On the afternoon of the afternoon when the female family of the Wu family visited Concubine De, Concubine De came to Cining Palace and asked to see Empress Dowager Hui'an.

Empress Dowager Hui'an did not use any inferior tricks of "stop and wait". When she heard that Concubine De asked for a meeting, she directly told her that she had entered the Shoukang Palace.

At this time, Empress Dowager Hui'an was playing with her little daughter in the second hall. After Concubine De gave her a regular greeting, she ordered the palace maid standing at the corner of the hall: "Give it a seat." When Concubine De sat firmly on the embroidery pier, Empress Dowager Hui'an scratched the little daughter's crunching nest with one hand, making her giggle and rolling around the couch, while casually asking about Concubine De's purpose, "What's wrong with you here at this time?"

Concubine De hated asking for help in a humble manner, but now, for the sake of her parents' home, she had to lower her proud head.

According to his mother's instructions, Concubine De slowly told Empress Dowager Hui'an: "... The Lu family's fortune is not good this year and it is not suitable to get married. My parents can understand it, so they discussed with his family that they can get a big gift first, and it is not too late to choose the wedding until next year."

"But the Lu family has been hesitating and his words are flickering, and he always refuses to give a clear statement. When the two families got married, they were both willing and happy, and they were not forced. Unexpectedly, after only a year, the Lu family wanted to change their minds." Concubine De sat on the chair with a straight posture, controlling her facial expressions and maintaining her face. "How can we make such a joke in the marriage of two surnames? Therefore, I want to ask the Empress Dowager to make the decision on my family."

It seemed that in order to express his sincerity, Concubine De suddenly stood up from the embroidery pier, and with a thud, she knelt down to Empress Dowager Hui'an.

"Concubine De, what are you doing? Don't scare the Ai family's little fan..." Empress Dowager Hui'an first comforted her curious little daughter, then waved her hands to the palace servants on both sides and ordered, "Concubine Fu De."

After Concubine De's butt was rooted in Xiudun, Empress Dowager Hui'an replied, "If this matter is really as you said, it is naturally the Lu family's fault. In this way, the Ai family will summon the Lu family's female family to the palace tomorrow and ask in person in front of you. If it is really his fault, the Ai family will naturally make the decision with the Wu family."

After Concubine De stood up and thanked her, she said a few more words and left on the grounds of "not disturbing the Queen Mother".

"Such an orderly speech is not like the style of Concubine De. She is always irritable." Madam Biyun said softly.

Empress Dowager Hui'an rubbed her little daughter's chubby cheeks and snorted: "Her mother is a steady person and can be considered polite and polite. Unfortunately, she doesn't follow her son or daughter."

Mrs. Wu's man, Emperor Xuanren's biological uncle, was secretly killed by Emperor Xuanren for the crime of treason for the rebels. If this matter was made public, the entire Wu family would probably be uprooted and poisoned the queen of the central palace and her fetus in the belly. However, the family was implicated in the family's decapitation. For the sake of his mother, Emperor Xuanren was resigned and only secretly dealt with his uncle.

As the head of the Wu family at that time, when he heard the idea of ​​the Empress Dowager's sister, Mrs. Wu's man's reaction was not to remind the Empress Dowager to act cautiously, but to cooperate with and boldly to find poison. With such a stupid and bold father, you can imagine what kind of magical existence the current brother and sister Fu Jinhou and Concubine De, who inherited their father's IQ, are.

Ji Zishan, who was rubbing her bun's face by her own mother, hummed unhappy - she said she wanted to rub her face, she was as bad as her big golden-legged brother.

That night, the big golden-legged brother Ji Ziqing appeared in the Shoukang Palace.

Facing the emperor brother who was about to rub his face again, Ji Zishan used all his limbs and tried hard to climb away from him like a little turtle. However, Ji Ziqing stretched out his arms and grabbed one of Ji Zishan's ankles and pulled her back.

Ji Ziqing pinched the young girl's fat waist and teased her with a smile: "Ghost spirit, why are you doing so far? Will your brother eat you?"

Ji Zishan covered her fat face and responded to the emperor's brother-You can't eat me, but you can rub other people's faces.

After playing with the young girl for a while, Ji Ziqing gave her to Ji Ziheng and let the two children have fun: "I also know about Fu Jinhou Mansion and Shaoqing's family in Taipu Temple. I don't know what my mother plans to do?"

"The old saying goes, it's better to demolish a temple than to destroy a marriage, not to mention that the Wu family is planning to marry the Lu family..." Empress Dowager Hui'an smiled at the little brother and sister who had a mess, "When I asked tomorrow, I told him that the two families would still marry. However, since Concubine De begged the Ai family to make the decision for the Wu family, there is no expression. Emperor, how should you compensate the Wu family?"

Ji Ziqing thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "The Lu family has caused the Wu family to suffer grievances. I should support the Wu family and punish Shaoqing of Taipu Temple to be demoted to the chief clerk of Taipu Temple."

The Shaoqing of Taipu Temple is a fourth-rank official in the capital, while the chief clerk of the Taipu Temple... is a seventh-rank official in the sesame department. In order to support the Wu family, Mr. Lu's official position was demoted to the sixth level in a row. His Majesty the Emperor's care for the Wu family in the Fujinhou Mansion... It's really a great favor.

