199 Broken Foot
Su Qi stood up as soon as she "Teng", and she rushed out directly, completely ignoring Qi Ling's worried call behind her.
Now she just wants to find Ah Qin immediately, ask him personally, and let him tell herself that this is not true, what Qi Ling said is not true, it is Qi Ling's girl who made up a lie to make fun of herself.
She must listen to Aqin in person!
But she rushed out and saw the crowd gathered outside the door, looking at her in twos and threes, Su Qi swept her eyes and saw that there was no Murong Qin, and ran directly through the crowd.
Behind her, the lady's delicate surprise sounded, and then Wang Erniang's sharp voice came, "Didn't Su Qi break his foot?" How can you run so fast? β
"Did you really break your foot, or did you pretend to be sickβ"
The crowd exploded!
But Su Qi had already run away.
Jiuqu winding Lake Center Pavilion, Su Qi found Murong Qin, and Mu Jiu was by his side.
"Qi Niang, are you better?" Mu Jiu was surprised and delighted and asked, "Your Majesty doesn't allow us to disturb, I've been worried, yesterday my grandfather asked me to bring some medicine for bruises, saying that when his old man was walking in the rivers and lakes, some friends who fell on it gave it, and the treatment of these accidental injuries has the best effect, I have given it to Granny Chensu, have you used it?" But it feels better, if you run out of it, just ask me, I'm ......"
"Mu Jiu, go down!"
Su Qi said coldly.
She hadn't even glanced at Mu Jiu's girl, and since she entered this Lake Pavilion, there was no room for anyone else in her eyes.
Mu Jiu was interrupted in vain, and his face turned red with shame for a while. Looking at Su Qi's cold complexion and feeling a little timid, she has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, and has never been involved in right and wrong, although she is curious about what happened between Su Qi and Prince Murong Qin, but her education since childhood told her that she could not inquire at will, yes, Mu Jiu quietly left when she heard the words.
Murong Qin put his hands behind his back, looked at the surface of the lake like a mirror, and did not make a sound.
The sun has begun to set in the west, but the summer sun is still dazzling. Su Qi looked at Murong Qin's sparkling waves hidden behind him. For a while, my eyes were swollen and painful, and tears couldn't stop falling.
She said, "Ah Qin, have you decided?" β
He didn't ask why, and he didn't justify what had happened. Instead, he asked Murong Qin if he had decided.
Because Su Qi knows. In the face of powerful facts. No amount of justification or questioning is meaningless.
All she wants to know is whether Ah Qi's Ah Qin has decided to marry another lady!
Murong Qin turned around, and there was a faint sadness on Yuguan's face. He said, "Ah Qi, there is something ...... It's not for Achin to decide. β
Su Qi asked, "So...... Achin agreed? β
Murong Qin was stunned, but finally nodded.
Yes, he agreed, there is nothing wrong with Mu Jiu, and the Mu family will be of much benefit to him in the future, and marrying Mu Jiu is like a tiger for him Murong Qin.
It's just that now I don't have Mu Jiu in my heart.
Grandmother said that marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person is just a matter of getting along day and night, and it will gradually come naturally in the future.
So, he nodded.
At that time, the mother concubine loved her father so much, but in the end she didn't die at the hands of her beloved, he Murong Qin didn't want such heart-rending love, he Murong Qin only needed one who could spend money for her, be able to handle housework, and be able to help his wife, Mu Jiu was the best candidate in any aspect, and grandmother was not wrong!
"Ah Qi, you and I are fated to be inseparable, and the grievances of the previous generation should not be counted on you and me, but the world's eyes are always so prejudiced, you and I ...... It was fruitless! β
"I'm Murong Qin...... Thank you for your care during this time, I can distinguish the right and wrong of the grievances, and I can carry them clearly, Ah Qi, you can rest assured. β
"Returning to the imperial capital is the most important thing for me, Ah Qi and I will re-investigate the old case sooner or later, so the support of the Mu Mansion is very important to me!"
"Ah Qi, perhaps...... Xuanwu Yicheng is the right ......"
Su Qi smiled when he heard this, "Could it be that after a while, Prince Murong Qin will say that the six princes of Beiyi are also suitable for me?" β
"I want to ask, marrying is an exchange of benefits for you?"
