Chapter Seventy-Four: Enemies meet and divide enemies
"In short, I am against this marriage. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Mrs. Yu leaned back in her chair, looking at her extremely angry. Mandarin Yuan felt sorry for her mother so much, so she hurriedly poured a glass of warm water and handed it to Mrs. Yu, and gently persuaded her to drink a little to calm her mood.
Duanyue listened to Mrs. Yu's words, and her face was already blue.
"Why do you have to object? Princess Sheng'an is Princess Sheng'an, so the county lord of Jinzhao is the county lord of Jinzhao, can't it be equated, right? The mandarin duck was entangled for a while, her face was embarrassed, but she couldn't help but patiently dissuade Mrs. Yu. She still has a slight affection for Lu Qingyi, perhaps because the relationship between the two is not familiar, but they just met in Pingshui, so she felt that Lu Qingyi was not bad with a few glances.
Mrs. Yu bounced up from the back of her chair, and she sat up straight and glared at the mandarin duck, as if to blame her for turning her elbow out. "A woman like Meng Chunqian, what good can she give birth to!"
The mandarin duck was glanced at by Mrs. Yu, and suddenly lowered her head timidly and no longer dared to speak. She knew that her mother was because of her strong dislike for Princess Sheng An, so she was prejudiced against Lu Qingyi. However, at this moment, Mrs. Yu couldn't listen to anything.
"Xiaoyue, tell me, how did he get on Meng Chunqian's daughter? These two people usually don't have much to do with each other! ā
"Just before the Queen Mother's birthday, Lu Qingyi was ordered to return to Beijing, but he accidentally fell into the water, and my brother was kind enough to save him when he passed by. It is estimated that Lu Qingyi saw that my brother was dignified and extraordinary, so he stuck to my brother like this. Some time ago, because of my ...... with Wei Que" Duan Yue just read the word "Wei Que", and suddenly reacted that this is a taboo time, and sure enough, the afterglow swept to the thin body of the mandarin duck and stiffened.
Now that the words have been spoken, it is difficult to collect them. Duanyue had no choice but to cough hurriedly and fool around. She continued.
"I got into trouble and walked away, and I ended up leaving this mess and giving my brother a headache. Lu Qingyi took the initiative to help my brother, she wandered between the Wei family and the Ninghou Mansion, and it was not easy for her to stop pursuing it, so my brother should also think that Lu Qingyi is good because of this reason. ā
Mrs. Yu was so angry when she heard this, and her silver teeth were about to be crushed. She was determined to think that Lu Qingyi was a fox. Jin Zhaohou's land is on the bank of the Lishui River, she doesn't believe that Lu Qingyi, who grew up on the riverside, doesn't know water, and most of the falling into the water is just self-directed and self-acting. And the matter of helping the wind is better explained, and it is not so good to be attentive in order to achieve the goal.
Seeing the disgust in Mrs. Yu's eyes, the mandarin duck had no choice but to remain silent. She didn't think there was anything wrong with Lu Qingyi, but helped the wind to break the siege, and it didn't seem to be a ruthless character.
Mrs. Yu saw that it was useless to say anything to Duanyue, so she had to slap the table angrily and stand up. "I can't help it, so I'm going to talk to the wind. But you must not fall into Meng Chunqian's way! ā
With that, she flicked her wide sleeves, and the pleated skirt under her turned into a circle as soon as she turned around. The mandarin duck frowned and hurriedly chased out with an "oops", how could Duanyue sit safely, she also hurriedly stood up and ran out of the door.
Mrs. Yu lifted her skirt violently, walked out quickly, and before she reached the room of the storm, she stopped her steps, and this sudden made the mandarin duck and Duanyue chasing behind her too late to stop, and almost fell to the ground. Before they could figure out the situation, they heard a light laugh from beside them.
Duanyue poked her head out, and it turned out to be Princess Sheng An walking from a distance. Duanyue guessed that she had just come out of the wind and happened to bump into Mrs. Yu and her party.
