Ji Qingyi didn't know how long she and Xiao Jin had been looking at each other, and she didn't know why she was so extreme, but as soon as she saw Xiao Jin, she felt uncomfortable, she didn't understand why she was so uncomfortable, but that feeling was very resistant, and Ji Qingyi had no choice.

A few days later, when Ji Qingyi went to salute Li Niangniang in the morning, unfortunately Xiao Jin was also there, Ji Qingyi stopped when he heard Xiao Jin's voice as soon as he walked to the door, and when he was about to go back, he heard Xiao Ling's dissatisfied voice: "Why?" Ji Qingyi was originally the princess of Jin, isn't it a matter of course to become the queen? ”

Li Niangniang glanced at Xiao Ling lightly and said: "These ministers have been participating in it for a few days, they don't care about other things, they don't do anything else, they don't do anything else, they just stay up to the post, if the emperor makes a decision, those ministers have a little bit of a good heart, and the matter of the post-establishment is not simpler than the emperor's accession to the throne, so please think twice about it." ”

Xiao Jin didn't speak, Xiao Ling stiffened his neck and said: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, how can the Queen Mother be confused." ”

Li Niangniang smiled and didn't speak, picked up the teacup and took a sip gently. Tut-tut, Ji Qingyi, who was hiding behind the door curtain, looked at it strangely, since this Li Niangniang became the queen mother, this bearing can be regarded as a higher level.

This Li Niangniang took a sip of tea, but still ignored Xiao Ling, raised her eyelids and said to Xiao Jin: "Prime Minister Mu's daughter Mu Yangxue is in the year of peach and plum this year, and her appearance is very light and smart, she can read poetry and literature since she was a child, and she understands etiquette, so she can be said to be the best candidate to be the queen." ”

Ji Qingyi rolled her eyes behind the curtain, thinking that she didn't just dislike her for not being well-read, but can our nineteen-year compulsory education people be worse than you?

At this time, Xiao Jin stood up and said: "Mother, when Qing'er was in the Jin Palace, she was my Jin princess, and now that she is in the palace, how can I abandon my wife." ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "When did the mourning family let you abandon your wife?" ”

Xiao Ling said sullenly: "What is the difference between the queen mother's mother's mind and letting the imperial brother abandon his wife." ”

Li Niangniang glared at Xiao Ling with disgust, and said to Xiao Jin: "You have been married to Qingyi for a year, and she did not give birth to a son and a half daughter, and this time she provoked the anger of the heavens, she is the daughter of a former general, her identity is somewhat taboo, and she can't help you in the court in the future, Mu Yangxue is the daughter of Prime Minister Mu, you have just ascended the throne now, and your position is unstable, if you get the support of Prime Minister Mu, it will be much easier for you in the future." ”

Ji Qingyi's heart chilled when he listened behind the curtain, and then Xiao Jin said lightly: "When I married Qingyi, my mother didn't say that. ”

Li Niangniang stretched out her very well-maintained hand, and let the palace maid help her up, she took two steps forward, squinted at Xiao Jin and said: "It's not what it used to be, I didn't let you marry Prime Minister Mu's family at that time, because of the identity restrictions, if it was like that, it would be suspected by the emperor, and Qingyi is the widow of the first general, and the mourning family thinks that there will be an old ministry that can help you." ”

Saying that, she paused, raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Jin and said: "But now that you are the emperor and the emperor of Great Wei, how can your queen be an orphan girl without a family, if you let the Taixia people look at it, isn't it a joke?" ”

Xiao Jin clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "If it weren't for Qing'er, this Great Wei Xu would have died long ago." ”

"But." Li Niangniang said with a cold face: "Great Wei is not dead, and it is going to develop towards a stronger trend." ”

Xiao Ling stood up from the stool suddenly, her face was red, she stiffened her neck and said to Li Niangniang: "How can you say that, if this is the case, it is to let the imperial brother be a person without conscience, how many things has Qingyi done for the Wei State, is this the result in the end?" ”

Li Niangniang glanced at Xiao Ling lightly, with a slight sneer in her expression: "Conscience? Which emperor do you think has a conscience? ”

Xiao Ling stepped back from Xiao Jin, and was about to speak for Xiao Jin, but he heard the sound of the door curtain behind him, everyone looked back, and between them, Qingyi leaned over and walked in from the door curtain. Xiao Ling looked stunned, as if he had done something wrong, and sat back in his seat.

Ji Qingyi didn't glance at Xiao Jin from beginning to end, she walked up to Li Niangniang and said, "You wanted to use me at the beginning?" ”

"Presumptuous!" Li Niangniang looked displeased and said, "That's what you call the mourning family?!" ”

Ji Qingyi said with a smile: "When I called your mother before, you said that kind of thing, didn't you treat me as your daughter-in-law?" ”

As he spoke, he walked to Xiao Ling and sat down, pulled the corners of his mouth and said: "Having said that, although I am the widow of the general, I don't have an old department here, so I can't help you, if you want to strengthen your army, go and train well, don't expect others to help." Also, it's not that you don't give this queen's position, but I don't want it. ”

After speaking, Ji Qingyi glanced at Xiao Ling, and then said to Li Niangniang and Xiao Jin: "It's a shame that Xiao Ling didn't follow you when he was a child, otherwise, your Xiao family may not even have a conscience." ”

Xiao Jin took two steps forward and walked in front of Ji Qingyi and said, "Qingyi, things are not what you think, I actually ...... before."

