Chapter 35: A Brief Change (2)
The rain paused under the porch for a moment before walking towards him.
"My cousin is back!" With a smile on her face, she still had the heart to ask him, "Did the errand go well?" ”
Li Shiding looked at her for a long time and nodded.
"It went well." He said.
"It's good if it goes well." Instant Rain breathed a sigh of relief, her smile faded, and she became more and more agile.
"That's right!" As if she suddenly remembered something, she glanced back at the hall and said to him, "My cousin is late!" I didn't even have time to accept the marriage decree of the Empress Dowager Liang! Your Highness will keep it for you, go in and ask him!" ”
She had a happy look on her face, and she couldn't see the slightest flaw. Li Xiao had no doubt that after a while, he would be able to hear He Xi's words from her mouth.
"I already know about it." He said: "I met Chaoyang in front of him, I asked him, and he said that before the Empress Dowager Liang gave the marriage, my aunt had deliberately blocked it. ”
Hearing this, Instant Rain's body trembled invisibly.
Li Lin continued: "But in the end, this decree still came down. ”
The calm gaze shrouded her sparsely, and she was not very impatiently waiting for a horse's feet.
However, in her, he found nothing.
Instant Yu sighed and said worriedly: "At your age, it's time to start a family." Among these famous ladies of the right age, the girls of the Qin family are always more suitable than those of others! ”
He pressed step by step: "Is it suitable for the person that Pan Guifei intends to promote?" ”
A little distress flashed between his eyebrows, and finally said: "Your Highness can't help it, the Qin family intends to marry, and it's hard to shirk it." ”
It's not easy to shirk, it's not that it can't shirk.
Li Xiao thought to himself.
It's not that His Highness can't help it, but someone has no intention.
"I see." After a moment, he nodded, "You go down." ”
The tension around him subsided completely, but Instant Rain really felt the bitterness at this moment.
The most bitter part is unspeakable.
She blessed herself and said, "The slave and maid are retired." ”
The two staggered by, one inward and one outward.
The sound of the opening and closing of the temple door was particularly muffled. Li Lin stepped into the hall in one step, but he didn't notice that on the left side of the hall, a figure slowly moved out.
Pei Yao came to the Yuguang Hall in the first afternoon, dropped something, and couldn't find it in the afternoon, so he came to look for it in person. Unexpectedly, he unintentionally inserted willows into the shade, and he actually bumped into such a scene.
Is it the same as the instant rain......
The white hosta tapped on the tiger's mouth, and she thought silently, if it was an instant rain, how could Xiao Di say that she couldn't find a suitable candidate?
Could it be ......
She had a doubt in her heart, came and went silently, and quietly returned to the Combined Palace. When Xiao Di came to dine with her in the evening, she was still distracted from time to time, secretly thinking about it.
"And what?" After putting aside his chopsticks for a while, he suddenly asked.
Pei Yao raised her eyes, and saw that Instant Yu was bringing tea and serving him to rinse her mouth, she glanced at this girl deliberately, then shook her head, and smiled perfunctorily.
Xiao Di has never been a person who likes to get to the bottom of things, seeing this, he didn't ask much, and changed his words, saying: "Speaking of which, in the past two days, there has been a major incident in the DPRK and China, I don't know if you have heard of it." ”
When she heard this, she was really interested, and waited quietly for him to speak.
Xiao Di told her that a few days ago, Pan Cheng was dismissed as an official of General Wei because his subordinates were making trouble in the city.
Pan handed over the right?!
At first glance, she was taken aback.
"General Wei, ......" For a moment, I saw her pinching her fingers, and said with a smile while calculating: "Twenty-one-year-old General Wei." When Pan Cheng worshiped General Wei, he was praised by the whole world, and it was said that he was the youngest Wei general since the founding of the Great Liang Dynasty. He was twenty-three years old. Now, it's a new record! ”
Xiao Di saw that although there was a smile on her face, there were a few wisps of sadness between her eyebrows. He couldn't tell what was going on, he knew that this sorrow was for the baby, and there was something wrong in his heart.
"What, worried?"
Just a few words, but it is inexplicably rushing.
Pei Yaowei was really worried.
Such a young general Wei, who was born in a big family, rarely has a reputation, it is inevitable that he will be red-eyed, not to mention the temperament of being the son of heaven, but how many people in high positions will not become his elbows and armpits?
It's just the tone in which Xiao Di asked this...... She was dazed, she felt that something was wrong, but she didn't understand the reason, she looked at him in a daze, and let out an alert 'ah', her eyes were full of questions, what's wrong with worrying?
This look became more and more annoying, Xiao Di wanted to say something, but found that he didn't seem to have any words to say, so in anger, he only glanced at her, turned his head sideways and didn't speak.
Is it crazy? She thought to herself, but at the moment, she couldn't spare any extra energy to care about his headless anomaly. After thinking about it, she asked: "What was Pan Quan's attitude when he was dismissed?" ”
"There is resentment, but I still hand over power."
"The people under his command are arsoning with horses and making trouble...... Pei Yao sneered: "Pan Shizi governs the army, he is ruthless and stern, this position of General Wei, from the second year of Yan Ping to the present, he has been in control for six years, among them, the emperor has not thought of taking back his authority, but he has not been able to do so, why is it so smooth just because of this little thing?" ”
As she spoke, the smile on her lips faded, and she looked at him with a hint of meaning, and said slowly: "The reason, Your Highness, should be clear, right?" ”
"Pan's thoughts, this king thinks he can understand." He said, "But you, I don't understand that way." ”
- Xiangyu, should you know how Pan Cheng governs the army?
