Chapter 368: Foolishness is useless
Xie Wan learned that when Empress Dowager Chen invited her to go to Cining Palace with Li Yu for dinner in the evening, she knew that this glass was not in vain.
Li Yu didn't react much when he heard this, he just said to Xie Wan: "The queen mother was not very smart when she was young, and now that she is old, it will only be worse than before, if you can get along with her, if you can't, it doesn't matter, you don't need to deliberately please." ”
Xie Wan smiled: "Don't worry, I don't like to suffer losses in this temperament." If you can't stand it, you won't catch up. ”
Li Yu snorted, didn't say anything more, and walked side by side with her to Cining Palace.
It can be seen that Empress Dowager Chen specially ordered the imperial dining room, and the meals were much richer than the regulations.
The meal was a little dull, and Xie Wan started a few words, although Mama hinted at it for a long time, Empress Dowager Chen didn't answer.
So she stopped talking.
When Li Yu was about to leave with Xie Wan after finishing the meal, Empress Dowager Chen opened her mouth with a tea cup: "The mourning family heard that Prince Cheng became friendly with the queen when he never returned to the palace?" ”
Xie Wan glanced at her when she heard this, and replied truthfully: "But there is such a thing, when the concubine was married, Prince Cheng once carried the concubine on the sedan chair as a brother. ”
Empress Dowager Chen sneered: "When Xian'er was alive, she took care of you a lot, and even had the idea of accepting you as a concubine, and Prince Cheng surrendered his identity to send you to marry." Your Majesty is even more reluctant to marry you, you are really amazing. ”
Li Yu frowned at her when she heard this: "What does the queen mother mean?" ”
Boom!
Empress Dowager Chen put down the teacup violently, glared at him angrily and said, "The mourning family can't even tell the truth to her now?!" ”
Li Yu's face turned cold when he heard this, and he was about to speak, when Xie Wan pulled Li Yu's sleeve and interrupted him.
Li Yu glanced at her, took a deep breath, and finally remained silent.
Empress Dowager Chen was even more annoyed when she saw this scene: "You are the emperor of a country, and you actually obey a woman!" knew that this was the case, even if the mourning family fought for this life, you would never be allowed to marry her! ”
Seeing this, Mama hurriedly changed a cup of tea for her, and said in a low voice: "Niangniang......"
Empress Dowager Chen glanced at her, took a sip of the teacup, looked at Xie Wan and said: "What is going on between you and Your Majesty in private, the mourning family can't ask, and I don't plan to ask, but as a queen, you should be like a queen, tinkering with some messy things all day long to buy people's hearts, and let Your Majesty obey you, what do you want to do?!" ”
"How can you say that the girl who was born after Xin Qing was born is the blood of Xian'er, you set her to Xie Lin early, what is your intention?! Although Xie Lin is still young, he is an outsider after all, what kind of system has he become if he has been staying in the palace?! The Hou Mansion is full of your people, is it possible that you are still afraid that they will bully him?! ”
Xie Wan understood.
Her glass did not give it away, but it aroused the jealousy in the heart of Empress Dowager Chen.
Li Qiong didn't recognize her, but she was good friends with herself, and she regarded herself as a brother, Li Yu was indifferent to him, but she was warm to herself, not to mention Emperor Wen Zhao, who hated her before he died, and didn't want to look at her, but talked to himself alone.
Empress Dowager Chen felt that she was isolated, and instead of looking for her own problems, she attributed all the reasons to Xie Wan.
To be exact, it doesn't matter who the problem is, she is just unhappy that when she is isolated, Xie Wan is loved by everyone.
She needs a punching bag, and Xie Wan is the best one.
If it was a matter on the side, Xie Wan could still endure it, but Empress Dowager Chen took Xie Lin's matter, and Xie Wan couldn't bear it.
