At the same time, in the inner garden of the palace, in the queen mother's bedroom, a delicate figure jumped in. The palace maids who saw her along the way all respectfully called "Her Royal Highness the Princess". It's Xuan Xi.

When the queen mother in the dormitory saw her, her brows, which were originally slightly wrinkled, suddenly relaxed, and the meaning of joy from the bottom of her heart surged into her eyes.

But the joy lasted only a moment, and then it was replaced by a deliberately gloomy color.

The Queen Mother's face also wrinkled a little.

"The son joins the queen mother!"

Xuan Xi came to the top of the main hall with a smile and bowed to the Queen Mother above the main hall, but seeing that the Queen Mother's face did not improve at all, her heart suddenly "chuckled".

I saw that the Queen Mother glanced at her lightly, her expression was slightly gloomy, but a faint smile appeared in her eyes, and she spoke, "Are you willing to come back?"

Hearing this, Xuan Xi's heart suddenly sank.

"It's been more than two months since I left, do you think you still have a little bit of the appearance of being our princess Daxuan?" The Queen Mother made a slight face, but with an extremely happy smile in her eyes, she continued to speak, "Obviously she is still a yellow flower girl in the boudoir, but she runs outside all day without home, what kind of system do you think you have?"

"Queen Mother's ......"

After hearing this, Xuan Xi's eyes rolled twice, and he hurriedly put on a pitiful look, ready to be coquettish. But before he could spit out two words, he was rudely interrupted by the Queen Mother.

"Don't call me the queen mother, I don't have a disobedient daughter like you!"

Hearing this, Xuan Xi was taken aback, in her memory, the queen mother had never said such heavy words, it seemed that this time, the queen mother was really angry.

She hurriedly walked to the top of the hall with a smile, took the hand of the Queen Mother, and said coquettishly: "Queen Mother, Erchen won't dare next time, really, you can forgive Erchen this time......"

"No way!"

The Queen Mother broke free of the hand that was grabbed by Xuan Xi, and shook her head heavily, "Who doesn't know that you girl is full of nonsense? Last time, I said that I would never dare again, and then I didn't want to run away if I wanted to, and the Queen Mother didn't dare to believe your words anymore, this time, I must punish you well and give you an unforgettable lesson!"

"Queen Mother's ......"

Xuan Xi tugged her hand again, shook it vigorously in a squeamish tone, and spoke, "You just forgive Erchen this time, okay, just this time, I promise that I will never do it again in the future...... Really, it's the last time, I promise!"

Hearing this, the Queen Mother's face finally softened slightly, "Really?"

"Of course it's true!" Xuan Xi nodded categorically.

"Okay, then the mourning family will believe you again, if you dare to commit it again next time, don't blame the mourning family's subordinates for being ruthless. The Queen Mother nodded slightly and spoke.

"Uh-huh...... Erchen swears that he will never do it again in the future!"

Xuan Xi hurriedly raised his right hand and swore to the sky, but he was extremely relieved in his heart, and finally escaped.

However, the Queen Mother seemed to see through her thoughts, a meaningful smile appeared in her eyes, and then she waved her hand, and several maids on the side immediately brought a few scrolls.

"Mother, what are these?"

Xuan Xi curiously picked one up from it, opened it and saw that it was a portrait of a man with exquisite painting, and the man in the portrait had delicate facial features and was quite eye-catching. And in the lower right corner of the portrait, there is also an unfamiliar name, which is supposed to be the name of the man in the portrait.

The Queen Mother also pulled out a scroll from these scrolls and opened it, "These ...... They were all painted by the mourning family by a painter, the outstanding young master of our court princes and ministers, come, come and see, is there any one you like?"

"Favorite?"

Xuan Xi was slightly stunned, and then looked at the portrait of the man in his hand, and seemed to understand the queen mother's plan, and said in surprise: "Could it be that the queen mother, you plan to ...... it."

The Queen Mother looked at her and smiled, "That's right...... You're already the oldest, and it's time to find a colt to discipline you......"

"Pony?"

Hearing these two words, Xuan Xi was taken aback!

"But...... I'm only a little over eighteen years old at best, and if I'm going to recruit a horse now, will it be a little early?" she said hurriedly.

