When Xue Zhan saw that she loved to eat, he took a few more pieces attentively. When he had dinner with her on weekdays, he saw her sip. Although it was quite pleasing to the eye, he only ate a small bowl of rice every time.

Xiao Yu was so greasy in his stomach that no matter how unhappy she was, she couldn't eat the fat meat in front of him. Now she heard Xue Zhan say, "I will be busy these days. You go to bed earlier tonight, don't wait for me anymore."

The royal family has rules. Although he is good to her, he is also very particular about rules. He only saw her sleeping tiredly against a chair last night, and felt that these private rules were nothing... no one knew what was happening in the bedroom.

Xiao Yu nodded and agreed.

After Xue Zhan left after lunch, Xiao Yu was so tired that he frowned tightly. The barbarian was still picking a little and picked the fattest pieces for her.

Madam Yuan hurried forward and brought a plate of sour candied fruit to relieve her greasiness.

She naturally knew Xiao Yu's habits. She was shocked when she saw her eating the fat pieces quietly. At this moment, she looked at Xiao Yu's appearance and said earnestly: "The Empress is not happy, and she will not force you to eat even if she tells the emperor. Why...what can't do with yourself?"

How could she not be able to get along with herself? She had to thank Shengxiang for what the emperor gave her, let alone fat meat, and even something else.

The sweet and sour candied fruit finally solved the greasiness in her mouth, and Xiao Yu's heart calmed down.

However, Madam Yuan remembered that the emperor calmly put away the purse... The object clearly came from a woman's hand, and she had no explanation for the Empress, and Xiao Yu felt unfair...

No wonder my little daughter's family is a little unhappy.

She had doubts at first, thinking that the purse might not be the emperor, but now she had to think the same as the empress. Last night was the empress's birthday, so it would be fine if the emperor left the empress and left the palace alone, maybe she was with other women. She said, "Empress, should we check the purse matter?"

If it is really a woman, according to the emperor's attitude, Zhenzhi loves her first. In this way, it will naturally not be a good thing for her Empress.

Xiao Yu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No need." Now that she is in the palace, how can the emperor not know about her every move? If she investigated him because of this small matter, she might make him unhappy. And... even if she finds out something, what can she do?

She stood up and said to Madam Yuan, "I just pretend that this has never happened. If there are other things in the future... then let's talk about it."

If he had an old relationship outside and could not suppress his lust and had to go out to meet him all night, he might have been hidden for a long time.

"And..." Xiao Yu said again.

Madam Yuan listened carefully.

Xiao Yu said helplessly with a calm face: "I told the Royal Kitchen not to bring such fat meat to it in the future..." Her mouth was full of oil, and only the barbarian liked it.

Seeing Xiao Yu's expression, Madam Yuan couldn't help laughing. In fact, it would be nice to eat a few pieces of fat occasionally, but she didn't dare to say this, so she nodded and said, "I'll go over and say it now."

...

The spring is bright and Xiao Yuzhi invited a few friends from her boudoir to buy jewelry. After getting off the luxurious and fragrant car from the Duke's Mansion, several young girls of similar age all entered the jewelry shop, with all the fat and thin circles, and beautiful and noble, graceful and graceful, which was very eye-catching.

Xiao Yuzhi wore a pink spring shirt, a pink daffodil scattered green leaf skirt, and a bright beaded hairpin jewelry on her head, and her whole body shining in the sun. She has always liked to wear beautiful jewelry on her head, and what she disliked the most was her pretended elegant and noble dress.

Although this exquisite pearl hairpin made her feel too vulgar, the daughter of the Xiao family looked quite noble because she looked a bit noble.

During the palace banquet a few days ago, Xiao Yuzhi's reputation was indeed a bit damaged, but the women and noble ladies present were not blind. It was indeed Mrs. Guo and Zhang who bullied people too much... The Xiao family was the queen's mother's family, and it was too arrogant to beat the queen's cousin at the queen's birthday banquet!

The most taboo in the officialdom is to show off too much. Although Guo Antai has made great contributions, he is now a gentleman. But he is a mother who is trying to get close to the Guo family. After contacting Guo's mother, almost no one can tolerate her temper. Some want to marry her daughter into the Guo family, but because she is afraid of Guo's mother, those parents who really love their daughter also gave up this idea early.

Moreover, Zhang also personally apologized to Xiao Yuzhi for this matter, and the emperor was present. I am afraid that only the emperor could control this rural woman.

