Chapter 28: Matchmaking
After Li Hongmao came out after washing his face, he happened to see that the "divine bird" he gave to the Queen Mother was looking at him with blank eyes, and walked over and put his index finger into the bird cage, and the bird took the initiative to stretch out its claws and put it on his index finger.
Li Hongmao is a serious way; "Auntie, you can raise this divine bird well."
The Queen Mother's laughter is not the way; "Shunxin, you sent it, can it not go well?"
"It's good that my aunt is happy, Your Majesty is busy with politics, and I can't always accompany my aunt, and my nephew has to be on duty now, so I can't always come to my aunt."
The Queen Mother looked at his expression and said; "Amao, come here, my aunt has something to tell you."
Li Hongmao stuffed a piece of pastry in his mouth, swallowed it, took a sip of the teacup and smoothed his airway; "Auntie, have something to say."
The Queen Mother; "Have you seen Ruoxuan from the eldest princess Fuhui's family?"
Li Hongmao immediately said vigilantly; "I've seen it, what's wrong? Didn't she just enter the palace with the eldest princess Fuhui today? My aunt wants to ask me about her. ”
"You're not too young, and it's time to find a daughter-in-law."
When Li Hongmao heard that it was really not a good thing, he immediately interrupted the Queen Mother; "Aunt and aunt, don't say it, please, I, I don't want to get married now."
The Queen Mother took care of herself; "Ruo Xuan of the eldest princess of Fuhui, the mourning family has seen her, she is a good girl, you have also seen her, and her identity and appearance are as compatible with you."
Li Hongmao was a little puzzled, how could the queen mother be a matchmaker today, not to mention that he hadn't seen the Ruoxuan girl of the eldest princess Fuhui's family, that girl, she looked good, but her temperament was very bad, why did the queen mother suddenly want to make herself and her a pair, thinking that the eldest princess of Fuhui took Zhang Ruoxuan into the palace today, and said in her heart that Zhang Ruoxuan had taken a fancy to herself, so she asked the eldest princess of Fuhui to take her to ask the queen mother for marriage.
The Queen Mother was a little weak by Li Hongmao's confused eyes, that Zhang Ruoxuan's identity and appearance were good, she thought that she was at fault for what happened just now, and her nephew was not bad, if she could let that Zhang Ruoxuan marry her nephew, it would not be considered to have wronged Zhang Ruoxuan.
Li Hongmao knew that the Queen Mother was about to pull the red line as soon as he saw the Queen Mother's expression, and hurriedly shouted; "Auntie, if you don't take your nephew like this, the Ruoxuan girl of the eldest princess of Fuhui's family is notoriously bad, if you really let your nephew marry that kind of tigress, you will never see this lively and lovely nephew again, aunt, you can't pit your nephew."
Li Hongmao howled like a mournful scream, and the Queen Mother sneered; "Is that girl so bad-tempered? It's a good thing to look at at the mourning family. ”
Li Hongmao was afraid that his aunt's brain would be hot and he would directly give marriage, and he would not be able to redeem it when he wanted to, so he crossed his hands on his waist and learned Zhang Ruoxuan's tone; "This girl is the daughter of the eldest princess of Fuhui in the current dynasty, what are you, don't you kowtow to this girl quickly and confess."
This sentence is learned vividly, to say that this thing is also a coincidence, that day Li Hongmao just returned to Beijing and saw that Zhang Ruoxuan had a conflict with a girl, at that time that Zhang Ruoxuan was so arrogant to the girl opposite, without caring about the face of the girl's family, he forced the girl to kowtow to her before he would stop.
After Li Hongmao finished studying, he cried and said with a sad face; "Auntie, that's it, that girl has a bad temper and a vicious mind, and my nephew can't marry such a daughter-in-law and go home."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, the Queen Mother nodded thoughtfully, and then waved her hand; "That's it, the mourning family still thinks she's a good one, even so, the mourning family can't let you marry such a daughter-in-law and go back."
"I knew that my aunt loved me, and she would be reluctant for me to marry such a daughter-in-law and go home."
The Queen Mother already loves Li Hongmao, and she originally wanted to match this marriage, but she just thought Zhang Ruoxuan was good, but now that she learned that Zhang Ruoxuan had a bad temperament, she naturally would not let Li Hongmao marry her.
"Why did my aunt suddenly think of asking her nephew to marry Zhang Ruoxuan today?"
The Queen Mother sighed and said; "Today, the eldest princess Fuhui entered the palace and said that she wanted Ruoxuan to marry Her Majesty, and the mourning family saw that her temperament was not suitable, so they thought of finding another family for her."
After all, it's hard to talk about, even if it's her nephew, it's hard to say, so the Queen Mother casually made up an excuse.
Li Hongmao Road; "Her temperament naturally can't be the mother of the country, but if your aunt wants to marry her to her nephew, people may not look down on her nephew's identity."
This is true, the eldest princess Fuhui's eyes are above the top, and she has been eyeing her daughter for a long time to be the queen, how can she be willing to let her daughter marry a prince of the princess, although the status of the prince of the princess is precious, but where is it more valuable than His Majesty.
