Chapter 67: Entering the Palace
Xie Yanhe left from Princess Fuqing's mansion, and as soon as he arrived in the mansion, he ushered in the descendants of the eldest princess of Ping'an.
"County Lord, the eldest princess is invited."
Xie Yanhe's footsteps paused slightly, a pair of peach blossom eyes were crooked, but there was no smile in his eyes.
"Aunt Zhang, grandmother summoned me, I shouldn't have resigned, but I still have to go to the palace, I'm afraid I can only let my grandmother down."
"What did the county lord say, since you have something important, then the slave won't bother you." Aunt Zhang squatted down and saluted, and said goodbye to Xie Yanhe with a smile.
His master has already torn his face with the county lord, no matter whether the county lord gave an excuse or not, Aunt Zhang has no reason to force it to stay.
"County lord, why is Aunt Zhang here to spread the word?" The mandarin duck said suspiciously.
Xie Yan and his long eyelashes narrowed slightly, and his eyes were faint: "Presumably, Aunt Qiu spoke for me that day and was sent to Zhuangzi by my grandmother." ”
The mandarin duck suddenly felt a cold tooth: "The eldest princess is really ruthless." ”
Xie Yanhe chuckled: "Grandmother, this is angry." She wished I was dead. But the more these people want me to die, the more I have to live well. ”
"County lord, you're talking nonsense again, what kind of death and life, children's words are unscrupulous, Bodhisattva must not blame."
Mama Gong came out of the wing, she stepped forward and grabbed Xie Yanhe's arm, and said softly: "Sister Wang went to Lord Wang's house, Mrs. Wang should keep her to talk, the slave maid thought that there was no need to leave the door for Sister Wang tonight." ”
"Mama, I'm going to go to the palace." Xie Yanhe held Mama Gong's hand.
"Enter the palace at this time?" Mama Gong glanced up at the sky, "You go to the palace at this time, can you come out in the evening?" ”
"I have something important to do, and I can't put it off." Xie Yanhe bit his lip, and his glittering peach blossom eyes had the smell of a ruined boat.
Mama Gong had a hint of realization in her heart: "Have you decided?" ”
"Not yet." Xie Yanhe's face was a little more bitter, and at this moment, she was in a dilemma.
"County lord, the old slave has one more mouth, when will you figure it out, and when will you enter the palace again."
Although judging from the experience of Mama Gong, sitting on the position of the middle palace is the best way for the county lord. Hou Ye does not have to be afraid of high achievements and no future. But Mama Gong was even more reluctant to see the county lord forcing herself.
Xie Yanhe pulled his sideburns in the mirror and said lightly: "Don't worry, Mama, he won't do anything to me." ”
……
Since the last time he fell out with Emperor Jianyuan, Xie Yanhe was withdrawn by Emperor Jianyuan from the tokens in the palace, and this time he suddenly asked to see him, so he could only wait at the gate of the palace for the guards to go in layer by layer.
"Is it the sister of the Xie family in the carriage?"
A crisp, sweet female voice came from outside the carriage. Xie Yan and Mingming's eyes narrowed slightly, and the curtain of the car was opened.
I saw a beautiful goose egg face of the girl in the carriage next to her, with long eyebrows and bright eyes, which was unforgettable.
"It turned out to be the younger sister of the Cui family." Xie Yanhe recognized the girl's identity at a glance.
Without him, just because this girl and the Hui Guiren in the palace have a seven-point similarity in their eyebrows and eyes, at a glance, they know that they are the maiden sister of the Hui Guiren, the Cui family Miss and Cui Zisu, who are more than ten years apart from the Hui Guiren.
"Sister Xie, are you going to the palace?" Cui Zisu pursed her lips and smiled, revealing a small and lovely pear vortex on her left cheek.
Xie Yanhe looked at the girl's innocent and bright face, and even the curiosity in her eyes seemed innocent, so that people didn't feel disgusted.
Xie Yanhe replied to the question: "Sister Cui has just come out of Linhua Palace?" ”
"Exactly. My sister had recently contracted a cold, and my mother was getting older, so she asked me to go to the palace to visit my sister on behalf of her old man. Cui Zisu's bright face had a faint trace of worry.
