Xinyue was very happy to listen to it from the side, who let Rong Ying watch his joke just now, at this moment, it was his turn.

It was only when she looked up that Crescent Moon saw the figure of the Cheshire Lord from behind the screen, so she didn't leave, but just hid in the shadows and watched every move that happened here.

After these few contacts, Crescent Moon felt that the Cheshire Lord seemed to be a little hostile to her, and after thinking about it repeatedly, she also felt that she didn't seem to have provoked her, but if she spoke here now, would it ease the relationship between the two of them?

Xinyue pondered this possibility, and said tentatively, "It is precisely because Lian Shizi is still young and easy to have feelings with the Lord of Cheshire, so the little girl said something that should not be said to me, and I think that the marriage between the two is as early as possible." ”

After Rong Ying listened, she recovered from her daze, raised her head and looked at Xinyue in a daze, Xinyue's heart trembled when he looked at her, and she wanted to lower her head, only to hear the queen say, "Look, what does Xinyue say, the two of you, as long as you set your relatives first, and then let Bijun Yu Lian'er contact more, the two of them will have feelings, and they will get along in the future, and there will be a bit of mother-son friendship." ”

"What does this have to do with you?" Xinyue was shocked, Rong Ying's tone was cold, with three points of anger, he really didn't look like him in front of ordinary people.

But she quickly figured it out, Rong Ying's words were not for herself, she only heard him continue, "Lian'er still has a mother, even if she is righteous and awe-inspiring, she may not be able to treat it sincerely, how many people in this world do you think are the queen's mother?" So sincerely for my sake? A few days ago, the king of Japan saw Lianyue's sister, and she also passed the year of Jilu, according to Xu Hounu's words, wouldn't it be better to marry Lianyue's sister, and be better for Lian'er, this king's marriage is a major event. You can be managed by an outsider. ”

Xinyue glanced at it, and the queen's face changed, so she stood up, bowed her head and refused to say to the two people, "It's Xinyue who said a lot, the queen mother is still waiting for the little girl in the palace, and the little girl will go over first." ”

Without waiting for the two to reply, Crescent Moon lowered her head and walked outside. As soon as she walked out of the inner hall, Feng'er hurriedly greeted her, "Girl, what's wrong with you?" How did you hang your head? ”

After hearing this, Xinyue glanced back, took out a handkerchief and wiped her eyes, did not speak, and left with her head in tow.

Mama Xiang watched the new moon leave, and when she returned to the inner hall, she saw that the queen and the king of Jin were still-for-tat, so while packing up the teacup of the new moon, she said to the king of Jin, "Lord, the queen is also good to you, the main appearance of Cheshire has a look, and the family background is to have a family background, and it will be beneficial to the prince in the previous dynasty in the future, not to mention that you just arrived in Jinling this year, and there is no princess, the affairs of the Houfu are complicated, and in the future, there will be more and more such trivial matters, and there is a princess who has seen the world in the back, which can save you a lot of trouble." And the Crescent Moon girl was not wrong just now, Xiao Shizi is still young, and the acceptance of the county lord is also high, do you think what the Crescent Moon girl said is not right, and you don't have to refute it in front of her, just now the slave girl looked at it, the Crescent Moon girl left with red eyes, and shed tears when she went out. Today is a good day for Chinese New Year's Eve, why do you want to provoke her to shed these tears? ”

"You said she cried?" Rong Ying asked incredulously.

"Not really. You have always been safe, and the queen is even more interested in you, so she is willing to marry her niece to you, don't miss her kindness. Mama Xiang thought that the king of Jin was more than succumbing, who knew that he stood up, bowed and said, "The queen mother is unwell, rest, and the son will retire first." ”

As he spoke, he took three steps and walked out in two steps.

As soon as Rong Ying left, Chai Bijun walked out from behind the screen, and saw that the queen was waving the teacup on the ground, and quickly took the queen's hand, "Auntie, this tea is hot, be careful with your hands." ”

The queen was still angry when she dropped the cup, and stood up and scolded Rong Ying, "This wolf-hearted thing, I don't look at it, who took this good wealth from whom, blindly provoked, be careful that even if I let him sit on the dragon chair, it won't be a dream." ”

Chai Bijun looked at the somewhat crazy queen beside him, and didn't say anything, but just laughed at such a queen in his heart, because for her, the new hope of the Chai family now is her own right, and the aunt in front of her is just a sunset, which is unbearable.

