Chapter 161: Scheming
Empress Ye and Ye's words really attracted the emperor's attention: "Yuan Zhao is going to get married?" ”
The crown prince and the king of Chu were also attracted to this topic.
Especially the prince, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in his heart. is such a gentle and beautiful girl, no wonder Chen Yuanzhao will move the mind of getting married. It's a pity, it's a pity, he is one step later than Chen Yuanzhao
Ye Shi showed a slightly helpless wry smile: "The courtiers should not talk about these family affairs in front of the mother and the emperor, and the mother and the emperor are also worried." But the courtiers had only one son, and they were worried about his life's affairs all day long. Now he finally has a girl he likes, but Grandpa Guo dislikes the other party's family background and refuses to agree to this family business! ”
I see!
No wonder the Ye family is extra cooperative today, it turns out that he is asking for himself.
Empress Ye thought quietly, and asked with concern on her face, "Oh? There are such things. Which family's daughter did Yuan Zhao fall in love with? ”
Ye Shi quickly glanced at the emperor before replying: "It's the cousin girl of the Weining Marquis Mansion, the second lady of the Xu family." Her father's name is Xu Han, who once served as the Tongzhi of Lin'an, and died of illness three years ago. Now there are widows and brothers left in the family, and this year the elder brother wants to participate in the autumn festival, so he lived in the capital in advance. ”
Empress Ye thought for a moment and said slowly: "Speaking of which, the Xu family's family background is indeed lower, and it is no wonder that An Guogong is unwilling to agree to this family business." With Yuan Zhao's appearance, character and family background, there is no problem with what kind of famous daughter he wants to marry. How can the daughter of a mere fifth-grade official be worthy of Yuan Zhao? ”
This is a family affair of the Anguo Mansion, and Queen Ye and the Ye family are sisters. It doesn't hurt to gossip. On the contrary, it is inconvenient for the emperor to interject at will.
However, the emperor seemed to be quite interested in this matter and listened attentively.
Out of the corner of his eye, Ye noticed the emperor's expression. was secretly happy in his heart, but there was a wry smile on his face: "Grandpa Guo also means this, saying that he wants to pick another famous daughter who is the right person." But Yuan Zhao didn't want to marry the girl, and he had a dispute with the grandfather of the country because of this, and even did not hesitate to give up the position of the son."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and subconsciously looked at Chen Yuanzhao.
I really can't see that Chen Yuanzhao still has this perseverance and determination! For the sake of a woman, he gave up the position of the prince of Anguo!
The more cold and cold the person. The more you are emotional, the more you don't care about it!
The prince grinned at Chen Yuanzhao: "Yuanzhao, you are really a blockbuster if you don't make a sound, and I can be regarded as a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade on weekdays." It's better to sigh than you! ”
The word filial piety weighs more than 1,000 catties, which is enough to suppress people who can't raise their heads. Chen Yuanzhao actually had a dispute with his father for Xu Jinyu, if this matter spreads. I don't know how much attention it will cause.
King Chu couldn't help laughing and said, "I really can't see that my cousin is actually a man of temperament." ”
Queen Ye said angrily: "Okay." You two don't mess around. This is no small matter. If An Guogong insists on refusal, Yuan Zhao still insists on marrying Miss Xu, which is unfilial. To say that to give up the position of the son of the world is even more nonsense. If it is known by those officials and imperial historians who have nothing to do, it is strange that they will not be impeached. ”
Ye's eyes turned red, and his eyes seemed to glow: "Niangniang's words can be regarded as in my heart." I was looking forward to Yuan Zhao marrying a wife and having children as soon as possible, but I didn't expect that there would be branches. Now that I'm in such a situation, I'm a woman, and I don't know what to do. ”
Beauty with tears. It's touching and pitiful.
The emperor couldn't help but glance at Ye: "Don't worry. There is always a solution to this matter. In the final analysis, it is Yuan Zhao who marries his relatives, and it is understandable that he wants to marry someone he likes. An Guogong's view is inevitably too biased. ”
Listening to these words, the eccentricity could not be more obvious.
Ye Shi thanked him with a grateful face: "The courtiers have thanked the emperor." ”
Then, finally, there was a chance to look at each other.
Looking at those tender eyes, the emperor's heart fluttered for a while, and he blurted out a sentence of "Don't worry about my decree to give marriage".
Empress Ye seemed to see the emperor's thoughts, coughed and said: "Whether this family business is successful or not depends on the meaning of An Guogong." After all, this is a family affair of the Anguo Mansion, and the palace interferes without authorization, for fear that it will attract criticism. ”
As a queen, it is inconvenient to meddle in her sister's family affairs.
As the emperor, of course, it is even more inconvenient to meddle in the family affairs of the courtiers!
The emperor was reminded by Queen Ye, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth. But I couldn't help but feel a little regretful and depressed in my heart, and I became more and more dissatisfied with An Guogong.
Chen Yuanzhao will marry whoever he likes, what is An Guogong's intention to obstruct in every way?
"That's what the mother said." Ye's voice revealed a bit of weakness and helplessness: "When I talked about this, I also felt it for a while, and I didn't use this to embarrass Niangniang, please rest assured." ”
When the emperor heard this, his heart was quite uncomfortable, and his face couldn't help but show a little bit.
