Zidai Xing

Chapter 25 Wu Ying's intention

After a while, Mrs. Wu Yingjun, who changed into a honey-colored dress, came in, but she did not take the Su sisters behind her. The Empress Dowager avoided her gifts, asked her to sit down and said with a smile, "Sister Wen and I are saying that Jiayi is a good child. Why did my sister come here alone? Sister Wen wants to see more of her future daughter!"

At this moment, the waiters around did not retreat. This is the formal settlement. Mrs. Wu Yingjun smiled: "She was absent-minded at the banquet just now and didn't eat a few bites, but now she is hungry and is eating cakes to satisfy her hunger."

"How does this work?" Princess Wen immediately said, "Today, because it's a full moon banquet, the banquet can't help but be noisy, and it's common that you can't eat it for a while, but now that you feel hungry, how can you fill it with cakes? It's not that there is no small kitchen in this Ganquan Palace - the Empress Dowager, if the fire breaks in the small kitchen of the Yi Hall, I will let someone do it from the Le Nian Hall!"

Ask Su Jiayi, the wife of Wuying County, about her favorite dishes, and the Empress Dowager Gao smiled and said, "Sister, look, the child's wife hasn't passed the door yet, so the mother-in-law has hurt first."

Mrs. Wuyingjun smiled decently: "The imperial concubine likes Jiayi. This is Jiayi's blessing. I have long heard that the imperial concubine is virtuous and gentle. It's really my heart that Jiayi can enjoy each other with King Gaoyang."

Empress Dowager Gao said, "Jiayi won't come now. There is a good thing she can't get." Looking not far away, Mrs. Wuyingjun recognized that it was the red brocade box that Su Zizhen took from the Lenian Hall and said, "But the one Zizhen took?"

"It's that box, but it's not a gift for Huilang, but specially prepared by Sister Wen for her daughter-in-law, Princess Gaoyang." Empress Dowager Gao said with a straight face.

When Mrs. Wu Yingjun heard this, she stopped asking and said with a smile, "I'm too indulgent of her. I'm going to call her over."

Because Princess Wen left her two daughters alone, she knew that there must be something to avoid talking to the Empress Dowager Su's sisters. Seeing that she had not spoken so far, she guessed that most of them wanted to avoid herself, she got up and said, "No, she is hungry now. The Empress Dowager's usual food is light, and the young girl's family may not be If you can get used to it, it's better to come to my place. Because Silang often comes here, my cook has prepared more dishes that can make a little heavier.

The Empress Dowager Gao also guessed that Mrs. Wuyingjun had something to say to herself. She also had something to tell Mrs. Wuyingjun. At present, she followed Mrs. Wen's words and said to Mrs. Wuyingjun, "You leave it to Sister Wen. She is still praising Jiayi. Unfortunately, there are many people who don't have time to say a few more words today. Now she It's my mind to be closer to the future wife. Let's not be that villain.

So Princess Wen took the red box and went out with a smile. The Empress Dowager Gao sent away the others, including Song. Only the two sisters spoke. Mrs. Wu Yingjun spoke directly because it was inconvenient to say what she wanted to say and said, "What is in that box?"

"In terms of preciousness, it is not worth much. It is a jasper hairpin." Empress Dowager Gao said, "but she was taken down by her wet nurse when she was pregnant. The relics of her mother's concubine have been specially preserved and passed on to the children."

She asked her sister with a smile, "How about Silang? My sister just saw it, didn't she? He is a child who is polite and gentle. Princess Wen has always taught him to be strict. Otherwise, how could I ask you to come to Yedu on a special time?

Mrs. Wuying County nodded slightly: "King Gaoyang is really good."

The Empress Dowager Gao was gratified and said, "That's just right. Later, I asked someone to draw up a decree and send it. The bride price is ready to go. The royal palace was also built last year. Now there are only a few places left that have not been done. It also depends on the future princess's intention. Later, I will talk to Jia Yi and see what regulations she has. "

"Now that things are going to be settled, these are not in a hurry." Mrs. Wuying found an entry point and hurriedly said, "I'm more worried about another thing."

The Empress Dowager Gao looked at her inquiringly.