The Queen Mother smiled; "Shigeru, haven't you always thought you were suave, gentle and considerate?"
The corners of Li Hongmao's eyes twitched, and he suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and his aunt originally planned to let herself go to Shi Mei Men, thinking of Zhang Ruoxuan's face, Li Hongmao couldn't help but feel a chill, he is also a dignified prince of the public mansion, and he doesn't need to ask for a daughter-in-law to be a beautiful man.
The Queen Mother suddenly had a flash of inspiration and clapped her hands; "A-Mao, does my aunt hurt you?"
Li Hongmao glanced at the Queen Mother vigilantly, and then nodded; "It hurts."
"Then would you do my aunt a favor?"
"It's not good, aunt, you don't really want me to marry someone like that, didn't you just say that you won't marry?"
Li Hongmao complained.
"You child, how can my aunt harm you?"
The Queen Mother frowned, her eyes were full of spoiling, she would be coquettish, and she looked good and knew that who didn't like a distressed child?
Li Hongmao scratched his head and said with a smile; "It's okay if it's not, anyway, my nephew won't marry that kind of person, what does my aunt want my nephew to help."
"The mourning family rejected the eldest princess Fuhui today, but I am afraid that the eldest princess Fuhui will not be able to give up, and the mourning family is worried that she will find trouble for Her Majesty in the court, after all, she is a princess and an elder of Her Majesty, and she also said it to the princes of the clan, you should also know the son of her family outside the palace, and the Mourning family asked you to find a way to let Zhang Borong, the prince of the Marquis of Ruyang, know that His Majesty intends to establish a virtuous concubine as the queen."
"Okay, that's easy."
Li Hongmao nodded in agreement without saying a word, and then said; "It's just that in this way, the eldest princess Fuhui is only afraid that she will find trouble with Concubine Xian, and this matter needs to be known to His Majesty."
Li Hongmao is not stupid, it is one thing to have a good relationship with His Majesty, and it is another thing to involve the affairs of the imperial harem, their Li family is the queen mother's family, they have to be more cautious, the family relationship of the heavenly family is the most difficult to maintain, the aunt is careful to maintain the mother-son relationship with His Majesty in this harem, if there is no aunt, how can there be the glory of the Li family today, people should be content, their Li family has received the emperor's grace, and they should be loyal to His Majesty.
"The mourning family will inform the Majesty of this, His Majesty is the son of the mourning family, what he wants, the mourning family is naturally able to do more for him, His Majesty has been drugged by Concubine Jingde since he was a child because of the loss of the mourning family, and his health has not been good since he was a child, and now he is the lord of a country, and he is working hard for the state every day, and the mourning family really can't bear to see him overwork."
Li Hongmao can be sure that his aunt is blaming herself for not protecting her majesty back then, in fact, why isn't his aunt thinking about the late prince?
Every time Qi Jinghuan's physical condition is mentioned, it is a pain in the heart of the Queen Mother, in the heart of the Queen Mother, her son is weak, all because he was poisoned when he was a child and left sequelae, so that now he does not even have an heir.
Li Hongmao was afraid of touching the Queen Mother's sadness, and hurriedly thought about how to divert the Queen Mother's attention, although he really didn't see where his vigorous emperor's cousin was weak, but he couldn't stand his aunt thinking that he was weak, every time he mentioned his emperor's cousin's body, his aunt was deeply remorseful, and scolded Concubine Jingde who had been poisoned at the beginning, Li Hongmao was a little embarrassed to listen, even if Concubine Jingde was poisoned at the beginning, but that person would have died a long time ago. Now that I have been buried underground for so many years, I am still being nagged by the Queen Mother like this, I don't know if I regret that I was confused for a while, murdered the prince, and even if I died, I would have to be talked about for so many years, and I would not be able to live in peace underground.
"Auntie, since you asked your nephew to do you a favor, then your nephew also asked you to do a favor."
The Queen Mother replied; "You kid has begged the mourning family so many times, and the mourning family asked you to help this time, and you still made a request."
Li Hongmao stuffed the last piece of pastry on the plate in his mouth and said vaguely; "Auntie's words are not right, isn't the nephew causing less trouble to my aunt? Even if the aunt doesn't let the nephew do anything, the nephew has to ask the aunt for help. ”
His words amused the Queen Mother, which naturally looked like His Majesty when he was a child.
Seeing him gobbling up and looking hungry, the Queen Mother felt distressed again, a good prince of the princess, what do you have to do General Raushzi, this wind and sun are blowing, and I feel distressed when I look at it.
"Tell me, what do you want your aunt to do for you."
"It's my aunt who loves me the most."
Li Hongmao first praised the Queen Mother, and then scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed, the Queen Mother was curious when she saw him like this, the last time her nephew showed this appearance, it was when her nephew wetted the bed in her side hall when she was the queen.
In the end, Li Hongmao smashed his mouth and said; "My nephew wants to ask my aunt about someone."
"Who?" The Queen Mother asked curiously, isn't it her nephew who is also in love.
Li Hongmao's face was shy, "My nephew wants to know the female official of the former King Anping, Shen Youan, who is now the daughter of His Majesty. ”
