"The emperor has been talking in the imperial study for more than an hour, why hasn't it come to fruition. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "Princess Pingnan, that is, Zhao Xu's mother, was a little anxious in the queen mother's palace.

The Queen Mother took the porcelain bowl handed by Mama Zhang, took a few pills and ate them. said calmly: "Why worry, there will always be results in the end." ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother was so calm, Princess Pingnan said respectfully: "What Niangniang said is true. But I'm afraid that the final coach candidate is not Xu'er, so that the great credit that the prince has won with great difficulty will have to fall to another family, and the emperor of the five princes has already remembered our palace, if the merit is not atoned, the situation of the palace will be more difficult. ”

"Wealth and glory are like passing clouds, what should be ours in the end, will be ours after all." The Queen Mother helped the hairpin on her head, and her expression was flat. Princess Pingnan looked along and saw that the queen mother was holding a white jade phoenix hairpin on her head, which was exquisitely workmanlike, but it seemed to be different from the style of today's carving, like an old thing.

Princess Pingnan sighed, secretly looked at the Queen Mother, and said: "Actually, Xu'er is the most suitable candidate for the coach this time, both in terms of identity and background, and the only thing he lacks is that he is not yet married, and he has not left a queen for the Zhao family." ”

The Queen Mother heard what was in this, and said: "Xu'er is about the same age, but now that Pianjiao is still a draft girl, and it is not easy to get married." ”

Princess Pingnan immediately argued: "There are still women who are ten or twenty times better than Luo Pian's appearance and family background...... As soon as this Luo Pianjiao entered the palace, he must not have been able to get out for four or five years, so should he let Xu'er drag it like this. And her family background, it is enough to be a side concubine. ”

As soon as the Queen Mother heard this, her expression immediately turned cold and said, "Then what do you mean?" ”

Princess Pingnan saw that there was a drama here, and said busily: "I see that the daughters of several families in the capital are good, let Xu'er marry a wife first, after all, who knows what will happen on the battlefield, let Xu'er become a family first, otherwise...... How can I be worthy of the ancestors of the Zhao family......"

The more the princess spoke, the more excited she became, and she couldn't stop holding a handkerchief and pressing the corners of her eyes.

The Queen Mother's face was even more displeased, and she said sharply: "In the end, you still don't want Luo Pianjiao to be Xu'er's wife." ”

"Yes." Princess Pingnan didn't hide it, and said: "Luo Pianji's identity, you also know it, Niangniang, that kind of identity is a scourge." And even if she is given an identity again, it can ...... Niangniang, to tell you the truth, the eldest daughter of the Luo family was born in the outer room, which is indeed inconsistent with Xu'er's identity as the wife. Niangniang, I have never understood why you have to let Xu'er marry her! ”

The Queen Mother said angrily: "The mourning family doesn't know why you hate Luo Pianjiao so much. ”

Seeing this situation, Princess Pingnan couldn't help crying and said, "Niangniang, is what the concubine and concubine say wrong...... Why do you have to force my Xu'er to marry such a woman with an unclear background, Xu'er is the son of the world, the future prince of Pingnan! The concubine didn't understand...... Why do you, the prince, and Mr. Jiang protect the daughter of a criminal minister like this......"

"Shut up! You know what you're talking about! The mourning family doesn't care about the past, but things can't be changed, you'd better forget about it, if you talk nonsense here again, the mourning family will be the first to let you go! ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother was so angry, Princess Pingnan could only give in and say: "The concubine knows that she is wrong." But...... The concubine just wants to say something from her heart, the queen mother should not be disgusted with the concubine's mouth, you, the prince, Mr. Jiang, you think that with your help, Luo Pianqi can have a smooth life, but if you value Luo Pianqi too highly, putting her too high will also lead to burning. If you burn her, you will also destroy the entire palace. ”

Princess Pingnan calmed down, although her beautiful eyes were full of anger, but what she said deeply pierced the heart of the Queen Mother.

People who have come out of the harem understand better that sometimes they are not qualified but insist on having things that do not belong, and they are often hated by others, and in the end they will never recover. Although Pianqi is the eldest daughter and brought up by Mrs. Luo, Luo Xiong's official position is not obvious, so that Pianqi becomes Zhao Xu's concubine, after all, it is a little out of reach......

Pianqi and Zhao Xu grew up together, and the relationship between the two is like this, because of some origins, several elders pay special attention to Pianjiao, even if Pianjiao's identity is not qualified, but as long as the Queen Mother raises some identity to marry in the past, it is not impossible to marry her, and Pianqi's talent and ability are not lost to Zhao Xu at all, and can even make up for Zhao Xu's many shortcomings, so the elders do not interfere too much in their affairs.

The princess saw that the queen looked a little bad, and continued: "To be honest, I feel very sorry for Pianjiao's life experience, and I don't dislike her, but ...... Whether it's for Xu'er's future or for the peace of Pingnan's palace...... I hope Luo Pianjiao doesn't get too eye-catching. ”

"Enough!" The Queen Mother interrupted the princess's words in an impatient tone, and said: "Although Xu'er is old, it is not a big deal for a man to get married later, so let's put it aside for now." ”

is protecting Luo Pianjiao again, Xu'er is an only son, and she should have started a family at such an age. Princess Pingnan twisted her handkerchief hatefully.

Finally, it is the will of the Holy One to reconvene tomorrow morning. Princess Pingnan could only leave in a huff.