Rong Ying came out of the queen's palace with a heavy heart, and didn't take a few steps, but saw Xinyue sitting on the strange rock by the pool with her back to Rong Ying, so he couldn't see her expression, but just saw her blindly lowering her head.

Xinyue raised her head and said to Feng'er, "Is there still rice candy there?" ”

"Naturally, there is" Feng'er knew that Xinyue wanted to eat something sweet, so from the burden on his back, he took out the sticky rice candy wrapped in oiled paper, Xinyue took it in his hand, took a bite, and his mood improved, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and said to Hao'er, "This King of Jin, in front of the queen, can't help it for a moment, if I am the queen, let alone Xu Marry his niece, arrange a new person for the emperor, and give birth to a prince is better than here, look at his eyes." ”

"Girl, you said that our Majesty, there are many concubines, why are the heirs so thin?" Feng'er also ate the sticky rice candy in her hand, Xinyue looked up, and saw that she could be regarded as to the point, and smiled, "If it weren't for King Jin being sent out of the palace, I am afraid that there would only be one princess left in this palace now." No, if there is no King of Jin, the crown prince..."Xinyue realized that what she said was a little too much, so she stopped her voice, "In short, it is the creation of the world." ”

"Girl, let's go to the Queen Mother's palace quickly."

Xinyue shook her head, "I want to go quickly, but I don't want to see Rong Ying again, just wait here for him to come to Xingshi to ask for guilt." ”

As she spoke, the new moon also became idle, ate the candy in her hand, and fiddled with the beads on her neck a little boredly.

"Since you know that I went back to ask you about the crime, what nonsense are you talking about?" Only then did Rong Ying understand that the place where the crescent moon was here was waiting for him.

"I just want to have a good relationship with the current queen and the queen in the future." Crescent Moon was not surprised at all, just patted the crumbs on her hands and stood up from the stone.

"Are you angry with me?" Rong Ying thought of her thoughts, and her heart sank.

Xinyue saw that he was a little unconscious now, so she sighed, "His Royal Highness King Jin, do you feel that you have become a person who loves children?" ”

Rong Ying never thought about this question, "I..."

"Apparently you don't, you, but you have something big to do. Marrying the Lord of Cheshire is a very important thing for you, but it is justifiably recognized by the queen's family, and it will be a big deal for you in the future. Xinyue stood two meters away from Rong Ying, her long hair was blown by the wind, and she was so cold as snow.

"I don't want the approval of the queen's family..."After saying this, Rong Ying felt that he didn't believe it, and sure enough, Xinyue smiled, "Lord, don't go to the end, even you yourself are moved." As we agreed before, if there is anything that the little girl can serve, the little girl can do it for you, but you, don't pull me into your game, I'm just a powerless woman, and I can't survive in this palace. ”

After saying that, Crescent Moon walked away on her own.

Feng'er followed behind with some fear: "Girl, are you really okay talking to King Jin like this?" ”

Crescent Moon walked with her head down, "Big deal, just kill me." ”

"Girl...", she said in a long voice, not letting Crescent Moon say such self-destructive words.

"Let's go" Xinyue smiled indifferently, and the two went to the Empress Dowager's palace together.

At this time, the Queen Mother was sitting in the hall, meeting with those nobles, and when she saw the new moon coming in, the smile in the corner of her eyes deepened.

"Girl, the Queen Mother has been thinking about you since she got up early." Xue Cui moved the round stool and let Xinyue sit next to the Queen Mother.

Before Xinyue could speak, Mrs. Zhuang said, "It's all concubines, and I left Xinyue for lunch, and it was only late for her to enter the palace to ask for peace, and the queen mother wants to blame, so blame the concubine." ”

The Queen Mother looked at Xinyue happily, she didn't expect her to be so enlightened, she went to visit Mrs. Zhuang early in the morning, and then said to her brother and daughter-in-law with a smile, "This hasn't become a family yet, so I'll protect it." This is the granddaughter of the mourning family, and the mourning family can't bear to punish it. Come, drink tea, you like. ”

"Thank you Queen Mother, the Queen Mother's face is much better." Xinyue looked at the Queen Mother's face and sincerely wished that she could live longer.

