blue bird song

Chapter 125 Smart and Brave (2)
After Empress Qi became pregnant, Empress Shao took Xiaoyong to Qingxing Palace and forbade him to come back at night.Xiaoyong was clamoring for his father and mother, so the Empress Dowager Shao coaxed him softly, "Your mother is not very well, Xiaoyong is good, and lived with grandma for a year or so, okay?" Le, Xiaoyong, domineering and unreasonable younger brother, when you have younger siblings, you will fall into the same situation as us.You still want to stay with your parents in Kunning Palace, how could it be such a good thing, live alone, the prince's house.

"I think back when I was the only son of my parents, I was very favored." Although Xiao Congcong was half a teenager, recalling the past, he looked childish.

"I think back then, when there was no Xiaoyong, I was still favored by my parents and grandmother." Xiao Mingming was very cooperative and expressed his gratitude.

The two looked at Xiaoyong full of sympathy, with deep compassion in their eyes.Xiaoyong, you will soon know how we felt, you have to hold on!
Little Courage lost his temper, and was coaxed to bed by Queen Mother Shao.He had always slept next to the pillow, and fell asleep soundly soon after lying down.The long eyelashes drooped quietly, and two red clouds floated on the snow-white face. The sleeping Xiaoyong was very cute.

Shi Niang was the first to get the news, and she was very happy to hear the news. She brought Lin Xin and Ying Niang to the palace to visit Qing Que.When they came, Qingque was talking with Queen Mother Shao in Qingxing Palace, adding them made it even more lively.

"You must always think of my little disciple and grandson in your heart." The teacher explained earnestly, "Don't think about boys, you know? Think about naughty and cute little girls, think about you when you were young."

Yingniang's face was full of love, "Niu Niu, when you were just born, it was so painful! Give birth to a little Niu Niu, give birth to a little Niu Niu who is exactly like you."

Qing Que generously handed over her hands and promised, "I will fulfill my mission and give birth to a lively, lovely, pink and jade-carved little girl who everyone loves!"

Empress Dowager Shao laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth.

After the meal, several people sat around and chatted about the daily life.Qingfeng's marriage to Ying's family has already been decided, and she will marry this autumn. The bride is the daughter of Su Shidu of the Imperial Academy, a girl from a scholarly family, knowledgeable, virtuous and generous.Qi Zhen and Yingniang are very satisfied that they can appoint such a daughter-in-law.Lin Xiaotian, who was about the same age as Qingfeng, was a girl who couldn't be chosen after thousands of choices, and her marriage was still uncertain.Master, master, and wife are fine, but grandfather Jing Cheng was in a hurry, and urged Lin Xiaotian several times to marry a wife and have children as soon as possible, so that he could hug his great-grandson.

"I'm a good person, let's hold a flower viewing party in the palace." Qing Que said very understandingly: "Invite girls of the right age and family background, and see if there is a match for your eyes."

"I don't care about it, he can marry whoever he wants." Mistress didn't care, "As long as he likes it, his grandfather and father nod, I will never refuse."

The teacher's wife is really unusual, she is not picky about her daughter-in-law, as long as Lin Xiaotian likes it, she will accept it.But Lin Xiaotian was too difficult to deal with, he couldn't match any girls.

"Actually, I don't have high requirements, as long as I'm not too different from my sister." Lin Xiaotian once set such a standard.

The emperor laughed at him, "You will be a bachelor all your life! There is no woman in the world who can match your sister!"

"A girl who is worthy of my younger brother must be very spiritual." Qing Que enthusiastically said to her aunt and mistress: "It's not too late for a good meal, you two don't worry, Lin Xiaotian is a kind child, and he will marry as he likes." Desirable lady."

"I accept your auspicious words." Mistress cupped her hands at her.

Yingniang pursed her lips and smiled beside her.Xiaotian is really picky, Su Shidu has a good daughter in his family, he wanted to tell him, but he just saw the portrait and refused.In fact, that girl is really nice, Xiaotian's vision is too high.Alas, if Xiaotian hadn't had too high a vision, why would he be unmarried?He is the eldest grandson of the uncle's mansion and the cousin of the emperor's aunt, and his talents are outstanding. There are too many families in the capital who want to marry their daughters to him.

"We don't dare to compare with the Lin family." Yingniang thought contentedly, "My daughter-in-law is a good girl from a scholarly family, dignified and generous, courteous and sensible, that's enough."

