Before going to find the queen mother, Mao Leyan went to the queen and explained the situation to the queen, and the queen smiled bitterly and said: "Before you came, the palace was already worried about this matter. I always thought that he had intentions, but in the end, I saw that he didn't say anything, no matter how Qing Ling hinted at it, he didn't react at all. I think Qingling also knew his thoughts, so he forced his mother to give marriage. But in this way, Mo Li is even more difficult to push. ”

Mao Leyan didn't expect the queen to be so smart, she put her hand on her cheek and said: "Then what can I do now to help Mo Li, is the protest to kill the head?" ”

"Mo Li has contributed to the society, the Queen Mother will not kill him, but she will definitely sin the Mo family, to show that the royal power cannot be challenged." Queen's Road.

Mao Leyan sighed, "Then there is no room for maneuver in this matter?" ”

The queen shook her head, "Unless, according to what you say, let Qingling take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage, otherwise, there is no room for turnaround, the queen mother's temperament has become more stubborn over the years, and she doesn't listen to people, so I guess even if the two of us go to talk about her together in the end, it will be useless." ”

Mao Leyan sighed: "It's just that I have already promised Mo Li, so I can only try my best." ”

"This palace advises you not to go, because of the matter of the Lord of the Liu League, the Queen Mother has a lot of complaints about you, and now in her heart, the most troublesome thing is Qingling's marriage, and now it is rare for Qingling to take the initiative to ask for marriage, in fact, she also knows Mo Li's mind to some extent, and because of this, she will be so eager to make a decree." Queen's Road.

Mao Leyan said: "Even if Mo Li finally agrees to marry Qingling, if there is no love between the two, they will not be happy." ”

The queen said quietly: "Many people's marriages may not have love. Let's just live it for the rest of my life. Qingling is a princess, the royal daughter, the golden branch and jade leaf, Mo Li and even the entire Mo family, will treat her well. It is enough to be able to live comfortingly and stay with loved ones. ”

Mao Leyan looked at her and knew that she probably remembered her marriage in her heart. The queen came back to her senses and smiled reluctantly, "This palace has no other meaning, I just feel that many people are living such days, Qingling is not the first, nor the last, and it may not be happy." Perhaps, we shouldn't meddle too much. ”

Mao Leyan pondered for a moment, got up and said: "No, I'll still go to see the Queen Mother, no matter whether she will change her mind in the end, but at least, I have tried my best to do what Mo Li wanted, and I am worthy of him." When she was wronged, Mo Li also tried her best to investigate the truth, and she would keep this kindness in her heart.

Seeing that she insisted on this, the queen said, "Okay, since you have decided to go, then the palace will accompany you." It's just that this palace wants to tell you in advance that although you have saved your life to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother will not remember it for too long, and this kindness will gradually fade as she recovers day by day. Moreover, in her concept, she is the queen mother of a country, and everyone should do their best for her. Maybe when she heals her, she will feel that it is kindness, but now, she may not think so. ”

Mao Leyan said: "Well, I understand, I never expected her to keep it in my heart, and when I went to her today, I just reasoned with her, if she didn't listen, I couldn't do anything." ”

The queen nodded, ordered Zheng'er to take the white fox with silver edge and gold silk embroidered phoenix pattern, and the two sat on their shoulders and went to the queen mother's bedroom. Because the weather is getting colder, the Queen Mother moved to live in the Shangyang Palace, which is the warmest place in the entire palace, and the Queen Mother will live here every year until the beginning of spring.

The Queen Mother sat in the side hall, the fire was burning in the hall, and the whole hall was as warm as spring. The two saluted, and the Queen Mother gave the two to sit. The old grandmother Qian Mama beside the Queen Mother stepped forward and saluted: "See the queen's mother, see Concubine Le's mother!" ”

"Mama doesn't have to be polite!" The two said in unison. Mama Qian is a first-class person in the palace, with high morality and respect, and the queen is also very polite to her.

The queen mother was using desserts, and she seemed to be in a good mood, Mao Leyan and the queen glanced at each other, and the queen was thinking about how to speak, when she saw Qing Ling coming in excitedly, with a smile on her face, she entered the door and said, "Queen Mother, guess where I went?" ”

The Queen Mother raised her head and smiled: "Where did you go so happy?" ”

Qingling saw the queen and Mao Leyan at this time, and said, "The queen is also here!" She deliberately didn't mention Mao Leyan, and even had a little bit of a sense of not taking her seriously.

The queen smiled slightly, "Qingling, what are you so happy about?" ”

Qing Ling smiled shyly and said softly: "I went to the Ministry of Rites just now, and the Ministry of Rites showed me the list of things to prepare for the wedding, and I thought about asking the Queen Mother to add something." ”

The Queen Mother sneered: "What else do you want?" What the Ministry of Rites gave you is all according to the system of the eldest princess, and you still have many requirements. ”

Qingling stomped her feet, "Queen Mother, what people want, it's not that the Queen Mother has no ability to give, why be stingy?" ”

The Queen Mother laughed, "Okay, okay, tell me what you want?" ”

Qing Ling sat next to the Queen Mother, hid in the Queen Mother's arms with a shy smile, and said coquettishly: "Queen Mother, you might as well make Mo Li's mother a first-class lady, so that if I marry in, it will be considered a meritorious service to the Mo family, and besides, can't the fiefdom given to me be more than a hundred miles?" ”

The Queen Mother said solemnly: "You have to tell your imperial brother about this matter, but, Qingling, the first-class lady must be a prince or a princess or a family member of the palace concubine, and Master Mo is just a scholar, even if the emperor's grace is mighty, it can only be a second-grade seal." ”

"I just know, that's why I let the queen mother personally make an order, the royal brother has often kept a straight face recently, so I don't want to ask him." Qing Ling pouted.

