Chapter 114: Mrs. An Pinghou
Mo Jinglin finally had a good night's sleep last night, Qingfeng and Xiu'er watched their master reconcile, and they were happy, and there was no longer any awkward quarrel between the two of them, and Moxiangyuan returned to its original appearance.
And here Li Xiang got up early in the morning, took his things and went to the palace, he didn't dare to slack off on this matter, after all, he was not blind, and he could see that his prince didn't like the Miss Xiao family. If the Queen Mother insists on stuffing people into this Xiaoyao Palace, I am afraid that there will be a little gap between the mother and son in the future.
The Queen Mother got up early when she was old, and when Li Xiang came, she had already had breakfast and was playing with the birds in the yard.
"The old slave greets the Queen Mother." Li Xiang saluted Xiao Xue in a proper manner.
"Get up." Xiao Xue teased the birds while talking, she reused this Li Xiang, just because he was a person of rules, he would not be proud of his favor because he trusted him, and he would not do anything sorry for his master, and she was somewhat relieved to send him to watch her son for herself.
"I'm here so early today, but what's the matter with Jinglin?"
"The prince asked the old slave to send back all the things you asked Miss Xiao to send back the day before yesterday and return them to you."
When Xiao Xue heard this, she didn't tease the birds anymore, so she sat down on a chair before she said, "Did he say anything?" ”
"The prince said, there are some things you don't have to worry about."
"What, he doesn't like the arrangement of the mourning family?"
"From the old slave's point of view, the prince really doesn't like it."
Xiao Xue sighed and said, "Li Xiang, you should understand the painstaking efforts of the mourning family and persuade him for the mourning family." ”
Li Xiang couldn't see that the emperor couldn't trust his own brother and wanted to seize the power of his own prince. The Queen Mother thought about the situation of the prince in the future, so she wanted Miss Xiao to enter the door. Although this Anping Houfu is the Queen Mother's mother's house, Anping Hou was born to her stepmother, and she has no feelings when she is young. That's why I thought about letting the prince marry Miss Xiao. In the future, there is the Anping Marquis Mansion behind him, and it is better than this Lin Mansion. Although General Lin is now in a high position and has military power, it seems to be good. But once the emperor seized his military power, there was nothing. And Anping Houfu is different, no matter how you say it, it is the emperor's uncle, and the emperor will give face to some extent.
"The Queen Mother, the prince has been a person with ideas since he was a child, where is he willing to listen to persuasion."
"Then according to your intentions, let the mourning family take care of it?"
"Queen Mother, to put it mildly, you think it's for the sake of the prince, but the prince has to be willing to appreciate it, and he doesn't like Miss Xiao. If you insist on pulling them together, not only will you not be able to help the prince, but it may be bad for you to have a dislike with the prince because of Miss Xiao's entry into the mansion. Moreover, if the prince made Miss Xiao feel wronged, then Mrs. An Pinghou is not reasonable. According to the old slave, the queen mother, you should not pay attention to it. ”
When Xiao Xue heard this, she stopped talking and turned the fingers on her hand. After a while, he asked, "How is the Lin family girl these days?" ”
Li Xiang said truthfully, "Most of the old slaves are on errands in the front yard, and they don't have many opportunities to see this young lady. But it can also be seen that the prince likes this Miss Lin very much, and since this Miss Lin came, the prince is obviously in a good mood. ”
"No matter how much you like it, you can't just look at her alone." Xiao Xue said disapprovingly.
"The Queen Mother is right, but now that the prince likes her, it's better for you not to pay attention to too much. You don't know the prince's temperament. Li Xiang persuaded again.
Xiao Xue sighed before saying, "The mourning family knows." Go back and tell that stinky boy that if you don't want to meddle in his affairs, you can do something yourself. ”
Xiao Xue also knew that this Li Xiang was telling the truth, and when he thought of Mrs. Anping Hou, he was afraid that Xiao Yuye would be wronged in Jinglin in the future, and he would really be able to demolish the palace. Alas, that's it, I was also in a hurry to find a backer for Jing Lin, so I wanted Xiao Yuye to enter the palace. Since Jinglin doesn't like it, forget it.
Li Xiang knew that this was done, and he was not in a hurry to leave, but stayed to accompany the Queen Mother to relieve her boredom, and at noon the Niangniang was about to rest, so she returned to the palace.
As soon as he returned home, he hurriedly went to Mo Jinglin's courtyard again, and only then went to rest after talking back to him.
The next few days were peaceful, but Xiao Yuye was impatient, she wanted to wait for her aunt to summon her, and wanted to go to Lin Yue to play prestige in front of Lin Yue after getting the letter. But he didn't wait for Xiao Xue's summons, so he was sullen all the time.
"Qing'er, you go and see if my mother is free now, if it's free, come and tell me, if it's not free, you just wait there, when she's empty, you come back and tell me." Xiao Yuye instructed the girl beside him. This girl was not originally called Qing'er, but she liked Mo Jinglin and knew that the people around him started with Qingzi, so she changed the girl's name.
The girl named Qing'er heard this, so she had to go and have a look.
