After giving way to my husband's sweetheart

It is said that not long after Sima Zhengren and his wife left Luo'an Hall, Sima Zhengde brought the Luo family to pay his respects to Mrs. Tai.

Everyone in the second room has left, and only the big landlord and his wife and concubines are left in the house. After seeing Mrs. Tai, Sima Zhengde asked straight to the point: "Chao'er is not young anymore. I asked my mother to see him for a few days ago." Noble girl, does mother have anything she likes?"

When Wang Shi heard this, she couldn't help but feel a sudden burst in her heart.

She is Sima Zhengde's official wife, and she is involved in the marriage of her children. How could her husband bypass her and let Mrs. Tai handle the matter directly?

Mrs. Xie suppressed the depression in her heart, and quietly glanced at Mrs. Su who was sitting next to her husband. She saw Mrs. Su's face was calm and calm, obviously she knew about this matter.

It's the clan's wife's job to take care of the middle class and her daughter's marriage.

Although the eldest son Sima Chao was not born by her, she has no control over his marriage, but it should be entrusted to her to take care of it. Mrs. Su and Mrs. Su knew about such a big matter, but it was a little bit strange for her to be born. I don't know either.

Wang felt as if she had eaten Coptis chinensis.

Mrs. Tai glanced secretly at Wang, and replied to her son calmly: "I have seen all the noble girls you mentioned, and they are all good children, especially the eldest daughter of Li Situ's family. It's especially to my liking."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Tai couldn't help but sighed slightly, and said: "It's just that I have to ask Chao'er about this matter."

Sima Zhengde replied: "Children's marriage is the order of the parents, and the matchmaker's words, where there is no room for him to intervene, we choose for him, it must be the best."

Mrs. Tai smiled, and said to her son in a slightly teasing tone: "Don't you know your son's temper? If he is so easy-going and obedient, why would you move my old woman?" come out."

Seeing that his mother had spotted him, Sima Zhengde stroked his beard and laughed.

Seeing the situation, Mrs. Su persuaded her husband: "Mother is right. Chao'er is already an adult and has always had his own opinions. It's better to ask his opinion on this matter. Otherwise, the young couple will not be able to raise their eyebrows together in the future. Let's be elders." It’s time to complain.”

Sima Zhengren has always doted on Mrs. Su, he said with a smile: "Then ask this kid, I just hope that he will not know what is good and what is wrong, and let us down." Then, he told the maid beside him: "Go and invite the eldest son here."

After a while, the servant who was sent out came back and reported: "Report to the prince, the eldest son is not in the mansion."

Sima Zhengde asked: "May I ask the people around him, where did they go?"

The servant girl replied: "Your maidservant asked, the people in the eldest son's courtyard said that they have not seen the eldest son for several days, and the eldest son has not returned to the mansion in these few days."

"Where has this little bastard gone?" Sima Zhengde scolded, and then said to Mrs. Tai: "I don't care about him, since that's the case, let the mother decide which girl to choose. Anyway, these days The families are all big families, no matter which one you choose, you can’t go wrong.”

Mrs. Tai smiled and nodded, without further words.

In the imperial city, female officials in their fifties walked slowly into the main hall, bowed down to Concubine Guo Guifei, and said, "I have to report to the Empress Dowager, there are already some clues about what you asked your slaves to investigate."

After hearing the words, Queen Mother Guo hurriedly asked: "Who is the person behind the assassination of this palace?"

The female official replied: "According to the clues found by the servant girl, this person should be from the middle of Sichuan."

Hearing this, Queen Mother Guo suddenly said: "Could it be true that the rumors in the market are true, and the son of that bitch is really still alive?"

The female official replied: "I am afraid that the only one who can make those rebellious officials in Sichuan spend their money like this is the King of Qin."

Empress Dowager Guo clenched her hands under the golden sleeves into fists, angrily said: "I blame this palace for being negligent for a while, but I fell for that bitch's golden cicada's plan to escape."

She lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, then asked again: "Where is Sima Chao? It's been a few days, I don't believe he hasn't found out the truth yet."

The female officer replied: "Young General Sima hasn't been in the inner palace for the past two days, and he doesn't seem to be in the capital either."

"What do you mean you don't seem to be in the capital?" The Empress Dowager Guo was so annoyed that she clapped the table and said displeasedly, "Is this how you all work for the Palace?"

The female officer quickly apologized on her forehead, and defended herself: "Forgive me, Queen Mother, although the slaves have been sent to watch, but that Sima Chao is very shrewd, our people dare not watch too closely, if he finds out, it will be disadvantageous in the end. "

Empress Dowager Guo's eyes moved slightly, she nodded and said: "Right now, there is a scuffle among heroes outside, and it is true that Sima's family cannot be separated from it, that's all, don't try to scare the snake into being discovered by him, if there is a suspicion, someone will take advantage of it."

The female officer hurriedly agreed, and then went back; "My servant also inquired about a piece of news today. I heard that the Sima family is recently choosing a wife for Major General Sima."

The queen mother asked: "Do you know which daughter you have chosen?"

Marriage of the rich and powerful has always been about profit first, and now the Sima family is extremely powerful, so which family the eldest son of the Sima family will marry has a lot to do with everything.

The female official replied: "There is Da Situ Li's family, there is also Zhao's family in the general's mansion, and there is another family in the prime minister's mansion."

They are all the top beam houses of the dynasty.

After listening to the female officer's report, Queen Mother Guo sighed, and murmured: "The Sima family is very ambitious, and now Sima Zhengde is already in power. If we get married with these families, it will be even more powerful."

As she spoke, Empress Dowager Guo rested her forehead with her hands, showing a tired look on her face.

Seeing this, the female official tried to speak: "If the Empress Dowager wants to destroy the alliance between the Sima family and these families, why not order a marriage and choose another family for Major General Sima that will be beneficial to Her Majesty and the Empress Dowager."

Queen Mother Guo shook her head, and murmured: "It's not that easy." She sighed: "At the beginning, I wanted to hand over Shuangchi to Sima Chao, but Sima Zhengren could have refused, let alone a daughter from another family."

As she spoke, she waved her hand and said, "Forget it, let's just wait and see how things change."

She also ordered the female official to say: "It's just that the evil that murdered me, you have to find a way to order them to find out and get rid of it, hum! I don't want the rest of the late emperor's blood to compete with my son for the throne."

The female official agreed, and then asked: "The death day of the late emperor is coming soon, will the Empress Dowager still go to Jinshan Temple to pay homage?"

Since the Empress Dowager was almost assassinated last time, the security of the Imperial City has become more stringent now, almost protecting the Emperor and Empress Dowager tightly.

The female official thought that the queen mother would not go out of the palace during this extraordinary period, but the queen mother Guo said: "Of course I will go."

Just as the female officer was about to persuade her, the Queen Mother Guo smiled thoughtfully and said, "Those traitors who wanted to assassinate me couldn't succeed in the palace, so I wish I could go out of the palace. Such a good opportunity, my palace How can we not let them do what they want?"
