Chapter 173: Approaching
After pondering for a while, the queen mother said: "Huaibo, Qu Miaoling and Wen Qingqian are both good, but from the perspective of this palace, you should still marry Qu Miaoling as your wife, she is the daughter of the county lord of Huiling, and you should also know the emperor's thoughts about the county lord of Huiling." β
Of course, Situ Huaibo knew his father's thoughts.
"What's more, Qu Miaoling's grandfather guards the border passes, is an important minister of the court, and the emperor also trusts him very much, although he has the right to soldiers and horses, but in the end it is too far away from the capital, and it will not endanger the emperor's position, you married her, it is undoubtedly a reassuring pill for the emperor, and the emperor will not feel that you have the intention of snatching the throne, isn't it better for you to slowly figure it out?"
What the queen mother said made sense, and when he thought about it carefully, he also felt that it was so.
Although he and Wen Qingqian are in love with each other, but now Prime Minister Wen is a popular person in front of the emperor, what if he marries Wen Qingqian, and the emperor is estranged from him? He finally got to where he is today, but he didn't want to lose it easily.
"What the queen mother said is very true, listen to you."
Then he left Fengyi Palace.
When he walked out of Fengyi Palace, Situ Huaibo turned his head to look back, and a touch of yin owl appeared in his eyes.
The queen ostensibly thinks about herself, but in fact she wants to secure her position.
However, the two of them are now grasshoppers on a rope, and no one can do without anyone, and the queen doesn't dare to do anything to herself.
Thinking like this, Situ Huaibo strode away.
Isn't it just marrying Qu Miaoling? He just marries.
It just so happened that the girl's figure and appearance were what he liked.
On the way home, Situ Huaibo had been thinking about how to approach Qu Miaoling in his heart.
In the past, when she talked to Qu Miaoling, she always ignored herself, and sometimes rejected herself directly. But to Situ Huai, Qu Miaoling is different, could it be that he wants to use the face of the third emperor brother to get close to Qu Miaoling?
Prime Minister Wen was safe and sound, but Wu Dehou felt extremely uncomfortable and even more indifferent to Wen.
Jiang Jingjing was pregnant, and Yuan Qiongyu even used her fox charm to hold Wude's throat to death, and stayed in her yard all day long.
From time to time, Yuan Qiongyu would stab himself twice, and whenever he couldn't help but teach him a lesson, Wu Dehou would appear in time, glaring at himself angrily and not saying anything, but also reprimanding himself.
came and went a few times, and the Wen family was also honest, and she didn't dare to provoke Yuan Qiongyu again, but she was extremely angry in her heart, and she couldn't wait for Yuan Qiongyu to die immediately.
But it was always a wish, and Wen had no choice, so she could only go back to her house to ask her brother for help.
At the first sight of Wen Hongzhi, Wen went straight to the point.
"Now my sister is in a dilemma in the Hou Mansion, there is a pregnant Jiang Jingjing in the front, and Yuan Qiongyu who is competing for favor, you want to think of a way, how can you make these two people disappear in front of your sister?"
Wen's face pleaded, but Wen Hongzhi sighed.
"Brother's good sister, you can't bear this little thing, my brother's matter is the most important thing, I found out that your good husband has been tracking down Qu Ting's affairs, if he really finds out, we will be finished from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when the time comes, Wu Dehou will not be able to deal with you as much as he wants."
When Wen heard this, he was shocked.
Indeed, compared with her little things, Wen Hongzhi's matter is more important.
In case the Prime Minister's Mansion is in addition to things, she herself will be even more isolated, and when the time comes, without the support of the prominent mother's family, even if she is bullied, no one will avenge herself, and Wu Dehou will not be afraid of Wen Hongzhi.
At that time, she didn't know what her situation in the Hou Mansion would be like.
Of course, Wen knew the priorities, "Brother, what do you want your sister to do?" β
"Come here with your ears."
Wen Hong chattered a few words in Wen Rou's ear.
On the second day, Wen handed a prayer note to the palace.
