The lord of Shirley suddenly thought of a time when he overheard the conversation of the palace maids in the queen's palace, saying that it seemed that the emperor had taken a fancy to a girl outside the palace, and he had to ask the queen to help him leave the girl in the palace.

One of the palace maids who was a little older in the grade, where was the mystery, "What that girl has, our queen doesn't have." ”

After saying that, they were still laughing mysteriously, and a group of little palace maids were very curious on the side, and they all said flattering words, hoping that the old palace maid could solve their doubts.

After satisfying all his appetites, the man came up with a sentence, "That girl is rich, and she will be richer than the emperor in the future." ”

At that time, the lord of Sydney just smiled, and didn't think about it carefully, after all, it was the emperor's private matter, and he himself was eavesdropping, if he was known, he didn't know what to say about himself behind his back, so he walked away after listening.

But now that I think about it, this Great Xia Kingdom is richer than the emperor, and there really seems to be no other person except Xiaoman, especially recently, I have heard more and more people outside mention Xiaoman, and Xiaoman's name has also begun to be linked to rich people.

Lord Sydney twitched and didn't know if he should tell Xiaoman, "Xiaoman...... The emperor may have taken a fancy to your ....... ”

Xiao Man twitched at Lord Sydney's words, and then began to hiccup, "What...... How can it be...... Don't scare me....... ”

"Yes, you were also scared, didn't you think of it, I was also scared when I first heard about it, what did this emperor think, although he is the emperor but he is still not worthy of you, it is really bold, I dare to think about you, and I don't know where the confidence comes from."

Xiao Man listened to the words of the county lord Shirley, his heart was so frightened that he missed a beat, not so much where did the emperor get his confidence, but also said that the Shirley county lord only believed where his obsession with himself came from, "County lord, you haven't said this in front of others, have you?"

Under Xiao Man's extremely expectant eyes, Lord Sydney shook his head, "No, I'm not stupid, how can I say this casually ......." ”

Xiao Man breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, no one else heard Lord Shirley's words.

"Of course I can't say it to outsiders, I still complain in front of my own people......."

Xiao Man's heart suddenly tightened, and he clenched the Shirley County Lord, "My own people?" Who are your own people? ”

Lord Shirley thought about it and didn't dare to look at Xiao Man's eyes, "I didn't say anything else, but when I first heard about it, I said a few angry words in the palace of the Emperor Taishang, and complained a few ......words in front of several palace maids." ”

"I really just whined a few words and didn't say anything else."

Lord Sydney's eyes were a little timid, and he quickly glanced at Xiao Man, then lowered his head and said, "It seems that there are other things to say." ”

"What else did you say?"

Lord Shirley moved back without a trace, "I can't remember what else I said." ”

Xiaoman felt that today's journey home was particularly long, and his heart was in a mess, Zhou Duchan's affairs had not yet come to fruition, and this matter suddenly came out again, she didn't believe that what the lord of Shirley said was groundless, and in thinking about what happened to the emperor these few times, it became clearer and clearer that the emperor might really like himself, but Xiaoman knew very well that the emperor looked at himself and felt that he didn't like himself because he was alive because he was beautiful, but because he liked his own money, but his identity was placed here, The emperor may want to be a palace maid or something, and he accidentally pampered himself, and the emperor once made it clear at the palace banquet, but fortunately Zhou Duchan refused for himself.

Xiao Man felt that he would enter the palace less in the future, appear less in front of the emperor, and let him think less of himself, "The county lord will enter the palace in the future and talk less about me, I really don't want to be remembered by the emperor." ”

"I knew that Xiaoman would definitely not look at a man like the emperor."

Xiao Man couldn't help but roll his eyes, in the county lord's heart, is he a god-like existence, the emperor is the richest and most powerful man in this country, how many women are squeezed to the point that they want to become the emperor's woman.

Back to the county lord's mansion, the county lord hugged the two children and cried, the two children were the same, they had not seen their mothers for a whole day, although the two children were still young, but they already understood very well in their hearts, and the two children were not at home and the two children did not eat as much as before.

In the evening, Xiao Man accompanied the county lord Shirley and the two children to have dinner, and also helped to bathe the two little guys together, Xiao Man also specially told the story of Little Red Riding Hood to the two guys, maybe they had never heard such a story, the two little guys fell in love with Xiao Man at once, pestering Xiao Man, "Auntie is telling a story...... Tell me another story....... ”

Seeing that the two little guys were all sticking to Xiaoman, the county lord of Shirley was a little jealous, and kept saying that the two little things had no conscience.

Seeing that the county lord of Shirley was jealous, Xiaoman really couldn't smile bitterly, so he had to coax the two little guys to be cute and obedient to make the county lord of Shirley smile, and the two children were tired after a long time, so they were handed over to the nurse to carry them to sleep, and the county lord pulled Xiaoman to the roof.

There is wine and food, and the two of them sit on the roof and drink, maybe the two of them have a lot of troubles in their hearts recently, you have a cup of me, three glasses and two glasses of belly, and soon a bottle of wine is down, but, but the two of them have no intention of getting drunk at all, but the more they drink, the more sober they are.

