Cining Palace.
The Queen Mother has been living in the palace for a long time since she returned to the palace ten years ago. She will also help Concubine Ping manage some palace affairs, but she still loves to worship Buddha and has to go to the Heavenly Master to pray for blessings every morning.
The same is true today.
However, when the Queen Mother returned from paying homage to Buddha today, she saw Mingyan in Cining Palace.
"Xiao Yan'er, why are you willing to come and sit in the Cining Palace of the Ai family today?" The Queen Mother was not angry when she saw Mingyan sitting in the Cining Palace without permission and eating cakes. On the contrary, she asked jokingly.
"Yan'er missed Imperial Grandmother, so she came here." Mingyan raised a big smile, then picked up a piece of snacks, and said with anger and resentment, "Emperor Grandmother, your snacks in Cining Palace are also It’s too bland, if there is no dessert, Yan’er will never survive!”
"Bah, bah, bah! You can't live!" The queen mother came over, and the maids around her took a detour. Even Linglong and Linglang took a few steps back slightly, lowering their heads and not looking at the exchange between grandparents and grandchildren. The Queen Mother gently patted Mingyan on the shoulder and said, "Girl, you didn't even say a word that you were coming to the Ai family's Cining Palace, so that the Ai family could prepare some desserts for you!"
"Royal Grandmother~" Mingyan said with a smile, "It's Yan'er's fault this time. It's Yan'er who came to visit rashly. She deserves to be punished!"
The Queen Mother tapped the tip of Mingyan's nose and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go ask the kitchen to make some desserts." The Queen Mother ordered.
"Royal Grandmother, Yan'er knows that you treat Yan'er the best!" Mingyan's eyebrows were crooked, and she was throwing sweet words at the Queen Mother.
Seeing the Queen Mother sit down on the couch, Mingyan also sat down and listened to the Queen Mother talking about the major events and gossips that were going to happen in recent days.
"Your Majesty showed some women to your second emperor brother, but your second emperor brother couldn't take any fancy to him. Your Majesty was really annoyed by your second emperor brother, so he suggested marriage to him." Mention this matter. , the Empress Dowager's face was also full of helplessness, "This second son is really so insensitive to matters between men and women!"
The second emperor brother.
Mingyan also frowned slightly - in her impression, the second emperor's brother Mingyu seemed to be a person who was not as expressive of joy, anger and sorrow as Mingsu. Could it be that he was just as stupid as the emperor's grandmother said?
But it shouldn't be. Judging from the way she looked at Mingyu's luck as a child through her eyes, she should have a beloved wife.
But in my impression, Mingyu has indeed changed his temper as the Queen Mother said, and no one can look down upon him?
Full of doubts in her heart, Mingyan immediately asked: "Then, whose girl did the father choose for the second brother?"
"The second daughter of the Dali Temple Qing's Mansion, Dongfang Ling."
Mingyan raised her eyebrows slightly, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on her face - "Second Miss Dongfang, how could it be her?"
There were three direct daughters of the Dali Temple Qingfu, all of whom are known to the world. Dongfang Yin, the eldest daughter of the Qing Palace of Dali Temple, is well-educated and proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is a proper lady; Dongfang Yue, the third daughter of the Qing Palace of Dali Temple, has an extraordinary appearance, as if a fairy has descended from heaven, and her craftsmen are exquisite. Every piece of embroidery embroidered by the female workers can be sold at a high price; Dongfang Ling, the second daughter of the Dali Temple Qingfu, is decisive and can understand the law at a young age. She has also passed the imperial examination that is difficult for even men to pass. As an official The female official served as the Dali Administrator in the Dali Temple, and her reputation spread far and wide. She was the unquestionable judge in the laws of the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even her father trusted her. Probably because Mrs. Qing of Dali Temple had no sons, and all the boys came from the side room, she devoted herself to raising three daughters.
But why would my father choose Dongfang Ling?
Mingyan originally thought that if she were to choose among the three young ladies of the Dongfang family, the one who was most suitable to be the princess of the royal family would probably not be the eldest daughter Dongfang Yin, who was knowledgeable and courteous, but the graceful eldest daughter Dongfang Yin. The third daughter is Dongfang Yue.
Seemingly seeing the expression on Mingyan's face, the Queen Mother also showed a "really so" expression on her face, and smiled: "Xiao Yan'er, you must be surprised too, the Ai family has the same thoughts as you, and you can't figure it out. To find out what kind of medicine His Majesty is selling in the gourd, the Ai family only knows that Yu'er still has a cold attitude towards this matter. In this case, they will do as His Majesty said, and they can only suffer the consequences for Second Miss Dongfang. They will get something later. Just make it up to her."
Mingyan frowned her thin eyebrows, her heart was filled with thoughts.
At this moment, the Queen Mother suddenly took Mingyan's hand, took a basket of pastries from Aunt Yu beside her, and placed it on the table——
"Yan'er, the Ai family has one more thing to ask of you, so I'll give you this basket of desserts."
Mingyan narrowed her eyes alertly and said coquettishly: "Grandma Huang, you asked Yan'er to do something again!"
The Queen Mother smiled and coaxed: "The Ai family saw that only Yan'er was the safest among the people around them, so they entrusted Yan'er to handle the betrothal gift herself." The Queen Mother sighed softly, "This matter, The emperor also knew that he couldn't bear the second girl of the Dongfang family, so he wanted the Ai family to find someone to send it off in person." The Queen Mother changed the subject and said earnestly, "But the Ai family has looked around, but still can't find her. It’s not until Yan’er comes today that the Ai family seems to have seen hope.”
Mingyan had already been coaxed by the Queen Mother's sweet words and could only agree in a daze.
When she calmed down and thought about it again, she realized that the Empress Dowager had dug a hole for her a long time ago - she would start planning when she arrived, and she would definitely ask for some snacks from the Empress Dowager. While holding the snacks, he coaxed her into agreeing with sweet words.
"Royal Grandma!" Mingyan pouted, stuffed a piece of dessert into her mouth angrily, and pretended to leave after mentioning the dessert - "Linglong, Linglang, let's go!!!"
The Queen Mother laughed so hard that she couldn't keep her eyes open, and quickly arranged for Aunt Yu to send her a gift: "Ayu, send it to Yan'er!" The Queen Mother seemed to have remembered something, and said, "Xiao Yan'er, the Ai family will send the gift list to Yao in a moment. Hua Gong’s coming is really troubling our little Yan’er!”
After hearing the Queen Mother's words, Mingyan seemed to be angry and took several steps forward.
Even Linglong and Linglang looked at each other, and then laughed out loud - whether their princess is warm-hearted and kind-hearted or careless.
Mingyan stood on the palace road and stopped. If she thought about it carefully, she could figure out the trick. She immediately stamped her feet and said: "Linglong, Linglang, follow this princess to find Jing Zhaorong!"
Linglong and Linglang didn't know why Mingyan suddenly changed her mind. Some nuns were confused, but adhering to the concept of "Her Royal Highness's words are the truth", they followed Mingyan closely. (End of chapter)
