Hard to be a shadow guard

The queen mother's birthday, except for the small accident at the beginning, was not satisfactory. Although Xie Yiqian didn't take the emperor's aim at him seriously, he respected the old queen mother who was the only old queen who was still sincere to Prince Rui's mansion.

So the birthday atmosphere was strong that day, and the Empress Dowager accepted the congratulatory gifts from the ministers, and then retreated first due to lack of health, Xie Yiqian also made excuses to plead guilty and resign.

Just when the emperor was out of sight and out of mind, he was still thinking about how to continue to use the hands of his third son to eradicate the remnants of Prince Rui's mansion, so he couldn't care about Xie Yiqian for a while.

All he had to say was "King Rui, don't forget to reflect on yourself", and then waved Xie Yiqian to leave.

As for the grandparents and grandchildren in the Empress Dowager's dormitory laughing together, that's not something the emperor can get in.

But after careful calculation, it was the Queen Mother who was smiling, and Xie Yiqian could only be called a wry smile at best.

In the Hall of Renshou, Xie Yiqian sat beside the queen mother, listening to the queen mother's detailed instructions meekly. Facing the orphan of King Rui, it was rare for the queen mother to wait for Xie Yiqian's visit.

"Yi'er, don't listen to the emperor. He may not be instigated by anyone, so he lost his temper with you. The emperor said you, mourning the family, good boy, don't be sad."

"It's not a bad thing for the emperor to ask you to reflect in the mansion. Take a good rest by yourself. Let's not care about those people in the court, just relax and play."

"Also, you child always doesn't know how to take care of yourself. If the servants in the mansion don't take good care of you, just tell Ai's family that Ai's family will find someone for you."

"You must not be polite to the Ai family. Your father, queen mother and concubine have gone, and there is still the Ai family. Think about the old King Rui, the Ai family is really..."

Speaking of the old man, the Empress Dowager couldn't help feeling sad, and a little water stained the corners of her eyes.

Seeing this, Xie Yiqian had no choice but to comfort him repeatedly: "The queen mother is sad again. If the father, mother and concubine have spirits underground, they know that they have made the queen mother sad, but they should regret it."

"Besides, there is still a minister by your side, shouldn't the Queen Mother be happy?"

Xie Yiqian said, after thinking about it, he picked two interesting things to tell the old lady, and it took him a while to amuse the old man.

The queen mother wiped the teardrops from the corners of her eyes, sighed, looked at the child squatting on her knees, through Xie Yiqian's face, it was inevitable to think of the child raised by her, but looking at Xie Yiqian, the queen mother thought.

"After all, Yi'er has reached the age of marriage, right? Your father is at your age, and the princess has already married back home. How about you, do you have a girl you like?"

Xie Yiqian froze when he heard the words, he really didn't understand why the topic turned to the matter of marrying a wife, he laughed dryly, and was temporarily speechless.

The Queen Mother refused to let her go: "If you tell me, Aijia will give you the palm of your hand, just a girl from a good family, as long as it is what you like, Aijia will agree."

Your favorite……

When the queen mother spoke softly, a figure flashed inexplicably in front of Xie Yiqian's eyes, and his thin figure dimmed his vision.

Xie Yiqian closed his eyes and pressed the figure down, and replied with a clear cough: "The queen mother is joking, I don't have any woman I like, but I do. Now that I haven't made any achievements or achieved half of the merits, how can I ask for her..."

Afterwards, Xie Yiqian gave all his reasons, and finally made the queen mother stop thinking about marrying him, but he deliberately ignored the figure that flashed past his heart.

When he really walked out of the palace gate, it was already the time when the sky was full of sunset.

Tianren, who had been waiting for him for a long time, emerged from the darkness, waiting for Xie Yiqian to board the carriage, and followed him into the carriage.

When the chariots and horses moved slowly, Tianren knelt down on one knee and leaned towards him, and said in a low voice, "My lord, there are clues about what you want my subordinates to investigate..."

The sound of the wheels of the carriage covered the low voice of the report, Xie Yiqian knew very well that the situation was not optimistic, otherwise he would not have let Tianren come out in a hurry before returning home.

However, when Xie Yiqian frowned and ordered the follow-up, Tian Ren was about to dodge to leave, but Xie Yiqian suddenly stopped him, facing Tian Ren's puzzled eyes, Xie Yiqian was speechless for a while.

"What is the Lord's order?" Seeing that Xie Yiqian was in a daze, Tian Ren could only ask again.

Only then did Xie Yiqian come back to his senses, hesitating for a moment, but he still couldn't hold back, and said vaguely: "...this king has seen Xuanying."

"Huh?" Tian Ren was taken aback for a moment, unable to realize what the Lord was talking about.

However, when he suddenly realized where Xie Yiqian came from, his expression changed suddenly, and a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes: "My lord, you said..."
