The old lady's mouth opened wide and she forgot to close it.

What did she hear?The Queen Mother thinks Xiu Wang and Qing Qing are suitable!
Is this "appropriate" for a man to marry and a woman to marry?

The old lady's first reaction was that she must have misunderstood the Queen Mother's meaning.

Otherwise, let her believe that the Queen Mother wants her granddaughter to be a princess?
What is the difference between this and making her believe that the sun rises from the west?
"Old Madam?" The Queen Mother called the old lady unhurriedly, and was not surprised by the old lady's reaction.

It is normal for the princess to have such a big pie suddenly fall on her head, otherwise she would still feel strange.

The old lady suddenly came to her senses and hurriedly apologized: "My wife is rude."

The Queen Mother smiled: "What do you think of this marriage, Madam?"

The old lady calmed down her shock and asked cautiously: "Queen Mother, do you mean to marry Qingqing for His Highness Prince Xiu?"

The Queen Mother nodded: "The Ai family intends to marry their eldest grandson, King Xiu, and make their granddaughter Kou Qingqing Princess Xiu, so I invite the old lady to come to the palace to ask what you mean."

Speaking of this, the Queen Mother smiled reservedly: "Even if you are from the Tian family, you can't marry someone by force."

That being said, those who truly dare to say no are warriors.

For the old lady, let alone not daring to refuse, this was a huge surprise.

A granddaughter without a father or mother is going to become a princess?

Not to mention Qingqing's dissatisfaction with Shaoqing's Mansion. The rotten meat was stewed in the pot. In the eyes of outsiders, Shaoqing's Mansion was Qingqing's only relative and her natal family.As for the royal family of the princess, the old lady became excited just thinking about how many benefits the Shaoqing Mansion would receive in the future.

As for whether King Xiu would become a prince or even an emperor in the future - the old lady's heart beat rapidly, and her old heart simply couldn't bear to think about it anymore.

"Being able to marry His Highness King Xiu is a blessing brought by Qingqing Xiu."

The old lady returned to Shaoqing's Mansion happily, and opened her mouth to order someone to go to Wanqing Residence to invite her cousin to Ruyi Hall, but she suddenly realized that her granddaughter was not at home.

Qingqing is not at home!
The old lady suddenly panicked.

She even presented her granddaughter's horoscope to the Queen Mother. The decree of marriage might come at some time. How could Qingqing not be at home?

"Go to the Yamen quickly and ask the eldest master to come back."

Duan Shaoqing suddenly received news that there was an emergency at home, and he couldn't help but beat his heart.

The house is relatively peaceful these days, what's the emergency?

You must know that these peaceful days were obtained by his niece running away to be "Mr. Xin", and he became bald because of this. Why is there something urgent?

Duan Shaoqing was worried and aggrieved. He hurried home and listened to the old lady's words before falling down on the chair.

"It's over, it's over, it's over..." Duan Shaoqing's eyes were dull, his expression was dull, and he started pulling his hair again.

The old lady couldn't stand it anymore: "Wensong, if you pull at me again, you will become even balder."

Duan Shaoqing's hand holding his hair paused, then he put it down stiffly, exuding an aura of despair.

The old lady was puzzled by her son's reaction: "If Qingqing becomes the prince's concubine, you will be the prince's uncle. Isn't this a good thing?"

Duan Shaoqing looked at his clueless old mother and was about to cry: "It was originally a great thing, but Qingqing is not here."

Seeing her son's distress, the old lady calmed down: "That's why I asked you to come back. I didn't tell you when Qingqing went out, but she was on the edge of the capital. You should hurry up and send her a letter, or go and pick her up in person. "

Duan Shaoqing woke up as if from a dream: "Yes, I will go find Qingqing right now!"

He does know where that girl is. That dead girl is guarding the mausoleum for Queen Xin as "Mr. Xin"!

Duan Shaoqing disguised himself and hurried to the imperial mausoleum.The cool breeze blew all the way, and the closer I got to the imperial mausoleum, the clearer my mind became.

He can no longer deceive himself, that girl cannot be his niece Kou Qingqing.

If it was just for fun, why would he go south to welcome Queen Xin's coffin to Beijing, and why would he go to the wilderness to guard the mausoleum.Isn't there something wrong with this?

It doesn't matter whether Duan Shaoqing is pretending to be confused or acting like an ostrich, but he resists thinking about the fake identity of his niece.If I think about it even a little bit, I will be so worried that I can’t sleep. If I think about it too much, I won’t be able to survive the whole day.

When the imperial mausoleum was in sight, Duan Shaoqing got off his horse and stood still holding the reins.

If that girl wasn't Kou Qingqing, would she still go back with him?If you don't go back, what will happen to Shaoqing's Mansion?

No, we must take that girl back!

Since that girl has concealed her identity so far, it means that she needs the identity of niece.If you don't go back with him, you'll be doomed.

Along the way, Duan Shaoqing also thought about falsely claiming that his niece was seriously ill to postpone the marriage, but he quickly gave up this stupid idea.

The Queen Mother had already spoken, and she was referring to King Xiu. The Emperor obviously knew this.The Shaoqing Mansion suddenly said that Kou Qingqing was ill, and the palace would definitely send an imperial doctor to see him, and then the secret would be revealed.

Not to mention Jin Linwei.

If you can be forgiven for admitting your niece by mistake, lying to avoid getting married is a solid act of deceiving the emperor, without discounting it.

Thinking about the consequences of bullying the king, Duan Shaoqing felt fierce in his heart: Either take that girl back, or finish it together!

With this decision, Duan Shaoqing calmed down when communicating with the people guarding the tomb: "Just say that my cousin is looking for him. Mr. Xin will know it as soon as he hears it."

Squeezing the purse Duan Shaoqing put in his hand, the man went in to report.

Upon hearing this, Xin You guessed that the person coming was from Shaoqing's house. When he went out, he saw Duan Shaoqing, whose face was covered by a bamboo hat, and recognized it after a little observation.

Qianfeng and Ping An wanted to follow, but she left them behind: "I have some private matters to discuss, so just wait for me here."

Qianfeng and Ping An looked at each other and had no choice but to obey.

After following Xin You for so long, they already knew where to measure.

Xin You is also satisfied with this kind of running-in.It's good to have two loyal guards, but if she doesn't care about her wishes, protection becomes a constraint.

Duan Shaoqing looked at the young man walking towards him calmly, feeling dazed for a moment.

Why does this girl dress like a man so much?

Hiss - could this be his true face? He used to be a man disguised as a woman, right?

"Uncle, do you want to see me for something?"

The girl's soft voice reached his ears softly, and Duan Shaoqing couldn't help but shudder.

That’s right, she’s a dead girl!

"When do you plan to go back?" Duan Shaoqing asked in a low voice.

"I'll be back in a while."

Not to mention Shaoqing's Mansion, Qingsong Bookstore also occasionally shows up.

"Something happened, you have to come with me now."

Xinyou's heart skipped a beat.

Duan Shaoqing hadn't spoken to her in such a serious and tough tone for a long time.

"what's up?"

"Today the Queen Mother sent word that your grandmother has entered the palace and wants to marry you to King Xiu!"

Xin You was startled: "Give me a marriage with King Xiu?"

Duan Shaoqing's expression was distorted with anxiety: "You forgot that during the Chinese New Year, the Queen Mother announced in public that she would act as a matchmaker for you!"

The veins on Xinyou's forehead twitched, and she felt a headache, which was more difficult to understand.

Is it true that the Queen Mother said she wanted to be a matchmaker for her?

wrong!
