The news that Chu Yan sent someone to throw Mu Xue'e out of Anhua Palace and asked Chunjun to go to Cheng'en Gong to talk to him, although it did not spread in the palace, it inevitably reached the ears of the Queen Mother and the Empress.

The Queen Mother laughed happily.

"Liulang, this kid, is really like his father, there is no room for sand in his eyes, Mu Xue'e is also used to being unaccustomed to her father, it is time to teach a lesson, otherwise if she continues to mess around like this, she may cause a big disaster in the future."

"The county lord of Bingqing is protected by you and the queen, even if he is arrogant, what trouble can he cause." Mother Gui said with a smile.

The Queen Mother snorted dissatisfiedly, "Back then, the mourning family was young, the mother died early, the father was out with the ancestor on the battlefield, and the stepmother was unkind and treated the mourning ......family harshly."

"The mourning family was taken back to the Dou family by his uncle to raise, the Mu family is only born in the mourning family, and there is not much affection, if it is not for the late old Chengengong, he can be regarded as a reasonable person, plus Hui Rong's temperament is quiet and filial, and the mourning family will not be close to the Mu family."

"Huai'an grew up watching the mourning family, and he knows better than his old man's head, as for the son and daughter born by the Zhou family, the mourning family has never been optimistic. Xue'e's girl didn't have a princess's life, and she had a princess's illness, and the Mu family wanted to send her to the palace, which was simply big-hearted. ”

Mother Gui has served in the palace for so many years, and she understands what the Queen Mother means.

As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and it has been ruthless since ancient times.

This harem is not a comfortable haven.

Mother Gui sighed: "But since Niangniang wants Miss Shen to marry His Royal Highness, how can she blindly protect her." His Royal Highness is going to ascend the throne as the emperor in the future, how can there be only one woman in this harem. It's that the first emperor didn't delay beauty back then, aren't there so many concubines in this harem? Miss Shen should also adapt to this kind of life in advance. ”

Hearing her say this, the Queen Mother also sighed.

"You're right, since ancient times, emperors can't help themselves, how can the emperor and courtiers give up, they must think that if you want the court to be peaceful, you should stuff more women in the harem, hehe......"

Mother Gui: "Niangniang, you don't have to worry too much, our imperial grandson is not an ordinary person, he has always been assertive, those people want to stuff women in his backyard, and they have to ask him if he is willing." Don't forget, the life of the imperial grandson, except for the Lingxi girl, I don't think there is any woman who has the ability to dare to approach the imperial grandson. ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she was also happy.

"Yes, why didn't the mourning family think of it. Besides, they want to stuff people to Rokuro, and it depends on whether Rokuro is willing or not. I see that Liulang is only happy with the spirit of the rhino girl, and the other girls, he can't get into the eyes. ”

Saying that, the Queen Mother hurriedly opened Luo, "Hurry up, go and let Xiaodouzi talk to the queen, arrange the Lingxi girl into Yuxiu Palace, and let the Lingxi girl see, although the mourning family wants her to be with Liulang, they don't want her to be confused, so they enter the deep palace." Rokuro also has to know that if he really likes this girl, he must have the ability to protect her. ”

Gui's mother responded in a low voice and arranged to go.

At the same time, Aunt Liu, the head of the queen's house, also brought the Duchess of Cheng'en to Zhou, and told the queen about Chu Yan's throwing and telling people to warn Chengengong.

The queen copied the Buddhist scriptures in her hand, and her eyes were not raised, "In that case, what do the eldest brother and sister-in-law say?" If Xue'e wins Liulang's favor, in the palace in the future, Liulang will protect her. But if Liulang didn't mean that, Xue'e had to force it, Liulang's character has never been swayed by others, and in the end, getting married became a feud, and the Chengen Mansion couldn't get any benefits. ”

Because of participating in the mausoleum festival, Mrs. Zhou was dressed up and was rarely a lot more plain, but the smile on her face did not decrease by half.

"Grandpa said that His Royal Highness has always been moody and angry, and he has never done anything to a woman when he is so big. No one threw it, but let people throw Xue'e, and Baba asked someone to run to him and say, this means that Xue'e must be different in His Highness's heart......"

"Therefore, the grandfather and the concubines all feel that since the Queen Mother and the mother are optimistic about Her Royal Highness and Xue'e, and Xue'e likes His Highness, she has to try again no matter what."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhou paused: "Xue'e, this girl, is a little more temperamental, drive Ming'er's concubine to send a more stable mother to her, and never let Xue'e have another accident, you can rest assured." ”

When the queen heard her say this, the corners of her lips hooked, and she didn't say anything more.

When Mrs. Zhou left, she received the Queen Mother's words that Xiaodouzi would bring her, so she instructed Aunt Liu: "You go to Yuxiu Palace to arrange it in person, that Shen Lingxi is the person that the Queen Mother likes, don't slack off." ”

*

Since the queen bothered to let the nobles live in the palace, she naturally had to go through the motions in front of the emperor.

