Chapter 183
The slender fingers kept caressing those things, and then picked up a spinning top, looked at it gently, and said:
"She gave it to me. Tell me, what does it mean that she is a girl's family, and she is so flattering to another girl's family? I'm a good focus, but if I change to other girls who are almost fixed, I might fall in love with her. ”
Xie Yan smiled again, the queen's eyes lingered in the box, and it could be seen that she was very nostalgic for the things in the box, and there were many small toys that were already very smooth on the surface, indicating that these things should be played with every day during a certain period of time, which shows that the queen may really have a deep friendship with Luo.
"But then, we all grew up. They all have their own troubles. She is engaged, but she falls in love with another man. She didn't dare to say who that man was, but I knew that she loved him! The queen's words were like bubbling water, surging on Xie Yan's heart, and while she listened, she also followed the queen's movements and began to play with the contents of the box.
Suddenly saw a scroll of scrolls, I only felt very familiar, because the wooden handle of the scroll is very unique, not like the round heads nowadays, but gourd-shaped......
The ghost envoy stretched out his hand to the scroll and asked the queen, "Niangniang, can I take a look at this?" ”
The queen raised her head and looked at the things in Xie Yan's hand, a little surprised, but she didn't stop it, nodded and said, "Look." But she didn't give it to me, it was given to her by someone else, and she didn't want it. ”
With doubts, Xie Yan opened the scroll, and a familiar picture came into view, this painting is a beautiful girl in a goose yellow dress, and the curve of her lips seems to be able to drown in it...... This painting, Xie Yan saw it in Canglan Garden, this is Luo's relic, and now she still puts it in the painting bottle in the small study, but how can this painting be in the palace?
Xie Yan looked at the painting carefully again, and let out a low moan, and the queen also noticed that she was wrong, leaned over to look at it, and asked:
"What's wrong?"
Xie Yan closed the scroll, looked at the queen, hesitated for a moment, and then asked the queen: "Niangniang, this painting is ......"
The queen smiled slightly: "It's her!" Your mother-in-law! Alas, she looked like a young man, always smiling and groaning, hearty like a boy. ”
Xie Yan asked again: "Then who painted this painting?" ”
"Huh?" The queen couldn't understand what Xie Yan's nervous expression meant, but she still replied, "Your Majesty." Don't you know about her and the emperor? How can you be so surprised! ”
"......" Xie Yan hesitated for a while, and then asked tentatively: "Then Niangniang, how many pictures of this painting have been painted by the emperor?" ”
"How many are you drawing? What's wrong with you today, kid? This painting was painted by the emperor to her back then, but she didn't want to be a person in the emperor's harem, so she rejected him no matter what she said, so she lost the painting, and I picked it up, and then hid it. You can't tell your father, this is my private possession, he knows about it, and he will definitely go back with me. ”
When Xie Yan heard this, she opened the painting again and looked at it, and suddenly saw that the sky above the woman's head in this painting seemed to be blank, but the painting she saw in Canglan Garden, she could clearly remember that there was a golden eagle painted on the top of the woman's head......
"I saw a picture like this at home, but it's a little different from this one." After struggling for a while, Xie Yan decided to talk to the queen about the problem.
The queen was also surprised when she heard this, and asked:
"How is this possible? This painting is the emperor's ......" As if she suddenly remembered something, the queen's brows also frowned slightly, and said, "Is the painting you said still with you?" ”
Xie Yan nodded, and the queen said again: "Now I will order someone to go to your house to get it." She is the only person in the world who can imitate the emperor's notes so similarly. ”
After the queen ordered, Xie Yan whispered a few words in Huayi's ear, Huayi nodded and took the order, and the queen asked Hao Mama to go with her, and then turned around and said to Xie Yan:
"Alas, my life, it's also quite boring, since she got married, we rarely interact, and then I entered the palace, she was even more reluctant to pay attention to me, in fact, we all know that the emperor's favorite person is her, but she is stubborn and unwilling to agree, at the beginning, I summoned her into the palace, she was willing to come a few times, but later, it was to call her, and she never came in to meet us again."
“……”
After listening to the queen's words, Xie Yan also had some information in her heart.
In fact, Luo's is in love with the emperor. She said to the emperor that she loved Shen Ye, which was simply a prevarication, and later married Shen Ye by mistake, and her friend married into the palace and became the queen, at the beginning, she was willing to enter the palace, that must be the beginning, Shen Ye did not let her be dyed with five stones, and then ...... It's because she wants to enter the palace, but she can't enter the palace.
