It's just that when she didn't expect to arrive at Shouren Palace, she just opened her mouth and said that Su Qi entered the palace as the queen, and the empress dowager was silent.
Old Madam Su thought of the smile that the Empress Dowager couldn't hide when she saw her, and the praise of her granddaughter Qi Niang between her words, she looked at the silent face of the superior, and didn't know how to say the next words in her heart.
Under the holy decree, even if she is the emperor's grandmother, she will not change it easily.
"I bothered the Empress Dowager for most of the day, and it was getting late, so the old man took his leave first." Old Madam Su stood up and saluted.
The Empress Dowager laughed when she heard this, looked at the Western clock behind her, and said: "Look at the eyes of the mourning family, I didn't expect to talk so late with the Duchess of Guo, if it weren't for the reminder of the Duchess of Guo, I am afraid that the mourning family will soon forget the time." The Duchess has always been similar to the mourning family, and it is rare to enter the palace, and it is inconvenient for the mourning family to stay when it is late today, and I only hope that the Duchess will enter the palace more in the future to accompany the mourning family. ”
"Thanks to the love of the queen of heaven, as long as you don't dislike it, the old body will come often." Mrs. Su replied.
It's all kind words, just talk about it casually, the palace is a place, and it's good to come less if you can come less.
"That's it."
As he spoke, he motioned to the grandmother beside him to send off the guests.
Mrs. Su only followed Granny Wang, and went out of Shouren Palace to see the two red seals for the Ci Mama who came to send her, "It's a little meaning, I hope that Ci Mama and Yu Mama will smile." ”
Mama Ci didn't shirk it, and took it quietly.
Refusing to send Mama Ci to the gate of the palace, Mrs. Su took Mrs. Wang to turn around and head towards the imperial study.
Murong Qin was watching the recital. When I heard that Mrs. Su was coming, I thought I had heard it wrong for a while.
After the attendants dispersed and closed the door, Murong Qin put down Zhu Pi's imperial pen unhurriedly.
Seeing the opportunity, Mrs. Su also put down the dragon and phoenix golden teacup in her hand.
"The old body came uninvited today to ask for something."
Murong Qin didn't make a sound, looking like he was listening.
"Your Majesty likes the granddaughter of the old family, it is the honor of the general's mansion, the old body should be very happy, but some time ago the old body went to pray for Qi Niang to ask for a signature, but the abbot who released the sign said that Qi Niang's fate was bumpy, if it was married to an ordinary family in the future, it would be fine, not to mention the wealth. At least I can live in peace. If so, if you marry into the emperor's family, it is ...... Death and life are unpredictable! ”
"The old man heard that these days were difficult to sleep and eat day and night, and thought that His Majesty was a benevolent saint. I want to ask Your Majesty. Can you ......?"
"Duchess of the Kingdom. Jun Wu joked about these four words, I don't know if the old lady has heard them? ”
Before Old Madam Su could finish speaking, she was interrupted.
If it's cold, there's no mud or water.
Although Mrs. Su had already been mentally prepared. But hearing such direct words, my heart still couldn't stop trembling.
She nodded slightly.
"In this case, the old lady should know that the seventh lady of the Su family is the queen selected by my own holy decree, and when she is married, she will marry into the palace as the queen of my Dayue Kingdom. What the Duchess said today, I really don't understand. ”
Old Madam Su gritted her teeth, she couldn't be clearer about what happened, if it weren't for you Murong Qin using the life of Xuanwu Yicheng to persecute Qi Niang, how could Qi Niang nod, but now she is pretending to be a hypocrite.
Old Madam Su stood up suddenly.
"What is the real situation of this matter, the old body will not say much to His Majesty today. If Qi Niang is happily married to His Majesty, I, as a grandmother, naturally have nothing to say, but since Qi Niang is persecuted, then I can't blame this old woman for coming to the imperial study today to disturb Your Majesty! ”
"The saint: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you! Thinking about it, Your Majesty should understand, Qi Niang is unwilling to enter the palace, whether it is facing the former emperor or the current Majesty, it is the same! If it is said that His Majesty and Qi Niang had a close relationship in the past, it is also the friendship between ordinary friends, and there is no slightest love between men and women between Qi Niang and His Majesty, not to mention that after entering the palace, what kind of situation will he face in the future, what kind of life will he live, His Majesty lived in the palace in his early years, it should be the most clear! ”
"The old man came here, just for one thing, and asked His Majesty to raise the platform and let go of my family's Qiniang!"
When Murong Qin heard this, he sneered.
"I'm still a sentence, you don't have any jokes, the Duchess of the Kingdom should understand."
