Marquis Ningyuan held a large number of troops and was trusted by the emperor. He was originally the target of the struggle for imperial power. However, Marquis Ningyuan had always been close to the emperor and was impartial to the prince and the seventh prince. So gradually, they made their plans. On Xu Qingmo and Xu Yanquan.
Mrs. Xu stayed in the Queen's Palace for several hours, and she took a lot of tonics with her when she left. On the carriage back, Xu Qingmo leaned against the window and said lightly: "I met the prince in the Imperial Garden! "
Mrs. Xu raised her eyes and looked at Xu Qingmo, frowning slightly: "What then?"
"He talked to me for a while, but in the end it was no longer interesting, so he left!" Xu Qingmo didn't even look back.
"None of the people in the palace are good people. You must not get involved!" Madam Xu said with a serious face.
Xu Qingmo paused for a moment, then looked back at Madam Xu: "The Queen is my mother's cousin. Why did my mother say that?"
"She is the queen first, and then my cousin!" Mrs. Xu said calmly, "Things there are very messy. If you have nothing to do from now on, don't go to the palace!"
"If you hadn't pulled me along today, I wouldn't have gone!" Xu Qingmo turned back and continued to look out the window at the busy streets, watching the vendors selling candied haws go by.
Mrs. Xu was a little embarrassed, but she still said: "I understand, I won't let you go from now on!"
It happened that the hawker selling candied haws came to the side of the carriage. Xu Qingmo stretched out his hand and pulled one out. Just as the hawker was about to speak, a white thing fell in front of his eyes. When he caught it, he saw that it was a broken piece of silver.
The hawker's eyes lit up, he looked at the carriage slowly leaving, and shouted: "Thank you, girl!"
Xu Qingmo sat back in the carriage, took a bite of the candied haws, his eyes filled with stars.
"Didn't you like eating this stuff before?" Madam Xu was a little surprised.
"I love eating it now!" Xu Qingmo smiled.
Mrs. Xu didn’t ask any more questions.
The queen in the palace had a meal with the emperor, and finally waited for others to leave. As soon as she sat down to rest for a while, the palace attendant accompanying Xu Qingmo walked in: "Your Majesty!"
The queen picked up the tea cup and took a sip. She took a long breath and then said, "Say it!"
"Back to your Majesty, the Xu family girl met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when she was in the Imperial Garden!" The palace man lowered his head and said softly.
The queen's eyebrows raised slightly, then immediately returned to normal: "Then what?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is quite enthusiastic about Miss Xu, but Miss Xu has always been indifferent and seems to be a little bored!" The palace servant still lowered his head, "I have tested Miss Xu. This girl does not seem to like His Highness the Crown Prince being so gentle. men, on the contrary, they prefer men who are strong and powerful!”
"It's rare, my daughter, who doesn't like a handsome young man?" The queen smiled and put down the cup in her hand, "I'm afraid I'm just pretending not to care, but my heart has already been pounding!"
Huizhu, the palace servant who had been accompanying the queen, walked up to the queen and said softly: "The queen, I think this may be true!"
The queen was stunned for a moment, waved her hand, and the palace servant kneeling in front of her quickly left. She looked up at Huizhu: "What do you mean?"
Huizhu looked at the queen and said softly: "Miss Xu lost her mother when she was young. She has always been raised by Mrs. Xu herself. I'm afraid her temperament is similar to Mrs. Xu's!"
The queen pondered.
In the draft that year, Mrs. Xu was originally one of them. Her status was not lower than hers, but she was arrogant and refused to enter the palace. She pretended to be ill at home and would rather die than be the emperor's concubine!
You know, Mrs. Xu's appearance has always been better than hers, and her figure is also really good. If she enters the palace, she will definitely be favored! By then, it’s hard to say who will be the queen!
Later, when the queen succeeded to the throne, Mrs. Xu married Marquis Ningyuan to fill the house. She summoned Mrs. Xu into the palace and asked her why she chose Marquis Ningyuan. Mrs. Xu said this: "He is handsome and powerful." , unlike my brothers, who only know how to read and are very weak!"
Therefore, as Huizhu said, Xu Qingmo may really like people who practice martial arts.
"Even so, she is still a disaster!" The Queen lowered her eyes, "This child is so beautiful. If you haven't seen it? When she raised her head, His Majesty was so lost in sight that he couldn't save the prince, so he became interested. You are only fourteen years old, and you are already like this, how can you do it again?"
"It's true that in the capital, the prime minister's granddaughter is always praised, saying that she is the most beautiful girl in the city and the country. The servants look at it, and this girl Xu is actually more outstanding!" Huizhu said with a smile, "Maybe she has seen too many sick Xishi, she Chaoyang It’s like fire, it’s especially exciting!”
The queen just shook her head: "Don't forget, her biological mother has been famous for her beauty since ancient times. Marquis Ningyuan was even more handsome when he was young. His two children are naturally among the best in appearance!"
Huizhu nodded but said no more.
The queen was silent for a long time, finished a cup of tea, and when Huizhu gave him more tea, she said: "Let Ran'er meet Xu Qingmo!"
Huizhu was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I understand, slave!"
Xu Qingmo, who returned to the house, was practicing in the yard with a sword when he suddenly felt a chill running down his spine and shivered suddenly.
Xu Qingmo suddenly turned around and looked behind him, but found no one. Qu Lian quickly stepped forward: "Girl, what's wrong?"
Xu Qingmo handed the sword in his hand to Qu Lian, took the handkerchief and wiped his sweat: "It's nothing, I just suddenly felt like someone was plotting to kill me!"
Qu Lian was a little confused: "Huh?"
Xu Qingmo smiled and shook his head: "Nothing! How is the situation in the next courtyard?"
"Nothing happened!" Qu Lian shook his head, "Since Madam knew that the second girl had teamed up with outsiders to harm the prince, she had taken care of both houses. Not even a mosquito could fly out, let alone the news. She probably hasn't yet Know what happened!"
"Mom wants to wait for father and uncle to come back before dealing with this matter!" Xu Qingmo put down the handkerchief in his hand, picked up a glass of warm water, and sipped it, "Although I don't know what happened in the yard over there, I definitely know. problem occurs!"
Qu Lian nodded: "Yes, I send people over from time to time these days, sometimes bringing snacks to the prince, sometimes sending nourishing soup to the prince. I always try my best to see the prince!"
"Probably I want to confirm how my brother is doing!" Xu Qingmo's eyes were cold, with a hint of murderous intent.
"Then what are we going to do?" Qu Lian asked.
"If we want to defeat him, we must create chaos!" Xu Qingmo squinted his eyes, "Find a way to let them know that nothing happened to the eldest brother and he will be fine, but Lin Shaoyang has been punished by the family!"
