All the tributes were returned by the Great Yin Empire, this is the first time that these small countries have encountered such a thing, and the authorities of these small countries were stunned for a while, but they soon reacted, this is a difficult problem given to them by the Great Yin Empire, and if the answer is not good, I am afraid that the big fork of blood words is above their heads.

Are they afraid?

I may have been scared before.

But now.

The authorities of the small countries, those who had dissenting intentions and colluded with the Great Yin, secretly gathered and held a conspiracy meeting, after which all the people in power personally came to the Great Yin Empire with another batch of tribute.

This is what Yin Xuan said, the third guess.

They really dared to give her a third choice!

When Nie Qingwan heard the news, Da Yin had already entered the extreme winter, she was planning to go back to Nie's house to visit relatives, but she hadn't set off yet, Nie Yin had been packing up her things for the past two days, because going home to visit relatives was not a day or two, and she might have to live for a little and a half months, so Nie Yin had to pack up her things.

In fact, she doesn't have to clean up, she has her own yard in Nie's house, there is nothing there, there is everything, but Nie Yin has always done things properly, and she has to clean up before she is willing.

Nie Qingwan let her go.

Nie Yin went to be busy, Ren Ji was serving by Nie Qingwan's side, Yin Xuanzi was also serving every day, since he was selected by this little queen mother, he has been living in the Ci'en Palace, living next door to her, in her words, he is now her son, naturally he wants to live with her, he is still young, how can he be separated from his mother.

She had always said this, but Yin Xuan just didn't hear it.

If you want him to admit that she is his mother, she dreams about it.

Nie Qingwan wants to go back to Nie's house to visit relatives during the New Year, no one will stop her, and no one will say anything, in the past three years, she has not gone back once, she has been in the palace to accompany Emperor Yin Zu during the three years of the New Year's Festival, to tell the truth, Nie Qingwan has really done something that makes people unable to find fault with the three years that Emperor Yin Zu, that is, the Yin royal family has always liked to find fault with her, and there is nothing to say about this matter.

This year, Emperor Yin Zu was gone, she wanted to go home to visit her relatives, and the people of the Yin royal family did not stand up to embarrass her.

After all, she is only ten years old, to be honest, she is just a child, aside from her external title of queen mother, at this time she is the age of sprinkling joy around her parents' knees.

The Yin royal family also has their own affairs during the Chinese New Year, everyone is also busy, no one goes to find trouble with this little queen mother, Nie Qingwan thinks that this time she can finally go back to the Nie family to spend a quiet New Year.

As a result, the rulers of these small countries chose this time to pay tribute.

To say that they didn't mean it, Nie Qingwan didn't believe it.

Of course, the Sui Gong was originally sent over when the New Year was approaching, and it was understandable at this time, but the Sui Gong returned for more than half a month, and they didn't say that they would make up for it in time, so they had to grind until the New Year.

The north wind outside the door was howling non-stop, even if Nie Qingwan liked to play swings, she would not play in such a cold weather, she didn't go out today, she stayed in the Ci'en Palace to read books and watch the twists and turns.

Yin Xuan was still waiting next to her, grinding ink for her.

It turned out that Ren Ji and Nie Yin did all the work of grinding ink, and now they all let Yin Xuan do it for him, although Ren Ji also served on the side, but no longer studied ink, but handed over the text, or handed over the teacup, or handed over the book, or went to open the door and meet some people who came to pass the word.

When Ren Ji handed the news to Nie Qingwan, Nie Qingwan looked at the little face of the song and raised it suddenly, Yin Xuanzheng was holding the ink strip and grinding his hand slowly and methodically, he raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that these people were really dead, he looked at Nie Qingwan blindfolded, he wanted to know what the little queen mother would do.

Yin Xuan didn't speak, paused for a moment and then continued to study the ink again.

