[R18] Dali Temple.Qing (Shuangjie solves the case 1v1) – “Dali Temple. Qing (Shuangjie solves the case 1v1)” Chapter 56 Proposal for Marriage [English]
byLin Wanqing felt as if her breath was being strangled, her knees went weak for a moment, and the first thought that came to her mind was “escape”.
She thought so, so she did it.
But Su Moyi seemed to have expected it. The hand holding her wrist was secretly clasped tightly, and he pulled her back before Lin Wanqing had time to gather strength.
The Queen Mother didn’t seem to expect that the laughter stopped the moment she saw Lin Wanqing.
The candlelight in the main hall was bright, but the atmosphere was extremely gloomy.
Su Moyi swung her wide sleeves and held Lin Wanqing’s hand. Just as she was about to salute the Queen Mother, she heard the person in the first place breathing heavier and heavier, like she was panting hard from anger.
The next moment, a white thing hit the two of them in front of their faces.
Su Moyi caught it with quick eyes and hands – it was an empty tea pot.
He didn’t expect the Queen Mother to have such a violent reaction. He was holding the tea pot and was a little at a loss.
“You, you, you…”
The Queen Mother’s face was pale, but her eyes seemed to be on fire as she stared at Su Moyi. She was so angry that she said “you” for a long time, but she didn’t say it completely.
Everyone present was stunned, including Lin Wanqing.
Everyone was silent in tacit agreement. Seeing the Queen Mother pointing at Su Moyi, her jaw trembled as if it was about to drop.
She then picked up another tea pot, this time throwing it towards Lin Wanqing’s head.
Su Moyi turned sideways and held the person tightly in her arms.
The Queen Mother was even more angry.
So, she simply jumped down, chased Su Moyi and Lin Wanqing and beat them up.
Su Moyi was so confused that she didn’t dare to resist, but at the same time she had to protect Lin Wanqing, who was even more confused than he.
The Queen Mother was furious for no reason, and the people waiting on the scene only dared to persuade her, and no one dared to actually step forward to start a fight.The main hall suddenly became noisy and noisy.
The fine white porcelain was smashed to pieces, the candles were staggered here and there, and even the mahogany chairs in the hall flew out with a clang.
In the chaos, Su Moyi finally heard the words that the imperial grandmother was mumbling.
“You just went to the brothel, but now you dare to bring me back to the Prince’s Mansion?!”
Su Moyi and Lin Wanqing stopped at the same time.
“Are you going to a brothel?” Lin Wanqing turned to look at Su Moyi.
“Shall I go to the brothel?” Su Moyi turned to look at the Queen Mother.
“Crack!”
It was the shattering sound of a tea pot hitting someone’s skull.
The Queen Mother looked at the green bump on Su Moyi’s forehead that she had knocked out, and finally calmed down. Then she held her hair in a bun that was about to fall apart and said, “The Ai family sent people to follow you before and found that you were staying in Pingkangfang overnight. Do you recognize it?”
“I…” Su Moyi was speechless, silently thinking about whether the outcome would be better if he told the Queen Mother that it was just to fool her.
Seeing that he didn’t speak, the Queen Mother was so angry that she slapped the tea pot in her hand on the table and continued: “Later, you were injured while working on the case, which made the Ai family feel sad. Thinking that you are over the age of 10 and don’t even have a wife by your side, just go to a brothel. It will be better than fooling around with Lin Lushi next to you. But you ended up getting into trouble, didn’t you?!”
“I…” Lin Wanqing was at a loss for words, torn between pretending that she was a brothel girl or confessing that she was the Lin Lu who was fooling around with Su Moyi.
When the Queen Mother saw that neither of them spoke, she just thought they had acquiesced. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she wanted to mention Su Moyi’s ears.
“Crack!”
Su Moyi ducked sideways and quickly grabbed the Queen Mother’s hand.
Are you kidding me, having my ears plucked by an elder in front of the woman I love, how can I maintain my husband’s integrity for the rest of my life?
With a gasp from around her, Su Moyi finally spoke slowly.
“Grandma Huang has misunderstood,” he said as he pulled Lin Wanqing in his arms behind him, “Qingqing is not a brothel girl, she is…”
He paused, let go of the Queen Mother, and took out a candle so that she could see Lin Wanqing’s face clearly.
“She is Lin Wanqing, the person that my grandson wants to marry.”
