Standing in the study, An Guogong frowned tightly, with a melancholy expression.

Footsteps sounded outside, and An Guogong couldn't help but look in the direction of the gate.

Duchess An Guo walked in by a maidservant.

Stepping into the threshold, the maidservant consciously withdrew from the door and closed the door of the study.

Gong An Guo sighed, "In the palace, how is it?" ”

Early this morning, Duchess An Guo used the excuse of visiting her daughter to enter the palace to investigate the truth.

Sitting down on the chair, pouring herself a cup of tea to moisten her throat, Duchess Anguo said: "Concubine Li said that Lin'er will not go to the Jingwei camp for more than ten days in a row, the emperor is really worried, but it is approaching the New Year, and the Jingwei camp has a heavy task, if Lin'er does not go again, his position may be replaced by someone from the Ningguo Mansion." ”

When An Guogong heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched.

The Anguo Mansion and the Ningguo Mansion are not political enemies, but the relationship between the two families is not very good.

Only......

The Ningguo Mansion has never taken the initiative to be an enemy of the Anguo Mansion.

Why did Lin'er claim that she was sick for only ten days, and there was movement in the Ningguo Mansion.

Duchess An Guo looked at An Guogong's face, knowing that he was suspicious, so she said: "You don't have to think about it, the Ningguo Mansion asked the emperor for grace two months ago, and wanted to find a position for his family, not deliberately to take away our Lin'er." ”

Duchess An Guo said, An Guogong's face was a little pale.

"The prince of the Ningguo Mansion, who has always had no intention of pursuing a career, how can he ask for grace well?"

Duchess Anguo shook her head, "This, Concubine Li Niangniang also tested Your Majesty, but Your Majesty never said it, and Niangniang didn't dare to ask too much, and you know Your Majesty's temperament." ”

An Guogong sighed.

"Where is the Queen Mother?" After a moment of silence, An Guogong said again.

Duchess Anguo's face changed. ，

"The Queen Mother, I heard that all the palace people in the dormitory have been sent to the Punishment Division."

An Guogong was shocked when he heard this, "So ruthless? ”

Duchess An Guo nodded.

"Zhao Fuhai is the first chief attendant in front of the Queen Mother, this person has disappeared, can the Queen Mother not be angry!"

"But what did the cross-examination come about?"

Duchess An Guo shook her head, "You also know that the Queen Mother has always disliked our house, and she doesn't even like Concubine Li, and she doesn't allow the Queen Mother to ask for peace on weekdays, how dare the Queen Mother spy on the situation of the Queen Mother." ”

Taking a sip of tea, Duchess An Guo said again: "However, Niangniang said that at twilight yesterday, His Majesty went to the Queen Mother to ask for peace, and I heard that she was scolded. ”

When An Guogong heard this, his heart jumped fiercely.

Duchess An Guo saw his reaction and said, "Is it ...... with that incident sixteen years ago?"

An Guogong's originally dull face suddenly became gloomy, "Don't mention it again." ”

Duchess An Guo immediately shut up.

For a while, the study room fell silent, and the air was a little stagnant.

Thinking of the incident sixteen years ago, Duchess An Guo only felt cold under her feet and a chill down her spine.

Turning his hand and pouring another cup of hot tea, holding it in his hand, wanting to warm up the cold fingers.

After being silent for a while, Duchess An Guo said again: "Niangniang said, let me find Lin'er quickly, if I can't find it within ten days, I'm afraid that Lin'er's position will be taken away, as for Zhao Fuhai, Niangniang means, we don't have to be too anxious, but if we are in a hurry, it will make the Queen Mother suspicious, anyway, Zhao Fuhai and us are also private." ”

An Guogong said: "I'm only afraid of ......"

The words began, and then paused.

sighed.

"That's it, maybe I'm thinking too much, you go and rest, Lin'er, I've already sent someone to check again."

Duchess An Guo nodded, with worry on her face, and got up to leave.

When he walked to the door, he suddenly paused and turned his head to look at An Guogong.

"By the way, Concubine Li's meaning is that if Xin'er insists on marrying the Fourth Highness, it doesn't hurt if she marries."

Xu Xin is the third lady from the Anguo Mansion.

The temperament is flamboyant and domineering, but people are born bright.

Last year, I went to Yongchang Temple to pray for blessings, but because the road was slippery in the snow, the carriage was out of control and almost had an accident.

Fortunately, the fourth prince Shen Yue passed by and rescued him.

For the shot of the four princes, the Anguo Mansion sent a thank you gift.

But since that day, Xu Xin fell in love with Shen Yue at first sight, and this person would not marry.

Shen Yue is just a broken prince who is not treated well by the emperor.

What is the status of the Anguo Mansion!

With An Guogong's strength in the court, his daughter, the person who wants to marry, must be the future son of heaven.

An Guogong has a total of three concubines.

The eldest daughter has entered the palace and is Concubine Li.

Although the second daughter Xu Wei is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, her appearance is not as bright as that of the third daughter.

Originally, Duke An Guo wanted his third daughter to marry the eldest prince, and the Duke of Anguo assisted the eldest prince to ascend the throne, and the third daughter was the future queen.

The second daughter married Xiao Yonghou.

Marquis Xiaoyong holds the power of the army, and he is the companion of the eldest prince since he was a child, although he has not had many contacts in recent years, but that is only hindering His Majesty's taboo on forming parties for personal gain.

These arrangements were mentioned by An Guogong to Concubine Li.

After all, the prince's marriage needs the emperor's marriage.

Why is Concubine Li ...... now?

"What do you mean?"

Duchess An Guo said: "Xin'er has been arrogant since she was a child, and she doesn't eat at all, her temperament, if she marries His Royal Highness the Great Prince, she may not be a good match, if she becomes a resentful couple, she can't be the icing on the cake but becomes a burden." ”

An Guogong was stunned.

This......

He hadn't thought about it.

Aren't all men women who like to be charming and bright?

His eighteen aunts are all bright and moving.

Even if there are some small temperaments, those small temperaments will be ignored because they are good-looking.

Duchess Anguo looked at her own lustful ** gentleman, and rolled her eyes angrily.

"Xin'er is beautiful, but she can marry His Royal Highness the eldest prince, after all, she is the concubine, and what the concubine does is not only to be beautiful as a flower, but also to win the hearts of the people for His Royal Highness the eldest prince and take care of the inner house."

Do you think it's easy for us lady of the main house?

Eat with your face, what kind of good food can you eat!

Ignorant and shallow men.

was said by Duchess An Guo, An Guogong couldn't help but wonder, as if it was a little reasonable.

All the high-ranking families he knew, the lady of the main house, were like his wife, and they just looked passable.

To put it this way......

Xin'er is so beautiful, she can only be a partial room?!

"But even if Xin'er and His Royal Highness the Great Prince can't get married, then we can't marry her to His Royal Highness, we marry His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness is afraid that He will have thoughts that he shouldn't have, but it will block His Royal Highness the Great Prince."

After a pause, An Guogong said again: "Moreover, His Royal Highness is not favored by His Majesty, Xin'er marries him as a princess, and she will not be crushed by other princesses in the future, how can this Xin'er stand it." I can't bear to be so wronged by my daughter. ”

An Guogong waved his hand, his face full of determination.

This matter is not negotiable.
