It was noon, Xie Wenxing stood in the duty room and looked outside, the officials of the previous dynasty had already left, and the officials who were busy with government affairs had gradually dispersed.

Xie Rouhui hasn't come out yet.

Although there were already chamberlains who had come to tell him that Xie Rouhui had gotten the emperor's permission to go in to see the Empress Dowager and the Empress, and things were going smoothly as they expected, Xie Wenxing was still a little apprehensive in his heart.

After all, it was a thirteen-year-old child, and it was the first time he left the house, and he saw the most honorable person in the world.

As they were pacing back and forth, two chamberlains came over with a smile and a food box.

"Lord Xie, Your Majesty has rewarded the imperial meal." They said with a bit of flattery.

Imperial Meal!

Xie Wenxing was very surprised.

"Lord Xie, the eldest lady was left by the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to dine together." The chamberlain laughed.

Really! Unexpectedly!

Xie Wenxing was overjoyed.

"Thank you, Queen Mother." He was busy saluting in the direction of the palace.

"My lord, the eldest lady was uneasy again and again, the queen asked what was wrong, the eldest lady said that she was worried about her father, and the queen mother smiled, after all, it is a child, it stands to reason that my father should be brought into the palace, but your Xie family's rules are like this, and there is no way." The chamberlain smiled and said, "The emperor also came here at this time, and knew that the adults were waiting here, so he let the imperial meal be given." ”

Xie Wenxing looked excited and solemn, straightened his clothes, bowed solemnly three times in the direction of the emperor, and stretched out his hand to respectfully take the food box.

"Thank you, Lord Long." He said in a trembling voice.

His obedient baby!

…………………………………………………….

"Isn't it safe to eat now?"

The white-haired and kind-eyed old woman on the high seat said with a smile, looking at the girl sitting upright at the bottom.

Xie Rouhui nodded. smiled at the Queen Mother, smiled and put it away.

"Rouhui, is it rude?" She asked a little uneasily, "Before I came, my mother told me." ”

The queen, who was sitting next to the Queen Mother, smiled.

"Mother, have you noticed? The child was most likely to call her mother. She said, "It seems that the family is a strict mother and father." ”

"The mourning family heard the emperor say that it is her mother who is in charge of the Xie family." The Queen Mother said, "As the head of the family, I naturally have to be stricter. ”

"No wonder I miss my father more." The queen laughed.

Xie Rouhui lowered her head.

"Although I didn't get close to my father since I was a child, I knew that my father was the same as my mother. It's all excellent for me. She said.

The Queen Mother sighed.

"How?" She asked.

"This is the rule of our Xie family." Xie Rouhui said.

The queen whispered a few words to the queen mother. explained that the Xie family is dominated by women, and men are rich and vassals at home.

"It's a Dannu, it's also a daughter." The Queen Mother said. Sigh. "Why is it so obstructed by the rules?"

"No, no. It's okay. Xie Rouhui hurriedly raised her head and said, "Niangniang, it's okay if you don't have a share in your heart." I know my father's concern for me, and my respect for him is also known to him. ”

Looking at her smiling face, the Queen Mother showed a smile.

"You kid has filial piety, very good, very good." She said, sighing again, "It's just that it's hard to settle down." ”

This last sentence of self-talk is almost inaudible.

Of course, Xie Rouhui knew that it was actually herself who sighed at the Queen Mother's uneasy sentence.

The Queen Mother's father was passed on to others, and after the Queen Mother's status was noble, her father inevitably wanted to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, but he was blamed and hindered, and finally failed to do it due to etiquette.

This has almost become the obsession of the Queen Mother, although she has no feelings for her grandfather who has never met, but she thinks that it is unfilial piety not to let the real grandfather enjoy the glory of posthumous sealing.

And she is determined to do this thing, which is filial piety.

Therefore, the Queen Mother likes filial piety people the most, especially the kind of filial piety people who are hindered by etiquette.

"Mother, why are you upset?"

A young man's voice came from outside, and with the sound of talking, a man strode in, bringing a gust of wind.

A smile bloomed on the Queen Mother's face.

