Chapter 280: The Storm of Distant Marriage
The palace banquet fell into a silent silence, and everyone's eyes fell on Lord Luo, looking at the Queen Mother's appearance, it seemed that she was not ready to stop there, but had already stared at Lord Luo, waiting for an answer.
"As a royal family, there are always some responsibilities on your body, could it be that such a major event as the marriage between the two countries is not as good as your daughter of the Luo Palace?"
The smile on the corner of the Queen Mother's lips gradually turned cold, and the atmosphere became tense.
Lord Luo lowered his head and maintained a humble posture. Luo Shuangyi saw that Lord Luo's hand holding the cup was trembling slightly, and his muscles and bones were white, showing that he was really enduring great torture.
Under such coercion from the Queen Mother, he was still reluctant to speak easily, because he understood that what he said on such an occasion was not child's play, and once he spoke, it would affect Luo Shuangyi's life.
Luo Shuangyi really couldn't bear to see his father being so embarrassed, and made up his mind that even if he was held accountable, he would open his mouth for Luo Wangye, kneeling on the ground and just about to speak, he suddenly heard a crisp sound of "clanging" in his ears.
In this quiet environment where a needle can be heard, this sound is particularly harsh, and everyone is also looking away, looking inquiringly at the place where the sound came from.
Xie Yuxuan didn't panic at all under the gaze of these people, and even lazily covered his mouth and yawned a long time, dragging his voice and saying, "It's really rude." ”
However, her expression and appearance are not like an embarrassing faux pas for knocking over the cup, but more like complaining.
"I thought your palace banquet was so interesting, but I didn't expect it to be so boring, so I accidentally knocked over the cup, the queen mother won't blame the palace, right?"
As he spoke, he blinked his eyes and looked at the Queen Mother, who was very innocent.
The Queen Mother seemed to smile, "How come, the mourning family thinks that the county lord is delicate and a wonderful person." ”
This is clearly saying that Xie Yuxuan did this on purpose, and it seemed to be careless on the surface, but it was actually intentional, just to relieve Lord Luo.
In fact, it's not just the Queen Mother who thinks so, Luo Shuangyi is also so suspicious just now.
The main thing is that she is more sure of this matter if someone else changes, but it is Xie Yuxuan.
Since this princess entered the imperial city, she has shown every day that she is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, so Luo Shuangyi can't believe it for a moment.
"The Queen Mother is really a mistake, Yu Yuan is clumsy, how dare she be a wonderful word." After being seen through by the Queen Mother, Xie Yuxuan grinned and began to change the topic of what happened just now, "But I heard that the dancing girls in the palace have their own unique skills, and that's a wonder!" ”
And the queen mother was willing to give her this face, and said: "If the county lord wants to see it, then let them offer a dance to help the fun." ”
As if nothing had happened just now, Luo Shuangyi, who was kneeling, was helped back to his place, and the palace banquet also resumed the scene of singing and dancing.
"Mother's heart is about to jump out just now, Mother is just your daughter......" Luo Shuangyi was tightly grabbed by Aunt Liu's hand as soon as she came back, she was soft-spoken, she didn't dare to speak, her heart was on her husband and daughter, and her hand was cold until now.
Luo Shuangyi listened to Aunt Liu's chatter in her ears inadvertently, her eyes looked in the direction of Xie Yuxuan, Xie Yuxuan held her chin, as if she was really appreciating the dance at the palace banquet, and didn't take the incident just now to heart.
Maybe Luo Shuangyi watched it for too long, and was finally noticed by Xie Yuxuan, the two eyes collided, Luo Shuangyi thought about it, sat upright and bowed to people, hoping that Xie Yuxuan could feel conscious gratitude.
Xie Yuxuan's response was very interesting, after she saw Luo Shuangyi's movements, she raised her eyebrows slightly, revealing a smile of unknown meaning, and then looked away from Luo Shuangyi.
The interaction between the two was only for a moment, almost invisible, but it all fell into the eyes of the Queen Mother.
The grandmother who followed the queen mother was displeased: "This county lord is too-"
Too much nosy.
Before he finished speaking, he heard the Queen Mother show her intentions, and unexpectedly, the Queen Mother didn't seem to mind what happened just now, but said lightly: "This dance is good, it's hard for them, remember to give some rewards later." ”
Seeing that the Queen Mother had no intention of being angry, Mama could only keep her mouth shut.
On the other hand, Aunt Liu didn't think the singing and dancing in this palace were wonderful, she only felt noisy, and she was uneasy to confirm to Luo Shuangyi.
"What the hell do you say about this, will the Queen Mother still mention it, do we have to think of a way to deal with it just in case......"
Looking at Aunt Liu, who was like a frightened bird, Luo Shuangyi just smiled, and she reached out and grabbed a piece of tender fish from the dishes.
Aunt Liu glared slightly, this unlucky child, why is she still in the mood to eat at this time?
But seeing that Luo Shuangyi carefully picked out the fish bones in the meat, and then put them in front of Aunt Liu, he said with a smile: "The imperial chef in this palace is a must for making fish, you can't eat it outside, mother, you can taste it." ”
The daughter in front of her smiled like a flower, Aunt Liu was moved and uneasy, and wanted to ask, but she heard Luo Shuangyi speak first.
