There were brackets under the eaves of the imperial study room, and three or six bowls of diamond flowers were placed. Chunxiao waited in the corridor, quietly looked up and looked at He Chaoen who was standing not far from him. His face was as beautiful as an emperor, and his appearance was not as handsome as an emperor and masculine, but he looked particularly calm and peaceful.

Chunxiao stood with her palms folded, and the light green palace dressed in a beautiful and exquisite manner. When she saw her concubine coming out of it, she slowly walked up to her, lowered her eyebrows and said, "Empress..."

Xiao Yu said: "Let's go."

He Chaoen bent down and stood aside, respectfully sending the Queen to the phoenix.

After returning to Fengzao Palace, Madam Yuan stepped forward and said, "Empress?"

Knowing what Madam Yuan was going to ask, Xiao Yu said truthfully: "The emperor was not free that day, so he was afraid that he would want me to go back alone."

Madam Yuan's eyes darkened. She knew that the emperor was not relieved. She frowned and murmured: "This is too unpretentious to the Empress..." The father-in-law's birthday party only allowed his wife to return to her parents' home alone. Those people didn't know how to discuss it.

It is their own business to quarrel between husband and wife, and it is only possible to resolve it with a closed door, so there is no such thing as a quarrel.

The barbarian was just unruly, and Xiao Yu had already learned from the beginning, let alone the emperor, and no one could force him to do anything. Besides, with his angry look that night, if he had just responded so simply, she would probably be a little nervous. It would be reasonable for him to treat her coldly now.

However, although it is reasonable, Xiao Yu may not accept it. Although she is restrained and patient, she has a temper. If she had not been afraid of his identity, how could she accommodate him so much?

Besides... even if she doesn't contraceptive, even if she really gives birth to a child for him, can she and him really live together like an ordinary couple?

Xiao Yu didn't think about him. Before going to the bookshelf, he chose a few books for Chunxiao to send to He Chaoen.

It is about Manwen, and it is all her treasures. When she was studying Manwen, her father collected many useful books for her. This time, He Chaoen helped her, so of course she had to repay her.

Chunxiao took it and went out to deliver the books to He Chaoen.

...

It was soon the second day of June. The emperor was dealing with government affairs in the Yangxin Hall. Liang Shang, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, privately garrisoned weapons in a different courtyard, which caused the emperor to be furious and was now handed over to the Ministry of Justice to thoroughly investigate the matter. When several adults retreated, Xue Zhan was silent for a while before asking: "When is the time now?"

He Chaoen stood beside the emperor and replied: "Go back to the emperor, it's just time to reach Chen."

Xue Zhan nodded and stood up and said, "Change my clothes."

Now he is wearing court clothes. He usually goes to Fengzao Palace after he goes to court. Now he is mostly here in Yangxin Hall or the Imperial Study Room to review the memoir. Before getting married, Xue Zhan stayed in these two places, and his clothes were all available. Xue Zhan walked to the clothes hanger and changed into a black dragon pattern, narrow-sleeved regular dress.

With a golden jade amber belt, the young and handsome man is tall and mighty, well-dressed, and looks naturally pleasing to the eye.

After changing his clothes, Xue Zhan left the Palace of Harmony.

He Chaoen followed the emperor silently.

The Yangxin Palace is located in the southeast of the palace, quite close to the Queen's Fengzao Palace. When you pass through the Zhuanshou veranda, when you see a Yuedong Gate, Xue Zhan did not continue, but stopped in place.

The flowers are as fragrant as the lotus, the green trees are as paved as the covers. The clean and new brocade boots are stepping on the stone road, Xue Zhan said lightly: "He Chaoen, do you think I... should you go with the queen?"

He Chaoen lowered his head and said, "I think the emperor and the empress are husband and wife, and today is the birthday party for the Duke of Protecting the Country. I believe the empress is looking forward to you to go together."

Xue Zhan was silent for a moment and looked at him sideways: "Why did you take the queen like this? Is it a benefit to take the queen?"

He Chaoen hurriedly said, "I dare not. I just think it's okay if the emperor goes there."

"That's right." Xue Zhan said quickly, "Then I will listen to you and go to the Xiao family today."

So he walked in with a wide stride and walked in like a meteor.

