Chapter 208: The Dust Settles

"It's just ......" Mama Li looked at the Queen Mother, a little hesitant, but she still said the words in her heart: "Princess Mingyue, she ......"

It is no secret that Ji Mingyue admires Mo Ziyuan. Ji Mingyue made this matter full of turmoil in the city, in fact, it was also to ruin her reputation, and after she couldn't get married, she relied on the queen mother's distress to marry Mo Ziyuan as she wished.

The emperor's delay in giving marriage to Ji Mingyue and Xu Zigui is actually because the queen mother has been stalking from it and does not let the emperor give marriage.

In the past few days, the Queen Mother has relied more and more on Ji Mingyue, as long as she thinks of marrying Ji Mingyue to Yingli to make peace, the Queen Mother is more and more reluctant. The emperor is also afraid that he will marry Ji Mingyue to Yingli all of a sudden, which will make the queen mother unhappy, and if she is sick, she will not be able to find a woman of the right age in the royal family for a while, and this son is worried about finding a daughter-in-law for Feng Jiuqing, so he has not made an order for a long time.

Mama Li didn't finish her words, but just mentioned Ji Mingyue, and the Queen Mother knew what Mama Li wanted to say.

From the past few days, Mo Leyuan intentionally or unintentionally picked Ji Mingyue's desire to please the Queen Mother in front of the Queen Mother, although the Queen Mother was relieved, there was also some estrangement in her heart. This time, Ji Mingyue framed Xu Zigui in front of her again, and after knowing that Xu Zigui was different, she blocked the news on her side.

You must know that Xu Zigui is a favored county lord, and it stands to reason that someone should report such a major event as hitting a tree and being injured. Ji Mingyue has been by her side, but she can know that Xu Zigui was injured, and she must have gotten the news from the person who came to inform her, so she intercepted the news and prevented herself from knowing it.

Ji Mingyue was able to intercept the news from the Queen Mother, which means that Ji Mingyue has won the hearts of most of the people in her Cining Palace. If Ji Mingyue can make most of the people around the Queen Mother obey her life, then if Ji Mingyue wants to harm the Queen Mother, wouldn't it be easy?

Therefore, after this incident, the Queen Mother really didn't like Ji Mingyue a little. Just thinking about the past few days, Ji Mingyue has been by her side to please her. The eldest princess of Linhai is only such a concubine as Ji Mingyue. The eldest princess of Linhai is because she is married far away, and the queen mother knows that the pain of her daughter not being around, and she really can't bear to let her daughter experience this kind of mother-daughter separation. So when Mama Li mentioned Ji Mingyue at this time, the Queen Mother became a little hesitant to reads.

Seeing that the Queen Mother kept her head down and didn't speak, Mama Li knew that the Queen Mother was impulsive just now.

It's just that the order has been arranged, and the emperor is estimated to be on the way, and he can't let people go back, right?

Mama Li had no choice but to comfort the Queen Mother: "The slave maid has been by the side of the mother for so long. Almost all the royal princesses were sent away. Even if she was as favored as the eldest princess of Linhai, she did not escape the fate of marrying away for the sake of royal stability. What's more, it's Princess Mingyue? ”

When Imagami was not named the crown prince, the eldest princess of Linhai was originally a childhood sweetheart with the companion of Imagami. It was only in order to allow Jin Shangshun to ascend the throne that the eldest princess of Linhai had to marry the king of Wei, who held real power in her hands. This time, for the sake of peace between the two countries, she even asked her daughter to marry far away to Yingli, and the royal family is really sorry for the family of the eldest princess of Linhai.

The Queen Mother and the Emperor knew that they were sorry for the eldest princess of Linhai a lot, so since Ji Mingyue entered Beijing, they have been quite fond of Ji Mingyue. Even the queen and the eldest princess of Linhai are at odds. The family of the eldest princess of Linhai was rude to the queen intentionally or unintentionally, and the queen mother and the emperor also turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it. There was even a mention of the queen mother. Let the queen mother not worry about them, and let them do more in everything.

Although the queen was aggrieved, she also knew that the emperor was only the queen mother, who was paying off her debts, so she endured all the hardships. Swallow any grievances into your stomach

The Queen Mother sighed: "At that time, Linhai was clamoring to marry Feng Ting, but in the end, he had no choice but to marry King Wei. This time, Zi Mingyue was full of Yuan'er, but she was forced to marry Yingli. Mourning the family's heart is bitter."

Feng Ting is now the general of Jin Bei, holding half of the talismans in his hand. is the person the emperor relies on the most.

As he spoke, he clenched his hands into fists and pounded his heart, almost falling into tears.

At this moment, the little eunuch guarding outside also sang loudly: "The emperor has arrived". The Queen Mother hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and waited for the emperor to come in.

Mama Li was busy giving tea to the emperor first, and when the emperor came in, she could drink a sip of hot tea immediately.

