Chapter 37: Seeing Reality Clearly
When she arrived at the Imperial Garden, the queen did not hold back on people, and drank tea in the pavilion with a group of women, and let the young ladies go separately.
"Xie Changning" is in the limelight today, and the sons and young ladies who are familiar with each other are constantly coming forward to make friends, but Xie Changan only lowered his eyebrows and smiled lightly, not wanting to say more, and everyone knows that "Xie Changning" has a marriage contract with the prince of Yanjun, so they generally dispersed, and the roots of the ears were finally clean, and Xie Changan breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Qinglan was secretly anxious in the distance, but when everyone dispersed, Yan Qinglan found this gap and walked to Xie Changan. is still like that Zhilan Yushu, with a smile in his eyebrows, Xie Changan is happy to see it, and he is also smiling.
Looking at the smiling "Xie Changning" gently, Yan Qinglan was even more sure that what she liked more in her heart was the gentle "Xie Changning", and thought about it again and again: "Changning, your sword dance today has impressed me, I have never seen you so high-spirited......"
"Let the prince laugh, but don't dislike Changning's ......vulgarity" Xie Changan said this deliberately, just to know if Yan Qinglan likes to dance and play with swords, and can't help but look forward to it.
"Changning dances very well, but this sword has no eyes, Qinglan is afraid that Changning will hurt yourself by mistake, in comparison, Fuqin is more elegant, the sound of the piano is pleasant, and the mind is stable, isn't it wonderful!"
When Xie Changan heard this, the smile on his face couldn't hold back for a while, and he forced a smile: "What the prince said is extremely true, Changning is a ......last resort today" Yan Qinglan said tactfully, but Xie Changan already understood that Yan Qinglan didn't like her sword dancing......
"Qinglan knows that Changning is forced to do so today, if it is possible in the future, I hope Changning will stop dancing the sword, the sword has no eyes, and I am afraid that it will hinder your reputation......" The words fell, Yan Qinglan was afraid that "Xie Changning" would annoy herself, and said: "Changning Fuqin is profound, Qinglan is still looking forward to hearing Changning's piano sound again......"
Hearing this, Xie Changan was very sad, Yan Qinglan not only didn't like her dancing with swords, but she also felt that dancing with swords hindered her reputation, could it be that dancing swords and swords was something to do? Didn't the imperial court rely on the protection of the border generals and countless soldiers to achieve this peace? Is it such an unforgivable sin to wield a sword and a sword...... What she is best at is dancing with a sword and a sword, rather than playing the piano and painting. Xie Changan came to her senses in an instant, for a period of time, she had been immersed in Yan Qinglan's kindness to her, and she was also lost in Yan Qinglan's warmth and jade, but now she clearly realized that the object of Yan Qinglan's favor was not her, and the person she loved in her heart was naturally not her! Is she Xie Changning after all......
Xie Changan glanced at Yan Qinglan deeply, didn't say anything, and turned to leave, but his heart was cold little by little. Her heart was full of bitterness, and when her love was deeply rooted, she clearly found that Yan Qinglan still loved the original Xie Changning, but Yan Qinglan was so disgusted with her original self, how could she deceive herself and approach Yan Qinglan again?
Yan Qinglan saw that "Xie Changning" left without saying a word, and there was an emotion in his eyes that he couldn't see, and he immediately regretted it, and secretly blamed himself for talking too much...... However, he just followed his own heart, and what he liked was still the gentle and petty "Xie Changning", not the high-spirited "Xie Changning" in front of him. In addition to regretting, Yan Qinglan felt a strangeness in her heart, is Xie Changning, who is so high-spirited today, really the same person as the gentle and petty Xie Changning? Why is there such a big difference?
This Xiao Yu was going to follow Xie Changan to the Imperial Garden, but he was summoned by the Queen Mother without thinking about it, so he could only watch Xie Changan leave, and reluctantly followed the little eunuch to the Queen Mother's Cining Palace.
When the Queen Mother saw Xiao Yu's depressed face, she hurriedly took Xiao Yu's hand and said, "What? You're so upset that you're going to talk to your grandmother? But I don't like the imperial grandmother because she is old and doesn't want to accompany the imperial grandmother? ”
Seeing that there was a sad look in the queen's back, Xiao Yu hurriedly said: "Imperial grandmother, Yu'er misses you so much, why don't you want to talk to you?" It's just that Yu'er is a little annoyed...... "When the words fell, her head drooped again."
Seeing this, the Queen Mother knew that it must be related to "Xie Changning", sighed, pulled Xiao Yu to sit down beside her, and asked, "But it has something to do with Xie Changning?" ”
Seeing Xiao Yu shaking her head, the Queen Mother was puzzled and asked, "Don't you like that Miss Xie family?" ”
Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Imperial grandmother, Yu'er likes Chang'an, not Xie Changning." ”
The Queen Mother was puzzled again, she had heard of this Xie Chang'an, but wasn't this girl missing? The Queen Mother thought for a moment and asked, "Yu'er, tell the imperial grandmother that you like the young lady who dances the sword today?" ”
Xiao Yu nodded happily and said: "Imperial grandmother, that is Chang'an, what Yu'er likes is Chang'an!" Hearing this, the Queen Mother thought to herself, could it be that Xie Chang'an and Xie Chang'an look so similar, otherwise how could Jue'er admit her mistake?
Seeing that she couldn't find a reason, the Queen Mother said that she was confused, and her mind moved, and she went to the Imperial Garden to find Prince Zhong and Princess Zhong. Prince Zhong was uneasy all the way, thinking that something had happened to Xiao Yu or that something had happened, Xiao Yu had something to do in the palace back then, and Princess Zhong was afraid, and she couldn't help but be a little happier at her feet.
