The next day, even though it was not the fifth and tenth day, Wen Xi went back to the palace to greet Ann as usual.Although the old lady is not young, she has been well maintained for many years, so she is in good spirits, "It's a pity, I thought Xiao Shiliu would be able to grow up in one fell swoop." The old queen mother couldn't help shaking her head, "In the end, I only got a girl! "

Wen Xi smiled and said: "Governor looks very lovely? When the full moon is over, will my concubine bring me to show you?"

The queen mother looked uninterested, and said: "Forget it, when you have a great-grandson, let's show it to Ai's family!"

Wen Xi already knew that the Queen Mother favored boys over girls, so she was not surprised by what she said, and only agreed with a smile.

The Empress Dowager carefully measured her warm and ruddy face, and exclaimed enviously: "The imperial concubine is in her forties this year? Looking at her face, she doesn't age at all! She's still so young!"

Wen Xi sighed slightly, and said: "The Empress Dowager can coax the courtiers and concubines to play, and the courtiers and concubines are all mamas, so how young can they be?"

The queen mother hummed, "Yes, the Niu Hulu family is also a famous family. Not only does it have you as the imperial concubine, but also two princes, Fujin! It really is limitless!"

Wen Xi smiled slightly and said: "The queen mother has won the award. Now the Guerjia family has the crown princess and Yinlu's Fujin, the Dong E family has the Sanfujin and Jiufujin, and the Niuhulu family is not the first one, so it's no big deal!" Elderly people should be afraid, can they come over?

The Empress Dowager didn't say anything else, she just waved a delicate-looking court lady who was standing beside her, and said: "Do you remember that Xiao Shiqi has no one in the room yet?"

Wen Xi immediately understood what the Empress Dowager meant, and knew that she could not hide this matter from the Empress Dowager.He could only say: "There are a few good-looking ones, but they are all maids. I guess he doesn't like them!" In fact, it was Wen Xi who ordered him to die, not to touch the maids around him!Yinli seemed to be very obedient and didn't touch anyone for the time being.Wen Xi ordered the little knife, and all the love in Yinli's room was sent to his son, and all of them were dismissed, so the rest should be honest now.

The queen mother said: "This girl is called Ruyi, and she is pretty. She can also play the pipa and sing ditties. Ask her to serve Xiao Shiqi."

Wen Xi got up and gave her a blessing: "The concubine will thank the queen mother on Yinli's behalf." What's the use of being beautiful, there are too many beautiful court ladies around Yinli, Wen Xi forbids him to touch, this is the same!

Wen Xi took this girl named Ruyi back.Indeed, the Empress Dowager has good eyesight, and she is a watery person, especially her hands, which are slender and plain, and she was born with hands that can play.Although the Queen Mother is old, she knows how to do what she likes!Those who were rewarded by the Queen Mother.Wen Xi couldn't hold it down anymore, so she called her elder brother to take care of her that day.

When Yinli came to pay his respects the next day.While rubbing his hands and licking his face, he smiled flatteringly: "Er Niang, that Xu Ruyi—"

"Maiden!" Two words came out of Wen Xi's lips.

Yin Li suddenly felt as if cold water had been poured on his head, and the colorful expressions on his face instantly subsided, and he replied woodenly: "My son knows."

Seeing his disappointed look, Wen Xi became angry, and couldn't help admonishing him: "I repeat. Don't touch the maids around you casually! If your claws are dishonest, be careful with your skin!"

Yin Li shrank his neck hastily: "My son doesn't dare!" Think about Lvtong's miscarriage.His own brother was beaten with criss-cross scars all over his body, Yin Li absolutely did not dare to confront his mother-in-law.

When Yinlu was injured, it was naturally not a glorious thing. He had a good face and refused to tell others. He left Chengqian Palace that day and went back wearing a thick cloak. He applied medicine, so not many people knew about Yinlu's beating.

Yinli took his elder brother as a lesson from the past, so naturally he didn't dare to act recklessly!

Wen Xiyu said earnestly: "It's not that I don't let you take a concubine!"

Yinlu secretly said in his heart: You don't even let me take a concubine, you don't even have a bed warmer to open the room!Seeing his own brother hugging left and right, so happy, he could only stare with envy!

"Let's talk about it after you get married!" Wen Xi said, this time she wants to be a good mother-in-law, at least don't let her be wronged before her husband gets married!

Yinlu counted the wedding date with his fingers, there is still more than a year left!Immediately wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Especially the Xu Ruyi that the Queen Mother gave you! You eat and drink as an offering, don't touch her!" Wen Xite emphasized, and then raised his eyebrows: "If the Queen Mother asks, you know how to answer it?"

Yinli nodded with tears in his eyes: "I know, my son just said that I don't like it."

"Yeah!" Wen Xi nodded very satisfied, this is a good son!

Wen Xi chose a sunny day, and invited Erniang Shushujue Luo to bring Wanxi to the palace, but Erniang and her old man brought Huining along.Well, it's not easy for Wen Xi to give her face. Now that the marriage is settled, and the kiss is added, it is always necessary to give face to Erniang and concubine.

It's just that Wen Xi never forgot when Hui Ning scolded Yin Li as "disabled".

Hui Ning seems to be especially good at talking today: "The slave and Er Niang have long thought of handing over the sign and entering the palace to kowtow, but they are just afraid of disturbing the imperial concubine! I didn't expect the imperial concubine and Er Niang to think of getting together!"

Reaching out to not hit the smiling face, not to mention that she is a younger brother and sister, and even a future in-law, Wen Xi showed an amiable smile: "My sister has become more and more quiet, so it can be seen that she is a mature girl!"