Luo has the dignity of Luo Shi, she doesn't want her former lovers and former friends to see her dilapidated and miserable appearance, so she simply uses arrogance and indifference to maintain her image, and does not destroy the good memories of her lovers and friends.
But Xie Yan didn't know whether Luo's decision was wrong or right.
She maintained her face so indifferently, and finally made Shen Ye torture her even harder, and her son Shen Xi also followed her to suffer and suffer. And now Shen Xi is desperately forbearance of Shen Ye's many provocations in order to maintain her face.
Even if in the end, Shen Xi will definitely settle the account with the Shen family, but the price he paid is too painful, and the process can be said to be torturous.
And the consequence of the torment is a volcanic eruption. In the final analysis, the hundreds of lives of the Shen family are actually bearing the consequences for the sins that Shen Ye has done.
Huayi and Mama Hao came back soon, Xie Yan not only asked Huayi to take the scroll in the small study, but also took the box of agarwood left by Luo's, the first thing the queen saw was not the scroll, but the box that Huayi was holding in her hand, and was surprised to let Huayi present, she held it in her hand, stroked the top of the box with her palm, and muttered to herself:
"She's still keeping this."
After saying this, then the queen put the box on her lap, and looked up to see the two scrolls of paintings unfolded by Xie Yan, the woman in the painting has exactly the same demeanor, exactly the same dress, the composition of the painter and the style of painting are exactly the same, but the scroll in Xie Yan's hand, above the head of the smiling girl, a golden eagle is circling.
The queen mother held the box in her hand, stepped off the pedal, walked to the painting, looked at it hesitantly for a while, and then sighed faintly, stroked the agarwood box in her hand, and said:
"Why do you think you're doing this? Obviously ......"
Seeing that the queen seemed to understand something, Xie Yan started to roll up the two scrolls that were almost the same, and saw that the queen kept looking down at the box in her hand, so she asked her:
"Mother, here...... What is it? ”
The queen looked up at Xie Yan and said, "You haven't opened it?" ”
Xie Yan shook her head.
The queen didn't speak, so she turned the box around, only to see a piece of wood in the lower right corner of the bottom of the box being pushed open, revealing a small hole, and then a key fell out of the hole, the queen raised her eyebrows at Xie Yan, looked at the delicate key in her hand, and sighed again:
"It was the only thing I gave her, I made it myself. She has always been sloppy, and I was afraid that she would lose all the keys, so I hid one here, and never told her, and planned to come to me when she lost the key. It's a pity that after waiting for so many years, she hasn't come to me to ask. ”
After saying this, the queen mother lowered her head, grabbed the small lock at the front end of the box, inserted the key and put it in, after the box was opened, it revealed a richer smell of agarwood, and then came into view was a stack of envelopes, the surface of the envelope is sealed with a variety of flower notes, looking elegant and interesting.
The queen seems to be more touched: "After so many years, she still likes to engage in such childish things......"
The agarwood box was full of letters, which were unilaterally written to the emperor and queen after Luo's marriage, but they were not sent.
The queen looked at the letters one by one and asked Xie Yan if she wanted to read them, Xie Yan shook her head, saying that it was better for her not to look at her mother-in-law's privacy, but the queen didn't care, and said: "These are her relics, we are her closest people, besides, I don't know about her thoughts, it's just that she is awkward, so many years have passed, and she still holds on to it." You see, she has a lot of grievances and grievances about the emperor's intentions, and if she wants to say that she doesn't like the emperor, my name will be written backwards. ”
Xie Yan still didn't read it, just drinking tea on the side, but the queen was tireless, read one after another, after reading it, and folded it, and then sealed it with a flower note, it took half a day, the queen finally saw the last letter, because her name would often be mentioned in the letter, so from beginning to end, the queen read it with a smile, until she saw the last letter, her face changed, with a completely different demeanor, the letter was read from top to bottom, and then closed it, and asked Xie Yan:
"Do you know how your mother-in-law died?"
“……”
Xie Yan just took a sip of tea, and after listening to the queen's sudden question, she almost squirted out the tea in her mouth. There was no reason in my heart, and after swallowing my saliva, I looked at the queen with a cry, and I didn't dare to speak for a long time......
Did the queen find something?
Or, what did Lowe's write in the letter? Probably not, how could Luo's care about his dignity so much, how could he write those humiliating things in the letter and leave a handle?
While she was thinking wildly, the queen asked again:
"Do you really know? A few years before she died, what happened to the Shen family? ”
“……”
At this moment, Xie Yan was completely dumbfounded.
