Chapter Forty-Seven: Princess Qiong'an Disturbs the Inner Palace
The Persian group settled down, and the news of Si Yanque's proposal to marry the princess had already spread. No matter how sluggish Qiong An was, she could hear something from the rumors in the palace recently. She ran to Weiyang Palace to ask the empress why she didn't refuse.
The empress was already bored, and she forgot her identity when she watched her young daughter who had been spoiled since she was a child. just angrily slapped the case: "Qiong'an, how you usually come here, I have always tolerated you, all because you are my daughter, today you don't take me seriously, I am not only your mother, but also the king of the world." ”
Qiong An had tears in her eyes, Qi Xin didn't dare to speak on the side, and the empress said: "Grounded in Qiongyun Hall, without my permission, you are not allowed to step out half a step." ”
Qiong An still wanted to defend something, Qi Xin pulled her and said softly: "Why should the princess blame Your Majesty for the rumors, if Your Majesty wants to allow it, why wait for you to come to Xingshi to ask for the guilt, first go back with the slave and maid to meditate for a while." It will be good when Your Majesty's anger is gone. ”
returned to Qiongyuntang, "Sister Qi Xin, you may help me pass the message to the fourth sister-in-law and Wan'er, the mother emperor just grounded me, but she never said that others were not allowed to come and see me." Qiong'an pleaded with a blank eye.
Qi Xin smiled softly and nodded in agreement.
Qi Xin is now also the eldest female official of Weiyang Palace, and everyone else has to give three points of thin noodles, and Shangguan Wan often enters the palace to report on her work. First, she reported the actions of the Persian people, and secondly, she made snacks that were very much to His Majesty's taste, and she always cooked some.
The two were busy working in the kitchen, "Qiong An asked you to go to Qiongyun Hall when you were free, she was grounded." Qi Xin said.
Shangguan Wan tied her apron and brushed her hair with her hand before replying: "But is it because of the matter of the Persian prince asking to marry the princess?" ”
"Wan'er is like a god"
"There is a bit of turmoil in this palace, and I can't wait to know everything about the palace in a moment. Not to mention the matter of asking to marry a princess."
"The Empress is furious," said Qi Xin.
"The Empress doesn't really blame Joan. Si Yanque's identity in Chang'an was the young owner of Kunlun Villa, and he was an old friend of the Third Highness. It's interesting. Shangguan Wan replied.
"There is a message in the pavilion that the Liu family is not simple, and when Liu Siluo was not married to the Third Highness, the Liu family had already made friends with Kunlun. And, and," said Ji Xin intermittently.
"And what?" Shangguan Wan asked while pinching the dough.
"Liu Siluo liked the Second Highness back then, but for some reason she became the princess in the end"
Shangguan Wan smiled: "After I took charge of Lin Zhan Pavilion, and I am also the secretary of the Jinxuan Division, I know all these things. ”
Qi Xin nodded and said no more.
When he came to Qiongyuntang, Qiong'an was sulking, and when he saw that the person who came was Shangguan Wan, he said with a crying voice, "Wan'er, you are here, I heard from the palace people that the Prince of Persia came to ask to marry the princess, and he is also His Majesty's own princess, Yun'an and Chun'an's two sisters have already married, but I am not the only one left." ”
Shangguan Wan patted her on the back, and Qiong An cried even more breathlessly. "Don't cry, let the Persian prince come and see, you smashed this Qiongyuntang to pieces, no matter how many treasures there are in Persia, I'm afraid it will end up in our hands of Qiong'an."
"At this time, you still have to make fun of me."
"Princess, then I'll make it clear, the prince of Persia is afraid that his request to marry the princess is fake, and staying in Chang'an and waiting for the opportunity is true. It's just that now our Jinxuansi is still staring at his movements, and we don't know what medicine he sells in his gourd. Besides, Your Majesty feels sorry for you the most, and is reluctant to marry you far away. After Shangguan Wan finished speaking, Qiong An stopped crying, and just stared: "Then what should I do?"
"Since you have smashed this Qiong'an Hall to a pulp, you might as well make a bigger move, everyone in the palace knows what you don't want, and it will be spread to the Persian envoys in a few days. They will have a countermeasure, and they will make some movement. Otherwise, the empress gave an order, and they would have to go back. ”
