95. Chapter 95
It is cold in the twelfth lunar month, and it is rare to clear today. The sky is as blue as an upside down sapphire, making the palace below look more and more magnificent.
This is the first time Xie Lanyin has entered the palace.
Thinking that this was the palace, where the most noble emperor's family lived in the world, every day my father had to get up early and wait outside the palace wall to wait for the morning court. The little girl Xie Lanyin couldn't help but feel awe. However, when she thought, this was Xiao Yuan's home, which was extremely cold for Xiao Yuan, and Xie Lanyin was immediately disgusted.
What the emperor and queen are just a cold-blooded and ruthless father, a stepmother who treats her original son harshly, and there is nothing to be respected.
It was not worth it for Xiao Yuan, but Xie Lanyin calmed down instead and followed the palace maid who was leading the way in Fengyi Palace without looking sideways.
Xie Lanwei looked at her sideways, and when she saw her cousin's face turned pale, she guessed that she was in a bad mood, so she raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
Although he married a prince, he was a concubine and had no chance to be happy with this majestic palace.
When he looked at Xie Lanqiao, he looked at Xie Lanqiao's side face, which seemed to be calm and gentle all the time, Xie Lanwei curled her smile again.
I walked for a long time before I arrived in front of Fengyi Palace.
Xie Lanwei had already met the queen. When the palace maid came in and told her, she smiled and said to her two cousins: "The Queen is very kind. You don't have to be restrained when you meet you later. You can answer whatever the Empress asks."
"Thank you for your advice from my third sister." Xie Lanqiao said politely. Yu Guangli saw that his sister looked sad, and she felt a little aggrieved and nervous. She understood that her sister had already started acting. Xie Lanqiao felt funny, but cooperated to pat her sister's shoulder and comforted her in a low voice.
Xie Lanyin nodded absent-mindedly, looking inside with nervous eyes.
In the Fengyi Palace Warm Pavilion, Queen Shen looked at the peony flowers that had just been trimmed, turned around and put the scissors on the tray, and ordered the little palace maid, "Please come in."
The Xie family is capable of being able to let her meet three girls in the Xie family at once.
Sitting on the couch, Queen Shen lowered her head to enjoy the Koldan on her armor. She only raised her eyes lazily when she heard the sound of footsteps.
Three girls came in, the woman dressed up as a cousin whom she had seen before, and two were left...
Queen Shen's eyes were fixed on Xie Lanyin's face.
How long has it been since I felt amazing about a woman's appearance? The last time, it seemed like it was when I went to the palace to pay homage to the former queen more than 20 years ago? The two sisters of the Yan family were so beautiful that they were the capital. She had been envious and jealous. In the end, one of the Yan family died of "illness" and the other died tragically during the exile, and their lives were not as good as hers.
But today, the fifth girl of the Xie family, who amazed her, actually wanted to marry the son of Da Yan.
Queen Shen frowned unconsciously.
The hero is sad to pass the beauty. Xie Lanyin is so beautiful. No wonder Xiao Yuan would rather offend Guo. The Xie family also wanted to steal people. Guo Cheng even went to Qin's palace to make trouble. Now that Xiao Yuan has a beauty, or a beautiful woman with a capable father and brother, he will not favor him in every way? Xie Lanyin is dissatisfied at this time. Will she not be moved when facing Xiao Yuan's deliberate gentleness after marriage?
Xiao Yuan's appearance is very good.
A couple will be kind to one hundred days a day, and sleep a few more nights, and the couple will be harmonious. At that time, Xie Lanyin will go to her parents' home a few more trips. Xie Hui will be so pampering women, so he will stand on the side of the King of Qin sooner or later.
Empress Shen was dissatisfied with this marriage at the beginning and complained to Emperor Xuande once, but Emperor Xuande insisted on his own opinion on the grounds that Xie Hui did not dare. Empress Shen was not good at talking about it. She was accompanied by the king. In the eyes of the emperor, she was just jealous of the former queen. If she was worried about the government, she would definitely not be happy with Emperor Xuande's stubborn and conceited nature.
So if you want to avoid Xie Hui from turning to Xiao Yuan, you will only have the method proposed by his nephew Chen Yingshi.
His eyes moved to Xie Lanqiao. Although his face was inferior to his sister, he was also a beautiful girl. Queen Chen smiled meaningfully, or she said that men are good. She is so cold. Isn’t my nephew so moved by beauty? I want to help her, this aunt, and she still likes Xie Lanqiao more, right?
Seeing the three of them finishing their salutes, Queen Chen smiled and called them up, called Xie Lanqiao to the front, and praised him with praise: "Yesterday someone praised you for being beautiful, intelligent, and very good-looking. I thought he was boasting. When I saw you today, it really made people shine."
A narrow tone.
Xie Lanqiao could not imagine that Chen Yingshi would say such things. He knew it was a joke and lowered his head as if he pretended to be shy.
Xie Lanwei stepped forward and stood on the side of Queen Chen and smiled, "Empress Dowager. My second sister has been smart since childhood. When we embroidered her in the house, the second sister liked to go to the eldest aunt's shop to watch the shopkeeper do business. When she was ten years old, she pestered her aunt to open a rouge shop for her. Later, the business was getting better and better, and she made money than many shopkeepers. This year, the second sister even followed Uncle Jiang's family to Xi'an, saying that she wanted to go out for business with her cousins and travel all over the country."
Her face looked good, but her eyes quietly observed Queen Chen.
