After seeing Xiao Jingong, Xiao Shu'an took Lin Xiu to Yongshou Palace to meet the Queen Mother.Xiao Jingong was not the only one who worried about her when she left the palace privately, the queen mother was even more worried about her daughter.

Lin Xiu was a little worried on the way: "Shu An, are you afraid of seeing your mother?"

"My mother's queen? Isn't your mother's queen?" There was no one around the two of them, Xiao Shu'an saw Lin Xiu and said the wrong thing to tease her again.

"Our mother's queen, our mother's queen." Lin Xiu quickly changed her words. After being married for so long, she still can't get used to calling the queen mother her mother.Xiao Jingong's place is alright, she usually talks about business, so she can just call her His Majesty directly.Besides, Xiao Jingong knew Lin Xiu's identity, and he didn't regard Lin Xiu as his brother-in-law from the bottom of his heart. Neither of them would mention this relationship very well.But the queen mother is different. The queen mother regards her as her son-in-law.

"Although the queen mother is a bit strict, she has never criticized me since I was a child. In my heart, the queen mother is a loving mother, so I am not afraid."

Lin Xiu was a little timid: "Every time I see my mother, I feel a little scared. I feel guilty when she sees me in her eyes. I always feel that her old eyes can see through everything, so I dare not tell a lie."

Xiao Shu'an smiled and said, "Don't dare to say? I think you have said a lot."

Lin Xiu felt guilty: "Then...then the overall situation is the most important thing."

Xiao Shuan took Lin Xiu's hand considerately, and said with a smile: "There's no need to be afraid, I'm here. The queen mother loves me the most on weekdays, and even the emperor brother can't compete with me for favor. You are my husband, and the queen mother will love the house and the crow. "

Hearing Xiao Shu'an said that he was her husband, Lin Xiu felt elated, yes, she is the one with the support of a daughter-in-law.Thinking of this, I felt less uneasy.

"Mother."

"Meet your mother."

Seeing Queen Mother Chen, Xiao Shu'an enthusiastically went up and took her arm. He didn't pay attention to etiquette at all, but the Queen Mother was very happy about it.She likes to see Xiao Shu'an's delicate and naive appearance the most. Whenever Xiao Shu'an is mature, stable and well-mannered, she is always unhappy. Why should her daughter pay attention to those red tapes when they meet each other.The way it is now is the best.

Xiao Shuan dared to do this, but Lin Xiu did not.She entered the hall and saluted respectfully.

The Empress Dowager's face was quite kind, much better than last time: "Your son-in-law, please excuse me." The empress dowager called her son-in-law instead of the national teacher, which meant that she regarded Lin Xiu as her own family.Hearing this, Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.Obediently sat down next to Xiao Shuan.

"Mother, my son-in-law and I came to see you just after we came back from Hu Yang. Have you read the battle report at the border? The son-in-law has won a big victory this time! Only two months later, he took back Lingzhou in Shunshui and damaged Zhao Guo With more than [-] soldiers, Zhao Guo lost miserably this time, I think they are in a difficult situation." Xiao Shu'an praised Lin Xiu in front of the Queen Mother without hesitation, but Lin Xiu did not dare to take credit.

"It's all thanks to the soldiers. General Chen is skilled in the art of war, and the soldiers are brave and fearless. Actually, I didn't do anything, but I was delayed. I didn't do anything and injured myself. I feel very ashamed."

Lin Xiu said it very modestly. As for whether she has contributed or not, the queen mother has her own estimates. Xiao Shu'an boasted that she just wanted the queen mother to like Lin Xiu, but if Lin Xiuzhen really accepted those credits, the queen mother would definitely not be happy.Lin Xiu was modest, but she was able to win the Queen Mother's approval even more. She is young and not greedy for merit, this is what a virtuous minister should possess.

Empress Dowager Chen said: "I have also heard about the injury of the son-in-law. You have to be careful next time. You are a pillar of the state of Zhou. Your safety is not your business alone. It is also about the state of Zhou and you. wife."

