"Today's sun is coming out of the west?" The queen mother couldn't believe her ears, her nephew refused to marry after avoiding marriage year after year, and now she took the initiative to beg herself to start a family for him. But after this joke, the Queen Mother had some other thoughts in her heart, if she had been happy in the past, something like that happened in Qinzhou, and Min'er beside her was the reason why he refused to marry a wife in the past.

"Queen Mother, General Shen must have something to say to you, it's not the right time for your son to come, so I'll retire first. For the general's choice of a wife, if there can be a son who can help, the queen mother can only order the son. Min'a got up, she wasn't fit here at the moment, she didn't feel like it was appropriate anyway.

The queen mother did not stop her, she did have something to ask her nephew privately, so she left with her daughter-in-law, and as soon as Min'er walked out of the Longevity Palace, she said to Qingya: "When you see your mother in the future, you should be careful for me, and try not to collide with General Shen." I know that he is your savior and the best person in the world, but you know the affairs of Qinzhou, deliberately avoid suspicion for fear that the emperor will be suspicious, but it is not okay not to avoid suspicion, I will be more cautious. ”

Qingya hurriedly said: "Although General Shen is the life-saving benefactor of the slave maid, the slave and maid are the mother's person, and in the future, the slave and maid will naturally put you first." ”

Min'er smiled faintly: "You should also be yourself, you should be good for yourself, so that you can always be by my side, right?" ”

The Queen Mother was calmer than ever, and ordered Shen Zhe to come to him, looking at his child carefully, and asked him: "Do you really want to start a family?" Zhe'er, do you still have to make a family for others to see? Make it for ...... Your brother looks? ”

Shen Zhe didn't hide it: "Now there is no one to wait for, and there is no one to find, the child can no longer drag out the marriage, after all, the child is the only incense of the Shen family." ”

The Queen Mother shook her head: "That's not what I said. ”

Shen Zhe said: "You can't go to the street to pull anyone to get married, you still have to ask your aunt to be thoughtful before you can choose the right person, this matter, the child can't be the master himself." ”

But the Queen Mother was still not at ease, so she simply asked: "Are you afraid that your brother will be suspicious of you and the queen, so you are in a hurry to start a family?" Child, are you and your brother at odds with each other for this, can you never be ......the same as before?"

"Auntie, even if this didn't happen, my brother and I wouldn't be like that before." Shen Zhe said frankly, "My brother is the emperor, and even my aunt treats my brother differently than before, isn't it?" No one wants about the queen's affairs, it's really a joke made by God, I can only say that the queen and I are innocent, and the rest doesn't have to be explained to anyone. Getting married is my own business, and it has nothing to do with my brother or the queen. Auntie, when it comes to choosing a wife, the child will leave it to you, with the current status of my Shen family, I can't marry anyone casually. ”

The Queen Mother sighed: "Yes, even your brother is not free to marry a wife and take a concubine, he has to accept the daughters of those ministers as concubines, and he has to marry Min'er, but fortunately, Min'er is a good child." ”

Shen Zhe said: "If my brother has an explanation, my aunt just responds, whoever I marry will live a good life, but for the court and my brother, the meaning is more important." ”

The Queen Mother held her nephew's hand, looked lovingly at the child she had brought up, and said earnestly: "Zhe'er, my aunt doesn't want to see you sacrifice too much for Ye'er, at least I live, I don't want to see your brother become a ruthless emperor, I hope that you two brothers can always support each other and love each other, even if one day my aunt is gone, you can leave with peace of mind." ”

Shen Zhe said angrily: "My aunt shouldn't say these words, let my brother listen to them, it's time to be angry with me." ”

The Queen Mother nodded reassuringly, summoned Mama Lin, and said: "Send a message to Qingming Pavilion, I want to choose a wife for Zhe'er, and ask the emperor to order the ministers of civil and military affairs to send all the girls of the appropriate age and no marriage match in their respective families to the palace, and do it according to the specifications of the royal concubine." ”

"Auntie......"

The Queen Mother didn't care: "Don't worry, I have a reason." ”

The news quickly spread, and Min'er returned to Shangyang Palace, and the words came over, compared to the previous private selection in the Longevity Palace, this time it was real, and the treatment that Shen Zhe received was no different from that of the prince and the prince.

Although he is only the emperor's cousin and only the status of a general, whether it is the intention of the queen mother or the acquiescence of the emperor, this is to show the world that he plays a pivotal position in the imperial court in the imperial family, and the Shen family will inevitably be the most prosperous family in Daqi.

Min'er realized that this was not only about her relationship with Shen Zhe, but also about the stakes in the court, so she realized that she was not that important at all, and she was too self-righteous. In this way, I am happy and relaxed, and I don't have to carry the burden on myself.

And before she entered the door, the palace maids of Shangyang Hall invited Niangniang to the Water Pavilion as if offering treasures.

