[017]Pity of the Empress Dowager

Chu Yuan did not know the impact of the marriage between Ding Beihou and the Shangguan family on the court, but she still saw relaxation and joy from the face of the Empress Dowager. As expected by Nangong Che, for the Empress Dowager without a daughter, Shangguan Yun's marriage was enough to arouse her greatest interest, with Shangguan Yun's dowry. The dowry with Nangongli had to be asked by the empress dowager in person. Even if Chu Yuan did not have the emperor's instructions, she would not let the empress do it. Chu Yuan naturally had to take care of these things for the empress dowager.

With the passage of time, the marriage between Ding Beihou and the Shangguan family has become a forgone conclusion, and this time the empress dowager still asked Nangong Che to set the wedding date of the two families on the fifth day of November. The wedding date has been set. Seeing that there is only more than a month left to prepare, Shangguan Yun has been banned at home as a new bride.

And these days, Chu Yuan has never seen Nangong Li again. Thinking that he has never taken the initiative to fight for Shangguan Yun, and thinking that he actually had a favorite person, she was a little worried.

Such worries unconsciously manifested in her usual behavior. The empress dowager looked at her and shook her head slightly. Chu Yuan did not know that the empress dowager had found her strangeness. She helped the empress dowager handle the marriage of Shangguan Yun and Nangong Li all day long, and secretly, the empress dowager had been silent. When the people came to the palace, when Chu Yuan saw the noble ladies in the capital full of the room, she secretly shouted in her heart. The whole hall of the Yongshou Palace was full of women in very beautiful clothes. Listening to the name of the palace, she had already understood the meaning of the empress dowager.

Mrs. Zhennanhou's eyebrows moved slightly, "Recently, Beijing is very lively because of the knot between Miss Shangguan and the son of Dingbei Hou. Speaking of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is the matchmaker of the two of them. Fortunately, they met the Empress Dowager, otherwise they would not have been so lucky."

Mrs. Yong'an Marquis immediately took it, "Who said no? Miss Shangguan is the niece of the Empress Dowager, and the son of Nangong has been growing up in front of the Empress Dowager. If you want to be blessed, I'm afraid this big swallow will no longer be heavier by the two of them."

Chu Yuan served the Empress Dowager's side. Her face was quiet, her lips were smiling, and she was thinly coated with a layer of powder on her face. Her eyebrows and eyes became more and more exquisite and charming. She was three thousand green silk and half silk. Her slender neck was as pure as jade, and her slender waist was unbearable to hold. Her lake-blue flower-wrapped branches and waist palace skirt made her look clear and not clear. Come on, the gentle standing appearance made the women nod secretly. Chu Yuan was swept away by all kinds of eyes and maintained an elegant posture without surprise, but secretly cried bitterly in her heart.

Mrs. Yong'an turned her eyebrows and said, "Speaking of which, the Shangguan girl and the princess are both around the empress dowager. Don't be biased. Look at the princess's appearance and serve you so wholeheartedly. Now the Shangguan girl has a good destination. I'm afraid that the empress dowager will worry about the princess."

"Don't worry, the people around the Empress Dowager, who serve with all their heart, even the maid of honor has a good way out of the palace, not to mention the princess. We just wait for the princess's good news after eating the wedding of the Shangguan girl."

I don't know which lady said that. In this way, everyone's eyes fell on Chu Yuan's body. Chu Yuan lowered her eyes and looked a little shy. The ladies didn't say anything in their eyes, but covered their mouths and smiled. The Empress Dowager was kind. Although these ladies often walked around, they were also rich and noble people in Beijing. The family is very clear about the background of these husbands. In addition, these husbands usually go to the palace on New Year's Day. The Empress Dowager also knows everyone, and the atmosphere of everyone talking and laughing is very happy. The Empress Dowager also turned her head and looked at Chu Yuan with a smile.

Although Chu Yuan did not say a few words in the whole scene, Chu Yuan understood the meaning of the Empress Dowager. Sure enough, after the scene, the Empress Dowager pulled Chu Yuan to say intimate words.

He retreated, and only the two of them were left in the bedroom. Chu Yuan pushed the empress dowager while listening to the empress dowager's voice.

"Those ladies are right. After Ayun, I will naturally think about it for you. Today, I will see that these ladies are the mistresses of powerful families in Beijing. Look at the general dress and manners of these people. They are not very human. You must also learn what you will marry in the future. You are the princess in the palace, but you are married. When they go, even if everyone respects you on the surface, there are those who secretly stings. For the elders, you have to look at other people's faces, so it's not easy to be the head of the family at all.

After a slight pause, the Empress Dowager said, "In the next few days, I will arrange more ladies to go to the palace to have fun. At that time, you will stand by and watch. First, it is to learn how to socialize with others. Second, it is also to see if there are any mother-in-law you like among these ladies. There are many school-age teenagers from powerful families in Beijing. If you are Which wife falls in love? If she gets married in the future, she can fight less and suffer less. A good mistress can take good care of an inner courtyard. Only when the inner courtyard is clear can the men in the family have good conduct. This is also what you should consider when choosing a son-in-law. Otherwise, you will marry you with a black eye. In case of a wrong marriage, it will be too late for me to regret.

Chu Yuan's forehead was already covered with a layer of sweat, but her heart was full of emotion. In this courteous dynasty, it was not easy for the Empress Dowager to make her look at her mother-in-law. Thinking of how much the Empress Dowager had since she entered the palace, her heart suddenly felt full of guilt. Her old man used such a frankness to herself. Sincerely, don't you still want to lie to her?

Chu Yuan hesitated secretly in her heart, but the Empress Dowager found that she was stunned. Fortunately, she took Chu Yuan's hand, and her voice was quite a pity. "Woman, although you hold the identity of a princess, you are not your own. This is your dead hole in the eyes of those whose eyes are higher than the top, and others respect you secretly. It's certain that you don't accept it. However, you can't come to the palace every day. If I come forward to ease you at that time, on the one hand, it will lose your face and make it difficult for you to stand in the inner court, and on the other hand, it will also make your husband and wife quarrels. You don't understand these now. When you get married in the future, you will know it, so I have to look at you more. At first, men are afraid of entering the wrong industry and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. If a woman doesn't marry well, this life is over!"

The more Chu Yuan listened, the warmer his heart became, but there were tears in his eyes. Looking at the Empress Dowager's forehead with many wrinkles, Chu Yuan finally couldn't help holding her hand, "Empress Dowager, Chu Yuan has something to tell you..."
