"Back to the Queen Mother, the women did not win chess, they did not win the chess, they did not receive any merit, and they could not accept the reward of the Queen Mother." Hua Xiyan returned to Empress Dowager Hu.

Seeing the three daughters around him, they have different expressions.

Empress Dowager Hu swept over the three young ladies from Hua Xiyan's face, and hummed heavily: "Yan Shangshu, the mourning family said this, and only if you win will you have a reward." However, a draw is not a loss. So, the four of you, you all have a reward. ”

The queen mother probably thought that if she didn't appreciate things, she would feel uncomfortable.

That being the case, Hua Xiyan accepted it: "The people's woman thanked the Empress Dowager for her reward." ”

"What do you want?"

"I heard that there is a Tianshan Snow Lotus in the palace, I wonder if the Queen Mother can reward a woman?"

I don't want all the gold and silver treasures, but I want medicinal herbs? Of course, the Tianshan Snow Lotus is expensive, and it is not inferior to gold and silver treasures, but if you really want gold and silver treasures, it is better to do it directly.

Empress Dowager Hu's eyes clamped slightly: "Is there someone in Yan Shangshu's family who wants to use the Tianshan Snow Lotus?" ”

"Yes, Queen Mother."

"Where is your home?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, if the Queen Mother is asking where the family of the people needs Tianshan Snow Lotus is, it is in the palace, I am a sister."

A good pair of sharp teeth, gently pushed the problem away. Empress Dowager Hu wrung her eyebrows for a while, and didn't ask again, I'm afraid that if she asks again, she won't get results, so she said to Aunt Sun beside her: "Take a Tianshan Snow Lotus, and the mourning family will reward Yan Shangshu." ”

"The slave obeys." Aunt Sun blessed her body.

"What about the few of you, what do you want to reward you?" Empress Dowager Hu swept towards the other three young ladies.

The ladies looked at each other. Lin Murong naturally doesn't like to fight for the front, which will damage her demeanor that has always seemed to be indisputable. Sun Ruyu was just about to speak, but unexpectedly, today's Ji Yao County Lord suddenly grabbed with her, and said first: "Queen Mother, Ji Yao also wants to support the Tianshan Snow Lotus." ”

"Oh." Empress Dowager Hu raised her eyebrows, "Isn't there one in the princess's mansion?" ”

"Queen Mother, there is one in the princess's house, but my mother is strict, and I can't use it for fun if I want to." Li Jiyao said.

"What's wrong with you? What do you do with a pill? Empress Dowager Hu shook her head and sighed.

"The Queen Mother doesn't know. Ji Yao dared to be interested in this flower. I heard that the Tianshan Snow Lotus is a flower, and it looks very good. ”

Empress Dowager Hu didn't have a way to take this county lord who was still like a child, and said with a smile: "Okay, the mourning family will reward you, but you put it yourself, don't be shown by your mother." Otherwise, your mother will turn around and say that the mourning family connived at you. Also, remember, don't wear herbs on your head as flowers. ”

Li Jiyao stuck out her little tongue: "How does the Queen Mother know what Ji Yao thinks." ”

Empress Dowager Hu smiled, and her heart seemed to be much better all of a sudden.

Sun Ruyu scratched Li Jiyao's face.

"What does Ruyu want to mourn and reward?" Empress Dowager Hu will not take care of one or the other, especially the children she likes.

Sun Ruyu blessed the Empress Dowager Hu: "The Empress Dowager, the courtiers remember that there is a pen holder on the mother's case, and the courtiers want that." ”

Empress Dowager Hu squinted her eyes as if she was thinking about the things in her room: "Are you talking about the little gift that the Holy Lord brought back to the mourning family when he traveled last time?" ”

"The courtiers didn't know that the saint sent it to the queen mother. The courtiers just looked at it and thought it looked good, and it was not made of rare stones and woods, so it shouldn't be expensive. Sun Ruyu lowered her head and bit her little lip, as if embarrassed.

"It's not expensive. The saint said that when the micro-service went out to patrol and passed by a certain place, he saw anything made by a craftsman on the side of the road at will, so he bought it and gave it to the mourning family. You all know that the Holy One is a very thrifty person, and the mourning family and the Holy One are of one heart and one mind. Empress Dowager Hu looked at Sun Ruyu and smiled lightly, "Ruyu, you have this heart, and the mourning family wants to send the saint to the mourning family to you as encouragement." ”

Sun Ruyu seemed to be sincerely frightened, and knelt down in gratitude and thanked Dade for the reward.

In the end, Lin Murong asked for a handwritten handwriting by Empress Dowager Hu, saying that she wanted to hang it in her room to encourage herself to cultivate virtue and study.

Aunt Sun didn't know, so she prepared all the rewards and sent them over. Empress Dowager Hu rewarded everyone one by one. Seeing that the time was about the same, except for Sun Ruyu who stayed to accompany the Queen Mother, the rest of them all went home.

