Chapter 38 The Age of Marriage

Mu Chengxin originally thought that Wu Zhaoyi was going to ask about the exam questions, but she didn't expect to ask about Mu Chengyao's fainting, her face was better, and she shook her head and said, "It has nothing to do with her daughter?"

"Really. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Wu Zhaoyi was a little unconvinced, seeing the calm affirmation and fearlessness in Mu Chengxin's eyes, he nodded and said, "I thought you were afraid of relying on the Queen Mother, thinking that if Mu Chengyao couldn't take the exam, the ranking would be able to move up a little, it seems that my mother thought too much." ”

Mu Chengxin breathed a sigh of relief, and Wu Zhaoyi said: "That's usually Mu Chenghuang doing ghosts." ”

Wu Zhaoyi's tone was very firm, and even Mu Chengxin couldn't help but ask: "How can my mother see it?"

Wu Zhaoyi's beautiful willow eyebrows trembled slightly: "Isn't this obvious?" If the concubine died, Mu Chenghuang was not favored by the emperor, so he naturally began to tie up the queen mother, but the queen mother valued the invigilator and the woman's talent the most, she first used a trick to make Mu Chengyao faint in the examination room, and she couldn't take the test, and then, she had already bought the exam questions before, so that the Jiazi of this Guozixue must be hers, who would have expected that God has eyes, the emperor actually withdrew her policy results, I also read her article, hum, it's okay to write, but it's always cheating, if you also know the question of this exam before, you will definitely be able to write a hundred times better than her。 ”

Mu Chengxin heard this, and her heart was cold, she couldn't say what she felt, if the mother knew about it, she was actually the one who bought the exam questions before, I don't know what she would think.

"However, it is also good for Mu Chengyao to faint, in two days it will be a reception banquet for the Queen Mother to return to the palace, and the powerful young master in the palace will also come, my mother has already taken a fancy to the eldest young master from the British Mansion, his appearance and talent are excellent, and he is extremely filial. ”

Logically speaking, since the sixth princess Mu Chenglan went up the five princesses, they have all reached the age of marriage, since ancient times, the princess's relatives, most of them have two solutions, one is to go out and set up their own princess's house, recruit the concubine to go to the door, most of them, are those extremely favored princesses, such as the eldest princess, will definitely go out to set up the princess's mansion in the future, the princess's main position is the princess who marries, if the princess does not like the horse or the two are not in harmony, you can also reconcile; , first the Duchess of the Kingdom, and then the princess, if the relationship between the two is not harmonious, they can only wait for the Lord Guogong to divorce his wife.

Of course, there is the most secondary, that is, the kiss, the surrounding tribes are unstable, want to rebel, give a princess to marry, these two families have become a family, the enemy country wants to provoke, and wronged a princess to marry the past, look, I have sent hostages, good, don't fight, Dashun since the beginning of the dynasty, there have also been princesses and relatives, however, most of them are selected from the clan of the county lord or county lord, with a title, not a direct princess, however, now the royal family direct branches and leaves are thin, and the frontier is unstable, this palace Tianxiang female princess garden, seemingly a prosperous scene, there will always contain all kinds of torrents and rapids。

Wu Zhaoyi's mouth of the eldest son of the British government is indeed a good match, except for the two maids who served around him after being promoted to have a room, at the age of twenty and three, there is no concubine room, if Mu Chengxin can marry in the future, he will not suffer, not to mention, this eldest son is handsome and extraordinary, talented, and has good conduct, and will definitely inherit the title of Duke of England in the future.

After thinking about it, Wu Zhaoyi instructed again: "However, don't get too close to Mu Chengyao at that time." ”

Mu Chengxin and Mu Chengyao's private correspondence was hidden from Wu Zhaoyi, after all, knowing that Wu Zhaoyi and Concubine Xi were not in harmony, Mu Chengxin raised her head and said wryly: "Mother is worried?"

"I'm worried that she will steal the limelight from you," although Wu Zhaoyi doesn't like Concubine Xi and Mu Chengyao, she knows her daughter's level very well, in front of Mu Chengyao, whose appearance and talent are above Mu Chengxin, Mu Chengxin is not brilliant at all, "I have always heard that she is sick and recuperating in the palace, this time the Queen Mother returned to the palace just to sit for a cup of tea, and I don't know if she can still attend the banquet," Wu Zhaoyi finished speaking, and stroked her chest again," It's best not to attend, I knew early that the Yuan family had been in close contact with the British government recently, and it seemed that they were also planning for Mu Chengyao. ”

If Mu Chenghuang knew that Wu Zhaoyi had already started working hard for her daughter's marriage, she would definitely be slightly surprised, she had never thought about getting married, she had tasted all the elegance with her mother before, and now she was accompanied by poetry, books and flowers every day, the biggest worry was that the secret arrows in this palace were difficult to prevent, so she had to be extra careful, and she had never worried about the relationship between men and women.

