Chapter 116 Retreat
Sure enough, as Jing Xing said, after returning that day, he locked himself in the study of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and went to retreat.

The same is true for Xue Chen.

According to Xue Lu's original plan, she was going to take the children back to Zuo Xiang's mansion as soon as the celebration banquet in Hou's mansion was over.

After all, she is still Mrs. Zuo Xiang, and Xue Yue is still on the same boat. It is not easy for her to take the children back to her natal home for the Spring Festival. The time is long enough. If she stays, the palace will probably be dissatisfied up.

Zuo Xiang is the official head of the civil servants of the imperial court, if Xue Lu's family makes a fuss too much, it will not only hit the face of Zuo Xiangfu, but also the face of the court.

But after Xue Chen retreated like this, Xue Lu couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

Spring is just around the corner, and now Xue Chen will definitely put all his thoughts on studying.

When people are extremely concerned about one thing, it is inevitable that they will neglect other things.

Such as eating and resting.

As a mother, it is natural to be with the child at this time and take care of his diet and daily life carefully.

Otherwise, if Xue Chen broke his body, even if he was named on the gold list, Xue Lu's heart would die of heartache.

So Mrs. Xue Lu and Mrs. Zhenbeihou went to the palace in person to meet the queen, and planned to tell her about this, so that the palace could be settled first, so that Xue Chen could study in peace.

After hearing Xue Lu's explanation of her intentions, the queen could only sigh.

Two days ago, the emperor just mentioned this matter to the empress, and asked her to ask someone to mention Xue Lushi, but unexpectedly, before her people left, Xue Lushi came here first.

"Your Majesty just told me about this a few days ago, I didn't expect you to come today," the queen sighed, a little embarrassed, "...Forget it, I will send someone to tell Your Majesty later, Just help you talk."

The emperor loves talent like his life, and Xue Chen's talent is seen by the whole capital.

At only 17 years old, how many people have passed the five trials and killed six generals, and passed the entrance exam to Chunwei?

Anyway, after so many years, there are only two such people.

One is Jing Xing and the other is Xue Chen.

Immediately, Chunwei is just around the corner, and it is the time to decide whether these two people can shine. Both the government and the public are paying close attention to these two people, and there are even gambling games in the market, betting on whether these two people can successfully pass the entrance examination for Chunwei. It is said that it is still very lively .

Not to mention the emperor, he is gearing up now, waiting to see if the two children can enter the court, such a small matter, it is estimated that he will not refuse.

Seeing that the queen was so easy to talk to, Xue Lushi and Mrs. Zhenbei Hou looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, how are you doing with Shu'er?" In the current Xue family, the first major event is Xue Chen's Chunwei, and the second is of course Xue Shu's lifelong event.

Now who doesn't know what the relationship between the Zhenbeihou Mansion and Xue Shu is like. It can be said that as long as you marry Xue Shu, you will have the help of the Zhenbeihou Mansion.

The Zhenbeihou Mansion has military power in its hands, and not long ago, there was a female general. Who in the whole capital can't weigh this weight?

There is also Zuo Xiangfu, who is the head of civil servants, and his appeal among literati is naturally echoed by everyone.

The two giants of literature and military are standing behind Xue Shu. It is conceivable that if the courtier's family marries Xue Shu, it will be a step up to the sky.

And if the prince married Xue Shu, then the position of the prince would basically be stable.

Hearing this, Xue Lu's face raised a faint smile: "The Hou Mansion has already selected all the candidates, and I have seen them too. They are all children with good conduct, and Shu'er will definitely like them!"

The queen smiled slightly: "That would be the best."

The hall was silent for a while, the three of them just lowered their heads to drink tea, and no one spoke again.

Mrs. Zhenbeihou and Xue Lushi looked at each other: "Madam, it's getting late, how about..."

The queen put down the teacup and said with a smile: "If that's the case, then you all go back and take good care of Chen'er. I'm waiting for the day when Chen'er will be named on the Gold List."

"Auspicious words from Madam Cheng." The two saluted together and left behind the maidservant.

The carriage of the Hou Mansion was waiting outside the gate of the palace, and when the two masters got into the carriage, the coachman whipped his whip and drove the horses around.

"Shu'er's marriage needs to be finalized quickly." Mrs. Zhenbeihou said, her tone a bit gloomy.

The queen paid too much attention to Xue Shu.

No matter how good the Queen and Xue Lu's relationship is, it's not normal to meet and ask each other once.

Xue Lu also nodded, she lifted the curtain to look at the sky outside, and sighed: "In a short while, those grown-up princes should return to Beijing."

Madam Zhenbeihou nodded slightly: "Yes."

The second prince born by the queen is coming back soon.

*
All the way in silence, the two got out of the car in front of the Hou's mansion. Madam Zhenbei grabbed Xue Lu and said in a low voice: "In the past few days, it is the business to take care of Chen'er first. I will take care of Shu'er with you." Brother just worry about it, and you take care of yourself too, so don't get tired."

Xue Lu nodded and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I know it all."

In this way, the two aunts and sisters-in-law entered the mansion together, one went to prepare medicinal meals for Xue Chen to recuperate his body, and the other returned to the main courtyard.

At this moment in Gui Zhongju, the master and the servant are quietly packing their luggage, and Wu Riyetti sits aside, watching over them.

"Qingyu, it's enough to bring a few clothes, and you can't bring all the cumbersome ones." Wuri Yeti reminded helplessly.

The little girl saw that she had never traveled far, and she wanted to take this and that, so she just glanced out the window, and Qingyu had already packed two big bags and came out.

How can this work?

Qingyu let out an "ah", then lowered her head in some confusion, and picked out the most practical one from a pile of "burdens".

Xue Shu wandered around the room, and finally put her little treasury in her arms.

Wu Riyeti looked at this, and then at that, and deeply felt that the two masters and servants were a pair of extremes.

One, wants to bring everything, can't wait to pack the whole house into luggage, and the other, only knows to bring money.

Worrying about her.

So Wuri Yeti had no choice but to personally point out: "Clothes are simple to carry around. You can't bring all these silks and satins. If they are exposed to the wind and sun on the road, it would be a pity if they are damaged. At worst, you can buy them elsewhere.

There are also jewelry, two hairpins are enough, and all the rest are taken out.

Also, go to the street to buy some of Shu'er's favorite snacks, they must be the ones you can put away, you can't bear to eat dry food all the time on the road, so you can change your taste.

Hmm... that's what it looks like! "

Wu Riye said a few words, and compressed the two large bags of luggage that Qingyu had prepared into a small one.

Qingyu looked at the small package in her hand a little helplessly, and suddenly lost her sense of security.

Xue Shu didn't think there was anything wrong, anyway, as long as there were money in a place where there were people, it would not be a desperate situation anywhere.
