"Don't touch my kids!" Xiao Ruyue screamed and woke up from her sleep.

"What's wrong?" Yu Wenhe was also woken up by her screams, and looked at her sleepily, "You have a nightmare?" ”

She came back to her senses and saw that the person in front of her was Yu Wenhe, shook her head, nodded again, and lay back in shock.

But seeing that Xiao Ruyue was drenched in sweat, Yu Wenhe wiped her sweat with his sleeve, Xiao Ruyue froze for a while, and grabbed his hand very unnaturally, "I, I'll just come by myself." ”

Yu Wenhe was not reluctant, so he withdrew his hand, "I have also heard some about the Qishan Palace, but those are all over. It's still early, go to sleep. ”

Xiao Ruyue nodded and didn't say much.

After dawn, Yu Wenhe got up and went to the morning court, his movements were very careful, and he specially ordered his subordinates not to make a sound, for fear of waking up Xiao Ruyue, who had finally fallen asleep after the nightmare. The people didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, and they all tiptoed to hold their breath.

After Yu Wenhe went out, calm returned to the dormitory.

Xiao Ruyue opened her eyes in the silence.

Yu Wenhyuk's concern has surpassed the relationship between them. What the hell is he trying to do?

However, she was still very sleepy, Xiao Ruyue didn't bother to think much at this time, so she lay down and fell asleep. When I woke up again, it was already dark, and it should be late.

Because of Yu Wenhe's orders, no one dared to disturb Xiao Ruyue's sleep.

"Silver Lin, Green Clothes." Xiao Ruyue sat up and called out.

"The slave is here."

Yinlin and Greenyi agreed in unison, pushing the door one after the other.

Yin Lin hurriedly asked, "What does the queen mother command?" ”

"What time is it?"

"Back to Niangniang, it's nearly half the hour."

It's not too early.

Xiao Ruyue weighed it in her heart for a moment, and ordered: "Change your clothes and prepare breakfast." Invite the old lady of Xiao Mansion into the palace. ”

Yinlin was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he answered. After Yinlin left, Green Yi hurriedly asked, "Niangniang, who is that old lady of Xiao Mansion?" Why do you want to summon her into the palace? ”

"Don't ask more questions that shouldn't be asked, go and get hot water for the main palace." Xiao Ruyue's tone was flat, and she couldn't hear anger or irritation.

Green-clothed knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he closed his mouth and withdrew.

Half an hour later, Old Madam Xiao was approached to the palace.

Although the old lady is old, she is still in good health, and she seems to be in good spirits.

Mrs. Xiao is the lady of the imperial court, she is wearing a dark red Luan brocade wide robe placket, the same color pleated skirt, the cuffs and the embroidery on the skirt are all from the hands of the court embroiderer, lifelike, with the old lady walking, as if fluttering wings.

"Courtesy Xiao Li, meet the queen." The old lady put down her crutches and slowly knelt down.

Grandmother! Xiao Ruyue almost screamed. She bit her lip and swallowed back the call that almost burst out of her mouth.

The ancestors of the Xiao family are scholars, and the son of Mrs. Xiao is Xiao Ruyue's father, and he has become the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and now Xiao Jingyu is also the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the Xiao family is even more polite. The Xiao family attaches the most importance to etiquette.

Xiao Ruyue wanted to help the old lady up, but because of her identity, she couldn't provoke criticism, so she could only tell the green lady: "The old lady is old, so she doesn't need to be polite, give her a seat." ”

The old lady thanked Xie and thanked again before getting up.

Green Yi served new tea, served snacks, and retreated behind Xiao Ruyue.

The old lady held the tea cup and sighed with emotion, "It's been a long time since the old man last entered the palace. The queen mother is kind and kind, and she can enter the palace again in her lifetime. ”

"What did the old lady say this, the Xiao family is my Daxia family, a family of scholars, Lord Xiao inherited his father's business at a young age, and became my Daxia's Ministry of Rites, young and promising, can be called a role model." Xiao Ruyue smiled on her face, but her heart was very sad.

If it weren't for Yuwen Chenglian and Yao Ziyan, she would have been able to hold her grandmother's hand at this time and talk about family life, why should she be like this, her relatives are so strange to meet, as if she didn't know each other.

The more I thought about her, the more angry my teeth were, that pair of crazy dog men and women!

Xiao Ruyue unconsciously clenched her fists in her wide sleeves.

