Concubine Shu said: "You still have to pay attention." ”

The emperor sighed and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

"The concubines have something to tell the emperor." Speaking of this, Concubine De laughed. "The emperor explained what the concubine asked him to do, and the concubine has already done it, now it depends on what the emperor means."

"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Is it Yin Yao's marriage?" How's it going, who's the pick? ”

Concubine De and Concubine Shu glanced at each other and said with a smile: "It's the third daughter of Dou Ge, what does the emperor think?" ”

"Dou Jin's daughter?"

The emperor looked out of the Zhu Fence and groaned.

Dou Jin is a cabinet minister, of course he is worthy of Yin Yao in terms of identity, Dou Jin is very cautious, if he can assist Yin Yao, it would be a good thing. It's that he doesn't want to contribute to Yin Yao, as long as he becomes an in-law, he has to think about some things for Yin Yao. At the very least, he wouldn't do anything like an elbow to turn out, would he?

Yin Yao became his son-in-law, so no matter what, Yin Yu also lacked the help of the Dou family, this candidate was really well chosen!

"Have you ever seen the three girls of the Dou family?" He asked.

Concubine De smiled: "On the way back from the concubine's previous trip to the temple to make incense, I happened to see it. The character and appearance are all first-class, and the Dou family has a family style, and these three girls are very gentle and generous. ”

Then, Concubine De gave Princess Qi a look, and Princess Qi was familiar with the Dou family, so she told the emperor about Dou Chan's daily behavior. The emperor had already acquiesced to Concubine De's proposal, and after listening to Princess Qi's introduction, there was no objection. Immediately asked people to invite Dou Jin.

Dou Jin was in the cabinet yamen, and when he heard that the emperor had a summons, he went to the Qianqing Palace in his proper clothes.

When I entered the hall, I saw several ladies and princesses sitting in the hall with the emperor, and there was a trace of doubt on my face. Concubine De pursed her lips and smiled: "Lord Dou, this palace wants to be a matchmaker for Miss Ling Yansan, do you say it?" ”

Dou Jin was surprised, but hurriedly arched his hand and said: "It is rare for a little girl to be a matchmaker and promise marriage, what an honor?" And there is no reason for it? I just don't know which talented man is? I don't know if the little girl can afford to climb it? ”

The emperor snorted and said: "You Dou Jin is a product of the dynasty, it can be said that the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, this big Yin and your son who can't climb high?" Tell you the truth. It is Yin Yao, the second grandson of the emperor. I want to marry Ling Yan and Yin Yao! ”

"This—" Dou Jin froze. It seems that I didn't expect this possibility at all, "How good is this, the little girl can't afford to climb high-"

"What can't you climb?" The emperor straightened his face, "I said that I can afford to climb high." It's just that you can afford to climb high! I had already issued an order for women of school age in official households above the third rank to hand over the roster to the Ministry of Rites. Why don't you hand it over? I will not hold you accountable. But now, you take this will for me! ”

The Emperor's previous decree was not followed by many people. Dou Jin was not alone, but now he was forced to the tip of his nose, and Dou Jin had to kneel down, and only said for a long time: "The minister accepts the order!" ”

Yin Yao's marriage was settled in this way, and on the night of the decree, Xie Wan learned the news from Xie Lang and his wife, who came in a hurry, and it turned out that the news was still obtained by Qi Song, who was in the Ministry of Rites, and Xie Lang rushed over with Hong Lianzhu to tell him when he heard the news.

Xie Wan didn't say anything for a long time after hearing this.

It is true that they are very relieved of Dou Jin, and from the position of Concubine De, there is indeed no better candidate than Dou Chan, but why does she think Yin Yao is so good? actually married Dou Chan!

In fact, at the beginning of this matter, Xie Wan thought that the most helpful thing for Yin Yao was to choose a family from the cabinet to marry, but after the failure of the marriage with the Du family, even the Liu family avoided it, and even selected her daughters and nieces who were not engaged to marry as soon as possible, and she thought that Yin Yao's wish could not be realized.

Even the Liu family refused, how could the Dou family, who had never been involved in the party struggle for several generations, be willing?

But she really didn't expect that the Dou family still had a Dou Chan who had not been married, and what she didn't expect was that they met Concubine De on the road so coincidentally...... Could it really be that Yin Yao was so lucky, going around and going around to the end, he actually let him pick up such a big bargain?

"I have to go to Dou Mansion to take a look."

She stood up and said.

Didn't you say that day that Dou Xun was going to go far away? Just about to go to the delivery instrument, she simply went to go in person.

Early the next morning, because Dou wanted to go to the court early, Yin Yu couldn't see him, so Xie Wan took Yin Xu to Dou's mansion.

Mrs. Dou greeted her under the second door, with a sad face. Seeing this, Xie Wan smiled and said, "Madam, what's wrong?" Sister Chan's engagement is a good thing, but it saves Mrs. a worry, why does she look like this? ”

Mrs. Dou pulled her into the house and sighed: "If it were someone else, I would have to force a smile, but in front of you, I have nothing to pretend." It's not that I take the big one, we really don't want to get into this troubled water, our family can be an elder, this is already the wealth that the Buddha asked for, where do you want to do what the royal relatives and relatives do?

"Your Majesty has done this, how can I meet and talk to you in the future?"

