Chapter 55, the queen's dislike
I don't know why, looking at the smile on the queen's face, Yan Yan intuitively felt a cool breeze hit his back.
Thankfully, she was prepared for this question.
"Back to the emperor and the queen, it was the courtiers themselves pondering, the courtiers also a few days ago in the library to turn over a diary, during which someone mentioned one thing, said that they have a local missionary from the West to make a kind of pastry with eggs, milk and flour, very soft and delicious, the courtiers are worried that the queen mother's birthday has nothing chic things, so she practiced at home for several days, wasted a lot of eggs and flour, fortunately can barely come out." Yan Yan replied respectfully.
For this reason, she also specially found a customs log, and secretly added this passage to it, using her own pen style, not the original owner's, and it was not written with a brush, but with the hair on the wings of the wild duck as a pen, which is a hard pen calligraphy.
"Just now, the emperor's grandmother praised you for your ingenuity, but I didn't expect that if you really came from here, you can make pastries that are better than the chef in the imperial dining room with just two sentences, and whoever marries Yan'er's sister in the future is not a small blessing." A ripple appeared in Li Ji's heart again.
Unfortunately, it is still only a ripple.
No, as soon as his words fell, I saw a trace of displeasure flashing on the Queen Mother's face, "How else to say that this child's life is not good, since he was a child, it can be seen that the old saying is good, stupid people have stupid blessings, and it may not be a good thing to be too smart." ”
She didn't want her grandson to think anything else.
Yan Yan heard the disgust in the Queen Mother's tone, and was about to open his mouth to defend himself, only to see Li Ji pull Sun to stand up, "What the imperial grandmother said is naturally right, fools have stupid blessings, but the imperial grandmother Chrysostom said that Sister Yan'er ate the pastries rewarded by the imperial grandmother, and she will definitely take advantage of the blessings of the imperial grandmother from now on." Therefore, the grandson and granddaughter-in-law also want to taste this pastry, and also borrow some blessings from the ancestors. ”
"Okay, come, the ancestors will share a little blessing with you, and the two of you will be smooth in the future, and you will be more of a branch for our royal family." The Queen Mother saw that her grandson was not so confused that she forgot her identity, but she also gave him this face.
Next, the Queen Mother personally divided the remaining cake into small pieces and gave one to each of the juniors present, including the two eldest princesses.
Yan Yan received a compliment as usual, but because of the Queen Mother's previous words, these compliments sounded a little perfunctory, but fortunately, Yan Yan's original intention was not this.
Anyway, Yan Yu has escaped this level, and she can be regarded as achieving her goal.
Next, there were other people who offered gifts, it was a few princes and grandchildren who lived in the capital, and these people Yan Yan was basically not familiar, so he didn't have much interest.
However, Yan Yan paid attention to it, and there were really many rare things in these congratulatory gifts, such as a red coral tree, a fist-sized night pearl, a large jade carving, a jade mat and a jade pillow that was warm in winter and cool in summer, exquisite embroidery, pearls the size of a pigeon's egg, and so on, in short, breathtaking.
After the gifts were completed, the emperor led the crown prince, the prince, nephews and other men to retire, because it was time for the wives to enter the palace to worship.
When the palace maids and eunuchs cleaned up the hall, the queen mother went to the side hall to change clothes, and the queen beckoned to Yan Yan, and she asked Yan Yan how she planned to settle the grievances with the Lu family.
To be honest, she didn't expect to see Yan Yan on this occasion, in her opinion, so many things have happened, even if Yan Yan doesn't die and doesn't leave home, she can't come to the Queen Mother's birthday banquet so grandly, right?
How thick does this skin have to be?
Moreover, looking at this posture, it seems that she still wants to hook up with the prince, which she will never tolerate.
Therefore, although the queen restrained her emotions, Yan Yanneng sensed the other party's dislike, but now Yan can't lie, she still has the courage to say her request.
The queen also heard that Yan Yan asked Mrs. Lu to apologize in public and admit her mistake, and she also knew that her son had done a lot of things for Yan Yan, and he also used a rod to blame him for the first time, and now there are even rumors outside that the reason why the prince Li Ji is so harsh on the Lu family is because he has a personal affair with Yan Yan.
Although these words have not yet caused a storm in the city, the queen is determined not to be careless, for this reason, she doesn't like Yan Yan very much, and even a little disgusted, feeling that this girl is a little too confused about her identity.
To put it bluntly, she is just an orphan girl with no father and mother, even if the Lu family should not have taken Lu You to Yan's Mansion that day, the responsibility is not on Lu You alone, right? If it weren't for the Yan family's lax discipline of their subordinates, and if it wasn't for the fact that the back door of the Yan family's library happened to be open, why would Lu You take advantage of this loophole?
Therefore, this matter cannot be a one-sided crusade against the Lu family, the Yan family is also at fault, and it is still a big mistake.
But Yan Yan didn't know how to accept it when she saw it, so she had to force Mrs. Lu to apologize to her in public and admit her mistakes, if it weren't for the support of the Queen Mother and the Prince, how dare she do this?
Speaking of which, the queen is also a little puzzled, this matter is obviously the fault of the Yan family, but why is the Lu family willing to suffer this secret loss?
Since the incident happened, the Lu family has kept silent about the fault of the Yan Mansion, and has taken the responsibility one-sidedly, which is really not like the Lu family's approach.
Thinking of this, the queen looked at Yan Yan and asked: "This palace heard that the emperor and the crown prince have taught the Lu family a lesson for you, and the emperor has also ordered the prince of Zhenguo to apologize to your uncle, and this matter has been revealed, but you still don't give up, how do you plan to end it?" ”
"Back to the queen, the courtiers also want to dissolve the marriage contract with the Lu family as soon as possible, completely end the matter, and then go to the Qinglian Nunnery outside the city to practice for a period of time, to get rid of the bad luck in the body, and at the same time to calm down and think about how to go in the future."
"Practice? You're not going to get married? When the queen heard this, she was again displeased.
If she doesn't marry and goes to practice in the nunnery, can her son let it go?
"Back to the queen, I don't want to do it for the time being." When Yan Yan was hesitating to move out of the queen and press the queen, she saw the crown princess coming over with a smile, she came to report to the queen about the arrangements for the palace music performance, which can be regarded as relieving Yan Yan.
Yan Yan, who was already in an unhappy mood, returned to her seat and was pulled by Ma to ask about the content of her conversation with the queen, and Ma also said to Mrs. Lu, to the effect that Yan Yan wants to be forgiving, and if he wants to see a good thing, he will accept it, and he also said that stupid people have stupid blessings, and wisdom and will be injured, etc., in short, take a step back, everyone is fine, and the consequence of the needle tip on Mai Mang is to hurt others and hurt himself.
When Yan Yanzheng was impatient, the eunuch came to pass and ordered the women to wait outside the Cining Palace, and after a while, Aunt Rong helped the Queen Mother out of the side hall.
