  Chapter 1303【V167】

  Time flies, New Year's Eve comes quietly.

This is the busiest and most lawless day of the year. Even if Huangfu Qing lost his teeth, Ning Yue didn't say anything to her. She didn't understand why the Chinese New Year was more lively than her birthday, and she didn't understand why Father Huang He will cherish his mother especially, as if the mother has done very tiring and difficult things, so the father loves him so much.

  Ai, the world of grown-ups is really difficult to understand.

  Huangfu put his head down to eat the fried sugar-coated little golden fruit.

   There was no snow in Shengjing, but the climate was cold and humid. Ning Yue sat for a while, feeling a little cool, and stroked her arms.

Dongmei stepped forward and asked if she wanted to add some charcoal, but Ning Yue refused. She didn't move, and naturally felt cold. The two little guys were eating and drinking, but they were already sweating profusely. Wet, hurriedly took a cloth towel and put it on: "Go and warm the clothes, and change them for the prince and princess later."

   "Yes." Dongmei responded.

  Ning Yue looked at the door, and said again: "The emperor has been going to the imperial study for a while, and I'm afraid he might be caught up in something, so you send someone to stew a bowl of ginseng soup."

   "Okay, ma'am."

  Ning Yue saw that there was nothing else to do, so she simply got up and walked around. After all, she was not yet nineteen years old, but she was still very irritable. After walking a few steps, she was sweating hotly, so she went back to the bedroom to change her shirt.

Passing through the exquisite corridor hung with red exquisite lights, you enter a small wintersweet garden. Because of the climate, the wintersweet here does not look very good-looking. Ning Yue thinks of the plum trees in her hometown. Dancing with the wind, running on the snow with my elder brother, my mother and eldest sister laughed together behind me; I also thought of the wintersweet planted by myself in the palace wall of the previous life.

   "Are you cranky again?"

  A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him, it was still full of magnetism, so nice that it could make people's ears pregnant.

Ning Yue turned around, her eyes passed through the mottled tree shadows, and fell on a face wearing a silver mask. Those eyes were as quiet as an abyss, with a huge suction force, as if they wanted to capture all the souls of people. The corners of his bright red lips curled up slightly, as if he was very satisfied with Ning Yue's daze: "You're thinking about me again, aren't you?"

  Ning Yue returned to her senses, and smiled politely and distantly: "Why are you here? I didn't hear any news beforehand."

  Sikong Shuo gracefully walked around from behind the plum tree, and said disapprovingly: "I want to surprise someone, it seems that I am more frightened."

  Ning Yue couldn't help laughing: "How can it be so serious?"

   When the words fall, there is no more words.

  The atmosphere is a bit awkward.

   Once upon a time, I always had endless things to say to him, but in my new life, everything changed on one side.

  Sikong Shuo put his hands behind his back, looked at the stars in the sky, and said with a half sigh: "How are you doing recently?"

  Ning Yue said: "Very good, how about you?"

"not good."

  Ning Yue's eyes paused, and she looked at him.

  He laughed: "I'm old and lonely."

  Ning Yue looked away, didn't know where to look, picked up a wintersweet, stroked the petals and said: "You are not young anymore, and you have regained your humanity. Let's find a suitable girl to start a family with."

   "Ma Ningyue, what do you think of home? Just find someone to live with?" He asked with a hint of sarcasm.

Ning Yue was speechless, because for most people, home really meant this. There were thousands of unsatisfactory things in the world. Marriage was a matter of matchmaker's words and parents' orders. What men wanted was nothing more than Beautiful wives and concubines, full of heirs, what women want is nothing more than raising their eyebrows and respecting each other as guests. As for other things, they are lucky if they get it, but fate if they don’t.

The atmosphere became more and more embarrassing, no one spoke, Ning Yue tightened the thin jacket on her body: "It's windy outside, come in and sit down, Xuanyin is in the imperial study, I'll ask someone to call him, you two may not see each other for a long time , there must be a lot of personal things to say."

   This is ready to escape.

Sikong Shuo was angry and funny: "Ma Ningyue, I don't seem to have treated you lightly, have I? I haven't done anything to make you uneasy, have I? As for seeing me like a mouse seeing a cat, you can hide when you can? "

  Ning Yue couldn't move anymore.