Mrs Wuyingjun said, "You see, Jiayi is my young daughter, and Ziqi is the eldest daughter. Originally, we agreed to learn from the lessons of the eleventh mother and ask the children to meet each other first. If we agree, we will give them marriage, so as not to have a pair of resentment. I originally thought that Zizhen and Jiayi are comparable in terms of appearance. In terms of talent and learning, they are all It is full of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, when it comes to sex. Zi, both of them are lively, and the king of Gaoyang may take a fancy to his sister..."

"This marriage is doomed. How can we calculate it?" When the Empress Dowager heard this, she laughed and said, "What's more, Jiayi is also her sister's own child. I just saw that Ziyu took the jasper hairpin and gave it to Princess Wen, and there was nothing unpleasant to look at her face..." She pondered slightly and tentatively said tentatively, "I don't look like Zihu doesn't care about Silang. Could it be that you were in private just now. But what did you say?"

"Why did Ziqi argue with his sister?" Mrs. Wuyingjun immediately said, "And it's not that King Gaoyang is not good, but she thinks that King Gaoyang is too elegant. Everyone has his own eyes, but it is not a good or bad that can be included."

The Empress Dowager Gao was relieved. Because Su Zizhen and Su Jiayi are similar in age, as Mrs. Wuying County said, the two sisters are comparable in all aspects, but the King Gaoyang has only one. Now he is the only one who has no big marriage in the royal family. When he really quarrels, the general biological flesh and blood is no one, but I have a headache.

She smiled and said, "In that case, what else is your sister worried about?"

"I said that Ziyu is the eldest daughter." Mrs. Wuyingjun said with a serious face, "This sister hasn't come out of the cabinet, but her sister has married first. After all, it's not good. She went back and said what's wrong with Ziyu. Now her sister has married, and she hasn't come out of the cabinet yet!"

The Empress Dowager Gao smiled and said, "Who doesn't know the name of your eldest daughter of the Gao family? How can there be anything wrong with your eldest daughter? However, what my sister said is also reasonable. Although Ziyu and Jiayi are only one year apart, but now that Jiayi has settled down, Zixuan still needs to find a good marriage.

With that, he asked Mrs. Wu Yingjun, "What's in my sister's mind?"

"You know that you married far away from Yingzhou, and there are several counties near there, and you can no longer find a more prominent family than the Su family." Mrs. Wuying County sighed, "Otherwise, how could I keep my husband until I'm 16 years old and haven't been betrothed?" To be honest, even if there is no matter of King Gaoyang's selection of concubines this time, if you don't have anyone to tell me, I will try to go back to Yedu to find a good family for them.

Empress Dowager Gao frowned and said, "Although you were not in Yedu at that time, I heard my sister-in-law that I wrote to tell you about the previous Jiang family?"

"I don't know what Jiang was born like, but today the princess Xiping is her daughter, and I was pointed at by the young man. The princess's eyebrows are not very similar to your majesty. I think it was passed on to the Jiang family, right?" Mrs. Wuying County hummed, "That's all. I think it's far worse than Ziqi!" Here are our two daughters of the Gao family. To be honest, the four mothers and the eight daughters are not bad. They are all talented and beautiful girls, but in terms of beauty alone, they are far worse than my two daughters. When your majesty was preparing for the wedding, Ziqi and Jiayi were still young, and I didn't think much about it, but now the Gao family If there is no suitable girl, Du Ziyu is also the granddaughter of the Gao family! This palace is lively now, but it is still Zuo Zhaoyi in charge of things. To be honest, no matter how good you treat Youyi, she is also surnamed Qu!"

"Didn't Hui Lang keep it by my side?" Empress Dowager Gao said, "It's just a princess for her. After all, according to the emperor's will, she was to be the queen. Because Sanlang's opposition, this matter has never been successful. In this palace, she really suffered a lot from the bitch who was born in the humble palace. Sanlang never went to her. For so many years, she has also It's hard enough. After Jiang left, she wanted to raise Xiping, but He Mu took it away with his favor and took the opportunity to advance..."

Mrs. Wuying is patient. When Zi heard this, he explained, "Why did I say that I shouldn't raise Princess Changkang to you? I mean, since she couldn't live in the Guipo Palace in those years, whether she was blocked by the favorite concubine or Her Majesty herself meant that she was not blessed enough!"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Wuyingjun lowered her voice and said, "At the beginning, when the family betrothed you to the former emperor, it was just a princess. Who would have thought that there would be a queen, and now she is still an empress dowager? It can be seen that it's all fate!"

