Chapter 20: The Disharmony between Mother and Child
returned to the East Palace with Rongji, and originally wanted to occupy the bedroom and close the door first, so as to save the need to sleep with Rongji. But as soon as I entered the hall, I saw a middle-aged woman covered in golden light sitting on the main seat, and on the side was the slender and slender Su Yao County Lord.
The middle-aged woman was dressed in a golden brocade dress, and her face was exquisite, like a finely carved stone statue of Guanyin, not angry but mighty. Although there is no resemblance between her eyebrows and Rong Ji, the only one who dares to sit on the throne in the East Palace is probably Rong Ji's queen mother.
"Queen Mother, why don't you go back to rest at such a late hour? It's not too late to find your son in the morning. Ling Hu Rongji's tone was alienated.
The queen didn't care about Linghu Rongji's attitude, and with the support of Su Yao and the palace maid, she slowly approached, "I heard Su Yao say that you were fascinated by a female Taoist priest who left the country, so you waited from evening to now, I didn't expect you to really go to her!"
The queen's golden steps on her temples swayed slightly, and her demeanor was still generous and decent, but when she looked at me, her sharp eyes silently revealed her hostility towards me.
Linghu Rongji was displeased, "She is the crown princess I identified, is there a problem with finding my daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door?"
The queen smiled gently, and pulled Linghu Rongji aside, "Ji'er likes it, it's very good." It's just that she has a humble status, vulgar behavior, and no model of everyone's beauty. If she is accepted as a concubine, I am afraid that the civil and military ministers will laugh shamefully. ”
I was so angry that she didn't know me, so how could she judge me for being rude! Just as I was about to break out of the door, Rong Ji grabbed my elbow with one hand and brought me to him, facing the queen, "Queen Mother, you hear me clearly, I will only say these words once." She is my woman, and no one can say anything bad about her. If anyone chews the root of your tongue in front of you in the future and sows discord in front of you, I will be tortured to death in a thousand ways. ”
I looked at the queen calmly, I didn't do anything immoral, and even if I did, what would I do with her? I firmly believe that if she really cares for her son very much, and Zhirongji cares about me very much, she should not embarrass me too much.
The queen looked at Rong Ji in a daze, as if she didn't expect him to be so serious. Su Yao beside her was even more red-eyed, "Brother Rongji, my aunt just cares about you, how can you contradict him and chill her heart?"
Linghu Rongji didn't pay attention to him, but turned behind him and ordered the guards at the door, "Who allowed you to let the county lord of Su Yao in? You dare to let the concubines that your father is about to include in the palace? This is to let our father and son separate!"
And the guards behind him pounced and knelt on the ground, "It's a dereliction of duty!
Linghu Rongji narrowed his eyes and said, "Forgive you for being a first-time offender, just throw Su Yao out of the East Palace." If there is a next time, then you will pay for your sins with death. ”
Ling Hu Rongji's words were heartbroken, Su Yao's face was blue and red, and her eyes were full of mist, "Auntie, Su Yao, Su Yao just feels sorry for you......"
The queen understands people, so that Hu Rongji has a clear attitude, she naturally will not be clear about Rongji, and ruin the mother-daughter relationship for Su Yao. She only comforted Su Yao and said, "You go down first." ”
Su Yao was dragged out of the hall by the guards, and her poisonous eyes locked on me tightly, as if they were going to cut me with a thousand knives.
I shrugged helplessly, I didn't say a word from beginning to end, she was thrown out by herself, and she relied on me? I was afraid that if I stayed, the queen would treat me as a thorn in the flesh, so I quickly found a reason to slip away.
In the palace, only the queen and Linghu are left. But the atmosphere did not warm up because of this, so that the fox Rongji still drooped his face and ignored it.
And the queen only sighed to herself, "Ji'er, this Loulan princess enters the palace tomorrow, and your father is afraid that he will be so fascinated that he can't find his soul again." ”
"What does the queen mother mean?" Ling Hu Rongji took a sip of tea and stared at the queen with sharp eyes.
The queen did not beat around the bush, even tugged at Rong Ji's sleeve, and pleaded, "Ji'er, the queen mother begs you! If you ask your father for Princess Loulan, your father will definitely allow it because of your prestige in the army." ”
"Heh, the queen mother is really a selfish person, but don't forget, I was born to you in ten months of pregnancy, and my temperament is naturally the same as yours. Linghu Rongji withdrew his hand, his face did not show much anger, but his attitude was more detached, "Why should I help you?"
"Then if the palace lets that little Taoist priest marry into our royal family and marry you as a concubine, how about it?"
Linghu Rongji's face was cold, and he was unmoved, "Who does this palace want to marry, and you still need the permission of the queen mother?" It's late at night, so the queen mother should go back early." ”
"Ji'er, you are right, you are born from my pregnancy in October, and your temperament is similar to mine. Some of you have a ruthless queen mother, you must watch your little Taoist priest, otherwise you will regret it in the future. The queen mother was kind-eyed, but her voice was a little cold.
Linghu Rongji frowned, "If you don't want the back position, just do it." ”
After finishing speaking, Ling Hu Rongji slammed the door and left, angry.
I lay on the bed with Erlang's legs crossed, eating melon seeds and reading the script. Most of the books in the house are obscure, but there is a book about strange powers and gods that is very exciting.
I was watching with relish, so that the fox Rongji kicked in the door with a black face. A cool breeze drifted in, and I tightened my clothes and pulled the futon on the side. This guy is very clean, if he sees this bed full of melon seed shells, wouldn't he be crazy!
I quickly tucked the corners of the quilt and sat upright, "How was your conversation with your mother?"
Ling Hu Rongji closed the door, and his face gradually improved, "It doesn't matter to the person, what is it to mention her! I'm just depressed, I can't accompany you earlier." ”
I saw his teasing expression, and I hurriedly covered my face with my hands, and said strangely in my heart, why have I been alone with Linghu Rongji recently, and I always want to blush?
Linghu Rongji was in a good mood because of my reaction, and used his bony hand to move all the way from my eyebrows to the corners of my mouth, "Your shy appearance is very charming." ”
My face continued to burn red, and I pushed him away with my hand for some distance, "Linghu Rongji!
Linghu Rongji propped his hands on the side of the couch and looked at me for a long time. In an instant, my head was confused again!
My eyes widened as I watched his handsome features enlarge infinitely. The long, curled eyelashes trembled gently, everything was too mysterious.
His eyes were completely different from the indifference of Qi Suri, and there seemed to be a raging fire burning in his dark eyes.
