Maybe it was because she slept late last night, and when Ziling woke up, it was already dawn, and she woke up much later than usual. %&*";

As soon as she finished washing, Xiaoru came to Ziling with a smile on her face and reported: "Niangniang, this morning the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to pass the decree that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is simpler, all the ministers have not been invited, and some concubines have not been reunited with their families, so the emperor has allowed the female dependents of the concubines to enter the palace for reunion!" The Ministry of Internal Affairs came to ask who in the mother's family wants to enter the palace? ”

Hearing the news, Zi Ling was so happy - she didn't know how long it had been since she had seen someone from the Xiao family! Although she is not the real Xiao Ziling, in this strange world, only the Xiao family is a big tree she can rely on and a harbor where she can anchor. Only Prime Minister Xiao and his wife are the ones who really love her and trust her!

Zi Ling instructed Xiao Ru to go to the Internal Affairs Office to report to let her mother and sister-in-law enter the palace, and the Internal Affairs Office went to Xiao Mansion to spread the news, and the next day, Zi Ling's mother and sister-in-law came into the palace to visit Zi Ling.

Xiao Ziling's sister-in-law, that is, Xiao Zixun's wife Liu Ruyu, is Liu Ruxin's half-sister, she has slightly plump skin, a medium figure, cheeks like clotted fat, gentle and calm, and amiable. She does not have Liu Ruxin's gorgeous appearance and delicate and charming state, but she is more noble and cordial than Liu Ruxin, and the sisters are simply worlds apart.

As soon as Mrs. Xiao and Liu Ruyu arrived at Yongle Palace, they saw Zi Ling waiting by the door, they hadn't seen her for a long time, Zi Ling was not slightly fat after being pregnant as Mrs. Xiao imagined, but she had lost a lot of weight, and Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw her.

Mrs. Xiao and Liu Ruyu wanted to bow down after seeing Xiao Ziling, Ziling hurriedly hugged them, and said emotionally: "Mother and sister-in-law don't make this big gift to Ling'er, Ling'er can't afford it!" ”

Mrs. Xiao stood up, hugged Zi Ling tightly, with tears in the corners of her eyes, and reproached Zi Ling distressedly: "Ling'er, how can you be so thin...... I don't know how to take good care of myself! ”

Yunu stood aside to watch Ziling and their family reunite, her heart was happy and sad, happy that the people of the Xiao family were like seeing their own family, and sad was that they were not their real family after all!

After they embraced, the jade slave also sorted out her emotions, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet the Xiao family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law: "The slave has seen the lady and the young lady." %&*"; ”

Mrs. Xiao hurriedly picked up the jade slave, looked at her carefully, and then showed a satisfied smile, patted her hand lovingly, and said, "This child has grown up a lot, and he is really getting more and more beautiful!" ”

The words made Yu Nu blush, and he lowered his head and did not dare to speak. Seeing this, Xiaoru hurriedly said to Mrs. Xiao: "Madame, let's hurry up and go into the house, our mother has already ordered someone to prepare melons and fruits and refreshments." ”

After entering the house, Ziling withdrew the palace maids and eunuchs, leaving only the jade slaves to wait, so that they were a family, not monarchs and ministers, so they could avoid this cumbersome palace rules and speak freely.

Mrs. Xiao brought a lot of things to Ziling, silk and satin, pastries, melons and fruits, gold, silver and jewelry, jasper and jade, everything for food and clothing, and she almost moved the entire Prime Minister's Mansion over.

Zi Ling looked at the things piled up in half a room, and felt warm in his heart, and he was deeply moved-that's it! Every mother is like this, she always wants to save the best for her daughter!

"Why did my mother send so many things to her daughter?" Zi Ling said coquettishly, "My daughter's house can't fit in!" In fact, what can't be filled is not the mountain of gifts, but the mother's full love for a daughter!

"Although I know that Niangniang doesn't lack anything in the palace, but if I don't send these things in, my mother-in-law will feel uneasy!" Liu Ruyu said with a smile, "As soon as I heard that I could enter the palace to meet my mother, my mother-in-law was busy taking care of things, and I didn't sleep all night last night!" ”

Ziling couldn't help but reddened her eyes, and hurriedly snuggled up to Mrs. Xiao's side, gently hugged her shoulder, leaned her head on her shoulder, and said coquettishly: "My mother loves her daughter so much, and my daughter is reluctant to let her mother go back, what can I do?" Otherwise, my daughter would go home with her mother. ”

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Xiao hurriedly covered Ziling's mouth and blamed her dotingly, "Ling'er is the emperor's concubine, how can she be so open-mouthed?" Don't dare to say this in front of the emperor and the queen mother! ”

Zi Ling smiled and said, "Isn't my daughter playing with her mother?" This kind of thing, how could my daughter say it in front of outsiders. However, she did say this kind of thing in front of "outsiders", and she still remembered that she knelt in front of Meng Hongyu and begged him to let her out of the palace! So, is Meng Hongyu an "outsider"? Zi Ling himself doesn't know!

"How is my brother doing lately?" Ziling opened her mouth to ask Liu Ruyu, she was no longer tired of being by Mrs. Xiao's side, and sat down seriously, from a delicate little daughter to a dignified concubine.

"Thanks to the blessing of the mother, the husband is doing well. Now that there is no burden of family and country, it is more relaxed, and we have never been so happy with our mother and son at home all day long! Thinking of the loving days during this time, the corners of Liu Ruyu's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, revealing a happy and satisfied smile.

"yes. Xun'er has long wanted to unload the burden of Mount Tai and live a leisurely and comfortable home life, but now it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, and finally as he wished. Otherwise, he guards the frontier all the year round, and gathers less and more with Ruyu, it is really difficult for them to be a young couple! "Mrs. Xiao is really a cheerful woman, and she is so open to Xiao Zixun's dismissal, Ziling is a lot more relieved.

Listening to Mrs. Xiao's words, Liu Ruyu couldn't help blushing slightly, lowered her eyebrows and said, "Husband said, the happiest thing now is to be able to fulfill a little filial piety under the knees of my father!" Otherwise, he has been on the border all the year round, and he has never fulfilled his responsibilities as a child. Her words seemed to be a refutation for Xiao Zixun, not only washing away his suspicion of "marrying a daughter-in-law and forgetting his mother", but also pleasing Mrs. Xiao.

Ziling couldn't help but secretly admire her sister-in-law in her heart, compared with Liu Ruxin, Liu Ruyu didn't know how many times smarter. One is the pure white clouds in the sky, and the other is the muddy mud on the ground, this is the so-called "world of difference"!

When I think of my brother being labeled as a "collaborator", being imprisoned, and carrying a major crime of "disloyalty", his future is ruined, and his reputation is ruined, Zi Ling's heart will feel guilty - they were all killed by themselves, and they were all killed by their husbands!

"My mother and sister-in-law can think like this, and Ling'er will be relieved." Zi Ling took Mrs. Xiao's hand and said with relief, "Otherwise, Ling'er will really feel guilty to death!" Ling'er knew that she had harmed her brother......"

"Silly boy, this is all destiny, your brother has such a catastrophe in his life, what does it have to do with you?" Mrs. Xiao comforted Zi Ling with her words, however, there was also an element of self-comfort in that tone. Yes, isn't it the survival method of the Chinese to "cover their ears and steal the bell" to attribute all calamities to the destiny of heaven, and then willingly settle for calamities?
