At the same time that the emperor descended on Kunning Palace, in Qu Shuibo's mansion, Mrs. Qu Shuibo was also having a separate conversation with her son Xie Xiangfei.

Mrs. Qu Shuibo met several famous ladies at the queen's place today, and she already had some ideas in her heart, but she planned to ask her son what she meant first, so she slowly told Xie Xiangfei about the matter.

When Xie Xiangfei heard this, he said disapprovingly: "Sister, what are you doing?" My marriage, the emperor has already said that he will be in charge, why should my sister be troubled? She just reconciled with the emperor, if there is any misunderstanding with the emperor because of my business, wouldn't it be my fault?! ”

Mrs. Qu Shuibo hurriedly said: "Good boy, don't worry, since your sister said so, she naturally has her certainty." Besides, she doesn't want to make decisions about your marriage match, but she just wants me to see the person first, which one I like, and then mention it to the emperor. If the emperor is willing, you can marry like a flower, and if the emperor is not happy, it doesn't matter. The news will not be leaked, those girls don't know about it, and your reputation will not be affected. ”

Xie Xiangfei is not as naïve as his mother and sister: "How can things be so simple? If the elder sister has a sufficient reason to invite the courtier's family and the ladies into the palace for tea regardless of rank and age, and the mother brings a few aunts and sisters into it, so that no one can see the clues, and it can probably explain the past. Now my sister only invited a few ladies of the same age as me, and did not call their elders, and only my mother was the only one to accompany her. Even if the girls themselves didn't notice it, they went back and told their families. Can't their elders guess the intentions of their sister and mother? If there is a marriage, it is said in private that it will be successful or not. Be willing to be with one another. Without saying hello, she called several girls over together, as if she was picking fat and thin, and her mother was not afraid that the elders of those girls would be displeased? Besides, although our Qushui Bofu is noble and descendant, it is not noble in the court, and these high-ranking officials and eunuchs may not be able to look down on me. ”

In Mrs. Qu Shuibo's heart, her son is naturally the best: "Nonsense." What's wrong with you? What's wrong with our Qushui Bofu? Why don't they look down on you? Although your sister offended the Queen Mother and the Emperor a few days ago, it has rained now, let's talk about it. There are also two princes here. ”

Xie Xiangfei smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Mother thinks too well. Not to mention anything else, among the ladies who were summoned into the palace by my sister, there are still younger sisters in the family, who are about the same age as the emperor's eldest son. The family also intends to seek the position of the eldest princess for them. The son is the uncle of the eldest son of the emperor. If the eldest sister marries me, how can the younger sister match the eldest son of the emperor? Marrying me means giving up the road to Qingyun, which family would do such a stupid thing? ”

Mrs. Qu Shuibo woke up like a dream, why did she forget this?! It is true that those families are indeed the emperor's trusted ministers, and they are not keen on sending women to the palace, after all, the emperor is the object of their allegiance, and the emperor has no intention of taking concubines. They will definitely not displease the emperor if they are aware of their intentions. But the emperor didn't say that they were not allowed to plot the position of the emperor's eldest concubine. Therefore, families with school-age daughters naturally have to work in secret. The significance of the position of the eldest princess of the emperor is important, which means that the future crown princess and even the empress, and even the biological mother of the next emperor. In comparison, what is the queen's younger brother? No matter how good and excellent Xie Xiangfei is, it is impossible for them to bring the same wealth and honor to their daughter.

Mrs. Qu Shuibo was a little frustrated, but quickly cheered up again: "Not every family has a woman who can choose the eldest princess of the emperor, and the daughters of those families can always match you." She cited several examples, including Zhao Xiu.

Xie Xiangfei didn't care about the others, but as soon as he heard the words "the eldest girl of Jiannanhou Mansion", he paused: "Jiannanhou Mansion? ”

Mrs. Qu Shuibo was about to list them further, but when she heard her son specially point out Zhao Xiu, she nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, Jiannanhou's sister-in-law is about thirteen years old this year, right?" He was born very delicately, his temperament was stable, and his education was good. However......" she recalled Zhao Xiu's expression at the tea party, "may have been a little colder." Mrs. Qu Shuibo could vaguely detect that Zhao Xiu was not enthusiastic about the queen and her. The queen once said that Zhao Xiu was good, but Mrs. Qu Shuibo herself had some ideas, thinking that she was too young and not her favorite daughter-in-law candidate, so she didn't care too much.

But Xie Xiangfei noticed Zhao Xiu alone among a bunch of beautiful surnames. This made Mrs. Qu Shuibo can't help but change her words: "Has Brother Xiang'er seen Miss Zhao?" If you like it, then hire her to make it. I thought that her family was weak and might not be a good candidate. But your sister is very optimistic about her, saying that she can speak well in front of the Queen Mother, the Emperor and the King of Guangping, and she should be able to help our family. If you're satisfied, that's great. It doesn't matter how old the age difference is, as long as the family affairs are decided, it will not be too long to marry after three years. ”

Xie Xiangfei was a little ridiculous: "Mother, my son just asked one more question, how did you think that your son likes Miss Zhao?" ”

Mrs. Qu Shuibo asked, "Then you don't like it?" Don't want her to be a daughter-in-law? ”

Xie Xiangfei opened his mouth and hesitated again. He remembered that bright smiling face, and couldn't make up his mind to say "no". Besides, his marriage is really not easy to handle, the population of Jiannanhou Mansion is simple, the door style is positive, Zhao Xiu's grandmother and brother seem to be easy people to get along with, in comparison, it is really an ideal marriage partner. For a while, his heart also warmed up a little.

