I became an exiled convict after we got married

Chapter 43 Whispering
The old lady really didn't expect that her granddaughter would have any connection with King Qi.

There were quite a few families who proposed marriage to the government. In the past few months, she had inquired about the situation of each young man's family and her own situation, and there were only a few who were satisfied.

She also thought that since she came back, she would take Lan Niang to several more banquets, and when all the ladies and young men in Beijing were present, she could also take the opportunity to see each other and make a marriage arrangement, saving nights and dreams.

The old lady felt that she was very thoughtful, and considered all aspects, but she didn't expect that after her daughter-in-law and granddaughter returned to Beijing, everything she had done before would be in vain.

Seeing the old lady pondering, Shen Qing asked: "But what's wrong?"

From Shen Qing's point of view, there is nothing inappropriate about King Qi in every respect.He is the younger brother of the Holy Majesty, he has the trust of the Holy Majesty, and he does not need to participate in the seizure of the heir. He is also young and promising, handsome and majestic, Zhilan Yushu, the best candidate.

The only bad thing is that there are a lot of people offended these years, and the official reputation in the court is not very good.

He handled the imperial examination fraud case.

He handled the embezzlement case of military pay.

He handled the case of recovering the official bank.

This is a major case that Shen Qing knew about King Qi's handling.

Every case was a riot at the beginning, and every time it would set off a bloody storm. The officials and families involved were either beheaded or exiled, and a large number of people were involved.

This time and time again, over time, King Qi gained a reputation of being cruel and cruel.

There is also the ongoing salt corruption case in Yangzhou. Shen Qing once heard his father Yongchangbo sigh that many officials and wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou are about to face catastrophe.

What Shen Qing can think of, the old lady can think of too.

Those who are officials in the court are officials and censors who are hated by people, and they also have one or two friends in private, who can advance and retreat together in the court.

But the old lady thought about it for a long time, but she didn't think of officials or nobles who had a personal relationship with King Qi.

If it is said that the relationship with King Qi is the best, it seems that only the current sage is present.

The relationship between King Qi and the Queen Mother is somewhat delicate.

The old lady chooses a husband and son-in-law for her granddaughter, not only by the man's character, but also by the reputation of the man's family and the relationship behind it.

If the aristocratic family wants to survive forever, it is not feasible to fight alone.

After hearing Shen Qing's question, the old lady realized that she had thought too much.

If the Empress Dowager grants a marriage, and their government cannot resist the order, she thinks so much is useless.

"There's nothing wrong, you two go back and rest first."

Wan Jinlan said with a smile: "I haven't seen my grandmother for a long time, I miss my grandmother, I will talk to my grandmother again, and talk about the scenery of Yangzhou."

The old lady was ironing in her heart, and smiled comfortably on her face.

The next morning, Wan Jinlan was stretching her arms and legs in the courtyard when the eunuch who delivered the order from the palace came.

Except for those who have already gone to duty, the whole family of the government went to the front yard to listen to the order.

After Wan Jinlan received the order, she changed into appropriate clothes, dressed dignifiedly without losing the freshness of a young girl.

Shen Qing tied the forbidden steps around her waist, and explained the precautions after entering the palace.

Speaking of which, Wan Jinlan hasn't entered the palace since she went to the southwest, because there are many rules, and she was bullied by the eldest princess when she was young, so she doesn't like to enter the palace.

The jade-staired courtyard and golden tiles and red walls in the palace represent the majesty of the Tian family, as well as the strict hierarchy and various rules.She had to make herself feel uncomfortable before going to the palace.

In the palace, after Emperor Jian'an came down to court, a eunuch came forward and said that the Queen Mother once again announced that Wan's family's concubine's daughter had entered the palace.

Emperor Jian'an said: "It's time for me to pay my respects to my mother, and drive to Ci'an Palace."

In Ci'an Palace, Queen Wang brought the concubines of the fifth rank and above to greet the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager summoned people today, and dismissed them all without saying a few words, leaving only Concubine Wan Gui.

Queen Wang also heard about the Empress Dowager going to Zhen Guogong's mansion to announce people. Seeing that the Empress Dowager only left Concubine Wan Gui alone, she was vigilant and found a reason to stay.

How could the Empress Dowager not know the flirtatiousness in the Queen's heart, she just didn't care.The two have been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for many years, and their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have suffered together.

"The Ai family heard that Duke Zhen's daughter is a good painter and also has some kung fu."

In just a few days, the Empress Dowager investigated Wan Jinlan to the bottom.

Concubine Wan Gui was still calm when she heard the first half of the sentence, but the corners of her mouth twitched slightly when she heard the second half.

"Chenqie's niece is good at painting and also knows some boxing skills. Her boxing kung fu was taught by Chenqie's father himself. Because she practiced kung fu since she was a child, Chenqie's niece has been in good health since she was a child. She has never been sick. Other girls are afraid of the cold and get sick easily, but she can still run horses in the cold weather."

Although Concubine Wan Gui didn't know the Queen Mother's intentions, but of course her own family wanted to make amends.

When the Queen Mother heard this, her complexion became even better. She said: "The old man also has a vision. It can be seen that the girl's family is good at practicing martial arts to strengthen her body. This general teaches his daughter to be different."

Queen Wang snorted coldly in her heart, and said with a smile on her face: "The most important thing for a girl's family is to be gentle, courteous, dignified and dignified. It’s women who lead by example.”

Concubine Wan Gui rolled her eyes.

This is what she admires the most about the queen, she can always seize the opportunity to praise herself in a disguised form, and praise herself as a role model for women in the world.

In the past, the queen mother often praised the queen for being filial and considerate in front of the concubines, and she was the best daughter-in-law.

Concubine Wan Gui was naturally jealous in the past, but she said a lot, and that's it, she didn't care about it long ago.

Concubine Wan Gui rolled her eyes in her heart, but she said very sincerely on her face: "What the empress said is that your mother respects the world, and in the eyes of my concubines, you are an example for women in the world."

Queen Wang was choked.

It's been strange recently, Concubine Wan Gui doesn't rely on the emperor to favor her and say some eccentric words to disturb her when paying her respects every day, instead she always speaks along with her.

Every time this person said something nice, she felt uneasy, wondering if Concubine Wan Gui was speaking ironically and mocking her?
Moreover, the most important thing is that the number of times Wan Guifei sees King Duan is less and less. In the past four months, she has only seen King Duan three times, and the time for King Duan to enter Yongfu Palace is less than a stick of incense .

Queen Wang didn't know what the hell Concubine Wan Gui was doing, so she was on guard.

The queen mother doesn't like to listen to the queen's words today, "The affairs of the whole palace cannot be separated from you, you should step down first."

Queen Wang opened her eyes wide.

The queen mother actually wants to drive her away!This is not a joke for Concubine Wan Gui!

"Mother, what are you talking about so lively, I can hear it from outside."

The emperor was dressed in ordinary clothes, with his usual expression, and walked in like strolling in the courtyard.

No one reported, the queen was taken aback.

After sending greetings, the queen said with a smile: "We are talking about the daughter of Duke Zhen, and the concubine is just curious. I don't know why the queen mother wants to see the niece of the noble concubine's sister."

After taking a sip of tea, the queen mother said: "King Qi sent a letter to the Ai family, asking the Ai family to give him a marriage with a girl from the Wan family."
