Chapter 108: The Queen's Gift

107

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, it was the day when King Qing married Mao Xueyan as his wife, and Mao Leyan, as his sister, was reasonable and wanted to go back.

On the evening of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, he packed up his things and prepared to leave, but he heard that the housekeeper came to report that someone from the queen's palace wanted to see Mao Leyan.

King Jing was also helping Mao Leyan pack his things, but when he heard that someone from the queen's palace was coming, his face suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Who is here?" What are you looking for her to do? ”

The housekeeper said, "It's Aunt Zheng'er in the Queen's Palace." ”

King Jing was stunned, "Is she here?" She's probably here for business, so get the word in. ”

The butler hurried away.

Mao Leyan said coldly on the side: "I heard that people are coming to me, what are you doing so nervous?" ”

King Jing cleared his throat and said a little uncomfortably: "Who is nervous?" Zheng'er is the eldest aunt in the queen's palace, she came in person, there must be something important, this king is just curious. ”

"Even if there is something important, it has nothing to do with you, you, ah, are still not good enough." Mao Leyan sneered.

King Jing glared at her with a foul face, and sat sullenly in his chair, but his eyes were looking at the door.

Zheng'er walked in all the way under the leadership of the housekeeper. She held a box and entered the door with a smile: "The slave and maid have seen the prince and the girl." ”

Mao Leyan saw her once, she stood quietly beside the queen, and she could see that she was a calm woman. She smiled and said, "It's Aunt Zheng'er, sit down, don't be polite." ”

Zheng'er said politely: "The slave maid came at the behest of the queen's mother, and when I heard about the prince and the girl, I specially ordered the slave and maid to send some gifts, and congratulate the two of them on their good deeds as soon as possible, and they will be together for a hundred years." ”

King Jing's face was grim, and he sneered and said: "Your mother is really hearted, thank you for this king." After that, he reached out and grabbed the jewelry box she was holding in her hand, opened it with a snap, and pretended to exaggerate: "Xiao Yan, you see how generous the queen is!" I've given you a lot of expensive jewelry, and you're not grateful? ”

Mao Leyan glanced at him coldly, and said lightly: "I haven't said I want it yet, what are you taking?" ”

King Jing sneered: "So you are a mountain girl who doesn't understand the rules, who is the queen?" She said that if she gives you a reward, you can only accept it, and if you push it back, you don't know how to lift it. ”

Zheng'er knew that he was uncomfortable, but he didn't understand why, since he had already chosen this girl, it stands to reason that the queen sent something, even if he was not grateful, he shouldn't be so angry, could it be that he hadn't let go of the queen in his heart? Or maybe he just feels old and wants to find a companion for himself? No matter what, Zheng'er hopes that he will be happy and happy, and he has witnessed the hardships of him and his mother over the years, and he also knows that it is difficult for him.

Zheng'er said quietly: "Lord, the queen just wants you to be happy, and has no other meaning." ”

King Jing said bitterly: "Really? Thank you for the kindness of the king, the king will be very happy, and will be happy as the mother wishes, and Xiaoyan will be happy. ”

Zheng'er was a little at a loss, he had always been strong, he didn't look like he would say such things, she looked at Mao Leyan for help, Mao Leyan looked at Zheng'er, and smiled kindly: "Thank you for me, Niangniang, the prince is in a bad mood today, auntie, don't be surprised." Don't worry, I'll clean him up in a moment and vent for you. ”

Zheng'er smiled bitterly, "The girl is serious, the slave and maid are not angry, the slave and maid are the same as the mother, and they just want the prince to be happy." ”

King Jing sat on the chair with a cold face, the jewelry box was placed on the table casually, his eyes were a little sharp, looking at Zheng'er, he said: "You go back to report to the queen, so that she doesn't have to worry about this king snatching the throne of her beloved in the future, she can sit back and be her mother of a country with peace of mind, she thinks day and night, isn't that what she expects?" ”

Mao Leyan saw that the more he talked, the more he went too far, he couldn't help but stop him, "Liu Ji, don't go too far, Niangniang is a good intention, whether you accept it or not, you don't have to say such things to your aunt." She looked at Zheng'er and said, "Okay, aunt." Please go back first, we are just about to go out, so we will not leave you to eat. ”

Zheng'er Fufu body, looking at Mao Leyan with some strangeness, I was a little surprised that Mao Leyan called the name of the prince, she may really be a different girl, too, the prince is a noble man, how can ordinary women be eye-catching?

After Zheng'er left, Mao Leyan looked at the jewelry box, now she is not very nervous about money, since she has the silver rewarded by the emperor, even if she leaves the Qingwang Mansion, she can live the rest of her life without worry, and the jewelry is just the icing on the cake.

"It's very precious, and I can see that her heart is really heavy." Mao Leyan said lightly.

