Chapter 78 (1/2)
Li Xiang subconsciously hid his hand in his sleeve and held it tighter.
When she just came in, she didn't see anyone else. All of them appeared under her eyes. It's not hard to guess it's a trap. She clenched her teeth and looked at the Wei Luo beside Zhao Liuli. She saw her hands behind her, her lips bent up like a smile, and her eyes were taunting, as if laughing at her stupidity.
She shouldn't have come back Even if there are more doubts in my heart, I shouldn't come back!
At this time, it's too late to think about this. Yunzi, the palace maid behind Zhao Liuli, holds the red sandalwood gilded plum pattern box in front of empress Chen and mutters: ”Niang, the princess's hairpin is missing a butterfly...”
Empress Chen drooped her eyes and saw what was going on inside.
Empress Chen was talking to Gao Danyang in Zhaoyang hall. Zhao Liuli suddenly said that she was not satisfied with the small details of the golden butterfly hairpin, so she had to come and have a look. She had no choice but to come with Zhao Liuli. I didn't expect to see this scene as soon as I came here. Empress Chen is not a fool. Naturally, she knows that her daughter deliberately lied to her. She didn't say that. Her daughter did this for her own purpose. She pushed her boat along the water to look at Li Xiang. She wanted to see what she wanted to do.
Li Xiang knew that he could not escape. He knelt on the ground, released his palm and exposed the golden butterfly inside. She pushed forward and confessed in fear: ”my aunt, please calm down I just saw that the hairpin was so beautiful. I couldn't help holding it in my hand for a moment. I didn't expect that it was so fragile. I broke one with a touch... ” As she said, she raised her jade white face and said, ”I know this is the hairpin of cousin Liuli's hairpin ceremony. It's of great significance. I'm so fond of playing As like as two peas, I don't know where the cousin's hair is made. I'll pay her the same thing.
She deliberately called empress Chen's aunt and cousin Zhao Liuli, so that empress Chen could punish her lightly for the sake of Gaoyang long princess. But she thinks too simply, empress Chen dotes on Zhao Liuli, in which eyes can hold a little sand? Queen Chen as like as two peas, and then she said, ”you know that this hairpin is of great significance. Where did you pay the same? How does Zhao Xuan teach you to touch others' things at will? ”
Li Xiang puckered his lips and his eyes showed humiliation. Unexpectedly, empress Chen would scold her in front of so many people, together with her mother
Empress Chen and Princess Gaoyang have always been at loggerheads, so that empress Chen is not very kind to Li Xiang and Li Song. In addition, Ruyang king is the leader of Zhao Zhang, and the relationship between Queen Chen and Ruyang palace is becoming worse and worse.
When Queen Chen had not married emperor Chongzhen, Princess Gaoyang did not agree with her brother to marry queen Chen. There was no lack of strength between them. They were old these years, and then they stopped slowly. Empress Chen used to look at Princess Gaoyang, but now Li Xiang breaks Zhao Liuli's hairpin and falls into her hands. Can she be kind?
Li Xiang bit his lower lip and looked up. ”It's my fault. It's nothing to do with my mother. Please don't blame my mother...” After that, he looked at Zhao Liuli again and said: ”cousin Liuli, I'm not good. I broke your hairpin. Please don't worry about it as much as I do. ”
As Li Xiang said, he secretly clenched his fist in his sleeve. She has always been superior and domineering. When did she ask people to be so servile.
And still in front of Wei Luo!
She didn't have to look. She knew what Wei Luo's expression was on her face.
If it wasn't for asking empress Chen's forgiveness this time, how could she have bowed her head in front of her.
The more he thought about it, the more angry Li Xiang became. All this must have been designed by Wei Luo. She deliberately brought her here to make her ready-made. It's really despicable
Zhao Liuli didn't say to forgive or not to forgive. She took the hairpin in Yunzi's hand, took it to her and looked at it. Her mouth was shriveled and shriveled. She was very sorry and said: ”if it breaks like this, it can't be mended I like this hairpin very much... ”
Li Xiang pressed his lips tightly.
Naturally, Gao Danyang also saw it. With a surprise, he pointed to the broken mark and said, ”it doesn't look like a broken mark, it looks like someone broke it...”
Empress Chen took a deep look at Li Xiang.
Li Xiang hurriedly bowed his head and explained to himself, ”to be honest with my aunt, I was unstable when I took it just now. I didn't knock it on the dressing mirror very much. I just knocked the hairpin out. I didn't intend to damage the things of cousin Liuli.”
Without a word, empress Chen asked slowly, ”is it really intentional? I remember that you don't like to play with glaze. Why are you suddenly interested in her things? If you want to see it, it's not necessarily that you don't want to see it. Why do you come here so stealthily? ”
This sentence is absolutely a naked satire. No one here knows that she has a good relationship with Zhao Linlang and a cold relationship with Zhao Liuli. Now that she has moved her things, even if it's really unintentional, it's hard to argue. What's more, she did it on purpose. All the spears pointed at her. She had a long mouth and could not explain it clearly.
Li Xiang bit his teeth and was about to say it again. Then he heard queen Chen slowly say, ”well, call your mother into the palace. If she can't teach you well, our palace will teach you how to be a noble girl with good manners in front of her. ”
Li Xiang looked up in amazement, which was quite unbelievable.Call her mother into the palace, and teach her in front of her mother. Doesn't that mean to break their face?
She opened her mouth and said, ”empress...”
However, empress Chen didn't give her a chance to argue. She walked out of the back hall and didn't let her kneel or get up. Zhao Liuli and Gao Danyang walk out with empress Chen, and Wei Luo walks behind. She raises her eyes and stares at Wei Luo with hatred.
