Chapter 229: Concubines
Although the queen did not say anything, no one present was stupid.
The eleventh princess wants to marry Xiliang far away, and they naturally have to marry Xiliang far away in order to take care of her.
The queen was telling them that they were all chosen as the concubines of the eleventh princess and married Xiliang with the eleventh princess.
Mo Liangchen's face was bloodless, she looked at the queen blankly, and for a moment she only felt that her mind was blank.
The two county lords of Changle and Changning, Ying Yingyifu, said softly: "We will follow the will of the queen and do our best to take care of the eleventh princess." ”
Apparently the two of them knew in advance.
The only ones who don't know are Xie Langhua and Mo Liangchen.
The queen's gaze fell on Xie Langhua intentionally or unintentionally, and a slight chill passed under her eyes.
Sure enough, everything was as Xie Langhua thought, she didn't see the slightest surprise on her face, and she glanced at the queen without a trace.
Even though she did that thing very secretly, and there was no clue to be found, how powerful it was for the queen to stand in the harem for many years.
The queen was already suspicious of her, and she probably knew that it was she who did it, although she did not kill the ninth princess herself, but it was because of her that His Majesty had to kill the ninth princess.
The princess married to another country, and the princess of the concubine was made as a concubine, and the princess of the queen was only Sima Qing, because there were not many princesses in the concubine, and there were almost no marriages of the right age, so the concubines selected for Sima Qing were all the county lords of the Sima clan.
Now that the eleventh princess is married to Xiliang, the county lord of the Sima clan, there are only a few of them of the right age, and the concubine who is selected as Sima Qing's concubine can no longer be the concubine of the eleventh princess, and it is reasonable to choose a few suitable women from the courtiers.
Although the princess is not as noble as the princess of the concubine, she can choose the daughters of several ministers as concubines, which is also a precedent to follow, and there is nothing wrong with it.
To be a concubine for the eleventh princess to marry Xiliang, Xie Langhua was naturally unwilling.
But the queen couldn't help her, and she said no.
is Mo Liangchen is the concubine of the prince of Zhenguo, and her identity is far above her, and she cannot disobey the queen's will.
The queen looked at them and said slowly: "This palace knows that you are unwilling, your fathers are all serving the country in the previous dynasty, and you are marrying Xiliang as a concubine, and you are also serving the country, if you can exchange it for Dayan and Xiliang will never fight again, up to the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, down to Dayan hundreds of thousands of people will always remember you." ”
Mo Liangchen pursed her lips, and she raised her eyes to look at Xie Langhua.
I saw Xie Langhua very calmly said to Queen Yingying Yifu: "If you go back to the queen mother, it is naturally incumbent on me to serve the country, but I and the Mo family are both the daughters of military generals, and the Mo family and the Xie family are guarding the border for Yan Country in the east and west, but I am afraid that something will be wrong, dare to ask Her Majesty the Queen Niangniang if you know about this?"
Others categorically didn't dare to question the queen like this, but Xie Langhua knew that the queen was coming at her, even if she begged the queen to let her go, why should she bow down and be small!
Your Majesty is so wise, how could she let her marry Xiliang with Mo Liangchen as the concubine of the eleventh princess.
Mo Liangchen is okay, Xie Chang'an is guarding Yanyu Pass, which is adjacent to Xiliang, and has fought with Xiliang several times, in case Dayan and Xiliang fight again, what if Xiliang uses her to threaten Xie Changan?
Your Majesty would not have been so stupid, and if he had known, he would not have consented.
Mo Liangchen didn't expect Xie Langhua to be so bold and dare to question the queen in name, her back stiffened, and she couldn't help but sweat for Xie Langhua.
The queen's eyes sank, she glanced at Xie Langhua casually, and smiled faintly: "Your Majesty has entrusted this matter to the palace, and the will of the palace is naturally Your Majesty's will." ”
Xie Langhua slowly lowered his head.
Mo Liangchen looked desperate.
"You're the best to be sensible. The queen looked at Xie Langhua and Mo Liangchen with kind eyes, and the county lord of Changle and the county lord of Changning naturally did not dare to disobey her will.
The eleventh princess always lowered her head and didn't say a word, so that people couldn't see her expression clearly, but she was afraid that she didn't want to do it in her heart.
Since the queen has already said this, Xie Langhua has nothing to say.
She didn't believe that His Majesty would agree to her marrying Mo Liangchen to Xiliang.
"Prince Xiliang is in a hurry to return to the country, the wedding date is set for the day after tomorrow, the time is very rushed, from today onwards you will stay in the palace, there is a teacher to teach you the rules, when you arrive in Xiliang, don't lose the face of our Yan country. The queen said earnestly.
"Yes. "Xie Langhua is a blessing.
Seeing her like this, Mo Liangchen could only follow her Yingying Yifu, but her movements were very stiff.
The queen glanced at Xie Langhua meaningfully, and said lightly: "Time is limited, so you can go down and learn the rules from Mama Xi!"
As soon as the queen's voice fell, two elderly grandmothers came up and said to them, "Ladies and gentlemen, please go with the old slave!"
Xie Langhua looked at the queen Yingying Yifu, followed behind the two grandmothers, she looked up at Mo Liangchen, and Mo Liangchen reacted.
The two county lords, Changle and Changning, also followed.
The queen sent the eleventh princess back, and only a few of her cronies were left in the dormitory.
"The queen mother, Changle and Changning, as the concubines of the eleventh princess, are naturally all right, but Xie Langhua and Mo Liangchen are both daughters of military generals, and the Xie family and the Mo family guard the border for Yan Guozhen, Your Majesty is afraid that she will not agree. "Mama Jiang is the old mama next to the queen, and only she dares to say such things.
