CHAPTER XXVI
Finally, Xia Nanxuan sat up and spoke, his face remained unchanged but his voice was unusually mocking: "The sixth princess of the Falling Wild Goose Country, Yan Li." What a good idea! ”
Yan Li's heart trembled, and her heart, which was not so painful in the face of the fragrant drama before, suddenly ached at this time.
Only then did she realize that in the face of his mocking tone, even though she had a thousand words in her heart, she couldn't say a word in her throat!
"The one this king wants to marry is Yan Xingluo." Xia Nanxuan's voice was a little colder when he saw that she didn't speak, but when he said the name Yan Xingluo, he softened again.
"I know." Yanli turned to look at him.
Xia Nanxuan's familiar face was as cold as when she first saw him many years later, his face was angular, the whole person was as sharp as a cold sword, cold and hurtful, the face that no matter how many times he looked at it, he felt that the face was extremely good-looking no longer had the roundness and immaturity of his youth, his cold gaze shot straight at Yanli, there was no warmth, only coldness.
Yanli's eyes were unconsciously dyed with a little sadness.
Xia Nanxuan looked at the slight sadness in her black eyes, and her expressionless face, which had always been cold and expressionless, suddenly sank, but when Yanli actually wanted to use bitter tricks on him, the women in the palace were the best at this, and he hated it deeply.
He suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth coldly, beckoned to Yanli, and said, "Come here." ”
Yan Li was slightly stunned, probably bewitched by his voice, she obediently walked over, stood on the edge of the bed and looked down at him slightly, but he suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist and pulled it forward, and she fell into his arms unexpectedly.
This is not the first time she has been held in his arms, but it is the first time in such an ambiguous scene, his arms are firm and warm, his black hair hangs in front of her eyes, his breath rings in her ears, and the tip of his nose lingers with the unique cold fragrance of his body.
She suddenly tried to straighten up, but she was tightly surrounded by a pair of strong arms, and his nice voice sounded in her ears: "Princess, what's the matter?" Isn't that what you want? ”
Somehow, when Xia Nanxuan hugged her, he felt that this touch was a little familiar, but he was full of suppressed anger at this time, and he didn't think about it at all.
Yan Li's body stiffened, she knew that he was just doing this to humiliate her, the tip of her nose suddenly became sore, and her heart was also filled with some grievances: "Xia Nanxuan, don't be like this." ”
Xia Nanxuan was silent, Xu because she called his name, Xu because of this vague familiarity, which made him feel a little pitiful at this time. However, if she is pitiful, then what about Arlo?!
People can't be disgraced, this woman is really a good means!
He pushed her away suddenly, and she fell directly from the edge of the bed to the ground because of her unstable body, but fortunately, due to her long-term martial arts practice, her reaction was faster than ordinary people, and her hands quickly supported the ground so that her face would not fall first.
"Don't think that if you are the princess of the Wild Goose Country, you can do whatever you want, except for the identity of the princess, you are nothing now." He looked at her coldly, "Get out." Trying to capture the old and indulge this set will not work for this king. ”
Listening to the chill in his words, she smiled softly, all this, she should have expected it a long time ago, didn't she? But why, the heart is uncontrollably convulsive?
Yanli slowly got up and walked out of the door, step by step, slowly and heavily, the whole room was quiet only the sound of her skirt rubbing against the ground, Xia Nanxuan looked at her thin back, and felt that she was a little helpless and a little stubborn, his lips were pursed, but his eyes were becoming more and more cold, she was using bitter tricks, and he would never be soft on her.
When Yanli returned to the Hibiscus Garden, Cailan was happily humming a little song to clean up, and when she saw Yanli walk in, she was also very surprised, and hurriedly put down the work in her hand, and came forward to ask, "Princess, you don't have a bed?" ”
"Hmm." Yanli replied casually, but her mind was very blank, and she didn't even know how she got back. Cai Lan saw that Yanli felt that something was wrong, so she only served Yanli and went to bed without asking more.
Yanli didn't sleep peacefully all night. On the morning of the second day, the woman waited in front of the hall early.
Yanli got up and went over, but saw the woman standing there with a bad face.
"Mrs. Zhang, what's wrong?"
Zhang Po gave a salute and said, "The princess went to bed last night, and I heard that the prince drove out Madame Jasmine because of this, which is excellent. But why was the princess kicked out later? ”
Yanli thought to herself that this was really a good thing not to go out, and bad things to spread thousands of miles, but she saw that Zhang Po was also in the spirit of being anxious for her to ask, so it was not easy to say anything, so she smiled and said: "The prince probably doesn't like this concubine." ”
Zhang Po looked at Yanli's expression, and thought to herself that this princess is really a big heart, and she has not had a round room with the prince for two days after marrying.
The princess's temperament is really quite calm and cold.
"Mrs. Zhang, Concubine Ben happens to have something to ask you today." Yanli didn't want to talk about this matter more, so she looked at it, and motioned for Cailan to reward some silver, then sat down and took a sip of tea.
"Princess, please ask, the old slave knows everything, and he has no end to it."
