Chapter 112: The Queen Mother Tests Song Yi
On the other side, inside the Cining Palace.
"Qingping County Lord, you are finally here" It was the first-class female official of Cining Palace who spoke.
Also, when Song Yi first came to Cining Palace to see the Queen Mother, the female official with eyes above the top.
At this moment, the female official smiled all over her face and welcomed Song Yi into the inner hall very respectfully.
"Is the county lord of Qingping here? Why don't you come in? "It was the Queen Mother Lafayette who spoke.
Although Song Yi didn't see anyone, she heard the Queen Mother's voice like a bell, and she could imagine what she was looking forward to at the moment.
The palace maid in the inner hall opened the apricot yellow felt curtain for Song Yi, and Song Yi bowed his head and entered the hall.
In the hall, charcoal pots are burned, incense is lit, fruit bowls are placed, and plum blossoms are inserted.
The Queen Mother sat on the kang bed by the window, with a kang table in the middle, on which were food boxes and tea cups.
When Song Yi entered the house, he found that there were other people present in the house.
Song Yi regretted that she had come at the wrong time, because the two guests in the house were not the people she wanted to see now.
One is the county lord Wencheng who is against Song Yi, and the other is Zhao Pangjing, the king of Liang, who is similar to Chu Li.
When the two of them got together, Song Yi had a feeling that there was a bottomless abyss ahead of him.
Waiting for Song Yi to kneel on the ground, he saluted the Queen Mother and King Liang, and then stood up and bowed to the county lord of Wencheng.
The Queen Mother asked Song Yi to give a seat, and Song Yi sat down, half sitting on the chair, not daring to squeak.
"Girl, why haven't you come to the palace recently? Hongu has been thinking about the book you talked about last time. These days, Najia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai are always dangling in front of the palace, and even the table full of delicacies is tasteless."
The Queen Mother said this to Song Yi very familiarly, which shows that the relationship between the two is close.
Also, since Song Yi began to say "Dream of Red Mansions" to the Queen Mother, Song Yi has to go to the palace every once in a while to talk to the Queen Mother to relieve her boredom.
The Queen Mother also loves Song Yi more and more, and she treats her as her own granddaughter, if there is anything good, she will remember Song Yi and let people send Song Yi over.
Wen Cheng saw that the Queen Mother was very familiar with Song Yi, so he was a little jealous. In addition, Wang Shutong kept saying bad things about Song Yi in front of her, and Wen Cheng felt that Song Yi was deliberately approaching the Queen Mother and using the Queen Mother with bad intentions.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, the more the county lord of Qingping shines? I heard that the county lord of Qingping will have a happy event in the near future, is this what people often say, 'people are in good spirits when they are happy'? ”
The county lord of Wencheng spoke in a strange manner, and mentioned the recent rumors in the capital.
Song Yi didn't have any surprises, but it was still a little unexpected when he said it from the mouth of the county lord of Wencheng.
"Why did the county lord say that?"
"Hehe, what else is there to hide? Who in the capital doesn't know that the true king wants to be happy, and the object is the county lord of Qingping."
"Wencheng" Queen Mother looked angry and very displeased.
"Queen Mother, is Wen Cheng wrong? It's a well-known thing, and it's not a secret. Now send the county lord of Qingping to nod, and the emperor is about to make an order."
"Speaking of which, I really want to ask you, when is the county lord of Qingping going to nod and agree and marry the true king for a hundred years?" Wen Cheng deliberately said this, just to embarrass Song Yi. Who in the capital doesn't know that the real king needs to be rejoiced because he was poisoned and hollowed out? Ordinary people will not say "a hundred years of goodness" in front of Song Yi.
"Wencheng, Hugh is talking nonsense. Where is this kind of thing that you, a county lord, should say? I think it's your mother who is too indulgent to you, so she makes you so rude."
When the Queen Mother mentioned Princess Taiping, Wen Cheng didn't dare to say more.
However, the county lord of Wencheng grew up beside the queen mother since he was a child, although he was not the queen mother's own granddaughter, but because the queen mother was ashamed of her daughter's peace, she favored Wencheng more in order to make up for it. This also caused Wen Cheng's outspoken and reckless character.
Wen Cheng always thought that the Queen Mother loved her the most, but he didn't expect that now there is another Qingping County Lord, who has taken away the Queen Mother's favor. The county lord of Wencheng hated Song Yi even more. thought that this was also Song Yi's strategy.
