Junlan is already twenty-two, if she marries at a normal age, not all the children are five or six years old.

"Then what's the way, those who can work harder!"

Seeing that Jiang Chuge didn't follow her wishes, Su Lingqiao was speechless for a while.

After chatting a few more words, Jiang Chuge quietly bypassed the trap in her words, and Su Lingqiao finally couldn't help it, and bluntly got to the point.

"The envoys of Beiyan have also been here for a few days, I don't know what the eldest princess has planned?"

Jiang Chuge supported his head with his hand: "I'm sick now, and I really can't lift my spirits to think about how to deal with this matter." Let's drag it first, the palace has already sent a letter of state to Beiyan, and wait to see what the Northern Yan Emperor means before making a decision. ”

sent the letter of origin to Beiyan, this time back and forth, there was no more in half a month. When Su Lingqiao heard this, he immediately became anxious: "But our wedding date has already been set, how can we delay it." After all, this is a major event between the two countries, and if it drags on, it will not be easy to choose an auspicious day for the zodiac. ”

Jiang Chuge smiled and said nothing, although she didn't leave the Chuxiu Palace, she also knew that Yu Chi Qianye had entered the palace today. This can also explain why Su Lingqiao is like an ant on a hot pot today, in a hurry.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chuge felt a little sorry for Su Lingqiao, she had never been competitive, but she would do such a stupid thing as doing anything for a man.

Beiyan's attitude is obviously perfunctory, if Yu Chi Qianye really loves her and values her, he will not ask her for anything at this time, but find a way to raise a dowry to ask for marriage.

But she couldn't see it, and after seeing Yu Chi Qianye, she really begged to come to her.

But Jiang Chuge couldn't respond to her request and fulfill their marriage, after all, this was a grand event between the two countries, representing the face of the Qi country, and it was Beiyan who earnestly asked to marry.

If you don't want to marry Su Lingqiao as a dowry, then how can other countries look at the country. Where is the face of the Qi State, where is the prestige.

But Jiang Chuge also knows that Su's dexterous temperament is called stubbornness when he says it well, and if he doesn't say it well, it is not too late to be good.

Now what she says, Su Lingqiao will think that Jiang Chuge is targeting, it is better to follow her.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chuge also sighed: "This matter, this palace also feels inappropriate, but now you also know about the continuous war of the Qi State." First resisted the invasion of the Northern Yan, and then the rebellion of Ping Xiyue, although this year was a bumper year, it could not withstand such losses.

Now, Xi Yue's rebellion has not yet subsided, and military rations and military supplies are another large expense, and the treasury really can't afford it. The white slips that the palace made to various families and merchants have not yet been returned. Seeing that winter is coming soon, the carbon purchased in the palace is steel charcoal instead of silver carbon.

Under such circumstances, if Beiyan is not hired, Qi Guo really can't come up with a dowry. But you are a princess and you are married to the prince of a country, if this dowry is thin, wouldn't it be a grievance? Therefore, this palace is unwilling to wronged you, so it repeatedly rejected the proposal of the envoys of Beiyan to marry. ”

Su Lingqiao's face turned blue and white, Jiang Chuge was a proud person, he usually didn't show timidity, but he really pretended to be pitiful. But she couldn't refute it, as a person from Qi State, she naturally knew the situation of Qi State.

Jiang Chuge has played a lot of white strips, and there are also those from the Dingguo Mansion.

It's just that Yu Chi Qianye also said that if the marriage can't be settled for a long time, Jiang Chuge won't let go, and Emperor Beiyan will call him back. When the time comes, with the respect of his prince, it is not impossible to give him a noble daughter of a big family to be the princess.

Yu Chi Qianye told her: "I am a man, and my status is noble, even if I withdraw from the marriage, it will not affect the marriage." But I feel sorry for you, because you want to get married, Jiang Chuge will make you a princess, if the two countries can't get married, you have the name of a princess, but you have no shade and no example, how can you live.

