The moon rises on the willows, and the fish and dragons rise together.

In the Imperial City of Shendu, there is a huge house at the intersection of Rongxingfang Street, which is magnificent and magnificent. There is a large gilded plaque on the main entrance, with six large characters "Imperially built Fuyang Bo Mansion" written on it, which is full of majesty.

In the study of Bo Mansion, a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties with a solemn expression and a calm temperament were sitting upright behind the desk. This person was the current queen mother's biological brother, Bo Xiaopinghe, Fuyang.

In front of the desk, a young man stood respectfully, with a handsome face as beautiful as a jade-like face. He was Xiao Zong, the son of Xiao Pinghe, and was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the Salt and Iron Transportation Commissioner.

Xiao Pinghe stared at Xiao Pun for a while, and finally spoke:

"Have the matter in Yizhou finished?"

"When I say to my father, the Yizhou Salt and Iron Department has been reorganized, and the child is especially rushing back to his god and submitting the order." Xiao Zong replied respectfully.

Looking at Xiao Pun, who was much more mature than before, Xiao Pinghe smiled with relief and said:

"Since you are back, let's do your job for your Majesty. Don't act recklessly again in the future. Your aunt is the current queen mother, everyone is staring at our family. Don't cause trouble for her, do you understand?"

"Children follows his father's teachings!" Xiao Zong hurriedly bowed.

"Okay, go to the back, your grandmother and the others should be anxious." Xiao Pinghe smiled when he saw Xiao Zhun's extremely obedient look.

Xiao Zong was slightly stunned. His father, who was extremely strict with him, did not teach him. He immediately felt like he was amnesty and nodded quickly and retreated.

As soon as Xiao Pun left, Xiao Pinghe's face immediately became gloomy and he murmured:

"Princess, it's really a bad time for you to come back."

The turbulent and undercurrents in the capital of Gods were surging. How could he not feel it in it? Especially after His Majesty was assassinated, it was even more turbulent. I don’t know how many people were thinking about it. Although the Emperor Thunder Ting was furious a few days ago, he was a little scared and could not sleep at night.

But in his opinion, the emperor's approach was too domineering. Isn't it obvious that he would push these people to the opposite side on such a large-scale cleanup of nobles? Is the emperor really so sure to suppress everything? Confront the nobles in the world?

Although the Great Zhou Empire belongs to the current emperor, it is even more to the nobles. You should know that these nobles control half of the wealth of the Great Zhou. Nearly 70% of the officials in the world come from noble families. How could the emperor alone compete with such a huge power?

Xiao Pinghe has too many confusions now. He didn't know what the emperor wanted to do. He was so desperate and didn't know whether he should stand there. Just when he was extremely confused, his only son was back. He couldn't help but think a lot. Did the emperor know his hesitation and recall Xiao Pun, or some people who were ill-hearted wanted to use his son to pull him into the water...

………

Xiao Zong walked out of the study and walked out of the backyard. He walked through a garden and soon came to a large yard. After passing through the corridor, a pretty maid greeted him:

"Young master, you are here. The old lady is anxious." As she said that, she lifted up the jade curtain in front of the door and let Xiao Pang in.

But before Xiao Zhun could look at the situation in the hall, he saw a beautiful woman coming over, hugging him in her arms, and cried:

"My son, you're back..."

This person is Xiao Zong's mother, Leng, the wife of Xiao Pinghe.

"Mom~!" Xiao Zong was also infected by emotions for a moment and called out emotionally.

"Okay, isn't the palm back now? What kind of style is it to cry?"

Suddenly, a voice of scolding came from the hall. Leng quickly wiped his tears, bowed into the room and said, "What my mother said, what she said..."

"Princess, why don't you go and give the old lady a gift."

Only then did Xiao Zong see an old lady in the main hall, looking at him with a kind face. Xiao Zong hurriedly walked forward a few steps and knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Grandma, grandson is back."

"Hey, baby grandson, you're back." The old lady lost her majesty as before at this time and said excitedly: "Come here quickly and let grandma see if she's lost weight."

Xiao Zong walked beside the old lady and sat down, smiling at a beautiful woman with a graceful figure and a peach-like face standing beside the old lady:

"Sister, you didn't go to the academy..."

The woman was Xiao Zhun's sister Xiao Yuer, and she only heard Xiao Yuer smile and said:

"Brother, you come back today, how could my sister stay in the academy?"

"You said you, a girl goes to a college in every family. A woman has no talent and is virtue. Be careful of you, you won't get married in the future." The old lady said harshly, but her eyes were full of love.

"Grandma~!"

"What are you saying? Yu'er won't marry anyone, just follow grandma!" Xiao Yu'er held the old lady's hand and said relentlessly.

"Silly girl, grandma has a few years to live. Besides, there is no woman in the world who won't get married?" The old lady patted Xiao Yu'er's hand and said kindly, saying here, and suddenly turned her head and scolded Xiao Pun:

"And you, a brat, are you so old, and your wife doesn't have a letter. You know how to spend time and love, love and love all day long. It's better if you make a great grandson for your old body!"

"And you, a mother-in-law, don't know how to do it. You have to urge me to do anything?" Before he finished speaking, he slammed Leng's second.

"Yes...yes... what the old lady said!" Leng nodded repeatedly, her face full of joy. Naturally, she also wanted to find a daughter-in-law early to pass on the family line for the old Xiao family. However, the old lady had not spoken before, and she didn't dare to arrange herself.

