Mrs. Meishan was dizzy for a whole day. When she woke up, she was sick again, and lay down on the bed weakly, pale, and didn't want to care about anything, and didn't want to say anything.

Qiu Yuan came to see her, sat down, opened her mouth and called "mother", and before she could say anything else, she first covered her mouth with a handkerchief and began to cry.

Mrs. Meishan Bo looked at her daughter, who was much haggard, and remembered her unfortunate fate, she couldn't help but shed tears, and choked up: "What did I say before? There are some things that cannot be forced. Insisting on what you shouldn't get will only bring harm to yourself. ”

Qiu Yuan cried: "Mother! The daughter is unwilling! The daughter originally had one foot in the court, and the queen mother agreed! It's just that the emperor nodded, and her daughter is the imperial concubine, all relatives and friends know it, and everyone in the capital knows it! Why did the emperor just refuse to nod? Where is the daughter inferior to others? ”

Mrs. Meishan closed her eyes: "Today, what's the use of you saying such things again?" If the emperor is interested in you, if the queen mother likes you, there is already a will in the palace to summon you to see you. Now even the daughter of the head Zhang under the back porch has entered the palace once, but you don't believe it at all, so it can be seen that your thoughts in the past are no longer true. You quickly dispel that thought, stay at home for two years in peace, and when the matter passes, your mother will think of asking someone to intercede in front of the Queen Mother, and ask for a grace that allows you to marry independently. When the time comes, your mother will help you see a good family and not let you be wronged. ”

Qiu Yuan bit her lip and cried silently, but looked at her expression. Obviously, I still don't want to accept my fate.

How could she accept her fate? She was only one step away from becoming a phoenix, but now she is as down-and-out as a chicken. Even relatives and friends sneered at her, and people outside didn't know how to laugh at her. She was originally a lady praised by everyone. I haven't done anything bad, how did I end up in this field? If she accepts her fate, she will have to bear the infamy for the rest of her life, how can she be willing?

Seeing this, Mrs. Meishan became angry: "What else do you want?!" The whole family has missed the future for you, and you are not enough?! That's the Ninety-Five Supreme! It's not something you can imagine! The emperor doesn't want you, what are you still daydreaming? If you really annoy the emperor, our family will lose their lives. What's the end for you?! How did I teach you as a child? How have you ever had such delusions? Why is it that now that you are older, you are becoming more and more ignorant?! ”

Qiu Yuan was taken aback by her mother's anger and cried even harder. After a while, he stammered, "Daughter...... The daughter knew that there was no hope of entering the palace, but ...... But there is no other way out, and my grandmother said......"

Mrs. Meishanbo's face sank: "What did your grandmother say?" Don't tell me, even you're dizzy. Want to be a side concubine for King Guangping? I'm telling you. I can't afford to lose this face! Your dad can't afford to lose face! If you really dare to come out like this, you won't recognize me as a mother anymore! ”

Qiu Yuan cried: "Why? What if it's a side concubine? There is no concubine above, what is the difference with a step-concubine? It's just a little worse in terms of name, as long as I give birth to a son, won't it be a good future in the future? ”

Mrs. Meishan said angrily: "You treat people as fools? In the past, you wanted to marry the prince of Guangping, and your mother didn't help you deliver a message to the palace, even if there are not many people who know about it, there will never be a few. Now you want to be a side concubine for King Guangping. Let people know, what kind of face do we have in the Qiu family? I'd rather marry you to a son of a local official who doesn't have an obvious background. It's better than a lifetime of pointing fingers! ”

