"Mu Guiying Takes Command" is being sung on the stage.
The heroic woman was wearing armor, holding a long tasseled spear in her hand, and her eyes were firm. She said: "The loud sound of the golden drum and the sound of the horns evoked my ambition to conquer the sky..."
Not to mention others, even Luo Ran himself couldn't help but feel his blood surging all over. Not to mention the men separated by a screen. Those who have been on the battlefield all remember the bloody years of galloping on the battlefield.
"good!"
"good!"
The cheers came one after another.
Across the screen, Luo Ran couldn't see someone's face clearly, and wondered if he was nostalgic for those frontier years at this time.
It must be so. He had just returned from the northwest. Later, she also heard from Changying and Changyun that they almost died in the desert. Although it was easy to talk about it later, she knew that those were years that no one could forget.
It continues on the stage.
Lu Yuanyuan looked at Luo Ran's side face and whispered: "When we came out just now, we saw Xie Ying still with Mrs. Xie. Now she ran to the stage. It seems that she was well prepared. Ranran, You have to be careful."
Luo Ran turned his head blankly.
Lu Yuanyuan thought she didn't understand, and was so angry that she wanted to pinch her, and said: "Don't say you don't know why Xie Ying is acting out today, she is clearly here for Brother Yan Hui!"
"Um."
Luo Ran responded lightly.
Lu Yuanyuan became even more anxious and simply said: "Sister Ran, there was something I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would overthink it. When Brother Yan Hui just returned to Beijing..."
"Xie Ying looked for him."
Luo Ran continued.
Lu Yuanyuan opened her eyes wide: "You, you know?"
Luo Ran nodded and looked towards the stage.
As soon as the play was finished, Xie Ying went down to change her clothes.
The emperor seemed very happy and looked at Xie Hang and said: "Miss Xie really has the character of the Xie family, not bad!"
Xie Hang hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty is so complimentary."
The emperor laughed: "Thank you, Aiqing, there is no need to be modest. Anyone who comes will be rewarded!"
"yes!"
Li Baolin hurriedly went to the back to announce the reward.
After a while, Xie Ying came out after changing her clothes. The makeup was gone from her face, and she was wearing a moon-white plain dress that was fresh and elegant, yet not lacking in heroic appearance.
The queen also ordered people to reward her. She turned around and looked at Mrs. Xie with a smile, and asked: "How old is Miss Xie this year? Is she married to anyone?"
Mrs. Wei stood up quickly and said, "To tell you the story of the queen, my daughter just got hairpins this spring, and I am reluctant to part with her. She wants to stay for two more years."
The queen nodded: "Yes, I would not be able to part with such a good child. However, it is said that if a girl is not allowed to stay, she will become enemies if she stays. It is better to decide on the marriage while she is still young. .”
Wei said: "What the empress said is absolutely true."
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Luo Ran always felt that when the two of them were talking, their eyes seemed to glance here.
Of course she could guess Xie Ying's purpose.
But she also remembered that Xie Ying had told her before that she would never be a concubine.
She wanted to see if the Xie family planned to wrong Xie Ying, or how they would persuade Fu Jinan to divorce her and marry another woman.
The words of the Queen and Mrs. Wei could be heard clearly on the other side of the screen.
The emperor just lowered his eyes and drank tea without saying anything.
The queen held Xie Ying's hand as if she couldn't put it down.
Concubine Liu had just held her breath in Fengqi Palace. Seeing that the queen was targeting the Xie family again, she suddenly smiled and said: "If the queen likes it, just betroth Miss Xie to the queen as a concubine. Just in time. The Crown Princess is pregnant now. If Miss Xie is so capable, she will definitely help the Crown Princess take care of the East Palace. Crown Princess, don’t you think so?"
Yue Wanhe smiled slightly, and did not look at Xie Ying. Instead, he looked at the other side of the screen and said, "This matter still depends on the father and mother."
Concubine Liu Guifei raised her eyebrows, as if she had just seen Luo Ran, and patted her thigh and said: "Queen, you have forgotten someone!"
The queen raised her eyebrows: "Oh?"
Concubine Liu looked at Luo Ran and said: "Prince Xuan! There is only one woman in Prince Xuan's palace now, Concubine Xuan. I'm afraid there is no one to talk to on weekdays. Miss Xie and Prince Xuan are cousins. Isn't this a good thing to be married to each other? Your Majesty ! Do you think what I said is right?"
Concubine Liu deliberately raised her voice, and her voice spread along the screen.
The emperor smiled and looked at Fu Jinan.
Fu Jin'an stood up and said, "Thank you very much for Concubine Liu's kindness. It's better to marry Miss Xie to Captain Liu. I heard that Mrs. Kang Lehou has been having a headache recently because of Captain Liu's marriage!"
Mrs. Kang Lehou over there was so anxious that she almost stood up, but was suppressed by Concubine Liu Guifei's look.
Seeing everyone pushing her around like a toy, Xie Ying knelt down with a pale face, endured the grievance and said without being humble or arrogant: "Queen, concubine, I appreciate your good intentions. It's just that I don't have it now. I have no idea of getting married!”
"you……"
As soon as Concubine Liu opened her mouth, she heard the emperor scold her: "Nonsense!"
The emperor glanced at Xie Hang, who had a somewhat bad expression on his face, and said, "Is this how you learned the rules of discussing a woman's marriage in public?"
"I don't dare!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
The queen and Concubine Liu quickly bowed and admitted their mistake.
Everyone also stood up.
After such an episode, the emperor seemed to have lost interest and walked away with a flick of his sleeves.
Mrs. Wei went down to comfort Xie Ying and left her seat.
Concubine Liu Guifei muttered: "I didn't say anything, why are you crying?"
Everyone pretended not to hear and continued to listen to the show.
In a side hall, Mrs. Wei wiped the tears on Xie Ying's face with a handkerchief, and said with some distress: "You, you, tell me why this is so difficult? If you really like him, let your grandfather beg the emperor. . According to Yi Niang, the emperor also had that intention just now."
Xie Ying shook her head and wiped the tears from her eyes. She still looked aggrieved and weak just now. She took Wei's hand and said, "Mom, my grandfather is right. King Xuan is an untamed wolf. People like him, You force him to be stronger. You can't force him, you can only find a way. I was negligent last time at Fahua Temple, and I was a little impatient when I came back. He already had a bad impression of me. If my grandfather asks the emperor again at this time, Purpose will only be counterproductive."
Wei nodded: "Then what are you going to do next? I think Luo Ran has a soft temper, so you might as well start with her."
Xie Ying nodded: "Mother is right, my daughter also has this intention."
"By the way, Mom, did you watch when my daughter was on stage just now?"
Xie Ying's eyes were bright and full of expectation.
Mrs. Wei lovingly brushed away the broken hair from her forehead and said proudly: "My daughter is so outstanding, who wouldn't like her!"
"real?!"
Xie Ying held Wei's hand with both hands and said in surprise.
Mrs. Wei nodded and said, "Mother specially looked through the gap in the screen. Although King Xuan didn't look at you all the time, when you were singing, his fingers unconsciously followed the beat, and his eyes were closed, as if he was intoxicated."
Xie Ying listened, her cheeks turned red and she lowered her head shyly.
