Chapter 149: Marriage

The Queen Mother looked at Lin Zhuohua, who was sitting next to the queen, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Lin Zhuohua looked sideways at the Queen Mother, with a little smile in his eyes. She knew that although the Queen Mother's words pushed her to the forefront, they also gave her the best advertisement for opening a store.

In fact, she knew in her heart that even if the Queen Mother didn't speak, she would have been standing on the cusp of the storm a long time ago. As long as the Lin Guogong Mansion and the Jing family do not fall, and the queen's aunt sits firmly in the middle palace, then she will have no way to avoid it.

Except for Princess Huashang, only Lin Zhuohua sat at the top. This made many people jealous, but who dared to be presumptuous in Cining Palace, they could only endure it.

The Queen Mother talked to a few familiar old men, and then said a few words to the queen, and she only occasionally asked a few words about others, and immediately saw who had a face in front of the Queen Mother.

Several members of the Lin family have been mentioned several times by the Queen Mother, which shows that the Lin family is also very embarrassed in front of the Queen Mother. The girls of the family who were jealous of Lin Zhuohua didn't dare to do anything anymore, obviously although the Queen Mother pushed people to the forefront, they also supported each other clearly.

Those unkind eyes automatically converged and fell on other places. Even some tried their best to get the love of the nobles in the palace, especially the concubines who had princes.

Concubine Wan, who was sitting at the head of the queen, looked at Lin Zhuohua with a gentle smile in her eyes.

"I just heard the Queen Mother say that I got something good from you, I don't know if there is anything else?"

Lin Zhuohua was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Yes, if the concubine wants it, tomorrow the courtier will have someone send it to you to try." ”

Aunt Queen, she was also going to give it to her privately today, and naturally what she gave to her aunt must be much better than others. It was all configured with the flowers and plants she planted in the space, and the effect was naturally many times better than that of the flowers and plants outside.

As soon as Lin Zhuohua's words fell, Concubine Wan immediately smiled: "How can you ask for your things for nothing, you give it to the Queen Mother to honor the Queen Mother." This palace will not treat you badly, knowing that you like whips, this palace happens to have a good whip for you. ”

Concubine Wan's mother's family has a lot of power, and every year all kinds of things are sent to the palace for her. She said that what is good, it will definitely not be bad.

"Then Zhuohua will thank the concubine first."

Lin Zhuohua had a good impression of Concubine Wan, she had spoken for herself in the previous life, but when the crown prince ascended the throne and became the emperor, he would not listen to anyone's opinions at all.

But she still inherited this love. Even later, when she was in trouble, Concubine Wan secretly helped her. It's just that in the end, she is a concubine, and she has no rights at all.

And the most important thing is that she knows that Concubine Wan has always been on her aunt's side. She has a good relationship with her aunt, and she is one of the few sisters in this palace.

If there is really no one in this palace who does not fight or grab, then there is only Concubine Wan, she can sit on the throne of the concubine not because of the emperor's favor, but because her family background is good enough, and her family members are also very powerful.

Concubine Wan has only one son from the fourth prince, and she has a very good temperament. There are also many people in the court who support him, but unfortunately he is not interested in the throne at all, only with the landscape, almost all the year round, away from the battle in Beijing, so whether it is the crown prince or the eldest prince, there is no hostility towards the four princes.

Other people also wanted Lin Zhuohua to ask for it, but because they didn't know her very well, they were embarrassed to speak.

Lin Zhuohua glanced at the concubines who wanted to speak and stopped, she was not impressed, she looked very old, she should be a little concubine who had not been in the palace for a long time.

Her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she said, "This skin cream and some makeup things will be sold in my rouge shop after a while, if you like it, you can buy it." ”

Her rouge shop has been set up, but it hasn't opened yet. This time she opened it in her own name, so many people in Beijing know the name of the shop.

Hearing her words, although everyone didn't say anything on their faces, their hearts were moved, especially the ladies and ladies of these families. Who doesn't want to have smooth and good skin, even if they don't like Lin Zhuohua anymore, but these things should be bought.

"If Miss Lin's shop opens, we will definitely take care of it."

