Chapter 223: Cicada Fall (2)
Rong Xu asked with some unacceptability, "Why do you seem to have foreseen this result from the beginning?" ”
Seeing that he was a little calmer, Xinyue really couldn't suppress the question he had always wanted to ask, so he asked Rong Xu, "You say, if I hadn't foreseen this result and was still in your backyard, what would I have been?" ”
"Since the Xiao family will gain new power, then Nanyin will not be in the position of concubine, and you..." Rong Xu finally figured it out, his eyes were complicated, and the initial questioning turned into a heartfelt distress, hanging his shoulders and muttering: "I'm sorry." ”
Xinyue didn't want to mention these things over and over again, so she asked Rong Xu again, "What I just said, do you remember it?" ”
Rong Xu nodded, "I, I remember." ”
"Then you can write to King Yu now, he doesn't have much time to delay." Xinyue watched Rong Xu leave, she sat on the chair on the side a little distracted, but her buttocks were not yet hot, and Feng'er came in again and said to Xinyue, "Girl, Miss Shan and Miss Yao are also here." ”
"Then did they meet the little prince?"
"It seems that I haven't encountered it. The little prince went out of our mansion, and only went to the north, but he couldn't meet the two young ladies from the south. Feng'er sent Rong Xu to the door, so he was still very familiar with his whereabouts.
When Xinyue heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay with him..."
Then, as if aware of something, she shut up, and then said to Feng'er, "Let them in." ”
Xinyue sat up straight again, beating her spirit, she actually went back to Jinling to recuperate in a warm and comfortable place, so that she would not die early because of excessive thoughts, but looking at this incident one after another, Liang Wei actually wished that she would die, so he would send her back.
laughed at herself like this, Shan'er and Yao'er came in side by side.
As soon as the two saw the new moon, Shan'er immediately spoke, "Sister-in-law, what does Your Majesty's will mean?" What exactly did Grandpa do? ”
"Sister-in-law, now that the wind in Beijing is getting so fast, Yao'er is a little scared." Saying that, Yao'er wanted to lean into Xinyue's arms, but saw that Xinyue didn't stretch out her hand.
"Sit down, you're going to get a little tired all the way." Saying that, the new moon asked Feng'er to hurry up to serve tea, but the two of them didn't have the heart to drink tea, and they both looked at the new moon eagerly.
Xinyue held the hot tea cup in her hand and waited quietly for the tea to cool, but the two girls did not give her this time, so Xinyue sighed and said to the two, "If I don't come back from the Imperial Tomb, are you two going to the Imperial Tomb to find me today?" ”
"Sister-in-law, is this the time to speak? You always know that my father-in-law doesn't like me, and now it's rumored in Beijing that Yanzhou was lost, because my grandfather and Liang Junli should cooperate with the outside world, and killed the old marquis Jiang, my father-in-law is in the house, and he doesn't even look at me, and my cheap mother-in-law wants to marry her niece and niece, Mao Lang, Mao Lang doesn't say anything, even the matter of child upbringing, I am not allowed to ask too much, Li'er is my son, even if I am tired by my grandfather, I should discipline his qualifications again. Xinyue looked at Shan'er with some indifference, and she complained to Xinyue about the grievances she had received in the Yanwen Mansion, without saying a word.
Shan'er noticed the difference in the new moon, and looked at the expressionless new moon, her tone became more urgent, and said to the new moon, "Look at your irrelevant face, what does it look like?" ”
Xinyue still looked at her lightly, and only spoke after a while, "Shan'er, did my aunt and uncle and I force you to marry into the Yanwen Mansion?" ”
What do you mean by that? How many years have it been, and you are still mentioning the events of the past, if you are really completely sure, then why is the princess of the Yanwen Mansion now me, not you? As she spoke, Shan'er stood up as if she had been hit by a pain point.
