It's the triennial spring again.

Kexin knew that Brother Min was going to play a game, and prayed that Cousin Min would pass the exam this time. Even for Brother Min'er, she went to the temple to worship Manjushri and Wenqu Xing.

After An Zhichen found out, his heart was full of vinegar: "It is said that girls are extroverted, and this marriage has not been decided, so she went to ask Wenzhu Bodhisattva like this." So, it's better to be a son. "When a son marries a daughter-in-law, he marries into the door, and when a daughter marries out to marry someone else, she is a member of someone else's family, and her heart is toward someone else's family

Yue Yao listened to these sour words, and couldn't help but smile and said: "It's just that I worshiped Wenzhu Bodhisattva and Wenqu Xing, why did I get involved with my son and daughter!" ”

An Zhichen knew that he couldn't make sense with Yue Yao, because Yue Yao couldn't understand his sad mood at this time

Yue Yao felt that An Zhichen's appearance was a little funny. In fact, she is also a little sour, the girl she raised will go to someone else's house in two years, and her heart is still full of reluctance.

There will be three trials, each of which lasts for three days, for a total of nine days. But in these nine days, there were waves. On this day, An Zhichen went home with a very ugly face.

Yue Yao hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Is something wrong?" After the new emperor ascended the throne, their family was smooth and smooth, and An Zhichen never showed such a 7 look.

An Zhichen remembered what Emperor Cheng told him, and his face darkened: "Cheng Shang wants to tell Kexin to Er Chengzi." Although Emperor Cheng didn't say it explicitly, the meaning was obvious, let them not play tricks on Ke Xin's family affairs, and wait for him to give marriage by holy decree.

Yue Yao's face also changed, and she asked anxiously, "Didn't you tell the presentation that Kexin and Brother Min had changed Geng posts yesterday?" It happened to be the day of the invitation, and yesterday was an auspicious day of the zodiac, so the two families changed the Geng post.

An Zhichen smiled bitterly: "I said, it's useless. If I didn't guess wrong, Erchengzi should have known that we had changed the Geng post, so he asked for it. "An Zhichen is not willing to marry Wanting Erchengzi at all, on the one hand, the women who marry into the Chengzi family are not doing well, even if they are concubines, they are also having a hard time, he is such a girl, and naturally hopes that she will be harmonious and smooth for the rest of her life; On the other hand, Erchengzi is the son of Concubine Shu, and Kexin's marriage to Erchengzi is equivalent to their family being labeled as Erchengzi, and their family will be tied to Erchengzi's boat in the future. Emperor Cheng is only in his thirties now, and he is in the prime of life, so he is standing in line now, what is it not looking for death?

Yueyao's hands and feet were cold: "You agreed?" She didn't even want the eldest son of those big families, she was afraid that it would be too hard, so she chose Brother Min, the second son, for Kexin. If you marry Chengzi, not to mention that it will be very dangerous to compete for the prince in the future, let's just say that now, as soon as this Kexin marries, she will have to fight openly and secretly with a bunch of women, how will she live that day?

An Zhichen shook his head and said, "No." I told you that you wouldn't agree, and even if I did, it wouldn't work. An Zhichen is a little fortunate now, fortunately he bears the reputation of being afraid of his wife, even if today's events are a little embarrassing, but it is like promising this marriage in front of Emperor Cheng.

Yue Yao breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, there is still room for changing countries." "I'm afraid that An Zhichen can't help it, and if he promises to Emperor Cheng, it will be troublesome.

An Zhichen said: "This thing is playing your head. "The situation was urgent. He really had no other way than to carry Yueyao out.

Yueyao had already relaxed: "Okay." "If Kexin didn't say anything about her family, this time she would definitely not be able to get rid of it. But now that Kexin and the Ma family have changed their posts, even if they are presented, they have to be reasonable, and they can't break up other people's marriages because it is his son.

After dinner, An Zhichen told all five children about it.

When Kexin heard the news, her face turned pale. If a woman with ambition knows that she is married to Chengzi, she will definitely be happy, but Kexin is influenced by An Zhichen and Yueyao, she only thinks about marrying a husband who loves her and loves her, and lives a happy life like her father and mother in the future. But if you marry into the Cheng family, all this will come to naught.

Brother Sheng immediately asked, "Dad, mother, didn't my sister immediately play the role of marrying Cousin Min?" How do you want to give your sister to the second son? ”

Brother Xu is not a three-year-old child anymore, and he knows that if his sister marries Erchengzi, he will definitely have a hard time in the future: "Dad, mother, can you find a way to push it?" ”

Brother Yang is still young and has no right to speak.

