The queen looked at Mrs. Huangfu who said nothing, smiled lightly and said, "Madam, do you think it is inappropriate for the eighth day of April?"
"Huh?" Mrs. Huangfu came back to her senses, and the slightly humble expression on her face seemed to be impeccable, "It's not inappropriate, but it's really that we are in a hurry. Firstly, I am worried that I will not have time to prepare properly; secondly, I have no time to prepare for this matter.
When I go back, I have to discuss it with the prince and Quanzi, so I can't make a hasty decision."
The queen said calmly: "The emperor has already granted the marriage, and all procedures and specifications must be carried out according to etiquette."
"The emperor granted the marriage, but did not specify that it should be done as soon as possible." Mrs. Huangfu said, "My wife and the prince have only one son. This wedding may only happen once in my life. I hope it can be done to his satisfaction."
The Queen was silent for a moment: "Does the General Wang plan when to get married?"
"We haven't." Mrs. Huangfu smiled, "After the prince comes back, he needs to familiarize himself with the garrison affairs in various places in Dongyou. The general Wang is also a military general. He has been busy with military camps recently, so he hasn't had time to think about it yet."
The queen looked gloomy, was she unwilling to give her an exact time?
Thinking of the rebellious legitimate son of the General Wang, the Queen felt uncertain. It was not unusual for him to resist the decree and refuse to marry. Today, Mrs. Huangfu's attitude towards the marriage was also lukewarm, and she was obviously not enthusiastic about it.
.
The queen felt unhappy for no reason.
After all, Wan'er is also the eldest daughter of the uncle's family. She has a noble status, dignified and beautiful appearance, and outstanding talents. With her as the Queen's aunt supporting her, the Huangfu family still dares to dislike her?
"It is true that the emperor did not emphasize getting married as soon as possible when granting the marriage. However, Mr. Huangfu and Miss Situ are both young and have reached the age of marriage. It is better to get the marriage done as soon as possible." Aunt Zhao stood aside and was considerate.
He said with a smile, "Of course, you can't be too anxious. After all, marriage matters must be solemn. Choose an auspicious date carefully. The wedding process must not be simplified. Betrothal gifts and dowries must also be well prepared. You must not lose etiquette."
The queen's face brightened slightly and she nodded slowly: "We really need to choose a good day."
Mrs. Huangfu frowned and said nothing.
"When Madam goes back, she can have a good discussion with the General Wang to choose a good and auspicious day. Although she won't be able to catch up with the wedding on the eighth day of April, she can set the date first." The queen said calmly, "Wan'er is my niece, I will ask for instructions.
Your Majesty, please give her a favor and marry her as a princess as much as possible."
Princess size?
Mrs. Huangfu sneered secretly, her incompetent son had never rejected the princess, so who was Situ Wan? So what if he married according to the princess's standards? Their family did not care about this kind of glory.
"I will have a good discussion with the prince when I get back, and I will try my best to seek advice from Quanzi." Mrs. Huangfu stood up and bowed slightly, "The queen will rest earlier, I will leave."
"Stay and dine together."
"Chu Chu has just returned from the Prince's Mansion. I went back to see her." Mrs. Huangfu declined her kindness, resigned again, and then turned around and walked out of Fengyi Palace.
The queen's expression darkened, but she held the tea cup and remained silent.
Aunt Zhao stood aside and did not dare to say a word. The other palace attendants also lowered their eyebrows and said nothing.
If other people are disrespectful in front of the queen, the queen will still be angry and angry, but no matter how big of an air Mrs. Huangfu puts on, the queen can't do anything about it, even her tone of voice must be polite.
This is the confidence.
Aunt Zhao suddenly realized that whether a woman is noble or not does not depend on her external status - at least not strictly on status.
The empress of a country whose mother is in the world must be extremely polite in front of the powerful general king, and she does not even dare to be too arrogant towards his wife.
The empress and Situ Wan, the aunt-nephews, have always had a common obsession with the throne. Because the Situ family really couldn't bring up a more confident bargaining chip, they could only stabilize their position in this way.
As everyone knows, if you want to stay in the back position for a long time, in addition to your own luck, you need more confidence and skills, otherwise you will end up being scrapped sooner or later.
"The Palace of the General is prestigious and noble, and even Mrs. Huangfu is calm and dignified. She is not afraid of honor or disgrace." Aunt Zhao found a reason to comfort the queen, "If Miss Wan'er can successfully marry into the Palace of the General, there will be no one in the capital in the future.
If you dare to underestimate me, it will be better than being trapped in the palace."
With three thousand emperors and beauties, how could they know that they would be favored until the end?
The queen slowly leaned on the phoenix couch, closed her eyes and said, "Now this is the only way I can comfort myself, otherwise what else can I do?"
In her opinion, this was the second best option, and she undoubtedly wronged Situ Wan. However, the queen did not know at this time that the grievance she thought came to the General's palace was completely dismissed.
Mrs. Huangfu returned home and conveyed the matter to her husband and son at the dinner table: "The queen has begun to urge the marriage. Let us set a date for the wedding as soon as possible."
Huangfu Liyuan said nothing and seemed to have no interest in this matter.
Huangfu Lingfeng was minding his own meal and turned a deaf ear to this.
Huangfu Chuchu looked at his father, then turned to look at his eldest brother, "Situ Wan is the queen's niece. She has outstanding talents and is known as the most beautiful woman in Kyoto... Brother, this is your blessing."
"I give this blessing to you." Huangfu Lingfeng glanced at her angrily, "Can't you even stop your mouth with rice?"
"Why are you talking to your sister?" Mrs. Huangfu glared at her, "There are no rules at all."
Huangfu Chuchu chuckled.
Huangfu Lingfeng was too lazy to talk to her and said calmly: "It's not impossible for Situ Wan to marry into the general's palace."
As soon as he said this, three pairs of eyes at the table fell on his face: "Huh?"
Mrs. Huangfu frowned: "Did you take the wrong medicine?"
"No." Huangfu Lingfeng said leisurely, "As a general in the general's palace, a woman can hold up half the sky. If Situ Wan wants to marry, she can first go to the racecourse and compete with Chu Chu for a few laps. She doesn't need to win, as long as she can hold on
After three games, it will prove that she is qualified to be the daughter-in-law of the Huangfu family."
As soon as he said this, Huangfu Chuchu held up his chin and looked at him, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised: "So eldest brother thinks so highly of me."
Huangfu Lingfeng glanced at her.
"If you don't want to marry her, then refuse if you have to." The general Wang finally said, "There is no need to delay each other."
Huangfu Lingfeng shook his head, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered me to delay her for a year or two."
General Wang frowned: "Why?"
"Why else? To vent your anger on the Crown Princess." Huangfu Lingfeng sneered, "The Queen and Situ Wan have repeatedly made things difficult for the Crown Princess, do you really think she is just paper?"
After the words fell, General Wang suddenly fell silent. After a while, he asked: "What means did His Highness use to make you so obedient?"
