Chapter 359: Mother's Teachings (continued)
Su Ruhui lowered her eyes and did not answer, although she was smart, but in the end, she was pampered and raised in the middle of the war, she was held on the tip of her heart since she was a child, even if she had been low in the palace for all these years, she was proud in her bones.
"If the King of Chu knows about this matter, or even if he asked someone to lead Yu Qing to go, how will you stay?" When An looked at her like this, how could she not know that she was still uneasy in her heart? He asked anxiously and slowly.
"I ......" Su Ruhui was about to open her mouth and say that I naturally don't want him, but after thinking about it, the Queen Mother has been raised under her knees for seven years, and the marriage is still up to her? What's more, the crown prince has lost his position, and the third prince Gan Tang and her have always been at odds with her, and the fourth prince is sweet...... The age difference is different, not to mention Ganmei's embarrassing life experience, how could the Heavenly Family ask the daughter of the Su family to marry him?
"Mother said before that the matter with the Liu family ......" Su Ruhui pouted, and reluctantly mentioned it.
An couldn't help laughing: "What did you say at the time? Aren't you unwilling? ”
"Mother!" Su Ruhua blushed and stomped her feet and didn't follow the way.
An Shi sighed and put away his smile: "Your second brother is not unexpected, he is married to Miss Liu Jiajiu." ”
Su Ruhui was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this was telling her that it was impossible for her to marry into the Liu family, even if she was a slightly decent family, and she would not change her parents, not to mention such a first-class family as Su and Liu?
"I'm just asking." She thought about it, and asked curiously, "But what my mother said was so accurate, I don't understand, the Queen Mother has raised me for seven years, what can my mother do to tell me to marry into the Liu family?" ”
An Shi patted her hand lightly and said with a smile: "At this time and that time, at that time, the Su family was still stable, and the Liu family had just recovered, your father planned to pick the opportunity to retreat bravely, let the Liu family come out, and by the way, he asked for your marriage, and he also clearly left his hand behind, lest your eldest brother and second brother can't hold on, so that the Liu family can pull it." Anyway, the royal family also married the county lord to the Liu family, and he would not be too worried. But now...... It's better for your second brother to marry Miss Liu Jiajiu. ”
Su Ruhui bit her lip and said, "Is it because the throne of King Chu is expected?" ”
"Nature." An Shi made no secret of his words, "You have little friendship with the King of Chu, whether it is for the Su family or for you, or for the advice of Huo Guifei, the King of Chu has always been interested in you, and now that the prince's abandonment is a foregone conclusion, you have never seen the son of the Liu family, and you may not have a good ...... for the King of Chu."
"If the king of Chu succeeds to the throne, I marry him and he likes it, and the benefits to the family are naturally better than marrying into the Liu family." Su Ruhui said suddenly.
An Shi looked at her: "Do you feel wronged?" ”
"Nope." Su Ruhui shook her head, "My mother has taught me since I was a child that we enjoy the wealth and honor given by the family that ordinary people can hardly imagine, and naturally we must also take on the responsibility of maintaining and revitalizing the family, not to mention that the family has already considered me very much, King Chu...... Mother is right, compared to the son of the Liu family, who does not know his temperament, the choice of the king of Chu is much more reliable. ”
An Shi stared at her and said slowly: "You are my biological daughter, at this age, you can't hide it from me, you tell me the question just now...... If one day, clear evidence tells you that the king of Chu does not care about you as much as you think, what should you do? ”
"I'm sad." Su Ruhui's eyes suddenly turned red, "I'...... When the prince asked me to talk in the imperial garden, he promised me the position of concubine, but I refused, so the prince said, he doesn't have much affection for me, just simply value the Su family's family background, so that they know each other, at least I don't expect him to really pity me and love me, and I don't care about being sad, but if I follow the king of Chu and be abandoned one day, then it is really desperate and sad! ”
"I said you were smart, but you were stupid again." An Shi sneered and said, "The prince also said that he is not interested in you, he is interested in the Su family, so if the Su family loses power, or does not have to lose power, as long as the military power is withdrawn, you have no value in use, how should you deal with yourself?" If there is some kindness, you can still read a few points, even if you are not as favored as before, at least you will not be stepped into the mud immediately! ”
She looked at her daughter and sighed: "Why can't you figure it out on this?" The prince's words are clearly to provoke your suspicion of the King of Chu, but you have made him as you wish! Fortunately, the crown prince lost his position! Otherwise, this prince, give him my daughter, I really don't feel at ease! As far as the way of the king, he is really powerful, but for a woman, such a cold husband really can't stand it! ”
"Mother, I used to tell you that the king of Chu was good, but you didn't listen! just persuaded me to marry the prince obediently, and even coaxed me to think about the Liu family! Why is it that now that the crown prince is out of position, you are the king of Chu in and out of your words? Su Ruhui was not happy in her heart, and said unhappily.
An Shi stretched out his hand and flicked the corner of her forehead: "Then take a look for yourself, what is your best choice now?" ”
"......" Su Ruhui was speechless, now she has a great future, although she has been sick at home these days, but the palace also reveals some news from time to time, for example, the Queen Mother summons the King of Chu to accompany her every day, even the Xifu Palace, the King of Chu is also rare.
