Chapter 538: Palace Gate

Mrs. Zhending Hou took her granddaughter out of the palace gate and got into her own carriage, and the smug smile on her face never disappeared.

The Queen Mother rewarded her granddaughter with a jade sachet, such a delicate jade sachet is much more valuable than jade pendants and sachets, obviously the Queen Mother still likes her granddaughter very much. Although everyone said that the queen mother chose the daughter of the Jiannan Hou Mansion to be the princess of the Guangping Wang, the daughter of the Jiannan Hou Mansion just got a jade sachet. It's the same as her granddaughter, and it's still unknown who will win.

Mrs. Zhending Hou encouraged her granddaughter: "A great future is ahead, work hard!" When we get home, we will ask your mother to give gifts to the eldest princess, and in any case, we must preempt the Jiannan Hou Mansion and set the name of your princess. ”

Zhending Hou Qianjin is powerless against her grandmother, she is not as optimistic as her grandmother. The princess of Guangping made it clear that it would not be her turn. The Queen Mother gave her a jade sachet, which was the same as the daughter of the Jiannan Hou Mansion and the daughter of the Guogong Mansion, maybe she intended to marry her, and the other party was likely to be a clan. This is also a blessing in disguise. Even if the children of other clans are not as noble as the princes of Guangping, they are also rare good matches. Obviously, her good performance in the previous half a year left a good impression on the Queen Mother, even if her grandmother repeatedly lost her manners, the Queen Mother did not mean to be angry with her. Next, she just needs to wait quietly at home for her will, and I hope that her grandmother will not have any more young moths, which will cause her marriage to change again.

Zhending Hou Qianjin secretly thought in her heart that when she returned home, she must tell her father and mother everything that happened in the palace today. Ask them to persuade their grandmother not to do anything superfluous. For today's Zhending Marquis Mansion, it is a rare opportunity to marry the clan.

Mrs. Zhending didn't know what her granddaughter was thinking. happily ordered his coachman to set off, and before he took two steps, he caught a glimpse of the carriage of the eldest princess's mansion in Linyi parked not far in front of the palace gate, obviously after the court meeting was dispersed, the ladies of the eldest princess's mansion did not leave, and were still waiting there, and they didn't know who was waiting. She stopped the carriage. Ordered someone to go to investigate, and after a while, the mother-in-law turned around and reported: "Mrs. Hui." It was Mrs. Ma in the car. ”

Mrs. Zhending Hou suddenly perked up. This Second Lady Ma is a delicate figure, kind and kind. Her granddaughter can get the queen mother's blue eyes, and this second lady Ma is indispensable for saying good things in front of the eldest princess of Linyi. She hurriedly ordered the coachman to drive the carriage over, lifted the curtain and greeted the second lady Ma.

Second Mrs. Ma is actually also concerned about the results of the election of the eldest concubine of the emperor in Cining Palace today. will stay in front of the palace gate and wait for the news - the delicate guest in Cining Palace today. There are also people recommended by her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Su Ri also had a good relationship with Mrs. Zhendinghou, and when she saw the latter's mother-in-law, she also politely said hello, but she knew that this Mrs. was not a person who understood, so she didn't ask much. There are many people who have been summoned to Cining Palace today, and she knows almost all of them, so she doesn't have to worry about having no sources.

But she didn't ask much, it didn't mean that Mrs. Hou could hold it. The latter has long been overjoyed. I can't wait to show off to this hero, not only did I say that the Queen Mother was blue-eyed to her granddaughter. Even the things that were given to the girls were a little different, she said. Which one got the jade sachet, which one got the jade pendant, and which one got the sachet, which one got the sachet, it's not bad.

Second Madam Ma has a seven-trick exquisite heart, and she immediately perceives the information contained in it. She glanced at Zhending Hou Qianjin vaguely, and said with a smile: "In this way, what I said that day was really good, your granddaughter is a great creation, and your old man's blessing is still long." ”

Mrs. Zhending Hou smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth: "I accept your good words." When our girl becomes the princess, please come and drink a glass of thank you. ”

Second Mrs. Ma smiled, noticing that there was no joy on Zhendinghou's face, but a look of shame and indignation, and she wanted to immediately seal her grandmother's mouth. This doesn't look like she's about to become the princess of your dreams.

Second Mrs. Ma knew that Mrs. Zhending Hou was unreliable, so she guessed that most of her plans would fail, but the Queen Mother's reward was clearly placed there. Even if the daughter of the Marquis can't be the princess of Guangping, she should have a good marriage. There is another daughter of the princess, who seems to be a figure that the Queen Mother looks at differently. The two of them, plus the daughter of the Marquis of Jiannan, are likely to marry nobles of similar status. And Miss Jiang Liu and the girl of the Cao family may also have a good marriage. However, the girl of the Ding family and another daughter of the princess, I don't know what the shortcomings are, but they seem to have lost the election.

Second Mrs. Ma couldn't wait to find an insider to inquire immediately, and suddenly looked at the palace gate and a few carriages came out, it seemed that they were the female dependents who were called into Cining Palace today, looking at the grade and style of the carriage decoration, a few cars from the Guogong Mansion left quickly, and the last one should be the car of the Zhuguo General's Mansion. She immediately couldn't bother to greet Mrs. Zhending Hou, and immediately ordered someone to stop the car.

It was indeed Cao Fang's and his daughter Cao Luo who were sitting in the carriage. Cao Fang's family and the second lady of Ma are also familiar with each other, and they heard that the mother-in-law of the latter's family came to stop them, and they lifted the curtain with a smile and was about to speak, but they caught a glimpse of the carriage of the Zhending Marquis Mansion on the side, their faces changed, and they immediately lowered the curtain and said to the mother-in-law of the Ma family: "Sue the second lady of your family, I have already inquired about the matter she asked me to inquire about last time, if she is interested, why don't you follow me to the house for a cup of New Year's tea, and I will tell her in detail." ”

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, every family has something to do, and generally no one goes to someone else's house to eat tea on this day. When the woman heard this, she muttered in her heart, but she still replied truthfully to Mrs. Ma.