After all, Xiao Yuzhi was wronged and she felt bored, so she liked to buy some good-looking jewelry and clothes. However, she has seen a lot of new clothes recently, but none of them are comparable to the palace clothes given by the emperor before. She was not convinced and always had to find something better to feel more comfortable.

At this moment, Xiao Yuzhi went to the jewelry shop with the noble girls he had known for. She picked and chose. She didn't see what she really liked, so she wrapped up all the ones she thought were good. After all, she couldn't go home empty-handed.

Just as Xiao Yuzhi was bored, he picked out the beads in front of him, and saw a girl wearing a veil hat walking in. Xiao Yuzhi recognized the maid beside her. After seeing the girl entering the house, she took off the veil hat. This person...isn't Guo Suyi.

Xiao Yuzhi's eyes suddenly lit up.

Last time, Guo Suyi caught a fancy to a hairpin here. After asking about the price, she didn't look at it anymore, but in the end she didn't buy it casually without Xiao Yu.

In the past, Guo Suyi naturally wouldn't think of anything. After all, this hairpin was too expensive. But now, she is the elder sister of Lord Shangshu. So today, Guo Suyi took advantage of Zhang's release and came here, preparing to use the private money his brother gave her to buy the hairpin. However, she didn't expect that the hairpin was the only one.

Guo Suyi's eyes were dim.

... After hesitating for a long time, she finally made a decision. With enough money, the hairpin was gone long ago.

He was about to leave, but someone suddenly blocked his way in front of him. Guo Suyi looked at Xiao Yuzhi in front of him, and hurriedly came back to his senses and said, "Miss Xiao Wu."

Guo Suyi's body was taller than Xiao Yuzhi. At this moment, he stood in front of Xiao Yuzhi, as if he was shorter. Xiao Yuzhi looked at Guo Suyi's dress, smiled gently, and said, "What? Don't Miss Guo buy it? You'll leave after seeing it?"

Seeing Guo Suyi being stunned and said nothing, she leaned closer and said, "Is it because your stingy mother doesn't even spend some change for you? You still want to enter the palace as a concubine? Are you not afraid of losing the royal face?"

... Such a shabby and timid woman also wants to compete with Xiao Yu for a man?

Guo Suyi knew that Xiao Yuzhi must have resentment about what happened that day and did not intend to say much to her. But when she heard her talk about this, her face changed. She looked up at Xiao Yuzhi and said seriously: "Miss Xiao Wu, please don't talk nonsense."

She suddenly looked up, her eyes fixed, and Xiao Yuzhi was a little scared by her eyes.

But in an instant, he became coquettish again. Xiao Yuzhi said, "I'm talking nonsense? It's better than your old mother's random beating people. Although my mother told me not to care about it, I still feel unhappy. Miss Guo, right? Listen, I, Xiao Yuzhi, isn't easy to mess with. I will talk about you once when I see you in the future."

Some of the noble girls who came with Xiao Yuzhi also had contact with Guo Suyi. They were all aristocratic families that were in the previous dynasty of Jincheng. Now that the dynasty has changed, they actually asked them to please a village girl from the countryside. They have long been reluctant. However, because of the teachings of their parents, they cannot show it, and they are also respectful to Guo Suyi on the surface.

Now that they saw Xiao Yuzhi say this, Guo Suyi, they also felt angry.

Zhang was so arrogant that he could beat Xiao Yuzhi at will last time, and if he met them next time, he would probably not have any scruples.

When Guo Suyi saw the girls around her looking at her, pointing at her, her face full of ridicule. If it were other girls, she would probably cry on the spot. Guo Suyi was a stubborn person and only bit her lips, and the tears were rolling in her eyes.

Xiao Yuzhi said, "If I say a few words to you, you feel wronged. It's too much, right? You don't think about it. Last time your mother bullied me. If you want to blame, you blame your mother for bullying others. You can't blame others. Who said you are her daughter... Anyway, I, Xiao Yuzhi, is just unreasonable."

Guo Suyi then covered her face and ran out.

Looking at her leaving back, Xiao Yuzhi looked outside, raised her eyebrows and snorted, and said, "Who are you pretending to show me if you are poor?"

...

Xiao Yu received a good news from his father Xiao Huai. In the northwest, when his father took action, everything went smoothly. General Huo Ting and Xiao Huai also met too late, and they were very destined to be together. Xiao Yu knew that his father was not convinced by the new emperor, and now it was just a delaying strategy. Although he had 50,000 troops in his hands at this moment, it was far from enough if he wanted to do things.

She was still afraid that her father would be impulsive, but thinking about it was that her father was much more far-sighted than her, so she thought more thoughtfully than her.

