Chapter 227: Protecting the Short

Since Xu Xunxing set up the Aoshan lantern, the Lantern Festival has become a practice to hold both inside and outside, and the Aoshan Lantern Festival in the Royal Garden also has an advantage, that is, the venue is exquisite, and various arrangements can be made in combination with ice sculptures. As for the harem ladies, not all of them have such treatment - even if the emperor wants to bring it, it depends on the face of the queen mother.

The so-called not a family, not entering a family, after all, there is some truth in this statement. When Xu Xun was young, he felt that Emperor Wen was already enough to hold grudges, and if he saw a little unpleasantness, he could still remember it for a year, and wait until the Spring Festival of the following year to have a seizure. At that time, she was the beneficiary, and her feelings were not very profound, but now that it is her turn to be rectified, the pain is more distinct. That year, the emperor took her out to see the lanterns, and the queen mother was so tired that she waited, the old man didn't say anything back then, but she spoke the next year, she still liked the Aoshan lantern, and she would also enjoy her face and come to the imperial garden that day - at that time, the queen had not yet recovered, and the immortal master was not suitable to come forward, Xu Xun, as the imperial concubine, naturally had to accompany her.

The emperor also wanted to invite the old man to the noon gate to see the lights, the queen mother said 'too much to move the people' to block back, he wanted to fight again, but was also stopped by Xu Xun: going out to see the lights was originally for fun, but now the queen mother is making trouble, even if you can see the lights, it is also a big reduction in fun, more than one thing is better than one less.

In this case, the emperor didn't bring anyone back then, and in the second year, no one in the harem had this honor, so he came back and said a few words, "I saw a few beautiful sisters." It is estimated that it is someone from Nannei, but Xu Xun has never asked about the personnel of Nannei, and Ma Shi, Zhang Liujiu and others have never sent news.

This year is the year of the queen's big haode, and the emperor once again mentioned inviting the queen mother to go out to see the lanterns, even the queen, the imperial concubine, and the concubine Hui were invited, and the queen mother was also considered to give face, but Xu Xun now wished that he would stay and watch the small lantern festival, but the high title is not good, and there are many people watching every move, just if you want to steal and play tricks, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

And in the New Year, it is not easy to find someone to talk to in private, no matter how high the seat of the Jingci Immortal Master is when the ladies usually get together, it is impossible for her to attend any formal banquet venue in the New Year, Xu Xun is not good to go to Chang'an Palace to find her, or that sentence, the status is high, the movement is too big, go to find the Jingci Immortal Master at this time, who knows what he will think if he is reported to the emperor?

Besides, how do you start with this? I heard that your daughter has always had a grudge against Kunning Palace and the third princess, and has already separated the relationship between the third princess and her mother, but I am afraid that she will instruct her subordinates to hint at Xuan'er and make him curious about her life experience......

If someone comes to the door to tell Diandian, Xu Xunzhen doesn't know what she will do, she herself is strict enough with Diandian, but if others scold her, I'm afraid that the first reaction is still instinctive protection, that's it, it is estimated that it has to be based on conclusive evidence, if there is no evidence, you have to be a little partial - let's not tell who this matter is, she has no evidence, how can she prove that Ah Huang did it? She is not the emperor, she doesn't need any evidence, and she can convict the immortal master if she proves it freely, and she will be sent to live in Nanjing. Whether it is a hint of inspiration or straight to the point, if it is really not done by Ah Huang, but the immortal master mistakenly thinks that it is her, if the mother and daughter add a knot, she will not be happy to do bad things?

Because of this incident, Xu Xun's New Year was absent-minded, and it happened that during the Chinese New Year, she and Ah Huang had more opportunities to meet, looking at Ah Huang's pretty appearance, Xu Xun really had mixed feelings in his heart: people's hearts are separated from their belly, compared to the Queen Mother, the Queen and others who have been stable for many years, and have been getting along for many years, and know each other very well, Ah Huang is a newly grown little lotus, she really doesn't have the grasp of seeing through it at a glance. After all, so far, apart from some gossip from the people below, Ah Huang has not had many opportunities to show his temperament in front of her.

