Chapter 174: Not Together
Gu Chao's words were very ugly, Yuan Zheng had indeed been Yu Wenzhao's companion in the past, and the relationship between the two had always been very good. wWw.しωχ S520.coM but when it comes to the intersection between the two, it was Yu Wenzhao who chose him from the beginning, not himself.
He Yuanzong was the champion at the age of seventeen, and he became a feudal official in his twenties, admired him for promoting him, and even demoted him from the second grade to the fourth grade, and the person who demoted him from the second grade to the fourth grade was always Emperor Xuande and not the current majesty, Yuwen Zhao had the intention to reuse him after he ascended the throne, but he hasn't been promoted yet?
After hearing these words, Yuan Zheng was not angry, he Shi Shiran walked to the chair and sat down, pointed to the other rose circle chair next to him and said, "Sit down and listen to me tell you what you did wrong, and why this idea is a dream." ”
Gu Chao saw that he didn't look like he was joking with himself, and sat down with a belly full of doubts.
Yuan Zheng smiled faintly and said: "Ah Chao, you have been an extremely vain woman since you were a child, and you have never changed for decades. ”
Gu Chao immediately exploded, and almost jumped up directly. She knows very well who she is, but no one can stand her husband saying such things to her face.
Yuan Zheng pressed her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, listen to me talk to you slowly." ”
Gu Chao glared at Yuan Zheng angrily, his eyes wider than they had just opened.
"Ah Chao, your biggest wish for more than ten years is to be able to return to the capital in style, and now, there is about another one, and you want to be the prince's mother-in-law, after all, this will definitely make it more beautiful. But you only care about your own ideals. But they ignore the biggest problem here. Yuan Zheng seemed to regard Gu Chao as an ignorant child, and he was kind and seductive.
Gu Chao still didn't speak, just looked at Yuan Zheng suspiciously. I don't understand what the other person is trying to say at all.
Yuan Zheng smiled: "You only remember that you are the eldest daughter of Lord Shoufu and the niece and granddaughter of the Empress Dowager, but you forget that you are just the wife of a fourth-grade official." You only remember that Xiang'er is the granddaughter of Lord Shoufu and the niece of Jingnanhou, but you forget that she is just the eldest daughter of a four-rank official. With such an identity, do you think you are worthy of being the princess of Da Zhou? Or do you not care if you let Xiang'er be the prince's concubine?"
Gu Chao retorted: "But your term of office will expire soon, and when His Majesty summons you back to Beijing......
"Who did you hear say that you will definitely be able to return to the capital as soon as your term of office expires? Who did you hear that if you return to the capital, you will definitely be promoted. And you will definitely be able to rise to the kind of position that you are satisfied with? The officialdom is changing, and it is difficult to draw conclusions about anything if you don't really go that far. Yuan Zheng never told Gu Chao about Yuwen Zhao's promise to him. He didn't believe that Gu Chao could have the keen sense of smell of his second daughter.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Gu Chao's whole person was depressed, Yuan Zheng's words were not unreasonable, and she might not understand other things. But she is still clear about the prince's choice of concubines.
The backgrounds of the princes and concubines of the Great Zhou Dynasty have always been very strong, even the current queen Pei Tingyu, although she was only a girl in the second room of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, her father was still a white-bodied gentleman, but after all, there was still an eldest brother who was waiting.
And now Xiang'er's identity is not even as good as Pei Tingyu at that time.
"So Ah Chao, you are too anxious, send Xiang'er to the capital now, even if the princes start to choose the princess now, there are a lot of high-ranking nobles in the capital waiting for candidates. Do you think Xiang'er really has a chance?" there was no joy or anger in Yuan Zheng's voice.
According to his thoughts, he had already said that to this point, Gu Chao should have been almost hit. It's time for the prince's mother-in-law's sweet dreams to wake up.
However......
Gu Chao's eyes, which had already dimmed, suddenly lit up, and she pulled Yuan Zheng's sleeve and said, "You mean that you don't object to Xiang'er marrying into the royal family, but the time is not yet right?"
Yuan Zheng was depressed, and sure enough, it was ...... The Tao is different, not the same!
He pinched his eyebrows and said, "Ah Chao, you should know very well what Xiang'er is, and you know better than me what the royal family is like." Besides, we don't need to use our daughters in exchange for glory and wealth. As long as I'm here. Make sure you have a comfortable life for the rest of your life. Our daughter has always been pampered, so why do you have to marry into the royal family and fight with others to be angry with others. When we return to the capital, carefully choose a son-in-law with excellent character and appearance for Xiang'er, so that she will be safe and happy for the rest of her life, isn't it?"
In Yuan Zheng's opinion, the princes are all hot potatoes, and now His Majesty is rich in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he himself is also in the prime of life and wants to make a big difference.
He didn't want to tie his future to the princes with an uncertain future, and Yu Wenzhao didn't want to see the courtiers he wanted to reuse stand in line early, so how could he, the emperor, still be?
Yuan Zheng knew that talking too deeply with Gu Chao would make her think more biasedly, so she could only try to persuade her from the perspective of her daughter's future happiness.
Speaking of Yuan Xiang's happiness, Gu Chao's heart moved slightly, in fact, her starting point was the same as Yuan Zheng, she looked forward to Yuan Xiang being the princess, but she didn't necessarily want to be the mother-in-law of the prince.
It's just that in her concept, the status of her husband almost determines whether a woman is happy or not, so Yuan Zheng's so-called excellent character and appearance are really worthless in her opinion, and those are just add-ons for the man to have a high enough status.
Seeing her frown, Yuan Zheng sighed again...... The Tao is different, not the same!
He felt that he had been patient enough and spoke clearly enough, and if Gu Chao continued to be obsessed like this, he would be powerless.
He stood up, patted Gu Chao's shoulder and said, "Since Xiang'er has been sent back to the capital, don't think about it so much, it's good to let her follow her mother-in-law to have some knowledge." As for the marriage, we are not in a hurry, Xiang'er is the birthday of Layue, and it is actually only thirteen and a half years old when it is fourteen, and it will not be until the end of next year, not to mention that she has been separated from us for so many years, it is impossible for me to let her go out early, how can I stay for another year or two, these times are enough for us to choose a good son-in-law. ”
As soon as his words fell, Gu Chao said coldly: "Anyway, Fu Shaoyun's kind is absolutely not good, no matter how good he looks, no matter how talented he is." When it came to boys with excellent character and appearance, she immediately remembered Fu Shaoyun, and an alarm bell suddenly sounded in her heart.
Yuan Zheng couldn't cry or laugh, this woman was simply, she was confused when she should be shrewd, she was shrewd when she should be confused, and she was thinking about something in her head all day long.
"Mother is still angry, you think about it yourself, I'll go and persuade her old man. Yuan Zheng felt that if he stayed in the same room with Gu Chao any longer, he would really collapse, so he walked out quickly.
At this time, in the old lady's room, Mother Wu didn't dare to speak for Gu Chao anymore, and smiled and tucked the quilt for her and said: "Old lady, it has been almost two months since the second girl left, and there is no her in the house, even the slaves and maids feel a lot more deserted, and the two little young masters were still clamoring to find the second sister yesterday."
