After a while, Mrs. Wu Yingjun, who had changed into a honey-colored dress, walked in, but she didn't bring the Su sisters behind her, and the Queen Mother excused her from the courtesy, invited her to sit, and said with a smile: "I was talking to Sister Wen that Jiayi is a good boy, why did my sister come here alone?" Sister Wen wants to see her future daughter-in-law a few more times! ”

At this moment, the surrounding waiters did not retreat, this is the official decision of the matter, Mrs. Wu Yingjun pursed her lips and smiled: "She was absent-minded at the banquet just now, and she didn't eat a few bites, but now she is hungry, and she is taking pastries to satisfy her hunger." ”

"How does this work?" Concubine Wen immediately said, "Because it is a full moon banquet today, there will inevitably be a lot of noise at the banquet, and it is common for you to not be able to eat for a while, but now that you feel hungry, how can you fill it with pastries?" It's not that there is no small kitchen in this Ganquan Palace - the Queen Mother, if the fire breaks out in the small kitchen of the Yidian Palace, I will have to send someone from the Le Nian Palace to do it! ”

asked Mrs. Wuyingjun Su Jiayi what dishes she liked, and Empress Dowager Gao smiled and said, "Sister, look, now that the daughter-in-law has not passed the door, this mother-in-law will hurt first." ”

Mrs. Wu Yingjun smiled decently: "The concubine likes Jiayi, this is Jiayi's blessing, I have long heard that the concubine is virtuous and gentle, and Jiayi can be happy with King Gaoyang, which is really my heart." ”

Empress Dowager Gao said again: "Jiayi won't come here, there is a good thing she can't get when she sees it." Looking not far away, Mrs. Wuyingjun recognized that it was the vermilion brocade box that Su Zijun took from the Le Nian Palace, so she said, "But the one that Zijun took from?" ”

"It's that box, but it's not a congratulatory gift for Huilang, but Sister Wen specially prepared it for her daughter-in-law, Princess Gaoyang." Empress Dowager Gao is colorful.

When Mrs. Wu Yingjun heard this, she didn't ask anymore, and said with a smile: "But I connived at her too much, so I'll call her over." ”

Because she left her two daughters alone, Concubine Wen knew that there must be something to avoid the Su sisters to talk to the Empress Dowager Gao, seeing that she had not opened her mouth so far, she guessed that she was probably trying to avoid herself, so she got up and said: "Don't, she is hungry now, the Queen Mother is used to eating lightly, and the young girl's family may not be able to get used to it, so it is better to go to me, because Shiro often comes, my cook there has prepared an extra dish that will make slightly heavier dishes." ”

Empress Dowager Gao also guessed that Mrs. Wuyingjun had something to say to herself, and she also had something to tell Mrs. Wuyingjun, so she immediately followed Concubine Wen's words and said to Mrs. Wuyingjun: "You let Sister Wen go, she is still praising Jiayi, unfortunately there are many people today and there is no time to say a few more words, now she is thinking about being closer to her future daughter-in-law, let's not be that wicked person to stop it." ”

In this way, Concubine Wen took the vermilion brocade box and went out with a smile, and the Empress Dowager Gao sent everyone else, including the Song family, away, and only the two sisters spoke, and Mrs. Wuyingjun was inconvenient to speak directly because of what she wanted to say, so she said: "What is in that box?" ”

"In terms of preciousness, it is not priceless, it is a jasper hairpin." Empress Dowager Gao said, "But she was taken down by her nursing mother when she was an infant, and her mother's relics were specially kept and passed on to her son-in-law." ”

She smiled and asked her sister, "How is Shiro, my sister just saw it, right?" is a gentle child, Concubine Wen taught him to be strict, otherwise how could I ask you to come to Yedu on purpose? ”

Mrs. Wu Yingjun bowed slightly: "King Gaoyang is indeed good. ”

Empress Dowager Gao was pleased: "That's right, I asked someone to draw up a decree and send it over, the dowry is ready-made, the palace was also built last year, and now there are a few places left that have not been done, it also depends on the meaning of the future princess, and my sister will talk to Jiayi to see what charter she has." ”

"Now that things are about to be settled, there is no hurry." Mrs. Wu Yingjun can be regarded as finding an entry point, and said busily, "I'm more worried about another thing. ”

Empress Dowager Gao looked at her inquiringly.

