Xian Zi Ai didn't say anything else, she just smiled slightly and said softly: "Husband, Zi Ai finally thought of a good idea, but she didn't tell her husband at this time. When we husband and wife come back from the palace, Zi Ai will tell
Husband."
As she said that, Xian Ziai smiled cutely, her face full of charm and softness, she leaned towards Guan Yupeng, and gently touched Guan Yupeng's chest clothes with her hands, which made Guan Yupeng look a little dumbfounded, but only Aning felt that Xian Ziai was here.
Suddenly he glanced at her, sending chills down her back and panicking her heart.
It was not the first time for Xian Zi Ai to come to the palace, but it was the first time to the Queen Mother's palace. Even if she played the piano for the Queen Mother's birthday before, it was in a courtyard specially arranged by the emperor for the Queen Mother. There were many people, many dignitaries.
The daughters were together. This was her meeting alone with the Queen Mother.
"General Guan, Young Madam of the Guan family." A very gentle and pleasant woman stood outside the Queen Mother's palace. The young father-in-law who had just reported to the couple stood on one side with his eyes lowered, "Please follow me.
Please go inside and wait. The Queen Mother has something to do and will let you in shortly."
Guan Yupeng nodded, took Xian Ziyi and Aning and followed the palace maids into the inner courtyard to wait.
At this time, the sun was at its best in the afternoon, and it was quite warm on her body and face. Xian Ziai felt a slight sweat on her forehead, and gently wiped it with a handkerchief. Aning stood behind, she was a slave
, although Guan Yupeng never punished her because of her sister's relationship, but after all, she is a servant who serves others, and this hard work is really not hard work.
But Guan Yupeng felt a little impatient when he saw the fine sweat on Xian Ziai's face and her slightly red cheeks. He looked into the room with the curtains. It was very quiet and he couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.
"My little father-in-law, can you please go and ask how the Queen Mother's affairs are being handled?" After waiting for a while, Guan Yupeng also felt sweat on his forehead, and the clothes on his body felt uncomfortable against his skin, and he frowned.
Frowning slightly, he glanced at a little father-in-law not far from them, took a few steps closer, and asked.
The young father-in-law seemed a little surprised. He raised his eyes and looked at Guan Yupeng. Although he knew the identity of this person, he was not common in the palace. He said in a low voice: "Slave, wait, if the Queen Mother wants to see you, someone will naturally attack you."
Come out and announce your entrance."
Guan Yupeng was startled and then remembered that this was the palace of the Queen Mother. Although he was a border general, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, he was just an ordinary man. He had no right to ask the Queen Mother if she had time to see him. He
I can only wait here in the sun.
No matter how powerful the Guan family is, they are still ministers of the emperor, and the emperor is the son of the Queen Mother.
"There are really no rules!" A strange voice suddenly sounded.
Guan Yupeng was startled, his voice was abrupt and high-pitched, and he felt dissatisfied in his heart. The Queen Mother could do this to him, how could a young father-in-law in the palace do this? But if he looked carefully, he saw that the young father-in-law in front of him did not speak, and there were no other people nearby.
Some little father-in-law or slave is talking.
Perhaps the young father-in-law behind the door curtain reprimanded him on behalf of the Queen Mother. After hesitating, he supported Xian Zi Ai's body, which was already shaking slightly, with his hands, and softly comforted him, "Zi Ai, please bear with it, you will be fine in a while."
Xian Ziai was annoyed in her heart, but she nodded with the discomfort on her face.
"Your sister is indeed a smart person." The Queen Mother looked at the three people standing outside through the curtain and whispered softly, "Even if she is dissatisfied, she should make a gesture of pity. If Xian Ziqian had her
Half of my thoughts are still at home."
"If she had half as much scheming as Xian Zi Ai." Xuan Yi ate grapes lazily, "Can she become the princess of her dreams now?"
The Queen Mother suddenly smiled, glanced sideways at Xuan Yi, and said half-truthfully: "If she didn't have half the scheming skills of Xian Zi Ai, do you think she cares about the title of this favorite princess? If she had half the scheming skills of Xian Zi Ai, maybe now she
I have been avoiding you for a long time."
Xuan Yi raised an eyebrow and said, "Empress Dowager, your decree is not that I must marry her. With her qualifications, it is really hard to be Princess Xuan."
The Queen Mother smiled slightly and motioned to Liuli to peel a grape and eat it, "Humph, you brat, don't you just want to marry a daughter from the Daxing Dynasty? The Ai family knows that the Daxing Dynasty also intends for you to marry a girl from their royal family. Unfortunately,
The Ai family just won’t satisfy you, so they have to let you marry a girl from our Wumeng country first. If it really doesn’t suit your wishes, the Ai family can promise you to find any reason to divorce her. But anyone can, that’s it.
Xian Zi Ai absolutely cannot do it. She is not in the eyes of the Ai family."
Xuan Yi sighed and said slowly: "It's a pity that this girl's beauty has allowed Guan Yupeng to take advantage of her. Well, I also know that when I look at the flowers, I sometimes miss it. It happens that sometimes
I like the dog's tail flower, or mistake the peony for the peony."
"Haha." The Empress Dowager laughed, "Xian Zi'ai is not a dog-tailed beauty. That girl is very showy. Xuan Yi, don't underestimate her. If she is interested, this Xian Zi'ai may not be her opponent.
.By the way, I heard that the second young master of the Guan family likes this girl very much. How about the Ai family making a bet with you?"
"What kind of bet?" Xuan Yi concealed the sharpness in his eyes and said with a slight smile.
"Do you believe that the young lady of the Guan family outside, the girl Xian Ziyaixian you like, will talk about Guan Yucheng and Xian Zijian today?" The Queen Mother pursed her lips, "Xuan Yi, if you make this bet with the Ai family, you will lose.
No doubt. Liuli, go and invite the princess you like, and tell her that her sister and brother-in-law are here, and the Ai family will hold a banquet to see her sister and brother-in-law off, so she can accompany them."
Liuli smiled slightly, and when the Empress Dowager was not paying attention, she quietly mouthed to Xuan Yi, "You are no match for the Empress Dowager, she is the best among human beings!" Then, ignoring Xuan Yi's expression of laughter and tears, he turned around and left.
Please come over here.
The impatience on Guan Yupeng's face is getting deeper and deeper. He doesn't go back to the capital often, and naturally he rarely interacts with people in the palace. He just feels restricted and very uncomfortable. Although he can no longer ask the Queen Mother if she has time,
From time to time, he looked at the hanging door curtain and saw the palace maid who had led the couple in before lifting the curtain and coming out. Just as he was about to say hello, the palace maid seemed not to see his expression and left along the corridor.
Just as I was feeling irritated, I suddenly heard a somewhat flattering and flattering voice, which was somewhat similar to the high-pitched voice just now, "Welcome your favorite princess, and wish your favorite princess always be beautiful!"
Only then did Guan Yupeng realize that the sound came from a parrot in a cage in front of them.
