Chapter 57: Cold War Heart-to-Heart Talks
On the way back to the palace, the maid was angry in her heart, and silently organized in her heart, thinking about how to let out this evil breath in front of the concubine.
Return to the palace and come to the palace to meet the concubine. As soon as she saw Concubine Lin, the maid cried and knelt down, stepped forward on her knees, and said with added vinegar: "The slave is sorry for the maid, the slave failed to complete the task that the maid gave to the slave, and even... even caused Niangniang to be slandered by Wei Xiyue. ”
Concubine Lin was furious when she heard this, and pointed to the maid and said, "You woman is so useless, and I treat you favorably everywhere on weekdays. You tell me carefully, what did Wei Xiyue's little slut do! ”
Seeing that Concubine Lin was so angry, the maid couldn't help but feel a little nervous, lest Concubine Lin be angry with herself, she carefully organized the language and replied: "After the slave maid arrived at the Wei Mansion, Wei Xiyue was not in the mansion, so the slave and maid talked to the Liu family, thinking of getting a little information. ”
Concubine Lin keenly caught the information that Wei Xiyue was not in the mansion at first, a trace of thought crossed her eyes, and she nodded, ordering the maid to continue.
The maid replied: "Soon after, Wei Xiyue returned to the house, and the slave and maid saluted her and conveyed the kindness of the maid, but she was very rude, first scolded the slave and maid, and after the slave and maid indicated that she wanted to bring his young brother into the palace, she hinted at the maid in a strange way. ”
"How dare she do this!" When Concubine Lin heard this, her willow eyebrows were upside down, and she almost wanted to crush a mouthful of silver teeth with hatred.
"The slave maid wanted to refute Wei Xiyue, but Wei Xiyue moved out of the Queen Mother, threatened the slave maid, and said that she would tell the Empress Dowager about it, but the slave and maid couldn't, so she had to go back to the palace." After the maid finished the ceremony, she saw that Concubine Lin had not responded for a long time, and she was uneasy in her heart, and secretly raised her eyes to look up.
Concubine Lin was extremely angry, but her heart was strangely calm, and she quickly thought about the next step, how to ensure that her mother and son were invincible?
Wei Mansion, the Liu family saw the palace maid turn around and brush her sleeves away, and she was terrified, but she believed that her daughter was a human being, and thought that Wei Xiyue was not a person who was unreasonable and unreasonable, so she took Wei Xiyue to sit down with concern and asked carefully.
"Sister Yue'er, for my mother to know that you have always been calm, what happened in the palace to make you so angry?"
Wei Xiyue didn't want to worry her mother, and it was inconvenient to say what she had just experienced, so she had to say perfunctorily: "Mother, just now in the palace, I saw Concubine Lin scolding the palace maid for no reason, and Concubine Lin was bumped into this scene by me, I am afraid that I will publicize it everywhere, knowing that I value you and Qingtan, so as to show favor to you and Brother Tan." ”
Knowing her son Mo Ruo's mother, the Liu family saw that Wei Xiyue was affectionate, so she knew that she was just perfunctory at this time, involving the royal family, in order to protect the two children, the Liu family had to continue to ask.
"Concubine Lin, what kind of person is this, although she lives in the mansion, she has heard of it, if she just punishes the palace maid, she will not take it to heart, but what has she done to you!"
When Wei Xiyue heard this, her eyes couldn't help flashing, and the Liu family paid attention to her daughter's expression and keenly captured this moment.
"Sister Yue'er, what did Concubine Lin do to you!" Although the pickled Liu family in the palace did not know much about it, the Liu family still heard about the vicious methods of the women in the back house, and saw that her daughter's expression was wrong, and a terrible conjecture took shape in her mind.
Seeing that the Liu family was holding on to this matter, Wei Xiyue had no choice but to tell all the things in the palace, but only concealed the drugging, worried that the Liu family would make some dangerous moves in a hurry.
The Liu family heard what Wei Xiyue said, and saw that things were not as expected in their hearts, and anger flooded into their hearts, "The most important reputation of my daughter's family, Concubine Lin dared to make the four princes defile you, my Wei family's dignified family, my daughter has fought bloody battles since the battlefield, and she protects these wastes!" ”
Wei Xiyue saw her mother defending herself like this, and a burst of warmth swelled in her heart, with her two worlds, Concubine Lin was no more than a clown in her eyes, worried that her mother would be angry, and she comforted her again and again.
"There is no need for a mother to be angry with such a little person, her daughter has already escaped with her whole body, and she will not fall into their hands in the future."
When Liu saw that his delicate daughter was so insulted by Concubine Lin, he was still angry in his heart. Raise her hand to convene the maid, ask the maid to change her clothes, she wants to enter the palace to state the crime of the concubine.
Wei Xiyue didn't want to be so widely implicated, knowing that even if the Liu family sued the emperor, the emperor would only reprimand him lightly, which could not make Concubine Lin get a real punishment, and it was easy to startle the snake, so he hurriedly stopped the Liu family.
"Mother doesn't need to be so angry, it's not worth it to be a concubine. If you think about it, the world knows that you love Concubine Lin today, and even if you go to Your Majesty, you will not be able to do it in the end. ”
Liu knew that Wei Xiyue's words were reasonable, but he was still indignant, and when he saw that Wei Xiyue seemed to have a plan in his chest, he asked questions.
Wei Xiyue was afraid that the wall had ears, so she didn't say much, but slowly calmed down for the Liu family.
Suddenly, there was a "squeak" outside the window, Liu and Wei Xi Yuegu were the same, the two of them looked at each other, and Liu shouted loudly: "Who is outside!" ”
Seeing that the people outside the house did not answer, Wei Xiyue and Liu glanced at each other and walked out softly.