Mrs. Wu Yingjun said: "You see, Jiayi is my youngest daughter, Zi Jun is the eldest daughter, originally we said good, learn the lessons of Eleven Niang, first let the children meet each other, if they agree and then give marriage, so as not to make a pair of resentful couples, I thought about it, Zi Yi and Jiayi are comparable in appearance, in terms of talent and learning, all of them are empowered by piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, speaking of sex. Son, both of them are lively, and King Gaoyang may have taken a fancy to his sister......"

"This marriage is destined, where can we say that it can be calculated?" When Empress Dowager Gao heard this, she laughed and said, "What's more, Jiayi is also born to her sister, just now I saw Zi Jun take the jasper hairpin and give it to Concubine Wen, and there is nothing unpleasant about her face...... " She groaned slightly, and said tentatively, "I don't see that Zi Jun doesn't look like he is interested in Shiro, could it be that you said something in private just now?" ”

"How can Zijun fight with his sister?" Mrs. Wu Yingjun immediately said, "And it's not that King Gaoyang is bad, it's just that she thinks that King Gaoyang is too elegant, and everyone has their own eyes, but it's not a good or bad thing." ”

Empress Dowager Gao relieved her heart at this time, because Su Zijun and Su Jiayi are close in age, as Mrs. Wuyingjun said, the two sisters are comparable in all aspects, but King Gaoyang only has one, and now he is the only prince in the royal family who has not been married.

She smiled and said, "In that case, what else is my sister worried about?" ”

"I said, Zi Jun is the eldest daughter." Mrs. Wu Yingjun said, "This sister hasn't been out of the cabinet yet, but my sister has married out first, in the end, it's not what it looks like, and it has been passed out back, and she said what's wrong with Zijun, this sister is married, and she hasn't been out of the cabinet yet!" ”

Empress Dowager Gao smiled unconsciously: "Sister said this, who doesn't know the name of you, the eldest daughter of the Gao family?" Your eldest daughter, how can there be anything bad? But what my sister said also makes sense, although Zijun and Jiayi are only one year apart, but now that Jiayi has a settlement, Zijun must find a good family in the end. ”

As he spoke, he asked Mrs. Wu Yingjun, "What are your sister's plans?" ”

"You know that I am far away from Yingzhou, and in the nearby counties over there, I can't find a more prominent family than the Su family." Mrs. Wu Yingjun sighed, "Otherwise, how could I have left Zi Jun until now that I am sixteen, and I have not yet been married?" To tell the truth, even if there is no matter of King Gaoyang's selection of concubines this time, if you don't have anyone to tell me, I will try to go back to Yedu to find a good family for them. ”

Empress Dowager Gao thought about it carefully and said: "The Gao family does not have a very desirable Lang Jun now, and Qu Shuqing of the Qu family has also become married, as if there are several Lang Jun of the Ouyang family and the Ji family who have not yet married, which is not bad, but the Ji family died because of Ji Jianran's wife, and several Lang Jun are now worried. ”

Mrs. Wu Yingjun frowned.

Empress Dowager Gao saw her reluctance, so she asked with concern, "Sister, what's wrong?" ”

"Zi Jun is the eldest sister, Jiayi is the younger sister, the so-called eldest and youngest are orderly, but it is Jiayi who is married to the king of Gaoyang, and the one who turns around to be a sister has to salute his sister, this is ......" Mrs. Wuyingjun said this, seeing that the Empress Dowager Gao's face changed, and explained, "I'm not talking about the two of us, after all, our age is placed there, and there is nothing to compare, in the end, you are destined to be the person of the world, but Zi Jun and Jiayi are only one year apart, and now they are in the face with the King of Gaoyang, and the two of them went together, and Jiayi became the princess, Looking back and still have no place to go, don't you think I should worry about their sisters in the future because of this? ”

Originally, Empress Dowager Gao heard her say, "As an elder sister, she actually wants to salute her sister", and she was really unhappy, but when she heard Mrs. Wu Yingjun say that she was worried about the gap between her sisters, she was concerned - isn't she also worried about the relationship between her three biological sons now? Therefore, his dissatisfaction with Mrs. Wu Yingjun faded, and he thought carefully for a moment, and wondered: "But Shiro just took a fancy to Jiayi, and Jiayi is on the right side with him today, can't this make them change people again?" However, the royal family now has no one to do! ”

When Mrs. Wu Yingjun heard this, she couldn't help but remind: "Isn't Your Majesty still married?" ”

Empress Dowager Gao was stunned for a moment, and then she saved the meaning of Mrs. Wuyingjun, and unconsciously changed color slightly and said: "Sister, you actually want to call Zi Jun ......."

