"Secluded in the mountains?" The queen was slightly surprised.

Lu Qingran smiled embarrassedly, "In Nanyuan Mountain, although the days are dull, they are also leisurely, and Qingrong misses them very much. ”

The queen's expression was still indifferent, and there was a slight fluctuation, and she raised her eyebrows, "Is this really the case?" Isn't it a pity that your character is just marrying an ordinary family? ”

Mrs. Wei nodded in agreement and agreed: "No, I think this prince and noble secretary are also worthy." ”

Qingrong is not stupid, she naturally knows what the queen means, whether she is really kind or not, she has to test her own meaning. She doesn't know the rights and wrongs in the palace, and she doesn't want to stir up, she just hopes to get as far away as possible. Qingrong bit his lip and lowered his head, "Don't hide it from Your Highness, in fact, Qingrong already has someone he admires in his heart, and he has this thought in his heart, and he has no other hopes, and he doesn't want to settle, I just hope that everything is okay with him." ”

"Oh?" The Empress and Mrs. Wei both looked at her together, "Who is he?" ”

Qingrong didn't know why he thought of Xue Shao at this time, even though he had been unhappy with him before, but now he can only think of him. "He... Helped me several times, when I returned to Yongcheng with my uncle, I unfortunately encountered bandits on the road, but fortunately he rescued him, so I survived, and Qingrong was very grateful to him. ”

The queen smiled, "I see. Can he be an official in the court? ”

This... Do you really want to say Xue Shaolai? But if you don't say it, you naturally can't get over the level in front of you, and after a few entanglements, Qingrong had to grit her teeth and say: "He, he is... Xing Guogong's nephew, Xue Shao. It's just Qingrong's mind, he... didn't know, Qingrong didn't want to be reluctant, which made him embarrassed. If it weren't for His Royal Highness's question, Qingrong would never show this intention, and I hope His Highness will see it. ”

Mrs. Wei's eyes lit up at the moment, stared at Qingrong and said with a smile: "I'll just say it, that day you were in my house, and you took the initiative to mention him several times, and asked if you still wanted to say more, it turned out that you had such a mind." Yingniang, you still don't believe it, but now that she said it herself, did you hear it? ”

She even told the queen about this! Qingrong is secretly bitter in her heart, if she is really her own sister, she really knows everything.

The queen glanced at Mrs. Wei and said with a smile: "In the days when Sister Ah didn't come, I got a lot of clothes and jewelry, but do you want Ah Song to take you to pick and choose?" ”

When Mrs. Wei heard this, she responded again and again, and said with a smile: "Okay, I was disgusted with me, then I won't hinder the two of you from talking, let Ah Song take me to take a look first." ”

After the people left, the queen smiled and said: "My sister loves to dress up, and it is not surprising that you want to come." ”

Qingrong remembered that she had seen Mrs. Wei in Xishi before because she wanted to make clothes, so she smiled and said: "Everyone has a love for beauty, and Madame is a person with a true temperament." ”

"Listen to Ah Song, did you see the concubine on the way here?"

Qingrong replied, "Yes." ”

Seeing that Qingrong didn't have a half-aggrieved and angry look, the queen looked at her and said leisurely: "I understand your thoughts, but do you know who is the one who left you in the palace?" Do you understand what that means? She has been married to Li Jin for many years, so she naturally understands what Li Jin means by opening her mouth to keep her, and she understands how to dispel Li Jin's thoughts.

Qingrong didn't understand it before, but now he understands it. The queen also looked at her and said, "I told you just now, what kind of road you want to take is your own choice." If what you just said is true, I'd like to give you a chance, just for yourself. ”

Qingrong stabilized his mind, and soon turned the corner and understood what the queen meant. Her heart was tight, she didn't want to enter the palace at all, and at this time, maybe only this queen could help her. She knelt down and said, "Qingrong doesn't dare to deceive His Highness. ”

The queen nodded and said, "You said that you are not comparable to his family background, but this is not an insurmountable difference, why should you care so much?" You yourself are also a rare talent, with him, where can't you? ”

"Your Highness's good intentions, clear and clear." Qingrong didn't understand, how it seemed that every step was beyond her expectations, but right now, she had no other way out. She bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for fulfilling your affection, and ask Your Highness to give you a clear appearance." ”

The queen looked at her with a very satisfied look, she nodded and smiled, "Get up, don't worry, since you said so, I don't want you to be happy." When I was in the East Palace in the past, I also went to Nanyuan Mountain once, and it has been several years now, I don't know what the situation is now? ”

Qingrong had no choice but to smile, and when she saw that she had changed her mind, she also responded a few words. In the end, Qingrong's tone was also relaxed, and the two chatted a few more words, and when Mrs. Wei came back, the queen briefly explained a few words, and Qingrong retreated.

The queen specially instructed the Song female official to send her back to the Xianning Palace, but the way back was different from the way she came, and Qingrong knew that the Zhengyi Palace was not very far from the Xianning Palace.

Mrs. Wei did not stay in the palace today, and left the palace after lunch, and now only the queen and the Song female official are left in the room.

"Is His Highness's move too much to exalt Lu Sanniang?" Female official Song is a little puzzled, Her Royal Highness is a middle official, why bother with such a trivial matter?

The queen took a sip of tea and said slowly: "The situation is like this, it can be a big or small matter to marry the Xue family and win the hearts of the ministers." "The people in the court or King Yong's side have the upper hand, the Xue family is the family of Jiangmen, and now the Western Expedition is also the main force, if it can be wooed, it can be used by the saints in the future.

