Chapter 12: Entering the Palace (II)
"How's Qi'er? How is he! When Concubine Yuan saw Qing Li coming out, she hurriedly went up and grabbed her arm, looked at her with a pair of red and swollen eyes, and refused to let go.
Qing Li was taken aback by her appearance, blinked her eyes twice, and said lightly: "It's okay for the time being." "I don't know if I'll get infected or anything in the future, but if that's the case, then it's a big problem!
Concubine Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, pushed Qing Li away and ran inside, shouting: "Qi'er, my Qi'er ......"
Qing Li was unsteady by her, and she was about to fall, but fortunately, Ling Yichen was able to survive by holding her up.
With a faint grateful smile, Qing Li stood up with his arm, but his heart was helpless. This mother, why is there no politeness at all......
The Queen Mother was relieved to hear that Ling Qianqi was fine, and when she saw the small movements between the two, she had already smiled, "This is Qing Li!" Cloudy but still sharp eyes began to look up and down.
The old man's voice diverted Qing Li's attention, and she realized that there were two majestic people in front of her. That middle-aged man was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and his handsome face was still somewhat similar to Ling Yichen, so naturally needless to say, it must be the current Saint Ling Chu. And the old woman with white hair and a kind smile should be the queen mother......
After making a hasty judgment, Qing Li immediately knelt on the ground and saluted, "Qing Li to meet the emperor and the queen mother." With a slight drooping head hiding a look of helplessness in her eyes, she knelt indifferently, waiting for them to speak.
This is the rule of the court, if she is not ordered, she must always kneel there, although she does not want to, but she has to obey.
The Queen Mother's gaze never left, and she nodded slightly in her heart. Gentle, tranquil, soothing and gentle, it is really enough to make people fascinated. It's no wonder that Chen'er will be different from her......
"Come, get up!" The Queen Mother personally helped her up, and her heart became more and more satisfied. The emperor was really prescient and gave Chen'er such a wonderful person!
Gazing appreciatively at Ling Chu, Ling Chu bowed slightly. This family affair was originally arranged for the prince, but it was begged by Qingluo to give it to Chen'er, and now Chen'er doesn't look like he is opposed, so it can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone, and it is a matter of his heart.
"Miss Qing, thanks to you today!" Ling Chu saw the palm print on Qing Li's left face, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, and it was difficult for her to have such a good temper and not get angry.
"What reward do you want? I will satisfy you. Ling Chu spoke majestically.
Is this a reward or compensation for her? Qing Li sneered in his heart.
These high men, who have always regarded themselves as superior to others, are now not so much a reward as a gumper to satisfy their vanity. She saves people only for benevolence, and now she is also utilitarian, I really don't know if it's sad or ridiculous!
She has always disdained gold and silver treasures, nor does she like fame, fortune and power, if she really wants anything, it is probably freedom.
In fact, it is completely possible to propose to dissolve the marriage contract now, with the reason that the Holy Lord has no jokes, there must be no suspense in the result, but this is equivalent to slapping the emperor in the face, and the consequences of offending Tianwei are not comfortable, and she is not so stupid as this......
"Qing Li has nothing else to ask for, everything is within his bounds." That's probably what the emperor wants to hear the most, and since that's the case, she doesn't mind saying it.
Ling Chu was really satisfied when he heard this, and there was more appreciation in his eyes.
She does know how to adapt and how to cater to other people's appetites, although it seems to be soothing and harmless, but in her bones is a seven-trick exquisite heart. Such a woman, coupled with the financial power behind her, is enough to be able to bring about the world, but she can also bring disaster to the country and the people......
Ling Chu's eyebrows tightened, and his sharp eyes seemed to dissect Qing Li's deepest things. Qing Li was not afraid, she knew what the emperor was worried about, but fortunately raised her eyes and looked directly at him.
Ling Chu was slightly stunned, but when he saw that there was only a piece of indifference and softness under his light eyes, he was also relieved. Thankfully, she didn't have that kind of mind......
"Haha, the young girl is really virtuous." Ling Chu smiled with satisfaction and nodded appreciatively. Glancing at Ling Yichen's not good face on the side, and seeing that the posture of his body was completely locking Qing Li within his own protection, he couldn't help but laugh.
Chen'er, this kid has been too cold since he was a child, and now he cares about someone so much? It's fun!
Ling Chu discovered Ling Yichen's small movements, and the Queen Mother, who had come over, naturally saw it clearly. Originally, I wanted to ask Chen'er and Qingli to enter the palace together, in addition to meeting this girl, I also wanted to match the feelings between them, but now it seems that her wife is troublesome......
Hiding the smile in her heart, the Queen Mother held Qing Li's hand affectionately, "It's rare for Qing girl to enter the palace once, so let's stay here to eat at the mourning family today." She also likes this child, not arrogant, not impatient, not humble, not arrogant, casual and gentle, lazy and peaceful, such a temperament is so rare in the palace that even she can't help but get close.
