Chapter XXVII
The woman glanced casually at the gate of the palace, and then walked towards the palace surrounded by a group of maids. When the guards in front of the door saw her walking inward, they didn't stop her and just saluted: "I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess."
After a short time, the woman walked not far from Yanli.
Yanli didn't avoid her, and continued to walk forward with Cailan, but Yanli's non-avoidance was a little unruly in the eyes of the woman, she whispered a few words to the maid beside her, and then a few people walked over to Yanli.
"Where did the girl who doesn't understand the rules come from, and she doesn't shy away when she sees the eldest princess!" The palace maid at the head scolded, "Get out of the way quickly!" ”
Yanli stopped, squinting at these people and not speaking.
This woman turned out to be the first daughter of Queen Ouyang Xian, the eldest princess Xia Nanwei. At that time, the eldest princess was already married to the concubine of the lord of Zilai Mansion, one of the nine mansions, so she was not in the palace, and she had never met her.
But the Chuanyang City where the palace is located is the capital of Zilai Mansion, and now Xia Nanwei lives in the mansion of the lord of Chuanyang City, which is not far from the palace. She came this time, it can't be said that it has something to do with the queen.
Cai Lan was a little angry: "Where are you the girls who don't know the rules!" Keep your dog's eyes open and take a good look, this is the princess of King Xuan's mansion! ”
As soon as she said this, the maids were immediately dumbfounded, and took a closer look at Yanli, only to see that her clothes were not gorgeous, and she did not apply any fat powder on her face, although her complexion was fairer and transparent, she was definitely not beautiful, and she was not at all similar to the noble ladies they were used to seeing on weekdays.
Xia Nanwei also heard Cailan's words at this time, and was slightly surprised in her heart, she thought that even if this Princess Xuan was a princess who was not amazing, but in the end she should be a luxuriously dressed person, but she didn't expect it to be such an elegant person, looking at Yanli carefully, she slightly retracted her unruly look, and said: "It turned out to be Princess Xuan." ”
"It turned out to be Princess Celestia." Yanli said with a smile, "Yanli didn't know the princess when she first came to Qixia Kingdom, so I hope you will forgive me." ”
Xia Nanwei looked at Yanli and didn't look like a temperamental, so she smiled and said, "Where, it's rude in this palace." Nan Xuan is the sixth brother of the palace, and now the palace is happy to see him marry the princess, and he came to see what the princess looks like. ”
Yanli was just about to speak, but she heard a familiar and beautiful voice not far away: "It was originally the king who took the princess to visit the imperial sister, and now he is bothering the imperial sister to come and see it in person, it is really the king's negligence!" ”
Yan Li followed the sound and looked, Xia Nanxuan walked over from a short distance in a black robe, his handsome face was still cold, but when he walked to Yan Li's side, he suddenly naturally stretched out his hand to hold her hand, looking like a newlywed love.
Yan Li was stunned in her heart, but in the end, she still smiled with a look that cooperated with him.
Xia Nanwei looked at the hands they were holding and the expression of Yanli just now, her eyes flashed slightly, and she said with a smile: "Now that you are newly married and loving, this palace should not be disturbed at this time, but I am really curious in my heart, the sixth brother should not blame the imperial sister." ”
"Where is the royal sister! Come, inside please. ”
The three of them went to the front hall of the palace and sat down, and the maid served tea, and then chatted with each other.
Xia Nanwei picked up the tea bowl and blew it gently, but she didn't drink it, she only smiled: "I haven't seen the princess in the palace at the wedding banquet before, but today I see that the princess is really dignified and polite, but it's cheap for my sixth brother!" ”
Yanli smiled and waved her hand: "Where, the prince is wise and martial, and it is my blessing to be able to marry the prince." ”
Xia Nanwei's eyes rolled, took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "The princess must be very fond of my younger brother, too, who is called Nan Xuansheng with such a good appearance, I don't know how much I have been stunned by this young lady in Chuanyang City, princess, you have to watch it closely." ”
Listening to Xia Nanwei's ridiculous tone, a trace of blush appeared on Yanli's face, and she said angrily: "Sister Huang! ”
Xia Nanxuan smiled lightly when he heard this, "Although this king has only been married to the princess for a few days, he found that the princess is smart and has a good heart, which really wins my heart, how can this king still look down on the rest of the young ladies." ”
Hearing this, Yan Li's face was silent, but her heart was very slanderous. In this way, Xia Nanxuan and Yan Li and Xia Nanwei chatted for a long time, but in fact, they chatted about trivial and useless things.
Xia Nanwei got up and prepared to leave when she saw that the sky was getting dark, and she smiled and said, "It's getting late today, and the palace will stay soon." ”
Hearing this, Xia Nanxuan got up and said, "Then the king will send one to the imperial sister." ”
Xia Nanwei saw that Xia Nanxuan wanted to send her out, so she hurriedly pulled Yanli's sleeve and said with a smile, "Sixth brother, you can stop, the imperial sister still wants to talk more about the affairs between women with the princess, just let the princess give me a ride, don't always follow." ”
Xia Nanxuan's face remained unchanged when he heard this, and he only stared at Xia Nanwei, and only when Xia Nanwei felt a little uncomfortable did he speak: "Okay, it's the sixth brother who was negligent and too close to the imperial sister." ”
The last sentence Xia Nanxuan didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but it seemed to increase his tone, Xia Nanwei didn't say much when she heard it, she just smiled and pulled Yanli out.
