Chapter 157: Quid pro quo

"Uh......" Mrs. Wang looked at Xiao Ruyue in surprise.

Do the queen's eyes want to penetrate people's hearts?

is obviously a young woman of eighteen or nineteen years old, but her eyes seem to have gone through countless vicissitudes, and her eyes are full of deep sophistication, which makes people shudder.

"As Mrs. Wang said, you won't sit still, and this palace will naturally not either." Xiao Ruyue's slender fingers, which were as tender as ginger, stroked the teacup, and said word by word: "Mrs. Wang, you have to think clearly, which of the two things is easier, you pierce the identity of this palace, or this palace makes Wang Jieyu's life difficult." ”

"My family reflects the moon, she doesn't know anything." Mrs. Wang's voice was lowered, and her daughter's position in her heart was always higher than anything else.

At the beginning, she sent Yingyue into the palace, initially because of the Empress Dowager's intention, but at the same time, it was also her intention.

Xianggong is upright, and there are many people in the court who look at him unpleasantly, especially the party of King Wei, who has formed a wide range of henchmen to exclude dissidents, and has secretly looked for opportunities to disadvantage him several times.

At that time, there was no more appropriate way than to send Yingyue into the palace.

The king has been on the throne for a few years, and the harem has always been a decoration, and sending her daughter to the palace is tantamount to letting her stay alone and widowed, and she can't bear to be a mother, but this decision is not to be done.

She has always felt guilty about her daughter.

In any case, she must not put her daughter in danger again.

"The queen doesn't want this secret to be publicized in advance, and the courtiers also hope that my family Yingyue will not have one more enemy in the palace." Mrs. Wang said slowly.

This is the bottom line she can compromise, and it is the only thing she can fight for.

Xiao Ruyue took a shallow sip of tea from the teacup, and said with a smile: "This palace is in charge of the harem, but as long as Wang Jieyu keeps to herself and doesn't do anything beyond the rules, this palace can't do anything with her." What does Madame Wang think? ”

Madame Wang was silent.

Xiao Ruyue gently put down the tea cup, and the porcelain and sandalwood collided, making a soft sound of "bell", which echoed for a long time.

She took Qiu Ci's hand and stood up.

Mrs. Wang was still kneeling, looking down at the ground, unable to see what her expression was.

Xiao Ruyue walked past Mrs. Wang, walked behind her, and paused slightly, "If the Wang family is willing to cooperate with the palace, Wang Jieyu's life in the harem will naturally be several times better than now." ”

Mrs. Wang's back stiffened, and she refused without hesitation: "It's impossible!" ”

Even if she felt guilty about Yingyue, she must not take the Wang family as a bet.

"It's good that Mrs. Wang has made a decision." Xiao Ruyue said lightly, unable to hear joy and anger.

She paused, and then said—

"Out of this door, I am still a member of the Ministry of Water of the Ministry of Industry."

Qiu Ci picked up Mrs. Wang as if nothing happened. The door opened, and Xiao Ruyue took the lead and walked out.

Wang Shangshu seemed to be afraid that others would bully his wife, so he waited outside early.

Seeing Xiao Ruyue, he greeted him, "Situ, what did my wife tell you?" How did you say it for so long? ”

Look at his anxious face, unaware because he is here to catch the traitor.

Xiao Ruyue couldn't hold back her laughter for a while, and she didn't hide her true feelings at this time.

Wang Shangshu was embarrassed, "Situ, what have you said in it for so long, won't you want to talk about concubines again?" ”

Conquest?

Xiao Ruyue slowed down, and suddenly remembered that there should be a few concubines in Wang Shangshu's mansion, but she had never seen her since she entered the mansion.

Listening to Wang Shangshu's words again, those concubines were all arranged by Mrs. Wang for Zhang Luo.

Xiao Ruyue's eyes flashed thoughtfully, patted Wang Shangshu's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, my lord, Madame came to us in the hope of helping the eldest prince find a good match." Ling Qianjin is a noble person in the palace, and if she wants to match the woman of the eldest prince, she naturally has to consider it in many ways. “

Wang Shangshu was obviously relieved when he heard this, "My Wang family has nothing to see, as long as the girl's family background is innocent, and she has mutual interest with the boss of my family, it doesn't hurt if she is a civilian woman." If there is anything wrong with the autumn girl, you may wish to introduce it. ”

Xiao Ruyue's face was slightly gloomy, and she said: "Our family's autumn words are not matchmakers. In a word, he politely rejected Wang Shangshu.

Wang Shangshu was stunned for a moment, only to realize that he had said the wrong thing, "Rude, rude, I said the wrong thing." How could the autumn girl be a matchmaker. I'm quick to talk for a while, Situ Mo is strange. ”

At the moment, the three aunts and six mothers are the lowest people in society, and it is a great insult to call other people's young girls matchmakers.

Qiu Ci and Mrs. Wang also walked out, and Wang Shangshu quickly walked towards Mrs. Wang, "You are really, the boss's marriage does not need to be in a hurry." You see, Situ came to the door for the first time to talk to people about this kind of thing, is it too hasty. ”

Mrs. Wang had already finished the conversation between Wang Shangshu and Xiao Ruyue, Xiao Ruyue gave her a look, and she picked up.

"You see, Situ already has a beautiful woman by his side at a young age, and we are a few years older than Situ. His life's events have not yet been settled, so you are not in a hurry. ”

Wang Shangshu was said by his wife, but he had nothing to say.