Nie Qingwan asked Ren Ji, "Have you already arrived in Dayin?" ”

Ren Ji said: "Not yet, but the letter of confession has arrived, and the people and tribute are still on the way." ”

The corners of Nie Qingwan's mouth pulled up a sneer, and she said slowly: "Oh, then go and tell the Gyeonggi Guard and the city gate guard, during the Chinese New Year, refuse all foreign ministers to enter the city, no matter what reason the foreign ministers enter the city, they will all be stopped, if there is a hard trespasser, it will be regarded as a crime of rebellion, and they will be killed on the spot." ”

As soon as the words 'kill on the spot' fell, Yin Xuan stopped his movements again.

Ren Ji was not shocked or frightened, but frowned and said, "I have to talk about this matter to the ministers, at least I have to talk to Nie Gong." ”

Nie Qingwan said: "No, my grandfather has already handed over this matter to me, I can't bother him anymore, the ministers turned a blind eye when they returned the tribute last time, just if they didn't see it, it means that they actually acquiesced in what grandfather did, they didn't say anything on the surface, but they may also be examining me behind their backs, they are examining whether I have the ability to be the queen mother, and assist them with a great monarch, if I pass them on, it shows that I can't even have this eyesight. Since they are watching from the wall to see how I deal with it, then I can't pass on my order anymore, you just have to pass on my order, that is, the Gyeonggi Guard and the City Gate Commander are all from my Nie Mansion, as long as you go to pass it, they will strictly enforce it, and there will be no leakage. ”

Ren Ji smiled and said yes, turned around and went out.

After he left, Yin Xuan spoke up and said, "What if those people make trouble in groups? ”

Nie Qingwan squinted at him: "You didn't understand what I just said?" Anyone who dares to break through will be regarded as a rebel and will be killed on the spot. ”

Yin Xuan said: "I understand what I heard, but I was a little worried." ”

Nie Qingwan asked, "What are you worried about?" ”

Yin Xuan said: "It's unlucky for the New Year. ”

Nie Qingwan understood, she suddenly shook the folded book she had just picked up, and looked at him: "You also know that someone will definitely break into the city gate without my orders?" ”

Yin Xuan smiled and said: "The Queen Mother is smart and can predict the prophet, but I can't, I just think that as the people in power, since they personally escorted the tribute, then they must not just want to be a simple guard, what they want to do is to explore the reality of Da Yin, others they are not at ease, because this matter is related to their future hegemony, they have to come in person, therefore, once they are intercepted outside the city gate, they will definitely have someone to do this peak, touch the scales, and see the reaction of the Great Yin Empire, so, seeing blood, it is inevitable." ”

Nie Qingwan looked at Yin Xuan, her little hand held her chin again, and she said with a smile: "I really didn't choose you wrong." ”

Yin Xuan pursed her lips, afraid that she would say something disgusting like 'son, you are really great', so she immediately continued: "Is it really okay to see blood like this?" ”

Nie Qingwan withdrew her hand, her young body was nested in the tall and big phoenix chair like that, she could understand what Yin Xuan meant by asking, of course he was not asking such a simple and obvious word as seeing blood, what he asked was, is it really okay to kill those people? Yes, those people are not ordinary people, they are the kings of a country, even if the kings of this country are nothing in the eyes of his rulers in Dayin, but they are in their country, which is supreme and inviolable, and they died in the territory of Da Yin for no reason, and when they were sending tribute, how can they not arouse the anger of the citizens of those small countries?

That's what those in power are thinking, right?

I thought she didn't dare to kill them, I thought she didn't dare to arouse the anger of the people, I thought she would swallow her anger!

Scold.

They probably really thought she was just a ten-year-old.

It's okay to underestimate her, but to underestimate the vision of the emperor and the city, it will be at the cost of blood.

Nie Qingwan said softly: "How can it be no problem, there will definitely be a problem, but this is what I want, only after killing a hundred can I really see what these people want to do." ”

Yin Xuan squinted, but he thought it was true, and he stopped talking. This ten-year-old little queen mother has a very terrifying Huigen, has a very sharp insight into everything she encounters, and has a very high level of insight.

