Chapter 15: New Eyeliner
Murong Ji tossed and turned all night, and felt more and more that he had to reconcile with Jiang Huaiyin as soon as possible.
Then he flew away, away from the capital, a place of right and wrong.
Sleepy-eyed and got up, the egret had already set up breakfast.
"Princess, Miss Qu Lan was already sent out of the city last night, and declared to the outside world that Qu Lan had offended the prince, and the prince had already put people to death."
Murong Xi was instantly sleepy, "Will the prince agree to bear this infamy?" β
Bai Lu smiled lightly, "Princess, it was the prince who personally sent the words before leaving. β
Murong Xi scratched her head, when did Jiang Huaiyin speak so well?
"The prince has set off?" She thought about whether to be polite, and the egret replied that Jiang Huaiyin had already left before dawn.
Just what she wants!
Murong Xi is in a good mood, and now she is the only one left in the huge palace, and her rotten life seems to be officially started.
After breakfast, Lin Rust walked in in a hurry, his rough voice always accompanied by a shy and timid expression, not to mention that it was more like a woman than a white heron, but more like a woman than Murong Xi.
"The princess ~ someone from the palace said that the Queen Mother summoned her."
Jiang Huaiyin's words really came true.
β¦β¦
In Cining Palace, Mama Yu was standing on the side of the chaise longue, rubbing her shoulders for the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother propped her chin and sighed: "The mourning family thought that Qu Lan's chess piece was successful, but he still killed him in the end. β
Mama Yu comforted: "The Queen Mother is not angry. β
The Queen Mother opened her eyes suddenly, and calmly stared at the incense burner in front of her in the shape of a unicorn beast, "How can you not be angry?" In a year, the people sent by the mourning family were executed one after another, where is he killing people? It's obviously a slap in the face of the mourners! β
"The Queen Mother is angry, those are just a group of chess pieces, and with the reflection of those people, it is more important to make the princess even more important." Mama Yu persuaded repeatedly.
Speaking of Murong Xi, the Queen Mother's complexion softened slightly.
The straightened upper body leaned back again, and said lightly: "Ji'er is a dumb person in the end, this coaxing man, fifty percent of them rely on beauty, and most of them still need a clever mouth." Heyβ"
Mama Yu put on a new cup of tea for the Queen Mother, "But the princess still survived in the hands of the prince, which shows that there is still a turning point in this matter." β
"I'm afraid she won't be motivated!" The Queen Mother's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Ji'er grew up watching the mourning family, and she seems to value the prince more than Lao Jiu's rebel son." β
The Queen Mother put down her hand, tightly grabbed the brocade quilt covering her lap, and said fiercely: "The eldest prince is also old, but the queen is reluctant to open up the marriage. β
Mama Yu was about to say something, but there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall door, and she was silent.
After a few breaths, Murong Xi, under the leadership of the palace maid, broke into sight.
The Queen Mother's eyes softened, she lifted the small quilt, got up and pulled Murong Xi, who was in the blessed body, "Silly boy, you still see the mourning family like this, and you are still angry because of what happened before?" β
The kindness in the Queen Mother's words does not seem to be a fake, if Murong Xi hadn't heard the truth Qu Lan said, she would really think that the Queen Mother was sincerely good to her.
And right now, Murong Xi only felt a burst of disgust.
If a person's mask is worn for a long time, it is really as if it is embedded in the face, and there is no clue to be seen.
Murong Xi smiled quietly, and let the Queen Mother take her hand and sit on the chaise longue.
The Queen Mother said again: "Has Huaiyin neglected you recently? β
Murong Ji maintained a mute personality, shaking his head and smiling.
The Queen Mother sighed, "Silly boy, if you are angry in the palace, come and talk to the mourning family." You also grew up under the nose of the mourning family, and the mourning family knows that you are so angry. β
Murong Xi suppressed the emotions in her eyes, her clear eyes rippled slightly, and she looked at the Queen Mother with a slight moisture.
