Chapter 71 The Queen
However, he said, "Bad things spread thousands of miles", but in just a few hours, the streets and alleys were discussing the news that King Xinling was about to take command of the expedition. How do the people know that the undercurrent in the court is surging, and now the war in the north is tight, because of the news of defeat from time to time, the south is panicked, in the eyes of the people, King Xinling is the invincible patron saint of the south, there is no battlefield where King Xinling is there, there has never been news of the loss of the city, or the news of defeat.
On this day, Scarlet Smoke was busy in the house, but he didn't want to welcome an uninvited guest - the queen's mother. In the palace before, Scarlet Yan had seen this peerless lord of the harem who had been in charge of the harem for many years, but in the past, she had always looked at it from a distance, how could she have thought that this time she would be so close to this queen mother. But seeing that the queen was dressed in civilian clothes, she still couldn't cover the graceful and luxurious temperament around her, and she couldn't help but take a few more looks.
"Bold, don't kneel when you see the queen!" The little father-in-law beside the queen sharpened his voice and pulled Scarlet Smoke's mind back with a word.
Scarlet Yan glanced at the little eunuch for a long time, and said lightly, "Is there any queen mother here, madam, do you say it?" With that, she turned her gaze to the noble lady who had not spoken, but had not spoken but looked at her unscrupulously.
Hearing this, the corners of the queen's lips curled, revealing a smile, "Yan'er said well," and then she turned her head. As soon as the conversation changed, he scolded in a low voice, "Not yet?" ”
The little eunuch listened and hurriedly retreated a few steps, then turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
The girl glanced at the queen who was standing in front of her for some reason, and her expression was calm. She couldn't figure out why the queen came this time, with her relationship with Wei Xian, it didn't seem appropriate to call her so affectionately, and she was not annoyed that she had just given her a dismissal. What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd of the queen?
"Speaking of which, my mother's family has some connection with your father," said the Queen, walking slowly through the scarlet courtyard, "There is nothing wrong with me calling you a cigarette." ”
Scarlet Yan was stunned for a moment, and her eyebrows frowned slightly, "That's what Madam said." ”
The queen's steps paused, and then said slowly, "Are you wondering why I found you?" ”
"Please also ask Madame to make it clear." Scarlet shook his head and responded lightly.
The lady chuckled, "Don't be so restrained, with your ingenuity, you will definitely be able to guess, you might as well talk about it." ”
Hearing this, Scarlet Smoke raised his eyes, looked at the queen with a pair of smiling eyes, and said softly for a long time, "Is it for King Xinling?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Scarlet Smoke saw a hint of appreciation flashing in the queen's eyes, and knew that she had guessed correctly. After a pause, she added, "But this is a foregone conclusion......
"It's too early for Yan'er to say this." Before he finished speaking, the queen interrupted him, with a playful smile, and said calmly, "Although the emperor said so, this palace still has a certain right to speak." However, whether you can change the status quo depends on your attitude. ”
Scarlet Smoke frowned slightly, and a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart, but he still restrained his expression and asked, "Please also make it clear to Madame." ”
Hearing this, the queen slowly walked to Scarlet Yan's side, stretched out her hand to touch her shoulder, and said with a smile, "Yan'er is so clever, smart and capable, whoever marries is a blessing." As the saying goes, 'Fuyuan is not delivered', although the Xinling Mansion is friendly with the royal family, but its surname is Wei Chi. This palace said this, can Yan'er understand? ”
The girl was stunned, "Madam...... Is it to let me enter that deep palace? Seeing the queen but smiling silently, a chill gradually appeared in Scarlet Yan's heart, and after a long time, he said softly, "Don't you know that it is impossible for me and His Royal Highness to do so?" ”
"Yan'er, don't let your feelings blind you. In this world, only interests are the most reliable. The queen half-narrowed her eyes and said lightly.
The queen had already said it so clearly, it was impossible for Scarlet Smoke to pretend not to understand it. It was precisely because she understood that she felt more and more cold. Don't let emotions blind you? To put it bluntly, what her queen is interested in is only the power of the Prime Minister behind her. Although Scarlet Moon is the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, after all, she is not related to Scarlet Minister, and she will not play a role in Wei Xian's seizure of the throne. But if it were her scarlet cigarette, the situation would be different.
First, Wei Xian has already won the support of half of the ministers in the DPRK and China, and if the scarlet minister defects, it will be even more powerful for him; Second, she has no feelings for Wei Xian, and driven by interests, being promoted to a high position will have both glory and loss, and it will not have any impact on Wei Xian; Moreover, with her means, she doesn't have to worry about what moths will come out of Wei Xian's harem.
I have to say that the queen really made a wishful thinking, but she calculated and calculated, and she would not calculate that in this life, she came back from hell to ask Wei Xian to pay for her life, and she and Wei Xian were incompatible!
Seeing the scarlet smoke's expression flickering, the queen sneered in her heart, and continued to follow the path of seduction, "The north is in turmoil now, and even General Pei has stayed there. If the King of Xinling accidentally makes a mistake, you will have to stay alive and widowed at a young age, and the reputation of the Xinling King's Mansion will definitely fall to the bottom, you might as well ......"
