273 Beauty is like a wolf
Concubine Lian entered Guo's mansion, and when she was introduced to Mrs. Guo and others, Li Weiyang just said: "This is my old friend in the Great Calendar, named Leng Lian, after His Majesty issued the expulsion order this time, she had to be forced to leave Dadu, and met me by chance. Because of my poor health, I can't leave with the big team immediately, and I want to hide in our house for a while. ”
Listening to what Li Weiyang said, Mrs. Guo did not doubt it. Although His Majesty issued an expulsion order, there were too many people in the Great Calendar in the west of Yuexi, and many of them were related to each other. Not to mention that wealthy families like them are more or less hidden, even ordinary people will occasionally take in such people in their homes, but they need to take some risks. But what Li Weiyang said, how could Mrs. Guo refuse?
Mrs. Guo took a closer look at the woman named Leng Lian. I only felt that her face was dignified and beautiful, and the country was fragrant, and when she stood there, she was like a peony cage smoke, and the flowers and trees were piling up snow, comparing the young and beautiful Princess Ali who was originally standing next to her, and couldn't help but secretly admire: "I have seen so many girls, and it is the first time I have seen a woman like Miss Leng, it is really stunning!" ”
Concubine Lian, no, she should be called Leng Lian now, she heard Mrs. Guo's admiration, and just smiled slightly: "Mrs. Guo praised it falsely." ”
Seeing that she didn't talk much and behaved very dignifiedly, Mrs. Guo nodded and said to Li Weiyang: "Just let her live in the peony house near you, and I will tell the maids to clean up and let her live in it." After speaking, she turned her head to Leng Lian and said, "You are Jia'er's friend, and like my daughter, the maidservants here are not attentive to you, or if you have any other needs, you can tell me at any time." ”
Leng Lian hurriedly thanked Mrs. Guo, her face was full of gratitude, and there were some tears hidden in her eyes, which made her look more and more moving.
Mrs. Guo liked this decent and beautiful young lady even more, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Jia'er, I told them to prepare, and you two should catch up with the old days." ”
Li Weiyang nodded and watched Mrs. Guo leave.
Leng Lian looked at Li Weiyang's side face, with a hint of envy in her eyes: "Mrs. Guo is gentle and kind, and she treats people kindly, and she can see that she loves you very much, Weiyang, you are doing well here." ”
Li Weiyang's eyes were faint, and he just chuckled lightly: "From today onwards, I will call you Leng Lian, and you will call me Guo Jia, don't mention your past name again!" "In fact, since the arrival of Yuexi, the name Weiyang has been called only Yuan Lie alone, and others either call her Miss Guo or call her Guo Jia......
Leng Lian is not a stupid person, she heard that Li Weiyang didn't want to show anything unusual in front of Mrs. Guo, so she nodded kindly and said, "Okay, I'll call you Jia'er." ”
Li Weiyang smiled faintly and ordered Zhao Yue to go outside to guard, and then made a gesture to Leng Lian and said, "Please take a seat." ”
Leng Lian was stunned, then sat down gently, looked at Li Weiyang with those beautiful eyes and said: "Thank you very much for being able to take me in this time, and thank you for looking for Xu'er for me, I just tried my luck this time, after all, the past ...... It's me who can't stand you first. As she spoke, a look of guilt and remorse appeared in her eyes.
