Chapter 157 Proud of You
Zian looked at his back, his teeth itching with hatred, the regent always half-spoken, and then changed the topic to prevent people from asking questions.
The most unbearable thing is that his words are always plausible and false, and you will never be able to tell the difference.
Scoundrel!
It was almost Haishi to deal with Ni Rong's affairs.
Chen Liuliu was tired after playing with the maids all day, so she slept on her stomach on the stone table in the yard.
During these days, she and Xiao Tuo have not made any progress, and have not said a word. The only progress is that she can see him often.
Chen Liuliu told Zian that she was going to penetrate into Xiao Tuo's interior slowly, so she was not in a hurry.
Zian admired her very much, and thought that she would give up if she insisted on failing to talk to Xiao Tuo for two or three days. This kind of tenacity is not available to ordinary ladies.
Chen Liuliu is worthy of respect, and if this tenacity is used in other areas, it will definitely achieve something.
When they left the mansion, the noble concubine just came back from outside the mansion.
She came back from the palace, every first day of every month she had to enter the palace to greet the old lady, but she didn't go yesterday because there were many people entering the palace yesterday, so she changed to enter the palace today.
This is the first time that Zi'an met the noble concubine face to face in these days.
She pulled Chen Liuliu to salute, "See the imperial concubine."
The Concubine Gui stood still and looked at Xia Zian. Her face was calm and her eyes were also calm, but this calm always felt a little strange.
"Your father invited Ai's family to attend the wedding tomorrow, you tell your father that Ai's family is not feeling well, so you won't go, but if you don't come, the ceremony will always come." The imperial concubine said.
"Yes, Concubine Xie, take care, Concubine Gui." Zi'an said, although she hated the person who ordered her to be thrown into a mass grave to be killed, she still could not conflict with her.
"Xia Zi'an," the imperial concubine had already taken a step forward, but stopped and said, "The Ai family has asked the empress dowager for an order today, and the order to grant marriage will come down in two days."
Zi'an was startled, but still respectfully said: "Thank you, Empress Dowager."
The Concubine Gui smiled indifferently, "You will know in the future whether you should thank Ai's family today."
After speaking, he went in coldly.
Chen Liuliu helped Zi'an to get up, and she was a little puzzled and said: "Why do you know whether you should thank her later? You didn't really thank her, didn't she know?"
Zi'an smiled, "Yes, I didn't mean it. She also knows that everyone is just talking about the scene, but her talk hints at the danger of me getting married in the future."
Although Chen Liuliu was rude, she understood a lot, "If she wants to deal with you, there is really nothing better than you being her daughter-in-law."
Murong Jie stood in front of the corridor, watching the two encounter each other.
The noble concubine walked by his side and said coldly: "According to your request, the Ai family has already entered the palace to ask for an order."
"Thank you!" Murong Jie's expression was half a smile.
"Even if Ai's family doesn't go this time, sooner or later she will decree to grant a marriage, why are you so anxious?" The imperial concubine was very displeased.
Murong Jie snuggled in front of the railing, with a faint smile on his lips, looking cynical, "This is different, she is the daughter-in-law that the mother concubine specially entered the palace to ask for an order, it's better than the empress mother issued an order to force you to accept it, isn't it? "
"I know you hate Aijia, but Aijia hasn't provoked her anymore, why do you humiliate your biological mother like this?" The noble concubine said with a gloomy face.
Murong Jie stared at her, his smile widened, "Look at what the concubine mother said? How can a son hate his mother? Unless this mother once cruelly wanted to kill her son, but this is impossible , tiger poison doesn’t eat children, not to mention that my mother is a concubine loved by my father, do you remember what my father said about you in the canonized edict? You are gentle, respectful and thrifty, elegant and dignified, and you are respectful and cautious, and you are worthy of the world A role model for women."
The noble concubine turned blue with anger, and stared at him like a poisoned arrow, but slowly calmed down, "You can say whatever you like, Aijia has a clear conscience."
Murong Jie laughed softly, "I just like the shameless self-deception of my mother and concubine."
She said with a cold face: "Don't be complacent, the Ai family will always be your mother and concubine, even if there are all kinds of faults in the Ai family, your father and emperor rule the world with benevolence and filial piety, as long as the Ai family is still in this mansion, you must abide by filial piety, there can be no A slight negligence."
"Mother and concubine are joking, how can a son not be filial to mother and concubine?" Murong Jie smiled and turned away, "Isn't it just showing filial piety now? By the way, the king has already decreed that it is not a big funeral, Nan Huai The king is not allowed to enter the capital."
The noble concubine's face was broken, and she asked desperately, "He is your own brother, are you so cruel?"
"Compared to what my concubine did with him, my son is already very kind. If I used the same method as you, it would be impossible for my concubine to stand here and talk to me today, and he would not be able to be the King of Nanhuai in the southern country."
The Concubine Gui sneered, and looked back at Aunt Sizhu, "If you say that Aijia is subdued, he will be subdued. It seems that you have misjudged him."
Aunt Si Zhu said softly: "The Concubine Gui did not give in."
"Really?" The Concubine Gui was so angry that her lips trembled, "Ai's family entered the palace today to ask for an order. Such a humiliating thing is not considered submissive?"
Aunt Sizhu shook her head, "Grand Concubine, as long as you still treat him as your own son in your heart, you will always wash away the unhappy things in the past."
"No need, Aijia and him, the love between mother and child is exhausted." The noble concubine turned around and left resolutely.
Aunt Sizhu hesitated for a moment, and chased after Murong Jie's disappearing line of defense.
"My lord, wait a moment!"
Murong Jie turned around, "Auntie, what's the matter?"
Aunt Sizhu said softly: "My lord, the Concubine Gui has already realized her mistake, can you..."
Aunt Sizhu couldn't say it, because she thought it was forced, but she hoped that the situation would not develop in a direction she didn't want.
Murong Jie stared at Aunt Si Zhu, "Gu Gu seems to be over fifty this year, right?"
"Sixty." Aunt Sizhu smiled desolately, "Hair is already white and dyed black."
"My aunt is getting old, maybe it's time to go back to her hometown." Murong Jie said calmly.
Aunt Sizhu shook her head, "I'm afraid I will never be able to live without the Concubine Gui for the rest of my life, I'm used to having her by my side."
"People have to learn to change."
Aunt Sizhu's face was a little dazed. She thought about leaving more than once, but could she really let go?
She has been with the young lady all her life, from the maidservant to entering the palace, to the time when the late emperor left the palace and entered the mansion. This life is very long, but now the memories flash by in an instant.
She still shook her head, "No, the servants will die in this palace, die early and be reborn early."
She didn't expect that some words would become a prophecy.
She knelt down, "My aunt has never begged the prince in her life, but this time, aunt begs you because she is still your mother. No matter what she does, don't hurt her life, aunt begs you."
"What is she going to do?" Murong Jie saw something from Aunt Si Zhu's face.
"No, nothing." Aunt Sizhu smiled sadly, "My lord, take care!"
She stood up, looked at the extremely majestic Murong Jie in front of her, and remembered that when he was young, he always loved to circle her, and when he was born, that wrinkled smiling face, that once tender life, she embraced In her arms, now, the child has grown up and has become what she wants.
"My aunt will be proud of you in my life." After Aunt Si Zhu finished speaking, she took a deep look at her and turned away.
