Empress Xiao said leisurely: "I don't dare to blame you, I only blame my old woman for having a miserable life and a nephew with an elbow turned out." ”

Xiao Rui smiled, stepped forward to hold Queen Xiao's arm, and said kindly: "As long as my aunt still recognizes Xiao Rui, this nephew, it's okay, if you want to beat or scold, you can greet at will, as long as you can get angry." ”

Empress Xiao pushed him away in disgust, "Go and go, you have a golden body, and you are weak, I can't afford to break you." Say, what's the matter? You kid is busy with military affairs all day long, and you can't think of me when you have nothing to do. ”

"But say it in advance, I don't have anything here, nothing you have on your mind."

Burst......

Heart-piercing!

Xiao Rui wanted to vomit blood, but it was indeed his own negligence, so he looked at his aunt guiltily, and didn't know how to speak for a while.

Princess Xiangcheng pulled her son forward and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't be angry with him, it's not that your husband doesn't want to come to visit you, but that I'm afraid that you will bring up the past when you see him, and then get angry." ”

As he spoke, he also motioned for his son to come forward and help say good things.

Xiao Ping'an, the little guy, was clever, smiled and grabbed Queen Xiao's hand, and begged coquettishly: "Auntie, don't blame Daddy, okay......"

Empress Xiao's heart softened, leaned over and hugged the little nephew, and said lovingly: "Okay, okay, our little peace has spoken, can my aunt not agree?" ”

"Okay, don't stand in the yard, let's go into the house."

Xiao Ping'an, who was in Queen Xiao's arms, made a grimace at his father Xiao Rui, "Hehe, daddy, I said yes to eat sugar gourds." ”

Oh? Sugar gourd? What sugar gourd? Empress Xiao asked curiously.

The child didn't think about it, and opened his mouth to tell the truth, "Just now outside, my father told me to ask me to help beg my aunt and grandmother not to be angry, and then my father bought me sugar gourds." ”

Hey, hey......

Xiao Rui tried his best to wink, but the little guy didn't look at it at all.

Empress Xiao looked back at Xiao Rui in a mocking tone: "Really?" ”

"Ahem, aunt......"

"Hmph, since you promised our family a little peace, then you should do what you say. Go buy sugar gourds now. ”

Yes?

I'm ......

Xiao Ruixin said, I didn't say anything serious......

Princess Xiangcheng hurriedly came over and pushed Xiao Rui out, "Since my aunt has spoken, my husband will hurry up and don't make my aunt unhappy." ”

Then he reminded in a low voice, "I'll tell my aunt." ”

Xiao Rui glanced at his son Xiao Ping'an, "Okay, then I'll go to the kitchen and make you a few sugar gourds." ”

Empress Xiao put down the child in her arms and rubbed the little guy's hair, "Xiao Ping'an, go and help your father, don't let him steal the family's sugar." ”

As soon as he heard the sugar, the little one's eyes were round, and he nodded and trotted after him.

Xiangcheng smiled and stepped forward to help Empress Xiao: "Auntie, this husband is really in trouble, otherwise I wouldn't dare to disturb your purity." ”

Empress Xiao smiled: "There are not many things that can stump him, and it needs an old man like me to come forward, and it has something to do with women?" ”

Xiangcheng helped the other party sit down, and then patiently talked while making tea, "I can't hide anything from you, the five surnames and seven hopes want to deal with the husband, and they may send one or two smart women in, the husband is afraid that I and Sister Yan'er will not be able to fight others, so I want to ask my aunt to come forward and watch the other party." ”

Empress Xiao raised her eyebrows, "Is that the daughter of the Cui family who just came?" Isn't she your future brother-in-law? Since it's not one heart, why do you want to get married? ”

Xiangcheng explained with a smile: "It's not that I haven't passed the door yet. At the beginning, the young couple was privately decided for life, and finally we made it clear to the other party to marry a daughter, but the Cui family is also conditional, if the imperial examination next year can defeat the five surnames and seven wangs, then they will marry the daughter openly, otherwise, let us snatch it. ”

Empress Xiao snorted coldly: "Phew! It's shameless, the prince of a country marries his relatives and robs it? This is clearly a deliberate attempt to make things difficult. ”

"Not really! If it was based on the temper of Fujun in the early years, he would have led people into Qinghe a long time ago. But the Cui family is very smart, and deliberately provoked the generals to say that the victory or defeat will be determined by the imperial examination, and they have calculated that Fu Junning will not bend or not, and they will definitely agree. Xiangcheng patiently explained.

