242 So it was1
With a "clang", the high-grade Ru kiln blue and white fine pot shattered to the ground.
Murong Qin's face was pale, his fists were clenched, and there were deep Sichuan character lines on his forehead, but despite this, he still pursed his lips and didn't say anything.
Su Qi couldn't help but think of those days in the Fourth Academy of the Imperial Palace, she got the permission of the Queen Mother to treat him every day, every day he would make a pot of tea, sit quietly under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard, and wait for her to come. The process of diagnosis and treatment was very fast, and then the two of them chatted about tea, Murong Qin would talk about things when he was a child, and the most mentioned in the words was the loving and kind "imperial grandfather", at that time, all the corners of his eyebrows and eyes flashed with soft light, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, Su Qi couldn't help but think of his grandparents when he heard it.
It's a pity that although Murong Qin is the emperor's grandson, he lives in the Four Princes' Mansion with his father, and the days of entering the palace are few, not to mention that his "imperial grandfather" is busy all year round, so the number of times their ancestors and grandchildren meet is even less.
Murong Qin once mentioned the death of the former emperor, he was still young at the time, and the bad news came only to know that he was sad and sad, as a group of princes and grandsons knelt together, at a glance it was all vegetarian, he knelt in the crowd, no matter how hard he raised his head and fell his feet, he couldn't see the appearance of the "imperial grandfather" as he wished, until the coffin was sealed, he was watching the bright yellow font on the spiritual tablet.
Su Qi's heart softened, she remembered her grandfather, compared to Murong Qin in the hierarchical royal family, she got along with her grandfather more, and even now she remembers it more fully.
At least, there is no guilt or regret.
"And then?" Su Qi asked.
The story is not finished, and it is not just that she hopes that the old emperor Rende can continue to talk.
"And then?" The old emperor of Rende raised his eyebrows. "Becoming the emperor is not as good as I thought before, the queen mother has gradually become cold to me since my father's affairs, and even stopped seeing me for a while, but at the beginning of my ascension to the throne, I was also busy, my father had so many princes and grandchildren, and I naturally had many dissenting voices when I took the throne, in order to take care of these things, I spent nearly half a year, and when I had time to go to find Ah Lin again, I didn't expect you to secretly go to Su Changfeng's military camp without telling your parents!"
Su Qi was shocked. The body couldn't help but sit up straight.
"I'm really mad. I can't imagine that you really like Su Changfeng as much as the queen mother said! It happened that the ministers of the former court were discussing the matter after the establishment of the Emperor, and in a fit of anger, I decided to make your sister Wang Yumo the queen. ”
"But it didn't take long for me to regret it."
"I still remember that day, the day when the second dragon raised its head in early February, I went out on patrol to go to the Jiu Neng National Temple. I didn't expect to meet you in the back mountain. Even more unexpected. You're crying. The pear blossoms are like rain, chattering with the mother-in-law beside him. ”
"You said that Su Changfeng personally sent you back to the imperial capital, and you said that Su Changfeng came to apologize to you. You said that Su Changfeng wanted to get married, the reason is very simple, he recognized the wrong person for a while! ”
Hearing this, Su Qi's chest ached, and his back felt cold.
What's the matter, is his nominal father stunned, and the royal marriage is something you can regret if you want to? Unexpectedly, the reason is so simple, who believes the wrong person?
Su Qiyi couldn't cry or laugh for a while.
Is this a game of family play, or a royal marriage?
"After hearing this, I was so happy for a while that I didn't know what to do, and when the mother-in-law beside her walked away, I walked over."
"After that, we naturally came to fruition, I don't want to be wronged by you, let alone let you be wronged like this, I went to find the queen mother, for which I knelt in Shouren Palace for a day and a night, the queen mother saw me, but before I could tell the matter, she turned around and left."
