Chapter 117 is the same and different

"The third princess is kind-hearted and filial, and after learning that her aunt is sick, she has been taking care of her clothes, and she is a little haggard when she is tired, so she stays in the city to recuperate, and visits the countess by the way."

Mrs. Lin's voice landed, and no one answered, which was a little embarrassing, and the queen didn't really care much about Zhang Yuge's situation, and Su Jiao had to say it so that everyone would know.

"So that's the case, that's really a pity, Mrs. Xiao has always had the best relationship with the third princess and the countess, and she must have come out today, and she has always been worried about it."

Hearing this, Mrs. Lin politely praised her first, Su Jiao smiled lightly and didn't say much, and the others were not in a hurry to speak, so that the atmosphere that had eased a little just now stiffened again.

The countess and Zhang Yuge are friendly with Su Jiao, and they can also be regarded as the backing of Su Jiao and other ladies when they talk, and they all help each other, but today the two of them are not there, if Mrs. Su is famous for not liking to talk with those sour and rotten ladies, it is not the same as letting Su Jiao face the cynicism of those who are ready to move.

The Duchess of Pingcheng didn't know why, listening to the words of the two, she glanced at them with some disdain, obviously looking down on anyone. All the ladies also had their own thoughts, but Concubine Xian squeezed out a bright smile and looked at Su Jiao very kindly.

"Speaking of which, Mrs. Xiao is still a bride who has not been married for a long time, and in the past few months, I don't know how Mrs. and adults get along, but just look at Mrs.'s complexion should be good, and the clothes in this body are refreshing and simple, and they will not be rude, and I don't know which cloth village Mrs. is looking for to make it?"

As soon as these words came out, all the ladies turned their eyes to Su Jiao's direction, some of them were curious and some were puzzled, Su Jiao faced everyone's scrutiny, stood up and returned the salute first.

"Thank you for the compliment, but I didn't find someone to make this dress, so it's not very clear."

"Oh? In that case, it was given to you by Lord Xiao," Concubine Xian glanced at it and deliberately put on a very surprised look, Su Jiao couldn't deny it, so she nodded.

"Oh, that's really a blessing, with such a loving husband, no wonder Mrs. Xiao would rather marry Lord Xiao in the first place."

As soon as these words came out, almost everyone changed their faces.

At the beginning, Su Jiao had a quarrel with Xu Rulie for the marriage contract, and the whole city heard about it, and said that she would rather marry Xiao Huai'an, although the marriage between Su Jiao and Xiao Huai'an was agreed by the emperor, but it can also be regarded as a compromise of the queen.

And now that Concubine Xian is actually bringing up the old things again, it is still in front of so many people, it is not equivalent to slapping the queen in the face in a trance, not to mention that Su Jiao and Xiao Huai'an are so affectionate, and it is an invisible mockery of the queen and Xu Rulie.

Su Jiao's face froze, and she couldn't care what others thought for the time being, so she just turned her head to look in the direction of the queen. Concubine Xian's words should just make the queen unhappy, but she mercilessly involved herself in the whirlpool, so Su Jiao must not have a good impression of her.

The queen took a heavy breath, and although her expression did not change, her face was angry with Concubine Xian's words. Su Jiao sighed in her heart, it was really easy to step on the queen's thunder if she was not careful, and at this time, she especially couldn't defend herself, the queen was unhappy, and whatever she said would only add fuel to the fire.

Just as she didn't know how to break this deadlock, Mrs. Li, who was sitting on the side, couldn't see the queen being humiliated, and she couldn't move the virtuous concubine, so she simply led all the topics to Su Jiao.

"If it weren't for Concubine Xian's reminder, none of us would have thought of anything, why Lord Xiao would miss at the previous banquet, it turned out to be because of the deep affection with Mrs. Xiao and his wife."

When the words landed, Su Jiao's uncontrollable brows were raised high, and her eyes were full of shock when she looked at Mrs. Li.

This sister, is it really good for you to drive so blatantly?

"Ruthless people are the most affectionate, I used to see that Lord Xiao was so selfless and righteous, it turned out that when I met Mrs. Xiao, there would be annoying emotions."

Su Jiao was shocked, and Mrs. Shang Shulin of the Ministry took the initiative to help answer a sentence, but she really couldn't tell whether she was an enemy or a friend.

"Although it is excusable, but Lord Xiao can't be too relaxed, anyway, there is still His Majesty's task on him, I just hope that Lord Xiao can be foolproof today."

Mrs. Li puffed up her eyes slightly and glared at Mrs. Lin, but Mrs. Lin successfully resisted only by the action of drinking tea.