Therefore, after the emperor went to court, the queen personally held a banquet in the palace and invited the officials and family members who accompanied the car to dine in the palace.

Because there were very few disciples of the family who accompanied her this time, and in order to make it easier for Chu Yan and those nobles to look at each other, the queen specially arranged the seats on both sides according to the left and right of men and women, without a screen separating them.

So, everyone saw that on the women's seat directly opposite Chu Yan, there was Mu Xue'e, the county lord of Bingqing.

On the left side of Mu Xue'e, there are Xu Ziyao, the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, and Li Yuejiao, the daughter of the Marquis of Yiyang.

Xu Ziyao focused on the palace banquet in front of him and ate with relish.

Li Yuejiao always lowered her head and covered her face with a handkerchief from time to time, as if she didn't want to attract too much attention.

can be gestured, but it seems very deliberate.

Mu Xue'e looked at her like this, and her eyes were full of disdain.

As for the other nobles, they were cautious to keep them far away, and did not dare to come forward.

Everyone has a bottom in their hearts about such a seating ranking.

Especially the position of the county lord of Bingqing, everyone present sighed that this county lord of Bingqing is the candidate for the crown princess.

When the imperial grandson really marries the county lord of Bingqing, the Chengen Mansion will be able to be prosperous for several more decades.

On the scene, everyone paid too much attention to those noble girls, so much so that they all ignored that beside Chu Yan, there was also a Kun Dao wearing a cyan robe.

Shen Lingxi felt that she was really not suitable for this kind of occasion, let alone sitting beside the imperial grandson.

It's just that Mu Xue'e frequently throws her gaze, if her gaze can kill, I'm afraid she will be full of holes at this time.

It's just that the person concerned, Chu Yan, didn't notice anything unusual at all.

From beginning to end, his eyes never glanced at the other side, but he just put all his thoughts on picking vegetables for Shen Lingxi.

Since that time in Heming Tower, Shen Lingxi did not refuse him to pick up vegetables, and later, whenever the two of them ate together, Chu Yan would make a casual appearance, and give her vegetables from time to time.

So much so that Shen Lingxi felt that His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson probably had a "special hobby" of picking up vegetables for others, so he went with him.

However, she herself felt so, and the female ghosts who surrounded the two of them didn't.

"Oh, Xiao Langjun is so considerate, he will pick up vegetables for the little girl, he didn't even look at the other side, and I don't know how many girls should be sad this time."

"If Xiao Langjun is from an ordinary family, how good it should be, he can be a couple for a lifetime, and grow old."

"Yes, it's a pity that he was born in the emperor's family, even if he only loves the little girl, he will be the emperor in the future, how many ministers have sharpened their heads to send their daughters to the harem, God pity you, aren't we all living examples."

"Hey, don't freak out the little girl, anyway, there is wine today and drunk today, Xiao Langjun has a good appearance, a good figure, and has fun in time...... As long as you don't enter the palace, it's fine. ”

Shen Lingxi listened to their words, his eyebrows jumping.

If they hadn't reminded her, she would have almost forgotten, and there was still the "harem" thing.

Thinking about her scumbag father at the beginning, the harem beauties are three thousand...... More than that, in order to avoid the bad things in the harem, the queen mother established the medicine palace single-handedly and became the company of medicine.

As the only child of the queen mother, she has also grown up in the medicine palace since she was born.

Throughout his life, he wasted time in the deep palace until he died.

It wasn't a good memory.

Shen Lingxi thought about it at this moment, if he really agreed to "play" with Chu Yan, pretend to marry him, and help him avoid the emperor's marriage.

Then does she have to send herself into the deep palace again?

As soon as he thought of this, Shen Lingxi instantly felt that the food in front of him was not fragrant.

She quietly put down her chopsticks and slightly distanced herself from Chu Yan.

We have to think again.

Chu Yan's attention kept falling on Shen Lingxi's body, and seeing this, he turned sideways towards her and asked in a low voice, "Are you uncomfortable?" ”

"No, just a little sleepy." Shen Lingxi said vaguely.

Chu Yan put down the chopsticks in his hand, "I'll take you back." ”

As he spoke, he stood up-——

Shen Lingxi hurriedly reached out and grabbed his sleeve, "I'm not sleepy again, let's wait for the banquet to end before leaving." ”

Leaving the table together at this time is simply too conspicuous.

Chu Yanfeng's eyes were slightly raised, but he didn't say anything, he sat back again, simply picked up the tea cup in front of him, lowered his eyes and drank the tea.

The two of you come and go, although it's not big.

But it also fell on the banquet, in the eyes of many people with hearts.

The emperor was originally here to see Chu Yan looking at the woman, so he never took his eyes off Chu Yan.

He bore the brunt of the problem, and found that Chu Yan was more "meaningful" to the Miao Ling Dao Elders around him than to those noble girls.

