133 All I want is the result
Leng Rutong and Ye Qianzhi entered the palace. She originally wanted to rely on Tang Ao to convince the emperor, but now she wanted Ye Qianzhi to be a better lobbyist.
The emperor had just finished his morning court, and Ye Qianzhi seemed to have rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion after he finished his morning court. He was so anxious that he did have a kindness and righteousness to him in his heart. She could not respond to him in terms of relationships between men and women, but on the throne, she would do her best to help him, which was the only reward.
Leng Rutong felt that it was better to beg for the Empress Dowager than to beg for the Emperor. Ye Qianzhi brought her to see Empress Dowager Ling Ci. Ye Qianzhi actually felt a little confused about why he wanted to do this. Does he love Leng Rutong? He occasionally asked himself deeply, but he was not sure, especially after she was insulted, he felt that no matter how hard he tried, this woman would not belong to him.
He even understood why Leng Rutong wanted his man to be clean last time, because he seemed to have encountered this kind of confusion. He knew that Leng Rutong's accident was not Leng Rutong's fault, but it changed in his heart. He didn't want it, but it just happened for no reason.
But he also suspected that this time the incident happened because of himself. If he left her alone, he would be uneasy. Rather than saying that he had been persisting because he couldn't get Leng Rutong, it would be better to say that he wanted to marry Leng Rutong for peace.
Now that marrying Leng Rutong can't threaten his throne, he is just a concubine, and it's not harmful to the present, Leng Rutong is not qualified to ask for consistency.
It was when the Empress Dowager Xiang of each palace was decided to invite her in the morning and evening, and there were many concubines in each palace in the Lingci Palace. Leng Rutong's aunt Shan Jieyu was also there. Shan Jieyu's temperament followed Tang Ao, and she had no big ambitions and would not be scheming. Therefore, even if the emperor favored her now, she still only had the identity of Jieyu. Of course, it can be seen that Ye Xianghao is not an emotional person.
Ye Qianzhi walked in with Leng Rutong. When Empress Dowager Ling Ci saw him coming so early, she said happily: "The sun is coming out from the west today. Zhi'er has time to come to explore the old woman of Ai's family so early."
"Come here quickly, see Zhi'er quickly, aren't you talking about it day and night?" Empress Dowager Ling Ci happily pulled a girl in front of her. When Leng Rutong heard this name, it would be the Princess Anxin I met in Wuyi Lane a few days ago.
She looked up curiously and was shocked. What a beautiful fairy-like woman with a stunning moon eyebrows, her water-cut pupils, her small nose tip, and her charming red lips, like a beautiful landscape painting, which makes people unconsciously sigh how magical the heaven is, and she can make the woman so beautiful.
She was wearing a peach-colored water and moon-flowing cloud skirt, with her shoulders shaved and her waist shaped like a willow bunch. She stood there stunning time, but not only her face was astonishing as she looked, but also her every look was full of charm. She just stood beside Ling Ci with her eyebrows, but her delicate posture made people unconsciously want to give her love.
Leng Rutong knew that she had a natural beauty, but when she compared her face, she suddenly felt that she was just a small character. Sure enough, there were people in this world outside of people and mountains outside of mountains.
"Brother Zhi." An Xin stood beside Empress Dowager Ling Ci and called Ye Qianzhi shyly.
Ye Qianzhi raised his eyes and looked at her curiously, with a look on his face a little happy: "Anxin, why are you in the palace? When did you come? Why didn't you ask me to pick you up?"
Leng Rutong showed this expression for the first time when she saw Ye Qianzhi. His face was a thousand-year-old iceberg. He would occasionally smile with a rare smile, but the smile was not from the heart. This time she could feel that she was indeed happy because of the arrival of Princess Anxin. It turned out that there would be something in this world that made him happy in his heart.
She was even more sure Ye Qianzhi's original insistence on her was not love at all.
"My aunt hurriedly called Anxin to enter the palace. Anxin had not had time to notify Brother Zhi, but Brother Zhi seemed to be very busy these days." Princess Anxin looked at Leng Rutong with a little complaining look, as if she was busy for this woman, and a hint of jealousy slipped through Anxin's eyes.
