Chapter 606： Enter the palace

   Mu Yangling smiled and said, "When my father-in-law was alive, he often praised the second uncle for being smart and good at reading. As long as he perseveres, he will always be able to graduate from high school."

Xu's smile froze slightly, and he laughed twice.

Mu Yangling had nothing to say to them, and served tea to the guests.

As soon as Mrs. Xu got into the carriage, she heard Mrs. Wu sarcastically say: "Second sister-in-law has miscalculated? Don't look at Mrs. Mu's quietness, but she's cheating in her heart. Our family and the fourth uncle are not on good terms. Why is she? Maybe help the second uncle to plan his future?"

Xu shi closed his eyes in anger, lowered the curtain without a glance, and said solemnly, "Let's go."

The carriage left first, and Mrs. Wu pouted and said disdainfully, "When she was in charge, now it's Madam Hou, and no one can surpass anyone else."

After saying that, he supported the girl's hand and got on his own carriage.

Mrs. Xu was so angry in another carriage that she couldn't help complaining to Qi Shaosheng when she returned to Hou's mansion, "Now it's time for our two families to watch and help each other, but the third daughter-in-law always targets us for some unknown reason. Let’s go to Mu’s place together, instead of helping us, we’re going to drag us down.”

"You and the third uncle have no errands until now. Do you really have to rely on the father-in-law Yu Yin to live? The third uncle has studied for so many years, and he can't even pass the exam. It's not that you have to take the exam, but look at the third brother and sister. , I won't talk about it at home, and I will target me from time to time when I go outside..."

Having said this, Mrs Xu couldn't help but shed tears and said, "Who am I doing this for, or not for our family?"

Qi Shaosheng patted her on the shoulder and sighed: "The third daughter-in-law is outrageous. I'll talk about it when I go to the palace and see my mother." Xiao Wu's mother still needs to be able to control it.

Li Chunzheng asked Mu Yangling curiously, "Fourth grandma, why did you promise to help them? The Empress will probably be upset when she finds out."

"Instead of letting them go all over the world looking for someone, I might as well send a message to the palace, lest everyone think that the Wu family is under house arrest by the emperor, and all kinds of speculations continue, and the queen will not blame it."

Not only did Li Jinghua not blame her, she also held her hand gratefully and said, "Thank you for entering the palace to remind me, otherwise I would have neglected. This time it was indeed the concubine who refused. Since they want to see each other, I will let them enter the palace. See you at first sight."

Li Jinghua announced that Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Wu would enter the palace, and Qi Shaosheng and Qi Shaotai waited outside after sending them into the palace. After a long time, someone from the palace told them to enter, saying: "The Empress and the Emperor talked about the two Hou madams. Entering the palace to visit the concubine, the emperor thought that the concubine had not seen the two princes for a long time, and was afraid of missing, so he asked the miscellaneous family to bring the two princes to see the prince."

Qi Shaosheng was overjoyed in his heart, but when he walked in with the inner servant, his mood was very complicated. Just three years ago, he and this brother could go their separate ways without breaking the river. Son, and now, the other party is the ruler of this world, but he can only stay outside the palace and wait for his summons.

Qi Shaosheng lowered his eyes to hide the emotion in his eyes, but his calm completely collapsed when he saw Wu Shi. He looked at his gray-haired mother who was in a trance and couldn't recover for a while. Is this his mother?

Mrs Wu was more than ten years older than before entering the palace, Qi Shaosheng shook his body, then turned his head and glared at them angrily.

But what Qi Shaosheng didn't expect was that the people in the palace did not strictly guard them, but bowed down and stepped back, and the leading female official even said to him: "Since Lord Hou has entered the palace, please persuade the concubine. "

Qi Shaosheng was both angry and suspicious. As soon as they retreated, he hurried forward to hold Wu's hand. Seeing that her hand was also cold, he couldn't help crying: "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Although Qi Shaosheng is selfish, he is also a filial son. He has always been raised by his parents as a son-in-law, and because he is the best student, he is given the greatest responsibility. Compared to Qi Shaotai, who is a little indifferent, he can be regarded as the most filial.

Wu shi's eyes moved slightly, looking at Qi Shaosheng's face and unable to react for a while, then suddenly became excited, grabbed his hand and said, "Why are you here? Hurry up, hurry up, the emperor wants to harm you."

Qi Shaosheng was stunned for a moment, hurriedly clenched her hand, covered her mouth and asked, "Why did the mother say that? Your Majesty, although the Majesty ignored us, he did nothing to harm us."

That's right, just ignored, since he and his third brother were named Marquis, they were completely ignored.

Unlike Qi Haoran, who can go to the palace, the emperor would go to the Qi mansion to give some gifts from time to time, but he could participate in government affairs. The emperor would affectionately call him "fourth younger brother". It seems to be forgotten in a corner, the emperor can't remember it, and other people in Beijing don't seem to know that there are two mansions, they are completely behind closed doors to live their lives.

So Qi Shaosheng doesn't believe that Qi Xiuyuan will harm him. There are many ways to harm him. The easiest way is to directly issue an edict to convict him. There are none now, Qi Xiuyuan seems to have forgotten his name, how could he harm him?

He was only worried about his mother being killed.

The third brother was too young to remember, but he had a faint feeling that Qi Xiuyuan hated his mother even more than Qi Haoran, and the death of Qi Xiuyuan's mother was probably related to his mother.

That's why he entered the palace so eagerly, and now, looking at it, his mother was indeed abused.

Qi Shaosheng was full of anger and said, "Don't worry, mother, even if you give up this life, your son will save you."

Xu became anxious, stepped forward to help him and said, "Second Master has misunderstood, what kind of mind does the emperor have? How can he treat his mother-in-law badly? There must be some misunderstanding."

"Stupid woman, what misunderstandings are there in front of the facts?"

Madam Xu was anxious, and when she looked around, she saw Mammy Wu standing on the side, and she hurriedly pulled her and asked, "Mammy Wu, I ask you, how did you serve the concubine, and how did the concubine change? Like this?"

She squeezed Nanny Wu's arm tightly and looked at her with warning eyes.

Qi Shaosheng stared at Mammy Wu with red eyes, Mammy Wu hurriedly knelt down and said, "Second Master, this servant has been wronged, madam, madam is good to drink in the palace, but for some reason I always feel that the emperor wants to harm the second master and Third Master, I always can't sleep at night, and I always say, say, "Mother Wu hesitantly said, "It's retribution."

Qi Shaosheng's complexion changed slightly.

Mother Wu hurriedly said, "The emperor came here once and heard that the back looks a little bad, but he just sneered and told us to serve the concubine well and not to be neglected."

Qi Shaosheng was thoughtful, and Wu Wu said again: "The people in the palace are indeed dedicated, in order to make the concubine happy, they even mentioned the second and third masters, saying that you are smart and capable, but the concubine not only does not look good, but the face Even worse, a few days ago, the second grandmother handed in the sign, the slave wanted to let the second grandmother come in and see, the queen also handed over the sign, saying that the concubine would approve it if she wanted to see it, but the concubine threw it away. Brand, you can't see the second grandmother after saying anything..."

Qi Shaosheng's face was ugly, he turned his head to look at his mother, who looked dazed and unfocused. He felt sad and helpless for a while. He probably understood that his mother was just frightening himself. As for why Qi Xiuyuan didn't start, Qi Shaosheng also had a faint feeling in his heart. , but not quite sure.
