Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 450
"I will." Yao Cunmei nodded, with a mocking smile on her lips: "Our sisters are so different now, I have no right to make her unhappy!"

"Why?" Zhao Jiyuan hooked her chin lightly with his long and slender fingers, and said with a light smile, "Why does it sound so sour? I hate your husband for being incompetent?"

"What nonsense are you talking about! I didn't mean that!" Yao Cunmei was shocked, and subconsciously turned her head to break free from his hand.

"It's fine if you don't, otherwise you'd be a fool!" Zhao Jiyuan smiled slightly and withdrew his hand.He didn't mean to blame her in the slightest.

"Oh? How do you say that?" Yao Cunmei emboldened, tilted her head and asked with a smile.

Zhao Jiyuan glanced at her, and said unhurriedly: "You know that there is no point in doing this, but you want to do it like this, what is it if you are not a fool? Life is made by people, and how you live depends on what you think, don't you think? Besides Oh, huh, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, who knows what will happen in the future! This man, it's too early to say anything before the last day!"

Yao Cunmei raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes flickered, then she lowered her head and said nothing.

In front of him, she seemed more and more like a fool.She seemed to understand very little of what he said, and she half understood what he asked her to do.She knew he wouldn't have the patience to explain to her, so she didn't bother to ask.

Anyway, he is her husband, and she can only live with him in this life!For her, it is enough for her to know this.

In February, the Eastern Hu Royal Court of the Western Regions sent envoys with thousands of horses, cattle and sheep, various precious felt products, countless pearls and gems and other precious treasures.One is to pay tribute, and the other is to marry Princess Dazhou for King Donghu.

When Shen Quan conquered the Western Regions, he got a lot of help from Donghu. The king of Donghu admired the culture of Dazhou very much, and was eager to marry Dazhou and marry his two surnames.

For Da Zhou, this is also an excellent thing.The marriage between the two countries means that for the border residents of the two countries, they can enjoy peace away from war.The mutual market trade at the border can also be guaranteed, and there is no need for mutual exchange.More importantly, Dazhou can use Donghu to contain the entire Western Regions, so as to achieve a balance and eliminate Dazhou's foreign aggression to the greatest extent.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager specially ordered the Minister of Honghe Temple and Lord Lu Xiangye to receive the envoys personally, and decreed to use the highest standard of hospitality; on the other hand, the matter of Donghu's courtship was handed over to the Ministry for discussion.

The queen mother's attitude is so clear that the six ministers will only sing against her unless they are stupid.Moreover, this matter was originally beneficial and harmless to Da Zhou. Everyone agreed and unanimously approved the marriage.

The Empress Dowager rejoiced, and with a tick of the Zhubi, the matter was considered a final decision.

The next thing to discuss is which princess to marry.Today's emperor has few heirs, only two sons and two daughters have grown up.The two princesses, Princess Wuyang and Princess Qinshui, were already married, so they were obviously out of consideration.According to the practice of the previous dynasty, a virtuous, virtuous, talented and beautiful woman was selected from the prince and county prince's mansion to be accepted by the emperor as a righteous daughter and canonized as a princess to marry.

The Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, and the Clan Mansion were busy for several days, and selected three suitable candidates, indicating their backgrounds one by one, and presenting them to the Queen Mother for decision.

This was an extremely easy job. After the heads of the three yamen submitted the information of the candidates, they happily waited for the reward, but when they didn't want to, what they waited for was the empress dowager's dissatisfaction.

The queen mother was not satisfied with these three candidates, she pointed out the shortcomings and ordered another selection.

The three chiefs were very surprised, and the king's fate was too difficult to have, so they had to work hard to re-select.This time, no one was in a relaxed mood.

Three more candidates handed it in. The Queen Mother was not dissatisfied, but angry!What's the intention of reprimanding the three of them for not doing business with their heart and clearly fooling around?

The three of them looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what went wrong that made the Queen Mother Fengyan furious.At this time, let alone longing for rewards, thank God for being able to complete the errand smoothly!

This time, the three of them had long given up the slightest thought of being greedy for merit, so they gathered their capable subordinates together to study over and over the pampering booklets in the royal family's boudoir, in an attempt to find a suitable candidate from among them.

But how is this job so easy?The three of them and their subordinates discussed and studied for two days and two nights. Once bitten by a snake for ten years, the mentality of being afraid of well ropes caused trouble, and the original simple things were hard to settle!
The Queen Mother is not a patient person.Angry her again and again, waiting for him will definitely not be a good thing.

"I think we have forgotten one person." Lord Qing Gui of Honglu Temple's eyes suddenly lit up, and said with a sinister smile: "King Zhenxi has been in the Western Regions for so many years, and he has a close relationship with King Donghu. It must be that King Donghu is asking to marry the princess. Zhenxi Wang must know what kind of woman is more suitable, what do you think——how?"

"That's right! That's right! That's right! We're all confused, how could we forget King Zhenxi!" Mr. Gu, Minister of Rites, slapped his forehead, and was overjoyed.

