Chapter 118: Hanging Himself
Updated: 2014-03-26
In the carriage of Shangguan Mansion, the one sitting in it is naturally Shangguan Yi.
Sure enough, Qin Yunuan watched Shangguan Yi, who was also dressed extremely carefully today, get out of the carriage, and the ruby and golden steps on his head slammed crisply, making a beautiful silver bell-like sound.
At this time, Shangguan Yi happened to look at it, and saw Qin Yunuan and Qin Yunxiang who came to the banquet, and suddenly the corners of her mouth were imperceptible, with some strange excitement and joy, and at the same time, with an indescribable ghost, Qin Yunuan has always felt that since Shangguan Rang's death, although Shangguan Yi has returned to her lively and cheerful appearance in front of people, her eyes are no longer pure, and they are always mixed with very complex things, things that are intertwined with jealousy, hatred and unwillingness.
"You're here too." Shangguan Yi raised his head high, looked at Qin Yun's makeup with heavy makeup, and the corners of his mouth were full of contempt, "The Dou family has fallen, do you still have the heart to participate in the banquet?" β
"Aren't you here too?" Not to be outdone, this is the first time she has confronted Shangguan Yi, although she already knows that her relationship with Shangguan Yi has already broken up, and this confrontation is inevitable, but now that she sees Shangguan Yi who has been reborn, her heart is still not so stable.
Suddenly, looking at Qin Yun's gorgeous dress, Shangguan Yi suddenly understood why Qin Yunuan would tolerate Qin Yun's makeup coming together, and the corners of his mouth were even more wantonly raised a kind of secret smile after success, and said to Qin Yunuan: "You are really a master." β
An unknown sentence made Qin Yunuan slightly blessed, and made Qin Yunxiang inexplicably nervous. But when she thought of the sentence that Qin Linfeng hugged her last night, "I will enter the palace with you and protect you secretly", her heart seemed to relax again.
When the three of them arrived at the feast, the feast had already begun.
Today's Empress Dowager of Daqi, the old princess of Ning Wangfu are siblings, and they are also from the Yasukuni Mansion with noble blood and pure blood, but although the two are compatriots of the same mother, the sisterhood is not as deep as outsiders imagine.
Come to think of it, today's queen mother can be described as a heroine, not only gave birth to a son and a daughter for the first emperor, but also followed the first emperor to fight the world, pregnant with six armor, beating the war drum with his hand, when the Qi army was about to be defeated, the big belly in the displacement of the flying arrows between the morale of the three armies, and finally won more with less, achieved a great miracle in the military, that station battle, but also the most critical battle of the Great Qi to sit firmly in the Central Plains, but also since that war, the Great Qi will be completely driven to the north of Luguan to the north of the Central Plains, unified the Central Plains.
Such a queen mother is undoubtedly shining and resolute, and her deeds have also been written into the annals of Daqi and the female rules and female training for the enlightenment of her daughter's family.
And the old princess of King Ning's Mansion did not show weakness, and the story of following King Ning to quell the rebellion, making suggestions, and protecting the entire city of Lanzhou with her own strength has also been widely recited, and some people even exaggerated that if there is no sister flower of the Yasukuni Mansion, the time for the unification of the Central Plains by Great Qi will be postponed for 20 years.
And the friendship between the two people, who are closer and more glorious in their deeds, is often mixed with other things, especially between these two brilliant women.
When Qin Yunuan entered the table, the old princess of Ning Wangfu was raising her glass to the Queen Mother and said: "My sister, this cup is to congratulate my sister on her recovery from a serious illness, and I also wish my sister good health and longevity." β
Qin Yunuan knew very well what the "serious illness" in the mouth of the old princess of Ning Wangfu meant, that was the Dou family, the Dou family that had made the first emperor and the empress dowager regard them as tumors since the establishment of the Great Qi.
The Queen Mother's afterglow casually glanced at Qin Yunuan's arrival, and in the face of the toast of the old princess of Ning Wangfu, she also generously raised her wine glass and replied: "Thanks to the rejuvenation of the divine doctor, the mourning family can recover so quickly." With that, he drank most of the fruit wine with pleasure.
The old princess replied with a smile: "Sister should drink less, so as not to get drunk and hurt herself." β
"Hurt?" The Queen Mother smiled slightly, "The mourning family has always been drunk, and they have been hurting their bodies, what are you afraid of if you hurt a little more?" β
"Why did my sister say that?"
The Queen Mother just smiled at the old princess, kept her mouth shut and didn't answer, and suddenly looked at Qin Yunuan, looking surprised and surprised: "Miss Qin San can be regarded as here." β
Qin Yunuan hurriedly got up and saluted back: "There was a delay on the way, and I hope the Queen Mother will forgive me." β
The Queen Mother's news network can be said to be extendable in all directions, and the people under her hands have already told her what happened at the gate of the Qin family's mansion, and she naturally knows the real reason why Qin Yunuan came late, and she almost didn't even look at Qin Yun's makeup, who was dressed up today: "It's good to come, I've heard earlier that General Leng is talking about how virtuous and elegant the three girls of the Qin family are, dignified and beautiful, and now I can be regarded as seeing it, well, yes, it's really a wonderful person, General Leng has a good eye." β
The Queen Mother was on the rise, and Empress Chen also echoed: "I heard that there is also a lot of credit for eradicating the third girl of the Dou family Qin this time, but is it true? β
Empress Chen smiled dignifiedly, sure enough, if she didn't make a sound, she was already a blockbuster, Qin Yunuan's fingers trembled slightly, Qin Yunxiang sat next to her, and talked about her own merits in the process of uprooting the Dou family in front of Qin Yunmakeup, isn't it just that she is afraid that the world will not be chaotic?
