Chapter 285: Dark Horse
"Let's discuss it right now."
The Queen Mother walked up, and behind her, the palace maids were surrounded by Yu Dan, the first beauty in Wuzhou. There are so many beauties in the harem, spring flowers and autumn moons, summer and winter fragrance, and Yu Dan still shows his own unique pure beauty and beauty among these beauties, which is not stained in the back house of the deep palace, which immediately attracted their attention.
Princess Dongping and the Queen Mother have always been close, and after saluting with everyone, she immediately grabbed Yu Dan's hand and smiled with the Queen Mother, "Is this really Yu Guangyuan's daughter?" Seeing that Yu Guangyuan's beard was terrifying, he couldn't have imagined that his daughter was so delicate and lovely. It is said that daughters are like fathers, but I look at them like mothers. ”
The Queen Mother made a gesture to split Princess Dongping's hand, "Go, go, your son has married the most beautiful daughter-in-law, what are you doing as a mother-in-law, still pulling someone's unmarried daughter?" It's okay to be like a father or a mother, the most important thing is to let you like it and not let go. He smiled and shouted to the women, "There are still sons in the family who have not married serious wives, but come to me and line up." It is not possible to horizontally and vertically Dongping Shizi, even if Dan'er is willing, the mourning family will never be willing, and it is not allowed in the main room. ”
Princess Xiping came up with a smile and grabbed Yu Dan's other hand, "My son, sit down with me quickly, and I will send you the prince of Xiping." ”
Princess Dongping didn't let Yu Dan go, "My son, don't believe Princess Xiping, the eldest son of her family, she can't do it, otherwise why hasn't she sent her son out yet?" ”
The Queen Mother tsk, "I can still open my eyes when I live to this age, but fortunately, it is our woman's family chatting, if you let your husband listen, you will have to jump in anger, and you obviously want to marry a daughter-in-law for your son." How did you send it out? Especially the eldest son of King Xiping, give him away, and who will pass the throne of Xiping to in the future. ”
Princess Xiping smiled, "Pass it to Sheng'er, he is better than his brother, he especially listens to me, you can't blame me for being biased." ”
The three of them talked lively, and everyone listened to it lively, but Lan Sheng noticed that Duomi, who had always been concerned about Hyunsheng. There was no pursuit today. Turning a deaf ear, Hehyun leisurely, a good sister, is happy. Duomi is also sixteen years old, in her opinion, she is still young, but in Da Rong, she is the golden age to talk about marriage. And Hyun-seung's marriage. said that it was delayed by Hyun Sai, who had not yet decided on the princess. It's better to say that he himself is happy to be trapped later. He was originally quite interesting to Jade. Probably knowing that it was impossible, he quickly gave up.
Could it be that Duomi also gave up Hyunsheng? If this is the case, it will be a loss for Hyunsheng. Duomi is a rare lady in the imperial capital Jiao who maintains her true temperament. And it's a smart one, suitable for Hyunsheng, a tall man who doesn't like to use his brain.
Concubine Xian came to help the Queen Mother to take a seat, and at the same time made up for it, "Sister Duo, you just want to fight, it's better for me to compete with the Xiping Mansion on your behalf, and my son didn't marry a serious daughter-in-law." ”
Prince Na Liangdi's wedding banquet, Concubine Xian said this and did this, and she didn't take Nanyue Clan in her eyes at all. Although the National Teacher's Mansion is the mother's family, no one came to attend the banquet of the in-laws, but the sixth princess is the eldest lady of Nanyue, so many people want to see Lan Sheng's reaction. saw that she was quiet and had no expression fluctuations.
Of course, Lan Sheng could hear Concubine Xian's arrogance and rudeness towards her family, but Concubine Xian was by no means the most unhappy person when she spoke like this. She looked at the ladies who had put their daughter's name on the crown princess's election list, and all of them had a bad face, especially Mrs. An. The feud between Qin Tianjian and the Great Master is the discord of the I Ching faction, but Jing Peng's intervention in court politics in the past two years has threatened An Xiang, and with the marriage of Jing and Duo, An also urgently needs to use his daughter to find allies. And what ally is better than royalty? After An Wenpei lost the six princesses in a row, the princess of Dongping, and the princess of Xiping, the crown princess was her last chance to fight for the dignity of the family.
Lan Sheng could feel their urgency, but he really didn't think so, probably because she didn't rely on her parents' wealth and status to obtain the capital of her own life, so even if she couldn't keep the title of the sixth princess, it was not a bad situation.
Lan Sheng was very skeptical that An Wenpei was so active in fighting for her cousin, but whether she knew what kind of person the prince was, and whether she could really be satisfied with the wealth she had received after becoming her husband. However, I can't control it.
Concubine Xian laughed and wanted to compete with Princess Xiping for Dan, but the Queen Mother knew it in her heart, and said to the quiet Lan Sheng, "Lan Sheng, Dan'er already lives in your house, so why don't you two sit at a table, so as not to make these mother-in-law elders frightened, they can't stay for a day, and they will quarrel with the mourning family to go home tomorrow." Not only did he relieve Yu Dan's siege, but also relieved Lan Sheng's siege, let her go back to her seat, and no longer have to be Concubine Xian's little daughter-in-law.
Lan Sheng led Yu Dan over.
Princess Xiping looked at Yu Dan's back quite seriously, and she was indeed very satisfied, but she didn't say anything more, as if it was just a joke just now, and when she sat down, she didn't have the slightest interest in Dan. The more you care about precious things, the less you can't. Her eyes swept over Concubine Xian, secretly hoping that the results of the crown princess's election would be announced earlier. She had a good relationship with Princess Dongping in private, and the two exchanged glances, and Princess Dongping understood.
