Chapter 37: An Unexpected Attitude
"Grandmother knows, she knows."
The Queen Mother didn't blame Sikong Cangling in the slightest, only full of distress, she understood Sikong Cangling's helplessness. It's just that at this age, she wants her grandchildren to go around her knees, but her identity makes her incapable of realizing this wish. With so many grandchildren and daughters, Sikong Cangling is one of the few people who really cares about himself as an old woman.
"Queen Mother, Lord Wang, he misses you very much, but there are always a lot of people in this position who can't help themselves."
At this time, Xiao Xueqing spoke out at the right time to say a word for Sikong Cangling. Luo Xue's lips hooked slightly, this Xiao Xueqing will choose the time, if she takes the time to say good things to please the Queen Mother, it is better to show her concern and understanding for Sikong Cangling in a timely manner, the Queen Mother has not heard anything good, and it is not as good as hearing the words about her favorite grandson. Besides, Xiao Xueqing is also a smart person, two sentences, not only show Sikong Cangling's concern for the Queen Mother, but also show the distress of her husband as a wife.
Sure enough, when the Queen Mother heard this, her eyes once again showed her distress for Sikong Cangling, and then she smiled slightly at Xiao Xueqing, "The mourning family understands Ling'er's difficulties, Xueqing has worked hard." ”
Listening to the Queen Mother's self-proclaimed in front of Xiao Xueqing, I knew that the Queen Mother was not as close to Xiao Xueqing as she was to Sikong Cangling, but also, after all, Sikong Cangling was the relative in the eyes of the Queen Mother. Xiao Xueqing also knew this, so she didn't think there was anything wrong.
Xiao Xueqing smiled generously and elegantly, "The prince is the husband of the concubine, and in the eyes of the concubine, the prince is the heaven of the concubine, and the concubine is willing to pay for the prince." This is a bit explicit, so even Xiao Xueqing, who is used to seeing big scenes, can't help but blush a little, revealing a trace of little woman's feelings.
However, someone doesn't seem to appreciate it very much.
Sikong Cangling listened to her words, his face was still pale, his expression did not change because of Xiao Xueqing's words, and his eyes did not even fluctuate, nor did he want to turn his head to look at his wife, who was being shy.
Moreover, he stretched out his hand to take over the hand that Mama Xu was holding the Queen Mother, and his tone was rare and gentle, "Grandmother, sit down first!" Don't get tired. ”
The Queen Mother didn't notice that there was anything wrong with this, and when she heard that her grandson cared about her, all her thoughts were immersed in joy, and she nodded happily at the moment, but she still pretended to be angry and said: "How can you talk like a child, your grandmother and I are tough, I could lead the army to fight on the battlefield back then, how could I be tired just because I stood for a while." ”
Sikong Cangling smiled and shook his head, it was rare that grandmother also had such a childish side, so if she didn't object to her, it would be good if she could make her happy.
Luo Xue inadvertently looked up, and saw Xiao Xueqing's stunned face after seeing Sikong Cangling's performance, and a trace of sadness that could not be concealed, but it was only in an instant, and she returned to the generous, decent, elegant and noble Princess Cang. Luo Xue couldn't help but sigh for her in her heart, worthy of Xiao Xueqing.
The Queen Mother, supported by Sikong Cangling, walked to the right position, and was just about to sit down, but paused, looked at Sikong Cangling and asked, "By the way, didn't Xiaoxue follow you to the banquet?" Where is she? ”
"Xiaoxue?" Sikong Cangling asked suspiciously, he really didn't know who the person who made the Queen Mother call so affectionately.
"What do you mean by Xiaoxue?"
The Queen Mother frowned, "It's your side concubine Luo Xue, what about her?" Saying that, he turned to look at Luo Xue, and the moment he saw Luo Xue, he felt a little emotional, and before he knew it, this little girl had grown up like this.
Luo Xue was still immersed in her own thoughts, lowering her head slightly, completely unaware that the eyes of the entire room were now focused on her.
At this moment, she is like a silent elf escaping from the forest, her stomach is immersed in her own world, thinking about everything that others don't know, she is so beautiful, wearing a light blue dress that reaches the ground, slim, unassuming, but can easily attract people's attention. She stood indifferently in place, not noticing others at all, like an orchid, unstained by the world, proud of the world.
Sikong Cangling followed the Queen Mother's gaze, and then saw Luo Xue, who had been ignoring since he entered the palace, standing quietly in place. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes again, but in an instant, he was not a person who paid attention to beauty, and his brow was slightly slightly frowned. When did she change her outfit? There was no maid entourage, and she had been following her, and she had only been on the way up in the carriage when she was alone, and she had made this costume herself!
Why would she do it? The moment she went out, she was dressed up noble and prosperous, which made people mistakenly think that she would be the kind of woman who was domineering and sensational, but when people didn't pay attention, she put on a light and elegant makeup, which made people feel that she was like a fairy who accidentally fell into the mortal dust in the sky, and couldn't help but be fascinated by her beauty.
If she is trying to create that contrast between prosperity and elegance to others, in order to reduce the attention of others, then it is very successful, and she wins. However, such scheming is too deep, perhaps, in fact, she knew the temperament of the Queen Mother from the beginning.
Xiao Xueqing only noticed such a fresh Luo Xue at this time, without the complicated makeup at the beginning, if she made people have a noble and unattainable at the beginning, then now she has a clean and undesecrated appearance. She was a little shocked by Luo Xue's change, and more angry, the intense anger almost broke through the calm wall she had built for herself, and she almost wanted to grit a mouthful of silver teeth in anger.
Now Xiao Xueqing has only one thought in her heart, that is, she was deceived by Luo Xue, it turned out that she was dressed so prosperous at the beginning to lower her guard, it seems that she underestimated this woman.
However, Xiao Xueqing is not an impulsive and stupid woman, and she quickly suppressed her anger, but she still had a cold light in her eyes. If she could, maybe she would be desperate to tear Luo Xue apart, but reality didn't allow her to do so. The corners of his mouth hooked up a cruel smile, obviously so elegant, but it made people can't help but feel cold and tremble.
If Luo Xue knew that in fact, Xiao Xueqing and Sikong Cangling had come up with so many twists and turns about an originally very simple matter, she would definitely not be able to help but smile and shake her head, to be honest, she really didn't think about it so much.
Luo Xue didn't know anything about what was happening in the outside world, and it wasn't until she remembered a kind, familiar and unfamiliar voice in her ears that she suddenly realized that everyone was looking at her meaninglessly.
"Light snow."
Hearing a voice in front of her, Luo Xue looked up in confusion, this voice was obviously the first time she heard it, but it made her feel inexplicably familiar, really, strangely.
It turned out that the Queen Mother, who was originally in the right position, didn't know when she had walked in front of her, with a strong love and warmth, just like she was her own relative, calling gently.