The Queen Mother listened and nodded, "It's better." ”

"If the girl comes and goes often, the Queen Mother's illness will be cured soon." Xuecui knew that the Queen Mother liked the new moon and hoped that she would come more.

"Okay, since my aunt has said so, then from tomorrow, I will come every day, as long as the Queen Mother doesn't think I'm panicking and kicks me out." Crescent Moon picked up the teacup and took a sip.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she laughed, "You, you still don't come much, the big winter in the province has lifted the roof of my Ci'an Palace." ”

"Auntie, look, the Queen Mother really doesn't like me very much." Xinyue looked at the Queen Mother with some grievances.

The Queen Mother has been sick for a long time, happy and quiet, but quiet for a long time, it is not bad to have a new moon in front of her, looking at the new moon's big watery eyes, she can't help but hold her in her arms, "I like it, grandmother, I like you the most." ”

When all the nobles saw it, they all smiled and looked at the coquettish grandparents and grandchildren, and they all laughed kindly.

After a while, all the nobles watched the time and said goodbye to the palace banquet, and only the Queen Mother, Mrs. Zhuang, Chen and Xinyue were left in the palace.

The Queen Mother held the hand of the new moon, unwilling to let go for a moment, and kept rubbing the bones of the new moon, a picture of love that could not be put down.

And Mrs. Zhuang and Mrs. Chen were specially left behind by the Queen Mother, and after seeing that everyone was gone, she raised her head, looked at Mrs. Zhuang with a pair of eyes cloudy from long-term illness, and asked, "Shu'er, how about this daughter-in-law that the mourning family chose for you?" ”

When Mrs. Zhuang heard this, she stood up a little flattered, and replied with her hands folded, "The Queen Mother is wise, and the whole family of the concubine is flattered. Will treat the Crescent Girl well. ”

"Yes, Queen Mother, please rest assured." Chen stood behind her mother-in-law, responding.

"Then don't wait any longer, before the mourning family closes, I will definitely see you and have a destiny for a lifetime." As she spoke, the Queen Mother looked at the new moon, as if she could see the little trick of the new moon at a glance.

Xinyue frowned, but didn't dare to speak, but the Queen Mother still reached out and touched her black hair, "You must be happy, I can, go to see your mother, my child." ”

Xinyue knew that the Queen Mother was indeed very sick, and now she looked at Xinyue and said nonsense, "Chan'er, miss your mother." ”

Chan'er is the boudoir name of Xinyue's mother, the eldest princess of Yining, and the queen mother looked at herself, a person who didn't look like her mother, and she had a double shadow.

The new moon shed tears, "Queen Mother." ”

"Good boy, it hurts," said the Queen Mother, carefully rubbing the wound on Xinyue's forehead, "Why are you so ruthless?" ”

"Queen Mother, this is not the eldest princess, it's the eldest princess's child, the new moon girl." Xue Cui helped the Queen Mother, obviously this was not the first time she had seen her, Xinyue lowered her head and cried, the Queen Mother saw it, and still wanted to wipe her tears, but because she didn't have the strength in her hands, she only smiled at Xinyue, "Don't cry, it's all like this, everyone is like this." ”

The Queen Mother was supported by Xuecui and went to the apse to rest, and the palace banquet for a while was not possible, Xinyue wanted to follow and serve, but was pulled by the Queen Mother, "You go, you go to play, the mother is fine, the mother is just tired, the mother is so tearful." ”

Xinyue had tears in her eyes, and wanted to follow, but was held by Mrs. Zhuang with her hand stretched out, "Good boy, the Queen Mother is tired." ”

"Madam, Queen Mother, she...", and Xinyue began to cry.

"Don't cry, the new moon, the year is down, crying is not appropriate, you should be blessed for the queen mother." Chen also persuaded Xinyue, who had to hang her head and go to the palace banquet in front with the two.

The palace banquet was held on the left and right, and the male guests were naturally seated on the left, while the sparse screen on the right side was full of nobles and relatives who came to the banquet.

Xinyue's seat was not the same as that of Mrs. Zhuang and the Chen family, but sat behind the eldest princess Wen Qing, because her sister-in-law did not come, so she sat alone. Sitting beside him, Xinyue fixed his eyes and saw that it was Yao'er.

