At this time, the sun was getting higher and higher, it was almost noon, it was the time for Fu Rui to drink milk with snacks, Xu Cancan estimated that the water cold was about to send Fu Rui back, so he smiled and opened his mouth to leave everyone for lunch.

These high-ranking officials, wives and noblewomen are also waiting for dozens of grandmothers and maids at home, and if they accompany Queen Xu to eat here, they can only wait for Queen Xu, and they can't eat a meal quietly, but in order to tie up Queen Xu, who has never liked to see people, they all smiled and got up and responded together.

Yuan's heart is now low-key, so he also acted in unison with everyone with a smile, lowered his eyebrows, and looked extraordinarily respectful.

Xiaoyu, the third-class palace maid, came in and reported that General Shui had sent the crown prince back.

When Xu Cancan heard this, he said happily: "Hurry up and announce it!" ”

Seeing that everyone was about to get up and avoid it, Xu Cancan hurriedly said: "No need to evade, General Shui just sent the crown prince to the corridor and didn't come in." ”

It didn't take long for Xiaoqing, the palace maid who opened the curtain, to open the curtain, and Zhu Yan and Xuan Bing walked in with the crown prince Fu Rui.

The crown prince probably played too crazy, although his hands and face were clean, but the white gauze robe on his body was dirty, and he looked like a mud monkey.

Xu Cancan did not dislike it, stretched out his arms and took the crown prince into his arms, rubbed his head and face, kissed him again, and then looked up and asked Shui Han, who was standing outside the thin bamboo curtain: "General Shui, what game did the crown prince play outside today?" ”

Although through the curtain, Shui Han still replied respectfully: "Queen Mother, first Your Majesty took the crown prince to play sand table in the study, and then His Majesty took the crown prince to see people, then Mr. Zhu read to the crown prince, and finally marked down to take the crown prince to run and play in the east side courtyard of the south gate for a while. ”

A smile appeared in Xu Cancan's big eyes, and he glanced at Yuan Shi casually, and asked deliberately, "Your Majesty is still in the study outside?" ”

Shui Han replied "yes" and said, "Your Majesty has no court meeting today, and is receiving the envoys of Dongyi and Liao, and will probably be in the study today." ”

Xu Cancan said: "Thank you for your hard work, go down and rest!" ”

Shui Han raised his head, stared at the shadowy shadow in the thin bamboo curtain in front of him, answered "yes" and retreated.

Xu Cancan and Fu Rui got tired of it, but they quietly observed Yuan's movements at the end of their eyes.

Yuan sat there with a faint smile, without the slightest intention of stepping forward to see the crown prince with Mrs. Ma and the others, and probably didn't remember that the crown prince Fu Rui was actually her grandson in terms of blood relationship.

At this moment, what Yuan Shi was thinking in his heart was: Queen Xu looked plump when she sat down, who knew that after getting up, she had a slender waist and was very slender, with high breasts, thin waists and long legs, which can be regarded as a rare beauty!

Of course, in terms of beauty and style, Xu is still not as good as herself.

Seeing that the Yuan clan didn't seem to see Fu Rui, he didn't care at all, Xu Cancan knew it in his heart.

Hongfu and Gray Hui hugged the second prince Fu Xi and the third princess Fu Quan and came up for Queen Xu to see.

Fu Rui was very wary of his younger brothers and sisters, for fear that they would rob his mother, so he protected Xu Cancan in front of him, and opened his arms to stop Xu Cancan.

Xu Cancan pulled him into his arms and comforted him for a few words, and the eldest princess of Yuming, who came out with Fu Xi and Fu Quan, also helped enlighten Fu Rui, and even those ladies and ladies were also on the side to persuade her.

Fu Rui didn't want to listen to the nagging, so he stopped stopping his mother from looking at his younger siblings, but his body was always snuggled in his mother's arms, so that his mother couldn't hold his younger siblings.

Xu Cancan knew that Fu Rui's personality was most like Fu Yuchen, and he had a strong desire for exclusivity, so he could only keep this matter in his heart and be ready to wait for an opportunity to slowly persuade him.

Yuan's family originally thought that Queen Xu's so-called stay was just to let them wait for her to eat, but who knew that she was comfortable and used a meal under the waiter of the palace maid.

