Chapter 444 Xie Family
As Li finished speaking, who was this person? Her name was almost ready to be spoken.
The Queen Mother took a breath.
She even thought that the person who died more than ten years ago was reincarnated immediately after death and was now a teenager. She did not expect that this person was actually Niu Niu, but Niu Niu had just turned eight years old.
By the time the little girl reached haircut, the emperor was already very old.
Moreover, Niu Niu had lived in Shoukang Palace for so long, and the Queen Mother had already doted on her as if she were her own granddaughter, and even intended to grant marriage to Niu Niu and Li Xuan.
Mrs. Li is telling the Queen Mother the truth now, just to embarrass the Queen Mother.
"Nonsense!" the Queen Mother scolded.
Grandma Sun also had some affection for Niu Niu, and immediately struck Li with a whip: "You still dare to bite Niu Niu!"
Mrs. Li was beaten to pieces but did not change her words. Instead, she looked straight at the Queen Mother and said: "The Queen Mother, as soon as she entered the palace, I lost power one after another. Have you forgotten all this?"
"No matter how dangerous she encounters, she can turn danger into good fortune. In the previous life, the emperor was in great danger when encountering a tiger, but when the tiger saw the queen, he became even more well-behaved than a raccoon slave. In this life, her father has been taking exams for so many years She has never been selected as a scholar, but after adopting her, she rose to the top and became the number one scholar. Is this an ordinary person? "
The Queen Mother's heart sank. There was something strange about Niu Niu. In the past, the Queen Mother always felt proud of having a lucky child. Now she just couldn't bear the thought of such a possibility.
After being whipped for a long time, Mrs. Li finally showed a happy expression on her face, as if seeing the Queen Mother in a dilemma made her very happy.
"As long as your majesty marries the child, you will have a grandson. You don't want the country to fall into the hands of a side branch...ah!"
Before she could finish her confusing words, Grandma Sun's whip fell like raindrops.
"The Empress Dowager, Mrs. Li has bad intentions, and I request that she be sent back to the Sentence Department for the time being." Grandma Sun said.
The Queen Mother nodded and said: "Deal with her. Don't let her run away and talk nonsense to the emperor."
When Grandma Sun returned from sending people off, the Queen Mother was still sitting on the chair, looking at a potted plant not far away, with half of her face shrouded in shadow, making it unclear what she was thinking.
"Empress, are you still thinking about Mrs. Li's words?" Grandma Sun asked softly.
The Queen Mother sighed and said, "The Ai family has never enjoyed the pleasures of ordinary people such as having fun with their grandchildren and having fun in front of them."
Grandma Sun said: "What Li said may not be true. It's impossible to say that she just doesn't like Niu Niu and sincerely wants to harm Niu Niu."
The Queen Mother shook her head and said: "No wonder Niu Niu looks familiar to the Ai family. The little princess in the Ai family's dream is her daughter. How can it not look familiar to her?"
Grandma Sun hesitated for a long time before asking: "Empress Dowager, do you really want Niu Niu..."
The Queen Mother said: "The Li family wants to watch the Ai family do this, but the Ai family cannot do this."
The Queen Mother has been in the palace for so many years, and she knows that even if your enemy seems to be doing your best, and the suggestions he makes seem to be for your own good, you cannot follow the opponent's rhythm. After all, no one knows the enemy's suggestions. What kind of pit is hidden in it?
"The Queen Mother, what about the Prince..." Grandma Sun asked cautiously.
"Do you still remember that something happened to the Gu family before and we forced Niu Niu to stay in the palace?" the Queen Mother said.
Grandma Sun felt a sudden change in her heart. Leaving someone in at that time not only made Niu Niu unconscious, but also made Concubine Shun feel uncomfortable in her stomach.
"What do you mean, we can only follow Niuniu and not go against her?" asked Grandma Sun.
The Queen Mother nodded and said: "Outsiders don't know the truth about fate. What kind of person is Li? She has been favored by the harem for more than ten years with the help of stolen money. She has made many big mistakes in the past, but the emperor has forgiven her for them all. This shows the profound influence of this fate.”