Walking out of the queen mother's bedroom, their respective palace sedan cars and carriages were waiting in front of the door. Lin Murong blessed the county lord of Ji Yao, got into the carriage from the Lin Mansion, and left.

"What about you?" Li Jiyao turned around and asked Xiang Hua Xiyan, "Doesn't Yan Shangshu have a sedan chair to pick him up?" ”

"Back to the county lord, as a people's woman, it is not enough to sit in a sedan chair." Hua Xiyan said.

Unbeknownst to him, the innocent and naughty county lord, he grabbed her hand and said, "This place is still far away from my imperial brother's Yongning Palace." The lord of this county will give you a ride. ”

Hua Xiyan didn't have time to refuse, and was pulled into a sedan chair by the county lord. When she arrived at the sedan chair, Li Jiyao picked up her box of Tianshan Snow Lotus and stuffed it into her arms: "Here you go." ”

"County Lord?" Hua Xiyan was taken aback.

"You just heard the Queen Mother say that there are a bunch of such things in my house, which are useless to me. It's just that if I go back to get it, I'm afraid that it will delay your family's illness, so I'll ask the Queen Mother for a piece. Li Jiyao, who said this, winked at her mischievously, "Yan Shangshu won't blame the county lord for being nosy." ”

"No, the women of the people are grateful for the reward of the county lord." Hua Xiyan faced this child-like county lord, because she was like her own son, she didn't feel repulsed.

But she still underestimated the county lord. Li Jiyao suddenly stretched out a finger and touched the scar on the left side of her face.

Hua Xiyan subconsciously dodged and asked, "County Lord?" ”

"How do you get such a horrible scar? I think it's scary to look at. Li Jiyao shrank her neck in fear.

"I was accidentally burned by fire when I was a child." Hua Xiyan's voice was cautious.

"You must not feel good with this scar." Li Jiyao said, "But not only are you not trapped in this scar, but you are so good at chess, and you have played bad chess with me like me." I don't know if you care about the face of the county lord, but it doesn't look like you're trying to slap me. I can only think that you are good-hearted, with me. ”

Hua Xiyan listened quietly and looked at this girl who was as precious as the county lord. As the county lord, because of his high status, he could do whatever he wanted, but now Li Jiyao's face showed a trace of boredom and sorrow, which seemed unimaginable to ordinary people.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and it is no exception for this county lord who has no worries about food and clothing.

"I study and do things, unlike my mother, unlike my father, I don't do well. I know that they praise me on the surface, laugh at me behind the scenes, and fear my identity. Therefore, there are very few people like you who are willing to listen to me and talk to me. I only remember that the only one who is willing to play chess with me, who plays bad chess, and who patiently finishes a game of chess with me, is my deceased sister-in-law, and you are the only one left. Li Jiyao felt bitter in her stomach as if she was spitting out.

Should I say that this county lord is innocent, or that he can't hold it anymore, so he spit out bitterness when he catches someone.

He used to work hard step by step to achieve success, Hua Xiyan said: "County Lord, God is fair to everyone, no one is perfect." In the eyes of the people's women, such as the county lord, it is already the luck of the people, who has a good heart, sympathizes with the poor, and can do things for the people. ”

Li Jiyao's flickering eyes looked at her as if she was surprised, and then the two little pear vortex smiled shyly: "In the future, I will often come to you." It feels like you're very similar to my sister-in-law. In the past, only the imperial sister-in-law was the most patient with me, better than my father and mother. Unfortunately, she died early. Moreover, if I pestered my imperial sister-in-law for a long time, my imperial brother would be unhappy. By the way, my imperial brother kept you with him because you are like my imperial sister-in-law. ”

Hua Xiyan was quietly taken aback when she heard this: she was like the palace queen who died?

Impossible. Not to mention her ugly face, besides, the queen of the palace is virtuous and virtuous, and her temper does not seem to be ladylike.

The sedan chair stopped suddenly. Aunt Liu, who accompanied the sedan chair walking, nervously said to the two people in the sedan chair: "County Lord, Miss Yan, there is someone in front." ”

"Who? Who dares to stand in the way of the lord of this county? The Queen Mother didn't dare. ”

"Back to the county lord, it's the saint." Aunt Liu was so nervous that her throat and eyes were on fire.

Li Jiyao, who was still saying that the sky was not afraid of the earth just now, almost slipped off the couch: "Brother Huang?!" ”

Seeing that the county lord was actually afraid of Long Yan, he panicked and straightened his skirt and walked out of the sedan chair. Hua Xiyan followed and walked out of the sedan chair.

The summer rays, the gilded dark lines on the dragon robe, are majestic and dazzling. A group of palace people knelt in the corridor. This road is just connected to Yongning Hall and Yongshou Palace.

