Chapter 44: A Long Talk Between Ancestors and Grandchildren

Maybe it's because the food is delicious, and Empress Dowager Xiao's appetite is very good today. Originally, I was still angry with my grandson before, and after a meal, most of the anger in my heart has gone.

Seeing her grandson take out a few small bottles from another box as if offering treasures, and let people take out more than a dozen small wooden boxes from a large box, Empress Dowager Xiao was curious.

"What are these?"

Tang Xiao put a few bottles of perfume in front of her grandmother, uncorked one of them, and explained: "Grandma, this is called perfume, which can be dripped on clothes or on the body, and it can maintain the fragrance for a long time. Do you like the scent? ”

Empress Dowager Xiao glanced at the small bottle handed over, sniffed it gently, and sure enough, the aroma was strong, although she couldn't smell what kind of floral fragrance it was, but it was not the kind she liked. Seeing the dislike in her grandmother's eyes, Tang Xiao changed a few bottles for her to smell, and finally determined that grandma liked the jasmine scent.

"Grandma, the fragrance of these bottles of perfume is relatively elegant, and they are all left for you. The rest of these will be sent to the imperial aunt later. There are also these soaps for washing and bathing, and my grandson will leave you a dozen pieces first. If you run out, let someone know, and your grandchild will send you some more. ”

Then, Tang Xiao took out a piece of soap and demonstrated how to use it, which made Empress Dowager Xiao praise again and again.

"These things are made by the craftsmen in your house?"

"Grandma, those people are grandchildren's treasures, you are not allowed to make up your mind."

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Xiao knocked Tang Xiao's head with a smile and said, "You kid, grandma is just curious to ask, look at you are nervous." ”

"Hehe, my grandson said the wrong thing, thank you grandma for rewarding me."

"Don't worry, you are so diligent today, do you have something to ask grandma?"

"Grandma, didn't you ask knowingly!"

Empress Dowager Xiao saw that her grandson was a scoundrel, and she no longer detoured, and said: "Grandma has heard about the matter of the early dynasty today, if you bow your head and admit your mistake at that time, the emperor will naturally not let you be wronged." ”

"Grandma, grandchildren are not wrong at all!"

"You bastard, don't you know what's wrong now?" Empress Dowager Xiao's tone became stern: "You shouldn't mess around in the court, let alone embarrass your imperial uncle!" If it weren't for the martial artist's girl who robbed you, if it weren't for Mr. Fang's counterattack, do you really think this matter would pass so easily? ”

"Grandma, grandson is not convinced! Sun Er was angry at the time, so he beat the bastard surnamed Zhou, Sun Er had obediently followed the palace guard to Zongzheng Temple, it was Wu Meiniang who robbed Sun Er in front of the palace gate, how did she do it right in your mouth, but Sun Er did it wrong? ”

Seeing Tang Xiao's unconvinced appearance, Empress Dowager Xiao smiled: "If you can see clearly and think clearly, you won't do these foolish things." Do you think the girl of the martial arts family robbed you wrong? ”

Tang Xiao nodded and muttered, "Chai Lingwu's ear was cut off by her sword, and I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup that girl poured into her grandmother." ”

Thinking that Wu Jue had just come before, Tang Xiao felt that the girl must have said something to her grandmother, which made her protect her so much.

Maybe she heard Tang Xiao's muttering, or maybe she guessed his thoughts, Empress Dowager Xiao sighed: "The girl from the martial family just came here and told grandma the truth. Grandma knows that she framed you yesterday, which led to today's court. ”

"Grandma, since you know everything, why do you want to say that it is your grandson's fault!"

"Mouthy! Listen to Grandma's words. ”

Tang Xiao was knocked on crutches again, and suddenly shrank his head and became honest.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Xiao continued: "Chai Shao's son is disrespectful, he should be killed!" Wu Yatou cut off one of his ears, which was to tell him that she would not pursue this matter in the future. If you hadn't met by mistake, and Wu Yatou pushed this matter on your head on a whim, I'm afraid there would be no today. It's just today...... That Longxi Li clan is really hateful! ”

At this point, Tang Xiao finally understood a little and asked, "What does grandma mean...... The Li family deliberately wants to kill his grandson? ”

Empress Dowager Xiao laughed, pointed at Tang Xiao, and said, "You, you!" Do you really think that the Li family thinks so highly of you? ”

"Could it be ......" Tang Xiao thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "They used this matter to coerce Uncle Huang, there must be other purposes!" ”

Seeing that Tang Xiao could think of this so quickly, Empress Dowager Xiao was a little surprised, but also relieved.