"Lord Xiao did pass on the gods in the court before, but he is not an immortal at all, how can he do everything, not to mention that His Majesty is not the only one around, if everything is left to Lord Xiao alone, I am afraid that the iron body will not be able to support it for so long."

Concubine Xian's words made people feel a lot more happy, she turned her head to look at the queen, knowing that Mrs. Li and the queen were in the same boat before she deliberately said this, and the purpose was just to add to the queen's heart.

However, Concubine Xian's words can be regarded as helping Su Jiao find a step by mistake, and Su Jiao also pretended to lift the cup, and followed her words.

"Thank you for your compassion, just like today's drill on the outskirts of the city, the military camps here are all in charge of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and my Huai'an doesn't dare to take credit."

After that, Su Jiao raised the cup and tasted it, as if she opened the window to say a word to you, and closed the window again, so that people couldn't have time to refute.

Su Jiao didn't want to get involved in these miscellaneous relationships, but if someone hadn't started this and pressed step by step, she wouldn't have said it so decisively.

In addition, since the marriage contract with Xu Rulie was yellow, there was no involvement between himself and the queen, and the current peace was only maintained by being polite to each other.

Thinking about it, Su Jiao shook her head lightly by blowing air, Mrs. Li's heart was full of unhappiness when she heard it, and it was the queen above who raised her hand to stop that she finally shut up.

"What Mrs. Xiao said is also true, Lord Xiao always has what he can do, and today's trip must rely on the joint cooperation of all parties to be able to arrange it properly, and you don't always have to look forward to Lord Xiao."

The queen put her hand down gently, and what she said was very thoughtful, but this subtext was still angry, and she even looked down on Xiao Huai'an, and wanted to win some attention for her son.

Su Jiao slightly hooked the corners of her lips, she didn't put down this cup of tea after drinking it for a long time, and she had to wait for her to calm down the smile in her heart, so that she could be hypocritical in front of this group of women who were also thoughtful.

Soon after, when the sun outside was almost in the air, she heard a horn like a long whistle in the sky, and the queen took all the ladies to sit down in the stands on both sides.

The high platform here is very cleverly erected, even if you sit here, you can clearly see the soldiers who have lined up several squares below, which must have taken a lot of effort from the Ministry of Works.

The emperor stood in the center of the high platform, with his hands behind his back, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and his middle-aged face was also very radiant.

Looking at the queue below, the high-spirited Daze soldiers made the emperor can't help but remember the heroic appearance when he was young when he fought on the battlefield, and he was even more pleased with his efforts for so many years of diligent government.

"Today's array, Rulie is very well arranged, looking at these young people with high morale, I also feel as if I am more than ten years younger."

Hearing this, the old eunuch Dequan stood beside the emperor with a pole of dust, with a smile like chrysanthemum petals on his face.

"Your Majesty has a long life, and now it is in the prime of life, how can these soldiers compare. Even when His Majesty was a teenager, there are few young people under him who can compare, but only the three princes are both civil and military, but they have a little bit of His Majesty's original look. ”

"Dequan, I remember that when Rulie was a child, you were always very optimistic about him." The emperor lowered his eyes slightly, what the old eunuch Dequan meant, how could he not understand, as soon as he said this, Dequan hurriedly lowered his head. "The minions don't dare."

"What you said is right, but although Rulie still has some talent, it's just that his vision is too bad." As he spoke, the emperor shook his head lightly with deep regret.

"To say that among these princes of mine, Ruye's temper is the most stubborn, but he has a little bit of my former brilliance, but it's a pity that he is too young."

"The Sixth Prince?" The emperor said this casually, but Dequan felt a heavy blow on the head.

"The sixth prince is still young, although he looks lively and smart, but his biological mother Hui Zhaoyi ......"

The old eunuch Dequan deliberately said half and left half, and the emperor could guess the purpose at once, he nodded slightly, "The deeds are crazy, and the eyes are not respectful, right?" ”

"Hui Zhaoyi was originally born in the rivers and lakes, it is reasonable that she will be like this, but there are also benefits to having a low background, if the six princes can be so bold and bold in the future, they may be able to become the best able ministers to assist the new emperor."

For many reasons, the six princes will only miss the throne, and the old eunuch Dequan also knows it in his heart, but he is also worried that there will be accidents, so he deliberately said so.

And although the emperor understood where all his thoughts were, he didn't break it, but just waited with blazing eyes for the changing preparation ceremony of the formation below, and only spoke for a moment.

"I know what I know."

Seeing this, Dequan didn't say anything, and after a while, Xu Rulie and Xu Ruzhu all came over to stand beside the emperor, and then with a loud horn sound below, the drill officially began.

"The last general is forbidden, leading the fourteen battalions on the outskirts of Beijing, and presenting the twelve styles of the Bagua Array for our emperor, please watch Your Majesty."
