Chapter 327: Difficult
Something to ask Li Chengxuan? Will it be the matter of the "Pavilion Master" and the "Highness"? Or was the loss of the Birth Compendium known to the Holy Lord? Xiling Yue suddenly felt a burst of nervousness.
Li Chengxuan's face was still as usual, and he got up and replied, "Yes." ”
So he stayed, and the other nineteen princes followed the eldest princess's family to leave the Shicui Palace. Because today is the first official appearance of Xiling Yue, all the kings brought the princesses into the palace, the princes went to meet the Son of Heaven, and the princesses went to Penglai Hall to accompany the Queen Mother.
According to the etiquette system, the meeting gifts given by the kings to Xilingyue were also prepared by the princess, and they were sent out when she went to Penglai Hall to meet the queen mother. And those princes who have not married wives will be prepared by their close sisters-in-law, or send people to send gifts directly to the eldest princess's mansion.
The covered bridge in front of the Shicui Hall is the only road leading to the south, whether it is to meet the Queen Mother or leave the palace, you have to pass through it. The kings came out of the Shicui Palace, each claimed the attendants, and when they reached the end of the covered bridge, they saw that the eldest princess was already waiting for the rabbit here, and coldly blocked the way of King Xun and King Hui.
When the rest of the kings saw this, they all knew that something was wrong, and most of them left with amusement, except for a few gentle and kind ones who stood around, trying to persuade both sides.
The eldest princess didn't give face at all, and asked King Xun and King Hui in public: "The two younger brothers want to give face to their sister, and they repeatedly make things difficult in front of the saint, what does it mean?" ”
King Xun coughed lightly: "The imperial sister misunderstood, the younger brothers are worried that you have recognized the wrong daughter and fallen for outsiders." ”
The eldest princess sneered when she heard this: "Outsiders? Who are the outsiders? King Fu is my mother's sibling, and Ting'er is my son who was conceived in October, will they join forces to deceive me? ”
King Xun was asked, and he was a little embarrassed for a while.
In the end, King Hui was jealous of the identity of the eldest princess and the power of the Guo family, so he pulled the corner of King Laxun's clothes and apologized to her: "Sister Huang, don't blame, you should also be able to hear that your younger brothers are not making things difficult for you." ”
"Oh? Didn't you make it difficult for me? Who's that bothering? The eldest princess angrily rebuked, "Don't think I don't know your thoughts. There are some things I only say once! No matter how bad King Fu is, he is also the holy brother and the young son of the Queen Mother! You wonder if he didn't marry a wife and didn't have a father-in-law as a backer, right? ”
Most of today's princes have no real power, and they are all explained by the saints, and they have no real duties. In order to consolidate their status, most of them will marry the daughters of important ministers of the family, and use the power of their father-in-law as the backstage. On the contrary, the important ministers are also willing to marry their daughters to be princesses, leap to the emperor's relatives, improve their family status, and earn dignity.
The princes present today have all married good relatives, even the two young ones who have not yet married, they are all officially married. Only one of the Fu kings, Li Chengxuan, is left to be idle day by day, and there is no shadow of his father-in-law, and there is no one in the court to back him, which is one of the reasons why King Xun and King Hui dare to openly exclude him.
Even the eldest princess spoke so hard, in addition to the fact that she was the eldest daughter, it was also because she married into the Guo family, and her husband's family was prominent.
What she said just now had already made it clear that the siblings in the Li Tang royal family and the struggle for power had been made clear, Xiling Yue felt for the first time that she was really the biological daughter of the eldest princess, and their mother and daughter's unconcealable temperament was really the same.
King Xun and King Hui were questioned in front of the juniors, and their faces naturally couldn't be pulled down, and they were both stalemate and stopped talking. Seeing this, Xilingyue took a step forward and took the initiative to persuade: "Mother, don't be angry, I think the two uncles are also restless, and there is nowhere to vent their anger, so I made an inadvertent speech." ”
This is already a provocation, and the faces of King Xun and King Hui have changed. Guo Zhongting immediately cooperated and asked with a smile: "Oh? How did Yue'er find out? ”
Xilingyue smiled, and first pointed to the red marks on the back of King Xun's hand: "Look, these marks on the back of Uncle Xun's hand are obviously scratched by fingernails, or new injuries!" I don't know if it was a wife and concubine competing for favor, or was it caught by a brute? ”
She spoke explicitly, and everyone understood. King Xun's face was not good, and he squinted at her.
Xilingyue smiled again: "Oh, seeing that my uncle didn't have a single dog hair and cat hair on his body, it doesn't look like he was caught by a beast." ”
King Xun's face turned red: "You! ”
"Uncle, don't be angry!" Xiling Yue immediately gagged him, "Xichuan folk customs are simple, Yue'er has been in for eighteen years, and she has also developed an open-mouthed temperament, you won't be like a junior like me, right?" ”
"Uncle Xun Wang, naturally, won't." Guo Zhongting preemptively replied, "By the way, Yue'er, what happened to Uncle Wang?" ”
Xilingyue pretended to be solemn and turned to look at King Hui: "Dare to ask Uncle Wang, are you weak?" ”
King Hui's face darkened, as if he had been poked in the sore spot, but he was angry but did not refute it.
Xiling Yue sighed: "Don't hide it from my uncle, Yue'er's righteous brother is the seventh generation disciple of Sun Simiao, the king of medicine. Today, Yue'er smelled a strong smell on your body, which is the reason why someone secretly poisoned you and harmed your son's weak breath! ”
King Hui was shocked: "What smell, why can't I smell it?" ”
Xilingyue spread out her hands: "Naturally, you can't smell it, this is a kind of medicine, called 'Hundred Flowers Kill'." As the name suggests, every day is smoked on the body, and all the flowers are going to die, how can they leave heirs? ”
When King Hui heard this, he believed it, his face was gloomy and frightening, and he said goodbye to the eldest princess's family without saying a word, and he didn't even go to Penglai Palace, and left in a hurry.
Seeing this, King Xun didn't know that he couldn't bargain for anything, and pointed to Xilingyue and couldn't say anything anymore, so the latter pretended to smile innocently and grabbed the eldest princess's arm: "Okay, mother, don't let your grandmother wait, let's go quickly." ”
The eldest princess smiled like a flower: "Yes, it's not early, go quickly." ”
A few people left King Xun and others beside the covered bridge and walked away. After walking far, Guo Zhongting asked curiously: "Good girl, what is that 'Hundred Flowers Kill'?" ”
"I don't know, it's made up."
"Huh? You, you, you! Guo Zhongting was surprised, "Then how do you know that the prince heir is weak?" ”
Xilingyue glanced at the eldest princess and laughed: "My mother asked me to do my homework last night. ”
Guo Zhongting suddenly realized: "Oh you! What if the king is serious? ”
"It's just to make him take it seriously!" The eldest princess also snorted coldly, "Save him from having that leisure and leisurely every day, staring at your Uncle Fuwang." ”
After meeting the emperor, the eldest princess's family went to Penglai Hall to meet the queen mother.
The last time Xilingyue came here was to find a way to make clothes for the Queen Mother, but because of her low status, she didn't have the opportunity to see the Queen Mother herself, and only lived in the wing room of the side hall. But today's meeting was specially prepared for her by the Queen Mother. After half a month, the treatment is very different.