"You guessed it right." Empress Dowager Xiao nodded and said: "The Li family has monopolized the trade routes in the Western Regions for decades, and Yu'er mentioned a while ago that they would build military stations on the trade routes to ensure the smooth and safe flow of the trade routes. Because there are too many people who oppose this matter, it has not been decided. ”

"Grandma, grandson understands."

Hearing this, Tang Xiao finally came to his senses.

Because the Li family was worried that the imperial uncle Tang Yu would discuss this matter again, he happened to use Chai Lingwu's matter as a bargaining chip to make the imperial uncle retreat. It's just that the Li family is too anxious, is there anything else hidden?

Thinking of this, Tang Xiao hurriedly said, "Grandma, my grandson thinks that the Li family shouldn't be so anxious. Yesterday's events were simply not enough to be used as a bargaining chip, and the weight was too light. The grandson is just an idle prince, not the crown prince, even if this matter is big, the emperor uncle will beat the grandson at most. Therefore, Sun Er thought that there must be something else, which made Li's dog jump over the wall in a hurry, wanting to use this matter to force Uncle Huang to make concessions. ”

Hearing this, a flash of horror flashed in Empress Dowager Xiao's eyes, and she muttered softly: "Could it be that those people know ......?"

Seeing that Tang Xiao was still beside her, she hurriedly coughed lightly and said, "Don't worry, don't you still want to go to the queen's side?" Let's get over there. As for your imperial uncle, grandma will naturally help you intercede. ”

Tang Xiao was stunned, and always felt that it was a little strange for his grandmother to drive him away in such a hurry. He was about to ask, but saw that his grandmother turned his head and told Mama Su to go to Taiji Palace to invite the imperial uncle over.

Thinking that if he didn't leave, he would definitely meet with Uncle Huang, Tang Xiao hurriedly leaned over and said, "Grandson, I'll go to Aunt Huang's side, and I'll come to visit grandma another day." ”

I didn't see Tang Fengmian and Xiao Nuanqing when I came over today, and Tang Xiao was slightly disappointed in his heart. He left the kaleidoscope and medical books he brought, and asked his grandmother to hand them over to the two girls, and then left Yong'an Palace.

Empress Dowager Xiao watched Tang Xiao leave, and her expression instantly became cold. It's just that Tang Xiao didn't see this scene. At this moment, he was on his way to Qingning Palace.

The sky gradually darkened, and the palace maids could be seen lighting lanterns outside the hall everywhere along the way. Looking at these lampshades made of inferior glass, Tang Xiao seemed to see silver waving at him. When the construction of the Grange is completed, it will be the time when he soars into the sky.

Thinking beautifully in my heart, I unconsciously arrived in front of the Qingning Palace. Tang Yan was playing in the courtyard, and when he saw the palace maids leading Tang Xiao in, he turned around and looked curiously for a moment, and then ran over happily.

"Ping An remembers you, you are a worry-free brother, right?"

Hearing this milky voice, Tang Xiao hugged Tang Yan, afraid that he would fall.

It turns out that Tang Yan's milk name is Ping'an, which is really a good name. Yan is a good day, every day is safe. This milk name is similar to the artistic conception of the word 'worry-free', and probably has the same expectations.

Thinking of this, Tang Xiao sighed lightly, and then smiled: "Ping An is so smart, he even remembers Brother Wuwu." As a reward, my brother wants to give you a gift. ”

"What gift does Brother Wuwu want to give to Ping An?"

The little guy blinked curiously, and saw Tang Xiao taking a box from the palace maid's hand, with a look of anticipation.

"Xiao Ping'an, this is for you!"

Tang Xiao handed over the top, maybe the little guy had never seen such a conical object, and he was a little scared and didn't dare to reach out to pick it up. Seeing this, Tang Xiao directly demonstrated, put the falling off on the card slot, and then used the serration in his hand to pass through the hole on the card slot, and pulled it with his hand, and the spinning top flew out and rotated quickly on the ground.

"Wow! Brother Worry-Free is amazing! ”

Tang Yan clapped his hands and jumped, already a little impatient to come forward and try it. Tang Xiao taught the little guy how to play, and seeing that the little guy was already familiar with it, he got up and found that the eldest grandson queen was standing on the steps under the eaves, looking at them with a smile.