"Xiaoman really can't forget that man until now, she said that I am the only man I like in my life, but why does he want to treat me like this, how can he have the face to threaten me now, these two children are also his own, why is he so ruthless."

Even when the Shirley County Lord had just fallen out of love, no friend would use wine to drown her sorrows like now, but think about how big the blow this incident hit her, maybe the Shirley County Lord was still fantasizing about that person before, or had hope, and even looked forward to how surprised that person would come back to find himself or see the children one day.

"Xiaoman, I always feel that he is not that kind of person, he must have a last resort, one day he will come back to me, I even thought that one day our family of four can find a place to live in seclusion and live a dull and happy life, now it seems that I am too stupid and naïve."

Shirley County Lord hid her face and cried bitterly, she has been depressed too much in the past few days, except for Xiaoman, she has no one who can confide in her heart at all, everything in and out of the family depends on her alone, not to mention her father's side, it is simply a broken jar, it doesn't work at all when it's okay, and then every time she appears, she asks Shirley for silver, and the name of asking for silver is really unspeakable, even for things like his father's concubine, he has to ask Shirley to get silver, Shirley County Lord remembers that his father has already accepted fifteen concubines, And all the servants of their family have become relatives I don't know how many times, the Shirley County Lord estimates, everyone has become at least three relatives, Shirley County Lord every time he hears those names that ask for silver, he really wants to ask the person who came, whether his father is still alive, marrying so many concubines, at this rate, this day has to rest in a concubine's room, and if this continues, sooner or later, he will be exhausted.

"Nine times out of ten in life, life is unsatisfactory, I have heard people say before, people are like a person's heartbeat, if it has always been smooth sailing into a straight line, it means that death is not far away, why do you think it is nonsense, but think about it carefully, you will become better and stronger after a tribulation."

"Xiaoman, every time you say something, I think it makes sense, every time I tell my imperial grandfather what you say, the imperial grandfather is full of praise for you, and said that you must be summoned to the palace that day, drink tea and chat."

"Don't, don't...... Don't, I don't want to enter the palace again, and I don't want to have anything to do with the people in the palace anymore. ”

Lord Shirley wiped her tears and sighed deeply, "Xiaoman, why didn't I listen to what you said before." ”

"That sentence?"

"It's indispensable to defend against people, why did I believe that bastard so much in the first place, why didn't I see that person was so dirty in his heart."

Xiao Man remembered the things that the person explained yesterday, and felt that it was better to tell the Lord of Shirley, although the person himself didn't like it, but those things were really not done by that person, and the identity of that person Lord Shirley had the right to know.

Putting down the bottle, elbows to the ground to find the most comfortable position, "Shirley, I caught the messenger last night. ”

"What?"

"It's the person who sent you a letter to threaten you before."

Lord Shirley, the wine bottle was just delivered to his mouth, and when he heard Xiaoman's words, he was stunned.

"That person confessed, Tang Ke is the third highness of the Chuyun Kingdom, and it was not Tang Ke who threatened you, it was his second brother and the second highness of the Chuyun Kingdom."

The wine bottle slipped down and landed right at Xiaoman's feet, the wine bottle was not broken when it arrived, but the full wine spilled out, and the dresses of the two were stained with wine.

The tears that had just been wiped out flowed out again, but this time the county lord of Shirley still had excitement and happiness in his eyes, "Xiaoman, what you said is true, it won't be that you deliberately lied to me in order to comfort me." ”

"You overestimate me, I'm not so leisurely, I'm in the dungeon, you can ask at any time."

As soon as the words fell, the county lord of Shirley had disappeared in front of Xiao Man like a gust of wind, and soon Xiao Man heard the housekeeper's shout, "County Lord, be careful, don't jump down, I'll move the ladder." ”

Xiao Man carefully stepped over the wine bottle and slowly stretched out his head, sure enough, Lord Shirley walked to the other side and wanted to jump, probably because he was too excited to go wrong and climbed the ladder from the west when they came up just now, and now Lord Shirley ran directly to the east.

Slowly retreated, still sitting in the same place, the sky was full of stars Although the north wind was blowing, Xiao Man didn't feel it at all, because her heart was much colder than this air, Zhou Duchan, you must live, live well, I will wait for you to come back.

The consequence of yesterday's cold wind drinking is that the two of them can't get up early in the morning, Xiaoman has a headache and is about to explode, Shirley County Lord is said to have a more serious diarrhea, directly a fever, yesterday Xiaoman felt a little drunk and went to sleep, Sydney Monarch went to the dungeon yesterday and came back, holding a wine bottle and then drinking Lingding drunk, no one could persuade her to meet the room, the entire county lord's mansion was tossed by Shirley County Lord, and all the people saw the county lord playing drunk.

The county lord is also very different from the drunkenness, just like her usual behavior and style of doing things, maverick, usually hates the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting Shirley after getting drunk, he actually performed the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, but the sound of the piano is really not pleasant, the word is at most neat, and the painting belongs to the abstract school in Xiaoman's opinion.
