Chapter 124: Flower Viewing Party
But now, knowing that the Queen Mother is uneasy and kind, she can't refuse, after all, she is the Queen Mother, she has just secretly threatened to save the face of the Queen Mother, there is only one Zhuqing, Chu Nian does not dare to guarantee that if she continues to gain an inch, the Queen Mother will not jump off the wall in a hurry.
Seeing Chu Nian nodding in agreement, the Queen Mother smiled contentedly, and then drove Chu Nian away without hesitation.
When Chu Nian and Zhu Qing left the Zhengyang Hall together, the two parted ways.
The flower viewing will be at noon, at this moment, tossing back and forth for an hour, Chu Nian is troublesome, so he simply went to Zhengyang Hall to visit the queen.
Mama Bai originally didn't let Chu Nian in, but Chu Nian realized that the queen might be in a bad state, so she pretended to leave, and took advantage of Mama Li's inattention to get into the queen's bedroom.
Entering the dormitory, Chu Nian saw the thin queen lying on the soft collapse, she seemed to hear Chu Nian's footsteps, she turned her head and smiled slightly in the direction of Chu Nian.
"Nian'er is here, come and sit next to the palace."
If it weren't for the fact that those beautiful eyes were still godless, Chu Nian would almost think that the queen's illness had been cured, but now although the queen was just looking in Chu Nian's direction, she was scattered, as if looking farther through Chu Nian.
Chu Nian stepped forward according to his words, and listened to the queen's gentle voice and continued: "There is a stool next to it, you can sit on it yourself, you don't have to be formal."
There was indeed a chair on the side of the soft collapse, Chu Nian seemed to be able to see the emperor sitting on it and sighing every day, if it was this emperor who loved his wife, Chu Nian had no doubt that he would put down the early dynasty and rush back to the harem because of the queen's words.
It's a pity that Wen Wan and Virtuous are as wise as the queen, and she would not do such a willful thing.
Just like now, it is clear that her husband and son are alive, but she can't get out because she is busy with business, she is sick in bed, almost on the verge of dying, but she has no complaints about her husband and son.
Chu Nian felt a little ashamed, if it were her, she would never be so considerate, gentle and understanding as the queen.
As if those blank eyes had seen through Chu Nian's thoughts, the queen was so gentle that she touched Chu Nian's hand: "They are busy with them, I haven't done anything for them in my life, and I shouldn't make trouble for them when I'm dying, right?"
"Mother's ......"
Chu Nian pursed his red lips, and his subordinates held the queen's hand, but he was careful not to tighten it, for fear that as soon as he tightened it, the fragile person in front of him would turn into a star and shatter.
"I'm very satisfied with you coming to me from time to time."
A gentle smile choked at the corner of the queen's mouth, and the love revealed in her godless eyes made Chu Nian's eyes red.
Chu Nian diverted the topic a little unnaturally: "Niangniang doesn't blame the courtiers for ignoring Mama Bai's obstruction......"
Halfway through her words, she saw that the queen sighed helplessly and said: "I didn't want you to see my appearance, lest you also worry, you are all people who want to do great things, how can you worry about me as a dying person."
Saying that, the queen's thin face showed a smile again, although the current queen was tortured by illness to the point that she was not human, but with such a smile, the once glamorous and unparalleled demeanor was still faintly visible.
"But I'm still very happy to hear that you are coming, and I can have a daughter who is still thinking about me before I die, even if I die, I can be blind."
Chu Nian's face froze, if it was the first time he mentioned it, Chu Nian could only think that the queen was really sorry because there was no princess Chenghuan under his knees, but this second time was a serious mention of the queen......
Chu Nian lowered his eyes and looked at the withered hand that was holding his delicate little hand tightly, and was silent.
Out of the Zhengyang Palace, the eyes were sour by the still scorching sun in early autumn, Chu Nian came back to his senses, and looked back at the huge Zhengyang Hall behind him, the Zhengyang Hall at this moment was like a shadow behind the sun, exuding a sense of suffocation that made people at a loss, Chu Nian frowned, the meaning of retreat gradually magnified into a whirlpool in her chest, she gritted her teeth, and endured the grinding pain brought by the whirlpool.