She wears a fuchsia dress and embroidered with fluttering butterflies, which has the dignity and wealth of a middle-aged woman but also loses her playful vitality. Princess Sheng'an's delicate makeup and graceful jewelry, to say that the lady in the palace is not so beautiful. In such a comparison, Mrs. Yu, who was dressed in plain color, was compared to the real one.
"When I had lunch today, the chopsticks fell to the ground, and the palace said that an old man came." Princess Sheng An shook the fan in her hand and looked at Mrs. Yu with a smile. "Lan Ze, it seems like we haven't seen each other for more than ten years, right? But even if we do, you don't bother to talk to me. ā
Mrs. Yu half-squinted her eyes and snorted coldly. "You are the high-ranking princess of Sheng'an, and I am just the wife of an ordinary minister, how dare I talk to you. Besides, the emperor has not summoned you, and you can't come to Chang'an, so how can we have a chance to meet? She did not hide the disgust and disdain in her tone, if the tone could be turned into a real thing, I was afraid that Mrs. Yu's words would be fatal.
However, Princess Sheng An seemed to have expected that Mrs. Yu would be like this, and she didn't take it to heart, but a faint smile rose at the corner of her mouth, such an approachable appearance, but it seemed that Mrs. Yu was scathing.
"Yes, it's hard for me to return to Beijing after living in Lishui for a long time, and I can't come to see you when you get married, which really makes me feel guilty for many years." She looked at the mandarin duck standing beside Mrs. Yu and asked softly. "I live in the mansion, and I heard that Lan Ze has a daughter, it must be you, right?"
Princess Sheng An looked the mandarin duck up and down meaningfully, and suddenly smiled dumbly. "Oh, I'm afraid your father is going to be happy when he sees you! I didn't inherit any of your appearance from your mother, I guess it's all like your father, right? ā
If you don't know the reason for this, I'm afraid you just think it's a joke from Princess Sheng An. But Duanyue listened to her smiling words, and her face turned white all of a sudden. She looked at the mandarin duck in fear, it seemed that she didn't react to Princess Sheng An's words. On the contrary, Mrs. Yu was sensitive, and she immediately understood that Princess Sheng An was ironizing that the mandarin duck was not Mrs. Yu's own daughter.
"The princess said and laughed, but the mandarin duck thought it was good to look like a mother, gentle and delicate." The mandarin duck lowered her head and timidly replied to Princess Sheng'an.
Seeing that she didn't understand what she meant, Princess Sheng An also felt bored. Her pair of apricot eyes swept sharply towards Mrs. Yu, without half emotion. And Mrs. Yu was not to be outdone, she glared back. The two of them are characters with heads and faces, but now they are staring at each other like children, and the picture is really weird.
After about a quarter of an hour, Princess Sheng An let out a short sigh. "Lan Ze, you've always looked at me like this since you were young, do you really hate me that much?"
"Hmph, you know it yourself." Mrs. Yu sneered. "You still don't give up after you have plagued Brother Shen, do you still want to continue to plague the storm?"
"What you're saying is so hurtful." Princess Sheng An lowered her eyes, looking aggrieved. "The Past...... The past is also in the past, and there is no need to mention it again. But in the matter of Qingyi and the wind, I am just helping, and the real people who call the shots are those two young people. ā
"You don't have to pretend anymore. Meng Chunqian, let me tell you, I don't believe every word of yours. I'm going to find the wind right now and ask him to draw a line with you! After that, he walked away quickly, and when he rubbed shoulders with Princess Sheng'an, he bumped into her very childishly, causing Princess Sheng'an to stumble.
Mandarin Yuan didn't understand why her mother was so reckless, so she had to bow her head and apologize to Princess Sheng An in shame, and then left with Duanyue in a hurry to catch up with Mrs. Yu.
"Which lady is this, why is she so reckless!" The maid beside Princess Sheng An hurriedly supported her in a trance, otherwise she would definitely fall.
The maid complained to Princess Sheng An in a disgusted tone, but Princess Sheng An just shook her head and did not speak.
She didn't expect that after so many years, there were still people who were haunted by the events of that year. She didn't expect that after all these years, Xu Lanze still couldn't let go of that Shen Changfeng in her heart.
