Chapter 167: Stratagem First
Shen Rong carefully recalled what Xie Yu had said to her, shook his head, and said only a few words: "I can't remember exactly." ”
This sentence can have several meanings.
It can be that Shen Rong's memory is not very good, and he really can't remember clearly.
It can also be that Xie Yu has said too much to her, so much that she can't remember.
It depends on how Princess Roujia thinks.
Princess Roujia's originally beautiful face changed color in an instant, but she was afraid that the county lord of An Ning was here, and it was not good to expose her true nature, so she had to hold her breath back into her stomach, and moved the corners of her mouth with a smile: "It seems that the county lord of Jing and Brother Jun are very familiar with each other, and Brother Jun is not something that everyone can befriend." ”
Shen Rong only smiled and said nothing.
Let Princess Roujia secretly guess.
People can't always change this problem.
*******
In the hall, the agarwood lingers, the curtains float lightly, and the two incense burners at the east and west corners scatter curling green smoke.
Xie Kun listened to Empress Dowager Qi's words, and immediately stood up and said, "Imperial grandmother, state affairs are important, and my grandson will not consider getting married for the time being!" ”
"State affairs are important! Family matters are just as important! Kun'er, do you want to disappoint your father? This family matter must be decided, since you don't want to get married, this palace will give you another three years! You have also seen it before, she is the daughter of Shen Pingcheng, the envoy of Jiangbei Xuan, and before she is ready, you will decide on the marriage. "Empress Dowager Qi has always been kind to Xie Kun and has never said anything serious, but today's translation has aggravated the tone and does not allow Xie Kun to question it.
Xie Kun's thick eyebrows tightened, and his narrow eyes narrowed: "That county lord? Is he the daughter of the Shen Mansion of the Xuan Envoy? Previously, Xie Yu went to Jiangbei, and he was also the consolation envoy, so in this way, the Shen Mansion was the object that Prince Ying's Mansion wanted to woo. ”
Empress Dowager Qi listened to Xie Kun's guess and nodded with satisfaction: "Kun'er, you have to focus on the overall situation, besides, the county lord of Jing can't stay in the palace for too long, so I will make a marriage agreement between the two of you first." ”
Xie Kun hesitated for a moment, and nodded heavily: "Sun Er understands." ”
After Xie Kun's words, Empress Dowager Qi smiled and said: "The sooner this matter is, the better, while you have just returned to Beijing, I will ask the emperor to go."
Xie Kun responded, and the arrow shot out of the palace gate.
When he came out, he saw Shen Rong, Lord Anning, and Princess Roujia all enjoying the shade outside in the shade.
His keen and sharp gaze carefully re-examined Shen Rong, and then walked out of Shoukang Palace straight.
Shen Rong immediately glanced at the County Lord of Anning.
The conjecture in my mind was confirmed.
The worst plan is that Xie Kun is going to ask the emperor for an order.
She paused, and said to the county lord of Anning: "County lord, it's not too early, if you don't go back, the princess should be in a hurry." ”
She was afraid that the county lord of Anning would not understand what she meant, so she quietly avoided the gaze of Princess Roujia on the side, and forced the pendant of white marble inlaid red coral beads in her arms into the hand of the county lord of Anning.
Sure enough, when the county lord of Anning caught the jade pendant, his expression changed.
Xie Yu once said that each of the three of them had such a jade pendant, Shen Rong lowered his eyes, and the county lord of An Ning was figuring out the words engraved on it.
The county lord of Anning's expression changed slightly, and after a moment, he felt reasonable again, so he said: "Look at what I said, I forgot the time, it's time for me to go home." ”
The county lord of Anning quickened her pace slightly, holding the pendant with white marble inlaid with red coral beads, no matter what happened to Shen Rong and Xie Yu, she had to hurry back to the house to tell Xie Yu.
When she went out of the palace gate, she first looked around the noisy and bustling streets, and suddenly saw a pair of men and women walking towards her, followed by a carriage, it seemed that she was not from Kyoto, she saw the man holding the reins in his hand.
Her bright eyes lit up, and she immediately rushed forward, took out a few ingots of silver and stuffed them into the man's hand, "Little brother, borrow a horse!" ”
He snatched the reins from his hand quickly, and when the man reacted, he heard the neighing of a horse and watched the woman whip away.
The young woman next to her exclaimed, "Our horse! Is this how the capital is? It's a robber's den! ”
The man glanced at the young woman, weighed the silver in his hand, and smiled helplessly: "Sister, she gave us silver." ”
The two of them are none other than the Song family brothers and sisters who rushed from White Horse City to the capital, Song Xiuran and Song Yixue.
Song Yixue's beautiful eyes turned slightly, and she glanced at it disdainfully: "Who is rare for those few taels of broken silver, and her good mood has ruined her." ”
******************
In the Shoukang Palace, the county lord of Anning will not be able to leave, and Shen Rong will also start planning for himself.
But Princess Roujia stopped in front of her and said angrily: "Stop! You make it clear to Princess Ben, what did Brother Jun say to you! ”
"Princess, I told you, I can't remember clearly, after all, Second Prince Xie has said too much to me, you can't let me write it down and read it to the princess one by one, if the princess really wants to know, then wait, and the next time Second Prince Xie talks to me, I will tell you the princess as it is."
When the entanglement with Princess Roujia was over, the daylily was cold, and Shen Rong deliberately said hard words to provoke Princess Roujia, which alarmed the Empress Dowager Qi in the palace.