At this time, a crisp female voice sounded behind Chu Nian, "County Lord? You're also here to see the Queen's Mother? ”
Chu Nian held back the sourness in his eyes, turned his head, and said with a light smile: "Fifth princess."
Ming Qiao still had that exaggerated makeup, and she couldn't see the sad look, she reached out and grabbed Chu Nian's shoulder, squeezed her eyebrows and said, "How is it, is the queen ready to marry you and the imperial brother?"
Chu Nian's face froze, as if she remembered the appearance of Empress Fang Cai holding her hand and gently calling her daughter, the queen obviously didn't want a crown princess who was too smart.
Chu Nian can also understand the queen's worries, after all, her only son is not an ordinary man, the first emperor married back a scheming and ambitious queen mother, and as a result, the government and the opposition were controlled by this ambitious woman for more than 20 years, she can understand the queen's mood that she doesn't want Ming Xiu to follow in the footsteps of the first emperor.
It's just that the queen doesn't know Ming Xiu at all, and a person like Ming Xiu will definitely not be willing to be played with by a woman.
Seeing that Chu Nian didn't speak, Ming Qiao looked at her suspiciously: "Could it be that the imperial brother bullied you?" Wait, I'll go back to the palace and take out my leather whip, you hold him down, and we'll have a good time! ”
Chu Nian couldn't help but hold down Ming Qiao, who was about to return to the palace, "Don't make trouble, are you going to participate in the flower viewing party?" It's almost starting now, and it's not good to be late. ”
Ming Qiao seemed to remember something, and the momentum that was still raging suddenly died down, and his whole body shrank like a deflated ball.
"If it weren't for the Queen Mother's order, the entire palace would have to accompany the queen daughter of Rausch, I wouldn't want to go over, thankless, and a fool would do this."
Chu Nian looked at Ming Qiao with some surprise, "Isn't she your cousin?" ”
"Didn't you say it too, she's my cousin-" Ming Qiao dragged Chu Nian forward, his face full of reluctance, "I grew up so big, I was taken to Xichu by the eldest princess to see her once when I was a child, don't you know, that nostrils look like the sky...... It's really annoying! ”
"The thought of having to go up the pole to please her now gives me a headache."
Chu Nian smiled helplessly, if you look at it when you first see it, Xi Chu Yueling is indeed an arrogant person, even if it is just kind and gentle when he speaks, it is just an illusion, and the rejection in that voice is thousands of miles away, but no matter how gentle he is, he can't hide it.
Although Ming Qiao looked very aggressive, she was actually sensitive at some times, if she had realized the arrogant heart under the appearance of the Empress Yueling of Western Chu very early, it would not have been possible.
The flower viewing will be arranged in the Chunxi Garden next to the Imperial Garden, and the Imperial Garden is not allowed to enter without the permission of the emperor, but this Chunxi Garden is the Queen Mother's private garden.
said that it was a flower-viewing party initiated by the Queen Mother, but in fact, the Queen Mother came out and showed her face, so she left under the pretext of being unwell.
At this moment, there is only a group of warblers and swallows in Chunxi Garden, circling around a Ming Xiu group.
Ming Xiu was also followed by a Xichu Yueling, surrounded by a group of warblers and Yanyan, smiling like flowers.
Ming Qiao saw the two people surrounded in the crowd at a glance, and she didn't have time to see her imperial brother's expression, so she hurriedly went away with Chu Nian.
"Let's go, it's too noisy over here, let's go over there and have a look."
Chu Nian had already seen Ming Xiu who was surrounded by a group of women, and also saw his gloomy face, and his mood became inexplicably comfortable.
At this time, I saw Mingyue sitting alone on the edge of the small pond, looking at the quiet swimming fish and not knowing what to think.
Ming Qiao had bad thoughts, she had been at odds with this imperial sister, and she happened to want to divert Chu Nian's attention, so she pulled Chu Nian towards Mingyue.
When he saw Mingyue, Chu Nian knew what Mingqiao was paying attention to, although they were still on opposite sides, but no one would offend me, Chu Nian didn't want to take the initiative to find trouble with Mingyue.