"Isn't it possible?" Mrs. Wu Yingjun said tentatively, "Now the most outstanding four mothers and five mothers and eight mothers of the Gao family have all left the cabinet, and there is only eleven mothers left, and Langjun who is in love with the Qu family, otherwise, I would not have opened this mouth, in the end, I am also the daughter of the Gao family!" ”

Empress Dowager Gao sighed: "Our sisters-in-law, how can I mean this?" It's just that you also saw those concubines of Saburo today, and I won't hide it from you - you saw the most beautiful one today, right? There is another one in the Anfu Palace who looks no less than her! In addition, in this time, the newcomer selected by the selection, Huan Fat Yan is thin, San Lang is young in the end, it is difficult to stop in terms of beauty, when he called the niece of the Ouyang family into the palace, he first sealed Zhaoxun, and was calculated by these lowly things, if it wasn't for me to maintain, now I'm afraid that even my life will be gone, even so, this will just be a life in the Lanlin Palace not far away, you look at Youshu, what a clever and smiling girl back then? Within a few years of entering the palace, I have obviously been silent a lot, and this is still the result of me taking care of it everywhere! Zijun is your biological daughter and my niece, where can I wronged her? ”

Mrs. Wu Yingjun said disapprovingly: "It's not me who boasts about it - the Shunhua in the palace today is indeed beautiful and fragrant, and the other concubines are also born well, according to me, if not, how can you be the imperial concubine?" Your Majesty himself is a handsome and unparalleled man, and the women around him are slightly inferior in appearance, so it is simply impossible to stand, not to mention, those from humble backgrounds, in addition to beauty, what capital can be the imperial concubine? But if they are placed among them, even if they can't overwhelm the crowd, they will never be compared to anyone! What's more, it is precisely because there are these concubines from humble backgrounds but who occupy the emperor's favor in the palace that there should be a queen of noble birth to suppress their arrogance! Otherwise, wouldn't it be overturned? ”

Empress Dowager Gao frowned and said, "Although you were not in Yedu at the time about the Jiang family before, I heard my sister-in-law say that she wrote to tell you?" ”

"I don't know what the Jiang family looks like, but now Princess Na Xiping is her daughter, I was pointed at by Youshu and looked at it a few times, the princess's eyebrows don't look like Your Majesty, I think it was passed on to the Jiang family, right?" Mrs. Wu Yingjun snorted, "That's it, I think it's far worse than Zijun!" Here are our two daughters of the Gao family, I will tell you the truth, they are not bad, no matter how you look at them, they are all talented and beautiful girls, but in terms of beauty alone, they are far worse than my two daughters, when His Majesty was preparing for the wedding, Zi Jun and Jiayi were still young, and I didn't think much about it, but now the Gao family has no suitable girl, and Du Zijun is also the granddaughter of the Gao family! This palace is now lively, but she is still Zuo Zhaoyi in charge, I tell you the truth, no matter how good you treat Youshu, she is also surnamed Qu! ”

"Didn't Hui Lang keep it by my side and raise it himself?" Empress Dowager Gao said, "What she raised was just a princess, after all, according to the intention of the first emperor, she was to be set up as the queen, because of San Lang's opposition, this matter has not been able to be done, she is in this palace, she really suffered from the cheap palace people from the slut a lot of anger, San Lang never went to her, she has been bitter enough for so many years, after the Jiang family went, she wanted to raise Xiping, but the Mu family took it away with a pampering side, and took the opportunity to promote the ......"

Mrs. Wu Yingjun is patient. When Zi heard this, he explained: "Where did I say that I shouldn't give Princess Changkang to Youshu to raise? I mean, that Guiluo Palace, since she couldn't live in it back then, it doesn't matter whether she was hindered by the favored concubine, or His Majesty's own meaning, that is, she is not blessed enough! ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Wu Yingjun lowered her voice and said, "At the beginning, when the family married you to the first emperor, you were just a princess, who would have thought that there would be a queen from this, and now you are still the queen mother?" It can be seen that it is fate! ”

Empress Dowager Gao saw that she was speaking vigorously for Su Zijun, so she frowned and said: "The position of the queen of Youshu was determined by the first emperor, and she ......."

