Fenghua husband and splendid wife

Chapter 430 The Queen's Probe! (1)
"Since Concubine Mei is dead, it's impossible for the Mei family to let her die in vain, right?" Qian Xia blinked lightly, thinking of Mei Yuanyao's cunning, who can even do things like heart-eating Gu. If he can do it, what else can't he do?

Anyway, Concubine Mei is also a dead person, how to let this dead person strive for the greatest benefit for her family and the second prince, is this what Mei Yuanyao is concerned about?

"You're right. Now the palace is in chaos. Everyone is dead. It just so happens that even the people in the imperial dining room committed suicide. What kind of honorable person should he be?"

Qian Xia's eyes flashed, "It's a good move to set the blame! Without a single witness, it is far more suspicious than having a few witnesses, and it is easier to convince the emperor's heart. "

"So, everyone in the capital should not be underestimated! What's more, a person like Mei Yuanyao? To be able to climb to the position of the right minister, do you really think that he only relies on the nepotism of Concubine Mei?"

Qian Xia made a gesture of disapproval, and shook her head, "The infighting in the capital is really eye-opening!"

"Hehe, don't think about it. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. When the Lantern Festival comes, I'm afraid the emperor will bring up the old story again. Naturally, I have my own way to push it away. You just need to choose to believe in me. Also, This time, your physical injury is too serious, our marriage must be brought forward."

In a blink of an eye, New Year's Eve has passed, and the Shangyuan Festival is approaching.

Qian Xia obediently used the excuse of physical discomfort, and never took a step out of the house.Even with her mother, she never went to pay New Year's greetings.

After Sanchi and the maids laughed and quarreled outside, they looked at the young lady who was basking in the sun on the porch, holding a book in her hand, reading with relish, and said with a smile, "Miss, it's the time of the New Year's Eve." , it’s time for us to have fun, why do you always hold the book and chew? Be careful not to damage your eyes.”

Qian Xia likes reading, which is well known in Yunfu.

"You just have to play. I'm here to listen to you talking, and I'm also a little bit happy with you."

"Miss, this is wrong. It is right for us to be happy with Miss. I have heard from my uncle and madam that you will start preparing for your big wedding after the Lantern Festival. Miss, tell me, will it be This month, let the two of you get married?"

Qian Xia blushed slightly, and glared at her, "I think you've been too free recently, but you want to let Nanny Yu teach you well, what are the rules?"

"My servant dare not. You should spare this servant. Just seeing Yumao's cold face, this servant's heart trembles a little bit."

Her words drew laughter from the other maids.Qian Xia was also amused by her exaggerated appearance.

"Miss, it will be the Lantern Festival tomorrow, but the servant girl heard that the eldest son is not going to take the young lady outside to watch the fun, but instead asked the uncle to never let you leave the house. I don't know that the eldest son What do you think, it's a big Chinese New Year, don't let the young lady have a good time!"

After hearing this, Qian Xia's eyes darkened. She naturally understood Mu Liunian's thoughts. The closer their marriage was, the more worried he was.But the emperor did not move for a long time, so Mu Liunian felt a deep uneasiness on the contrary.

In fact, Qianxia herself was a little uneasy, always feeling that something was about to happen, but after calculation, there was no result.

The art of divination is like this, you can't calculate it every time you want to know, otherwise, wouldn't you really become a living god?
"Miss, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, please tell the servants some interesting things about the Lantern Festival."

"That's right, miss, you read a lot of books, tell your servants, what is the origin of this Lantern Festival?"

Seeing a few girls looking very excited, Qian Xia couldn't bear to dampen their interest, she smiled lightly, straightened her body, and Sanqi on the side had already served a cup of hot tea to her, which was obviously a little too much flattering means.

"This Shangyuan Festival, also known as the Lantern Festival, do you know why?"

Sanqi and the others shook their heads, their eyes widened and their ears pricked up, waiting to hear their young lady tell a story.

"It is said that when an emperor was on the throne, one winter day he and one of his favorite ministers went to the imperial garden to enjoy the plum blossoms, and met a court lady who wanted to throw herself into a well. Her name was Yuan Xiao, and she missed her relatives for a long time after entering the palace, so she had the idea of ​​committing suicide. After hearing this, the minister felt sympathetic and agreed to help."

"It's not easy? Just ask the emperor directly? Miss, didn't you just say that he is the emperor's favorite minister?" Sanqi said a little bored.

Qian Xia shook her head and continued, "This minister set up a divination stall, and everyone who asked for divination turned out to be burned by fire on the sixteenth day of the first month. Suddenly, the whole capital panicked. So, the emperor asked this person for advice. He said that the capital is in Jie, fire burns the emperor's que, fifteen days of fire, flame red supper. That is to say, on the fifteenth night of the first lunar month, every family hangs lanterns to eat Lantern Festival, and people outside the city go to the city to watch the lanterns, as if the city is full of fire, in order to deceive the Jade Emperor. That night, Yuanxiao's parents went to the city to watch the lanterns. With the help of the minister, the family was finally reunited."

"Oh, that's how it is. Miss, this servant understands now. If he just begged the emperor at that time, I'm afraid that only the Yuanxiao girl could be reunited with her family. But after he made such a fuss, many people could I saw my relatives."

"That's right! This is his cleverness, and it's also because he cares about the people."

"Miss is indeed very knowledgeable, and even knows this! This servant admires me."

Qian Xia shook her head, "It's nothing, it's fine, I'm not feeling well, so I won't go out. If any of you are willing to go out for fun, just prepare yourself. Also, go and ask my aunt if she will go out tonight ?”

"Yes, ma'am."

A quarter of an hour later, Sanqi came back with a happy face, "Miss, I just got some news from this servant."

Seeing Sanqi's mysterious appearance, Qian Xia was really interested, "Tell me, what is really a good thing?"

"Miss, this servant just saw that my uncle sent someone to invite an official matchmaker. After careful questioning, this servant is proposing to the Second Young Master."

Qian Xia raised her eyebrows, "But sister Wanting from the Liu family?"

Sanqi was taken aback, "Miss, do you want to be so smart? How did you guess it?"

Qian Xia didn't answer, but thought of Yun Chang'an, he is the eldest son, logically speaking, he should be the first to propose marriage to him, why did the aunt propose to the second brother first?And I guessed it right just now, could it be that the second brother went to beg his aunt himself?
