Chapter 122: Imperial Concubine Mo Tailan
Weiyang Palace
At this moment, the queen is a little tired between her eyebrows and eyes, although the fat powder on her face hides a little tiredness, but she can still see the pale face, which is what Zhu Yanxi felt when she walked into Weiyang Palace, it seems that Zhang Lan's matter, the queen is concerned, but if it is other concubines, the same is true, it is said that early this morning, the emperor left from the Yutai Palace with a spring breeze.
"Yan Xi greets the queen's aunt!" Zhu Yan cherished his blessings and saluted, and the tiredness on his face was undoubtedly revealed.
"Didn't Bengong say that when no one is around, you and Bengong don't need to be so polite, just don't listen!" Na Xin'er hurriedly helped Zhu Yanxi up, and looked at Yan Xi with a little dissatisfaction.
"Aunt Queen, this ceremony cannot be abolished, you are in the harem, how many pairs of eyes are staring, if it is because of Yan Xi, and the Queen Aunt you are disputed, it will be more than worth the loss~" helped the queen to sit down on the side, and Zhu Yanxi sat down on the side.
"Alas..."The queen let out a long sigh, Yan Xi's words were all true, what was gained, and what was lost, it was really equal, if it was an ordinary family, aunt and niece, where did you need to be so careful.
Zhu Yanxi raised her eyes lightly, frowned, and said, "Aunt Queen, didn't sleep well?" Face, why is it so haggard? ”
The care in the words made Na Xin'er very pleased, "Concubine Lan, how can this palace sleep, but you, how can you be so tired?" ”
I knew early on that Yan Xi and Tuoba Yuanqiong and Mo Taihao were talking at night, and the queen pretended not to know at the moment, and naturally it was also within Yan Xi's expectations, and the corners of the originally raised mouth also eased, "The two princes talked about the old night last night, for no reason, and they chatted with Yan Xi for a long time, and Yan Xi was not easy to shirk, but Yan Xi was having something to do, and I wanted to ask the queen's aunt~"
When Na Xin'er heard this, she frowned, "This Yuan Qiong, I don't know how to be proportionate, how can your body withstand tossing!" ”
In the queen's tone, she was indeed a little dissatisfied with Tuoba Yuanqiong, after all, Yan Xi's poison was still in her body at the moment, and in the queen's opinion, Zhu Yanxi was like a sick and weak person, who needed more rest.
"Yan Xi's body is fine, so don't worry about Aunt Queen." Zhu Yanxi comforted the queen, her face was full of tenderness, and she smiled at the queen.
"It's really okay~" Na Xin'er sighed, and then asked, "Yan Xi, you just said that you have something to ask the palace?" ”
"Yes!" Zhu Yanxi nodded, "I also want to invite you, Aunt Queen, you know everything." ”
Zhu Yanxi's serious face also made Na Xin'er's heart hang.
"As long as this palace knows and Yan Xi wants to know, this palace will tell you. Between you and me, this is needless to say. Na Xin'er replied affirmatively.
"Yes~" Yan Xi lowered his eyelids, and then continued: "Actually, Yan Xi is a little puzzled, for the matter of the imperial concubine, the prince is very jealous, and in the harem, Yan Xi doesn't know much about it. ”
"Yuan Qiong doesn't want to mention it, so naturally he won't tell you, this is something that Bengong understands."
"Aunt Queen, can you tell me about the Imperial Concubine?" Yan Xi's eyes were full of expectation.
"Actually, the matter of Mo Tailan is not as magical as everyone rumors, and many things have become a lot more magical if they are falsely rumored." The queen's eyes were dyed with a layer of mist, her voice came slowly, and her thoughts seemed to return to that year. "This palace remembers that after my sister's accident, it didn't take long for the emperor to die, and the emperor also succeeded to the throne logically, during the national funeral, Tianlan bullied Guizhu and tried to annex Guizhu, but I never thought that although the emperor had just succeeded to the throne, for the border war, the domestic political situation, were nine out of ten, and the confrontation between Guizhu and Tianlan was evenly matched, and this stalemate lasted for most of the year..."
"There are many wars, the people, even if they are afraid, they are all miserable, and the confrontation between powerful countries, I am afraid that some countries will reap the benefits of fishermen." Zhu Yanxi frowned.
Na Xin'er smiled softly, "Yes, fortunately, the emperor and the monarch of Tianlan Country are not arrogant, self-righteous kings, and the loyal advice of the ministers naturally listened to it, but no one was willing to take the lead in lowering their heads, until, Mo Tailan's automatic invitation~"
Zhu Yanxi noticed that when it came to Mo Tailan, there was appreciation in the queen's eyes, which showed that such a woman was also admired by the queen's aunt.
