Chapter 585: Soldiers are falling

Chapter 585: Soldiers are falling
When the mammy returned to the palace, she saw that behind the thick purple curtains one after another, the queen leaned on the soft pillow and looked at the danko she had just applied, calmly and lazily.When he saw grandma coming in, he looked over lazily and said, "Leaving?"

Mammy responded in a low voice and added, "It seems quite...very urgent. Why is the queen not here?"

Mammy is the queen's wet nurse, and the old slave who came to the palace with her as a bride is also the queen's confidant, so there is nothing she cannot ask.The Queen looked at the little palace maid who was kneeling at her feet, Tu Dankou, and waved her hands to make people leave. Then she lazily sat up, hugged the thin blanket and chuckled, "She is here at this time, probably for her marriage to the Chen family. The commotion in the post house not only ruined the Chen family's face, but also her You Lingxi's... You Feng is a stubborn person, the eldest princess is a face-saving person, and You Lingxi wants to break off the engagement. I can’t exert my energy.”

Grandma frowned and felt a little unhappy. The little princess seemed to be a warm-hearted person before, why is she so ignorant?She complained, "Princess Lingxi, don't you want to embarrass you? The marriage between the You family and the Chen family is a marriage granted by His Majesty's imperial decree. How can it be changed just because of your Majesty's words? If this is really the case, your Majesty's marriage will be changed." Are you still going to be impeached by those ministers in the court who are afraid of chaos in the world?"

As he spoke, he still seemed to be upset and murmured, "This princess is not young at all, so why is she still so ignorant? Why did you like her so much before..."

After the queen looked at the bright red Dankou, she put on the armor covers in the glass tray one by one. She lowered her eyebrows and smiled carelessly, "Like it? She's not a very smart girl, but she looks pretty good. A face with a sweeter mouth would usually be pleasant. Mrs. Ning likes her, and I don’t mind being kind to her... But I didn’t expect that this little girl is better than I imagined. Otherwise, if you are not smart and have a good hand of cards, you will be ruined. She came to me without going to Mrs. Ning first. This shows that the relationship between the Ning family and her is already awkward, and my 'kindness' is meaningless. .”

"What's more, according to your majesty's imperial edict of marriage, she will marry to Jiangnan and become the young lady of the Chen family. Both your majesty and the East Palace want to make friends with the Chen family. If I really want to get involved with her at this time...she It is unclear whether You Lingxi will take this kindness to heart, but His Majesty has become more and more suspicious in recent years, and I obviously cannot please His Majesty. This thankless thing... haha."

Everyone in the world is pursuing profit, and this unprofitable thing... Do you really think that there will be people in this world who will do chivalrous acts regardless of reward or even sacrifice themselves for others?No.

Mammy bent down and complimented, "Your Majesty, you are wise. This little princess is really a little naive. No wonder she lost to Ji Wuyan. What happened in the post house this time was because of Ji Wuyan. Young Master Chen was locked in the house for a whole day." In three days, she was drugged, ate, drank and defecated... The little girl was cruel, but her methods were despicable. Who among us girls from a good family in the city would use such a method to kill people... I heard that Mr. Ning was also there .”

despicable?Mi Tai?After the queen put on the armor, she held her chin and lowered her eyebrows without saying a word. She just waved her hand and let people get off.

Despicable?Quite despicable.Mi Tai?It’s also pretty cool.The young master of the Chen family has a notorious reputation. Such liveliness is unheard of and unseen in the city of Yanjing. It is likely that the people will still talk about such farce for a long time in the future.

But he is also extremely smart.If we use other methods, there is no blood and the anger cannot be released. If there is blood, Donggong, who originally wanted to make friends with the Chen family, will definitely take action. The government cannot ignore it, even if Ning Xiuyuan is behind him to protect him. , but will also end up with a reputation of bullying others.This is the only way, whether it is the government, the East Palace, or the Chen family, they all just want to put an end to the matter as soon as possible, and it is best to eliminate everyone's memories.

Too smart... also unpleasant.The queen rested her chin, frowned slightly, and thought to herself.

……

You Lingxi didn't even know how she said goodbye to her mother.The other party's eyes were gentle but transparent, and he probably knew his purpose clearly.Even though she didn't say anything, it still made her feel ashamed - she overestimated her status with the Queen and visited her rashly, only to be turned away by a servant in a tactful yet straightforward manner.Followed by the accompanying palace maid, the little girl who had been chirping so lively when she came here now shrank her neck and remained speechless, like a quail being pinched by the throat.

You Lingxi waved his hand and asked people to leave. The little palace maid was still hesitant, so she said that she wanted to sit in the imperial garden. The roads here were familiar and there was no need to accompany her.The little palace maid agreed.

In the imperial garden, there was no one around, and chrysanthemums of all colors were in full bloom.She sat by the lake and blew in the wind blowing from the artificial lake. Her mind was still a little unclear.She thought...she was in a hurry and sought medical treatment.

Chen Jiahui's affairs were widely circulated outside. As the news was added over and over again, the sounds and smells of that night became more and more indelible.All she could think about was "break off the engagement". Her father's side was blocked, her mother's side didn't dare to go, Ningguo Duke's Mansion... wanted to save face, so she didn't want to go.I thought about it all night and decided.

She lowered her head and smiled foolishly, but a cautious probing came from behind her, "The one by the lake... is Princess Lingxi?" The voice was cautious.

You Lingxi turned around and looked at her. She was a little palace maid, very unfamiliar.

The little palace maid smiled suddenly, showing two small tiger teeth, very cheerfully, "Looking at the back of the princess from a distance... I have seen the princess. My wife asked me to ask the princess, I don't know the princess. Now that you have some free time, why don’t you go sit with my mother-in-law?”

You Lingxi was slightly startled. The palace maid was surprised. She didn't know who the empress she was talking about was, so she asked, "Who is your empress...?"

"My dear concubine," the little palace maid replied with a proud look on her face, slightly raising her chin and smiling.When she smiled, there was a sweetness that was ignorant of the world, which was completely different from the just-right gentleness and disinterested alienation on the face of grandma just now.

Nothing happened, and the smile was really endearing. You Lingxi nodded, stood up and patted the hem of her skirt.The little palace maid had excellent eyesight. She took a few steps forward to help You Lingxi tidy up her dress. She also told her, "Princess, be careful of the pebbles." , "This servant is new to the palace. I have only seen the princess in the painting before. Today is the first time I see the real person. The princess is really much more beautiful than the painting!"

Who doesn’t like to hear nice words?You Lingxi felt that whether compared with the nanny just now or the quail whose throat was strangled, the little palace maid at this moment was particularly lovable.
