Chen Ying stared at Old Madam Xu.

The old man seemed to have forgotten his short-term unhappiness, and said slowly: "Three girls, you have to remember, you are the girl of the Guogong Mansion, and there is the entire Guogong Mansion standing behind you, there are not many people in this world who can make you feel wronged, even if there is, you don't have to be afraid, your grandfather and grandmother are here." ”

Chen Ying listened calmly and was not surprised.

When the Duchess of Yipin Guo speaks, she should have the courage of the Duchess of Yipinguo, even in the face of people she doesn't like, she still has to say what she should say.

At this point, Mrs. Xu has never been confused.

"Who are you getting into trouble for, grandmother knows it in her heart." Old Madam Xu said again, ignoring the Xu family who was still sitting on the side.

Xu's complexion has not changed much, and with her cultivation skills, it is naturally impossible for her to change her face so easily.

Old Madam Xu continued slowly: "Our Guogong Mansion will not treat sensible and filial children badly. Grandmother's meaning, I'm sure you'll understand. ”

"Granddaughter understands." Bent down and saluted, Chen Ying sat back in the chair.

She naturally understood what Old Madam Xu meant, and as for whether she would resolutely implement it, it was two words.

In addition, even if there is no old lady Xu's words, even if she is not a girl from the Guogong Mansion, she does not intend to wronged herself.

Of course, with the endorsement of Mrs. Yipin, she is more confident.

The next day, there was not even a trace of bright color in the sky, it was as black as ink, the entire Guogong Mansion was already brightly lit, and the people at the head of the house got up, and even the prince went outside early, Zhang Luo, carriage and horse servants.

This is Mrs. Xu's art of governing the family.

As long as her old man is there, the Guogong Mansion can be twisted into a rope.

Although this is just a formality, these people can't help Chen Ying much. However, when everyone in the family gathers, you can feel that the family is supporting you, which is not without substance. If Chen Ying was a real thirteen-year-old girl, she would definitely be moved by this.

Of course, Chen Ying, who has lived for three lifetimes, will not be so easily moved, but it cannot be said that he is unmoved.

Old Madam Xu still has something that she admires very much.

Li didn't close his eyes almost all night, and sewed two thick small cotton pockets with ties overnight, and before Chen Ying left Mingfeng Pavilion, he tied her knees with his own hands, and pointed at her with red eyes and laughed: "Look at your fat knees, it's like two more pieces of meat." ”

Chen Ying couldn't laugh or cry a little.

Can this thing really be tied to the palace? She was skeptical.

If Empress Dowager Xiao only planned to punish her by kneeling, then she would really be a benevolent Empress Dowager.

But as far as Chen Ying knew, Empress Dowager Xiao was not known for her kindness. On the contrary, she is eager to repay, and her methods are more ruthless.

was able to survive in the palace fight and survive until now, in addition to the element of luck, she herself is definitely not ordinary.

Li accompanied Chen Ying to Mingyuan Hall, and listened to many explanations from Mrs. Xu and Xu, and her eyes were always red, but she never cried.

Ever since her husband's whereabouts were unknown, she had learned that tears were useless. Crying does not solve any problem except to worry and grieve those who love and do.

Therefore, when sending Chen Ying out, Li was always smiling, and deliberately pulled his daughter over, and whispered: "Today, the kitchen made your most popular crystal hooves, you can come back early, and your brother will snatch it away if it is late." ”

Chen Ying's heart was inexplicably a little sour, she stepped forward and hugged her gently: "Mother don't worry, my daughter will come home early." ”

Smelling the familiar breath of her daughter, Li remembered that when she gave birth to Chen Ying, the little soft ball nestled in her arms, looking at her with big eyes, she only felt that the tip of her heart was throbbing.

She gritted her teeth hard, forced her tears back, and only forced a smile: "As a mother, I look forward to the early return of my children, you go, my mother won't drink medicine today, and I will drink it when you return." ”

Chen Ying said goodbye to the Li family, and said goodbye to Mrs. Xu and the elders of the Xu family, and was escorted by the fourth master Chen Li to the palace.

The candidate for this escort was also personally decided by Mrs. Xu.

Entering the palace to meet the Queen Mother is not a big deal, of course, the prince does not have to go out in person, it is too grand. As for the third master, Chen Mian, he has been busy with the evaluation at the beginning of the year recently, and he can't spare time. Although Chen Li is a young son, he is a descendant, and he is not an official, so he can advance or retreat, so he was selected.

It should be said that the arrangement of the old man is not unreasonable, but it is somewhat ruthless. If Chen Ying's father was still here, it would not be so.

However, this can't be blamed on Mrs. Xu.

This is the rule of this time and space, Old Madam Xu is just strictly following it, and Chen Ying even feels that she has done a good job.

Soon after the carriage moved, Chen Ying quietly called for truth and knowledge, and took off the soft pocket on his knees.

"Girl really doesn't want this?" Xun Zhen asked, her delicate little face was full of worry: "What if this is used?" ”

Chen Ying twisted the corners of her mouth: "This thing will definitely not enter the palace, take it out early, and avoid trouble." ”

This is actually a lie, mainly because it is difficult to move with this thing tied, and Chen Ying must take into account the convenience of running.

Mother Luo, who was on the side, sighed and said softly: "Madam, this is also a mother's heart. The girl is only dismantling it now, rightly. ”

If she had rejected the Li family at that time, she would definitely be more worried, and Chen Ying understood this truth.

The carriage staggered for about half an hour before the Imperial City arrived. Chen Ying sat up straight all the way, didn't even take a nap, Chen Li only screamed outside, and she helped Luo's mother get out of the car, which made Chen Li a little surprised.

"Slow down, the slaves are waiting for the girl here." Mother Luo's eyes were also red, and she was still not at ease.

Empress Dowager Xiao only saw Chen Ying by name, no matter how she heard this, it didn't look like she could be good, Luo's mother watched Chen Ying grow up when she was a child, and she was as worried as sending her daughter into the tiger's mouth.

Chen Ying nodded and didn't speak, Chen Li on the side had already walked over and said in a harmonious voice: "Three girls, let's go." ”

He has a warm face, a graceful demeanor, and a strong bookish atmosphere in his gestures, which is the most standard image of the best son of the turbidity in this time and space, and he can give people a good impression.

Chen Ying thanked him, comforted Luo's mother a few words, and walked to the gate of the forbidden palace accompanied by Chen Li.

The night was as thick as ink, and the wind from nowhere swirled back and forth in the night, blowing through the skirt.

Chen Ying raised her head to look at the sky, there were no stars and no moon, as if the whole world had fallen into a deep sleep.

She was in a trance for a moment, as if she was still in a dream.

"Zhou Chaogui is credible." A voice said abruptly and deeply, almost in Chen Ying's ears, and she could even feel the hot air spurting from the other party's mouth and nose.
