Chapter Ninety-Seven: Shuyi Doing Something
Mama also watched Princess Shuyi grow up, and naturally knew that the queen hated iron but not steel, but what can she do now?
The queen desperately wanted to pave a good way for Princess Shuyi, but Princess Shuyi didn't accept the queen's kindness at all, and only wanted to marry the person she liked, so she quarreled with the queen several times for this.
Seeing Xin Yan today, she contradicted the queen mother without saying a word, how could she not be sad. Mama also knew that the queen was suffering in her heart, but now that Xin Yan was there, she couldn't say anything.
The queen is not a person who can't stand the blows, she has experienced all kinds of winds and waves, and this thing is not enough for her to do.
It's just that he was sad and angry for a while, so he said a few words casually.
Now that I see the deep meaning in my grandmother's eyes, I naturally understand.
But according to her understanding of Xin Yan, this woman is not a talkative person, but a smart person. She believed that no matter what she heard today, Xin Yan would never tell the story.
The queen looked at Xin Yan and said lightly: "Let you see a smile." Shuyi's personality is like this, what she just said is not intentional, don't take it to heart. ”
"Princess Shuyi is straightforward and quick-hearted, and she is a hearty person. Xin Yan knew that she had no malicious intent and would not take it to heart. "Now that the queen has spoken, it is naturally impossible for Xin Yan to speak ill of Princess Shuyi. It's just that whether she intended it or not, the people present couldn't hear it.
The queen was relieved: "You are still sensible." ”
Xin Yan smiled and comforted the queen: "Don't worry too much about it, Princess Shuyi just had something to do, and she was in a hurry." And it can be seen that the queen mother treats Princess Shuyi very well on weekdays, otherwise the princess would not be so angry. If it were me, I would be unhappy if my mother suddenly recognized a righteous daughter. So it is understandable that the princess is like this, all out of affection for her mother, and she is afraid that her mother will be snatched away. So Niangniang, don't have a dislike for me and the princess, if this is the case, Xin Yan must be to blame. ”
The queen sighed heavily in her heart again: Look at others, even the words are so beautiful. Why is his daughter not as good as others even in this superficial effort?
"If Shuyi is half as sensible as you, I will be relieved." This sentence is the queen's heart.
But although the queen said so, Xin Yan couldn't go down the line, if that was the case, wouldn't it be convicted of Princess Shuyi's unfilial piety?
If it spreads, Xin Yan is afraid that he will be hated to death by Shuyi. However, Xin Yan didn't care about this, after all, Princess Shuyi's appearance just now didn't look like she would not hate Xin Yan.
It's just that Xin Yan doesn't want to add to the trouble.
Then Xin Yan and the queen said a few more words.
It's just a little half a day of getting along, and the queen is getting more and more satisfied with Xin Yan. Just her conversation made the queen feel that this woman was definitely not an ordinary businessman.
Can an ordinary businessman have such a wide range of knowledge? No matter what the queen says, Xin Yan can answer, and sometimes he can answer a thing or two for the queen in turn, it can be said that Xin Yan is the most extraordinary woman the queen has seen over the years.
Unlike ordinary boudoir women, what she sees, hears and learns is just a girl confined in the backyard. For Xin Yan, everything she talks about makes people feel that what she is in contact with is the vast world outside......
Before leaving, the queen rewarded Xin Yan with some things, not to say how valuable.
It's just that the queen expressed a little bit of her heart, and there is also compensation for Shuyi's attitude towards her.
As for flattering, that's not enough. Although Xin Yan fell into the eyes of Emperor Chengwu, it didn't mean that the queen was holding her.
At least the queen is not going to bow her head to curry favor with a woman, so as to consolidate her position.
How to say, her brother is still the prime minister of a country, and she herself is also the queen of a country, with a noble status.
Now like this, a big reason is that he is satisfied with Xin Yan.
Xin Yan accepted it gratefully, and then respectfully withdrew.
When she came to the outside of the palace, it was the previous palace maid who led her.
At this time, she asked, "This sister, are you waiting for the queen's mother?" ”
Li'er didn't dare to hold it up: "The slave maid is waiting for the queen's mother, and the girl just calls me Li'er." ”
Xin Yan smiled: "How long has Miss Li'er been waiting by the queen's side?" ”
Li'er knew that Xin Yan should inquire about the queen's mother, and the queen's mother also said before that if Xin Yan had any problems, as long as it was harmless, she could tell her.
After all, Xin Yan is also the queen's nominal daughter now, and it is also appropriate to understand her mother.
The queen knows this, and so does Li'er.
So at this time, Li'er said, "It's been almost four years." ”
She entered the palace at the age of fourteen, and she is eighteen years old this year. It is also her luck to be able to enter the Fengxing Palace.
At least the queen will not punish her subordinates for no reason, as long as she works diligently for the queen mother, the queen mother will not treat her badly.
