After drinking tea, the three of them started a new round of discussion.
On the other side of the palace, Yan Xingxuan was thinking of an excuse to tell his mother to go to Xiao Mansion to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Seeing that he was restless and frowning from time to time, the Queen Mother pursed her lips and smiled softly, and glanced at Aunt Ning beside her.
Master and servant have been together for many years and have a good understanding of each other.
Just by making eye contact, you will know what each other means.
"Xiao Liu, you are thinking about your sweetheart outside the palace. Do you want to leave?"
"That's for sure, empress."
"I won't open my mouth to see if he can't help it."
……
As a result, after waiting for a long time, there was no excuse from Yan Xingxuan, but the emperor came instead.
The emperor came with Prince Kang and his family.
After Yan Changxia came over, he first glared at Yan Xingxuan angrily.
Yan Xingxuan was still thinking of an excuse. He glanced back casually and stopped looking at it, which made Yan Changxia very angry.
She had heard that Uncle Wang went to the Imperial Academy again before and stayed there for half a month. He must have had a special meal, right?
Woo hoo, will Uncle Wang’s heart really not hurt if she is left to eat pig food in the house?
Ah, by the way, Uncle Wang is heartbroken and has no conscience.
It’s weird that it hurts!
Bah!
She is delusional!
I miss my sister so much, and I also miss my sister’s cooking.
The Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet will be better than the palace banquet.
At least the food can be eaten when it is hot, but with Uncle Huang around, everyone will definitely be more restrained and unable to stop eating.
Yan Changxia calculated that it would be better to go back home and eat pig food.
But don’t say this nonsense, just think about it.
So, when can she leave the palace to meet her sister?
Woohoo, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, my sister will definitely go back to Xiao Mansion and cook a lot of delicious food, right?
There will definitely be mooncakes, but what about meat dishes?
Recently, she feels that the meat at home doesn't taste good anymore, and she only wants to eat the meat cooked by her sister.
Naturally, it is impossible for all the concubines to be present at the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet.
To put it bluntly, the concubines are also the emperor's concubines. At this time, only the queen of the middle palace can accompany her. No matter how favored the others are, they can only spend the festival in their respective palaces.
Of course, occasionally the emperor would come with his beloved concubine.
His Majesty once brought his concubine to a family banquet, and then the Queen Mother called all the concubines over, and everyone had a good time together.
After that, no matter how much the imperial concubine behaved, the emperor never brought her again.
It’s true that his mother is really good at causing trouble.
As soon as the palace concubine arrived, the family banquet turned into a bloody harem fight, and the quarrel gave him a headache.
As soon as the emperor sat down for a while, someone from the palace came to report that it was Yu Jijiu and Xiao Siye who requested permission to enter the palace.
Asking for permission to enter the palace during a big festival?
The emperor was puzzled, but most of these two people were really in a hurry. Although he occasionally got carried away by beauty, he was indeed diligent in political matters.
Therefore, as soon as the palace official reported it, he got up and went back to deal with it.
When Yan Xingxuan heard that Xiao Siye had entered the palace, he became even more unable to sit still.
The Queen Mother watched on the side and couldn't help but smile and said: "Yu Jijiu and Xiao Siye have worked really hard to cultivate many outstanding students for our Dajin. Now during the holidays, they are too busy to spend time with their families. Xiao Liu
Ah, please go on my behalf and deliver some mooncakes to the two houses, and Yunhua will come over to express your comfort."
Yunhua is the top grade tea.
While she was talking, the Queen Mother had already waved to Aunt Ning to go get something from the private treasury.
Yan Xingxuan never expected that before he could come up with an excuse, his mother would arrange for him to leave the palace.
It was still the place he wanted to go to most at this time!
Although he just went back and forth, it somewhat eased his thoughts of missing him, and he also wanted to spend the holidays with Xiao Nianzhi.
Sometimes, just a moment together can make people satisfied.
Anyway, Yan Xingxuan's original anxious mood has been calmed down.
After reacting, he hurriedly said a series of nice words, making the Queen Mother smile brightly and joked: "You stupid boy, you are becoming more and more unwilling to stay with the Queen Mother."
This was unacceptable. Yan Xingxuan coaxed him for a while and then was dismissed by the Queen Mother.
The queen had some guesses in her mind. When she thought about the recent incident of Mr. Yan Xingxuan running away to the Imperial College, these guesses became clearer.
Princess Kang watched more than anyone else, after all, Yan Changxia often chirped to her.
The little girl is stupid and can't see anything, but people who have been with Princess Kang have long understood.
The sixteenth brother's thoughts...
Well, it doesn’t look very innocent.
As for Xiao Nianzhi's background, Princess Kang felt that it was not a big problem.
Her background is not high, it can only be said that she was born in a scholarly family, which gives her a slight advantage.
Although Xiao Nianzhi is a peasant girl, she has a clean financial background and has nothing to fault.
It really raises the question, the virtuous concubine in the harem is still married for the second time.
Although it was originally a check and balance method by His Majesty to win over the Qingliu forces, didn't she also give birth to a princess and secure her position as a concubine?
Therefore, Princess Kang felt that as long as her wealth was innocent and her background was lower, the Queen Mother would not choose her.
But thinking about the delicacies prepared by Xiao Nianzhi, Princess Kang was actually a little bit ready to eat.
So, how do you get rid of your clingy and greedy husband and quietly go have a try?
There are a lot of good things in the Queen Mother's Palace. Aunt Ning had been ordered in advance. In addition to two cakes of tea, she also picked some plain jewelry and put them in a red lacquer box.
They were given to both mansions. In terms of official rank, Yu Jijiu was above Xiao Siye. Since Xiao Siye's house had a jewelry box, Yuji Jiu must also show some signs of it.
Aunt Ning packed a few books and put them into a box of about the same size.
The mooncakes were prepared by the imperial kitchen, and she also put them into the snack box.
All the items were prepared and handed over to Laishun.
Although the Queen Mother released him, if Yan Xingxuan was not present at the family banquet in the evening, the scene would not be pretty after all.
Therefore, I repeatedly told him to remember to come back in time and not to get too wild.
The last few sentences are very meaningful.
After hearing this, Yan Xingxuan understood that his mother probably knew what he was thinking.
He has nothing to hide his thoughts.
In addition to considering that Xiao Nianzhi is still in the period of filial piety and it is difficult to mention marriage, plus he is not sure about the little girl's thoughts, Yan Xingxuan even wants to declare his sovereignty in a big way to let others rest their thoughts early.
Unfortunately, it’s not possible yet.
The most important thing is to think about it. He can't do the thing of forcibly marrying and robbing.
Yan Xingxuan soon left the palace happily, with cheerful footsteps and the sound of horse hooves, making everyone happy.
At this time, Xiao Nianzhi had followed the Xiao brothers back to the Xiao Mansion and was discussing the menu for the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet with Aunt Qin and Walnut Dazao.
"Girl, how do you stir-fry this meat dish?"
"What about this?"
"Just let the big girl make the decision. Big girl, just leave it alone. I'll do it. I'll do it."
