Chapter Ninety-One: Triumphant
"What? You say, what does the crown princess mean by letting me give my daughter to the little eunuch as a wife? This, how can this be? No, that's not going to work! ”
After Mrs. Zhao heard the message of the mother-in-law sent by the crown princess Zhang, she couldn't help but be shocked. She hugged her daughter Yang Surong and trembled for a long time before she fell to her knees with a puff and cried: "Please be gracious!" Please be gracious! If I really want my daughter to marry that eunuch, won't that kill her? ”
The mother-in-law sent by the Zhang family naturally knew the reason, and naturally had no good impression of such a girl who always wanted to climb high branches, but didn't know whether she was worthy of it. Immediately, he snorted coldly and said, "Yo! Mrs. Zhao, what did you say? Although the eunuch is just a eunuch and not a complete man, don't forget, he is the eunuch next to the Queen Mother! In this way, it is related to the Queen Mother. Tell me that your daughter is now being hugged and hugged, touched, and watched in public. If you refuse to marry her to a eunuch, this is what really cuts off her life, right? Or, do you look down on the queen mother as a master, so you don't want to marry your daughter? ”
With such a big hat buttoned down, no matter how thick-skinned Mrs. Rao is, she couldn't sit still at this time. She hurriedly begged for mercy: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that." I mean, my daughter is also an official lady, and now that such a thing has happened, but it has caused trouble for the crown princess. Please, do well, see if you can think of another way, like that, and put this matter down! ”
As she spoke, Mrs. Zhao obediently stuffed a gold coin in her hand into the woman's hand. The mother-in-law took the gold bill, weighed it in the palm of her hand, and the smile on her face became two points thicker. So he threw down a sentence lukewarmly and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll go to the crown princess to ask for you again." Let's see what Niangniang has to say, and then I'll pass it on to you! ”
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she was grateful again, and then she sent the mother-in-law away. After closing the door, Yang Surong got up from the bed, lay into her mother's arms, and cried loudly: "Mother, how can this be? Whining...... My daughter really can't live, my daughter might as well die! ”
Mrs. Zhao is also sad and angry in her heart, but she is well-informed, and she has always been the thickest, and she has already experienced an invulnerable copper wall and iron sheet in the backyard battle, knowing that in the face of interests, the so-called face is the least valuable. Now, the only way is to start with the crown princess Zhang.
patted his daughter on the back at the moment, but comforted: "My son, don't be busy and sad first." Now as long as this matter is covered, if the crown princess is willing to help us cover it up, it will not be spread. In this way, there is a turning point. You take care of your body first, listen to your mother's advice, there are always difficult times for people to live in the world, besides, didn't you attract the attention of His Royal Highness King Ding to you this time? He is such a golden beetle son-in-law, but he must not let it go! It's really not good, even if you are the side concubine of His Royal Highness, it's always beautiful, isn't it? ”
Yang Surong wiped away her tears, rekindled hope, and said to her mother: "Concubine Fang? You mean, let me give His Royal Highness a side concubine? ”
Mrs. Zhao thought that her daughter was unwilling to be small, so she hurriedly comforted: "Oh, my son, think about it, His Royal Highness King Ding is a prince, and he is the favorite prince of the emperor and the queen." You have also seen it with your own eyes today, he is of a good character and talented. Such a man is a side concubine for him, and it is better than being the wife of many ordinary men! ”
Yang Surong lowered his eyes a little shyly, and twisted for a long time before he whispered: "Mother, it's not that I don't want to be the side concubine of His Royal Highness, I'm just afraid...... You said that if Shangguan Wansu became a concubine, would she still be able to tolerate me? ”
Mrs. Zhao nodded and said, "That's true, but you don't have to be afraid." Do you think, as long as we can manage to make this Shangguan Wansu unable to be the princess of the king, won't it be done? ”
Yang Surong gritted his teeth and pondered for a while, and said, "Yes, judging from today's situation, His Royal Highness King Ding doesn't have a good impression of her. As long as Shangguan Wanxuan is not a concubine, her daughter feels that everyone else is not worried......".
