Dian Dian was only sent to Yong'an Palace by Ma Shi the next morning - he came back with her, as well as the decency that made Mama Qian so happy that she couldn't even speak, and the words of defending Dian Dian himself.

"Although there are no rules, she is young, where do she know this. The emperor has already taught," Ma Shi said as if he didn't even believe it, "and ask the mother to spare her, don't make it difficult to make things and a little bit of embarrassment." ”

Xu Xun had been worried for a long time, if Huan'er hadn't come back early, he would have almost had to send people to find him, and by the way, he would have reported to Kunning Palace. In addition, yesterday, Huan'er slipped in the snow in order to chase a point, and when she came back, she also had a blue nose and swollen face, which was very terrifying. Xu Xun saw it, and his heart was even more annoyed, and he didn't care what he was talking about in the Qianqing Palace, let alone being angry with the queen, he just thought about how to educate this child after he came back - this willful and reckless character has not changed since he was a child, what can he do in the future? Who else can restrain her?

It's good now, the emperor has spoken, he is reasonable, he is the first authority in education, and it is impossible for Xu Xun to deliberately do the opposite, and make it difficult for the child in this matter...... It's not that she's a perverted mother, she just wants to do something, but this depressed anger suddenly met such a result, if she hadn't been injured yet, and she really didn't want to be the emperor in the short term, she might go directly to the Qianqing Palace to reason with him: children are never taught like this!

"Got it." She said angrily behind the screen, "At most, say a few words about her, this is always okay, right?" ”

"Niangniang said that she laughed," Ma Shi's voice brought a little smile, "Whether it is said or disciplined, it will be done, the emperor means, just don't use this matter as an excuse, and punish a little bit not to go out...... Dian Diancai didn't want to come back in the Qianqing Palace, afraid that you would punish her, it was the emperor who said, you will not punish at most, but she changed her mind. The emperor is also afraid of losing his trust. ”

When he said this, Xu Xun understood a little, and reluctantly said, "That's okay, just talk about some reasoning in a while, and if you are kind, you won't kill her." ”

After all, I was also a little curious, "What did Diandian say in the Qianqing Palace?" Is it really to say that you don't want a brother? ”

Ma Shi said with a smile, "The child's mind has become the fastest, and when she got up this morning, the emperor also asked her if she wanted her younger brother, and said that she wanted to take her younger brother away, and she cried a little bit - reluctant to give up her younger brother." ”

Although the atmosphere should be very heavy, Mama Zhao and Mama Sun who were standing on the side couldn't help but show a faint smile on their faces, and Xu Xun couldn't help but be amused to smile slightly. "She's justified anyway."

"Yes, but I didn't say anything taboo in the Qianqing Palace, so I can rest assured." Ma Shi paused, and then said, "The slave and maid came over today, and there is one more thing, that is, I want to ask Niangniang, is the ointment in the East Factory used well?" The emperor said, I can't see my mother for a long time, and my mood is inevitably impetuous, so please ask my mother to think about it and summon Imperial Doctor Liu to come in to help the pulse - you can rest assured that the slave will explain to Imperial Doctor Liu that there will be no rumors outside. ”

Xu Xun didn't expect the emperor to be like this...... Well, it can't be said to be considerate, anyway, she didn't expect his attitude to soften so quickly. After this slap, she thought that there would be no more news for at least three or five months, and it was very likely that she would even fall out of favor. After making a fuss in the Qianqing Palace, she would not be so sentimental that she felt that it was because of her that she raised a little bit, and the biggest credit had to be on her head - after all, she was a big leader. The emperor directly crossed her and rewarded Mama Qian, feeling that it was still for the sake of comforting her mother's emotions, and expressing her attitude had nothing to do with her.