Queen Ye saw it in her eyes, so she had to change her tone: "Sister, don't worry." The matter is not without room for discussion. An Guogong also considered Yuan Zhao, so he refused to agree. As long as An Guogong is convinced, this family business will naturally come to fruition. ”
Ye Shiqiang cheered himself up and squeezed out a smile: "Thank you Niangniang for your relief, after I return home, I will discuss it slowly with Grandpa Guo." ”
Queen Ye smiled and comforted: "Sister doesn't have to be anxious, how can a father not cherish his son." No matter how reluctant An Guogong is, he can't resist Yuan Zhao if he wants to, and sooner or later he will nod. ”
This is not a big thing at first glance, but it is meaningful.
Especially the sentence "How can a father not cherish his son", like a thorn, piercing people's hearts for a while.
Ye secretly gritted his teeth and subconsciously glanced at Chen Yuanzhao. Just in time to meet Chen Yuanzhao's cold and sarcastic gaze, Ye's heart jumped suddenly, and he didn't dare to look at him, so he quickly looked away.
When the emperor heard Queen Ye's words, he seemed to be a little touched, and suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Queen, you make a phoenix decree to marry Yuan Zhao." ”
Ye's eyes lit up, and he was about to thank him.
Queen Ye unexpectedly objected: "Your Majesty, if Duke An Guo agrees to this family affair, the concubine's decree is the icing on the cake, and it can also achieve a happy marriage." But now An Guogong has made it clear that he is unwilling, and it will be very inappropriate for the concubine to make a phoenix decree again. An Guogong naturally can't resist the order, and he must be very unhappy in his heart, even if Miss Xu marries into the Anguo Mansion in the future, it is inevitable that there will be estrangement in his heart. After a long time, the family has left their hearts, isn't it a pity? Only when the family business is harmonious can it prosper, and the emperor naturally understands this truth better than his concubines. ”
The emperor was dumbfounded.
I have to say that Queen Ye is really eloquent, and her words are methodical and reasonable, and no one can find faults. Even the emperor couldn't blame anything.
But reason is one thing, feelings are another.
For some unknown secret reasons, the emperor wanted to support Ye's mother and son.
It is the duty of the queen to give marriage and this kind of thing, the emperor is the son of heaven, and his words and deeds have attracted everyone's attention, of course, he can't do things that don't conform to the etiquette and law. At this time, Empress Ye should take care of the matter and arrange it well
For so many years in the past, Queen Ye was virtuous and decent, what is going on today?
The emperor was unhappy, but it was not easy to show it, and he nodded lightly: "The queen is careful and thoughtful. It is indeed inappropriate to give marriage directly. ”
Ye secretly gritted his teeth.
Over the years, she and An Guogong and his wife have been strangers and have long since left their hearts. No matter which family's daughter Chen Yuanzhao marries, An Guogong will not be happy, the so-called family business harmony is a complete joke.
It's impossible for Queen Ye not to know this, and now it's obvious that she is deliberately blocking her!
There is a request for others, and I have to bow my head.
Even if the Ye family was full of resentment, he could only swallow his anger and respond softly: "Niangniang's words make sense, marriage is not a trivial matter, and you should really be cautious." ”
Queen Ye smiled calmly, showing the queen's graceful demeanor: "It's good that my sister can understand my difficulties." Since this is a family matter, my sister might as well discuss it slowly with An Guogong. If An Guogong has been refusing to nod, it will not be too late for my sister to come to me again. ”
These words are high-sounding, and even the emperor can't find fault with it.
Ye swallowed all the sulkness and responded with a smile.
The party Chen Yuanzhao seemed to be extremely calm.
Ye and Queen Ye are fighting, he doesn't need to mix. He knew very well that Ye's temperament was under the influence of the Feng Decree, and since he had the idea of giving marriage to the Phoenix Decree, there was a chance that this Phoenix Decree would not be able to run
The emperor had a bunch of government affairs that had not yet been dealt with, and after sitting for a while, he returned to the Chongzheng Palace.
The father and son of the heavenly family are far different from ordinary ordinary families. The emperor was first the temperamental son of heaven who held the power of life and death, and then his husband and father. With the emperor here, no one can relax.
After sending off the emperor, the atmosphere eased a lot.
Empress Ye's eyes flashed slightly, and she said with a smile: "My sister and I are alone to say something considerate, you juniors can speak on your own here!" ”
The prince and others responded together.
Empress Ye stood up. Ye also had the idea of "communicating" with Queen Ye alone, got up with a smile, and went to the inner room with Queen Ye to talk.
After arriving at the dormitory, Queen Ye retired all the palace maids.
The two sisters sat opposite each other, you look at me and I look at you, neither of them was in a hurry to speak, as if they were more patient than the other.
In the end, it was the Ye family who asked for something, and the first to lose his breath and open his mouth to break the silence: "What I ask for is just a phoenix decree for marriage." It's just a gesture for the mother. Why bother with all kinds of difficulties. ”
Without outsiders present, Queen Ye didn't bother to pretend to be any sisterhood, her eyes flashed with coldness, and she looked at Ye with a smile: "A phoenix decree for marriage is indeed easy for me." But I can't think of any reason to help you this time. Why don't you think about it carefully and tell me about it? (To be continued......)
PS: The two sisters have a deep grudge~
