The next day, Mrs. Tao really invited the official media to Xihe Palace.

Although Qiu Mengmin and his wife were very unwilling to allow Qiu Lulan to climb into such a good family business, they had to exchange the Geng stickers they took back from the Deng family with the official media.

Since there are still several brothers and sisters on Jiang Yashuang who have not married, the two families can only make an appointment for marriage, and the specific marriage date cannot be discussed for the time being.

After being busy for most of the day, sending away the official media, Qiu Mengmin and Princess Yang both felt that their future was bleak: "I was not less harsh at the beginning. People, she is not the kind of person who does not hold grudges, and now that she is married into the power gate, she doesn't know how he will retaliate against us in the future? ”

"Alas!"

The couple sat opposite each other, full of endless sorrow.

However, they are not the only ones who are upset because of the fact that Qiu Yulan and Jiang Yashuang are married.

In the palace, Taishi Palace, the back of Mrs. Gu sank like water: "The Jiang family hired Qiu Jinglan, and Qiu Jinglan is equivalent to finding a backer!" It's just that until now, Qiu Jinglan's life history has not been announced, and it seems that the Jiang family is planning to use this card in the battle for the storage position! plus the reward of the Marquis of Jibei, who returned to Beijing after the autumn...... Before the prince's proposal was officially mentioned in the court, the Jiang family pinched two cards first! ”

Speaking of this, he sighed, "The people trained by Xingkang are really waste, they didn't have such a good opportunity to compete for all the merits, not to mention, they were actually dropped by someone with the poison on the blade, so that the success fell short!" If Qiu Jinglan is dead, the Zhenxi Army will have no worries, and the mourning family will be able to worry less! ”

The female officer hurriedly advised: "Don't worry, mother! His Royal Highness King Qi is mediocre and cowardly, far inferior to His Royal Highnesses King Yan and King Zhou, who are knowledgeable and courteous, intelligent and decent! The prince is to be discussed, even if the queen's group is talking nonsense with their eyes open, Xue Xiang's group is known as the 'loyal monarch', and they are impartial between you and the queen...... This doesn't even need to be compared! ”

"How can it be that simple? King Qi is the eldest grandson of the mourning family after all! Empress Dowager Gu shook her head, but her face softened a little, "However, fortunately, King Qi is indeed cowardly enough, and those courtiers who are unwilling to be the regent of the heroine will definitely not choose him." King Yan is much more generous than King Zhou...... Speaking of which, it is fortunate that she started early, otherwise it depends on the arrogance of the Jiang family today, she is going to give birth to a son-in-law, where is there a place for the mourning family in this palace! ”

The female officer smiled: "Isn't it? The queen is powerful, but you are the lord of this palace! ”

"You can't take her lightly, she has the support of the Zhenbei Army behind her!" The corners of Empress Dowager Gu's mouth hooked slightly: When she chose Jiang Tianluan as the queen, it was naturally because the lord Shaoguo was suspicious and needed Qin Guogong, the "dry city of the country", to stabilize her son's throne.

It's just that Jiang Tianluan, who has just entered the palace, is far less arrogant than now, but against the prominence of her mother's family, Empress Dowager Gu also has to take precautions! Therefore, the young Empress Jiang did not move to occupy the emperor, but the concubines opened up for the royal family one after another...... If it weren't for the Empress Dowager Ye, who had lived in the Ganli Palace and had been dormant for many years, she made a desperate move in exchange for the Jiang family's promise to protect her and the king of Qiyang County - Empress Jiang didn't even have Princess Yongfu!

Rao is like this, the queen also gave birth to Princess Yongfu and has nothing to say!

Since several years ago, Empress Jiang's focus has been on seizing power, and she obviously has no hope for her son-in-law......

"It's a shame that the mourning family was prepared, and she did it when she just entered the palace......" Empress Dowager Gu thought of the stupid queen back then, her heart was happy, and she stared for a moment, and asked, "I still haven't had a chance to talk to the queen about Changping recently?" ”

The female officer was a little helpless: "No, although the children of the Jiang family continue to commit crimes, they are all in the past, and there is nothing new." "Hesitated," it was the one that the nineteenth prince of the Jiang family made trouble at the full moon banquet in the Xihe Palace, and he could have asked him about the crime of forcibly hiring the county lord, but the Xihe Palace didn't say anything...... Now that he has set a marriage date with the Jiang family, this cannot be regarded as a handle. ”

Empress Dowager Gu frowned and said hatefully: "Qiu Mengmin, this old thief! The mourning family still kept his throne back then! ”

sighed, "We must hurry up and let Changping go down!" It's a pity that the heirs of the Han family are shallow, and Xingkang has declined for so many years, and the mourning family has given her a prescription, but there is no movement! If she can have a son, she will be the grandson of the mourning family, so why should the mourning family bother to entrap that Qingwu again......"

