"Oh?" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and looked at Concubine Jing, "Concubine refers to your cousin?" ”

"Isn't it?" Concubine Jing showed a sad look and sighed, "The Queen Mother has also seen the concubine's granddaughter, such a delicate little girl, but she was given a bad reputation, so how can she find a good in-law in the future." Alas...... If she marries back to Texas......"

"Since she has your love, there is no reason to go back."

"The concubine is really reluctant. The Queen Mother also knows that since this girl entered Beijing, she has comforted me so much about my daughter. ”

"The mourners understand." The Queen Mother didn't say anything more, but fell into deep thought.

Concubine Jing's purpose today is just to ask the Queen Mother to think about this, and it would seem too deliberate to say too much.

And the Queen Mother's thinking also has to have a process of change, after all, what she favored Fei before was not the girl from the Guogong Mansion, or the girl from the Ge family.

But the Queen Mother will figure it out, this time is different from the past, and Fei is now carrying such a reputation.

Hua Jin is a girl from the Marquis of Jingning's mansion, and she is the cousin and niece of Princess Roujia, so where is her background.

It was also time for the Queen Mother to have dinner, and Concubine Jing took advantage of her poor appetite in the past few days to get up and say goodbye.

It's just that there is no way to see the back of Concubine Jing, and the Queen Mother's expression has changed from soft eyebrows and eyes just now to a cold face.

People say that the Queen Mother is kind, but few people know that indifference and ruthlessness are the true temperament of the Queen Mother.

However, no matter how indifferent a person is, he also has a confidant, and there is also an old lady by the side of the Queen Mother, who served by the Queen Mother's side before entering the palace.

At this time, this Song Mama personally served a cup of tea, and waited until the Queen Mother drank the tea with a cold face, and then said to this Song Mama: "Ayuan, it seems that someone has sent it to the door." ”

"Yes, Queen Mother, Concubine Jing wants you to marry her cousin to General Chu."

"Ayuan, the mourning family remembers that they flew out of Beijing a while ago and went to Texas, right?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, where did General Chu go, it was the Holy Lord's personal judge, who secretly went out to carry out a mission, where would he dare to snoop on an identity like a slave."

"Ayuan, the mourning family likes your mouth." The indifference on the face of the Queen Mother just now suddenly became a little colored, but it was not a pleasant face, but a little more mockery, "It seems that Fei and this Zhang family girl have already met when they were in Texas, no wonder he can't look down on the girl he told him." Hum...... It turns out that the crux of the matter is here. ”

"Queen Mother Shengming, nothing can escape your eyes. The slave dared to ask, I don't know if the Queen Mother can think of fulfilling General Chu? ”

"Ayuan, this cousin of Concubine Jing is a girl from the Marquis of Jingning?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, yes."

"And the Marquis of Jingning's Mansion is King Su's Yue family?"

Mama Song lowered her head and said "yes", but she couldn't help but raise her head, and finally saw the Queen Mother hook the corners of her mouth on one side, revealing a somewhat distorted, somewhat hideous and somewhat strange expression.

Every time the Queen Mother shows such an expression, Mama Song will see a good show in the near future.

"Perfect, why not." The Queen Mother let go of the corner of her lips that was hooked, "Wouldn't it be better to tie them all together?" ”

Mama Song lowered her head again, "Queen Mother Shengming!" ”

…………

Hua Jin left the palace and got into the carriage back to the house, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Fei's rumors caught her by surprise, and her confession in front of Concubine Jing was also unexpected.

When he returned to Zhang's Mansion, someone from the gatehouse came to report that the fourth young master had suddenly returned from the academy.

My brother is back...... Xixiang ......

Hua Jin hurriedly went to Hua Chen's courtyard in the outer courtyard.

Rou Xiang was pacing anxiously in the Ming Hall, and when she saw Hua Jin, she hurriedly greeted her, "Fifth girl, the fourth young master has been stuffy in the study for more than two hours, and won't let us in." ”

Hua Jin bowed, "Don't worry, I'll take a look." ”

Hua Jin approached the study, and when he heard no movement inside, he lifted the curtain and went in alone.

There was no palm light in the study, only the little residual light of the slanting sun fell on the room, which was a little dark.

The elder brother sat alone in front of the bookcase, on which were the sketches he had drawn with Xixiang, and his gaze seemed to fall on the sketch, and it seemed to float far away.

Hua Jin approached lightly and saw that his brother was still holding a letter in his hand, and the envelope fell to the ground, which was the letter left by Xi Xiang.

Hua Jin wanted to say something, but his lips moved several times and he didn't say anything.

She couldn't tell the truth, and anything else seemed pale.

"Xixiang, she's gone......" or my brother opened his mouth first.

"Hmm." Hua Jin bowed his head slightly.

"With her long-lost family coming to pick her up and helping her change her slave status, she will no longer have to be a slave and a maid in the future, and she will have a happy home, I should be happy for her."

"Brother......

"If only I could say goodbye to her in person. Why didn't you wait for me, why did you go so far......" The elder brother muttered, his voice getting quieter and quieter.

As soon as Hua Jin wanted to take a step forward, Hua Chen had already stood up from the Taishi chair, and showed a smile to Hua Jin, "It's nothing, this is a good thing, I should be happy for Xixiang." ”

But the smile against the sadness in his eyes made Hua Jin feel even more sad.

"Brother......

"Brother is fine." Hua Chen walked out from behind the bookcase and put his palm on the top of Hua Jin's head.

Unlike the warm palms of the past, my brother's hands were as cold as frost at this time, and they seemed to be very wooden when he rubbed the top of her hair.

I don't know why the men of the Zhang family are so bumpy on the road of love, it's really embarrassing.

"My brother has returned to the academy." Hua Chen still looked at Hua Jin with a gentle gaze, but that gaze was still very drifting, "My sister has to take good care of herself at home." ”

Hua Jin bowed, many things need time to change, and it is useless to say anything more, "My brother should also take care of himself in the academy and study hard." ”

Hua Chen patted Hua Jin's shoulder again, "Brother knows." ”

Hua Jin watched her brother turn around and go out, and always felt that the loneliness of the back made her feel distressed.

Tell the little guys around my brother to take care of them these days, and come back in time if there is anything.

When his brother got on the horse, Hua Jin didn't forget to instruct: "I'm afraid it's already dark when I get to the academy, so my brother must be careful on the road!" ”

It wasn't until his brother's figure disappeared that Hua Jin returned to Fangfei Pavilion.

As soon as she entered the room, Bai Tao waited for her to take off her cloak and took out a gilded post, "Fifth girl, this is sent by Huai Wangfu." ”

Hua Jin took the post and expanded it to see the content on it, it turned out that King Huai held a painting appreciation party and invited himself.

King Huai held a painting appreciation party at this time, what did he have in mind?
