Sent back to their ancestral homeland? That is to say, he no longer has Ze'er in his heart, He Shi was no longer crazy when Haoyang spoke, and when he heard Duan Qisheng's words at this moment, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, she didn't care what she wanted, even if she died directly now, it didn't matter, but her Ze'er had become so sluggish now, how could she rest assured that he was sent back to Jizhou.

She slowly knelt on the ground and begged Duan Qisheng: "Master, please allow the concubine to take Zhi'er with you and accompany Ze'er back to her ancestral hometown!" As she spoke, she kowtowed to Duan Qisheng three times in a row.

It's okay to go, in this way, it can be regarded as an explanation to Qiaoxiu's mother and son. Duan Qisheng made up his mind in his heart, looked down at the He family and said: "Back to the ancestral hometown, if I hear that your mother and son are not living well there, and what storms are coming, you will wait for my ......" He didn't say the word "Hushu".

However, He knew in his heart what Duan Qisheng's unfinished words were.

"Don't worry, my lord, the concubine and Ze'er will definitely live in peace." He kowtowed and promised.

Zhi'er is not going to get married yet, what else can she toss?

"Hmm." Duan Qisheng nodded, raised his eyes and glanced at the maid mother and servant in the courtyard, and said coldly: "Madame is suffering from a serious illness and wants to go back to her ancestral home to recuperate. The girl, mother, and servant all knelt down in response, "Back to the master, the slave (slave) heard clearly." "What kind of lintel is Duanfu, and what is their identity, the girl's mother and servant don't know clearly in their hearts, even if they borrow their ten guts, they don't dare to go out of the house to the street, and talk nonsense about what happened in Yixinju today.

"It's all gone!" Waving his hand, Duan Qisheng ordered the people to go about their own business, and then, he walked to Qiaoxiu and Haoyang, and said: "Zi'er girl, let's bury it as the old second concubine, as for the child in her womb who has not yet been formed, just ......" Qiaoxiu nodded and said: "Master doesn't need to say much, Zi'er She can have today, and there are also her faults, what the master has done for her is enough, thank you for the concubine here!" "If Zi'er had told her and Yang'er about her being forced by the second son, maybe today's incident would not have happened.

took the wrong path and ended up in the current situation, which is also inseparable from her own responsibility. Now, she can be buried as the concubine of the second son, thinking about it, she should have no complaints! Qiaoxiu sighed, thinking to herself. "Yang'er, my father knows today's decision, and it is unfair to you and your mother, but my father ...... There is a difficulty of being a father...... "He really doesn't want to see the past, and then renew it on the brothers Haoyang and Duan Haoze."

Haoyang looked indifferent and said, "Dad, I know your difficulties, otherwise, I wouldn't have put the second brother in order for Qingfeng Lou until now." I originally thought that he would restrain his thoughts when he knew that Qingfeng Lou would not take his order, but he actually poisoned my mother's diet by forcing Zi'er. Speaking of this, Haoyang seemed to think of something, only to see him take out a delicate vial from his sleeve, and then instructed Hong'er: "Take out a little of the antidote in the bottle, blend it into the water, and serve it to the old man to drink." Hong'er answered, took the vial handed to her, and turned to retreat.

Then, he looked at Duan Qisheng and said, "I only think about my mother and me, and I forgot about my father's occasional meals in Yixinju." Duan Qisheng shook his head with a smile, "Dad, I don't feel anything wrong, don't blame yourself." Haoyang hummed lightly, caught Hong'er's words before giving Duan Qisheng the antidote, and said: "If it weren't for the fact that a few days ago in the palace, the princess saw that my mental state was not right, and gave me a pulse, I still don't know that I was poisoned." Subsequently, after being reminded by the emperor and the princess, I suspected that the poison was instructed by the second brother to get it, and it may have come into contact with my mother's diet, except for Hong'er and Zi'er, there was no one else, so I secretly observed their actions, but I didn't find the slightest inappropriateness, in order not to tolerate the annihilation, I decided to talk to Hong'er and Zi'er alone this morning, and the result of the discussion was that Zi'er was used by the second brother, and then threatened by it, so I helped the second brother poison my mother's diet.

I didn't want to send Zi'er to the official, but unexpectedly, she listened to what I told Hong'er, and under self-blame, she went to a dead end, so I was angry, so I broke into Wenmoju and brought my second brother here, so that he could see Zi'er's death, it was all because of him that Zi'er had today's tragic death! Haoyang didn't say any more, but looked at the distant sky, caught up in his own thoughts, for a long time, he let out a long sigh, "I hope he remembers today's lesson and can do it for himself, otherwise, next time, I will directly kill him with a sword." The words that came out of the mouth seemed to be plain, but they invisibly revealed an awe-inspiring atmosphere.

