Chapter 260: Hypocrisy
"Girl, the courtier's wife is soft-spoken, but if you collide with a noble person on this day, then you can't afford to be guilty."
Wen touched his hair slowly, and he didn't know how long it had taken before he said.
Aoyagi squatted for too long, and his feet were numb.
But the complexion on her face remained unchanged, and she was still humble.
After staying in the palace for more than ten years, her temperament has been adjusted.
has been reused by the queen all these years, and almost made her forget her duty, Wen's lesson is good for her.
"Thank you, Madame, for your teachings, Aoyagi remember."
Aoyagi stepped aside and stopped talking.
"Niangniang, don't blame the courtiers for being troublesome, if the people under this hand don't teach them well, they don't know what kind of mess they are going to cause."
The queen smiled and nodded, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.
After so many years, this Wen's temper has not changed, and it is still so hateful and tiresome.
"Sister, what you said is true, but there is one more point, this palace wants to tell you, sometimes, if this past matter is brought up again, it is very likely that you will also get into trouble, don't you say?"
As soon as Wen heard the meaning of Mu Wanshu's words, she understood.
That secret was the biggest weakness of the queen she mastered, how could she let it go so easily.
"Niangniang, what you said is reasonable, but have you forgotten that there is another sentence, this boiled duck can't fly, isn't that a waste of all your efforts?"
The faint smile on Mu Wanshu's face almost couldn't be maintained.
This Wen is really annoying.
Did she think she would be able to listen to her by clutching her pigtails?
Dream!
"Wen, don't go too far."
Her voice was sharp.
"Niangniang, what are you talking about, I don't understand?" Wen pretended to be stupid, and Mu Wanshu was helpless.
I can only ask Aoyagi to invite her out.
After Wen walked out of Fengyi Palace, she sat in the carriage as usual, and as soon as the curtain was closed, her face suddenly changed color.
"Queen? Hehe, I still want to cut myself off for the New Year, it's impossible. β
Now Wen Hongzhi is unwilling to help her, even she took the initiative to come to the door, she has to hold the queen's big tree tightly, otherwise, she doesn't even have a place to take a dip, if one day, Wu Dehou really wants to give himself a break, and he has to weigh the identity of the queen.
This is also the reason why she still wants to enter the palace even though she is tired of the queen.
Presumably, during this period of time, Wu Dehou will not come back to trouble himself.
In Fengyi Palace, Mu Wanshu watched Wen leave freely, and her palms were pinched red by her.
"Niangniang, the Wen family is too presumptuous."
Does she still know who she's up against? That's the queen of the dynasty!
"Aoyagi, it seems that the Wen family is unreliable, and this palace will personally talk to Wenhong."
is a deep palace woman and a foreign man, even at a banquet, the two have zero communication throughout the whole process.
What's more Hehuang, what the emperor doesn't like the most is that the harem is colluded with the previous dynasty, in case the emperor knows about it.
Mu Wanshu shuddered.
But if Situ Huaibo's matter is not handled well, her years of hard work will be in vain, and Situ Huaibo will become a waste, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, she will have to fight.
But the queen didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly.
She was walking in the imperial garden and saw the prime minister coming out of the imperial study.
The queen called out to him, "Wen Xiang, this palace heard that His Royal Highness the Third Prince Di is not satisfied with your daughter?" β
Wen Hongzhi was suddenly sweated, and his heart beat a drum, and when he heard the queen's words, his face changed, "What the queen said is true, His Royal Highness the Third Princeβ"
"Prime Minister Wen, you don't have to worry about this matter, this palace will help you persuade the third prince well."
Wen Hongzhi was overjoyed, "Thank you Queen Mother." β
He was about to kneel down and salute, but the queen asked someone to stop him, "Wenxiang, this palace doesn't need you to make a big salute, but there is one thing, this palace needs you to do it." β
"Mother, please speak."
"I heard that you have been getting close to the third prince recently, Wen Xiang, this road must be chosen, a poor pool, that is, there is no place to bury you."