Yingniang was originally Qi Yu's maidservant, she never dreamed that one day she would meet such a responsible man as Qi Zhen, and would become Mrs. Xuancheng Uncle and the Queen's mother.Yingniang is already contented to be able to have what she is today, and she has no extravagant hopes.

Shi Niang and Ying Niang explained countless things to Qing Que before reluctantly leaving.Qingque sent them to the gate of the palace, "You two, when I see me again, I will become fat and bloated." Mistress understands her best, and kindly comforts her, "No, even if you are pregnant, your figure will not be the same. It won't be bloated." Yingniang also hurriedly said: "Niu Niu is born beautiful, and she will become pregnant in the future, and she will also be a beautiful pregnant woman!" Qingque was very happy.

"The two of them really have vision." Qing Que watched Shi Niang and Ying Niang leave, full of relief.

Two days later, Qi Yu and Xue Yang also came into the palace to see Qing Que and congratulate Qing Que.Qi Yu asked politely, "Is there any discomfort? Is there anything I really want to eat?" Qing Que smiled and said, "Xiao Gan is more naughty than her brothers and loves to toss people around. In the past, Huai Xiaocong, When I was with Xiao Ming and Xiao Yong, I didn't feel anything. When I got to Xiao Gan, I often felt tired and sometimes very irritable, and I wanted to lose my temper with her father."

The emperor is also quite pitiful.It is a happy event for a wife to be pregnant, but her temper has turned bad and she loves to torment others. The emperor has to be busy in the previous court, and he has to be careful with his wife when he returns to the harem. It is very hard work.

There was a smile in Qi Yu's eyes.It is gratifying that the emperor is so kind to Qingque.

Xue Yang was quite envious, "Brother-in-law is already the emperor, it's really rare to accommodate my sister like this." Qingque smiled, "He's not accommodating me, he is accommodating the child in my belly. He is looking forward to having a baby. Where's the girl?"

With a thought, Xue Yang took Qing Que's arm, and asked kissingly: "Sister, if you give birth to a little princess, come down to my house, okay? Brother Qian let my brother and brother choose with my sister!"

Qi Yu frowned slightly, and looked at Xue Yang disapprovingly.What's so good about Shangzhu?To be a son-in-law, I have wronged and let my brother.

Qing Que was surprised, "Isn't the age difference too big? Ayang, Brother Qian is ten years old, right? Brother Rang is also six or seven years old."

Xue Yang was half serious, half joking, "What's the point? Let them wait." Qingque thought for a while, smiled and shook her head, "It's not right. A Yang, the age difference is too big, the two children are not suitable."

According to Qingque's temperament, she wanted to tell A Yang directly, "It is impossible for us to get married. My daughter will not marry someone with the blood of the Shen family, and my son will not marry a woman with the blood of the Shen family."

A Yang, ever since you married Deng Zhihan, you should understand that Deng Zhihan has blood from the Deng family and Shen family on his body. Qi Qingque will not harm him or plot against him, but he will not help him either. He would not mention him, let alone marry Deng Zhihan's children.Among Qi Qingque's descendants, no one should have the blood of the Shen family on them.

Qing Que is always soft-hearted towards A Yang, and can't bear to hurt her, so she just prevaricates it with her age.Xue Yang was very disappointed, "The age is not suitable, what a pity." Qing Que agreed with her face, "Yes, what a pity."

Qi Yu saw Xue Yang's expression, words and deeds, and was puzzled.Does Ayang want to marry the princess as his daughter-in-law? It's strange.It is not a good thing for a mother-in-law to have a daughter-in-law of a princess.When an ordinary daughter-in-law comes in front of her mother-in-law, she must be respectful, and the mother-in-law can put on airs of an elder and gain authority in the inner house.If it is a princess's daughter-in-law, she is the emperor, and the mother-in-law is the minister. When the mother-in-law sees her, she must be careful with her and not to be subdued to death.

Xue Yang came here full of hope, but was rejected by Qing Que without any room for negotiation, so he couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.However, she has been out of the cabinet for many years, managing the inner house, giving birth to children, and she is no longer the innocent and carefree girl she used to be.

When she was a girl, she could tell Qing Que innocently, "If you marry King Jin, I won't like you anymore." Now that the world has changed, she won't say such naive words anymore, and she also knows that such a threat is harmful to Qing Que. Finches are useless at all.Qing Que is her older sister, and she loves her very much, but if Qing Que says she can't do some things, then she really can't.