To this day, I came to tell me that I don't want to marry, I don't want to enter the palace, no matter if you have a thousand reasons or ten thousand reasons in the general's mansion, you have to marry if you don't marry!
Murong Qin's heart couldn't help but become angry.
The confrontation continued, and the decision in Old Madam Su's heart became more and more firm: with a person like Murong Qin, she couldn't let Qi Niang marry in!
"Your Majesty, haven't you forgotten, Su Qi is in this world, what he hears the most is what the old body said as a grandmother, the old body thinks that if he fights with his life, Qi Niang, who wants to come to our general's mansion, should agree."
"Your Majesty's holy decree has been issued, and the old body is helpless, but if this matter is spread to the court, to the people, or even to the southwest border accidentally, I don't know what the mighty and martial General Ji Yu will think."
"Your Majesty, it's getting late, and the old body just thanked the Empress Dowager for coming out, and Qi Niang is still waiting for the news of the old body in the house, and the old body will leave first."
After speaking, Old Madam Su didn't care about the young emperor's answer in front of her, and directly pushed open the black lacquered dragon and phoenix gold wire door of the imperial study, and walked out high-spirited.
As dusk approached, only six oil lamps were lit in the imperial study, and the light inside became dimmer and dimmer.
Shao Gong walked in quietly.
"You heard what you just said." Murong Qin asked with his eyes closed.
I didn't expect that the Duchess of Guo, who often looked weak, was so strong, the last time she was so aggressive to him was in Cen Zhou, I knew that Su Qi was stupid when Su Sanniang was stupid, but now it is for the sake of marrying him.
Could it be that in the eyes of this old lady, even if he Murong Qin sat on the throne of the emperor, he was so bad, or did Su Qi find it unbearable to marry someone like him. He didn't hesitate to let his grandmother give up face and risk entering the palace?
Murong Qin didn't know what it was like in his heart, and it was difficult to explain it for a while.
"The Duchess of the Kingdom loves her son very much, and Your Majesty can't help but guard against it." Shao Gongdao.
If His Majesty imprisoned His Royal Highness King Xuan and forced Su Qi Niangzi to enter the palace for the future, especially in the ears of General Ji Yu in the southwest, I don't know if the upright General Ji Yu will rise up directly, not to mention the 200,000 'winning army' in hand, even if they are far away in the imperial capital, they have to guard against it.
It would be nice if Su Qi Niangzi could be included in the palace as soon as possible.
Come to think of this. Shao Gong's heart moved.
"Your Majesty. Although the ancestors stipulated that women who have not yet reached the age of marriage are not allowed to marry, there is no strict rule that they cannot be married first. ”
Murong Qin opened his eyes, frowned, and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Shao Gong said vigorously, "Women who have not yet reached the age of marriage are not allowed to marry old slaves, and they have been questioned." On the continent of five continents. Xuanwu Beiyi has never had such a provision. Needless to say, even the South China Sea, which has always had the most important rules, has never existed, and the old slave thought that since this rule was only set by our Dayue country. Now that you are Your Majesty, the rules can naturally be changed, not to mention that the rules are that the dead are alive, even if Su Qi Niangzi has not yet married into the palace, but women value chastity the most, if it is, if His Majesty has a round with him as soon as possible, then how can he say that he will withdraw from marriage? ”
"Raw rice is cooked and cooked, and it will save you more daily dreams, Your Majesty."
When the words fell, Murong Qin's originally frowning brows had already relaxed.
But there is still hesitation in my heart.
If that woman is not Su Qi, not Ah Qi of Aqin, Shao Gong's idea is not bad. It's just that the woman is Ah Qi, and she is the Ah Qi that he values the most, how can he do this?
He also thought about going down with Su Qi in the future, thinking that Ah Qin could love and love Ah Qi and fly together.
"No, as a gentleman, how can I do such a shameful thing." Murong Qin refused.
Shao Gong frowned.
"What Your Majesty said is very true, but the old slave is in a hurry to get out of the way. This Duchess has such a stubborn temperament, if she is allowed to do evil, I am afraid that sooner or later it will ruin His Majesty's major affairs, and it would be better if she could get rid of it with one hand. ”
Murong Qin also pondered when he heard this.
If Su Qi lost his grandmother, although he would be sad for a while, but without this old guy who was always annoying by her side, maybe Su Qi would slowly accept him and be willing to enter the palace to be his queen.
What's more, Old Madam Su also knew about the 'Soul Devouring Introduction', and knew that the people in the General's Mansion were ordered by him to kill Su Qi, and it would be a scourge for such a person to stay by Su Qi and his side sooner or later, Shao Gong was right, Old Madam Su would do bad things sooner or later.
