As soon as Empress Dowager Li said this, Pei Yao's heart immediately beat a drum - it seems that eighty percent of her anger about Xiao Di was spread to Heshou Palace, and the queen mother was going to persuade her.

In the spirit of ending the topic as soon as possible, she simply bowed her head and admitted her mistake, with an excellent attitude: "Queen Mother, this incident is the fault of the son, and the son-in-law should not ......"

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Empress Dowager Li.

"It's not your fault." She said: "Di'er came back from Xianling early in the morning, and just before you came over, he came to see the mourning family. ”

"The mourners know why you two are arguing. It's his fault this time, and I don't blame you. ”

Pei Yao was stunned, "Queen Mother......"

Empress Dowager Li sighed and said, "It's also the negligence of the mourning family." The mourning family only looked at your face before, but they didn't think about the relationship between you and Empress Renyi, I didn't expect you to be so grateful. I always remember the time when she gave you a name to keep you safe. Now that I think about it, I wanted you to marry Kui'er at that time, and you were afraid that you were very reluctant, right? ”

That's too reluctant. She thought. But if there is any other way, who will be willing to marry him!

"Erchen doesn't dare." She said softly.

Empress Dowager Li smiled silently, her thoughts flew farther away from the past, and she said after a while: "The turmoil in the later years of the first emperor, from the royal family affairs to the state affairs of the world, which ...... There are many inhumane facts. Even if the mourning family felt sorry for their son, but what Kui'er did back then, those things between him and Empress Renyi, and between Pan Tian, the mourning family couldn't tell for him. It was his fault to repent of his marriage, and it was even more his fault to collude with a married woman. ”

Pei Yaowei lowered her head and was silent for a long time before she said sincerely: "These words of the queen mother are very respectable. ”

There are not many people who are in a high position and are parents, but they can still say a fair word.

When Empress Dowager Li heard this, she waved her hand and smiled, "Where does it come from, the mourning family is also fighting with this old face today, so they dare to mention these old things to you!" ”

Pei Yaowei wanted to ask Empress Dowager Li not to say any more, no one knew those old things better than her, so she really didn't have to listen to them again. But before she could ponder her words, Empress Dowager Li said again: "Actually, you shouldn't know it." When the first emperor had the intention of hiring a princess for him, he didn't think about it, but directly issued an edict to marry the daughter of Duke Pei to enter the East Palace. But this edict was not issued, and was stopped by the mourning family first. ”

This, Pei Yaowei really doesn't know.

So, before the words of the blockade came out, she first asked: "Are you dissatisfied with her?" ”

Empress Dowager Li shook her head, "The mourning family is not dissatisfied, but ......" After a pause, she continued: "When Empress Renyi was in the boudoir, she was famous for her cool temperament and good bones, such a person is better to be like a princess, looking for a husband with a noble background but an official position that does not have to be too high, and is glorious and rich, but she does not have to be tied, and she can be happy for a lifetime." ”

"From the beginning of the mourning family into the palace, they were deeply favored by Queen Dexiao, and they really didn't want to see this aunt and nephew trapped in the palace one after another, which damaged their freedom for a lifetime. So at that time, the mourning family privately made a statement to the first emperor that among the nobles of the family, the crown princess would be widely selected. ”

Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Li looked bitter, lowered her head and stroked the tassel tassel on the rosary and said, "I never thought about ......"

Pei Yaowei asked almost immediately: "Didn't you think about it?" ”

I never thought that I should come, and I can't hide from it.

Empress Dowager Li said: "The first emperor issued an edict and ordered the important ministers of the family, all those who have unmarried daughters of appropriate age are selected by portraits into the palace. ”

She said: "He only looked at that one, and then he didn't look at it anymore, and he chose her directly." At that time, just because he didn't look any further, there were rumors in the palace that the prince was not very interested in choosing a concubine, so he just pointed at it. Pei Gong's daughter, lucky is lucky, her portrait is listed at the top. Otherwise, if someone else is changed, the position of the crown princess will not be hers. ”

Yes. Hearing this, Pei Yao's heart also began to feel bitter. Perhaps, it would be better to change others, and if you don't have this 'luck', you won't have the misfortunes in the future.

But Empress Dowager Li followed up and said: "The mourning family also thought like this at the beginning, and also intended to let him choose someone else. But Di'er said that as soon as he saw the portrait of this girl, he felt comfortable and satisfied, since his eyes were like this, he was content, and he was willing to cherish the fate. The mourning family has no way, even if they always feel that it is not very appropriate in their hearts, but they have to sigh that Si Tiantai has some ability, even the first emperor laughed and said, thousands of turns, tossing in vain, sure enough, the two of them are destined and cannot be separated. ”

Destiny......

It was fate. Pei Yaowei secretly thought that he and him were probably destined, and in their past and present lives, they would not be able to escape this catastrophe.

At that time, the Empress Dowager Li still mentions it, as if she still remembers it vividly, "He liked her so much at that time, and the mourning family once felt that the girl was the cure for him, and they would get married in the future, and the two of them would definitely be in harmony and love each other." ”

"I don't want to, but in the end, I ended up like that."

