Boom, the fine porcelain shattered all over the place, and Shui Yueju dismissed all the maid rings, and there was no longer the tranquility of the night.

Ouyang Yun was furious, and when she saw what she was falling, she cursed: "Damn slut, why can she be the county lord, why!" There was another crunch.

Aunt Liu was also so angry that her face turned blue, and she had won the title of county lord in just a few days, and she was also exempted from a qiē rule in the palace, why did such a big honor fall on the body of that cheap girl.

"Mother!" Ouyang Yun looked at Aunt Liu and said: "You have to think of a way, I will lower that slut by half a head because of the difference between the concubines in the mansion, and now that I have been crowned the county lord, I am even more bullied on my head, how good is this!" She really couldn't swallow this breath, why should all good things be that slut.

Although Aunt Liu is angry, there is no way to do it, the name of the county lord is now sealed by the saint, what can she do, she is just a small concubine, she can still have a place in the house, how can she be compared with those nobles in the palace.

"Mother knows that she has wronged you, but there is no way to do it, who made that cheap girl win the favor of the emperor and be canonized." Aunt Liu said with relief: "Don't envy the cheap girl, maybe the emperor's canonization has another purpose, think about it carefully, how can she, a young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, compare to the princess of the royal family, but it is for the sake of the master's meritorious work, and the dignity she gives." If you want to make peace in the future or give it to the ministers of the court or something, the name of the county lord will not be used. ”

"But ......" Ouyang Yun was still uncomfortable in her heart, "What if the slut is accused of being the princess?" In that case, the slut would be even higher than her, and she would have to kneel down and salute when she saw the slut, which was not the result she wanted.

"It can't be." Aunt Liu was very determined and said: "Who would like a vicious woman, not to mention that she went to the red street regardless of etiquette, righteousness and shame, she has fallen to the lower class, and ruined her reputation for nothing, this is a well-known fact, how can it be pointed to the prince as a concubine, the princess is a beautiful lady with both talent and virtue, you look at her male appearance, how can she be worthy of the name of virtuous and virtuous." A person with an identity would not marry such a woman after thinking about it for a long time, and he ruined the family style in vain. ”

Ouyang Yun was half angry when she heard this, and her heart was still panicked.

Although Xi Chao did not go out to receive the decree, she knew the above meaning, and she could finally step into the palace again and see her father and brother who loved her.

"Master, the clothes and decorations that will enter the palace tomorrow, Manager Li said that the master can be at will." Hongrui entered the house and returned.

"Hmm." The Xi Dynasty didn't care much about what clothes and ornaments he wore to enter the palace, and the purpose was not that anyway.

"It looks like I can't sleep tonight." Midori quipped.

"When the two mothers and daughters see their masters in the future, they have to kneel and salute, and their faces must be good." Hongming chuckled.

"Master, go to bed, leave the green sound and the red light to keep vigil, and you can go to sleep too." Hongming went into the house to clean up.

The next day, Ouyang Ye waited for the Xi Dynasty to enter the palace together, and the carriage had been prepared outside the palace.

Xi Chao was dressed in silver moonlight men's clothes to make people more upright and handsome, followed by Hong Ming and Hong Rui, and when he saw the carriage, he frowned almost undetectably.

However, Ouyang Ye, who saw the Xi Dynasty, had no good face, the reason was naturally the dress of the Xi Dynasty, and he said unhappily: "This time I entered the palace to thank you, how can you see the emperor in men's clothes!" ”

"Don't bother with the prime minister." Hongrui stepped forward and said, "The emperor will not blame. ”

Xi Chao ignored the two people's answers, and got into the carriage by herself, she didn't need to look at other people's faces to live, nor did she need to look up to others.

"What will the courtiers think?" Seeing that Xi Chao didn't care, Ouyang Ye was angry, no matter how he said that he was also her nominal father, he didn't even have the least respect, he could do whatever he wanted, and never put his father in his eyes, if he continued like this, it would undoubtedly attract suspicion and be detrimental to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"The prime minister has thought too much." Xi Chao was unwilling to delay any longer, and said unhurriedly: "No one dares to defy the emperor's authority. ”

Ouyang Ye couldn't know that it was useless to say more, so he sighed lightly and got on the sedan chair and went to the palace.

After about half an hour of walking to the main gate of the palace, the guards guarding the door saw that it was the sedan chair of the Prime Minister's Mansion and saluted, and saw a man and two women behind the Prime Minister for routine inquiry.

"Who are these three?" The guards looked at the three.

"Honorable County Lord." Hong Ming stepped forward and showed the jade plaque that proved the identity of the county lord.

Although the guards were surprised, they let them go after seeing the jade plaque.

Ouyang Ye was slightly stunned, in yesterday's reward, he remembered that there was no jade plate, however, as the county lord, there was no jade plate, the emperor made an exception, he thought about it in his heart but did not say it, even if he said some things, it was useless, and it was the direction of the court that led the people.

The officials who came to the court arrived one after another, and several sharp-eyed officials automatically stepped forward to greet Ouyang Ye after seeing him.

"Who's with the Prime Minister?" Someone asked.

