Chapter 26: Someone from the Palace
"Why do you want to change your accommodation?" Murong Xi blurted out a question, her expression shocked as if she wanted to eat people.
Rust was stunned, "Probably, you think Pujia Garden is too far away?" β
Murong Xi took a deep breath, this is to walk less when she is ready to kill her?
He was hesitating to check out his new accommodation when there was a slight knock at the door.
Ye Lan: "Princess, the prince is invited-"
Murong Xi's eyebrows tightened, and she teased impatiently: "I'm not feeling well, so I won't go out today." β
Yelan: "Princess, it's from the palace." β
Murong Xi thought for a while, opened the door and looked at Ye Lan, "Someone from the palace is looking for me?" β
"It was the queen who summoned the princess." Yelan said.
The queen and her are not compatible with her in terms of identity or personality.
Especially after what happened to the county lord of Hede yesterday, Murong Xi had already guessed that it must be the county lord of Hede who went to the queen to complain, and he was going to give her a disgrace today.
Standing in place with an indescribable expression, Murong Xi's brain spun rapidly.
Entering the palace, the queen is indispensable to beat.
If she doesn't enter the palace, Jiang Huaiyin doesn't know how to face it here.
She's so hard!
After weighing, he felt that he could stop by Jishitang when he left the palace, and Murong Xi immediately made a decision, "Okay, I'm comfortable, let's lead the way." β
Yelan: ......
The princess's medical skills are really good.
-
"The minion has seen the princess."
Murong Ji kept walking with her head bored, and didn't see Father-in-law Ji, only raised her eyes when she heard the voice, and nodded slightly at Father-in-law Ji.
Gonggong Ji laughed, "The slave came to pass on the queen's decree and summon the princess into the palace." β
"When does the queen's decree need to be passed on by the chief of Ouchi himself?" Jiang Huaiyin's voice suddenly came from a distance, and Murong Xi and Ji Gonggong's faces froze at the same time, and they turned their heads to look out of the door.
After waiting for an instant, a snow-white figure slowly walked into the main hall.
Murong Xi was stunned for two seconds, and stood there obediently and didn't dare to look up.
Father-in-law Ji was stunned for a moment, and immediately returned to normal and greeted Jiang Huaiyin with a smile.
"Lord Wang, this has just returned to Beijing?"
Jiang Huaiyin was like a sculpture, standing outside the door frame, looking at Gonggong Ji coldly, "When does the whereabouts of this king still need to be courteous to Gonggong Ji?" β
Father-in-law Ji's face changed slightly, and he heard the sarcasm in his words, and hurriedly explained, "The prince can torture the slave, the slave hasn't seen the prince for a long time, and he happily said the wrong thing." β
He paused, symbolically raised his hand and slapped his mouth twice, and continued with a smile: "The queen mother looks at the princess and wants to summon the princess into the palace to talk about the recent situation of the highnessββ"
"Huh? The princess cares about Her Highness very much. Jiang Huaiyin slowly turned around and looked at Murong Xi.
Murong Xi looked back at him, his expression was full of gloom, and the wound at the corner of his lips had not yet subsided, especially on his white face.
Murong Xi's eyelids jumped suddenly, and he quickly shook his head.
Father-in-law Ji: "The princess is kind-hearted, thinking about the relationship with His Royal Highness when she was a child, and mentioned Her Royal Highness to the Queen Mother when she entered the palace a few days ago, and the Queen Mother expressed her gratitudeββ"
The more Father-in-law Ji said, the more he felt cold all around.
It was as if there were two invisible dog-headed guillotines, aimed at his neck.
But these words were ordered by His Majesty, and he had to say, so he simply closed his eyes and finished the last sentence: "It just so happened that the slave had something to do to leave the palace, so he came by the way to pass the decree." β
Murong Ji still had to maintain a dumb character in front of him, but his surprised expression was already refuting Grandpa Ji's words.
Jiang Huaiyin was silent for a few breaths, "I can't imagine that during the time when this king is away, there are still people who have a good conversation with the princess, and this king is very pleased." β
His tone was lazy, as if he was expounding a fact that had nothing to do with him, and he had always been indifferent to Murong Xi.
