073: Are you kidding?
The Ning clan can say this, not only because in the inner courtyard of this Hou Mansion, her status has increased by the Liu clan a little.
Another reason is that the Ning family entered the Hou Mansion as a concubine, but Emperor Yongjia gave it to the Marquis of Jing'an in his early years.
It is said that the Marquis of Jing'an, who had already taken over the title of Marquis, was happy because of his victory on the battlefield, and directly selected several beauties from the new show girls in the palace draft to give to the Marquis of Jing'an as concubines.
As the Marquis of Jing'an, there is already a wife in the family, and the husband and wife are deeply affectionate, so they bluntly refuse the imperial gift of Emperor Yongjia.
In this regard, Emperor Yongjia had a lot of displeasure on his face.
Seeing that Emperor Yongjia's dragon face changed color and there was no way, Jing'an Hou had no choice but to risk being beheaded, and proposed to Emperor Yongjia that he only needed a royal beauty.
The monarch and the ministers each took a step back, and the matter of giving the beauty was solved. However, since then, an introduction that has plagued the relationship between Jing'anhou and his wife has also been buried.
Looking back, what Qing Ying said to Ling Wushuang was that the lady was discouraged by the Hou Ye, so she had to leave the full moon Ling Wushuang and leave the Hou Mansion for more than ten years.
When people hear about it next year, they will suspect that the lady of the Hou Mansion left the Hou Mansion on the Ning family, the imperial beauty.
"What if you are the concubine given by the emperor to the Hou Ye? Now it's not the same as me, it's all the concubines of the Hou Ye! Liu snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Besides, sister, I am a big girl who served by Hou Ye's side since I was a child, and I am the concubine room that the deceased old lady personally gave to Hou Ye." It's not much weaker than you in terms of identity. ”
"Jianren, you actually compare the old lady with the emperor? It's so good, Aunt Ben sees that you are impatient! Ning thought he had caught Liu's handle and smiled proudly.
Who knows, Jing'an Hou didn't know when he returned from the Hou Mansion and returned to the gate of the mansion.
He stared at him with a pair of tiger eyes, and his eyes were full of coldness, and he shouted: "Take her to Ben Hou and don't eat for three days." If you let Ben Hou know that someone secretly sent her food, she will be severely punished! ”
Ling Yuyan knew that Jing Anhou's words were said to her daughter, and she bit her red lips tightly, with tears in her eyes, and looked at her aunt with pain.
"Hou Ye, if the concubine stays in the firewood room any longer, she will die, Hou Ye......" Ning's arrogance when facing the Liu family just now disappeared in front of Jing Anhou, and she said to Jing Anhou with tears in her eyes.
"Pull it down!"
"Yes, Master Hou."
After the Ning clan was taken away by the guards, the Marquis of Jing'an put his eyes on the Liu clan, stretched a cold face, and said in a low tone: "Correct your identity!" ”
"Yes, the concubine understands."
Liu lowered his eyes and saluted to Jing'anhou.
"Daddy......" The corners of her eyes slid down, Ling Yuyan pinched the handkerchief and wiped it, and then called Jing Anhou lightly, she wanted to try to plead for her aunt in front of Jing Anhou.
Hearing Ling Yuyan's voice, Jing Anhou's eyes became slightly gloomy, and then turned his head to look at Ling Yuyan, "Go back to your own courtyard and wait for marriage with peace of mind, your aunt's affairs are well known to my father." ”
After finishing speaking, Jing'an Hou walked back to the Hou Mansion and went straight to the study room of the main courtyard.
He only returned to the gate of the mansion because he was halfway to the study, thinking that the Ning family was not a fuel-efficient lamp, in case the woman thought that he had spared her lightly and ridiculed the Liu family, then the face of the Jing'an Hou Mansion was completely lost in the eyes of the people and magnates in the market.
What happened for two days in a row made him really headache.
Now, the concubine was summoned to the palace by the queen for a pilgrimage, why did his heart keep going up and down? Holding his hand to his heart, Jing'an Hou walked to the main courtyard, entered the study, and sat down on the chair behind the bookcase.
