Let's say that King Jin really went to find Duan Guifei. Duan Guifei was using bamboo scissors to build plum blossom branches, and when she saw King Jin coming in, she couldn't help but smile a little: "You're here." ”

"Mother." King Jin saluted respectfully, and then sat down beside Duan Guifei, but he didn't take the lead in speaking. Just looked at Duan Guifei quietly.

Duan Guifei was not surprised, she was still pruning the flower branches leisurely, and it took a long time before she smiled slightly, and her eyebrows and eyes were stretched: "Is it the prince of Zhennan who is looking for you?" ”

Rao is the king of Jin, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly: "The mother concubine knows?" "The first reaction was that she felt that Duan Guifei had planted eyeliner outside the main hall, so she saw him talking to Zhou Ruijing. But then she felt that it was impossible - Duan Guifei would never get involved in court politics, and she would not do anything that made the saint suspicious. Otherwise, after so many years, the Holy One would not have changed in the slightest. Others only said that Duan Guifei was blessed, but who knew how much effort Duan Guifei had made behind it? And how careful?

"How could I not know? From the moment I sent someone to Zhennan Wangfu to spread the word, I knew that he would definitely go to you. Duan Guifei's smile remained undiminished, and even her voice was soft, but the light in her eyes was dazzling. Such calculations, such shrewdness......

King Jin was stunned, looked at Duan Guifei thoughtfully, and came back to his senses for a long time: "That concubine doesn't really want to choose a concubine for me." ”

As a son, King Jin sometimes felt that Duan Guifei's scheming was terrifying. Since he was a child, he can also have such a mind and calmness. But he asked himself, it was not as good as one-tenth of Duan Guifei's. At least, he had never seen a time when Duan Guifei had a gaffe. Even if she is a concubine, she has no special joy or joy. Such calm and indifferent is already like a deep imprint, leaving an indelible image of King Jin.

It is precisely because he understands Duan Guifei that King Jin asks so. Perhaps, Duan Guifei's purpose is not to choose a concubine, but for today's scene.

However, Duan Guifei did not answer positively. just said with a smile: "Actually, the girl from the Zhou family is really good." Although Xingzi is softer, his character is excellent, his appearance is good, his figure is good, he is not confused, and he has a father and brother who are in charge of the army. "If you really want to choose a concubine, Zhou Yufei should naturally be at the top.

First, Xingzi is soft. In the future, I don't worry about overpowering King Jin. Although the foreign family is strong, as long as this girl has no ambition, she will be fine; If you really marry King Jin, then even if you can't talk about much affection. However, they can definitely respect each other and complement each other.

"Is the concubine tempted?" King Jin frowned slightly, a little confused about what Duan Guifei meant—if he said that he had no intention, why would he say such a thing again? If you say you have intentions, but you ...... After a pause, he continued, but he didn't hide it or feel embarrassed: "I'm afraid that the girl of the Zhou family is unwilling." Not only was the girl unwilling, but the Zhou family was also unwilling. ”

"Where am I going to force people?" Duan Guifei smiled brightly, and the smile on her face opened up like a lotus flower. For a while, there was a different flavor: "When you choose a concubine, you naturally have to choose the one you like." Tell me, do you like that girl? What do you think of her? It's not like you haven't seen that girl. ”

"The concubine knows?" King Jin was not surprised, but his expression was slightly uncomfortable and then returned to normal: "But I can't talk about meeting, I just listened to her say a few words." As for liking, it's even more untouchable. He knew what Duan Guifei meant, but since Zhou Ruijing said it so clearly. Why would he bother to be bored?

King Jin is like this, he is prevaricating. In disguise, he told Duan Guifei to stop having such an idea.

However, Duan Guifei slowly restrained her smile, cut off the last flower that was a little decadent, and then sighed, and said faintly: "This matter, your father and emperor also mean this." ”

King Jin was stunned and frowned slightly. After a moment of silence, he raised his head again: "The mother concubine must have a way." Or I'll go and tell my father in person. Just say I don't like that girl. Let my father dispel this thought. At this point, I was a little stubborn. It is said that although King Jin looks gentle and elegant, he also has a stubborn spirit in his bones.

Duan Guifei's expression remained unchanged, but she only spit out two words: "Confused." ”

King Jin's action of getting up suddenly froze, and he slowly sat down again, his expression became respectful: "Please also ask the mother concubine for guidance." ”

"You think. Why did your father have such thoughts? Duan Guifei lowered her voice and slowly analyzed, "You think it's biased against you?" You're wrong. Perhaps because of political reasons, the King of Qin fell out of favor, and your father had to lock up the King of Qin and suppress him. But in your father's heart, he has always been the only blood and blood of the former queen, which you can't compare. Moreover, in your father's heart, sons are all sons, so why should you be partial? ”

King Jin was shocked, lowered his head, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly understood the key, and asserted in a deep voice: "Father Emperor wants to balance and contain. "The concubine of King Qin is the daughter of the Zhou family. The saint was afraid that the Zhou family would waver in the future, so he asked him to marry another daughter of the Zhou family. It's just that Zhou Yufei is a descendant, and his brother and father are both leaders, so he can't be a side room. It can only be used for the main room.

