Chapter 345: Gift of Beauty (2)
Want to see yourself laugh? Then you have to be willing to cooperate, Xiao Yao sneered secretly, Yun Ruonan nervously held her hand, and vaguely she also understood the intentions of the imperial grandmother.
Could it be that the incident of Concubine Han is going to be repeated in the palace again? She didn't want her friends and future nephews to suffer the same treatment as her mother, so why didn't the imperial grandmother let go of her family!
Looking at Yun Ruonan, whose face turned pale, Xiao Yao quietly shook her hand, what does a person have to go through to be scared like this, it is really distressing. Why can't Empress Dowager Han see the good of Princess Jing and her granddaughter, and she must destroy the peaceful life of others!
"O granddaughter-in-law! You've been married to Ah Chen for some time, why haven't you moved at all! Besides, you are too lonely in your yard, so it's okay for the imperial grandmother to find you a companion. ”
All right? A fool would want such a company! Xiao Yao smiled obediently, no matter how nice you say, I just have to pretend to be stupid to the end, Yun Yichen's affairs can't be taken care of by myself, and I don't want to participate.
"Empress Dowager Qiyu, the ladies of the Marquis of Zhongyong have arrived."
Empress Dowager Han definitely made this arrangement on purpose, at this moment Xiao Yao scolded her over and over again in her heart, such a vicious old witch, first revealed to herself the intention of taking a concubine for Yun Yichen, and then seized the opportunity of her mother's arrival, planning to put pressure on herself to comply?
Tong Mingyu supported the Qin family, and Li Jiaoying, Yuan Yutong, and Xiyue County Lord walked behind with a few juniors.
After the Xiao family and his party saluted the Queen Mother and sat down, the Empress Dowager Han chatted with the Qin family and Tong Mingyu for a few words, and then pointed to Liji and said to the Qin family and Tong Mingyu: "This child's name is Liji, and the mourning family looks a little similar to Ah Chen's daughter-in-law, how do you think it would be good for Mrs. Zhongyong to let them be sisters?" ”
Tong Mingyu raised her head in shock, she didn't dare to look at the queen mother, so she set her eyes on her daughter, Xiao Yaoyun blinked lightly, Tong Mingyu knew that her daughter was not affected, and she was a lot more relieved. Now the question is how to reply to the Queen Mother!
Tong Mingyu got up and said calmly: "Back to the Queen Mother, this is a matter of King Jing's Mansion, and the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion has no right to interfere." ”
"So, if Ah Chen's daughter-in-law doesn't object, your Zhongyong Marquis Mansion will also approve it, right?"
"If you go back to the queen mother, the concubine thinks that this matter has to be asked about the meaning of the prince, if the prince likes this girl, neither the Hou Mansion nor my daughter will object." Tong Mingyu pushed the problem back to the Empress Dowager Han, and he had no right to participate in the affairs of King Jing's Mansion, and he didn't want to intervene. As long as I need to care about my daughter, how to let her suffer the least harm is what I should do as a mother.
One of these two girls is very shrewd, and the other is stupid, and the Empress Dowager Han is very angry at their non-cooperation, so how can it be carried out!
Empress Dowager Han decided to use Xiao Yao as a breakthrough, Tong Mingyu was too smart and always changed the topic. Or the stupid granddaughter-in-law is better to speak, and after a while, let the wives below and the Xiao family put some pressure on her, and the matter is estimated to be done.
After making up her mind, Empress Dowager Han coaxed Xiao Yao: "Ah Chen's daughter-in-law will take Liji back to the palace in a while." ”
"Hmmm! The dancing girl in our palace is not as good as this girl, and the imperial grandmother can rest assured that the granddaughter-in-law will definitely let Changshi and the housekeeper take good care of this girl. Xiao Yao didn't want to cause trouble, if it wasn't for Empress Dowager Han dragging the Xiao family in, she really planned to pretend to be deaf and dumb to resolve the matter. Empress Dowager Han is too bullying, since she wants to calculate herself and the Xiao family, what else is she polite, it is better to embarrass everyone together.
Let Liji be the next person, how can this work, Empress Dowager Han was a little suspicious that Xiao Yao was deliberately pretending to be stupid just now, she nodded at this granddaughter-in-law from afar, and said with a smile: "You! How could you have thought of making Liki such a delicate and lovely dancing girl! The imperial grandmother said that she should go to live in the courtyard of your young couple, be sisters with you, and help you take care of and serve Ah Chen. ”
This time it's clear enough! Look at how you are still pretending to be stupid, everyone's eyes are fixed on Xiao Yao, and they want to know how she will answer.
"Oops! Or the queen mother feels sorry for her granddaughter-in-law, and even I am jealous! Congratulations to the princess for winning the talented sister, shouldn't Liji give the princess a cup of tea! A noble lady sitting next to Empress Dowager Han covered her lips with a handkerchief and chuckled.
"Safe ......" Qin didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing when she entered the palace to celebrate the queen mother's birthday, she wanted to persuade her granddaughter to recognize Liji, and when she thought that she might face her husband's monstrous anger after she went back, she couldn't say anything about the following words.
Li Ji held the tea cup lotus and walked lightly to Xiao Yao to serve tea.
Xiao Yao also smiled, an innocent smile appeared on her beautiful face, at this moment, even the lady on the side was a little envious of Yun Yichen, accompanied by two stunning beauties, it was a man who wanted to live such a day!
"Miss Ligi, yes! I'm sorry, but I'm not used to drinking tea from strangers. "Xiao Yao" finished speaking, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth.
