Chapter 98: The Queen's Heart
Queen Wan's sister-in-law said for a while, and slowly led the topic to Wan Shuwan's body, Queen Wan looked at her niece's young face, and couldn't help touching her cheeks, the tentacles were still smooth, but unfortunately now she relied on maintenance, she was already in her forties, and there were only two biological bones under her knees, the eldest prince and Duanning, thinking of the eldest prince, Queen Wan's brows were tightly locked, among the princes, she was the most outstanding among the three princes, and she was also the most valued by the emperor, the eldest prince......
She looked at Wan Shuwan with a smile and said, "Shuwan is sixteen this year." ”
"Wan'er, you go outside to greet your sister, and your mother and the queen mother will talk."
How could Mrs. Wan not know what Queen Wan meant, opened her mouth to take away her daughter, and said, "The eldest prince is naturally good, I don't know which family Queen Lu Dao values?" ”
"Sister-in-law, what do you ......say," Queen Wan smiled faintly, "Wan'er is something I grew up watching since I was a child, such as today there is only one side concubine by my side, he is already twenty-three, and there is no concubine who is not like words, sister-in-law, rest assured, I treat Wan'er as my own, and I will never let her suffer the slightest grievance in the future when I enter the Qi Palace, and I will never let her suffer the slightest grievance in the future, the prince candidate, whether it is the chief or the heir, it is natural for Tian'er to sit on the prince's seat, Princess Qi will be the princess in the future, and she is the queen of the middle palace in the world. In addition, Cui Yaohua, the third daughter of Cui Shangshu, can be Tian'er's side concubine. ”
Queen Wan patted the back of Mrs. Wan's hand affectionately, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, the concubine must be from our family, and the future queen must not fall into the hands of others. ”
Mrs. Wan nodded silently, the queen's words, she couldn't refute them, the queen's mind was not a day, but Wan'er had always loved the eldest prince not in a day, it took a lot of effort to say, and the eldest prince's qualifications were average, although there was only one side concubine in the house, but there were more than 20 concubines, it was really not a good choice, but the emperor's family, not all of them, not to mention that he was still the future prince and emperor.
"Wan'er thanks to the queen's pity, I don't worry about her future, but Lan'er's side, the palace is not as good as the house, she is simple-minded, she has been spoiled by me since she was a child, when she was born, I was not the prime minister's wife, I always feel indebted to her, the queen has to take care of one or two more, she is your niece."
The two of them talked for a long time, and when Mrs. Wan left Kunning Palace, she happened to meet Lan Guiren and Wan'er talking.
Looking at her eldest daughter, with a radiant face and a gorgeous dress, she couldn't help but feel a lot more at ease, at least it seems that Lan'er has not been wronged in the palace.
Lan Guiren was originally reluctant to come here, if it weren't for his aunt and father who insisted on sending him into the palace, he would have stayed and flew with the eldest prince a long time ago, every time he sneaked around, he was shocked, they were the culprits, and he was bumped into by an outsider, and after inquiring around, she learned that Lu Dao was the county lord of Yanwang's mansion.
"Mother!"
Lan Guiren was aggrieved in his stomach, and he couldn't help but tear up when he saw his mother.
Mrs. Wan choked in her heart, "Lan'er, you are good in the palace, but someone is embarrassing you?" ”
"What did my mother say, my sister has an aunt in the palace to take care of her, so naturally no one dares to embarrass her."
Wan Shuwan said and swept her eyes around, walked into her mother and said in a low voice, "This is not the place to talk, mother, can we go to my sister's palace to sit down?" ”
"Yes, Lan'er, it's been half a month since you entered the palace, and your mother hasn't come to your dormitory to take a look, go, let Mother and Wan'er go to you to have a look." Mrs. Wan said and nodded.
The two daughters are her heart, if it wasn't for the prime minister's insistence on sending Lan'er into the palace, she would have no choice, now Emperor Yongzhen is already in his fifties, but his Lan'er is only eighteen years old, and she is in the prime of life, but she has to accompany a man who is the same age as her father, Mrs. Wan thought about this, and her heart was sour.
Although the grade of Lan Guiren is not high, but fortunately, there is the special grace of the queen's mother, so he lives alone in Lanhuayuan, and he is not pressed by the main position, and his life is smooth.
As soon as she walked halfway, a maid from Wanfu came to report, saying that the fifth lady in the mansion who followed her was in a situation, Mrs. Wan left in a hurry, the door in Lanhuayuan was closed, Wan Shuwan hesitated for a long time before she spoke, "Sister, just now in Kunning Palace, the queen mother meant to choose a concubine for the eldest prince!" ”
“…… Choosing a concubine? ”
Lan Guiren held the hand of the tea bowl for a moment, raised his head in surprise, and just saw his sister's weak flower-like soft side face, and her clear eyes shot out of youthful brilliance, and she couldn't help but be stabbed so that her eyes were sore, and she secretly grabbed the placket under the table, and said coldly, "Whose daughter did she fall in love with?" ”
"My sister is not in front of me, I don't know!"
Wan Shuwan lowered her head and thought for a long time before she said, "Sister, I don't want to marry the eldest prince, and I ask my sister to help me!" ”
"You ......"
Lan Guiren narrowed his slender eyes and nodded, yes, the concubine selected by his queen aunt for the eldest prince must be a prominent family who can help the eldest prince ascend to the throne of the crown prince, so if you count it, one is her sister, the daughter of the prime minister in the boudoir, and the other is the daughter of the Cui family of the Ministry of War.
Thinking that his sister was going to marry the man he loved, Lan Guiren's jealous eyes shot a light of resentment, sneered, lowered his head, and said lightly, "The will of the queen's mother, the meaning of my father and mother, how can I help you, good sister, you asked for the wrong person, besides, the eldest prince is dignified, is he not worthy of you?" ”
"Sister!"
Wan Shuwan knelt on her knees as she spoke, and said with a firm expression, "I know that my sister and the eldest prince were in love before entering the palace, and my sister really didn't dare to take away the beauty of others, let alone covet the man my sister loved, I just asked my sister to help me, the eldest prince is very good, but no matter how good he is, I don't want to marry a man who has other women in his heart, and he still pretends to be his sister in his heart, and my sister knows that my sister is beautiful, I can't reach one ten-thousandth, and I don't dare to have such extravagant hopes." ”
Her words were sincere, and Lan Guiren's heart was relaxed, he lifted his eyelids, and frowned, "Don't talk nonsense!" I am now the emperor's concubine, how dare I have anything to do with the eldest prince, are you deliberately trying to kill me? ”
"Sister, there are no outsiders here, I don't dare to say it usually, I will go out of my way today, is my sister really willing to watch the eldest prince marry her?"
