Chapter 167: Picking a daughter-in-law
A few days later, Wan Zhaoyi lost her temper in the palace: "What's the matter, my son, I can't pick a daughter-in-law myself?" Let the queen's slut pick a daughter-in-law for me, can this pick a good one for me? must give me a bad one, so that my emperor can't get any help from his wife and family, and she is willing. ”
Wan Zhaoyi's eldest palace maid thrush said: "Niangniang is angry, this is the emperor's will, can't we say anything at this time?" ”
Wan Zhaoyi said angrily: "Hmph, I don't know what they have in mind, this is to take advantage of the fact that my emperor is not in the capital, so they can manipulate us." No, I'm going to the emperor. ”
The thrush was shocked, quickly knelt down, and said: "Don't do it, if you go to the emperor, the emperor will definitely punish the mother." ”
Wan Zhaoyi has always been arrogant, she didn't pay attention to the thrush at all, and walked out with her neck straight.
The thrush was so angry that she gritted her teeth and followed.
Wan Zhaoyi went to the emperor's Qianqing Palace, made a big fuss with the emperor, and made the emperor angry, and in the end, the emperor was furious and ordered Wan Zhaoyi to be pulled out and locked in her own bedroom and grounded again.
In the queen's Fengyi Palace, the queen was very happy: "Hmph, although the third child went out for disaster relief and got a big face, the marriage fell into my hands." Now, looking at the palace, I must find a very suitable princess for the third child. ”
After saying that, he burst out laughing.
The palace maid on the side said with a smile: "Niangniang, now, we should find a stunning choice for the three princes, and we should also vote for the three princes, find a girl from a scholarly family, isn't this exactly the virtuous and virtuous lady who meets the emperor's requirements?" The most important thing is to be beautiful, so that no one will say that the mother is eccentric. What does Wan Zhaoyi want to say, Niangniang can say that the princess she found for the third prince is the most beautiful of all the princesses, what else do you want? Do you want fairies in the sky? “
At this time, the queen became happy: "Yes, that's it." Chunxi, you have a good idea, this palace wants to make the three princes deflated this time, and you have to praise the virtuous mother of this palace. You go now, you must find the most beautiful one. “
Chunxi hurriedly agreed.
In less than three days, Chunxi found the daughter of a six-grade Xiaojing official, who was beautiful and a little more glamorous than Wan Zhaoyi back then.
The queen hurriedly made an order to let this girl enter the palace, and at first glance, the queen was very satisfied, this girl was born in a small door. In addition to being pretty. I can't take it at all. Those who shrank back are very afraid, and those who are afraid can't even say a word clearly, the more so. The more satisfied the queen was, she gave the girl a little reward, and went to the emperor to get her life back.
When I told the emperor, I deliberately emphasized that the girl's appearance was the most beautiful I had ever seen, and it took a long time to describe how amazing the girl's beauty was. And he was born in a scholarly family, very gentle and demure. A whole bunch of beautiful words were used.
The emperor was very happy, but he was a little suspicious of why the queen was so virtuous this time. I sent someone to see the girl, and when she came back, she said that she was indeed amazingly beautiful. Now the emperor was happy, thinking in his heart, the queen is the queen after all, the mother of the country. It's still decent in this matter. And he decreed that the marriage was approved.
As soon as the decree was issued, the whole world knew about it, and the Ministry of Rites began to prepare for it.
At this time, the queen, who succeeded in her treacherous scheme, pursued the victory and told the emperor to give the prince a few good deeds. The emperor was in a good mood, and immediately approved it, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare as well.
The queen took the opportunity to choose four Liangdi for the prince, one is Chen Wenyuan, and the other three are the daughters of the Li family, one is the daughter of the Bai family, and one is the daughter of the Wang family.
As soon as the news reached Zhong Cui Palace, the concubine became angry and said: "Hmph, the queen really doesn't stop, seeing that our Chen family supports the four princes, she will marry the prince Liangdi, and strive for the support of the Li family, the Wang family and the Bai family." Hmph, I'll have to give her something to see. ”
After saying that, he went to the emperor and talked about the topic of thrift. This is what the emperor likes to hear the most, and he immediately approved the construction of the concubine.
In this way, the concubine naturally streamlined the wedding of the third prince, and the prince married Liangdi. Not to mention this, it was also deliberately reduced by half in the queen's palace and the palace of the palace concubines. Of course, in order to show justice, she took the lead in reducing more than half of her own, more than the queen. In this way, there were many people in the palace who planned to go to the emperor to complain, but when they saw this posture, they had to stop fighting.
All of a sudden, the daily expenses in the palace dropped a lot, the emperor was very happy, and specially praised Chen Guifei, Wan Zhaoyi on the side, and the queen hated itchy.
The third prince was busy with disaster relief, and suddenly heard that his marriage was decided, and he was actually a six-grade petty official, and he was angry, but the Confucians around him were very happy, because this girl was a girl from a scholar's family, and it was most in line with the thoughts of the Confucians. They all congratulated the three princes, and the three princes couldn't get angry, and they almost suffocated their internal injuries. Fortunately, I heard that this girl is a stunner, and it made the third prince feel more comfortable.
