Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 403

Su has always known his shortcomings: he has no courage, courage, and no ability to deal with complex matters.

She has always been cautious, almost living her life based on people's faces. When she was a child, she saw how the Su family lived their lives. If they were happy, she would eat more food. If they were unhappy, she would immediately tighten up on their lives.

Later, after marrying Qin Xiongfei and becoming a concubine, she devoted herself to pleasing Qin Xiongfei. She only hoped that he could bring her and her daughter back to the Qin family so that she could have an upright status so that her daughter could have a good marriage.

When her daughter grew up, she relied on her. Her daughter was busy every day, and many people came to see her at home, but those who came to see her were just going through the motions for her daughter's sake.

In the past, in Qijiang County, at least her mother's family could move around. Even if they didn't want to take advantage of her, they were her relatives after all.

She was happy to be married. Uncle Qi was very kind to her, considerate and gentle. She was no longer lonely at night. It felt really good to have someone by her side.

But now, Uncle Qi is also busy, so busy that he has no time to rest. His daughter is also busy, and his son-in-law is also busy. It seems that she and the two children are the only ones who have free time at home.

However, in less than two years, it will be time for Luer to go to school for enlightenment, and there are fewer and fewer people around her.

Su has a cowardly character, but she has never been a fool. Perhaps because of the blood relationship between her father and mother, she is actually quite smart, but she was made cowardly by the Su family.

At night, Qin Xiang tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Xiao Chenyu, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up again. He simply sat up, lit a lamp, and said to Qin Xiang: "There has been something wrong with you since yesterday. What happened?"

Qin Yu said: "Are you bothering me? Why don't you go sleep on the couch outside!"

Xiao Chenyu quit and snorted coldly: "I didn't make a mistake. Let me go out to sleep. Tomorrow Qinggu and the others should think that I provoked you and they were kicked out by you."

Qin Xi couldn't help but chuckle and said: "You don't know how good you are in everyone's heart. They will only say that I am arrogant and domineering. How can they say anything wrong about you?"

"Hmph, it's good to know. Don't bully me casually in the future."

"If you don't do bad things, I won't bully you, but if you have evil intentions, I won't just bully you." Qin Xiang knew clearly that Xiao Chenyu was talking nonsense to divert her emotions. She was grateful in her heart, but unforgiving on her lips. Half a point.

"Yesterday, when I met General Huo, he said that I shouldn't hide many things from my mother. Although I always feel that the way to protect my mother is the right way, I am also a little worried."

Xiao Chenyu understood instantly and asked, "Did the mother-in-law say something? Or is it that the mother-in-law is in a bad mood?"

Qin Xiang said what his mother said on the carriage. Xiao Chenyu thought for a while and then said: "Let's spend more time with mother. As for the outside things and the grudges of the previous generation, there is no need to tell her. "

"You also think it's better not to say anything?" Qin Xiang looked at Xiao Chenyu like a wife who relied on her husband at this time, hoping to see him agree with her.

Xiao Chenyu found it funny and said: "Of course, my mother has a gentle temperament, but in fact, she likes to think a lot, but she is not good at expressing it. The more she knows, the more random thoughts she will have, which will not be good if she becomes ill."

"Actually, I know where my mother's heartache comes from." Qin Xi said, "It should be because my father often doesn't come home."

Xiao Chenyu said: "Don't worry about this. I'll take some time to talk to my father. It's easier for men to talk to men."

This could only be the case. Qin Xiang expressed her thoughts and felt relaxed. When Xiao Chenyu turned on the lamp and went to bed, he found that she had closed her eyes and fell asleep. Xiao Chenyu couldn't help but laugh. Qin Xiang fell asleep, but it took a while for him to fall asleep again. Fall asleep.

In the main hall where the Queen Mother lives, the Emperor and the Queen Mother sit together.

The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor and said with a smile: "Why do you have time to accompany the Ai family today?" The Emperor respectfully replied: "My son, I came here today because I want to discuss Zhao'er's marriage with my mother."

"Oh, does the Emperor have a candidate?" the Queen Mother asked with a faint smile. However, her voice changed slightly, and others may not be able to hear it, but how could the Emperor not know?
"There is a good candidate, but the queen mother is the one who has to check it!" the emperor said with a smile.

The Queen Mother had a strange feeling in her heart, and looked at the Emperor with an appraising look.

But the emperor still smiled as submissively as before, and even his eyes were the same as before.

But this uneasy feeling still lingers.

"Which girl from the family caught your eye? Tell me?" The Queen Mother did not say whether she agreed or not, but first asked which family the girl belonged to.

"My mother is also familiar with her. She is the second daughter of the Jianyong Hou family. I heard that she is also a talented woman who is well-read in poetry and books. She also has a gentle and virtuous temperament. She is suitable to be Zhao Er's princess."

The Queen Mother thought for a while, seeming to recall Jiang Yue's appearance and temperament in her mind, and then nodded, but she looked a little embarrassed.

The emperor immediately asked with concern: "Mother, what do you think is wrong?"

"I have seen this girl. She is indeed a good child. I have also thought about marrying her back to serve you. But, I heard."

The emperor sneered in his heart, knowing that these were the key words.

"I also heard that she seemed to have some thoughts about her brother-in-law, so I stopped thinking about it."

"In any case, Miss Jiang is also the legitimate daughter of Marquis Jianyong. How could she think of becoming Du Ziren's concubine?" The emperor looked surprised, but he was refuting the Queen Mother's words.

In the past, the emperors, let alone contradicting the Queen Mother on such matters, had the final say even in political matters. In fact, it was the Du family that had the final say.

That uncontrollable feeling came over again. The Queen Mother frowned again and looked at the Emperor displeased: "Your cousin is so charming. It is normal for the Jiang family girl to like him. As long as her sister Hua Yi The princess wants the two sisters to work together as one husband, and no one else can say anything about it. Maybe it will be a good story. "

The emperor smiled and said, "What the Queen Mother said is true. However, when Zhao Er came to ask for marriage from Er Chen, she was saying that Miss Jiang seemed to have some affection for him. Er Chen thought that if this young man and woman could be in love with each other, they would be happy in the future. After marriage, we can play the music more harmoniously, isn’t it true that love lasts forever?”

"Zhao Er said that Miss Jiang liked him? When did they meet?" The Queen Mother did not answer the emperor's words, but asked another question.

It seemed that she was concerned about Zhao Er's situation outside, but in fact, the emperor knew that she wanted to harm Jiang Yue.

The emperor lowered his eyes slightly, hiding all the emotions in his eyes, then raised his head and said with a smile: "Zhao'er is older, and it is impossible for him to still ask us about everything."

After a pause, when the Queen Mother was about to speak, the Emperor said again: "Queen Mother, why don't you just obey Zhao Er? The Princess has decided to let the Jiang family girl become a concubine, so she should be allowed to follow the Queen Mother's arrangements."

As a prince, of course it is impossible to have only one princess, and he must have two concubines.

It is equivalent to the emperor deciding the position of the princess, and the queen mother has the final say on the two and three concubines.

The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor steadily, with a meaningful smile on her lips. Slowly, the smile deepened, and she even laughed out loud. The Emperor's calm and respectful attitude gradually became stiff, and there was a slight sweat on his forehead. meaning.

"Your Majesty, are you negotiating terms with the Ai family?" The Queen Mother's smile did not fade, but she said slowly.