The female official reminded: "Niangniang, now only His Royal Highness King Qi has decided to marry among His Royal Highnesses." ”

"The concubines of King Yan and King Zhou, you have to think about it, as for the other few people who are in front of the ordinary level, just find a few people, who to marry horizontally and vertically, who to descend, and their wealth is indispensable to the royal family!" Empress Dowager Gu waved her hand, obviously not reassuring most of her grandchildren's lifelong events.

The Queen Mother is now hesitant, "The daughters of Changping and the girls of the Guangyang Palace...... How to choose? ”

Because the military representative of the Empress Dowager Party, Guo Shihan, did not have any female relatives who paid attention to it, Empress Dowager Gu, did not think of choosing from the daughter of Guo Shihan's generals, so that she could strengthen her ties with the Zhenxi Army. The problem is that Guo Shihan took the position because of his benefactor and old boss and colleagues, and now the Empress Dowager Gu wants to marry his subordinates...... Can he not think about it?

Therefore, the concubines of King Yan and King Zhou can only be selected from the daughters of court officials.

According to the distance and proximity, as well as the degree of prominence of power, the first thing the Queen Mother considered was the Tang family and the Gu family.

"Isn't it exactly two highnesses?" The female official proposed, "The concubine thinks that Miss Tang Er and Princess Shou'an are both extremely intelligent people. ”

"What's the use of having more princesses? Have you forgotten that there is only one crown prince? Empress Dowager Gu frowned and said, "The mourning family has already decided on King Yan, and King Zhou and Princess Zhou can only assist him and Princess Yan...... Xinyao and Shou'an are the most outstanding daughters of each of the two families, you said that both of them have become princesses, who wants to be lower than whom?! ”

One is the granddaughter of the Queen Mother, and her biological mother is still a princess after being cut once; The other is the niece and granddaughter of the Queen Mother, who is not a princess of the Heavenly Family...... Don't look at Tang Xinyao and Princess Shou'an in the united front when facing Jiang Qizheng and others, they may not have secretly competed in private!

The female officer knew that she had lost her words and hurriedly pleaded guilty.

Empress Dowager Gu didn't have the heart to worry about her, frowned and thought for a long time, and finally decided: "Let King Yan pick it himself, just let the mourning family see his eyesight." By the way, let's evaluate how ambitious this grandson is, and whether it is easy to control - even if it is a grandson, his biological mother is still his own niece, and the Empress Dowager Gu is not willing to take it lightly!

Otherwise, she killed Queen Jiang, but she was forced by her grandson to retire to the harem to live her old age, and even more miserably, "violently killed" in the palace...... It's also tragic!

The female official asked: "Do you want to be a concubine and pass on His Royal Highness King Yan now?" ”

"No, you don't." Empress Dowager Gu muttered, "Don't tell him yet, it's coming in May, and you have to prepare to go to Dizi Mountain to escape the summer, and then tell him - there will be more opportunities for young men and women to meet, let him take a good look and then decide." After all, he didn't have many opportunities to meet his cousins in these two families before. ”

When King Yan took a good look at his cousins, the Queen Mother could take a good look at this grandson, killing two birds with one stone.

And with such a buffer time, maybe the Queen Mother herself has set the person......

The question of the prince raised by the emperor because of his age can be regarded as a complete solution to the contradictions accumulated over the years of the dispute between the two queens - whether it is the Queen Mother's Party, the Queen's Party or the Neutral Party, they all feel that in the increasingly hot season, the undercurrent between the government and the opposition is becoming more and more turbulent.

It's just that although all parties are in full swing to prepare, they haven't made any efforts for the time being, so on the surface, May of this year is very calm - nothing particularly big happened, just according to the days of previous years, before the Beijing warmed up, the monarchs and ministers rushed to Dizi Mountain together.

For this summer vacation, Qiu Yulan and Ruan Ciyi were a little worried, mainly because they were afraid that the wound that Qiu Jinglan had only healed would crack because of the bumps on the road.