"Miss, the carriage in this palace is comfortable to sit in, and the furnishings in this carriage are really extravagant!" Qingying sat opposite Ling Wushuang, a pair of bright apricot eyes swept the decorations in the chariot, pouted and said to Ling Wushuang.
On the other hand, Ling Wushuang, the master, sat lazily in the carriage, closing his eyes and raising his mind. What Qing Ying said, when she leaned into the chariot, she could see it clearly, what was the queen's intention to summon her, an abandoned woman who was abandoned by the King of Qi, to the palace to meet her with such a big pomp?
Wealth she lacked nothing in her previous life, what did she not see? Is she courting her family? No, Ling Wushuang shook his head when he thought of this.
The queen in a high position has no reason to show favor to her abandoned woman! The ruddy cherry lips curled up slightly, she couldn't have listened to the rumors in the market, what the hell did she think about herself, right?
Seeing that his master didn't pay attention to what he said, Qingying pursed his mouth and said pitifully: "Miss, are you annoying the slave?" ”
Opening his eyes, Ling Wushuang looked at Qingying helplessly, "I've seen a lot of things in the future with Miss, and the furnishings in here are nothing at all." ”
Qingying blinked, "Miss, you're not joking, are you?" ”
"Do you think Miss, I look like a joker? When the three of them will explain the errand to me, they will cooperate with the five elders to handle it one by one, and you will be happy with the gold ingots rolling in. ”
"That's right!" Listening to Ling Wushuang's words, Qingying nodded his little head, and the strange gaze in his apricot eyes at the extravagant furnishings in the chariot faded a lot.
As the saying goes, if you have silver, you are afraid that you will not be able to buy rare treasures?
The master and servant continued to gossip a few words, and without much effort, the chariot passed through several noisy streets until they reached the gate of the palace.
"Miss Ling, please get off the car and transfer to a soft car."
The eunuch beside the queen got down from the carriage behind, walked to Ling Wushuang's chariot respectfully, bowed down and said.
"Hmm."
With a light response, Qingying lifted the curtain, jumped out of the car first, took the pedal and put it on the ground, and then helped Ling Wushuang to step on the pedal and step out of the chariot.
"Miss, Ling Fang is waiting for you here." Ling Fang dismounted, led the reins of the horse and walked to Ling Wushuang's approach.
"No, you can go back to the house."
Echoing Ling Fang's words in a shallow voice, Ling Wushuang walked to the soft sedan chair prepared in advance in the palace, and leaned over and sat directly in the soft sedan chair where the palace people had raised curtains for her.
Qingying pushed the empty wheelchair and the eunuch beside the queen, followed the soft sedan chair and entered the palace gate.
Glancing at the palace gate that was closed together, Ling Fang pursed the corners of his lips, turned around and led the horse to a secluded place, waiting for Ling Wushuang to leave the palace so as to escort her back to the Hou Mansion.
Whether Ling Wushuang waited to see Ling Fang or not didn't matter in Ling Fang's heart. Because in Ling Fang's heart, his master is Jing'an Hou, and the master's orders are something he can't disobey, this is Ling Fang's code of conduct.
The tip of his nose was filled with a scent of flowers, Ling Wushuang sniffed lightly, and his jade-like fingers lightly opened the corner of the sedan curtain and looked out.
As far as the eye could see, it was full of rare and exotic grasses, all kinds of flowers, and with a squint of beautiful eyes, Ling Wushuang concluded that this was the Imperial Garden.
Small bridges and flowing water, carved beams and painted buildings, strange rockeries have everything, through the imperial garden, around a clear artificial lake, and then after several luxurious palaces, the soft sedan car finally stopped.
"Grandpa Cui, you can count it back!" The little eunuch, who was not more than a year old, held the dust in his hand, trotted out of the Jiaofang Palace, bowed down and said to the eunuch.
"The miscellaneous family didn't delay for a moment, and after passing the decree to the Jing'an Hou Mansion, when Miss Ling cleaned up neatly, the miscellaneous family hurried back to the palace with her." The eunuch's surname is Cui, whose name is Hai, and he is the most powerful steward father-in-law around the queen.
