Queen Shangguan Xia looked at Mu Yingbao. After all, she was the owner in this big tent.

"Your Highness Ninth, come in." Mu Yingbao had already spoken.

Xunying, a young man, had a very awkward moment before, but since he reached the Western Xiang Dynasty, the child's attitude towards the generals of Yanguo has been completely different.

Tuzi and the others told Mu Yingbao that he became more and more pleasing to the Ninth Highness.

"Xun Ying has met his wife." After Xun Ying came in, he greeted Mu Yingbao.

"Your Highness Ninth, you can't sit here anymore, just sit next to you?" Mu Yingbao asked with a smile.

"Okay." Xun Ying was very happy and sat down on the chair next to them, and glanced at the small square table in front of them.

Nanzhu stepped forward to help pour tea, and brought Xunying another cup.

"Does Your Highness Ninth want to use snacks?" Nanzhu asked softly.

"Thank you, no need." Xun Ying responded very politely.

After about half an hour, it was time to have lunch. Now I have had snacks and I can’t eat it when the good food is served.

Shangguan Xia looked at her son, then looked at Mu Yingbao. Xun Ying was the son she gave birth to. She grew up in front of her. He is thirteen years old this year.

However, after his son Xunying returned from Yanguo this time, he seemed to have become a different person.

It became a self-doubt for Shangguan Xia. Is this really her son inquiring Ying?

The biggest change is her words and deeds. How to say it? She really can't think of appropriate words to describe it in detail.

It was like, before, Xunying was the same as other children, with rules and politeness.

Now, it is like the flowers in the flower bed, and the vines grow freely and grow into the flower bed, but they are full of vitality, making people unable to bear to force prune it, and they think this is also good.

It is said that a person's temperament changes a lot, and all of them are related to any major changes that they have encountered, and they basically become bad.

But this son, Shangguan Xia, felt that he was much cute than the obedient and polite son before.

She was so cute that she would sneak into someone else's kitchen and steal vegetables for her to taste.

Although this behavior was very bad, Shangguan Xia felt very pleased and happy, and she couldn't bear to scold and punish her.

...

In the imperial study of the Xixiang Palace, Emperor Zhou Hong had already confirmed that the Duke of Xue from Yanguo was in charge of the army and went to Linjing to join the troops of Xixiang, and continued to recover the city captured by Wu Yu.

Zhou Hong sat behind the desk, flipping around and over again, and he didn't read what was on it.

Eunuch Chen watched quietly from the side, unable to figure out what His Majesty the Emperor was feeling at this time, and he could not tell what he was thinking now.

Neither was happy because of the continued help of Yan's troops, he could completely defeat all the Wuyu thief soldiers from Xixiang, nor was he worried about what would happen to the Western Xiang after Yan's troops defeated the Wuyu thief soldiers? Is it really as they said that the Wuyu thief soldiers would go back to Yan's country.

Outside the imperial study room, a group of ministers had been waiting for a long time and had not returned for lunch.

Several times, I asked the eunuch to see His Majesty's mood. After the eunuch came to the door and looked into it, they all said to them, "No, Eunuch Chen has a warning expression several times.

The ministers were even more afraid to disturb him. He heard from the people serving His Majesty that His Majesty didn't even eat a few bites of lunch at noon.

Just as everyone discussed how to let His Majesty meet everyone, Eunuch Chen came out and let them in.

"What's the matter with you all?" Zhou Hong asked without even replying with his hands behind his back.

"Your Majesty, I learned that the Empress and Concubine Yu were also known. The Third Princess went to Yanguo camp in the morning and has not returned yet. I wonder if Your Majesty is worried about this?" A minister asked cautiously.

Zhou Hong turned around and looked at the person who spoke; "The queen had already sent someone back to let him know. It was Mrs. Xue who left them there for dinner. What should I worry about?"

"Ahem, Your Majesty, this is inappropriate for the Queen. After all, she is the mother of our country in Xixiang. It is already very risky to meet Mrs. Xue, but why are you still staying there for food?"

"That's right, Your Majesty, although Xue Wenyu has already led his troops out of here, it doesn't mean that his wife is safe, right? Your Majesty, you won't know that, the former emperor of Yanguo, ended up dead and was soaked in feces. What's the idea that he wants to truly be infatuated for thousands of years was made by Xue Wenyu's wife.

The person who can come up with such a poisonous idea is still for the young woman, which is enough to show that she is a very poisonous person.”

It started again, and it started again. Zhou Hong looked at the ministers in front of him with worried expressions, and really didn't know what to say.

"Your Majesty, why not give an order now, saying that there is an urgent matter to summon the Empress to the palace. See what will happen. It would be fine if the Empress comes back safely. Otherwise, Your Majesty must find a way to save the Empress quickly." Seeing that the Emperor was silent, he was anxious.

Among the several ministers who came in, there was also the oldest, the Minister of Rites, and he was the only one who looked at the emperor without saying a word.

"Shangshu Fang, you are in here, why don't you say anything?" The colleague next to you reminded in a low voice.

The gray-haired Shangshu Fang shook his head and still looked at the emperor. He found a very serious problem, that is, since His Majesty brought the troops of Yanguo from His Highness to the Ninth Kingdom and relieved the danger of the capital, his whole body became very abnormal and mysterious.

That is, he was not happy to be able to defeat the Wuyu bandits, nor did he worry about the Western Xiang Dynasty.

"Dear friends, I would like to thank you for your concerns for the Queen, but for the moment, the family should focus on other matters. For example, the restoration places, the construction of cities is damaged, and the destroyed homes of the people must also be taken care of.

Although the Wuyu thief soldiers have not been completely driven out, there is no suspense about this matter. Go to various places to check the situation of the granary. If there is any, open the warehouse and release the grain immediately, formulate tax reductions and exemptions to appease the people. The most important thing is now.

Okay, I'm a little tired, I won't go to court in the afternoon, so I'll go back." After Zhou Hong finished speaking, he ignored everyone's reactions and walked behind the bookshelf.

After hearing this, the adults naturally knew that the emperor's words were reasonable, but other responsible adults had already done these things.

"My sirs, Your Majesty has made it clear. Let's go back and perform their duties." Eunuch Chen briefly persuaded and made a gesture of invitation. The ministers had no choice but to go out.

In the imperial study room, it was quiet again.

After a long time, Emperor Zhou Hong said, "What do you think about Mrs. Xue? Why did she keep the queen and the others for meals? What happened to the queen? How could she respond?"

Eunuch Chen tilted his head and thought seriously; "I think Mrs. Xue's move is to understand His Majesty's thoughts about them through the Empress? The reason why the Empress promised to stay for lunch was the same as hers. She wanted to understand their true intentions through this Mrs. Xue...