Murong Xi was a little relieved, she was still the former regent.
Father-in-law Ji pinched his sweat, the princess is dumb, who can talk to her very happily?
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is an excuse, and the regent wants an analysis of yin and yang.
"Then, when will it be convenient for the princess to leave?"
"Ahem!" Murong Xi pretended to be calm, coughed lightly, and walked to Grandpa Ji's side.
Use her actions to show that she can go immediately.
Father-in-law Ji always prostrated himself, and he didn't dare to move without waiting for Jiang Huaiyin's words.
The atmosphere became more and more depressing, and it pressed Ji's father-in-law's waist even more.
The two of them waited quietly, and after a while, they heard Jiang Huaiyin hum without emotion: "Go early and return early." β
Ji Gonggong's heart finally let go.
Murong Xi's mood was suddenly depressed.
What does it mean to go early and return early?
He's hinting to her that something will happen when he comes back?
Thinking of the scene of last night's social death, Murong Xi's eyes kept turning outward, eager to poke a hole in the sky, and then stretched out a hand to grab her to the sky.
She doesn't want to live anymore!
Thinking about Jiang Huaiyin's unclear words all the way, when Murong Xi tried to pull back his thoughts, he was already standing in Changchun Palace, waiting for the palace maid to invite the queen.
The queen lazily leaned on the chaise longue in the dormitory, and there was a swollen eye Lord Hede beside her, sobbing from time to time.
The queen put down the teacup and didn't rush to see Murong Xi, "Hede, you can't listen to your father's words, and you can't listen to your aunt's words?" Everyone in the world has the opportunity to marry the regent, but you can't. β
"Why can't I?" Lord Hede was emotional, and tears of grievance poured out again, "When I was twelve years old, I fell into the water, and it was the Nine Emperor Uncle who happened to pass by and saved me, and since then, I have known that the Nine Emperor Uncle also has thoughts about me!" β
The queen was already calloused in hearing these words, and her mouth was about to burst, "It was the regent who called the guards next to him to save you." β
He retorted to the county lord, "Even if it is a guard, it is also under the instructions of the Nine Emperor Uncles, and they are rounded off, what is the difference between it and the Nine Emperor Uncles saving me?" Aunt has seen that Uncle Nine Emperor ordered the guards to save the other girls? β
The queen had a cold face, and endured some words for a long time, but she couldn't hold back after all, "You retreat left and right and don't let anyone pass by that jade lake, and jump into the water by yourself, if the regent doesn't order someone to save you, won't you have to bear the infamy of not saving you when you see death?" β
Lord Hede paused for a moment and continued to cry: "I just want to confirm the heart of the Nine Emperor Uncles-"
"And Virtue." The queen straightened up and looked at her squarely, "Don't forget that your surname is Shen, and you are the niece of this palace and the concubine of the Shen Mansion. What do you think this palace can know, he Jiang Huaiyin will not be aware of it? β
The Shen family was the first group of forces to oppose Jiang Huaiyin in the court situation.
If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have been able to get her position so easily.
Although Jiang Huaiyin didn't die for Lord Hedejun, both the queen and Shen Guogong understood that he just disdained it.
Only Hede, a silly girl, would mistakenly think that Jiang Huaiyin was interested in her.
Lord Hede cried even more fiercely, and threw himself into the queen's arms, "But I can't bear it, I can't forget it, and I hate Murong Xi even more for using means to marry him." Auntie, I'm so sadβyou didn't see them in the carriage yesterday, wowβ"
The queen has always doted on Hede, and even discussed with Shen Guogong to promote the marriage between Hede and the eldest prince.
Hearing Hede's sad cry, her heart softened, once she also walked the road of the girl's Huaichun, the feeling of throbbing and being ignored was more painful than cutting meat.
Sighing lightly, the queen gently patted the back of Lord Hede's heart, "Don't worry, with my aunt here, I can breathe for you from the side." β
As for family affairs-
The queen lowered her eyes slightly and swallowed.
