"Okay, then let King You and Princess You accompany them to the snow mountain to look for snow ginseng. They are newly married, and King You doesn't care about government affairs, so it's a pleasant thing to go to the mountains." The emperor has always been filial Queen Mother, this is known to all the world. If someone can heal the Empress Dowager, the emperor will definitely spare no efforts in the country.
Both Linghu Shuiyue and You Wang Zhu Youhong glanced at the queen inadvertently, and couldn't figure out what the queen's intention was to let them go on this errand.
Transfer them away from Yanjing? After all, the war is over and they just got married. Was the purpose of this empress's proposal just to make them feel better
Serving the Empress Dowager, who would dare to refuse? Ninth master Zhu Youhong was most protected by the queen mother since he was a child, and he also has the deepest affection for the queen mother, let alone shirk this errand. It is conceivable that Linghu Qianjin and Zhu Youhong would never have an excuse other than kneeling down to accept orders.
The queen smiled strangely, and there was a glimmer of some kind of trickery in her eyes. Although it's not easy to notice, Linghu Shuiyue has been observing the queen. When she got up on her knees, she happened to see the queen's sly smile! The key point is that Linghu Shuiyue has been observing a person.
This person is the eunuch who has been standing beside the queen—Zhang Renhe, Eunuch Zhang.
It was heard that this person was the most admired by the queen, he was a celebrity around the queen, and also the chief eunuch by the queen's side.
Linghu Shuiyue has been observing him carefully. He is about twenty-five years old, wearing the clothes of a chief eunuch, tall and handsome, his facial features look very noble and stylish, he is a handsome man that women prefer.
His expression has always been that of a eunuch father-in-law. Standing beside the queen, although he is handsome and beautiful, there is no difference between him and other eunuchs, as if he is very peaceful and disciplined. However, the careful Linghu Shuiyue always felt that if this person changed his attire, such as wearing a prince's python robe, he must be extremely imposing.
Just when the queen was smiling like a flower, her son Zhu Youbin, the fourteenth master, came out and asked: "Father, I also want to do my part for the queen mother, and I beg my father to allow my son and ninth brother to set off together to find Xue." Participate! One more person, one more opportunity."
The queen wanted to stop her son, but the emperor readily agreed with a wave of his hand: "It's rare to have filial piety, good! Then let's go together!"
The queen was furious! Her son just can't wink! On the way back and forth to the snow mountain, how many chances are there to get rid of that thorn in Zhu Youhong's side? If Fourteen followed, he wouldn't help, and for the queen, it would become a stumbling block.
With such a promise from the emperor, the queen couldn't speak anymore, so she could only be anxious.
At this time, the queen mother really calmed down, and temporarily recovered her peace and said: "It's really miraculous that Ai's family has taken this medicine from Mr. Linghu! It's no longer out of breath. Our country of Yan actually has such a genius doctor as Mr. Linghu." , let him go to Yue Kingdom to get married, the Ai family thinks our Yan Kingdom has lost a lot this time!"
The emperor was speechless, and it was hard to say anything. Young Master Linghu and his relatives are already married, so who dares to say more? Last night, the bridal chamber was already festivities, and it's meaningless to say a word about raw rice and cooked rice, right
Seeing a pair of beautiful men sitting next to each other, even though Duanmu was injured, the people in the hall still had all kinds of wonderful ideas about them, and they directly made up their minds about the wedding night in their bridal chamber.
In the end, the Empress Dowager gave Linghu Shuiyue a wooden box, ending today's post-marriage procedure of holding tea to pay respects.
After the crowd dispersed, the Queen Mother waved her hand lightly and asked everyone to go out. When only the Seventh Princess was left, she said to the Seventh Princess: "Seventh Girl, what do you think?"
The Seventh Princess pinched her shoulders for the Queen Mother, and she really couldn't respond to the Queen Mother's question and asked, "What does the Queen Mother want Wei'er to see?" The Queen Mother likes smart people very much, but when she is too smart, the Queen Mother will be scrupulous.
