The second aunt didn't want to leave along the path, but she bumped into Xiao Xirou who suddenly returned home, and the other party looked at her scared look and knew that she heard something she shouldn't have heard, so she glanced at the subordinate next to her, motioned her to the side to guard, and then came to the second aunt and said, "Why didn't my aunt salute when she saw this palace? This is a faux pas, this palace respects you as the aunt of the Guogong Mansion, so naturally you don't care, but let others see it, what should you say?"

Listening to her words, the second aunt finally came back to her senses, just now she was panicked because she broke Xiao Jianyuan's plan, and now she was even more overwhelmed when she saw Xiao Xirou, so she looked sluggish, and after calming down, she hurriedly saluted: "See the queen mother." I also hope that the queen will forgive her sins, and the concubine is only unwell for a while, so she naturally does not dare to slack off on this courtesy." Now she is still uneasy in her heart, afraid that Xiao Xirou will know that she has overheard something that should not be eavesdropped.

Xiao Xirou's eyes wandered over her body, but she didn't tear her down, but said, "Aunt is polite. How did my aunt get here? By the way, where is my father now? There are some things that this palace is looking for him, I don't know if my aunt is clear?" Her words were obviously asking knowingly, the purpose was to test and beat the second aunt, so that she knew what should be interfered in and what should not be involved.

The second aunt just wanted to answer her that Xiao Jianyuan was in the backyard, but she thought that her eavesdropping would be exposed, so she shook her head and pretended not to know and replied, "Back to the queen, the concubine doesn't know where the master is now? Why don't you ask the people in the house? Look, did the old man go out?" She pretended to ask the passers-by, but she didn't expect that her every move had been seen through by Xiao Xirou.

Xiao Xirou didn't want to entangle with it, so she said, "Don't bother your aunt, just go to the study and wait by yourself, then the palace won't bother your aunt." She already knew where Xiao Jianyuan was now, but with so many officials, she didn't want to expose herself with lipstick, so she chose to go to the study.

This also made the second aunt breathe a sigh of relief, glad that Xiao Xirou didn't ask herself, otherwise she would definitely not be able to bear the pressure to tell the truth.

"Congratulations to the Queen." After watching Xiao Xirou's figure leave, the second aunt also fled and left here.

When they arrived in their yard and found that Xiao Junrong was fighting garts in the yard, the second aunt was angry, and stepped forward to kick the bamboo cage containing gnats aside, and said hatefully, "I study these things all day long, if you are more motivated, can you go to the front yard to study now?" Am I still so low?" Thinking of her groveling to Xiao Xirou just now, the second aunt was unwilling.

After all, now Xiao Xirou's biological mother, that is, the eldest lady, has passed away, and it stands to reason that Xiao Jianyuan should straighten her out, but because of Xiao Xirou, she gave birth to a son to the Xiao family for so many years, and she has no power in the Guogong Mansion, but she has never had a name, she is just a concubine who is not in the stream.

This also made her extremely jealous of Xiao Xirou, and wanted to suppress him everywhere, but she didn't expect her son to be so uncompetitive, even if he was stupid from childhood to adulthood, he didn't want to make progress, and he had to get by with everything, which made Xiao Jianyuan dissatisfied, and even his reputation and status outside the country were not much better.

Xiao Junrong picked up the bamboo cage and carefully wiped it. Then he got up and pointed to the second aunt's nose and said unceremoniously, "What kind of east are you! I dare to kick my son's bamboo cage!" When he was a child, the second aunt told him every day that because he was the only male in the entire Guogong Mansion, he was domineering and didn't pay attention to anyone. didn't expect there to be one, he didn't even recognize his own mother. Thinking like this, the second aunt's heart was cold.

But she didn't allow Xiao Junrong to be disrespectful to herself, after all, when Xiao Junrong inherited Xiao Jianyuan's national mansion and official position in the future, her good days would come, and if she didn't control Xiao Junrong well, she would not be able to eat and walk away, so she said without showing weakness: "You want to go against the sky, don't you? I'm your mother, isn't it too unruly for you to talk to me like this? You let me in!" As she spoke, she dragged Xiao Junrong's clothes into the bedroom, and within a moment, Xiao Junrong's screams were heard inside, and the people below were already surprised. Others hurriedly closed the door of the courtyard. Deeply afraid of sound

It's embarrassing to spread it.

At this time, Xiao Xirou outside listened to the noise inside, and sneered at the subordinates next to her, "A concubine is a concubine after all, even if she climbs on a branch? A pheasant will always be a pheasant." I didn't expect the second aunt to be so dissatisfied with her identity, but she would still make her pay.

After all, who made her think differently about her when her father was taking care of her mother, and gave birth to the arrogant and domineering Xiao Junrong. For so many years, she has secretly monopolized the rights in the backyard, and she still doesn't know how to show off, which is naturally impossible for Song Qian to forgive.

After hearing what she was thinking with satisfaction, Xiao Xirou also left here with the people beside her.

