Chapter 165: A Business of One Million Taels of Silver
"Meow ......"
Shen Lingxi was awakened by the cry of the snow ball.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Xue Tuan with a pair of glass-like mandarin duck eyes, looking at her curiously.
Seeing Shen Lingxi wake up, Xuetuan was very excited, rolled around her hand, and rubbed it.
Shen Lingxi has been outside the palace these days, he hasn't seen it for a long time, and when he came to Shoukang Palace yesterday, he didn't see any trace of it.
She thought it had been reincarnated, but she didn't expect it to remain with the Queen Mother.
"I miss you, and you won't go out of the palace to see me."
Shen Lingxi chuckled and muttered, subconsciously reaching out to touch its cat's head.
However, this action reminded her coldly of what happened between her and Chu Yan yesterday.
Shen Lingxi's cheeks were slightly red, and he withdrew his hand.
Unconsciously, I remembered the dream I had last night.
If you really calculate it, it was because His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun collected the body for her.
Therefore, after being reborn, thinking of the emotion when she was properly buried after she died in vain, she made up her mind to be a corpse person.
With today's achievements, coupled with the matter of his little aunt, Shen Lingxi felt that he should really thank him.
can thank you for gratitude, and it is a bit outrageous to talk about "getting married".
Yesterday her mind was a mess, and she didn't have a clue at all.
At this moment, Shen Lingxi sat up, sat at the head of the bed with his knees crossed, looked at the snow ball in front of him, and finally had time to sort out his thoughts.
"Xue Tuan, you said that he clearly said in front of the emperor yesterday that he already had a 'happy' person, but as soon as he went out, he mentioned 'marrying' to me......
Xue Tuan tilted his head to look at her, also confused: "Meow ......"
Shen Lingxi's light flashed, "You said, if he really has someone he likes, he would rather make the emperor angry than say who it is." Isn't it hidden like this...... What is this woman's identity that can't cross the clear road in front of the emperor? ”
She snapped her fingers, "Like, like the ones written in the book...... What kind of criminal minister, disparity in status, or the daughter of a political enemy in the court? ”
"Meow."
Xue Tuan looked at her in disgust, turned his back, jumped onto the table near the window, and glanced out of the window.
"Maybe it's because the love is across the mountains and seas, and he can't cross the gap of identity, and he is worried that the emperor will not agree to that woman, so he wants to use me as a shield."
Speaking of which, Shen Lingxi's brain made up a scene when his brain was neutral, and the emperor "beat the mandarin ducks", forcing Chu Yan to find a "contract bride" big drama-
"Do you think that's going to be the case......
Shen Lingxi took out Chu Yan's usual style, straightened his back, and pretended to take out a deed from his sleeve and throw it out.
Her eyes were cold and ruthless, learning Chu Yan's tone, and said coldly and arrogantly: "The emperor does not allow Gu to marry her, give you a million taels, pretend to marry Gu, after you get married, you are the master to accept her into the door, after the matter is completed, find the right time, Gu will reconcile with you, and this money will be regarded as compensation for you by Gu." ”
"Meow ......" Xue Tuan stood in front of the window and called at her.
But Shen Lingxi was able to play it, and he didn't notice anything unusual about it, and said to himself: "If that's the case, one million taels of silver, it's not a loss to take this job, right......?"
She paused, thought about it again, and said uncertainly: "Perhaps, he doesn't belong to his heart?" ”
"Meow." Snow jumped back to her from the table and rolled around.
"You think that's the most likely, don't you?"
Shen Lingxi thought seriously, "He doesn't have this so-called "happy person" at all. It's just an excuse to prevaricate the emperor. However, he knew that the emperor would not give up, so in order to be able to cope with the emperor's remarriage in the future, he found me......"
She changed Chu Yan's tone again: "One million taels, as soon as the time comes, we will be separated, one parting and two wide, this money should be regarded as compensation for you." ”
"Meow!" The snow ball screamed again at her face.
