Ding Mei'er sat behind the emperor and watched for a long time, that Liu Haoqiang was tall and mighty, heroic, except for being a little darker, it was really good, and it was not wronged Qin'er.

More importantly, she could see that among the four or five young generals, whether it was the emperor or Yun Deqing, it was obvious that Liu Haoqiang, who was the youngest, was the most valued. And several other young generals also seem to admire him very much, and they take him as the leader in everything.

Liu Haoqiang is only nineteen years old this year, and he looks like a five-rank captain. Judging from the current trend, if nothing else, he will be Yun Deqing's successor in the future. There is also a possibility that he was reused elsewhere by the emperor, just as there was no suitable candidate for the vacancy of the South China Sea General back then, or Prince Yong recommended his first deputy Qi Jingyu, who is now General Haiyong. In short, Liu Haoqiang has a bright future.

Ding Meier became more and more determined to promote her sister Ding Qin'er to marry Liu Haoqiang, in that way, wouldn't this brother-in-law and aunt cousin be firmly tied to her in the same boat? Moreover, the royal marriage not only means that the man is valued by the emperor, but the woman who is married is also beautiful.

Ding Mei'er's gaze was too eager, so that Liu Haoqiang, who was good at detecting the enemy's situation, was sensitively aware of it, and his brows furrowed slightly. In his uncle's letter to him, he talked about the relationship between his mother and his uncle and Mrs. Ding, and also said that Mrs. Ding made those farces, fortunately, his father and mother lived in the Zhuangzi of the Zhongyi General's Mansion, otherwise they would not have been tossed by the Ding family?

Of course, Daqiang's uncle also talked about the situation of the Ding family and Ding Meier's current identity, reminding Daqiang to be careful. This reminded Daqiang of a scene many years ago, and suddenly realized that he had already seen the so-called aunt and cousin, the beautiful and poisonous girl in red who laughed at him when the lord of Fuxing insisted on buying the white jade pen wash in order to help their family.

Ding Meier's sentence back then, "A stupid." A crazy one. Repay? By you? ”。 and the full of disdain and ridicule in her eyes deeply hurt Daqiang, who was only ten years old, and felt that she was the vicious and selfish beauty snake that Mr. Storyteller said, so the image was extremely profound, and she had been spurring herself to work hard all these years.

At this moment, I felt Ding Meier's warm gaze, and I was even more disgusted, did I want to use him and their mother's so-called sisterhood? It's really crooked at the top and crooked at the bottom. None of the family is a good thing.

Da Qiang suddenly thought, if Yan Concubine knew that she was the poor boy who was degraded by her back then, she didn't know what her expression would be.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, but Daqiang is not afraid of Yan Concubine blowing the wind on the pillow and making any secret tricks. The generalissimo said that the emperor is a rare king. If it's so easy to be seduced by a woman, what kind of Ming Jun is it?

The queen happened to catch a glimpse of Ding Mei'er's eager gaze and Da Qiang's frowning, and smiled unintentionally: "By the way, Concubine Yan, it is said that Liu Xiaowei's mother was originally the younger sister of your mother, Mrs. Ding, but she has long broken off the relationship." It's a pity, it's a good thing to see Captain Liu in this palace. His parents who raised him must have been excellent too. “

Which pot is not opened, Ding Meier gritted her teeth angrily. But there is nothing to be done. Before she was holding Ma Guifei, the queen looked at her unpleasantly, but now that Ma Guifei is dead and the Ma family is over, she has no reliance.

The bloody Daqiang over there had already saluted the queen respectfully: "Queen Xie's mother praises her falsely, Weichen's family has been poor since she was a child, but under the teaching of her father, she also has self-knowledge, abides by her duty, and does not dare to climb Yan Concubine Niangniang and the Ding family." ”

The inner layer of Ding Meier's wide sleeves was almost crushed by her, and she secretly scolded this Liu Haoqiang for being really a country chin and not knowing how to lift. Anyway, she is also a favorite concubine who has some face in front of people, and the Ding family is also a fourth-grade official family, and she insulted his Liu family? It doesn't matter if his ignorant parents don't understand, I didn't expect Liu Haoqiang to be so brainless. The harem needs the support of the court, and the court also needs the help of the harem?