Yin Xuan glanced at Nie Qingwan again, and saw that she was sitting there reading like a little adult again, and he also lowered his head and continued to study ink.

Ren Ji went to give the Queen Mother's order, and when the order was passed to Nie Rucheng and Nie Hao, the two of them still sent someone to inform Nie Gongshu, not that they didn't listen to the Queen Mother's words, but that today's Nie Mansion, including today's Dayin Empire, is led by Nie Gongshu, especially the Queen Mother's will, which clearly means to provoke war, this is not a child's play, at least let Nie Gongshu know, if this is also what Nie Gongshu meant, then there is nothing to say, but if Nie Gongshu doesn't know, and he doesn't agree at all, That's very bad.

Nie Gongshu received a message from Nie Rucheng and Nie Hao, but he didn't say anything, and asked them to just listen to the Queen Mother, and in the future, they only listened to the Queen Mother, no matter what they did, just do what they were ordered.

Nie Rucheng and Nie Hao received such a message, glanced at each other, and personally took people to the city gate.

Nie Rucheng is the commander of the Gyeonggi Guard, Nie Hao is the commander of the city gate guard, they are both city defense troops, and the city defense army is the gate guard of the Great Yin Empire.

The two of them were stationed at the city gates to intercept them.

Ren Ji passed the order, came back and replied to Nie Qingwan, Nie Yin also packed up the things used to go back to Nie's house, came over and asked her when she would leave, Nie Qingwan threw away the folded book in her hand, and there were still some unfinished reading, she asked Yin Xuan to collect it, and went back to Nie's house to look at it.

After Yin Xuan finished collecting it, Nie Qingwan asked him, "Do you want to go back to Nie's house with me for the New Year, or go back to Yin's family for the New Year?" ”

Yin Xuan didn't think about it, and said, "Yin." ”

Nie Qingwan raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that they will eat you alive when you go back?" ”

Yin Xuan thought to himself, I would rather let them be eaten alive than go to the Nie family to be a monkey with you, and let your son call his son for a short time, he pursed his lips slightly, and said: "The Yin family also has clan rules, you can't make trouble during the New Year's Festival, no matter how much hatred there is, you have to press it in the small half month of the New Year, and everyone has to pass the New Year peacefully." ”

Nie Qingwan smacked her mouth: "Your Yin clan is really not too troublesome, what are you doing with so many clan rules?" ”

Yin Xuan said: "I don't know about this, you have to ask our Yin family's ancestors, this is all set by the ancestors, and no one dares to disobey." ”

Nie Qingwan said: "The people who died into white bones made you very obedient. ”

Yin Xuan rolled his eyes and glared at her: "If you don't respect your ancestors, you won't be a person." ”

Nie Qingwan smiled: "Hey, you're still angry, I scolded your ancestor?" ”

Yin Xuan looked at her and choked her for no reason: "It's also your ancestor." ”

Nie Qingwan was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, he was saying that she was married to Emperor Yin Zu and was also a member of the Yin family, so the ancestor of the Yin family was also her ancestor.

Nie Qingwan pursed her lips, and she had nothing to say for a while.

Nie Yin glanced at Yin Xuan and said, "If you want to return to the Yin clan, then let's go, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and we will leave immediately." ”

Yin Xuan bent down at her, saluted, and said, "See you next year, auntie, Nianle." ”

He turned around and bent down to Nie Qingwan again, and saluted: "See you next year, Queen Mother, Nian Le." ”

Then he came over and bent down to Ren Ji, bowed, and said, "See you next year, Ren Ji, Nian Le." ”

After saying these three words, he straightened up, turned and left.

Halfway through, Nie Qingwan called out to him: "You have to worship my mother!" Kneel and worship, and your mother will give you New Year's money. ”

Yin Xuan's face darkened, and he turned his head and glared at her angrily.

Ren Ji smiled.

Nie Yin laughed.

