Chapter 58: Qing Xue'er leaves
Qing Xue'er tidied up her appearance a little, followed her father-in-law's footsteps, and quickly arrived at the imperial study where Pei Tianyu was.
The father-in-law stood still at the door, knocked lightly on the door, and called respectfully: "Your Majesty, the servant brought Her Royal Highness the princess." ”
Pei Tianyu's slightly majestic voice soon came from inside: "Let her in." ”
Qing Xue'er didn't know what the emperor was looking for her, it was in time, and she was unprepared, so she was inevitably a little apprehensive. But looking at her father-in-law's somewhat indifferent eyes, she still stabilized her mind, cheered herself up in her heart, and pushed the door open and went in.
Pei Tianyu had not changed his dragon robe yet, and he was sitting in the imperial study looking through the recitals presented by the minister, and it was not until Qing Xue'er walked in front of him that he stopped and raised his head.
Qing Xue'er hurriedly saluted and asked, "Uncle Emperor, are you looking for Xue'er?" ”
Pei Tianyu looked at her, but he hadn't spoken yet, but his eyes made Qing Xue'er a little hairy. She didn't dare to look directly into Pei Tianyu's eyes, so she could only hang her head slightly, pretending not to see anything.
After a while, Pei Tianyu suddenly spoke: "Xue'er, you have been in the sky for a while, right?" ”
Qing Xue'er sighed in her heart, I don't know why he asked, but she still replied respectfully: "Yes, Xue'er has been away from the country for nearly half a month, thanks to the care of the emperor's uncle and brother Qian, otherwise Xue'er would not have lived so happily." As she spoke, she showed an innocent smile to Pei Tianyu.
Pei Tianyu nodded, and asked again intentionally or unintentionally: "Brother Qian?" Are you talking about my second emperor? ”
Qing Xue'er didn't seem to mean anything else when she saw Pei Tianyu, she just asked simply, a trace of shyness flashed on her face, her cheeks were dyed a little pink, and she whispered for a long time: "It's His Royal Highness the Second Prince, that's right, he took more care of Xue'er during the period when Xue'er lived in the palace, like a kind big brother, Xue'er was not very grateful." ”
Pei Tianyu's eyes seemed to flash something, but it was so fast that it was impossible to grasp.
"Oh? Do you just think of Qian'er as your brother? ”
Qing Xue'er was stunned, she didn't know how to answer for a while, she said yes, but she didn't regard him as a brother, she just called him like this, which made the two seem closer. Let's say no, she can't figure out what the emperor's uncle means, could it be that he wants to match the two of them?
Thinking of this, a ray of joy flashed in Qing Xue'er's eyes. She still decided to answer honestly: "Back to the emperor's uncle, Xue'er...... Xue'er didn't treat Brother Qian as an older brother. Cher......"
Qing Xue'er looked shy, shy and timid, although she didn't say it explicitly, but anyone with a discerning eye could see what her attitude towards the second prince was.
Pei Tianyu naturally also knew Qing Xue'er's attitude towards Pei Qian, he had just learned that now, it was just a matter of asking again to make sure.
He thought for a moment and spoke again, "Xue'er, do you know what happened in my imperial study some time ago?" ”
Qing Xue'er was stunned for a moment and asked, "Xue'er doesn't know, I don't know what's going on?" ”
Pei Tianyu thought of Su Wanqing's little face, smiled faintly, and said, "That day, I summoned Su Wanqing and your brother Qian. ”
Qing Xue'er was stunned when she heard Su Wanqing's three words, and after hearing Pei Tianyu's seemingly ridiculous "Your Brother Qian", her face became even redder, she thought that Uncle Emperor meant that he acquiesced in the "relationship" between the two of them, lowered her head shyly, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Uncle Emperor said that he laughed, Brother Qian is not Xue'er's." ”
Pei Tianyu's smile narrowed, and he suddenly asked: "Xue'er, if I say that there is a reason why I canceled the marriage contract between Su Wanqing and the second prince, do you know the reason?" ”
Looking at Pei Tianyu's eyes with "encouragement", Qing Xue'er suddenly became bolder, thinking that the emperor's uncle wanted her to say it. After all, even if she is not favored in Qingxiao Country, at least she is an upright true princess, unlike Su Wanqing, who is just the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Even if it's a concubine, in front of her, doesn't she have to be a little shorter?
She is not favored in Qingxiao Country, as long as she doesn't say it, who will know? Could it be that the emperor's uncle has recognized Brother Qian's ability and wants to make him the crown prince, so he plans to marry her as a princess to Brother Qian? After all, in this way, in the eyes of others, it is equivalent to Brother Qian's brother with a powerful country behind him as a helper, which is not comparable to any minister in the court who is loyal to him.
Does that mean that if she becomes the second princess, she may still be the most noble woman in a country in the future? After all, she is a princess, and the emperor's uncle likes her so much, it is absolutely impossible to let her be a concubine. Therefore, in order to make her a concubine, the emperor's uncle canceled the marriage contract between Su Wanqing and Brother Qian?
"Figured out" this layer, Qing Xue'er's waist straightened a lot. didn't expect the emperor's uncle to take care of her like this, which really flattered her. She will definitely live up to the emperor's uncle's "good intentions" and take good care of Brother Qian!
Qing Xue'er seems to have seen a bright future beckoning to her.
