When Su Man and Xie arrived at the Compassion Courtyard, the subordinates all stood under the corridor with their hands down.

Xie Shi and Su Man glanced at each other, and then stepped into the courtyard.

When Zhou's mother saw the two of them coming, she hurriedly responded and said in a low voice: "Madame and the girl are here, the old lady is inside at this moment, you two should go in quickly." ”

Xie Shi answered and walked to the main room, but Su Man was a little strange, and took a step slower and asked Zhou's mother in a low voice: "Why isn't my mother serving inside, but what happened?" ”

Mother Zhou raised her eyes and glanced at the half-open window sash in the main room, and sighed lowly: "The girl will know when she goes in." ”

Su Man wondered even more in her heart, she hadn't heard the original owner say what was going on in the house at this time.

Entering the main room, Mrs. Su was sitting alone on the big kang near the window in the west room, there was no maid and wife in the room to serve, only she sat alone.

Mother Zhou sent Xie's mother and daughter into the house, then bowed down and retreated, and closed the partition door of the main room tightly.

Xie Shi glanced back at Su Man, signaling her not to talk nonsense, and then slowly walked into the west room, and bent his knees slightly towards Old Madam Su: "Mother, what's wrong, but what's wrong?" ”

Old Madam Su's originally slightly closed eyes slowly opened, and she raised her hand and beckoned: "You sit down first, let's talk slowly." ”

Xie Shi answered yes and sat down on the kang, and Su Man also sat down on the pestle on the side.

Old Madam Su looked at Su Man sideways, her eyes were very complicated: "Our sister Man is also ten years old, and she is also ten years old. ”

Old Madam Su's voice was very low: "I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing for Sister Man'er to get older every day. ”

Su Man hadn't heard the meaning of Old Madam Su's words yet, but Xie Shi had heard it.

Her face froze, leaned forward slightly, and asked, "Mother means ......?"

Old Madam Su knew that Xie understood what she meant, and nodded slightly.

Xie Shi immediately collapsed as if he had suffered some heavy blow, and muttered, "Can't you dodge?" ”

Su Man heard it a little misty: "Grandmother, what happened?" ”

Old Madam Su looked at her granddaughter, who was still a little ignorant, sighed lightly, and said with a wry smile: "Someone from the palace just came to spread the word, saying that I want to take you into the palace tomorrow to meet the queen mother." ”

Empress?

Su Man frowned and thought for a while, the original owner once said that there are two queens before and after the current emperor, and now at this time, she should still be the first queen.

She seemed to remember this queen, surnamed Ji.

Seeing that Su Man didn't have any special reaction, Old Madam Su sighed again and continued: "The current queen mother is the sister of Ji Ge Lao, that is, the aunt of Ji Erlang, who is good friends with your brother. ”

Su Man was stunned, she said Where have you heard the surname Ji, it turns out that Lu Yan still has some friendship with the queen's mother's family.

"Queen Ji is a kind person, but she is a very good person." Old Madam Su continued to say slowly: "Now that she has handed over the letter, it must be that the emperor has something in mind. ”

"Well, I called your mother and daughter here to make you prepared. In two days, he will follow me into the palace to meet the queen mother. ”

……

In the past few days, the Hanlin Academy has to rebuild the history books of the previous dynasty, so Lu Yan has not had time to take a look at Su Man in the past few days.

At this moment, he was lying on the bookcase and carefully proofreading the copy, completely unaware of when Ji Yang came over.

Ji Yang supported the unified bookcase of the Hanlin Academy with his elbow, looked at Lu Yan for a while, and saw that he really didn't find himself, so he stretched out his finger and poked him in the shoulder.

Lu Yan was startled, hurriedly looked up, and saw that the person who came was Ji Yang, so he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slowly: "You have finished reading all the parts you want to proofread today, and you are so leisurely." ”

Ji Yang glanced left and right, lowered his voice and said, "You always read like this, your eyes will be bad, accompany me to the courtyard for a turn, rest for a while and come back." ”

Lu Yan turned his head and glanced around at the people in the room who were still immersed in reading, sighed lowly, put the scroll in his hand, and then went out with Ji Yang.

Ji Yang's identity is unknown to anyone in the Hanlin Academy, so it can be said that no one dares to stop him when he walks sideways in the Hanlin Academy.

At this time, the two of them went out, and although some people were dissatisfied in private, no one dared to say anything.

Lu Yan followed Ji Yang along the corridor to a secluded place with few people, and then Ji Yang stopped and pulled Lu Yan to sit down on the frieze of the corridor.

"What do you want to tell me, you mysterious god?" Lu Yan knew that although Ji Yang acted informally on weekdays, he was definitely not a person without a purpose.

"Yesterday my mother went to see my aunt, and my aunt had something to say." Ji Yang lowered his voice very low, as if he was still a little uneasy, and looked left and right again to make sure that no one was eavesdropping, and then continued: "Aunt said, yesterday Your Majesty suddenly asked about your sister, saying that she should be ten years old now, and in two years it will be the age of marriage, and I don't know if the Su family has made a decision." ”

Lu Yan heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What else did Your Majesty say?" ”

Ji Yang signaled him not to worry, and lowered his voice again: "Our Ji family and the Xie family also have some friendship, my aunt heard Your Majesty's question, and she understood what Your Majesty meant, so she smiled and said that the Su family is such a concubine, she is very expensive, and she will not decide on someone so early." ”

"Your Majesty also nodded when he heard his aunt say this, and said that he hadn't seen Mrs. Su for a long time, so he asked my aunt to invite Mrs. Su and your sister into the palace in a few days, and talk well."

The more Lu Yan listened, the more gloomy his face became, he formed his hands into fists, pressed his knees, and tried to control his emotions.

Ji Yang also saw Lu Yan's anger, sighed lightly, and said, "My aunt knows that the Su family is definitely unwilling for her own girl to enter the palace, and who knows the pain in the palace more clearly than her." ”

"Auntie's meaning is to tell you to go back and talk to the Su family about this matter in detail, the matter of the old lady's entry into the palace is irreversible, but the marriage of the Su family girl should also think about it, and now you can use your young age to shirk one or two, and in a few years, I am afraid it will be difficult to shirk."

Ji Yang's face was also helpless, what this noble family was most afraid of was these things.

Lu Yan stood up suddenly, and bowed deeply to Ji Yang.

"Thank you, Brother Zhongming, the Ji family is so gracious, I, Lu Yan, will never forget it. In the future, if there is a place to be useful, you should go to the soup and go to the fire, and you will not hesitate! ”
