Chapter 131 The Queen's Scheming
Chapter 131 The Queen's Scheme
Just make it clear. Anyway, since Xiao Li has come, it means she has made all plans. What's more, for her, it's best to be able to make it clear when encountering such a thing. Just dragging it all day long, she feels annoyed than anyone else.
When Yuwen Ruocai heard this, she couldn't help but laugh in her heart. You know, the reason why she came here with Xiao Li today was to get a clear understanding of this matter. So now, she wanted to see what the Queen should make about it.
But she didn't expect that after the Empress said this, she suddenly looked at Yuwen Ruocai. Looking at the expression in her eyes, she didn't seem to want Yuwen Ruocai to participate.
Yuwen Ruocai was very tactful. When he saw the Queen's eyes strange, he quickly stood up from his seat, and then smiled at the Queen and said, "Empress, didn't you say yesterday that you should give A Cai a good reward? In fact, A Cai's heart had long been attracted by the pair of jade earrings on the Queen's dressing table. Why not let this sister take A Cai to enjoy it again now?"
When the queen heard this, she smiled happily at her, then turned around and smiled at the deacon palace maid beside her, "Zi Xian, since A Cai said that, why don't you take her to see where the jade earring is. After finding it, put the earring on for the second lady."
Zi Xian responded after hearing this, then walked to Yuwen Ruocai and smiled at her, "Miss A Cai, please come with me."
It was not until Yuwen Ruocai left that the Empress spoke to Xiao Li again and said, "Ali, actually, the Ai family invited you here today. There is indeed something to ask you for."
Xiao Li quickly stood up after hearing this: "This minister dare not take it. If the Empress has anything to say, please speak out."
The Empress suddenly sighed, "Okay, since you are so sensible, then the Ai family will be relieved. In fact, you must also know that the reason why the Ai family invited you here today was for Prince Wu."
Xiao Li nodded after hearing this: "Report to the Empress, A Li knows that because of this matter, A Li makes the Empress worry, and A Li apologizes to the Empress here. But A Li still said that, A Li definitely has no intention of competing with Prince Wu. What's more, Prince Wu has already made a marriage with Sister Xueer, so A Li will not do such things that harm others and are unfavorable."
Xiao Li originally thought that after she expressed her attitude first, the conversation between her and the Queen might be much easier next.
However, in the end, the Queen's sudden words were shocked by her.
The Empress suddenly said, "It's not like this, Ali, please listen to the Ai family's detailed discussion on this matter."
Xiao Li quickly sat down with her, but she guessed in her heart that she didn't know what the Queen would say to her.
However, at this moment, the Empress suddenly smiled at her: "Haha, Ali. The Ai family said these words, which may make you see. However, what the Ai family said was carefully considered by the Ai family."
Looking at the sudden smile on the Queen's face, Xiao Li felt a little unsure in her heart. But she still smiled and said to the Queen, "Please tell me bluntly."
"Well, hehe... Actually... the Ai family came to you today because the Ai family suddenly changed their attention." When the Empress said this, her eyes couldn't help but stared at Xiao Li's eyes.
"What?" For a moment, Xiao Li opened her mouth wide in shock. However, she was worried that she was too rude. In a panic, she quickly reached out to cover her mouth. In this way, after a long time, she saw her speak again, "Empress, I'm not hearing it wrong, right?"
However, at this moment, the Empress suddenly shook her head: "You did hear it right. The Ai family knows that this matter must be a little bit unbelievable for you. But the Ai family's words are all true."
"But, why?" This is what Xiao Li wanted to ask the most at this time.
Xiao Li still remembers the scene that happened in the Golden Phoenix Palace a few months ago. However, at this time, how could the Empress suddenly change her attention?
But when the Emperor smiled softly at her, "What else can this kind of thing be caused by?" When she said this, the Empress couldn't help but sigh again and said, "I guess you have seen it too, even if I tried my best to stop Prince Wu from being with you. But what about him? He has never listened to the words of the Ai family."
After hearing this, Xiao Li couldn't help but feel a severe headache.
But the Empress continued, "So, during these days, the Ai family has thought about it carefully. Since Prince Wu is destined to not regress in this matter, it is better to let this palace take a step back."
"But Empress, how can you take a step back just by taking a step back?" Has she considered other people's feelings?
"What I'm talking about?" The Empress seemed very helpless when she heard this.
But soon, she laughed again: "It was absolutely impossible for the Ai family to give in. However, after yesterday's incident, the Ai family finally realized that Prince Wu really likes you very much. And when you were with him, he was indeed very compatible."
What? Are she and Prince Wu? They are so compatible? What is the look of the Queen?
The Empress smiled at her and said, "Really, especially after you two danced that song, the Ai family had to suddenly change their minds. Because over the years, the Ai family had never seen two people as tacitly as you. So the Ai family thought, since even God is destined to let you two be together, why should the Ai family break you up alive?"
Crazy!
Xiao Li felt that she was going crazy.
At this moment, is the queen sitting in front of her still the queen she knows?
Because as Xiao Li knows, the queen not only dislikes her, but also dislikes her parents. With her personality, she definitely does not want to have any relationship with them.
