This news, like a thunder, exploded in Concubine Yue's ears.
"What did you say?" She looked at her son in disbelief.
Xiao Ran was still a little apprehensive at first, but as soon as the words were out, he let go, raised his head and said to the concubine in front of him, "Concubine Mu, Erchen likes to show his face, you used to think that Erchen was a child, Now that she's back in Beijing and standing in front of Erchen, Erchen is more able to clarify her mind, so please concubine mother to fulfill Erchen."
As soon as Xiao Ran said these words, Yutu, who was still senior in the palace, immediately dismissed the palace servants who were serving him, and ordered people to guard the gate and not let anyone in, as if he was facing a great enemy.
"Xiao Ran, did you eat the guts of a bear and a leopard, or were you blinded by fox? She is your eldest brother's fiancee, and the emperor himself ordered the marriage. Your father's own handwriting decreed the marriage. How can you say such absurd words? Where do you take your father and emperor, where do you take your grandfather? Where do you take your mother and concubine?"
Concubine Yue thought that the words she used to fool him back then would be forgotten over time, but she didn't want to, he actually remembered it now. Suddenly there is a cause that I planted back then, and now it bears fruit.
Xiao Ran said in disapproval, "Concubine, don't get excited, my son can see that Qingyan and the eldest brother are tied together because of this paper marriage contract, otherwise, with the age gap they only see, the two of them are the same. There is no emotion, and the father loves the son so much, as long as the son tells the father, it is not only the rescue of the beauty and the eldest brother, but also the wish of the son, isn't this the best of both worlds?"
"Snapped-"
"You still don't understand, and you still want to find your royal father?" After the words fell, Concubine Yue's slap fell.
With a burning pain on her face, Xiao Ran looked at her in disbelief, "Mother, you beat me? You actually beat me? You never beat me since you were a child?"
The son's words, coupled with his flushed face, made Concubine Yue's heart aches all of a sudden, hitting her son, but her heart.
But at this time, women can't be kind.
She had a stern face and looked at her with cold eyes. Although she had not yet reached the weak crown, she had already left her innocence and could take care of her own life. In the future, she spoke earnestly and earnestly.
"However, you may feel that the concubine doesn't understand you and prevents you from liking the girl, but the concubine must not stop you, because you are pushing yourself to a dead end."
The words of the mother-in-law successfully reduced half of his grievance and anger at this time, and his eyes stared at her blankly.
Concubine Yue didn't look at him, she folded her hands on her knees and looked into the distance.
"Although of all the princes, your father is the most doted on you, but no matter how much he dotes on a child, it is impossible for you to care about human affairs and win your brother's wife for you. We Xixuan pay attention to filial piety, courtesy and righteousness. You are like this. If so, how can it be worthy of your father's cultivation for so many years, where have all your books gone?"
"However, Queen Mother, Qingyan will not be happy with the eldest brother, and I really like her, why can't you fulfill us?" Xiao Ran couldn't hear a word at this time. Come, the mother-in-law is trying to stop herself.
"What's so good about that girl? If you want no family background, no background, no wealth, what do you think she can bring to you? When you get old, you will find that you want to It's not worth it for her to give up everything." Concubine Yue shook her head, feeling that her son was too careless.
Hearing the mother concubine say this about the little girl, Xiao Ran was a little unacceptable, "Although Qingyan doesn't have what the mother concubine said, but it is something outside the body, all these ministers can be given to her, she is kind, brave, smart and lovely, it's just a matter of course. , may be the reason why Erchen likes her."
"Everything the mother-in-law does is for your own good. I hope you will go back and think about it, and don't do things that harm your own interests."
Concubine Yue felt that she could not persuade her son for a while, and she might get angry with him, so she simply dismissed him, so as not to pierce her heart in front of her eyes.
Xiao Ran still wanted to say something, but seeing the unhappy expression on his mother's face, he still closed his mouth.
He covered his face and walked out of the Moon Palace. When he stopped and looked back, a determined look burst out on his face.
Pour his face, he will not give up.
After Xiao Ran left, Concubine Yue propped her forehead with one hand, the anger on her face was taken off, and the deep disappointment suddenly appeared.
Yutu on the side handed over the tea cup in time and comforted him, "Niangniang, don't be angry, Your Highness may have said these words to you on a whim. Normally, His Highness can listen to you and be filial to you."
This remark made Concubine Yue's anger rise again, but she was not angry with her own son, "I don't think he was impulsive, but he was fascinated by a ghost, and this palace thought that Chu Qingyan was just looking good, but he didn't want to be. Hu Meizi is one, her skills are really high, but Ran'er only had contact with her four years ago, so that Ran'er can never forget her for so many years."
"Ran'er was such an obedient child in the past. Now that she has only returned to Beijing for a day, she let Ran'er openly oppose Ben Gong like this. If it takes a long time, will it still be worth it?"
The more Yue Fei thought about it, the more angry she became, her teeth itch with hatred.
She didn't take Chu Qingyan in her eyes before, but now she hates it so much that it seems that this person cannot be kept and must find a chance to deal with it.
"The lady, what should we do?" Yutu said worriedly.
Hearing this, Concubine Yue suddenly laughed lightly, her eyes flashed, revealing a hint of smugness, "Ran'er is just young and vigorous, not deeply involved in the world, only Chu Qingyan can be seen in front of her eyes, if we arrange in front of him now A few beautiful girls who can understand the language of flowers, he will forget who Chu Qingyan is. Men, after all, it is difficult to focus on flowers. "
"So madam, what do you mean?"
Concubine Yue stretched out her hand and stroked the long hair on her chest, and said calmly, "The Minister of Rites has an only daughter who looks and is talented. Besides, her net worth is worthy of Xiao Ran. I heard from the sister-in-law in Bengong before. "The wife of the Minister of Rites intends to let her daughter marry Ran'er, and is entrusting someone to take care of it, isn't that just right?"
Jade Rabbit understood, "So the Empress wants her Highness to marry that young lady?"
"Let's match it up first, but, take it for granted that Concubine Erzheng's words aren't enough, she's just a side concubine at most, and she doesn't feel wronged." Concubine Yue chuckled, and it didn't matter at all.
This is the world where the weak eat the strong, and a girl's life can be determined with a single word from a superior.
"The lady said yes." Yutu complimented.
"Now you let the sister-in-law of this palace come to the palace, and this palace has something to explain."
"Yes."
"Also, let someone send some ice cubes to Ran'er, and let him apply it to his face to reduce the swelling." It was his son after all. Although he could do it, his heart ached.
"Yes."
