Mrs. Zhending Hou was unwilling and was about to say something. At this time, Cao Fangshi suddenly interjected: "The Queen Mother is happy to have a good granddaughter-in-law today, which is really gratifying." But he reversed the topic in the direction of congratulations.

Zhang also reacted immediately, and congratulated the Queen Mother with a smile. Everyone woke up like a dream, no matter whether they were happy or not, the matter was a foregone conclusion, and they had no choice but to congratulate them.

There is also a daughter of the prince who is related to the princess of Fenyang, secretly vigilant, recalling whether she showed an expression that she shouldn't have just now, and was rude in front of the queen mother. Since the position of the eldest princess of the emperor is hopeless, she can no longer lose her manners, and her reputation will be damaged in the future, and she will not be able to find a good marriage. In the entire Great Chu Dynasty, except for the eldest son of the emperor, it is not that there are no other men to marry.

She quietly tugged at her mother's sleeve, who quickly calmed down. Anyway, if she can get the queen mother's blue eyes, she can still increase her daughter's value. There are still many outstanding children in the royal family who have never been married, but they can't cut off their own back roads because of a moment of frustration. With her family's kinship with the princess of Fenyang, the princess of Fenyang also has a lot of face in front of the queen mother, and she can probably say yes and agree for them. Choosing a good candidate from among those children, her daughter's future is still quite promising.

Their mother and daughter recovered quickly, and the Zhang family and Zhao Xiu's ancestors and grandchildren did not miss their manners from beginning to end. Second Mrs. Jiang has nothing to do with herself, so she is naturally not affected. Cao Fang's family is also quite calm, that is, Cao Luo has always been a little nervous.

In addition to these few, among the rest of the fates and daughters. The mother and daughter of the Ding family tried their best to maintain a dignified and elegant demeanor, but they unconsciously showed a little unwillingness and persistence, obviously unwilling to give up their ambitions. Mrs. Zhending Hou looked impatient. Her granddaughter can still stand up to everyone's beautiful appearance, which is rare, but it's a pity that she was dragged back by her elders. As for the remaining Duchess and her daughter, they didn't hold their breath, and even when they congratulated the Queen Mother, they didn't hide their lost souls, and they obviously fell behind. The Queen Mother and the Queen Concubine of Fenyang saw it in their eyes. They've been kicked out.

The Queen Mother remained silent and accepted everyone's congratulations with a smile. Cao Fangshi went on to praise Li Shanwen and flattered the queen mother, the granddaughter-in-law, for choosing well. The choice was good, Mrs. Jiang and her cooperated tacitly, and Zhang's occasionally interjected in a daze, but he also spoke lively.

It's obviously a great atmosphere. But Mrs. Hou is really worried about the big things in her heart. Secretly anxious, everyone only cared about flattering the queen mother and praising the newly released eldest princess Li, but forgot about the marriage of the prince of Guangping. Seeing that no one mentioned this, she couldn't help but interject: "The marriage of the eldest son of the emperor has been decided, but he is a younger brother, and there is an elder brother above." I don't know if the Queen Mother is optimistic about the candidate for the princess of Guangping? It's almost time to settle down, right? ”

Everyone turned their heads to look at her, all of them looking surprised. I've seen the blind. I've never seen anything so blind. Can the Queen Mother still forget that her own son's grandson's marriage failed? However, the identity of the eldest son of the emperor and the prince of Guangping is different, and the marriage match of the former was determined first. It's also normal. The selection of the princess of Guangping Wang, the queen mother has already made a decision, and sooner or later it will be announced. What is the urgency of Mrs. Hou? In what capacity did she say such things in front of the Queen Mother?