Yueyao just wanted to speak, but An Zhichen held her hand, which meant that she didn't talk. An Zhichen looked at Brother Xu and said: "It's not that we can't push this marriage, but once we push this marriage, it will be equivalent to sweeping the face presented." Those who dare to sweep the top will not end well. This is not that An Zhichen is scaring a few children, but An Zhichen knows that if he pushes down this marriage, Emperor Cheng will not say anything at that time, but he will definitely have to find fault with him in private. Emperor Cheng played the stubble of looking for his courtiers, but it was not easy to find

Brother Sheng and Brother Xu'er's faces changed.

When Kexin heard this, she immediately knelt in front of Yueyao and An Zhichen, and said, "Dad, mother, I know that you love me, but the holy order is difficult to disobey, and I can't implicate the people in the family because of me." "If it's because she implicates her father and mother and several younger brothers, then she is a sinner in the family.

Yueyao wanted to appease Kexin, but was stopped by An Zhichen.

After the four children went out, Yueyao asked, "We pushed this family, will we really blame you?" ”

An Zhichen shook his head and said, "I don't know, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable." "If you meet Emperor Cheng in a good mood, maybe forget it.

Yue Yao really felt that this was a flying disaster.

Kexin returned to her yard, thinking about what had just happened, she couldn't hold back any longer, and tears fell from her eyes. These tears are not only mourning her girlish feelings, but also the fear of future life. Cheng family, although everyone envies the woman who married into the Cheng family, she is a thousand and ten thousand unwilling to go. Marrying into the Cheng family means never-ending strife and calculation. Then she doesn't have the life she has now.

Ah Cha cautiously persuaded: "Girl, we should also think on the bright side, no matter what, the second Chengzi is the son of Chengshang, and the girl is the concubine of Chengzi when she marries." Concubine Chengzi, how many people can't think of it! "So far, I can only comfort my own girl like this, otherwise my own girl will get into the tip of the horns, it will be bad.

Ke Xin was comforted by Ah Cha, and quickly put away her tears: "You are right, so far, you can only look forward." "It's because my father and mother love her, so I didn't think about letting her marry into that complicated family, let alone marrying her into the Cheng family. She also hopes that it will be smooth, but now that she presents Chrysostom, those can only be dreams. In order not to implicate her family, she not only married, but also married happily

Ma Peng and Zhuang Ruolan also got the news quickly, and Zhuang Ruolan's face was very ugly: "Erchengzi is not early or late, but at this time, he asks Admiral Kexin to give him, what is the idea?" "I just changed the Geng post yesterday, and today such a thing happened, absolutely deliberately.

Ma Peng is now the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Officials is the head of the six departments, and it is very good to be able to sit in this position.

Zhuang Ruolan saw that Ma Peng didn't speak for a long time, and said hurriedly: "Master, won't Ke Xinzhen marry Erchengzi?" "The daughter-in-law she has been looking forward to for so long is now settled, but it is so bad to think about it.

Ma Peng pondered for a moment and said, "This matter depends on what Yueyao and An Zhichen do?" If they dare not disobey the holy decree, then they must be summoned back as soon as possible. "Ma Peng is also a very rational person, even if Yueyao and them agree to this marriage, he will not have any complaints.

Zhuang Ruolan immediately said: "Impossible, Yueyao hurts Kexin so much, how can she be willing to let her marry into the Cheng family." Yueyao will definitely refuse. ”

Ma Peng nodded, he also thought so: "If Yueyao and An Zhichen have a marriage with our family Amin, so they politely refuse the marriage offer, we can't hold them back." Ma Peng's meaning is very clear, everything depends on the choice of Yueyao and An Zhichen.

Zhuang Ruolan clutched her chest and said, "I hope everything goes smoothly." ”

This night was destined to be a sleepless night.

Early the next morning, someone came to the palace to announce Yueyao's entry into the palace.

An Zhichen heard that it was Chenghou Xuanren, and his heart was a lot more relaxed: "Chenghou and Concubine Shu are not dealing with each other, and I believe that Chenghou will definitely not be happy with the second Chengzi marrying our family Kexin." "He is in charge of the forbidden army, his power is so great, and their in-laws are all not bad, as the prince's mother-in-law, Chenghou definitely doesn't want Erchengzi to grow his power.

Yue Yao nodded.

An Zhichen looked at Yue Yao and said with a smile: "When you arrive at the Cheng Palace, take out the momentum that you said to your uncle that day that you were unwilling to succeed Brother Xu, this matter must be fine." ”

Yue Yao said angrily: "When is this, you are still in the mood to joke." Yue Yao only thought that her daughter might marry into the Cheng family, and she was in a bad mood. I didn't sleep well all night, and my eyes were a little red and swollen.