And this time, Xiao Li was preparing to come here to express her feelings to the Queen's Nine Mantras and Eighteen Swearings, and tell her that Xiao Li would never be able to rely on her son as she imagined.
What's more, in her heart, there is no such idea at all, okay? In her heart, she has made up her mind that she will not marry for the rest of her life.
But how could Xiao Li know? In fact, the reason why the Queen suddenly changed her mind was not because she really liked Xiao Li in her heart, nor because the two of them were really so compatible in her eyes.
To put it bluntly, all this is just because the Empress discovered that the relationship between Xiao Li and Huangfu Haotian is probably not simple.
You know, Huangfu Haotian is no longer the fourth prince of the past in the eyes of the Empress.
In fact, the Empress has been paying attention to him secretly in the past two years. However, in the past two years, Huangfu Haotian's performance has always been in a normal manner. Even if he has the prince as his backing, he has never shown any excessive actions.
However, recently, when the Crown Prince's condition became more and more serious, the Fourth Prince Huangfu Haotian showed his amazing talents more and more.
First in the palace, he had already become the right-hand man of the crown prince. Almost all the matters of all sizes in the East Palace were taken care of by the fourth prince. Even the matters under the palace were mostly handled by Huangfu Haotian. Although the crown prince was getting weaker and weaker, he had never missed any of the tasks he should have done, and even more than before, he was doing better and better.
Although no one mentioned the contribution of the Fourth Prince, he could see it very thoroughly in the eyes of the Empress. I am afraid that even the Emperor had already had an account in his heart. Otherwise, last time, he would not have easily agreed to let Huangfu Haotian lead his army north and even appointed him as King Mingcheng in one fell swoop.
Therefore, when the topic returned to Xiao Li, if the person who proposed to the Tianshou Palace yesterday was someone else, the Empress might not be so sensitive. Although Prince Wu suddenly came forward to stop him later, she felt very embarrassed, but after thinking about it, it was fortunate that Prince Wu was impulsive. Otherwise, if the emperor was happy and agreed, the consequences would probably be really unimaginable.
Because in this case, wouldn’t it mean that Huangfu Haotian would form an alliance with the general? Originally, in the heart of the Empress, the fourth prince, King Mingcheng, was already a potential enemy of Prince Wu Huangfu Haobo. If he was allowed to form an alliance with the general, wouldn’t it bring greater threat to Prince Wu’s future?
This is certainly not the result the Empress hoped to see.
So, after thinking about it, the Queen finally made a new decision. Her decision was to start with Xiao Li.
"Ali, the reason why the Ai family sent you here early in the morning is simply to express the Ai family's feelings to you. From now on, you will be relieved. The Ai family has decided that they will never stop you from being together again." When the Empress said this, she smiled at Xiao Li: "And the Ai family has also decided that as long as you two have agreed, the Ai family is willing to come forward and ask the emperor to marry you as soon as possible."
"But the Empress." Xiao Li was anxious for a moment and said quickly: "My lady, you have forgotten in your heart. You have already agreed to Sister Xueer!" Just kidding, Huangfu Haobo clearly had an engagement with Yuwen Ruoxue. So Xiao Li really couldn't understand what the Empress was doing this time?
"What does this matter?" But after hearing what she said, the Empress suddenly laughed at her: "Mo Shi Bu Li, don't you know? Why are the prince of Haobo, so even if he married you two at the same time, what does it matter?"
"But Empress... so how can this be done?" Xiao Li was anxious for a moment, not knowing what she should say to her.
But after seeing her like this, the Empress actually smiled at her again: "Oh... The Ai family understands, aren't you worried about the status and status of you and Axue? As for this, you can rest assured. The Ai family can guarantee you that the emperor will give you two people and be the prince Wu's concubine at the same time."
Speaking of this, the Queen looked at Xiao Li meaningfully, and then suddenly smiled at her: "Even if Prince Wu is really a treasure, the Ai family can also guarantee you that as long as you get the prince at that time, the Golden Phoenix Palace will never fall into the hands of others."
Nimei! Who would care about this one? Xiao Li only felt that for this moment, she was really, even the desire to die.
However, at this time, what she should do most seemed to be to calm herself down first. As the saying goes, she doesn't want to be confused in a hurry, and she will bump into the queen again in a panic. At that time, I'm afraid that no matter how many tricks she has in her heart, she will never be able to use it.
After calming down and thinking about it carefully, Xiao Li seemed to have a little look in her heart.
As for the Queen's character, she was a strong woman who was arbitrary and self-righteous, but she quickly changed her mind overnight. There must be a huge conspiracy between them.
However, what exactly happened in this way could make her quickly change her attention? Could it be... Suddenly, Xiao Li realized a new problem.
Just now, what did the Empress say? Prince Wu became the best treasure, right?
Oh... I understand! Suddenly, Xiao Li's heart understood everything.
After a long time of trouble, it turned out that in the Queen's heart, it was not really because of the mutual affection between her and Prince Wu that she changed her mind, right? In the final analysis, did the Queen fall in love with the power of her Xiao family?