"The master is afraid that he is a little anxious to wait, so he will urge the little one to come out and see if his father-in-law has returned."
The little eunuch trotted all the way from the inner hall to the door of the Jiaofang Palace, causing a lot of hot sweat to soak on his forehead, he raised his sleeves and wiped it on his forehead, and explained in a low voice to the housekeeper's father-in-law Cui Hai.
"So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and see Miss Ling, let's go in. Cui Hai instructed the little eunuch.
"Xiao Linzi has seen Miss Ling!" The little eunuch was very discerning, and after listening to the words of the steward eunuch Cui Hai, a decent smile appeared on his white and delicate face, and he bowed down to Ling Wushuang.
Ling Wushuang bowed his head and signaled that the little eunuch did not need to be polite.
The beautiful eyes glanced at the appearance of the Jiaofang Palace, and found that the entire palace was almost entirely carved with white marble.
Under the guidance of the eunuch Cui Hai, unconsciously, Ling Wushuang had been pushed by Qingying to the center of the main hall, and when he saw that in the huge hall, there were only a few palace maids and little eunuchs waiting at this moment, the corners of Ling Wushuang's lips hooked up an unknown smile.
Then I thought of the eunuch Xiao Linzi, who had just been outside the Jiaofang Palace, and what he said to the eunuch who gave her the decree, the unknown smile on the corner of Ling Wushuang's mouth made him smile a little brighter.
Does the queen want to give her a dismount?
Moving slightly, Ling Wushuang made her body in the wheelchair more comfortable, her elbows resting on the armrests of the wheelchair, her hands supporting her chin, and her eyes looked at the main hall imperceptibly.
I saw that the Ming Huang Feng chair was high up, and the material should be carefully carved with golden silk nanmu, which was brilliant and gorgeous. On the left and right sides, there are several chairs, and you don't have to think hard to think about it, you can know that it is prepared for the concubines who come to the Jiaofang Hall every day to ask for a greeting, and between each chair, they are separated by a carved coffee table of moderate height. The faint fragrance of nanmu accompanied by the breeze blowing in from outside the hall, wafting in the hall as if there was nothing.
Leading to the side of the inner hall door, there is a wide screen, the two golden phoenixes embroidered on the screen, want to spread their wings and fly high, the neck is lingering, lifelike, adding a touch of peace to this solemn palace.
With such a magnificent aura, it is no wonder that all the women in the harem are fighting to the death, wanting to live in this palace and sit on the supreme position of the mother of the country.
Retracting his gaze, Ling Wushuang reached out and pinched his eyebrows, squinted his eyes and sat on the wheelchair.
For the queen to summon her own young lady into the palace and not show up to meet her, Qingying was very dissatisfied in her heart.
She pouted, and was about to talk to her young lady about her unhappiness, when she heard footsteps coming from the direction of the inner sanctum.
Qingying swallowed back the words to her lips, lowered her head, her little face tense, and looked at the marble floor.
She made up her mind to pay attention, and then everything was instructed by her young lady.
With the support of the dumb aunt and the palace maid, the queen walked out of the inner hall with grace and sat on the wind chair.
After waiting for almost a cup of tea, she never saw Ling Wushuang's master and servant salute her, and the expression on the queen's face became a little unpleasant. She frowned slightly and looked at the eunuch Cui Hai.
Cui Hai understood, and after bowing to him, he cried out in his heart: My Aunt Ling, you are just sleepy, and you shouldn't have fallen asleep when you met the queen, right? Walking quickly to Ling Wushuang's wheelchair, Cui Haigong called respectfully: "Miss Ling, Miss Ling......"
Qingying lowered her head and rolled her eyes at the eunuch Cui Hai and the queen sitting on the wind chair several times.
As long as you let people wait, you won't wait for anyone, right? Hum! Do you think her master is so insulting? What can the queen do, since she summoned people to the palace for an audience, and let the little eunuch urge her vigorously, but she sat in the inner hall and didn't show up for a long time, isn't this playing people like monkeys?
