Chapter 155: The Extraneous Statement About General Xiao's Broken Sleeves
A pair of golden palace boots embroidered with dragon patterns, walking step by step on the red brick paved road, suddenly stopped, and asked, "Is the queen mother here?"
"Your Majesty, the queen mother is talking to Princess Ruoshuang at this time, so let's go and report it first." The palace maid saw that Feng Junli had come to the queen's bedroom alone, and hurriedly saluted and replied.
Feng Junli waved his hand and said: "No need, one is the queen's mother and the other is my sister-in-law, and they are not outsiders, don't make a noise, wait for me to surprise the queen." ”
The palace maid was still thinking about saying something more, but after thinking about it, the emperor and the queen never seemed to need to be reported, so she respectfully retreated.
The Queen's Bedchamber
Green smoke curled in the incense burner, and two beautiful palace women sat facing each other.
"Sister, I just can't swallow this breath" Wanxue and Jiang Weiyang privately called each other sisters, and she sounded full of indignation.
Jiang Weiyang looked at Wanxue's annoyed look, smiled slightly and said, "Why, you and Xiao Yinjue are married, what else is there to be dissatisfied, you must know that there are many girls in the capital who want to marry him." ”
Jiang Weiyang's words hit the sore spot of Princess Ruoshuang, and said with a bitter face:
"It's because we are ordered to get married, Xiao Yinjue that guy is so popular with women, I went to the embroidery workshop a while ago and heard others say that Xiao Yinjue was forced to marry me, I don't know how many other ladies are queuing up to marry him"
After speaking, he stomped his foot and continued: "Xiao Yin is really a bastard, why don't you explain it, it will cause me to be pointed at"
Jiang Weiyang listened, a knowing smile appeared on his face, and said: "Don't you understand that some things are more and more difficult to explain the more you explain, no wonder I heard you talk with such a big vinegar smell, it turned out that I overturned the vinegar jar."
Princess Ruoshuang looked at Jiang Weiyang and said with annoyance: "When has this been, my sister is still laughing at me, the emperor is willing to dissolve the harem for you and marry only you, but I have to face so many girls who want to marry him alone." ”
"It turns out that you want to cut off Xiao Yin's market, so that he has no chance to develop Xiaosan, this is not simple," Jiang Weiyang said with a smile.
Although Princess Ruoshuang didn't understand what Jiang Weiyang meant by the little three, the market, she could tell that Jiang Weiyang had found the crux of the problem, so she hurriedly asked:
"I knew that my sister would definitely have a way, tell me quickly, and I will implement it immediately, after all, when I went out with Xiao Yinjue, I always felt that those jealousies were going to burn me through."
"As the so-called rumors are fiercer than tigers, since everyone thinks that Xiao Yin is forced, then let's create some gossip, so that public opinion will be controlled by us."
Jiang Weiyang leaned on Huanghuali's chaise longue, stuffed a cherry into his mouth, and thought to himself: "It's delicious, this thing is a hundred yuan a pound in the 21st century." ”
Seeing Jiang Weiyang eating cherries, Wanxue understood that she must have an idea, so she hurriedly asked: "Do you want to set up a formation, what is public opinion?"
The two of them patronized and studied how to make up a gossip for Xiao Yinjue, and they didn't notice a yellow shadow at the door.
Three days later, the largest teahouse in the capital was full of friends and people.
The storyteller of this teahouse is even more famous, and has always been known for daring to say anything, and Wanxue has done some research and found that the news about her forced marriage came from here.
Just as Jiang Weiyang said, "capture the thief and capture the king first", "know yourself and know the enemy, win all battles", Wanxue got up early in the morning and went straight here with the girl.
Of course, in order to hide people's eyes, Wanxue deliberately dressed up, changed into men's clothes, and took the girl to choose a position close to the stage early, and then sent the girl away.
The storyteller sat in the center of the stage, stroked his beard and said: "Last time, we talked about the current emperor's ten-mile pear blossom marrying Jiang Weiyang, this time let's talk about our horse general Xiao Yinjue." ”
As soon as the words fell, the audience applauded again and again, and the cheers continued, obviously the storyteller was very satisfied with everyone's enthusiastic response, smiled and raised the startling wood to pat down, and suddenly everyone fell silent.
At the table of the Eight Immortals, not far from the podium, sat a young man in a brown shirt, shaking a folding fan in one hand and playing with a teacup in the other, his slender fingers playing with the wall of the cup, and looking at the storyteller with blazing eyes.
