Wen Xiangyanyu

At three o'clock, Ling Qiyan walked into Fengyi Palace absent-mindedly, waited in the main hall for a while, stretched his waist and yawned, when Shen Shi finally appeared, sat on the main seat, and said coldly: "Kneel down!" .”

Ling Qiyan curled his lips, and knelt down on the ground dawdly.

It has been more than four years since he left the palace to open the mansion at the age of 12. He hadn't set foot in the Fengyi Palace for more than four years. If the Shen family hadn't specially sent someone to his mansion this time, he wouldn't have come here at all. He knew he had entered this place. door, scolding is not enough to escape.

Shen's face was full of anger: "You are so arrogant, I asked someone to summon you to enter the palace, and you deliberately delayed your arrival until this hour. You don't take me seriously at all, do you?"

Ling Qiyan didn't take it seriously: "The queen mother didn't pay much attention to the minister, so just speak up if you have something to say, why bother talking so much nonsense."

"You're presumptuous!" Shen yelled angrily, "You still dare to talk back! What did you do yesterday at the Zhuangzi of Duke Wei's mansion, do you need this palace to remind you?!"

"Oh," Ling Qiyan dragged out his voice, and said without hesitation, "Mrs. Wei Guogong and Mrs. Huainan handed over the sign to the palace early in the morning to report to the son and minister. The queen mother listened and believed it, and did not give it to the son for herself. If you don't have the opportunity to argue, you'll decide it's my son's fault, so there's nothing else to say."

He had already heard about it on the way here. As soon as the palace gate opened early in the morning, Shen Xingyao and the kid whose tongue was cut off by him went to Fengyi Palace crying, and told him in front of the queen. After hearing the complaint, Mrs. Shen immediately sent someone to his residence, telling him to enter the palace to ask the teacher for his crimes.

Seeing his attitude, Shen became more and more angry, and slapped the case table: "Are you right?! The Huainan uncle's mansion has been loyal and good for generations, and you cut off the tongue of the son-in-law without saying a word! Xing Yao Even your cousin, you kicked him until he vomited blood and passed out! What do you have to argue?!"

Ling Qiyan was dissatisfied: "They hijacked the visitors of the son's house first, and then arranged the son's court in public with obscene language. It's not just the face of the son, because they don't pay attention to the royal family, what's wrong with the son? ?”

"Don't bring up the royal family as a cover for your bad behavior! What kind of doorman, what kind of decent doorman can you accept like this?! Even if others say something bad, it's your own fault! If you behave and sit upright, others What can I arrange for you?! You have been dissolute all day long, and you have truly lost the face of the royal family by causing those gossips!"

Ling Qiyan opened the corner of his mouth and sneered: "My mother's words are wrong. Wen Ying is the head of the case in Jizhou, and the number one scholar praised by everyone in the Imperial College. He is the most serious, but your good nephew. , hang around in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, contracted a disease and was expelled from the Imperial College, who is the one who is so dissolute? I think the face of the Shen family must have been thrown away by my good cousin."

"Shut up, Bengong!" Shen Shi was extremely angry, and stepped forward, slapped Ling Qiyan's face, and the sharp nails scraped two bloodstains on his fair cheeks.

Ling Qiyan was stunned for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, she smiled and looked at Shen Shili with contempt and ridicule in her eyes.

Shen Shi was so agitated by his expression that she raised her hand and wanted to slap her a second time. When she fell, Ling Qiyan grabbed her wrist forcefully and pushed her back.

Caught off guard, Shen staggered two steps back, if she hadn't been supported by the maid behind her, she would have fallen to the ground.

After standing still, Shen Shi was trembling with anger, furious, and her face soaked in anger was almost twisted: "Okay, okay! If you dare to attack Ben Gong, I will beat you to death today! I have never given birth to you, a bastard!! Come on! Bring me a whip!"

The sixth prince Ling Qining, who was hiding outside the door and eavesdropping, was startled, gritted his teeth, turned around and ran towards Ningshou Palace.

The chief eunuch of Fengyi Palace took the whip they usually used to beat offenders in the palace, knelt on the ground tremblingly and advised Shen: "Madam, Your Highness is weak, you can't do it..."

