Chapter Forty-Four: Alone in Cheng'an, the Beauty of the Book of Sacred Decrees
"Courtier, meet the queen."
The Cheng'an Palace was empty, and there were only two people, Empress Rongqi and An Xi.
Yesterday's queen's decree was like a precursor to victory, making An Xi feel that she and Yu Yi'an would soon be able to achieve positive results.
But when she entered the palace today, she found that things were not as smooth as she thought.
The big palace maid beside the queen mother spoke coldly along the way, and An Xi also thought that she was used to being an errand by the queen's mother's side, and it was inevitable that she would be arrogant, and she didn't think much about it.
But the queen had a cold face the moment An Xi stepped into the palace gate, as if she was looking at someone she didn't like very much.
I inevitably muttered in my heart, but I didn't show it.
An Xi maintained a saluting posture and did not move, and the queen mother did not call her up, so she could not be rude.
"This palace used to hear that the eldest lady of the An family is a wild girl who doesn't know how to be polite, and when I see them today, I know that they are jealous, isn't this a good boy who knows how to be polite?"
The queen's voice was gentle and beautiful, with a lot of imperceptible momentum.
"Anxi is incompetent, and the queen mother praises it falsely."
The muscles of the calf beat faintly a few times, but it was not very sore, after all, An Xi's body was used to practicing martial arts all year round, and he would never be unbearable because of this little trick.
It's just that the impression of this queen is indeed a little worse.
At the last autumn night banquet, there were a lot of temptations and methods, which made An Xi very uncomfortable, and now he is making this trick of intrigue among women in the palace, An Xi only feels very bored.
According to the royal secrets told by the mothers-in-law and maids in the family, this queen is not Yu Yi'an's biological mother, but because she is the queen, all the princes and princesses have to call their mothers.
If Concubine Lin hadn't passed away, Yu Yi'an's marriage with her would not have been handled by the queen.
An Xi looked at the gorgeous carpet with short fluff under her feet, and the matter had come to this point, and she was bound to pass her.
Because of her father's identity, no matter which prince is coveting her, but they are all afraid of her - no matter who is tied to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the chance of being made the crown prince will greatly increase.
Except for Yu Yi'an.
An Xi knows that Yu Yi'an has not been favored since he was a child because of his biological mother's embarrassing identity, and even if he is gradually gaining power now, in the eyes of outsiders, it is just self-preservation, so the taboo of An Yi'an's identity is not very valid here for Yu Yi'an.
It is precisely because of this that An Xi knows that the emperor and the empress will marry him to Yu Yi'an no matter what, so as to eliminate the ambitions of other princes and strangle them in the cradle.
The corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking smile, this is royal. What a family love.
"Get up."
Finally, when the queen's fluttering voice came from above her head, An Xi pretended to be relieved and stood up straight, and looked up at the queen boldly.
She wore a smoky purple dress today, with a phoenix head and some amethyst decorations, which looked very luxurious but a little approachable.
Although the queen was born in a famous family, her ancestors were on the border all the year round, and the queen who grew up outside the gate since she was a child lost some delicacy compared to the noblewomen in the capital, but she had more wild beauty, which was incomparable to those pampered noblewomen.
The queen's palace maid moved a comfortable chair for An Xi to sit down and rest, and then made eye contact with the queen and retreated.
"Sit down."
An Xi drank tea with the queen, drinking the best clouds and mist, which was the same as in the prime minister's mansion, and An Xi even suspected that the queen was deliberately testing her.
One is in the main seat, the other is sitting on the side, and both of them seem to be drinking tea intently, silent.
An Xi looked at her nose and nose, felt very embarrassed, and didn't know what to say to ease the atmosphere.
The queen mother gave her a dismount.
"Do you want to marry the Seventh Prince?"
An Xi was in a trance, she really couldn't switch to the straightforward style for a while, the queen's face was thin, her eyes fell on the girl under the steps, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"But it's up to the queen to decide."
Although she knew that the queen mother could not interfere with Yu Yi'an's marriage by herself-the queen's meaning was most likely the emperor's meaning, but the emperor was not suitable to meet the minister's daughter alone, so she asked the queen mother to fight a first battle-but she still had to follow the meaning of flattering the queen, after all, who doesn't want to listen to good words.
didn't show a satisfied look as An Xi expected, the queen just pulled the corners of her mouth mockingly, "You don't need to say that this is a big deal, just tell this palace what you think in your heart." ”
"Yes."
Almost without hesitation, An Xi blurted out that although the queen may not be really so straightforward, if she keeps twisting and pinching and refusing to tell the truth, she will only play official, she believes that the queen will let her know what is really "straightforward".
Sure enough, a smile appeared in the queen's eyes.
"Don't be in a hurry to answer, this palace asks you, do you really want to marry Yu Yi'an? Are you really pleased with him, and don't you covet the position of princess? Isn't it greedy for the riches of the royal family? ”
An Xi almost laughed, her eyes slightly wrapped, staring at the heavy curtain that hung to the ground opposite, where there was a person.
Apparently the Holy One of today.
What wealth does Yu Yi'an have? Didn't he earn everything himself? What does it have to do with this cold-blooded royal family?
But you can't say that unless she's tired of it.
"Naturally, it is deeply rooted in the love for the Seven Princes, and it has nothing to do with anything else."
The smile in the queen's eyes deepened greatly, and the bottomless eyes were almost exactly the same as Yu Yi'an.
Same?
An Xi felt that she was about to grasp some terrible truth, but she saw it disappear without a trace in front of her eyes, her fingernails tightly clasped on the handle of the chair.
Tsk, what's the idea that just flashed into it?
The sound of footsteps coming from behind the curtain pulled Anxi's thoughts back.
I saw the emperor wearing a dark purple satin court robe slowly walking out from behind, with a calm and calm face, as if he was not an eavesdropper.
Removed from the stool and bowed respectfully to the emperor, An Xi knew where Yu Yi'an learned the habits of secretly climbing over the wall and blocking people halfway.
She didn't have a good impression of these parents who didn't do their duty at all, and her heart ached when she thought of Yu Yi'an's year when she didn't have a glimmer of light.
Especially this emperor, he was too ruthless and selfish - An Xi didn't forget that Yu Yi'an kowtowed alive and fainted in the Cheng'an Palace, and his old man never came out to look at his son from beginning to end.
Still ask what is true or false, the eyeliner and secret agents planted by the emperor in the prime minister's mansion have already reported every move of An Xi and Yu Yi'an to the second child, isn't it?
Taking in the rich emotions of the little girl opposite, Emperor Dayu did not feel the slightest displeasure, but just sighed and said: "I am very happy that An'er can have such a confidant. ”
An Xi bowed her head respectfully and pretended to be shy, and before she could quietly roll her eyes in her heart, the emperor's voice came from above her head again.
"But if you two want to get married, there is one condition."
