Two tables of banquets were set up in the side hall, and Xiao Wenyu, Xie Yunjin, and the prince and other young boys sat at one table.

Lu Jiao sat at the table with the queen, the daughters-in-law of the Xie family, and the little girl.

Xiao Wenyu and Xie Yunjin talked about the court affairs again.

Lu Jiao was talking about the children. Queen Wang Mengyao looked at the prince next to Xiao Wenyu, who was obviously taught very well by Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao. Wang Mengyao was very grateful to Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao, and brought a wine glass to Lu Jiao.

"Thank you mother for helping us teach the prince."

After the queen and Lu Jiao had a drink, Hu Lingxue also stood up and offered a toast to Lu Jiao: "Mother, I also toast to you, thank you for helping me and Wen Yao teach the twins."

After Hu Lingxue finished speaking, she looked at her daughter Xiao Ling, "Ling'er, get up and thank your grandmother."

"Yes, mother."

The mother and daughter had a drink with Lu Jiao, but Xie Ling drank fruit juice.

Lu Jiao motioned for their mother and daughter to sit down, and then looked at the little girls on the table, the eldest princess Xiao Chan, the second princess Xiao Luo, Xie Ling, the eldest daughter of the first house, Xie Shang, the second daughter of the first house, and Xie Shang, the third daughter. spirit.

The little girls are all very good-looking, and it makes people feel happy to look at them. Lu Jiao used serving chopsticks to carry food for a few children, but the other little girls politely said thank you. On the next day, the little girl looked at the vegetables in the bowl and protested: "Grandma, I don't like vegetables, so give me chicken legs."

Sanfang Shi Wanying's face turned red when she heard her daughter's words. Now she really regrets that she spoiled her daughter too much, and that's why she raised Xie Ling so uneducated.

Shi Wanying looked at Lu Jiao pitifully: "Mother, it's the daughter-in-law who doesn't know how to raise children."

Lu Jiao glanced at Shi Wanying, then looked at Xie Ling, if this little girl didn't teach her well, she might lose her temper.

"Well, let's take her to Ningzhou later."

After Lu Jiao finished speaking, the queen on one side couldn't help but said: "Mother, you can take the second princess with you to Ningzhou."

Lu Jiao glanced at the second princess and said, "The empress taught Luo Luo very well, there is no need for us to teach her."

Wang Mengyao was happy to hear that, and brought some vegetables to Lu Jiao: "Mother, eat vegetables."

In fact, Wang Mengyao didn't want the second princess to leave her, and the prince to leave her. She felt that when she came back this time, there seemed to be a distance between her son and her. Although he was well-bred, he was not close enough.

So she didn't want to send the second princess to Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao to be educated, but she was afraid that Xiao Wenyu would speak, so she made a point in front of Lu Jiao deliberately.

Lu Jiao saw Wang Mengyao's thoughts at a glance, and she was speechless. She didn't want to teach them children. She didn't care about small things. If they didn't force the children into their side, they would be happy and happy. It would be inconvenient for them to go out after having children. .

Afterwards, everyone chatted and laughed at the dinner party. Xiao Wenyu and Wang Mengyao left Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao to live in the palace, but they were rejected by the couple. They promised their children to take them to Nancheng Yuehe to release a wishing boat on July 7th.

"Let's live again when you have time later. On July 7th, I will take the children to release the wishing boat."

Originally, July 7th was the Qiqiao Festival, a time for lovers to make appointments with each other, but the Yuehe River in the capital was very lively that night, so the children heard about it and wanted to go, so Lu Jiao agreed to them and took them to make a wish ferry.

The prince and the eldest princess quickly said: "Grandma, we will go together when the time comes."

Before Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao had time to speak, the queen on one side said, "There were too many people that night, and accidents were easy to happen. You two should not go out."

The eldest princess couldn't help looking at the prince. She was born to the former queen. Although the queen treated her well, she was not her own mother after all, so she dared not protest.

The prince turned to look at the queen and said: "Queen, it's okay, we will take care of our subordinates, and everything will be fine."

The queen was about to speak, but Xiao Wenyu said, "Remember to bring more people."

Xiao Wenyu spoke, what else could Wang Mengyao say, but she could only shut up, but she was worried in her heart. In fact, she also hoped that Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao would stop the prince, but Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao didn't say anything, the queen could only bear it.

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao took the three daughters-in-law and children of the Xie family out of the palace together.

Sitting in the leading carriage were Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao, who were talking.

Lu Jiao looked at Xie Yunjin and said: "I feel that the queen is somewhat unhappy because we took the crown prince away. During the meal earlier, she deliberately tested me with the second princess. I knew she was afraid that I would take her away. Second princess."

Xie Yunjin sneered directly: "It's really ridiculous. At the beginning, they put the prince and the eldest princess beside us, and now they are complaining. This time when they return to Ningzhou, they leave the prince and the eldest princess in the capital."

Seeing that Xie Yunjin was annoyed, Lu Jiao quickly said, "Don't get angry. If you really do this, Wen Yu will definitely have trouble with the queen. Aren't you causing them to split up? Except for the prince and the eldest princess, their children will be separated from us in the future." It’s fine if you don’t bring it, bring Pianpian with you.”

Speaking of her little granddaughter, Xie Yunjin had a headache: "She is obviously the daughter of the third wife, how can she be as virtuous as her second aunt."

Lu Jiao couldn't help laughing: "You."

In the palace, Xiao Wenyu didn't know what the queen was thinking, and was talking to Wang Mengyao about the concubines in the palace.

"Give concubine Nie a hint and see if she is interested in going out of the palace?"

Wang Mengyao was stunned: "How to leave the palace?"

But he was happy in his heart, if Concubine Nie and the others all left the palace, then she would be the only woman in the palace.

However, if Nie Qingyao and the others go out of the palace, His Majesty may be impeached by the officials: "They are concubines when they enter the palace. To save the court officials from impeaching His Majesty."

Although she wanted those women to leave the palace, His Majesty would be impeached by the court officials, and she didn't want those people to talk about His Majesty.

Xiao Wenyu was silent for a while after hearing Wang Mengyao's words. Wang Mengyao said this for his sake, but thinking of those women staying in the palace, it was really unfair to them.

He doesn't touch people, but let them stay in the palace, which is delaying people.

Now that the court situation is gradually stabilizing, he doesn't need to use the daughters of aristocratic families to restrain the courtiers, they leave the palace as soon as they leave the palace.

"Although what you said is correct, it is cruel to them after all. Turn around and hint quietly. If any of them want to leave the palace, I will tell their family in private and report their illness to them secretly. Just let them go out of the palace and get married."

Wang Mengyao couldn't help raising her eyebrows when she heard Xiao Wenyu's insistence that she had seen her. She thought that Xiao Wenyu had never insisted on letting those women out of the palace before, but she had such thoughts tonight, fearing that his thoughts would be passed on to her by Aunt Lu. of.