Seeing that Princess Pingnan left, the Queen Mother looked gloomy, stared at the porcelain vase in front of her, and sighed: "Yuguo, what you said about Princess Pingnan is reasonable......"

Since the serious illness, the queen mother's temperament has become more and more indecisive, and the problems of her children and grandchildren have become more and more unbearable.

Hearing this, Mama Zhang had no choice but to be relieved: "Queen Mother, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren." Back then, no one thought that those two children would have their own feelings, childhood sweethearts, and the orders of their parents, isn't this what you and Mr. Jiang hoped for...... Let that girl go through this experience smoothly, don't taste the sorrow of the elders again. ”

Mama Zhang's unexpectedness couldn't help touching the Queen Mother's mind, and the Queen Mother couldn't help sighing: "I hope so...... But who would have guessed that this girl is more thoughtful than her mother, and I am afraid that she has been thinking about avenging the Yang family until now. ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother was so bothered, Mama Zhang hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother should not be so bothered. But take care of yourself and let that girl go on her own. When Miss Biao's love was in place, you saved Miss Yang Er, and saved Luo Pianjiao gave her such a good future, I'm afraid you will pay it off. ”

"I can......'t pay it back," the Queen Mother glanced at Mama Zhang, and stopped talking. The entanglement of three generations and countless human lives, how can it be so easy to calculate.

In the evening, Emperor Wen came to greet the Queen Mother as usual, during which Emperor Wen took the initiative to ask the Queen Mother what she thought of changing the manager.

"The emperor already has his own idea, so why should he come to ask the mourning family?" The Queen Mother began to carefully observe Emperor Wen's expression as soon as she entered the door, and she basically reached a conclusion in her heart.

Emperor Wen said calmly: "But Zhao Xu is young after all, and he is the only son of the lineage, so I am afraid that the Zhao family will be extinct." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "My Zhao family does not have a son who is greedy for life and afraid of death. If you say that she is young, Yao'er will fight in Mobei at the age of fifteen, and Xu'er is old enough. ”

Emperor Wen's face was calm, but he already had his own idea in his heart. The Zhao family has sacrificed a lot for the country, and they can't let the only heir of the family fold on the battlefield. But since the Queen Mother is so resolute, at least let Zhao Xu get married and go again......

……

Shen Shi, Pleasant Inn.

A seemingly simple but very finely crafted carriage stopped in the backyard of the inn, and a plain-clothed woman with a hat on her head, carrying two maids who also wore hats, entered a hidden private room under the guidance of the innkeeper's lady.

The proprietress has also seen the world, and said generously: "What do you want?" ”

"A pot of sake and a few plates of seasonal melons and fruits." The maid beside the lady stepped forward to greet the proprietress and said, looking like her master was unwilling to talk directly to the proprietress in that way.

The proprietress was not annoyed, but said: "Our store has the best lychee wine that has just come in from the Lingnan area, can you come to some of it?" ”

"Yes, let's have a pot." The servant girl turned her head to look at her master, and then said.

"Okay, please wait." The proprietress said: "I don't know who the noble person is waiting for, what are the characteristics of the time, the small convenience will be brought to you, this private room is really difficult to find." ”

Peculiarity? The woman with the hat sneered and mocked: "I'm afraid it's a seventeen or eighteen-year-old daughter's family pretending to be a young man." ”

"Little one understands." The proprietress then walked out of the door of the private room. The two maids with hats first took off their hats, and then respectfully waited for the woman to take off their hats.

The woman was no longer confused, but she still looked like a girl in her twenties, with a face like hibiscus and willows like eyebrows, and two dimples faintly at the corners of her mouth. It is four or five points similar to Zhao Xu. Yes, she is Princess Pingnan of Anguo, that is, Zhao Xu's mother.

Shortly after the princess took off her hat, there was a knock at the door.

A servant girl walked over, gently opened the door, and a petite figure squeezed in, before the servant girl could react, the figure came to the front of Princess Pingnan, Princess Pingnan was so frightened that she retreated back, the man hurriedly took off his cloak, knelt on the ground and saluted, and said crisply: "Slave Kanglan, I have seen the princess." ”

"Who are you, who are you! How dare you trespass into the private room, what should I do if I am shocked! The maidservant, who had just gone to open the door, quickly ran to the princess's side and asked angrily.

Ah Lan raised his head, took out a letter from his arms without hurry, held it in both hands and handed it to the princess, and said, "Princess, don't blame, it happened suddenly, and Ah Lan had to offend." The slave maid Kang Lan is the lady-in-waiting of the eldest lady of the Luo family, and this time she dared to offend to send a letter to the princess? ”

"Oh?" Princess Pingnan seemed a little surprised, and said, "Luo Pianqi knows that it is not Xu Er who is looking for her today, but Concubine Ben?" ”

Ah Lan nodded and said, "Miss knows that it is the princess, and I really want to come over to meet her, but today the old lady's illness is suddenly not good, and Miss has been monitored by the lady all the time, and it is not good to make any big moves, so I have to let the little one come to pass the message." As he spoke, he handed the letter further forward. A maid took it from Ah Lan and presented it to the princess.

The princess took the letter with some displeasure, and asked casually: "How do you know that this concubine will come to this private room, according to what you have just seen, you have been waiting here for a long time." ”

Ah Lan said indifferently: "It was the young lady who asked me to keep an eye on the boss lady, and the young lady said that if the princess wants to come here with such an identity, only the boss lady must be worthy of serving." ”