Among these messages, there is another ...... Xiao Huo's return to the palace, don't think about it, when the Queen Mother summoned the King of Chu, she must be next to her, and the Queen Mother will never snub her!
"And Xiao Huo's." Su Ruhui said unwillingly.
"Hey, it was just a few years ago, but now that the Queen Mother is old, although the death of the Queen Mother has put our family in a dilemma, can she still climb on your head as a person who has nothing to rely on except the Queen Mother?" An Shi smiled coldly, "What's more, the King of Chu is not the prince, this little Huo family was taken by the Queen Mother as a princess, I heard that in the past few years, I have made some clothes and purses for the prince, and sent some snacks and tea, but there are any?" ”
Su Ruhui nodded silently, and An's said: "Queen Zhou and Huo Guifei are not in harmony, just rush this point, Huo Guifei will not like her, the Queen Mother is old, Huo Guifei has always been favored, and she was not close to this niece, even if Xiao Huo has that fate...... Do you think Huo Guifei will help you or help her? ”
An reminded: "You must know that the King of Chu is not Huo Guifei's parent!" According to what you said, he has been secretly thinking about his biological mother Han all these years, originally when he was a vassal king, the concubine could still handle him, if he really became a prince, he would be out of the palm of Huo Guifei, how could he not follow the thoughts of the king of Chu? You and Xiao Huo, who is close to the King of Chu? ”
Su Ruhui said gloomily: "Mother turned around and said so many words, is she afraid that I will be dissatisfied with the King of Chu because of the purse matter, but it will be self-defeating?" ”
"If you know, it's good." An Shi thought for a moment, "This matter is not that simple, although it is Huo Guifei who is most likely to do this, but I always feel that it should not be." ”
Su Ruhua was puzzled: "Why? ”
"If I guessed correctly, when you were all young, the King of Chu was close to you, but I am afraid that I got a hint from Huo Guifei." An Shi said softly, "Our family has no concubine, and we have heard about the affairs of the Sixth Palace, but I can't get along with Huo Guifei and Queen Zhou, after all, Your Majesty loves Concubine so much, if it wasn't for the Queen Mother back then, now the Middle Palace is not surnamed Zhou." Huo Guifei is certainly aggrieved, is Queen Zhou better? However, the prince is both a grandson and a long, but Huo Guifei didn't even keep her own daughter, her lost daughter is not far from the birth of the prince, if she survives, she is still before the prince, I can't help but make people think about it, if it is true, the feud between these two is not small! If Huo Guifei doesn't want to be pinched by Queen Zhou in the future, even if she doesn't calculate the big position for him, she has to plan the future of the mother and son, the Huo family has a clear name, Huo Changqing has not been out of office since the county lord of Kangyue, how can he keep them? In this way, he can only make up his mind on the wife of the king of Chu. ”
Su Ruhui was stunned for a moment before saying, "But at that time, my father and brothers didn't have the power they have now." ”
"Silly boy, you don't want to think about it, what is the identity of the five girls who were selected into the palace back then? Xiao Huo's was directly picked up by the Queen Mother, Xiao Zhou's is the queen's niece, and Huo Guifei can only consider you, Song's and Zhang's! The latter two were left in Weiyang Palace by the queen, where did Huo Guifei dare to ask for it? There's just you. An said pityingly.
"Speaking of which, I remember that Zhang Yi proposed to stay in Weiyang Palace by herself at that time, Zhou Yi'er was the queen's niece, what did the queen do to send her and me to Renshou Palace?" Su Ruhui asked suspiciously, "Do you just want Zhou Yi'er to have a good background?" ”
An smiled slightly: "The Queen Mother loves Xiao Huo's family, although I don't know what the reason is, but those of us who don't have a concubine don't know much, can the Zhang family still know?" It's better to raise her daughter by the queen's side, first, no one knew that the prince would lose his position at that time, and the moon would be the first to get near the water, and second, the Zhang family is the queen mother's clan, and the queen will not snub her, and third, so as not to have the identity of the queen mother's clan, but it is not as good as Xiao Huo's favor to look unhappy in the day, and it is also difficult to make the queen mother difficult! The Zhang family still has this ability. ”
"As for Xiao Zhou's family...... I see, she went to Inshou Palace, but a little to keep an eye on you. An said with a smile.
"Why did you send me to the Queen Mother's Palace?" Su Ru said strangely, although Gan Ran told her that in the side hall of the Changle Palace, there is a dark room where you can observe the every move of the people in the side hall, that day Song Caisu looked like she was looking for nothing, I am afraid that Queen Zhou was not at ease so she left her by her side, but she felt wrong when she thought about it, Song Caisu was restless, and Queen Zhou didn't have to keep her by her side, send her to the Queen Mother, and let the Queen Mother watch, wouldn't it be better? You must know that after the incident of falling into the lake in the twenty-sixth year of Changtai, the Song family was kicked out of the palace, and Queen Zhou was also very shameless.
"Do you think this is what Queen Zhou meant?" An Shi glanced at her, "If Queen Zhou can call the shots, I see that she would like to leave you behind!" It's just that the Queen Mother takes a fancy to you and thinks you want to go over more! ”
