Chapter 45: The mourners disagree
Everyone bowed to the Empress Dowager Zhao and said in unison: "Follow the will of the Empress Dowager." ”
After eating, Empress Dowager Zhao asked everyone to wander around the imperial garden, so that it was easy to digest and digest.
Empress Dowager Zhao was also tired from sitting, so she went back to the side room to clean up a little, but as soon as Empress Dowager Zhao walked in, she noticed that someone was following her behind her, Empress Dowager Zhao turned around, looked at the door, and said in a deep voice: "Who is outside the door?" Come out to the mourning family, don't pretend to be a ghost in front of the mourning family. ”
"Who is it!? Come out of here! ”
Gonggong Sui, who was next to Empress Dowager Zhao, said with a sharp voice.
……
There was no movement......
Father-in-law Sui looked at the Empress Dowager Zhao and said, "Empress Dowager, could it be that you heard it wrong?" ”
Empress Dowager Zhao stared at the door for a moment and said, "You won't hear it wrong, you go and take a look." ”
"Yes."
Father-in-law Sui answered, and was about to step forward to take a look, but at this time, a shadow fell, and only a cold voice sounded: "It's me." ”
Father-in-law Sui was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Jin An." ”
That's right, the person who came was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Lu Heng, who was standing at the door at the moment, with a long figure and a gentlemanly demeanor.
"It turned out to be Bo Ying, why did you come to see the mourning family secretly? This is not the style of your Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Empress Dowager Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Why didn't you accompany Zhiwei, but came to see me, an old woman?" ”
Lu Heng didn't answer Empress Dowager Zhao's words, but looked at the father-in-law next to her and ordered: "You go out first, the palace and the imperial grandmother still have something to say." ”
"Yes, the minion will go."
Father-in-law Sui answered, left the side room, and helped close the door before leaving.
Empress Dowager Zhao found a comfortable chair to sit on, raised her eyelids to look at Lu Heng, and asked casually, "Is there anything I need to tell the mourning family alone?" ”
Lu Heng: "The imperial grandmother is so powerful, she actually figured out her grandson's thoughts." ”
Empress Dowager Zhao smiled and said, "Isn't this hard to guess?" Didn't you just want to say something to the mourning family alone? The mourning family has lived so old, it is impossible not to even see this trick, so what kind of queen mother should the mourning family be? ”
"Just say anything, the mourners want to see what you want."
Lu Heng pursed his lips and smiled: "The imperial grandmother is really wise, the grandson really can't hide anything from the imperial grandmother, and the grandson does have something he wants to ask the imperial grandmother to agree." ”
After a pause, Lu Heng glanced at Empress Dowager Zhao's eyes, and saw that her face was flat, so he said word by word: "Sun Er begs the imperial grandmother to remove the identity of Crown Princess Zhiwei." ”
"What did you say?"
Empress Dowager Zhao's pupils shrank suddenly, she didn't expect him to make such a request.
Looking at her reflection, Lu Heng understood that it was difficult for this request to be granted, so he hurriedly knelt down and repeated what he had just said: "Grandson begged the imperial grandmother to remove the identity of Zhiwei Crown Princess, back then, Grandchild was seriously injured, Zhiwei took good care of me, in order to protect her reputation, the imperial grandmother gave her the identity of the crown princess, so as not to be gossiped, but now that her eyes are healing, Grandchild has no feelings for Zhiwei, I only treat her as a sister, and I have no other meaning, I can't live up to Zhiwei's feelings, Therefore, please also ask the imperial grandmother to be able to fulfill it. ”
Empress Dowager Zhao looked at him and said, "You said that you treat her as a sister, then have you ever thought about Zhiwei's feelings for you, she is devoted to you, she has a deep affection for you, and even risked her reputation to go to your prince's mansion to take care of you, have you really considered Zhiwei's feelings?" ”
"Can't you forget that wild girl? What's so good about that wild girl, in terms of identity, status, and appearance, where can she compare to Zhiwei? Do you really want to give up Zhiwei for her? ”
Lu Heng raised his head, his eyes firm: "Imperial grandmother, she is not a wild girl, she is my sweetheart." ”
"Lu Heng!"
