"Hehe..."
There was a mocking laugh of unknown meaning outside the door,
"Good! In that case, I will let you beg me to marry you when the time comes! I won't be so polite to you then, don't regret it. ”
Luo Ling didn't want to answer such a boring question to him, Murong Xi was not a lowly person, and he left not long after he said this.
Hearing that there was no sound outside, Luo Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
Two days later, Luo Ling accompanied the Queen Mother for a walk in the palace, and the Queen Mother suddenly asked.
"Murong attacked you two days ago, and I heard that you turned you away?"
Luo Ling held the hand of the Queen Mother, did not deny it, but politely lowered her head and replied,
"The character of the folk girl and Lord Xi are incompatible, and they will not intersect too much in the future, I am not a person with him!"
"Hehe, it's really hard to say about the Mourning family of your young people, but there are some things that can be cultivated slowly, Murong Xian's Mourning family watched him grow up, and his thoughts and feelings of the Mourning family are not clear. But whatever he is determined to do, he will not give up! If this kid meets someone he likes, he will be kind to people with all his heart, in fact, if you give him a chance, the mourning family believes that you will change. ”
The Queen Mother's meaning couldn't be more obvious, even if it were, Luo Ling would not agree.
"In fact, there is a kind of bird in our great country, one green and one white, with long wings and very good-looking. In Bianjing, we all call it Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, these two birds only recognize one partner in their lives, and they will not change if they are identified. If one of them encounters an accident, the other will definitely not survive, and will definitely die and live and die on the tree! The Queen Mother may think that this bird is stupid, but the folk girl thinks that animals can still do this, let alone people? ”
Luo Ling's words made the Queen Mother fall into deep thought, her wrinkled face was full of majesty, and finally the Queen Mother withdrew Luo Ling unhappily and nodded her hand,
"Light orange, the mourning family is suddenly a little tired, you help the mourning family to return to the palace!"
Light orange glanced at Luo Ling inexplicably, then took the queen mother's hand, and the group turned around and left with great momentum, leaving Luo Ling and the maidservant Dong'er standing on the empty road.
"Girl, what did you say..."
Dong'er understood what she meant, but she still said the general words and didn't point it out.
"But I have to make it clear!"
She knew the Queen Mother's thoughts, even if she refuted the Queen Mother's kindness, she didn't want to be ambiguous with Murong Xi.
Dong'er didn't speak anymore, and it happened that the queen mother had just left on her front foot, and the queen and Xiyue came from not far away.
At this time, if Luo Ling leaves, it is impossible to directly pretend that he did not see it.
The Queen's party should have seen her earlier.
She bent down slightly and bowed politely.
"No need to be polite!" The queen uncharacteristically took out the gentleness and kindness of the mother of the country, "Luo Ling, you were wronged a few days ago!" ”
Luo Ling also guessed that it had something to do with Xiahou Yan, Murong Zhan had already said it clearly, but he didn't expect Xiyue to be really...
Look at the queen holding Xiyue's hand again, and said in a majestic tone, "Why don't you apologize to Miss Luo Ling?" ”
Xiyue's face was distorted, obviously unhappy. "Mother, do you have to ask me to apologize to her?"
"Yue'er, don't mess around! Luo Ling is our honored guest, if you neglect her, it is equivalent to neglecting the Great Lord, have you forgotten how this palace taught you? ”
There was a lot of coercion in the queen's words.
Xiyue gritted her teeth and glanced sideways at Luo Ling, "Xiahou Luo Ling, I'm sorry!" ”
She tilted her head, her eyes squinted, and she didn't take Luo Ling seriously at all, even if she apologized, it was only perfunctory.
Luo Ling sneered, his tone mixed with mockery,
"Princess Xiyue is high, I'm just a grass people, how can I afford the princess's apology?"
"Xiahou Luoling, don't think that if someone supports you, you won't take this princess seriously!"
Xiyue was reluctant, and hated Luo Ling to death, so she naturally let out her words.
He was about to salute and turn away, not wanting to entangle with these people. Unexpectedly, the queen blocked her way.
A smirking face said,
"Luo Ling, you see that Yue'er has already apologized to you this time, if the emperor and the nine kings ask..."
Before he finished speaking, Luo Ling interrupted first, "What the queen says is what it is!" The queen mother has returned to the palace, and the people have to go back to the palace to serve the queen mother, so she will retire first! ”
The queen who stopped Luo Ling's hand did not take it back, she glared at Xiyue fiercely, and said angrily,
"Yue'er, don't you pay compensation to Miss Luoling?"
This sentence implied that if it weren't for Emperor Chu Yu's confession, the queen would not have bothered to apologize to such a woman with Xiyue, she is a high queen, and Xiyue is the most noble princess.
Now that the situation is forced, if she doesn't follow Emperor Chu Yu's will, Concubine Xu Xian is eyeing her, just afraid that her position as queen will not be guaranteed. The setting moon will also fall out of favor.
Xiyue was reprimanded by the queen long before she came, and she also knew how powerful it was, although she was jealous of Xiahou Yan for protecting Luo Ling so much, but she would always be rational for a while after going crazy, as long as she didn't see Xiahou Yan, she was normal.
"Xiahou Luoling, this princess was sorry for you before, please forgive me!"