An Zhichen really wanted Yueyao to relax a little, and deliberately said something to mediate the atmosphere. Until the gate of the palace, An Zhichen said: "Geng Ti has been changed, just play cousin and cousin-in-law without flinching, this marriage is a certainty." ”

Yueyao is still very confident in Ma Peng and Zhuang Ruolan.

An Zhichen nodded and said, "My cousin has no problem with my cousin's sister-in-law, so there will be no change in this marriage." An Zhichen also felt that Ma Peng and Zhuang Ruolan were not the kind of people who would retreat when they encountered trouble.

In the past few years, Yueyao has occasionally accompanied Mingzhu into the palace to visit the Empress Dowager Taicheng, and she can often see Empress Chenghou in the Empress Dowager's bedroom, so Yueyao is no stranger to Empress Cheng.

However, at this time, in Kunning Palace, in addition to Chenghou, there is also Concubine Shu. The concubine was dressed in a pale green flowery palace dress, draped in a layer of golden tulle, and the wide hem of the garment was rusted with purple patterns; The hair is combed into a flying cloud bun, and the sideburns are loosely and obliquely inserted with a purple and gold peony silk flower; Smile and groan, with thousands of manners.

Yue Yao looked at Cheng Hou who was wearing a bright red palace dress embroidered with a phoenix. After presenting, her appearance is not as good as that of Concubine Shu, but her graceful and luxurious bearing is incomparable to Concubine Shu.

Yue Yao saluted the queen, and then saluted Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu looked at Yue Yao with a hint of jealousy in her eyes. Concubine Shu is very good at maintenance, and a woman in her thirties looks like she is only twenty-five or sixteen years old, so Concubine Shu is still very complacent. But this kind of self-satisfaction will become scum in front of Yueyao. This is still Yue Yao wearing the costume of Mrs. Decree to restrain her temperament, otherwise Concubine Shu will become more and more jealous.

The latter was very kind, and after inviting Yueyao to take a seat, he immediately went straight to the point and talked about it. As An Zhichen expected, Chenghou didn't want the second Chengzi to marry Kexin. An Zhichen holds a lot of power, and has a relationship with Jingning Houfu, and even Yueyao has a very good relationship with the household department and the servant of the ministry, if Er Chengzi marries the eldest daughter of Pingyang Bo, wouldn't it be a big boost to Er Chengzi. It's just that she doesn't want to do it anymore, since it is something entrusted to her by Emperor Cheng, then she must not make a mistake on her face.

Of course, there can be no mistakes on the face, and small actions can still be done. For example, when Chenghou told Yueyao about this, he showed without a trace that the second Chengzi took a fancy to Kexin, and then asked for it.

Yue Yao immediately stood up and confessed, and then said that Kexin had already decided to marry: "It is a great blessing for Her Second Highness to be able to take a fancy to the little girl, but one daughter is not allowed to have two husbands, and she also asks for forgiveness from the queen mother and the concubine." ”

Concubine Shu's face was not good-looking, and she said coldly: "I haven't heard of your girl's marriage yesterday, and a family affair will pop up at night?" Lian, do you know the consequences of the crime of deceit? "It is not an exaggeration to say that Concubine Shu is guilty of deceitful king, because this is what it means.

After presenting, she felt that Concubine Shu was too anxious. Lian and An Zhichen are not fools, how can they not know the consequences of the crime of bullying the king: "When did Miss An decide to marry?" Whose family is it? Why hasn't there been any rumors at all? ”

Concubine Shu's face became more and more ugly, and the meaning in her words showed that she believed in the marriage of the eldest girl of the An family.

Yueyao7 said as usual: "It's my cousin's second son, Brother Min." Originally, the little girl and Lu should have decided on the family affairs in the future, but it happened to be a spring festival in March. Because he was worried that Brother Min would be distracted by knowing about the marriage, he didn't say anything about it. ”

The smile on Chenghou's face was a little more genuine.

Concubine Shu didn't buy it, and said, "In other words, the two of you haven't decided to marry at all?" ”

Yue Yao7's expression did not fluctuate at all: "A gentleman's promise is more important than a daughter." Since I promised to give my daughter to the Ma family, it is impossible to go back on my word and give my daughter to others. Yueyao didn't say anything about exchanging Geng posts, and directly released her attitude.

Concubine Shu was so angry that her face turned blue at the moment, her son was a nobleman, he only played her son and didn't play others, where was the turn of others to dislike her son: "You are presumptuous!" ”

Yueyao was not afraid, let alone apologized, but 7 Shise said as usual: "Niangniang, if the courtiers say something wrong, please correct it." "Yueyao is not stupid, if they refuse this marriage, they will definitely offend Concubine Shu and Erchengzi, anyway, they are all offended and hated by the other party, so why do they have to do it like to be wronged.

