Liu Xian heard the queen mother say that her daughter was not suitable to be the queen, and she couldn't help wailing in her heart, who doesn't think that her daughter is the best choice for the queen, where did she think that it was a bamboo basket to draw water, and she didn't know what her daughter would look like.

It was him himself, and he was unwilling to let the queen's laurel fall into her hands, so Liu Xian said to the queen mother with a smile: "Ting'er is still young, and my sister will change it if she teaches more." Otherwise, the girls in the family are still young, and there are almost no ones of the same age, and some of them are also concubines, where are they worthy of the emperor. ”

Empress Dowager Liu said with a smile: "The country is easy to change, the nature is difficult to change, Ting'er is so big, I'm afraid it will be difficult to change, and the emperor's wedding is not busy, and it is not too late to mention it in three or five years." But you go back to urge my father, I asked him to be an old man some time ago, and find some girls with good looks and good character from the family and some children of the Liu family who are good at work, I don't know how things are going. ”

Liu Xian hurriedly replied: "Father has already chosen, and when my sister-in-law enters the palace in a few days, I will give you the list of purposes." ”

Empress Dowager Liu nodded and sighed: "This world is the world of the An family, now our family is too sharp, the An clan will be dissatisfied in their hearts, and after the marriage of An and Liu, I hope they will fight for anger and give birth to the eldest son, and after a hundred years, the Liu family will be impeached and settle old accounts, and the damage will be limited by virtue of the intricate relationship between the two families." ”

Liu Xian said with a smile: "The queen mother is too pessimistic, and then there will be the emperor, the Liu family is his family, who has the heart of a bear and a leopard, and dares to go against the emperor's family? ”

Empress Dowager Liu shook her head and smiled bitterly, her younger brother thought about the world and people's feelings was too simple, but he didn't know that people would go to tea and cool, not to mention that in order to help the first emperor, his father and brother pulled the royal family down the horse, and when they went west, these things had to be counted.

Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Liu couldn't help gritting her teeth: Since the royal family has little true love, her husband was really a good calculation back then!

Liu Xian saw that the Queen Mother just shook her head, and there was a look of grief and indignation on her face, so she persuaded: "The Queen Mother must be thoughtful, but the minister is short-sighted. If you talk about intimacy, Ting'er is the best choice, she is just young, so she acts a little flamboyant, and after two years of sensibility, she will be all better, and she and the emperor have grown up together since childhood, and their affection is not as good as others. ”

Empress Dowager Liu sighed: "Ting'er has grown up by my side since she was a child, why don't I love her, and why don't I want to make her the queen, but she is really not suitable." As a cousin and brother, the emperor will definitely take care of her very much in the future, but if it is a husband and wife, with Ting'er's temperament, that little sister and brother love is gone, and it may not be a Chen Ajiao. ”

Without waiting for Liu Xian to open his mouth to plead, the Empress Dowager Liu said again: "I'll tell you the truth, I once proposed to the emperor that Li Ting'er be the queen, and the emperor clearly disagreed, and he also proposed this marriage, and said: As long as there is a daughter of the Liu family who is quiet and virtuous to be her queen, and then there is an marriage between An and Liu, and the two surnames live in peace, Liu's An Rong will not be reduced." ”

Liu Xian heard that it was the emperor's meaning, and knew that his daughter would never be the queen anymore.

Sighing for a while, Liu Xian fought for her daughter again: "Ting'er has always been arrogant, and I also asked my sister to take care of her more in the matter of marriage." ”

Empress Dowager Liu nodded: "Since I love her the most, I will naturally choose a loyal and reliable husband for her." ”

Liu Xian hurriedly smiled again: "The character is naturally good, but this title should not be too low, otherwise, not only her, but also the ministers will be difficult to see the world." When the emperor ascended the throne, he conferred the titles of several princes and princes......"