Ling Qiyan clenched her fists tightly and clenched her teeth.

Shen picked up the whip with her own hands, and gritted her teeth: "Shut up, Ben Gong! No one is allowed to intercede with this beast! Today, Ben Gong must beat this beast to death!"

Ling Qining ran to Ningshou Palace at the fastest speed, without regard to etiquette, rushed in sweating profusely, and shouted after entering the door: "Grandmother, go and save elder brother! The queen mother is going to punish elder brother!"

The queen mother was closing her eyes and resting her mind, when she heard this, she frowned and opened her eyes: "Ning'er, what did you say?"

Ling Qining wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said anxiously: "Grandmother, hurry up and persuade the queen mother, she is going to whip the elder brother!"

The Empress Dowager's face darkened immediately: "It's unreasonable! She must be crazy!"

In Fengyi Palace, Mrs. Shen raised the whip and lashed towards Ling Qiyan's back. Ling Qiyan bent over and rolled on the ground very quickly, but was still brought by the whip wind, and a burst of waves rose from his back immediately. Burning pain.

Shen is especially puzzled, when she thinks that this kid has restrained herself since birth, and is devoted to that old woman, and now he dares to do anything to her queen mother, she hates to bleed, and wants to whip the second time, the queen mother is already in the same room. Surrounded by all the palace people, they stepped into the door and ordered sharply: "Go and take the whip from her hand!"

A stout Ningshou Palace nanny stepped forward and snatched away the whip. Shen raised her head with red eyes and stared fiercely at the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager ordered the eunuch beside her to help Ling Qiyan up, and asked coldly: After all, my son is your own son, do you really want to beat him to death?"

Shen said angrily: "Since the mother knows that he is my own son! He did such a ridiculous thing! Don't I have the right to discipline him?!"

The Empress Dowager was furious when she heard the words: "I knew about Yan'er when you told him to enter the palace, and I specially sent someone over a little later to give you a chance to discipline him. I thought you would be good at reasoning with him." , I didn’t expect that your so-called discipline is to use the whip to whip someone to death, if I come later today, will I have to come to collect my grandson’s body?!”

Before Chen Shi could argue, the Queen Mother scolded again angrily: "You still know that Yan'er is also your own son? But your thoughts are too much. You are partial to Yu'er and Ning'er, but now you have to do it for your natal nephew. Come to have a banquet, a queen like you can't even be a mother, talk about He Muyi world!"

In an instant, Shen burst into tears, and her body was on the verge of falling. The Empress Dowager's words were very serious, and she even questioned that she was unworthy of being a mother and not worthy of being a queen. She was full of grievances and injustices, but she could not contradict the Empress Dowager.

Ling Qining, who followed in, carefully tugged on the Queen Mother's sleeve, begging her: "Grandmother, Queen Mother didn't do it on purpose..."

Ling Qiyan was helped to sit aside, lowered his head, and said nothing.

The atmosphere in the hall was tense for a while, until the eunuch's communication sounded outside, saying that the emperor and the prince had arrived.

Ling Qiyu followed the emperor into the door, his eyes swept over Shen Shi who was holding the veil tightly, and fell on Ling Qiyan who couldn't see the expression clearly with downcast eyes, and paused slightly.

The emperor and the queen mother greeted and explained embarrassingly. He and the crown prince summoned officials to discuss matters in the previous court. After hearing the message from the person sent by Ling Qining, they came to have a look: "Mother, why are you so angry that you have to travel all the way so far? Come to Fengyi Palace..."

The queen mother interrupted him angrily: "If I don't come here in person, Yan'er will be beaten to death by your good queen!"

"The queen is also eager to teach her son..."

"The godson is eager to treat Yan'er by beating and scolding servants?! What does she think of Yan'er?!"

"Grandmother calm down," Ling Qiyu interjected in a low voice, "Mother's mother must have been in a hurry and didn't think about it. The grandson was also present for what happened yesterday. It was my cousin and the others who were at fault first, and said some nasty words to slander my elder brother. But the eldest brother's reaction was really too aggressive, he kicked his cousin until he vomited blood and passed out, and cut off the tongue of Uncle Huainan's son. The wives of the two families came to the palace early in the morning to cry with the queen mother, if the mother did not punish the eldest brother, it would be difficult to explain to them , if the matter spreads out, it will also harm the reputation of the eldest brother."

