Chapter 168: Sowing Discord
Yuehua's heart moved: "However, whether this matter is successful or not depends on your own mind, lest I and the emperor mess up the mandarin duck spectrum." ”
She stared at Chang Lingxi's face, Chang Lingxi didn't have any shyness, her eyes were gloomy, and her thoughts were a little trance.
Chang Lehou on the side was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth: "The queen is in charge, the choice must be the dragon and phoenix among the people, and it is the great honor of my Hou Mansion, Ling Xi is too late for her to be happy." ”
Ling Xi bit her lip secretly, hooked her head to her chest, and said in a low voice, "It's all up to the queen mother." ”
Yuehua only thought that she was the youngest daughter, and smiled: "Then this matter is decided." ”
Chang Lehou hurriedly thanked him, hesitated, and stopped talking for a while, and frequently glanced at Ling Xi.
Chang Lingxi just lowered his head and pretended not to see him.
Yuehua finally realized it and took the initiative to ask: "Uncle has anything to say, don't hesitate." ”
Chang Lehou finally mustered up his courage: "When I asked the Empress Dowager to say goodbye, I hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to open my mouth, so I could only tell the queen mother." ”
Chang Lingxi suddenly raised his head and scolded: "Dad, do you think it's appropriate?" ”
Yuehua was a little inexplicable: "What's wrong?" What exactly is it? ”
Chang Lehou rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and said: "Ling Yan has been looking for death and life at home these days, and I, as a father, are really embarrassed, so I came to beg my mother with a shy face." You see, Ling Yan's entry into the palace ......"
Yuehua was stunned, she didn't expect Chang Lehou to ask such a stupid question, and she suddenly felt crying and laughing.
Before she could answer, Chang Lingxi had already opened her mouth and said indignantly: "Chang Lingyan did his own nonsense, he deserved it." Lian's cried, made trouble, and hanged himself, and you relented again, and even ran to Niangniang to ask for help, you are really confused! ”
Ling Xi spoke crisply and neatly, and with a thick hostility towards Chang Ling Yan, Yuehua was a little surprised. She has always been submissive, and she rarely speaks loudly, why does she dare to reprimand her father now?
However, what she said was reasonable, and Yuehua wanted to teach Chang Lehou a hard lesson like this, lest he become more and more confused and be pinched to death by Lian's mother and daughter.
Yuehua turned around and took the tea in hand, pretending to drink tea, slowly and logically, and did not pay attention to Chang Lehou's words.
Chang Lehou coughed uncomfortably: "She and her mother now know that they are wrong, I am sorry for my mother, and I am full of remorse, so I must admit my mistake to my mother on their behalf." ”
"Admit your mistake?" Ling Xi snorted coldly: "Chang Lingyan actually did such a ruthless and ruthless thing, just abandon me, and still mess around with the two of the Lian family, and beat me upside down, when will he admit his mistake?" ”
"Ahem!" Chang Lehou coughed lightly twice, interrupting Ling Xi's indignant words.
Yuehua put down the teacup in her hand and raised her eyebrows indifferently: "What's the matter?" Are they bullying you again? ”
Chang Lehou hurriedly covered up: "No, don't listen to Ling Xi's nonsense." ”
Ling Xi sneered: "What kind of cotton character I was at the beginning, Niangniang knows, but now, I was forced out of my body by the Lian family and Chang Ling Yansheng, just like a shrew in the market." How did my father become more and more cowardly?
Chang Lingyan is so ruthless, regardless of the feelings of his brothers and sisters, he can't wait to put me to death, you don't discipline me, in the future, do you still think about Chang Lingyan's glory and wealth, do you still think about you? If she doesn't enter the palace, it will be your blessing! ”
Ignoring Chang Lehou's obstruction, he told Yuehua about the daily Ling Yan kidnapped on the Shangyuan Festival, and he was abandoned by her in order to save her.
At this time, Yuehua knew why the Empress Dowager had not taken Chang Lingyan into the palace, and she was also a little embarrassed. If it is said that when the situation was urgent, Chang Lingyan was panicked, so his behavior was a little inappropriate, and it was just human nature.
But after she returned to the Hou Mansion, in order to worry about her reputation, she acted as if nothing had happened and did not inform Chang Lehou of Ling Xi's distress, so it can be seen from this matter that this person is so vicious, he is simply a poisonous snake!
As Ling Xi said, it would be okay if Chang Lingyan didn't enter the palace, otherwise such a heart would inevitably cause trouble to the Chang family.
She turned her head to look at Chang Lehou, and finally couldn't help but persuade: "This Forbidden City is frightening every step of the way, after entering the palace, I almost fell for her several times to plot, where is a good destination for wealth and glory?"
Just like Ling Yan's kidnapping, whether it was a coincidence, or whether someone looked at her unpleasantly and sent someone to prevent her from entering the palace, it is still unknown. Ling Xi was right, Ling Yan was really not suitable for entering the palace, so he persuaded his uncle to give Ling Yan a marriage earlier, and it was better to break her thoughts. ”
Chang Lehou sighed when he heard this: "Uncle is not a person who climbs power, and it is my greatest wish that you all have peace and joy all your lives." It's just that this Ling Yan has been poured with ecstasy soup now, and if he wants to die or live, I really can't help it. ”
Yuehua sighed, she guessed that it must be the Lian family mother and daughter who had taken advantage of Chang Lehou's shortcomings, so they were looking for death and life, which made Chang Lehou helpless.