Duan Qisheng said: "If there is a next time, it will be if you don't make a move, you will be the first to finish him off for your father!" Qiaoxiu stood aside, quietly listening to the conversation between their father and son, and halfway through, she instructed the old mother in the courtyard to change Zi'er into a clean dress, and then bury her properly after Duan Qisheng and Haoyang finished speaking.

……

In a flash, more than half a month has passed, and the Duan family's mansion has not lost its original peace due to the death of Zi'er and the fact that the three of He's mother and son returned to their ancestral hometown.

The housekeeping in the house, although Qiaoxiu is unfamiliar with it, it is also well organized.

The servants and servants all knew in their hearts that the mother and son of the He family were sent to Jizhou by Duan Qisheng because of what they had done, and they knew which one would be the master of the house in the future, that is, the elders of the clan, they also knew it tightly, so far, no one dared to have a contemptuous heart against Qiaoxiu.

I don't know if Duan Qisheng ordered the people to call Qiaoxiu his wife, or if the subordinates spontaneously called Qiaoxiu like this.

Anyway, the result is: the title of "Second Lady" has really changed in Qiaoxiu.

The summer heat makes people feel a little bored.

Vice-Chancellor's Office.

"Ning'er, as soon as your birthday passes next month, you will be almost seventeen." Snow Shadow sat on the couch, held her daughter's hand, and said softly. Now she has a cold breath on her body, almost all of which has been replaced by soft and warm maternal love, since marrying Yan and giving birth to Zining, her spleen has changed from her bones. Such a woman is undoubtedly more like and loved by Yan.

Zi Ning raised her head and looked at Xue Ying in confusion, "Mother, I know I'm almost seventeen." As she spoke, she paused slightly, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said, "Does my mother have something to tell me?" A loving smile appeared on the corner of Xue Ying's lips, and she nodded: "A few days ago, your Aunt Qingying came to visit our house, saying that she wanted to set a wedding date for you and Jinyu, and wait for the spring of next year to do the marriage between the two of you. "After the four shadows got married, they often walked around each other in their spare time, and the relationship was even better than serving by Ling Wushuang's side before.

And the relationship between the dead, the flame, the ice, and the cold, needless to say, is still the same as in the past.

They cherish each other's children very much, so it is only natural that they will become in-laws.

However, the children have grown up after all, they have their own ideas, and in marriage, as their parents, it is still necessary to ask them, lest the children agree to the marriage against their will in order not to disappoint their elders, and eventually create a pair of resentful couples.

Jinyu?

The boy who is not much older than her, who said he wanted to marry her when he was young, and for many years afterward, as long as she appeared, he would mostly appear, and would silently look at her with concerned eyes, oh, no, now he is no longer a little boy, but a handsome and tall son.

Do you want to agree to marry him?

Zi Ning asked herself in her heart.

In the face of him, there were ripples in her heart, but those ripples were completely negligible compared to seeing another man.

"Ning'er, my mother asked you, why didn't you respond?" Seeing that Zi Ning was silent, Xue Ying patted the back of her hand lightly and said, "Don't you like Jinyu?" Zi Ning's body trembled slightly, and she shook her head, she didn't dislike Jin Yu, she liked to hear his concern for her, she liked him to pull his lips at her, showing a light smile, but that liking, the kind of liking between men and women, is very different, she likes him as a brother.

Do you say you don't want to marry him?

In this case, it will definitely break the hearts of the two adults.

Besides, if she doesn't marry him, who else can she marry?

Is it the one buried deep in my heart? Hehe, impossible, that he, like a celestial, she can't reach it, so she can only look at him secretly from a distance, when he is not paying attention.

"Mother, I'm still young, wait two years for the marriage to talk, can't I?" The bitter smile in her heart dissipated, and Zi Ning slowly raised her head, facing the snow film and television line. Xue Ying didn't reply to her immediately, but looked at her fixedly for a while, and then opened her lips and said, "Tell my mother, do you have someone in your heart?" The words sounded like a question, but Yukikage already knew what he was doing.

Most of her silly girls already belong to her.

Who could it be?

Could it be one of the Phantom Brothers' twins?

No, it won't be them.

When I was a child, those two boys were not very close to her family Ning'er, only Jinyu of the Qingying family, like a big brother, protected Ning'er.

Snow Shadow vetoed the thought in her heart, her eyes fixed on Zi Ning, unblinking, waiting for her mouth to reply.

