Chapter 184: Keeping Promises

Tang Xiuyi is Empress Pei's person, at least in her heart, she has always thought so. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In order to hold this thigh steadily, she has done a lot of things for Queen Pei in the palace over the years.

Of course, with her status, there are only a limit to what she can do, so the benefits she can get are also limited.

And because she only got one daughter from Ruihua, she was not able to be promoted to the position of concubine, but being one of the nine concubines was not too much to bury her.

As she gets older, the emperor's favor becomes less and less, and she no longer expects that she will be able to give birth to a prince, and her only hope is that her daughter can find a good family.

As the saying goes, the emperor's daughter is not worried about getting married, but the reality is that it is not difficult to marry, but it is more difficult to find a satisfactory colt for his daughter than to ascend to the sky.

In the past, she was only a little anxious, but as her daughter grew older, her hair was almost gray.

Like the other concubines, she didn't know the reason why His Royal Highness was angry with His Majesty, so she didn't dare to get too close to Queen Pei as before during this time, for fear of suffering from the pond fish.

But when I saw the queen at the gate of Fengxiang Palace, there was a faint hint of joy on her face, could it be that there was some major turning point in things?

Seeing that Empress Pei had already taken a seat on the main seat, Tang Xiuyi didn't dare to think about it anymore, and knelt down with a puff and said, "Niangniang, the concubine has something to ask for." ā€

Empress Pei was not in a hurry to arouse it, she looked at her intently and said: "It's almost dark, how can Sister Xiuyi still come to Fengxiang Palace, what do you ask for or not, if you have something to say, it doesn't hurt." ā€

After two consecutive fights with Concubine Ma Xian and Concubine Wang De, Queen Pei felt that her waist and legs were a little weak, but her spirit was better than before.

In the dreary harem, isn't it just these battles to pass the long days of boredom?

If she doesn't rely on her identity to subdue these women, what else does she have to work hard to be this queen!

Tang Xiuyi knelt straight, but said with a hint of desolation in her voice: "Niangniang, Ruihua is already sixteen, so ......"

The corners of Empress Pei's mouth hooked up and sneered: "It is not too early for a civilian woman in my Great Zhou Dynasty to marry at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and the ladies and nobles generally talk about marriage only after the marriage, the royal princesses are noble, and it is inevitable that they will lose their identity when they marry in a hurry, Ruihua is only sixteen now, Your Majesty and the palace want to carefully choose a good family for her, you don't have to worry." ā€

Good one, don't worry, it's not your biological daughter, of course you're not in a hurry!

Tang Xiuyi pursed her lips, and finally seemed to have made up her mind, and said, "Niangniang, you promised Ruihua a few days ago, and ...... said that as long as she revealed that matter to the Empress Dowager, she would be pointed out to Pei Shizi. ā€

Is this trying to force yourself to keep your promises?

Empress Pei's eyelids jumped slightly, and she said with a smile: "I don't need my sister to remind me, this palace remembers what I said." ā€

Tang Xiuyi explained: "The concubine didn't mean that. ā€

Empress Pei fiddled with the ring on her finger and said, "What the palace said that day was that it promised to point Ruihua to its nephew, but it didn't say which nephew it was, why did your mother and daughter identify Jincheng?"

Tang Xiuyi was so anxious that she was about to cry, Queen Pei really didn't say the words "Pei Jincheng" directly, but their mother and daughter are not stupid, can't they even understand the hint?

Ding Xingwang, a man of the right age who has not yet been married, is indeed a horse worthy of being Ruihua's colt if he is looking for any man.

But Ruihua's stubborn temper, since he has determined that Pei Jincheng can't pull back ten cows, how can other people get into it?

Seeing that she didn't squeak, Queen Pei frowned and said, "Could it be that the palace has made a mistake?"

Tang Xiuyi hurriedly replied: "Niangniang has never been mistaken, it's just ...... It's just that Ruihua misunderstood the meaning of Niangniang and thought that you were referring to Pei Shizi. She's young, and once she identifies someone, her eyes are full of that person......"

Saying that, she kowtowed heavily, and the whole person prostrated on the ground and said: "Niangniang, you have been taking care of Ruihua a lot over the years, to put it mildly, in her heart, your position is much higher than that of the concubine, you can fulfill her, and the concubine will be a cow and a horse for you in the future." ā€

The corners of Qi Su's mouth twitched on the side, this Tang Xiuyi is really a good mother, she dares to say anything for her daughter, and she is willing to do anything.

Empress Pei gave Qi Su a look and motioned for her to go, Tang Xiuyi helped her up.

Qi Su bowed slightly, stepped forward and grabbed Tang Xiuyi's arm, but he couldn't help it.

Empress Pei sighed: "Why do you bother, you don't understand the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the concubine is not allowed to participate in politics, Jin Cheng is the son of the Marquis of Wuning, and he will stand up to the door in the future, how can the brother and sister-in-law of the palace easily let him be the master." ā€

Tang Xiuyi raised her eyes to look at Queen Pei, her eyes were full of hope.

It can't be easy, that is, there is still hope, although the queen mother did not promise, but she also did not reply by no means, right?

Empress Pei said: "You get up first." ā€

"Yes, sis. Tang Xiuyi stood up with the strength of the ruler.

Queen Pei said earnestly: "This matter still needs to be considered in the long run, Ruihua grew up watching from this palace, and she has always liked her, and she is willing to be the nephew of this palace." But this matter requires the nod of His Majesty first, and then the meaning of brother and sister-in-law.

This palace promises you that you will try your best to say that you will agree, even if you can't succeed, you will definitely find an outstanding person among the Pei family's nephews to point to Ruihua, and you will not be wronged by her. ā€

"Xie Niangniang. "The words have already been said at this point, if Tang Xiuyi continues to be stubborn, he will be ignorant.

As long as the queen is really attentive, Pei Jincheng will have four or five points of certainty, even if it really doesn't work in the end, the "outstanding" son of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion is really not bad than looking for a horse casually.

Ruihua, my mother can only do this step for you, I hope you can understand your mother's difficulties.

Empress Pei said: "Okay, this palace will go to His Majesty tomorrow to discuss, and you can go back and rest before it gets early." ā€

The concubine didn't disturb the mother's rest, and retired first. Tang Xiuyi blessed his body and withdrew from the main hall.

"Niangniang, are you really willing to let the prince still be the master, not to mention Mrs. Wuninghou's side......" What Qi Su wanted to say was actually the latter sentence, Niangniang and Mrs. Wuninghou had already torn their faces, can Pei Shizi's marriage really be involved.

Empress Pei sneered: "It's not the son of this palace, what's so reluctant! This palace just wants to make something to block Gu Xi, and it's not impossible to use this matter to show weakness to Your Majesty, the Pei family has been too beautiful these years."

Qi Su said: "Then do you want to summon the Hou Ye into the palace first, after all, it is the marriage of the prince, and you have to discuss with him first before going to find Your Majesty." ā€

Empress Pei shook her head: "Jin Cheng's eldest brother's opinion on marriage is not important, not to mention that he has a big opinion on the palace now, and he has not paid attention to the palace for a few months. ā€

Qi Su felt that this was also reasonable, if His Majesty did not agree, it would be useless to discuss it with Hou Ye.

She grabbed Queen Pei's arm and said, "There is something important tomorrow, Niangniang should go and rest first." ā€