When they arrived outside Fengzao Palace, the palace maids and eunuchs who were cleaning in the yard put down their work and knelt down to welcome the saint's carriage. It seemed that the emperor suddenly came over. In fact, it was only a few days before they stepped into Fengzao Palace. Xue Zhan looked up and saw that the palace maids in the palace gate also came out to salute one after another... Xue Zhan looked faint and stood with his hands behind his back.

After a while, his eyes fell on the green-clothed palace maids, his eyes sank, and he thought of something and asked, "Where is the queen?"

Kneeling on the ground, the palace maid closest to the emperor's footsteps lowered her head and replied tremblingly: "Today, the Empress is going to the Duke of Guardian to celebrate the birthday of the Duke of Guo, saying that it is... I haven't been together well with my family for a long time. I want to stay with my family for a while, so I left the palace soon."

...

The Empress Feng Jia arrived at the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, and the Xiao family all came out to greet him.

Today is Xiao Huai's birthday party. The Duke of Huguo has already been crowded with people, and some adults have also brought their families to celebrate their birthdays. Even the Guo family, the Shangshu Mansion, which had some conflicts with the Xiao family, today, Mrs. Guo, Zhang, and his daughter, will come to the banquet later. Xiao Yu was used to the prosperity of the Duke of Huguo Mansion. The last time Xiao Huai's birthday party happened to be the death of the late emperor, and there were many wars after that, and he did not handle it well. It was so lively that Xiao Yu felt happy to see it.

However, today the queen came alone, and the Xiao family was curious, but they didn't ask much.

After all, Xiao Yu was very favored after entering the palace, so just her concubine was enough to show her status in the harem.

Seeing that Luo looked like he wanted to ask, Xiao Yu took the initiative to say calmly: "The emperor has been busy with government affairs in recent days and is a little unable to leave, so he will not come today. But he made a special trip to ask me to bring a birthday gift to his father."

Now that he has arrived at his own house, why should he hide it? Luo took Xiao Yu and asked separately: "Although my mother cannot know about the court affairs in time, she has heard of it. I heard that the emperor treats you a little coldly these days. What's wrong? Tell me to my mother, and my mother can think of a way for you."

How to enter the palace is one thing, but now Xiao Yu is the emperor's wife, so she always gets along well on weekdays, so that she can live a more comfortable life in the palace.

To Mr. Luo, she always regarded her as her mother, and there was nothing to hide. Just say it truthfully: "It's about Yuzimaru."

Luo's face immediately paused. This matter is not a trivial matter.

Mrs. Luo quickly understood and said, "It's my mother's fault. I should have persuaded you at that time, but now..."

"You can't blame your mother for this matter." Xiao Yu said immediately. She lowered her eyes gently and continued, "After all, in that case, I dare not have children. Mother doesn't have to worry about me, I will deal with it well."

How old is she? What can she do?

Although she married once before, Zhao Yu suddenly died of a serious illness on the night of marriage, and became a widow and became a mother. She has learned the rules and principles of the palace since she was a child and knew everything, but she could not learn how to get along with her husband and wife.

Luo thought for a while and said earnestly: "Since the emperor is unhappy because of your contraception, I believe he wants you to mention that he has children. Men do not allow women to spread their branches and leaves for him casually. They do not want you to contraception, but they always feel a little sincere to you... Every year, do you understand what my mother said?"

Speaking of the way of husband and wife, Xiao Yu asked himself that he was indeed a novice. When encountering some things, he was also busy, even though he was calm and he was always nervous.

Especially Xue Zhan, who was not an ordinary family, was not a virtuous and generous style in front of him, and he was simply unusable... Sometimes, he became happy if she was a little more arrogant.

Xiao Yu nodded: "I understand every year."

Luo smiled slightly, and looked at the daughter who was married as a woman in front of her, and felt a little uncomfortable. Originally, with her family background, she would marry a child of an outstanding aristocratic family, but her husband's family always respected her a little. She went to the palace and walked on thin ice in the palace, and her mother's family could not help her at all.

As she talked to Luo, the other female relatives of the Xiao family came in. Mrs. Tang, the wife of Xiao Qizhou, was already stooled, had a big belly, her cheeks were rosy, and her whole body was much plumper than before. Seeing that she was about to salute again, Xiao Yu hurried over and gently held her arm, saying, "Sister-in-law, don't be too polite, sit down first."