After getting out of the front hall, Xia Nanwei pulled Yanli with a smile on her face and said, "You are much younger than the palace, and the palace will call you sister." ”
After speaking, she didn't wait for Yanli to answer, and then smiled again: "Sister, sister has something to say, don't mind." My sister originally heard the recent rumors in Chuanyang City, saying that the sixth brother wanted to marry the fourth princess of your country, but somehow married you later, so she was quite a little cold to you, and my sister was worried, so I came to take a look today.
But looking at it today, the sixth brother and you seem to be quite affectionate, and my sister doesn't understand where those rumors came from! ”
Yan Li sneered in her heart, this Xia Nanwei really came to inquire about the situation.
The situation of the royal family of Qixia Kingdom, she had a plan in her heart after asking that Zhang Po before. Now that Xia Xiao's body is getting weaker but he has not set up a prince, all the princes are fighting openly and secretly for this position.
Among them, the three concubines of Empress Ouyang Xian are the most likely, namely the eldest prince Xia Nanjing, the third prince Xia Nanshuo and the fifth prince Xia Nankun. But Xia Nanjing doesn't seem to have much thought about the throne, and Xia Nankun is a stubborn and stubborn nature, so among the three concubines of the queen, the third prince Xia Nanshuo has the loudest voice.
But in addition to these three, there is another person who also has some voices in the court, and this person is Xia Nanxuan.
Although Xia Nanxuan didn't have a concubine and didn't show much talent, how could the old ministers in the court really not know that he was a real talent? Moreover, Xia Nanxuan acted properly on weekdays and did not have any fault, and this time he led his troops to rescue the generals of Luoyan Country for the first time, and he solved the dilemma, and won the favor of the princess of Luoyan Kingdom.
Therefore, there are still some people in the DPRK who are willing to support Xia Nanxuan, but the queen is powerful, and these people don't dare to show their hearts too much. Now, the queen wants to support her son to be the emperor, how can she tolerate Xia Nanxuan? Xia Nanxuan married himself again, and with the support of Luoyan Kingdom, how could the queen sleep peacefully as before?
In this way, Xia Nanwei will come to inquire about it!
The queen's purpose is nothing more than to know that Xia Nanxuan doesn't like herself, and wants to see if she can find a breakthrough point from herself, if she and Xia Nanxuan have some dislikes, or even if she and Xia Nanxuan's relationship breaks down and then resents him, it will naturally be excellent for the queen.
And like that...... Yanli suddenly stared, and according to this line of thought, a feasible path suddenly appeared in her mind.
What if she created a suspicion by herself so that the queen thought that she really hated Xia Nanxuan, and then attached herself to the queen and helped her deal with Xia Nanxuan?
In this way, he can gain the trust of the queen, and it is naturally not difficult to find out the truth about the fire back then, and he can also better understand the queen's movements. If there is a dead end against Xia Nanxuan, maybe he can find out the news in advance.
It's just that......
Yanli frowned, in this way, Xia Nanxuan would inevitably hate her without knowing it. first hated her for using means to break up him and Yan Xingluo, and even hated her for being his princess, and even more hating her for clinging to his mother-killing enemy!
Yan Li didn't know if she could be strong enough to bear his hatred, but at this time, Xia Nanxuan already hated her, and there was no more suitable path than this. She really hopes that Xia Nanxuan can fall in love with her now, but she can't let go of her mother's enmity, the queen's power is too big, and she can't deal with it with ordinary methods alone, only in this way can she find an opportunity.
No matter how difficult this road is, she will continue to walk.
Yanli has never been an indecisive person, and in a moment she is mentally prepared to face all possible pain in the future. After thinking about it a thousand times, Yanli finally put on a sad expression and sighed: "I didn't expect my sister to be so warm-hearted!" Sister me, I ...... I also have a bitterness that I can't speak. ”
Xia Nanwei immediately came to her senses when she saw Yanli like this, and said in her heart that these six princesses were indeed unsmart as rumored, so it would be much easier to do. She hurriedly held Yanli's hand with concern and said, "Sister, what's wrong?" Aren't you as loving as you were just now, but the sixth brother treats you really badly? If that's the case, my sister said that she couldn't help you. ”
When Yanli heard this, she seemed to be a little flattered, and she hurriedly looked around at the maids around Xia Nanwei, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped. Xia Nanwei naturally knew that she had something to say, so she pulled her forward and ordered, "You don't have to come along." ”
When she arrived at a secluded place, Yanli looked at Xia Nanwei with some tears in her eyes, and said with tears in her eyes: "Good sister! Then you must be the master for your sister! ”
"Sister, don't cry, and tell your grievances to your sister." Xia Nanwei patted Yanli's back and spoke softly.
"My sister said that my sister didn't want to laugh at me!" Yanli stomped her feet lightly, looking embarrassed, "Sister may have heard that the prince was originally going to propose to my fourth emperor sister, but when I saw the prince at the banquet that day, I felt that he was attracted like the white moon, so my father asked me to marry the prince."
My father cherished the loss of my mother at an early age, and I never had a caring person by my side. I thought that as long as I married and became the prince's wife, the prince would definitely accept me, but I didn't think that the prince would not come to join me and me on the first night...... Round room with me! ”
After speaking, Yanli turned her cheeks red with shame, and turned around and didn't want to say anything more.