Will she know again, does Xiao Zhu want to take back the position of General Wei?
There are some things that can be explained insightfully, but there are some things that cannot be known unless you have a deep understanding.
Who gave her this understanding?
Pei Yaowei was thrilled by his words, and just wanted to ask something, but heard him mention the previous words instead: "Since you care about your brother so much, I will tell you one more thing." ”
She was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to react, he was referring to Xiangying.
He said: "The eldest princess of Fanchang has reached the age of marriage, and Xiao Zhu is busy choosing a son-in-law for her." ”
Xiao Ji...... Rationed to a baby?
As soon as this thought came out, Pei Yaowei felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Fanchang's girl, she is a good person, but her temperament has never been what she likes. If it is really rationed, it is definitely not her who is wronged.
In addition, Xiangying was originally favored by her for Qing Tan, although there was a mistake in front of her, Qing Tan and him, most of this life is lost, but at this moment, Xiao Zhu came out of thin air...... always made her feel a little uncomfortable, as if she had been cut off.
And between her thoughts, the appearance of her low eyes and frowning was all seen by Xiao Di.
Without delving into the reason for the uneasiness in his heart, he said with two points of unrealized sarcasm and asked, "Are you dissatisfied with this sister-in-law?" ”
Pei Yaowei smiled faintly, and asked instead of answering: "This candidate, I'm afraid that the one who is not satisfied is the Queen Mother, right?" ”
Hearing this, he sneered and said, "When will the Queen Mother be able to control Xiao Zhu?" ”
Also. She said in her heart that if Empress Dowager Liang won Xiao Chase, then in this world, I am afraid that there will be no Princess Yecheng, let alone Queen Renyi.
On this day, Pei Yao entered the palace to ask for peace, and went out of Heshou Palace, not long after arriving at Xiancui Palace, Qian Chu hurriedly came in and replied, saying that it was news from the previous dynasty that the third old lady of the Pan family was sick and died, and the prince of Guan County asked for his life, and returned to his hometown with his wife and children to mourn.
This is not surprising at all. Pei Yaowei thought silently.
"Returning to my hometown for funeral?" Xiang Min Dai frowned, and then asked, "What does the emperor mean?" Accurate? ”
"Your Majesty has repeatedly retained, saying that the Duke of Guan County is the pillar of the country, and suddenly leaving Beijing is to make the Son of Heaven have no arm and cannot feel at ease. Let Guan Jungong go back and think about it again, if he can stay, it will be the same to hang Bai Shouxiao in Beijing. ”
Min Dai sighed and waved her hand, "Got it, you go down first." ”
He was ordered to retreat.
Min Dai pondered for a moment, and looked at her worriedly: "This matter ......"
Pei Yaowei took her words: "Eldest sister doesn't have to worry about this matter. ”
She said: "The prince of Guan County must leave, and His Majesty must not leave anyone." ”
"But what if the Pan family takes advantage of the opportunity to run for funeral and never return it?"
Pei Yao smiled, "Eldest sister, you can take the word 'if' away." The Pan clan is here, even if they want to come back, they are afraid that they can only come back lying down. ”
Min Dai was startled, her palm resting on the small case, and her armor made a sound.
"You mean, the Pan family, will it be the opposite?"
Not only will the Pan clan rebel here, Pei Yao said secretly, if you want to come, it will be Xiao Zhu, and I am afraid that I will wait for him to rebel. Otherwise, where would there be a legitimate opportunity to get rid of Pan? As for delaying Pan Xian's return to his hometown, it is estimated that he is leaving time for himself so that he can prepare for the response......
That's just that, you don't have to let Min Dai know.
She comforted: "Eldest sister rest assured, everything, you come and go, see the move, the Pan family has a calculation, whether it is the emperor or our Xiang family, it will not be unprepared." After a pause, he continued: "The eldest sister is in the harem, and this big stall of the emperor's family affairs is enough to cause a headache, and the rest of them will be relieved and tossed by those people in their positions!" ”
When she mentioned the emperor's family affairs, Min Dai remembered what Xiao Zhu had mentioned to her the day before yesterday, and for a while, her face was not better, but worse.
"Have you heard about the eldest princess Fanchang's choice of son-in-law?" She asked.
Pei Yaowei nodded, "I heard." I heard that His Majesty is proud of the third brother and intends to give marriage. ”
After she finished speaking, she saw Min Dai shaking her head and sighing, so she deliberately asked tentatively: "What, isn't the eldest sister optimistic about this marriage?" ”
"It's not that I'm not optimistic." Min Dai said: "It's Changchu herself, and she has no intention of Princess Shang." ”
This is an unexpected answer.
It's not that Empress Dowager Liang doesn't allow it, it's not that Xiao Ji is unintentional, it's Xiangying herself...... Don't want to?
"It seems that the eldest sister has already mentioned this matter to the third brother?" She asked, "Did the third brother say it himself, don't you want to?" ”
The words landed, tears entered, and Fu said: "Niangniang, princess, the son of the world has arrived!" ”