Shen Lingxi looked at it and asked, "It's not impossible to repay the favor and earn silver...... Right? ”
"Meow."
"Well, when I see him next time, if he brings up the old things again, I will discuss the matter of silver with him."
Shen Lingxi said, and muttered again: "...... It's better to set the silver higher and let him retreat. ”
"It's not offending him."
After all, he still has to find a way to get the little aunt out of his hands.
Shen Lingxi acted such a way to talk to herself in front of the snow group, and she finally felt a lot relieved by replacing the inexplicable thoughts in her heart with money.
I didn't notice a very soft, distant footstep outside the window......
*
Kunning Palace.
In the gilded Suzaku copper furnace, sandalwood burns.
Queen Mu Huirong was wearing a homely azure gown, surrounded by the palace maids and eunuchs, and was sitting in front of the window, embroidering an embroidered screen of phoenixes and peonies.
Next to her, a middle-aged woman wearing pearls and emeralds and dressed gracefully and luxuriously praised with a smile on her face: "Niangniang's stitching is becoming more and more exquisite, look at this stitch is so dense and neat, and the color is also very gorgeous and bright, embroidering this peony like a real flower." And this phoenix...... It's so expressive, as if it's about to fly out of this white brocade. ”
The woman's surname is Zhou, her name is Cuifen, and she is the Duchess of Cheng'en, the step-room of Cheng'en Duke Mu Yushan. looks kind and loves to laugh, no matter who he sees, he is greeted with a smile, and he has never been angry with anyone.
She has a son and a daughter, her son is Mu Huaijie, the second son of the Gongfu, and her daughter is Mu Xue'e, the lord of Bingqing County.
Hearing Mrs. Zhou's praise, the queen smiled faintly.
"My sister-in-law came to the palace early in the morning, and she must not have been specifically looking at the palace to do embroidery work. It's all my own family, so I might as well say it directly. ”
"It's not Xue'e's family affair yet......"
Mrs. Zhou's face was a little confused: "I heard that the emperor has recently chosen relatives for His Royal Highness, and chose the Wang family, the Li family, the Cui family, the Cheng family and the Xu family, but did not choose our Mu family and the Dou family." ”
"Xue'e is the Queen Mother and Niangniang, you grew up with your own eyes, her character and appearance are no worse than others, and she is still a childhood sweetheart with His Royal Highness."
"Niangniang, Xue'e is your niece, you want to think of a way to mention it in front of the emperor, if Xue'e can marry His Royal Highness as a concubine, it will be good to serve in front of you in the future, right?"
The queen tilted her head sideways, her eyes looked intently at the needle and thread in her hand, and the movements in her hands did not pause for half a minute.
"The Queen Mother didn't let the Dou family send the portrait into the palace at all, maybe she didn't want the Dou family to get involved. Since the emperor intends not to choose the girl of the Mu family, he must have his own considerations in his heart. This kind of thing...... Bengong thinks that it is better to go with the flow, and Xue'e and Liulang's temperament may not be suitable. ”
"Mother." With embarrassment on her face, Mrs. Zhou leaned closer and said, "You know, Xue'e's girl has always liked Liulang, if she didn't have this mind, the concubine wouldn't have come to beg you." ”
"Besides, when I was going out today, my mother-in-law also told her concubine that I must get a letter from you and bring it back to her old man's house......"
"This time, because of the matter of Mrs. Wu Anbo, my mother-in-law is very sad and has not been able to lift her spirits, thanks to Xue'e serving in front of her. As soon as she heard about it, she kept it in mind......"
Hearing her mention her own mother, the queen sighed and stopped the needle and thread in her hand.
She raised her eyes, "That kid Liulang has always had an idea, if he doesn't want to, even the emperor can't do anything about him." Instead of thinking about it here in the main palace, it is better to ask Huai'an to take her to Rokuro for a more ......"
