Without a Trace, Volume VII, Chapter VI, Reporting

、、、、、、、

Queen Xiao sat on the throne with great grace, smiling and groaning in the face of the concubines kneeling down to say goodbye. These days, although some people are confused because of the wind leaving Beijing without a trace, but after all, the Xiao family is a queen who has been officially canonized, and Feng Wuyan, who has not yet obtained the title of prince, is naturally not as majestic as the Xiao family, so there is an endless stream of many women who come and go to Kunning Palace. It's just that Xiao Yunchao is not in the capital, and there are fewer nobles in Jiaofang, but He Weitao's wife has come several times.

It's the same today, after all the concubines and concubines have retired, several noblewomen dressed up in beautiful clothes have come to the scene. Lingyun Fadu is still generous to the inner palace, and the concubines with status can receive their own wives from time to time, while the queen is more free, as long as the lady is allowed, she has always had no scruples about entering and leaving Kunning Palace. Now that the Xiao family is on the throne of the new queen, when the holy family is in its prime, which noble lady dares not to come to the throne? However, among today's group of women, there is a woman in relatively simple clothes.

Although Xiao Shi was a well-informed person, he still couldn't help but look at her twice, and when he saw that the woman who looked like a young woman was following closely behind Mrs. He, Xue, he couldn't help but guess a few points. After several ladies bowed their heads, they stood respectfully and stood with their hands bowed. The Xue family is the first-class lady of Qinfeng, and her identity is the most respectful, so she naturally stands in front. I saw her smile and flattery: "I haven't seen the queen for a few days, but I see that you are more and more blessed, see that the minions of this Kunning Palace are also better trained than others, no wonder the entire harem is strict under your control, and even the emperor has saved a lot of heart." "Although the Xue family was born in a poor family, after marrying He Weitao, she has a wide range of friends, plus she wants not to lose her husband's face. Therefore, when it comes to talking, everyone is full of style. Several other ladies also echoed and said yes, and even praised Xiao Shi as a rare virtuous queen in ancient and modern times.

Although she thinks that her beauty overwhelms all the concubines in the harem, what Xiao likes most is that others praise her talent. At this moment, Xue's words were in the middle of her heart, and she couldn't help but feel better. "Look. Mrs. He's mouth is really a flatterer, and she is stacked on the ground when she welcomes her, and if she doesn't pay attention to this palace, she will really bluff her. Say, "Who is the one behind you?" Is it your mother's sister? ”

Seeing that the queen asked about him, Xue Shi hurriedly pulled the young woman behind him over and instructed her to salute Xiao again. "Qi Yu Niangniang, the concubine can't help her stalking, and she can only bring the world. Presumably you also know that none of those men outside are three wives and four concubines, this is the third aunt Taiwei of the outer son, and the emperor has sealed the Gongren. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, the other noblewomen couldn't help but show different colors, and the concubines of those husbands at home were favored again on weekdays. There are also few opportunities to get on the stage. The Xue family's move today is undoubtedly a taboo, how can there be any reason to bring a concubine over when he visits the queen. However, some people showed a thoughtful look, and the court's edict has always been only given to the wife. This concubine can also get a flattering title, presumably either someone in her mother's family or she has raised a good son.

I saw that the Wei family advanced and retreated in a measured manner, but it was quite orderly, and after the queen Xiao called up, Yingying stood up. His demeanor was extremely respectful. Xiao Shi saw that her head and face clothes were all in accordance with the etiquette system, and there was no borrowing at all, and he couldn't help but feel good in his heart. She had also heard Feng Wuxian mention Wei Wenlong, so as soon as she heard Xue talk about this woman's surname, she immediately understood her origin. Xiao Shi pitied her for being just a small girl, and it was not easy to have this kind of style, so he asked her a few words lightly, but he didn't expect that Wei was neither humble nor arrogant, and his answers were like streams, but he was a little stronger than ordinary women.

Xiao Shi couldn't help but stroke his palms and praised: "I didn't expect Lord He to have a good eye, such a knowledgeable woman can marry her as a concubine, but it is really a blessing." She saw that there seemed to be some jealousy on Xue's face, and then she continued, "However, Mrs. He, thanks to your good management of the family, such a woman may be buried in other mansions." ”

Xue couldn't help but feel a light on his face, and thanked him busily: "The queen has an overreputation, where can the concubines afford it, it's just to run a well-off, where can they match the hard work of the mother to lead the six palaces." She said as she looked at Wei who was standing on the side, "You are still stunned, why don't you hurry up and thank Niangniang for your praise!" ”

After a period of chaos at the moment, due to the special identity of the Xue family, the women of all lives had no intention of intermingling with her and the queen, and retreated one after another. Seeing that all the idle people and others had withdrawn, Xiao Shi restrained his smile, glanced at the two women in front of him with a solemn face, and then spoke: "Mrs. He, you won't become a young woman without a reason, and I was uneasy in my heart, "I believe that your wives and concubines are harmonious, but the rules of Kunning Palace have been set a long time ago." Sipin Gongren has always been able to see the people of the following places only during festivals, what is the urgency of Lord He today? ”

