Chapter 83: Marriage Giving (Supplement)
"Oh?"
Empress Su raised her eyebrows.
She had been speculating about Mrs. Cheng Pingbo's intentions, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Cheng Pingbo asked her for Su Qi's family affairs this time.
For the reason given by Mrs. Chengpingbo, Queen Su believes it, her sister-in-law, although she has tossed the concubines in the house over the years, but she is really eager to dig out her only daughter.
I'm afraid that it's just for the daughter who has already married to be able to rely on more in the future, even if it is Su Qi's help, Mrs. Cheng Pingbo is definitely willing to help.
In this way, Queen Su had some curiosity in her heart.
Su Qi's love and lust are the same as her own brother, to say that Su Qi will suddenly receive because she has taken a fancy to a girl from a good family, but Queen Su doesn't believe it.
However, looking at Mrs. Chengping like this, it seems to be true?
Empress Su was a little interested and asked, "Oh? I don't know which girl he has a crush on? ”
Mrs. Cheng Pingbo saw that the queen was a little interested, and hurriedly said: "It is the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion." ”
Hearing the words "Weiyuan Marquis Mansion", the smile on Queen Su's face immediately faded, she didn't forget jì, last time it was because of this big girl in Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, she was so angry that she lost her mind for a while, and she argued with the emperor.
This matter has been going on for a few days, but the emperor has obviously not lost his anger, even when he should rest in Kunning Palace on the first day of this month, he did not come over to deal with political affairs.
After the last dispute, the queen can be regarded as seeing clearly some things that she has long thought she deliberately turned a blind to, and she has less expectations for the emperor in her heart.
But, even if this is the case, mentioning this eldest girl of the Feng family, it is difficult to make Queen Su have any good voice.
But......
Queen Su reacted immediately, and listened to Mrs. Pingbo's meaning, Su Qi fell in love with the eldest girl of the Feng family and wanted to marry her?
It is said that dogs can't change ****, although this sentence is very rough. But no one can refuse to admit that there is indeed a sense of truth in this.
Queen Su didn't believe that Su Qi and other lustful people would one day suddenly turn back because of a woman, just like her own brother Cheng Pingbo, who said many times when he was young that he wanted to repent. But until now that people are old, don't they also want to lie on a woman's belly every day?
As the son who is the most successful in this regard, how could Su Qi be different?
In this case, if the eldest girl of the Feng family is really married to Su Qi, then. Wouldn't she be the second Mrs. Cheng Pingbo?
As long as she thought that the emperor had figured out that Guò had come to see this eldest girl of the Feng family last time, Empress Su hated her teeth a little, even if she no longer looked forward to the emperor's love now, as the queen of the middle palace, she would never want any woman to ride on her neck.
In this way, Chengping Bofu is really a good destination for the eldest girl of the Feng family......
However, after only a moment, Empress Su shook her head and retracted her wishful thinking, not to mention that the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion was much better than the Chengping Bo Mansion. Su Qi's reputation resounded throughout the capital, even if there was his own queen behind, the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion would definitely not respond to this family affair, just saying that this eldest girl of the Feng family was recognized as a daughter by the old man Han, and asked the Han family to recognize her relatives directly in front of so many people, he knew that the idea of the eldest girl of the Feng family was not so easy to fight.
If the daughter of the old man Han married into the infamous Chengping Bofu, it would be a big joke.
Old Man Han is shrewd, and he values this newly recognized daughter so much, how could he allow such a thing to happen.
Thinking like this, Queen Su sighed in her heart. She glanced at Mrs. Cheng Pingbo, who was hopeful, and suddenly said angrily: "You are really whimsical, just with Su Qi's virtue, you dare to hit the idea of the eldest girl of the Feng family." Over the years, Chengping Bofu has provoked the Han family, and the Han family has not taken Chengping Bofu seriously, so naturally there will be no retaliation, is it possible that you think you can ride on the head of the Han family casually? ”
Queen Su actually doesn't know much about national affairs, but she has been in the palace for so many years. also saw the emperor's jealousy of the Han family.
Even the emperor didn't dare to move the Han family lightly, and a Chengping Bofu thought about it, was Su Qi too bold or too stupid?