And if you quit your marriage, your marriage will be difficult, and you can think about your future. ”

Yu Chi Qianye was rarely clever and fickle once, and successfully persuaded Su Lingqiao to let Su Lingqiao come to Jiang Chuge to intercede.

In fact, he didn't have much hope for Su Lingqiao, he felt that the friendship between Su Lingqiao and Jiang Chuge was not enough to make Jiang Chuge relax. But he felt that Jiang Chuge would be jealous of the Duke of Dingguo, if he could provoke Su Lingqiao and Jiang Chuge, it would be to provoke Jiang Chuge and the Duke of Dingguo.

When the time comes, Jiang Chuge can't withstand the pressure and will always let go.

But he was different, and Jiang Chuge did not intend to go against Su's dexterous intentions.

Seeing Su Lingqiao's depressed expression, Jiang Chuge thoughtfully gave her an idea: "It's true that the palace can't come up with money, but if you are willing not to bring a dowry to the past, the palace is not willing to be the one who beats the mandarin ducks." If you have a heart for the second prince, this palace will fulfill you! ”

Su Lingqiao was happy and worried, happy that Jiang Chuge was finally willing to let go, and she didn't have no chance. But the worry is that you don't bring a dowry to the past!

Don't bring a dowry? She must not have thought about it, she has been in the Su family for more than ten years, hasn't she seen enough?

Because of the decline of her mother's family and the meager dowry, her mother has no say in the family. Even if there is, it is only for the subordinates, and she can't control the affairs of the country.

One of the two sisters-in-law is from a family, with a rich dowry, and she is the princess when she marries, and she has taken over the power of the housekeeper, and she can speak in front of her eldest brother.

One is the daughter of Qingliu, the dowry is not gold and silver vulgarity, but those antiques, calligraphy and paintings are hard to find. For this reason, the second brother also respects her.

She has seen clearly since she was a child, so she is unwilling to live a life without a dowry for her husband's family.

Her dress is to imitate Jiang Chuge's usual dressing style, although she doesn't like this eldest princess who always presses her, but she has to admit that Jiang Chuge's dress is luxurious and refined.

Zhang didn't notice the small changes in his daughter, but was just immersed in the joy of seeing mother and daughter.

Su Lingdexterity stepped forward and curtsied: "Mother......"

Zhang quickly got up and supported her: "No need to be polite......" said and his eyes reddened: "I have been wronged in the palace!" ”

Su Lingqiao's eyes also reddened: "No! ”

Where did Zhang believe that her daughter grew up in the palm of her hand, and she was let by others when she was at home, so she developed a somewhat pampered temperament.

But in Zhang's eyes, everything is good for his daughter, even if she is a little pampered, it is also a sign of innocence.

If you have a confidant like you today, you must have been wronged in the palace.

But in fact, as long as she doesn't provoke Jiang Chuge in the palace, she won't be angry, and she came back this time to keep the ceremony because she asked for the Zhang family.

It's just that Zhang's love for his daughter is heartfelt, and he didn't expect this layer at all.

Since the day Su Lingqiao took Zhang's qi disease, it has been a long time since the mother and daughter have spoken together so calmly.

Su Lingqiao knew that the Zhang family would respond to her needs, so she would come to the Zhang family first and ask the Zhang family to beat the side drum for her.

She was petty to please, but Zhang didn't realize that the two of them were a rare **.

Zhang's face was distressed: "My hard-working child, why did you let you do all the bad things." It was already hard to go away to get married, but now the marriage date has been delayed.

In the future, even if you really marry Beiyan, the Beiyan royal family will despise you. said that we have no courtesy, but if we don't marry and quit our relatives, the spittle stars of the people of the world can drown people. ”

Rumors are fiercer than tigers, and Zhang's people are especially aware of it, so she doesn't want her daughter to be subjected to this kind of constraint.

Zhang's words touched Su Lingqiao's heart, and the red eyes were really sad this time.