Her feelings for Sikong Shuo are very complicated. She once loved deeply, and then hated deeply. Lake water, but he can't stand him and keeps teasing her, what else can she do besides hide?

  The two remained silent for a few seconds, only the whistling wind remained in the air.

   "Haven't you gotten tired of Xuanyin yet?" He asked with a half-smile.

  Ning Yue gave him a sideways look: "We're doing very well, sweet and sweet."

Sikong Shuo chuckled: "Forget it, you can live with him, I owe you. I didn't cherish you at the beginning, so I have to watch others own you in this life. You are still a person... I can't bear to touch you, God's sake." The arrangement was brilliant."

  If she followed someone else, she had no doubt that Sikong Shuo would kill that person and take him as her own, but it happened to be Xuanyin, his dearest brother.

  Ning Yue couldn't help sighing: "Yeah, this kind of arrangement really makes people crazy, uncomfortable and helpless...Fatality tricks people."

   "Sometimes I really envy Xuan Yin."

   What do you envy him for? Became the emperor you always wanted to be, or got the woman you always wanted?

  Ning Yue lowered her eyes and listened quietly.

  He asked: "Will he still dream about things from the previous life?"

  Ning Yue shook her head: "It's been a long time, maybe Geng Wushuang made a mistake, Xuanyin won't remember everything at all."

"It's good to only remember part of it." His voice gradually tinged with melancholy, "I occasionally think, why can't I remember the past? Even if I can't, at least let me know, you What is it like when you love me?"

  Ning Yue's heart trembled.

Sikong Shuo laughed at himself: "Now, I have to find all kinds of excuses even to see you. I have never regretted anything, including the fact that I have done everything under the skirts of those empresses in order to get to my current position. I have no regrets at all." , but Ma Ningyue, your business..."

   His throat slipped, and he said with difficulty: "I regret it."

   After finishing speaking, he turned and left. The wintersweet was blown off by the cold wind and floated on his shoulders, and was blown up by the wind again, falling into the dust.

  …

  Ning Yue returned to the bedroom, just in time to meet Xuan Yin returning from the imperial study, Xuan Yin took off the heavy dragon robe, changed into normal clothes, and asked Ning Yue, "Sikong Shuo is here, have you met him?"

  Ning Yue gave him a slight pause for his belt-tying hand: "I met you, and I said a few words in the wintersweet garden."

   "What did you say?" Xuan Yin grabbed Ning Yue's hand with a nervous expression on his face.

  Ning Yue smiled and said, "What else can I say? Just ask him why he came here suddenly."

   "Oh." Xuanyin let go of his hands, and buttoned his neckline, "He has heard about Huangfuyan and Huangfushan, come and tell me."

   "Is...really?" Ning Yue lowered her eyes.

   Xuanyin sneered: "But I think he is looking for an excuse to see you."

  Ning Yue's body froze.

   Xuanyin fastened the buttons: "Small tricks, I'm still afraid that he won't make it? A few years ago, I couldn't **** you away. Now you are a queen, he thinks beautifully."

  Ning Yue's eyelashes trembled, she raised her eyes and smiled and said, "Are there going to be fireworks later? The children have been looking forward to it for a long time." She changed the subject without a trace.

   "Of course we have to let it go. Qing'er has been arguing for a long time, and she and I personally picked those fireworks." When mentioning her daughter, Xuanyin had a look of doting on her face.

  Ning Yue changed into a royal blue sable fur coat, and said, "You said just now that Sikong Shuo found out the whereabouts of his younger sisters. Where are they? Are they living well?"

"Sikong Shuo tracked down their traces in the Northern Territory. He followed a caravan. It's not clear whether it's good or not, but with Huangfuyan's mind, it shouldn't be bullied. Later, Sikong Shuo is going to go to the merchants. Caravan dignitaries, but found that the caravan has left the Northern Territory."

   "Where did that go?"

   "Probably Soochow."

   "Soochow?" Ning Yue's face was a little strange, "That's a big desert, where will the caravan go?"

Xuanyin said: "The desert also needs to do business, and also needs life and military supplies. At present, it is not sure whether the caravan really went to Dongwu, or whether it will return to the northern region. Anyway, the southern border and the western border It's just that there is no trace of the two of them."