Ordinary officials’ wives don’t like such daughters-in-law, so how could the Empress be happy to inherit the title of Shen’s nephew, who has inherited the title of Shen’s family, marry a ridiculed wife like Xie Lanqiao as the head wife?
Queen Chen looked at Xie Lanqiao with an embarrassed face and followed Xie Lanwei's words and smiled: "When I was a child, I heard about Mulan's story of joining the army. I always admired her ability to be not inferior to men. I didn't expect that today I also met someone. Lanqiao told me what did you do in time and make you willing to abandon your plan to travel for him?"
She spoke very intimately, without any displeasure, but like a loving aunt, curious about the little secrets of her nephew.
Xie Lanwei stared at Queen Chen in surprise, as if she wanted to tell whether she really didn't mind or was simply polite.
Xie Lanqiao was completely relieved at this time, and Queen Chen was indeed willing to get together for her and Chen Yingshi's marriage.
If Empress Chen and the Crown Prince are stabilized, the family will be free of worries.
Xie Lanqiao made up the story between her and Chen Yingshi a little shyly.
Queen Chen listened with a smile, and Yu Guang glanced at Xie Lanyin, who was standing alone behind him from time to time. Seeing the little girl's face was pale, holding the handkerchief in her hand, lowering her head, occasionally looking at her sister secretly, with envious eyes and self-pity. Obviously, she felt that she was wronged to be a concubine for Xiao Yuan, so Queen Chen chose the right time and said to her: "Lanyin is here too, we are almost a family. I haven't talked to you well yet."
Xie Lanyin raised her head flatteredly, and her clear Taohua eyes were shocked, as if she didn't understand why the queen was willing to talk to her.
Queen Chen smiled even more kindly. When Xie Lanyin walked to her side, she held the girl's hand and sighed softly: "Look at your handsome appearance, let me see it soon. I will definitely make a reservation before the Guo family goes to propose marriage and keep it for my son... Cough cough, but don't be sad. Although the King of Qin is a bit domineering and looks quite good. If you have seen him, live with him after marriage, and spread his branches and leaves for him as soon as possible, so don't make trouble for the past."
When she mentioned the Guo family, Xie Lanyin's eyes turned into tears. When she heard the words "The bean-sized tear bumps fell down, she knelt down in a hurry, lowered her head and covered her up, "Lanyin followed the teachings of the Empress."
Queen Chen signaled Xie Lanqiao to help her sister up, sighed almost indescribablely, and let them go down.
I never said a word to Xie Lanwei from beginning to end.
Everyone is smart, and everyone knows that Queen Chen is annoyed Xie Lanwei.
When Xie Lanwei entered the palace, she was full of calculating and thought she could get off the faces of her two cousins, but the two girls saw her being neglected by the queen. Her little face was so uglied on the way out of the palace. When she arrived at the palace gate, she quickly got into the Shen family's carriage and left alone.
Xie Lanqiao's lips curled slightly, and he helped his sister get onto his own carriage.
"Sister, I'm sorry for you." Xie Lanyin held his sister's hand and whispered. Her sister didn't like to deal with her wives, but now she wants to give in to the most annoying Queen Chen for her.
"You should be happy. Let's coax her. Wouldn't you also exasperate yourself for your family?" Xie Lanqiao said relaxedly by his sister's little nose.
"Sister vents his anger for him. I'll let him repay you well when he turns around." My sister smiled cheerfully, and Xie Lanyin stopped saying those words that were strangers.
Xie Lanqiao snorted, hugged his sister and said, "He always treats you sincerely, and it is the best reward for him."
My sister was thinking about her, and Xie Lanyin leaned into her arms dependently.
The more I remembered my sister’s kindness to her, the more I became annoyed the trouble Xiao Yuan brought to her.
At night, Xiao Yuan came over and asked her about the palace. Xie Lanyin whispered to emphasize the grievances his sister suffered for him.
It was cold in winter nights, and water dripped into ice. The little girl wrapped in a thick cloak. Her snow-white fur covered her face and showed it to him, so she didn't let him in. Xiao Yuan had no choice but to think of how to thank Xie Lanqiao.
Giving gold, silver and wealth is an insult. If the Shen family is not moved after the matter is completed?
That was the Shen family’s decent profit, and it had nothing to do with Xie Lanqiao!
As for Chen Yingshi... for his aunt's sake, he could not touch him.
"Lanyin, do your second sister have any thank you gifts you want?" Xiao Yuan leaned against the windowsill and hugged her shoulders and said, "They are sisters, so you should know."
Xie Lanyin hummed and muttered in a low voice.
Xiao Yuan smiled and pressed against her forehead and said, "This is not counting. We will be husband and wife soon. It is natural for me to treat you well, not to thank anyone. So, you will tell her for me tomorrow, and I will owe her this thank you first. If she wants anything in the future, I will do my best to repay her."
He was sweet-mouthed, and Xie Lanyin finally looked at him, and a cold wind blew. She felt a little distressed and advised: "Okay, I know everything. Go back quickly, don't freeze, don't come again in the future."
Xiao Yuan nodded obediently, but his hands were not honest. He pulled off the hood above her head, pressed her head and kissed her hard, making her whole body warm. The little girl's arms became weak when she closed the window. Then he smiled at the window and left reluctantly.
New Year's Eve is coming soon, with the firecrackers being noisy, and it is another new year.
During the first month of the year, we visited relatives and friends. The capital was full of joy. After the lively atmosphere, with the end of the Shangyuan Festival, all officials began to attend court, and the people returned to their usual life, opening shops and working.
February finally came under someone's ardent hope.
Xie Lanyin is getting married.
