Chapter 64: A dilemma
"Get up, come and sit." The Queen Mother's face was still smiling, and she couldn't see that she was a little anxious about the Liuqu case.
"Auntie, my mother entered the palace just now." Liu Yuyang couldn't wait to speak. "Qu'er ......"
"Stand down, all of you." The Queen Mother interrupted her words and motioned for everyone in the palace to go out.
Liu Yuyang simply told the Queen Mother what she heard from her mother. "Auntie, although Qu'er said that he beat Lin Qingxu, isn't he okay now, you can ask the emperor for a favor and let him deal with Qu'er lightly."
"Didn't you tell the mourning family before that Qu'er would do this after being humiliated by Lin Qingxu?" The Queen Mother was obviously dissatisfied with Liu Yuyang's previous deception.
"This ...... Yang'er didn't know that it was written in her father's letter to Yang'er at that time. Presumably Qu'er did this and knew that he was unreasonable, so he came up with such a statement to deceive the family. Yang'er and her father will never lie to you. Seeing that the Queen Mother's attitude towards herself has changed somewhat, Liu Yuyang is a little anxious.
"Auntie, you can't ignore Qu'er! You've watched him grow up! ”
"This is natural, what kind of person is Lin Qingxu, and he dares to teach Qu'er a lesson." Even if she was unhappy, the Queen Mother still favored her nephew.
"Auntie, my father also asked me to tell you that if Qu'er's affairs are used by An Guogong and them, it will definitely be detrimental to our Liu family. Qu'er himself threatened others to collude with others, if they involved his father, then his father's career would be over. My father is now the pillar of our family, and if something happens to him, what will we do with the two of us! ”
Liu Yuyang is really anxious, although she also loves Liuqu, but this kind of love is far from caring more than her future, what she cares about is not whether Liuqu will be dealt with, but that she can't be involved in the entire Liu family by this matter.
At the end of the day, human nature is selfish, and when faced with one's own life choices, this selfishness can be magnified countless times.
"Don't worry, my brother is Qian'er's uncle after all, and he won't be so ruthless. Besides, even if Zhao Jing wants to implicate his brother, it depends on Qian'er's meaning in the end. ”
"I hope my aunt will persuade the emperor well."
"Yang'er, don't worry, the mourning family is Qian'er's mother, will he not listen to what the mourning family says?" The Queen Mother is very confident in her position in Li Yiqian's heart.
"But after all, this matter still involves Xin Zhaoyi's family, and the emperor ...... him" Liu Yuyang was a little hesitant, looking at the emperor's recent state, she was very worried about the influence of the queen mother on him.
"Humph! The mourning family doesn't believe that Qian'er wants to bear the infamy of unfilial piety for a woman. Okay, Yang'er, you go back first, the mourning family will solve this matter, don't worry, no one in this harem will be a threat to you, and the queen's position must be someone from the Liu family! A trace of ruthlessness flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes, the position she had worked so hard to obtain would definitely fall into the hands of the Liu family, so as to preserve the glory of her descendants of the Liu family.
Liu Yuyang was very happy to listen to the Queen Mother's words, and with the Queen Mother's assurance, she was in the bag.
It's just that she didn't notice that what the Queen Mother said was that the queen mother must belong to the Liu family, but she was not the only one in the Liu family, and there would be new people entering the palace when she died.
Liu Yuyang left Fushou Palace with joy.
"Ying'er, what do you mean by Qian'er?" After Liu Yuyang left, the Queen Mother thought about it and asked the person standing next to her.
"The slave maid thought, the emperor is afraid of the impeachment of the imperial history." Ying'er thought for a while, and then said, "After all, Lin Qingxu is the son of the imperial history, and the matter is so big, if the emperor tries to maintain it, I am afraid it will damage the emperor's reputation." ”
Ying'er was a dowry who followed the Queen Mother into the palace in the past, and she has been in the palace for many years, and earlier she accompanied the Queen Mother to win everyone in the harem of the first emperor, and she is the Queen Mother's absolute confidant. Sometimes the Queen Mother trusts her better than Li Yiqian.
"Really?" The Queen Mother was obviously a little skeptical. "Let's go, let's go see Qian'er."
In this way, the Queen Mother took people to the Qiangong.
What made the Queen Mother angry was that Li Yiqian was not there. After asking the little eunuch at the door, he found out that he took Mu Xiu to Lanxi Palace.
It turned out that Li Yiqian had long expected that today's events would soon reach the ears of the Queen Mother, and he didn't stay out long with Lin Yaxin. After rushing back to the palace, he went to Lanxi Palace, in order to divert the Queen Mother's attention from Lin Yaxin.
"You go and tell the emperor, and you will say that the mourning family is waiting for him in Fushou Palace." After speaking, the Queen Mother turned around and left.
The little eunuch looked a little angry when he saw the queen mother, and he didn't know what he had done to make her angry, and he was terrified. Knowing that the person next to him pushed him, he reacted and hurriedly ran in the direction of Lan Xi Palace.
In the Lanxi Palace, Li Yiqian is in Lanyu's residence.
"Your Majesty, this is the latest osmanthus cake that the concubine has learned, you can taste it." Lan Yu shyly presented his new work.