"Zhen'er." She laughed, "Where did you run again?" Why don't you eat and see no one? ”

Her words fell, and the door was full of attendants.

"The king of Dongping County has arrived."

Zhou Chengzhen sat down with her clothes.

"Oh, I went to play with Uncle Nineteen, and I forgot to tell you." He said casually.

The Queen Mother smiled and didn't ask again.

Zhou Chengzhen looked at the Queen Mother.

"Mother, why are you upset?" He raised an eyebrow and said, "Did someone make you angry?" ”

Without waiting for the Queen Mother to speak, his eyes looked at Xie Rouhui, who had already stood up.

"Miss Xie, isn't it you?"

Xie Rouhui looked stunned, as if she was stunned.

"What nonsense." The Queen Mother said angrily, "I'm scared of Miss Xie, she's still a little girl." ”

Zhou Chengzhen snorted and looked at Xie Rouhui with her chin raised.

"Niangniang, you really underestimate Miss Xie, don't look at her as a little girl, she is a bad person." He said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

Xie Rouhui was even more at a loss.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The Queen Mother glared at him.

"I'm not talking nonsense." Zhou Chengzhen said, looking at the king of Dongping County who walked in and stood in the hall, "Uncle Nineteen, do you say that Miss Xie is bad?" ”

"It's not." Dongping County King said.

The queen sneered.

"Okay, Chengzhen, these are not the younger brothers and sisters in the palace who are used to being troubled by you." She said, looking at Zhou Chengzhen and stunned, "Chengzhen, why do you have so many injuries on your face?" ”

The Queen Mother hurriedly narrowed her eyes when she heard this, and then she saw that Zhou Chengzhen's nose and chin were bruised and swollen, especially her lips, and a cut was clearly visible.

"What's going on? It's broken! She shouted.

Zhou Chengzhen raised his hand to Xie Rouhui.

"She hit it." He shouted too.

The people in the room were stunned again.

Xie Rouhui's face was terrified.

"Chengzhen, don't mess around." The Queen Mother said urgently.

Zhou Chengzhen laughed.

"It's fine." He said. "I climbed through the window, but Uncle Nineteen broke in, scared me and fell down, and touched it."

As he spoke, he got up.

"I'm leaving, so as not to frighten Miss Xie."

When he said this, he pulled out his feet and left.

"What kind of windows are you turning over!" The Queen Mother said angrily in the back.

watched Zhou Chengzhen disappear into the hall like a gust of wind.

"He's just scared you." The queen looked at Xie Rouhui and smiled.

Xie Rouhui hurriedly shook her head.

"I've seen the son of the world in Bashu." She said.

"That's no longer weird." The queen laughed.

Here, the king of Dongping County stepped forward to give a gift to the queen mother.

Xie Rouhui lowered his head and saluted him again, and the king of Dongping County bowed his head.

"You've seen it too." The Queen Mother smiled.

"Yes." The two said in unison.

"He's a good one, and he's an older generation." The Queen Mother smiled, pointed to the king of Dongping County, and then pointed outside. "That's a little bastard. You don't play with him. ”

Xie Rouhui blushed.

"Thank you, mother." She said.

Shouldn't you say you don't dare? How do you say thank you?

The queen smiled.

"Thanks for what?" She asked.

Xie Rouhui raised her head, her eyes brightened.

"Empress Dowager Xie and Queen Mother, treat me like a child." She said.

The Queen Mother and the Queen were stunned for a moment, and then laughed again.

"It's just a kid." The Queen Mother smiled. Looked at the queen again. "Just like Feng'er. is a child, just because he is a prince, he is required to do this and that at a young age. The mourners who watched it were distressed. ”

The queen couldn't answer this, and laughed silently.

"Rouhui, you still have to stay in the capital for a few days, and you have nowhere else to go, so come to the palace and tell the mourning family about your Bashu." The Queen Mother said.

Xie Rouhui's joyful salute response was, and she also knew that this was the meaning of the Queen Mother's send-off.

I wanted to say a few more flattering words, but somehow I always felt that the sight of the king of Dongping on the side made her a little nervous.