"Here, King Zhenxi is ordered to recuperate behind closed doors, isn't it a little—" King Zongzhenglu of the clan's mansion hesitated.Now that the queen mother is angry, she hastily involved King Zhenxi, if he is harmed, wouldn't it be self-defeating?After all, King Zhenxi's current attitude is very beneficial to the future of the entire royal family. From the perspective of the overall situation, he can't bear to drag him into the water.

"The king's words are wrong! The king of Zhenxi is responsible for this matter! If he can't solve it properly, let alone us! Who can bear the Queen Mother's anger?" Lord Gui immediately retorted.

Mr. Gu and all his subordinates also echoed in unison, Duke Lu had no choice but to agree with it after hesitation.

The three of them did what they said, and Lord Gui went to the Zhenxi Palace to ask for an interview that night.It would be best if this matter could be resolved in private, but if not, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask the Queen Mother to send an order to King Zhenxi to assist.

Shen Quan is accompanied by his beloved wife to play every day in the mansion, red sleeves add fragrance to the night and read at night, and the life is very leisurely. Hearing that Mr. Gui asked to see him, after a little thought, he knew why he came.

"This man is in a hurry to go to the doctor! What does it have to do with King Donghu begging the princess to marry me! I'm afraid his trip will be in vain!" Shen Quan sneered slightly.

The two were playing chess, Yao Cunhui lightly dropped a piece, and said with a smile, "Since he is here, you should meet him! You have been home for so long, this is a good opportunity to come to your door!"

Shen Quan's eyes flickered when he heard this, and then he smiled and said: "The opportunity is good, but it seems a bit too difficult to seize this opportunity! My husband thinks that to avoid trouble, it's better to be safe and careful!"

The Empress Dowager is a person who is both stubborn and very good-looking. After so many choices and dissatisfaction, everyone knows that she must have a candidate for marriage in her heart, but for some reason, it is inconvenient for her to name this candidate herself. The subject proposed, and she readily agreed.If Shen Quan can guess the candidate in her mind, the queen mother will be overjoyed, write down this favor, end Shen Quan's recuperation, and recover him.On the face of Shen Quan, he didn't care about recuperating under the order, but Yao Cunhui knew that he was already secretly anxious, the longer he left the Ministry of War, the worse it would be for the prince!

But who does the Queen Mother really want?Who dares to say that he knows!If you guess wrong, you will be doomed!

Because the queen mother hates people who pretend to be smart and show off in front of her!

Yao Cunhui stared at him deeply when he heard the words, pursed his lips but smiled without saying a word.

Shen Quan couldn't help itching when she saw that she clearly had a ravine in her chest, and couldn't help but gently hugged her and said with a low smile: "Good man, did you think of something? Tell my husband!"

Yao Cunhui chuckled, turned his head and said with a smile: "I don't know if it's right or not, the unmarried women of the royal family come and go, and the people selected by the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Honglu Temple will definitely not be unreasonable." Appropriate, it can only be said that it is not in line with the Queen Mother's wishes. From my point of view, the Queen Mother has never thought of choosing among the maidens of the royal family. There must be a lot of girls who are waiting to be married in the Lu family, right?"

Shen Quan only felt enlightened and enlightened.According to the temperament of the Queen Mother, this possibility is too great!

"You're right. The Empress Dowager must want a girl from the Lu family to marry Donghu!" Shen Quan murmured, and lightly thumped the chessboard, "No wonder, no wonder!"

No wonder she was dissatisfied with the selection of the royal family, no wonder she refused to speak up and insisted on waiting for her servants to start.

"After all, the Empress Dowager misses the Lu family a little more!" Shen Quan sighed softly, his eyes darkened.

After all, the queen mother is the prince's direct grandmother. Shen Quan knows that in the prince's heart, he really hopes that his old grandmother will think more about his son and grandson. Wait for the situation.It would be best to be able to resolve the succession of the throne peacefully without bloodshed!
Unfortunately, he was disappointed. After this incident, the prince will be completely disappointed too!
His old grandmother obviously valued his natal family more.The husband's family has obviously become a stumbling block.

"Are you going to remind Master Gui?" Yao Cunhui asked softly.

"Follow the flow of favors, why not do it!" Shen Quan smiled wryly.

No one can change the Queen Mother's decision.Even if he didn't say anything at this time, the queen mother still has other ways to enlighten Mrs. Gui, and the girl from the Lu family has been appointed by default.

Mr. Gui was stunned for a long time after hearing Shen Quan's hint, but he didn't realize it. The feeling of astonishment was undoubtedly equivalent to thunder and lightning in the blue sky!
Master Gui left Shen's mansion in a daze, thought for a while, and then told Master Gu first.Duke Lu is the prince of the royal family after all, I'm afraid he will lose face after hearing this.

Mr. Gu was also very surprised, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his words made sense.Besides, at this point, I have to be brave and give it a try.

When the three of them got together to discuss the next day, the two lords clarified their intentions in a secretive and hesitant way, and King Lu's face really became uncomfortable.He didn't dare to get angry openly, for fear that if it spread to the Queen Mother's ears, he would cause death, so he forced himself to suppress the anger in his chest, forced a smile, and dryly agreed.
