The two brothers and sisters stepped into the Xihe Palace, but found that there was no chaos here as they imagined.
Things are very tidy, and the servants perform their duties and appear to be in good order. If it weren't for the fear and resentment in the eyes of the servants when they looked at Qiu Yilan, which confirmed the impact after the decree was issued, Qiu Yilan would have thought that nothing had happened.
However, when he arrived at the main hall and saw Qiu Mengmin with a sinking face, Qiu Yilan's mood suddenly improved.
Qiu Mengmin bluntly asked Ruan Qingyan to stay away. After the door was closed, he didn't even have the time to say anything about the situation. He asked straight to the point: "Are you crazy! You actually incited Queen Jiang to destroy our Xihe Palace?!"
"What you said, how wise is the Empress? How can she listen to the advice of a child like me?" Qiu Yilan immediately laughed, "How can you believe such a rumor? If it spreads, people will think you are Already confused."
Qiu Mengmin gritted her teeth and said, "You were summoned to Beique Hall by the Queen, and the decree to dethrone me came just then... How dare you say that it has nothing to do with you?"
Qiu Yilan said lazily: "The Queen is very aware of everything and has a reason for deposing you. Do you think that the Queen is the kind of person who is completely confused and listens to slander?! This is disrespectful to the Queen, isn't it?"
Seeing her carrying out the queen repeatedly, Qiu Mengmin looked at her with great resentment for a moment, but suddenly smiled sadly: "But this time I really owe you a favor!"
He was ready to give Qiu Yilan a powerful reply to his subconscious question - but Qiu Yilan said generously: "In that case, then uncle casually rewards me with a few thousand taels of silver as lucky money?" To get some benefits, she not only wanted He called me uncle, and he said it very sweetly!
Qiu Mengmin choked. She really didn't expect that her niece, who turned thirteen today, would be so sharp-tongued and so shameless! After a moment of pause, he said cheerfully: "If you hadn't had such evil thoughts, how could we have shown favor to the Queen Mother?! Although the Queen is noble, the Queen Mother is more noble, senior, and higher!"
Originally, he was going to use this news to ridicule Qiu Yilan and severely damage her morale. However, Qiu Yilan climbed up and Qiu Mengmin lost her momentum no matter how she talked about it again. Instead, she showed a kind of anger. Fortunately weak...
As a result, Qiu Yilan still smiled and said: "Oh, that's really a loss for me! Otherwise, how can our palace be as good as the Queen Mother? It's too cold to reward me with a few thousand taels of silver. Uncle just throws it away." I’m just one of my own people, so you don’t need to be too polite!”
She knew very well: Queen Jiang wanted to use Qiu Mengmin's disrespect for her aunt to insinuate Queen Mother Gu, so Queen Mother Gu could not sit still and wait for death. If Empress Dowager Gu is so easy to deal with, why is it that the two empresses have been fighting for power for many years, and now it's a draw? When Empress Jiang asked people to pass on the decree, Qiu Yilan knew that this matter could not be solved with just one decree.
It's just the prelude to another fight between Darui's most distinguished mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!
Therefore, Queen Mother Gu would block Queen Jiang's edict of abolishing the title and banishing her for King Xihe. This was in Qiu Yilan's expectation. The only thing that surprised her was the Queen Mother's speed - she thought the Queen would send someone to announce the decree so neatly. When the Queen Mother heard the news and intervened, why would the Xihe Palace have to be raided by the government officials
However, what if Queen Mother Gu temporarily saved the Xihe Palace? Mrs. Lu was officially kicked out by Princess Xihe!
According to ancient etiquette, she can never enter the palace again in this life! Not to mention being supported by the current King Qiu Mengmin of Xihe in the palace and becoming Mrs. Lu!
As long as no one mentions this kind of thing, forget it; once it is revealed, it will involve big issues of right and wrong such as filial piety and concubine-the current Xihe Palace cannot even think of escaping unscathed!
