Chapter 55: The Wisdom of Beauty
"When the sons and sons arrived at Qinfang Pavilion, they saw that the third brother pressed Huimeiren on the table, wanting to forcibly do that wrongdoing, and Huimeiren was struggling......"
"Oops...... This, Lin'er, you should be careful, don't insult the queen mother's phoenix ears. When the queen heard this, she was extremely taboo to cover her nose with a veil, as if this would remove the filthy breath.
However, he was busy with his disrespectful state again, and said gently: "Lin'er, there should be some misunderstanding in this." Although your third brother is romantic, he is not wrong in terms of character, how can he do such a bully brother and concubine now? Don't be too arbitrary. This palace knows that you are uncomfortable when you see such a scene, but the original reason, can you ask clearly? Why did you come to the Queen Mother in such a hurry? It's also too unified. ”
The queen has always been calm and dignified in taking care of the six palaces, how could she be extremely surprised when she heard the prince's words now? Obviously, the surprise was deliberately faked, and then it quickly regained its composure, which was a deliberate attempt to create this awkward atmosphere.
King Chen saw all this in his eyes, but his face was still idle, and he didn't see the slightest sense of convenience, nor did he have the slightest sense of admitting his mistakes. It's as if all this the prince said has nothing to do with him.
The Queen Mother listened to the prince's statement and listened to the queen's words, so she followed the queen's words and asked, "This thing sounds very strange. Maybe there was some misunderstanding in it. Chen'er, tell me, what happened at that time? ”
King Chen said unhurriedly; "Back to the emperor's grandmother, at that time, the grandson ate a few glasses of wine, and felt that this wine was very different from the usual day, the grandson had not drunk half a pot, but he was so drunk that his mind was heavy, and his body was also light. Therefore, I wanted to leave the table first. But I feel that the sons are all present, and they all know the amount of alcohol their grandson drinks on weekdays, and the grandson is not drunk with a thousand glasses. Now if you say that you are drunk, I am afraid that you will be ridiculed. ”
"So the grandson motioned to the princess and asked the princess to find a reason, so that we could leave. The eldest brother asked us to go to Qinfang Pavilion, and when we arrived at Qinfang Pavilion, our grandson was already drinking vigorously and was burning all over my body, so the princess went to fetch cold water for my grandson. But in a daze, the grandson heard the princess exclaim at the door, and then there was no sound. ”
King Chen continued: "Sun Er didn't think much about it, he just thought that the princess had fallen. When the princess was about to return, the door opened. At this time, the grandson's alcohol strength had reached the extreme, and he thought that the person who came in was the princess, so he rushed over and wanted to make love to her. ”
"My own lady is in a quiet room, so you don't have to avoid anything, right? Which Cheng thought, the eldest brother suddenly kicked in with a bunch of people, and the grandson realized that this person was not the princess, but the eldest brother's Huimei. The grandson knew that he had recognized the wrong person after drinking, so he immediately apologized to the eldest brother. But the eldest brother had to say that his grandson did it on purpose. This...... Sun Erben didn't mean to offend Hui Meiren, how to admit it? ”
The Queen Mother bowed her head and said, "So that's ...... so"
looked at King Chen and the crown prince who were kneeling on the ground. Chen'er's words seemed to be a detailed account of the facts, but she had already heard the key points she wanted to express.
One is that there is a problem with the wine, and the other is that the prince appeared just right, and he appeared with a group of spectators.
The Queen Mother still looked at the two of them with a loving face, and after a while, she turned to look at Hui Meiren.
"Lin'er, you are really beautiful in life." The Queen Mother said slowly.
"The third brother is so beautiful, that is well known, who would have thought that today it would be so good that it will be on the head of the son!" Prince Road.
He still pretended to be extremely sad and angry, as if he had been humiliated.
"Huimeiren, whose daughter are you? When did you follow the prince? The Queen Mother asked gently.
The Queen Mother looked at this Hui beauty with some familiarity, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.
"Back to the Queen Mother", Qin Yingyue's voice was very low, and she said softly, "The concubine is the second daughter of the prime minister, Qin Yingyue." ”
The Queen Mother nodded slightly and looked at her more carefully.
It turned out that this was Qin Yingyue, the daughter of Prime Minister Qin, the rumored first beauty in Kyoto City.
Sure enough, she is an extremely beautiful woman with outstanding appearance, and even in this case, her behavior is very regular, there is nothing wrong with it, and there is no noise.
At General Rong's homecoming banquet before, I saw the prime minister's daughter-in-law, Qin Yingxuan, the child looked good, but compared with the Qin family's concubine in front of him, he was still a lot inferior. No wonder she feels familiar, in the end, it is from the same father, and in appearance, the two sisters are still somewhat similar.
"Hui Meiren, the prince asked you to go and see the third princess, when you got to the door, why didn't you knock on the door, but just pushed the door in? At that time, King Chen recognized the wrong person, why didn't you remind him in time, but let her be confused? There was already a little majesty in the voice of the Queen Mother.
