Volume III-6 First Marriage (III) (Part II)

First Married Lady (III) (Medium)

If it's just for a female official, and you won't marry for the rest of your life by his side? If he doesn't take her as his own woman, just looking at her every day, he doesn't know how long he can endure it. In the past, he didn't know his own mind, but now he knows where his heart wants, and he doesn't want to challenge his willpower.

He sometimes thinks that if she has never been out of the palace and has never met Xinjie, he will take it for granted, and she probably will not object. She can be like many female officials, in the palace for the rest of her life. But that bleak evening scene was not what he wanted to see. But now that she had a man, and seeing the way they were together, he knew he couldn't open his mouth anyway. But he couldn't stay in Kyori and wait for their wedding, watching the beautiful woman hug him goodbye.

So on the night he returned to the Prince's Mansion from the Aoki Tea House, he began to make arrangements to advance the planned trip, which was supposed to avoid his own travel plan to avoid strife before the chaos broke out, giving him the best excuse to leave Beijing before Xinjie's wedding.

The queen mother is in full swing arranging a blind date banquet for the prince. She had already made up her mind for Shen Yaru, that is, she went through the motions here with the Queen Mother and Yiyi, thinking that she could go to Wending after the banquet and booked her family, but she was shocked to hear that this person was going to leave Beijing. The queen looked at the crown prince who had come to ask her to ask Anga to resign, and was speechless for a long time. If it weren't for the fear that people would say that they were not filial, it is estimated that the prince would not know about her mother when she left Beijing. However, after all, her son has become an adult and has become a prince, so she also had to suppress the anger in her heart, and said with a pleasant face: "Heng Guogong has just entered Beijing with his family, and the palace is busy arranging a palace banquet for you to meet with Shen Yaru." If it is agreeable to each other, let it be settled quickly. The emperor has been sober less and less recently, and if this matter is negotiated with the Hengguo Mansion, there will be fewer twists and turns in this matter. ”

Yiyi didn't think so, whether there was Heng Guogong or not, his brothers would not be at peace. I'm afraid I'm going to come out and jump in the past few months. I don't know how my mother and uncle could be so naΓ―ve, thinking that a Hengguo Gong entrenched in the east of the river would be able to suppress them. But after all, his mother was thinking about him, and he didn't want to say more, but just said respectfully: "It's good for you to look at this family affair." After all, she will get along with her mother the most in the future. ”

In his mind, the queen is the one who manages the chores of the six palaces, which is a position.

The queen wrinkled her eyebrows: "But after all, it's your queen, you will be husband and wife in the future, if so..."

"Is the queen mother and the father husband and wife?" Yiyi knew that this was a bit heavy, but he had already given in and let the queen manipulate the selection of the crown princess, so it was difficult that he couldn't tell the truth: "She just needs to know the rules." The rest of the queen mothers will look at it. ”

The queen glared at Yiyi, speechless for a while. Indeed, since entering the palace to get married, she has never known that the man is the crown prince, and later the emperor, even if he is terminally ill today, she only thinks about the emperor, not her husband. Could it be that his son and daughter-in-law will do the same?

Yiyi approached the queen: "Queen Mother, the child knows that you work hard for the child. Now that the child has grown up, he knows what to do and what is important. The queen mother has time to cultivate more, and there is no need to worry so much about the child. Crown princess, choose a queen mother likes, let her have time to talk with the queen mother, just have fun. The child is too busy to be with you. As for other things, the child hopes that the queen mother will not worry too much. The affairs of the Lan family, the queen mother should not take care of too much. ”

"Do you have a grudge against the queen mother?"

"No, I just don't want you to bother too much. A lot of things, looking back, aren't really worth it. Yiyi still said calmly.

"What does the emperor want to say?"

"Why does the Queen Mother knowingly ask?! With so many things happening recently, doesn't the queen mother feel tired? There are some things that the queen mother will not do if she doesn't interfere, and sometimes she needs to end up if she does, which may be thankless. ”

"But that's your uncle's house."

"So what?!"

"Emperor, there are some things that I have been saying in my heart for a long time, and I have never had a chance to say them. Since you mentioned it today, there are no outsiders here, so my mother will be honest with you. Now it's the mother who is talking to you who is planning for you wholeheartedly, not someone else. In this house, only for the mother and the child you are the only one for each other. For your imperial grandmother, which grandson is her bloodline, and who in the Chen family and the Tang family are not all following the orders of the queen mother? You see that you have been so good to Tang Xinjie over the years, treating him as a brother, but he refused to rise up and showed no mercy. Didn't he make it clear that he only obeyed the Queen Mother, and didn't take you and the Lan family to heart? ”

Yiyi raised his eyebrows: "The child thinks Xinjie's choice is right." Let's reuse him by his ability, if he really accepted this marriage, the prince will be disappointed. He used the self-title of the crown prince to make the queen feel that this was a business: "Xinjie's position as the general of Yutai is too young compared to the generals who have held this position in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Tang family's too dazzling aura itself will make some courtiers who are jealous and do not know him criticize him for relying on nepotism to sit in that position, if he really becomes a close relative of the prince, he will be scolded for being a soft rice for his wife's mother's family. If this prince encounters this kind of thing, even if he loses the face of the Lan family, he will not let himself be criticized like this. ”

"He sat in that position because of the face of the Queen Mother, and he was afraid of criticism, I really don't know what to do."

