"Hmph, then you don't need to say, don't think about hiding anything from me, Jingcong, you can't hide it from me." Yan Zixi squinted the corners of her eyes proudly, and said with a smile in her mouth.

"Xi'er, how can my husband hide something from you! We are husband and wife, shouldn't husband and wife be honest with each other? Xiao Jingcong gently kissed Yan Zixi's forehead and replied with a doting expression.

Yan Zixi nodded, and then responded satisfactorily: "It's about the same." Okay, it's time to get up, and I have to go and say hello to my mother. With that, Yan Zixi stretched her waist and reluctantly got out of the quilt.

Hearing that Yan Zixi was going to say hello to Mrs. Xiao, Xiao Jingcong seemed to have thought of something, and asked, "Xi'er, the concubine didn't embarrass you during this time, right?" ”

Mrs. Xiao has always been very targeted at Yan Zixi, even if she has been married into the General's Mansion for so long, she still hasn't given her any good looks. Xiao Jingcong is busy with affairs on weekdays, and she doesn't have a chance to ask about it, but when Yan Zixi mentioned it, Xiao Jingcong opened her mouth to ask.

Hearing Xiao Jingcong's question, Yan Zixi twisted her eyebrows and sighed leisurely, "Alas, what else?" Anyway, you've always been indifferent to me, and you're not embarrassed......"

Yan Zixi rolled her eyes, as if she wanted to think that someone from the queen had always come to see her recently, so she said to Xiao Jingcong again: "By the way, Jingcong, the queen has been sending people to talk to the concubine recently, and I don't know why, I am worried that the queen has never given up on letting you take a concubine, so I talked to Mrs. Xiao directly......

Xiao Jingcong also frowned slightly when she heard this, and asked with some disbelief: "No!" The last time I entered the palace with my husband and you, I made it very clear in front of the queen mother, I would never take a concubine, is the queen still not dead hearted......" Xiao Jingcong couldn't help but be suspicious, after all, the queen mother always sent people to the general's mansion to talk to Mrs. Xiao, no matter how you look at it, this move is very suspicious.

Xiao Jingcong thought for a while, and then said to Yan Zixi: "That's it, Xi'er, I'll say hello to the concubine with you for my husband later, and by the way, ask what the concubine said when she met with the queen's mother recently." ”

"Oh, but you're still injured, don't you have to rest at home?" Compared with this, Yan Zixi was more worried about Xiao Jingcong's injury.

Xiao Jingcong waved his hand and said with a nonchalant expression: "Xi'er, I'm fine, after you treated me yesterday, I'm almost fine, there's nothing serious." ”

"That's good, that's good...... I just don't know who sent the killer to kill you, Jingcong, you must not take it lightly, and the other party is likely to be the second prince, I am worried about ......" Yan Zixi wanted to speak and stopped, Xiao Jingcong hurriedly comforted, "It's okay, Xi'er, don't worry, you have your own sense of proportion for your husband." ”

Yan Zixi nodded, then stopped answering, called the maid Xiaomei, and began to groom herself.

After Yan Zixi cleaned up, she went to Mrs. Xiao's room with Xiao Jingcong, and stood respectfully outside the door to ask for instructions.

After a while, the door of the house was pushed open by Mama Rong, and Mama Rong greeted Yan Zixi and Xiao Jingcong into the room.

After entering, Mrs. Xiao had just gotten up, and was sitting in front of the dresser at the moment dressing up, Xiao Jingcong took a step forward, knelt down and saluted.

"Son-in-law Xiao Jingcong greets his mother!"

"Concubine Yan Zixi greets her mother!"

When Mrs. Xiao saw that Xiao Jingcong had also come to greet her, there was a rare hint of joy on her old face, "Cong'er is really rare today!" I still remember my old mother, who came to greet me. ”

"Mother, you are laughing, you have always been in the heart of the son, and the son never dares to forget it." Xiao Jingcong said respectfully when he heard this.

Mrs. Xiao smiled slightly, turned around, and raised her hand at the two of them, "Okay, you two get up and talk!" ”

Xiao Jingcong helped Yan Zixi to stand up from the ground together, and then came to Mrs. Xiao, and asked with a smile: "Mother, the child has been busy with affairs recently, and he has never had time to see his mother, so the mother concubine shouldn't be blamed, right?" ”

"My son has a heart, this palace knows that you are busy with affairs, and you didn't come to greet me, and this palace can understand, not to mention that there is not this good daughter-in-law who came to greet me?" When Mrs. Xiao mentioned the words "good daughter-in-law", she deliberately accentuated her tone, yin and yang weird, I don't know whether she was praising or derogating.

Saying that, Mrs. Xiao seemed to remember something, and said with a smile in her mouth: "By the way, Jing Cong, recently, the queen mother told the palace about a family matter, do you say that the palace agrees or not?" ”

Here it comes! Twenty fifty thousand

When Yan Zixi heard this, she was shocked in her heart, thinking that they hadn't asked any questions yet, but this Mrs. Xiao had spoken out first.