"What the queen mother said is that my son will be careful in the future. This injury really worries Shu An too much. I will definitely pay attention to my own safety in the future." Lin Xiu said with a respectful attitude.

The Empress Dowager nodded and turned to Xiao Shu'an and said: "The son-in-law is injured, I know you are worried. But you shouldn't leave your post without authorization and leave the capital alone. If you go to the palace and tell me, I won't stop you. People left in a panic, without even bringing a single guard." The Empress Dowager Chen was still a little angry when she mentioned this, if something happened to Xiao Shu'an on the road, how could she bear it.After all, Xiao Shu'an is also a princess of a country, so it's outrageous not to take her own safety into consideration.

Xiao Shu'an knew he was wrong, so he didn't argue, and immediately bowed down: "Mother, I made a mistake, so I don't dare to do it next time. Don't be angry with me." As he said, Xiao Shuan shook the Queen Mother's arm. , Shaking out the empress dowager's sentimentality.

It's been a long time since An'er has acted like a spoiled mother.Now for the sake of the son-in-law, she can act like a baby to herself again, she knows in her heart that this is An'er who loves the son-in-law very much.It was originally just a political marriage, but now looking at An Er's performance, it seems that this political marriage may not be inappropriate, sometimes fate is more important than anything else, Lin Xiu may be An Er's fate.

Empress Dowager Chen said: "I used to make your life easier. Don't spend all your time on state affairs. Your brother and ministers have to worry about those things. You are my daughter, not just the princess of Zhou. Remember How did you get back to me before?"

Xiao Shu'an remembered what he said before, deeply felt that this time he had slapped him in the face, so he fell silent in embarrassment.

"You said at that time, 'I am the princess of Zhou State first, then your daughter, and finally myself.' It seems that An'er's thoughts have changed now, which is rare. No matter how much I tried to persuade you before, this Once you get married, you will figure it out yourself." Although the Empress Dowager Chen was teasing Xiao Shu'an in words, anyone with a discerning eye could see the kindness and comfort in her eyes.

Lin Xiudao: "Shu An used to be alone, but now that Shu An and I are married, we are a family. For a family, one person is enough. I will do my best to assist the emperor in matters of the court. Shu An also You can relax a bit and do what you like, I think Shu An is very good at being a heroine general, she is good at it, and she is happy to do it, unlike those trivial things in the court that are too troublesome."

Lin Xiu's words won the hearts of the Empress Dowager, it would be a bit ambitious to completely let Xiao Shu'an leave the court.But Lin Xiu asked Xiao Shu'an to do what she likes and is best at, and it is still a key position. It can be seen that she simply wants to share the pressure, not hegemony.

"En." The queen mother nodded approvingly: "I am very optimistic about the establishment of female soldiers. I think I was also a person who went to the battlefield back then, and my performance was no worse than that of men. If female soldiers are well trained, they will make great achievements in time. Shu An, you must train the female soldiers well."

Before Xiao Shuan could speak, Lin Xiu said: "Don't worry, queen mother, Shu An is as good as you. The female soldiers are well-trained, I think it's very good. Moreover, Shu An himself is also very skilled in martial arts. One move, it's really heroic and handsome! If the female soldiers can be trained to be like Shu An, I don't think the male soldiers will be able to mix in the future."

"You boy, you can speak well!" The Empress Dowager Chen pointed at Lin Xiu with a smile, her eyes full of pride, "But it is true that Shu An's martial arts are better than Jin Gong's. Jin Gong neglected to practice martial arts after he entered politics, but Shu An did not practice martial arts for a day. Didn't fall. Does the son-in-law practice martial arts?"

The queen mother's question touched Lin Xiu's sore spot. She, who had been praising her daughter-in-law for eloquence, lowered her head embarrassedly, and touched her neck: "I have never practiced martial arts, I... don't have that talent, I am so stupid very."

Xiao Shuan said: "If you are stupid, there will be no smart people in the world. Everyone has their own strengths, and the son-in-law is so smart. If he is good at martial arts, no one else will be able to live. God is fair, it is the same for you , and the other is weaker."

