Chapter Twenty-Five: This Gang Is Not the Other Gang

When Old Lady Luo heard Wanxi say that there was a way to send Luo Shuyao to Prince Heng's mansion, her face changed: "Oh? What does Xi'er mean by this? Wanxi said: "Grandmother thinks, the matter of Yao'er sleeping in front of Prince Heng's mansion before, the trouble in the capital is already well known, I'm afraid it will not be easy for Shu Yao to marry into a good family again, but everything has a reason, why is Shu Yao no longer elsewhere?" Therefore, although the queen mother pointed out Miss Chen from the Wenyu Marquis Mansion to Prince Heng, she did not mention Shu Yao's matter, so Shu Yao still has the opportunity to marry into Prince Heng's Mansion, and she can only marry into Prince Heng's Mansion.

Old Madam Luo listened to Wanxi's eloquent explanation, and this was indeed the case, so she said: "What Xi'er said makes sense, but this matter is not so simple to operate. ”

Wanxi said: "Grandmother, do you know that when Xi'er sent Zipei to Wangyulou to buy pastries for her grandmother today, where did Ping'er, the girl who met Shu Yao, go?" Seeing that Old Madam Luo looked at Wanxi, and when she continued, Wanxi smiled and said, "I went to Qi Mansion, I heard that I invited Qi Zhen'er to come to the mansion." ”

Mrs. Luo shook her head and said: "Xi'er, you don't know, grandmother heard that after the emperor gave marriage, Zhen'er's child, went to ask the queen, although the queen doted on her very much, but she also reprimanded her for this matter." ”

Wanxi smiled and said: "Grandmother, that Qi Zhen'er doesn't matter what is important, if she wants the fifth prince to marry Shu Yao as the concubine, of course the queen will be angry, not to mention whether there is Shu Yao on the day, just by virtue of the power of the Wenyu Marquis Mansion and our Luo Mansion in the court, the queen will also choose Miss Chen as the concubine of the five princes." And if she only asks Shu Yao to enter Prince Heng's mansion, with the queen's favor for her, even if she doesn't agree, she won't obstruct it. ”

Old Madam Luo nodded and motioned for Wanxi to continue.

"Grandmother, do you know that my father is going to the Northern Wei Dynasty?"

"Your father told me, didn't he set off the day after tomorrow?"

"So just at this time, let my father go and beg the emperor, so to speak......" Old Madam Luo listened to the gentle words, her brows gradually relaxed, and she instructed Lian'er: "Go to the front yard to spread my news, and let your master come to me as soon as he returns home." ”

Wanxi saw that what she said was almost done, and the old lady was thinking about Luo Shuyao again, so she got up to say goodbye to her grandmother and went back to her yard.

Zipei pouted awkwardly all the way, and Wanxi felt funny when she looked at her, so she said, "Good Zipei, what's wrong with you?" Zipei saw that Miss finally asked herself, and then said angrily: "Miss, why do you want to help Miss when you know that the second miss is uneasy and kind?" ”

Wanxi sighed and said: "Zipei, although I have not been close to her all these years, but she still did not hurt me substantially after all, I pity her for being just this child, young and ignorant, and pity that she has worked so hard to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting all these years, and has not felt the joy of being unscrupulous, you have also seen that my grandmother's father, even her mother, regards her as a tool for Luofu Gurong and Gupet, and even she herself treats herself like this, so I want to help her, but not so much now, unfortunately, She is obsessed and does not regret it, just looking at Miss Chen's scheming and ability, Shu Yao's hard life is behind. ”

As soon as Mr. Luo returned to the house, he heard that his mother was looking for him, so he hurried to the old lady's yard, Mrs. Luo said the words to her son, Mr. Luo hesitated and said Can this work, Mrs. Luo glared, Mr. Luo was helpless, so he had to go back to the palace gate and ask to see the saint.

