Feng Wuxian felt a sharp pang in his heart, with his understanding of his mother, how could he not hear the chill in his words, however, he was bound to not be able to answer directly. "Uncle is a difficult person to comment, sometimes he can see the situation clearly, and sometimes he can't help but be cautious and self-serving, but I think he is barely qualified as a minister. Does the Queen Mother think there is something wrong with her uncle? Feng Wuxian asked in retreat.

Xiao shook his head helplessly, "In the generation of the mourning family, he is the only male in the Xiao family's lineage, so whether it is a man or others, he can only be handed over to him alone." Now the mourning family feels that he is becoming more and more confused, not to mention that none of his sons are talented, even he himself is easy to be deceived. Alas, is it difficult for the Xiao family to have outstanding talents? A slight gloom appeared on her face, and then she seemed to remember something, so she asked thoughtfully, "Emperor, Xiao Yunchao entered the palace to ask for peace to the mourning family, and revealed in his words that he had been to see Wu Xi, you should already know about this matter?" ”

Feng Wuxian was stunned for a moment, then embarrassed, but more shocked. Listening to her mother's meaning, she seemed to be deeply dissatisfied with this, and then thinking about the previous words, it seemed that she had some intention of replacing the head of the Xiao family. Thinking of this, he thought about He Weitao's words that day, and smiled disapprovingly: "I also heard from He Weitao by accident, my uncle is probably thinking about his nephew's feelings, but others have a lot of worries, and I will not remember this little thing." However, my uncle was still too cautious to do such a high-profile thing at such an extraordinary time, but fortunately, Lord He found out that if someone else grabbed the handle. It's going to be hard for me to deal with. He gave a wry smile of helplessness, but the implication in his words was unmistakable. The mourning family knows what you mean, but it's a pity. There are too few outstanding talents in the Xiao family, but He Weitao is quite acquainted. "Xiao obviously doesn't think there's anything wrong with He Weitao's whistleblowing." This person can be promoted, he has been in the position of the criminal department for many years, and even the first emperor has repeatedly praised his vision and means, he is indeed a rare talent, and the emperor can rely on it a lot. As for Xiao Yunchao...... "She muttered for a long time. Fang Cai smiled to himself, "The emperor should have his own thoughts, and the mourning family doesn't need to say much." In short, the emperor is in control. However, there are some characters in the Xiao family's sideline, and the mourning family themselves don't know much, the emperor might as well visit it, you must know that there are laws in this dynasty, and the sons and daughters of the nobles cannot attack the lord, and they should also prepare for the future of the Xiao family. ”

Wind Without a Trace nodded understandingly. The mother and son discussed for a while before he took his leave and left. When Rouping came in, she saw that the master seemed to be a little stunned, and hurriedly diverted the words with an opportunity. Although she avoided it on the first two occasions. But I still vaguely sensed something, but I didn't dare to interject. Although she has always been the master's arm, she has not interfered in everything, otherwise she would have lost her life a long time ago. However. This time, Xiao Shi did not hide from Rouping.

"Rouping, you go to your cousin Xiao Chonghua tomorrow to see if there are outstanding talents among those children." Xiao Shi said thoughtfully, "The mourning family has always paid little attention to their affairs, and they have been neglected for a long time. Moreover, although they have declined, they are also members of the Xiao family. If there is a good way among the daughters, you can also pay attention to it, there is no Xiao family around the emperor to watch, and the mourning family is not at ease. ”

Rouping hurriedly agreed, but she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and couldn't help but think about the future momentum in the palace. She really doesn't have any interest in getting married, firstly, she is an old man, and secondly, she has been by the Xiao family for a long time, although she is only a palace maid, the authority she enjoys is far better than ordinary orders, so she also has a deep understanding of playing with power.

Queen Hai Ruoxin was looking at the two Mongolian county lords in front of her at this time, but she was very disappreciative in her heart. Although the county lord of Yana was born brightly, he was obviously just a little girl who didn't know the difficulties of the world, so he didn't have to be afraid. On the contrary, the county lord Mingxiu next to him doesn't seem to be an ordinary character, and there seem to be a lot of thoughts and secrets hidden in the dark pupils. Earlier, Hai Ruoxin passed the Empress Dowager's decree to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites as the empress, claiming that the first emperor had agreed to the two family affairs in Mongolia when he was alive, so even though he was still in the three-year mourning period, the ceremony of accepting concubines was still as usual, but the regulations were much more frugal.

According to the arrangement, the wedding ceremony of the two county lords was scheduled to be held six days ago and three days before respectively. In order to express the meaning of Han Mengyong's friendship, their title rank is also higher than that of ordinary women who enter the palace in the draft. The title of the county lord of Yana is Rong Concubine, who lives in Yongning Palace; The title of the lord of Mingxiu is Zhen Concubine, who lives in Zhaoning Palace. For the concubines who are not the old people of the East Palace and have no children, their rank is enough to make many people envious, after all, this is just the beginning. However, it was about the time when Feng Wuxian was newly busy with state affairs, except for the day when he performed the concubine ceremony, and he never came back again. Therefore, when they met the queen on this day, their faces were not very good-looking.