"What's not right? Could it be that marrying one and marrying the other is as simple as selling shoes and wearing them in your Murong Qin's eyes, what fits is good shoes, and what doesn't fit is bad shoes? β
"It seems that I, Su Qi, never said that I want to marry you, Murong Qin, so how can you be qualified to say what Fang Cai said?"
ββ¦β¦ It's kind of a ...... for nothing."
After speaking, Su Qi strode out, his back straight, his hands clenched into fists, and he clenched them together, for fear that he would fall down as soon as he loosened.
Behind him, in the Huxin Pavilion, Murong Qin was dressed in white, and his gaze never shifted, but he never moved a step from beginning to end.
His hands behind his back trembled slightly, and his chest rose and fell, but he ...... Still held back.
Many years later, when he revisited the old place, Murong Qin, who was noble at that time, looked at the lake at dusk, his chest would always rise and fall inexplicably, he would always take a breath, and then sigh.
It's a pity that I was young at that time......
So, I don't know how to cherish it......
In the main hall of the West Straight Palace, the atmosphere is tense.
The Empress Dowager said coldly: "If the mourning family is not mistaken, today is the third day of the Five Kingdoms Pilgrimage, the emperor is not in the palace to look at the national letters inherited by the envoys of various countries, what is the so-called matter when he comes to the west of the mourning family?" β
"When the sun is the hottest in the summer afternoon, the emperor doesn't know how to cherish himself, and the people around him are blind, and he doesn't know what is the use of admonishing Your Majesty, mourning your family and keeping you!"
"Someoneβ"
Bi Fuquan immediately knelt down as a eunuch and begged for mercy one by one: "The Queen Mother forgives her sins, the Queen Mother forgives her sins!" β
Emperor Rende waved his hand and said with a smile: "The son knows that he is wrong, and the son knows that he is wrong, and he hopes that his mother will be angry." β
"These slaves are just looking at their son's face, and it is the son who wants to come over and take a look because he is not at ease, disturbing his mother's Yaxing. The son was reckless. β
The Queen Mother's face turned slightly pale when she heard this, "Do you also know about the abruptness?" The mourning family invited most of the noble ladies in the imperial capital to come to enjoy the flowers and drink, how can you not scare them when you come so silently? β
Emperor Rende nodded in response: "Mother is right, son remembers." β
"It's just that I don't know these envoys of the five countries? I also thought that they were all recuperating in the inn, and I also thought that I would invite them to have a cup of tea, but fortunately, I was temporarily surprised by my mother's opinion, otherwise I was afraid that there would be some jokes. β
The Queen Mother pursed her lips disapprerovingly.
What's the matter, if your emperor Laer summons these envoys to drink tea, even if they are summoned, is it possible that her queen mother's wife will still stop her? It's just going straight from the west to the palace. What kind of jokes will come out?
Make matters worse by attempting a coverup. It's just that her wife has other important things to do today, so she won't discuss it with the emperor.
The Queen Mother said lightly: "The emperor has watched the mourning family grow up since childhood, knowing the son Mo Ruomu, the emperor is naturally clear about what the mourning family is." You can rest assured. The mourning family summoned these ladies to come just to enjoy the flowers and celebrate the Chinese Valentine's Day. It just so happened that the envoys of the Five Kingdoms were in the imperial capital, and they had the heart of adult beauty, if they could have a few more beautiful things today. Why not mourn the family? β
"What's more, some time ago, the emperor suddenly changed his mind and canceled the draft, the triennial draft is a rule set by the ancestors, one is to fill the harem for the royal branch, and the other is not without the heart of winning over the ministers, the emperor insisted on this, and the mourning family did not say much, but did not want to come to the election The show girls are all official ladies in various states and counties, and the emperor has not landed so far, the emperor is not in a hurry, but the mourning family is in a hurry, if it causes some resentment, how can it be good?"
"Yes, there is the heart of the beauty of today's adults, doesn't the emperor even have to interfere with this?"
When it came to this, she didn't believe that the emperor would be tough against her queen mother, anyway, today she was going to point out the marriage of Su Qi anyway, even if the emperor was saddled with the name of unfilial piety!
Emperor Rende laughed when he heard this, and said: "What did the mother say, it is that the son is not filial, and the mother is so old that you still have to bother to be considerate for the son, and the son is ashamed." β
Hearing this, the Queen Mother's heart was somewhat relieved, and the mother and son said a lot of thoughtful words.
