When the Jiang family came out of the palace, his legs and feet were weak.

She was in a fog, and she didn't know how she got out of the palace, how she got into her carriage, and how she returned to Chifu.

Along the way, no, to be precise, since I saw the Queen Mother today and said the first sentence to the Queen Mother, Jiang's whole mind felt as if a bomb had exploded, blowing her whole person up.

Her feet fell to the ground, but at this moment, Jiang felt collapsed, and her legs and feet weighed thousands of pounds, so that she couldn't even take a step.

Seeing this scene, the Jiang family's personal maids Qiu Rong and Qiu Tong really sweated for their master, if they didn't care about Jiang's face, they really hated to carry Jiang back to the inner courtyard now.

The Jiang family was in a daze, and they didn't know how they got back to Wutong Courtyard.

It wasn't until I saw Chi Mingxuan leading the little guy Brother Lin over that I was in a trance and felt a little real.

Chi Mingxuan took Brother Lin by the hand, and had been standing in front of the Jiang family for a long time, but the Jiang family couldn't get back to his senses.

She looked into the distance with empty eyes, frowned, and at first glance she had encountered something that made her very embarrassed and anxious.

Chi Mingxuan shook his hand several times in front of Jiang's eyes, but he didn't attract Jiang's attention, and couldn't help but ask Qiurong worriedly: "Did the Queen Mother say something to her mother today?" ”

Today, not long after his father Chi Zhongli went to Hanlin Yuan on an errand, his mother was personally taken into the palace by the queen mother's father-in-law Jinbao.

Although the mother has not been in the palace for a long time this time, however, looking at the mother's spirit, she is obviously "frightened".

Ji Mingxuan is not a little girl who knows nothing, when she sees the current situation of the Jiang family, she almost reflexively thought, isn't it...... Was it the Queen Mother who reprimanded her mother? Maybe...... Stuffed a maid for your mother?

This "maid" is self-evident, she was by no means given to serve the Jiang family, but to serve her father Chi Zhongli.

Don't ask Chi Mingxuan why he thought of this question at the first time, in fact, in the past few days, because his father Chi Zhongli has become famous, and people who want to please his father have sent countless "good family girls" and "Qinglou Qing officials" to Chi Mansion, as well as various "thin horses" and "singers".

Those who want to cling to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion or the Jiangge Old Mansion, or just simply watch Chi Zhongli leap over the dragon gate, and want to have a good relationship with him, knowing that there is only one original wife in his inner house, they are also full of strength and want to stuff women in the backyard of Chi Mansion.

Fortunately, the father was resolute enough, and even if the mother was scolded and squeezed as a "jealous woman", she still gritted her teeth and sent everyone away.

Otherwise, the current Chi Mansion is afraid that it would have turned the sky upside down a long time ago.

Chi Mingxuan was worried that it would be a woman in Beijing who did not deal with her mother and reported her mother's non-"virtuous" practice to the Queen Mother, so that her mother was summoned to the palace by the Queen Mother, and now she is not willing to give up.

For a while, his eyes were red in annoyance, so he forced Qiu Rong and Qiu Tong to say, "You sue me, but the Queen Mother reprimanded her mother today?" ”

Qiu Rong and Qiu Tong didn't know what to say, it wasn't that they didn't want to answer Ji Mingxuan's question, but in fact, they weren't allowed to enter the main hall of Cining Palace at all.

The queen mother summoned the foreign women, and the foreign women could only enter alone, and the maids could only stay outside and wait.

None of them entered Cining Palace, how did they know what the Queen Mother said to her wife.

Qiu Rong and Qiu Tong, you look at me and I look at you, but they can't say why.

And their appearance of not knowing how to respond, in the eyes of Chi Mingxuan, they were embarrassed, and they didn't know how to explain to her that they didn't protect the Jiang family, so that her mother was wronged in the palace.

Ji Mingxuan's eyes immediately turned even redder, and tears instantly overflowed into his eyes, and he was about to flow out before he could speak.

"I knew it was going to be like that, I knew it. Hmph, they all say that the Queen Mother is kind and kind, I think it's ...... at all."