She wants to meet the queen.
"See the Queen." Mu Wanshu was quite familiar with Wen Rou, and hurriedly asked her to get up when she saw this.
"How has the queen been in the palace all these years?" Sitting on the embroidery pier, Wen immediately said.
The queen couldn't help but sit up straight, she knew that the Wen family had always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and there must be something to do when she came to find herself today.
"Thanks to you, it's not bad."
"Aoyagi, you take everyone down, I have something to say to Mrs. Hou." Aoyagi leaned over and should have left with someone.
There were only two people in the huge Fengyi Hall.
"Tell me, what are you looking for in Hongu?" Mu Wanshu got straight to the point.
"Queen Mother, what do you mean by this, it's okay that the courtiers can't come to talk to you yet, after all, Dan Nian-"
"Wen Rou, shut up in this palace!" Seeing that the Wen family was about to reveal the past, the queen mother shouted.
"Hehe, what is the queen anxious about? The courtiers just want to say that the hairpin you gave to the courtiers back then has been kept very well. β
As he spoke, Wen touched the hairpin on the top of his head and motioned to the queen to look at it.
When Mu Wanshu saw it, the color of her face changed instantly.
"Wen, you!"
Threats, naked threats.
She knew that there must be nothing good about Wen Wen's arrival.
"Queen Mother, but you have smashed something, can you let the slave maid go in and tidy it up?" Aoyagi whispered outside.
"No, this palace has something to say to Mrs. Hou, you all stand far away." Aoyagi retreated farther away with the people, and it was not until the footsteps could not be heard that the queen said, "What do you want to do?" Mu Wanshu almost gritted her teeth.
"The queen is wrong, how dare the courtiers let the queen do things for the courtiers?"
"Wen Rou, don't take an inch. Don't forget, if it weren't for the mediation of the palace, where would you have been able to marry into the Hou Mansion? As a merchant girl, I'm afraid you won't even be able to enter the threshold. Mu Wanshu was furious.
Wen also accepted it when she saw it, after all, she was the queen's mother, and she couldn't force it too much.
"The courtiers do have something they want the queen to help with."
You say, "If you want to help you with something, so that Wen won't go out and talk nonsense."
"It's very simple, the courtiers want the queen to help, and let Wu Dehou stop chasing the matter of Qu Ting."
The queen's pupils were shocked, these days, the matter of Quting was very troublesome, Prime Minister Wen was implicated, and the emperor was even more furious and ordered a thorough investigation.
At this time, where did she dare to touch the mold, and she still intervened.
"Wen, don't open your mouth."
"Really? Could it be that the queen mother forgot how the county lord of Huiling died in the first place? The threat in Wen's eyes deepened, and she stared at Mu Wanshu tightly, for fear of missing one of her facial expressions.
Sure enough, as soon as her words fell, the facial features on Mu Wanshu's face became tangled. Looking very pitiful, Wen Rou laughed in her heart.
What about the queen mother, it's not that she has to be restrained by herself.
"Niangniang, the courtier's mouth has been disobedient recently, if it is said in case, I hope the queen will not blame the courtier."
Mu Wanshu's teeth itched, and her long nails poked into the flesh.
"Okay, I promise! But Wen, don't forget, this palace is not so easy to bully. β
"Queen Mother, don't intimidate the courtiers, the courtiers are timid, this timidity is small, and the mouth will be disobedient again."
After saying that, the Wen clan withdrew from Fengyi Palace.
Mu Wanshu sat on the phoenix chair, the light in her eyes was extremely fierce, looking like she was about to kill.
"Aoyagi, go and call Situ Huaibo, this palace has something to tell him."
Although Mu Wanshu hates the Wen family very much, since she said it, if she can't do it, then the Wen family will definitely do what she says and reveal what she has done, and then her position as the queen will definitely not be stable, and maybe the emperor will implicate her own family.
When the time comes, she will really be beaten with chickens and eggs, and there will be nothing.
