The children of the civil official family, not to mention the young people who are the same age as An'er, are high-ranking officials, most of them have not even been admitted, so they can't compare to Pei Lin. However, the eldest son and grandson of the noble family were born with the qualifications to inherit the title, and they were born with nobility.

Xiang's family is thinking about finding the eldest son and grandson of the princess and uncle's mansion for An'er to be her husband-in-law, and she must make An'er beautiful and a super-first-class lady. The eldest princess's granddaughter, the only adopted daughter of the right general administration, is naturally worthy of these noble families.

After eliminating some of the already fallen princes and uncles, Xiang looked at it and found that only Linjiang Marquis Chen Lingfeng and An'er were of the same age, and they couldn't help but be depressed. The chaos in the Linjiang Hou Mansion, who doesn't know, who doesn't know? Besides, Chen Lingfeng is still studying in Guozijian, and it is difficult to say what kind of future he will have in the future.

Xiang's family took great pains to plan a lifelong event for An'er, but Jin Tongzheng found that his daughter was not as lively as before, and he was suspicious. As her daughter grows older, what does she have on her mind? If you don't have something on your mind, a good daughter will become less talkative, smile less, and often sullen for something.

Jin Tongzheng picked a day off, took An'er out of the city, went to the courtyard to see the scenery, pick fruits, fish, and watched with An'er watch the servants from the field to pick vegetables and bring them into the kitchen, ready to enjoy a delicious lunch. An'er blew the wind in the wild, saw a lot of new and interesting things, and gradually became cheerful.

"Daughter, if you have something on your mind, you must tell your father." Jin Tongzheng said gently and lovingly.

An'er tilted her head and thought about it, "It's not a big deal. Dad, I had two fights with a person, and I felt that person was so hateful, and I wanted to reason with him. But now that he is married and is about to marry a wife, he can't reason with him, and he is a little angry. ”

An Er said these words inadvertently, which caused turmoil in Jin Tongzheng's heart. The daughter is really old, and she has the mind of a girl, but fortunately, the daughter and the man have only quarreled twice, and they are not deep.

"What does it have to do with him that he wants to marry a wife and you want to reason with him?" Jin Tongzheng looked at his daughter with a smile and a keen gaze.

An'er's face was full of disappointment, "He didn't get married, he and I are both children, and there is a quarrel between children, what is it?" But he got married, and when he married a wife in the future, he would be an adult, and I would quarrel with him again, which would be unusual. ”

Marriage is a sign of adulthood. Those who are married are adults, and those who are not married are children.

"I wanted to quarrel with him, but I couldn't. I may never see him again, and if I do, I have to stay away......" An'er's eyes darkened.

It's a lot of fun to quarrel with him, but I can't do it again.

Jin Tongzheng is a heartbroken daughter again, and he feels relieved. No matter what kind of thoughts An'er had, he finally knew that he would avoid suspicion, and if he knew that person became a relative, he would stay away.

's daughter is older, Jin Tongzheng sighed.

Jin Tongzheng sighed with emotion, and he also knew in his heart that his daughter's family affairs could not be delayed.

She gradually grew in size, and with the mind of a girl, parents just want to keep her for a few more years, I'm afraid it won't work. The female university is not staying.

The father and daughter played in the courtyard for most of the day, bringing a lot of wild vegetables, fruits, pheasants and ducks and other fresh things, and slowly returned to the city. When he returned home, Xiang was very relieved to see that her husband and daughter were looking good, with a shallow smile on their faces. It's nice that my daughter will be smiling again.

Jin Tongzheng also began to look at the son-in-law candidate. Unlike Xiang, he doesn't like the children of the Xungui family very much, but he values young people who can read and have good conduct. Xiang Shi disagreed, and muttered secretly, "It's good to be admitted to the Jinshi before the age of thirty, and then start from the seventh-rank official, which year and month can you sit in a high position?" "It's still looking for it in the honor.

Xiang's mentioned Chen Lingfeng to Jin Tongzheng, even if Jin Tongzheng denied it, "A child who has no father since he was a child was raised by his grandmother and mother, and I am afraid that he has no responsibility." ”

Chen Lingfeng's situation, in Jin Tongzheng's view, is "better than a woman's hands", without the guidance of his father, it is difficult to make a profit by his grandmother and mother. What's more, Chen Lingfeng's grandmother and mother are not virtuous figures.

Xiang's family was also not satisfied with Chen Lingfeng, and when he saw that his husband was opposed, he looked at other people.

