Chapter 245, Lian Xuan
"I have seen the Duchess of Dingguo, the prince, the wife of the prince, the queen said that the ladies of each family are old, and they sent someone to carry the soft Jiao over, and please rest assured that the mother will take care of the Duchess of the country."
The person who came was from the queen's palace, and the queen had a bad time this year, so her attitude was very good, and she put on a sympathetic posture, so she sent a soft and delicate to pick up the elders of each family, no matter what, everyone still appreciated it.
"Thank you, mother." Han Zhan and Su Xizhu saluted in the direction of the queen's bedroom at the same time, at this time, this kind of coquette, although Su Xizhu's status is higher, but in the end, he is a junior, and he must not be able to take his turn, so he gave Han Zhan a reassuring look and followed the palace maid who led the way.
"Xiaozhu." Su Xizhu looked back, it was Ji Wuwu, the other party saw her as if she saw a savior, just now the eldest princess was picked up by Jiaozi and left Ji Wuwu alone, although she was accompanied by her grandmother, Ji Wuwu was still a little weak-hearted, and now when she saw Su Xizhu, her heart was put in her stomach.
"By the way, why didn't you see Xiaoyun?"
Ji Wuwu looked for a long time and didn't see Xia Yun, it was a little strange, according to Xia Yun's identity, he should definitely be here at this time. Ji Wuwu has recently made up for various relationships, so he knows that the order of entering the palace to pay New Year's greetings in the palace is said.
"I'm afraid I was taken into the palace by the Queen Mother early in the morning." If it weren't for Jin Yi who had already married and had children, maybe the Queen Mother would have called Jin Yi into the palace for the New Year.
"Yes." Ji Wuwu nodded, Jin Yi was favored but the Jin Kingdom was famous, Ji Wuwu and Su Xizhu walked side by side and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Xiaozhu, are you feeling unwell?" Although Su Xizhu tried her best to cover it up, Ji Wuwu knew her, and Su Xizhu was obviously not energetic now.
"I have some fever and cold, don't worry, I've taken medicine." Su Xizhu smiled at Ji Wuwu, Ji Wuwu wanted to say something, but at this time, he had already arrived in the queen's palace, and Ji Wuwu could only shut up.
Looking at the young lady of the Wei family, the wife of the prince of Dingguo, many people did not think it was strange, after all, it was not a day since Han Shizi and Wei Gongzi had a good relationship, so there was nothing wrong with their wife's friendship.
The smile on Princess Minglan was a little frozen when she saw Su Xizhu come in, she unconsciously touched her stomach, and suddenly felt a lot better.
Although Su Xizhu's head was a little heavy, she still felt a malicious gaze when she first entered the queen's palace, and when she wanted to take a closer look, she found that the other party no longer looked at her, Su Xizhu endured and cheered up, after all, the queen didn't have any good intentions for herself.
"Look, our two most outstanding sons in Shengjing have married lovely people, Mrs. Dingguo Gongzi and Mrs. Wei Shao are both good-looking, especially Mrs. Dingguo Gongshizi, who deserves to be the first beauty in Shengjing."
Su Xizhu and Ji Wuwu asked the queen to ask for peace, and the queen smiled and joked, but they said that Su Xizhu and Ji Wuwu had empty appearances and were in a high position, especially since one of them was a stepfamily and the other was from a civilian background, and they could marry to the two top families in Shengjing, and the sour words about them never stopped.
"Thank you Niangniang for the compliment, Mrs. Wei and I both said that although we are women, we must also serve the country like them, Mrs. Wei and I have not dared to slack off, and now we are praised by Mrs. Wei, Mrs. Wei and I are really grateful."
After Su Xizhu finished speaking, she also took out a handkerchief to symbolically wipe the non-existent tears in the corners of her eyes, Ji Wuwu did the same, although she didn't know why.
The smile on the queen's face was a little stiff, she said that Su Xizhu and Ji Wuwu were on the throne by color, and Su Xizhu pulled a bunch of them, implying that she and Ji Wuwu were both talented people or participants in the Three Kingdoms Exchange Conference, if they were only color, wouldn't it be said that the emperor would not choose people?
Now the queen's palace is full of young ladies from the top wealthy families in Shengjing, they have studied in the royal academy before, and some have participated in the original Yan country competition, and they are deeply impressed by this little girl who was still a chubby little girl at the beginning, and now she has become a big beauty.
"Niangniang, Mrs. Dingguo is notoriously sharp-toothed, don't make fun of her."
Minglan joked next to the princess with a smile, it seemed that she was giving Su Xizhu a step, but in fact she was saying that Su Xizhu had sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, which made the lady next to her a little incomprehensible, it stands to reason that Princess Lan is Su Xizhu's cousin-in-law, even if she is close to the queen, she shouldn't talk at this time.
"Princess, how can you tell the queen what you said in private, the concubine is embarrassed." Su Xizhu twisted it after speaking, anyway, she is beautiful, and she is beautiful in all her actions.
Princess Minglan smiled, looking at Su Xizhu's eyes a little cold, she said that Su Xizhu had sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and Su Xizhu said that she loved arranging people in private, and it was not against her will to detain such a person for herself, and Su Xizhu didn't look at what she said wrong.