The Queen Mother slowly put away her smile, her expression was faint, and she couldn't tell if she was angry: "Zhen'er's marriage should naturally be decided, it's hard to believe that Mrs. Hou cares so much." ”

Everyone exchanged a look in private, and they all guessed that Mrs. Hou was really annoying the Queen Mother this time. A trace of remorse flashed on the dignified face of Zhending Hou Qianjin, just now she saw that everyone was flattering and the Queen Mother smiled, and the atmosphere was just right, so she relaxed, she didn't expect her grandmother to be so uncontrollable, so she had to jump out and ask that sentence. This kind of thing, no matter who says it, there is no problem, only they really Dinghou Mansion and the Jiannan Hou Mansion opposite can't speak. Grandmother just committed this taboo.

It's a pity that Mrs. Zhending Hou herself didn't realize the bitterness in her granddaughter's heart, nor did she see the queen mother's affection, but thought that the queen mother was praising her, and hurriedly smiled and said: "When the courtiers saw the prince of Guangping, they liked it so much. How can there be such a handsome offspring in this world? Such a good boy can't be wronged, and he must choose a virtuous and stable good girl to match. The courtiers heard that there was no mistress in the Guangping Palace, and they thought that the selection of the princess in this world could not be sloppy, but they were afraid that they would have to pick an older, stable and capable person, so that they could take on the task of being a housekeeper when they passed the door. Those who are young, learned, and beautiful are not useful. Don't choose the wrong person! ”

Everyone was speechless for a while. The girls present are all candidates favored by the Queen Mother, and among all of them, Zhending Hou Qianjin is the oldest. Mrs. Hou really wants to say something for her granddaughter? But don't look too ugly when you eat, if she wants to recommend her granddaughter, she just recommends it, what's the point of trampling everyone else under her feet? Besides, it is the son of the king of Guangping, the grandson of the queen mother, and the nephew of the emperor, not the youngest descendant of any of your relatives, so you can talk about "this child" and "that child" casually. Which green onion are you really sure about the Hou Mansion? With such a big face, what kind of daughter-in-law should the Empress Dowager choose for her grandson? Doesn't the Queen Mother have an idea herself, so she has to give you a country woman to give advice?

Zhending Hou Qianjin's face turned pale. At this point, it is difficult for her to maintain a dignified demeanor. She's just a fifteen-year-old girl after all. Since the old marquis died on the battlefield, the whole family has lived in Zhending for many years, and has not been in Beijing for a long time, and has been excluded from the noble circle of the capital, with no power and power, except for the position of a marquis, and the grange given by the emperor, there is nothing. Even the old marquis's old ministry in the past has been cut off. The situation of the Hou Mansion is not as good as a year, and in the early years, he could still bluff the people in the officialdom, but now he can not even buy a small county order.

In the past six months, because her mother took her into Beijing, she won the appreciation of the Queen Mother, and their family also had dignity outside, everyone greeted politely when they saw it, the magistrate was also a lot more respectful, and there were rich businessmen who sent money and things to curry favor. But if she offends the Queen Mother, this qiē will come to naught, let alone climb high branches, she is afraid of returning to Zhending with her family. may not be able to live a peaceful life as before.

knew that this was the case, and today my mother is sick, even if it is a good opportunity to marry into the royal family. She shouldn't have let her grandmother take her into the palace to attend the court!

Zhending Hou Qianjin's legs were weak, knelt on the ground, and bowed her head to ask for sin: "The Queen Mother forgives her sins, my grandmother has lived in the countryside for a long time and neglected etiquette, please forgive her for the sake of her old age." ”

Mrs. Hou was stunned. looked at her granddaughter helplessly: "Girl, what are you doing?" She panicked to her feet, unable to understand what she had done wrong. Why did the granddaughter suddenly kneel on the ground and plead guilty? Is there anything rude about her? But she always spoke like this, and no one said she was wrong. The Queen Mother is so kind, even if she says something wrong, she won't be guilty, right?

