Chapter 170: A cold sweat
Now what does this queen want to see herself? Chen Yuan's heart was a little unclear, and he asked Xiao Suli tentatively: "Lord Xiao, is there anything the queen asked me to go?" Can you tell us about it in advance? ”
Xiao Suli shook his head: "I don't know, I really don't know, you just go with me." ”
Chen Yuan thought about it for a while, anyway, he had to go, and he would just be able to adapt when the time came. He immediately responded, "Okay, then I'll change into a decent dress." ”
Go to see the queen, no matter what, it's Yelu Ling's mother, you can't be too casual. Besides, I plan to have the opportunity to come to the palace with Yelu Ling, so I naturally want to dress up.
Chen Yuan changed into a green cloth robe and dressed up for a while, but the bruises on his face made him unable to recover his previous handsome appearance, and it was barely scary, so he followed Xiao Suli into the carriage and the two of them went to the palace together.
This was the first time Chen Yuan had seen Xiao Tali. If it weren't for Xiao Suli's introduction, he wouldn't believe that this woman was Yelu Ling's mother at all, and said that his sister was almost there!
Only by looking closely at the crow's feet that cannot be concealed in the corners of the eyes can we find the traces left by the years on this woman.
"Wechen has seen the queen's mother." Chen Yuan saluted very well.
Xiao Tali looked Chen Yuan up and down, and after a while, he said, "Okay, this is not a court, there are not so many rules." Chen Shimei, do you know why I came to you? ”
Chen Yuan shook his head slightly: "Weichen is stupid, I don't know what the queen's will is?" ”
Xiao Tali slowly stood up, and Chen Yuan secretly looked at it, his body height was about the same as that of Yelu Ling, but he was a little plumper.
Just thinking of this, he couldn't help blaming himself in his heart: "When did you still think about a woman's figure?" Now we should be thinking about what purpose she called herself! It's really a dog who doesn't change to eating! ”
forcibly withdrew that look, only to hear Xiao Tali say: "I want to ask you, recently it has been rumored that the Northern King has fornicated with the Jurchens, what do you think about this matter?" ”
Chen Yuan's heart chuckled, why did Xiao Tatari ask himself this question? Didn't she see something? Or worse, it was Liao Xingzong who saw the flaw and asked her to ask herself?
A cold sweat suddenly broke out from his back, can this answer satisfy Xiao Tali, maybe he can get out of the palace alive today!
Xiao Tali's eyes were still staring at him, and his eyes were full of the charm of a mature woman, but Chen Yuan had no intention of appreciating these now: "Weichen also has questions, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”
Xiao Tali said softly: "Say it." ”
Chen Yuan's mind turned and said, "Weichen thinks that even if it is groundless, it is not completely unreasonable. This time, Weichen also went out with the army, and the strangeness along the way is really inexplicable. ”
Xiao Tali asked, "You also suspect the king of the North Courtyard?" ”
Chen Yuan hurriedly clenched his fists: "Wechen doesn't dare, Wechen just talks about things, and I just feel a little strange." ”
This answer was ambiguous, not only did not answer anything positively, but also said what Chen Shimei should say in this position from the side.
Xiao Tali took a step in front of Chen Yuan: "Chen Shimei, you are very good at talking. ”
Chen Yuan's waist bent lower: "Queen Xie praises." ”
Xiao Tartar poured a glass of water, then sat down and took a sip, and said slowly: "Then can I ask you another question?" ”
Chen Yuan already felt that his back was all wet, and he had the illusion that he was now in purgatory, and Xiao Tatari was the one who inflicted punishment on him!
"Wechen knows everything." The heart must be quick, the brain must be quick, because the mouth cannot be slowed down at all.
Xiao Tali asked, "You, why did you buy a house for Xiao Yuanfeng?" ”
This is even more terrifying than the one just now. Because from this sentence, Chen Yuan knew a piece of information that Xiao Suli had actually been monitoring him all along.
This matter made him very afraid, but fortunately, Xiao Yuanqiu's matter was for Wang Lun and them to take action, if it was Yang Wenguang, Amuda and Pang Xi on his side to do it, he would inevitably be found out.
What is the reason to answer this question? Say you need food? It's okay to deceive others, Xiao Suli is standing next to him, and he knows exactly how much the goods store sells and buys every day!
said that he was afraid that Xiao Yuanfeng would give him small shoes to wear? That's even more impossible.
Chen Yuan's head spun rapidly, and suddenly a flash of inspiration: "This, Queen Mother, in fact, there is no other reason, just to want to catch the boat of the North King." Do you do business, pay attention to an eight-sided exquisite. ”
Xiao Tali smiled: "You and Yelu Shubao have become like this, do you think it's still exquisite?" ”
Chen Yuan said: "Queen, no matter what, it's always right to leave a line, even if this line can only pass one sentence." ”
Xiao Tali didn't ask again, Chen Yuan really didn't know if this reason had convinced her, anyway, this was the best reason he could think of now.
