I became an exiled convict after we got married

Chapter 44
After the Queen Mother's words fell, Concubine Wan Gui was dumbfounded.

The queen asked in a trance, "What?"

Emperor Jian'an was quite calm, raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "It's also strange that he would take the initiative to ask for marriage."

The queen mother said with a smile: "The Ai family is also very strange, so I want to call people into the palace to have a look."

At this time, Queen Wang was very upset.At the beginning, her niece Wang Minghui was interested in Qi Wang, and she also pushed it, but in the end her niece became a joke, and the marriage has not yet been settled.

Why is she the niece of Concubine Wan Gui's family?no!She disagrees!

The queen said hesitantly: "Is this seniority inappropriate?"

Both are foxes for thousands of years. Concubine Wan Gui and the queen are also old rivals, and she knew what she was up to the moment she opened her mouth.

Talk about seniority, hum!
"In terms of age, King Qi and King Shun are not much different in age. If you want to make a marriage strictly according to seniority, none of the ladies in Beijing are suitable. The empress once mentioned her niece, then Why don't you feel that your seniority is inappropriate?"

The queen groaned coldly when she heard Concubine Wan Gui stabbing her, she knew that the concubine's meekness was all pretended before, but now she is showing her true colors?

It really is a pot that can't be opened without mentioning it!
Seeing that the Empress Dowager's complexion had faded, the queen said with a stiff smile: "The concubine is thinking about it, and the king of Qi can be regarded as we watched him grow up. Regardless of seniority, it is natural to marry a young girl who is talented."

Compared with a son and a daughter-in-law, the son is naturally more important.The Empress Dowager felt that the Queen's words today were particularly unpleasant, so she said again to drive people away: "There are many affairs in the palace, the Queen will deal with it."

Queen: "..."

The queen doesn't want to go.

"The concubine still has something to say. It just so happens that the majesty is here, and the concubine wants to talk about the marriage of Prince Duan."

"Your Majesty has decided on the marriages of the six princes. Earlier, he said to let the concubine and Concubine Wan Gui discuss the candidate for Princess Duan. After the decision is made, let the Ministry of Rites prepare the marriages of the two princes together."

Emperor Jian'an asked "Oh?"

The empress applied eye drops to Concubine Wan Gui openly, "As the concubine of Duan Wangmu, the concubine's younger sister doesn't seem to care about this matter. The concubine has discussed with her many times, and she always said that the concubine can decide this matter."

"The courtiers and concubines have been picking and choosing, and there is indeed a candidate for the princess."

Concubine Wan Gui listened to the queen putting on the eye drops, her face was as usual, as if the matter had nothing to do with her, but when she heard about the candidate for Concubine Duan, she still raised her eyebrows.

"The nephew of my concubine's family, Wang Minghui, is famous for her talents. She blogs about etiquette, is gentle and respectful, and moves forward and retreats appropriately. From the concubine's point of view, she can be regarded as a king and concubine."

Concubine Wan Gui is thinking about how to advance and retreat properly?Those who are suitable have all fallen into the Taiye pool.With Wang Minghui's reputation, marrying Xiao Minghuan, wouldn't Xiao Minghuan make people laugh?
But what does it matter to her?
"How does Aifei feel?"

Concubine Wan Gui replied with a smile: "The empress has good intentions, the daughter of the Wang family, the concubine has nothing to dissatisfy."

The queen was already prepared for Concubine Wan Gui's displeasure, but unexpectedly, she just agreed.She glanced at Concubine Wan Gui vigilantly, and seeing her drinking tea as usual, she felt even more puzzled.

"If that's the case, let the Ministry of Rites handle it." Emperor Jian'an made a final decision, as if he didn't care about Xiao Minghuan's marriage, and could do whatever he wanted.

The corners of the queen's mouth curled up slightly, she was going to let Xiao Minghuan marry her for nothing.How could her natal family help Xiao Minghuan?

At this time, Wan Jinlan was walking in the palace corridor with the nanny in charge of the Empress Dowager's palace in a regular and orderly manner.She could feel the sight of this nun looking at her from time to time.

