Luo Jiuli saw her eldest brother's eyes were red and he was clenching his fists tightly. His spirit seemed to be on the verge of collapse, so he said something malicious.
"Brother, I don't know if Shen Miaoqing can forgive you, but I know that Princess Wen Ya has fallen in love with you. If you move slower and wait for Princess Wen Ya to ask for a marriage decree, even the prince will be unable to do anything about it. Return to heaven."
Before she could finish her words, Luo Yuanliang in front of her ran out of the house like a gust of wind.
Outside the house, I could hear Grandma Xu's ouch and the sound of porcelain falling to the ground and breaking.
——
At the same time, the Changchun Palace in the palace.
"What did you say? Do you like Luo Yuanliang?"
Concubine Hu had lost a lot of weight these days, and now she stared in shock at her daughter's words, with her cheekbones protruding from her face.
Princess Wen Ya, who was sitting aside, bit her lip and nodded, ignoring her daughter's shyness.
"Mother and Concubine, my daughter likes Luo Yuanliang and wants to marry Luo Yuanliang. I beg Mother and Concubine to talk to my father and ask him to grant a marriage to my daughter."
"Asshole, you are such an asshole."
Concubine Hu waved her hands.
"Then Luo Yuanliang didn't say that he was the biological brother of that little bitch Luo Jiuli, but that he was older than you. By marrying him, wouldn't you have wasted your status as a princess in vain?"
"Mother concubine."
Princess Wenya plopped down and knelt down in front of her mother-in-law.
"My daughter has never liked a man in her whole life, but Luo Yuanliang is the first one that my daughter likes. If you ask your mother to be a concubine, let her fulfill her wish."
"Royal Grandmother, please beg the Imperial Grandmother to grant Wen Ya."
Princess Wenya looked at the Queen Mother again as if she was asking for help.
From the beginning to the end, the Queen Mother's expression was calm and there was no wave on her face, as if she was listening to something that was not a big deal.
She looked at Wen Ya and her voice was a little soft.
"Does Wen Ya really like Luo Yuanliang that much?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Ya nodded hurriedly.
"Yeah, I like it. From the first time Wen Ya saw Luo Yuanliang in the palace, his shadow was all in her mind when she opened and closed her eyes. I -"
"Wen Ya, shut up."
When Concubine Hu thought that Luo Yuanliang was Luo Jiuli's biological brother, and when she thought of what Luo Jiuli had done to King Zhao and the Sima Mansion, she couldn't help but feel hatred and resentment in her heart.
The Queen Mother turned to look at Concubine Hu indifferently.
"Look at what you look like now. How are you different from the ordinary people outside the palace? There is no dignity in being a noble concubine."
"Queen Mother, I--"
The Queen Mother did not listen to her words and thought to herself:
"The Ai family feels that it is not a bad idea to grant marriage to Wen Ya and Luo Yuanliang."
"Wen Ya thanks the Imperial Grandmother, but the Imperial Grandmother loves Wen Ya."
Wen Ya knelt down and kowtowed.
"Queen Mother."
Concubine Hu looked at the Queen Mother in shock.
The Queen Mother still did not look at Concubine Hu, and reached out to touch Wen Ya's head.
"Get up and let Green Hairpin take you out to play. The Imperial Grandmother has something to say to your mother and concubine."
"yes."
Wen Ya stood up and followed Green Hairpin out of the bedroom respectfully.
When Concubine Hu saw Wen Ya leaving, she looked at the Queen Mother anxiously.
"Queen Mother, Luo Yuanliang is Luo Jiuli's brother, how can you let Wen Ya marry him?"
"It is because he is Luo Jiuli's biological brother that the Ai family agreed to this marriage."
The Queen Mother sneered and looked at Concubine Hu.
"Have you forgotten what Luo Yuanliang's status is now?"
Concubine Hu was startled.
"Commander of the Imperial Guard."
The Queen Mother nodded.
"The commander of the imperial army has always been our Hu family. Since your brother...Ke Linxuan and Lin Yan have been serving in the palace before, the emperor has promoted Luo Yuanliang. What does this mean?"
The Queen Mother stopped talking and slapped her palm heavily on the coffee table.