Fortunately, she came in time, otherwise her brother Zhi would have been taken away by this woman.
"I don't know that you are here. If you know, you will definitely let go of everything and accompany you." Ye Qianzhi walked over and patted her head, looking very doting.
Leng Rutong coughed lightly: "Third Prince, can you wait a while to solve our problems first?" She didn't have so much time to accompany him here. If this road doesn't work, she has to think of other solutions. Princess Anxin is beautiful, so she doesn't feel that she really looks at it for a few more times, but that's just pure appreciation and can't delay the serious matter.
Ye Qianzhi felt a little disappointed when he saw her eyes. He could not see any emotions in Leng Rutong's eyes. She really didn't care about his relationship with Princess An Xin.
Leng Rutong seemed to feel his heart, and unconsciously said, "Who cares about it will be stupid."
Ye Qianzhi sighed lightly: "Grandma Huang, Zhi'er is here today and wants to ask Grandma Huang to make the decision. Zhi'er thought about it and could not ignore Miss Leng. Although she had any differences, she could not be the official wife of the royal family, but Zhi'er wanted to take her as her concubine, so she asked Grandma Huang to fulfill her wish."
After hearing Ye Qianzhi's words, Empress Dowager Ling Ci's kind face suddenly became tense. Why is Zhi'er still involved with Leng Rutong? She thought that the matter was over yesterday. She looked at Leng Rutong coldly, thinking that this tricky girl was pestering Zhi'er and refused to let go yesterday. She refused to ask for marriage so much yesterday, and then asked Zhi'er to make trouble behind her back?
Leng Rutong shrugged innocently: "Empress Dowager, don't look at the common women like this. The common women were also pulled by the third prince. The common women were just a desperate situation."
Empress Dowager Ling Ci's face changed slightly. Unexpectedly, Leng Rutong said so directly. She cleared her throat intently: "Zhi'er, this matter was explained clearly yesterday. Why are you struggling with this matter again today? The marriage between you and Miss Leng is impossible. This is God's will, and you can't blame you."
"Grandma Huang, Miss Leng is not at fault in this matter. She is also a victim. Zhi'er cannot be such a righteous person." Ye Qianzhi had his insistence. He thought that it was impossible to give Leng Rutong a concubine's identity. Even women in brothels could be concubines, let alone Leng Rutong was just a victim of evil people.
Empress Dowager Ling Ci became unhappy and raised her eyes gently as cold as Tong: "Girl Tong, what do you say? Are you willing to be Zhi'er's concubine?"
Leng Rutong lowered her head: "It doesn't matter what the people are like now, and there is no right to say anything else. I will follow the instructions of the Empress Dowager." Empress Dowager Ling Ci, Empress Dowager, has reached this point. You still expect me to deal with Ye Qianzhi. You elders should also show your appearance. Don't expect me to refuse every time.
To put it nicely, I am sensible, but to put it bluntly, I always use me as a shield. I am not a straw boat, so I will block the arrow for you every time.
"Zhi'er, it's not impossible for you to marry a girl from Tong, but due to her health, at most, she will be a pet and be included in the royal family list." Empress Dowager Ling Ci was not vague. Knowing that Leng Rutong was already catching rice life grass, she made a decision directly. This matter must be resolved quickly. The only one who can match Zhi'er is Princess Anxin.
Leng Rutong snorted coldly: "It's not necessary to be a pet. The folk girl didn't expect anything. The third prince insisted on pulling the folk girl into the palace and said that the queen mother would understand the truth and let the folk girl get the identity of a concubine. Since that's the case, there is nothing to say. It's just a joke for the folk girl to stand here, so I won't delay all the masters."
Xiao Chong, whoever likes to do it, who doesn’t know that Xiao Chong is like a maid serving in bed, and is a sleeping lady who doesn’t even have the status to accompany her.
