"What are you talking about? Can you talk nonsense like this? Not only will it ruin the reputation of your daughter's family, it will also affect your husband's family. Besides, how can you be so ignorant of etiquette on such an occasion today? Why don't you tell me quickly?"
The Emperor and the Queen Mother apologize." Concubine Yun interrupted Shui Lianyue sternly and pulled her forward with a few steps.
"Why don't you kneel down and apologize to the Emperor and Queen Mother?" Concubine Yun saw that Shui Lianyue was still standing and had no intention of kneeling down. She couldn't help but twist her fingers on her arm and shouted again.
"Hey, I see that Miss Shui family seems to be very reluctant. Maybe there is something unspeakable. Concubine Yun might as well ask her. It's not too late to ask her to apologize."
Just when Shui Lianyue was about to break away from Concubine Yun, suddenly, a man stood up from the table behind him and spoke slowly. Shui Lianyue heard the sound and looked around, but she saw that he was tall and elegant, with eyebrows like an ink painting and skin like a porcelain vase.
Delicate, with a gentle smile in his eyes, slightly tired, and friendly and pleasant in every move.[
who is he?
When Shui Lianyue heard this voice, she felt very familiar. She seemed to have heard it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while. When she looked back, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Nangong Yu, and saw him pouring wine for herself slowly.
There was no emotion on his face, as if what was happening now had nothing to do with him. He neither blocked nor expressed any opinions, as if he were watching a play.
The more Nangong Yu behaves like this, the more anxious Shui Lianyue is to cancel the engagement. He is not her type, not from the beginning.
"Oh? What do you have to hide? You have to say it on this occasion?" Concubine Yun's face was full of doubts. She glanced at the speaker and then turned to ask Shui Lianyue.
"Aunt, actually, the imperial concubine is right. Let's talk about the matter today to avoid being criticized in the future." Shui Lianyue slowly lowered her head, with a bewildered look, which really made people feel pity for her.
meaning.
"Wan'er, this aunt is going to talk about you. On today's occasion, is there anything that cannot be resolved privately? In front of envoys and civil and military officials from various countries, how can you make Yue'er step down? She is still a cabinet minister.
"My little girl." Concubine Yun seemed angry and a little aggrieved. She put all the blame on Situ Wan in just a few words. Even Shui Lianyue had to admire in her heart. As expected, she was the one waiting in the deep palace.
A woman who has lived is impeccable in everything she says and does.
Situ Wan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the Queen Mother, "My sister said so." The Queen Mother smiled slightly, then looked at Situ Wan, a cold look flashed in her eyes, "Wan'er, you too, today is
For the Ai family’s birthday banquet, we are settling some matters privately. Don’t mention what happened just now. Today, there will be envoys from various countries not far away from the Ai family’s birthday banquet. They must be well fed and well entertained.”
"Yes," all the maids and eunuchs present bowed and replied.
After speaking, the Queen Mother waved to the maid next to her, looked at Shui Lianyue and smiled kindly: "No matter what the matter is, rumors are just rumors, and there will always be a day when they are self-defeating. Come on, the Ai family will put this exquisite
I will give you the jade reward. After the wedding is over, we will be a family. There will be many days in the palace in the future. Aijia will chat with you slowly, haha."
The palace maid slowly walked up to Shui Lianyue carrying the exquisite jade, but Shui Lianyue was dumbfounded. She never expected that this matter would be solved after Concubine Yun said a few words.
"Yueer, why don't you thank me?" Concubine Yun touched Shui Lianyue. She came back to her senses, reached out to take the tray handed over by the palace maid, knelt down slowly, bowed and thanked her, and then returned to her seat at the table.
She still hasn't recovered. I wonder if her thinking can't keep up with the past, or things are developing too fast? It makes her feel incredible, doesn't the royal family care about reputation the most? Why not pursue it? Why? It's so easy
Just let it go?
"Queen Mother, I have specially prepared a program for the Queen Mother to express my wish for the Queen Mother to have a long and prosperous life." The man who spoke was the man who had just opened his mouth to rescue Shui Lianyue, Prince Chen Yixuan of Xiang County of Nanyang County.
The Queen Mother returned to smiling happily. When she heard that someone was preparing a program, she glanced at Chen Yixuan and nodded amiably: "Prince Xiang is interested, but didn't he say that there will be programs for women?"
"Mother, don't be anxious, I will summon the family members to prepare a program later to celebrate my mother's birthday." After Nangong Ling finished speaking, he glanced at Chen Yixuan, smiled lightly and nodded in response.
"Well, the Ai family is not in a hurry. What is anxious is them and them, haha." The Queen Mother pointed at the women, then at the men, and said with a helpless smile, "Look at the princes and princes, their necks are almost pulled out."
It’s long, hey, I hope Ning’er’s idea is right this time.”
"Mother, Ning'er has been very strange since she was a child. Do you believe her ideas?" Nangong Ling did not hide the doting look in her eyes. You must know that Nangong Ning'er is not the Queen Mother's biological daughter, but the daughter of Xuan's concubine.
, It’s just that Xuan Concubine had a difficult childbirth and died after giving birth to the princess. Therefore, Nangong Ning’er was raised by the Queen Mother since she was a child, so she naturally regarded her as her biological child. What’s more, Nangong Ning’er was well-behaved, sensible, and quirky.
It's hard not to like her.
"It's okay if the Ai family doesn't believe Ning'er's words. Besides, what she said this time is very reasonable. Since ancient times, parents have ordered matchmakers to marry, but the person they marry is often not their beloved. How can such a thing happen?
Chances are, the Ai family is also happy to see lovers finally get married." As the Queen Mother spoke, her thoughts were so busy that she even spilled the wine from the wine glass in her hand without knowing it.
When Nangong Ling saw that the Queen Mother was losing her composure, she winked at the palace maid next to her. At the palace lady's prompt, the Queen Mother came back to her senses. After covering up, she asked Chen Yixuan to arrange the show.[
