Chapter 116: Marriage Proposal
Prince Rong pulled Wanying to push the door into the flower hall, the lush fragrance came to the nose, if the strange flowers and plants outside the hall are the best flowers in the world, then the rare and exotic trees in the flower hall are the heavenly spirits. There are so many novel flowers in one day, and it is really dazzling to see. In front of the bright window in the depths of the sea of flowers, a woman in civilian clothes was crooked on the chaise longue, and the sunlight was reflected on her face red through the shadow veil.
When Wanying and Prince Rong walked in, she opened her eyes slightly, saw him, and only said, "Coming?" ”
Prince Rong pulled Wanying to the front of the collapse, and the child snuggled up to the side of the chaise longue, and said coquettishly: "Mother is not asleep? Haha......"
This 'mother' made Wanying very surprised, and the emperor called the queen mother 'queen mother' while Prince Rong called the queen mother 'mother'.
The Queen Mother smiled, grabbed Prince Rong with her hand, and looked doting.
Before coming in, Wan Ying untied Prince Rong's big hat, Wan Ying knew in her heart that Prince Rong's big was envied in the eyes of others, and if it fell in the eyes of the Queen Mother, it would be in the eyes of the Queen Mother. After all, this is not a place where Wanying can show off her might, so Wanying at this moment, in the eyes of this queen mother, is an ordinary palace maid who is respectful.
"Mother, why bother Your Majesty, he is also a mother who pulls it with one hand, isn't he? It's the same as Yuhiko. "He's like a kid at the moment.
The Queen Mother pulled Prince Rong over, sat next to her, and said softly: "My son, you are still too young, you will understand your mother's hard work in the future."
"Didn't my mother stop meddling in the affairs of the court a long time ago?"
"The stakes are very high, and we must not blindly let the emperor listen to people's instigation."
"It's just a political envoy, is it that serious?"
"The political envoy of Longxibu, although he is not a feudal official, but it is a matter of the northwest, he would rather raise tigers by his own people, and must not be handed over to outsiders, otherwise when the time comes, there will be collusion between inside and outside, and the countries will be self-proclaimed, and it will not be something that our ladies can control. We orphans and widows, if we don't appoint cronyism, who will take us in the eyes of this world? Who will listen to our orders? If there is no nepotism in the Great Calendar of the Frontier, and something happens when the time comes, it will not be a matter of a few rumors. ”
"Mother, are you talking about Wei Guang's rebellion?"
"The poor mother's little love for her son, she really couldn't bear to hurt the emperor's heart at that time, so she connived at the emperor to go his own way. If I had stopped it ruthlessly at that time, I wouldn't have come to this point. The people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, Wei Guang has come to it, and this step has long been expected. When he was asked to go to Fujian, now it seems that he is really letting the tiger return to the mountain. ”
"But Fu Yi's behavior is indeed a little criticized, and when the ministers were on the western tour, they also heard some public anger."
"The Hu Department of the Western Regions covets our Great Zhou, it's not a day or two, if the border is not guarded, then there will be collusion between inside and outside, and the consequences can be imagined. My son, the trouble of the henchman is often not in the henchman, but in the place where our hands and feet cannot reach. ”
"From the Hetao Plain to the capital is only a few hundred miles, if it is a rapid march, it is two or three days of effort, and the Hu cavalry has always been brave, if Longxi is really lost, it will be two days at most to the capital. In this way, Longxi is indeed the barrier of the capital. ”
"My son can think of this, and he won't be wronged as a mother, but the emperor listened to the instigation of others and couldn't see the key point."
"The seventh brother is still young, and he is taught by his mother, and he slowly understands."
When the Queen Mother heard this, she was full of joy on her face, her eyes were kind and kind, she warmed his hand with her hand, and said: "It's been cold skiing these days, didn't you say yesterday that you won't come to ask for peace today?" On a cold day, if you don't stay in the house, what are you doing here? ”
"I heard in the morning that Mrs. Liu is a concubine, and the child wants to come and pay a respect."
