Chapter 258: An Explanation
Li Xin'er was originally a cranky master, and now she knows that Lin Yue has been one step ahead of her and lives in the East Palace, so that she, who is already suffering from gains and losses for His Royal Highness the Prince, first suspects that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not fond of her, and is worried that Lin Yue has a plan, especially the position of the concubine in the East Palace.
Li Xin'er looked out the window and became clear-headed, "At this moment, Daddy should go down to court, right?" ”
Lian'er also looked at the sky outside the window, "Miss, it's not there yet, look at the sky outside, there is still half an hour or so." ”
"Let's go, let's go to pick up my father and go to the court, and at the same time, I may not have gone to the queen for a long time to say goodbye, and now I miss it very much." Li Xin'er was holding a silver hairpin tightly in her hand, her eyes didn't know where to look, there was a bottomless abyss inside, and she was already planning something in her heart.
"Okay, Lian'er, then dress up Miss."
Prime Minister Li Cheng was originally a powerful person, his home was not far from the palace, and he could only reach it by taking a walk, Li Xin'er specially instructed Lian'er to dress up today's makeup, everything was simple, and he took a carriage to the palace gate, the road was bumpy, and the hair that was originally combed high fell a few points, and with her plain dress today, it invisibly increased a lot of pitiful feelings.
Li Xin'er had just set a wedding date with His Royal Highness the Prince, and everyone wanted to be tight, and naturally no one dared to stop her by the guards at the palace gate, but there was an order in the palace that all foreign carriages were not allowed to enter, and Li Xin'er still got out of the sedan chair and walked inside.
"When you get to the queen's palace in a while, remember to look at my eyes and act, don't embarrass me." Before going to the middle palace of the queen's mother, Li Xin'er put her ear close to Lian'er and gave a few instructions.
Lian'er pursed her lips knowingly and smiled, "The slave knows." ”
Although the queen doesn't like Li Xin'er, she thinks that Li Xin'er is smart enough and has a lot of ghost ideas, but she likes her father's status in the court, and for many things, she just turns a blind eye to many things, Lin Yue went to the East Palace the first night, and Li Xin'er came to greet her the next day, which she still understands.
"Yo, my daughter-in-law, come and come, it's all a family, come and sit next to the palace." When Li Xin'er entered the inner hall, the queen mother changed her smiling face, not only that, but she also took a few steps forward, took Li Xin'er's hand, and pulled her to her soft couch affectionately.
"Queen Mother, it's the son's fault, I originally came to greet you earlier, but that day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to meet in the Tai Sui Pavilion, and I suffered some wind and cold, and I went back and rested for several days before recovering." Li Xin'er, a queen mother called out, the queen's body was obviously stiff, and now it has not yet reached the official canonization ceremony, Li Xin'er changed her words, and she changed too quickly.
"It's okay, but you have to pay attention to your body, you see that the frost has fallen outside, why are you still wearing such thin clothes? Look at your little hands, they are also cold. The queen gently rubbed Li Xin'er's palm, her eyes were full of elders, love and pity for the younger ones.
Li Xin'er paused, and then there were tears rolling in her eyes, plus she walked in from outside the palace gate, and her little face was red from the cold wind at the moment, she didn't need to speak, she was already telling others that she had been wronged.
"What's going on? I was fine when I entered the door just now, but why are I crying now? Tell the queen mother, what's going on? "The queen mother, although she knows it very well in her heart, but in order to get by on the face, she still plays a lot of small tricks.
"The queen mother, the son was wronged, and he couldn't hold back for a while, and he actually cried in the queen mother's palace, which was really unseemly." Li Xin'er stretched out her hand to wipe her tears, but it was a bigger tear stain, her originally long eyelashes were soaked with tears, and they were soft and sticky to her eyelids, she wanted to speak and stopped, lowered her head, and looked at Lian'er who was standing in the corner.
However, he immediately understood what his master meant, so he mustered up the courage to step forward, bow to the queen, and then learn the crying tone of his master
"Queen, Miss...... Miss is single-minded, only for His Royal Highness, but I don't know why, there are often rumors in the market, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes Miss Lin Yue, once or twice is fine, this rumor is like grass that has taken root, how can it not be removed? Just now, on the way you accompanied Miss into the palace, many people's chats fell into Miss's ears, and Miss should be sad and crying for these things. ”
The queen mother, naturally understood that Li Xin'er came to ask him for an explanation today, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did such a thing, which made her feel a little embarrassed, but she thought that Li Xin'er did not have the bearing to be born as a princess at all, Lin Yue had a child in her belly, how to say that it was also for the royal expenses, what about Li Xin'er? In his eyes, he can't tolerate others, if the prince inherits the throne in the future, there are six palace concubines, and countless beauties.
But at this time, Li Xin'er is stuck in the eyes of the knot who wants to marry His Royal Highness the Prince, if she doesn't coax her, she has to coax her father, who is an official in the court, the explanation of the matter, she should still give it, this matter was originally what the emperor should do, but taking into account the problem of royal face, the emperor also had a push, and she stepped forward to deal with it.
The queen mother pondered in her heart for a while, and slowly asked, "Then what gossip did you hear on the road?" ”
Lian'er spoke, "Slave maid...... The slave didn't dare to say it. ”
"This palace allows you to say it." The queen lowered her eyebrows.
"The people on the road saw that it was the carriage of the Li Mansion, and they didn't know where they got the news? It is said that Lord Shuo has already suspected the child of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and has already lived in the East Palace. The more she talked about the back, the quieter Lian'er's voice became.
The queen looked at Lian'er, looked at Li Xin'er, who was still sobbing in a low voice, and took Li Xin'er's hand lovingly, "It's no wonder that they said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really did such a foolish thing." ”
"That'...... Does Your Highness not like Xin'er? How can you have a child with another woman before you get married to your heart? Li Xin'er didn't expect the queen mother to admit that there was a moment of confusion.
"It's a long story, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is definitely not what you think, he is ruthless to Lin Yue, but he was seduced by Lin Yue a few months ago, and let her live in the East Palace, which is what the emperor meant." The queen took out her hand towel and wiped away the tears on Li Xin'er's face little by little.
After a long time, he added, "I know that you are wronged in your heart, but in your heart, as women of the dynasty, we should be generous, not to mention that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already an adult, that is, in addition to you, it is normal for him to accept a few more concubines." ”