People are all for their own sake, and in the case of the huge disparity between herself and Tuoba's real strength, it is not surprising that Concubine Lian thinks about herself and her children. Li Weiyang didn't care, and said with a warm smile: "The two of us are very fateful, you helped me a lot at the beginning, for the sake of the old love, I will also repay the favor, but I don't know where the prince was lost?" ”
Leng Lian hurriedly said: "It's on the border between Yuexi and the Great Calendar. On that day, a beggar rammed our carriage, and I was in a hurry to deal with it during the conflict, so I told the nurse to take Xu'er well, but unexpectedly she secretly took the child away. By the time I went to look for it, there was no news! The situation in the Great Calendar is very chaotic, Tuoba Yu's people are searching everywhere, if she is Tuoba Yu's people, how can she let me escape? So I don't think she can go back to the calendar, she can only go west! ”
Li Weiyang nodded, whether what Concubine Lian said was true or not, she would naturally find someone to verify. As for now, she must keep her. She looked at each other, and there was a hint of exploration in her expression: "If you can find the prince, what are your plans in the future?" ”
Leng Lian seemed to hesitate a little, paused slightly, and then said with a sad face: "What can I do, I originally entered the palace to avenge my family, but fortunately, Your Majesty has mercy and let me have something to rely on." Later, when I gave birth to Xu'er, I tried my best to be my concubine, but unexpectedly I was still involved in the royal battle, and Tuoba Yu was no longer the gentle and elegant prince he was back then. His current methods are not much better than those of Tuoba Zhen, and it is precisely because of this that I am very afraid, that is, I don't want to help him, and I don't dare to disobey him, but I still fall on the road and have to flee. I just want to find my son and find a stable place to spend the rest of my life. ”
Li Weiyang looked at Concubine Lian's delicate face, but smiled faintly, now in this situation, the more beautiful a woman is, the more she will not be willing to live a dull life, especially Concubine Lian...... Her beauty gave her great confidence and vanity, and she would not be willing to stay in the palace for the sake of glory and wealth. What's more, Concubine Lian is still very young and beautiful, and no one will believe that she is already the mother of a child, as long as she is willing, I am afraid that hundreds of men will take the initiative to bow down under her pomegranate skirt. Li Weiyang said softly: "No matter what, you have arrived here, just stay with peace of mind, I will do my best to send someone to find the prince, and I will notify you as soon as there is news." It's just that His Majesty has just issued an expulsion order, and no one in Dali can stay in Dadu, so I hope you will be very careful in your words and deeds. ”
Leng Lian was overjoyed, and hurriedly nodded: "I know this, my hometown was originally close to Yuexi, and I know a little bit about the customs and habits here, and I won't show my feet, so that outsiders can see that I am from Dali." ”
Li Weiyang got up at this time, and said to Leng Lian with a gentle smile: "You can rest well, and let the maid inform me at any time if you need anything." ”
Leng Lian sent Li Weiyang out very eagerly, watched her leave, and stood in the courtyard for a moment before turning around and entering the house.
Back in his courtyard, Li Weiyang still had to face the questioning of other people in the Guo family, Guo Dao and Guo Cheng were not as easy to deal with as Mrs. Guo, they all waited for Li Weiyang's explanation with wide eyes.
Director Guo was the first to ask, "Jia'er, where did you find such a stunning beauty?" ”
Director Guo has read countless beauties, and naturally knows that a woman like Leng Lian is by no means a young lady that ordinary people can raise. With that kind of noble and elegant temperament and fairy-like appearance, Pei Baoer is simply a porridge side dish compared to her. But she is an old friend of Li Weiyang, which is really strange, why hasn't she heard Jia'er mention it before?
It is not surprising that Director Guo will have any questions, Li Weiyang smiled faintly and said: "She used to help me when I was in the Great Calendar, her real identity is not the daughter of an official eunuch, but the princess of a small country. ”
Hearing this, the three brothers of the Guo family all looked at each other.
Li Weiyang knew that this matter was very troublesome to explain, so he didn't want to say more, but simply said: "In order to avenge the country and family hatred, she had to enter the Dali Palace and become the concubine of the old emperor, but later offended the new emperor and was forced to leave the palace." ”
Guo Cheng showed a look of surprise: "She's already married?" He remembered that most of the women in the calendar married early, did Leng Lian look twenty years old, he didn't know the actual age of the other party, but he looked like a twenty-eight girl in appearance and figure......
