Five days later, the Jiaofang Palace.

Yu Qiao reported in a low voice: "The Empress Dowager Qi, the Empress Dowager has summoned Miss Yu Wu into the palace again today." ”

Mrs. Yu's face sank suddenly.

Xie Mingxi summoned Yu Wan to the Fulin Palace almost every day to accompany her, or to play the piano and paint, or to gossip at will. Everyone knows her love for Yu Wan.

It's annoying that looking at the smart and clever Yu Wan is also a fool. was quickly blinded by Huairou's tricks, and talked and laughed with Xie Mingxi every day......

It's annoying to think about it!

Empress Dowager Yu calmed down and opened her mouth to order: "Pass on the message of the mourning family, let the queen and Yu Wan come to the Jiaofang Palace to accompany the mourning family for dinner." ”

Yu Qiao retreated.

After a stick of incense, Empress Xie stepped into the Jiaofang Palace.

Xie Mingxi has been in a good mood recently, with a ruddy complexion, a smile on his lips, and no fat powder, still bright and shiny. Yu Wan followed behind Xie Mingxi, also smiling and radiant.

The two of them saluted together.

"The daughter-in-law has seen the queen mother."

"Wan'er has seen the Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Yu glanced at it, her heart was angry, and she said with a smile: "Don't be polite." I really didn't expect the two of you to have a similar temperament. ”

After Xie Mingxi got up, he smiled happily: "What the queen mother said is true." The daughter-in-law and Sister Wan hit it off at first sight and spoke speculatively. In the past few days, my daughter-in-law often summons my sister Wan into the palace to talk! ”

A mouthful of a Wan sister, hearing this, Empress Dowager Yu's stomach churned.

She "showed kindness" to Xie Yuanting, and "gave marriage" to Xie Yuanwei, putting on an attitude of courtesy to the Xie family, so as to respond to Xie Mingxi.

Xie Mingxi's counterattack came just as quickly. It's only been a few days, and he used gentle means to win over the stupid Yu Wan...... showed her in front of her, deliberately stabbing her eyes.

Empress Dowager Yu resisted the urge to sneer, and said with a pleasant smile: "Sister-in-law is harmonious, which is also a good thing. ”

Then, he looked at Yu Wan with a smile: "Wan'er, it's your blessing that the queen loves you." When you are summoned to the palace, you will speak well to the queen. Don't let down the queen's good intentions. ”

Yu Wan lowered her eyes slightly, and responded softly.

The biggest backer of the Yu family is the Empress Dowager Yu.

Her parents, grandfather and grandmother told her that she must not disobey the will of the Empress Dowager Yu.

Xie Mingxi also said to her: "The queen mother is getting older, and her temperament is becoming more and more stubborn and eccentric, and she can't tolerate half a sentence of rebellion." You and I are both juniors, no matter what the queen mother says, just listen to it. Don't go against it. ”

"However, it's one thing to listen or not, and it's another thing to do it or not."

Speaking of this, Xie Mingxi smiled at her meaningfully: "Sister Wan, you are a smart person with a delicate mind. I must have my own ideas and opinions. ”

……

When it was time to dine at noon, Yu Wan refused to sit at the table, insisting on standing beside the Empress Dowager Yu and preparing dishes for the Empress Dowager Yu.

The anger in Empress Dowager Yu's heart dissipated slightly, and after lunch, Yu Wan was left to speak.

"Wan'er, you call the mourning family an aunt, the mourning family has more than a dozen nieces, and you are the one who appreciates it the most."

"The mourning family did not give marriage indiscriminately. The mourning family gave you a marriage to Xiao Xie Tanhua, which was the talent and character of Xiao Xie Tanhua. In the future, you will know the bitterness of the mourning family. ”

Maybe it's because I've been on the top for a long time, or maybe it's because the purpose of the Empress Dowager Yu is too obvious, these insincere words lose sincerity, and only make people feel chilling and ridiculous.