"If the Luo family wants to step on the Hu family and rise, they have to ask the Ai family if they agree."
"But Queen Mother, this has nothing to do with Wen Ya! Why did Queen Mother agree to Wen Ya's marriage to Luo Yuanliang?"
The Queen Mother's eyes narrowed and her tone was a bit cold.
"Have you forgotten that according to the laws of the Changning Dynasty, when a princess marries a consort, she cannot enter the court as an official, for fear that the former court and the harem will form cliques for personal gain."
When Concubine Hu heard this, her pretty face turned pale.
Although she hated the Luo family, she never thought of including her daughter's happiness. She only had Wen Ya, a daughter, and she only wanted Wen Ya to be happy and happy.
But the Queen Mother obviously didn't want to miss this great opportunity.
"Queen Mother, I think the Emperor will not marry Wen Ya to Luo Yuanliang. After all, Luo Yuanliang is just--"
"Of course the emperor will not grant marriage."
The Queen Mother interrupted her.
"But the Ai family is still the queen mother of the same country. The Ai family can't get involved in the affairs of the previous dynasty now. But for a small matter like the Ai family granting a marriage to the princess, I think the emperor will not stop it."
Concubine Hu clenched her fingers.
"Queen Mother, after all, Luo Yuanliang is the eldest son of the Duke of Guo and will inherit the title of Duke in the future. If a marriage is granted, should the Duke and his wife be summoned to the palace for discussion?"
"Discuss?"
The Queen Mother turned to look at Concubine Hu, her eyes were gloomy. Although she was not angry, there was a poisonous light in her eyes that was more terrifying than an evil spirit.
"Here, ask Li Wu to come in."
——
Guogong Mansion, Fuquyuan.
Luo Jiuli was lying on the bed he had not seen for a long time. He was so comfortable that even Xiao Mingxuan couldn't pull him up.
"What? I'm so greedy for your bed that you don't want to go back to the palace with me?"
Xiao Mingxuan sat by the bed and watched her rolling around on the bed.
"Uh-huh!"
Luo Jiuli nodded deliberately.
Xiao Mingxuan had a sullen face.
"Nanzhu."
At the door, Nan Zhu was rubbing her overstuffed belly. As soon as she heard the prince's call, she hurriedly entered the house.
"Your Majesty, please call me your subordinate."
Xiao Mingxuan's tone was light.
"Go, find someone, and move your master and bed to the Ninth Prince's Mansion."
"ah!"
"What?"
Nan Zhu was stunned for a long time.
Luo Jiuli also looked up at him in surprise.
"Nan Zhu, there's no need to look for anyone, get out quickly, get out quickly."
When Nanzhu heard this, he was eager to go out quickly and rubbed oil on his soles.
Luo Jiuli lay half on his side, supporting his chin with his hands, looking at Xiao Mingxuan with his big eyes.
"My lord, what are you doing? I didn't say I wouldn't go back to the palace with you!"
"There's none?"
Xiao Mingxuan looked at her cunning look and felt better again.
"I just think……"
Luo Jiuli frowned, thinking about how to make excuses for himself.
"How about we have dinner at home and then go back to the house? Besides, my eldest brother still doesn't believe me, and I don't know if the eldest lady of the Shen family has forgiven him."
She really likes her family members even more now.
She has a domineering and loving father, a mother who is strong towards outsiders but gentle to her family, and two brothers who have completely different personalities but both love her unconditionally. She is a dignified and elegant eldest sister who has become the mistress of the house. She likes every member of the family.
.
Not to mention that everyone is bad.
The author has something to say:
Some readers asked, is the Queen Mother stupid? She knew clearly that she could no longer compete with the emperor, why did she still go all the way to the dark side? In fact, Xiao Yao wanted to say that to be a person, you must first experience the pain of losing a son and losing a husband.
, and later forced his own brother to death, and sent away his nephew. Originally, his mother's family was a wealthy and powerful family, but the world of the Zhongming Dingshi family gradually declined overnight, and the family fortune fell into decline.
After experiencing so much, except for those with strong psychology, no one's spirit will be broken and twisted, and the Queen Mother in Xiao Yao's novel is exactly the latter.