"Ji Yao greets the saint." Li Jiyao walked in front of Long Yan and blessed himself.

Li Zimo glanced at her faintly, her little head was as low as if she had been drilled into a hole, and she didn't make a sound, and looked at Hua Xiyan behind her with silent and deep eyes.

Hua Xiyan held two boxes of Tianshan Snow Lotus in her arms, and followed behind the county lord and saluted: "The women of the people visit the saint." ”

"Where did you go?" Long Yan took his hand and asked very lightly, but he didn't see anything.

But Aunt Liu was already a spirit, and knelt on the ground: "Back to the saint, it was the slave maid who did not do her job well, so that Miss Yan was invited by Aunt Sun to go to Yongshou Palace to play chess for the Queen Mother." ”

"Finished playing?" The ink eyes fell on the thing that Hua Xiyan was holding in his arms.

Aunt Liu didn't dare to lie at all, and replied: "Miss Yan played a game of chess with Miss Sun Er, the daughter of the Lin Mansion, and the county lord at the Queen Mother's place, all of which were draws, and the Queen Mother rewarded four people. ”

"What's the reward?"

"Tianshan Snow Lotus."

A sneer crossed Long Yan's face: "The Queen Mother chosen?" Or did she choose? ”

Perhaps surprised that his question was too detailed and difficult, Li Jiyao raised his head and said in surprise: "Imperial brother? ”

"Did I excuse you?"

Li Jiyao quickly lowered her little brain, but she didn't forget to quietly stick out her tongue after lowering her head.

Li Zimo saw her small action, his eyes seemed to flash with a hint of helplessness, and he said to Yifeng behind him: "Send the county lord back to the princess's mansion and prohibit the county lord from entering the palace for three days." ”

"Huh?" Li Jiyao didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one this time, raised his head, and asked, "Why is the imperial brother forbidding me to enter the palace?" What am I doing wrong? ”

The majestic ink eyes swept over her vibrant face: "You haven't done anything wrong, but you need to reflect." ”

"Isn't this wronged!" stomped his feet, but he was the emperor.

Yifeng walked up to her: "County Lord, please get on the sedan chair." ”

Naughty eyes glared at the imperial brother, Li Jiyao walked back to the sedan chair, and when she brushed Hua Xiyan's side, she stopped, blatantly approached the other party's ear and said, "The imperial brother won't let me enter the palace to find you, you come out of the palace to find me." ”

Of course, Hua Xiyan didn't dare to answer in front of Long Yan.

Yifeng had no choice but to urge her: "County Lord, the Holy Lord will be tempered later." ”

Li Jiyao moved back to the sedan chair step by step, and before getting on the sedan chair, she didn't forget to wave her hand to Hua Xiyan.

Hua Xiyan really didn't know what to say about this naïve county lord who was unscrupulous. The sedan chair was carried outside the palace. Hua Xiyan hugged the two Tianshan Snow Lotus in her arms, and was cautious that the emperor wanted to snatch them away if she didn't like it.

Sure enough, the ink eyes fell on her Tianshan Snow Lotus: "Want to sell it for money?" ”

"Holy One—"

"You can't sell my words, so you can sell this thing after asking the Queen Mother? Why don't you ask for a bracelet or gold? ”

Hua Xiyan sighed in her heart: "Holy Lord, since the folk women have begged for medicinal materials, they must be used to treat diseases." ”

These words made his eyes stunned for a moment, and then his eyes fell on her shoulder, and asked Li Shunde: "Has Lord Gonggong entered the palace today?" ”

"Holy Lord, no, Lord Gong should work in the Criminal Department." Li Shunde replied.

"Let the palace master finish his work and go to the Yongning Hall to check her pulse."

Hua Xiyan wanted to ask Gong Xiangru a few things, so she didn't speak.

He retracted his gaze and sighed, "Let's go, go for a walk in the garden with me." ”

Hua Xiyan handed over the two boxes of Tianshan Snow Lotus to Aunt Liu to hold first, and took two steps to keep up with the person in front.

"Just now, I went to the prince's school and met your son."

Referring to the children of the two people, Hua Xiyan knew what he suspected, and his heart skipped a beat: "Letting the son of a folk woman accompany His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to study, will it cause trouble to His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Trouble for his son? Yun Mei couldn't help but fly, thinking of the sunshine on his son's face, which he had never seen before as a father.

"Your son is very good, he is a piece of reading material."

Hua Xiyan thought she was deaf: her son is the material for studying? She has been teaching for a few years, but her son can only recite one sentence like a pig.

The corner of her eyes swept to her stunned, and a low string of laughter flew out of the dragon's face.

Li Shunde and the others who followed him, seeing this, immediately slowed down their pace wisely.

Gradually, the brigade fell from behind, leaving only the two of them and entering the Imperial Garden.