"Of course it's Young Marshal Linghu, Young Master Linghu and the Crown Prince Duanmu Canglan of Yue Kingdom." The Empress Dowager's eyes were sharp and she asked sharp questions. Although the queen mother is getting old, she is still a woman and an old fox. But as long as she is a woman, even if she is the queen mother, she will inevitably have a gossip personality.
"Lafayette, do you suspect that they are not broken sleeves? But, they have all paid homage, and they are considered married. Last night, they all had weddings in their bridal chambers. Is there any time left?" Seventh Princess said, "Pfft Chi" he laughed, but actually felt a little depressed in his heart. Where does this depression come from? The girl Seventh Princess is still unclear for the time being.
The Empress Dowager said: "Ai's family is not old and dim-sighted yet. The emperor wants to save trouble, and only considers that the peace treaty of this allied country can be signed. General Linghu's loyalty to the emperor and the country is clear! If Mr. Linghu is forced, we The Zhu family is too sorry for General Linghu! For a talent like Mr. Linghu, the emperor is willing to marry him to Yue, but the Ai family is a bit reluctant."
The Seventh Princess smiled and said: "Lafayette, from Weier's point of view, they don't seem to be forced. Maybe it's because they are kind and loving, and the emperor just doesn't want to break up a pair of mandarin ducks. Weier heard , Young Marshal Linghu was captured, and Prince Duanmu took good care of him, so maybe they already had emotions, and there was some love for each other."
The Empress Dowager said seriously: "The Ai family also thought about it. But Prince Duanmu's behavior is a bit outrageous! After he came in, he looked at the young commander Linghu from time to time, but the daughter of the Ninth Princess Linghu."
The Seventh Princess didn't dare to laugh anymore, and said with surprise on her pretty face: "Queen Mother, you were coughing and panting like that just now, did you still see this kind of trickery? You have to show your true colors! Wei'er won't accept anyone, but Queen Mother Lafayette."
"Seventh girl, so you saw it?"
"Lafayette, my heart is still on Lafayette, so I didn't look carefully. But Linghu Daughter and Young Master Linghu look exactly the same, so Wei Er took a second look." Although Lafayette loves the seventh princess very much, But when the seventh princess seized the opportunity, she still showed her intentions for Lafayette more.
"Weier, your heart is on Aijia. This Aijia knows better than anyone else. But, there are too many people in this world who don't want Aijia to live forever." Lafayette likes the seventh princess, of course It's because the seven princesses really did their best to Lafayette.
"Lafayette, who dares to think so, Wei Er will be the first to let him be hacked to pieces!" The seventh princess' mother and concubine died early, and the reason why she is so windy and rainy in the palace is all due to What's more, the Queen Mother's grace has been added.
"Yeah. So, Wei'er, can you take this trip for Ai's family?"
The Seventh Princess immediately knelt in front of the Queen Mother, cupped her hands and said, "Please order from the Queen Mother! Wei'er is willing to be driven by the Queen Mother, and she will do her best! Do what the Queen Mother wants to do for the Queen Mother."
"The Ai family wants you to take Qu Xuan and Qu Yin to follow Young Commander Linghu! Whether you follow him openly or secretly is up to you. What the Ai family wants is that Mr. Linghu can bring Xueshen back safely See Aijia."
"Yes! Wei'er follows the Queen Mother's will and will swear to protect Young Master Linghu and Xueshen to the death!"
In the queen's bedroom.
Empress Lu sat down, and Eunuch Zhang pinched her shoulders skillfully, neither light nor heavy, obviously making Empress Lu very comfortable. Empress Lu closed her eyes for a while, but Eunuch Zhang pinched them while lowering his head in thought with a deep expression.
After a while, Empress Lu opened her eyes, and said in annoyance: "When will I stop worrying about that child, Fourteen? He will only make people worry a lot by following him to the snow-capped mountains."