Queen Su's sudden anger made Mrs. Cheng Pingbo also startled, wasn't it okay originally, and it was not untempting to look at the queen's mother, why did she suddenly change her face?
But after listening to Queen Su's words, Mrs. Chengping really felt that Su Qi and her were whimsical.
also blamed Su Qi, he was also in a semi-coma at that time when he heard Xiao Jingbei and a few people mention the identity of Feng Zhige, before that he didn't even know who the girl who made him suffer a big loss was, when he first learned the identity of the enemy, he only thought about letting Feng Zhige be tortured by him for the rest of his life, so naturally he didn't have the time to think more.
Why didn't they expect that the eldest girl of the Feng family, in addition to being the daughter of the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion, was now the daughter of the old man Han?
Back then, a son of the Han family was able to beat the Su family to death on the street after competing with the Su family's children and being jealous, and the Su family could only swallow their anger afterwards, and now the daughter of the old man Han ......
Mrs. Cheng Pingbo shuddered when she thought of this.
She was only thinking about her daughter before, but only then did she suddenly regain some reason, even if the pie drawn by Su Qi was tempting, it was impossible at all, what could she do?
Mrs. Cheng Pingbo was a little wilted in an instant, and she was counted down by the queen again, and she went out of the palace and returned home a little listlessly.
In Kunning Palace, after Mrs. Chengping retired, the queen sat on the phoenix chair and kept a posture and pondered for a long time.
Since the last time a quarrel broke out with the emperor because of this eldest girl of the Feng family, the queen has been sending people to pay attention to Zhao Tiannan's whereabouts, and it was from then that he knew about Zhao Tiannan's move to go to the imperial tomb.
Empress Su didn't know why the emperor went to the imperial mausoleum, but she thought it must have something to do with the person who had become a taboo in the palace.
The Su family was originally a family of small officials who continued from the previous dynasty, and at the beginning of the founding of the Dawu Dynasty, they failed to touch the core of power, and Queen Su at that time was just a girl in the boudoir, so she actually speculated about Hansu according to some clues after entering the palace.
She only vaguely knew that Han Su was the queen of the Yuan on the royal jade, and it was from the Han family, but she didn't know what happened between the emperor and Han Su.
A person who has been dead for more than 20 years, but has been like a lingering shadow covering the hearts of all the women in this harem, as long as Queen Su thinks of this, the hatred in her heart is as irrepressible as the crazy weeds.
Since the emperor first mentioned the eldest girl of the Feng family. The number of times I went to the imperial tomb became more and more frequent, could it be that this eldest girl of the Feng family was very similar to that Hansu?
Empress Su had to think so.
For the emperor, any woman in this world. If he wants to, he will get it.
Empress Su does not doubt this, with the emperor's abnormal appearance now, if the emperor really accepts the eldest girl of the Feng family into the palace, she will be the queen. Isn't it becoming more and more unstable?
Empress Su felt an unprecedented sense of crisis in her heart.
She no longer thought that she could get the favor from the emperor now, but since she was sitting on this phoenix chair, she definitely didn't want to be squeezed down.
Therefore, even if it was just a possibility, Queen Su faintly regarded the eldest girl of the Feng family who had not yet met as an enemy.
Perhaps, the best way is really to marry the eldest girl of the Feng family to Su Qi like Mrs. Cheng Pingbo?
Queen Su pondered.
Although this matter is quite difficult to implement, if it can be said that the emperor will give marriage. Could it be that the Marquis of Weiyuan and the Han family can still openly resist the decree?
As for how to make the emperor nod......
Then, let's start with the emperor's jealousy of the Han family.
Empress Su thought about her calculations again, and when she was sure that it was really possible to convince the emperor, she stood up and invited the palace people to freshen up.
……
When Empress Su personally came to the Qianqing Palace with a cup of tonic soup, Zhao Tiannan had just written the imperial pen on the fold of the imperial history of the Pingbo Mansion ignoring the etiquette and teaching, and the vermilion handwriting was written very clearly. Do not go out at will.
not only demoted the title of Earl Chengping, fined Yulu, but also put the family of Earl Chengping under house arrest.