She was thinking about how to accept Liu Haoqiang's words with grace and grace, but the emperor laughed: "What is the poverty of the family? The children of the poor are in charge of the family early, or why don't they all say 'talents from poor families'? Liu Xiaowei's parents can raise an excellent young soldier like Liu Xiaowei, a pillar of the country, but is he richer than anything else? By the way, Captain Liu seems to be about to turn twenty, has the family ever set a family affair for you? Queen, what good girl can you ...... with?"

The queen was about to answer with a smile, but the anxious Concubine Yan blurted out: "Your Majesty, the concubine's younger sister Qin'er is fourteen this year, and she is beautiful and lovely, which is just right." The concubine's mother has always felt guilty about her aunt because of the previous misunderstanding, so she thought about marrying her most beloved sister to her cousin, kissing and kissing, so that Qin'er could take good care of and honor her uncle and aunt, which could be regarded as making up for her guilt. Your Majesty, you must fulfill the repentance of the concubine's mother. ”

The emperor said meaningfully, "Oh? He didn't say anything, but just looked at Daqiang with a smile on his face.

Da Qiang sighed in his heart, the emperor wouldn't really have this intention, right? He didn't want to have anything to do with the so-called favorite concubine in front of him and that kind of family.

Besides, he already has a small apple in his heart, and the generalissimo said that Aunt Mei will decide after seeing him this time, so he doesn't want the daughter of the Ding family, no matter how beautiful and lovely she is, he is not interested.

Daqiang is still young and from a poor family, unlike those children of official families who have been taught some officialdom politics since they were young, where do they know so many obscure things? In a war, he is the way, looking at his face, seeing the wind and making the rudder, and saying a word to measure and measure those, it is not at all, let alone asking him to guess the emperor's mind? At the moment, he hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, my parents are already discussing for Weichen, and I want to take advantage of Weichen's return to Beijing to settle down." ”

The emperor saw that Daqiang was so anxious that he was sweating, and his two foreheads were exposed, and he couldn't help but laugh: I'm still too young to hold my breath!

But, hehe, just hone and hone more. Fortunately, Yun Deqing is still in the prime of life, and he has a lot of time to train and hone these young people. Moreover, if the generals are as thoughtful as civil officials, he will have a headache.

Ding Meier saw that the emperor did not respond, and she was a little timid, angry and timid. She knew that the emperor didn't like the Ding family, but in fact, her father and second uncle also served in the army before, but it was a pity that they were too opportunistic. I want military merit and I don't want to go to the front line. In his early years, he sought a relationship and was transferred back to the capital. My father was an errand boy in the military department. The second uncle is in the city patrol command office. It's been ten years, and both of them have barely been promoted.

Now, will the emperor force Liu Haoqiang and the Liu family to marry the Ding family just for her? If she had just entered the palace, Ding Meier would still have such confidence. But ......, over the years, the emperor's imminent and moody mood really made her a little more self-aware.

Sure enough, the emperor smiled and waved his hand to Daqiang: "Don't be nervous. Since your father and mother are already discussing marriage for you, I will not overstep my responsibilities. I don't like to mess around with mandarin ducks, don't worry, haha. Queen, when Liu Xiaowei's parents have negotiated the family matter, you can arrange for them to marry. A capable soldier like Liu Xiaowei wanted to make meritorious contributions to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and his future wife would take care of their parents and raise their children for them, and the imperial court was willing to give them more dignity. ”

The queen happily responded: "Your Majesty, rest assured, this matter is handed over to the concubines." "The four princes are now very valued by the emperor's side. The emperor will often give instructions in person, as long as there are no major mistakes. In the future, ......, these people are likely to be the people of the Four Princes, and the queen is naturally happy to give this favor.

Daqiang was so overjoyed that he hurriedly knelt down again and bowed: "Wechen thank the emperor for his love!" Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live, the queen mother thousand years old. ”

Jin Xida, Shujie, and Yun Deqing were also smiling, Daqiang could earn this dignity for Xiutao, and they were naturally happy for Xiutao.

