Chapter 714 Mother and Daughter

When Su Qingyun returned to the East Palace, another brother-in-law, Ye Hanxing, also arrived.

It's a pity that Ye Hanxing's daughter-in-law He Lingyao can't come to the East Palace. She is still with her mother in the Shou'an Palace, accompanying the Empress Dowager who was so scared by the liar that she didn't sleep well all night!
The empress dowager deeply believed in the fake Taoist priests, and she always felt that she was going to be in bad luck recently, so the eldest princess Xiao Mingrui, who brought her daughter to Shouan Palace early in the morning, listened to the empress dowager's repeated nagging almost all morning.

"Mother," Xiao Mingrui sighed helplessly, "That Taoist is just scaremongering."

"You, you are still too young." The empress dowager pointed to the ceiling in awe: "When you live to the age of Aijia, you should know that the law of heaven cannot be violated. And you don't have to be stubborn, if you don't believe me, Why did you bring Yao'er into the palace in a hurry early in the morning? Didn't you come here on purpose because you heard the news."

Xiao Mingrui sighed, feeling like a scholar meets a soldier.She couldn't say that she came into the palace because she knew that Empress Chen might attack the Empress Dowager?
Now Empress Chen is guarding against her together, how can it be so easy to enter the gate of Shouan Palace?She also borrowed the reason given by the Taoist priest, she was worried about her mother's recent catastrophe and went to the palace to accompany her as an excuse, and finally got Empress Chen to nod her head and let her into Shou'an Palace.

However, she came in, but Xiao Mingrui also knew very well that this Shou'an Palace might not be coming in and out, and she and the Empress Dowager should be watched by people at all times.

Therefore, He Lingyao mentioned before that Xiao Mingrui did not agree to go to the East Palace to find the Crown Princess.

It is impossible for Empress Chen to let He Lingyao go to the East Palace, and she is not willing to alarm Empress Chen so early.

The Empress Dowager was coaxed by Xiao Mingrui and He Lingyao all morning, and she finally felt better, so she asked, "Why don't you see Jun'er? He hasn't been to Shou'an Palace for a long time, and he hasn't come to see the grandmother of the Ai family for so long. , I don’t want to mourn my family.”

Xiao Mingrui was silent.She actually ordered He Lingjun to come to Shouan Palace directly after the court was over, but He Lingjun didn't show up now, Xiao Mingrui probably guessed what was going on.

How could Empress Chen allow the Empress Dowager to contact the cronies of the Eastern Palace, so today He Lingjun was not able to enter the palace at all, and was blocked by the people from the Shangyi Bureau outside the gate of the Erdao Palace.

He Lingjun didn't force it, and he was also afraid of a conflict with Shangyi Bureau, so he didn't come in at all.

It's just that Xiao Mingrui couldn't tell the Empress Dowager clearly about such things, so she could only reason that He Lingjun was busy with affairs in the court recently and He Lingjun was not free.

"There is always something to do in the court, how can I finish it!" The empress dowager's mood improved a little, and she immediately began to think about the next one.She planned to take advantage of her daughter's entry into the palace to take the opportunity to mention the idea she had been thinking about for a long time.

"You mother doesn't know how to take care of it." The empress dowager said: "Yao'er has been married for half a year, and Jun'er, an older brother, hasn't even ordered a marriage. A shadow, when Aijia was as old as you, the emperor already had a son and a daughter, and you didn't know how to worry. If this continues, when will you be a grandmother? Aijia is still waiting to be a great-grandfather !"

"Grandmother wants to be a great-grandmother, why don't you urge the prince and concubine?" He Lingyao said with a smile, "Mother hasn't even started showing my brother yet. It's too early for you to wait for your brother to have a son."

"That's why the Ai family said, I don't know what your mother is thinking every day." The empress dowager reached out and nodded He Lingyao: "You have been married for half a year, and there is no movement, and don't hurry up."

"It's only been half a year, what's the hurry?" He Lingyao replied nonchalantly: "The Ye family are not in a hurry, but your old man has rushed to come first."

"Of course the Ai family is in a hurry," the empress dowager shook her head: "I have heard that the Ai family has heard that after Wu Dinghou died, the military power of the Western Army might fall into the hands of the Ye family. , then it won’t be until three or five years before you come back? If you don’t hurry up and have a child, how will you survive this day?”

"Who did Queen Mother hear this from?" Xiao Mingrui frowned immediately: "Marquis Wu Ding has just passed away, and the first seven years have not yet passed, so how could such rumors come out? Queen Mother should not believe these nonsense rumors."

In fact, there is no need to ask, Xiao Mingrui knows what's going on.After the death of Marquis Wu Ding, the empress dowager's younger brother, Master Yang, and his wife entered the palace just a few days ago.

Xiao Mingrui could guess what the Yang family was thinking. The Yang family didn't have any connections in the army, so they really hoped that the Ye family could get the military power of the Western Army.

"How could it be a nonsense rumor!" The Empress Dowager said with a natural look on her face, "Ye's family is Yao'er's husband's family, and the military power of the Western Army is in the hands of Ye's family, which is of course more reassuring."

"Queen mother, this is not something we women should take care of." Xiao Mingrui was a little annoyed: "Brother Huang should not be happy when he hears these words."

Xiao Mingrui was unwilling to say this, and the Empress Dowager did not force it, anyway, her main purpose was not to discuss the matter of the Western Army with Xiao Mingrui.

"Okay, don't mention it, is it okay for the Ai family to mention the women's affairs?" The Empress Dowager glanced at Xiao Mingrui, and asked tentatively: "What do you think about Jun'er's marriage?"

"What else can you think?" Xiao Mingrui replied: "As long as the girl's family is of good character and the family style of the in-laws is kind, that's enough, and everything else can be discussed. I also follow this principle when choosing a son-in-law for Yao'er. When I chose the Zhen Guo General's Mansion, I chose the Ye family's upright style, and Han Xing has a good character."

"That's a good relationship," the empress dowager rolled her eyes: "You're right, the daughter-in-law will marry in to live in the future, and character is the most important thing, otherwise you will worry about living together in the future. It's like mourning the family I have always regretted that I should not have married a girl from the Chen family for your imperial brother, it would have been better to choose a well-behaved girl with a mediocre family background! It is better than the bitter and mean woman in Weiyang Palace today."

Xiao Mingrui didn't speak.To be honest, Xiao Mingrui and Queen Chen didn't get along very well, but Xiao Mingrui was always a fair person, she knew very well that if the mother and the queen hadn't married the Chen family daughter for the emperor back then, the emperor would never have been able to ascend the throne in this lifetime.

Moreover, Xiao Mingrui still remembered that the Chen family who had just married the emperor's brother back then were really quite different from the current Empress Chen.

When she was young, Empress Chen was gentle and dignified, and she cared for her husband wholeheartedly. Although she had a stronger personality, she was far from the deep, gloomy and mean look she has today.

Didn't the emperor step by step force Empress Chen to her current state?
Seeing that Xiao Mingrui was silent, the empress dowager thought that she had moved Xiao Mingrui a little bit, so she immediately smiled and continued to say: "Rui'er, if you haven't found someone you like, there are two good ones here. candidates."

　---Here is the dividing line of the eldest princess--
