In the Shouchuan Palace, Sima and Yi were half-squatting to beat the legs of the Empress Dowager Tong.

"The Queen Mother, I haven't seen the Queen Mother for a long time." Sima Heyi's voice is extremely beautiful, full of the girl's jumping agility.

Empress Dowager Tong's eyes flashed slightly, rubbed her temples and said: "If you have time, you can often come to the palace to sit, there are too many deserted people in this palace." ”

"The Queen Mother doesn't bother me." Sima He said with a grin.

Sima Heyi and his brother said that they were returning to Beijing, but in fact they were left in the capital as protons.

Their father's prestige in the south was too great, and in order to show his loyalty to Emperor Pingxuan, the king of Zhennan specially sent a pair of children to the capital together.

Although Sima Heyi is not a deep-minded person, he also knows the benefits of being close to the Empress Dowager Tong from time to time.

Emperor Ping Xuan respects his biological mother the most, and if he can get the protection of the Empress Dowager Tong, their family will be safe and smooth.

Sima Heyi's other purpose is for his brother's marriage.

"Your brother doesn't come to see the mourning family very much." Empress Dowager Tong seemed to mention it casually, but in fact, she was also suspicious of Sima Chengwen.

Sima Heyi immediately smiled: "The Queen Mother doesn't know, my brother has met a girl he likes, and he is probably trying his best to make that girl happy at this time!" ”

Empress Dowager Tong became interested and asked, "Oh? Your brother is indeed old enough to marry a wife, I wonder what kind of family that girl is? ”

Sima He sighed silently in his heart that Empress Dowager Tong would really be interested in her brother's marriage.

However, it is not difficult to understand, her brother is the prince of Zhennan after all, if this princess is not at ease with the queen mother, it will definitely attract more suspicion of the queen mother and the emperor about their family.

Sima Heyi shook his head, curled his lips and said with a light smile: "My brother refuses to tell me, next time the Queen Mother might as well ask him directly." ”

Empress Dowager Tong smiled lightly, "You girl want to inquire about your brother through the hand of the mourning family, right?" ”

Sima He pursed his lips and smiled, never denying it.

It doesn't matter what the Queen Mother thinks, as long as she doesn't feel that they are marrying the princess behind her back.

"My mother is not in the capital, and of course my brother's marriage needs to be checked by the Queen Mother." Sima He said with his tongue out.

Empress Dowager Tong felt a little unbearable in her heart, and rubbed Sima Heyi's head, "Your mother is about to return to Beijing, right?" ”

Approaching the end of the year, Zhennan Wang and his wife were to return to Beijing to report on their work according to the usual practice.

In addition, Sima Heyi is about to get married after the New Year, and her parents will definitely go back to the capital to watch her get married.

Sima Heyi nodded lightly and said, "It's already on the way, and it's estimated that it's almost there." ”

After returning to the Tassel Garden, Bai Suxin's eyelids began to jump suddenly.

Thinking of the last time she was sure of Sima Zhaohe as the princess, her eyelids also jumped like this.

"Qianqiu, what can I do if my eyelids keep jumping?" Bai Suxin couldn't bear it anymore and asked Qianqiu beside him.

The little girl pondered for a moment and said, "Girl, let's rest early tonight, maybe tomorrow will be fine." ”

Bai Suxin nodded helplessly, perhaps out of intuition, she didn't quite believe this statement.

After Bai Suxin woke up on the second day, he found that his eyelids really didn't beat.

Just when she thought she was really thinking too much, there was news from the little girl, saying that her cousin was here.

In the front hall of the White Mansion, a girl in a floral skirt stood upright in the center.

Seeing Bai Yitian and Qi Tong coming, the girl saluted lightly: "Cousin-"

The girl's gaze fell on Qi Tong, and she was stunned for a moment and then greeted, "Big lady." ”

The atmosphere was surprisingly embarrassing, because the girl came suddenly, and Qi Tong didn't have time to figure out who she was.

Bai Yitian introduced with a calm expression: "This is Li Jia, Xin'er's cousin. ”

In front of Li Jia and Qi Yun, Bai Yitian couldn't explain this twisting and turning relationship clearly.

Li Jia's mother and Bai Suxin's mother Lin Tianhe are cousins, which is why Bai Yitian chose to introduce them like this.

Qi Tong curled his lips and said with a smile: "Since Jia'er is here, let's stay in Yuming Garden now." ”

"Thank you, lady." Li Jia bowed slightly.

She has a good posture and a standard of etiquette, and at first glance she has been strictly trained since she was a child.

Bai Suxin took Qianqiu to the Tassel Garden.

"Third cousin-" As soon as Li Jia saw Bai Suxin coming over, she hurriedly ran over and pulled her sleeve.

Bai Suxin muttered a little in her heart, whether it was in her previous life or in this life, she was not familiar with this Li Jia, right?

Why did someone who didn't know her come up and pulled her sleeve, did she remember it wrong?

Bai Suxin withdrew his sleeves, Li Jia smiled, and then opened the box placed on the side and took out two embroidered handkerchiefs from it.

"Jia'er is lonely now, there is really nothing valuable to give to the third cousin and the eldest lady, this veil is embroidered by me personally, I hope the two can accept it." Li Jia's eyes flashed, looking pitiful.

In the eyes of others, such a little girl may be the most pleasing.

Understand advance and retreat, know etiquette, the key is weakness.

But Bai Suxin felt that this appearance was particularly sympathetic, although she accepted the embroidered handkerchief, she still secretly wondered in her heart about the purpose of Li Jia's coming.

"Jia'er has worked hard all the way, let's go back to the yard and rest early." Bai Yitian glanced at Qi Tong and said softly.

Qi Tong hurriedly ordered: "Chaolu, quickly take the cousin girl to the Jade Tea Garden." ”

"Mrs. Bai has arranged it, I remember the road, and I told the two little guys to help me with my luggage." Li Jia bent her eyes and smiled.

Li Jia's face is sweet, and her smile is very contagious.

Bai Yitian's gaze did not stay on Li Jia, but simply ordered: "Then let Ah Chopsticks and Ah Huan send you over." ”

"Thank you, cousin-in-law."

Li Jia quickly walked out of the front hall, and the two little servants behind her carried the box for her.

Only Bai Yitian, Qi Tong, Bai Suxin and a few henchmen and maidservants were left in the front hall.

"Father, why did she come all of a sudden?" Since he couldn't figure it out, Bai Suxin asked directly.

Bai Yitian also shook his head blankly, "Some time ago, I heard that the Li family wanted to marry her, speaking of which, Jia'er is the same age as you, but it is also the age when it is time to get married." ”

Seeing that his daughter was silent, Bai Yitian continued: "I guess I want to come to the capital to make a way out." ”

"But she shouldn't have come to live in our house like this, after all, my mother is long gone, and we have rarely seen each other for so many years." Bai Suxin's face was cold, and she directly expressed her dislike for this cousin.

Their family is not a good church, but they don't have that much spare time to help others.

Besides, intuitively, this cousin is definitely not that simple.

If something happens in their house, won't they have to deal with it?

Bai Yitian stroked his beard and said, "No matter what, let's stay first, and we'll talk about it later." ”

The daughter seems to be unhappy again, it's too difficult for him to be a father!

"She'd better be honest!"

Bai Suxin left a cold sentence and strode out of the front hall.
