"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, they have arrived."

Xiahou Rui's sedan chair was waiting outside the palace gate, and a palace man ran forward to report.

Xia Hourui suffered a slight stroke, but the treatment was relatively timely, even if he could not recover completely, his condition was still much better than when he first woke up.

The mouth is still crooked, and the neck is a little twisted, but I am finally conscious and no longer drooling.

"Lift me up." Xia Hourui's voice was a little hoarse.

"Yes." Gonggong Yi stepped forward to help Xiahou Rui out of the sedan chair, and the Queen Mother's team had already arrived outside the palace gate.

The palace maid helped the queen mother down from the carriage, and Xiahou Rui stepped forward in two steps. "Sons and daughters, see the queen mother."

The Queen Mother looked at Xiahou Rui's appearance, and her indifferent face cracked with different emotions. "Emperor!" The Queen Mother stepped forward and held Xiahou Rui's hand, and her eyes were red.

"The concubines see the emperor."

"The courtiers greet the emperor."

Xia Hourui glanced at the two and nodded. "Well, there's no need to be polite."

"Your Majesty, after learning that Xiahou Sheng, the king of Dingxi, had rebelled, he immediately went with the army, and he said that he was very ashamed that he could not personally send his mother back."

The look on the Queen Mother's face narrowed slightly. "That kid wants to share his father's worries, what is there to be ashamed of."

"Queen Mother, it's cold outside, let's go to the palace first."

"Hmm."

A group of people entered the palace in a big way.

"The mourning family heard that you gave Kun'er a marriage?"

Xiahou Rui paused before saying: "Erchen sees that he is not young anymore, and it is time to start a family." ”

"Well, but frame, Mo'er and they are not young anymore, you can't favor one over the other."

"Erchen knows."

"Come back all the way, the mourning family is also tired, you don't have to follow and serve, just condense this child and follow the mourning family, let's retreat." Outside the Huaxi Palace, the Queen Mother asked everyone to retreat.

"Yes, the retainers are retired."

"The concubine retired."

……

An Fu.

A nimble maid entered the house through the back door and ran all the way to Mrs. An's yard.

When Mrs. Ann's eldest maid, Forsythia, saw someone, she turned around and lifted the curtain and led her into the house.

"Ma'am, the man is back."

There were three braziers in the house, and as soon as they entered, a hot steam came to their faces, and the girl shivered a little.

"Slave and maid to greet Madame."

Mrs. Ann was sitting on the soft slump, and Ann was sitting under her, rubbing her legs.

Mrs. Ann opened her eyes. "Say it."

"Madam, the person has been taken away by the Queen Mother."

An glanced at Mrs. An, and the movement of rubbing her legs slowed down.

"Well, I see, Forsythia, send her out for some hot warming."

"Yes."

There was not much joy on the girl's face, and Mrs. An frowned slightly when she saw it. "Why, you won't finish the words all at once?"

"Slave, slave and maid, damn it, yes, it was someone else, and it was also taken away by the Queen Mother."

Hearing this, Mrs. Ann sat up straight from the soft collapse. "Others?"

"Yes, when the slaves and maids went to the house to look, they found that they had been taken away by the people of the palace."

"Mother, what do you mean by the Queen Mother taking them all away?" A hint of panic flashed on An's face, and he didn't understand the Queen Mother's intentions.

"Let's wait for a while, if there is no movement in a few days......," Mrs. An said in a deep voice.

"Mother means ......" An Shi was a little puzzled.

"That is, the Queen Mother wants to suppress this matter." In other words, the Queen Mother is happy to see Su Muge marry Xiahou Kun!

Then they were working in vain!

"Do you want to watch Su Muge marry the second prince?"

"Bang"

"I will never let Su Muge marry the second prince as he wishes!"

The door of the house was suddenly pushed open violently, Su Jingwen stared at her fiercely and roared, and turned around and ran away after speaking.

"Miss Cousin, you can't go in."

"Wen'er." Ahn stood up with some uneasiness.

Mrs. An was also taken aback by Su Jingwen. "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you stop Miss Biao quickly, don't let her mess around."

"Yes." Several maids chased after him and ran out.

"This child is too unorthodox, you are still too indulgent to her on weekdays, if the Queen Mother really suppresses this matter, you don't have to think too much, then Su Muge has no foundation, even if she marries the second prince, do you think Concubine Qin is so easy to get along with?"

An Shi pursed her lips at Mrs. An's words.

Mrs. An looked at An like that and thought of the scene when she had to marry Su Lun back then, and the breath in her heart came up again.

"If you had listened to me marry those children of those families in the capital back then, you wouldn't have reached such a point today!"

Since the rebellion of King Dingxi, Mrs. An always feels that An Shangshu has become a little restless, and she is a little restless all day long, and sometimes she stays in the study and sees no one when she returns home, which makes Mrs. An have a bad premonition in her heart.

An Shi pursed her lips at Mrs. An's income, and her hands clenched the embroidered handkerchief.

"If you still want to get your face back, find a way to let Su Lun take you back, if you continue like this, Su Mansion's sky will have changed a long time ago!"

"Mother thinks I'm an eyesore in the house?"

"You, you really want to me off!"

