"On November 15, the 31st year of Qingjia, Princess Anping, the third daughter of the emperor, held a banquet in the palace. Princess Qiacheng begged for the king of Zi'an County to marry the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Weiyuan, Lu Binrou, and then readily agreed, and gave several marriage ......"

It's been a few days since November 15, and Lu Binrou still feels like a dream when she thinks about it. The night of the singing and dancing feast, the palace with fragrant clothes and shadows, the cold and white moonlight, and the people with their own thoughts......

And her Lu Binrou's marriage was decided in the words of the famous princess Cheng, the unruly Princess Yema.

Princess Cheng said: "The concubine looks at the Lu family's girl who is gentle and beautiful, and she wants to marry her son Duan Jing, and she hopes that the queen and Mrs. Lu will agree." ”

What was the expression on the queen's face at that time Lu Binrou was too far away to see it, and she didn't have the heart to look at it, she only remembered that at that moment, her mother's face, which had always been gentle and dignified, turned white.

And after leaving the banquet, she found that several nails like onion pipes that her mother had properly maintained were broken by clenching Qi Qi at that time, and her palms were covered with blood.

At that time, she didn't know it, but she saw that although her mother's face was pale, she was still smiling, and she got up, as if she wanted to say something to the queen.

Lu Binrou had a strange sense of detachment at that time, although she was talking about her, she felt as if she was outside the crowd at that time, looking at everyone with a sense of watching a play.

She saw that her mother was about to speak when she was interrupted by the queen, who sat on the high phoenix platform, and said slowly and with a smile in a gentle but detached tone: "The Lu family has a girl who has just grown up, and the eldest girl has outstanding character, and even Princess Cheng, who is famous and above the top, has come to ask for marriage, which really makes the mourning family envious." Speaking of which, the mourning family is also the elder of Miss Lu, so she is naturally happy to see her good husband Yucheng, so it is better to respond for her wife, how about it? ”

Lu Binrou saw that her mother's slender neck was straight, still dignified and demure, and said in her tone with a slight Jiangnan gentle accent: "The little girl is not talented, and she is loved by the princess and the queen, so she should not resign, but her husband has made a verbal agreement with Lord Chen of Jing'an, and after the little girl has a coming-of-age ceremony, he will betroddle her to the Chen family." The gentleman made a promise, and the concubine did not dare to hide the matter, and hoped that the queen would be considerate, and the concubine was very frightened. ”

The queen was surprised: "Is the eldest of the Hou family in Jing'an?" Why has no one replied to this matter, His Majesty had already prepared a will a few days ago to marry the tenth princess and Chen Xiaolian, the eldest man of the Chen family. The will has been sent to Changzhou as soon as possible, and there is no joke in you...... How can this be born? ”

Xie Shi only felt a mouthful of fishy sweetness surging to her throat, she used her best strength to suppress it, and said bitterly: "That was a joke between the husband and Lord Chen after drinking, and there are few people who know it, maybe Lord Chen himself doesn't remember it very well...... The concubine was just afraid that something would happen in the future, so she mentioned it, so she didn't have to worry about it......"

The queen's face only improved, but Xie Shi gritted her teeth and continued: "However, the little girl was divined by Master Fang Wai when she was young, and it is not advisable to get married too early, otherwise it will harm herself and even her family." The concubines did not dare to disobey, and wanted to wait for the little girl to be seventeen years old before discussing marriage, and hoped that the mother and the princess would be compassionate. ”

The light dimmed slightly, and the queen's face was not very clear, but Princess Cheng, who was sitting a little closer, said in her unique accent with a hearty sense of the grassland outside the Seychelles: "Don't get in the way, the master's words must still be believed." However, "

Her voice changed, "The dog is only sixteen years old, and he is not in a hurry to get married, so he can set the family matter now, and talk about the rest of the matter when Miss Lu is seventeen years old in three years." In this way, what does Mrs. Lu think? ”

Xie Wan stood there silently, with an innegligible coldness and resistance in his slender and slender figure.

The banquet was quiet and silent, everyone was looking at this woman, the famous lady who was said to be the champion of the south of the Yangtze River back then, had a childhood friendship with Weiyuan Hou, and after marriage, her husband sang with her wife, and she had both children and daughters.

Now, this woman who makes the entire capital women sour when she mentions it is just an ordinary mother, a mother who is worried about her daughter's marriage.

At this time, in the hearts of many noble ladies and boudoir girls in the seats, except for some schadenfreude, the rest were probably infinitely sympathetic to the mother and daughter of the Lu family, because the other party in this matter, Duan Jing, the king of Anjun, nicknamed Duan Fengyue, although he was the most favored by the emperor among the sons and nephews of the Duan royal family, he was not the ideal son-in-law in the hearts of the noblewomen in the capital.

