Dressed as the mistress of the Hou family, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

"Is this sent to fill your throat?" Granny Yuan found it strange and joked, "Although Xiao Shen is not in the capital, he always thinks about the Hou Mansion."

Fang Xu lowered his eyes, and the Qiuli paste in his arms seemed like a hot potato. He didn't know what he thought of, but Fang Xu suddenly darkened his face and called softly, "Baiji."

Bai Ji took two steps forward and whispered, "Madam."

"Go and check to see if anyone is watching our house." Fang Xu frowned, his tone was calm, and there was a hint of displeasure.

Bai Ji was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses and responded in a low voice, "Yes, I will go right away."

Seeing Bai Ji coming and leaving in a hurry, Grandma Yuan let out a long sigh and shook her head helplessly, "You, you, you are just like a fool. Your first thought was to rule out the informants when someone sent you something with good intentions. After all, you are too vigilant. , or stone-hearted?”

Fang Xu curled his lips and defended softly, "Mom is joking, but my daughter just feels that if Shen Jin can unknowingly put people in to keep an eye on the Hou Mansion, then others can too. This is a hidden danger and must be investigated."

Grandma Yuan looked at the Qiuli paste that was placed carelessly on the table, with a look of regret on her face, "You have been a widow for many years, and there is no one around you who can talk. Now you finally meet Xiao Shen, and the children are all grown up and have started their own families. If you have thoughts of remarrying, no one will dare to criticize you while your mother is here."

"Xiao Shen is very kind to you, and my mother also sees it. If you are lonely for the rest of your life, you might as well give him a try."

Fang Xu had a smile on his face, and although his tone was gentle, there was a hint of strength that could not be rejected, "I understand my mother's thoughts and my feelings, but Shen Ji's current official position is not high and he cannot be with me."

"I am a marquise, and I have a royal decree. If I want to get married, I can't marry down."

"Xiao Shen is now the Minister of Secretariat, and after all, he occupies the second rank, but you think his official position is not high?" Granny Yuan couldn't hide her surprise and lowered her voice quickly, "My dear, don't you want him to rebel? Bar?"

"What are you talking about, mother?" Fang Xu found it funny and couldn't help laughing, "If my ambition is really that big, I should be the one to plan it. What's the point of relying on him?"

Grandma Yuan was stunned and waited for a long time before murmuring, "Mother really looks down on you..."

Fang Xu laughed out loud, took the spoon handed by Su Zi, scooped out a small spoonful of Qiuli paste, and slowly put it into his mouth.

Somehow, the image of a man sitting on a small bench peeling pears suddenly appeared in his mind, and the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably.

Yunxidian

At three quarters of noon, the twenty imperial dishes on the table were already cold. The woman in charge had a cold face, as if she was not interested in the table of delicious food, and allowed the heat to dissipate.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is here." The little palace maid trotted into the hall, looking excited.

Hearing this, Yun Qinghe's eyes lit up and his whole person became alive. He slowly stood up and walked towards the entrance of the palace.

After taking only two steps, he saw Yuan Chen walking into the hall.

Yun Qinghe paused, bowed to him, and said softly, "I have met the emperor."

The corners of dark clothes broke into Yun Qinghe's eyes, and the next moment, a big hand with distinct joints fell in front of him.

"I promised to have lunch with you, but I was late in approving the memorial. It's my fault."

Yun Qinghe raised his head in surprise and looked into Yuan Chen's gentle and clear eyes.

Looking at the young emperor in front of him, Yun Qinghe pursed his lips, a blush appeared on his cheeks, and handed his little hand to his palm.

Yuan Chen used some strength on his hands to lift her up and took her hand towards the table. The servants in the palace were all human spirits. When they saw the emperor coming, they hurriedly removed the cold dishes and rekindled the fire in the small kitchen.

The palace maid brought the tea to the table and placed it next to Yuan Chen. She did not forget to praise her master, "My queen is afraid that the emperor will be too busy to drink water, so she has been warming the tea that the emperor likes to drink."

Hearing this, Yuan Chen's expression softened a bit, he patted the back of Yun Qinghe's hand and whispered, "The Queen is interested."

Yun Qinghe looked shy, and in front of his sweetheart, he no longer looked cold and aloof like before. "The emperor likes me, and my concubine's actions have meaning."

Yuan Chen curled up the corners of his lips, looking uninterested, and one cheek was also a little red.

Yun Qinghe looked at him, puzzled, and spoke cautiously, "I see that the emperor's eyebrows are filled with sorrow, but what troubles have you encountered?"

Yuan Chen sighed softly and waved his hand casually. Zhuo Ming behind him reacted and asked the palace attendants to retreat. Only the emperor and empress were left in the huge palace.

Yuan Chen stared at the tea cup in front of him, looking a little dazed, and said in a deep voice, "Qinghe, I'm so anxious in my heart. I always feel that I have done something wrong, but I don't want to think about it in detail."

Yun Qinghe looked at his profile, the redness and swelling on his face was very eye-catching, his brows furrowed slightly, and he boldly guessed, "The emperor... went to see his mother?"

In the whole world, the only one who dares to attack the emperor is the one from Shoukang Palace.

Yuan Chen closed his eyes and nodded his head gently.

Yun Qinghe was puzzled and asked softly, "Why did the emperor have a disagreement with his mother?"

Yuan Chen was silent for a long time before giving an ambiguous answer, "Someone in the court deliberately targeted the Yongcheng Hou Mansion. I was negligent and allowed them to do what they did, which fueled their arrogance and hurt the Marquis Mansion's heart. "

Yun Qinghe was stunned and opened his mouth, but he really didn't know what to say.

She just felt that the emperor was crazy.

"The Queen Mother was furious. After scolding me, she sent Lin Sheng to apologize to the Yongcheng Hou Mansion." Yuan Chen looked confused, his eyes full of incomprehension, "I can't figure out why in the Queen Mother's heart, it is Yongcheng Hou's house." Is Chenghou Mansion more important?"

"Your Majesty..." Yun Qinghe held his arm and persuaded softly, "The queen's actions are clearly to protect us."

Yuan Chen was stunned and stared at her without saying a word.

Yun Qinghe pursed his lips, and his voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for him to hear clearly, "Although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, this matter is indeed a great injustice to the Yongcheng Houfu. I have something to say, but I still want to say it." I hope the emperor will not blame you."

Yuan Chen held her hand and said in a deep voice, "You are the Queen of Dayan and the mother of a country. What can't you say?"

Yun Qinghe Gouchun smiled and expressed his opinions in detail, "Yongcheng Houfu is a meritorious family, not to mention how many achievements the deceased Marquis made for Dayan, just talk about the Xie family The second son has been with the emperor for a long time. How could you not know what kind of person he is and what he has done for the emperor?"

"Suppressing the Hou Mansion for no reason will not only hurt Mr. Xie's heart, but also alienate other loyal ministers. How can those people not understand the truth of the relationship between lips and teeth?"

"If it weren't for the late emperor's confrontation with the Song Dynasty..." Yun Qinghe paused, knowing that it was wrong, and changed his words, euphemistically saying, "The hundred officials in the court, half of them are civil and military, and there are many generals stationed in the capital, but the rebels are planning to rebel. On that day, the late emperor couldn't even summon a team. Your Majesty, think about it carefully, why is this?"

Yun Qinghe's words reached Yuan Chen's ears, seeming to ring an alarm bell in his heart, causing him to wake up suddenly.
