Chapter 215: The Queen Mother's Invitation (2)
The next day, Ji Qingyi woke up early in the morning, she stood up and walked to Xiao Yunyan's door and just wanted to knock on the door, when she heard a voice behind her, Ji Qingyi turned her head and saw Xiao Yunyan coming in with a basin of water, and at the moment she raised her eyes, Ji Qingyi saw her red and swollen face, Ji Qingyi walked over and said, "You got up so early?" And then there's the fact that you can leave these things to those minions. ”
Xiao Yunyan pursed her lips and didn't speak, she smiled at Qingyi, her voice was still glutinous and soft: "I don't sleep much, usually an hour and a half is enough." ”
Ji Qingyi's hand holding the basin of water paused, and echoed: "Three hours?" ”
Xiao Yunyan nodded, and was about to turn around and return to the side room, when Ji Qingyi suddenly stopped her and said, "You can go with me today." ”
Xiao Yunyan paused, and looked at her with some doubts: "What? ”
Ji Qingyi looked at her and said, "I mean, you accompany me to Cixiao Palace today." ”
Xiao Yunyan was stunned, then nodded dumbly and said, "Well, okay." ”
Ji Qingyi glanced at Xiao Yunyan and said, "You haven't washed your face yet, have you?"
Xiao Yunyan pursed her lips and a shy smile appeared on her face.
Ji Qingyi moved to the side, then pointed to the basin and said, "Wash together?" ”
Xiao Yunyan was stunned, then nodded, and walked to Ji Qingyi's side.
After the two had breakfast, Ji Qingyi asked the palace maid to change a set of clothes, and as expected, the queen mother did not wait for Ji Qingyi to go to see it, so she instructed the slave to send Qingyi to Cixiao Palace. Ji Qingyi didn't know why Xiao Yunyan came along, but she always felt that this girl was not the kind of person with bad intentions, she was extremely careful about what she did for fear of being abandoned if she did something wrong, she knew better than anyone else.
Sitting on the step, Ji Qingyi tilted his head to look at Xiao Yunyan and said, "Are the people in the palace afraid of you?" ”
Xiao Yunyan lowered his eyes and looked at the palace maids and eunuchs who were walking underground, shook his head lightly and said, "I don't know." ”
After a pause, he said, "Why do you ask that?" ”
Ji Qingyi smiled dryly and said: "No, I just asked, Xiao Ling said that you made great contributions in the battle of Wei Liang, so I think the people in the palace should respect you very much." ”
Xiao Yunyan pursed her lips and said, "When my father was still here, they weren't like this. ”
Ji Qingyi tilted her head to look at her, Xiao Yunyan felt her gaze, raised her chin slightly and said: "Four years ago, I made military exploits for the Wei State, and my father loved me, but more because I might feel indebted to me, so he gave me a lot of silk and satin, and every time there is a good thing that the envoy pays tribute, he will think of it to me as soon as possible, but these good things of my father are purposeful, because I can help him, so he is good to me." ”
Ji Qingyi knew what Xiao Yunyan's help meant, it was nothing more than the general skill of using ink into a soldier, although Ji Qingyi didn't understand why such a young girl could become a successful reversal in such a fiasco, there was no Xiao Yunyan in the imperial city four years ago, so her life experience may only be known to the emperor.
Ji Qingyi raised her eyes to look at her, raised her hand and gently covered the curtain, and then suddenly approached her, Xiao Yunyan was startled, subconsciously leaned back, Ji Qingyi stared at her eyes for a while, and then took out the veil to cover her: "I heard Xiao Ling say that you were very famous before, and I don't know if the Queen Mother knows about you, not that she is afraid that she will see you or something, but that if she has any bad thoughts about you, and wants you to make contributions to the emperor or something, it will be a big deal." ”
As soon as Ji Qingyi's voice fell, Xiao Yunyan said, "What's the big deal?" ”
Ji Qingyi was stunned for a moment, she didn't know why it was a big deal, she just felt that Xiao Yunyan such a simple-minded girl could not be used by Xiao Jin, she had already been used, she didn't want Xiao Yunyan to be used, compared to Mu Xueqing, that was her own business, some people wanted to enter the palace in a dead manner, thinking that if they entered the palace, they could enjoy endless glory and wealth, and enjoy the glory respected by the world, but sometimes what you can get is actually just that.
Xiao Yunyan put on the veil by himself, and then said to Ji Qingyi: "I'll wait to accompany you in, if they bully you, you tell me." ”
Ji Qingyi was stunned, looked at Xiao Yunyan funny, and said, "What? Are you so good? ”
Xiao Yunyan didn't smile, his expression was also very positive, and he sent Qingyi's heart to Ling, and said softly: "I don't know what magical powers you have, but I hope you don't do anything later." ”
Xiao Yunyan pursed her lips and nodded, "I know." ”
Ji Qingyi patted her head, and when she sat up straight, she had already arrived at the Cixiao Palace. Xiao Yunyan stepped down first, looked up at Ji Qingyi, Ji Qingyi helped her arm down, stood at the door of the Cixiao Palace and squinted her eyes and asked the palace maid on the side: "Lord Mu is here?" ”
was stunned, and hurriedly lowered his head and replied: "Go back to Niangniang, the slave maid will go and have a look first." ”
As he spoke, he bent down to go in, Ji Qingyi made a stop gesture, and said lightly: "No need, you are all waiting outside." ”
As he spoke, he pulled Xiao Yunyan and walked in. This Cixiao Palace is not a small place, in order to send Qingyi this brain, after entering the door of the main hall can really not be found, the queen mother likes to eat fasting and chanting Buddha, the yard is decorated with flowers and trees, thrifty is smacked. Fortunately, there was a slave who led the way behind Ji Qingyi, Ji Qingyi pulled Xiao Yunyan, like a cow protecting a calf, Xiao Yunyan wanted to laugh inexplicably, so he lowered his head and pulled his lips slightly, this smile Ji Qingyi didn't see it, because he had already walked to the main hall of Cixiao Palace at this time.