"No, Imperial Grandmother, I think she's tired!" Ling Yichen spoke first, indicating his attitude.
He understood that the imperial uncle and the imperial grandmother clearly wanted to audit Qingli! The palace is a place of right and wrong, and he doesn't want her to stay longer.
Haven't passed the door to protect it like this? The Queen Mother was full of fun in her heart, but she pretended to be angry on her face, "Chen'er, the mourning family just wants to keep the Qing girl for a meal, is it possible to embarrass her?" ”
Ling Yichen pursed his mouth disdainfully, it would be boring to consume it any longer! Giving a slight salute, he said coldly: "Uncle Huang, grandmother Huang, the sons and daughters have retired first!" ”
As soon as the words fell, he didn't wait for the two to respond, he directly grabbed Qing Li's wrist and left, without looking back.
The fiery palm wrapped around her thin wrist, and Qing Li was a little confused.
She knew that this person was unruly, but she didn't expect to be so arrogant! The emperor and the queen mother actually connived at him like this? Challenging their authority like this, how can he still be safe?
Qing Li couldn't help but be a little puzzled, I'm afraid there is something hidden here......
Shrugged indifferently, Qing Li only followed him all the way, she didn't want to stay there anyway, so it just helped her!
The warm and soft touch in his palm made Ling Yichen feel a little dazed, he was really afraid that such a slender wrist would be broken by his heart, but he was reluctant to let go......
The trees of the Imperial Garden were green and green, and among the bushes, a thin figure shrunk in them and sobbed lowly, the rustling of the leaves in the breeze, masking her thin cry, but if you listened closely, you could still find it.
Qing Li paused, followed the sound and looked, only to see that in the midst of the greenery, a bright red was extremely eye-catching. The bright red light veil was scattered on the ground, and the embroidered Vermilion Bird Phoenix was gorgeous and noble, and it was clear that its owner was of extraordinary status.
Princess Sier?
Qing Li Feng's eyes flashed slightly, and she thought of Fang Cai's fragile figure in her mind, and felt a little pity.
Ling Yichen squinted his eyes slightly, let go of his clenched palm, tilted his head, and motioned for her to come over and take relief. Si Er looks a little willful on weekdays, but she is actually a sensitive girl, and today's incident is a bit of a big blow to her!
Qing Li Wan'er, but I didn't see that he still had a careful side.
Nodding slightly, Qing Li slowly walked into the bushes. The soil on the ground was soft, and there was not much sound when stepped on, and Ling Sier was just crying intently, pulling his head on his lap, where could he feel someone approaching?
The little hand weakly pulled the leaves in his hand, and Ling Sier murmured dissatisfiedly: "Stinky Father, Rotten Father!" Ignore people...... Dislike! ”
"It's obviously Ling Qianqi's stinky boy...... isn't it?"
"Is it easy for a mother bird to lay an egg? That stinky boy is going to dig ......."
Qing Li originally listened to her complaining silently, but when it came to the last sentence, she couldn't help but chuckle.
She thought that this princess interfered with the Thirteen Princes because the two were not compatible, but she didn't think it was for this reason! It's so cute!
Qing Li's laughter startled Ling Sier, she raised her head in a daze, only to see the woman who had helped Ling Qianqi treat her with a light smile in front of her. Because her back was to the sun and her eyes were hazy with tears, Ling Sier didn't really see her face, but she could also feel the warmth she carried behind the soft halo.
"What are you doing here?" It's always uncomfortable to be found out that she is so wolf, Ling Sier wiped away the mottled tears on her face in a panic, and glared at her with slight annoyance.
The little face carved in pink was a little blurry after the baptism of tears, and just now she wiped her tears with her mud-stained hands, and now she looks like a little flower cat, but she still stares at the slightly swollen apricot eyes, full of defense.
This appearance made Qing Li amused and a little distressed at the same time. What an insecure girl......
"Well, it's a nice view." Qing Li replied to the question, smiled lightly and took a few steps closer, seeing her more vigilant eyes a little helpless, "Can I sit next to you?" This location is just right to get the sun and is very comfortable. ”
A warm smile was on her face, Ling Sier actually felt that the demeanor was very similar to that of the queen mother, and she choked in her throat when she thought of refusing, and she couldn't say a word, but the ghost made her nod her head in a hurry.
Qing Li sat on the ground casually, not caring about the spring mud staining her light green Luo skirt, her fingers brushing the tender grass that had just grown, closing her eyes and enjoying the caress of the sun, indescribably comfortable and easy-going.
Ling Yichen, who was not far away, leaned against the trunk of the tree, and she couldn't help but be shocked when she saw that. It's obviously so soft that it can't be done, why is it so dazzling?
