"Empress, Princess Rui comes out of Kunning Palace." The grand palace maid guarding the corridor entered the inner hall and reported that according to previous years, Princess Rui will definitely go straight to Changchun Palace where Princess Min is.
Queen Min nodded and signaled the palace maid to prepare tea and pastries that Princess Rui liked to drink. Then she looked at her daughter who was tense and unhappy. Although her attitude was still gentle, her charming face obviously had more majesty that could not be disobeyed. "Ning
Chen'an is very talented. Your father said before when talking about the Spring Examination that if nothing unexpected happens, he will be ranked among the top three."
Queen Min gently stroked the red coral bracelet on her right wrist with graceful movements, glanced at her honored daughter and continued to speak: "The glory of the ancestors of the Ning family is all in him, I don't tell me if your father will give up for you."
Such a talented man, even Ning Chen'an himself would not be able to surrender the princess."
Once a princess is married, it is equivalent to vanishing Ning Chen'an's career, which is no less than "the hatred of killing his father and the hatred of taking his wife". Even if Ning Chen'an surrenders to the imperial power, he will definitely hate the seventh princess in his heart.
.
Not to mention that the old lady of the Ning family is still alive. Even if the princess is noble, as a mother-in-law, Mrs. Ning has the means to target the seventh princess as a mother-in-law.
"Then will she be like Ning Chen'an?" The Seventh Princess shouted in anger. Her delicate hands clenched into fists. She had previously indulged Zhe Jing to chase Ning Chen'an and ran around the capital, but now
The Seventh Princess wished she could kill Zhe Jing to vent her hatred.
Queen Min sighed, "General Zhe and General Zhe are still guarding the border now. You also know that Zhe Jing is so brainless that she is raised. Only then will your father be relieved."
Otherwise, on one hand, there will be military generals holding military power, and on the other hand, there will be civil officials with a prosperous career. The two will marry each other, let alone the emperor is worried, other princes will also try to destroy them.
But Zhe Jing is definitely a girl who "marries a wife but is not virtuous and destroys three generations". Although the Ning family is a scholarly family, the population has withered. Now Ning Chen'an is alone in supporting him. The Zhe family cannot borrow the light of the Ning family.
The family cannot help the Zhe family, so that the emperor can feel at ease.
He understood the truth, but the seventh princess was still unwilling to accept it. She was a princess and a proud daughter of heaven. Can't even decide on her own marriage? She had to marry Bai Zhaohui, the youngest son of a prefect, and her mother-in-law was still a dilapidated Zeng family.
The voice of the palace servants greeting him came from outside the palace. Even if the Seventh Princess was dissatisfied, she could not show it to the outsider Princess Rui. Although she had restrained her expression, anyone could see her unhappiness.
After a brief greeting, Queen Min warmly greeted Princess Rui to sit down, smiled at the Seventh Princess who left after saluting, "Have a son for 100 years old, and is worried for ninety-nine years old. This is a good word at all."
"The Seventh Princess has a noble status, and she will live in the Princess' Mansion forever even if she gets married. The princess is the king and the in-laws are the ministers. There is no need to worry about the empress." Princess Rui smiled and took over the conversation, with a hint of undetectable contempt in her eyes.
Fortunately, she has this beautiful face. Otherwise, with Queen Min's soft temperament, Princess Rui felt that she had been eaten alive by other concubines in the palace. Her daughter is the Seventh Princess, and Queen Min was still worried about her.
When getting married, worrying about her being bullied by her in-laws in the future is simply a joke.
Queen Min pretended not to see the disdain in Princess Rui's eyes, picked up the teacup and drank two sips of tea, and then continued chatting like a close friend, "Talk about Chengye is already in a bad state, have anyone chosen his marriage?
”
As soon as Princess Rui mentioned this topic, she remembered that she was deprived of Yin Wuyan in Huaishu Lane that day. Her originally proud expression suddenly became extremely gloomy, and her eyes were filled with anger, "Although that girl Youqi is a concubine, she is after all."
Although Wu'an Hou's only bloodline is a little worse, he is barely qualified to be a side room for Chengye."
If Marquis Wu'an had a legitimate daughter, Princess Rui felt that the other party was not qualified to marry Yin Chengye as a wife. After all, Marquis Wu'an started his career by merit, but now Marquis Wu'an has no military power in his hands, and the dignified Marquis's mansion is just an empty air.
