Chapter 12: The Birthday of Reunion
Yu Zijin and the three of them looked at the two villains walking away with amusement, and then remembered that they had never seen the five girls of the Huo family since they returned to Luzhou, so they asked Ouyang Peiyue what kind of family she promised.
When it comes to her fifth sister, Ouyang Peiyue is quite helpless, the fifth girl has already reached the age of marriage, but her mind is different from ordinary people, the Huo family will inevitably rest assured that she will marry early, so they will look at a reliable family for her very early, and wait for one day when she can rely on her mind and then send her out of the house. Two years ago, when the five girls were in a state of mind, they had always had an indispensable attitude towards this matter, although she didn't know the world, but she also understood that the girl's family couldn't stay by her mother's side, and one day she was going to get married, so she only listened to Huo Yanting's arrangement. In the past two years, the five girls have gradually repelled the marriage for some reason, and their mental and verbal expressions are different from the past, Huo Yanting and Ouyang Peiyue noticed that something was wrong, so they invited Dr. Shen, who was a skilled doctor in the Yingcheng Palace, to come over, and Dr. Shen looked at it carefully, and only said: "Hongmeng will be opened, don't force it." ”
After Huo Yanting and Ouyang Peiyue thought about it carefully, they put this matter on hold for the time being, and now the fifth girl went to the desert to run the border business with her father Huo Jia, the second master, and she has not returned for half a year.
Speaking of the marriage of the five girls, Ouyang Peiyue suddenly remembered the recent events and said: "Zijin, do you know that the emperor is about to get married in the spring next year?" ”
Yu Zijin nodded and said, "I know, Ah Zheng mentioned it to me a few days ago, and Ah Zheng and I will go to Shangluo in person at that time." ”
Yancui and Ouyang Peiyue glanced at each other and asked, "The roster of female recruiters of various official families will be reported to the inner palace a year ago, can the lord have a candidate for the next position in his heart?" ”
Yu Zijin gently cupped his cheeks and said: "Although Ah Zheng is now the prince regent, he is a foreign minister, even if it is related to the national system after the election, he should not ask more, besides, who is the hindrance to the Yingcheng Palace?" ”
Yan Cui raised her eyebrows and said: "It's no obstacle for us, but now in the eyes of outsiders, sitting in the position of the mother of that country is far worse than being the main room of Haoqing Marquis!" ”
These words reminded Yu Zijin, why did so many official wives try to send their daughters to the Yingcheng Palace, through her on Zhao Taijun's birthday a few days ago? On the one hand, they certainly have the heart to become inflammatory, but on the other hand, they are not hiding from the draft at the beginning of the next year, and the status and age of those girls are not exactly in line with the qualifications for the selection of women.
The little emperor's mind is insufficient, the Yuan family is crumbling, the supreme position of the woman in the world has already lost its brilliance under such conditions, and any visionary family head will not be willing to send the girl in the family to the palace, and it is good to return home if he loses the election, in case he is selected, it is equivalent to passively tying his family and the Yuan family together through the draft, and the glory of the emperor's relatives is the starting point of the decline of the Yuan family, and no one wants this day to come.
Therefore, this step can only be retreated, not advanced, and they all think clearly, so it is so easy to succumb to seek the position of the concubine of Haoqing.
Yu Zijin smiled, Huo Yang, Zhao Yunfeng and Admiral Jun Tianwu's family have several sons who are about the same age as Yuwen Jingyu, and they are not yet married, those official wives have touched a nail in her, and it is inevitable that they will move their targets to these promising sons of the family, and a few sisters-in-law and Sister Peiyue are annoyed!
She smiled and asked, "Sister Peiyue, do you have a favorite?" ”
Ouyang Peiyue stroked her forehead and bluntly said, "Dazzled, can't be praised"!
