Chapter 243: Unwilling
Su Nian's sedan chair came all the way to Cining Palace, and the palace maid informed her that she went in, and then Su Nian slowly walked in under the guidance of the palace maid.
The tip of his nose smelled a faint scent of sandalwood, Su Nian lowered his head, his body was light and soothing, and when he came to the Queen Mother, Su Nian knelt down: "Courtier Shen Sunian, see the Queen Mother." ”
"Get up." The Queen Mother's voice was a little low, and Su Nian stood up.
"Sit down."
Su Nian only sat next to one corner of the embroidered pier, his hands naturally hanging on his knees, his back was straight, and his temperament was dignified.
The Queen Mother nodded in her heart, and said that Xiao Ge married a lowly medical girl, and it seems that today it is not so unbearable.
"Look up." Su Nian slowly raised his head obediently, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Strictly speaking, Su Nian's face is not flattering, but rather dignified and dignified, smart and beautiful, plus Su Nian deliberately took care of the atmosphere when applying makeup today, the Queen Mother only glanced at it, and nodded lightly with a smile: "Sure enough, he is a moving and virtuous person, General Xiao is so blessed." ”
"The Queen Mother praised it falsely."
"The mourning family only heard that Mrs. Xiao understands medical science and is a rare doctor, but I didn't expect to have such a posture, no wonder General Xiao insisted on marrying Mrs. Xiao."
"Let the Queen Mother make fun of me." Su Nian lowered his head gently, as if he didn't understand the meaning of the Queen Mother's words at all.
"Mrs. Xiao, do you know why the mourning family called you here today?"
"The courtiers are stupid, and they still hope that the mother will make it clear."
"There is a woman named Lu Xuemei under the knee of the mourning family, who is jade and ice-clear, and Bing Xue is smart. The mourning family wanted to point her out to General Xiao so that he could enjoy the joy of all people. What do you think? ”
Su Nian got up and knelt down: "Queen Mother, the courtier's daughter has just married into the Xiao family for less than a year. In addition to her husband, there is no shortage of young talents in the Li Dynasty who have not yet married, since the mother loves Miss Xuemei so much, why should she be a concubine? ”
The Queen Mother was stunned, did she say that she was a concubine? She originally wanted to give her a flat wife.
"The Queen Mother, the husband often said to the courtiers that people must be heroic and righteous in order to be able to stand in the world, although the courtiers are a woman. But I also admired my husband's idea very much. The Qing is since the Qing Dynasty, although the husband has been idle at home recently, but he has also said to his courtiers that the emperor is a rare saint, and with this Ming Jun, he will not worry at all. ”
Su Nian raised his head, and there was a faint sadness on his face as smooth as jade: "Queen Mother, my mother has already told me about Miss Lu, and Miss Lu told her that she can keep the Xiao family safe." The mother promised it for the Xiao family, but after the husband knew about it, he didn't want it to be so, the husband said. Their Xiao family doesn't need a woman to calm down, this is disloyalty to the emperor and a dereliction of responsibility to our Li Dynasty! ”
Su Nian's sentences are as firm as iron. His face was resolute, and there seemed to be a faint tear in his eyes. Her body knelt straight, and her haughty demeanor was on display. Let the Queen Mother's heart be strongly shaken.
"The Queen Mother, the courtiers know that Miss Lu is instructed by the Queen Mother's kindness, and wants to save our Xiao family from fire and water, but the courtiers can't ignore Miss Lu's life happiness because of their own safety, Niangniang, Miss Lu is the daughter of a former courtier, and it is her blessing to be able to raise her under the knees of Niangniang, and the spirit of Miss Lu's parents in heaven will definitely not want their daughter to become a concubine......"
At this moment, Su Nian's face turned into a shallow sadness again, all of which revealed sympathy for Lu Xuemei.
The Queen Mother was stunned for a while before she said faintly: "So, are you unwilling?" ”
"Yes, the courtiers are unwilling! The courtiers don't want their husbands to be pointed at behind their backs in the future, and they don't want their husbands' fame to be stained in any way, but if the husband agrees, the courtiers have no complaints! ”
The righteous Ling Ran's words made the Queen Mother silent again, which was too different from what she heard......
"But how did I hear that it was the old lady of the Xiao family who took the initiative to deliver the words to Xuemei, saying that Xiao Ge had agreed?"
Su Nian suddenly raised a smile: "Queen Mother, I know my mother's body best, many years ago Su Nian became attached to her old man because of her mother's illness, and it is absolutely impossible for her mother's body to leave the Xiao Mansion, so she has lived in the inner house for a long time, and she has not asked about affairs for a long time, how can she know these things, and how can she deliver the news to Miss Lu's hands?" ”
"You get up first, come on, go and call Xuemei." The Queen Mother was a little impatient in her heart, why was this matter so troublesome? It seems that this matter has been closed before, why did it come up again?
Lu Xuemei appeared quickly, and when she saw Su Nian's beautiful appearance standing aside, her heart suddenly changed, why did the Queen Mother come to her? Shouldn't she be avoiding this? With the pressure of the Queen Mother, how can Shen Sunian still have two words?
"Xuemei, did you take the initiative to find Old Madam Xiao, or did Old Madam Xiao give you the message?" The Queen Mother is impatient and always goes around, and when she comes up, she asks the point.
