"Are you almost ready for marriage?" The Queen Mother drank fragrant milk tea and chatted with the old lady of the Li family.

"It's almost the same, the dowry is big and small, and the preparation will begin, even if there are some small things missing, you can fill it." Mrs. Li didn't dare to fool in front of the Queen Mother, and replied truthfully.

"Well, that's right, my pearl is also a dowry, the mourning family has asked the emperor to choose a location, and the place has been chosen so that the third prince can build a mansion outside, but the wedding still has to be held in the palace, and it will take more than two years to wait for the mansion to be built." The Queen Mother smiled and spoke.

"Let the Queen Mother worry about it." Mrs. Li was secretly happy in her heart, it was inconvenient everywhere in the palace, how could it be compared to being outside, she could go to see her granddaughter when she was free, how could she often hand signs into the palace in the palace.

"The former Wai family rewarded Brother Yan with four concubines, I didn't want to have a lot of trouble, did Sun have his own children and grandchildren, but what about that Li." The Queen Mother couldn't remember Li Sishu's name, turned her head to look at Mingzhu and asked with her eyes.

"Li Sishu, Queen Mother, have you forgotten." Mingzhu sat next to the Queen Mother, peeled walnuts and melon seeds for the Queen Mother, put them in a small dish, and used them to knock her teeth when the Queen Mother was free.

"Oh, yes, it's just that this girl doesn't understand the rules very much, so let the side concubine play the piano for her? Cut! I haven't heard of this rule yet, the mourning family punished Brother Yan angrily, it's really a foolish thing. The Queen Mother looked disdainful.

It seems that clarifying why he is meddling is giving the Li family face, but in fact, he is also beating the Li family, no one in my Shangguan family can be bullied arbitrarily, otherwise I will slap you in the face and let the whole capital know.

Old Madam Li smiled bitterly and nodded again and again, "What the Queen Mother taught is that the most important thing is the rules, and this dignity cannot be messed with." "I'm also a little unconvinced, my granddaughter is a concubine, can't I hold the one in your hand.

"What you're saying is that you can't mess with humility. Let's go and say goodbye to the concubine later, don't let him wait. ”

"This time Jiaxuan is filial piety to the concubine, it should be almost. Go and ask someone to spread a word, and tell the concubine later, and stay here for dinner at noon. Brother Li doesn't know if he will come at noon? Mingzhu muttered.

"Come on, he'll definitely come if you come." The Queen Mother nodded with a smile.

Mingzhu smiled and nodded slightly, looking very satisfied.

When Mrs. Li saw that the Queen Mother was going to send off guests, she immediately got up, "Then the old body will retire first, and Qingyun told your sister Mingzhu that we are leaving." ”

"Goodbye, sister, I'll play with you." Qingyun smiled and waved goodbye to Mingzhu.

"Okay, go slowly." Mingzhu nodded with a smile.

Waiting for the pearl to leave, he asked, "What do you think?" ”

The Queen Mother shook her head, "It's not good, it's too reluctant to be a queen, it's not as good as the queen back then, although the queen was not chosen as the crown princess when she was young, but she is more mature and stable than Li Qingyun, and she is better than steady, which is too naïve." ”

"It's good in the big picture."

"When you said that when you were in the summer resort, who didn't have the will to die, do you think she is the only one who has the will to die? Which of the girls present did not hide the hairpin in her sleeve pocket and prepare to die, is she alone heroic? But no one talked about it outside, and the Li family hyped up that our girl was ambitious or something, which was really a joke. I remember that Uncle Wang's granddaughter hid scissors in her pocket, she was still pinching it when she was rescued, and everyone saw it when she fell to the ground when she got into the carriage, how old is she, and a child under ten years old is not braver than Li Qingyun? What did you say when you came back? They didn't say anything. To say that my sisters are braver than me, I was scared. This is a sensible and measured child. What did we say? You still have a scar on your body, and you have one more aggrieved word at home, didn't you mention it? ”

The queen mother disagreed with the so-called brave death of the Li family girl, at that time, so many women with children, some were still ignorant children, some were just sensible, all of them were much younger than them, but none of them added to the chaos, and quietly gave gifts to the Shangguan family afterwards, no one said a bad word, Mingzhu was injured, no one said a word, everyone didn't mention it, this matter affected the reputation of the daughter's family, and it should not be mentioned.

Only the old lady of the Li family, who proudly preaches her granddaughter's sensible, tenacious and brave or something, cries every time she participates in a party, she cries her granddaughter's grievances, what a joke.

On the grievances of my pearl, it should be counted as the number one, a good girl raised by Jin Zunyu, the fur is reluctant to touch it, and there is an ugly scar for this matter, what can our family say, doesn't it make the scary people shut up.

This Li family is very flamboyant and ambitious.

Mingzhu smiled indifferently, "Brother Li said that he doesn't care, my little thing is nothing, there are more people than me who have been wronged, people are even dead, I am still alive, my hands and feet are sound, I can't shout that I am not qualified." She thinks that she is not the most unlucky, so she shouldn't shout grievances, but people have lost their lives and lost their husbands or children, which is much worse than her.

The Queen Mother nodded thoughtfully, "That's exactly what I said, there are people who lost their lives in vain, this kind of thing is a shameful thing, it is an uncomfortable thing in the emperor's heart, it shouldn't be mentioned again and again, the more the emperor mentions it, the more he can't get over it, he leaves his mother and uncle who is like a father, and he leaves the old and weak women and children to escape alone, the emperor is more uncomfortable than us, and he loses his temper when he mentions it, and he can't get over it until now." You can still preach it vigorously. The voice was full of disdain.

The emperor is also a human being, and he also has a face and feelings, and he is not a brute. When something happened, he also had a time when he couldn't go through this hurdle in his heart, some things couldn't tear people's scars, and the rewards and punishments seemed to be over, but the emperor didn't pass this matter in his heart.

Mingzhu smiled, "I know, the family doesn't let people mention this, it's all said in the past, it's the greatest gift to be able to come back all, and nothing else matters." ”

After experiencing a moment of life and death, you will understand that it is really good, and other things are not so important.

"Well, I understand, I made you suffer a big crime, but I didn't mention it to the emperor, and I didn't ask for benefits, don't blame my aunt and grandmother." The Queen Mother had tears in her eyes, she had to make the emperor feel guilty all the time, so that the Shangguan family could go further, more stable and safer.

"Auntie, why are you polite to me, what you think is what I think, a scar can change the emperor's trust, it's too worthwhile, I'm afraid I can't change it." Mingzhu held her hand and rubbed it gently, calming the old lady's excited mood.

The Queen Mother covered her face for a long time before she let out a long breath, "It's hard for you." Summer Resort, your watch is very good, the emperor has it in mind, in the future, the female guard and the secret guard will be easy to mention, if you want to change it, you will change it to a big one, our family is not short of gold, silver and jewelry, what do you want those things for, I am blind to that blood and tears. The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and opened her mouth word by word.

Mingzhu smiled, "I listen to you." ”

"Whoa! Good boy. The Queen Mother nodded with relief, this chess has come to an anxious time, and a wrong move will be a catastrophe.

"You gave the antidote pill to the emperor?" The Queen Mother leaned on the bright yellow peony flower cushion and asked.

"Hmm." Mingzhu stretched out a finger and shook it, pursing her lips and stealing fun.

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded with satisfaction. (To be continued.) )