The queen turned her head to look at Mama Jiang's eyes narrowed, and sneered: "Mama knows everything, how can this palace not know, don't worry! No one has to marry Xiliang far away." ”
The queen's eyes were cold, and she said such a sentence.
Mama Jiang didn't understand the deep meaning of her words, but she didn't dare to ask more.
Out of the queen's bedroom, Xie Langhua raised her eyes and looked around, but she didn't see Fang Huanyun, she couldn't help frowning.
The maidservants who entered the palace with Mo Liangchen are also gone.
Xie Langhua and Mo Liangchen glanced at each other, and their faces were full of doubts.
Seeing the doubts on their faces, Mama Jiao Xi smiled and said, "The people brought by the two noble ladies from outside have been released, and people outside are not allowed to spend the night in the palace, so naturally there are people in the palace to serve you." ”
Mama Xi placed them in the Lingyun Palace, which was next to the queen's bedroom, and the two county lords did not place them together.
It's already morning, and it's time for lunch soon, so Teach Mama Xi to let Xie Langhua and Mo Liangchen rest for a while.
Mo Liangchen dismissed the maidservant girl in the house, grabbed Xie Langhua's hand, and said with red eyes: "Sister Xie, I don't want to marry Xiliang far away." ”
Mo Liangchen burst into tears as he spoke.
"I don't want to. Xie Langhua said slowly, she lowered her eyes and glanced at the little bean coiled in her wrist.
She always felt that this matter was strange everywhere, the queen and His Majesty have been husband and wife for decades, and there is no one in the world who knows His Majesty better than the Queen, and even she knows that His Majesty will not let her marry Mo Liangchen far away from Xiliang, how can the queen not know?
Why did she insist on going her own way?
If His Majesty vetoes it, won't it be a loss of face for herself!
"Sister Xie, otherwise, let's escape!" Mo Liangchen glanced around, looked at Xie Langhua and said in a low voice.
Xie Langhua smiled immediately, she looked at Mo Liangchen intently and said, "Escape, where are we going to escape?" I'm afraid that we won't even be able to get out of the palace. ”
"If I can't escape, there will be one death, and even if I die, I won't marry Xiliang far away. Mo Liangchen said with a resolute expression.
Xie Langhua looked at her and smiled: "It's easy for us to die, but where do we want to leave the family?"
Xie Langhua knew that what Mo Liangchen said was just angry words.
Mo Liangchen's face collapsed instantly, she grabbed Xie Langhua's hand tightly, and said with a sad face: "Sister Xie, then what should we do?"
To be honest, Xie Langhua didn't know, she shook her head gently.
Soon the maidservant brought up lunch, eight dishes and one soup, full of color, flavor and flavor, and it made people have a great appetite when they looked at it.
When the meal was set, the maidservant withdrew.
Only Xie Langhua and Mo Liangchen were left in the house.
Xie Langhua glanced at the food lightly, Mo Liangchen walked slowly to the side of the low table with a sad face, looked up at Xie Langhua and said, "Sister Xie, let's eat first, even if you need strength to escape." ”
Mo Liangchen picked up the chopsticks as he spoke, and took a piece of bamboo shoots, Xie Langhua's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Wait!"
She has seen the methods of yin damage in the palace, and she always feels that this matter is not so simple.
Mo Liangchen looked at her inexplicably.
Xie Langhua walked over slowly, she showed her wrist, and Xiaodouzi instantly became energetic.
"Ahh
"Don't be afraid, Xiaodouzi doesn't bite casually. Xie Langhua glanced at Mo Liangchen, stretched out his hand and put the little bean on the low table, and the little bean sniffed every dish.
Mo Liangchen looked at Xiaodouzi with shocked eyes.
Xiaodouzi's tail swept away, landed firmly on Xie Langhua's wrist, and nodded at her.
"It's ready to eat. Xie Langhua looked at Mo Liangchen and smiled faintly, the sense of smell of animals is far better than that of humans, after these few days of getting along, she and Xiaodouzi have a very tacit understanding, and Xiaodouzi has already told her that there is no problem with these dishes.
"Sister Xie, you are too careful, right! Since the queen let us be the concubines of the eleventh princess, how could she poison us. Mo Liangchen looked at Xie Langhua and said.
Xie Langhua smiled and didn't speak, if it weren't for the fact that she had experienced a lot, and she didn't know that people's hearts were sinister and scary, Mo Liangchen was the daughter of the princess of Zhenguo, and she was very well protected, although she had a flamboyant temperament, she was an ignorant of the world.
Xie Langhua only ate a little.
"Hey, why is my life so bitter!" Mo Liangchen sighed one after another, obviously looking sad, but he ate a lot more than Xie Langhua.
After lunch, Mo Liangchen lay on the soft couch and sighed vigorously.
Xie Langhua thought that after lunch, Mama Jiao Xi would come to teach them the rules, but she didn't know that Mama Jiao Xi didn't show up at all.
They sat in the room for half an hour.
Just then there was a sound of footsteps outside.
Xie Langhua was slightly stunned, Mo Liangchen glanced at her and said, "Xu is teaching Mama Xi to come!"
Xie Langhua stood up slowly, there was no expression on her face at all, she had already recorded the footsteps of Mama Xi, and the footsteps outside were obviously a little heavier, clearly the footsteps of a man.
"Squeak!" the door opened.
Li Sheng, the prince of Xiliang, walked in with a smile in a black robe.
Xie Langhua's eyes froze.
Mo Liangchen was startled and stood up.