King Jing's eyes gradually dimmed, and he said faintly: "She probably doesn't care about this king at all, and she uses this way to declare that she doesn't mind, Sanmao, this king feels that he is a big fool!" ”

Mao Leyan stepped forward to hold his hand and comforted: "A person who has love in his heart is a big fool. Have you been stupid for so many years, have you ever thought about being sober? "He and the queen are probably impossible in this life, is he really going to be persistent for a lifetime and lonely for a lifetime? As a friend, Mao Leyan hopes that he can find his own happiness, thinking about it, even if the queen doesn't love him, at least it's good for him, and if she is really happy for him, she will send someone to congratulate him on finding someone he likes, of course, all this is just what the queen thinks.

King Jing deliberately held hands with Mao Leyan in the Queen Mother's palace that day, but he wanted to be angry with the queen, but he let himself suffer evil consequences.

King Jing looked at Mao Leyan with some blankness, "Awake? This king has always been very sober, and it is not that he can't forget it, but he is reluctant. "Yes, it's not that you can't forget, it's just reluctant, the beauty of the past exists in the heart, and it is always new, in order to retain this beauty, how can you be willing to forget? Sometimes we can't forget, it's just that we fall in love with our own memories.

Mao Leyan looked at him with some pity, looking at him who was now decadent and sad, she warned herself to stay away from love and avoid harm.

Many people have good expectations for love, but true love is often disappointing. She's not a coward, but she's not a love warrior either, and she won't stupidly crash into it knowing that she will get hurt. It's impossible to be with the emperor, and King Qing is the same, they all have a group of wives and concubines, even if she is lonely for a lifetime, she won't want to share a husband with so many people.

Rather lack than excess, it is her love purpose.

Looking at the clothes he had packed, Mao Leyan suddenly said a little depressed: "I don't want to go back, just stay with you for a few more days." ”

King Jing glanced at her lightly, "Sooner or later, you have to face it, can you hide from this marriage, can you hide from the relative days in the future?" Unless you move out directly, don't live in Qingwangfu anymore. ”

Mao Leyan's eyes flashed, and he said happily: "Yes, I can move out, and now I don't need to rely on King Qing, I can be independent." ”

King Jing looked sideways at her, "You moved out before, why did you go back later?" ”

Mao Leyan sighed, "There are some things I haven't told you, I offended Liu Zezhong, the son of King Jing, and I don't want to implicate a few people around me, so I moved back to the palace." The Qingwang Mansion is heavily guarded, and they don't dare to act rashly, and I need time to carry out my counterattack plan. Forget it, I'll wait for them to get married before I go back, anyway, on such a lively day, no one will notice that I'm not there. ”

"You offended Liu Zezhong?" King Jing was a little surprised, Liu Zezhong is a person he knows, he is vicious and despicable, and he will do everything, once he offends him, he will bite like a poisonous scorpion, and he would rather lose both than let the other party feel better. One of his subordinates once had a holiday with Liu Zezhong, and in the end he came forward to mediate, and Liu Zezhong announced that he would not pursue it, but said so, and later ordered someone to beat his subordinates, suffering from no evidence, otherwise he would have attacked King Jing.

"It's a long story, anyway, I'm not going back today, so I'll tell you about this matter slowly." Mao Leyan sat down and talked about the murder of the concubine of the prince of the town, and King Jing was both surprised and shocked when he heard it.

"You chopped off one of his fingers? Oh my God, this man is notoriously vengeful, you have to be careful. ”

"I know, that's why I chose to move back to the palace to live, I'm not afraid of him, I just want to make all preparations before I fight him, this person killed the Chen family, since I know, I will take care of this matter, I also promised Miss Chen to avenge her, even if he didn't die and bite me, I won't let him go."

King Jing nodded approvingly and said, "If you can get rid of him, you can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people." ”

"It's easy to kill him, but I'm going to uproot his power, and even King Jing's power will collapse." Mao Leyan said in a deep voice.

King Jing's face shook suddenly, he looked up at Mao Leyan suddenly, and a wry smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth, "It seems that you want to eliminate all the enemies for him, first to solve this king, then to King Jing, and then after that, do you even want to clear the chaotic party?" ”

Mao Leyan glanced at him, "I'm not as great as you think, Liu Zezhong is vicious, I can't see it before I teach him, as for his wolf ambitions, it will cause disaster to the people in the world, I don't want war to start, so I stopped it." You don't know that when the world is in turmoil, there will be a group of demons in chaos, and I don't want the whole land to be filled with aliens at that time. "In that case, if the Long family is busy to death, the Mao family will not be at peace.

Of course, she herself admits in her heart that she is indeed selfish, but this selfishness is also for the sake of the overall situation.

King Jing looked at her contemplatively, and said with his cheeks on his cheeks: "This king always feels cheated. Sanmao, are you fooling this king? ”

Mao Leyan snorted and laughed, and said a little treacherously: "That's right, you were fooled, but you can't turn back, you have ordered the withdrawal of troops." ”

King Jing also snorted in the same way, "You can't help but underestimate this king if you think like this, you also said that this king ordered the withdrawal of troops, and this king can naturally also order the class to return to the dynasty." ”

Mao Leyan smiled, "I know you won't, you've all come to your senses." ”

King Jing stretched his waist, "If you don't leave, this king will go back to take a nap, speaking of which, this king has not tried such a comfortable life for many years." With that, he got up lazily, and walked lazily again, like a retiree's steps.
