Chapter 222: Entering the Palace (2)
Xiao Yuan only heard Xiao Yao muttering in a low voice, but he didn't hear what he said at all, so he couldn't help but turn his head sideways and ask, "Sister, what did you just say, I didn't hear clearly?" ”
"It's nothing, no matter what happens today, you can't ask the county lord for help, understand? Do you want the county lord to act against us and her relatives? ”
"Cousin Shizi may have a way!"
"Xiao Yuan, we can't always trouble King Jing's Mansion to come out for us, and the people in King Jing's Mansion have no obligation to help endlessly. In case something happens, it's good to deal with it because I have that luck, if ...... I'm not going to complain. I won't let the Xiao family lose face because of me, and I can't beg people everywhere for my personal safety, do you hear? Xiao Yao said sharply.
"Oh!" Xiao Yuan, who rarely saw his sister angry, hurriedly nodded in response.
Xiao Lang, Xiao Yi and Xiao Yang next to the carriage were full of pity for this sister, it turned out that she had expected everything, but she didn't want her family to worry about it, so she pretended to be ignorant. What if something really happened today...... Xiao Yi didn't know about others, he could only predict that the sky in Graceland would fall and his grandfather would go crazy.
Yun Yichen clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves, no wonder the mother and sister like the little girl so much, she is really transparent and understands. She doesn't bother Ruonan herself, because as she said, her sister's situation in the palace is also very embarrassing, but is it necessary to be so clear with herself? Don't want to help yourself, do you? I just want her to owe a favor that can't be repaid, and see what she does in the end?
After another quarter of an hour or so, the carriage came to a slow stop.
"Eldest Miss, Second Miss's Palace has arrived." Qianyu and Xiaohui stepped forward to lift the curtain, stretched out their hands to support their respective masters, and let them get out of the carriage.
After four years, Yun Yichen saw Xiao Yao again for the first time: the little girl has grown up and become a big girl; Second sight: looks no different from before, still those big clear and bright eyes, or such a vivid face; Third Look: No matter how you look at it, I think the two people next to her who smooth her hair and cut the corners of her skirt are particularly eye-catching, your sisters are all big girls, do you know it!
In the future, Tianyu's law should be added to the law, even if it is your own family, you can't do it casually.
As if feeling that Yun Yichen's vinegar was not enough, Xiao Yuan grabbed Yun Ruonan next to him and muttered: "The three elder brothers of the uncle's family are very good to their sisters, what is this now!" My fifth brother still holds my sister's hand when he walks.
My third brother plays chess very well, but my sister sometimes plays tricks on him just as if he didn't see it, pretending to lose and carrying his sister around the yard for a long lap without stopping to rest; My second brother and second sister-in-law often quarrel, not for their own son, but to rush to accompany my sister out and help my sister pick up vegetables......"
"It's not too early, it's time for us to go to the palace." Yun Yichen didn't want to listen to his cousin tell the touching story of the little girl's brother and sister who loved each other, and he didn't want to see Xiao Yi and Xiao Yang circling around the little girl. Even if you didn't understand your mind before, you can pretend not to see the intimate interaction between the Xiao family brothers and sisters, how can you face this scene indifferently now! They must be separated quickly.
"Ping'an remember not to be impulsive, be careful everywhere, the second brother is waiting for you outside, and you won't go anywhere today." Xiao Yi shook Xiao Yao's hand, he really wanted to transfer all his strength to his sister.
"I'll do my best to keep the peace." Xiao Yang said very solemnly, if he can't even protect his sister, what face do he have to go home to face his parents!
"Don't worry, I'll be careful." Xiao Yao stood on tiptoe and patted the second brother Xiao Yi's shoulder, then grabbed the third brother's sleeve and shook it.
"You!" Several brothers spoke out at the same time.
Entering the palace gate, a palace maid and a little eunuch greeted them, first saluted a few people, and then walked in front, and the slightly older palace maid spoke: "The prince and Xiao Bangyan, please follow the little pillar to the front, the county lord and the two Miss Xiao, please go to Fengxiang Palace with the slave maid to meet the queen mother." ”
"Follow her! I'll go to see you in the Imperial Grandmother's palace in a moment, and if anyone is disrespectful to you, I'll deal with it. Yun Yichen faced the three girls, looked at Xiao Yao, who was silent, and said, but unfortunately this girl didn't react at all, she thought that she was saying this to her sister!
Yun Yichen didn't have the extra time and mood to dwell on this matter, because people had already come in one after another, and it would not be beneficial to the three girls at all if they delayed for a long time. And those eyes that stuck to Xiao Yao's body made him very annoying, and Xiao Yang also urged them to hurry up and go to Fengxiang Palace.
Yun Yichen still wanted to ask something, but he didn't know where to start, so he could only comfort himself that his imperial grandmother would not use means as soon as they met, and believed that the rescuers he invited would definitely be able to protect the three of them.
"Thank you, cousin!" What Xiao Yuan wants to hear most now is this kind of thing, Yun Yichen's character is still trustworthy, as long as he says so, he will definitely go to the Queen Mother to visit his cousin, and then someone will be on his sister's side, right!
Fengxiang Palace is the most extensive and luxurious palace in the harem, not to mention the Xiao sisters, even Yun Ruonan is the first time to walk here.