After this year, the first year old will be fourteen, Xu Xun at her age, has entered the palace to prepare to serve the grandson, Ah Huang has grown sharply in the past two years, and her height is about to catch up with Xu Xun, she was born very much like her mother, her eyebrows are clear, elegant and quiet, sometimes she looks forward to it, her demeanor and the Jingci Immortal Master of the year are almost carved out of the same mold, and the momentum cannot be said to be much weaker than Xu Xun, after all, as a princess, she has also been raised very carefully since she was a child. Xu Xun secretly observed her gestures, and his heart became more and more shaken: This matter is really the immortal master or the queen mother, and the people around Ah Huang are unhappy, so is it because of this? If Ah Huang had learned the three-point city government of Jingci Immortal Master, it would be impossible to do such a big thing, wouldn't he? She is fourteen years old this year, but she is not eleven or twelve years old, or when she was ignorant, because of the teaching of the grandmother around her, if she wants to harm others, she will make some other arrangements.

After thinking about it, Ah Huang's suspicion was absolutely unspeakable, and no matter how difficult it was to say this, Xu Xun had no choice but to find Jingci Immortal Master to confess.

"Bixia wants to send me to Nanjing for a retreat."

Cultivators are not too old, although there are corresponding auspicious decorations in the Chang'an Palace, but there is a lack of festive atmosphere, so the Tai is uninhabited for half a time, the house is less popular, and it is more bleak and cold, Jingci Immortal Master wears a thick cotton robe, sits cross-legged on the kang, and there is no decoration all over the body, it seems that compared with the Taoist aunt in the countryside, it is only better. She repeated Xu Xun's words, but she didn't move her emotions, "What is it for this time?" ”

Xu Xun explained the emperor's statement, "I don't know who told Xuan'er about this, anyway, ......"

"Anyway, Bixia has a fixed opinion and has already counted this matter on my head." Jing Ci Immortal Master said lightly.

"Hmm......" Xu Xun said in a low voice, "Over the years, Qingning Palace has taken some measures against Kunning Palace, and the eldest brother also thinks it is ......."

"Oh, I'm used to it." Immortal Master Jingci actually smiled, she didn't say anything for herself, but continued to ask, "Let me go to Nanjing...... What is he going to say to the old lady? ”

"In the eldest brother's heart, I expected that the old lady didn't know about it." Xu Xundao, "If it wasn't her, then it would be you, if she did, since the eldest brother put on a posture of wanting to investigate to the end, I guess he probably thought that the old lady would not tell for you......"

It's actually more dampening to say this, at least there is a suspicion of discrediting the relationship between the first mother and son of the Heavenly Family, Jingci Immortal Master sighed, and didn't argue anything for the Queen Mother, but said, "It's time for Kunning Palace to run this year, she is in good health, not to mention, she is sleepy, and someone else also sent a pillow, I will go, I must be in charge of the palace, and I will return to her Kunning Palace." ”

Xu Xun was slightly moved, "Is the old man's spirit like this?" ”

"When people are old, it is inevitable that they will not be able to bear the details." The immortal master said, "In addition, sending me to Nanjing is tantamount to cutting her face again, I think, there is a seventy or eighty percent chance that the old lady will hand over the power, at most in the future, and then repeat the old tricks, rubbing the Mo Kunning Palace - this is actually more active and comfortable than her own management of the palace." ”

Xu Xun had no choice but to inform the Immortal Master Emperor of his decision, "The eldest brother didn't think about stabbing the old lady again, he asked me to take care of the house, but I was afraid that it was more or less to untie the old lady's heart knot." ”

Immortal Master Jingci was slightly startled, but he also quickly showed a relieved smile, "Bixia's weighing technique is really one-minded and easy to use. Looking at it this way, this time I was sent away, not for the queen, but for the bolt. ”

Xu Xun nodded and sighed, "It's just that he really didn't have anyone to use, so he had to move me out again...... Alas, what's the use of these bad things, I just ask my sister, you're not willing to go to Nanjing, right? ”

"Ah Huang is going to get married in the next two years, although you take care of me, but if I am here, the old lady can watch me take care of her more, one more person, always one more benefit." The immortal master tactfully answered Xu Xun's question.