Virtuous and virtuous, gentle and kind, a model for women in the world? It seems that it is just a trick of hers!
Thinking about this, the corners of Qingying's mouth lifted slightly, glanced at the eunuch Cui Hai, bent down and whispered in Ling Wushuang's ear: "Miss, Miss......" Seeing that her young lady still hadn't opened her eyes, Qingying pretended to be very eager, stretched out her hand and grabbed Ling Wushuang's arm and shook it lightly a few times, "Miss, the queen ......"
"Huh? Qingying, what do you say? The long and curly eyelashes shook slightly, and Ling Wushuang opened a pair of clear beautiful eyes, only to see that there was a faint hint of wistness in his eyes, "Empress? Oh, it's the queen's mother......" As he spoke, Ling Wushuang raised his slender hand and lightly frightened his head, "Look at Miss, I, I didn't check for a while, but I fell asleep." ”
In fact, this Zi Ling Wushuang was very sneering in his heart.
Give Miss Ben a dismount, then it depends on whether Miss Ben accepts it?
After tidying up his dress, Ling Wushuang raised his head, looked innocently at the queen sitting on the main throne with beautiful eyes, and opened his red lips lightly: "I don't know what the queen called Wushuang to do?" ”
Ling Wushuang didn't want to go around the bend with the queen. Therefore, she asked directly, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Miss Ling, you have to give the queen a gift first!" Cui Hai reminded Ling Wushuang in a low voice, he didn't expect that the eldest lady of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion would be so ignorant of etiquette and rules, and when he opened his mouth, he asked the queen why she had entered the palace.
Alas! Cui Hai thought about it again and said secretly: No wonder, a daughter who has been a waste straw bale for more than ten years and is not valued by Jing'an Hou can know what etiquette? What Cui Hai thought in his heart was undoubtedly different from what he felt when he saw Ling Wushuang for the first time in the Hou Mansion.
"There is no inconvenience in the legs and feet, I guess the queen mother knows it. If it was because Wushuang was unsteady on his feet, fell to the ground, and frightened the queen mother's phoenix body, it would be Wushuang's sin! The light words were enough to explain why she didn't get up and kneel down to salute the queen on the high position.
Bow? In her Ling Wushuang's heart, heaven and earth, she didn't bother to kneel, let alone let her kneel a hypocritical woman who had a bad heart and might calculate herself?
Whether it is said that she is arrogant, or that there is no one in her eyes, she is her, Ling Wushuang from another world who has impressed black and white.
It will be the 'Ling Wushuang' that impresses the continent at the moment.
Then again, if her beloved elders need her to bow down, then she will kneel in front of them without saying a word.
However, is there an elder who she loves from the bottom of her heart?
The ungrateful father, the mother who resolutely left, hehe! Thinking of this, Ling Wushuang smiled bitterly in his heart.
"Cui Hai, you step aside. Shuang'er's legs and feet are inconvenient, and the palace exempts her from etiquette, which is not impossible! "If you don't pay attention to the coldness that quickly passes under the queen's eyes, just looking at her amiable face, it will definitely make people think that she is a woman of gentle character.
"Empress Xie!" The number of courtesies that should be had, Ling Wushuang did not slack off at all.
She folded her hands and put them at her waist, just sat in a wheelchair, and bowed slightly to the queen.
Seeing this, Qingying bowed to the queen sitting on a high seat with a curtsy salute to her master, anyway, her master doesn't know the etiquette in the palace, so she, a slave, naturally doesn't know the etiquette in the palace! In order to find this excuse for herself, Qingying couldn't help but applaud her cleverness in her heart.
'Cunning girl', Ling Wushuang's eyebrows drooped slightly, and he slandered Qingying's actions just now in his heart.
What kind of master is there, what kind of girl is there, the queen sneered in her heart, is she such an unseemly, can she be a goddess? Do you want to think about it again? The Empress frowned and looked at Ling Wushuang.
looks like a beautiful embryo that captivates the country and the city, but the vulgar appearance of that body really makes her look overwhelmed.
