Chapter 126: The Change of the Son
The ladies have opened their eyes one after another, and they are choosing the right person for their children among the tall and excellent men. The wives of these families, all of them are exquisite, and on the day of the release of the list, they all sent people out to inquire about the candidates' family backgrounds, whether they are scholars from poor families or sons of families, where their families are, and what the situation is at home.
Like the kind of outstanding and well-known people, they are naturally favored more, such as Jin Jiaoyang.
As soon as Jin Jiaoyang appeared, the appearance of Yushu Linfeng had already made some young ladies blush, and they covered it with fans, and the ladies were also satisfied and nodded again and again, Jin Jiaoyang was the leader in this palace test, as for which daughter was so blessed, she could see it.
"Sleepy, the mourning family looks at it, Jin Gongzi seems to be looking bad, what's going on?" The Queen Mother stared at Jin Jiaoyang for a while, and the more she looked at him, the more she felt that his expression was very bad, and his face was pale, as if he was sick.
"The queen mother doesn't know, a few days ago, Gongzi Jin was drenched in rain, so he had a cold, and his son had already sent medicine, Mrs. Jin passed the word that it didn't matter, it seemed that she was just weak, and she wouldn't be able to hold on." Ruan Mianmian looked up, just in time to look at Jin Jiaoyang and glanced over here, she couldn't just look away, so she nodded with a faint smile and said hello.
Jin Jiaoyang's cold Ruan Mianmian knew about it that day, and he also sent tonic medicine out of etiquette, but although his illness was accidental, it was always caused by Ruan Mianmian's hairpin, so Ruan Mianmian was still a little apologetic, and also sent someone to greet him two or three times, for fear that he would delay the imperial examination due to illness. Now that I saw him coming, I was naturally relieved.
The Queen Mother turned her head to look at the other candidates again, and didn't pay too much attention to Jin Jiaoyang, nodded after listening to a sentence and turned around and forgot. It's Princess Fangyan, after seeing Jin Jiaoyang last time, I thought he was very interesting, although he didn't talk much, but he looked almost perfect, and even had a sense of familiarity, so I paid more attention to him, and of course I saw Jin Jiaoyang's eyes looking here.
The distance is not close, I really can't see who is in his eyes, are the two little aunts? Or yourself? Fangyan is a big ghost, and he knows that his future marriage is also a bargaining chip for the royal family, but such a person with a prominent family background and outstanding learning, his father also wants to win him over.
His face was slightly red, Fang Yan lowered his head slightly, and then said sweetly: "Imperial grandmother, you see that Jin Gongzi is so good-looking!" ”
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded: "Yes, Jin Gongzi's appearance is first-class, even the original emperor is not as handsome as him." ”
"Yo, what's wrong with our Fangyan today, one by one, grabbing Jin Gongzi and boasting alone," Jiang Xinyue smiled heartily, took the queen mother's hand, and lowered her voice: "I see, it's better to give the princess a marriage, she thinks about it in her eyes, and then she can't hold back any illness." ”
"You also help taunt me! I shouldn't have come! Fang Yan's brows furrowed more and more, don't turn her head and put her face on one shoulder, but she felt even more frighteningly hot, so she hurriedly covered it with her hands, and didn't forget to turn around and warn: "Look at what, I want to tell my father and mother and concubine!" ”
Fang Yan's cute behavior made the Queen Mother smile from ear to ear, but she thought about the feasibility of this matter in her heart, although Jin Gongzi and Fang Yan are a lot of age differences, but that will not affect anything, Fang Yan is a princess, it is also appropriate to marry at this age, and it will be enough to marry again in two years, nodded secretly, the Queen Mother plans to discuss this matter with the emperor after the palace test.
The Queen Mother was talking and laughing here, when she suddenly heard a voice from the side behind her: "Good night Queen Mother, the two county lords are well, and the princess Wan'an." ”
Everyone looked back, and they all restrained their smiles, and the person who came was Mrs. Lang of the Duke of Wei.
At the beginning, how she suppressed the Wei Guogong Changfang in the main hall and retreated, everyone remembered it in their hearts, and they often felt that this person was a smiling tiger and did not want to deal with her. It's just that I didn't expect this lady to be so cheeky, obviously Yipinxiang and the palace have repeatedly distanced her, and she still pasted it shamelessly.
"It's Mrs. Squire, long time no see." The Queen Mother had her eyelids half-open, and she didn't even give her a straight face.
"Ouch, the big mess at home is now handed over to the concubine, and she is almost too busy to get out." Mrs. Shilang openly and secretly talked about her mastery of the power of the Duke of Wei, and proudly showed off.
"Huh? By the way, how are you eating the food that Mrs. took away from Yipinxiang last time, and what do the children think?" Ruan Mianmian seemed to unintentionally mention the matter of taking away the food last time, tilting his head slightly, but his eyes were carefully staring at Mrs. Shilang's expression.
"The delicious food is a must, the children love it so much, they often ask me when I have time to take them to eat!" Mrs. Squire's face did not change, she still talked happily, without even a slight emotional fluctuation, if she did not know, she would have thought that Mrs. Squire was sincerely grateful.
The acting is so good.