However, this osmanthus crisp is not new to her, it turned out that when she was in Chen's house, Chen Jing liked this osmanthus crisp very much, she took a lot of effort to come up with fresh ideas, improve the taste of osmanthus crisp, and then Chen Jing was promoted and became her personal maid.
Li Yiqian reached out and picked up a piece and took a small bite. Looking at Lan Yu's expectant eyes, he said with a smile: "Concubine Ai really has a pair of skillful hands, and the snacks made here are so sweet, just like Concubine Ai." ”
"Your Majesty~" Hearing Li Yiqian's voice, Lan Yu glared at him with disgust.
"Haha, Aifei, you are so cute! But don't do this osmanthus cake next time, it will save hurting your hands, and I will feel distressed. ”
Lan Yu was stunned when she heard this, and said with some grievances: "Does the emperor think that the concubines are not delicious?" ”
Li Yiqian hugged her, leaned on her ear and whispered, "How come, this pastry is as delicious as a concubine." ”
"The emperor will make fun of his concubines!" Lan Yu stomped her feet in shame, more like a coquette.
Looking at Lan Yu's instantly flushed face, Li Yiqian smiled evilly. "Concubine Ai let me taste it today." As he spoke, his hand moved dishonestly.
The experience of the two lives combined, it is not an exaggeration to say that Li Yiqian is a veteran of the love field, and soon, Lan Yu was moved by his teasing.
"Your Majesty, the concubine misses you~" Lan Yu's eyes were like silk, and her breath was a little uneven. Although her appearance is not the best, she is emotionally moved at this time, and there is a sense of youth and charm under a closer look. Maybe it's because he hasn't been sleeping for long.
Just when everything was developing towards the scene that Lan Yu was looking forward to, the little eunuch finally arrived at Lanxi Palace with the Queen Mother's password.
There was a knock on the door, accompanied by the message of the palace maid who was close to the blue rain. "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother summoned you."
Li Yiqian instantly regained his indifference, let go of Lan Yu and said, "I know." ”
Lan Yu secretly hated her for ruining her good deeds, and her face was distorted for a moment, but at this time she behaved very decently.
"Your Majesty, go quickly, the Queen Mother must have something important looking for you." Although she said so, she still held Li Yiqian's hand, and the reluctance in her eyes made people understand it at a glance.
"I'll go to the queen mother's place and I'll be with you in a moment." Patting her hand, Li Yiqian strode away.
After he left, Lan Yu's face immediately changed.
——————
"Queen Mother, Erchen heard that you went to the Qiangong." Li Yiqian walked into Fushou Palace with a smile.
"What's the matter, does Qian'er think that the mourning family can't even go to the Qiangong now?" may be the reason for the empty pounce just now, the Queen Mother's tone is not very good.
"How so? Next time you have something to do, just ask someone to call Erchen, so as not to let you run for nothing like today. Li Yiqian smiled and coaxed the Queen Mother.
"The mourning family knows that Qian'er is the most filial." The Queen Mother said such a sentence without any meaning.
Li Yiqian immediately knew what the Queen Mother was going to say next, and sure enough, the next sentence of the Queen Mother said about Liuqu.
"The mourning family heard that Qu'er's case has been tried today, I don't know what Qian'er plans to do?" The Queen Mother looked at Li Yiqian fixedly, and did not allow him to avoid this topic.
"Queen Mother, this is a political matter, so don't bother with it." Li Yiqian was a little helpless, he knew the queen mother's thoughts. Not to mention that he didn't plan to help Liu Qu in the first place, even if he didn't have Lin Yaxin's relationship, he had to consider the meaning of the officials and the people.
"It's a political affair! Didn't Qu'er just beat someone? What's the big deal! If he wasn't Xin Zhaoyi's brother, would you still insist on it like this? The Queen Mother looked at Li Yiqian very dissatisfied. Qu'er is your cousin, after all, there is a difference between intimacy and intimacy, and Qian'er will not waste family affection for a woman. ”
"Mother, it's not that simple." Li Yiqian carefully analyzed the benefits and disadvantages with the Queen Mother.
Therefore, if you let Qu'er go unchecked this time, your sons will be in a dilemma if they encounter such a problem again in the future. Queen Mother, can you bear to watch your sons advance and retreat? Li Yiqian smiled bitterly. Although he said something exaggerated to the Queen Mother, most of them were true, which was one of the reasons why he asked Yang Lingding to try the case. He wants to take this opportunity to give those gentlemen a good reminder.
"Is it really that serious?" Although what Li Yiqian said was very reasonable, the Queen Mother was still a little skeptical.
"Indeed."
Although the Queen Mother takes a fancy to her mother's family, she knows that most of her wealth comes from her son, if her son is separated from her, then even if she is the Queen Mother, her life may not be easy. She can lose her temper with Qian'er on some small things on weekdays, which is also a way to enhance the relationship between their mother and son, but she still doesn't interfere easily in things like this that involve Jiangshan Sheji.
"Then you can do it. Just remember to teach him a lesson, and you must save the ditch and not hurt his life. Although the Queen Mother was reluctant to suffer her nephew, who she regarded as a parent, she was helpless.
"Erchen has his own sense of proportion, I only hope that Qu'er will not act like this in the future."
Li Yiqian accompanied the Queen Mother and talked for a while, which relieved the Queen Mother's heart before leaving.