"Brother-in-law wants a little girl? Sister, then you eat more spicy food, sour and spicy." Xue Yang said awkwardly.

Qing Que smiled and touched her stomach, full of confidence, "A Yang, my sister will give birth to a little girl, who will have both girls and boys. Once Xiao Gan is born, four smart and brave brothers and sisters will be together!"

Xue Yang pouted, "It's a pity that my sister's little girl can't be my daughter-in-law, I can't love her well." Qing Que laughed, "You are her aunt, why can't you love her well? Do you have to be her mother-in-law to love her well?" No?"

Ayang is really a child taught by the fairy lady, and his thinking is so similar to that of the fairy lady.Qingque somehow recalled the past, smiled and shook her head.

Xue Yang was a little embarrassed, "Sister said yes, I was wrong." Qi Yu couldn't bear to see her embarrassment, and interrupted, "The children are still young, and we can discuss it after the marriage. But Ah Hui, You are really not young, you should worry about his marriage."

Xue Yang clapped his hands, "That's right, Ah Hui will never marry a wife, that's fine! Mom, I've seen several girls from several houses for him, and all of them are good. Let's have a big banquet when you celebrate your birthday." , I’ll invite all the girls here, take a closer look.”

Qingque smiled and said nothing.

Qi Yu looked at Qing Que inquiringly, Qing Que smiled, "A Hui will return to Beijing soon. When he comes back, Aunt and Uncle will discuss getting married for him. Don't worry, Aunt, A Hui is struggling in the northwest. After a few years, I have already experienced it, and I will not have a childish temper, and insist on wrangling with my parents."

"Ah Hui is coming back?" Qi Yu and Xue Yang were both surprised and delighted.Ah Hui is also true, he is about to return to Beijing, and he didn't write a letter to tell his family!This dead boy needs to be cleaned up.

"Yes." Qingque smiled and nodded.

Xue Yang was very happy, and complimented playfully, "Sister, you really know everything, you know everything."

Xue Yang just knew that his younger brother was going back to Beijing, so he was overjoyed and flattered him casually.After hearing this, Qing Que was very proud of herself, "Of course!"

General Qi Qingque is well aware of the military movements of the entire celestial dynasty!The emperor didn't understand military affairs, so he had to ask General Qi Qingque for advice from time to time. General Qi Qingque always taught him generously, but he didn't stop.

The smile spread from the corners of the lips to the corners of the eyes and brows, and Qing Que was full of joy.

When Qi Yu saw such a young bird, a handsome young face suddenly appeared in his mind, he smiled happily, and looked at himself so affectionately...

Recently, Qi Yu often thinks back to his teenage years, and his heart, liver and lungs hurt when he thinks about it, and he wants to die.Lost, that beautiful young man, with deep affection like the sea, lost forever.

After hastily confessing a few words to Qing Que, Qi Yu took Xue Yang to leave.

Xue Hui returned to the capital not long after.He returned to Beijing with Shaanxi Governor Mu Tong. He went back to Beijing to visit relatives, and Governor Mu returned to Beijing to meet Sheng and report on Shaanxi defense, taxation and grain.After returning to the capital, Xue Hui went to the palace before he could return to Wuhou Mansion of Yangyang.

When Xue Hui reached the palace gate, he got off his horse and was stopped by the guards guarding the gate.Xue Hui cupped his hands politely, "Xue Hui is in Wuhou Mansion in Xiayang, if you have something to see Empress Qi, please let me know."

"The empress is something you can imagine if you want to see it?" The guard guarding the gate put on a straight face and wanted to drive him away.The guard thought that his ears were not very good, so he didn't hear the words "Yangwuhoufu".If he heard it, he would be able to figure out that this is the Queen's relative.

Xue Hui frowned, and was about to argue with the guards, when he heard the sound of horseshoes, and a red BMW galloped towards him like a whirlwind.The knight on the horse is very beautiful, his complexion is like the first snow in winter, and his eyes are like cold stars in the night, shining brightly.

He flew off the horse, and the guard nodded and bowed to salute, "Mr. Lin, you are here!" Lin Xiaotian ignored the guard, and smiled at Xue Hui, "Ah Hui, I haven't seen you for a few years, you are much older!" Xue Hui touched Touching his chin, "I feel the same way."

