Xiao Yuexi was quietly a little happy, this Sixth Highness was really her little lucky star, he didn't need to think about it at all when he spoke, and a casual few words could make the Queen Mother's gaze at her extremely gentle, without any hostility when she first entered the palace.

Thinking of what Mu Yun said lightly last night, "The Queen Mother has been feeling that Lu Jinxiu is useless more and more recently", Xiao Yuexi suddenly understood another meaning - the Queen Mother is afraid that she really wants to give up Lu Jinxiu's waste.

Xiao Yuexi is not very concerned about which camp she joins, but she can't help but put Mu Yunqing first in everything, if it will be beneficial to Mu Yunqing to receive the olive branch thrown by the Queen Mother, then she doesn't mind mediating with the Queen Mother more.

It's just that obviously, the two are different in the end.

She thought that when she first entered the palace, Mu Yun gently shook out a lot of reasons and excuses to try to let her stay, including the cause of his biological mother's death. Forget about anything else, Mu Yunqing is not the kind of person who makes a fuss about his mother, Xiao Yuexi firmly believes this. Some details of the year also showed that the Queen Mother had nothing to do with this matter, and Mu Yunqing even hinted that Xiao Yuexi had to pay more attention.

Jin Gui suddenly walked in, interrupting Xiao Yuexi's musings. Jin Gui walked up to the Queen Mother and said respectfully: "Queen Mother, breakfast has been prepared." ”

The Queen Mother eased her expression and said, "You came so early, you must not have time for breakfast, right?" ”

Speaking of eating, the taciturn Mu Lingche finally had a little vitality, and he danced and gestured: "Queen Mother, the son is hungry!" ”

The Queen Mother stretched out her index finger and gently scraped it on the nose of the Sixth Highness, and her loving gaze made her whole person look a lot softer, no longer domineering, and no longer like a calculating woman in the deep palace. At this moment, she is just a mother.

The atmosphere of the breakfast was a little delicate, and while the Queen Mother cared for her son, she actually paid some attention to Xiao Yuexi: "Mrs. Xiao has a bad complexion, she should take more supplements, this duck soup is good, you should eat more." ”

Xiao Yuexi was really flattered, although she had eaten a little, she still failed to brush off the kindness of others, and poured half a bowl of soup.

"Queen Mother." A little eunuch came in from outside and said, "The queen mother has come to say goodbye." ”

The soft smile on the queen mother's face froze slightly, and a trace of impatience flashed in her eyes, as if she didn't really want to deal with the queen at this time.

But then I didn't know what I thought, and said indifferently: "Let her in." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yuexi picked up the handkerchief at hand and wiped the corners of her mouth, got up and stepped aside, stroked the folds of her cuffs, and waited for the queen to drive the phoenix dignifiedly.

Seeing this, a trace of surprise flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes, as if she couldn't imagine that Mrs. Xiao, who was born in Jiangmen and was famous for her barbarism and rudeness in the capital since she was a child, would be so polite.

Xiao Yuexi naturally couldn't fail to see the meaning of the Queen Mother's expression, and her heart was filled with a touch of triumph, and she couldn't help but think of her sister-in-law Ji Bingxin - all of this is really due to her.

Xiao Yuexi just doesn't want to, it doesn't mean she's stupid, Ji Bingxin has been poisoning her ears for so many years, and it's time to teach pigs, how can she not teach her? If she wanted to, her demeanor would not be lost to any official lady.

Lu Jinxiu came dignified and decent, and saluted respectfully, only then did she look at Xiao Yuexi with some surprise: "Sister Xiao is also there?" What a rarity! Hongu hasn't seen you in a long time. ”

Xiao Yuexi said: "The concubine has been unwell recently, and I hope the queen will not blame her for the rudeness." ”

"Where, Where, ......"

The two of you greeted me for a while, as if they were so close, and in the end, even the Queen Mother couldn't stand it, and said indifferently: "The chrysanthemum banquet is the pastime of your young people, and the mourning family will not delay you." ”

This is an eviction order.

The queen smiled softly and said: "The minister will retire first, I haven't seen Sister Xiao for a long time, and I am very worried about it, while the other sisters have not yet arrived, you and I sisters have a good talk." ”

"Yes." Xiao Yuexi blessed her body, and gave a salute to the Queen Mother: "The concubine retired." ”

Mu Lingche had already eaten enough and ran to the side to play, and when he saw this scene, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Then the queen mother, the son-in-law has also retired!" ”

A hint of reluctance flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes, and she asked in a tangled manner: "Che'er, don't you want to accompany your mother more?" ”

Mu Lingche said: "But Erchen still has to endorse it." ”

"But what did you say just now......" The Queen Mother said halfway, and did not say anything more, but her eyes fell on Xiao Yuexi intentionally or unintentionally. She understood that Xiao Yuexi took Mu Lingche out of the house, and His Majesty the Emperor would turn a blind eye and ignore it, but if Mu Lingche didn't follow Xiao Yuexi, he could only go back to Qingliang Palace. She once hated boring women, but now she has the bargaining chips for their mother and son to meet!

The Queen Mother sighed, waved her hand and said, "That's it!" Che'er, you have to work hard when you go back and fight for your mother, you know? ”

Mu Lingche nodded stiffly and retreated with Xiao Yuexi and the others.