"Stop." Ji Qingyi stretched out his hand and crossed between the two people, and Ji Qingyi said to Xiao Jin: "You don't have to feel guilty about me, I married you for a purpose." ”

Xiao Jin was interrupted by Ji Qingyi, the hand that was originally raised wanted to hold her fingers, but after hearing her words, he froze in mid-air, Ji Qingyi stared at his hand and sneered: "What, I don't care if you use me, you still can't accept it?" ”

Xiao Ling hurriedly stepped forward and leaned over, stood beside the two and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”

Ji Qingyi lowered his eyes and said very flatly: "I didn't say anything, I told the truth, I married your brother because of my father." ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Niangniang's face changed.

Ji Qingyi raised his head and looked at Xiao Jin and said: "I didn't think about marrying you at that time, but my uncle told me that my father was very likely not dead, and he said that my father was imprisoned back then, and he never knew why, so I wanted to use the power of the Jin Mansion to investigate this matter." ”

Saying that, she stood up, pushed Xiao Jin away and walked to Li Niangniang's side and said, "I originally wanted to talk to Xiao Ling from you on the third day of my father's death on the third day of the next lunar month, but now it seems that if I don't ask, maybe I won't have a chance in the future." ”

Ji Qingyi paused, and said word by word: "What does my father's affairs have to do with the Jin Palace, why did Mrs. Lu and my father die on the same day?" ”

A trace of panic flashed in Li Niangniang's expression, and she tried her best to hide her pretending indifference and said, "How can the mourning family know." ”

Xiao Ling also leaned over and said, "Queen Mother, you must know, why did my mother die on the same day as General Ji?" ”

Li Niangniang glanced at Xiao Ling and said, "Your mother committed suicide, and sending the general to prison is just a coincidence." ”

Li Niangniang looked like she knew and didn't want to say it, Ji Qingyi snorted coldly, turned around and was about to leave, when suddenly her arm was grabbed. She lowered her head and saw Xiao Jin grabbing her sleeve, Xiao Jin lowered his eyes and couldn't see clearly, he opened his mouth and said to Li Niangniang: "Mother, since Qing'er married me for this matter, then if you know anything, tell her." ”

"You ......" Li Niangniang raised her head and looked at Xiao Jin with some surprise.

Xiao Jin raised his head when he heard this, glanced at Ji Qingyi, and said to Li Niangniang: "Besides, this matter has been going on for so long, and it is understandable that the younger generations want to know the truth." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he let go of Ji Qingyi's wrist, Li Niangniang's eyes swept over a few people, and she made a gesture to let the people around her go down, and then stroked the long silk on her body and looked up at Xiao Jin and said: "In fact, a large part of the reason for what happened back then was because of your father." ”

She sighed and said lightly: "Back then, the first emperor, General Ji and your father all had a soft spot for Lu Quwei, but Lu Quwei's status was low, just a grass folk would be an orphan, how could the Empress Dowager let such a person enter the first emperor's harem, so she rejected the first emperor's proposal, and at that time, it was a time of chaos in southern Xinjiang, and General Ji was managing the turmoil, and when he came back, Lu Quwei was already going to marry your father." ”

Xiao Jin was stunned, and glanced sideways at Ji Qingyi, and Ji Qingyi only looked at Li Niangniang intently, as if she wanted to write down every word she said.

Li Niangniang continued: "Actually, things were not so bad at the beginning, although General Ji and Lu Quwei were in love, but they were already married to your father, so they didn't have so much thought, Lu Quwei is a personality and a lively person, she couldn't bear the boredom in the palace, so she liked to run to the street every day, and often used her jewelry as silver to help, and she had fed her before, the people in that village. ”

Li Niangniang paused and said: "Over time, rumors have spread in the imperial capital, and someone has made Lu Quwei's life experience public, your father, how much he likes Lu Quwei, you may not be able to imagine, he can't allow others to slander her, slander her, and hurt her." He locked Lu Quwei in the house and didn't let her go out, but I released her. Want to know why I helped her? ”

Li Niangniang smiled, and the well-maintained face showed wrinkles: "Because I want her to see with her own eyes what your father has done for her." After I released Lu Quwei, I let her run out of the city, and she was also very obedient and went straight to the village where she had been raised before, when your father, he slaughtered all the people in the village, and those who raised Lu Quwei, who existed like relatives to her, were all killed by your father, and there was no one left. When Lu Quwei arrived, it was already too late, but it wasn't too late, at least, she saw what your father had done, such an outrageous and chilling act. ”