In the garden, flowers are in full bloom. It is planted with begonias, all colors, a few flowers together, purple and red. The meticulous care of the florist makes the scenery more like a fairyland.

Hearing only a sound of water from far and near, she followed him up the steps, the pavilion in this palace seemed to be a mold, the ground was paved with jade, and the top was covered with glazed tiles.

He looked at the nearby scenery and asked, "Does Yan Shangshu know how to play the piano?" It should be, since it is the daughter of the flower family of Bai Changguo. ”

As an aristocratic lady, playing the piano is a compulsory subject. It's a pity that Hua Xiyan, who is not a professional student of Guzheng, how could it be.

The sweat on his forehead was puffed, and he said: "The folk women are not good at the piano, and they are afraid of making jokes in front of the saints." ”

Perhaps seeing a drop of sweat on her forehead, the corners of his eyes narrowed slightly, turned around and sat down in the gazebo, and said, "Feel free to give me one." Anyway, I'm also a person who is not a scholar. ”

This dog emperor, if he doesn't toss her for a moment, he must feel uncomfortable. Hua Xiyan thought about the imperial book he gave him, didn't he just let her do this job to tease him. Anyway, he used her, and she used him.

Li Shunde received the order and immediately went to fetch the piano.

Long Yan said lightly: "You played a game of chess, and the Queen Mother rewarded you." In this way, as long as you finish playing a song, I will reward you, so as not to say that I am not close to anyone. ”

Reward her again? And she is not allowed to sell?

Hua Xiyan thought of this, and saw that Li Shunde asked people to move the piano stool in the pavilion, and she was not interested.

When she sat down on the stool, and she didn't know what to play, the person sitting opposite her said lightly: "I will reward you then, and you can make a request to me, as long as I can agree." ”

Although Zhilu said that he would not let her go when he caught her back, it was still good to have a request that the emperor could agree to. Hua Xiyan stroked her fingers on the strings, with a hint of seriousness.

What to play? All this ancient body seemed to leave her was the memory of her fingertips' knowledge of the strings. With her ignorance of ancient music, she can only play the easiest to remember little star.

Fingertips moved on the strings, finding the strings of the same scale as the little star score, and plucking note by note.

Li Shunde waited under the gazebo, only listening to the sound of music, which was not like music, but like the sound of a child touching the piano when she first started to learn the piano, thinking that she was tuning. So he raised his toes and poked his head out, trying to remind her that the piano was tuned. As a result, she looked at the past, where she was tuning, she was concentrating on playing the piano.

Not unexpectedly, Long Yan, who had been preparing to appreciate Merlot for a long time, was shocked, and held the pillar with his hand, so as not to fall from behind.

Did she deliberately fix him? deliberately played three draws like he did with the Queen Mother.

Thinking that when he just heard Aunt Liu say that she had played a draw with all three of them, he was shocked in his heart. Because of this, the name of Lin Murong's talented woman, he has heard of it for a long time and has also experienced it. And Li Jiyao's bad chess hand is even more famous. It can be said that it is not easy to win against Lin Murong, but it is even more difficult to draw with Li Jiyao, who plays bad chess.

Presumably, the Queen Mother should have been shocked more than him.

Her talent, like a bright pearl, cannot be submerged in the deep sea.

When he heard that she was suddenly invited to Yongshou Palace by the Queen Mother, he left in a hurry, and actually walked on the way to Yongshou Palace. punished Li Jiyao, and he himself knew that he was angry.

He couldn't see that she had been wronged by the Queen Mother, but in fact, she had not been wronged at all by the Queen Mother. This really made him feel a little anxious in his heart. He really couldn't seem to hold her.

Individual syllables, accompanied by her unhurried fingertips, jumped out one by one, and when she listened alone, she would definitely not be able to hear the reason. As she seemed to gradually become familiar with the strings, the syllables could be gradually strung together to form a song.

Li Shunde wiped the sweat from his forehead, and as he listened, he was even more surprised.

What kind of tune is this? Never heard of it!

The bizarre and alternative tunes are neither like flowing water, nor like ambushes on all sides, with a shocking majestic momentum, like fleas jumping around in the grass. But strangely, it may reflect the sunny time of this summer, but this song is just right, so that people can feel the joyful rhythm of this song in their hearts, and their hearts seem to be blown by a gust of wind, and they suddenly brighten up.

Li Shunde squinted his eyes, presumably listening to the saint had the same heart.

Hua Xiyan was sweating, as if she had never worked so hard. After playing the last note, she stopped her fingers and looked up. The man sitting in front of her sat like a piece of wood, as if he was sweating more than her.

