Chapter 356
"Whew! What is Miss Zhang's identity, and how can she worry about two maidservants? I didn't hear that the prince included them in the room, and she also specially sent someone to send tonic greetings, which made the cultivation of a young lady of the family to the extreme, His Royal Highness King Jing can have such a fiancΓ©e, it is so lucky! β
Everyone talked quietly, and although the voice was deliberately low, it still reached the ears of Gu Ruoxi and Ziyi.
Gu Ruoxi sighed quietly, and she didn't understand that she was just a big aunt, how could she be spread like this by everyone? It is also said that there are noses and eyes, as if they have seen it with their own eyes! For the whimsy of the common people of the Celestial Empire, she finally understood it.
Ziyi showed a helpless expression to her on the side, who knew that this matter would be spread like this?
But public opinion turned to one side......
Ziyi's eyes flashed, and he decided to wait until he returned home to say something to the prince.
"Two girls, the prince has ordered, please enter the house in a sedan chair." The guards beside the sedan chair ignored the people's discussions, and said respectfully to Gu Ruoxi and Ziyi in the carriage.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions on the faces of the onlookers became even more strange%%@
Jingyue heard this, and was silent for a long time before saying, "Yes, Miss Zhang entered the palace yesterday to see the Queen Mother. β
"Isn't that all there is to it?" Xuanyuan Jingxi smiled coldly and said, "I knew that she would definitely have to talk about the rights and wrongs of others in front of the queen mother, if it weren't for her, how could the queen mother suddenly want to see the blue clothes?" β
"Nope! Rajah! You are mistaken! Jingyue hurriedly said: "Miss Zhang entered the palace several times, and every time she praised the girl in blue in front of the Queen Mother, she was docile and ingenious, and she served the prince properly. β
"Then why would the queen mother still want to see the blue clothes? It has to be today, not in a few days? Xuanyuan Jingxi snorted coldly and asked.
Jing Yue sighed and said: "Lord Wang, the Queen Mother heard that you took the purple clothes into the room, so she specially called her into the palace, thinking that the imperial doctor would take the pulse for her and raise her body better......"
"There is no need for this, this king will never allow the eldest son to appear." Xuanyuan Jingxi said without hesitation: "Aunt Jingyue, please also convey the king's words to the queen mother clearly after you go back!" β
When Jing Yue heard this, she was taken aback: "Lord, don't you go into the palace to visit the Queen Mother?" Gu Ruoxi lay on the bed, holding her breath and listening to the conversation between the two in front of her.
After a long time, Xuanyuan Jingxi continued: "Aunt Jingyue, this king is naturally going to enter the palace to visit the queen mother, but. I'm too tired today, how about going back tomorrow? β
This was reasonable, and Jing Yue couldn't refute it, so she had to say, "Lord Wang, this is naturally okay." The Queen Mother doesn't want you to be so tired and enter the palace. After a pause, she said again: "Lord, can the slave and maid go and see the girl in blue?" If you go back, you can talk back to the Queen Mother. β
"The blue clothes are weak, I have been very tired for the past two days, and I am sleeping at the moment, my aunt will come and see it another day!" Xuanyuan Jingxi said lightly: "When you go back, you will tell the queen mother what the king said, please be considerate of the queen mother." β
Jing Yue was involuntarily taken aback when she heard this. She didn't expect that Xuanyuan Jingxi not only didn't let Lanyi enter the palace, but also didn't even agree to her offer to visit. What does he want to do to protect this servant girl?
Xuanyuan Jingxi seemed to see what she was thinking, and immediately explained: "Aunt Jingyue, after you go back, explain to the queen mother that this king is very fond of blue clothes, but it has not yet reached the point of dizziness, and everything she is worried about will not appear." Please rest assured! This king has his own measure. β
Even if you are measured, when you encounter something in blue, it will be a mess, right? Jingyue couldn't help but think. In this world, there is no servant girl who was invited by the Queen Mother and did not go, and there is no servant girl like the blue coat, who can't even see her, a third-grade female official.