Xie Wan's seven tricks are exquisite, Mrs. Dou's words contain seven points of remorse, but there are also three points of temptation, the end of this sentence looks like complaining about the emperor, but from another angle, isn't it just testing the attitude of Anmu Palace?

She actually came here today to explore the Dou family's reaction to this matter, and as soon as Mrs. Dou said this, she smiled, "What's so bad about this, Sister Chan is married to the Second Highness, that is my concubine." Madame is afraid that I will bully my sister, isn't there an emperor who is the master of my sister? What are you worried about? It's just that I've suffered a loss, and I'm going to call you my mother when I turn around! ”

When Mrs. Dou heard this, she laughed and scolded: "Who told you this?" It's not serious to play with me at this time! "It's not as gloomy as before.

I didn't really get much out of this trip.

Before coming, Xie Wan was eager to find some traces of spiders and worms from the Dou family, she didn't regard Dou Jin as the kind of person who climbed the dragon and attached the phoenix, or the person who hid the ambition of the wolf, but she still felt that this matter was too sudden, too smooth, too logical, everything was too normal, wouldn't it become abnormal?

Of course, in Hong Lianzhu's opinion, she is a little bit sharp, but the affairs of the court are really not comparable to those little tricks in the back house, think about the seven ancestors who have been lurking for so many years, the entire court is at ease and does not know it, and now Mr. Seven has not been removed, and the court situation has not been decided, everything suspicious should be put in the eyes, right?

"I'm not suspicious of the Dou family, I'm suspicious of Mr. Seven." She said this to Hong Lianzhu.

Dou Chan and Yin Yao's marriage was decided, Concubine Zheng was happy, the emperor was happy, the prince was unexpected, the princess was in a complicated mood, and the entire court was stunned or stunned. And these days, Dou Jin has been hooking his head between the court and the yamen, as if this matter is his fault alone, and he is sorry for his colleagues and the people.

Although Wei Bin was also a little speechless about such a mutation, how could Dou Jin be blamed for this? From the time the emperor ordered Yin Yao to marry, he was able to avoid it, and he did not send a roster to the Ministry of Rites, doesn't this mean that he can't avoid the matter of the party struggle between the courts?

In the end, he has been an official in the same dynasty for so long, and everyone has formed a deep friendship since the trial of the Cao Yun case, Wei Bin and they saw him like this, and after they went down to the yamen, they invited him to drink in the mansion.

And persuaded: "Although we don't all want His Royal Highness to inherit the throne, we don't have any selfish intentions, we all feel that he is not suitable to sit in this position, and now that he has become your son-in-law, you don't need to have any mental baggage, just do what you have to do, twisted Nenie is not like you." In the future, we will still be ministers of the same dynasty and loyal to the country. ”

Dou Jin sighed: "How can I not know this? My ancestor was a military attaché, and only later did someone gradually follow the text, the picture is to have food in the court, to be able to live up to the style, and now this thing is done-alas. If you were me, you would understand how I feel. ”

Jin Yong smiled: "Even if we are not you, we understand your feelings." No one forced you to fight for the throne with His Royal Highness, if you don't do it, who can say that you can't do anything? ”

Dou Jin was silent, nodded and said, "That's the same." ”

This matter was very troublesome for a few days before it was gradually accepted by people, and Dou Xun, who postponed the trip because of Dou Chan's engagement, also went south with a group of three carriages on this day. Xie Wan didn't go, and sent Qian Zhuang and Pang Bai to see him off.

She stood with Yin Zhao in the palace to pick grapes under the grape trellis in the back garden.

"Ding Jun has been back for more than ten days, and the month is almost up, hasn't Mr. Seven come up yet?" Yin Zhao cut off a purple grape and looked at the bamboo basket that was held by the maid.

"Nope." Xie Wan picked up a muslin cloth and carefully wiped the hoarfrost on the grapes, "But I have always had a feeling that Mr. Seven may have already moved." I don't know who is the most suspicious, but sometimes I feel pretty accurate. I think that although he didn't come out, maybe he already came out. ”

Yin Zhao stopped, stood on the small bench and turned his head to look at her, "Came out?" ”

Xie Wan looked at her, his eyes deep and deep.

Since Yin Yao's marriage was settled, and it was so perfectly settled, Concubine Zheng's mood was not to mention how wonderful, in contrast, the crown princess was left aside by the emperor overstepping her authority, which seemed a little more gloomy.

In the next day, Concubine Zheng saw Yin Yao in Zhu Sui Palace and the thrush bird under the teasing corridor, so she annoyed him and said, "When are you still teasing birds here?" The emperor has given you such a marriage, and you don't know how to redouble your performance in the Qianqing Palace!

"You deserve to be trampled under your feet, and you don't know how to take advantage of ready-made opportunities, today is the day when the fourth master of the Dou family returns to his hometown to worship his ancestors, this old man of Dou Ge will be your father-in-law in the future, if you don't take advantage of this time to send Cheng Yi to please him, how can you get Dou Jin's favor? Without their help, how would you have taken this throne in the future? ”

Yin Yao was knocked on the head suddenly, and he was also a little annoyed, he finally got engaged, and he was an adult, but Concubine Zheng still poked him and knocked him at every turn like a child, which made him very unhappy. (To be continued.) )
