Chapter 44: Appropriate Seniority
The Queen Mother's voice fell, and Concubine Wan was dumbfounded.
The queen asked in a trance: "What?" ”
Emperor Jian'an was quite calm, raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled: "It's strange that he would take the initiative to ask for marriage." ”
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "The mourning family is also rare, so I want to summon people into the palace to have a look." ”
At this time, Queen Wang's heart was very twisted. At the beginning, her maiden nephew Queen Minghui was interested in King Qi, and she also pushed it in, but in the end, her niece became a joke, and the family matter has not yet been decided.
Why is it Wan Guifei's maiden niece? No way! She disagrees!
The queen hesitated and said, "Is this generation inappropriate?" ”
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, and Wan Guifei and the queen are also old rivals, and as soon as she opens her mouth, she knows what she has in mind.
Talk about seniority, hum!
"If you talk about age, King Qi and King Shun King An are not a few years old, if you want to set family affairs strictly according to the seniority, none of the ladies in this Manjing meet the requirements. The queen mother also mentioned her niece in the past, why didn't she feel that the generation was inappropriate at that time? ”
The queen listened to Wan Guifei stabbing her, and snorted coldly in her heart, she knew that the previous concubine's suppleness was all pretended, but now she is not revealing her true face?
It's really a pot that can't be opened!
Seeing that the queen mother's complexion faded, she said with a stiff smile: "It's the concubine who wants to go wrong, and the King of Qi can be regarded as something we grew up watching. ”
Compared with the son-in-law and the daughter-in-law, the son is naturally more important. The queen mother felt that the queen's words were particularly unpleasant today, and she spoke again to drive people away: "There are many affairs in the palace, so the queen will deal with it." ”
Queen: "......"
The queen didn't want to go.
"The concubine still has something to say, it just so happened that His Majesty came, and the concubine also wanted to talk about King Duan's marriage."
"Your Majesty has set the marriage for the six princes, and previously said that the concubine and Wan Guifei would discuss the choice of the princess, and let the Ministry of Rites prepare the marriage of the two princes together."
Emperor Jian'an: "Oh? He asked, "The queen and the concubine have candidates?" ”
The queen gave Wan Guifei eye medicine openly, "The concubine's sister, as the princess of Duan, doesn't seem to care about this matter, and the concubine has discussed with her many times, and she said that the concubine can call the shots in this matter." ”
"The concubines are selected and selected, and there is indeed a candidate for the princess."
Concubine Wan Guifei listened to the queen's eye medicine, her face was as usual, as if it was none of her business, but when she heard the candidate for Princess Duan, she still raised her eyebrows.
"The concubine's maiden nephew Queen Minghui is known for her talents, she is docile and respectful, and she advances and retreats appropriately.
Wan Guifei has fun in her heart, and she is in and out of place? All the ones that are suitable have fallen into the pool of liquid. As for Wang Minghui's reputation, marrying Xiao Minghuan, Xiao Minghuan still doesn't let people see jokes?
But what's her business?
"What does Concubine Ai think?"
Wan Guifei replied with a smile: "The queen mother has good intentions, the daughter of the Wang family, and the concubine is not dissatisfied." ”
The queen was ready for Concubine Wan to be unhappy, but she didn't expect that she would agree. She glanced at Wan Guifei with a vigilant expression, and saw that she was drinking tea as usual, and she wondered even more.
"In this case, it will be handed over to the Ministry of Rites." Emperor Jian'an made a final decision, and it seemed that he didn't care about Xiao Minghuan's marriage, so he could do anything.
The corners of the queen's mouth were slightly upturned, and she was going to let Xiao Minghuan marry for nothing. How could her mother's family help Xiao Minghuan?
At this time, Wan Jinlan walked in the palace road with the lady in charge of the Queen Mother's palace in a regular manner. She could detect the look of the grandmother looking at her from time to time.
There was a rapid clatter of horses' hooves behind him, and Wan Jinlan looked sideways slightly in confusion, thinking to himself which one was rampant, and dared to run a horse in the palace road.