Several ladies of families who were good friends with the Lin family immediately cheered on the scene, and the relationship was already good, plus the queen mother and the queen were obviously supporting Lin Zhuohua, so they naturally couldn't let the scene cool down.

Some people started up, and others chimed in.

The Queen Mother lowered her eyes slightly, playing with the Buddha beads on her wrist. This Buddha bead was opened by the master, and she wears it on her body all the year round, and the Buddha bead is already very bright. The sandalwood on top always makes her feel at ease.

Listening to the flattering words below, she felt a little bored. With a tired look on his face, he reached out and rubbed his eyebrows.

"The queen mother is tired, then you rest. My daughter-in-law took everyone to my palace to sit down, and you will go over when the palace banquet begins? ”

The queen looked at the queen mother with a tired look, and hurriedly spoke.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother raised her head and showed a shallow smile: "The mourning family is getting older, and this energy is not as good as before." You don't have to stay here at the mourning family, the Lin family stays, and the others go to you. ”

The Queen Mother spoke, and others naturally did not dare to disobey. However, many people were envious and jealous of the Lin family's love for the Queen Mother, and even a few princesses did not stay, and they actually left Lin Zhuohua.

Watching the people leave, the Queen Mother swept away the previous tiredness on her face and looked at the old lady with a smile.

"There's no one else here, so don't hold it."

The old lady raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "You are such an old person, your temperament has really not changed at all." With this speed of changing faces, no one can really catch up with you. ”

The two of you and I scolded each other, which shows that the relationship is not ordinarily good.

Lin Zhuohua sat beside Mrs. Lin and watched the interaction between his grandmother and the Queen Mother with a smile. I feel a little emotional, I can maintain such a friendship for so many years, especially with the most expensive person like the Queen Mother, my grandmother is really amazing.

"How's it going, my little granddaughter is excellent, right?"

The old lady took a sip of the teacup with a bit of pride on her face.

The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "It's very good, but it's not like to become the granddaughter-in-law of the mourning family in the future." ”

The old lady was stunned when she heard this, and frowned: "There is nothing to do with the eight characters, besides, Zhuohua has only recently divorced the prince, and I am afraid it will not be good to be with the prince again." ”

Although I know that my little granddaughter is close to King Yi, it shouldn't be so fast, right?

The Queen Mother smiled slyly when she heard this, she looked at Lin Zhuohua and said, "Little girl, do you think what the mourning family said is right?" ”

Lin Zhuohua looked at the excitement, why did he suddenly turn to her, and looked at the Queen Mother with some circles. Then thinking of what Li Zeyi said to him yesterday, his heart moved slightly, the Queen Mother should know something, right?

"Uh......"

Lin Zhuohua didn't know how to answer, she looked at her grandmother.

When the old lady saw her little granddaughter looking for help, she immediately spoke: "She is a little girl, but she will be shy." ”

The Queen Mother laughed when she heard this, so she changed the topic: "Lin Chengxi, the third elder of your family, has he also reached the age of saying kiss?" ”

The second lady, Gu Zhen, couldn't help but get nervous when she heard the Queen Mother suddenly mention her eldest son, and her eyes fell on the Queen Mother's body waiting for her next words.

"Well, several brothers have reached the age of talking about family affairs. It's not like they've all returned to Beijing, and they won't go outside to experience after that. What, what good candidates are you? ”

The old lady and the queen mother have been friends since childhood, and they almost don't use honorific titles when there is no one, as if they were still in the boudoir before.

"There is a girl of about the same age in my mother's family, who is gentle and pure, and she has also reached the age of marriage."

The queen mother's maiden family is not too prominent, but the rules are very good, and it can be regarded as a clear stream family with no dirt. A few officials in the court have good reviews.

Gu Zhen's heart moved slightly when she heard this, it was naturally good to be in-laws with the Queen Mother's mother's family. And she doesn't care about the other party's family background, as long as her son likes it, the girl's temperament is good.

