Chapter 22: Chongxi
The Queen Mother listened to Xilin Jinyue's words, hesitated in her heart, stared at Xilin Jinyue and Xi Linlang, and asked, "Is this true?" β
"Yue'er didn't dare to deceive the Queen Mother." Xilin Jinyue calmly bowed her head and replied.
Xi Linlang saw that Xilin Jinyue's face was firm, however, what she said was unheard of by herself, so, in order not to take responsibility, Xi Linlang replied: "This is something that the lower official has never heard, but the lower official knows that if the night stargazing prince star and a dancing surrounding star can stay together, it is Shangshangji, which can solve the current chaotic situation in the palace......"
"But Sakura's girl...... I'm afraid I'm going to be wronged. Originally, it was the mourning family who promoted this matter, and Yingxue's girl was also desperate for Hao'er, although she had never seen Hao'er's good face over the years, she had no complaints at all. Moreover, she is the daughter of Prime Minister Dong Cheng's family, she knows the rules and etiquette, it is not that the mourning family favors her own family, but the position of this princess is the position of the future queen, the ancestral inheritance, how can she be so nonsense? β
Dong Wenyuan's heart is a little depressed, Dong Yingxue is her own family, she looks very good, and she is knowledgeable, why does God play tricks on them like this, why do you have to ask a dancer to take Yingxue's position and become Hao'er's crown princess, the future queen of Wu Zhuguo?
Xilin Jinyue saw the queen mother's unwillingness, and said seemingly casually: "A daughter of the country, a dancing girl, in comparison, it is indeed Miss Yingxue who is more suitable for the position of the crown princess, but our own ideas are no match for the will of heaven after all, at the moment, isn't this also a helpless move?" β
Seeing that the Queen Mother still refused to waver, Xilin Jinyue had no choice but to take out the words of the ancestral foundation, and attacked the shield of the son with the spear of the son: "For the sake of the national peace and security of Wuzhu Kingdom, we have to sacrifice Miss Yingxue, aren't we also for the ancestral inheritance......"
Dong Wenyuan looked tired, looked at Xi Linlang with his forehead, and said, "Lord Xi, what do you say?" β
Seeing Dong Wenyuan like this, Xilin Jinyue took it very easily, and gently massaged the Queen Mother with her fingers dipped in peppermint oil. Xilin Jinyue knew that usually at this time, it was the time when the Queen Mother wanted to compromise, so she unconsciously had a faint smile on her face, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling, but it was very comfortable to watch.
Xi Linlang looked at this look of joy that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and bowed his head and said: "This matter, the lower official said that it doesn't count, if it weren't for the astrological signs, what dare the lower official have to make the queen mother embarrassed so much?" To tell the truth, the stars and clouds are chaotic, the prince star and a dancing surrounding star stand out from the encirclement, and they can stay together for a long time, the reason why it is Shangshangji, it is precisely because of the two stars that the world is determined, the world is established, and the world is established, isn't it reasonable to solve the current chaotic situation in the palace...... This method is just like the folk chongxi, there must be the right person, so as to achieve the goal of chongxi. β
"That being the case......" Dong Wenyuan listened to Xi Linlang's words and sighed deeply: "The mourning family has nothing to say, but ......"
Feng Zeyi once said that the girl "Jingyi" looks like Yuning, and she is from Danxiang Kingdom, Dong Wenyuan is only afraid, if Hao'er and "Jingyi" are really brother and sister, then, wouldn't it be bad to break the code of ethics, this is absolutely unacceptable......
But just when Dong Yingxue was worried and didn't know how to tell the truth, someone came to report: "Queen Mother, the good concubine of Shuyi Hall is here." β
Dong Wenyuan didn't want too many people to know the merits of the road, but she had no choice but to think about the situation of "Jingyi" in her heart, and after thinking about it for a while, she called Concubine Liang in: "Call her in." β
Concubine Liang walked in, saw that Xi Linlang was also there, very surprised, and then looked at the Queen Mother with a preoccupied look, Concubine Liang didn't dare to say more, and only bowed uprightly at the moment, and said: "The concubine greets the Queen Mother, and wishes the Queen Mother a long life and good health......."
The queen mother saw that Concubine Liang looked like a showman, not as simple and generous as before, although she knew in her heart that she was because Feng Zeyi often went to Shuyi Hall to see "Jingyi" recently, which ignited her restless heart, but in the end she didn't like it very much: "These nonsense can be avoided, if Concubine Liang comes to the mourning family here just for gossip, then you can go to the side hall to rest first, and wait for the mourning family to listen to the astrological explanation of Lord Xi, and then call you here." β
"This ......" Concubine Liang obviously didn't expect that the Queen Mother's attitude would have such a big contrast, and she didn't know what to say for a while: "The concubine came, in fact, it was for the sake of the 'Jingyi' girl......"
'Oh?' What's going on with Jingyi? Dong Wenyuan saw Concubine Liang's cautious appearance, and suddenly realized that his tone was too blunt, and unconsciously, his tone was much more relaxed.
"Back to the Empress Dowager's words, the 'Jingyi' girl has lost Mr. Ouyang's blood, and she has already recovered, and now, she has also woken up, I don't know if the Empress Dowager wants to send someone to take a look?" The Queen Mother's tone improved, but Concubine Liang didn't dare to take it lightly, the Queen Mother's tired appearance was really scary.
