"Queen Mother, Erchen is back." Baili Huaqing tugged Xia Xiaoyu's fingers, Xia Xiaoyu understood, and immediately saluted unfamiliarly, "Xia Xiaoyu, the people's daughter, I have seen the Queen Mother." ”

The Empress Dowager ignored her and let her half-squat, but looked at the tiger girl with a smile and beckoned to her with a kind face, "Tiger girl, come to the imperial grandmother." ”

Hu Niu frowned, and pulled Ping An to salute the Empress Dowager together, "Hu Niu greets the imperial grandmother." Imperial grandmother, this is the safe sister of the tiger girl, she is the righteous daughter of her father's mother. However, in Hu Niu's heart, she is my own sister. ”

Ping An was a little hurried, and timidly saluted the Queen Mother, "The people are safe, I have seen the Queen Mother." ”

She thought to herself, it shouldn't be wrong to bow like an aunt, right?

The Empress Dowager's eyes fell on Ping'an, looked her up and down, and then said with a smile: "Ping'an, right?" Since you are the sister of the tiger girl, then you are also my granddaughter. Hehe, you look really well-behaved, children, come to the imperial grandmother. After speaking, he beckoned to Hu Niu and Ping'an, it was Xia Xiaoyu who was still half-squatting on the side.

Baili Huaqing was displeased, and reached out to help Xia Xiaoyu, but she refused with her eyes. He frowned, raised his eyes to look at the Empress Dowager, his eyes were full of disapproval, and he was about to speak, but the tiger girl on the side had already grabbed ahead of him.

Hu Niu looked at the Queen Mother with an innocent face, "Imperial grandmother, Hu Niu also has a younger brother, will the imperial grandmother love her younger brother as much as she loves Hu Niu?" ”

"Brother?" The Empress Dowager looked at Baili Huaqing in astonishment.

At this time, Hu Niu said again: "Yes." Imperial grandmother, you haven't said yet, will you hurt your brother in the end? ”

"It hurts, of course it hurts." The Empress Dowager hurriedly responded.

Hu Niu shook her head unhappily, "Imperial grandmother, but what you say and what you do is different." ”

"Different?" The Empress Dowager looked at the tiger girl suspiciously.

Hu Niu nodded and said, "Imperial grandmother, my brother is in my mother's belly." The imperial grandmother asked my mother to squat so half-squatting, how could my brother be comfortable inside? ”

This one?

The Empress Dowager stared at Baili Huaqing and Xia Xiaoyu with wide eyes, and her eyes finally fell on Xia Xiaoyu's abdomen, where she couldn't see anything, and her eyes became more complicated, "Qing'er, why didn't you say this in the letter?" ”

This girl is still so scheming, she even has a child?

The Empress Dowager's mood was very complicated, but the most was unhappy.

Baili Huaqing said with an innocent face: "Queen Mother, I only found out about this matter after I went to the recital. I thought that I would soon come to celebrate the birthday of the queen mother, so I would just wait until we met, so that the queen mother could be pleasantly surprised. ”

Surprise?

Surprise more than joy, right?

Her son is so good, are she afraid that there will be no woman to have children?

"Sit down." The Empress Dowager endured the displeasure in her heart, and beckoned to the tiger girl with a smile, "Tiger girl, come to the imperial grandmother." ”

Hu Niu pulled Ping'an towards the Empress Dowager, she lowered her voice and said, "Sister Ping'an, don't be afraid. We have to find a way to make the royal grandmother like her mother. ”

Ping An glanced at her, indicating that he understood.

Baili Huaqing took Xia Xiaoyu to the side and sat down, beckoned the palace maid to bring down the freshly brewed tea, and replaced it with a cup of boiling water. He pushed the boiling water in front of Xia Xiaoyu and said gently: "Xiaoyu, drink water." Rong Zhi said, you shouldn't drink tea now. ”

Xia Xiaoyu smiled lightly, and the eyes of the two met together, and their eyes were sweet.

The Empress Dowager quietly watched the interaction between the two of them, and watched the changes in Baili Huaqing, she felt somewhat relieved in her heart, but she was really worried about Xia Xiaoyu.

She was afraid that Baili Huaqing's love was in the wrong place.