"Mother, don't worry, today's incident has come to this, I think the Queen Mother intends to let us go, maybe she won't mention it again in the future."
Aunt Liu didn't understand these twists and turns in the palace, but when she heard Luo Shuangyi say this, she figured it out, and finally stopped asking questions and tasted the fish with peace of mind.
Only Luo Shuangyi himself knows.
The Queen Mother is definitely not such an easy person to give up.
This palace banquet was lively for a long time before it dispersed, and Luo Shuangyi was originally going to follow Aunt Liu back to the house, but the two of them stepped out of the palace gate, and there was a sound of catching up behind them.
"The Queen Mother, Miss Liuluo will speak, this lady, please leave first."
"I'm not leaving, I'm just waiting for Yi'er here."
The grandmother glared at her eyes and said angrily: "What place do you think you have under your feet, and you can decide to stay?" This is the palace, not your Luo Wangfu! ”
Aunt Liu was reprimanded, and the expression on her face was very aggrieved, but she still grabbed Luo Shuangyi's hand and didn't let go, Luo Shuangyi sighed silently in her heart, she still had to come, she knew that things were not simple, and she still had to persuade Aunt Liu.
"Don't worry, mother, the queen mother just wants to talk to her daughter, and besides, the palace is so safe, what else can happen to her daughter?"
was so half-coaxed and half-deceived, and finally let people take Aunt Liu away, the grandmother who passed the word was the person next to the Queen Mother, probably because she felt that her status was noble, and her eyes were about to grow to her forehead, and she kept a straight face when she led Luo Shuangyi, and there were no extra words.
Finally returned to the queen mother's bedroom, at this moment the banquet was scattered, and there was only the queen mother on the high seat in the huge palace, which seemed quiet and deserted.
was brought to the Queen Mother, Luo Shuangyi knelt down without saying a word, not to ask for peace, but to ask for sin.
The Queen Mother sneered, "You're obedient." ”
Knowing that he was not likable, he put on a pitiful look and let others deal with it.
Luo Shuangyi still didn't speak, but lowered her head when she was silent, she knew that she was wrong to say more in front of the Queen Mother, and at this time...... No one should save themselves.
"The mourning family doesn't want to embarrass you, and as long as you are willing to marry far away, the mourning family can also give you some honors to add glory to the lintel of your Luo Wangfu."
Luo Shuangyi heard the Queen Mother's voice with a sense of charity, and finally decided not to be silent anymore.
"The queen mother, the courtiers have already said that their parents are getting older and older, and the courtiers will never marry far away in this life, please fulfill the queen mother."
"Presumptuous!"
Sure enough, the repeated refusal provoked the anger of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother slapped her palm on the table, and scolded angrily: "What are you, dare to disobey Yi's will?" Although it is the blood of the royal family, it is only a concubine, is it not possible to marry the prince of a country and wronged you? ! ”
On the contrary, Luo Shuangyi was neither humble nor arrogant, straightened his back and said without being humble or arrogant: "The courtiers are lowly and can't afford to be peaceful, if the queen mother insists on doing so, it will only be the corpse of the courtiers who will be sent to marry far away." ”
"You ......" The Queen Mother was angry, but she was stunned for a moment when she saw Luo Shuangyi's eyes, as if she realized that Luo Shuangyi was serious.
"Do you think that if this is the case, the mourning family will have no way to take you?"
Jiang is old and spicy after all, the Queen Mother looked at Luo Shuangyi, who was kneeling on the ground and unyielding, and suddenly laughed, and at the same time, Luo Shuangyi also had a bad premonition in her heart.
"You're not afraid of death, and Prince Luo isn't afraid of death?"
"Oh yes, and your mother, look at the mourning family today, the relationship between your mother and daughter seems to be very good, it is really a mother and a son, and it is enviable......"
"Queen Mother!"
Luo Shuangyi was more or less angry, he couldn't believe that this high-ranking royal family would use such means to threaten himself?
But the Queen Mother also smiled and said: "What are you anxious about, the mourning family gives you the right to choose, marry or not, you decide for yourself." ”
Luo Shuangyi understood that the Queen Mother was sure that she would not refuse, and when she was unwilling, a voice came from the door from afar.
"Since the Queen Mother is deciding on my marriage, doesn't she need to ask my own opinion?"
The person who came turned out to be Xie Jie, he seemed to have been here for a long time, as if he had heard what was happening in the hall clearly, and walked to Luo Shuangyi's side to salute, with a leisurely and meaningless attitude, as if he was in the back garden of his own home.
"Xie Jie? What are you doing here? ”
Xie Jie did not answer the Queen Mother's question, but turned to Luo Shuangyi and said, "Miss Luo, don't worry, I don't like it to the point that you don't marry." ”
"Xie Jie!" The Queen Mother expressed her dissatisfaction and called Xie Jie's name in warning.
Xie Jie restrained his indecent look at this time, and replied to the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother, I have never liked the difficulties of strong people, Miss Luo is filial, and it is better to be perfect." ”
"You ......" The Queen Mother looked at Xie Jie and frowned, as if she had some doubts, but after a while, she finally compromised, and said weakly to Luo Shuangyi, who was still kneeling: "That's it, let's stop today's business for the time being, you go back first." ”
Luo Shuangyi bowed and retired, and he walked out of the palace all the way and was still a little unconscious.