The Queen Mother’s breathing stopped for just a moment. She was stunned for a moment, and then she approached Lin Wanqing’s face suspiciously.
Su Moyi was afraid that she would make a sudden move again, so she quickly stood in front of her, keeping a safe distance between the two of them with her body.
“This is…” the Queen Mother asked in disbelief, “that Lin Lu thing?”
“Hmm, um…” Su Moyi nodded and protected her tightly.
“Then…she, she…”
“It’s a woman.” Su Moyi answered.
The spring breeze turns into snow, and the willows are dark and the flowers are bright.
The Queen Mother’s expression softened visibly, and the haze of thunderous fury just now was replaced by the soft and warm firelight that filled the room.
Only then did Su Moyi dare to pull Lin Wanqing out from behind.
After experiencing the previous stimulation, Lin Wanqing felt that even if Su Moyi brought out an aunt now, as long as she was from a good family and a woman, the Queen Mother would probably no longer be so angry.
As expected, her mood calmed down a lot, and she just looked at Lin Wanqing silently. Although she was not surprised, she didn’t get angry anymore.
But Lin Wanqing’s eyes still sent chills down her spine.
“Mother Ji,” the Queen Mother ordered the people around her: “You all should take Lin Lu and leave first. The Ai family has something to talk to Jing Che.”
Everyone in the room retreated, and only the grandfather and grandson were left in the main hall of the huge Prince’s Mansion.
The Queen Mother sat back on her seat, straightened her clothes, looked at Su Moyi and asked nonchalantly, “When did it happen?”
Su Mo Yi walked over, his eyes fell on the candlelight swaying in the night wind, and after a while he said: “It was probably the time when Hongzhou was tested by Zhang Ren, and she risked her life to save him.”
The Queen Mother took a breath when she heard this.
She had known before that Su Moyi was in danger in Hongzhou, but she never imagined that her life was hanging by a thread.
Therefore, she was shocked when she heard this, but after this surprise, a little joy of surviving the disaster emerged in her heart, and her eyes looked a little softer when she looked at the delicate figure outside the door.
“But she disguised herself as a man to participate in the imperial examination, and she was able to sneak into the officialdom.” She paused, her tone full of worry, “The Ai family doesn’t know if she is relying on her own ability, or if there is someone behind the scenes who wants to use her to deliberately get close to you.”
Su Moyi smiled calmly, turned her gaze away from the candlelight, and said, “Grandma Huang, you worry too much.”
He turned his head and his eyes fell on the beautiful figure outside the door, with some rare tenderness and seriousness in his eyes.
“She has some skills in prison. But she still relies on a bit of luck to be able to work by my side.”
Su Moyi lowered her head and pursed her lips, as if she had thought of something funny, “If she hadn’t met me, she would have been unable to survive in Shengjing’s official circles, and would have been dismissed and returned home.”
The Queen Mother frowned slightly and looked at Su Moyi silently.
Why Hongzhou risked his life to save her, even if it was just when he realized his feelings, but her grandson has always been slow to deal with Fengyue.
If you want to talk about heartbeat, it probably starts from the moment when he jumped into the lake to save someone.
I think he went to Pingkangfang before, probably to protect Lin Wanqing.Otherwise, how could she know Lin Wanqing’s identity as a woman until now?
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother felt increasingly unhappy.
It’s not because Su Moyi suddenly brought someone back and said he wanted to marry her, but it’s rare to see this person care so much about someone.
She simply snorted and turned her head, not wanting to see the silly look on He’s face.
“Then what are you going to do now?” The Queen Mother deliberately provoked him, raising her voice high.
Su Moyi took a few steps closer, stretched out her hand to pour her a cup of tea, and thoughtfully tested the temperature. She handed it to her and said with a low eyebrow, “Your Majesty, you know what you’re asking.”
The Queen Mother almost dropped her jaw in shock.
You know, Su Moyi always has a nonchalant attitude on weekdays, and even the emperor would never want to be subdued.
Now this obedient and begging look can only be seen when the sun rises in the west.
The Queen Mother was immediately coaxed to a point of happiness. She took the tea cup and took a sip and said, “Don’t you just want the Ai family to find a suitable mother’s family for her, give her a title, and raise her status so that she can legitimately take the position of your concubine?”
Su Moyi lowered his eyes and nodded, his ears turning red silently.