Chu Xue hurriedly picked up the teacup on the table, handed it over with both hands and said, "It's the slave who was negligent, please ask the princess to drink tea to moisten her throat." ”
The pair of masters and servants actually dared to act in front of her, Empress Dowager Han's face showed anger, and just as she was about to speak again, eager footsteps sounded outside the door.
Who has such courage to dare to make such a noise in the Empress Dowager's palace, as soon as Empress Dowager Han wanted to reprimand, she saw a figure come to the center of the main hall in an instant.
The person in front of him who was unsteady and a little flustered was Yun Yichen, Xiao Yao felt aggrieved when he saw Yun Yichen, and there seemed to be something in his eyes that was about to overflow. She told herself to be strong and not to cry, Ruonan and the Xiao family were still by her side, and she couldn't let them worry. Even if you want to cry, you must not let your family, Empress Dowager Han and Yun Yichen see it.
"I'm sorry I'm late and let you be wronged." Yun Yichen didn't care that there were others present, and hugged Xiao Yao in his arms. He had been getting the news that Empress Dowager Han was embarrassed for Xiao Yao for a while, because the things explained by the emperor had not been completed, and there was no way to get out, so he only arrived now, and only himself and God knew how anxious he was in his heart.
Xiao Yao borrowed Yun Yichen's placket, wiped away the tears that welled up in her eyes, raised a smile and said: "The imperial grandmother helped the concubine find a sister, and the lady over there asked her to give me tea. ”
Duchess Qingguo shrank in fright, she secretly annoyed that she only cared about flattering the Empress Dowager Han and forgot about Yun Yichen. This is not a good talker, in case...... Turning her head to look at Liji's appearance, she felt a little more confident in her heart. The prince will definitely like her, even if the princess's appearance is slightly better than her, Liji is a natural stunner, and the fatal attraction on her body for men is something that Xiao Yao can't compare.
Yun Yichen let go of Xiao Yao, pinched her nose and said, "Didn't my husband tell you not to drink indiscriminately?" In particular, unclean things should not be touched by unclean people. ”
The hall was silent for a while, the daughters of the Xiao family put their hearts back in their stomachs, and the accomplices of the Empress Dowager Han didn't dare to speak.
"Lord Shizi, the concubine just wants to serve a cup of tea to her sister without malice, and she will definitely serve her and sister wholeheartedly in the future, and she will never dare to slack off." Liji decided to gamble once, but she didn't believe that her feminine self couldn't attract Yun Yichen.
Xiao Yao stepped aside, she also wanted to know how Yun Yichen would choose, this could be regarded as a test!
The little wife left herself and walked away, it seemed that she was still angry, he glanced at Liji with disgust, it was okay not to look at it, and gave her a kick directly after a look, Liji slid out more than ten meters later, and lay on the ground in embarrassment.
"Ah Chen, what are you doing, are you going wild in the Imperial Grandmother's Palace? Don't forget that today is the birthday of the mourning family, is this how you came to celebrate your birthday? ”
"A lowly dancing girl, dare to be sisters with the princess, if it weren't for the fact that today is your old man's birthday, her life would have been killed. You can rest assured that your grandson is measured, she is only an internal injury, and she will not spill a drop of blood, if she deliberately acts, it is none of her grandson's business. ”
The Empress Dowager wanted to explain Liji's identity, so she heard Yun Yichen say: "Since this person was injured by her grandson, King Jing's Mansion will be responsible for healing, and someone will come to take her away in a while, and the imperial grandmother will spend her birthday with peace of mind." ”
Duchess Qingguo seems to like this girl very much, what a pity it was, Yun Yichen showed a sneer, and was about to leave Fengxiang Palace with his little wife and sister, the imperial grandmother didn't like them, so she didn't come in the future.
Xiao Yao tugged at Yun Yichen's sleeve and whispered, "My mother kisses them."
Yes! When you leave, you have to bring the daughters of the Xiao family with you, otherwise the imperial grandmother is very likely to be angry with them when she is angry.
"The Empress Dowager, the Empress invites you to the front to take a seat." The eunuch outside the main hall shouted loudly, in fact, it was not the queen who sent someone to pass the word at all, but the emperor himself asked people to come over to inquire about the situation, and the people who came to see that the atmosphere was not right, and directly called people to the banquet according to the emperor's instructions, so as not to worsen the situation.
Yun Yichen's expression was relieved, and he took the lead to say goodbye to the Empress Dowager Han, and before leaving, he did not forget to kindly help dismiss everyone, and casually helped the Qin family and Tong Mingyu away.
After settling the Xiao family, Yun Yichen took his little wife and sister to the place where King Jing's mansion belonged, and King Jing beckoned his daughter to his side, leaving the little couple alone.
Because it was two people sharing a table, after Yun Yichen and Xiao Yao sat side by side, he quietly shook Xiao Yao's hand under the table and was blocked, and then explained in a low voice: "I really have something to delay, don't be angry." ”
Xiao Yao looked at the hall where people came and went, and didn't say a word, as if Yun Yichen wasn't talking to her.
Yun Yichen looked at King Jing and Yun Ruonan for help, what should he do in this situation! King Jing and Yun Ruonan both pretended not to understand what he meant, what to do or what to do, anyway, they just didn't help.
Do you want to apologize in public, Yun Yichen frowned and rubbed his forehead, for the first time, he had the idea that it was difficult to marry a daughter-in-law, and it was even more difficult to coax a daughter-in-law.