Ding Mei'er turned pale at all, the emperor didn't think he heard what she said, right? No, if that's the case, forget it, but the emperor's sentence "I don't like to mess around with mandarin ducks" is obviously aimed at her.

Ding Meier didn't expect Daqiang to be so difficult to handle, she thought that such a good opportunity today would invisibly "borrow" the emperor's power to "suppress" him, and she would definitely be caught, who would have thought that a fledgling small market would be so bold and arrogant?

Ding Mei'er is the most powerful in observing words and expressions, and she can clearly feel the disdain and disgust in Daqiang's eyes. She really couldn't figure it out, why did Liu Haoqiang dislike her so much, just for the old grievances of the elders, or the insult that his mother had for his mother on the street?

It was difficult to accept this frustration, Ding Meier quietly asked the emperor to say a few words to Liu Haoqiang alone after the banquet, only saying that she was a child and wanted to make up for some shortcomings for her mother.

The emperor lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea, no one could see the content in his eyes, and raised his head before he said "um", he didn't need to object, someone was willing to come out to help him test and even hone his courtiers, he had never been willing to refuse, especially those young courtiers whose wings had not yet grown hard.

Not only did the emperor think so, but when Yun Deqing heard that Concubine Yan wanted to leave Daqiang to speak, he also nodded quietly: "Then you go, let's go back first." "There is no superfluous explanation. If the eaglet wants to spread its wings and fly high, it must be stunned by itself, and face and solve all kinds of problems by itself. Otherwise, even if the wings are hard and strong enough, they will not be able to dodge the dark arrows that will be shot at any time.

Besides, the emperor has responded, what does he care about so much?

Ding Mei'er looked at Da Qiang with a cold face, and forced herself to smile and said: "Cousin, sisters, broken bones and tendons, it is only right for a family to value harmony, so that they can help each other." It is not right for the mother to misunderstand her aunt on the street, but the grievances of the Qin family in the past are not caused by the mother, and I hope that the cousin can persuade the aunt and uncle to avoid regrets in the future, which is the filial piety of a child. ”

Daqiang is not a slimy person, and he feels that he is very uncomfortable talking as a big man in the harem, and he is not tactful: "I don't dare to take the word 'cousin' of Yan Concubine's mother, Weichen has been poor since he was a child, he has never read any books, and he doesn't know too much about the big truth, he only knows that since he broke off the relationship in black and white, he is not implicated, since his mother and uncle don't want to climb the nobles, Weichen must also follow and abide by his duty is filial piety." Yan Concubine Niangniang is a nobleman in the harem, and it is inconvenient for Weichen to reply here, if Niangniang has nothing important, Weichen will retire. As he spoke, he turned around.

"Wait," Ding Mei'er was annoyed, "You and my cousin are also meeting for the first time, just because of the misunderstanding between the elders, do you have such deep displeasure?" ”

A sneer flashed across Daqiang's face: "Niangniang is a nobleman, nobles forget things, Weichen and his father have seen Niangniang nine years ago, but Niangniang is high, where will we put such a humble people in our eyes?" At that time, Weichen's mother was seriously ill, if it weren't for the kindness of the county lord of Fuxing since childhood, he bought the broken white jade pen wash of Weichen's house and helped our family, Weichen's mother would have passed away a long time ago, how could he come to the capital to let Mrs. Ding 'misunderstand' on the street? Not to mention resolving the misunderstanding and renewing the affection. ”

Ding Mei'er's memory has always been very good, not to mention that she always remembered the hatred of being humiliated back then, and when she first entered the palace, she still wanted to take revenge on Xu Nian'er after gaining power. Later, when she recognized Shu Yao and recalled the events of the year again, how could it be so easy to forget, as soon as Da Qiang said it at this moment, that scene was suddenly clearly reflected in her mind.

"You...... Are you the ......? Ding Mei'er pointed at Da Qiang, her face was incredible, the tall and heroic young general in front of her was the thin and patched little boy back then?

"Niangniang can't recognize Weichen, always remember what Weichen said back then, 'Don't bully young people to be poor', right?" Daqiang saluted according to the rules and turned to leave. (To be continued......)
