"Get up!"

Ye Xuanling didn't notice the change in Zitong's expression, and his cold voice still didn't have a trace of temperature: "What's the matter?"

Zitong seemed to be accustomed to Ye Xuanling's indifferent attitude, and instead of the slightest frustration on her face, she drew a trace of shyness: "The queen mother heard that Her Royal Highness came back, and specially prepared snacks with her own hands, please come over." ”

Ye Xuanling paused, turned his head to look at the expression on Zitong's face, and asked for a moment: "Besides the queen mother, is there anyone else?"

Every time I went to the queen before, there would be Ji Yangyu, and in the face of the opportunity deliberately created by the queen, Ye Xuanling really had no interest in accepting them.

Zitong was stunned, from Ye Xuanling's words, Zitong obviously heard that he didn't want to see Ji Yangyu, and his heart was inexplicably more excited, and he hurriedly shook his head and replied: "No, the queen mother said that she didn't like others to disturb the reunion of mother and son, so she deliberately sent away the ladies who invited An." ”

Hearing that there was no one else, Ye Xuanling's expression on his face eased slightly, and the darkness between his deep eyes was bottomless, but he was a little less defensive than just now.

Ji Yangyu was not there, and Fengxiang Palace still didn't have anything for him to avoid.

"Well, let's go!"

While speaking, Ye Xuanling turned his head and followed Zitong in the direction of Fengxiang Palace, the phantom purple robe flickering in the sun, making people want to get close but dare not blaspheme.

Zitong didn't have time to think about it, and followed Ye Xuanling closely, smelling the clearing fragrance emanating from his body, and the thoughts that he shouldn't have sprouted uncontrollably in his heart.

Bypassing the corridor to the Queen's Fengxiang Palace, Ye Xuanling followed Zitong inside, and the expression on his face was still cold and unchanged.

As the palace maid opened the curtain and walked in, she saw that the queen was sitting on the soft couch drinking tea, Ye Xuanling's eyebrows frowned slightly, and soon dispersed: "Erchen meets the queen mother!"

The queen paused, turned her head to look at Ye Xuanling, handed the cup in her hand to the palace maid on the side, got up and helped her up: "Let the queen mother take a look!"

As she spoke, the expression of the queen's eyes changed, her gaze swept back and forth on Ye Xuanling's face, and her eyes turned red as if she was distressed: "Tanned, and lost weight! This trip is really hard for you." ”

"The son-in-law cares about his mother!"

Ye Xuanling was supported by the queen, the expression on his face was more respectful than kind, but there was nothing wrong with it to outsiders.

The queen was also accustomed to his indifferent attitude, stretched out her hand to wipe a handful of tears from the corners of her eyes, and hooked the corners of her lips with relief: "You child, what are you doing so politely with the queen mother? The queen mother is only one of your sons, although it is not the flesh that fell from your body, but in the eyes of the queen mother, you are more important than your own life!"

Listening to the queen's words, Zitong stood on the side and pouted without a trace, and soon returned to his normal color, and no one saw it.

Ye Xuanling looked at the queen's motherly expression, and couldn't help but feel a touch of complexity in her heart, knowing in her heart that she didn't intend to wipe the face of this stepmother: "Erchen must remember the kindness of the queen mother!"

It's not just kindness, but also your unsightly things, do it on the pity, your face is not so big!

The queen didn't know that the matter of the chicken mother bead had been exposed, but she was very satisfied with Ye Xuanling's words, nodded, and seemed to remember something for a moment, and changed the topic.

"Before, the queen mother was worried that her identity was not enough to drag you back, so she was not satisfied with your marriage, but now I see that she has made great contributions to this matter in Xiaozhou, knowing that this child is a capable person who can help you, the queen mother will not say anything, just like it!"

While speaking, the queen thought she was kind enough to take out a pair of jade bracelets and handed them to Ye Xuanling: "This pair of bracelets was given by your grandmother, so give them to Nian Xi now!"

Ye Xuanling raised his eyelids to look at the queen, stretched out his hand to take it, and the expression on his face was still indifferent: "Thank your mother for success!"

Ye Xuanling knew very well what the queen had in mind, but now she was not as obvious as she was, and this layer of window paper was still necessary.

Ye Xuanling accepted the bracelet, and the queen's face was even more joyful, and she waved her hand to let the palace maid bring the prepared snacks, watch him eat a piece, and then speak.

"This trip to Xiaozhou can be regarded as a lot of receipts, and now that I have a fief, you might as well consider cultivating forces in Xiaozhou, and hide it deeply from afar. ”

As she spoke, the queen took a piece of osmanthus cake and put it on a small plate in front of Ye Xuanling.

Ye Xuanling was stunned, and the dim sum couldn't be eaten, her deep eyes fell on the queen's face, her face was indifferent without a trace of temperature, and her thin lips touched lightly for a long time, and a sentence floated out: "Is the queen mother trying to usurp the throne?"

The queen didn't expect Ye Xuanling to say it so bluntly, and with a sip of her hand holding the dim sum, the osmanthus cake fell on the table and shattered.

"Well, how do you say that! How can this be regarded as a usurper of the throne! The queen mother just suggested that you cultivate power, after all, the emperor is old. As she spoke, the queen disguised her panic and put on another piece of snack.

Speaking of which, Ye Xuanling didn't have to eat, put down the cup and looked at the Queen Mother, and there was an inexplicable deep meaning between his eyes: "My father is old and there is a prince, and it will make people think more about taking this opportunity to cultivate power." ”

At the mention of the crown prince, the queen's face turned a little colder, if her son didn't die, why did she bother cultivating Ye Xuanling's stepson?

