Chapter 449: Surrender (2)
Empress Yu's solid mask only cracked for a moment, and then returned to normal in a blink of an eye, looking at Xie Mingxi's gaze a little deeper: "What an honor the status of the Queen Mother!" You dare to talk nonsense and wantonly slander the queen mother, you are really bold and reckless! ”
Xie Mingxi raised his eyes and looked back, the volume was not high, but the words were like a thousand words: "Niangniang is in charge of the palace, how can the secrets in Cining Palace be hidden?" ”
"It's just that the emperor is extremely filial and respectful to the Queen Mother. Niangniang had suspicions in her heart, but she didn't want to touch the matter. lest the queen mother lose face and disappoint the emperor, be angry, and embarrassed. ”
"I'm willing to expose it. The queen mother didn't have to ask, and when the rumors spread into the palace, the mother ordered to quell the rumors and maintain the reputation of the queen mother. ”
"In this way, it will not hurt the relationship between the mother and the emperor, but also completely suppress the arrogance of the queen mother."
"What I ask for, for Niangniang, is just a gesture. I hope that Niangniang will agree! ”
Then, in peace, he said no more.
……
Empress Yu looked at Xie Mingxi fixedly, her heart was turbulent, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.
This Xie Mingxi, who is not yet fourteen years old, has such a subtle insight, which is terrifyingly keen!
Most of the palace maids in Cining Palace are young and beautiful, and there are a few of them every once in a while. Empress Yu had already planted eyeliner in Cining Palace, although there was no real evidence, she had already guessed a few points.
It's just that, as Xie Mingxi said, Emperor Jianwen was very filial to Empress Dowager Li. Her daughter-in-law has been stumbling by her mother-in-law for more than 20 years. Emperor Jianwen was caught in the middle of it, and he was in a dilemma. Most of the time, she was angry and gave in.
In the past six months or so, she has become increasingly powerful in the palace. Emperor Jianwen also often defends her face as a queen. However, this does not mean that Emperor Jianwen will sit idly by and watch her deal with Empress Dowager Li.
She must not expose this matter herself!
If the rumors came from outside the palace and from the Yongning County Lord's Mansion, it had nothing to do with her, the queen.
And all she has to do is to stand by coldly and come forward to "defend" Empress Dowager Li at the right time. When the time comes, it will not only humiliate the Empress Dowager Li, but also hinder the relationship between husband and wife.
What Xie Mingxi asked for was really nothing to her. With the power of her middle palace, protecting Xie Mingxi is just a matter of words.
How could she refuse such a good thing when it was delivered in front of her?
"Xie Mingxi," Empress Yu slowly opened her mouth: "I really underestimated you in the past." ”
Such a method is really shocking.
Xie Mingxi smiled faintly: "What I ask for is just self-preservation." Why should you be afraid? ”
Empress Yu's eyes flashed slightly, as if she was considering.
Xie Mingxi said again: "In order to understand my predicament, Niangniang secretly trained the beauty to dedicate it to the emperor. Even though I love the house and Wu, I am still grateful. ”
"I am Niangniang's student and the only disciple of Master. In terms of feelings, I will unswervingly stand on the side of my mother. In the future, when I marry the Seventh Prince, I will call my mother the queen mother. In terms of intimacy, it is far better than others. ”
"Niangniang really doesn't have to have scruples."
So, after talking about the conditions, start talking about feelings again?
Empress Yu tugged at the corners of her mouth, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared in her eyes: "If I shouldn't, what will you do?" ”
Xie Mingxi responded calmly: "Then I have to go out and invite Master to come in and intercede for me." ”
Empress Yu: "......"
Yao remembered that when she was young, she was thirteen or fourteen years old, and she was really far behind Xie Mingxi, who was black-hearted and thick-faced.
Empress Yu couldn't help but sigh: "The future is terrifying!" ”
Xie Mingxi smiled slightly: "Thank you for your praise!" ”
……
After a while, Xie Mingxi exited the dormitory.
Gu Shanchang had been waiting outside, and immediately stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "What did you say to Niangniang?" Why did you say it for so long? ”
Xie Mingxi smiled casually: "The Xie family and the Huainan Royal Mansion fell out, and I am afraid that the Huainan King will be angry and will attack me." I specially begged my mother to protect her. The mother has already responded. ”
Every word is true. It's just a clever omission of some of the inside information.
Gu Shanchang was not suspicious, and only smiled: "Such a trivial matter, I and Niangniang casually mentioned it, where do you need to ask solemnly." ”
Xie Mingxi said with a smile: "I know what the master wants to do with me. It's just that it's about the Xie family, and I personally came forward to ask for sincerity. Niangniang should also go down, and the master doesn't have to worry about it. ”
Then, Xie Mingxi went back to his bedroom to rest.
Gu Shanchang couldn't rest assured, and went to talk in front of Queen Yu again.
Empress Yu and Xie Mingxi had a tacit understanding, and they never mentioned the conditions reached in private, and said with a smile: "Mingxi is smart and clever, better than you and me when we were young." You've really taken in a good disciple. ”
Gu Shanchang smiled when he heard this, his eyes full of smugness.
Empress Yu also smiled slightly.
On the bright side, it doesn't hurt for Gu Shanchang to get a glimpse. As for the secret darkness, there is no need for her to know. Let her always be a proud, upright Gu Xianzhi!
Come to think of it, Xie Mingxi also thinks the same way.
The two coincide on this point.
……
The king of Huainan ordered people to keep an eye on the movements of the Xie Mansion at all times.
The Xie family was closed to recuperate from their injuries, and the slaves did not go out. Every day, only the steward in charge of kitchen procurement went out of the house, and he kept his mouth shut outside, and there were familiar Beppu stewards who inquired about the county lord of Yongning and Xie Jun, and they all kept silent.
Although the rumors have not subsided, it is no wonder that the Xie family is no wonder.
Even the King of Huainan himself does not have the ability to block everyone's mouths. Putting forward this condition before was nothing more than deliberately making things difficult for Xie Mingxi.
The king of Huainan simply complained about his illness for a few days and hid from the rumors.
The annoying King of Linjiang came to visit in person, with a fat and greasy face, and his fat and fat trembled when he smiled: "Brother Wang is really self-contained!" Those villains outside had nothing to do, chewing their tongues, but Brother Wang didn't tear their mouths! He fell into the palace and pretended to be sick. ”
King Huainan drank the medicine and responded lightly: "My heart has been weak recently, and I need to calm down for a few days." Why did it come to your mouth and become a feigned illness? ”
"You can eat indiscriminately, concubines can sleep at will, and you can't talk nonsense."
The last sentence is ridiculing the king of Linjiang for being lustful and gluttonous.
King Linjiang grinned: "I now know that Yongning actually has the same interests as me, I bought two beautiful concubines in my house, and I am planning to give one to Yongning!" ”
King Huainan: "......"
King Huainan couldn't drink the medicine he deserved, so he put down the bowl with a bang and said sharply: "You go out for me immediately!" ”
"It's just a joke, why be angry like this!" King Linjiang laughed and left with a smug face.
The king of Huainan was angry that he did not eat for a day.
A few days later, out of nowhere, another rumor spread.
The county lord of Yongning was taken into Cining Palace since he was a child and raised in front of Empress Dowager Li. The habit of grinding mirrors is all because of the Empress Dowager Li.