This is suspicious, this is suspicious.

Xie Rouhui sued herself.

Look, the king of Dongping County looked indifferent, and there was nothing unusual.

She took a few deep breaths to keep her expression from showing any surprise.

"Thank you, Your Highness." She said to Wang Shili of Dongping County.

"Thanks for what?" The king of Dongping seemed to be a little puzzled.

"Thank you for saying good things for her." The queen laughed.

The king of Dongping County sighed.

"It should." He said with a smile.

Xie Rouhui saluted again, bowed and retired.

Although it was a smooth progress, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart when she stepped out of the palace in the spirit of 120,000 points.

In any case, today's qiē is in her hands, and she has also won the love of the Queen Mother and the Queen as she wishes.

As for the king of Dongping County, maybe it's just that she is suspicious in her heart and can't mess up by herself.

Thinking of this, the footsteps were another pause.

That's not right.

Shicai himself thanked the king of Dongping County and thanked him for saying good things for her.

He replied yes.

Should I say good things for her? Instead of her good being a fact?

Does that mean that he admits what Zhou Chengzhen said, but just for the sake of the Xie family's face, so she should be maintained?

Xie Rouhui hurriedly took a few deep breaths.

Don't think much, think more when you should think more, and don't think too much when you shouldn't.

A hand jerked in front of her.

"What do you think?"

A voice said at the same time.

Xie Rouhui whispered, took a step back from her heart, and saw Zhou Chengzhen turning from behind the pillars, raising her eyebrows and looking at her.

"Lord Shizi." She hurriedly bowed her head.

Zhou Chengzhen waved his hand.

The attendants in front and behind hurriedly stepped back a few steps.

Zhou Chengzhen leaned against the pillar.

"Miss, apologize to me." He said.

Apologize?

"Shiziye, it is not important to apologize, what matters is how to collide with Shiziye, so as not to commit it again." Xie Rouhui said, looking up at him.

Zhou Chengzhen stretched out his hand and pointed to his face.

"Hurt me in the face." He said.

Xie Rouhui looked stunned.

"Me?" She said.

Zhou Chengzhen's hand reached over.

Xie Rouhui's body tensed, but the hand stopped an inch in front of her and did not touch it.

Slender, clean fingers swirled in front of her.

"It's your exact face." He said.

Xie Roujia!

Xie Rouhui suddenly understood, and at the same time was a little surprised.

Just now? They meet again?

“… Since you all have the same face, shouldn't you apologize? Zhou Chengzhen continued.

Xie Rouhui bowed her head and saluted.

"Yes, Lord Shizi, it's all my fault, I apologize to you." She said.

Zhou Chengzhen snorted again.

"What's your fault? You didn't hit me. He said.

"The sister-in-law is at fault, the sisters have the same roots, as the eldest sister, I should naturally apologize." Xie Rouhui said.

Zhou Chengzhen smiled and sighed.

"Then do you want me to forgive your sister?" He asked.

Xie Rouhui looked at him with a calm expression.

"Yes, Your Highness, please forgive my sister." She said.

"Don't be funny." Zhou Chengzhen smiled, "A sister who is bent on killing you and replacing her, you wish she died." ”

Xie Rouhui's face was solemn, and her eyes were annoyed, ashamed, angry, and uneasy.

"Your Highness, don't listen to rumors, it's not a thing." She raised her voice.

"So you have a good relationship with your sister?" Zhou Chengzhen looked at her, "You don't want her to die at all?" ”

"That's natural, I only have such a sister." Xie Rouhui said categorically.

Zhou Chengzhen sighed.

"Then since you like your sister so much, bring her into the palace, don't take advantage of this scenery by yourself." He said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Beautiful.

Xie Rouhui looked at the handsome young man in front of her with a bewitching smile on her lips, and sighed in her heart.

Yes, such a good opportunity, how can a sister not lift up her beloved sister and let her also come to enjoy the grace of God.

Xie Rouhui lowered her head.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your magnanimity." She saluted, with sincere joy and gratitude.
