Chapter 142: Erase the deliberate affection
Yan Le looked at the formation in front of him and felt a headache inexplicably, the queen mother took a group of concubines in the harem, and Liang Yixuan and Liang Yining supported the queen mother, that is, the ladies in the palace came to welcome her, which is really a troublesome thing.
"Don't be afraid, my brother is here." Wu Tingmo appeared beside Yan Le very quickly, he comforted her softly and relieved her crampedness, he knew that she didn't like troublesome things.
"Don't be afraid, brother don't worry about me, if you don't want to meet your cousin, go back first." Yan Le whispered, remembering that his brother and Liang Yining had an argument that day, and they hadn't met again that day, and this meeting should be very awkward in front of so many people.
"I'm fine, I'll accompany you, and the two sisters will find trouble with you." Wu Tingmo smiled at Yan Le, signaled her not to worry too much, and then made a silent gesture to her.
Yan Le was silent, walking side by side with Wu Tingmo, until he came to everyone, slowly lowered his body and saluted, his voice was flat and gentle: "Lingxi see the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, and the Imperial Concubine." β
"Ting Mo sees the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, and the Imperial Concubine."
"Both of them are exempt from courtesy, so let's come to the imperial grandmother." The Empress Dowager's kind voice sounded, her eyebrows were full of smiles, and she waved her hand to ask the two to come closer.
The graceful and luxurious queen looked at the two of them with a sincere smile, and said in a soft tone: "As soon as Ling Xi comes back, Ting Mo really has a brother, Ting Mo, a lifelong event is about to start, your sister is engaged, how can you be empty." She looked sideways at Liang Yining, who was beside the Queen Mother, and smiled at her knowingly.
Liang Yining's heart was jumping, and her originally low mood suddenly rose, she thought that if the queen mother talked to her aunt for herself, maybe it would be fine.
"The queen mother is right, Tingmo's heart has finally let go of all these years, and the next thing is to find someone who is destined, fortunately, Tingmo, a person who is destined, has never appeared, otherwise she would have waited for a long time."
Wu Tingmo's words made the originally joyful atmosphere suddenly embarrassed, who didn't know that the queen's mother meant to let Wu Tingmo marry Liang Yining, and Liang Yining, as the second princess of my pilgrimage to the saint today, is already nineteen years old, and it will be double ten in another year, and there has never been a princess who has not yet decided on marriage after the coming-of-age ceremony.
And Wu Tingmo's statement that he is now looking for someone destined undoubtedly shows his unwillingness to Liang Yining, which is unjustifiable in any aspect.
Because no one in Yunheng knows that the husband Liang Yining wants to marry is Wu Tingmo.
"Don't talk about this, this kid has been disobedient since he was a child, let's ignore him, queen, let the concubines go back, it's over." It's good to mourn the family and bring the spirit back to the palace. There was a little anger in the queen mother's voice, she didn't agree with Wu Tingmo refutating the queen's intentions in front of so many people, and shaved Liang Yining's face.
She stretched out her hand to pull Yan Le, leaving everyone behind, including Liang Yining and Liang Yixuan, who were originally supporting her, and took Yan Le to the harem herself.
When she was far away, she released her anger and complained to Yan Le: "Xiao Lingxi, look at your brother, Yi Ning has been waiting for so many years, and he actually doesn't give her face like this." She thought that she was still naΓ―ve just now and persuaded Yi Ning that Tingmo may have been out for too long, if you cover him more, maybe it will be hot, and Lingxi has entered the palace, and his brother has designated to run here every day, so your chance is still there.
But this disobedient Ting Mo grandson directly said that he was going to find someone who was destined.
Yan Le looked at the queen mother who became more and more angry, feeling helpless and funny, and comforted her in a slow tone: "Grandma Huang, don't be angry, my brother is like this, you know, he is a stupid big man, he can only train and fight, so probably he doesn't like this restrained woman, you ignore him, let him find someone who is destined to go, and when he finds a rough woman to come back in the future, we will laugh at him together." β
"You, speaking of which, you're still helping him, no wonder he loves you so much, in the past, he avoided the palace and avoided Yi Ning, and today he specially sent you, which shows his nervousness about you." The Queen Mother said helplessly, but most of her anger disappeared with Yan Le's special reassurance.
She thought that Yan Le had some truth, but it was not right, which man would like a rough woman. In the final analysis, the most suitable thing for Ting Mo is Yi Ning, a princess in the show of wisdom, a brave and warlike general, a natural pair.
"Then the imperial grandmother should be regarded as my brother, but Ling Xi is really comforting the imperial grandmother." Yan Le changed his gentle tone, took the queen mother's hand and shook it gently, asking her to believe in herself.
The queen mother looked at her good-looking little face with a little grievance, her bright eyes seemed to be flashing, and her heart was extraordinarily soft, so she was willing to be angry with her.
The Empress Dowager gently patted Yan Le's hand to make her stop, looked at her lovingly, and then said in a helpless tone: "Okay, well, Ling Xi is comforting the imperial grandmother, the imperial grandmother is not angry, but when you see your brother again, help the imperial grandmother tell him not to regret it in the future." β
"Okay, Ling Xi must tell my brother, hmph, let's see that Cousin Yining will marry someone more powerful than you in the future." Yan Le finally breathed a sigh of relief, she felt that her brother was really pitiful, although the emperor's holy decree had not been issued for a long time, and she could avoid it for a while, but if she really made an edict one day, she would not accept it to resist the decree, but if she did, she would have to be tied up with someone she didn't love.
