Chapter 189: Marriage Together
The emperor had a black face, and others naturally didn't dare to step forward and touch the emperor's moldy head and ask the queen mother what she said to him.
It's just that after the Queen Mother and the Emperor broke up unhappily, Du Yanwan was called to Cining Palace by the Queen Mother.
Du Yanwan does not have much impression of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother does not like her or hates her in the memory of the Ninth Princess, she has not seen the Queen Mother much since she was a child, the Queen Mother went to Qingxin Temple to eat the Buddha when she was ten years old, and she went for several years, and sometimes she did not come back during the New Year's Festival, so Du Yanwan had little impression of the Queen Mother.
However, she has heard a lot of rumors about the Queen Mother, all of which say how ruthless and unscrupulous the Queen Mother was when she was young.
The emperor and the queen mother are not related by blood, everyone is in love, the queen mother single-handedly put the emperor on the throne, but not long after the emperor took the throne, he gave up the rights in his hands, and took the initiative to go to Qingxin Temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and did not return all year round.
Everyone only dared to speculate in private, and did not dare to say it blatantly.
It is said that the queen mother actually did not want to let go of power after supporting the emperor to ascend the throne, but wanted to make the emperor her puppet, but she did not expect to be countered by the emperor, and in desperation, she had to go to Qingxin Temple to practice.
However, this is also a rumor, and the credibility is not clear.
After hearing these rumors, Du Yanwan also had a little bit of a foundation for the Queen Mother, the relationship between the Queen Mother and the emperor seemed okay on the surface, but in fact she was like a stranger with a better relationship.
After she cleaned herself up, she took Xiaoshuang into the palace.
In Cining Palace, the Queen Mother was already waiting for Du Yan to come over in her palace.
Mu Chaochao beside her lowered her eyebrows, stood aside obediently, and pressed the queen mother's forehead with good-looking fingers, "Niangniang, is this strength okay?" ”
The gentle voice sounded in the ears of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother felt that her whole person was a lot more relaxed.
"Hmm." She snorted a note nonchalantly from her nose.
"Chaochao's craftsmanship is really getting more and more exquisite, if it weren't for you, the mourning family wouldn't know how to relieve the headache of the mourning family."
"If the Queen Mother likes it, the court can press it for the Queen Mother every day." Mu Chaochao said in a crisp voice.
When I was young, I was used to seeing those conspiracies and calculations, and when I was old, the Queen Mother liked the girl who was clean and didn't have so many hearts, and in the Queen Mother's opinion, Mu Chaochao was very much in line with her preferences, so she treated Mu Chaochao very much.
Hearing this, the Queen Mother disagreed and said: "That's not good, Chao Chao is a girl, and she always has to get married, how can she stay with my old wife for the rest of her life?" ”
The Queen Mother's words made Mu Chaochao's little face blush slightly, "The Queen Mother ......" she said a little embarrassed, causing the Queen Mother to make fun of her for a while.
The two were talking and laughing, and when it was very lively, there was news from the palace outside, saying that Du Yan had come late.
The smile on the Queen Mother's face disappeared in an instant, and she said coldly, "Let her come up." ”
The palace maid went down to invite Du Yanwan up.
After a while, Du Yanwan's figure appeared in front of the Queen Mother.
"The courtiers see the Queen Mother, the mother is a thousand years old." Du Yanwan bowed her head and saluted respectfully, and on the surface, it didn't make people find any fault.
But the Queen Mother obviously came to find fault with Du Yanwan this time, and her critical gaze turned around Du Yanwan's body and then fell on the clothes she was wearing, her brows twisted, and she said unhappily: "What are you wearing, I don't know if Aijia doesn't like red?" ”
Du Yanwan's body trembled when she heard this, but she didn't raise her head.
She was wearing something that Xiaoshuang had specially inquired about outside, so she was asked to wear it, and they all said that the Queen Mother liked red, but in front of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother said that she didn't like it.
Du Yanwan understood that either the Queen Mother was deliberately finding fault, or someone was plotting against her behind her back.
She originally thought that it didn't matter, it was just to enter the palace to see the Queen Mother, and there was no need to change herself for the Queen Mother's preferences, but Xiaoshuang prepared all the things that Du Yanwan wanted when she entered the palace, and was determined not to let Du Yanwan show a little bit of dissatisfaction with the Queen Mother.
Du Yanwan didn't care about this matter at all, so she let Xiaoshuang go.
Unexpectedly, the things carefully prepared by Xiaoshuang were disliked by the emperor.
"It's the courtier's negligence, the courtier's will pay attention next time." Du Yanwan said, looking very respectful.
The Queen Mother snorted coldly when she heard this, "Sit down." ”
"No." Du Yanwan said, and sat down on the chair next to her, her feet were already a little numb, even if the Queen Mother didn't let her get up just now, she would have to get up.
There is a limit to a person's patience, she can tolerate the Queen Mother being presumptuous on her for a while, but she can't tolerate the Queen Mother always bullying her.
