Chapter 9 Good things
Xiao Yuzhi enjoyed it very much and felt that she was indeed a blessing.
Look at Xiao Yu beside him. So what if he has been in the scenery for more than ten years? Until the end, no one knows what God would do. I thought he would soar into the sky after becoming a queen, but I didn’t know that he had become a widow for a long time. It would be fine. Now this widow is uneasy, and even the royal family is overturned.
Xiao Yuzhi thought about her father's teachings these days and asked her to always remember that she is the daughter of the Xiao family and not just remember to go against Xiao Yu.
Her father listened too much to his uncle.
However, after she became the queen, she would definitely be able to support her father. In the future, the entire Duke of Guarding will rely on their three houses.
After listening to nice words from Xiao Yu, Xiao Yuzhi was in a good mood and said to Xiao Yujin and Xiao Yu: "No matter what, the position of this queen always falls into our Xiao family. We are cousins. I am the queen, which is also good for you."
She was very happy to match her two cousins. Xiao Yujin was gentle and virtuous, but she could find a good family. Xiao Yuyu... When she thought of her ability to control Xiao Yu's marriage in the future, Xiao Yuzhi felt particularly excited and could not wait to get out of the box.
But she had never seen the new emperor before, and had only heard of him as a tall and heroic man, and he was satisfied.
Xiao Yu smiled slightly. When he raised his eyes, he met Xiao Yujin's eyes opposite him, and he also smiled at her. They all knew Xiao Yuzhi's temper, so he smiled at her and stopped talking.
After the Xiao family's female family arrived at the palace, Xiao Yu and Xiao Yujin got off the carriage first. Xiao Yuzhi sorted out her appearance in the carriage before slowly getting off. The maid beside her hurriedly went forward to support her.
After coming down, Xiao Yu walked to his mother Luo. Luo smiled and shook her hand, walked side by side with her. He glanced at Liu and Xiao Yuzhi and his daughter, and then lowered his voice and asked her: "Did Wu Yao bully you?"
Luo has a beautiful skin and beautiful facial features. She is a gentle woman. She married Xiao Huai as a renewal and became the mistress of the Duke of the People's Mansion, and gradually gained some courage. After all, her words and deeds represent the Duke of the People's Mansion, and she must not lose face because of her.
After years of being with Xiao Huai, he has been influenced by his calm and composed demeanor of generals. Now Luo is no longer comparable to that of the past.
"Mother……"
The cold wind made Xiao Yu's nose slightly red, her eyes were as bright as stars, and she said, "You still think I am a child. Don't worry, the fifth sister can't bully me."
In Luo's eyes, Xiao Yu was just a little girl. When he saw her for the first time, his eyes lit up. He felt that the sixth girl of the Xiao family was so good. She raised her hand and tied the strap of the cloak tightly for her and said gently: "That's good."
Xiao Yu followed Luo to the banquet together. She was loved by the queen and aunt since she was young. In addition to the Duke's Mansion, the palace was the palace for the longest time, and she was very familiar with it. However, when she entered the palace, the maids and inner prisoners were all very attentive to her. The phoenixes falling into the water were not as good as chickens. They didn't dare to show their respect to her, but instead ran to the third room.
Xiao Yu could enjoy the glory and wealth, so he naturally knew these snobs. She was not angry, but understood a little, one was the queen mother of the previous dynasty and the other was the future queen. If she were her, she would also know who to be dedicated to. Just because of the understanding, if this matter ended up on her, she would always feel a little uncomfortable. But this little discomfort was not enough to influence her mood.
When passing by the Imperial Garden, a crisp voice was heard from a distance: "Mom!"
Looking up, I saw a small dumpling next to the plum blossom tree in a dark green brocade robe. Next to him was a palace maid following him. I was probably very surprised to see her here, and ran over here with a huff, but after running for a while, I thought of something. I hesitated and stood there, looking at her.
Xiao Yu's heart softened and he whispered to Luo: "Mother..."
Luo didn't know Xiao Yu's personality. In the past six months in the palace, she has been dependent on the little emperor's orphan and widowed mother for life. It is most likely to cultivate feelings in times of trouble. But at this time, it is really difficult to have much contact with King An... Luo hesitated. She looked at Xiao Yu's eyebrows quietly, knowing that she was worried, and then said in a low voice: "Go. But don't stay too much."
Xiao Yu also understood in his heart. Seeing Luo nodding, he said happily: "Daughter knows."
Luo smiled and saw Xiao Yu walking towards Zhao Hong. The little dumpling standing in the snow was hesitant. Looking at Xiao Yu's eyes, they were both expectant and nervous. When Xiao Yu passed towards her, his eyes suddenly lit up.
The child's smile is most likely to infect people, so Luo smiled and said, "This child is so beautiful..."
"Mom, Brother Hong misses you? Does Mom miss you?"
Seeing Xiao Yu take a step towards him, Zhao Hong couldn't wait to run over. He hugged Xiao Yu's arm tightly, looked at her with his neck tilted, and his smile was extremely bright.
Xiao Yu bent down and saw that he was wearing a dark green jacket, wrapped tightly, like a ball, with a white, fat and rosy face. As his father said, the servants of Prince An took good care of him.