It was also Xiang's luck, when she was looking for it, because of the loss of her mother to return to her hometown to keep filial piety, the original Pingliang Marquis Fei Xing's three-year filial piety period expired, and the family moved back to the capital. This Fei Xingzu is the eldest son of the old Pingliang Marquis, after the death of his father, he naturally inherited the title and the Hou Mansion of the Pingliang Marquis, his wife Wang is Mrs. Hou, the eldest son Fei Yaozu is the son, and Fei Yaozu's wife Zhang is the wife of the prince.

Fei Yaozu has only one adopted son, Fei Xu, who is seventeen years old, this is of course the future heir of Pingliang Houfu, the future Pingliang Hou. Fei Xu is not young, because of filial piety, he has been accompanying his grandfather and grandmother in his hometown, keeping filial piety for his great-grandmother, and has not married.

The deceased Marquis Pingliang was brave and good at fighting, and he has been killing pirates and pirates along the coast of Fujian, and has made great achievements. Although Fei Xing is not as good as his father, he is not too bad, and he is also a commander and acquaintance in Tengxiang Zuowei, and he is also a real power. Xiang looked at it and felt that the family of Pingliang Hou Mansion could barely see the past. Fei Xu, this young man, is quite handsome, and he doesn't have any sneering habits, which is very good.

Xiang's wife Zhang was acquainted when he was a girl, and when he grew up, he married each other, and Zhang settled in the capital, but Xiang's went to work in other places with Jin Tongzheng, and then the interaction gradually decreased. This time the Zhang family returned to Beijing, one was in a hurry to hire a daughter-in-law for his son, and the other was in a hurry to marry his daughter, so they came together again. Xiang visited Zhang's in Pinglianghou's mansion, and Zhang's returned the next day, and the two talked happily.

Xiang's looked at Fei Xu and felt so-so; Zhang's look at An'er and couldn't be more satisfied. The granddaughter of the eldest princess, the only daughter of the right Tongzheng, is beautiful, generous, and looks pleasing to the eye. Xiang has always been polite, and the daughter she taught must also be virtuous and generous. Well, such a girl is very good, and it is most suitable to marry home as a daughter-in-law.

If the two of them were in charge, they would probably make a decision on the spot and settle this family business.

This is of course impossible. Xiang's family wants to go home to discuss with Jin Tongzheng, and she wants to ask the eldest princess of Longqing, and the Zhang family is the same, she wants to discuss with her husband, she wants to ask her in-laws, and she only has Fei Ji's baby son, and it doesn't matter whether her son likes it or not.

Xiang felt that An'er was despised, and couldn't wait to set a proper family for her as soon as possible, so that she could raise her eyebrows. Zhang's family is probably in his hometown for a long time, and his only son is old, and he is also very anxious. Zhang's asked for An'er's birthday, and asked the senior monk to close it, Xiang's hesitated, did not refuse, and gave it.

When Xiao Ping was two months old, he was named King Lu, and the East Palace gave banquets to the clan, relatives and members of the third rank or above. For this banquet, which is essentially a double full moon banquet, the crown prince specially explained to Xiao Zhengzheng in detail, "Son, when you are full moon, the specifications of the banquet are much higher than that of your younger brother. You are the grandson of the emperor, Xiao Pingping is not as good as yours. ”

After Xiao Zhengzheng figured it out, he was very happy, gave his parents a bright smile, and leaned over to kiss his brother's little face. In fact, he doesn't love his brother very much, because the smell of milk on his brother's body is too strong, it doesn't smell good, and it's very naïve.

Xiao Pingping reciprocated him with a milk burp.

On the day of the full moon banquet, the crown prince, the crown prince, and the king of Lu were deliberately dressed up exactly the same. Because the weather is getting hotter, they chose elegant blue robes for the father and son, embroidered nine dragons, although they are one big and two small, but even the posture of the dragon is godlike, and it looks very interesting.

The emperor personally presided over the banquet with a lot of face, and saw Xiao Shi holding Xiao Pingping in his arms, Xiao Zhengzheng standing on his legs, and the father and son were wearing exactly the same blue dragon robe.

He is the proudest of all, Xiao Shi, Xiao Zhengzheng, Xiao Pingping, they are all his children and grandchildren.

"Little Ten, your sons are all fine." The emperor smiled and complimented.

"Your Majesty, your son and I are also very good." The crown prince is modest.

"I'm willing to lose to you, so that your son is better than my son." The emperor gave him a blank look—

Queen Zhang in the inner hall couldn't help but be stunned when she saw a handsome middle-aged woman among the guests. Who is this woman? Good looks, good faces.

