The princess is soft!The sick villain is crazy

Chapter 74 Marriage
Forgive me for leaving just like that.

The queen mother slumped against the beauty couch, clutching the armrest tightly with one hand, and muttered to herself: "He won't come again..."

After 40 years, she should have let go of these things long ago, but when Jian Tingzhi appeared in front of her, the Queen Mother still couldn't control her emotions.

It turned out that they didn't let go.

But they are all old.The once clear-eyed and imposing young man is now also covered with fine lines and spots covered with age, and his body is hunched, and he can no longer look young.

And she is also getting old, her temples are grizzled, half of her body is buried in the loess, and she has lost the beauty of a young girl.

If you miss it, you miss it.

"Grandma..."

Shu Yao called softly, and the queen mother came back to her senses, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I'm sorry, it's Aijia who is sentimental."

She raised her head, looked at Shu Yao with soft and complicated eyes, and waved to her, "Good boy, come to grandma."

The girl who used to be so big has grown into a slim figure.The Empress Dowager has recently received many invitations from noble ladies, all wanting to bring their own children into the palace to condolence to the Empress Dowager, what is the idea, can she not understand?
Shu Yao sat down next to the queen mother, and Xue Tuan meowed in Shu Yao's arms.The queen mother touched Xuetuan's soft head, "Yaoyao, have you ever thought about marrying someone? If you are interested, Aijia will ask the emperor to marry you."

In the past, they all tacitly agreed that Shu Yao and Xie Yanzhou were a couple, and few people asked Shu Yao this question. This was the first time the Empress Dowager mentioned the matter of marriage with Shu Yao.

Shu Yao was also dumbfounded.

Who do you want to marry?
She should have confidently answered "I don't want to marry", but the moment the Queen Mother asked her this question, Li Mingji's face flashed across Shu Yao's mind.

Shu Yao was rarely at a loss: "I..."

The queen mother couldn't see anything strange about the child she brought up by herself. She was a little surprised but not surprised at the same time. She changed the way of asking:
"Yaoyao might as well tell Aijia, what kind of gentleman do you like?"

Shu Yao kneaded the snowball's fluffy and soft fur, causing the latter to pat her wrist lightly with his tail. She frowned and thought for a moment, "Be gentle and considerate, and be patient."

Qin Yanghou's temper was very bad, and he would get angry with a few words, and tried his best to maintain his authority as a father. Shu Yao hated this kind of man the most.

"The backyard needs to be clean," Shu Yao said, "This Princess doesn't allow him to take concubines."

It's better to have a lower status than hers - she doesn't want to listen to her husband yelling every day.After all, her future husband had to be self-aware of his identity if he wanted to serve her in dressing, washing, and dressing up.

Shu Yao was brought up by Emperor Yong and the Empress Dowager since she was a child. Emperor Yong always taught her not to treat herself badly at any time, so if she was asked to marry a stranger, and to support her husband and raise children for him, Shu Yao would not do these.

The queen mother was amused by Shu Yao's speech, but she nodded in agreement: "Yaoyao makes sense."

Girls always have beautiful fantasies about marriage and future husbands. Thinking of those past events, the Queen Mother's eyes darkened, and a flash of hatred flashed across them.

"Yuanyuan hasn't gotten engaged yet, grandma, don't worry about my marriage." Shu Yao put the cat down and hugged the Queen Mother's arm, "Grandma, I won't get married, so I will stay with you and uncle."

"Concubine Shu will worry about A Yuan's marriage. The Ai family is worried that my health will not live up to expectations, and I won't see you get married."

Not to mention Shu Yao's mother...

The queen mother closed her eyes, guilt and regret intertwined in her eyes.

"Grandmother, I don't allow you to say such depressing words!" Shu Yao stared straight, "Forgive the elder for saying that you don't need to give you needles in the future, you will live a long life!"

But she inevitably remembered the dream.

In the dream, she died of this poison.At that time, Zhang Sheng had already been beheaded by Deng Tuzi, who would want to harm her?

"My family knows."

The queen mother couldn't help laughing, and gently patted Shu Yao's head, "The Ai family is most worried about you, the Ai family will definitely watch us get married beautifully."

"Niangniang, Niangniang!"

The grandparents and grandchildren said a few words, and the servant outside the door hurried in, "See the empress dowager, see the princess. Madam, Qin Yanghou, please see me!"

……

Outside the Longevity Palace.

Qin Yanghou looked coldly at Li Mingji in front of the guards.

"1 taels of silver? Li Mingji, how courageous you are! At such a price, you can buy authentic works of painters from the previous dynasty. You dare to open your mouth and trick shopkeeper Pan into buying your paintings at a high price. This is a fraud!"

Qin Yanghou was on duty from the Imperial Academy today, and remembering that the study needed new ink, he let the carriage turn to Mo Yuxuan and went to pick it out himself.Walking into Mo Yuxuan, the shopkeeper Pan Jun suddenly knelt in front of him and asked him for help in tears.

Pan Jun is Pan's cousin, and these years can be regarded as a saddle for Qin Yanghou's mansion. He also presented "Cold Mountain Picture" earlier, which made Qin Yanghou shine at Emperor Yong's birthday banquet.Therefore, Qin Yanghou asked Pan Jun to stand up and asked him what was going on.

Only then did Qin Yanghou know that Pan Jun spent 1 taels of silver to buy this "Cold Mountain Picture", and for this reason, he had already mortgaged many treasures of the town store.Now that it was time to buy new materials, Mo Yuxuan had no spare money at all, so Pan Jun ran around and borrowed from every household.

The key to the treasury of Qin Yanghou's mansion is in Pan's hands, and Qin Yanghou is not quite sure how much money the Hou's mansion has.The number that Pan Jun needs is far from what the current Qin Yanghou can come up with.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Yanghou thought of Li Mingji.

This young man who started his career as a humble son, now serves as the commander of Du Yuhou, and is quite trusted by Shu Yao.

He is the painter named Qingyan.

If it wasn't for Pan's rescue of Li Mingji, Li Mingji would not have been favored by Shu Yao, and he would have skyrocketed.It can be said that the Marquis of Qinyang's Mansion is kind to Li Mingji.

If he is sensible, this "Cold Mountain Picture" should be directly dedicated to Qin Yanghou's mansion.But he knew that he would not repay his kindness, and stole 1 taels of silver from the Hou's mansion. How could Qin Yanghou swallow this breath?
That's a full 1 taels!

Qin Yanghou immediately returned to the palace, trying to get the 1 taels of silver back.

Shu Yao doesn't accept softness and toughness, if she asks Shu Yao to argue, she will definitely favor Li Mingji.Hearing that Shu Yao was accompanying the Queen Mother in Yanshou Palace today, Qin Yanghou was overjoyed, and went to Mo Yuxuan again to ask Pan Jun to give him the account book.

The Empress Dowager is a sensible person and will not favor Shu Yao in everything like Emperor Yong did.The ledger clearly recorded Mo Yuxuan's distressed situation, and the Queen Mother should also be able to understand that Li Mingji's asking for 1 taels of silver was intentional.

"Master Hou misunderstood." Li Mingji smiled warmly, his eyes were dark and bottomless, "The humble job just consigned the painting, and I didn't know that the painting was sold to you."

　Queen Mother: Who does my granddaughter want to marry?
