Chapter 267: Listen or Not Listen
Xie Yanhe was full of worries, and he still didn't fall asleep until late at night.
The person on duty tonight is Pearl, and when she heard the movement in the bed, she lit a candle and gently opened the gauze tent with her fingers: "Niangniang, are you unable to sleep?" Do you want a slave to talk to you? β
Xie Yan sat up in her cloak, and under the warm yellow candlelight, the light in her peach blossom eyes seemed to fall into the stars, shining brightly, making people dare not look directly.
"Where's the mandarin duck, haven't you come back yet?"
"Niangniang, Sister Mandarin Duck hasn't come back yet." Pearl poured a cup of warm water and handed it to Xie Yanhe's hand.
Xie Yan and Dai frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously, "Will it be detained by His Majesty?" β
"Mother, the slave thinks you're too worried. Your Majesty cherishes Niangniang, knowing that the most important thing you rely on is Sister Mandarin Duck, how can you still embarrass her. β
Although Pearl also had some doubts in her heart, at this time, she didn't dare to arch the fire on Xie Yanhe's heart. In case the queen mother is angry, she will die and will not be able to atone for her sins.
"At this time, my sister-in-law should be out of the palace. I don't know what year and month it will be next time I see Tao Tao? Xie Yanhe sighed faintly, and his expression could not hide his sadness.
Although she didn't regret falling out with Wei Zhao, she couldn't help but feel a little sad in her eyes when she thought that she would never see Yuxue's lovely niece again.
Seeing this, Pearl hurriedly persuaded: "Niangniang, Your Majesty is in a state of anger now, and when Your Majesty is angry, he will definitely come to apologize to you." β
"You don't have to say these nice things to coax me." Xie Yanhe said lightly: "It's about Jiangshan Sheji, unless I take the initiative to bow my head, otherwise, he won't give me this step." β
Xie Yanhe has now figured out Wei Zhao's temperament, and it is because of this understanding that he is even more disappointed.
"The Queen." A light footstep sounded in the main hall.
Xie Yanhe glanced at the pearl, and the apricot yellow veil on the bed hung down silently, and the soft gauze curtain gently surged like a tide, covering the inside of the bed tightly.
The palace maid named "Sparrow Branch" walked in from behind the screen, and was about to salute, but saw Pearl make a "silence" gesture.
"Niangniang has already rested, what will happen tomorrow."
Pearl lowered her voice and said in a light tone.
Although the finch branch and the pearl are the same six-grade female officials, they dare not take it big in front of the pearl.
The palace people serving in Fengyi Palace all knew that the queen mother trusted the maids she brought from the Hou Mansion more, and trivial tasks such as bathing and grooming were also handed over to these close people.
Therefore, although Sparrow Branch is two years older than Pearl, she still politely calls Pearl "sister".
Bird Branch was afraid of waking up the queen mother, and her voice was inaudible: "Mrs. Jingping is asking to see you outside the palace." β
"Now?" Pearl raised an eyebrow.
She quietly glanced at the inside of the bed tent, and said softly, "Didn't Your Majesty order the Fengyi Palace to be sealed?" Madame Hou is here now, but I am afraid that those guards will not allow her to come in. β
"Sister Pearl, Mrs. Jingping has received His Majesty's approval." Quezhi asked tentatively, "Sister, do you want to wake up the queen mother?" β
"I see, you go down first." There was a hint of surprise in Pearl's eyes, but her face was tense, and she sent the finch away without revealing it.
When the footsteps were far away, Pearl opened the gauze tent and said softly, "Niangniang, did you hear everything?" β
Xie Yanhe bowed her head, a hint of deep thought appeared in her peach blossom eyes, and murmured: "At this time, sister-in-law should have already taken Yu Xiu out of the palace." But now she is outside Fengyi Palace. You said...... Why is that? β
Pearl was embarrassed when she heard this: "You can't guess it, and the slave can't guess it." β
"That's it, come in." Xie Yanhe gathered his sideburns.
The originally quiet hall instantly became lively.
The shimmering dormitory was illuminated by rows of candles lit by the palace people.
On the bronze gilt stand, the candle with the thickness of the child's arm emits a bright light, which reflects the bright light of the fist-sized night pearl, making it impossible to distinguish between heaven and earth.
Xie Yanhe was helped out of bed by the pearl and sat on the chaise longue.
At this time, Wang Qingyun walked into the main hall. The mandarin duck, which had disappeared for a long time, was following Wang Qingyun at the moment.
Xie Yanhe secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his henchman maid was intact.
"Give a seat."
Maybe there are many people in the palace who praise the high and step on the low, but here in Fengyi Palace, Xie Yanhe has absolute authority.
Even if the saint ordered the palace to be sealed, these bright-hearted palace people still did not dare to snub this young and beautiful queen mother.
The slaves and maids who can serve in Fengyi Palace have all gone through extremely strict layers of screening, and they have long been trained to have a pair of vicious eyes.
Although His Majesty left in anger, anyone with a discerning eye could see that His Majesty was more like a desert fleeing in anger and shame.
This emperor, whose martial arts are enough to go down in history, is just an ordinary man in front of the queen, and he is also fascinated by the queen.
Therefore, as soon as the queen's voice fell, the palace people silently moved a soft couch and poured a refreshing strong tea, not daring to slack off Mrs. Jingpinghou.
Seeing this, Wang Qingyun felt a little relieved for a while.
These palace people were all sent by His Majesty, and His Majesty's attitude can be seen from them.
It doesn't matter, it's a matter of self-explanatory.