  Ning Yue thought about it, and found it a bit tricky, because both the Northern Territory and Soochow had much more complex terrain than Xiliang in the southern Xinjiang.

   "Do you want to tell the queen about this matter?"

   Xuanyin shook his head: "Tell me when you find it, lest—"

  He didn't say the latter words, but Ning Yue understood, so that in case there was an accident on the road, it would be better to let the queen mother always think that the daughters are living safely in some corner.

  The two reached an agreement tacitly. When they arrived at the backyard to set off fireworks with the queen mother and the little buns, they never mentioned the matter of Huangfuyan and Huangfushan.

  The queen mother accompanied her grandchildren to set off fireworks, and when she was tired, she went back to the house to watch the new year.

As soon as she left, Sikong Shuo came, still in the radiant purple dress, with a straight and slender figure, wide sleeves falling down, and a brocade box inlaid with colored glaze and pearls twisted in his hand. All kinds of brilliance, pearly luster and jade, make him more and more exquisite like jade.

   "Daddy Sikong!" Huangfu threw himself into his arms, jumped up, and he grabbed her easily and picked her up.

   "It sank again." He chuckled.

  Huangfu hugged his neck and bit his cheeks: "I miss you so much, Daddy Sikong! You won't come to see me after the Mid-Autumn Festival! I'm not happy!"

  Sikong Shuo looked at her amusedly: "Here, I'm here to apologize to the little princess." He handed her the brocade box in his hand.

  Huangfu held the brocade box with his little paws: "What is this?"

"open to take a look."

Huangfu Qing opened the brocade box, it was an exquisite golden slingshot, Huangfu Qing's eyes lit up at that moment: "Wow! Daddy Sikong, how did you know that I always wanted this? The queen mother said it was for boys to play with, so she didn't give it to me." I do it!"

   "How can you thank me?" Sikong Shuo looked at her with a smile.

Huangfu Qing smacked his face again, the little mouth that had just eaten candy was stained with candy, it was sticky, and it was strangely uncomfortable, but Sikong Shuo didn't reach out to wipe it, as if enjoying it: "This is gone." ? I have been making this slingshot for a long time, and my eyes are almost blind, do you want to thank me a lot?"

   "Yes, yes, yes!" Huangfu nodded his head furiously, but how can he thank you? "Daddy Sikong, what do you want? Let me tell you quietly, I have saved up a small treasury, and there are a lot of interesting things. Which one do you like, I will give it to you."

  Sikong Shuo raised his eyebrows: "I don't care about your little coffers."

  Huangfu blinked his eyes and said: "Then what do you care about?"

  Sikong Shuo pursed his lips and said, "Your mother said, it's time to find me a wife. Will you change me?"

   "Then I will change myself to you!"

  Sikong Shuo laughed haha.

   This is probably the most presumptuous and most out-of-control smile that I have lived for more than thirty years.

  …

  Huangfu Qing was very clingy to Sikong Shuo, even after taking a bath, the court lady was not allowed to dress her, so he slipped his chubby white body into Sikong Shuo's arms: "You can dress her for me."

  Sikong Shuo put her on the soft and comfortable little tiger pajamas.

   "There are still braids, untie them for me!" She stretched her little head over.

  Sikong Shuo stretched out his long fingers, untied the red rope on her head, and said dotingly: "Go to sleep."

  Huangfu crawled into bed, revealing a round head: "Are you still there tomorrow?"

"exist."

  Huangfu blinked his clear and flawless eyes, and said softly: "When I grow up, I will change myself to you. Don't worry, I will grow up soon."

  Sikong Shuo was so teased by her, he pinched the tip of her delicate nose, and smiled softly: "I'm not in a hurry, you grow slowly."

  Huangfu closed his eyes contentedly, yawned, and fell asleep.

  Compared to her cheerfulness, the little prince was very calm from the beginning to the end, and treated Sikong Shuo with politeness mixed with alienation.

  Sikong Shuo looked at him.

  He saluted politely, he was a godfather in name, the little prince still understood this bit of etiquette.

  Sikong Shuo rubbed his head: "Do you still like the gift?"