Xuanyuan Jingxi had already issued an order to expel the guest: "Aunt Jingyue, this king will send you out." β
"No, you don't! Rajah! You'd better rest early, and I'll just go back and rest myself. Jing Yue hurriedly said. Just kidding, where did she dare to let Xuanyuan Jingxi send him away? However, her trip was not in vain.
"Lord, it's not as good as this, the Queen Mother hasn't seen the girl in purple for a long time, let her go into the palace to see the Queen Mother today, what do you say?" Jingyue asked.
When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, he frowned and thought for a while, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, then let the purple cloth enter the palace to visit the queen mother on behalf of the king." He said. With a wave of his hand, he summoned the purple clothes from outside.
"Purple clothes, see Aunt Jingyue." As soon as he entered the door, Ziyi bent down and saluted Jingyue.
"Good boy, the coming and going are becoming more and more marked." Jing Yue was still very relieved to see this girl she had cultivated single-handedly, and she stood there and said something to Ziyi at the moment, and then said goodbye to Xuanyuan Jingxi.
After the two of them left the mansion and went to the palace, Xuanyuan Jingxi returned to the inner hall, and sure enough, he saw Gu Ruoxi lying there with his eyes open.
"Are you awake?" Xuanyuan Jingxi walked over. sat down on the edge of the bed, looked at Gu Ruoxi with gentle eyes, and said, "Are you hungry?" β
Gu Ruoxi shook her head and asked, "If you don't ask me to go to the palace, and you don't go yourself, will the Queen Mother be angry?" β
This shows that she listened to all the voices of Xuanyuan Jingxi and Jingyue outside just now, and Xuanyuan Jingxi said disapprovingly: "No, how can the queen mother be angry with me?" "He's spitting up.
"So you're going to be mad at me?" Gu Ruoxi rolled her eyes fiercely.
Xuanyuan Jingxi reached out and stroked her sideburns, and said, "Yes, the queen mother is unhappy in her heart, but this is not something that can be resolved in a while, and I don't want to lie to you, but you believe me, I won't put you in danger." β
This smacks of an oath. Gu Ruoxi raised her eyes and looked at Xuanyuan Jingxi's solemn appearance, her heart suddenly warmed, but she said stiffly: "But the Queen Mother wants to see me, even if she doesn't go now, she will see me in the future, and she can hide for a while, but she can't hide for a lifetime." β
"I?" Xuanyuan Jingxi playfully repeated Gu Ruoxi's words, and said with a smile: "If you follow me for a lifetime, you can be counted as a lifetime." β
"Whereever!" Hearing this, Gu Ruoxi rolled his eyes at Xuanyuan Jingxi and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" I'm your sister-in-law, have you forgotten? You put me in that position yourself, and now you say such things, what do you mean? Or is it that you royals are so perverted and incest-like? β
Gu Ruoxi vented the dissatisfaction in her heart, and she actually hated Xuanyuan Jingxi for making herself and the late Prince Min together that day. It's just that these days, she has been immersed in Xuanyuan Jingxi's gentleness and can't extricate herself, until this moment, she can be regarded as thinking of Xuanyuan Jingxi's words.
Xuanyuan Jingxi didn't expect her to lose such a big temper, and she was stunned for a moment.
Gu Ruoxi snorted angrily: "I'll leave in a few days, you won't provoke me in the future!" β
When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, he suddenly cried and laughed, and hurriedly grabbed Gu Ruoxi's hand, looked at her eyes and said: "Please believe me, what I said that day was actually a last resort, and you don't want to marry me, you have to marry that Xu Xian, I don't want to lose you, that's why I made this decision, you definitely can't be Princess Min, you know?" β
"Isn't there a holy decree? In black and white, it has been announced to the world, how can it not be done? Gu Ruoxi asked.
Xuanyuan Jingxi smiled mysteriously, rubbed Gu Ruoxi's palm and said: "Don't worry, the holy decree is just a form, I have a way to make it a waste, you are mine, it was in the past, and it will be in the future!" β
Gu Ruoxi listened to his arrogant appearance, and suddenly smiled: "How do you know that I must be yours?" β
Xuanyuan Jingxi smiled even more happily than her: "What? Do you want me to show you? As he spoke, he made a gesture and kissed Gu Ruoxi's lips.