The emperor is not the queen mother herself, although she was born to the queen mother's own sister, but in the end it did not come out of her own belly, not to mention that people's hearts are still separated from the belly, over the years, although the emperor has a lot of respect for her nominal mother, but the shrewd person like the queen mother still tasted perfunctory, especially in the past two years, the emperor's wings have hardened, and it has become a situation to Shouren Palace, and the queen mother is also a smart person, knowing that some things cannot be forced, so he also relaxes his mind and closes his eyes to finish things.
It's the first time that the two of them have spoken considerably behind closed doors like this.
The Queen Mother's heart became more and more happy.
When people are old, it is a very happy thing to be able to get the sincere respect of the younger generations.
So while chatting, she took the initiative to tell the emperor about Murong Qin's engagement to Mu Jiu.
ββ¦β¦ Since childhood, Qin'er and Jiu'er have gotten along, the mourning family still remembers that Xuan'er just entered the palace at that time, but she is a little doll who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and her temper is also the largest, Jiu'er is timid and will always be caught and bullied by Xuan'er, Qin'er will always stand up when she sees it, then your aunt will laugh with the mourning family, saying that these two children are afraid that they are fate, and the mourning family thinks that the children are still young, so they listen to it as a joke. β
"Your uncle Cen Zhou's language attack or Qin'er stepped forward to block an arrow, the child is honest, and he didn't go back to the imperial capital to go to your uncle's turn, or your uncle knew that the child played a good chess game so he called him to Ziyun Mountain Stream to live for a few days, I don't want your uncle to invite me two days ago, and he praised Qin'er when he opened and closed his mouth, and then suddenly he talked about the things when the children were young, and the mourning family remembered ......"
"In a blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and now these two children have grown up, the mourning family thinks that Qin'er has a quiet temperament, Jiu'er has a soft temperament, and the two are quite old and beautiful, how to look at this family affair and how appropriate, your uncle is even more openly and secretly agreeing, it is because the mourning family wants to call these two children to the west of the mourning family, if they are satisfied with each other, the mourning family is also at ease......"
"Qin'er is now back in the imperial capital, even if the emperor doesn't like it, he should let the child get married and start a family, his body has been poisoned since he was a child, and the heirs don't know what will happen in the future, so the mourning family thinks that they have to do it quickly, the emperor. What do you think? β
However, there was no response.
The Xizhimen hall is quiet and quiet, and the sunlight at dusk penetrates through the cracks in the carved golden silk nanmu windows.
Some things, if they can't be explained, can only be figured out by the emperor himself.
What was the truth back then, the emperor couldn't be clearer in his own heart, and it was said that he was angry with Qin'er all these years. But as a mother, she knew it wasn't.
The emperor is clear from wrong. If it weren't for the last resort, he wouldn't have made such a thunderous move, Qin'er was only a seven-year-old child, not to mention participating in that ugly thing, I was afraid that he didn't know about it. These are what she can think of as an old woman in the harem. How could the emperor not have imagined?
It just takes time to calm down and clear your mind. It takes time for himself to be at ease, even if he is the Emperor.
Now. Time's up.
Emperor Rende sighed.
heavy, long sigh, listening to the Queen Mother's eyes red.
With this sigh, her wife and son have waited for twelve years, and Qin'er has avoided it for twelve years!
"What my mother said is that Qin'er's child is good, and he will stay in the imperial capital when he becomes a family in the future, and it is also a bitter ...... to run around."
The Queen Mother choked and nodded.
So she immediately asked Bi Fuquan to take the ink treasure, and Emperor Rende personally wrote down the holy decree.
Well, the first thing is finally done.
The Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction, and the next thing should be Xuan'er's child's marriage.
However, before her old man could speak, there was a sound of rustling outside, and then the voice of Mama Yu asking for instructions came outside,
ββ¦β¦ It's dinner time, and the old slave comes to ask if the banquet will be held on time? β
The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Rende, and the Emperor Lao'er smiled and said, "I heard that there is an elegant event of enjoying the moon and visiting the garden in the evening, so I can't delay it." β
So, the Queen Mother was supported by the emperor and went to the front hall with a smile.
During the banquet, Su Qi sat in the middle and back seats, and Qi Ling insisted on accompanying him.
Su Qishi didn't know the taste, but drank the wine on the table happily, and the Queen Mother ordered tonight, the festival is rare, and everyone doesn't need to scruple about it, it is not easy to say even a word of consolation to Qi Ling.
