172. I have a place to belong
Su Xiaojin nodded, and told him about his brother's visit to the house today. Tang Muchen didn't say a word after hearing this, he was still planning how to help Xiao Yu and persuade the Queen Mother to change her mind. But when the girl is older, she will marry sooner or later, if the Queen Mother does not agree, I am afraid that there is nothing she can do, and now it seems that things have taken a turn for the better.
The two of them didn't dare to delay, and they should help with this matter. So, they began to discuss non-stop how to find a way to make Meng's two wine bags and rice bags retreat.
At this time, Meng Shi, who mistakenly thought that the matter was half successful, was happily telling the kitchen to cook a few more dishes today, and she wanted to accompany Hou Ye to have a good drink.
In Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother was talking to Xiao Yu. Tang Chuan's intention today is very obvious, the princess has reached the age of marriage, it is really inappropriate for him to stay so strongly, and his two sons happen to be the same age, so they are the most suitable candidates.
"Queen Mother, as long as the princess is willing, she can choose the two dogs of the old minister at will. The princess is beautiful and fragrant, and virtuous and virtuous, and it is a blessing for me to be able to marry into the door! ”
This is Tang Chuan's original words today, when he and the Queen Mother said these words, they happened to be heard by the maid who was serving tea and pouring water next to him. took the opportunity to go to the kitchen to get snacks and ran to Xiao Yu to pass the word.
Xiao Yu was bored admiring the flowers in the pavilion in the back garden, and he was stupid when he heard the words of the maidservant. She didn't expect Tang Chuan to come to propose, let alone marry his two uncompetitive sons!
"Princess, the two sons of the old marquis and the Meng family are carved out of the same mold, they are too lazy to do anything, and they like to mess with flowers and grass, they are famous playboys in the capital!" Although the maidservant girl does not leave the palace, she has long heard of the two Tang Yan brothers.
Xiao Yu frowned, people often say that good things can't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. She also heard a lot about the two sons and daughters of the Hou family. It is rumored that the two of them are idle every day, relying on the fact that they are the son of a lazy marquis, and they do a lot of ninth-rate things.
"I know, but what now? Tang Chuan is a veteran of the dynasty, and even his father is in awe, what can I do? "In the end, he is young, and after a while, Xiao Yu will be anxious about the six gods.
Although she didn't like the Queen Mother to take care of her every day, she didn't think about getting married in a hurry. When her sister Xiao Yun got married, she knew it, and she witnessed the misery of her weeping until dawn, but she didn't expect it to be her turn so soon.
"Princess, are you willing? You were born stunningly beautiful, and you read poetry and books, are you willing to marry such a mediocre and boring straw bag? The personal maid Birou saw the princess's resignation, and she was angry and anxious.
"Princess, the slave has served you since childhood, and I know that you have a good heart. But where are ordinary people worthy of you? You are the pearl of the sky, if it is not for the other party's talent, who is qualified to stand side by side with you? It's unfortunate enough for the eldest princess to marry another country, the slave really hopes that you can have your own happiness, and the concubine you want to marry is what you really like, at least like ......"
Speaking of this, Bi Rou paused, and her mind quickly screened the famous rich sons in the capital.
"You also want to be a handsome boy like Su Xiaoqian! Yes, yes, a son like Su Xiaoqian is worthy of our noble princess! ”
What a word to wake up a dreamer!
The maid's words were like a ray of sunshine shining into Xiao Yu's heart. She suddenly had an epiphany. Yes, she should follow her heart and marry a humble son who can do elegant things with her to enjoy tea and the moon, not a swinger with bad conduct.
Su Xiaoqian, Xiao Yu wrung the handkerchief in his hand and was silent. I hadn't seen him since that day. Only occasionally I heard the father-in-law and palace maids in the palace talk in private, saying that how he excelled in the court, not only was the emperor favored, but even the rich daughters in the capital hated to make a promise.
He is so good, naturally he is indispensable to the woman he admires. It's just that he is trapped in the deep palace, and it is difficult to even see the previous one, how can he know his intentions? If he already has a heart, wouldn't my wishful thinking be a joke?
As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Yu's heart was very stuffy. She couldn't tell what it felt, something called longing was growing wildly in her heart. She also had to desperately pretend that she didn't care.
The Queen Mother taught her that women should be reserved, but this reserve is too restrictive, she doesn't dare to laugh out loud in front of her, dare not speak loudly, and pay attention to royal etiquette everywhere, which is really physically and mentally exhausting.
Su Xiaoqian is different, he is not only handsome, but also humble and polite. When he meets himself, he seems to be comfortable, he is like his eldest brother, he can be trusted and relied on, and he can talk freely about what he wants.
"Birou, go get the paper and ink." Thinking of this, she made up her mind. The matter has come to this point, and there is nothing to be reserved, and this marriage must be stopped.
"Yu'er, the mourning family is talking to you, have you listened!" The majestic voice of the Queen Mother sounded in the main hall.
Jing Yu hurriedly bowed her head and pleaded guilty, she was absent-minded just now, and she didn't hear the queen mother's voice at all.
"Get up. You tell the mourners, what are you thinking? The Queen Mother put down the teacup and looked at her carefully.
"No, the Queen Mother, it's because my grandson is a little tired from practicing calligraphy recently, so I'm just distracted, and I hope the Queen Mother will punish me." Xiao Yu pressed his flustered heart, lowered his head, and did not dare to look at the queen mother's eyes. She has always been shrewd and capable, and she is afraid that she will see at a glance that she is lying.
The Queen Mother saw that she didn't tell the truth, and she was no longer reluctant. After doing it for so long, her body was very uncomfortable, so she waved her hand to let her retreat.
Xiao Yu hurriedly withdrew as if amnesty. She didn't know if the Queen Mother would talk back if she continued, but she dared to conclude that she would definitely not agree to her marriage. She had already lived in one person in her heart, and she couldn't accommodate other men anymore.
"Princess, are you alright?" Out of the palace, Xiao Yu was sweating. Birou intimately brought her a golden silk handkerchief and asked her to wipe her sweat while hurrying to her house.
Today, the Queen Mother is already mentioning her, if she doesn't think of a way, I'm afraid she can only accept her fate and be stuffed into a sedan chair to marry Tang Yan. In this way, she and Su Xiaoqian will be strangers when they meet again. She shouldn't be unhappy like her sister, she must be brave enough to control her own destiny!
"Let's go, I want you to send me a letter." Xiao Yu pulled Birou back to the inner room, took out a letter from the box, and told her to hand it over to the other party in person.
Birou nodded and left. She looked at her figure and breathed a sigh of relief, sister, now only you can help me!
