The Gao couple understood that Gao Xueliu didn't want them to worry when she said this, and sighed and patted her hands, after all, the holy decree had been made, even if they really regretted it, they couldn't go back. I only hope that the road of King Ning's concubine will not be too difficult.

While they were worried about Gao Xueliu's future, Princess Pingyang was looking at the Empress Dowager Wan who was slowly twisting the Buddha beads with her eyes closed, "Did King Ning take the initiative to ask?" ”

"Not bad!" Empress Dowager Wan half-opened her eyes and said slowly: "Early this morning, Yu Zhi came to see the mourning family, saying that after several considerations, he was willing to marry Feng Lan as a concubine. But at the same time, there is one condition, that is, to marry the daughter of the Gao family as a side concubine and get married on the same day! ”

Princess Pingyang said with cold eyes: "This cheap maid really has the means, and she actually coaxed King Ning to take the initiative to ask for a marriage!" As she spoke, she looked at the Empress Dowager Wan and asked, "So, do you really want her to marry into King Ning's Mansion with Feng Lan?" ”

Empress Dowager Wan stopped what she was doing, took a sip of the tea handed over by Ruoqiu, and said lightly: "The holy decree has been issued, is there any fake?" ”

Princess Pingyang frowned and said, "It's a pity that the Queen Mother didn't marry Liu Zhi for her earlier, otherwise it wouldn't be like this." ”

Empress Dowager Wan sat up straight and said, "When you say that, are you blaming the mourning family?" ”

As soon as she heard this, Princess Pingyang hurriedly stood up and replied: "Zijun doesn't dare, I'm just worried that Gao Xueliu is scheming, and Feng Lan will be bullied by her in the future." ”

Empress Dowager Wan smiled, "Feng Lan is the concubine of King Ning, and she is the niece of the mourning family, who dares to bully her." ”

Princess Pingyang said worriedly: "I'm afraid that open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to prevent." The Queen Mother knew that Feng Lan's child was simple and didn't know how to hide her thoughts. ”

Empress Dowager Wan gathered her sideburns and said indifferently: "This is also a helpless thing, but fortunately, Feng Lan is the concubine, and you have your mother to mention it from the side." ”

Princess Pingyang frowned and said: "Having said that, the concubine can't always mention it by her side. ”

Empress Dowager Wan smiled indifferently, took a plum blossom inserted in the amphora on the table and played with it in her hand, with a slight force, the plum branch broke off at the waist, and the pink plum blossom that bloomed between the branches was shocked by the broken branch and fell on the crimson skirt of the Empress Dowager Wan, "Why do you need to mention it from time to time, look at the right time, one time is enough." ”

Princess Pingyang's brows jumped slightly, a round of fine light swept under her eyes, and the next moment, she leaned down and said respectfully: "The concubine understands, thank you for mentioning the queen mother." ”

Empress Dowager Wan threw the plum branch casually, "But you also have to persuade Feng Lan more, so that she can learn to be restrained." After getting married, after all, it is not as good as Pingyang Palace, especially Yuzhi has no feelings for her. ”

"Concubines remember." After straightening up, Princess Pingyang couldn't help but sigh, "If it weren't for Feng Lan's dead heart, and if King Ning didn't marry, where would there be such a need." After a pause, she remembered something and said softly: "Queen Mother, this Ye Xuemei is still living in King Ning's mansion, what should I do?" ”

Empress Dowager Wan rubbed the corners of her forehead, "For the sake of Fenglan, the mourning family has asked too much about Ning Wangfu. Leave this matter to her to figure it out! ”

Princess Pingyang smiled and said: "Feng Lan has a straight temperament, where do you know this, you still have to ask the Queen Mother to bother more." ”

"You're in a good place." Empress Dowager Wan's tone was as plain as usual, but it made Princess Pingyang's heart skip a beat. She and Empress Dowager Wan are sisters and the people who know her best. Although these words are very plain, they have already detected the dissatisfaction of the Empress Dowager Wan hidden behind the words. Therefore, she carefully considered her words and said, "The concubine is thinking about paving the way for Feng Lan as much as possible now, so that she can go better in the future." ”

"If you can pave it for a while, you can't pave it for a lifetime. The way forward is still on her own. Whether it is Ye Xuemei or Gao Xueliu, it should be regarded as an experience for her. There are mourners watching, and they can't turn the sky upside down. ”

The Empress Dowager Wan has already said this, Princess Pingyang is not good at saying anything, and after owing her body, she said with concern: "The concubine looks tired when she looks tired, but she didn't sleep well last night?" ”

Empress Dowager Wan leaned on the mat and said quietly: "The mourning family dreamed of her mother last night, and she asked the mourning family, why didn't she save Delin, why did she let the emperor order to behead him, and cut off the only bloodline of the eldest brother." ”

Princess Pingyang sighed and comforted: "In the matter of Delin, the Queen Mother has done her best, and he is not angry." The mother must not know the reason, so she will ask the queen mother in a dream. The concubine will go to her mother's grave early tomorrow morning to pay respects and inform Delin of what happened, and I believe that my mother will understand. ”

Empress Dowager Wan nodded, "How is the eldest brother?" ”

Princess Pingyang's eyes flashed slightly, and she said softly: "The concubine went to see the eldest brother yesterday, he has nothing to do, and the queen mother doesn't have to worry about it." ”

Empress Dowager Wan pulled the corners of her lips and drew a touch of coolness, "Is he still blaming the mourning family?" ”

Her words silenced Princess Pingyang, until there was a sound of charcoal in the charcoal basin, and then she whispered: "Delin is the only son of the eldest brother after all, and it is inevitable to be sad to lose it." The Queen Mother gave him some more time, he could figure it out. ”

"I hope so!" Empress Dowager Wan glanced at the delicate and smooth window paper and sighed.

In King Mu's mansion, Gongliang stopped pouring wine into his mouth one by one. Gongliang Yanqing frowned and looked at him, he had never seen the fifth brother drink like this.

Just when Gongliang Yuzhi once again picked up the green jade wine jug and was about to pour wine into the cup, he finally couldn't help but stop it, "Fifth brother is enough, don't drink anymore!" ”

Gongliang smiled silently, "It's said that getting drunk relieves a thousand sorrows, isn't it just right?" ”

Gongliang Yanqing held down his hand holding the wine glass, "That's just self-deception!" ”

"At least you can find peace for a while, what's wrong!" As he spoke, he took the glass with his other hand and drank it down.

Looking at his appearance of borrowing wine to dispel his sorrows, Gongliang Yanqing said bitterly: "Fifth brother, why are you so troubled? ”

"Bitter ......" Gongliang stopped muttering and repeated, shaking his head and saying: "All this is my own choice, why bother." ”

Gongliang Yanqing snatched the wine jug in his hand and sighed: "I know that the fifth brother is angry with Miss Shengye, but in the current situation, it can only be like this." As for Miss Yip...... I don't think she is a utilitarian woman who will do anything for revenge, there may be some misunderstanding, the fifth brother might as well talk to Miss Ye calmly. It's better than ignoring each other like this. ”

Soon after he returned home, he heard the news that the Xingde Palace sent two decrees to give marriage, which were sent to the Pingyang Royal Mansion and the Gaohou Mansion respectively, and on the same day of the tenth day of the second month, the two daughters married Gongliangyu together as the main side concubine.

If Shi Fenglan's will was expected, then Gao Xueliu's intention was really unexpected. He was about to go to King Ning's Mansion to ask what was going on, but he came over before he could go to Gongliangyu, and he didn't drag him to drink. In less than half an hour, one person drank three pots of wine. However, he also took this opportunity to ask about what happened.
