[Yangmen] I've been chasing girls all these years

Xiao Zhong went out alone, but before reaching the palace gate, he was stopped by a little eunuch.

"Commander Xiao?" The little eunuch's face was white, his lips were red, and his chin was clean. It looked like he was young but had seniority in the palace.Xiao Zhong walked around inside and outside the palace all the year round, bearing the honorable name of a great commander on his body, he was a celebrity in front of the imperial court, but he couldn't help himself when he went up and down, the so-called accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger.Therefore, he knows best who in this palace can bully and who should not even touch.

Xiao Zhong looked at the little eunuch's clothes calmly, and then asked, "What does the father-in-law need me to command?"

The little eunuch smiled obsequiously, and slapped a thousand children: "The Queen Mother is waiting for you. What kind of person is this servant, how dare you send Commander Xiao? If it wasn't for the Queen Mother's order, this servant wouldn't even dare to stop you!"

Xiao Zhong's complexion darkened, he forced a smile, and said, "Then, please ask the father-in-law to lead the way."

After all, he hadn't seen this faceless distant sister for a long time.

There are not many people in the Xiao family, and it is not easy for a small family to achieve today's glory.The ancestors of Empress Dowager Xiao were that remarkable branch, and they even brought all the people surnamed Xiao to the road of wealth and honor.And Xiao Zhong's branch took advantage of others.

In fact, it is not the case.The Xiao family has long been used to helping each other, otherwise they wouldn't be able to have today's grand occasion.

However, since Empress Dowager Xiao only had her one daughter in this generation, the Yelu family has prospered day by day, while the Xiao family has become more and more decadent.The palms and backs of her hands were full of flesh, and she couldn't cut off any part if she wanted to be ruthless.For a long time, the Empress Dowager Xiao acted more and more strangely, and the conflict between the Yelu family and the Xiao family grew day by day.Fortunately, although Xiao Zhong was working in front of the imperial court, he couldn't say much in the Xiao family. He hadn't seen the Empress Dowager Xiao when she was young and what she looks like now. No way.

"Here we are. Commander Xiao, please—" The sharp voice of the little eunuch sounded in front of Xiao Zhong. The lofty status of the master.Xiao Zhong collected himself, finally he was mentally prepared, and stepped in.But after walking a few steps, he knelt down and made a big salute: "Slave Xiao Zhong has seen the empress dowager."

The crisp sound of gold and jade colliding came, stirring Xiao Zhong's heart.His heartbeat became more violent, like the beating of a drum, which almost made him faint immediately.He couldn't help swallowing his own saliva, and the "gudong" sound from the depths of his throat seemed to send the saliva directly to his heart, giving him a life-saving oasis, and making him quiet down.Xiao Zhong listened quietly to the sound of rings and pendants colliding, from far to near, it became clearer and more obvious until it reached his feet.

"You are Xiao Zhong, the great commander in front of the imperial court?" A female voice spoke above his head, mellow and steady, one could hear the vicissitudes of life, and one could also hear the scenery that the owner of this voice had experienced in the past.If he hadn't known the "glorious deeds" of Empress Dowager Xiao, even Xiao Zhong would have felt that she must be a noble woman who enjoyed thousands of honors but was indifferent to the world.

Thousands of Glory is good, and Nobility is good, but she loves fighting for her time too much, and this little bit of excess almost ruined her life.

"Slave is right." He bowed his head and replied seriously, unwilling to think about it.Knowing the purpose of this trip is the most important right now, he himself still doesn't know if he can leave this palace gate.

"Very good." The voice receded slightly, following the sound of silk rubbing against each other, Xiao Zhong listened carefully and identified that the Empress Dowager should have been helped to sit back in her seat.His heart was relieved, because of the increased distance, the pressure in his heart was actually a little less.I don't know how scared he is to be so sensitive.

"Your father is...Xiao Cheng?"

"Exactly. The Queen Mother has a good memory."

"I can't do it anymore," the voice seemed to be laughing, "I'm getting old and I can't remember anything. To be able to remember these names is already Amitabha."