Concubine Lian is not only beautiful, but also very protective of her beauty, her hair has always been kept black and bright, if the palace maid combed her hair and fell out of her hair, she would be furious, and then pull people out and cut off, so later the palace maid who combed her hair would hide her hair in her sleeve to avoid death. How could such a woman be willing to live under the fence now, so she must have a plan...... Li Weiyang smiled and said: "It's not just getting married, she also has a son!" ”
Director Guo was slightly surprised, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "She is very young, and her behavior is like a daughter of a famous family, not like a woman." ”
Li Weiyang nodded and said, "Although Concubine Lian already has a child, if she doesn't tell outsiders, I'm afraid others will think that she Yunying is not married." ”
Director Guo frowned and said, "But if she is really the imperial concubine of the Great Calendar, then these things are a bit complicated." ”
Guo Dun hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty has just issued an expulsion order, and you are openly taking in a concubine of the Dali royal family, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, right?" ”
Li Weiyang smiled slightly: "As long as you don't talk about it to outsiders, who will know her identity, after all, Concubine Lian Niangniang used to stay at home in the palace, and no one will know who she is, so you don't have to worry too much about this." ”
Director Guo still felt that it was inappropriate, he looked at Li Weiyang and said seriously: "But this woman is too beautiful, and she has been alone all the way, doesn't Jia'er think it's a little strange?" ”
Li Weiyang knew that Director Guo was extraordinarily keen, so he just smiled lightly: "Yuan Lie has already gone to investigate, she was guarded by handmaids at the beginning, but when she walked to the border, those slaves and maids stole her wealth and quietly slipped away, not only that, they also planned to tie her up and sell her to raise more money, if she hadn't escaped first, I am afraid that she would have fallen into a Qinglou now." After this catastrophe, she quietly covered her face, pretending to be a hunchbacked old woman all the way into the capital, and only when she entered the city gate did she dare to wash off the dust and disguise on her face, if she hadn't happened to be seen by Princess Ali under the restaurant that day, she would not have been able to find me. ”
Director Guo nodded, a little relieved in his heart. Guo Dun couldn't help but praise: "I didn't expect this delicate girl to be quite smart." ”
Li Weiyang glanced at him and said with a smile: "Concubine Lian is not an ordinary woman!" ”
Hearing Li Weiyang say this, Guo Cheng hesitated for a moment: "She ...... this time Looks like you're looking for someone? ”
Li Weiyang smiled: "Yes, she lost her son, so I hope we can secretly look for her." ”
Guo Cheng was older after all, and asked more cautiously, "What about after you find it?" ”
Li Weiyang didn't explain too much: "After I find it...... I'll give her some gold and silver to settle her down, and that's what she's done for me in the past. ”
The other three looked at each other and felt that this arrangement was more appropriate.
Li Weiyang is right, if Concubine Lian is in the Great Calendar Deep Palace, then few people will recognize her. In addition, she is now in Guo Mansion, she will not be seen by others, and she will not cause any trouble after all, they speed up to help her find her son, and send people away as much as possible, after all, she is Guo Jia's friend, and it is not good to see death and not save her.
Director Guo walked at the end when he left, but he turned back for some reason, and he was still holding a fan in his hand in the winter, and said with a hippie smile: "Jia'er, do you have anything to hide from us?" ”
Li Weiyang didn't expect him to go and return, so he couldn't help but put down the teacup in his hand and said, "What does Fifth Brother mean by this, what do I have to hide from you?" ”
Director Guo smiled and said, "I always think that you have other plans to keep this lotus concubine, you are so smart, you can't imagine how dangerous this matter is, am I right?" ”
Li Weiyang was stunned for a moment, and sighed softly: "People say that the fifth brother is the most cunning among the sons of the Guo family, I think if this is the case, you will see the slightest clue." Yes, I kept her for another purpose. ”
Director Guo didn't expect her to admit it so happily, so he frowned lightly and said, "What do you want to do?" ”
Li Weiyang's smile added a shallow mockery: "As for what to do with her, it depends on Concubine Lian's own choice." ”
Director Guo was even more puzzled when he heard this, but no matter how he asked next, Li Weiyang refused to say more. He couldn't help but leave disappointed, and didn't forget to look back and say, "If there is anything you need my help with in this scene, or beat gongs and drums, don't forget to tell me in advance." ”
Li Weiyang smiled and waved his hand, "I know, fifth brother, I won't let you down!" ”
Seeing Director Guo leave, Li Weiyang turned his head to look at Zhao Yue and said: "In the past few days, I have paid attention to Concubine Lian's movements, her diet, daily life, living habits, and even every sentence must be recorded and told to me one by one." ”
Zhao Yue was puzzled: "Miss, are you suspicious of Concubine Lian?" ”
Li Weiyang shook his head, his face was calm: "It's not, it's just that I have another use, you don't have to ask, just do it." ”
Hearing Li Weiyang say this, although Zhao Yue was a little suspicious, she immediately responded and left.
Concubine Lian stayed in the Guo family, but her name has been changed to Leng Lian, omitting the middle word. For her arrival, everyone in the Guo family is very welcome, after all, Leng Lian has a gentle, noble and generous personality, and her speech and demeanor are outstanding, and anyone who talks to her is like a spring breeze, and it is difficult to be annoying. Especially Li Weiyang, she was almost unbelievably pleasant to Leng Lian, which made Princess Ali sullen for a while. Before Leng Lian arrived, she felt that no matter how close she was to Li Weiyang, the other party was just lukewarm, and it was not easy to warm her up, and now there was one more person to compete with her.