Wei Luo looked down at her with a faint smile in her eyes. She leaned over her and asked softly, ”Li Xiang, do you know how to write stupid?”
Li Xiang is biting his teeth, speechless.
She smiled and continued, ”I didn't know, but when I saw you today, I suddenly understood.”
Say, ignore her stare, follow Zhao Liuli to leave together.
Li Xiang looks at the back of her leaving. Her nails are deeply embedded in the flesh, but she doesn't feel any pain.
*Half an hour later, Princess Gaoyang came from Ruyang palace.
Princess Gaoyang walked into Zhaoyang palace gracefully, dressed in honey colored plum, orchid, bamboo, dark pattern, and silk with a lake green double knee horse face skirt.
When she came, she only heard that queen Chen had something to do with her, but she didn't know what to do. Now as soon as I entered the hall, I saw Li Xiang, who was standing under empress Chen, standing with his head bowed down. He suddenly looked stiff and went forward with a full of doubts. He got up and asked, ”but what did Xiang'er do wrong? She even surprised her sister-in-law and invited me to the palace?”
Gaoyang long princess is a girl who loves her daughter. Now I see Lixiang standing in the hall pitifully, without even a seat. It's hard to avoid some heartache. Because of what she said just now, her tone is a little sour.
Empress Chen took up the lotus white jade cup on the table of the eight immortals, lowered her head and took a sip of Emei Maofeng, then said slowly: ”naturally, I have something to invite you. If it's OK, I think you won't step into my Qingxi palace. ”
Gaoyang long princess a smothering, choked by her speechless.
Empress Chen glanced at her faintly and gave her a seat in the rose chair below. ”Mother Qiu, take up the hairpin used in today's hairpin ceremony of Liuli and show it to the long princess.”
Mother Qiu should say, and then she brought up the hairpin which was broken into two parts with a tray and put it in front of Zhao Xuan.
Zhao Xuan took a look at it, but he didn't know what to do
Empress Chen didn't answer the question, but she said in a tone of Indifference: ”is it possible for the eldest princess to get rid of the children under her? Don't you even have a decent hairpin? Now when Li Xiang saw the hairpin of Liuli, he secretly took it to have a look. If he could not see it, he broke it. ” After a pause, seeing that the face of Princess Gao Yangchang was becoming more and more ugly, she said: ”if it's normal, a hairpin's palace doesn't care. It's just that this hairpin was given to Liuli by yu'er, and it's also used in the ceremony of Liuli. It's of great significance. How do you feel when you call this palace? ”
Zhao Xuan listened, calmed down and thought, ”where is this hairpin made? I asked people to build another glass to compensate for it. Why is it so angry to clean it? Xianger didn't mean to. Why did he scare her? ”
”Don't you understand the meaning of this palace?” Empress Chen put the white jade cup on the table, straightened out the color, and spoke sternly: ”can we solve the problem by paying for a hairpin? What are the etiquette rules in front of her? Useless empty talk? Or have you never taught her this before, so that she can develop today's temperament? ”
Zhao Xuan was scolded by her. She was still in front of all the palace maids in Zhaoyang hall. She suddenly felt that she had no face. She shook the handrail and said: ”sister in law...”
Empress Chen looked at her for a moment, and then took back her eyes for a long time. She said in a low voice, ”whether intentionally or unintentionally, Li Xiang's rules should be taught well. It's just that I have a Book of ”internal training” for mother Qiu to read. When did Li Xiang recite the contents and leave my Zhaoyang hall again? ”
Hearing the words, Li Xiang raised his head inconceivably.
There are twenty pieces of that book, all of which will be memorized, and they may not be finished by tomorrow morning!
Princess Gao Yangchang must have realized this too. Although she was not convinced, it was Li Xiang who was at fault. She had to get up and plead: ”sister-in-law is magnanimous. Xianger is still a child. Why do you have the same idea with her...”
However, empress Chen did not listen to her, but said to mother Qiu, ”read it.”
Mother Qiu hears the words and says that when she opens the internal training, empress Chen looks at her kindness, but there is still something strong in her heart. After all, people who have been on the battlefield, even if they have converged their wings, are also eagles who have soared in the sky.
When Li Xiang was a child, she and Zhao Linlang bullied Liuli. She will never forget these things. In that winter, Liuli fell into the pond and almost killed her. Although it was the fault of the seventh prince, she knew that Zhao Linlang and Li Xiang could not escape.
Fortunately, later Liuli was ok, otherwise she would not be held accountable.
These years she seems to be kind, because they did not commit her hand. Now, Li Xiang's mind is not clear. How could she easily let her go if she committed a crime under her eyes?
Mother Qiu's voice came out slowly, and the faces of Lixiang and gaoyangchang princess were not good-looking.Li Xianggen couldn't hear what mother Qiu read. So that mother Qiu read it again, but she didn't have any impression at all.
Empress Chen didn't stay here for a long time, so she got up and said, ”let's go back to our palace and have a rest. Li Xiang will recite here. When the back good life person pass a, autumn mammy comes to ask at any time After that, he looked at Princess Gaoyang again, and finally smiled, ”is Princess Gaoyang going to warm the pavilion with us for a while, or is she waiting here?”
Zhao Xuan, with a heavy air, said coldly, ”thank you for your kindness. I'd like to accompany xianger here.”
She nodded her head, but she didn't force it. She smiled and said: ”don't blame our palace for being too harsh. Li Xiang is almost 13 years old, and will marry soon? The rules are not good. You will be wronged if you marry your mother-in-law. This is for her future consideration. ”
Zhao Xuan is full of resentment, but he still has to lean over to thank her. He is reluctant to say: ”what my sister-in-law said is I will take good care of xianger. ”
Empress Chen, without any more words, walked into the warm Pavilion.
