Although Concubine Zhuang holds the Queen Mother everywhere, she is still unwilling to be the Queen Mother's pawn.

The Queen Mother wants to hold An Shutong up, she doesn't want to be a stepping stone for others.

Mrs. Wang came quickly, and when she saw Concubine Zhuang coming forward to salute, "The courtiers pay their respects to the mother." ”

Concubine Zhuang personally helped Mrs. Wang up, "Mother, get up quickly." There's no one else here, so there's no need to be so formal, let's sit down and talk. ”

Mrs. Wang sat down according to her daughter's wishes, but she still didn't dare to be too casual, although she was still her own daughter, she was also the emperor's concubine, of course, she couldn't be disrespectful.

"Mother, you came in in so quickly, do you have something to tell me?" Concubine Zhuang looked at her mother and asked.

Rouge brought the tea, and then retreated behind Concubine Zhuang to serve.

Mrs. Wang sighed lightly, "Ji Yunting has returned to Beijing." ”

Ji Yunting?

Concubine Zhuang was stunned, "Didn't you say that it was released?" How can you still go back to Beijing for no reason? ”

"This Ji Gongzi is really a golden nobleman, he has been sick three times in just a few months after he took office, and his life was almost folded, and Zuo Xiang couldn't see it, so he personally begged the emperor to transfer people back to the capital." Although Mrs. Wang's tone was steady when she talked about this matter, she was a little disappointed when she listened carefully.

Concubine Zhuang's eyebrows also wrinkled tightly, "What disease?" ”

"Not adapted."

Concubine Zhuang: ......

Then there is no way to do it.

"You came to the palace to tell me about this, did your father have any plans?"

Mrs. Wang bowed slightly, "Mrs. Ji asked me to have tea twice, and there is a faint intention of getting married, I can't make up my mind with your father, and I want to ask you." ”

Concubine Zhuang was very surprised, "Getting married? Mrs. Ji has always been above the top, our family used to have this meaning, but people don't look down on it, but now she is willing? ”

Concubine Zhuang is still unhappy when she mentions this matter, although her father is attached to the left minister, but he has been an auxiliary minister for so many years, and he is not without further thoughts, he used to think about the marriage of the two families, and when the left minister is the master, her father can naturally sit in the position of the left minister.

But Zuo Xiang had his own thoughts, and only said that he wanted his father to wait, neither said nor said that he couldn't, just hanging people like this, but her father was nailed to Zuo Xiang's family, and he couldn't move his nest if he wanted to.

In order to get closer to the two families, her mother had tested Mrs. Ji's meaning two years earlier, and wanted the two families to get married, but Mrs. Ji treated Ji Yunting as a baby, so naturally she did not let go.

It's ridiculous to have to talk to their family about marriage now.

"Ji Yunting was first retired by the county lord of Ming'an, and now he is released and returned to Beijing, it is difficult to say how this future will be, and he may not be able to catch up with his father. Mrs. Ji is afraid that it will drag on for another two years, and Ji Yunting will not be able to talk about family affairs, so she can only look for it, so she is in a hurry. Mrs. Wang said with a sneer.

"And what do you think with your father?" Concubine Zhuang asked.

"According to my meaning, it is naturally not possible, your little sister is also the meat of my mother's heart, with Mrs. Ji's temperament, I am afraid that she will suffer if she marries." Mrs. Wang sighed, "But what your father means this marriage is not impossible, now that Ji Yunting is going downhill in the capital, we are married to him at this time, which is equivalent to sending charcoal in the snow, and the weight is naturally different." ”

The corners of Concubine Zhuang's lips pursed slightly, thinking carefully about this family business, speaking of which, Ji Yunting can also be regarded as the leader among the children of famous families in Beijing, and there were really many people who stared at him in the early years.

But so what, when you go out of Beijing to be an official, you can't adapt to the soil and water, which makes it impossible to be a feudal official in the future, and you can only climb up step by step in the capital.

With the left minister in front, the emperor will definitely not promote Ji Yunting too much, unless the left minister is a minister, then Ji Yunting will have a bright future.

There are pros and cons to this marriage, Ji Yunting can't go up by Zuo Xiang, so it is more likely that her father will go further, and the Ji family chooses to marry with their family at this time, which is undoubtedly the best choice.

"What does Yunhua mean?" Concubine Zhuang looked at her mother and asked.

"Your sister is willing." Mrs. Wang didn't know what to say when she mentioned this daughter, that Ji Yunting was talented and good-looking, and how many little girls in the capital secretly agreed.

Concubine Zhuang: ......

She shouldn't have asked.

Thinking about her sister's temperament, she also has a bit of a headache.

"I think you should take it slow first, and wait until you return to Beijing from the palace, I think Mrs. Ji can still wait for a few months." Concubine Zhuang pondered and spoke, "This time, Ji Yunting is here?" ”

Mrs. Wang nodded, "Naturally." ”

"Then you look at some sisters, don't let her have more contact with Ji Yunting." Concubine Zhuang said.

The girl's family can't lose her reserve, otherwise Mrs. Ji will only look down on her from the bottom of her heart.

Mrs. Wang nodded, "I know, don't worry, I'll watch her." It rained when I first came to the palace, which is really unfortunate, and when the rain stops, the palace has plans to hold a banquet? The Queen Mother's side will never be so silent. ”

The Queen Mother brought the girl from Gu'en Houfu again, and who could not see what she was planning in her heart.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang remembered the incident of yesterday's banquet again, and frowned slightly: "Song Zhaoyi is okay, right?" ”

Concubine Zhuang listened to her mother's questions one after another, and she didn't know which one to reply, so she said directly: "I don't know what arrangements the Queen Mother has here, but since An Shutong has been brought, the Queen Mother will definitely plan for her, and wait and see." ”

After saying this, he paused slightly, and when he mentioned Song Yunzhao's tone, it was much more subtle, "What is wrong with Song Zhaoyi having the emperor personally take care of her, the people around the Queen Mother went to visit early this morning, who knew that she didn't even see a figure, and the emperor was still guarding over there." ”

Mrs. Wang's face was really unsightly when she heard this, "How can Song Zhaoyi still dominate the emperor like this when she is pregnant, think about her actions after seeing the emperor yesterday, I am afraid that it was deliberate." Such a scheming person, you have to be very careful. ”

"I have the queen mother in the palace and Song Yunzhao below, and there are only a few things I can do. Song Yunzhao is the only favorite, and people who think that there are women in the palace may not be willing to spend so much. Concubine Zhuang looked at her mother and said.

Mrs. Wang understood what her daughter meant, "There are a lot of people who come back to the palace this time, and there are banquets outside every day, and I will let everyone know about it." ”

As long as the news of Song Zhaoyi's pregnancy and the foxy emperor is spread, everyone will be able to twist into a rope.

"Don't show your deeds, it will be difficult for your daughter to do in the palace when it reaches the emperor's ears." Concubine Zhuang immediately admonished.

Hearing her daughter say this, Mrs. Wang was also a little sad, "Of course I won't come forward, naturally someone will do it." Speaking of this, he looked at his daughter, "There is one more thing, Princess Fukang's colt died of illness. ”

Concubine Zhuang thought about it before remembering who Princess Fukang was, "If you die of illness, you will die of illness, what is there to say." ”

"When Princess Fukang was not married, her relationship with the emperor was acceptable. Now that the princess is gone, if the emperor cares about the old feelings, maybe he will announce that he will return to Beijing. Mrs. Wang said.
