In the Jiaofang Palace, Gu Shanchang's joyful and anxious voice came out: "Mingxi, Shuyuan led the troops back to Beijing today. When will we see her? ”

Xie Mingxi smiled dumbly, and his voice was overflowing with irrepressible joy: "Master, don't be in a hurry. According to the practice of the DPRK and China, today the emperor personally went out of the city to greet General Lian, who returned triumphantly, and then there was a palace banquet to celebrate. I want to see General Lian, but I can't get the night. ”

Isn't it?

General Lian is a general who has returned from victory, and the treatment and honors he deserves are the same.

Gu Shanchang smiled and patted his head: "Look at me, when I am happy, I even forgot such important things." There is no hurry, we just wait patiently. ”

Xie Mingxi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "The emperor set up a banquet to celebrate the victorious return of the generals of Great Qi. I will also have a feast this evening to celebrate the victory of my master's army. Just a surprise for the Master. ”

This is not a spur of the moment.

As early as a few days ago, when he learned that General Lian was about to return to Beijing, Xie Mingxi had such a plan. These days, I sent invitations to a group of classmates and friends and the masters in the Lotus Pond Academy.

Gu Shanchang was the first to receive the invitation, and he was also the most important guest. Wen Yan smiled and said: "Okay, let's wait for Shuyuan tonight, and come to a drunken homeless." ”

……

After noon, classmates and friends and masters entered the palace one by one.

As in the old days when I was in the academy, my classmates sat at one table, and my masters sat at another.

Ji Fuzi, who has already been the head of the Lotus Pond Academy, has a bright smile and good spirits. Su Fuzi is still as gentle and gentle as ever. It's a pity that Master Yang is in Shudi, and Master Dong has also been in Shudi. Among the classmates, there were also two who were not in the capital and failed to enter the palace for the banquet.

Tonight, there's still a face that hasn't been seen for a long time.

This was a woman about thirty years old. The eyebrows and eyes are still vaguely pretty, the corners of the eyes on the forehead are wrinkled, and the expression is a little dull. It's like a pool of stagnant water.

Fang Ruomeng and the others greeted and talked to her, but she ignored it, or nodded or shook her head, and almost never opened her mouth to speak.

Only when his eyes fall on Xie Mingxi's body will there be some waves. There is also a trace of freshness to be a human being.

This woman is the fourth grandmother of the Chu family.

General Chu won a big victory, and he should show favor to the Chu family because of his feelings. Moreover, the grievances between the Huainan Mansion and the Xie family have been a few years ago, and almost no one remembers that this fourth grandmother of Chu who never appeared in front of people was the arrogant and domineering Sheng Jinyue back then.

A group of classmates and girls back then have different experiences now.

For example, Xiao Yuhan and Yin Xiaoxiao, whose husbands died, each lived in the palace with their children.

The widows don't wear any bright colors, and they are all plain palace dresses. Xiao Yuhan is a little thin, but his spirit is good. Yin Xiaoxiao also had a ruddy face and a smile in her eyes, obviously having survived the most painful time.

Lin Weiwei, Yan Zhenzhen, Qin Sijing, Fang Ruomeng, and their husbands are very affectionate, although they are not young, they are beautiful and calm.

And Xie Mingxi is even more beautiful, with unparalleled demeanor, even better than when he was young.

Oh, yes! Queen Xie, who lives in the favor of the Son of Heaven, everything goes smoothly, she is noble and honorable, how can she not be beautiful?

Sheng Jinyue looked at Xie Mingxi silently, and her heart swelled with a long-lost almost unfamiliar sourness and sigh.

They are as different from each other.

Of course, Xie Mingxi is the bright moon in the sky, and she is the humble dust and mud that steals her life. Because he married into the Chu family, he was able to escape the catastrophe of annihilation.

The Chu family didn't want to see her, Chu Shilang was still greedy and lustful, and the beautiful concubines were admitted to the mansion one after another. Fortunately, she gave birth to two sisters-in-law, and the position in the main room is quite stable.

It's a pity that the two sons have mediocre qualifications and are not smart. Compared with Lu Tianyou, Li Yu, and Li Qin, they were suddenly overshadowed.

Xie Mingxi also looked over, his eyes were calm and his expression was indifferent. It seems that there is no grudge entanglement between them: "Sheng Jinyue, you have been in the Chu family for more than ten years, and your heart should be calm." Would you like to go out and walk around in the future? ”

Sheng Jinyue was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes that were as silent as stagnant water: "You...... Do you really allow me to show my face in front of people? ”

The Chu family has never been waiting to see her, and the most important reason is because of her background. Huainan Wangfu and the Xie family formed a mortal enemy, Xie Mingxi became the queen, and Huainan Wangfu was completely destroyed. She, the concubine of the Huainan Palace, is just surviving and stealing her life.

If Xie Mingxi no longer minds the old grudges...... She, the fourth grandmother of Chu, will be able to see the light of day again!

Sheng Jinyue trembled with excitement at this possibility, and leaned forward slightly, revealing a state of longing.

Xie Mingxi smiled faintly: "I summoned you into the Jiaofang Hall today, and the Chu family should also understand my attitude." Sheng Jinyue, you and I always have a few years of classmates. If you can see and think clearly, I won't make things difficult for you anymore. ”

"The old grievances between the two of us have been written off and never have to be mentioned again."

Sheng Jinyue's nose is sour and astringent, and the water in her eyes floats. All the past has disappeared in the eyes of each other at this moment.

After a long time, Sheng Jinyue swallowed her tears: "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”

……

This scene fell on everyone's eyes, and they were embarrassed.

Think about how domineering Sheng Jinyue was back then, she was the least popular and unlikable among her classmates. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years, except for Li Xiangru, who committed suicide, Sheng Jinyue is undoubtedly the most miserable one.

Xie Mingxi is willing to write off the past grievances, which is a good thing for Sheng Jinyue.

Lin broke the silence with a slight smile: "How about a group of our classmates, how about a drink for their ice release?" ”

The women smiled and toasted. The atmosphere soon became harmonious and enthusiastic.

Gu Shanchang saw it in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Xie Mingxi was smart and wise when he was young, and his temperament was inevitably more extreme and ruthless. Over the years, he and Sheng Hong have been in love with each other, and their beloved daughter A Luo is smart and clever, and her life is happy and happy, and Xie Mingxi's temperament has also undergone subtle changes.

In the past, Xie Mingxi would never "release his previous suspicions" with Sheng Jinyue.

Now Xie Mingxi has become much more mellow and generous. also has the grace of the queen of the middle palace.

Such a change made Gu Shanchang extremely happy in his heart. It is not a bad thing that there will be revenge if there is more revenge. However, she prefers Xie Mingxi like this.

At that moment, a brisk and familiar footsteps sounded at the door.

Xie Mingxi's ears were sensitive, and he was the first to stand up. Lin Weiwei and the others also got up together. Gu Shanchang and several masters also stood up.

As far as everyone's eyes watched, a tall and sturdy woman figure appeared.

The woman is dressed in a general's suit, tall and long-legged, beautiful and heroic. Raised eyebrows at everyone and smiled: "Why don't you wait for me to come and start drinking?" ”