After a while, he muttered: "I'm also in a hurry, others are as big as their Yue, and their sons are running all over the ground." ”

Xiao Ruyue couldn't help laughing.

"My lord, madam, it's not early, and the lower officials have to leave first."

"Don't you sit down again, it's still early." Wang Shangshu kept the guest with a serious face.

Xiao Ruyue tui said: "The lower officials have to send Qiu Ci back first, for fear of delaying the afternoon." ”

Wang Shangshu is not good at staying any longer, Mrs. Wang's face is a little reluctant, and the words she just said in it have some impact on her.

The three members of the Wang family sent Xiao Ruyue and Qiu Ci to the door, Qiu Ci got into the carriage, and Wang Qiyue, the eldest son of the prince, was still reluctant to give up.

Xiao Ruyue took his look into her eyes and got into the car.

The carriage faded away.

Madame Wang looked at the carriage with a deep look in her eyes.

Since the monarch ascended the throne, the harem is fictitious, not close to women, and everyone in the Great Xia government and the opposition knows it.

But since the Tanglin princess entered the middle palace, the king has favored her. It is rumored that the queen mother used the fox charm technique to flatter the king, and she had several contacts with the queen mother, and did not think that the queen would be the one who flattered.

After today's events, she realized that the king is the king of a country, but after all, he is an ordinary man. would fall in love with a woman like the queen, and it is reasonable to want to hold her in the palm of her hand and give her everything.

How could the poisoning in the harem come from her?

The queen is such a handsome person, and she doesn't care about such things at all.

In the galloping carriage, Xiao Ruyue leaned on the carriage and closed her eyes to recuperate, very tired.

"Niangniang, you told Mrs. Wang everything, is it really okay?" Qiu Ci looked at Xiao Ruyue puzzled.

"It's okay, Madame Wang is a smart person." Xiao Ruyue slowly opened her eyes.

In terms of intelligence, idiots like Yao Ziyan are not as good as half of Mrs. Wang. I really don't know how she was deceived by Yao Ziyan's goods in the first place?

Now that I think about it, she was blind and stupid back then.

"She knows what she can and can't say, as long as she still cares about the survival of her daughter and the entire Wang family."

Xiao Ruyue smiled and added, "Moreover, if you really expose Situ Wu's identity, it will not benefit her or the Wang family at all, but will make Wang Shangshu fall into the whirlpool for no reason." She was so dedicated to her husband and children that she would never do that. ”

Qiu Ci didn't react for a while, and looked at Xiao Ruyue in a daze.

She looked like she was asking, "What does this have to do with the Wang family?" ”

Xiao Ruyue straightened her cuffs and said lightly: "At the Qionglin banquet, it was Wang Shangshu who took the initiative to ask the king for an order to let Situ Wu enter the Ministry of Industry and serve as a member of the Ministry of Water. ”

Autumn words suddenly realized. At the same time, my heart is also extremely shocked.

The actions of the queen mother are interlocking, step by step, such thoughtful thoughts, how can ordinary people think of it?

She suddenly understood that there was a reason why the king favored the mother.

There are few women in the world who can compare to Niangniang's wise city.

The carriage soon arrived at Taibai Building, and the veiled Qiu Ci said goodbye to Xiao Ruyue and then entered Taibai Building.

In the eyes of outsiders, this scene is the rumored mysterious third lady of the female shopkeeper of Taibai Building, who is reluctant to give up with the staff of the Ministry of Works. In other words, the young new member of the Ministry of Works, Wai Lang, was able to win the favor of the three ladies, and many people were envious and jealous of this person.

When Xiao Ruyue was about to get into the car, she caught a glimpse of a very familiar sedan chair not far away.

She instructed Qingqing to follow and walk towards the sedan chair.

The owner of the sedan chair saw her coming from a distance and urged the sedan chair man to hurry up, but Qingqing was faster, and she blocked the way of the sedan chair, and the people in the sedan chair had to order the sedan chair to stop.

"Brother Du, I'll leave when you see me."

The person who walked down in the sedan chair, Sven Junyan, had a slight shame on his face, and was a little embarrassed, who was it not Du Ziheng.

Du Ziheng said hesitantly: "Si... Brother Situ Xian, what a coincidence. ”

Xiao Ruyue raised her eyebrows and remained silent.

Seeing this, Du Ziheng could only smile bitterly, "I didn't expect Brother Situ Xian to know the famous female shopkeeper of Taibai Building." ”

"It's just a coincidence." Xiao Ruyue understated and asked, "It's still early, Brother Du went out so early, is he going to Taibai Mansion for recreation?" ”

"This ...... I...... Neither is it. Du Ziheng stammered, "It's not for fun, or it's a coincidence...... It's also a coincidence, when I saw you coming to pick up people, I guessed that you would come over. ”

He said it vaguely, and he felt embarrassed after speaking, so he turned his face away and didn't dare to look at her.

Xiao Ruyue was speechless for a while.

He's still thinking nonsense.

Because of her embarrassing identity, she originally tried her best to avoid Du Ziheng and was an official in the same dynasty, but she performed her own duties, and there was almost no chance of meeting her, and she didn't want him to do anything stupid, so she stopped him.

But at the moment, she can't say this identity, it's really embarrassing.

When I go back, I will scold that dog emperor!

It's all good things he did.

Yu Wenhe, look at you as an emperor! What is going on?
