The cuckoo sighed with emotion in his heart, and he was not so stupid as to be so blind, so he quickly shook his head and withdrew his hand by taking a step back.

She smiled and saluted Su Jiao first, and the people behind her were already busy cleaning up the carriage.

"No need, thank you Mrs. Xiao for your kindness, then please bother to train them, the queen still needs the slave to reply, and the slave and maid will not bother much."

"Okay, then aunt go slowly."

Seeing this, Su Jiao's joy in her heart was almost impossible to hide on the surface, which made Du Juan feel uncomfortable for a while, and turned her head and hurried back to the palace.

However, after the cuckoo left, Su Jiao's expression became gloomy at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even Xiao Huai'an, who came back next, didn't bother to pay attention to it, so he went back to the house first.

Mu Hibiscus and Mu Rong found a carriage in the alley next to the mansion and sent the dozen or so beautiful girls to Zhuangzi under Xiao Huai'an's name to do things, and when they came back, they happened to see this scene, and several people were very puzzled.

"Mrs. is in a bad mood today, maybe it's because the queen mother sent a beauty over, and my lord cherishes it." Mu Hibiscus and Mu Rong walked behind her, and they were especially kind enough to remind her. Xiao Huai'an stood in front and heard clearly, nodded slightly, and saw Su Jiao who was losing her temper in the small garden in the front hall.

"What do you mean, it's quite kind to look at the queen on weekdays, this time it seems like a good thing to send me out in a hurry, and help you think about the way out, at that time, several beauties are all very smart, you think it's enough."

Su Jiao held a pair of scissors in her hand, pruning the peach tree that had lost all its leaves in a disorderly manner, and with a flick of her hand, she cut off one of the two thickest branches on it, and threw it in front of Xiao Huai'an.

Xiao Huai'an raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect Su Jiao to be so angry today, but at the same time, she was a little more funny in her heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the scissors from her hands, and persuaded her to take someone back to the house and sit down

"Okay, it's windy outside, and it's going to make my mother-in-law feel distressed if it's not cold, so sit down and rest, let the poor peach tree rest too, and the hibiscus shouldn't hurry up and pour hot tea."

Saying that, he pressed Su Jiao to the seat and sat down, Xiao Huaian finally couldn't help but show a bright smile, Su Jiao saw it in his eyes, and the more and more part of his heart raised his hand to hit him

"People are upset, you're still laughing here, you're embarrassed."

"But Mrs. Lao has worked hard to help me solve such a big trouble, but I didn't expect Mrs. to care about her husband so much, so that she is flattered by her husband, and she will definitely remember it in her heart and never forget it."

After that, Su Jiao was stunned when she heard this, and when she looked at Xiao Huai'an with a tactful look, her heart felt as if she had missed a beat, and turned her head to casually raise a cup of hot tea that hibiscus didn't have time to put down and hold it in her hand

"Who, who cares about you, I'm just defending the majesty of my main palace."

"However, in fact, you don't need to be so sad, the queen mother is the lord of the six palaces, and she will definitely do anything that is beneficial to His Majesty, so naturally for her, it is no longer a matter of sacrificing one or two people."

Mu Hibiscus glanced at Su Jiao in a daze, and had no choice but to put the tea that was originally prepared for her in front of Xiao Huai'an, Xiao Huai'an also raised the cup, and mentioned it casually. When Su Jiao heard this, her heart became more and more uncomfortable.

"This is natural, and it has not touched her own interests, so she naturally does not hesitate."

"But I heard that yesterday afternoon, there was an accident in the palace, and the plan to come to the queen mother fell through."

Su Jiao pouted and muttered dissatisfiedly, and Xiao Huai'an's next sentence completely lost her appetite, her eyes opened in an instant, and she turned her head sideways with gossip, asking Xiao Huai'an with an expectant face.

"How so? Could it be that His Majesty intends to confront Wenren and not agree to his request? I've already thought about letting someone else take this trip for me. ”

"Well, sort of."

Faced with Su Jiao's curious question, Xiao Huai'an thought for a while, but did not deny it, Su Jiao became more and more happy, and couldn't help but pat it twice with one hand on the desk.

"That's interesting, after all, Your Majesty still cares more about face. Who is the one who has decided to replace me? I want to know which unlucky guy it is, let's take some time, and we have to prepare a generous gift to thank them. ”

Su Jiao said it was more naughty, but she also knew that few people who were sent out to kiss would have a good end, so the last sentence still carried a lot of sorry.

And Xiao Huai'an remembered the news he heard in the palace during the day today, but he didn't think that this person had anything to sympathize with.

"It's the county lord of Pingcheng in the Duke's Mansion of Pingcheng, Zhou Hongyan, but if she says it, you'd better not think about giving gifts and thanks, I'm afraid that the Duchess won't accept your favor."