When Xie Yanhe heard this, he said softly: "Sister Cui's filial piety is really admirable. ”
Cui Zisu's amber eyes blinked slightly, and her big watery eyes showed a little shame: "This is Zisu's business." Sister Xie, don't make fun of me. ”
Xie Yan pursed his lips and said with a concerned face: "I don't know if Hui Guiren's body has improved?" ”
"The imperial doctor changed the prescription several times in a row, but my sister's cough was never better." Cui Zisu bit her lip and said in a low tone: "My mother was so worried that I couldn't sleep all night...... Last night, the little maid was careless, and the small half of the window forgot to close, and today the people burned. My father sent someone to inform the palace, and I had to leave my sister's side first and go home to take care of my mother. ”
Xie Yanhe couldn't help but cover his mouth, and exclaimed a little: "The old lady is okay, right?" ”
Cui Zisu rolled a tear in her eyes, with a bit of pitiful charm in her expression, she said sadly: "My mother is old, and she often has three illnesses and four pains, and I can't wait to replace her." ”
Xie Yanhe couldn't help but sigh, and said very sincerely: "Sister Cui is pure filial piety. I hope that Hui Guiren and the old lady will get better soon. I also hope that Sister Cui will take care of her body. ”
"Then I'll borrow the words of the Xie family's sister." Cui Zisu's eyes were red, and she pinched the handkerchief and pressed the corners of her eyes.
While Xie Yanhe was gossiping with Cui Zisu, Feng Ying personally greeted him from the palace gate.
Cui Zisu was stunned when she saw this, her voice was delicate, and she took the initiative to talk to Feng Ying: "Gonggong Feng, why did you come out in person, but what did Your Majesty order?" ”
A slightly unfamiliar voice sounded in his ears, Feng Ying's footsteps stopped, and his gaze towards the carriage of the Marquis of Jingping shifted slightly.
When he saw the girl sitting in the carriage, the surprise in Feng Ying's eyes flashed, and then a trace of understanding floated in his heart, and he said with a smile: "It turns out that Miss Cui Er is also here." ”
After Feng Ying finished speaking, he arched his hand towards Cui Zisu with a proud attitude, and before Cui Zisu could reply, the person had already arrived at Xie Yanhe's carriage.
Different from the casual and perfunctory when facing Cui Zisu, Feng Ying said respectfully: "The slave asks for peace to the county lord of Yonghe, and His Majesty declares that you will go to the Taihe Palace to meet you." ”
Feng Ying, this dog minion! Just because my sister is not favored, even with herself, she is not taken into his eyes!
Cui Zisu was deeply humiliated, a row of glutinous rice teeth were tightly sunk into Yan Fan's lips and flesh, and her face was embarrassed, but she didn't dare to reveal the hatred in her heart.
"Sister Cui, Your Majesty summoned, forgive me for being rude, go first." Xie Yanhe didn't seem to see Feng Ying's very different attitude, and said goodbye to Cui Zisu with a smile.
"Sister Xie's walk slowly." Although Cui Zisu tried his best to hide it, there was still a trace of jealousy and hatred for Xie Yanhe in his eyes.
Seeing this, Xie Yanhe was stunned in his heart, but he nodded quietly in the direction of Cui Zisu, and got out of the carriage with the support of the mandarin duck.
It wasn't until Xie Yanhe sat in the soft sedan chair arranged by the emperor that Cui Zisu smashed the curtain hatefully.
"What a smug! It's just a woman that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't want. Cui Zisu snorted lightly, and her bright face became very distorted because she couldn't hide her jealousy.
The innocence and innocence in her eyes seemed to have met the ice and snow of the sun, and after melting, the dirt underneath was revealed.
Xie Yanhe didn't know that he had provoked another girl's hostility, of course, even if she knew, she wouldn't care much.
With Feng Ying on the side, the soft sedan chair went all the way unimpeded until it reached the door of the Taihe Palace.
Xie Yanhe got off the sedan chair and entered the hall alone.
In the main hall, the two Fushou lotus crane standing copper incense burners at the door are burning with Canaan incense of one or two gold, and the long and narrow crane beak spits out curling white smoke, and there is a fragrant and elegant Buddha incense wafting in the air.
