Chapter Twenty-Nine: The First Meeting of the Queen

It's just strange to say, Xia Nanxuan pursed his lips, since he went back that day, he always had a sad look and closed eyes in his mind, which disturbed his restlessness, so that the hatred for her in his heart seemed to be lightened. But whenever he realized this, the appearance of Yan Xingluo would appear in his mind again......

Yanli was also at this time, although she had already made the decision to rely on Queen Ouyang Xian, she still couldn't make up her mind after all. It's just that something like that happened two days ago, Yanli's heart has changed, and now she can't face Xia Nanxuan normally, so just go on that road completely!

The bigger the gap between himself and Xia Nanxuan, the greater the possibility of success for him to gain the queen's trust. In this case, why bother with more trouble!

Xia Nanxuan took the lead in getting into the sedan chair, and Yan Li also followed into the sedan chair.

The journey was quite long, Yan Li closed her eyes to recuperate, and Xia Nanxuan was expressionless and did not say a word. In such silence, the palace was almost here, and Xia Nanxuan spoke: "The princess entered the palace with this king today, just cooperate with this king, don't say anything else." ”

"Okay." Yanli didn't open her eyes and only responded casually, but her heart was unconsciously filled with some bitterness, today is the first time she has seen the queen as Yanli, and it is also the beginning of her plan, how to say it I am afraid we have to wait and see.

After getting the palace, Xia Nanxuan took Yanli to the Empress Dowager Xuanning's dormitory first.

"Imperial grandmother." Xia Nanxuan pulled Yanli and bowed to the ground together, "My grandson and my granddaughter-in-law have come to greet you." ”

"Granddaughter-in-law Yanli has seen the imperial grandmother."

Empress Dowager Xuanning was dressed in a high-placket black wide-sleeved robe, decorated with yin red embroidery, the dark lines on the clothes were embroidered with dark ink and bright silk threads, and the tail finger wore a slender silver armor, which was inlaid with several pigeon-blood red gems, and her long hair was tied up with an ivory carved hairpin, although her face was no longer young, she could still see the beauty of her youth, and her face was kind and gentle.

The Empress Dowager Xuanning took a few steps forward and pulled up the wild goose glass with a smile, and looked up and down carefully: "You are also a beautiful person, why are there always some rumors outside!" ”

Yanli got up and looked at the Queen Mother, this is not the first time she has seen the Queen Mother, she has seen it when she was still in this palace when she was a child, but the Queen Mother at that time did not have much favor for her, so there was almost no intersection except when she went to see her mother.

"Grandmother Xie Huang complimented. Yan Lisheng is still self-aware, and she can't compare to her beautiful sister. Yan Li spoke shyly, and her words seemed to allude to Xia Nanxuan's desire to marry her sister.

Yanli had already thought that since she was going to make a play, she had to do the whole scene. Even in the Queen Mother, she has to vaguely show some dissatisfaction with Xia Nanxuan. In this way, you can be sure that nothing goes wrong.

Sure enough, as soon as she said this, the Queen Mother looked at Xia Nanxuan with a slight flash, but she knew that she was a grandson, Xia Nanxuan was originally a stubborn character, and it would be very difficult for him to change his mind.

The Queen Mother then patted Yanli's hand and said with a smile: "The mourning family has also heard about you and Xiaoliu, but since Xiaoliu married you, you are his wife, and you should work together in the future." Don't hold on to some of the past, haha. ”

Yanli smiled and nodded: "Yes, my granddaughter-in-law knows." ”

"Now the emperor is about to make a prince." The Queen Mother looked at Yanli with deep meaning in her eyes and smiled, "If you and Xiaoliu are of one heart and one mind, you want to come to the position of this queen......"

Yan Li was startled, and looked at the Queen Mother with wide eyes, as if she was sure of what she had just said. But the Queen Mother didn't say much, only nodded to Yanli with a smile of encouragement.

After another greeting, Xia Nanxuan and Yanli said goodbye to the Queen Mother and walked towards the emperor's bedroom.

On the way, Yanli pondered in her heart, according to what the Queen Mother said, she actually hoped that Xia Nanxuan would become the crown prince, which was not difficult to understand. Queen Ouyang's family is powerful, if she lets her child become the prince again, I am afraid that Qixia State is at risk of being controlled by foreign relatives.

In this way, it is better to hand over the country to a person who can belong to the throne wholeheartedly. Besides, Xia Yuxuan went to the Queen Mother for foster care for several years after the fire, and the Queen Mother should have more feelings for him.

Just thinking about this, Xia Nanxuan suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her in front of his eyes, and the expressionless and cold face was not good as soon as he spoke: "What the princess just said, haven't you forgotten that this king wants you not to say more?" ”

Yanli frowned and didn't speak.

Seeing this, Xia Nanxuan continued to say coldly: "Remember, after seeing my father and mother, don't say more. ”

"Yes, the concubine remembered."

In this way, Xia Nanxuan let go of her, and walked forward first with a flick of his robe.

Meeting Xia Xiao, the emperor of Qixia Kingdom, was in Xia Xiao's bedroom, Xuanyang Palace.

Xia Nanxuan took Yanli's hand and stepped into the palace, and Yanli raised her eyes to see the familiar figure wearing a bright yellow imperial robe.

How could she not be familiar with this figure? This is the person she always thought was her father when she was a child, and this is the person she wanted to be favored by him with Nanxuan's brother back then, this is ...... The man who brought himself and Xia Nanxuan's mother into the mysterious battle of the deep palace.