When the Empress Dowager Gao saw her talking for Su Ziyu, she frowned and said, "The position of queen of the young man was determined by the previous emperor. She..."

"That's true, but you should also think about it. Now that our Gao family has you, the empress dowager, are still ranked after the Qu family. If the Qu family really has a queen, not to mention our Gao family, I'm afraid even the royal family will look sideways at it!" Mrs. Wuying County snorted, "It can be seen that Your Majesty is only willing to give her the position of Zuo Zhaoyi, which may not be without reason!"

"Hmm?" The Empress Dowager Gao raised her eyebrows and then said, "Don't talk about Xiaoqi, just talk about Ziqi. You said that everything is good. Why do I think she is not good?"

Mrs. Wu Yingjun took the opportunity to say, "Since everything is good, do you think it's qualified to be your serious daughter-in-law with her background?"

Empress Dowager Gao sighed: "If I can make the decision, as you said, there is no suitable girl in the Gao family now, that is, you are my direct sister and your daughter, how can I not be biased? It's just... Alas, let me tell you the truth, where is this palace a good place to stay? At the beginning, why didn't a girl in the Gao family enter the palace? This time, there is a reason why she entered the palace, not to mention that she is not from our big house!"

The Empress Dowager squeezed her lips and reminded, "At that time, Mrs. Rongchang County, her sister-in-law, brought Si Niang into the palace. Unexpectedly, Sanlang's disappointingly took a fancy to her maid Jiang Zhenzhu, but she didn't take a fancy to Si Niang! This incident made my sister-in-law so angry that she vowed never to let any girl in the big room enter the palace! I finally sealed my mouth and asked Si Niang to marry the Ouyang family! That's my own son. How can I say that he is not good? It's just that Sanlang is on the female color... It's really not good! Over the years, you have been in Yingzhou, and Duke Wuying County doesn't even have half a concubine. Jiayi grew up in such an environment, and Jiayi is fine. Silang is a good child, and Princess Wen is also a sensible person. With the face of the two of us, she will never treat Jiayi at a loss! What's more, I think Silang is really moved by Jiayi, but Sanlang - he is the supreme! Look how many beauties are in this palace now that he has only been selected three times?

"So you're worried about this." Mrs. Wuyingjun smiled and said, "These queens are all mothers in the world. How can they not have much heart? Isn't that how you came back then? As for what you said, Ziyu and Jiayi, it is true that their father has no concubine, but there are many concubines of Shenlang. His son and wife is also a dignified and deficient master, and she is also a warblers and swallows who can't be too suppressed in the backyard. I happen to let them make trouble, so that I can tell Ziyu and Jiayi about the matter here-- When I married the Su family, I was not the master immediately! Always ask them to learn something... I'll make a guarantee with you. If you marry into the palace, the phoenix seal will definitely hold firmly!"

Seeing that she was determined to support Su Ziyu to the back position, the Empress Dowager Gao couldn't help asking, "Sister, tell me the truth - today Zizhen joked with Sanlang in front of many people, but what do you mean?"

- If so, then Mrs. Wuying County had a plan before she came, and this is here to force herself!

The daughter of Su's family and daughter spread affection with Ji in front of the emperor's eldest son's full moon banquet. This is seen by the concubines and clans in the palace. Even if they are deterred by the empress dowager and Mrs. Wuying County, no one dares to talk about this matter publicly. After going back, how can they not mention it in private?

So, who dares to marry Su Zizhen? Can she not go to the palace?

Since she entered the palace, she is the niece of the empress dowager and the eldest daughter of the Su family in Yingzhou. Now there are people left and right in the palace. Zuo Zhaoyi and Qu are the direct daughter of the Qu family. Before her death, the former emperor told the Empress Dowager Gao to be the queen candidate for Ji Shen. How can her status be shaken? Although You Zhaoyi and Sun were not happy with the empress dowager, they also gave birth to Princess Xintai, and Ji Shen may not have forgotten all of her - such two people's positions are not easy to shake. Is it possible for Su Ziqi to succumb to them?

With Mrs. Wuying's always arrogant spirit, it's strange that she is willing to agree!

If you refuse, you can only try to help Su Ziqi to take the back position...

Although the Empress Dowager Gao has always been a little in awe of this eldest sister, she is also the direct sister of her father and mother, so she can't help but be slightly angry when she thinks of this.