"The Queen Mother just said that she wanted to discuss the matter of the crown princess?" Princess Dongping opened this mouth, so as not to arouse the suspicion of Concubine Xian.
The Queen Mother nodded, "Taking advantage of the fact that all the ladies are here, I want to announce the last three candidates for the crown princess." However, if you feel embarrassed, you can wait for the official decree to be issued. ”
When the women heard it, it didn't hurt to say anything, please let the Queen Mother inform you first.
Concubine Xian also said, "If you don't say that the old man will make a decision, if you don't say it, it will tickle people's hearts, where can you wait for the decree to be issued?" Let me hear which three daughters are, in case they are all my favorites, but what if they are all my favorites? ”
"I like it, and I can't let the prince marry it." The Queen Mother was silent, and Concubine Xian and everyone laughed, but the eagerness in their eyes was undiminished.
So, the Queen Mother named three people, namely Zhang Mingfang, the eldest daughter of Zhang Hua, the eldest daughter of Zhang Hua, the eldest daughter of Prime Minister An Cheng, and Jing Mei, the second daughter of Jing Peng. There was no surprise in the first two, but the appearance of Jing Mei, the second daughter of Jing Peng, surprised everyone. Jing Peng and his wife Bai have only one daughter, that is, Jingqiu, and no one knows that he also has a daughter.
When Mrs. An Xiang heard her daughter's name first settled down, and then heard Jing Mei's name, she was shocked in her heart, and she asked everyone's questions, "Jing Daren also has a daughter?" ”
Bai's expression was calm, "Jingmei and Jingqiu are half-siblings, she was born in the Jing family, raised by her grandparents, and now she is also of marriageable age, I will let people bring you to the imperial capital after the New Year." She has a quiet temperament and has never lived in the house, so not many people have seen her. ”
Concubine Xian said that it was chosen by the Queen Mother, but how could she not be blind, and it was revealed in one sentence that she had seen that Jingmei, "It's good to have a quiet temperament, don't look at the men who are standing up outside, there are always some children at home, and they need to be quiet and steady." And the prince is much older, like Jingmei, he is more mature and sensible than girls of the same age, and it is easy for couples to cultivate relationships. ”
When Mrs. An heard it, what did she mean, this was an internal decision for Jingmei? The face is displeased.
The Queen Mother said, "The mourning family and the virtuous concubine feel that the three girls have their own advantages, but after all, they are the prince's concubines, and they have to be selected by the prince himself." Maybe the prince likes to be lively and active, or he is knowledgeable, it all depends on his own wishes. After the general election is held on the 15th, what the girls need to prepare, the Department of Internal Affairs will send an official document to inform them, and the mourning family will also send palace people to teach them the etiquette of the main hall. At that time, in addition to the mourning family and the virtuous concubine, the concubine will also help us get by. The crown prince is the prince, and the position of the crown princess is heavy, I think you all know very well, so we will also be impartial and choose the most suitable one to be the crown princess. ”
Mrs. An was not relieved by this, "The Queen Mother, other courtiers can not say it, but the Jingda family chose to send a daughter, compared to the girls sent by our families, is it not appropriate?" ”
The Queen Mother said, "This time, the mourning family did not say that it must be a concubine." ”
Bai Shi spoke, "Mrs. An doesn't know, and Jingmei is not a concubine. When I was young, I married a wife in my family, and later left the family to join the family and marry me as a wife. My sister is extremely filial, and has refused to enter the capital many times, staying in the house to take care of the elderly, and the adults and I also respect her very much and are grateful to her, so her only daughter is also my second lady of the Jing family. ”
No one knew that Lord Jing had married two wives, and this kind of thing could not be opened by the Bai family, so it was difficult for Mrs. An to pick on it again. They know that Qin Tianjian once had a wife, and then married Bai as a flat wife, and after this incident, there is a bitter truth about throwing away the bad wife, and Jing Mei is younger than Jing Qiu, obviously the innocence of the young is unforgettable, I am afraid it is not as simple as the concubines of the Jing people to add blockage to the Bai family's heart.
However, in Lan Sheng's opinion, it is Bai's chess that is one step higher and can be open-minded. She smiled coldly because of this, laughing at the fact that some people, in order to grasp power, can even exchange their own wounds for wealth and glory. In any case, the crown princess will be produced among the three surnames of Zhang, An, and Jing, and may also be the future descendant, and will climb to the extremely rich from now on. It's just that after reaching the top, you have to go down the mountain.
After lunch, the Queen Mother was going to take a break, and Concubine Xian didn't want to hold the banquet until the evening to become a formal wedding banquet, so it was implied that everyone could disperse.
Lan Sheng couldn't wait to leave quickly, but the Queen Mother asked her to go out of the palace with Yu Dan, and not long after she walked out, she let the two princesses of Dongping and Xiping shout to stop, Princess Xiping talked to Yu Dan on the side, and Princess Dongping gossiped with her.
She didn't care so much about it, but she felt weird when she saw that Princess Dongping asked Boyan next to her to go first, and Boyan really left indifferently. She has always been running out, and she doesn't have much contact with the ladies and ladies of various families, plus Hyun Jinfeng is not at home, and she rarely moves around in the palace, but Boyan is a person in the master, so the circle is different, there are very few meetings, and the communication is zero, I only remember that the relationship between these two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is still very good.
"You girl with sharp eyes, you can see that we are not happy." Princess Dongping's eyes are sharper-
Today's first shift, the second shift will be later.