She wanted to see through this glance the true purpose of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother smiled.
Hold her hand tighter, "He'er, now you just can't speak, but really, you should also call the mourning family a queen mother." The mourning family owes Huaiyin too much to the child, you are also a piece of meat in the heart of the mourning family, twisting the two of you together, the intention of the mourning family is very simple, just simply hoping that the children that the mourning family likes can support each other and become a good story in Qianguo. β
Murong Xi sneered in her heart.
Supporting each other?
It's almost the same as the two look at each other.
She and Jiang Huaiyin don't like each other and repel each other.
What's more, because she is the queen mother's person, Jiang Huaiyin can't wait to get rid of it quickly.
How can it be a good story?
The big joke is pretty much the same.
There was even more such thing as avoiding the child's soup, and Murong Xi felt more and more that the old woman in front of her was sinister.
The Queen Mother didn't see any disgust at all from her face, and only said: "I heard that the palace maid next to you provoked Huaiyin?" Is there any anger against you? β
Murong Xi couldn't help frowning, what happened just last night, the Queen Mother knew about it this morning?
It seems that no matter how cruel Jiang Huaiyin's methods are, he still can't clear the eyeliner hidden in the palace.
The Queen Mother looked at Murong Xi suspiciously, "You don't know? β
Murong Xi nodded and looked back at the Queen Mother innocently.
Mama Yu handed out the pen and paper in a timely manner, and Murong Xi hurriedly took it and wrote: [No wonder the maid who was waiting this morning was changed, and Mama Yu entered the palace in a hurry and didn't ask in detail. γ
The Queen Mother understood, "I see." β
Immediately, she handed Mama Yu a look, Mama Yu understood, turned around and went out, and after a while, she invited several palace maids into the hall.
The Queen Mother stroked Murong Xi's hand for a while, and her smile was so real that she couldn't see any falsehood.
"Since Qu Lan is gone, then why should there be a trustworthy person by your side, these are all from Cining Palace, trustworthy, you look at the selection."
After that, the Queen Mother took a sip of tea and waited for Murong Xi to make her own choice.
Murong Xi looked sideways at the group of palace maids, good guys, both mother and son are the same dog.
The decisions made were made without asking for her opinion, and they were all in a tone that could not be ignored.
She casually pointed to a palace maid, and smiled and nodded at the Queen Mother indifferently.
Mama Yu motioned for the palace maid to stay, and the rest quietly withdrew.
"The princess has a good eye, although Shen Yue is young, she is the most calm of these."
Her compliments Murong Xi listened to with her left ear and came out with her right ear.
What about calmness?
It's just a new eyeliner.
Murong Xi smiled back, picked up the pen and wrote some polite words to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother saw that she was as well-behaved as ever, and seemed to have forgotten about kneeling in the snow and begging for peace, and her hanging heart was slightly lowered, and she smiled and tried it:
"Huaiyin is also a big boss, when will you let the mourning family hold a grandchild?"
Murong Ji paused for a moment to lift the pen, and wrote with a smile: [The prince has a lot of opportunities, and rarely goes to the back house, I'm afraid the queen mother will have to wait for a while. γ
She pushed the paper in front of the Queen Mother's eyes, staring closely at the Queen Mother's expression, and the fleeting satisfaction did not escape her eyes.
Murong Xi had a bold guess.
The Queen Mother, I want Jiang Huaiyin to cut off her children and grandchildren!
The idea is not unrealistic.
From beginning to end, the Queen Mother supported the current emperor.
The presence of the regent was the greatest threat to the emperor.
Only the emperor's heirs are prosperous, and Jiang Huaiyin has no children under his knees, so the smoke of this conspiracy will be successful in the next generation at the latest.
Murong Xi stepped on the snow with one shallow foot, suddenly fixed his steps, and looked back at the gate of Cining Palace with deep eyes.
It's chilling that a mother can do that!
