Zheng Gui knew that Ji Xiaotang must have thought of something.

"Xiaotang, you think carefully. She has harmed more people than you can imagine, and more terrible than you can imagine. ”

Zheng Gui said this, and refused to continue to say more.

"Xiaotang, today you can come forward to save Yu'er, the prince and I can see your heart clearly. The prince, I and Yu'er are grateful to you all my life. Your heart for Yu'er is the heart of the prince and me for Xuan'er. …… I know that she must provoke in front of you, but I also believe that you will not be used by her and provoked by her. ”

"Xuan'er will always be Yu'er's brother, and the prince and I treat Xuan'er as equal."

Ji Xiaotang understood that Zheng Gui was showing her that Su Wangfu would not harm Xuan'er.

"Sister Gui, your heart for Xuan'er is the heart for me and the prince to treat Yu'er." Ji Xiaotang looked at Zheng Gui and said frankly.

Zheng Gui nodded again and again, seemingly very pleased. She knew that even if she didn't discuss with Qin Zhen in advance, Ji Xiaotang would be able to speak on behalf of Qin Zhen.

"Xiaotang, we'll make up our minds."

"It's a deal." Ji Xiaotang nodded.

The two walked slowly for a while and said some words, and Qin Zhen and Qin Lin stood in front and waited for them.

In the end, Zheng Gui and Ji Xiaotang said goodbye with a smile and got into the carriage separately.

Ji Xiaotang was sitting in the carriage, the curtain was slowly falling, she could still see Zheng Gui waving goodbye to her, and Qin Yu was also smiling at her.

King An's Mansion let the car of King Su's Mansion go first, and the carriages and horses of the two mansions walked forward for a while, and then they separated at the intersection and returned to their homes.

In the carriage, Ji Xiaotang relayed what Zheng Gui said to Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen listened with a smile and was noncommittal.

When they returned to King An's Mansion, the two of them went to the upper room of Xuchun Hall, took off their coats, changed into homely clothes, and asked the servants to take Qin Ying and Xuan'er down to rest, and the two sat opposite each other on the kang and drank tea.

"Xiaotang, between leaving the palace, what happened in Cining Palace?" Qin Zhen asked Ji Xiaotang, "Why is your face so ugly?" ”

Ji Xiaotang didn't answer immediately, but slowly took a sip of fragrant tea, and then gently put the teacup down.

"Before Sister Gui and I left, the Queen Mother specially said something to me." (To be continued.) )