The two looked at each other for a moment, smiled and hugged, "I miss you."

Konoe was a little dumbfounded seeing the two of them being so affectionate.

Lin Xiaotian let go of Xue Hui and told Jinwei, "This is the queen's cousin, the second son of the Marquis of Yangwu." Jinwei hurriedly accompanied him, but Xue Hui waved his hand indifferently, "Those who don't know are not guilty." Lin Xiaotian entered the palace together.

"Are you coming to see my sister?" Xue Hui asked casually.

"No, I'm here to ask my sister to do something." Lin Xiaotian smiled slightly.

"Coincidentally, I also came to ask my sister to do something." Xue Hui also smiled.

The emperor was taking a break from his busy schedule, and was walking in the back garden of the palace with his pregnant wife.Hearing that Lin Xiaotian and Xue Hui came together, the emperor thought they were a disappointment, but he still ordered, "Xuan."

Really seeing people, looking at my good cousin, Xue Hui who looks a little like Qingque, the emperor still likes it very much.Empress Qi smiled like a flower, "Lin Xiaotian, Ah Hui, how did you two get together?" Seeing her two younger brothers, she was very happy.

Xue Hui and Qing Que hadn't seen each other for many years, so they were a bit restrained, so they slowly talked about their affairs in the northwest.In fact, even if he didn't say it, Qingque knew it.However, Qing Que still smiled and Mimi listened, very happy.

Lin Xiaotian waited patiently for the two of them to talk, and stretched out his hand to pull Qing Que aside, "Sister, I just saw a girl on Dengshi Street..." Qing Que was overjoyed, "Lin Xiaotian, have you met a beautiful woman? The beauty is not shallow. "Lin Xiaotian blushed, "Sister, I actually didn't see a girl. To be precise, I heard a girl's voice and saw a corner of her skirt."

He only heard voices and saw only a corner of the skirt, and that was it.Qing Que looked at him with adoring eyes, "Lin Xiaotian, so you are not a heartless person, but an infatuated person." One who doesn't like the other, once fell in love, it is so touching.

The two of them were talking in a low voice, Xue Hui couldn't wait, coughed, "Sister, I have something to tell you." Qing Que's eyebrows curved in a smile, "Lin Xiaotian told me a funny thing, Ah Hui , you also have something good to tell your sister? My sister is here." Walking to Xue Hui, looking at him with a smile, waiting to hear the good news.

Xue Hui blushed, and stretched out his hand to lead her to a secluded place, "Sister, I went back to Beijing with Lord Mu. Lord Mu has a family member, his wife, and a fourteen or five-year-old woman. Miss……"

Qing Que was happy, "Ah Hui likes her little girl, right?" Xue Hui said in a low voice, "Ms. Mu is very strict with her boudoir precepts, so I won't see her anytime soon. But the inn is small, so it's inevitable that we will bump into each other sometimes."

Qing Que really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh, in one day, Lin Xiaotian and Ah Hui's marriage was settled, today is a good day!

The emperor strolled over, "What are you talking about? I'll listen too." Qing Que winked at him, "Ah Hui has a crush! Master Mu's daughter!" The emperor was very surprised, "Which Master Mu The one who is the governor of Shaanxi? This man is extremely talented. I remember that he came from a wealthy family, and he has a lot of family background. His daughter's tutor, he must be able to get by."

Lin Xiaotian was also in a hurry, at first he could hold back when he saw his sister whispering to Xue Hui, but now that his cousin had passed by, he also leaned over and said courteously: "Sister, I'm afraid that someone will snatch her away, Go and make it up for me!"

Qing Que fell down with a smile, "Okay, it's settled, I'll make it for you. Which one is it? You didn't seem to say it just now."

The emperor was very surprised, "Cousin, you also have a master?" A woman similar to your sister has been found?Cousin, you are in luck.

Lin Xiaotian was embarrassed, "I asked, the house she walked into was Mr. Mu's house, Governor of Shaanxi. As for who she is, I don't know yet."

The emperor rubbed his nose, Xiaotian, you are really good, and you didn't even know who the girl is, so you came to find your sister.Dare to love your sister not only to be a matchmaker for you, but also to find out who the girl is.

Xue Hui turned pale, Qing Que was dumbfounded.

Seeing Qing Que's expression, Lin Xiaotian also felt that something was wrong, so he suddenly stopped talking.

The emperor was baffled.

For a while, it was very quiet.