But before Chu Nian could stop it, Ming Qiao had already slapped Mingyue on the back, still looking like a stupid princess, and there was nothing she could do about it.
"Third Emperor Sister, why are you sitting here alone?"
Mingyue glanced at her hatefully, but she was also used to her faceless and skinless, but when she turned her eyes, she saw the careless Chu Nian, and her face suddenly froze.
"I've seen Her Royal Highness the Third Princess."
Anyway, I've already bumped into it, and now it's too late to explain that it's not that she wants to deliberately find Mingyue's stubble, so it's better to let her misunderstand, anyway, if she can find a way to lock her up for the first time, she can find a way to lock her up for the second time, the third time, or even for a lifetime.
Of course, Chu Nian couldn't guess how brutal she was in Mingyue's eyes now, although because Shen Ruan had tricked her before and caused her mother to be demoted, she was also punished by the queen, so Mingyue couldn't wait for Shen Ruan to die early, but when she saw Shen Ruan being beaten to a bloody blur under Chu Nian's hands, for a moment, Mingyue regretted being Chu Nian's enemy.
If she could, she would rather persuade her mother to betray the king of Huainan than stand opposite the madman who didn't know what to do that day.
But the madman who laughed that day was now laughing creepy, Mingyue felt that she had already set her eyes on herself, and had no choice but to say hello to Chu Nian obediently, the arrogant third princess is now so well-behaved, I am afraid that others will be surprised when they see it.
"Lord Wushuang, long time no see."
Mingyue smiled a little flatteringly, and even Mingqiao was at a loss for a while, so she had to continue her style of being a fool and reach out to pinch Mingyue's face regardless of the atmosphere.
"Sister Huang, what's wrong with you? Possessed by a ghost? ”
Mingyue hurriedly slapped her hand away, "Get out, you're just possessed by a ghost." ”
This Mingyue is wondering, how did the fifth princess and others get together with someone like Chu Nian, and then she thought of Mu Qing who was sick in bed - Chu Nian was so close to him, but now he couldn't accompany him, if he talked about the tiger energy similar to Mu Qing, maybe only this Mingqiao could be compared.
Thinking that she had figured out Chu Nian's preferences, Mingyue avoided Ming Qiao a little farther away, but she was also annoyed that Ming Qiao was ignorant, and said angrily: "Who can be as heartless as you, stay away from me, and make people suspicious."
After saying this, Mingyue suddenly realized that Chu Nian was still on the side, and suddenly her whole body was cold, she hadn't forgotten who was beating Shen Ruan, it was Mu Qing! If she provoked this new Ming Qiao, who was close to Chu Nian, wouldn't she end up with Shen Ruan?
Mingyue was so panicked in her heart, while she couldn't control her mouth in annoyance, when she turned her head and looked at Chu Nian cautiously, she found that the "madman" she had been afraid of seemed to be elsewhere at the moment, she breathed a sigh of relief and followed Chu Nian's gaze, and when she saw Ming Xiu in the crowd, she couldn't help but gloat in her heart.
If she knew that she would be able to figure out all of Nian's likes and weaknesses in such a short period of time, she would never be even half afraid of Chu Nian, which would be too humiliating for her status as a princess.
At this moment, Chu Nian was looking at Ming Xiu and Xi Chu Yueling in the crowd, their heads were together, and their faces were clear and cold when facing the celebrities, and they were smiling very happily at the moment.
Chu Nian's heart overflowed with a selfish disdain for himself.
When did she become so troubled by gains and losses?
Mingqiao on the side hurriedly blocked in front of Chu Nian, feeling annoyed, she was distracted for a while!
The imperial brother is too, why is he so restless, he has to make Chu Nian sad with flowers? When she turned around, she had to take a whip and teach this royal brother who didn't know what to do!
At this time, Mingyue also saw the reason why Mingqiao had nothing to do to tease her, and suddenly there was a burst of joy in her heart, she cleared her throat and said as if she was not afraid of a big deal: "Isn't this the imperial brother and the princess of Xichu?" The two of them ......"
