In winter, Nannai is already covered in snow, and in addition to the beauty, it is still very cold. However, Xu Xun was in a warm sedan chair just now, surrounded by several lavender balls, wearing thick mink fur and warm boots with fur on his feet, and he was just as warm when he walked in the snow.

A group of subordinates waited in a sheltered place, Xu Xun only brought flowers to accompany him, and the two walked silently for a while, and Hua'er said, "Master, go to Xiao Wu Guiren, and walk closer from here." ”

She guessed what Xu Xun meant first, and Xu Xun was not surprised, the person who came to check on Wu Yu'er's situation last time was Hua'er. It is also because Xiao Wu Guiren has been much quieter in the past few months, and he has been able to remove the window panel, Xu Xun will come to see her in person - she has not seen it in person, to determine her mental condition, she is not at ease to let Wu Yu'er contact Zhuang'er.

There are few people in winter, the wind in the south is not small, although the two eunuchs guarding the door are dressed tightly, but they still can't help but cold and pale, seeing Xu Xun coming, they all bow and salute, Xu Xun is not busy going in first, seeing them like this, he stopped and asked, "Are you on duty here, is it impossible to stand in the snow like this?" ”

"Returning to the mother's words," said the eunuch at the gate, "this is the errand of the slaves, so naturally I dare not slack off." ”

This is the first winter that Wu Yu'er has come, when she was assigned to Nannei before, it was spring and summer, and guarding the door was not a chore, it was so cold at this time, and it was easy to stand up for a problem after standing in the snow for a long time.

Xu Xun couldn't help frowning, "Could it be that this is a person who has been in person for twelve hours?" ”

"Not really." The eunuch said, "After dark, after the nobles have had dinner, the slaves and maidservants will lock up and go back to the house to rest, and come here early the next morning." Originally, there were four people who took turns guarding the door, but the remaining two were sick, and the two slaves and maids were here to guard them these days. ”

Usually the defenders stand guard during the day, which is about a few hours after a change, and they immediately return to the house to eat and drink some hot food. For example, in the palace where Xu Xun was imprisoned before, there is also a row of gatehouses at the door where the stove can be used for heating. Otherwise, on such a cold day, no one can help but toss like this - this matter, if it is good in the palace city, it can be xiangshang feedback, Xu Xun estimates that the queen will not sit idly by. It's just that the emperor casually sent a sentence to Nannei, and the affairs of Nannei are three things, Qingning Palace doesn't care, Kunning Palace doesn't care, Qianqing Palace doesn't care, Wu Yu'er himself is a sinner prisoner, there is no way to send words up, these unlucky eunuchs can only suffer like this.

"The house is small, and it is indeed difficult to find a porter." Xu Xundao, "Hua'er, go back and talk to Mama, reward them with a warm cloak, now it's almost the moon, don't be busy with anything, before tomorrow winter, I will build a small house for you." ”

Time was limited, and she didn't want to listen to those words of thanks, so she walked into the courtyard by herself, and the two eunuchs stepped forward and hurriedly knocked on the door for her, shouting, "Nobleman, the noble concubine Niangniang is here to visit you." ”

There was no sound in the room, so he slowly pushed the door open.

Xiao Wu Meiren was silent, she was already standing behind the door, and after the door opened, she didn't speak, so she knelt down and saluted Xu Xun in a fairly standard posture. He got up again and stood straight and straight staring at the ground, but he looked like a palace maid.

Xu Xun looked at her a few times, and was a little satisfied-although the clothes were a little old, they were not to the point of tatters, her hair was neatly combed, and there was actually a silver hairpin inserted in her hair...... Although she hasn't raised her head, just looking at her dress, you know that Wu Yu'er is mostly not so crazy.

"It's still warm in the house," she said to the flowers, "so that it won't be winter." ”

Although it is certainly not as good as the warm pavilion of Yong'an Palace, and even worse than the lower room in Yichun Palace-there is no kang, but there are several stoves burning in the house, and after coming in, you can still feel the warmth of the melting. Hua'er said, "Niangniang is right, the emperor's grace is mighty, even if she is a sinner, she will not be treated badly." ”

Her tone is very hard, full of disdain for Xiao Wu's beauty. Wu Yu'er's shoulders trembled slightly, she raised her head and stared at the flowers, her eyes were green, a bit like a wolf.

