417. in the first place
Xie Shuangyun's eyes lit up, "Mother, you said that if Old Madam Xia doesn't agree, will the marriage with Chu Shaoyuan be just..."
Zhou Shi looked at her with a cold face, "The more you talk, the more boundless it becomes, when things come to this point, what does it matter if the Xia family is willing or not?" As long as the third prince is willing, the queen mother and the emperor will not refute his face. ”
The light in Xie Shuangyun's eyes sank, and she leaned on the carriage with a withered expression, "I used to say that the most boring thing in her home was Brother Yi'er the night before, how could she treat him well?" But he doesn't get bored, he doesn't want to ......"
"Shut up!" Zhou listened to her chatter, like a young woman, and suddenly became angry, "Look at the way you look now, where do you look like a famous lady, there is no shame at all, who the third prince marries has nothing to do with you?" ”
Xie Shuangyun saw Zhou's angry expression, and immediately choked, and didn't dare to say a word.
……
Xie was left by Concubine Zhuang for a while, and Concubine Zhuang sent Chanyi to eat snacks in the small pavilion on the verandah.
Seeing that everyone was scattered, Xie Shi asked eagerly: "Niangniang, what is going on with this matter... My mind still can't turn around, didn't I say that I chose a concubine for the third prince, why did I suddenly ...... it to us?"
Concubine Zhuang patted her hand and soothed: "This is a good thing, think about it, but whenever a man has a woman in his heart, he will take care of her, which is much more appropriate than you trying to find the right family affair for Wanwan, after all, this family affair is what he asked for by himself, and it is a friendship that grew up together since childhood, and it can't be wrong." ”
That being said, but ...... Xie hesitated and said: "Niangniang doesn't know, I was at home before, and I offended the three princes a lot, I'm just afraid that the two of them will be unhappy with each other, this is a relationship, if the two really don't get along well, won't it become a feud?" ”
Concubine Zhuang smiled when she heard this, "You, you really put a mother's heart on the body of your children, why didn't you see it, if you are not happy at night, today she sees Yishu take the flowers, her face should be bad, how can you still sit on the verandah and eat snacks in peace?" ”
Xie Shi thought about it for a while, Wanwan's face didn't seem to be very ugly, if it was ordinary at home, I was afraid that even if she didn't say it, her face would never be able to hide it.
"No, I have to ask her..."Xie Shi thought about getting up, but was grabbed by Concubine Zhuang.
"Don't worry," Concubine Zhuang smiled and pointed to the glass windows scattered in the small pavilion, "Why do you think I left you here today?" ”
Xie Shi followed her finger and looked at the pavilion, and saw Chu Shaoyuan walking towards the pavilion.
……
Chanyi said that she was eating dim sam, but in fact, she just ate a piece and didn't eat it again, although the dim sum in the palace was exquisite, but she didn't want to leave a reputation for loving food.
Thinking of Chu Shaoyuan's appearance today, the panic in her heart had not completely faded, and now she felt that he was simply hateful, and she didn't discuss it with her in advance, but she didn't just see his jokes, she also saw her own jokes.
He was angry, and when he looked up again, he saw the man swaggering into the pavilion.
She stood up in surprise, "You... You...... What are you doing here? ”
This is not the Xia family, let alone Yanmen Pass, this is the palace, a place where you will never recover if you take a step, how can he be so good, come over!
Chu Shaoyuan saw that she was like a frightened rabbit, so he jumped up almost immediately, and couldn't help but laugh in a low voice.
His delicate five fingers loosely clenched his fist against the tip of his nose, as if to hide his smile, but he didn't stop laughing for a long time, which made Chan Yi even more annoyed.
She lowered her voice and shouted to him: "Chu Shaoyuan, have you laughed enough?" ”
Only then did he restrain his smile slightly, the corners of his mouth rose gracefully, and his eyes were very gentle when he looked at her, "It's windy, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold, so I specially took a cloak for you." As he spoke, he untied his cloak and asked for her.
"Gave me what do you use? Your body is not yet well, if you suffer the wind and cold again, will you suffer two sins? Chan Yi refused his kindness and said softly, "My mother and I have cloaks on the carriage, and we can't freeze, and the weather has been getting warmer and warmer these days, although it is windy, it is not cold." ”
Chu Shaoyuan's eyes stared at her, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be contained.
Chanyi was a little uncomfortable by him, turned her head slightly, the corners of her mouth twitched, thinking of his actions just now, she couldn't help but say: "Your taste is also bad enough, so many good-looking flowers, I chose a young man who does not bloom." ”
I heard Chu Shaoyuan beside him sigh, and his voice was a little helpless: "What can I do, who made that pot of evergreen grow handsome and was brought by its owner to participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet......"
Chanyi saw the helpless look on Chu Shaoyuan's face out of the corner of her eyes, and then thought of the way he walked with flowers before, and she couldn't help laughing for a while.
……
Xie Shi saw that his daughter was still a little unhappy, and he was worried in his heart, afraid that they would have a discord of words, and there would be any unpleasantness, but in a blink of an eye, I don't know what they said, and her daughter suddenly smiled, and her magnificent face was like a blooming flower, so bright and moving.
In the world, only true love cannot be hidden.
She finally let go of the anxiety in her heart, and turned her head to look at Concubine Zhuang: "Niangniang didn't say to bring a letter, we are better than being prepared, at least we won't take such a pot of flowers like today." ”
Concubine Zhuang shook her head with a smile, "I just want you not to know, so it is natural, if you know, you have to prepare in advance, but in this way, the Queen Mother will never be able to pass that level!" She said, her voice suddenly lowered, "Although the emperor has quietly leaked the wind before, but how to make the queen mother satisfied, this is the most difficult part, if it wasn't for the evening to bring such a pot of flowers that don't match the front and back today, the queen mother would not be so light-hearted...... After all, it is Sister Jin who is the queen mother's favor. ”
Concubine Zhuang's last sentence was as light as the wind driven by a butterfly's flapping wings, almost imperceptible.
Xie immediately had an epiphany, although the Queen Mother was her aunt, but she was also the Zhu family, Yi Ge'er had made such a great contribution, and was loved by the emperor, and it was likely that she would have the opportunity to win that position in the future, and how could the Queen Mother give up such a good opportunity in order to compensate for the support of the Zhu family back then?
However, even so, the Queen Mother should not compromise so easily.
Xie Shi looked at Concubine Zhuang: "I... I do not quite understand...... If that's the case, then why still...? ”
A bitter smile faintly appeared on the corner of Concubine Zhuang's mouth, "A hot feeling will always fade away, especially in the heavenly family." ”
When the time comes, as long as the interests and prospects are put in front of the man, he will naturally know how to choose.
The Queen Mother and she are both from the past, and they know that men are ruthless, and they don't recognize their relatives at all, especially the emperor, who is more ruthless than ordinary people.
It's just that she hid what Chu Shaoyuan told her from the Queen Mother, and the two of them are not hot, so she decided to help him.
Otherwise, in such a cannibalistic place, she didn't want her niece to fall into the same headlong as she did.