Because of this, Princess Ali, who had a nervous heart, locked herself in the room, and Guo Dun coaxed her several times before she gradually eased up. At the beginning, his enthusiasm for Leng Lian gradually faded, but he deliberately embarrassed her openly and secretly. Just like this time, when she saw Leng Lian enjoying the flowers in the garden, Princess Ali ran up on her feet, her little face bulging, and she said bluntly: "How long do you want to live in Guo Mansion?" ”
Leng Lian raised her eyes and glanced at Princess Ali, but she smiled gently: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I don't know what Leng Lian has offended you about and made you dislike me like this?" ”
Ali's big black grape-like eyes blinked, and she pouted in displeasure: "Since you came, Jia'er has stopped playing with me, of course I don't like you!" ”
For the first time, Leng Lian saw someone who spoke so frankly, and couldn't help but smile deeper: "Me and Weiyang, oh no, Jia'er and I are old acquaintances, we met before Princess Ali, what's so strange about having a better relationship?" Speaking of which, in fact, Leng Lian herself also had some doubts in her heart, Li Weiyang's attitude towards her was not so kind before, but why did she come to her this time to be extraordinarily kind? Is it his own delusion, or did the other party change his personality after he arrived in Yuexi...... This made her feel more and more uneasy.
Leng Lian thought of this, but her face was silent: "Jia'er and I were originally friends, Princess Ali, you and her are also very good, in this way, you are equivalent to having such a friend as me, isn't it?" ”
Ali opened her mouth and couldn't speak, obviously she was a little dazed by her, Leng Lian continued: "Jia'er's friend is my friend, from now on, I will also care about you, like you, and play with you, isn't it good?" Why be upset about my arrival? ”
Princess Ali was robbed of white, completely stunned and almost didn't know what to say, her mind was simple, she turned around, and seemed to think that it was really like this, and couldn't help but smile sincerely: "Is what you said true?" ”
Leng Lian smiled slightly, that smile was like a spring flower blooming, beautiful, and said in a kind tone: "This is nature!" ”
Princess Ali was happy again.
At this time, Li Weiyang happened to come from not far away. When she saw the scene in the gazebo, she stepped forward and said, "What are you two talking about, you are so happy, can you let me know?" ”
Leng Lian saw Li Weiyang, and hurriedly stood up with a smile: "Just talking about you, come here!" ”
Li Weiyang smiled at her and walked into the gazebo. Seeing that the table was empty, she turned her head and ordered, "Zhao Yue, tell the kitchen to make some snacks." Zhao Yue immediately complied.
Leng Lian naturally knew the interest: "Don't bother, I'm just here to sit down." ”
Li Weiyang's smile was very gentle: "I told you not to treat me as an outsider, my home is your home, and I want to make you feel comfortable and happy when you are here." ”
When Leng Lian heard the other party say this, she didn't say much, so she just sat down again with a smile.
When Zhao Yue led the maidservants to bring those refreshments, even Leng Lian couldn't help but be a little surprised. These refined pastries in front of you include sesame rolls, lotus seed cakes, Erzhen cakes, jujube paste lotus cakes, bergamot cakes, elephant trunk cakes, golden silk siu mai, walnut dew, brown sugar sakima...... The condition is even more exquisite than the ones he has eaten in the palace. She glanced at it, suppressed the surprise in her eyes, and said: "These two precious cakes, I remember that when Your Majesty was there, I ordered the kitchen to make it for me alone, but I didn't expect that everyone would imitate it later, and it would spread all over the world." Now even Yuexi can eat it, but the taste is probably not so authentic......" she said, gently twisting a piece and sending it to her mouth, but she only felt that it melted in her mouth and was very sweet, and the familiar feeling made her stunned, and then turned her head to look at Li Weiyang, and said, "Jia'er, you cook...... Where did you get it? ”
Li Weiyang smiled calmly: "I don't like the food here after I came to Yuexi, and I always miss the food of my homeland, especially the Erzhen cake." Later, my mother did everything possible to invite a royal chef from the Great Calendar who returned to his hometown. ”
Leng Lian nodded hurriedly and said, "It's very authentic, Mrs. Guo really has a heart." ”
Princess Ali pursed her lips and said, "What are these two precious cakes, my favorite is this one!" As she spoke, she pointed to the cherry crisp next to her that was bright and bright and looked very attractive in color.
When Leng Lian heard her say this, she also tried it, and couldn't help but widen her eyes and said in surprise: "This dim sum is so delicious, but it is a hundred times better than what I tasted in the palace before!" It seems that Mrs. Guo has really put a lot of effort into pleasing you! ”
Li Weiyang's smile was very flat and he didn't say anything.
