9. Stand aside like a joke on your own
The Queen Mother obviously wanted to embarrass Shen Muxiu, but Shen Muxiu really didn't greet her as soon as she entered the door, no one could fault this.
Chun Yuxi suppressed the anger in his heart, and pulled Shen Muxiu to take the initiative to relieve him, "Queen Mother, isn't this pestering you as soon as you enter the door, how can the concubine have the opportunity to salute you, don't you admit your mistake to the queen mother." ”
Shen Muxiu saluted as kindly, "Minister, I've seen the Queen Mother." ”
Chun Yuxi tugged at his sleeve, "You are stupid, you should call your mother, and you should also call yourself a son-in-law, brother Huang, do you say yes." ”
Emperor Yongjing nodded in agreement, and Shen Muxiu continued to speak, "Erchen, I have seen the queen mother, but it is the son-in-law who is dull and makes the queen mother unhappy, and the queen mother forgives her sins." ”
The Queen Mother wanted to say something, but Chun Yuxi had already taken the lead to speak, "Oh, what are you doing so worried, the queen mother is fine, you hurry up, you are not in good health, the queen mother must be reluctant to blame you." ”
The Queen Mother chuckled, "Yes, you kid is too sincere, hurry up." ”
Emperor Yongjing was keenly aware of the changes in Chun Yuxi, or her attitude towards the Queen Mother, which was not as close as before, with some estrangement, and looked at Xuan Yi who followed behind the Queen Mother, Emperor Yongjing had a bottom in his heart, no matter who returned to Ningri, his family brought outsiders over, and his heart was unhappy.
Maybe Shen Muxiu didn't find out about it himself, but Xuan Yi noticed that from beginning to end, the eldest princess never put an identity shelf on him, and he was always the most equal title.
When she smiled at him, there was joy in her eyes that she didn't even notice, no pretense, and when she approached him, her movements were unpretentious, without any pretense.
It's not that Xuan Yi has never seen such an eldest princess, but those are just for the saint and to others, she has always been arrogant and indifferent, and she is not pretending.
Xuan Yi's face was obscure, he still underestimated the eldest princess's concern for Shen Muxiu, she was special to him, never mentioning it, but really, on weekdays.
Then, Shen Muxiu, you must not stay.
Xuan Yi spoke at the right time, so that everyone could see his existence, "Queen Mother, today is the day when the eldest princess returns to Ningning, and there is something wrong with the minister here." ”
When the queen mother heard the voice, she shook her head indifferently, "It's okay, it's okay, you're not an outsider, the mourning family wanted to match you and Xi'er before, but unfortunately the emperor moved too fast, and when the mourning family knew, he had already given Xi'er a marriage, otherwise, you, the son-in-law, the mourning family must be decided." ”
Chun Yuxi had a calm face, what did the Queen Mother mean by saying this in front of Shen Muxiu, "Queen Mother, why mention the previous things, besides, the son's relationship with Xuanyi is just a childhood friendship, and the Queen Mother's words should be misunderstood." ”
The Queen Mother seemed to have just reacted that Shen Muxiu was still there, and it was really not good to say this, "It's the mourning family who is confused, the mourning family always thinks that you are special to Xuanyi, and the queen mother is talking nonsense, Xi'er won't be angry with the queen mother." ”
Chun Yuxi took a deep breath and pretended not to care, "How could Erchen be angry with his mother." ”
Seeing this, Xuan Yi's heart sank, if he couldn't let Shen Muxiu misunderstand this time, it would be even more difficult to disassemble the two of them next time.
"The minister just hopes that the eldest princess can find a lover, but he doesn't want to trouble the eldest princess, if the existence of the minister makes it difficult for the eldest princess, the minister invites himself to go to the frontier."
Chun Yuxi's heart tightened, she owed Xuan Yi a life in her previous life, if the other party went to the frontier because of herself in this life, what she owed him would really be unrepaid.
"This palace doesn't mean that, Xuan Yi, if you really don't want to embarrass this palace, don't mention leaving in the future."
I owe you my life, and I will protect you to repay the kindness, as for the side, between you and me, it has never been possible.
Xuan Yi glanced at Shen Muxiu and deliberately opened his mouth, "The minister will not leave." ”
Chun Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Xuan Yi didn't leave here, she would always be able to protect his life.
"That's good."
Shen Muxiu lowered his eyes, the blood on his face faded in an instant, his pale lips were dry and cracked, and the little hope that had just risen because of Chun Yuxi's maintenance faded cleanly.
He fell into the ice cave alone, and the people above him, before closing the only hole, sprinkled a bunch of ice picks, and the two of them were so affectionate that they stood by like a joke.