So this time, my father won't do anything.

Madam Yuan brought her tea and whispered: "Empress, I heard that the emperor has left the palace again today."

I went out again... In the past, Xue Zhan was busy with everything he wanted, and although he stayed in Fengzao Palace every day, he mostly arrived late at night. Such a person with busy government affairs now has time to leave the palace every day.

Chunming, who was waiting on the side, also said, "I have heard that it is... it is said that the emperor raised a woman in a villa outside, so..."

"Don't talk nonsense." Madam Yuan immediately interrupted her.

Chunming then covered his mouth and stopped talking nonsense.

Xiao Yu's face was faint, as if he didn't take it seriously. After reading his father's letter, he went to the Imperial Garden for a walk.

After passing through Yanhe Gate, he walked to the highest point of the Imperial Garden. Xiao Yu saw a tall figure walking over and then slowly walked down.

It was He Chaoen.

He Chaoen was the emperor's close servant. This time he left the palace, he didn't even bring him. Seeing him bowing to him, Xiao Yu said, "Eunuch He doesn't have to be too polite."

He Chaoen was tall and looked much more elegant than ordinary men because of his eunuch. Xiao Yu remembered that on that day, He Chaoen also gave her a Duan inkstone. It was not a rare thing, but he also wanted to do what he wanted.

Xiao Yu had a good impression of him, so he talked to him about the barbarians.

The young queen was extremely beautiful and beautiful, with a jade bone. He Chaoen lowered his eyes, his eyelashes were lightly covered, and the sun shone on his face, and his skin was as white as jade. He replied: "I have never thanked the book given by the Empress before. After reading it, I have benefited a lot."

After all, she is still young and always wants to hear some words according to her wishes. He felt very good when she chose the book. Xiao Yu felt relieved when he heard it, so Zhan Yan said, "If Eunuch He likes it, I will give you some next time." Anyway, she has finished reading it and remembered it in her mind. Why not just do a favor and give it to He Chaoen.

After talking to He Chaoen for a while, Xiao Yu suddenly paused and showed a hesitation. He Chaoen looked at her face before smiling and said, "The Empress has something to say, but it's okay to say it."

So Xiao Yu was not polite. She said slowly: "The emperor has frequently left the palace these days. I am very worried and want to share his worries. Eunuch He is the person beside the emperor and knows more than I know. So I want to ask... The person the emperor saw when he left the palace is a woman?"

After saying the last word, Xiao Yu quietly looked at He Chaoen in front of him.

Seeing the queen's words were virtuous and gentle, He Chaoen knew it. His handsome eyebrows and gentle eyes were gentle. After a long time, he said, "It's indeed a woman."

...

Although Xiao Yu was surprised, he was also expecting it. He probably saw too much of his diligent appearance and felt that people like him would not abandon their government affairs for beauty. Besides, the new dynasty was first established and there was no time to completely relax and enjoy it. However, her relationship with this barbarian was limited after all, and she didn't know him well. Now it seems that she is not a lustful person! After returning from the Imperial Garden, Xiao Yu had already made plans in his heart.

Since he was so obsessed with the person outside the palace and it was no secret in the palace now, it means that he would most likely be brought in in the near future.

I think it was because she had just gotten married to her, and her father was still working for him in the northwest. At this critical moment, it was not suitable to accept a concubine. So I didn't mention it to her.

But what if... what the queen, she, personally proposed?

Anyway, she wants to enter the palace, so she might as well suggest that she would sell him a favor.

That day Xue Zhan returned late, and saw that Xiao Yu did not rest as he said, and was still waiting for him. As soon as he came in, he took off his clothes and undressed him, very considerate, thinking that she was thinking of him in her heart. Looking at her beautiful cheeks, Xue Zhan opened his arms and let her serve him closely, and from time to time he lowered his head and kissed her on the face.

After changing my clothes, I hugged her and got close to her: "I have been too busy these days, and I will be with you in two days."

Seeing that he was very tender, Xiao Yu was not moved. He only thought about the daytime incident and looked up at him and said, "I have something to discuss with the emperor."

"Well..." Xue Zhan responded, hugged her waist and said, "You say that, I'll listen."

Xiao Yu looked up at him, his pink blushing and beautiful eyes. The candlelight made her face shine with a warm soft light, and the young girl's voice was also sweet and pleasant.

She said slowly: "I didn't want to mention it first. But seeing that the emperor has always left the palace recently, I want to share the worries for the emperor... The sister outside always wants to enter the palace in the future. I think it's better to give her a title earlier so that the emperor can run back and forth."