Xinyue was not frightened by this posture, but still said in an indifferent tone, "I mean, since you should marry the Yanwen Mansion, then what I heard at this time should be good news." ”
"You..."Shan'er wanted to say something, but was stopped by Crescent's suddenly raised tone, only to hear Crescent Moon continue, "So, since you feel that you deserve it and have peace of mind, you should live better than anyone else, and now that you are noisy in front of me, you put your face under the palm of my hand, you don't blame me, reach out and hit you." ”
Shan'er looked at the crescent moon in front of her with some horror, sat down in a daze, and said intermittently, "I, I, just want to ask my sister-in-law about you, the family." ”
Yao'er is no longer the innocent and kind little girl who has just come out of the cabinet, more than two years of experience, she has also reached many people's sophistication, looking at the new moon who has always been obedient to their sisters, suddenly so fierce, immediately changed her mood, in which she turned around, at the moment of nervousness, she reached out and pulled the new moon's clothes, "Sister-in-law, we are also anxious about this change, and I don't believe that grandpa can do the rumored thing." ”
"He'll give it to you..."Xinyue was angry, and almost said irreparable words, but just when the words were about to blurt out, Xinyue stopped in time, she lowered her shoulders and said to Yao'er, "Yao'er, King Yu is a very complicated person. He has always been a proud and very capable person, and he has a deep affection for Princess Yu, and he has a deep affection for your father and you. So, he, he died of shock and grief because of you, Princess Yu died of shock and grief, and his uncle fell from his horse and died in the fire, and a series of things, the most important thing is that because of his pride, he was repeatedly crushed under the feet of His Majesty today, and he naturally ...
"Naturally, he couldn't stand it, so in a hurry, he did something wrong. However, His Majesty also understands how much he has contributed to the Great Sage, when the first emperor was there, his great military exploits made His Majesty have no choice, it really made him lose face, so that His Majesty did not have the face to see the first emperor. Therefore, His Majesty's intention is to let King Yu take poison and then leave with dignity. Your elder brother will become the new generation of King Yu, and the glory of King Yu's Mansion will still be there, and there will even be a brighter future in the new dynasty. Xinyue looked at Yao'er's still somewhat bright eyes and said everything.
"Sister-in-law, I'm so scared." Saying that, Yao'er didn't care whether Xinyue stretched out her hand or not, so she hugged Xinyue with her backhand.
But the embrace of the new moon has become cold.
"Sister-in-law, I was also in a hurry just now." Shan'er saw that Xinyue seemed to be back to normal again, and her tone was soft, and she reached out to hold Xinyue's hand, but was dodged by Xinyue, she pushed Yao'er away, "Sit down." ”
Yao'er still wanted to be coquettish, but was stopped by Shan'er's eyes, only to hear Shan'er ask again, "Sister-in-law, then we will go later..."
"Shan'er, Yao'er, even if the Yuwang Mansion is raided and exterminated, you are the daughter of a foreign marriage, and you are not married to a small family without power, and the knife will not be able to reach you, so as long as you have one heart with your husband and gossip outside for a while, it will pass." Xinyue looked at Yao'er, who was stopped by Shan'er's look, and couldn't help but feel cold in her heart, Yao'er had never heard her words like this.
"Sister-in-law, isn't there anything you can do?" Yao'er wanted to hold Xinyue's hand, but Xinyue also dodged, "What can I do?" Speaking of which, now that I am the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, I have a grudge against you. But we are cousins, and for my aunt's sake, I won't get involved with you. ”
Crescent Moon reached out and stroked her sideburns, she hadn't felt the scar on her forehead for a long time, but today she felt that the scar was extremely itchy, as if it was about to heal.
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this, we will always be a family, what do you mean by not being involved with us?" Yao'er came here, after all, she was still shallow, and she still subconsciously relied on Xinyue to solve all her difficulties, so she was a little unacceptable for a while, but Xinyue knew that Shan'er understood.
