Chapter 13: The Queen Is My Aunt?
I don't know why I was a little empty in my heart, and I unconsciously felt a little sympathy for the prince next to me.
The queen mother died of illness, and the new queen made things difficult for her in every way, and was forced to move out of the palace and live outside the palace.
After the second saint drank the tea in the teacup, a senior father-in-law began to read out the will: "The eldest daughter of the Xue Mansion, Xue Zhimo, her father's high merit, filial piety and courtesy, gentle and virtuous, special marriage and son's cold smoke, sealed: Crown Princess, official residence; Jin Luan signed a contract, the hundred officials are the witness, the two saints are the example, I hope the two will always get married, and I hope that the two will always have a good relationship, and I will do this! ”
The civil and military officials stepped forward to congratulate him, and the emperor was obviously not in a very good mood because of Li Hanyan, and after the will was read out, he left with his hands.
After glancing at the face of the Queen Mother, the father-in-law next to him shouted towards the bottom of the hall: "There is a performance, but there is no retreat!" ”
The civil and military officials hurriedly gave gifts to the queen mother at the height of the main hall, and shouted in unison: "Congratulations to the two saints!" ”
After the queen mother left, the hundred officials also walked and scattered.
I was also about to go back to my house with Li Hanyan, but as soon as I turned around, a palace maid stopped me, saluted, and said, "The crown princess, the queen invites you to go to Kunning Palace for a while." ”
Yes? I just met the second saint, why is there another queen mother who wants to see me now?
I blinked at Li Hanyan with big eyes, and he did have a calm face, and said, "I'll wait for you when I go home." With that, he walked out of the temple.
"Hey, hey, hey!" I tried to call him back, but the back faded away in front of my eyes until it was completely out of sight.
What a person!
Just leave me alone?
"Princess, please." The maid motioned for me to go with her.
To be honest, I really don't want to see any queen, after all, now I am carrying the identity of Xue Zhimo, and God knows who she has provoked over the years.
This can't blame me for thinking too much, but I have to be careful, if Xue Zhimo has offended the queen before, then wouldn't I have to take the blame for her? I won't carry this unwarranted disaster for her.
But the queen has sent someone to invite, so she can't refuse, right?
In these few tens of seconds, my brain was racing rapidly, and suddenly, an idea came to mind, and a feasible plan came to mind.
I followed the palace maid unhurriedly and punched myself in the abdomen around a corner, "Poof! A mouthful of old blood almost gushed out.
The strength of this punch was not ambiguous, and as soon as the punch went down, his face turned pale, and the cold sweat of the bean was straight up from his forehead and rolled down his cheeks.
There was a sharp pain in his abdomen, and the whole person fell to the ground weakly, curled up, and flipped from side to side there.
"Kill a thousand enemies, and lose eight hundred yourself!!" I shouted in my heart, and even regretted it a little, but this punch was still beaten in the end, and it couldn't be in vain, right? No matter how painful it is, you have to finish the show!
The palace maid turned around when she heard the sound, and when she saw my miserable image, she hurriedly ran back and helped me up from the ground, "Princess, are you okay?" What's going on? ”
"Ouch~~ The old problem has been made again, and it hurts me to death......" I rolled on the ground in pain, and what I said was made up by me, but this pain is a 100% real pain!
I didn't even know I could be so cruel to myself.
"Old problem, is there a way to alleviate it?" The palace maid is in a hurry, if something happens to me, the crown princess, in front of her, she, the palace maid, will definitely not be able to get out of it.
I was in terrible pain at this time, and I didn't have the strength to answer her questions.
Seeing that I didn't answer, she became even more flustered, jumped to her feet on the ground, and finally shouted directly, calling for others to come over.
"Come on, come on!"
"Hey, stop shouting, don't you think I'm not ashamed enough today? Hurry up and help me up. I had the strength to stop her.
"But what now? Why don't you go and ask the doctor to come over? ”
I shook my head weakly: "It's useless, my old problem has been there since birth, and I have seizures from time to time, and it is useless to invite countless famous doctors, and it is useless to invite imperial doctors; However, a few years ago, I met a miracle doctor immortal master, and she gave me a few pills, which I could temporarily relieve after taking them. ”
"Where's the pill? The slave and maid will go and fetch it for you!" The palace maid hurriedly asked.
I covered my abdomen and grinned, "It turned out to be in the Xue Mansion, after becoming the crown princess, I was also brought to the prince's mansion, I must go back to the prince's mansion immediately, if I delay any longer, I'm afraid it will be useless to take the pills given by the divine doctor." ”
"But...... The queen mother ...... there, "The palace maid looked embarrassed.
"Don't, don't you really want me to die here? When will you be responsible? I endured the severe pain and said, "As long as you explain the reason for the matter on the queen's side, she will not embarrass you." ”
With that, I covered my abdomen with one hand and walked out holding on to the railing on the side of the hallway with the other.
"See the crown princess!" When several sedan chair drivers saw me coming, they hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted, I raised my hand and urged: "It's okay, hurry up and get up and go home." ”
"Yes."
I sat on the sedan chair and took a deep breath, pressing my abdomen with both hands to relieve the pain, and after a while, the severe pain slowly subsided, and then I felt a little better, and the complexion on my face also recovered, not as pale as just now.
