Li Shang raised his hand angrily again, but fortunately, Bai Yitian quickly stopped him.

Li Jia was swirling in her eyes with tears, her eyes were red, and her voice trembled: "Father only knows how to beat me!" ”

Bai Yitian stood in front of Li Jia and persuaded, "Cousin-in-law, let's go to dinner with me first." ”

After Qi Tong saw the master's intentions, he hurriedly pulled Li Jia out of the front yard.

Li Jia couldn't stop crying along the way, and Qi Tong was worried that something would go wrong, so she had to send her back to Yuming Garden in person.

"Jia'er go back and have a good rest, don't think about it." Qi Tong comforted.

Li Jia nodded slightly and walked into the courtyard.

Although Bai Yitian had a headache about Li Jia's marriage, he was still able to persuade Li Shang at this time.

After Bai Yitian's persuasion, Li Shang agreed that his daughter would stay in the capital for some more time.

On the second day, Sima Chengwen took advantage of entering the palace to ask for peace for the Queen Mother, and expressed his feelings for Li Jia to the Queen Mother.

Empress Dowager Tong frowned, puzzled: "Now that your father and mother are in the capital, why do you have to come to the mourning family after getting married?" ”

If the king and princess of Zhennan were not in the capital as before, she could have come forward for Sima Chengwen's marriage, but now......

Sima Chengwen figured out the Empress Dowager Tong's thoughts, and hurriedly explained: "My mother said that the Empress Dowager has been in Beijing for many years and has been taking care of our brothers and sisters, so she thought that if I wanted to get married, I would have to inform the Empress Dowager first. ”

Since it was not feasible to start with his mother, he had to find a way to get the Queen Mother to give a decree to the marriage.

When the time comes, he will hold the queen mother's decree, and his mother can only turn a blind eye.

After all, no matter how noble his mother's status is, she can't compare to the queen mother of this country.

Seeing Sima Chengwen's sincerity, Empress Dowager Tong smiled and said, "I'm afraid your mother is not very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, right?" ”

She has lived in the harem for so many years, how can she not see that Sima Chengwen has other thoughts?

Is it true that she has been a bastard all these years?

Sima Chengwen's face was hot, and he said: "I was seen by the Queen Mother......

In that case, he has nothing to hide.

"That Miss Li is a businessman's family, and her mother is indeed not very satisfied with Miss Li's background......"

Empress Dowager Tong's background is not particularly good, so she has always attached little importance to her background.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that you have anything else to hide from the mourners? Don't mourn your family and give you a marriage, and then make your mother unhappy. ”

She and Princess Zhennan have known each other for many years, and they know Princess Zhennan's temper very well.

If it's just a bad background, it's not impossible to stay by Sima Chengwen's side as a concubine.

Unless Sima Chengwen is determined to marry Li Jia as his wife, Princess Zhennan has no need to oppose it at all.

Sima Chengwen was embarrassed by Empress Dowager Tong, but it was not good to explain honestly.

I saw him kneeling under the knees of the Empress Dowager Tong, and said with a sincere face: "I have made a private agreement with Miss Li for life, and my mother is probably unwilling because of this, she thinks that Miss Li is not reserved." ”

Empress Dowager Tong bent her lips and smiled, and said, "The mourning family knows that in addition, that Miss Li is pregnant, but in this way, it is strange that your mother does not think about it." ”

A woman's name has always been important, and Miss Li secretly married a human pearl before she got married, even if it is her own son's flesh and blood, Princess Zhennan may not be happy to see it.

Sima Chengwen's eyes widened in surprise, and he said in surprise: "What did the Queen Mother just say, Li Jia is pregnant?" ”

Empress Dowager Tong shook her head and sighed: "You kid, why haven't you been well-informed about the mourning family!" ”

Sima Chengwen thought that Li Jia was pregnant, and then thought that he had slept with her maidservant, and he felt even more ashamed of her.

It's all his fault, it's his failure to control himself.

In fact, Empress Dowager Tong has long wanted to marry Sima Chengwen, but the object of this marriage has not been determined.

At the beginning, she saw that Sima Chengwen treated Miss Bai San with some meaning, so she summoned Miss Bai San into the palace to observe her character up close, and then decide whether to give her marriage.

But she was still a step slower, she was helping Sima Chengwen to investigate, but she had already made a lifelong agreement with Miss Bai San's cousin.

Since this is the case, she still pushed the boat down the river and decreed that Sima Chengwen would be married.

After Sima Chengwen left the palace, he quickly came to the gate of the White Mansion.

Li Shang was still in Baifu at this time, and when he heard the news of Sima Chengwen's coming, he couldn't wait to whip him away.

It's all this bastard boy who has harmed his daughter!

coincided with the rest of the day, Bai Yitian stopped in front, and Li Shangcai dissipated the thought of whipping people.

Sima Chengwen was in the front hall of the Bai Mansion, and saluted humbly and respectfully: "Bai Shangshu, Uncle Li, I came this time for my marriage with Jia'er. ”

Li Shang suppressed the urge to get up and kick Sima Chengwen, and said in an unhappy tone: "Say, what are you going to do about this?" ”

Sima Chengwen bowed and clenched his fists, not daring to exceed the slightest rule, and said: "Today I have entered the palace to meet the Queen Mother, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will give a decree to marry soon." It's just that the two of you also know that royal affairs have always been difficult to say, and I don't know if Jia'er will be my wife or concubine in the future. ”

Li Shang's eyes closed slightly, obviously not satisfied with Sima Chengwen's words.

Seeing this, Bai Yitian relieved the siege and said: "It's hard work, whether it's a wife or a concubine, but if the queen mother gives you a marriage, I'm afraid no one will dare to gossip about Jia'er in the future." ”

When Li Shang heard that this was indeed the case, of course, his attitude towards Sima Chengwen eased a lot.

Sima Chengwen breathed a sigh of relief, although she didn't see Li Jia in Baifu this time, she was recognized by her father.

What he wanted to say to Li Jia could only wait until after the Queen Mother gave him a marriage.

After all, if they meet as often as before, if they are known, it will definitely damage Li Jia's reputation.

He had to think about his future wife.

He had already thought about it, no matter whether the Queen Mother's decree was to point out Li Jia to him as a wife or a concubine, Li Jia was the only wife in his heart.

If Li Jia is a concubine, then he will not marry again.

In this way, even though Li Jia is not his wife in name, she is actually no different from the princess.

In the future, he will become the king of Zhennan, and then Li Jia can be straightened.

The coming days are long, and there will be a happy day.

Soon after Li Jia got the news, the Empress Dowager's edict spread to Baifu.

She didn't have much hope for the Queen Mother, she originally planned to use Ah Zi's matter to force Princess Zhennan to agree to her passing, but she didn't expect the Queen Mother to come forward.

However, Empress Dowager Tong may not necessarily accept her as the princess.

Sure enough, Empress Dowager Tong's edict only wrote that Li Jia should marry the prince of Zhennan, but did not specify whether she was a wife or a concubine.

The king of Zhennan and the princess were both in the capital, and although the Empress Dowager Tong gave her marriage, she chose to throw back the final decision-making power.

If the king and princess of Zhennan are not satisfied with such a daughter-in-law, they can say that they are concubines, which is not a refutation of the queen mother's face.

That's what the Empress Dowager Tong thought, so she deliberately made such an arrangement.
