Chapter 116: Sisters Meet
King Qing and Mao Leyan left the concubine together, King Qing pulled her and had something to ask, but Mao Leyan said: "I'm going to see the snow geese, do you want to go together?" β
King Qing hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't go, this king still has something to do." β
"What is it about you that matters so much? She's your newlywed lady too. Shouldn't you placate her after something like that happened last night? Although Mao Leyan doesn't like the snow goose very much, based on responsibility, he still has to take care of it, so he hopes that King Qing will go with her, after all, what Snow Goose wants to see now is not her, but King Qing.
King Qing said lightly: "She is not as fragile as you think, she has calmed down last night, and moreover, she intends to seduce this king." β
Mao Leyan stopped, his face turned a little red, "Intent? Didn't you have candles in the cave last night? β
King Qing glared at her expressionlessly, "If someone dies, even if you are indifferent, you can't act as if nothing happened, right?" Who has that mind? β
Mao Leyan sighed, yes, in the end, there were dead people, or because of their wedding rings, you can't have you die, I have my cave room.
"Snow Goose really wants to seduce you?" Mao Leyan looked at him playfully and asked.
King Qing glared at her, "It's all said yes, you go over by yourself, this king wants to enter the palace!" β
"Entering the palace again? On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year today, has the imperial court started work? Mao Leyan asked.
"This king misses the emperor, can't he be inseparable from the emperor for a while?" King Qing said that, and he turned away. Regarding the matter of King Jing, he got this assurance from Mao Leyan, and he couldn't wait to enter the palace to discuss it with the emperor and Mo Li. Now is a critical time, I am afraid that I will believe King Jing, but in the end I will find out that it is a conspiracy. I'm afraid that if I don't believe him, if he really withdrew his troops and gave up the idea of rebellion, but in the end he raised troops again because of their suspicions, wouldn't it be self-inflicted?
Mao Leyan knew that they must have something to talk about, so she didn't stop it, she said to King Qing seriously: "As far as I know, King Jing has really withdrawn his troops, so you don't have to suspect anything, concentrate on preparing to deal with King Jing, that is your henchman." β
King Qing said: "Why doesn't this king know that King Jing is a big problem?" I won't hide it from you, now King Jing, the chaotic party is already difficult to deal with, and the Jin Kingdom has been frequently attacked recently, and Uncle Zhenguo Emperor will set off for the frontier tomorrow, and this battle is probably inevitable. Once the war starts, it means that the forces will be dispersed again, if at this time, once King Jing acts, the court will be exhausted, and the chaotic party will also take advantage of the situation, you can imagine what the situation will be. β
Mao Leyan sighed slightly, "This year, it seems that it is not a very peaceful year!" β
King Qing was a little speechless and stopped, Mao Leyan saw that his expression was different, and asked, "What do you want to say?" Just say it. β
King Qing sighed and said: "Forget it, it's useless to say, it's already a great joy to be able to let him withdraw his troops, if you want him to hand over the military power again, it's a fool's dream." It's just that King Jing's soldiers and horses are brave and good at fighting, and it would be a good thing if he could go to the frontier to deal with the Jin Kingdom. β
Mao Leyan smiled bitterly: "It's really wishful thinking, those soldiers and horses have followed him from birth to death for so many years, they are his own soldiers, without his orders, the soldiers will not serve the court, but as you said, it is good to make him give up the fight for the throne, how can you still ask him to work for you?" β
King Qing was a little distressed, "In fact, his soldiers and horses are also from the imperial court, but the military power was handed over to him when the first emperor was in power, and when the emperor ascended the throne, due to various relationships, he could not take back the military power. β
Mao Leyan said thoughtfully: "There are no absolutes in the world, maybe there is a person who can change him." β
King Qing's eyes flashed and he asked, "Who?" β
Mao Leyan hesitated, "I won't tell you for the time being, maybe in two days, I will go to her in person, but I don't guarantee that she will help." β
King Qing looked at her suspiciously, "Is there really such a person?" β
"Yes." Mao Leyan is definitely authentic.
King Qing looked at her look, and it didn't look like he was lying. Just look at today, who else can King Jing listen to?
"Let's go, it's almost time to Linglong Garden, you can either go in with me or go." The two of them walked as they talked, and they had already come to Linglong Garden.
King Qing looked up and said, "Well, you go in, this king enters the palace." He paused for a moment, and as if plucking up courage, asked, "Will you wait for the king to come back tonight?" β
Mao Leyan looked at his expression and knew what he wanted to say, but she didn't know what kind of liking he called like her. In her opinion, if she likes someone, she will not put another person in her heart, let alone marry someone at will. And he said that he liked her, but after he finished speaking, he immediately married Xue Yan, although there is an element of anger, but they are all thirty years old, and it is too naΓ―ve to take these angers.
She also hopes to have a good talk with him, she wants to tell him that he doesn't know what love is, he has so many women, maybe the only one who has really loved is Concubine Ning. But he and Concubine Ning are in the past tense, a relationship has disappeared, and it is not a rational thing to keep the corpse of love, but since it has been done, marrying her, the promise of marriage should also be respected.
So she said, "I'll wait for you to come back, and I just have something to say to you." β
King Qing nodded with some joy and expectation, "Well, then you can go in." β
Mao Leyan said quietly: "Well, you can go too." Mao Leyan turned around and walked in, King Qing also turned to leave, just at this time, Xue Yan led Xiaolan out, she only heard Mao Leyan say let King Qing go, so she hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Concubine body to see the prince!" King Qing had already walked a few steps away, but when he couldn't hear, he left quickly.