  In the brocade box, the slingshot is for Huangfu Qing, and the gold pen is for the little prince.

  Huangfu Che said politely: "I like it."

  Sikong Shuo didn't say anything more, got up and walked out of the bedroom.

  …

  Sikong Shuo stayed in the palace for three days in the name of Xiliang's special envoy, and bid farewell in the afternoon of the third day of junior high school. This time he left, he went to look for sisters Huangfuyan, and he didn't know when he would return.

The day seems to have returned to its usual rhythm, and Huangfu Che started to go to the study room every day. Because he was one year older, the martial arts class in the afternoon also added a physical training; Huangfu Qing stayed in the inner school as usual, she was young, He was not in the same class as Chen Jiao and Geng Xiaoxi, but for some reason, Geng Xiaoxi first asked for a transfer, and not long after, Chen Jiao also transferred.

Since Xuanyin ascended the throne, he has spent all day without food and clothing. After he worked hard to govern the Shengjing area, he finally managed to stabilize his livelihood. However, he was half of Xiliang blood and married a Xiliang woman as his queen, so he refused to accept Nanyin. When women from Xinjiang entered the Yeting court, they were often made things difficult by the dignitaries of the feudal domain and the gentry and common people. At the beginning of the construction of the water conservancy project in the west, Rong Lin deterred the gentry and bureaucrats with thunderous means, but this radical approach did not always work.

  The imperial court recommended the abolition of slavery in various places, and was repeatedly resisted by the vassal kings. Xuanyin became very angry, and in a fit of anger, he thought of withdrawing the vassal and abolishing the nobility.

  No one knows better than Xuanyin how harmful the vassal king is to the court.

Back then in Xiliang, the Xuan family was the biggest feudal lord on the land, not only completely ruled the Beicheng area, but also blatantly developed their own army in the capital and Linzi, the imperial army and the Xuan family army really confronted each other , I am afraid that the latter is even better, but because Xiliang is not a feudal clan of the Xuan family, the Xuan family did not act rashly for a while.

  Among the vassal kings in the southern border, there is no one as powerful and domineering as the Xuan family, but there is no one who sticks to the territory like the Xuan family. Those vassal kings are scattered like sand, tyrannizing and deceiving the people, embezzling taxes, trading tea and horses, arrogant and immoral, immoral, and claiming to be a small country.

  Why is the national treasury in short supply? The vassal kings took the lead.

  No matter how much gold Xuanyin got from Spirit Snake Island, he couldn't afford such extravagance.

  The matter of reducing the feudal clan is imminent.

  Of course, Xuan Yin has passed the age of impulsiveness, so calm down and think about it, the bigger the matter, the more he must plan it slowly. The power of the vassal king was given by the ancestors, and it will not take a day or two to take it back. Moreover, it is not possible to collectively cut down the vassals, which is likely to cause riots, and it is best to conquer them one by one.

  Xuanyin drew up a preliminary plan, and discussed with Chen Taifu and Rong Qing in the imperial study for a whole night. After that, Rong Qing went to the west on the grounds of inspecting the water conservancy project, and the plan to cut the feudal clan began quietly.

   On Shengjing's side, they didn't feel that Fan was facing a violent storm, and everything was as usual.

  In April, the strawberries are ripe.

After going to the study and taking a rest in the inner school, Ning Yue took a pair of buns and got into the carriage out of the city. There was a royal orchard three miles outside the south gate, where a lot of seasonal fruits and vegetables were planted. From time to time, the royal family and ministers went to visit and purchase .

   "Wow! What a beautiful pumpkin!" Huangfu leaned on the window of the carriage, looking at the colorful pumpkin garden with a smile.

  Ning Yue smiled: "If you want, the queen mother will ask someone to pick one for you."

   "Thank you, Queen Mother!" Huangfu smiled and rolled his eyes.

  Ning Yue touched her son's little head: "Let's pick strawberries first, and you can go along the way to see if there is anything else that catches your eye."

  Huangfu Che nodded: "Yes."

  Ning Yue was used to his reserved and courteous appearance, so he didn't say anything, and asked the carriage to be parked outside the strawberry field.

  Dongmei unscrewed the spare luggage, which was a bit heavy, Xuanjiang took it from her hand, she smiled shyly, and chased after it.