Mrs. Zhending looked at the others. Almost all of them looked away. Too lazy to take care of such a white-eyed old woman. Only the Zhang family couldn't bear to see it, and felt that she was just in the countryside for a long time, and she was used to being a high-ranking old feudal monarch, and she didn't know the rules in the palace, so she would speak without a form. Although it is ridiculous, it is not bad. Think about yourself, when I first returned to the capital, because I was not good at socializing. Haven't you also suffered losses? So she pleaded with the Queen Mother: "Niangniang extinguishes her anger, Mrs. Zhending Hou has always lived outside Beijing." Today is the first time to enter the palace, and she is also old, so it is inevitable that there will be negligence in etiquette. For the sake of the old marquis, forgive her. ”

She had good intentions, but Mrs. Hou really thought crookedly, thinking that she was sarcastic about being a countryman, compared to her often entering the palace and being familiar with the Queen Mother, so she stretched her face: "What does Mrs. Hou of Jiannan mean by this?" Haven't you always lived outside of Beijing? He who came back not long ago, how can he be better than me? ”

Zhang's kindness was poured cold water on him, and his face was a little ugly. Zhending Hou's daughter was about to cry, and pulled her grandmother's sleeve to signal her to shut up. Mrs. Zhending Hou only felt that her granddaughter was against her everywhere today, and she was even more annoyed in her heart.

The Queen Mother saw it clearly, smiled mockingly, and said lightly to Zhang: "You are still so good-tempered." Then he turned to Zhao Xiu: "Your grandmother is a kind-hearted person, but in this world, kindness may not be rewarded." I see that she is also holding her breath in her heart, so you can persuade her not to make her uncomfortable. ”

Zhao Xiu actually had been annoyed in his heart, and when he heard the Queen Mother's words, he smiled: "Yes." The grandmother of the courtier's daughter is actually the most uncaring character, and she is a little angry, and when she looks back and recites the scriptures, she forgets it all. If the courtiers were careful to explain, she might ask with a puzzled face: What are you talking about? ”

The Queen Mother laughed when she heard this: "You know your grandmother's temperament. Sometimes it's really others who are angry with her, but she herself has long forgotten it, it's not popular, it's not laughing. She is so open-minded, but people look at it with envy. ”

Zhang knew that the Queen Mother was making fun of herself, so she had already put aside the previous displeasure, and laughed a little embarrassedly.

The queen mother said to the daughter of the Marquis of Zhending: "Get up, the mourning family didn't say anything." Your grandmother must be used to being an old feudal monarch at home, everyone flatters her, she doesn't have to be taboo about anything, so she can say whatever she wants. What does the mourning family have to do with her? You are a good and sensible boy, and you know what to do, so get up quickly. ”

Zhending Hou Qianjin kowtowed to the Queen Mother with red eyes, stood up, her little face was miserable and white, very pitiful. And when they saw it, they all sighed. She has also been in the palace several times in the past six months, and everyone is used to seeing her in diplomacy on weekdays, knowing that she is both good-looking, dignified and steady, and there is nothing to be picky about. Mrs. Zhendinghou is also a good mother who is well-read and courteous. How did you know that there was such a grandmother? This little girl is also pitiful.

Everyone knew what was going on in their hearts, but Mrs. Zhending was still at a loss. Did the Queen Mother mean that she really said something wrong? What's wrong? Now that the Queen Mother has called her granddaughter up, is it considered to be forgiving her? Then does she still want to kneel down and thank you? She is also an old bone, she has never suffered such a crime today, can she not kneel or not......

Before she finished dwelling on it, the Queen Mother was already in no mood, and nodded to the palace people around her, and the palace people announced with a smile: "The Queen Mother is tired, all the ladies and girls should step aside for the time being." "I also distributed the queen mother's reward to all the orders and girls.

Among them, the things that the edicts get are basically the same, they are all a stalk of incense, two brocades, and two velvets. The girls got two big red feather satins, Zhao Xiu, Zhending Hou Qianjin and the princess who was related to the princess of Fenyang got an extra jade sachet, Jiang Liu's girl and Cao Luo got a jade pendant, and the other princess's daughter and Miss Ding only had one embroidered sachet.

Seeing what they had gained, everyone thought about it. It's a pity that the Queen Mother got up and left quickly, and they didn't have time to think about it, so they could only kneel down and send them off. (To be continued......)