Mu Chenghuang came out of Shoukang Palace, the eldest princess invited her to Mingxi Palace to sit down, Mingxi Palace was originally the palace of Duan Guifei, naturally it was majestic and beautiful, elegant and elegant, and later Duan Guifei died, that is, the eldest princess lived alone, and the eldest princess did not like too many palace maids and eunuchs to go back and forth, leaving only those intimate and useful, this huge Mingxi Palace will also look a little thin.

When Mu Chenghuang came, there was a burst of laughter, the eldest princess led Mu Chenghuang into the house, and the palace maid Zhishu and Zhihua brought up the precocious loquat and nectarine, all of which were cut piece by piece, tied with silver sticks, and the fruit plate was also extremely exquisite.

Mu Chenghuang said with a smile: "The things in the palace of the eldest sister are really better than those outside. ”

The eldest princess also smiled when she heard this: "Then eat more," and said, "I heard about the assassins in the palace with the Queen Mother in the National Temple, and I knew that you were injured, and I didn't know if you were seriously injured, I was really worried, but fortunately I came to take a look, and my heart was stable, and after I went back, the Queen Mother also asked about you." ”

The eldest princess's words are nothing more than to appease Mu Chenghuang's heart, the implication is that the queen mother has not forgotten her, Mu Chenghuang just smiled lightly, how the queen mother is to herself, she knows in her heart, the eldest princess pierced a small piece of loquat with a skewer, and said: "I remember the stuffed loquat you made the most, which is particularly delicious." ”

Mu Chenghuang sighed and said: "I also want to make more for the eldest sister and the queen mother to taste, but Concubine Xi took away all the people in the small kitchen in Jinglan Palace, not to mention, and then there was no one in the small kitchen, no need to dial vegetables, meat and eggs. ”

"Concubine Xi," the eldest princess frowned slightly, "This is too presumptuous, you are the Yongtai princess of Sanpin, and preparing a small kitchen is in the case, this matter still has to let the queen mother decide, but now that I am back, what do you need in the future, just talk to Zhihua Zhishu and take it from my palace." ”

Just as he was speaking, Zhihua suddenly knocked on the door, and when he got it, he came in with a long brocade box, bowed down and said, "Eldest princess, this is sent by the British government." ”

The eldest princess took the box, glanced at Mu Chenghuang, but she didn't shy away from it, so she opened the box directly, and the purple silk lining was very carefully wrapped in a piano made of paulownia wood, the workmanship was extremely fine, and what was more special was that this piano was also engraved with the words "Tongzi Hejing", Mu Chenghuang saw it and said with a smile: "Isn't this Sima Xiangru's Aegean Luqi?"

The eldest princess smiled: "It must be imitated, Lu Qi is a guqin more than a thousand years ago, I don't know where it has been dispersed, I don't know where it has been scattered, I am afraid that if I find it, it will have long been decayed." ”

"Although it is an imitation, it is also very exquisite," Mu Chenghuang put down the teacup, "Although this time the British prince came to the south for his father and brought a lot of rare jewels, but I haven't heard that there is a guqin in this treasure, naturally, this is not brought back by the British prince, I am afraid that the British prince took this opportunity to send this green Qi in by the way, making my sister happy." ”

The eldest princess listened, her face was dyed with two crimson clouds, she lowered her head, revealing a shy look, three years ago, when she was in the Guozi Prison, the eldest princess and the eldest son of the British princess Li Su were confidants, the two talked about everything, quite a relationship, but the two were very low-key, the eldest princess died in order to Duan Guifei died and kept filial piety for three years, Li Su waited outside the palace from the age of the crown to twenty-three and never married a concubine, and gloriously became the second place in the list of older unmarried men in Dashun, this first place, naturally Mu Qinyi is the only one.

"The eldest sister and the eldest son of the British princess are in love, talented and beautiful, and now, the filial piety period of the eldest sister has expired, and she can just take advantage of the queen mother's reception banquet to discuss this marriage, how good. Mu Chenghuang grinned, the eldest princess saw it, reached out and pinched her little face, and said with a smile: "You, let's worry about your marriage, now that you are fourteen, it is estimated that this year, my father will be eager to marry you out of the palace." ”

The eldest princess asked people to put away this green Qi good life, and the two chatted for a while, nothing more than asking some trivial things in the palace where the eldest princess was not there, and finally asked about Tang Baolin's body, Mu Chenghuang just sighed, Tang Baolin was sick since he lost the second princess, he was exposed to the sun for a while that day, and he fell ill in Xiangye Hall.

The eldest princess frowned, stopped talking, and still gently admonished: "It's okay to be sick, but remember, don't let Song Kui from the Tai Hospital go to consult." ”

Song Kui again, Mu Chenghuang naturally knew that Song Kui was not clean, but she wanted to know if the eldest princess knew something she didn't know, so she just put on a surprised look: "Ah? Why? Isn't this Imperial Doctor Song's medical skills quite clever?"

The eldest princess shook her head and said, "You were young at the time, or maybe Concubine Ru didn't tell you about it in order to protect you, do you remember Shu Chongyi, who died of illness a few years ago?"