"I don't know, why did you bring it now, could it be that the emperor summoned me?" There are suspicions.

"Why does the face saint still have a handmaiden?" This is no joke.

"That young man is so good-looking, don't you be the concubine of the prime minister, right?"

"They don't look very alike."

Several people walked and chatted together, and a familiar colleague suddenly spoke: "I know who it is!" ”

"Who?" A few people listened with their ears open.

"Do you still remember the case of Zhao Mingli, which caused a storm in the city a few days ago?"

"You mean that the young man is the daughter of the prime minister!" It's incredible, how you don't look like a girl.

"No, you can't see it at all, do you?"

"Indeed." Several agreed.

"Looks like a thanksgiving."

"The Ouyang family is honored and favored, and it only because of a case that the emperor has won the emperor's eye, and he has made an exception to be named the lord of Zunyi."

"Honorable?" A few people frowned slightly.

"Yes, this title is a bit too big, and a little girl who is only eleven years old has caught up with the princess." Even the princess does not have such a noble title.

"Then why is she still wearing men's clothes, she is not afraid ......"

"Then who knows, this woman must be fearless even if she dares to wear it."

"Maybe the emperor allowed it, haven't you heard, aren't you even exempted from the rules in the palace?"

"That's right."

"Hmph, one of her daughters is really losing the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion by dressing up like this."

"Yo, what the hell are we doing with that heart, that's someone's housework."

"Don't you know that this woman is so bold that she doesn't even care about the princess, who cares about her reputation, as far as I know, this woman often shows up in men's clothes."

"The Prime Minister didn't care about it before, so arrogant?"

"I heard that this woman is young and sick, and she can't be treated, the prime minister inquired in many ways to find a famous doctor and sent her out for treatment, and was able to take her back to the house at the eleventh year, and the young widowed mother was sent out for many years, the prime minister has a lot of affairs, how can he have time to take care of the young girl, eleven years is enough time to change some things, and how can he be willing to restrain his heart."

"In two or three years, when you reach the age of discussing relatives, you will definitely not choose after inquiry."

"Then let's not bother." A few people laughed.

"Not necessarily, maybe there will be a marriage, the emperor values the prime minister, and makes his daughter the county lord, and some want to cling to it."

"Then it depends on whether the person who wants to climb the high branch has a life, marry a tigress back home, don't mention how to live this day."

"We'll have to see what it's rumored to the outside world."

"She can abolish Zhao Mingli without thinking, just from the surface, she is not a good stubble."

"What the truth is, no one who saw it that night has ever come out to publicize it, I'm afraid there is something untrue."

"If the matter is true, it will have to be another matter, maybe the prime minister did something overnight?"

"What do you do with so much, anyway, I don't like this woman, you look at her face carefully, it's a pity that the beauty has a face, and it makes people feel uncomfortable."

Several people looked at each other again and nodded: "Indeed, the person who doesn't know his identity really can't tell whether it's a man or a woman, and it doesn't look like it's pretending." ”

"I act like a man, and I really can't pretend to be it."

"It seems that the prime minister, this woman will not be simple."

"When you get to the Qinzheng Palace, you will naturally see the difference." Several people walked up the stone steps quickly without saying a word.

Outside the Qinzheng Palace, Li Desheng personally greeted him, and when he saw the chief manager around the emperor, he was polite to him regardless of the size of his official position, and some people had doubts in their hearts, who is the most powerful person around the emperor to welcome?

Seeing the people waiting for him approaching little by little, Li Desheng was overjoyed, he watched His Royal Highness grow up and now become more and more handsome, worthy of the master's blood.

"The county lord is here, and the emperor is in the side hall." Li Desheng greeted him eagerly.

"Hmm." The tide was breezy and light, and he was very happy in his heart.

"Mr. Li." Ouyang Ye's gaze swept towards his colleagues who were looking at him, and he frowned slightly.

"The Prime Minister will go first, and the emperor will summon the county lord now." How could Li Desheng not see what Ouyang Ye was worried about at this time.

"Mr. Li, please." Ouyang Ye didn't say much when he got the words, and glanced at Xichao when he left, which meant that he was not named.

Xi Chao followed Li Desheng into the side hall, saw his father, the ice on his face thawed instantly, walked forward quickly, and stepped forward to hug his father happily after giving a big salute.

"Chao'er." Mu Haoyu hugged his little daughter, his eyes couldn't help but redden, "What grievances have you suffered?" "Although it is written in the secret fold from the Dark Guard, it is not as good as asking in person.

"It's good, don't worry about it." Xi Chao let go of his hand and noticed his father's temples were already a little gray, and said with a sour heart: "Father should pay more attention to his body." ”

Looking at his beloved daughter, Mu Haoyu was happy and nodded and said yes. asked some more on the side, and Li Desheng on the side reminded that it was the time of the last dynasty.

"Ming'er has to be idle today in the garden behind, you can go by yourself." Mu Haoyu stroked his daughter's head and said, "I'll stay for dinner for a while." ”

"Okay." Xi Chao answered, walked through the side door, found the secret door leading to the back garden, and walked in.

