Tu Shaojue was puzzled, "Mother, why?" Sister Xinya is such a good woman. ”

"No matter how good she is, she is also the fiancée of your eldest brother."

"But my brother is still the future emperor. In the future, the entire Qiyun Star will be his. ”

Yu Man sighed, "It is precisely because he is the future emperor that he can't love what he loves and think what he thinks." can only obey the arrangement of fate and be an emperor without the slightest weakness in the future. ”

Tu Shaojue said in disbelief, "Mother, wouldn't it be too cruel to my brother like this?" ”

Yu Man sneered, "Hehe... Cruel? This is a thousand-year-old ancestral precept, and as a descendant of the royal family, no one can disobey it. ”

Tu Shaojue said, "Mother, my daughter heard Sister Xinya say that my brother has endured hardships since he was a child, and he even has to support himself since he was a child. Although I have adoptive parents, I have never felt a trace of warmth in my family. ”

Yu Man waved his hand and said, "Jue'er, don't say it!" If you don't do what I say, your brother's years of suffering will be in vain. ”

"Why?"

"Although a Ronghe county lord is just the adopted daughter of your Uncle Yunwang, it is nothing. But the county lord of Ronghe is from the Xiang family, and he has already set a name with your eldest brother. If your brother insists on marrying him, he will only slap the royal family and the crown prince in the face and refute the face of the Xiang family. Yu Man said helplessly.

Tu Shaojue muttered, "Brother is too miserable. ”

Yu Man hugged Tu Shaojue and said, "Jue'er, nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory. It's like your father, the emperor, who is the emperor, and there are things that you can't ask for. But we can't stop living just because life is too miserable, right? The more tribulations there are, the more we have to be strong, hardworking, and brave to live, and to live better. ”

Tu Shaojue replied obediently, "Mother, Jue'er knows." ”

"My stupid boy, don't get involved in the affairs of the county lord and your brother in the future. If there is a slight mistake, you, the middleman, will end up with several complaints. They are all adults, and the mother believes that they can make their own choices. ”

Tu Shaojue said, "Mother, what if my brother would rather be beautiful than a country?" ”

Yu Man frowned and said, "If it really comes to that point, I'd rather wake him up than him do that kind of stupid thing." ”

"Why?"

Yu Man said, "Jue'er, you don't understand the world of men. If your brother loves beauty and doesn't love the country, no matter which of your royal brothers ascends the throne as emperor in the future, he will be deliberately killed. ”

"Ahh Tu Shaojue covered his mouth in horror.

"From the moment your brother was born, he was chosen by the high priest to be the next monarch of the vulture kingdom. Do you think, if he is not the emperor in the future, then he, the rightful heir, lives in the world, and the person who becomes the emperor will feel at ease? On the side of the couch, you will not allow others to snore. Your brother... There was no way back for him. ”

Tu Shaojue said, "Mother, I have an idea. ”

"Say it."

"My daughter wants to marry into the Xiang family, stabilize the alliance relationship for her brother, and break the Zhang family's thoughts."

Yu Man looked at this daughter who had been neglected for many years, but saw Tu Shaojue's face resolute, "The mother concubine has already said that you don't have to get involved in your brother's affairs." You are looking for a wishful husband, whether he is a pawn of a trafficker or the son of a wealthy family, the mother will support you, as long as you can be happy in this life. ”

Tu Shaojue knelt down and prayed, "Please also ask the mother concubine to fulfill it!" The daughter has made up her mind. You're right, if a royal son can't have love, why should a royal daughter ask for it? I am a king, they are ministers, no matter which family I marry, they can only hold me. Mother, I firmly believe that I can live well in this life. ”

Yu Man's eyes were red, and he knelt down and hugged Tu Shaojue tightly, "Okay, since you have decided so, I will fulfill your brother and sister affection." I just hope that in the future you will not regret it. ”

"Mother, I will never regret it!"

