Chapter 31: Rejecting the Empress
"People are old, no matter how beautiful they are, what's the use." The queen sighed plaintively.
Jiang Liuyu's heart jumped, and she hurriedly bowed her head and replied: "The age cannot be changed, but as long as the queen mother has a vigorous heart, no matter how time passes, the mother will still be the most youthful and young woman." ”
"A young and vigorous heart? How can there be. "The first time the queen heard about it, she thought it was a little novel.
Jiang Liuyu calmed down and raised her head slightly to look at the queen, "The queen can go out every day, enjoy the flowers and tease the birds, or come back to do something she likes." As long as it is something that can make you happy, the mother can try it, so that she will naturally have a young heart. ”
"I've never heard of you before, but it's interesting." The queen asked Mama to put away the cream, and only took Jiang Liuyu's Yuzhi paste in her hand and looked at it carefully.
"What's even more interesting is you girl." The queen's appreciation at this time was more sincere, "When others speak, they are all blind compliments against their will, although you have some flattering intentions, what you say is better than what they say." ”
"This palace appreciates a capable person like you, as a woman, but you can have some means and ambitions." The queen sniffed the jade mushroom paste in the porcelain jar, "Your jade mushroom paste looks ordinary, but it can be so popular outside the capital, which shows your ability." I don't know who will have such a good fortune in the future and marry you home. ”
"The queen mother praised it falsely." Jiang Liuyu was a little happy and a little worried when she was praised, and when she thought of Su Jingye from the queen's words, she couldn't help but be a little shy.
"Bengong has been a little sad lately, but after talking to you today, I feel much better."
Jiang Liuyu looked up at the queen's expression, obviously waiting for her to ask, her heart was bitter, and she asked casually: "I don't know why the queen is bored." ”
"Originally, this matter, you don't have to tell anyone, since you asked, there is nothing to hide, say it, you can help me come up with ideas." The queen happily handed the jade paste to the grandmother beside her, and then lifted her clothes and walked down a few steps.
"You also know that among His Majesty's sons, the crown prince is the most favored by His Majesty, not to mention that he was crowned the prince at a young age, and the people under him are also all talented."
Jiang Liuyu bowed her head and took a step back to make way for the queen, but did not answer.
"According to the current situation, I am afraid that the prince will inherit the throne in the future, but it is a pity that there has been no kind person around the prince to take care of his life and serve the pen and ink."
Hearing this, Jiang Liuyu suddenly felt uneasy, and remained silent in fear.
"Although Bengong is the queen, after all, Bengong is not the biological mother of the prince, and in the future, she will have to live with her nose. So, Bengong thought," as she spoke, the queen suddenly turned around and grabbed Jiang Liuyu's hand, "Since you are so calculating, instead of running some small business outside, it is better to help Bengong, how." When the crown prince succeeds to the throne, the palace will not treat you badly. ”
Help you, help you what, marry the prince? Jiang Liuyu sneered in her heart, and immediately knelt on the ground: "The qualifications of the people's girls are crude, I'm afraid that they don't have the ability to do things with the queen." ”
"You don't have to be so arrogant, how are you, this palace knows in his heart." The queen still wanted to pull her up, but Jiang Liuyu always knelt with her head down, and the queen also knew a little in her heart.
"Niangniang forgives her sins, the folk girl already has a sweetheart in her hometown, and not long ago, her parents agreed, and she has already promised this marriage," Jiang Liuyu deliberately did not mention Su Jingye's name, otherwise it would be more troublesome later.
Soon, the folk girl will retreat to the backyard and teach her husband and children. The queen mother values the people so much, and the people don't dare to hide it, so they have to tell the truth, but they just let down the queen's kindness, and the people really don't want to go. ”
"You've promised to kiss, with whom?" The queen looked at it with a reluctant smile, Jiang Liuyu raised her head, her face was full of panic, "It's the bookkeeper of the people's girl's family, and most of the people in the village know about it." ”
Su Jingye appeared in Xishan Village as a bookkeeper, and had frequent contacts with Jiang Liuyu, even if the queen wanted to send someone to ask, it was estimated that she would not be able to ask anything.
The queen glanced at Jiang Liuyu meaningfully and smiled: "Yes, that's really a pity." ”
Turning around and brushing past Jiang Liuyu, the queen sat back on the main seat, and rubbed her temples as if she had a headache: "Okay, it's not too early for you to enter the palace today, and the palace is also lacking." Xiao Quanzi, send Miss Jiang out. ”
"Queen Xie, the daughter of the people has retired." Jiang Liuyu bowed his head and took a few steps back before he hurriedly followed the little eunuch out.
After she left, the grandmother beside the queen spoke: "Niangniang, this girl is obviously shirking, she is too smart to let go." ”
"Do you think I can't see it," the queen opened her eyes, and her attitude was completely different from before, "She said that the matter of marriage is naturally half-true and half-false, as for who she is with, it must be King Jing." The prospect of the king for her to leave the palace in the middle of the night, do you think you can hide it from me? ”
"Since she has been implicated with King Jing, why don't we add fuel to the fire and add another firewood." As she spoke, the queen's eyes suddenly became fierce.
The little eunuch drove Jiang Liuyu out of the palace, and put the person down on the street, Jiang Liuyu looked back puzzled, and the little eunuch Zhen Zhen said: "Our family has to go back to serve the queen, so we will go back first." ”
Jiang Liuyu wanted to scold angrily, but she still smiled on her face: "It's okay, father-in-law walks slowly." ”
The little eunuch turned his horse's head and entered the palace gate directly, leaving Jiang Liuyu alone to wander on the street.
"It's all here, why don't you bring some gifts back to your parents." Jiang Liuyu sighed and regained her mood. It was already lucky that he was not forced to stay by the queen, and now he was just thrown on the road, which is not a big deal.
After walking around the street a few times, Jiang Liuyu valued a jewelry store with bracelets, tassels, and brushes. Jiang Liuyu rarely saw a shop with such a complete range of goods, and immediately selected a lot of things in it.
"This fan is for my mother, and this jade pendant can be given to my father."
"As for this bundle of hair, it's good for Jingye to wear."
A bunch of things were placed on the counter, the shop owner wrapped the things, Jiang Liuyu was about to pay for him, but the boss said that someone had already paid for it. Jiang Liuyu said that his gaze saw that it was Su Jingye standing at the door.
Jiang Liuyu was pleasantly surprised, ran to Su Jingye's side, and looked at him with a happy face: "Why are you here." ”
Su Jingye rubbed her head, took the big bag of things from her hand, and smiled softly: "I was worried about you, so I came here to take a look." It's okay if you're alright, go home now. ”