The Queen Mother was really amused and amused by He’s new-found love. She couldn’t help but joke: “Go, go, stay away. Don’t hang around in front of the Ai family with this look. It will make you feel sick.”
“Then this matter…” Su Moyi was reluctant to give up when she didn’t get a clear answer.
Seeing how angry he was, the Queen Mother really wanted to kick him out. “You, Mr. Su, who never asks for help, speak up. This is treatment that even the emperor has never enjoyed. Can the Yi family refuse?”
Su Moyi was stunned for a moment, and it took her a moment to realize that the Queen Mother was right.
The Queen Mother laughed in her heart when she saw he’s stunned look, “On the first day of next month, there will be a family banquet held in the palace. You can bring her here to make her familiar with the royal family members and get some news to build some momentum. It will be convenient for you to choose your mother’s house then.”
When Su Moyi heard this, she was so happy that she even forgot to thank her. She lifted up her robe and walked out the door.
And the queen mother who was sitting here looked at he’s anxious look, and suddenly felt like a pig she had raised for many years, and she couldn’t wait to go to someone else’s cabbage, and she couldn’t help but feel sad in her heart.
“Jing Che!” She suddenly thought of something and called Su Moyi, “You have to ask the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Personnel to look for her household registration certificate together. This identity must be presented in a decent way, so as not to gossip behind the scenes with the noble ladies she wants to make friends with after she marries you.”
Su Moyi didn’t even look back, only leaving a hasty “Oh”.
In the open space outside the main hall, the moonlight was clear, casting a delicate shadow on the polished white jade railing.
Lin Wanqing had been pacing anxiously, back and forth, and occasionally made eye contact with the maid beside her who was also waiting outside, and could only smile awkwardly.
Su Moyi had been there for so long, and she didn’t know what the Queen Mother had said to him.
The more she thought about it, the more upset she became, so she craned her neck to look inside the house.
“Ahem…” Nanny Ji coughed twice as a reminder, and Lin Wanqing timidly retracted her neck.
“Well… that…” The atmosphere was too silent, and she could only find some words to ease her mood, “Does my dress today look like a flower girl in a brothel?”
Mother Ji was stunned when she was asked, but she still maintained the demeanor of the mother-in-law next to the Queen Mother. She stood farther away and looked at Lin Wanqing carefully before saying: “The girl is beautiful. If she is a noble girl in the capital, she is probably already famous. The Queen Mother does not know the girl, so she made the inference just now. Don’t take the girl to heart.”
Also, according to Su Moyi’s temper, he spent all day in Dali Temple and there was never any woman around him.
Now he unexpectedly brought her back to the house. Judging from the Queen Mother’s knowledge of his whereabouts some time ago, it is no wonder that she mistakenly thought she was a flower girl.
Lin Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt that the stone in his heart had moved.
She couldn’t help but stood on tiptoe and looked at the main hall behind her.
In the distance, the main door opened, and as the fire burned out, a tall figure walked quickly from inside, until he came to her.
Su Moyi’s expression was a little complicated, and the eyes he looked at her were dark and unclear.
Lin Wanqing suddenly felt empty in her heart, as if all her internal organs were missing.
“The Queen Mother…” She paused, her voice thin and weak, “Is the Queen Mother…”
“The royal grandmother agreed.”
The words were interrupted, and what was also interrupted was the mood that kept falling towards gloom.
“What?” Lin Wanqing looked at Su Moyi in disbelief.
Su Moyi didn’t answer her anymore, but directly stepped forward and took her hand.
Lin Wanqing looked at the maids around him, was so frightened that he quickly pulled his hand back, and glared at he angrily.
“Ahem…” Su Moyi put her fist to her lips and coughed twice. She straightened her body and walked solemnly to a nearby corridor with a shelf in hand.
Lin Wanqing lowered his head and followed.
Su Moyi said that he wanted to marry her, and the Queen Mother agreed.She only felt that her steps were sloppy and she was not very awake.
But before the little sweetness in her heart could overflow, she heard Su Moyi whisper: “The Imperial Grandmother said that she can arrange a prominent mother’s family for you, so that you can marry into the Crown Prince’s Palace.”
“What…” She heard her own voice trembling.
Su Moyi didn’t realize it, but still smiled and said: “The Imperial Grandmother will ask the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs to transfer your household registration to…”
“No!”
With a sudden sound, Lin Wanqing stopped Su Moyi, “No! Not now, not now.”