"Mother, I'm ...... I didn't ......" Zi Ning replied humbly, as her mother, how could Snow Shadow not be able to hear from her dodging eyes and the tone of her voice, "Ning Er, you have always been a good boy who reassures your mother, and you have never lied to your mother. Zi Ning's eyes were staggered with the snow shadow, and then he withdrew his hand from his palm, turned out the window, and muttered, "Mother, don't ask, it's impossible between me and him." ”

Snow Shadow's heart tightened, and she asked tentatively, "...... you You're in love with the emperor, aren't you? Zi Ning didn't nod or shake her head, however, her acquiescence confirmed the conjecture in Xue Ying's heart, she sighed lightly, pulled Zi Ning's hand, let it look at her gaze, and said quietly: "Ning Er, you like the emperor, my mother can understand." Because there is no one in the world who is as good as the emperor and a woman in the world who is not moved, but you have to think clearly, what do you rely on to become his partner? ”

Zi Ning blushed at Xue Ying's words, and she snorted, "Mother, I'm ...... Am I really not worthy of the emperor? Snow Shadow shook her head, "It's not a question of whether you deserve it or not, it's the emperor's ...... It was difficult for him to be tempted by women...... Zi Ning was puzzled, "Why?" Why is it difficult for the emperor to be tempted by women? Could it be ...... Could it be that he has a special fetish...... "The emperor will not have a special fetish, she has never heard gossip about the emperor when she accompanies the princess in the palace, Zi Ning denied what she asked Xue Ying, however, she was confused in an instant.

Since the emperor has no special fetishes, why would his mother say that it is difficult for the emperor to be tempted by women?

From her eyes, Xue Ying seemed to read what she was thinking, and said: "The empress and princess have seen a lot of outstanding demeanor, and the emperor can't help but compare other women with them, in this way, do you think there is any woman who can easily live in his heart?" Also, Mo Xiang's daughter, have you ever seen it, whether it is appearance, talent, or character, she can be called a model for the ladies in the palaces of the ministers of the DPRK and China, as far as she is concerned, she has not moved the emperor, let alone other women? "What happened in the palace some time ago, the details of the water in the Tilting Palace, the people in the market, or most of the ministers in the court, don't know what is going on, but the snow shadow knows it clearly from the mouth of the flame.

Mo Ying, a girl with a beautiful appearance and extremely tenacious feelings, in order to save the little prince, her body was crippled, and this incompleteness may be her lifelong pain, just like this, she could not let the emperor have pity for her, so as to show the master and Emperor Mo to marry her into the palace.

When the master summoned her to the palace to accompany her, she had thought that Mo Ying was the queen candidate set by the master for the emperor, but the result could only make people sigh.

"Mother, I'm ...... I like the emperor, but I didn't expect to marry him, don't worry, I won't let myself do foolish things. Estimating that the time to enter the palace to accompany Xiaonuo was coming, Zi Ning said Xue Ying well, thought for a moment, and then told Pan what she thought in her heart. Xue Ying just had a serious expression on her face, returned to a soft state, and said, "Then ...... your marriage to Jinyu" Before she could finish speaking, Zi Ning interrupted her and said, "Mother, you allow me to think about it for a few more days, and then I will give you a quasi-word, do you think?" Snow Shadow smiled and nodded, "Okay." ”

Zi Ning said: "Mother, I can't talk to you anymore." After she said this, Xue Ying hurriedly let go of the hand that was holding her, and said, "Look, my mother only cares about talking to you, and forgetting the princess's summoning you to the palace to accompany her, go quickly, don't let the princess wait longer." ”

"Hmm." Zi Ning responded, and then quickly stood up from the couch, "Mother, then I'll go!" ”

Snow Shadow waved his hand and said softly, "Well, let's go quickly." I hope the girl really knows it, otherwise, she can only be alone, Xue Ying looked at Zining's back as she disappeared outside the door, her eyes were full of pity, and she shook her head.

The entrance to the palace.

Zi Ning immediately got up and down from the mansion, and met Tian Xiang who was also getting off the carriage, so the two said hello, showed their waist cards to enter the palace, showed them to the guards at the palace gate, and quickly entered the palace.

Seeing them, Xiao Nuo was very happy.

"Mother, Nanfeng and my father have gone to learn martial arts, you don't look sleepy, or you and Xiao Yueling can sleep on the couch, and let Zi Ning and Tian Xiang accompany me to the imperial garden for a walk." Xiao Nuo stood up from the couch and said to Ling Wushuang. "I'm afraid it's still hot outside!" Ling Wushuang said, covered her mouth and yawned again, feeding the little thing at night was really tormenting enough to choke, causing her to yawn all the time during the day.