"Mother thinks that's good?" King Jin frowned vigorously. After thinking about this, he only felt a chill in his heart. However, he also breathed a sigh of relief - since the saint is not eccentric, it is much easier. But speaking of which, if he really did what the Holy One had arranged, it could be regarded as taking advantage.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with that. But...... At least if the girl is willing. Duan Guifei smiled slightly, and glanced at King Jin gently: "Besides, you have to like it." ”

King Jin didn't speak, only sighed, lowered his head and said helplessly: "I have reassured the prince of Zhennan, so I don't want to marry that girl." If he said it but didn't do it, I was afraid that Zhou Ruijing would hold a grudge against him in the future, which was naturally what he didn't want to see. Even if he can't get Zhou Ruijing's allegiance, at least he can't hold a grudge.

"No matter what, you have to meet to say something like this." Duan Guifei said, her voice was already a little dignified-"Besides, your father may not let that girl marry someone else;." "She has followed the saint for so many years, so she naturally understands the mind of the saint. It is precisely because the Zhou family is important that Zhou Yufei cannot be used by him as a chip to contain the Zhou family, so naturally he will not allow others to use this chip.

King Jin sighed and fell silent.

……

Zhou Yufei stayed in the Hou Mansion. Gu Wanyin was not in a hurry to urge, seeing that the new year was coming, the Zhou family began to be busy with Zhang Luo's New Year's affairs, this year the old lady not only wanted to enter the palace, but Zhou Yuyan also wanted to enter the palace, so the second wife was almost busy with a spinning top. Only Gu Wanyin was very leisurely - she was ready early, where else did she need to be busy?

There were still two days before the palace banquet, and Danzhi couldn't help but be anxious when he saw Gu Wanyin so leisurely, and said, "What's wrong with the princess?" Why is there no hurry? It's time to send someone to pick up the third lady back. ”

Gu Wanyin shook her head, but sighed: "The third young lady is sick, how can she enter the palace?" Although it is not a serious illness, but the wind and cold are easy to infect people, if the nobles in the palace are sick, isn't it our sin? ”

When he heard this, Danzhi was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Gu Wanyin meant, and the anxiety on his face changed to a smile, and said: "Since this is the case, then I will pick up some things and ask a few girls to send them over." It's not good to let the Hou Mansion go to cāo to work. ”

"Hmm." Gu Wanyin nodded, with a smile in her warm eyes. This method was discussed with Lao Taijun and others that day, if the palace still insisted on letting Zhou Yufei enter the palace to go to the banquet, then let Zhou Yufei pretend to be sick - there are already regulations in the palace, but when the palace banquet is held, if you are sick, you must not enter the palace. If the illness passes, no one can afford the consequences.

"What if Concubine Duan doesn't believe it and sends someone over to take a look?" Danzhi still has a trace of doubts, after all, such a coincidental thing, who is it, I am afraid that he will have doubts in his heart.

Gu Wanyin smiled slightly: "You don't have to worry about this, Hongrui has a way." "They've thought about it for a long time, and they have a way to deal with it.

Time passed in a flash, and seeing that on the first day of the new year, I had just eaten at noon on this day, but a eunuch came to the palace, saying that it was the meaning of the saint - the saint was sympathetic to the old lady, thinking that the weather was cold and she had to go back and forth, so she was allowed to rest at home and not have to go to the palace banquet. After all, even the Queen Mother was sick and couldn't participate.

Naturally, it wouldn't be just the old lady who got such a will, otherwise wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the old lady? So there are several other families with old people who have received this will. Gu Wanyin didn't know if the others were happy to accept the will, but the old lady was not happy, but she could see it clearly.

Although she was not there at the time, it is not difficult to know that the old lady's face changed after hearing these words.

However, this is the meaning of the saint, and even if the old lady is unhappy, she can only accept the will. And it's grace.

It's just that in this way, the person who brought Zhou Yuyan into the palace has become her. For this, Gu Wanyin felt a little headache - you know, this sister-in-law doesn't look down on her sister-in-law at all. Moreover, how to place Zhou Yuyan at that time is also a problem. She didn't want to deal with Princess Qin at all.

But at this point, there is no other way. At that moment, Gu Wanyin had to send someone to inform Zhou Yuyan, and then she went to see the old lady. In such a thing, she always has to show up to listen to some teachings. Otherwise, I am afraid that the breath in the old lady's heart will not come out, and then there will be trouble.
