♂? ，，

Hearing this, Xu Xian suddenly felt that he was speechless, and he hurriedly said, "Grandmother! In the end, we and the ancient family are to ask the Empress Dowager to give marriage, you are looking for a wife for your grandson now, isn't this clearly telling the world that we are not satisfied with the marriage of the Empress Dowager and her old man? Offended the ancient family, but you must not touch the moldy head of the queen mother! ”

"That's just as well." When Mrs. Xu heard this, she immediately frowned and thought about it, and after a while, she reluctantly said: "Forget it, I'll talk about the matter of the flat wife later." ”

"Grandmother, that's right!" When Xu Xian heard this, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Xu Lao Tianjun stretched out his thin hand and knocked on Xu Xian's head fiercely, and then said, "Do I still want to use it to teach?" ”

Xu Xian touched the place where his forehead was knocked out, and said with a bitter face: "Grandmother, my grandson knows his mistake." ”

A smile appeared on Mrs. Xu's face, and she instructed Xu Xian: "Okay!" Hurry up and get some rest! As he spoke, he took Mrs. Xu's hand and walked out.

Xu Xian hurriedly sent them out in person.

When Mrs. Xu was leaving, she looked back at her son worriedly.

Nothing was said all night.

Gu Ruoxi got up early, washed up, sat down at the dining table and started breakfast, I don't know if it was because she lived in the mountains for the past few days, or because she didn't eat dinner last night, in short, today, her appetite is very good. Jin Se stood aside and looked at her face, very eager to speak.

Gu Ruoxi pretended not to see. This girl was very excited when she saw King Jing coming a while ago, and now she sees that her marriage with the Xu family is about to be finalized, just this face, what she thinks in her heart, Gu Ruoxi is clear.

But she didn't want to pay attention. I saw Xu Xian last night, but she really didn't have any extra thoughts in her heart, in her heart, Xu Xian was just a person who was more suitable for marriage, and it just so happened that she had to find someone to settle the family affairs in order to avoid those gossips, so she acquiesced to this family business.

Anyway, it's just an engagement, she is still young now, and there are still three years before Ji Lu, and in these three years, she must have a way to change the danger of the ancient family.

Moreover, young and promising people who live a self-disciplined life are definitely more reliable than people who are full of scandals and piles of peach blossoms around them.

Gu Ruoxi is a person who pursues Ye Ding, and she has long been thinking about what kind of life she should live in the future.

After breakfast, Gu Ruoxi was about to get up and go to the yard for a walk to digest her food, but at this moment, Mrs. Jinye Hou led people into the courtyard from outside.

"Xi'er! Fast! Dress up! The Queen Mother invites us to enter the palace at noon! "He Hua is bloody.

Gu Ruoxi was taken aback: So fast?

However, she soon calmed down, and last night Jinye Hou had already said that the Queen Mother would be summoned today, which should have been expected, wasn't it?

"Mother, I'll go now." Gu Ruoxi nodded and hurriedly turned around

Go into the back room and get ready to change your clothes.

Mrs. Jinye Hou was busy directing the old man Wang Mama beside her to come forward to help Gu Ruoxi: "A few of you, hurry up and help the second lady!" ”

"Yes! Madam! Several people hurriedly responded and hurriedly followed.

Mama Wang and others are the old people who have served Mrs. Jinye Hou for many years, and have served Jinqi into the palace many times, after they entered, they looked for clothes to find clothes, and they made up their makeup, everything was done in an orderly manner, and in less than half an hour, Gu Ruoxi came out of the back room with a new look.

I saw that she was wearing a pale pink palace dress, a dark red embroidered peony bandeau, the whole person was very ladylike and slender, her hair was combed up, and a falling cloud sideburns were piled up on the top of her head, but only a beaded flower was worn obliquely in the sideburns, and there were fine bangs on the forehead, and the whole face looked pure and lovely.

"Not bad! Not bad! Mama Wang is very discerning, Xi'er, combing such a hairstyle with such clothes is very beautiful. Mrs. Kazuha praised again and again.

When Mama Wang heard that she was being praised, she stood aside and suddenly showed a smile on her face.

