Chapter 19

Hearing her daughter's words, Qi Guifei intuitively said, "It's not appropriate! ”

"For what?" The seventh princess was anxious, and said hatefully: "Is it really Li Mingjin who is the most reluctant to marry the imperial cousin?" I don't promise! ”

Qi Guifei frowned, and patiently analyzed the situation for her daughter: "The King of Jin is from the prince's line, if the King of Jin marries Li Mingjin and gets the support of General Zhenbei, the power of the prince's family will be more solid, which is not good for your imperial brother." Saying that, he sighed, "If Ling Jie doesn't have a princess, the palace can ask the emperor to marry Li Mingjin to Ling Jie, but it's a pity that ......"

Although the eldest daughter of Marquis Weiyuan has entered the prince's mansion as a side concubine, Concubine Li is only the niece of General Zhenbei, where can she compare to her own daughter? Coupled with Li Jiyao's certain urine, Qi Guifei really didn't want Li Mingjin to marry anyone in the prince's family.

"Then you can let Li Mingjin be the side concubine of the imperial brother!" The seventh princess blurted out, and after she spoke, she felt more and more that this idea was good, "As long as Li Mingjin becomes the side concubine of the second emperor brother, it will also be the help of the second emperor brother!" ”

Qi Guifei was so angry with this whimsical daughter that she fell to the back, and when she was about to correct her whimsy, a palace lady reported outside: "Niangniang, princess, Miss Li, the daughter of General Zhenbei, has arrived." ”

"Let her in."

Qi Guifei pursed her lips and looked at her daughter with bright eyes, but she didn't say anything.

****

Ah Bao came in with Mama Gong'e, and respectfully saluted the first Qi Guifei and the seventh princess sitting beside her, and when she was called, the seventh princess had already left the table enthusiastically and came over to take her hand.

"Mingjin, you're finally here, I've been looking forward to you for a long time." The seventh princess said coquettishly.

Ah Bao was terrified by her enthusiasm, and still had a decent smile on his face and a grateful expression: "It is also an honor for Ming Jin to be missed by the princess." ”

After Gong E served the refreshments, she stepped aside with a smile, and the seventh princess pulled Ah Bao to sit at the bottom of Qi Guifei.

Qi Guifei looked at the girl with a respectful and calm posture, bright and lovely, although it was not stunning, but it was also commendable. It's just that compared to the palace with beautiful women, it is not the most outstanding, and the smile on her face is warm, and when the smile is slightly deeper, a small tiger tooth comes out of the corner of her mouth, which makes people feel that this little girl is quite cute and kind.

Qi Guifei somewhat understood why the eldest princess of Changping would ask Li Mingjin, except for the reason for General Zhenbei, this Li Mingjin is obviously a gentle and pleasing girl, Changping has always been dictatorial and domineering, but she is not willing to have a daughter-in-law with a noble status who will work against her, so she naturally wants to choose a gentle and pleasing girl for her son.

Ah Bao secretly looked at Qi Guifei, I heard that she is in her forties this year, but because of proper maintenance, she looks like she is only in her early thirties, wearing a strong green palace dress, surrounded by pearls and emeralds on her head, graceful and luxurious, and has the temperament of a mature woman. At this time, there is a soft and gentle smile on his face, and there is a kind of maternal brilliance in his nobility, which makes people feel good at a glance.

"Mingjin, this palace wants to thank you for saving my naughty daughter when you were in the princess's mansion last time, if it weren't for you at that time, I don't know what she would have done, this love palace has written down." Concubine Qi took Bao's hand, loving and grateful.

Ah Bao naturally had to show her loyalty again, saying that it was her bounden duty to save the princess, but she secretly complained in her heart, next time she encountered such an unlucky thing, she would better run away and don't get involved again.

Qi Guifei and A Bao had a family affair again, and the seventh princess was impatient to listen to this, and said angrily: "Mother, today, Mingjin was called by her daughter to accompany her daughter in the palace, can you not ask endlessly?" ”

Qi Guifei laughed and said: "You child, you actually think that your mother is verbose, and another day your mother will not be verbose, see what will happen to you?" ”

"When I get married, my mother won't be able to talk about it." The Seventh Princess grimaced.

Bao: =__=! The seventh princess and the female man, finally met a fierce girl who talked about life's events instead of blushing and shy.

"You monkey, you don't even dare to say such things, and you are not ashamed!" Qi Guifei said, nodding her daughter's head, and she couldn't help laughing.

"What are you ashamed of? Isn't it something that you often talk about when a man gets married and a woman gets married? The seventh princess said, holding Ah Bao's hand affectionately, and said with a smile: "Mingjin, did you say?" She blinked her eyes and said innocently: "It's Sister Mingjin, who was born with such a beautiful appearance and moon appearance, and I don't know which son's son Lu Dao will be cheaper in the future." ”

“……”

Ah Bao suddenly had a feeling that the main event was coming, and he quickly cheered up.

Just when the seventh princess wanted to make persistent efforts and Qi Guifei wanted to stop her daughter, suddenly the whip sounded, and the voices of the palace maids and eunuchs asking for peace sounded outside.

"Greetings to the emperor!"

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Greetings to His Royal Highness King Xian!"

A middle-aged man in a bright yellow uniform walked in, followed by two young men, one in his thirties, with a short beard on his chin, gentle and dignified, and the other twenty-seven or eighteen years old, gentle and elegant, it was the crown prince Xiao Lingxi and the virtuous king Xiao Lingjie.

Concubine Qi led everyone in the hall to get up to greet her.