Qin Yunuan smiled and said: "The courtiers have always believed that people have a way, God helps, people have no way, and the sky will perish, no matter what, my mother was born in the Dou family, and this time the Dou family was destroyed by the courtiers, it is really inconvenient to talk about it." On the one hand, he expressed his views and attitudes, the Dou family secretly controlled the government, colluded with the Eastern Qin assassins, threatened the imperial power, and was destroyed is also a cycle of cause and effect, on the other hand, he also clarified his attitude, and the public and private, Qin Yunuan answered very beautifully.
But Qin Yunxiang beside her trembled, and what did Qin Yunuan say? The Dou family is destroyed?
Destroying the door is to punish the nine clans, along with the immediate family and even the protΓ©gΓ©s of the grandfather, will be implicated, so isn't the mother ......
In the middle of his mind, Qin Yunxiang accidentally knocked over the wine cup beside him, and the blue-green fruit wine spilled out of the cup and quickly flowed down the table.
"Oops, my clothes." Qin Yunxiang screamed and stood up, slapping his wine-stained shirt in embarrassment while moving his seat and leaning back.
But it just so happened that Qin Yunxiang specially wore an extremely gorgeous big skirt with a floor-length skirt today, and she was not afraid of wearing a thick layer of folded yarn clothes in this hot summer, at this time she was like a crazy flower butterfly, she bumped into this to the left, and hit this to the right.
"Ouch, don't squeeze me."
"You stepped on me, you."
For a while, the banquet suddenly became chaotic.
Qin Yunuan coldly held a glass of wine on the side, almost with a play-watching attitude Looking at Qin Yun's makeup beside him in a panic, while looking at the reaction of the Queen Mother at the banquet, she actually found that the Queen Mother also had an indifferent look, as if she was not interested in such a trivial matter at all, or that she was waiting for something, to be more specific, she was waiting for Qin Yunuan to do something.
Seeing the right time, Qin Yunuan just cleaned up the cold frost behind him, and then, a stone the size of a fingernail hit Qin Yun's calf at a speed that was unrecognizable to the human eye.
There was a muffled sound, and with the fruit bowl and fruit wine on the case, Qin Yunxiang fell to the ground heavily, her hair bun was scattered, her clothes were already filthy, she had already made a foreign appearance in the crowd, and now an extremely proud first beauty of Daqi was now lying on the ground like a lost dog, at this time, Qin Yunxiang couldn't wait to find a hole to get into, and never come out again.
Her calves trembled like cramps, but no one was willing to take the initiative to help her up, today's banquet of the Queen Mother was all the ladies in Beijing, these noble ladies and daughters who had not left the cabinet were all affected by the arrogance of Dou Qing'e's mother and daughter on weekdays, and now they are all cold words everywhere.
"Yo, who is this? Why are you so rude, I'm afraid it's a concubine from a small family. β
"Where, I recognize this skirt, isn't it the cloud makeup sister of the Taiwei Mansion?"
"What are you talking about, Sister Yun Makeup has always understood etiquette, how can she be so reckless, and Sister Yun Makeup has always been able to dress up, how can such a person with heavy makeup look like a woman who hooks the fence, how can she be Sister Yun Makeup?"
"Alas, that's right, I heard this morning that Mrs. Qin of the Taiwei Mansion had hanged herself on the Mad Tower a few days ago, you said that if this is really Sister Yunxiang, her mother just died, not only did she not wear plain clothes but also dared to dress like this to the banquet, wouldn't it be too unfilial."
"Yes, this must not be Sister Yunxiang."
Commit suicide? Mother has already committed suicide in the Tower of the Insane?
Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Qin Yunxiang instantly got up from the ground, she dragged her spasmodic and convulsed calves, and moved step by step to the woman who had just spoken, and her mournful voice was like a female ghost crawling out of an ancient well: "What do you mean?" What happened to the mother? How could my mother kill herself? My mother has ...... Already dead? She spat out the word "dead" very lightly at the end, because she couldn't believe it and didn't want to believe it.
"Yo, what? It turns out that Miss Qin doesn't know yet, people in the capital have heard about it, just one morning after the sister-in-law of the Dou family committed suicide in Xiangguo Temple, Mrs. Qin also hanged herself with hemp rope in the Madman Tower, alas, but even if Mrs. Qin doesn't know herself, it is estimated that she will not live long, I heard that she was infected with leprosy in the Madman Tower, this kind of disease, once she got sick, it was extremely itchy, and some people tickled themselves to death, tsk, this is really ....... β
"Shut up! You are not allowed to say that about my mother! Qin Yunxiang seemed to be crazy, and pounced towards the woman.
"Stop her for me!" Empress Chen suddenly drank sternly, "This is in the palace, how can you be allowed to mess around with a little crazy woman!" β