Lady Song said again: "Does this person have to be her?" ”

"Naturally not, it's just that at the moment, her identity is the most suitable. If she is willing to enter the palace, it doesn't matter. If you don't want to enter the palace, you can fulfill her will. She knows how to advance and retreat, has insight, and so coincidentally has this relationship with the people of the Xue family, it is naturally good to have such a person. ”

The queen had heard her sister talk about her a long time ago, but she didn't expect her to return to the palace, and she was also satisfied with her behavior today. It's just that fierce horses also need to be trained, let alone such talents? She didn't want to stay, and she should let her see clearly who was in charge of this inner court, so that she could be willing.

Lady Song's wrinkled eyebrows slowly loosened, "It's just that this move will make the saint unhappy with His Highness?" ”

"This marriage was asked by Sanniang herself, I am just an adult beauty, and it is good for everyone. As for the Xue family... The saint will not not understand, and since he understands, he will not be reluctant. ”

The female official Song said in her heart, she was really worried, and said convincingly: "It is still His Highness's foresight, and Ah Song is naturally far behind." This Concubine Liu Xian looks honest on weekdays, but she didn't expect to be restless in her heart..."

Empress Wei stretched out her hand and stroked her sideburns, her face was not filled with joy and anger, and she interrupted lightly: "If she has her own plans, it's okay, it's just a small fight, why be afraid?" Don't say this again in the future, but you are also a female official, what does it look like for people to hear? ”

Female official Song responded in a low voice and said no more.

"Tomorrow, I will return to the Ningjun Mansion's wife, Lu, and I will go to the palace with me."

Qingrong didn't know why the queen wanted to help her, she accepted the queen's kindness, and she naturally had to pay it back in the future. Otherwise, she and the queen are not related, why would the queen bother for such a person? Then it can only be that she became the queen's move, as for how far this game of chess will go, how to win or lose, she currently does not know...

"Sanniang is back, I've been gone for so long, Concubine Xian is in a hurry, is it okay over there?" When Cui Wan saw Qingrong coming back, she greeted her.

Qingrong smiled: "Well, bother you, take me to see Concubine Xian first." ”

Qingrong naturally told Concubine Xian about the matter, but briefly said that the queen would give her a marriage. Although Liu Yuniang was surprised, she was very happy, "Your Highness really said so?" ”

Qingrong nodded, "How can Concubine Xian be happier than Qingrong?" ”

"Then the Xue family is also a high-ranking family, you can have this marriage, I am naturally happy for you. Your Royal Highness has always been virtuous, you are just entering the palace for the first time, and you have this grace, which is really blessed. Liu Yuniang looked worried again, "However, there is nothing for nothing in this matter, His Royal Highness has his own plans for such an arrangement." ”

It turns out that Liu Yuniang is also clear in her heart, I'm afraid she also knows the sage's thoughts, but she doesn't plan to tell herself. Qingrong looked at her, her mood was complicated for a while, and she just sighed, "Let's go and see, it's useless to think about it." ”

Qingrong came back from the Hall of Political Rites, she was a little absent-minded, and she couldn't help but sigh, there are too few pure things in this world. But she probably has no position to accuse others, obviously thinking of avoiding Xue Shao, but she got involved with him again.

Ah Zhen didn't want her to blame herself, so she was relieved: "I think that Xue Langjun is also to Sanniang... Some affectionate, maybe they will be happy in their hearts after knowing this? ”

Qingrong shook his head, "Men and women marry, it's not something you can do if you want to, he may have some affection, but marriage is another matter." ”

Song Yue was older and more stable, she also sighed and said: "This marriage to a woman is a big deal, it should be a careful calculation, but now we know how much about the Xue family?" If it's a wolf's den..."

Ah Zhen said hurriedly, squeezing her eyebrows at Song Yue: "Bah, what kind of wolf and tiger den, don't you say these unlucky bluffs." ”

Where did Song Yue want Qingrong to worry, but this was the truth, and she shook her head and said: "Loyal words, if I don't say it, isn't there no such thing?" But it's only in this back house, I'm afraid it's not easy in this palace, if Sanniang is dissatisfied in the future, maybe he can still reconcile, but if he stays in this palace, he can't see the end at a glance. ”

Qingrong also fell into deep thought when he heard this...

This queen is even more resolute than Qingrong thought, after the decision was made yesterday, after summoning Mrs. Lu of the Guining County Mansion on the second day, the news that the queen married Xue Shao, the second son of Xue Mansion, and Qingrong spread in the inner court.

Qingrong was also called to the Zhengyi Palace, the first time she saw the Lu family, Qingrong was very worried in her heart, she always felt sorry for herself, and pulled others into this troubled water, if the Lu family looked at her coldly, she also admitted it...

Lu Shi smiled and sighed: "Thank you Your Highness for your concern, it's just that my little son has a strange and wooden temperament, two years ago, I married his father for him, but he didn't allow it, so stubborn." Your Highness's move is good, but I'm afraid that my Shiro will surprise the girl. ”

Qingrong waited in the outer room, and naturally heard the words inside, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart. Before she could think about it, the queen smiled: "Since ancient times, when a man has started a family, he has started a family first and then a business. If the house is unstable, how to get out of the house? Although the lady loves her son, she must be worried about it. ”

The Lu family didn't know the meaning of the queen's words, nodded and smiled: "What Your Highness said is reasonable. ”

The queen smiled slightly: "Coincidentally, Mrs. Wei Guo told me about this secretary, Lu Sanniang, the eldest daughter of the Lu family, she is at the age of marriage, she is beautiful, she is virtuous, I think it is very good." It just so happened that she was also in the palace today, so I asked her to come and see Madame? ”