At this time, the emperor was playing chess with Luo Lin, the eldest son of the Luo family, in the imperial study, this Luo Dagong has been deeply gracious since he entered the palace to take charge of chess, and it is strange to say, he has never been like other courtiers, let the emperor, win more times, and play temper, no longer play against the emperor, but make the emperor laugh, to take the rare chess game to coax him, of course, the emperor has also made great progress in the game, and also saw that this Luo Lin is a genius, clear thinking, ingenious layout, and step by step, the chess game is like a battle game, If this kid is enlightened, he will be a rare military talent, so he is very connived.

Master Luo was announced to the imperial study, and when he saw that the emperor was playing against his son, he was very proud, and was just about to kneel down to give a salute, when the emperor said: "Luo Aiqing, come over and take a look, is there any possibility of catching up with me?" Lord Luo saw that the emperor was happy today, so he walked over with courage, and before he could speak, he heard his son say unknowingly: "No." ”

Master Luo was frightened into a cold sweat, and just wanted to open his mouth to reprimand his son, but the emperor laughed and said, "This child, Luo Aiqing taught him well." In my heart, I remembered Mrs. Luo Zizhong, when I played against her at her teacher's house, she was the same at a young age, she never refused to give in, even if I wanted to catch up, she didn't give a chance, I hadn't met such a person for a long time, so my gaze at Luo Lin was even softer.

When this game was over, it was not surprising that it ended in a crushing defeat for the emperor. The emperor asked Lord Luo: "What is Aiqing here for?" Seeing that the emperor was happy, Lord Luo knelt down and said, "The minister has come to ask for one thing." "Actually, this Lord Luo, although he has been a little bit of a drill camp in the officialdom in recent years, but he is a literati in his bones, which is why Chu Lingyi chose him back then.

The emperor saw that he was a little embarrassed, and ordered Luo Lin to go down first, and said to Lord Luo: "Luo Aiqing, please, if you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Lord Luo sighed, on the one hand, he mustered up the courage to say this, and on the other hand, it was also the need of the situation at this time, so he sighed very sincerely, and then said: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, the minister is here for the little girl, can Your Majesty remember the incident of the second daughter of the minister a few days ago?" After hearing this, the emperor remembered that Miss Luo Er woke up in front of the Hengwang Mansion, so he probably knew why this Lord Luo came, so he motioned him to continue, and Lord Luo said: "After returning to the house that day, the minister reprimanded the little girl, and ordered her to think about it behind closed doors, but the little girl insisted that this matter was framed, she didn't know it, she was seriously ill, she didn't eat or drink, and she was bent on death, and the minister was about to leave Beijing. I can't bear to torture herself like this anymore. So come and beg Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty to point the little girl to King Heng, even if she is a slave, it can be regarded as a father who has done his best for her. ”

Lord Luo said very sincerely, and a few tears fell from the emotional place, and the emperor was also very moved, thought for a while and said: "Luo Aiqing, you have been diligent and diligent by my side all these years, I have seen it in my eyes, and my children have also been cultivated very well, I heard that this second girl is still a talented girl with the same name as the girl of Prime Minister Shen Cheng's family, but unfortunately the queen has already set a concubine for Heng'er, so let's grieve the second girl to make Heng'er a side concubine, but ......", the emperor groaned, Lord Luo was already very happy at this time, I thought that it would be good for the emperor to promise to let Shu Yao be a concubine, but I didn't expect the emperor to directly point out the side concubine, and the emperor continued: "But that incident is known all over the city, and the Marquis of Wenyu is in a hurry to leave Beijing, so Heng'er is going to marry the concubine a year ago, these two girls can only be more wronged, and then let Heng'er take over the door after the New Year, but this ceremony is ......", the emperor didn't go on, and Lord Luo also knew that Luo Shuyao's background had not yet reached the qualifications to hold a ceremony for the royal family, so he said: "The saint cares about the old minister so much, The minister was already grateful, and knelt down to kowtow to the emperor three times in a row, and the emperor made a holy decree, and after the eunuch read it out in person, Lord Luo happily received the decree and went home.

When the queen heard the report, she only snorted coldly and did not say anything else.