In the midst of the depression, it was the queen's voice that broke the silence, and she slowly shook her head and said, "Aguan, how many years have passed, and you still have this temperament." You haven't seen Ah Jing's child, and Princess Cheng is not good at boasting about her son, how can the mourning family be your cousin, so I'll tell you.

Although the child is indeed a little stubborn, he is pure in nature and loyal to those close to him, and he will definitely not treat Rourou badly when he gets married in the future. You mother, don't worry. ”

At this time, except for Princess Cheng and Xie Guan, everyone was shocked, including Lu Binrou. She had never seen the queen before, but she felt that this should not be said by the queen mother in the mouth of her mother and grandmother, and the rest of the people were more shocked than her.

This, this, is this what a queen who is usually noble and always a little indifferent will say? This empress is said to have never spoken softly to the emperor......

Everyone's minds are flying, the queen and the wife of the Marquis of Weiyuan, the Xie family, and the old lady of the Lu family, the Wang family, are all from the Jiangnan family, I heard that the family over there is originally married to each other, and they are all related to each other, aren't the old lady Lu and the queen cousins.

But it turns out that the queen has such a good relationship with Mrs. Weiyuanhou? Since the words are so close, why bother to give the girl of the Lu family to the king of Anjun. Looking at the girl's gentle and dignified appearance, she will not be tortured and crazy by that demon king in the future......

Xie Wan stood there, listening to the queen's words, tears almost bursting out of his eyes. Yes, the queen's mother, Zheng, she has to call her cousin aunt in terms of seniority.

And although it is not a particularly close relative, when Empress Zheng was still in the boudoir, Xie Guan's grandmother liked her very much and loved her very much. When Xie Wan was young, once the queen returned to Jiangnan Province and took Xie Wan to live in the Zheng family temporarily.

At that time, Xie Wan was too young, and he couldn't remember the specific situation clearly, but he only vaguely remembered that this queen's aunt was a cold person, but she was very gentle to her.

The queen turned her head to Princess Cheng and smiled: "Brother and sister, in fact, the mourning family originally wanted to ask Yu'er to marry the Lu family girl, but Xiao Sixteen has told the mourning family many times that he wants to marry a gentle and generous girl." The mourning family is a matter of hesitation, after all, it is related to the family, I am afraid that the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion will not agree to this, but I didn't expect that this was not opened yet, but it was preempted by your family Jing'er. This is really a family with a hundred women! ”

Princess Cheng smiled: "It's too late for the imperial sister-in-law to speak again, now I don't want to fight with my younger siblings, the girl of the Lu family is my fancy at a glance, Yu'er is still honestly a cousin." ”

Xie Wan listened to the conversation between the two of them, her hands clenched tighter and tighter, and she could feel the eyes of everyone in the audience turning to her, mixed with sympathy, jealousy, and surprise.

She was extremely glad that her mother-in-law didn't let Rourou go to various banquets. Otherwise, these ladies and girls must have decided that Rourou had an affair with those royal prides, otherwise how could they provoke the queen and Princess Cheng to want to marry their sons.

You must know that Princess Cheng turned out to be famous for picking daughters-in-law with eyes above the top, and the sixteenth prince himself specified what he wanted to be gentle and generous......

Hmph, those two little men are not people with rules.

The broken nails had pierced into the flesh, and the blood had soaked out, but Xie Wan didn't realize it.

She quickly thought to herself, and in this case, shirk was ineffective and unwise. The queen even moved out of the sixteen princes, and in this case refused, not to mention that this was an act of pulling the queen's face, it was rourou, and I don't know what it would be discussed in the end.

That's it, let's do it first, it's still a few years away from getting married, and I'm slowly looking for a way during this time.

As for this Anjun King...... Although the child's reputation is very bad, so bad that she has heard of it far away, Xie Wan knows that people can't just listen to reputation, especially people who are in a high-ranking family, reputation is this, and there are too many additional things.

There is no lack of sincerity in the queen's words, and in the next few days, I also went to inquire about the child, if the character is really as unbearable as the legend, then Rourou can't be allowed to marry anyway.

Lu Binrou was sitting on the seat next to her mother, and kept her head down to listen to the movements on the seat. She really didn't know what she should do, it was about her daughter's marriage, shouldn't she avoid her to discuss it, what did she mean by not asking her about her wishes at all?

In front of so many people, the queen and Princess Cheng chatted like this, look, for a long time after that, she Lu Binrou will inevitably become the talking point of the capital......

Lu Binrou was very depressed, which was really not a good feeling.