This discovery surprised the emperor a little.

The Queen Mother was relieved when she saw the intimate appearance of the two. But when she thought of today's conversation with Gui's mother, there was a faint sadness in her eyes.

Although the queen saw that there was some extraordinary relationship between Chu Yan and Shen Lingxi, she was more concerned about her nephew Mu Huai'an.

Mu Huai'an's gaze always fell on the two of them, with a hint of bitterness in his expression.

Everyone traveled all the way, and because they were going to the mausoleum, the whole banquet only arranged for the priest to dance a few sacrificial dances, and after everyone had dinner, the queen dispersed the banquet.

Chu Yan originally wanted to take Shen Lingxi back to Anhua Palace, but after the banquet was dismissed, he was called to the study by Gonggong Zhu, who was next to the emperor.

Shen Lingxi returned to Anhua Palace, thinking about what the female ghosts had said to her before, and was planning to wait for Chu Yan to come back and then talk to him in detail-

didn't wait for Chu Yan to return to the palace, but waited for Aunt Liu, who was next to the queen, to take her to Yuxiu Palace in person.

"The Queen Mother said that it was inconvenient for the girl to live in Anhua Palace, so she specially instructed the Queen Mother to arrange a wing room for the girl in Yuxiu Palace, and asked the girl to go with the slave."

Shen Lingxi responded with a smile, greeted the steward and eunuch of Anhua Palace, and went with Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu was very polite to Shen Lingxi because of the queen's orders, and along the way, she told Shen Lingxi about the situation in Yuxiu Palace.

At the end, she said: "In this Yuxiu Palace, the only one who is not very good-tempered is the county lord of Bingqing, she is the niece of the queen mother, and the niece of the queen mother. ”

Shen Lingxi thought of the scene where Mu Xue'e was thrown out of Anhua Palace today, smiled, and should come down.

As soon as the two of them entered the palace gate of Yuxiu Palace, they heard a cry coming from the corner room.

"County lord, please stop fighting, my girl is weak, if she fights again, she will die, county lord, please spare our girl."

"You two foxes and slaves, you don't know how thick the sky is. It's not easy to go out, and you just want to hook up with men, so I have to let you learn a lesson today. Hit, hit the county lord hard! ”

Aunt Liu couldn't hide her surprise in her eyes, glanced at Shen Lingxi, hurriedly bowed, and hurriedly walked towards the wing.

They were accompanied by the master and servant who came out of the other room.

Shen Lingxi raised his eyes and looked, it was a coincidence.

It's none other than Xu Ziyao.

Xu Ziyao didn't expect to see Shen Lingxi in this Yuxiu Palace, she was stunned for a moment, blessed Shen Lingxi, and followed behind Aunt Liu.

The door of the wing room was wide open, and I saw three noble girls and a few maids, surrounding a pair of master and servants kneeling on the ground.

One of them, a round-faced maid, holding a rattan wrapped in cloth in his hand, "snapped" at the pair of master and servant.

The maid was ruthless and accurate, avoiding conspicuous places such as her head, face and arms, and focusing on her thighs, waist, abdomen, and back.

Using such a murder weapon to hit such a place, not only can no blood marks be seen in a conspicuous place, but it can also make people feel painful, which shows that he is a skilled hand.

The little maid who was beaten was also loyal, and kept standing in front of the woman on the ground, blocking a lot of rattan for her.

But even so, the corners of the woman's lips were already oozing blood.

The woman's facial features were supposed to be very beautiful, but for some reason, the two eyebrows were drawn crookedly, destroying the beauty of the facial features.

Shen Lingxi recognized at a glance that the woman who was beaten was Li Yuejiao.

Among the noble girls who beat people, the leader was Mu Xue'e, the lord of Bingqing County.

"County Lord, this can't be helped."

Aunt Liu rushed into the room and said to Mu Xue'e: "County Lord, this is the palace, the emperor values the Marquis of Yiyang the most, if the emperor knows that you treat Miss Li like this, he will be angry." ”

"It's this fox who beat her, and my aunt knows that she just went to the Zhaode Hall with the maid to be sneaky near the study, and deliberately let the maid lose a handkerchief outside the study."

Mu Xue'e's delicate face was full of disdain, "She just wants to use her little bit of grace to seduce His Highness." is so shameless, even if the emperor's uncle knows, he will only praise me for eliminating harm for the people, hum, beat, continue to beat the county lord hard! ”

When Aunt Liu heard this, there was an instant hesitation on her face, and she was worried about Mu Xue'e's identity, so she didn't stop it anymore.

Shen Lingxi watched coldly, frowning deeply.

Whatever the reason, she has never been accustomed to such bullying.

Shen Lingxi's feet moved slightly, and he stepped forward directly.

Reaching out and about to grab the wrist of the round-faced maid, she saw a figure flash next to her very quickly, flew up, and kicked the round-faced maid out!