"I don't care about this," the queen mother said angrily, "I only know that Yan'er is my grandson, and the boys in Weiguo's mansion and Huainan uncle's mansion are to blame. It's your job to compensate and appease them. You just can't touch my grandson!"

The emperor was very helpless: "Mother, isn't it unreasonable for you to behave like this..."

"Am I unreasonable or are you unreasonable?! Okay, you are the emperor now, and your wings are hardened. I can't control you anymore. You all think that the banquet is not pleasing to the eye, and you have long wanted to drive him out of Beijing. You think I won't You know? Just make a decree, give Yan'er a piece of land, and I will go to the land with him, and we, grandparents and grandchildren, will live together together! I won't come here to hinder your eyes!"

The emperor was shocked: "The queen mother can't do this. What are you doing? Why do you have to do this? Can't we discuss things?"

"There is nothing to discuss, this matter is as it is, if any of you dare to move a finger, old lady, I will fight with you!" The queen mother left these words and ordered her palace servants to help Ling Qiyan, and no longer Pay attention to the others and leave directly.

After leaving the gate of Fengyi Palace, Ling Qiyan sat in the sedan chair with the queen mother, grinned and grunted, and began to cry out in pain. The queen mother took his hand and kept wiping away tears: "Next time your mother will pass you in." Gong teaches you, you go directly to grandma, just say grandma told you to go, ignore her."

"Grandson is fine, grandma loves grandson, grandson is not afraid." Ling Qiyan pretended to be obedient, coaxing the old lady, and the tone in his heart was finally smooth.

The queen mother touched his face: "Poor child, grandma doesn't love you, no one loves you anymore."

Going back to Ningshou Palace, the imperial physician is already waiting here, dressing Ling Qiyan with medicine.

He dodged that whip quickly, and the injury was not serious, but his skin was white and tender, the red mark was still quite conspicuous, and there were scratches on his face, and some medicine was applied.

The queen mother saw that she was about to wipe her tears again, and couldn't help blaming him: "You said you child, who has this temper like someone, why don't you know how to restrain yourself properly, and insist on conflicting with those bastards, you don't have any What's the deal, and what's the matter with the doorman? Is it really what others said?"

"How can that be?" Ling Qiyan opened his eyes and said nonsense, "Wen Ying is both civil and military. He can give his grandson a face, and his grandson loves it. It's all Shen Xingyao's people who can't spit ivory from their mouths. Shen Xingyao and him It's not such a good thing to use Wen Ying's idea, but people don't want to, so they want to use strong ones."

As for the fact that he and Wen Ying were hugging each other last night, Ling Qiyan was determined not to admit it.

"Is that person really the chief of Jizhou's triad?"

"Yes, he is highly educated. Everyone in the Imperial College praises him. He will definitely be able to enter high school next year."

When Ling Qiyan said this, the queen mother felt relieved: "Then it's good for you to play with him, and you can also study more with him."

Ling Qiyan chuckled, feeling a little guilty.

The queen mother sighed for a while, and then said something else: "You are not young anymore, it is better to settle this marriage earlier, so as to avoid gossip outside, if you were married early, how could others make arrangements for you? That girl Xihua is the best, but your aunt doesn't seem too happy..."

"No," Ling Qiyan hurriedly interrupted her, "Grandma, please do me a favor, don't put Xihua on me, if I really want to marry her, she can tear down my mansion, how can I return the rest of my life?" Have a peaceful life."

The queen mother was amused by his few words: "Is it that exaggerated? I think you two had a good relationship when you were young, and that girl also likes you very much."

Ling Qiyan curled her lips, that girl likes him as a ghost, and it is true that she wants to rob him.

Seeing his bitter face, the queen mother had no choice but to forget it: "Forget it, the twisted melon is not sweet, let me have a look again, this time I will definitely pick a good one for you."
