Chapter 26: Interrogation
As soon as Xiao Yuanhao and Empress Dowager Xu finished breakfast, Xu Jieyu brought the ninth princess Xiao Yuan's wife to say goodbye.
Xiao Yuan's wife took a piece of red rope in her hand, and she had to wrap Xiao Yuan to turn over the flower rope, but fortunately, it didn't take long for the fifth princess, the seventh princess, and the eighth princess to arrive one after another, and the Wanfu Palace was lively, and Xiao Yuan's wife didn't pester Xiao Yuan anymore.
There is going to be a family banquet tonight, so Kang Yijun and Fu Anjun have arrived.
Mrs. Kang Yijun asked the Empress Dowager Xu to say goodbye to Congyue, and went to Huaqing Palace, she is Yu Congyun's own sister, and the two sisters have not seen each other since the Huaqing Palace was closed, and they have a lot to say.
However, Fu'anjun's wife, Qin's family, invited An, and sat in the palace to talk to Empress Dowager Xu.
Empress Dowager Xu smiled and patted her hand and said, "You don't come to the palace, go and see Mrs. Cuiwei." She was very lonely in the palace. ”
Qin is a spicy and straightforward person, judging from her age, she can be the daughter-in-law of Empress Dowager Xu. But she was not timid at all in front of the Empress Dowager Xu, and smiled very happily: "The Empress Dowager doesn't have to worry about Mrs. Cuiwei, Mrs. Cuiwei will not treat herself badly." The queen mother went out of the palace to recuperate before, and my mother ran to my house twice in three days, so scared that Lang Jun heard that Mrs. Cuiwei was coming, and her legs and stomachs swirled. ”
"Nonsense again!" Empress Dowager Xu didn't treat the Qin family as a concubine, she only regarded her as her junior, "Your mouth, it's just not likable, turn around and let Mrs. Cuiwei hear this, she can't tell how to get angry, go quickly, please go to her!" I've got a lot of people here, so when the dinner starts in the evening, you can come again. ”
Empress Dowager Xu is right, Wanfu Palace is crowded with a bunch of people.
The ladies of each palace brought their children over to have fun and laugh, and although Mrs. Kang Yijun went to Huaqing Palace, she left her daughter Xiao Yuanchan behind. A few little girls are gathered together, no matter how dignified they are on weekdays, they can't help but show the form of a little daughter at this moment, and they are chattering, which makes people feel vibrant.
Empress Dowager Xu is old, so she likes to be so lively. She hugged Xiao Jianbao, the ninth son who was still in swaddling clothes, and talked to Xiao Jianbao's biological mother, He Zhaorong, and asked He Zhaorong how many times Xiao Jianbao ate milk at night, how many times he woke up, and so on.
He Zhaorong is not very old, with a round face and baby fat, and his eyes are curved into a crescent moon when he laughs, which is very pleasing.
She replied to Empress Dowager Xu's words softly, and from time to time she glanced at Xiao Yuanhao curiously, probably wondering why Xiao Yuanhao didn't go to play with the sisters, but stayed by Empress Dowager Xu's side to watch a little baby.
Empress Dowager Xu also quickly noticed Xiao Yuanhao's abnormality, she hurriedly returned Xiao Jianbao to He Zhaorong, hugged Xiao Yuanhao and asked, "Ah Hao, is there something uncomfortable?" Why don't you go out with a few of your sisters? ”
Xiao Yuan smiled obediently and skillfully, she was embarrassed to say that the things that those little girls were playing with were too low-level and childish, she felt bored after watching it for a while, and she didn't want to play at all.
Empress Dowager Xu completely misunderstood Xiao Yuanhao: "Are you not familiar with several sisters?" ”
She beckoned the children to come forward, and said quite lovingly: "Your tenth sister was sick in the past, and she did not go to school with you when she was cured, and you don't know her very well. In fact, your tenth sister is a very smart little girl. Achan, Awan, you are sisters, you have to be a good demeanor for your sisters......"
Xiao Yuanchan was very unconvinced, pursed the corners of her lips, and said, "We didn't bully her, she didn't play with us herself." ”
Empress Dowager Xu was in a very good mood today, and she didn't get angry because of Xiao Yuanchan's words, she hugged Xiao Yuan and said with a smile: "Ah Hao, is he shy?" Don't be afraid, your sisters have good tempers. ”
As if in order to verify Empress Dowager Xu's words, the fifth princess Xiao Yuanwan stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Yuan's hand, and smiled sweetly: "Tenth sister, you come down and play with us." What do you want to play? ”
The eighth princess, Xiao Yuanshu, also rushed over, and compared to Xiao Yuanwan, her movements were much more rude: "Xiao Shi, come with me, let's go to a snowball fight." ”
Xiao Yuan was so helpless that he had to follow Xiao Yuanshu.
Empress Dowager Xu couldn't help but shake her head, and sighed with Mrs. Lanxiang Qian Yingping: "It's still Ah Shu's temper to Ah Hao, Ah Shu is not afraid of heaven and earth, and if Ah Hao is brought like this, how can the two monkeys marry in the future?" ”
There was laughter and laughter in the hall, but several children came out of the main hall, standing in the open courtyard of Wanfu Palace, the eighth princess Xiao Yuanshu crossed her hands on her waist, and looked serious: "Xiao Shi, if I ask you, you have to answer me honestly." ”
The princesses play together, and the palace ladies are far away, so there are only a few sisters in this corner. Several princesses fanned Xiao Yuanhao in the middle, and they all stared at her with serious faces.
Xiao Yuan understood at a glance, where was this pulling her out to play, it was clearly to interrogate her.
It's just a few milky little girls, so she's not afraid.
"What? Does the eighth sister want to set up a private prison? ”
Xiao Yuanshu looked very fierce: "Don't talk so much nonsense, let me ask you, Liuchun Palace was sealed, is it because of you!" ”
"Do you need to ask?" Xiao Yuanchan is the oldest, but she doesn't look like an eldest sister at all, "I'm outside the palace, and all I hear all day long is about you, what can you do poetry at the age of four, never forget, smart and smart...... Phew! When I don't know, it's not the reputation that someone has done for you! ”
"Sister Achan," Xiao Yuanwan grabbed Xiao Yuanchan, "Don't say that, it's good, she's still young......"
"Hmph, Ah Wan, your heart is too good, I think Ah Hao is deep in thought. Look at how many things have happened in and out of this palace since she got well! Not to mention anything else, a while ago, she caused Huaqing Palace to be sealed for more than two months, and Ah Ru lost a lot of weight! ”
The seventh princess, Xiao Yuanru, bit her lip, Xiao Yuanwan glanced at her and didn't speak again.
No one noticed that Xiao Yuanwen quietly withdrew from the encirclement.
"You speak!" Xiao Yuanshu stomped her feet, pointed at Xiao Yuan, and said, "Do you know that the sixth brother cried all night yesterday and didn't eat anything?" ”
Xiao Yuan pursed his lips and stared at the few little girls in front of him without saying a word.
Xiao Yuanshu was a little weak-hearted, and snorted coldly: "What do you see? Answer me quickly! ”
"Don't push her." Xiao Yuanru said coldly, "She is a big ghost, and if she turns around and sues us in front of her grandmother and father, we will all be punished." Have you forgotten that last time my brother was forced by her to compensate a? ”
"You're really bad! How could someone like the Jade Queen give birth to such a bad blank as you! Xiao Yuanchan's eyes rolled, and she suddenly smiled evilly, "Xu Yuhou herself is such a person, she used to pretend, just to win a good reputation as a Jade Queen......"