Hearing his daughter-in-law comforting herself, Lin Xiu was very happy. She looked at Xiao Shu'an foolishly and said, "Well! Shu'an, your knowledge is enough. I'm in charge of literature, and you are in charge of martial arts. We are a perfect match!"

Lin Xiu spoke so violently in front of the Queen Mother, Xiao Shu'an gave Lin Xiu an embarrassed look, and Lin Xiucai realized that it was in front of the Queen Mother.The two young men blushed all of a sudden, feeling very embarrassed.

There was something that Empress Dowager Chen didn't understand, she could tell, the young couple hit it off, very sweet.Otherwise, Shu An couldn't just go find someone for the sake of the son-in-law.Seeing that the son-in-law is also very sincere to her daughter now, she is half relieved.It's good that there is no wrong payment for infatuation.

The queen mother smiled and said: "In all accounts, you have been married for quite a while. There has been no movement?"

"What's going on?" Xiao Shu'an and Lin Xiu were stunned.Empress Dowager Chen looked at the two with a smile without saying a word. After a while, the two of them came to their senses, but their faces turned even redder.

"Mother!" Xiao Shuan said angrily.

Lin Xiu felt guilty and didn't dare to speak.But in the eyes of the queen mother, the son-in-law also wanted a child, but she was too embarrassed to say so.The Queen Mother thought she was considerate and said to Xiao Shu'an: "An'er, you are now a wife. Political affairs are important, but life events are also important. The issue of children should be considered as well."

Lin Xiudao: "Shu An is now a female general, training recruits is very hard, and the daily activities are also heavy, and she has to wield knives and guns at every turn. After two years, someone in the female soldiers can assist Shu An, so Shu An can relax It's not too late to think about these things when we are young. Shu An is still young."

Empress Dowager Chen felt more and more that this son-in-law was really good. It is very rare for a man who wants a child so much but is unwilling to force An'er.Although the son-in-law looks a bit weaker, he is more considerate and wise. The husband and wife, one literary and the other military, are indeed a natural match.

"The son-in-law needs to take care of more. The state of Zhou is busy with state affairs, and the first emperor's heirs are not prosperous. There are only one son and one daughter. The remaining younger brother is still a mess. My natal family can't help much, and all the burdens have fallen. When it came to Jingong, An'er felt sorry for Jingong, and always wanted to help him more. Since the son-in-law came, Zhou Guo has gradually recovered. The late emperor's spirit in heaven will also be gratifying."

"Mother, I am serious. Since I am a courtier of the Zhou State, these are all my duties, not to mention that I am the consort of the Princess Zhou, so I should do my best. Although the ministers of the Zhou State are still resisting the new law, I believe that it will gradually become a new law. They can all understand that everything is for Zhou Guo."

"Everything is for Zhou Guo..." Empress Dowager Chen repeated these words in a murmur, thoughtfully: "It would be great if they had this awareness earlier."

Seeing that Empress Dowager Chen was worried, Xiao Shu'an asked, "Empress Mother, what are you worried about?"

The Empress Dowager shook her head and sighed: "King Liang, I didn't succeed to the throne back then, but I still didn't give up."

Lin Xiudao: "No matter how dissatisfied the King of Liang is, there is nothing he can do. His Majesty is in control of the government. If the King of Liang really can't figure it out, he is really asking for his own death."

Empress Dowager Chen said: "I heard that Prince Liang's son colluded with Wu Zhun. I don't know what they are plotting recently, and I don't think it will be a good thing. Brother, too. How could you accept such a dishonest student!" Thinking of Wu Zhun To be sure, Empress Dowager Chen blamed her elder brother Chen Gu.Chen Gu has completely ignored political affairs now, and basically waits for retirement, but he is a student who does not stop, annoying like a fly!

Lin Xiudao: "Wu Fengchangde is not worthy of the position. Now the selection of talents will start immediately, and he will be replaced soon. Whether he can pass the assessment at the end of the year is the same thing."