Hai Ruoxin ordered the two of them to sit down, but she casually covered the tea foam in the teacup with her cup, tasted it gently, and then said: "You are all Mongolian noblewomen, your identity is extraordinary, and the rules of the palace have long been taught by those servants of the Internal Affairs Office, and the palace is no longer verbose." She glanced up at the two of them, and said with a smile, "Although the palace is lonely, it is not such a place without affection, the two younger sisters are from the grassland, and they should be lively people on weekdays, and they don't have to be blindly restrained." Several concubines in the harem are of the same age, and they move around a lot when they are free, and they are always confined in the house. ”

Mingxiu hurriedly bowed and replied: "Thank you for the queen's mother's reminder, the concubine has newly entered the palace, if there is anything inappropriate, please teach the mother." Before the concubines left, their father had taught them to abide by the etiquette system and not to exceed them, but now they are relieved to get the queen's will. ”

Yana is an innocent girl, and her palace career in the past few days has really made her depressed. "Thank you for mentioning the queen, I have long felt that this palace is too deserted." She probably sensed that there was something wrong with the title just now, and hurriedly made up for it, "Ah, the queen forgives her sins, and the concubine forgot the rules just now." She lowered her head again, her face full of chagrin, "They have taught me many times, but I still can't remember it. She didn't expect that she would say the wrong thing in the next sentence.

Hai Ruoxin couldn't help but smile, waved her hand to signal Yana to sit beside her, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "You look like you are similar to the early years of this palace, looking at you, it is like looking in a mirror." The rules in the palace are many self-evident, if you can't learn it, learn it slowly, if someone dares to laugh at you, just tell the palace that it is. "Years of career as the prince and concubine and the crown princess have almost made Hai Ruoxin lose her free and casual temperament back then, and now she naturally feels kind when she sees Yana acting like this. She also knew about this woman's temperament from the wind without a trace, so her precautionary heart was naturally not so strong.

Of course, Mingxiu didn't feel good when she saw it in her heart, but she was not the kind of person who had no heart like Yana, even if she was unhappy, she didn't dare to show her face, but instead helped: "When the concubine and Yana's sister entered Beijing together, they said that she was born with a good temperament, not like others who hid it, and now she is really right about the queen's spleen and stomach." She is the one who likes to hunt on horseback the most, but now she has no chance in the palace. The queen didn't know that among the nobles of the Kurten Ministry, Yana's sister was quite superb in riding and archery. ”

Hai Ruoxin couldn't help but be interested, and Yana's face suddenly flashed with a look of shyness, but she still raised her head proudly. "Of course, which Mongolian daughter can't ride and shoot, but unfortunately there is no chance now." Her expression only dimmed for a moment before turning back to joy, "Queen Mother, I heard that every year in autumn, the emperor will take people to Mulan to hunt, and then meet the Mongolian kings, I wonder if he can take us there?" ”

Hai Ruoxin was stunned for a moment, and only after a long time did she smile and said: "That's the men's messenger, so naturally there is no reason to bring concubines." Seeing Yana's disappointment, she laughed again, "Although the rules are like this, but you have served the emperor well, and there may be exceptions." One sentence made Yana's face flush, and there was another burst of laughter in the room.

After a while, all the palace concubines arrived, and the two foreign women naturally gathered a lot of attention. Yana looked at the women in front of her without fear, and there was a little surprise in her eyes. Although she did not stay in the Kurten Department for a long time, she was still known as a pearl for her outstanding glory. Now that he sees that these women's complexions are not inferior to his own, how can he suppress his emotions? In the previous visits, she had resigned after asking for peace in a superficial manner, and she had paid attention to others, so this time she couldn't help but glance at the women with curiosity.

"It's a coincidence that everyone is here today, it's really rare." Hai Ruolan pursed her lips and smiled, now her temperament is much more cheerful, and there is also a daughter Chenghuan under her knees, so her life is quite comfortable. "The two younger sisters are Mongolian noblewomen, but they look no different from the Central Plains, which makes people feel very amiable."

Mingxiu naturally understood the other party's kindness, and hurriedly thanked: "Sister Lan has a good reputation, I am just an ordinary woman, how can I compare to the appearance of your sisters?" But Yana is the real pearl of the grassland, and I just make up the numbers. Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Yana, and it was very strange to see this girl who had just met people. Don't listen to Sister Mingxiu's nonsense, how can Yana be as beautiful as you? Seeing that the women were still staring intently, she looked a little helpless, "Sisters, you have bypassed me!" ”

There was a burst of laughter in the room, but everyone knew that the years in the deep palace were the most urging to get old, and even if a bright woman like Yana might end up dying the city. Queen Hai Ruoxin sighed softly, she is not the same, youth is fleeting, she is no longer the girl she was back then. Lingyun Zhiwei Without a Trace Volume 9 Jiangshan Chapter 8 Pearl
