Chapter 72: Borrowing a sister-in-law
Brother: "Beicheng Aoxue pushed open the door and came in, and saw Luo Jia sitting at the desk with a brush in his hand, writing something on a piece of paper.
And Beicheng Aotian was on the side of the table with one hand, and the other on the back of the chair where Luo Jia was sitting, looking at the content of Luo Jia's pen.
"Ugh!
I didn't miss the time."
Beicheng Aoxue stood at the door, not knowing whether to continue to enter, or immediately exit.
finally knew why she wasn't allowed in, she shouldn't have entered in the first place, how could she still enter.
"Xiaoxue, you're not at the Queen Mother's place, what's the matter with coming here?"
Beicheng Aotian looked at Beicheng Aoxue, who had already changed his clothes, and asked.
Sure enough, it disturbed his brother.
"I'm here to ...... you"
Beicheng Aoxue said, looking at Luo Jia, who was still writing on the paper, not knowing what she was doing.
Luo Jia noticed Beicheng Aoxue's gaze and looked up at her.
Put down the pen, stand up and walk over "Is there something wrong?"
"Brother, sister-in-law, I'll borrow it."
Beicheng Aoxue pulled Luo Jia and ran out regardless of whether Beicheng Aotian disagreed, Luo Jia turned around and said, "Come back and count"
Beicheng Aotian watched them leave, their relationship was better than with him, one was his emperor and the other was his sister.
How can the relationship be better than him, especially Luo Jia, she is relatively cold, why is she so close to his sister.
What's more, he hasn't seen Beicheng Aoxue come to Luo Jia much this month, they spend less time together than he and Luo Jia, how can the relationship between the two of them be even better than him!
Luo Jia walked out of Longcheng Palace, and was dragged all the way by Beicheng Aoxue to the Queen Mother's Yongshou Palace.
"What's the matter?
”
Luo Jia suddenly stopped, pulled back Beicheng Aoxue, who was pulling her towards the Longevity Palace, and asked.
She had just left from here, and how could Beicheng Aoxue bring her again.
Could it be that the Queen Mother is looking for her!
It's impossible, if the Queen Mother is looking for her, Beicheng Aoxue shouldn't 'borrow her' from Beicheng Aotian.
That is to say, Beicheng Aoxue has something to find her!
"Sister-in-law, today is the queen mother's birthday, I want to ......"
Beicheng Aoxue's fingers were crossed together, her two thumbs were spinning, she didn't know what to say, after all, Luo Jia rarely did that kind of thing.
"Ask me for help, what to do"
Luo Jia's reply like this is already obvious, she will help.
Beicheng Aoxue was in a good mood, Luo Jia really agreed, and hurriedly said, "Go to the kitchen"
The two of them walked to the exclusive dining room of the Longevity Palace.
Hua Shiyu saw them from afar, and was wondering where they were going if they were not in the main hall?
I wanted to go and see, but the eunuch just now came to me.
"Master Hou, please inside"
When the eunuch came out, he saw him standing not far from the door, and hurriedly went over to invite him.
Hua Shiyu didn't go to them, one was the emperor and the other was the princess, they wouldn't do anything unreasonable, even if they could, it wouldn't be his turn to take care of it, so they entered the main hall with the eunuch.
The Queen Mother was chatting with Xia Jiaoning and Xia Yuning, "The ministers participate in the Queen Mother"
"Shi'er, no need to be polite, come and sit down"
The Queen Mother is very kind, Hua Shiyu grew up with her, and she brought it up, so she can be regarded as half of her son.
Hua Shiyu's father, the former marquis Hua Chen, died in the battlefield to save the first emperor from poisoning, and was posthumously named the Marquis of the Protector.
His mother died of massive blood loss during childbirth.
When he was only five years old, his parents died, and the Queen Mother took him with her.
"The Emperor Arrives"
Not long after Hua Shiyu sat down, the voice of the eunuch sounded outside.
"Ministers (courtiers) participate in the emperor"
Hua Shiyu, the sisters of the Xia family got up to see.
Beicheng Aotian waved them up, and said to the Queen Mother, "Sons and daughters participate in the Queen Mother"
"Tian'er, why are you alone, Jia'er?
”
The Queen Mother looked at the back of Beicheng Aotian and found that there was only a son, no daughter-in-law, and asked suspiciously.
"Jiajia her?
”
Beicheng Aotian was also puzzled, wasn't Luo Jia brought by Beicheng Aoxue?
"Jia'er didn't come with you?
”
The Queen Mother asked again.
