Chapter 484: The Joker (Second Watch)
In Cining Palace, the four princesses and the county lord Yuegui, who returned from defeat in the imperial study, couldn't hide their disappointment.
The Queen Mother glanced at them silently and sighed in her heart. These two granddaughters are too well protected by her, and they think things are too simple. However, it is precisely because of their simple nature that she takes more care, and she does not deliberately cultivate their scheming or anything, but she is afraid that the tiger will not become an anti-dog, and it will really become a four-like, it is better to preserve the original well-behaved and innocent nature.
In fact, it is also a blessing to be able to live a simple life, for example, don't even think about a person like the Queen Mother herself who marries into the royal family, otherwise it will be a dead body in a few days, and if you don't get it right, it will affect the entire family.
Fortunately, the identities of the two girls are extraordinary, and in the future, they will find a reliable husband, a mother-in-law who is not too complicated, plus their strong father, and the brother-in-law who protects their short-term favorite sister, presumably no one dares to give them anger. Moreover, although these two girls are simple, they are not stupid, on the contrary, they are very clever and react quickly, and the grandmothers and palace maids around them are also self-selected by her, the imperial mother, and none of them are easy to fool.
Xia Shuwen and Ke Yixiu are two excellent candidates who are difficult to find with lanterns in the eyes of the Queen Mother, not only are she very satisfied, but the emperor and Prince Yong are also very fond of it. The Queen Mother believes that with such two grandsons-in-law, even if she closes her eyes in the future, she doesn't have to worry about the two granddaughters.
However, these two girls didn't know what to think, and they wanted to marry Xia Shuwen together.
The Queen Mother grew up watching the four princesses and the lord of Yuegui, and when they pouted, glared, or smiled, she knew what they were thinking. Naturally, I can see that they haven't opened their minds yet, and they really don't know much about anything like love. all these years. The two of them just need to leave the palace. The most visited place is the Lianghou Mansion. It's normal to be more familiar with books and have more liking than other boys of the same age, but it's definitely not to the extent of "not marrying if you're not a king".
Therefore, they insisted on marrying Shuwen together, just because they simply wanted the two sisters to be together all the time and didn't want to be separated.
Seeing that the two of them looked dejected, like frosted eggplants, the Queen Mother couldn't bear to talk about them anymore, not to mention that the sisters of Lord Zhen and Lord Min were still here at this time.
What made the Queen Mother frown even more. The lord of Zhen County brought Lord Min to come for the sake of family affairs, and the family affairs of Lord Min County. And the candidates they fancy are Xia Shuwen and Ke Yixiu.
Xia Shuwen is the sister of the lord of Zhenjun, after all, such an excellent double champion, no one with a school-age girl will let it go. And Ke Yixiu was mentioned by Prince Qi and Princess Qi in her letter, saying that Prince Qi was also very satisfied. Prince Qi thought more, he was worried that with the emperor's suspicious personality, he would not agree to Xia Shuwen as his son-in-law in Prince Qi's mansion.
Sure enough, they mentioned Xia Shuwen just now. The Queen Mother waved her hand: "Your imperial uncle has decided to marry Shuwen and the four girls, and he has already agreed with the two marquis' mansions." It is impossible to change. ”
Lord Zhen confirmed the rumors, except for secretly sighing that he did not make a foundation for his sister here with the Queen Mother before the scientific examination, he had nothing to do. Whether it is her status or her favor in front of the Queen Mother, Min'er can't compare with the four princesses, not only the four princesses, but even Qi Yueling, the lord of Yuegui.
When their sisters came back this time, they wanted to compare Qi Yueling to them, who didn't know that their father was the most favored son of the imperial grandmother? It's a pity that it's almost a year, no matter how much Min'er pleases her, how she fights for her, the imperial grandmother didn't mention the matter of changing Min'er's jewelry and jade title, let alone promoting her to the lord of the county.
In fact, the sisters of the county lord of Zhen are the daughters of Prince Qi, and they love the house and Wu, of course the queen mother wants to favor them, otherwise she will not propose to take the county lord Min into Beijing many times.
It's just that Lord Min disappointed her too much, she was too careful, but she was not smart enough, and she had no sense of proportion; She doesn't have any particularly outstanding show-off capital, but she is blindly rebellious, just because she is the royal lord and the daughter of Prince Qi?
In the queen mother's opinion, the girl's family is either simply simple and kind, so that people are willing to take care of you, or you have to be smart and cautious, don't calculate that others don't succeed but expose yourself, or even be countercalculated. The Queen Mother likes Shu Yao very much, because she thinks Shu Yao is the most perfect combination of the above two.
Lord Zhen is more optimistic about Xia Shuwen, if he can marry the two marquis' mansions, it will be beneficial to both his father and himself who are also married in Beijing. But now...... can only settle for the next best, Ke Yixiu is indeed an excellent candidate.
Who knew that as soon as the three words "Ke Shaoxia" were uttered, the imperial grandmother frowned again, could it be that this also has a master? Which princess is it for? Or is it just ...... The lord of Yuegui?
The Queen Mother nodded: "Do you know why Mrs. Beijing Hou has not proposed to Ke Yixiu all this time?" is because she had an agreement with Yue'er's mother in her early years. It's just that Prince Yong's mansion doesn't have a housewife, and after waiting for Fuxing to enter the door, I'll talk to Fuxing, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. "The Queen Mother deliberately said directly that the people of the Beijing Marquis Mansion had an agreement with the former princess, but she didn't want to have another branch, after all, Lord Min was also her granddaughter.
Lord Zhen was surprised, but it made sense to think about it. She also asked people to inquire, it is said that there are many people who want to marry the Beijing Marquis Mansion over the years, but the Beijing Hou Mansion is stunned by various excuses, and has not discussed a kiss, so the original crux is here. She had also heard that Mrs. Beijing Hou and Princess Yong did have an extraordinary friendship back then.
Lord Min, who was pretending to be well-behaved and shy on the side, was unhappy, and the fourth princess was left alone. Why did Qi Yueling rob her of her favorite husband? She is the granddaughter of the Queen Mother and the niece of the emperor, right? Why don't they distinguish between relatives and relatives, and favor Prince Yong's daughter?
But she is a noble lady in the boudoir, so she can't understand how to rob her relatives, right? I can only twist the silk handkerchief in my hand fiercely. At this moment, seeing the fourth princess and the county lord Yuegui coming in with a depressed face, she couldn't help but speak: "My sister is about to congratulate the two sisters, what's wrong with my sister?" A look of displeasure. "Don't you like the family affair that the imperial grandmother chose for you? Of course, she didn't ask for this last sentence. She hasn't been stupid yet, and the marriage decree has not been given, and as soon as the imperial grandmother finished speaking, she proclaimed that the imperial grandmother didn't like her even more?
Although the fourth princess and the county lord of Yuegui were simple, they also knew that the county lord Min had always been envious, jealous and hated of them, and they would not have any good intentions or good words, so they naturally would not say anything more to her, but just smiled reluctantly: "It's nothing, the queen mother refuses to let us touch her two superb Yao Huang." After speaking, he saluted the Queen Mother, greeted the Lord of Zhen, sat beside the Queen Mother, cleaned his hands and ate snacks, and stopped talking, but the rules and etiquette could not find any fault, and the elegant and noble demeanor of the princess and the lord of your county was shown everywhere.
The two of them have always had a tacit understanding, and they no longer looked at Lord Min, which made her suddenly feel like a clown. (To be continued......)