"Perhaps people like Niu Niu are born to enjoy blessings when they come to the world. If they are forced to stay, they may have endless troubles. The Ai family now only hopes that she can take a liking to Li Xuan, and at least she can guarantee the status of my Li family. "The Queen Mother said.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Shun may not have a princess in her womb." Grandma Sun advised.
The Queen Mother nodded perfunctorily. She paid the price of losing her grandson and barely saved Niu Niu. After thinking about all this, the Queen Mother only felt exhausted.
Niu Niu had no idea that she almost got into trouble. Xie Xingchuan felt sorry for the little girl and stayed at Gu's house to stay with Niu Niu for several days.
"Brother, do you want to go back to the border town? Can you not go back? The New Year is coming soon, can you celebrate the New Year with me?" Niu Niu chattered a lot with her small mouth.
Xie Xingchuan shook his head and said: "I came back this time because the border town had just won a great victory and my father was too busy, so he asked me to come back to accept the reward for him. I will set off on the fifth day of the lunar month."
As for the Chinese New Year, he actually wanted to stay with the Gu family, but the Xie family's problems couldn't be ignored by procrastination.
There was a hint of disappointment in Niu Niu's eyes and she said: "Today is the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, so I can only stay in the capital for ten days!"
As the New Year approaches, the yamen are closed one after another. Niu Niu has not returned to the palace to go to school since she was assassinated. She has been going crazy at home these days and is really reluctant to leave Xie Xingchuan.
"I'm back!"
Gu Zhao's voice suddenly sounded from outside, and he rushed in like a little firecracker.
"My dear, have you missed me?"
Gu Zhao and Gu Yan came back together. Baiyun Academy was on holiday, and Old Doctor Yan also let Gu Zhao come back.
"I thought about it! I think of my third brother when I eat something delicious, and I also think of my third brother when I eat something not delicious." Niu Niu said seriously.
As for why she thinks of Gu Zhao when something is not delicious, of course it is because Gu Zhao is not picky about food and is willing to be Niu Niu's trash can and eat things that Niu Niu doesn't like to eat.
Gu Zhao is easy to deal with and was very happy to hear this.
Gu Yan smiled gently at Xie Xingchuan. Even though he knew that Xie Xingchuan was younger than him, Xie Xingchuan was now a head taller than him. Gu Yan really couldn't treat Xie Xingchuan the way he treated his younger brother.
"Brother Xie, come on, teach me some new shooting skills. I feel like I've practiced well. Take a look!" Gu Zhao tried to take Xie Xingchuan's gun next to him.
But as soon as he got it in his hand, he felt it was heavy and couldn't move it at all.
Niu Niu reminded him: "Brother, Brother Xie doesn't like others to touch his gun. That day, Sister Ling wanted to touch it, but he refused to let her."
Xie Xingchuan waved his hand and said: "We are family, it's okay."
Gu Zhao shook his head: "Forget it, I'll show you a stick."
Gu Zhao had learned a set of gun techniques from Xie Xingchuan before. Now he was playing with a stick. It can only be said that the gun techniques he showed were not exactly the same as what Xie Xingchuan taught him, but they were completely unrelated.
Xie Xingchuan frowned and watched him finish his gun techniques. When he was urged to say what he thought, he hesitated for a long time before saying: "A Zhao, I still have to thank you."
Gu Zhao was a stubborn person. When he heard this, he immediately forgot about playing with the gun and asked: "Thank me for what?"
"The medicinal materials in the sachet, the birthday gift you and Niu Niu gave me, saved my life on the battlefield." Xie Xingchuan said.
Xie Xingchuan was alone on the battlefield investigating the enemy situation, and escaped with serious injuries. He relied on the medicinal materials placed in the sachet to survive until the reinforcements sent by his father.
The brother and sister realized the danger at that time. Gu Zhao patted his chest and said, "Brother Xie, since it is useful, I will make you a few more medicines and make sachets to take back this time!"
Zhang Yunniang saw the four children gathered together from a distance, and they looked so close that they looked like a family. She couldn't help but smile, but she felt depressed when she thought of the people from the Xie family. But it was not good to keep other people's children at home.
"Xingchuan, your mother sent someone to take you back to the Xie family." Zhang Yunniang said with reluctance.