Yu Man instructed, "From tomorrow onwards, you will learn something from Mama Liang and Mama Xu of Yongshou Palace." You have to study hard, this is the foundation of whether you can live a comfortable life in the future. As for the candidate, the concubine had to discuss with the queen and come up with a charter. You'd better take a look, and you'll have to like it in the end. ”

Tu Shaojue hurriedly helped Yu Man up, "My daughter knows, mother concubine." ”

"The Queen Mother has arrived!" The characteristic shrill voice of the great eunuch Fule sounded, and the mother and daughter hurriedly tidied up their appearances and went to the front of the hall to greet them.

Xiang Wanrou hurriedly walked down the phoenix, helped Tu Shaojue's mother and daughter up, and said in surprise, "Sister, what's wrong with you two mothers?" But what grievances have you suffered? ”

Yu Man said ashamedly, "The concubine lost her manners, and asked the mother to forgive her sins!" ”

Seeing Yu Man gritting his teeth and talking about him left and right, Xiang Wanrou turned her gaze to Tu Shaojue, "Zhaoyang, tell me, what's wrong with you and your mother today?" ”

Tu Shaojue looked at the large group of palace maids and eunuchs behind Xiang Wanrou, and stopped talking. In the end, under Xiang Wanrou's stern gaze, Nuo Nuo said, "Queen Mother, I can't say. ”

Queen Xiang Wanrou was helpless, so she had to wave her hand and say to Fule, "Fule, lead everyone to guard outside." ”

Fuler knew something had to happen. Don't dare to slack off, hurry up to receive the order.

Xiang Wanrou then pulled Tu Shaojue's mother and daughter into the Yongshou Palace. When she came to the apse, she said gently, "Sister, it's time to tell the truth to my sister now, right?" ”

Yu Man took out a handkerchief, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said sadly, "Sister, it's not that Zhang family yet." Zhang Kejia, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, asked for his thirty-year-old eldest son Zhang Jierui to marry Jue'er five times. Isn't this too much of a deception, digging out my sister's heart! ”

Xiang Wanrou looked at Tu Shaojue and asked, "Zhaoyang, do you want to marry into the Zhang family?" ”

Tu Shaojue said, "Queen Mother, that Jerry is thirty years old, ten years older than his daughter. Not to mention his family's character, at this age, he can't convince his daughter. It's not that my daughter can't get married, and I'm impatient to find someone so much older. ”

Xiang Wanrou quipped, "But this palace heard that the combination of old husband and young wife can enjoy the favor of her husband." Maybe that Jerry can cherish you more than those hairy boys of the same age? ”

Tu Shaojue's cheeks were flushed and he lowered his head. Yu Man didn't follow, "Sister! ”

Xiang Wanrou comforted, "Okay, just kidding!" Look at you two mothers, you can't hold your breath. Don't worry, it's the third princess and the fifth princess, but they are from the palace maids, and your father and emperor can promise them a wishful husband. Our Jue'er is a noble concubine, and she is the most noble princess in this vulture country. His Zhang family is a toad who wants to eat swan meat, whimsical. ”

Yu Man was relieved to see that the queen was so determined, "Sister, what you said is true?" ”

"Of course, can I still lie to my sister? Besides, we are cousins, and in this great palace, our sisters are the closest people, your daughter is my daughter, and your son is also my son. Xiang Wanrou said sincerely.

"That being the case, thank you, sister! It's just that I'm really worried about Jue'er's marriage. She is now twenty, and she is always hanging like this, which really makes my sister and me sleep. ”

Xiang Wanrou still didn't understand what Yu Man meant, and said, "What's so difficult about this? After a while, I asked the prince to hold a banquet. Invite some young talents to the East Palace, and Jue'er will look at each other slowly. ”

The mother and daughter hurriedly knelt down to express their gratitude to the queen, Xiang Wanrou hurriedly helped them up, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled, all happy.
