Chapter 432: Marriage Proposal
Concubine Shu is quite unaccustomed to the posture of the virtuous concubine.
Is that seat so easy to fight for? Even if you have the support of the Queen Mother, the odds of winning have greatly increased, but it cannot be said that it will be successful. As long as this position is not settled for a day, then a day is not counted.
Now he who promises this and that, to whom will he be rash?
Regarding Concubine Shu's words, Concubine Xian was very unimpressed.
"Is it possible that things will change now? Hmph, we used to beg them, but now, I'm afraid they are more anxious than we are! Just let them hurry up first. ”
Concubine Xian gloated and said that she wanted Xiao Xiao to be her daughter-in-law before, but I don't know how many trips to Funing Palace, but the Queen Mother just pushed back and refused to agree. That low-spirited wretched spirit, Concubine Xian still remembers it vividly. And now, it is time for the Queen Mother and the Xiao family to also taste this taste.
The Queen Mother and the Lord Protector are probably waiting for her to officially come to the door to talk about it.
After all, although the second prince proposed his marriage in public, the matter of marriage has always been the words of the matchmaker at the behest of his parents, where can it be counted by the juniors? Even if Jiang Lihua asked to abdicate, he didn't count. Before the emperor made a formal decree, she was still Princess Ning, who was married to the second prince Ming Media.
Only when the emperor and concubine Xian officially came forward, agreed with the Xiao family about this matter, and made an order, can this matter be truly decided. Then it's time for the official marriage process.
After eating the Xiao family, Concubine Xian was not in a hurry at all at this time. turned to think about it, and wanted to play the prestige of the future mother-in-law. lest Xiao Xiao rely on her background, and the second prince begged to marry under the eyes of so many people from the Son of Heaven, courtiers, and the common people, her tail was cocked, and she didn't look at her mother-in-law and the husband of the second prince.
When Concubine Shu saw it, she secretly sneered in her heart, she hadn't become a mother-in-law yet, so she started to put it first, who did she think she was? Don't look at how much more noble Xiao Xiao is than her background, Ma doesn't know how long her face is.
Concubine Shu secretly ridiculed in her heart, but with her relationship with Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian made up her mind that she didn't want to go, could she still force her to go?
So he only smiled and said: "What my sister said is, it's just that my sister is timid, and I'm worried about the long nights and dreams, so I have more words." Since my sister knows it in her heart, then I won't talk about it. ”
After the matter was finished, Concubine Shu took Jiang Lihua and left the Evergreen Palace.
After staying away from the Evergreen Palace, Concubine Shu spit out a sentence: "It's really shallow and frivolous, do you think that the storage position is already in her bag?" Hum! ”
Jiang Lihua listened to Concubine Shu's words and did not say anything.
Concubine Xian is her mother-in-law, what can she say?
In her heart, Jiang Lihua also felt that what Concubine Shu said was right.
Concubine Shu told Jiang Lihua again: "What Concubine Xian just said, just listen to it, if it's true, you will be stupid." Remember, don't trust anyone's promises, you can only trust what you already have. Now, the first thing you should do is to seize the time and strive to be able to conceive as soon as possible and give birth to your eldest son, so that you can have a long time with Xiao Xiao in the future. Otherwise, why are you arguing with Xiao Xiao? If you don't want to be pressed under Xiao Xiao for the rest of your life, cheer me up. ”
Concubine Shu has suffered this kind of loss all her life, but if she has a son, why is she like this today, and she still has to look at the face of a person like Concubine Xian?
Jiang Lihua's face was slightly red, but she still nodded and put this matter in her heart. She will not be like a concubine, who will be crushed all her life. The retreat now is only for a brighter future. What belongs to her, she will definitely get it all back.
After the concubines left, Concubine Xian also said to the second prince: "Hmph, they have all fallen out of favor, and they dare to point fingers at me?" If it weren't for Lihua's face, I wouldn't have bothered to see her today. ”
The second prince smiled: "What my mother said is, but now is the time when people are needed, multiple people are always multiple helpers, she has been operating in the palace for many years, and she can be regarded as having some means." I can't offend her now. It's good for my mother to endure for a while, the real thing is really done, and when the time comes, you don't want to see her, whatever you want to send it, even if you send it to the cold palace, you will be happy with your mother. ”
Concubine Xian likes to listen to this, but she still looks at the second prince with a smile: "I'm afraid, when someone intercedes, you will be reluctant." ”
Just now, the second prince flirted with Jiang Lihua's eyebrows, and she could see it all.
The second prince smiled: "How come, my mother is the most important woman in my heart." No matter who she is, she can't go beyond her mother. In a word, my mother told me not to want anyone, I don't want anyone. ”
"I don't believe your nonsense, men, they all married their daughters-in-law and forgot their mothers."
Concubine Xian said, however, she smiled, even if she was just talking, she was happy to hear this.
Besides, the third prince Li Shiping and the fourth prince Li Shigan, compared with the eldest prince Li Shisheng and the second prince Li Shichang, they were not so happy, and they urgently summoned their respective staff members to discuss how to deal with the current situation. If they don't come up with effective countermeasures, they will fall into the disadvantage, and the good situation that they have worked so hard to manage will be put into trouble in the blink of an eye. Those who are related to them are also thinking about how to turn the situation around.
Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year passed silently.
It wasn't until the sixth day of the new year that Concubine Xian finally felt that it was almost enough, so she went to the Queen Mother's Funing Palace.
She said to the Queen Mother with great confidence: "Queen Mother, do you think it is better for the emperor and Xiao Xiao to get married?" I think February is good, it is the month when the dragon raises its head, which means good and auspicious. Although the time is too rushed, it is still in time. Otherwise, March is not bad, it is the season of spring flowers, the weather is good, lukewarm, and it is the best to be a bride. April seems to be a little hot, not very suitable. Not to mention May, June, and July. After that, it's too late. After all, Xiao Xiao is not too young, she must hurry up, otherwise, she will miss a good time to have a child, and she will have no one to rely on in that life. Queen Mother, you say, isn't this reasonable? ”
Concubine Xian said it very naturally, and she was very strong and arrogant, especially the last few words, which were really ugly, and she had a face of disgust for Xiao Xiao, which was really disgusting.
The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Xian and was afraid for a while.
She really moved the idea of letting Xiao Xiao marry the second prince, because Xiao Xiao was too resolute and her opposition was invalid, so she stopped thinking about it, but she was worried in her heart. No matter how nice the words are, more than ten years later, decades later, can Xiao Xiao still say that? When I was young, I could say anything, but when I got older, I realized the horror of loneliness. At that time, it was too late to regret it.
But now, the Queen Mother is rejoicing.
Fortunately, she didn't make a mistake, fortunately, Xiao Xiao persevered, otherwise, with Concubine Xian's face, I am afraid that she would not have to wait for more than ten years or decades, but now, she will begin to regret it.
I really didn't expect that she was still there, and Concubine Xian would be able to belittle Xiao Xiao so much. The Queen Mother sneered and looked at Concubine Xian like a clown. "Who said Xiao Xiao was going to marry Shichang? Concubine Xian, it's still broad daylight, what are you talking about? ”