In the palace of Jin County, the princess of the county, Chen Wenfeng, and her henchmen, Yu Li, and Hongxing spoke: "The marriage of the three princes has been decided. ”
Yu Li said: "Princess, I heard that this future third princess is very good-looking, even more beautiful than Wan Guifei back then, it is really the best in the capital." ”
Chen Wenfeng smiled: "Being a princess is not enough to be beautiful. ”
Yu Li smiled and said: "Of course, among these princesses, there are a few like our princesses, beautiful, capable, virtuous and virtuous, it is really the first one." ”
Chen Wenfeng smiled: "You dead girl, you still make fun of me, it's really time for Mama to discipline and discipline." ”
Yu Li stretched out her little tongue and said: "Princess, don't call her grandma, I'm most afraid of her, it's the palace rules at every turn, and she's scared to death." However, what I said was true. Although the third princess is the most beautiful, the family is not good, and her father is just a six-rank small Beijing official. Moreover, I heard that this third princess is still illiterate. ”
At this moment, Chen Wenfeng was surprised: "How is it possible, the royal daughter-in-law, how can there be illiterate?" ”
Yu Li said: "Really, I heard that this third princess and her father are rotten Confucians, who believe in the rules of Confucianism, saying that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, so she does not let her daughter know how to read." ”
Chen Wenfeng was dumbfounded: "This is really the first copy of our Great Chu Dynasty, and there is actually an illiterate princess." The queen's trick is really vicious, it looks like she is very virtuous and has found a princess who is a scholar and the first in appearance. In fact, it was a joke, it couldn't help the three princes at all, and it made the three princes a laughing stock. After that, when we had a banquet, the ladies and ladies all sat together, and this illiterate person didn't make jokes? ”
Yu Li grinned: "Isn't it?" ”
Chen Wenfeng thought for a while and said: "Compared with my aunt, I am still far behind, you look at other people's methods, you don't need to use yourself, and then the queen's hand will solve the threat of the three princes for the prince, which is really clever." ”
Only then did Hongxing and Yuli figure it out. Oh, yes. These three princes still want to compete for the throne. Can the emperor let a woman who can't read a big word be the future queen mother of the world? Isn't this just a denial of the opportunity of the three princes? Of course, that's the best. Because it's good for the prince of his own family, he has solved another opponent.
Chen Wenfeng said with a smile: "Poor third prince, he is still working hard in the east for disaster relief, how do you know that even if he looks good." No matter how many umbrellas there are, but the princess can't do it, it's in vain. My aunt is so unfathomable. ”
Yu Li said again: "But the prince is going to marry the prince Liangdi again." This time, there are not only two girls, but also the daughters of the Li family, the Wang family, and the Bai family. ”
Chen Wenfeng frowned and said, "Hmph, this is not easy to do. I can only act at the opportunity. If the prince and these good ladies are allowed to get the help of their family, the prince's power will rise greatly, and our prince will be like the third prince. ”
Yuli and Hongxing were in a hurry. At this time, Hongxing said: "Princess." In my opinion, we should take advantage of the fact that the second girl has not yet gone out, and ask the second girl to help, and think of making the prince's backyard unstable, so that those girls who come out of the prince can't become the prince's help, isn't it? ”
Chen Wenfeng's heart moved: "Yes." Hongxing is right, Wen Yuan has eaten the Chen family for so many years, and it is time to contribute to the Chen family. Aunt Cai's death in the previous paragraph made Wen Yuan stop for so long, it seems that she was scared enough, and it was time to appease. ”
After thinking about it, Chen Wenfeng said to Hongxing: "My mother is unclear, seeing that Aunt Cai is gone, she will definitely not prepare any dowry for Wen Yuan." She was originally a concubine, the lowest born among the four good women, and if the dowry was small, she would have no status. As her sister and princess, I naturally want to help and add makeup. ”
Red apricots will know. Chen Wenfeng said again: "Hongxing, you bring the booklet from the warehouse, I'll take a look, how to buy a few good-looking, generous, and decent things for Wen Yuan, this is a face." ”
Hongxing hurriedly got up and went to get the booklet.
Chen Wenfeng said to Yu Li again: "Yu Li, you want to have a good relationship with Wen Yuan's big girl Cuizhu and Zimei, go and bring those small jewelry, give them some sweetness, and let them be used by you." ”
Yu Li thought about it and said: "Princess, I remember that Cuizhu and Zimei are both born in the family, wouldn't it be good for us to find a way to ask their mother?" They are not happy in the palace, and they may be happy to come to our palace. ”
Chen Wenfeng said: "Well, you have a good idea. So be it. I want to have a few subordinates, but my grandmother still gives me face. ”
Within two days, Chen Wenfeng went back to Chen's house, first talked to his grandmother Li for a long time, and then talked to his mother for a while, and then went to his sister Wenyuan's room and talked cordially.
Wen Yuan was already frightened, seeing that her sister was so good to herself, not only was she kind, but she also gave herself a lot of good things, including high-quality head jewelry, and a lot of high-quality silk, saying that she was adding makeup to herself, and she was immediately moved. I forgot all about the previous unhappiness, and I only thought that after marrying into the prince's mansion in the future, my sister who was also in the royal family would be my backer.
Chen Wenfeng wanted this effect, left satisfied, and took a few servants with him after leaving, this is a trivial matter, and it didn't attract anyone's attention, after all, it is normal for a married girl to go back to her parents' house to ask for a few subordinates.
