，

Her stupid son was useless, and he tossed a good family into the current situation, so that she has not been able to see her eldest granddaughter to this day.

Now that I see this little granddaughter, I feel very kind.

She sat down on the soft couch and beckoned to Jun Youji, "Child, come here." ”

Junyou Ji looked at Ji Ruxue, and Ji Ruxue nodded.

Only then did she hold the puppet rabbit, walked up to Gu Xian, learned the appearance of the palace ladies, and bowed: "Say hello to the imperial grandmother." ”

Gu Xian saw that her saluting posture was standard and her speech was generous, and her heart suddenly felt comfortable.

She hugged Junyou Ji in her arms, and swept towards Ji Ruxue: "It is said that oranges are oranges when they are born in Huainan, and oranges are oranges in Huaibei, but it is unreasonable for the mourning family to look at them." Growing up in that weird place, how can the granddaughter of the mourning family be well-read and likable? ”

Ji Ruxue was disgusted by her, her eyes were red, and she only bowed her head and said nothing.

When the banquet was about to start, Gu Qinyuan came in a hurry with Xie Zhao.

The two saluted Gu Xian together: "Greetings to the imperial aunt!" ”

Gu Xian hugged Jun Youji, looking at the two of them with disgust for a while.

She has never liked Xie Zhao, and now this woman has become her nephew and daughter-in-law!

She didn't let the two of them get up, and said coldly: "What about the little girl of the Xie family?" ”

Gu Qinyuan has never been to Chuxin Courtyard so far, and he doesn't know that Xie Tao has already left, let alone the matter of the letter and the book.

Therefore, he bowed his head and said: "Tao Tao is not feeling well, and my nephew is afraid that the carriage and horses will bump her, so he has not taken her into the palace with him." ”

"Bumps in the carriage?" Gu Xian sneered, "The nephew of the mourning family is now a master above ten thousand people under one person, what kind of woman do you want?" I'm afraid that I have long forgotten how well the little girl treated you back then. ”

She paused and softened her tone: "Qin Yuan, the wife of the chaff, don't give up." ”

Gu Qinyuan hung his head and arched his hand: "The imperial aunt is reasonable, and the nephew must keep it in mind." ”

Gu Xian raised her hand and motioned for him to go to the outer hall.

Gu Qinyuan helped Xie Zhao up and advised: "I will serve the imperial aunt for a good life, and when the night banquet is over, I will come to pick you up again." ”

Xie Zhao's eyebrows were gentle, and he nodded obediently.

Gu Xian didn't like her behavior the most, and said lightly: "Let's have a banquet." ”

The royal dinner on the first day of the Lunar New Year is precious and lively.

The roof of the hall is hung with a huge branch candle flame, the large round table carved by rosewood is spread out, and the palace ladies hold all kinds of exquisite dishes and serve them to the table with a smile.

Gu Xian sat down first, raised her hand and motioned for Shen Miaoyan and Gu Xiangxiang to sit on either side of her.

This seating unconsciously caused the thoughts of the people at the table to fluctuate.

Xu Sijiao bit her fingers, it stands to reason that those sitting next to the Queen Mother should be her two daughters-in-law.

But she, a serious daughter-in-law, never sat down, what is Shen Miaoyan, why did she sit next to the Queen Mother first......

Ji Ruxue was in a depressed mood, looking at her mother-in-law's posture, she seemed to have intentionally wanted to give this girl from the Gu family to Tianyan......

Everyone had their own thoughts, but Xie Zhao was in a very good mood because he squeezed Xie Tao away, and he was about to sit down at the table with a spring breeze on his face.

As soon as he sat down, he heard Gu Xian say lightly: "You go to the side to eat." The concubine room, on a serious banquet occasion, how can you go to the table? ”

Everyone looked at Xie Zhao.

Xie Zhao's beautiful face suddenly turned blue and white, and his hand painted with bright red dankou couldn't help but clutch the hem of his skirt tightly.