"Has the queen mother forgotten the conditions for Xinjie to accept the position of general Yutai in the first place? At that time, the queen mother, the emperor and his sons all promised him that after the matter was settled, he would leave at any time as long as he was willing. ”

"He's just pretending to be a gesture to exalt himself in front of the emperor and my son. The people of the Tang family are spoiled, arrogant, and don't know how thick the sky is. ”

"How do you see the people of the Tang family and Xinjie like this?"

"Isn't it? Let's talk about the Guo family's affairs, he Tang Xinjie obviously knows about the matter, why don't he tell you in advance and suppress this matter, and make a fuss in the capital? And that Tang Xintian is not good, he knows that he is from the Guo family, and he is heavy-handed. That's not the person who cleaned up the Guo family, it's a slap in the face of my Lan family. ”

"The queen mother's words surprised Erchen," Yiyi took a deep breath: "Erchen didn't expect that his mother would be so indifferent to your daughter who was humiliated in order to protect her mother's family, and she was a royal princess. ”

"That's not what I mean. I think that this matter, he Tang Xinjie holds the power of Pingluan Pavilion, how many letters and newspapers are in hand, he must have known the truth a long time ago, but he didn't report it to you earlier, suppressed public opinion in the capital, but let it go and let the situation develop. is obviously despising the Lan family and the crown prince. What an important position that is in Pingluan Pavilion, how can the prince be released to this kind of subordinate who is not loyal to you?! ”

"That's what the queen mother thinks?" Yiyi frowned, seeing that the queen did not speak, acquiesced, and asked again: "Does the queen mother think that there is a better candidate for this Yutai general?" ”

The queen said disapprerovingly, "Of course. Pingluan Pavilion is involved in the safety of the royal family, and the emperor should change this position to someone close to the emperor in the future. Your second uncle, for example, not only ensures that he is uniquely loyal to you, but also has so many years of experience and insight to help you control the overall situation. Otherwise, if you and Yaru go hand in hand, the young masters of the Shen family are all military merits, which is enough to take the lead. ”

Yiyi looked at the queen seriously: "It seems that the queen mother knows the Shen family very well and is very familiar with the Shen family?" ”

"Before the Mrs. Shen family got married, she was a handkerchief for her mother, so she is naturally very familiar with it."

"Then the queen mother is very optimistic about the children of the Shen family?"

"Of course, it's no worse than the Tang family. You can do it all. ”

Yi Yi pursed his lips: "Erchen wants to know, in addition to Erchen's position as the crown princess, what other transactions did the queen mother give to the Shen family?" However, no matter what the queen mother made with them, the son always advised the mother, you are the mother of the child, and the child respects you, so the child's marriage is decided by the mother, and the child has no complaints. But if you are only the queen, this prince advises you to focus on the overall situation and the Great Zhou. ”

The queen raised her eyebrows: "You..."

"The queen mother doesn't need to be angry, what the son said is from the bottom of his heart. The queen mother can think about it. In addition, regarding the Tang family and Xinjie, Erchen also hopes that the queen mother will let go, because Xinjie said that he assisted Erchen not because Erchen is the prince, but because Erchen promised to put the people of Dazhou first. He also felt that his son might be the best for the people in that position. In his eyes, whether it is the Tang family, the Chen family or the Lan family, there is no peace and happiness for the people of the Great Zhou, and it is more important that there is no chaos. ”

"This kind of big talk, who wouldn't say it with a little thought?!"

"Erchen is afraid that they only have their own fame and fortune in their hearts, and they haven't even thought about it, how can they say it?!"

Although the suspicion and resistance of the queen of the palace and the Lan family towards him have been overflowing, the Aoki Society has reported various plans and letters against the Lan family and related henchmen, Xinjie has not been affected by this, and continues to concentrate on preparing for the marriage.

Xinjie and Xintian Xinye carefully analyzed the various reasons why grandma was reluctant to hold a wedding for him and Lian'er before going out, and one of the biggest possibilities was that Wanning was the queen mother's female official after all, and it was better to report to the queen mother for such a major event. also wants to give the Queen Mother a chance to make decisions about the marriage of the female officials around her, Chen Biyan is not convenient for the more and more generations; Another reason is that it may be necessary for Ning'er to return to assist the queen mother and the prince at the time of great changes, and it is not convenient for the married Wanning to enter and leave the prince's mansion or live in the palace after all; Of course, there is also a possibility to show weakness to the enemy, an orphan girl, with nothing to rely on, and others will not guard against it, but if it is a female official Zhou, I am afraid that someone will include her in the calculation as early as possible. The princes that Miss Wanning was very familiar with back then, if she returned to the prince's team in a high-profile manner, it would inevitably make people take more precautions in advance. But now that the crown prince and the empress dowager have publicly summoned her, and the opponents have long known about her arrival, there is no need to hide it anymore. On the contrary, a high-profile return may create an impression of negligence on the other side.