"Grandma..." Xiao Zong was stunned by the old lady for a moment, and opened his mouth and shouted, "I don't know what to say, how old is he?

Xiao Yu'er looked at him with a smile, her eyes flashed, and she said:

"Grandma, Yu'er heard that the king of Prince Xin will hold a poetry meeting in Chengxian Pavilion. At that time, the talented and beautiful women in the entire Shencheng will go to the banquet. You might as well let your brother try his luck, if there is someone he likes..."

"Yes... Yu'er is right!" The old lady said hurriedly: "If there is someone she likes, let me tell my grandma, grandma comes to you in person!"

The last thing she said was full of energy. Who made her the biological mother of the current empress dowager? Even the current emperor would give her some face, let alone others, who dared not to rely on her?

"Yes, grandma!"

Xiao Zong agreed with an excited look that this kind of banquet was his favorite. When he thought of the feeling of the stars holding the moon, he felt a little itchy.

"Just stay at home and stay honestly, and you are not allowed to go anywhere!"

At this time, an unquestionable voice came from outside the house, and Xiao Pinghe strode into the house.

Leng and Xiao Yuer were slightly blessed, and Xiao Pun quickly stood up, lowered his eyebrows and looked submissive, which showed that Xiao Pinghe was also majestic at home.

"Bang!"

At this moment, a crutch flew straight towards Xiao Pinghe. Xiao Pinghe, who could not dodge for a while, was hit hard on the head.

"Ouch..."

"Mom, what are you doing?" Xiao Pinghe said in a frustration, covering his head.

"Baby, who are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf? I'm just looking for a blow!" The old lady slapped the table and shouted angrily.

"Uh..." Xiao Pinghe smiled embarrassedly, and hurriedly bowed to apologize and said, "Mom, the child was also anxious just now, and he never wanted to show off his power."

"Hmph, I'm sorry you don't dare!" The old lady's face then eased a little. He was not a nonsense and unreasonable person. He looked at Xiao Pinghe and said in a narrow voice: "You talk about it, why can't you let the palm go?"

"Mom, you also know the current situation in Shendu." Xiao Pinghe glanced at the people in the hall and said in a deep voice: "The child is too late to hide himself. If he lets the palm go, if he does something that should not be done and says something that should not be said, it will probably cause a huge disaster. Even if his sister is the queen mother, it will be difficult for me to protect my Xiao family."

Xiao Pinghe's words scared the old lady and Leng. Leng said in fear: "Master, don't scare me, isn't it just to attend a poetry meeting? Why is that so?"

"Stop talking to Lao Shi." Old Mrs. Xiao slapped the table and scolded Leng, "Old body looks like you have long hair and short knowledge!"

"Pinghe is right. Old man is just a woman's opinion. It's too late for our family to hide at such a critical moment. How can we get in and talk to others?"

Although Mrs. Xiao is old, she is very sober and understands what should be done and what should not be done.

Xiao Yu'er stood aside. When she heard that Old Lady Xiao and Xiao Pinghe didn't let Xiao Zhun go out, a faint look of annoyance flashed in her eyes, but she said with a smile on her face:

"Dad, it's just an ordinary literary gathering, and Prince Xin is the younger brother of the current emperor. Who dares to act wildly on the prince's land sign? Daughter thinks you are too sensitive."

Xiao Pinghe glanced at Xiao Yu'er and said seriously: "Just because it was held by Prince Xin, you can't go there. When is it now? If someone takes the handle and says we have close contacts with the princes and have bad intentions, how will Your Majesty look at our family?"

"How can I think? With my aunt here, how can he do our family?" Xiao Yuer couldn't help but retort.

"Shut up~!"

"presumptuous--"

Xiao Pinghe and Old Lady Xiao said in unison.

"Yu'er, you are too presumptuous. Can you question Your Majesty?" Old Mrs. Xiao scolded with a ugly expression: "I think your mother has spoiled you, and she can't even tell the difference between the least right and wrong."

Leng's grievances were heard on the side. It was you who spoiled her to heaven, but in the end they blamed me, but they didn't dare to refute her.

"Yu'er, know what disaster is when you are. Don't rely on the Empress Dowager to spoil you, just do whatever you want." Xiao Pinghe also frowned and scolded: "What have you done during this period? Don't think that my father doesn't know."

Xiao Pinghe's words made Xiao Yuer's body stiffen and her face changed color uncontrollably, but Xiao Pinghe continued to say, "Why are you running to Chengxian Pavilion so hard during this period? It's the territory of Prince Xin, and you are not allowed to go again in the future!"

Xiao Yu'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Xiao Pinghe was talking about this, but Xiao Yu'er was used to being domineering at home. The more Xiao Pinghe said that her rebellious mentality became more and more severe, and she couldn't help but stomped her feet and said:

"What's wrong where I go? Whoever wants to say it will go."

"You--" Xiao Pinghe was so angry that his hands were trembling, and he raised his hands... and put them down again. He really couldn't bear to beat Xiao Yu'er.

"Look at what you are abusing, it's so unreasonable!" Xiao Pinghe couldn't bear to beat Xiao Yu'er, and he didn't set off with an evil fire, so he roared at Leng's sleeves and left.

Leng's family felt aggrieved again for a moment......
