Xiao Yuexi cried and laughed: "Isn't this okay? If I don't even give the queen face, my charge of pampering and arrogance will be confirmed. ”

"Queen?" Mu Yun smiled a little sarcastically, and said nonchalantly: "Lu Jinxiu is just relying on her cousin who is three thousand miles away, that is, the queen mother." Now the Queen Mother feels more and more that she is useless, and she no longer has the intention of protecting her. Madam, you are different, your backer is a husband! ”

Xiao Yuexi's scalp was numb because of the ambiguous tone of his last sentence, his eyes dodged and did not look at him, and said dryly: "You talk well!" ”

Mu Yun chuckled for a while and said, "You are too easy to be shy!" ”

Xiao Yuexi put down the chopsticks and was about to run, but was lightly held down by Mu Yun and said, "Okay, okay!" I won't tease you, eat some more, good. ”

Xiao Yuexi: "......"

Mu Yun said lightly: "Hmm...... You probably know who has been added to the palace these days, right? Except for the person who Chen Aya is Lu Jinxiu, the rest are related to the Queen Mother, in fact, Chen Aya doesn't have to be in such a high position, I also want to make the Queen Mother's mustard for Lu Jinxiu deeper. ”

Xiao Yuexi: "...... The emperor has all the opportunities, and he still has time to worry about the intrigues of these deep palace women? ”

"What if it weren't?" Mu Yun chuckled. "Are you coming?"

Xiao Yuexi was at a loss: "Me? What am I coming for? ”

Mu Yun chuckled, didn't answer, and asked instead, "Do you want to go back to the mansion to have a look?" ”

"Huh?" Xiao Yuexi was stunned for a moment, and then an irrepressible joy appeared on her face. "Is that okay?" she asked. ”

Mu Yun said indifferently: "Although it is troublesome, it is not impossible, if you want to, I ......"

Xiao Yuexi suddenly interrupted as if she remembered something: "Forget about the trouble, it's enough for the palace concubine to go out of the palace to participate in the investigation of the case, don't make any more moths come out." ”

Mu Yunqing: "It's rare for Madam to be so considerate, but don't worry, it's nothing." You quelled the chaos and investigated the epidemic, which is a great achievement, so what's wrong with allowing you some privileges. As early as when you didn't return to Beijing, I mentioned the reward, and I just went out of the palace to return to my hometown to save my relatives, and I couldn't talk about rewards. ”

“…… Stop! If it goes on like this, the disaster for the country and the people is me! Xiao Yuexi couldn't laugh or cry. Your Majesty, can you take it easy? ”

His Majesty the Emperor smiled at her and said, "No. ”

Xiao Yuexi rolled her eyes back and did not continue the topic.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, Xiao Yuexi got up early in the morning.

Since he decided to show his face at the chrysanthemum banquet, he had to hang out in front of the Queen Mother.

Xiao Yuexi pulled out a set of moon-white embroidered silver butterfly skirts from a pile of colorful dresses, she was used to wearing black, this set couldn't help but get goosebumps at first glance, but it was more comfortable than a bunch of flowers and willows that didn't know what to do.

Mu Lan pressed Xiao Yuexi to the dresser to comb her hair, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Madame came back so easily, not to mention dressing better for those who chew their tongues to see!" ”

"Do I care what they think?" Xiao Yuexi said with a smile, seeing Mu Lan turn out a set of hair accessories that looked quite heavy, her face changed, and she stuffed back all the things she turned out with her hands and feet, and still said urgently as if she was not at ease: "Don't take these things out, lock them in the cabinet, and the key is sunk into the lotus pond and not allowed to be fished out!" ”

Mu Lan: "...... Madam, the slave has never seen a woman like you who doesn't like to decorate herself! ”

Xiao Yuexi glanced at her and said, "I can sit here and let you put grease and powder on my hair bun, which is already very good!" ”

Mu Lan wanted to laugh and said, "Yes! You're too good! ”

Xiao Yuexi tossed out two delicate and elegant white hostas in the makeup box, and said reluctantly: "Wear this." ”

Mu Lan sighed, and helplessly inserted the two hairpins diagonally into Xiao Yuexi's black and smooth hair.

Xiao Yuexi said again: "You don't have to apply rouge, I'm 'recovering from a serious illness', and my complexion doesn't need to be too good." ”

Her complexion was indeed not good, and the dull pain in her chest became more and more serious, and she was often breathless, and her face was a little pale because of this.

Mu Lan thought that she had given up, so when she heard this, she covered the rouge box and began to clean up the things on the dresser—it seemed that her wife didn't need these anymore.

Xiao Yuexi said: "Don't pack up Mu Lan, accompany me to pick up the Sixth Highness, and then we will go to the Longevity Palace." ”

"Huh?" Mu Lan was stunned. "Madame, don't you have to go out with breakfast?"

Xiao Yuexi had already gotten up to get the cloak, the morning of early autumn was a little cold, she was not afraid before, but she drank the decoction of bitter death all day long, and she had already left a shadow in her heart, she didn't want to be poured a bunch of strange things by Li Ran because of the cold.

On the other hand, it is also because her current physique really can't stand the cold.

Mu Lingche slept soundly, but was woken up by Xiao Yuexi extremely savagely, until he was neatly dressed and led out by Xiao Yuexi, with a trace of dazedness on his immature little face, and he didn't ask questions.

