Chapter XVII: The Queen
Shen Qiang was also stupid when she looked at the scenery in front of her, it was not the first time she had come here, her father had brought her aunt here when she was a child. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info mentioned the heart of the aunt, but she did not hate her as much as her mother, after all, she had to bring her here under the pressure of her father, in the peach blossoms in the sky she gently said to her, stained with the blessings here, you will be able to find a good husband in the future.
Shen Qiang raised the corners of her mouth happily, and now she finally found it. She looked at the prince beside her who was looking up at the sky.
Leng Liyan raised his eyes to look at the sky, his eyes were vicious, and the joints of his fingers were pinched white by him. Yun Mo! Cool off the dust! You're all good! One day, Prince Ben wants you to crawl down in front of Prince Ben and lick his shoes. The corners of his mouth are dark, and you will see how arrogant you will be then!
"Prince?" Shen Qiang scratched her head beside her for a long time, but the prince didn't react at all, she leaned over a little and found that he was distracted! Her heart was slightly annoyed, she was fine just now, what's the matter now, was she hooked by that fox girl in Shuli? She tightened the hand hidden in her sleeve, and in a blink of an eye, she smiled tenderly, "What is the prince thinking?" It's better to talk to Qiang'er, Qiang'er is willing to do her best to help the prince share his worries. β
"You?" Leng Liyan turned around and rudely twisted her waist, and Shen Qiang exclaimed in surprise. The disdain in his eyes became more and more intense, and when she looked at her moist eyes, he lowered his voice, and the deep male voice was in her ears, "Qiang'er is by the side of this prince is to share the worries of this prince, there is no need to work Qiang'er to do anything more." This prince still has something to do, so ask someone to send you back first! β
Shen Qiang was paralyzed by her breath, but the prince said that he still had something to do, she tried her best to support her body, saluted him properly, and said to him softly, "Qiang'er knows that the prince cares about the world, but I hope the prince must take good care of himself!" β
Leng Liyan nodded, watching Shen Qiang disappear into the peach blossom forest step by step, his gaze instantly became gloomy, "Go back to the palace!" β
The peach blossom branches trembled, and the petals flew one after another......
Palace
As soon as Leng Liyan returned to the East Palace, he heard the report from his subordinates that the queen had come. He immediately changed his clothes and hurried to Fengqi Palace.
In Fengqi Palace, the woman was dressed in plain clothes and held Buddha beads in one hand, and the other hand was unhurriedly beating the wooden fish, muttering something in her mouth. Hearing the news that the prince was coming, she still didn't open her eyes, patiently read this paragraph and folded her hands, bowed piously in front of the statue of Guanyin, and then opened her eyes, put the Buddha beads in the tray that the maid next to her had been waiting for, and the Buddha beads knocked on the tray and made a dull sound.
At first glance, this woman looked like she was less than thirty years old, but when she said it, she was full of vicissitudes, "Let the prince come in, and you all go down!" β
"Yes." Everyone bowed their heads and retreated. Leng Liyan walked in quickly, and the moment he saw the woman in front of him, his eyes were full of hatred, but he quickly lowered his head and saluted. "The son visits the queen mother."
The queen glanced at her, turned her head again, and said casually: "If you don't want to worship the palace, you don't have to worship, such a hypocritical appearance is really annoying to the palace." β
Leng Liyan's eyes darkened, but he said more reverently: "The queen mother misunderstood, and the son didn't mean this." β
The queen ignored her, drank the tea in her hand, and after a while, she abandoned the tea and set her eyes on Leng Li. He still saluted as respectfully as before, but that didn't dampen the disgust in her eyes. If she was really born from a lowly palace maid, she can't be on the stage, don't think that she doesn't know how he hates himself in his heart! also blamed himself for being blind, and begged the emperor to accept this rag and raise it. She sighed in her heart, if Concubine Shu had entered the cold palace earlier, she could have brought King Leng to raise him, although he was not loved by the emperor, but he was always a hundred times stronger than this!
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, she slapped her hand on the table violently, and said loudly: "I heard that you have been getting closer to Prime Minister Shen Cheng's eldest lady recently?" "Earlier it was Shuli's father Shuming, although he resigned, but because of his long years in the official and his old qualifications, others couldn't go beyond him, so everyone called him Prime Minister Shu, and Shen Qingping was Prime Minister Shen.
Leng Liyan replied respectfully, "Yes, the queen mother." Shen Qiang is the daughter of Prime Minister Shen Cheng, and marrying her will definitely bring Prime Minister Shen over to come......"
"Smack-" The queen threw the teacup to the ground, and the porcelain shards shattered at his feet. "Stupid!"
"Queen Mother!" Leng Lixian lowered his head and his eyes were bloodshot. He was not the queen's own son, but was born to a lowly palace maid, who could not bear children and raised him under her knees. He also successfully became the crown prince because of the name of his eldest son. But even so, he won't miss this woman for half a point! When he was young, whenever he behaved badly with his father, she would beat and scold him very much, and even now, she showed no mercy, making him feel humiliated as a prince.
