Princess Guojun was anxious, and after thinking for a long time, she urged King Guojun, "Why don't you let your daughter-in-law inquire over there and see who else can help?"

I'm really afraid of something, when King Guojun heard his wife mention his in-laws, his face immediately turned ugly, he was not even very happy to ask his in-laws to find errands for his son, let alone beg his in-laws to help his daughter, how could he open that mouth?

Princess Guojun said that she was discussing with King Guojun, but in fact, she was telling her, and after making up her mind, she hurried to find her daughter-in-law.

Only the king of Guojun sighed, and the bystanders were clear, I have been dealing with my in-laws a lot these days, and I know that this family is not easy to talk to, that is, the little favor between the women in the inner house does not care about you, but what the official wants must get a certain benefit, and sometimes even the price paid by outsiders is smaller, the only benefit is that the two families are in-laws, so they will not admit when they promise, and they will harm each other and the like......

Princess Guojun's wishful thinking is not so easy to start, the princess has been staying in front of the old lady Xue's bedside for the past two days, even if the old lady Xue said no, she still went over every day after the prince went out, tired of being amused by the old lady Xue, so that the princess of Guojun could hardly find a chance to speak, and it was easy to catch her free, but she looked haggard.

Princess Guojun endured her dissatisfaction and tactfully said her request.

The princess never disobeyed her, and promised to wait for the old lady to get better in two days and go to her mother's family for help.

Such a refreshing promise made Princess Guojun very satisfied, but she didn't see the calculating look that flashed in the eyes of her seemingly innocent daughter-in-law the moment she turned around.

In the cold winter of heavy snowfall, many people shrank at home and did not go out, but an undercurrent slowly surged in the houses in Yancheng. Many seemingly unrelated people are calculating each other for their own use, and the final result of entanglement is slowly pointing to one out.

For example, in the palace.

The emperor was drinking with his arms around the newly favored Concubine Yang.

Concubine Yang has an apple face, her round face, red and tender cheeks are like a freshly ripe red apple, with those round black eyes, the whole person looks lively and innocent, very different from those stunning beauties in the palace, and she has a completely different temperament from her appearance. Born in a scholarly family, his mouth is very clever. He can also observe words and feelings, and can often skillfully shift the conversation, so that his words can make the emperor happy.

It is said that the concubine can't interfere in politics. But when the emperor frolicked with the concubines in the harem, he would inevitably mention some interesting things or distress in the court, and the concubines could not be silent like a mute, and would eventually try their best to explain a sentence or two to make the emperor happy. Someone who has a heart will say a word or two of guidance in a timely manner, so that the emperor will not realize that he is making an idea. And it can achieve the goal.

As he spoke, the emperor talked about the family affairs of the Meng and Shao families, and sighed: "Shao Li and Meng are also good at leading troops to fight. In fact, the eleventh brother has always been loyal, and General Meng has also made meritorious contributions. How could I deny the loyalty of the two Aiqing because of a family affair? The last time Meng was also demoted was because of the death of the son of the Jin family, and the civil officials and imperial historians were noisy and shouting. I had to give them an explanation, so I could only grieve General Meng. ”

Concubine Yang seemed to be innocent and agreed: "Yes, now Your Majesty is no longer reusing General Meng, which proves that General Meng can be civil and martial, is a good official, and has been popular for a long time, and the Meng family has been jubilant recently, and everyone is happy." ”

The emperor nodded, "It's those who hold pens, and there are some weird-minded drill camp people, who always hold on to the family affairs of those children, no, there are people who fold bullets to impeach the Meng family and the Shao family about the upcoming marriage, or those old sayings, really." ”

"These imperial historians are also precautionary, and some of them really don't know about the two families, so they can't be blamed. Concubine Yang smiled, Shui Yang's eyes rolled slightly, "The concubine has also heard some rumors in the palace, most of them are just groundless rumors, and there is no truth that the two families are going to marry." ”

"Look, even Concubine Ai and the maids know that these rumors are just groundless, and I can't let the minister chill because of some rumors. "The emperor was rather depressed.

Concubine Yang thought about it and said: "The rumors are so powerful, Your Majesty has to think of ideas, otherwise Your Majesty has no suspicion, but the people below may not know, if someone will mistake the holy will and embarrass the two generals by themselves, wouldn't it be bad?"

"What Concubine Ai said is very true, but how can this be good?" the emperor was a little embarrassed.

Concubine Yang also looked very distressed, the emperor couldn't do anything, and others couldn't think of a solution too quickly.

At this time, He Dong, the chief eunuch beside the emperor, took the opportunity to say: "The old slave actually heard that the marriage between the two families of Meng and Shao is indeed groundless, no, there are rumors recently that the Guojun Wangfu is very close to the Meng family, and it seems that they want to get married, and this rumor is really one day at a time." ”

"There are such rumors?" The emperor came to be interested, the Guojun Royal Mansion and the Meng Mansion were better than the Shao family.