"A woman's happiness is not in her husband's title, but in his true feelings, otherwise he will be a reliable person, otherwise he will be a queen, if he is a wolf-hearted thing, then only he knows the suffering. Empress Dowager Liu didn't wait for her younger brother to finish speaking, then said with a sneer.

Liu Xian was taken aback, just bowed his head, and didn't dare to speak.

Empress Dowager Liu showed tiredness on her face, and said lazily: "I already have a candidate in my heart, you just have to rest assured, the hour is not early." ”

Liu Xian hurriedly stepped forward to salute and slowly withdrew from the hall.

As the so-called fate of each has its own fate, Empress Dowager Liu didn't know that because she chose a son-in-law for her niece, she sent a noble son-in-law to the Qiu family. That's for later.

It was only said that Empress Dowager Liu watched her younger brother retreat, her body did not move, she just looked at the empty hall, half a sound, pulled the phoenix robe, and sighed: "It's summer soon, and it's still so cold." ”

At this time, the palace people quietly entered the hall to hold the lamp, and the candlelight shined through the lantern, illuminating the palace brightly, and with a faint flush, the hall suddenly seemed warm.

Empress Dowager Liu smiled on her face and asked the palace maid standing beside her, "What is the emperor doing now?

The palace maid hurriedly bowed down and replied: "I have had dinner half an hour ago, and the emperor also praised a small dish tonight for being delicious, so I ate half a bowl of japonica porridge, and now I have drunk the medicine and slept." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she said happily: "I ordered someone to go to the imperial dining room, especially the imperial chef who made side dishes, and doubled the reward." ”

The palace maid bowed down and withdrew to give orders.

Empress Dowager Liu turned the rosary in her hand, whispered a few words of the Buddha, and begged the Bodhisattva: "A qiē sin, the believer is willing to bear it, and the believer is willing to give up her yang life, only to ask my son to live a long and safe life......."

Not to mention how Empress Dowager Liu prayed for her son, not to mention that the mother and daughter of the Qiu family were reconciled, and the family went back to the room to sleep peacefully after having dinner happily.

Qiu Ruyi was still worried that his words would cause trouble for his family, tossing and turning, and he couldn't sleep steadily, and then he thought about it: In the eyes of the powerful people in the capital, I am just an ant-like character, who can compare with me, there is really a disaster, a thousand cuts, I resist alone, and I will never affect my family, otherwise I will be poor and fall into the Yellow Spring, and I will not be wronged for my family, I would rather be a wild soul and ghost than be born in the world, and I will never give up.

Thinking like this, Qiu Ruyi's heart suddenly felt a lot easier, and after a while, he fell asleep, and Xing'er, who was on duty at night, put her heart down and went to sleep.

On the second day, Qiu Ruyi accompanied her mother and brother to breakfast, they all had business, Qiu Ruyi had to go back to her courtyard and listen to Mama Su's lecture in a heartless and boring manner.

Suddenly, Qiu Ruyi thought of his brother's joke yesterday, and couldn't help but feel angry, and inquired that his brother had finished doing things, so he took Yahuan to his courtyard, ready to blackmail Qiu Ruhai into a few treasures.

Although Qiu Ruhai lives in the inner courtyard, he is mostly in the small study in the outer courtyard during the day, just because Qiu Rong's father and son are not at home, the Qiu family has almost no foreign men on weekdays, and Qiu Ruyi has always relied on the favor of the Yu family, and the inner and outer courtyards are rampant.

As soon as he arrived in Qiu Ruhai's courtyard, there were a few small servants standing at the gate of his courtyard, and when he saw Qiu Ruyi coming, he hurriedly lowered his head and stood there, but a small house in the courtyard shrank and secretly walked inside.

Xing'er saw it with sharp eyes and signaled to Qiu Ruyi, Qiu Ruyi ordered the man to come over, and said with a smile: "Could it be that my brother is doing something to kill people and steal goods inside, and he has to watch the door." ”