Alas, poor one, when you meet him, you should comfort him well.
"Xiao Lingxi, the imperial grandmother has chosen a good place for you, and you will live in Hanlian Palace, although it is far away from the imperial grandmother's Qianning Palace, it is a good place." The queen mother thought that her place was unknown now, so she chose this place close to Yi Ning, so that it was convenient for Yi Ning and Ling Xi to contact their feelings, Ting Mo loved Ling Xi so much, if Ling Xi helped Yi Ning say a few words, maybe Ting Mo's concept would change.
Yan Le knew why the Queen Mother chose Hanlian Palace, which was far away from her Qianning Palace, because someone died there two days ago, so she was afraid of bad luck.
"Thank you, Grandma Huang, it's good for Lingxi to live anywhere, Lingxi brought two people together, and they can all live in Hanlian Palace." Yan Le looked sideways at Pan Xia and Yan Mo, who had been following behind her, and suddenly collided with Yan Mo's eyes, she was about to smile at him, but saw him avoid her gaze, and lowered her head again.
Yan Le was inexplicably puzzled, could it be that something happened last night? What could it be?
Yan Le slowly recalled that he was the one who took him out of the plank road when he was unconscious underwater, when he felt a hot breath entering his body, when he opened his eyes, Yan Mo's hand covered his mouth, pinched his nose, and then wanted to take himself up, because the safety rope disappeared.
And then he didn't post anything on the shore, could it be that Ling Yi said something to him, shouldn't it, Ling Yi is not that kind of person. So what's really going on?
When she arrived at Hanlian Palace, Yan Le was still puzzled, until the Queen Mother called her back to her senses: "Xiao Lingxi, what do you want?" β
"No," she reacted quickly.
"Bai Yi see the Queen Mother."
Yan Le was a little surprised when she heard Bai Yi's humble and polite voice, she didn't understand why he was waiting for her here, this is not polite, after all, only the female dependents came forward today.
"Bai Yi, you have a heart, welcome Lingxi here." The Queen Mother is not stupid, she can almost see Bai Yi's thoughts, he is close to Lingxi everywhere, is he really like Lingxi? But according to Bai Yi's stable temperament, she should be suppressed, why do she always find Lingxi without suspicion, she is a woman with a marriage contract.
"Bai Yi has seen the princess." His gaze became tender when he arrived at Yan Le, which he deliberately exaggerated, he wanted others to think that he liked Yan Le, and the more people felt like this, the better.
"The master suddenly became more polite, don't bother the apprentice."
"The princess is still as approachable, but the princess, obviously we only met yesterday, how can Bai Yi feel that he hasn't seen him for a long time, and the princess's blood has suddenly changed for the better."
The corners of Yan Le's mouth almost couldn't hang up, the longing revealed in Bai Yi's words was really obvious, and he also bluntly said that the too personal problem of qi and blood, was he directly magnifying the move? Do you want to sit directly on the topic that he is very close to himself? He has been like this since the first meeting, and he is really patient.
Yan Le told herself in her heart that she should be the same patient, she showed an innocent and simple smile again, and said in a calm tone: "The master really loves to laugh, did the master come to me to urge me to practice chess." β
As long as we talk about chess, that is the topic that Grandma Huang is most interested in, Yan Le's eyes flashed with cunning.
"Speaking of chess, the mourning family hasn't played for a long time, Bai Yi, otherwise how about we learn today." The Queen Mother's eyes were shining, her love for chess was more than anything else, and at this mention, the chess addiction came.
Yan Le suppressed the success in his eyes, and quickly answered, not giving Bai Yi a chance to refuse.
"The master will definitely agree, the master taught me a few days ago, but I still can't, so I still have to come to the master and the imperial grandmother, watch it with pity, and learn a few tricks secretly."
"You girl, I think you don't study seriously, back then, your mother, I will teach her." The Queen Mother didn't believe that Yan Le hadn't learned it for half a month since she said that she had learned chess, so she must have given up halfway.
Bai Yi's heart sneered, he thought that since she was no longer curious, then he was going to make a move, after all, this princess was playing a lot of fun.
He hurriedly defended her: "Don't blame the princess for the queen mother, it's Bai Yi's responsibility, and the princess has only learned twice." β
"The main thing is that I can't find the trick, otherwise Grandma Huang, let's go to your chess and card room to study and study?" She continued with her plan.
"Okay, let's go, the three of us will discuss this chess." The queen mother said happily, waved her hand directly, and asked the two of them to go to Qianning Palace with her.
"Then the imperial grandmother and the master, you go first, I will change my clothes, this dress is uncomfortable." Yan Le said briskly, pulling his sleeves awkwardly.
"Okay, then you change, Grandma Huang and Bai Yi will start first, Grandma Huang has studied the chess game last time, and she will definitely be able to win Bai Yi." The Queen Mother is already eager to try, where is she still in the mood to wait for Yan Le to change her clothes.
Bai Yi still had a gentle smile on his face, but no one noticed that a trace of impatience flashed under his gentle illusion, and his dissatisfaction with Yan Le flashed.