The words "fake benevolence and false righteousness" behind Chi Mingxuan have not yet been spoken, but they were so frightened by Jiang's shout - "Sister Xuan" that they couldn't open their mouths anymore.

Jiang Shi came back to his senses at this moment, and couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and stretched out his finger and poked Chi Mingxuan's forehead fiercely, "The queen mother is talking about it behind your back, and you dare to say that the queen mother is not, you stinky girl, is your life too long?" ”

Put his hands together, chanted a few times in succession, and prayed sincerely, what "the young girl is ignorant, offends the queen mother, beg the queen mother to be magnanimous, don't be like a child."

After Jiang finished chattering, he looked at the tears in the eyes of the girl in front of him, and there was a red spot on his forehead.

couldn't help but pick up Brother Lin, and at the same time led Chi Mingxuan to the warm pavilion.

"But have you had lunch?"

When the Jiang family left the palace, it was just in time for lunch, and the Queen Mother originally left her for lunch, but she was rejected by the Jiang family in a daze.

Chi Mingxuan shook his head, and Brother Lin also put her arms around Jiang's neck at this time, and said in a milky voice, "Mother, Brother Lin is hungry." ”

"Well, Mother will bring you to dinner."

After lunch, the nurse took Lin Ge'er away, and Chi Mingxuan saw that Jiang's spirit was not good, so she didn't bother Jiang's much, but Gu Zi went back to the room for a lunch break.

And when all the girls and mothers-in-law retreated, Jiang also lay on the bed in the inner room, and when he wanted to squint and relax, he couldn't sleep anyway.

She was thinking about what the Queen Mother asked her about this morning.

Alas, so two very different people, how does the Queen Mother think that those two are compatible?

Jiang had a headache and frowned all afternoon.

It wasn't until the evening that he finished his dinner and sent the three children back, but he couldn't wait to pull Chi Zhongli and went back to the inner room.

"The Queen Mother called you into the palace today, but what did you say?"

Not long after the Jiang family entered the palace, Chi Zhongli received a message sent to him by the people in the palace.

As for what the Jiang family looked like when he came back, Chi Zhongli naturally knew it.

He knew that something must have happened to the Jiang family in the palace, otherwise, he would not have to go back to the inner house in a soft pocket if his legs were weak.

Although he was also anxious, he wanted to go back to Chifu earlier and ask the Jiang family for clarification.

However, he is now a new official and is working as an errand in the Hanlin Academy.

It has been less than ten days since I joined the company, and if I ask for leave now, I will inevitably leave a bad impression in front of people.

Chi Zhongli endured to go back to the house and ask the Jiang family, when eating, it was not good to show anxiety in front of the three children, but now he can't scruple about it.

Chi Zhongli spoke, and when the Jiang family heard Chi Zhongli's words, he was inexplicably relieved of his heart for a day, but at this moment, he slowly let go.

She said to Chi Zhongli: "The Queen Mother asked me today, what do you mean by marrying the five girls to the King of Qin?" ”

Jiang's voice fell, but Chi Zhongli suddenly froze all over.

He exclaimed in disbelief, "What did you say?" ”

After the words came out, he hurriedly asked: "The Queen Mother wants to give the delicate girl a good match, and give it to ...... To the King of Qin? ”

The warm and steady look on Ji Zhongli's face was changing rapidly at this moment, and in the end, the whole thing became solemn.

It is rare for Chi Zhongli to show such a hesitant, difficult to choose, and secretive expression in front of the Jiang family.

He is always gentle and elegant, just like an elegant and elegant man who cooks wine and appreciates plums, but right now, his brows are frowning, and even his thin lips can't suppress the tightness.

Jiang nodded.

Reluctantly, he replied, "Yes." ”

While waiting with his own hands, he took off Ji Zhongli's robe, and at the same time took his hand and sat down on the edge of the bed.

carefully and carefully, after entering the palace today, the Queen Mother told Chi Zhongli what she said to her.

Of course, what the Queen Mother said, "good appearance, well-behaved temperament, gentle and generous" and the like, Jiang didn't care.