Wan Pei's face flushed slightly, she hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed, and shyly called out, "Auntie!"

Wen Xi nodded in satisfaction, and had to say that her concubine was a good girl, if it wasn't for the fact that the marriage of close relatives made her a little worried, her concubine was indeed a very good daughter-in-law!Asking Zhu'er to help her up, Wen Xi took off the mutton fat white jade double dragon play bead bracelet on her wrist, and put it on Wan Xie's white wrist with her own hands.

Wan Pei hastily retreated and said: "Auntie, this is not in compliance with the regulations!" If it was a jade pendant with ordinary patterns, no matter how expensive the texture was, she would not refuse it, but the carved dragon on the suet white jade was clearly a five-clawed dragon, and she wore it on her It's a violation of the rules on the wrist!

Wen Xi smiled and said: "It's okay! After next year, you can wear it in a legitimate way!" Only members of the royal family can enjoy the five-clawed dragon. Naturally, Fujin can also use it, but the number and color of the dragons used are limited. .Next to the dragon is the python.The dragon with four claws embroidered on the clothes is called the python robe, and it can also be rewarded to the courtiers.

Wan Pei took it shyly, but didn't dare to wear it, she just held it firmly in her hand, looking very precious.

Wen Xi asked Er Niang and Hui Ning, "How is the preparation for the dowry?" When Wen Xi asked, Wan Xi blushed up to her ears, and her head drooped vigorously, wishing she could bury it in her chest.

Shu Shu felt that Luo Shi was getting older now, but his body was still strong.The half-white hair is combed into a meticulous bun, and she looks very energetic. Now that her granddaughter is getting married, her face is becoming more and more radiant: "To add make-up to the whole family, my concubine is going to be a concubine, so of course I won't." It's bad! Our Cheng'en Gong's mansion is now the second Fujin. It's not unfamiliar, most of the time it's just the same as the seventh Fujin!"

Hui Ning also said: "A month ago, I purchased a new bolt of red sandalwood, all of which are century-old red sandalwood, and they have already been made under the ground. There are also silk and satin materials. There are several gold-woven satin rewarded by the imperial concubine in the mansion, and then people will go Jiangnan purchases some high-quality soft silk, Yang satin, brocade, and mist silk. It is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so naturally we must use good things!"

Wen Xi looked at Hui Ning's appearance.His brows and eyes were full of joy, not like the way he disliked Yinli back then, so he deliberately tested her: "My sister is the girl who has been promised, but... Yinli is not very good at hand, you are a mother-in-law, how can you help my daughter?" Feel wronged?"

When Hui Ning heard this, his face turned pale.Hastily knelt down: "Slaves dare not think so! Seventeenth elder brother is a noble man with a high character. Naturally, my sister is the one who climbs up!"

Wan Pei also hurriedly knelt down with her mother-in-law; "Auntie, Xie has never thought of this before!"

Wen Xi said with a smile: "My sister is well-behaved, of course I can trust her."

There was sweat on Hui Ning's forehead, the imperial concubine only said that she could trust her, she was indeed half relieved, but the imperial concubine never said that she believed her, which made Hui Ning suspend her heart again!Could it be that the imperial concubine can't trust her? !

Shu Shu felt that Luo Shi had no choice but to make peace with it: "Hui Ning was indeed a little ugly in the early years, but now that her daughter is about to get married, naturally she won't be the same as before!"

With Erniang saying this, even if Wen Xi doesn't give Hui Ning face, she still wants to show Erniang's face, and said: "Get up, I'm just talking casually, but you take it seriously."

Hui Ning touched his sweat secretly, stood up with Wan Pei's support, but dared not sit down, and stood behind his mother-in-law, looking like a young daughter-in-law who had just started, very humble and humble.

Wen Xi then turned to chatting with Er Niang, centering on Wan Xi's marriage, chatting casually.Hui Ning stood by and did not speak for a long while, but his concubine occasionally answered Wen Xi and Shu Shujue Luo's questions shyly.

Hui Ning's brows and eyes were a little anxious, and after being quiet for half an hour, he finally couldn't help but said: "I heard that the imperial concubine rewarded the seventeenth elder brother with an excellent concubine?"

There was no displeasure on Wen Xi's face, she called her concubine to her, and said to her seriously: "The queen mother rewarded Yinli with a girl named Xu."

When Wan Pei heard this, her heart ached, she bit her lips and said, "Yes, Xie understands."

Wen Xi stroked the bangs on her forehead with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, I secretly ordered Yinli to use her as a maid!"

Wan Yu's brows lit up with joy, then she rubbed her handkerchief and said, "Cousin Seventeen is the elder brother of the prince, so he should have a concubine."

Wen Xi patted her catkin, and said: "The aunt next to me can't guarantee it. The only thing I can guarantee is that there will be no concubines before you get started! When you get started, it's up to you Forget it, in the future, my aunt will never give Yinli to others!"

Wan Pei was so excited that the circles of her eyes were slightly red, and she hurriedly said, "Thank you, Auntie!"

Hui Ning also had tears in his eyes, Fushen said: "Thank you, Imperial Concubine, for protecting my concubine!"

After thinking about it carefully, Hui Ning didn't do anything excessive, but his mouth was a little bit poisonous, it's just that Wen Xi, a mother-in-law, can't allow others to speak ill of her son in secret.In fact, what Hui Ning said back then was also true!She may be inappropriate, but as a mother, she is still very qualified!As a mother, it is not too much to ask her daughter to marry a healthy man.Thinking of this, Wen Xi felt relieved, not to mention my concubine is a good girl!
