Wishful Things - Chapter 665
Chapter 665 A slap in the face
Amidst the sound of music, the dancers dressed in high buns and draped silk danced in the pose of Chang’e flying to the moon, and Gong’e, who was slender in posture, filed in with the jade saucer of wine cup.
When the monarch and his ministers drink together, the colleagues are pushing cups and changing cups, chatting and laughing constantly.
In the midst of these elegant talks and laughter, Dongyang King’s overbearing laughter is particularly refreshing, even through the screen Xu Mingyi can listen to his grandfather’s movements.
But the old man is sure in his heart that although the wine is good, he is not greedy for a cup.
After the banquet was over, the officials and their families retired.
King Dingnan also left the banquet early, probably because he had a few quarrels with King Dongyang during the banquet, and was so angry that he didn’t eat a few mouthfuls of the food, so he took his grandson back.
Wu Ran walked very reluctantly. He wanted to talk more with Ming Shi.
Xu Mingshi also watched his friends leave. He has long been accustomed to the unique way of getting along with the two old men.
After the banquet, the queen mother was quite interested, and proposed to go to Deyue Tower to enjoy the moon.
Mid-Autumn Festival, watching the moon is an occasion, especially tonight the sky is beautiful and the night is pretty good.
Emperor Zhaozhen was very happy to accompany him, nodded immediately, and grabbed his son and future daughter-in-law to go with him.
Princess Yongjia and Haishi also echoed.
Emperor Zhaozheng looked at King Dongyang again, and asked with a smile: “It’s still early, can the general go to Deyuelou to sit down together?”
The old man waved his hand hurriedly, “The minister will not go to shame.”
Hearing this sentence, Emperor Zhaozhen suddenly laughed twice. He remembered an old thing-when he was a teenager, he was in the camp once, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival of the year, when everyone was sitting around the bonfire. While admiring the moon, King Dingnan chanted poetry and homesick, but the general seriously discussed with his men: Wu Gang can’t do it, he can cut down the laurel tree with a few axes.
King Dingnan sneered when he heard the words, scolding him as the work of a reckless man, and said that the laurel tree is a sacred tree, which can be healed again after being cut with an axe. His words alluded to the general’s big talk.
General came in and claimed that as long as he cuts fast enough, there would be no laurel trees he could not cut down.
What did you say, even without an axe, you can even uproot it!
The two argued each other, so they argued for a long time.
Elder Wu was blushing, and his family’s demeanor disappeared.
General was also very angry, wishing he could rush to the sky immediately and break into the Moon Palace to prove his divine power.
When he was still young, he looked stupid. He glanced at the innocent full moon silently, and couldn’t figure out what was so noisy about such a vague thing…
Later, he realized that there is nothing in this world that these two old men can’t quarrel.
The king of Dongyang took his children and grandchildren out of the palace first, while Cui and Xu Mingyi accompanied the queen mother and her party to reach the moon tower.
There is a tall pavilion in the building with a wide view. Once several large windows are opened, it is full of night stars. It is the most suitable for viewing the moon, so it is named Yuelou.
As early as the inner prison, Gong’e arranged melon and fruit tea, and all kinds of moon cakes and pastries.
The crowd gathered around the Queen Mother to admire the moon and chatted. The noise of the people in the Hall of Baohe was gone, only the breeze and the moon were accompanied.
Emperor Zhaozhen was also very relaxed, with a smile on his face, talking to his mother, and mentioning the old affairs between King Dingnan and King Dongyang, causing the old lady to laugh and almost burst into tears. : “These two friends…”
Xu Mingyi and Xie Wuzheng also laughed.
At this time, the Sea Queen, who had been a little restrained sitting next to the Queen Mother, hesitated and stood up.
Everyone couldn’t help but cast their sights.
In response to everyone’s gaze, Hai’s grasped his sleeves tightly, his eyes dodge a little.
“What’s wrong?” Emperor Zhaozhen said, “If you are tired, let Sang’er accompany you back to rest.”
Actually, according to his wishes, the other party didn’t have to follow him, so he didn’t need to be so uncomfortable.
Unexpectedly, he heard Hai’s say: “Chen concubine…The minister concubine wants to make a payment with Miss Xu.”
As soon as this remark came out, there was silence all around.
Don’t talk about others, even Xu Mingyi himself is very confused: “I don’t know what the empress empress means?”
An elder who is in the position of a queen again, why should she be compensated?
“A few days ago, outside the Shoukang Palace, Sang’er had nothing to say and did, and she had offended Miss Xu…” Hai’s tone was ashamed: “This kid grew up with me and your Majesty in Michigan. He has become accustomed to indulgent temperament and is careless. , In fact, it is not bad-hearted… please don’t take it seriously.”