Yao'er sat at the same table with her mother-in-law, Li, her face was ruddy, which was also good, while Shan'er sat a little further forward, turned around and smiled at Xinyue and Shan'er.

Yao'er said a few words to her mother-in-law Li, Li nodded, and Yao'er happily walked over, "Sister-in-law, let's sit at the same table." ”

"Okay," she said, and Xinyue sat down next to her, freeing up most of her seat for Yao'er.

Yao'er sat down, as if she had no restraints, reached out and picked up the apple placed on the side, and took a bite, "Sister-in-law, I'm dying of hunger." ”

"Why didn't you go to see the Queen Mother? The Queen Mother rewarded shortbread, you must love to eat it. Xinyue saw her shouting that she was hungry, and it would take a while for this banquet to start, for fear that she would be hungry.

"My mother-in-law said that there were a lot of people on the Queen Mother's side, so she wouldn't let me bother, but I really didn't like to go. It's good to have an apple, and it's good to eat shortbread later. ”

"Feng'er" said, Feng'er took out the oil-paper bag from the baggage, and Yao'er's eyes lit up when she saw it, "Sister-in-law, you are the best." ”

Xinyue smiled, "Eat less, what is sold on the street is not necessarily clean." ”

"Got it." As she spoke, Yao'er stuck a piece of rice candy in her left and right hands, and the corners of her mouth were about to rise to the sky with a smile.

Li looked at Yao'er with a smile, Xinyue was afraid that she would have something in her heart, so she quickly explained, "Auntie, this is what the little girl bought from the big fruit store, and the queen mother also eats it occasionally, so it is very clean and will not do any harm to the body, and I also gave it to her when I heard Yao'er say that she was hungry." ”

"Miss Xu doesn't have to be so polite, Yao'er's temper, the old body can see it clearly, and she also knew that Yao'er was so lively, and she felt that Jie'er was too boring, and the two just complemented each other. That's exactly what happened, our whole family, we loved her. It's also thanks to you, Miss Xu, for taking good care of you. Lee's smile was sincere, so that the new moon was relieved.

"Thank you, mother-in-law," she said, and Yao'er smiled and ate the sticky rice candy in her hand.

Xinyue retracted her gaze and pulled Yao'er's arm, "Yao'er, eat well, don't smile on your face, this is still a national funeral." ”

Yao'er listened to the reminder and nodded solemnly, "Yes, sister-in-law is right." ”

"Your eldest brother is here?" Crescent asked.

"Yes, not long after sending my grandfather back, His Majesty summoned my brother, who arrived yesterday, and will definitely be at the palace banquet today, where I am." As she spoke, Yao'er pointed to Rong Xu, who was sitting behind King Jin.

Xinyue glanced at Rong Xu, Rong Xu also found Xinyue, and smiled at her, the relationship between the two is much better now than if the two were husband and wife, even before they got married, Xinyue also smiled, but was caught by Rong Ying, he frowned, and glanced at Xinyue fiercely, until Xinyue retracted his gaze, and then turned back, Rong Xu felt Rong Ying's gaze, and he withdrew his eyes to Xinyue.

"Sister-in-law, you see how happy my eldest brother is to see you, it can be seen that he still has you in his heart."

After hearing this, Xinyue smiled and shook her head, "Xiao Yao'er, have you ever heard that good horses don't eat back grass." ”

"Sister-in-law, you're not a horse, you're just a woman, a woman who longs for men to cherish and treat." As she spoke, Yao'er took the last bite of sticky rice candy on her left hand.

Xinyue smiled and took the rice grains from the corner of her mouth, "But your eldest brother, not that man." ”

"Who's that? Is it King Jin? Yao'er smiled and whispered knowing the severity.

"What do you say?" As she spoke, Crescent Moon took her hand and told her not to talk nonsense.

"His Royal Highness King Jin's eyes were about to pop out just now, but it's scary, you still say it's not." Yao'er looked clear, "Sister-in-law, Master Yu He said that you have a life to be a queen, Yao'er looks, you have such a life." ”

When Xinyue heard this, her face sank, "Don't talk nonsense." ”

"How can it be nonsense, if you don't believe it, try it and you'll know."

