Chapter 445: One Glance
Guangyu's letter was not written directly to Jin Ling, but to the emperor Xia Chengyou in the name of the prince of Liang.
The letter arrived quickly, and it arrived in Xia Chengyou's hands at noon the next day.
With the letter from the prince of Liang, Xia Chengyou went to the palace of the Empress Dowager Xia.
In the Guixiang Palace, the Empress Dowager Xia was talking to Lu Lanzhi about the details of the reception of the old lady of the Jin family after entering the palace. Xia Chengyou walked into the hall without letting the palace people pass it on.
"Imperial Grandmother!" Xia Chengcheng saluted and sat opposite the Empress Dowager Xia.
Lu Lanzhi avoided it and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Since Xia Chengyou pampered Su Rong, Lu Lanzhi can hide from Xia Chengyou.
Xia Chengyou couldn't help but glance at the woman in a white dress who knelt down and saluted the self-proclaimed concubine.
At the time of the sacrifice, Lu Lanzhi and Su Rong were both dressed up. There is no room for distraction during the sacrifice. Xia Chengyou didn't even look carefully at the appearance of the two concubines.
Now I only saw a woman, kneeling in a white dress and hair, although she couldn't see her face, she felt like a hibiscus out of the water.
Su Rong is favored, and these days she is also dressed up extremely gorgeous. So Xia Chengyou couldn't help but look at Lu Lanzhi at first glance.
"Get up!" Xia Chengyou smiled pleasantly, "There is a virtuous concubine who is filial piety in front of the imperial grandmother, I thank you very much!" ”
"The concubine doesn't dare!" Lu Lanzhi knelt on the ground without raising her head, "It is a blessing for the concubine to be able to accompany the Empress Dowager." ”
"Get up!" Empress Dowager Xia also said, "It's all a family, get up and talk." ”
"Thank you, Queen Mother, thank you, Your Majesty." Lu Lanzhi saluted and slowly stood up, but kept hanging her head.
Seeing Xia Chengyou holding a brocade bag in his hand, Empress Dowager Xia smiled and said, "Whose letter did the emperor receive?" ”
"yes!" Xia Chengyou pushed the brocade bag in front of the Empress Dowager Xia, "Grandmother Huang, look! ”
Empress Dowager Xia stretched out her hand and took the brocade bag.
Lu Lanzhi hurriedly saluted again: "The Empress Dowager, Lanzhi suddenly thought that the screen of the east window in the hall over there is not yet good, and the concubines will go to see it first, so they will not bother the Empress Dowager and the emperor to talk about business." ”
"It's good!" Empress Dowager Xia nodded.
Hearing Lu Lanzhi say this, Xia Chengyou couldn't help but glance at Lu Lanzhi again, only to see her against her head, her face was even more petite, beautiful and lovely.
"Go ahead!" Xia Chengyou also smiled, "The virtuous concubine really deserves this virtuous word." ”
After Lu Lanzhi withdrew, Empress Dowager Xia slowly opened the bag.
There are three pieces of silk cloth in total.
One is a marriage letter written in the name of Princess Daxia to the prince of Liang, one is a note written by a scholar who sells silver needle tea to the prince of Liang, and the other is a petition from the prince of Liang asking the emperor to be a witness for the marriage between him and the eldest princess eight years later.
"Grandma!" Xia Chengyou approached the Empress Dowager Xia and whispered, "Although this writing is transcribed, the prince of Liang must have the original, and he won't joke about such a thing." ”
Empress Dowager Xia looked at Nobunaga and sighed: "This prince of Liang! This is clearly blackmail! The marriage letter, Father-in-law An also knows, when the situation forced it, your sister just used a delaying tactic......."