Leng Lian saw it in her eyes, but her heart couldn't help but be a little sour, like her own appearance, she was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her scheming methods were not inferior to anyone at all. With such talent, she should be a first-class talent everywhere, and she was held in the palm of her hand and cared for by thousands of people, but as soon as the old emperor died, she suddenly turned sharply, from a high concubine to a widow! Tuoba Yu also pursued her everywhere, so that she had to go into exile to Yuexi, there was no good food to eat and sleep well along the way, and she was even more scared, and there was almost no way to survive! In order to avoid the covetousness of the wicked, she had to disguise herself as a hunchbacked beggar. It wasn't until I entered the capital that I changed my makeup. Now because he has no long things, even if he has a stunning appearance, he has no money to dress up. This is the same reason as dressing up a stunning beauty but deliberately locking up in a room without a bronze mirror, which is simply painful!
After arriving at Guo's Mansion, Leng Lian saw with her own eyes that everyone loved Li Weiyang so much, and she almost hated to hold all the treasures in the world in front of her. Once, when I saw that the rouge on Li Weiyang's face was extremely beautiful, I opened my mouth to inquire and found out that Mrs. Guo specially picked out one or twenty catties of the purest and freshest from hundreds of peony petals to make rouge and give it to Li Weiyang...... She remembered that she had once entered Li Weiyang's bedroom, and only saw the treasures and utensils that made people almost unable to open their eyes, many of which she had never seen or owned in the palace, which showed that the wealth of the nobles of Yuexi for a hundred years was not inferior to the Dali royal family.
I thought I hadn't seen anything as a princess back then, and what was so rare! After entering the Dali Palace, he couldn't help but understand the truth that there are people outside the world, and it was even more eye-opening when he arrived at the Guo family, who had been rich and noble for generations. Leng Lian is noble on the outside, but in her bones she is indeed a person who is greedy for vanity and enjoys wealth, and she can't bear the dull and boring life no matter what. Thinking that she would one day leave the Guo family and become self-reliant, she couldn't help but feel that her scalp was tight, so she had to smile at Li Weiyang and said: "In the past, I only used to be a frog at the bottom of the well, but I didn't know that Yuexi was rich and noble far above the calendar. Recently, I spent some time at Guo's house to understand the gap. Jia'er is really lucky, moving from one nest of blessings to another, I am very envious! ”
Li Weiyang listened to what she said, but smiled faintly: "This is all the extra care of my parents." ”
At this time, it was winter, although the Guo family's garden was very beautiful, but the branches and leaves on the trees were still scattered, and there was a thin layer of ice on the lake, and the bright light reflected a bleak light on the ice. I only heard Leng Lian sigh and said, "Unconsciously, winter has really arrived." ”
Li Weiyang and Princess Ali glanced at each other and saw each other's faces full of puzzlement. Li Weiyang sighed lightly and said, "Regarding the little prince, I have carefully searched for him, but unfortunately there is no whereabouts for the time being. ”
The little prince? Leng Lian was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and hurriedly covered her embarrassment with a smile, and said, "Oh, then thank you very much." I'm really worried about Xu'er, I don't know if he will fall into the wrong hands. ”
Li Weiyang's eyes are bright, Leng Lian has been enjoying wealth and nobility on the high bed and soft pillow in Guofu these days, but there is no insomnia for half a day. She had seen mothers who had lost their children, and they were all tossing and turning, worried. However, this lotus concubine bloomed like a blooming flower, and she did not feel the pain of losing her son at all. If she, as a mother, doesn't care about Tuoba Xu at all, it's impossible...... Li Weiyang thought about it, and his eyes fell on the green shadow under Concubine Lian's eyes.
Before going out, Concubine Lian deliberately added two more layers of powder to her face and put some shadows, obviously to make a haggard appearance in front of herself, it seems that this acting is still very good! Although Li Weiyang is a very cautious and cautious person, he has already been keeping an eye on Concubine Lian for twelve hours and reporting her daily life to 1510. It's a pity that Concubine Lian is also very shrewd, and she does everything herself, and rarely uses the maidservants of the Guo family......