Gu Ruoxi hurriedly flashed to the side, covered his mouth and said, "You have eaten garlic, stay away from me!" β
Xuanyuan Jingxi was stunned for a moment, and then went to scratch Gu Ruoxi: "I didn't eat it!" You don't bury me! β
"Hahaha!" Gu Ruoxi couldn't help but laugh, and even forgot about the angry things.
Xuanyuan Jingxi smiled when she saw her, but she let out a long breath in her heart, and swore not to talk about this matter in front of Gu Ruoxi in the future, which made her unhappy.
β¦β¦
Zhang Yan returned to the capital to recuperate for a few days and then returned to normal, during which she ran to the palace several times, everyone knew that she was the future princess Jing who was very favored by the Queen Mother, and no one dared to slack off.
On this day, I heard that Xuanyuan Jingxi finally came down from the mountain with his precious maidservant, Zhang Yan couldn't bear to enter the palace immediately, but was stopped by her brother Zhang Chunyi: "Are you afraid that King Jing won't know that you sued Lanyi in front of the Queen Mother?" β
"Brother!" Zhang Yan glared at her eldest brother dissatisfiedly and said, "I've endured it for so many days, how long do you want me to endure it?" That really came down the mountain with the prince, that was the treatment I deserved! If I don't repair her, who in the world will know that I am Princess Jing? β
Indeed, because Xuanyuan Jingxi always protects Gu Ruoxi at the tip of his heart, almost no one in the capital knows the name of Blue Clothes.
Zhang Chunyi glanced at his sister-in-law and said with a headache: "Little sister, what do you always care about these false names?" The higher the fame of the blue clothes, the more dislike the queen mother will be for her, and after a while, she will personally do it to her, what you have to do is not to be jealous, and show the tolerance and kindness of your young lady, let's deal with this trouble without touching the leaves, isn't it good to watch the fire from the other side? β
"But I can't swallow this breath!" Zhang Yan shouted angrily: "I can't wait for her to die immediately!" β
"Cultivation, where is your cultivation!" Zhang Chunyi glared at Zhang Yan and said: "In front of the Queen Mother, you have to hold back, if this face is seen by the Queen Mother, you will die!" β
Zhang Yan didn't speak, but she was obviously still unconvinced, but the arrogance in her eyes was silently extinguished.
Zhang Chunyi sighed deeply and said, "Think about it!" The matter of visiting the Queen Mother will be delayed. So saying, he turned and left. correct
"Big brother, the Queen Mother is my backer and guarantee, I know all this. However, feelings need to be managed, don't they? I'm going to the palace to visit the Queen Mother! Zhang Yan suddenly spoke.
Zhang Chunyi immediately turned around.
"Big brother, don't worry, I will never mention the matter of the blue clothes, I just went into the palace to talk to the Queen Mother, His Royal Highness King Jing did not enter the palace today, I want to come to the Queen Mother's old man's house at this time is the time to be lonely and lonely." Zhang Yan explained.
This is a reasonable statement.
"Do you really, think so?" Zhang Chunyi asked a little suspiciously.
Zhang Yan nodded immediately: "Naturally it's true, big brother, I understand what you said, being reckless can't solve everything, but it makes me disgusted by the Queen Mother, of course I won't do this kind of thing that has a hundred harms but no benefits!" β
When Zhang Chunyi heard this, he was really impressed by Zhang Yan.
So, on the second day after Xuanyuan Jingxi came down from the hunting ground, Zhang Yan dressed up early in the morning and entered the palace in a sedan chair.
With the Queen Mother's dictation, she doesn't need to hand over the sign or anything in advance. You can enter the palace whenever you want, and among the ladies in the capital, there is only one person who has this honor.
This is also where Zhang Yan is most proud.
When the carriage passed through Changrong Avenue and was about to reach the palace gate, a carriage suddenly burst out of the spur, almost colliding with the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion, fortunately the coachman had good skills to avoid the collision of the two cars, but Zhang Yan and Xiaoyue who were sitting in the carriage were not so lucky, the two of them collided with each other in the carriage, and tears of pain came out, not to mention the sideburns scattered and messy.