Xu Mingyi was very surprised when she heard it, she never expected that Haishi would even apologize to her junior for this.
But…does this have anything to do with carelessness?
Seeing Hai’s raising her hand to salute, she also stood up: “The empress empress has made a serious statement, and she has also broken the courtier. And if the empress does not mention it, the courtier has forgotten about it.”
She didn’t know why the other party had to mention this in public, and she put on such a lowly posture.
But she knew that, according to common sense, once the other party spoke these words, if Princess Yongjia suffered a loss with her in the future, it would appear that she was deliberately taking revenge.
This is naturally going deeper, and she doesn’t care how others think.
Perhaps she thinks of the other party too complicatedly, but in any case, since the other party said so, she naturally has to say enough about the scene.
Over there, Princess Yongjia reacted, her face sinking.
Is the queen crazy!
Actually said this in front of the emperor, the emperor, grandmother, and the elder brother!
Dignified queen, so low-pitched to a foreign minister’s daughter… It was really humiliating to send to the door!
And also drag her to be humiliated together!
“Sang’er, what’s going on?” Zhaozhen asked.
Faced with those eyes that didn’t distinguish between emotions and anger, but no smile, Princess Yongjia panicked and said hurriedly: “I was just talking a few jokes with Miss Xu that day!”
said, looking at Haishi: “The queen is too fussy!”
Seeing her daughter’s eyes full of shame and anger, Hai’s hesitating to say something, took Yu Guang and glanced at Xu Mingyi very quickly.
This little action failed to escape Cui’s eyes.
What do you think of her family?
At first glance, this matter is that the mother and daughter did not agree on the same. It is hard to say that Zhao Zhao, who did nothing at all from the beginning to the end, was dragged into the water to help the princess build the steps and round this. The so-called joke is not enough?
Cui did not want her daughter to be aggrieved at all, so she gently pulled the girl’s dress quietly.
The Xu family’s desperate life can only have today, but it is not to accompany this slimy queen empress.
Don’t say anything to be sensible in order to be liked. The premise of being sensible is not to be wronged.
Zhaozhao, this hasn’t been married yet!
Xu Mingyi knew it well.
Whatever jokes but not jokes, whatever they say, she just doesn’t interrupt anyway.
She is not interested in taking the initiative to lie for others.
Seeing that she was silent, Hai’s grabbed her sleeves and scolded her daughter: “Wrong is wrong. Even if it’s a joke, you shouldn’t lose your sense of measure…Hurry up and pay Miss Xu!”
”…” Princess Yongjia’s complexion was red and white, and she stood up suddenly.
There was a fire in her heart, and she wanted to attack, but seeing Emperor Zhaozhen sitting there, she could only suppress it.
The emperor father never scolded her, but she has always had an indescribable fear of the emperor. This fear is rooted in her heart because of her mother’s years of words, and because she always feels that the emperor always seems to be separated. Very far away, there is no sense of closeness between her and her mother.
This made her even though she had more tempers, but she never dared to make a big fuss in front of her father.
She clenched her fingers tightly, her eyes flushed, and she said almost every word: “…that day, I didn’t speak properly, and I didn’t speak properly. Please forgive me, Miss Xu.”
Meeting those “so you are satisfied” eyes, Xu Mingyi was silent.
Very good, it’s probably a complete hatred of her.
Who did she provoke?
could only say: “The princess is serious.”
Looking at Haishi, the queen mother also sighed in her heart.
Others don’t know what her own daughter is, doesn’t she know it herself?
Is there any reason to press your head in such a thing?
So, is this really trying to solve the problem, or is it just a superficial effort, so that others can see how they are sensible and how to teach women to be strict?
At the moment, although this daughter-in-law doesn’t talk much, she has a lot of careful thoughts.
Let’s make it harder to say, there is actually quite a potential to be a **** stick…
She has never underestimated the other party because of her daughter-in-law’s background, but at this moment, she still has to admit that this is short-sighted, and she can’t understand the real pros and cons.
The queen mother had a discernment in her heart, her face was still calm, and she smiled and said, “Okay, since you have all talked about it, please sit down.”
Looking at the people again, his eyes were full of kindness and authenticity: “In the future, we will all be a family. There is nothing to say about it, and the population in our family is simple, there are not so many twists and turns… The Ai family is also getting older. I just love seeing the family and the happy ones.”
In short, if anyone wants to have trouble, it is equivalent to opposing her. There is no sense in doing things, and she will never tolerate it.
Everyone answered “Yes” in unison, remember it all.
The queen mother nodded comfortedly: “Okay, okay.”
is really great.