"You are my Xiao family, and the Ai family has never seen you. After all, the Ai family still has to call your father uncle. You are the younger brother of the Ai family, right?" Empress Dowager Xiao said close, Xiao But Zhong didn't dare to get close to her.He hurriedly said, "The empress dowager is too famous, and this slave can't afford it. I just eat a bowl of rice in front of the emperor, but I dare not be called a younger brother by you, the empress dowager."

"How can I do that?" The queen mother smiled gracefully, "Seniority can never be wrong. We are a small family, regardless of seniority, and we have no bright future."

The two were silent, Xiao Zhong almost emptied his brains, and then reluctantly answered, "The Xiao family is very good."

"How good is it?" Empress Dowager Xiao smiled with interest, staring straight at Xiao Zhong, "Tell me, how good is our Xiao family?"

Xiao Zhong was silent for a while, he realized that he could not be the opponent of Empress Dowager Xiao at all, so he got straight to the point.

"Then the queen mother thinks, how good should our Xiao family be?"

It's rare for Xiao Zhong to be more hostile, and he gave it all to these two today.He has been nervous for more than a night, and he has to deal with these things early in the morning. He has a terrible headache, and he has released his nature unconsciously.Who would have thought that his level would not be taken seriously by others at all, only to hear Empress Dowager Xiao chuckle: "Ai's family is old, and has long since neglected matters. Now all I want to do is to take good care of the elderly, and you usually walk in front of the imperial court." , I must have heard some of these things in the harem. Aijia is old and can't talk anywhere, so I called you here today just to catch up on the past, why are you nervous?"

She paused, then continued to laugh, "The matter of the Xiao family, the Ai family is just a joke now. One generation follows another, like flowing water——Xiao Zhong, the Xiao family in the future, what is the glory and wealth? , Frustrated and dilapidated, it has nothing to do with me long ago. You people are the head of the family."

She stared closely at Xiao Zhong's eyes, and said in a warm voice, "No matter who you are, as long as your surname is Xiao, you must know what it means to be born as a member of the Xiao family, and die as a ghost of the Xiao family. '"

She smiled, shut up and kept silent, just staring at Xiao Zhong's tense appearance, confident.

Xiao Zhong didn't know when he started to raise his head, by the time he realized it, he had been staring at Empress Dowager Xiao for a long time.Although the woman was no longer in her prime, but due to years of pampering and maintenance, she did not see any lines in the corners of her eyes, and she could still see her girlish demeanor when she smiled.When she was not smiling, she added a bit of majesty and calmness, as if she was holding everyone in her hands and letting her manipulate them.

"How about it, Commander Xiao, what do you think?" She opened her mouth slowly, with white teeth and red lips, which seemed to be seductive, but in fact it was an abyss.

Xiao Zhong lowered his head, "Slave... I don't know."

"Whether you know or not, it's all in your heart. How can you say it clearly with just one mouth." She smiled sweetly, like a girl on a spring outing, full of interest, "But today Aijia doesn't care so much about you. You You must have been wondering what the Ai family wanted you to do when they called you here."

She glanced at him with great interest, as if looking at a plaything, and then continued, "I heard that Shangjing is not very peaceful these days?"

"Exactly." Xiao Zhong replied in a deep voice.Judging by Empress Dowager Xiao's posture, I'm afraid she won't be able to walk out of the palace gate smoothly today.

"Then, have you come up with a good idea with the emperor?" She tilted her head, showing some coquettishness that she shouldn't have at her age, and smiled slightly, "Let Aijia guess——You are so early in the morning Just entering the palace, it’s still such a day, so I must have come prepared. Maybe, some kind of covenant was reached and some kind of poisonous oath was made?”

She shook her head dismissively.

"It's all just useless means. With Huang'er's temperament, he must have trusted you people. Aijia taught him not to trust anyone since he was a child. Tell me about this child, why can't you do it?"

Xiao Zhong pursed his lips and remained silent.

Empress Dowager Xiao didn't say a word or smile when she saw him, it was really interesting, and it aroused her desire to tease him.

