Chapter 465: Ill-intentioned
The next day, before Luo Qingluan went out, he heard that people from the Marquis of Weiyang's Mansion had come.
"Miss, the chief butler of the Marquis of Weiyang Mansion is here and said that he has brought you something." When Dai Yue came in, Luo Qingluan had just finished eating breakfast, and when she heard this, her eyes lit up: "So fast? ”
I only went into the palace yesterday to tell Su Yi, I didn't expect to come this morning, she is usually not familiar with the people of the Hou Mansion of Weiyang, and she is only friends with Su Yi, since the Hou Mansion has sent someone here, what else can it be except to send her a strange stone from the sky?
Fortunately, Nalan had just left, otherwise, he would have been touched. When asked, she either lied or concealed it, which was troublesome. Luo Qingluan secretly rejoiced, and hurriedly asked Dai Yue to invite the other party in.
After a while, Su Ming, the housekeeper of the Marquis of Weiyang, came, a white and pure middle-aged scribe, who had no philistine spirit at all. If you don't listen to him report his identity, I'm afraid that Luo Qingluan will still treat him as a private school teacher.
"Princess Chu, our old lady heard from the queen mother that you need this strange stone to be useful, and I was afraid that you would be in a hurry, so I sent a contemptible person to send it." Su Ming politely, neither humble nor arrogant, pointed to a big mahogany box beside him, the two subordinates were tired and sweaty, which showed how heavy the contents of this box were.
"Thank you so much."
This box is two feet square, the four corners are wrapped in copper skin, and the box is also carved with exquisite patterns, which shows that the items in it are valuable. The lock was hung on it, and Luo Qingluan stepped forward to open it, and it was indeed a strange-shaped dark stone inside.
The edges and corners have been smoothed out, with a slight sense of roundness, and the meteorite is covered with uneven pits, like an old man in his last years, with traces of time on his face. Luo Qingluan stretched out his hand and touched it, the touch was hard and cool, and if you looked closely, you could see that there were silver particles as fine as dust on it. The reflection flickered and flickered, like the stars on the black canopy.
It is still a beautiful meteorite, although Luo Qingluan can't tell what kind of meteorite it is, but he thinks that it should have a beautiful appearance, so it was paid tribute to the palace, and then given to the Marquis of Weiyang.
Seeing that the strange stone outside the sky was not too big, Luo Qingluan stretched out his hand and shook it, but he didn't expect it to shake. Seeing this, Su Ming said: "Be careful, the princess, this strange stone weighs more than three hundred catties, even if it is an ordinary man, one person can't lift it." ”
"No wonder." Luo Qingluan was secretly surprised, even if she had a wide vision in her previous life, she rarely saw such a large piece of meteorite. She just wanted to forge a sword, and the meteorite was so big that it was enough.
The strange stone outside the sky finally arrived, and Luo Qingluan asked Su Ming to go back to thank Mrs. Wei Yanghou, saying that he would definitely come to the door another day to thank him. After Su Ming and his party left, they immediately asked people to transport this box to King Lin's Mansion, preparing for Chen Si and Liu Mu to hurry up forging and refining.
On the other side, someone from the Marquis of Weiyang's mansion quietly entered the palace.
As soon as she heard that her mother was going to visit her, Su Yi was pleasantly surprised.
From the day she became the queen, her grandmother and mother told her to be careful, serve the emperor well, and be like a queen. Su Yicheng was terrified, remembering the words of her grandmother and mother, except for sending someone to send some rewards after the ceremony, she has not returned to her parents' house until now.
Originally, Nangong Qing mentioned it once, but Su Yi naturally said empathetically that he didn't need it for the time being, and let him arrange government affairs. Later, when he became more and more busy and had to discuss plans against North Vietnam, Nangong Qing had no time and almost forgot about it.
Su Yi doesn't miss her family, but she knows that her every move is watched, and she is more and more careful. But since she knew Nangong Qing's heart for her, she naturally became a lot, and sometimes she thought that if Nangong Qing was busy and didn't have time to accompany her back, then she could go back by herself. Otherwise, it's better to let the family members enter the palace to talk.
Just thinking about it, who knew that Mother Yang would come.
"Mother, why are you here?" Su Yi was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly greeted her. Seeing that the Yang family was about to salute her, Su Yi immediately helped her up: "There is no need for so many courtesies, how can a mother salute her daughter." Anyway, no one is watching, so my mother doesn't have to be polite. ”
Yang was very pleased, took Su Yi's hand and sat down, but without waiting for the palace maid to serve tea, he gave Su Yi a look, the latter was a little puzzled, but still retreated. The surroundings quieted down, and Su Yi asked, "Mother hurriedly entered the palace, is there something wrong?" ”
Yang lowered his voice, looking mysterious and cautious: "Didn't Niangniang send someone back yesterday to say?" Said that the princess of Chu wanted your grandfather to stay that strange stone outside the sky. ”
As soon as she heard this, Su Yi also became nervous, and hurriedly asked: "Yes, mother, Princess Chu is a little anxious, so her daughter sent someone back overnight to say, could it be that grandmother didn't agree?" ”
If this is the case, wouldn't it be a breach of appointment with Luo Qingluan? She suddenly became worried.
"That's why my mother came." Yang's face suddenly sank, and he looked like he hated iron but not steel: "Ah Yi, why didn't you tell your mother about these things, this is related to your status and the reputation of our Weiyang Marquis Mansion, how can you be so confused?" ”
Confused by Yang's words, Su Yi frowned, completely unaware of what her mother was saying: "What is the mother talking about, why can't my daughter understand?" ”
"I still don't understand! Are you so heartless? How could I give birth to a daughter like you......" Yang almost stretched out his hand to Su Yi's forehead in anger, and his hands were raised, only to realize that now her daughter is the queen's honor, even if she is her daughter, she can't be so ignorant of etiquette.
