Chapter 161: United Front

Xiao Li'er shook her head, and roughly guessed what Ruan Mianmian was going to say.

"His Royal Highness King Qi is different from us people, he is the real blood of the first emperor, and he is also the blood brother of His Majesty today, in terms of dignity, there is no one who can compare with him, and the most important thing is that he still does not have a concubine, and the former lady in the mansion has also passed away, and he is still alone, if you can come to him..."

Xiao Li'er has actually been ready to compete with others for her husband, when she was in the barbarian camp, she competed with other dancing girls, and when she arrived at Fang Cannon's side, she had to fight with Ruan Mianmian, if she successfully entered the emperor's harem, she would inevitably compete with other concubines, and now someone told her that she could have an indisputable place, she was naturally excited, but she was not so easily impressed.

"Since what the county lord said is so good, why should he say it so carefully? If there are others, it is better to tell them together, and it is easy to consider them. Little Li'er blinked, her expression softened, and she thought in her heart that what she said was credible.

"Miss Li'er is a smart person, and there is no need for the county lord to lie to you, I can't hide it, although His Royal Highness the King of Qi is young and valuable, he was injured at the beginning of this year, which caused him to be unconscious until now, so this marriage still has to be facilitated by others, but as long as you want to, the county lord must have the ability to help you do it, after all, our majesty also wants him to start a family earlier."

"Starting a family? According to what you said, I think His Royal Highness King Qi is not a very favored person, right? Otherwise, how many wealthy families would have rushed to catch up, and it would be my turn to have no family background? If you enter the palace of King Qi, Princess Qi will be in trouble within two days, but Li'er will never be willing. Xiao Lian'er looked directly at Ruan Mianmian, and at this moment, the humility and flattery in front of Fang Dacang were gone, but there was a temperament that gave up on me.

Ruan Mianmian turned the bead bracelet on his hand and smiled lightly: "Your Majesty is naturally the first to hope that King Qi will become a family, Your Majesty is benevolent, it is clear that King Qi made a big mistake but still let him stay in the palace to recuperate, naturally, after he becomes a family, those gossips will inevitably collapse by themselves, and as his family, as long as you don't take the initiative to restrain your edge, Your Majesty will definitely protect your glory and wealth for a lifetime, you can be a rich princess without asking anything, come to drink tea and vegetables in your spare time, and welcome you for the first time, isn't this good?" ”

Xiao Li'er lowered her eyelids and looked at the peony flowers blooming on the side of the road, and did not answer Ruan Mianmian immediately, her eyes turned twice, and when she turned around again, she had already changed to a chuckle, as if the two of them were not discussing her life just now, but simply said a few words about the grand scenery of the imperial garden.

Ruan Mianmian is not impatient, nor urging, just waiting for her to figure it out and speak, if she agrees, then she will naturally cooperate with each other without incident, if she does not agree, she also has a way to let her come and go back.

"I promise." Xiao Li'er chuckled and took Ruan Mianmian's hand, left these three words in Ruan Mianmian's ear, and then took Ruan Mianmian's hand directly and walked forward to catch up with Jiang Xinyue and Liu Xin'er, regardless of her status.

Not long after, a few people met at the fork in the road, the two in front did not go far, it seemed that they deliberately gave Ruan Mianmian and Xiao Li'er the opportunity to talk, and after a few people met, they did not communicate too much, Jiang Xinyue and Liu Xin'er knew that the matter was completed as soon as they saw Ruan Mianmian and Xiao Li'er's intimate state, and naturally they had the bottom in their hearts.

"Let's go, let's take you to see the Queen Mother." Jiang Xinyuedan's lips opened lightly, but she didn't let Xiao Li'er see the relaxation in her eyes.

Shoukang Palace is still the usual arrangement, the Queen Mother leans on a golden half-old soft pillow, because of today's happy day of the King of England, so she changed into a more formal embroidered robe full of flowers, a golden phoenix hovers from the side to the chest, the high phoenix head is towards the position of the neckline, the whole popularity is smiling, holding a silver carved skewer in his hand, is picking the fruit plate held by the palace maid.

"Jingshu and Ruliang visit the queen mother."

"Liu Xin'er, the second lady of the Hou Mansion of Anyang, visited the Queen Mother."

After several people finished saluting in turn, the Queen Mother affectionately called them to sit down, and directly called Ruan Mianmian and Jiang Xinyue to sit beside her, looking extremely pampered.

"Sleepy, taste it, I ordered someone to prepare a golden silk roll for you in the morning, and the imperial chef also newly researched a jam sandwich cake, saying that he learned it from you to taste the fragrance, and see how he does it." The Queen Mother put down the silver skewer and personally brought her several plates of pastries in front of her, looking at her expectantly.

Ruan Mianmian thought it was funny, but he still squinted and pinched a piece of pastry and took a bite, sure enough, it was the taste of the sandwich cake recently launched by Yipinxiang, the thin and soft puff pastry on the outside, and the plump and clear pear pulp and syrup inside, although the imitation was seven or eight points similar to Yipinxiang's, but the taste was still different, not to mention that Wang Xun used peaches with more difficult peaches as fillings, but the imperial dining room only dared to use pears that were useless, and made a judgment.