Originally, according to Qi Shuluo's diagnosis, it was not recommended that Qiu Jinglan move now, especially since Dizi Mountain was several days away from Beijing, and it would be even slower to follow the large army.

The problem is that the Queen Mother's Party is now wishing that Qiu Jinglan would die as soon as possible, and the kings and ministers had left in Beijing, which is just right for doing something big about dying afterwards and not admitting it - it is impossible to rely on "Tianya" alone to save her life.

Before, the Jiang family was in Beijing, and they could assign people to protect it, and they could continue to reinforce as soon as there was a movement - now the Jiang family wants to go to Dizi Mountain with the emperor and Fengjia, and most of the people will also be taken away, so that it can be left to Qiu Jinglan's manpower, and it is not so convenient to want reinforcements in case of attack!

So for the sake of safety, Jiang Yashuang strongly suggested that they go to Dizi Mountain together: "Brother's car can be padded with more soft things, and you can also let the carriage move slowly, anyway, the royal honor guard is slow, and you can't get up fast when you want to that day!" If you stay in Beijing, it is difficult to say the safety of the three of them, even if the elder brother is not afraid, please think about Sister Ruan and Lan Lan! ”

Qiu Jinglan nodded after pondering - with his autocracy, the matter of his nod, although Ruan Ciyi and Qiu Yulan were not at ease, they could only obey.

So the two sisters went to great lengths to pack up the carriage for this summer vacation!

On the day of departure, Jiang Yashuang and Ling Zui ran over to help, and when they saw the carriage parked in the court for Qiu Jinglan, they were both stunned: "How many mattresses are these?" Ten of a kind? Twenty of a kind? ”

"How can it be so exaggerated? Seven of a kind! Qiu Tuolan walked from the porch with clogs, and said angrily, "Twenty ...... That's all piled up to the top, can you still sit people? ”

"You know that you still have to sit down!" Ling Zui said drunkly, "Sister Lan, didn't I say - on this hot day, you pad so many things, is it soft enough, Chunjun don't want to be spoiled by the heat?" ”

If you want to say that Ling is drunk, it is also fun, after Qiu Jinglan was assassinated before, he knew that Qiu Jinglan hid his life experience from him, and said aggressively that he must explain when he turns the corner! As a result, Qiu Jinglan later recovered and talked with him alone behind closed doors, and there was less than a cup of tea...... Just open the door as if nothing had happened!

Qiu Yulan couldn't hold back her curiosity and ran to knock on the side, Ling Zui was happy at the time, touched her head in a big way, and said: "Men's friendship, what do you know about a little girl?" ”

Now the cautious-eyed Qiu Yulan just changed this sentence and returned it to him, and said with a crossed waist: "Take care of people's affairs, what do you know about a rough person?!" With a wave of his hand, the subordinate carried the steaming white Bingjian up, "I will arrange two maids to fan my brother in a while, so many people are waiting, can you still make my brother uncomfortable?!" ”

Ling Zui touched his nose in embarrassment: "Why is Sister Lan so fierce today?" There is nothing ungentle about talking to your brother Ling in the past. He squinted at Jiang Yashuang and said, "Stingy! ”

Jiang Yashuang, who was innocently lying on the gun, couldn't cry or laugh, but after thinking about it, he simply acquiesced: "I only call Lan Lan, what are you calling Sister Lan?" Forget it about shouting Sister Qiu in the future, and Brother Ling, I don't think it's very appropriate to call him Brother Ling, so Lan Lan can call him Brother Shi in the future! ”

"Believe it or not, I'm going to sue you in front of Chunjun?!" Ling drunk immediately intimidated!

"You dare!!" Jiang Yashuang didn't say anything, Qiu Yulan shouted first, "You go and complain, my brother will also discipline me, if you dare to go, I'm not done with you!" ”

Jiang Yashuang was suddenly full of sweetness, and looked at Ling Zui demonstratively: "Lan Lan said that you are not allowed to go, you dare to go, don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”

"Is a girl's elbow turned outward?" Ling was drunk and complained, turned around melancholy, and asked Dong Ran, who was standing not far away, "But that's not right, listen to Chunjun, this child has always listened to her brother, isn't I also her brother?" Is it because I'm not fierce enough? ”

Dong Ran tried hard to hold back his laughter and whispered: "This is because Childe will never admit that the county lord will not listen to him......"
