General's Mansion Hall
The main hall is grandly decorated, with a thick inlaid gold carpet on the floor. There are four seats in two rows. There are two seats on the left and right below the main seat. Each chair and tea table are made of expensive and rare materials. Made of dark brocade wood, it looks elegant, luxurious and noble. Only a big family like the General's Mansion would use it to make furniture in a luxurious way.
At this time, there were many people in the main hall, and there were many young maids standing neatly in the two rows of seats. When they saw Zhongli Yanqing and Zhongli Yishuang, they immediately lowered their waists and saluted, and said in unison, "Greetings to the eldest lady, second lady ”
Zhong Li Yanqing waved to the maids casually and calmly.
Zhongli Yishuang on the side obviously didn't take these little characters seriously. She stepped over Zhongli Yanqing, stepped forward with a cute smile, and saluted the elegant old lady in golden clothes at the main seat. , said softly, "I would like to express my regards to the Queen Mother, and to my father."
Zhongli Yanqing raised her eyebrows and glanced at Zhongli Yishuang slightly amusedly.
With such a docile and gentle look, how could he still look arrogant and domineering just now
The Queen Mother's face was soft, and she stared at Zhongli Yishuang with a smile on her face. She slightly raised her lips and said, "Shuang'er, there's no need to be polite, just sit down."
A trace of joy immediately appeared on Zhong Li Yishuang's face. She thanked her hurriedly, turned around and walked to the first position on the left. As she walked, she turned her head, raised her chin, and gave Zhong Li Yanqing a proud look.
Zhongli Yanqing pretended not to notice Zhongli Yishuang's childish demonstration, and calmly looked away, slowly looking around the hall.
Today, not only the Queen Mother arrived, but also the Crown Prince Xia Houchun. He was dressed in a yellow brocade robe, his deep and cold eyes were dark, and he was sitting on the lower right side of the throne with a cold face. His eyebrows were lightly furrowed and his face was slightly impatient. , his whole body exuded a cold and harsh aura that kept strangers away, but when his cold eyes came into contact with Zhong Li Yanqing, a trace of softness suddenly flashed strangely, so fast that it was unpredictable, as if that It's just an illusion.
His eyes moved slightly downwards, and Zhong Liyanqing's calm expression suddenly met Zhongli Yunran's gloomy and uncertain expression. The black eyes glared at Zhongli Yanqing as fiercely as if they were suddenly on fire, but it was only for a moment. He quickly moved away, lowering his head to drink tea gracefully, hiding the unspeakable hatred in his heart.
She had to endure it, now was not the time.
Hey, Zhong Liyanqing said she was very innocent. What kind of luck was she that she was noticed by two vicious women as soon as she arrived at the General's Mansion.
Zhongli Tianyu was sitting at the lower left corner of the main seat, that is, sitting in the lower left corner of the Queen Mother. He was dressed in a dark brocade robe, and his handsome features were stained with a smile. It was even worse when he saw Zhongli Yanqing. He stretched out his arms. He waved to Zhongli Yanqing with his arms and said with a smile, "Yanqing, why don't you salute the Queen Mother quickly?"
Zhong Li Yanqing took a few steps forward, walked to the seat of honor, looked directly upward, and said with neither humility nor arrogance, she knelt down and said, "My maid pays homage to the Queen Mother!"
"Get up." The Queen Mother said, looking at her carefully.
She is really a beautiful girl. A flash of surprise quickly flashed in the Queen Mother's clear eyes. She has lived for most of her life and has seen countless beauties, but she has never seen such a smart and quiet beauty. Every part of her body exudes indifference and coldness. The temperament is something that cannot be ignored.
Let’s not talk about appearance, just talk about aura. This girl is really courageous. After all, she is also the queen mother of a country. Years of experience have trained her to have a pair of sharp eyes. Ordinary little girls will never dare to look directly at her. But this girl looked directly at her so bravely, her eyes as dark as ink, with an air of indifference.
The Queen Mother's favorable impression of Zhong Li Yanqing suddenly increased by several levels, and her eyes became softer.
This girl, with her astonishing talent at such a young age, will definitely create a glorious future in the Heroic Continent, and she has a hunch that this girl is definitely not a creature in the pool!
"You are General Zhongli's daughter who disappeared that year, right?" The Queen Mother stared at her and smiled with relief, "General Zhongli has already explained it clearly to the Ai family."
The implication of the Queen Mother's words could not be clearer. It meant that she would not pursue any charges of deception. More importantly, the Queen Mother's reaction directly recognized Zhongli Yanqing's identity as her legitimate daughter.
This realization made Zhongli Yunran and Zhongli Yishuang, who were ready to see Zhongli Yanqing deflated, shocked at the same time. Then their faces turned pale and their eyes widened in disbelief.
Did the Queen Mother let Zhong Li Yanqing go so easily
This is unscientific!