Concubine Shu has been in a high position in the past few years, and because of Emperor Cheng's favor, and she gave birth to two sons and three princesses, even after Cheng, she has saved enough face. But today, Yueyao's attitude is so arrogant, and Concubine Shu's face can be described as colorful.

Cheng Hou smiled and played the round.

At this time, there were palace people outside: "Present the queen mother, Mama Li is asking to see outside." "This Mama Li is the personal mother of the Empress Dowager Taicheng.

Immediately after the submission, Mama Li was invited in.

After Mama Li saluted Empress Cheng and Concubine Shu, she said: "Empress Dowager Taicheng heard that Mrs. Lian had entered the palace, and said that she hadn't seen Mrs. Lian for a long time. The meaning of this is very clear, the matter here is over, she tricked Yueyao to go to the Empress Dowager.

The anger in Concubine Shu's stomach disappeared at once. Emperor Cheng was very filial to the Empress Dowager, in case she made the Empress Dowager Taicheng unhappy, she couldn't eat and walk around.

After Chenghou felt that there was no need to talk about it anymore, he would definitely play it, so he rushed to Yueyao's attitude, and Erchengzi would definitely not be able to marry a girl who settled down. Chenghou stood up with a smile and said, "My business is over, Mrs. Lian, you can follow Mama Li for a trip!" ”

When Yueyao saw the Empress Dowager Taicheng, she thanked the Empress Dowager Taicheng very sincerely. Empress Dowager Taicheng asked Mama Li to go to Kunning Palace, which clearly meant to support her.

Empress Dowager Taicheng said with a smile: "I haven't heard you explain the Buddhist scriptures to me for a long time, and I can't miss it today." ”

Yueyao explained the Buddhist scriptures to the Empress Dowager Taicheng, and did not leave the Chenggong Palace and return home until she finished lunch with the Empress Dowager Taicheng.

Yue Yao said to Xiang Wei: "I really admire the Empress Dowager Taicheng. "climbed from a low-level concubine to a concubine, and became a queen without an heir, and then became the queen mother, the queen mother, and won the respect and love of two emperors, which is really not something ordinary people can do.

Xiang Wei smiled and said, "Empress Dowager Taicheng is a strange woman. "This kind of tenacity is really not something that ordinary people can have.

Yue Yao nodded.

Xiang Wei said: "Is this the end of the matter?" ”

Yue Yao shook her head and said, "I guess it's not over yet." "Yueyao is a pity, it's good to let her see Emperor Cheng directly, then save a lot of tongue.

It's really not over.

Until An Zhichen didn't come back in the evening, Yueyao waited a little anxiously, and then heard the maid below say that the earl was back.

When Yueyao saw An Zhichen, she asked anxiously, "What did you say?" ”

An Zhichen7's expression was relatively calm: "The meaning of the presentation is to let Brother Sheng still be the master." He thought of many possibilities, but he didn't expect Emperor Cheng to come up with such a move.

Yue Yao sighed, this can't help but be surprising. But soon, Yue Yao was very unhappy again. What does the emperor mean here, first he wanted to tell Kexin to Erchengzi, but they just resigned and played Brother Sheng's master. Why is the emperor here always staring at their children!

A hint of essence flashed in the corner of An Zhichen's eyes: "Kexin's matter is probably a test of me, and our performance is very satisfactory, so we are ready to let Brother Sheng still be the master." "In this way, I don't want the two to be big!

Yue Yao felt that there was an old saying that was really true, and the sacred heart was unpredictable: "Which princess do you want Sheng Ershang to present?" "The three princesses in front of Emperor Cheng are not married, and they are all about the same age as Brother Sheng, so they can only choose among the three. But the eldest princess is domineering; The second princess's mother is gone, and now she is raised under the name of Concubine De; As for the third princess, she is the daughter of Concubine Shu. The third princess is excluded first, except for the eldest princess, the second princess.

An Zhichen said: "Present Brother Sheng to the second princess." ”

Yue Yao breathed a sigh of relief, it was not the eldest princess who was domineering, but the second princess who was gentle, which was a great luck in misfortune.

At this time, Yue Yao heard the maid say that the prince was back, looked at An Zhichen and said pitifully: "You said that Brother Sheng knew what would happen if he knew that he was playing the master?" "The civil department said that Emperor Cheng's daughter is not worried about getting married, but in fact, Emperor Cheng's daughter is also worried about marrying. Only play a talented and capable man, and he is unwilling to be a princess, because if he is still the lord, he has to stay away from power, receive a false title, and then live this life.

An Zhichen thinks that Brother Sheng'er is also good.
