However, these things are just thought about by the queen, even if Xiao Jin is now barely earning some attention in front of Emperor Chu, Xiao Yu, who is older than him, is still the eldest son of Emperor Chu. After Xiao Yu got married, he was the one who was left by Emperor Chu to guard the imperial capital every year in the spring hunt. Xiao Yu acted in a relaxed manner, almost perfectly.

In addition, even if Emperor Liu is over forty years old, she is still favored by Emperor Chu, as always, Xiao Jun and Xiao Xuan, brother and sister, are more pleasing to Emperor Chu than Xiao Yu.

The queen sat in the beautiful but extraordinarily cold Zhaoyang Palace, looking at her body that had never been pregnant, and couldn't help but feel a little desolate in her heart.

She is the wife of Emperor Chu, and she has walked all the way from the position of the crown princess to the position of the queen. Even if Zhaoyang Palace is the most gorgeous palace in this harem, he is always lonely.

Even if Xiao Jin was brought to Zhaoyang Palace by her from Qin Zhaoyi's side to raise him from the ground, even if he really regarded him as his own son to take care of and teach, but in the end, he and her did not have that trace of blood connection before, and he always felt that there was a layer of difference in his heart.

And he sheltered Concubine Chen and Xiao Lu for many years, and even after Xiao Lu angered Emperor Chu, he was willing to protect her in front of Emperor Chu, and let his own nephew be a concubine. Concubine Chen is good, after Xiao Lu got married and left the palace, and Xiao Jin was snubbed by Emperor Chu, she said that she couldn't afford to be sick for a long time, not only did Concubine Chen come to Zhaoyang Palace less under the pretext that she couldn't get up, but Xiao Lu rarely entered the palace.

It seems that Concubine Chen, who has been cowardly for so much, has her own plans in her heart, and seeing that Xiao Jin is losing power, she chooses to protect herself with her daughter, and never gets close to herself again, hoping that if Xiao Yu ascends the throne in the future, their mother and daughter can still be treated well.

The queen consciously knew Concubine Chen's thoughts, and her heart was even more inexplicably angry. She deeply hated Concubine Chen for ignoring her years of protection, and even laughed at herself for what would happen to Xiao Yu's ascension to the throne in the future. She is the queen, and she will become the queen mother in the future, she is Xiao Yu's mother-in-law, and she is filial piety, even if Xiao Yu ascends the throne and treats her as the queen mother politely, the concubine Liu Huang will bow her head after all, and she is still in charge of the affairs in the harem.

And in the Yihua Palace at this end, Emperor Liu's concubine is still not ready to let Xiao Xuan go easily. After a while, Emperor Liu's concubine asked Baizhu to lead Sister Chu out to see her new pot of excellent orchids, Sister Chu didn't know what to do, and saw that Emperor Liu's concubine specially arranged for someone to take her over to see the orchids, so she obediently got up and followed Baizhu out.

Xiao Xuan turned his head to look at Sister Chu's excited appearance and followed Baizhu, and when he turned his head at Emperor Liu again, he already had a flattering smile on his face.

"Mother, I know it's wrong." Before Emperor Liu could speak, Xiao Xuan immediately admitted her mistake honestly. "I won't dare next time."

"Hmph, why can't I see that you're wrong? What did I tell you when you left the palace last time, you are good, are you so reluctant to come into the palace to listen to me say a few words? Concubine Liu Huang thought in her heart that she gave birth to Xiao Yu, and this child had never bothered her since she landed. Xiao Jun and Xiao Xuan, who were born later, are like debt collectors, and they can't live in peace for a while. "You are not children anymore, even you have been married for almost a year, and the mother is not young, and you are impatient to listen to me when I sometimes talk too much, but what I say and do is not for your sake. You two can't learn from your eldest brother well, so that I can save my worries and live a few more years. ”

Xiao Xuan looked at Emperor Liu's concubine and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Then he stepped forward cheekily, knelt down on the lap of Emperor Liu's concubine, and blinked at her with his head tilted as if flattering.

When Concubine Liu Huang saw Xiao Xuan's appearance, her eyes couldn't help but blur, as if she saw Xiao Xuan who was still a young child again, when she knew that she had made a mistake, and there were no brothers and Emperor Chu in front of her to intercede for her, she would rely on her like a little dog.

"Hey." Concubine Liu gently placed her hand on the top of Xiao Xuan's head, Xiao Xuan's hair was smooth and soft, just like the best satin, and Concubine Liu gently stroked the top of her head. "Well, don't you hide it from me next time? I don't know how worried I know if something happened to you. ”

"Okay, no matter what happens in the future, I will definitely stop hiding it from my mother." Xiao Xuan heard the meaning of Emperor Liu's words, and immediately climbed up along the pole, she put her hands on Concubine Liu's knees, and said with a blank eye.

"Alright, hurry up." Concubine Liu couldn't help but laugh, and stretched out her hand to pull Xiao Xuan up. "Sister Chu can't look at the flowers for long, it's not good for her to see you like this."