Empress Zhang beckoned to the female official on the side and asked a few words in a low voice. The female official glanced at the guests and replied with a smile: "Queen Mother, that lady is the mother of the fiancée of the princess's cousin, the wife of Tao County Ling, her own surname is Chu, and they all call her Mrs. Chu." ”

This is Xiao Pingping's full moon banquet, and all the relatives of the Pei family have been invited. Pei Lin's fiancée's parents, of course, are also distinguished guests.

Empress Zhang thought about it for a long time, and finally thought of who this middle-aged beauty was and where she had seen it. However, how could she have the surname Chu? She should be surnamed Fei.

This beautiful woman made Queen Zhang feel sorry and pity back then.

"It's a pity that she has a poor background, otherwise, if she was picked for the boss back then, everything would be different, right?" Empress Zhang recalled the past and looked sad.

She is now middle-aged, and she is still beautiful and moving. Back then, she was even more beautiful, and among the young girls in the hall, none of them could compare to her. However, it was the Tang family who was finally selected as the crown princess, not her.

"It's all because of your origin." Empress Zhang smiled bitterly.

According to Queen Zhang's previous temper, I am afraid that I will have to announce the Chu family in front of me and carefully ask her about her farewell situation over the years. However, she had already been frightened by the emperor, and she was also frightened by what happened to the abolished prince and Ning Shou Fushou, and she didn't dare to fight with the emperor for half a minute. This is Xiao Pingping's full moon banquet, Chu is his maiden relative, and it is better to have more than one thing as less.

Empress Zhang's compassionate and somewhat sad gaze fell on Chu from time to time, and Chu had always been smart and quickly noticed.

"Queen Mother, haven't you forgotten me?" Chu smiled faintly.

If it's true, the queen's memory is also good. It was hard for her to remember what happened so many years ago.

Chu suddenly thought of something terrible, and the smile on his face froze. If the past is revealed, the Pei family also thinks that they have an unsightly background, then Ke'er ...... Will the Pei family still look up to her?

"No, I can bear it, I can do anything, but my daughter can't bear it! She is still the age of a flower, and she still has a long life to live! Chu's beautiful apricot eyes flashed with a hint of perseverance and determination.

After the banquet was over, Empress Zhang and the emperor teased Xiao Pingping together and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, do you still remember the girl in the Pingliang Marquis Mansion?" The emperor thought carefully for a long time, but nodded, "Remember." ”

The girl was as beautiful as the full moon in the sky, with flowers on her branches, but after all, she had no fate with the royal family.

"The concubine saw her again today, she is the mother of the starling's fiancée." Empress Zhang said with some melancholy.

The Emperor was stunned. Tao Ming's wife? That beautiful and incomprehensible girl, married to Tao Ming, and lived in a small county town?

Lu Feng, the commander of Jinyiwei, who was given a month by the emperor to find out the truth, really found out an old past after more than half a month of running around and sleeplessly:

Blocking Tao Ming's promotion was the Marquis of Pingliang's wife, Wang. The reason why the Wang family blocked Tao Ming's promotion was not because Tao Ming offended her, but because of Tao Ming's wife Chu.

Lao Pinglianghou has always taken the lead, loved his subordinates, and was very loved by generals and soldiers. Once, he sent troops to an isolated island in the sea to encircle and suppress pirates, and was almost shot by a cunning and fierce pirate leader. Vice General Chu's wife went early, and there is only one daughter at home, who is the heart and soul baby raised by Vice General Chu as a father and a mother. Because he was afraid that his daughter would be wronged and abused by his stepmother, Vice General Chu never renewed. When Vice General Chu died for a while, the poor girl became an orphan girl, and she had no relatives in this world.

After Lao Pinglianghou hugged the body of Vice General Chu and cried, he hired the orphan girl left by Vice General Chu as his wife for his son Fei Xing.

You saved my life, and I can't afford not to take care of your only daughter.

Vice General Chu's daughter was born extremely beautiful, and she was pampered by her father, and she read poetry and books. But Fei Xing has been growing up in the capital with his mother, and I heard that his father asked him to marry a girl who grew up in the countryside. He didn't dare to let go of a fart in front of Lao Pinglianghou, and his mother, the prince and his wife, did not dare to disobey her husband, so the mother and son agreed resignedly, but Fei Xing was full of disgust for the bride he was about to marry.

Even if Mrs. Chu is as beautiful as a fairy, he still dislikes it and still doesn't like it.

