After Huai Fanghua left, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more strange. Huai Moran knocked on the coffee table with one hand, and his eyes lightly glanced at Huai Yao Song, who was still kneeling there respectfully. He couldn't help but frown and said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, just now I
I've already called you 'Dad', but if you kneel like this, aren't you going to shorten your daughter's life?"
Huai Yao Song's face turned cold, and then he raised his eyebrows and kowtowed, and said in a deep voice: "I have no such intention in replying to my mother-in-law. It's just that my wife and daughter made a mistake, and I am willing to be punished."
Huai Moran said calmly: "I don't want to punish you. I am here today to reminisce, not to find trouble. Well, it seems that no one is serving this tea. In this case, I am tired. I want to
Let's go and rest." After that, she stood up slowly, but suddenly looked at Gu Liu'er, whose face was ashen, and raised her eyebrows and said: "Madam, have the rooms of my subordinates been arranged?"
Gu Liu'er hurriedly said: "The arrangements have been made, but the rooms in the Prime Minister's Mansion are not large enough to accommodate so many people, and the two of them sharing a room really wronged everyone, so I made my own decision and booked the rooms of the two big families next door.
The other courtyard... I don’t know if the empress is satisfied or not.”
Huai Moran waved her hands and said nonchalantly: "It's good if you have a place to live. I'll take a nap, you can do whatever you want." After that, she yawned and left the main hall, while Baili Yexuan followed closely and exited.
In the main hall, he did not follow Huai Moran, because he knew that it was not suitable to go to her at this time.
After Gu Liuer left with Mo Ran in her arms, her heart finally dropped. She took a long breath and said hurriedly: "I'm going to see Fanghua."
Huai Yaosong stood up slowly and scolded in a cold voice: "You are not allowed to go!"
Gu Liuer turned her face and said with some disbelief: "Master, do you really want to see that child Qinghua suffer so much? Now, as a mother, am I not qualified to even comfort her?"
She is also angry. Huai Fanghua has always been her darling. Not to mention beating her, no one has ever scolded her. Today, the third prince and Huai Moran humiliated her in front of them.
Huai Yao Song, whom she loved so much, also slapped her hard. How could this not make the mother-in-law Gu Liuer feel resentful?
Huai Yao Song did not hesitate or feel guilty as before, but said with a dark face: "Do you know where that girl wants to live?"
Gu Liuer pursed her lips and said angrily: "Where else can there be a place? Didn't she secretly go to Haitang House to play in the past? Now that she is humiliating us, she will naturally live there."
"It would be great if that were the case!" Huai Yaosong said angrily, "It's a pity that she wanted to see us make a fool of ourselves, and now she has gone to the original courtyard."
Gu Liuer finally regained some color on her face and all the color faded away again. She covered her chest in surprise and murmured: "This woman is really scary..." If she knew that Huai Moran would one day
When she becomes a Rakshasa-like woman, she will definitely not do those stupid things, let alone let her pregnancy push her into the abyss of hell.
Huai Yao Song shook his head helplessly. Seeing that Gu Liu'er was still in a trance, he couldn't help but get angry and shouted: "Why don't you hurry up and follow me?"
Gu Liuer was so frightened by his shout that she dared to get angry but did not dare to say anything. She had no choice but to bow and step out of the threshold quickly, chasing after Huai Moran. Back then, she was also an extremely arrogant young lady.
After Feng Guang, the darling daughter of the previous prime minister, married Huai Yao Song, who was still the minister of the Ministry of War at the time, she relied on her father to act tyrannically, and Yi Qi pointed out that Huai Yao Song did not dare to offend her and allowed her to do whatever she wanted.
But later her father stepped down from the position of prime minister, and Huai Yao Song became the prime minister, and began to take concubines. Her father also advised her not to have a hard time with Huai Yao Song, so she went to those concubines to attack Huai Yao Song.
Yao Song was concerned about her father's remaining power, so he did not pursue the case.
After that, Huai Yao Song was obsessed with power and stopped taking concubines. Her father also died of old age in the capital. She lost her support, but her position was stable because of her daughter. None of the concubines dared to say anything, and they kept to themselves and lived like a nun.
, even the only eyesore, the embroiderer who gave birth to a daughter for Yao Song, was obedient and did not dare to say anything.
It's just... all this changed because of Huai Mo Ran. Huai Mo Ran was like a phoenix reborn from the Nirvana, reborn in the most gorgeous posture, catching everyone off guard and full of fear.
Huai Moran walked very slowly, as if she was strolling in the garden, but in fact, she was waiting for Gu Liuer to catch up. Sure enough, when she was struggling with which direction her room was, Gu Liuer caught up with her, panting.
She smiled attentively and said: "Empress, I will take you over here and personally serve you tea to apologize."
Huai Moran said calmly: "Then there is Mrs. Lao."
The two of them were speechless all the way, and gradually arrived at Huai Moran's old residence - a dilapidated courtyard that was even worse than the servants' accommodation. It had obviously been hastily cleaned, but even so, it still looked old and dilapidated.
Huai Moran stared blankly at this other courtyard. She had known that Huai Yaosong would not have guessed that she would live here, so she definitely didn't care about this place at all. And just now he winked at the housekeeper, just asking the housekeeper to clean it up.
