Chapter name: 734 Don’t know whether to advance or retreat
"Hua Lin?" Chu Yiqing was stunned. She asked Hua Qi specifically when Hua Qi came into the palace a few days ago. Hua Qi also said that she would teach Hua Lin a lesson this time and that she was not allowed to enter the palace during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
,Did Hua Qi change her mind again?
When he thought that Hua Lin might be here for the marriage, Chu Yiqing sighed a little, but he couldn't hide away, so he had to say: "Let her come in!"
The palace maid hurriedly went outside the palace to spread the news.
Hua Lin was waiting anxiously outside the palace. When he saw a palace maid coming out, he quickly stepped forward and asked, "How is it? Will my aunt see me?"
The palace maid hurriedly cheered up and said: "The Queen is inviting Miss Hua in!"
Hua Lin felt happy, she just said, she grew up with Aunt Chu, how could Aunt Chu be so cruel and not care about her!
Hua Lin was thinking about it and was about to go in. He looked at Mrs. Zhang beside him and suddenly said: "Mother Zhang, please wait outside!".
Mrs. Zhang was stunned and had no choice but to respond.[
Hua Lin followed the palace maid into the palace.
At this moment, Chu Yiqing had already brought Dongzhu with him and was preparing for the final decoration, when Hua Lin came in.
"Aunt Chu!" As soon as she saw Chu Yiqing, Hua Lin's grievances over the past few days suddenly came to her heart. She didn't even salute. She stepped forward and knelt under Chu Yiqing, hugging Chu Yiqing's legs.
started to cry.
Chu Yiqing sighed, stroked Hua Lin's soft hair, and whispered: "Okay, you are such a big kid, why are you crying?"
Yingqian also smiled and said: "Miss Hua, please think of some clothes for the queen. The queen will go out to host a palace banquet soon!"
Hua Lin quickly wiped her tears, raised her head, and looked at Chu Yiqing aggrievedly, "Aunt Chu, don't you like Lin'er? How could you treat Lin'er like this? These days, you don't let Lin'er enter the palace, why don't you?
Does Aunt Chu know how sad Lin'er is that she wants Lin'er to marry someone she doesn't know?"
Chu Yiqing sighed and whispered: "Lin'er, I am doing this for your own good. Prince An Dinghou was chosen by the emperor and I. Regardless of his talent or character, he is a superior. The emperor and I are
I really mean it to you, but you..."
Hua Lin bit her lip and said, "Aunt Chu, I won't marry anyone else, I just like Abao! Aunt Chu, can't you let me enter the palace?"
Chu Yiqing was stunned and sighed, "Lin'er, when I asked you to accept me as your foster mother, you should have understood what I was thinking. I believe you know better than anyone else how A Bao has treated you over the years.
Why do you have to force it?"
Hua Lin blushed, "Aunt Chu, I grew up with A Bao. I know A Bao best. A Bao likes me. Really, he likes me!"
Chu Yiqing was a little irritable, but he still explained patiently: "I was entrusted by your grandfather to treat you and Qi'er as adopted daughters and sons. Naturally, I hope that you both have a happy life. Your eldest brother Hua Qi,
I don't have to worry about you anymore, but you... Lin'er, your simple temper is not suitable for life in this palace. Let's not talk about how A Bao treats you. I am doing this entirely for your own good. Why are you doing this?
Don’t you understand?”
Hua Lin started to have a stubborn temper again, shook his head and said: "I don't care, I won't marry unless I'm A Bao. Aunt Chu, you love me so much, just let me do it!"
Just as Chu Yiqing was about to say something, he saw a palace maid coming to report again: "Queen, the old lady, madam and others have arrived!"
Chu Yiqing took the opportunity to stand up and said: "Hua Lin, I still have guests here. You should go back first. We will talk about this later!"
Hua Lin finally met Chu Yiqing, but he was not willing to let go of this opportunity. He held Chu Yiqing's hand and refused to let go, but was forcefully sent away by Yingqian.[
At this time, Mrs. Huangfu and Jin Yu also arrived at Qiankun Palace and followed the palace maid into the hall.
Hua Lin was angry at the group of people who came to interrupt her good deeds. When she met them, she was about to give them a fierce look, but she saw that it was Mrs. Huangfu and others. She felt happy and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Hua Lin, hello."
Grandma, meet Aunt Jinyu!"