But fortunately, now Situ Huaibo is the person next to her, she asked Situ Huaibo to do it, and he didn't dare to refuse, even if something happened in the future, she could push it all onto Situ Huaibo, and it had nothing to do with herself.
Thinking about the queen mother's mood in this way, her back leaned on the phoenix chair.
Soon, Aoyagi came with someone.
"This palace wants you to solve Wu Dehou, and ask him not to investigate the matter of the loss of Quting disaster silver again."
Hearing Mu Wanshu's words, Situ Huaibo was also stunned.
"Butβ
"No, you have to do it." There was no doubt in the queen's tone.
When Situ Huaibo came out of Fengyi Palace, there was still doubt in his eyes.
When did the queen also care about this matter.
After the Wen family returned home, they heard that Qu Miaoling had gone to Jingkanghou Mansion.
"Second cousin, how are you doing? I heard my aunt say that it was no big deal. β
At this moment, Min Tianzeng was half-lying on the bed, and when he saw Qu Miaoling coming in, his eyebrows and eyes were filled with joy.
"Why haven't I seen you for many days and still get polite, my body is almost good, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to follow to the hunting ground last time."
Qu Miaoling nodded, the weather was still a little hot in the morning, and Min Tian didn't cover the quilt.
When Qu Miaoling saw it, his eyes were not good.
"Second brother, why don't you cover the quilt, what if you get cold?"
With that, she immediately walked over and covered him with a thick quilt.
Min Tian looked helpless, "It's too hot, I-"
All of Min Tian's explanations melted into Qu Miaoling's eyes.
"Okay, okay, I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I admit my mistake, I repent, don't be angry, okay?"
Min Tian hurriedly coquettish, quite a big man, and he looked quite pitiful.
In fact, Qu Miaoling was angry, but she was just a little uncomfortable in her heart. Min Tian didn't take care of her body like this, and she was even more worried.
"Let me tell you, second brother, if you don't take good care of your legs, you will be lame in the future, see how you still find a daughter-in-law."
"Hey, hey, even if it's to find a daughter-in-law, I have to take care of my illness!"
Min Tian showed weakness, and Qu Miaoling put out the fire and sat down in front of the bed.
"Miao Ling, but speaking of which, Wen Qingruo has come several times, and his eyes look at me as if he is looking at braised pork." Min Tian rubbed his arm as he described, as if that terrifying look was right in front of him.
"What, Wen Qingruo is here?"
Min Tian pouted, "Not only is she here, but she has also come twice." β
Thinking of Wen Qingruo's thoughts about her cousin, she hurriedly asked again: "Second cousin, you don't like other girls, what are you doing with others, you seem to be suave!" β
was taught a lesson by his sister, Min Tian's eyes immediately widened, "Miao Ling, what are you talking about, when did I hook people and not let them go?" It's clearly herβ"
"Okay, I know, I just want to see if you have any other meaning to Wen Qingruo."
Min Tian was relieved at this time, "Even if it's a temptation, you can't say that I seduce other people's little girls, how bad." β
"I was wrong."
The brother and sister, who confessed their mistakes to each other, laughed at Mrs. An who was standing outside the door.
"What are you two brothers and sisters talking about, you apologize to me, and I can't make amends to you."
"Nothing, nothing."
Mrs. An just stayed for a while and left, Min Tian pulled her sister's sleeve and said nervously: "Actually-I have someone I like." β
This time it was Qu Miaoling's turn to open his eyes wide.
"When? How did I not know? Whose girl? "When it came up, there were three questions, and Min Tian's brain was dizzy.
He just wanted to open his mouth to talk to Qu Miaoling, when someone suddenly came outside to deliver a message, saying that someone from the palace was coming.
"The Imperial Palace?"
The brother and sister glanced at each other, and both saw doubts in each other's eyes.
"Min Tian, this princess has come to see you!"
Before the person arrived, the voice arrived.
Qu Miaoling listened attentively, and heard the identity of the person who came.
The person who came walked in, his steps were hurried, and he looked very anxious.