Gu Ruoxi was a little ashamed, this was the first time in her life that she was dressed so solemnly, and it was fake to say that she didn't like it, but as soon as she thought that she would have to enter the palace to see the Queen Mother later, she couldn't laugh.

"Alright, now that we've dressed up, let's hurry up!" Mrs. Kazuba said.

Gu Ruoxi nodded, and was about to say something, but at this moment, a voice suddenly came to mind outside the courtyard: "Mother! I'm going to the palace too! ”

Everyone hurriedly turned around, and sure enough, they saw Gu Ruoxi hurriedly walking in from outside the door with Qiulan beside him.

As soon as she saw the well-dressed Gu Ruoxi, Gu Yuetong's face suddenly appeared with a touch of surprise: "Sister! What a look at today's dress! ”

"What's the matter, in front of my sister, my sister will always be slightly better." Gu Ruoxi hurriedly explained.

"Tong'er, the Queen Mother didn't summon her, why did she go to the palace?" Mrs. Kazuba asked with a frown.

"However, I want to go into the palace to see the prince's brother." Gu Yuetong whispered.

When Mrs. Kazuba Hou heard this, she immediately felt angry and funny: "My mother and my sister are going to do business today, where is the time to visit the prince?" It's better for girls to be more reserved, otherwise. will be looked down upon! ”

"I don't care, I'm going to enter the palace!" Gu Yuetong pouted and said with an unhappy face.

Mrs. Jinye Hou saw that the hour was not early, she didn't want to entangle with her eldest daughter here, so she said: "If you want to enter the palace, have you changed your clothes?" ”

"It's been changed a long time ago! Let's go, I'm not going to lose time. Gu Yuetong said with a smile.

Mrs. Jinye Hou saw that her eldest daughter was also carefully dressed up today, wearing a bright red embroidered peony blouse, a pale pink floor-length skirt, and beautiful hair

Pulled up high, the hair on the forehead was combed, revealing a smooth forehead, and with the high cloud sideburns, the swaying golden step, the whole person looked noble and charming. Compared with Gu Ruoxi's small and fresh dress, she shows a woman's atmosphere.

At this point, Gu Ruoxi also sincerely admires Gu Yuetong, she does look like a woman born for the crown prince, and she was born to be the material for the crown princess.

Mrs. Jinye Hou had no choice but to nod and say, "Cheng, since you want to go, then take a carriage with my sister." Don't run around after entering the palace, you know? ”

Gu Yuetong nodded and said, "Mother, I naturally know this!" It's as if her daughter hasn't been in the palace before. As the prince's fiancée, she has followed Mrs. Jinye Hou into the palace many times since she was a child, and it is not surprising that she can say such a thing, but it is a little intriguing that she said it when Gu Ruoxi entered the palace for the first time.

Gu Ruoxi's eyebrows suddenly raised, but she didn't say anything.

Because the injury on her arm has not healed yet, Mama Wang specially chose this pale pink palace dress for her, with sleeves longer than her wrist, just to cover up those terrible bumps.

"Okay, don't say anything more, hurry up and enter the palace!" Mrs. Jinye Hou didn't understand the meaning of Gu Yuetong's words just now, and only urged them to hurry up and get into the carriage.

After a while, the mother and daughter of the Gu family got into the carriage together and rushed to the direction of the palace.

Sit in a carriage. Gu Yuetong looked at Gu Ruoxi with a smile and said, "Sister, who combed your hair today?" As he spoke, he glanced at Jin Se on the side.

Gu Ruoxi said: "It was Mama Wang next to my mother who combed it for me, and my mother was afraid that she would not be able to enter the palace in time, so she asked her to help me." ”

"Really?" When Gu Yuetong heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "Mama Wang's craftsmanship is really good!" Catch up with Ming'er, I also asked her to help me comb it! ”

"That's Mama Wang's blessing." Gu Ruoxi smiled faintly and said.

Gu Yuetong didn't say anything more.

The Queen Mother lived in seclusion in Cining Palace, when the carriage arrived at the palace gate. Mrs. Jinye Hou took out the token and walked all the way to Cining Palace, along the way, the Gu Ruoxi sisters didn't speak much, as if as soon as they entered this heavily guarded palace, everyone became solemn. He Hua Estimated.