When the three-year period of filial piety for the orphan daughter of Vice General Chu expired, Lao Pinglianghou took her back to Beijing and ordered Fei Xing to hold a wedding with her. After marriage, Fei Xing has always been very cold and contemptuous of Mrs. Chu. Mrs. Chu grew up in the palm of her father's hand since she was a child, and she was not a person who could be angry, so she said to Lao Pinglianghou that since the son of the world is reluctant, the twisted melon is not sweet, so let's get together and disperse. He also said, "You can't be my father-in-law, but you can be my father-in-law, and you can take care of me."

Lao Pingliang Hou Zhilu said that his son was indifferent to his wife to this point, so he angrily arrested his son, and beat him to death without saying anything. After this beating, Fei Xing was scared and didn't dare to mess with Mrs. Chu again. Mrs. Chu also knew that Lao Pinglianghou really felt sorry for her, and couldn't bear to disappoint his old man, so she was also gentle with Fei Xing, and the two reconciled. Lao Pinglianghou saw that his son and daughter-in-law were well, so he was relieved and returned to Fujian.

A year later, Mrs. Chu gave birth to a girl.

Before the girl was a full moon, the Fei family had an urgent message from Fujian: Lao Pinglianghou was seriously ill and bedridden, and the doctor had asked him to prepare for the future. Fei Xing listened to this letter, and the first thing he did was not to go to Fujian to see off his father, but after discussing with his mother, Mrs. Wang, he threw down the letter of resignation to Mrs. Chu, "Take your daughter and leave my house!" ”

Mrs. Wang was a little unwilling, although this daughter-in-law was not her favorite, but, after all, her father saved her husband and gave his life to save her husband. Before the full moon is about to take a break from her, how can I bear it. However, the most important person to her is, of course, her son, and in the face of morality and her son's heart, she chose the latter with tears.

Mrs. Chu threw the letter of resignation back to Fei Xing, "Think about my father buried in the ground, look at the daughter in my arms, do you have this face?" ”

Fei Xing also felt ashamed, and after thinking about it several times, he replaced the book of resignation with the book of resignation.

Mrs. Wang avoided meeting, her husband was ruthless, and the proud Mrs. Chu accepted and left the book, and left the Pingliang Marquis Mansion with her daughter who was not full moon.

Lao Pinglianghou bought a Zhuangzi and a house for her in the capital as a dowry. This dowry was not significant before, but after the and departure, it was very useful. Mrs. Chu lived in the dowry house purchased for her by Lao Pinglianghou, took care of the harvest of the grange herself, and spent five years with her youngest daughter.

She named her youngest daughter "Lotus", not to be pitiful, but to make her ambitious and not to be a villain.

Mrs. Chu has always been proud.

When Ah Lian was five years old, Mrs. Chu fell ill with the epidemic and was seriously ill and dying. Mrs. Wang has been secretly paying attention to the mother and daughter, and knowing that Mrs. Chu is no longer good, she went to Wicker Hutong in person to bring Ah Lian back to Pinglianghou's mansion. Mrs. Chu scoffed, "It's right to raise Ah Lian as a concubine?" Don't! Mrs. Wang's face was very unbearable, and for the sake of her little granddaughter, she swallowed her anger and agreed, "I just said that I am my relative, and I don't treat her as a concubine, nor do I treat her as a maiden." ”

Mrs. Chu knew that she didn't have many days, so she had to entrust her daughter to Mrs. Wang, "When she grows up, marry her to an innocent and honest family, monogamy, and live a stable life." Mrs. Wang solemnly agreed.

After Mrs. Chu died of illness, Ah Lian was taken back to Pinglianghou Mansion by Mrs. Wang, and only said that she was a distant relative of her mother's family. However, no one regards Ah Lian as a distant relative, and they all say behind their backs that she was born in the outer room, and her biological mother is unsightly.

Fei Xing later married the maiden niece of Mrs. Wang, who was Mrs. Pinglianghou Wang. The Wang family has a pair of dragon and phoenix children, the son is Fei Yaozu, and the daughter Fei Jianniang, this pair of children is only seven months younger than Ah Lian.

Mrs. Wang was still kind to Ah Lian, gave her good food and clothing, and also hired teachers for her, taught her to read, taught her female workers, and taught her etiquette. Ah Lian was born very beautiful, very smart, learns everything quickly, Fei Jianniang, who is not much younger than her, compares with her, and becomes a stupid and ugly monster. Because of this, Mrs. Pinglianghou hated her to the core.

When Ah Lian was fourteen years old, the emperor and Empress Zhang decreed that the daughters of all officials above the fifth rank entered the palace to participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet. Because the emperor was lustful, Mrs. Wang thought that the emperor was going to choose a concubine, and looked at the flower-like Ah Lian, and was moved. When Lao Pinglianghou was there, the Fei family was very prosperous, but since he left, the Fei family has been getting worse day by day. If the Fei family is a favorite concubine...... Mrs. Wang threw her promise to Mrs. Chu out of the clouds.