The queen only thought so, it was because Ling Wushuang's sitting posture at this time was a little indecent, she was sitting on the wheelchair, her arms were very casually resting on the armrests on both sides of the wheelchair, and her knees were slightly open when she didn't know when she was together, although she was covered by a long skirt, but it was obvious that looking at it made people feel frivolous.
Ling Wushuang's eyes were so sharp, the look of disdain in the queen's eyes just now, her pair of crystal beautiful eyes were in full view.
Curling the corners of her lips, Ling Wushuang looked back invisibly as the queen looked at her.
Judging from her appearance, I really can't tell how old the queen is, her skin is like cream, her eyebrows are picturesque, her lips are red and her teeth are white, and her nose bridge is beautiful. However, compared with the appearance of her deity, the queen is a little ashamed.
If there is no calculating essence in her eyes from time to time, the woman in the high position is worthy of Xuanyuan's mother of the country.
The mother of the country has to talk and behave, and the etiquette norms are exemplary for women in the world. Otherwise, the pure fragmentation is just deceiving the world.
The queen of the high position, Ling Wushuang thought that he did not have this qualification.
The bright yellow brocade dress embroidered with colorful silk sets off the queen's delicate skin, which is even more white. The wide cuffs reveal a piece of jade wrists, and the jade hands are lightly folded together and placed on the knees.
Hao wore a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets made of gold on his wrist, shining with golden light, which was very dazzling. The hair bun is decorated with a phoenix hairpin inlaid with rubies, which makes the whole person as noble as this golden palace.
It's a pity, it's a pity! Those are just appearances, and I don't know what the emperor likes about that woman today, which has made her glorious for many years? Ling Wushuang retracted his gaze and sighed secretly in his heart.
"The palace is slightly sick, take a nap at noon, don't oversleep, and the harmful Shuang'er and other palaces have also slept over, hehe, it seems that Shuang'er and the palace are very fateful!" The queen looked at it just now, and had a little doubt in her heart about Ling Wushuang's noble status because of the word 'goddess'.
When Ling Wushuang was the side concubine of King Xuanyuan Qing of Qi, the queen looked down on Ling Wushuang, so that she did not summon him to the palace for three years. Now, although Ling Wushuang may have been the 'Goddess' descending into the world, her actions in the palace made the queen's thoughts about her previous slight change disappear immediately.
Being able to say the words that seemed to ease the atmosphere just now was a foolproof plan hidden in the queen's heart.
Whether Ling Wushuang was a goddess or not, the queen decided that she couldn't let Ling Wushuang marry the fool of King Lu and become a stumbling block for King Qi to sit in the position of prince.
obviously doesn't like himself, but on the other hand, he said such a set of similar words, and there must be a demon when things go wrong. Ling Wushuang hooked his lips and smiled, and replied: "If the queen mother is a mother, Wushuang doesn't dare to be. After a pause, Ling Wushuang picked up a strand of hair hanging from his chest and toyed with it, and continued: "Wushuang has a humble status, how can he talk to the noble queen mother!" ”
Slap in the face, give a sweet date to eat? Then it's so easy to get into your trap, what a scheming woman!
The palace maids and eunuchs standing in the hall all pinched a cold sweat for the woman in a wheelchair. Such a woman who doesn't know how to lift up, and she doesn't know what will happen to her? The queen mother can afford her, so she will have those words just now, the clinker woman doesn't appreciate it at all, there is a way in heaven that you don't go, and there is no door to hell.
It's not saved, it's really not saved!
But there was only one person, who looked down at Ling Wushuang's current conversation with the queen, and there was an indescribable joy in his eyes when he looked down at his toes.
That person was none other than the old palace maid who served the queen closely.
The queen listened to Ling Wushuang's words, the expression on her face became embarrassed for a while, she clenched her hands together, and then followed with Ling Wushuang with a pleasant face, "Speaking of which, Shuang'er has also been the daughter-in-law of the palace!" Therefore, the fate of this palace and Shuang'er is really not shallow. In the future, don't say that you are not an identity or anything! ”
The emperor didn't give the palace a letter, so that the palace was patient, and you had so many vulgar women, it is best to prompt you to say to the emperor that you will not marry a stupid king, and you want to return to the palace children, so as not to ask the emperor again and make the emperor unhappy.
