Chapter 504: Clues
Because of He Yan's death, the Queen Mother has not held a birthday banquet for two years, seeing that the May birthday is approaching, there is Concubine Yuan Xian on the side, Dou Fu'an and Gao Yuxiang's two henchmen also spare no effort to lobby, the Queen Mother naturally nodded and agreed, but she still explained the birthday banquet to Lan Jieyu, Concubine Yuan Xian, the first advocate, did not have any benefits, and naturally she was indignant.
At noon on this day, the Queen Mother was listening to Lan Jieyu's report on trivial palace affairs and the preparation process of the birthday banquet, Gao Yuxiang pinched her shoulders for her, Xie Ying served tea and handed water by her side, and not far away, there was Eleven Niang who was dedicated to painting a peony painting screen for her, bathing in the soft warmth of the spring sun and enjoying the breeze, extremely comfortable and comfortable, Princess Ruyang, an uninvited guest, fell from the sky.
Although it is not as good as Xiao Wei's privilege to go directly to Penglai Palace, she is also the princess of the county, of course the queen mother will not refuse to see it, but the princess of Ruyang usually does not come to please and flatter, and the queen mother also thought that she was going to the Three Treasures Hall without anything, and her relaxed and happy mood was somewhat disturbed by this uninvited guest, and she did not retreat from the side, only let Lan Jieyu go to deal with internal affairs, but left Xie Ying and Eleven Niang behind.
Because she heard He Zhan mention Qin Ji's own plan, and heard some rumors outside the palace recently, she had her own judgment on Princess Ruyang's intentions, but Xie Ying was too lazy to waste her heart on these inconsequential things, and saluted Princess Ruyang with a cold face, showing that she was inseparable from the Ruyang Wang's party.
Eleven Niang still had a calm and solemn posture as usual, and after saluting, she continued to paint the picture screen without distraction, but secretly pricked up her ears to listen to Princess Ruyang.
"Queen Mother, the concubine can plead with the Queen Mother for Brother Fen today to uphold justice." Princess Ruyang didn't beat around the bush, and immediately got straight to the point after seeing her, first said this sentence without grievances, and her tone immediately changed to indignant: "The Marquis of Wuwei Mansion really doesn't know what to do, and the deception is too much!" ”
"Liuniang, first present the princess with a glass of peach syrup, and let her lower the fire." As soon as the Queen Mother heard this, she sneered in her heart, and did not take the initiative to ask the Marquis of Wuwei Mansion why she didn't know what was wrong, but stacked up the next sentence without warning.
Knowing the intention, Xie Ying immediately poured a cup of peach syrup, and handed it to Princess Ruyang without smiling: "The princess has something to say slowly, first calm her anger, in front of her aunt and grandmother, shouldn't she be so angry and angry, so that others can misunderstand that the princess is accusing her aunt and grandmother of being unfair." ”
Princess Ruyang was choked by these words, so she had to lead her body to say a word of rudeness, and her tone really softened: "It's not that the concubine is angry, but I really feel sorry for Brother Fen, it was when I was old, because of the confession of the king of the county, the concubine mentioned to Mrs. Wuwei Hou that she wanted to marry the second mother of the Qin family for Brother Fen, and Mrs. Hou did not refuse, only said that her granddaughter wanted to mourn for her brother, and she had to wait until she was removed...... The concubine only thought that there would be no more variables in this matter, so she reported the good news to Brother Fen to make him feel at ease. ”
Looking at the queen and expressionless, she was obviously unhappy, but Princess Ruyang did not stop, and continued: "It turned out that Brother Fen happened to see Qin Erniang, and he fell in love at first sight, and learned that the marriage had been settled, of course he was overjoyed, and hated that time passed too slowly, and he was bedridden for Qin Erniang's lovesickness, and it was easy to take care of his body, and he also looked forward to Qin Erniang's dismissal, and the concubine body of course had to go to the Hou Mansion to negotiate this matter."
