244. Giving a dowry

Of course, the emperor will not dismiss the queen's intentions, "The queen, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it!" ”

The queen said a few candidates, and the emperor nodded and agreed one by one, and at the end he didn't forget to praise, "Since it is the person that the queen likes, it must be good, I believe in the queen's vision!" ”

The queen smiled reservedly, slightly chinned, and hid the smile at the corner of her mouth, which was just a mention of the queen mother's favorite candidates for the princess, the queen mother's favorite person is naturally not bad, but she doesn't care about these, she just wants to remove obstacles for the child in her belly, touching her stomach, the look on the queen's face is more and more gentle.

The next day, the emperor decreed that the eldest daughter of King Fengde would be the princess of Chang'an, and marry Yu Jiulu Qiulun, who was the new successor of Rouran, and at the same time also ordered the people to suspend marriage, and the Ministry of Rites selected ten innocent women from the family to marry the princess of Chang'an.

For a while, all the families were panicked, everyone knew that this marriage was just a pretext, in fact, it was to marry the concubine of the new khan of Rouran, and the daughter of the family who had been carefully cultivated since childhood had greater political value, but it was not for the funeral of the relatives.

The Deng Qi family was planning to discuss their relationship, but they were caught off guard by the emperor's decree at first glance, but they were relieved after calming down, the Qi family did not have a daughter of appropriate age, so they were not worried, and the Deng family was not worried that Deng Yarong would be selected because of the relationship between the queen mother, and after settling down and waiting for the end of the ban period, Mrs. Deng suddenly had a plan.

When the Deng family took the initiative to propose marriage, although the Qi family was moved, it was inevitable that they would mumble, the Deng family was the queen mother's mother's family, and the queen mother reprimanded the Qi family, why did the Deng family turn their heads but took the initiative to show favor to get married? Isn't it a trap? As soon as the Qi family agrees to marry, they can immediately cure the Qi family for a crime of resisting the decree!

Since the Qi family was suspicious, they hesitated to marry the Deng family, but they were really reluctant to let the Deng family be a big tree, so they were a little ambiguous about the matter of marriage, and in the eyes of the Deng family, the Qi family intended to take Qiao, especially the Qi family also used the marriage with the Xu family as an excuse, and even the Li family once intended to let Xu Ting replace Xu Shu to tell the Deng family.

Mrs. Deng was dissatisfied with this, how could the Xu family and the Deng family be comparable? Xu Ting is even less than her daughter Deng Yarong with a finger in her eyes, and the Qi family would not accept her initiative to marry because of their scruples about the Xu family? This is a great shame for Mrs. Deng!

And there is a great opportunity to wash away the humiliation and remove the excuse of the Qi family!

Ministry of Rites Selection ...... That's not what her master said......

Mrs. Deng made up her mind and asked people to call Master Deng, "Go and invite the master over, just say that I have something important to discuss with the master!" ”

With the status of the Xu family, he was not worried that these ten candidates for marriage would fall on his head, so no one in the Xu family took this will to heart, and the Li family actually hoped that Deng Yarong would be selected, so that Xu Ting could still hope to marry into the Qi family.

Xu Ting, who didn't know that she had been calculated by Mrs. Deng, was still struggling to explore how to marry Qi Rui, and she did not hesitate to pull down her face to please Xu Yan, hoping that Xu Yan could give her guidance, but Xu Yan had no other way than to suggest that she should remove Xu Shu.

However, in addition to Xu Shu, Xu Ting had already tried and failed, and Xu Shu's cruel words were still ringing in her ears all the time, but the desperate Xu Ting chose to ignore it.

The Li family, who had expectations, ushered in a thunderbolt a few days later, and the holy decree of the Ministry of Rites to select the daughter of the Xu family as a candidate for marriage was sent to the Xu family.

In the Li family's mourning expression, Mrs. Xu calmly accepted the holy decree and solemnly announced, "The emperor chose the daughter of our family, which is to take a fancy to our Xu family, this is a great honor!" ”

The Xu family has many daughters, and giving up a daughter in exchange for such a glory is an undesirable opportunity for the Xu family, but it is a rare opportunity in the eyes of the last family to avoid things that are afraid of being avoided by the upper family.

"Lee!"

The Li family, who was in a trance, was suddenly named, and looked at Mrs. Xu in a daze, "This is the blessing of the Xu family, and it is also the blessing of Sister Ting, you go back and tell Sister Ting about it, and be sure to ask her to be happy when she enters the palace three days later to thank her!" ”

"Why...... Why Sister Ting? After the shock, the Li family gradually regained his senses, "The holy decree clearly says that it is the daughter of the Xu family, and the daughter of the Xu family is not only Sister Ting!" ”

Old lady Xu frowned, her face dissatisfied, "Who else is there besides Sister Ting in the Xu family who is of the right age to be married now?" ”

Li Shi looked at the third master, Xu Yang, "And Sister Yuan!" ”

Xu Yang was surprised, "Sister-in-law, Sister Yuan is only fourteen years old, the same size as Sister Shu, if Sister Yuan is also counted, then Sister Shu must also be counted?" ”

Li pursed his lips and didn't speak, Xu Yang turned to Wang again, "Mother, the lady has just left, Sister Yuan is in a sad time, how can I tell her to stay away from the family again, my son is reluctant!" ”

The Wang family has always loved his young son, and when he saw Xu Yang crying as he spoke, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I know!" It won't be Sister Yuan'er, don't worry! ”

With Wang's assurance, Xu Yang put down his heart and looked at the Li family for a long time, and the old lady Xu also looked at the Li family, cleared his throat and said, "Since you said that the holy decree is about the Xu family's daughters, then I will calculate with you how many unmarried and school-age daughters the Xu family has now, Sister Ting, Sister Yuan, Sister Shu, Sister Qiao, a total of four!" The reason why I chose Sister Ting is not to favor the third child, but that Sister Ting is the eldest, and it is natural that she is the one! ”

"Yes...... But ......," Li blurted out in a hurry, "what about the relationship with the Qi family?" ”

Xu Hui didn't look at the Li family, closed his eyes and said, "That's Sister Shu'er's family business, what does it have to do with Sister Ting!" ”

Li looked at Xu Hui in disbelief, "Master, Sister Ting is also your daughter, you can't watch her...... If she becomes the dowry of Princess Chang'an, her life will be ruined! ”

Xu Hui sighed, "Madam, who can blame this matter in the final analysis?" I said it a long time ago, don't force the family affairs with the Qi family, if you had listened to my advice earlier, and set a family affair for Sister Ting, how could you come to today's business? It's not that you have always stared at the Qi family to get to such a point! ”

Li couldn't help but take a few steps back, looking at everyone present in despair, from Old Lady Xu, to Wang, to Xu Hui, to Second Master Xu, to Second Lady Xu, to Third Master Xu, and suddenly shouted hoarsely, "You guys...... You're trying to kill me! If Sister Ting really went to that Laoshizi Rouran, I wouldn't be alive! ”
