The apex pet of the black belly

Chapter 87
After the queen mother spoke, Shen Yunyi and Shen Wenhao naturally stopped kneeling.

Not long after, someone from the palace brought three chairs, and after Shen Yunyi and the others sat down, someone from the palace brought melons that had been cut into small pieces, poked them with a toothpick, and placed them on the On a crystal clear crystal plate.

Shen Yunyi and Shen Wenhao thanked the queen mother, and then ate the melon.

The melons in this season are still very sweet and full of juice. The melons are cooled with well water before being cut, so it is very comfortable to eat.

The queen mother looked at Shen Wenhao and Shen Yunyi, and nodded lightly, "This is your family's pair of dragon and phoenix twins. Your third child went to Jiangnan before, and they went with them. It's been more than three years. See, the two of them are getting better and better, and they are more and more spiritual."

Princess Dingyang glanced at Shen Wenhao and Shen Yunyi with a smile, and then said to the Queen Mother, "The Queen Mother's words are similar to those of Nanny Zhang. It can be seen that my two grandchildren are really hurting, causing people to hurt."

The queen mother couldn't help but reached out her hand and patted Princess Dingyang, "You are really good at putting gold on your face. But your two grandchildren are indeed good, they are good."

Xiao Keqing seemed dissatisfied with the empress dowager's praise of Shen Wenhao and Shen Yunyi, so she ruthlessly gouged out their eyes where the empress dowager couldn't see them.

Shen Wenhao's eyes immediately stared like copper bells, and he stared back fiercely.

Shen Yunyi didn't stare at Xiao Keqing, she poked a piece of melon with a toothpick, put it in her mouth, and while chewing, she smiled at Xiao Keqing, her smile was so bright that her eyes were bent into crescent moons.

Xiao Keqing was not angered by Shen Wenhao's stare, but was angered by Shen Yunyi's provocation. The hand holding the fan tightened suddenly, and her breathing became heavy.

Even though Princess Dingyang was talking to the queen mother, she didn't pay attention to others. She found out the little confrontation between Xiao Keqing and her grandchildren, and her eyes turned cold, "What is Huishu doing? Are you not welcome?" Auntie? So you put on a face for me on purpose?"

Seeing Princess Dingyang's cold gaze, Xiao Keqing lowered her head in panic, and said pitifully, "Grandma, what are you talking about? I respect you the most. I am very happy to see you."

Princess Dingyang sneered, "You don't seem to be happy. If it's not for my face, then it's for Hao'er and Yunyi? How did they offend you? Tell this princess to listen to me. How are you in charge?"

Seeing Xiao Keqing's pitiful look with her head lowered, the Queen Mother couldn't help but feel distressed, and glared at Princess Dingyang, "You are an elder, why are you so strict with the junior? Look, you scare the child."

Princess Dingyang didn't follow the Queen Mother's words, but instead got angry, "Some folk sayings are really good! A married daughter poured out water. I have been married for decades, and I have been married for decades. Grandma is no longer your mother's own daughter! Now your great-granddaughter is more important than me in your heart."

The Queen Mother sat up straight in surprise, really surprised, this kind of thing happened before, Dingyang didn't just smile every time, why did he get angry this time?
"It seems that I don't need to go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning anymore, lest my mother be angry when she sees my unfilial daughter. It also prevents me from being angry with the younger generation when I am a lot older! Mother, please take good care of your most beloved great-grandson , Great-granddaughter, let’s talk. I don’t want to be an eyesore anymore, I’m going to leave!”

Seeing that Princess Dingyang was about to get up and leave, the queen mother hurriedly grabbed Princess Dingyang's wrist, half out of resignation and half out of compromise, "I want you to say, you should be the queen mother, since you have a big temper, if you say something wrong, just say goodbye." If you have a fit, you dare to show the face of Aijia's own mother, what else are you afraid of?"

If others heard this, they would kneel down and beg for mercy in fear, but Princess Dingyang would not!

Princess Dingyang immediately sat down on the chair again, glanced at Xiao Keqing and raised her head, the corner of Xiao Keqing's face was full of panic, and the corner of her mouth curled up, "I'm not losing my temper. If I'm not favored like this, I will be humiliated by the younger generation." It’s useless, what kind of temper do you deserve?”

When the queen mother heard it, her temples on both sides jumped "jumping". This is her only daughter, and she has been doted on since she was a child. Even if she is a grandmother, she is still her daughter, so there is no heartache.

The queen mother let go of the hand holding Princess Dingyang's wrist, sighed, and said, "You are the only daughter of the Ai family! The only sister of the emperor is the most honorable princess of Dachu! Who would dare to shake you off?" Face, who dares to say that you are not favored? Neither the Ai family nor the emperor can spare him!"

