Dongyang curled his lips and said, "As for Concubine Xia and Xiyang? In front of my father, their reputation is not as high as mine. How can my father listen to them?"

Xun Xiang said obediently, "The Queen's grandmother specifically told me to stay away from court affairs, but I didn't tell her."

Dongyang said, "It's not about taking sides or court affairs, it's just about character impressions. Mom has always played well with Xiyang, and you have played well with Yingying, please help me."

In fact, Xunxiang can also bring words. There is a saying that "it is a disservice" and ruins their good deeds.

But Xunxiang didn't want to manipulate Dongyang. She accepted the gifts while her daughter took care of things.

This is not a good habit to form.

Moreover, she was repeatedly warned to have less contact with princes and princesses, but she refused to listen and dared to accept heavy gifts.

Xun Xiang said again, "Then I'll ask the Queen's grandmother, and I'll tell her what she told me."

Dongyang was so angry that he fell down. His mother's usual style was to clean up the troubles in front of the family, how could she get involved in other people's affairs.

If Shen Mou becomes the governor, Princess Xiyang will give him a Quanzhou trading house to specialize in overseas business. Not only are there rare foreign gadgets, but they are also extremely profitable.

She did this not for herself, but for her children. When she dies in the future, most of the family property in the house will be taken back by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Without earning more money, they will be the ones who suffer.

They say this girl is smart, but where is her smartness? Like a mallet.

Moreover, Shen Mou was able to beat the Japanese pirates so that they would not dare to invade, which also benefited the people of the Li Dynasty.

Dongyang's face darkened a little, and he moved to one side, and said in a deep voice, "I only help you by saying a few words, but you don't give me any face? My mother has already promised Xiyang, but if I can't get it done, I will be very embarrassed."

Xunxiang said, "The emperor's grandfather has eight grandchildren and nine maternal grandsons. The reason why he values ​​me particularly is because I am the direct granddaughter of the emperor's grandmother, and the other is because I position myself correctly and know what I should do. What not to do.”

There is also a third reason: I am blessed and wise. The fourth reason is the most important: flattering.

There is no need to mention these two reasons.

After a pause, Xunxiang said firmly, "I shouldn't do that thing, so I can't do it."

Just as he was talking, Prince Consort Xun came back.

It was rare for the prince-in-law to return home on time, and Dongyang had a smile on his face.

Xunxiang whispered to Prince Consort Xun what Xiyang asked Dongyang to do. She didn't dare to say that Xiyang gave Dongyang such a heavy gift, for fear that the couple would get into trouble and attract attention there.

Xun Consort's consistent understanding is that as long as what his daughter says is right, as long as Dongyang insists on his own opinion, everything is wrong.

He said, "Qingfeng is illiterate, so why bother flipping through books...Xiangxiang did the right thing."

The father and daughter vented their anger through one nostril, and they were even more afraid of making the Prince Consort angry. Princess Dongyang held back her anger and remained speechless.

The next day, Xunxiang and Dongyang went into the palace to visit Queen Ye.

Queen Ye only had Xunxiang in her eyes, and she couldn't bear to look elsewhere, not even wanting to give Dongyang a corner of her eye.

Dongyang couldn't help but say a few words to Queen Ye about how capable Master Shen was.

Queen Ye glanced at Eunuch Li from the corner of her eye and frowned.

He scolded, "I've told you before, don't talk too much about court matters. You can't teach such a big man no matter how you teach him. Okay, okay, you have seen me, go back. Yi Bo Xiu Mu's When the time comes, let him come and see me, I miss him."

Dongyang pouted and said, "The queen only wants her grandson and granddaughter, but not her daughter? I haven't seen my father for a few days, and I want to rest here today."

Empress Ye hugged Xunxiang and said, "I have a headache and can't stand the crowd. Please go back and come back another day."

Being disliked like this, no matter how thick-skinned Dongyang was, he was too embarrassed to stay any longer, so he had to get up and leave. When leaving, he gave Xun Xiang a threatening look. It means that the words must be brought to the emperor.

As soon as her figure disappeared, Xunxiang said into Queen Ye's ear, "Grandma the Queen, my mother asked me to say in front of the Grandfather the Queen..."

This sound cannot be heard by people in the distance, but Eunuch An and Eunuch Li standing nearby can definitely hear it.

Queen Ye's eyes narrowed, "Dongyang asked you to say it?"

"Well, I told her that the Queen's grandmother doesn't allow me to talk about things related to the court. I have to ask the Queen's grandmother first."

Queen Ye hugged Xunxiang tighter, "Good boy, you did the right thing. That stick in Dongyang needs to be dealt with again."

I thought to myself, go ahead and tell the truth, just don't let Xiangxiang tell me, and I'll make that person with a bad conscience angry to death.

The emperor heard that Xun Xiang came to Kunning Palace and came again before dinner.

He looked tired and unhappy.

Xunxiang pulled him and felt very distressed, "Thank you for your hard work, Grandpa Huang. Xiangxiang will give Grandpa Huang a pat on his head."

Seeing this little appearance and hearing the sweet and sweet voice, the emperor, who was in a bad mood all day, felt a little happy.

Those tender little hands moved freely on his head and forehead. They were not very strong, but they were itchy and comfortable.

It is said that the Tian family has no family ties, but he has the queen and Xiangxiang.

Xunxiang pressed the button and said, "Xiangxiang made ten tonic soup for the emperor's grandfather."

The last two pieces of Ganoderma lucidum from Jitoufeng were left at home, and Xunxiang brought them to make soup in the kitchen of Kunning Palace.

It is impossible for the emperor and the empress to drink the overnight soup. The soup is very thick and there are only two bowls.

Queen Ye smiled and said, "After cooking for two hours, Xiangxiang has been waiting in front of the stove."

The emperor grabbed a small hand and pulled Xunxiang to sit next to him. "I know that Xiangxiang is filial. I have been upset these past few days..."

He also talked about the dispute between courtiers.

For decades, the emperor had a habit of coming to Kunning Palace to talk when he was upset. Either he was looking for answers, or he was talking to the queen about his troubles that he didn't want to tell others.

The emperor's words have been handed over, and it is the best time for Xunxiang to take advantage of the situation and make a speech.

Xunxiang didn't say anything about what Dongyang told her. Like Queen Ye, she just expressed relief and didn't give any advice.

Even if she didn't see Eunuch Li's lowered eyes, she knew that he must be extremely anxious.

After the meal, the emperor waved his hand and all the other palace people left, leaving only the emperor's personal eunuch, Eunuch Qin, standing aside to serve.

Eunuch Li stood at the door and listened to the order. Eunuch An whispered, "Go to Baoyue Palace and tell Empress Xia that the Queen's neck is a little tight today. Ask her to take Xiping with her when she comes to pay her respects tomorrow..." "

Xiping is the female official next to Xia Bin, and she is good at massaging. Every time the emperor went to Xia Bin's place, he would ask Xiping to massage her. It's just that Xiping looks ordinary, so the emperor is not particularly interested.

Eunuch Li had no choice but to go.

Eunuch An winked at the people in the distance and stood at the door with his eyes lowered.

Two days later, Xunxiang went to Puguang Temple to pray for Mrs. Dong and to ask for a string of Buddhist beads from Master Mingyuan for Dongyang. There is another secret mission. The emperor wants to go to Puguang Temple to pray for blessings and meet Master Mingyuan again.

The sons are getting more and more restless, and there seems to be something strange happening along the southeast coast. The emperor wants to ask Master Mingyuan to make a divination.