There is a big lake in the big garden behind the diving house, and a three-story Lingxiao Flower Pavilion is built near the lake near the water, and the banquet is placed on the third floor of the Lingxiao Flower Pavilion, one person has a pear blossom wood table, on which there are delicate and light dishes, and the palace maid is waiting for the meal.

There is also a female official who takes the musician on the painting boat not far from the Lingxiao Flower Pavilion, and the breeze on the lake in the staggered scenery brings melodious silk bamboo sounds and gentle singing, which is refreshing.

Mrs. Martha listened and praised Queen Xu for her elegance.

Empress Xu smiled slightly and said, "This palace is just trying to make yourself comfortable!" ”

Mrs. Yan Enhou was on the side and stimulated the Yuan family by the way: "The queen mother can be so happy, it's not because you don't have a mother-in-law above, unlike the concubine who is uncomfortable!" ”

The smile on Yuan's face was a little frozen for a moment.

Mrs. Miryang Hou made up a knife faintly and said: "The queen mother is not without a mother-in-law, but without a serious mother-in-law!" She put the accent on the word "serious."

The smile on Yuan's face had frozen there.

She pretended to be drunk, rubbed her face with her hands, and soon began to smile sweetly.

Ma Mingguang, the second lady of Ma's husband, is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, so she glanced at the Yuan family, and naturally said about Queen Xu's use of private money to set up a reward silver for students across the country: "Niangniang, the concubine only knew that there was a reward silver for foreign students!" The concubine listened to the princess and said, not only the students of Daliang are grateful to you, but many people have offered you immortal tablets; Even those students from Dongyi, Liao, and Nanyue are grateful for your kindness and are impressed by my Liang's demeanor! ”

Xu Cancan listened to her exaggeration, so he didn't say much, so he just laughed. Her original intention was only to let those poor but motivated students be able to realize their ideals through their strength, but Fu Yuchen used this reward to not only help civilians enter the ruling class to divide the power of the high gate, but also promote the national prestige of Daliang and establish prestige for her.

Jin Weihuan is a cronie of Fu Yuchen's cronies, and his wife is naturally intimate with Xu Cancan, understanding that one is to flatter Queen Xu, and the other is to stimulate the Yuan family, so he immediately said: "Queen Mother, the concubine just wants to know how much private money you have invested, I heard that it is enough to have a million taels!" ”

Xu Cancan couldn't help laughing: "Where are there so many, I invested two million taels of principal for the first time, and an additional one million taels every year in the future." ”

Everyone present took an exaggerated deep breath, among which Mrs. Yan Enhou was the most exaggerated: "Queen Mother, how much property do you have, and you can invest so much silver in a year?" ”

Xu Cancan took a sip of fruit tea and said with a smile: "It's just a gift from the Emperor and His Majesty." ”

The Yuan family listened for a long time, and felt that a new door was opening in front of her, you know, she asked a man to ask for a set of gem heads, or to ask for some other benefits, all of them had to pay the price of Xiao Fu, but this Xu family is just her son's woman, and she can be rich and rival the country - God, she will give away one million, two or two million taels of silver at will, how rich should this Xu family be?

She's going crazy with jealousy!

Xu Cancan entered the inner curtain to change clothes, and the eldest princess of Yuming and Biyun brought two cronies to the palace maids, Xiaoling and Xiaodang, to follow up and wait.

When he was redressing, Xu Cancan remembered the abnormality of Honghui these days, so he whispered to Biyun: "Wait a minute, let Hongfu go to the Duchess of Dingguo, and then send a young and inconspicuous palace maid to follow." ”

Biyun replied "yes" and said, "The little bells and bells were all sent by Bianjing Beizhuang, and they were personally adjusted by Mama Yin, so it's okay to send them?" ”

The eldest princess of Yuming was dipping a hosta in rose balm on Xu Cancan's lips, Xu Cancan was inconvenient to speak, but just waved her hand, signaling that Biyun was in charge.

After lunch, Yuan, who had seen the luxurious life in the palace, left with everyone with jealousy.

Others ignore her, she doesn't pay attention to others, and when she sees that the female official who leads her is pretty and lovely, she has the heart to buy it.