Yan Li slowly opened her mouth: "In eight days, this concubine will go to the palace with the prince to pay respects, but as a native of Luoyan Country, this concubine is not very familiar with the prince himself and the royal family of Qixia Kingdom, and I hope you can mention a few things." ”
When Mrs. Zhang heard this question, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, she thought about the princess when she first came to Qixia Kingdom, if she didn't talk carefully about the situation in this palace, I am afraid that it was really possible to accidentally commit a taboo and implicate the palace in vain, so she said:
"Back to the princess's words, the prince is the sixth prince of the Qixia Kingdom, his biological mother Concubine Ling died nine years ago, and then fostered under the name of Yan Guifei, six years ago after the death of Yan Guifei, the prince went to the queen mother, until two years ago the prince set up his own door.
The first thing you should see is the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother Xuanning, who is now old and has long ignored the affairs of the harem, but she is a powerful speaker, and you are careful. However, the Queen Mother has always loved the prince, so she will not embarrass you.
The second thing that should be met is His Majesty and the Queen. Your relationship with the prince is personally hired by His Majesty and His Majesty, so you don't need to worry about meeting Your Majesty.
You should pay attention to the queen mother, the queen mother's surname is Ouyang, a single name is a Xian word, her brother is the general Ouyang Tianhai, and her father is the prime minister Ouyang Yuan, whose family power is very great, you must not offend. ”
"Oh?" Yanli raised her eyebrows, "Can Mrs. Zhang tell this concubine about this queen mother?" ”
In fact, Yanli has always suspected that the fire that burned her mother to death was set by Queen Ouyang Xian, because Xia Nanxuan's biological mother Jin Lingyan died indirectly in the hands of Ouyang Xian. This woman's family relied on the power of her own family to cover the sky in the harem, how could she tolerate Xia Xiao's favor for her mother back then?
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, her face suddenly became embarrassed, and she expected Ai Ai to say for a long time: "Princess, it's not that the old slave doesn't want to say it, but she can't say it!" ”
"Concubine Ben heard that the death of the prince's biological mother, Concubine Ling, was also related to the queen's mother?" Yanli asked tentatively.
But as soon as these words came out, Mrs. Zhang's face turned pale with shock, she hurriedly looked around, and was relieved to see that only a maid brought by Yanli was there, "Princess, don't talk nonsense!" If others listen to it and reach the queen's ears, I'm afraid it will affect the prince! ”
Seeing that Zhang Po was so frightened, Yanli covered her mouth as if she was frightened, and hurriedly said, "It's the concubine's negligence." ”
Zhang Po was probably really frightened, and she didn't want to say much later, but Yan Li had already understood the current situation in the palace in her heart, but she didn't expect the queen's power to reach such a point, she frowned and pondered, in this way, if she wants to find out the truth about the fire, I'm afraid it will be difficult.
What should I do?
Five days have passed in a blink of an eye, and since that night Xia Nanxuan summoned Yanli's attendant and drove her away, Yanli has never had anyone to pass the word. No one bothered her, and Yanli was at ease.
It's just that during the period, Cheng Po, who was going to check Yanli's body, came to visit, and her posture was very low, almost flattering Yanli to give her the antidote, but Yanli is not stupid, if she really gives the antidote, according to Cheng Po's temperament, she will bite her without turning around? Therefore, Yanli only hung her, so that she did not dare to continue to be powerful.
In the past five days, the fastest news in the palace is about her, nothing more than her ordinary appearance, on the day of the wedding, the prince did not have a round room with her but accepted Jasmine as a concubine, and then was called to sleep but was driven out by the prince that night, and some also added fuel and vinegar to say that the prince was angry when he saw her, saying that such an ugly woman dared to climb on the king's bed.
Yanli only listened to it as a joke, she really didn't care much about what others said about her.
In this palace, the only one who can hurt her is him who she cares about.
The sun was shining on this day, and Yanli's mood was rarely brighter, and she changed into a simple aqua blue Dianhua butterfly top with a Baiyuluo skirt of the same color, evoking Cailan: "Let's go shopping." ”
Yanli didn't let the maid in the palace accompany her, so she only asked for a general direction and walked with Cailan at will.
I was walking to see the gate, but Yan Li saw a small sedan chair coming from not far away, the sedan chair is very exquisite, the four corners are upturned and decorated with four pearls, the curtains and door curtains, and the curtains are all of the best silk silk, which is decorated with gold and silver silk threads embroidered with some rich flowers. There were dozens of people in the team next to him, and they looked very magnificent.
A pair of Qianqianyu hands lifted the sedan curtain, and a woman in purple got off the sedan chair with the support of the maid, her appearance was that kind of cold and beautiful, looking like she was thirty years old, and there was a kind of nobility between her eyebrows. The purple smoke yarn is embroidered with five-color gold thread with the colorful auspicious clouds flying in the morning sun and the moon, and the lower bunch is a butterfly and a hundred flowers and smoke phoenix tail skirts of the same color. The wind bun fog sideburns are obliquely inserted in a line to open the jade hairpin. The demeanor is slender, and the waist is curled around Nana.