  Huangfu Qing had already changed his clothes before leaving the palace, with pigtails tied up, a scarlet dress, and soft sheepskin boots of the same color, very neat. Huangfu Che was still wearing the prince's black clothes, Ning Yue smiled, took out a small blue uniform, and went to unbutton him.

  His eyelashes trembled: "My son, come by yourself."

  Ning Yue said softly: "Just ask your mother to change it for you. You always do everything yourself, and your mother will lose any sense of accomplishment in being a mother."

   "My son was wrong." He spread his arms and sent himself in front of Ning Yue.

  Ning Yue was amused by his "letting others slaughter" appearance, changed his shirt, and when he took off his pants, he covered the bird: "Don't, don't look..."

   "Haha..." Ning Yue burst into laughter.

  After changing their clothes, the mother and son entered the strawberry garden. Coincidentally, Chen Taifu and Chen Jiao were also there. Chen Jiao is also one year older, taller than the Huangfu brothers and sisters, wearing a goose yellow narrow waist long dress, her hair is tied into a double spiral bun, her bangs cover her eyebrows, and there is cinnabar between her eyebrows, she is very pretty. appearance.

  She smiled at Huangfu Che and Huangfu Qing.

  Chen Taifu hurriedly took her to salute the three of them: "I didn't know the empress was here, so I'm sorry."

  Ning Yue smiled slightly and said, "It's a fun day. Just now, I was thinking about the crowds. It just so happened that I ran into Taifu and Miss Chen."

Is it really a coincidence, or was it done on purpose, Ning Yue didn't point it out, but her son is still young, Miss Chen is indeed a delicate and interesting person, the Chen family has always been loyal to the royal family, and Empress Chen is the adopted daughter of Mrs. Chen, Under various relationships, as long as her son likes her, she will not reject her daughter-in-law.

  Chen Jiao quickly became friends with Huangfu Qing.

Chen Jiao is still young, so she probably doesn't know what love is between a man and a woman, but she likes the prince as a little friend, and she can't wait to see him every day. She is very good to her younger sister, she thinks this is not bad, anyway, she also likes Huangfu Qing very much!

  Three children picked strawberries.

   Not long after they were picked, someone from Anguo Gong's mansion also came, it was Geng Qingyun, Geng Zhijie, and Geng Xiaoxi.

   After bowing to Ning Yue, Geng Qingyun smiled and patted Taifu Chen's arm: "Oh, brother Chen, you are here too! Is it because we are destined or Shengjing is too young?"

  Chen Taifu smiled perfunctorily: "I heard that there is something wrong with the feudal lord in the west. I thought Ding Guogong was busy helping the feudal lord and didn't have time to come out to play."

The vassal king of the west is Geng Qingyun's brother-in-law, but now Rong Qing broke him into **** a young girl. In a rage, Rong Qing handed over the paper to the court, and the emperor sold him to save face and suppressed the book. It was extremely secretive, and I didn't expect it to come out of Taifu Chen's mouth. From this, it can be seen that the emperor's closest important minister is still Taifu Chen!

Geng Qingyun said with a half-smile: "Since I left the west, I have stopped asking about things there. Why? Such absurd behavior? It's really unheard of, that is, Brother Chen is well-informed, but this matter comes naturally. With the emperor's decision, it's not up to others to comment on it, so I, I'd better accompany my grandson with peace of mind!"

These words were obviously an insinuation of Chen Taifu's dog meddling with rats, Chen Taifu was not annoyed, and lightly dealt with him a few words, after all, he was a civil servant, every sentence poked Geng Qingyun's painful foot, Geng Qingyun was so angry Zhang Hong.

The children didn't realize that the two were coming and going, hiding needles in the cotton, and Geng Zhijie and Geng Xiaoxi took the basket and walked to Huangfu Che's brother and sister. After half a year, Geng Zhijie had long forgotten the unhappiness of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and happily played with them. together.

  Geng Xiaoxi is half a year older than Chen Jiao, and she has been exposed to it all year round. She is more mature than her peers. She knows that she will be a queen in the future, so she treats Huangfu Che very close.

  She took out a few pieces of candy from her sleeve: "This is the peanut toffee made by our new cook, it's so sweet."

