Chapter 54: Goodbye Queen Mother
Zhao Ling took Murong Xun to the paddock, and Murong Xun looked at it, there were really a lot of people coming today. However, all the heroes of Daxiang were invited. Along the way, he received the attention of all parties, and Zhao Ling took it all as he could, but Murong Xun in his arms was not as calm as him, and Murong Xun, who didn't like to be noticed, suddenly had a feeling of sitting on pins and needles.
Skipping all kinds of people along the way, she suddenly thought that wouldn't the people of the Shangguan family also come today, if Li Nanyang saw herself, wouldn't the plan be in vain? When he looked at the people of the Li family, Murong Xun breathed a sigh of relief, and saw the dark red official uniform of Li Shen, the head of the Li family, riding on a red horse, and behind him were two young and handsome sons, one of whom was Li Nanhui, the third elder of the Li family, who called Li Nanyang back when he met Li Nanyang that day, he glanced at Murong Xun lightly, he should not have recognized her, and the other one was more faceless, and the star-eyed sword eyes had a heroic spirit, but there was an indifferent color between the eyebrows, as if he was outside of this bustle. But looking at his identity, it should be Li Nanchen, the second eldest of the Li family. But I didn't see Li Nanyang's figure.
The carriage continued to move forward, and saw that next to the Li family was the Shangguan family. The first is Shangguan He, he is also wearing a dark red white crane official uniform, riding a black horse, his face is very tight, and he doesn't look very good, and behind him is Shangguan Yingxue in a pale yellow dress, she pulled up all her hair today, fixed it with a ribbon, and rode a horse white under her, don't be a well-behaved taste. Next to him was a young man, with a slight resemblance between his eyebrows and Shangguan Yingxue, and he thought it was Shangguan Yingxue's brother Shangguan Hui.
And not far behind them stood two figures, they were not riding horses, one leaned on the trunk of the tree, bored playing with his fingers, white clothes flying, delicate and enchanting, while the other stood with his hands behind his back, warm as jade, like a cup of fame. These two are naturally the brothers of Shangguan Zisang and Shangguan Zixuan.
Seeing that the eyes of both of them looked at the two people who were leaning on horseback, Shangguan Zixuan was stunned for a moment, his eyes were even darker, and he still squeezed out a smile towards Murong Xun. Shangguan Zisang raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a little contempt, and looked away with disdain.
Murong Xun shook his head, this little guy is still angry when he thinks about it!
In the past, it was the people of the Huangfu family, but there were not many people from the Huangfu family, only the current head of the Huangfu family, Huangfu Junhua, with a few young people. Huangfu Junhua is considered to be the junior in the head of the four major families, but at the age of thirty, he has mastered the huge Huangfu family, making the Huangfu family better than his father in all aspects of military and political affairs, and he is really a person who should not be underestimated.
Murong Xun looked around, but he didn't see Murong Hua's figure.
Zhao Ling seemed to see Murong Xun's thoughts and said in her ear: "Father-in-law is a little uncomfortable, so he didn't come to participate!" Then he continued: "But the princess doesn't have to worry, this king has already called the imperial doctor and father-in-law to treat him!" ”
Murong Xun nodded and said lightly: "The prince is bothered!" ”
A few steps forward, I saw Zhao Che riding on a black horse on the side. He was dressed in a bright yellow brocade today, which made him majestic and inviolable, with sharp eyebrows and bottomless eyes, which took in everyone present. There was a vague smile on the corner of his mouth, I don't know if it was contempt for the common people or mockery of himself.
He was accompanied by two young women, one was Concubine Fang Qiao'er, who had a relationship with King Qin's Mansion that day, and the other was a little face-to-face, and I don't know what his identity was.
After Zhao Ling turned over and dismounted, he helped Murong Xun off the horse, and the two walked side by side to Zhao Che's horse. Zhao Ling bent down and asked: "I've seen the imperial brother, Concubine Hui, Concubine Rou!" ”
Murong Xun also followed Zhao Lingfu's body, and when he heard that the two women were Concubine Rou, he raised his eyes and glanced at her, and it turned out that this woman was Concubine Rou Huangfu Xiuhua. I saw Huangfu Xiuhua's apricot eyes and cherry lips, but she was also a beauty, and her eyebrows were submissive, but she was somewhat similar to Huangfu Yuhua.
Zhao Che said lightly: "No need to be polite, get up!" After a pause, he looked at Zhao Ling and frowned slightly and asked, "How is your body recovering?" ”
Zhao Ling hugged his fists and said: "Thank you Brother Huang for your concern, the wound has recovered, but occasionally there will be a faint pain, and the chest will be short of breath!" ”
Zhao Che nodded, his eyes deepened, and said: "Then you should pay attention, you must not be competitive today, if you hurt your body, I will not spare you!" ”
Zhao Ling shook his head with a smile and said, "Write it down!" ", and said: "Brother Rong Chen retired first and asked the Queen Mother to say goodbye!" ”
"Go, the Queen Mother is also thinking about you!"
Zhao Ling led Murong Xun to a tent again, which was where the Queen Mother's Luan car stopped.
After the palace maid gave a speech, the queen mother announced Zhao Ling and Murong Xun inside.