Her mood for admiring the moon is all gone.
Zhaozhen emperor said in a timely manner: “It’s windy at night, let’s go back after the son is sent to his mother.”
The queen mother nodded, looked at her son deeply, and said: “Ai’s family has Chunbai with them, so you should go back and rest earlier.”
While speaking, looking at Cui Shi and Xu Mingyi, he smiled and said, “Tell A Yuan to send you one off, and come to the palace again to speak.”
What happened today, but made her lose all this old face in front of her in-laws.
Seeing that there was no major trouble, but this kind of indescribable stickiness is the worst. If two ordinary households are changed, it is possible that the marriage will be wronged.
Hai’s careful thoughts, are everyone else stupid?
Xie Wuzhao should come down. He understands the meaning of the emperor’s grandmother, and he will make a clearer statement about tonight with Mrs. Zhaozhao’s son, so as not to give birth to estrangement.
After everyone left one after another, Princess Yongjia also returned with the maid with red eyes.
Soon there were only Emperor Zhaozhen and Haishi left in the pavilion, and the palace guard was also screened out.
Seeing Emperor Zhaozhen sitting still, Haishi was a little nervous, she felt that she might have something to say.
Are you wrong?
Sang’er did something wrong, she should admit it.
When she was about to speak, she heard Emperor Zhaozhen speak in front: “I see that you seem to be very uncomfortable with life in the palace. If you have any plans, just speak to me.”
He has known Hai’s for many years, but he didn’t really get along with him. He didn’t dare to boast about the others, but he still knew one thing-Hai’s was too sensitive, and she could misunderstand a lot of simple words. So he didn’t intend to say more about the matter tonight, only the most important ones.
Hai’s face turned pale.
“The emperor…is going to drive his concubine away? The concubine…Is the concubine not uncomfortable with life in the palace, the concubine is practising etiquette every day and learning Beijing dialect!” She was a little panicked: “Ms. Xu It’s Sang’er’s fault. It is blamed on the concubines for failing to restrain themselves, and the concubines will be determined in the future—”
Emperor Zhao Zhen helplessly raised his hand and interrupted her.
“Whatever you are in the palace, I see it in my eyes. I have no intention of blaming you, and you don’t have to force yourself. The duties of the queen are not in the original agreement between you and me.”
Hai’s eyelashes tremble slightly.
So, she is useless to him now, will the agreement also end?
“Everything I promised you at the beginning is still counted, including Sang’er’s marriage.” Emperor Zhaozhen said: “I have recently identified some suitable candidates for Sang’er. Valuable. Tomorrow I will send someone the portrait, and you can discuss and decide with Sang’er.”
The night wind passed through the window lattice, Hai’s whole body was cold.
After arranging Sang’er’s marriage, she can be arranged, right?
It’s not a matter of a day to find a husband-in-law, so he has already made a decision…
She knew it.
She knew she shouldn’t come to the capital, and she couldn’t let him sit on the throne…
He became the emperor, and everything changed.
It is useless no matter how hard she works.
A gust of cold wind came in, as if passing through her internal organs, cold and painful.
“I just said, you are thinking about it.” Emperor Zhaozhen got up and left, and finally said.
Listening to the fading footsteps, the corners of Hai’s mouth trembled, and he pulled out a somewhat ironic smile.
consider?
Since he has spoken, does she have room to think about it?
Hai sat stiffly in the same place, until the mother came to find him, and then left the Deyue Tower in a daze.
Back to Yukun Palace, but saw Princess Yongjia waiting in the sleeping hall.
Princess Yongjia cried and had a big quarrel with her.
After her daughter left, Hai Clan sat down in a daze, but her ears still seemed to be echoing her daughter’s crying and questioning——
”Why did the mother and the queen differ from me in discussing this for a while, so this is the foolish act tonight! You shameless, but I want it!”
“This is just a trivial matter, but now it’s caused by both the emperor and grandmother. Put me on the fire, and you will be happy, aren’t you!”
”……”
At that time, listening to her daughter’s grievances, thinking about her current situation, she also lost control.
Looking at this girl with the shadow of her biological father faintly between her eyebrows, she even gave birth to hatred for the first time.
She slapped Saner.
And the start is very heavy, there is even a little numbness in the palm of the hand at this time.
After a slap fell, she stared at the girl, and asked in hatred—
“Why did I do this? I don’t want you to make enemies with the future prince concubine! Do you know how much I have done for you over the years, and how much trouble I have taken care of for you! If you are more relaxed and sensible, please your father likes it? Some, why should I be so worried for you!”
These words, this slap in the face, also made the girl completely erupt.
Good night everyone.
