Chapter 298: The Visitor
Mingzhu listened to the clear and bright voice outside the window, and a strange feeling crossed her heart, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl, and her eyebrows and eyes were dyed with a smile.
"Did the prince agree? I thought the prince didn't like a girl like me who was too domineering? Mingzhu actually felt that the prince was not very satisfied with her.
Zhou Li chuckled, his voice was clear and good, "My father likes you a lot, but he thinks that the girl's family should be gentle and virtuous like my mother, but you and my mother are different people, but you can treat people and things very well, and my father can be eye-catching." But when choosing a daughter-in-law, you always have to pick something wrong. He readily agreed to help me, and he was still very satisfied with you, but the most important thing was that my grandmother always thought you were very good, and she said that my mother was not strong enough, and she hoped that I could marry a strong and refreshing girl as a daughter-in-law. ”
"If only you didn't hate me." Mingzhu pursed her lips and smiled.
"Well, the person who hates you is the one from my family, she probably guessed a little, the housekeeper said that it seems that she is introducing her maiden girl to my father to me, but the age is a little young and not suitable, my father thinks it is still a childish mess after seeing it once, and it can't be compared with you at all, so I didn't like it." Zhou Li said something and didn't hide it.
"Oh, that's a good idea, you said that if the matter is decided, will she take care to help you with the wedding?" Mingzhu didn't care about being shy, and reminded him of all the things that might happen.
"I've taken this into consideration, but now is not the time to say it, I'll go and tell my father when the holy decree is issued, how about letting the side concubine help Xiangli?" Zhou Li also pondered about this.
But no matter how unfavored the stepfamily is, she is also a concubine, and the major event of the marriage of the sister-in-law cannot pass her. So I can only compromise and let the side concubines also participate, and the west wind presses the east wind to seek a balance.
"It's an idea too. Why did you forget the concubine, you are his grandson, and she can't wait to help you! When the time comes, you go back and beg her, even if you point a grandmother to you, you can suppress that one. A gleam crossed Mingzhu's eyes.
"Huh! You have a point, how about I take the opportunity to bring my grandmother back? Zhou Li thought about simply doing it in one step.
"I'm afraid it's not so fast, this is going to ask the emperor." Mingzhu thought for a moment and spoke.
"Yes, I'll go and tell my father when I go back."
The two of them talked. Zhou Li was called away again, and Mingzhu rested crookedly for a while.
I arrived at the villa that night, and I was busy until midnight before I could pack up and settle down. Mingzhu only ate a little snack bought on the road, and the maids took a bite and stopped.
The next day was inevitably late, and Mingzhu was still a little confused when she got up, and Bilan helped dress up. While reporting it, he said: "The two princesses, Shuyi and Zhou Ying, are here. I'm waiting in the front hall. ”
"Well, change into festive clothes, and I'll go to the Queen Mother in a while." Mingzhu rubbed her eyes.
"Why are you two so energetic, I can't get up from sleepiness." Mingzhu yawned and greeted Shuyi and Zhou Ying.
"We slept in the carriage yesterday and were not sleepy. I saw the third brother look dejected yesterday, what happened? Zhou Ying asked anxiously.
"Yes, why does Lao Qi look like he is determined to win, and his face is not very good. I didn't dare to come up and ask you. Shuyi smiled and spoke, and the seventh was unhappy. And she was pleased.
"Yesterday I scolded Lao Qi, he always likes to put up a shelf and take me as a maid to command, I was reprimanded in front of the emperor's uncle, Lao Qi and the emperor's uncle begged, the emperor didn't say anything to let them all go down, but I refused." Mingzhu has nothing to hide, and her attitude is also obvious, but she didn't say anything about the holy decree.
Shuyi patted her chest, "I'm scared to death, so I'm relieved." So how did he look like I had won? ”
"Uncle Emperor didn't refuse him, so I don't know what Uncle Emperor thinks." Mingzhu frowned as if she was a little worried.
"You don't have to worry too much, there is still the imperial grandmother, the imperial grandmother has always looked down on the seventh child, and she will not agree." Shuyi smiled, a hint of sarcasm on her face.
"Huh! I think neither of them has a play, and if there is a play, it has already been decreed, so why wait for today. Zhou Ying smiled affirmatively.
"How can you be so sure?" Mingzhu was a little surprised, Zhou Ying's acuity was not half a point less than her, no one should underestimate anyone.
"My father is a decisive person, and if he can make a decision early, he will not let things get worse and worse. Now it seems that my brother is also no play, and he knows it himself, otherwise he wouldn't have that expression. Zhou Ying looked like she was watching a good show in the depths of her eyes.
After all, something is different, and the most important thing in my heart is not this younger brother, if I had to help my brother achieve his wish before, since I was pushed out of the top cylinder, this heart has also been discouraged.
In the eyes of the masters, the most important thing is the position of power, the mother and sister also have to stand back, and they can be sacrificed at any time, she is unwilling to be a chess piece, but it is impossible to do her best.
"It doesn't matter, you still have to listen to the elders." Mingzhu smiled.
At this time, someone came to report, "Miss, Miss Li Sishu and Miss Li came to visit you, do you want to see you?" ”
Mingzhu raised her head and thought for a long time in confusion but didn't remember who it was, "I know this person?" "Why can't I remember where I've seen it?
"You forget, she attended the banquet of the fifth princess and went to the palace once, and her uncle-in-law is a third-grade official, and she is also among them." Turblue remembered the man.
"Oh, I remember, it's the bold girl who made the fuss that day." Mingzhu suddenly remembered who she was. The kid who was a little provocative in his words.
"That's right, it's her, let us in, let's see who this girl is?" Mingzhu smiled narrowly.
Li Sishu was wearing a water-red brocade pleated skirt and spring shirt, Shi Shiran walked in, saw Shuyi and Zhou Ying, her eyes flashed with surprise, and then she bowed down with a straight face, "Say hello to the fourth princess, hello to the fifth princess, and say hello to Sister Mingzhu." ”
"You're welcome." Mingzhu spoke first without waiting for Shuyi and Zhou Ying to speak, and also prevented them from speaking, wanting to find out what this girl meant by reality.
"My sister was the one who attended the banquet in the palace last time? I haven't seen her for so long, and my sister is getting more and more beautiful. As soon as Mingzhu spoke, she praised first.
"I can't deserve my sister's praise, I've been learning the rules at home, and the last time I went back, I was reprimanded by my aunt, saying that I shouldn't be too talkative, and punished me." Li Sishu seemed to be embarrassed and smiled.
"If you know that you have a lot of mouths, don't come out and show your eyes." Shuyi came very unceremoniously, she was the one who was stirring up trouble that day, and she openly accused herself, don't think she forgot.
Li Sishu instantly burst into tears, and lowered her head a little aggrieved, "I'm sorry, I was too impulsive that day, and I ask the princess not to remember the villain, forgive me this time." As he spoke, he bowed and bowed, respectfully and respectfully, and his posture was sufficient. (To be continued.) )
ps: If you want to go out to do things today, there may not be three watches, if it's too late to wait for three watches, don't wait, three watches tomorrow.