So Qiu Yilan didn't care at all about Qiu Mengmin's sarcasm and intimidation - anyway, she had completely offended Queen Mother Gu yesterday at the Taishi Palace. What does it matter if she offended more or less
She is not Jiang Yashuang, and the queen has no obligation to protect her. Without the Queen's protection, the Queen Mother could kill her at any time! It's not just her. Don't talk about Zhou's mother and Su He, Ruan Qingyan will definitely be dragged into the water!
Qiu Yilan had already made up her mind when she said the words "My uncle's biological mother" to seize this opportunity to meet the Queen and show off in front of the Queen.
At this desperate moment, Qiu Yilan, who had already developed a hard-hearted heart in the apocalypse, would certainly not sympathize with any enemy.
She admired the look on Qiu Mengmin's face that she wanted to come down and kick herself to death. She smiled, spread her hands and said, "My servants say that during the Chinese New Year, I have to stay close to the Qiu family first. I thought he said that because of you." They are almost dead. Who wants to come back and see that everyone is in good condition? Well, I have to go back to the general's mansion to serve my poor grandfather!"
Having said this, she turned around and planned to walk out. After taking two steps, she stopped and turned back with a half-smile. "Uncle, you are so stingy. You called me back during the Chinese New Year and you didn't even get a penny reward." -You are not a person who does big things at all. Even with the Queen Mother's protection, I don't think you can survive the current crisis. In my opinion, you might as well just plead guilty and resign, so as not to go through all the trouble in the end. Good luck!”
The muscles on Qiu Mengmin's face twitched, she took a deep breath, and actually calmed down, saying: "You were only a few years old when the concubine passed away, and you don't remember her at all. I think your feelings for her are just that. What you did this time is just to regret that your family has treated you badly over the years. I can guarantee that this will never happen again! No matter what, our surname is Qiu, even if something happens to you. Princess, how can a lonely half-year-old girl live an easy life in the future? "
He added, "It is said that Ruan Qingyan outside the door is very kind to you, but you probably don't know that Ruan Qingyan has only been in Beijing for a few days, but he has already become the guest of two famous prostitutes in Beijing, and is the envy of countless frivolous prodigals!" Although you are not old enough to leave the court, no girl in our family can compare with you, so think about it for yourself about Ruan Qingyan’s kindness to you! "
Qiu Yilan smiled and said: "Even if I don't have the support of my cousin, I am from a husband's family anyway. What should I be afraid of? The worst I can do is defect to Deng Yi! This good marriage was decided by your uncle - oh, by the way. This time when I entered the palace and met the Crown Prince of Guangyang, the Crown Prince also thought I was very good-looking... He also asked me if I had any sisters with similar looks in my family. How could I not reciprocate my uncle's proposal to marry me? It looks much better than me. The prince is very happy and said that he will take a look in person in two days... Uncle, please remember me!"
Hearing these words, Qiu Mengmin almost wanted to vomit blood - he glared at Qiu Yilan, who smiled even more happily after being stared at by him: "Uncle, why are you so moved? Sixth sister is my sister, I respect her , That’s all right. However, if Liu Mei really serves Prince Guangyang in the future, you and Liu Mei must not forget me!”
If Qiu Jinzhu could be married to Gu Yan as his official wife, even if Gu Yan was a man of both sexes and was very lustful, to be honest Qiu Mengmin would not hesitate. That was the great-nephew of the Queen Mother Regent! Deeply loved by the Queen Mother!
Ke Guyan got married at the age of seventeen, and his wife, Tang, came from a well-known family and was one of the current prime ministers of Dali. Their eldest son is ten years old!
Even though there were countless beauties and prostitutes in Guyan's backyard, there were so many good friends in the Qin House and the Chu House outside, unknown foreign wives, concubines, widows, and unmarried daughters... he probably couldn't even remember them. But no one can doubt the stability of Tang's position.