Xiao Tali didn't ask any more questions, but said: "By the way, I haven't thanked you yet, this time the prince came back from the expedition, and his surname has changed a lot, and I heard that it is all your credit." ”
Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "It is the prince who has grown up by himself, and it is the duty of Weichen to serve the prince." ”
Xiao Tatari nodded: "You are really good at talking." ”
This is the second time she has praised Chen Yuan like this tonight: "Okay, in fact, I didn't have anything else to do when I called you, the main thing is to thank you for Hongji." Do you know, Hongji now regards you as his best friend, and he is willing to go to Yelu Shubao to fight for you, this is something I didn't expect, I hope that you can help Hongji more in the future, and I will naturally not treat you badly. ”
This last sentence made Chen Yuan hear a little meaning, and immediately replied: "The queen can rest assured, Weichen will do his best to assist the prince and have done his duty as a courtier." ”
When he came out of Xiao Tali, Chen Yuan didn't know how much cold sweat he had had. He really scared the hell out of this woman!
The current situation is so tense, Chen Yuan's nerves were originally in a state of high alert, in this game, he has not noticed the existence of this woman, Xiao Tali suddenly came to him to say this, this is no different from when you are walking and someone suddenly jumps out from the side and shouts to you.
He knew that this woman, who had always been known for being willing to be lonely, was now unwilling to be lonely, perhaps because she smelled a little special smell, and wanted to come to this banquet to seek a place for her and her son.
Xiao Tatar's last implicit confession just now had already explained her intentions to Chen Yuan, and now, she was waiting for an opportunity, or she hoped that Chen Yuan would create an opportunity so that she could fully trust him.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yuan looked up at the sun in the sky, this sudden variable caught him off guard, he knew that there would be no neutrality in the struggle of the court, Xiao Tali had already said what he had to say, and the rest was left to himself to choose, either the enemy or his own people.
He didn't want this woman to be his enemy, it was definitely a very terrible thing. Therefore, Chen Yuan must find a way to make this woman believe in him, at least until his plan succeeds, he is not willing to offend such a woman who knows how to bury herself deeply and can endure loneliness for so many years.
"It's not too bad." Chen Yuan whispered to himself, and then prepared to go to Yelu Hongji to have a look.
This is the Imperial Palace, and although I have already entered, I can't just walk around. If you want to get from Xiao Tatari to Yelu Hongji, although it is only less than 100 meters away, you have to wait for the eunuch to report that Yelu Hongji is willing to see him.
Chen Yuan waited in the courtyard for a while, and the eunuch who went to report came back: "Lord Chen, the princess asked you to meet her." ”
Chen Yuan was a little stunned, he asked this eunuch to inform Yelu Hongji, how did he get the princess out? The eunuch obviously knew that Chen Yuan would definitely have this question, and before he could speak, he said, "The prince is also waiting for you in the princess, come with me." ”
Following the eunuch, as soon as he reached the door of Yelu Ling's dormitory, he heard the sound of a teacup being smashed inside.
The eunuchs in this palace were somewhat in awe of the princess's temper, and the eunuch who was leading the way a few steps away from the door stopped: "Master Chen, go in by yourself, I'll bring you here." After speaking, without waiting for Chen Yuan to react, he turned around and ran away.
Chen Yuan walked slowly to the door, and first stretched out his head to look inside, and between Ye Lu Ling sat on the chair in the middle, with many pieces of porcelain under his feet. He still has one in his hand and is about to throw it down again.
Yelu Hongji stood aside and persuaded something, and when he turned around, he saw Chen Yuan leaking his head out, and immediately shouted: "Chen Shimei, come in quickly." ”
Chen Yuancong crossed the threshold and saluted with his fists in a regular manner: "I've seen the prince, I've seen the princess." ”
Then his eyes looked at Yelu Ling: "I don't know why the princess is so angry?" ”
After Yelu Lingling saw Chen Yuan, her face looked a little better, but she still didn't speak. Hong Ji said beside him: "It's not that Li Yuanhao is angry. ”
Chen Yuan was a little surprised when he heard this: "Isn't the king of the party about to propose to the princess?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the teacup that had been put down in Yelu Lingling's hand fell to the ground again, and her eyes turned red. Yeluhonki said, "He is so deceitful! I proposed to my father here, but on the other hand, I found a singer in Yanjing! I'm also going to bring the singer and my sister back to the party together, it's too deceitful! ”
Chen Yuan immediately understood what was going on, and secretly thought in his heart that Li Yuanhao's approach was indeed a bit excessive. Although there is no affection between you and Yelu Ling, no one will say anything about you when you find a singer who is pleasing to the eye, just like Yelu Lingling is sneaking around with herself. But you should at least hide a little bit and save some face for Yelu Ling.
There was a look of righteous indignation on his face: "It's too much! It's just too much! He hasn't married the princess yet, so he dares to despise the princess so much on the territory of Da Liao, if he returns to the party, then he still has it? ”
