Chapter 91: The Cui Family's Plan (II) (Recommended Vote 1500 Plus Update)
The Cui family, who was sent to the palace to run for election this time, is one year older than Lin Yan, sixteen this year, and the emperor clearly said that it would take two years to choose the crown princess for the crown prince. Two years later, the prince is only sixteen years old, but the Cui family is already eighteen, the prince can wait, but the Cui family can't wait, so the Cui family will not want this Cui family to enter the palace.
But Lin Yan remembered that the Cui family also had a younger sister of a compatriot, who was just twelve years old this year, and after two years, she was exactly the same age as the prince.
And sure enough, after the review, Concubine Cui Xian found Lin Yan and said that she wanted to ask Lin Yan to be a matchmaker and ask for a family affair for her unsuccessful niece.
Lin Yan was a little curious about who the Cui family fancied, and asked Concubine Cui Xian with a smile: "Oh, who is Concubine Xian's fancy to?" This palace will probe for you. ”
Concubine Cui Xian also smiled lightly, and then said, "King of Yanping County." ”
"The King of Yanping?"
The king of Yanping County is the son of Concubine Lian, because of the last incident, the matter of Ci'an Palace Lin Yan was handed over to Concubine Lian, and then Concubine Lian and Lin Concubine got along well, and often came to sit in Lin Tai's Palace.
Even the concubine is very interesting, witty words, and makes people feel that she speaks quite refreshingly, and often unconsciously picks you up, plus she will observe words and looks, and often say some things that happened outside from the king of Yanping County, so Lin Yan also loves to talk to her.
Concubine Cui Xian asked Lin Yan to talk to Concubine Lian, but she was indeed the best candidate. One is that Lin Yan is good friends with Concubine Lian, and the other is the identity of Queen Lin Yan, Concubine Lian always has to give some face.
However, the king of Yanping County is not a few years younger than the emperor, but he has married a princess. It's just that the princess died of illness a few years ago, leaving behind a pair of children.
If the Cui family wants to marry the king of Yanping County, the Cui family can only marry in the past, or have a stepfamily with a son and daughter in front of them. In terms of Cui's identity, this is somewhat aggrieved by Cui's.
But Lin Yan thought about the entire clan and the Xungui family, and found that the Cui family really didn't have many choices. The sons and daughters of the illustrious nobles and families are all sought-after goods, and those who match the age of the Cui family have either married a wife or have already married, and the rest of the side branches or concubines are not considered by the Cui family.
If it is a down-and-out noble family, the Cui family is not willing. What's more, the Cui family was cultivated by the mother of the emperor in the future, and she was afraid that her heart and vision would have been raised a long time ago, and she was afraid that she would not be able to look down on such a down-and-out noble family. If you can't do it in the noble family, then think about it in the clan.
There are still princes and county kings who have not married, but they are not allowed to be reused by the emperor, marrying in is just a good reputation, and the only one who can be reused by the emperor is only the king of Yanping County, who was born to Concubine Lian. Although he is only the king of the county, he has real power in his hands.
Since the Cui family is not afraid that the wronged girl takes the initiative to marry, Lin Yan is happy to see it.
Lin Yan talked to Concubine Lian, Concubine Lian was very happy at first, her mother's family is general, and the daughter of the Cui family is willing to marry, which is like a pie in the world. It is reasonable to say that the king of Yanping County married the first wife, but now it is only the stepfamily.
But Concubine Lian thought a little more, called her son in to discuss it, and finally rejected the family affair on the grounds that the king of Yanping County had already married her niece.
The family background of the concubine of the king of Yanping County is not as good as the Cui family, if the concubine did not give birth to a son-in-law, it is easy to say, but the wife of the yuan left a son-in-law. The identity of the step-concubine is more expensive than that of the concubine, and the Cui family is considered to be married, who knows if she will want the title. Even if Cui's family doesn't want to be knighted, when she really marries in, and when she also gives birth to a son-in-law, her identity as a grandson will be embarrassing.