"I only knew the deep meaning of the words, thinking about it, and finally it was the Southern Barbarian wizard who gave me a good idea, as an emperor, I naturally can't regret the marriage at every turn, but if your sister Wang Yumo is sick and can't do it, then you don't have to bother anymore. It's just a drug, not to mention that now that I'm the emperor, this kind of thing is better to do. ”
"As soon as the news came out that the eldest daughter of the Wang family couldn't enter the palace due to illness, you came to me, I tell you, tell you seriously, the queen candidate in my heart has always been you, it can only be you!"
"You cried, cried so sadly, cried so much that I was in a hurry, but I didn't know how to comfort you."
"We have agreed to ascend on the ninth of September, and I thought that it would be time to discuss our wedding with you, but we both underestimated the fire of a woman's jealousy."
"Wang Yumo bumped into us, in the back mountain of Jiu Nengguo Temple, in a panic, you fled back to the house in a hurry, I couldn't rest assured and followed, until I was almost at the gate of the palace to learn that Wang Yumo ran directly to the palace gate. Unfortunately, my will was still a step slow, and the Queen Mother personally summoned her to the Shouren Palace. ”
is a queen, and now the queen who eats fasting and recites Buddha all day long. Then it was your wedding, and the queen mother took me to watch your sedan chair on the city gate tower and walked away. ”
Speaking of this, the old emperor of Rende sighed lightly. He looked ahead, as if his heart was all about the events of the day.
Thinking about it, seeing the lady being held in the arms of His Royal Highness King Xuan, her face was crimson, and her mother-in-law's forehead frowned deeper and deeper, and now the lady is getting bigger, although men and women don't need to deliberately avoid it, but it is too inappropriate to hug it like that, not to mention that the lady also came to the female letter, how can His Royal Highness King Xuan's dignified seven-foot man be such a light lady?
Granny Chensu glanced at the study with the closed door on the opposite side, and the dim candlelight flickered in it, and she was even more uneasy.
His Royal Highness King Xuan has never left in the study of the eldest princess's mansion, and every half an hour someone comes to ask about the situation of the lady, but I am afraid that no one will leave today, and she will have to fight well tonight.
Granny Chensu took a deep breath, her eyes shining, and she stood more and more straight.
In the house, the head of Qiling County sat down with Su Qi's hand, she glanced at Su Qi's abdomen, and asked, "It's better, does it still hurt badly?" ”
Speaking of this, the face of the county lord of Qiling turned a little red, "When I first came, it hurt, and I was scared half to death." I thought I was going to die, but if it wasn't for someone who handed me this, I was afraid that it would be...... I'll be scared in the future. ”
Qi Niang glanced at the more crimson face, and smiled secretly in her heart, this kind of thing is not all taught by her mother, like the county lord and her, who have no mother since childhood, think about it is also taught by the old mother-in-law around her, and the mother-in-law of Chensu has also talked about it, but it is too vague, not to mention how she Su Muli doesn't know these things, she didn't pay attention to them at all, but now I heard Qi Ling say this. It seems that this person's first time is afraid that there is another story.
She blurted out, "Who...... The county lord of the church? ”
Qi Ling looked at the playful face on the other side. Said angrily: "I care about you kindly, you Su Qi still tease me like this, it's really kind and not rewarded!" ”
Qi Niang looked at the shy face, and comforted with a smile: "Okay, okay." It's just Qi Niang's curiosity to ask. He said. Qi Niang stood up and bowed respectfully. Said: "The little woman is thanks to the hero's help today, and she will be a cow and a horse in the coming day to repay the hero's kindness today!" ”
"Poof!" The county lord of Qiling couldn't help laughing, "Just be a cow and a horse." There are more people who make cattle and horses for the lord of this county, but there are a lot of you Su Qi, you still have to be my ally of Qi Ling, let's defend against foreign enemies together, kill the enemy without leaving a piece of armor, it's good! ”
Tut-tut, it's really exciting!
Qi Niang looked at Qi Ling's momentum with a wave of her big hand, and couldn't help but smile heartily, and said, "Do your best to follow the hero!" ”
After saying that, the two joined hands and laughed.