  She originally only wanted to give the crown prince a piece, but her father told her that she could be a queen only if everyone liked her.

  Huangfu took a deep breath, looked at his brother and said, "Brother Huang, can I, can I eat?"

  Brother Huang turned to look at Ning Yue, Ning Yue nodded slightly, he said: "Eat." Then he looked at the maid at the side, "Go get some fruit tea."

   "Yes." The maid brought fruit tea, and each of them shared a cup.

  Geng Qingyun withdrew his eyes from the children, and said with a half-smile: "Madam, I see that they are very close friends. If they grow up together, they will be childhood sweethearts."

  Ning Yue picked up a strawberry calmly: "Mr. Ding really knows how to joke. There are so many children in the inner school. According to what Mr. Ding said, dozens of green plums and dozens of bamboo horses will grow in the future."

   Hitting her son?

   Dreaming!

  Ning Yue handed the strawberries to Taifu Chen: "I heard that Ms. Chen likes to copy Bengong's characters? I just brought a few when I went out today. Give them to Ms. Chen."

Chen Taifu's eyes lit up, and he said: "The child copied the mother's copybook at home every day, saying that the mother's handwriting is flowing and flowing, graceful and elegant, like a golden phoenix in the sky, astounding everywhere. It has the beauty of a daughter's family, but also the masculinity of a man. , if you know that the empress personally gave the post, you will be so happy that you don’t have to eat. My granddaughter, thank you, empress!"

  Geng Qingyun ate a soft nail that didn't hurt, and became more and more embarrassed. Taking advantage of the gap between going to the toilet, he went back to the wing for tourists to rest.

  Geng Qiaoshan was loitering in the wing room, taking a bite of a strawberry, which was very unpleasant. He didn't understand why someone had to work so hard to pick it when he could eat it if he paid for it?

  The door was opened and someone walked in.

  He didn't look at it and asked: "Is it finished picking? Can I go now?"

  Geng Qingyun glared at him bitterly: "Go, go, you know how to go? Where are you going?"

  When Geng Qiaoshan heard that his father's tone was wrong, he quickly put down the strawberry and stood up respectfully: "Father."

  Geng Qingyun sat down angrily.

  Geng Qiaoshan hurriedly poured a cup of tea: "Father, what's wrong with you? Did the queen embarrass you again?"

"She didn't embarrass me once or twice, heh, she will talk to me calmly when she sees me!" Geng Qingyun took a big sip of herbal tea depressedly, "I just saw Mrs. Chen. "

   "He's here too? What's he doing here? Could it be because he wanted to 'encounter' His Highness the Crown Prince?" Geng Qiaoshan asked in surprise and anger.

  Geng Qingyun sighed: "80% yes."

  Geng Qiaoshan turned up the volume: "What? They're also eyeing the position of the Crown Princess? Isn't their Chen family boasting that they have already found a Chen Princess and won't find anyone else?"

   These are the original words of Concubine Chen. When Princess Deqing went to southern Xinjiang to choose a son-in-law, many concubines recommended their nephews to Ning Yue, but Concubine Chen blatantly refused.

  Geng Qingyun frowned and said: "This moment and that moment, I don't think it necessarily means that. Children like to play together, it should be just that."

Hearing this, Geng Qiaoshan was about to relax when he heard his father say: "However, if the queen loves the young lady of the Chen family and asks the crown prince to accept her as a concubine, the Chen family will definitely not object. I think the young lady of the Chen family likes the crown prince very much." .”

   "Then... will the queen marry Chen Jiao as the princess?" Geng Qiaoshan asked worriedly.

   "Nine times out of ten." Even if it was to prevent Geng Xiaoxi from ascending to the throne, the queen would definitely let the prince choose another good girl, but looking at the entire southern border, there is no one else who can hold down Geng Xiaoxi in terms of identity, except Chen Jiao.

  Geng Qiaoshan was in a hurry, and after a while, he said with luck: "They are still young, maybe in the future..."

