Just after the beginning of the day, a eunuch hurriedly ran into Zhou Hong's bedroom.

"What are you doing, frizzy, Your Majesty is resting." Gonggong Chen scolded the little eunuch in a low voice.

When the little eunuch heard this, he glanced inside, shrunk his neck, and lowered his voice; "The queen has returned to the palace, didn't you send a little one to watch at the palace gate before?"

Oh, when Gonggong Chen heard it, he remembered it.

"See clearly? All back? Concubine Yu and the three imperial concubines are all back together? Gonggong Chen asked again uneasily.

"If you go back to the general manager, the little one can see it very clearly, the queen mother, Yu Guifei, and the third imperial concubine are all back, that is, the ninth highness who went with him did not come back." The little eunuch replied in a whisper.

Gonggong Chen shook his head; "It's okay if His Royal Highness the Ninth didn't come back, His Majesty told His Highness the Ninth that he was over there, okay, it's none of your business, go out."

Watching the little eunuch leave, Gonggong Chen hesitated for a moment, but still raised his feet and entered the inner room.

Emperor Zhou Hong was lying on the couch, looking at it with his eyes closed, but he wasn't sure if he was really asleep.

"What?" Although Gonggong Chen had already taken a very careful step, Zhou Hong still heard it.

"Back to Your Majesty, someone from below just came to report that the queen and the mother have all returned, and it is estimated that they are coming here at this time." Chen Gonggong returned.

Hearing this, Zhou Hong opened his eyes and got up to stay, and Gonggong Chen hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to help put on his boots.

Zhou Hong himself also tidied up the dragon robe and raised his hand to straighten the crown.

Only then did he walk outside, sit down, and motioned for Father-in-law Chen to serve tea.

Sure enough, before the time for a cup of tea arrived, the queen Shangguan Xia came, alone.

Zhou Hong glanced at Gonggong Chen, Gonggong Chen raised his feet and went out, but he didn't forget to close the door with his hand.

In the dormitory, there are two people, the emperor and the queen.

"The concubine came back late, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." Shangguan Xia said with some apprehension in her heart.

Zhou Hong beckoned her to sit beside him; "There is no one else here, and there is no need to be like those ministers, who will say forgiveness as soon as they see me. Over there, how? ”

Hearing his tone and his expression at this time, Shangguan Xia breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

"Your Majesty, that Mrs. Xue seems to be easy-going, but some things are leaky, and she has never revealed her tone at all, and the concubine is too useless." Shangguan Xia said very ashamedly.

Hearing this, Zhou Hong did not have a look of disappointment on his face; "Queen, don't be in a hurry to blame yourself, Xue Wenyu's lady is really not simple." He told the queen about Mu Yingbao's life experience, how he married Xue Wenyu, and how he raised the current emperor of Yanguo alone in Youcheng.

Once, about this Mrs. Xue, he and the queen heard some bits and pieces.

After knowing that she also came here with Xue Wenyu this time, Zhou Hong ordered someone to compile the information about this Mrs. Xue.

"So, the former emperor of Yanguo's 'stench for 10,000 years' is true, isn't it an exaggerated rumor?" Shangguan Xia listened to it, and she also admired the little woman in her heart. Android

Zhou Hong nodded; "It is said that the rumors cannot be believed, and the more exaggerated they are, the more evil they become, but it seems that what is about this Mrs. Xue is not false. If she were an ordinary little woman, it is estimated that Xue Wenyu would not come here to fight and bring her. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, didn't you see that when the concubine and others went, Xue Wenyu hadn't set off yet, and his wife actually urged him, saying that the time to leave was coming. Also, before sending him away, she, she even kissed Xue Wenyu in front of me and waited, kissing here. Empress Shangguan Xia pointed her finger on her face while learning, and tapped it somewhere.

"What? Is she really like that? Zhou Hong was also very surprised when he heard it.

Shangguan Xia nodded, what she saw with her own eyes, how could it be fake.

Seeing that the emperor heard such gossip, the emperor was not impatient, and Shangguan Xia continued to talk about what she had seen and heard over there, how Mrs. Xue treated them, and how she got along with the people below. The point is also to say how luxuriously the big tent where Mrs. Xue and his wife live, and even the trivial matter of the reeds inserted in the vase in the corner of the wall has not been missed.

Outside the dormitory, Gonggong Chen stood by the door, not letting anyone approach, he thought that the queen and the emperor were talking about something very important.

didn't know at all that the couple with the highest status in Xixiang were talking about gossip.

"The concubine is really stupid, she really can't tell her reaction and attitude, whether she is deliberately disguised or real. Speaking of disguise, then she is really powerful enough, because her words and deeds are really too natural.

But if it weren't for disguise, what did she mean by being so close to her concubines and others? Almost said that, Shangguan Xia was ashamed again.

"By the way, also, didn't Ying'er say that the food made by their chef is delicious? The concubine ate it today, and it is true. It's the same ingredients as ours, but the taste of the dishes is much more delicious than what we make in the imperial dining room.

Ying'er, oh, he stayed there and didn't go back with the concubine. Shangguan Xia said as she spoke, and suddenly realized that she shouldn't have said it, for example, her son's lunch over there at noon.

Although it is not enough to gobble it up regardless of Sven, it is the first time that Shangguan Xia has seen her son eat so deliciously.

It's as if in the thirteen years of Xixiang, someone has been deprived of food.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Xia suddenly wanted to laugh.

Why didn't I find out before that this son was so greedy!

Fortunately, Zhou Hong was reviewing what the queen had described over and over again about Mrs. Xue's attitude and reaction, trying to deduce what Yanguo meant. Therefore, I didn't notice what the queen was hiding at all.

"By the way, do you remember what I told you? Tempted? Zhou Hong suddenly remembered.

Shangguan Xia then remembered that she forgot to tell the emperor; "The concubine said it, when she said it, Xue Guogong was also present and hadn't left, so he refused at that time." I also learned the original words to the emperor.

"He's quite direct, and this is like what a man with troops would say." Zhou Hong was not angry.

……

Outside the city, Nanzhu is also very puzzled; "Madame, why are you so enthusiastic about them, and invite them into the big tent where you and your master live, and leave them for lunch. However, they will even agree, aren't they afraid that we will poison them with food? ”

Mu Yingbao smiled; "It's nothing, the reason is very simple, your master led the troops to fight, left me here, and didn't allow me to walk around, how boring it is for me not to have some fun. It just so happened that they came, and it felt quite pleasing to the eye when they came into contact, and I didn't think they hated it, so I had a good relationship with them, and I could pass the time. ”

"Ma'am, do you mean it really? Although Nanzhu is a servant girl, but madam, you know that I have read, so don't fool me. Nanzhu blinked her eyes, very questioning.

Mu Yingbao smiled even brighter, what a smart girl, she admits that she does have other plans for the queen and others.

However, this was only a preliminary idea, so she didn't want to tell ......