Mu Lan on the side couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Madam, why do we want to bring the Sixth Highness?" ”

Xiao Yuexi had a malicious smile on her face, lowered her eyes and looked at the round Sixth Highness, and said, "For the sake of my precious son who I haven't seen for a long time, she won't be too embarrassed for me, right?" ”

Mu Lan: "......"

The round Sixth Highness finally reacted and exclaimed, "Wait! Mrs. Xiao, are we going to see the Queen Mother? ”

Xiao Yuexi winked at him: "Yes!" ”

"Huh?" Mu Lingche's face was full of disappointment and reluctance. "I ...... Can I not go? ”

Xiao Yuexi looked at this little doll that was not yet on her waist in surprise.

A child as old as Mu Lingche is generally very dependent on his mother, right? The Queen Mother also seems to love this precious son sincerely, why would Mu Lingche reject his mother like this?

Xiao Yuexi asked tentatively, "Why doesn't Your Highness want to see your mother?" Doesn't she treat you very well? ”

Mu Lingche followed Xiao Yuexi's footsteps and struggled to walk on two short legs, while muttering to himself: "The queen mother treats me very well...... Ah! Never mind! I haven't seen my mother for a long time, so I'll go with you! ”

Xiao Yuexi looked at him for a while, and became more and more shocked in her heart, what did the Queen Mother say and do in front of the Sixth Highness? Will a six-year-old learn to be secretive? I don't know, I thought that His Majesty the Emperor had poured some kind of ecstasy soup into this naïve imperial brother!

The Longevity Hall soon arrived, and Jin Gui outside the door didn't want to pay attention to Xiao Yuexi at first glance, but when he saw the Sixth Highness Xiao Yuexi holding in his hand, he froze in place, and it took a while to react and greet him.

"Oops! Isn't this Mrs. Xiao? The Sixth Highness is also here? The Queen Mother hasn't gotten up yet, Madame and Her Royal Highness are waiting here, allowing the slave and maid to pass it on. ”

As she spoke, she hurriedly retreated, and with that courteous appearance, she didn't know that she thought it was her living ancestor.

Mu Lan hid her smile on the side, lowered her voice and muttered in Xiao Yuexi's ear: "Madame is so prescient!" ”

Mrs. Xiao held a solemn shelf, staring intently but secretly warning and whispered: "Shut up!" ”

Mu Lan closed her mouth as if she were good, but she still couldn't help laughing, hanging her head and shoulders and shrugging one after another.

"Tsk!" Xiao Yuexi frowned, and cast a warning look, and Mu Lan finally restrained himself.

Jin Gui quickly went and returned, and said with a smile: "Madam, Your Highness Six, the Queen Mother has already risen, please go in." ”

The Queen Mother was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, and two maids were combing her hair. Through the bronze mirror, she saw her precious son at a glance, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

"Che'er, come to the queen mother!"

His Royal Highness hesitated, but still walked over with his head down, and called out "Queen Mother" in a sullen manner.

Xiao Yuexi has no doubt that if there is no outsider like her at this time, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will cry with joy.

The Queen Mother choked up and blamed: "You child, you haven't come to see the queen mother for so long, do you hate the queen mother so much?" ”

Mu Lingche shook his head and said, "No, no...... It's the emperor's brother, he asked his sons to memorize a lot of books, and he wanted his sons to stand out from the crowd when they enter Taixue next year......"

The Queen Mother looked at the Sixth Highness with some surprise, as if she didn't believe that Mu Yunqing would be so attentive to cultivation.

Mu Lingche said again: "But there shouldn't be any endorsement today, Mrs. Xiao took me out to play, and the royal brother shouldn't say anything......"

The Queen Mother's eyes fell on Xiao Yuexi's face, her expression was calm and relaxed, and she did not flinch from the Queen Mother's scrutinizing gaze, and blessed her body and gave a salute.

The Queen Mother calmed down and said indifferently: "The mourning family is really old and confused, Mrs. Xiao has been sick for a long time and has not come out, and the mourning family still makes people stand for so long." Jin Gui, give the seat - you too, don't remind the mourners. ”

Xiao Yuexi curtsied and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother looked at Xiao Yuexi carefully, perhaps because this person brought her precious son who she thought about day and night, at this time, the Queen Mother's eyes softened a lot, and her tone was no longer cold.

"Che'er is still a child, and it is boring to be with books all day long, and Mrs. Lao Xiao remembered and took him out to play."

Is this a thank-you? Xiao Yuexi laughed for a while in her heart, and said with a look of trepidation on her face: "The Queen Mother is serious. ”

After a pause, Xiao Yuexi got up and bowed down again, and said worriedly: "The concubine is guilty, I hope the queen mother will forgive her guilt." ”

The Queen Mother asked, "What are you guilty of?" ”

"The concubine has never asked the Queen Mother for peace since she returned to the palace, she is too ignorant of etiquette, please punish the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother waved her hand and said indifferently: "Sit down, since you know that this kind of practice is not rude, you will naturally not commit it unless you have to." The mourning family heard that you are seriously injured and have been bedridden? ”

Xiao Yuexi was about to say something, but His Royal Highness the Sixth suddenly rushed to say: "Queen Mother, the imperial brother does not allow her sons to see Mrs. Xiao, saying that she is seriously injured and should not be tired. ”

The Queen Mother touched Mu Ling Che's head lovingly.