Mao Leyan glanced at Qingling, stepped forward and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, I don't know if this time to give marriage, did the Queen Mother mention it to General Mo Li in advance?" ”

The Queen Mother glanced at her with some displeasure, and said lightly: "What is the difference between what the mourning family says and what not?" ”

The queen glanced at Mao Leyan with some concern, and hurriedly said, "Queen Mother, what does Concubine Le ......mean?"

The Queen Mother interrupted the queen's words, "Queen, you have to think clearly about some things, Concubine Le has just entered the palace, and I don't know many rules, you are the queen, the mother of a country, you must speak and act in a measured manner." ”

The queen's face changed slightly, and she didn't dare to say anything more.

Mao Leyan said: "What does the concubine mean, will General Mo Li be unwilling?" Did the Queen Mother ask him what he meant? After all, a marriage requires two people to be in love. ”

The queen was startled, and hurriedly spoke to stop her, "Concubine Le, don't talk nonsense. ”

The Queen Mother was already angry, and looked at Mao Leyan sternly, "What do you mean, Concubine Le?" First of all, in your capacity, you should not meddle in this matter, what position do you have to express your opinion on this matter? Don't think that if you have saved the mourning family, you can be presumptuous in front of the mourning family, Princess Qingling will marry, and the whole country will rejoice, no matter how you are, you are Qingling's sister-in-law in name, and you should prepare a dowry for her, how can you not know the proportions to this? ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother was angry, the queen hurriedly knelt down to intercede for Mao Leyan: "Queen Mother, please calm your anger, Concubine Le doesn't mean that, she just hopes that the princess can marry happily." ”

Qing Ling also looked angry, and snorted coldly and said maliciously, "Concubine Le has found a good husband like the imperial brother, so naturally she doesn't care about the life or death of others. It's just that who does this princess marry, what do you have to do with it? Where's the trouble with Concubine Le? ”

Mao Leyan knew that it didn't make sense with reason, but because she promised Mo Li, she could only try her best to persuade her, she said: "The Queen Mother, the concubine doesn't mean this, it's just that the ancients are also cloudy, and they are in love, Qin Se and Ming, the two must be in love before they can become husband and wife, the Queen Mother has not asked Mo Li's thoughts, who knows if he will treat the princess wholeheartedly in the future?" If he has no intention and becomes a resentful couple in the future, how can the Queen Mother be happy to see it? ”

The Queen Mother was furious, "Presumptuous, now that Qingling is not married, you actually curse them to become resentful couples in the future?" What a guts! You immediately go back to your Zhaoyang Palace, and within three months, you are not allowed to step out of the palace gate for half a step, otherwise the mourning family will not spare you. ”

Grounded? Mao Leyan smiled secretly bitterly in his heart, Mo Li, Mo Li, I have already said that it is useless to intercede in front of the Queen Mother, why push me into the fire kang? She looked at Qing Ling without giving up and said, "Princess, you also hope that your future husband can be devoted to you, do you really think Mo Li likes you?" ”

Qing Ling's eyebrows were frosty, and he said coldly: "He doesn't like this princess, doesn't he like you?" Or is Concubine Le the concubine of the imperial brother, but she thinks about Mo Li? If so, isn't the royal brother a cuckold? ”

The queen was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense, this is a big crime of extermination, it is a matter of royal decency, and you can't talk about it." ”

The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Le suspiciously, her voice was full of anger, "Concubine Le, what Qing Ling said, it's best not to be true, otherwise, how can the mourning family tolerate you?" She looked at Qing Ling and said, "You too, talking nonsense, can you say these words?" Do you want your royal brother's face anymore? Go and go, you all go down, Qingling, where do you not go during this time, prepare to get married, and the rest of the things, the mourning family will let the Internal Affairs Department and the Ministry of Rites handle it. ”

Everyone had to retire and leave the Shangyang Palace, the queen looked at Mao Leyan worriedly and said: "The Queen Mother is going to grounded you, you really can't go out during this time, otherwise, the palace will not be able to protect you." ”

Mao Leyan smiled, "The queen doesn't have to worry about me, it's just that this matter has affected you, and it is estimated that the queen mother will definitely scold you again." ”

The queen said: "The palace is not afraid, but the queen mother is not in good health, and the palace doesn't want her to be angry." It's just that if the two are really destined, no matter how others are, they will get married in the end. If it is not fate, even if there is a holy will, it will not be able to achieve its good deeds. ”

Mao Leyan doesn't think so, now that Mo Li clearly disagrees, how can he be faithful to this marriage in his heart? When he met the woman he loved in the future, where did he put Qingling and that woman?

Mao Leyan and the queen walked silently, and a force rushed towards her behind her, Mao Leyan subconsciously dodged to the side, and Qingling pounced straight out, falling into a dog and eating.