Mrs. Huangfu looked at the graceful Hua Lin in front of her and said happily: "Is it Lin'er? We haven't seen her for so many years and she has become even more beautiful. I almost didn't recognize her!"
Hua Lin smiled faintly.
At this moment, Hua Lin was still wearing a cloak, but the faint green color flowed out of the cloak, which made Huangfu's eyes wide open.
"Oh, Yiqing, you are really willing to give up to Lin'er. You are all dressed in sky-blue water, tsk tsk!" Huangfu Xin couldn't help but say.
When Huangfu Xin said this, Mrs. Huangfu paid attention and immediately said displeased: "Xin'er, what are you talking about?"
Huangfu said displeasedly: "Isn't it right? Yiqing cares so much about other people's children, but I don't know how filial you are to your sister-in-law! You didn't even give me a blue sky and water handkerchief!"
Mrs. Huangfu was about to say something when she heard Yingqian interrupt and say: "Madam Gu, the Queen does not need these luxuries, and there is no sky and water in the palace. These clothes belong to Miss Hualin herself!"
Mrs. Huangfu said angrily: "Xin'er, if you don't understand the rules again, you will go back!"
Being scolded by so many people, Huangfu felt a little angry, but he still endured it and turned his face to the side without saying a word.
Hua Lin pulled off his cloak and wrapped Tian Shuibi, and said with a strong smile: "Aunt Chu is waiting for you all inside, so Hua Lin will excuse me!"
After Hua Lin finished speaking, he turned to Yingqian and said, "Sister Yingqian, please serve the old lady. I still want to take a walk in the palace!"
Only then did he realize that he had just ordered Hua Lin to be sent out of the Qiankun Palace, but not that he wanted to send her out. Yingqian didn't feel comfortable making her own decisions, so she nodded.
Hua Lin saluted again, said goodbye to Mrs. Huangfu and others, and took Mrs. Zhang all the way east to Jingyi Palace.
Yingqian glanced at the direction Hua Lin was going, and then took Mrs. Huangfu and others into the Qiankun Palace.
As soon as they entered the palace, while Chu Yiqing was greeting Mrs. Huangfu and others, Yingqian stepped forward and whispered something in Chu Yiqing's ear. Chu Yiqing's eyes darkened and he sighed again.
tone.
"Yiqing, is there something important? We are all members of the same family, so you don't have to be polite and don't worry about us, just do your business!" Mrs. Huangfu said quickly.
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "There is nothing important, just a small matter, the people below can handle it!"
Huangfu Xin immediately said: "That's right, sister-in-law, now that Yiqing is the empress, do you still think you can still do everything by yourself like you did in Shangjia Village? Now it's just a matter of lip service!"
Chu Yiqing smiled lightly, indicating to Ying Qian that we would discuss the matter later, and then asked Huangfu: "When did my little sister come to the capital? My mother didn't tell me anything!"
Huangfu Xin quickly said: "I have been here for more than a month. I have wanted to come to the palace to see you several times, but my sister-in-law refused to let me go. She said that you were busy. It is not easy for me to have the opportunity to come to the palace!"
Mrs. Huangfu sighed in her heart, raised her eyes and said: "This time your sister-in-law came with Wu Yao, leaving Wu Laowu and Yang at home. I bought them for her on the outskirts of the city a few days ago.
We set up a small courtyard and wanted to bring Wu Laowu and Yang family over, but Wu Laowu and Yang family just refused to come!"
Chu Yiqing asked: "Why don't you come?"
Mrs. Huangfu shook her head, "I guess they are reluctant to leave Shangjia Village. Although Shangjia Village is not as prosperous as the capital city, it is their home after all. They are all used to it!"
"Forget it if you don't come, it won't let others know that Yao'er has such a shameful father!" Huangfu said nonchalantly.
Old Mrs. Huangfu was so angry that she slapped Huangfu Xin on the shoulder, "You are already fifty, how can you be so ignorant? Without Wu Laowu, where would Wu Yao come from? If Wu Yao really thinks so
, then his life will be over, and he will be as virtuous as you!"
Huangfu received a slap in his heart. In addition, he was scolded by the old lady Huangfu outside the palace before. He became even more reluctant. He stepped aside and said, "Sister-in-law, you also know that I am over fifty years old. Even though I am like this,
Do you think it’s appropriate to reprimand or slap in front of outsiders?”
