Chapter IV
"Miss, why are you here?" The housekeeper Uncle Zhang came out of the study, Ling Yueyan took a look, there was no one inside, and his father was not there.
"Where's my father?" Ling Yueyan asked.
Uncle Zhang's face changed, Ling Yueyan panicked, and said anxiously: "I asked your father!" Mother is really detained in the palace? ”
"Ahh Yes? Uncle Zhang was stunned by Ling Yueyan's questioning, and then thought that maybe Miss had misunderstood, thinking that Mrs. was in danger.
Uncle Zhang smiled slightly: "Miss, don't panic, it's okay, Madame left the palace too late, and the general was worried so he sent someone to spread the news and let Madame stay in Siwen Mansion for one night tonight." ”
"Really?" Ling Yueyan was skeptical.
The housekeeper repeatedly assured that it was true, but Ling Yueyan still didn't believe it, her mother didn't like to go back to Siwen Mansion the most, she usually couldn't get along with Mrs. Hanqing, how could she force herself and Mrs. Hanqing to stay in Siwen Mansion.
Ling Yueyan walked to the stable and led a horse casually to Siwen's mansion, she had to see her mother tonight no matter what, and she couldn't feel at ease if she didn't see her.
Siwenfu is the house of the Taifu, the Taifu is the teacher who teaches the princes, and is extremely respected in the right capital, and her mother is the daughter of the Taifu, she heard Granny Liu say that many famous sons in the right capital liked their mothers, but the mother took a fancy to her father, a founding general and the daughter of the Taifu, and it was also a good story in the right capital.
Lifting the reins lightly, the pony stopped at Siwen's Mansion, the gate was open, and a small servant ran out inside, and he was overjoyed to see that it was Ling Yueyan.
"Miss came just in time." Ling Yueyan jumped off the horse, and the little servant hurriedly stepped forward to lead the horse and tied it to the hanging horse post outside.
Ling Yueyan looked inside, the lights were bright, and she asked as she walked inside, "Mother is here?" ”
The little servant replied: "Yes, the eldest lady has to go back to the General's Mansion, and the lord sees that it is getting late and stops people from leaving, and the two are making trouble." ”
Ling Yueyan chuckled, and then he finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the backyard: "Did my mother say why she had to go back?" ”
Mother always holds the general's wife in the general's mansion, and only when she returns to Siwen's mansion will she occasionally lose her temper with her grandfather, don't look at her mother getting older, and even her father's words don't work when her temper is strong.
The little girl sighed: "The eldest lady came back with the second miss, what else?" ”
Ling Yueyan also guessed it, and knew that his mother must not want to be in the same house with Mrs. Han Qing, wasn't it because of this that the family was separated in the first place.
The little servant led Ling Yueyan to the backyard and left, although her grandfather was old, her voice was still loud, and she heard the argument inside before she entered the door.
"Yue'er did do something wrong, but after so many years, she is your sister after all." Grandfather said.
Granny Liu saw Ling Yueyan and stepped forward to salute but was stopped by her, she hadn't really seen her mother quarrel with her grandfather, let her listen to it for a while, Granny Liu understood Ling Yueyan's careful thinking very well, and stepped aside after quietly saluting.
I only heard my mother's voice coming: "I've already given her face outside, what's the matter, do you want me to pretend when I go home?" Fathers need to distinguish who is their own! ”
"Shut up!" Grandfather's hand stopped in mid-air when he stretched out to slap his mother's hand, the shadow became crooked under the candlelight, and Ling Yueyan let out a chuckle when he heard it.
The two argued vigorously, and didn't hear her laughter, Ling Yueyan was about to push the door in, but suddenly heard his mother pretend to cry: "Woo woo~ Father really doesn't love me and don't feel sorry for me, if it wasn't for the mother who died back then, I'm afraid that the general's wife wouldn't be me." ”
"Back then? You also have to mention back then, Yue'er was young and ignorant at that time, so you can't..."
"She's small? Obviously a year older than me, if it weren't for her father's insistence on changing her birthday, would I be able to have multiple sisters for no reason! Mother interrupted my grandfather.
Granny Liu walked up to Ling Yueyan and whispered: "Miss, Madame's wind and cold are just right, and the imperial doctor who entered the palace today said that you can't have too many mood swings, so as not to hurt your body." ”
Ling Yueyan nodded, pushed the door in, and startled his grandfather, who was just about to speak, and the wooden bead bracelet in his hand fell to the ground without holding it steadily.
Fortunately, it was Ling Yueyan who came in, but anyone else would inevitably be punished today, Ling Yueyan bent down and picked up the handpiece and handed it to his grandfather, winking at his grandfather.
"It is said that my grandfather is the most knowledgeable in Youjing City, and no matter how high his knowledge is, he can't quarrel with his own daughter when he quarrels~" Ling Yue said flutteringly.
"Yan'er? When did you come? When the general's wife saw her daughter appear, she naturally felt a little more confident, and stood up straight, as if she was going to get justice for herself tonight.
Taifu saw where his obedient granddaughter was still in the mood to argue with his daughter, and took back the bracelet from Ling Yueyan's hand, the wrinkles on his face cracked with laughter, and his white beard trembled.
"Have you eaten? My grandfather asked someone to get you something to eat. The tone was mild, as if the person who had just argued with his daughter was not him, and it was like two people.
