298, Yongjia betrothal (above)
"It is this kind of temperament that is suitable for Changle, and His Majesty knows that Changle's temperament is also clear, she has an indifferent temperament, and she probably doesn't like that kind of person who has too much desire for power." Empress Eldest Sun said.
What she didn't say was that most of the people who had too much desire for power would not be at peace in the backhouse, and her brother's eldest grandson Wuji was motivated, but there were really a lot of people in the backyard.
As for herself, she regards the virtuous wife and the virtuous queen more as a profession, putting professional ethics first in everything, and abandoning her own joys, sorrows, and sorrows.
Therefore, she can treat all the women and children in her husband's backyard without discriminating without jealousy, and she can also calmly serve her husband Na'vi after perceiving her husband's heart.
But her daughter is different from her, Changle is a princess, a child who she and Li Shimin grew up in the palm of their hands, she doesn't need to face such a heavy and cautious life.
She only needs to find a husband who is simple-minded, wholeheartedly devoted to her, and has a good family background, and Changsun Chong, whether it is his background or his appearance, can meet this requirement, and the most important thing is that this child knows the roots, and the eldest grandson queen can be trusted.
"It's okay if you like it, it's just that Changle is still young, and it's inconvenient to marry for the time being, so I'll talk about it when they're older." Li Shimin smiled, probably because he loved the house and Wu, he also liked the eldest grandson Chong very much, and he would not object to his wife's suggestion.
"Changle's matter is not in a hurry, what I want to talk to Your Majesty today is not about this matter, what I want to talk about is Yongjia's matter, a few days ago, when I went to ask my father to say goodbye, he talked about Yongjia's family affairs, and hoped that I would help support her eyes and help her choose a suitable family business." The eldest grandson queen said.
"Yongjia? Well, she is indeed not young, she will be thirteen years old in the New Year, and she will be fourteen years old, you are married to me at such an age as she is, and it is indeed the age when you should choose a parent. ”
"You help to see first, see where there is a suitable person, and pick it out for her to choose." Li Shimin does not have a deep impression of this young girl who is only three years older than Changle, and only vaguely remembers that her temperament is a little arrogant, but she is also very clever and very good at pleasing her father.
"Hmm." The eldest grandson nodded.
That night, Li Shimin did not go to Yaxi Palace, but stayed in the queen's Lizheng Palace, and those in the harem who secretly wanted to see the queen's jokes after Zheng Jieyu entered the palace and the emperor stayed in Yaxi Palace every night were so angry that their faces changed.
In this regard, the eldest grandson naturally does not take it to heart, she never interferes with the emperor to go to others, but the emperor stays with her, she will not push it away, of course, she has no time to take care of the thoughts of the concubines.
As a queen, she only needs to do her duty to ensure the order and stability of the harem, so that everyone can perform their duties and not deviate from the track.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Empress Changsun took Qinglan and Ah Chou to Da'an Palace, and when they arrived at Da'an Palace, they first went to ask Emperor Li Yuan to say goodbye, and then went to Concubine Wan's bedroom.
"I've seen the concubine." Empress Eldest Sun came to her and saluted her first.
"Hurry up, now that you are the queen, you don't need to salute the palace according to the system, don't pay attention to these things in the future, sit down." Concubine Wan pulled her up, she was not a few years younger than the Emperor Taishang, she was already nearly sixty years old, and her spirit was not as good as before, but the overall was not bad.
"Niangniang is an elder, and the eldest grandson should salute you." Empress Eldest Sun smiled and sat down across from her.
"The queen came here today, but for Yongjia's business?" Concubine Wan came up with refreshments, and said while beckoning her eldest grandson to drink tea.
"Well, the father mentioned it a few days ago, and the daughter-in-law remembered it, but I don't know if there is a candidate in my father's heart?" Empress Eldest Sun picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea before speaking.
"There is one, Your Majesty is more optimistic about the Empress Dowager's nephew Dou Fengjie, Dou Fengjie is four years older than Yongjia, can be literate and martial, his father is the Empress Dowager's cousin, is Chen Guogong, who was personally entitled by His Majesty, with his background, it is enough to match Yongjia." Wan Taifei said.
"Since you are optimistic, Your Majesty can directly grant marriage, presumably the uncle and aunt of the Dou family will not have an opinion?" When Empress Eldest Sun heard this, she asked with some surprise.
Concubine Wan smiled bitterly, lowered her head and drank tea silently, the eldest grandson was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, but I was afraid that it was really Dou Fengjie's mother, Mrs. Anguo, who was not very happy.
Dou Fengjie's father, the former Chen Guogong Dou Kang has passed away, he was raised by his mother, and Dou Kang's death back then was somewhat related to Gaozu, plus Mrs. Anguo knew Yongjia's temperament better, so she was not very happy with this marriage.
Gaozu was already a little guilty about Dou Kang, but now he took a fancy to his son, and it was inconvenient to marry him directly on the premise that his mother was not very happy, so he found himself.
If this is the case, this matter is not very easy to do, Chen Guogong followed her husband to fight in the north and south, and made great contributions, but he was implicated halfway and died of depression, and the royal family was a little sorry for him.
Now that his son is finally promising, Gaozu has taken a fancy to him again and wants to pull him over to be his son-in-law, and Yongjia, the eldest grandson, after understanding it, really can't say with a clear conscience what a good wife candidate she is.
Princess Shang is naturally a beautiful thing that ordinary people can't ask for, but for the Dou family, it is obviously not the case, if Mrs. Anguo really doesn't want her son Shang Yongjia to be the princess, she can still force them to fail?
"That's right, how about I summon Mrs. Dou to the palace to talk about it another day, and probe her tone first?" Empress Eldest Sun was silent for a moment before she pondered.
"That's fine, Yongjia is still young, so don't worry." Concubine Wan obviously understood this as well, and said with a smile.
When she left Da'an Palace, Empress Changsun's brows were twisted again, no wonder the Emperor Taishang wanted to let herself meddle in Yongjia's family affairs, but her family affairs were not easy to handle.
"Niangniang, after you came out of Concubine Wan, your face was not very good-looking, but what happened?" On the way back to the palace, Ah Chou saw that Empress Changsun's brows had not been relaxed, and he couldn't help but ask.
When Empress Eldest Sun and Concubine Wan were talking, they avoided it and didn't know about Yongjia.
"Nothing." Empress Eldest Sun shook her head.
After returning to the palace, she took someone to the imperial study, so that the emperor could come to the Lizheng Palace when he was free.
In the evening of the same day, Li Shimin came to the Lizheng Hall after finishing his official business, and as soon as he saw his wife, he joked: "What, the queen is really jealous, and she is going to leave me in your Lizheng Hall every day in the future?" ”
"Your Majesty is getting less and less in shape, and the concubines are looking for Your Majesty to come over for a serious matter." Empress Eldest Sun glanced at her husband.
"Hey, I know that you won't be jealous, I still want to hear you say a sweet word from your little daughter to coax me, it seems that there is no hope, let's say, what's the matter." Li Shimin shook his head regretfully, took her hand, sat on the soft couch together, and asked.
"Didn't I tell Your Majesty yesterday about choosing a relative for Yongjia, my father actually has a candidate in his heart." Empress Eldest Sun was silent for a moment before she spoke.
"Now that you have a candidate, you can marry directly, what are you looking for?" Li Shimin said strangely, no one stipulates that the emperor can't be married?
"It's mainly because my father likes people, and I'm not very happy about this marriage." The eldest grandson replied.
"What family?" When Li Shimin heard this, his face suddenly sank, there were still people in the court who looked down on the royal family?
