Chapter 289: Purpose
Updated: >
To say that Li Yanxu, who is sitting in the flower hall at the moment, is really an ant on the hot pot, and he can't sit comfortably. He wasn't a talker in the first place, and he didn't have so many twists and turns in his stomach. He always felt that Lan Shikang had an ulterior motive for asking people to summon Jiang Qinghua into the palace this time.
But my father is still on duty, and my mother is a cowardly and careless person. If I let my mother know, I might come up with something messy. After all, only him and Jiang Qinghua can afford the scene.
But even if there is an emergency, there is no reason why the visitors are still in the flower hall, and the two masters have run out and disappeared. Not to mention whether it can be passable in terms of etiquette, but Lan Shikang should be displeased.
I drank one sip after another of the tea, and the tea was so light in my mouth that it tasted good. Just when Li Yanxu hesitated to think of an explanation and sneaked back into the room, Jiang Qinghua returned to the flower hall with a smile on his face, and the four maids behind him had become two, and they all held bags in their hands, looking like they were really going back to pack and change clothes.
Jiang Qinghua confessed his guilt to Zhang Gong, then walked in front of Li Yanxu, blessed himself and said: "Husband, in the past few days since the concubine left, Lao Fujun will take care of the trivial matters in the family." When the concubine returned to the room just now, she had already explained in detail that even the maids were by their side, and they followed the concubine on weekdays, and they should be able to use it under the influence of their ears and eyes. If there is anything important about the husband, you might as well ask them. ”
Li Yanxu saw that Jiang Qinghua had arranged everything properly, and if he had anything to say to him, he should have already explained to the two maids, so he nodded, took Jiang Qinghua's hand, and said, "After all, the palace is no better than being at home, you take care of yourself." ”
What will happen in the palace now, no one knows. Jiang Qinghua went to teach the new queen etiquette rules, and naturally stayed in the harem. There are very few men who can enter there, not to mention that Li Yanxu doesn't even have a reason to enter the palace. So everything, can only rely on Jiang Qinghua to be careful.
The look on Jiang Qinghua's face was slightly moved, it was not a bad day to respect each other, but it was not at all like the husband and wife she thought. It is rare that Li Yanxu will take the initiative to hold her hand, and she can't help but be moved.
The smile on his face deepened by three points, Jiang Qinghua turned to look at Zhang Gonggong and said, "Father-in-law, let's go now"
Gonggong Zhang nodded, stretched out his hand to greet several Praetorian Guards who came with him, and after a slight salute with Li Yanxu, he turned around and stepped out of the flower hall. Jiang Qinghua glanced back at Li Yanxu, smiled soothingly, and left with Gonggong Zhang.
Seeing that the person was gone, Li Yanxu hurried back to Jiang Qinghua's bedroom, and the two maids who were left behind greeted him, and after saluting, he took out a letter from the makeup box and handed it to Li Yanxu.
There was nothing else in my heart but some reassuring words. Let Li Yanxu not be too anxious, wait for his father-in-law to come back at home, and then discuss together. Now there is no need to tell my mother-in-law about this, and her old people in the province are upset together.
A few words, but all the people have been taken into account. Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous man, after so many years of husband and wife, Li Yanxu is not without affection for Jiang Qinghua, not to mention that Jiang Qinghua knows that he has someone in his heart in the past, but he still manages all the trivial matters at home without regrets, Li Yanxu's feelings for Jiang Qinghua are not only guilty, but also some of the feelings he has not had until now.
It is said that after Jiang Qinghua entered the palace, he went all the way to the queen's bedroom, Fengchao Palace. She hadn't been to this place since she sent her aunt to the Imperial Mausoleum. The pavilions and pavilions are still the same, and the furnishings have not been disturbed, but they just give her a feeling, but they are completely unfamiliar.
After a slight freshening of the side hall of the Fengchao Palace, a palace maid came: "After the emperor asked Grandma Li to freshen up, she went to the imperial study." ”
Jiang Qinghua was slightly stunned, she didn't expect to see the emperor as soon as she entered the palace, what taught the queen etiquette, what was familiar with the rules of the palace, she never believed that this was the reason why she entered the palace. But what the hell is, she hasn't guessed until now. It's just that she is the fourth lady of the mighty marquis, even if the emperor wants to do something to her, he should be afraid of her background, so she entered the palace so senselessly.
It's just that if she knew that Jiang Ronghua's wedding day would be such a scene, then even if she was suspected by the emperor, no matter if she didn't obey the emperor's instructions, no matter what, she would not enter the palace this time.
Jiang Qinghua pressed the Zhu Hai on his head, nodded to the palace maid, and then took the two maids towards the imperial study.
"Since the death of the first queen, Miss Jiang Si has not entered the palace for a long time." Lan Shikang waved his hand to the eunuch standing at the door, and then two people moved the chair behind Jiang Qinghua.