Geng Qingyun interrupted him: "It is because I am young that I have to plan well. Do you know how many years it took the old man to plan for the big house to succeed? Before Empress Chen married the first emperor as the adopted daughter of the Chen family, the old man He had already set his sights on the queen's seat, but it was a pity that Geng Yan hadn't been born yet, so the old man had to let Empress Chen enjoy himself for a few years, thinking that he would give birth to a daughter and send him to the harem in the future. Pull it down. Unexpectedly, the king of Nanjiang really fell in love with Queen Chen, fearing that his foundation would be too stable to be pulled out in the future, so the old man resorted to a divorce plan and forced Queen Chen to death.

  Of course, Empress Chen is not a fuel-efficient lamp, leaving the prince behind and fleeing with Lan Zhen. Before escaping, the old man put a venom on Empress Chen, never thought that the venom would enter Lan Zhen's body, and through Lan Zhen, give it to Lan Zhen's child. "

   "Didn't it mean that that kind of Gu can't get pregnant?"

   "It is not easy to conceive, and it will be passed on to the fetus, so it is called impossible, it cannot be done in this way, it is not impossible."

  Geng Qiaoshan was in a fog.

Geng Qingyun continued: "I heard that Mr. Lan Zhen gave birth to a child, but he died, and then Xuan Yin was born. At that time, the old man was already seriously ill, so he handed over the burden to the big house and paid for it. Dafang paved the last way—to kill Lanzhen."

   "Did Lan Zhen be killed by grandpa?" Geng Qiaoshan was dumbfounded.

Geng Qingyun said: "The old man and the eldest brother all participated, and there are a few people from the Northern Territory. I don't know who they are. So why the big house was in trouble, and I didn't help them. It's their own fault. These, the old man and the eldest brother have never done anything. I didn't tell me about it, I just inquired about it myself, and there may be a lot of things I didn't inquire about. In short, the old man has been planning to be the queen of the Geng family since a long time ago. After killing Lan Zhen, he waited again. It took a few years to send Geng Yan, who was born and matured, into the imperial palace. During this period of ups and downs for more than 20 years, the old man was always planning. If we want to be the queen, we can't just wait for Xiao Xi to grow up. Now, we are about to start paving the way for Xiaoxi."

   "How to shop?"

  Geng Qingyun smiled meaningfully: "Do you think that I really came here today to create a chance for Xiaoxi and the prince to get along?"

   "No, isn't it?" Geng Qiaoshan widened his eyes.

Geng Qingyun sneered and said: "I just wanted to test the empress's attitude. The prince is a filial son, and who he will marry in the future is not necessarily up to him to decide. To a large extent, it is the empress who selects the best girls and then chooses the ones she likes. Bring the candidate to the prince and let the prince choose at will. But even so, if the prince does not choose the candidate in the queen's mind, he still has to choose again."

   "Father means... who the prince will marry in the future is entirely up to the queen?"

"That's right. If the crown prince really chooses, I am sure that the crown prince will like Xiaoxi, but the initiative is in the queen's hands. I just asked the queen a few words at random. The queen's meaning could not be more obvious. If I have to Fighting for the crown princess, she summoned the daughter of the Chen family into the palace."

  Geng Qiaoshan got angry when he heard it: "What is the Chen family? Didn't they just raise Empress Chen for a few days, and they really treat themselves as a dish?"

  Geng Qingyun said: "The queen loves this dish, what can you do?"

  Geng Qiaoshan dejectedly said: "Is there really no way out? Xiaoxi is so beautiful, a Taoist priest will tell her fortune when she is born, saying that she is born with a phoenix fate, and she must be a queen in the future!"

"Of course Xiaoxi wants to be a queen! For the successor, I even supported Xuanyin, the emperor who bleeds half of Xiliang's blood. I opposed him on the surface, but secretly helped him pull out so many hidden stakes. Even the vassal king of the west , My brother-in-law had an accident, I just stood by and watched! If you have sacrificed so much, if you still can’t get a queen position—it’s a shame!” Geng Qingyun’s eyes were like torches.

   "But, but the queen doesn't like us, and doesn't accept our favor! Even if we do a hundred good things, he will think that we are just like the big house, and they are all gangsters!" Geng Qiaoshan complained.

  Geng Qingyun smiled indistinctly: "At first I was helpless, but after you reminded me last time, I suddenly thought of a good idea."

  …

  After picking strawberries, the children were sweating profusely, and their little faces were flushed, very cute.

