Looking at her kneeling straight body, and the look of waiting for praise on her face, it was rare that Emperor Mingde was speechless for a while, and couldn't help but reach out to support his forehead.

He didn't have anything to say, but the ministers in the palace seemed to have exploded, whether it was sending people to paint small portraits in various mansions or holding a blind date banquet in the palace, they couldn't accept it.

"Xie Yangui, how can you say such shameless words as a woman!" Some old ministers trembled their hands and pointed at Xie Yangui and scolded.

"How can this be called shameless? Didn't the ancients pass through the clouds? There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. Although I am a woman, but sixteen years ago, my parents and brothers were killed in Liaobei, and only me and my aunt were left in the entire Xie family, I am 20 years old, what's wrong with wanting to become a biological baby? ”

"Besides, you are so old, you must be full of children and grandchildren, so you can't eat enough by yourself, and you will smash other people's jobs! Isn't it ......."

Xie Yangui said, kneeling on the ground slightly in the direction of the old minister.

"I heard that you and Mrs. Zun are blind and dumb married, and over the years there has been a lot of trouble in the house because of the lack of harmony, I don't want to be like you. So I want to take a good look at each other, what's wrong? Isn't it because you're drenched in the rain yourself, and you always want to tear up other people's umbrellas? ”

"The goose returns!" The more she spoke, the more outrageous it became, and the old minister was so angry with her that he was about to faint, and Emperor Mingde had to stop it.

When Xie Yangui heard the voice of the head, he immediately knelt down and returned to his original position, looking like he was waiting for the hair to fall.

Emperor Mingde's gaze fell on the holy decree in her hand, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke again, "Yan Gui, your aunt is my concubine, and your marriage should belong to a family matter, since you have just returned, let's go see your aunt first, as for your marriage...... We'll talk about that later. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The steps were paved to the feet, Xie Yangui also understood what it meant to accept when she saw it, she put away the holy decree, kowtowed to Emperor Mingde, got up and retreated outside the hall.

Coming out of the hall, Xie Yangui raised his hand to hold his long hair that was tied up, shook it gently, and strode towards the bottom of the steps.

The tail of her hair fluttered behind her head, a little too naughty, floating on her face, she reached out and brushed it away, and under her eyebrows, a pair of phoenix eyes smiled.

At the foot of the steps, a small yellow door led a horse waiting for her, Xie Yangui took out a silver leaf from the cuff, took the reins and threw the silver leaf into the arms of the little yellow door, "I'm sorry for you, take it to drink tea!" ”

"Thank you, General, for the reward." The little yellow door behind her saluted gratefully, and she waved her hand casually and led the horse away.

On the palace road, the palace people who passed by would stop and salute her when they saw Xie Yangui.

She led the horse slowly, like a walk, and couldn't help exhaling in her heart, which could be regarded as rejecting the marriage.

Emperor Mingde wanted her to get married, nothing more than to ask for the military power of Liaobei in her hands. But if she marries the Seventh Prince, then her guard Ling Yuwei will definitely not be able to keep it.

It doesn't hurt to hand over the military power, Liaobei is not her alone, and this master will also do it to others.

But Ling Yuwei is the hard work of the Xie family for several generations, and she has to guard it.

As she walked, she looked at the Dajing Palace, which was no longer extravagant.

So far, the founding of Dajing has only been a few decades, from the beginning of the establishment, the first prince has spoken to Emperor Taizu, asking the court to be benevolent, so that the people can recuperate.

In recent years, although there have been foreign enemies eyeing each other, fortunately, the wind and rain have been smooth in Dajing, and the life of the people has gradually improved.

After Emperor Mingde ascended the throne, he advocated frugality with officials in the palace, and everything in the palace is left over from the previous dynasty.

There is no queen in the middle palace, and Emperor Mingde does not have many concubines, so most of the affairs in the harem are handled by the concubine Xie Cheng, who is quite favored by him.

At this time, in the Qifeng Palace, the palace people were busy in an orderly manner, and not long after Xie Yan returned to the palace, Xie Yan got the news here.

She ordered someone to move a beauty chair and sit under the porch, and a palace maid fanned beside her, and looked towards the palace gate with her from time to time.

"Niangniang, the eldest lady has arrived!" The little yellow door with sharp legs and feet trotted in from outside the palace and rushed back to Xie Xi.

"Let's see if the hot water is ready?" With a command, Xie Cheng got up from the beauty chair and combed her hair between her sideburns, but there were thousands of styles in her dignity, charming but not demonic.

The Xie family has always been a beauty, and she is the only girl in Xie Xie's generation, and when she was not out of the cabinet, the people who asked for marriage almost broke the threshold of the Xie family.

Even if she came to the palace again, there are still few people who can compare to her demeanor over the years, Xie Yangui looks like an aunt, but there is more heroism between her eyebrows and eyes.

In the past, the Xie family and his wife were fighting outside, and Xie Yangui had been taken care of by her, and after the Xie family died in battle, it was Xie Yan who took care of Xie Yangui and grew up.

Although the two are aunts and nephews, they are better than mother and daughter.

"Auntie! I'm back! "Before the person entered the Qifeng Palace, the voice arrived first.

Xie Ji raised her eyes and looked, a red figure floated into Qifeng Palace like the wind, and when she saw her standing under the corridor, she opened her hand and threw herself into her arms like a milk swallow, "Auntie, I miss you so much!" ”

"Just your sweet mouth, let my aunt see if you're okay?" The gentle voice like water came, and Xie Yan patted Xie Yangui's back, with a genuine smile in her eyes.

"Auntie, don't worry, I'm fine, I'm still growing!" Xie Yan is tall, and Xie Yangui is even taller than her.

In order to make it easier for Xie Yan to take a look, Xie Yangui deliberately took a few steps back, turning left and right.

"It's a lot longer." Seeing that everything was fine with her, Xie Ji relieved herself, "I asked people to prepare hot water, you go take a shower and change your clothes, and I will go to the small kitchen to cook you some of your favorite food." ”

"Yes." Xie Yangui grinned and went to bathe and change clothes with the palace maid.

Xie Yan stood in place, looking at Xie Yangui's back, and the real smile on her face deepened.

It's time to get married, and it's still so naughty.

"Niangniang, the small kitchen is ready, since the eldest lady is back, do you want to send someone to invite Your Majesty?" The little palace maid beside her saluted and asked her opinion.

She turned and walked towards the kitchenette, her sleeves rolled up slowly, her eyes drooping so lightly that it was impossible to see the emotion in her eyes.

The little palace maid followed her and listened to her faintly speak: "Send some of the snacks I made in the morning to Your Majesty in a food box, and say that our aunt and nephew want to say something considerate, please come back another day." ”

In the side hall, Xie Yangui was served and bathed by the palace maids.

The palace is different from Liaobei, when in Liaobei, even if Xie Yangui rubs again, the time for a stick of incense is enough.

But in the palace, it was normal to wash for half an hour, and she couldn't help but be curious when she heard people constantly coming in and out outside the screen.

"The eldest lady didn't know that after the Xue family's incident, the concubine was so angry that she said that the Xue family had no eyes. After that, he instructed us to find out all the materials that have been stored for you for nearly a year, cut clothes, and make a lot of jewelry, just waiting for you to come back! No, they've all moved here now. ”

The little palace maid combed Xie Yangui's long hair and responded to her doubts.

After combing her long hair, she took a soft cloth towel, wiped the water droplets at the ends of her hair, and continued to speak casually: "I heard that a few days ago, His Royal Highness and His Third Highness still wanted to be a matchmaker for the eldest lady!" ”