"Do you think that marrying Shen Qiang can win over Prime Minister Shen?"
"Isn't it? Since ancient times, which courtier did not rely on marrying a daughter to attach himself to the royal family! Shen Qiang is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, as long as I marry her, Prime Minister Shen's support is not a matter of course? Leng Liyan was also angry, and couldn't help but shout loudly.
When the queen heard that he was so disobedient to herself, she was so angry that she grabbed something and threw it at him, but found that there was nothing in her hand, and that the teacup had been broken by her. She gritted her teeth and pulled the phoenix hairpin out of her hair and threw it at him.
The cold detachment was easily avoided. From then on, he would never listen to this woman's foresight and backwards, and he would never endure this woman's scolding and scolding again. He arched his hand to her and said, "Since the queen mother has asked her father to close the palace and recite the Buddha, don't care about the foolish behavior of her sons!" The queen mother took care, and the sons retired. β
"You-bastard!" The queen clutched her chest, her face pale, she gasped for breath, her fingers trembling and pointed to the back of Leng Li's departure.
After a while, Jingyin pushed the door in, turned around and closed the door again. She served the tea in her hand. The queen stretched out her well-maintained hand and took it steadily, taking a sip. Where is the slightest bit of anger just now, I can't breathe!
"Niangniang is angry with the prince again?" Jing Yin took the tea from the queen's hand and put it on the table next to her, and stepped aside to stand aside. She is the queen's dowry maid, and she accompanied the queen from the East Palace all the way to this stormy harem, these words are naturally true.
The queen sneered, stood up, and walked to the vanity mirror and sat down. said to the beauty in the bronze mirror: "It's just a waste, and it's worthy of me to be angry with him!" β
Jing Yin's face was full of worry, "The prince is young and vigorous, it is inevitable that there will be something inappropriate, the mother should mention more!" β
"Heh, mention it, Jing Yin, you didn't see the way he looked at me, he wanted to kill me!" The queen sneered.
Jing Yin's complexion changed greatly, no! Although the prince is ruthless by nature, he was raised by his mother, so he will not ......
Seeing that Jingyin looked like she was facing a great enemy, the queen sneered, like a delicate young girl. "Look at you, here you go again."
"Niangniang......" Jingyin was so anxious that she stomped her feet, "Niangniang offended the general in her early years, and the general has cut off contact with you since then, and now she has attracted the prince's grudge, and the emperor ...... him"
The queen played with the golden hairpin's hand for a moment, and it returned to normal in an instant. She said softly: "Jingyin, do you think that I have failed in life, obviously I have a noble status, but I have offended all the noble people?" β
"Don't say that, mother!" Jing Yin lowered her head sadly.
"You think so!" She smiled nonchalantly, "Wait and see, this is my best ending!" β
"!" Jing Yin listened to her sad voice and thought that she couldn't think of anything stupid.
The queen stood up, and the nobility of her whole body made her extremely noble. "Don't worry! I won't do anything stupid, I'm still waiting to polish my eyes to see this prosperous world! β
Prosperous times? Jing Yin was puzzled, if it is four points today, although the southern country is temporarily ahead of the three countries, it cannot be called a prosperous era!
The queen did not give her a solution, but walked to the Buddha and knocked on the wooden fish and chanted the scriptures. Seeing her like this, Jing Yin silently retreated. The moment the door closed, she slowly opened her eyes and smiled brightly......
Besides, Leng Liyan returned to the prince's mansion and locked himself in the study. Annoyed, he brushed off everything on the table and sat down in his chair with his head covered. After a long time, he looked up, and his eyes were bloodshot scarlet.
"Someoneβ"
Shen Qiang looked at the man in black in front of her in horror, and just wanted to scream, but the man in black hurriedly identified himself.
"Prince?" Looking for her so late?
"Miss Shen doesn't have to question it, this is a token!" The man in black took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms, and Shen Qiang leaned over to see that it was the piece she gave to the prince! I already believed it in my heart, but I still asked reservedly: "Is there anything important for the prince to call Qiang'er?" It's getting late at this time, why don't I visit the palace tomorrow after my father? β
Impatience flashed in the eyes of the man in black, but he still tried his best to hide it, and he leaned into Shen Qiang's ear and said something. Shen Qiang's face turned red, and she nodded shyly. The man in black said that he was offended, so he picked her up and disappeared into the darkness.
In the study of the East Palace, the lights flickered, the intertwined bodies of the two were reflected in the doors and windows, and the moans of women and the low roars of men could be heard from time to time in the cracks of the windows......
The night was silent.
"Qiang'er, do you think your father will support us?" Leng Liyan was not so stupid, he would not directly ask Shen Qingping if he would support him, but used "we" to make Shen Qiang feel that she was very important to him.
But Shen Qiang misunderstood, will she support them, she is going to become the crown princess, why not support it? She wrapped around his body like a water snake and said coquettishly: "Naturally, I support it!" β
Hearing her say this, Leng Liyan extinguished the candlelight with a wicked smile and fell up......
In the dark, his eyes were as cold as a tomb cave, Queen Mother, you see, didn't I do it easily?!