Shocked in his heart, he stood up: "The folk woman has long said that she is not good at the piano, which disturbs the saint." ”

Hearing her words, he seemed to come back to his senses and said a sentence: "Li Shunde." ”

Li Shunde hurriedly ran up from under the pavilion and asked in a panic, "The slave is here." ”

"Give me a cup of tea, I want to suppress the shock." The dragon robe brushed the sweat from his forehead.

If she was trying to fix him, he would have given in. As soon as he watched her play the piano, he felt his heart pounding, the strings cut the flesh of her fingertips, as if he could cut off a piece at any time.

Li Shunde immediately came up with a cup of ginseng tea. He took the teacup, realized that she was still standing, and said, "You sit." ”

Anyway, it didn't look like he wanted to punish her, and she sat down.

After taking a sip, Yun frowned, as if recalling the song she had just played: "Yan Shangshu, what are you playing?" I've never heard of it. ”

"Back to the saint, it is a folk song hummed by a folk woman to her son, and the folk woman has little knowledge of music, so she can only hum this simple tune, called Little Star."

Indeed, he had never heard of it.

"Little star? What are the names of your own songs? A narrow line appeared in his black eyes and looked at her.

I can't name a modern composer. Hua Xiyan had no choice but to impersonate: "Yes." The name of the song that the folk women randomly messed up. ”

"Yan Shangshu really only learned eight buckets, and he can make the tunes by himself."

The dog emperor teased her. Hua Xiyan warned herself that she should not be calm.

brushed his robe and asked Li Shunde to remove the piano platform, so as not to see her cut her hand, and said, "Okay." I promise you, what do you want me to do for you? ”

Hua Xiyan had already thought about this, and weighed it: "The woman wants to go to the court to see her maid." ”

The ink eyes flashed slightly, as if he had an understanding of the ins and outs, and his gaze at her became more and more profound: "You are a good master." ”

"If the master doesn't do well, how can he make the people below be loyal?" Hua Xiyan replied.

For her words, he seemed to have emotion: "In this way, it is my master who has not done well enough. ”

"Holy?"

"Yan Shangshu, in the future, whoever wants to tell you to go, don't go with others on your own initiative." Got up and walked in front of her, looked down at a sweat on her nose, and a deep and sharp voice brushed her ears, "Since I am your master, your life is mine, for me to remember!" ”

Hua Xiyan could feel a knock somewhere in her heart, as if a stone had fallen, causing waves.

The dragon shadow that pressed her like a mountain above her brushed past her: "Li Shunde, send Yan Shangshu back." Also, send the maid from the court to the Yongning Hall and find a place for her to live. ”

Eyebrows are slightly twisted. This dog emperor, pour cold water on her for a while, and give her candy for a while. It's hard to imagine who can accompany this person. I don't know what the queen of that palace looks like. Thinking that Li Jiyao said that she was like a palace queen, I really didn't know how to describe it in my heart. However, the innocent county lord is very likable. Gai Ming'er may be able to go out of the palace and meet this county lord again to learn about something. Didn't she say that she suspected that her son had the blood of the Tanglin royal family?

Raised his eyebrows.

Yongshou Palace.

A maid walked a few steps closely, walked up to Aunt Sun's ear and said something. Aunt Sun nodded and walked back to the gazebo.

Sun Ruyu knelt at the feet of the Empress Dowager Hu and served, peeling a pomegranate for the Empress Dowager Hu.

Aunt Sun was blessed: "Queen Mother, it is said that the saint picked up Yan Shangshu on the road." ”

Sun Ruyu glanced at Aunt Sun: "Really?" The saint made a special trip to pick up Yan Shangshu instead of passing by? ”

"Is the saint passing by, but the slave and maid don't know the way." Aunt Sun said cautiously.

"Is it better to know that the Dao mourning family called her here and want to take her back, or is it better to know the Tao at all." Empress Dowager Hu said between the two of them, "No matter what, this Yan Shangshu is indeed talented and has the ability to learn eight buckets." Mourning the family knows the Tao of the saint and loves the talent. Maybe after a while, the saint will get tired of it. ”

"Yes." Sun Ruyu immediately picked up, "Queen Mother, in addition to playing chess, this Yan Shangshu is good at chess, Ruyu thinks that if a woman doesn't even look good, how can she please a man?" ”

"The mourning family has heard that the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, but I have never heard that the hero is sad to pass the ugly girl pass." Empress Dowager Hu patted the chair and took the pomegranate handed over by Sun Ruyu, with a smile on the corner of her lips.

Sun Ruyu immediately slapped her ass again: "The Queen Mother is extremely so." If this girl's family is ugly, the beggars will dislike it. A beautiful man like Shengshang, if he is not matched by a beautiful woman in the world, how can he be justified? The saint himself also wants to save face. ”

Empress Dowager Hu raised her eyebrows: "You say, which beauty in the world?" ”

"The Queen Mother." Sun Ruyu turned around and faced Empress Dowager Hu, "Don't you like Su Qing Niangniang?" ”

"Su Qing Niangniang is a beautiful person, and she is a good person, and she is pleasing wherever she goes." Aunt Sun also interjected.