Shan'er understands yes, but the Yuwang Mansion is in decline, although Xinyue said that there will be no changes in the Yuwang Mansion, but those dignitaries in the capital are the best at observing the direction of the wind in the court, and they are not adults who don't know the inside story, the Yuwang Mansion is guilty of treason, and who will be willing to associate with them with such a stain in the future. And Xinyue has always had a way, and she is Your Majesty's niece, and the relationship with the crown prince (King Rongying of Jin) also has an inexplicable connection, she can't want to withdraw, so she withdraws, so Shan'er just didn't hear the meaning, and forcibly took Xinyue's hand, "Sister-in-law, Yao'er is right, we grew up together since childhood, and we are naturally a family." ”
"Shan'er, you really are, you haven't changed." As she spoke, Xinyue sighed, "How can I be virtuous, I don't even have the ability to control my own fate." ”
"Sister-in-law, when I heard that Brother Xintai committed a crime, you begged the prince to speak for Brother Xintai, and Brother Xintai's family was saved, and now the period of confinement has been lifted, since you can speak in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, can you talk about it now." Shan'er is still pretending to be stupid, but she looks a little begging.
Xinyue really couldn't hold back a sneer, and then laughed in a good way, "Shan'er, you're really smart." ”
"That sister-in-law..."Shan'er thought that Xinyue didn't expect it at first, and the smile at this time was also because she listened to her advice and felt that this method was feasible, so she showed a comfortable smile, but Yao'er understood the meaning of Xinyue's smile, "Sister-in-law, are you unwilling to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for your grandfather?" ”
"By the way, I'm not going." Xinyue withdrew her hand from Shan'er's hand and patted Yao'er, who suddenly had a brain open.
"Xu Xinyue, you are really selfish, for the sake of your family's affairs, you have a hot fight with the prince, riding horses and drinking with him, during that time, the rumors in Beijing have been promoted, you don't care, but now it's my family's turn, you just refuse so directly, you are afraid that you have forgotten, who raised you to this day, you are really ungrateful." Shan'er still hasn't changed, and when she heard that Xinyue actually dared to refuse, she immediately became anxious.
Xinyue looked at the tea cup on the ground, which was thrown to the ground by her, and Shan'er, who was blushing because of anger, raised her eyebrows, "Shan'er, there is something you said right." For the sake of my own affairs, for the sake of my brother and my family, I can ignore the courtesy and shame of your mouth, and it works. My brother's family survived. Now, you have encountered the same thing, your family mansion is about to collapse, you have the ability, the ability to let it out. ”
Xinyue's tone was not high, and she slowly said the last sentence, "At the beginning, I saw that you were very open-minded for your own marriage. ”
"Heh..."Shan'er sneered, "In the end, it's still for me to rob you of your marriage." Then you should blame your mother, she told me to have more contact with Kong Mao, although he prefers to be with you, he is really a very good marriage partner, I just listened to my mother's words, why am I wrong? ”
"Sister, what are you talking about?" Yao'er grabbed Shan'er, but still couldn't stop her from saying everything.
Xinyue already knew everything, she thought she could face it calmly, but after all, she was a person, not a tool that could be used arbitrarily, and the anger in her heart made her breathe deeply, and finally she couldn't speak.
"Ah, didn't you have a lot of words and complaints to me just now? Xu Xinyue, you always think that I robbed your Kong Mao, but have you fought for it once? It's not that you can't enter the palace, you can't go to see Duke Yanwen, even if you said at the time, you want to marry Kong Mao, I won't be here today to make you resentful. You think I robbed it, but you don't want it, and you feel sorry for yourself here. Xu Xinyue, the first prince is too, Kong Mao is too, why don't you put them in your eyes. How can I look at you like a victim now, you have today, and you didn't do it yourself. Shan'er was simply full of firepower, and she said all the things she had seen from the side for so many years.
Xinyue coughed because of the shock of her breath, and finally had to close her eyes to stabilize her emotions, and then she stood up a little uncontrollably, "Get out, you all get out of here, this is my home, not yours." You can't bully me in my house yet. ”
Saying that, Xinyue swept the cup on the ground, but the emotions in her heart really couldn't be vented, so she said, "Shan'er, since you know everything, let me ask you, if I don't marry into the Yu Palace, do you know what will happen to the Yu Palace?" The Queen Mother took pity on me, afraid that I would be like my mother, because I was young and widowed and couldn't think about it, so I persuaded Your Majesty to show mercy to the subordinates of Yuwangfu, you remember, if there was no me, your Yuwangfu would have long since ceased to exist. I said this to King Yu, and now I will say it to you again, is this your attitude towards the talisman? ”
After saying that, the crescent moon brushed away.