"The emperor is staying in your Shuyi Palace?" Dong Wenyuan looked at her and asked lukewarmly.
"Yes. The concubines came to come, which was exactly what the emperor meant. Concubine Liang raised her head slightly and replied softly.
As soon as Dong Wenyuan heard her say this, her heart became more and more uncomfortable, she dared to love the good concubine who was sticking to the emperor for a while, and she didn't have the heart to come to her Fushou Palace at all, if it wasn't for Feng Zeyi's words today, I'm afraid, it would be difficult for her to enter the gate of this Fushou Palace.
"Go ahead, the mourning family asks Yue'er to go with you." Dong Wenyuan motioned to Xilin Jinyue: "You go and come back quickly, don't delay too long, the mourning family is waiting for your news." β
"Yes." Xilin Jinyue was very happy when she heard this, this is simply "God help me"!
Seeing this, Concubine Liang didn't say much, gave a proper salute, and said softly: "The concubine has resigned." β
"Hmm. Go ahead. Dong Wenyuan looked lukewarm and nodded.
After the two left, Dong Wenyuan said the concerns in her heart, Xi Linlang obviously didn't expect that this Feng Yanhao and "Jingyi" turned out to be bloody, and it may be a brother and sister relationship. If this trouble continues, this is **, what can I do?
"This ...... The Queen Mother laughed, the 'Jingyi' girl and His Royal Highness the Third Prince have had a marriage contract for so many years, if the 'Jingyi' girl and the eldest prince are brother and sister, then the 'Jingyi' girl and His Royal Highness the Third Prince are naturally also brother and sister, if so, how can the two make a marriage contract? Xi Linlang finally used some brains to speak this time.
Dong Wenyuan thought about it, it seems that she is really worried about herself, even if this is the case, then she has nothing to say, and in addition, it is such an opportunity for "Jingyi" to get better, it seems that this joy is really providential.
"That being the case, then let's hurry up and accomplish this, don't make the palace messy, and the mourning family will not be at peace." Dong Wenyuan rubbed the corners of his forehead, only to feel dizzy and sleepy, since this matter has been decided, the sooner the better.
"Yes, the next official will do it." Xi Linlang bowed his head and went.
When Dong Wenyuan was left alone in this empty house, she thought about Xilin Jinyue, Xi Linlang, and Concubine Liang...... Faces flashed before her eyes, and she suddenly felt extremely tired, and it was not long before she fell asleep on the couch.
In the Shuyi Palace, Xilin Jinyue looked at the "Jingning" with clear eyebrows and liked it very much. Unexpectedly, this girl was so sick, but her spirit was excellent, except that there was no blood on her face, her words and expressions were gentle and vivid.
"I heard before that Sister Yue'er is a popular person next to the Queen Mother, if it weren't for a figure with a head and face, she would not be blessed. Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Sister Yue'er, which shows that I fell in love with Sister Yue'er. β
Xilin Jinyue's heart was full of joy when she said this, but she didn't look pretentious at all, so that Xilin Jinyue fell in love with her at once: "Look at what you said, I'm just a girl, where is it as noble as you say?" If there is, it is also borrowing the glory of the Queen Mother, I am just a fox and a fake tiger. β
"Hehe......" Jing Ning suddenly became happy when she heard Xilin Jinyue say this: "Sister, this fox fake tiger is not something anyone can do, which shows that my sister is smart." β
When Xilin Jinyue heard this, she knew that she had used the wrong word to make a joke for a while, Jing Ning said it, she was not very angry, she only smiled: "My sister has read less, I don't have to provoke my sister's jokes, if I become a permanent resident of the palace in the future, it is not too late for my sister to ask my sister for advice." β
Jing Ning was stunned in his heart, he didn't know what Xilin Jinyue was referring to, and suddenly remembered that day and Feng Jian Che had a quarrel, and when he talked about it, he used the name of Feng Jian Che's fiancΓ©e to save himself, so he thought that Xilin Jinyue was referring to this, and for a while, he didn't know how to interface.
Xilin Jinyue saw that Jing Ning was silent, thinking that she was shy, so she reached out and took Jing Ning's hand, and said softly: "Sister, don't you want to?" β
This was a pun, Jing Ning didn't know how to answer for a while, so he picked up a head and said with a smile: "What did my sister say, learning is a good thing, my sister is willing to learn, 'Jingyi' teaches it, where can I not want to?" β
Jing Ning is four or two thousand catties, but Xilin Jinyue seems to be "Jing Yi" who is not easy to speak in front of everyone, so she expressed her willingness to teach her to learn, and smiled at the moment: "My sister has just woken up, don't bother like this, you are so resting, wait for the imperial dining room to boil bird's nest and send it, my sister will eat more, it is a very nourishing thing." There are still some things in the Queen Mother's Palace, my sister is done, and I have to come to see you when I have time. β
Jing Ning listened to Xilin Jinyue's words, nodded, and said with a smile: "My sister is good to go, my sister is like this, so I won't send each other, and when my sister gets better, I will definitely compensate my sister well." β
Xilin Jinyue didn't push back, and said directly: "Sister, remember what you said, sister wait." β
Jing Ning smiled and nodded, Xilin Jinyue went here, and the Queen Mother was still waiting for her to reply in Fushou Palace, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.
