141 The Queen Mother talked with Jiuniang Mu Xiaorao returned to Yizhou privately
"Oh, Mrs. Wei, what are you doing? Don't bother the slave and maid, the slave and the maid can't stand your gift, Madame, please come with the slave and maid. ”
When I arrived at the inner hall, it was still the same festive, the lights were colorful, and the inner hall faintly emitted the smell of some sandalwood, and the Empress Dowager Hui was sitting on the couch with joy waiting for Zheng Jiuniang.
Yongshou Palace was surprisingly noisy, and the children were playing desperately in front of the Empress Dowager Hui.
The Empress Dowager Hui was not only angry, but was very willing to let these children play in front of her, perhaps after the first emperor left, there were not many heirs in the palace, and there were countless mutilations, and the Empress Dowager Hui felt the happiness of Chenghuan's knees for the first time.
Festivity is created by people, Zheng Jiuniang just entered the palace, and she also felt very cordial, and she was in a trance for a while, where is this or what deep palace compound? This kind of laughter and laughter is really similar to ordinary people's homes, and Zheng Jiuniang feels very cordial.
walked to the Empress Dowager Hui, and still saluted as always, but this goodbye was a reunion a few years later.
When Zheng Jiuniang first saw the Empress Dowager Hui in a royal banquet, she looked at the Empress Dowager Hui from afar, and Zheng Jiuniang clearly remembered the appearance of the Empress Dowager Hui back then.
"The grass people asked the Queen Mother."
Although Zheng Jiuniang is the biological mother of General Xiao Zheng, she has not been rewarded, has no title, and wants to be called a grass people, but the Empress Dowager Hui actually helped Zheng Jiuniang up in person.
"Jiuniang, please get up, you will be the mother-in-law of the lord of Shujue in the future, and you can't run away from the reward and identity, so don't be commensurate with the grass people in the future."
Zheng Jiuniang got up slightly along the hand of the Empress Dowager Hui, her eyes were indeed a little apprehensive and confused, and she glanced at Aunt Yufang, and Yufang responded: "Mrs. Wei, just follow the name of the person who came to the palace before." ”
When General Wei was there, that is, when General Wei was valued by the court.
"Courtiers, thank you Empress Dowager."
"No courtesy, no need to be restrained in the Yongshou Palace, looking at the frolicking children in the inner hall, the headquarters is worse than your Hualiu Lane!"
Empress Dowager Hui's ridicule is like a child, and the implication is that she can afford the life of Hualiu Lane.
Zheng Jiuniang was very moved.
Next, Empress Dowager Hui is straight to the point.
"Shu Jue is the most beloved child of the mourning family, the day of the wedding, is the most important thing in the children's lives, I am afraid that the mourning family can not send the county lord to Hualiu Lane, to set the county lord's wedding day in the palace, from the road of Hualiu Lane along the imperial road in Kyoto, until the palace, Jiu Niang see this is right?"
It stands to reason that how the marriage is arranged, it is naturally the Empress Dowager Hui who has the final say, no matter how it is arranged, there is no doubt, but the Empress Dowager Hui chose to discuss with Zheng Jiuniang.
I'm afraid that if I don't do something good, I will be hated by the future mother-in-law of the little county lord Shujue, and I won't be able to live peacefully in the house in the future.
When an ordinary woman marries, she is naturally taken to her mother-in-law's house, but the arrangement of the Empress Dowager Hui is to let the little princess get married in the palace, although everything is decided by the Empress Dowager Hui, but Zheng Jiuniang still has a trace of doubt, this daughter of the King of Changnan, choosing to hold a wedding in the palace, will it not be in accordance with the etiquette system?
Empress Dowager Hui continued to explain: "Jiuniang don't worry, the mourning family said yes, although the emperor is in Sha country, but this little thing, the mourning family can still do the master, but Shujue's wedding, the mourning family is really happy, and wants to clean up the Changhuai princess's mansion in Kyoto, take this as one of the dowries, and give it to the newlyweds, these two can be regarded as having their own place." ”
Saying this, Jiu Niang's face flushed, although in Hualiu Lane, the business of her own tavern can be regarded as thriving, but after all, it is not Mrs. Wei who used to be the scenery, it is just a small person in the market.
Speaking of the small thatched house in his own house, it is far from the Princess Changhuai Mansion in the mouth of the Empress Dowager Hui.
Besides, Zheng Jiuniang has always had a plan in her heart, that is, to marry the family's adopted daughter Xiao Qin to her son, which has the meaning that fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and she is also reluctant to give up on Xiao Qin's family and is unwilling to let go of her hand.
What the Empress Dowager Hui said was obviously very subtle, giving Zheng Jiuniang enough face, and it was normal for the Empress Dowager Hui to investigate the family background of Zheng Jiuniang and Zheng Jian'an, how could the noble county lord live in such a low and simple thatched house?
Zheng Jiuniang didn't care much about what the Empress Dowager Hui said, but she was a little embarrassed.
Empress Dowager Hui handed over the dowry list and the royal invitation list to Zheng Jiuniang one by one.
Looking at the lengthy dowry list, Zheng Jiuniang couldn't help but tremble a little, this royal financial strength is really not something that ordinary people can imagine, this is just the dowry of the Queen Mother alone, not to mention the Changnan Palace, the royal family's relatives, the princess Meng's maternal grandfather, if you count them all, it is really a sky-high figure.
From this point of view, the Zheng family is really climbing the dragon and the phoenix, and the power is attached.