"Grandma Huang, according to etiquette, the prince does not need the consent of the queen mother and the emperor. Zhi'er came to report to the queen mother, but respected the queen mother, and asked the queen mother to help him." Ye Qianzhi suddenly understood that although Leng Rutong had an accident, her arrogance still did not change at all because of her damage. Letting her be a pet is even more painful than killing her.
"Zhi'er!" Empress Dowager Ling Ci angrily shouted and stopped Ye Qianzhi: "As a prince, you should know the right way. How dare your father pass on the future throne to you like this?"
As soon as these words came out, the concubines who were watching the show were surprised. Could it be that the emperor had decided to choose the crown prince? Fortunately, Concubine Ning was not here. If she was there, she would be so angry that she would vomit blood.
"Why should the Queen Mother get angry? Wouldn't it be better to hand over the country to a kind person? Could it be that the Queen Mother hopes that her descendants will be as cold-blooded and ruthless as you?" Leng Rutong spoke at this time without knowing how to say that I was a broken jar anyway, and I was afraid of whom.
"What a rampant Chimin, how dare you say this to the Queen Mother! People come to me." Aunt Lin stood aside and shouted loudly, making Empress Ci's face pale, as if she was angry at what Leng Rutong said.
Leng Rutong snorted coldly, and it turned out that she knew that she was indeed cold-blooded and ruthless. Yes, a mother who could even depose and rename another prince. If she was not cold-blooded and ruthless enough, how could she achieve her current status?
Rather than saying that she knows how to judge the situation, it is better to say that she stepped on her prince and took the throne. Empress Dowager Ling Ci's son could not accept the way of his mother and committed suicide by taking poison. I heard that there was a sentence in the suicide note left behind that year that he did not expect that he had such a cold-blooded and ruthless mother.
So Leng Rutong's cold-blooded and ruthless sentence hit Empress Dowager Ling Ci's fatal hole. The palace maid on the side immediately came forward to grab Leng Rutong and wanted to slap her mouth when she heard Aunt Lin's order.
"Slow down! I want to see who dares to touch the person I brought into the palace." Ye Qianzhi walked coldly to Leng Rutong, and the cold light swept over the palace maid. The palace maid immediately lowered her head and retreated.
Aunt Lin was a little angry: "Third Prince, you are trying to be angry with the Queen Mother. You don't know the Queen Mother's body..."
Empress Dowager Ling Ci shook her hand: "Aunt Lin, stop talking. The Ai family wants to chat with the girl Tong alone. You all step down first."
Princess Anxin gently patted the back of Empress Dowager Ling Ci and said carelessly: "Auntie, you have to take care of yourself."
Empress Dowager Ling Ci patted her little hand: "Don't worry, aunt's body is so strong, let Zhi'er take you to the palace to walk around." Princess Anxin nodded after hearing this, walked to Ye Qianzhi and pulled his arm and walked: "Brother Zhi, Anxin hasn't come for a long time. The palace has changed a lot. Take me to visit."
Ye Qianzhi looked back at Leng Rutong, but the latter replied with his look of happiness. Ye Qianzhi was slightly angry and let Princess Anxin pull him out of the palace. He was too lazy to care about the ungrateful girl, so he asked her to go against Grandma the emperor!
"Now everyone has stepped down, tell me, what do you want the most." Empress Dowager Ling Ci was so smart that Leng Rutong's attitude yesterday was exactly the same as today's attitude. She must be calculating something in her heart. Speaking of scheming, this girl's scheming was very loud.
"The Empress Dowager thinks that the people's daughter want, and the Empress Dowager can't even give me a side room. I am the granddaughter of General Tang after all. My grandfather has been doing his best for the country all his life, and he is inferior to you. To put it bluntly, even if nothing happened to me this time, the Empress Dowager did not intend to let Ye Qianzhi marry me." Leng Rutong discovered today that the generals of the Tang family were really nothing in front of these noble royal families. Princess Anxin is an example.
But fortunately, she did so many things that made Ye Qianzhi give up on herself, which really made Empress Dowager Ling Ci happy. She couldn't help but suspect that some people might have done it intentionally that night, and this person is very likely to be the Empress Dowager.
