There is nothing wrong with choosing a husband for a daughter, but it is really too much to look at each other one by one, and possibly look at each other alternately. Besides, this look at each other will do great damage to the woman.
"Didn't your father take you to Xishan?" the queen said with a strange expression. This was the place where one of the prince's family met. The so-called Xishan was also very famous in Li Xiangyi's local area.
"I have been there." Li Xiangyi denied with tears, "My father took me there. He said he was going to the temple to worship his mother. He also brought incense and candles there. I heard that the temple in Xishan is very spiritual. My father took me there."
My daughter-in-law went to worship in the temple, and then I took my daughter-in-law out for a walk. I did meet someone, but I didn't look at each other."
"Your father and someone agreed to meet each other at the temple in Xishan. After that, the two families got quite close. It must have meant that the marriage was about to be completed soon. The other party also sent a lot of gifts to your house.
Although some of it was later returned, not all of it was returned.”
The Queen continued.
"My daughter...my daughter doesn't know these things." Li Xiangyi's tear-stained face was full of horror, and he could hardly believe his ears, "This...how is this possible? Father...father will not hide this from my daughter.
No one would do such a thing without hiding it from my daughter, who is her father’s only daughter.”
As he spoke, he cried again.
Unlike the uncontrollable crying of Ming and Princess Dachang before, Li Xiangyi's crying looked extremely pitiful, and it was even more because of shock that he cried to the point of breaking his heart.
"I don't know what your father did. Does this mean that everything was done by your father and has nothing to do with you?" Ming and the eldest princess asked coldly.
If Li Xiangyi killed Xu Anjiao, she actually didn't believe it, but she just wanted to make Prince Duan lose his face by stepping on Li Xiangyi. ap.
When Jiao'er was around, King Duan didn't take Jiao'er seriously. After Jiao'er passed away, he was scolded by the Queen Mother. King Duan actually didn't even come to the door. Although he secretly showed his kindness again and again, it had no practical effect at all. In the end,
Prince Zhongshan still had a way to let Prince Qi give him a face.
Only then do you have the face to appear in front of others.
Regardless of whether it was a rumor or not, as long as they thought of King Duan quarreling with his granddaughter because of this woman, making her unhappy and even unhappy until her death, Ming and the eldest princess wanted to step on Li Xiangyi's face again.
King Duan's face.
Anyway, she absolutely couldn't bear the quarrel between Li Xiangyi and her granddaughter, but she managed to get along with it in the end and became the concubine of Prince Yong's palace. Why was this all happening?
"My daughter, I really don't know." Li Xiangyi cried and fell to the ground, his voice choked and pitiful.
"The Queen Mother, Prince Yong and Prince Qi are here." The chamberlain came in to report that the other two people attending the meeting had arrived, and they were the last two to arrive.
"Announce them to come in!" said the Queen Mother.
Feng Yi'an and Feng Yu came in. They had had conflicts before, but they seemed to be doing fine now. The two brothers saluted several elders together before sitting down on one side.
Yu Xijiao had already stood up and stepped aside, but her previous position was still closer to the front.
Also standing up was Zhang Wanyin, both of whom were retreating.
After sitting down again, Yu Xijiao sat behind Feng Yu. Next to Feng Lanxiu was Feng Yi'an. Behind Feng Lanxiu was Zhang Wanyin. As for Yu Lizhu, Zhang Wanyin had to sit next to her.
Even if she is the newlywed bride, she is not the home of this party.
"Grandma Huang is already asking, how are you?" Feng Yu said lazily after sitting down, his handsome eyebrows raised, and his attitude seemed pretty good.
"Take a look for yourself." The Queen Mother pointed at the chamberlain's booklet and said.
The chamberlain handed the booklet to Feng Yu. Feng Yu read it from beginning to end and pointed at King Yong. The chamberlain took it and handed it to King Yong Feng Yian.
After reading it, he handed the booklet over again.
"Is your father really responsible for these things?" Feng Yu raised his eyebrows and asked, his voice was clear and elegant, but it also carried an indescribable dignity.
"I don't know, but it's impossible for my father to do such a thing." Li Xiangyi defended himself and his father at the same time.
She is actually holding on with her hands on the ground in fear.
Almost trembling, tears rolled unconsciously in his eyes and fell down one after another.
"Second brother, do you think there is such a thing?" Feng Yu pointed at the booklet and asked, "Is it true?"
"It should be true." Feng Yian's extremely calm voice.
"Yu'er!" The Queen Mother frowned and stopped Feng Yu, for fear that he would say something unpleasant again, "I'll talk about your affairs later. Miss Yu is here. You offended Marquis Xuanping before, and you offended Yu."
Third girl, please give me a present and show your modesty."
The grandson was unwilling to go to Xuanpinghou's house to apologize and refused to listen no matter what he said. The Queen Mother really had a headache. She had promised to Xuanpinghou before, so she had to count. It happened that everyone was here. After a while, she expressed her humility, even if it was
Things settled.
