In fact, the emperor himself couldn't figure out why he was in a bad mood.

The concubine candidate that the Queen Mother chose for him, he recognized it, and he had seen people. His appearance may be inferior to that of the queen when she was young, but such a gentle and obedient temperament is his favorite type at the moment. That girl is well-read and well-educated, and her tutor is not bad, but she is not a spoiled girl.

She is the eldest daughter in the family, yes, both parents have it, but the sibling brother at the top has been dead for many years, and the sibling brother at the bottom is only seven years old. It can be imagined how bad she and her mother were at home before her brother was born, but there has never been a rumor of spoiling concubines and killing wives and chaos in her family. Whether it is outsiders or relatives and friends, they all say that her family is very well-behaved, her children respect her mother, and the brothers and sisters in the family are orderly and orderly, and the concubines are distinct. The elder brother of the concubine has never rolled his eyes to the younger brother of the concubine, and he is polite everywhere in trouble; The younger sister of the concubine was hindered by the marriage of the eldest sister, even if she was also of marriageable age, she did not worry about her own marriage first beyond the eldest sister; There are two concubines in the family, one is from a good family, and the other is a room brought up by the girl, and the etiquette in front of the main room has never been missed, and the mother's family is also very honest and never makes trouble. This family is simply a model of the official family of this dynasty.

The housewife of such an exemplary house is naturally not an ordinary woman. And as his beloved only daughter, this girl should be able to get a bit of her mother's true heritage. When the Queen Mother saw her, she was not a stupid person when she saw her words and deeds. I have a better idea.

It is because of her family rules and reputation that the Queen Mother will surpass other candidates with better appearance, better learning, and higher official positions of her father and brother. picked this girl, just because she is well-behaved, can know what to advance and retreat, and will be a concubine in the palace in the future, and she should also know how to deal with the relationship with the queen, the prince and the princess, and not let each other be evil.

Whether it is the queen mother or the emperor. I haven't forgotten the reminder of King Guangping's father and son. Xinna's concubine is useless just to be beautiful and supple, and she has to be a little clever and know how to appease the queen. Preserving oneself is.

It stands to reason that the selection of this new concubine is so in line with the emperor's wishes, and the emperor should be very happy in his heart. He obviously even thought about how this concubine's future title would be determined. Originally, the Queen Mother still wanted to give her the title of "Concubine Shu", but when the Queen Mother was the concubine of the first emperor in the past. It's "Lady Concubine". And King Ying's biological mother Guo is also a "concubine", the emperor does not plan to choose such a title for his own concubine, so he first set the good name of "Duan Concubine", and when she has merit or pregnancy in the future, she will be promoted to "Virtuous Concubine" or "Concubine De". He has thought things so far ahead, what is there in his heart?

But he just felt uncomfortable in his heart!

It is not because the main culprit in the embankment case is unwilling to recruit the remnants of King Ying, that is the norm. Is it because the queen didn't have a relationship with him?

Now the queen lives in the Kunning Palace. It's a lot more honest than before. Although he still sighs day by day, crying that the emperor is treacherous. But it's just crying. She even once said to the eldest son of the emperor who went to visit her that she regretted it, and asked the eldest son of the emperor to say something good for her in front of the emperor, so that the emperor could visit her. The emperor had only been there once, and she cried miserably, as if she really knew repentance. Seeing that the originally arrogant wife had become so pitiful, the emperor was not happy, but for the sake of the emperor's dignity, he did not agree to her request to stop accepting concubines, but also ordered the people in the Kunning Palace to wait for the queen, and the imperial doctor went to take the pulse of peace every day, and the eldest son of the emperor was not allowed to visit his mother. Even the second son of the emperor, who has been under house arrest to study and copy books, has been allowed to see the queen once every three days.

The emperor felt that he was lenient enough, and the empress didn't have anything else, so the deadlock between their husband and wife should be broken, right? I don't know why, the emperor always has a feeling of uncertainty, and he is always worried that the queen will have another incident.

