260 minds
When he returned to the General's Mansion, he was naturally greeted by the cold for a while, but Su Qi was too lazy to answer these questions, and came directly to the hall.
Murong Qin couldn't see Su Qi's expression clearly through the burning brazier, but faintly saw that she pursed her lips tightly and didn't roll down tears.
Murong Qin glanced at the black coffin in front of him again, and the pain in his heart hit one after another.
Shao Gong came to say: "The secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment ask to see him." β
Murong Qin frowned, turned around and strode away.
originally thought that Su Qi was the only one who had just returned to the General's Mansion, even if the Duchess of the Kingdom spoiled her, it was only a few months of hard work, and no matter how much it was just a cry, but now looking at her appearance, Murong Qin felt distressed and regretted it at the bottom of his heart.
Maybe she didn't dare to kill the killer like this at the beginning, no matter how high-ranking the Duchess of the country is, she is just an inner house woman after all, and if she wants to meddle in the affairs of the harem, how can it be as simple as she can say, but when he heard about it, he was afraid, he Murong Qin finally sat in this position, and now the old case of the Huo family has not been re-investigated, Su Qi and him are also sincerely in love, if he is disturbed by this old woman who doesn't know what to do, wouldn't his Murong Qin's planning and calculations for so many years be in vain?
It's better to remove it than to keep it for peace of mind!
Anyway, he wasn't an indecisive person in the first place, when did he look forward to the future like this?
Let's go through some time, Dayue customs. In July of the filial piety period, perhaps after half a year, Ah Qi's pain will be reduced, and he will naturally be able to happily marry him Murong Qin!
Saying that, this Murong Qin left, and this Qiling County Lord came out and attached it to Su Qi's ear, "Brother Xuanwu is waiting in the Moli Garden, you come with me." β
Su Qi calmed his face and got up with Qi Ling.
You Shi stepped forward with concern, "...... But hungry and tired? Your bones are better. Your Majesty has repeatedly explained that you want to be good and raised. There are aunts and uncles here, and you can go and rest. As he spoke, he beckoned to Su Siniang behind him, and said, "You can talk to your fourth sister on weekdays, she doesn't say that she can take care of people." But he is also a gentle one. It's good to talk to you and relieve your fatigue. The county lord of Qiling is a distinguished guest in the house, and there is no reason to let the county lord accompany him. The last sentence was said to Qi Ling with a diligent smile.
Su Qi frowned almost inaudibly.
You Shi still wanted to come out like this, and Su Qi was about to open his mouth to stop it. I didn't want Qi Ling to take her hand directly, and said as she walked forward: "The county lord came here to chat with Su Qi to relax, is it possible that the wife of the mansion still thinks that the county lord is here to see your face?" Ignoring You Shi's pale face, he then said to Su Siniang who came over: "The county lord and Qi Niang have something to say, don't come to disturb the idle people, you don't have to look at the bad mood!" β
After saying that, he walked away without looking back.
You Shi smiled awkwardly, patted Su Siniang's shoulder, and went to entertain the guests. Su Siniang secretly stomped her feet, and she had already hated Su Qi in her heart.
Su Sanniang looked at it coldly, and continued to burn paper money one by one.
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, her face turned red with shame for a while, and she was a little timid when she looked at Su Qi's cold complexion, she was well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, and she never got into trouble, although she was curious about what happened between Su Qi and Prince Murong Qin, but her education since she was a child told her that she couldn't inquire at will, so 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 had begun to set in the west, but the summer sun was still dazzling, Su Qi looked at Murong Qin's sparkling waves hidden behind him, his eyes were swollen and painful for a while, and tears couldn't stop falling.
She said, "Ah Qin, have you decided?" β
did not ask why, nor did he justify what happened before, but asked Murong Qin if he had decided.
Because Su Qi knew that in the face of powerful facts, no amount of justification and questioning was meaningless.
All she wants to know is whether Ah Qi's Ah Qin has decided to marry another lady!