As soon as I entered Mrs. Suxiang's yard, I met Su Xiang, this Su Xiang was the big girl next to Mrs. Anpinghou, Qing'er hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Sister Su Xiang, is Mrs. free?" ”
Su Xiang saw that it was Qing'er, so she took her hand and said kindly, "What's the matter, Miss is in trouble?" Madame is free right now. Come in with me. ”
Su Xiang is a high-minded and arrogant person, relying on his wife to be reused, and ordinary people don't pay attention to it. It's just that this Qing'er is the person next to Xiao Yuye, so he is polite to her, no matter what, this Miss Yuye is the heart of the lady.
"Mademoiselle only let me see if Madame is free, and if she is free, let me go back and tell her." Qing'er hurriedly withdrew her hand, she was a timid girl, she knew that Su Xiang was a person on weekdays, and every time she was so affectionate to herself, she was not used to it.
Su Xiang didn't annoy her to withdraw her hand, but continued, "In that case, you go back to Miss, maybe Madame will be busy in a while." Don't delay Miss's business. ”
When Qing'er heard this, she hurriedly went back to tell Xiao Yuye, and Xiao Yuye learned that her mother was free, so she was in a hurry to go there.
"Mother~" Xiao Yuye hurriedly said coquettishly as soon as she entered the door.
Mrs. Anping Hou Liu Meirou, she is not as good as her name, she is neither charming nor soft, she is a fat woman with a pungent temperament, and her appearance is not outstanding. It stands to reason that such a appearance will only make Anping wait for more concubines. However, because of her temperament, this Anping Hou is afraid of her, because there are not many women in the backyard of this Anping Houfu.
At this time, when he heard his daughter shouting like this, he said, "If you have any, you mother and I are busy." ”
Xiao Yuye often couldn't stand his mother talking like this, and sometimes he didn't know how his father could marry such a person as his mother, so he frowned and said, "Mother, can't you speak gently?" ”
"Your mother, if I were Sven, you and your brother would still have a status in this family. Maybe your mother's position as the head of the house will be replaced by those foxes in the backyard. ”
"Okay, okay, don't talk about this, my daughter has something to do with you."
"Hmph, let's talk about it." Liu Mei was in a hurry, she didn't like to procrastinate, "Hurry up, I still have to go to the front yard." ”
"Mother, you say, why haven't you given the Queen Mother's edict?"
"What is the purpose?"
"It's the will of marrying me to my cousin Jinglin."
As soon as Xiao Yuye mentioned this, Liu Meirou became angry, "Do you think you are stupid, what is so good about Mo Jinglin, he has a concubine, and now you are with him, at most you are a side concubine." Hmph, it's better to call it a side concubine, but it's actually as lowly as those concubines in our backyard. Is it worth it for you to be so wronged for him? ”
Liu Meirou took a sip of tea and continued, "What kind of family are we, what kind of family is his concubine, you are actually willing to bow low and be small, it is better to marry the current emperor, at least the mother in the palace." Is the Queen Mother really a fool for us? In the past, when Mo Jinglin was not married, he didn't look at you, but now that Mo Jinglin has lost power, he wants someone to protect him, so he wants to pull us Anping Houfu to be his backing, and she thinks that she is beautiful enough. ”
"Mother, why do you say that about your aunt." Xiao Yuye was not very happy to hear his mother say this. Although I knew in my heart that what my mother said was the truth.
"Isn't what I said true, old lady? I tell you, it's good that you're dead to this heart. She wants my baby daughter to make her son small, and it depends on whether I agree or not. There are many people who marry daughters to help their parents' families, and your aunt is the only one who pits her own family. ”
When Xiao Yuye heard this, she hurriedly cried, "Mother, it's your daughter who wants to be young, not you, don't interfere, in this life, my daughter is not married to Cousin Jinglin." Even if it is for a concubine, the daughter is also willing. ”
When Liu Meirou heard this, she gasped angrily, "Why did I raise such a stupid daughter as you, tell me, can you stand a woman pointing fingers at you in the future?" You're a good-natured person. Is it worth it for you to do this for the sake of a Mo Jinglin? ”
"It's worth it." Xiao Yuye said stubbornly. For the sake of Jinglin's cousin, she is willing to wronged herself, even if it is for a concubine, she feels that it is worth it?
Liu Meirou stared at her daughter for a long time, and she actually knew in her heart that her daughter was stubborn, but she was afraid that if she didn't follow her wishes, she would really not let people stop meeting, so she had to sigh and say, "The Queen Mother, if you want us to help her youngest son in Anping Houfu, let her son marry you as a concubine." Otherwise, don't talk about it. ”
When Xiao Yuye heard this, he hurriedly said, "Mother, do you have a way to help me?" "It would be great if Lin Yueyue could stay away from Cousin Jinglin.
"Hmph, if it weren't for your girl admitting death, I wouldn't be happy for you to marry Mo Jinglin's stinky boy. He is now unable to protect himself, and maybe one day the emperor will demote him to a desolate place, you can think about it, if this is the case, you will have to follow. ”
"My daughter is very happy as long as she can be with him." Xiao Yuye said with a red face.
"Alas, that's it, I'll go into the palace and go for you." Liu Meirou felt sorry for her daughter in the bottom of her heart, and she knew that Mo Jinglin was the only one she missed, so she had to find a way to help her.
