Chapter XVII: The Queen

Entered the main house and turned the screen of the magpie in spring. Put a Wolong couch made of agarwood, covered with bright yellow cushions, Xu Qining and Zhao Zhi sat up, the rest of the people and others did the courtesy again, Fang stood aside, Zhao Zhi kindly asked about the daily life of the Xu family, Xu Qining sat quietly aside, and put the routine smile on his face again.

After greeting for a long time, it was already noon, Xu Qiyuan went out and ordered a meal, all kinds of KitKat dishes were served up like flowing water, Zhao Zhi and Xu Qining sat at a table alone, and they were all from the palace to serve, and they were all very eye-catching.

Zhao Zhi raised his glass from time to time, and the people below had to follow Tongqing and drink a few cups, Xiaoju pulled the bamboo sleeve and said softly: "Third sister, I want to come out of Gong." ”

Zhu frowned and looked around, complaining in his heart, Ju only said that the queen was provincial. Who knew that the emperor also came with him, and he knew that he was so restrained, so he didn't join in the excitement.

Seeing that the table was still in the corner and no one was paying attention, he whispered to the maid beside him: "You put on a cloak for Miss and take Miss to the toilet." ”

He also told Xiaoju: "Go and come back quickly." ”

Zhao Zhi's eyes always paid attention to the movements of the sisters, and when he saw Xiaoju get up and leave the table, he was overjoyed and glanced at Feng Shun, Feng Shun went out quietly, and turned around after a while, and whispered in his ear, Zhao Zhi nodded slightly, and said to Xu Qiyuan: "Xu Aiqing, there is something in the palace, I will leave the table first." ”

As soon as the words fell, he immediately knelt down, and in the chorus of everyone, Zhao Zhi went out without looking back, and when he got outside the house, he was not in a hurry to leave, walked a few steps, and stayed under the eaves.

It seemed like a long time to wait, and then it seemed like he only blinked. From afar, a pink chick slowly walked in, closer, still the small and delicate face, but not like last time, raised his eyes to look at him, bowed down to Yingying, and performed a standard of ten thousand blessings, Zhao Zhideng was greatly disappointed, and asked softly: "Don't you remember me?" ”

The little girl replied calmly: "The little girl has never seen the emperor before. ”

Zhao Zhi was stunned, waved his hand with a wry smile, and let her get up, and said in his heart, sure enough, all women in this world are the same.

Zhao Zhi leaned sideways, the chick walked in front of him with her eyebrows lowered and her head lowered, and the moment the two staggered, a very faint and almost inaudible word escaped from the chick's mouth: "Fool." ”

The voice was as small as a spring bud emerging from the ground, Zhao Zhi heard it clearly, he looked up suddenly, and saw that the young figure of the chick was gradually moving away, and it seemed to be full of disdain.

A string of low smiles escaped from Zhao Zhi's throat. He lifted his robe, supported the handrail of the corridor with one hand, turned over and jumped into the courtyard, and strode towards Feng Yuan, thinking about the name that Feng Shun inquired about, Xiaoju, Xiaoju, an empty heart seemed to have finally settled.

After Zhao Zhi left the table, the banquet was much looser, and An Shi tugged at the sleeve of the old man's coat and asked softly: "You say, is Ning'er happy or unhappy?" ”

Master Xu tilted his head sideways, secretly glanced at his daughter a few times, and said with a wry smile: "I can't see it, and Mrs. also knows that this child is happy and laughs like this, and he laughs like this when he is unhappy." ”

An Shi glanced at him, and gently tugged Xu Qiyuan's sleeve, "Son, do you say your sister is happy or unhappy?" ”

Xu Qiyuan glanced at it and said lightly: "I'm really happy today, but on weekdays, maybe I've always been unhappy." ”

Listening to his words, An Shi was both happy and sour, knowing that today, it was better to have a child than at the beginning.

Wait for Xiaoju to come back. Zhu Fang had the heart to look at the Queen of Daning, who was sitting alone at the table-Xu Qining. At first glance, it was just a golden yellow, dazzling, and after a while, only the warm smile of the woman on the table was left in his eyes.

Her smile is as gentle as a mother, without a little selfishness, which makes people feel good at first sight, but she doesn't dare to blaspheme, she can only admire it stupidly, and she sighs secretly, the woman in the world is really different.

Zhu took a few bites of snacks, unconsciously looked at Xu Qining and was distracted, seeing that she was always smiling, always holding a wine glass and dipping her lips to put it, occasionally holding a chopstick with a chopstick, no more, no less, put it in her mouth, chewed it gently, and everyone saw it, it was like grinding ink and painting, and the end was extremely elegant.

Zhu corresponded Xu Qining's every move with what Mrs. Xu taught, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised. The height of her arms, the angle of her wrists, the length of the chopsticks sticking out, and the number of dishes she picked up were all the same.

The twins next to him seem to be much more honest today, and the two of them rarely lost interest in food, staring at Xu Qining with wide eyes, chanting words in their mouths, and listening to them with their ears, but they couldn't help but be a little curious.