Pushing open the door, Wei Xiyue found that at the corner of the corridor, a figure was turning away, she was on tiptoe, jumped up, and went to the person in an instant.
Wei Xiyue saw that it was Wei Qingtan, she frowned, and asked, "What are you doing here?" Come with me to Mother. ”
Wei Qingtan saw that Wei Xiyue easily caught herself, and she was not angry, but she couldn't break free, so she had to follow Wei Xiyue into the house.
Back in the house, Wei Xiyue put Wei Qingtan in front of the Liu family and did it to her mother's side.
Wei Qingtan saw that the eldest sister and her mother were there, thinking of the words he had just heard, he patted his chest and shouted, "I will definitely protect my sister!" ”
When the Liu family heard this, he was about to speak, but he heard Wei Xiyue scold: "Wei Qingtan, what are you involved in at a young age, it is only right to study hard." ”
"I'm not small! I'm the only boy in my family, and I'm supposed to protect my mother and eldest sister! Wei Qingtan saw that Wei Xiyue still regarded herself as a child, and not only did she fail to protect her mother and eldest sister, but she also had to be treated as a child, so he rebelled and stubbornly retorted.
Seeing that her younger brother was defending herself like this, Wei Xiyue couldn't help but think of Wei Qingtan's death in the previous life to save herself, and immediately began to panic, and scolded Wei Qingtan incoherently for being nosy.
The Liu family was very relieved to hear what Wei Qingtan said, but seeing that Wei Xiyue did not appreciate it, he understood what Wei Xiyue had just experienced, but he still frowned shallowly.
"Sister Yue, Qingtan is also for your good, why be so angry. Brother Tan, what your sister said is also right, you are still young, you are the age of studying, and you and your sister have everything outside. ”
Wei Qingtan stiffened his neck, his expression did not agree with what his mother said, Wei Xiyue saw that Wei Qingtan was so ignorant, turned around and slammed the door.
Liu sighed heavily, and wanted to pull Wei Qingtan over to explain carefully, but when Wei Qingtan saw that the eldest sister was like this, he also broke free from his mother's arms and ran out.
Seeing the chicken feathers on the ground, Liu's was powerless to support his forehead, and he was extremely helpless.
That night, Wei Xiyue was lying on the bed tossing and turning, thinking about all kinds of things that happened during the day, the chagrin of her carelessness, the fear of almost losing her body, and the guilt of her mother and younger brother, a variety of emotions were intertwined, surging her heart sullen.
Wei Xiyue looked at the leaky clock in the house, and when she saw that the hour had passed, she simply couldn't sleep, she got up and straightened her clothes, opened the window and flew away.
When she came to the Golden Valley Garden in the city, Wei Xiyue wanted to go to the pavilion in the center of the lake to sit, but when she came to the lake, she saw that there was already a person standing quietly in the pavilion.
The man heard the movement, looked back, Wei Xiyue saw the familiar face, the person in the pavilion turned out to be Huo Lingxiao.
When Huo Lingxiao saw Wei Xiyue, he couldn't help but be stunned, thinking of this, the wonderful fate, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.
He beckoned and called Wei Xiyue forward.
In this hazy night, the lake is sparkling, swinging in this pavilion, in a sparkling water shadow, both of them unconsciously let go of the camouflage and defense in the daytime.
"Xiyue, look at the moonlight." Huo Lingxiao pointed to a piece of moonlight reflected in the lake and said softly.
"I don't have this body for a long time, when will I forget the camp." Wei Xiyue looked at where Huo Lingxiao was pointing and muttered.
Huo Lingxiao saw that Wei Xiyue frowned, and he didn't ask much, just gossiping with Wei Xiyue.
Wei Xiyue was relieved by Huo Lingxiao's relief. The two stood side by side in the pavilion, quietly admiring the moonlight.
In the early morning of the next day, the old lady was shocked in the house, and it turned out that Concubine Lin had delivered the news from the palace to marry Wei Xiyue to the four princes.
In the old lady's room, a palace maid stood in a pavilion, looking at the old lady Wei without humility or arrogance, the old lady heard what the palace maid said, and didn't know how to deal with it, so she only said: "Thank you Concubine Niangniang for your appreciation, but this is a lifelong event for the little girl, and the old body also needs to ask her mother's opinion." Then he sent the maid back to the palace.
When the palace maid saw the old lady hesitating, she disdained it in her heart, but she didn't want to say anything, so she turned around proudly and left with the maid.
The old lady suddenly asked what Concubine Lin wanted, and she couldn't help but be confused, and after thinking about it for a long time, she sent someone to call Chen.
Chen knew that Concubine Lin had delivered the news from the palace, and couldn't help but be worried, worried that it was related to Wei Feiyu, and when she saw that the old lady sent someone to come, she hurriedly followed the person to the old lady's house.
When he entered the house, he saw a sadness shrouded in the old lady's eyebrows, and Chen's heart went up and down, "Mother, what's wrong?" ”
The old lady raised her eyes and saw Chen, waved her hand to retreat, called Chen to step forward, and said the order of the concubine.
When Chen heard this, she was ecstatic in her heart, she suppressed it and did not be overjoyed, and pretended to calmly echo the old lady and said: "The concubine knows, I don't know what my mother is worried about?" ”
"Wei Xiyue is already unruly, and Concubine Lin's Niangniang Wei Mansion can't afford to offend, plus when Concubine Yu's girl is really infatuated with the four princes, this thing is not easy to do."
Chen's heart moved, and he stepped forward and whispered: "Mother, Wei Xiyue is not without weakness, you see that the big house is thin..."
When the old lady heard this, her mind turned a few times, thinking that this method was feasible, and glanced at Chen with appreciation, and Chen Wei smiled and agreed.