Towards the end of dinner, the Queen Mother smiled and personally announced the happy event of Murong Qin and Mu Jiuding's marriage, so there were rounds of joyful voices one after another.
Su Qi continued to drink as if he hadn't heard it.
Qi Ling was so anxious that he sighed while grabbing a wine jug and filling it.
But the Queen Mother waited left and right and still didn't see anyone come to ask for instructions, she glanced at the Beiyi Mission, the legendary Six Princes of Beiyi was raising their glasses and drinking, as if nothing else had happened today, the Queen Mother was anxious for a while.
I said it in private, but I didn't want the sixth prince of Beiyi to change his rhetoric halfway, what is Su Qiwei's foot, so that she can't get up now, and her wife has no bottom in her heart for a while.
During the banquet, Yan Yan smiled and was happy.
Wang Erniang sat in the corner, but her heart became more and more uncomfortable.
Since the aunt in the palace was demoted and won the title, and then the uncle was reprimanded by His Majesty, and the grandmother was also mentioned by the Queen Mother, for a time their imperial capital palace suddenly became a joke.
I heard that the Queen Mother went to the General's Mansion again and again during this period of time, and was coaxed by Su Qi's girl, not to mention the county lord of Qiling, who was with Su Qi for almost half of the time, and she felt even more uncomfortable.
When their palace was in trouble, the general's mansion on Su Qi's side was full of flowers, speaking of which, the aunt in the palace committed the crime not because of her Su Qi, their palace was laughed at by the nobles of the imperial capital and it was not her Su Qi who caused the trouble, why was their palace punished and in trouble, but Su Qi's girl was safe and sound, and she won the favor of the queen mother more and more?
She Wang Erniang is not convinced!
Yes, she Wang Liu will not let go of any opportunity to trample on Su Qi!
After she got up and saluted, she said with a smile: "In the afternoon, I heard that Su Qi's sister was broken, and as a sister, I was very worried, so I went to visit with a few sisters in the imperial capital, but Your Majesty has a decree not to enter and disturb at will, Wang Liu, who is a sister, is really not at ease, so I waited outside Su Qi's sister's room, thinking that if my sister wants to eat something, I, as a sister, can also help run errands, do my best!" β
"I didn't want to, I waited and waited but saw an interesting scene, Sister Su Qi ran out by herself. I was in a hurry, didn't Sister Su Qi just break her foot, how could she move around so casually, let alone run, so she stepped forward with the county lord of Qiling to stop it, not wanting her sister to have a lot of strength, so she pushed me away and ran out directly. β
"I saw that the step was so big, and my sister was so neat even if she ran, it didn't look like she had broken her foot. However, I still can't rest assured in my heart after all. That's how I asked. β
When the words fell, the corners of the Queen Mother's eyes flashed.
The emperor lived up to his wishes, and finally someone stood up, although it was not the original plan for the six princes of Beiyi to come forward to ask for marriage. But Wang Erniang's words were prickly provocative. Also in place.
The Queen Mother glanced at Su Qi, who was drinking alone in the middle of the banquet. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and he nodded with a smile and said, "You kid has a heart, and the mourning family is also curious when he hears it." I don't know if the seven girls of the Su family are better now? β
Su Qi was still pulled up by Qi Ling, she was already half drunk and disheartened, knowing that this was the Queen Mother who was coming to grab her pigtails, she smiled, nodded and shook her head.
Emperor Rende was confused.
The Queen Mother frowned, but then the words she asked became majestic, "What do you mean by this?" Is it good or not? The imperial doctor is just pierced with a silver needle, and you can run and walk, but the mourning family wants to know, is your girl broken? β
As soon as these words came out, Qi Ling immediately stood up, and she said firmly: "Imperial grandmother, Su Qi is broken, or Qi Ling gives her a good breath, you know that Su Qi is the most pure, how can she deceive you?" β
The Queen Mother waved her hand, "In this matter, Qi Ling, you don't need to intervene, it is Su Qi who is asking her for the mourning family." β
With an unchallengeable strength in his words, it was the first time for Qi Ling to hear the charity of the imperial grandmother say so sharply to himself, and he was stunned for a while.