When he arrived at Cining Palace, he saw Xiao Yu honestly accompanying the Queen Mother, and Princess Zhong let go of her hanging heart. The Queen Mother concisely explained the intention of summoning her, and Princess Zhong said: "Queen Mother, Yu'er was rescued by the second miss of the Xie family in Qingshan Temple before, and then Yu'er has always remembered the second miss of the Xie family, but after the second miss of the Xie family disappeared, Yu'er always regarded Xie Changning as Xie Changning, in fact, the two young ladies of the Xie family were not born like this, then Xie Chang'an was born heroic, not as gentle and moving as Xie Changning, but the recent Xie Changning is different from usual, no wonder Yu'er always admits mistakes......"
When the Queen Mother heard this, her heart moved, her eyes were deep, and she turned the Buddha beads in her hand and said: "If Yu'er likes that Xie Chang'an, then Xie Chang'an's reputation has been ruined, let Xie Chang'an marry Yu'er, the Xie family will not refuse......"
Xiao Yu, who was quietly eating pastries on the side, heard the Queen Mother say that she wanted Xie Chang'an to marry her, and clapped her hands happily: "Imperial grandmother, Yu'er likes Chang'an, if Chang'an marries Yu'er, Yu'er is very happy, Yu'er will be good to Chang'an!" ”
Prince Zhong and Princess Zhong were not as happy as Xiao Yu, but felt that the Queen Mother's move was very inappropriate, and said carefully: "Queen Mother, the daughter-in-law intended to tell Xie Chang'an about Yu'er, and she also went to Rong'an's Mansion to inquire about Xie Chang'an's whereabouts, but Rong'an's Mansion said that there was no trace, and they didn't want to look for Xie Chang'an...... anymore."
The Queen Mother glanced at Prince Zhong meaningfully, the Buddhist beads in her hand turned faster and faster, and said for a while: "Xie Chang'an didn't leave Beijing since he was a child, and he disappeared after returning to Beijing, except for you and Yu'er, the people in the capital are afraid that no one has ever seen that Xie Chang'an, who knows if Xie Chang'an and Xie Changning are born alike?" ”
Prince Zhong and Princess Zhong were shocked when they heard this, and the queen mother's implication was that Xie Changning would marry Xiao Yu in the name of Xie Chang'an, so that they could not be considered bullying and snatching his wife, but also let Xiao Yu get his wish.
Prince Zhong and Princess Zhong glanced at Xiao Yu who was delighted beside her, and couldn't help but be moved, not to mention Xiao Yu, that is, she also likes Xie Changning's dignified and generous lady, although today's performance is surprising, but Prince Zhong feels that the essence of "Xie Changning" is still gentle and virtuous, but such an excellent girl, how could the Xie family agree to marry her Yu'er...... Unless she is Xie Changan, whose reputation has been ruined, when the time comes, it is only necessary to say that she disappeared because she fell off the cliff and was saved by her mother's family, and she has been unconscious and does not know her identity, so that she can save a little bit of her reputation......
When Princess Zhong came back to her senses, she realized that she had thought so far ahead, and she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. When the Queen Mother saw the appearance of Prince Zhong and Princess Zhong, she immediately knew that Prince Zhong had agreed, and said with a smile: "As for Xie Changning, if he dies of serious illness, what can others say?" Doesn't Rong Anhou want to be used now, and what relationship is more reliable than marrying the royal family? I think Rong Anhou will also be a smart person......"
Prince Zhong saw that the queen was tired, and said with a lot of eyesight: "Queen Mother, it's the daughter-in-law who is not filial, so you are worried about Yu'er, it's not early, Queen Mother, you should rest early!" Xiao Yu, who beckoned to the side, said, "Yu'er, say a few words to the imperial grandmother and we'll go back." ”
"Imperial grandmother, Yu'er likes Chang'an, is it true that you said that Yu'er should marry Chang'an?" Xiao Yu was afraid of empty joy, Xie Changan clearly had a marriage contract with Yan Shizi, and immediately reconfirmed.
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Yu'er, has the imperial grandmother ever lied to you?" Don't worry, the imperial grandmother will definitely let Xie Chang'an marry Yu'er, but Yu'er, you have to promise the imperial grandmother, you can't say this thing, otherwise, the imperial grandmother will not let that Xie Chang'an marry you! ”
Xiao Yu's chick nodded as if pecking rice and promised: "Yu'er will never say it!" The imperial grandmother is the best, and Yu'er likes the imperial grandmother the most! Imperial grandmother, Yu'er will come to see you another day! The words made the Queen Mother happy.
"Mother, let's go home quickly, I want to tell the eldest brother the good news......" The words fell, and he hurriedly covered his mouth and peeked at the Queen Mother. Seeing Xiao Yu so funny, the Queen Mother pretended to be angry and said, "Yu'er, you promised the imperial grandmother!" ”
Xiao Yu looked flustered and said anxiously: "Imperial grandmother, Yu'er is wrong, Yu'er promises not to tell anyone, and the eldest brother will not tell you!" As he spoke, his voice grew quieter......
Seeing this, the Queen Mother smiled and said: "Let's go back, Yu'er, remember that I can only tell your eldest brother, and the people next to me can't talk about it anymore!" ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yu happily followed Prince Zhong home, he had to hurry up and tell the eldest brother the good news, thanks to the eldest brother for letting him insist, otherwise he would not be able to ask Chang'an to be his daughter-in-law......