The people present looked at all this and had a higher opinion of Su Xizhu, it is not something that ordinary people can do to make the queen and princess suffer one after another and make them have no way to get angry, and they can't help but look at the first seat of the concubine, and feel that it is a good thing that there is such a future housewife in the Dingguo Mansion.
"Yo, Minglan, aren't you the cousin-in-law of the prince of Dingguo? Why do you feel like you don't have a good relationship? Concubine An opened her mouth with bad intentions.
Many people here faintly heard that the Marquis of Changping Mansion and the Marquis of Annan Mansion were intent on kissing each other, but later Su Xizhu married to the Dingguo Mansion, and Zhong Lishu married Princess Minglan Princess, and everyone gradually forgot about it.
"Concubine An joked to me, I and Mrs. Dingguo Gongzi are both classmates and relatives, where can I have a bad relationship? Cousin Su, you said yes, right? ”
"What my cousin-in-law said is that the concubine should have misunderstood, and my cousin-in-law is really praising me." Su Xizhu did not object, after all, now Princess Minglan represents the Changping Marquis Mansion.
"Really?" An Guifei smiled, she was in no mood to hold on to this during the New Year, but she was just talking, and she didn't react at all when she saw Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu looked at Su Xizhu, who was able to deal with good intentions or malicious words, and was satisfied, her younger brother is really not a person who looks at faces, and now it seems that marrying Su Xizhu's stepfamily is much better than others.
Su Xizhu not only had to deal with her, but also helped Ji Wuwu, fortunately, Ji Wuwu knew his shortcomings, so he kept a polite coldness, pretending to be an ice beauty, and then with Su Xizhu's help, until the Queen Mother summoned him, there was no problem, Ji Wuwu was really relieved.
When the queen took the harem concubines and the wife to the queen mother's palace, the queen mother was holding Xia Yun's twins and smiling kindly, different from the open guns and hidden arrows in the queen's palace, the queen mother's palace was not harmonious, everyone praised Xia Yun for being blessed, the two children were cute, etc., and the queen mother couldn't close her mouth.
The Queen Mother is really happy, she is the biological mother of Emperor Sheng He, and she doesn't like to meddle in the harem, she is very respected by Emperor Sheng He, the Queen Mother is not sad and pounces on Jin Yi, and now Jin Yi gave birth to two big fat boys to her, and the Queen Mother feels that she can live for several more decades.
Xia Yun looked at the Queen Mother with Ji Wuwu's eyes and said, "Grandmother, the eldest and youngest are a little sleepy, I'll take them to the back." ”
"Okay, don't be tired of the precious great-grandson of the mourning family." The Queen Mother saw that the eldest and youngest obedients did close their eyes and hurriedly let people take them down.
"Then Grandma, I'll go to the back with Xiaozhu and Wuwu, okay? They happened to be chatting with me. ”
"What are you talking about, the wife of the prince of Dingguo and the daughter-in-law of Cheng Jin? Oh, Xiaoyi said that you are good friends with them, let them come forward and show the mourning family. ”
Su Xizhu and Ji Wuwu came out to salute, because the Queen Mother has elders from various families here, so Su Xizhu and Ji Wuwu, who are juniors, are with their mother-in-law, and now they are called out by the Queen Mother, and the two salute together.
"Okay, they're all good boys." When the Queen Mother is old, she likes festive girls, Su Xizhu is bright and beautiful, and Ji Wuwu is also heroic, all of which are very pleasing to the elderly.
After the Queen Mother rewarded Su Xizhu and Ji Wuwu, she let them follow Xia Yun, and the remaining young ladies were envious, after all, even Princess Jin did not have Xia Yun face in the Queen Mother.
Huo Honglian also wanted to go to the back, but unfortunately she couldn't, as the only person in the Huo family in Shengjing, the Queen Mother took her to the palace early in the morning, and it was better to watch the child with Xia Yun before, but now in the face of the various concerns of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother and others, Huo Honglian felt bitter.
The old lady Qi and the Zhang family in the Hou Mansion of Annan looked at the infinite scenery Su Xizhu with different thoughts, especially when someone congratulated them on teaching their daughter, which made the old lady Qi and the Zhang family unable to speak, so they could only try to keep smiling.
"You're still amazing." There is a special place for Xia Yun to rest in the Queen Mother's Palace, Su Xizhu didn't touch the two children because she was sick, so she took out some mint pills and leaned on the recliner to feel a lot more energetic.
"Xiaozhu, why are you sick for the New Year? Han Baozhu also fell ill today, did something happen? ”
Xia Yun looked at Su Xizhu worriedly, but in the Empress Dowager's Palace, she couldn't ask Su Xizhu for a doctor, but fortunately, Su Xizhu said that she had already drunk the medicine, so she could only let Su Xizhu hug a few more soup women.
"Han Baozhu accidentally fell into the water, I saved her." Although he knew that Xia Yun and Ji Wuwu were not people who talked much, after all, they were in the palace, and Su Xizhu couldn't say much.
Although Xia Yun and Ji Wuwu knew that something might be wrong, they also knew that now was not the time to talk about it, so let Su Xizhu take a break and attend the dinner party in the evening.
Fortunately, Su Xizhu is only a little weak now and looks like there is no big deal, Xia Yun and Ji Wuwu are a lot more relieved, Su Xizhu is also really tired, after all, he worked hard to deal with all kinds of people just now, so he fell asleep quickly, but after all, it was in the palace, and Su Xizhu did not sleep peacefully.