Empress Dowager Hui'an looked at each other and said slowly: "The emperor vented his anger for the Wu family so much. I think that Fu Jinhou Mansion must be grateful to the emperor."

Ji Zishan, who was dragged and strolled by the little prince Yuanbao, suddenly heard the "compensation" strategy of Big Golden Legs, and almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

According to her speculation, the result of the pleading that the Fu Jinhou Mansion wanted was that the Lu and Wu families would complete the marriage of the two families as they had agreed before. Of course, if the Empress Dowager could comfort the Wu family, the life of the Wu family who married her should be very good. After all, the royal family said that the Wu family was wronged, and your Lu family dared to be above his superiors and not take Miss Wu seriously?

However, His Majesty the Emperor did the opposite. Haven’t your Wu family been wronged? Okay, whoever dares to make aggrieved your family will be punished for your family!

Ji Zishan was speechless. The emperor punished the Lu family so much, which seemed to have given the Wu family a lot of anger. However, in this case, Miss Wu, a daughter from the Marquis's mansion, would marry into the family of a seventh-rank official. Isn't this... funny and slapped in the face?

Moreover, the qualifications that Mr. Lu had worked hard for many years turned into a stream of water. In the future, when facing the daughter-in-law of Miss Wu Da, he would have such a complicated mentality.

Well, this is not a marriage at all, but a marriage...

Ji Zishan sucked the saliva at the corner of her mouth, and tsk, she should be a carefree melon-eating child. She didn't want to understand the world of adults at all, so she said it very complicatedly.

The next day, the wife of the Lu family came to the Cining Palace with a nervous mood to meet Empress Dowager Hui'an. At that time, Empress Dowager Hui'an was leading Ji Zishan to play in the small garden of the Cining Palace. Concubine De Wu was waiting patiently. After the palace maid reported that Mrs. Lu had arrived, Empress Dowager Hui'an asked Mama Su Rong to play with her little daughter, and she sat down with Concubine De and waited for Mrs. Lu to come to pay a visit.

After a great worship ceremony, Empress Dowager Hui'an ordered Mrs. Lu to get up, but she did not give her a seat. She said directly: "Ai family asked you, your elder brother, who had been married to the eldest girl from Fu Jinhou's family, had a small decision the year before yesterday. Is there any such thing?"

Although the question of Empress Dowager Hui'an was gentle and drizzling, Concubine De was like the fierce gaze of two sharp swords. The stabbing Mrs. Lu immediately sweated coldly, her lips trembled slightly, "Reply to the Empress Dowager, it's...this is the case."

"I heard that your family intends to retire from the marriage and regret the marriage, but is there any such thing?" Empress Dowager Hui'an asked again with a very calm tone.

Mrs. Lu shook her head and said, "No, absolutely not." This is absolutely unacceptable.

"Nonsense!" Concubine De endured for a long time, and finally couldn't help but get angry. She cursed at Mrs. Lu, who was lowering her head, "If your family doesn't mean to withdraw from the marriage, why would you refuse to go to the Marquis' Mansion to hire him?"

Facing the angry questioning of Concubine De's aura, Mrs. Lu trembled and said, "Fortune-telling... I said, my elder brother is destined to be Tai Sui this year, so it is not suitable to get married. I am really afraid that he will hurt his elder brother, so he..."

Concubine De cursed with a angrily desire. Empress Dowager Hui'an glanced over and said in a faint tone: "Since you have such a great power, why should you come and ask the Ai family to preside over justice?"

"I have passed the imperial examination. Please forgive me." Concubine De's mind was clear and hurriedly bit her lips and bowed to apologize.

Empress Dowager Hui'an was very generous and disagreed with Concubine De. She turned her eyes and looked at the stuttering Mrs. Lu, and said, "The fortune teller said that your elder brother only committed Tai Sui this year, or did he commit Tai Sui every year? There must be a time limit statement..."

Mrs. Lu's head was stuck, and she didn't know how to answer: "This, this..."

"What is this or that?" Empress Dowager Hui'an said lightly, "If you forget the fortune teller, it will be the same for the Ai family to ask in person. If your elder brother is just not lucky this year, then give the betrothal gift first and choose an auspicious day to get married next year. If your elder brother is not good every year, oh, this is a big trouble. The Ai family heard that you only have such a legitimate son. If your legitimate son cannot establish a family, then the family's burden and responsibility will fall on his younger brother in the future..."

Empress Dowager Hui'an said it in a simple and straightforward manner. Mrs. Lu understood the profound meaning immediately, so she dared not make any more quibblings. She hurriedly said: "It's only this year."

"So that's it." Empress Dowager Hui'an curled her lips, "Your family has no intention of breaking the engagement, and the eldest son is only a Tai Sui this year. Miss Wu Da is not young anymore. So, Mrs. Lu, according to your words, when is it more appropriate to hold a marriage..."

Mrs. Lu hurriedly repeated the Queen Mother's words just now: "Give a betrothal gift this year and hold a wedding next year."

After the matter was handled, Empress Dowager Hui'an immediately started to chase the person out: "Since you have a clear plan, then go and explain it clearly to Fujinhou Mansion, so that his family will not think that your family wants to quit the marriage. It is obvious that it is the in-laws. If there is any misunderstanding, just make it clear. Don't delay the marriage of the two children in vain."

Mrs. Lu could only bow and leave.