"How do you drive? I almost threw the young lady down! Wait until you go back to see that the master will not punish you! "As a young lady, Zhang Yan is not good at getting angry directly, and Xiaoyue on the side can't help it. Immediately opened his mouth and scolded the coachman: "Are you stupid? The young lady is going to enter the palace to see the Queen Mother! The makeup is spent, wait for the queen mother to blame, you don't want to live anymore, do you? β
"Miss Xiaoyue, this is not a trivial matter, just now Prime Minister Wang's carriage came out from behind and collided directly with our carriage, if it hadn't disappeared quickly, our carriage would have overturned...... the coachman said aggrievedly.
"What? The carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion? When Xiao Yue heard this, she was taken aback. When I turned around, I saw that my young lady's face had turned iron-blue.
"Miss, the carriage of the Wang family has already entered the palace." The coachman said again.
When Zhang Yan heard that it was Wang Yanfei's carriage that hit her, she was in a very bad mood, and she almost got angry.
The other party has already entered the palace, maybe how to please the Queen Mother! But here she is still sulking alone......
Thinking about it, Zhang Yan temporarily suppressed the anger in her heart, and immediately ordered Xiaoyue: "Hurry! Tell him to park the carriage by the palace gate, and you will touch up my makeup!" β
It can only be like this, Xiao Yue hurriedly responded, whispered a few words, and ordered the coachman to stop the carriage at the side, Ran Hu took out the target mirror rouge and other things, and began to draw eyebrows and phoenixes for Zhang Yan.
They are the servants who serve closely. When I go out, I carry a makeup box and a change of clothes, just in case, Zhang Yan's makeup is spent at this moment, Xiaoyue is used to doing this, and it is simply easy to come by hand, and it didn't take long to tidy it up for her.
"Miss, what do you think?" Satsuki asked.
Zhang Yan looked left and right with the target lens with extremely critical eyes, and nodded with satisfaction after a while: "Not bad!" β
She spent more time watching than Satsuki did makeup. But all this Satsuki is used to.
"Alright. Your sideburns are messed up too, so let's do it! Zhang Yan was about to order the carriage to enter the palace, but as soon as she looked up, she saw that her personal maid was still with scattered sideburns, and she immediately frowned.
"Yes, Miss! Soon to be good! Xiao Yue responded, her hands flew over her head like butterflies, and after a while, she returned to her neat makeup, she glanced at Zhang Yan and said, "Miss, it's okay!" β
Zhang Yan nodded.
After a while, the coachman set up the carriage again and drove towards the palace gate
γ
"Huh! Miss, a lot of people have entered the palace today! Xiao Yue listened to the sound of cars passing by, lifted the curtain and looked out strangely.
"Who are they?" Zhang Yan's expression couldn't help but move.
"There is the carriage on Xuanyuan Shilang's mansion, and the carriage of Ding Shangshu's house. And ......" Xiao Yue looked at the carriage markings that passed by, and said them one by one.
She said there were more than a dozen people in total.
Zhang Yan listened, thought carefully in her heart, and then her face gradually became ugly.
So many young ladies went into the palace together, what did they do for the hell? remembered that day on the hunting ground, the eldest brother persuaded her that the Queen Mother was already looking for candidates for the four side concubines for His Royal Highness King Jing, but today there are so many famous daughters who have entered the palace together......
It's true! The Queen Mother wants to choose a side concubine for King Jing!
No! No, it can't be! There was a frustration in her heart, Zhang Yan sat there, although her face was calm, trying to maintain her identity as a daughter, but her hands trembled uncontrollably.
She wanted to roar loudly, why? She hasn't entered the palace yet, hasn't married Xuanyuan Jingxi yet, and hasn't given birth to a boy and a girl for him, why did the Queen Mother start choosing other women for him? Isn't she good enough?
Immediately after, Zhang Yan scored herself in her heart: I look good, one in a million, I have a gentle temperament, and the world knows it; I was born in a famous family, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, this is not comparable to ordinary people, the world says that His Royal Highness King Jing married me, it is a blessing that he has cultivated in eight lifetimes, and it should be like this!
The deep conceit made Zhang Yan indignant......
How did she know that the Queen Mother would not consider these at all, only considering that her son had never touched a woman's body over the years, and even the only princess agreed to marry her by threatening her life.
