Chapter 64: Lobbying

In a blink of an eye, the day before the palace banquet, Wanxi was bored in the room looking at the snowflakes falling outside, Yunmo's news said that King Chenjun had not returned to Fengming Pass, so it meant that he was still in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and there was no other news at all, Wanxi's heart seemed to have been hanging, and she couldn't let go for a moment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info In the palace, because Chenjun pacified the war in the north and caused heavy losses to the Northern Wei Dynasty, the emperor was very comfortable and told the queen to arrange this year's palace banquet.

Mrs. Luo asked Lian'er to invite Wanxi to her place, and Wanxi said in her heart that she really couldn't hide from it, but she took Lian'er's hand with a smile on her face and went out.

After entering the old lady's room, she respectfully saluted the old lady and said, "Xi'er greets grandmother." ā€

The old lady smiled and said, "Xi'er, come and sit." ā€

Wanxi smiled at Lian'er and said, "Grandmother has been in excellent spirits recently, and Sister Lao Lian'er is serving Grandmother." Then he sat down opposite the old lady's soft couch.

The old lady said: "Just your sweet mouth, no wonder Lian'er said that the eldest lady in the house is transparent, come and drink some tea, I think this tea is very fragrant, so I asked Lian'er to call you." Wanxi thought to herself, this old lady originally came to deal with herself with both soft and hard, and now it seems that Luo Shuyao has been very angry and has begun to adopt a soft policy towards me.

So he took a sip of tea and said: "Grandmother's tea can be bad, it's grandmother's partiality, so that Xi'er can have such a good mouth." The old lady laughed and said, "Let's just say that your girl has a sweet mouth, this tea was brought to me by Yao'er in the morning, I heard that it was a good tea given to her by Prince Heng, or your grandmother and I would not have this good taste." Wanxi thought to herself, and sure enough, she got to the point in less than three sentences, and Wanxi took another sip of tea and said: "It's rare that Yao'er is so filial to her grandmother, and when she marries into the palace, grandmother will have greater blessings." ā€

The old lady was happy when she heard Wanxi say this, but her face showed a sad color, and she sighed and said: "This Yao'er is going out, you are her eldest sister, and you haven't decided on a family affair yet, how can this be good?" Wanxi also pretended to be coquettish and said: "Grandmother, granddaughter wants to accompany you for two more years." The old lady spoiled her face, and said: "That's unacceptable, when your mother was dying, she told your father to take good care of you, how can the girl not go out of the cabinet when she is older, alas, if your mother is still alive, with her friendship with the queen in the palace, how can she let the five princes come to the house to withdraw from the marriage, but according to the current situation of the five princes, he also regrets it." Wanxi lowered her head and said nothing, thinking that this old lady actually moved out the late Mrs. Lingyi in order to persuade herself to enter Prince Heng's mansion, if the queen is really close friends with Mrs. Lingyi, how could the five princes not even see themselves, and they came to withdraw from the marriage on their own big day, and became so surprised after seeing themselves, most of them were called by the queen that day, and Mrs. Lingyi probably thought that there would be such a fuss in the future, so she wrote vague words on the marriage contract.

Seeing that Wanxi hadn't spoken, the old lady thought that she had listened, and she was overjoyed, and hurriedly added: "The fifth prince has been inquiring about you since he came yesterday, and he also revealed the idea of taking you into the mansion as a side concubine, and besides, your sister came early this morning, and said that she was willing to marry into the Hengwang Mansion with your sister, and she will also take care of it in the future." Wanxi said that Luo Shuyao was acting in front of King Heng, and even came to say this to the old lady, either there was any deal with the old lady, or King Heng was really playing her own idea, she wanted to ask for credit in front of King Heng, if the former would not be easy to do, and she had to listen to what the old lady had to say, so she took another sip of tea, but still didn't speak.

The old lady was anxious, and couldn't figure out what this granddaughter thought, why did she say it for so long and she just didn't say anything, it seemed that she had to strike while the iron was hot, and persuade her thoroughly, so she said: "Xi'er, you are a smart child, grandmother might as well tell you directly, now the saint's health is getting worse and worse, your father said that the call of the court to urge the saint to establish a prince is getting higher and higher, and the five princes are the most popular, and the mother's family is powerful, and it can be regarded as the emperor's sister-in-law, coupled with the love of the five princes for you, even the queen also did it, and grandmother is all for your sake, after all, you are the daughter of our Luo family. Wanxi thought, for my sake, hehe, if Mrs. Lingyi is still there, lest she avoid such a family affair, she should be ordered to have a wishful husband when Wanxi is not waiting for her, not a rich and noble family, but it must be a scholarly family that knows how to learn, so that her daughter can live a carefree life.

Wanxi deliberately said coquettishly: "Grandmother, do you know, Xi'er is too straight, or Yao'er is more suitable." ā€

When it comes to Luo Shuyao, the old lady is angry, since the holy decree came down, she is getting more and more domineering day by day, and now she has begun to put on a shelf in front of me, and then there is the instigation of the Qi family, not to mention my grandmother, but today she is sensible, and she can say that she is willing to let Wanxi marry into the Heng Palace, it seems that the five princes are still devoted to Wanxi, thinking about it, she couldn't help it, and said: "Yao'er used to be a polite person, but after all, she is going to marry to the Heng Prince's Mansion as a side concubine, Now the posture in the mansion is higher than that of you, the eldest lady of the drop family, and the grandmother is also afraid that you will be angry with her in the future, no matter how can you be angry with the concubine in this Luo Mansion, if you sisters marry into Prince Heng's mansion together, although they are both side concubines, but the identity of your concubine is higher than her identity, even if you don't care about her, she doesn't dare to bully you, you can still suppress her. ā€

Wanxi said in her heart that the old lady had the patience to talk so many words to herself in the morning, and she also got the answer she wanted, and finally smiled, raised her head and said, "Grandmother knows the truth that you can't put your eggs in one basket?" The old lady didn't expect Wanxi to suddenly say such a sentence, she was stunned, Wanxi smiled and continued: "Once upon a time, there was a peasant woman who carried a basket full of eggs to the market to sell, and accidentally knocked over the basket on the way, and the eggs were broken, and the sad peasant woman cried, and a wise man passed by and comforted her and said, you shouldn't put all your eggs in this basket, if you put it in several baskets, your blue eggs will be broken, and there are several other baskets of eggs." After Wanxi finished the story, she looked at the old lady, but the old lady was still immersed in her own world, looked at Wanxi in confusion and said, "Grandmother told you to get down to business, what are you talking about peasant women's eggs?" ā€

Wanxi explained with a smile: "Grandmother, what if Shu Yao and I are eggs, and Prince Heng's Mansion is that basket?" ā€
