Chapter 399: The Empress's Proposal
Qian Jinghua was not mistaken, there was indeed something between Concubine Zhang Shufei and Queen Shu. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This matter is indeed related to those little ladies.
In fact, Concubine Zhang Shu didn't expect this at first, she tested Queen Shu, but it was just a whim, but she didn't think about it, but Queen Shu was quite good at climbing the pole.
Empress Shu actually went to the saint to mention Zhou Shaoyong's marriage in person.
Originally, all the adults were preparing for the selection of Princess Qi and Princess Huai in the spring, but because of the tense situation in the northwest during this time, the families did not dare to go too far and only dared to wait silently for the wind direction in the palace to survive until the spring.
It just so happened that the emperor was in a good mood on this day, thinking that because of the war in the Western Xia, the palace was gloomy, not only did he not dare to write poems and paint to listen to the silk and bamboo orchestra, but also took his old wife, wife and concubine A bunch of people, he could only look at the eyes of the imperial history platform and did not dare to move, for fear that these officials who would be making trouble every day would be chanting in his ear again.
Now that the Western Xia is temporarily subdued, the two sides have discussed the temporary withdrawal of Mingjin, and the emperor is also greatly relieved, thinking that he can take this opportunity to hold a few internal banquets, and also welcome the upcoming New Year, ushering in the extraordinary moment of the 30th year of Chengtai.
Yes, by next year, the current saint will be thirty years old.
If the Western Xia does not make trouble, there will inevitably be grand ceremonies and celebrations that the whole country celebrates in this year.
Empress Shu rarely gave advice to the emperor, because she always managed the harem very well.
"Yong'er is also old......
The emperor muttered, his mood a little complicated.
Zhou Shaoyong is his eldest grandson, although he doesn't like King Su's family, but in the end this is his eldest grandson, his eldest grandson has reached the age of getting married.
"yes. Empress Shu said: "Concubine Zhang Shu means that she thinks that the eldest daughter of Fu Xiang's family is very suitable, and the child is also pitiful, and the marriage fact is ...... troubled."
She mentioned a few words, and the emperor remembered that Fu Kun's family also had a daughter who had not yet decided on a marriage at this age.
According to the current situation, according to Fu Nianjun's reputation, she has no chance to stand out in the spring selection and marry the emperor's two younger sons.
Hearing that this was what Concubine Zhang Shu meant, the emperor was also silent.
Fu Kun really dislikes him these days, but because of the affection of the monarch and ministers for so many years, he has always been more tolerant than blamed for him.
His daughter......
In fact, the emperor has long forgotten how this Fu Erniang was embarrassed back then.
He asked Empress Shu, "What about Zi's childlike intentions?"
Empress Shu said with a smile: "Official, although we are royal, even if we love these children, we can't ignore the ideas of their families, I have an idea here, it's better to ...... like this."
Empress Shu's meaning happened to hit the emperor's mind.
The more he listened, the more satisfied he became.
As early as the previous dynasty, Tang Xuanzong chose a wife for his son, and ordered the ministers to recommend their daughters in the family, talents, appearance, and breeds, not through the Ministry of Rites to discuss, but let them enter the palace in person first.
This method goes beyond the etiquette system to some extent, but it greatly gives the parties the autonomy of marriage.
It just so happens that the spring day is also to be selected, Queen Shu's meaning, it is better to let the little ladies of each family enter the palace for a banquet first, they should consider their character and morality, and they also have a number in their hearts, so they will not be rash now to make decisions for Zhou Shaoyong and Fu Nianjun.
It just so happens that several children in the clan can also make a decree to marry in the spring.
On top of the etiquette, it will be passable.
The emperor touched his beard and felt very satisfied.
This way of marrying very close to the people made him find it interesting, and the months of toiling in the court really made him impatient, and he was very much looking forward to returning to his previous life.
Just like a big parent, the nephews and nephews in the next generation are happy and share the joy of family.
The emperor had no reason to refuse such a thing.
If there are a few more internal banquets in the palace, it is not an extravagant and wasteful heinous event.
So you agreed.
Empress Shu was relieved to see that all this was going smoothly according to her plan, and after returning to the Yiqing Palace, she muttered to the people around her:
"For that kid, I did my best......
The palace people beside her replied: "Your Highness will definitely remember your kindness." ”
Queen Shu smiled bitterly, why does she need her children to remember her kindness?
All mothers are willing to give everything for their children.
For so many years, she has been a weak mother, how many times he has grown to such a size, he has relied on himself to save the day, he has never made any requests to himself, only this time.
Since she was the woman on the tip of his heart, she, as a mother, had to fulfill him no matter what.
If that Fu Erniang is really so smart and excellent, she definitely doesn't need to ventilate in advance, of course she can do it.
After all, it would be the woman who was qualified to stand side by side with her proud son.
After all, it was a woman who Zhou Yubai praised herself.
After today's first meeting, in fact, Queen Shu is also convinced.
******
And Concubine Zhang Shufei knew about Empress Shu's proposal, and she was only more confused than dissatisfied.
What does she mean exactly?
Who is it trying to protect? Or is it to promote?
There are not many people who participate in the spring selection, Zhou Yuchen and Zhou Yubai's wives are destined to be born here, if Queen Shu really likes which one, why bother to turn around like this, it is directly decided.
Is it because he is afraid that he will rob her?
The more Zhang Shufei thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible.
However, Queen Shu proposed to compare these little ladies first, and Concubine Zhang Shu also agreed here, after all, for the little ladies who may become their daughters-in-law, every mother can't wait to be able to polish their eyes and see them thoroughly inside and out.
What's more, there's one more big benefit here.
Fair.
In other words, she had planned to make Jiang Lingge the daughter-in-law of Empress Shu, and the difficulties were alleviated a lot.
She felt that as long as Jiang Lingge was more competitive and performed well, coupled with her dignity in front of the official family, she would say a few good words and make the official family happy, and maybe she would decide on the spot to make Jiang Lingge the future princess of Huai.
Thinking like this, Zhang Shufei naturally couldn't help but feel a little excited in her heart.
Although she doesn't look down on Jiang Lingge, but it's like a trouble, it's good to throw it to the other party's hands to add blockage, after these few misses, even the duck to the beak flew, Zhang Shufei can be regarded as changing her strategy.
She can have an ordinary daughter-in-law, but Queen Shu must not be able to have a daughter-in-law with a better status.
Originally, this matter was only brought up by Concubine Zhang Shu, and then after Queen Shu's homeopathic operation, it turned out to be a new war between the queen and Concubine Shu in the harem for their respective sons.