After such a fuss, Fang Cai's unpleasant idea had long since disappeared.
Qi Niang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the Qiling County Lord was rude, arrogant, and extreme, but after these few contacts, except for the first time in the Imperial Ink Pavilion and broke up, the remaining times got along very well, especially the Qiling County Lord's hearty and unpretentious temperament, which was very suitable for her Su Qi's appetite, and she only felt that whether she was talking or acting with this county lord, she was much more relaxed than usual.
Qi Niang thought about it, the first time they met, Wang Erniang was not there, and she thought that it must be that girl who was talking about the ice spirit, so that she would have a bad impression of the lord of Qiling.
Yes, it must be the Wang Erniang who died!
The county lord of Qiling looked at Su Qi's eyebrows and smiled at this moment, thinking of her words in the style of a female man, he felt extremely kind, and the conversation clip opened involuntarily.
"I have no mother since I was a child, I went to the barracks with my father at the age of three, most of the time I live with the mother-in-law in the army, and then when I get older, my father will occasionally take me to the barracks to go around, Su Qi, you don't know how good the barracks are, in the imperial capital, these brocade clothes and jade food are vulgar, dirty, and unsightly, but in the eyes of my Qi Ling, it is comfortable, comfortable, affectionate and righteous, you can ride a horse and shoot arrows freely, you can burn a bonfire to roast a whole sheep, and then a wine jar for one person, and open your throat to sing a ballad in the bright moonlight, The fatigue and boredom of the whole day are gone...... Su Qi, you will have to go to the barracks in the future, it is best to go with me to my father's northwest barracks, which is adjacent to Beiyi and Xuanwu, and is the most vast and lush place of the grassland, it would be best if you went in spring and summer, but it is not bad to go in autumn and winter, the sorghum wine in the northwest is not only a good wine, but it is the most popular in the barracks in autumn and winter......"
"I see that you have a different temperament, and I think I don't love female celebrities, like me, I don't like those needle-threading jobs the most, what's so good about female celebrities, instead of sitting with a needle in the afternoon, it's better to go to the back garden to practice swords, and go to the suburbs of the city to race a horse to be comfortable!"
"Have you ever been to Wulipo on the outskirts of the city? I often go to horse races with Brother Xuanwang, did he take you there......"
Saying this, Qi Ling's voice became quieter and quieter, and finally closed his mouth, looking at Su Qilai with a worried expression.
Qi Niang sighed and said, "Qi Ling, if you have anything, just ask." ”
Why bother looking at her so carefully, is there anything else that she Su Qi can't say?
Although the county lord of Qiling got the lead, he hurriedly asked, "What do you think of my Xuanwu brother?" ”
When the words fell, seeing Su Qi's natural expression, she became even more bold, "I just look at you as a good person, not only do you dive into the water to save me so righteously, but also your appearance and temperament are comfortable, and besides, my brother Xuan is also very good to you, so I want to ask you about your tone." ”
"Su Qi, it's the first time that Brother Xuanwu has been so attentive to a girl's family, don't take it lightly!"
"Oh, really?" Qi Niang became curious. Dare to love that guy to use her so much, not only using her Su Muli as a gunman, but also seeing that the fire pit is going to push her in, but in the eyes of others, it is the so-called heart?
"Of course it's true, these are all things that I have seen with my own eyes." The county lord of Qiling shook his head again and again: "You don't know that it was just for you, Brother Xuanwu was so eager that he dragged me out of the inner room directly, and his martial arts mastery, he has been hiding it, I remember that someone secretly assassinated Brother Xuanwu in the imperial capital last year." Even if he was hit by a poisoned arrow in the shoulder, he didn't fight back. Now I flew into the Ink Pear Garden directly for you, tsk, it's really an eye-opener for me! ”
"And there's more...... Do you remember what happened at my birthday party last time? Qi Ling squeezed to Qi Niang's side and asked.
Qi Niang nodded.
