Empress Chen looked at Xiahou Shuang at the bottom, dressed in a lilac suit, with a pearl head of the same color, kneeling down and unable to see the expression on her face, Empress Chen said: "You raise your head and I'll take a look." ”

Xiahou Shuang slowly raised her head, only to see that this woman's skin was as bright as snow, and her eyes were as cold as the bright moon.

Fu Lin's appearance is already rare, but he is still slightly inferior in front of Xiahou Shuang, and his cold look is the same as that of the second child, which makes Queen Chen suddenly seem to know the reason why the second child asks to marry.

Empress Chen said, "Sit down and talk back." ”

Xiahou Shuang respectfully got up and sat on the stool next to her, and Empress Chen asked, "How old is Miss Xiahou this year?"

"Back to the queen's words, the courtiers have just passed the ceremony. ”

"I don't know how Miss Xiahou and the second prince met?" Empress Chen asked lightly.

"The courtiers were once rescued by the prince, but this incident made the courtiers and the prince acquainted. Xiahou Shuang said respectfully.

"I don't know why Miss Xiahou was saved by her cousin?" Fu Lin on the side had fire in his jealous eyes, and couldn't help but ask.

Empress Chen frowned unconsciously, seeing that Xiahou Shuang was coming today, Empress Chen didn't want to see Fulin, but Fulin arrived at Jingyang Palace in advance, and had been begging to see what kind of temperament the woman was favored by her cousin.

Who knew that as soon as Fu Lin came up, he couldn't hold his breath, and Queen Chen had the heart to send Fu Lin away, but when she thought about Fu Lin's presence, it was also a test for Xiahou Shuang, letting Xia Hou Shuang know that being the royal daughter-in-law was not so easy to do.

Empress Chen retracted her emotions and watched how Xiahou Shuang dealt with Fu Lin.

Xiahou Shuang had already expected that someone would blame him today, but he didn't expect it to be Fulin, this Fulin County Lord has always admired Xiao Xinrong, maybe he has hated himself in his heart at this time, and Queen Chen is also happy to see it happen today.

Fu Lin grew up beside the queen and suffered such a big loss, Queen Chen definitely wanted to breathe a sigh of relief for her, and she had to be careful.

Thinking of this, Xiahou Shuang said lightly: "It's only because the dead mother of the courtiers left a few shops, and there were scoundrels who came to make trouble that day, thanks to the help of the prince, there was no loss in the store." ”

"I can't imagine that Miss Xiahou, a delicate boudoir daughter, actually walks in the shops every day, does Miss Xiahou want to be a businessman?"

Workers, peasants, and merchants, although the prosperity of Kyoto is inseparable from the operation of merchants, but because of their low status, they are not respected by everyone, and Fu Lin said this very politely, how can a young lady be compared with a businessman.

Xiahou Shuang's expression was grim: "I don't know where the county lord's words came from, these shops of the courtiers are all the dowries left by the deceased mother, and the courtiers miss the deceased mother, so they take care of these shops carefully, so as not to let them go out of business, the courtiers have a filial piety to the deceased mother, why did they become mercenary businessmen when they came to the county lord?"

"Could it be that the county lord only has red and white things in his eyes!"

"You ......" Fu Lin didn't expect Xiahou Shuang to be so sharp-toothed, and he was speechless after a few words: "I didn't expect Miss Xiahou to be used to quibbles, it turns out that she was reserved and gentle in the past, and she couldn't pretend to be gentle?"

Fu Lin was annoyed and ashamed, it was really a loss of identity to fight with this person, Xiahou Shuang disdained to fight with Fu Lin, but if he retreated today, he might make people look down and be laughed at, if he blindly retreated, it might cause more trouble, so it was better to cut it off directly.

"Courtiers have always been like this, as for whether the prince is willing to marry a courtier, presumably the prince has some arguments in his heart, and please don't worry about it. ”

"You are so bold, you dare to talk to me like this, Xiahou Shuang, do you really think that with your cousin's support behind you, the county lord has nothing to do with you?" Fu Lin was angry and pointed at Xiahou Shuang and scolded angrily.

"Okay, Fulin, like what, Miss Xiahou is a guest, and she must not be so rude to the guest. Empress Chen reprimanded lightly at this time.

"Niangniang......" Fu Lin was unwilling to say something, Queen Chen glanced at it, and then stepped aside stupidly.

At this time, Qianyue entered the hall and said, "Niangniang, let the concubine ask to see outside." ”

What is the reason why Concubine Ling came here at this time? Empress Chen was puzzled, but she felt that Concubine Ling might have something to do with Xiahou Shuang, and Empress Chen glanced at Xiahou Shuang and saw that she couldn't find a trace of fault sitting on the chair.

Empress Chen nodded and said, "Let her in." ”

A string of silver bell-like smiles came in from the entrance of the palace, and Concubine Ling, dressed in colorful palace clothes, walked in from outside and said, "I heard that Niangniang has a distinguished guest coming to the door today, and the concubine came to join in the fun." ”

"Concubine Ling has a heart. Empress Chen's expression was indifferent, this Concubine Ling must have been uneasy and kind when she came today.

Concubine Ling has been favored by His Majesty over the years, and she has fought against the queen everywhere, and has added to Queen Chen's blockage, and Queen Chen has been quietly resolved by her several times against Concubine Ling.

Empress Chen's eyes flickered, and she reached out to hold the teacup to hide the emotions in her heart.

"That day, the concubine just saw Miss Xiahou from a distance in the main hall, and when I saw Miss Xiahou today, she was really a good color, and she was not inferior to our Fulin County Lord, but why did Miss Xiahou come here today?" Concubine Ling smiled and said playfully, her eyes were cold and she spat lotus flowers.

"Today, the courtiers were called to meet the queen. "This concubine Ling hated herself to the bone because of Han Wu's relationship, and blatantly set a trap on herself above the main hall.

Concubine Ling's eyes rolled when she heard this: "It turned out that Niangniang invited Miss Xiahou to come, and she is also a beauty like Miss Xiahou, everyone wants to see it, it seems that Niangniang also has a preference for Miss Xiahou, and she doesn't summon other young ladies, but only Miss Xiahou." ”

Concubine Ling wanted to know why Xiahou Shuang could come today, Empress Chen's expression was cold, and she raised her head slightly and said, "You also said that Miss Xiahou is a rare beauty, is it possible that this palace needs to accompany other noble girls when she summons her?"

The smile on Concubine Ling's face paused slightly: "Niangniang misunderstood the concubine, the concubine was just a little surprised to see Miss Xiahou." ”

"Forget it, don't talk about the concubines, the provincial mother is unhappy. Concubine Ling has always been clever, and seeing that the queen doesn't want to mention it, she is busy changing the topic.

This Xiahou Shuang is difficult to deal with, but it is not that she has fallen into the queen's blue eyes, I don't know what the queen has to do, why not use her to deal with herself again, so that the concubine turns a thousand times in her heart, and her thoughts are uncertain.