Li Weiyang said with great concern: "Leng Lian, you can rest assured, the little prince Jiren Tianxiang will definitely be fine, I think he will soon be able to return to his mother's side safely." ”
Concubine Lian seemed to be about to cry in her eyes, so she quickly wiped it before she whispered, "I hope so." ”
Li Weiyang's smile slowly appeared in his eyes, but his face was a little worried: "There are some words, I don't know if I should say them or not." ”
Leng Lian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "If there is anything else that should not be said between us, you can just tell the truth." ”
Li Weiyang sighed, but his eyes were firmly fixed on the other party's beautiful face, taking in every change in her expression: "I think about it again, if you find Xu'er in the future, where will you take him?" Now that you can't go back to the calendar, as for Yuexi, His Majesty has issued an expulsion order, I'm afraid that you won't be able to stay in the Guo family for a long time. When the time comes, you are a weak woman, alone with a child, who can you rely on? Every time I think about it, I worry about you! ”
When Princess Ali heard this, she almost forgot her previous suspicions, and said with some sympathy: "Yes, what can you do if you don't have support?" It is simply impossible for a lone woman to raise a child! ”
Seeing that they were concerned, Leng Lian just said helplessly: "I haven't had time to think about this yet, so I can only take one step at a time, and find Xu'er first." In the future, we mother and son will have to rely on each other for their lives, even if they beg on the street, I will bring the child up......," she said, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
Princess Ali was even more sympathetic, and immediately forgot about her original unhappiness, and even took out her own handkerchief to wipe away the tears of the other party, and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, Jia'er and I will think of helping you." Didn't you say that we are friends, how can we let you be left behind! ”
Concubine Lian raised her head and looked at Princess Ali, her beautiful eyes full of gratitude.
I only heard Li Weiyang sigh and say: "Begging along the street, where is the life of a woman like you......" As he spoke, Li Weiyang gently took her hand and held it in his palm, "Such a youth, I should have shared the love and affection with my beloved, but now I ...... What a pity! ”
Leng Lian's snow-white face trembled, but she still didn't make a sound, but her head hung deeper unconsciously.
Li Weiyang continued: "If you stay in the calendar, I'm afraid you won't be able to remarry for the rest of your life, what ...... now" Before she finished speaking, Princess Ali came to her senses and immediately said in surprise: "Yes, Leng Lian, you can remarry in the future!" We don't have so many scruples on the grassland, and when our husband is dead, why can't we find another home? ”
Leng Lian seemed to be stunned by this shocking thought, and she immediately refuted: "No! It's impossible! I'm already married, and that person is still ......," she said, but her face turned red.
Li Weiyang's smile was even more cordial: "You are in Yuexi, and no one knows you, of course you can start over, isn't it easy to find a good home with your beauty?" ”
Leng Lian couldn't help but think in her heart that she was indeed extremely beautiful, but it was a pity that she had no identity as a lady from a famous family, and no wealthy family as her background, plus she had already married and had children, so who was willing to marry her? Those copper-smelling merchants? She can't look down on her in any way. Ordinary officials? She is a princess of a country, how can she be willing to give in. If it wasn't for revenge, she wouldn't have taken a fancy to the middle-aged old emperor. Every time she thought of this, she couldn't help but feel sick. Now that she has arrived at the Guo family, she sees that the three sons of the Guo family are all handsome, civil and military, and if she uses her means, she may not be able to lure her, but these three people are very respectful when they see her but refuse to be thousands of miles away, guessing that they all know her past, which makes her heart chill.
But Li Weiyang's words made her already dead heart start to come alive again......
Li Weiyang saw that her expression was changing, and sighed: "Alas, we shouldn't say such things, Princess Ali, maybe Leng Lian wants to keep the festival for her husband." ”
Princess Ali looked at Leng Lian and said in surprise: "Do you really want to keep the festival?" Think about it, how pitiful it is to live alone in a lifetime! You are born more beautiful than the stars in the night sky, and if you are in the grassland, I don't know how many people will rush to marry you! ”
Princess Ali's heartfelt words made Leng Lian's cheeks redder even more. She lowered her head, her body kept trembling, and finally she couldn't help but say, "I don't want to do this either, but in this situation, who can I rely on?" As she spoke, she fell into tears on Li Weiyang's left shoulder.
Li Weiyang patted her back comfortingly, but his smile was more gentle: "Since you come to join me, I naturally won't ignore you, and I will take care of your life in the Guo family from now on, and if you have a good home in the future, I will also plan carefully for you." There were three more points of temptation in her tone: "As long as you want, I can find the best candidate for you." ”
As she said this, Leng Lian's body trembled more and more, Li Weiyang gently lifted her jaw with her hand, facing her teary eyes, stretched out her hand to carefully wipe away her tears, and sighed: "Such a beauty, who can bear to let you suffer?" As long as you have the heart, it is not easy to find a good home......"