Qiu Yuan knelt down in front of her bed with a plop: "Mother, you are my mother, just think about me!" Do you really want to watch your daughter never get married? With the current attitude of the palace towards our family, even if you ask someone to intercede in front of the Queen Mother in the future, the Queen Mother may not spare her daughter, what should the daughter do at that time? If the Queen Mother is ruthless and directly gives her daughter to a child of the clan who is not successful, what should her daughter do? Take 10,000 steps back and say, if the queen mother really spares her daughter, and her daughter can marry someone else, how can the mother know that after the family knows about her daughter, she will not look down on her daughter? At that time, my daughter's life will only be worse than now! Instead of pinning our hopes on others, it is better for us to fight again, if God has mercy, maybe there is a bright future waiting for our daughter in front of us. If God is unwilling to protect his daughter, no matter how bad it is, it will only be like this. Mother, you can help your daughter this time! ”

Mrs. Meishan Bo only felt that her heart was like a knife, but she did not lose her mind, and only instructed others: "Send the second girl back to her yard." ”

The girls could only bite the bullet to help Qiu Yuan, Qiu Yuan cried even more, and kept begging her mother loudly, but Mrs. Meishan Bo just didn't hear it, turned her head with her eyes closed, and didn't look at her daughter's appearance.

Qiu Yuan was dragged back to her yard, fell on the bed and cried, and wanted to go to her grandmother to ask for an idea. But the people around her had already been instructed by Mrs. Meishanbo to refuse to let her out of the hospital, but Mrs. Qiu sent the big girl to see her, and she quieted down.

Mrs. Meishan is still sick, and it is still very distressing to hear the girls report back to their daughter. When the eldest son Qiu Huiquan's wife, Grandma Qiu, came, she asked her daughter-in-law to bring her daughter some of her favorite snacks.

Grandma Qiu is actually only mediocre to this sister-in-law, but she has always done enough superficial work, no matter what she thinks in her heart, since she has received her mother-in-law's decree, she naturally has to do it. In front of Qiu Yuan, she also persuaded gently: "What my sister wants to do, it's really difficult to do." It's not that your mother-in-law won't help you, it's that your mother-in-law can't do anything. If she could do it, her mother-in-law would have done it a long time ago, so how could she fall ill and be sad in bed? Isn't it for my sister? ”

Qiu Yuan gritted her teeth and said: "If you can't enter the palace, forget it, I was the queen at the beginning, but now the queen herself is difficult to protect, what use can I use?" I knew that it would be impossible to enter the palace, but on the side of the Guangping Palace, my father and mother obviously had a way, but they refused to help me, just because they disliked the name of the side concubine. If they had genuinely thought about me, they wouldn't have cared about it. Now that I can't get married, wouldn't it damage the reputation of the Qiu family to say it? My sister-in-law doesn't have to persuade me. I know in my heart that I can only blame myself for my miserable life! ”

Grandma Qiu was surprised, originally thinking that Qiu Yuan was bent on entering the palace as a concubine. Changed your mind? Could it be that Mrs. Qiu was really persuaded by Mrs. Qiu? She usually listens to her mother-in-law's whims, and she still thinks it's a joke in her heart, how can she listen to Qiu Yuan's meaning, there is really a way?

She asked Qiu Yuan: "Over there in the Guangping Palace, what can my father-in-law and mother-in-law do?" The queen has already said that unless the queen mother or the emperor relaxes, who in the world dares to marry you? Even if it is the king of Quang Binh. You wouldn't do that, would you? ”

Qiu Yuan sneered: "King Guangping is also the biological son of the Queen Mother, if he wants to marry someone's daughter, as long as he speaks." Can the Queen Mother still refuse? Besides, I'm not really the emperor's woman. With my background, if I want to marry into the Guangping Palace, naturally only the position of the concubine is worthy of me. On that day, who else will mention what the queen said without eyes? ”

Grandma Qiu felt that her sister-in-law was probably stunned: "Sister." How could the King of Guangping open this mouth to the Queen Mother? You're not confused, are you? ”

Qiu Yuan glanced at her sister-in-law. smiled disapprovingly: "I know that my father and mother have this way, but the stakes are very high, and it's hard to tell my sister-in-law." ”