In this case, those who can't be left might as well start early!
Murong Qin closed his eyes.
"Lady, lady, the old slave has found you." Dusty was full of anxiety, and when he looked at Su Qi again, his complexion suddenly changed greatly, "But...... What happened? ”
Qi Ling also glanced at it, and his face couldn't help but turn red.
Now that Su Qiying's lips are red and swollen, her face is like a peach blossom, coupled with her messy hair and untidy clothes, it is no wonder that Granny Chensu saw the clues at a glance.
Qi Ling said: "Why don't you go and dress up your lady, and when the Queen Mother asks, is it possible for your lady to meet like this?" ”
There was a majesty and anxiety in his words.
The uneasiness in Chensu's heart was even stronger.
During this period of time, most of the county lords of Qiling were with the ladies in the general's mansion, and they were also kind to the subordinates who served the ladies closely, not to mention the punishment, even if they never said a heavy word.
Now it's such a rare tone.
Could it be that something really happened to the lady?
Chen's heart trembled, he couldn't care about anything else, and he half-helped the lady to hide in an empty room with the county lord of Qiling, and the county lord of Qiling sent someone to get water and fat powder for dressing, and after some manipulation, he finally couldn't see the clue.
After this toss, Su Qi finally woke up as if he had seen a cloud in his heart.
She took a breath and said, "I've been calculated. ”
Clear words, firm and serious eyes, Qi Ling didn't know what to say for a while.
Su Qi sighed and told what had just happened to him, how to discover the secret passage, how to enter, and then saw Xuanwu Yicheng, and then ...... She omitted. It was as if he was drunk, confused, but it was unusually hot, as if he was in a sea of fire, he didn't know where he was, he didn't know what he was doing, and then there was Qi Ling's scream......
She asked how Granny Chensu had found this place, and why she was so eager to find her.
Mother-in-law Chensu thought for a while and said, "The old slave has been guarding the lady's room, and suddenly a father-in-law came to report that the lady had broken her foot. I was in a hurry to find the old slave. I followed his guidance to find this ......."
Hearing this, Qi Ling also jumped up, she glared at Su Qi in disbelief, and then recalled with a frown: "...... The wine of daughter's love is said by Mama Yu. It is said that the yard is unknown to others. Brother Murong Qin must be able to find it...... also said that the Queen Mother's wine is unknown to outsiders...... I didn't understand it at the time. In a hurry, he only thought about going to Brother Murong Qin to help...... Then ......"
Mama Yu, isn't that the right-hand man by her side?
Su Qi sneered.
What a ploy!
It's just that I don't know how she Su Qi can do it, and she actually works with that person!
And then. She remembered the moment she broke free from Xuanwu Yicheng's embrace, and the cold and clear words, "Pretend to be sick and escape!" ”
Four words, very clear.
It seems that Xuanwu Yicheng should have known the truth early in the morning, just waiting for her Su Muli and Ah Qin to jump into the trap.
And she is stupid not pitiful, but pathetic......
Su Qi's expression froze, and he said coldly: "Let's go, we should also go to the Queen Mother to say hello!" ”
Any action must have a purpose, she doesn't believe that the Queen Mother's sophisticated plan is to separate her from Ah Qin, she must know the purpose, and only then will she know how to fight back.
So, there is no word for backing down!
It is even more impossible, pretend to be sick and flee!
Su Qi stood up suddenly, but stopped the moment he took his step.
Ah Qin's eyebrows flashed in his mind, still so handsome and noble, but his eyebrows were no longer light and light, and the smile was leisurely, but instead of shock and sadness......
The disappointed eyes shot straight like a sharp sword, and Su Qi's chest ached, and he stopped abruptly.
She hasn't found Ah Qin yet, she hasn't explained to Ah Qin yet, if she just wants to go to the Queen Mother to ask clearly, what can Ah Qin do?
What's more, if you find the Queen Mother, you will definitely be able to ask a clear understanding?
Su Qi turned around and grabbed Qi Ling's hand, and said anxiously: "Qi Ling, you must help me!" ”
Qi Ling is not stupid, just after Su Qi's words, she thought of the person behind the scenes after a little thought, and when she heard Su Qi's request for help, she was stunned for a moment, frowned and said: "What do you want me to do, you just say it!" ”
Even if the other party was the imperial grandmother, she would definitely not look at Su Qi without it.
Su Qi's eyes were slightly wet, but this was not the time to show gratitude, she immediately said: "I must find Murong Qin first, and the Queen Mother will help me keep an eye on it, we don't know what will happen next," so......
