Chapter 36 Decision
"What my uncle said is the same as if I only make trouble and can't come up with serious ideas." Yulin said with a smile. The queen's expression was slightly stagnant before she said to the emperor: "Yulin, this girl, is really not a child now!" ”
The emperor, who had just sat down, smiled when he heard this: "Time is like water, and when I came together this morning, I found that there was white hair on my sideburns." The emperor's words were filled with a sigh, but the empress did not answer immediately, but thought about it habitually before saying, "Bixia is in its prime. ”
The empress's words made the emperor smile faintly and beckoned to Yulin: "Come, come, tell me your idea, look at your idea, how to make your aunt embarrassed." The emperor's words made the queen's eyebrows frown slightly, the emperor would definitely agree, and besides, the emperor came over too coincidentally, could it be said that he had already known. The queen's eyes couldn't help but be covered with a layer of haze, and she looked at Yulin's eyes a little unkindly, but this unkindness disappeared quickly, and she tried to make the smile on her face more natural: "Yulin, this kid, is messing around, saying that she wants to choose a son-in-law like the story of the Empress Dowager of Zhou, and moreover, she will personally preside over it." ”
When Yulin heard the queen's words, a smile appeared on her lips, and then she said to the emperor a little coquettishly: "Uncle, this is a lifelong event for my niece, can't you choose one you like?" Yulin's eyes were clear and bright, and the queen had already rushed before the emperor was about to speak: "Bixia, although my daughter is concerned, this is always ......"
"It's just a little thing, just say yes." The emperor opened his mouth and really made a decision, which made the queen feel dissatisfied in her eyes, but this dissatisfaction did not reach her face, and then it quickly disappeared, and the queen said to the emperor: "But the ministers outside? ”
"If the ministers love to mumble, let them mumble, King Wu is such a daughter, can't he choose a favorite horse? Besides, although this matter is a bit uncourteous, it is not a big deal. The emperor made a final decision, and the queen had no choice but to respond, even if she had a reason: "Since Bixia said so, the concubine can only obey the order." ”
The emperor sighed and said to Yulin: "I have granted you your wish, but the horse is your own choice, and when the time comes, you are not allowed to cry in front of me." Yulin smiled with crooked eyebrows, saluted the emperor, and said to the emperor after getting up: "This is natural, my niece's own life will naturally be good." ”
Emperor Haha laughed and waved his hand, "Go ahead." Yulin should have retreated, and the queen waited for Yulin to go out before saying to the emperor: "Bixia, you feel so sorry for Yulin, and the concubine also knows, but how can the heavenly family have family affairs?" ”
"Heavenly family affairs are world affairs, but they also have to be divided into big and small things. The princess chooses the horse and the prince chooses the concubine, the former can be a little more polite, the latter must follow the rules, I know that you abide by the etiquette, but sometimes, what does it matter if you spoil the children? ”
The queen's eyes drooped, and then she got up and said, "Bixia said so, and the concubine can only obey the order." The emperor stood up: "Don't worry, what do the ministers want to say, I will let people say, this is Yulin's soft grinding and hard bubble to promise, the queen does not approve, and it will not ruin your reputation for virtue." ”
Zuihou's words made the queen's heart skip a beat, and then sent the emperor out, and when the emperor left, the queen said to the attendants beside her: "Go, go and ask who told Bixia the news of Yulin's entry into the palace?" ”
The queen's words were full of anger, and the person who could be held in the palm of his hand can't continue to hold it now? There was a flash of color in the queen's eyes, and her hand touched the armrest of the throne, and the delicate phoenix head decoration was gently stroked by the queen, which made the queen feel a lot less angry, but it was not all.
The attendant has already returned: "Niangniang, Bixia is reviewing the folds, and Princess Yongle who listened to it entered the palace, so she said that she hadn't seen Princess Yongle for a long time, so she came over, and the slave maid looked at it, I was afraid that it was a coincidence." ”
Coincidence? The queen looked at her attendants, and the smile on her lips was cold: "In this court, is there such a coincidence?" The palace maid knew that she had lost her words, but she couldn't remedy it, only kneeling on the ground, the queen glanced at the palace maid with some annoyance, and suddenly sighed lightly, this feeling of not being able to grasp it was really bad, but there was no way to remedy it.
After a long time, the queen said to the palace maid: "Get up, you let people go out of the palace and tell the fifth nephew, just say that the Duke of Yongle will choose his own son-in-law and let him ...... what will he do?" The queen couldn't speak, and then said, "Remember, this is a chance for zuihou." ”
The palace maid should be, get up and go out, the queen sat back on the throne tiredly, supported her forehead with her hands, the prince and herself gradually separated, and after the daughter got married, she couldn't often enter the palace, as for the husband, he was not alone. After many years in the palace, it seems that there is no one to rely on, but he has to hold on. It's a pity that few people can know about their hard work, the queen sighed loudly, watching the sunlight shining on the gold bricks gradually retract the light, and the hall gradually dimmed, even if there are palace people to light the candles, it is not so bright.