How joyful the situation is at the beginning, how heart-wrenching the final result is. The hall fell silent, Pei Yaowei silently tightened the veil, trying to adjust her breathing, trying not to show her flaws.

She didn't know what Empress Dowager Li said.

And at this moment, she wasn't sure if she wanted to know.

After a long time, a soft sigh came from her ears, and the Empress Dowager Li returned to the right words and said: "The son of the mourning family, when he was young, he didn't treat the inspection, and it was ridiculous to call me a mother. In the past few years, it has been restricted, but it is just ...... Overkill, too, is not a good thing. ”

Hearing this, Pei Yaowei couldn't hold back for a while, and blurted out self-deprecatingly: "Probably, Pan Tian is the cure for him." ”

Empress Dowager Li looked at her.

Pei Yao smiled weakly, and apologized: "The queen mother forgives her sins, and the son is in vain for a while." ”

Empress Dowager Li said: "Hearing you say this, the mourning family has settled down a lot. ”

Between husband and wife, jealousy and resentment are better than hearts.

"The mourning family knows that you mind the things in his past and the person he remembers in his heart. Don't talk about you, the mourning family also minds. No mother wants to look at her son's heart and keep remembering the woman who ruined his life for half of his life. However, no matter how much he minds, he is still the son of the mourning family, which cannot be changed. Saying that, Empress Dowager Li looked at her solemnly and said, "Just like the two of you in this life, you are all tied together husband and wife, and you can't change it." ”

"You two still have a lifetime to live, and instead of dwelling on the past, you should look to the future." Empress Dowager Li asked: "Lu'er, can you be a favor to help the queen mother, promise the queen mother, and help him let go of Pan Tian?" ”

No. She thought, I don't want to.

But the words were: "What if ......" She looked at Empress Dowager Li, for a long time, her face fell, and she asked with eagerness and despair: "What if he doesn't want to?" ”

- Even if I am willing to be selfish once and fulfill my own selfish affairs, can I really afford to lose a second time?

She asked herself.

But Empress Dowager Li said: "Of course he may not be willing, but that's his business." ”

Pei Yaowei was slightly stunned.

Empress Dowager Li held her hand and said, "The more unwilling he is to put it down, the more difficult this game of chess will be, and in the end, the day you win, the happier the result will be." ”

"And his feelings for you will be even more unbreakable."

When I came out of Heshou Palace and returned to the palace, it was already afternoon.

Along the way, Pei Yaowei thought about what Empress Dowager Li said today, and suddenly remembered what she had said earlier when she talked with Empress Dowager Li after the incident of the red flower embroidery screen in Chenghui Palace.

At that time, she said that she was the kind of person who had to win once she got into a chess game.

Now that I think about it, in my past and present lives, I seem to have done this myself.

Wherever she has planned, the goal she wants to achieve has been achieved nine times out of ten.

In her previous life, she only lost two games, one in Xiao Di and one in Xiao Zhu.

In this life, the latter, she just wants to fight with it endlessly, but the former ......

If so...... Determined to win this game, can I win? She clenched her hands and thought silently before the carriage stopped.

When I entered the mansion, I realized that Xiao Di had returned home. Pei Yaowei was pondering, I don't know if Empress Dowager Li had persuaded him as she persuaded herself, and at this time, she listened to Yu Xu and said again: "Niangniang, Princess Qi is here." ”

"Who?" This news was obviously unexpected by her, "Princess Qi has returned to Beijing?" ”

Yu Xu bowed: "Princess Qi arrived at the mansion one step ahead of you, I heard that the princess didn't even return to the Qi Mansion when she returned to Beijing, so she came directly." As she spoke, she leaned closer and said in a low voice: "Right now, Princess Qi is talking with His Royal Highness the King of Chu in the Yuguang Palace, and the slave maid is watching, and when Princess Qi comes over, she doesn't seem to be in a good mood." ”

can tell Yu Xu to say that she is not in a good mood, which means that Wen Lian is angry.

Pei Yao's whole heart lifted, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't go to the Hebi Hall at all, and went straight to the Yuguang Palace.

All the way, she wondered, what could have happened?

"Princess." Outside the Yuguang Palace, Instant Rain saw her, stepped forward, and greeted her.

Her voice was calm, not the slightest hint of disrespect, but it was cold.

Pei Yaowei glanced in the direction of the main hall, frowning slightly, "Princess Qi is here?" ”

Instant Rain said yes, followed closely, but when she wanted to go inside, she staggered and stopped.

"Niangniang," Instant Yu looked at her and said, "Your Highness has something to talk about with Princess Qi, so the princess should wait outside the palace." ”

Pei Yaowei looked at her for a moment, and suddenly smiled lightly, "I heard the girl say that when Princess Qi came to the door, she didn't seem to be in a good mood?" I don't know if the girl knows that the princess is here, what is the matter? ”