Concubine Lian was stunned for a moment, and then lowered her head in panic.
Princess Ali looked at Li Weiyang in shock, she had never seen the other party speak in such an inducing tone, the gentle feeling seemed to be sweeter than the snack she had just eaten, Leng Lian had already stopped crying, but there were still tears on her eyelashes: "But...... But I still have Xu'er. ”
Li Weiyang smiled: "After finding Xu'er, you can find a family to entrust him and send some money and goods regularly, so that he can thrive." Is it happier to have your child with you as a young widow, or to stay in a family with both parents? If you just guard him, with your beauty in the troubled times, how can people let you go lightly, but hurt this child. On the other hand, if you marry in the future, you will have other children......"
Concubine Lian was stunned for a moment, and seemed to carefully consider the possibility that Li Weiyang said, her eyes were crystal as if the stars in the sky had fallen into it, but she finally just said: "I don't think about remarrying, I just hope to find my son back......"
Li Weiyang carefully observed Leng Lian's expression from beginning to end, and never let go of the slightest change in her face. She knew very well that no mother would give up her child lightly, even if it was the woman in front of her who was bent on regaining her wealth, but Leng Lian actually lost Tuoba Xu on the way to escape, is this possible? What kind of scheming is the other party, will be calculated by a nurse? If you were so stupid, you wouldn't know how many times you died along the way.
Leng Lian's eyes were swollen from crying when she left. Princess Ali was completely puzzled, she didn't understand how the topic changed so quickly, first the food, and then Leng Lian's life. Then why did Leng Lian cry so sadly? obviously said that she didn't want to marry, so it would be better not to marry, and no one forced her, but her head couldn't hold a lot after all. When Li Weiyang instructed the maidservant to pack all the pastries for the princess and eat them, Princess Ali threw all the unhappiness aside and didn't think about it.
As soon as Li Weiyang stood up, he heard a report: "His Royal Highness King Xu has arrived!" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Yuan Lie, dressed in a gorgeous costume, and walked in with a graceful demeanor. He saw Li Weiyang's eyes blink, and smiled narrowly: "Were you tempting Leng Lian again just now?" ”
When Li Weiyang heard him say this, he clearly saw what he had just done. She said disapprerovingly: "This is not called temptation, it is guided by the situation." ”
Yuan Lie sighed, sat down beside her and said, "I really want to know, why do you want to take her in when you know that the other party has ulterior motives to approach you?" Not only that, but what is the purpose of that coquettish gesture just now? ”
Li Weiyang looked at him with a shallow smile: "Of course, maternal love in this world is great, but there are also individual women who can do anything for the sake of glory and wealth." Didn't you notice Leng Lian's expression just now? When she talked about me, she was extremely envious and jealous, and when she talked about Tuoba Xu, although she tried her best to show her concern, it made people feel very fake, and I could not see the slightest concern for the disappearance of the child in her eyes. As for me talking about remarrying, she was obviously moved, but she could only cover it up with tears, and this series of expressions already made me doubt her intentions! ”
Yuan Lie nodded and pondered, "Leng Lian is a very smart woman, but she is too eager to show her feet. ”
Li Weiyang smiled faintly: "She can have other intentions, and I can also use it in reverse, isn't it appropriate?" ”
Yuan Lie saw that she was smiling gently and lovely, but there was a cold glint in her eyes, and she also smiled: "I believe that no one can bargain with you!" ”
At this time in the palace, Ying Chu entered the main hall, bowed down, and said, "I've seen the queen mother!" ”
Pei Hou smiled faintly, pointed to a chair under the steps, and said, "Sit down." ”
Ying Chu thanked the queen for giving him a seat, and then said with a smile: "Niangniang, that person has already entered the Guo Mansion." ”
"Oh, you're in the Guo Mansion?" Pei showed a satisfied look on the back: "I've been thinking about this for the past few days, and I don't know if I can succeed!" ”
Ying Chu said that he had sent someone to keep an eye on him, and then said: "Don't worry, that Li Weiyang had a relationship with Concubine Lian during the Great Calendar, so she was suspicious of three points first, not to mention that a child was involved...... No matter how ruthless she is, it is not easy for her to refuse people thousands of miles away. The most important thing is that Concubine Lian knows a lot of her secrets, she will not give such a handle to others, only under her nose to monitor, it is the safest, so whether she believes in Concubine Lian or not, she will bring the other party into the mansion. ”