Xiao Nuo glanced at the slightly dark sky outside the window, and said with a smile: "Didn't Zi Ning and Tian Xiang say just now, it's windy outside, and the sun is also hidden, maybe after a while, it will rain in a while!" After listening to her words, Ling Wushuang glanced out the window and said, "If you want to play, just go, but once it rains, quickly let Zi Ning and Tian Xiang help you back." ”

"Oh!"

Xiao Nuo's cheeks were slightly red, and he glanced at Zi Ning and Sweetheart embarrassedly, and then nodded to Ling Wushuang in response.

"Don't worry, the empress will take care of the princess." Although Zi Ning and Tian Xiang didn't know why Ling Wushuang told Xiao Nuo like that just now, in order for Ling Wushuang to rest assured that Xiao Nuo went for a walk in the Imperial Garden, they bowed and said a word of peace of mind very obediently.

Ling Wushuang nodded and said with a smile, "Go ahead." Walking out of Yaohua Palace, Tianxiang walked and looked at Xiaonuo with blinking eyes, "Princess, the empress wants me and Zining to help you, why don't you listen to the empress and don't let us support you." Xiao Nuo glanced at her and said, "I'm fine, why do I want you to help me go, my mother is just worried." As she spoke, she smiled mysteriously and continued, "Wait a minute, I'll tell you a secret!" ”

"Princess, what secret? Otherwise, you can tell me and Zining now. Tian Xiang grabbed Xiao Nuo's arm and shook it, the mysterious smile on Xiao Nuo's face gradually became sweet, and said, "Wait, I will tell you and Zi Ning later." Zi Ning walked on the other side of her, and then said, "Princess, you shouldn't have a baby, right?" She said, glancing at Arnold's flat belly.

Xiao Nuo paused, looked at her in surprise, and said, "How can you see it, see that I have it?" Zi Ning's eyes were soft, and she replied playfully: "I smell it from the breath emanating from the princess!" Tian Xiang was stunned for a moment, reached out and poked Zi Ning's arm, and said, "You are so powerful, you can even smell whether the princess has a body or not, with your nose!" ”

Suddenly, Xiao Nuo was amused by Tianxiang's words, and laughed out loud.

About the story that happened between Xiaonuo and Nanfeng, Zining and Tianxiang knew it very well in their hearts, and when they saw Xiaonuo caressing their abdomen, they smiled happily, they looked at each other, and whispered in Xiaonuo's ear: "Zining (Tianxiang) Congratulations to the princess!" ”

Xiao Nuo nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you!" With that, the three of them continued towards the Imperial Garden.

The Royal Garden is adjacent to Yueling Lake, and Ling Ling and Haoyang are standing on the grass by the lake at the moment, looking at the various lotus flowers blooming in the lake and chatting. "Do you really have no intention of being interested in Mo Xiang's daughter?" Hearing Haoyang's sudden question, Ling Ling was very puzzled, looked at him, and said lightly: "This son, how can you ask me about this?" ”

Haoyang raised his hand and rubbed it on his nose, smiled, and said, "Isn't I concerned about your life's affairs!" ”

"It's my mother who let you blow the wind in your ears." Tilting Ling glanced at him, looked away, and looked at the lotus flowers blooming in the lake again, "You are going to the next morning today, and you were invited to leave by the palace maid next to my mother, don't think I don't know." Haoyang shrugged and said, "The empress, she is also out of concern for you, so she will let me nag a word or two in front of you, don't be angry with the empress for this." ”

"I seem to have told you that I didn't plan to marry, have you forgotten?"

"I haven't forgotten. But if you say it, it's completely impossible. Haoyang smiled lightly on the corner of his lips and replied.

Ling Ling was silent for a long time before he said, "Is it important to marry?" I didn't feel it at all. Haoyang said: "It's not important, for others, it may be nothing, but for you, it's definitely extremely important." Concubine Mo Xiang's thoughts about you, I think you know, why don't you give her a chance, give you a chance, try to accept her, in this way, the empress will be relieved for your lifelong events. ”

Does she want him to marry?

Did she already know that he liked her?

When he came here, he only said that he had something to do with her, and did not say that he had loved her deeply, and was stabbed to death with a dagger by Susan because he was saddened that she had died in an accident.

A wry smile slowly appeared at the corner of Ling Ling's mouth. She must have guessed from the way he looked at her for more than ten years that he liked her, so she was reluctant to marry Mo Ying.