After Jin Gui sent these people away, he turned back, looked at the Queen Mother worriedly, and before he could speak, he listened to the Queen Mother say slowly: "Jin Gui, you say ...... Did the Emperor find something? ”

"How is that possible?" Jin Gui couldn't believe it. "The Queen Mother is thinking too much."

The Queen Mother let out a sigh and sneered: "I hope it's because of the mourning family...... But this Mrs. Xiao is really not as simple as it seems on the surface. ”

——————

As soon as he walked out of the gate of the Longevity Palace, Mu Lingche was led back to the Qingliang Hall by the little eunuch who was traveling with him.

Xiao Yuexi followed the queen's right two steps away unhurriedly, her expression was indifferent, her steps were light, and the way to Jiaofang Hall should be in line with the queen's fake politeness, and there was no ups and downs on her face, and even Mu Lan on the side was secretly frightened: Is her wife so good-tempered?

Xiao Yuexi really can't adapt to such an activity full of boudoir atmosphere as flower appreciation and tea tasting, and when she goes to that pestle, the cold and arrogant momentum spreads slightly, and it looks even more out of place.

But she finally understood why the queen set up such a boring little banquet-

Lu Jinxiu was playing with a rare variety of green chrysanthemum, with a generous and decent smile on her lips, and said to Xiao Yuexi as if she were gossiping: "In the days when my little sister is not there, a few newcomers have been added to the palace, but the grade is not enough to enter the Jiaofang Palace, and the palace is familiar, just thinking that Sister Xiao, you haven't seen them yet, so you set up a small banquet in my place, and everyone is lively and lively together." ”

Xiao Yuexi smiled back with an elegant smile, but muttered in her heart: Is this beating me?

All the harem concubines and concubines who have served and slept in the palace, even if you are a picking girl, you can enter the Jiaofang Palace in the morning and dusk, and only those who have not been fortunate can only worship outside the Jiaofang Palace. Lu Jinxiu said indifferently on her face, but in fact, why didn't she accuse her of being a pet?

But then, Xiao Yuexi muttered another layer in shock: This group of flowers have become the same beauty, and he has never touched any of them?

Not far away, a figure in a pale cyan palace dress walked slowly, and he had seen them one by one before, and at this time, Xiao Yuexi naturally recognized this woman with the most outstanding appearance - Chen Aya.

"Queen Mother, Mrs. Xiao." Chen Ayachong blessed the two of them, and his voice was soft and tactful, which made people feel intoxicated. Looking at her face again, four big words flashed in Xiao Yuexi's mind - water hibiscus.

It's so beautiful and quiet, so beautiful that it doesn't stain the dust, if there really is any fairy who has fallen into the mortal world, that's what it looks like.

Xiao Yuexi carefully looked at the head of the four beauties in Beijing for the first time, and a sour feeling arose in her heart - it seems that most men like this, right?

She has never cared about these things, and when she was named the end of the four beauties in Beijing, she didn't have too many feelings except for crying and laughing. Reportedly. In terms of appearance, the four beauties are indistinguishable, but Xiao Yuexi loses in the woman's elegant bearing, if she is born as a man, that skin matches her unruly temperament, she may become the first of beautiful men, but unfortunately, as a woman, there is no dignity that a woman should have.

The queen gave Chen Aya a little help and said with a smile: "Aya, don't be polite, needless to say to the palace, Mrs. Xiao is not such a stereotypical person." ”

…… Okay! Is this a change of law to hurt me? Xiao Yuexi raised her eyebrows, hooked half of the corners of her lips and said, "The queen really knows the concubine!" Concubine Chen doesn't have to be polite, speaking of which, it's the first time we've met, right? ”

Chen Aya hung her head slightly and said respectfully: "Mrs. Hui, it is indeed the first time I have seen you." ”

This is not surprising, from the capital to the state and county, all the children of the official family combined, Xiao Yuexi can count the broken fingers he has seen, and he runs the rivers and lakes from south to north, how can he have the heart to enjoy the flowers and lakes with these people?

Lu Jinxiu smiled: "This palace also thought of this before setting up a banquet, come, sister drink tea." ”

As she spoke, she handed over a cup of tea, Mu Lan saw this, took it quickly, and then knelt down with a "poof", and said nervously as if she had to speak: "The queen forgives her sins!" My wife has not recovered from her illness, and her qi and blood are insufficient, so the doctor said that she should not drink tea. ”

The queen's face was originally covered with a layer of gloom, and when she heard this, she was stunned, so she had to restrain her emotions and said apologetically: "Look at the memory of this palace, it really deserves to be punished!" Poria, go and bring the Qionghua nectar that was stored in the palace to Mrs. Xiao to taste. ”

As soon as she finished giving the order, Chen Aya glanced at her, and continued to maintain her courtesy and said carefully: "The queen reminded the concubine of the time when she was still in the mansion. Niangniang is the best at making honeydew, and it is often difficult to find a jar of honeydew! ”

Lu Jinxiu smiled, accepted her praise with peace of mind, and did not forget to say modestly: "What is hard to find, but it is just a matter of doing less, so that you can say as if it is rare." ”

Chen Aya smiled elegantly, like a hibiscus blooming. She said: "Speaking of which, in the past, the concubines were the most oral, I wonder if I can taste the queen's craftsmanship again with the light of Mrs. Xiao today?" ”
