A farce, where are Xiao Ningyu and Nangong Wan'er still in the mood to watch the play? His face sank, and he flicked his sleeves and walked away angrily, leaving a group of noble ladies laughing or crying, and when the two of them walked away, they finally couldn't help but chatter.
Luo Qingluan shook his head, and then left with Dai Yue.
However, she did not leave the palace, but changed her route to Xizhao Palace, and met Queen Wang by the way.
When Queen Wang knew that Luo Qingluan was coming, she was very happy to invite her in. This little prince is only a few months old, and it is the time when the snooze grows violently, and she is reluctant to take the nurse with the little prince, basically doing it herself, which shows that she loves this son to the heart.
"Qingluan, come and see, the little prince is sleeping well." Mothers all over the world are the same, they always feel that their children are the loveliest, and Queen Wang is no exception, and when she sees Luo Qingluan coming, she can't help but offer treasures.
However, the queen herself is dignified and virtuous, showing off her wisdom, and the emperor of Western Chu is not bad, it can be seen from the appearance of several sons, although the little prince is only a few months old, he is also born white and fat, with big eyes and long eyelashes, and he must be a beautiful man when he grows up in the future.
Luo Qingluan touched the face of the little prince and said a few words to the queen, the little prince seemed to sense that someone was coming, and after opening his eyes and playing for a while, he opened his mouth and cried.
"I think I'm hungry." The queen was already very experienced, so she immediately asked the nurse to take the little prince down to feed.
At this time, Queen Wang and Luo Qingluan had time to sit down and rest quietly for a while. For Luo Qingluan's visit, Queen Wang naturally understood her reason, and she did feel that Luo Qingluan was wronged by Princess Duanrou, but the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, and she could not directly express it to Emperor Xichu, so she could only give euphemistic advice.
"Qingluan, is this matter of Princess Duanrou upsetting you?" The queen asked lovingly, wanting her to wait.
Luo Qingluan didn't say yes, but said softly with a look of apology: "Queen Mother, I'm here to compensate you, I hope you don't blame me." β
"What's the matter, how can you pay for the good end, speaking of which?" The queen was very surprised, and she couldn't figure out what was going on.
When Luo Qingluan told what had just happened, Queen Wang couldn't help laughing, and laughed out loud. Then reacted, Queen Wang's face gradually sank: "I'm afraid that this matter has nothing to do with Wan'er, if she hadn't arranged these scenes, who else in the palace would be so bold?" Alas...... It was also Her Majesty and I who spoiled her since she was a child, which made her so lawless. Qingluan, you can't be blamed for this, it's really to blame, Wan'er can't run away first! β
"Thank you for not being blamed." Luo Qingluan had long expected Queen Wang's attitude, and it was also respectful to say this, and with psychological preparation, she didn't have to worry about Nangong Wan'er suing.
"Thank you, thank you, this palace also wants to thank you for not blaming Wan'er for messing around." Queen Wang smiled slightly.
As he was talking, a palace maid came to report: "Queen Mother, Princess Duanrou is here." β
Queen Wang's eyes picked: "Why is she here?" β
Luo Qingluan smiled faintly: "I'm afraid that Princess Duanrou is also here to ask the queen mother for intercession." β
"Hmph, knowing that the King of Chu is already married, and he still wants to come to Western Chu, and he also made it clear that he wants to marry him, doesn't this make the King of Chu a negative man, and make His Majesty embarrassed?" Queen Wang's face sank: "Just say that the palace is uncomfortable, don't see it, let her go back." The palace maid was about to leave, but Luo Qingluan stopped: "Niangniang, let's see you." Princess Duanrou made it clear that she was coming, and she was Princess Dongwan, as the queen, if you don't see you today, won't you see you tomorrow? Don't be embarrassed for me, it's not worth it. β
Hearing Luo Qingluan understand the righteousness so well, Queen Wang liked her more and more: "Alas, Qingluan, I really wronged you." Okay, let Princess Duanrou come in, this palace wants to hear what she has to say. β
Luo Qingluan nodded, not at all aggrieved.
Ever since she came back from the front line, she has never been a cowardly person, no matter who it is, it is absolutely impossible to snatch what belongs to her!
Soon, Xiao Ningyu came with her maid Xiaohong, it was obvious that she had changed into a palace dress, wearing a light blue gauze skirt, covered with a Hangzhou silk embroidered lotus bottom gown, long hair shawl, wearing a flying phoenix golden hairpin on her head, and a ruby in the phoenix's mouth was scorching and shining, which was priceless.
Lotus moved slightly, Xiao Ningyu walked in slowly, with a smile on her face that was neither humble nor arrogant, her nobility and appearance complemented each other, and she really deserved to be the first beauty in the four countries. It's just that when she was about to salute Queen Wang, she found that there was a person sitting next to her, it was Luo Qingluan, and Xiao Ningyu's very good demeanor suddenly turned into surprise and dissipated.
"Why are you here?" With a look in his eyes, Xiao Ningyu opened his mouth and asked, completely forgetting that Queen Wang was still there.