She also smiled and said, "Of course I want to, my mother misses Brother Hong."
When Zhao Hong heard that his mother missed him, he was happy. He was still afraid that his mother would forget her.
Xiao Yu asked him how he had been in Prince An's mansion in the past few days. The little guy frowned and replied seriously: "The one who takes care of Brother Hong is Madam Zheng. My mother should know that she is very good to Brother Hong. The servants in the mansion are also very obedient. Everyone respects Brother Hong. There is also a special gentleman who teaches Brother Hong to study. Well... it's just a little pure and misses his mother a little."
Life is pretty good.
But this quietness... Xiao Yu's smile gradually faded away, and he gently touched Zhao Hong's face. He was an emperor of the previous dynasty, so who dared to have anything to do with him?
"But--" Zhao Hong remembered something and said, "The Fourth Emperor Uncle came to see Brother Hong and brought some interesting books to Brother Hong."
The Fourth Emperor Uncle.
Xiao Yu thought about it.
Zhao Hong touched his head and said in confusion: "I saw it just now, I went to the palace with Brother Hong to attend the banquet..."
Then he shouted again, "Four Emperors Uncle."
The plum blossoms are better than snow in the imperial garden, and the faint fragrance floats. Hearing the sound of shoes stepping on the snow, Xiao Yu slowly raised his eyes.
Then, a young man walked out from behind the plum blossom tree, wearing a light blue embellishment, with a slender figure, a handsome and gentle appearance. The plum blossoms and the snow that accidentally shattered off fell on his shoulders, graceful. He slowly walked to Xiao Yu, and Zhao Hong called him "The Fourth Emperor Uncle".
This is……
Xiao Yu was a little surprised: "King Qi."
Zhao Xuan looked calm and saw Xiao Yu, and called out: "Empress Dowager."
It was indeed King Qi Zhao Xuan. Xiao Yu was not very concerned about his affairs, but he didn't know when Zhao Xuan would return to Jincheng. Hearing him call him like this, he said, "Prince, don't call him like this again. I am no longer the queen mother."
Zhao Xuan was tall, probably because he felt that Xiao Yu was right about what he said. He seemed to think for a moment, looked at her with a deep look, and then spoke with a clear tone.
"Sister-in-law."
Her is indeed the wife whom Zhao Yu was married to, and that Zhao Yu died early. The King of Qi Zhao Xuan called her sister-in-law, so there was nothing wrong with it.
But although she is familiar with the Great Wei royal family, Zhao Xuan, the King of Qi, left Jincheng six years ago and went to Tongzhou, his fiefdom, so he was naturally a little unfamiliar. When he met, he didn't know what to say. She didn't know why Zhao Xuan took such a great risk to contact Zhao Hong. If it were in the past, she would have thought about the royal family's struggle for power and throne, but now Zhao Hong is in a downturn, and Zhao Xuan's contact with him will not get any benefits at all.
Could it be that he is really kind?
She thought about Zhao Xuan carefully.
He is different from Zhao Yu, and his origin is not obvious. His mother is a low-ranking maid and died shortly after giving birth to him. When Zhao Yu was named the crown prince, he was just an inconspicuous little prince in the palace. If she remembered correctly, Zhao Xuan was born as a small child when he was a child, not very talkative, and had a weird temperament. Unexpectedly, now...
His eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Zhao Yu, but they were more delicate, but they were not as feminine as their daughter's family, and they were very elegant. Looking at his thin clothes and calm demeanor, he was no longer the sick little prince he had ever been...at least he was in good health and was not afraid of the cold.
Xiao Yu talked to Zhao Hong for a while, and Zhao Hong was about to go with Zhao Xuan. Seeing that she was reluctant to leave, Zhao Xuan, who had been silent, said, "As the current situation is forced, sister-in-law should not be with Hong'er for too long. But sister-in-law don't worry, I will come over to see him from time to time."
It's okay, she was worried about this. After all, if her father asked about Zhao Hong, if the new emperor found out, it would be bad for their Xiao family.
Xiao Yu's eyes lit up, and he smiled and looked up at Zhao Xuan: "Then it's a blessing for the prince."
Madam Yuan had already started urging her, and Xiao Yu said goodbye to them and hurried to the banquet.
Zhao Hong looked at Xiao Yu's back and called out his mother weakly. When he turned his head to look at the Fourth Uncle beside him, he saw that he was also looking at him, so he asked in a low voice: "Fourth Uncle, did you... know your mother before?"
Zhao Xuan stood tall, the cold wind gently lowered the corner of his robe, lowered his head to meet Zhao Hong's black big eyes, and then gently patted his little head with his slender hands, and said lightly: "I know."
...
Xiao Huai was in the Bifu Pavilion in the Imperial Garden, following the emperor to enjoy the snow with other civil and military ministers.
The Xiao family was about to have a queen, and some of the adults who had avoided him had begun to talk to him. Although Xiao Huai was in the military camp since he was a child, he had been practicing in the court for a long time. Although he had seen these people's faces clearly, his face was not obvious at all.
He nodded slightly to the adult beside him, raised his head, and saw the young emperor suddenly feel excited, holding the slingshot that the child had just played with, and swishing a few times.