Mrs. Wang took Ah Lian into the palace. Ah Lian belongs to the kind of top beauty that makes people shine at first glance, the more she looks at it, the more she looks at it, the more she looks at it, the more beautiful she looks, she goes to the palace Yingying to stand up, lining the rest of the young girls dim.

The emperor and Empress Zhang were all very interested in Ah Lian, summoned Ah Lian to the front, and asked a lot of questions. Ah Lian's manners, conversation, and response were also very decent, and both the emperor and Empress Zhang had smiles on their faces.

It wasn't until she saw the smile on Empress Zhang's face that Mrs. Wang realized that she had made a mistake. This is by no means a concubine for the emperor, if it is a concubine for the emperor, how can Empress Zhang be such a happy smile from the heart? Even if His Majesty the Emperor is under His Majesty, he does not look at the lustful eyes of beautiful women, but at the eyes of his daughter-in-law.

The eldest daughter of the Pingliang Marquis Mansion is the crown princess, which is enough to be qualified. When Mrs. Wang thought of this, she had the heart to die. If he hadn't reconciled with Mrs. Chu back then, if Ah Lian had been given a serious identity, the Fei family would have been able to produce a princess and a queen!

I'm worried that the family is not prosperous enough.

However, with Ah Lian's current identity, it is absolutely impossible. The crown princess, how can she be a "outer room girl".

Mrs. Wang was very angry.

After the emperor and Empress Zhang learned the identity of Dao Ah Lian, they sighed.

Queen Zhang was really reluctant to let Ah Lian's good color and good temperament, and gave birth to the intention of letting Ah Lian be the second concubine of the East Palace. The Emperor shook his head, "No. This child is ambitious and bloody, and if you let her be the second concubine, she must be reluctant. If she really entered the East Palace, I was afraid that the East Palace would be troublesome from now on. ”

She is very beautiful, she is very talented, she will not be willing to live under others - such a second concubine enters the East Palace, do you think the East Palace is not chaotic.

Empress Zhang was still reluctant, and personally called Mrs. Wang over to inquire. Mrs. Wang was very happy and agreed, "It is a blessing for this child." "It is also very good for the Pingliang Marquis Mansion to have a prince and second concubine, which is beneficial to the children and grandchildren.

The emperor asked Ah Lian personally. Ah Lian did not hesitate to excuse herself, "The concubine's biological mother is a bright and upright woman, and her life wish is that the concubine is a suitable person, bright and upright." If she had knowledge, she would not want her daughter to be a side room. ”

The emperor refused to let Ah Lian enter the East Palace, "Such a woman, how smart. If she reluctantly enters, the East Palace will never be peaceful. ”

After this incident, Mrs. Wang was extremely disgusted with Ah Lian. Mrs. Pinglianghou took the opportunity to take revenge, picked the poorest among Ah Lian's new science and technology scholars, and promised Ah Lian over.

Mrs. Wang was very dissatisfied with this granddaughter who refused to give up herself for the benefit of the Fei family, so she didn't care about her. Ah Lian was married to Tao Ming like this, and followed Tao Ming to Mingshui, where he lived for twenty years.

Pinglianghou's wife Wang has a cousin who serves in the Ministry of Officials, and she knows that Tao Ming has good political performance and wants to be promoted, so she bribed the head of the Ministry of Officials and revoked Tao Ming's promotion order. Tao Ming did not have a good relationship in the court, and the people in the ministry did not want to offend the Wang family for him, so they received heavy gifts, pushed the boat down the river, and left Tao Ming in Mingshui.

After listening to this old story patiently, the emperor cared about one thing, "The prince of Pingliang Hou is only seven months younger than Ah Lian?" ”

When Ah Lian was born, Mrs. Chu was still in the main room. Fei Yaozu, who is only seven months younger than Ah Lian, how can he be a son-in-law.

The famous weapons of the imperial court, when will they start to be able to give people like Fei Yaozu.

Lu Feng, the head of the brocade guard, has always been strict, and said respectfully: "The minister has confirmed, it is really seven months. ”

The emperor was angry. Honglu Temple, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Rites all have the responsibility of arguing the concubines, and if these people are able to do things, Ah Lian's matter may be revealed back then. In that case...... Maybe a lot of things will be different.

The author has something to say: Xie Lu Xie my2birds, the mines sent by the left bank, Xie Lu Xie everyone.

So late, sorry sorry. However, this chapter is slightly fatter......