And according to Qiu Yilan, Gu Yan wanted to see Qiu Jinzhu in private - given the prince's temperament, what would be the result of his private visit
Qiu Mengmin could no longer hold back her anger, slapping Chang An angrily and scolding loudly: "Jin Zhu is only ten years old, one month younger than Crown Prince Gu's eldest son, and you actually hurt her like this! How could we in the Qiu family have you like this? Vicious and shameless thing!”
"When my uncle assigned me to Deng Yi, I was only ten years old!" Qiu Yilan's eyes were full of innocence. "There is an elder like my uncle who is so vicious and shameless, and even beats me up. Is it strange that I can imitate him?"
"You!!!" Qiu Mengmin was furious, picked up a sweet white glazed pink peach dewy bottle at hand and threw it at her head!
Qiu Yilan's face darkened, and she was about to teach him a lesson. Unexpectedly, there was a crisp sound from the window lattice behind her, and something suddenly crashed in, knocking the vase down ten feet in front of Qiu Yilan!
As the red sandalwood window lattice was completely shattered, Ruan Qingyan rushed in like a gust of wind - regardless of the palace servants behind him who were noisily calling for someone, he took a look at Qiu Yilan and didn't get hit, and strode up to return it. Before she could react, Qiu Mengmin grabbed her chest!
Then, he punched Qiu Mengmin hard in the face!
The fist fell, blood and tears flew, and Qiu Mengmin howled in pain!
"Cousin, you can't do this!" When Qiu Yilan saw this situation, she secretly screamed, "It's broken." She hurriedly ran up with the train of her skirt, grabbed Ruan Qingyan's sleeve and said urgently, "The Queen's intention to seize his title has been destroyed." The Queen Mother stopped her, and now he is still the King of Xihe! If the Queen Mother knows that you beat him, what will happen to Chun Wei?"
Ruan Qingyan said coldly: "Let's talk about it after spring!" After saying that, he punched Zhongqiu Mengmin's left cheek again, and Qiu Mengmin spit out two teeth immediately!
"Chun... Chunwei?! Don't even think about it..." Qiu Mengmin completely lost the majesty and demeanor of the King of Xihe at this moment. His whole face was bruised and bruised. Tears flowed down his face and blood splattered. The pain and shame made his whole face pale. It’s so twisted! He smiled sadly, his eyes filled with hatred!
Qiu Yilan had already rolled up her sleeves. At this time, she pushed Ruan Qingyan hard and shouted: "It's not that you can't beat me, it's just that you didn't beat me correctly! Look at me!" After saying this, he took Qiu Mengmin out of Ruan Qingyan's hand. Grab it - the next moment, Ruan Qingyan, who was filled with pity for his sister and hatred for Qiu Mengmin, was stunned to see Qiu Yilan grabbing the hair on Qiu Mengmin's head, and without blinking, he looked to the side for a long time. The corner of the two-inch thick iron pear wood table was knocked off!
Once, twice... Blood splattered on Qiu Yilan's clothes, but her expression remained calm and her hands were as steady as if she was just cracking walnuts. Even Ruan Qingyan, watching this scene from the side, felt a chill rising in his heart!
After a while, he heard a large number of chaotic footsteps approaching, and Qiu Yilan threw the unconscious Qiu Mengmin under the table. He took two steps back, knelt down, and cried loudly: "Uncle, why are you so hard to think about-"
Outside the door, Mrs. Lu, Princess Yang, Qiu Yuqing and others who came in a hurry heard the grief-stricken cries, and they all felt dizzy!
Mrs. Lu's legs went weak and she almost fainted!
Fortunately, at this time, Ruan Qingyan said nonchalantly at the door: "Cousin... sister, he... he doesn't seem to be dead yet?"
"Of course I can't die!" Qiu Yilan sobbed. A cold light flashed in the eyes of Mrs. Lu and others at the same time. She was slowing down and planned to grab a few more excuses to deal with the cousins - but Qiu Yilan continued When they came down, they almost became angry to death, "I still have to leave it to the Queen to investigate him for disrespecting my aunt! How can we let him go on the road so happily? To untie the bell, you have to tie the bell. He invited Lu back. Of course he has to send it out!"