It's just that, compared with him in his memory, his sideburns are a little paler, and the wrinkles on his face seem to have deepened a little.

"Erchen has seen his father." Xia Nanxuan saluted first.

"Daughter-in-law Yanli has seen her father." Yanli also saluted with respect, her eyes drooping.

"Get up." Xia Xiao said with a smile, "The sixth princess married me Qixia far away to conclude the friendship between the two countries, which is really Nanxuan's blessing!" ”

Yanli smiled lightly and lowered her eyebrows: "Qixia Kingdom and Luoyan Country are friends, and Yanli is very satisfied to marry the prince." ”

Xia Xiao laughed, looked at Xia Nanxuan and joked: "Ah Xuan, look at how knowledgeable your princess is, you don't have to treat her badly in the future." Otherwise, this Luoyan country will settle accounts with his father, and his father won't know what to do! ”

Xia Nanxuan's face remained unchanged and he bowed, but he really didn't see much emotion on his face: "Yes, Erchen knows." ”

"Good boy." Xia Xiao turned to look at Yan Li and said gently, "Since you are married, you are a member of my Xia family, if Nanxuan bullies you in the future, you just have to come to your father, and your father will make decisions for you and promise not to let you be wronged!" ”

Yanli naturally looked flattered, and she hurriedly saluted and thanked: "Thank you, father." ”

When I got out of this Xuanyang Palace, I had to go to the last person to pay homage after marriage, Queen Ouyang Xian's bedroom, towards Feng Palace.

Yanli had seen Ouyang Xian when she was young, but her memory was not deep, probably because she was a girl and had never been favored, and the queen's gaze almost never stayed on her. But she remembered that the queen paid a lot of attention to Xia Nanxuan, and when she was a child, she heard Xia Nanxuan say that many times the queen went to Concubine Ling's bedroom to ask him how his homework was.

There was no word all the way, and when he arrived at the door of Chaofeng Palace, Xia Nanxuan stopped and took Yanli's hand, and he led her to walk in without squinting and warned: "Remember, don't say more." ”

Yanli smiled lightly, but this time she didn't answer, because she had already seen the queen.

I saw a woman in a long crimson blue dress, with one hand on the hand of a young father-in-law, slowly walking from inside. She wears a gold silk eight treasures beaded bun on her head, and a sunrise five phoenixes hanging bead hairpins; With a red gold plate and a red gold ring on his neck, and a long palace silk tied on the skirt, his demeanor is elegant and dignified between actions. Eight palace maids followed, divided into two sides.

"The son has seen the queen mother." Xia Nanxuan saluted.

"Daughter-in-law Yanli has seen the queen mother." Yanli saluted.

While speaking, the queen had already walked not far in front of them, she bent down slightly to help Yanli and Xia Nanxuan up, and said with a smile: "Good boy, get up quickly." ”

Yanli got up and looked up at her, and looked closer, the queen's face was coated with a light layer of rouge, and decorated with some fine pearls, just looking at the skin quality It was difficult to see the old state, even compared to Yanli's memory a few years ago, she had not changed much. There was a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth, if she didn't know that Xia Nanxuan's mother was indirectly killed by her, it would be difficult for Yanli to imagine that such a gentle woman was as poisonous as a snake and scorpion.

"I know that today is the day for you to go back to the palace to pay respects, and the queen mother is looking forward to you coming in this palace in the morning. The queen naturally took Yanli's hand and led her to the palace, "Come and come, it's windy outside, go to the palace with your mother first." ”

Keeping all her thoughts in her heart, Yanli smiled flatteredly, and walked into the Chaofeng Palace with the queen.

This is where her plan really begins.

Mother, An An is here, have you seen it? An An must find out who hurt you back then and avenge you.

After the three of them sat down, the queen ordered someone to build a pot of tea, the palace maid poured three bowls, handed Xia Nanxuan a bowl, and was about to hand it to Yanli, but the queen came first, and personally handed a bowl of tea to Yanli and said with a smile: "Come, taste this unique Qin tea in Qixia Kingdom." ”

Yan Li was flattered, bent over slightly and took the tea bowl with both hands, she took a sip gently, the tip of her nose smelled the slightest fragrance of tea, but the taste between her lips and teeth was slightly bitter and sweet, her eyes lit up: "Good tea." ”

"This is a specialty of the Xiachang Mansion, and only a little tribute was originally paid." The queen smiled lightly, "On weekdays, the queen mother is reluctant to take it out to entertain people." But the Queen Mother is glad to see you today. ”

"The same goes for the daughter-in-law!" Yan Li said brightly, "When the daughter-in-law came over, she was worried that the queen mother was the master of the harem, and she must be a serious one, for fear that she would not do well and make the queen mother unhappy." But I never thought that the queen mother was such a kind person. ”

The queen seemed to be amused by Yanli, she laughed, put her hand on Yanli's hand and said with a smile: "The queen mother also heard some rumors that the sixth princess of the wild goose country was arrogant, but she never thought that you were such a clever and gentle person. ”

Xia Nanxuan watched them sing and praise each other, there was still no expression on his face, but it was vaguely visible that the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

After chatting casually for a few more words, the queen changed the topic and said with a smile: "Yesterday, Nanwei entered the palace to visit the palace, but the palace heard that she went to the Xuanwang Mansion to see you a few days ago?" ”