Lu Xuemei's heart was shocked, how could she talk about this?! What does it matter who delivers it? Didn't the Queen Mother say, she just asked Shen Sunian to ask her, so that she knew that she had the support of the Queen Mother? !
"It's ......, it's the words that Old Madam Xiao handed to Xuemei." Lu Xuemei lowered her head and replied.
"Then how did Mrs. Shen say that you passed on the words to Old Madam Xiao first?"
"Xuemei accompanies the Queen Mother every day, how can she spread the word? Shen Niangzi, if you don't want Xuemei to enter the Xiao Mansion, you can say that you don't want to, but why do you want to smear me? Lu Xuemei's expression was sad, and she looked at Su Nian as if she had been wronged.
Su Nian also smiled at Lu Xuemei, only looked at her fixedly, and after seeing that her eyes moved away unnaturally, she turned to the Queen Mother, "The Queen Mother, Miss Lu said that it was the husband who wanted to marry her, so whether it was or not, as long as you ask the husband, you will know, and the courtiers know that this may not be polite, but in this way, you can return Miss Lu's innocence, and ask the Queen Mother for permission." ”
"Nope! Niangniang, Xuemei has been clean since she was a child, and she abides by women's morals, how can she ask a man about such shameless things before she gets married? Mother, Xuemei doesn't want to! ”
"The queen mother, the courtiers heard that the mother's preference for cold plum and arrogant bones, ice and jade bones, so naturally everything wants to be transparent and true, rather than being kept in the dark, the courtiers are willing to do their best to cooperate with the mother to find out this matter, and ask the mother to decide."
Two women knelt in the hall, one was a woman who had been raised by her side for many years, and the other was a woman who was clean and upright all over her body, and the Queen Mother was a little unable to make up her mind for a while.
Lu Xuemei clutched her knee dress, her palms were covered with cold sweat, she never understood why this happened, isn't it a very simple thing? How could Shen Sunian turn the situation like this in front of the Queen Mother? How dare she be so presumptuous! When I saw the Queen Mother, I was so scared that I couldn't help myself, what kind of woman was she!
"The emperor has arrived~!" Outside Cining Palace, the sharp voice of a eunuch was heard, and Su Nian and Lu Xuemei immediately got up from the ground and retreated to the side to greet the holy driver.
The emperor's bright yellow robe passed in front of Su Nian's eyes, and then there was a blue and ink-colored robe, which was ...... color and somewhat familiar......
Su Nian quietly raised his eyes, facing Xiao Ge's eyes, which were terrifyingly bright.
The speed at which the emperor came in was too fast...... Su Nian pulled the corners of her mouth helplessly, she even thought that the emperor and Xiao Ge were just outside the palace?
After saying goodbye to the emperor, Su Nian and Lu Xuemei were still standing aside, but Lu Xuemei's body was already crumbling, because she also saw Xiao Ge.
"Queen Mother, you're really lively here."
The Queen Mother gently pressed the corner of her forehead with her hand, this kind of excitement, she didn't want it at all, she looked up and glanced at Xiao Ge who was standing respectfully, the Queen Mother was angry, and her hand "snapped" on the chair handle, "Look at what you have done!" ”
"It's all Weichen's fault." Xiao Ge was not ambiguous, and immediately knelt down to admit his mistake, his attitude was very sincere.
The Queen Mother really didn't know what to say when she saw it, so she pointed at him and trembled.
"Wechen's family affairs disturbed the peace of the Queen Mother, and Wechen's crime deserves death, and I ask the Queen Mother to atone for her sins." Xiao Ge was not at all arrogant and indulgent in the impeachment of the ministers, and his expression was sincere, so that the Queen Mother couldn't get angry if she wanted to.
"So how does it end now?!"
Xiao Ge raised his head innocently: "Isn't it because the minister's wife can't speak and collide with the Queen Mother?" Then please have a lot of the Queen Mother, forgive Su Nian. ”
The Queen Mother turned her head to look at the emperor, what did she mean? Why did she get more confused the more she listened?
"Ahem," the emperor spoke, "That's the case, the queen mother announced Mrs. Xiao into the palace, it just so happened that I also found Xiao Ge for some things, and later I heard that Mrs. Xiao angered the queen mother in Cining Palace, so I took Xiao Ge over to take a look, cough, it was reckless, and asked the queen mother to calm her anger." ”
The Queen Mother's head hurts a little, she is most annoyed by these twists and turns, and prefers to be clear and clear, at this time, while Xiao Ge is also there, she thinks about simply asking clearly.
At this moment, Lu Xuemei suddenly made a move, and suddenly rushed towards the temple pillar on the side.
Sure enough, Su Nian praised himself in his heart first, and then reached out and grabbed Lu Xuemei's dress, causing Lu Xuemei to be dragged to the ground before she could dodge.
Su Nian's center of gravity is also unstable, but she has been prepared, not to mention that Xiao Ge's speed is not slow, and she has already come to catch her.
At this time, if there is no drama with the intention of death, how boring it is, Su Nian has already calculated it in his heart, and he plays it like this on TV, pretending to hit the pillar, and then sadly and sadly killing Mingzhi, and immediately the topic can be covered up.
But it's a pity that Su Nian waited early in the morning, Lu Xuemei not only failed to hit the pillar, but was still lying on the ground at the moment, just now she seemed to be face to the ground first, presumably a little miserable at this time. (To be continued......)
