Chapter Forty-Eight: All Stumbling Blocks
I heard Mama Lin smile again and said: "After all, our crown princess is also one of the best talented women in Beijing, Fang Cai spoke calmly, and said things that had nothing to do with Shen Gongzi in an easy-going tone, and the slave maid saw that the face of this Fang girl was very ugly." ”
The queen also smiled appreciatively and nodded, turned to look at Liu Yuyao and said, "It is worthy of being the niece of this palace, well done." ”
Liu Yuyao was stunned for a moment, was poked by a shadow in the back, and quickly replied: "It was my aunt who taught her well!" ”
The smile on Empress Liu's face deepened, she picked up the teacup, brushed off the foam on it, and laughed softly: "I just saw that you were carried back by the prince, you were in a commotion, what's the matter?" ”
Don't mention it, as soon as she mentioned it, Liu Yuyao suddenly became angry, she gritted her teeth and said: "This Li Che is too deceitful!" Tube Thedo! ”
"Tell me, this palace is not very angry when it sees the prince."
"Just now I was going to go with the fourth prince to see what the hunters had caught, to see what was delicious, who knew that he chased after me, I didn't look like a lady! I don't have a sense of shame! You say he's not angry! ”
The queen drank tea quietly with a smile, "You are the crown princess now, and you shouldn't get too close to other men." ”
"That's right! That's what he said! He also said that in the future, apart from him, he can't get close to other men, in this world, except for men, women are women! How could I not approach other men! ”
After Liu Yuyao finished speaking, Queen Liu's face changed.
"He told you not to touch other men besides him?"
"Not really! He said that his business is none of my business, and he really thinks he is my husband! Let me visit the eunuch in the hall, why didn't he say it! ”
Empress Liu turned her head and glanced at Mama Lin, and then said to Liu Yuyao: "This palace sees that if this prince is not interested in you, he is deliberately showing favor to you." ”
"Interested in me? Don't be funny! When she was in the cave room, she still ...... the words came to her mouth, and even though she was nervous, she knew that some things could not be said, so she had to swallow the words again.
The queen said disapprovingly: "The palace has heard about it, I thought you were so wronged, and this hurdle is also sad, but you can see it, and the palace is also happy for you." ”
Lowering her head, she also felt that she had talked a little too much.
The queen groaned for a while and said: "Yu Yao, you are a smart child, don't be deceived by his tricks, think about how he treated you before, when he saw that he couldn't force you to die, he showed favor to you, mostly to win over your father." ”
"It has nothing to do with me to woo anyone, but one thing is for sure, he doesn't want to woo me!" Liu Yuyao said that he was majestic and high-spirited, and he made a lot of concessions.
The queen nodded with satisfaction and said: "This palace knows that this family affair is not good for you, but I didn't expect you to be able to endure this unvirtuous prince, it can be seen that you are also a good girl who is brave and resourceful, and can endure it." ”
Being praised by the queen, Liu Yuyao laughed a little embarrassedly, "What you said is serious, I am actually not as good as you say." ”
The queen continued to laugh and said: "In this palace, you and my aunt and nephew are the closest, and everything in this palace must be planned for you. ”
Liu Yuyao looked up at the queen happily, and her cheeks couldn't help but turn red.
The queen saw her expression in her eyes, and when she saw that she was like a little daughter again, she immediately knew that she was not dead to Shen Wenhua.
If the prince just wants to use her to buy the Liu family now, it doesn't matter, if she is really interested in this girl, she can also use this girl to drive a wedge between the prince and the Shen family, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
How could she know that Liu Yuyao was thinking of another person at this time, but it was the sturdy and martial fourth prince Li Xi.
After a while, the queen said again: "Where did Su Liangdi go?" ”
Liu Yuyao sighed, and said with a blank face: "What did you say?" ”
The queen asked Shadow instead, "You should know, right?" ”
Langying clasped his hands into fists, although he was respectful, he still said coldly: "The slave doesn't know." ”
The queen said a little strangely: "This Su Liangdi was originally trained with you, why, you don't know where she went?" ”
"But the slave maid has been staying in the Liu family, and Su Liangdi has already been sent to your palace, and there is no contact with her for a long time.
The queen said to herself a little strangely, "This palace also told Yu Yao, this Su Liangdi has been lurking by the prince's side for many years, but she has not sent one or two useful news to this palace, and this palace has long intended to cut her off, and she will eat steak in the future." ”
Liu Yuyao unconsciously clenched her palms, and felt more and more that the queen was terrible behind her smile.
Shadow replied, "You should have planned earlier. ”
"But this Su Liangdi suddenly disappeared, don't you say it's strange?" The queen suddenly laughed and said, "Where can she go without the palace?" What's more, this palace is so impregnable, it is difficult for her to fly if she wants to leave! ”
"Could it be the Crown Prince...... "Langying asked tentatively.