Xiao Zheng's figure on horseback disappeared in front of her like a gust of wind, and every strand of his hair was telling of eagerness.
Mama sighed and said, "It is estimated that King Guangling's illness is serious again." ”
Wan Jinlan wondered in his heart, what is the illness of King Guangling? Wasn't he good when he was in Yangzhou?
Wan Jinlan didn't ask, and Mama didn't continue.
When she arrived at Ci'an Palace, she took a look at Xiao Zheng again, his forehead was full of sweat, and his eyes were full of eagerness and worry.
Xiao Zheng entered the palace to ask for the imperial doctor, and after begging the queen mother and the emperor, he did not stop, and he was about to leave the palace with the imperial doctor.
"The courtiers see the Queen Mother, the Emperor, the Queen Mother, and the Imperial Concubine."
The eyes of several people in the hall fell on her, and Wan Jinlan could detect the scrutiny.
The Queen Mother said gently: "Get up." ”
"The Bestow"
At this time, the queen smiled and said: "King Qi sent a letter to his mother that he wanted to marry you as a princess, which is really a happy event." ”
"This palace looks, the appearance of the concubine of the long house of the Zhenguo Mansion is indeed superior, but the King of Qi has not seen a better appearance, Wanjia girl, why does the King of Qi want to marry you? Mo is not in Yangzhou, what interesting things happened between the two of you to form a fate? Hurry up and listen to it, so that the queen mother and I can also listen to it. ”
Concubine Wan's expression turned cold, and the queen's words almost didn't make it clear that her niece and King Qi had received it privately.
Wan Guifei was about to speak, but Emperor Jian'an opened his mouth with a majestic expression, "A few days ago, an official from Yangzhou handed over a fold, suing King Qi and Yangzhou Assassin Shi for robbing a stunning beauty and causing Yangzhou Assassin Shi to die, but is there such a thing?" ”
Wan Jinlan was surprised that Xiao Feng's action to ask for marriage was so fast, and she felt that things didn't seem to be good at this time.
It is rumored that the saint and the king of Qi have a deep brotherhood, and the saint trusts the king of Qi the most, why did he ask her about this at this moment today? This question asked her, is it appropriate? Should I?
If she hadn't been there that day, wouldn't she have thought much about hearing the words of the Holy One?
But in an instant, she thought so much.
Wan Jinlan hurriedly got up and knelt in the center, "Your Majesty Mingjian, on the day of the incident, the courtiers and the cousins of the Guangling Mansion and the cousins of the Yongchang Bofu were also on the lake, and the courtiers saw with their own eyes that the gang of thieves was going down to His Royal Highness the King of Qi, as for the Yangzhou Assassin History, he was in the cabin, how did he die, the courtiers did not know, the courtiers only knew that His Royal Highness the King of Qi was in danger that day, and almost killed the bandits. As for the woman playing the piano on the boat, His Royal Highness King Qi probably didn't know what she looked like. ”
Wan Jinlan's scalp was tense, and the gaze that fell on her was solemn with a hint of coldness.
The corners of the Queen Mother's mouth were tight, and the two furrows around her mouth were very deep, as if she was suppressing her anger.
"Alright, Wanjia girl get up." The Queen Mother looked sideways at the queen, "If you have nothing to do, go and copy the Buddhist scriptures, calm down, and go to dryness." ”
The queen's face was blue and red for a while, and under the pressure of the queen mother, she had to get up, "The concubine retired." ”
The queen's eye knife was launched at Wan Jinlan, and Wan Jinlan looked at his nose and nose.
"Your Majesty too, always bring the government to the harem, we women, don't get involved in those things of the previous dynasty, if you have doubts, send someone directly to Yangzhou to investigate in detail, why bother to mourn the future daughter-in-law here."
Emperor Jian'an bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "What the queen mother said is that I shouldn't be." However, I am also considering Brother Feng's future princess, if she is useless, she is not worthy of him. ”
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, still not looking very happy.
"I still have some official duties, so I won't bother the queen mother anymore."
After the emperor and empress left, Wan Jinlan breathed a sigh of relief.
