Chapter Ninety-Three: Marriage
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
According to the usual practice, the emperor invited hundreds of officials to bring their families to enjoy the lanterns in the imperial garden.
The banquet was held for a hundred banquets, and for a time the royal garden was more lively than the most prosperous street in the capital.
The ladies complimented each other on their children, their clothes, and their jewelry.
Suddenly, a shrill voice sounded, "The emperor and the queen have arrived." ”
Suddenly, there was silence in the imperial garden.
But seeing the tall and majestic figure, dressed in bright yellow, the emperor wearing a golden crown and the queen wearing a sky blue embroidered five ** phoenixes were one step behind, and they came.
"Long live the emperor, long live it! Niang Chitose, Chitose! And they all knelt down in unison.
The emperor glanced at everyone and said flat.
Before everyone could get up, the little eunuch's shrill voice rang out again, "The Queen Mother has arrived." ”
"The Queen Mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" The crowd spoke in unison.
"Let's be flat." The Queen Mother sat down on the main seat of the head and said lightly.
Then the crowd stood up and sat down again.
The eldest princess and the women of each royal palace sat at a table, and the nobles and the courtiers' relatives sat in order of rank.
Men on the left and women on the right, sitting at separate tables.
After three rounds of drinking, the Queen Mother whispered a few words to Mama Chun.
"The daughter of Prime Minister Su, Su Tong is here?" Mama Chun said loudly to everyone at the banquet, "The Queen Mother is invited." ”
"Here, here." The Prime Minister's wife's voice trembled, and she pushed Su Tong, who was sitting at the bottom, "Don't go quickly." ”
It is a great honor to be personally named by the Queen Mother.
Hearing this, the queen's eyes flashed slightly, her heart was churning, but her face was clear and inconspicuous.
What kind of tricks is this old immortal doing?
Su Tong stepped forward generously in the eyes of everyone's envy and jealousy, and blessed the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother nodded secretly.
"Sure enough, it's a wonderful person." Kindly stretched out his hand to personally help Su Tong up, and rewarded a green and transparent jade bracelet.
"The royal sister has a good eye." The Queen Mother smiled and said to the eldest princess, "This woman is extraordinary. ”
"It's my daughter-in-law who has a good eye." The eldest princess lifted up her daughter-in-law.
The Otani clan was busy and didn't dare.
The Queen Mother pulled Su Tong and asked a few more cordial questions, and the conversation changed.
"I heard you have a cousin, I wonder if you can come today?"
Su Tong nodded and pointed to Su Jin, who was sitting next to her.
"Coming, there."
The Queen Mother winked at Mama Chun.
"The daughter of the Su family, Su Jin, the Queen Mother is invited."
"Me?" Su Jin was stunned for a moment, why did the Queen Mother suddenly think of her, a sojourner?
She didn't allow her to think too much, and the prime minister's wife was already urging with a smile in her eyebrows, "Go quickly." ”
Everyone here is a human spirit, although I don't know what the Queen Mother has in mind, in short, I know that something is going to happen, and it must be related to Su Jin.
The gazes of everyone looking at Su Jin became complicated.
The Queen Mother took Su Jin's hand and asked a few words, and gave Su Jian the same jade bracelet.
"This bracelet was originally a pair, but it is given to you sisters today, and you sisters will love each other even more in the future."
What do you mean?
Everyone wants to know what kind of medicine the queen mother is selling in this gourd.
Fortunately, the Queen Mother didn't let everyone wait too long.
Holding one hand and saying to the emperor, "Sufu is a scholar, and the girls who have been taught are all gentle and kind." ”
As he spoke, he stared at the emperor with burning eyes.
The emperor felt a headache, "That's what the queen mother said. ”
Hearing this, the Empress Dowager nodded with satisfaction.
"The prince's mansion is a single book, according to the opinion of the mourning family, it is better to give Su Jin to the prince as a side concubine." She said, "I wonder what the emperor thinks?"
Hearing this, Su Jin was stunned, and when she reacted, she was pleasantly surprised, but she didn't expect the queen mother to ask the emperor to marry her or the prince, and she was surprised why it was her?
looked up and saw her cousin Su Tong, and suddenly she understood that the Queen Mother was right, she should indeed love her cousin more.