Imperial Examination......

Recalling that back then, the imperial examination was still issued by her husband Emperor Daye, and her husband had been trying to bring down these gate valve families all his life, but unfortunately the imperial examination had just begun, and there were not many literate people in the world, so he couldn't see the fall of the gate valve family after all.

Empress Xiao put away her feelings and asked tentatively: "Is Zang Feng really sure to win next year?" ”

Xiangcheng nodded and said, "Not bad." My husband never does anything he is not sure of. If they weren't afraid of their husband's clever schemes, they wouldn't have hollowed out their minds and sent people into Xiaojiazhuang. ”

"The daughter of the Cui family may not be the point, but the Zheng family is blatant."

The Zheng family?

Xiangcheng explained: "Yes, the Zheng family wants to marry a daughter to Fang Yiai, and Fang Yiai is the husband's personal guard, like a brother, with the character of the husband, he must agree to let the beloved wife live here together." ”

Empress Xiao sneered: "It seems that it is really painstaking. The women who dare to be sent to play tricks with the champion Hou are not idle people, in a family, such women are rare, and they are really willing to do so. ”

"Yes, my husband said the same. I wanted to help my husband share his worries, but he said that we were not good at fighting people and had little experience. And aunt, you are old and serious, you have been in charge of the harem for many years, and you must be able to deal with a few little girls. "Xiangcheng has not forgotten to tout.

Empress Xiao laughed, "Okay, I look at your child, I don't have to be careful in front of my aunt, it's all a family, I eat and live by you, how can I watch you being calculated?" ”

Xiangcheng said gratefully: "Thank you, aunt." Actually, my husband has always felt guilty about you, so I don't dare to face ......"

Empress Xiao sighed: "At the beginning, he helped your father, and I was angry. But in fact, he knows from the bottom of his heart that he is only for state affairs and has no selfish intentions. Later, when he returned the repaired red jade pillow, I had forgiven him. It just didn't give him a good look. ”

"This child, stubborn, but kind-hearted, alas...... I have been haunted for all these years. Speaking of which, it's me, the aunt, who doesn't do it well. If he hadn't rescued him, I still don't know where I would have gone. Where is the blessing of enjoying old age in peace? ”

Seeing Empress Xiao wiping away tears and being sentimental, Xiangcheng hurriedly got up and comforted: "What did my aunt say?" It's all a family, we save you home, isn't that what we should do to honor you? As long as you don't dislike the bitterness here. ”

"My husband often said that if there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, it is a blessing for us juniors to be able to listen to the teachings of your aunt and you."

Empress Xiao burst into tears and laughed, and couldn't help but sneer: "Just your sweet mouth." ”

"In the future, you will give more of the things at hand to Yanran and Katsunan. When the Zheng family woman comes, you follow me, these intrigues in the harem, although they are dirty, but they have to be understood. ”

"Xiaojiazhuang is a paradise, maybe you don't need these, but you can't go out, you don't understand these people's treacherous hearts, you will suffer at best, and you will be fatal."

"Your mother is a kind-hearted person, and you have been born in the court since childhood, so you should have seen a lot and understood these things. Maybe your mother was reluctant, so she didn't teach you by hand. While my aunt and I still have a few years to live, you should study hard. Zang Feng has a big heart, but he can't take care of many things, and you have to take care of his family. ”

Xiangcheng knelt down on his knees gratefully, "Thank you aunt for your teachings, Xiangcheng remember." ”