"The Imperial Grandmother is absolutely right." Feng Yu did not go against the Queen Mother's wishes today, which satisfied the Queen Mother. After all, he was her own grandson. She knew that she loved him the most, and she did not allow herself to cause trouble here.
son.
"The Queen Mother, I suspect that both father and daughter are trying to gain fame. The so-called conflict with the clan is just because the two families can't agree on marriage. One wants to climb up the ladder and marry into the clan's family, and the other wants to marry into the clan's family.
She was accepted as a concubine, but after the negotiation failed to work out, the clan's son became evil-minded, but the reason behind it was also the girl's own indiscretion."
Princess Ming and the eldest princess continued.
"Empress Dowager, I really don't know, let alone the matter of seeing each other. Before I came to the capital, my father never told me about the matter of seeing each other. Father...father should not harm my daughter.
How could the father harm his daughter when he has only one daughter?" Li Xiangyi cried, sobbing, weak and timid, and even a little out of breath. He was extremely wronged and pitiful.
Yu Xijiao was behind Feng Yu. At this time, she could peek at Li Xiangyi. Compared with the direct sight of Li Xiangyi just now, with Feng Yu blocking her, she no longer had to stand still and take a breath.
Li Xiangyi said this very cleverly, from disbelief before to "impossible" now.
The level has dropped a lot, which shows that she now feels that her father may have really done such a thing.
However, she is a filial daughter. She never accuses her father of wrongdoing. She is still saying that her father is not guilty, just because of her filial piety.
What a kind woman, such a filial piety that touches the heavens. At this time, she has obviously pushed her father out, but she still shows such an attitude.
"Empress Dowager, how come this woman doesn't know about this kind of thing? Isn't the so-called mutual love meant by her?" Ming and the eldest princess obviously didn't believe it.
Li Xiangyi did not defend himself, only cried lowly: "It's not my father, my father would not do such a thing."
He pinned his father firmly and would not let go until he died!
The Queen Mother opened the booklet and looked at it again, and then she looked strange...
There are confessions in this booklet, but there is indeed nothing about Li Xiangyi. If you look carefully, the so-called "look at each other" means Li Xiangyi's father. After discussing with the matchmaker, he is also Li Xiangyi's father. When they looked at each other, Li Xiangyi's eyes dropped.
There is no emotion or shyness in the son of aristocratic family.
The few people who met each other actually met on the road. They met on the road and said a few words. Li Xiangyi stood aside and said nothing, and did not show any shyness.
One is like this, two are like this, and all four are like this, which makes people feel that Li Xiangyi really doesn't "look at each other", otherwise why would he not be shy or care at all.
Could it be that this was really done by Li's father? It has nothing to do with Li Xiangyi?
"Minghe, have you sent this brochure to the Yamen before?" The Queen Mother raised the brochure in her hand.
"I sent it to you, but Mr. Lu of Dali Temple said that it had nothing to do with the case and asked me to bring it back." Princess Minghe said angrily. Yesterday, she brought the booklet as evidence, but Mr. Lu pushed it away.
When he came back, he said that this matter had nothing to do with the case he wanted to investigate.
"Minghe, no matter what, it's wrong for you to cause trouble in the Duan Palace's marriage!" The Queen Mother put down the book and didn't want to listen to their arguments anymore.
"The Queen Mother... I really didn't know that yesterday was the day when Prince Duan got married. Later, I also left with Jiao'er's spiritual body."
Minghe’s grievance explanation from the eldest princess.
"Since you did leave yesterday, the Ai family will not pursue this matter. As for Li Xiangyi's matter, since Mr. Lu said it has nothing to do with Concubine Xu's case, it must really be nothing. I'm sorry for Concubine Xu's matter.
The Ai family has already promised you that no matter who harmed Concubine Xu, the Ai family will not spare it."
The Queen Mother continued.
"Thank you so much, Queen Mother." Princess Minghe said with tears.
"As for Li Xiangyi's matter, the Ai family will have people investigate it, but it is not the same thing as Concubine Xu's matter." The Queen Mother handled the matter calmly.
"Yes!" Ming and the eldest princess no longer dared to be arrogant in front of the Queen Mother.
"You are not in good health. Go back and have a good rest. Dali Temple will notify you immediately if there is any news. As for Concubine Xu's tomb, Princess Duan will come to welcome her at the door soon," the Queen Mother said.
This can be regarded as giving face to Princess Minghe. After all, Zhang Wanyin is the main concubine and Xu Anjiao is just a side concubine.
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness." The eldest princess Minghe bowed to the ground and thanked her. Knowing that she could no longer stare at Li Xiangyi at this moment, she stood up, supported the maid and left with trembling hands.
What happened next had nothing to do with her.
The Queen Mother didn't punish her because it was for her and her granddaughter's sake. Of course, there was a big reason why she didn't cry or make a fuss this time.
The Prince of Zhongshan was indeed right. She couldn't just be tough. When she turned around, there was a trace of ridicule on her face. She didn't believe that this woman named Li Xiangyi could still get away with it...
The royal family values reputation, but the royal family cannot let a lowly woman play with it...