"Queen Mother...... The concubine really knocked on the door, and His Royal Highness King Xu Shichen was drunk and didn't hear it. The concubine was worried about the situation of the princess, so she had to offend......" Qin Yingyue hurriedly knelt on the ground.
King Chen glanced at her......
In fact, when the Queen Mother pointed the finger at her, she could use other methods to shirk it, and there was no need to follow her own statement.
But if she told the truth, that she met him at the door, and helped him into the house, and said something, he could not hold it back. In this way, it is not possible to directly conclude that he is lying? And he also confirmed what the prince said, he had a covetous heart for Qin Yingyue.
Once she said this, the prince only had to show that his affection for Qin Yingyue was well known outside the palace, reminding the queen mother of this, and it would be untenable to think that he would be able to distinguish between the wrong person.
But she didn't say that.
Of course, even if this distinction is untenable, the Queen Mother may not conclude that he really took the initiative to offend Qin Yingyue.
But on the face, there is always no basis to excuse him.
The prince felt that Qin Yingyue's words were a little inappropriate, and felt that what she said was too vague and did not clearly identify the third child.
But seeing her bow to the ground and crying incessantly, she also felt that she was thinking too much, she just remembered the situation at the time and was stupid. After all, she has no reason to take care of the third child. This woman is very smart, and she can still tell which is more important.
The Queen Mother was silent for a long time, her eyes swept over the crown prince and King Chen.
She had heard of Chen'er's infatuation with Qin Yingyue, but she didn't believe that Chen'er would be such a disproportionate person. It must have been Lin'er who took advantage of the wine of love to unite Qin Yingyue and set this trap for Chen'er.
"Alright...... Hui Meiren, don't cry, crying makes the mourning family upset......" The Queen Mother said slowly.
"Yes." Qin Yingyue choked up and responded.
"The mourning family can see that you are all wronged, and you have your own grievances...... This is a misunderstanding, look at the fact that you have made this happy day! If you want to blame, blame the third child, you are really confused, you shouldn't be greedy. Why don't you apologize to your eldest brother and Hui Meiren? ”
"yes...... It's all that wine", King Chen said, "I must go to the eldest brother's mansion another day, find that wine again, drink it for three days and three nights, and see if it can get me drunk in the future!" ”
After speaking, he bowed deeply to the prince: "Big brother, it's the younger brother who is drunk and confused, and the eldest brother should not be like the younger brother." ”
After that, he saluted Qin Yingyue again.
The queen gave her daughter Liuli a look at the personal palace, and Bian Manran opened her mouth and interrupted King Chen: "King Chen, you don't want to promote her little concubine." Originally, you were classmates in Taixue, and you are a prince, and you are naturally noble, how can you give her a salute? Hurry up, this palace will exempt you from giving her a gift. ”
"The queen mother, the sons are good at making claims, the queen mother won't blame the sons, right?" The queen looked at the Queen Mother and said with a smile.
"It's okay, Chen'er, then let's get rid of it." The Queen Mother said.
"Huimeiren, you can get up too, don't kneel for the mourning family. Originally, you suffered a lot of grievances. ”
The Queen Mother said, looking at Mama Bo on the side: "The mourning family remembers, a few days ago, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent some extremely beautiful streamer palace brocade, you go to find it, and the mourning family wants to reward Huimeiren." ”
Seeing that this matter was about to be ended by the Queen Mother like this, the prince quietly and gently pulled the corner of Qin Yingyue's clothes.
But Qin Yingyue didn't get up, kowtowed to the ground again, and choked sadly: "The concubine is humble, and she has known since she was a child that she should be bullied, no matter what bullying she has suffered, no matter what insults she has suffered, don't expect someone to come forward to make decisions for the concubine, don't expect someone to apologize to the concubine......"
"The concubine knows that her status is low, and now the reward given by the Queen Mother is absolutely unacceptable. Although the concubine is lowly, she is not the one who can throw away her dignity for a few streamers of palace brocade......"
Listening to Qin Yingyue's sad voice, King Chen's heart tightened.
He knew that what she hated most was to be treated unequally because of her humble status.
Now the queen said that she was humble and unworthy of the prince's attribution, and the queen mother also felt so, so she didn't let him make amends. These words touched the most sensitive place in Yue'er's heart.
Out of distress for her, King Chen didn't realize the meaning of these words for a while.
But the prince was secretly happy in his heart, thinking that Qin Yingyue was really smart. In such words, it did not explicitly say that the Queen Mother was in charge, nor did it explicitly accuse King Chen of offending her, but it was all a metaphor for it. In fact, this is much better than the crying and grabbing the truth.
"Why do you sound like this, as if you have really been wronged, rather than as simple as a misunderstanding?" Queen's Road.
"Ruri, what are you going to do?" The Queen Mother saw that Liuli took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, and went out of the door by sticking to the door, and shouted.
Liuli had no choice but to stop, turned around and saluted: "Queen Mother, there are still some things in the palace, and the slaves and maids are afraid that the little girls will not understand." ”
"What's the matter?" The Queen Mother asked.