When Xu Qining put down his chopsticks. Just in time for An Shi to wipe his lips with a handkerchief, Zhu Xin said, is it so coincidental, looking left and right, I saw that the Xu family was full of wine and food, and An Shi ate the slowest amount, but it happened to be a little faster than Xu Qining.

The twins' two heads came together and muttered, and Bamboo couldn't help but knock a shudder and asked, "What are you muttering?" ”

Xiaozhu came up mysteriously and said quietly: "Third sister, my sister and I counted just now, and she really only used twenty spoons for this meal. ”

Zhu Wuyan, the first time I heard Mrs. Xu talk about the queen's education, it was just a joke, after all, if she really became the queen, would anyone care how many chopsticks she had in a meal? When I saw Xu Qining today, I believed that there is really a model in the world, and it is three points stronger than what Mrs. Xu said.

She even controlled the speed of eating, and if she finished eating first, the others were afraid that they would go hungry and accompany her out of the table; If she finished eating, others could only accompany her stupidly, and she only controlled the timing of the last release, which invisibly saved everyone's embarrassment.

After thinking about it, I don't know how much Xu Qining suffered when he was a child to achieve what he is today, and he can't help but secretly rejoice that he is the daughter of the family.

After eating, Xu Qining called Ju, took her hand and sat on the collapse together, looked at it and looked at it earnestly, one lip grinned slightly, and saw Bei Ya with a rare smile, "Bengong has been learning various skills at home since he was a child, but it is rare to see his cousin, and his cousin is even more lovely than Bengong imagined." ”

Ju couldn't be praised the most, and hung his head shyly, listening to Xu Qining in his ear: "Don't be too restrained when you get married." My own uncle is not an outsider, if Yuan Yuan bullies you, come to find my sister to make decisions for you. "Later, I naturally got a lot closer.

Xu Qining's gentle eyes swept and said with a smile: "A few of them are your sisters over there, call them over to meet your sister." ”

Bamboo approached, see this queen mother temperament is better, a pair of hands placed in the position is very interesting, she held the chrysanthemum in her right hand, the left hand stretched out to meet them, the void grip, the fingertips moved lightly to make people involuntarily walk to her, waiting for a few women to form a circle, she put the hands of the two girls around her, only let them side, but with their hands to hold the hands of the two opposite.

A pair of eyes looked at this, looked at that, and for a while, no one was left out in the cold. She was kind and kind, and praised all the sisters in a few soft words:

"It's really rare to be so Peugeot and a twin, the eyes are smart, it's very lively on weekdays, this little looks the best, it's rare and elegant, this is the third sister of the family, it's a sister at first sight, I just saw that you have been holding your sister's hand."

The sisters are all overjoyed, this queen can praise people, and every word is praised to the point.

The twins' eyes roll, lively, hehe, not naughty, it's good. Xiaoju stood more and more straight, she really didn't shake her skirt, and the bamboo on the side knew that she was boring, and the sister of the Xu family said that she treated her sister well, and this queen mother was really exquisite.

After thinking about it, Xu Qining did not hesitate to condescend to her sisters and show her sisters, which shows that she and Xu Qiyuan's sister and brother have a deep relationship, her heart moved slightly, and she looked at Xu Qiyuan, and saw that he looked tired, and the circles around his eyes were a little dark, showing that he had not slept all night after being tossed yesterday, but his face was always smiling, and occasionally glanced at this side, and the smile immediately soaked into his eyes, which seemed to be different from usual.

After a while, Zhu took a few younger sisters to retire with interest, and Lian Ju was also pulled out by her, leaving only the Xu family's parents and Xu Qiyuan in the house.

Xu Qining got up from the couch, walked in front of the second elder, bowed slightly, An Shi took her hands, and said a thousand words in her heart, but she couldn't spit out a word when she came to her mouth, what did she say? What is there to say? This daughter has not needed to be copied since she was a child, and after she arrives at Jilu, her words and deeds are even more flawless and impeccable.

Xu Qiyuan came closer, looked at it for a long time, stretched out his hand, pinched Xu Qining's cheeks, pulled it gently, and said expressionlessly: "Sister, don't laugh like this." ”

Xu Qining's eyes were slightly moist, and there seemed to be a scene from ten years ago in front of her, when she practiced stiff skin in order to make her smile more impressive, and there was an expression on her face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

The little Xu Qiyuan suddenly appeared in front of her, pinched her face fiercely, and scolded: "Don't laugh, it's ugly." "All the grievances burst out, she has always been praised by her grandmother, she has a lot of demeanor at a young age, she actually hugged this younger brother and cried bitterly, when did it come, by the way, it was after he went to the house to be a guest a few times.

From childhood to adulthood, only this younger brother will say this to her, sister, don't laugh.

She gently patted Xu Qiyuan's hands, still with a smile on her face, and said in a low voice: "I'm used to it." Xu Qiyuan looked at her, but felt that Xu Qining's figure was gradually fading, and it seemed that it would disappear as soon as the wind blew, so he immediately stretched out his hand to pull her shirt, and said with heartache: "Sister, ......."