"That's great!" When Zhu Wei'an heard the queen's words from the palace maid, he was as happy as a traveler in the desert meeting an oasis, and said to the palace maid: "Go back and tell the mother, just say, this time, I will not let you down." "The palace maid should be gone.
Zhu Wei'an walked around the house, and he couldn't stop the joy in his heart, I don't know what Yulin is going to take the school exam? Is it poetry or martial arts, or physiognomy, or both? But no matter what it is, you have to study it well. So Zhu Wei'an took out a book, planned to read the poems well, and then put it down, or take advantage of this time to practice martial arts, so as not to make a fool of yourself?
"Fifth son, third lady is here." Just when Zhu Wei'an was about to go out, he heard the maid's report, Zhu Wei'an stopped his steps to go out, and said to his sister who walked in: "Third sister, did you hear it?" My aunt just sent someone to say that Yulin was determined to choose her own horse, and my aunt asked me to prepare well. ”
"Brother, that's what I'm here for." When Miss Zhu San sat down, she didn't forget to pull her brother to sit down: "Brother, according to my opinion, you should give up on this matter." "Stop? Zhu Wugongzi's brows were furrowed very tightly: "Weishenme wants to give up?" To be qualified to go to the princess to say that you want to run for the horse, your life experience and appearance are indispensable, in addition to me, how many others are there in the capital? ”
"But Princess Yongle won't choose you, otherwise, she would have already chosen you at the original flower viewing banquet, and she wouldn't have come up with such an idea. Brother, I know that you have a deep love for Princess Yongle, but Princess Yongle doesn't have you in her heart, brother, why do you want to humiliate yourself and become a laughing stock? ”
"Shut up!" Miss Zhu San's words made Zhu Wei'an furious, he slapped the table when he stood up, looked at his sister and said, "What do you know?" What do you understand? Just keep saying I'm going to humiliate myself, I ......"
"It's because I understand that I stopped you. Brother, according to our family background, marrying the noble family is chosen at random, why are you obsessed with Princess Yongle? Miss Zhu San was not frightened by Zhu Wei'an, and still persuaded her brother with her eyebrows locked.
"You know what? Don't you know that this is my aunt's wish? ”
"Of course I know, but brother, Princess Yongle is not the one who allows her aunt to rub it flat and round. Brother, don't you see that your aunt and even the prince are separated from her. "Prince, the most noble of all Zhu Wei'an's cousins, the future son of heaven.
Zhu Wei'an sat back in the chair and looked at his sister, his face turned pale and his eyes were red: "Where do you see it, and why do you say that?" Sister, even if you are a daughter and a person who is married, but you are still surnamed Zhu, and the Zhu family is prosperous, which is only good for you and no harm. ”
"So brother, you should go and have more contact with the prince, instead of just remembering that your aunt loves you." This sentence pierced all of Zhu Wei'an's momentum like a needle, he lowered his head, and his voice was not too loud: "The prince and I are not so close, and he is still aunt, after all, he is the prince's mother." ”
Miss Zhu San looked at her brother, and a burst of sadness flashed in her heart, perhaps, there are only one or two generations left in the scenery of her own family, but fortunately, she is always the one who has to marry. Thinking of having a second uncle who could drive his wife and son-in-law out, Miss Zhu San smiled bitterly, many things, or they were already doomed.
Yulin wanted to follow the story of the Empress Dowager of Zhou to choose a son-in-law, and it soon spread throughout the capital, and some courtiers wrote to the emperor, saying that there is no such thing as Yunying's unmarried woman choosing a son-in-law by herself? Heaven should set an example for the world. The emperor looked at the recital, and just criticized, I can't help Princess Yongle's plea, you have to object, or go to King Wu's mansion to talk to King Wu?
At the mention of King Wu, the courtiers were speechless, after all, King Wu is famous for loving his daughter, this matter can be officially edicted, then King Wu also agrees, I really want to go to King Wu to reason, I am afraid that I will be thrown out of the house by King Wu. Besides, although this matter is not in line with etiquette, it is inevitable that a princess will be pampered.
So no one dared to go to King Wu's mansion to find King Wu to reason, and the day for Yulin to choose a son-in-law was also set, on the seventh day of the seventh month, the auspicious day for the grandson to marry his daughter. "You, this time it's not a big disaster!" King Wu took out a copy of the recital and threw it in front of his daughter, which the emperor ordered to be sent to King Wu's mansion after reading those recitals. Yulin looked at those twists and turns, and stuck out her tongue: "Oh, how can these ministers even take care of the emperor's son-in-law, at this time, shouldn't they be in charge of the big water in the south of the Yangtze River and the strong wind on the seaside, how to get a disaster?" King Wu beckoned his daughter to come over, and knocked on his daughter's head: Li Yulin walked to his father's side, and King Wu took out another piece of music, opened it and looked at it casually, "There are so many princesses, who chooses to attach a horse, and you don't toss so many tricks."