Every time she confronted the emperor, she felt that the two of them would never be reconciled again - there must be loss, but more of a kind of certainty, as if something that did not belong to her had finally left, and she could calm down and face the real life that was embarrassing, bleak, and difficult, but at least very real. Now, the emperor actually softened down again so quickly, Xu Xun was a little at a loss, and was silent for a long time before he said, "The ointment is used, and it is almost good, but there are still some traces on the face." I don't think I need to be invited, I can put on some fat powder in a while, and I can also bring a little bit of it in. ”

"This—" Ma Shi hesitated.

Xu Xun nodded to Grandma Sun, and Grandma Sun took two palace maids and stepped forward to remove the screen. Ma Shi said, "Please forgive the slave for being rude." ”

He raised his head and carefully looked at Xu Xun a few times - the Dongchang ointment did work well, plus Xu Xun had been rolling around with boiled eggs on his face, and now the swelling was gone, and there was still a little red trace left. Ma Shi saw it, and said with a smile, "Then the slave and maid will be relieved, and it will be good to talk back to the emperor when I go back." ”

He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he still held back, saluted Xu Xun, and retired. - Mama Sun and Mama Zhao were all vying to send Ma Shi out, but Xu Xun made a few eye knives, but they couldn't stop it.

"Ma Shi said." The two grandmothers were happy when they came back, "The emperor knows it in his heart, and the mother can rest assured...... The emperor's heart is still here in Yong'an Palace. ”

Xu Xun was actually patronizing all night, and he was very slow to react at this time, and he was stunned for a while, and then he remembered that he should be talking about the queen's affairs - if the relationship between the queen and her before could still maintain a superficial peace, yesterday's behavior of sending a little bit to the Qianqing Palace was basically a blatant tear with her.

Of course, this matter will not be widely circulated, at most, the high-level officials and parties of the three palaces know, but from Ma Shi's words, it seems that the contradiction between the queen and her - mainly that the queen wants to deal with her - has been registered in the emperor's heart...... It is not surprising that Xu Xun will eventually lean towards her Yong'an Palace. If he was still angry, it was possible that he deliberately followed the queen's calculations to suppress her and deal with her, but now that the emperor has obviously calmed down, it is clear that no matter how excessive he is, at least he has always told the truth, and the queen has the intention to provoke ...... What the emperor dislikes the most is the use of others.

"Got it." Her mood didn't fluctuate either, "It would be strange if he suddenly got close to Kunning Palace." Don't think too much about it, if it weren't for Kunning Palace, it was someone else, maybe it wouldn't be this attitude. ”

She didn't want to say anything more, so she changed the subject. "I still can't see a little bit today, lest this Nizi think that she is making a fuss, and she is making a good fuss...... In this way, how will Mama Qian take her in the future? Speaking of which, has Mama Qian gone to the Qianqing Palace to thank her now? ”

"Go." Mama Sun said, this is also the rule of the palace, the emperor will not see her out of ten, but Mama Qian also has to kowtow to the palace gate, "When I come back, I invite her to see you?" ”

"Hmm." Xu Xun smiled, "She has the dignity to wear red, but it's terrible, don't be polite, you have to knock on the table if you don't talk about it in private." ”

Mama Zhao and Mama Sun both laughed and said, "No, Niangniang doesn't say it, we are also going to make trouble, Niangniang said it, and she will have more confidence to make trouble!" ”

Mama Sun was more awake and took the initiative to return, "But this is also what she deserves, it's really difficult to bring a little bit, and if she changes to an old slave, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of it for a long time." In the past few years, Sister Qian has seen her get old. ”

Xu Xun's slight worry has now been calmed down: Yong'an Palace has strict rules and clear rewards and punishments, and because of this, the relationship between the palace maid and the eunuch is very harmonious, there is no open and secret fighting, and there is no matter of stepping on others to climb up.

Thinking of seeing her tomorrow, Xu Xun asked Grandma Sun to rub the ointment for her again, and let them go to work, she was so quiet, there were few people left in the house to serve, anyway, there was everything in the warm pavilion, and if there was something missing, someone would naturally come outside the door.

