Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Storm Will Change Its Tone
"The courtiers only hope that there is no place for the need for a mother in their lives." Xiao Qi stood up and looked at Ruoyan's eyes full of hostility, "If you don't need Niangniang, then it means that Brother Sheng is all right." β
Ruoyan was so choked by her that she couldn't speak.
After Xiao Qi left, Ruoyan drank a few cups of tea and said that she was going to sleep. Xue Ying and Ling Yin looked at Ruoyan and didn't dare to disturb them if they were in a bad mood.
Who knew that at this time, a little eunuch hurriedly ran in: "Niangniang, Niangniang, it's not good!" β
Ling Yin looked at Ruoyan as soon as he fell asleep, and the little eunuch was afraid that he would wake people up again, and couldn't help frowning: "What are you doing in a panic?" Niangniang just fell asleep, why are you in such a hurry? β
"It's the second miss of the Xiao family! Aunt Ling Yin, when Miss Xiao Er went out of the palace, she met King Yu and his wife, Princess Yu brought her sister to ask for the emperor's favor, saying that Miss Feng Er was old and fell in love with Niangniang's brother, so she wanted to marry! Miss Xiao Er somehow said that she collided with the second miss of the Feng family. β
"Crash and crash. What's tight. The Xiao family has a book, and Miss Xiao Er is the wife of the prime minister, what kind of mess can happen? Ling Yin frowned, "Niangniang just fell asleep, how bold are you to wake up Niangniang for such a thing." β
"Yes...... But today, King Yu and his wife are also there, and it is disrespectful to insist on saying that Miss Xiao Er. Let's go check it out! The little eunuch was in a hurry.
"Ling Yin, you go with the main palace." Ruoyan had already gotten up and come out, and she took the cloak handed over by the palace people and put it on.
Ling Yin couldn't say anything, and followed behind Ruoyan.
"Do you think there's something wrong with the mother?" Ling Yin looked at Ruoyan with a serious expression, and also sensed that something was wrong.
"The second lady of the Xiao family was passed into the palace by me, if something happens to her in the palace, who do you think is to blame for this?" Ruoyan frowned, "Besides, why did Miss Feng Er fall in love with her brother, don't you think it's strange?" β
"Grandpa has only been back for a few months, it stands to reason that Miss Feng Er has always been out of the door, why did she suddenly fall in love with Grandpa?" The snow warbler knew that there was something wrong with it.
"Ling Yin, you go back to accompany Mama Du."
"Mother, this is?" Ling Yin was a little stunned.
"Miss Feng Er has a crush on Your Majesty." The snow warbler suddenly reacted.
"Be quiet, I'm just guessing." Ruoyan pursed her lips, "It's just that why she wants to embarrass Xiao Qi, I don't understand." β
When Ling Yin heard this, he immediately hurried back to Jiaofang Palace.
When Ruoyan arrived at the imperial study, he only heard Li Yizhe ordering people to slap Xiao Qi's mouth. Ruoyan immediately pushed the door in, only to see that the little eunuch's hand had been raised, Ruoyan didn't have time to think, and she received that slap for Xiao Qi.
For a while, everyone in the room was stunned.
Xiao Qi was even more stunned, but after being stunned, she seemed to see a dependent, and hugged Ruoyan and cried.
"I don't know what Miss Xiao Er did wrong? Your Majesty wants people to beat the bride who will be married the day after tomorrow. The person was invited by the concubine, but he was beaten in the palace, where does His Majesty want to put the concubine? Ruoyan looked at Li Yizhe coldly.
Li Yizhe coughed lightly, and was about to talk, but the girl in pink opened her mouth: "Miss Xiao Er is disrespectful, saying that the courtier's daughter has a fox face." The courtier's anger was just a few words of reasoning with her. It is the fault of the courtiers that the mother is affected. β
Ruoyan made a look and asked Xue Ying to take Xiao Qi aside and sit down, stood up and snorted coldly: "In this way, this is the second lady of the Feng family?" The father of the second lady of the Xiao family is higher than your father. Regardless of anything else, the quarrel between the two of you is just an ordinary daughter's quarrel, and it is not uncommon for the quarrel to come to Your Majesty. β
"It's no wonder that my Feng family has been scholarly for generations, and my Feng family's daughter is so insulted that she always wants to ask for an explanation." Feng Changle opened his mouth to excuse his sister.
"What does the princess mean is that the daughters of the whole world are not as noble as the daughters of your Feng family?" Ruoyan raised an eyebrow.
"Sister feels sorry for the courtiers being slandered like this, the mother is generous, and the courtiers have no such intentions." Feng Changge knelt on the ground with a docile look.
"That being the case, this palace wants to hear what the second lady said in front of His Majesty, so that His Majesty wants to beat a girl who is about to get married." Ruoyan sat down on the chair by herself.
"Ah Yan, this matter ...... Forget it...... I am just a momentary mood. You're not happy. Li Yizhe wanted to persuade her, "I'll go to your palace to accompany you after I finish approving the excerpts, okay?" β
"No need." Ruoyan took a sip of the tea handed over by Gonggong Lin and snorted coldly, "Miss Fenger's grievance is a grievance, and Miss Xiao Er's crying like that in the arms of her concubine is not a grievance?" Isn't a concubine wronged if she gets slapped in the face? Zuo is just a matter of a few words in the daughter's family, which can make His Majesty angry. It turned out that the concubine was meddling in her affairs, but now His Majesty is afraid that he has become Miss Feng Er. Why go to the concubine to be angry again? β
"Ah Yan!" Li Yizhe was a little angry.
"Xueying, send someone to send Miss Xiao Er back. Let Ling Yin pack up her things and return to the palace to live in the palace. Jiaofang Palace gave it to Miss Feng Er. Ruoyan stood up and walked out.