"Good!" Qi Ling immediately responded, "The imperial grandmother has always been mysterious, sometimes even the imperial uncle doesn't know her old man's intentions, you go to find Murong Qin's brother quickly, I will definitely pay attention to the imperial grandmother's side, and tell me in time if there is anything abnormal, okay?" ”
After speaking, Qi Ling didn't wait for Su Qi to answer, and ran out of the small courtyard with him, until he couldn't see her figure anymore, Su Qifang said coldly: "Let's go, let's go and find it quickly." ”
It was only at this moment that she knew that Ah Qin was so important in her Su Qi's mind, even if she knew that the Queen Mother was now teaming up with Xuanwu Yicheng to plot to frame her, even if she didn't know what kind of danger and hardship she would face, and now she Su Qi still resolutely decided to find Ah Qin and explain to him, just to get his forgiveness......
However, she didn't find Ah Qin, even if she had already turned around the West Straight Palace, even if she even used Chu Qing and Banxiang, there was still no trace of anyone.
She threw herself on Murong Qin, and she didn't even pay attention to the handsome shadows of foreign sons and goddesses who could be seen everywhere in the Xizhixing Palace, and she didn't even arouse the slightest doubt.
Qi Ling asked anxiously all the way, but was finally stopped by his father-in-law.
"Back to the county lord, the queen mother is talking secretly with the envoys, and she ordered anyone not to disturb if they come, and I hope the county lord will forgive me!"
Qi Ling was so angry that she stomped her feet, one flew over, and in a blink of an eye it had fallen to the middle of the courtyard, she stared at the four little princesses and said: "If you dare to show off, the lord of this county will definitely want your head, and the imperial grandmother loves me so much." If you want to kill or scrape, it's still a word from the county lord! You've got to think it through. ”
So, one by one, their faces turned pale with fright, and they fell to their knees one after another, not daring to say anything more.
Qi Ling raised his eyebrows and strode in.
In the main hall of the West Straight Palace, the eight-sided black lacquered Nanmu carved door is closed, and the carved small window under the plane tree is also closed tightly at the moment, Qi Ling flashed surprise in her heart for a while, she leaned over softly, and was about to push the door. But the hand bounced back when it touched the Nanmu carved door.
She's short. Hide under the apse window.
This place was discovered when I was a child playing hide and seek with Brother Xuanwu, and it was surrounded by human-high flowers and trees on three sides, and it was under the window of the inner room. It's best to hide or eavesdrop on the footing.
Thereupon. Clearer words came.
"It's been so many years. The mourning family finally looked forward to you back, and now, you have grown so tall. The body and bones are no longer as weak as when they were children, and the imperial grandmother can finally put her mind at ease, she has been adrift all these years, but she has suffered you, Qin'er......"
Then came the sound of "huh" crying.
"The grandson is not bitter, with the care and love of the imperial grandmother, the grandson is doing well......"
The mellow, deep voice, the most familiar voice, is none other than Brother Murong Qin.
The brow on Qi Ling's forehead furrowed deeper and deeper.
How could Brother Qin be in the inner room of the imperial grandmother, and the little father-in-law outside was not the imperial grandmother who was meeting the envoys of the five countries? If she had known that Brother Qin was with the imperial grandmother, she would not have acted separately from Su Qi, it was the imperial grandmother who had always been cold to Brother Qin, why did she say such a thing today, and ...... Crying!
How could an old man as charitable and joyful as the imperial grandmother cry?
It's been so many years, majestic, charitable, happy, and severe, but she Qiling has never seen the imperial grandmother cry, what's wrong with her today?
Qi Ling got up slightly and pressed the root of his ear against the crack in the window.
"Qin'er, now that you are not young, the marriage matter naturally cannot be delayed any longer, today the emperor's grandmother specially summoned you together, just to find a suitable girl for you."
"Tell the imperial grandmother, have you just seen what you like?"
Originally...... It turned out that the imperial grandmother was there to protect Brother Qin!
Qi Ling's heart was shocked, and she almost stumbled and fell to the ground, but fortunately she grabbed the window.
However, Brother Murong Qin saw the scene of Su Qi and Brother Xuanwu's intimacy......
What would Brother Chin say?
Qi Ling became more and more curious, and even slowed down his breathing.
Murong Qin's eyes flashed A Qi's delicate eyebrows, and then the intertwined figures, the smell of wine in the room, but he just wanted to escape, he paused, looked straight back at the imperial grandmother's face of concern, the sword in his heart slid through, and he said lightly: "Qin'er listens to the imperial grandmother's arrangement." ”
When the words fell, the Queen Mother's eyebrows and eyes overflowed with joy.