"How about...can you do Ai's family a favor? This Shangjing belongs to Yelu's family, and it belongs to my Xiao family, and it's also your Xiao family. If you succeed, no one will lose. If you lose—" She stared at Xiao Zhong closely, and smiled, "It's okay if you lose. The Ai family is quite old, and the time to make plans has passed, and the future Xiao family will have to be placed on your shoulders." , what needs to be done, you naturally know."

"Since the emperor has something to ask of you, what should I do? I don't need Aijia to teach you step by step, right?"

Xiao Zhong was silent for a while, then shook his head.

Empress Dowager Xiao felt that the child was educated, and she was in a very happy mood, so she stopped talking and sent a little eunuch to send Xiao Zhong out completely.

Before leaving, the little eunuch was still behind Xiao Zhong.

"Commander Xiao."

"My father-in-law, please speak."

Xiao Zhong's face was stagnant, without showing any emotion.The little eunuch looked at it for a long time but didn't come up with anything, so he had to follow the order: "The empress dowager said that this is the commander's own choice. The empress will not do anything to threaten the commander, but..." the little eunuch The eunuch smiled, "I'm afraid your father's tablet will no longer be able to stay in the Xiao family's ancestral hall. When the time comes, the old man will know, and wonder if he will blame his only son for not being motivated and unwilling to strive for his family. As for his soul, he can’t even return to his family.”

The little eunuch took half a step back, and said respectfully, "What the Empress Dowager means is, let you take care of it. Don't worry so much."

After that, he smiled at him and left in a hurry.

Xiao Zhong moved out of the palace with heavy steps, the coachman waiting outside had already been waiting impatiently.Seeing his master coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "Why has the master been gone for so long? Could it be that the emperor refuses to see the master?"

"It's nothing." Xiao Zhong waved his sleeves irritably and brushed the driver's hand, "I'm fine, I'm ready to go home."

"Yes."

The coachman respectfully helped him into the carriage, and he went to Xiao Zhong's mansion in no time.

Xiao Zhong sat alone in the depths of the carriage, and finally no one suddenly rushed out of the surrounding area to frighten him. He could finally sit down and think carefully about what happened this noon.

The meaning of Empress Dowager Xiao is not difficult to understand.

It was blood and tears to do what I saw. How can there be such a good thing in the world, so I can do whatever I want?The responsibility of the Xiao family, the tablet of the father, it's all bullshit, it's nothing more than telling him that Xiao Zhong, as long as the Empress Dowager Xiao is unhappy, he will not understand.

And even her frightening and coaxing words were just the last kick before she died.

The Xiao family has been suppressed too much these years.She is always unwilling to be reconciled, and she is only thinking about when she can regain all the glory of the past.But today is different from the past, the current emperor was born from her womb, so he didn't fight her hard, instead he learned his father's faults all over. He didn't like the Xiao family, so he liked to fight against the Xiao family.

She is so depressed.

She was so depressed that even if there was only one gap, she wanted to get out and try to see if she could cultivate herself and the whole family along this gap into a small bud, a big tree with luxuriant branches and leaves, just standing There, you can live forever.

And now, as it happens, when she still has the energy, there is such an opportunity in front of her that allows her to negotiate terms with her biological son again.

Xiao Zhong sighed softly, in fact, this old woman is quite pitiful.

He has worked so hard all his life, just for the honor and disgrace of his family, and he dare not act rashly even when he is old.It's no wonder that she gave birth to two children, and at this age, she can still be young for a while.

Having said that, this woman's obsession is too deep, so deep that it directly pushed her into the abyss.

The emperor didn't want to give her this opportunity, and Xiao Zhong didn't want to give it to her either.

He has already agreed to test his loyalty with the emperor, how can he be easily shaken?But to move the old father's memorial tablet out of the Xiao family ancestral hall - Xiao Zhong couldn't help but gritted his teeth, he had to admit that this old woman was really cruel.

"Master, we're home." The coachman's weak voice sounded from outside the carriage, he regained his composure, opened the curtain, and jumped out of the carriage.

At sunset, Yelu Jin'e, Mu Yi and his party had already gone half way back.

