In the early morning of the second day, Xiahou Shuang heard from the people around him that his grandmother called Lin to reprimand and grounded him, and came to Yanhe Hall early.

Seeing her coming, the old lady put the teacup in her hand on the table and said, "It just so happens that I have something to tell you." ”

"Grandmother is up to something. Xiahou Shuang sat down and asked.

"The housekeeper came to pay respects, and he has found out that the person behind the trouble that day was the housekeeper of your mother's Lin family's house. Yesterday I called your mother and reprimanded her, and I have grounded her. The old lady said and observed Xiahou Shuang's expression, only to see that she listened without a trace of emotion on her face.

Then he asked, "Frost girl, you tell your grandmother the truth, do you know that your mother did this?"

Xiahou Shuang nodded and said, "After the incident, I also suspected my mother, but I can't completely identify her without evidence." ”

"That's why you borrowed my hand to pull her out?" The old lady's eyes were sharp, and although her words were not dissatisfied, they were full of unhappiness.

"Please grandmother to calm her anger, I didn't mean to take advantage of grandmother, it's just that the Lin family made a mistake, I should let you know. Because I have no evidence, I can't say it rashly, and even if I do, no one will believe me. ”

"Anyway, the Lin family is also my nominal mother, and I can't go too far, so I have to ask my grandmother to help. Xiahou Shuang got up and said sincerely.

"You should tell your grandmother about this kind of thing in the future, how could I not believe you. After listening to Xiahou Shuang's explanation, the old lady did not mean to blame.

"Lin's resentment is also my negligence, I am also responsible for this matter, she can be seen to be resentful of you, this time I will lock her up for some time, let her reflect on it. ”

He also said: "But no matter how you say it, the Lin family is also your father's wife, Yan'er and Bo'er's mother, I can't do too much in front of the two children, I hope she can reform after a period of reflection." The old lady still cared a little about it.

Grandmother's maintenance of herself, Xiahou Shuang's heart warmed after hearing it: "Thank you grandmother for taking care of justice, I have no opinion on how to deal with my mother." ”

When my grandmother is old, she must have hoped for harmony in the family, but unfortunately her grandmother's kindness will be in vain.

In the previous life, the Lin family was able to kill himself and his father and brother, and in this life, he must have bad intentions. But with his own presence, the Lin family's treacherous plan will not succeed!

Xiahou Shuang deliberately changed the topic and said to the old lady: "Grandmother, it will be your birthday in a while, and my granddaughter wants to handle it in advance." ”

As soon as she heard this, the old lady also forgot about her unhappiness just now and said: "You can just look at this matter, if you can't be busy, call your second aunt and third aunt to help together." ”

Xiahou Shuang nodded and agreed with a smile.

After the child here was called back, the more he thought about it, the happier he became, and he went to his parents' courtyard and tactfully said that he wanted to get engaged as soon as possible.

Mrs. Tong didn't have an opinion, and when the Dong family saw that the master agreed to it, it was useless for him to oppose it, so he had to give up.

Without further ado, on the second day, Tong Ying called to urge the Dong family to send a matchmaker to come to the door again, and after the matchmaker left, Zhang Shangshu decided to go to the palace to face the saint.

Gonggong Hong took Zhang Shangshu to the imperial study.

Seeing Zhang Shangshu, Emperor Xuanhua asked, "Is there something wrong with Zhang Aiqing?"

Zhang Shangshu said after giving the gift: "The little girl Yanyu mistakenly hit the top at the queen's flower banquet a few days ago, and was rewarded by the grace of the saint. ”

Emperor Xuanhua thought it was interesting when he heard this, it had been a few days since this incident, why did he only think of thanksgiving today.

asked directly: "Aiqing came here today, not just for this matter. ”

Zhang Shangshu said in a panic: "A few days ago, Mrs. Tong sent a matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage, the eldest son of the Tong family and the little girl have a relationship, and the two also like each other, and the old minister wants to set this family affair for the little girl." ”

Hearing this, Emperor Xuanhua smiled and said, "You, an old horseman, came here today to find out what I mean. ”

"The old minister didn't dare, the old minister was terrified, the little girl was stubborn, fortunately His Majesty favored and rewarded the jade pendant, so the old minister ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Emperor Xuanhua interrupted: "The jade pendant rewarded that day has no other meaning, you can choose to marry." ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Shangshu felt at ease, and he had also heard about the fact that His Majesty had rewarded the crown princess with a piece of jade pendant, and he came here today to listen to His Majesty's tone.

Seeing that Emperor Xuanhua did not mean to give marriage, he was at peace in his heart, although the royal daughter-in-law was unspeakably expensive, but he also had the ability to sit firmly, and Zhang Shangshu, who had the approval of Emperor Xuanhua, retired with satisfaction.

Emperor Xuanhua came to Jingyang Palace, and Empress Chen greeted him.

Although Empress Chen is very old, the emperor does not stay in her palace on weekdays, but Empress Chen has given birth to three sons in law and is still the biological mother of the prince, and Emperor Xuanhua still respects Empress Chen.

Empress Chen waited for the emperor to sit down, poured a cup of tea and asked, "Your Majesty has time to come here today." ”

Emperor Xuanhua said about Zhang Shangshu: "It was an unintentional move to reward the jade pendant that day, but I didn't expect it to arouse his doubts, if it really delayed Miss Zhang, wouldn't it be my fault." ”

When Empress Chen heard this, she smiled and said: "Your Majesty is too worried, Your Majesty's reward Zhang Fu should be grateful to Dai De, this matter is their concern, and it has nothing to do with Your Majesty." ”

He asked tentatively: "Your Majesty rewarded Miss Zhang that day, and the concubine also had doubts in her heart, could it be that Your Majesty intended to give her to our emperor, but I didn't expect the concubine to be wrong." ”

"I just saw that Miss Zhang was ingenious, but I didn't plan to let her be our daughter-in-law. ”

He also said: "The second child has reached the age when it is time to say goodbye, but his personality is indifferent and unpredictable, and he doesn't know whose daughter he can fall into." At the mention of her son, the queen was silent for a while.

Seeing this, the emperor warned: "Queen, I know that you have a grudge against the second child because of that incident, but it has been so long, and some people have witnessed it with their own eyes It is not his fault, now that he is older, you should handle his marriage, and you must not be prejudiced against him." ”

Hearing this, Empress Chen said: "The concubines know, they are all the children of the concubines, and the palms and backs of their hands are full of meat, how can the concubines not hurt him." ”

"Well, you know it. Emperor Xuanhua nodded.

The concubine asked people to collect women of the right age, presented all the portraits, and called Rong'er to choose them together. Empress Chen said in accordance with Emperor Xuanhua's meaning.

"You can do this thing, but also listen to the second child. "Emperor Xuanhua is quite satisfied with Empress Chen's attitude.

Hearing that Emperor Xuanhua asked Xiao Xinrong to choose by herself, Empress Chen muttered in her heart, although this child was born by herself, she had never been close, and even refused indifferently.

The marriage was mentioned a few times, but he directly refused, and this time he might still have to touch the ashes, but His Majesty has spoken, why should he mention it again.