The queen continued to sneer, "Prince? He is now accustomed to pretending to be crazy and stupid, for fear that others will see how resourceful he is, and it will not be good for him to deal with Su Liangdi, not to mention, the night Su Liangdi disappeared, isn't he still kneeling in the temple? ”
Lang Ying said a yes word, and then fell silent again.
"Forget it," the queen said slowly: "Now that Yuyao is staying with the prince, the palace can rest assured, as long as you and my aunt and nephew are single-minded, what will be there in the future?" Isn't it, Yuyao? ”
Being named again, Liu Yuyao woke up like a big dream, glanced at the queen carefully, and locked her eyebrows a little irritably, "Isn't it good now, the prince is also very polite to you, and you are also very concerned about the prince, why do you have to fight to the death." ”
The queen suddenly opened her eyes wide, looked at Liu Yuyao in disbelief, and then looked at Lang Ying and said, "How could my daughter of the Liu family say such a thing?" Could it be that you also want to learn from your grandfather and father and abide by the golden mean? ”
Liu Yuyao pouted dissatisfiedly and said: "I don't know what is heavy and light, I just know that since you are mother and son, there is no need to hurt each other." ”
"Mother and son? The only sons of this palace are Heng'er and Lu'er, and the others, as long as they block his path, are all stumbling blocks for this palace! Do you understand? ”
Carefully looking at this menacing queen, Liu Yuyao finally sighed and said, "Whatever you want, as long as you don't implicate my life." ”
Lang Ying hurriedly spoke: "Miss, what you say, the queen mother will definitely protect you." ”
Is it? Liu Yuyao rolled her eyes at the queen who was still angry in her heart, but she still didn't have the courage to look at her, she couldn't let her out of the palace for a long time now, she had to think of a way, but she couldn't put her own life into it for a box of gold.
The first day of hunting always carries a little bit of competition, and on the second day, perhaps because of exhaustion, perhaps because of a great loss of interest, everyone has already become casual.
Early in the morning, a group of royal relatives gathered on the hillside, both men and women were no longer bound by the first day, and they were bustling together to watch several men compete and hunt together.
There is a group of young girls gathered around, with flowers and branches, with the brightness of youth, and these young sons and daughters have more desperate motivation.
"Let's go! Drive! Here, the Seventh Prince Li Lu rode a fast horse into the crowd, startling a group of girls to scream like laughter.
Several older officials even relied on the old and scolded: "Seventh Highness! What are you going to do! If you want to ride a horse, why don't you go to the mountains! ”
Li Lu let out a burst of frank laughter: "What else can you do, compare arrows!" It's a lot more fun than you guys shooting at this target! ”
As soon as his voice fell, he bent his bow and arrows, and shot down a wild goose flying in the sky, and the eunuchs hurried to pick it up.
Li Lu excitedly rushed behind him and beckoned, "Come here!" Come here! The third one! ”
Following him early, several men dressed in the armor of the prince and riding tall horses rushed over unhurriedly, including the crown prince Li Che.
I saw that his eyes fluttered and looked around the shed, and he didn't see Liu Yuyao's figure before he said slowly: "Big brother has shot four of them, what do you have to show off." ”
"Don't be pretentious, who let you shoot only two!"
"Hahaha!" The second prince laughed wildly, "Don't ridicule the third brother, be careful that he doesn't show his face, he will scare you to death if he shows his face!" ”
The Seventh Prince, Li Luchong, greeted the crowd and said, "Fourth brother! You come and have fun too! ”
"When I'm tired of playing, you don't know how to take a bow!" The voices of the four princes came from the crowd.
At this time, he was casually taking a feather arrow from the eunuch's hand, pulling the bowstring, like a full moon, closing one eye and looking at the target in the distance.
Everyone unconsciously turned their heads to look at him, and a pair of eyes glued to him.
I saw the spring breeze blowing on the face, the mountains and forests surging, and the four princes Li Xian stood tall and heroic.
With a 'whoosh', the feather arrow came out of his hand, and he heard a 'chop' sound, which hit the bull's-eye.
The first cheer from the crowd rang out: "The Four Princes are amazing!" That's amazing! That's amazing! Also penetrated the bullseye! It's strong enough! ”
This familiar voice instantly made the crown prince Li Che's eyes widen, and he rode on a tall horse and locked on Liu Yuyao's figure for the first time.
The person cheering was indeed Liu Yuyao, she was wearing a lake-blue tunic with narrow sleeves today, her long black hair was braided at random behind her head, and she was only tied with a few hostas, standing in a group of young girls as if she was no different from them.
At first glance, she took off the complicated dresses she usually wears and removed the precious pearls, but she has more distinguishing the color of the beautiful bath than them, especially her unpretentious smile, which makes people look like spring flowers blooming and the earth rejuvenating.
The prince's distraction was awakened by the praise of the people around him, only to see that Liu Yuyao looked at his fourth brother with admiration on his face, and asked him how to use his strength.
He looked up at the sky, and another row of geese flew by, and he did not hesitate to draw his bow with arrows, only to feel that the wound on his arm almost collapsed with too much force, and shot out with a whoosh.
