Chapter 6: The Red Veil
Check the Yuan Red Papa?
And this perverted rule? Do you need to take out this bit of privacy between the husband and wife for others to admire and judge? Are there still standard requirements for size, shape, color?
Moreover, she is no longer a girl, where to find a red veil? No, she doesn't have a cave room with the Qiwang.
Leng Qinghuan knelt on the ground, still hesitating to consider how to phrase it, and Murong Qi said lightly: "She was injured yesterday, and we haven't had a cave yet. ”
Leng Qinghuan's body was shocked, she thought that Murong Qi hated herself like that, and after entering the palace, she would definitely be eager to expose the stain that she was not perfect, and then without him opening her mouth, the Queen Mother would definitely cure her sins without hesitation. In this way, he can fly with Leng Qinglang.
He actually took the initiative to speak for himself, which made Leng Qinghuan stunned, and turned his face to see that Murong Qi had a handsome face on his side, still with an unconcealable disgust, disdainful of looking at her, and kept a distance from her.
Is it sympathy for himself, or is the man's pride at work, just a royal face?
"The old slave dared to ask again, what about the side concubine?"
Concubine Hui frowned slightly: "You shouldn't have rested in the room of the second lady of the Leng family last night, right?" ”
Murong Qi shook his head: "Last night, Erchen was worried about his grandmother's condition, so he went to the Anguo Mansion, returned late at night, and rested in the study. ”
Concubine Hui said softly: "You are a member of the royal family, even if others lose their dignity, you should know the proportions." You like the second lady of the Leng family, the queen mother also agreed, the coming day is long, don't be in a hurry, don't be greedy for a while, spoil the order of your wife and concubine, and make your imperial grandmother angry. ”
Concubine Hui didn't mention herself or reprimand, but Leng Qinghuan could hear her dissatisfaction with herself between the lines. He only lowered his head and said nothing, waiting for Murong Qi to take the lead in proposing to withdraw from the marriage.
Murong Qi pursed his thin lips: "Erchen remember the teachings of the concubine. ”
Concubine Hui bowed slightly, and the palace people serving on the side immediately stepped forward with two red dates and lotus seed tea, bowed slightly, and handed them to Murong Qi and Leng Qinghuan.
Tea, because it cannot be removed after planting, represents the meaning of starting from the beginning. The newlywed tea ceremony represents the mother-in-law's recognition of her daughter-in-law's identity.
Therefore, Leng Qinghuan hesitated for a while, not knowing whether this tea was respectful or disrespectful?
Murong Qi didn't stretch out his hand, nor did he get up. The two of them were there, and neither of them spoke first.
"Mother, my son has something to say."
"If you have anything to say, you will get up after the tea and speak slowly." Concubine Hui's gaze lightly swept over the grandmother behind her, with a deep meaning.
Murong Qi swallowed the words behind him, turned around and picked up a cup of lotus seed tea, held it above his head with both hands, Concubine Hui took it in his hand, took a small sip, and nodded with satisfaction.
The palace maid leaned the tray towards Leng Qinghuan, and Leng Qinghuan only peeked into Concubine Hui's eyes, knowing that it should be her grandmother, and Concubine Hui was jealous, so she also raised her hand to serve the cup of tea.
As soon as it was brought to her hand, the palace maid removed the tray like running water, and Leng Qinghuan felt that the tea cup was hot, as if it had just been boiled in boiling water, no, it should have been burned on the fire, like a hot soldering iron. She was caught off guard and immediately threw herself out.
She and Murong Qi knelt side by side, and the tea cup bloomed between the two of them, splashing their bodies. And she couldn't help it, and she gasped.
The fingertips that were as white as jade were burned and quickly reddened.
The green tendons on Murong Qi's forehead jumped, and his cold eyes narrowed: "Leng Qinghuan, did you do it on purpose?" ”
Concubine Hui also got up "pout", and was about to be angry, but she endured it again, and asked with a concerned face: "What's wrong?" But the injuries on his body hurt so badly that he was unstable? ”
As soon as Leng Qinghuan raised her face, she could see the coolness in her eyes, knowing that the concern on the surface was just a show. At this time, I figured out how much the mother behind her came from, and it should be the person in front of the Queen Mother. That's why Concubine Hui didn't say a word about her actions yesterday, and behaved so lovingly.
