"Ah Lan and Xiao Xu?" Empress Zhu frowned and muttered, "What are you doing by calling them here?" ”

Mama Chang squatted beside her and whispered, "Niangniang may have forgotten that Yongcheng Hou Shizi has always been the person of the Four Princes, since he has stood in line, how can the family behind him not follow?" ”

"Mrs. Yongcheng Hou is smart and has a lot of ideas in her head, and now she has an idea in her heart, why not summon her into the palace so that she can make plans for her mother?"

Mama Chang lowered her voice and said in a low voice, "Mrs. Lan and Mrs. Yongcheng Hou are compatriots of the same mother, and she is commensurate with the queen's mother, and if you think about it, she can be regarded as our person." ”

Queen Zhu lowered her eyebrows, thinking about Mama Chang's words in her heart, and after a while, she said softly, "Call them into the palace immediately." ”

"Yes."

Qile Palace

"Mother, are you looking for me?"

Yuan Mi was wearing a pale pink palace dress, which made her more and more delicate, and she only had a white hosta pinned to her head, so elegant, it was not like her previous style.

"Mi'er." Xiao Guifei sat on the couch, forced a smile, and beckoned to Yuan Mi, "Come to the side of the concubine." ”

Xiao Guifei's smile was far-fetched, and the corners of her eyes were flushed, and she cried at a glance.

Yuan Mi's heart ached, she hid her emotions and walked towards her.

Xiao Guifei looked at the villain who walked towards her, who was the daughter she loved in every way on the tip of her heart, and for a while, her eyes were a little sore.

Xiao Guifei took Yuan Mi's little hand, lowered her eyelids, hid the emotions in her eyes, and said with a smile, "My son has grown up and is a big girl......

Yuan Mi lowered her eyes and looked at her, a trace of unbearability flashed in her eyes, and she said softly, "Mother, do you have anything to say to your son?" ”

Xiao Guifei took her hand for a moment, her expression was a little inexplicable, she forced a smile, and said leisurely, "There is no side to ...... It's just that the mother concubine has found a good family for you...... You'll love it! ”

Yuan Mi's fingertips shrank, and she looked at Xiao Guifei with some surprise, and then hooked the corners of her lips and looked at her with a smile, "Who did the mother concubine find for her sons to be the concubine?" ”

Xiao Guifei's eyes dodged, pulled her to sit on the couch, and patted the back of her hand gently, "You don't have to worry about this, you just need to understand that the concubine won't harm you." ”

Yuan Mi lowered her head slightly, laughed at herself, and said lightly, "What the mother concubine said will not harm her son, is it to send her son to the barbarian land of the Turks?" ”

When Xiao Guifei heard this, her body froze in place, and shock flashed in her eyes, "Mi'er... You ......"

"The concubine wonders why the retainers know about this?" Yuan Mi raised her little face, her eyes were filled with tears, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was extremely bitter.

Xiao Guifei's face flashed with panic, and her breathing became a little heavier, "Mi'er, this matter ......"

"This matter is what my father said, it is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and it is the responsibility of the son as a princess."

Yuan Mi looked at her leisurely and smiled a little deeper, "But the concubine wants to say this?" ”

Xiao Guifei's heart ached, and her eyes met her daughter's, but she couldn't say a word.

"Mother." Yuan Mihui held her hand and comforted her with a smile, "Erchen once heard the grandmother in the palace talk in private, you were pregnant that year, so you looked forward to the birth of a boy in your womb, and when Erchen was born, you learned that it was a princess, and secretly cried for several days. ”

Xiao Guifei's face was pale, and she turned her head sideways, not daring to look directly into her eyes.

"However, since the son-in-law can remember, I know that the mother concubine is the best person in the world for the son-in-law, if the mother concubine gave birth to a prince, I am afraid that the position of the imperial concubine would have fallen on you a long time ago, speaking of which, it is the son-in-law who delayed you."