I saw that he was combing the hair of an adult man, the skin on his face was smooth and delicate, and he was completely handsome with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but there was a somewhat exaggerated beard under his nose, which looked a little out of tune.
Because the teahouse has always been a table, and the neighborhood near the platform has always been prosperous, but this time he occupied the entire table by himself, so that everyone couldn't help but take a few more looks.
"In other words, this horse general Xiao Yin is also a hero, and who is Princess Ruoshuang, how can she be recognized by the emperor as a righteous sister?"
"Why did the emperor point out his righteous sister to General Xiao?"
Speaking of the place where it arose, the storyteller turned the story he expounded into a series of questions and threw it at the audience, which caused everyone to fall into a gossip discussion.
However, before everyone could discuss the result, the storyteller began to tell everyone the answer again: "This Princess Ruoshuang is the emperor's righteous sister, and this righteous sister also has a great background."
"This righteous sister is actually the illegitimate daughter of the former emperor outside, and she has been living among the people, but she was seen by the emperor a few years ago, and she was originally pursued as a sweetheart, but she knew her identity and recognized her as a righteous sister."
"But after recognizing this princess as a righteous sister, you can't keep her in the palace all the time, so let's just solve the marriage matter together."
It was also at this time that Princess Ruoshuang fell in love with General Xiao at first sight, so she cried and made trouble with the emperor, saying that I will never marry anyone in my life except Xiao Yin. When the emperor heard this, he thought to himself that I was still worried about who I wanted to point you to, but it turns out that you already have a goal for yourself, so let's just fulfill you. ”
"So in this way, the emperor made a decree to marry in Linjiang City, so our General Xiao became a concubine."
When the audience heard this, they suddenly came to their senses, and began to discuss: "I said why General Xiao followed the emperor to Linjiang once and became a concubine, it turns out that this is the case." ”
"Oh, no wonder General Xiao always looks preoccupied lately, it turns out that he was matched by the princess."
"I don't know what kind of person this Ruoshuang princess is, but it seems a little difficult to buy and sell like this."
All these people's discussions reached Wanxue's ears word for word, she frowned, and said in her heart: "No wonder there have been rumors about me and Xiao Yin recently, it seems that this storyteller made a ghost." ”
Looking at the audience that had exploded, the storyteller was obviously satisfied with the reaction caused by the * he had dropped, and squinted at everyone.
After Jiang Weiyang became the queen, although he ignored political affairs, he still did not change his love of gossip in his previous life as an entertainer.
Therefore, she suggested that Feng Junli should not prohibit the people from talking about state affairs, no matter what kind of new things happen, they would send people to haunt all corners of the capital to inquire about the news as soon as possible, and then summarize the wonderful things to tell the emperor.
As a result, in recent years, the whole people have been able to discuss state affairs, and as for the gossip about the palace, there are endless ones, and there are various versions.
So after Wanxue heard the gossip about her forced marriage to Xiao Yin, she was so angry that she jumped to her feet but was helpless, because she had been by Jiang Weiyang's side for several years, and no one believed the rumors
That's why I entered the palace to meet the queen mother as soon as possible, hoping that she could give herself an idea and let these messy rumors go to hell
Today, Wanxue, who was dressed as a man, sat in the teahouse, listening to what the storyteller said, and she was already so angry that she couldn't swallow it, but she remembered Jiang Weiyang's advice, so she couldn't bear it and didn't lose her temper.
"That's all for today's book about the secrets of the palace, and please drink tea slowly, and then try to make as many jokes as you want to hear."
Secrets
After the storyteller finished speaking, he was about to get up and take a curtain call, but a crisp voice said: "Sir, leave slowly, today I heard Mr. say that it was Princess Ruoshuang who forced Xiao Yin to marry, how is it different from what I know?"
The storyteller is also accustomed to seeing the wind and waves, and he did not change his face when someone suddenly questioned the content of his story, and said with a smile:
"This son laughed, the villain is just to beg for food, but what I just said is indeed known from the people around the party, and it can be regarded as a basis, if the son thinks that what I said is not exciting enough, it will be a joke."
The owner of the teahouse didn't expect that someone would stand up and raise objections, after all, all these years have been a flowing business, although everyone regards this as a pastime after tea and dinner, but no one takes it seriously.