After calculating the plan in her eyes, the queen looked at Ling Wushuang with a smile.
Is it okay for a daughter-in-law to be in the past tense? Ling Wushuang said with disdain in his heart. That is, the infatuated species of the deity, who will like your peacock emperor. Now she doesn't even remember what the so-called Xuanyuan No. 1 beautiful man Qi Wang looks like.
Looking at her own words, Ling Wushuang still didn't say the words she was expecting, the queen was annoyed, she took the teacup handed over by the pink-clothed palace maid, took a sip, and then handed it back to the waiting palace maid, and said clearly: "Shuang'er, Qing'er already knows that he is wrong, he can't pull his face away and apologize to you, so this palace wants to get an accurate word from you, are you willing to return to Qing'er?" ”
Without waiting for Ling Wushuang to answer, the queen then said earnestly: "This palace knows that you like Qing'er very much, and Qing'er has inadvertently failed your original infatuation, this matter is not right for him." As long as you nod your head and return to Qing'er, the queen mother will definitely talk to him for you. ”
"Are you kidding?" Ling Wushuang put down the hair he was playing with, and looked at the queen with a playful expression, "I think the queen should know that in the near future, Wushuang will marry King Lu according to the holy will, Niangniang said this, do you want Wushuang to ignore the holy will?" ”
Even the palace doesn't call itself anymore.,Change the name to the queen mother.,The original idea was to fight here!
Ling Wushuang's beautiful eyes blinked, and he pondered: What does it mean that the woman in the high position wants her, an abandoned woman, to return to King Qi's side? Her beauty? No, the king of human Qi is not rare at all, otherwise he would not have touched the deity for three years. Talent? Jokes, didn't she just show her hand yesterday, what kind of talent can she talk about?
Besides, what if she is talented, she is still a 'cripple'!
Glancing thoughtfully at his legs, Ling Wushuang's red lips pursed slightly.
Suddenly, a light flashed through her head, goddess? Yes, the queen was probably aiming at these two words before she said to her what she had just said that went against her own mind.
The queen thought that Ling Wushuang was afraid that the emperor would not have a good time, so she said with a smile: "As long as Shuang'er nods to the queen mother and says that she wants to return to Qing'er, the emperor, the queen mother will say it for you." ”
Do you play with her as an ignorant child? Ling Wushuang's lowered eyes flashed with sharpness, and when he looked up at the queen and replied, the sharp light dissipated, and he replied lightly: "Did the queen mother want to distort the meaning of Wushuang's words?" ”
"Huh......?" The queen's eyes trembled slightly, and she looked at Ling Wushuang in confusion.
In the spacious Jiaofang Palace, there was silence at the moment, and the palace people were calm, lowered their heads, and stood respectfully in their positions.
Looking at the queen's gaze, Ling Wushuang's beautiful eyes flashed with a cold light and greeted him, "If you say anything superfluous, Wushuang doesn't want to tell the queen more, Wushuang only knows that in a short time, Wushuang will marry King Lu as a concubine in accordance with the holy will." ”
"Huh! It's not that the queen mother said that King Lu is not good, and you don't want to think about it, can King Lu give you the happiness you want? Marrying her, what is the difference between you and a widow? Qing'er is infatuated with you, you missed your good fate for the sake of being an unworthy person, and you will definitely regret it! ”
"No regrets!"
Firm, cold eyes, the queen stood up from the chair angrily for a while, she was also tired, she didn't want to preach with this stubborn vulgar woman anymore, the dumb aunt saw this, hurriedly stretched out her arm, let the queen put her hand on it, slowly walked down the steps, and walked to the center of the hall.
"You're stubborn, for that? This palace will put the words here, whether you want it or not, you will be Qing'er's person in the end! ”
The goal has not been achieved, is it annoying and ashamed? The corners of Ling Wushuang's lips twitched, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "Is the queen mother threatening Wushuang?" ”