As expected......

Xu Xun sighed secretly in his heart, but he was not surprised at all. The Emperor seemed to be a man who liked to keep secrets, and he had single-handedly arranged for Luo Concubine's family to live elsewhere without telling Luo Concubine a word—and that was fine, after all, he probably did not expect that Luo Concubine would guess that the family was not a fake as claimed, but her real blood relative. But he relegated Wu Yu'er to Nannei, but he didn't explain things clearly to her at all, in Wu Yu'er's heart, her drugging and framing herself has not been exposed, and the emperor locked her up in Nannei completely because she asked Lilac to go out of the palace to make medicine.

Of course, this is also a crime, but it was committed because he wanted to frame her Xu Xun, if Wu Yu'er hates her even more because of this, it is also very suitable for her character. -- At that time, I didn't want to adopt a strong child, and I didn't have any concerns about this, but after I adopted, I always had to tell him about it and bring him to see my mother. My mother hates her so much, how should this relationship be handled, Xu Xun is really a little unsure.

"You still have hatred in your heart." She said, "Still not convinced? ”

Wu Yu'er was silent, as if she could hide her true emotions in this way, she just stared at Xu Xun unrelentingly, her attitude was humble, and a trace of domineering was born from her humility. It seems that Xu Xun has a request for her, and she will definitely give in first, and although she lost this game, she is not ready to completely admit defeat, and wants to find a little victory and dignity in the next conversation.

"Don't think that I'm coming to you because I have something to ask of you." Xu Xun felt that she needed to correct her wrong cognition, "Let Zhuang'er come to see you for the good of Zhuang'er, the child will not see his mother, and it will always be a pity to think about it in the future...... However, if you continue to be like this, then I would rather make him regret it in the future than bring him to you. ”

"Are you afraid?" Wu Yu'er hissed, she didn't care about the eunuchs waiting outside the door at all, even the flowers who had no disgust on the side, her voice was like a poisonous fire, she couldn't wait to burn this house down, "What are you afraid of?" Afraid of me like this? Or are you afraid that I will tell the truth to Zhuang'er? ”

"What is there to be afraid of the truth, I was going to tell him the truth." Xu Xun glanced at her and said disdainfully, "Isn't there a mirror in your room?" ――Take a picture of your expression, a child will be frightened when he sees it. ”

Wu Yu'er closed her mouth again, she was like a wounded eagle, once she realized that the situation was a little wrong, she patiently rose up again, and pulled herself out of the situation, as if in the air, it was enough to protect herself.

"The last time Hua'er came to see you, I was afraid that she couldn't speak clearly, so I didn't say much." Xu Xun didn't bother to pay attention to her, she took care of herself. "In the next few months, Hua'er will come to see you, she will bring you some books, some pen and ink, you have nothing to do, you can read the books to solve the problem. When Zhuang'er is two and a half years old, you will have one more chance - if Hua'er thinks you can, I will come to see you again. ”

"I don't expect you to suddenly change as a person, and you always greet you with a smile." She said to Wu Yu'er, "I don't expect you to suddenly be loyal to me and say good things about me...... There is no need. You hate me, and I know that although I don't hate you, I also look down on you very much, and I don't want to have anything to do with you. I just need you to do some face-saving work, at least to Zhuang'er, to show a smile, don't scare him into tears. He'll know you're his real mother, and you can rest assured that I'm not going to hide that from him. However, if you are always very excited about him, you will scare him......"

Seeing the slight change in Wu Yu'er's face, Xu Xun felt that she had achieved her goal today - as soon as she finished speaking, she didn't want to stay longer for a moment. Ignoring Wu Yu'er at all, he turned around and walked out of the house.