&

nbsp; Soon, everyone got off the chariot, got dressed up, and prepared to go in to meet the Queen Mother. At this moment, Gu Ruoxi's heart suddenly became nervous. Intuition told her that the Queen Mother didn't like her very much.

She didn't know where this directness came from, but it really appeared in her mind.

Mrs. Kazuha Hou respectfully explained her intention to the guards guarding the door at the gate of the palace, and after a while, a middle-aged eunuch with a white face and beard came out of the palace. I politely invited them in.

Gu Ruoxi walked at the end, she kept her head down, and she didn't dare to look at the entire palace

What does it look like, her heart is beating fast, and the footsteps in her ears are very clear, she knows that this is her own.

After a while, the people in front stopped, and Gu Ruoxi knelt down with her mother and sister by feeling, and asked the queen mother who was sitting on the top to ask for a leaf.

This is a real kneeling, the palace floor is white marble, the hardness can be imagined, as soon as she knelt down, Gu Ruoxi felt that her knees hurt, but there was no way, the queen mother didn't wake up, she couldn't move.

"Get up! Mrs. Jinye Hou, I haven't been in the palace to visit the mourning family for many days! After a while, the Queen Mother, who was sitting at the top, smiled and asked everyone to get up, and by the way, she greeted Mrs. Jinye Hou, it seems that she is in a good mood today.

Gu Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably in her heart.

"Empress Dowager Xie, there have been a lot of things in the palace recently, and Halloween is coming soon, so the courtiers don't dare to enter the palace to disturb the Empress Dowager." After listening to the Queen Mother's words, Mrs. Jinye Hou was a little flattered, and hurriedly responded respectfully, and then slowly stood up from the ground.

Gu Ruoxi slowly stood up with Gu Yuetong at this time.

"Which is the second girl, raise your head and let this palace take a look?" At this moment, the Queen Mother suddenly asked, her voice not as enthusiastic as when she asked Mrs. Kazuba just now.

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, she slowly raised her head, glanced at the Queen Mother, lowered her head again, and replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, the little girl is." ”

At that moment of glance, Gu Ruoxi clearly saw the queen mother sitting on the top wearing a Hunan red makeup and satin palace robe, and was slightly surprised in her heart, this queen mother is already in her fifties, but she looks like she is in her thirties, this maintenance work is really amazing!

"Sure enough, it is exactly the same as Tong'er, but the temperament is different." The Queen Mother glanced at Gu Ruoxi carefully, retracted her gaze and said. _

When Mrs. Jinye Hou heard this, she hurriedly said: "Back to the Queen Mother, the two girls look too similar, so the courtiers have been raising them separately from all aspects since they were children, so it looks very effective." ”

"Yes, so the mourning family will definitely not be confused." The Queen Mother said slowly, and as she spoke, she suddenly beckoned and motioned for Gu Yuetong to come to her side. After glancing at Gu Ruoxi, she never looked at her again.

Gu Yuetong had a touch of joy in her eyes, and she was busy with a slight blessing, and then walked to the Queen Mother's side, and was held by the Queen Mother and sat on the chair beside her.

"Tong'er, were you injured in the Huguo Temple that day?" The Queen Mother asked Gu Ruoxi with concern, and as she spoke, she waved her hand at Mrs. Jinye Hou and Gu Ruoxi very casually and said, "Come on, give them a seat." ”

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!" Gu Ruoxi hurriedly answered with her mother, and then carefully sat down on the chair brought by the attendant, trying to do her best etiquette.

And Gu Yuetong was already answering the Queen Mother with a smile: "Back to the mother's words, that day."

Tong'er was retreated into the water by the young lady of Xu Shangshu's family, but fortunately, her sister immediately jumped into the water desperately, which rescued the little girl, and her sister was injured, but the little girl was unharmed, just a little typhoid fever. ”

"Typhoid fever? Has it ever been healed? When the Queen Mother heard this, she asked with concern. As for Gu Ruoxi's injury, she didn't hear it.

"Back to the Queen Mother's words, it's just a little typhoid fever, it's not in the way, it's almost fine." Gu Yuetong hurriedly said.

Gu Ruoxi on the side listened to them chatting, with a faint expression on her face. Not a word.