The two women below glanced at each other, their faces were full of surprise, and then they knew that what their husband said was true, and Queen Xiao was indeed a very intelligent woman. "Back to the queen's mother, the concubine's brother sent someone to report the day before yesterday, saying that the Yin family's fish that slipped through the net had a whereabouts, and there were rumors among the merchants outside that this person intended to assassinate His Highness the Seventh Highness again. The elder brother had a relationship with His Royal Highness the Seventh, and felt the grace of his acquaintance, so he sent someone to investigate, but who knew that the thief was fierce and stubborn, and he actually injured several lives in a row. The concubine's self-esteem is indeed not enough to enter the palace, so I had to ask my old lady for mercy, so I entered the Kunning Palace, and asked the queen to inform the Seventh Highness to be careful. ”

Xiao Shi's expression was awe-inspiring, if it was an ordinary person, she would naturally scoff and disdain, you must know that the guards around Feng Wuxian were all personally selected by the emperor, and their skills were all extraordinary. But this Yin family's methods are vicious, the previous encounter almost killed Feng Wuxi, if they repeat the old trick this time, then the matter will be irreparable.

"Your kindness is appreciated by the palace, but if those remnants of the Yin family still want to make waves, not only will the palace not let them go, but even the emperor will strictly investigate it again." Xiao Shi said, her face showed a trace of fatigue, and the two women below hurriedly retired when they saw this, the purpose of their coming here today has been achieved, so naturally there is no need to stay here to get in the way.

"Rouping, do you think what they say is true?" Xiao Shi asked his henchman again, "The emperor has long said that the Yin family was just a scapegoat before, and there were other people behind the scenes. Bengong really doubts the source of their news, could it be that someone is trying to mislead and want to force Bengong to do something out of the ordinary? "It's no wonder that the Xiao family is nervous, there are many villains watching the queens of the past dynasties, so if you are not careful, you will fall for tricks. Although He Weitao is an extremely important person in Xiao Yunchao, at this extraordinary moment, Xiao really doesn't dare to believe in such words too much.

"Niangniang, you can't believe these words, and you can't believe them all." Seeing that her master was a little confused, Rou Ping knew that she was concerned about it, so she hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded, "There are many masters around His Royal Highness Seven, and there is the support of Lord Zhan, if it is an ordinary assassin, he will definitely not be able to get close. If someone else used such tricks again, he had suffered a loss once, and he would have taken precautions. If the mother really cares, just send someone to report it. If it turns the world upside down, won't it make those who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic laugh at? Rouping's meaning is very clear, she has followed the Xiao family for many years, so she naturally knows the temperament of her master.

"Just find a proper person to send the letter to you as you wish, and make sure that there is no more slip-up." Xiao Shi made up his mind, now that the son of Wuxian is fragrant, when the situation is unclear, he is more reliable than Wuxi. Although he has been pampering the wind since he was a child, now as a queen, Xiao has to think about the future. It is a pity that firstly, he has no experience in assisting in government affairs, secondly, he is not outstanding in front of others, and thirdly, the emperor seems to vaguely reveal his dissatisfaction with this son, so all of these have to make the Xiao family change his choice. Either way, as long as she can secure her status, she can make any decision. You must know the determination of a strong man to break his wrist, and a woman like her will not be left behind.

"Queen Qiyu, Her Royal Highness Eleventh asks to see you." A eunuch hurriedly came in to report, and looked at his master's face as he spoke. They are the best at observing words and feelings, Xiao Shi from the past spoiled wind to the current gradual coldness, they have long seen the reason, so for the grumpy wind is often avoided.

"Let him in." Xiao Shi commanded, and his face changed to that indifferent and solemn expression again.

Feng Wuxi sensed the stiffness of the atmosphere as soon as he came in, in the past, every time he came here to greet his mother, Xiao would never hold such a face, always full of spring breeze, and the color of pity was overflowing. Now, he could barely confirm that the woman sitting on top of him was his mother. "The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye." He leaned down deeply, a haze flashing in his eyes, and from his mother's attitude, he could tell that he would not gain anything this time.

"Get up." Xiao Shi said lightly, and when her son sat down, she spoke again, "It's a pity, you are also old now, and this palace doesn't care about any morning and dusk provinces, as long as you earn face like your brother, this palace will be at ease." Xiao Shi stared at his son's eyes, and sure enough, he found the jealousy that he was trying to hide in those eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Your uncle is not in the capital, if you are fine, you might as well go to his house to meet your cousins, who are of the same age, so that they can take care of each other. ”

Feng Wuxian couldn't help but light up in his eyes, the Xiao family used to not allow him to come and go to the Xiao family frequently, but now he was allowed again, didn't it mean that he could get more support from the Xiao family? He hurriedly stood up respectfully, his face full of joy. The mother and son chatted a few more words, and Feng couldn't wait to retire without regret, not seeing the unhappy look on his mother's face.

"It's a pity that it's still too tender, he didn't think of the intention of this palace to let him get along with the children of the Xiao family more." Seeing his son leaving, Xiao couldn't help but sigh lightly, "If it weren't for the fact that he was hopeless now, this palace would never forget to avoid suspicion." I can't even see through this, I can't figure it out, this palace has really protected him under his wings for too long. ”

Rouping wanted to comfort a few words, but the words came to her lips and swallowed, in the palace, anything could happen. Who would have thought that the weak boy who was struggling on the sickbed at the beginning would now be able to soar into the sky and show the ambition of Lingyun?