After coming to Xiao Jianyuan's study, Xiao Xirou waited anxiously, if she couldn't wait to hear the good news brought by Xiao Jianyuan, otherwise Xiao Xirou would not have sneaked out of the palace so fearfully, and she would have to surrender her identity here and wait for Xiao Jianyuan.

At the same time, a backyard banquet.

Everyone was already full of wine and food, and they also knew the truth of eating people's mouths and taking people's hands short, so they agreed to Xiao Jianyuan's sake.

After getting these assurances, Xiao Jianyuan's face finally eased a lot, and now he was also exhausted, because he had drunk too much wine, so he came to the study drunk.

Smelling the smell of wine in the air, Xiao Xirou covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief in disgust, and said to Xiao Jianyuan, who was not very sober, "Father, how are things going? Was there any success? What do those people say? Whether they want to help the prince or not, then who knows? But don't let someone fall into the trap and cheat you."

The most important thing is that if the clues of this matter reach the palace, in the ears of the emperor, he and Ji Qirui will not be able to eat and leave.

At this time, Xiao Jianyuan was already delirious, and he didn't even recognize that the person who came from it was Xiao Xirou, and carefully looked at the composition and said, "Who are you? Why are you asking me this, I don't know anything, don't ask me."

Looking at his gray temples twice, Xiao Xirou swallowed back the words that she wanted to blame him for drinking and making mistakes, she didn't expect that at such an old age, he would still take such a pity on his body for his own affairs. So Xiao Xirou was stunned, and she didn't know what to say.

But soon Xiao Xirou disappeared this guilt, because she thought of the current situation between herself and Ji Qirui, and knew that if Xiao Jianyuan didn't help with this, she and Ji Qirui would only have a dead end, not to mention how they should be down, even the Xiao family would definitely be unable to escape the blame, and it would not be much better.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xirou felt no guilty, and asked directly, "Father, why did you drink so much wine? Tell me what happened at the banquet. Did those people agree, is this thing reliable?" Don't catch them off guard when something suddenly goes wrong.

Xiao Jianyuan sat on the chair, finally sobered up a lot, and after seeing clearly that the person who asked him the thank you question was Xiao Xirou, his hanging heart finally relaxed, and now he didn't have to worry about whether he would talk nonsense after drinking, so he told the Queen Mother everything at the banquet just now.

Hearing these words, Xiao Xirou's worried face finally eased a lot, and she said with a sigh of relief: "As long as those people are making trouble in the court now, no one will definitely care about the prince's affairs anymore, fortunately, this matter is not messed up, otherwise the palace and the prince will be punished by His Majesty." Thanks to Xiao Jianyuan, she knew that it would not be wrong to entrust this matter to Xiao Jianyuan.

After drinking a cup of strong tea, Xiao Jianyuan finally regained his senses, and completely recognized the figure in front of him, obviously not remembering what happened just now, so he asked, "What happened? What's going on?"

"It's nothing, father doesn't have to care." Xiao Xirou replied that now she just wants to go back quickly and tell Ji Qirui the good news, so that their worries during this time can finally be relaxed.

"I see." Xiao Jianyuan nodded suspiciously, and did not ask about this matter, after all, when he smelled the strong smell of alcohol on his body, he knew what he had just experienced, and he was a lot more relaxed when he thought that he had finally solved this matter.

Now Xiao Xirou doesn't have to question him every day.

Seeing Xiao Jianyuan's sluggish expression, Xiao Xirou diverted the topic and asked, "Father doesn't know if there is a suitable candidate for the crown princess? But don't be related by blood, preferably if you don't have a blood relationship within three generations." She still doesn't give up, she wants to find a crown princess for Ji Qirui who can help him sit in the emperor's position, but now that the queen mother is no longer reliable, she can only pin her hopes on Xiao Jianyuan, and after all, it was introduced by her father, Xiao Xirou can also rest assured.

Don't worry if someone will do anything in it. And choosing to be unrelated by blood can also prevent the emperor from doubting whether the crown princess is the surveillance arranged by the Xiao family next to Ji Qirui, so that he no longer doubts and blocks this matter, so that Xiao Xirou and they can logically win over the forces, and when the time comes to ascend the throne, it will be much smoother.

Xiao Jianyuan didn't expect that he had just helped her solve a trouble, and then another problem came, but this was obviously much easier than helping Ji Qirui win over the minister, but there were also troubles, after all, Xiao Xirou and Ji Qirui were both picky people, and if they were not satisfied, they would suffer in the end, so he shook his head and wanted to refuse, "I really can't be the master of this matter. After all, there are not many people who can deal with the prince's family, and I have old acquaintances with them, and some of them are even the original staff, if Your Majesty investigates, he will definitely be able to investigate these, and he will definitely suspect our purpose at that time."

Now, in order not to involve these two troubles, Xiao Jianyuan can only say it to the serious year.

Listening to these words, Xiao Xirou also felt that there was some truth, but she still didn't give up and said, "Although I said that, I still want to ask my father to help, after all, only my father can do this now."