Shen Yunyi watched Princess Dingyang's attack from the sidelines, and couldn't help but admire her eyes more and more. Her grandmother is mighty!As expected of her, Shen Yunyi's own grandmother!

Xiao Ming was able to recognize the situation much better than Xiao Keqing, and he hurriedly said with a smile, "Grandma, I'm sorry, but you are spoiled, but you definitely don't dare to be disrespectful to your aunt. It's rare for Keqing to see the two cousins, and I feel very happy , I couldn't control my emotions for a while."

Princess Dingyang looked at Xiao Keqing with a smile that was not a smile. The transparency and shrewdness in her eyes seemed to leave her nowhere to hide. The small thoughts in her heart seemed to be basking in the sun, "Can't control my emotions for a while? What's wrong with this?" Emotions still need to be well controlled. People, you have to remember your identity, you have to see how much you are, and don’t think that you can really be arrogant and arrogant because of someone’s favor."

The queen mother glanced at Princess Dingyang, she didn't know that her daughter said this to her, this daughter is really spoiled and has nothing to dare to say.

Xiao Keqing was favored in Prince Qi's mansion, and in the palace, the Queen Mother and Emperor Mingkang also doted on her. She had long since developed an arrogant and superior mentality, when had she ever been ridiculed like this.

The person who taunted her was Princess Dingyang, and the queen mother, who was the biggest backer, did not stand by her side. What else could Xiao Keqing do but bow her head?
Xiao Keqing admitted her mistake aggrievedly, "Auntie, Keqing was wrong. I saw my cousin and cousin, I was so happy, I couldn't control myself for a while."

Shen Yunyi and Shen Wenhao pursed their mouths at the same time.

Shen Yunyi smiled and said, "Princess Huishu, my brother and I have not seen you for many years. Therefore, seeing you this time is also very embarrassing. It's okay, we are all embarrassing, let's understand each other."

Xiao Keqing also planned to file a complaint with the Queen Mother afterwards, saying that Shen Wenhao and Shen Yunyi deliberately made faces for her and stared at her.Who knew that Shen Yunyi attributed everything to her own feelings, how would she sue afterwards?

Seeing Xiao Keqing's stunned look, Shen Yunyi exclaimed in her heart, hadn't she dealt with Xiao Keqing before?Can you not know Xiao Keqing's virtue of liking to sue and make small reports afterwards?Shen Yunyi is too clear!

How could Princess Dingyang not be aware of Shen Yunyi's careful thinking, and seeing the fox-like smile on her lips, she couldn't help laughing, "Yes, they are young, but it's not because they are in love."

After all, the queen mother felt sorry for Xiao Keqing. Seeing that she was very angry, she said, "Jiangnan has sent a new batch of jewelry. Ai's family is too old to wear those young people. But you are young, so those jewelry will be given to you. "

Xiao Keqing suddenly became happy, and she couldn't help but glance at Shen Yunyi with complacent eyes, hoping to see the expression of envy, jealousy and hatred on her face.

The result was that Xiao Keqing was disappointed, Shen Yunyi didn't even twitch her brows, and the envy, jealousy, and hatred she imagined didn't exist.

Princess Dingyang felt uncomfortable. "Does the empress only love her great-granddaughter? Does she not love her great-granddaughter? This is too unfair."

The queen mother said helplessly, "I can't forget your most beloved granddaughter! There is also a box of round and bright pearls here at Aijia. It is better for young girls to wear them. It is also good to play with pearls and hairpins. String them into bracelets, necklaces, or earrings. Row."

Princess Dingyang was satisfied at this point, "I knew that the queen mother would be the last one to be partial. But Yunyi and Haoer are twins, so it's not good to only appreciate Yunyi and not reward Haoer."

The Empress Dowager looked at Shen Wenhao, thought for a while and said, "Your grandson looks like a man of literary talents. The Ai family rewarded him with a good set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones, so as to encourage him to study hard."

Shen Wenhao's expression was a little strange immediately, while Shen Yunyi secretly laughed in her heart, her second brother didn't like reading the most.

Princess Dingyang also knew Shen Wenhao's temperament very well, and said with a smile, "Forget pen, ink, paper and inkstone. My grandson likes to dance with guns and sticks more, but he is not at all like his father."

The queen mother was a little surprised, and looked at Shen Wenhao, and saw that although he was dressed in a romantic and wealthy appearance, he was indeed quite strong, with a resolute and brave look in his brows and eyes, "It's not like his father, who followed his grandfather. Back then, the son-in-law also A mighty general on the battlefield. Speaking of which, none of the son-in-law’s four sons followed him.”

Shen Guogong and Shen Jia'an are excellent at eating, drinking and having fun, but under the eyes of Shen Rui and Princess Dingyang, he dare not do anything out of the ordinary.

Let's not talk about the Shen family who have passed away, and they had no interest in martial arts during their lifetime.

Both Shen Jiahang and Shen Jiaxing are civil servants.

