Chapter 399: Summoned
Zheng soon left.
Xue stood in place for a long time, his face extremely ugly. Even Ye Qingfu, who was the most eyeless, didn't dare to lean over, and only asked Ye Yuanzhou in a low voice: "Big brother, what's wrong with my mother?" ”
Didn't you just go to Chenglu Mansion, as for being so angry? I can't go this time, so I'll go next time. Moreover, it is also a good thing that the third sister can enter the palace. Although she is also very enthusiastic about the good things of entering the palace, she already has Cousin Xue, so she doesn't care about the marriage.
Ye Yuanzhou's face was also very wrong, and his eyes looked directly at the direction in which the carriage disappeared. It was like something precious had been taken away, and he didn't hear what Ye Qingfu was saying.
It's weird. Ye Qingfu muttered secretly in her heart, and shouted patiently: "Big brother, did you hear what I just said?" ”
…… Ye Yuanzhou glanced at Ye Qingfu blankly, without the slightest reaction.
Ye Qingfu rolled her eyes and muttered in a low voice: "The queen mother summoned the third sister, but it is a great joy." You and your mother are not happy at all. ”
Ye Yuanzhou squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and reluctantly explained: "I was too shocked for a while, so I haven't reacted until now." ”
Even Ye Qingfu, who was rough-leaved, saw Ye Yuanzhou's abnormality, and asked worriedly: "Big brother, are you uncomfortable, your face is really ugly." Don't stand here anymore, go back and rest! ”
Ye Yuanzhou nodded casually, and without waiting for Ye Qingfu, he turned around and left. His gait was slow, his back stiff, and he seemed to have exhausted all his strength before he could take a step.
Ye Qingfu looked at Ye Yuanzhou's figure in a daze, and always felt that something was wrong. But she couldn't say what was wrong...... Never mind. This kind of brain-draining thing is not suitable for her at all, so she should not think about it too much.
Ye Qingfu secretly glanced at Xue. finally mustered up the courage to step forward: "Mother, I can't go to Shangshufu anymore, why don't you send someone to say it now." Otherwise, Mrs. Ma will definitely blame us for being rude......" She thought she was decent, but she didn't know that it was a heart-cutting knife for the Xue family.
All of Xue's anger and anger and strong unwillingness to resentment leaned out at once: "I naturally know what to do, what do I want you to do!" ”
was scolded in front of a group of maids and servants, Ye Qingfu was also extremely aggrieved, her eyes suddenly turned red, and tears fell down her eyes.
How could the Xue family still be in the mood to coax Ye Qingfu at this moment. With a gloomy face, he stared in the direction in which the carriage had disappeared. I kept thinking about it. But helplessly and frustratedly, she found that today's unexpected scene had completely disrupted her plan.
If Empress Gu intends to marry Ye Qinglan, even if she is a mother-in-law, she will never dare to interfere with it......
Who is helping Ye Qinglan?
My mind was a mess, and I couldn't come up with a charter after thinking about it for a long time. The Xue family had to forcibly suppress the resentment in his heart, and instructed the housekeeper around him to go to Shangshu Mansion to deliver a message.
The housekeeper's mother-in-law didn't dare to slack off, so she hurriedly got into the carriage and went to see Ma without mentioning it.
Ye Qinglan sat upright in the carriage, and didn't talk much along the way, except for a few polite greetings with the female officer at the beginning. The rest of the time there was silence.
The female officer is the most picky, but after secretly observing along the way, she can't help but secretly praise in her heart. Not to mention that this Miss Ye Shi is outstanding, this calm and calm kung fu is also difficult for ordinary people to achieve. Although not very old. But there is a calmness and composure beyond his age. No wonder Gu Shilang personally begged for her to be in front of the queen mother!
As Empress Gu's close confidant, the female official naturally knows a lot of things. Even for Gu Shilang's face, he must not neglect this Miss Ye Shi......
"Today is a private summons from the queen mother. Miss Ye Shi doesn't need to be nervous. The lady in law broke the silence with a smile and reminded kindly: "The queen mother is busy with the trivial affairs of the six palaces on weekdays. Leisure is limited. When you see the queen later, you just have to listen to the teachings of the mother. ”
Other words. She answered whatever Queen Gu asked. Don't be clever and talkative!
Ye Qinglan was naturally a smart person who listened to the string song and heard the elegance, and immediately smiled: "Thank you for the reminder." ”
The female officer was cautious by nature, and smiled when she heard this, so she casually opened the topic: "I heard that Miss Ye Shi and Miss Gu are handkerchiefs, I don't know if Miss Ye Shi has heard about the interesting things that have happened recently." ”
Interesting? Ye Qinglan shook her head in surprise. She had just separated from Gu Xiyu a few days ago, and since then she has been sick and has no idea what is happening outside the mansion. But what will happen in just a few days? It even spread to the palace......
The female official Yue smiled and talked about the latest gossip in the capital: "The prince of the mansion of Lord Xie, the secretary of the ministry, fell in love with Miss Gu at first sight, and threatened everywhere that she would not marry. But Lord Xie has always disagreed to come to the door to propose marriage, and Mr. Xie has been making trouble in the house all day long, and I heard that the house is restless. ”
Ye Qinglan laughed dumbly when she heard this.