"The queen mother praised, my grandson can have today, it is all the cultivation of the king, my son and daughter-in-law are blessed, and we are old and young, and the king thinks that our ancestors and grandchildren depend on each other for their lives, and take care of my grandson in order to have today." The old lady's words sounded like a script.

Xiao Ruyue looked at the old lady, and then slowly let go of her fist, and said casually, "The previous princess of King Wei was the eldest lady from the Xiao Mansion, and she was also pitiful and ...... early."

Old Madam Xiao's face changed when she heard this, "My hard-working granddaughter, if it weren't for the difficult birth, the old man would now have a great-grandchild." As he spoke, sorrow came from it, and old tears were rampant.

Green Yi got Xiao Ruyue's order and handed over the embroidered handkerchief.

The old lady took the embroidered handkerchief, wiped her tears, and then turned to look at Xiao Ruyue, "I don't know what the queen mother specially called the courtiers into the palace?" The queen mother is the mother of a country, and an old woman who has lived at home for many years can't help the queen mother. ”

Grandma is still the same as back then, with a unique vision.

Xiao Ruyue was secretly a little comforted, "Old lady, I have just arrived in this palace, and I have a lot of confusion about the etiquette of Daxia, so I want to ask Old Madam Xiao." ”

Without waiting for Old Madam Xiao to speak, she said again: "Although Great Xia is based on the Great Tomb system, the details are different after all. There is naturally no shortage of people in the palace who can teach the palace, but none of them can be more authoritative than you, the old lady. ”

Old Madam Xiao was silent.

The queen's words are clearly a gesture of goodwill. Although she lived at home, she also knew that the Empress Dowager was more inclined to ally with the Tatars, and it was not a day or two that she was dissatisfied with the monarch; And a princess from Tanglin, who has no relatives in Daxia, has a noble concubine who is eyeing her, and the queen mother who is staring at her all the time, she must be cautious every step she takes, which can be described as walking on thin ice step by step.

And she, the old woman, although she is just an idle old woman, is also the first lady of the imperial court who was enshrined by the first emperor, not to mention the Xiao family's heirloom, if she assists from the side, the queen will be more sure of sitting firmly in the back seat.

Thinking of this, Old Madam Xiao stood up and gave Xiao Ruyue a big gift, "Queen Mother, the Xiao family has the only seedling of Jing Yu in the remains, and I hope that the Xiao family will do their duty for the court, and leave my Xiao family a piece of tranquility." ”

But grandma, you don't know, the Xiao family, there was no so-called Qingning ten years ago.

The upheaval in the palace of King Wei, the five years of unknown imprisonment, the tragic death of his father and mother for unknown reasons, and the culprit has not been able to be arrested, and the murderer behind the scenes, Yuwen Chenglian, is still eyeing him.

The more the Xiao family retreated, the more he would press forward step by step.

The Xiao family will not be destroyed for a day, and Yuwen Chenglian will not stop for a day. He was so suspicious, most of the time he dealt with his father and mother back then, it was because he suspected that they knew the true cause of her death, and he was worried that his true face would be known to the world.

Back then, Yuwen Chenglian and Yao Ziyan locked her in the firewood room, but they said to the outside world that she died of dystocia, but now that I think about it, what Yao Ziyan said back then, every word is worth pondering. And the reason why Yuwen Chenglian was in a hurry to deal with her was because he was afraid that he would rebel one day and would be stumped by the Xiao family, so he wanted to strike first!

"Queen Mother, the old man is old, and she just wants to live a few days of leisure, and she invites her to ...... Please also be smart. Old Madam Xiao solemnly kowtowed to Xiao Ruyue.

Grandma, you are going to make Ruyue lose her life!

Xiao Ruyue's tears almost burst out of her eyes, but now she is not the same person she used to be, Xiao Ruyue held back her tears, bent over and helped Mrs. Xiao up, "Old lady, you are always unwilling, this palace will never be difficult." I hope you can be in good health, and the pines and cypresses are evergreen. ”

Old Madam Xiao looked at Xiao Ruyue so closely, and she was in a trance for a moment, where did she look like she had seen it?

But it was just a momentary trance, and he was already helped back by Xiao Ruyue and the green clothes.

I only heard Xiao Ruyue command: "Green clothes, send Mrs. Xiao back, in addition, reward two agate jade bracelets, a coral bracelet, a South China Sea night pearl, and the golden step at the bottom of the palace box, plus three cloud brocade horses, and ten silk horses." ”

Old Madam Xiao looked surprised, "Queen Mother, the old man is old, these jewels are ......"