A flash of anger flashed in Xing's eyes, she had to hide it for a while, and said softly: "Aunt Huang, the concubine is pregnant, and she is pregnant with the blood of the Gu family, isn't she qualified to dine at the same table with you?" ”

Gu Xian became more and more displeased, "The serious nephew and grandson of the mourning family have been killed by you, and they haven't settled accounts with you yet, how dare you say more?!" ”

She was talking about Xie Tao's miscarriage.

Seeing that the banquet fell into an embarrassing atmosphere, Gu Qinyuan's sister-in-law Wang Jiayue hurriedly played a round: "Aunt Huang, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, let's have a good meal, if there is anything, it will not be too late to talk about it later." ”

Gu Xian glanced at Xie Zhao, whose face was pale, and did not continue to pursue her.

Xie Zhao was like a needle on his back, and he didn't dare to raise his head for half an hour.

It was easy to survive until the end of the dinner, Xie Zhao didn't dare to stay at all, and quickly left the inner hall under the pretext of changing clothes.

Gu Qinyuan happened to come out to sober up, and when he saw her go to the back garden of Cining Palace, he subconsciously followed.

Xie Zhao stood alone by the pond in the garden blowing the wind, and in the dim light and shadow, her eyes were dark and cold, full of resentment.

was standing alone, Wang Jiayue came over, "I said you are in the west room, but it turns out that you are here." ”

Xie Zhao immediately put on a smiling face, "Why is my sister-in-law here?" ”

Wang Jiayue walked up to her, "Zhao'er, don't complain about the emperor's aunt's heavy talk, you are indeed responsible for the miscarriage of your brother and daughter-in-law." Although you are a concubine, we all know that my brother treats you sincerely. As long as you are willing to live well with your brother and daughter-in-law, how can there be more such things in the Prime Minister's Mansion? ”

Mrs. Gu died early, and as the eldest sister-in-law, she can be described as a bitter mother-in-law, wanting to make Gu Qinyuan's mansion peaceful and harmonious.

However, Xie Zhao refused to accept her kindness.

She sneered, "Sister-in-law's words are really unreasonable. My sister's miscarriage was because she pushed me into the water, so Xiangye punished her for kneeling. Who knows that my sister is like a person made of paper, and she fainted and had a miscarriage without kneeling for a while, what does it have to do with me? What's more, even if he didn't have a miscarriage, his sister was so delicate, and the child was so unstrong, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to give birth in the future. ”

Wang Jiayue was so angry with her that her face changed, "Zhao'er! ”

Xie Zhao looked at how unpleasant she was, and mocked: "Sister-in-law, you are the lady of the main house, why bother to come over and persuade me to be such an unsuccessful concubine?" ”

Wang Jiayue choked, shook her head in hatred, and turned around to leave.

Xie Zhao stared at her back, evil was born from the side of his guts, and suddenly raised his foot and stepped on the hem of her skirt.

There was moss and thin ice on the edge of the pond, it was already slippery, and when she stepped on it like this, Wang Jiayue's whole person rolled into the pond uncontrollably!

Xie Zhao looked at her rising and falling on the pond, and her beautiful face showed a bit of ridicule: "Sister-in-law, you are not me, so you will never understand my difficulties." I also want to climb up, and I also want to be the master. Since normal means cannot satisfy my wishes, then I can only sell my conscience. ”

Wang Jiayue struggled in the water, staring at her in disbelief.

The corners of Xie Zhao's mouth hooked coldly, and then shouted in a panic: "Someone, help, someone has fallen into the water!" ”

Soon, people from the palace rushed over, and even Gu Xian and the others were alarmed, and they rushed to this side one after another.

Gu Lingjun picked up Wang Jiayue, who was soaking wet, and hurriedly walked to the inner hall while asking, "Okay, what are you doing here?" Why did you fall into the water again? ”

Wang Jiayue held his sleeve and looked at Xie Zhao, but saw a sarcastic smile on the corner of her lips.

She didn't understand what kind of mentality this little brother-in-law had to stay by Gu Qinyuan's side.

Somehow, however, she developed a sympathy for her.