The next thing Xin Yan asked was some inconsequential things, such as the queen's preferences and her habits, and it seemed that she really just wanted to know these trivial things.
But Li'er has also lived in this palace for a few years, and some things have been touched.
So although Xin Yan asked about some complicated things, she inquired about these things just to please the queen according to the queen's preferences.
Li'er didn't feel that there was anything wrong, if Xin Yan became the righteous daughter of the queen's mother, but she didn't say anything about it, then she should think about it, what other purpose did this Xin Yan have.
And Xin Yan just wanted her to have this idea, of course she knew that the queen sent Li'er over, on the one hand, to let her express the queen's attitude towards herself, and on the other hand, to let her quietly express her thoughts.
So Xin Yan also called them what they meant, and pretended to be said by Li'er during the conversation, and he didn't notice it at all.
Of course, what she revealed was her respect and admiration for the queen, and she was grateful for the emperor's appreciation.
Li'er completed the task, got the information she needed, and her smile deepened. At the same time, Xin Yan also acted very opportunistic in talking to her.
Suddenly, Princess Shuyi sent someone over, and the man said, "Princess Shuyi invited Miss Xin to the pavilion for a while, hoping that Miss Xin would appreciate her face." ”
Although the man said so, there was no attitude of inviting people on his face at all, and he was properly disdainful.
Li'er had a headache, and the queen asked her to escort Xin Yan back, in case something happened to Xin Yan, how could she explain to the queen mother.
It's just that she also knows Princess Shuyi's personality very well, and she sent her confidant palace maid, who is bound to bring Xin Yan over.
Just when she was entangled, Xin Yan spoke up: "Since the princess has warmly invited, Xin Yan can't refuse." Just ask the girl to go back and talk to the queen. ”
Li'er knew what Xin Yan meant, and she couldn't help her here, so she told the queen mother when she went back, maybe it would be better.
After all, although she is the person next to the queen, she can't help but listen to the princess, Princess Shuyi is the only daughter of the queen, and they can't contradict this alone.
"Well, the slave will go back and report to the queen."
This was said to the palace maid.
Shuyi's confidant is named Xia Zhu, and this time Shuyi wanted to find trouble with Xin Yan, so she volunteered to come.
Princess Shuyi can be regarded as the most favored princess in the palace, in addition to the fact that she is the daughter of the queen, another reason is that most of the other favored concubines in this palace have no daughters......
Therefore, Princess Shuyi basically walked sideways in the palace, and the princesses born of those unfavored beauties were naturally not loved by the emperor, and over time, their status in the palace was not very good.
Xia Zhu, as Princess Shuyi's confidant, is naturally a rising tide, and everyone is the object of everyone's stammering in this palace.
But as soon as this Xin Yan appeared, she became the righteous daughter of the queen's mother. If the queen's attention is drawn away from Princess Shuyi, or if the queen no longer loves Princess Shuyi as much as she used to, then she will lose everything she has now.
She knew that Princess Shuyi was very good at stirring up trouble, and of course she helped with these things, so in case the queen no longer liked Princess Shuyi, it would be ......
So Princess Shuyi is going to attack Xin Yan now, and she likes to see it.
It's not. It's over.
As soon as she saw Xin Yan, her contemptuous attitude came up, at least the attitude should be shown, so that Xin Yan knew that she was a lowly businessman, don't want to fly on the branch phoenix!
Hearing that Xin Yan was very knowledgeable about current affairs, Xia Zhu was very satisfied. Then she saw Li'er's warning-like words, and she didn't pay attention to it.
Just wait to see if Xin Yan will make a fool of himself.
After Li'er left, Xin Yan followed Xia Zhu to the pavilion.
Along the way, Xia Zhu's head was held high, as if he didn't give Xin Yan any charity at all.
Xia Zhu was still waiting for Xin Yan to ask her out loud, but she didn't expect Xin Yan to be stunned and didn't ask a word.
Doesn't this person want to know what Princess Shuyi is looking for her?
I was bored in my heart, and it was even more unpleasant to look at Xin Yan.
Just at one turn, a man scurried over.
Xin Yan stood firmly, and then helplessness and irritability appeared on his face. It's like wanting to be angry, this palace maid doesn't have long eyes, and just bumps into it.
However, he was speechless in his heart, knowing that Duke Shuyi was going to trouble her, but Xin Yan didn't expect it to be such a clumsy method.
With such a big road, that person can still bump into it, saying that it wasn't intentional, who would believe it!
At this moment, Xin Yan already knew what she was going to do, but she still had to act as if she didn't know anything, and accompanied them to continue the play.
Xia Zhu obviously knew about this, and a hint of triumph flashed in her eyes, and then she also used her clumsy performance to reprimand the man, and then looked at Xin Yan and said flatly, Is there anything wrong?
That attitude can really be as perfunctory as it can be.