Today, the Queen Mother originally summoned her, but after Gu Yuetong followed, things took such a big turn. It's as if she's the main character, and they're all here to foil.

Although Mrs. Kashiba sat there and didn't speak, she was secretly anxious in her heart. They have been here for so long, what does it mean that the Queen Mother has not entered the subject?

But the Queen Mother didn't say it, and she didn't dare to take the initiative to mention it.

Finally, I don't know how long time has passed, the Queen Mother just remembered what was going on, she coughed lightly, and said to Gu Yuetong beside her: "Good boy, I haven't been in the palace for a long time, let my mother accompany me and go to the imperial garden for a walk!" ”

Gu Yuetong was a little unhappy when she heard this. But she also knew what the Queen Mother was doing when she announced that they were entering the palace today, and at the moment, she didn't show any on her face, but responded very well-behaved: "Yes, the Queen Mother." ”

Mrs. Jinye Hou also stood up, blessed her body, turned around and went out with her eldest daughter, and when she passed by Gu Ruoxi's side, she glanced at her younger daughter with great concern.

Gu Ruoxi cast a leafy look at her.

When they're gone. Above the main hall, only Gu Ruoxi was left to face the Queen Mother.

"Do you know why the mourning family wants to stay alone?" After a long time, the Queen Mother spoke slowly, and the intimate tone when she spoke to Gu Yuetong just now disappeared.

"The little girl doesn't know." Gu Ruoxi replied in a low voice.

In front of the Queen Mother, she can be as low-key as she can.

The Queen Mother looked at her so deferentially, but she was a little unhappy in her heart, and she said with a hint of reproach in her voice: "When you seduced Jing'er into the water to save her in the Huguo Temple, how could you understand everything?" A girl's family, in order to marry into the royal family, why is she so thoughtful? A crow will always be a crow, and it will never become a phoenix! ”

"Queen Mother, what do you mean by this?" Gu Ruoxi was taken aback when she heard this obviously mocking remark. She was only concerned about saving Gu Yuetong who fell into the water, and she didn't do anything, it was King Jing who jumped into the water to save her, why did the Queen Mother talk like this when she came here?

"Don't pretend to be stupid! Now that everyone knows that Jing'er was saved, are they dreaming of being Princess Jing? The Queen Mother sneered at Gu Ruoxi and said, "The mourning family might as well tell." Jing'er's princess mourning family has already been chosen, no matter what she does

Shame on yourself! ”

"Queen Mother, the little girl has never thought of it like this." Gu Ruoxi's voice also cooled.

The Queen Mother sneered and said: "The thoughts of these young girls, the mourning family doesn't need to guess to know, so don't pretend, let's say, if the mourning family doesn't agree to marry my family Jing'er, are you going to seek death and life?" ”

"Queen Mother, please rest assured. The little girl will definitely live well, and will never seek death and life! Gu Ruoxi replied word by word. For this harsh and mean queen mother, who is so at the pinnacle of her speech, she really has no good feelings in her heart.

How can there be so many people in the world who feel good about themselves, always self-righteous, as if her son is the best man in the world, and all women should like him.

Gu Ruoxi hates such a woman the most.

"Good! With this sentence, the mourning family is relieved. Remember, don't pester my family Jing'er! When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately said.

Gu Ruoxi nodded and said, "Please rest assured, the little girl will definitely be polite in the future, and she will never pester His Royal Highness King Jing!" “

The Queen Mother said a good word again, and instructed the palace people around her: "Let's go to the imperial garden and have a look, if Mrs. Jinye Hou is done shopping." Just bring her back! "He Huafeng.

"Yes! The Queen Mother! Immediately, a palace man answered, bowed and retreated.

Gu Ruoxi still sat there quietly, not sad or happy on her face, she was really determined, and she didn't even feel like she had taken the words that the Queen Mother just said to her heart.

When the Queen Mother saw it, she praised it in her heart.

After a while, Mrs. Jinye Hou and Gu Yuetong came in from the outside, and as soon as they entered the door, Mrs. Jinye Hou's eyes were firmly fixed on Gu Ruoxi's body, and when she saw her still sitting there unharmed, she was slightly relieved in her heart.