Li Yizhe was so angry that his teeth itched: "What do you mean by this?" β
If you don't reply: "Miss Feng Er was wronged by a slap in the face of the concubine, Your Majesty is a concubine, why should the concubine be a concubine." β
When Li Yizhe came back to his senses, Ruoyan had already gone far away.
"You all go back." Li Yizhe's face was already extremely ugly, and after King Yu and his wife and Feng Changge left, Li Yizhe lifted the table and rushed out, and hurried to Jiaofang Palace.
As soon as he entered the palace gate, he said loudly: "Ah Yan, I warn you, this Jiaofang Palace will never allow you to give it to anyone!" β
"Xueying, did you take my hundred-feathered neon dress? My brother gave me money in exchange. And my dowry list and savings, all of which are ready. Ruoyan didn't seem to hear it, holding her stomach and staring at them to pack her luggage.
"Pack up!" Li Yizhe went in and watched them pack up their things there and trembled with anger, "Put them all down." β
"Everything is in the box, and some of them I will use when I go back to the government at night." Ruoyan sat on the beauty couch as if she didn't care at all, as if Li Yizhe was angry.
"Ah Yan, don't make trouble." Li Yizhe's face was as black as charcoal, and his phoenix eyes were full of suppressed anger.
"You go out first." Ruoyan waved his hand and motioned for the others to go down first.
"I'm jealous." Ruoyan had no head and no brains to throw such a sentence to Li Yizhe.
Li Yizhe was stunned for a moment: "What did you say?" β
"You care about other women." Ruoyan raised his eyes and glanced at him.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I never again." Li Yizhe's anger came and went quickly, "Today's incident is really ...... Nowadays, many of the officials in the court are protΓ©gΓ©s of the Feng family. Both of their daughters said they were going to beat ...... I ...... too."
"I'm hungry." Ruoyan ignored him.
"Lin Shengnian, pass on the meal!" Li Yizhe immediately shouted loudly outside.
After eating, Li Yizhe personally put medicine on Ruoyan's face, and rested in Ruoyan's room at night. Li Yizhe didn't tell her the truth. In fact, Li Yizhe didn't say that she also guessed something, so Feng Changge was afraid that he had a lot of friendship with Li Yizhe. He didn't say anything except Feng Changge interjecting him, and his protection of Feng Changge could also see his attitude towards Feng Changge. If you want to ask for marriage, Feng Changge doesn't have to come in person, I'm afraid there is something she doesn't know.
She sighed in a low voice, afraid that the sky was about to change.
The next morning, after Li Yizhe went to court, Ruoyan wrote a letter to Yun Ting and sent it out. She thought that the clouds might tell her what she didn't know.
The letter was sent back by a little palace maid who couldn't remember her face after looking at it thousands of times. Ruoyan rejected the letter from the palace.
Yunting's reply was very succinct, but it was just one line:
"Belong to the back position, read with childhood. Sister Ann. β
The little palace maid handed her the letter and whispered, "Miss Xiao was beaten for the sake of her mother." β
If Yan couldn't guess why Feng Changge wanted to embarrass Xiao Qi, now he understood.
I'm afraid that Xiao Qi shouldn't have listened to it, and wanted to tell her that Li Yizhe and those who wanted her to keep it secret, and she suffered such a crime because she didn't follow it.
"The girl is my brother's man. I don't think I'm from the palace. If you are so troublesome, I hope that he will take me out of the palace, and I must not make Your Majesty suspicious. There are some things I need to tell him face to face. Ruoyan smiled and said a word to the little palace maid.
The appearance of this little palace maid is supposed to be an existence like a secret guard, and she will never be a person in the palace. And there is also a cloud mark on her wrist, which is a mark only owned by the Yun family's secret guards. It made Ruoyan deepen her guess.
"The slave understands."
Sister's longevity lock, she should give it to her brother. That thing was in her hands, and she was afraid that it would be remembered. If she guessed correctly, it should be the key to the Yun family's treasure.
Meng Zhaoyi came running with medicine in the morning. Although the palm print on Ruoyan's face had faded, Meng Zhaoyi was still distressed when she looked at it.
"If your sister sees you suffering such grievances now, I am afraid that she will be distressed to death." Meng Zhaoyi gently drugged her and sighed.
"But Sister can't see it." Ruoyan lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly.
"Well, your brother will always protect you. When you were a child, the whole Chang'an City was rumored that your brother was a sister maniac and could do anything for you. You'll have fought with Your Majesty. β
"Why haven't I heard of this?" Ruoyan raised her eyes with interest.
"It was said that His Majesty wanted to go to the Guogong Mansion to see how tall you had grown, and he felt that His Majesty had started your idea, so he fought with His Majesty in a fit of anger. You're only five years old, so what can you do? Your brother is just too nervous. It's just that not many people know about this, and your sister told me about it. Meng Zhaoyi said with a smile.
"My brother and sister have always loved me, and my brother fought for me when he was a child, but I didn't know about it." Ruoyan smiled, as if she had returned to her childhood.
"Your sister said that he beat the young master of the Huaiyang Hou family, the sister-in-law of the two Shangshu families, the son of the Changmin family, and the eldest prince and the county lord of Ting'an. There are many more that I can't remember, whether it's a man or a woman, as long as you provoke you, he will always get revenge. Meng Zhaoyi laughed, "It can be seen how bold your brother is." Now that he's back, he won't let you be wronged again. β
"Hopefully." Ruoyan only laughed lightly, "Now my brother has a lot of difficulties, and I also hope that I can help him." β
"It's good if you have this heart, he can't be tired of being a brother and you can't plan for him."
"I always feel that when my brother comes back this time, there will be no less danger." Ruoyan looked out the door and sighed.