"Imperial grandmother, can the tiger girl tell you a story?" The tiger girl's glutinous voice interrupted the empress dowager's contemplation, and the empress dowager looked down at her, rubbed her hair, and said kindly: "Okay, our tiger girl is so well-behaved, she can already tell stories." ”

Hu Niu straightened her chest and said proudly: "Not only can I tell stories, Sister Ping'an and I can also do a little martial arts, and we can read and write together, and we take care of the dragon fruit and tomatoes in the yard." Grandmother didn't know that our dragon fruit and tomatoes were growing well. ”

"Martial arts?"

The Empress Dowager frowned, Hu Niu is a county lord, what kind of martial arts do you learn? Isn't there anyone who can protect her? She raised her eyes to look at Baili Huaqing, and there was disapproval in her eyes.

Hu Niu couldn't see what the Empress Dowager meant, but she pretended not to see it, and said to herself: "Imperial grandmother, you don't know." My mother knew that I was less than a month old and frail and sickly since I was a child, so she asked me to learn some martial arts, with the intention of strengthening my body. Later, Dr. Rong said that this method is the best, and Dr. Rong said that people can't always take medicine, it is a three-part poison, and if you use diet therapy and exercise, it is the best treatment. ”

"Really?"

"Well, really! Hu Niu never tells lies, her mother said that it is not a good child who lies and deceives people, and she must be honest. The tiger girl seemed to be more and more excited, and she couldn't stop the rhythm at all, "Imperial grandmother, look at it, does the tiger girl look healthy now?" It's all my mother's credit, my peace and my father's three meals a day, all of which my mother wrote recipes for the kitchen. In the past, when my mother was not pregnant with my younger brother, my mother cooked for us with her own hands. My mother's craftsmanship is good. ”

As she spoke, she smashed her mouth. She looks like she's about to drool when she talks about it.

Let the Queen Mother look at it and like it in her heart.

The tiger girl took a bite of my mother, and the queen mother was even more suspicious when she heard it. Baili Huaqing took advantage of her being stunned for a while, and suddenly picked up Xia Xiaoyu and walked out, "Mother, Xiaoyu is too tired all the way, I will accompany her back to the palace to rest first." Early tomorrow morning, my son will come over to greet you again. ”

The Empress Dowager came back to her senses and hurriedly called out to him, "Hey, Qing'er, this is a reception banquet for you, it's not good for you to leave." ”

"Mother, I'll go back first, let Hu Niu and Ping'an accompany you, and I'll come to pick them up tomorrow." The corners of Baili Huaqing's mouth overflowed with a triumphant smile, "Mother, your grandson is happy to be quiet, and you have to believe in your son's vision." ”

The Empress Dowager didn't take him seriously.

Xia Xiaoyu was in a hurry, twisting her body and not cooperating with him, the Empress Dowager already didn't like her, she was so impertinent, I was afraid that it would be difficult to please the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager is Baili Huaqing's mother-in-law, and she doesn't want to have a bad relationship with her.

This will only make Baili Huaqing and Hu Niu difficult to become.

"You put me down."

"You're not feeling well, so let me carry you out of the palace, right?" Do a full set of plays, and Baili Huaqing will not let go.

Xia Xiaoyu glared at him, "If you don't let me down, I'm going to be angry." ”

Baili Huaqing stopped, struggled inwardly, and let her down, "You have a strong temper." "She's like this, as long as it's someone she cares about, she doesn't want the other party to misunderstand herself.

Xia Xiaoyu returned to the palace, and the Empress Dowager looked at her, with a little more inquiry in her eyes.

What does she want to do?

"The Empress Dowager, the people know that it is difficult for ordinary people to understand the life experience of the people's daughters, and I don't want the whole world to understand me. The folk girl doesn't understand the etiquette of this palace, but she is not an impolite person. You are Huaqing's mother, the grandmother of the tiger girl, whether you want it or not, and whether I want it or not, we will all become relatives. We all have the same wish, which is to see that everyone we care about is happy. ”

Xia Xiaoyu looked at the Empress Dowager fearlessly, and clearly expressed her thoughts word by word.