When everyone dispersed, Xu Xun leaned on the side of the kang and read a copy of "Linchuan Collection" in his hand, but he didn't turn a page after reading it for a long time. The ink in front of him slowly distorted, as if he was about to turn into a person.

As if she was running away from something, she quickly put the book down again, simply closed her eyes and wanted to take a nap, but leaned on the pillow, without the distraction of the book, but even more thoughts, 'There is no way to eliminate this situation, so I frowned, but I was in my heart'.

To everyone's surprise, Mama Qian actually stayed in the Qianqing Palace for an hour before returning to the Yong'an Palace, followed by the eunuchs holding a few red clothes: Wearing red clothes, it was naturally allocated by the Qianqing Palace. Handed over to the Shanggong Bureau for processing, Qian Mama will be able to wear the red sticker before the year, and when the New Year activities get together, Yong'an Palace will be in the limelight again.

"That's what the old slave thinks, too." However, after all, he is an old man, and such a dignity will not make Mama Qian mess up, and it will dispel Xu Xun's worries at once. "Although this time, because of the emperor, I can't pursue a little bit, but I have to be reasonable and strictly disciplined, and there will be no such thing in the future."

She suddenly smiled at Xu Xun, a little ridiculous, "--The emperor is in the Qianqing Palace, and he said the same thing to the old slave." ”

"So, did you really see him?" Xu Xun was a little surprised, although he entered Layue, the emperor was not so idle, right?

"The emperor asked about the whole hour." A little favored, how can Mama Qian be unhappy? A radiant face, it simply made up for the years of Yangshou that had been a little damaged. "Boasting a little smart, but also saying that she is difficult to bring. The slave and maid were disciplined, and said that the slave and maid would receive some points and Zhuang'er every three days in the future to greet him...... Don't worry too much. ”

When Xu Xun heard this, he was also relieved: even if he has not reconciled with the emperor in the future, Diandian and Zhuang'er will not fail to see the emperor, but it makes her have one less thing to worry about.

"That's all?" She couldn't help but ask Mama Qian more.

Mama Qian's smile was a little knowing, "Judging from the old slave, the emperor has done enough." ”

Yes, his attitude towards Yong'an Palace is gentle enough...... Xu Xun was so upset that she didn't know what she was bothering about - yes, now that she had lowered her head in the past, this matter should be over. In all fairness, her tone was a little harder at the time, and she just couldn't control her temper. Although it is said that the emperor slapped her, there were things that were wrong, but people had the courage to admit their mistakes, and they had already made Ma Shi come over to make up for it, and their attitude towards Yong'an Palace and Diandian was so gentle that they could ...... The daughter is decent, the daughter is decent, in the final analysis, is she not decent?

However, unlike the emperor, Xu Xun couldn't get off this stage and couldn't lower his head. It is reasonable, this head should be low, she knows, but ......

"Well, let's not talk about that yet." She changed the subject. "Where's the dot? What about in the house? Have you seen her? ”

"I just came back." Several grandmothers now have a giving attitude towards Xu Xun, she doesn't say it, and Mama Qian doesn't insist, and follows her will to talk about the starting point of education, "The old slave thinks, take Huan'er over in a while, reason with a little bit, and let her make amends to Huan'er." What do you think, mother? ”

"That's very good." Xu Xun felt that the rich grandmother was really worry-free, "You can talk to her again, Huan'er and those palace people will be punished according to the rules." Don't exaggerate, just tell her the truth. Ask her again, what is she going to do when the time comes, just ignore those brothers and sisters, or what? ”

This question is of course a bit profound for a two-year-old child, Mama Qian said, "I'm afraid she may not understand." ”

"Isn't she more serious?" Xu Xunqi said, "Then tell her the truth, and then tell her, if this happens again in the future, then I can't control her, I must send it to the princess and Yuanyuan to be their companions, and ask her if she is willing to go." ”

Diandian must be unwilling, a child of this size is clinging to his mother, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a fuss. Mama Qian thought for a while, and said, "It's okay, if you are so frightened, I guess you will be able to behave in the future." ”

The two agreed, and Mama Qian couldn't wait to get up and say goodbye, and went back to see something, although Xu Xun also wanted to see her daughter who hadn't seen her for more than ten days, but she made this decision, so it was not good to overturn it herself. Although I was tormented in my heart, I could only endure it, and I was recuperating behind closed doors for a while, I didn't go out for many days, I was so depressed that I was very unhappy, and there were a million unhappy people all over my body, so I had to pace back and forth to sort out my messy mood a little.