As soon as Du Yanwan sat down, he felt an inquiring gaze fall on his body, and the owner of the gaze opened a pair of clear and innocent black eyes, and when he saw Du Yanwan looking over, he also showed a sweet smile to Du Yanwan.
It looks more harmless.
"I called you into the palace today, because I heard that you and the Sixth Prince are about to get married, and I want to ask you if all the things you should prepare are ready?"
"If you go back to your mother, the things that should be prepared, the people in the house are already preparing."
"That's good." The Queen Mother said, her eyes swept over Du Yanwan's body, and she spoke again: "You are also about to become the royal daughter-in-law, the royal rules have not been learned yet, you will bring Mama Qiu back today." ”
As soon as the words fell, a low-eyed grandmother stood up.
"Mama Qiu is an old man in the palace, many concubines who have just entered the palace are where she learned the rules, after you bring her back, she will supervise you to learn court etiquette, so as not to make you lose the face of our royal family."
The Queen Mother looked high when she spoke, but Du Yanwan pursed her lips.
Let her learn the rules of the palace?
The Queen Mother may not know it, she was the princess with the best etiquette in the entire palace, and even the most demanding grandmother in the palace had to praise her for her excellent manners when she came to her.
However, Du Yanwan would not tell the Queen Mother about this, she just nodded.
It's just to bring this grandma home, even if she wants to learn from herself, she has to see if she has the ability.
The Queen Mother saw that she was quite honest, and her mood eased slightly.
"There is one more thing to call you into the palace today."
"The Queen Mother, please say, as long as the courtiers can do something, the courtiers will do their best."
"That's the case, when I was in Qingxin Temple, the mourning family had already made the decision, and made a marriage contract for the dynasty and the sixth, it stands to reason that the sixth should marry the dynasty as the concubine, but the emperor didn't know about this matter, so there was a marriage contract between you and the sixth, the mourning family meant to let the dynasty marry with you, what do you think?"
The Queen Mother said with a majestic gaze on Du Yanwan's body, in her opinion, Mu Chaochao is the daughter of the King of Nanyang, and she is also an upright county lord, so naturally she can't be small, but the emperor has taken the lead in giving Du Yanwan and Qi Yunxian an engagement, she has no way to cure it and retreat this time, so that Mu Chaochao and Du Yanwan can marry Qi Yunxian at the same time.
When the time comes, she prepares some more dowry for Mu Chaochao, everyone can see who is respectful and who is inferior, after entering the Six Princes' Mansion, she will support Mu Chaochao behind her back, wouldn't it be easy for Mu Chaochao to manage the backyard of the Six Princes?
The Queen Mother thought very well, but what she had to see now was that Du Yanwan disagreed, she agreed, but if she didn't agree, she would inevitably get into trouble.
It would be better for her to get acquainted.
The Queen Mother thought about it, and looked at Du Yanwan's gaze with a little threat.
If two female colleagues marry a husband happens to any woman, that woman will be unhappy, but it really doesn't matter to Du Yanwan.
She doesn't have the Six Princes in her heart, marrying the Six Princes is just forced by the situation, and it doesn't matter to her how many beauties there are in the backyard of the Six Princes.
The Queen Mother wanted to do this, but she naturally didn't have any opinion at all.
However, Du Yanwan's silence made people mistakenly think that she disagreed, and a layer of blush suddenly appeared on Mu Chaochao's white little face, "Queen Mother, it's not good to do this, Brother Xian has already had a marriage contract with the Lord of Mingzhu, and Chaochao doesn't want to destroy the relationship between them." ”
Mu Chaochao said with an embarrassed expression on his face, but his big and round eyes were full of entanglement and heartache.
The Queen Mother immediately felt distressed when she saw it, "Silly Chaochao, this should have been your marriage, but it's all because the mourning family forgot to tell the emperor for a while, so he made the scene like this." ”
The Queen Mother glared at Du Yanwan as she spoke, as if she regarded Du Yanwan as a villain who loved to steal people's things.
Du Yanwan felt innocent after being glared at, and before she could start talking, had they already begun to replenish so much in their hearts?
If it was an ordinary woman, she would definitely be angry by this scene in front of her, the Queen Mother said these words in front of Du Yanwan, and she didn't save Du Yanwan at all, and Du Yanwan snatched what should have belonged to Mu Chaochao.
It seems that Du Yanwan should quit, but Du Yanwan has no feelings for the six princes, and she has no feelings for who he wants to marry, so at this time, she just feels that creation makes people.
If she could, she wouldn't want to marry.
Mu Chaochao's eyes flashed in a place that others couldn't see, and then she showed an innocent expression, a pair of big and round eyes seemed to be able to speak, looking at Du Yanwan innocently and pitifully, "Sister, I don't want to rob you either, my sister won't blame me, right?" ”
Du Yanwan's thoughts were pulled back by Mu Chaochao's voice, and when she heard this, she said, "Naturally not." ”
Mu Chaochao showed a happy expression on his face when he heard this, "Really? ”
She was a little excited, but she was a little afraid that Du Yanwan would say that this was just coaxing herself, so she looked at Du Yanwan timidly.