Min'er was surrounded by them for some reason, and saw that a thick layer of velvet blanket was spread on the wooden floor of the water pavilion, which was polished and clean every day, and the blanket was not woven according to the size of the water pavilion, but it was carefully cut, and the splicing place had to be seen carefully.

The little palace maids smiled and said, "Niangniang, the slaves and maids don't dare to go up and try it, and they have to wait for you to give it a try." ”

Min'er smiled and asked, "Who sent it?" ”

Everyone was stunned, and some laughed: "Niangniang, besides the emperor, who else can there be?" ”

Min'er remembered that when they were separated in the pavilion today, he told Qingya to lay a blanket for himself, but he didn't expect that as soon as he turned around, he was in a hurry to send someone to do it, and this emperor was really in a hurry to do anything.

But Min'er immediately denied the idea in her heart, the emperor is kind, she doesn't accept it, how can she say that others are not. Naturally, if you don't accept it now, you have to accept it, aren't all the blankets covered?

When Qingya followed, she saw this blanket and said in surprise: "The emperor is really willing, this is still a congratulatory gift sent by the Persian country from thousands of miles when the emperor ascended the throne three years ago." It was said that it took their craftsmen ten years to weave a blanket, and the emperor originally wanted to give it to the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother said that she couldn't use such a precious thing, so she kept it untouched. This is cut off, and the rest of the ones can be used to make a few mats. ”

Seeing Qingya lying on the ground and carefully stroking the velvet blanket, Min'er was about to walk up with her shoes on, but she unconsciously took off her embroidered shoes and stepped on the velvet blanket through cloth socks, light and soft, as if on a cloud, and more importantly, there was a hot warmth under her feet, which was so pleasant.

Qingya saw the queen smiling, so she said: "The emperor really has a heart, the slave maid has served in the Qingming Pavilion for two years, and I haven't seen the emperor use anyone like this." ”

Min'er glanced at her, and walked back silently, not too careless or cautious, just cherishing things, and said: "Can you eat here in the future, can you write, if the soup is spilled, the ink is spilled, wouldn't it be a ruin of the heavens." ”

The emperor seemed to expect Min'er to have this worry, and had already told the palace people to pass on his words, and the palace maid on the side retold the original words sent by Zhou Gonggong eloquently, saying that she wanted Min'er to do what she liked in the water pavilion as it was, and she didn't have to worry about soiling or damaging the precious velvet carpet.

After hearing this, Min'er said lightly: "You still have to be careful, good things must be cherished." ”

At this moment, when he got the news that his cousin was going to get married, Xiang Ye was putting down what he was doing and rushed to the Longevity Palace to discuss with his mother and younger brother, and when he left the Longevity Palace with Shen Zhe, he heard Zhou Huailai return to his life, saying that the mother had seen the blanket and liked it very much.

"She likes it?" Xiang Ye happily asked, "Did you pass on my words that she didn't have to cherish too much, and reversed the severity?" ”

Zhou Huai replied one by one, the emperor was in a very good mood, and when he turned around, he realized that his younger brother was behind him, and he reached out and patted Shen Zhe's shoulder: "After you become a family, you must treat others well." ”

Shen Zhe smiled and said nothing, although his brother two months ago was not qualified to say these words, but now he is indeed treating Min'er well, this is enough, his brother is a person who values love and righteousness, once he takes this relationship seriously, no one can shake it.

As for himself, except for Min'er, it is the same for everyone to marry, An Ansheng lives a good life, so that his brother and aunt can rest assured, and Min'er can also rest assured, it is also enough.

The palace is full of buzz about Shen Zhe marrying a wife, his status and concubines are very clear in their hearts, it is the existence of ten thousand people under one person, and it is the figure that the queen mother treats as her own son, compared to entering the palace as a concubine, the daughters of the noble mansion in the capital hope to marry into the Shen family as the main room, and the female dependents of the concubines' families have also sent people to contact them early.

It's just that there are very few people in this palace who can talk in front of the emperor, and Concubine Shu will turn over the letters at home and read them again and again, as early as two months ago, the family mentioned that she hopes she can bring the family to the capital.

But in order to avoid suspicion, Concubine Shu never mentioned this matter to the Queen Mother and the Emperor after entering Beijing, and the people of their Jiang family are still in Jizhou, after all, it is not Empress Jing'an's own family, and it is impossible for the emperor to give preferential treatment together, and Concubine Shu never asks for such a thing in front of the emperor in order to make her position.

However, two months ago, the emperor made an empress, and the things that the family wrote to were very different.

In the past, even if her Feng'er was a concubine, her status was far more noble than Wang Jieyu, and her second son was more important than the emperor's eldest son, but now it is different, with the queen, there may be a son-in-law in the future, so her son ......

Concubine Shu crumpled the letter tightly in the palm of her hand, and the family wanted her to bring her cousin into the palace and serve her husband with her, which was something that Concubine Shu could not agree to no matter what.

But right now, if you can marry your cousin into the Shen family.