Empress Pei smiled slightly, this qiē had already been expected by her. But things may not be so smooth, she thought for a moment before she said, "But how will Concubine Lian gain her trust next?" ”
Ying Chu smiled coldly and said, "You don't need to trust to make it happen!" ”
Empress Pei couldn't help but sit up straight, and her eyebrows were slightly raised: "So confident? ”
Half of Ying Chu's mask shone with silver light: "It took me a lot of effort to support Tuoba Yu to ascend the throne, and let him expel Concubine Lian, and finally set a trap and caught this woman on the road, she is also cunning, and she was cornered by me, but she still knows how to negotiate terms with me." I coerced and lured her to agree, and thought of a way to send her to Beijing, and then create an encounter for Li Weiyang to take her into the house. It doesn't really matter what happens next, even if Li Weiyang doesn't trust her, and even suspects her intentions, it doesn't hinder our plan in the slightest. ”
Pei Hou pulled out a sarcastic smile: "Li Weiyang is a very smart person, you don't take it lightly." ”
Ying Chu's face showed a confident look, but his eyes looked a little cold, and he said slowly: "Confidence and arrogance are completely different things, self-confidence comes from mastering everything, and arrogance is blind optimism. Niangniang, don't worry, I have already arranged the rest of the qiē, and I can challenge her only when I wait for Her Majesty's birthday feast. When the time comes, she will definitely be convicted of traitor! ”
Empress Pei's beautiful eyebrows showed a hint of interest: "Just taking in the Dali people who His Majesty wants to expel is already a big crime, but this Dali people are still from the royal concubine." Once this matter spreads, it will definitely cause an uproar, and Qi Guogong would never have thought that his daughter would lead a wolf into the house, and she would still be a hungry wolf wearing a beautiful skin! She said this, but laughed softly.
Ying Chu stood up and said solemnly: "Niangniang, the next action is very important to us, Weichen has a reluctant request, please Niangniang agree." ”
Empress Pei glanced at him and said thoughtfully, "Say it." ”
Ying Chu said seriously: "Please don't sue the prince for the time being about this matter, so as not to spoil the big thing." ”
Empress Pei sighed, she had involved the prince in her previous plans, but this son was too uncontrollable and always showed his truth at critical moments. Ying Chu's concerns are not unreasonable, this time it must be done confidentially, and the prince can't let the prince do any more bad things, although he felt that Ying Chu was making a big fuss, but Pei Hou still nodded quietly and said: "This matter, I have let you deal with it with all the powers, you can decide for yourself!" ”
After speaking, Pei Hou stood up and walked to a pot of peony flowers, the slender jade fingers folded one at random, put it under his nose and sniffed it gently, and inadvertently turned his head, his cold face revealed a little solemn aura, but in Ying Chu's eyes, there was an indescribable charm, and the beauty was so cold that it slashed into his heart like a blade, and it hurt faintly. She looked at Ying Chu and said, "After the matter is completed, this woman will never be able to stay, understand?" ”
Ying Chu lowered his head deeply and replied: "Please rest assured, Weichen will never leave any troubles, this time it will be done cleanly and decently, so that Your Majesty has nothing to say." ”
Empress Pei smiled, and personally stepped forward to help Ying Chu, with a dazzling brilliance on her smile, and her tone was also rare and soft: "You have followed me for so many years, of course I believe in you, and I will entrust it to you." Take care of your errands, I won't treat you badly. ”
Ying Chu's heart trembled, and he said with a smile: "Weichen will definitely live up to his mother's trust!" ”
At this time, the prince had already arrived at the gate of the palace, but was stopped by the trembling palace maid.
The prince's face changed, and he said coldly: "I'm here to see the queen mother!" The palace maid lowered her head and forcibly concealed her uneasiness and said: "Your Highness, Lord Win is seeing the queen mother inside, and the lady has ordered that no one can enter without permission." ”
The prince said with a gloomy face: "You can't eat the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard, and anyone the queen mother said includes me?" ”
The palace maid's body trembled even more, but she didn't dare to walk away.
The prince was furious, and suddenly raised his foot and knocked the palace maid to the ground, and he had already broken in.

Special thanks to Yusuqing for the reward, and at the same time I would like to thank the children who have been voting for me this month, I feel very moved
PS: Someone asked me if Concubine Lian was a corpse fraud, as mentioned earlier, Li Weiyang once used the crime of murdering the imperial concubine to hunt down Tuoba Zhen, in fact, this is just Li Weiyang framing, and there is no mention of the scene where Concubine Lian lost her breath, if it is really a corpse, it means that this article has a fantasy color, cough cough cough......