"My grandfather is fine, Yan'er has eaten, and I came to pick up my mother and go home." Ling Yue Yan said.
As soon as he heard that his mother was going back to the house, he was happy, and his grandfather was depressed, Ling Yueyan knew that his grandfather was reluctant to his mother, and since his mother married into the General's Mansion, he rarely came back except for his relatives.
So the mother and daughter stayed in Siwen's Mansion for a while to make their grandfather happy before leaving, and late at night, my grandfather sent them away in the best carriage of Siwenfu.
"Is Mother still angry?" Ling Yueyan saw that her mother's face was wrong, and asked while sitting in the carriage.
The general's wife did have a bad face, but she was not angry, she was worried, the reason why she wanted to come back quickly was not only because she didn't want to be in the same mansion with Si Wenyue, but also because of the little girl who had just come to deliver the message.
The general usually asks his closest guards to deliver messages, and when she is in the palace today, she also faintly feels that something is wrong, the queen clearly says that she cares about her body, but most of the officials and relatives in the palace today are the wives of important ministers.
She shook her head and took Ling Yueyan's hand: "It's okay, Yan'er." ”
The queen intentionally or unintentionally talked about the funeral, and the general's entry into the palace this time was also dangerous, what she had to do now was to protect Yan'er and guard the general's mansion well.
"The discord between my mother and Mrs. Hanqing is a well-known thing in the right capital, and the queen never declares her mother and her at the same time, why is it so abnormal today?" Ling Yueyan asked again, only then did he remember that he was worried about his mother's whereabouts, and when he asked Uncle Zhang's father where he was going, Uncle Zhang's face seemed to be a little abnormal.
The general's wife looked at Ling Yueyan in front of her, shook her head and didn't speak, Yan'er is still young, many things are complicated, and she can avoid it.
Ling Yueyan, who was lying on the bed after returning to the General's Mansion, still felt that something was wrong, and he panicked, it stands to reason that his father is an important minister, and it is normal to discuss court affairs in the palace like this and not return at night, besides, his father's martial arts are extremely high, and no one in this right capital can hurt him.
But for some reason, Ling Yueyan just felt that this matter was not so simple, and she didn't know what happened to Brother Ye Zheng now, the reason why she asked Senior Brother to wait for two days was because she wanted to enter the palace to take a look at the third prince, if she guessed correctly, a eunuch would come to pick her up into the palace tomorrow.
The palace is making a change in the palace, which is a well-known thing in the right capital, but no one has said on the bright side that the emperor died suddenly, and he has not set up a prince.
According to the rules, the first day after the emperor's death, the concubines and princes knelt and were filial, followed by the important ministers and officials in the court, and finally the people knelt down in the imperial mausoleum.
Ling Yue got up early, put on a very light makeup, and entered the palace with the green pomegranate.
At the gate of the palace, they happened to meet the Li family's carriage, and when they opened the curtain, they happened to look at Li Nannan, and the two rolled their eyes at each other and got out of the carriage.
Li Nannan put on an extremely delicate makeup, and Ling Yueyan frowned: "I said, do you know what we are going to do when we enter the palace?" Such a thick makeup. ”
The two walked to the gate of the palace, and they had to search their bodies when they entered the palace as usual, and the purple cicada jumped out of nowhere, which startled Li Nannan, and then showed envious eyes, the first emperor authorized Ling Yueyan to enter the palace with a secret guard, which is the only favor in the right capital.
"Purple Cicada, you just wait for me outside, you don't have to follow." Zi Cicada was about to open her hands and wait to be searched, when she frowned when she heard Ling Yueyan say this.
Zi Cicada is wearing a purple dress, her face is not powdered, and her complexion is not as fair as that of an ordinary woman, and because she is wearing a purple shirt, she looks a little dark, but she is the best secret guard trained by her father.
"I'm a little worried." Zi Cicada said worriedly, and consciously took out the short sword hidden in his body, and Li Nannan on the side was stunned.
Li Nannan also has secret guards, but their girl's family usually encounters a hooligan thief or something like that, where do they need these swords, and they rolled their eyes at Ling Yueyan, they really take themselves too seriously.
Ling Yueyan took back the short sword from the hand of the lady who searched her body and handed it to Zi Chan: "What's not to worry about, at most it will come out tomorrow afternoon." ”
Zi Cicada reluctantly agreed: "Then I will stay outside the palace, and if Miss doesn't come out in the afternoon, I will rush in." ”
The two grandmothers on the side looked over, and several eunuchs behind Ling Yueyan and Li Nannan also looked up at the purple cicada at the same time, Ling Yueyan coughed twice, trying to dissolve this delicate atmosphere, and his eyes signaled the purple cicada to stop talking.
After searching his body, he hurriedly pulled the green pomegranate and left, although the purple cicada's martial arts are high, but his eyesight is not at all, saying that kind of thing on such an occasion, doesn't this mean that it is clear that someone in the palace wants to harm her, how to let her behave is really embarrassing.
"Why didn't your grumpy little box come?" Li Nannan chased after him.
Li Nannan knows, he is purely looking for something to say, Ling Yueyan never brings a small box when he enters the palace, and the small box usually speaks openly, in a place like the palace, once he says something wrong and is heard by someone with a heart, it may be a disaster for the whole family, even the General's Mansion is no exception.