Thinking so, he secretly glanced at the crown prince and the crown princess.
The prince's face was the same, and the princess was also secretly looking at her, and nodded and smiled kindly when she met her gaze.
Su Jin lowered her head as quickly as if she had been caught doing something bad.
In fact, it's not how generous the princess is, she has always known that the prince will not be her alone, as long as it is not He Linling, as for who the others are, what does it matter, and there will only be more in the future, and no matter how many people there are, as long as she is content with her heart, no one can shake her status, so that the cautious eye makes people feel that they can't get on the stage, and they show people jokes.
The rest of the people were also surprised, Prime Minister Su and Emperor Zhenguogong's right-hand men, the two of them are usually inconspicuous, and they have no intersection, and suddenly the two families became in-laws.
Before everyone could wake up from this shock, the Queen Mother dropped another bombshell on everyone.
Su Jin gave the crown prince as a side concubine, and Su Tong married Tong Yufei...... Everyone's eyes flickered.
The Queen Mother began to pave the way for the crown prince?
The emperor is in the prime of life, and he can tolerate the crown prince threatening his position?
The crowd stretched out their ears and waited for the emperor's reaction.
"What the queen mother said is very true," the emperor didn't raise his eyelids, "Su's daughter is gentle and generous to the prince as a side concubine, and she will get married on a certain day." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, the emperor was really ...... to the prince Great, everyone's eyes involuntarily drifted to the queen, and then involuntarily remembered the late former queen.
The queen looked at everything in front of her coldly, her nails digging deep into her flesh, after so many years, he had never forgotten her. Her chest heaved violently.
and the old immortal, I know that she didn't have any good intentions.
No, she must not let them get their wish, the queen's silver teeth rattled.
"The niece of the concubine has also reached marriageable age," the queen adjusted her breath and changed her smile to a smile, "It's better to have fun today, and ask the emperor to give Linling a good marriage." ”
He Linling was overjoyed, her aunt was finally going to give her to the prince's mansion. Although the emperor has just given Su Jin into the prince's mansion, it doesn't matter, with her beauty and family strength, she doesn't believe that she can't fight an orphan girl without a father and mother.
Just as He Linling was dreaming, the emperor's loud voice rang out.
"Oh, I wonder which prince the queen has taken a fancy to?"
The crown prince, He Linling shouted in her heart, say it quickly.
Her nervous palms were sweating.
"The emperor still remembers the phoenix crown last time," the queen chuckled, "Speaking of which, the concubine hasn't been rewarded to him well, and the words have changed, and the concubine has seen him as a good match ...... his appearance."
He Linling didn't hear what the queen said later, she only felt her ears buzzing and her head spinning.
This is her good aunt, a good aunt who keeps saying that she is her own daughter.
It turned out to be all lies.
Seeing that she had no hope of marrying into the prince's mansion, she just casually found someone to send her away?
Didn't you give a good reward for the phoenix crown last time? In her heart, she can't compare to a phoenix crown? A broken phoenix crown sold her.
Su Jin's fatherless and motherless orphan daughters can marry into the prince's mansion, why can she He Linling be talented and beautiful, why can she only marry a lowly businessman?
Why why?
Yes, it must have been that lowly businessman who encouraged my aunt, it must be so.
He Linling, who was still complaining about the queen just now, turned her face and pushed the sin on Hua Qianyue, who didn't know anything.
Just when He Linling was depressed and unwilling, God heard her heart and sent her a savior.
"Nonsense," the emperor lowered his face, "how can the daughter of the dignified earl's palace be given to a merchant as a wife, and he is not afraid of people's jokes." "I looked around as if I was looking for a suitable candidate, and finally my eyes were fixed on the face of the third prince.
"I think it's still the third child who is the most suitable, and give the third child as a side concubine."
The ministers ate silently, and the queen mother included the prime minister and the prince of Zhenguo under the prince's banner, but the emperor kicked the prince's family into the camp of the three princes.
What does the emperor mean by this?
Support their brother fight? Or is it a test for the He family?
I'm afraid that this court will not be calm from now on, and how to go on this road in the future must be carefully selected and selected.