"You're back so soon, and it's good to catch up with the queen?"
At this moment, a familiar voice came, I opened the curtain of the sedan chair and looked out, and found that Li Hanyan's sedan chair was following next to me, and I opened the curtain just to meet his gaze.
After seeing my appearance, he hooked his lips and smiled: "Concubine Ai doesn't seem to look very good, isn't she angry with the queen?" Do you need this palace to take you to ask for an explanation? ”
I rolled my eyes at him with disdain, and I saw that I was so embarrassed and still talking cool things here, is this what a husband should do?
"I didn't even go to see the Queen."
"Oh? Why? ”
"Where did you come from, why didn't you want to see it, so it disappeared." I turned my head and lowered the curtains, not looking at him again.
Li Hanyan smiled playfully, and stopped talking, and the two sedan chairs marched side by side on Xuanwu Street until they returned to the prince's mansion, and then a "sedan chair" sounded, and several maids hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Hanyan and me down from the sedan chair.
Back at the mansion, the two of us will go back to our own places, I don't know if the prince has official business, but it seems to be quite idle, but I don't have time to be idle now, I need to understand Xue Zhimo's interpersonal relationships now, especially with the connections of these imperial families.
Now as the crown princess, I have to deal with the people of their imperial family, and if I don't figure this out, I will have a very hard time in the future.
From whose mouth do you want to know about such things? I pinched my chin and thought.
"Looks like she's the only one." (My dowry maid.) )
In the evening, after bathing, the bridal maid, Su Mu, was standing behind me to help me fix my hairstyle, and I also took this opportunity to ask her intentionally or unintentionally: "Su Mu, do you think I treat you well on weekdays?" ”
"Of course, Miss is good to anyone, it's just Lord Aoyama...... Alas! Su Mu just sighed sadly when he said this.
I selectively ignored the latter sentence and continued, "You should know about my amnesia, right? ”
"Huh? Amnesia? Su Mu was shocked, a little incredulous, but he thought that my every move these days was compared to the young lady he knew, it was like two people.
She was really skeptical at first, wondering if the young lady in front of her was real, but when she heard about my amnesia, she was relieved at once, and her original suspicions were completely let go at this moment.
That's exactly what I wanted, I just wanted her to let go of her suspicions about me so she could answer all my questions.
"Am I going to be too scheming?" I asked myself, I feel that it is too inauthentic to use others like this, but this is really a helpless move, the situation is forced, and I will slowly explain it to her when I have the opportunity in the future. I thought to myself.
Seeing that the effect was good, I began to take the opportunity to interrogate.
"Do you know the queen of the dynasty?"
"You know, the queen mother of the dynasty, who can not know."
"Then do you think she's going to be bad for me?"
"Bad for Miss? Shouldn't that be? After all, she still has some connections with the Xue Mansion, and if you calculate it carefully, she is still the aunt of the young lady. Su Mugen replied seriously.
"Auntie?" My mouth is in the shape of an "O", do you think this is not an exaggeration, is it exciting? When the queen of the dynasty is Xue Zhimo's aunt, what is the relationship about?
"Yes, Miss, you have amnesia, and it's normal to not know." Su Mu explained with a smile.
"But...... I heard that the queen's surname is not Xiao? This can't be compared to our Xue Mansion, why did she become my aunt? "I'm still a little confused.
Su Mu shook his head and patiently helped me clear the doubts in my heart.
It turned out that the queen of the dynasty was surnamed Xiao Xue, and she was the first prince of Xue Mansion to be related to each other, but later because of the war, Queen Xiao's ancestor was incognito and took Xiao as her surname, all the way to Queen Xiao.
I nodded suddenly in realization, "Since there is a relation, what is her relationship with our Xue Mansion?" ”
If the relationship is not good, then I will at most meet her less often, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to myself; If the relationship is good, then I can pull it off, so that there is one more way back.
"The slave is just a maid, so this kind of thing is unknown."
Su Mu sighed lightly, thought for a while and continued: "Now the major forces in the imperial court have begun to stand in line, and the objects of support are: Gongzi Hanyan, and the third prince - Li Heng, (Empress Xiao's son) Our Xue Mansion is now in a relationship with the prince, which is equivalent to standing on the side of the prince, and although Empress Xiao is your aunt, she will not be too kind to see you." ”
...... the Third Prince? I remember that at the wedding banquet before, I seemed to have heard those officials mention him, and it seemed that the evaluation of the third prince was quite high.
Empress Xiao is the mother of the third prince again, tsk, this relationship is too bloody, right? I shouted in my heart.
The crown prince, the prince, is the successor who represents the respect of the Ninety-Five, and generally the eldest son is appointed as the prince, but there are also many things where the prince is abolished and changed because his ability is not enough to serve the public.
At present, as long as the crown prince of Gongzi Hanyan is abolished, the third prince can naturally replace him.
Then I am now bound to Li Hanyan, isn't it also regarded as a thorn in the side of Queen Xiao?!
Suddenly I felt as if I had escaped, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought to myself: It's good that I avoided Queen Xiao's invitation today and didn't meet her, otherwise God knows what would have happened. I'm the one who hates trouble the most, more things are better than less, and I can't hide if I can't afford to provoke them.
