Xu Beiyou snorted.

After a short while, the eldest aunt Moshu slowly walked out of the Flying Frost Palace, and after making eye contact with Zhang Baisui, she looked at Xu Beiyou, "Come with me." ”

Xu Beiyou hummed again, and silently followed Moshu through the only passage to the Flying Frost Palace.

Before coming to the Flying Frost Palace, Xu Beiyou was once again amazed by the ingenious design of this queen's palace.

This hall is an independent hall, imitating the pattern of the Tianchi and the Taoist hall of the Xuandu of the Daomen, build a platform on the lake, build a hall on the platform, before he looked at first glance, thought that the lake water is like a moat around the main hall, in fact, the whole hall floats on the lake, covering most of the lake, on the difficulty of building, it is better than the glazed pavilion of the East Lake Annex.

The base of the whole hall should be made of jade, supplemented by Taoist talismans, to isolate moisture and humidity, warm in winter and cool in summer.

Fifty years ago, Emperor Xiao, who had just ascended the throne as the emperor, in order to let the seriously ill queen recuperate, specially invited the three great people of Daomen to build this palace, which was originally called the "Palace of Eternal Life", but later Queen Lin Yinping smiled and said that there are no immortal people in the world, so it was changed to "Flying Frost Palace".

Koi fish swim in the lake, and even koi fish occasionally jump out of the lake, and if you can jump over the entire royal road, it is called "carp jumping over the dragon gate".

Xu Beiyou crossed the threshold and entered the palace, at this time the emperor had already left, leaving only the queen mother with the same surname as him.

Empress Xu sat on the throne and motioned for Moshu and the maids to step down.

After there were only two people left in the hall, she slowly got up and walked in front of Xu Beiyou.

This is the first time Xu Beiyou has seen this queen mother, a little unexpected to him, she is extremely beautiful, but she is not similar to Xiao Zhinan and Xiao Bai brother and sister, nor is she alike, I think it is because Xiao Bai and Xiao Zhinan are both similar to His Majesty the Emperor.

In fact, the face shape of this queen mother and Xu Beiyou is somewhat similar, when she is not smiling, she is a little indifferent, but when she laughs, it will melt away from the ice. In Xu Beiyou's view, this future mother-in-law is a little more graceful and gentle than his wife who has not passed through the door, but this gentleness has been replaced by majesty at this time, and she is still constantly examining this "hairy son-in-law".

For this son-in-law, Queen Xu was dissatisfied from the bottom of her heart, dissatisfied with her daughter's self-assertion, dissatisfied with her husband's arbitrariness, and dissatisfied with him disrupting her overall plan.

There was even a bit of surprise that she didn't want to put into her mouth, why did Han Xuan let this young man be surnamed Xu?

Xu Beiyou saluted respectfully and shouted the queen's mother.

Because the emperor came over in person for this matter, Empress Xu didn't really give this prospective son-in-law a cold face, and nodded lightly, "Xu Beiyou, Xu Nangui." ”

Xu Beiyou did not speak.

Empress Xu sat back on the throne and said calmly: "I have heard about you, the adopted son of Han Ge Lao, the disciple of Gongsun Zhongmou, the young master of Jiangdu Xu Gongzi, and the young master of the Sword Sect, can indeed be regarded as a young and handsome man. ”

Xu Beiyou said softly: "Don't dare." ”

Empress Xu chuckled, unabashedly sarcastic, "Don't you dare?" You dare to kill Zhang Zhaonu, you dare to be hostile to the Daomen, you dare to beat Duanmu Yu half to death in Qiutai, you dare to marry my daughter, what else do you not dare?"

Xu Beiyou was silent again.

Of course, Empress Xu will not regard this young man who is in Jiangdu as a child, a child can't be a prince of Jiangdu Xu, and she can't marry the princess of Daqi, so she regards this young man as half an opponent, and in the face of Xu Beiyou's closed-mouth meditation, she decided to go straight to the point, "I think you also know, I am against this family business, but Han Ge Lao personally begged, His Majesty is not good at refusing, so this will marry Zhinan to you." ”

Xu Beiyou nodded.

Empress Xu said calmly: "Since the wood has been completed, I should have accepted you as a son-in-law, but I didn't do it, do you know why?"

Xu Beiyou spoke again, still with two words, "I don't know." ”

"Well, I'll tell you now, because from a mother's point of view, you're not a good match. Queen Xu's tone was calm, and she faintly revealed a sharp edge hidden under the calm, like a shark under the sea, "I met with the eldest princess yesterday, and she also meant the same." ”

Xu Beiyou was silent.

The eldest princess Xiao Yuyi, the last queen of the previous dynasty of Dazheng, is also the second princess of Daqi, and the sister of the current emperor Xiao Xuan.

Her meaning to Xiao Zhinan is very different, in a sense, she is more like Xiao Zhinan's mother, and her status is also very special, even if the current emperor has to give up three points.

Empress Xu's tone gradually became cold, and then said: "Even if you start from the twentieth year of Chengping, you and Zhinan have only known each other for two years, and there are still fewer gatherings and more separations in the middle, where is there any love between the two people, and where is there anything unforgettable, in the final analysis, it is just that you have taken a fancy to Zhinan's identity as a princess, and hope to enter the temple through the identity of the emperor's son-in-law, and at the same time you can befriend the king of Qi, and finally realize your ambitions, people like you, I have seen a lot." ”

Xu Beiyou lowered his head slightly, unable to see his expression clearly.

Queen Xu said indifferently: "It's not a bad thing for a man to be ambitious, after all, it can be said that he is forging ahead, and he can climb up and down through women, but also, you people who are poor and afraid, you have to seize the opportunity to die, and you want to get ahead wholeheartedly, no matter what morality and righteousness, and who can't do it, it's really not a bit cheeky, as for why Zhinan chose you, it's just because of ......"

"Nothing but that. Xu Beiyou, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, directly interrupting Queen Xu's words, "Zhinan will choose me, just because I am better than Duanmu Yu, that's all." ”

Empress Xu narrowed her eyes and looked at this young man with some surprise, as if she didn't expect him to dare to open her mouth to refute herself.

Xu Beiyou said softly: "As Niangniang said, I met Zhinan two years ago, at that time I was just a poor boy, no matter how I looked at it, I was not a good match for Her Royal Highness the Princess, on the other hand, Duanmu Ruisheng's son, the son of Pianpian Guizi, no matter how you look at it, they are a pair made in heaven." ”

Xu Beiyou exhaled a breath and said calmly: "But you high-ranking big people didn't expect that after two years of hard work in the blink of an eye, that mud leg, the little person you didn't want to look at at it originally, could be on an equal footing with you, you can't figure it out, and you can't get out of this breath, and you can't help this mud leg, so you look at this mud leg more and more unpleasantly." ”

Empress Xu's face changed slightly, and she said sharply: "Presumptuous." ”

Xu Beiyou said softly: "My father asked me not to talk nonsense, but I really want to say a word for him, it was in this Flying Frost Hall that the Queen Mother deposed her father as the second assistant, but what mistake did my father make?

"Shut up, Xu Beiyou, you are presumptuous!" Empress Xu was almost furious.

Xu Beiyou stretched out his hand and patted his sleeves gently, then straightened his clothes and bowed respectfully to her.

Empress Xu's face turned slightly pale, and she didn't know whether she was angry or angry, or both.

Xu Beiyou turned around and strode away from the Flying Frost Palace.
