How could she not know Chu Yihua's little plan now?
Everyone is selfish, do you think she is still the weak and weak woman she was back then?
Even after becoming the Queen Mother, the fights in the harem never stopped, and how could she ever feel truly comfortable?
Shui Lianyue, a woman, even if she really wants the emperor to cancel her engagement with Nangong Yu, she can only marry the emperor. The treasures of the Jinling Palace can only belong to their mother and son. No one can even think about it, including
The whole world.
It was then, and it is now.[
She, Chu Tinglan, never gets what she wants.
In the blink of an eye, there are still five days left before the wedding to Nangong Yu. The betrothal gift that should have been delivered early has not yet been delivered to the Shui family, and there is not even a hint of news, giving Shui Yunheng a headache.
As soon as the news of the assassination of the Queen Mother in Guoyin Temple spread, it became a storm in the city and everyone knew about it. Shui Lianyue was no exception. After learning the news, she quickly asked Hongying Feigeyan Jinge to find out the inside story.
Today's Yan Jinge is much better than before under the guidance of Shui Lianyue. Although some extremely hidden information is still undetectable, she can still learn the information that others don't know first.
The sunshine is charming, and strands of it are falling in the yard, and the Qionghua that Hongying planted earlier has also sprouted branches and buds. Every time Shui Lianyue sees them, she will feel a different kind of warmth in her heart. When she looks back,
, inside the house, mother and Aunt Cui were discussing the secrets of embroidery, while Hongying was teasing Man Yue from the side. Master and brother left, but Man Yue stayed with her.
She smiled faintly, lowered her head and looked at the three koi swimming happily in the celadon tank. Occasionally, her fingertips moved slightly, and they would quickly come out, thinking that there was fish food again. Her smile deepened, and her heart felt particularly fulfilled. She raised her head.
Looking at the sky, I really hope this life can last forever.
As dusk approached, Shui Yunheng sent Lao Zhang to ask Shui Lianyue to go to the front hall. She didn't say much and just followed. Meng Qiuhe happened to be there too, and there was a girl of fifteen or sixteen standing next to her.
Her face is delicate and beautiful, and there is always a hint of innocence and simplicity around her lips and eyes, but she is not as shrewd as her mother. She is dressed in a sky blue dress that is elegant and refined, and her face is vaguely similar to Meng Qiuhe's, which can be called delicate.
"This must be the fourth sister. I didn't expect that she would be so charming now. She will be married to the prince in the future. She will be a lucky person."
Shui Lianyue glanced at her lightly. She must be Meng Qiuhe's daughter Shui Mushan. Although she looked innocent and simple, but with her mother's shrewdness, her daughter was certainly not bad. In short, she was still
It's better to be careful.
"Second sister, don't make fun of your younger sister. If my younger sister hadn't already been engaged, I'm afraid it would be my second sister who would be getting married now," Shui Lianyue said with a faint smile, brushing off her indifference.
Since the words didn't offend her, she couldn't treat him coldly, so why not say a few words back to her?
"What's more, my sister is used to making fun of people." Shui Manyao smiled shyly, her fair cheeks gained a touch of rosy color, and she hid behind Meng Qiuhe.
When Shui Yunheng and Meng Qiuhe saw this, they both smiled faintly. Of course, the happiest person here was Shui Yunheng.
Since Meng Qiuhe took charge of the house, there has been little trouble in the house, and the atmosphere in the house has become harmonious. Even the maids and wives welcome people with a smile, but it is not like before when Aunt Liu was in charge. Every time he came back from an outing, the maids would not be ignored
The mother-in-law and the servants all looked sad. Although he never said anything, he was always unhappy in his heart.
"Come, Yue'er, my father asked you to come here. I have something to discuss with you. While your aunt is here, a few people can come up with ideas." Shui Yunheng waved to Shui Lianyue and motioned for her to sit down.
, his face was naturally filled with a kind smile.
Shui Lianyue didn't refuse, and walked sideways to sit on the chair next to her. She glanced at Meng Qiuhe inadvertently, and saw that her behavior was not abnormal at the corners of her eyes, so she felt a little relieved.
"Yue'er, being a father doesn't mean anything else. It's just that the wedding is coming, but there is no news or any movement from King Yu. As a father, I feel a little awkward. Although I married into the royal family and my face is glorious, but
It doesn’t mean that we, the Shui family, have to act like cows and horses, without even caring about our face. I’m thinking of my father, and I want to ask what you mean, and see if I should send someone to the palace to ask”?
Shui Lianyue was slightly startled. She had been extremely stable these days, so she didn't pay much attention to this matter. Now think about it, the betrothal gift that was supposed to be sent in advance was not sent near the wedding date. I wonder what Nangong Yu is going to do?
Could it be that he wanted to cancel the engagement? She had an idea. Although she was a little happy, she also thought that he should also know the secret of Jinling Palace. Logically speaking, he should not wait to marry her.
After thinking for a while, Shui Lianyue looked at Meng Qiuhe and said lightly: "I wonder what Auntie means?" [
Meng Qiuhe smiled lovingly, very dignified and solemn. She looked at Shui Yunheng first, and then said softly: "I originally thought that men should marry when they are young and women should marry when they are young. Naturally, the man should be more sincere and the woman should be more reserved.
That's good, but the wedding is approaching and there is no movement from Prince Yu's palace. Rumors have spread in the streets and alleys in the past few days, which is really damaging to the Shui family's face, so I mentioned this matter to your father."
Meng Qiuhe said a few words and threw the ball to Shui Yunheng again. Not to mention Shui Yunheng, even Shui Lianyue couldn't do anything. Logically speaking, it was indeed the fault of Prince Yu's palace, but who let the family be a powerful person in the royal family? Naturally, they are superior,
What can you do to me?
King Yu was just a few days late and didn't send the betrothal gift, so the Shui Mansion sent someone to ask questions, which only made it appear that the Shui family was uneducated and was afraid that their daughter wouldn't get married. If this word spread, wouldn't the Shui family be even more shameless?
In short, it is wrong to go, and it is also wrong not to go. Whoever says this is wrong. Shui Yunheng can only make his own decision. Shui Lianyue looked at Meng Qiuhe deeply. She did not expect that she would give it here.
Put a trap on her and let her get inside?
Meng Qiuhe raised his chin slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up proudly, but it was not obvious, but Shui Lianyue could see it.
"Hey, my father is also worried about this matter, so I asked you to come and ask what you mean. If you say you will send someone to ask, my father will immediately send someone to ask, if so."
"No need," Shui Lianyue interrupted coldly before Shui Yunheng could finish, "Recently, I must have heard the news that the Queen Mother was assassinated in Guoyin Temple. People in the court were panic-stricken and suspicious.
There are several targets. If the Shui family does these things at this time, wouldn't it mean that they would be in the limelight and attract criticism?"
Shui Yunheng was originally a little angry at Shui Lianyue's lack of etiquette, but after listening to her words and thinking about it carefully, he smiled and his eyes were full of approval. He was obviously very satisfied with his daughter's answer.
, "Yue'er's words are exactly right. At this time, it's better not to be too conspicuous. The assassination of the Queen Mother is a major event. Even if the wedding date is delayed a few days, it will not be a problem."