"It's better to marry him before he gets married, find another lover, and enjoy the glory and wealth in the future. Yan'er, I'm doing this for your good. ”
Hearing this, Scarlet Yan blinked, revealing a look of longing, "Niangniang, what you said is true?" ”
"Huh?" The queen had clearly not yet recovered from the transformation of the scarlet smoke.
"If I follow His Highness, His Highness will respect my father as he respects his own?"
"That's nature."
"If I make any mistakes, he will tolerate me and treat me as his own, even if I don't have a relationship between a man and a woman?"
"That's ...... nature"
"If I don't like any of the concubines in his palace, I can also drive them all out of the palace?"
"This ......"
"If I accidentally poison him, will he forgive me, even pass the throne to my child?"
Hearing this, the queen's face was already gloomy, and there was a hint of hideousness, "What are you talking about?" ”
As soon as the words fell, she saw that Scarlet Smoke's face was full of indifference, and the mockery in her words was meaningful, "What am I talking about, don't you understand the queen mother?"
"Treat yourself as your own father? Exclusive to one person? Mother-in-law is really good at joking. The corners of Scarlet Cigarette's mouth hooked a dangerous arc, "Isn't Niangniang still thinking that Yan'er is a little girl who doesn't know the world, so easy to deceive?" ”
The queen snorted coldly, "You're very smart. However, this palace also put the words here, if you are willing to enter the palace, this palace will personally preside over and give you the most solemn wedding in the south; If not...... Let's go to collect the corpses of others. ”
Half-closed, Crimson chuckled, "Niangniang, this is threatening me?" ”
However, the queen did not respond, and returned to her previous amiable appearance, "The palace is waiting for the good news of Yan'er." With that, she turned and left the courtyard.
Scarlet looked at the woman's figure and gradually disappeared from sight, for a long time, her thin lips lifted slightly, and she spit out a few words, "Enough of it?" ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a loud sound behind her, and when Scarlet turned around, she saw Wei Chimu with a well-groomed face, leaning obliquely against the tree, as if it was not him who had just eavesdropped.
Secretly gave the man a roll of his eyes, scarlet and said, "How long have you been there?" ”
Yu Chi Mu pursed his mouth, straightened up with his hand, strode to the front of Scarlet Smoke, leaned over slightly, and said with a smile, "It's not early or late, just when I saw you climbing the tree to pick ginkgo." ”
A breath belonging to a man came to his nose, and Scarlet Smoke's heart jumped, and then he took a step back and distanced himself from it, climbing a tree? At that time, there was still some time before the queen's visit, and he actually came so early, and he didn't notice it at all? Scarlet Yan half-narrowed her eyes a little displeased, "It's better to get rid of the prince's peeping problem." Beware of being sent to the yamen as a flower thief one day. ”
"Oh?" Scarlet Smoke's words seemed to amuse the man, Wei Chimu put his hands together, handed them to Scarlet Smoke, and said with a smile, "Then please also ask the girl to tie her to the yamen, so-called, it is also romantic to die under the peony flower." ”
Scarlet Yan was stunned for a moment, suddenly pursed her lips, and frowned at him, "You don't have to think of ways to tease me." I've thought about it, Northern Xinjiang, either I'll go with you, or don't go to anyone. ”
Hearing this, Wei Chimu stepped forward, pulled the woman into his arms without saying anything, and said softly, "Yan'er, you are unreasonable." ”
"Who's being unreasonable!?" Scarlet suddenly lost his temper, broke free from the man's arms, and glared at him, "What is the situation in Northern Xinjiang, you know better than me, you go alone, what is it if you don't send you to death?" ”
"Where did I go alone," Wei Chimu smiled helplessly, "There are a group of soldiers who are going with me, how can it be said that they are sent to death?" I think that at the beginning, my 30,000 Red Armor Army, facing 100,000 enemy troops, still returned triumphantly, and the damage was only 10%. After that, he stretched out his hand to pull Yiren back into his arms, but he didn't want to let the scarlet smoke still hold on.
"Can it be compared then to now? Now ......"
However, before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by the man's heavy gaze, Yu Chimu grabbed his long arms, pulled the scarlet smoke in front of his eyes, and the woman's deep eyes reflected the woman's uneasy, "What are you afraid of?" You don't believe in this king either? ”
"It's not that I don't believe you, I don't believe in myself." Scarlet Smoke's eyes reddened slightly, "I don't believe that I can keep the Prime Minister's Mansion in this imperial city, keep my original intention, and wait until the day you come back......"
Wei Chimu was stunned for a moment, hugged the woman into his arms, and called softly, "Yan'er, Yan'er." ”
Lying on the man's shoulder, the scarlet smoke calmed down a little for a long time, leaving Wei Chimu's arms, looking at the man's deep eyes, and said softly, "I have prepared a medicine box for you, and before you leave in a few days, you can come to my house to get it." ”
Yu Chimu looked at the woman in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "The queen is telling you this today, when I leave Beijing, I am afraid that you will be summoned to the palace." With that, he pulled out a wooden token from his sleeve and placed it in Crimson's hand.
The wooden sign feels as warm as jade to the touch, and it is engraved with a subtext of dragon flying and phoenix dancing, and the scarlet smoke was stunned for a moment, and then he heard Yu Chimu say again, "You take this token and find a person named Wang Chong, he will give you all kinds of help, even if you want to leave this song city, it is not a problem." ”
"......"
"Yan'er, I don't feel at ease when you enter the palace."
