057 The Song family has a daughter
It's just that they met twice, and suddenly said that they were reluctant to ask, Min'er glanced at Qingya, and Qingya understood in her heart that there was no need to invite Lord Song to tell history for Niangniang next time. But now that people are begging each other, and listening to it and then considering whether to reject it, perhaps the "reluctant request" is just a humble statement.
But I didn't expect that Song Yuan mentioned a very important matter, his sister was included in the selection this time, and it is very likely that she will be selected as General Shen's wife, when he said these words, Min'er thought that Lord Song was going to open the door for him to make it convenient, but he didn't expect people to say: "My sister already has a sweetheart, just because his ancestors passed away not long ago, and it is not suitable to talk about marriage in the filial piety period, so she failed to make a marriage contract." According to the will of the imperial court, this time I had to enter the palace to run for election, not because Weichen was self-righteous, and it was expected that the sister would definitely be selected, but I was afraid of what happened. If she is selected, Xiaomei's life will change from now on, and she is not worthy of General Shen, for fear of future tragedy, she implores the queen to remove Xiaomei from the selection list. ”
I didn't expect that what people asked for was the complete opposite, this will take the path of concubines, and those who try to cross the threshold of the Longevity Palace, are all looking forward to sending their daughters to the General's Mansion, but this Song Yuan is going the opposite way and wants to take his sister out.
"Lord Song, this time the matter is taken care of by the lady concubine, the queen is not not helping you, the affairs in the palace are very clear, even if the lady is noble, she can't break the rules for selfishness, if Miss Song is really selected and becomes the general's wife, everyone in the world will envy her and bless her."
Qingya politely refused for Min'er, Min'er didn't say anything, got up and was about to leave. Maybe this is the last time Song Yuan will tell her history, but it's a pity that it only talks about the three years of Jianguang, which is still a little bit short.
Song Yuan couldn't make a mistake, and immediately stepped aside, saying these words was also risking his life, the queen was already merciful if he didn't pursue it, how could he dare to force it.
However, the queen paused when she passed in front of him, as if she had something to say, but in the end she didn't speak, Min'er still left without saying anything, and it wasn't until she walked on the approach bridge that she asked Qingya: "Can I go to the queen mother to discuss this matter." ”
Qingya analyzed: "The Queen Mother must not want to choose a niece and daughter-in-law who thinks about other men, but in case the Queen Mother feels that as long as she likes it or General Shen likes it, she must marry General Shen...... Niangniang, although the Queen Mother has a good temperament, who knows which thing will step on the bottom line of the Queen Mother? ”
Min'er bowed: "I think so too." Otherwise, Lord Song loves his sister so much, and he is above board, why don't I help him. It's a pity that I can't listen to him anymore. ”
Qingya asked: "Niangniang really no longer summons Lord Song." ”
Min'er was very sure: "For everyone's good, the emperor doesn't like it, I know." ”
On this side, Song Yuan was led out of the palace by the palace people, and soon there was a palace maid who sent the words to Changping Palace, Lin Zhaoyi was impatiently writing to his family, Sun Xiurong took a few concubines to sit and play chess under the window, and heard that the queen had summoned the historian again, and someone laughed: "In our palace, it is still the first time that someone has seen a foreign minister outside the family in the inner palace. I heard that Lord Song is a talented person and looks dignified. ”
Sun Xiurong put down a chess piece and frowned: "These words are insinuating, and I am not afraid of flashing my tongue." ”
Lin Zhaoyi put down the pen angrily and said angrily: "There are so many things, how can I say it clearly in a few words, where should I start writing." ”
Everyone came and asked, "What does Niangniang want to write, so important and trivial?" ”
Lin said: "You don't want to think about it, the Queen Mother is going all out to choose a wife for her nephew, and she has caught up with the court draft, although you and I have never experienced it, we have always heard of it, right?" ”
Sun Xiurong asked puzzledly, "What do you mean?" ”
Lin Zhaoyi sighed: "Don't you think, the Queen Mother also wants to leave a few people for the emperor?" ”
The women looked at each other and said, "Aren't the emperor and the queen hot now?" ”
Lin Zhaoyi smiled mysteriously and pouted: "What's hot, it's not a round house yet......
"Don't have a round house yet?"
Someone exclaimed, and was pressed by Sun Xiurong, and Lin Zhaoyi also scolded: "Be a little louder, I also tried my best to find out, do you want to say that the emperor's face is still up?" ”
In the Shangyang Palace, Min'er has been sitting in the water pavilion to rest, is leisurely sprinkling fish food, koi fish seem to have spirituality, do not want to be rude in front of the mother, will not scramble to compete for fish food, just swim around peacefully, fish food will be eaten in front of you, and the emperor seems to boil the lake scene is completely different.
Min'er scattered all the fish food, Qingya also came, the palace people put down the low table, she put the book on the low table, and said to Min'er: "Niangniang, it's just the book left by Lord Song." ”
Min'er took it and turned a few pages, this is the last time Song Yuan came to tell history for himself, he went back to specially compile the big and small things that happened in the past 20 years, in addition to the neat text, there are also comments in small letters, some unfamiliar words are also specially explained, and even when a certain place is mentioned, it will roughly explain which direction it is, as well as the customs and customs, the thick three books, I don't know how much effort it takes.