Empress Dowager Zhao shouted angrily: "Are you crazy? Do you think the mourners don't know how your eyes hurt? If it weren't for her, how would your eyes be like this? Back then, if the mourning family hadn't seen that you had a deep affection for her and were reluctant to kill her, the mourning family would have ordered her to be executed, how could they still save her a dog's life? ”
"Imperial grandmother, this is just a misunderstanding, she can't be blamed for this......"
"Okay, don't mention this matter again, in short, the mourning family will never agree to you about this." Empress Dowager Zhao interrupted him coldly and said: "Zhiwei's kindness to you, the mourning family sees it in her eyes, and her father also saved you, this kindness, Bo Ying, you have to repay it, but the mourning family really can't figure it out, how much charm does that wild girl have to make you like this?" Could it be that Zhiwei is not good to you? Who else in the world can do this? You don't cherish it at all? ”
Lu Heng was silent, for a long time, he stood up, stared at the Empress Dowager Zhao, and said in a cold voice: "Imperial grandmother, I have already said that I just regard Zhiwei as my sister, whether she is the crown princess or not, and whether she is good to me or not, I, Lu Heng, will definitely take good care of her, but in this matter, I must cancel her status as the crown princess, because I can't live up to her heart for me." ”
After a pause, he said, "If the imperial grandmother does not agree, my prince will not be the right one." ”
"You!"
Empress Dowager Zhao was furious, but she didn't know what to say.
"The imperial grandmother thinks about it, and the grandson will retire first."
After saying this, Lu Heng saluted and left.
Looking at his resolute back, Empress Dowager Zhao was angry for a long time and did not come to her senses: "You kid, as soon as the mourning family came back, you fought against the mourning family, and the mourning family really hurt you in vain." ”
Lu Heng didn't look back and said: "Grandmother Huang, think about it, it's good for Zhiwei and for me." ”
When Father-in-law Sui outside the door saw Lu Heng come out, he couldn't help asking, "Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come out so quickly?" Don't stay a little longer? ”
Lu Heng ignored him and left directly.
Father-in-law Sui laughed twice, and then entered the house, saw that the Queen Mother's face was not good, and stepped forward to ask: "Queen Mother, what's wrong with you?" The face is so bad. ”
"It's not Lu Heng's childish mourner." Empress Dowager Zhao sighed helplessly and waved her hand: "Forget it, take the mourning family out for a walk, breathe." ”
"Yes."
Father-in-law Sui stretched out his hand and let Empress Dowager Zhao put it on his arm.
……
At the moment, inside the Imperial Garden.
Seeing Lu Heng coming out, Mingxu hurriedly chased after him and asked, "Your Highness, how is it?" ”
Lu Heng said: "It's not good, the imperial grandmother doesn't agree. ”
"Huh? So what to do? Mingxu asked.
"Let's see when the time comes, anyway, the palace must cancel her status as the crown princess."
Mingxu lowered his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and after a while, he spoke: "Actually, it is normal for the Queen Mother to disagree, after all, the Crown Princess has grown up with the Queen Mother, and the natural friendship is a little heavier, if you really agree easily, it is not logical." ”
"Besides, the crown princess is also very good to His Royal Highness, but His Royal Highness doesn't like it."
