Chapter 23: Marriage (2)
The matter that the holy decree did not come down, Lan Yi did not want to chew it on others even if he had a score in his heart, for fear that there would be a turning point when the time came, and he would miss Mu Hesheng's lifelong event, so he only said: "It's just that I talked about the palace banquet and mentioned His Royal Highness King Tiyu, and the first few masters in the palace didn't speak, who dares to talk nonsense." ”
Pei Miaoqing said: "I mean. However, if Miss Mu really marries King Yu, it will be a blessing, and the character like the pearl of King Yu will shine wherever she goes. She leaned closer to Lan Yi, "Eldest sister, have you ever thought about marrying King Yu?" ”
Lan Yi shook her head, she really doesn't have to hide it from anyone now, "I didn't think about it, within the thousand red walls, everyone has their own abacus, I'm not smart, I just hope that ordinary people will get it through this life, at best, it is a couple for a lifetime, a favored prince like King Yu, born and handsome, there must be many warblers and Yanyan around me, and I can't afford to cling to it." ”
Pei Miaoqing said with a smile: "But some people say that there are more infatuated lovers in the heavenly family, and the eldest sister knows the Empress Xianxiao, right?" She and Emperor Pingjia, isn't it just that the deep love between the sword has become a good story? Maybe the eldest sister also has that kind of blessing. ”
Lan Yi glanced at her and said lightly: "Empress Xianxiao is not a natural queen, she was also brought to that position step by step by the daughter of the ordinary Fu family, who knows what hardships and dangers she has experienced in the middle?" And the story of deep sword love, not everyone can get it, I asked myself if I don't have the ability and luck of Queen Xianxiao, so naturally I won't think about those things that have been passed down through the ages. ”
Pei Miaoqing was thoughtful, and didn't speak again after that.
The thoughts of the daughters, no matter how serious they are, still carry a trace of naivety, no matter how this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is lived, back to Pei Mansion, the sisters gradually stopped talking after a few days, and they chatted together, at most they were worried about their own marriage, and if they really want to talk about their future fate, they will eventually have to depend on how the people in the palace arrange.
This day is already the Lantern Festival, and there is a banquet in the palace, according to the meaning of Concubine Ying, Wei Changyuan's side concubine and Wei Changze's main concubine can be given. And the lord of the Jin family and the housemother are also anxious about Jin Yiyan's marriage these days, and it just so happened that they sent a lot of things to Changfu Palace on this day, and sent their daughter to Ying Guifei to serve for a long time, nominally to honor the concubine, but in fact, they wanted to find a better way out for her.
Originally, because the Jin family has been a little publicized recently, lest it will cause the emperor to be unhappy if they have a relationship with them, and Jin Yiyan's identity is there, I didn't think that she would be willing to be just a side concubine, Ying Guifei has never had any ideas, but the Jin family is so knowledgeable, she thought about it for a while, and her heart was a little loose, so she opened her mouth.
Compared with the concubine who was Wei Changjue, Jin Yiyan was obviously more eager to go to the Qi Palace, under the temptation of Concubine Ying, the little girl's whole person was happy, and she almost couldn't hold the stability that lasted for a long time, and said loudly: "If the concubine Niangniang is willing to raise the courtiers, of course the courtiers are grateful, everyone in this palace knows that she would rather be a flower and a grass in Changfu Palace than a person in Weiyang Palace." ”
When these words came into her ears, Concubine Ying felt comfortable, "But you have to think clearly, your identity is able to be the main room, go to the Qi Palace, and go to the Qi Palace's concubine room, the palace feels a little wronged by you." ”
Jin Yiyan had already turned Wei Changyuan's figure several times in his heart, he was as handsome as tomorrow's man, if he became his husband, what a face-saving thing, where did he care about what concubines were not concubines, not to mention that the family also instructed, as long as the marriage of the third prince was pushed, it would be okay, so she hurried and said: "Not to mention that His Royal Highness King Qi is the dragon and phoenix among the people, just the prince you taught is already a courtier who is not worthy, where will he be wronged?" ”
Concubine Ying's maiden family is useless, and she often makes a deficit, but the palace is dotted, her son is a concubine, and she has to consider her own silver everywhere, just because the Jin family has money, looking at the gifts that have not yet been picked up, Concubine Ying feels that this family business is not much worse than Pei Lanyi, not to mention that the Jin family is willing to be a small low, and before people have passed the door, they will rush to post the money, and it may be better to handle it in the future.
"Then tonight, the palace will mention it to the emperor, you prepare well at home, the concubine is not as good as the concubine, and some etiquette will not be so thorough, but the palace can hurt you in my heart, you just know it in your heart." Concubine Ying smiled lovingly.
Jin Yiyan couldn't hide the smile on his face, and said sweetly: "Niangniang's words, the courtiers keep them in their hearts, they are ......"
"What's it?"
