Chapter 49: Angry for Lan Yan
Ji Qingwu put the note in his sleeve and knelt down together with the palace people in the palace.
"The Yi family's decree cannot persuade you, so the Ai family can only come here in person."
The Queen Mother walked into the Zhaoyang Palace expressionlessly, followed by Shi Xi and Fang Hua.
Ji Qingwu lowered his head, not daring to answer, and knelt aside honestly.
Li Yuzong went to court with Emperor Wu Su, leaving only a few palace officials responsible for the affairs of the palace.
The Queen Mother raised her eyelids and glanced at Ji Qingwu.
Seeing that her hair was slightly messy and she looked like she had just woken up, she felt increasingly unhappy.
At this time, most of the emperor's morning court was in session. The Queen Mother accompanied the frightened Princess Qingyun last night and could not sleep peacefully.
Ji Qingwu, the troublemaker, slept soundly!
Sitting on the armchair, the Queen Mother looked angry.
"The Ai family originally wanted to give you more care because you had been living abroad for many years, helpless and with a young daughter."
The Queen Mother continued sternly: "But how dare you You pushed the biological princess of the Ai family into the lake and almost caused Qingyun to drown. You are really brave."
Ji Qingwu was still thinking about the content of the note and didn't write much. , only two words.
Seeing her wandering away, the Queen Mother became even more angry.
"Although you are the niece of the Ai family, you cannot be lawless. If you do the following, the Ai family will punish you today. Do you know your mistake?"
It doesn't matter if you know your mistake, you will still be punished.
Ji Qingwu pinched his little finger. In the final analysis, this matter was because of one person.
If it were as the note left to her by Emperor Wu Su said
The Queen Mother would definitely be arrogant.
But she doesn't want to do this!
Being in a different place, if Li Chengxun treats her like an object and hands her away because the other person is a powerful person, she will also be disappointed and sad.
Her relationship with Li Chengxun is not very deep.
But suddenly so many people jumped out to hinder them, and Ji Qingwu had the idea of firmly protecting this "seedling" of love.
Ji Qingwu made up his mind.
He raised his head and looked directly into the Queen Mother's eyes, with a hint of determination in his voice.
“I dare to ask the Queen Mother, has Her Royal Highness the Princess said why she was dragged into the water by me?”
The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes: “What do you mean?”
Shi Xi was shocked, the fifth young lady of the Ji family seemed to be a little different.
When I saw her before, she always looked soft and weak, but now that the Queen Mother has lost her temper, she is no longer afraid and wants to argue with reason.
Ji Qingwu said clearly and logically: "After the Queen Mother's birthday party, Her Royal Highness the Princess called me to the lake. She bluntly said that she liked Li Chengxun as her consort and asked me to give in. When I disagreed, she pushed me into the lake. It was the Princess who made the first move. "
The more the Queen Mother listened, the tighter her eyebrows furrowed.
The more Ji Qingwu said, the calmer he felt and no longer worried.
"Moreover, the princess has already ordered the guards to wait by the lake, waiting for me to fall into the water. She has already planned it. Why not arrange a palace maid or eunuch who is good at water? Queen Mother, you will definitely know the reason. "Secret."
How could the Queen Mother not understand?
She stretched out her long armored hand, pointed at her and said: "What you mean by this is to accuse Qingyun of being arrogant and difficult, and deliberately trying to break up you and Li Chengxun!"
See you in Shixi! Like this, he hurriedly bowed up, got close to the Queen Mother's ear, and whispered a few words softly to let the master calm down.
The surrounding palace people are all serving the emperor. This is not the Cining Palace.
If the gossip that is not good for the princess's reputation were heard by others...
The queen was really angry, and she forgot about this, and she endured her anger.
"Shi Xi, please go and invite Li Chengxun to the palace immediately. You don't need to say why, just order him to come directly to Cining Palace for an audience."
After all, this is the emperor's palace, so the Queen Mother is here. , just to take Ji Qingwu back, and not to deal with her here.
The Queen Mother drove her back in a sedan chair, with Ji Qingwu following behind the team.
She was originally feeling uneasy, but when she saw the Queen Mother's angry face, she calmed down. She was at fault, but she didn't initiate the trouble.
The Queen Mother has been in a high position for a long time. Under one person, she is the support of the Ji family.
But she is not only the daughter of the Ji family, she also has the blood of the Qiao family in her body. Her maternal ancestors have a high prestige in the court, and the affairs of the harem will also affect the previous court.
Ji Qingwu didn’t believe that the Queen Mother would have no scruples at all.
Cining Palace, the main hall.
There was silence in the palace.
The Queen Mother took a nap with her eyes closed, while Ji Qingwu stood quietly in the corner.
Until Princess Qingyun, with a pale face, was helped in by the maid.
She weakly called: "Mother."
The Queen Mother opened her eyes, got up and came down to pick her up, held her hand, and said with concern: "Qingyun, why don't you lie down well You're still up. Didn't the imperial doctor say you were infected? The wind and cold have stopped, so I'll let you take some rest."
Princess Qingyun said softly: "My mother worked hard to take care of me last night. I heard that you got up so early today and rushed back and forth to make decisions for me. How could I lie down? ”
Ji Qingwu was always puzzled. When the princess was fished out last night, she still spoke like a bell and was full of energy.
After one night, you look like this sickly?
Her eyes are not cloudy, and it doesn’t look like evil wind has entered her body.
Aware that someone was looking at her, Princess Qingyun turned her head and saw Ji Qingwu, a look of panic and fear immediately appeared on her face.
Princess Qingyun sobbed softly: "Mother, my fifth cousin and I met for the first time. I wanted to say a few words to her, but somehow I made her unhappy, so she pushed me into the lake."
The Queen Mother wiped her tears with a handkerchief and comforted her again. Ji Qingwu received a few more looks.
"Report to the Queen Mother, Young Master Li has been brought here."
Shi Xi quickly walked into the palace to report.
The Queen Mother asked Princess Qingyun to sit down below her and said, "Let him come in."
Princess Qingyun stopped crying and looked towards the entrance of the palace.
Ji Qingwu also raised his eyes and looked over.
The man is white-clothed and has dark hair, his eyebrows are picturesque, and his noble appearance is like the moon in the sky.
After Li Chengxun said hello, he was given a seat and his treatment was much better than that of Ji Qingwu, who was standing in the corner.
She thought with amusement in her misery that she could be regarded as a "full of anger" for Lan Yan.
The Queen Mother, who was sitting on the throne, looked as usual and said with dignity: "Li Chengxun, the Ai family has called you here because they have something to ask you."
He said with a respectful expression: "The Queen Mother, please ask."
"The Ai family has heard a rumor recently and would like to confirm with you whether it is false or true. You and the Ai family's niece Ji Qing Wu, are you engaged?”
As soon as this question came out, Li Chengxun and Ji Qingwu’s eyes met, and he looked away first.
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, no."
A verbal agreement is not considered an engagement. Ji Qingwu felt that there was nothing wrong with his answer.
Princess Qingyun helped: "Mother, Mr. Li is just a guest of the Qiao family. Why do you ask this? This rumor must be incorrect."
The Queen Mother said: "Oh? Qingwu, Come back to the Ai family and tell me why the princess had a dispute with you last night."
Ji Qingwu walked to the palace and bowed.
“I returned to the Queen Mother because Princess Qingyun prefers Mr. Li as her consort.”
Ji Qingwu simply said: “But I don’t agree.”
Li Chengxun's back stiffened.
Ji Qingwu: I will protect my "Lan Yan"
(I feel sorry for our Xiaowu for a second)
