C573 Beg her to testify (1/2)
Prime Minister's Estate, Qing An Courtyard.
The wet nurse was holding Little Lian Yan, the first wife was holding a rattle that was gently swaying in her hand, the child's eyes were agilely rolling back and forth like the moon, Lian Yue was sitting at the side, supporting her chin with her hand, with a smile on her face, her fingers caressing her brother's pink and tender cheeks, the little guy opened his mouth and cried out.
Lian Yanqing stared at the situation in front of him with great satisfaction and could not help but nod his head.
”Sigh …” At this moment, his mother sighed.
Third Wife Liu then said, ”Madame, it's a great pleasure to be with the heavens. What are you sighing about this time?”
”I remember that Xiao Shan from the Xiao Clan. He was so young and yet he was burnt to death. He was fine. Why is there a fire in his cell?” Even her mother said.
”Most likely, the poisonous scorpion would kill itself if it did something wrong. Mother, you don't have to worry about it anymore.” Lian Yan Qing felt happy that Xiao Zhenhai had suddenly lost his eldest son. These past few years, Xiao Zhenhai had been suppressing him. He was the prime minister, but now he was being suppressed by a general.
”Actually, what's quite a pity is that Princess Eleven.” ”I still remember that time when she came to our Prime Minister's house and didn't have the airs of a princess, so she called me 'Madam' when she saw me. When she spoke, her eyes were curved, and she had a very pretty smile on her face, but I didn't think that she would follow the Empress like this. Speaking of which, she was the one that Tactics liked, so many poems had been written for her, but unfortunately, the person she likes was not the Tactics.”
Hearing the first wife mention Feng Lingyue, Lian Ruyue's pinching hand paused for a moment, and then she continued to caress his hand, not making a sound.
”Why does eldest sister-in-law have such a good impression of Princess Eleven?” How do I remember that this princess is unruly and willful? I've heard people say that she forced her servants to disguise themselves as animals to hunt, and when she moved she would whip those who didn't listen to her. Everyone was afraid of her, so I didn't see that her eyes would look good when she smiled. Madam Liu said this as she reflected on the memories of the Eleventh Princess Feng Lingyue.
”The third branch!” Lian Rou hurriedly scolded, ”This mouth of yours, one day, you will bring disaster upon yourself and throw our entire family into it!”
If word of the late princess were to spread, it would be a great sin.
Mrs Liu knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly slapped her own mouth a few times and said, ”Madame, I deserve to die, I deserve to die!”
”Humph!” Her mother glared at her.
”Madame, Prime Minister, the palace has sent someone for Eldest Miss to enter the palace immediately, saying that it is an order from Empress Zhaoyi.” At this moment, outside the courtyard, the butler came to report.
”Right now, it's a busy season in the palace. Empress Zhao Yi wants you to enter the palace. You must be careful with your words and never break the rules.”
”Grandmother, I, Yue'er, will remember this. I will be careful.” Lian Ruyue said as she stood up.
Lian Ruyue went to the palace in a palanquin sent by the palace. The eunuch told her to wait in a certain hall for a summons. A moment later, someone from the Elegance Palace came and asked her to come with him.
Arriving at Yi Xiu Palace, Lian Zhaoyi walked over with his paunch, accompanied by Feng Yu Yao, who looked very haggard.
”Kneel!” After the crowd left, Lian Zhaoyi suddenly shouted.
Lian Ru Yue was startled as she slightly bent her knees — —