Mu Wanshu stared at him with burning eyes, and her voice also had a sense of demagogy.
But Wen Hongzhi pretended to be deaf and blind, he didn't see Mu Wanshu's expression hints, and said to himself: "Queen Mother, Weichen's daughter will soon be the third princess, Weichen and the third prince are close to each other, I don't know what the queen called Weichen, what is the so-called matter?" β
Under Mu Wanshu's wide sleeved robe, a pair of hands dyed with delicate nail polish pinched the palms fiercely.
Wen Hongzhi on the other side was still puzzled, as if he couldn't understand her hint at all.
Good you Wen Hongzhi, good you Wen Prime Minister!
Mu Wanshu's heart changed in every way, but there was no expression on his face, "Prime Minister Wen, it's boring to pretend." β
Wen Hongyi knelt down with a frightened face, "Niangniang, Weichen really doesn't understand." β
Mu Wanshu was just about to sneer, Wen Hongzhi continued: "Niangniang, there is no excuse for the crime you want to add, if you are worried that Weichen is complicit with His Royal Highness the Third Prince, you can tell the emperor and let the saint ruling, I believe that the emperor will give Weichen justice." β
Mu Wanshu's face turned green.
Wen Hongzhi actually used the emperor to press her?
Are their brothers and sisters really bullied themselves?
Mu Wanshu's fists gradually clenched, the green tendons on the back of her hands were exposed to the air, and the expression on her face was also terrifying.
But immediately, after several changes, the expression on Mu Wanshu's face returned to calm.
"Prime Minister Wen, what are you talking about, this palace is just saying it casually, you just listen to it casually."
"That's good, I'm tired of the queen's mother worrying about Weichen."
After Wen Hongzhi finished speaking, he left, leaving only Mu Wanshu with a back. Mu Wanshu looked at the direction he left, her pupils shot out of the Dao Essence Light, and finally she also turned around and went back to Fengyi Palace.
The Empress consulted with the corners of the Imperial Garden for a long time, and the news soon reached the Emperor's ears.
"The queen and Wen Hongzhi?"
"Back to the emperor, exactly."
"How did the two of them come together in a nightmare?"
"Back to the emperor, Prime Minister Wen came to discuss things with you this morning, and met the queen mother in the imperial garden."
"Chances?"
Situ Qingchu never believed in coincidences, only coincidences caused by calculations.
"Whatever they both said, I'll find out soon."
"Yes."
The queen returned to Fengyi Palace, and as soon as she sat down on the phoenix chair, the blue and white porcelain teacup in her hand was knocked to the ground by her.
"Wen Hongzhi, you are presumptuous!"
However, after the conversation just now, Mu Wanshu also understood that Wen Hongzhi was determined to be with Situ Huai, and there was no way for her to reverse it.
Therefore, she should let Situ Huaibo prepare, and in the future, he will be easy to deal with, but Situ Huaizhi is alone, and Wen Hongzhi is a strong helper.
"Aoyagi, you go and tell Situ Huaibo and ask him to come back quickly after dealing with the affairs of the mountains and rivers."
"Yes, the slave and maid will go at once."
After Aoyagi left, Mu Wanshu stared at the Tainiao outside the window, and her palms slowly tightened.
"Xiangye."
Wang Shilan's face was still a little pale, although Wen Hongzhi was still lukewarm to her during these days, but in order to survive the day when her daughter came back to see her, she still had to pretend to be in love with Wen Hong.
"What are you doing here?"
After Wen Hongzhi came out of the palace, his face was very bad, and when he saw people he didn't want to see, his face was even worse.
There was a hint of embarrassment on Wang's face.
But she thought of the purpose of her coming, and still said: "Xiangye, Qingruo may have been married to Tubo for a long time, I don't know if Xiangye can have news of Qingruo, and the concubine is ......."
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Wen Hongzhi.