"Grandma!" Xia Chengyou hurriedly interrupted the Empress Dowager Xia, "The so-called word is the evidence, and if you write it, it is the evidence!" If the prince of Liang made this marriage letter public, the reputation of the imperial sister would be ruined. Besides, the imperial sister is actually the same age as the prince of Liang Wang, and the two of them have done the Golden Nine Blessing Immortal Wine together, and it is not impossible for the two to have feelings. If there is no emotion, the imperial sister will not specially let people send tea to the prince of Liang. Grandma, grandchildren always feel that the royal sister and Qi Huan are forced by the situation to be together, not sincerely......"
"That's it!" Empress Dowager Xia sighed, "Tomorrow they will arrive, whether it is true to ask or not." Besides, your imperial sister wrote a marriage letter for the prince of Liang, but you also have to look at the above conditions. Only when all the princes of King Liang have reached the agreement can they talk about marriage, otherwise he is not worthy. ”
"That's it!" Xia Chengyou nodded, "Then the grandson will personally ask the sister, the grandson only has such a sister, she is happy, and the grandson can feel at ease." ”
"Remember!" Empress Dowager Xia glanced at Xia Chengyou, "Qi Huan has always been your sister's favorite person, even if he is not, he is also the most important person to maintain the safety of our Great Xia." So this time, no matter what, you can't do anything about him again! ”
"My grandson wrote it down!" Xia Chengyou nodded obediently.
After chatting for a while, Xia Chengyou withdrew.
When passing by the side hall, Xia Chengyou couldn't help but look at the side halls on both sides.
Before, Lu Lanzhi and Su Rong lived in the two halls of Guixiang Palace.
After Su Rong accepted the favor, she moved to the Chuxiu Palace, which was relatively close to the Tianyou Palace.
This time, the old lady of the Jin family entered the palace, and in order to get close to her cousins, the Empress Dowager Xia specially arranged for the old lady of the Jin family to live in the east hall where Su Rong lived before.
It's the season when the flowers are in full bloom. Behind the purple and red flowers, the spring orchids under the doors and windows of the east hall are fragrant and pleasant. Behind the pale cyan curtain, a pretty shadow in a white dress was leaning sideways and looking up at the window curtain.
The pretty shadow, with a slender neck, looks like a blooming spring orchid.
"Laneige!" Xia Chengyou couldn't help but chuckle, "Sure enough, people are as good as their names!" ”
Hearing Xia Chengyou's praise, the little eunuch hurriedly smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager also often praises the virtuous concubine." ”
Xia Chengyou glanced at the little eunuch and then turned his head, and the silhouette behind the window was no longer visible. Yoyo took a breath and said to the little eunuch, "Let's go!" ”
Xia Chengyou went away.
In the side hall, Lu Lanzhi commanded the palace people to pull the window screen smoothly.
From the moment she bumped into Xia Chengyou, she realized that Xia Chengyou was looking at her.
Especially when she was standing in front of the window and directing the palace people to hang the window screen, the maid told her that the emperor was looking this way. She deliberately avoided it.
The people who can enter the palace with her are also her most trusted maids.
The maid also knew that Lu Lanzhi didn't want to accept favor, so she also helped her everywhere.
Seeing that the palace people hung up the window screen and withdrew, the maid stepped forward and whispered: "Niangniang, why does the slave think that the emperor has you in his eyes!" It's not good to avoid it all the time. ”
"What's so bad!" Lu Lanzhi also said softly, "After all, we have already told the Empress Dowager, and the emperor also knows." Besides, I've already married into the palace, and I can't fly. The emperor is a serious person, and he will never force me. Besides, isn't there still Sister Su? I heard that Jinling City has selected beauties again, maybe a batch will be sent to the palace at that time. ”
"yes!" The maid smiled, and her voice was much louder, "Old Madam Jin is also in Jinling City." I heard that this selection contest was led by the eldest princess. When Mrs. Jin comes over, maybe she can tell us about last year's grand occasion. The Empress Dowager will definitely be happy. ”
"Hmm!" Lu Lanzhi nodded, "Let's go back!" ”