Zhang's distressed stroked his daughter: "The eldest princess of the palace maid, she herself was withdrawn and couldn't find a good mother-in-law's family, so she wanted to experience what she experienced once." In my opinion, she is not a good person. ”

Su Lingdexterity instinctively wanted to refute, having lived in the palace for this period of time, she could feel that Jiang Chuge was not such a small-bellied person. At least, her pattern will not be so small, such a person who can turn his hands into clouds and hands into rain, he will not care about whether he will withdraw from the marriage or not.

Because even if she was dismissed, with her status and status, no one would refuse to recruit anyone to be a colt. Of course, except for a great talent like Song Ling.

But there is only one Song Ling in Qi State, and there is only one person like Song Xiang who is so powerful that the eldest princess is jealous.

Although Su Lingqiao couldn't see through the twists and turns of officialdom and the court, she knew how much power Jiang Chuge had in the Qi State.

But she came back this time to seek Zhang's sympathy, so naturally she would not refute Zhang's words. nodded aggrievedly: "Yes, she is almost twenty years old, and she is in a high position, so she naturally doesn't care about this." But the daughter is different, the children are in the mood for love, and they are still counting on being able to show their strength after they arrive in Beiyan.

If she is divorced this time, then according to her daughter's identity, she can only find a poor student who wants to cling to the Dingguo Mansion or the son of a small family! In this way, not only is the daughter unhappy, but even the mother's hard work is in vain! ”

Su Lingqiao's cleverness is used on the Zhang family, it is like a dozen quasi-children, Zhang's lifelong wish is to cultivate a queen, so that those noble ladies who despise her can see that she, a woman from a lonely family, is not for nothing.

knew that her daughter was going to get married, but she only cared about her sadness and didn't analyze it quietly. Now her daughter said something unintentionally, but it made her sober and enlightened.

"You're right, this family business must not be withdrawn. Don't worry, I will go to your father and tell you that the girls of our Su family must not suffer this kind of grievance. ”

Without thinking, Su Lingqiao stopped Zhang: "Mother, don't go, I'll go to my father to talk about this matter myself!" ”

"You go to your dad and say, will he agree?" Zhang was a little worried.

"That's why I need my mother to play the side drum for me in front of my father."

Zhang thought about it for a while, and also felt that his daughter had a point. This matter is related to the happiness of her daughter, and she needs the full support of the Guogong Government, so naturally her daughter is more sincere when she says it.

In the past, Dingguo Gong also had high hopes for his daughter, and if his daughter went to say it, maybe the possibility of his son agreeing would be higher.

Waiting for her daughter to say it first, she persuaded her on the side, but Grandpa Guo had no reason to disagree.

The mother and daughter reached an agreement and discussed some details. Only then did he have the leisure to sit down and gossip, Su Lingqiao was in a hurry, and he didn't want to accompany the Zhang family to talk about the short gossip of the east and west family.

But he had to be patient with her to finish lunch, and after the porter reported that the prince had gone down to court at night, the maid served her to clean her face and go to the study.

Yu Chi Qianye inquired and knew that Su Lingqiao was out of the palace today, and he knew that Bacheng had returned to the Dingguo Mansion.

So today, he deliberately avoided the Duke of Dingguo and the Prince of Dingguo, did not come to visit the house, and did not invite Su Shizi to drink.

After Dingguo Gong and Su Shizi's father and son went straight to the study, they also discussed the marriage between Su Lingqiao and Beiyan.

They all saw Beiyan's attitude, it was indeed that he did not plan to marry sincerely, but wanted to cheat the princess of Qi out of this expensive dowry.

The eldest princess strongly refused, did not give a dowry and did not receive the envoys of Beiyan, and even postponed the marriage.

Before, she had been sick and couldn't go to the court, and she went to Chuxiu Palace every day to announce the imperial doctor, and after four or five days, she couldn't pretend to be sick, so she had to drag the "sick body" to the court.

But above the court, her attitude has not changed in the slightest.

The envoys of Northern Yan were committed to competing with Jiang Chuge, and did not care about the traps in Jiang Chuge's words. The voice was loud and said yes categorically.