She looked at Pei Tianyu and said boldly: "I don't know if Miss Su and Brother Qian broke off the marriage contract because of ...... What about Miss Su pushing Cher into the lake that day? ”
Pei Tianyu narrowed his eyes, he had already taken all the expressions of Qing Xue'er into his eyes. This little girl, didn't she think she was going to marry her to Qian'er, right? Inexistent.
But Pei Tianyu didn't show it, he pretended to be casual and said, "Oh? Did Su Yatou really push you into the lake? How could she go so far? That's not what she said that day in the imperial study. After speaking, Pei Tianyu also put on a somewhat angry look.
Seeing Pei Tianyu's expression, Qing Xue'er thought that he was angry because Su Wanqing lied, and she was even more happy, so she hurriedly added a fire and said, "Uncle Emperor, that day...... Xue'er thought at first that Xue'er had accidentally fallen into the lake, so she spoke for Miss Su, and others said that Miss Su pushed it, but Xue'er still didn't believe it...... Later, Xue'er came to her senses and realized that the boat was moving so smoothly at that time, and Xue'er was also standing well, how could she ...... Miss Su when she touched her."
Qing Xue'er didn't finish her words, she even secretly praised herself in her words, implying that the emperor trusted Su Wanqing so much at the beginning, but he didn't expect her to treat herself like this. She believed that the emperor's uncle would definitely understand what she meant.
The anger on Pei Tianyu's face was even worse, but what he said this time was aimed at Qing Xue'er: "Xue'er, you really disappointed me!" I originally thought you were an obedient and well-behaved girl, but I didn't expect you to commit the crime of deception for your own selfish desires! How good you let me be to you! ”
Qing Xue'er's originally smiling little face stiffened suddenly, and then turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, but she couldn't figure out what was going on, could it be that the emperor's uncle would rather believe Su Wanqing than believe her? Impossible, if Uncle Emperor believed in Su Wanqing, how could he cancel her marriage contract with Brother Qian!
Qing Xue'er reacted quickly, her eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she said with a face full of grievances: "Uncle Emperor, Xue'er didn't reverse right and wrong, did Miss Su say something in front of Uncle Emperor to make Uncle Emperor misunderstand Xue'er so much?" Cher really didn't have ......."
The disappointed look on Pei Tianyu's face became more and more obvious, he knew that Qing Xue'er had framed Su Wanqing, and he intended to test her today. If she knew to admit her mistake, he would not be guilty of the past. But I didn't expect that this little girl was young, but she had a bad stomach, and at this time, she still bit Su Wanqing, which really disappointed him!
Pei Tianyu waved his hand and said calmly: "You don't need to say much, I have already understood all the truth of the day, are you also a fool like others, and you don't have the slightest ability to distinguish between right and wrong?" In that case, you might as well go back to your country. ”
Pei Tianyu's big hat was buttoned down, Qing Xue'er's face changed completely, she hurriedly knelt down, her face was pale and said: "Your Majesty, please, don't send Xue'er back, Xue'er finally left Qingxiao Country, please don't let Xue'er go back......"
Pei Tianyu glanced at her lightly and said, "If you stay obediently in Tianli Country, I didn't plan to do anything to you." But now you are biting others and have a vicious mind, and I can't accommodate you here. ”
Looking at the indifference in Pei Tianyu's eyes, Qing Xue'er's body softened, and her whole person fell to the ground, and her expression slowly became hollow.
She was really smart and confused for a while, she originally thought that the emperor liked her much, but she didn't expect that at the last moment, the emperor was waiting for her here.
Qing Xue'er understands everything now, and the emperor clearly dug a pit and guided her to jump down. But the fact is that she did it, and now who can she blame?
Pei Tianyu waved his hand and said, "You go down, I will send someone to send you back to China in a few days." ”
Qing Xue'er stood up in a daze, didn't forget to salute, and was about to go out of the door with a dead heart.
"Wait." Pei Tianyu suddenly called out to stop her.
Qing Xue'er looked back in a daze, not knowing what else Pei Tianyu was going to say.
Pei Tianyu looked at her and said lightly: "I forgot to tell you that Su Yatou and Qian'er's divorce was brought up by Su Yatou and has nothing to do with anyone else. ”
This sentence was like the last straw, crushing Qing Xue'er, a thin camel. She went limp, and she almost collapsed again.
At the moment, she understood everything. Where is Su Wanqing's love for the second prince who is crazy, and people are obviously disdainful! Otherwise, how could a woman who has not been out of the cabinet risk being spurned by others and insist on canceling a happy marriage?
She Qingxue'er naively thought that by robbing the second prince, she would be able to defeat Su Wanqing and erase her pride. But in fact, people don't care at all.
Everything is just her own passion, wishful thinking, and self-righteousness!
But to understand all this, it is already too late. Today's Qing Xueer has paid the price she deserves for her actions.
After Qing Xue'er left, Pei Tianyu looked at a screen on the left, and said helplessly with some pampering: "Huang'er, you come out." ”
The figure behind the screen moved slightly, and then, a wheelchair slowly moved out. If you don't look closely, no one will find out at all, but there is someone behind the screen!
Pei Xiu didn't have the slightest expression in his eyes, and he said lightly: "Thank you, father." ”
Pei Tianyu looked at his cold expression, helpless, but still said: "No need to thank me, is there any reason for you to protect that girl like this?" ”
Pei Xiu remembered the cute face of the little girl at the dinner that day, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
"There's no reason, it's just that she likes her."