It was because Yelu Jin'e was afraid of the heat that she had to choose to walk most of the day's journey in the evening.They traveled this way, but they did not have the good luck of the residents of the capital.Along the way, the autumn tigers followed like a shadow, as if they had taken a fancy to them, and they followed wherever they went. Every time Yelu Jin'e looked at herself in the mirror, she felt that she cared about the speed visible to the naked eye every day. getting dark.

This word is still easy to teach.

At that time, he always liked to say that she gained weight at a speed visible to the naked eye every day, and he would not let go of her little fat face.

All in all, since their relationship in the North Defense City has taken a step closer, there is no longer the occasional embarrassment before.Yelu Jin'e has a good temper and a great forgetfulness. She often can't remember anything that should be remembered. Well, she can't remember what she shouldn't.

It's just that she knows that she will be educated when she speaks out, so she always likes to tease others with the little bit she knows.

After a long time, Mu Yi has figured out her temperament, and when she plays again, Mu Yi no longer cooperates, and gradually she also finds it meaningless.

Speaking of which, Mu Yi discovered many bad habits of Yelu Jin'e during the journey northward.He corrected her bit by bit, even though he wasn't much better, but he was particularly motivated and smooth when taking care of her. Who knows, in just a few months, all her bad habits were wiped out. Pulled over.

Yelu Jin'e also said that if her emperor's brother found out about this when she returned to Shangjing, she would definitely be jealous.

At this time, Mu Yi is also jealous.

Why can't her brother-in-law be jealous when he, the prospective husband, can't be petty?

Yelu Jin'e likes Muyi very much at this time. She always says that Muyi is like a pig at this time, with a similar mouth shape and cuteness.

Mu Yi reluctantly accepted her unfriendly metaphor, and hugged his little wife to kiss him.After all, he himself knew that his little wife couldn't come up with a better metaphor.According to her words, this is the word she came up with after eating several sauced elbows!He can't be disgusted.

Just like that, they were happy with each other, and Yelu Jin'e naturally forgot that important thing.Everyone had no psychological pressure, bouncing all the way back to Shangjing directly from the border of Beifang.

Before entering the gate of Shangjing, something happened.

The incident happened only a few dozen feet away from the gate of Shangjing.

Mu Yi and the others saw that they had reached the edge of Shangjing, they dismounted early and were going to lead the horse in.After all, he has been traveling outside for so long, even if Mu Yi has no feelings for this city, he still has to worry about his little wife.

Several people led the horses and walked slowly, and Mu Yi saw that there were people in twos and threes around them. It could not be said that they formed a crowd, but it was like having a tea party. They didn’t do any work or sell their goods. The melon seeds and peanuts were all crowded together, and it didn't look like they were talking about some funny jokes.

"Look at them," Mu Yi pointed to the surroundings, leaning towards Yelu Jin'e, "What do you think they are talking about?"

"See how you can tell?" Yelu Jin'e laughed, "If you're curious, just listen and ask."

Anyway, Zuo is nothing more than someone's horse being stolen, and someone's young daughter-in-law secretly taking the neighbor's knife.She sometimes hears that the manager in Shangjing has nothing to report on weekdays, so she just uses these trivial things to fool her brother, and she is used to hearing it.

Mu Yi walked up curiously, pretending to pass by and listened a few times.But the more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. When others found him, his expression could no longer be described by the word serious, which seemed less serious.

"Little brother, what are you doing here? How do you eavesdrop on other people's conversation?" The elder brother who seemed to be the organizer had a very ugly face.They can't say these words in the city, otherwise how many of their brothers can hide and say them outside the city?Those who didn't believe in evil and talked nonsense in the city were all captured by that Commander Xiao!

Speaking of that Commander Xiao.Ordinarily, the common people had no chance to contact him, but this time the emperor's mission was assigned to him to carry out, which frightened them.

Sure enough, people in the imperial court are not easy to mess with!

Arresting people at every turn, arresting people even if they say the wrong thing, those people have not been released until now, are they all arrested and prepared to fight as the old man Ge next door said?

Incredible!

Thinking of this, he became even more angry, and pointed his fingers at Mu Yi's nostrils: "Brother, what are you doing? Who told you that you can eavesdrop on other people's conversations?"