"Since you know, the Ai family told you the truth. Beisheng Country has rich resources and marriage is a must." Empress Dowager Ling Ci admired this girl's intelligence. Unfortunately, she could have been a concubine, but now she is not able to do so.
"So the Queen Mother sent someone to ruin me for the sake of her grandson's marriage?" Leng Rutong looked at Empress Dowager Ling Ci coldly. She originally thought Ye Mingzhu was vicious, but in the end there was a more vicious person in the palace. Living in this deep palace could find someone to harm her. She was really capable.
I used to respect her as an old man, so I was always polite to her, but I didn't expect that she would not treat herself as a human being at all.
The Empress Dowager's face changed slightly, but she still said calmly: "It is best not to say anything that has no evidence to the Tong girl. Your words are enough to cure your great debauchery."
"You arranged the troublemakers from the Prime Minister's Mansion this morning, right?" It was not enough to ruin her. She deliberately created such an incident in order to make her shame, hoping that she could not raise her head and would not bother the third prince for the rest of her life? What a vicious old woman, it was indeed a disaster that lasted for thousands of years. She lived to be a hundred years old and still died. I want to see what retribution you will suffer.
Empress Dowager Ling Ci picked up the teacup and said lightly: "The Ai family doesn't know what you are talking about."
"Okay, it's enough for you and I to know it. Since the Empress Dowager is happy to ask me what I want, I will tell you honestly that I want to enter the royal family list, which is a magnificent and glorious entry." Leng Rutong looked at Empress Dowager Ling Ci's shocked expression with sharp eyes, and felt very happy.
If you have it with her, "Actually, you don't want the third prince to marry me. You can tell me directly, I have rejected the third prince once or twice, why do you have to do this? Since this is the case now, I will be obsessed with the third prince. Although the third prince is cold on the surface, he is actually a bloody man in his heart. No matter how hidden you do, you can find clues. The reason why the third prince doesn't investigate is because he also doubts who did it. With his guilt towards me, I think I should be able to catch the third prince."
When you give you a face, you still have to shave my face. I'm sorry, this time I'm having a fight with you, the old woman. She can only say sorry about using Ye Qianzhi. 13acv.
Empress Dowager Ling Ci's face became ugly again after hearing this. She didn't expect that she would be threatened by a private girl. What a girl, she looked very much like herself back then.
"Pin girl, you don't have to threaten the Ai family. You just want to enter the royal family list. Although you have any stains, it's just a word from the Ai family. In addition to the second and third princes, you choose a prince, and the Ai family lets you be your concubine."
"If the Queen Mother's memory has not regressed because of her age, she should remember that I would never serve the same husband with others."
"Then are you Zhi'er's concubines? "
Leng Rutong sneered unconsciously: "Empress Dowager, if I really want to catch the third prince, it is not as simple as being a concubine. The people sent by the Empress Dowager himself may as well ask those people whether my body is innocent."
Empress Dowager Ling Ci's face changed drastically, and her hands holding the teacup were trembling. Leng Rutong's words shocked her too much. She asked in disbelief: "What do you mean?"
"Since I have the same idea as the Empress Dowager, that is, the third prince cannot marry me, then I will tell the Empress Dowager honestly. Because I wanted to refuse the third prince's invitation to marry, I pretended to be insulted. The people you sent were too dirty and could not touch me at all." Leng Rutong showed an evil smile.
Empress Dowager Ling Ci pressed her chest and shook her head: "Impossible, who would take her Zhenjie..."
"If the Empress Dowager doesn't believe it, someone will be able to test the body when I marry the third prince. I won't know if I can pass that level." Leng Rutong's eyes were poisonous, but he looked at Empress Dowager Ling Ci with a clever smile. This old lady, I will let you poison, and I won't call you Leng Rutong if I don't make you angry to death.
"Since you would rather destroy your innocence than marry Zhi'er, what is Zhi'er worthy of you?" What made Empress Dowager Ci even more angry was that her beloved grandson was so disliked by someone. She choked and spit out her blood.
