Ning Yi lowered his eyes when he heard this, ignoring the bitterness in his heart, and only said with a faint smile: "Otherwise? Sooner or later, you're going to get married, aren't you? "No matter who you marry, what difference does it make if you don't want it.

The Manchurian and Mongolian marriage was created as early as the □□ Nurhachi period, trying to control the wild wolf in the north in his own hands with family affection, and now, Manchu and Mongolia have long been inseparable.

Ning Yi took the cup on the table again, "Not to mention the marriages in the past, how much dissatisfaction has been caused over the years because of the treaty with those foreigners to reclaim Mongolia. ”

"These grievances, but you can't suppress them if you don't succeed?" Qiu Lu was not convinced.

"Of course not, it's just that it looks good on the surface." Ning Yi exhaled heavily, looked out the window, and muttered, "At least on the surface, we have to tell those people that we still remember the Manmeng family." ”

Qiu Lu didn't understand this, but looked at her distressedly: "But... Can.. But Gege, that palace is not a good stubble, you don't know, last year's "Beijing Daily" also said that the prince ordered the slave of the family to bury a concubine alive in the dry well of the palace for no reason. ”

That place is no less than a tiger's den and a wolf's den.

"Oh?" Ning Yi didn't care about what Qiu Lu said, but was curious: "This newspaper is a little bold. ”

"It's just a pity that the newspaper was just closed a few days ago, and the person surnamed Peng who ran the newspaper was also sentenced to exile in Xinjiang." Qiu Lu also sighed regretfully, and immediately reacted after speaking, "Oh Gege, what kind of newspaper do you care about at this time, now you should think about your family." ”

Ning Yi poured another glass of water, "This face-saving family in the capital, there is nothing dirty in it, and besides, marriage is not something I can decide after all, but my mother, I'm afraid I'm going to be sad again." ”

Liu Jiashi gave birth to three sons and one daughter in his life.

The youngest son's name is Zaitao, he has grown up in her arms since he was a child, and he can be said to be the son she values and cares about the most, and that is also Ning Yi's seventh brother. When he was eleven years old, the Queen Mother suddenly passed him on to Yimo Beizi as his son. After receiving Yi's order, Liu Jiashi cried to death, but there was no choice but to marry Zaitao as a daughter.

The old couple had no children under their knees, and they were naturally very happy to have a son, who was married as a daughter, and was born as a son, and the matter was considered to be harmonious, but five years later, because he couldn't stand Cixi's misdeeds, Yimo privately complained about the queen mother's power, and he didn't know how the queen mother knew, which was terrible. The Queen Mother made another decree to re-pass Zaitao, who had been passed on to Yimo for five years, to Wang Yixu of Zhongjun, and Yimo died of anger not long after receiving Yimo's decree. That's not all, Cixi asked Zaitao to go to the sacrifice on her behalf, Zaitao has this identity, naturally he can't kneel in front of the spirit, and Yimo's old wife is so angry that she whimpered when she saw this.

Then Liu Jia's second son Zaixun, Ning Yi's sixth brother was also the queen mother to be succeeded as the descendant of Ruijun Wang Yizhi, and then gave Zaifeng a marriage, and the third son was the only one who stayed by his side, but he couldn't escape the fiddling of the queen mother, it can be said that who hates the queen mother the most in this house is none other than Liu Jia's.

"The mother's health has finally improved after Wuge was born, but I'm afraid that my affairs will make her worry about it again."

Qiu Lu bit her lip and was aggrieved for her: "You always think about others in your heart, why don't you think about yourself, it's you who will live in the future!" Are you really willing? ”

Willing? If before, she could tell Qiu Lu without hesitation that as Gege, since she lived better than others, she should pay the price she should pay, which is justified, but now, Ning Yi is silent, and her heart seems to be a little shaken.

"If you don't go and beg Princess Rongshou, she is the only one who can speak in front of the Queen Mother."

"Big sister?" Ning Yi bit her lower lip.

Although Princess Rongshou is her sister, but the age difference between the two is a lot, plus she originally looked old, and after being widowed, she didn't wear any fancy clothes, didn't do any makeup, and didn't participate in any banquets, Ning Yi has always had no friendship with this sister, and she has no contact.

Ning Yi sat down, looking a little restrained, even the Queen Mother had never made her so nervous, maybe Rong Shou always had a strict and depressing temperament, Ning Yi always felt a little uncomfortable.

"Are you here to beg me to speak to you in front of the Queen Mother and cancel the idea of marriage between you and the Mongolian prince?" Rong Shou raised his eyes to look at this sister who was rare to see.

Ning Yi couldn't hear what kind of attitude she was talking about, so she only said: "Ning Yi is still young, and she still wants to stay by her mother's side more." ”

"Sixteen is not small." Before Ning Yi finished speaking, she heard Rong Shou interrupt her, "I was younger than you when I got married, didn't I get married?" ”

"I..."

Rong Shou didn't seem to have any intention of listening to her, and only raised his eyes to look at her once, "What?" Do you have someone in your heart? ”

"Nope." Ning Yi was stunned, lowered his head and shook his head.

Rong Shou looked away, put down the tea lid in his hand, and put the tea bowl in his hand on the table, making a dull sound.

The whole palace was quiet, although Ning Yi was disappointed, she also knew that this was her big sister's character, this was still good, if she just said that she was unwilling to marry because she had someone in her heart, I was afraid that this big sister who obeyed the three obedience and four virtues would be able to let herself come out or say two words.

After Ning Yi came out of the palace, he walked on the road without reluctance, as if he didn't think about anything in his heart, but it was like pressing a big stone.

"Gege, be careful." Ning Yi was pulled to the side by Qiu Lu, dodging the person she had just almost bumped into.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." It was a little girl who bumped into her, and she kept apologizing to Ning Yi with her head down.

Ning Yi raised her hand to support her bent body, and said softly, "It's okay, be careful next time." ”

The little girl breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did she dare to raise her eyes and look at the noble person timidly, and when she saw Ning Yi, her black eyes suddenly lit up: "Benefactor!" ”

Ning Yi saw this delicate little girl who seemed to know herself, and said softly: "You know me? ”

Qiu Lu stepped forward, bent down, and asked her, "Little girl, who are you?" How did you know my young lady? ”

The little girl saw that Ning Yi was dressed in a noble dress, her face was slightly red, she bit her lower lip, she was excited just now and didn't pay attention, but now she was a little panicked, and muttered: "It was the benefactor who saved me and my grandfather that day." ”。

Ning Yi saw her fawn-like eyes and glanced at her pitifully occasionally, looking soft-hearted, looking at the pear orchard signboard in front of her.
