Chapter 71 Becoming a Great Lord (2)
Empress Dowager Huang was waiting for her words, but Shuilong's indifferent expression was beyond her expectation. "Hmm..." She mused, she didn't respond to Shui Long immediately, but asked again: "Hua Yang, do you still have a good relationship with Liu Xian, and you don't like Rong Er?"

People with a little bit of wisdom will notice the difference in her address, and thus know the depth of her love for the two people in her words.

Shui Long slightly raised her eyebrows, "Why does the Queen Mother ask such a question?"

Empress Dowager Huang said: "The Ai family heard something about it two days ago." Then she opened the small brocade box that had been on the table, and there was a jade pendant lying in the brocade box.The texture of this jade pendant is excellent, carved with dragon patterns, and in the center is a complex and simple carving of characters.

As soon as the jade pendant came out, Shuilong knew what the empress dowager was talking about.

Although she left the place of kindness in the General's Mansion, the people inside were still unwilling to make her feel better, and would drag her down the quagmire all the time.

"Does Huayang recognize this jade pendant?" Queen Mother Huang asked knowingly.It's just that her demeanor is gentle and her tone is soft, so she won't be offensive.

Shui Long said calmly: "Wang Pei of King Wu."

"That's right. This is Rong'er's Wang Pei." The Empress Dowager Huang stroked the jade pendant lightly, her expression was so gentle that she could drown in water. This expression was only fleeting and was not noticed by many people.However, she can still feel her love for eldest grandson Rongji from the gentle movements of her rubbing the jade pendant.

"Hua Yang wants to know what the Ai family has heard?"

Shuilong knew that she said that she didn't want to know, which made the other party angry, but the other party would still say it, so she nodded lightly.

Empress Dowager Huang stopped touching Yupei's hand, "The Ai family heard that Hua Yang didn't like Rong'er, and when he learned that Rong'er had returned to the court, he hired killers to besiege Rong'er, and then sold both Rong'er and Yupei."

Shui Long could hear a trace of anger lurking in her soft words.

As long as you are a mother, it would be strange if you don't get angry when you hear that your beloved child is treated like this.

"The Queen Mother's letter?" Shui Long asked.

Empress Dowager Huang looked at her, was silent for a while, and then smiled, "Of course Aijia doesn't believe it. Although Huayang loves to play, he is a sensible person and knows what to do and what not to do." After she finished speaking, she turned sideways He turned his head to look at the old nanny at the side behind him.

The old mother was obviously her confidant, clapped her hands and said, "Bring him up."

Two eunuchs outside the door drove a woman into the hall.

The young woman who was carried into the palace was not very old, she was wearing a light pink dress and combing her maid's temples. She didn't look too good-looking, but she was pretty and lovely.At this time, her face was pale, sweat was floating on her forehead, and she knelt on the ground tremblingly, calling: "Servant Yuxiang, see the queen mother, empress, all noble concubines... Princess Huayang!"

Shuilong's memory has always been good, and she can tell at a glance that this girl is Yuxiang, the maid who followed her in the past.

After the big drama at the general's mansion, Yuxiang was taken away by the eldest lady to be punished. Before returning to Shuilong's side, the two hadn't seen each other for a long time. I didn't expect this meeting to be like this situation.

Shui Long squinted her eyes, looking at Yu Xiang indifferently.

If some people insist on looking for death, they can't be stopped.

"Huayang knows this girl?" Queen Mother Huang didn't let Yuxiang get up, and smiled at Shuilong.

Shui Long also chuckled lightly and said: "The former close girl lost her after being greedy for meritorious deeds."

Empress Dowager Huang's face immediately turned cold, and she said to Yuxiang who was kneeling below: "The Ai family hates people who eat inside and out."

Yuxiang was so frightened that her face turned blue, and she exclaimed, "The Queen Mother is aware, the slaves are not..."

"You mean that Huayang deceived Aijia and framed you?" Empress Dowager Huang changed her kindness and gentleness in front of Shuilong, her words were indifferent and severe, and her momentum was overwhelming. She was worthy of being the queen mother of a country.

"Slave... Slave..." Yuxiang stuttered in fright, her eyes were full of tears, and she struggled to murmur: "Slave is telling the truth. Slave is not lying. Slave can swear!"

She didn't say that Shuilong was cheating, nor did she say that she framed herself.However, the meaning expressed in these words is almost the same.

Queen Mother Huang sneered.Such a cleverness is too childish in the palace compound.

"Huayang, what the Ai family told you before, I learned from this girl that Rong'er's jade pendant was also sent by her." When the Queen Mother Huang looked back at Shuilong, her expression smiled again, and she just looked at her carefully. Eyes, you will find that there is not much smile in it.

Shui Long said with a slight smile: "The Empress Dowager has already said that she doesn't believe her." Seeing Yu Xiang below, she instantly became shocked and frightened.

The Empress Dowager Huang seemed to be entertained by Shuilong, her smile became more open, and she said gently: "Of course Aijia doesn't believe that Huayang will ask an assassin to kill Rong'er, but is the matter of selling jade pendants real? Huayang wants to Conceal Rong'er's identity, don't want him to appear, let alone marry him, right?"

This seemingly joking and easy question, combined with the previous words and Yuxiang kneeling on the ground, became a bit intriguing.

Shuilong didn't answer in a hurry, and remained silent.

Empress Dowager Huang patted her hand again, comfortingly said: "Huayang is the seed of infatuation, Aijia understands. It's because Aijia went to Yuming Temple a few days ago and came back to find out about the bastard thing about marriage. Let Huayang suffer such a great grievance. Today, Ai’s family calls Huayang to ask for clarification, so that Huayang can make the decision, so that Huayang will not marry someone he doesn’t like.”

Having said this, Shuilong completely understood what the Empress Dowager Huang meant.

Empress Dowager Huang didn't want her to marry her eldest grandson Rongji.

Because his reputation is too bad, will it affect the dignity of the royal family?

Shui Long followed her wishes, pretending to be helpless and said: "The marriage contract is bestowed by the emperor, even if Hua Yang doesn't want it..."

"Aijia can still do things for Huayang." Queen Mother Huang said gently.

She really deserves to be the last woman of the last generation in the imperial palace. Every word she says sounds for her own good, but her actions actually imply a threat.What's more, if the engagement is really broken, then her Bai Shuilong will be divorced twice, and the common people will not think that it is the royal family's fault, they will only feel that Bai Shuilong is unbearable, and her reputation will only get worse in the future. He was ridiculed by people all over the world.

Shuilong doesn't care about these reputations, and she doesn't worry about her future marriage, but it doesn't mean that she will be manipulated obediently.

"Queen Mother, I'm very interested in the sea area near Nanyun City recently." Shui Long said.

Empress Dowager Huang was startled, but she didn't realize why she said this suddenly.

Shuilong continued neither humble nor overbearing: "There are many rogue pirates in Nanyun City, I think I can handle it well."

Empress Dowager Huang vaguely understood what she meant, but she still couldn't grasp the key point.

Shuilong said again: "After the engagement is rescinded, I think I will have a lot of free time to do something for Xiling."
