Chapter 161: Sacrifice

Concubine Xian has little patience for her daughter, but this kind of thing naturally can't be too rough, she still feels that she has lost some money, coughed, pursed her lips and sighed: "Xiao Qi, the concubine also knows that you feel wronged, but your brother is our dependence, if your brother really has an accident, it will not be good for you." The selection of concubines in our Great Zhou Dynasty is the same as the selection of concubines, they are all selected from the people to be trained, but are you willing to marry such a person? Rather than this, it is better to marry Dongying, who is also the wife of a daimyo."

The seventh princess looked up at her mother with teary eyes, tears flowed too much, and she felt that her eyes hurt badly at this moment.

She tugged at the corners of her mouth with some sarcasm.

It's no wonder that Concubine Xian's attitude towards her has always been strange these days, no wonder she even went to her bedroom to take a look at her, it turned out that she was still of some use.

She couldn't tell what it was like to feel in her heart.

Of course she is sad, what did she do wrong, to be abandoned by her mother without hesitation, as a stepping stone to the upper position stepped on by her brother? But to say that it is too sad, but it doesn't seem to be - Concubine Xian and King Lu can do such a thing, and she thinks it's not strange, after all, over the years, Concubine Xian has been bent on King Lu.

Although she is a princess, she has not enjoyed the love of Concubine Xian.

Over the years, she has grown up stumbling, and even her sister can step on her at any time, in the final analysis, because everyone knows that she is an unfavored princess.

The broken hair on the cheeks hung down, making the seventh princess look a little embarrassed.

Concubine Xian was still a little reluctant in her heart, and reached out to help her brush her broken hair behind her ears, but the seventh princess avoided it without hesitation.

She looked at Concubine Xian seriously: "Mother, am I your own child?" ”

Concubine Xian looked at her with a frown, a little impatient: "What else is there to fake this?" You were born with the hard work of this palace, and the jade plate is also clearly remembered, what do you want to ask? ”

"I didn't want to ask anything, I just thought it was weird. Since you were born the same, why are you so different from me and my brother? My brother has been merciful since he was married, and he was reprimanded by his father more than once for this, but even so, you never gave up on him. The seventh princess laughed self-deprecatingly: "But what about me? I know that I am careful in everything and try to do it well, but you don't care, I am in your heart, I am just a chess piece that can be thrown anywhere. ”

This was really a bit harsh, and Concubine Xian stood up suddenly.

Some people will be weak when they do something wrong, and some people will be weak when they do something wrong, so that they will be angry and ashamed.

Concubine Xian obviously belonged to the latter, and she looked at the seventh princess angrily and accused: "What do you know?!" Your brother can compete for the throne, can you?! Your brother is the one who can open the palace and become the king, can you?! Even if you are a princess, you are someone else's family when you marry, what else can you do?! If it weren't for the two of you, why would I have to be so forbearing? Over the years, haven't I been living a better life for you, pleasing the Queen Mother and flattering the Queen?! ”

She didn't want to say any more, so she stood up suddenly, frowned and scolded angrily: "It doesn't matter if you understand it, or if you don't understand it, anyway, this matter is settled!" If you don't want to, then don't recognize me as a mother again! ”

She hurriedly came out of the seventh princess's bedroom, and when she arrived at her bedroom, she couldn't help crying: "What a ruthless dead girl!" Am I for myself, or for our future? Only if her brother can stay in the capital, she can hope in the future, but she just doesn't understand! ”

Mama had no choice but to persuade her.

Concubine Xian's heart ached for a while, and she always felt that her body was very uncomfortable, and when she calmed down, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and asked someone to call Chang Gonggong, and then let Chang Gonggong go out and ask how things were going.

King Lu soon sent the news in, saying that Yuexian Jianyi had agreed to it, and he had already proposed it to the people of the Ministry of Rites, asking to marry the Seventh Princess.

In fact, even if you don't emphasize it so much, it's nothing, after all, everyone knows that the ninth princess has an arrogant temperament, and she is the daughter of Queen Shao, so it is impossible for her to kiss.

In this way, the appropriate age is actually only the seventh princess and the eighth princess.

Although the mother of the eighth princess is only a concubine, she loves her daughter like her life, and naturally she does not want her daughter to marry far away.

King Lu told his mother in the letter: "When the time comes, the mother concubine can take the opportunity to propose to her father and the emperor to marry her sister to Dongying." ”

Concubine Xian breathed a sigh of relief.

The envoys of Dongying asked to marry the princess of the dynasty before the New Year, which caused a lot of turmoil in the court.

Some ministers really disagreed, and bluntly said that there had never been a precedent for a princess and a relative since the founding of the country, and if they did so, they would be dishonoring the face of their ancestors. There are also ministers who do not agree with it, but they do not say anything that agrees.

It's more about subtle attitudes.

After all, everyone knows the situation in the imperial court now.

When the news reached Lu Mingwei's ears, the Wei family was discussing Wei Pianpian's marriage.

The last time I went to the Lu family to participate in the flower party, the Wei family didn't get nothing, so they looked at each other with the Yang family of Zhengwei Wubo Mansion.

Yang Gongzi is still in the same subject as Feng Yao, but Yang Gongzi is not as good as Feng Yao, he is only a second-class sixty-seven, but even if he is sixty-seven, this is actually a young genius.

The children of the noble family have raised too many wasted ones over the years, perhaps because of this, there are too many unsuccessful ones, and in comparison, some of them are extremely rare.

Yang Gongzi not only has a ranking in the imperial examination, but also a righteous gentleman.

That alone has outdone too many people.

Mrs. Wei fell in love with Yang Gongzi when she went back that day, but she didn't know if she could do it, so she didn't dare to tell Mrs. Tai until she had a few contacts with the Yang family, and both sides revealed this meaning, and the doctor was relieved and went back to tell Mrs. Tai.

When Mrs. Tai heard that it was the eldest lady who took a fancy to her, she was a little worried at first, but when she sent someone to find out the details of Yang Gongzi, she was suddenly pleasantly surprised, and specially asked Wei Jiachao to go to the court to inquire about the current situation of the Weiwu Mansion.

As for these trivial matters, in fact, there is a ready-made person to ask.

That is Feng Yao.

After thinking about it again, Mrs. Tai still asked someone to go to Feng's house to deliver a post, and then invited Feng Yao to come to the door as a guest and asked him about Yang Gongzi.