Empress Dowager Hu listened to the two of them holding Jin Suqing vigorously, and suddenly her voice sank: "Nonsense." What's the use of the mourning family liking it, you have to be holy to your own liking. ”

Sun Ruyu and Aunt Sun listened to Empress Dowager Hu's temperamental words, and lowered their heads, but there was no sadness between their eyebrows. Who doesn't know the way, the master always likes to say something that is inconsistent.

Empress Dowager Hu gently peeled a pomegranate with her fingertips and put it in her mouth, and asked Aunt Sun, "Did you send the letter to the eldest princess?" ”

"Send it over, Queen Mother. The eldest princess read the letter and didn't say anything bad. Aunt Sun replied.

"When the time comes, the lantern will be held in the Eldest Princess's Mansion. Originally, the mourning family wanted to introduce everyone to Sect Master Yun. It's a pity that the Holy Lord sent someone to say that day, and the Yun Sect Master suddenly returned to the Yun Clan. But this lantern festival can't be left unattended, and many people are looking forward to it. Empress Dowager Hu said.

"Yes." The other two spoke in unison.

"Ruyu, who do you want to call?" Empress Dowager Hu squinted her eyebrows and looked at the girl she liked.

Sun Ruyu suddenly turned abrupt: "Queen Mother, what do you want Ruyu to say about this?" ”

"Shy of what. Do you need to be shy in front of your mourning family? ”

When Empress Dowager Hu said this, Sun Ruyu took a breath, turned her face, and whispered: "I wonder if Lord Gong will come to the Lantern Festival?" ”

"You said Miya-sama?"

Hearing the queen mother's rhetorical question, Sun Ruyu chuckled in her heart, not knowing whether it was good or bad, and lowered her head.

"Yes." Empress Dowager Hu laughed softly, "Before the mourning family, I mentioned to the Holy Lord that if Sect Master Yun didn't come, he would let the palace master come to cheer him on." Lord Gong is the most likable man in this capital, except for the Holy Lord and the Cloud Sect Master. ”

Sun Ruyu heard Empress Dowager Hu praise the palace like this, and her face turned crimson.

"But, Ruyu, do you like the matter of Lord Gong, have you mentioned it to your father?" Empress Dowager Hu squinted.

"Queen Mother, such a shameful thing, Ruyu is the first time to mention it to others." Sun Ruyu was completely ashamed.

"Silly boy." Empress Dowager Hu laughed twice, "So, the mourning family is your celebrity." ”

Sun Ruyu covered her red face with a handkerchief and whispered: "There are many courtiers who like the palace lord, and I heard that Lin Qianjin is too. ”

"Okay." Empress Dowager Hu patted the handrail, "It's up to you to decide this matter." ”

Sun Ruyu was startled, and immediately knelt down in surprise: "Thank you, Empress Dowager!" ”

Empress Dowager Hu smiled and saw her kowtow three times, and then sent her back.

Aunt Sun sent Sun Ruyu to the door and came back, seeing that Empress Dowager Hu was panting with her heart, she hurriedly stepped forward to help stroke her back: "Queen Mother, what do you think?" I'm going to get someone to bring the medicine. ”

"Gong family, Gong family!" Empress Dowager Hu read sentences one after another.

Aunt Sun didn't dare to look at her face.

Sure enough, pop, Empress Dowager Hu slammed a slap on Aunt Sun's face. After Aunt Sun was swept to the ground, she knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise her head, and said repeatedly: "The slave really doesn't know about Ruyu's liking for the palace lord. ”

Seeing that she was crying, Empress Dowager Hu gasped back and said, "Let people check." ”

"Lord Chagong?"

Empress Dowager Hu glared: "Check Yan Shangshu." ”

Aunt Sun's heart was circling, she couldn't turn a corner, didn't the Queen Mother just look at the people who came and felt that she was not a threat.

"Only learn eight buckets." Empress Dowager Hu read these words slowly, "Back then, the palace maid seduced the saint, and it was only then that she learned Badou!" ”

Aunt Sun's heart was like a hurricane blowing by her words, and she was crumbling.

Empress Dowager Hu squinted: "Who is she sacred?" How did you get into the palace? ”

Aunt Sun crawled over and whispered, "It's better for the slave to grab a little eunuch and ask." ”

"If you catch it, I'm afraid that you will startle the snake in front of the saint. That's it, let's talk about it when Su Qing Niangniang arrives, anyway, it's just a matter of these two days. ”

"Queen Mother, did you say that Su Qing Niangniang is coming?"