But it's okay to save Xiao Jingcong from talking there.

Yan Zixi didn't dare to say more, and after turning her head to look at Xiao Jingcong, she lowered her head and waited beside her obediently.

At this time, Xiao Jingcong deliberately showed a hint of surprise on her face, and immediately said to Mrs. Xiao: "Oh, there is such a thing?!" ”

"Why, Cong'er, don't you know?" Mrs. Xiao's face also showed suspicion, and she asked with some puzzlement.

Xiao Jingcong arched her hand, and continued to answer: "Back to the mother, don't hide it, the queen mother summoned the child and Xi'er into the palace a few days ago, and she has already mentioned this matter to us. ”

"Really? So how did you reply to the Queen? Mrs. Xiao's eyes burned, and her mouth asked.

"Back to the mother, the child refused on the spot." Xiao Jingcong didn't hesitate, and didn't want to hide anything, so she told the truth directly.

As soon as Xiao Jingcong's words fell, Mrs. Xiao's face changed in anger, pointed at Xiao Jingcong, and kept shouting there: "Cong'er, you are so confused!" Then the queen mother told you about the family matter, how could you refuse on the spot? ”

"Mother, the queen mother proposed to take a concubine for the child, but the child just married Xi'er, and it is less than three months before she will marry another concubine, if this matter spreads, what will outsiders think?" Xiao Jingcong hurriedly explained, but Mrs. Xiao didn't listen at all.

"What outsiders think is their business! Why do we need to look at them when we do things in the General's Mansion? What's more, as a dignified peerless general, and the young prince of the General's Mansion, what's wrong with marrying another concubine? ”

Xiao Jingcong argued with reason, and replied: "Mother, you also know that the child's heart is all on Xi'er's body, how can she marry another woman?" Not to mention, that woman is still the Qianqian County Lord of King Jing's Mansion! ”

"What's wrong with Qianqian? Isn't Qianqian a thousand times better than the current Princess Xiao? When you insisted on marrying Yan Zixi, I was already against it, but do you listen? In the end, he even moved out of the holy decree. Okay, now my mother asked you to marry this woman, and now I let you take a concubine, you don't want to, are you going to be sincerely angry with your mother?! ”

Mrs. Xiao pointed to Xiao Jingcong's head and scolded out of breath.

Mama Rong outside the house watched this good show, she had already covered her mouth and snickered there, Yan Zixi also kept her head down, and she didn't dare to stand up and squeak at all, in front of this mother-in-law, Yan Zixi was like a mouse meeting a cat, there was no way at all, and she was scared to death, so she could only hope for Xiao Jingcong.

Xiao Jingcong also had a calm face at the moment, and said again: "Mother, the meaning of this matter is already very clear, no matter how many times you ask, I will not change my mind, so you don't have to continue to say anything to the queen, the child will not agree to this family matter no matter what." ”

"Cong'er, are you talking to me? Is that what you say to your mother? When Mrs. Xiao heard Xiao Jingcong's words, she became more and more annoyed, her chest rose and fell with anger, her cheeks were even more swaying, and she was about to faint.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingcong hurriedly ran over and helped Mrs. Xiao, and asked with concern: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

"What's wrong? It's not that I'm angry with you, an unfilial son! Are you going to be so angry with me today? What's wrong with Qianqian, you hate her so much? You listened to the advice of your mother, agreed to the queen's mother, and agreed to this marriage, and your mother will never ask more questions in the future......"

Before Mrs. Xiao finished speaking, she was rejected by Xiao Jingcong, "Mother, the child can promise you anything, but the child can't do it alone." Qianqian, I have always treated her as my own sister, and I will never marry him......"

"Qianqian can't do it, so there are other candidates, right? For example, Tang Guogong's daughter...... The prime minister's daughter ......" Mrs. Xiao said several candidates in his mind one after another, but they were all vetoed by Xiao Jingcong.

"Mother, don't you still understand? The child doesn't want to take a concubine, not because of the candidate, but because the child really doesn't want to take a concubine, and really doesn't want to marry another woman back. I have Xi'er, and I have no regrets in this life! ”

As soon as Xiao Jingcong's words came out, not only Mrs. Xiao was stunned, but even Yan Zixi, who had been listening to the sidelines, trembled all over.

Although Yan Zixi had already known Xiao Jingcong's intentions, it should be the first time for Xiao Jingcong to reveal his intentions in front of Mrs. Xiao so bluntly.

When he said this, it was considered to have broken Mrs. Xiao's idea of taking a concubine for Xiao Jingcong, Yan Zixi was naturally very happy, but on the other hand, it also showed that Xiao Jingcong and her mother had turned their faces again, and it was because of his business...... In this way, Mrs. Xiao will definitely hate herself more and more, feeling that she is a vixen, and she is fascinated by Xiao Jingcong......