The others also fell silent and turned their gaze to the strange-looking young man, not understanding what he was trying to say.
"Since Mr. talked about the princess's forced marriage, it surprised me a little, what Mr. said is a little different from what Xiao Ke knows." Wanxue put down the teacup in her hand, looked at the storyteller and said.
Although Mr. Storyteller has been talking about books in this teahouse for decades, he has been talking about it since the previous emperor was still the crown prince, and he has never met anyone who dares to stand up and say that what he said is wrong.
So he stood up, put the folding fan into his cuffs, clasped his hands on his chest and looked at Wanxue in men's clothes with a dissatisfied expression, and asked: "Since this son said that there must be a secret in this matter, I think that the son must know something, it is better to hear it." ”
Wanxue smiled, straightened her clothes, and said: "I just happened to know a rough idea, Mr. has opened his mouth to ask, so I'll say a few words, anyway, waiting for others is boring." ”
"Housekeeper, where did the princess go, why did she disappear early in the morning" Xiao Yinjue didn't see the evening snow when he got up in the morning, and he didn't find her after going around the yard, so he couldn't help but feel a little strange.
The housekeeper looked at Xiao Yinjue, and the princess had indeed explained herself before going out in the morning, she was going out to run errands today, and she would send someone back in a while, and don't tell the general before the person sent out didn't come back.
But now the general has taken the initiative to ask, and when he was thinking about how to answer, he suddenly saw the servant girl Xiao Tao coming over from the corner of his eye, so he immediately said:
"General, don't you see that isn't the princess's girl Xiao Tao in front of you, the princess went out with her this morning, why don't you go and ask Xiao Tao."
As he was talking, Xiao Tao had already run over, stood in front of Xiao Yinjue and made a blessing and said: "Lord Pony, the princess is drinking tea in the teahouse now, and the story of the storyteller is very exciting, please go over and have a look." ”
Xiao Yinjue was a little strange when he heard it, how could Wanxue suddenly remember to go to the teahouse to listen to the book, and think about it carefully, Wanxue's behavior during this period of time is indeed a little strange.
So he instructed Xiao Tao: "Okay, since the princess asked me to go with me, I will go over and take the princess home by the way, you don't go with you, just wait for us in the house." ”
When Xiao Yin came to the teahouse, he saw that those tea drinkers were all gathered around the table in the center of the lobby, as if there was something lively to see, but there was no trace of Wanxue, who had invited him here.
He often comes to this place, so he is naturally very clear about the layout of the surroundings, but he has not been here these days when the evening snow is often sticky.
I was hesitating to find someone to ask, when suddenly there was a burst of laughter at the table, and a familiar voice said eagerly: "What you laugh at, what I said is true."
"Not to mention your hearsay rumor, now everyone in the world knows that General Xiao married the emperor's sister-in-law, if it is really as you said, this is a crime of bullying the king, and you will be killed" A chubby* came out and retorted.
"You see, you would rather believe the storyteller's nonsense than believe my reasoning."
This voice, Xiao Yinjue couldn't help but pluck out her ears, this voice was clearly the evening snow she was looking for, and listening to her tone, she seemed to be quite unconvinced by the suspicions of others.
Xiao Yin went up to find his wife, and when he heard Wanxue's next words, he couldn't help but be stunned, only to hear Wanxue say:
"My relative's daughter is a maid in General Xiao's mansion, this is what she said when she went home to visit her relatives. General Xiao is indeed a man with broken sleeves, and marrying a wife is just a trick for Shi. ”
"Ah, how can this be, I usually see General Xiao but he is a very heroic and strong person, how can he like men, will there be any misunderstanding here?"
Even the boss couldn't help but interject.
Xiao Yinjue listened to everyone's discussion of himself, and there were rumors that he was a sleeve-breaker, and this person was still his own mother-in-law, and he was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
As Xiao Yin slowly squeezed into the crowd, someone had already noticed his identity and immediately left consciously, making way for him.
And Wanxue, who was saying that he was on the head of Xing, would not have found that the people around him had slowly retreated, and he continued to make up gossip with his eyebrows fluttering.
"Also, this General Xiao will come forward when he sees a man who is a little more delicate, especially a young man with a beautiful appearance, he will not be able to control himself at all."
Wan Xue was talking, when she suddenly saw a teacup handed in front of her, and a familiar male voice said: "After saying so much, I must be tired, it is better to drink saliva to moisten my throat." ”
