Chapter 184: Breaking the Siege
"His Royal Highness the eldest grandson has arrived, and the county lord of Qiyang has arrived. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Just as the hall fell silent, the silence was broken by a sudden proclamation outside.
The next moment, everyone couldn't help but look behind the screen, the Empress Dowager Guo's hand holding the girl did not loosen, but it was imperceptibly tightened, her eyes looked indifferently at the two people who entered the room, the smile on the corner of her lips seemed to be kind and kind, but Gu Yanling, who was standing beside the Empress Dowager Guo, could see that the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes at all.
The calm and graceful boy and the smart and pretty girl entered side by side, turned the screen, and stepped forward to salute together. However, before saluting, Gu Yanling clearly received the young man's concerned gaze.
Looking at the polite and well-behaved pair in front of her, Empress Dowager Guo glanced at Empress Yuan with a gentle smile, and then turned to Xiao Yi and Qiyang and said: "Look, this body is covered with snow beads, it can be seen that this way is in a hurry, and the mourning family's Cining Palace will not walk with long legs, and it doesn't hurt to take your time, if you step on the snow on the road, it will make the mourning family, a great-grandmother, feel distressed." ”
Empress Dowager Guo's words were full of concern for the elderly, but she glanced indifferently at the girl standing in front of her.
It seems that there are many people who care about this little girl around her.
"Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, Qiyang and Brother Changsun naturally want to rush to send blessings to the Empress Dowager, originally Qiyang and Brother Changsun left early, who knew that the branch accidentally broke the skirt on the way, and the brother accompanied Qiyang back to change his body. ”
Speaking of this, Qiyang stepped forward coquettishly and grabbed Empress Dowager Guo's arm and said: "Otherwise, Qiyang and his brother will be the first to go to Cining Palace, and the Empress Dowager will not blame Qiyang for being careless, and my brother has already said that Qiyang has gone all the way." ”
"Qiyang, it's not like it again. ”
Hearing the scolding of Empress Yuan, Qiyang looked at Empress Dowager Guo like a plea for help, pretending not to dare to scold Empress Yuan.
The smile on the corner of Empress Dowager Guo's lips has not diminished, but she knows in her heart that this girl Qiyang seems to be simple-minded, but in fact, how can she be simple when she was taught by Queen Yuan?
Knowing the relationship between her Cining Palace and her Kunning Palace and the East Palace, the only one who dared to be coquettish in front of her was this little girl who relied on the emperor's favor and the East Palace.
"That's it, today is a good time, so the queen should not be harsh on their juniors. ”
Empress Dowager Guo said and looked at Qiyang beside her dotingly, and the girl immediately said playfully: "Empress Dowager Qiyang Xie." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiyang turned to look at Gu Yanling, who was standing there with her hand held by the Empress Dowager Guo, and said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager and Miss Gu are so close, it seems that the Empress Dowager also likes Qiyang, the future sister-in-law." ”
Speaking of this, Qiyang deliberately turned to look at Xiao Yi on the side, and the playful smile in his eyes couldn't be more obvious.
Hearing this abruptly changed title, Gu Yanling was slightly stunned, and then looked over, but he was facing the young man's gentle and smiling eyes. Thinking of the change of identity between the two now, his face was slightly hot, and he pursed his lips without speaking.
"The mourning family also told your mother that it is time to enjoy such a granddaughter-in-law in the future, so the mourning family can't wait to enjoy this light blessing in advance, so ask this good girl to choose a few good-looking plums for the mourning family to come back, and also ask the mourning family, an old bone that does not go out easily, to see the beautiful scenery outside. ”
Empress Dowager Guo's eyes skipped Xiao Yi as she spoke, and fell to Gu Yanling, who was standing beside her, holding the girl's hand and pinching it vigilantly, waiting for the girl's reply.
In the face of such a seemingly gentle but aggressive Empress Dowager Guo, Gu Yanling did not feel the slightest nervousness and worry in his heart.
Because when Xiao Yi braved the wind and snow to come, she already knew it in her heart.