"Try what? You still have a child in your belly, don't mess around" Xinyue saw the sly look in Yao'er's eyes, and knew that she didn't have a good heart.

"I'm not going to try it, I'm asking you to try it, sister-in-law. This man is a jealous person, you, if you want to know King Jin's heart for you, you can find a man to try..."

"Enough, open your mouth and close your mouth to men, pay attention to your identity." Crescent Moon scolded in a low voice, looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so she was relieved.

"Sister-in-law, you, you're really not frank. Miss Feng'er, give Mrs. Ben another piece. As she spoke, Yao'er stretched out her hand to Feng'er, and asked Feng'er to take out the paper bag again, and Feng'er spread her hands, "Mrs. Yao, the sticky rice cakes here have been eaten by you." ”

"You're lying, you just had a full bag." Saying that, Yao'er was about to tear Feng'er's burden, and was pulled by Xinyue, "Don't make trouble, the emperor is here." ”

While the two were talking, time passed quickly, and the palace banquet began immediately, and sure enough, as soon as the new moon spoke, the main gate was opened from the outside, and only the messenger said, "Your Majesty, the queen has arrived." ”

Everyone stood up straight, stood there, facing the throne, and when His Majesty and the Empress walked to the throne, they all knelt on the ground, "See the Emperor, see the Empress, Long live the Emperor, Long live the Queen, Long live the Queen, Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose"

"Flatten, sit down." His Majesty spoke.

"Emperor Xie" Xinyue got up, helped the cautious Yao'er, and sat in her original position.

"Today's Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet, because the crown prince is newly mourned, it is not appropriate to do a big job, today is not to perform music or song and dance, but in accordance with the ancestral rules, everyone will eat and drink well." His Majesty was also weak, and after saying this, he sat in his place and "had a banquet"

As soon as the words fell, hundreds of palace people served delicious food.

After the dishes were ready, His Majesty raised the wine glass in his hand again, and everyone also raised their glasses, and after everyone drank this cup, the palace banquet officially began.

Xinyue knew that Yao'er was hungry, so she put all the chicken thighs and fish in her hand. Yao'er was a little restrained, eating in small bites, Xinyue looked at the wine in her cup with some embarrassment, just now the palace maid beside her poured another glass for her, she naturally didn't want to drink it, but this wine has a certain degree, do you want to pretend to be drunk?

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Yao'er saw that Xinyue was in a daze, and shook her, and Xinyue reacted at this time, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

"The palace banquet is very restrained, don't be in a daze" Yao'er took a piece of beef and put it on her plate.

Sure enough, as soon as Yao'er's words fell, the empress spoke: "Your Majesty, this Chinese New Year's Eve is a day of the year to remove the old and welcome the new, and the Qing family thinks of the pain of His Majesty's loss of a son, and does not dare to speak loudly, so quiet, it is always inappropriate with this festive atmosphere, it is better to invite the people in the family of Zhongqing, talented people, perform a talent, first, to relieve everyone's boredom, and second, to let this time pass faster, Your Majesty, you are also in a better mood." ”

As soon as the queen said this, it immediately attracted the approval of the concubine Cao, "Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince liked piano, chess, calligraphy and painting the most during his lifetime, and often said that there is no food, no elegance, please perform to help the fun, it is also an elegant thing, which is in line with His Royal Highness the Prince's heart." ”

As soon as he heard that it was "the prince's heart", His Majesty immediately nodded his head and said, "In this case, according to the queen's words, it is only forbidden to perform joy, and the singing and dancing do not have to be complicated and gorgeous, after all, it is a mourning period."

Xinyue looked around, many ministers were embarrassed, but Xinyue thought, since this was proposed by the queen, the response, it should only be some concubines, just when Xinyue felt at ease, the queen spoke again, "Since it is for the Zhongqing's family to perform for fun, the concubines and others should not be mixed, and the palace will also make a name for it, and the best one who performs can be rewarded by the palace." ”

Saying that, Mama Miao was holding a brocade box, the box was open, and Xinyue looked up at the fist-sized, fluorescent night pearl in the box, and was about to sigh, and was pulled by Yao'er, "Sister-in-law, look, I haven't seen such a big night pearl." ”