There was a rushing sound of horseshoes behind him, and Wan Jinlan turned her head slightly in doubt, wondering who was so crazy, and dared to run horses in the palace road.

Xiao Zheng's figure sitting on horseback disappeared in front of her like a gust of wind, every strand of his hair was expressing his urgency.

The mother sighed and said, "It is estimated that King Guangling's illness is serious again."

Wan Jinlan wondered, what's wrong with King Guangling?Wasn't he fine when he was in Yangzhou?

Wan Jinlan didn't ask, and the nanny didn't continue.

When she arrived at Ci'an Palace, she met Xiao Zheng face to face. His forehead was covered with sweat, and his eyes were filled with anxiety and worry.

Xiao Zheng entered the palace to invite the imperial physician, and after asking the queen mother and the emperor, he did not stop, dragging the imperial physician to leave the palace.

"For courtiers, refer to the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, the Empress, and the Imperial Concubine."

The eyes of several people in the hall fell on her, and Wan Jinlan could naturally feel the scrutiny.

The Queen Mother said softly, "Get up."

"Give a seat"

At this moment, the queen said with a smile: "King Qi wrote to his mother later that he wants to marry you as a princess. This is really a happy event."

"Look at this palace, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhen's mansion is indeed excellent in appearance, but it's not like King Qi has never seen someone with better appearance, Miss Wan, tell me why King Qi wants to marry you? Could it be that In Yangzhou, what interesting things happened between the two of you to form a fate? Tell me quickly, so that the queen mother and I can also hear something new."

Concubine Wan Gui's expression turned cold, the queen's words almost didn't say clearly that her niece and Prince Qi had a private relationship.

Concubine Wan Gui was about to speak, when Emperor Jian'an spoke with a dignified expression, "A few days ago, an official from Yangzhou handed over a note, suing the king of Qi and the governor of Yangzhou for robbing an outstanding actress and causing the governor of Yangzhou to die. Is there such a thing?"

Wan Jinlan was surprised at how quickly Xiao Feng asked for the decree to grant the marriage, and felt that things seemed to be bad at this time.

It is rumored that the Holy Majesty and King Qi have a deep brotherhood, and the Holy Majesty trusts King Qi the most. Why did he ask her about this at this moment today?Is it appropriate to ask her about this?should it?
If she hadn't been there that day, wouldn't she have thought too much after hearing what His Majesty said?
But in an instant, she thought so much.

Wan Jinlan hurriedly got up and knelt in the middle, "Your Majesty, I know that on the day of the incident, my daughter, my cousins ​​from the Guangling Palace and the cousins ​​from the Yongchang uncle's mansion were also on the lake. My daughter saw it with her own eyes. His Royal Highness went down. As for the Inspector of Yangzhou, how he died in the cabin, the courtiers don’t know. The courtiers only know that His Royal Highness King Qi was in danger that day, and almost died of the gangsters. As for the woman playing the piano on the boat, Qi His Royal Highness probably doesn't even know what she looks like."

Wan Jinlan's scalp was tense, and the eyes that fell on her were bleak and cold.

The corners of the queen mother's mouth were tense, and the two deep grooves around her mouth seemed to be suppressing her anger.

"Okay, Miss Wanjia got up." The queen mother turned her head to look at the queen, "If you have nothing to do, go and copy the Buddhist scriptures, calm your mind, and get rid of boredom."

The queen's face turned blue and red, and under the gaze of the queen mother, she had no choice but to get up, "The concubine will leave."

The queen's eye knife shot at Wan Jinlan, and Wan Jinlan watched his heart.

"Your Majesty also always brings the affairs of the court to the harem. We girls don't want to get involved in the affairs of the previous dynasty. If you have any doubts, just send someone to Yangzhou for a detailed investigation. Why embarrass your future daughter-in-law here."

Emperor Jian'an bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "What the queen mother said is that I shouldn't. But I also want to consider Brother Feng's future princess. If she is useless, she won't be worthy of him."

The Queen Mother frowned, still looking unhappy.

"I still have some official duties, so I won't bother my mother anymore."

After the emperor and empress left, Wan Jinlan breathed a sigh of relief.