Wen Cheng saw that the Empress Dowager was sheltering Song Yi, so he got angry and left Cining Palace under the pretext of leaving Cining Palace.
Only the Queen Mother, Song Yi and King Liang were left in the palace.
Song Yi pretended not to see King Liang secretly looking at her, lowered her head, and answered the Queen Mother's question very carefully.
The Queen Mother saw that Song Yi was a little restrained, not as lively as in the past, so she lost interest and continued to listen to Song Yi's storytelling.
Moreover, the Queen Mother summoned Song Yi this time, in fact, for another purpose.
It turned out that early this morning, the old lady of the real palace went into the palace to find the queen mother to intercede, and said that it was a ridiculous thing for the real palace to be happy.
Of course, the queen mother would not interfere in the emperor's government affairs, so she did not agree to the old lady of the real palace.
Although Empress Dowager Pang also felt that in order to save the true king, she had to bet on a woman's life happiness, which was too much to say.
In addition, the woman who may be sacrificed is still the county lord of Qingping, and the queen mother also has her own considerations.
After these days of contact, the Queen Mother loved Song Yi very much, and almost acquiesced to King Liang's request.
But I didn't expect that now the poisoning of the real king has been inserted again.
If the true king really died because he didn't rush to rejoice, the queen mother also felt very sorry for the generations of ancestors in the true king's mansion. After all, the ancestor of the True Wangfu was one of the founding heroes.
The queen mother was in a dilemma, so she only sent the old lady of the real palace, and shirked that this matter was decided by the emperor, and no one would dare to complain about the emperor's will.
But in this matter, the Queen Mother still wanted to hear Song Yi's own thoughts, so she let people announce Song Yi.
However, what I didn't expect was that Wen Cheng and King Liang came uninvited.
Wen Cheng left after being trained by himself, and King Liang looked thoughtful, neither speaking nor leaving.
The Queen Mother naturally understands King Liang's thoughts. In fact, King Liang had already shown her his interest in the county lord of Qingping.
Otherwise, how could the Queen Mother think of seeing Song Yi?
It's just that this matter can't be said to the outside world, so the Queen Mother has been claiming to the outside world with "Dream of Red Mansions" and the reason for seeing the county lord of Qingping.
But in fact, the Queen Mother was inspecting Song Yi.
King Liang is the son of the former emperor, although he is not the queen mother's biological son, but he has been raised by her side since he was a child, so the queen mother Pang treats King Liang like a parent.
When the emperor ascended the throne, King Liang was still young, and the Queen Mother strongly guaranteed that King Liang would not threaten the throne. Over the years, there have been fewer and fewer heirs of the first emperor, and the queen mother has been even more fond of King Liang.
Even though King Liang was an adult, the Queen Mother was still unwilling to let him leave the palace, so she stayed.
Now that King Liang has finally woken up and expressed his interest in the county lord of Qingping, the Queen Mother naturally intends to match.
It's just that I didn't expect that there was a real king now, which made the Queen Mother in a dilemma.
After Wen Cheng left, the Queen Mother never mentioned Chongxi's matter again, but in the end, she asked casually, "There are rumors inside and outside the palace, and you don't have to take it to heart." The emperor will definitely ask for your opinion, if you don't want to, don't dare to tell the emperor, tell the mourning family, and the mourning family will make the decision for you."
When Song Yi heard that the Queen Mother was so protective of herself, her eyes were so hot that she almost burst into tears. But King Liang was on the side, and Song Yi didn't dare to show too much.
"Queen Mother, thank you. But I'm willing."
This was Song Yi's first affirmative answer, and the Queen Mother was also surprised.
Secretly looked at King Liang, and saw that King Liang's face was slightly gloomy, so he sighed in his heart.
But after all, this is the young man's own business, and the Queen Mother is not willing to participate too much, so she only blames the creation of people.
"You have to think clearly, the real king doesn't know if he can survive this time. If you marry into the True Palace, you may also ......"
"Queen Mother, what do you mean, Weichen understands. But the true king has the grace of saving his life to Wechen, and he has the friendship of master and servant, and Wechen should repay him. Not to mention that Lord Qin of Qin Tianjian personally calculated it, even if it was possible, Weichen was willing to give it a try."
"Now that you have figured it out yourself, the mourning family will not stop you. It's just that the emperor hasn't issued an edict yet, if you regret it before this, the mourning family will naturally stand up for you."
"Empress Dowager Xie" Song Yi was grateful and thanked her.