"As the most favored princess of Tianlan Kingdom, Mo Tailan appeared in Guizhu Country on the grounds of playfulness, and the emperor of Tianlan Country also took the opportunity to use this as an excuse to seek the emperor's help, and with a tense momentum, through this Mo Tai Lan incident, they tacitly stopped the war with each other."
"The imperial concubine proposed to make peace?" Zhu Yanxi frowned, could it be that the imperial concubine existed because of this political factor?
Na Xin'er shook her head, and in her tone, there was also pity for Mo Tailan, "Mo Tailan used this method to alleviate the war between the two countries, but he didn't want to make peace, but since he asked the emperor for help on the grounds that the princess was lost in Guizhu Country, he always wanted to be pretentious, and no one thought that the emperor would fall in love with Mo Tailan at first sight!" ”
Love at first sight!
Na Xin'er's words shocked Zhu Yanxi!
It's just that, after thinking about it carefully, Zhu Yanxi denied this idea, judging from the current situation, the emperor's feelings for his mother, or the most sincere, love at first sight, whether it is true or not, is indeed difficult to deduce.
The queen looked at Yan Xi's expression and smiled helplessly, yes, how could it be love at first sight~
Looking at the expression on the queen's aunt's face, full of ridicule, Zhu Yanxi suddenly realized that this matter was really the emperor's own wishful thinking. Zhu Yanxi was puzzled: "The imperial concubine is the favorite daughter of the monarch of Tianlan Kingdom, and it is impossible for the emperor of Tianlan Kingdom to marry with his favorite princess, even if it is the emperor's wishful thinking." ”
"Yes, Yuan Qiong's personality is very similar to her mother's mother, with Mo Tailan's character, she will not allow such a thing to happen~" The queen sighed heavily, "However, people are not as good as heaven, no matter how smart Mo Tailan is, he still can't escape the fate of being calculated, and the noble queen mother is not for her own son, so she is planning again." After all, during that time, the emperor's hatred for the queen mother was real, and the bad mother-son relationship really needed someone to decompose, the emperor's love for his sister, now that I think about it, the queen mother will make a move, there is no surprise at all. ”
With the queen's words, the more she spoke, the clearer it became, and the suspicion in Zhu Yanxi's heart became deeper and deeper.
The queen stopped, took a sip of tea, seemed to be grieving herself, and seemed to be grieving the imperial concubine, the almost inaudible sad laughter still came into Zhu Yanxi's ears, "Hehe... As the pride of the princess of Tianlan Kingdom, Mo Tailan naturally will not allow this kind of scandal to spread, and this palace also understands this, so whether she wants to or not, the matter is a foregone conclusion, as smart as Mo Tailan, how can she allow her status to be at a disadvantage, so there are rumors of this legend later. ”
The queen's words also made Yan Xi understand, this rumor that the emperor and the imperial concubine fell in love at first sight, and the two of them were stronger than Jinjian, and the imperial concubine entered the palace for the emperor, which was the reason! Sure enough, what you see may not be true, and what you hear may also be fake!
When the matter came to this, Zhu Yanxi also had her own judgment, and her frowning brows never let go.
"Aunt Queen, what Yan Xi doesn't understand is why the emperor fell in love at first sight?" Zhu Yanxi asked the doubts in her heart.
"Yan Xi, you naturally don't understand, Bengong thinks, many people don't understand. Hehe~ Have you ever known that the imperial concubine is not like a sister, but she is a little like a sister who is enough? The queen's sigh appeared again, every time she mentioned this matter, she would sigh, sigh for her fate, and sigh for the fate of the imperial concubine, both of them, because they had too many similarities with their sister, they were sad, and they were selected by the emperor into the harem. Thinking of this, Na Xin'er's eyes were filled with tears of sadness.
Many people don't understand, but only they know it, because they have lived with their sister for too long, how can they not be familiar with everything about their sister, but the imperial concubine will never understand that she will be forced to enter the palace because of her own back image.
The queen's aunt's words made Yan Xi's eyes flash with fear! A terrible thought flashed in his mind, but he didn't dare to ask, Yan Xi stopped talking, and the hand that picked up the teacup trembled slightly.
"Yan Xi, what do you want to say?" Na Xin'er looked at Zhu Yanxi's expression, full of worry.
"Aunt Queen, Yan Xi is thinking, why would the Queen Mother do this for the emperor? If there is no acquiescence or indication from the emperor, I am afraid, and the queen mother will not dare, so calculate the princess of a country~" Zhu Yanxi frowned and said the guess in his heart, if it is true, then this emperor is not much nobler than his father, and even more despicable.