Yu Zijin chuckled, and said: "If you want me to say it, why bother with them, if they really have the ability to serve the Yingcheng Palace, who cares who they marry and whom, but their move really reminds me of one thing." In the past, the original industry fled westward, only Wuyang Yue's family, Ma family, Qin's three surnames followed with their families, the successor of the original industry was established back then, that is, the current queen mother from the Qin family, and the rest of the two clans each had concubines, and now in addition to the Qin family's slight prestige by virtue of the position of the descendants, the rest of the two clans have declined, if the Qin family, which has no foundation in western Sichuan, wants to keep their only remaining prestige, in addition to continuing to produce a queen, it seems that there is no other way to go, I think the Empress Dowager Qin is bound to strongly recommend her niece. ”
Ouyang Peiyue poured tea and sneered: "The Qin family has an empty name, and it has long been useless, how can those uneasy princes of the Yuan family still take the Qin family in their eyes?" ”
Yu Zijin smiled and drank tea, "That's it, the Qin family can't succeed, then the candidate in their minds can only come from the Western Sichuan clan, but the in-law relationship of the Western Sichuan clan is intertwined, all of them have a deep relationship with the Huo family, Admiral Jun Tianwu, Zhao Dudu, and Prime Minister Liu, and the descendants of the new generation of capable people are all taught by Mr. Chu, it can be said that they are all in the hands of the Yingcheng Palace, even if there is a queen in any family, how can the Yuan family easily believe that they will dare to be loyal to themselves because of a daughter?" ”
Ouyang Peiyue frowned, Yan Cui was holding a piece of melon seed skin, and the second monk was a little confused, "Sister, I don't understand much?" ”
Yu Zijin smiled meaningfully, "Sister-in-law, if the candidate for the latter position is not from the Qin family, and if it is not from these Western Sichuan clans who are attached to the Yingcheng Palace, then where else can it come from?" ”
Ouyang Peiyue pondered and said, "Yang family, Gongxi family!" ”
As soon as Yancui opened her eyes, she suddenly felt that the more she thought about the things of these days, the more wrong she became, Yang Li was loyal to Yingcheng Wangfu on the surface, who knew what she was thinking? Although the Gongxi family has declined without a male to inherit the foundation, its prestige still exists, and there are also a few clan daughters who have not yet left the cabinet. But there are some things that she doesn't understand the more she thinks about it, "If the people around the little emperor make up their minds not to let him make the daughter of the Qin family the queen, and they really feel that marrying the daughters of these Sichuan Xi Shi clans who are attached to the Yingcheng Palace, then why not directly decree the daughter of the Yang family or the Gongxi family to be the queen, maybe Gongxi Jianing is eager to be embarrassed with them!" ”
Yu Zijin's eyes sank, "Gongxi Jianing is already in cahoots with them!" ”
"What?" Yan Cui spit out the skin of melon seeds.
Ouyang Peiyue suddenly understood what had happened, and said, "Sister-in-law, do you remember that on the day of Mrs. Zhao's birthday, Gongxi Jianing was late?" ”
"Yes." Yan Cui blinked in confusion.