After not hearing Ling Ling speak for a long time, Haoyang thought that after Ling Wushuang finished talking to him, as soon as he walked out of the gate of Yaohua Palace, Xiao Nuo caught up with him, covering his mouth and smiling while asking him what he said.

"Haoyang, does my brother like you? Well, it must be, he must like you, otherwise, how can he not like Mo Ying, he is tired of being with you almost every day. ”

Hearing what she said, he almost fell to the ground in shock.

Feeling that the atmosphere between the two was a little dull, Haoyang opened his mouth and said, "Han, you shouldn't really like me, right?" If so, I can't accept it, because I already have Xin'er! He said with a look of grievance, as if Ling Ling really liked him, "Can you be funny?" He glanced at him and spit out angrily.

Zining and Tianxiang accompanied Xiaonuo to the Imperial Garden for a while, worried that Xiaonuo's body would not be able to bear it, so they persuaded Xiaonuo to go to the pavilion by the lake and sit down and rest.

"Princess, the emperor and Lord Duan are standing by the lake, should we go over and say hello?" Tian Xiang sat on the bench bored, got up and looked around, and inadvertently saw the backs of Ling Ling and Haoyang, so he showed it to Xiaonuo. Xiao Nuo looked in the direction of her finger, shook her head, and said, "No, they may be talking about the past, let's go over here, and it will inevitably disturb them." As she spoke, she suddenly stood up, walked quickly outside the pavilion, and held on to a tree and retched, "Princess, are you alright?" Zi Ning and Tian Xiang hurriedly walked out of the pavilion, stood beside her, and asked with concern.

"I didn't ...... It's not ......" Xiao Nuo wanted to say that she was fine, but another wave of retching gushed out of her throat, "Princess, otherwise, Tianxiang and I will help you back to Yaohua Palace!" Feeling a little more comfortable, Xiao Nuo raised his head, looked at Zi Ning, and said, "I still want to sit in the pavilion for a while." As she spoke, the person walked towards the pavilion, "Princess, why don't I go back to Yaohua Palace and get you some preserved fruits to eat, so it may be better." Tian Xiang stood under the tree and did not move, and said.

Xiaonuo stopped, looked back at her, and said with a smile: "You look for my mother, she knows what preserved fruits I like to eat." Tian Xiang nodded, "Okay." At the end of the call, she quickly walked away.

"Princess, are you really okay?" Helping Xiaonuo walk back to the bench and sit down, Zi Ning asked Xiaonuo again uneasily, "It's okay, I feel much better this time." Arnold replied in a soft voice.

"Oh." Zi Ning didn't speak again.

Xiao Nuo saw that she had stood for a long time and did not sit down, she was strange, and gradually raised her head, and saw the emotion in Zi Ning's eyes, looking in the direction where Ling Ling and Haoyang were standing, in a daze. Zining likes the royal brother? Xiao Nuo thought in her heart that she didn't think about Zi Ning's thoughts on Haoyang, because between Haoyang and Zi Ning, there are few opportunities to meet, and Dumpling is different.

Zining and Tianxiang have been reading to Xiaonuo in the palace for nearly ten years, and in these ten years, the opportunities to meet with Tilting Ling are naturally innumerable, so it is extremely easy to slowly develop a heart of admiration for Tilting.

Sighing slightly, Xiao Nuo whispered: "Zining, my imperial brother is very good, but he ...... It's hard for him to be tempted by women. "Huh?" Zi Ning instantly came back to her senses, her cheeks flushed, and she didn't know how to explain her actions to Xiao Nuo just now, "Sit." Arnold patted the bench beside him and motioned for her to sit down and speak.

Zi Ning nodded softly, lowering her eyes and not daring to look at Xiao Nuo.

"Don't feel embarrassed, I feel like someone, there's nothing unpleasant. I just talked to you, in fact, I just want to tell you that it is difficult for my imperial brother to be emotionally attached to a woman, and a woman who falls in love with him is destined to be heartbroken. Xiao Nuo's words were soft, and Zi Ning said.

Zi Ning raised her head, a very shallow smile appeared on the corner of her lips, the smile was slightly bitter, she said: "The emperor is very good, I am just like other women, I have admiration for him who is like a heavenly man, and nothing else." Afraid that Xiaonuo was still worried about her, she added: "Before coming to the palace today, my mother has already told me, and she said...... She said that Aunt Qingying was going to give me and Jinyu an engagement date, and she would give it to us at the beginning of spring next year...... Give us ......," she said, bowing her head in shame and not saying any more.