This time, it seems that she doesn't need to bother to solve it herself.
Sure enough, when Gu Yanling was determined in his heart, the corners of Qiyang's lips hooked slightly, and then he covered it lightly, according to what Fang Cai Xiao said to her, word for word but full of the concern of the younger generation for the elders: "Queen Mother, your old prescription for asthma a few days ago is good, the imperial doctor said that you should avoid some flowers and plants these days, otherwise you are afraid that asthma will recur and hurt your body. ”
As soon as these words came out, the corners of Empress Dowager Guo's lips paused slightly, and a trace of coldness crossed her eyes, and the little girl in front of her seemed to be thinking about her phoenix body, but she was just thinking of a way to relieve the Gu family girl.
She naturally knows what to avoid with her own body, the flowers picked back by a little girl, even if she, the queen mother, doesn't look at it and throws it away, others don't dare to say anything.
"Qiyang is right, please take care of the phoenix body of the Queen Mother. ”
Xiao Yi, who was originally silent, also stood up at this moment, and said very respectfully: "There is a pot of painted enamel rhombic fancy beeswax red plum bonsai in the grandson's palace, although it is not the real red plum in the plum garden, but it is no different from it. ”
The young man's words were particularly sincere, and his filial piety was almost overflowing, Empress Dowager Guo's eyebrows were almost imperceptible, but Queen Yuan beside her opened her mouth and said enviously: "This bonsai concubine has also heard of it, and it is said that it also uses the craftsmanship of the West, whether it is a close appreciation or a long view, the flower looks exactly the same as the branch, and the color is pretty and tight." Ah Yi, this child, in the end, filial piety to you is more than filial piety to concubines. ”
Hearing Empress Yuan's seemingly envious interjection, Empress Dowager Guo's eyes gradually became indifferent, pinched the girl's hand, and glanced at the past.
She was just a small temptation, and she let the entire East Palace come out together, she wanted to see if even if she escaped today, who would protect this little girl in the future.
Feeling the intriguing silent gaze of the Empress Dowager Guo, Gu Yanling was extremely calm, and she also understood that today was just a prelude to the opening of a good show for her and Empress Dowager Guo.
Empress Dowager Guo's methods don't stop there.
But this also confirms that she should indeed strike first.
At the very least, knock them down before the enemy's most fierce counterattack, and get rid of this worry permanently, so that the grass and trees will not be wiped out in the future.
"Okay. ”
Empress Dowager Guo laughed out loud suddenly, her tone was as kind as ever, but her eagle-like eyes skipped Queen Yuan, Xiao Yi, and finally fell on Gu Yanling and said: "Today's mourning family is cheap, a few plums are replaced with a pot of Western scenery, you are the lucky star of the mourning family." ”
Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Guo let go of Gu Yanling's hand, leaned back lazily, and inadvertently glanced at the personal grandmother painting beside her.
Mama Huiwen comprehended the ground, and soon came up with a small carved sandalwood box in both hands.
Empress Dowager Guo motioned for Mama Huiwen to open it, only to see that inside was a string of Taoist prayer beads made of red coral and crystal.
"This is a gift from the mourners. ”
Empress Dowager Guo took out the rosary, kindly took the girl's hand, pushed it on the wrist of the girl, and said with some seriousness: "You are still young, and the mourning family gave you this, and I also think that you will be the bride of our Xiao family in the future, learn to calm down in everything, let go of impetuousness, and this day will pass more smoothly, do you understand?"
Gu Yanling's eyes calmly fell on the cold rosary on her wrist, whether she deliberately beat her to let her marry into the palace in the future and be a bride who abides by her duty, or deliberately cursed her, the great-granddaughter-in-law who has not passed the door, to live a cold life of the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha in the future.
After all, since the moment she broke off her marriage with Xiao Yan and walked to the East Palace, she and Empress Dowager Guo were destined to be unable to coexist.
She wants to see if it is her or Empress Dowager Guo herself who will live a forgotten life in the future.