As soon as I entered the tent, there was a sense of coolness, and there was no heat outside. Murong Xun looked over and saw that there were ice cubes in the corners of this wide tent, no wonder it was so cool.
Inside, the light is a little dim. I saw a dignified woman sitting on the deepest seat.
I haven't seen it for eight years, the Queen Mother hasn't changed much, it seems that she hasn't even added a trace of wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, her black hair is coiled into a moon bun, she is wearing a crystal phoenix hairpin, she has emerald jade earrings, a smile at the corner of her mouth, and her eyes reveal the kindness of a mother.
Dignified and benevolent, the mother of the world.
Murong Xun clenched her teeth tightly, if she hadn't experienced it herself and knew how vicious this woman was, she was afraid that she would have been deceived by her gentle and kind hypocritical face!
"I've seen the Queen Mother!" Zhao Ling lifted his hem and knelt down in front of the Queen Mother. Murong Xun also knelt down with him, hiding the hatred in his eyes.
"Get up!" The Queen Mother smiled warmly, "Look at these little couple, they are really a pair of beautiful people!" ”
"But isn't it, the concubine just looked like she came out of a painting!" Sitting on the right side of the Queen Mother is Shangguan Yu'er, she wants to wear a reduced equestrian dress for the occasion today, her hair is curled behind her head, revealing her fair neck, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, and her phoenix eyes are like spring water, just like a peony with a national color and fragrance, after seeing Murong Xun clearly, Shangguan Yu'er was stunned for a moment, isn't this the woman she saw outside the palace that day? What is her relationship with Shangguan Zisang? The hesitation in her eyes flashed, and Shangguan Yu'er immediately looked at Zhao Ling and said with a smile: "Seventh brother is really true, if you marry a new daughter-in-law, you won't bring it into the palace to take a look at us, it's like we'll rob your daughter-in-law!" ”
Zhao Ling also smiled and said: "Guifei Niangniang Mingjian, my brother has never used such an idea!" Is it all the fault that my brother was injured a few days ago? After the courtiers recover, they will take the princess into the palace every day to talk to the queen mother and the concubine! Zhao Lingli was thoughtful and smiled, but always with a kind of indifference, which made people not close, but he also maintained just the right distance.
"Huh!" Zhao Ying, the eldest princess on the left, sneered, "The beauty of the seventh brother is very wonderful, you still remember us as elders!" Zhao Ying is wearing a plain dress today, with a small white flower on her head, slightly powdered, but the sad color in her eyes has not disappeared because of time.
Everyone present knew about the grievances between Zhao Ying and the Prime Minister's Mansion, so they smiled slightly, and no one answered.
Zhao Ling shook his head and smiled: "The imperial sister is joking, the little brother has forgotten who, and he doesn't dare to forget the imperial sister!" Aren't you afraid that the royal sister will ask the younger brother to wear the clothes of a palace maid during the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet and be molested by the sons of various families? ”
Talking about what happened when she was a child, remembering Zhao Ling's funny at that time, Zhao Ying couldn't help but smile, and the stiff atmosphere eased a little.
"This sister is so beautiful, sister play with me!" I saw a seven or eight-year-old little boy carved in pink and jade out of nowhere, holding one of Murong Xun's legs and sprinkling coquettishly, which made everyone laugh. The Queen Mother pointed to the little boy and smiled: "It seems that this love for beauty has been there since childhood!" ”
Zhao Ling gently knocked on the little boy's head, squatted down, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is not your sister, you have to call her the imperial aunt!" ”
Murong Xun lowered his eyes and looked at the little boy holding his legs, is this the crown prince Zhao Zhi? This child is really pitiful, since the day he was born, he has experienced life and death, and he is riddled with diseases, his skin is a little paler than that of a normal child, and his body is weaker. It's just that this child's eyes are as black as thick ink, and white as clouds in the sky, and black and white are so clear and clear.
If the child in the womb had been born safely, it would have been so big at this moment! Unconsciously, a few soft colors flashed in her eyes, she gently touched the little boy's head, and said softly: "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like to play?" ”
When Zhao Zhi was about to speak, he was gently taken aside by the arm, only to hear a gentle female voice coming: "The prince only knows how to play, if it is the article taught by Taifu, if you can't recite it, your father will punish you!" ”
Zhao Zhi immediately had a little more fear on his face, lowered his head, stood aside peacefully, wrung his sleeves and muttered unwillingly: "I already remember almost!" ”
Following the prestige, I saw a woman in a dark blue palace dress standing next to Zhao Zhi, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a peach face and beautiful eyes, but with a bit of heroism. This is the crown prince's biological mother, Concubine De, Concubine De was accepted into the palace shortly after Zhao Che ascended the throne, and when Murong Xun was still the queen, the two took care of each other in the Zijin Palace, but they had a little friendship. This Concubine De has a hearty temperament, but she is very close to Murong Xun.
Concubine De glanced at Murong Xun deeply, patted Zhao Zhi's head again, and said, "Go play by yourself!" After smiling lightly at Murong Xun, she walked towards a seat inside. There was no communication with the women present, but it was as if they were independent. It's just that the people present didn't care as if they were used to her taciturnity. What had happened to save the cheerful woman from being so indifferent? But gradually, a sneer appeared in Murong Xun's heart, Zhao Che was unkind, what happiness could he talk about marrying such a person?