Zhongli Yunran and Zhongli Yishuang looked at the Queen Mother with pale faces, and were so angry that they almost vomited blood. Is the Queen Mother with a kind smile really the same stubborn old man as before
The severely irritated expressions of Zhongli Yunran and Zhongli Yishuang fell into Zhongli Yanqing's eyes. Instantly, she felt her mood lightened up, her lips could not help but curl up slightly, and her beautiful eyes were habitually half-squinted, with a slight glitch in their eyes. The evil spirit is revealed, looking like a fox, charming and seductive.
Xia Houchun, who had been watching Zhong Li Yanqing, was stunned by Zhong Li Yanqing's charming smile. When he realized what he was doing, he felt slightly annoyed and a little embarrassed at the same time.
What to do, he seems to have fallen into it.
The shrewd and cunning Queen Mother saw her grandson's reaction completely, and she was overjoyed. One day, her Chun'er finally had feelings for a woman, and she was no longer cold. It seemed that Zhong Liyan had returned. It really shouldn’t be underestimated.
The Queen Mother narrowed her phoenix eyes, smiled softly, and spoke slowly, "Since you are the legitimate daughter, then Chun'er should marry you. The Aijia will ask the emperor to issue another imperial edict later, General Zhongli "What do you think?" The Queen Mother cast her solicitous gaze on Zhongli Tianyu's face.
As soon as the Queen Mother said these words, Zhongli Yunran's body suddenly froze, leaving aside the others! His face felt like it had been whipped by a whip, and it was terrifyingly gloomy, as if a storm was coming.
She was stunned on the spot, holding her trembling hands tightly. She never thought that the Queen Mother would let Zhong Li Yanqing marry His Highness the Crown Prince on her behalf!
Isn't this a slap in the face
Zhong Li Yunran's originally clear eyes were now filled with bloodthirsty jealousy, and with a murderous intent, he glared at Zhong Li Yanqing viciously, wishing to cut her into pieces with a thousand knives.
Sensing a very hostile gaze, she knew who it was without even thinking about it. Zhong Li Yanqing turned her head and faced Zhong Li Yunran's fierce eyes without showing any weakness. The corners of her mouth formed a cold arc, as ethereal as fireworks. Gorgeous.
Zhongli Yishuang looked as if she had been struck by lightning. Everything that happened now was too far from her expectation. She stared straight at Zhongli Yanqing, unable to recover for a long time.
Looking at Xia Houchun again, although his face looked indifferent and indifferent, his heart had obviously exploded with thunderbolts.
An unprecedented joy enveloped him, but at the same time he was also a little worried.
You know, he has not yet figured out the relationship between His Royal Highness the Emperor and Zhong Li Yanqing.
However, even though he hesitated in his heart, he was still reluctant to give up any chance of having her.
Maybe she will fall in love with him? At that time, no matter how angry His Highness the Emperor is, there will be nothing he can do! Xia Houchun thought that he was lucky, and all the worries in his heart receded.
Zhongli Tianyu regretted not being able to marry His Highness the Crown Prince, but he did not expect that the Queen Mother would take the initiative to propose it. He immediately nodded in agreement, completely ignoring Zhongli Yanqing's opinion. He laughed and said, "This can't be better."
Zhong Liyan's heart was shocked, and a flash of disgust flashed in her eyes. She didn't expect Zhong Li Tianyu to be so selfish. She thought he was so upright, and he was just a man who wanted power and wealth.
Zhong Liyanqing sneered again and again. How could he be able to control all major events in her life
But looking at the current situation, she couldn't refuse directly. In this case, she could only say, "Queen Mother, I have something to say!"
The Queen Mother turned her head, met her face with her eyes, and said with a smile, "Why, you are not satisfied with the Ai family's decision?"
There was a hint of threat in the words. Although it was a question, there was a tone that could not be refused.
Zhong Liyanqing secretly rolled her eyes and was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke with a firm tone, "The Queen Mother, can you give me and Your Highness the Crown Prince three months to get along first?"
After much thought, she decided to use delaying tactics. Three months was enough for her to finish everything and fly away. At that time, she would let His Highness Prince Nalaushi marry a ghost.
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, then smiled slowly, and nodded in agreement, "Okay, if the Ai family agrees, I will give you and Chun'er three months to get along, and after three months, the wedding ceremony will be held!"
Zhongli Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't expect the Queen Mother to be so easy to talk to, "Thank you, Queen Mother."
Zhongli Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhongli Yunran also breathed a sigh of relief.
Three months? The corners of Zhongli Yunran's mouth slowly rose with a sinister arc!
Zhongli Yanqing, since you are eager to seek death, don't blame me!
Three months later, I wonder how you have the fate to marry His Highness the Crown Prince!
You are dreaming!
What I, Zhongli Yunran, can’t get, you can’t even imagine!