The queen looked at Yan Xi and nodded heavily, "This palace has also doubted it more than once, but whether it is or not, what can it do?" ”
Listening to the helplessness in the queen's aunt's tone, Zhu Yanxi secretly discovered, yes, what can be done? That's the emperor, he is in power, he wants to kill him, he can't get it, it's just that such a person, how can he be a beloved in the eyes of his mother?
I only heard the queen laugh, "Yan Xi is also the same as this palace, I think my sister and the emperor are not worthy, right?" Bengong used to think so, but no matter how selfish the emperor is, at least for his sister, he is selfless, a person like this, for your father, there is only fulfillment, and his fulfillment comes from what his sister wants, so he gives. ”
The queen's aunt's words, so Zhu Yanxi didn't know how to react, indeed, the emperor is selfish, but indeed, the fulfillment of his mother, although he doesn't know, his mother is not willing, but he is still willing, for the sake of his mother's fulfillment, he promoted and reused his father, and for himself, he also tried his best to protect, good or bad, I am afraid that I can't judge.
Yan Xi's breathing was a little heavy, and looking at the helplessness on the queen's aunt's face, Wei Wei said, "Aunt queen, are you disappointed in the emperor?" ”
Zhu Yanxi's implication is naturally that she thinks that the queen's aunt has affection for the emperor, because she is affectionate, so sad, Na Xin'er heard this, but just looked at Yan Xi for a long time, the pain in her eyes was difficult to ignore, Zhu Yanxi looked a little distressed, and was about to say something, when she saw the queen's aunt hook the corners of her mouth and slowly shook her head.
Na Xin'er stood up and patted Zhu Yanxi's hand, and then said with a smile, "Yan Xi thinks too much, but Mo Tailan is still lucky, compared to the emperor's harem, there are so many stand-ins, but none of them can have her favor." ”
"The imperial concubine's favor, I'm afraid, not only because she is like a mother, or since the imperial concubine, there are many stand-ins in the harem, all of which are more or less similar to the mother's relatives, but no one can be the same as the imperial concubine, and get the emperor's other eyes~" Zhu Yanxi calmly pointed out his suspicions.
The queen nodded approvingly, "Yes, if you just look like a sister, how can you survive in this harem, there are so many people like a sister, how can the emperor be so gentle to anyone." Mo Tailan's personality is very rare, and the emperor unconsciously tried his best for Mo Tailan, otherwise, why would he be so doting on Yuan Qiong after she left, and how could there be a concubine similar to Mo Tailan, who favored the six palaces~"
Zhu Yanxi was silent for a long time, and then raised her head, "Aunt Queen, this Concubine Lan, could it be the Imperial Concubine?" ”
Zhu Yanxi's words, sure enough, the queen's figure froze, and Na Xin'er looked into Yan Xi's clear eyes inquiringly, and then asked, "Why does Yan Xi ask like this?" ”
"The queen's aunt doesn't know, last night, the prince asked Yan Xi to go with Concubine Lan Shu more, only saying that Concubine Lan Shu was helpless in the palace, but Yan Xi didn't see it that way." Zhu Yanxi bit her lip, "Not to mention that if the imperial concubine is alive, she should be similar to Concubine Lan Shu now, the abnormality of the prince alone is enough to make people suspicious, but Yan Xi doesn't understand what the prince is doing this." ”
Shocked and surprised, the queen was silent for a long time, Tuoba Yuanqiong's hostility towards Concubine Li can be seen, for the stand-in, like his own mother and concubine, they are not happy, and this Zhang Lan, who was sent to the palace by Mo Taihao, can get Tuoba Yuanqiong's other eyes, it is definitely problematic. "What does Yuan Qiong mean by himself?" Na Xin'er frowned.
"The prince said that he was afraid of misunderstanding, so it's good for Yan Xi to contact him, Aunt Queen, you have seen the imperial concubine, do you think that this Lan Shufei is the imperial concubine, is it a big possibility?" The inquirer, the queen, Zhu Yanxi also noticed the changes in this queen.
"Yan Xi, you don't believe in Yuan Qiong?"
"No, I'm just weird."
"Tomorrow, let's take a look at this palace~ Now, you are the one who is going to marry, don't worry about your own affairs, what to do when you worry about other people's affairs~" The queen touched Yan Xi's head, full of love, and instructed a lot of things to pay attention to after marrying into the palace.
After a long time, Zhu Yanxi left Weiyang Palace, and when she was about to return to Heyuan, a voice stopped her...
------Off topic------
You say, "Who is it that stops Yan Xi?"
Ahem, the wedding, it's almost there~