Who expected that Mrs. Hou changed her words at this time, saying that his granddaughter had been promised to the Jiang family early in the morning, this was not intended to play tricks on the clan? If Erniang had really decided on the family affair earlier, why didn't she say it directly at the beginning, and only delayed it through oral mourning...... The duke of the Fen brother's dignified clan, of course, will not act to persecute the marriage, but he has ten percent hope in front of him, where did he expect it to be disappointed, he was sad, and he fell ill again, and the concubine can only be comforted, but he is also very unhappy for Fen Di, if it wasn't for the Wuwei Marquis Mansion at the beginning, but he regretted it when it came to the end, how could Fen Di suffer from these two illnesses! ”
The more Princess Ruyang spoke, the more annoyed she became: "In the past few days, there have been a lot of gossip in the market, all saying that Qin's Erniang was bent on climbing high at first, trying to marry into the world, but she was repeatedly disliked, and she didn't want to be favored by the clan, so she thought that she would fly on the branches, who knows, it turns out that Qin Erniang didn't like Zhao Guogong at all, and would rather marry the son of Xungui, Brother Fen can be regarded as losing face this time!" These gossips may be deliberately spread by the Marquis of Wuwei in an attempt to save Qin Erniang's reputation, but some people are talking about it, saying that Qin Erniang was originally talented and outstanding, otherwise where would the dignified duke fall in love at first sight and become lovesick? But Qin Erniang is noble and refined, not greedy for wealth and nobility, so she would rather marry her childhood sweetheart's cousin. ”
When Shi Niang heard this, of course she knew that what Zhao Guogong said about Qin Ji at first sight was made up by the Ruyang Palace, but the remarks about the Qin family's Erniang being noble and refined were not the nonsense of Princess Ruyang, it should be Qin Ji's plan, deliberately provoking the Ruyang Palace, so that they would not let go to the Queen Mother.
"Aunt and grandmother, Ying'er listened to the princess's words, but she didn't understand why the Marquis of Wuwei didn't know what to do and deceived people too much." Xie Yingcai didn't care if it was rude or disrespectful for her rash interjection, and said to herself: "The matter of marriage, you have to pay attention to willingness, even if the prince of Zhao Guo is a clan, you can't be forced to marry and persecution, of course the Marquis of Wuwei can refuse, how can you not know what to do?" ”
Seeing Princess Ruyang staring at her angrily, Xie Ying replied with a smile: "It's impossible to talk about deceiving people too much, Mrs. Hou didn't agree to the marriage before, but the princess herself misunderstood, as for those rumors, does the princess have evidence to prove that the Marquis of Wuwei has the intention to spread them?" ”
Since Princess Ruyang is all speculation, of course the Queen Mother does not have to administer justice.
The Queen Mother didn't blame Xie Ying for being rude, and taught Princess Ruyang with a straight face: "You are also a mother, it is better for a boudoir daughter to understand things, if it weren't for your own publicity He Fen's love for the Qin family girl at first sight, where would it be so popular, outsiders would not know at all." It's good now, He Fen's marriage proposal was rejected, he lost the face of the clan, he deserved to have no face to see people, he should recuperate at home quietly, you should rest quietly, and the discussion will naturally subside in a short time. ”
What is love at first sight, coaxing ghosts, when she is old and confused, don't you know that this is a farce deliberately tossed out by He Qi? It is obvious that she blames Wu Weihou for serving her, so she does not give up, and talks about things with the dignity of the clan, trying to coerce her to marry Qin's daughter to He Fen, so that Wu Weihou will no longer be able to gain her trust, and it can be regarded as revenge Wu Weihou does not know what to do.
It would be a joke if she even stepped on such a clear trap.
Princess Ruyang returned in vain, but it was also expected by the King of Ruyang, so he didn't care much, of course he hoped that the Queen Mother would be fooled, and Wuwei Hou would become a waste of chess, but he also understood that the Queen Mother would not be so stupid, and the calculation would be eight out of ten \/nine would fail, but it was just such a trouble, Qin's daughter had to marry and match, and it was impossible to climb to the top of the prestige, and it was considered to have achieved a slight revenge purpose, and she breathed a bad breath.
As for Wu Weihou, when he achieves great things in the future and commands the world, there is a time when he regrets it, and it is not too late to teach him a hard lesson!
The most pitiful person became Zhao Guogong, where did he fall in love with Qin Ji at first sight? I don't know what the woman looks like, but I have heard that Qin Erniang has been repeatedly disliked by the prestige, and secretly laughed at this woman for not knowing herself, at first the brother intended to let him marry Qin Erniang, He Fen was unwilling, but he was cowardly, and he didn't dare to disobey his brother, so he had to agree, but he didn't expect that this time he became such a big laughing stock.
Of course, it was inevitable to complain in his heart that the eldest brother didn't think about him at all, so he didn't dare to say it.
He Qi was bent on planning big things, and he didn't have the leisure to experience his younger brother's embarrassment, but he didn't know that the matter of his malicious revenge on Wuweihou was publicized by the Queen Mother, and many scholars knew the truth and were secretly discussing: It is said that Corporal Wang Lixian of Ruyang is a big and Hongda, but he never thought that it was just a superficial article, and he was narrow-minded and narrow-minded and would be repaid, and he didn't even care about his compatriots and siblings. In the future, if he gains power, I am afraid that he will also cross the river and tear down the bridge.
In this game, the Queen Mother won a big victory, but even she didn't expect that He Qi's narrow-mindedness was actually used by Qin Ji.
