Chapter 66
Wei Xiu sighed helplessly, "What is there to envy, the matter of marriage, the two of us can be said to have the same end." You've got your grandmother watching, and my aunt is urging you too. She said that if I don't return to Beijing, she will marry me outside the Guan. ”
"Hahaha, wouldn't it be better to marry outside the Guan, the mountains are high and far away from the imperial capital, who will be able to control you then!" Jiang Zhen's face was excited, and he couldn't understand the astringency and bitterness of others at all.
"Perhaps." Wei Xiu smiled faintly, didn't say anything, and thought about it, he understood that people with this kind of nerves as thick as chopsticks couldn't understand, "It's almost time, it's time to go and see my aunt." Do you want to go along? ”
"No, no, no."
Seeing Jiang Yuyun waving his hand again and again, Mo Shuoyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, she was still well-behaved, and she was hopelessly stupid.
Let's not say that General Wei's Mansion is a second-class member, and the worship must be in the front row. Wei Xiu is still the queen's favorite niece, with her, how can she not be noticed by others?
Mo Shuoyue originally wanted to attend the banquet in a low-key manner today, so even dressing up was the most ordinary, and she didn't dare to be brilliant at all.
Wei Xiu was not reluctant, greeted Jiang Zhen with a few words, and left first. As soon as her figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, the maidservant of the middle palace came and led her and Jiang to the Qingyu Palace.
The corridor by the pool is full of chrysanthemums of all colors, and the clear stream of the canal is full of overlapping red maple leaves, which disappear with the light waves and clouds.
Although it has just entered autumn, the white lotus in the imperial pond has not yet withered, but it still makes people feel a chill that cannot be driven away and envelops the palace.
"It's really strange, it's obviously built in the Daming Palace high in the sun, why does it seem to be more autumn than in the city?"
Mo Shuoyue listened to Jiang Yuan's muttering to herself, and replied casually: "Because this is the inner palace, it is the most noble place in the world, and it is also the most difficult place for sunlight to shine. ”
At this time, they were standing on the high platform of the Qingyu Palace, overlooking the Taiye Pool below.
Autumn maple leaves, green, ochre yellow, golden red, a piece of autumn light clusters around the pond like white duckweed, brilliant and blurry like smoke and clouds.
Such a rich autumn color, but not pleasant at all, just feel bleak.
The maidservant led the two of them into the inner sanctum, and saw heavy curtains hanging in the middle of the temple, and all the walls here were covered with light sarongs, and auspicious clouds and other auspicious patterns were embroidered with gold thread. The wind blows through the attic windows, and the light veil flutters, just like the clouds surging between the buildings.
All the maids in the palace will wear a xia veil of the same material, and stand with their backs against the cloud wall when they have nothing to do, fluttering like a celestial maiden.
Mo Shuoyue secretly marveled in her heart, and her eyes quickly swept around, and found that today may be for the occasion, each noble girl has an autumn chrysanthemum on her chest or in her hair, and there are many varieties, and there are few common ones, most of which are varieties that are difficult for ordinary florists to cultivate. She was at a loss.
Li Yunmin told her that Qiu Ju was the number. But Qiu Ju, who is full of various postures, what kind of Qiu Ju should she use?
The maid whispered beside Mo Shuoyue and reminded that the number of people was not complete, and the girl could do her own thing. He roughly signaled the direction of the Li family now, and then calmly retreated.
Mo Shuoyue unconsciously thought about whether it was because of the strict discipline in the palace, or because Li Yunmin was well-organized, why the palace people who led her the way today had a bit of the shadow of a slave.
The sharp-eyed Jiang Zhen saw the mother and daughter of the Li family early in the morning, she quickly greeted several familiar young ladies of the family one by one, and led Mo Shuoyue into the side hall.
"Fortunately, I'm alert, before they have time to react, I'll take you out of the way, amazing!"
Jiang Zhen raised his eyebrows slightly, pointed at himself with his finger, and his face was almost engraved, I am so smart and witty, quickly praise me a few words.
In order to satisfy her heart, Mo Shuoyue could only echo one sentence, "Well, it's amazing." ”
In fact, what Jiang Zhen didn't know was that the people in the inner hall were now full of people, or the daughters of important ministers in the court, or the ladies of the big families. The mother and daughter of the Li family are busy maneuvering, where can they have time to trouble her?
Just before entering the inner hall, she saw Mrs. Su from a distance with Su Yuqing, talking to Li Rong's family, and their eyes skimmed to her side from time to time, without thinking about it, she knew that Li Rong's was obviously still beating her idea.
Unexpectedly, she moved out of King Gongjing, but she still couldn't completely make them die.
Or are they actually planning the same thing?
Mo Shuoyue recalled the vague calculating expressions of Mrs. Su and Li Rong, and a thought suddenly appeared in her heart.
It is rumored in Beijing that Su Yuqing is the princess Gongjing who is appointed internally, and this matter is tacitly accepted by the court and even the palace, but Li Yunmin has always refused for various reasons.
After all, Li Yunmin is the most favored prince by the emperor, and because of his youthful disgrace, he is even more loved. The marriage, although it was the order of his parents and the words of the matchmaker, had not been decided for a long time, and the emperor was still willing to respect his wishes and did not want to completely ignore his ideas.
The Su family looks indifferent to fame and fortune on the surface, and the clouds are light and light. But after all, the Su family has a deep foundation, and from the previous dynasty to the present, it is the most prestigious among the families.
However, this is only on the surface. In fact, today's Su family, if it weren't for Su Zaifu's hard work and hard work, would have gradually declined.
After all, today's Zhonggong surname is Xiao, and the crown princess is surnamed Xie, and among the existing juniors of the Su family, they are either mediocre or not in the court. If you don't marry into the royal daughter, who should support the Su family's century-old foundation?
The children of the Gaomen clan will never escape the glory and responsibility of the family all their lives. In order to maintain the glory of the family and overwhelm the aggressiveness of the old enemy, Su Yuqing has obviously become the most important hole card of the Su family.
Since she has no hope of becoming the crown princess, she must become the most favored prince - the princess of Gongjing King Li Yunmin.
The battle for the throne has always been bloody. Before the last moment, who knows who will kill the deer in the end?
The Su family wants to marry the Li family, and has been persuading the Li family to marry their daughter into the Su Mansion, one is that they fancy Li Rong's family is the aunt of King Gongjing, no matter whether they move around or not, the blood relationship is always there. If this matter can be completed, Su Yuqing's marriage will be guaranteed first.
If Li Qingwan marries into the Su family, Li Rong's family will inevitably try his best to facilitate the marriage of Su Yuqing and King Gongjing.
After all, when the two parties get married, they are on the same boat, and they are both prosperous and loss-making.
Second, Xu was also worried that Li Qingwan would marry into the Gongjing Palace, blocking Su Yuqing's marriage, so he made the first move and blocked the Li family's way.
Who knows, the calculation was not successful, but it was reversed. Where did the Su family think that in the previous life, Li Rong's family didn't know what consensus he had reached with Su Zerin, and at the last moment, he used a trick to steal the beam and change the pillar, and married Mo Shuoyue into the Su family.
