Chapter 387: The Toad Wants to Eat Swan Meat
One is a female official in the palace, and the other is a princess sealed by His Majesty, how can the "sincerity" of the Queen Mother make Chu Yu a foreign minister?
More than an hour ago, Ye Zhi also told her that the assassination of Jiang Rong had made the relationship between the royal family and the prime minister's mansion more and more incompatible, and if he forcibly disposed of a princess again, the feud between the two sides would only accumulate deeper and deeper.
Mei Xiaoren tugged at his sleeve and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Forget it." β
Gu Chuyu turned his eyes to look at Mei Xiaoren and held her hand. She fought back in the past, but now what is the reason for "forget it"?
"The minister has no objection, and I ask the queen mother to forgive the minister for harassing her and retire."
Gu Chuyu took Mei Xiaoren and left the queen mother's bedroom.
The Queen Mother was still standing in front of the main hall, breathing a sigh of relief, wiping her chest, tonight's turmoil seemed to be resolved, but she was still uneasy in her heart, because none of the Gu family's father and son were willing to settle things, the more Gu Chuyu had no objection to her disposal, the more she felt that there would be troubles......
The garden is deep.
Mei Xiaoren came out of the queen mother's bedroom, and sighed as she walked: "I'm afraid of the women in the palace, and if I don't make trouble for three days, I will feel uneasy." The concubine is good at calculation, I know, I didn't expect that a girl who is less than double ten will be intrigued. He smiled again and said, "I haven't been with women since I was 16 years old, and I don't know what kind of conspiracy they play with each other. β
Gu Chuyu grabbed her waist, pulled her to her side, and said, "Don't mind, this won't happen again in the future." β
"I hope Haoyang can be restrained." Mei Xiaoren said this, and he always felt that Haoyang's little girl didn't hit the south wall and didn't look back.
Haoyang used to be tricky and willful, but after returning from the Xia Kingdom, he became bold and reckless, not afraid of heaven and earth, and thought that the whole world owed her, everyone had to let her, and she became more and more unable to distinguish right from wrong......
"Let's go back." Gu Chuyu said.
Mei Xiaoren nodded and responded, "Okay." β
Before they had taken two steps, they saw someone approaching them with a hurried pace, and the man stopped while he was watching them.
Haoyang is in trouble, how could her good sister ignore her.
Ji Nanrou was in such a hurry, she should have rushed to the queen mother's bedroom to intercede for Haoyang.
Mei Xiaoren and Gu Chuyu stopped moving, waiting for someone to approach.
"Senior brother." Ji Nanrou moved over, bowed, raised his head and asked, "I heard that the senior brother escorted Haoyang to the queen mother, I don't know what mistake Haoyang made to make the senior brother so angry?" β
"Ask her yourself."
It was just an indifferent response like a cool breeze swept into Ji Nanrou's heart, she pretended to be calm, and said: "Haoyang is still young, and he doesn't know the severity of his reckless actions, no matter what Haoyang does wrong, I hope that my senior brother can see ......."
Ji Nanrou paused, because she saw displeasure in Gu Chuyu's eyes, it can be seen that there are some things he didn't tell Mei Xiaoren, and naturally he didn't want her to mention it.
Ji Nanrou lowered her eyes, and then said: "I also hope that Senior Brother will forgive her for the sake of His Majesty and the Queen Mother, and I will often remind her in the future to make her look like a princess." β
He seemed to listen patiently to her finish, but as soon as the words fell, he took his "fiancΓ©e" to pass by her and left silently.
Ji Nanrou still lowered her eyes, put her hands in front of her, and looked dignified and polite. But no matter how dignified and virtuous she is, he treats her the same as other deep women, and it is polite to take care of her, and it is the norm to ignore her.
Ji Nanrou was silent for a while before looking back, and the figures of the two gradually melted into the night, and soon people couldn't see clearly.
The maid also looked at the direction they were leaving, and frowned, "Miss, tonight's matter is not trivial, but Xiangye doesn't seem to pay attention to it, why is this, doesn't Xiangye mind the old relationship between the young general and Mei Xiaoren at all?" β
Ji Nanrou retracted her gaze and couldn't help but raise her lips and sneer: "What can Haoyang's stupid brain do?" What a scene, she made a mess! β
She continued to walk towards the Queen Mother's bedroom, but the play seemed to be dispersed, she didn't need to be anxious anymore, her steps slowed down, and said: "I heard that Haoyang asked people to inform Ye Zhihe and Senior Brother, and couldn't wait to stay at the gate of the palace, wanting to personally lead Senior Brother over to break the adultery, she didn't want to think about it, Senior Brother saw her waiting there, did she think that Mei Xiaoren and Ye Zhixiang would meet spontaneously, and would conclude that this was deliberately arranged by someone?" β
The maid thought for a while and said, "The princess's move is tantamount to three hundred taels of silver here, and Xiangye can naturally think that it is the latter......"
"Now that the ladies of the important ministers of the court are living in the palace, they spread the word of right and wrong, and anyone has a headache, if even the senior brother blames Mei Xiaoren and Ye Zhi, then the matter of Mei Xiaoren and Ye Zhi's private meeting will not only go away overnight, but also confirm the rumors that they have a private affair, and Mei Xiaoren will inevitably lose face at that time." Ji Nanrou sighed with condensed eyes, "In front of the overall situation, how can senior brother be willing to let her ruin her reputation and fulfill other people's schemes." Only if he doesn't care, others don't dare to care. β
"What Miss means is that there seems to be nothing between them, but in fact, no one knows if there is a thorn in Xiangye's heart, maybe Xiangye just hides his anger in his heart to protect Mei Xiaoren."
Ji Nanrou hooked the corners of her mouth, and walked forward against the night breeze of Xi Xi, her voice was like frost: "How can she be so virtuous, can she be so maintained by her senior brother!" β
On the third day after Mei Xiaoren returned from the palace, he suddenly learned a shocking news.
The envoys of the Wuzhu Kingdom were originally going to leave Beijing tomorrow, and in order to make up for the previous misunderstanding, Daning gave them double the gold, silver and jewelry on the original reward, and also exempted them from nearly three years' annual offerings, but the envoys of the Wuzhu Kingdom made a new request to the Daning court the morning before leaving.
On the grounds that they wanted to completely resolve the misunderstanding, they hoped to make peace with Daning, and asked His Majesty to marry a princess of Daning.
Everyone knows that His Majesty has no daughters under his knees, and the heirs of the royal family are withering, and most of the daughters of the county prince's family have their own families, and there is only one woman of appropriate age who can marry as a royal family, and that is Haoyang.
Wuzhu Kingdom's request made the royal family explode, for the royal family, a small Wuzhu country marrying Princess Daning is simply a toad wanting to eat swan meat.
At the beginning, Haoyang was asked to go to Xia Kingdom and his relatives to resolve the war and solve the urgent need.
If it is peaceful today, such a request makes the royal family feel that it is not only unnecessary, but also has a little bit of meaning to make them condescend to dignity, so naturally few people agree.
After the queen mother learned of this, she didn't even care about appreciating the lotus, and rushed back from the palace with Haoyang early in the morning, hoping to stop the matter.