In this case, she shouldn't have nothing to do and make things difficult for herself, right? So there is something strange in this tea, who deliberately can't get along with himself?
And the teacup fell to the ground and shattered, and the temperature quickly dropped, and he explained truthfully, but I was afraid that no one would believe it, and would only say that he was too squeamish.
She curled her hot fingertips into her cuffs and nodded: "Concubine Xie is worried, her hands trembled for a while, and she didn't hold it steady." ”
Concubine Hui didn't smile with a smile on her face: "It's okay, the concubine forgot that you have an injury, get up quickly, be careful not to be stabbed." ”
Leng Qinghuan struggled to get up, and his grandmother immediately proposed to retire with her eyes: "Since Princess Qi is inconvenient today, then the old slave will not bother here." Please also ask Concubine Hui to bother in the future. ”
Concubine Hui politely said a few words, ordered someone to send her out, and when she turned her face to look at Leng Qinghuan again, she immediately changed her complexion, snorted heavily, and covered her face with frost.
"Miss Leng doesn't look good-looking, is she unwell, or is she deliberately giving the palace a face in front of the Queen Mother?"
Leng Qinghuan stood aside with his head lowered and replied calmly: "Qinghuan doesn't dare, maybe it's just that he has lost too much blood." ”
"Excessive blood loss?" Concubine Hui sneered and slapped the table: "Let's talk about it when we mention it, on the wedding day, those who are looking for death and life have made the entire Shangjing City look lively, and they are so angry that Qi'er's grandmother is sick, making this palace a laughing stock for others." This palace asks you, but my Qi'er is not worthy of your eldest lady? ”
Leng Qinghuan is really aggrieved in his heart, the original owner is carrying a ball of unknown origin in his stomach, this is the shortcoming, he is facing other people's questions and accusations, and he can't be hard if he wants to.
"It's Qinghuan who is ashamed of himself, and he is not worthy of the Qi prince."
Murong Qi took the opportunity to express his intention bluntly: "Therefore, the sons and daughters implore the emperor and the imperial grandmother to be the masters of the divorce or divorce, and canonize Miss Leng Er of the Prime Minister's Mansion as the main concubine." ”
Concubine Hui was stunned for a moment: "Nonsense! How can two people not quarrel, a little awkwardness will be dead or alive, noisy and separated? Do you still have your father and grandmother in your eyes? ”
As soon as her grandmother left, Concubine Hui picked her nose and eyes, looking at herself unpleasantly, she thought that Concubine Hui would happily accept it. Unexpectedly, Concubine Hui objected without thinking.
Concubine Hui is really dissatisfied with the daughter-in-law in front of her, mainly because of yesterday's farce, just like most mothers-in-law in the world, she will give a dismount when she meets today, which is bound to take advantage of Leng Qinghuan.
But then again, Leng Qing Huangui is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and this family is still satisfied. Besides, this is the Queen Mother's marriage, Murong Qi shouted three times and twice that he didn't like it, and the Queen Mother must be unhappy. And it will undoubtedly offend the Prime Minister. Weighing the pros and cons, she gave a cold face in front of the Queen Mother's people today.
"The son-in-law has made up his mind, and he also asks his mother to fulfill it." Murong Qi was categorical.
"If the mother says no, it won't work!" Concubine Hui persuaded bitterly: "Do you like the second lady, hold it in your hand or hold it in your mouth, as long as it's not too outrageous, we don't care." However, you just got married and divorced, for no reason, didn't you deliberately make your imperial grandmother angry? Where do you put Xiangye's face? ”
The words "for no reason" bite very hard, which is clearly a reminder of something.
Murong Qi glanced at Leng Qinghuan coldly: "Both of us are all voluntary, and we are not abandoned." ”
Leng Qinghuan also pursed her lips: "Please also ask for the mother's permission." ”
The three of them had their own thoughts and scruples, and they were a little stalemate for a while.
Outside, someone from the palace came in with their heads down, and replied softly: "Qi Yu Niangniang, the prince of the Guogong Mansion asked someone to bring an import letter outside the palace, and he was anxious to see the princess Niangniang." ”
Shen Linfeng? What does he look for himself?