Grandma Qiu frowned, feeling that something was wrong, she said a few words to Qiu Yuan indiscriminately, then found an excuse to leave, returned to her courtyard and thought about it, and ordered someone to invite Qiu Huiquan back. told him everything Qiu Yuan said, and asked, "Where is my father-in-law and mother-in-law?" Could it be that there is really a way? Uncle has to be on guard, whether there is a way or not, don't ask your sister to take advantage of the loophole, so as to save trouble in the future, and our family will not be able to see people. ”

Qiu Huiquan's face was a little ugly, and he nodded to his wife with a reluctant smile: "I can save it, grandma, don't worry, it's just that the little girl is unwilling and talks nonsense." ”

But he turned his back, and his face became gloomy. He went directly to the study when he went out, called his confidant family to come, and asked Qiu Yuan what the people waiting around him had been doing recently, and by the way, he also inquired about what the subordinates on Mrs. Qiu's side had been doing recently. After learning the result, Qiu Huiquan immediately came to look for Mrs. Meishanbo.

After listening to the words of the eldest son, Mrs. Meishanbo's face turned pale, and she almost fainted on the spot.

It turned out that Qiu Yuan and Mrs. Qiu had a tacit understanding for a long time, and they didn't just run to her and cry. At the beginning, in order to seek the marriage of the prince of Guangping, Meishanbo and his wife took the lead and buried a nail in advance among the subordinate officials of the Guangping Palace. Originally, he just wanted to find someone to say more good things about Qiu Yuan and the Qiu family in front of the father and son of King Guangping, but it never came in handy. Mrs. Qiu knew about this, and now she saw that King Guangping was going to accept a side concubine, but there was no hope for her granddaughter Qiu Yuan's marriage, so she started the idea of this nail.

The emperor and the prince both live in the palace, and it is too difficult to break the wrong idea. But the king of Guangping is now recuperating in the hot spring village outside the city, as long as the door is opened, it is not impossible to have no chance to contact him. Mrs. Qiu privately ordered someone to send a letter to the nail and asked someone to meet, wanting her granddaughter to climb the dragon and the phoenix again. No matter whether it is the king of Guangping or the prince of Guangping who is recruited in the end, it will not be impossible for his granddaughter to marry anyway. In order to save face, the royal family will definitely give Qiu Yuan a passable name.

Mrs. Qiu even thought that if conditions permitted, she would simply set the target directly as the prince of Guangping. Gao Zhen, the son of Hengzhu, has never married a wife now, even if there is a fiancée who is referring to marriage, it is not impossible to squeeze people down, and it is really impossible to squeeze people away, it is a big deal to make a second room under the daughter of Jiannan Hou Mansion. In the future, there will be favors, heirs, and sons, and there is a way to fight for it.

Mrs. Meishan Bo gasped and was silent for a long time before she said to her eldest son: "If you really ask them to do this, your father will definitely be happy to see it happen, and you will be the one who will bear the consequences when the time comes." ”

Qiu Huiquan nodded with a heavy heart, he had been on an errand in front of the emperor for many years, and he had also been with King Guangping, and he knew that both of them hated being calculated the most. If Qiu Yuan really succeeds in the end, it is impossible to get any benefits, maybe she will "die of illness" before she marries into the Guangping Palace, but the others in the Meishan Bofu will have to bear the anger of the nobles for her. When Meishan Bofu is idle for a long time, it doesn't matter, Qiu Huiyou is an idler, and in the end, the one who suffers the most is his eldest son, who has a good future.

Qiu Huiquan gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "My son will go to make amends to the prince of Guangping." "As long as the grandmother and sister are cut off, the two women of the house will not be able to do anything.

Mrs. Meishan sighed: "In the future...... Don't be at the mercy of your grandmother and father! "I choked up a little again, "Ming'er will send your sister to the family nunnery, and ask her to recite the sutra for two years, just as it is to pray for your grandmother......" (To be continued......