The Empress Dowager snorted coldly, "This is your politeness?" ”

"Back to the Empress Dowager, Xiaoyu didn't think it was rude, if Xiaoyu left in silence and let the Empress Dowager suspect and worry, it would be really impolite. If Xiaoyu didn't have the same face as Sister Jingchu, if Xiaoxia hadn't appeared suddenly, I don't think the Empress Dowager would be so suspicious, right? But people's hair and skin, their parents, and Xiaoyu can't be influenced. ”

Seeing that the Empress Dowager's expression was shaken, Xia Xiaoyu said again: "Of course, I don't say this to make the Empress Dowager believe me unconditionally immediately. Xiaoyu felt that the Empress Dowager did not believe in Xiaoyu, but believed in the vision of Huaqing and Huniu, and believed in the eyes of the other courtyard. ”

"You mean, if I don't believe you, then I don't believe Huaqing and Tiger Girl?" The Empress Dowager asked calmly, and the gaze that fell on Xia Xiaoyu became sharp, making people feel intimidating.

"The Empress Dowager's words are wrong, Xiaoyu is just discussing our similarities, but she doesn't want the Empress Dowager to misunderstand. Although Xiaoyu and Huaqing are in love, when I first met him, it was not like this. I didn't fall in love with him at first sight, and he didn't treat me like love. The Empress Dowager's suspicion of Xiaoyu, I believe that he was definitely no less than the Empress Dowager. But later, I admired his concern for the people of Baili Country and agreed with his ideas, so we will have the land cultivation reform in the future, and we will have the long-term love in the future. As for the tiger girl, I always believe that children's intuition is the most innocent, and I hit her off at first sight. The Queen Mother, if it affects the Queen Mother's family happiness because of the light rain, it is the sin of the light rain. Xia Xiaoyu smiled and spoke.

The Empress Dowager suddenly narrowed her eyes, "Are you threatening me?" ”

"Don't dare! Xiaoyu just has something to say. ”

"Don't think I don't know, you just fancy the glory and wealth behind Hua Qing." The queen mother was forced by her to gradually lose her breath, and when she saw Hu Niu and Ping'an leaving hand in hand, they both walked towards Xia Xiaoyu, and she was even more angry.

A bright smile bloomed at the corner of Xia Xiaoyu's mouth, "Background is not something that everyone can choose, if he can, I hope he is just an ordinary person, so that he and I can find a place without asking about the world, and truly live that kind of pastoral life like a fairy couple." I like to make those crops, and I believe the Queen Mother has heard of it a little. ”

Baili Huaqing looked at her gently, and the affection in her eyes shocked the Queen Mother.

This is before, when Jing Chu was still alive, the tenderness in Baili Huaqing's eyes was not so dazzling.

Could it be that I am really too suspicious?

"Xiaoyu, if I can, I'd be willing to live the kind of idyllic life you said about being a fairy couple." Baili Huaqing expressed his position on the spot.

Tiger Niu and Ping An also agreed, "We like it too." Where the father and mother are, the tiger girl (peace) will go, and where there is the father and mother, there will be the happiness of the tiger girl (flat case). ”

The Empress Dowager was both shocked and displeased, and waved her hand: "Since you are too tired, then go back." Huaqing, early tomorrow morning, you have forgotten that you are going to enter the palace to see the emperor. ”

"Yes, mother, I know." Baili Huaqing nodded.

Hu Niu and Ping'an hurriedly saluted, "Imperial grandmother, let's go back first." ”

Xia Xiaoyu smiled and saluted, "The folk girl retired." ”

When they turned around, the Empress Dowager stroked her forehead with one hand and watched thoughtfully as the four of them left holding hands. No matter how reluctant she was, it was undeniable that Xia Xiaoyu's analysis was also reasonable, which made her fall into contradiction for a while, and the cold arrogance in her expression had gradually been stripped away, leaving a confused face......

It is true that she has never had to peek into the glory and wealth of King An's mansion!

Shouldn't I doubt the vision of Huaqing and Tiger Girl?

There was a burst of laughter in the imperial garden in the distance, and the Empress Dowager got up, "Let's go!" It's time for us to go to the banquet too. ”

Mama Li, who was beside the Queen Mother, helped her up, and said as she walked: "The Queen Mother, I saw that the girl just now was quite tough, but she had a little bit of the temperament of the Queen Mother when she first entered the palace. The prince is also a slave and grew up, his vision is excellent, and his mind is also delicate. The slave maid could also see that the prince and the little county lord were very painful to the girl. Why don't the Queen Mother relax? It is said that the son Mo Ruomu, how can the queen mother not be relieved of the prince? ”

Mama Li is the personal ring of the Queen Mother, when she entered the palace, she brought Mama Li in, the two are called master servants, but they are like brothers.

