Chapter 42: Are You Satisfied?
"Are you satisfied?" Xue Qingyi asked lazily.
Xiao Wanyao also wiped away her tears, and her tone was restored: "Queen Xie is the master of the people's daughter." ”
Xue Qingyi sneered and said, "It's good if you're satisfied, I thought you were the most tolerant on weekdays, but today it's abnormal, and you actually competed with Concubine Jin, this is not like your temper!" ”
Xiao Wanyao said with a smile: "Back to Niangniang's words, the temper varies from person to person, Wanyao only endures those who can bear it, and naturally there is no need to endure it anymore." ”
"Oh? It seems that Miss Xiao Er, you don't like Concubine Jin very much!? Xue Qingyi asked.
Xiao Wanyao thought about it, in fact, Xue Qingyi didn't want to see Concubine Jin, but because Concubine Jin was favored, she didn't care about her, but there was no conflict, so she led the matter of joining forces to persecute Xiao Wanyao later, so she might as well use Xue Qingyi's hand to suppress Concubine Jin from the beginning, just in case.
"Aren't you the same...... Niangniang" Xiao Wanyao said with a smile, and at the same time picked up the silver needle on the plate on the table, put it on the candle flame and burned it.
"Looks like your hands are fine, you just lied?" Xue Qingyi was not angry, but asked lightly.
"It's all because Niangniang just suppressed the ...... for Wan Yao," Xiao Wanyao said while applying the needle, "Besides, Wan Yao didn't lie, even Concubine Jin's father knew about being injured." ”
Concubine Jin was frightened and sick for a few days, she was a lot haggard, Xiao Wanyao never saw her again, she was just out of sight and out of mind, but Concubine Jin refused to give up lightly, and after she recovered from her illness, she pestered Tang Siqi with a haggard face and said bad things about Xiao Wanyao.
Tang Siqi basically ignored and didn't refute her, but whenever she complained, Tang Siqi comforted and comforted her, and then laughed it off.
It's the New Year in a blink of an eye, and although Tang Siqi doesn't have to do it himself, he is still so busy that he doesn't have time to pay attention to Xiao Wanyao anymore.
This also made Xiao Wanyao happy to be idle, and went to recuperate for Xue Qingyi every day
body, and then you can enjoy most of the day's leisure time, these days there is light snow outside, and the red plum in the Jiaofang Hall has bloomed again, just in front of the window of the other courtyard, you can see it when you open the window, so Xiao Wanyao especially likes to sit by this window and read a book, and when she is tired, she opens the window to watch the snow and see the red plum, enjoying the quiet and leisure that belongs to her.
Tang Siqi was also rarely idle, so he asked Xiao Wanyao to come to the Xuanshu Hall to prepare for the next game of chess.
Xiao Wanyao thought that she had nothing to do, and it was just a game of chess, so she couldn't refuse. So Xiao Zhuangzi prepared a carriage and sent Xiao Wanyao to the Xuanshu Palace.
Since Xue Qingyi's illness recovered, the previous regulation prohibiting carriages from passing near the Jiaofang Hall has also been cancelled, although this is a benefit, but it is not good for Xiao Wanyao, as Xue Qingyi's body gradually recovers, her neglect of Xiao Wanyao's appearance has gradually become obvious, although she is still very safe for a while, but this safety will not last long.
However, Xiao Wanyao is not stupid, she didn't use all her strength to treat her congenital deficiency of heart, but she can always find a way to make Xue Qingyi feel more comfortable, these are all for later.
Xiao Wanyao braved the wind and snow to the Xuanshu Palace, because she took a carriage along the way, so she didn't feel the cold brought by the wind and snow, but the carriage could only stop at the foot of the stairs of the Xuanshu Palace, and she still had to walk on her own so many steps.
Fortunately, Xiao Zhuangzi thought it through, and took an umbrella when he went out to shield Xiao Wanyao from the wind and snow.
Tang Siqi had already set up the chessboard in the Xuanshu Palace, and Xiao Wanyao went in directly after Xiao Li Zitong's voice, and walked in front of Tang Siqi after solving the big problem, Tang Siqi asked her to get up and sit down with a faint smile.
"The widow prepared ginger tea for you, and it was cold all the way, right!?" After Tang Siqi asked, Xiao Wanyao saw the freshly brewed ginger tea placed on the side of the case.
"Thank you, Holy One." After Xiao Wanyao thanked her, she picked up the ginger tea and took a sip while warming her hands.
"What's going on with the Queen? It's been the end of the year recently, and the widow is too busy to have time to see her. Tang Siqi took advantage of Xiao Wanyao's efforts to drink ginger tea and asked.
Xiao Wanyao nodded: "I've recovered, and recently I'm just helping the queen mother to regulate her body and prevent her body from being empty after illness and getting sick again." ”
As for the congenital deficiency of the heart, Xiao Wanyao still feels that it is not appropriate to say it by herself, and it is most appropriate for Xue Qingyi to say it herself.