"She is in Baichang, which is close to Tanglin. This Lantern Festival, the mourning family wrote to her and called her. It just so happened that she heard that she was not feeling well in Baichang, so she could also adjust it when she came here. ”

Aunt Sun wrung her brows: "If Su Qing Niangniang comes over to live-"

"If she lives in the palace, the Holy One will not agree. However, there is a way to mourn the family. After Empress Dowager Hu finished speaking, she gave her her hand, "Help the mourning family into the house, the mourning family is also lacking." ”

Aunt Sun hurriedly took her hand, only to hear her get up and sigh for a long time: When will the saint be able to reassure the mourning family.

When Hua Xiyan saw Lucui, it happened that Gong Xiangru was ordered by the emperor to diagnose her pulse. In this regard, Hua Xiyan asked Gong Xiangru for a green prescription.

"Lord Gong, the woman wants to grab a few flavors of medicine for her maid, can you take a look at this prescription?"

Gong Xiangru took the white paper she handed over, and the calligraphy on the top was written in small letters, upright and beautiful, several flavors of medicine, raw land, lily, codonopsis, atractylodes, Huaishan, as if it was composed of two prescriptions, so he said with a smile: "Is the patient yin deficiency and fire and spleen and stomach weakness?" ”

"Yes, she has a bad appetite, I see that her mouth is dry, her tongue is red, her pulse is short, and she is empty." Hua Xiyan actually wanted to ask a doctor to show Lu Cui, but after buying the wound medicine in the city last time, she felt that this ancient doctor was not as good as her. She had no choice but to ask with the prescription she had prescribed.

"Yan Shangshu's recipe, I don't have a problem with it." Gong Xiangru held the prescription in his hand, and his eyes flashed, "I heard that you were summoned by the Queen Mother just now." ”

The news spread so fast. Hua Xiyan nodded: "After playing a few games of chess at the Queen Mother, the women came back." ”

Seeing that she was relaxed, Gong Xiangru was slightly surprised, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise: "Yan Shangshu is going to Yongshou Palace here, how do you feel?" ”

Hua Xiyan didn't expect him to ask so directly, and was a little surprised.

Looking away from her face and looking at the tree over there, the handsome side face became more unfathomable: "The Queen Mother is a compassionate person. ”

"The Queen Mother is the master of Yongshou Palace and the mother of the Holy One, so she is naturally virtuous and has a long way to go."

In a word, he turned his face sideways, looked at her eyes and watered, and couldn't help but smile again: "Yan Shangshu, don't go to that place in the future." ”

Hua Xiyan thought about saying this to her one or two, I don't know if they care about her, or if they are even more afraid that she will fall into the hands of the Queen Mother and hold their handle, anyway, she nodded her head first and thanked her.

Gong Xiangru was led by Li Shunde and came to the small courtyard. Li Zimo stood under a willow tree, looking at a line of geese crossing the sky.

"Holy. said that the saint was looking for Weichen. ”

"Did you take her pulse?"

"The injury is almost healed, and the qi and blood should be adjusted in the later stage, and there should be no major problem."

After hearing his words, Li Zimo didn't look back at him for a long time, and after a long time, he said: "I always thought that the feeling of liking someone would not change. It doesn't matter what the other person becomes. The first emperor once taught me, saying that pets can only give people an excuse, and if you like someone, you must hide it in your heart. The Queen Mother said that the emperor's heart is impermanent, and the three palaces and six courtyards are very common. ”

"Listen to the ministers." Gong Xiangru said.

"In the end, whether people's hearts will change or not is forced out by people outside."

The palace is like a slight rin all over the body.

Stretched out his hand and folded a willow leaf to play with in his hand, the corners of his cool lips hooked, as if he was smiling: "I just asked her to play the piano, I wanted to listen to cinnabar again, but she played a folk song for me, so I was afraid that she would be cut off by the strings." In hindsight, I suddenly felt ridiculous. ”

Gong Xiangru raised his head, received a cold gaze from him, and lowered his head again.

"Gong Qing, do you remember? The place where she is buried is the mausoleum designed and built by me myself. I personally looked at her and covered the coffin with a last glance. There is a place where I have been guarded day and night. Not a single mosquito wants to fly in. That's why I'm delusional, delusional and delusional, and I don't even believe in myself. It's horrible! ”

Gong Xiangru's eyebrows tightened, and a faint sorrow appeared in his eyes. Because he was right. How can the dead return to them?

"No matter who she is or what purpose she comes to me, there are so many doubts on her body, I have to guard against it for the sake of the prince. I have to expose her true colors! ”

Syllable! The willow branch between the fingers was broken in two.

The turbulence in the ink eyes blew in an instant, and he returned to calm: "King Bai Changguo said that he was coming to see me, and I agreed." You prepare the gift for King Xian, and when the time comes, I will give King Xian and Bai Changguo a big gift. ”

Kneeling down with a robe: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Bai Changguo.

Since the old lady of the Hua family left the customs, after a long journey, she finally returned to Huafu.

