Text Chapter 141 Conditions
Concubine Rui was silent for a moment, then raised her head suddenly, her eyes were dark: "Can this palace ask, who is the one who urgently needs this beautiful cherry?" ”
Yan Xiaowei couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, it stands to reason that she asked Concubine Rui for the beauty Sakura, and she should definitely explain the truth of the matter clearly. However, now that the person who is poisoned and urgently needs the first aid of the beauty cherry is Yan's father, Yan Xiaowei has some scruples in her heart. After all, Father Yan is the crown prince and the prince, although his identity is not a powerful minister of the government and the opposition, but he is also a person closely related to the future of the country. This Rui Concubine Niangniang looks very unusual, in case she learns that the person who needs the first aid of the beauty Sakura is Yan's father, and it will be complicated to coerce Yan's father to do something beneficial to her and the thirteen princes with the posture of a life-saving benefactor.
Although the crown prince of the Baili Dynasty has been established early, as Baili Ying gets older and older, the other princes' forces are getting stronger and stronger, and all forces are beginning to move. Even if the thirteenth prince is only more than ten years old now, he has to guard against it.
Seeing that she was silent for a long time, Concubine Rui turned her head slightly: "Is it inconvenient for even the palace to know?" ”
Yan Xiaowei just pursed the corners of her lips, and between them, Concubine Rui slapped her palm on the table, and then said: "That's it, then forget it......"
Yan Xiaowei suddenly raised her head and opened her eyes wide, forget it? Because she didn't tell her everything, she couldn't think about it anymore? Although I was apprehensive before I came, but now when I heard Concubine Rui's refusal, my heart still went to the bottom.
She hurriedly wanted to redeem herself: "Concubine Rui Niangniang......"
As soon as she spoke, Concubine Rui waved her hand, and when she saw her words, she was blocked in her mouth: "Forget it, this palace will not embarrass you." If you don't want to say it, this palace won't ask anymore. ”
As he spoke, he stood up from his chair.
Yan Xiaoyun also immediately stood up: "Concubine Rui, it's not that I don't want to say it." If you have to know, then ......"
Concubine Rui glanced at her lightly: "No need, you don't have to be embarrassed." Don't say anything, just take it. ”
What, just take it? Yan Xiaoyi's eyes widened: "Concubine Rui, what do you mean, you can give it to me?" ”
Concubine Rui Niangniang walked to Duobaoge on the side, took out a long box with a silk cover from the drawer below, and handed it to Yan Xiaoyi: "Well, I can give it to you." ”
I thought there was no hope just now, who would have thought that at this moment, I actually held it in my own hands. Yan Xiaoyi's heart has experienced ups and downs in a short period of time, and everyone is a little stunned. She slowly opened the box, and saw a long plant on top of the red flannel, with tiny hairs all over its body, slender leaves growing on opposite sides, and clusters of small and dense umbrella-like flowers on top. The petals are all green, and the fragrance is barely audible.
But the strange thing is that someone on this box has written the date of picking in palace script, it is already three years ago, but the whole flower almost seems to still grow in the soil, and the water is smart, and the small branches and leaves seem to be able to pinch out the water with a slight touch of the finger.
Yan Xiaowei couldn't help but stretch out her hand and touch the small petals on it, which were as light and soft as ordinary petals, and she was secretly amazed in her heart.
Seeing her look of surprise, Concubine Rui said on the side: "This beautiful cherry blossom is like this, it is said that it will not dry up and decay after a hundred years, otherwise how can it have the effect of bringing people back to life?" ”
If it was just a matter of hearing about it, Yan Xiaowei would probably only regard this beautiful cherry blossom as a legendary plant. However, when such a strange thing is really held in the hand, the feeling in my heart is quite different.
After only a brief glance, I felt that this beautiful cherry blossom was not a priceless treasure. Therefore, I felt that Concubine Rui gave her the beauty Sakura so easily, which was a little too easy.
She first thanked her respectfully and blessed herself, and then couldn't help but speak: "Concubine Rui, the beautiful cherry blossom is a priceless treasure, and there are only two of them in our entire Baili Dynasty." The courtiers thanked Niangniang for the reward, but the courtiers knew that it was the first time they met Niangniang, and there was no private friendship at all. Concubine Rui gave the beautiful cherry blossom to the courtier, but what are the conditions? ”
Concubine Rui hooked her lips, but there was no smile in her eyes: "What, I'm afraid that this palace will blackmail you with the love of the beautiful cherry blossoms?" ”
Yan Xiaoyi's heart jumped, and she was secretly shocked that this Rui Concubine Niangniang was really smart, and she could understand everything immediately, such a person was really smart, and she was so smart that it was shocking.