But unexpectedly, he did not immediately take away Su Qi's position as the son.
It's just that presumably the people of Chengping Bofu will not be grateful because of Zhao Tiannan's kindness.
Chengping Bofu was just a small official's house back then. There is basically no property in the family, even if there are some properties after Queen Su turned over, there are not many of them, and there are no people in the entire Bofu who have the ability to take care of the housework, and it is a good thing that those industries can be maintained without losing money, let alone expect to be able to give the house more input.
So. This mansion has only relied on Cheng Pingbo's fortune to live, and because the masters of the Bo Mansion have followed Cheng Pingbo's virtues, they used to live a tight life, if it weren't for the maintenance of Mrs. Cheng Pingbo, who is good at careful calculations, I'm afraid this life would have been unbearable for a long time.
Now that Uncle Chengping has been fined for three years, his title has been reduced again, etc., I am afraid that in the next few years, the whole of the Bofu will have to tighten their belts to live.
As for the male masters of Bofu, they are looking for flowers and asking willows as usual?
Not to mention whether they have any money left in their hands, the emperor's ban order alone is enough to make them stop.
Zhao Tiannan put aside the fold in his hand, and listened to Gonggong Lin whisper: "Your Majesty, the queen is here." ”
After Gonggong Lin finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Tiannan inquiringly.
As long as Zhao Tiannan signaled him to send the queen away, he would not hesitate to carry out Zhao Tiannan's will.
As for what Queen Su would think, this was not within the scope of Gonggong Lin's consideration, and he didn't care.
If it was usual, Zhao Tiannan might have directly asked Gonggong Lin to send Empress Su away, but today, he didn't.
Looking at Gonggong Lin, Zhao Tiannan asked, "What happened to the Su family, the queen still doesn't know about it, right?" ”
Hearing this, Gonggong Lin nodded, "According to the emperor's orders, this matter has not reached the queen's ears. ”
This palace is Zhao Tiannan's palace, if he wants to deliberately not let one person know something, that person will definitely not know.
Even if that person is the queen of the Middle Palace.
Hearing what Gonggong Lin said, Zhao Tiannan nodded with satisfaction.
Since the queen didn't know about the Su family, why did she take the initiative to come to the Qianqing Palace this time?
Although Zhao Tiannan has never been impressed by the queen he has carefully selected, he is also a husband and wife for more than 20 years, and he also knows a thing or two about Queen Su's temperament.
After the last quarrel, he never went to Kunning Palace again, with the queen's temperament that likes to stand up, even if she can recognize the form, she will never bow her head so quickly.
Inexplicable. Zhao Tiannan was a little curious about the queen's intentions.
He nodded at Gonggong Lin, "Queen Chuan, come in." ”
Gonggong Lin answered yes, and then quietly retreated, only for a moment. And he led the queen into the inner sanctum.
Empress Su carefully held the soup cup in her hand, first gave a blessing to Zhao Tiannan, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is the tonic soup stewed by the concubines herself, the emperor might as well use it while it is hot." The emperor has worked hard to deal with state affairs these days, and although the concubines can't help the emperor, they can make some soup for the emperor to replenish his body. ”
Queen Su said naturally, and she couldn't tell that she had such a quarrel with Zhao Tiannan not long ago.
Zhao Tiannan glanced at the soup cup in Queen Su's hand, and Gonggong Lin took the soup cup from Queen Su's hand and sent it to the imperial case.
There was still heat on the sweet white porcelain soup cup, and a few wisps of white vapor came out from time to time, Zhao Tiannan reached out to open the lid, and smelled a fragrance mixed with medicinal fragrance.
This is the tonic soup that Queen Su is best at.
Gently stirring the steaming tonic soup in the cup with a white porcelain spoon, Zhao Tiannan looked at Queen Su: "I have received the queen's wishes." I still have to deal with political affairs, and if the queen has nothing else to do, kneel down. ”
Hearing Zhao Tiannan say this, Queen Su was anxious, she came to Qianqing Palace with a purpose, if she didn't achieve her goal, wouldn't she come in vain?
