Chapter 279: Refusal to give marriage

As soon as he returned to King Luo's Mansion, Luo Shuangyi was called to the study by Lord Luo.

"Yi'er, dad heard that the queen mother married the princess and the prince of Mingyang, you have been in the palace frequently recently, you should ...... I've probably heard a lot of news, right? Lord Luo asked.

Luo Shuangyi saw that her father's expression was abnormal, and he was also speechless, she knew it in her heart, and said lightly: "Father, if you have anything to say, you might as well speak up." ”

"Oh, it's nothing, Dad just wants to ask, have you seen Shizi? What's his attitude? Lord Luo asked cautiously.

Luo Shuangyi frowned, guessed her father's thoughts, and simply replied: "My daughter is not familiar with the prince of Mingyang, and I don't know what he thinks about my daughter." Moreover, the daughter entered the palace and was only responsible for teaching the princess etiquette, and now that the etiquette is taught, there is nothing to do with the daughter. ”

"This, what about your sister, is your sister okay?" Lord Luo replied in a low voice, not even daring to look directly into Luo Shuangyi's eyes.

Although he had made up his mind to believe in his eldest daughter and no longer pay attention to his younger daughter, when he heard that she was not doing well, he still couldn't help but worry in his heart, after all, it was his own flesh and blood, how could he be ruthless and ignore it.

"Now that she has no Luo family as a backer, and the princess is so strong, your sister is ......"

Luo Shuangyi raised her eyes, and seeing the worry in Lord Luo's eyes, she clenched her fists slightly, and reminded: "Dad, she has nothing to do with the Luo family anymore, and it is her business whether she will live well or badly in the future, you don't need to worry about an insignificant person, right?" ”

"Dad is not, Dad ......" Lord Luo didn't know what to say for a while, seeing Luo Shuangyi's ugly face, obviously not wanting to hear him say this, he sighed, and said slowly for a while, "Dad forgot for a while, forget it, you go down first." ”

Luo Shuangyi glanced at Lord Luo uneasily: "My daughter is leaving." ”

She hurried out of the study.

She knew that her father was worried about Luo Yingxue, but when did Luo Yingxue think about the Luo family once? If she hadn't let out cruel words to make enemies of the Luo family first, she wouldn't have treated her so badly.

Did she really go too far? Every time she saw her father's worried eyes, she began to wonder if she had done something wrong.

She hopes that her father can be happy, but it seems that every time she touches Luo Yingxue's affairs, she will annoy her father again.

Boredomed all the way back to the courtyard, Luo Shuangyi invited the little bird to prepare water for bathing.

Seeing that she was not in a good mood, Xiaoque said with concern: "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, it's just that I think Dad still can't let go of Luo Yingxue." Luo Shuangyi had a headache, "Do you think I'm a little bad?" After all, she is my father's flesh and blood, but I don't let my father recognize her. ”

"Miss, tiger poison does not eat children, the prince does this, you can understand his heart as a father. However, you don't let the prince recognize her, it's all for the sake of the palace and the prince. Xiaoque sprinkled a basket of petals into the bathtub, and continued, "The slave knows that you can't rest assured that you can't go to the palace, and wants the prince to recognize the second miss, if we continue to be involved with the second miss, in the future, the second miss will do something wrong, and it will inevitably affect the palace, and the slave doesn't think you are bad, but thinks you did something very right." ”

"You are a clever ghost, even you can think of a problem, why can't my father think of it, I may be a vicious bad sister in my father's heart." Luo Shuangyi took off his clothes, walked into the bathtub sullenly, watered and slapped his face indiscriminately.

Xiaoque comforted: "Miss, don't think nonsense, you have been busy in the palace for a few days, so rest early tonight." ”

Luo Shuangyi nodded: "That makes sense." "She doesn't have to worry about these, she just needs to be strong herself, strong palace, and protect her family.

The next day, the Queen Mother held a banquet and invited Luo Shuangyi's family.

Aunt Liu had never attended this kind of banquet because of her identity, but she didn't expect that she was also invited, so in order not to embarrass the Luo family, she deliberately dressed up carefully and came to Luo Shuangyi's courtyard.

It was the first time Luo Shuangyi had seen her mother dressed so formally, although the color of the clothes was still gentle and elegant, but with the gorgeous cross bun and jewelry foil, the aura of the whole person was different.

"Mother, you look so good in this dress, Dad didn't praise you much today, right?" Luo Shuangyi quipped.

Aunt Liu held her hand: "Your father only said that it looks good, and my mother is nervous, is it really okay for me to wear it like this?" ”

"Of course, my mother must be the most beautiful of all the ladies." Luo Shuangyi said proudly, seeing that her mother's hands were trembling, she grabbed Aunt Liu's arm, "Okay, mother, with your daughter with you, what else do you have to worry about?" ”

"How do you see your daughter dressed like this?" Luo Shuangyi spun around.

She wore a hanging bun and a light purple embroidered skirt, and the aqua blue shawl made the overall color of the dress look very girly.

"Beautiful, I look good in whatever I wear." Aunt Liu straightened the blue forbidden step on her waist for her.

Luo Shuangyi raised his chin slightly and bent his beautiful eyes: "It's all mothers who are born well." ”

Aunt Liu raised her hand and scratched her nose: "It's not too early, your father is waiting for us outside, let's go." ”

"Hmm."

……

After entering the palace, many kings and nobles came to the banquet, and they greeted each other politely on their respective seats.