  Ning Yue asked Dongmei to wash the strawberries and put them on the table: "Go and wash your hands before eating."

  The little ones jumped up and down.

  Huangfu Che walked behind in a dignified manner. He had just arrived at the sink after they finished washing.

  He wiped the soap locusts and washed them gently in a clean basin.

  Suddenly, the sound of throwing glasses and a woman crying came from the arbor in the north, and he involuntarily pricked up his ears.

   "How many times have I told you, don't let this woman in again! Have you all ignored my words?"

   "Madam, don't blame them, it's my fault, I have to ask them to let me in..." The woman's voice was crying.

  The sarcastic wife spoke again: "What do you have to do? Didn't you say it well at the beginning, and never communicate with each other?"

"Ma'am... I have been having nightmares for the past few days. I dreamed that Brother Lian was crying and telling me that he was very uncomfortable. He wanted to go with me. I was worried that something happened to him, so I asked this way. Please let me go." I'll see Brother Lian, okay?" The woman cried her heart out.

"I don't like to hear your words! What do you mean it's not good for you to dream of Brother Lian? Do you think I will treat him badly? Just ask, the whole family, who doesn't know that he is my own son? It is himself , I always thought it was my own! I treat him better than myself! You had a messy dream and suspected that I had treated him badly, what is your intention?"

   "Madam, I have no intentions, I just miss him so much, please let me meet, I will not say that I am his biological mother... Madam..."

"I remember, I warned you at the beginning that after giving birth, the child has nothing to do with you. If you dare to come to me, I will make you die." The lady's words suddenly became very Calm, but scary, she clearly said such ruthless words.

  The woman begged for mercy: "Ma'am... I am willing to die, please let me see brother Lian and know that he is well. I am willing to die, ma'am!"

   "How many of you, huh?"

   "Ma'am, what are you doing? Ma'am... ma'am! Ma'am! Ah- let me go... um... um..."

   As if his mouth was blocked, he made an uncomfortable sound.

  Huangfu Che frowned, and walked towards the house, just a few steps away, a young woman with a messy bun was carried out by several powerful women.

   "Where is it buried?"

   "Bury it in mass, remember not to let the young master see it, and don't let the young master know what happened today, so that the young master and his wife won't get divorced."

"You know, don't worry, old sister. Everything is the fault of Liu. Who told her not to listen to Madam? A concubine must have the consciousness of a concubine. Don't think that after giving birth to a child, she is the child's mother. The aunt is in , the child will always belong to the aunt, if you rob the wife of the child, you deserve to be killed!"

   "Don't let the master know, the master loved Mrs. Liu very much. The most important thing is, don't let the master know that the wife is a cruel person, understand?"

   "Remember, old sister."

  Huangfu Che walked back with a pale complexion.

  Huangfu ran over bouncingly, grabbed his little hand and said, "Brother Huang, you are too slow! Everyone is waiting for you! The queen mother said, if you don't eat, we are not allowed to eat first!"

  Huangfu Che lightly brushed his sister's hand away.

  Huangfu Qing pestered him again: "Brother Huang, shall we go pick pumpkins after eating strawberries? I want the biggest one!"

  Huangfu Che stumbled and followed his sister forward.

   "Brother, I still want to pick gourds! I want my mother to make some gourd lanterns for me!"

   "Qing'er."

"what's wrong?"

   "You...do you like the Queen Mother?" His eyelashes trembled irregularly.

  Huangfu said without even thinking about it: "Of course I like it!"

  The little prince asked again: "Do you think the queen mother treats you very well?"

  Huangfu nodded his head like pounding garlic!

  He asked in a daze: "If... the queen mother is not your own, would you like it too?"

   "Huh?" Huangfu stared in confusion, "What do you mean? What is your own birth? Don't you celebrate my birthday? Then I will find my father to celebrate my birthday!"

   While talking, the two came to the small gazebo in the strawberry garden.

  Ning Yue glanced at the little prince, and said: "Look at you, wash your hands, your clothes are all wet, come here, the queen mother will wipe it for you." Saying that, she went to pull Huangfu Che.

  Huangfu Che suddenly patted her hand away.

  Ning Yue froze for a moment.