After walking a few steps, the flowers came in and returned, with a look of surprise on her face, "Concubine Hui is here." ”

#

As far as Xu Xun knows, the slapping has not spread, except for the emperor and her close maids, outsiders should have no reason to know. At most, it was Ma Shi, because he was also in the outhouse at the time, so he knew a little bit of the inside story. However, the content of her quarrel with the emperor has so far only been limited to the two of them. After Liu Zhien went to Nanjing, no one was so bold as to come and eavesdrop on her conversation with the emperor.

In this case, from the perspective of outsiders, Xu Xun is afraid that he is really sick, and it is of course normal for Concubine Hui to come to visit the patient. - Her first thought was to pretend to be asleep and ask Concubine Hui to go back first, but Hua'er added, "Concubine Hui said that even if you rest, you have to wake you up." ”

It's hard for Grandma Sun now, and it's not a difficult job for others to arrange the 'ward' there, but she has to come over to help Xu Xun put on makeup, at least to cover up the red marks on her face, and try to trim it naturally, so as not to let Concubine Hui see it.

Xu Xun was still wondering with Grandma Sun while being put on makeup by her, "What did the queen say to her, ...... so anxious?"

The queen went to visit Concubine Hui, after Huan'er came back, of course, she had already been found out by Zhao Lun and others, Xu Xun actually had the same doubts as the emperor in his heart: Illness is good enough to run around like this, are she and Concubine Hui so good? Besides, Concubine Hui wasn't still sick yesterday, so she came to visit her today? Isn't her illness really sick?

How many people in this palace are 'sick' is real, she can't tell the difference now, can't even the queen's illness some time ago be fake? ――Xu Xun thought it was a little funny, this is really similar to the previous dynasty, anyone who doesn't want to see people, just call it sick, 'sick' is really innocent.

Sure enough, although Concubine Hui didn't say that she was radiant, she also looked refreshed and healthy, and there was no sign of being unhealthy, as soon as she entered the door, she first looked at Xu Xun a few times, and then showed a knowing smile, and sat down on the side of the kang, "I know, you are also pretending?" ”

"yes, yes." Xu Xun simply stopped acting, and the thin quilt was lifted, from half-lying to cross-legged, and people put the kang table up and sat opposite He Xianxian. "You pretended to do the same?"

"I've been pretending to be here for more than ten days!" He Xianxian waved his hand at a few people, "If you Yong'an Palace are not decent, I still have to continue to pretend...... Fortunately, you are competitive enough, and you just happened to pinch the time, otherwise, I don't know if I can stand it or not. ”

Xu Xun was a little puzzled, she raised her eyebrows, and quietly waited for He Xianxian to say it, but He Xianxian didn't mean to explain, and asked rhetorically, "A while ago, you were arguing with the eldest brother, right?" ”

"Hmm." Xu Xundao, "Because of the Han Nushi matter, the queen said that she didn't want to be Zhaorong because she didn't want to be martyred...... You also know the temperament of the eldest brother, and the one who hates being deceived the most comes over and talks about me. Didn't you see that I didn't go out for more than ten days? ”

"You're bold enough." He Xianxian stuck out his tongue, without the slightest surprise - sure enough, he already knew, "When the queen told me, I was very frightened. You are too bold to dare to intercede for her like this? If it were me, I wouldn't care, I was suffering myself, she was good, she wanted to get out in a few words, she really wanted to be beautiful. ”