A trace of imperceptible coldness flashed on the Queen Mother's face, which was fleeting and no one knew. Rubbing his hands up and down repeatedly, he said, "Have you ever been there?" ”
"Well, I've been."
"Breakfast over?"
He didn't answer the Queen Mother's words, took a deep breath, knelt down and said: "Mother, my son has a wish, I hope my mother will fulfill it?" ”
When the queen mother saw him like this, she pulled him up with a smile, sat down on the couch again, and said, "What is my son's wish, say it and let the mother listen to it." ”
As soon as he heard this, he jumped up excitedly, turned around and took Wanying's hand, knelt in front of the couch with Wanying, and said, "The child wants to marry her as a concubine, please let her mother be the master." ”
When the Queen Mother saw the two of them kneeling, there was already a little displeasure between her eyebrows, and by the time he said what he wanted, the displeasure had already converged into unspeakable resistance. The Queen Mother must be unwilling.
The flower hall was quiet, and the thrushes of the finches hanging on the beams chirped. "The young lady of the Hou family of Wu'an is set by her mother, and she goes back on her word, which is a loss of royal system, and since Miss Feng has promised to marry you, she is not a young lady in the boudoir, if you insist on not marrying, then she can only keep the festival for you until she dies of old age."
The Queen Mother did not say with or with, and said such a truth lightly, which was also sincere. A mother's beloved son is the same as all mothers in the world, no matter how strong a mother is, she will always be the most peaceful and loving in front of her children.
"Mother, Yu Yan is not Shi Wanying and doesn't marry, and the others can't take care of so much, if my mother feels that Miss Feng is wronged, it's not impossible to point her another marriage? Her son is unmarried, and she is not married, which may not make her smile and generous. Besides, her son has a heart, and she insists on following her son, isn't she wronged? ”
The Queen Mother's gaze only glanced at Wanying indiscriminately when Prince Rong said that he wanted to marry Wanying.
Wanying knew very well in her heart: she, the most noble queen mother of the Great Zhou Dynasty, could not agree to her marriage with him at all, so she would not waste so many eyes on herself.
Thinking of this, Wanying's chest kept rising and falling.
"Shi Wanying? The mourners sound so familiar. The Queen Mother was in a trance looking for memories of Wanying.
"Miss Yin Shi Zhongyuan of Shuntian Mansion." Prince Rong said.
"Oh? It's you, Concubine Dong'an once mentioned it to the mourning family. The Queen Mother's eyes finally patronized Wanying again, and the moment their eyes met, Wanying trembled a little, just a look, why was Wanying so uncertain? And there seems to be something hidden in her eyes, but Wanying doesn't know.
A maid of the Queen Mother next to her said: "Master Shi and a daughter are now the emperor's nobles, and the emperor has decreed that she will be promoted to the concubine position after the New Year." ”
"Really?" The Queen Mother was noncommittal, her face was as calm as a lake in spring, without a trace of waves, let alone a trace of ups and downs. Wanying couldn't guess what she was going to do.
"Even so, the mourning family knows."
"Mother, I know what it means, my son wants his mother to agree, and I have a relationship with her."
"My son, I really married my daughter-in-law and forgot my mother, I see that you are in a hurry, the prince marries his wife, it is not as simple as a child playing at home."
As soon as the Queen Mother's words came out, although she did not answer, she was a little mature when she heard this tone, but this sudden change in the situation made Wanying a little incredulous. Maybe it's a loving mother and a son, or maybe a father's official position is not an insult to the royal lintel, but I really rejoice in my heart.
"My mother agreed, and the child thanked my mother for making it happen." After Prince Rong finished speaking, he pulled Wanying to kneel down and thank him, as if he was afraid that the Queen Mother would regret it.
"My mother is just such a son as you, and I will have a daughter-in-law in the future, but I have to remember my mother." The Queen Mother took his hand, her eyes were full of him, and Wanying was also half of the protagonist, but she never had a chance to enter her eyes again.
What did Wanying always think was weird? But I can't tell what's wrong. I only said in my heart: Xu is thinking too much, good things come too quickly and suddenly, and I am stupid.