Remember, of course remember. How could it be forgotten. It was the first time she had been pushed into the water so tragically. What's even more tragic is that she Su Muli couldn't let go of her hands and feet to swim in the water, and she was almost drowned alive, so angry and helpless. How can you forget?
The county lord of Qiling said happily: "That's good, you don't know that after you fell into the water that day, Brother Xuanwu was so anxious that he completely ignored the pull of those sons and brothers around him, and jumped directly into the sunny and rainy hibiscus pool with you...... Oops, then I heard the girl from Qiuyue talk about it, and I was really shocked...... Su Qi, Su Qi...... Can you listen to me? ”
Qi Niang's eyes were straight, her cherry mouth was slightly open, and she couldn't hear the chirping voice of the county lord of Qiling.
The phrase "Su Qi......" echoed in her ears
Anxious...... Piercing......
And the first pair of eyes she saw when she woke up, Danfeng's eyes with black water like jade, suddenly brightened like stars......
Qi Niang didn't know what Qi Ling said later, but she rested under the excuse of being tired, but after listening to Qi Ling's words, she could still sleep, and for a while she remembered the scene of the half-drunk fight in the Moli Garden in the Cenzhou General's Mansion, and the scene where the guy in the small kitchen pressed her against the wall and bullied her that day, and the evil smile of the guy for a while, and the angry voice of the guy for a while, on the painted carved bed in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, the left and the right were not rolling for a long time, and there was still no sleepiness.
finally rolled into the middle of the night and became confused, but I faintly felt that there was someone, and when I turned around, I saw the figure of the moon and Huabai.
Xuanwu Yicheng smiled bitterly, he couldn't imagine that he was so good at the Invisible Technique that he even avoided the dusty woman who was waiting outside, but this girl was an ear spirit.
"Trouble sleeping?" He asked.
At this time, it has passed the third watch, and if you are not sleeping well, you are not feeling well.
Thinking of this, his good-looking eyebrows furrowed, and said, "But it still hurts?" ”
Su Qiyi sat up with the quilt and looked straight at the person in front of him, as if he didn't know him.
She was conflicted now, like two people were fighting.
One said: Xuanwu Yicheng designed to frame you like that, knowing that Emperor Rende admired your mother, and knowing that he would not be kind to you Su Muli, but he still deceived you into the imperial capital so cruelly, trying to paralyze you with the excuse of liking you in order to push you into the fire pit step by step, such people's hearts are black, how can they repay their kindness?
Another way: Xuanwu Yicheng is indeed thinking badly behind his back, but it is also caused by people's birth circumstances, he has no choice, he wants to go back to Xuanwu, he can only use you like this, but he knows that you will find the truth and know that you will hate him, or tell you the true truth that Emperor Rende likes you, not to mention that since the acquaintance, His Royal Highness King Xuanwang has come to the rescue many times, whether it is standing up at the gate of Cenzhou City or arriving in time in the general's mansion, Whether it is the recklessness after the sunset or the help when you get lost in the heavy rain today, he really paid for you Su Muli for you. What's more, isn't Murong Qin's son also helpless? Didn't he also want to use you to help his mother correct her name? How could you ever blame Murong Qin?
Thinking of this, Su Qi's eyes flashed, and he turned his face away.
Yes, now that she has entered the imperial capital anyway, not to mention that she also came for Yan Mo with selfish intentions at the beginning, why should she turn over the old accounts and put the responsibility on Xuanwu Yicheng, even if he did not inform Emperor Rende on the birthday of the Queen Mother, I am afraid that according to that mediocre and lascivious temperament, it is only a matter of time before I am summoned to the imperial capital, rather than being kept in the dark and being played by others in the future, it is better to know the truth so easily now.