Emperor Jianyuan held a handful of fish food in his hand and was feeding the koi fish in the azure peony flower dragon pattern mouth bowl.
The bright afternoon sun shines through the window, and the golden hall is gilded with a faint glow.
Emperor Jianyuan was bathed in bright light, his handsome and profound facial features floated with mottled light and shadow, the sharp facial features were softened, and a majestic face was a little more soft and warm, like a god who was contaminated with a trace of popularity in the heavenly palace.
Xie Yanhe seemed to be stung by the strong sunlight, and squinted slightly.
She bowed down: "The courtiers see Your Majesty." ”
"Let's be flat." Wei Zhao threw all the remaining fish food into the fish tank, he clapped his hands, and his majestic and sharp gaze seemed to turn into a soft spring breeze when it fell on Xie Yanhe's body, although it was mixed with a light cold, but more so, it was moist warmth.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xie Yan and Ying Ying stood up, their postures as elegant as flowing water.
A chuckle escaped from Wei Zhao's throat, and he said slowly, "I thought you would never enter the palace. ”
Hearing this, Xie Yanhe bit her red and moist cherry lips, she seemed to be hurt by Emperor Jianyuan's words, and said aggrieved and angry: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" Are you laughing at courtiers? If the courtiers get in the way of His Majesty's eyes, they will retire. ”
Wei Zhao stroked his temples with his fingers, and his calm tone was amused: "I just said a joke, but I have attracted a lot of questions from you. Are you so careful? ”
"What if I'm just careful?" Xie Yanhe's eyes gradually turned red, and tears appeared in her peach blossom eyes, "I want to ask Your Majesty, why do you want to crown Chen Yanqing as Cheng Enbo!" ”
Wei Zhao didn't expect Xie Yanhe to say such a rebellious thing, and he didn't know for a moment whether he should feel sorry for her grievances or be angry with her disobedience.
"Do I need your consent? Are you my Shangshu Ling? ”
Emperor Jianyuan looked at him with more than a thousand powers, Xie Yanhe bit her soft lip hard, the tears in her eyes were full of tears, but she always stubbornly refused to get out of her eyes.
"Mianmian, did I let you be so wronged?" Looking at Xie Yanhe's bitten white lips, Wei Zhao couldn't help but soften, and his majestic voice suddenly had a few more wisps of lingering meaning.
"Your Majesty, don't you know that the crown princess can't wait to break my body into ten thousand pieces!" Xie Yanhe raised the back of his hand, his movements were rude and angry, and he wiped his eyes vigorously.
The moment her wide sleeves fell, the charming, slender eyes and tails of her eyes kneaded a touching pink because of her rude movements, like peach blossoms blooming on tender green branches, and the tears rolling out of her eyes were like the crystal dew on the petals, which made people feel heartbeat and infinite pity.
Although Wei Zhao's heart was like a meteorite and as solid as a rock, when facing his beloved woman, Bailian Steel suddenly turned into a finger twister, he came to Xie Yanhe, put his fingers on her shaved shoulder, and said softly: "With me, who dares to touch a hair of yours?" ”
Xie Yanhe's thick eyelashes trembled, she looked at Emperor Jianyuan with a sad gaze, and her delicate and sweet voice was dyed with a hint of sadness: "Your Majesty, my marriage with Li Mu is obviously the Chen family's tricks and feet in secret." The crown princess allowed her mother's family to humiliate me like this, did Your Majesty turn a blind eye? ”
The more Xie Yanhe spoke, the more she felt like falling into an ice cave, and her voice was like crying blood: "Then does Your Majesty know, grandmother...... My grandmother once gave me a cup of poisoned wine......"
Xie Yanhe closed her eyes vigorously, and all her grievances were like a torrent that could not be vented, all of which were accumulated in her chest, making her heart feel like a drop of blood.
"Your Majesty, you can know how helpless I am in the capital alone." Xie Yanhe laughed lowly, the laughter was so sarcastic. Her peach blossom eyes were shining, revealing a faint look of despair, and her voice was extremely sad: "But Your Majesty, you promised your father that you would shelter me forever. But you are the one who hurt me the most! ”
