The news of Feng Shanyue's menstrual holiday soon spread to Wen Yu Palace. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hmph, they are all princesses, why did she come to Guishui and the queen went in person?"
Yayue threw the book slip in her hand on the desk, she was the deuce water she came from last month, when Concubine Wen Yu sent someone to report to the queen's palace. The queen did not come herself, but had many things to be rewarded.
"Pick up the book!"
Concubine Wen Yu was also reading, and she said without raising her head, not paying attention to Yayue's little emotions at all.
Yayue pouted, honestly picked up the book, and then opened it, but she was angry in her heart, so she couldn't concentrate on reading at all.
Concubine Wen Yu glanced at her, sighed, and put down the book in her hand, "Do you think it's unfair that the queen didn't come to preside over the Tianqi Dance for you in person?"
Yayue pursed her lips, not daring to speak. She could feel that there was some anger underneath Concubine Wen Yu's peaceful face.
"Then do you know that when every woman comes to the water for the first time, it is best for her own mother to perform the blessing?"
Yayue nodded, "My daughter knows." ”
"Then do you think that my biological mother is not qualified to give you blessings?"
Yayue shook her head again and again, "My daughter doesn't mean this, she just thinks that she is a little orphan girl from the people, why does she get so much attention from the queen?"
"The queen values her for three reasons: first, that Ash's mother has died and has become what you call a little orphan girl, and the more gentle and considerate the queen is to her at this moment, the more she will be able to show her bearing as the mother of a nation, and second, that she can win the approval of your father. The more your father feels sorry for Yashi, the more the queen will be interested in Yashi, and the happier your father will be. Yashi came from the people and was very wary of the people in the palace. The queen showed a mother's care at this time, which was somewhat of a warmth to her. ”
"I see!" Yayue is not stupid, after such an analysis by Concubine Wen Yu, she also understands that the queen is not sincere to Yashi, so there is nothing to be jealous of!
"Moreover, since you came to Guishui, I have been teaching you that you are already an adult woman, and you must look far away, don't always be cramped in this little harem. In this life, of course, it is good for a woman to be born well, but it is more important to marry well. Because you've spent most of your life in your husband's house. If you can't keep your eyes open and choose a husband's family well, the rest of your life will be the hardest. ”
Yayue lowered her head with a little blush, it was not the first time that Concubine Wen Yu had said this to her, and every time she heard it, she felt her face blush and her heart beat.
"We're mother and daughter, so you don't have to be shy. You're born a princess, and you're luckier than most women. Before Yashi returned to the palace, you were the most favored princess in the palace, and you have lived this life for more than ten years, which is enough. Yashi is also here now, which means that she has also reached the age of talking about marriage. So she won't be a favored princess in the Fire Phoenix Country for too long. Your rivalry with her has just begun. ”
Yayue raised her head, "Mother, what competition?"
Concubine Wen Yu smiled slightly, her eyes emitting a compelling light, "Don't you want to marry a better husband than Yashi?"
Yayue's eyes lit up, yes, I can't compare to you in this Fire Phoenix Palace, can't I compare to you if I marry someone in the future?
"Mother, I think!"
"If you want to, read the etiquette in front of you and memorize it well. Yashi asked you and Yarong to preside over the opening ceremony this time, which was the result of the concubine's words forced by the concubine in Shangde Palace at that time. But she was really a very smart child, and she came up with the idea of holding the opening ceremony at that time. This opening ceremony is important, so it sounds like it gives you an important opportunity. But at the same time, if the opening ceremony is messed up, it can also make you lose face in front of all the nobles of the Fang Kingdom. ”
"Hmph! I knew she wasn't well!"
Concubine Wen Yu shook her head, how could the daughter she gave birth to be so simple-minded, she really couldn't understand it.
"You see things can't be so simple, didn't I say it? This is an important opportunity, as long as you seize this opportunity, you can show your face in front of all the distinguished guests, and let them know that in addition to the shrewd and capable Princess Yashi, there is also a very intelligent Princess Yayue in the Fire Phoenix Kingdom. ”
"Mother, in this case, I will definitely be able to ...... Can you marry into a good husband's family?"
Concubine Wen Yu smiled and nodded, "Of course, what lord doesn't want to marry back a smart and capable princess?"
In fact, she had already heard from the chamberlain of Shangde Palace that after the lord of the country heard about Feng Shanyue's reputation, he sent a marriage proposal. However, according to the rules, the marriage proposal did not name Feng Shanyue to marry, because it would seem impolite, as if the princess of the Fire Phoenix Kingdom was chosen by him.
Concubine Wen Yu felt that this was an opportunity. Ma Fang is a neighbor of the Fire Phoenix Country, and the national strength is strong, and it has not been defeated in the confrontation with the Fire Phoenix Country for many years. In addition, this lord of the Ma Fang Kingdom is young and promising, if he can marry Ya Yue to him, Yan Xiu will seize the throne in the future, and the Ma Fang Kingdom will be his best backing. Therefore, no matter what kind of person this lord of the country of Malaysia is, she has made up her mind to marry Yayue to him.
"However, mother, this ceremony only talks about how to receive guests from other countries, and does not talk about how to do the opening ceremony! ”
"Don't worry, we still have time. The purpose of the opening ceremony is to show the importance of the Fire Phoenix Kingdom to the guests from all over the world, and the second is to show the customs and folklore of the Fire Phoenix Country, because these are different from other countries, and they can best let other countries understand the Fire Phoenix Country. What we need to do well at the moment is the first step, which is not to make mistakes in etiquette. On the premise of ensuring good etiquette, think about how to make a fresh and interesting opening ceremony. ”
"Mother, you are so smart!" Yayue has already expressed her admiration for her mother's wisdom more than once, "Daughter thinks that if you become a queen, you will definitely do better!"
Concubine Wen Yu glanced at her warningly, "Shen Yan! The queen is the master of the harem, how can you say such things casually?"
Suddenly, she smiled, "Moreover, for the mother, being a queen is not attractive. ”
What she wants to do is the queen mother! She has been subservient to others all her life, and she has been a concubine all her life, and there is no possibility of ascending to the throne again. However, as long as her son becomes the lord of the country, she will be the queen mother of a country, and she will not have the final say in this harem at that time?
Yayue suddenly felt that her mother's expression was a little terrifying, and she quickly lowered her eyes, trying to focus on the words engraved on the book. The words of these rituals are so condescending that it is very difficult to read them alone, let alone read them thoroughly.
Suddenly, Concubine Wen Yu's voice sounded in her ears, "Yayue, you must find a way to marry the lord of the Ma Fang Kingdom!"