If Empress Dowager Qi intended to let Xie Kun marry her, she would never tolerate Princess Roujia's presumptuousness.
"You slut! Still want to talk to Brother Jun? Don't think that you are the county lord, just think that if you ascend to the sky, Brother Jun will not take a fancy to you like you! Princess Roujia shouted stiffly, glaring at Shen Rong.
Shen Rong was not angry at all, but responded calmly: "Does the princess really think so? I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the princess. ”
"Slut!"
Princess Roujia slapped her hand with all her might, and Shen Rong received Princess Roujia's slap stiffly, and her right face immediately stabbed and became red and swollen.
Princess Roujia was addicted to fighting, and waved her other hand, Shen Rong glanced at her with a sneer, grabbed her wrist, used a little force, and said coldly: "Princess, I want you to hit me, you can naturally hit me, if I don't want to, you can't touch me at all!" ”
"You... You—" Roujia struggled hard, unable to break free from being grabbed by the wrist. Shen Rong glanced at the hall with the afterglow of his eyes, and threw off Princess Roujia.
How could Princess Roujia, who was let go, swallow this breath, she was so angry that she was about to raise her hand and shake her face, and she raised her hand, when she suddenly intervened and hurriedly stopped Princess Roujia in a panic.
"Oops! Princess, what are you doing here? I can't do it, I can't do it. Mama Lin couldn't bear to look at Shen Rong, whose cheeks were red and swollen, and sighed.
"Mama, get out of the way, don't stop me!" Princess Roujia was dizzy, where did she care about this, and pushed Mama Lin with both hands.
The Empress Dowager Qi, who came out of the main hall, saw this scene, her face turned pale, and she said in a trembling voice: "Presumptuous!" ”
Hearing this, Princess Roujia immediately put her hands behind her back, and shouted pitifully: "Imperial grandmother, it's all her ......"
Shen Rong had already knelt on the ground and lowered his face: "It's all the fault of the courtiers, it's all the fault of the courtiers." ”
Rou Jia hurriedly echoed: "Imperial grandmother, you heard it, it's all her!" ”
Empress Dowager Qi angrily shook off Princess Roujia, who was entangled, and instructed Mama Lin: "Don't help the county lord up yet!" ”
When Shen Rongjiang stood firm, he slowly raised his face.
The red, swollen cheeks were shocking.
"Get on your knees!" Empress Dowager Qi said suddenly.
Princess Roujia raised her face unconsciously, and said to Shen Rong: "Didn't you hear? Don't kneel yet! ”
"Evil obstacle! You get on your knees! Empress Dowager Qi pointed directly at Princess Roujia.
Empress Dowager Qi looked at Shen Rong's injured cheeks distressedly, Shen Rong was her future granddaughter-in-law, and she mourned: "Look at what this good-looking little face has swollen into, Mama Lin, don't hurry up and bring ice cubes!" ”
hurriedly asked the palace people to help Shen Rong back to the house to rest.
Princess Roujia raised her eyes more and more aggrieved, and saw the Empress Dowager Qi waving her hand: "Stay in your palace for a month, don't come out!" ”
The implication is to ban her feet for a month.
Shen Rong was helped into the house, she sat on the soft couch, and secretly calculated the time in her heart, at this time, the county lord of Anning should also go back to the palace.
After a while, Mama Lin wrapped ice cubes in a cloth towel and wanted to cover Shen Rong's face in person, muttering in her mouth: "The county lord is so blessed, the slave maid has never seen the queen mother care about which princess is so attentive." ”
Shen Rong tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Thanks to the Queen Mother's love, Mama is the most powerful Mama by the Queen Mother's side, the Queen Mother is not waiting for you by your side, and she doesn't care, Mama, you go and get busy, I can do it myself." ”
As she spoke, she took the ice cube from Mama Lin's hand and applied it herself.
Mama Lin nodded and said with a smile: "No wonder the county lord likes the queen mother, the county lord will hurt people, so the slave will go to serve the queen mother." ”
Shen Rong nodded and watched Mama Lin leave with his own eyes.
She dismissed the palace people in the house again, looked at the cloth towel wrapped in ice cubes in her hand, shook her hand and put it down, and paced in the room with an uneasy heart.
She believes that Xie Yu will definitely solve this matter.
However, if Xie Kun failed to return from the emperor's side, Empress Dowager Qi would not let her have a good time.
Now the reason why the Empress Dowager Qi spoils her is because she is still useful, if she is useless to the Empress Dowager Qi...... With Empress Dowager Qi's methods, she will definitely find a way to deal with her.
So no matter what the outcome is over there, the best strategy is for her to leave Shoukang Palace first.
Her relationship with Xie Kun is complete, and when she returns to Shoukang Palace, it can be said that she will go out for a walk.
If it doesn't work, then she will have another idea.
Sitting down, she gently opened the door, and the two palace maids waiting at the door saluted her and asked her what she commanded.
Shen Rong's biggest advantage in Shoukang Palace is that Empress Dowager Qi spoils her, and the servants in Shoukang Palace respect her and are afraid of her.
Shen Rong waved his hand, and his voice was low: "I want to go alone, don't follow me." ”
She has just been wronged, and it is normal for people to want to disperse.
The palace ladies paused and did not dare to follow.
She was afraid that she would meet Xie Kun coming back halfway, so she quietly quickened her pace, stepped out of Shoukang Palace like a wind, and immediately chose a corner path to walk. R1152
