In the Wen family, today is resting, and Wen Cheng rarely has lunch at home with his parents and siblings.

During the banquet, Lord Wen mentioned the Chongyang family banquet, "Ying'er, the queen mother plans to summon you to the palace to participate in the Chongyang family banquet, you prepare well, don't lose the face of our Wen family." ”

Wen Qiongying's face was shy and timid, and she said coquettishly, "Dad, my daughter knows, and she won't embarrass the Wen family." That daughter of the Lu family is just relying on the fact that she was born in the Fanyang Lu family, four generations and three dukes......"

Without waiting for her to continue, Wen Cheng frowned and said, "Ah Ying, don't be rude to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess. When you enter the palace, in addition to serving your aunt well, you must also respect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess. ”

It was boring, Wen Qiongying pursed her lips and said no more. Her eldest brother has been in the palace since she was a child to read to His Royal Highness the Prince, and there are very few times when she stays at home, so her relationship with her younger brothers and sisters is not close. But Wen Cheng followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to accumulate prestige day by day, and Wen Qiongying did not dare to quarrel with him.

It's just what Wen Cheng said, but Wen Qiongying didn't think so. In her heart, Queen Wen is her aunt, how can she not follow her own reason, and her brother has also served His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for so many years. Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't care about the affection between relatives, he will look at her a few more times because of his brother's loyalty over the years. Isn't that the case with the first emperor and Gu Guifei.

And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Xiao Min in their mouths had already told Queen Wen about it the day before.

"Queen Mother, how can there be a family banquet and a cousin, the female officials in the palace will naturally take care of all this properly."

Empress Wen glanced at Xiao Min obliquely, where would she not know what he was thinking. She is not the mother-in-law who can't wait to see the good relationship between her ministers and daughter-in-law, and she also has her considerations for summoning the daughter of the Wen family to the palace for a banquet at this time.

"Min'er, the crown princess doesn't know about palace affairs, isn't it good for the queen mother to let the Wen family take care of the palace affairs for her? Before you got married, the queen mother knew that the crown princess was not good at taking care of palace affairs, and the queen mother did not force her, but just found someone to share some of it for her. The queen mother knows that you love the crown princess, so you can continue to pamper the crown princess.

But you've been tired like this these days, isn't it because you don't have a good wife behind you? What's wrong with Ying'er, the queen mother does have selfish intentions in choosing her, but someone has to take care of the palace affairs for the crown princess, why don't you let Ying'er come, you can't be busy with the government affairs of the former dynasty and take care of the palace affairs for the crown princess all your life. ”

Wen Queen's words were sincere and reasonable. If ordinary people heard it, they might have half-pushed and half-agreed to let the little lady of the Wen family enter the palace.

It's a pity that what heard all this was Xiao Min, who had been in love with A Rui since he was a child, and his secret love lasted for many years and once it came true, he couldn't even stand ignoring Ah Rui, how could he accept another person to enter the palace to block Ah Rui. However, Xiao Min also knew the queen mother's care for him, so he just asked softly.

"Queen Mother, do you want your son to become the second father?"

Xiao Min's eyes were closed, and when he opened his eyes again, he looked calm, but he looked at Queen Wen with clear eyes, and continued, "Queen Mother, Erchen doesn't want to be like this. For so many years, you know how disgusted your son was with his father's actions. Erchen didn't want to be the person he hated the most. ”

Hearing this, Queen Wen also fell silent, and she naturally knew what it was like to be in it.

Xiao Min knelt in front of Queen Wen and said in a low voice, "Queen Mother, Erchen doesn't want to be like that. Erchen only likes A Rui, and since he was seven years old, he has only seen A Rui alone. Erchen tried his best to marry Ah Rui back, and he didn't want her to be separated from Erchen for this reason. ”

Queen Wen was shocked by the meaning of his words and leaned back for a moment, and her tone became hurried, "Okay, Min'er has learned to play these tricks for her daughter-in-law and mother." ”

Holding Queen Wen's hand, Xiao Min still whispered, "No, Queen Mother." Erchen didn't expect Ah Rui to marry into the East Palace from the beginning, and naturally there was no scheming with his mother for this matter. His tone was sour, and his tone was low, as if he had really lowered his head in this relationship.

"You, you evil obstacle", Queen Wen slapped him with hatred, "You are the prince of the East Palace, you are the only one in the world who chooses the princess's share, how can anyone else pick your share." ”

Xiao Min's tone was even more sour, "Queen Mother, if you compare with others, your son's self-esteem is not inferior to any Lang Jun in the world. However, the Fan Yang Lu family is not choosing between sons and daughters and other families, the Fan Yang Lu family did not plan to marry their daughter into the East Palace from the beginning", Xiao Min's tone became lower and lower, "The Fan Yang Lu family does not want to marry their daughter into the East Palace at all. ”

Today's Queen Wen finally understands the meaning of the phrase "children are debts", looking at the son who should have been complacent at the beginning of the major event just now, with a low expression, Queen Wen only felt a headache, and even regretted why she mentioned Wen Qiongying. finally sent the dog emperor away, but Empress Wen didn't want to continue to worry about her sons.