"But it's a coincidence," the emperor first greeted the queen mother, and then sat aside with a smile and said: "The son was about to come over to discuss the marriage between Yuan'er and Yunjin with the queen mother, and the queen mother sent someone to find her son...... What does the queen mother have to tell her son when she is looking for her son? ”

The Queen Mother nodded, and said with a smile: "It's also a coincidence, the mourning family also wants to tell you about the marriage of Gui'er and Yuan'er."

After speaking, he paused, and after looking at the emperor's expression almost invisibly, he said again: "There is also the matter of Mingyue and His Royal Highness Fengjiu......

Hearing the Queen Mother mention the matter of Ji Mingyue and Feng Jiuqing, the emperor thought that the Queen Mother wanted to prevent Ji Mingyue from marrying far away, so he frowned and said: "The son knows that the queen mother is reluctant to give up Mingyue's child. Mingyue can be regarded as I grew up, and I was not picked up until I was seven years old, and said that the queen mother was reluctant, so how could I be reluctant? It's just that the royal clan really can't choose a woman of the right age to kiss. ”

"The mourning family knows," the Queen Mother sighed: "It's just that we're really sorry that there are too many Linhai...... Mourning family, mourning family really can't bear to see their mother and daughter separated...... Besides, it was for us to separate Linhai and Fengting back then, this time Zi Mingyue was thinking about marrying Yuan'er, could it be that the two should be separated again? ”

As she spoke, the Queen Mother shed tears.

The emperor had a headache when he saw the queen mother crying. Women are emotional animals, but some things really can't be softened because of guilt.

The last thing an emperor should do is to be soft-hearted and have a well-known weakness. Moreover, a few days ago, he also received several secret reports, and learned that the king of Wei had been gathering people's hearts everywhere in the past two days. Since ancient times, emperors have been the most suspicious, how can the emperor not be suspicious of these things that King Wei has done?

With suspicion, it is even more impossible for the emperor to let Ji Mingyue marry the crown prince of the current dynasty.

Looking at the Queen Mother, who had been shedding tears, the emperor sighed and comforted: "Not to mention that I have already informed the Duke of Weiguo that I have taken a fancy to Yunjin, the daughter-in-law. only said that if it really follows Mingyue's child's meaning, is it possible that the queen mother is willing to let Mingyue be a concubine with someone to marry the prince as a side concubine? ”

"Gui'er and Mingyue are reluctant to be concubines and mourn the family......" The Queen Mother sighed and wiped the tears in her eyes. sighed again: "Isn't Chen'er not engaged yet...... The mourning family saw that you didn't find a good candidate for Chen'er's child, so why don't you marry Mingyue to Chen'er. In this way, Chen'er can still marry far away by the mourning family, and she doesn't have to be a concubine for Yuan'er, it's really a double win."

Mo Chenyuan? The emperor raised his eyebrows, remembering what the two Mo Ziyuan brothers said to him last time in the Heart Cultivation Palace. The emperor directly refused

"The imperial sister and the queen themselves are not compatible, even if the queen does not embarrass Mingyue for the sake of the original matter, but the queen mother thinks that with the temperament of the imperial sister, she can not let Mingyue deliberately embarrass the queen? At that time, the queen's punishment of Mingyue will make people say ungrateful. Mingyue was not punished and was said to be a dignified queen, but she was ridden on the head by her daughter-in-law. Isn't it aggrieved? ”

Seeing that the emperor disobeyed her three times and twice, the queen mother was a little impatient, leaned back on the chair and said with dissatisfaction: "This is not good, that is not good." Mourning family, I see that you have forgotten how you forgot to be so stable in this position! ”

No emperor is truly willing to admit that he has risen to the throne by the support and sacrifice of others. They prefer to be praised for their own efforts. The Empress Dowager said this, as if she was saying that a man was incompetent, which poked the emperor's sore spot deeply.

Seeing the queen mother say this, the emperor was angry, annoyed and helpless, but he was also angry with the queen mother out of bad filial piety, so he had to force the anger in his heart to change the topic

"The marriage between the prince and Yunjin. Queen Mother, do you think we should pick a good day and an auspicious day to get married? It's better to choose a good day, and I might as well make a decree for marriage."

Who knew that the Queen Mother snorted coldly: "Don't you have an idea?" Do you still use these things to discuss with the mourning family? ”

The emperor was helpless, and his hand holding the cup tightened. After a long time, he sighed and compromised: "The age difference between the sixth and the fifth is less than a year, and the age of the child is also similar to Mingyue's. ”

The emperor thought about it carefully. Mo Ziyuan and Mo Chenyuan will never be able to marry Ji Mingyue, and the only remaining princes of appropriate age will be Mo Qingyuan and Mo Chengyuan. Mo Qingyuan just married a side concubine two days ago, and he is about to marry the concubine of Zheng Guogong's mansion. Besides, it was the Queen Mother's personal decree to give marriage, so naturally it cannot be reversed. Only Mo Chengyuan remained. Besides, Mo Chengyuan didn't seem to have any intention of competing for the storage position. People are also more honest. Besides, the mother concubine is one of the four concubines, and she has a capable foreign family, and her background is good, so she is worthy of Ji Mingyue.