"Of course, but you also think about it, now that our Gao family has you, the queen mother, and it is still ranked behind the Qu family, if the Qu family really has a queen, then let alone our Gao family, even the royal family will probably have to look sideways!" Mrs. Wu Yingjun snorted, "It can be seen that Your Majesty is only willing to give her the position of Zuo Zhaoyi, not necessarily for no reason!" ”

"Huh?" Empress Dowager Gao raised her eyebrows, and then said, "Don't talk about young Shu, just talk about Zi Jun, you said that she is good in everything, where do I think she is bad?" ”

Mrs. Wu Yingjun took advantage of the situation and said: "Since everything is good, then do you think that with her background, is it qualified to be your serious imperial daughter-in-law?" ”

Empress Dowager Gao sighed: "If I can call the shots, as you said, there is no suitable girl in the Gao family now, that is, you are my sister-in-law, your daughter, how can I not be partial?" It's just that...... Alas, I'll be honest with you, where is the best place to stay in this palace? Why didn't a girl in the Gao family enter the palace at the beginning, and this time she was selected, there was a reason why she entered the palace, not to mention that she was not a person in our big house! ”

The Queen Mother pursed her lips and reminded, "Back then, my sister-in-law, Mrs. Rongchangjun, brought Siniang into the palace, and I didn't want San Lang to take a fancy to her maid Jiang Zhenzhu, but she didn't fancy Siniang!" This incident made my sister-in-law so angry that she swore that she would never let any girl in the big room enter the palace! It was so easy for me to close my mouth up and down, and asked Siniang to marry the Ouyang family! That's my own son, how can I say he's not good? It's just that Saburo is on top of the woman...... It's not like that! Over the years, you have been in Yingzhou, but the Duke of Wuying County has not even had half a concubine, Zijun and Jiayi grew up in such an environment, Jiayi is okay, Shiro is a good boy, and Concubine Wen is also an understanding person, thinking of the face of the two of us, I will definitely not be able to treat Jiayi! What's more, I see that Shiro is also really moved by Jiayi, but Saburo - he is the Supreme! Look at the fact that he has only picked three times now, how many beauties are there in this palace? ”

"So you're worried about this." Mrs. Wu Yingjun smiled and said, "This queen is a person who is a mother in the world, where can she not have a little heart?" Didn't you come here like that? As for what you said about Zijun and Jiayi, it is true that their father has no concubines, but Shenlang has a lot of concubines, and his wife is a dignified and less amorous lord, and she is not too able to suppress the warbler Yanyan in the backyard. Let them learn a little bit...... I'll make a package ticket with you, if Zi Jun marries into the palace, the phoenix seal will definitely be stable! ”

Seeing that she was determined to help Su Zijun to the back seat, Empress Dowager Gao couldn't help but ask: "Sister, tell me the truth - today Zijun will jokingly and laugh with San Lang in front of many people, but what do you mean?" ”

- If this is the case, then Mrs. Wu Yingjun had a plan before she came, and she came to force herself!

The dignified daughter of the Su family, in front of the emperor's eldest son's full moon banquet, flirted with Ji Shen's eyebrows, this is what the concubines and clans in the palace are all looking at, even if they are afraid of the queen mother and Mrs. Wuyingjun, no one dares to discuss this matter publicly, after going back, how can they not mention it in private?

In this way, who would dare to marry this Su Zijun, can she not enter the palace!

Since she entered the palace, she is the niece of the queen mother's concubine, and the eldest daughter of the Su family in Yingzhou, now there are people in the palace left and right Zhaoyi, Zuo Zhaoyi Qu is the daughter of the Qu family, the first emperor told the Empress Dowager Gao to be the queen candidate hired by Ji Shen before his death, where can her status be shaken? Although the Sun family of Right Zhaoyi was disliked by the Queen Mother, she also gave birth to Princess Xintai in the end, and Ji Shen may not have forgotten all of her - the position of these two people is not easy to shake, is it that Su Zijun is subordinate to them?

With Mrs. Wu Yingjun's always arrogant heart, it's no wonder that she is willing to agree!

If he refuses, then he will only have to try to help Su Zijun ascend to the back position......

Although Empress Dowager Gao has always been in awe of this sister-in-law, and she is a sister of the same father and mother, she can't help but be slightly angry when she thinks of this.