"Then it's not good to delay any longer," Xu Xun sighed in her heart, she didn't like what she was about to say, but she didn't know what else to do, "Bolt is the heart of the eldest brother, in my opinion, this time he wants to have a seizure, in fact, it is not for the queen's mother, most of them are to punish a hundred people, so that others dare not fight the idea of bolting." As long as you can hand over the real murderer, I will say a few words for my sister, you will live in Chang'an Palace more in the future, I see if you go to Nanjing, the meaning is actually not very ......"

Handing over the real murderer is a very broad statement, especially in the case that Zhu'er can't be disturbed, who the immortal master hands over depends on her own arrangement, Xu Xun can't guarantee that the person who really hands over is the person responsible, in fact, she can't be sure who is right and who is wrong in this matter, because none of the people who said those words to Shu'er are fake, and none of them even point to the queen. She has a feeling that she is acting for the emperor and the tiger, but if she doesn't act like this, the immortal master will go to Nanjing to be imprisoned, which is extremely unfair to the immortal master, and it is another blow to Ah Huang, who may or may not be innocent......

She doesn't think about it, the more she thinks about it, the more frustrating it becomes, it's not the same as the Zhuang'er incident, in the Zhuang'er incident, the person who has been making mistakes is Wu Yu'er, and she Zuihou is still harming her and her own son, but the turmoil of Zhu'er's life experience, starting from the queen's thought, has become a big whirlpool now, so far, the queen herself has been punished, but there are countless innocent people who have been involved, and they have paid a heavy price for these things that have nothing to do with them.

"Hand over the ...... real murderer," the immortal master muttered, "I think, the level of this real murderer can't be too low, right?" ”

Xu Xun acquiesced: Casually pull three sweepers out and say that they are the real murderers, even if it is the truth, it is impossible to pass the test, after all, the emperor thought about this conspiracy so high before, and after you told him that all this was a coincidence, it was you who thought about it yourself...... With such a slap in the face of the emperor, what good fruit can the immortal master eat? At least they have to be the neighbors around the immortal master, and the palace maid who has followed her for many years can become the mastermind of 'being unfair to the immortal master, so this is a matter of separation', plus her clarification, the immortal master has the possibility of passing the test.

"That'...... You see, who is behind this? The immortal master didn't want to arrange a replacement for the dead ghost, but asked thoughtfully.

Xu Xun was stunned for a moment, "This ...... Are you sure you're not an old lady? ”

"The old lady will not do such a thing," the immortal master still knows the queen mother's temperament very well, and when she saw Xu Xun's expression, she smiled, "I mean seriously, no matter how Bixia thinks of the old lady and how she thinks of me over the years, at least the old lady is still above board." She wants to suppress Kunning Palace, there are so many means, acting like this, doesn't it give Bixia an excuse to make trouble? ”

Xu Xun's expression was actually not distorted because of this, she didn't pay attention to the immortal master's words, but said softly, "Yes, I also think that this matter is young, and I don't care about the tail, it doesn't look like you or the old lady did it......"