Liu and Hua Zhengke knelt down in front of her and kowtowed with a group of children.

Mrs. Hua took a sip of tea and said to them, "Get up." After seeing them get up one by one, they didn't seem to see the person they wanted to see, so they were surprised: "Changfu, didn't you say that the eldest lady came back?" ”

Changfu, who was waiting on the side, walked out and replied: "Hui Taijun, eldest lady, she-"

"What's going on? Is it that Xiyan refuses to come back in the countryside? If so, her father and her mother would have to go to the countryside to pick it up herself. ”

Hua Lao Taijun's natural tone made Liu clench his teeth.

Hua Zhengke smiled dryly: "Mother, Xiyan heard that you asked her to come back, why didn't you want to come back?" ”

"What about the man?"

"This-" Hua Zhengke let out a long breath, seeing that the old lady would definitely not be able to hide it, so he told the story of Hua Xiyan's mother and son missing in the royal back mountain.

After hearing this, Mrs. Hua's brows jumped, and she slapped the table suddenly, so frightened that the timid person knelt down again: "The royal back mountain is missing?" You, the father, won't you ask for someone from the royal family? Xiyan is still the crown princess! ”

Liu couldn't bear it anymore, pushed Hua Zhengke, and stepped forward: "Mother, it's not only Xiyan who is missing, but also Shu'er and Guiyuan. It's not like we haven't looked for it in the palace. However, it is true that there are none. It can only be said that they may have been taken away by someone. ”

"Abducted? Who would dare to kidnap the people of our Hua family? "Hua Lao Taijun has been practicing martial arts all year round, and his dantian is full of energy, his horizontal eyebrows are erected, and he is majestic. The entire Hua family is supported by the fame of the old lady Hua. It's not surprising to say that the royal courtesy gave the old lady three points.

Liu knelt down, wiped his eyes with his sleeve, cried and said, "Mother, Xiyan is not my own, you can say me." But Shu'er is my own child, can I lie to you when she disappears? ”

Hearing that her words were true, Mrs. Hua asked in a deep voice: "So, how did you investigate this matter?" ”

"I asked Su Qing Niangniang in the palace for divination, and I came to the conclusion that Shu'er and them may have been taken captive to Tanglin."

"Tanglin?" Hua Lao Taijun seemed to be taken aback, "How can it be Donglin?" ”

The Liu family frowned, because Tanglin was the largest country, they didn't dare to go to Tanglin to ask for someone. Moreover, except for the words of the soothsayer, there is no evidence.

"The emperor of the Tanglin Kingdom ruled the country well, and he had never heard of robbers. Besides, who can run to the back mountains of the royal family to kidnap people? The more she thought about it, the more strange she felt, it was unbelievable.

At the bottom, among the kneeling men, the two wise men bowed their heads into the holes in the ground. I'm afraid that grandma's eyes will come and expose their bottom.

I only heard Mrs. Hua ask: "At that time, who else was in the back mountain of our family?" ”

Hua Yueyu was startled, and raised her head suddenly, and it was too late to lower her head any longer.

"Yueyu, you come out and tell grandma."

Hua Yiyu gave him a desperate look. Hua Yueyu was frightened and walked up to her grandmother: "Grandma, I don't know anything." ”

"I didn't ask, you just said you don't know anything?"

The old man slapped the table again. Hua Yueyu's buttocks fell to the ground, holding her head with both hands: "Grandma, don't hit me." I really don't know who those people are, you should ask the third sister. ”

Hua Yiyu wanted to roll her eyes and die.

"Yi Yu!" The shocked god of the Liu clan was no less than the others.

"Mother. I can't help it, if I do, everyone will have to die. Hua Yiyu shouted, "Those people are good at martial arts, and they are richly dressed, no matter how you look at it, they are all rich and noble people." Yi Yu thought that they could freely enter and exit the mountain behind the royal family, and they didn't take our royal family in their eyes at all. ”

Liu covered his chest and blinked: In this way, her daughter was not taken away by the rogue but by the nobles. Is this a blessing or a misfortune?

Hua Lao Taijun said coldly: "If this is the case, the old woman has fought for this old life, and she must go to the Tanglin Emperor to understand." ”

The people below frowned one by one. Go to Tanglin to ask the Tanglin Emperor for someone? Unthinkable.

"Mother." Hua Zhengke calculated in his heart and knelt down, "King Xian is going to the Tanglin Kingdom to face the saint." Why don't we join King Xian's envoys first. ”

"Well, it's a trick. You hurry up and do it. Mrs. Hua agreed.

Hua Zhengke got up and walked out quickly.

After her son left, the old lady's eyes fell on her daughter-in-law's head again: "When I see Xiyan, I will ask for an understanding." ”

Liu was so angry that he bit out blood from the roots of his teeth.