Mrs. Huangfu was so angry that she was trembling all over.
Jin Yu quickly stepped forward and said: "Okay, sister-in-law, please stop making such a fuss. What kind of place is this? Can you make such a fuss?"
Chu Yiqing looked at Huangfu Xin and couldn't help but sigh. It is indeed true that people say that a country is easy to change and its nature is hard to change. In the past few years, Wu Laowu was very capable, but Huangfu Xin had been quiet for a few years. Now that he has arrived in the capital,
This old habit has happened again!
Hua Lin went to Jingyi Palace to find A Bao, but was told that A Bao had gone to the emperor's study room. Hua Lin knew that Li Huang did not love her as much as Chu Yiqing did, so he hesitated and looked at the things on his body.
It’s better to go to Bixin Pavilion to show off the great Tianshui Bi material!
Hua Lin made up his mind and took Mrs. Zhang to Bixin Pavilion, but he didn't know that something big was going on in Hua Mansion.
The servants of Hua Mansion searched the house for a long time but did not find the wild cat. Hua Qi got angry and punished the few servants who were guarding him. He also wanted to sell off the women and maids who served Xu Yunxi. Those women and maids,
They all knelt on the ground and shouted for mercy.
No one wants this kind of mother-in-law and maidservants who are sold out by wealthy families. Their end will be really miserable!
Xu Yunxi was lying on the bed in the back room, listening to the begging for mercy from her mother-in-law and the maids, so she got up and asked someone to call Hua Qi in.
Hua Qi entered the inner room, and when she saw Xu Yunxi's pale face, she quickly stepped forward to help her arm, sat down on the side of the bed and said, "You just had a miscarriage and need to rest. What are you doing up?"
Xu Yunxi whispered: "I heard Yu Ma and the others begging for mercy just now. Are you going to sell them?"
Hua Qi nodded with a cold face.
"Mom Yu is the dowry wife I brought from the Xu family. She has always been devoted to me. What happened this time was just an accident. No one expected it. Please don't anger them!" Xu Yunxi pleaded on behalf of Ma Yu and the others.
"If they had taken a good look at you, they wouldn't have..." Hua Qi said distressedly.
Ever since Hua Qi got angry with Xu Yunxi that day, she had been living in the study and would not even eat with Xu Yunxi. Now seeing that Hua Qi insisted on selling her dowry, Xu Yunxi couldn't help crying again, "You blame
They just blame me. I was careless and did not protect the legitimate descendants of your Hua family. I..."
Hua Qi said displeased: "What are you saying? The child is gone. Do you think I only care about the child? Don't I care about you?"
Xu Yunxi was stunned and looked at Hua Qi in disbelief.
"I don't know what's wrong with you these days, but you say some ridiculous things. You asked me to take a concubine before, and now you say I blame you for losing the child. Yunxi, you were reasonable and reasonable before, and you have never been like this recently.
What's wrong? Is it really because of having a child that her temperament has changed drastically?" Hua Qi sighed and said, "That's all, since you feel sorry for them, you can keep them, but you can't be lenient and drag one person out to beat the other two.
Ten big boards and a year's salary penalty should give them a long memory. Don't think that just because the master treats them well, he can be so careless!"
Xu Yunxi was speechless and had no choice but to respond.
"The Queen is still waiting for us to enter the palace for the banquet. Now there is no way. I will go to the palace to report to the Queen first, so as to save her from worrying about it!" Hua Qi said again.
Xu Yunxi nodded again.
Hua Qi came out of the house and was about to enter the palace when he saw Hua Gen coming from the backyard in a hurry, looking panicked, "Sir, it's bad, the lady is missing!"
Hua Qi was stunned, "Gone? How is that possible?"
"Just now we were only looking for wild cats and didn't pay attention to the lady's movements. Only now did we realize that the lady was missing!" Hua Gen sighed.
Hua Qi suddenly thought of something, and immediately entered the study room, and found that the invitation that had been placed on the desk was missing. His eyes darkened, and he quickly turned around and walked out, ordering Hua Gen: "Hurry and prepare the car, I want to go in
palace!"
Huagan responded quickly.
Hua Lin's carriage arrived outside the palace, but because the palace gate was blocked, the time to enter the palace was delayed. At this time, Hua Lin had already arrived at Bixin Pavilion.