Jin Yiyan hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The original concubine of King Qi should be Pei Lanyi, will she think that it is the courtiers who have robbed her of her position?" She has a fierce and jealous temperament, if she quarrels with her courtiers again because of this matter in the future, it will not only lose the face of the courtiers, but also the face of the Qi Palace. ”
Concubine Ying said nonchalantly: "What grabbed the position, the palace didn't say before that she must be Changyuan's side concubine." What's more, the side concubine can't do it, there are still two concubines in the Qi Palace's vacant positions, it's a big deal to reward her with a concubine, she is a head shorter than you, so naturally she can't make any more trouble. ”
This is really unexpected for Jin Yiyan, I didn't expect that the person who can't fight on the verbal scene will end up being lower than his own status, you must know that there can only be one concubine and side concubine of this prince, and you can count from the concubine downward, there can be two or more; And the concubine and the side concubine still have a certain amount of dignity, and the concubine has nothing left.
It can be seen that the old man's words are not wrong, feng shui takes turns, no one knows who will go to whose house one day, and now this good luck is clearly that he will no longer care for the little hoof surnamed Pei.
As soon as Jin Yiyan left the palace that night, she told everyone the good news, but the mother of the Jin family was dumbfounded, she clearly remembered that she just asked Jin Yiyan to please the concubine, and pushed off the marriage with the third prince, by the way, to see if she could find other young talents and ask the concubine to give her the honor of marriage, why is this daughter so stupid that she is willing to go to someone else to be small?
Fortunately, the emperor's decree has not yet come down, maybe after a palace banquet, things may be variable, so everyone in the family is waiting in a panic, only Jin Yiyan is in the boudoir, fantasizing about how to please her husband in the future, how to trample Lan Yi under her feet.
Like the Jin family, everyone in the Pei family is also waiting for news in the palace, but the Pei family is no better than the Mu family and the Jin family, and they don't have so much ability to find out the details, Pei Gui can only walk back and forth like ants on a hot pot, trying in vain to suppress the uneasiness in his heart.
In fact, a few people in the palace are talking about Princess Yu at the moment, and they are all happy.
"It's time for the emperor to marry a wife, the girl of the Mu family is a very good person, if the emperor thinks it's good, then he really has a heart for the concubine." There are no ministers here, Concubine Ying barely concealed her words, and looked at the emperor's gaze with some burning meaning, "The emperor gave Changze such a good daughter-in-law, and the concubine should thank the emperor well." ”
The emperor laughed loudly, "This is also Changze's good vision, follow you, pick the best girl away, the Mu family's style is rigorous, after the Mu family girl becomes Princess Yu, it will inevitably make Changze's back house worry-free." ”
Wei Changze also thanked him with a smile, "Thank you to my father for the marriage, after my son marries a wife, he will definitely be more sensible and filial, and share his father's worries." ”
Ying Guifei didn't exist as the queen, and talked about her other son again, "Speaking of Changyuan's side concubine, the concubine is also optimistic, the daughter of the Jin family is good, she knows the general situation, and she is willing to honor the concubine between actions, and the concubine thinks, so that the person who knows the cold and the hot is placed in the Qi Palace, and Huayin can also save a lot of things." ”
Princess Xiao Huayin of Qi has always been a little afraid of this mother-in-law, and when she heard her say this at this moment, even if she had a thousand grievances in her heart, she had to smile gently, and said weakly: "Everything is decided by the mother and the father, if the daughter of the Jin family is a good one, and she can help her sons when she enters the mansion, her sons will only be grateful." ”
Who knew that the emperor didn't see Fang Cai's happiness on his face, and just asked: "Is it the child of the Imperial Historian of the Left Deputy Capital?" ”
Ying Guifei said: "Exactly." ”
The emperor glanced at the queen and said lightly: "Coincidentally, the queen also came to ask to marry the daughter of this family." ”
Concubine Ying looked at the queen and said with a smile: "I didn't expect the concubine's eyes to be so similar to the queen's mother." ”
The queen's voice was slightly cold, "The concubine has already married her favorite daughter-in-law today, why don't you let this little girl of the Jin family enter Prince Gong's mansion, you like the girl of the Jin family so much, and you are reluctant to let her only be a side concubine, right?" ”
Concubine Ying had already promised Jin Yiyan that she would not let her marry Wei Changjue, and secondly, she was worried about the power and gold and silver of the Jin family, and she was even more reluctant to let her go to others again, no matter what, she had to fight for it, "The queen's words are a little wrong, the girl of the Jin family is a concubine, but the Jin family is just a slave who works for the emperor, even if it is the side concubine of the Qi Palace, it is not a grievance against her." ”
The queen snorted, smiled lightly and said, "Are you going to rob the palace?" ”
Concubine Ying was clever and tongue-in-cheek, "The girl of the Jin family has a valuable character, who doesn't want to ask for a marriage?" What does the mother say about robbing or not, it's not very good, and those who don't know think that the masters and ladies in our palace don't understand the rules. What's more, Miss Jin said it herself, love our Changyuan to act steadily and generously, if you are asked to marry by the queen mother, and Changjue and Changjue have become a pair of resentful couples, it will not be good. ”
"You ......" the queen was angry, a person who was already accustomed to living a quiet life without fighting or grabbing, when she encountered her child's lifelong events, she couldn't help but raise her voice and wanted to express something, "You didn't respect the palace, and now you want to compete with the palace, have you ever had the palace in your eyes since you served the emperor!" This golden girl is too, the words of the matchmaker of her parents' orders are what the daughters of the boudoir should abide by, and she is not ashamed of what she says about love and disobedience! ”