An Shi is not angry, if it weren't for the defeat of King Dingxi, she might be a concubine in the palace now! Where do you have to go back to the small and old Su Mansion!

Now even her own mother doesn't take her seriously, and it's not that there is no one behind her who bullied her and Su Jingwen.

If Su Jingwen can become the second princess, if she can become the second princess!

……

"King Jin has returned from a great victory, King Jin has returned from a great victory......"

On the cold and windy streets, an excited shout pierced the calm streets, and the people in the restaurants, teahouses, and shops poked their heads out one after another.

"The King of Jin has already exterminated the rebels and returned?"

"Yes, I can enter Beijing today, I heard that the emperor has already prepared a reception banquet."

"The King of Jin is really powerful, as long as the King of Jin is here in our Chu Kingdom, we are not afraid of anything."

"yes, yes."

Su Muge shrank in the carriage and shivered coldly, listening to the chatter on the street and hugging the stove in his hand tighter.

"So what we went to the palace to attend today, is it a banquet for the Queen Mother or a banquet for the King of Jin?"

Early in the morning, Su Muge was dug out of the warm quilt by Yueru and them, and this banquet was attended by ministers above the fifth grade, and it happened that Su Lun hung his tail.

"What kind of banquet is Miss Feng Guan attending, you just need to follow the old lady." In fact, what Yueru wants to say is that no matter what kind of banquet you have, if you go, you will eat and drink as if no one else is around, and there is no difference at all.

Su Muge leaned on the mat noncommittally, there was no movement after the Queen Mother took the Wang family away these days, nothing else, she was most worried about the safety of her grandmother, but she couldn't go to the Queen Mother to ask for someone, right?

When they arrived outside the palace gate, there were already many carriages parked outside, and they could only get off at the farthest point from the palace gate.

As soon as he left the warm carriage, Su Muge shivered with cold and wrapped the rabbit fur cloak on his body.

This northern winter really kills people!

"Miss, hold the stove quickly, don't freeze to death."

As soon as winter comes, the people in the entire Peach Blossom Courtyard know that Su Muge is afraid of the cold, and they usually pay special attention to her warmth.

"Hmm." Su Muge cleaned the stove and held it in his arms, so he felt warmer.

"Let's go." Suren had already stepped to the front first.

Su Muge stepped on the snow under his feet, only to feel that his toes were about to be frozen.

Su Muge walked into the palace gate with Yueru and Xinlan in her arms, there were really a lot of people who came to participate in the palace banquet along the way, even if it was so cold that it made people's teeth tremble, Su Muge also found that many young ladies were wearing very thin clothes, even if they were wearing cloaks, they couldn't stop the trembling legs.

For the sake of beauty, these girls are also quite hard.

As Su Muge walked, she felt a resentful gaze fall on her, and when she looked up, she met Su Jingwen's resentful eyes.

Su Muge raised his eyebrows, pretending not to see the office and continued walking.

Su Jingwen was able to appear here, thinking that Mrs. An brought her here.

The palace banquet is in the Orchid Palace, the reason why the Orchid Palace is named is also because this hall is full of winter orchids, which bloom as soon as the weather is cold, and it is snow-capped in the capital, and it is a rare beauty.

The orchid hall is very large, and there is a big warm pavilion in the hall, which can accommodate hundreds of people.

The road from the palace gate to the Orchid Hall Su Muge felt that she had walked for a century, and when she entered the Orchid Palace, her feet were already frozen.

There is only one big warm pavilion, and when there are so many people, there is no deliberate division of seats for men and women.

The palace maid led Su Muge and them to the designated position to sit down, if there weren't so many people, Su Muge really wanted to take off his shoes and rub his feet!

There were more and more people in the hall, and no one noticed that the family of the five-rank petty officials sitting in the small corner was so tired that Su Lun was tired of leaning to the front position to almost greet him.

"The eldest prince, the second prince has arrived."

As a chant sounded, all the people in the temple looked towards the temple door.

The Great Prince......

Su Muge took a bite of the osmanthus cake in his hand and raised his head curiously.

I heard that the eldest prince accompanied the Queen Mother to Xiangshan, but he had never seen him before.

"See the eldest prince, His Royal Highness the second prince."

The eldest prince was dressed in a purple-gold python robe, and although his eyebrows and eyes were soothed, his lips were pursed, but he did not make people think that he was a difficult person, but looked more gentle than Xiahou Kun.

Xiahou Kun was dressed in a navy blue python robe, with a faint smile on his eyebrows and eyes, his eyes swept over the crowd, and he quickly examined most of them.

Wait for the two of them to sit down before speaking. "Get up, don't be polite."

After Xiahou Kun entered the hall, Su Jingwen's eyes never moved away from him, and her eyes couldn't stick to him.

Su Muge knew that the eldest prince Xiahou was raised under the name of the queen, and the queen was pregnant not long after marrying the emperor, but unfortunately the child died in less than five months, and the queen was injured because of this, and never gave birth to a child again.

Xiahou Frame's biological mother is a side branch daughter in the queen's mother's family, and she died after entering the palace to give birth to Xiahou Frame, and the queen took people to her name and raised them for more than 20 years.
