Chapter 154: Message
The news that the imperial court intended to marry Danda and let Xiao Yizheng, the king of Heng, marry Qiqina, the princess of Danda, reached Sujiang, and everyone was stunned. ν.
Obviously, not long ago, Xiao Yizheng's refusal to marry in public was still rumored one after another, how could the situation reverse so quickly.
Qingxi seemed unfazed. She asked Jiang Lian: "Has Brother Jiang received news from all walks of life today?" ”
Jiang Lian frowned and said: "It is said that after the banquet in the palace on the day of the Holy Lord's accession to the throne, Qiqina stopped His Highness's carriage halfway, and the two talked for a long time, as for what they talked about, there is no way to know. ”
So what exactly is it talking about? According to my sister-in-law's character, if he is unwilling in this matter, who will force him? Qingsong's fingers rubbed his chin and said in a deep voice.
Qingxi bit her lower lip and frowned slightly. yes, what exactly did they talk about?
Chen Ji, who had been sitting on the upper seat and drinking tea leisurely, spoke at this time.
He knocked on the table, and first said to Qing Song: "Lord Ling, how is the progress of your Nanhu project, how can I see you at home all day?" ”
Qing Song immediately laughed and said, "Ah Gong, are your eyes fixed on me all the time?" ”
Thanks to Ding Ming's help, the Nanhu Lake treatment project is progressing more smoothly. He thought in his heart that he would treat Ding Ming well after the project was over.
Chen Ji smiled, turned to Qingxi again, and said, "Heng'er, you should be prepared for this when you marry into the emperor's family." Whether it's true or not, if you can't even stabilize your mind in this matter, then how can you have the confidence to face the turbulent waves of life in the future. ”
"Ah Gong, for Heng'er, if this thing is true, it will be a stormy wave!" Kiyomatsu answered.
Chen Ji shook his head: "It doesn't matter if it's true or not, the important thing is that you need to be prepared to face any changes." ”
As he spoke, he touched Xiao Yiran's head, which had been standing beside him, and said softly, "Xiao Qi is the same." ”
Xiao Yiran nodded very obediently, thought about it, and said to Qingxi: "Sixth sister-in-law, sixth brother, he won't like Princess Danda." ”
Qingxi smiled warmly: "Well, if your sixth brother likes her, I can't spare him." ”
After leaving Chen's study, Qingsong patted Qingxi's shoulder, and said quite generously: "Be happy, if you really don't want that princess to enter the Hengwang Mansion, my brother has a way." I really can't accept it, so you divorced my brother-in-law, became a girl from my Ling family, and let him regret it. ”
Qingxi smiled angrily: "If Grandma heard you say this, would she faint in anger." ”
Kiyomatsu blinked; "Then your sins are greater than mine." After speaking, he crossed his arms, looked at the study behind him, and thought suspiciously: If Qingxi is no longer Princess Heng, then this so-called family power does not need to help Xiao Yizheng. He paused, withdrew his gaze, and strode away with his leg raised.
Jiang Lian stood behind them, smiling and listening to their conversation.
He came to Sujiang to prepare for the accident in Beijing, but there was no exact number on that day, so he couldn't easily return to Shandong.
After Qingsong left, he slowly stepped forward, stood beside Qingxi, and said softly: "I think Your Highness should have news back, don't worry, princess." ”
His voice was clear and gentle.
There was still a faint smile on the corner of Qingxi's mouth: "I think there must be a reason for this, I trust him." ”
Jiang Lian looked at the sunlight reflecting on half of her face, and her side face was even clearer at this moment, and said with emotion: "Your Highness should not let down the princess." ”
Qingxi looked at him sideways and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, Grandma asked you about your private matter yesterday. You have to be careful, Grandma is very good at caring about other people's marriage. ”
Jiang Lian was stunned for a moment, and then smiled heartily: "I never thought that the old ladies in the world have this heart, and it turns out that the old lady Chen is no exception." ”
Qingxi lowered her eyebrows and smiled, looking gentle and moving.
Jiang Lian smiled at his lips and said in a low voice, "Old lady, don't waste your heart." ”
Qingxi looked up at him, raised his eyebrows and said: "I also said this to my grandmother, I think you must be a talented person in the 10,000 yuan building, and others are afraid that they will not be able to see it." ”
She felt that Jiang Lian was not young, although his appearance was too feminine, but he could also be called beautiful, and with such a value, he should have a sweetheart.
She saw Jiang Lian standing in that place noncommittally
Like, thinking that he probably didn't want to say more, he smiled and diverted the topic.
They also talked about the situation in Beijing.
Jiang Lian said that the Xiangwang Mansion was already under the close surveillance of the imperial court, and it was becoming more and more difficult to spread the news. But recently, the concubine of the prince of Xiang still sent back a piece of news, that is, she overheard the prince say that the mining case of Taining also involved the queen mother's family, but the emperor ordered the king of Xiang not to spit out half a word. said that when the prince told her about it, he also told her to keep it a secret.
"The Yuan family?" Qingxi frowned.
Jiang Lian nodded: "Although there is news that when the emperor was dying, he gave an explanation of the affairs of the King of Xiang, and the life of the Prince of Xiang was saved, but how to convict and what will happen to him, the entire Xiang Palace, is still uneasy." He sighed and continued: "If the big family full of flowers is desolate and bleak, even if it does not enter the Yellow Spring, it is still an underworld. ”
Qingxi also felt embarrassed. Everything in this world is reincarnated, and there is nothing new.