"The county lord of Yi'an has arrived, and the eldest and second ladies of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion have arrived." A shrewd-voiced eunuch swirled around the three little girls with a pair of shrewd eyes, and then bowed down and invited them in.
"Whew!" Yun Ruonan couldn't remember what her grandmother looked like, her heart was pounding now, and she really wanted to turn around and go home.
"Don't be afraid." Xiao Yao gently held Yun Ruonan's hand with her sleeve, if she only received a few blank eyes, or was a little snubbed, it would be good, and she wouldn't have to worry about being afraid.
"yes, I know." Yun Ruonan knew that it was best for him and Xiao Yao not to make mistakes, being caught in this Fengxiang Palace was equivalent to giving the imperial grandmother an excuse to humiliate the mother and concubine, if Xiao Yao made a mistake, I am afraid that the consequences would be worse than herself!
Hearing that it was these people who came, Fengxiang Palace suddenly quieted down, these young ladies who came early have more or less relatives with the Han family, don't care if they are close or crooked, in short, they won't like their group.
"Yi'an greets the imperial grandmother."
"The courtier Xiao Yao (Xiao Yuan) visited the Queen Mother."
"Yueting, the one below is your cousin Ruonan, go and help her up." As if she hadn't seen the Xiao sisters, Empress Dowager Han turned her head and spoke to a girl beside her kindly.
"Cousin, please get up, Sister Yi'an is dignified and demure, and a noble status like you should have more dealings with the nobles of the clan or your own relatives. Don't come into contact with some people who can't be on the stage, after a long time, they like to hook up with royal children and think that the most beautiful shortcomings in the world will scare you. Han Yueting was standing directly opposite the Xiao Yao sisters, and when she saw them kneeling there, she didn't mean to avoid them at all.
Xiao Yao desperately grabbed Xiao Yuan with her hand, and she was not allowed to move, so that Han Yueting's tongue was so fast for a while. If today's words reach the ears of Princess Jing, the daughter of the Han family will not even want to enter the gate of the palace, how can the princess be happy if she dares to accept the kneeling of the princess's niece!
Knowing that the county lord is friendly with his sisters, and saying these words to his face, this Miss Han family's IQ is not much higher, you must at least wait for Yun Yichen to get rid of it before provoking the relationship between your sister-in-law and her friends! is so impatient to ruin her future, Xiao Yao wants to say to her, "Poor baby." ”
"Who's kneeling down there?" Empress Dowager Han seemed to have just remembered that there were such two people, and glanced at the Xiao family sisters.
"It seems to be our number one beauty in the world, the eldest lady of the Xiao family!" He Jinzhi gritted his teeth and said, everyone in Kyoto knew that he wanted to marry Yun Yichen. But King Jing's Mansion has always refused to express his position, He Jinzhi, who has passed the age of Xuan, now does not dare to hope for the position of the princess, King Jing said that he was the master of the prince's family affairs and sent his father away.
There was no way to get close to Yun Yichen, and Princess Jing and the county lord ignored themselves, on the other hand, the Xiao family sisters went to the palace as casually as visiting their own back garden, and the princess and the county lord treated them like their own people. The prince never went to the door of He's house, and ran to Xiao's house diligently, one of them was the only son-in-law of the prince, and the other was beautiful and outstanding. If there is a little unsightly thing between two people, no one believes it!
Han Yueting and He Jinzhi reached a consensus before coming to the palace, first defeat Xiao Yao together, then Han Yueting will be the princess, and He Jinzhi will be the side room.
I just don't know if they have considered Yun Yichen's idea after discussing it so much.
Xiao Yao was almost angry, she always thought that the hat of the first beauty in Kyoto was big enough, and now she is even the first in the world, is this to give herself the name of bullying?
"Return the first ...... in the world" Empress Dowager Han sneered, it is really the first in the world to be robb cabbage! Is that what you want to have? Sure enough, it is a child raised by Xiao Hu's reckless man in the village, and he doesn't even have the least reserve of a lady, what is there to be afraid of this kind of person.
"Then ask the world's number one beauty to raise her head and let the mourning family open their eyes!" Empress Dowager Han waited all day to see Xiao Yao's jokes, and if the girl in front of her was too bad-looking, she would be charged with a crime of bullying; If she still said in the past, let her marry into the Han family, with Yueting and her sisters here, her life will not be lonely.
Xiao Yao still knelt there motionless, deaf to Empress Dowager Han's words and did not give a reaction.
"Xiao Yao, you are so bold, did you hear the Queen Mother asking you to look up?" Han Yueting thought that she had grabbed Xiao Yao's handle, and she took the case, and when Fengxiang Palace was as casual as her boudoir.
"The courtier's surname is Xiao Mingyao, and the queen mother didn't call the name of the courtier's just now, so the courtiers didn't dare to raise their heads." Xiao Yao didn't take the brave and unscrupulous Han Yueting in her eyes, she was more concerned about what means the Queen Mother would use to deal with her.
"It's a mistake to say that the mourning family is wrong, Miss Xiao can look up now!" It was to raise his head instead of getting up, which meant that Xiao Yao and Xiao Yuan had to continue to kneel.