This is a matter of personal character, Xu Xun didn't want to argue about this, but said, "Then what kind of illness are you pretending?" - The Queen, don't want to unite with you against me...... As for her? ”

"How not?" He Xianxian snorted and sneered, "Of course, I didn't say it so clearly, so I said that I think you are not suitable for raising a strong child now, and she has no heart to raise it herself, so she asked me if I would like to raise a strong child." If she wants, when the time is right, she will naturally share it with her eldest brother. ――It's in Kunning Palace, please leave me behind in the future. ”

Find an adoptive mother for your strong child?

Xu Xun was a little surprised, she seemed to have crossed something in her mind, but the idea of this fragment passed quickly, and when she wanted to catch it, she disappeared again. She could only listen to He Xianxian's chatter, "I thought in my heart at the time, good and dignified, Weishenme wants to replace Zhuang'er with someone to raise, isn't she going to kill you?" I asked her, weishenme would think so, she said that you offended the eldest brother, Zhuang'er followed you, I was afraid that I would be wronged......"

"And then did you say yes?" Xu Xun was also a little curious, "Or just refuse?" ”

"I said I had to think about it." He Xianxian said, "After I went back, I got sick, and I thought about it after a few months." As a result, yesterday she actually came to see me in person and told me the reason, saying that you deceived the eldest brother. What do you say that you haven't even raised a little bit, and now you are so wild that you have to go directly to the Qianqing Palace to complain, and you can't tolerate your younger brother...... But what about it? ”

Xu Xunzhen felt a fever on her face, and she nodded, "Yes...... Alas, I can't even say anything about this kid. ”

He Xianxian also stuck out his tongue, but he didn't delve into it, but smiled slyly, "Anyway, I said I don't believe it, just this matter, the eldest brother won't snub you...... Later, I told her again, if you really can't raise it, and she doesn't want to raise it, then I have to raise the strong child - Xiao Xun, you won't blame me, right? If you really fall, instead of cheapening others, I think, it's better to take it to me. ”

"What do I blame you for?" Xu Xunchuan smiled and said, "She is actually very boring when she says this, if the eldest brother doesn't let me raise a strong child, and she doesn't raise it, then I will directly arrange for you to come, why did I say this beforehand?" ”

"I think so, too." He Xianxian gradually calmed down from her excitement, "I guess she must be brewing bad water to deal with you...... Most likely they wanted to pull me into the water. So I didn't dare to say it to death, otherwise, it would be more troublesome for her to find Yuan Concubine and Li Jieyu's little goblins. ”

"And I have to thank you more?" Xu Xun asked with a smile.

"Our sisters, what do you say thank you?" He Xianxian laughed when he said it, "I was still thinking about this yesterday, and when I got up this morning, I heard that Mama Qian in your palace was rewarded with a red dress, so I let go of my heart?" Hurry up to you and talk to you, lest you be kept in the dark, if you are not careful, fall into her trap, it will also be troublesome. ”

"It's a good feeling." Xu Xun smiled, "Even if you came over so quickly, you weren't afraid of offending the queen?" It's easy to get along with her, don't make her hate you too, that's troublesome. ”

"What am I afraid of?" He Xianxian didn't care and said, "If she dares to treat me badly, I will dare to go to Qingning Palace to complain." She still has to be afraid that I will talk to my eldest brother, didn't she say that eldest brother hates others to lie to him the most? Hiding from my eldest brother, I arranged the fate of Zhuang'er, I want to see if she is weak-hearted. Besides, I really want to raise a strong child, and suddenly there is a happy event in your palace, and I don't want to come to your door to probe your tone and make a decision? ”

This also makes sense, anyway, He Xianxian looked like he knew it in his heart, Xu Xun didn't ask more, and the two said something about running around, He Xianxian was stunned when he heard it, and said straightly: "Our family has to be half as naughty as your family, and I will be satisfied." ”