When Mrs. Zhending heard this, she joked and said, "How can anyone invite people to come to the door like this?" It's the first day of the Lunar New Year. Does this Mrs. Cao understand the rules? ”

Second Madam Ma glanced at her strangely, knowing that the daughter of the Fang family would never make such a low-level mistake, Cao Fang's family clearly had other reasons to invite her to come over, and she was far away, and refused to come over to talk to her, could it be that she was tabooing the people of the Hou family? Cao Fang's clan had just come out of Cining Palace, and she obviously knew what was going on there, so she had to ask carefully.

Thinking so, she casually said something to prevaricate Mrs. Zhending, but ordered her coachman to turn the head of the car and leave with the Cao family's carriage. Mrs. Zhending Hou felt bored, and snorted coldly and said to her granddaughter, "What does this mean? She usually loves a person who is high and low, knowing that you are about to climb the high branches, why are you still so cold? If she looks down on you and takes advantage of the royal relatives in front of you, even if she is a matchmaker, we will not be able to give her a good face in the future. ”

Zhending Hou Qianjin was lamenting in her heart, and her grandmother didn't know it. Today, she said in the palace that she would marry the daughter of the Marquis of Jiannan for her grandson, violating her mother's previous promise to marry Mrs. Martha. Mrs. Cao is an insider, and she will definitely tell Mrs. SΓΉ Ma about this. Don't talk about Xie Wenjiu at that time, I'm afraid that the two families will have a feud. Why doesn't the Zhending Marquis Mansion give people a good look?

Mrs. Zhending Hou didn't know what her granddaughter was worried about, she was still staring at the direction of the palace gate, and she was a little puzzled: "It's strange, why did everyone come out, and I haven't seen the two ancestors and grandchildren of Jiannanhou Mansion leave the palace?" The Jiang family's carriage didn't leave either. Could it be that they are still in the palace? ”

Zhao Xiu and his grandmother Zhang are indeed still in the palace. The Queen Mother said that she was tired and wanted to rest, and ordered everyone to leave, but in fact, she just didn't want to see idlers again. She really didn't bother to listen to the dumb words of Mrs. Zhending Hou anymore, and she felt that Zhending Hou's daughter was pitiful. But no matter how pitiful she was, she didn't forget to get down to business. The eldest princess of the emperor has already decided on the candidate, and the marriage of Gao Zhen, the prince of Guangping, has not yet been decided. The elder brother has not yet decided to marry, so how can the younger brother marry a daughter-in-law? Therefore, the queen mother specially invited the ancestors and grandchildren of the Zhang family to stay, and went to the warm pavilion in the apse of Cining Palace to drink tea, and the second wife of Jiang and the sixth girl of Jiang were accompanied, and the princess of Fenyang also went over to have fun.

The Zhang family and the Queen Mother are friends, the Fenyang Princess and the Queen Mother are old concubines and have a good relationship, and the mother and daughter of the Jiang family are their own people. This small gathering, compared with the previous big gatherings, is less restrained and more comfortable. The Queen Mother changed into her regular clothes, sat cross-legged on the kang, leaned on the big pillow, held the hand stove in her hand, and placed her favorite tea and snacks on the kang table at hand. The other ladies no longer sat upright, but leaned into their spacious and comfortable chairs. Even Zhao Xiu and Jiang Liu, two girls, were seated, and they were no longer just standing. There was not so much red tape when everyone spoke, and everyone felt much more comfortable.

The princess of Fenyang was the first to comment: "The girl of the Li family is good, although she may not be better than others in everything in terms of appearance, family background, and talent, but she is better than others." ”

The Queen Mother nodded: "She can be regarded as a mourning family who grew up watching her, she knows the roots, and she has a good temperament." The situation of the emperor's eldest son...... Marrying a daughter-in-law is okay with other things, but temperament is the most important. Those who are strong, those who have a lot of thoughts, and those who are cautious are not good. Isn't the queen such a person, she used to look at it, but now what? The emperor has already suffered hardships, how can he let Da Lang suffer the same loss again? ”

Everyone exchanged glances with each other, and they all knew it.

Li Shanwen may not be the most outstanding lady, but she is the most suitable, without him, just because her relationship with the Jiang family is close enough. The Jiang family is the emperor's mother's family, and they have no intention of fighting for power and profit. Empress Xie was tormented by her suspicion and suspicion, which made the Jiang family unrestful, and also made the emperor very angry. The eldest son of the emperor was born to the queen, and I don't know if he was influenced by his biological mother. But in the eyes of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, the wife of the eldest son of the emperor must no longer be unfriendly to the Jiang family. If you directly push the daughter of the Jiang family to the throne, firstly, it is the wrong generation or age, and secondly, in the eyes of outsiders, it seems that the queen mother is selfish, so Li Shanwen, a girl who is not surnamed Jiang and is close to the Jiang family, has become the best candidate.

The eldest son of the emperor also knew this in his heart, so he did not object. He also needs the favor of the queen mother and the emperor to ensure his position as crown prince.

The problem of the eldest princess of the emperor is solved, and it is Gao Zhen's turn next. This time, it was Mrs. Jiang who spoke first: "Queen Mother, Brother Zhen's marriage, you should also mention it, right?" His eyes had already been aimed at Zhao Xiu.

Zhao Xiu was stunned, and his face slowly turned red. (To be continued......)
