Xiaoyue's sudden sadness was blown by the wind on the lake, and she didn't know where to fly like catkins.

She is not only worried about Wen Youyou now, but also worried about the Queen Mother who has made a 180-degree turn in attitude. She guessed that maybe she had just crackled for a long time, and used a three-plate axe to make the queen mother stunned, so now she has become a human being, and she is kind to her. Or the queen mother is actually giving herself authority first, and then she has something to ask for.

At this time, Xiao Yue looked at the Queen Mother's kind eyes, and found that it was not so kind, but shining with a certain kind of wisdom.

Xiao Yue swallowed her saliva, looked at the exquisitely made porcelain plate in front of her with gold wire edges, and thought in her heart to find an excuse to slip away.

And the Queen Mother, who was sitting opposite Xiaoyue, was also fluctuating in her heart at this time.

She looked at the little moon in front of her, and couldn't help but think of the wind in her ears. This man is thin and thin, and he is not tall, and judging from his back, he really does not look like a man. Not to mention his beautiful facial features, maybe as a man, Wen Yue doesn't seem masculine enough, but if he is a woman, then he must be stunning.

"Wen Yue, do you know that the emperor is going to use the inventory silver of the Inner Palace?"

The Queen Mother's question made Xiao Yue a little embarrassed, after all, the inventory silver in this inner house is the private money of the two of them, and the emperor and the queen mother can use it as much as they want, and it is not her turn to speak at all.

After being silent for a long time, Xiao Yue squeezed out a sentence, "It seems that I heard the emperor mention it." ”

The Queen Mother said: "Then do you know the opinion of the mourning family?"

"This is the queen mother's family matter, how dare the grass people put their beaks. ”

The Queen Mother looked at her, smiled and said: "Actually, there is nothing to hide about this matter, and the emperor didn't take away the whole silver, otherwise the mourning family would drink the northwest wind? ”

Xiao Yue and the queen looked at each other, she didn't know what medicine was sold in the queen mother's gourd, so she didn't dare to open her mouth easily.

"You know what the mourning family has been up to lately, right?"

Xiao Yue shook her head cautiously, "The grass people are far away from the temple, they only know that the Queen Mother cares about the country and the people, and they don't know what the Queen Mother has been busy with recently." ”

"This is strange, you don't care about national affairs?" The Queen Mother looked at Xiao Yue with an innocent face in surprise.

Xiao Yue smiled awkwardly, and then explained: "If the grass people don't become officials, they naturally don't seek politics in their positions. She looked at the Queen Mother, who was a little puzzled, and then added: "But when the emperor needs the grass people to share his worries, the grass people will provide good advice." ”

The Empress Dowager looked a little disappointed, she lowered her head, sighed softly and said, "The Mourning family has been busy with the emperor's draft recently, expanding the harem. ”

When Xiao Yue heard this, she didn't dare to speak out.

The queen mother looked at her and said in a complaining tone: "The mourning family heard that Ziyu talked about you, and he said that you are neighbors across the wall. And he also said that you are already married and have children. ”

After saying this, she seemed to be even more sad, stretched out her hand to pick up the teacup, took a sip slowly, calmed down and continued: "Since you are also a parent, you should know the difficulties of being a parent. ”

Xiao Yue was cursing the dead fox in her heart, she must have climbed the tree next to the wall, peeked at her family, not only knew about Xiao Qi, but also told the Queen Mother openly.

But looking at her burning eyes, Xiao Yue had no choice but to nod obediently.

She was very satisfied with Xiaoyue's reaction, so she continued: "I'm afraid you look younger than the emperor, you have children, how old are the children?"

Xiao Yue replied truthfully: "One and a half years old." ”

Mu Jiangshui looked at her with envy, his eyes were like water, "It's really good, in fact, it stands to reason that if Hao'er has a child, it should be more than that, and you also know that the emperor has been married for several years." She lowered her head and said to herself reproachfully: "I am all complaining about my family, just don't let him out of the palace a few years ago." ”

Xiao Yue naturally couldn't see the originally domineering Queen Mother, and became so complaining. In addition, she secretly thought in her heart that Xiao Qi was actually Yuan Chenhao's child, that is, the grandson of the Queen Mother, but in order to protect herself, she was ready to continue to hide it.

Maybe it was a little guilty, maybe it was a little weak-hearted, she comforted in a low voice: "Queen Mother, didn't this emperor just marry the princess of Miguo? And he is also preparing for the draft, the matter of this imperial heir is in a hurry, maybe one day, the queen mother will have a grandson to hug." ”

Mu Jiangshui raised her head, her eyes were a little red, she looked at Xiao Yue and blurted out: "Your mouth is really sweet." ”

Then, she calmed her mind and said with a slight smile: "This time, the Mourning family was originally going to choose four beauties for the emperor, but he took away the silver from the Inner Palace, and then asked the Inner Mansion to report only the expenses of two people to the main palace. ”

Xiao Yue listened to the Queen Mother tell her about these secret things in the palace, and she was very uneasy in her heart.

It is said that she is not a member of the royal family, and even ordinary ministers will not hear these things from the mouth of the Queen Mother, let alone that she is a white ding, she keeps guessing in her heart what the Queen Mother wants to tell her about this.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother's voice changed and she said something that made Xiaoyue a little frightened.

"The mourning family previously handed over the stability of the government to the emperor, and the only hope for the rest of his life is to make the royal family prosperous and reproduce the heirs of the palace. First, he has an explanation for the royal family, and second, he can be worthy of the emperor after a hundred years. However, the palace looked at the emperor and didn't care about it, which was really a heart disease of the mourning family. ”

Mu Jiangshui looked at Xiao Yue with burning eyes, and then said: "In fact, he wants to reduce the use of the inner mansion and reduce the number of beauties entering the palace, and the mourning family can rely on him, and the mourning family is afraid... ”

Xiao Yue was stared at by her and felt a chill behind her back, "Ahem." He coughed twice, took a sip of tea, closed his lips tightly, and said nothing.

At this time, Xiao Yue could no longer hear the sound of the wind and cicadas, and she felt as if the air was solidified, and her heart became more and more frightened.

"The mourning family is afraid, even after these two beauties enter the palace, the emperor is the same as before, every day he either rests in the imperial study, or goes back to the Taiji Palace, and does not go to the harem at all. ”

Mu Jiangshui looked at Wen Yue motionless, and admired this person's concentration in his heart.

But she wasn't ready to stop there, she continued: "The matter of the emperor's heir, the mourning family has mentioned it to the emperor too many times, and he may have been tired of it for a long time. This palace thinks that you have a lot to do with the emperor, so the emperor can always listen to your words. ”

Xiaoyue understood this, the queen mother must have been bewitched by that Mu Ziyu and wanted to be a lobbyist, but this kind of thing, she felt that she had no face to mention it to Yuan Chenhao, and just as she was about to open her mouth to excuse herself, the queen mother said another word.

And this sentence was like dropping a bomb in Xiaoyue's heart, blowing her heart to pieces.