"Yuan Yi?" She suddenly remembered the person who held a grudge in Xiao Yizheng's mouth.
"If the Yuan family is involved in the case, of course the emperor will suppress the matter at this time. He had just ascended the throne and could not catch fire in the backyard. She analyzed, speaking of which, she remembered Shen Tong.
For some reason, Shen Tong is now the queen, but she thinks it would be good if she married into the Ling family in the first place.
"I wonder if Your Highness knows about this?" Jiang Lian said softly.
Because they were not sure whether the correspondence was safe, they had almost no correspondence with Xiao Yizheng and Ling Deyan in Shangdu City recently. And the news brought back by Xiao Yizheng will not involve confidential matters. Even if it's all words of peace.
Jiang Lian's question, Qingxi couldn't answer.
She looked up into the sky, and the swallows circled the beams, latching on to the mud to build their nests.
The swallow has also collapsed, so when will the people who are far away return?
Seeing that she seemed to be in deep thought, Jiang Lian hesitated for a while, but still said, "I have a question, I want to ask the princess." ”
Qingxi retracted his gaze and turned his eyes to look at him: "What? ”
Jiang Lian looked her in the eye and said, "For a royal person, it is very difficult to be single-minded. The first emperor treated Empress Xiaoyi like that, but the harem was not vacant. If in the future, there is another person by His Royal Highness's side, perhaps out of necessity, how will the princess choose? ”
Qingxi's eyes obviously fluctuated, and the content in it was extremely rich in an instant, but in an instant, it all turned into a decision. She said softly, "I remember I told him that if he loses me, I don't want him. ”
Jiang Lian was slightly stunned, then nodded with a smile.
"It's like a decision made by the princess. You're proud. ”
The next day, Qingxi received a letter from Xiao Yizheng. However, the letter did not explain the rumors from the outside world, but only wrote four words meaningfully: believe me in everything.
Qingxi pinched the letter, both sure and uneasy in his heart.
He didn't deny the rumors, so it could be true.
Why?
She understood that it was inconvenient to explain in detail in his letter, but her heart still rippled.
Since she knew, Xiao Yizheng was still a little angry with him for hiding the true effect of his pill.
She had already been able to piece together that the person who drugged herself should be the queen, and she also knew that he didn't want to worry about herself because he was afraid that he could learn the truth from others, which was a bad feeling.
As soon as she folded the letter, Moon Shadow came to report that Li Han had sent someone to invite her to Nanhu Lake.
Since Li Han moved back to the Changfeng branch, he has not returned to Chen Yuan.
These days, Qingxi has hardly left the Chen Garden.
Moon Shadow was very anxious when she saw that she was not out of the courtyard. You know, this is against common sense, in the past, her girl was eager to run out every day. Although the situation is special now, and I know that she has something to do in the house every day, she still feels distressed when she looks at it.
So, when she saw Qingxi's hesitation, she opened her mouth to persuade: "Now that the spring is just right, things are always unfinished." Now that Your Highness is well, you can rest assured. Today, the old lady and the old lady have taken the Seven Highnesses to go out, and you are also bored in the house. Since Miss Li was invited, let's go and see Nanhu and see the young master's political achievements. ”
Qingxi smiled and asked, "I think you want to go out to visit the spring, right?" ”
Moon Shadow nodded immediately
"Yes, yes, yes, that's what I want." But if you don't go, I won't be able to get out, will I? ”
"Let you go with Zhao Xin, and you won't go?" Qingxi gave her a blank look.
This morning, Ah Gong took Xiao Qi out, and she asked Zhao Xin to follow, just in case. Of course, Zhao Xin came out, and the bookworm Wu also went to join in the fun.
Moon Shadow's face was slightly red: "In the mansion, I see him every day, how can I go out and see him, I'm annoyed!" ”
Qingxi said: "If you are annoyed, can I let him go back to Shangdu?" ”
"Okay!" Moon Shadow stalked around her neck and insisted.
Qingxi smiled and shook his head.
Unable to resist Moon Shadow's persuasion, she also agreed to go out of the park.
Moon Shadow only discovered a big problem at this time, Zhao Xin is not there, who will protect them from the door?
"There are Xiao Shengzi, and there are people who have Changfeng." Qingxi was not worried, and after a pause, she said again: "Go and invite Brother Jiang to come along." ”
Jiang Lian was naturally respectful, so he might as well get into the carriage together.
Jiangnan in April is like a dream, and the beauty is incomprehensible.
Along the way, Moon Shadow seemed even more excited than Qingxi.
She asked Jiang Lian: "Mr. Jiang, why did Mr. Wu invite you to accompany you in the morning, but you don't want to, but now you are sitting in this carriage?" ”
Jiang Lian looked leisurely and said with a smile: "Because it is more pleasing to the eye to go with the Moon Shadow Girl than to go with that bookworm Wu." ”
Moon Shadow smiled happily: "Mr. Jiang, don't make fun of me." ”
Jiang Lian shook his head and said, "I see that this bookworm Wu is too happy, I'm afraid I won't think about the humble room on the top of the East Mountain!" ”
Qingxi didn't say anything.
South Lake is on the outskirts of the city, and the horse-drawn carriage slowly drives towards the sparsely populated jungle, through which you can reach South Lake.
Jiang Lianben and Moon Shadow were talking and laughing, and suddenly their eyebrows furrowed, and their noses sniffed hard.
Qingxi noticed his expression and asked vigilantly, "What's wrong?" ”
"The smell in this air is not right...... Jiang Lian said in a low voice: "It's not good, hold your breath." ”