She really didn't want to embarrass Chang Lehou, but blindly tolerating it could only make Lian's mother and daughter gain an inch, so she had to force him to harden his heart.
Yuehua said categorically: "Then you will let Ling Yan and the Lian family completely die of this thought, the emperor and the empress dowager will definitely not let Chang Lingyan enter the palace." ”
"Why?" Chang Lehou asked in surprise.
"As for why, I think my uncle should know better than Yuehua. When the Empress Dowager saw Ling Yan in the Hou Mansion, if it was agreeable, it would definitely be Chang Lingyan who entered the palace, not me. Now that there is such a thing, you can imagine what the Queen Mother thinks. ”
Chang Lehou remembered what the Empress Dowager had said to herself that day when she went to Chang's house to choose someone, and sighed heavily: "Well, after I go back, I will persuade her again, I hope she can completely die of this thought." ”
The three of them talked for a while, and a little eunuch came to deliver a message, the emperor's deliberations had been dispersed, and they went to Qingqiu Palace for lunch at noon. Chang Lehou and Ling Xi took their leave and left.
Yuehua rewarded Ling Xi with a few pieces of jewelry, brocade cloth, and asked her to prepare the dowry in advance.
Ling Xi still looked far-fetched, Yuehua left her alone, and asked with concern: "You seem to be a little sullen, is there something embarrassing, or, you don't like this marriage?" ”
Ling Xi shook his head: "Nine times out of ten things in the world are unsatisfactory, where are there perfect things?" Ling Xi knows how to be happy, and she is very grateful that her mother can always remember Ling Xi, and she is flattered by this marriage. ”
Yuehua only felt that she seemed to have something to say, a little strange, and wanted to ask carefully, Chang Lehou walked in front and turned around to urge, Yuehua could only tell a few words, and then ordered Mama Wei to send the two out of the palace in person.
Mama Wei happily responded, leading the way in front of her head, Chang Lehou was happy in her heart, and flattered her twice, and she couldn't help but feel arrogant in her heart.
Half a year ago, that is, last year, he was still the mother-in-law under the fence in the Hou Mansion, and he swallowed his anger everywhere. Now, following the queen, the tide is rising, and even Chang Lehou has to be a little respectful to himself.
When she spoke to Chang Lehou, she was also domineering and a little preachy.
"Master Hou, it's not that the old slave is too talkative, you are talented, you really don't have the eyesight to speak, and you don't feel happy to provoke the queen. How can you mention Miss Lingyan's entry into the palace in front of the queen?
No matter how generous this woman is, she can't rush to take a concubine for her man, right? In addition, when my mother-in-law was in the Hou Mansion, Miss Ling Yan knew how my mother-in-law was to my mother-in-law and how she bullied us. ”
Chang Le Hou Shicai was also hot, and now that the cool breeze was blowing, he calmed down, and he also felt a little regretful: "I just want Ling Yan to enter the palace to serve the Empress Dowager, and then be a companion with Niangniang, just have a support, and have no other ideas." ”
Mama Wei snorted coldly from the end of her nose: "These are all lice on the bald head, and the obvious thing, Hou Ye doesn't need to rub the grease and powder." To tell you the truth, even if the Empress Dowager and her old man let Miss Ling Yan enter the palace, they may not arrange for her to serve the emperor. Don't think about it, lest the bamboo basket be empty in the future, and delay the green Shaohua of Miss Lingyan. ”
Mama Wei's tone was not good, Ling Xi was uncomfortable listening to it, so she wanted to sneer at her, but was stopped by Chang Lehou with a look.
Chang Lehou took out two silver bills prepared in advance from his arms, put them in his sleeves, and stuffed them to Mama Wei: "Please also ask Mama Wei to give me an understanding word." ”
Mama Wei pinched the silver coin in her sleeve with her hand, looked left and right at no one, and then said in a low voice: "This matter, I can't complain about Master Hou, it was all done by my uncle and grandmother." ”
Chang Lingxi pretended not to care, and pricked up his ears to listen.
"After all, this aunt and grandmother are in front of the Queen Mother, and they don't end up well. She is a little too arrogant in her life, and often relies on the power of the Empress Dowager and the Empress to cause trouble.
Do you think, if one day Miss Lingyan enters the palace and is favored, then the aunt and grandmother say something unpleasant, and the tail does not reach the sky? Not doing anything wrong? It is because of this that the Empress Dowager and her old man should respond in their hearts, as long as the eldest uncle and grandmother are in one day, Miss Lingyan will enter the palace, and she will have to think about it in the long run. ”
Chang Lehou nodded again and again, feeling that although what Mama Wei said was ugly, every sentence was like a slap in the face, but it was reasonable, and it was all the truth.
He wanted to ask Mama Wei for a few more words, but Mama Wei stopped at the point, kept silent, and sent the two out of the palace. My young lady is kind-hearted, but it doesn't mean that my Wei Pozi has forgotten the original treatment, so let your Lian family and your own heart baby daughter turn against each other and taste the taste of being stabbed in the heart. ”
Relieved, with a sneer, he turned around and returned to Qingqiu Palace to resume his life.
