Chapter Seventy-Three
Such a sentence made Mo Shuoyue stunned for a moment, and she was a little speechless for a while, so she could only say: "The woman who can make the prince fall in love must have her superiority." ”
"Not bad." Li Bin's gentle expression flashed with a hint of cunning, "Because among the unmarried women in the audience, she is the only one surnamed Wang." ”
Mo Shuoyue was slightly puzzled.
Li Yunmin whispered, "Our queen, how can she let the daughter of her old enemy enter the Duanping Mansion again?" ”
Mo Shuoyue suddenly understood, it turned out that even if she didn't recommend herself, this marriage would not be possible.
Thinking about it like this, Mo Shuoyue understood, Queen Xiao, who had always been moody, showed her resentment in front of her for a long time, it turned out that the drunkard's intention was not to drink, not because he couldn't bear it, or because he trusted her, but deliberately acted for others to see.
However, Queen Xiao pushed the boat down the river, allowing her to escape the embarrassment of the Li family through this incident. Since she has inherited the love of others, she has the reputation of beating mandarin ducks with a stick on her back, which is obviously much easier for her than dealing with the Li family by herself.
While speaking, several people had already arrived at the Xuan Hall. The flower window is open, reflecting the osmanthus in the courtyard. In the first night, wisps of sweet fragrance are sent.
Li Bin led her and Li Yunmin to sit down in front of the flower window, a small red clay stove, and slender pine branches.
Li Yunmin naturally sat beside her and tacitly helped her add pine branches.
Mo Shuoyue seemed to be very accustomed to this situation, and did not feel inappropriate, while grinding the tea, she put forward the unspoken speculation just now: "Duanping Wang Ye deliberately chose the queen of the Wang family, Miaoruo, but because he guessed, the queen will not allow it this time?" ”
"Xiao Mo is really smart, just a little bit through. It's just that," Li Bin put away his ridiculous eyes, paused, and sighed again, his expression seemed to be reminiscing, "I didn't expect that Wang Miaoruo and Su Rong would look so similar." ”
Wang Surong, the daughter of the royal family, the deceased Princess Duanping. Mo Shuoyue hadn't seen it, so she had to turn her inquiring gaze to Li Yunmin.
"Today in the side hall, although it is separated by a screen, it looks like the late imperial sister-in-law Wang Surong, who is five or six points similar."
For his unforgettable memory, Mo Shuoyue has no doubt about him. just said lightly: "No wonder, at today's luncheon, I always feel that the figure behind the door is very similar to the prince." I thought I was wrong. ”
Mo Shuoyue paused for a while, and suddenly noticed that something was wrong with their words, and said, "No, didn't the prince just say that you came from hearing the news?" ”
Li Yunmin listened and explained very consciously, "Brother Huang said this also to avoid suspicion, after all, the palace is full of famous ladies, if it is known by others, it will inevitably attract unnecessary suspicion." There happened to be government affairs today, and he needed to enter the palace to face the saint, so he was pulled by the royal brother to be a companion. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have agreed. ”
"Fortunately, you are here, there is a third person present, and what is said is more objective." Mo Shuoyue nodded, and said: "I just think that if there are only five or six points of similarity, it should not be misunderstood, why is Duanping Wangye-"
Li Yunmin looked forward to it, and felt a little surprised, it turned out that Mo Shuoyue didn't speak like that because of the taste, but because her mind was currently on his eldest brother's choice of concubine, and such a focus made him feel a little jealous.
Looking at Li Bin, who was anxiously explaining, his eyes drooped, he tried his best to hold back a smile, and took the tea that had just been half-cooled, and took a small sip of it.
Then he spoke slowly: "Speaking of this, I also feel wonderful, in fact, on the way back home, I also thought about it for a long time." After all, Wang Miaoruo is just a young woman in the house, and regardless of her appearance and bearing, she is still much worse than her submissive appearance. Su Rong is the eldest daughter of the Wang family, she has been pampered since she was a child, has a good life, and is a very proud and flamboyant woman. Before he reached the end of his life, he made a lot of nonsense, saying that he would not marry the prince in this life, and he would definitely be a mother in the future. Who knows-by mistake, he actually married me, who has no chance of being on the throne in this life. ”
Li Bin laughed at himself, his expression was not hurt, but there was a faint regret.
A woman dares to speak out about her mother's honor in the world, not that she is bold, but that she should be bold.
But if the daughter of the Wang family said such a thing, Mo Shuoyue felt that it seemed more reasonable.
Since the founding of this dynasty, in addition to the royal Li family, looking at the entire imperial capital, only the Wang, Xiao, and Su families are the most noble.
One is because the ancestor King Qin has merit, and the other is that it is also an important point, no matter how the court situation changes, the descendants of these three families are the mainstay in the court, and those who enter the middle palace have always been the concubines of these three families. In fact, it is said that the three families are competing fairly, but in fact, those who enter the middle palace are all daughters of the Wang family.
Although Empress Xiao is reluctant to admit it, in all dynasties, the daughter of the Wang family has always defeated all famous Shuyuan, became the crown princess of the East Palace, and finally sat firmly in the Middle Palace.
It's just that when the emperor was alive, the situation was slightly different. When Concubine Wang Xian was still the crown princess, she didn't come out for many years, and finally gave birth to a child, but she was just a female doll. The first emperor was the most fierce among the previous emperors of this dynasty.
directly demoted the crown princess to a side concubine for the crime of unfilial piety. And at that time, Queen Xiao, who was a widow, gave birth to a male baby because of Mr. Zao, that is, Li Bin. Although she was born with a hidden disease, in the end, it was the first child of the crown prince and she successfully became the crown princess.
In fact, when it comes to back then, Queen Xiao's talent and appearance are famous all over the world, and she is the best candidate for the crown princess, but because she is not a daughter surnamed Wang, she can only be subservient to Concubine Wang Xian.
Perhaps because of this reason, Concubine Wang Xian has been unwilling for many years, and it is difficult to let go of old things, and she has constantly provoked Queen Xiao. And Empress Xiao saw that she did not pose a threat, and always disdained to fight with her. Among them, of course, there is another reason that cannot be ignored, that is, the Xiao family is still a little jealous of the Wang family.
Mo Shuoyue listened to Li Bin's narration of the late Wang Surong, although she was saying that she was bold and willful, but for some reason, faintly, she felt that there was no derogatory meaning in her words, and there was a bit of admiration and admiration mixed in it.
"Listening to the prince say this, it seems that you have a little envy for a woman with a flying temperament like the first princess, and I still like it a little bit." Mo Shuoyue smiled lightly.
The teacup in Li Bin's hand paused, raised his eyes to look at her, and after a long time, the corners of his lips returned to a little smile.
"Speaking of envy, there may still be. After all, since I was born, I have been destined for a glorious life, but I will never have freedom anymore. Su Rong is the most sassy and resolute woman I have met over the years, and she is also the most consistent woman, daring to say and do, the natural self-confidence and pride that inadvertently exudes, which is indeed difficult for a person like me to do in my life. ”