Jiang Qinghua was slightly stunned by the title of "Miss Jiang Si", but reacted after a moment. blessed the body and said, "Thank you emperor." Careful in words and deeds, Jiang Qinghua adhered to the principle of saying more and making more mistakes, and after blessing himself, he sat down carefully and properly on the chair, looking like he was bowing his head and lowering his eyes.
Lan Shikang raised his eyebrows, looked at Jiang Qinghua and said: "After Ruyue died, only me and you are really sad, and it is difficult for you to have the heart to guard her soul that night, and personally help the coffin into the mausoleum in the morning, I see it in my eyes." ”
It's really sad that my aunt's bones are not cold at this time, if the emperor is really sad, why is he so eager to let Rong Hua enter the palace and the two aunts and nieces serve the same generation of kings, what they say is a good story; It's not nice to say, but the emperor only treats his aunt as the link between him and the mighty marquis mansion. This is the meaning of ridicule on the face of the sad Jiang Qinghua with his head down.
Although I thought so in my heart, I didn't dare to show it on my face. Jiang Qinghua hurriedly got up when he heard this, blessed his body again, and said: "My aunt has no children under her, and she loves her concubine the most on weekdays. Now that my aunt is gone, the concubine is dressed in linen and filial piety, which is also right. Jiang Qinghua paused and continued: "The concubine's father and aunt are the same mother, and my grandfather has been partial to my aunt since he was a child, and after my aunt left, they were all sad, but they were all men, and it was not as good as a concubine to be such a young daughter, which made the emperor laugh." ”
Lan Shikang sighed almost inaudibly, looked at Jiang Qinghua's still saluting appearance, and said: "I don't have any children under my knees, your aunt loves you like a daughter, and you are like my children." What you used to look like in front of your aunt, now you look like in front of me, don't be too restrained, sit back and talk."
"Yes, the concubine obeys." Jiang Qinghua returned to the chair behind him and sat down, but he still looked like he was bowing his eyebrows. She had already made up her mind that whatever the emperor said, it would be. She is going to make the beads on the abacus, dial it, and move it, it is best for the emperor to see if she is not smart, and let her go home directly.
"Your aunt has always been in good health, but poor jealousy and red face let her encounter such a thing, and she lost her life for me. I have been married to her for many years, and even Xie Danniang's son can't be compared. Without her by my side, I am very sad, and now I am the only one struggling in this world. Lan Shikang's sad face was revealed, and his words sounded like true feelings, which showed that the love between husband and wife was indeed there.
It's just that Jiang Qinghua was stunned when he heard this, what does it mean to cut off a life for the emperor, didn't my aunt die of a sudden illness, how could it be for the death of the emperor's aunt, is there still a hidden aunt, what happened to the aunt Jiang Qinghua raised his head suddenly, and looked at Lan Shikang with doubts and puzzles in his eyes.
Lan Shikang's hand stroked his forehead, and the whole person was hidden in sorrow, but in the place where Jiang Qinghua didn't see it, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he was fooled
Looking up again, the corners of Lan Shikang's hooked mouth had been smoothed, as if he understood the meaning in Jiang Qinghua's eyes, shook his head slightly, and said: "Actually, I shouldn't have told you, it's just that you are so sincere to your aunt, if I don't tell you the truth, I think I will go underground and see your aunt in the future, but I can't explain it." ”
Lan Shikang paused for a moment, as if sorting out his excessive sadness: "In the year of the emperor's death, Prince Luo's faction wanted to seek to usurp the throne and was killed on the spot. I originally wanted to keep Prince Luo's son in his bloodline and spare him from dying. But he never thought that he was bent on revenge. When the palace was surrounded and suppressed, he escaped from the palace with the help of your husband Li Yanxu, and you also know about it. ”
Speaking of this, Lan Shikang looked at Jiang Qinghua, and the blame was not concealed at all. Indeed, if it weren't for Jiang Qinghua and Li Yanxu having a marriage contract, and having Jiang Laohou and Jiang Ruyue as guarantees, Li Yanxu's fate would have been a dead end.
"If it weren't for that day, your aunt wouldn't have died today" Lan Shikang's understatement was a heavy blow to Jiang Qinghua's heart, and there was a deep guilt in her confused look, although she didn't understand what the reason was, but her aunt's death was caused by Li Yanxu letting go of Prince Luo's son, and she couldn't escape this responsibility.
Then, Lan Shikang told how Xiao Ruo got into the palace, how Prince He Luo took revenge, how he designed Jiang Ruyue to enter the trap and enter the cold palace, and how he inserted Jiang Ruyue's sword into her heart in the dead of night.
"You don't have to feel too sorry for your aunt, I told you about this because I didn't want your aunt to die in vain. Miss Lin San is already in my hands. On the day of the wedding, Prince Luo's son will come to save her, I let you enter the palace, just to hope that you will take good care of her for me, don't let the person who killed your aunt take advantage of the loophole, you understand" Lan Shikang step by step, let Jiang Qinghua be disturbed, and then completely stated his purpose.