Xiao Xuan knew that this time the matter was finally over, and immediately climbed up following the movements of Emperor Liu's concubine.

"Is it really okay for you to be stung by a wild bee when you are small and weak?" Emperor Liu asked uneasily. "After returning to the imperial capital, did you ask the imperial doctor to go to your house to see it for you?"

"Don't worry, concubine, when I was in the paddock, my father asked the imperial doctor to come to see me every day. On the second day of returning to the imperial capital, my father immediately sent the imperial doctor to my house, and I really didn't have anything to do. Xiao Xuan patted his chest and assured Emperor Liu. I can eat and sleep now, and I'm doing well. ”

"Since you've said so, I'm relieved." Concubine Liu Huang pulled Xiao Xuan to sit beside her. "Your Majesty feels that something is wrong, and this matter is now under the control of the Banner Guard. I heard that you invited Mrs. Nan Anhou to your house yesterday, right? ”

"Yes, Princess." Xiao Xuan said. "Although the incident between me and my father and the emperor was provoked by the two sons of Nan'an Hou's mansion on the surface, my father did not condemn Nan'an Hou's family, but instead selected Nan'an Hou's fourteen-year-old eldest son into the palace guard, and now Nan'an Hou's eldest son has been serving in front of the palace. Nan Anhou's family is very interesting, Mrs. Nan Anhou is also good friends with the lord of Duansu County, that is, the eldest son of Nan Anhou is also a student with Shaolan, I think it doesn't hurt to get closer to them. ”

"Well, you're right." Concubine Liu nodded approvingly. "Since your father can put the eldest son of Nan'an Hou in front of the emperor to serve, it is most likely confirmed that Nan'an Houfu has nothing to do with this matter. Nan'an Houfu doesn't look at the micro generations, but it has always kept the title of the Houfu, which shows that it also has some ability. I have some impression of Mrs. Nan Anhou, she is about the same age as me, and when she was in the boudoir, she was famous for her long-sleeved dancing and good relationships. ”

"Yes, after getting along for a long time, Mrs. Nan Anhou is indeed a very good speaker and worker. The children in the house are too, whether they are out of the house or out of the concubine, they are all carefully raised. Not only are the children under her knees excellent, but even the ability of the two girls around her to deal with people can be regarded as excellent among children of the same age. ”

"It's good for you to make more friends with such characters outside the palace in the future, after all, the same age as you is still the new daughter-in-law of the family, and you can't say anything. But those wives who have been in charge of the family for many years, except for a few people, have some of their own abilities that can be safely in an environment like the imperial capital for decades. Concubine Liu said to Xiao Xuan. There are some things that you can learn more from them and see more. ”

"Yes, Princess." Regarding Emperor Liu's instructions, Xiao Xuan simply agreed neatly. "I all know, I can't help my brothers in political affairs, but I still have the information to lay a good foundation for my brothers in other things."

"By the way, that's what the mother wants to tell you." Seeing that Xiao Xuan understood what she meant, Emperor Liu said with great relief. "You are a princess in political affairs, and it is basically difficult to do anything, that is, what you can do with Your Majesty's favor, I am afraid that it will backfire. On the contrary, those ladies and ladies who are in the backyard all day long are always unpredictable in the future, so under normal circumstances, even if your background is unmatched, don't easily embarrass or make enemies. ”

"Xuan'er, the mother's teachings, must be remembered." Xiao Xuan smiled sweetly. "I will never let my mother worry about me in the future."

"Don't say anything like that, you've always promised me what you told me before, and you'll do what I want. Just talk about your horse, since you got married, every time I went to Zhaoyang Palace to ask for peace, the queen always reminded me with words. "When Concubine Liu thinks of these things, she can't help but feel depressed in her heart." Tell me, even if I didn't marry your cousin Yu at the beginning, I would marry a child of any family in the imperial capital, would I be able to bear this idleness in front of the queen? ”

"Mother, I'm married, do you still mean anything by saying these things? Besides, Shaolan is good to me, don't I believe that others can do it? Xiao Xuan interceded for Duan Shaolan.

"Why can't it, what kind of background do you have, what kind of appearance, whoever marries you has to go down to heaven and offer it!"

"Mother, don't praise me so much, why didn't you say these things when you counted me down?" Xiao Xuan smiled and said to Emperor Liu. "I'm so good, my mother won't fall on me."

"It's one thing to be nice, it's another thing for me to count you down." Emperor Liu's concubine is very good at this matter, Xiao Xuan has no matter what, even if Emperor Chu says Xiao Xuan, she will be unhappy for a few days. "You are a princess, and what kind of man is worthy of you is a little worse. Not to mention Duan Shaolan, no matter how good he is, I just can't be satisfied with the fact that he was born in the Zhenguo Mansion. It's just that my precious daughter, who is desperately in love with such a person, and has learned to take your father and the emperor to pressure me to admit it. ”