On the way back, Hua'er wanted to speak several times, and finally asked, "Niangniang, you said that the slave thinks she can do it...... Isn't it true that if the slave thinks she can't do it, you won't come to see her? ”

"yes." Xu Xun said, "What do you think of her mental condition now?" ”

"I'm still scared." Hua'er said truthfully, "Although she is not so crazy, her eyes are bright at a glance - the slave is not deliberately alarmist, but she is like that, and no one wants her to approach her own child." ”

"I only found out when I lived alone in Nannei," Xu Xun nodded, "Living alone for a long time and not talking to people, it will be like this, and if you are not crazy, you will gradually become abnormal...... She's a sinner, and there's no way I'm going to send her a toyer, a handmaiden, to help her keep her sane. It's okay to give her a topic to think about, you hate her, it's always on your face, as long as she still has a little sense, she should know that it is not a trivial job to please you. ”

It is a bit ridiculous to let a former concubine please herself, but it is quite interesting to think about it, Hua'er couldn't help but have a smile on her face, and she couldn't help but say again, "Do you really want her to meet Zhuang'er, Niangniang?" Zhuang'er is now looking at you as his mother...... It's just that if it comes out in the future, there are so many people and physical evidence, and this kid can't give birth to mustard in his heart, right? ”

"It's just a meeting, saying a few words through the window, and there are many people watching, and she can't eat the child." Xu Xun sighed, "As for whether you can see it or not, let's see her recover." Although she deserved what she did, it was harmful and useless to hide it from Zhuang'er - besides, she just wanted to hide it, how long do you think she could hide it? ”

There seemed to be a mystery in her words, and Hua Er was stunned, "You mean, over there in Kunning Palace-"

Xu Xun had a smile on her lips, she didn't deny it, "Isn't she going to screw me now?" I'm going to hide it from Zhuang'er, and she'll definitely get in the way...... Hey, if she knows I've never wanted to hide it, I don't know what kind of mood it would be. ”

Seeing that the warm sedan chair was in front, she pulled the flowers, "It's so cold outside, let's take a few quick steps - after going back for a while, remember to tell Mama Zhao to find two thick materials to send, but it doesn't have to be too good." Give some fine wine, guard the door in the snow, it's not a joke, if it is not properly maintained, it will be boring to fall into the root of the old cold leg disease for a lifetime. ”

"Mother's love." Hua'er pursed her lips and smiled, "Can the slave and maid think of these things?" As far as you're concerned, it's much more thoughtful. ”

While talking and laughing, the two masters and servants quickened their pace and went back and forth.

#

"Went to the West Garden?" The emperor was a little surprised, "It's all here, why haven't you come back?" ”

"It must have been forgotten." A little bit of unhappiness, although he occupied his father's arms and couldn't hug his younger brother, he still pouted and said, "Mother is the most annoying!" Dad, let's go, ignore her! ”

The emperor couldn't help laughing, he helped Xu Xun save his impression, "I won't take you to Xiyuan because you are still ...... young"

"Not really!" A little bit angrily, "It's to leave me at home to watch my brother!" - I hate my brother! Dad, you take my brother away, I don't want my brother anymore! ”

Mama Qian was so anxious that she was sweating with several nursing mothers, and Mama Qian didn't care about the emperor's side, and reprimanded, "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

A little bit of stubbornness, when the adoptive mother said it, she became even more angry, and said in a loud voice, "Take my brother away!" I don't want a brother! I'm going to Xiyuan! ”

The emperor has always loved children, but he was also annoyed by her, and frowned, "Don't make trouble, it's cold, children can't go, and it's not just you!" ”

I cried out with a little wow, "Who said that!" ”

She whimpered before she confided her true words, "The eldest sister and the third sister are gone, woo...... My mother sent someone to pick them up, and I, I, and I want to play with my sisters......"

Crying is easier to do, the emperor hurriedly handed her back to the nurse, Qian Mama made a look, the nurse took the dot to the next room to coax, the emperor was relieved, looked at the strong child on the kang - the child looked worried, and looked at the direction of his sister's crying, as if he did not notice that he had just been angry.

"Did you really send someone to pick up Ah Huang and Yuanyuan?" He was a little surprised-although Xu Xun would bring his two daughters with him when he traveled with him, but ......

"Back to the emperor's words, it's so true." Mama Qian also explained to Xu Xun, "Because she is a little afraid of the cold, she is still young, and she is afraid that she will slip if she is unstable on the snow." I refused to bring it once last time, but the two little highnesses are older, and they also love to play in the snow, and Yuanyuan also came around a few days ago to beg Niangniang to take her to play, and Niangniang sent someone to ask, if you can go, you will pick up and play together. ”

It seems that this is not the first time. The emperor nodded slightly: The relationship between Yuanyuan and Yong'an Palace is indeed good, and when she picked her up to play, she was still talking about her sister.