"How could it be her? It's beating too much, isn't it? Su Jiao was stunned for a moment, always thinking that with the past glory of the Duke of Pingcheng's Mansion, she should not fall here, but thinking about it in another direction, it seems that she is indeed the most suitable candidate.

Xiao Huai'an took a sip of tea, and seeing that she was so puzzled, she opened her mouth and told him what she had heard.

It turned out that yesterday afternoon, the county lord of Pingcheng learned that he was about to marry as a righteous princess, and had a big quarrel with the duchess, and then he actually chased him to the upper study in person and asked the emperor to take back his fate.

Emperor Xu Huayin, the reason why he chose to make Zhou Hongyan a candidate for harmony naturally had some considerations in his heart, but he didn't expect Zhou Hongyan to be so bold and chased him directly to the upper study, so that he was helpless.

"Yan'er, this time with your family is very important, it is because I believe that the center of your Pingcheng Duke's Mansion has entrusted such an important task to you. Besides, this matter has already been decided, and it will be announced in the near future, and if you let me change my hexagram at this time, won't it make the people of the world laugh at me and not believe it. ”

The emperor casually perfunctory, with his hands behind his back, he turned around helplessly, but quietly made a look, and asked Dequan to prepare to send Zhou Hongyan away.

Zhou Hongyan didn't know, kneeling down and crying a handful of snot and tears, she kowtowed on the ground several times in a row, but she was afraid that she had not been so diligent and filial to her biological parents.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has watched Yan'er grow up since she was a child, why can't Tunxi treat Yan'er like her own daughter now, this matter is not Your Majesty alone, how can it be inconvenient to change it?"

As soon as these words came out, even Dequan, who was accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, couldn't stand being stunned for a moment, that is, Zhou Hongyan dared to say such a thing because she had been spoiled since she was a child, if it weren't for the fact that she had the Duke's Mansion behind her, I was afraid that she would have been disposed of several times since she was a child.

Dequan turned his head and glanced at the emperor, who was obviously a little impatient, and had a great intention of shirking. "Since you know that I have loved you since I was a child, you should have the consciousness of being the county lord, otherwise, wouldn't it be in vain for me to value your Duke's Mansion family. Dequan, send Princess Gulun out. ”

The word Gulun is a title set by the emperor himself, which means that he hopes that she will stabilize the party. The emperor had already had this plan, and he couldn't change it no matter what.

"Princess Gulun, please." Dequan muttered in his heart, raised his hand and was about to drag Zhou Hongyan up, but unexpectedly, Zhou Hongyan saw that the emperor did not listen to his request, so he shook his hand and opened his hand, turned around and took out a scroll made of dark iron from the package he was carrying.

"Wait, even if Your Majesty doesn't look at the face of Yan'er and the Duke's Mansion, let's take a look at this Danshu iron coupon!"

What an important artifact is the Danshu Iron Coupon, how could it appear on her body? As soon as Zhou Hongyan's wild words came out, the emperor and Dequan were shocked.

As soon as the emperor turned around, he saw that the Xuantie document held by Zhou Hongyan was full of words engraved with serious gold threads of cinnabar, and there were patterns specially drawn by Emperor Taizu who built the Danshu iron coupon on the edge, which was absolutely infallible.

Several wrinkles appeared on Dequan's shocked forehead, and when he saw that the emperor above hesitated, he obediently retreated.

"This Danshu iron coupon was originally given by the first emperor to the courtier's family, it is said that it is equivalent to a gold medal to avoid death, and the courtiers specially returned this Danshu iron coupon to Your Majesty, only asking Your Majesty to agree to the courtier's request, cancel the will of the courtiers and the pro-Japanese country."

Zhou Hongyan swallowed his saliva and spoke with rare respect, he firmly dragged the Danshu iron coupon, looking at it must be iron-hearted.

And the emperor listened to her words, and after coming out of the initial surprise, he was replaced by a burst of joy in his heart.

The Duke's Mansion is now an empty shelf with nothing to show for itself, and the emperor has already had a headache for a long time because of the empty food and salary, but because there is this Danshu iron coupon in the house, the emperor has not been able to do it, and now Zhou Hongyan is for her own business, please give up all the remaining wealth and wealth in the Duke's Palace, which is how can the emperor not be happy.

"Ah-" After listening to Xiao Huai'an's narration, Su Jiao was completely speechless, and could only use modal words instead.

"Although it may be a little unkind to say this, I still think that Your Majesty's move is quite ruthless, I thought he was just solving the matter of harmony, but I didn't expect him to kill two birds with one stone, it is simply clever."

Su Jiao took a deep breath, she couldn't think of any words to describe the emperor, but Xiao Huai'an next to her only cared about drinking tea, and didn't reply for a long time, she couldn't help but turn her eyes a little bored, but suddenly turned her head back and looked at Xiao Huai'an with her chin in one hand.

"And he finally agreed?"

Hearing this, Xiao Huai'an smiled lightly and slowly put down the teacup.
