Zhenbei Hou Mansion.

Mrs. Zhou, the Hou of Zhenbei, was talking to the old lady of Zhenbei Hou in the backyard.

"I don't know what happened to Guiyi in Lingyang Palace? At this time, no one dares to climb the gate of the Lingyang Palace......"

Especially the military generals, no one dared to do even a little bit of suspicious behavior at this time.

Old Madam Shen was full of silver hair and looked very kind, but she could still catch a glimpse of wisdom in her tired eyes.

She said, "You don't have to worry too much, Guiyi has been closed in the house for so many years, and now he can be with Ah Ci, isn't it a good thing?" ”

Over the years, although Shen Guiyi has never shown any irritability or impatience, everyone knows that he also longs for the outside world, but once he fell into the quagmire as the pride of the sky, he no longer had the courage to go to the street.

"Mother is right, my daughter-in-law has not seen him for many days, and I don't know if I will take good care of him at the right time......"

Although Shen Guiyi said that he wanted to stay in the Lingyang Royal Mansion to see his leg disease, it was obvious that his grandmother and his mother did not think that he could take good care of his leg disease in the Lingyang Palace.

After all, over the years, they have also seen a lot of doctors.

"Don't worry about him, I heard that the son of the Jiangnan Song family is also in the Lingyang Palace, and there is finally someone in Guiyi who can speak."

It's also good for peers to talk more together, thinking of this, Old Madam Shen said again: "I heard that my old sister is a little unwell, you will keep a diary and ask people to prepare some gifts to follow me to Jinyang Palace." ”

Mrs. Shen and the old princess of Jinyang are close friends of the boudoir, the Shen family has declined, although there are many old friends to take care of them over the years, but only the Jinyang Mansion protects the Zhenbei Hou Mansion on the surface.

Zhou Danfan went to the banquet, and the old princess of Jinyang always affectionately pulled her to talk for a long time, but in fact, she wanted others to see clearly that no matter how bad the Shen family was, they were also covered by the Jinyang Palace.

"Is the old princess feeling unwell again?"

"When she is old, she is as noble as her, and she enjoys all the glory of her life, but when she is old...... Her illness is all under the watchful eye of the hospital, you can just prepare some ordinary tonics. ”

"Yes, my daughter-in-law remembers."

Suddenly, Zhou remembered something, and said: "At the banquet a few days ago, my daughter-in-law heard that Song Gongzi and the Song family were not on good terms, so she hid in Lingyang Wangfu to recuperate. ”

At that time, when a lady talked about this, Mrs. Song's face almost couldn't hold it.

Old Madam Shen chuckled, "His Song family is prosperous, has many heirs, and the big family is the most advantageous, avoiding disadvantages, knowing how to make trade-offs, and how can he put all his energy on a sick child?" ”

Zhou lowered his eyes, as if he felt a little guilty, "If my daughter-in-law could take two concubines for Hou Ye back then, our Hou Mansion would not be so deserted." ”

If his son could have a brother to help him, even if it was a concubine, she would have no complaints.

Old Madam Shen looked at her and said, "What kind of stupid thing are you talking about, you have been in charge of the Houfu for so many years, and you have raised Fang'er's children as your own, you have done enough for my Houfu." ”

Even if she was willing to take a concubine for her husband back then, how could she bear her with her son's temperament?

Zhou's eyes reddened slightly when he heard this, and at this moment, a gentle girl came in from outside, and she held a tray in her hand, on which were freshly hatched pastries, exuding bursts of aroma.

"Grandmother, how about you try my new osmanthus cake?"

Zhou raised his head with a smile on his face, and said with a sneer: "Why did you go to the kitchen again?" It's not that you can just say this, you can do it, you have your own cooks to get busy, you look at the ashes on your face, how can you look like Miss Houfu......"

She skillfully took out the veil, and the girl bent over cooperatively, letting her wipe her face, if people who didn't know saw this scene, they would think that the two were mother and son.

In fact, Shen Xiyue's father was a concubine, who died in a battle shortly after she was born, and her mother had just given birth to her, who was already frail, and suddenly heard the bad news, so she went with her father soon.

Mrs. Zhenbei Hou kept her by her side and treated her as her own, only in the old lady's yard in the year when Shen Guiyi had an accident.

Later, the Zhou family was afraid that Mrs. Shen would be tired, so they took Shen Xiyue back to their yard.

Old Madam Shen smiled and looked at the intimacy between the two, although Shen Xiyue is not her bloodline, she has been well-behaved since she was a child, and she is very likable.

"Sit down and eat."

Shen Xiyue took the pastry and handed it to Mrs. Shen, "Grandmother eats first." ”

Old Madam Shen tasted a piece, and Shen Xiyue brought the pastry to Mrs. Zhenbei Hou, "Auntie." ”

The three of them were sitting in the hall eating pastries, talking about homely things, and suddenly, someone stumbled in from outside, and the person was sweating profusely and panting.

Zhou's face turned cold, "Why are you so flustered?" Surprise Mother to take care of your flesh. She rarely speaks harshly, and the old lady of Zhenbei is old and can't stand the big mood swings.

The man pointed in the direction of the gate, "World...... Shizi ...... It's back. ”

"Come back, come back, just say it."

The man gasped twice, as if he was afraid of scaring the three of them, and said softly: "The prince walked back by himself." ”

Walked back on your own?

There was silence in the hall.

Zhou seemed to be frozen by this sentence, and walked back by himself!? Her son walked back on his own?

Suddenly, her eyes were filled with a layer of water, and she was in a trance, but this scene today was in a dream? Otherwise, how could the next person report that her son came back on foot?

Seeing that her daughter-in-law and granddaughter were in a trance, the old lady of Zhenbei Hou raised her eyes to look at the next person, her eyes were sharp, "You said Guiyi came back on foot?" Do you know what happened to my wife? ”

The man hurriedly knelt on the ground, "It's true! I saw with my own eyes that Shizi's leg was healed, and when I accompanied him, I was about to go into the backyard......"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a faint noise from the front, mixed with excited voices.

Old Madam Shen's heart was beating, but her face was still steady, and she patted the back of Shen Xiyue's hand, "Guiyi is back, you go...... You're going to meet your brother......"

Shen Xiyue finally reacted, but she was stunned when she caught a glimpse of the tears in her grandmother's eyes, she had heard the bad news from her uncle back then, and she had never seen a tear on her grandmother's face.

"Go ......," Old Madam Shen's voice trembled faintly.

"Good! I'll go...... Grandmother, don't worry......"

After Shen Xiyue finished speaking, she hurriedly turned around and ran out regardless of her image, although she likes to make some pastries from time to time to make her elders happy, but under the teaching of Zhenbei Hou Zhou, she has become a noble girl in every word and deed.

At this time, the people in the backyard were surprised to see her running forward with her skirt, what could make their young lady so anxious?

In the hall, Old Madam Shen patted Zhou's shoulder and softly called her name: "Qiuhua." ”

Zhou looked at her with tears in his eyes, his voice choked, "Mother......"

"Yes or no, we know it, and we're waiting for him here...... Come and say goodbye. ”