It was less than an hour before the palace banquet started, and everyone had gradually started to take their seats.
When Hua Lin arrived outside Bixin Pavilion, a maid came and took Hua Lin to the table.
At the entrance of Bixin Pavilion, Hua Lin handed his cloak to Granny Zhang beside him, and walked slowly along the bridge. Dressed in the blue sky and water, which contrasted with the lake, he stood out and quickly attracted everyone present.
The glance immediately aroused several envious sounds.
"Look, that's Miss Hua Jia, the adopted daughter of the current Queen!" someone whispered.
"It turns out that she is the adopted daughter of the Queen. No wonder she can wear those tens of thousands of taels of Tianshui Bi!" Another female voice whispered.
Although Huaqi is a third-grade classic, her salary is limited and she absolutely cannot afford such luxurious clothes!
"The Empress has always been frugal and dislikes luxury. No one in the palace has ever worn Tianshuibi, so how could she wear it for an adopted daughter? I don't know where this material came from!" Another woman said lowly.
said the voice.
"Look at the top of that head. It's the finest Laokeng jadeite. I'm afraid it costs ten thousand taels of silver!" Someone else exclaimed.
Everyone looked up and began to calculate in their minds. Shui Bi's shirt that day probably cost thirty thousand taels. Plus that face, Hua Lin's clothes today cost forty thousand taels of silver. Tsk tsk...
As Hua Lin walked along, she felt everyone's gazes, and the expression on her face became more and more proud. But the more proud she was, the more regrettable it was that Abao was not here now. If he were, he would definitely be able to see her at a glance!
At this moment, Ruimin was coming from the Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor. She was wearing a duck-egg blue three-collar narrow-sleeved skirt with a long jade hairpin in her hair. Although she was a mother, her hair was still black.
Her skin is as white as snow, her duck-egg green dress, and the green hairpin on her head make her even more beautiful.
In the past, her look would definitely have caught people's attention, but it was a pity that it was overshadowed by the blue sky and water weighing ten thousand taels of silver!
Ruimin looked at Hua Lin, couldn't help but curled his lips, snorted coldly, deliberately slowed down, and waited for Hua Lin to sit down before going in.
At this moment, Ling Dang was already sitting aside, and opposite her was Yu Linzhi.
Yu Linzhi stared at Ling Dang intently. When Hua Lin came in just now, he didn't turn his face at all, but Ling Ding kept his head lowered, so he didn't see Hua Lin come in.
Hua Lin walked gracefully and saw the bell at a glance, then looked at the clothes on the bell, curled her lips, and pretended not to have seen it, and walked straight over.
At this moment, Hu Yan was talking to several young men. One young man poked Hu Yan and asked him to look at Hua Lin, who was walking over. He then whispered: "This is Miss Hua. It's a pity that such a flower is as beautiful as jade."
, Prince Hu is actually not blessed!"
Externally, An Dinghou said that he could not marry Hualin because of his previous engagement, but everyone close to him knew the inside story.
Hu Yan watched Hua Lin walking up and down, attracting attention and people talking, so he smiled lightly and said: "It was just a set off by the green clothes that day, and besides, this kind of woman who only knows how to show off,
It’s better to stay far away!”
"That's right. People say that Hua Dianshi's sleeves are cool. His girl's clothes cost tens of thousands of taels. I don't know where the money came from. Is it really a gift from the Queen?" The young man said with a smile.
Hu Yan shook his head and said, "It is not a blessing to have a girl like this who doesn't know how to advance or retreat!"
The young masters started laughing, and when they saw Hua Lin sitting down, they stopped talking and changed the topic.
Hu Yan secretly raised his eyes and glanced at Hua Lin again, and saw that Hua Lin was sitting down at this moment, sitting upright, not squinting, with an arrogant look on his face, and not talking to the people next to him.
Hu Yan shook his head and no longer focused on Hua Lin, but started talking to those young masters again.
At this moment, Mrs. Liu Guogong arrived. Today she came alone, with only two maids in green clothes. After entering Bixin Pavilion, she was led by the maid to sit down, and the two maids were waiting beside her.
With.
Yan Wan followed Mr. Liu Guogong, keeping his head hanging tightly. Now after Mrs. Liu Guogong sat down, she raised her eyes and began to look at her secretly.
Today is the Lantern Festival and Valentine's Day. Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!