Yang complained: "If it weren't for the Yiyang County Lord himself, the whole family would have been kept in the dark by you." Ah Yi, you say, does Your Majesty still like this Luo Qingluan? You have to be careful, my mother heard that the woman is very skillful, not only ......"
"Mother, where did you go, the county lord of Yiyang told you? When did she go to our Hou Mansion? Su Yi then understood what was going on, it was actually a ghost caused by Yu Chi Lianqing, and she didn't know what she said to her mother.
I wanted to explain it well at the moment, but the Yang family had already gotten Wei Chi Lianqing's words, and they didn't listen to Su Yi at all, but felt that she had been deceived: "Could it be that the county lord of Yiyang will not be famous, and go to the Hou Mansion to say bad things about Princess Chu in person?" Isn't she afraid of spreading rumors to annoy the King of Chu? ”
Yang sneered, and his liver hurt because his daughter couldn't figure it out, and he was still angry for his rival in love: "Moreover, the county lord of Yiyang said it himself, it was the eldest princess who couldn't see it, so she stood on your side and wanted to help you say a few good words. You—You're simply ...... Want to be angry and die? ”
Breathing non-stop, his chest rose and fell, and when he thought that his daughter was so easy to become the queen, but before he could sit in a secure position, someone came out to steal the emperor's heart. If it were someone else, the Weiyang Hou family would not care at all, but this woman was Luo Qingluan, and when she thought of her past deeds, the Yang family and Mrs. Wei Yanghou were worried.
Su Yi blushed, and she didn't know how to explain to Yang: "Mother, it's really not like this, Qingluan has always been good friends with me, and she is sincere to her daughter." If it weren't for her, His Majesty wouldn't have taken a fancy to me at all when he was the crown prince. ”
Saying that, Su Yi also let go out, and told her about Luo Qingluan helping her compose poems and showing off in front of Lin Daru and others and a noble girl. After all, it was cheating, and it would damage her reputation if it was passed on, but at this time, Su Yi couldn't care about it, and said to her mother, she just wanted to help Luo Qingluan prove it.
When the Yang family heard this, not only did they not change their opinion of Luo Qingluan, but they were even more disgusted at the moment: "There is still such a thing?" Ah Yi, you are really confused, from this point you can see that this woman has good means, and she even did this kind of thing, you don't imagine, if you were exposed at the beginning, who was unlucky? Could it still be Luo Qingluan? ”
"You, you still regard that woman as a confidant, you are so angry that you are a mother." Yang coughed violently, his face was so red that he almost couldn't breathe.
Su Yi couldn't explain any more, so she could only help Yang pat her back and said anxiously: "Mother, don't get excited, be careful." ”
"It's all you stupid girl, if your mother is angry, you are unfilial!"
"Mother, is it okay for your daughter to be wrong, don't be angry."
After nagging for a while, Yang gradually eased up, Su Yi poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over, Yang took it and drank it, put down the teacup and didn't speak for a long time.
Knowing that her mother's anger was all due to listening to Wei Chi Lianqing's instigation and provocation, coupled with Nangong Wan'er's involvement, her mother and grandmother and others did not know what to do, for fear that she would be deceived, in case the emperor's heart was not here, she was afraid that her Weiyang Marquis Mansion would decline and never regain its former glory.
Su Yi was very helpless, if it wasn't for the accident of her grandfather's death, then suddenly, how could she be so passive? Without the support of her mother's family, even if she is a queen, she must be cautious, for fear that she will make any mistakes, cause dissatisfaction among the courtiers and embarrass His Majesty.
"Mother, I know everything you said."
In order not to make the Yang family angry again, Su Yi could only say against his will: "I will take more time to take care of Your Majesty in the future, you can rest assured." ”
Yang's face recovered a little, and he held her hand and said, "Ah Yi, we are all for your happiness, understand?" Mother and your grandmother will not harm you. ”
Nodding, Su Yi said secretly, I'm afraid that I will have to be more careful with Yu Chi Lianqing and Nangong Wan'er in the future. Just tell Luo Qingluan secretly, if you come to her again in the future, don't be discovered by the people in the princess's mansion.
As if thinking of something, Yang said mysteriously: "By the way, didn't Princess Chu ask you to want the strange stone left by your grandfather?" We thought about it and sent it to her anyway. ”
Su Yi was very strange, since her mother and grandmother were so wary of Luo Qingluan, why did they send their treasured things over. I only heard Yang Shi look around, see if anyone was there again, and then whispered in her ear: "The princess still has a way, she said let's send it over as usual, but if Princess Chu really wants this thing, it will definitely be unexpected, and there will be a good show to watch at that time." ”
Shocked, Su Yi said, "Mother, did you do something on the strange stone that day?" ”
"Or my baby daughter is smart, she guessed it with a guess." Yang looked a little proud, and didn't hide it from her: "Mother doesn't know how to get it, anyway, the princess sent someone to get it last night, saying that as long as it is sent to Princess Chu this morning." As for what will happen, my mother doesn't know, so I'll wait and see. ”
Suddenly in a hurry, Su Yi grabbed Yang's hand: "How can this be, mother, if something happens to Qingluan, there will be big trouble." Have you forgotten that when the Emperor Taishang was there, he misunderstood Qingluan, and as a result, the soldiers of the King of Chu came to the city and almost ......"
"Anyway, the consequences are unimaginable! No, I'm going to tell Qingluan and tell her to be careful......"