Taigongshan thought carefully for a while, and felt that what the emperor said was good, so he smiled: "That's fine, you immediately ordered Qin Tian to choose a date."

After speaking, he remembered Feng Jiuqing and Feng Chenqing again, and asked, "How long is the emperor going to imprison Feng Chenqing?" ”

The emperor shook his head: "After Feng Jiuqing gets married, let Feng Jiuqing take Feng Chenqing back to their Yingli."

After speaking, he pressed his temples with his hand worriedly-Feng Jiuqing and his relatives did not have any suitable candidates except for Ji Mingyue...... Could it be that you really want An Yangyuan to marry Yingli?

The emperor sighed, since Ji Mingyue was stopped by the queen mother, the emperor kicked this problem to the queen mother again: "Which girl does the queen mother look at?" ”

The queen mother knew that the emperor was asking her to choose a suitable one for Feng Jiuqing and her relatives to choose reads;. He frowned and pondered, remembering a few days ago when the queen was thinking about a few candidates for Mo Ziyuan's side concubine

"What does the emperor think of the concubine in the Qing Mansion of Dali Temple?"

The concubine of the Lin Mansion? The emperor frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out which one it was.

The queen mother had to remind with a smile: "A few days ago, the queen was still thinking about giving Yuan'er a side, the third daughter of the Lin Mansion, this year has just reached the end of the year, and the family has not yet been decided."

The emperor remembered that the queen had mentioned a few words in her ear in those days. Although he still has no impression, he is only more careful about choosing a daughter-in-law for Feng Jiuqing all day long than choosing a daughter-in-law for himself, and the emperor has long been annoyed. Seeing that the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother had said yes, he didn't care about anything else, but just nodded and said

"Since the queen mother thinks it is good, presumably there will be no major problems with her character, so I will go to pass Lin Aiqing into the palace and discuss this matter with Lin Aiqing."

In fact, it is a discussion, and everyone knows that since the emperor has already opened his mouth, it is something that he has already prepared in his heart. Talking about discussing with yourself is just a nice thing to say. It's not so much a discussion as a notice. What the emperor has decided, how can they give them room to refuse?

So when the emperor told Lin Qing about this, even if Lin Qing was reluctant to give up his daughter, even if he was unwilling to do a thousand or a hundred in his heart, he could only kowtow and thank him, and staggered back home.

After Lin Qing returned home, he called Lin Yunshui into the study, and after the father and daughter locked up in the study and talked for a long time, they called Mrs. Lin into the study and told Mrs. Lin of the emperor's decision.

Lin Yunshui is gentle and generous, extremely sensible and polite, and quite knowledgeable, and is Lin Qing's most beloved daughter.

Lin Yunshui had just been talking to Lin Qing when he learned the news that she was about to marry and marry. Although he was reluctant and wanted to shout and argue for not marrying, he also understood his father's distress and knew that the emperor's decision would not give them room to refuse. Chai also seems to accept this fact very blandly.

Lin Qing was very satisfied with her daughter's reaction, but she was even more guilty in her heart. In addition, Mrs. Lin broke down and cried after hearing the news for the first time, and she wanted Lin Yunshui to comfort her, and Lin Qing felt even more uncomfortable in her heart.

It's just that although Mrs. Lin made a lot of noise in the study, she also knew that this was the emperor's intention, how could they disobey the emperor's intention with the strength of their family?

Therefore, although the family of three cried in the study behind closed doors, after leaving the door, they became a calm and breezy appearance.

Just like Lin Yunshui said, is it a blessing for Saiong to lose his horse? The emperor married her to Yingli and his relatives, and if Lin Qing agreed aggrievedly, the emperor would feel more and more guilty about their Lin family. will take more care of their mansion, and will also reuse their Lin mansion. In this way, it can be regarded as a blessing

Sure enough, as Lin Yunshui expected, within a few days, there were large and small rewards from the queen mother, Shufei, Liangfei, and Concubine De in the palace.

A few days later, the emperor's will also came. It was the will of Gonggong Li, who was next to the emperor, who came to issue it personally.

The holy decree was divided into three parts, first praised Lin Qing for a while, gave him a waiting position, and then mentioned Mrs. Lin's enthronement, from the three-rank lady to the first-grade order.

Finally, there is Lin Yunshui.

After Lin Yunshui said all kinds of good things about the holy decree, Li Shunde said the key points

"Give her the title of Caiyun and the princess of Caiyun." (To be continued)
