Chapter 25 The emperor came to see Niangniang again
25
only said that on this day, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother He were choosing the best candidates, and they were undecided for a while, "Why don't you call the emperor over and ask?" The Queen Mother asked her sister.
"My sister has an idea, I think you have a good eye."
"What about you, which one do you like, it's your daughter-in-law."
Empress Dowager He said: "My sister looks good, I don't know what the Queen Mother means, the Queen Mother is well-informed, and there must be a choice." ”
The Queen Mother took out the two that were difficult to determine and said: "The meaning of the mourning family, the youngest granddaughter of Prime Minister Yu's family, and the daughter of General Li Yi's family are between Bozhong, but after we are elected, it is related to national affairs, not just pleasing to the eye." Empress Dowager He tried her best to say, "Right now, Emperor Su Jin is in good health, and he can still lead a few years of soldiers, but he is also getting old day by day, and it is not appropriate to let him work a lot." The vassal kings are even more eyeing him, just waiting for the day when he falls, when there will be a chaos in the court, we need to take precautions, to help the emperor win over a general, and lead troops for him in the future. ”
Empress Dowager He said: "According to my sister's meaning, it is more suitable to be the daughter of General Li Yi?" ”
The Queen Mother said: "Not necessarily, the mourning family has heard of General Li Yi's beloved daughter, lively and cute, very heroic, but you also know that Yi Qiang's temperament is the most tolerant, but the time has endured for a long time, I am afraid that I don't say it in my mouth, and I am disgusted in my heart. ”
Empress Dowager He said yes. The two discussed it almost later, and the Queen Mother sent Xiaodouzi beside her to pass the word and let Xue Yinong go to the Yangxi Palace.
Xue Yinong asked, "What is the Queen Mother's going to do with me?" ”
Xiaodouzi smiled and said: "What else is there, it's just a major marriage event for the emperor, the two queen queens have discussed for a long time, and a few have been decided, but the emperor has to see it in person, so he is willing to give up, if the emperor is fine, he should go with the slaves quickly, don't let the two old men wait." ”
"They're too anxious, what's the point of delaying it for a few more days." Saying that, let people prepare a sedan chair, and the wild goose also went to serve together. After greeting the two queen mothers, they sat down.
The Queen Mother asked her to serve tea, and asked her how the court was doing, but some ministers were embarrassed, so she took out the topics she had prepared earlier. The portrait also let the little beans around him hug him, so that Xue Yinong could see them one by one.
"Your Majesty, you take a look first, and if you think you are satisfied, you can choose which."
Xue Yinong said: "Yes." Xiaodouzi unfolded the portraits one by one, Xue Yinong looked at it, and saw that Xiaodouzi started with Yu Shiyou in turn, followed by Li Tong, and then called Xu Yanran, Lin You, and Qin Mingyue. After the five paintings were unfolded, Xue Yinong knew the intention early, and knew that the Queen Mother must like the one called 'Yu Shiyou', and looked at the surname as if it was Prime Minister Yu's family. She pointed to the first one and said, "That's good, choose her!" Yu Guang swept the smile that spread on the corner of the Queen Mother's lips, and smiled at the Empress Dowager He.
"The emperor's vision is really not bad, and he wants to be with the mourning family. Yu Shiyou is dignified and generous, and he is from the Prime Minister's Mansion, he has been very strict with his family since he was a child, and there is nothing that he cannot understand in poetry and songs, and he has both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. ”
Xue Yinong laughed dryly, "What the Queen Mother said is true." ”
"If that's the case, then let's condemn her; Xiaodouzi passed on the will of the mourning family, passed this to the Prime Minister's Mansion in advance, and then passed it to the Ministry of Rites, so that they could prepare the things for the emperor's wedding one by one, and then look at the day, which day is more suitable for marriage. ”
The small beans should be lowered one by one.
Empress Dowager He looked helpless, and Xue Yinong accompanied her to speak, without any dissatisfaction on her face. Now that it's happened, let's keep going!
The Queen Mother passed down the decree and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the General's Mansion was not appeased, which can be described as both. Xue Yinong kept them busy, but he couldn't hide and succeed. Soon, the Ministry of Rites sent someone to come over, tailor-made, clothing-making, shoe-making, and checking the eight characters, and familiarizing themselves with the distance to be taken for the wedding, etiquette and other items, and this busyness was busy for three months.
Summer is long gone, autumn is coming.
In Xu's mansion, Xu Shutong looked at the green leaves and began to slowly yellow, waited and waited, looked forward and waited, but Xue Yinong did not come.
The news that the emperor is going to get married is known to the whole world.
Seeing her standing under the tree in a daze again, Cun Xi stepped forward and asked, "Niangniang, the weather is cold, why are you still standing here, go back to the house." ”
"Did I send the shoes you sent to the palace?"
Cun Xi said: "Yes! Handed over to the wild goose. chatted with her for a few words, came back late, and made the mother wait for a long time. The date of the emperor's wedding has been set, and it will be ...... in January."
"You tell me what to do, she loves to get married, and she cares about me. Let's go, do needlework. When she arrived in the house, Xu Shutong suddenly remembered something, stood up and went to the bookshelf to get a book, which was the 'Six Records of Floating Life' that Xue Yinong read last time, she beckoned to Cun Xi and said, "You read a book to me for a while." She asked Cun Xi to sit on the recliner, and Cun Xi was curious in her heart, what was this, and she couldn't figure it out for a while, so she had to follow it.
