Chapter 194 Misidentifying the Pearl
King Wu's back turned cold, and when he mentioned Xu Jialan, his voice changed: "Marquis Ding'an is a fool, he even regarded a woman like Lin as his wife, Xu Jialan is not only from a bad background, but also behaves like Lin Ordinary, even bad for King Xiang. Marrying a wife and virtue, such a woman is not allowed to enter the palace even if she comes from a wealthy family. Jiatong, you are different from her. If you have someone you like, this palace will definitely help you Your wish has come true. It’s just that once you enter the palace, it’s as deep as the sea, and it’s better for your marriage to be outside the palace. This palace will definitely plan for you.”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, my daughter has never thought of marrying into the palace." Xu Jiatong was afraid that Queen Wu would be overwhelmed, so he quickly assured her, "My daughter's wish is only to become a female official in weaving and embroidery. There are so many skills in the palace. Palaces and female officials, after their training, I believe that my weaving and embroidery skills will be improved to a higher level. This is my lifelong wish, and I hope your mother will fulfill it."

Queen Wu smiled, and slowly persuaded her: "If you want to go further in weaving and embroidery, I can send someone out of the palace to teach you, even if Qi Shanggong can teach you. But it's okay to be a female official." , although the female official has the word 'official', she is still serving people after all. In the palace, she is not considered the master. I don't want to wrong you. You wait a few more days until the day of the selection of Guizhong in the palace. Choose a good husband for you."

"But..." Xu Jiatong wanted to say that this was also the wish of his grandmother Cao Shi, but after thinking about what Cao Shi was to Queen Wu, he swallowed the words again.

Queen Wu smiled, half-smiling and half-seriously said: "Don't be afraid, this is the imperial edict of the palace, do you want to resist the edict?"

"My daughter obeys the order." There was no room for change in the matter, and Xu Jiatong suddenly felt that he was chewing wax.

Queen Wu was laughing, but there was an undeniable coercion in her words, maybe the coercion was too strong, Xu Jiatong nodded almost uncontrollably.And after she agreed, she didn't know if it was her own illusion, Queen Wu seemed to secretly heave a sigh of relief, as if letting go of a big stone in her heart.

This kind of letting go was not letting go of such troubles as Xu Jialan, but letting go of some treasure worth protecting.

"Mother's Queen." Zhao Yuanxiang's voice came from outside. He walked in with big strides, "Do you have a guest? Is it you?"

"All blessings, Your Highness." Xu Jiatong got up, and asked for his respect.

"Get up quickly, you don't need to be formal with him." Before Zhao Yuanxiang answered, Queen Wu had already got her up, asked her to stand beside her, and said with a smile, "He looks fierce, and he doesn't act upright on weekdays. You are here He stood in front of him, giving him a chance to show off."

"Mother, you usually don't face outsiders like this, don't be fooled by some people's appearance." Zhao Yuanxiang glanced at Xu Jiatong, and then looked straight at Queen Wu.

Zhao Yuanxiang's gaze was not cold, but it was more terrifying than cold. There was no such thing as Xu Jiatong in his eyes, he just ignored her existence with disdain.

"What are you talking about?" Queen Wu gave Xu Jiatong an apologetic look, and she was very strict with Zhao Yuanxiang, "Jiatong's biological mother is your mother and my good sister, a life-and-death friend, just like my own sister. Same. This ordinary family has a few brothers and sisters in the offshoots, unfortunately, your few have no contact with each other, so you treat Jiatong as your younger sister, just like the queen mother treats her biological mother."

"What if I don't agree?" Zhao Yuanxiang raised his eyebrows at this question, full of anger.

Queen Wu was not angry, but there was more blame in her tone: "It's getting more and more outrageous, and you don't even listen to what your mother said. Instead, tell me, what's wrong with Jiatong, or what offended you? Shouldn't you Could it be that you are complaining about Xu Jialan? If you have any dissatisfaction, direct it at your mother, who will be dealt with by her mother."

At this time, Xu Jiatong felt that Xu Jialan was not worthless in his heart, but she could only discover how important it was in the future.

"It's already a blessing for a courtier to be kind to a courtier's daughter. Your Highness is an emperor, and it's normal not to be unwilling. Besides, His Highness is a man, and it's not a courtier's blessing to be close to a courtier who has nothing to do with you." Xu Jiatong Smooth things over with a smile and try to give them a step down.

Who knew that Empress Wu would be relentless, she said loudly: "No, he has to treat you as a younger sister. Yuanxiang, Mrs. Du has a great kindness to her mother, don't say that you treat Jiatong as a clan sister, It's okay to be your own younger sister. Today is my mother's birthday, and I don't want to give her any other birthday gifts. You must agree to this."

"What's so good about her? A frail girl who can only embroider with needles and has no strength to tie a chicken, is worthy of your help. Xu Jiatong, how can you be so favored by your mother? I am not a girl from Datong. You know how to weave brocade and embroider, what else do you know besides your housekeeping skills?" Zhao Yuanxiang was urged anxiously, and instinctively objected.

"You..." Empress Wu was stunned. In the past, when they got along with each other, Zhao Yuanxiang would obey even if she spoke in such a tone, "You are not really thinking about Xu Jialan, are you?"