Ruan Mianmian and Jiang Xinyue exchanged glances and closed their mouths quietly. I really can't say anything about her, and when she retreats from what she said, she should be disgusted, it's not worth it.
"Is there anything else going on with Madame Squire?" The Queen Mother squinted her eyes and signaled her to leave quickly if she had something to do.
"That's the case, there have been so many major events in the concubine's family recently, and there is no backbone at once, everything is messy, and the princess of the family is also anxious, so he specially wrote an excerpt and handed it over, hoping that His Majesty will allow it, and the husband of the concubine will be the prince of Wei, and he will take care of it." Mrs. Shilang carefully worded her words, and looked up at the Queen Mother's expression from time to time, but she could not tell whether she liked it or disliked, so she could only figure it out more carefully.
"Since the prince of the country handed over the fold, presumably the emperor has a decision in his heart, why did he come to the mourning family and say it?" The Queen Mother buttoned the lid of the teacup, and there was no intention of care.
"The concubine is really worried, so I want to hear what the queen mother means." Madame Squire's heart flashed in her eyes, and when she looked up, she changed to a kind and gentle expression.
"Mrs. Shilang, the Duke of Wei is highly respected and respected in the court, since this is what he meant, presumably the imperial brother also understands, how can it not be fulfilled?" Jiang Xinyue's eyes were sharp, obviously not believing this, she turned her head and said, "Unless... It's not the book of Grandpa Guo, or it's not Grandpa Guo's own meaning. ”
"Why did my sister say this, the squire and his wife are the most filial to the elders and cherish the younger generations, how could they exchange the elderly Wei Guogong for a gimmick in exchange for a title, you think too badly, I think Mrs. Shilang is just worried that the prince has not been abolished, so I came to ask." Ruan Mianmian pursed her lips, seemingly refuting Jiang Xinyue, but the banter in her eyes betrayed her, obviously she was just teasing Mrs. Shilang and giving her unpleasantness.
Mrs. Shilang really looked a little gloomy, and touched two non-existent tears: "Don't blame the county lord for saying this, since the accident of the prince and sister-in-law, the concubine and her husband are hanging day and night, taking care of the prince, but the prince in the public court was openly slapped on the mouth, and the injuries on his body are easy to heal, but he has never been able to get over this hurdle in his heart, he is obsessed with fantasies all day long, delirious, and now he is almost unrecognizable. ”
"Tsk, according to that, it's still the fault of the county lord. Mother, don't blame your sons. Ruan Mianmian pursed her lips and was coquettish at the Queen Mother, but she didn't have the slightest worry or fear at all, just disdain. At the beginning, the prince was beaten by himself, and of course Mrs. Shilang fanned the flames, since she wants to mention it now, it is better to simply say it in front of the Queen Mother and see how the Wei Mansion is cleaned up.
"Oh? The matter of the Duke of Wei's Mansion, isn't Mianmian a bitter master, how can there be anything wrong? The Queen Mother patted the back of Ruan Mianmian's hand, and the meaning of maintenance was unspoken.
"It's... That's right, it was the prince who offended first, and the lord of Ruliang County opened the net to punish a little, which should be done, but the prince couldn't stand it, and he didn't blame the county lord. "Before Ruan Mianmian spoke, Mrs. Shilang was a little anxious to round the field, this Ruliang county lord knew a lot of things, and he was open-mouthed, if he told the situation of the day along with this matter, I was afraid that he would affect himself.
"That's good, the mourning family is old, and now the most painful thing is these children, as long as they are safe and happy, nothing else is fine." The Queen Mother's fierce gaze swept over Mrs. Shilang, and Mrs. Shilang's face turned much whiter when she saw it, it seemed that the Queen Mother had been in a high position for many years, and her momentum of not being angry and arrogant was already able to scare her into not saying anything more.
"That's... The concubine did not disturb the queen mother to watch the palace test, and retired first. Seeing that she couldn't continue, Mrs. Squire hurriedly laughed and retired.
Seeing that Mrs. Shilang turned around and returned to her seat, Ruan Mianmian turned around, picked up an orange casually, peeled the orange peel by dividing it by two, broke half of it and handed it to the Queen Mother first, and the remaining half was divided into a petal and fed to Fang Yan's mouth on the side, and the rest was swallowed and chewed with satisfaction, only then did she feel better.
"Yes, it's very sweet, Mianmian is more and more caring about people." The Queen Mother ate the oranges peeled by Ruan Mianmian, and smiled with crooked eyebrows. She is in a high position, and the people around her are carefully and thoughtfully, and the fruits are washed and packed into a delicate gold plate on weekdays before being sent, but she tastes no sweetness like Ruan Mianmian, just because there is a little more human touch.
"The queen mother is sleeping, and the mother should naturally return the favor by giving the sweetest orange to the queen mother, and don't dare to do it if it's not sweet." Ruan Mianmian was as good as a stream, taking advantage of the queen mother's happiness and sweet flattery, and firmly grasped the queen mother's thoughts.
"Okay, the palace test has begun, let's take a good look." The Queen Mother took the hands of the two righteous girls on the left and right, and the solemn bell was struck on the bell tower over there, and the candidates knelt down to worship the Son of Heaven, and the palace examination officially began.