She had never heard that as long as that girl met the above three points, she could be a super-grade princess; If this is the case, I am afraid that a quarter of the girls in Dawei are enough to be princes and princesses.

Jiang sighed, a little at a loss.

In today's scene, the Queen Mother obviously made a calculation and made up her mind.

asked her what she meant, but it was not good for autocracy ** to decide the family affairs of the girl of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, and it was just the face of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion.

It's just that the five girls and King Qin, the two people who are different from each other, really don't match!!

The five girls won't talk about it, it's not that she belittles her niece, her niece is good, her temperament is indeed good, she has a good heart, and she is also a stable and decent person.

It's just that she is stable and decent, and she marries into a noble family to be a concubine and daughter-in-law, and it's okay; marrying into an ordinary powerful family and being a clan woman in charge of the middle feed, it is barely okay; However, Princess Qin, the only princess with a different surname in the Great Wei, this super concubine of King Qin, is really not so easy to be.

Not to mention the title of King Qin, everyone is eyeing him, and he can't be pulled off the horse; Just talking about the reputation of King Qin's six relatives, this, this, he has already killed five girls.

Jiang's worried eyebrows were twisted into pimples.

Chi Zhongli recovered from the shock, and then asked the Jiang family again, "The Queen Mother asked you what you think, how did you answer?" ”

Jiang glared at Chi Zhongli angrily, "How else can we say, we are uncles and aunts, and we are not the biological parents of the fifth girl, how can we be her master?" ”

sighed again: "The concubine told the Queen Mother that we can't be the master of the five girls' family affairs, so we have to ask her parents." The face of the Queen Mother, the concubine looked at it and thought it was true. It's just that the Queen Mother looked at the words of the concubine, but as for whether she listened to it in her heart or not, the concubine didn't know. ”

In the palace, whether it is the emperor, the queen, or the queen mother, the parents of both parties are summoned into the palace to ask if there is any intention to get married.

Under normal circumstances, as long as the three lords mentioned who they would give marriage, if both men and women have not yet made a marriage contract, or if there are other unexpected circumstances, the elders of both parties can only do it for them.

This is called "respecting the will".

The Queen Mother asked them about the five girls who were promised to be married to the King of Qin, what did they think?

This is called "inquiry" if it sounds good, but it is simply a direct notification to you.

No matter what you think in your heart, whether you are willing to marry this family business or not, when the time comes, when the decree or the holy decree is issued, who can really resist the decree?

It's not that the old birthday star hanged himself, and he was impatient.

Jiang sighed for a while, and when he saw that Chi Zhongli was also frowning, he also asked him again, "Look, is there a possibility that this marriage will not work out now?" ”

Ji Zhongli didn't speak at first, but then shook his head in the Jiang family's ardent anticipation.

Said one word, "Difficult." ”

While pulling the Jiang family over and hugging him in his arms, he also breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "According to you, the Queen Mother has already made up her mind in her heart. This time I called you into the palace, and I just informed you. Then there is no possibility of reversal......"

He sighed rather frustratedly, "It's just King Qin...... Weifu thinks that King Qin is a human being, although he will not punish the six relatives as the outside public opinion says. It's just that the bloody qi in his hands is heavier. And he is a martial artist who leads troops to fight all the year round, if the five girls follow him......"

Ji Zhongli was speechless with a headache.

I have to admit that after the contact at the wedding banquet of Mu Changyao of the Anguo Mansion, and after he won the Huiyuan and the champion, the King of Qin sent two congratulatory gifts that were very in line with his heart, and Chi Zhongli's evaluation of the King of Qin was very high.

It's just that although he also thinks that King Qin is a little colder, and some people are not close, he is very decent; In addition, at a young age, he was in charge of an army of 500,000 people, and he ran the Qin Wangfu impressively, and this person should also be called a young and promising young man, a young man.

However, no matter how amazing King Qin is, this person's methods of doing things are ruthless and ruthless, and they are intimidating.

Five girls and a delicate and soft little girl, if they marry such a Qin king......

Chi Zhongli sighed helplessly again, no matter how you look at the two, they don't match.