The little county lord sat opposite Luo Shuangyi and secretly greeted her, Luo Shuangyi nodded with a smile.

When the Queen Mother entered the table, everyone was silent and stood up in unison to salute.

"Now that everyone is here, let's start eating." The Queen Mother commanded, her eyes swept over Luo Shuangyi, "Let's gather together today, mainly to thicken the friendship between each other. Don't be restrained. ”

When everyone heard this, they all smiled and nodded in agreement.

The queen had a shallow smile on her cheeks: "The second thing is that now that these children have grown up, it's time to get to know each other." ”

"The Queen Mother is right." Lord Luo nodded in agreement.

"The mourning family, especially the big girl of Lord Luo's family, is particularly appreciative. Shuangyi is filial, humble and gentle, versatile, and is a model among noble women. The Queen Mother suddenly praised.

When Luo Yingxue heard this, her face immediately darkened.

She didn't understand why the Queen Mother said this. Didn't she always dislike Luo Yingxue, why did she hold her up so much in front of everyone now!

Angry and smashed the pastry in the bowl with chopsticks, her actions fell into the eyes of the victim, who thought that she didn't like the pastry, and blackened her face and asked the almond cake to be removed.

He sandwiched an acacia mille-feuille cake and put it in Luo Yingxue's bowl: "Eat this." ”

Luo Yingxue narrowed her eyes and said softly: "I want you to feed me." ”

And Luo Shuangyi, on the other side, listened to the Queen Mother's words, and felt even more confused.

is so decent, she didn't do anything, why did the Queen Mother praise her?

She was subconsciously on guard.

Lord Luo frowned almost invisibly, and said with a smile: "The Queen Mother praises falsely." ”

"The mourning family is telling the truth, Shuangyi has worked tirelessly into the palace to teach the princess etiquette in the past few days, without a word of complaint, this child is really sensible. The Luo family is really lucky to have such a child. The Queen Mother continued to smile and boast.

Luo Shuangyi drank the fruit wine silently, not knowing why the Queen Mother suddenly sang this play. She had a hunch that it wasn't a good thing.

Just thinking about it, I heard the Queen Mother mention the marriage of Xie Yuxuan and Yan.

"Xue'er is not sensible, and now that there is one more person to take care of the son, the mourning family can rest assured. Xie Jie, the seventh prince, is a talent, open-minded, and the mourning family feels that he is very suitable for Shuangyi. The Queen Mother said, looking at Luo Shuangyi, "Shuangyi, your sister is ignorant and made a mistake, the mourning family believes that you will not disappoint the mourning family, right?" ”

Without waiting for Luo Shuangyi to answer, the Queen Mother continued: "Seventh Prince, the mourning family married such a good girl to you, you have to cherish it." ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was surprised.

Xie Yuxuan held the attitude of watching the play, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When Luo Yingxue heard this, a smile appeared on her face, and she suddenly understood why the Queen Mother wanted to praise Luo Shuangyi.

She has already seen Xie Jie's character, even being so rude to women, she will not pity the fragrance and cherish the jade at all, Luo Shuangyi will have a good life if she marries such a person?

She poured a full cup of mint drink, clinked glasses with the mourners, and her voice was full of smiles: "Sister's good day is coming." ”

The little county lord looked at Luo Shuangyi worriedly, thinking that there was a big trouble.

"Daughter, who is this Seventh Prince? How is he and do you like him? Aunt Liu held Luo Shuangyi's hand and asked with a frown.

I didn't expect the most worrying thing to come.

"Xie Yuxuan's imperial brother, I haven't seen it a few times, but he's not a serious person." Luo Shuangyi frowned and said, as soon as she thought of Xie Jie's eyes and tone of voice, she felt disgusted.

Aunt Liu wanted to get up after hearing this, but Luo Shuangyi pressed her mother with sharp eyes, shook her head, and signaled her not to act rashly.

Everyone's eyes fell on Luo Shuangyi, some had an attitude of watching a good show, some were worried, and some were sympathetic.

Luo Shuangyi stood up, with a calm but firm expression on his face, slowly walked to His Royal Highness, knelt down without blinking, and said: "Queen Mother, now the Luo family has only one daughter in Shuangyi, and Shuangyi has secretly vowed to take good care of his father and mother, and never marry far away." It also lives up to the word 'filial piety'. I hope the Queen Mother understands Shuangyi's heart. ”

Her words not only showed that she did not agree with Luo Yingxue's identity, but also generously rejected the Queen Mother on the grounds of "filial piety", showing her determination.

The Queen Mother's face changed slightly, but she didn't expect her to dare to openly disobey her orders, but she couldn't find an excuse to ask her for a while on the grounds of filial piety.

Squinting her eyes, the Queen Mother glanced at Lord Luo, who was sitting next to her with a complicated face.

Heh, do you think this will stump her?

The Queen Mother bent her lips and looked reasonable: "What is filial piety and what is unfilial piety?" The mourning family thinks that your father and mother must also want you to marry as soon as possible. However, the mourners respect your opinion. ”

Luo Shuangyi lowered her head, she knew that the Queen Mother was not so easy to agree, and sure enough, the Queen Mother then threw the topic to Lord Luo.

"Lord Luo, what do you think?"

Lord Luo's face was embarrassed, if he refused, he would have openly offended the Queen Mother, but Luo Shuangyi was right, now there is only one daughter left in the Luo family, if she is allowed to marry far away, how can the family stand it! How could he give it!

He was thinking about how to speak, and the atmosphere was extremely cold for a while.