She knew that Qin'er would not be confused by Su Muli's girl, what the eldest brother said that day in Ziyun Mountain Stream must have been just that the eldest brother was too concerned about Mu Jiu's worries, if it was reasonable to say that Xuan'er had fallen in love with that girl, how could a child like Qin'er be only confused by her beautiful appearance?
The Queen Mother took Murong Qin's hand and said: "The mourning family knows that you are a good child, these days you will be in the imperial capital after the mourning family has been paying attention to you, there are many ladies in the imperial capital, but there are not many who can match our royal family in terms of net worth and appearance, the mourning family thinks that you are happy and quiet, and you are a weak body, the lady who marries back must be a soft personality, considerate and will take care of talents, if it is just a delicate and willful girl, it is not good, the mourning family is only looking forward to you adding a great-great-grandson in the coming year!" ”
Qi Ling hid at the foot of the window, but his legs trembled.
During this period of time, the emperor's grandmother ran to the general's mansion every now and then, was it just for Murong Qin's brother, Su Qi behaved decently, and was well-behaved and obedient, could it get into her old man's eyes?
But does it mean that the emperor's uncle values Su Qi? Is it good to marry Su Qi to Murong Qin's brother?
For a moment, Qi Ling was so nervous that he held his breath.
"The mourning family thought about it, and looked at it again and again, and went to the Ziyun Mountain Stream several times to discuss this matter with your Mu family's uncle and grandmother, and now it's okay, he is also very optimistic about you, and has agreed to marry Mu Jiu's child to you!"
When the words fell, a "pimple" sounded from the foot of the window.
The Queen Mother suddenly frowned, and Mama Yu beside her immediately walked over.
"Meow, meow, meow"
Qi Ling was in a panic, and learned to scream a few times, and hid in the flowers and trees with a smoke.
Mama Yu opened the window and glanced at it a few times, and said with a smile: "...... It's a flower cat that has run away. ”
The Queen Mother nodded, and she closed the window again.
Qi Ling couldn't stay any longer, and ran out of the flowers and trees in three or two steps, and rushed towards the outside of the hall.
In the inner room of the main hall, the Queen Mother asked Murong Qin with a charitable eyebrow, and said: "The mourning family is dedicated to your good, and Mu Jiu's child can be regarded as growing up with you since childhood, and they naturally understand each other's temperament, although she was not born to your uncle's original match, but after all, she is also the son of the Mu family, and she has been raised by your Mu family's uncle and grandmother since she was a child, you can rest assured that marrying her will not let you suffer." ”
"If you can watch you and Xuan'er become relatives and have their own children, the imperial grandmother can go with peace of mind......
Murong Qin's mind was full of Su Qi's figure at this moment, delicate, capricious, smiling, and eyebrows raised, he remembered the soft fragrance in his arms in the Four Academies that day, and the soft green silk with the natural fragrance had been wrapping around his heart, Murong Qin thought at that time, if he could hold his Ah Qi every day and gossip about the flowers in front of the court, and sit and watch the clouds rise and fall, how happy it would be!
It's a pity that it's just a dream!
The Queen Mother looked at Murong Qin's absent-minded appearance, and her heart became more and more uneasy, she continued: "The mourning family doesn't want you to get married this year, your uncle and grandfather Mu feel sorry for Mu Jiu's child, and want to stay by his side for another year or two. ”
After hearing this, Murong Qin said lightly: "There is the trouble of the grandmother of the emperor, and Qin'er is the master of the grandmother alone!" ”
Shao Gong is right, he can't get it after all, why don't he let it go as soon as possible?
If you die, you will be able to go on better!
Whether it is Mu Jiu or not, at least Mu Fu is his Murong Qin's backer in the future, and his actions are different!
The sun was almost overhead, but Su Qi was still walking through the flower paths, and the white sun shone on her dizziness.
It's been almost half an hour, but she still hasn't found Aqin, and her heart is getting more and more flustered, there is no news from Qi Ling's side, it is the best news, and the queen mother is afraid that she also knows that she Su Muli is alert, so she took the handle.
But where did Achin go?
Mother-in-law Chensu came over to support her, and said sadly: "The lady should rest first, and now it is almost noon, the sun is the most vicious time, if the lady is suffering from heat stroke, how is it good, as long as people are still in the palace, they will definitely be able to find it, the lady and the three princes have always been close, if there is any misunderstanding, it will make sense, the lady must not be anxious." ”
Granny Chensu didn't know what was going on, so she said that. (To be continued.) )