"I hired Jinsha Yu at a young age, and died at the age of eight. Marry Chen. Chen Mingyun, the word Shuzhen, uncle's Xinyu Mr. and daughter, born Yinghui, when learning the language, dictate "Pipa Xing", that is, can become a recitation ......"
Xu Shutong sat sideways on the edge of the bed and made socks for Xue Yinong, but he stopped without doing a few stitches, correcting the regretful thoughts, no matter how he read it, there was no taste of Xue Yinong after all. She sighed, it turned out that it was not this person, and even the taste was wrong, and the time at that time was quiet, but it could not be replicated.
She said to Cun, "Don't read it, let it go, do your business." ”
Hold your head with pity, what's the matter with this mother, sigh for a while, look at the leaves for a while, and ask her to read for a while, this appearance is clearly the same as the illness written in the book. She looked at Xu Shutong suspiciously, "Niangniang, don't you have lovesickness!" ”
She said suddenly, and said something like this. Xu Shutong was startled, poked the needle on his finger, and a drop of blood the size of a cinnabar mole appeared, and he hurriedly stopped the bleeding in his hand, and said after a while: "You, what are you talking about!" I'm usually not serious, but now I'm making up your jokes. ”
"Isn't it?"
Xu Shutong rolled her eyes, she could also think of it, could it be that she had read too many books of talented and beautiful people recently? Quickly forbid her to look at it, otherwise she will be stunned, and she will be afraid that she will think about it.
"I just feel like it's been quiet for too long, and I'm panicking!"
"Is it quiet? There are no fewer people who hand over posts outside and write love letters to you, and those young masters are all looking at your door and drooling, you just don't give it a chance. Niangniang, did you say that the emperor saw the shoes you made at this time, did he already put them on? ”
"Who knows, she likes to wear reads;."
I don't believe what Xu Shutong said, if you don't care, you have to work so hard to make that thing, and it's true if you want her to say it, a man's shoes are so fancy......
Splendid Palace.
Luo Yan stared at the shoes in his hand and was stunned, this is the shoes made by Xu Guifei for the emperor, are you sure they were not made for the queen mother? So flowery! But there is a tiger embroidered on it, and it is so spirited.
All her attention was taken away by these shoes, and she didn't even notice Xue Yinong entering the door. Xue Yinong asked, "What are you looking at?" "The head has poked over, and I saw that it was a pair of shoes, and the wild goose stared at the shoes to see something, which one of them gave it to me? was about to make fun of her, but saw Luo Yan holding two shoes and turning around and handing them to her.
"This is what the mother asked the girl to send to you."
"Really? She hadn't made anything for me for a long time, and I thought she had forgotten about it, these shoes were so beautiful. Without saying a word, he took off the Nine Dragon boots on his feet and replaced them with single shoes made by Xu Shutong, which were light and comfortable, which were worn in autumn. She dressed, walked around the house many times, looked at it countless times, and said, "I haven't seen her for a long time, Ming'er Xiumu, Ming'er goes, you prepare things today." ”
Luo Yan said: "What is there to prepare, is there anything missing from Niangniang?" She intended to laugh at Xue Yinong's extra care for Xu Shutong, but she didn't know that Xue Yinong was stupidly agreed.
"What she's missing, I should have known."
Luo Yan: "......" She still went to prepare the car for going out, the silver ticket is good, and there is always an inconvenient time when she goes out. Xue Yinong continued to walk and jump alone in the house, and the bottom of the thousand layers was really unusual.
The next day, Xue Yinong went to Xu's mansion.
When the girl outside the door came in, Xu Shutong thought that she had misheard, "She's here?" ”
"Here, the slave will not be mistaken." Last time, the son had a gentle face and a noble attitude, and even the imperial history was so frightened that she rolled off the saddle and got off the horse, she thought that the son was not ordinary, so she remembered it firmly in her mind.
Xu Shutong stood up and went to the door to greet him.
Cun regret said: "Okay, there are slaves and maids!" After Cun Xi went, he quickly brought Xue Yinong over, and said some congratulatory words on the way, "Congratulations to the son on getting married." ”
"Thank you, how is Niangniang doing? No one bothered her! ”
Cun Xi smiled: "No, since Gongzi taught Su Yushi a lesson, no one dares to hit the muzzle of the gun with death." While speaking, the person had already arrived, and he did not enter, but shouted loudly at the door, "Madam, the son is here." He said to Xue Yinong: "Son, my wife is in the house, you can see it when you go in, the slave and maid still want to talk to Luo Yan about sisterhood, and I can't accompany you for the time being." ”
Cun regretted a smile on his face, and pulled away the fallen geese who refused to leave.
"What are you pulling me for?"
"Long time no see, can't I miss you? I heard that you are going to have a new mistress, poor man, I don't know if that is a good servant, you have to be smart. ”
Luo Yan said awkwardly: "You don't need to say it, you better take care of yourself, your mother is only afraid that she is the most difficult woman to serve in the world." ”
"You care about me?"
"Not really."
Cun Xi laughed.
