After the prosperous Tang Dynasty

Xiao Yansui is not a real child, she will be emotionally affected by little things, Mrs. Xu Guogong's Mrs. He Shi's preference for Xiao Nianru has no effect on her at all.

After all, the relationship between people gradually deepens when they get along with each other. From the beginning when she was born in Xiao's family, Xiao Yansui has always had a complete logic of thinking and memory, and even the existence of her parents and elders who raised her in her previous life ...

Xiao Yansui's relationship with his grandfather Xiao Song, his mother Pei's father Xiao Hua, and his elder brothers Xiao Heng and Xiao Wu was gradually deepened during years of getting along.

As for Xu Guogong's wife, Mrs. He, to give an inappropriate example, there is an old lady in the neighborhood who is very obnoxious. Just let her go!

At most, when she really said sarcastic remarks to Xiao Yansui, Xiao Yansui went back directly "hehe", it's not a big deal, most people probably wouldn't be caught by an insignificant colleague who can only say a few words The old lady in the neighborhood is so angry that she is in a hurry, isn't she?

Mrs. Xu Guogong's wife, He Shi, was still holding the hand of Xiao Nianru, a little grandchild girl whom she had finally met, talking to her more and more joyfully.

Mrs. Pei and Xiao Hua were sitting by the side, seeing this situation, out of preference for her own daughter, Mrs. Pei was somewhat dissatisfied in her heart.

However, thinking about Xiao Yansui's usual attitude, Pei also felt that it was indeed not a big deal.

The mother-in-law is the granddaughter who is partial to the other house, and that is at most just a few words of face, but Xiao Song's heart is clear. Yes, who is his precious granddaughter, who is the same family of the Xiao family? It's just a junior, the elder in the family, Xiao Song, who is in charge of the house, has a clear mind, and that's enough. Mrs. Xu Guogong's behavior, her son Xiao Hua is in the eyes, and his own daughter Xiao Hua Yan Sui simply ignored all of this, why would she be angry with the confused old lady?

Xiao Yansui, who was still waiting here for Xiao Song, was not interested in the bustle of Xu Guogong's wife He's side, Xiao Nianru and others.

In the evening, twilight fell.

Xiao Yansui took a book casually in his hand, turned the pages casually, and read slowly, only waiting for his grandfather Xiao Song to come back.

Recently, it seems that at the border between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, there are some turmoil.Therefore, Xuanzong often kept Xiao Song in the Xingqing Palace to discuss matters, until it was almost dark, and finally he was willing to let him go.

The maid who was in charge in Xiao Song's courtyard saw Xiao Yansui sitting there all the time, seemingly unaffected, but she felt a little anxious in her heart.

The maid quietly went to the yard three or two times, and asked other maids and servants under her command, and learned that Mrs. Xu Guogong's Mrs. He's side, although seeing the sky getting late, already had the intention of holding a dinner party, but, due to Before Xiao Song came back, Mrs. Pei took the conversation as if nothing had happened, and privately ordered Yun Yan and others, who were capable servants around her, to tell the kitchen to prepare all the dishes for the dinner first, but don't be in a hurry Waiting for the food to be served, everything will be discussed when Xiao Song comes back.

In fact, apart from Xiao Song being the head of Duke Xu's family, who must have been waiting for him to come back, the Pei family also had their own selfish motives.

Mrs. Xu Guogong's wife, Mrs. He's heart is biased. It just so happens that Xiao Song's heart is actually biased too. However, it doesn't matter which direction He's biased towards. Anyway, he definitely doesn't want to see Xiao Yansui, but Xiao Song and her are exactly the same. On the contrary, the granddaughter is of course the dearest and dearest to the family.It's etiquette to praise other people's little girls out of face, but if you really want to derogate your own children too much, then it's inappropriate...

Mrs. Pei knew that her daughter Xiao Yansui didn't care, but any mother probably wouldn't like the fact that her mother-in-law, Mrs. He, used her own daughter as a raft to support the daughters of relatives at her family's banquet. ?

In Xu Guogong's mansion, under the lively laughter hidden on the surface, Xu Guogong's wife, Mrs. He's eccentricity, and these little tricks described by Pei's understatement, the maid in charge of Xiao Songyuan has already vaguely felt it. There were undercurrents surging during the period, but Xiao Yansui, who never bothered to worry about this kind of place, still didn't know anything about it.

Finally, the last smear of dark red sunset glow in the sky had been burnt out recklessly, and Xiao Song's gorgeous and comfortable carriage finally parked in the courtyard smoothly.

Hearing the movement, Xiao Yansui swiftly tapped the book in his hand on the desk next to him, "Ah Weng is back!" He made a gesture to go out to meet him.

The maid hurriedly said: "The wind just picked up outside!" While speaking, someone had already taken a cloak and lightly put it on Xiao Yansui's shoulders.

Xiao Yansui stopped for a while, and let the maid help her tidy up her cloak, before striding out the door and heading straight towards Xiao Song, "Ah Weng, I have been waiting for you all afternoon! "

Although Xiao Song's main courtyard is very large, the place where the He family lives is next to Xiao Song's.Before, Xiao Yansui had been staying in the house quietly. He, Xiao Hua, and Pei knew all about it, but due to various reasons, they would not take the initiative to mention it. Xiao Nianru and his party naturally also Never noticed it at all.

When Xiao Song came back, the chariots, horses, servants and guards in the courtyard were very grand, and Xiao Yansui went out to greet him in person, the group of He's people naturally heard the movement.

Xiao Nianru subconsciously turned her head and glanced over through the window. After hearing a girl's brisk voice calling "Ah Weng", she immediately realized that this person should be the only little cousin in Xu Guogong's residence, Xiao Nianru. Yan Sui is gone.