When Shen Wenhao heard that the queen mother said that he was like Shen Rui, he immediately stopped his chest and said with pride, "I want to report to the queen mother, I have always set my grandfather as my goal. Get rid of everyone!"

The dowager came back with some interest, smiled and waved to Shen Wenhao, "Son, come to Ai's house."

Shen Wenhao got up and sat beside the queen mother.

The queen mother looked at Shen Wenhao in front of her, and then at Princess Dingyang, her voice contained nostalgia, "Ai Jia still remembers when your grandmother was young, she was younger than you, only eight or nine years old. Your grandmother came to Aijia, raised her head and said that she would be a female general in the future, defending her family and country, and fighting on the battlefield. Unexpectedly, decades later, her grandson would say the same thing as her.”

Princess Dingyang was stunned. Decades is really too long. Too many people and things have been spent, and some memories have become blurred.

Following the Queen Mother's words, Princess Dingyang remembered that she was only eight or nine years old at the time, and she seemed to have really done such a thing at that time.

"After losing my mother, I still remember, the children's words are just what the children say, there is nothing to remember."

The queen mother said meaningfully, "As a parent, you will remember every bit of your child. Although you failed to become a female general, at least you married a public general, and it can be regarded as making up for your regret."

There was a hint of nostalgia in the empress dowager's cloudy old eyes, and she quickly came back to her senses, and then said to Shen Wenhao, "The Ai family remembers that the emperor has a dagger that cuts iron like mud in tribute from the Western Regions. The Ai family will send someone later Ask the emperor for the dagger to give you."

As a man, who would not like a precious sword that cuts iron like mud, Shen Wenhao naturally likes it, and thanked with joy, "Thank you, Queen Mother."

Xiao Keqing saw that Shen Wenhao got the empress dowager to look at him differently, pouted and slapped the empress dowager's arm coquettishly, "Empress dowager, my cousin has received your reward, but my brother has nothing. The empress dowager can't be partial."

The Empress Dowager really loved Xiao Keqing very much, patted her white and soft hands, and comforted her, "The Ai family is not partial. The emperor also has a bow, which seems to be suitable for you. When the time comes, the Ai family will also ask for it for you. .”

Xiao Ming immediately said, "Thank you Queen Mother, I know that Queen Mother loves me."

Shen Yunyi flattened her mouth, Xiao Ming and Xiao Keqing, the two brothers and sisters have no other skills, but they are second to none in coaxing the Empress Dowager, look at her coaxing the Empress Dowager into a smile, the doting in her eyes almost overflowed.

At this time, a court lady came in and reported that it was King Zheng who came to greet the Queen Mother.

Shen Yunyi raised her brows, thinking that her cousin is here.

When the Empress Dowager heard Xiao Jing came to pay her respects, her smiling brows were pulled down immediately, her eyes were deep, and the emotions inside were dark and hard to distinguish.However, Shen Yunyi could see the deep disgust in the Queen Mother's eyes.

Shen Yunyi actually doesn't understand, Xiao Jing and Xiao Ming's brothers and sisters are obviously descendants of the former King Zheng, why Xiao Ming and Xiao Keqing are favored by the Queen Mother, and Xiao Jing is treated coldly, from childhood to adulthood Well, Xiao Jing is often spoiled here by the Queen Mother.

After a while, the Empress Dowager's faint voice sounded, "Where did you just talk? Keep talking."

Grand Duke Dingyang moved his mouth on his own initiative, as if he wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to think of, but finally kept silent.

Xiao Ming and Xiao Keqing continued the topic just now, coaxing the queen mother with your words.

Seeing this, Shen Yunyi's eyes widened slightly. Is the queen mother completely ignoring Xiao Jing and letting him wait?
Shen Yunyi rolled her eyes and had a good idea in her heart.

Shen Yunyi turned her head to look in the direction of the door from time to time, her eyes were anxious and worried.

Shen Yunyi turned around several times in a row, which naturally attracted the attention of others.

Xiao Keqing thought that she had just been generalized by Shen Yunyi and had suffered a great loss, so she wanted to take revenge.

Xiao Keqing rolled her eyes, remembering that Shen Yunyi and Xiao Jing had a very good relationship, guessing that Shen Yunyi's strange behavior at the moment was probably because of Xiao Jing, she couldn't help but make up her mind.

"What's wrong with my cousin? I keep looking at the door. What are you looking at? Who are you worried about? Could it be that you are worried about King Zheng?" Xiao Keqing's meaningful voice sounded.

A glint of joy flashed across Shen Yunyi's eyes, but there was anxiety on his face, "Yes. When I was in the south of the Yangtze River, if Cousin Zheng Wang hadn't stepped forward to save me, I would have almost died. Cousin Zheng Wang was my savior. , I haven’t seen Cousin Zheng Wang yet.”
