"The mourning family came suddenly, didn't disturb His Majesty's criticism?" The hoarse and magnetic voice is the tone of a beautiful woman in the twilight, and it is the Empress Dowager Xiao who is speaking.

Emperor Yuan Jia took a few steps forward, gently supported Empress Dowager Xiao's arm, and said with a smile: "What did the queen mother say?" I'd love for you to come and see it from time to time. ”

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled softly: "Just say that Your Majesty is busy with business all day long, and he should be loose and loose when he criticizes so many folds, and the mourning family will come uninvited." ”

"Then I want to thank the queen mother, and tell me to be lazy." Emperor Yuan Jia answered with a smile, paused for a moment, and said in a harmonious voice: "Xiangshan is also here." ”

Chen Ying's heart sank.

Guo Yuan is actually here?

Could it be that he came here for Guo Chong's murder of Jiaoxing?

Before she could think clearly, another woman's voice sounded in front of the palace gate: "Guo Cheng has seen Your Majesty." ”

The nervous and astringent voice, the words are clear, and the official language is also very standard, which seems to have been heard.

Chen Ying frowned, raised her eyes and looked into the distance, through the gap in the fan, but saw that Mrs. Xingjibo's Cheng was standing behind the main side of Xiangshan County.

She wore a royal blue dark gold pattern rich peony twisted skirt, pulled the most fashionable fallen horse bun this year, and wore a golden skein as thin as cicada wings on both sides to cover the sideburns, and dragged an agate bead behind the bun.

With such a charm, Guo Yuan, who was made of red skirts and plum blossoms, pressed down her head alive.

Chen Ying glanced at it and frowned silently.

These three people appeared at the same time, and they still pinched this point in time, except for interceding for Guo Chong, they didn't think about it anymore.

Sure enough, her idea just came to mind, and the Empress Dowager Xiao was already to the point.

"Your Majesty, the mourning family knows that the mourning family is coming, and your majesty can immediately figure out why the mourning family came." She put one arm on Emperor Yuanjia's arm, and spoke as she spoke, but her expression was not urgent, and her voice was calm:

"There are no outsiders here, and the mourning family will not say those vain words to His Majesty. The mourning family wants to ask, what's going on with Chong'er? How can His Majesty depose his son in a good manner? ”

The last word fell, she stepped across the threshold, Fang raised her eyes, and her expression froze.

Behind the carved maul fan, a pair of figures standing on the side suddenly came into view.

Empress Dowager Xiao held Emperor Yuan Jia's hand and tightened it slightly.

At that moment, her expression was a little complicated, as if she was not safe, as if she was slightly annoyed, as if she was resentful, and as if she was helpless.

Emotions flashed back and forth, and in the end, they ended up laughing.

"Yo, the mourning family is so old that their eyes are not good, and they didn't even see anyone inside." In three or two sentences, he circled the scene, and complained about Emperor Yuan Jia:

"Your Majesty is really, if you don't say it sooner, the mourning family doesn't know that Your Majesty is talking to someone about business, and if you know it, you will come back later."

"How does this work?" Emperor Yuan Jia smiled gently, and when he looked at the Empress Dowager Xiao, just like a filial son looking at his mother, there was deep admiration:

"The queen mother is more important than any serious matter, and it is not a big deal for me to announce their visit, the queen mother is just right, and when I am done, I will talk to the queen mother."

"Oh?" Empress Dowager Xiao rolled her eyes, the eyebrows drawn by Luo Zidai were bent like willows, and at this moment, she towered a few points upward: "Since it's not a serious matter, why did Your Majesty call them to do it?" ”

While talking, a group of people came to the hall, and Chen Ying and Pei Shu greeted each other.

"The little marquis is a frequent visitor, so let's go and sit down." Empress Dowager Xiao smiled, her eyes swept over Chen Ying, and her smile condensed slightly: "You also get up, sit down and talk." ”

She rolled her eyes lightly and glanced at the hall.

Two gold-lacquered small pestles, standing opposite each other.

Her brow furrowed, but her smile remained the same.

"Imperial grandmother-" Guo Yuan, who had been walking behind her, gently pulled her sleeve and whispered.

The sweet and soft voice contains a little bit of infatuation, like a child who doesn't beg for candy.

Empress Dowager Xiao immediately knew that Guo Yuan was unhappy, and complained that she didn't show Chen Ying's face on the spot, didn't ask Chen Ying to kneel more, or even didn't reprimand her rudeness in public and reprimand her with a cane.

Empress Dowager Xiao wanted to sigh.

Emperor Yuanjia even gave him a seat, it can be seen that Chen Ying has won the emperor's heart, if she, the queen mother, punishes Chen Ying at this time, how is it different from the face of Emperor Yuan Jia?