In the eyes of Princess Rui, Yin Chengye's wife must be from a prominent family. She is not a family of men and women. She must also be a family of officials, scholars, Qiu family of Qianzhong Road, Chen family of Jiangnan Road, or Kong family of Zhongguan Road, Nanling
The Gu family of the Mansion...
Only these legitimate daughters trained by a century-old clan are qualified to marry Yin Chengye and support the Rui Palace in the future. What disappoints Princess Rui is that in recent years, except for the fifth lady of Gu's family in Nanling, who has been to the capital, but unfortunately she has not waited.
Princess Rui inquired about the situation, and Miss Gu Wu was scared to death by Yin Wuyan.
Then again, news came that the emperor intended to marry Miss Gu Wu to Qiu Huaixin, the playboy son of Qiu Zhongdao, the governor of Qiu. In the end, Miss Gu Wu lost her reputation and the marriage was left unresolved. Now several years have passed.
, I guess I've gotten married and got married long ago.
"I heard that Miss You is gentle and can do it." Queen Min nodded in agreement, as if she really didn't realize that Princess Rui's intention was not drunk. What she cared about was Wu'an Hou's connections in the army and the Marquis's mansion.
Family fortune.
To put it bluntly, this is a desperate family. Otherwise, Princess Rui, who is above the top, would marry a concubine for her beloved son? Even the girl who warms the bed would probably dislike the other party’s humble status.
"I wonder if the Empress is willing to be beautiful in adulthood?" Princess Rui smiled and explained her purpose. She originally planned to send Zhan Feiyu to the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion as a show of kindness.
Unfortunately, Zhan Fei Yuren is now banning the Dragon Guard. In addition, many families are asking about You Qi's situation before and after the New Year, and they are all interested in getting married. Although Yin Chengye has the most noble status, he is the youngest son of King Rui.
But if You Qi gets married, she will be in the side room.
But other families are different. You Qi will be the wife as soon as she enters the door, and she will be the wife of the future. Moreover, these families can be considered medium-sized families in the capital. If You Qi can choose herself, she will definitely not be Yin Chengye's side room.
The palace maid who was serving the side frowned when she heard this. Princess Rui was too difficult. Even if the Empress is a concubine, marriage is the best for two surnames. She always has to pay attention to your love and my wishes, especially the other party is Wu'an Hou Mansion.
The Empress can't force Wu'an Hou to agree to the marriage.
Queen Min was able to be honored and favored in the palace for many years, so her qi cultivation skills were naturally home. Her expression remained unchanged at all, and she seemed to be thinking about the possibility of this matter with her eyes closed.
"Wenshu, you also know that Wu'an Hou just gave him a black hair not long ago. If Wu'an Hou agreed to this marriage, it would be cheaper." Queen Min paused and showed a hint of embarrassment on her face, "If it is with her, she will be a good deal."
Mrs. Hou said that she would definitely not agree, and might even backfire.”
Marquis Wu'an is a foreign man, and Queen Min lives in the harem, so it is naturally impossible to have an interview with Marquis Wu'an. If the Min family comes forward, it will inevitably be suspected of being interfering in politics in the harem.
The most convenient thing is that Queen Min summoned the Marquis of Marquis Du, but You Qi was the concubine's daughter, and Du died of her son. She let her watch the concubine's daughter marrying her. It would be strange if Du agreed to the marriage. She probably wanted to let You
Qi Qingdeng Ancient Buddha prays for his brother You Ba Wang for the rest of his life.
Princess Rui's expression suddenly became gloomy. She put the teacup in her hand heavily on the table unhappily. Fortunately, she was also worried about Queen Min's identity, otherwise the teacup would have hit the ground.
"My parents' orders and matchmakers' words, after all, it's better to agree to this marriage." Queen Min raised her hand and asked the palace maid to retreat, and advised her warmly: "Mrs. Hou may not want the concubine's daughter to marry her, but compared to other people, she said.
Home, Chengye is the best choice. Although it is the side room and will be pressed by the main room in the future, Chengye has not married yet, and the side room has an advantage in entering the door."
Princess Rui was not happy to listen to Queen Min’s nonsense at first, but as she listened, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her mind, and then she hurriedly said goodbye and left the palace.