Empress Wen only felt that she had been working in the harem for the first half of her life, and her only hope was that she could live a happy life for a few days after her sons ascended the throne. Now, her son is about to ascend the throne, but she still can't seem to live happily.

Even if Queen Wen looked at her son's expression and had a toothache, she had to comfort him. Queen Wen could only keep telling herself in her heart, "It's biological, it's biological", and patiently explained him, "Min'er, A Rui has already married you, and she can't run away from the East Palace." ”

"Yes", Xiao Min's expression was even more depressed, "The previous dynasty was not without the princess and the prince and the prince, the Fan Yang Lu family helped the sons and daughters a lot in the matter of ascending the throne, if this matter is seriously raised, the sons and daughters have no choice." ”

"Fan Yang Lu's family is so decent, why let your daughter reconcile with you, it's not a good thing." Empress Wen's tone was firm, and she didn't think that Fan Yang Lu's family would do this at all.

"Why not, Queen Mother. If the cousin of the Wen family enters the palace, the Fan Yang Lu family will immediately think of whether she is the next Gu Guifei. And the cousin of the Wen family is still your niece, you must also be towards her. It would be a waste of time to marry a girl into the East Palace, so it would be better to take advantage of the fact that the foundation of the sons and daughters is still unstable, and let A Rui and divorce marry someone else. ”

Hearing this, Queen Wen not only disagreed, but even laughed, "It's true that Ah Rui is a first-class daughter of a family, and it is not wrong that there are countless sons of the family who asked to marry her back then, but she has been married to His Royal Highness the Prince, where can she marry other families so simply." It is true that there are frequent marriages between families, but how can there be such a thing. ”

However, Wang Jian of the Taiyuan royal family has not married so far, and it is said that he is waiting for A Rui. If the Fan Yang Lu family really thinks that marrying a girl into the East Palace is a wasted move, then marrying the most talented and promising son of the entire Wang family is obviously a more beneficial choice. ”

"Is that true?" Empress Wen's face was no longer as relaxed as before, and gradually became solemn. She doesn't think that Lu Bingzhen is still sought after after marriage is considered a disobedience to women's morals, and in this era, everyone will only be proud of their daughters or daughters-in-law being sought after. Only the most pedantic people will regard it as a good thing for their daughters or daughters-in-law not to see outsiders.

Although in the matter of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's accession to the throne, the Wen family also made a lot of efforts. But Empress Wen still has to admit that without the Fan Yang Lu family, the crown prince's ascension to the throne would not be so smooth. Those old fritters above the court are not easy to accept, and many of them agree with Lord Wen's choice before they are willing to get on the boat of His Royal Highness the Prince.

Suddenly felt that it would be a good choice to let Shang Gong take care of the palace affairs in the future, and Queen Wen waved her hand, "Okay, mother still doesn't know what you mean." What and what confusion is all your excuse, you just don't want anyone to go to your daughter-in-law to block it. Okay, this palace doesn't care about it. Put it in Ying'er, you remember to marry her to a good family when you look back. ”

Seeing that the queen mother was loose, Xiao Min hurriedly responded, "This is natural, Erchen must choose for his cousin." No matter which family the cousin marries, the sons always support the cousin. ”

After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince retired, Xiuxin said while serving Queen Wen, "The slave also thinks that it is a good thing to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince choose a good family for the little lady of the Wen family." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also said that no matter which family the little lady of the Wen family marries to, she will support her, which is not better than entering the palace. If the little lady of the Wen family enters the palace, does she have to let the future son of heaven let her fail everywhere? But no matter which family she marries, don't others have to offer her as a bodhisattva? ”

Wen Empress nodded her embroidered forehead, "You, you will say good things to make the palace happy." ”

Xiuxin pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Slave, this is a piece of truth." The slave maid said something arrogant, the turn of appearance and talent, which lady in the capital can compare with Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess. Of course, our little lady of the Wen family is not bad, but it is a little worse than Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess.

Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is full of eyes and there is only His Royal Highness the Crown Princess, even if the little lady of the Wen family enters the palace as she wishes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just looking at the affection of his relatives, and his heart is not in His Royal Highness the Crown Princess. Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is a justifiable queen, her appearance, talent, and affection are better than the little lady of the Wen family, how can the little lady of the Wen family fight? ”

These words can be regarded as speaking to Queen Wen's heart. She wants Wen Qiongying to enter the palace, not only for having a reliable person to take care of her son's palace affairs, but also for her niece to have a good future. But there is no name in the harem, and what kind of life does the concubine live without favor and children, Queen Wen has seen a lot even if she has not experienced it.

Thinking of such hopeless days, when she was like a withered day at a young age, Queen Wen shuddered, "Forget it, the children are all older, and the palace can't manage so many things." In the future, the palace will live in peace and mind, and let the children's affairs be their own decisions. ”
