Chapter 616: Alliance
After the emperor left, the Queen Mother sat alone in the courtyard for a long time.
Mama Hong looked at the expressionless appearance of the queen mother, and sighed in her heart, why is the marriage of Prince Chen so bumpy.
She had to hurry up and let someone go to King Xiao's mansion, so that Prince Chen could quickly find a way to settle this marriage, otherwise there would be many dreams at night.
Who knew that as soon as she had this thought, the Queen Mother looked at her faintly, "Red girl, close your mouth a little tighter." ”
Mama Hong's scalp tightened, "Queen Mother, the slave will never say half a word." It's just that...... Dowager...... Lord Chen's ......"
The Queen Mother waved her hand, "No one is allowed to meddle in this matter, even the mourning family doesn't care." Since the emperor has moved his mind, he will not easily dispel it. Whether that girl can get together with Chen'er depends on her own creation. ”
The palms and backs of her hands are full of meat, she hurts Xiao Jingchen, but she also hurts the prince. The crown prince is the next emperor, and he is responsible for the rise and fall of the Great Zhou, and the girl's current identity is really important, and she doesn't know how to choose.
So she decided to leave it alone and let God decide.
The emperor will not directly order Lin Ruan to marry the crown prince, so this matter can only depend on God's arrangement. If that girl really has a husband and wife fate with her grandson, she can come together after all kinds of setbacks.
The Queen Mother comforted herself, just as this was the emotional experience of two young people.
Seeing the sad face of the Queen Mother, Mama Hong sighed in her heart, hoping that the red thread of the old man could be tied more strongly.
Although the prince is also very good, her heart is on the long side. Back then, she liked the eldest princess as her daughter, and she was even more pained by Xiao Jingchen, and she hoped that Xiao Jingchen could live happily.
She is a slave maid, she can't think of any long-term great things, compared with the future of the Great Zhou Kingdom, she pays more attention to whether her children from childhood to adulthood can get what they want.
It's a pity that she is in the palace and can't leave the palace at any time, otherwise she must go to the temple to put incense on the Buddha and beg the Buddha to bless the Lord Chen and the Lord of Fuyou County to be able to marry smoothly.
From this moment on, this matter has become Mama Hong's heart disease, and she has been holding it in her heart and unable to let go.
The Queen Mother is not there.
The next day, Chonghua Palace.
Concubine Liu Guifei listened to the words from the palace people, and immediately called the third prince, "Your father has already moved the idea of giving Lin Ruan to the crown prince, how is the progress on your side?" Why hasn't there been any news for so long? ”
When it came to this matter, the third prince also had a headache, "Lin Ruan is different from an ordinary girl, and ordinary means are useless to her. ”
Because he was scared by the rat at the banquet of the Shen family, the three princes had a headache these days.
Yesterday, I finally wanted to take the opportunity of the Gu family's banquet to go to the door to congratulate, but who knew that Lin Ruan was taken away by Shen Guogong first, and he chased him to the door of the Shen family, but he was told that the master of the house had something to do and did not see the guest for the time being.
In order to make a good impression, he was not good at putting the prince's score, so he had to go back to his house first. But the only thing that made him feel more comfortable was that Xiao Jingchen was also blocked out of the door.
Concubine Liu Guifei was very dissatisfied with the efficiency of the third prince, "It's not easy to start on Lin Ruan's side, you can find a way from the Gu family." The Gu family's title has come to an end, and they have been looking for a way out all these years, but none of them can get their hands on the straw bales in the family. If it weren't for the ancestral shade, I wouldn't know what it would have been like now. I believe that as long as you throw an olive branch, you will definitely hold on to it over there. ”
When the third prince thought of the Shen family that day, the attitude of the three brothers of the Gu family towards him had a measure in his heart, but he was not completely optimistic, "Mother, with the Shen family, Lin Ruan's marriage is estimated to be counted if the Gu family said it." ”
Liu Guifei smiled, "The role of the Gu family is great, at least, they will help you create a lot of opportunities." As long as the benefits you promise are enough, what can't they do? A Shen family, compared to their vital interests, is nothing. ”
The third prince smiled and nodded, "Mother, my son knows what to do, you wait for my good news." ”
Lin Ruan didn't know about these things in the palace, so he only stayed in the Dingguo Mansion with peace of mind, accompanying Shen Guogong and Old Madam Shen to have fun.
Shen Guogong wanted to know more about Lin Ruan, so Lin Ruan personally pushed the wheelchair and took the second elder out to her county lord's mansion, and went to her several shops in Kyoto for a walk.
Old Madam Shen hadn't been out for several years, but fortunately, there was not much change in Kyoto, and Old Madam Shen didn't feel strange, but she was very interested in introducing Lin Ruan to what things in the store were what Shen liked during his lifetime.
Shen Guogong was not interested in these things, but was very curious about the distillers placed in Lin Ruan's mansion.
Lin Ruan has a better understanding of Shen Guogong and Mrs. Shen, and the relationship between the three of them is deeper.
On the other side, the third prince brought gifts and boarded the gate of the Gu family under the banner of visiting Old Madam Gu, which made the Gu family very excited.
This is the prince, and he is still very favored, and he has many supporters in the court. If they can climb the friendship, if the three princes can ascend to that position in the future, will their Gu family still need to worry about the title?
So the Gu family hurriedly asked the daughters in the family to dress up and deliberately frolic everywhere in the house, creating an innocent appearance. Even Gu Man and Gu Ru, who were still in confinement, were released, but Gu Xin'er herself was still locked up in the ancestral hall kneeling and copying Buddhist scriptures.
The third prince's flattery to the Gu family's bottomless line made it a little greasy.
Although there were many officials who wanted to stuff their daughters into his house before, they were not as exaggerated as the Gu family. After all, they are all people with heads and faces, and if you really want to do it too obviously, it will attract laughter. So those who want to cling will only let the most prominent girl in the family come out and show up, if he likes it, he will naturally bring it up.
And the Gu family pulled out all the girls like this, looking like they were at his disposal, which made him have the illusion that he was shopping around the building.
However, this also confirms Liu Guifei's words, the Gu family really wants to climb up, and it has reached the point where they can't care about face. In this way, it will be easier for me to work with them.
So the third prince also directly clarified his intention, "I came today to discuss cooperation with the Gu family, this prince wants to marry the five girls of your family, and needs your help." As long as you can let this prince get his wish, the title of the Gu family, this prince will definitely help you keep it. In the future, it is not necessary to pay for it. ”
The Gu family is a group of people who are very good at camping, and they immediately understood the meaning of his words. This is to make it clear to them that they will take the heir in the future! is also assuring them that as long as they can marry Lin Ruan to him, it will give them benefits in the future.
Without much consideration, the Gu family nodded and agreed.
