Chapter 126: Lively
What heartbeat is not heartbeat, Tong Yan only knew that she was panicked, she blushed, pulled out her hand vigorously, and retreated a few steps back.
Looking at the happy handsome face of the culprit, Tong Yan spat shyly, picked up her skirt and ran away.
Cheng Huai rubbed his fingers, looked at her back and fled, and chuckled twice.
It wasn't until he couldn't see Tong Yan that he smiled, looked in the direction of the forest with his hands, and stared at it with an unpredictable expression for a while, before turning around and walking back.
There was silence, and Qingzhi walked briskly with a quiver and a longbow on his back, startling a few sparrows.
Xiri Ahong slowly walked out from behind the tree, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, "The prince of Wei Guo." He reminisced word by word, and snorted coldly without smiling.
The weather in Beijing is cold when it is cold, and it is cold every day.
Although the cold wind outside is not big, it is also bone-chilling.
Tong Yan sat in the warm tent, drinking hot goat's milk, looking at the delicacies on the table, she always felt irritable and tight, she sighed secretly.
I don't know what the saint thinks, and he has to take his female dependents out to hunt on a cold day.
At the banquet, I didn't know what interesting things Concubine Jiang Shu said, which made the Queen Mother laugh again and again.
Tong Yan couldn't raise her interest, and only ate absentmindedly with her eyes down.
The men all rode out to hunt, leaving a room of female dependents, eating and chatting here, only the queen mother and a few ladies were very happy to talk and laugh, and their juniors were very bored.
"What do you think?" Mingyi touched Tong Yan's arm.
"What else can you think, out of your mind." Tong Yan's eyes were straight and motionless, and she sent a shelled hazelnut into her mouth.
"Yes." Mingyi supported his cheeks with one hand, and with the other hand, he boredly picked up a few and put a pattern on the table, "There's nothing fun here, you see those young ladies, one sits more dignified and virtuous than the other, and is not tired." ”
Tong Yan wanted to sneeze, she rubbed her nose, held back the sneeze, and said lightly, "That's no way, it's not all a good name." ”
It is said that three women play a play, and the women in this room are naturally indispensable, and just when the two of them feel bored, this fun thing comes.
A young lady with a raw face suddenly exclaimed, pointed to another beautiful lady who was sitting upright, and said in a small voice, "Miss Du, why did you tear a big hole in the back of your clothes?" ”
Everyone looked at Miss Nadu when they heard the sound.
Miss Du was dazed for a moment, then pulled her clothes and turned her head to look down.
Naturally, she couldn't see it, or her personal maid whispered in a panic, "Miss, what should I do, my clothes are really torn!" ”
That Miss Du's face was flushed, and she was at a loss and couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
"Which Du family is Miss Du?" Tong Yan asked curiously.
Without waiting for Qingzhi to speak, Xu Mingyi hurriedly replied, "It's the eldest daughter of Lord Du, the servant of the Criminal Department who has just been transferred to Beijing, Du Zhen." ”
As soon as Tong Yan wanted to speak, she heard the Queen Mother ask angrily, "Why can't Du Shilang even take out the silver to make clothes for his daughter?" ”
A beautiful woman, frightened, walked to the case of the Queen Mother with her skirt in broken steps, knelt down, kowtowed and said, "The little queen mother lost her honor in front of her mother, and she deserved to die, and I ask the queen mother to forgive her sins." ”
"Not really." Mingyi muttered, this is just a torn clothes, how can it be a crime that deserves death, and it is not a grand ceremony in front of the main hall, isn't it just to confess and change again.
The queen looked not very good, looked at the woman, and said in an unkind tone, "You are Du Shilang's wife?" ”
"It's the courtier." The woman thought that the Queen Mother was angry with herself, and said weakly.
"Hmph." The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "I have long heard that this Du Shilang's wife died just a month ago, and he married another beautiful girl, it seems that you are the later stepfamily." ”
Mrs. Du's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, the corners of her mouth trembled slightly, and she fell to the ground and said, "The pair of brothers and sisters left by the former lady are still young, so the husband hurriedly married the courtier, and it was also a helpless move......
The Queen Mother laughed as if she had heard some funny joke, and clapped her hands and said, "I heard again that you entered the door with your front foot and gave birth in less than six months?" Still leading a little girl who is a year younger than Miss Du? Didn't Mo have sex with her ex-husband? ”
"This ......" Mrs. Du was sweating like a bean, trembling all over, and her lips were white.
They have only just arrived in Beijing, how can the Queen Mother even know such a thing!
These noble ladies looked at Mrs. Du with a bad eye.
The Queen Mother didn't look at her, picked up the milk skin and took a shallow sip, and then said slowly, "I also heard that the original wife is your cousin?" ”
Mrs. Du collapsed directly to the ground.
There is buzzing discussion everywhere, such a thing is really shameless, where can a person with good conduct dare to deal with such a person, not only that, but this Du Shilang's career is probably going to be damaged!
Mingyi clenched his fists indignantly, and said angrily, "I didn't expect this Mrs. Du to be such a person, it's really hateful, maybe this original Mrs. was killed by her!" ”
Quite possibly! Tong Yan's eyes widened and she nodded approvingly.
I only heard the Queen Mother say slowly, "Did you say that you lied to me, and I didn't have to look at it?" Instead, it's deliberate! ”
Mrs. Du hated to pass out on the spot.
"Alright, alright." The Queen Mother waved her hand disappreciatively, "After all, Du Shilang still has to serve His Majesty, you, get up." She instructed the palace maid, "Go and take Miss Du to change her clothes, it just so happens that I still have two clothes that have just been made, I originally wanted to give Shuning Anle, so I will reward this Miss Du." ”
Miss Du was flattered and at a loss, but Chen Tan next to her reminded, "Go and thank you." ”
Miss Du just woke up from a dream, smiled gratefully at Chen Tan, walked to the Queen Mother's case as if she was stepping on the clouds, knelt down and thanked her.
This farce ended hastily.
Shu Ning, who was sitting next to the queen, quietly sat next to Mingyi.
Mingyi was taken aback, clutched his chest, and complained, "Why don't you even make a sound when you walk, it scares me to death." ”
Shuning glanced at her, "It's you who are distracted, you don't get scared when you look at Tong Yan." ”
"You sit next to me and you don't sit next to her, how can she be scared!" Mingyi's eyes widened and retorted.
Shuning didn't want to fight with her anymore, so she lowered her voice and said to the two of them, "Do you know why the imperial grandmother is targeting this Mrs. Du so much? ”
"What do you mean by targeting? This Mrs. Du is so bad, the Queen Mother is really chivalrous and does the right thing for heaven. Ming Yi glared at her unhappily.
Tong Yan was thoughtful, and happened to meet Shu Ning's worried gaze.