"I'm afraid that he will jump over the wall in a hurry. The more cornered he is, the more he will mess up." Empress Dowager Chen was a little worried.

"It's just two ignorant villains, so they can't cause any big disturbances, right? Xiao Ning has never been a talented person since he was a child. Besides, Uncle Wang has endured it for so many years. It doesn't make sense for him to make any big troubles at this juncture. Uncle Wang still puts the overall situation first. Right now is a good opportunity for Zhou Guo to seek development. Even if he seeks to rebel and usurp the throne, he must wait until Zhou Guo becomes truly prosperous and powerful. Where are we now?" Xiao Shuan felt that Xiao Ning and Wu Zhun She can't do any big things, since she was a child, she didn't think Xiao Ning had any brains, and that Wu Zhun was even more lacking in talent and virtue.The two of them had nothing but some dirty tricks that couldn't be put on the table.If it is said that rebellion is impossible, they don't even have soldiers.

Chen Tianhou shook his head, still feeling a little worried: "The more stupid a person is, the more trouble he will cause."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Lin Xiu said: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will remind Your Majesty to send more people to watch those two people tomorrow, so that they won't cause a big mess."

"That's the only way to go." Empress Dowager Chen seemed a little tired.Seeing this, Xiao Shuan and Lin Xiu stood up in time to leave.

The two returned to the residence, Lin Xiu lay motionless on the bed, listless.

Xiao Shu'an sat by the bed, stretched out his finger and pointed at Lin Xiu's face: "What's wrong? Are you tired?"

Lin Xiu closed her eyes and pouted her mouth: "Yes. I suddenly felt out of energy. After running all the way back, I hurriedly met His Majesty and Queen Mother. Now I feel a little sleepy when I see the bed. These days are too busy."

Xiao Shu'an caressed Lin Xiu's face distressedly, knowing that Lin Xiu must be very tired these past few months: "Then go to sleep. There is nothing serious about it, and I will wake you up at dinner time."

"Hmm...Okay." While talking, Lin Xiu fell asleep in a daze.Xiao Shu'an thoughtfully helped Lin Xiu take off her coat and covered her with a quilt.

Lin Xiu said again: "Rufeng can be promoted this time, Ah Zhong didn't get the credit this time. They were snatched by Li Ziye and Qi Jin, and they will probably be stunned to death."

Xiao Shu'an: "Do you feel sorry for Ah Zhong?"

"Don't feel bad, the child will always go out to practice when he grows up. From now on, he will know what he should fight for, and what should be robbed. He is always sullen and calm, and he may do it in ten years. Not a general. He will regret it if he is not worthy of Rufeng."

Xiao Shuan was thoughtful, thinking of the windy daily life in the women's barracks, and then thinking of himself and Lin Xiu, "Ah Zhong likes Rufeng?"

"That's right, can't you see it?" Lin Xiu opened her eyes.

Xiao Shuan said: "What if... Rufeng doesn't like him?"

"What do you mean?"

Xiao Shuan tilted his head and said: "I can't say, I just think that everything is possible. It is also a possibility that Rufeng doesn't like Ah Zhong."

Lin Xiudao: "That's what you said, after all, fate is the key to falling in love with each other. Besides Rufeng...it's really difficult to accept a man again. How is Zhao Duan now?"

When Zhao Duan was mentioned, Xiao Shu'an's eyes became sharper: "I can't die, but I can't live happily."

Lin Xiu looked at Xiao Shu'an and said nothing.After a while, Xiao Shuan said: "Why, do you think I'm too cruel?"

"No." Lin Xiu shook her head, and pulled Xiao Shu'an's hand to rub against her face, "I just feel sorry for you, and I have to deal with such a dirty person. When he is worthless, let Rufeng finish him quickly. This One day of life is like the wind, and one day is not happy."

"Okay, you go to sleep. Don't hold on."

"Accompany me."

"Ok?"

Lin Xiu pulled Xiao Shu'an into her arms, adjusted a comfortable position, and said, "Sleep together, sleep soundly."

Xiao Shu'an smiled softly: "Okay."