The Empress Dowager listened to her persuasion, and her heart was really much more relaxed, right! His son himself knows that he will not be enthusiastic to trust a person, and believes that he must have really understood this woman.

"You say that her temperament is like me back then, then you will suffer a lot of losses."

Hearing this, Mama Li smiled, "I won't suffer, with the prince and the queen mother protecting her, she will definitely be fine." Now that she is pregnant with the flesh and blood of the prince, if she can add a little grandson to the queen mother, then the queen mother can be regarded as a matter of heart. ”

The Empress Dowager has a son in old age, and now she will soon hold a grandson who is younger than her grandson, and her mood is naturally joyful.

"Alas, this life history is like a blank piece of paper, I said don't worry, that's fake. You have also seen how much Qing'er and Huniu care about her, if it is confirmed that her purpose is impure in the future, then how can Qing'er and Huniu be embarrassed? ”

The Empress Dowager couldn't help but sigh.

Mama Li continued to persuade and said, "The Empress Dowager, the children and grandchildren here have their own children and grandchildren. The slave and maid didn't know, but they knew that the prince and the little lord were blessed people. ”

The Empress Dowager fell silent and thought about it as she walked.

……

"Light rain, it's here." The carriage stopped at the gate of [Anwang's Mansion], and Baili Huaqing gently shook the summer light rain, full of doting. Xia Xiaoyu opened his eyes, rubbed lazily into his arms, and said in a daze: "Where is this?" Is it dawn? ”

Baili Huaqing smiled, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "I'm home." ”

"Home?" Xia Xiaoyu sat up straight, and he was much more sober.

"[Anwangfu]." Baili Huaqing looked at her mushy little appearance, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was thick, only to think that she was very cute, like the cat who usually saw her sleeping.

Xia Xiaoyu yawned and nodded, "Oh." ”

Outside, the tiger girl called softly, "Daddy, why don't you come down yet?" ”

"Here we are." Hu Niu's voice was like Xia Xiaoyu's sobering agent, and her eyes were clear in an instant, and her sleepiness disappeared completely.

Lifting the curtain, Baili Huaqing led her to lean out, and before anyone got out of the carriage, a group of people at the gate saluted in unison, "The slave welcomes the prince and the county lord home." ”

Baili Huaqing gently helped Xia Xiaoyu get out of the carriage, and then led her to the front of the crowd, "Get up!" ”

Everyone got up and looked curiously at the woman beside Baili Huaqing, this look, everyone was startled, gasping one after another, many people have exclaimed, "Princess? ”

Baili Huaqing smiled and introduced Xia Xiaoyu to everyone, "That's right! She's about to be your new princess. Her name is Xia Xiaoyu, and she is the most important person between me and Huniu. ”

Xia Xiaoyu?

Everyone put away their stunned gaze and looked at the new princess in front of them again, although at first glance they looked exactly the same as the former princess, but on closer inspection, the charm of the two was very different.

Hu Niu held Ping'an, stepped forward to hold Xia Xiaoyu's hand, and said softly and glutinously: "Mother, let's go home." ”

When everyone saw this scene, they didn't dare to have any thoughts about Xia Xiaoyu in their hearts. Baili Huaqing has never treated them badly, and now that he has found happiness, he is happy for him from the bottom of his heart.

Manager Kang greeted him with a smile, "Lord Wang, Miss Xia, please come into the house." ”

Xia Xiaoyu looked at Manager Kang, and always felt a little familiar, so Baili Huaqing introduced her with a smile, "Xiaoyu, this is Uncle Kang, he is Kang Lin's uncle, and he is also the head of our [Anwang Mansion]. ”

I see!

No wonder it feels familiar, it turns out to be Comber's younger brother.

"Hello Uncle Kang!"

Manager Kang hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't you dare to be!" Don't dare to be! As he spoke, he quickly looked Xia Xiaoyu up and down, and nodded secretly.

The eldest brother had already sent a letter to him, mentioned Xia Xiaoyu's situation to him, and asked him to tidy up the prince's yard. It can be seen from the letter that the eldest brother appreciates this Xia girl, and now it seems that it is really good.

There are no shelves at all.

Baili Huaqing and Xia Xiaoyu were hugged into the palace, and a woman walked out of the flower garden under the high wall next to the gate of the palace, only to see her staring coldly at the gate of [An Wangfu], her hands clenched into fists.

Xia Xiaoyu, why have I worked so hard to manage things for so many years, but all the benefits have been reaped for you?

T