However, the queen was unhappy in her heart, but she couldn't tell Ye Xuanling openly, so she could only suppress the irritability in her heart and analyze the current situation with him.

"The so-called prince is just based on the ranking, your talent is much higher than the current prince, speaking of which, he is a concubine and you are a concubine, it is unreasonable to give up the concubine, not to mention, now Ji Xiang is pinching the handle of Concubine Lin's side, and it is a matter of moving his fingers to drag the prince down. ”

While speaking, the queen reached out and took the teapot to refill Ye Xuanling personally, looking at him expectantly as if she were her own son.

Hearing Ji Xiang holding Concubine Lin's handle in his hand, Ye Xuanling thought a little more in his heart, but his face still remained unchanged: "The matter in Xiaozhou has just come to an end, it's too early to think about it, plus Erchen still has an assessment, these things are being planned later!"

As he spoke, Ye Xuanling reached out and took a sip of the cup, without agreeing or refusing, leaving only a space for the queen to think for herself.

Ye Xuanling didn't refuse, in the eyes of the queen, he was relieved, indicating that there was still room for negotiation in this matter, and the smile on his face became stronger for a while.

Everyone was busy with the surrounding affairs, and in the blink of an eye, the sun was already slightly setting in the west.

Ye Xuanling came out from the queen and went to Xiyang Palace to pick up Qiao Nianxi, everyone packed up and left the palace gate, and Zhang Yuan was already waiting outside.

Not only Zhang Yuan, the palace gate, but also the emperor and Cao De on the other side, compared to Zhang Yuan's carelessness, the master and servant had a little nervousness on their faces that did not match their identities.

Qiao Nianxi and Ye Xuanling approached and couldn't help grinning when they saw this scene, and they didn't have time to think about it anymore and turned their heads and walked towards the door.

See ......

When he arrived in front of the emperor, Qiao Nianxi was about to salute the emperor, but he didn't want to be dragged up by the emperor before he had time to bend his knees.

"What did you promise me to do, but you haven't done it yet!"

The emperor lowered his voice and glared at Qiao Nianxi, and his eyes glanced in the direction of Zhang Yuan intentionally or unintentionally.

Qiao Nian was sorry for a moment, followed the emperor's gaze and looked out, and the corners of his mouth drooped: "I can be in the same room with you left and right, why do you have to give your uncle a little time to digest!"

As soon as these words came out, the emperor didn't feel anything abnormal, but Ye Xuanling and Cao De next to him changed their faces.

What does it mean to be in the same room? How awkward does it sound?

Ponder it...... Emma, the more you think about it, the more wrong it becomes, it's dirty!

Cao De grinned, Ye Xuanling wrinkled his eyebrows, but he didn't want the two of them to change like this, and no one would care about it at all.

The emperor only cared about Zhang Yuan, and didn't pay too much attention to Qiao Nianxi's inappropriate words, listening to her words, it seemed to make some sense, and the expression on his face softened a little.

"No matter! Anyway, it hasn't been done yet, you have to work harder, otherwise the three holy decrees won't be able to give you!" As he spoke, the emperor stretched out three fingers and shook his eyes.

Qiao Nianxi lifted her eyelids and glanced at the emperor, sighed helplessly, and was about to speak, but heard Zhang Yuan coughing at the gate of the palace.

"Okay, I won't leave you longer, go back quickly!" The emperor's face tightened, and he pretended to straighten his body.

From the beginning, Ye Xuanling's face was not good-looking, and he didn't see his own father like this when he usually dealt with national affairs, why did Zhang Yuan come back like a monkey on his upper body, nothing was wrong?

The emperor also seemed to feel Ye Xuanling's gloomy gaze, but he pretended not to know and didn't look at him generally, and dragged Cao De all the way back with small steps.

Ye Xuanling couldn't help but look at the emperor's back, and with a slander against the emperor, everyone embarked on the way back.

This time, Zhang Yuan did not ride a horse, but sat in the carriage with Qiao Nianxi, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar scene outside from the curtain all the way, and his heart was full of emotion.

Although he still has a little resentment towards the emperor in his heart, he has to say that he is indeed a good emperor.

Looking at the scene outside all the way, Zhang Yuan seemed to feel the gaze on his side, and turned his head just to crash into Qiao Nianxi's dark eyes.

"I've seen all the way, what do you want to say?" Zhang Yuan's eyes moved slightly, and he looked down at Qiao Nianxi, his voice was still powerful, but it added a little more love.

"Has my uncle forgiven my father?" Qiao Nianxi tilted his head to look at Zhang Yuan, and his clear eyes were so pure that there was no trace of impurities.

Listening to Qiao Nianxi's "Father", Zhang Yuan's face sank obviously: "Hmph!

Qiao Nian regretted for a moment, reacted and reached out to grab Zhang Yuan's arm and shook it: "The person closest to Nian Xi is my uncle!"

Zhang Yuan liked to hear this, turned his head, reached out and touched Qiao Nianxi's head: "That's right! Your closest person is your uncle!

This domineering tone made Qiao Nianxi grin, but now that success or failure is on him, he can only coax: "But my father is Ye Xuanling's father, and I have to be filial, isn't it?"

As he spoke, Qiao Nianxi couldn't help but pout, his face was full of grievances and grievances, but when Zhang Yuan couldn't see it, a touch of cunning appeared on his lips.