"You can take her with you next year, but this year it's a little younger." He said, "In a few years, I will also bring a bolt, and there will be only a few children in the family, and the children will not be able to distance themselves from each other." ”

Will Mama Qian still have two words? Anyway, if the emperor said this, it may not mean that the concubine will do this, she respectfully agreed, "The emperor is right." ”

The Emperor glanced at her, but without much effort, he could see the faint disdain on the old man's face - not that she despised herself as a person, no, the Emperor could see that the disdain of this old woman was because she felt that she had said something very stupid.

Xu Xun will pick up Yuanyuan, but he will never pick up the bolt, even if he speaks, it is useless...... This old lady thinks so, and she has so many reasons for being sure. Although Yong'an Palace will not take the initiative to frame and suppress others, Xu Xun is by no means a fool, and she will not send Kunning Palace a handle against her for no reason. ――In the queen's life, it is estimated that her thoughts about her cannot be changed.

In the past year, she has been in charge of it inside and out, and he is not dissatisfied with the hard work she has put in. At least, compared to the chaotic harem under the Hu family, the queen's efforts were not fruitless. It's the same as having an aggressive favorite concubine, it's really fair to say that Xu Xun's actions are even worse than she was back then, saying that she will go to Xiyuan when she goes to Xiyuan, and she will go to Nannei when she says she will go to Nannei, except for asking for peace every three days, she won't go to any other activities, if she doesn't want to go, she won't go anyway, she doesn't even care about face, and she clearly disdains Kunning Palace...... Under such a premise, the queen can still govern the palace properly, clean and quiet, there is little chaos, and even Dongchang is difficult to find her omissions, and this ability alone is worthy of his praise. -- As for her feelings for him, for her, that's another matter.

However, it is precisely because the queen is such a capable character, as long as he still spoils Xu Xun, as long as Xu Xun still raises a strong child, and is still a concubine, her jealousy of Xu Xun will never stop. It's just that after his warning, she may not do something really taboo, blowing the pillow wind on herself, that is, the only thing she can do. As for this thought, this action, it is still necessary to allow the queen, who in the world is really beautiful and flawless? The three elders in the cabinet still don't like each other, and it is impossible to ask the horses to run and the horses not to eat grass. There are some things that the emperor knows in his heart, and watching the queen rack her brains to deal with Xu Xun is an interesting spice.

However, today's trick she made did surprise him a little, the emperor didn't think the queen would lie, she said that Han Nushi said in front of her, 'I don't want to be martyred, so I don't want to be a concubine', then Han Nushi must have said so. As for what she said to Xu Xun......

"Mother."

"Mother."

"Mom—"

The jagged voice reminded the emperor, he raised his head, raised the corners of his lips slightly almost reflexively, and smiled when he saw Xu Xun, "Back?" ”

"I'm back." Xu Xun was about to salute, the emperor waved his hand, she was not polite at all, her knees that had just bent bent bounced up, and she said while uncovering her cloak, "Why did you come here so early today?" Is the cabinet fine? ”

"It's not a big day." The emperor said, "It's nothing more than some red folds, I fought for a long time, and then I came over." - But you, who arrived after dark, stayed in Xiyuan for so long? ”

"No, I brought two children," Xu Xun smiled, and she took off the Zhaojun cover on her head. "It's early to disperse, I passed through Nannei when I came back, and I went to see Wu Yu'er by the way."

The emperor's eyebrows couldn't help but jump—he was really easy to be surprised by Xu Xun. "What are you doing to see her?"

Xu Xun hugged the little bit who had long forgotten to be angry, ignored the emperor for a while, and said with a smile while wiping the tears on the little girl's face, "Look what my mother brought back for you - this thing can't be put in the house, I'll leave it on the snowdrift outside, go and see?" ”

Coaxed a little bit to be happy, cheered and rushed out of the back room with a group of people, Xu Xun signaled his adoptive mother to take Zhuang'er away, and then walked to the emperor and sat down, "I think, if Wu Yu'er can sincerely repent, when Zhuang'er is sensible, let him visit him, tell him his life experience, this kind of thing is nothing to hide, paper can't hold the fire, whoever inadvertently says a word, can make the child aware of it, we hide it, the child is easy to think in his heart, and it was exposed at the beginning, although it was because of the mother's mistake." , Zhuang'er is inevitably embarrassed, but if I teach him well, he can understand. It's like hiding it from others, and then it is known from others, but it is divided. ”

This could not be said to be ignored, but the emperor felt uncomfortable for a while when he thought of Wu Yu'er's stupidity, not because of her viciousness, and he frowned, "Why bother? I don't approve of Zhuang'er going to see his biological mother, what if she takes him badly, you have to tell him the truth...... Okay, wait until his mother is dead. ”

He wanted to say, 'Then wait for me to strangle Wu Yu'er, you can talk about it', but thinking of Xu Xun's temperament, he stopped his mouth again.