Emperor Zhengde picked up Qi Guifei and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, I heard Xiao Qi's laughter from afar, and I can tell you anything about Coke." ”

After everyone said goodbye, Qi Guifei and Emperor Zhengde sat down together, took the tea cup from the palace maid and brought it to Emperor Zhengde, Fang smiled: "It's not Xu'er, the girl who hasn't left the pavilion keeps saying that a man should marry a woman and she should marry, and she is not ashamed, I am ashamed of her!" ”

The seventh princess pulled the hem of Zheng Side's clothes, pouted and said, "Originally, didn't my father and mother always say that people are old and shouldn't stay in the palace for idle dinner?" I also said just now that a person like Sister Mingjin is so good, I don't know which son's son will be cheaper. Father, I like Sister Mingjin very much, Sister Mingjin saved my life, I thought at the time, how good it would be if I could play with Sister Mingjin from time to time. ”

Emperor Zhengde was made to laugh by her little daughter's coquettishness, and enjoyed his little daughter's coquettishness like an ordinary father. Hearing her daughter's words, she noticed the girl standing aside with a low face, and said in surprise: "You are Li Aiqing's daughter?" Keep your head up. ”

Ah Bao raised his face slightly, his eyelids drooped, and respectfully stepped forward to say goodbye.

Emperor Zhengde glanced at it, turned his head to the prince and smiled: "Ling Xi, I remember that a month ago, Li Jiyao told me about his daughter's marriage in the letter, but he was very sad. I thought he was worried about something, but now it seems that he is worried about the stinky boy who looks like a beautiful woman. ”

The prince smiled: "Miss Li is pure filial piety, and General Zhenbei only loves this daughter, so it is also appropriate to be reluctant." ”

"Father, my son heard that General Zhenbei is a wonderful person, and his ideas are different." King Xian said kindly: "Erchen also heard that General Zhenbei had sworn a heavy oath in front of the spirit of his deceased wife, which was quite a sensation at the time, so it can be seen that he is a person who values love and righteousness, why didn't my father solve the troubles for General Zhenbei?" ”

Several women present were all touched by these words, Ah Bao was a little worried, worried that the emperor would obey King Xian's tricks and mess up the mandarin duck spectrum, Qi Guifei didn't know what Lu Dao's son wanted to do, and the seventh princess was afraid that she didn't communicate with the second prince, and the emperor really did what the eldest princess of Changping wanted.

The prince's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked with a smile, "I don't know if the second brother has any good ideas?" ”

King Xian waved his hand and said modestly: "Don't make fun of your younger brother, don't make fun of your younger brother, how can your younger brother have any good ideas?" The father is wise and martial, and he must have a good idea, and the sons and daughters will just wait to say joy to General Zhenbei. ”

Emperor Zhengde held the teacup and listened to the two sons coming and going, without speaking. However, Qi Guifei saw that the seventh princess wanted to speak several times and stopped, for fear that her daughter couldn't bear to say something that shouldn't be said, so she hurriedly said: "Oh, you should care about the emperor, but don't discuss this kind of thing in front of other little girls, look, people can't raise their heads." ”

At this time, Ah Bao, who lowered her head and made a shy appearance, was speechless and choked in her heart, saying that in fact, you can treat her as if she did not exist.

Emperor Zhengde glanced at Ah Bao, whose head was about to hang down to his chest, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "This is indeed the reason, you big men are not allowed to bully other people's little girls' families." ”

Taking advantage of this topic, Qi Guifei hurriedly motioned to her daughter to take Ah Bao out of the room to play.

Although the seventh princess really wanted to stuff Ah Bao into the backyard of her second emperor brother to shine, she also knew that Lu Dao couldn't be in a hurry, so she left with Ah Bao.

After the two little girls left, Emperor Zhengde talked to Concubine Qi for a while, and then left with the prince.

Qi Guifei twisted her handkerchief, looked at her son who stayed, and asked, "Why did the emperor come?" "Could it be that she just took her two sons to her palace for a walk and ran away? Don't bring such a bully to the yellow-faced woman.

King Xian took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Erchen and the prince had just finished discussing this year's spring ploughing with their father, and Chen told his father that the daughter of General Zhenbei was summoned into the palace by his mother, and his father came over. ”

Qi Guifei's face froze, she bit her lip, and said hatefully: "What does the queen mean by this?" ”

If there was no authorization from the queen, would the dead eunuch Chen Shen suddenly tell the emperor about this? showed that he was not willing to let them win over Li Jiyao.

"Mother, does the seventh sister have any plans?" King Hyun asked affirmatively.

"What can the girl do? For the sake of Zhou Yudu, she lost her heart and went crazy, knowing that Lu Dao Changping had a crush on Li Mingjin, she actually wanted to marry Li Mingjin to the King of Jin, but later felt that it was inappropriate, and wanted to give Li Mingjin to you as a side concubine! Qi Guifei said angrily.

After hearing this, King Xian showed a regretful expression on his face, if he hadn't married the princess yet, he could marry Li Mingjin. However, he knew that according to Li Jiyao's temper, he would rather his daughter marry low than let his daughter be a concubine, even if it was the prince's side concubine.

Li Jiyao did strange things, Emperor Zhengde knew a few years ago, although he felt that this person's ideas were strange enough, but he was quite powerful, and his temper was very much in line with Emperor Zhengde's appetite, and he had jokingly told some of his deeds to several sons, so the prince Xianwang and others were all aware of Li Jiyao's criteria for choosing a son-in-law, which really made people laugh and cry.

Therefore, this is why Emperor Zhengde ignored the words of his two sons, and the emperor now reuses Li Jiyao, in order to better control Li Jiyao, he naturally wants to use the marriage of Li Jiyao's daughter in the most advantageous place.