Maybe it was because her face was not good, Concubine Rui suddenly smiled: "Don't worry, even if you have Taifu Yan and the Rong family behind you, but this palace has nothing to want now, and I won't be embarrassed with you." ”
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly drooped, her eyelashes blinked twice, and her smile seemed to be a little bleak: "As you said, this palace is not familiar with you, and it is really unreasonable for you to come here so rashly and ask for something priceless when you open your mouth." However, this palace also knows that if you are not desperate and really in a hurry, you may not come to this palace to try your luck. No matter how bad this palace is, it won't make it difficult for you to open your mouth. ”
These short words really said Yan Xiaoyi's heart. If she wasn't in a hurry to detoxify Father Yan, how could she enter the palace so abruptly. Fortunately, this Rui Concubine Niangniang is sensible, she can't help but take off her guard a little, and her heart is slightly moved.
"It's just", Concubine Rui's voice changed: "You took away the beautiful cherry blossoms, and you owe this palace a great favor, which you can't deny." Her eyes narrowed, and she said slowly: "Why don't you promise a condition to this palace?" ”
Yan Xiaowei straightened up without a trace, and secretly took a breath: "Niangniang, you said that as long as the courtiers can do it, they must do their best." ”
Concubine Rui nodded: "Okay, what I want is your words." This palace wants you to promise, if one day, this palace changes hands, you must promise to protect the emperor of this palace! ”
As if a huge thunder struck Yan Xiaoyi, she couldn't help but be a little flustered: "Niangniang, your request is a little ...... Not to mention that this palace is good now, it really changed hands, and the Emperor of Freedom came to arrange. Moreover, Your Highness the Thirteenth is free to sit by your side, how can I, a weak woman, participate in this major event in the world? ”
As she spoke, she seemed to think of something, and said solemnly: "Although I have a marriage contract with the Rong family, I can't control the Rong family's work." Therefore, if you want to seek a backer for His Royal Highness Thirteen through me, then forgive the courtiers bluntly, the courtiers may not have that much ability! ”
Yan Xiaowei said these words almost in fear, she knew that saying this was almost a polite decline to Concubine Rui, maybe it would anger her, and maybe even take back the beauty cherry in anger. However, Yan Xiaoyan couldn't really agree to her conditions so easily, and guaranteed to protect His Highness the Thirteenth. After all, what happens in the future of this world is not something she can control. She can't even pull the Rong family in regardless of the Rong family's position just because she wants to ask for the beauty Sakura.
If she really took the liberty of agreeing like this, what is the difference between it and directly using the identity of the Rong family to seek the beauty Sakura? It's simply the identity of the Rong family. Jing as a quid pro quo!
She couldn't do such a thing!
was waiting with bated breath, who knew that Concubine Rui listened to it and smiled mockingly: "Do you think that this palace wants the Rong family to be a backer and seek a throne for the emperor of this palace?" Oh, you're wrong! What's so good about this throne, you also fight for me, the Qin brothers almost squeezed their heads between each other, and they can't distinguish between you and me! ”
She looked at Yan Xiaoyun deeply: "You can rest assured, this palace does not want to fight for the throne for my son, this palace wants to say that if one day, there is chaos in the palace, I hope you can protect my son's safety, and I wish him to avoid royal disputes." ”
Seeing that Yan Xiaoyi pursed the corners of her lips, she said expectantly, "How is it?" You don't have to fight for him, as long as you can protect him. In the future, he can be an idle prince, or go out of the palace to be a descendant of the world. I hope you can save him from the brutal slaughter of the princes. ”
Yan Xiaowei said with some hesitation: "Niangniang, why do you want to explain this to Xiaocun?" Isn't this palace good now? ”
Okay? That's when you don't see the dark tide that hides beneath the surface of the calm. Concubine Rui thought secretly in her heart, but she didn't say this: "Anyway, you owe this palace a favor, and this matter is not difficult, this palace will agree to you." ”
Seeing that Yan Xiaoyi still wanted to say something, as if she wanted to argue, she suddenly turned her head and looked at the quarter hour on the side: "It's noon soon, if you don't have anything important, why don't you have lunch with this palace?" ”
What the? It's noon? Before I knew it, two hours had passed, and if I didn't go back, Father Yan would be delayed!
She hurriedly stood up and respectfully retired: "Niangniang, the courtiers have been out for too long, and if you don't go back, I'm afraid it will delay the diagnosis and treatment." If you want to have lunch together, the courtiers are afraid that they will not be able to obey their fate. ”
Seeing that she had really diverted her attention, Concubine Rui raised her eyebrows secretly without a trace: "Oh? In that case, this palace will not keep you. Allow you to go back, if you need help from this palace for anything, just speak in the future. "Of course, you can't forget the conditions!
Yan Xiaoyi hurriedly saluted her respectfully, and then retreated from the side hall.
As soon as I went out, I saw the keel and Lingxiang waiting at the door, both of which had changed into dry clothes.
Seeing her come out, Ling Xiang hurriedly draped the fox fur in her hand on her shoulder, and asked anxiously, "Girl, have you got the things?" ”
Yan Xiaowei nodded: "I got it, let's go quickly, it's too late for a while, but it's complete!" ”
Dragon Bone and Lingxiang were originally surprised by Concubine Rui's generosity, and wanted to ask carefully, but when they thought of Father Yan, whose life and death were uncertain in the medical hall, they immediately put away their doubts and hurried behind her.