Rao is like this, Xu Xun is already frowning, but she didn't defend much, but smiled and said, "Zhuang'er is still young after all...... There's no hurry. But you are the eldest brother, too, and you keep people in a clean room...... She didn't care, the people who guarded her outside were pitiful, and on a cold day, there was no place to rest and drink hot tea, so she stood in the snow like that. ”

"Really?" The Emperor exclaimed, "Is it to lock her up in the changing room?" ”

He really didn't think of this gatekeeper's joint at the time, but now that he thinks about it, the house that Ma Shi said is indeed very narrow, and it doesn't leave a place for the gatekeeper. Hearing Xu Xun mention it, he said, "Then wait for next winter, change her place and arrange a kang in the gatekeeper's house, it will be good." Let's deal with it this year, reward a few clothes, and give more reward money to buy wine and food. ”

Xu Xun showed a sweet smile on his face, and the emperor could see that compared to the smile just now, the smile now was much more sincere.

She was so simple, so simple that she could see through it at a glance - the kind, soft-hearted, and innocent two low-ranking servants could win her pity, and they could please her when they got rid of the cold. Xu Xun's temperament may not be uncommon in this world, but it is very rare in the Chaozhong Palace, if you want to add another definition, in such a high position in the Chaozhong and the palace, she is the only one who is so simple and so tame.

Sometimes, however......

The emperor also smiled at her, pulled her to sit beside her, and asked, "Yes, have you heard about Quan Zhaorong's death?" ”

Xu Xun naturally heard about this, she nodded and said, "It's a pity, what's wrong?" ”

"I just remembered the Han Nushi next to her, the maid brought by Quan Zhaorong was usually sent back to North Korea with a silver reward, but Han Nushi entered the palace as a show girl, it seems that it is not easy to do so." He weighed the words with a smile, "When I discussed with the queen just now, the queen said that Han Nushi also begged her in order not to be a showman—"

Under his close gaze, the slightest change in Xu Xun's complexion did not escape his eyes, but he couldn't understand the thoughts behind this expression as if he understood the queen, this moment was one of those moments, Xu Xun at this time was so complicated that he couldn't understand it at all, he didn't have a clue.

The queen and the queen mother, they can't hide it from him, they know his feelings for him well, and they know everything about his wishes. But there was too much uncertainty about Xu Xun, and at such a time, he couldn't even be sure if she was ...... Whether you like him enough.

However, she said that she didn't want to be Zhaorong because she didn't want to accompany the funeral. The Emperor finished speaking.

Xu Xun didn't have the slightest look of surprise on her face - normal, when her expression moved just now, she must have guessed what the queen said. This also confirms the authenticity of this matter from the side, Xu Xun's hostility towards the queen has always been very clear, as soon as he opened his mouth, she may have guessed the queen's tricks. Of course, this also proves that Han Zhaorong must have mentioned that she didn't want to be martyred.

"Yes......" Xu Xun nodded, "She said a few words to me here." ”

Confessed...... The attitude is still so calm.

The emperor didn't notice it, but he did frown, he wanted to hide the unhappiness in his heart, and pretended to be generous and lightly exposed the matter - he shouldn't care so much, and it didn't mean that Xu Xun's liking was really more important than anything else......

"You're not angry when you hear that?" However, the words are one step faster than reason and have already rushed out of the mouth. "Then you still want to help her?"

Xu Xun seemed to be 'complicated' again, she glanced at him faintly, not angry, not as excited as when the two quarreled that day, but the indifference was still excessive.

"I'm going to be angry?" She really pushed the emperor back very hard. "I don't want to be buried, it's a matter of course, Emperor Wen is good enough for you, he went to let you be buried, are you willing?"