Su Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Xuanwu Yicheng, you have not only harmed me, but also saved me, I, Su Muli, am not a person who does not want to repay his kindness, nor is he a person who has a grudge and grievances, but since you have both hatred and kindness to me, then the merits and demerits will be offset, in the future, I Su Muli will not hate you, but I will not remember your goodness!" ”
"I came to the imperial capital, on the one hand, I was forced by you, on the other hand, I was willing, now that I have come here, there is nothing to say about those old things, but I entered the imperial capital and won the favor of the emperor, but whether I will enter the palace in the future is not what you want in Xuanwu Yicheng, and I might as well tell you bluntly today, I Su Muli doesn't like the old emperor who can be my father, and I won't enter the palace to be an old woman in his harem, even if I die, I won't!"
"If you are forced to be helpless, what if you give up your life?"
"Isn't life just about being comfortable?"
"If even the freedom and happiness are gone, then what's the point of me Su Qi still alive?"
"So in the future, don't try that my Su Qi will do what you want!"
"Let's go!"
At the end of the speech, it was a cold and cold word.
Xuanwu Yicheng smiled desolately, yes, he didn't know that it was best to live freely, but since he was three years old and had no family, country and parents, he had forgotten what it meant to be comfortable......
"Qi Niang, I didn't want you to enter the palace." Xuanwu Yicheng said in a hoarse voice.
Maybe it's better to say something.
"At first, I was curious when I saw that you were like the portrait woman in the imperial uncle's imperial study, and then I inquired many times to know that you were the orphan of General Changfeng, and the daughter of Wang Yulin, the third lady of the Wang family...... You also know what happened later, to be honest, at first I thought that it would be good to sacrifice you to the imperial uncle, maybe he will relax his surveillance of me as soon as he is happy, and maybe he will be less wary of me, but then ...... I don't want to......"
"You are you, Su Muli, even if you are like your mother, you should have your own life instead of repeating the mistakes of the past...... I agreed to other people's requests to ask you to come to the imperial capital, and there was a mess in the Cen Zhou General's Mansion, so I thought that instead of directly tying you up and bringing you to the imperial capital, it would be better to let the imperial uncle come forward as the seventh mother of the Su family in a dignified manner...... It's just that I didn't expect the imperial uncle to care so much...... And the one in Molian Palace who actually hates you to the core......"
"It's wrong for me to come to the imperial capital, don't worry, I will never let you enter the palace......"
After speaking, without waiting for Su Qi to ask a voice, in a bits and pieces of flying, the figure of Fang Cai's white moon had disappeared......
The inner chamber was as quiet as ever, as if it were nothing more than an illusion......
Qi Niang swept around, until she saw the carved golden silk nanmu window that was open to the outside, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Xuanwu Yicheng is not so vicious......
She hugged the quilt and lay down again, only to feel that the thoughts that had just been disturbed were like being caught in the palm of her hand at the moment, and her heart was a little less cluttered and a little more stable, and sleepiness swept over......
On the second day, Qi Ling brought several horses of high-quality clothes and materials and exquisite snacks from the palace's imperial dining room to send her back to the palace directly, among which the two Su Jinhu silk from Beiyi that they said yesterday were also brought over.
The palace was naturally greeted by the whole family's daughters, but Qi Ling didn't even bother to give a look, and said, "The county lord still wants to talk to Qi Niang, so he shouldn't be paid to a lady." He took her hand and went straight to Lanting Courtyard.
The second aunt of the king for lunch has come to invite a few times, and it is all Qiuyue's words, Qi Ling said: "I have been the most annoying to these in the past day, you still moved to the general's mansion earlier, which is not only closer to my eldest princess's mansion, but also has a big house, and it is best without the constraints of these elders, I look at your grandmother, the Duchess of the country, is a hearty old lady." ”
Of course, her grandmother is an old revolutionary who has fought devils on the battlefield, and the last thing she cares about is the red tape in the upper class, but she is afraid that her temperament is more hearty than your Qi Ling!
However, these words cannot be said.
Qi Niang smiled and said: "Grandmother has always lived in Cenzhou, and she doesn't care about anything else except for loving to pick up the vegetable garden on weekdays, and she is older, so she doesn't like the rules according to us last night." (To be continued.) )