"In that case, let's take a closer look. By the way, Niang suddenly remembered that someone in front of her threw a paper ball in and told her that His Royal Highness King Dingwang had made an appointment with Shangguan Wanyin to meet. Who do you think it will be for the person who sent us the paper ball? ”
Yang Surong frowned and complained: "Don't say it, the person who sent the paper ball must have bad intentions." Otherwise, we went in such a hurry, why did we end up meeting a little eunuch instead of His Royal Highness Dingwang? ”
Mrs. Zhao shook her head and said, "No, no, it's not that simple. Do you remember that if it wasn't for Shangguan Wanyin at that time, the person who fell into the water and was rescued later would have been her. In this way, the person who sent us the paper ball should have a bit of a holiday with Shangguan Wanyin. She probably didn't want Shangguan Wanyin to be happy, so she handed us a message, just to calculate that we would definitely cut off the confusion. Moreover, do you remember that after the crown princess arrived, she was also very surprised when she saw the eunuch's face. Thinking about it this way, or the crown princess knew about it a long time ago, but she didn't expect it, why did His Royal Highness King Dingwang become a little eunuch later, and Shangguan Wanyin became you? ”
Yang Surong's brain was not as good as her mother's, she waited for her eyes to think for a long time, and finally said: "Mother, do you mean that this matter is not only related to the crown princess Niangniang, but also other behind-the-scenes manipulators?" ”
"Well, that's how it should be. Hmph, anyway, their royal family is at odds with each other. That's right, the crown princess is definitely not willing to let Shangguan Wanyin marry His Royal Highness King Ding! Her Shangguan family holds military power, if Shangguan Wanyin marries King Ding, wouldn't it threaten the status of the crown prince? ”
Mrs. Zhao said, then slapped her forehead hard, and said, "It's really damn, this layer is such an important stake, why didn't I think of it before!" ”
After speaking, she turned to her daughter and said, "My son, you lie down and rest first." For the mother, I will go to see the princess Niangniang, maybe, we will turn the tables this time, it will all depend on the princess! ”
Yang Surong still didn't fully understand, she nodded dizzily, and said to her mother: "Okay, then it's hard for mother." ”
Mrs. Zhao hurriedly cleaned up, and when she came to the door of Ninghua Palace, she respectfully said to the mother-in-law who was passing the message: "Please pass it on your behalf, and say that the little woman has something important here, and she wants to meet the princess." ”
The woman took her money, and immediately said, "Wait! ”
In the Ninghua Palace, the crown princess Zhang was sitting on the couch, her eyes half-closed. When she heard that Mrs. Zhao came to see her, the corner of her mouth sneered slightly, and said, "Oh? She's smart enough to figure it out so quickly? Alright, let her in and talk! ”
When she came out of the Ninghua Palace, Mrs. Zhao was full of color. She greeted the mother-in-law and maids beside the Zhang family with a smile, and then slowly returned to her residence. After telling Yang Surong the progress of the matter, the happy Yang Surong jumped up from the bed, hugged his neck and said, "Really? You say, the crown princess will help us? This...... That's great! ”
"Well, the crown princess promised her mother personally, and I don't think there will be a fake. Okay, let's pack up now and go back first. ”
After Mrs. Zhao returned to the Yang Mansion after arranging this, she followed the instructions of the crown princess Zhang, pretended to bring some gifts, and came to the Shangguan Mansion to see Xiao Luo.
Xiao Luo was a little surprised when he saw her full of spring breeze. Just as she was about to ask, she saw Mrs. Zhao mysteriously asking her to pull back the people around her, and leaned over and asked, "The person who sent me the paper ball, is it you?" My sister, you've done me a great favor this time! ”
Xiao Luo's heart was shocked, and when he was about to deny it, he saw Mrs. Zhao and said, "You don't have to worry, between our sisters, where is there anything to each other?" I know you're doing this for my own good, otherwise, who would have delivered me such news? ”
Xiao Luo thought about it, but still pretended not to understand and said, "What are you talking about?" I can't understand anything? I don't know anything about handing you paper. ”
"Hey! You are still stubborn, forget it, I won't tell you this, I'll tell you, this time I went to the East Palace and got great news. The crown princess promised to help me recommend my family Rong'er to the queen mother and the emperor as the side concubine of His Royal Highness Dingwang. You say, isn't this kind of news a great joy? ”
Xiao Luo was indeed taken aback when she heard this, she understood that the crown princess was unwilling to let Shangguan Wanyin marry King Ding. But why did she help the Yang family pull this line for no reason? It is said that it is unprofitable and cannot afford to be early, especially for people like the crown princess Zhang, if there is no plan, she will serve for free?
But she was also an extremely intelligent person, and she quickly turned a corner. Crown Princess Zhang, this is to use the Yang Mansion to contain the Shangguan Mansion! Also, judging from today's situation, His Royal Highness King Ding seems to have a good impression of Yang Surong, if Yang Surong can get the favor of King Ding, then for Shangguan Wansu, there is naturally an extra layer of resistance. Although the Yang Mansion is not a powerful family, the more such a family is, the more reassuring the Queen Mother will be if she marries King Ding. Otherwise, how can you explain that the Queen Mother is particularly fond of Yang Surong in full view of everyone today?
