In the imperial study, Princess Huairou cried so much that pear blossoms brought rain.

"Father, you know that I have the intention of Brother Yun Ash, why do you still make this marriage will?"

The emperor's expression was as usual, and he even looked at Princess Huairou with a sense of oppression that was not angry and arrogant, and said lightly: "Rou'er, if you have no intention of him, maybe the holy decree has not been issued so quickly." ”

Princess Huairou's thoughts about Xie Yunyan were almost written on her face, how could she not know as an emperor?

And the relationship between the empress and Concubine Lian is harmonious on the surface, but what is behind the scenes, the emperor knows better than anyone else.

On the day when Xie Yunyan took the official silver of the Marquis of Shu'an, the emperor intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the marriage of Princess Huairou in order to reward Xie Yunyan.

It was also this proposal that was interrupted by Xie Yunyan, and he exchanged his merits for a marriage proposal on the spot.

Originally, the emperor was not optimistic about Princess Huairou and Xie Yunyan, but at this point, it can be regarded as an end.

Princess Huairou cried unwillingly: "Father, you have always loved Rou'er the most, can you take back the holy decree and re-establish Brother Yun Ember as a concubine?" ”

"You don't joke, how can the holy decree be accepted when you say it?" The emperor looked at her with some displeasure, and the youngest daughter was really spoiled.

Princess Huairou saw the anger in the emperor's eyes, but when she thought that Xie Yunyan was going to marry someone else, she might have to say goodbye to Xie Yunyan forever if she didn't fight for it.

"Then it's better for my father to make another will, allowing me to be the wife of Brother Yun Ash-"

"Bang!"

The emperor picked up the white jade paperweight on the table and slapped it violently, shaking the entire imperial study as if it were trembling.

Princess Huairou suddenly fell silent, and her small body stood trembling in the center of the imperial study.

Gonggong Su came in from outside the door with his head bowed and whispered: "Your Majesty, Concubine Lian asks to see you." ”

"Hmph, it's just in time, let her in and see what kind of good daughter she has taught."

Concubine Lian walked in with a bowl of bird's nest soup, and a luxurious full-breasted skirt swayed from side to side with her steps, with a faint fragrance, and came to the emperor to stop.

"Rou'er is presumptuous, and you still don't apologize to your father?"

Princess Huairou endured her grievances and gave a blessing: "Father is angry, Rou'er is wrong." ”

Her tone was perfunctory and stubborn, and it didn't sound like she was truly repentant.

The emperor's face was gloomy, and he wanted to continue the attack, but Concubine Lian hurriedly handed over the bird's nest soup to flattering and persuading in a soft voice:

"Your Majesty, Rou'er is still young, don't be like her. Turning around, the concubine must have said a good thing about her. ”

Concubine Lian is in her thirties, but she is very well maintained, her waist is as thin as a willow, and there is no trace of age on her face, full and glowing with a faint cherry luster.

Especially the two strands of green silk that naturally hang down on the sideburns in front of the ears, although it is inappropriate to describe them as delicate and cute, it really reduces her age a lot, and she looks no older than Princess Huairou.

She bent her eyes and smiled at the emperor, and the emperor's angry mood really calmed down.

"You, look at what you've taught Rou'er?"

"Yes, yes, it's all the concubine's fault, the concubine will definitely look at Rou'er in the future, let her and Ye'er learn more, and promise not to make Your Majesty angry again."

At the mention of Chu Huaiye, the emperor's eyes moved, "The fourth child has been An Sheng recently, and he is a little different from his temperament." ”

Concubine Lian held the spoon in her hand, gently stirred the bird's nest soup in her hand, and her lips opened lightly: "What Ye'er is busy with, the concubines don't understand, the concubines only know that His Majesty hasn't come to find the concubines in the past few days——"

That touch of loss was very good, and the emperor was really itching.

With a wave of his hand, Father-in-law Su immediately walked out of the imperial study with Princess Huairou.

And in the imperial study, there is a rippling spring.

……

After returning to Zhongcui Palace, Concubine Lian tidied up her slightly messy sideburns before stepping into the main hall.

Princess Huairou had already cried so much that her eyes were red and swollen, and when she saw Concubine Lian, she immediately got up and rushed over.

"Mother-"

"Shut up!"

At this moment, Concubine Lian no longer has the charm of serving the emperor, but has a yin and evil attitude similar to the four princes.

"I don't want to be counted down by your fourth brother, before the Xie family boy gets married, you will give this palace less to provoke your father."

Concubine Lian is also counting on the four princes to ascend to the sky in one step and make her the most noble queen mother in the harem.

Huairou is emotional, and repeatedly stimulates the emperor, but it may involve the emperor's impression of the four princes.

Then their mother and son's plan will be ruined.

What's more, she has also heard about the affairs of the Hou Mansion of Shu'an recently.

My brother sent a message to her, telling her to stay away for the time being, and she didn't dare to let Huairou go to the emperor's eyes.

Removing the armor on his hand and resting it on the table, Concubine Lian said coldly: "This palace has spoiled you all these years, but this palace has warned you more than once, but you have repeatedly taught you." Come! ”

The palace maid immediately sent a roster.

Concubine Lian fell mercilessly on Princess Huairou, "Take it back and take a good look, here is the candidate for the horse selected by the palace for you, regardless of your character and family background, you can rest assured, you must give me a result within three days." ”

Princess Huairou stiffly looked up at Concubine Lian, "Mother? Even you don't love Rou'er anymore? ”

Concubine Lian closed her eyes and didn't want to look at Princess Huairou's pitiful appearance, she rubbed her temples, and her tone was quite helpless, "Do you still know that I am your mother?" If you know him, you should see him as an enemy, not a concern for him. ”

"Do you think that even if you marry into the Xie family by virtue of your status as a princess, what good fruit can the Xie family give you to eat? Huairou, you are not young anymore, why can't you see the state of affairs clearly with a pair of good-looking eyes? ”

Princess Huairou silently lowered her head.

Her identity with Xie Yunyan is the most embarrassing existence in Qi Guoli.

Just because her mother has been favored all the year round, she is the thorn in the queen's side that she wants to get rid of the fastest.

And her fourth brother is also infinitely beautiful, and the three princes born from the queen are in a-for-tat confrontation for the succession.

But she fell in love with the queen's nephew-

"Yes, what the concubine said is right, I will restrain my thoughts in the future. But please give me some time, I really can't do it if I want to marry someone else so soon. ”

Concubine Lian is also a woman, and she also has a beloved, and she has experienced the pain of not being able to love.

At this moment, I was somewhat moved by Huairou's sluggish attitude.

"Hey, it's good that you know, you have to remember that the mother concubine and your fourth brother are helping you no matter what they do, and they will never harm you."

Later, what Concubine Lian said, Princess Huairou couldn't remember clearly.

She walked out of the palace in a daze, night had fallen, and the night breeze blew lightly, blowing her heart empty.

……

"What sound?"

After Ning Shu bathed, she leaned comfortably on the chair and let Long Shan dry her hair.

Long Shan said lightly: "It's the second girl who is playing the piano." ”

Ning Jiao has been proficient in the piano since she was a child, and her piano sound can often be heard in the house from time to time.

This time it was the first time I heard it after returning to Kyoto, which surprised Ning Shu.

The melody of the piano is full of heart-wrenching emotions, and it is not difficult to hear how the mood of the person who plays the piano is lost.

Ning Shutian smiled unexpectedly, listening to the beautiful melody with a calm expression.

"My sister's heart seems to be a little broken."
