Chapter 160: When Fake Is True
The days are unusual, except for the increasingly cold winter snow, there seems to be no waves.
Xie Changan still closed himself in the house, while Xiao Yu went once in ten days and a half months, all of them came and returned with excitement, and the number of times he came after that became less and less, and he was only in the Anjun Palace. It is rumored that Concubine Sima is now Xiao Yu's new favorite, but the servants in the mansion can hear Concubine Sima's shy chuckle all day long.
I really only saw the new people laughing, and I didn't see the old people crying.
Of course, these are just rumors, and the day when the rumors are confirmed is when the banquet in the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve is held, Xiao Yu is followed by Sima Yan, but not Xie Changan, everyone present smiled, and their hearts were clear.
When the Queen Mother saw this, her eyes fell deeply on Sima Yan, but she snorted coldly, and looked at Concubine Wu Shu, who was facing the emperor's eyes, without a trace, and snorted coldly. After opening his eyes, he beckoned to Xiao Yu, "Yu'er, you are here for the emperor's grandmother." ”
Xiao Yuan jumped forward happily and shouted sweetly, "Imperial grandmother, Yu'er misses the imperial grandmother!" And Sima Yan stood in place with interest, and did not dare to raise her eyes to look at the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother took Xiao Yu's hand and said in a rare earnest voice: "Yu'er, why didn't you bring Chang'an today?" Knowingly, he asked it, but it was to test Xiao Yu's mind.
"Imperial grandmother......" Xiao Yu seemed displeased, and didn't want to say more, so he only hesitated for a while: "Imperial grandmother, that Chang'an is not Chang'an, it's not good, Yu'er doesn't like it...... That Chang'an kept crying, ignoring Yu'er, and kept crying, Yu'er was upset! ”
The Queen Mother sighed secretly, but remained silent, "Yu'er, then do you like that Sima Side Concubine?" ”
Xiao Yu didn't make a sound, just looked back at Concubine Sima, turned her head and said, "Yu'er doesn't know either, Yu'er just wants to find someone to talk to...... Yu'er's heart was in turmoil. Suddenly, Leng Buding gave the Queen Mother a look, which was meaningful.
The Queen Mother understood, but half of it was revealed, and only patted Xiao Yu's hand, "Yu'er, Chang'an is a good ...... That Sima side concubine, the imperial grandmother didn't like it, so Yu'er only talked to her, and ignored the others. When the words fell, he raised his eyes to look at the emperor who was listening to the two grandchildren, and said mercilessly: "If the emperor wants to talk to the mourning family and Yu'er, why don't you come over, listen like this, but you can't understand it." ”
The emperor sneered and said, "The imperial grandmother has misunderstood." But the others couldn't have quibbled.
It's strange to say, the palace was not very peaceful a few days ago, the bedrooms of Concubine Wu Shu and Concubine Murong Hui were haunted, and there were always babies crying in the middle of the night for several days, intermittently, low and low, but they cried miserably, making people feel chills down their spines.
The lord of the two palaces hurriedly ordered a thorough investigation, but he couldn't find out why, as if it was really a wronged soul asking for his life. For a while, although it was forbidden to chew the root of the tongue on the surface, it became more and more ridiculous in private, and the palace maids of the two palaces were all panicked, and those who had a relationship were transferred outward, and they could only hold a group at night, for fear of falling but being caught by the gods unconsciously.
The dignified but coquettish Concubine Wu Shufei was tired in her eyes, and there was an indistinct panic. In the distance, Concubine Murong Hui, who seemed cold and arrogant but newly panicked, was raising her glass to drink, her cold eyes fluttering.
And Xiao, who wanted to be silent, took in everyone's every move, but did not forget to raise his glass from time to time, and from time to time to sandwich some of Xiao Yu's favorite dishes and Xiao Yu, but Sima Yan on the side became an ornament, only lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head to eat, and occasionally Xiao Yu said a few words.
Xiao Yu didn't take Xie Chang'an but took Sima Yan to the palace for a banquet, but that night the Marquis of Rong'an knew about it.
"Then why is the king of Anjun so unkind?" Lin Shi's eyes were red in front of Rong Anhou, and he pulled Rong Anhou's sleeve and begged, "Master, Chang'an is like this now...... How can we ignore it? ”
Rong An sighed, but did not say anything.
I wanted to hide it from Mrs. Xie, but how could Mrs. Xie be so easy to fool in the Rong'an Hou Mansion, after getting the news, she snorted coldly, her cloudy eyes immediately sharpened, her face was cold, and her thin hand fell to the ground with a cane, and commanded sharply, "Prepare a carriage, I'm going to pick up An'er back!" ”
When the Lin family got the news, the old lady Xie was about to get into the carriage, but the Lin family didn't say much, and hurriedly got into the carriage, worrying: "Ancestor, it's cold at night, you go back to the house first, I'll pick up An'er." ”
Old Mrs. Xie's face was like frost, and she said coldly: "My old bones can still withstand it." Hearing this, the Lin family couldn't say anything more, so he had to accompany him peacefully.
As soon as she arrived at Prince Zhong's mansion, Mrs. Xie got out of the carriage and went to the gate, the palace guard had a strong eye, and saw that it was the carriage of the Marquis of Rong'an's mansion by the light, and was busy reporting to the housekeeper, while taking the Lin family and Mrs. Xie to Xie Chang'an's courtyard.
Because several masters went to the palace, and most of the maids also went, the house was quiet, except for the candles swaying in the wind, like a deserted house, which made the Lin family sad, and Mrs. Xie's face became more and more sunk.