"Nope"
"Aunt Queen Mother, will the Empress Dowager's cousin be uncomfortable?"
Xia Jiaoning, who was sitting on the left side of the Queen Mother, said.
The Queen Mother looked at her, and Xia Jiaoning said again, "Ning Er heard that the emperor's cousin-in-law has a brain disease, which is the root of the disease that has been branded since childhood, and the imperial doctors in the fog capital have not cured this disease."
"But these days, the mourning family hasn't seen Jia'er get sick, will this be fake?"
The Queen Mother also knew that Luo Jia had a headache for a long time, but in the past month, she had not heard about the imperial doctor in Fengxiang Palace, and Luo Jia came to ask An every day to look very good, not like a person with a disease.
The disease may be fake.
"Aunt Queen Mother, Ning Er doesn't dare to talk nonsense about this, it's true, this thing is brought by the merchants of our imperial capital to do business in the fog capital, and the people in the entire fog capital are saying that Luo Jia, the second lady of this Luo Mansion, has a brain disease, not only has a brain disease, but her right hand is almost useless, she can't learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs since she was a child, and she even has to be fed by a maid when she eats."
Xia Jianing said that she was not worried about being punished at all, because it was a fact.
Beicheng Aotian sat on the side and listened to her, and did not stop her.
Xia Jianing was right, the Luo Jia he investigated was also like this, and the Luo Jia in the mouth of the fog capital was also like this.
Indeed, Luo Jia used to be like this, riddled with diseases, brain diseases, and hand diseases, which made her inferior, weak, incompetent, and a waste who had to be fed when she ate.
However, the Luo Jia he knew was not, and the Luo Jia he married was not.
She was in good health, quick-witted, intelligent, and extraordinary, and it was said that she had cut off the head of a killer, not only quickly and accurately, but also very ruthlessly, and there was no fear, fear, panic.
Such a person is weak and incompetent, and she can't see it in her at all.
"Sister, you can't talk nonsense, the emperor's cousin is not like you at all"
Xia Yuning said that although she had heard what kind of person Luo Jia was before.
However, she believed more in the Luo Jia she saw, and the Luo Jia she saw today was at least not a waste who couldn't lift her hand.
"Alright, you all don't discuss it"
The Queen Mother interrupted them.
She didn't know what kind of waste Luo Jia was before, she knew this Luo Jia, it was good that the daughter of her life-saving benefactor was not a waste.
"Come on, go to Fengxiang Palace and Snow Scene Hall to invite the emperor and princess to come"
The Queen Mother instructed the two palace maids who came in.
"Queen Mother, Jiajia is not in Fengxiang Palace"
Beicheng Aotian said that Luo Jia was taken away by Beicheng Aoxue, no, it was 'borrowed'.
Therefore, it is impossible for them to be in Fengxiang Palace.
"Not there?
With so much snow outside, where could she go?
”
The Queen Mother was puzzled, where can Luo Jia go on a snowy day?
"Xiaoxue went to Erchen to look for her just now, they should be together now"
Beicheng Aotian wasn't sure where they went, the only thing that was clear was that the two of them must be together.
"Dong Ling, then you go to the Snow Scene Hall to take a look, the emperor and the princess are not there"
The Queen Mother instructed the palace maid beside her.
"Yes"
Dong Ling retreated.
Hua Shiyu just wanted to say that he had just seen them, but he thought that the two of them had feet, so they might have left the Longevity Palace and gone to the Snow Scene Hall of Aoxue in Beicheng.
After a while, Dong Ling walked in and reported, "Queen Mother, the princess doesn't know the Snow Palace"
"Not there?
”
"Queen Mother, the steward of the dining room asks to see you"
As soon as the Queen Mother's words fell, the voice of another palace maid sounded outside.
"Bring in"
Hearing the steward of the dining room, the Queen Mother remembered that today's dinner had not been delivered yet.
"The old slave sees the queen mother and participates in the emperor"
As soon as the housekeeper came in, she knelt down and kowtowed.
The Queen Mother looked at the housekeeper who was only one person, and just wanted to ask, Xia Jiaoning on the side spoke first, "Mama Gui, didn't you ask you to prepare dinner, why are you the only one who comes, dinner?"
”
"Dinner, the old slave hasn't done it yet"
Mama Gui said, wiping the sweat on her forehead, sweating on a snowy day, maybe she was alone!
"What?
Haven't done it yet, what have you all done, haven't done it for so long?
”
Xia Jianing's voice was a little loud, as if she was asking her own minions.
Maybe Xia Jiaoning is used to this, here the queen mother is her aunt, and the emperor is her cousin.