Yin Xuan was so angry that he wanted to go up and beat up the little queen mother and tell her to talk nonsense, Yin Xuan didn't know how to answer, he wouldn't say what he had done, but let him really turn back and kowtow to her and call her mother, he was a hundred unwilling, who wants your New Year's money, and when I go back to Yin's, there is a lot of New Year's money, and it is rare for you!

Yin Xuan didn't know what to say, so he didn't say anything, and left in a huff as soon as he turned around.

When the door of the study was closed by him with some anger, Nie Qingwan sat in the chair and laughed, Nie Yin couldn't help laughing, and Ren Ji also laughed.

Nie Yin glanced at Nie Qingwan, shook his head and sighed: "Okay, you always tease him like this, be careful that he is angry with you, and if he doesn't listen to you in the future, it will be in vain for you to work hard, if he doesn't want to shout, then don't shout, he is a person with a mother, how can he be willing to worship you as a mother." ”

Nie Qingwan said dissatisfiedly: "Why can't I worship, I am the Queen Mother, he is the prince I chose, the prince was originally going to serve the Queen Mother as his mother, and I was not wrong." ”

Ren Ji continued: "You have to let him have a process of adaptation, after all, Yin Xuan also has a father and mother, this New Year's Day, he must want to go back to accompany his father and mother, and if he wants to worship, he must first worship his father and mother, so that he can come to worship you, maybe after the New Year, he will accept it." ”

Nie Qingwan pursed her lips noncommittally, didn't dwell on this anymore, jumped down from the high phoenix chair, raised her face and asked Nie Yin, "Everything is packed up?" ”

Nie Yin said: "It's packed, the carriage is ready, and it's waiting for you." ”

Nie Qingwan said, "Then let's go." ”

Nie Yin took a jacket with a back in the phoenix weave incense and put it on for her, and took a very rare fox fur coat to put on for her, and then tied the bow tie, and then pulled her out.

The carriage was not far from the study, there was no palace maid, no eunuch, Nie Qingwan went home for the New Year and did not bring anyone in the palace, only Nie Yin and Ren Ji, Ren Ji first went back to change out of the eunuch's clothes, put on ordinary men's clothes, and then came to catch the carriage.

Nie Yin also changed out of the palace skirt and changed it into the cotton skirt that everyday women wear in winter, carried Nie Qingwan into the carriage, and served her inside.

The three of them rushed back to Nie's house at lunchtime.

A big family like the Nie family is very lively during the New Year, not to mention the movement between their own families, and there are many ministers and aristocratic families who come to send gifts for the New Year, as well as people from all walks of life.

The carriage was about to reach the east gate, and when he saw so many people in front of the gate, Ren Ji turned around and went to the north gate, where he entered the house.

Before coming back, Nie Yin had already sent a letter to the house, so when Nie Qingwan broke open the door in a rampage and threw herself into Su Anxian's arms, Su Anxian just smiled happily, but she was not surprised, she hugged her little daughter, looked her up and down, picked her up again, and said to the sisters-in-law in a room: "It's sinking." ”

The sisters-in-law and sisters laughed, and they all flocked to Su Anxian's side, rushing to hug Nie Qingwan, wanting to see if she had really become heavy, ten-year-old Nie Qingwan was really beautiful, soft and cute, with white skin and red lips, and her smile was especially cute, and everyone in the room hugged her and couldn't put it down, laughing.

When the children of the Nie family were the same age or about the same age as her, or a little worse, they also ran over one after another, and for a while, the house was full of people.

The house was hot, and after a while, Nie Qingwan couldn't stand it anymore and said that she wanted to go back to her own courtyard.

Su Anxian was busy, so she asked Nie Yin to send Nie Qingwan back, and as soon as Nie Qingwan left, those children also followed, and such a large wave of people rumbled towards Yiwan Courtyard.

At that time, Nie Bei, who was only eleven years old, had already grown a silhouette, he was the closest age to Nie Qingwan, before Nie Qingwan entered the palace, she was tired of playing together almost every day, after she entered the palace, Nie Bei lacked a satisfactory playmate, no one played, only studied hard, Nie Bei loved to read all kinds of strange books, and he read it for more than three years, almost obsessed.