Xiyue's tone was much better than just now, but she was still a little tough, after all, she was a princess of a country, and it was difficult to deign to apologize to Luo Ling.
Luo Ling didn't lack this apology, and said lightly, "I don't dare to forgive, I just hope that the princess won't embarrass me in the future, our well water will not interfere with the river water!" ”
After saying this, the queen withdrew her hand playfully and said with a smile,
"That's the best, Luo Ling, if you have anything to do in this palace in the future, just talk to this palace!"
Luo Ling smiled bitterly in his heart, if it weren't for Yan, would their mother and daughter be like this?
There are some things that she can think about in her heart, and she will not deliberately say them in the open.
"Thank you Queen Mother, the folk girl is leaving!"
She didn't agree to Xiyue and Xiahoujie's marriage, and later she didn't know what the queen said to Xiyue, Xiyue didn't make trouble, and this matter was set at the beginning of the year.
First, Emperor Chu Yu hoped that Xiyue would spend the last year in the Liang Kingdom, and secondly, the situation between the two countries was still a little turbulent, and he still couldn't easily believe in Xiahou Yan, as if he was looking for an opportunity.
Within half a month of Xiahou Yan's arrival in Liang Kingdom, unfortunate news came from the Yehuan.
Before leaving, Luo Ling learned that the two princes of Liang had escaped, and I heard that the guards had mixed in with the traitors and killed a lot of guards.
And that's nothing?
Xiahou Jie inspected the border passes, and he didn't know where Tuoba Jue got the gossip, but he was actually taken away when Xiahou Jie and Concubine Zhen were on a trip.
Although Xiahou Jie is only an emperor in name only, he is the emperor of the Great Lord's Kingdom after all, what is it like to be taken prisoner by others?
Coupled with his promise to Luo Ling, Xiahou Jie's accident was not only a faceless thing for the Great Xunguo, but also made Luo Ling sad.
It has been almost a month since Xiahou Yan left, and the time he was there was Luo Ling's happiest time in Liang Kingdom.
Those spies didn't rush to move her, after all, she was in the Queen Mother's Palace, and the minimum safety and respect were still guaranteed. Luo Ling hoped that they would not be able to hold their breath at this time, so that she could find clues as soon as possible, find out the person behind the scenes, and leave as soon as possible.
Liang Guo, she doesn't want to spend her time here all the time, as long as she can catch all these people, she can be with Xiahou Yan in Daxun with peace of mind.
Murong Xi tirelessly came to harass her, Luo Ling would calculate, naturally knew when he came every day, and it was even easier to avoid the time, or lock himself in the room and close the door to thank the guests.
In a blink of an eye, it was the end of the year, and Laba heard that a program had been prepared in the palace on this day.
The Queen Mother said that she would give her a big gift, but later learned that the Queen Mother originally intended to make Luo Ling the county lord, but was finally rejected by Emperor Chu Yu on the grounds of inappropriateness.
The queen mother has always felt a little guilty about Luo Ling, and this palace banquet heard that she specially found a dancing girl from the Daxun country, so she asked Luo Ling to go with her to see it, and take her lively and lively to relieve homesickness.
Luo Ling refused the Queen Mother three times and didn't want to go to public, this time the Queen Mother said that she would take her with her, Luo Ling couldn't resist the Queen Mother, and finally asked Dong'er to dress up and follow the Queen Mother.
Speaking of which, she has been in Liang for almost a year, and she has not yet met the emperor of Liang.
Emperor Chu Yu had never announced her audience before, and every time Emperor Chu Yu came to see the Queen Mother, she almost avoided it, or was in Juyuan. This time, I can see the appearance of Emperor Liang, I wonder if it is like Emperor Qianwen?
Along the way, I followed the Queen Mother to the outside of the main hall.
Today is the Laba family banquet, Luo Ling is wearing a small silk skirt woven by Su Xue obliquely, and the light purple brocade fox fur-edged cloak is embroidered with silver peacocks, the purple headdress and earrings are wonderfully matched, and a small and delicate purple lotus flower between the eyebrows plays the finishing touch.
It's like the fairy in purple, who will attract attention wherever she goes.
The few banquet clothes given to her by the Queen Mother are extremely gorgeous, and the purple she chose is already a dull color, if ordinary people can't wear such a temperament, it's just her light, even if it's a plain cloth draped on the body, you can wear it differently, right?
In two months, she was gone.
Many concubines had already arrived, and even the queen was already waiting inside.
Luo Ling tried his best to keep his body down, and the person who was supporting the Queen Mother this time was a light orange.
So she couldn't wait to hide herself behind the queen mother's palace maid, she lowered her head, she was just a nobody, and there was definitely no place for her at the royal banquet.
The emperor and queen and a whole room of concubines and princesses got up to salute the queen mother, and everyone did not look up at the queen mother.
The emperor personally helped the queen mother to a high position from the light orange hand, the queen mother's position was in the center, and the emperor's position was on both sides.
"Queen Mother, be careful!"
"Hehe..."The Queen Mother laughed happily a few times, turned around and said to everyone casually,
"It's just a family banquet, let's be even, you don't have to bow like this!"
"Empress Dowager Xie!"
Everyone was flat, watching the Queen Mother sit down, and everyone dared to sit.