Besides, King Qin still has such a murderous reputation, and now he really takes it seriously because of him, and five noble girls have died. This thing......

Chi Zhongli couldn't say anything for a while, Jiang and Chi Zhongli have been husband and wife for more than ten years, the two have always had the same heart, how can they not understand what their husband is thinking now?

Jiang also sighed, "If it weren't for King Qin having such a bad reputation, and now the Qin Palace's mansion is on the cusp, I'm afraid that no matter what, the Queen Mother wouldn't have thought of marrying the five girls to King Qin." ”

He also said: "The Queen Mother said that she took a fancy to the appearance and character of the five girls, and looked at it as a concubine, the Queen Mother was afraid that she had taken a fancy to the five girls' blessings." They, I'm afraid, are still calculating, wanting to make the good fortune of the five girls and the evil spirit on the King of Qin. ”

I don't know whether to be happy or sad and sighed, "Now the concubine doesn't know, is it a blessing or a curse for her to withdraw the family affairs between the five girls and Mu Changyao earlier?" ”

"If the five girls have not quit their marriage with Mu Changyao so far, or if the concubine can be patient, she will go to the Anguo Mansion to withdraw her relatives later, maybe, it will not be the turn of the five girls to marry King Qin now."

Jiang was a little unhappy, not knowing whether he had done a sin or a blessing; I don't know, if she retired Chi Linglong and Mu Changyao's family affairs before, is it good or bad for her?

Jiang also frowned, and began to ramble in reverie again.

At this time, Chi Zhongli hugged her slightly slumped body, imprinted a kiss on Jiang's fragrant hair, and said: "What has happened, it is useless to be sentimental." Besides, it is not clear whether the king of Qin will be a good husband; But if the five girls marry into the Anguo Mansion, the designation will not end well. ”

He also said: "You are the aunt of the five girls, not her mother-in-law, do this for her wholeheartedly, if the five girls will complain about you later, my third uncle will not depend on her." ”

When Chi Zhongli's words fell, Jiang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Gently patted Chi Zhongli's chest in annoyance, and Jiang Shi also said, "What kind of meat are you talking about?" ”

Chi Zhongli appeased the Jiang family, and then said: "We can't change the mind of the Queen Mother, and now, we can only hope that Your Majesty and King Qin can refuse this matter." ”

"His Majesty and King Qin?"

"Hmm." Chi Zhongli sighed lightly, picked up some inconsequential things, and revealed them to the Jiang family, "The five girls are the concubines of the Marquis of Zhongyong after all. The eldest brother has 300,000 Yizhou naval troops in his hands, and the king of Qin has 500,000 Longxi military horses in his hands. 陛xià...... I don't want the King of Qin to take advantage of this to become bigger, or the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion to climb to the Qin Palace, and the power is even better. ”

Pondering the words again, he said: "As for King Qin, for the sake of his husband, King Qin is not a fool, let alone a person who will be at the mercy of others. The Queen Mother wants to give the five girls to the King of Qin, with the arrogance of the King of Qin, no matter what, she will not accept the five girls and a concubine. What's more, the five girls have also retired from the ......"

Chi Zhongli recounted carefully, Jiang listened carefully, and when he heard Chi Zhongli say that His Majesty would become bigger because he was worried about the marriage of the Qin Wangfu and the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, and they might persuade the Empress Dowager to cancel their intentions, a thought suddenly flashed in Jiang's mind - if His Majesty agreed to give marriage, it would not necessarily be that the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion and the Qin Wangfu would become bigger because of this.

If...... Linglong's girl, an accident,...... was also "ke" to death by King Qin?

Isn't the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong a feud with the Mansion of the King of Qin, and isn't His Majesty just taking advantage of the fisherman?

This......

Well, Jiang felt that her idea was simply too unreliable.

As soon as Emperor Hongyuan ascended the throne, he began to suppress the family intentionally or unintentionally, reducing the power of the family lords, he was too busy disrupting the marriage of the family, how could he sit back and watch the marriage of the Marquis of Zhongyong and the palace of the Qin prince?

Probably not.