So, Queen Su hurriedly said: "Don't hide it from the emperor, the concubine does have something to ask the emperor." ”
Zhao Tiannan raised his eyebrows, and said with some surprise: "I don't know what the queen has to do?" ”
Empress Su glanced at Gonggong Lin with a deep groan. obviously didn't want Gonggong Lin to hear the conversation between her and Zhao Tiannan.
In Queen Su's opinion, when Gonggong Lin saw her such an obvious hint, she had to take the initiative to retreat, but in fact, Gonggong Lin stood in place without moving. It's like he didn't notice Queen Su's glance at all.
Queen Su was angry and hateful.
If she is the most unpleasant person in this palace, Gonggong Lin can definitely be regarded as one of them.
Gonggong Lin is now the most powerful eunuch in the palace, if such a person can be owned by her, the queen doesn't know how happy she is, but this Gonggong Lin is like a stone in a thatched pit, smelly and hard, and he turned a blind eye to Queen Su's several times to woo her. It's no wonder that Queen Su will look at him unpleasantly.
Under the secret hatred of Empress Su, Gonggong Lin looked up at Zhao Tiannan, and it was not until Zhao Tiannan nodded lightly that he bowed down and retreated.
Empress Su secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This time, she came to persuade the emperor to give Su Qi and the eldest girl of the Feng family a marriage, if it is done, it is okay, the will of the marriage is the emperor's, and the Han family does not dare to disobey the decree.
But if this matter doesn't work out, and Gonggong Lin hears that she actually asks to marry the eldest girl of the Feng family for his nephew who treats women as his life, if this matter reaches the ears of Old Man Han again, Queen Su thinks that she can't bear Old Man Han's anger.
Queen Su is self-aware, she is a queen who looks glamorous in the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of people like Old Man Han, I am afraid that she is really nothing.
Empress Su had no doubt that if the emperor really wanted to choose one between Old Man Han and her, the emperor would definitely give up on her.
Therefore, it is not reasonable for Queen Su to be careless.
After Gonggong Lin retreated with all the palace people in the palace, Queen Su said: "Your Majesty, the concubine came to ask the emperor for the sake of her mother's family this time." ”
When Zhao Tiannan heard this, the movement of his hand was a meal, and the spoon touched the soup cup lightly, and a crisp sound occurred.
Didn't Gonggong Lin say that Queen Su didn't hear the news from outside the palace, so how did the queen come here for the matter of Chengping Bofu?
Zhao Tiannan didn't doubt what Gonggong Lin said, so he glanced at Empress Su casually and asked, "If the queen has anything, she might as well say it directly." ”
Queen Su was overjoyed, and the emperor's mood seemed to be quite good, so that what she asked for might really have a chance of success.
Thinking like this, Queen Su's voice was a little lighter, and she said: "The emperor also knows what the concubine's maiden family is like, the concubine's unsuccessful brother is only obsessed with women every day, if there is no sister-in-law in the mansion to take care of it, I am afraid that it will be chaotic long ago." Some time ago, he was favored by the emperor and set up the seventh son of Bofu, and the nephew's sex is exactly the same as that of his brother, and these days the concubines are not less worried about the future of Bofu. ”
As she spoke, Queen Su took out a silk silk to wipe her tears, and saw that Zhao Tiannan didn't want to interrupt her, and continued, "Fortunately, the nephew of the concubine has been a little prodigal recently, this time she said that she had taken a fancy to a girl from a good family, and wanted to marry this girl home, and she was determined to live a good life in the future, so the concubine asked the emperor to come here." ”
After listening to Queen Su's intentions, Zhao Tiannan's thin lips slowly pulled out an elegant arc.
In Queen Su's words, Su Qi is like a prodigal son, and he doesn't change his money.
If she knew what Su Qi had done in front of the public yesterday, would she be eager to swallow back all the words she had just said?
Thinking like this, Zhao Tiannan's heart became even happier.
He said with interest, "Oh? I don't know which girl the queen's nephew is in love with? If it is suitable, I might as well fulfill him. ”
The queen was even more happy when she heard this, and she didn't have time to think about why the emperor was so easy to talk today, so she opened her mouth and said, "It's the eldest girl of the Feng family!" (To be continued.) )