Nie Qingwan came back today, but he didn't go to join in the fun.

Nie Qingwan played for a while before she found out that Brother Sixteen hadn't come, she pouted, grabbed a cousin and asked, "What about Brother Sixteen?" ”

The cousin said, "I should be reading a book again, don't pay attention to him, he's a nerd." ”

Nie Qingwan smiled slyly: "Let's go and play tricks on him." ”

My cousin's eyes lit up and she nodded desperately: "Okay, okay!" ”

So the two of them raised their arms and shouted a lot of little radish heads to make trouble with Nie Bei.

Nie Bei does nest in a warm pavilion to read books, this warm pavilion in the urn house above the pedestal of half a person, the so-called urn house, is the surrounding wall, the head of the cup, usually the urn house is not opened, it is open in winter, windproof and cold-proof and noise-proof, there is a piano stand inside, a desk, half of the ground is covered with mink carpets, the walls are painted around the seal, some elegant calligraphy and paintings are hung on it, with a tea room, there is a long pole holding the flower stake, a night pearl is placed on it, the whole urn house is illuminated as day, there are many such urn houses in Nie's house, It is all used for quiet reading or practicing the piano alone, because the urn house has a strong sound insulation effect, practicing the piano in it, even if the piano sounds ghostly and howling, others can't hear it, the reason why Nie Bei chose to read here is because the Nie family is too noisy during this time, and it is not quiet anywhere, especially in his courtyard, he can't stay there, and someone disturbs him every day, only by hiding here, can he read with peace of mind.

Young Bourdy waited beside him, pouring tea and water, or rummaging through books.

Nie Bei didn't know when Nie Qingwan and the little radish heads of the Nie family came, because he couldn't hear the sound outside, and Bo Lu didn't hear it, so the master and servant didn't know what bad ideas the radish heads led by Nie Qingwan were plotting outside, until the mechanism on the roof was opened, and a blue-eyed snake fell from the head, and Kan Kanzheng fell on the book that Nie Beizheng was holding. Choke seven inches and kill two with one knife.

Nie Bei frowned, his posture of holding the book remained unchanged, and he looked up at the top of his head.

This look saw a naughty and underbeaten face.

Nie Bei was stunned: "Sister Wan? ”

Nie Qingwan smiled and shouted downward: "Sixteenth brother, come out quickly, if you don't come out, I'll release the snake!" ”

As she spoke, her little hand lifted the snake locust basket specially for snakes and showed it to Nie Bei.

Nie Bei's forehead twitched, and then he saw another little head squeezed next to Nie Qingwan's little head, and then another ......

Nie Bei: "......" This group of little children, every time Sister Wan comes back, they become very bad.

Nie Bei put down the book, asked Bolu to dispose of the snake, and then cleaned up the ground, he lifted the hem of his trousers, took the coat hanging on the hanger, put it on, and walked out of the warm pavilion.

After going out, he saw Nie Qingwan running towards him jumping up, he reached out to hug her, and asked her with a smile, "When will you get home?" ”

Nie Qingwan said, "It's been a while. ”

Nie Bei looked behind her, but didn't see Yin Xuan, so he asked, "Yin Xuan didn't come with you?" ”

Nie Qingwan pouted and said, "That stinky boy is not rare for my mother, so it is not rare for me to be my mother's mother's family, he went back to his Yin family." ”

Nie Bei listened to the word 'mother', and thought very brokenly, you are only ten years old, what about the older children, you will call yourself a mother when you open your mouth and close your mouth, it is not bad if you didn't scare Yin Xuan away, change it to someone else, and see who takes care of you.

Nie Bei coughed lightly and said, "Then leave him alone." He was about to ask again: "Have you ever seen Ah Zugong?" A servant's voice came from behind, saying that the elders had summoned the children to eat, so Nie Bei pulled Nie Qingwan and went to the main building to eat.