Yuan Shi glanced at the grandmothers and maids who followed behind him, and frowned - these were all people sent by Fu Yunzhang to spy on her, and she had to find a way to get rid of them.

After the guests left, Xu Cancan, who had been with the guests for half a day, was also very tired, so he took off his makeup and took Fu Rui to take a nap, and Hongfu and Gray Hui took the second prince and the third princess to sleep.

When Xu Cancan's mother and son woke up, it was already sunset, Zhu Yan took the palace maid and grandmother to lead Fu Rui and Lan Ying'er to the garden to play, Xu Cancan drank a cup of honey water under Biyun's service, and then went into the bathroom to take a bath.

The eldest princess of Yuming was very enthusiastic about her new position, and had already prepared the selected internal and external clothes, jewelry and various items for dressing in Xu Cancan's living room.

Xu Cancan found that the eldest princess of Yuming was like a little girl, and she treated herself as her favorite doll to dress up, which was a little funny in her heart, but she was not annoyed.

And the eldest princess of Yuming is looking at Xu Cancan, preparing to dress Xu Cancan as the most beautiful queen in the world. She thinks that Queen Xu is very beautiful, and what she wants to do is to put the finishing touches to highlight Queen Xu's beauty!

Biyun stepped forward and reported in a low voice: "Xiao Ling and Xiao Zhong quietly followed the Duchess of Dingguo. Duchess Dingguo asked Sister Honghui to take her to Qingfeng Pavilion under the pretext of changing clothes, and Xiaoling overheard her giving Hongyuan a bracelet, but she didn't know what the bracelet was. ”

Xu Cancan let out a "hmm" and said, "Let Xiao Ling Xiao Bell look at the red fern without a trace, and report back to you if there is anything wrong!" ”

Biyun replied "yes".

Fu Yuchen was in the front study guest room to meet the fourth prince of Dongyi, Li Cangqiong, and the crown prince of Liao, Ye Luwei.

In the past two years, he has wanted to develop national strength and improve military strength, and he doesn't want to fight yet, so he is polite to Li Cangqiong and Yelu, and in order to pull and fight, he is more enthusiastic about Li Cangqiong.

Because of the rare enthusiasm of Emperor Qingping, Li Cangqiong was full of spring breeze. He sent the biological mother of Emperor Qingping who came to defect to the Dongyi mission in public at the welcoming ceremony, although there was a sense of reminding Emperor Qingping of his origin, but more importantly, he found out that the Yuan family was indeed the biological mother of Emperor Qingping, and he had the intention of asking for retribution.

Although the covenant between Dongyi and Daliang had been signed, the details needed to be negotiated further, so he took advantage of this to make many demands.

Fu Yuchen smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and sipped it slowly, without speaking.

Li Zheng, who was accompanying the guests next to him, negotiated with Li Cangqiong.

The purpose of the crown prince of Liao's trip was to see the strength of the former rival Daliang, and when he saw that Emperor Qingping was so enthusiastic about Dongyi, he couldn't help but despise it in his heart: a weak country is still a weak country, and Dongyi, a small country, is also so welcome!

After the guests left, Fu Yuchen sat alone in the study and read.

Listening to the rain come in and report: "The Duchess of Dingguo asks to see you." ”

Fu Yuchen didn't raise his head: "I don't see it." ”

Tingyu held a burden with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, this is what the Duchess of Dingguo asked the slave to transfer to you!" ”

Fu Yuchen wanted to see what kind of moth his biological mother had, so he said, "Open it." ”

Tingyu spread the open burden on the couch and shook all the clothes inside, so he asked Emperor Qingping to see it.

Looking at the middle clothes from big to small, Fu Yuchen couldn't help but smile angrily, and looked at Tingyu: "Did the Duchess of Dingguo let you pass the word, these clothes were sewn by herself one by one by her guess over the years?" ”

Tingyu opened his mouth wide and said in admiration: "Your Majesty, you are really a god!" ”

Fu Yuchen looked at the clothes and felt disgusted, so he ordered Tingyu: "It's all burned."

In the evening, Biyun quietly reported to Xu Cancan: "The Duchess of Dingguo gave Hongyuan a sapphire and gold-inlaid ring. ”

Xu Cancan smiled.