It was something that Zheng Jiuniang couldn't think of in her life, but now it is going to become a reality, this royal little county lord is going to marry into her family and become her Zheng Jiuniang's daughter-in-law, it's really unbelievable.
The disparity in financial resources is too great, one in the sky and the other in the ground, and it is inevitable that King Changnan will not agree before.
Zheng Jiuniang is naturally not as spicy as before in front of the royal people, the royal rules are strict, she doesn't dare to talk much, just about the little county lord marrying into the Zheng family......
"The Queen Mother, the lord of Shujue County married my son Jian'an, it is really wronged, this is ......"
Empress Dowager Hui smiled and continued to tease: "Jiuniang, where are you wronged? Although she is the daughter of the royal family, Shu Jue is lazy and lazy, has a willful temper, a tendon, and can't look at people's faces. ”
It was the first time for the palace maid Yufang to see the Empress Dowager Hui say this about her granddaughter, and she couldn't help but laugh, and the rest of the palace maids and eunuchs also laughed.
Then there was another conversation, and the words were even more affectionate. Zheng Jiuniang couldn't help but sigh that the image of Empress Dowager Hui was completely different from that when she killed fruits and did not smile.
When Aunt Yufang sent Zheng Jiuniang out, she also said: "It's not that our queen mother's old man loves the little county lord too much, and the little county lord will follow her whatever the queen mother does, not to mention that this is a great happy event, the county lord is married, and the queen mother must be doing her best." ”
After Yufang sent Zheng Jiuniang away, she immediately returned to Yongshou Palace, and the children here were all dismissed by the Empress Dowager Hui, and the Empress Dowager Hui looked serious, and Yufang stepped forward.
"Queen Mother, the person is gone."
Empress Dowager Hui's eyes flashed: "Gone?" ”
"Yes, Mu Xiaorao is no longer in the palace early this morning, and according to the guards' speculation, it is likely that he left the palace while it was lively these days...... Also, King Yi's corpse is gone. I'm afraid that I was brought back to Yizhou by Mu Xiaorao. ”
"What!" Empress Dowager Hui slapped the table, "This Mu Xiaorao, what is the request of the mourning family not to satisfy her?" is so willful, if you want to tell the mourning family, how can the mourning family not let her go back to Yizhou, and go back so secretly, if the emperor knows that King Yi is dead, he will be angry, I am afraid he will not come to Kyoto to participate in Shujue's wedding. ”
Empress Dowager Hui's chest gasped: "What an unruly girl, the mourning family really shouldn't be soft-hearted, and promised Mu Xiaorao these messy conditions, if it was like before, the mourning family would have cut off her head a long time ago, how could it be this girl's turn to do nonsense!" ”
Yufang hurriedly responded: "Don't be angry, the Queen Mother can send Dayuan Xian to the Yizhou Palace to find out, if Princess Zhihe stops Mu Xiaorao before she knows about it, it will be the best." ”
Empress Dowager Hui waved: "Go quickly!" ”
The palace maid Yufang was about to leave, and the Empress Dowager Hui suddenly thought of King Changnan: "Wait, let Ziwei be informed of this matter, if the death of King Yi has been known by the Yizhou Palace, then ask the prince to choose another auspicious day to marry a daughter." ”
"Got it, Queen Mother."
The news soon reached the palace, and before that, the princess was shocked by the decision of the king of Changnan to marry his daughter.
"Lord Wang, aren't you unwilling to marry Shu Jue? Why did you suddenly change your attention? ”
The princess was full of smiles, obviously she already had the answer in her heart, but she still teased the prince.
King Changnan replied stubbornly: "The queen mother has an order, and I dare not disobey." ”
"When did you listen to the Queen Mother's words like this, the prince has really changed dramatically."
King Changnan was helpless, and he couldn't find a reason to talk back when he was teased by the princess. The princess was about to continue to ask, but the little girl outside reported that the father-in-law of Yongshou Palace had come.
"Hurry up, please."
King Changnan was very respectful to his father-in-law from Yongshou Palace, which caused the princess to chuckle again. Who knew what the eunuch of Yongshou Palace said made the prince and princess both surprised.
"Lord, the Queen Mother asked me to inform you that King Yi had passed away in Yongshou Palace a few days ago, and before he died, he saw the last person of the eldest prince and left, and now the palace guard Mu Xiaorao took away King Yi's body, it is estimated that it will be Yizhou Palace, the Queen Mother said, this matter must not be known to Princess Zhihe.
"That's natural, what else did the Queen Mother say.?
The prince is obviously a little anxious, although King Yi is the brother of the prince of Changnan, but in comparison, the life of his daughter Huangfu Shujue is more important. The prince would rather hide King Yi's death first.
The eunuch of Yongshou Palace responded: "The Empress Dowager also said that Da Yuanxian has been sent to Yizhou to visit the situation, if the matter of King Yi has been known to Princess Heyi, then please ask the prince to quickly choose another auspicious day for the marriage of the lord of Shujue." ”
King Changnan frowned: "I know, you went back to the queen mother, tell the queen mother not to worry, the marriage will be arranged by the king." ”
The princess comforted the prince: "Don't worry, the marriage has been decided, and it will not be sooner or later, so let's change the time." ”
"Princess, don't you know how important Ziquan is to Princess Heyi, since the death of Concubine Ling, their brother and sister have depended on each other, and they have suffered a lot here in the queen mother, and now the queen mother has hidden the death of King Yi, and she will definitely blame the marriage of the little princess."