"If Qing is married to Tubo to enjoy happiness, what do you want, if you have nothing to do, you should care more about Qing Qian, her marriage with the third prince, have you ever cared about it? Wang, don't forget, you are still a shallow mother-in-law. β
Wen Hongzhi's eyes were very cold, looking like a fierce leopard, Wang's body trembled.
She took a step back and said resignedly, 'Yes. β
"Alright, go back to your garden, don't bother me if it's okay."
Wang left the front yard, and soon, under the instruction of Wen Hongzhi, Wen Qingqian came.
"Daddy, you call me."
Because the third prince didn't want to see him, Wen Qingqian had heard enough of the jokes of others in Beijing these days, and he hadn't been out of the courtyard for a long time.
Wen Hongzhi saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.
But now, he has no way out, his daughter must marry the third prince, even if Situ Huaizhu doesn't like it, he has to marry.
"Qingqian, dad heard that you have been staying in the mansion recently and haven't gone out?"
"Back to Daddy's words, Qing Qian has always been in the house." She replied with her head down.
"Qingqian, this can't be done, you still have to take it away from the third prince."
Wen Hongzhi took a sip of tea and frowned.
"But Daddy, the third prince doesn't like his daughter at all, and his daughter just has a hot face and a cold ass when she goes, he-"
"What do you say?"
Wen Hongzhi snorted, and Wen Qingqian honestly shut up.
"But Daddy, the third prince, he doesn't like me at all, and he can't see my daughter's efforts again, and his daughter is now the laughing stock of the entire capital." As soon as she thought of this, she was angry, if it weren't for Situ Huai's decision, how could she be ridiculed and didn't dare to go out.
It's all that Situ Huaiju, where is she comparable to the second prince, and I don't know what the emperor is about, why don't she reward herself to the second prince?
Wen Qingqian muttered in his heart.
"Qingqian, you remember, your husband can only be the third prince, and Daddy has already put all his wealth on him, do you understand?"
Wen Hengzhi stared at this daughter he had always loved the most.
Seeing that Wen Qingqian was still a little tempered, Wen Hongzhi said slowly: "Qingqian, do you know why Daddy asked Qingruo to marry the prince of Tubo?" β
Wen Qingruo was stunned.
"Because she is of no use to her father, if she can win over Prince Mu Chi, then her father will not feed her in vain, and her father has never raised waste, you know?"
Wen Qingqian was shocked.
So now Wen Hongzhi is threatening her?
Her eyes flickered twice, and she bowed down humbly and said, "Daddy, don't worry, my daughter will definitely marry His Royal Highness the Third Prince as you wish." β
Walking out of Wen Hongzhi's study, Wen Qingqian seemed to lose his strength all over his body, and he almost didn't stand.
"Miss, are you alright?" The maid asked worriedly.
Help me back to my room."
She was still in a cold sweat on her back.
She only learned today that Wen Hongzhi's kindness to herself was conditional, if she couldn't satisfy his ambitions, maybe she would be like Wen Qingruo, who would be given as a gift to a prince, maybe from Tibet, maybe from Yelangguo, who knows?
This night, Wen Qingqian didn't sleep all night, and Situ Huaibo's two were hovering in her mind.
Since she listened to Situ Huaibo's words of pouring out her heart and lungs for herself, she has invested all her enthusiasm in him, but thinking that Wen Hongzhi is good to herself, these days, she has not passed the bag outside.
Wen Hongzhi is her biological father, and he plans for her, and he treats her so well, she can't bear to betray her, but now.
She lay on her side on the bed, her eyes wide open staring at the curtain.
Man does not perish for his own sake.
She has to listen to Situ Huaibo's words well, no matter what Wen Hongzhi does, she has to tell him.
Now the only person he can rely on is Situ Huaibo, and he is the only one.
She whispered a few words, and closed her eyes.
But after a long time, she "swooped" to open her eyes, but what if it was too late?
Father must let him marry Situ Huaiju, the emperor's order cannot be violated, is it still possible for her to marry Situ Huaibo at that time?
That night, she didn't sleep all night.