Yuan's shot is nothing more than that.

When Fu Yuchen came back, Su Yan followed behind and commanded a few eunuchs to carry four large ebony carved boxes.

Xu Cancan greeted him, put his hand in Fu Yuchen's hand, looked up at Fu Yuchen, and said with a smile: "My Majesty, what gift do you want to give your concubine?" ”

Fu Yuchen held her boneless hand and said, "The envoy of the Yue Kingdom has sent this year's tribute. He didn't bother to say the details.

Xu Cancan heard that Yue Guo was located on an island, and although there were few people and resources, it produced fine pearls, corals and precious stones, so he was a little curious, and after joining hands with Fu Yuchen, he asked Su Yan to open these boxes.

There are a total of four branch lamps lit in the main hall, illuminating the whole main hall as bright as day, and when the four boxes are opened together, Xu Cancan is still dazzled by the treasures in the boxes - a box of pearls the size of a dragon's eye, a box of uncut gems of various colors, a box of boxes with inlaid heads, and a box of soft and vivid silks of various colors.

She looked at Fu Yuchen: "Achen, this is too much!" ”

Fu Yuchen's handsome face did not have a trace of expression, but there was a touch of deep thought in his eyes: "It's just the power of the country!" "The reason why the Yue countries are rich is because they produce these luxury goods and sell them to the countries of the Western and Eastern continents in exchange for all kinds of weapons. Now that the war is over, according to the armistice agreement between the two countries, the Yue State, as a subject state of the Great Liang, will give one-third of the annual income of the country to the Great Liang as an annual tribute.

His purpose is to make the Yue Kingdom have no spare strength to support the army, and one day it will completely rely on the Great Liang and will no longer be able to become a hidden danger for the Great Liang.

Late at night, Fu Yuchen stood in front of the bookcase in the bedroom, hanging a jade pen in his hand, dipped in some dansha, and traced the outline of a ruby - he was designing a head for Xu Cancan.

Xu Cancan didn't expect Fu Yuchen to hide it so deeply, and he kept a hand to prevent him from knowing. She smiled and looked next to Fu Yuchen, and said coquettishly: "Achen, design me a set of heads that no one can compare to, please!" ”

Fu Yuchen paused and asked, "The most luxurious?" ”

Xu Cancan nodded again and again: "It's just that people can see that I'm very rich and rich!" ”

Fu Yuchenfeng had a hint of a smile in his eyes, glanced at Xu Cancan, took another pen, dipped it in some gold dust and began to trace.

After returning to the Guogong Mansion, the Yuan family sat down in the main courtyard hall and asked Mama Guo who stayed in the mansion: "Where is the grandfather Guo?" ”

Mama Guo curtsied and saluted, smiling and saying, "Mrs. Yu, Grandpa Guo has rested in Qingtong Courtyard!" ”

Yuan's "oh" sounded, and said softly: "Grandpa Guo has worked hard, I'll go and send some supplements to Grandpa Guo!" ”

She was confident that she could hook Fu Yunzhang back from those little goblins!

After playing the role of a good wife with Fu Yunzhang for a while, the Yuan family left with interest, and did not criticize the four Dongyi tribute girls who were standing on the side with untidy clothes and messy sideburns.

Looking at her back, a trace of doubt appeared on Fu Yunzhang's face.

On the second day, Yuan took a car to the Qiandi again, carrying a burden in her arms, which is said to be the clothes she made for the crown prince and the second prince.

After going through many reports, Mama Dong took her two mothers-in-law out to see Yuan.

She curtsied and bowed, and then looked at the Yuan family with a smile: "It's really unfortunate, today the palace was moved, the new palace was too busy, the emperor, His Majesty, the queen's mother, the crown prince, the second prince and the third princess all went to the Jinmingyuan Palace." ”

Hearing this, Yuan's slightly raised his head and looked in the direction of Jin Mingchi in the west, his beautiful face showed a mixture of regret and yearning, and he smiled sadly and took out the small burden: "It's unfortunate that I came, it's better to go back first, this bag of clothes is made by me for the crown prince and the second prince, I hope Mama will hand it over." ”

Mama Dong naturally agreed.
