Chapter 188: The Queen Mother
She only glanced at it slightly before retracting her gaze, "Thank you, Your Highness, for sending it for me." ”
"Don't be so polite, you and I are fiancées, this is what I should do for you." Qi Yunxian said, his gentle and tolerant gaze fell on Du Yanwan's body.
Du Yanwan's fingertips trembled when she heard the words "fiancé", but she quickly returned to normal.
Qi Yunxian still didn't leave after delivering the things to Du Yanwan, Du Yanwan was a little surprised, and later learned that he was ordered by the emperor to come over and cultivate a relationship with her.
There was a faint mockery on his face, and the emperor was really thoughtful.
Du Yanwan didn't drive Qi Yunxian away, but just sat in the courtyard with Qi Yunxian for a while, Qi Yunxian didn't seem to feel Du Yanwan's resistance to him, and still talked to Du Yanwan as before, and his attitude and tone did not change in the slightest.
Gradually, Du Yanwan realized that he seemed to be too targeted at Qi Yunxian, he was not at fault, and he was going to marry him because of the emperor's words......
couldn't help but loosen his mind a little, Du Yanwan didn't resist Qi Yunxian as much as before, and after saying a few words to Qi Yunxian, Qi Yunxian said goodbye by himself.
Every day after that, Qi Yunxian would come over to talk to Du Yanwan, and Du Yanwan gradually did not resist Qi Yunxian so much, and the state of the two seemed to return to the way they used to be.
At the same time, the news that Qi Yunxian sent a lot of jewelry and treasures to Du Yanwan soon spread in the capital, and the woman was sour and envious in her heart.
At that time, when Qi Yunxian carried the box into the soup mansion one after another, many people saw it, just the head could be seen, but the tail could not be seen, some people were curious to count, at least fifty to carry it, this has been able to talk about it for a long time.
However, some people have seen what the rumored six princes looked like, not like the rumored ghosts, but as gentle as jade, like a beautiful son, it is difficult to find such a handsome person in the entire capital.
This made those who were already jealous of Du Yanwan even more jealous.
Spread Du Yanwan's evil words one after another, and belittled Du Yanwan no longer belittled, she directly became a fox spirit who seduced people everywhere, and anyone who talked about it showed a displeased expression on her face.
Du Yanwan knew about these rumors in the capital, but she didn't take them to heart, and she didn't mean to take care of them, but although she didn't want to pay attention to them, it didn't mean that others could put such rumors and spread them again, and it didn't take long for Du Yanwan to hear no voice in the capital saying that she was wrong.
After a while, Du Yanwan heard the news that the Queen Mother was going back to the palace, the Queen Mother had been eating fasting and chanting Buddha in Qingxin Temple all these years, and rarely returned to the palace, and she was ready to return to the palace this time because she heard the news that Qi Yunxian was going to get married.
The queen mother's most beloved grandson is Qi Yunxian, and she also chose a princess for Qi Yunxian early, but she didn't expect the emperor to privately engage Qi Yunxian, the queen mother was angry, and naturally couldn't stay in Qingxin Temple, so she went back to the palace after letting people pack up their things.
The queen mother's return to the palace was a major event in the capital, and the emperor personally went to the city gate to pick it up, and those princes in the royal family inevitably had to go.
Du Yanwan is now the fiancée of the sixth prince, and the two are about to get married, and she was also called.
It was the beginning of April, although the temperature had warmed up recently, but the wind was still cold, and the wind was strong at the city gate, although Du Yan wore a thick cloak when he went out at night, but he still felt cold after standing on the city gate for a long time.
Her eyes couldn't help but look around, and she couldn't help but shudder when her gaze touched a man in a black fluffy cloak.
The man seemed to be aware of her gaze, raised his eyes to her, there was no trace of emotion in his dark eyes, like stagnant water, Du Yanwan's heart trembled, and suddenly panicked, and the hands hanging by his side couldn't help but clench.
However, the man only glanced at her lightly and then withdrew his gaze, as if nothing had happened.
Du Yanwan involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief, and then there was a throbbing pain in his heart, his gaze at her was no longer as gentle and full of love as before, in his eyes she was like a stranger, although this was what she had always wanted to see, but when she really happened to her, she still couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
Du Yanwan couldn't feel cold in an instant, because her heart was colder than the cold on her body.
The cold wind blew on her body, and she didn't react in the slightest, staring blankly into the distance, not knowing what was going on in her heart.
"It's not cold, you can put on my cloak for the time being."
A warm voice came from her ears, and Du Yanwan looked up and saw Qi Yunxian untie the cloak on her body and gently drape it on her.