"Early?" the Queen Mother shook her head, "Eighteen is already late, if you look at the women of the people, there are many women who marry at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and it is already a rare thing that you can't marry at your age." ”

"But...... But ......"

Xuan Xi still wanted to say something, but his mind was in a mess, and he didn't know what to say, when suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred in his heart and he spoke, "But isn't the imperial brother still not choosing a concubine? He is older than me, why don't you urge him to choose a concubine first, but instead choose a concubine for me in a hurry?"

Hearing this, the Queen Mother sighed slightly.

"Do you think that the queen mother doesn't want to urge your imperial brother to choose a concubine as soon as possible? However, our Emperor Gaozu has already had an ancestral precept in front of him, and the emperors of all dynasties are not allowed to choose concubines before the age of twenty-five, so they should make great efforts to make the country stable and prosperous. So even if the queen mother is in a hurry, there is no way. ”

The Queen Mother shook her head and looked at Xuan Xi again, "Therefore, the queen mother can only find you a concubine first, and after your imperial brother is twenty-five years old, she will talk about this concubine." Come on, come on, come and see if there is anyone you like here, and if not, there are other people here in the queen mother. ”

When Xuan Xi heard this, she was speechless, and when she saw the Queen Mother urging her to find a person in these paintings, she was both angry and anxious.

In the end, she blurted out angrily: "Don't look at it, none of them are my intended person, and not only are they not here, even those in your hands are the queen mother, and there is absolutely no one who is my intended person!

"You kid, you haven't seen it yet, how do you know that none of them are your favorite?"

Speaking of this, the Queen Mother suddenly stopped, and after carefully looking at her daughter a few times, she seemed to understand something in her heart.

After slowly rolling up the portrait in her hand, the Queen Mother asked in a tentative tone, "Could it be ...... You've got someone you like?"

Hearing this, Xuan Xi's face turned red for no reason, and he was rarely silent.

Seeing such an abnormal situation, the Queen Mother didn't understand that she had guessed correctly, but she didn't expect her daughter to go out on this trip, and she actually had someone in her heart.

In the heart of the Queen Mother, what came up for a while was not joy, but complexity.

"Who is he, and what is his family background?" The Queen Mother asked these two questions in a row, but it made Xuan Xi's pretty face, which was already slightly reddened, even redder.

"Tell me about it...... Which family is he?" asked the Queen Mother.

Xuan Xi was a little overwhelmed by the queen mother's questioning, so she had to whisper weakly: "Oops...... It is...... That's the ......."

"Who is that?" the Queen Mother was a little anxious.

"It's my senior brother......" Xuan Xi's voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end, he muttered like a mosquito, and the Queen Mother almost didn't hear it.

However, after she heard Chen Yutian's identity, she was slightly relieved.

"It turned out to be him......"

......

......

Chen Yutian slowly put down the file in his hand.

Unexpectedly, during his absence, such a bizarre case occurred in the capital, and the deceased was inexplicably beheaded off, which is simply a strange news in the world!

"Have you finished reading?" asked Xuan Ye on the side.

Chen Yutian nodded, his gaze extremely solemn. The circumstances of this case are serious, and if the murderer cannot be detected and caught as soon as possible, I don't know how many people will be killed!

"I think you should be aware of the seriousness of this case. So I won't go into details, but now, I still have one more thing to tell you, that is, in another month, there will be an envoy from the Western Regions Barbarian Nation to my Daxuan, and I hope that before that, this case can be solved. ”

Xuan Ye's expression was solemn and he glanced at Chen Yutian.

Chen Yutian nodded slightly, although the time was a little tight for others, but in terms of his ability, this time was also abundant.

"In addition, before that, you and the Nine Dragons Mansion patrol will be temporarily suspended, and then we will talk about it after the barbarian envoy leaves!"

Chen Yutian nodded slightly, "Obey." ”

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flew into the Taiji Palace, Chen Yutian turned his eyes and fixed his eyes, and found that the person who came in was the first guard Puyang Mausoleum beside Xuan Ye.

Puyang Ling hurriedly came to Xuan Ye and knelt down and said a bad news.

"Your Majesty, the third deceased has appeared!"