"It's delicious, it's more exquisite than a pint of incense, sister, you can taste it too." Ruan Mianmian squinted her eyes in surprise, and immediately threw the remaining small piece into her mouth, and then handed the plate to Jiang Xinyue.

Although there are some differences between the two, it is still necessary to temporarily block the cognition in front of the Queen Mother, after all, the royal family always has to do its best, and if someone does better than the royal family, it can only disappear.

Jiang Xinyue naturally understood this truth, and echoed the praise after tasting it, which made the Queen Mother laugh with satisfaction, and the atmosphere on the field immediately became a lot more lively.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Queen Mother was happy, Ruan Mianmian walked down lively, took Xiao Li'er's hand and brought her to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, Jin'er Mianmian wants to introduce you to someone, how about you take a look at her?" ”

The Queen Mother looked up, and Xiao Li'er knelt down and saluted elegantly in accordance with the etiquette she had learned in the past few days.

"Excuse me, come and I'll take a look." The Queen Mother is also interested, after all, who doesn't like to look at beauties.

The Queen Mother looked at Xiao Li'er's face, but she was quite surprised in her heart, she thought that she had spent most of her life in the palace, surrounded by a group of beautiful women every day, and she would not be surprised by the beauty of others for a long time, but now when she saw Xiao Li'er at first sight, it was different from any beauty she had seen before, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were all different flavors, and she had more charm.

"It's really a beauty, I don't know which lady it is?"

Ruan Mianmian jumped back to the Queen Mother, blocked the Queen Mother's ear with her hand and whispered a few words, and the Queen Mother nodded clearly, stopped asking this question, and turned to other things. ”

"You brought her here with such fanfare, not just to introduce the mourning family, right?"

"The queen mother is wise, and her daughter really can't hide her thoughts at all." Jiang Xinyue also joined in and began to help, "The last time I entered the palace, His Majesty mentioned the family affairs of the royal brother of King Qi, and said that there was no suitable candidate among the women of the family in the capital. ”

In fact, it is not easy for the daughter of the family to handle.

"He also said that the daughters of foreign courtiers do not know their appearance."

The daughters of foreign courtiers are even more difficult to handle.

"So I want our sisters to pay more attention, and be sure to find a beautiful and unmatched woman for Brother Wang."

It's okay to be beautiful, but there's no power at all.

"No, the daughter of the girl who brought back from the cannon two days ago looks just right, and brings it to you to see, if it is still to your heart, we have done a good thing, right?"

Jiang Xinyue's words are reasonable, and the Queen Mother also nodded frequently, this kind of woman who only seeks wealth and nobility with her appearance and no backing is simply the best, immediately let people go to the front to take a look, if the ceremony is over, please invite the emperor and the newlywed royal couple to come to her to have a look.

However, the royal etiquette is cumbersome and tiring, and everyone is here with melon seeds and a lot of gossip and anecdotes, which is waiting for the belated emperor.

The emperor was dressed in a dragon robe, obviously just presided over the ceremony, and after greeting the queen mother, he sat down casually on the side, and waved his hand to avoid everyone's salute.

King Ying and Zhu En are really a very good match, the beauty of both of them can be called the national color, and now they are dressed up to be even more dazzling, and they have saluted the Queen Mother, and they are seated under the emperor.

"The king of England has become a parent, and we have completed a big task, and the mourning family thinks that today is a rare and festive day, why don't you have a double happiness?" The Queen Mother smiled and spoke, her eyes looking at the emperor.

"Oh? What does the Queen Mother think? The Emperor removed the shawl from his shoulders and shook his shoulders to soothe the stiffened bones.

"The mourning family looked at the British royal couple and He Meimei today, and thought of King Qi, he is older than the British king, but now he has no family background, and he doesn't even have a woman to serve closely, wouldn't it make people blame us for not taking good care of us? Fang Mianmian introduced this poor girl, and the mourning family looked like a match for the King of Qi, so it was better for us to marry them, and it would be better for the royal family to save face. ”

The Queen Mother smiled lightly, she knew that the emperor would not refuse.

"That's exactly what I mean, as long as the queen mother thinks it's appropriate, she can immediately issue a decree to canonize her, but I also have to ask the meaning of the girl, this brother of mine is now injured and bedridden, I'm afraid I can't have a grand wedding, but I won't let you be wronged, are you willing?" The emperor glanced at Xiao Li'er's submissive appearance and was quite satisfied.

"Li'er obeys the arrangement of His Majesty and the Queen Mother." Xiao Li'er has taken out her life's acting skills at the moment, and the whole person is obviously a little girl who has no opinions and does not understand the world, if Ruan Mianmian and Jiang Xinyue didn't know in advance, I am afraid they would also think that she is such a fragile and gentle girl.

Fang Dacang and Mu Ruqing were stunned for a while, they still didn't understand how these girls became a battle line after a while, and they didn't expect Xiao Li'er to cooperate so much, and sure enough, the woman's affairs had to be solved by the woman herself.