Counting the days, whether it was sincerely compiling these books for himself at the beginning, or later in exchange for his sister's life, Min'er could not easily deny the hard work of others. In the officialdom with simmering interests, there can still be such a calm mind to do learning, just like the elders of my grandmother's mother's family, my grandmother often said that there are fewer and fewer people who are so dedicated to learning in this world.
"You send these three books to the Qingming Pavilion for the emperor to see, and if there is nothing wrong, send them back to me to read." Min'er was very cautious, she didn't even expect Qingya, she thought it was just a few books, no big deal, but she didn't know that words seemed to be just a stroke, and they were often the most powerful weapon that could shake the heavens and the earth.
But sure enough, even the emperor felt that Min'er was too careful, and felt that if they were a loving husband and wife, they would not have these concerns at all, but they were finally happy in their hearts, even if they couldn't exist in Min'er's heart as a husband and a man, she at least had her own existence in her eyes. After reading it in a hurry, I asked people to send it back.
In the blink of an eye, it was July 20th, and the young and beautiful daughters entered the palace to participate in the election according to the rules, and it was the first time that Concubine Shu did such a thing, mobilizing all the palace people of the old dynasty in the palace, and portraying it exactly the same as before, and she knew that the emperor would be officially drafted in the future, and at that time, it must be more grand and cumbersome than now.
There is a vague legend in the palace that the queen mother has the heart to leave a few people for the emperor, and the concubine knows that the emperor's mind is now all on the queen, and she is not worried about it, on the contrary, she hopes that her cousin can be chosen by the queen mother. And on this day, Concubine Shu specially came to Qingming Pavilion to invite merit and invite the emperor to go to the Longevity Palace together.
Xiang Ye said: "They are all young women, it is inconvenient for me to go, you are in charge." ”
Concubine Shu pestered him and said: "This is another top priority in the life of the Queen Mother, if the emperor is more enthusiastic and helps to take a few looks, the Queen Mother will be happy." ”
I remember that my mother said that she was very nervous and afraid of choosing the wrong person, Xiang Ye thought that she would share some of it herself, even if her younger brother and wife could not be harmonious in the future, it would be better not to ask her mother to take responsibility alone, and seeing that Concubine Shu had been busy for so long, it was obvious that she was here to invite credit, so she agreed.
The holy driver came from the Qingming Pavilion to the Longevity Palace, and met the second batch of women to be selected to go to the Longevity Palace.
Concubine Shu generously said to the emperor: "Does the emperor still remember my family's Yunshang?" ”
Xiang Ye thought for a while: "Your cousin? ”
Concubine Shu smiled: "Yunshang is also here, probably in the next batch, the emperor will see in a while, whether my sister is worthy of being a general." ”
Concubine Shu has been like this for many years, she will tell the emperor everything she wants very clearly, and even if she wants to take the representative sister, Xiang Ye not only does not dislike it, but thinks that she is very good like this, it is better than the scheming people in the city government, the emperor who can give it will give it, and if she can't give it, she will make it clear to her.
"It's up to the queen mother to decide this matter." The Emperor replied casually and motioned to the young women, "Get up." ”
The flower-like girls fluttered up, the jewels and jade on the bun jingled one after another, and the emperor turned around inadvertently, and was suddenly shocked by an eyebrow.
He looked back in a daze, his eyes were sharp and searched among the girls, and finally settled on a person's body, although the girl lowered her head slightly, she could also see her eyebrows clearly, Xiang Ye's heart almost jumped out of her chest, and she involuntarily walked towards the girl.
Concubine Shu was shocked, and hurriedly followed, and when the emperor stood still and stopped moving, and ordered the woman in front of her to raise her head, Concubine Shu let out a low cry and hurriedly covered her mouth.
The young girl was silent, looking at the tall and mighty emperor in fear, she didn't know what she had done wrong, and she couldn't have known that the emperor and the concubine saw the figure of Empress Jing'an in her.
In the world, there are people who look so similar, and Ruoyao fourteen years ago came to him in this way, and when he died, he had just turned ten.
"Your Majesty ......" Concubine Shu trembled, she turned around to look at the emperor's expression, and saw the sad and affectionate gaze that she would never be able to get.
At this moment, seeing Qingya coming with the palace people, she thoughtfully wanted the emperor to salute, Xiang Ye suddenly came back to his senses and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Qingya said: "The queen mother got the permission of the queen mother, took Miss Song to Shangyang Palace, and selected Miss Song as the mother's attendant to read." ”
The emperor said lightly: "Got it." ”
Qingya asked everyone: "Which one is the sister of the imperial historian Song Yuan, Song Linglong?" ”
The crowd was silent, but seeing that Fang Fang had just been ordered by the emperor to raise her head, the young woman who didn't know that she looked like Empress Jing'an made a timid voice: "Little girl, it's Song Linglong." ”
Qingya had never seen Queen Jing'an, let alone knew about it, so she said, "Miss Song, please come with the slave." ”
Xiang Ye looked at them in a daze, and Concubine Shu saw that Qingya was going to take the girl away, and said loudly: "Slow." ”