Xue Yan looked at King Qing's back in disappointment, turned around sharply and looked at Mao Leyan angrily, and asked sharply, "What do you mean?" The prince was originally going to come to see me, why did you let him go? β
Mao Leyan looked at her, she was wearing a light red skirt, a pure white fox fur, her face was crimson because of anger, her apricot eyes were round, and her chest was slightly undulating because of deep breathing. She wore a fallen horse bun, Jin Tian attached to her temples, and inserted a red, yellow, and sapphire inlaid treasure hairpin, and the tassels of the pure gold earrings often hung down and swayed slightly.
This appearance is like the posture of a pampered concubine, which is completely different from the innocent little sister who used to be at home.
Mao Leyan said lightly: "He wants to leave himself, not I want him to go." β
"You are talking nonsense, I clearly heard you let him leave," Xue Yan was very angry, her eyes were on fire, "You are so ruthless, today is the second day of my wedding, you stop the prince from coming to see me." Dad also let us take care of each other, is that how you take care of me? β
Mao Leyan glanced at her and said, "Do you think I can influence his decision?" Whether he is coming or leaving, it is not a matter of my words. Unless you think the prince will obey me, and I let him go, he will leave without looking back. β
Mao Xueyan said hatefully: "Who knows what bad things you said about me to the prince?" I warn you, although you are my sister, when you are at home, your father does not pamper you, and you are just a dog by my side. Now in the palace, you are an aunt, I am a lady, I am big, you are small, remember your identity, and you are not allowed to come to my side if you have nothing to do in the future. β
Mao Leyan said: "I came to find out what happened last night. β
When Xiaolan heard Mao Leyan say this, she immediately raised her somewhat stunned face and said stupidly: "Xiaochun is dead, Xiaochun is wronged." β
When Mao Xueyan heard this, she suddenly turned around and slapped Xiaolan in the face, and scolded angrily: "I'm going to kill you? Mrs. Ben said that she should not be mentioned again, she is already a dead ghost, you have a deep sisterhood with her, can I send you down to see her? β
Mao Leyan grabbed Snow Goose's hand and said angrily: "What are you beating her for?" Say no? β
Xue Yan pushed her away and said proudly: "She is my person, I want to fight or, what do you have to do with it?" Don't forget your identity, when you were at home in the past, didn't you let me beat and scold? Now that you have come to the palace, where do you think you are noble? turned out to be a strong person, be careful that your aunt's *** status can't be kept. β
Listening to Xue Yan's arrogant words, Mao Leyan was really angry, she said coldly: "I believe you also know that I am now assisting the princess in managing the affairs of the palace, and now I don't have enough people on my side, this girl is your dowry anyway, just come and follow me." β
Xiaolan looked at Mao Leyan with some trepidation, according to Xue Yan's personality, she would definitely lose her temper, so she begged her to leave quickly, otherwise she would be angry at her again in a while.
Sure enough, Snow Goose was furious and said fiercely: "You dare? Even if you assist in the affairs of the government, I am a lady and you are an aunt, and you have no right to ask for my people. Even if you go to the concubine, you don't have a reason. Mao Xuelian, I warn you again, you'd better not offend me. The main thing in this palace is not the princess but the prince, the prince doesn't like you, even if the concubine loves you again, it's useless. As long as I say a few words to you in front of the prince, you won't be able to eat and walk around. β
Looking at the snow goose with such teeth and claws, Mao Leyan didn't think that she was in a bad mood now to the point of needing to be comforted, she pulled Xiaolan and said, "You come with me!" β
Xiao Lan took a step back and said in a snort: "Xiao Lan thank you Aunt *** for your kindness, but Xiao Lan wants to stay by Madame's side." β
Mao Leyan knew that she was afraid of the snow geese, but she didn't really want to stay by the snow geese. It's just that she is a dowry girl from Mao's mansion, and even if Xue Yan bullies her, she has nowhere to sue. On the contrary, it was the subordinate sent by the house, because of the strict order of the concubine, she didn't dare to abuse her. So Mao Leyan was determined to take Xiaolan away, and after the incident of Lawei, Mao Leyan knew that even if it was sometimes a little too much, he couldn't back down half a step. She looked at Xiaolan sternly and said, "Although you are her companion, but now that you have come to the palace, you are the people of the palace, since I am in charge of the affairs of the palace, I said that you have to go wherever you go." β
Xiaolan looked at Mao Leyan's fierce face, her heart was shocked, and she secretly lamented, it seems that this aunt and grandmother from Mao's mansion are also a difficult lord to serve, maybe even better than Mao Xueyan. Now it's probably the sisters who are fighting each other, and they just pull her to grind their hearts.
Xue Yan was so angry that her face turned blue, but she also knew that what Mao Leyan said was the truth, she was now the steward of the house, and she definitely had the right to leave a girl. She gritted her teeth, not really reluctant to Xiaolan, but she was afraid that she would talk nonsense after she passed and tell what happened last night. Therefore, she bit her lip and said in a low voice: "Sister, Fang is my sister talking nonsense, don't take it to heart." Xiaolan has been by my side for the past two years, and I am like sisters with her. β