Mu Yi was in a daze, he had been settling in his own world, unable to return to his senses.Yelu Jin'e was brushing the horse's mane and waiting for him. Looking back, the old man's hand was about to be inserted into Muyi's nostril, and she was instantly angry.She rushed up a few steps, thinking that the other party was an old man, she was afraid that she would be scolded by Mu Yi if she moved her hand, so she restrained herself hastily.

"Isn't what you say is meant for people to hear? Otherwise, what are you all saying? Just don't listen to anyone!"

Yelu Jin'e has always been a first-class fighter in war and quarrels, as long as she takes the lead, she can only cry out for others' sake, and there will never be a day when she herself loses.

Seeing that the eloquent old man was speechless for a moment, his face flushed, and he didn't know how to deal with it after thinking about it for a long time, so he forced out a sentence for her: "Whose girl are you! "

"Me?" Yelu Jin'e smiled happily, "He came from the sky! Do you know me?"

"... Nonsense... nonsense!" The old man's face was flushed, as if he was going to faint from anger at any moment.When Mu Yi came back to his senses, he happened to see the old man bursting with vitality and Yelu Jin'e, who was in high spirits, and the girl was still happy there with her hips akimbo.Mu Yi took a look, and immediately took the person away.

"Hey... hey! I haven't said enough!"

Now the old man has gained a lot of prestige.Regardless of the fact that just now it was the young man who was scolded by him by pointing at his nose and took the little girl away for him, he suddenly became happy, showing his broken teeth and smiling: "Hehehe, just say that your little girl has to accumulate points. Kou De, otherwise, I won't be able to get married!"

"You!" Yelu Jin'e was dragged by Mu Yi, and she couldn't break free from his embrace, so she could only shout to show that she would not admit defeat at all: "I have a husband! I have it!"

It's just that they haven't officially married yet.

She stuck out her tongue at herself, temporarily pretending to forget this unpleasant detail, and happily turned around and hugged Mu Yi's arm: "Muyi Muyi, why were you so dazed just now?"

Mu Yi lowered his head and looked at her expressionlessly, hesitant to speak.

Forget it, even if she told her, she could only worry about it alone, and she might cause trouble again.When he returned to Shangjing, it was not his turn to wipe her buttocks.

It doesn't matter if you don't talk about it, after all, it's Muyi's business alone.

"I'll take you back to the palace."

"Going back to the palace?" Yelu Jin'e's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief, "We just came back!"

I haven't had enough fun yet, how could I be thrown back to the palace?During the days when she was not in Shangjing, she didn't know how many new and interesting things came out of Shangjing. She hadn't seen and tried it yet!

"I don't want to go back!"

Seeing Mu Yi's expressionless face, Yelu Jin'e was extremely wronged, the two of them were fine when they were outside, why did they become like this when they came back to Beijing?

She hesitated for a while, then asked cautiously, "Do you...don't like Shangjing? Or don't like me being a princess, or don't like my brother?"

She pouted aggrievedly and was angry, "I always feel that it will be different once you step into Shangjing."

Mu Yi stopped his footsteps that were about to fly, stood up straight and stared at her.

"What are you thinking about?" He sighed deeply, "I didn't know you were so fond of thinking so much before."

He held Yelu Jin'e's little face in his hands.His favorite pair of eyes seemed to be ready to open the gates, already seeping out little by little, making Mu Yi amused and heartbroken.He reached out to wipe it off for her, and then continued, "When I met you and liked you, you were already a princess with a huge territory and a brother who loved you deeply. If I don't like you, don't mind these things , you said I would... still show love to you?"

Yelu Jin'e raised her eyes and glared at him.Mu Yi stretched out his hand to cover her eyes, and said softly, "I like you very much, I also like your growing environment, I love everything about you. Do you like this promise?"

"Barely like it." She muttered, still very unhappy.

"Back to Shangjing, we have important things to do. You are obedient, I will go to you in a few days, okay?" Mu Yi hugged her in his arms like a four-year-old child and kept coaxing her , this is considered coaxing.

Mu Yi let out a long breath, collected himself, and the words he heard just now reverberated in his mind.

The author has something to say:
