The last sentence that Princess Yan said was actually the point.

Wu Qiongye had a reason to go to the Xie family as a guest, but in fact, it was not her real intention to visit the Xie family's servants, she just went to be a messenger for Xiao Rui.

Xie Mulin got a handwritten letter from Xiao Rui the next day, and it was quite thick. The mouth of the envelope was sealed, and the ink on it was also printed with Xiao Rui's private seal.

Wu Qiongye smiled and said to her: "What did the prince write in the letter, the princess and princess don't know, but the prince wrote a lot of coquettish words in the letter to the prince, and it is estimated that the letter to the girl is also full of sweet words, right?" ”

Xie Mulin's face was a little hot, and he embarrassedly put the letter into his sleeve, pretending to be casual and continuing to talk to Wu Qiongye: "I heard that there were some rumors about the whereabouts of Second Brother Xiao in the city before, and General Xiao Yuan was involved. I really feel angry when I hear it, is it okay with the county lord? ”

When she saw Princess Yan yesterday, she actually wanted to ask this question. But considering that Princess Yan was angry about the rumors before, she felt that it was a little rude to ask in person, so she could ask Aunt Wu Qiongye in private.

Wu Qiongye replied to her without hesitation: "The county lord lost his temper twice. The two ladies of the Yuan family also came to the palace to inquire about rumors. They were a little uneasy in their hearts, for fear that the princess and princess would misunderstand the Yuan family. The county lord finally appeased them, and after sending them away, he became angry, thinking that the people who spread the rumors were too inferior, knowing that General Xiao Yuan was not in Beiping, and he wanted to bully other orphans and widows. The princess was also worried about the county lord. Those jumping beams and small enemies, who used to want to use selfish means to calculate the county lord and General Xiao Yuan, are now using such unseemly methods to sow discord, if anyone really believes this kind of stupid words, then they still have it?! ”

Xie Mulin's heart moved slightly, and he felt that Aunt Wu's words seemed to imply something. Could it be ...... Is it Mrs. Xu's gang who released the rumors this time? But what's the point of her doing this kind of thing?

Xie Mulin said to Wu Qiongye: "Even if Second Brother Xiao's whereabouts are lost for a while, and the guessers are a little cranky, when the news of the Queen Mother's trip north comes out in a few days, the world will naturally know how ridiculous the rumors are." Even if those villains who deliberately sow discord can temporarily deceive a few foolish people, they can't deceive people for a lifetime. When the time comes, those people know that they have been deceived, how can they believe the rumors of others again? ”

Wu Qiongye smiled and said: "The truth is this, it's just that the county lord is concerned about it, and he desperately wants to investigate the source of the rumors as soon as possible, so that those villains with ill intentions can be sent to justice." ”

Xie Mulin simply said what he didn't understand: "I can't figure it out, what are these people trying to do?" If the matter is big, Yan Wangfu will definitely not let them go, but the rumors they put will soon be clarified, which is tantamount to wasting their efforts and putting themselves into the pit. What's the point of such a thing? ”

Wu Qiongye thought for a while: "Some people just want to block the prince and princess, even if they are not profitable, they have to be happy." It's just that such a person is always a little confused and willing to help her, even if she is unlucky after the incident, she feels that she is being loyal. Such people don't make sense, and the prince and princess are just working their young juniors, striving to stop their foolish thoughts from going down. ”

Xie Mulin raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Where is the charm of those people themselves that can attract people to fight for allegiance?" To put it bluntly, it's just because of the shadow of the ancestors. But can they really represent the wishes of their ancestors? Is it true that those who intend to follow in the footsteps of their ancestors have only one way to do their best? ”

Wu Qiongye did not answer. She sensed that something seemed to be hinting at in Shemulin's words. She will truthfully relay the other party's words to Princess Yan, but she won't comment much.

Seeing this, Xie Mulin simply changed the topic: "Second Brother Xiao is in the capital, everything is going well, right?" When the princess talked to my mother before, she only talked about it in general terms, but she didn't mention whether Second Brother Xiao encountered any difficulties in the capital, and whether there was anything about being knighted...... I don't know if there is a result? ”

As soon as Wu Qiongye heard it, she knew that Xiao Rui had told the girl everything, but fortunately, the girl had a tight mouth and kept the secret for him. She couldn't help but laugh in her heart, and secretly sighed that Xiao Rui's child was really like his own mother, once there was someone in her heart, she would believe in each other with full eyes. It's a pity, King Yan is actually similar in temperament, if Xiao Rui is the son of King Yan and Xiao Mingzhu, wouldn't it be better? Why does providence want to make people......

Wu Qiongye was slightly distracted, and then he settled down and said: "The prince is all right in the capital, and he has not encountered any special difficulties. The Queen Mother, the Emperor, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, and the princes of the clan are all very good to him. He also had a quick meeting with several princes in the palace and officially met them as cousins. Several other highnesses were taken aback by his background, only the third highness was the most affectionate, and it seemed that he had known his identity for a long time, and he repeatedly mentioned the friendship between the two when they were children. However, the emperor didn't let His Royal Highness say too much to the prince, so he sent the prince away. As for the knighthood...... she paused, "it hasn't been settled yet." The emperor refused to give permission, but the queen mother mentioned it twice, and it was not good to mention it a third time for the time being. ”

It sounds like Xiao Rui's trip to the capital was not very smooth, but it can be determined that the Queen Mother's trip to Beiping is even if the basic task has been completed.

But what about the four princes? Will the Queen Mother bring the four princes with her?

Xie Mulin looked at Wu Qiongye, unsure if she knew Xiao Rui's idea. However, Xiao Rui had already discussed with King Yan and his wife, and King Yan and Princess Yan would definitely agree. Maybe Xiao Rui will mention this in the letter, but she will read the letter later.

Wu Qiongye chatted with Xie Mulin for a while, and the Xiang Wen family sent someone to invite the former, saying that they had summoned all the maids and daughters-in-law in the family for her to review. Wu Qiongye politely said goodbye to Xie Mulin, and left with Yahuan. Xie Mulin hurriedly retreated, went into the bedroom by himself, and took out the letter in his sleeve to take a closer look.

As Princess Yan said, Xiao Rui quickly entered Beijing, met the eldest princess of Yongning smoothly, and then entered the palace to meet the queen mother, and determined the queen mother's northward trip. Even the Yanwang Mansion prepared to sort out the Zizhu Courtyard and give the Queen Mother a suggestion to live in the summer, which was also approved by the Queen Mother. However, the Queen Mother still has to go to the Forbidden City first to take a turn and officially stay in Cining Palace. After living in, even if she immediately moved into the courtyard and garden arranged for her by King Yan's Mansion after only a day or two, the meaning was different. But she had no intention of living in the Yan Palace, and probably didn't want to live in the residence of the Yan Wang Concubine before her death. Even in Zizhu Courtyard, she hopes to change to a place where the old lady has never lived.

When it comes to ethical relationships, the old lady is actually the mother-in-law of the Queen Mother. Although the Queen Mother has never waited for this mother-in-law in her life, she still has a little jealousy in her heart.