Lu Heng paused and looked back at him: "So, you also think that this palace is wrong?" ”
Mingxu hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "That...... That's no, the subordinates just think that Miss Zhiwei is good to His Highness, and there has been no transgression over the years, His Highness should also admit this, and his subordinates also know that since His Highness doesn't like it, it really needs to be broken, otherwise it will not be good for her, and the long pain is better than the short pain, and the subordinates also understand this. ”
Lu Heng looked at him, as if he remembered something, he said, "By the way, how did the imperial grandmother know that the eyes of this palace were injured by Fei Wan?" This palace remembers that it had already asked you to block the news three years ago, how could it still fall into the ears of the imperial grandmother? ”
"The subordinates have indeed blocked the news, except for the descendants of the Prince's Mansion, there is also the Crown Princess, few people should know." Mingxu said: "Maybe the crown princess accidentally said something wrong, after all, the crown princess grew up next to the queen mother, and if your eye is injured, the queen mother will definitely ask her for details." ”
Exhaling a breath, Lu Heng said, "That's it, it's useless to dwell on these now." ”
"By the way, isn't it a late man?"
Lu Heng asked suddenly.
Mingxu said: "Presumably where His Royal Highness Hezhong is strolling, right?" When I first came, I saw her talking and laughing with His Royal Highness. ”
"Really? The palace is going to see how much there is talking and laughing. ”
With that, Lu Heng went straight away.
Mingxu followed him.
And at this moment, Fei Wan walked onto a bridge, and there were many people on the bridge, but they were all children of the family, they were both in pairs, and they didn't know what they were talking about, and from time to time they laughed like silver bells.
The water under the bridge is clear and translucent, and you can see the fish swimming in the water when you stand on the bridge, and there are some aquatic plants.
It may be that the fish realized that someone was watching them, and they started to scramble to get up, as if they were fighting each other, and it hit it again, and it was not funny.
Even Fei Wan couldn't help but laugh.
But it was this voice that attracted people, and Ling Zhiwei's voice sounded behind Fei Wan: "Girl, what are you looking at?" ”
Hearing this, Fei Wan put away his smile and turned to salute her: "Crown Princess." ”
Ling Zhiwei helped her up: "There is no need to be polite, I am not a person who likes to be polite, and besides, the girl is also a person from His Royal Highness the King, how dare I let the girl salute?" ”
Fei Wan smiled at her, and pretended to be a little more like, she said: "I'm actually not a person from His Royal Highness Chongwang, but His Royal Highness Chongwang didn't want to attend this family banquet alone, so he called me to accompany him to relieve his boredom, so it's not boring." ”
"What do you call a girl?"
Ling Zhiwei asked softly, with a smile on her face.
The corners of Feiwan's mouth stiffened, the name 'Wanwan' definitely can't be used in front of her, it seems that she can only change it.
Thinking so, she hooked her lips and smiled, and said, "Just call me ginger fish." ”
"Jiang Yu ......" Ling Zhiwei really believed it and said, "It's really a good name." ”
Fei Wan replied with a smile: "It's okay, it's just a pronoun, what's the difference between good and bad." ”
"What was Miss Jiang looking at?"
"Boring, look at the fish in the water, those two fish are scrambling to be the first, they have to fight for the first place, it's really funny, so I laughed out loud."
"I see." Ling Zhiwei nodded, as if she remembered something, she asked, "Speaking of which, Miss Jiang, why haven't you seen His Royal Highness the King?" Leaving Miss Jiang here alone, His Royal Highness is too unkind, right? ”
Fei Wan's eyes dimmed slightly, and he replied: "His Royal Highness was called away by Emperor Rong's people, and as an outsider, I can't participate in it, so I have to walk around here alone." ”
Ling Zhiwei stood next to Fei Wan, looked at the clear water under the bridge, and said lightly: "Imperial Concubine Rong hates His Royal Highness Chongwang the most when he spends the moon outside, presumably His Royal Highness Chongwang is going to be told by Imperial Concubine Rong again, just at the banquet, if it weren't for Imperial Concubine Rong's help, I'm afraid His Royal Highness Chongwang's face will be lost in front of everyone again." ”
Fei Wan just smiled and was silent.
Ling Zhiwei suddenly remembered Lu Heng's performance at the banquet, and asked coldly, "How did Miss Jiang and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meet?" ”