It wasn't until they got close to Xie Changan's courtyard that it was brighter, but there were only two maids guarding outside the house.
Without waiting for the maid to report, the Lin family pushed the door with the old lady Xie, and the Lin family spoke first, "An'er, grandmother and mother have come to see you." The two maids outside the house looked at each other, and when they saw the door closed again, they came back to their senses and hurriedly prepared tea and snacks, and the courtyard was deserted again.
The housekeeper hurried over, and the two maids also brought tea and snacks. But the housekeeper knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered, and the two maids looked puzzled and tentatively called Libai, but still no one responded.
Just as the housekeeper was about to push the door in, Yifu Wei ran over out of breath, breathless and said, "Uncle Wang, the princess was picked up by Mrs. Rong Anhou......"
As if unexpected, but reasonable, the butler was not surprised, just bowed his head, sighed almost inaudibly, and walked out hurriedly.
"What? Chang'an was taken back to the Marquis of Rong'an? Prince Zhong concealed her footsteps and suddenly smiled bitterly, "That's fine, it's better for Chang'an to return to Rong'an Houfu, Mrs. Xie will definitely take care of Chang'an, maybe Chang'an will be fine in a few days, and I'll take it back when it's ready." After a pause, he continued, "It's just a matter of letting others say a few words of affection from Prince Zhong's Mansion, but it's worth ......."
Xiao Yu seemed to wake up from a dream, and whispered, "Chang'an? Where did Chang'an go? As he spoke, he was about to run to Xie Chang'an's previous courtyard, but fortunately he was stopped by Prince Zhong in time, "Yu'er, Chang'an is home, not in the house." ”
"Home?" Xiao Yu was at a loss, "Yu'er's house is Chang'an's home, why isn't Chang'an in Yu'er's house?" ”
Prince Zhong's eyes were red, and she only said: "Yu'er is not good to Chang'an, Chang'an will go home, Yu'er, if you want Chang'an, you will go and pick up Chang'an." There is compassion in his eyes, I don't know if it's for Xiao Yu or Xie Chang'an.
Sima Yan, who was silently looking at the mother and son, finally spoke, and her posture was very low, "Lord, it's late at night, and the princess wants to rest, if you think about the princess, why don't you go and pick up the princess back tomorrow." ”
Xiao Yu turned his head to look at Sima Yan, as if he suddenly remembered something, "No, don't go, Chang'an is bad, Yu'er doesn't look for Chang'an, go home, let's go back!" When the words fell, when she walked to the gate first, Sima Yan was stunned for a moment, glanced at Prince Zhong and Princess Zhong, and hurriedly followed Xiao Yu, "Lord, it's dark, you go slowly." ”
Prince Zhong looked at the backs of the two of them in the distance, and her eyes were secretive.
At this time, the lights in the Zhuyi courtyard were bright, Mrs. Xie, Lin and Xie Changan were all in the house, and Li Bai also followed back and waited in the house.
"An'er, don't cry anymore!" Old Mrs. Xie's old voice of pity came out, mixed with the low whimpering of others, I don't know if it is the Lin family or Xie Changan, "Don't be afraid, there is a grandmother, look at that person who is not long-eyed and dares to bully you!" ”
Lin choked up, "An'er, my poor An'er, how can the king of Anjun be so ruthless!" But he couldn't cry and couldn't speak.
Old Lady Xie's majestic and angry voice sounded, "Don't mention those people again, it's not that my Rong'an Hou Mansion can't afford to raise a young lady, why bother to suffer such a wretch!" ”
And Xie Changan didn't speak from beginning to end, just whimpered.
Always staring at Xiao Yu and Xie Changan's secret piles, they hurriedly returned to the palace to report to their respective masters.
The emperor clapped his hands and applauded, "It's all such a scene, even if Xiao Yu is not stupid, Rong Anhou can't help him, and ...... next" with a meaningful look.
Concubine Wu Shufei's chuckle came from the Changxin Palace, "Then Xie Chang'an is nothing more than that...... Now it depends on how my cousin is, and I think the emperor and my father are satisfied. When the words fell, the faint cry of the baby came into her ears, making Concubine Wu Shu's face immediately frightened, and she hurriedly called the palace people to go out to hunt ghosts.
The palace people are also frightened, but sometimes people are more frightening than ghosts, such as the hideous face in front of no one, the palace people can't, so they have to go out.
At the same moment, there was also a crying baby crying in Concubine Murong Hui's bedroom, Concubine Murong Hui just frowned slightly, her face was still so cold, as if she didn't care, but her eyes were surging, she glanced at the distance that melted into the night, and went straight to the dormitory.
Xiao Yu, who returned to the house, was also making a fuss, only lying on the bed for a while, then got up and ordered the carriage to be prepared, muttering that he wanted to see Xie Changan. Sima Yan, who hurriedly came when she heard the movement, comforted softly, "Lord, it's late at night, and I think the princess is still resting, so it's better to ...... tomorrow."
"Yu'er is going, Yu'er is going now!" The words fell, and he hurriedly ran out, "Chang'an, Chang'an is home, it must still be that Chang'an, Yu'er is here!" ”
Sima Yan looked intently at Xiao Yu who was gradually moving away, her expression was unknown, and for some reason she turned her head to look at Xiao Yu and Xie Changan's house, suddenly laughed at herself, and went straight to her courtyard.
Everyone else says that Xiao Yu spoils her now, but only she knows what it is......
