Chapter 55: The Incredible Past Is Not to Blame
"Auntie, me".
"What are you, can you talk nonsense about this kind of thing? Not to mention the reputation of your daughter's family, even your husband's family will be involved, besides, what an occasion today, how can you be so rude, why don't you ask the emperor and the queen mother for guilt", Concubine Yun interrupted Shui Lianyue sharply, and pulled her forward in a few steps.
"Don't kneel down quickly and ask the queen mother for guilt", Concubine Yun saw that Shui Lianyue was still standing, without the slightest intention of kneeling, her fingers couldn't help twisting her arm, and shouted again.
"Hey, the minister looks at Miss Shui seems to be very reluctant, maybe there is something unspeakable, Concubine Yun might as well ask, and it is not too late to ask her to ask for guilt?"
Just when Shui Lianyue wanted to break away from Concubine Yun, suddenly, a person stood up in the banquet behind him, and slowly spoke, Shui Lianyue heard the sound and looked at it, but saw that he was tall and elegant, his eyebrows were like ink paintings, his skin was as delicate as a porcelain bottle, his eyes were full of gentle smiles, shallow and tired, and his every move was kind and pleasant.
Who is he?
Shui Lianyue listened to this voice, very familiar, it seemed that she had heard it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while, just when she retracted her gaze, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Nangong Yu, only to see him pouring wine for himself without slowness, and there was no emotion on his face, as if what was happening now had nothing to do with him, neither blocking nor expressing any opinions, as if watching a play.
The more Nangong Yu is like this, the more anxious Shui Lianyue is to cancel the marriage contract, he is not her dish, not from the beginning.
"Oh? What do you have to hide? Do you have to say "? Concubine Yun's face was full of doubts, she glanced at the person who spoke, and then turned her head to ask Shui Lianyue.
"Auntie, actually, what the imperial concubine said is right, she will talk about things today, so as not to be criticized in the future", Shui Lianyue slowly lowered her head, looking helpless, which really made people feel pity.
"Wan'er, this aunt is about to talk about you, what kind of occasion is there today, is there anything that can't be resolved privately? In front of the envoys and civil and military officials of various countries, how do you let Yue'er step down? She is still a girl who has not yet come out of the cabinet", Concubine Yun seemed to be angry, seemed to be a little aggrieved, and in a few words, she put all the faults on Situ Wan's body, and even Shui Lianyue had to praise in her heart, sure enough, she was a woman who had been in the inner courtyard of the deep palace, and she did everything she did.
Situ Wan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the Queen Mother's mouth, "My sister said yes", the Queen Mother smiled slightly, and then looked at Situ Wan, her eyes quickly flashed a coldness, "Wan'er, you too, today is the birthday banquet of the mourning family, what is the matter being solved in private, don't mention the matter just now, today's mourning family's birthday banquet, and envoys from various countries are not far away, they must eat and drink well, and they will be entertained."
"Yes", all the palace maids and eunuchs present saluted and replied.
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she waved her hand to the palace maid beside her, looked at Shui Lianyue and said with a kind smile: "No matter what the matter is, rumors are rumors, there will always be a self-defeating day, come, the mourning family will reward you with this exquisite jade, and after the marriage is held, it will be a family, and there will be many days in the palace in the future, and the mourning family will talk to you slowly, hehe."
The palace maid slowly walked in front of Shui Lianyue with the exquisite jade, but Shui Lianyue was stupid, she never thought that this matter would be solved after Concubine Yun said a few words.
"Yue'er, don't thank you yet"? Concubine Yun pushed Shui Lianyue, she came back to her senses, reached out to take the tray handed by the palace maid, slowly knelt down and thanked her, and returned to her place in the banquet.
She still hasn't slowed down, I don't know if her thinking can't keep up with the past, or if things are moving too fast? It makes her feel incredible, doesn't the royal family care about Qingyu the most? Why not pursue it? Why? Let it go so lightly?
"The Queen Mother, the minister specially prepared a program for the Queen Mother, implying that the Queen Mother wishes a long life", the man who spoke was the man who had just opened his mouth to rescue Shui Lianyue, Chen Yixuan, the king of Nanyang County.
The Queen Mother smiled again, heard that someone was preparing a show, glanced at Chen Yixuan, and nodded even more amiably: "King Xiang has a heart, but doesn't it mean that there will be a program for women?"
"Don't worry about the queen mother, wait a minute, I will summon the female dependents to prepare the program and congratulate the queen mother on her birthday", Nangong Ling finished speaking, glanced at Chen Yixuan, smiled faintly and nodded in response.
"Well, the mourning family is not in a hurry, it is them who are anxious, and they are there, hehe", the queen mother pointed to the female dependents, and then pointed to the man's side, and smiled helplessly, "Look at the princes and princes, their necks are about to lengthen, hey, I hope Ning'er's idea is right this time."
"Queen Mother, Ning'er has been eccentric since she was a child, and you believe in her idea"? Nangong Ling still doesn't hide the doting look in her eyes, you must know that Nangong Ning'er is not the queen mother's biological daughter, but born to Xuan Concubine, it's just that Xuan Concubine had a difficult birth, and she passed away after giving birth to a princess, so Nangong Ning'er was raised by the queen mother's side since she was a child, and she naturally regarded it as her own child, not to mention, Nangong Ning'er is well-behaved and sensible, and eccentric, it is difficult not to like it.
"Ning'er's words, the mourning family doesn't believe it, besides, what she said this time is very reasonable, since ancient times, the words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders, the married ones are often not their own belovers, and they can have such an opportunity, and the mourning family is also happy to see that the lovers will eventually become dependents", the queen mother said, and suddenly her thoughts were complicated, and she didn't even know that the wine glass in her hand was spilling wine.
Nangong Ling saw that the queen mother was out of shape, and glanced at the palace maid beside her, and under the prompting of the palace maid, the queen mother came back to her senses, and after covering up, she asked Chen Yixuan to arrange the show.