A warmth came to her, and the cloak carried the elegant fragrance of a man, Du Yanwan was stunned for a moment, and then took off the cloak he was wearing and returned it to Qi Yunxian, "You are not in good health, so you should wear it yourself, so as not to get sick again, and I don't feel cold." ”
"But your mouth is purple from the cold." Qi Yunxian said and did not put his cloak back on.
"What about me, you're not the same yourself?" Du Yanwan said angrily, "Leave me alone, you can dress yourself well." ”
Seeing that Du Yanwan was very persistent, Qi Yunxian had no choice but to tie the cloak back to his body.
After what he said to Qi Yunxian just now, Du Yanwan's mind was diluted a lot, and he was not as sad as before.
Although the conversation between the two hated Xiaoxiao, it still reached Zhai Yeqi's ears. The hand he put at his side had unconsciously clenched into a fist, and he tried to restrain himself from looking back, treating the rest as if it hadn't happened, and he hadn't heard anything, but he couldn't fool himself, his heart hurt so much.
Qi Yunyin, who was standing not far away, also heard the conversation between Du Yanwan and Qi Yunxian, and then he glanced at Zhai Yeqian with a smile, and when he saw his gloomy face, he chuckled again, and his eyes continued to fall outside the city gate.
I don't know how long it took, the Queen Mother's frame finally slowly appeared in everyone's sight.
The princess and concubine had been waiting impatiently for a long time, but fortunately, the queen mother's frame finally appeared in front of everyone.
After the emperor saw the queen mother's honor guard, his expression also changed slightly, and he led people down the city tower to meet the queen mother below.
The Queen Mother's guard of honor is not small, and it looks extraordinary from a distance.
After a while, Feng Jia slowly stopped.
"Welcome the Queen Mother back to the palace."
A pair of hands stretched out from the queen mother's carriage, that hand was clean and white, at a glance it was the girl's hand, when the hand lifted the curtain, everyone saw the queen mother sitting in the carriage, and an extremely beautiful woman sitting next to her.
The woman was born beautiful, her eyes were big and round, with a little naïve and ignorant inside, and she was looking at the situation outside curiously at the moment, her eyes blushed for a moment when she touched Zhai Yeqian and Qi Yunxian, and then withdrew her gaze as if nothing happened.
The Queen Mother didn't notice the subtle change in the expression of the little girl, "The emperor has a heart." ”
The emperor took the palace concubines and asked the princes to come to the city gate to greet her, which showed that he valued her as the queen mother very much, although the two were not related by blood, but the emperor should still give enough face, the queen mother was satisfied, and her eyes narrowed slightly when she touched Du Yanwan, who was beside Qi Yunxian.
Smart as the Queen Mother had already guessed the identity of the woman next to Qi Yunxian, and before entering Beijing, she had already asked people to inquire about Du Yanwan's affairs in the capital.
I don't know what the emperor thinks, he actually chose such an unworthy person to give Liu'er as a concubine, where is she comparable to half a finger of the court?
The woman next to the Queen Mother is called Mu Chaochao, and she is the sixth princess she is optimistic about Qi Yunxian.
Mu Chaochao is the daughter of the king of Nanyang, because her mother died in the Qingxin Temple to eat fast and read Buddha, for her mother to keep filial piety, the queen mother in the temple to see Mu Chaochao several times, and she talked to her, and was attracted by this little girl, very fond of her.
Mu Chaochao is also a sweet and clever person, and he has long coaxed the queen mother to be excited, and he also promised to give her a marriage.
Knowing that the Queen Mother intended to point her to the Six Princes as concubines, Mu Chaochao's mind flew to the Six Princes, when she was a child, she had seen the Six Princes, and she was also very impressed by him, if she could marry the Six Princes, she was 10,000 willing, and after knowing that the Queen Mother was going to assign herself to the Six Princes, she regarded herself as the Six Princes in her heart.
I have always been looking forward to marrying the six princes as soon as possible, who knew that there was news in the capital on a sunny day that the six princes were given marriage, but the object of the marriage was not her!
Mu Chaochao couldn't bear it anymore, so he ran to the Queen Mother and cried.
The Queen Mother couldn't sit still after learning about this, so the two of them both returned to Beijing.
After Mu Chaochao's gaze turned around in the crowd, it fell on Du Yanwan's body, seeing that she seemed to be more beautiful than herself, a trace of jealousy crossed her eyes, and she secretly gritted her teeth, she raised a bright smile like a spring flower at Du Yanwan.
Du Yan was stunned for a moment after seeing it late, and then lowered his eyes as if nothing happened.
"Let's go back to the palace." The Queen Mother slowly lowered her eyes, blocking the thoughts in her eyes, and said in a lazy tone.
Everyone came back to their senses when they heard the words, and after returning to the palace, the queen mother asked the emperor to come to her, I don't know what to say, the emperor had a black face when he went out from Cining Palace.
