into the bosom

Chapter 97
"Shou'an has a heart!" The queen mother had tears in her eyes, but a real smile on her face, and nodded approvingly towards Wei Wuniang.

"Wu Niang is very filial, she just wants to make the Empress Dowager smile, and wish the Empress Dowager a prosperous future and a long life!" Wei Wuniang said with a bow.

After saying a few more words on the scene, Wei Wuniang backed away, and stood to the side with Wang Wan.

Both of them were silent and did not speak.The smile on Wang Wan's face was a bit far-fetched, and Wei Wuniang, even if she tried her best to hold herself back, could not suppress her complacency overflowing from the corners of her brows and eyes.

After the two of them passed, it was Xu Jiao's turn.

Xu Jiao stepped forward and saluted the Empress Dowager, Emperor Xian, the Empress and others, and said with a little embarrassment, "The dancing posture of the two county lords made people linger and forget to return, and won applause from all the halls, but it made Yingyue very nervous. Yingyue I'm afraid the birthday gift I prepared is a little too ordinary, and I'm afraid it won't be in the eyes of noble people."

"No matter what you give, it's all your wishes. How can the Ai family distinguish between high and low?" The queen mother said with a smile.

"Yes! It seems that Yingyue drew a picture? Come on, unfold it for me and the queen mother to see!" Emperor Xian noticed that one of the two servants behind Xu Jiao was holding a scroll in his hand.

Xu Jiao leaned forward and said, "Yingyue has nothing else to do, only one-handed painting skills that I can barely handle. I just use this painting to wish the Queen Mother a long life and long cypresses!"

While talking, Xu Jiao signaled the two servants to open the scroll.It was a picture of Avalokitesvara, but it was drawn very finely, as if the Avalokitesvara was lifelike, the most important thing...

"Mother, I see that Guanyin's face looks familiar. If you look closely, isn't it the mother?" Emperor Xian stared at it for a moment, then said with a smile.

Regardless of whether the rest of the people had noticed it before, they followed Emperor Xian's words and started talking one after another.

Amidst these words, Xu Jiao exited the stage calmly, and returned to sit beside the eldest princess, the smile on her face was still as sweet as ever.

Against the background of the two dances just now, her picture of Guanyin is really not that brilliant, but with the blessing of painting skills, it is also quite satisfactory, as long as there is no mistake.

Xu Jiao didn't seem to care about it at all. Seeing this, the eldest princess smiled slightly, not surprised by favor or humiliation, she was quite stable.

After presenting the birthday gift, a banquet was held, during which Xu Jiao was anxious and took Ban Lan to the Gong room.Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out of Gong's room, he was stopped halfway and dragged by his wrist all the way to a dark cave in a secluded rockery.

"Isn't Governor Helian crazy?" Xu Jiao reprimanded in a low voice until he entered the cave, and after a little struggle, Helian Shu let go of her without hesitation.

But he snorted coldly, "Do you think that if you don't bring Nexus by your side, I will be scruples and let you go?"

I'm afraid this person can read minds, right?Xu Jiao paused in his heart, but frowned on his face, and asked in confusion, "What is Governor Helian talking about? Didn't I tell you earlier that there are our old acquaintances in this Ziyiwei, those who The Ziyiwei are all hiding their heads and showing their tails. Who knows who they are when they take off their masks? At that time, Lixue had fought against them. It would be bad if they were recognized, so it is better to hide in such an occasion good."

This is the truth, as for whether there are other effects... Even if there is, it cannot be said by killing.

"Are you only worried about the snow?" He Lianshu raised his eyebrows, his eyebrows were cold and his tone was cold.

Xu Jiao understood the deep meaning in it immediately, "I heard from Lingxue that you all covered your face at that time, right? Lingxue only wore a fence. What's more, with the mind of the governor of Helian, it must be done. I have made all the preparations, so there is no need for me to worry."

"You have confidence in me. However, I thought you didn't bring a burden because you were guilty and dared not see me!" He Lianshu's tone was quiet, the tails of his eyes twitched slightly, and he looked sideways at Xu Jiao.

Xu Jiao's heart skipped a beat, but his face was even more astonished, "Where did Governor Helian say this? Why would I feel guilty? But, I really didn't expect that Governor Helian would be so bold as to be in this palace." Let's meet again, the maid who followed today is not mine!"

"Don't worry! Since I dare to do it, I expect her to dare not say a word." He Lianshu's eyes were half-closed, and his tone was calm and calm, but the arrogance that looked down on the world permeated everyone. A strand of hair.

Xu Jiao laughed dryly, "The governor of Helian is naturally a good means, but...if someone finds out that you and I have a personal relationship, it will be of no benefit to you or me. After all, our identities cannot be passed. Residents suspect and scrutinize. So in the future..."

Before she could say anything in the future, her wrist was already tightened, and she was grabbed again. Her eyes dimmed, and a figure approached silently. Xu Jiao stepped back subconsciously, her back resting on the rockery wall, The hand that was bound was firmly nailed to the side of the ear.

Xu Jiao raised her eyes in astonishment. After the chair was thumped, was she being thumped by the wall again?Governor Helian has changed his identity, so he's playing the domineering president?
Xu Jiao frowned and struggled twice, "What's wrong with you? Let me go!"

He Lianshu was not moved at all, staring at her with cold star-like eyes, "I don't know, you are really doing it for your own good, but you want to use this reason to break the connection between you and me. "

"What? I'm afraid that people will find out that you and I are involved, and it will affect your good deeds, Princess Yingyue? I heard that you are inquiring about the reputation of those gentlemen from the Jiedushi's mansion, and you pay special attention to Mr. Li Erlang? Could it be possible, That day at the racecourse, the princess fell in love with Mr. Li Erlang at first sight, so why don't you marry him?"

His voice was deep and cold, but the corners of his lips could be drawn lightly, and there was a sense of mockery between the lines.

Xu Jiao's heart sank, "Captain Helian misunderstood!"

"Oh?" He Lianshu raised his eyebrows, "Tell me what I misunderstood? I misunderstood that when you saw Mr. Li Erlang at the racecourse that day, your eyes lit up? I misunderstood that you tried every means to get rid of me? Or is it a misunderstanding? Did you specifically inquire about Mr. Li Erlang?"

This one-by-one problem is really poking a hornet's nest.Xu Jiao silently greeted Jing Da Peacock in his heart, who failed to succeed and failed, but his expression was gloomy, and he curled his lips with a bitter smile and said, "I didn't expect that once we met, it would also It's life and death together, but you look at me like this."

She raised a pair of black and white eyes and looked at him earnestly, "When we were together, I told you many times that as long as you asked, I would stay, but you never asked me to stay, you And you never believed what I said to you, did you?"

As Xu Jiao said, tears welled up in her eyes, sad and aggrieved, she lowered her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "That's all! Just treat it as a wrong payment with all my heart, but I can't be treated like this by you." I am wronged. I asked my elder brother to help me inquire about the reputation of those gentlemen from Jiedushifu, but what can I do? Does Governor Helian know my current situation? If His Majesty orders me, I can still resist No way? Governor Helian is in control, don't you want to watch me being given away as a marriage tool?"