"You kid, are you stupid?" She turned her head, touched Guo Yuan's hair lovingly, and quietly handed over a look, her voice was still gentle: "Your Majesty has said it, it will be fine soon." You didn't take a look, aren't the two little golden pestles there? It can be seen that we have been talking for a while, and Your Majesty has not lied to us. ”

Guo Yuan was stunned for a moment, suddenly came to his senses, and couldn't help gritting his teeth secretly.

This surnamed Chen is really in conflict with her, and every time she meets, she is always unhappy.

She sank her face, her yin owl's eyes swept towards Chen Ying, and when she turned her eyes, she saw Pei Shu on the side.

She stretched out her hand and grabbed Empress Dowager Xiao's hand, shook it a few times, then quietly raised her head, glanced at Pei Shu, and then lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was cowardly and shy, and she seemed to be happy.

Empress Dowager Xiao followed her line of sight and couldn't help laughing.

"Your Majesty's business?" She asked with a smile, not looking at Emperor Yuan Jia, but only nodding lovingly to Guo Yuan.

Emperor Yuan Jia looked at it as if he hadn't seen it, and replied with a smile: "It's okay soon, please sit down first, Queen Mother." Then he raised his voice and ordered: "Come, move a seat for the county lord and Mrs. Xingjibo." ”

Guo Yuan and Cheng were busy taking their seats, Emperor Yuan Jia waved his hand, personally helped Empress Dowager Xiao to sit aside, and then returned to the original place and ordered someone to put refreshments.

After everyone sat down, Empress Dowager Xiao said: "Your Majesty, there are really some urgent things to say about the mourning family, but this matter is also ...... in the end."

She was silent, took a few breaths, and then said, "...... Speaking of which, this is also a family matter, and the children of them don't have to listen to it. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Emperor Yuanjia to speak, she smiled and pushed Guo Yuan: "You know that you are boring, and I don't restrain you, there are several palace powders in the imperial garden, you go and break a few branches for the mourning family." ”

Guo Yuan was very well-behaved at this time, she should get up, brushed the bright red dress, walked two steps, and suddenly looked back, meaning to stay: "Imperial grandmother, I remember, the palace powder is very high, I'm afraid I won't be able to fold the beautiful flower branches." ”

One wall spoke, the other wall turned his eyes, and the soft eyes were all on Pei Shu.

Empress Dowager Xiao snorted "yo" and slapped her palm gently: "This is true, it can be seen that the mourning family is old and confused, that palace fan plum is tall, where can you fold this villain?" ”

At this point, looking left and right, he suddenly saw Pei Shu, and his eyes lit up: "This is also a coincidence, the little marquis happens to be here, since this is the case, you will accompany Xiangshan to go with you." It is better for you young people to be in one place than to listen to the mourners say that those old sesame seeds and rotten grains are rotten. You're tall and tall, so it's just right to fold flowers. ”

In a few words, Pei Shu and Guo Yuan were put together.

Guo Yuan was ashamed and was about to move forward, when Emperor Yuan Jia suddenly laughed.

"How did the queen mother know that I was going to ask Pei Shu to leave?" He took a sip of tea, leisurely and leisurely: "This thing is really a coincidence, I just thought about it here, and the queen mother's words were handed over, it is really a person who knows me, and the queen mother is also." ”

These words caused the whole hall to laugh.

In the midst of this laughter, Emperor Yuan Jia put down the teacup, his face was solemn, and his voice was cold: "Come on, remember." ”

As soon as this sound came out, the laughter in the hall immediately stopped, except for the mother and son of the Heavenly Family, everyone stood with their hands tied, even Guo Yuan quickly returned to the side of the Empress Dowager Xiao and bowed solemnly.

Emperor Yuan Jia is going to write an edict, and everyone can no longer sit.

After a while, a young housekeeper walked briskly, laid out the edict paper and a case, and put pen to paper.

Emperor Yuan Jia got up, paced behind the case, and said slowly: "The system said: Today, there is the eldest daughter of the Chen family, who is soft and pure; There is also the eldest son of the Pei family, who is brave and brave, thick and silent. The woman is graceful and wise, the man is sensitive and upright, the man is talented and the woman is beautiful, and the combination is a good day. ”

In the silent hall, Lang Ran's voice swirled and circled, almost like a beam.

Empress Dowager Xiao listened blankly, and the handkerchief in her hand was quietly committed.

Outside the temple, the snow is flying, the wind is shouting back and forth, and the cold is soaked in the bones.

However, the crystal world of flying snow is so beautiful, the jade is full of light, brilliant and clean, and it seems to reach the sky.