Tang Siqi nodded thoughtfully: "The royal New Year is different from ordinary people, not only to feast hundreds of officials, but also a bunch of things to do, originally thought that Qingyi was sick, and many occasions that required the queen to attend became very tricky, and the widow was still thinking about how to deal with it, fortunately, you healed her, and the widow still has to thank you." ”
Xiao Wanyao smiled and said tentatively: "Say 'thanks', why don't you let Wanyao go home for the New Year and reunite with her family!?" ”
Tang Siqi replied: "If you want to reunite with your family, it's not a difficult thing, after a few days the widow is done, I will take your family into the palace, and I can live with you throughout the New Year, as long as you are happy." ”
Xiao Wanyao didn't expect Tang Siqi to say this, and it was clear that she would not be allowed to leave the palace, even temporarily, which made Xiao Wanyao very worried about her future.
Xiao Wanyao thought that if she spent this year with the Xiao family's daughters, it would be too painful, so she could only divert the topic, so as not to let herself fall into this embarrassing state, anyway, she was not in a hurry to leave the palace.
"Holy Lord, instead of reuniting with her family for the New Year, Wan Yao has a bigger wish, I wonder if the Holy One will agree?" Xiao Wanyao asked, already thinking about something else.
"It's just a private chat, but it's okay."
Xiao Wanyao got up and said: "Wan Yao's eldest sister Xiao Wanrou is not married yet, and her father Xiao Man is also very anxious, but there is no suitable candidate, Wan Yao hopes that the saint can find a lover for her sister, so that her father's heart can be solved, and her sister will be happy, and the most important thing is that the emperor will give her marriage, which is also a great honor for the Xiao family." ”
Tang Siqi raised his eyebrows, and Xiao Wanyao knew that he was also interested in it, so he was basically eighty percent sure of giving Xiao Wanrou a marriage.
Xiao Wanrou, you framed me into the palace and made me involuntarily, how could I only scare you? You must also taste the feelings of not being able to choose about your marriage and your own destiny!
"Oh? I didn't expect you to be quite concerned about your sister's affairs, as soon as you say this, the widow has no idea in his heart for the time being, so you might as well talk about it and give the widow some opinions. Tang Siqi was really interested, straightened his waist and wanted to discuss this matter with Xiao Wanyao.
"Don't hide it from the saint, Wan Yao really has some candidates in her heart, so let's tell the saint?" Xiao Wanyao saw Tang Siqi nodding, and then slowly spoke: "At the end of autumn, my father had a birthday banquet, and Lord Shangshu Zhou and Lord Feng, who came to celebrate his birthday, Wan Yao was fortunate to meet once, and she heard about the sons of the two families, and Wan Yao felt that she was worthy of her sister. ”
Tang Siqi's eyes flashed with light, and he said, "How can you be 'worthy'?" Wan Yao, you might as well be more detailed!? ”
Xiao Wanyao nodded: "Then let's talk about Feng Da, the son of Lord Feng's family, first!" I heard that he is the pioneer officer who captured a city in Zhao State this time, it can be said that he is a hero out of a young man, a tiger in the door, although the grade is not high now, but there is a future, the hero accompanies the beauty, Wan Yao feels that it complements each other. ”
Tang Siqi leaned on the desk, supported his chin with his hand and asked, "Feng Da is indeed powerful, he is only twenty-two years old this year, and his appearance when he was a pioneer officer really impressed the widow...... The widow was just thinking about rewarding him with something, but he didn't know what to reward, and it was good to serve him at this time. But the widow still wants to hear why you chose the son of the Zhou family? ”
"Then Wan Yao will talk about Zhou Xinning, the son of the Zhou family, to be honest, Wan Yao has never seen Zhou Gongzi, and she has never heard of Zhou Gongzi on any errands...... But Wan Yao has seen the holy concubine Jin, I heard that it is Zhou Xinning's sister, but the sister of a mother's compatriots, although Wan Yao has never seen Zhou Gongzi, but she is fortunate to have seen Concubine Jin, not only amazingly beautiful, but also sharp-toothed, then her brother should not be far behind, and her sister is still suitable. Xiao Wanyao thought that no matter which one Tang Siqi chosen, her revenge on Xiao Wanrou would be considered a success.
Feng Da is an upright person, but his life is short, no matter what, Feng Da will die in the war six years later, which Xiao Wanyao cannot recover, so Xiao Wanrou marries him, she can live a happy life for less than three years, and then she will have to be widowed for a lifetime, which is a pain; Zhou Xinning is a complete gentleman, unlike Xue Tianao, who likes to play and has a capricious personality, that is because Xue Tianao is completely a spoiled child, Zhou Xinning is addicted to wine all day long, and he knows countless women in the dust, and there are many people who have an affair, Xiao Wanrou will indeed have a husband for a lifetime if she marries him, but she will suffer another kind of pain.
Tang Siqi pondered for a long time, but never spoke, Xiao Wanyao's insistence on the ginger tea was already warm, so he drank it while waiting for Tang Siqi's reply.
"This matter will be slowed down for a while, and then I will talk about it later, the year is over, this is not a urgent matter, today the widow called you, not for these nerve-wracking things, but to take advantage of this gap to play chess with you, rest and rest." Tang Siqi suddenly got up and patted his thigh, even if he put Xiao Wanrou's marriage aside for the time being. I1483