After Ji Qingyi walked in, she saw that the queen was lying on the chaise longue in the main hall, and there was a girl in a blue and blue snow silk shirt sitting respectfully next to her, the girl's eyebrows and eyes were warm, which made people always feel that she was a very educated girl, such a girl sat here, Ji Qingyi naturally couldn't lift the shelf, she was not bored with Mu Xueqing, but she felt that another good girl was ruined by this palace.
Ji Qingyi walked to the side of the Queen Mother, and said to her: "How is the Queen Mother?"
Ji Qingyi actually wanted to ask what you were doing, but she couldn't help it, thinking that sometimes it was better to calm down, after all, the queen mother was also a 'official' bigger than her.
The queen mother nodded slightly, and bowed her head at Qingyi, but she didn't look at Xiao Yunyan, so her mind was a little heavy, and she didn't pay attention to Xiao Yunyan, thinking that she was sending Qingyi's personal palace maid.
Xiao Yunyan stood next to Ji Qingyi and didn't dare to sit down, so she was afraid of attracting the attention of the Queen Mother, Xiao Yunyan kept staring at Mu Xueqing, staring too naturally, Ji Qingyi found out, Ji Qingyi raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao Yunyan, there was a little doubt in her eyes, she shouldn't understand why she stared at Mu Xueqing so much.
Xiao Yunyan didn't speak, pursed his lips and lowered his head and didn't say anything. The queen mother took a sip of tea, which was considered to be the posture she should have, and she wanted to laugh inexplicably, the queen mother was like this, and it was really unbearable.
The Queen Mother raised her eyelids and glanced at Ji Qingyi and said, "Recently, Mu Yatou often comes to see me and relieves my boredom, which is quite happy." ”
Isn't this just that she, the concubine who came from the princess, did not do her duty? Ji Qingyi opened her mouth and just wanted to say something, but the queen mother said again: "Qingyi, don't blame the mourning family, you were originally the princess of Jin, yes, it stands to reason that you want to be the queen, but you have been married to Jin'er for a long time, and you have not given birth to a son and a half daughter, and the mother of a country has no heirs, so it is not harmonious with reason." ”
Ji Qingyi thought to herself, did she think she had been losing her temper all along? When Ji Qingyi heard these words, she felt that she wanted to laugh even more, just a back position, could she lose her temper? She really didn't care about this, Ji Qingyi stood up and walked in front of the Queen Mother, she knew that her eyes must be very cold now, she chuckled lightly and mocked: "I originally wanted to talk to you well, but you prefer to find it yourself, I think you forgot what I said to you a month ago." ”
The Empress Dowager Xu remembered that there were outsiders around her, even though she was very scared now, but she still held on to her face and said sharply: "What do you want to do?!" ”
"Poof." Ji Qingyi tilted her neck and looked at her condescendingly: "What do I want to do?" ”
Ji Qingyi turned around and walked to Xiao Yunyan and sat down, crossed Erlang's legs and said, "I don't want to do anything, it's you, the Queen Mother, what do you want to do?" ”
Bar up, Ji Qingyi has never been afraid, Xiao Yunyan Xu has never seen such a Ji Qingyi, surprised and slightly relieved at the same time, his eyebrows bent and smiled. Her laughter was particularly obvious, which surprised Ji Qingyi, this is to despise the queen mother, it is the crime of killing the head, the queen mother is angry, and her heart is immediately angry, and she slapped the table and stood up, and her body was trembling: "Bold minion!" Don't kneel down for the mourners! ”
Ji Qingyi hurriedly stood up and stood in front of Xiao Yunyan, her block made the Queen Mother even more angry, as if her dignity had been trampled on, and she flicked her sleeves and said sharply: "Someone!" Crush these two into the prison! ”
Xiao Yunyan immediately pulled Ji Qingyi to stand in front of the Queen Mother, and said with a fixed expression: "It's my reason, it's none of her business." ”
As soon as she opened her mouth, the Queen Mother felt a little different, and reached out to tear off her veil, Xiao Yunyan didn't have time to protect it, her face was exposed, the Queen Mother was a little surprised, and she was stunned and said coldly: "Why are you here?" ”
Ji Qingyi took a step forward, pursed her lips and said lightly: "Permission to say to me is an old acquaintance. ”
"Old knowledge?" The Empress Dowager looked at Ji Qingyi and Xiao Yunyan with scrutinizing eyes, and snorted coldly for a while: "What kind of person is she, you don't know, what are your intentions in keeping her by your side?" ”
