769, good news
"It's fine!" Mrs. Zheng Si nodded, "Although Miss Seven is scheming, after all, she is the eldest daughter of the third room, and your third aunt has also cultivated her heart over the years, and there is naturally a trace of fault in the big picture, which is not easy to pick out!" Even the grandmother sent by the Queen Mother also praised Miss Seven, and the emperor also bluntly said that although Miss Seven is older than King Qing, she is also more secure and can better take care of the housekeeping of King Qing's mansion for King Qing! ”
"In this way, it seems that everyone is happy about this finger marriage!"
The emperor takes a fancy to the Zheng family, and what he wants is the identity of the Zheng family's concubine, as long as Zheng Wanli can barely make people look at it, even if it is in the queen's face, the emperor will not object. As for the Empress Dowager, she knew that the emperor had another plan to point out the daughter of the Zheng family to King Qing as a side concubine at this time, but in this matter, it was reasonable, and the Empress Dowager couldn't say a defensible reason to oppose it.
"It's not just a big joy, it's a double happiness!" Mrs. Zheng Si chuckled, and when she saw Xu Shu looking at her curiously, she said in a low voice, "I saw the Xiao family's carriage at the gate of the palace today!" ”
"The Xiao family? Is it the Xiao family who was pulled up by the Deng family? Xu Shu didn't know much about the Xiao family, only Xiao Jiayi, the third lady Xiao Jiayi, who met on the way to get married that year.
"It's that Xiao family! At the beginning, the third lady of the Xiao family did the marriage of the princess of Chang'an with you, and now the fifth miss of the Xiao family has just grown up! ”
The meaning of Mrs. Zheng Si's words couldn't be more obvious, combined with the "double happiness" that Mrs. Zheng Si said just now, it seems that the Empress Dowager wants to give King Qing another side concubine.
"It seems that Miss Seven can't be beautiful anymore!" If the Empress Dowager gives King Qing another side concubine, Zheng Wanli has an opponent, she will compete with another side concubine wholeheartedly, and she will no longer be idle and have nothing to do.
"That's not something we should be worried about!" Mrs. Zheng Si smiled, exhaled lightly, and said quietly, "I actually felt happy in my heart when I saw the carriage of the Xiao family today, but from the position of the Zheng family, I shouldn't be happy!" The queen has no children, and the status of the Zheng family is delicate, so the daughter of the Zheng family has become the side concubine of King Qing, and the situation is suddenly clear, whether it is active or forced, the Zheng family finally has a way to go, which is a good thing, but this good thing makes me not happy! ”
At the beginning, Zheng Wanli instigated Zheng Wanfeng in every possible way, causing Zheng Wanfeng to push down Mrs. Zheng Si and let Mrs. Zheng Si have a miscarriage, Mrs. Zheng Si has always been obsessed with this matter, and she can't let go of Zheng Wanfeng who directly caused her miscarriage, not to mention the black hand behind the scenes. But now the mastermind behind the scenes has become King Qing's side concubine, and has become the key person who may support the status of the Zheng family in the future, she feels somewhat unwilling in her heart, not as the daughter-in-law of the Zheng family, but as a mother.
"On the contrary, it is a bad thing for the Zheng family, but it makes me happy!" Mrs. Zheng Si smiled bitterly, she couldn't say these words to anyone, only Xu Shu, who could make her spit out her thoughts, and her relationship with Xu Shu allowed her to share all the secrets in her heart with Xu Shu with confidence.
"Actually, it's not necessarily a good thing for Miss Seven to be King Qing's side concubine! Just like when Miss Huang Si was given the title of Princess Qing, how many people were envious! Now you can only watch the side concubine enter the door? The winner is the one who has the last laugh! ”
Xu Shu diverted the topic in Mrs. Zheng's surprised gaze, "Today I went to the Ji Palace, and I learned a good news!" ”
"What's the good news?" Mrs. Zheng Si said curiously.
"Princess Ji is pregnant!"
"Really?" Although Mrs. Zheng Si is not familiar with Princess Ji, it is a well-known thing that King Ji has been married for many years, and it is also a fact that Princess Ji has not been born for many years.
Xu Shu nodded, "Seriously!" It was Princess Ji who told me personally, it has been two months now, and after three months, the good news will be announced when the fetus is secured! ”
"It seems that Princess Ji likes you very much, such an important matter, I don't tell anyone else, I just told you!"
Mrs. Zheng Si didn't know that the reason why Princess Ji was pregnant was because Xu Shu broke King Ji's face in anger, and King Ji pulled down his face to seek medical advice, so Princess Ji asked Xu Shu to go to King Ji's Mansion to thank Xu Shu for saying what she couldn't say.
"Princess Ji is a temperamental person, and she had some friendships earlier, so the relationship is closer than others!"
Thinking of the old lady's entrustment, Mrs. Zheng Si breathed a sigh of relief, "Princess Ji is pregnant, the day the fifth young master gets married, naturally she won't be able to come, and the old lady won't blame you!" ”
"Princess Ji naturally won't come that day, but I didn't tell the old lady that Princess Ji was pregnant, because King Ji will come that day!"
"That's a brilliant idea!" Mrs. Zheng Si couldn't help laughing, the old lady had a plan against Princess Ji, but she didn't dare to treat King Ji, "This is more effective than telling the old lady that Princess Ji is pregnant, and now the news of Princess Ji's pregnancy has not been announced to the public, you may not believe it when you say it, and it is only your excuse!" ”
"I thought so too, so I simply didn't mention it, and the old lady didn't ask! It's just that seeing the old lady planning for Miss Seven so painstakingly and lonely, and completely forgetting the queen's mother, I feel a little uncomfortable! "The old lady is the queen's biological mother, but the old lady doesn't care about the queen's situation in the palace, she only thinks about how Zheng Wanli is, how the Zheng family is, and doesn't mention the queen, as if the queen without the prince has no value to the Zheng family.
"You still remember the queen mother, it can be seen that the mother didn't hurt you in vain, today I entered the palace, the queen mother also asked about you, asked why you didn't come, I said you went to the Ji Palace, the mother didn't ask again!" Mrs. Zheng Si has speculated countless times about the relationship between Xu Shu and the queen, and has speculated countless versions and countless possibilities, but in the end she still chose to believe Xu Shu.
Xu Shu lowered her head and smiled, she didn't remember the queen, but at that moment, she had some sympathy with the queen, why is the love in this world always so weak and can't withstand a little test?
"Miss, Miss!" Yuzhu suddenly hurried over.
"What's the matter?" Mrs. Zheng Si and Xu Shu asked almost in unison, and the mother and daughter couldn't help but smile at each other.
