Chapter 17: Birth (4)

Soon, there was a steady stream of news from the Middle Palace of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Qian Zhong is really an experienced person, and he reported to Yun Xiao in detail what he was going to do in the Yongning Palace to organize a birthday banquet in the Yongning Palace.

Yun Xiao integrated this period of time, and the news from the Internal Affairs Mansion did not find anything abnormal, but it was all ordinary things used by the concubines to hold banquets.

Despite this, Yun Xiao was still faintly uneasy in his heart.

So, she sent a message to Qian Zhong and asked him to secretly pay attention to the Queen Mother's Shou'an Palace and the correspondence between the Internal Affairs Office during this time.

Sure enough, new discoveries soon followed.

According to the news sent by Qian Zhong, Yun Xiao found that in the Empress Dowager's palace, she was secretly preparing some of the supplies needed for the banquet, among which most of them were food.

But counting the days, there is still a long time before the Queen Mother's birthday, and there are no major festivals in the near future, so the Queen Mother does not need to prepare for these things, so ...... She is preparing these things now, is she going to use them at Hua Tingruo's birthday banquet?

What exactly does the Queen Mother want to do?

If it is really as I guessed, the Queen Mother and Hua Tianruo are not in harmony, just because the Queen Mother's promise to support Hua Tianruo to enter the middle palace failed, and Hua Tianruo is secretly dissatisfied with the Queen Mother, even if the Queen Mother knows, she will not want Hua Tianruo's life, after all, ...... No matter how arrogant Hua Tian is, it is not a threat from the Queen Mother.

So, the person the Queen Mother really wants to deal with is actually her Yun Xiao?!

The result of this speculation couldn't help but make Yun Xiao feel cold all over his body.

Just when Yun Xiao was deeply immersed in his own thinking and couldn't get out, Qianyue's voice came from outside, "Niangniang, the emperor has arrived!" ”

Yun Xiao heard the sound, put away these thoughts, put away the news that Qian Zhong handed in, got up and came to the main hall outside to pick up the driver, "The concubines welcome the emperor, long live my emperor......

Here, Xia Rui didn't wait for Yun Xiao to finish speaking, so he reached out to help Yun Xiao up, and said with a smile

"No need to salute, let's go inside and talk!"

At that time, it was already dark outside, and Yun Xiao didn't know if Xia Rui had eaten dinner, so he asked, "Has the emperor eaten at night?" ”

"I've eaten at Concubine Gao'......" Xia Rui said with some interest, "Concubine Gao has been pestering me for a long time, and I finally got the opportunity to come out, thinking of you, I came to you!" Hahahahaha......ha

The Queen Mother wanted to stuff her mother's family to Xia Rui, and also gave three newcomers as gifts, Xia Rui was irritable and stunned not to order them to sleep, so every time he talked about the concubine, he was extremely happy, as if he had seen the Queen Mother jumping angrily.

Yun Xiao smiled silently, sat on the chair beside him, and handed him a hot cup of tea.

Xia Rui stretched out his hand to take it, took two sips, and continued

"This high concubine, every day to bother me, today, I was at her place, she actually said that the drum can be a pleasure to eat, so, while I eat, she drum, alas...... Her drumming skills, festive is festive, it's just too weird! How could this woman from the Gao family be so strange?! You say, this good concubine, she is not right, she has to surrender her identity, be a music dance girl, a good meal, she doesn't eat it while it's hot, she has to wait for me to finish eating, the dishes are cold, she goes to eat leftovers again, she ...... She...... Is she having a particularly miserable time in the Gao family?! ”

Yun Xiao thought that Gao Concubine was probably because she had not succeeded in serving the bed, so she found another way and came up with such a trick to attract Xia Rui, who knows, now she is being told to Yun Xiao by Xia Rui as a joke, and Yun Xiao is almost laughing after listening to it.

She covered her lips with a veil, her eyes narrowed into slits, and she didn't utter a word for a long time.

Seeing this, Xia Rui also laughed along.

Yun Xiao laughed for a long time, and the first sentence he said was "Wait for the day, you come to the concubine to dine, and the concubine will also give you a drum when you eat, but the concubine will not be a drummer, and it will definitely not be festive, hehehehe......"

When Xia Rui heard this, he immediately glared at Yun Xiao and said, "Presumptuous!" If you learn the high concubine drumming, I will invite the high concubine to come to the drumming when you are eating, and see if you can eat it! ”

Yun Xiao hurriedly said, "That's right, pull you to listen to the concubine's drums, the concubine definitely doesn't want to give the concubines drums, at that time, her craftsmanship will definitely be even worse than the crow's crows......"

"You ......" Xia Rui couldn't say anything to Yun Xiao, so he could only stare at Yun Xiao dryly, and warned Yun Xiao with his eyes to be more obedient.

Yun Xiao got up, took the jade flute given to her by her master, and her beautiful eyes turned, and under the light in the hall, a blurry light flashed.

Under Xia Rui's slightly surprised gaze, she began to blow the flute.

She played a song "Qingyu Case", and the sound of Yun Xiao's flute was tactful with a shallow indifference, which had a calming power and would not make people feel depressed and sad.

Xia Rui sank into the sound of the flute, his eyes were straight, and his soul didn't know where to fly.

He had never seen Yun Xiao, in his image, Yun Xiao was just a woman who was extremely wise because she loved to read, her dignified and steady was based on her pursuit of knowledge, but he never thought that his wife would know so much about rhythm.

At the end of the song, Xia Rui was surprised and delighted, "Xiao'er, you can play the flute, and you can play better than the musicians in the palace, you ...... You ......"

He couldn't find any words to describe his beloved wife.

Yun Xiao put down the jade flute in his hand, walked in front of Xia Rui, and said with a smile, "Okay, you've listened to it, my song is an apology for you, don't be angry anymore!" ”

When Xia Rui heard this, he was cunning, he reached out and pulled Yun Xiao to his side and sat down, looked at Yun Xiao fixedly, and said, "Now you know it's wrong?" Say, what else will you do, I don't know? ”

Yun Xiao smiled lightly and said, "No, that's all there is ......"

"I don't believe it, the queen invites pets and charms the king, and it should be dealt with according to the palace rules!"

"Then you let go of the concubine, and the concubine will be punished!"

Where is Xia Rui willing to "I'm going to punish you personally, and you still want to hide?!" ”

As he spoke, he leaned towards Yun Xiao.

Yun Xiao's face was full of crimson, and he hurriedly said something else, "The concubine has something serious to say......

Xia Rui was very disappointed when he heard this, he frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Yun Xiao said, "Concubine Li's birthday is coming, that day...... Are you going to her palace? ”

Xia Rui said this one day, and he felt uncomfortable, "Good and decent, what are you doing about this?" Aren't there two more days? ”

"On that day, the concubine will also go!"

When Xia Rui heard this, his eyebrows jumped, "What are you going to do?" ”