"Princess Rui dares to play wild in Changchun Palace, and don't look at what else she has besides the princess, the name of the princess." The palace maid tidied up the table and muttered dissatisfiedly. If the empress hadn't had a good temperament, Princess Rui would have thrown the cup
She can be cured of disrespect.
Standing by the window again, she continued to trim the plum branches. Queen Min smiled without raising her head, "She hit the wall in the Forbidden Dragon Guard, so she could only come to me for help. Unfortunately, her biological son was pushed far away.
I love a concubine's son as my eyes."
It is well known that Princess Rui has no brains. She plots for Yin Chengye's youngest son, and is not afraid that he will know that his biological mother will die at the hands of Princess Rui. Then let alone the mother is kind and filial, Yin Chengye can give up killing.
Thank God for your mother's revenge.
The great palace maid handed the tray to the little palace maid behind him, wiped his hands and then walked to the window and lowered his voice: "Empress, the princess's mind is still on the eldest son of the Ning family. I just asked Xiao Hulu to inquire about tomorrow.
Who is the head of the guard on duty?"
Inquiring about this must be to prepare for leaving the palace, but the Seventh Princess secretly left the palace either to see Ning Chen'an or to warn Bai Zhaohui not to think about Princess Shang.
With a click, the plum branches that were pierced with flower buds were cut off. Queen Min took a look, and then she cut the two plum branches that grew horizontally beside her indifferently.
The palace maid looked at the three plum branches with the most flower buds that were cut off, her eyes slightly changed, and she lowered her head and looked more respectful.
"When the imperial edict was released after the spring examination, she would not be allowed to refuse to agree." Queen Min's voice was still gentle, but the indifference in her words made people feel heartbroken. She seemed to be talking about the marriage that was not her own daughter.
Looking up at the window, the palace lanterns hanging in the corridor were swaying in the cold wind, Queen Min's mouth raised a cold and sarcastic smile. The emperor became more suspicious in recent years. The ministers of the previous dynasty were walking on thin ice, and the concubines in the harem
Isn't this the same thing? I'm afraid that if I say a wrong sentence or do something wrong, I will be thrown into the cold palace.
The Seventh Princess is at the age when she is time to get married. If the princess Min chooses for her, the family background is extraordinary, even if the emperor will not be suspicious, the princes will try to make the emperor suspicious of the marriage to win over the court officials and to compete for the second prince for the crown prince.
Make preparations.
So Queen Min had to be careful. Fortunately, she revealed her intention to make Princess Bai Zhaohui Shang a few years ago. Now as long as the marriage is completed, the emperor will feel a little guilty, Queen Min's purpose will be achieved.
On the other side, Princess Rui, who hurried out of the palace, did not return to the palace as soon as possible, but went directly to the Marquis of Wu'an. Because it was not long after the funeral of You Bawang, there was no festive atmosphere during the Chinese New Year of Wu'an, and the people even more
I dare not smile, for fear of being dragged down and hitting the board.
"What are she doing?" Du frowned, and his already thin face became even more ugly because of dislike.
But even though she didn't like the uninvited Princess Rui, the other party was a super-ranked princess after all, so Du asked the maid to serve her dressing up, and then she took the people to the main hall where the backyard was entertaining guests.
They are definitely disgusted with each other. Du and Princess Rui are too lazy to be polite.
"If it is for the marriage of the little girl You Qi, there is no need to say the princess. My son is gone. You Qi, as a concubine, will mourn your brother for three years." Du said coldly.
Even though Daqing Dynasty did not have such rules, as Mrs. Hou and You Qi's legitimate mother, she would let this little girl copy Buddhist scriptures for Ran'er in the Buddhist temple for three years!
Princess Rui sneered coldly and responded bluntly, "Madam is afraid that it is Wu'an Hou who is in charge of the Wu'an Hou's mansion, and there is an old lady on the wife. It's not the wife's turn to decide on You Qi's marriage!"
The face suddenly turned gloomy, Du's eyes were filled with anger and stared fiercely at the proud Princess Rui, "Did the princess come to the Marquis's mansion to say sarcastic words during the New Year? Or is it that Princess Rui is determined to accompany the concubine, and the princess can only
Have time to chat with Mrs. "
With a slap on the table, Princess Rui, who was ridiculed, became angry, "Du Qin, I am not here to fight you!"
The servants inside and outside the house were all silent and lowered their heads. These two were both masters with bad tempers. If they were angry, they would definitely exasperate their servants.