The old lady was also a little surprised when she heard this, and said, "It seems that you like that girl quite a lot." ”

The Queen Mother smiled when she heard this: "Well, you have a good personality." ”

She did not deny that the girl was her niece and granddaughter. She'd seen it a few times, and it was very eye-catching. It's just that I don't like the palace, if she hadn't summoned her, she would never have taken the initiative to hand over the sign to come in, but the gifts sent every year can be seen to be very attentive.

"It's okay, then wait for the end of the New Year. Find a time for the two of them to look at each other, lest we mess with the mandarin duck spectrum. ”

The old lady pondered for a moment, she understood the Queen Mother. If she is a good person, it must be no worse. Although she had never heard of this girl in Shangjing, there were many girls who were low-key.

Lin Zhuohua tilted his head to look at the two, and his eyes rolled. Although her rebirth has changed a lot of things, it seems that the marriage of several brothers has not been affected too much.

Of course, except for her eldest brother, who had a bad end in the previous life and did not marry a wife.

The three seem to be married to a girl from the Queen Mother's family, and that girl is a very interesting person.

After the old lady finished speaking, she looked at her second daughter-in-law again, after all, it was her son, and she still had to ask her opinion.

"You have a girl you like, if you have, you will look at each other after the New Year."

Gu Zhen hurriedly shook her head: "No, there is no choice for a daughter-in-law yet." ”

She wasn't in a hurry, she was waiting to take a good look after the Chinese New Year. And you have to consult with your son to see what type he likes.

The old lady saw that she had no opinion, so the matter was so happily decided.

When the palace banquet was about to start, the queen immediately sent someone here to inform her.

The Queen Mother left Lin Zhuohua and asked her to help her go to the palace banquet.

At the palace banquet, everyone was already in place. Only the first few seats were vacant, and while everyone waited, the shrill voice of a eunuch was heard.

"The emperor, the queen, and the queen mother have arrived!"

Everyone's eyes fell on the door of the main hall, and when they saw the emperor and the queen coming hand in hand, the queen mother was supported by Lin Zhuohua and followed behind. Immediately everyone knelt on the ground to greet them, bowing their heads and not daring to raise their heads.

"Get up."

It was only when the emperor's deep voice came from above that everyone got up and sat down.

Lin Zhuohua sat the Queen Mother on the chair, and then went down from the other side and sat in his place. At this time, she didn't want to be in the limelight, but fortunately, the Queen Mother didn't let her sit by her side.

There has been a wave of hatred in the Queen Mother's palace before, and she doesn't want another wave.

Music sounded in the main hall, and the dancers danced.

Lin Zhuohua held the cup in his hand, and his eyes fell on the tea. I don't know what I'm thinking, but I'm slightly distracted.

Li Zeyi sat on it, leaning lazily on the chair, leisurely and lazy. His appearance caused many people to look sideways, but no one dared to say anything, after all, this one was very favored by the emperor.

His eyes fell on his little girl, and he frowned slightly as he watched her look at the teacup in her hand.

Just as he was about to speak, a voice with a bit of cowardice sounded.

"The son has something to ask his father."

A thin figure appeared, and he knelt straight above the main hall. The thin face is really a little similar to the emperor, but there is always a little gloom in his eyes, and the whole person is also very dull.

The emperor looked at the five princes who suddenly came out and knelt on the ground, his brows furrowed slightly, but he quickly stretched out and looked at him slightly, his voice was calm and could not hear joy and anger.

The fifth prince was also very nervous and scared in his heart, he was not liked by his father, and after this time, he was afraid that he would even more dislike his father. It's just that he has no other way but to curry favor with the prince now.

"The son is pleased with the eldest lady of the Fu family, and asks his father to give his son and the eldest lady of the Fu family a marriage."

Fu Xiang sat down and was slightly surprised when he heard the words of the fifth prince. He looked sideways at his daughter, and saw a look of surprise on her emaciated face.

The displeasure in his heart was slightly reduced, and he knew that his eldest daughter had been in contact with the people of the Fifth Prince in private a few times.

It's just that he didn't expect that the fifth prince would ask to marry her.

His eyes fell on the emperor, and seeing that his face was calm, he couldn't see any joy or anger at all, and he couldn't help but be a little confused, what to do.