Immortal Master Jingci was slightly stunned, and a little confusion appeared on her face, "Xiao Xun, what do you mean by this?" Is there already a guesser? ”

Xu Xun could only say this, seeing that the immortal master did not comprehend, she continued casually, "I think, if you want to check, it is best to send someone to contact Wang Zhen, he is the eldest companion of Zhu'er, and he must accompany him when he goes out, unlike Luo Concubine and the group of nurses, he went out from the Qianqing Palace, and he can still support favors." This can also convince the eldest brother that maybe he can really find out the main messenger...... Even if it's to ...... Ahem, I have to communicate with Wang Zhen. ”

"I don't think it's okay to cheat, Wang Zhen is now on an errand in Kunning Palace." The immortal master said, "But you said that you will investigate with Wang Zhen, the idea is not bad, the inner servant always has to sell well, Wang Zhen is a kind person, and he has always been very respectful to me, I think if I invite the old lady to come forward, he will not help Kunning Palace, and he must trap me in." ”

It can be seen that she has a very good impression of Wang Zhen, and there is a little more relaxation between her eyebrows and eyes, but Xu Xun really can't help it - according to this line of thought, it is indeed possible to touch the melon along the vine - and then touch Ah Huang all the way, but she really doesn't know how to remind the immortal master of the risk, if she persuades the immortal master not to take this road, then the biggest possibility is that the immortal master will find a few henchmen to top the tank, and they will bear the emperor's anger. Impartiality and thoughtfulness seem to have no balance at all.

"Why do you still have such a complexion?" The immortal master seemed to have misunderstood, "I know, you have a complaint in your heart for the old lady...... Yes, over the years, she has used me to suppress the queen, and you are a little overwhelmed, but this does not mean that she is just using me...... Alas, it is difficult for people to imagine that they will grow old one day, in the past few years, I think the old lady also has a little regret in her heart, otherwise, she will not be better and better for me, in this matter, she will definitely try her best to protect me, so as not to send me to Nanjing, you can rest assured. ”

The queen mother ordered the immortal master to live above the queen, of course, it was a very cool thing for her and the immortal master, and it did cause a lot of damage to the queen's prestige, but the question that followed was that according to common sense, she would definitely die before the queen, and she would not live past the emperor. Ah Huang, a princess, is not the most favored among her daughters, how can she protect her biological mother when the time comes? Even if you don't let her die directly, or if you are beaten and abused with three meals, these are not the only ways to torture and humiliate people.

This reason, Xu Xun can think about it, the queen mother and the immortal master will not think about it, the reason why there is such a thing, in the immortal master, she has no other way, attached to the queen mother, and a day is counted as a day, in the queen mother, it is nothing more than not caring enough, hitting the queen's euphoria, more than worrying about the future of the immortal master. It is because of the immortal master that over the years, she has been able to gradually come to this point in the Qingning Palace, and even the emperor has to admit that the 'vague second master' has also worked hard, but Xu Xun is not sure where the relationship between her and the queen mother has reached. But that's not what she cares about now, seeing that the immortal master hasn't understood yet, she has to sigh secretly - why don't you say it's tricky? Today's matter, she handled it forward-looking, and it was really not of any standard.

"I didn't mean this...... she said weakly, "you haven't thought about itβ€”hey, I'll just say it, you haven't thought about it, could this be Ah Huang's doing?" After all, she and Yuanyuan live in the same princess's house, and I have heard before that Ah Huang is a little unaccustomed to Yuanyuan. ”

No matter how wise a person is, he may have to be stupid when it comes to his children, the immortal master is now in such a transparent state of mind, hearing Xu Xun speak, his eyes are wide open, and he didn't make a sound for a long time, Xu Xun didn't say anything more, so he said goodbye and left, anyway, whether it was Ah Huang or not, it would not be her turn to educate - if you don't want to go to Nanjing, I believe that within a few days, there will be actions on the immortal master's side.

Indeed, just after the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, the immortal master invited Xu Xun to speak, and this meeting had one meaning: I hope that Xu Xun can intercede in front of the emperor and let the immortal master live until Ah Huang's marriage.

And of course, Ah Huang's marriage will also be advanced because of this, and the immortal master wants her to marry as much as possible within the year.