Yuan Mi's words were like a dagger, repeatedly piercing into Xiao Guifei's heart, and every word was more heart-wrenching.

"No... Mi'er ......" Xiao Guifei bit her lower lip, tears slid down, pulling the corner of Yuan Mi's clothes, like a helpless child, "It's not like this......"

Yuan Mi smiled between her eyebrows, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and said softly, "Mother, if the sons obey the order this time, can you exchange a future for you and your grandfather?" ”

Xiao Guifei looked at her, her tears were like beads with broken threads, rolling down, "Mi'er, the mother concubine doesn't want to do this." ”

Yuan Mi chuckled and comforted her in turn, "Erchen understands that the mother concubine also has a last resort. ”

After the words fell, Yuan Mi broke away from her hand, slowly got up, knelt in front of her, made a big salute, and said in a low voice, "The son is not filial, and he can't serve by the side of the concubine in the future, and the next life will ...... I only wish not to be reborn in the emperor's family. ”

"The sons are far away, and I hope that the mother and concubine will cherish it."

After that, Yuan Mi got up mercilessly, turned his head and left, and in the huge main hall, only Xiao Guifei was left.

"Mi'er! Mi'er! Xiao Guifei wanted to get up and chase after her, but her legs lost strength and fell to the ground.

"Concubine Niangniang!" Yu Bai exclaimed, hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and said in a low voice of relief, "Don't worry, the slave will go to chase the ninth princess......"

"It's useless," Xiao Guifei covered her heart and burst into tears, "This kid hates me." ”

Yu Bai helped her up and whispered, "Niangniang is also for the Xiao family......"

"But that's my child!" Concubine Xiao Guifei was out of breath crying, her eyes fell on the courtyard door, and she seemed to be able to see Yuan Mi's resolute back, "What is the difference between Mi'er's dedication to me and my dedication to the Xiao family?" ”

"Mi'er's life shouldn't be like this......" Xiao Guifei's face was a little dazed, and she muttered, "Mi'er shouldn't follow my old path." ”

"The concubine is cautious!" Yu Bai looked panicked and whispered.

"What am I going to do for Mi'er...... Mi'er...... Empress! Xiao Guifei wiped the tears from her face, she had already collapsed now, pushed Yu Bai away hard, ran out crazy, and shouted, "I want to see the queen!" ”

"Concubine Niangniang!" Yu Bai fell to the ground, hurriedly got up and chased her, and the two ran out of the yard one after the other.

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart

"Your Majesty." Zhang De walked into the hall in small steps, looked at the man on the throne, and said in a low voice, "The ninth princess is here." ”

"Xiao Jiu?" The emperor shook the pen for a moment, and his face was a little suspicious, "What is she doing?" ”

Zhang De shook his head and said in a thin voice, "The slave doesn't know." ”

When the emperor heard this, he recalled the matter of harmony, and said lightly, "Do you see that she is unhappy on her face?" ”

Zhang De thought for a moment and shook his head again, "The princess has no displeasure on her face, she is very peaceful." ”

The emperor hummed softly, continued to criticize the recital in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Let her in." ”

"Yes."

Zhang De retreated, and after a while, Yuan Mi's figure stepped into the main hall.

Yuan Mi came closer before kneeling down slowly, there was no trace of discoloration on his face, and he was in good order, "Erchen has seen his father." ”

"Get up." The emperor put down the pen, and there was a hint of a smile in his voice, "I have leisure today, do you know that I have come to see my father?" ”

Yuan Mi hung his head slightly, never looking at him, "Erchen ordered the small kitchen of Qile Palace to stew shrimp and fish belly soup, and presented it to his father to warm his body." ”

The emperor looked at the soup brought by Qiu Yu, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, very pleased, "Xiao Jiu has really grown up and knows filial piety." ”

Having said that, when Zhang De took out the silver needle and wanted to test the poison, he did not say anything to stop it. (End of chapter)