He Dongdao: "That's true, I heard that the King of Guojun and Lord Meng Yemeng have discussed several times in the restaurant, and the ladies of the King of Guojun Mansion have also frequently visited the door of Meng's house, but Lord Meng is a little hesitant. ”

"What are you hesitating about?" Concubine Yang asked curiously, "In terms of the family, the Guojun Wangfu is much higher than the Meng family, and the young lady of the Guojun Wangfu can be married to the son of the Meng family, and Lord Meng should be happy." ”

He Dong said with a smile: "This Lord Meng also has backbone, the previous Miss Meng family, who is now Princess Ding's relatives, has been talked about by many people behind their backs, saying that it is climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, and now if you want another golden branch and jade leaf to marry into the Meng family, you may not know what outsiders will say." ”

Concubine Yang answered: "There are also rumors that Miss Lewen of the Guojun Royal Mansion is going to replace the county lord of Xiuwen to marry the prince of the Meng clan, which may also be the reason for the scruples of the Meng family." ”

"Nonsense. The emperor's face suddenly turned cold.

"Please forgive your sins. Concubine Yang was so frightened that she immediately knelt down, and a group of people in the hall also knelt down.

"I don't mean you. The emperor felt a little bored, waved his hand, and said, "Let's all be even." ”

A group of people trembled.

Seeing that the harmonious atmosphere in the palace had changed, the emperor thought for a while and said, "It's almost the New Year, so let's accomplish a good thing and marry the young lady of the Guojun Wangfu and the son of the Meng family." ”

"It's a really good thing. Concubine Yang smiled sweetly, and there was no trace of apprehension at all.

He Dong and others who could say a few words in front of the emperor also congratulated one after another.

The emperor simply took advantage of the stroke of his pen and wrote a holy decree for He Dong to pass on immediately.

Guojun Wangfu, together with the sick old lady Xue, were supported and knelt in the open air to receive orders.

Until He Dong finished announcing the holy decree with a smile, and then put the holy decree in the hands of King Guojun, the two couples of King Guojun were still confused, in the end, the old lady Xue had experienced a lot of things, and she was steady, and she took the lead in getting up with the support of the maid, smiled and expressed her gratitude to He Dong, and invited He Dong to enter the flower hall to serve tea.

He Dongdao: "No need, the saint is still waiting for our family to go back to restore his life, I heard that the old lady is unwell, please go back to rest early." ”

"It is said that people are in good spirits on happy occasions, and the old body is no longer in serious trouble, let the old body send the father-in-law out. As she spoke, Old Concubine Xue hinted to the maid to send a thank you gift.

He Dong pretended to excuse himself, but he still took it, and after seeing the thank you gift clearly, he secretly said a few words to Old Concubine Xue on the way out.

When the old concubine Xue came back, she saw that the princess and her wife of Guojun looked like they had been devastated, and sighed: "When I sent Father-in-law He out just now, I secretly asked him a few words, and he only told me that you and his wife had done too much before, and the others were not said, so think about what you have done recently." “

After speaking, Old Concubine Xue shook her head tiredly and returned to the room with the support of Mother You.

King Guojun said that he was going out to find out the news, and he walked away, he really didn't want to listen to his wife's complaints and crying anymore.

Princess Guojun also returned to the room with the help of the maid, and after a while, there was a suppressed cry in the room.

On the other end, after retiring the little maid, Mother You hammered and pushed Old Concubine Xue, and asked admiringly: "Old Lady, as you expected, Mrs. Li's family affair did not work out, you are really like a god, how could you expect this?"

Old Concubine Xue half-closed her eyes and said lightly: " I just estimate that Yuzhu's girl can't become the son of the Meng family, as for Lewen, I didn't expect it, I just think that the prince and the princess are so calculating and calculating, and there will be no good result in the end, originally, our palace is deeply favored by the emperor, if you need a daughter and relatives, you naturally have to go, you really don't want to be too blatant, as early as when I reminded them, they quickly set up a marriage for Lewen, even if there is any upset on the top, it's nothing, but when the news spreads all over the city, they haven't booked it for Lewen, and ask people to drill camps everywhere, this is not blatant against the holy willHow can there be a good result? What kind of person is that Dingwang Lian Yufeng? Can he climb to such a high position at a young age, how can he allow others to calculate? The princess he married, Montess, looks even more skillful, but it is ridiculous that my daughter-in-law is still holding a shelf, has always looked down on others, and sent to the door to slap others in the face. ”

Mother You said again: "It's a pity that Miss Lewen married into such a low family as the Meng family." ”

"Life is all lived by people, the Meng's family is not low, Meng is a fourth-grade official rank, and there is a daughter who is a princess, since the Li family only agreed after inquiry, presumably the son of the Meng family is not bad, and his future creation may not be worse than others. Old Concubine Xue said and sneered, "It depends on how the mother persuades her daughter, if you look down on others vigorously, thinking how wronged your daughter is, it is difficult to say if you have nothing to do, this is a holy decree to marry, you can't be separated, and it's always the daughter's family who stumbles and suffers." ”

Mother You thinks about Princess Guojun's temperament, and this is indeed the case. (To be continued)