It's not that the sister-in-law can't see it, but she can't get around that corner.
"Let's all go down, this palace and Mrs. Hou don't need to be served here."
His sister-in-law obviously had something to say, so Xie Yanhe commanded.
After the palace people retreated, the composure and calmness in Wang Qingyun's expression disappeared in an instant.
She looked like she hated iron but not steel, and said to Xie Yanhe in a low voice: "Little sister, why are you confused." Your Majesty is the king of a country, and you are the one who is on the needle with him, and it is you who suffers. β
"Sister-in-law, the crown prince wants to kill his father and ascend to the throne, so that His Majesty can forgive, does our Xie family still have a future?" Xie Yanhe heard his sister-in-law's accusation, and he was not angry, but said disheartenedly.
"There's no hope. I think it's you want to left. β
Wang Qingyun patted the back of Xie Yanhe's hand, and his movements were full of comfort.
"The son wants to rebel against Lao Tzu. What father can tolerate him? Your Majesty doesn't care about it now, it doesn't mean that you won't settle accounts after the fall. You are smart, why are you stupid now? β
It is said that "one pregnancy is stupid for three years", and the sister-in-law can't even understand such a simple truth, but she is stupid.
Xie Yanhe shook his head and said softly, "Sister-in-law, I'm afraid." β
"Good sister, what are you afraid of? This baby bump in your belly is our Xie family's Dinghai Divine Needle. β
Wang Qingyun moved to Xie Yanhe's chaise longue and sat down, hugged the person in his arms, and comforted him gently.
Xie Yanhe's peach blossom eyes had a look of confusion, and in front of her mother's family, she said the doubts in her heart without reservation.
"Sister-in-law, Your Majesty deliberately kept the old department of the prince, just to be a whetstone for the prince. I'm afraid that one day the Xie family will end up in the same way. β
Wang Qingyun was stunned for a moment, and then said with a low smile: "You are worrying about the sky." It's good that Your Majesty wants to use those rebellious ministers and thieves to sharpen the crown prince. But now, the crown prince has become the knife held by the prince's old department, and the tip of the knife is still facing His Majesty. β
Wang Qingyun sighed faintly, but this sigh was full of schadenfreude, she snorted: "Wait, don't fight, wait for the dragon melon in your belly to ripen, and you will win half of it." β
Xie Yanhe's expression didn't show much relief, and her tone was light: "The Emperor's Mind Technique, I have already learned it." Don't dare to be so naΓ―ve anymore. β
"I'm talking to a child again." Wang Qingyun said angrily, "If you still have a sister-in-law and the Xie family in your eyes, listen to me once." β
Xie Yanhe was keenly aware of the hidden meaning in Wang Qingyun's words, her eyebrows couldn't help frowning, and the different color in her peach blossom eyes flashed.
"Did the mandarin ducks tell my sister-in-law?"
"Don't blame her. This girl is also the protector of the heart. Wang Qingyunyuan didn't want to hide it from her, so she simply said it.
She changed her gentle attitude and said in a deep voice: "Cui Fuyao is there, don't act rashly." If Your Majesty knows about it...... Your Majesty may not be willing to punish you. But your brother must not be angered. β
Wang Qingyun knows best how to grasp Xie Yanhe's weakness.
Sure enough, Xie Yanhe's face changed greatly, she bit her lip, on a beautiful face, her mind changed, and after a while, she reluctantly compromised: "Regarding the matter of contacting Cui Fuyao, I want to be left, I listen to my sister-in-law." β
Wang Qingyun dispelled Xie Yanhe's thoughts in just a few words, and a trace of unreality arose in his heart.
She looked at the person beside her suspiciously, and saw that she really couldn't see anything, so she had to ask: "You tell your sister-in-law the truth, have you contacted Cui Fuyao?" β
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I won't hide it from you in this matter without knowing the severity."
Xie Yanhe was suspicious, even if he was the closest and most trusted person, he still showed a trace of displeasure.
Wang Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief and apologized to her: "It's my sister-in-law's villain's heart, my sister shouldn't worry about me." β
"We are a family, sister-in-law doesn't have to be like this." Xie Yanhe slowed down.
Wang Qingyun saw that she was not in a bad mood, so she hit the railway while it was hot: "Sister, the family doesn't talk to each other, and my sister-in-law only asks you one word, do you listen to your sister-in-law's persuasion?" β
β¦β¦
After Wang Qingyun left, Xie Yan and a person sat in front of the dresser for a long time.
In the delicate crystal mirror, a face that has fallen over the city and the country is reflected, but in the eyes of the peach blossoms that are full of affection, there is a strong self-deprecation at this moment.
In the middle of the night, Xie Yanhe picked up the rhino horn comb on the table and gently combed the three thousand green silks like a black waterfall......
The mandarin duck knew that he was guilty, and after leaving Mrs. Jingping, he knelt in the hall until he heard a voice in his ear, "Get up." She endured her aching knees and stood up from the ground.
"Now there is not even a bottle of safflower oil in Fengyi Palace, and when it is dawn, you let Pearl hold it and go to the Imperial Doctor's Office to take medicine...... Don't think about it, I'm afraid you'll miss an errand. β
Xie Yanhe added, "There are no silver three hundred taels here".
The mandarin duck knew that the queen mother was very soft-hearted, and said gratefully: "Thank you for your leniency, slave." β
Xie Yanhe snorted lightly and inserted a brilliant gemstone flower into his hair.
She put on her cloak and commanded Cherry, "Go and talk to the guards outside the palace, and say that there is something in the palace that asks to see Your Majesty." β