The Queen Mother turned to Su Qi and said coldly: "Su Qi, do you say it or not?" β
Su Qi poured a sip of wine, staggered to the hall, and then laughed, she said: "What answer does the Queen Mother want, it is like this, I am forced to ask me through the mouth of Wang Erniang, Su Qi is unhappy today, and I am afraid that I will not be able to give the answer that the Queen Mother wants!" β
As he spoke, Su Qi took another sip of wine.
It is sweet, with a faint floral fragrance, and the taste is very good, although it is not as mellow as the pear blossom white, but it is also a good wine.
"Presumptuous!"
The Queen Mother slapped her hard and said sharply: "Su Qi is bold and reckless, the mourning family sees that you are now walking freely, how can you ever have a trace of stumbling, it must be your girl who is trying to deceive the mourning family and the emperor, so bold, do you know the crime of bullying the king?" β
At this moment, Emperor Rende also saw the clue, he hurriedly said: "I don't know the origin of the matter, Su Qi Niangzi is in a coma, I have seen it with my own eyes, the West Zhixing Palace is big, and it is inevitable that the ladies will accidentally break their feet for a while. β
But how could the Queen Mother miss the opportunity to get it.
She raised her voice and said: "Emperor, if the mourning family is not mistaken, at that time, the seventh lady of the Su family was being held by the six princes of Beiyi, our Dayue country has rules, men and women are not at the same table at the age of six, if this Su Qiwei's feet are just a pretext, then the six princes of Beiyi have to give an explanation. β
The last words, with complete severity!
In the crowd, Xuanwu Yicheng smiled bitterly, it was time to come after all!
Su Qi also suddenly realized, it turned out that the Queen Mother was making such an calculation, no wonder she would make such a fuss!
She said casually: "Since the Queen Mother is deceived by me Su Qi when she opens and closes her mouth, then please ask Your Majesty and the Queen Mother to ask the six princes of Beiyi!" β
The matter of the broken foot was originally caused by that beautiful man2, and now that it has reached this juncture, there is no reason for her Su Qi to come out alone to withstand the wind and waves.
Didn't that beautiful man say that he didn't like women, wasn't he making up a lie?
It's up to him to cope.
Hearing this, Xuanwu Yicheng also glanced at the white-clothed six princes of Beiyi, and his heart became relieved.
The chips he gave before were already very rich, and I don't think he would be unsatisfied.
What's more, it is rumored that he still doesn't like women, so he won't have any thoughts about Su Qi in the future.
Xuanwu Yicheng leisurely tasted the wine.
"The Queen Mother's eyes are wise, this lady of the Su family really has no feet!"
When the words fell, the banquet suddenly exploded.
Su Qi was stunned for a moment, and then drank the wine without changing his face.
Now that she has come to this point, she still has nothing to think about, but she is just taking one step at a time.
Xuanwu Yicheng landed with a bang of the blue marigold "bell" in his hand, but fortunately, at this moment, there was a lot of discussion among everyone, and this sound was not enough to attract attention.
The sixth prince of Beiyi smiled and continued: "Su Qi Niangzi was in a coma in the bamboo forest, this prince happened to pass by, and he kindly brought the lady back under the pity of the fragrance and jade, the bamboo forest is remote and difficult to find, and there are mostly uneven stones during the period, this prince is speculating that this Su family lady has broken his foot, and he doesn't want to make a joke." β
"The Queen Mother of the Great Yue Kingdom is really true, and such trivial things are also to the bottom of the matter, interesting!"
Hearing the end, the Queen Mother darkened her face.
She said: "The sixth prince may not know, the identity of the lady of the Su family is unusual, she is the daughter of General Changfeng, and the mourning family naturally values it more, not to mention that the sixth prince is so openly hugging my Dayue lady in broad daylight, can't the mourning family be the queen mother?" β
"The six princes, don't forget, this is Da Yue, all customs should be according to the rules of our Da Yue, how can you let the behavior of the wild land mess up my Da Yue's rules?"
Hearing this, the corners of Qi Niang's mouth raised slightly, very good, and successfully transferred her feet to the etiquette and customs between countries, but the Queen Mother, your husband said such a thing as a wild land in front of the six princes of Beiyi, is it really good?
The envoys of the five countries are here, are you sure you didn't mean to cause public outrage?
Okay, she Su Qike can't worry about this kind of big thing, the old emperor Rende is here, she is a little girl, what's the hurry, just watch the show.
Su Qi was in a slightly better mood, and then poured a sip of wine. (To be continued.) )