It turned out to be Xie Peng's rotten peach blossom. In fact, even if Xie Fu came to the door to propose marriage, Gu Xinian and Mrs. Zheng's temper would never agree. Except for Xie Peng's face and family background, which can barely see people, the rest is simply not worth anything. It's just a second ancestor, and it's frivolous and prodigal. It's not worthy of Gu Xiyu at all!
However, in Xie Fu's view, Gu Xiyu, the delicate daughter of the princess, also has many flaws. No matter how beautiful the appearance is, no matter how noble the identity is, but the loneliness is a big pity. If you marry home, you can only be offered like a bodhisattva, and you can't serve your in-laws and husbands at all, let alone take care of the affairs of the inner house in the future. Xie Shangshu is such an only son, so he is naturally reluctant to let his son marry such a woman.
With a few casual chit-chats, the palace will soon arrive.
The lady got out of the carriage and handed the sign over. The eunuch guarding the palace gate saw the female official, and was very warm and polite, nodding and flattering. As a female official close to Queen Gu, she had long been accustomed to such treatment, smiled reservedly, and then led Ye Qinglan into the palace gate.
In the Imperial Palace, only nobles can ride in a sedan chair. The rest of the people had to walk on their legs. The female officer led Ye Qinglan all the way over, and the eunuchs and palace maids came over to greet each other. Looking at Ye Qinglan's curious gaze, it was naturally not less.
Ye Qinglan's extraordinary calmness was fully revealed, neither cowardly nor dodgy, only smiling in response to curious gazes.
The female officer nodded secretly in her heart.
When she arrived outside the Fengyi Palace, the female officer said with a smile: "Please also ask Miss Ye Shi to wait here for a while, and the slave will go to report to the queen." ”
Ye Qinglan responded with a smile.
After the female official entered the Fengyi Palace, Ye Qinglan waited in the verandah outside the hall. Rui Xue had followed Ye Qinglan into the palace, although she was nervous, her face was quite calm. Ruomei is meticulous and calm, although it is the first time to enter the palace, she is calmer than Ruixue.
Ye Qinglan looked at the two maids' faces out of the corner of her eyes, and she was very satisfied.
After waiting for about two teas, the lady finally came out again, and said with a smile: "The queen is in the side hall, and I also invite Miss Ye Shi to go in with the slaves." As for Ruixue and Ruomei, they were naturally not qualified to go in together, and were led aside by the other palace maids to wait.
Ye Qinglan took a deep breath, hung her head slightly, and followed the female official to the side hall.
To be honest, it would be a lie to say that you weren't nervous at all. In this era of supremacy of imperial power, a fluttering word from the superior can make a person's fate change dramatically. Ye Qinglan doesn't like this feeling of being controlled by others, but the environment is like this, and it is impossible to resist. I can only do my best to show Xiàn well, and don't let Queen Gu down. can't live up to Gu Xinian's heart......
Entering the side hall, Ye Qinglan Yingying stood still, and under the guidance of the female official-in-law, she respectfully bowed to Queen Gu who was sitting on the phoenix chair.
Empress Gu looked at the girl kneeling in front of her, and said lightly after a while: "Flat!" "The voice is neither high nor low, and there is no joy or anger to be heard, and it is full of the majesty of the superior.
Ye Qinglan thanked her respectfully, then got up and stood aside honestly.
There was silence in the side hall, and Ye Qinglan could only hear her own slight breathing. Although she hung her head, she could clearly feel that Queen Gu's sharp and cold gaze had been looking at her.
Obviously, this Queen Gu doesn't want to see her. It was only because Gu Xinian came forward to plead that he reluctantly summoned her to the palace. But entering the palace does not mean that Queen Gu really accepts her......
Empress Gu finally slowly broke the silence. "What's your name?"
The typical knowingly asked question was also a test of her reaction.
At this time, it is also important to talk back. It is very impolite to look at the other party directly, and it is suspected of violating the royal majesty, but if you bow your head and reply, you look too cowardly.
Ye Qinglan raised her head slightly, looked at the position of Queen Gu's chin and answered the question: "Hui Empress Niang, the maiden's surname is Ye, and her maiden name is Qinglan." She is thirteen years old this year and is the concubine of the third room of Changyuan Bofu. ”
The voice is soft and pleasant, but there is no superfluous nonsense, and the eyes are clear, neither humble nor arrogant. Knowing that he was facing the most noble woman today, he was not nervous and looked very calm.
Empress Gu nodded secretly in her heart. This girl really has something extraordinary. However, with these alone, he is still far from worthy of Gu Xinian......
"Do you know why this palace summoned you to the palace today?" Empress Gu threw out the second question.
That's a hard question to answer. The truth can't be said, and it's very out of proportion for a girl who hasn't left the cabinet to say anything like marriage, and it's easy to become a laughing stock. But she can't show her ignorance, that will only make Queen Gu despise her.
This Queen Gu is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she began to make things difficult for her as soon as she came up! (To be continued......)