Could it be that because of this, his mood is not good?

The Emperor hesitated for a moment, and decided to test his wife a little. He brought up the marriage of the emperor's eldest son and Li Shanwen again, and the wedding process that was interrupted due to the queen's "illness" began again. The royal dowry was sent to the Li family, and the emperor was very courteous to his future in-laws. At the same time, he paid special attention to the queen's reaction. However, the queen behaved quite calmly, and offered to send her grandmother to the Li family to teach Li Shanwen the rules of palace etiquette, so that after she married the eldest son of the emperor, she could quickly become a competent crown princess of the East Palace.

Does this mean that the queen accepted this daughter-in-law who was originally dissatisfied with her?

The emperor was a little relieved, but he didn't agree to the queen's words to send his grandmother. The queen mother has already prepared people, and this matter does not worry about the queen, lest the queen be unwilling, hide her backhand, and send the grandmother to toss the future eldest princess too badly.

Regarding the obvious distrust of the queen mother and the emperor, the queen is still very quiet, could it be that she really knows to repent?

The emperor sent his confidants to test the queen, and after getting a positive answer, he signaled his mother-in-law, Mrs. Qu Shuibo, to visit her daughter in the palace and test it again.

Facing her biological mother, the queen's answer was a little sour, but her attitude was basically quite calm: "The matter has come to this, what's the use of this palace if it continues to make trouble?" He is determined not to want this palace, his father, mother and younger brother are not on the side of this palace, even Da Lang speaks for him everywhere, and often advises this palace to relax. No matter how sad this palace is, he must always think about the emperors. She also told her family to "take care of themselves" because she would never be able to shelter them again.

Mrs. Qu Shuibo couldn't help but shed tears, her daughter was finally sensible, and the family finally didn't have to worry about her anymore, for fear that she would anger the king again. As long as the daughter is willing to change her mind, with her love with the emperor in the past, there are two princes and a princess here, are you afraid that the emperor will not love the queen again? As for the concubine who is about to enter the palace, she is just a small person, her family background is not obvious, and her appearance is not outstanding, so there is no need for the queen to take people in her eyes. As long as the emperor restores his exclusive favor to the queen, the concubine is just an ornament. It also saves the courtiers from always saying that the queen is jealous and can't tolerate people.

The queen did not make any response to her mother's words, but only asked her lightly: "How is my brother's marriage?" Dragged to the present day. There should be results, right? ”

Mrs. Qu Shuibo hurriedly said: "Yes, the emperor said that he would make the decision for Brother Xiang'er, and the Queen Mother has already made a will." ”

The wife chosen by the Queen Mother for Xie Xiangfei was none other than Cao Luo, which was set as early as the Chinese New Year, and the decree was not issued until now. The daughter of the General Zhuguo Mansion is still the granddaughter of the Fang family. Regardless of appearance, in terms of family background alone, they are all worthy of the son of Qu Shuibo. What's more, this is a royal marriage. As the general of the Zhu State, Cao Tai, and the commander of the forbidden army, the emperor was able to marry his daughter to Xie Xiangfei, which shows that the emperor still trusts and values the Xie family. Therefore, everyone in Qushui Bofu is very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, and has already discussed the marriage date with the Cao family. He also plans to renovate Xie Xiangfei's yard. so that he can make a new house.

When the queen heard that she was the daughter of the Cao family, her brows furrowed at first, and she seemed to be a little dissatisfied.