As soon as Xi Chao entered the garden, Mu Jinming, who was practicing martial arts, saw it at a glance, and quickly stepped forward and stretched out his arms to hold the person in his arms, the two were of the same height, and Xi Chao was dressed in brocade men's clothes, and the two stood together in response to the sentence that a gentleman is like jade.

"Now that you've been named the county lord, you can enter the palace whenever you want." Mu Jinming pulled Xichao and sat down.

"Let's keep it low-key." The Xi Dynasty is already in the limelight today, and she understands the truth of the tree.

"You have already been out of the limelight in the case of Zhao Mingli." Mu Jin knew the news of going to Beijing clearly, not to mention that the news of his sister had already spread loudly.

"Well, it will fade after a while." It would be better if there was something else to divert everyone's attention, Xi Chao thought.

"How's the situation in the palace?" Xi Chao noticed that he frowned slightly, Mu Jinming.

"The palace concubine has some small movements." Annoying him, Mu Jinming took a sip of tea and said, "It's not a big problem." ”

"You can't go wrong with being careful." Xi Chao couldn't help much, so he could only ask his brother to pay more attention.

"I'll take care of your reassurance." Mu Jinming talked about some of the things in the court recently.

"How's the Dark Guard training?" The Xichao left the palace before mentioning a few points about the reorganization of the secret guards.

"The training was effective as you asked." At the mention of this, Mu Jinming smiled fully, "You still have a way, the light skills of the dark guard have improved a lot, and the hand-to-hand combat is even more flexible." "He also trains with him every day, which is very rewarding.

"By the way, my father intends to let you take over the eighteen guards." The day before yesterday, his father had mentioned this matter and asked what he meant, after all, the eighteen guards were only loyal to the emperor's guards, and they were the last hole cards in the hands of previous emperors.

"It's not the time yet." Xi Chao considered that there were still many things to be calculated around him, and the Liu family mother and daughter were unrelenting, so it was not advisable to leave the house for too long so as not to be suspicious.

"Well, we'll talk about it when you're free." Mu Jin also knew that it might be inconvenient for Xi Dynasty during this time, so she mentioned it first so that she could be prepared.

The two chatted about some business matters in the shop, and when Mu Haoyu went down to the court, the three of them had dinner together, and Xi Chao left the palace after staying for a while, she had just been named the lord of Zunyi, and it was not good to stay in the palace for a long time to attract people's attention.

After a few more days, the sky was overcast, and there was a sign of rain, and the Xi Dynasty never stepped out of the mansion except for practicing and reading, and the rumors outside became quieter and quieter, and after a while, it would be possible to return to normal.

"Madam, do you really want to please?" Yahuan asks the beautiful woman who is carelessly pruning the camellia.

"Don't you also post it, what do you want to say?" The woman asked.

"The slave maid thinks that that one is a temporary favor, and it is just her father's face, and there is no need for the lady to deliberately win over." Yahuan replied.

"You're a shrewd man. It's not that I want to please, that's what the lord meant. The woman put down the scissors in her hand.

"It's the slave who talks a lot." Yahuan respectfully bowed her head and admitted her mistake.

"Let's go down and prepare." The woman said nothing more and went back to the house.

Aunt Liu in Shui Yueju held the invitation sent by the ladies with heads and faces in various provinces, her brows had never stretched, and her complexion was even more difficult to see.

"Mother, when are you going to let that slut go?" Ouyang Yun snatched the five or six invitations from Aunt Liu's hand, shook her hands and said with a hideous face: "Look, this is all to invite that slut to the banquet, and only mention us at the end. ”

"Miss can't help it, it's not good if it is broken." Wang Ma stepped forward to persuade, staring at the invitation in Ouyang Yun's hand, for fear that she would ruin the invitation if she was angry, and it would be troublesome.

"Mother!" Ouyang Yun was extremely angry, no one had ever dared to bully her, that slut couldn't stay, and the dark side of her heart was revealed.

"Alright." Aunt Liu is also holding back the fire and has nowhere to go, how can she say that she is also the only hostess of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now she has been slapped in the face by that cheap girl, this tone must not be just counted.

"She's beautiful now, I'm going to see how long she can be." Aunt Liu took a gilded post and said, "I'll go tomorrow." ”

"And the slut is going too?" Ouyang Yun asked.

"She won't go." Aunt Liu knows in her heart that the cheap girl is very high, and she will never go to this kind of party.

"What if I go, it's like the last time I went to Duanwangfu." Ouyang Yun was quite unconvinced.

"I believe mother, the cheap girl won't go." Aunt Liu was relieved: "Our mother and daughter are gone, if someone asks, it's not up to us to say what you want, those female dependents with status will definitely look down on cheap girls, and what about the title of a county lord." ”

"But ......" Ouyang Yun pursed her lips dissatisfiedly and swallowed the words that came to her mouth.

"Listen to my mother, you can't talk nonsense like last time." Aunt Liu told her that the last incident made her lose face in front of so many officials and wives, and this time she can't let her daughter mess around.

"Got it." Ouyang Yun reluctantly agreed.
