Yongyang Palace.

The queen has not been happy for a few days, so she has not left the palace much, and she is leaning on the chaise longue to recuperate at the moment, when the voice of the maid suddenly came from outside: "Queen Qiyu, the virtuous concubine has arrived, and she is waiting outside the palace." ”

"Oh, Nanyan is here," the eldest aunt slowly helped the queen up and drank a sip of water, the queen said "um", and said to the eldest aunt: "You go and invite Concubine Xian in." ”

"Yes, sis. ”

A gust of breeze blew into the queen's bedroom with Wei Nanyan's brisk pace, she was dressed in a lake blue sixteen-layer tulle palace dress today, and the two blue butterfly hairpins on the falling horse bun were very eye-catching, and she smiled and saluted the queen, and then said: "It's not hot these two days, the queen is so lazy, why don't you go out of the Yongyang Palace?"

The queen smiled and stretched out her hand to pull her over, and said, "I haven't been happy for the past two days, so I don't bother to go out." What's the matter if you don't go out of Yongyang Palace, aren't you coming to see the palace?"

Wei Nanyan nodded seriously, seemed to think for a moment, and then said: "Two days ago, Wei Yan came to the palace and told the concubine something during the chat, and the concubine didn't care too much, but after thinking about it for the past two days, I still have to hurry up and tell the queen mother, after all, this matter has something to do with the prince." ”

"What does it have to do with the crown prince?" the queen propped up slightly, "What's the matter?"

"You also know that the younger brother and the prince are closer. On that day, Wei Yan entered the palace, and the concubine heard him mention that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince already had a candidate for the crown princess, and it was estimated that he would enter the palace in the next few days to ask His Majesty and the queen to marry. ”

The queen was a little surprised, and half sat up and asked, "Is there such a thing? Do you know which lady in the capital is it? Why didn't the prince tell the palace." ”

Wei Nanyan smiled slightly, and said slowly: "The queen can't blame the prince for this matter, it's really that this girl not only has a beautiful appearance, but also acts a little mysterious." No, it seems that she has only returned to Beijing in the past few days. ”

Although the queen is indifferent now, after all, she is not ignorant of things outside the palace, and after a little thought, she was shocked, and suddenly said: "Are you talking about the one from Lin Fengtai's family in the Ministry of Rites before-",

"Niangniang is smart, so naturally she is the one. Thinking about it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a very high vision, if it weren't for the fairy beauty of Miss Lin, how could he get into his eyes. ”

As soon as the queen heard that it was Lin Yuebai, she immediately remembered the situation on the day she first entered the palace, as well as how the prince wanted to marry Lin Yuebai back then, and took her to Youzhou and other past events, and immediately felt that this Lin family must be a water-based poplar woman, who seduced the prince back then, and now comes to hook up with the prince Yao, thinking of this, the queen sank her face and said: "Isn't she the daughter of a criminal minister, how dare she go back to Beijing privately? Who allowed her to come back?"

"No, don't you know, Niangniang? It was her uncle, the Jiao family of the household, who brought her back. ”

"Oh, it's the head of the household, Jiao Ran...... Yes, Jiao Ran's wife Mo Caiyue is also from her mother's family in this palace, she used to meet in this palace, and she loves this niece very much. Alas, she is really confused, the Lin family has been convicted for a long time, and she still has dealings with the Lin family!"

"That Jiao Ran's sister is Lin Yuebai's mother, and I think he cares about the friendship between brother and sister, and he is reluctant to let his niece wander outside. After Prince Hengzhu ascended the throne, he was amnesty, and the Lin family's sin was not so serious, so the Jiao family thought about taking her back to Beijing to take care of her. ”

"Wandering?" the queen frowned, thought for a moment and said: "This palace remembers that she was good friends with that crazy girl Li Yaojin, didn't I hear a few years ago that she went to Li Yaojin's Xiaonanguo and has been messing with that crazy girl all the time." Could it be that the days of the Nanguo Mansion in Caiyun City, which is like spring all year round, are not easy, and she still needs to wander outside? Hmph, it must have been when she learned that Yao'er had won the position of the crown prince, so she moved her mind to become the crown princess, so she returned to Beijing - no, how could the prince know her?"

"When the prince was still a guard in the palace, he worked as an errand in Princess Heya's Chenghuan Xiaozhu, and I think I met Miss Lin at that time - now that I think about it, it was about love at first sight. ”

"Love at first sight?" The queen was a little angry, and snorted: "No, this palace will never agree to this matter!

Wei Nanyan knew that the queen would not agree easily, but she was not in a hurry, so she took a sip of tea slowly before saying: "Listening to Wei Yan, the prince has long been deeply in love with Miss Na Lin, and he has always remembered her in his heart since he first met in Chenghuan Xiaozhu, and the Lin family has always had rumors of a phoenix's life, saying that she is a noble person, and sooner or later she will be a mother, and I think the prince also believes this, so he wants to marry her back as the princess." ”

The queen still frowned, and her face was angry: "That's not okay. What is her identity, even if she is not a criminal minister, at most she is a commoner, there is a stain on her family, and her parents are still in exile - even if she is the niece of the Jiao family, how can she match the prince with such an identity, and if she says it, she will not laugh off her big teeth! From the Zheng'er of the palace has been charmed by her, and now she has come to seduce Yao'er again, is it possible that the sons of the royal family of the Li Dynasty are all fascinated by such a woman? This matter will not be agreed to by the palace anything!"

Seeing that the queen was a little excited, Wei Nanyan didn't rush to speak, and made a gesture towards Si Qing, and Si Qing nodded and retreated. Seeing her suddenly retreat, the queen asked, "Concubine Xian, is this?"

Nan Yan wanted to talk to her aunt about something, so she didn't like them to be around. Wei Nanyan looked at the queen with a smile, the queen understood, and waved her hand, and the eldest aunt on the side led everyone in the house to retreat. In this life, Wei Nanyan said earnestly: "Auntie, you are a straight-hearted person and have no scheming. Even if you are unhappy about this matter, Nan Yan still has to persuade you, you really shouldn't oppose it, but you should vigorously support His Royal Highness the Prince!"

The queen was puzzled and asked: "Why? This is the palace's own daughter-in-law, the words of the parents' order matchmaker, are you not satisfied, and the palace can't mention it?"

"There is a folk saying that 'the son is not the mother', has my aunt ever heard it?"

"Yes, but—"

"But aunt, the current Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not your own son...... If you suppress him with the identity of the queen and the mother-in-law, and don't let him marry the Lin family, he will naturally not dare to disobey you, but you and his mother-son relationship will be estranged from then on. Wei Nanyan looked at the queen's slightly dull complexion and the lines at the corners of her eyes, looked at the subtle changes in her eyes, and said word by word: "If it is a mother-in-law, the son really likes it, and he always has to compromise in the end, because only a mother and son can be deeply affectionate!"

"The ...... of the palace" The queen sat up straight and slowly tilted towards the chaise longue, her shoulders shrunk slightly, as if she was very tired and seemed to be very sad. When Wei Nanyan saw her appearance, she was already seven or eight points sure in her heart, and gently brought a cup of tea next to her and presented it to the queen: "Auntie, can you take a sip of tea?"

"Let it go. ”

"Why don't you rub your shoulders with Nan Yan?"

"No need. ”

"That's—"

"Nanyan!"

"What does my aunt command?"

"Hongu ...... This palace really treats Li Yao as the real child of this palace!"

The corners of Wei Nanyan's mouth showed an almost undetectable smile, and he nodded: "Nanyan understands." ”