Jiang listened to Chi Zhongli's chatter, and became a little drowsy.

She lay peacefully in Chi Zhongli's arms, and the nerves that had been tense for a day were soothed, and after a while, her breathing was even.

The Jiang family, who was asleep, didn't see that at this moment, Chi Zhongli's eyes were as deep as a dark cloud.

If His Majesty really agreed to the marriage between the Marquis of Zhongyong and the Mansion of the King of Qin, the five girls would be in danger......

……

The night passed in the blink of an eye, and when the sky was bright, the Jiang family got up to take care of the housework.

It's just that this seems to be exactly the same as thousands of days in the past, peaceful and leisurely, and even full of warm mornings, which made Jiang inexplicably feel a little frightened.

Chi Zhongli is now just a compilation of the Hanlin Academy, and he only needs to go to the Hanlin Academy on time every day, and he does not need to go to the court.

Therefore, the breakfast in Chifu is still the same as usual, and the family eats together.

Jiang was uneasy, and always felt that something was going to happen today.

She frowned slightly, drank barley, red dates and lotus seed porridge, and held the spoon with her right hand, but she couldn't help but tremble faintly.

Several people at the table all looked at the Jiang family, and Chi Zhongli said funny, "What's wrong with you, but your body is ......" uncomfortable.

Before the last two words could be spoken, a crisp sound of "pop" was heard.

When everyone looked down in unison, they found that the spoon in Jiang's hand had been shattered.

"I, I don't know how to ......"

Jiang frowned, annoyed and wanted to say something.

It's just that before the words of explanation could be spoken, the Jiang family couldn't control it anymore, and reached out to cover his chest.

Now her heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of her throat.

Jiang said "how" and "how", but he didn't know how to say the next words.

And at this time, there was the sound of Qiu Tong's hurried footsteps outside.

Without waiting for the Jiang family to ask her, "What's the alarm", Qiu Tong only had time to say, "Madam, someone is in the palace." ”

In the silence of the room, there was a high-pitched and sharp singing harmony outside—

"The Divine Decree has arrived! ……”

"Holy ...... Divine decree? Chi Mingxuan was the first to tremble, and the spoon in his hand also fell to the ground with a "click".

"Quick, don't rush to clean it up."

Jiang hurriedly stood up, and then hurriedly ordered Xiangling Vanilla, who was waiting for Chi Mingxuan, as well as the nurses of Jue Ge'er and Brother Lin, "Hurry up and take your master back to the room and change his clothes before coming out." ”

Looking at it again, Chi Zhongli, who was wearing an official uniform, said, "Xianggong, you go to the front to entertain first, and the concubine will come out after going back and changing her makeup." ”

Not long after Chi Zhongli went to serve in the Hanlin Academy, the Jiang family's Liupin'an people's edict also came down.

Perhaps for the sake of Jiang Ge's face, the Jiang family's edict was not issued after January, but it was sent two days ago. Now, since you want to receive the holy decree, you naturally have to wear the garment of the command.

It's just that when Jiang thought about the meaning of today's holy decree that might be directed, he couldn't help but be a little impetuous.

The five girls are still in the Shadow Plum Nunnery......

Chi Zhongli nodded, and after rinsing his mouth, he also hurriedly went out to "entertain guests".

And when the Jiang family changed his clothes and returned to the front yard with Chi Mingxuan, Jue Ge'er and Lin Ge'er, he was shocked to find that the five girls, Chi Linglong, had come back from Yingmei Nunnery without knowing when.

"Everyone, right? Then hurry up and take the order. Xu An's father-in-law, who was beside Emperor Hongyuan, said with a smile.

Jiang and Chi Zhongli, Chi Linglong and others all knelt down.

Father-in-law Xu An nodded with satisfaction, and unfolded the bright yellow holy decree in his hand.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, I heard that Chi Linglong, the daughter of the loyal and brave Marquis Chi Zhongyuan, is respectful and sensitive, shows off her wisdom, has a dignified appearance, and has filial piety,...... Today, I will marry and become the heir of King Qin as a concubine, and choose a good day to complete the marriage, and give it to you!! ”R1152