It's a pity that the old tiles are still the old tiles, and the broken walls are still broken. There is no change at all.
When Liangchen saw this other courtyard, his heart was filled with shock. Even Baishuang couldn't help but frown. They looked at each other and saw a hint of anger in each other's eyes. The next moment, Liangchen said leisurely:
"It's really surprising that the Prime Minister's Mansion still has such a dilapidated courtyard."
Huai Moran slowly closed her eyes, and the memory of which woman actually came to mind. She saw that cowardly girl burning the midnight oil to buy a pair of earrings as a birthday gift for her mother on a stormy night, embroidering
A landscape and a begonia, she saw the arrogant Huai Fanghua pouring a basin of cold water over the head of the frail woman in the cold winter, causing her to be infected with cold and bedridden all day long...
.
These sad memories made Huai Moran couldn't help but lose her eyes. She turned her face and lowered her eyes, as if she didn't want to take another look at the shabby yard, but her words were still calm and gentle: "This is where I live.
I haven’t been back to that other courtyard for a long time, and I almost forgot what my own courtyard looks like.”
Her words were naturally sarcastic, but also a little emotional, because she did not expect that Huai Moran and Xiu Niang would live in such a simple and rough place, and that the lady standing in the yard waiting to serve her
The maids, in this dilapidated courtyard, are like delicate narcissus, out of tune with this environment.
Huai Moran's eyes were a bit colder. She turned her face and fixed her eyes on Gu Liu'er's face. Gu Liu'er was sweating coldly and hesitantly said: "Now that I have a noble status, I cannot live in a place like this.
Why not... go to Haitangju?"
Huai Moran sneered and said: "I have always hated Haitang the most. Besides, I also want to miss the past, so let's live here." After that, she stepped into the threshold, Liangchen hurriedly lifted up her skirt, raised her eyebrows and said: "My dear, my dear."
,careful."
Huai Moran didn't care, he just went straight to one of the rooms and looked at the surrounding furnishings. Apparently, the clever housekeeper had replaced all the mattresses with new ones as quickly as possible.
There is not even a main hall for drinking tea in the courtyard. If you guessed correctly, the two rooms are exactly the rooms where Mo Ran and Xiu Niang were pregnant.
Huai Moran sighed softly, it was unimaginable that the prime minister's daughter should live such a miserable life. Her sigh sounded like thunder in Gu Liu'er's ears.
"Your Majesty, please sit down and I'll make tea for you." Gu Liuer said with a panicked expression.
Huai Moran glanced at the exquisitely carved rosewood round table, and then at the lacquered gold incense burner with intricate carvings. He suddenly sneered, walked to the table, and said indifferently: "Like this
There are so many expensive things in the house, and it’s really out of place.”
Gu Liuer blushed while making tea: "Yes...yes..."
Huai Moran stopped talking and just watched Gu Liuer making tea quietly. Gu Liuer was worthy of being the daughter of the prime minister back then. I heard that she was only twenty-eight years old when she married into the Huai family. Now that twenty years have passed, she maintains
Deyi, her skin is still supple and tender like a flower girl, her figure is exquisite and graceful, and her every move is elegant. It is no wonder that no matter how many women she marries, Yao Song still loves her the most. The embroiderers who are several years younger than her look even more beautiful.
How much older is she?
Huai Moran didn't know how cold his eyes were. The elegant posture that Gu Liu'er rarely maintained while making tea finally ended with a tremor in her aggressive eyes. Gu Liu'er tried hard to make this tea.
The movements were beautiful, but she found that her hands began to tremble uncontrollably, and the culprit was still staring at her cheek coldly, as if he wanted to put a scar on her face.
Liangchen suppressed a smile on the side. She also thought that Huai Moran was putting pressure on Gu Liuer. Seeing Gu Liuer's trembling appearance, she felt so happy. After listening to Xiu Niang's words, she had no good impression of the Huai family.
In addition, seeing the environment where Huai Mo Ran lived, her heart became cold again. If she could, she would give Liu Er a good slap in the face to vent her anger for Huai Mo Ran.
"Your Majesty, drink tea." Gu Liuer finally poured the tea and carefully handed it to Huai Moran.
Huai Moran raised her eyes and glanced at it, then took it immediately. She raised her eyes slightly, glanced at Gu Liu'er, and then suddenly smiled. That smile was so unreasonable that it made people hairy.
The urge to take it back.
Huai Moran had covered her sleeves and took a sip of tea gracefully. Immediately, she nodded slightly and praised: "The tea brewed by Mrs. Huai is indeed fragrant. If it is the tea given by the emperor, it will definitely taste better." After that,
, she raised her eyes and looked at Huai Yao Song, who had arrived belatedly, with a wicked smile on her lips, and said lightly: "I am a little tired, Mrs. Huai, please go down first."
"Yes, your Majesty, have a good rest." Gu Liu'er suddenly felt a sense of relief. She hurriedly turned around and prepared to go out. However, the moment she was about to step out of the threshold, she heard the sound of tea being spilled, and Liangchen screamed:
"Empress! Empress, what's wrong with you?"