Luo Qingluan raised her eyes and said, "Why did I come to ask the queen mother to say goodbye, it seems that you don't need to report to Princess Duanrou, right?" What does the princess care about this? β
Only then did she realize that she had lost her temper, Xiao Ningyu couldn't care about making trouble with Luo Qingluan, and Ying Ying bowed down: "Niangniang forgive me, Ningyu originally came to ask Niangniang to say goodbye, and by the way, I wanted to meet the little prince, but I didn't want Niangniang to have guests, I was surprised for a while, please don't mind." β
Just like this, Queen Wang herself has a preconceived idea, and she doesn't like Xiao Ningyu even more, but after all, for the sake of her identity as Princess Dongwan, it's not really good to be angry. She smiled and said gently: "It's okay, the princess came from afar, and the palace was supposed to set up a banquet for the princess, but it seems that Wan'er has already done it for the palace, and the palace will be relieved." This is Qingluan, the concubine of the King of Chu, although she is the younger generation of the palace, but the palace has always liked her, so she came to accompany the palace to talk, but I didn't expect Princess Duanrou to come today, but it was a coincidence. β
The words were faint, not blaming Xiao Ningyu, but it also showed that Luo Qingluan was close to her, and the relationship between her was undoubtedly revealed.
Xiao Ningyu also wanted to come to Queen Wang to intercede, and she was moved by affection to benefit her, but who knew that Queen Wang had made it clear from the beginning, saying that she had a good impression of Luo Qingluan, and she understood that things were not so simple.
has already made up her mind to marry Nalan Ye, Xiao Ningyu will not give up so easily, and she is not depressed, but she is very unhappy when she thinks of Luo Qingluan's methods just now, if she hadn't seen her here with Queen Wang, I am afraid that she would have made trouble a long time ago.
"It's a coincidence, I just listened to the play with Miss Luo Er just now." Her face did not change, Xiao Ningyu smiled: "I didn't expect her to come to greet the queen mother, it's really a coincidence." β
"Sit down and talk." Queen Wang asked the maid to bring a stool, Xiao Ningyu sat down after thanking her, and smiled at Luo Qingluan, and she couldn't tell that she had ever had a holiday with her.
Queen Wang also showed the bearing of the mother of a country and chatted with her casually. What is Dongwan's customs, how is Emperor Dongwan, and how is the crown prince Xiao Yuqi, but in the end, the topic is still inevitable, and the purpose of Xiao Ningyu's trip is still mentioned.
"I heard Your Majesty say that in the letter of state brought by Princess Duanrou, Your Majesty of Dongguan intends to let the princess marry me Xichu?" Queen Wang looked a little surprised: "Although my Xichu is not as strong as Dongwan, it is also a good place, but for the princess Jinzhi Yuye, it is not her hometown after all, it is too far away, how can Your Majesty Dongwan be willing to marry the princess far away?" β
Xiao Ningyu was just about to answer, but Queen Wang had already looked at Luo Qingluan, and sighed to herself: "If it is Wan'er, don't say that this palace is reluctant to marry her far away, but when I think that she is about to get married, I can't be happy under my knees in this palace, and this palace is sad, alas, ......"
"Niangniang's motherly heart, the third princess naturally understands that even if she marries, she will often come to see her mother, and she doesn't need to be sad." Luo Qingluan said.
Wiping her tears gently, Queen Wang looked at Princess Duanrou: "I think it's my woman's kindness, I don't understand His Majesty Dongwan's thoughts." β
It was obvious that she and Luo Qingluan felt the status of herself and Luo Qingluan in Queen Wang's heart, but Xiao Ningyu didn't care. She didn't want to please Queen Wang in the first place, it didn't matter if she liked her or not, if it weren't for thinking that she could play a role in front of Emperor Xichu, Xiao Ningyu wouldn't bother to come to see her.
"Niangniang misunderstood, in fact, Ning Yu ......" Xiao Ningyu pretended to be shy, lowered her head, her fingers stirred, and she looked embarrassed: "Ning Yu really wants to marry Xichu, and my father has persuaded me many times, but Ning Yu has made up her mind, and my father can't agree." β
"Oh, does the princess really like Xichu so much?" Queen Wang pretended not to know the inside story: "I can let the princess marry far away from her hometown." β
"The scenery of Western Chu is beautiful, and it does have a unique flavor compared to Dongwan, but Ning Yu is not completely for Western Chu, but ...... There is a person, he has been in Ning Yu's heart for five years, Ning Yu is still unforgettable, for her, Ning Yu is willing to give up everything and marry far away to Xichu. β
Glancing at Luo Qingluan, instead of being moved by Xiao Ningyu, Queen Wang felt a sense of disgust. This woman, not only is not ashamed of robbing other people's husbands, but brazenly says that it is for the sake of true love. Queen Wang saw too many concubines in the harem who tried their best to attract the emperor's attention, and she was most disgusted with this kind of unscrupulous woman who robbed men, but Xiao Ningyu committed her taboo, and she didn't know it.
"Oh, I don't know whose boy is so good, and he is liked by the princess." Queen Wang said lightly.
"Nalan Night, the king of Chu, is a dragon and phoenix among people, a great feat, a god of war in the world, and a dream man in the hearts of countless girls." Xiao Ningyu became more and more shy, her face turned red, and she said softly: "Ning Yu also heard about the heroic appearance of the King of Chu in Dongwan, and her heart fell, and she couldn't like others anymore. If he can marry the King of Chu in this life, Ning Yu will die without regrets. β
"It turned out to be the King of Chu?"
Without hiding her surprise any longer, Queen Wang lost her voice and said: "Princess, this is not very good, the king of Chu has been married to a concubine for more than a year, doesn't the princess know about this?" β
"I know, but Ning Yu doesn't mind."
Finally raised her head, Xiao Ningyu boldly looked at Queen Wang's eyes, and confessed her heart word by word: "I beg the queen to look at Ning Yu's infatuation and fulfill Ning Yu." As long as Ning Yu can marry the king of Chu as his wife, my father will not only give a rich dowry, but also be willing to send 100,000 troops to help Western Chu quell the war. β