Ouyang Peiyue and Yu Zijin looked at each other and smiled, and explained: "Old Taijun Zhao is her aunt, she has loved her since she was a child, Gongxi Jianing is very respectful, and Zhao Dudu holds a lot of power, which is the object of her great efforts, how could she be late on such an important day, obviously she calculated the time." The emperor is brought up by the Empress Dowager Qin, and it is inevitable that many people will think that the emperor will be the queen of the Qin family, so they don't take the draft to heart, until that day, Zhao Laotaijun's birthday actually swarmed and wanted to send his daughter to the Yingcheng Mansion through Zijin, which seems to be reasonable, but if you think about it carefully, it is also wrong, if we boldly guess, someone deliberately reminded them of the current situation, so that they had other ideas before they condescended to seek the position of the side room of the Marquis of Haoqing, if they were lucky, they could successfully send their daughter to the Yingcheng Palace, If it doesn't work, Zijin refutes their face, and there will be rumors and rumors that will spread secretly, and even reach the ears of the Shangluo royal family, then even if their daughter enters the palace to be elected, the daughter who is disdained by the Yingcheng Palace, how can the heavenly family take care of it? ”
Ouyang Peiyue continued: "Therefore, these women of the family will do such disqualified things that day, eighty percent of them are used by others, and the purpose of that person is to quietly veto these daughters of the Western Sichuan family in the heart of the Yuan family, and at the same time, just in case it prevents King Yingcheng from taking the throne into his own hands, she appeared after those official ladies were invited by Zhao Lao Taijun to play in the garden, because she wanted to completely extract her own involvement, so that no one would think that this had anything to do with her, and after the emperor was established on that day, Regardless of whether this queen is surnamed Yang or Gongxi, everyone seems to be lucky and reasonable, and her Yang family and Gongxi family are still forced to be tied to the same line with the Yuan family, not planned by others, and she has completely achieved the goal of forming an alliance with the Yuan family, and she has no way to retreat! ”
Yancui frowned and asked, "Is this the plan of Yang Li and the two of them?" ”
Yu Zijin sneered: "Although Yang Li is ambitious, he is timid and cautious, I am afraid he does not know about this matter, and the emperor on the Yuan family's side is not mentally complete, and it is obviously not his idea." The Yuan clan is now scattered, the royal clan is at the end of the road and each only plans for themselves, and there are not a few ambitious people, I am afraid that there is a person and Gongxi Jianing have already reached a consensus, they work together to make the Yuan family and the Gongxi family and the Yang family become in-laws, forcing Yang Li to ride a tiger and stand on the same front with the Yuan family, under the banner of imperial orthodoxy with the 100,000 soldiers and horses in Yang Li's hands, to deal with the Yingcheng Mansion together! ”
Yan Cui listened to the melon seeds in her hand, and said in a daze: "Isn't this current situation to be as they wish?" ”
"Naturally, it will be as they wish!" Yu Wenzheng paced into the room and sat down at the table casually, he looked at Yu Zijin with appreciation, "Madame is so smart, it's really ashamed to teach her husband!" ”
Yu Zijin glanced at him and threw the peel in his hand to the center of the round table, "What do you mean, do you plan to ask for Yang Li's army?" ”
"I want it, and I have to be truly obedient to him." Yu Wenzheng looked at her with a smile, "In a few days, Mrs. Prison will go to Shangluo with her husband." ”
Yuzi Jinwan smiled lightly, "You want to become the prince of Xijianing and send the daughter of the Yang family to the palace as the queen?" ”
"No, the daughters of the Yang family and the Gongxi family are only concubines, and the queen wants to be surnamed Qin!"
Yu Zijin gave him an approving look after thinking deeply, "Okay! ”
Light clouds cover the moon, drifting snow echoes, a daytime time has accumulated a thick snow quilt on the ground, this day parents are together, Chunxuan is luxuriant, Yuwen Jingyu finally spent the happiest birthday in his life, when the dinner party dispersed, he was a little drunk and happily took his mother's hand and said: "The child has been thinking since he was a child, what his mother will be like, will he have similar eyebrows and eyes to me, and he has also painted a portrait of his mother according to his imagination, but it is not always satisfactory, until he saw his mother in the Dongyuan Palace when he was six years old" He smiled lowly, and continued: "Actually, I have been thinking at that time, it would be nice if Yu Niangniang was my mother. ”
Yu Zijin lowered her head and wept, letting the somewhat drunk child lean on herself, listening to him talk about those childhood events with his eyes closed and half asleep, as well as those times when she was not involved but was always missed, and when Yuwen Jingyu fell asleep, she did not touch his face and said with a tearful smile: "Good Lin'er, mother will never leave you in the future, not only that, mother knows that you have more ambitions than your father, so mother will do everything she can to fight for everything you want!" ”