Only then did Tang sit down carefully and gently put his hand on his round belly.

The Xiao family has not had a child for a long time. Tang is pregnant, and everyone in the whole family takes good care of her.

Xiao Yuzhi stood beside Liu. Seeing that Tang's belly was round and big, she whispered to Liu: "They are all pregnant with boys and girls with round belly. I look quite round in the hall sister-in-law's belly. Mother, do you think you want to give birth to a girl?"

Liu did not answer, but just glared at her hard.

Um...why is it so fierce? Xiao Yuzhi shrank his head, touched his nose and coughed gently, and then obediently stopped talking.

Although Xiao Yuzhi's voice was light, it was also what she thought was light. Everyone stood together and naturally heard it.

Xiao Yu looked at her and saw Xiao Yuzhi dressing like a butterfly. He knew that she was so straightforward. If you really mean it, you might not be able to do so. But with such a person, you will suffer the most and offend others.

Tang has a gentle temperament and has always had a good temper. Besides, she only hopes that this child can be born safely. Boys and girls are not very important to her. She chuckled softly, touching her belly and said, "The girls are also pretty well-behaved and sensible, not to mention that all the daughters of our Xiao family are beautiful."

Those who want to be mothers look even more gentle.

Xiao Yu thought of Zhao Hong.

She had no experience in taking care of her children before, but she was still very happy when she got along with Zhao Hong. Having children is probably a very important and anticipated thing for women. Xiao Yu had thought about it.

When she got married to Zhao Yu, she thought that it would be great if she had a girl. If she was a boy, she would have a hard life in the palace. She did not want her son to become emperor like her aunt. She actually didn't have much ambition.

...

There is a theater in the front yard of the Duke of Huguo Mansion, called Fanyin Pavilion. The ceiling of the theater is painted with vine patterns and faces south.

The female friends who came to celebrate their birthday today all listened to the opera here, and the stage sang the birthday of the five girls. Xiao Yu sat in the middle and was a little tired of listening for a while before leaving the seat.

Not far outside the theater is a Diaoyutai.

Xiao Yu walked over and happened to see a figure walking towards him.

It was Wei Zu. Today he wore a light blue bamboo pattern and was elegant and graceful. When he saw her, he also bowed in a regular manner.

With different identities, Xiao Yu naturally received his gift. Then he looked at the beloved side of Bishui in front of him and said, "When I was a child, you and your brother liked to come here to fish..." Suddenly, he thought of something interesting, Xiao Yu smiled, "Actually, you are much better than him, but every time you go back to the end, there is always the same number."

Of course Wei Zhi remembered. He stood quietly, looked sideways and gently looked at the face of the woman beside him, seeing that she did not look at him.

When he was fishing with Xiao Qizhou, she was responsible for watching the fish. When they were not paying attention, she quietly took a few fish from his bucket into her brother's bucket.

Xiao Yu also knew that her tricks could not be hidden from his eyes, but just didn't expose her. He said, "My elder brother has always been competitive. At that time, I thought, if you are all the same, there would be no winning or losing."

She doesn't want her brother to lose, nor does she want Wei Zu to lose.

After a pause, Xiao Yu felt that he shouldn't have said this to Wei. But for some reason, when she saw Wei, she always felt that she was still young, and she was the daughter of the former Xiao family... She stood with him very comfortable, without being trembling, and being polite.

She quickly put away her smile and looked at him slowly and said, "The emperor seems to have misunderstood the relationship between me and you. If you see him in the future, remember to be careful."

Although Xue Zhan wanted to marry Wei and Xiao Yuzhi that day, he did not issue an order. The emperor was always moody, and she couldn't guarantee what he would do to Wei.

Wei looked at her and wanted to ask her if he was nice to her? But he still didn't ask, just nodded and said, "Well, I will pay attention."

Fish swimming in the clear water, pink lotus and green leaves. Wei Zu stood tall and graceful, stood for a while before speaking, and said slowly with a clear tone: "Every year, have you always wanted to know what the rime in Lingzhou, the mountains and rivers in Qingzhou, and the sunset outside the border are like?"

"I've seen this trip for you...

Xiao Yu looked up at him, and saw that his eyes were gentle, and her face was clearly reflected inside, and he said slowly.

“…They are beautiful.”