"Your Majesty, don't get angry, it's not worth it for the sake of my servant." Xu Jiatong smiled disapprovingly, and looked at Zhao Yuanxiang not as obediently as before, "What else does Your Highness want my servant to do?"

"What did you say?" Zhao Yuanxiang really hit her head.

Xu Jiatong smiled, and said in a brisk voice: "How can His Royal Highness feel that my minister is no longer just a useless woman with no power to restrain a chicken? Your Majesty, please give this minister a chance so that His Highness King Xiang no longer feels A chance for a woman to be worthless."

Although Zhao Yuanxiang said that embroidery is her "housekeeping skill", it cannot be said that he attaches great importance to embroidery like Queen Wu. In fact, it can be seen from Xu Jialan's three-point enthusiasm for embroidery that he does not put Weaving embroidery is in the eye.If it weren't for this, Xu Jialan would have gone crazy to practice embroidery.

In order for Zhao Yuanxiang to take her seriously, she had to use tricks to let him know that she also had strengths that he could value.

Zhao Yuanxiang didn't take it seriously at all, and actually took out the dagger from his waist: "This is my personal weapon—Ziyou, it cuts iron like mud, can you use it?"

This is Queen Wu's bedroom, Zhao Yuanxiang actually brought a weapon in, not only that, but also blatantly took it out in front of their faces...

Xu Jiatong paid attention to Queen Wu's expression, and saw that she didn't bother to look at his virtuous demeanor, she couldn't hide her deep helplessness in her kindness, but she didn't see the slightest panic or disgust, not even surprise.

Presumably, Zhao Yuanxiang is used to being presumptuous on weekdays, and he has also done something to get out of the cabinet here, so he is no stranger to it.But there is no danger in thinking about it, otherwise Queen Wu would not stop it.

"Yes." Xu Jiatong dragged out the end, stepped forward and snatched the dagger with his hands, which frightened Zhao Yuanxiang instead.

Hmph, Zhao Yuanxiang is not Zhao Yuanshen who has been in and out of the barracks since he was a child, this dagger is not used to kill enemies, secondly it is not used to capture and kill ferocious beasts, thirdly I am afraid it is not used for self-defense, otherwise how could it be easily shown to others?

I'm afraid this dagger is just for fun, its fineness and workmanship are top-notch, it must be of high value, and it is a sharp weapon worth showing off.

Queen Wu has seen the wind and rain for half her life, and seeing them making trouble in front of her, she doesn't think it's dangerous, but it's fun.She didn't stop her, but said: "Jia Tong, don't hurt your hand, King Xiang likes to mess around, if you are serious with her, you will lose."

Zhao Yuan's project showed his color, the dagger can defend himself and stab the beast, but firstly there are no wild beasts here, and secondly he expected that Xu Jiatong would not have the guts to do it when he saw it. , A stool and a table will definitely not dare to hurt the slightest.

He wanted to see how Xu Jiatong rounded up the big words he uttered, so he just watched what Xu Jiatong and Yulan said, and after a while, Yulan gave her something.

"Did you see it? Please also ask your mother to be a witness to my servant." Xu Jiatong's delicate and white palm spread out, and a small turquoise silk thread lay on it.

Holding Ziyou in one hand, Xu Jiatong put the strand of silk thread on the sharp blade with the other, and blew quickly and shortly on the blade, the strand of silk thread broke instantly, and fell scatteredly on the Persian carpet under her feet .

Queen Wu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.When Xu Jiatong was holding the silk thread in Xu Jiatong's hand, Zhao Yuanxiang stared with bated breath, wanting to see what she was going to do, but he didn't expect it to be such a trivial trick. Come back to your senses completely.

"That doesn't count!" Zhao Yuanxiang said angrily.

"You only said you wanted me to use Ziyou, but you didn't say how to use it." Xu Jiatong smiled and returned Ziyou to him, and returned to Queen Wu's side to act like a spoiled child. The daughter has already done it. It’s fine if he doesn’t treat the courtier’s daughter as his younger sister, but he can’t embarrass the courtier’s daughter anymore.”

Zhao Yuanxiang treats her as a younger sister, she is not indifferent!She is not greedy, and taking advantage of the current opportunity to ask for a "gold medal token", at least Zhao Yuanxiang can no longer embarrass her on the bright side.

"Yuanxiang, show the measure of your Highness King Xiang, why can't you even tolerate a little girl like Jiatong?" Queen Wu smiled and looked at Zhao Yuanxiang, then at Xu Jiatong, wishing they could sit side by side Beside her, "You're going to be separated from the government, and you won't see your mother often anymore, so you have the heart to have no one to talk to her? If you have the heart, then don't recognize this younger sister."

"Okay, okay, I agree, isn't it okay? I'll just treat her as a cousin of the Wu family, and I don't have much contact with her anyway." Zhao Yuanxiang made a pun, and he has been with several cousins ​​surnamed Wu for five or six years. I haven't met before, "Is this okay? The time is coming soon, I'm going to the palace banquet first, so I won't accompany you, it's really boring."

Seeing him bowing his head, Queen Wu didn't care too much, but when she heard that he was about to leave, she immediately called to him: "Jia Tong also go first, Yuan Xiang, you take her there. Hurry up, why are you still standing there? Let Feng Tai accompany you." I'm watching you guys, don't let you throw Jiatong halfway."
