Xiao Tingchen laughed, "Grandmother, your grandson Yushu is in the wind, and now he is in power, how many women are begging to marry me?" The fifth sister married me as a side concubine, which is her blessing. ”

The old lady frowned, "Side concubine? ”

Xiao Tingchen casually picked up the peanut candy in the fruit bowl and threw it into his mouth, "Otherwise? Tsk, in the past, she was sticky like that, and she was still a concubine? I'm still not feeling well. ”

"Then you married the concubine, what should you do with the wine?"

"Don't marry a concubine."

The old lady stared at him casually chewing candy cubes, angry and funny, "I obviously want Xiaojiu to be the concubine." Blame yourself, in the past, you asked the emperor not to allow Xiaojiu to be the main room, but now it's okay, dig a pit and jump in by yourself, who is to blame? ”

His mind was exposed, and Xiao Tingchen was silent.

The old lady thought for a while, and then said, "I heard that a few days ago there was a banquet in the palace, and she ...... a little wine."

"It's all a matter for our juniors, and grandmother doesn't have to worry about it." Xiao Tingchen didn't care, "What's more, what kind of thing does grandmother think I care about?" ”

The old lady shook her head helplessly, reached out and poked his forehead, "You, only a little wine can stop you!" ”

Xiao Tingchen smiled and hugged her, "I have asked the Holy Lord to canonize my grandmother as a first-class lady, can my grandmother be happy?" ”

Saying this, he noticed that the old man was too thin.

He glanced at the old man's face.

The old man looked ruddy, but on closer inspection, the ruddy layer was clearly the rouge that was patted.

Grandmother her body......

Xiao Tingchen narrowed his eyes.

Inside the hall.

Xiao Tingchen and the old lady went to the back hall to talk, and Su Jiu sat alone in the hall, a little uncomfortable.

Because the whole house was looking at her.

The people in the second room of the Xiao family have also arrived in Chang'an, and the second lady Li is arrogant, and she wants her son Xiao Tingde to compare Xiao Tingchen, but who would have thought that the concubine who had nothing at the beginning would suddenly become a king with a different surname? !

Even if her son rides a fast horse, he can't catch up with Xiao Tingchen's promotion speed!

She had mixed feelings in her heart, but she no longer dared to deal with Xiao Tingchen like before, she only dared to speak ill of Su Jiu, "Congratulations to Miss Su, who is about to become the daughter-in-law of our Xiao family." ”

Su was shy.

The person she used to call her second aunt actually became her mother-in-law in a blink of an eye......

She lowered her eyes and said softly: "I am young, and if I do anything wrong in the future, I will ask my second aunt to forgive me and advise." ”

"Yo, I don't dare to talk about advice." Li Shi covered his mouth with a handkerchief, "Why does Miss Su call me second aunt again, you are now the daughter of Lu Guogong, I can't afford your aunt." But you are also lucky, Lu Guogong has fallen, and you have climbed the high branch of our Huaijin again...... The main thing is that we have a good heart and don't care if you are perfect......"

The more she talked, the more outrageous it became, and Xiao Fengxian coughed in the middle, but she didn't even pause.

Su wine is embarrassed.

She clutched the embroidered handkerchief tightly, and the eyes of the people around her fell on her, and she felt as if they could penetrate the layers of clothes and skirts, and stare her out of a hole.

When he was uncomfortable, Xiao Tingchen helped the old lady out.

The old lady felt sorry for Su Jiu's grievances these days, and pitied her for her miserable life, so she hugged her and comforted her softly.

Xiao Tingchen was called to the study by Xiao Long.

A man in his forties was a little uncomfortable facing his son.

It took him more than ten years to come to Chang'an to be an official, and he was only a five-grade petty official, but his son ascended to the sky in one step and directly became a king with a different surname.

This psychological gap is not ordinarily large.

He motioned for Xiao Tingchen to sit on the big chair, and said with a stiff face: "It's cold in high places, and the prince is not so easy to be." You look at King Su, he will go back to Chang'an every winter to report to the emperor, I heard that the emperor also intends to leave his family to live in Chang'an this year, it sounds good is a gift, and if it is not good, it is clear that he will keep them as hostages. ”

Xiao Tingchen played with the thin pipe and bowed his head, "I wrote down my father's teachings." ”

Xiao Long was silent, and then said: "You and Tingde are both my sons, Tingde is stupid, and he is not as smart as you." You have a lot of connections in Chang'an, so you have to help your brother more. ”

"Okay."

Xiao Long saw that he agreed simply, and he didn't know whether he really agreed or fake, so he had to divert the topic, "You want to marry Su Jiu as a side concubine?" ”

"yes."

"I don't agree to this marriage. If Lu Guogong did not fall, then it can be considered. But Lu Guogong is burdened with crimes, Su Jiu is now the daughter of a criminal minister, and she herself is indecent, and she is in the palace with men-"

"Father."

Xiao Tingchen interrupted him.

Xiao Long was puzzled, "What?" ”

"This marriage is given by the emperor, if you are dissatisfied, you can go to the emperor to reason, what's the use of looking for me?"

"You-"

"Retire."

Xiao Tingchen got up and left.

Xiao Long slapped the table, "Xiao Huaijin, don't forget that I'm your son!" ”

Xiao Tingchen looked back at him.

Peach Blossom smiled lightly, and he said softly, "My son can't prevent me from marrying Su Xiaojiu." ”

Xiao Long watched him leave, and hated and scolded "evil obstacles".

After scolding, he walked quickly behind the screen, pointed to the door and said angrily: "Look at your son, now that he is powerful and powerful, even I don't care about it anymore!" ”

Behind the screen, the beauty wearing a pear blossom white jacket skirt is contemplating with her cheeks up.

She looked at the window, her long, dark eyelashes obscuring her eyes.

Just a side face, it was already incredibly beautiful, which made Xiao Long's anger disappear in an instant.

He sat down beside her, his voice softer, "It's not a thing to talk to us about anything." It's just a matter of marrying Su Jiu, but she's just a side concubine. But how could he let his mother be a lady of the first grade? In my opinion, this title should be up to you. ”

The beauty indifferently opened the scroll.

Xiao Long was treated coldly, but he was not annoyed.

Such a stunning beauty, just looking at it is already very pleasing to the eye, where is she willing to scold?

The first time he met her came to his mind.

There was a lot of water in the south of the Yangtze River, and she was lying on the wooden plank in rags, down the river, and happened to be bumped into by him on a boat cruise.

He saved her.

She claimed that she only remembered her own name, and all other memories were lost, and she didn't remember where she came or how she returned, but he didn't care, he thought that he and her were "golden wind and jade dew when they met, and they won countless people in the world".

Now, twenty-one years later, he is old, but her appearance is still as beautiful and cold as a girl.

How can he not like it?

He held Xue Ling's hand and said softly: "It's the first time you come to Chang'an, and in a few days, I'll take you out for a walk." Chang'an is the most prosperous place in Daqi, and you will definitely love it. ”

Xue Ling withdrew her hand coldly, "I don't go out, and I don't see outsiders." ”

The almond-like autumn water shears her eyes with coolness, and the small light of the stars appeared in her eyes, like the years in the past that could not be confided in outsiders.

……

Matsuju-in.

After the Xiao Mansion and the family finished lunch, Su Jiu followed Xiao Tingchen to the wing.