As the grandmother, the He family and Qin Su's daughter Xiao Yansui looked down on each other. In Xu Guogong's mansion, it was an open secret known to Xiao Song, down to the maids and servants. However, outside Xu Guogong's mansion, This matter, even if it is because of my own face, is not known to others.

So, just now, I have been really feeling the kindness and love of Mrs. Xu Guogong's Mrs. He Shi, even if it was out of the mentality of reciprocating, Xiao Nianru's blushing face immediately showed a little joyful smile, and she took the initiative to speak Dao asked: "That was Liu Niang just now, right? I also brought some gifts for my sister..."

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room, which was still full of people just now, stagnated strangely.

Xiao Nianru and his party didn't know about the twists and turns in Xu Guogong's family. He had always had good intentions for the only little cousin here. What's more, out of "to please the mistress Pei, it's better to treat her directly." Good girl" thinking, knowing that Xiao Yansui is a girl in Xu Guogong's mansion, and Xiao Nianru had indeed specially prepared a girl's gift for her early in the morning...

He Shi gently held Xiao Nianru's hand, and was stunned for a moment.

On the other side, on the way back, Xiao Song heard the guard sent by his family to deliver the letter to him about the arrival of Xiao Nianru and his party.

However, Xiao Song was still very happy to see his precious granddaughter in his yard at this moment, he didn't mention anything about Xiao Nianru and his party, instead he patted Xiao Yansui's head and said softly: "What's the matter! Liu Niang is in a hurry to find Ah Weng, presumably there is something important?"

"Yes," Xiao Yansui nodded seriously, and then said, "Let's go to the study and talk about it?"

After hearing this, Xiao Song immediately knew that Xiao Yansui's next words meant that he didn't want others to hear him. Although he was a little surprised, he nodded his head and said with a smile, "Naturally."

The grandfather and grandson turned their heads and went to the study to talk about things. The maid was also interested, and after delivering a pot of hot tea, she withdrew by herself without making a sound, and waited for Xiao Song to come out of the study.

After hearing Xiao Nianru's words, Mrs. Pei smiled in a really happy mood, stood up gracefully, and smiled at Xiao Nianru: "San Niang has a heart, your sister Liu Niang is very lively. I like playing around in her yard by myself the most, if you don’t mind, you can go to her yard to play with her, if there is something weird and weird that you like, just ask her directly.”

Xiao Nianru shook her head hastily, just smiled and said softly: "I didn't see my sister in the past, but this time I have the opportunity, I will definitely go to Liu Niang's place to bother you a few times."

Mrs. Pei smiled unconsciously when she heard this, she glanced lightly at Mrs. He, Mrs. Xu Guogong who was almost numb, and Mrs. Pei bent her lips, and smiled at Xiao Hua who had a helpless wry smile on her face , and said: "Wait for the banquet, I'll go and have a look first."

After all, he went out to get busy.

Taking Xiao Yansui directly into his study room, Xiao Song just held the cup in his hand, and in his eyes showing a bit of an old look, there was a flash of light.

Xiao Song looked at his granddaughter with a smile, he stroked his beautiful beard with a slight doubt on his face.

"Ah Weng, has the East Palace encountered any trouble recently?" Xiao Yansui asked without ambiguity.

Xiao Song paused for a moment while stroking the white beard, and said in a serious tone, "How did you know that?" After all, Xiao Song knew that his granddaughter didn't like to go out, so the news was usually not well-informed.

Xiao Yansui replied: "At the banquet today, it happened that Li Wenning, the daughter of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, was walking with Princess Ningqin. I think there is something wrong with the expression on her face."

At this time, it was not a secret between the court and the central government. Xiao Song thought for a moment, and then replied directly: "Two days ago, Yang Shenjin, the censor Zhongcheng, impeached Wei Jian, saying that he, as a relative of the emperor, had a close relationship with the border general. Very close."

"Border general..." Xiao Yansui murmured subconsciously after listening, "Longyou Jiedu Envoy Huangfu Weiming?"

Xiao Song gently reminded his precious granddaughter: "He also took the position of Hexi Jiedushi."

Xiao Song returned to Beijing from the Hexi Jiedu envoy to pay homage to the prime minister, so he cared more about the position of the Hexi Jiedu envoy than the Longyou envoy.

"Is it just Yushi Zhongcheng's impeachment?" Xiao Yansui glanced at Xiao Song, "Isn't it?"

Xiao Song blinked at his granddaughter, and continued to say kindly: "If it's just like this, it really shouldn't be like this."

——If you don't form a party and seek personal gain, who doesn't have a few close friends in the court?

Xiao Yansui didn't even need to think about it, "I remember that Li Linfu has always been prejudiced against the position of Prince Li Heng. Has he made a move?"

Xiao Song pulled his beard and said softly: "Yang Shenjin's impeachment was instigated by him. Later, Li Linfu secretly reported to the saint, saying that Wei Jian, Huangfu Weiming and others conspired to establish a crown prince together!"

No matter what time it is, the relationship between the emperor and the prince, apart from the father-son relationship that is left unknown, is more about the power game in the court.

After a pause, Xiao Song suddenly looked at Xiao Yansui, and asked straightforwardly, "Why are you so concerned about the East Palace all of a sudden?"

Xiao Yansui's expression didn't change at all, he looked at his grandfather Xiao Song innocently, and said calmly: "I know Li Chu, Li Tan, Li Wenning!"

"That's it?" Xiao Song looked at his granddaughter suspiciously.

"Otherwise?" Xiao Yansui also looked at him and asked without answering.
