"Holy Lord, send a battle report from the border!" The voices of the guards were heard outside the temple.

"Bring it on!" Mu Jianyu's expression was solemn, and every move on the border made Mu Jianyu frightened. "Good!" Mu Jianyu's complexion turned from cloudy to sunny, and he praised again and again, "Xi'er lives up to expectations, good!" ”

"Holy Heaven!" The ministers congratulated.

Mu Jianyu's tense nerves finally relaxed a little, and when he looked around at this time, he only felt that everything was pleasing to the eye, and everywhere was satisfying, even the sun that had just come out of the first month, Mu Jianyu felt warm.

"! Empress! The second prince will be back soon! "Before the spring note arrived, the sound came first.

"What did you say?" The queen opened her eyes, and a pair of withered hands scratched in the air.

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince Xiangwang will soon return to the court!" Chun Jian held the queen's hand, with tears in her eyes, she knew that the queen had waited too long for a day, and her good body was also boiled down.

"Really? My Xi'er is coming back? The queen had tears in her eyes, and kept shaking her hand to confirm it again and again.

"The saint knows that you are worried about the second prince, and you haven't retired from the dynasty yet, so someone sent a letter." Chun Jian shook the queen's hand and comforted.

"Okay, okay, just come back." The queen finally smiled, she wiped the tears on her face, suddenly thought of something, and was suddenly stunned, "Spring note, is this palace particularly haggard now?" No, this palace can't let Xi'er see this appearance, quickly, quickly help this palace to get up and dress up for this palace! ”

"Yes." Seeing that the queen had cheered up again, he was indescribably happy in his heart, and hurriedly helped the queen to sit up, and ordered someone to bring water to scrub the queen.

"Is Boss Gu here?" Early in the morning, Xue Bowen's housekeeper Xue Chang knocked on the door of Xiyuan.

"Steward Xue, please come in, my master is drinking tea with Mother Xu in the front hall." The man inside the door let Xue Chang into the courtyard.

Xue Chang followed the man to the front hall door, Xue Chang clenched his fists and said loudly: "Boss Gu is early, Mother Xu is early."

"Steward Xue is early." Boss Gu greeted him at the door and greeted him, "Steward Xue, please come into the house and drink tea." Boss Gu turned sideways and let Xue Chang into the front hall, turned around and instructed the man, "Yuquan, serve tea to Xue Chang." ”

"Yes, Master." Yuquan Shili left.

"Steward Xue." Mother Xu is deeply blessed.

Xu's mother and Xue Chang sat down again with Boss Gu, and after Yuquan served tea, they closed the door of the front hall and left.

"Steward Xue came here today, what advice do you have?" Boss Gu looked at Xue Chang beside him and asked.

"Boss Gu, my wife would like to invite your children here to sing a church meeting in our house next month to congratulate our old lady on her birthday." Xue Chang took a sip of tea, hesitated, and explained his intention.

Xue Chang was a little uncertain in his heart, this boss Gu's troupe was once a troupe that had been personally given a plaque and rewarded by the saint, and it was different from the grass stage team outside, the dramas raised here were all prepared for the emperor, and he also came to Xiyuan to try his luck and see if there was a corner that could be quietly accommodating.

"This ......" Boss Gu groaned, and thought to himself in his heart, this courtyard is full of voices and figures prepared for the saint, and it is indeed inappropriate to use these horns to sing a church meeting for the old lady to celebrate her birthday, but then again, the emperor is far away, and the county officials might as well take care of it now, and if they don't sing this church, they are afraid of offending Xue Bowen. For a while, Boss Gu didn't know how to answer.

Boss Gu groaned, Xue Chang knew that this matter was no longer a joke, he got up and hugged his fists and said, "Since Boss Gu is embarrassed, I won't bother."

"Steward Xue stays." Boss Gu got up and kept Xue Chang. He didn't want to offend Xue Bowen yet.

Boss Gu's words made Xue Chang happy in his heart, stood still, and sat down again.

"Steward Xue, you also know what kind of corner I raise in this yard, I clearly see that I am their master, but no one can say, when they go to the Golden Palace, I will become a servant." Boss Gu smiled and said, "But Lord Xue is the parent official of Lingcheng, and it is our blessing to be able to congratulate the old lady on her birthday, I have a compromise method, I don't know if Steward Xue can accept it?"

"Boss Gu said to hear it." Xue Chang also knew Boss Gu's dilemma, if there was a way to compromise, it would be better.

"The girls of Linglong Pavilion are learning drama from me, and a few of them are still very good, and I will match a few younger apprentices to take the girls of Linglong Pavilion to sing this church meeting for the old lady, what does Steward Xue think?" Boss Gu rolled his eyes and said in a low voice.

"The girls of the Linglong Pavilion?" This suggestion was unexpected by Xue Chang, and after thinking about it, this method is not bad, thinking of this, Xue Chang changed his smile, and turned to Xu's mother and said, "Then it depends on whether Xu's mother is willing to appreciate her face." ”

"Steward Xue is tormented by the old body, these girls can sing to the old lady to celebrate her birthday, it is their blessing, thank you Steward Xue for looking at it, thank you Boss Gu for your love." Mother Xu got up and said.

"In that case, then ask Steward Xue to move to the backyard." Seeing that Xue Chang agreed, Boss Gu got up and led Xue Chang to the backyard.

"Yuluan, go and call the girls of Linglong Pavilion and your junior brothers who didn't give jade characters." Boss Gu set up a soft chair in the backyard, and after the three of them sat down, he called Yuluan.

After a while, a dozen girls and a dozen boys stood in front of the three of them and saluted in unison.

"Where's Begonia?" Mother Xu looked around, but didn't see Qiu Tang.

"Oh, Qiu Tang and Yuchen are practicing on the other side of the pond. Yuluan, go and call Yuchen and Qiutang. Boss Gu commanded.

"Yes." Yuluan turned and walked towards the pond.

"Yuchen, since Boss Gu shouted that you have something, then I will leave first. Qiu Tang, let's practice here today. Hua Chen shouted that Qiu Tang had collected the merit and said.

"Thank you, uncle." Qiu Tang Wanfu thanked him.

"I'll give you this whip. Practice well on weekdays. If it's inconvenient to take it with you, you can ask Yuchen to keep it for you. Hua Chen handed a pair of whips to Qiu Tang.

"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master. The disciples will practice diligently. Qiu Tang took the whip and said.

"Senior Brother Huachen, go quickly, Master Lu is asking people to look for you everywhere, where have you been?" As soon as Hua Chen returned to the door of the dart game, he bumped into the dart game boy who was about to run out.

"I'll go." Hua Chen smiled mischievously and ran inside.

"Master, Master, the apprentice is back." Hua Chen greeted Lu Pengju with a smile.

"Where have you been?" Lu Peng raised his face and looked at Hua Chen with beads of sweat on his face.

"I'm not going to buy you your favorite roast chicken!" Hua Chen took out the roast chicken he bought by the way from his arms and handed it to Lu Pengju.

Lu Pengju took the roast chicken, his face was straight, and he said, "You stinky boy is sensible!" Don't think I don't know what you're doing, okay, get down to business. Just now, Xu Sanye came and said that he wanted to invite a dart and send a box of jewels to the Holy City, and I wanted you and Hua Ren to follow your uncle on a trip. ”

"Well, Master, I'll go pack up and get ready to go." Huachen said with his fists clenched.

"Don't be busy," Lu Pengju called out to Hua Chen, "Since you bought the roast chicken, go and come back with two taels of wine, and I will ask your sister to cook a few more dishes in the evening and practice it for you." ”

"Okay." Huachen's voice fell, and he disappeared with a smoke.

"Master, there are still two sentences of drama that have not been taught, please Master and Mother Xu allow me to take Qiu Tang to finish learning, and then let her go back to Linglong Pavilion." After Xue Chang finished picking someone, Yuchen offered to let Qiu Tang stay for a while.

Boss Gu looked at Xu's mother and waved his hand to let Yuchen take Qiutang away.

"Mother Xu, this child Qiu Tang is becoming more and more like Yuchen now." Boss Gu looked at the backs of the two and smiled.

"Yuchen is a character who has sung for the saint, Qiu Tang can't compare, Boss Gu is in love." Mother Xu's face was full of pride, and she said modestly.

"The afterlife is terrifying." Boss Gu said with a smile and led Mother Xu to the front hall.

"Chun Jian, you go and ask, ask Xi'er if she is back." The queen, who was carefully dressed up, waited for a few days, but she still didn't see Mu Lingxi come to greet her, and she couldn't sit still.

"I heard...... I heard that His Royal Highness and the two generals of the Dragon and Tiger had already returned to the Holy City two days ago, so maybe the Holy Lord handed over other errands to the second prince......" Chun Jian dodged between his words.

"Don't you even have time to say hello?" The queen obviously didn't believe the words of the spring note, "No, this palace is going to ask the saint, ask him where he sent Xi'er again, why don't you let Xi'er come to me to say goodbye!" The queen struggled and was about to get up and rush out.

"Mother, mother, mother." Chun Jian fell to his knees and hugged the queen's legs.

"Chunjian, are you hiding something from this palace?" Chun Jian's behavior caused the queen to question, "Is it my Xi'er ......?"

"No, no, no, the second prince is fine, he's back, it's just...... It's just that I'm infected with the wind and cold, and now I'm recuperating in Liangyitai, and I'm sure to come when I'm well. Chun Jian lowered his eyes and did not dare to meet the queen's gaze.

"What you said is true?" The queen pinched her chin and stared at it with her eyes.

"Slaves don't dare to deceive their mothers!" I don't know whether I am anxious or afraid, my face is red, and my eyes are full of tears.

"Okay, then Hongu will wait." The queen let go of the spring paper and sat back on the soft couch lonely, her eyes losing color again.

"Niangniang is tired, the slave has prepared some pastries, Niangniang can use some." Seeing that the queen no longer wanted to go out, Chun Jian hurriedly quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, barely pulled out a smile, and tried to change the conversation.

She can't let the queen go out, this is the secret decree of the saint, the queen can go wherever she wants, but she can't go to the second prince. As for the reason, the saint didn't say it, and they didn't dare to ask about it. The saint said that if the queen saw the second prince, then there would be no living mouth left in the queen's palace.