Leng Rutong quickly handed her the handkerchief: "Empress Dowager, you have to calm down, your body is important." She had not achieved her goal yet, but she didn't want to piss her to death so early.
Empress Dowager Ling Ci waved her hand and took out a scarf to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth. Even though she was so embarrassed, her movements were still elegant and arrogant. This was the airs of the royal family. Leng Rutong sneered unconsciously.
"Actually, I have the same idea as you, and I think Miss Leng is not worthy of the third prince."
"Then why do you want to catch Zhi'er now? What's the point of doing this to harm others and yourself?"
"Empress Dowager, you are wrong. In the past, I didn't marry because I felt that there was a reason to not marry. Now I want to marry because there is a reason to marry. I just don't want my relatives to hurt my enemies. If I have to do this, it's all because I'm forced by the Queen Mother. Don't think about what I do to me, everyone knows that I'm quarrel with you today. If something happens to me, I will let the third prince avenge me. The third prince has also seen the obsession with me. What do you think will happen to him?"
Empress Dowager Ling Ci suddenly realized that the girl in front of her was too terrible. She was even more scheming than she used to bet. She couldn't do anything about a woman who could even use her own Zhenjie as a bet. She didn't know whether what she said was true or not, but she didn't dare to gamble.
She killed her son in this life and did not want to harm her grandson again.
"Tell me, what do you want to let Zhi'er go?" Empress Dowager Ling Ci had to whisper.
Leng Rutong smiled: "The Empress Dowager does have the style of the Empress Dowager. Actually, I don't want much, just to enter the royal family list. Since the Empress Dowager cannot bear to leave the third prince, it's better to reward me with the seventh prince."
"What!!!" Empress Dowager Ling Ci's face changed drastically again: "Ya'er is the future national guru and the Taoist priest of Wudang Mountain. How can she get married?"
"Whether you can get married is not just a word from the Empress Dowager. Compared with the third prince and the seventh prince, what is the seventh prince? Besides, the seventh prince is a Taoist priest. After getting married, he will not touch me. It will not have any impact on the royal family, nor will it mess up your royal bloodline. What I want is just a status. Now, you have been unable to find a good marriage. If the Empress Dowager is stingy and doesn't give me this title, then I have nothing to say."
"What are you thinking about? You actually think about Ya'er." Empress Dowager Ci was puzzled. There were many princes she didn't choose, but she chose Ya'er.
"I said, I don't want to serve a husband with others, only the seventh prince can satisfy my wish."
"It's really that simple?" Empress Dowager Ling Ci was a little disbelief. She refused Zhi'er so many times, but she was interested in Ya'er. How could such a stupid woman be like this?
Leng Rutong was amused unconsciously: "Empress Dowager, you have been calculating in your life, so you always feel that everything others do has a purpose. Can't be simpler? In fact, it is better for you to marry the Seventh Prince? From this conversation, the Queen Mother must also think that I am a difficult person. When I went to Wudang Mountain with the Seventh Prince, there will be no obstacles to you, and you can also cut off the third prince's thoughts, and you will not find that you sent someone to insult me, and it will do nothing to you."
How could Empress Dowager Ci not know what she said? The reason why she dared not agree was that there was no precedent for Taoist priest to get married. Although she was the empress dowager, she could not force folk religious beliefs. Taoist priest was pure and flawless in the hearts of the people. It was easy for her to give an imperial edict, but if she was resisted, it would be the biggest impact on the royal family. To put it more than that, it might shake the country.
"Zhi'er is a Taoist priest, and he will definitely oppose marrying a wife. This is really not something that the Ai family can decide." Empress Dowager Ling Ci said the truth this time.
"He is the prince first and then the Taoist priest. If the empress dowager really wants him to marry me, he will naturally find a good reason. I know it will be difficult for you to make a decision for a while. I am waiting for your imperial edict from the empress dowager." Leng Rutong no longer forced her. She must think about this matter and discuss it with the emperor, but that is all her business, and she is just waiting for the result.