Although it's a pity, but thinking about the peace in the future, even the concubine thinks about it, the pie is too big, and if you are not careful, you will be dizzy. What's more, she only hopes that her son will be prosperous and prosperous all his life, and she doesn't ask him to do much, and the Cui family's family business is just the icing on the cake, and it is not necessary.
Lin Yan understood Concubine Lian's worries, so she didn't persuade again, and informed Concubine Cui Xian with the reason Concubine Lian gave her.
Concubine Cui Xian felt a little regretful after hearing this, but since their Cui family wronged the girl to be the successor of the king of Yanping County, they must have ideas about the future title. According to the letter from the emperor of Yanping County, it is only a matter of time before he becomes a prince in the future.
According to the Cui family's idea, the prince's title will inevitably be left to the son of the Cui family in the future, and as for the eldest son born by Concubine Yuan, they can dredge up and ask him for the title of county king. In this way, Cui's son can inherit the title, the eldest son also has a future, and the two sons of the king of Yanping can inherit the title, which can be regarded as a happy situation.
But since Concubine Lian and the King of Yanping County did not intend to pay each other with their titles at all, there was no need for their Cui family to marry him.
Although the king of Yanping refused the marriage of the Cui family, King Heng was very interested in the Cui family, and entered the palace to tell his mother, Concubine Duan Gui, his thoughts.
When Concubine Duan Gui heard this, she felt that this family business was okay. The king of Yanping County is a county king, and the Cui family is willing to marry him as a stepfamily, but his son is a prince, wouldn't it be more willing to let the Cui family marry his son as a stepfamily.
Concubine Cao Gui excitedly approached Concubine Cui Xian to talk about family affairs, and promised that in the future, Cui's son would definitely be established as the son, but Concubine Cui Xian remembered the pile of Yingying Yanyan in the backyard of King Heng's Mansion and Princess Xianheng who was angry to death by the concubine's room, and the seventy, eighty or ninety concubines in King Heng's Mansion, and said coldly: "My eldest niece and King Heng are not suitable, King Heng is older than my eldest niece and her father." ”
The king of Yanping County is not a few years younger than Cui's father, so he can say this, it is obvious that he did not fancy her son.
Concubine Cao Gui was angry, and then talked about Cui's badness everywhere in the harem.
Then Concubine Wu of Qinghe Wangfu heard that the Cui family was looking for a husband for the girl everywhere, and when she thought of her son, she was overjoyed and slapped her face, isn't her own son just right for the Cui family.
Concubine Wu's son Xiao Ergongzi is twenty-two this year, in view of Wu's long-term vision has always been too high, she feels worthy of her son but is unwilling to marry in the capital, and she feels that there is no one worthy of her excellent son, so even his younger brother Xiao Chi, the third son, has been married to Lin Cheng for five or six years, and finally hugged his son this year, but Xiao Ergongzi is still a single commander.
Concubine Wu felt that her son and Cui's daughter were a match made in heaven, so she asked King Qinghe to tell her thoughts, but was scolded by King Qinghe. Concubine Wu was unwilling, and went into the palace to find her sister Wu Guifei and wanted her to help talk about this family matter, but she was scolded by Wu Guifei again.
However, this incident reminded Wu Guifei that what the Wu family lacks is military power, and the Cui family has military power, if it can win over the Cui family, it will be a help. Anyway, the third prince can't be the prince like this, so he doesn't have to guard against it. Doesn't he have a brother-in-law of a compatriot, and his identity is just right with Cui's daughter.
But since the Cui family had ideas about the crown princess, they didn't plan to be embarrassed with the Wu family anymore and refused this family business.
The eldest daughter of the Cui family had a long and short quarrel for a month or two, and finally decided that the second son of the Li family of Zhao County was the son-in-law, that is, the maiden family of Lin Yan's grandmother Li, but the Li family was born in the second room of the Li family in Zhao County.
But these are all later stories, and now what Lin Yan is facing is her aunt, Princess Lin Eun of Qinghe, who is complaining to her about Concubine Wu's IQ.