Seeing this, Mrs. Qu Shuibo hurriedly persuaded her: "I have seen Miss Cao, Swen is kind and smooth, she looks good, she has been reading since she was a child, and she knows how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." Even if there is no will of the Queen Mother, it is a match for Brother Xiang'er. ”

The queen chuckled: "That girl has seen it in this palace." is too shy, and the little family is very angry. There is also an uncle who rebels against the party, so he doesn't have to spoil his younger brother. But since the queen mother is the master, what else can this palace say? I had to grieve my younger brother and accept his fate. She also glanced at Mrs. Qu Shuibo with a rather meaningful look: "The emperor is willing to marry the daughter of the commander of the forbidden army to his younger brother, and he is probably very satisfied with the loyalty of his father and younger brother, right?" ”

Mrs. Qu Shuibo was in a huff, and was about to ask her what she meant, but the queen had already opened the topic: "The weather is so good...... Autumn is a good time to visit the mountains and rivers. The palace can only sit in the Kunning Palace and cannot go out, which is really a pity. ”

Mrs. Qu Shuibo didn't dare to say anything, of course she hoped that the queen would regain her freedom as soon as possible, but this kind of thing was not something she could call the shots. Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, and the Xie family can only obey the emperor's orders.

The queen glanced at her mother, showing a bit of mockery, and said nothing more.

After Mrs. Qu Shuibo saw her daughter, she went to report to the emperor. The emperor was quite satisfied with the results of his trial, and felt that the queen was really going to change this time, and it seemed that she was finally struck down by reality, and knew that things would not go her way, so she came to her senses.

That's fine, as long as the queen doesn't mess around anymore, the emperor looks at the children and their husband and wife for more than ten years, and he doesn't want to really get into trouble with his wife. He also thought in his heart that after the newcomer entered the palace, he could let her go to pay a big salute to the queen, so as to make it clear that she was respectful and humble.

As for Qu Shuibo's family's current affairs, the emperor was also very satisfied. The marriage of the Cao family can be regarded as a reward for the Qushui Bo Xie family. Qu Shuibo was always worried that the queen's status would not be guaranteed, which would affect the throne of the emperor's eldest son and the future of the Xie family. With the commander of the forbidden army as an in-law, it also means that the eldest son of the emperor has received a strong reinforcement, which is enough to prove that the emperor does not have the idea of easy storage, they should be able to feel much more at ease, right?

The emperor said to Mrs. Qu Shuibo with a pleasant face: "Xiangfei's marriage date can be agreed?" He also grew up watching him, and if he wants to get married, I must reward him with some good things. ”

Mrs. Qu Shuibo was a little flattered: "Yes, it's already being discussed, what Uncle means is that it will be good to do things within the year, but the Cao family wants to keep the girl for another year." The jury between the two is still undecided. ”

The emperor smiled: "Cao Taihe loves his daughter, your family also loves his son, let's agree on the marriage date earlier, I also want to see Xiangfei's child born as soon as possible." ”

Mrs. Qu Shuibo went home and told Qu Shuibo about her experience in the palace today, and the latter was relieved, and said with a smile: "Hurry up and discuss the marriage date with the Cao family, and marry Cao Taihe's daughter as soon as possible, so that the eldest son of the emperor can really settle down." ”

Qushui Bofu was anxious to do a happy event, but the Cao family was much calmer. If it weren't for the marriage and the imperial gift, Cao Fang's would definitely not look down on Xie Xiangfei - he was not the scholarly child she liked. However, the matter was a foregone conclusion, and she could only admit it, but she didn't want Qushui Bofu to be too satisfied, so she found various reasons and insisted on keeping her daughter for another year.

Her reason is also very valid, it is now July, and there are less than five months left in the year, and the happy event is too hasty. Cao Luo is the only concubine of Cao Taihe, the general of the Zhu Kingdom, how can she marry casually?

Mrs. Qu Shuibo couldn't help her, so she wanted to start from Mrs. Cao's side. Mrs. Cao knew the opportunity, and avoided the Jiannan Hou Mansion early, and spat out to the Zhang family: "It's really unlucky!" If it weren't for the Queen Mother's will, I wouldn't want to deal with that family anymore. Now that they are in-laws, what if something happens to the noble man in their family one day later, and calls our family? (To be continued......)