Yu Wan responded respectfully in her mouth, and for some reason, there was a burst of sadness in her heart.

In the past few days, Xie Mingxi summoned her to the palace, and did not say anything about the Yu family and the Xie family, and even Xie Yuanwei rarely mentioned it. The two mostly talk about poetry subsets, or play chess with the piano.

Xie Mingxi is the most outstanding student of Lotus Pond Academy, and has also set a record of perfect scores in the examination at the age of five consecutive years.

Yu Wan was also admitted to Lianchi Academy at the age of ten, and that year was when Xie Mingxi was at his peak. Yu Wan's admiration for Xie Mingxi is genuine and not adulterated.

After a few days of getting along, the admiration in Yu Wan's heart turned into a subtle look.

Queen Xie, who is full of talent, easy-going and amiable, and the sinister and cunning Queen Xie in her father's mouth, are like two people......

Yu Wan's faith is constantly wavering.

Empress Dowager Yu's voice sounded in her ears again: "Wan'er, you have to remember that your surname is Yu." Even if you marry a wife, you will always be the daughter of the Yu family. There is a mourning family, and the Xie family will never dare to treat you slowly. If the Xie family despises you, the mourning family will not spare the Xie family. ”

Yu Wanding calmed down and responded softly: "Wan'er has written down everything the Queen Mother said." ”

Empress Dowager Yu said again: "You are a body to be married, and it is not appropriate to go out of the house from time to time." The mourning family said to the queen, and it is inconvenient to summon you into the palace from time to time in the future. ”

"Yes."

Empress Dowager Yu saw that Yu Wan was very docile and obedient, and the anger in her heart finally receded. rewarded Yu Wan with dozens of fine palace satins, and then let Yu Wan leave the palace and return to Yu's mansion.

……

"You summoned Miss Yu Wu into the palace to talk for a few days in a row. It seems that the queen mother is in a hurry with you. At noon today, he cut off Hu and summoned Miss Yu Wu into the Jiaofang Palace. ”

That night, in the bedroom of Fulin Palace, Sheng Hong's slightly joking voice came out.

Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "The queen mother is becoming more and more impetuous, and she is becoming more and more unable to hold her breath." Even this little trick can provoke the queen mother's anger. ”

Once a person is impetuous and irritable, he is prone to fainting.

The forces outside the palace have been greatly weakened, and the palace is no longer the world of Empress Dowager Yu alone. Power is like clenched sand, no matter how hard you try, you can't hold it all, and it slowly flows out of your fingers.

Empress Dowager Yu is like a trapped beast, cloudy and uncertain, moody.

Sheng Hong asked casually, "What do you think of Miss Yu Wu?" ”

Xie Mingxi said very pertinently: "Smart and keen, soft on the outside and strong on the inside. Xie Yuanwei was able to marry her, which was indeed his blessing. ”

Because of his outstanding talent, Xie Mingxi's standards for others and himself have always been quite high. It's rare to praise the ladies of any family like this.

Sheng Hong was a little surprised, and laughed and teased: "I thought you did it on purpose for everyone to see." Unexpectedly, you really appreciate Miss Yu Wu. ”

Xie Mingxi smiled faintly: "Yu Wan is very smart, so I never say in front of her that the queen mother is not, let alone the Yu family." ”

"It's because she's so smart that she knows better what kind of awkward situation she's going to face."

"Whether she is happy for life or not, no one cares. The queen mother used her as a pawn and pressed into Xie's house. Yu Guangde, his father, has no intention of defending her. ”

"How could she not notice all this?"

"I don't have to do anything, I don't have to say anything. As long as I show kindness, as long as I treat her closely, she will waver. ”

She has a grudge against her family. She will be the wife of the Xie family, and my kindness to her will enable her to gain a foothold in the Xie family. ”

"She's a smart person and she's going to choose what's best for her."
