Chapter 165 Unwilling
In the evening, Su Jingyuan came back drunk and went directly to the old lady's Mingxin Hall.
"What's going on?" Seeing the excitement on Su Jingyuan's face, the old lady sat up straight and asked.
I ate a lot of vine cake in the afternoon, and I didn't eat much in the evening, only drank a bowl of white porridge.
When Su Jingyuan came in, the old lady was rubbing her stomach, still in a panic.
Su Jingyuan didn't notice the old lady's inappropriateness, and waved his hand to drive the subordinates out.
Then he approached the old lady and arched his hand: "Mother, Uncle Lan has made an appointment with his son tonight." β
"Oh? How so? β
The old lady's eyes flashed, which was not surprising.
If you don't explain it, you can't say it.
"He said that it was the emperor's intention to do so, so Lan Guifei had no choice, but Lan Guifei said that when the time came, let Ying'er be the side concubine."
"Side concubine?" The old lady's face changed, and she was a little dissatisfied.
The daughter of the dignified and mighty Marquis Mansion is a bit embarrassing to be a side concubine.
"Hey, of course it's more than that, as long as we can ensure that the second prince sits in that position, Ying'er can replace the Wang family!"
"Is this what Uncle Lan said, or did you imagine it?" The old lady asked, glaring.
Her son is good, but she is a little naΓ―ve, I don't know if people have really said this, so I think I think it.
"Mother, Uncle Lan told me personally!" Su Jingyuan was a little aggrieved, he was such a big person, could he still not understand the words?
"But the Wang family is also good, after all, he is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and he has been the chief examiner of the Autumn Festival a few times, and the old power of the protΓ©gΓ© is not small, so when it comes to that time, can he still not contribute? With the same effort, it will be difficult to take that position......"
The old lady hesitated.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu is also an old treacherous and cunning, and he somehow got on the boat of the second prince.
In terms of succession, most people will choose the eldest prince.
The Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion is only because after the death of the old Marquis of Weiyuan, the power plummeted, and the old lady came forward to marry the Queen Mother, after all, she had a good relationship with the Queen Mother in this year, and she helped the Queen Mother so much back then.
Su Jingyuan has been the right political envoy all the way in the DPRK and China over the years, although it is not as high as the position of his son Su Muze's Ministry of Industry Lang Zheng Sanpin, but the political envoy is in charge of the emperor's order, understands the situation, investigates the official documents of customs defense, and reports to the subjects of the Quartet to tell the truth, and complains about the grievances, etc., which is really a key position.
These are inseparable from the help of the Queen Mother's family in the past few years, and they are self-heating in the first series.
What's more, now there is a Su Muzhe in the third room, not to mention the talent of leading the army to fight, and he also married the daughter of Chun Yu on the tip of the prime minister's heart, and the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion is also hot now.
Of course, the queen mother's family has grasped these connections, and marriage is the best choice, and there is a scene of the second prince saving the beauty of the hero in the city.
After all, the woman's heart is on him, so she will help him even more desperately, but unfortunately it fell short at the last moment.
As soon as Zhu Yawen was given to marry the third prince, Concubine Lan knew that Concubine De had made trouble, but she didn't know that such a framing at the cost of sacrificing a life was just a simple way for the second prince to marry Su Ying?
Concubine Lan was also puzzled, but in the end, it caused them trouble, and Uncle Lan got out of the palace and blocked in front of Su Jingyuan's carriage.
Since you can't lose these connections, it's best to make it clear early, marriage is the best way, but it's not necessarily the only way.
For example, Su Jingyuan didn't tell the old lady, when he turned around, Uncle Lan would send a woman over, with her eyes cut water, her eyebrows trimmed, her shoulders sheared, her waist if she was about to be soft, and she was weak... Boneless.
Uncle Lan squeezed his eyebrows, and his voice fell on the last two words.
In the small tea room, the fragrant tea was thick, and Uncle Lan and Su Jingyuan looked at each other and smiled.
"Mother, even if it's not the queen's position, it's not bad to be able to sit like Lan Guifei!"
Su Jingyuan was a little anxious, he was still thinking about what it was like to be the emperor's father-in-law.
The old lady glared at him: "Something that has no interest!" β
Su Jingyuan didn't dare to speak, he had always been afraid of this stern mother,
The old lady was silent for a long time, and then ordered: "Call Sister Ying over to me." β
A maid agreed and went to the second room.
Su Ying had just returned to the courtyard, and she didn't know why her grandmother called her again, so Jiao accompanied her back to Mingxin Hall.
The old lady glanced at Jiao's and said, "It's just right that you are here too, Sister Ying is not young, you can say these words in person." β
So the old lady said what Su Jingyuan had just said again.
Jiao's face turned white, and he opened his mouth to retort: "Old lady, how can Ying'er be a concubine?" β
On the side, Su Ying hung her head quietly, unable to see the expression on her face clearly.
Su Jingyuan glared: "What kind of concubine, that's the prince's side concubine!" What happened to Sister Ying? The concubine of the servant's family also sat as a side concubine for the eldest prince. β
"How can that be the same? The servant of the ministry is just a petty official of the third grade, sir, you," Jiao opened his mouth, remembering that Su Jingyuan's official position had only changed from the third grade, he stumbled for a moment, and changed his words: "Master, you are a dignified Marquis of Weiyuan." β
Speaking of which, how can a small servant be compared?
The concubine of the servant of the ministry made a side concubine for the eldest prince, which was to fly on the branch and become a phoenix, but Su Ying was a down-and-out phoenix not as good as a chicken.
After all, she is also a noble girl of the Hou Mansion, and compared to the Wang Qiang of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites, she is not much worse!
The two of them fought over each other, and the old lady hesitated and looked at Su Ying: "Sister Ying, what do you say?" β
Su Ying gritted her teeth, she hated the second prince in her heart, so she gave her the position of a side concubine lightly, and she still asked someone to tell her.
Is it so difficult to meet her, apologize, or personally ask her to be his side concubine?
Su Ying was a little sad, and her voice trembled lightly: "Grandmother, I have to think about it." β
"Hey, good boy, it's okay if you don't want to, after all, you are the noble daughter of our Hou Mansion, and you want more noble sons-in-law."
The old lady naturally loved Su Ying, but she was also dissatisfied with this matter, so she whispered to her and asked Mama Gui to send her back.
At night, Su Ying lay on the bed and tossed and turned, on one side was the affectionate gaze of the second prince, and on the other hand, she was imagining the wedding of the second prince and the girl of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites, and her heart was sour and difficult to sleep.
Outside the house, three or two cicadas chirped, and the moonlight sprinkled on the ground like water.
Su Ying simply put on a dress and got up.
There was also a sachet of white plum with an indigo background in the corner of the drawer under the bed, and Su Ying put the one she treasured and the man in the rockery that day, as well as the sachet that Chun Yuyan threw to her today.
Where were the three identical sachets placed quietly, but Su Ying felt ironically tight.
The first time we met, the falling sachet was like a flower in her heart, the low voice of the man in the rockery, and the tall figure made her admire it very much, but the third sachet knocked her back from heaven to hell at once.
Su Ying is unwilling!