Mrs. Qu Shuibo smiled when she saw this, and smiled very happily: "Okay." Since you like Miss Zhao, then your mother will go into the palace and tell your sister. You can rest assured, if you change the daughter of other high-ranking officials and eunuchs, your mother may not be able to let you get your wish. Although there are saints in the Nanhou Mansion, they are not high-ranking and powerful people. I don't have anything to find fault with you when I want to come to his house. With the best of both worlds, there will be no problem with marriage. ”

Xie Xiangfei hesitated for a moment before whispering to Mrs. Qu Shuibo: "Please tell my sister that it depends on the meaning of their family." If they don't want to...... It doesn't have to be forced. Marriage should be consensual. ”

Mrs. Qu Shuibo happily agreed, and she was still a little curious: "Have you ever seen the daughter of the Jiannan Hou Mansion?" ”

Xie Xiangfei replied: "When I went to the palace to visit my sister last time, I met her in front of the gate of Kunning Palace and entered the palace with the Duchess of Jiannan County to greet the Queen Mother and her sister, and my son took a picture with her. ”

Mrs. Qu Shuibo couldn't help but smile and said: "I really can't see it, it turns out that our brother Xiang'er is still a lover, and he will fall in love with people at first sight." ”

Xie Xiangfei stood up with an uncomfortable face: "When did my son fall in love with someone at first sight?" Didn't my mother and sister say she was good? The son just thought, anyway, this one has seen me, so he won't know him completely......" but he hid outside the door as he spoke, and Mrs. Qu Shuibo was amused.

Mrs. Qu Shuibo thought that this marriage was nine out of ten, and there was no difficulty. Although the title of the Marquis of Jiannan is higher than that of Qu Shuibo, the Marquis of Jiannan is thin and has just entered the office, and there are no relatives and friends in the court. And Qu Shuibo will be named the Duke of Chengen sooner or later, Xie Xiangfei, as the eldest son of the Xie family, will also be a Marquis of Cheng'en in the future, and the queen and the prince will be behind his back, marrying a daughter of the Hou Mansion is more than enough. Therefore, Mrs. Qu Shuibo was unhurried, and waited until the sixteenth day, when she entered the palace to visit the queen as usual, and then told Xie Xiangfei about Zhao Xiu's liking.

The queen looked shocked and remorseful: "I was wrong! I shouldn't have talked about it that day, let alone the daughter of the Zhao family, now that the matter is not working, it is my fault that my younger brother suffers because of it! ”

Mrs. Qu Shuibo was shocked: "What?!" What did the queen mother say? Why didn't it work out? ”

The queen is going to cry.

On that day, she summoned a few ladies into the palace to speak, and the emperor came that night and asked her bluntly what she wanted. She was truly wronged! She wanted to choose a wife for her younger brother, but it was just to compensate for the delay in his marriage because of a temporary misunderstanding. There is no political involvement!

But the emperor made his words so clear, in order to avoid suspicion, she could only dispel her original idea. But for the sake of her younger brother, she also asked the emperor what he meant. The emperor said that he would choose a suitable lady for Xie Xiangfei as his wife, and would never deliberately humiliate him in marriage, and said that there was already a candidate. The girl's father is also an official in the court, holding real power, her mother is from a family and has an excellent upbringing, and the girl herself is both good and beautiful. It's just that I haven't asked the other party's wishes yet, so I can't make a decision for the time being. When the aftermath of the previous failed Jiang Xie marriage dissipates, it is not too late to mention it.

The queen was relieved at this time, and secretly regretted it, if she hadn't figured out the queen mother's wishes and Jiang Wen's ambitions, ruined the marriage of Jiang Xie's two families, and caused a storm in the city, how could her brother's marriage not be decided as soon as possible?

The emperor did not spend the night in Kunning Palace that night, and left after finishing speaking. Before leaving, he told her one more thing: Zhao Xiu's marriage, he had already made arrangements, so that she didn't mess around with mandarin ducks, but also let the queen not have to worry, Zhao Xiu was not the candidate for the eldest princess in his mind, but another clan.

The queen was relieved when she heard this, and guessed that the person was about Gao Zhen, the prince of Guangping. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have let the emperor warn himself so solemnly not to mismatch the girl who was destined for him. I think that Gao Zhen and Xie Xiangfei are of the same age, and the girls who can match Xie Xiangfei can also marry Gao Zhen. The family background of the Marquis of Jiannan is not very good, but it is close to the Queen Mother and the Royal Mansion, and this family affair is also suitable, and it will not hinder the queen anything. She just felt a little sorry that she had lost a good candidate for her brother and daughter-in-law, and secretly looked forward to it in her heart, with the courtesy of the Jiannan Hou Mansion to her, the queen, maybe Zhao Xiu would be a good nephew and daughter-in-law in the future.

It's a pity that the queen let go of her heart, and Mrs. Qu Shuibo came to tell her that among the people she was optimistic about before, Xie Xiangfei liked Zhao Xiu alone, and she wanted to marry her as a wife. It's going to make her vomit blood!

Her brother's marriage was ruined by her for the first time, and the second time she was provoked, but she could only ask for it. What kind of face will she have to see her brother in the future?! (To be continued......)