Murong Qin turned around, Yuguan's face was faintly sad, and he said, "Ah Qi, something is ...... 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 to be so heartbreaking ****, 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, and what fits is good shoes. Is it a bad shoe that doesn't fit? 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 eyes never shifted. But he never moved a single step from beginning to end.
His hands behind his back trembled slightly. His chest fluctuated, but he ...... Still held back.
After many years, the old place was revisited. At that time, Murong Qin, who was honorable, looked at the lake at dusk. The chest cavity will always rise and fall inexplicably. He would always catch his breath, followed by a sigh.
It's a pity that I was young at that time......
So. I don't know how to cherish ......
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 minions are just looking at their son's face and acting, it is the son who is not at ease and wants to come over to take a look, disturbing his mother's Yaxing, and the son is reckless."
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? But if you go to the palace from the west straight to the palace, what kind of joke will you make?
wants to cover it up, but today her wife has other important things to do, so she won't discuss it with the emperor.
The Queen Mother said lightly: "The emperor is the mourning family since childhood, knowing the son Mo Ruomu, what is the emperor's mind Mourning family is naturally clear, you can rest assured, the mourning family called these ladies to come just to enjoy the flowers over the Chinese Valentine's Day, it just so happened that the envoys of the five countries were in the imperial capital, and they had the heart of adult beauty. 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.
Behind closed doors like this, the two of them were talking considerately. Or for the first time.
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 been able to get along, and the mourning family still remembers that Xuan'er had just entered the palace at that time, but she was a little doll who was not afraid of heaven and earth, and her temper was also the greatest. At that time, your aunt will laugh with the mourning family. said that these two children were afraid of fate, and the mourning family thought that the children were still young, so they listened to it as a joke. β
"Your uncle Cen Zhou's language attack or Qin'er stepped forward to block an arrow, and that kid is honest. When I returned to the imperial capital, I didn't see your uncle. It was your uncle who knew that the kid was playing a good game of chess, so he summoned him to the Ziyun Mountain Stream to stay for a few days. I don't want the first two **** uncles to invite me to go, and I praised Qin'er when I opened and closed my mouth, and then suddenly I talked about the things when the children were young. Only then did the mourning family remember ......"
"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 back in the imperial capital now, 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, the mourning family thinks that they have to do it quickly, emperor, what do you think?"
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 over the years, he said that he was angry with Qin'er, but as a mother, she knew that it was not.
The emperor is clear from wrong, if it wasn't for the last resort, he wouldn't have been so thunderous, Qin'er is only a seven-year-old child, not to mention participating in that ugly thing, I'm afraid I don't know what happened, these things that she can think of as an old woman in the harem, how could the emperor not think of it?
It just takes time to calm down and clear his mind, and it takes time to face it calmly, even if he is the emperor.
Now, the time has come.
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.
It's been said in private. 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 while, their imperial capital palace suddenly became a joke, and the gate of the mansion was full of traffic in the past. Now it's a lot of doors. Hearing from my mother, several families who originally intended to marry their palace all withdrew their letters.
I heard that during this period of time, the Queen Mother went to the General's Mansion again and again, and was coaxed by Su Qi's girl, not to mention the county lord of Qiling. Almost half of the time was with Na Su Qi. She felt even more uncomfortable in her heart.
When their palace was in trouble. The general's mansion on Su Qi's side is full of flowers, speaking of which, the aunt in the palace is not guilty 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 suffered, but Su Qi's girl was safe and sound, and she was more and more favored by the Queen Mother?
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 don't want to, I waited and waited but I saw an interesting scene, Su Qi sister actually ran out by herself, I was in a hurry, didn't Su Qi sister just break her foot, how can she walk around so casually, let alone run, so I stepped forward with the county lord of Qiling to stop it, I didn't want my sister to be very strong, so I pushed me away and ran out directly."
"I saw that the step was very big, and my sister was so neat even if she ran, and it didn't look like she had broken her foot, but I still couldn't rest assured in my heart after all, so I came to ask like this."
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 thorny provocation in his words was also in place.
The Queen Mother glanced at Su Qi, who was drinking alone in the middle of the banquet, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, and she 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?" (To be continued.) )
