Chapter 291: Out of Sight, Out of Mind
When Tang Shuyi arrived at the gate of the queen's palace, she saw the aunt in charge beside the queen waiting for her with a smile on her face.
"The Duchess of Dingguo is well." The aunt in charge saluted Tang Shuyi.
Tang Shuyi smiled and said, "Auntie, excuse me." ”
The aunt in charge got up and led Tang Shuyi into the main hall of the queen's bedroom. The queen was sitting in the center, Tang Shuyi saluted her, the queen came over to help her up, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen Madame for a long time." "
Tang Shuyi stepped aside and sat down, and said, "There are many things at home. ”
The queen waved her hand and asked the palace maid to serve her tea, and then said: "The palace is fine all day in the palace, and the lady can often come to talk to the palace when she is free." ”
Tang Shuyi bowed, "Yes." ”
The two exchanged a few words of greeting, and the queen asked, "What is the matter with Madame today?" ”
Tang Shuyi let out a long sigh, "I didn't want to disturb Niangniang, but the matter is really infuriating, so I have to come to you and talk to you." "
Although the queen doesn't know Tang Shuyi very well, she knows from the things she does that this is not a purposeless person. Since I found her here, it must not be a trivial matter. Her interests are different from those of the emperor, she doesn't mind whether Xiao Huai is a master of high merit, she doesn't mind who Xiao Huai is on in the competition for the princes, and whether she can win Xiao Huai's support for the three princes.
After all, the three princes are now raised under her name, and they are a community of interests.
So when she heard Tang Shuyi's words, she sat up straight and said seriously, "Madam, say it." ”
Tang Shuyi told what happened in Huguang Pavilion just now, and then said: "Queen Mother, tell me, is Prince Su's Mansion too deceitful. Marriage matters, we must pay attention to the right family, pay attention to the identity of the equal, a concubine born to more than a dozen concubines, pestered my family Yuchen several times..."
Tang Shuyi's face was indescribable, and the queen's face was not good-looking. She is the queen, and she also has to take care of some things of the royal family. Now, there is such an ugly thing in the clan, and her face is a little unbearable.
I heard Tang Shuyi say again: "Today she even moved out of the emperor, saying that the emperor wanted to give her and my family Yuchen a decree to marry." Queen, you say this is not ridiculous? What a wise person the emperor is, would marry her as a concubine and be the wife of our government? ”
Queen: "........."
The emperor can really do this, so she doesn't dare to say anything rashly even if she wants to win over the Duke of Dingguo. After thinking about it, the queen said: "This matter is really tricky, so let's ask Prince Su and the princess to come over with Huixin, if you have anything to say, we will talk about it in person." ”
"Empress Xie." Tang Shuyi said.
The queen waved her hand, and then ordered someone to go to Prince Su's mansion to invite someone. Prince Su and Princess Su are long gone, and now the lady in charge of Prince Su's mansion is the princess of Prince Su, so the queen asked people to invite her.
The aunt in charge went out, and when she arrived outside the palace, she said to a little eunuch: "Go to the imperial study and tell the emperor that the Duchess of Dingguo is here, because of the matter of the county lord of Huixin." ”
The little eunuch was instructed, and hurriedly went to the imperial study, and the aunt in charge went to Prince Su's mansion to ask for someone.
On the side of the imperial study, Xiao Huai took Xiao Yuchen to sit on the chair opposite the emperor, Xiao Yuchen said with a sad face that he was entangled by Li Huixin several times, and then said: "Your Majesty, the courtiers really can't stand her being so entangled." ”
The emperor listened to his words and hummed, and then said nothing. It's not that he doesn't speak, but he is thinking about how to push the boat down the river to marry Li Huixin and Xiao Yuchen.
But before he could think of what to say, he heard Xiao Huai say: "Such a shameless and crazy woman, I would not dare to marry the Dingguo Mansion, and I don't think the emperor will give my son such a marriage." ”
Emperor: "......"
At this time, Xiao Yuchen said: "Father, my son has already said that even if he becomes a monk, he will not marry her." ”
"Nonsense!" Xiao Huai looked at Xiao Yuchen and scolded, "You are the son of our Dingguo Mansion, how can you say that you are a monk?" Don't say I don't allow it, and the emperor won't allow it. Don't mess around like this in the future. ”
Emperor: "........"
What can he say? What he wanted to say was blocked by the father and son. Silently swallowing the breath that was blocked in his throat, he said, "Yesterday, Prince Su did mention the matter of marriage to me, but I didn't know that Huixin was doing things like this... Reckless. ”
Xiao Huai sneered in his heart, this is not to dispel the idea of marriage!
At this time, Jiao Kangsheng came over and said in the emperor's ear: "The Duchess of Dingguo is now in the queen's palace, and the queen wants to ask the emperor what you mean." ”
The emperor's brows furrowed into a pimple, and Jiao Kangsheng said again: "The queen asked her to go to Prince Su's mansion and invite Prince Su to concubine." ”
The emperor snorted, "Let someone invite Prince Su to come, go and tell the queen, come to the imperial study for a while, and everyone will talk about something in person." ”
"Yes." Jiao Kangsheng answered and left.
The emperor looked at Xiao Huai and said in a bad tone: "The queen said that your wife also came to the palace." ”
Xiao Huai snorted, "Mrs. Chen heard that the county lord of Huixin said that the emperor is going to give Yuchen a marriage, and in a panic, I have to go and talk to the queen, and the minister can't stop it." ”
The emperor sneered in his heart, and said: "Xiao Aiqing's prestige in your mansion still has to be established." ”
This is to say that he is afraid of guilt, Xiao Huai picked up the cup and took a sip of tea and said: "The minister's wife is diligent and thrifty, and her husband and children are exemplary, and the minister is very respectful." ”
Emperor: "........"
said that you were afraid of you, but you showed it, and there was no way to talk about it this day. The emperor waved his hand and said, "Prince Su, it is estimated that it will take a while for them to come, Aiqing will go to the side hall to rest for a while." ”
Out of sight, out of mind.
Xiao Huai and Xiao Yuchen listened to his words, got up and saluted, and then followed Jiao Kangsheng to the side hall. After sitting down, Xiao Yuchen turned his head to look at Xiao Huai, his current father has really changed a lot compared to before.
For example, he and his mother used to be glued together every day in the house, but they were still very restrained when they went out. Just like the words that praised his mother just now, he basically didn't say it outside, but now he will open his mouth.
Xiao Huai received his gaze and asked, "Why do you look at me like this?" ”
Xiao Yuchen was entangled for a moment, and finally curiosity prevailed. He approached Xiao Huai and asked in a low voice, "Father, what did you do wrong?" Mother won't let you go back to live in Shi'an Garden until now. ”
Xiao Huai: "........"
Why don't you let me go back to live in Se'an Garden, can't it be that I don't want to go back to Se'an Garden?