She pressed Li Yu, who was about to speak, and looked at Empress Dowager Chen and said lightly: "Xie Lin lives in the palace, it is indeed the selfishness of the concubine, after all, Xie Lin is too young, leaving him alone in the Hou Mansion, the concubine really can't rest assured." This matter was also agreed by His Majesty. ”
"Xie Lin lives in the Jiaotai Palace, if it is not for the summons, he will not step into the harem half a step, and he lives and studies on weekdays, and he is also in the Jiaotai Palace, and it will not affect others, as for the marriage mentioned by the queen mother, it is actually just a casual remark by Concubine Xin, the concubine and her have not exchanged tokens, let alone made a covenant, at best it is just a joke between close friends in the boudoir."
Empress Dowager Chen snorted coldly when she heard this: "Jokes? I'm afraid that if you have ambitions, you can't say it clearly, so you can only cover it up by laughing. ”
Xie Wan's expression finally cooled down when she heard this.
She looked at the Empress Dowager Chen and said: "People's hearts are flesh and blood, and the concubine said to her mother as early as when she was in the Hou Mansion that you have the grace to raise Your Majesty, but you have no concubine." The concubine upholds filial piety and gives birth to the same mother to explain, if the queen mother insists on not listening, then it is okay not to explain. ”
"To be honest, the queen mother may not like to hear it. No matter what happens to the concubines and His Majesty in the future, Xie Lin is the marquis, even if he has no power in the future, it is more than enough to have a princess! The first emperor has passed away, the Xin family is in decline, if this family business can really be done, it is not the concubines who take advantage. ”
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Chen stood up suddenly, glared at her angrily and said, "Xie Wan! You're too rampant! Xian'er's bloodline, is it possible that he is not worthy of a Xie Lin?! ”
Xie Wan also stood up, met her gaze and said, "The concubine has always regarded the queen mother as a mother-in-law to be filial, but the queen mother doesn't seem to treat the concubine as a daughter-in-law. The queen mother said that the concubines were rampant, but the concubines felt that it was precisely because the concubines were not rampant enough that the queen mother attacked the concubines today. ”
"In the future, the concubines will not come to the same mother to say goodbye, and the queen mother does not have to invite the concubines to come over for dinner, this meal cannot be digested by the concubines!"
After saying this, Xie Wan turned around and left.
Empress Dowager Chen yelled at her: "Stop! ”
Xie Wan didn't stop, and walked directly outside.
Empress Dowager Chen was so angry that her hands trembled, and she yelled at the surroundings: "Someone! Stop her for the mourners! ”
Rushi and Ruhua immediately stepped forward, blocked in front of Xie Wan, and opened the way for Xie Wan.
The two of them had a cold look on their faces, and their murderous aura was overflowing, and the palace people of Cining Palace didn't dare to step forward at all.
"You guys! You're going to be angry and mourning! Empress Dowager Chen clutched her chest and looked at Li Yu: "Li Yu! You can't tolerate her bullying her family like this?! ”
As early as when Xie Wan turned around, Li Yu had already gotten up, he looked at the Empress Dowager Chen and said, "Since the queen mother loves to worship the Buddha, why don't you keep saluting?" ”
After saying this, he took his eyes off Empress Dowager Chen and turned to leave.
Empress Dowager Chen looked at the back of him and Xie Wan leaving, and breathed a stalk in her chest: "You...... You unfilial ......"
Suddenly, her eyes went black and she fell.
Mama grabbed her and exclaimed, "Mother! Empress! Hurry up and announce the Imperial Doctor! ”
Li Yu frowned and turned his head, looked at the fainted Empress Dowager Chen, pursed her lips and said nothing.
Xie Wan, who arrived at the door, naturally heard the movement, and she said to Li Yu: "I'll go back first, you accompany her, after all, she is your queen mother." ”
Li Yu retracted his gaze when he heard this, raised his feet and came to her side and said lightly: "No need, I am not a doctor, and it is useless to accompany me." Heart disease also needs heart medicine, if the queen mother keeps drilling the horns, it is useless for anyone to accompany her. Foolishness and filial piety will only harm others and oneself. ”