However, until he knows the situation, it is wisest to respond to changes without change.

The entire hall fell silent, and everyone's eyes fell on the five princes. The sense of existence of these five princes is too low, and they almost forget that there is such a person among the emperor's sons.

The crown prince sitting on it looked at the fifth prince kneeling on the ground, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. That's right, it was the eldest lady of the Fu family who asked the five princes to marry, in order to win over Prime Minister Fu.

The Fu family is such a daughter, and the last incident made the Fu family lose face. But although the person Fu Xiang chose for Fu Mingxuan had a bad family background, that person was talented and ambitious, and he would definitely be able to make achievements if he cultivated it well. This is enough to see that Fu still takes care of this daughter.

If the fifth prince marries Fu Mingxuan, then he has a great chance of standing behind him.

Fu Mingxuan was really surprised, she had contact with the people of the five princes before, in fact, she wanted to contact the prince through him, and she was still unwilling to marry the candidate her father found for her. Even if she knew that person was actually good, she was unwilling after all.

But she didn't expect that she didn't come into contact with the crown prince, but the fifth prince wanted to marry her. She was slightly entangled in her heart, the five princes were the most useless among the princes.

The emperor didn't like it, his biological mother was just a palace maid, and he was promoted to the concubine after giving birth to him. Even when he was an adult, he was not moved out of the palace by the king.

But if it is replaced by his former self, he will definitely not look down on the five princes. But now she doesn't seem to have any other choice, at least the other party is the fifth prince, and no matter how unfavored she is, she is also the emperor's son. was born to be more noble than others, and he has always followed the prince.

The emperor pondered for a while before he spoke: "Fu Xiang thinks this marriage is good?" ”

When Prime Minister Fu Cheng heard this, he immediately got up and said respectfully: "Everything is subject to the emperor's arrangement. ”

There was a dark color in the emperor's eyes, he was really a cunning fox, and he kicked the question back with a word.

Looking at the kneeling son below, the emperor's heart was very complicated. In fact, he doesn't hate this son, after all, he is also his child. As he grew older, his heart seemed to be softer than before.

He has a preference for several sons, but also hopes that the others will be well. This was the first time that the fifth prince had the audacity to ask him, the emperor, to be his father, and he was only silent for a while before speaking.

"Okay, since you like the eldest lady of the Fu family, and Fu Xiang doesn't have any opinions, then I will give you a marriage today."

The emperor showed a smile on his face, and then gave the two a marriage in front of everyone. The fifth prince, who was kneeling on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief and immediately thanked him.

And Fu Mingxuan, who was sitting next to Fu Xiang, also hurriedly stepped forward and knelt beside the fifth prince to thank him.

"Son-in-law, thank your father for the marriage!"

"The courtiers thank the emperor for the marriage!"

"Get up."

The emperor had a smile on his face, which showed that he was in a good mood at this time. He glanced at Li Zeyi, who was leaning crookedly on the chair, and continued.

"I'm very happy today, so let's announce another happy event."

As he spoke, he asked the great eunuch to take out the holy decree of marriage to Lin Zhuohua and Li Zeyi and read it on the spot.

Everyone was in an uproar, and no one thought that the emperor would give the two a marriage.

A smile flashed in Li Zeyi's eyes, he got up and walked to the top of the main hall, and then walked towards Lin Zhuohua.

Lin Zhuohua looked at the hand stretched out in front of his eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. But he didn't hesitate, and reached out and put his small hand on his big hand.

Li Zeyi pulled the person up with a slight force, and then took her hand all the way to the middle of the hall and knelt on the ground.

"Son-in-law, thank your father for the marriage!"

"The courtiers thank their father for their marriage!"

The Empress Dowager looked at the two kneeling below with a smile, and was very happy. These two are her favorite juniors, and she is really happy that they can be together. When she was at the temple, she had already seen the friendship between the two.

The old lady wrinkled slightly, but quickly relaxed. Now she knows what she meant when she was in the Queen Mother's bedroom! It turned out that she had long known that the emperor was going to give marriage to the two!

This man has the same bad taste as before!
