Chapter 174 Choice
"Queen Mother, I..." Concubine Xian couldn't hold back her face, so she could only say dryly: "Today it has been snowing heavily, and the palace is gloomy and cold. I can't bear it, so I came out for a stroll."
The Empress Dowager's eyes touched the handprints on Changsheng's face, and then glanced at Wei Yue, "Your niece looks pretty good, but Aijia suddenly remembered that the son of the Minister of Rites is not yet married, and it is just right for you as a niece."
Changsheng heard the words of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites sound familiar, and only remembered after thinking about it. Wasn't it the fat man in green clothes who was beaten by her late at night when she first entered Chang'an?
The appearance of being immersed in wine is not worthy of Wei Yue.
Concubine Xian shook her hands, and said quickly: "Queen Mother, I'm afraid this matter is..."
"Speaking of which, don't you feel that you need to exercise your muscles and bones?" The Queen Mother said in a flattering way: "It just so happens that the books in the Chongwen Museum should also be brought out to dry, so you can bring someone to do it."
Concubine Xian's pupils contracted suddenly, she looked at the Queen Mother in disbelief and said, "Queen Mother, how can a concubine do such a despicable thing."
The Empress Dowager immediately turned her gaze over, "When the late emperor was alive, he took me to the Chongwen Museum to sort out the historical sites. Now I want you to go, it's an insult to your identity."
The concubine Xian couldn't bear the crime of despising the former emperor, so she immediately knelt down and said, "My concubine dare not."
"Since you don't dare, then do it." The Empress Dowager said lightly, "Ayu, send some manpower to Concubine Xian, so that she won't be overwhelmed."
Concubine Xian swallowed her breath, knowing that the Empress Dowager sent someone to watch her, but she didn't dare to take a breath.
When the Queen Mother said these words, she was so majestic that no one else dared to say a word.
After she gave the order, she turned around to leave, turned her head and frowned and said, "I haven't followed up yet."
Only then did Changsheng hum, and followed the Queen Mother.
After they walked away, Concubine Xian stood up abruptly, slapped the maid, and said through gritted teeth: "You bastard, why didn't you remind me when the Queen Mother is here?"
"Your Majesty, calm down, Your Majesty, calm down." The maid immediately knelt down, and said in awe and fear, "My maidservant really didn't see it."
They were standing at a corner, so people walking from the other side would naturally not be able to see them.
"Don't be angry, aunt." Wei Yue was a little frightened as she saw this kind of battle for the first time.
When she was in Longzhou before, she said one thing and no one dared to say another.Not long ago when she came to Chang'an, Concubine Xian pampered her everywhere, she only realized now that no one in this world can live comfortably.With such a high status as her aunt, she still has to suffer and swallow her anger.
Concubine Xian looked at the place where the Queen Mother had gone, and asked: "Xiaoyue, do you know why the Queen Mother can bully me like this?"
"Perhaps the Empress Dowager doesn't like you?" Wei Yue has always said one thing and two things, but now she has learned to think three points in her heart when speaking, after all, she has matured a lot.
Concubine Xian showed a sarcastic smile, "Because of power."
……
When we arrived at Shoukang Palace, Changsheng’s buttocks were still warm, when he heard the Queen Mother ask: “Changsheng, do you know why the Ai family can treat Concubine Xian like this today?”
An idea popped up in Changsheng's mind, but he didn't say it.
I only heard the Empress Dowager say lightly: "Because of power."
Chang Sheng looked up and said in silence for a while, "I will listen to your teachings."
"Changsheng, Aijia understands your temperament too well." The queen mother said flatly: "You are used to being free, and you have never felt that power is so great. Today Aijia will tell you that if you are not the empress of the Cui family, today you will be a sage." Even if the imperial concubine kills you with a stick, no one will dare to say no."
"I understand." Changsheng said bluntly: "I have been honored with all the glory of the Cui family since I was born, and I can live freely until today, mostly because of the Cui family's blood flowing in my body. Grandma, I never Dare to forget."
The Empress Dowager's eyes suddenly sharpened, "You never dare to forget, the Ai family asked you. After a hundred years from the Ai family, how will you deal with yourself? Concubine Xian is right. The Cui family has not sent anyone to Chang'an for many years. If Without Ai's family, many people would probably forget the glory of Qing and Cui."
"What do you want me to do?" Chang Sheng asked with lowered eyebrows.
The Empress Dowager looked at her low-browed, pleasing eyes, and felt a little headache, "Longsheng, no one will be able to protect you after a hundred years of Aijia. You have become the young minister of Dali Temple, and you don't know how many people you will offend in the future. One mistake may Why don't you understand the fate of being decapitated!"
Changsheng knelt in front of the Queen Mother and said seriously: "I know what you said, I am not stupid. Since I have chosen this path, I will naturally find a way to go on. Besides, I have been wandering for decades. Others don't know my identity, but aren't I living a good life?"
She never wants to be contaminated with power.It wasn't for anyone that she entered Dali Temple, the queen mother wanted her to hold something to protect herself.Or maybe she wants her to live in peace, she understands all of this.
But one person has one way of life, if she is just a simple and ignorant daughter of the prime minister.Embroidering flowers every day, going shopping, the days passed like this, but she didn't want to live like this.
"The Ai family agrees with you to be an official in Dali Temple, but you have to agree to one thing." The Queen Mother finally said what she wanted to say after laying out the story for so long, "The marriage needs to be decided by the Ai family. Aijia will ask His Majesty to make you Princess Wei."
What a great honor it is to have the title of Weiguo.Today, His Majesty only has one daughter who is born of the queen, and the title of Princess Ronghua is only the son of Antai.If Changsheng is named the Princess of Wei, no matter who succeeds to the throne in the future, they can't do anything wrong with her.
In other words, with the word Weiguo, Changsheng will surely spend his life safely and happily.
But according to the ancestral system, once a princess is crowned, Changsheng can no longer be the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
After all, the Queen Mother just gave Changsheng two choices.One, immediately resign from the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and two, let you be an official for a few years, and you have to resign when the queen mother bestows a marriage.
The latter is just a buffer...
Chang Sheng observed the Empress Dowager's expression, knowing that there was no room for change in this matter, he gritted his teeth and said, "Grandmother, you have to promise me one thing."
"Say it." Knowing what she said, the queen mother agreed.
Changsheng immediately said: "My marriage, you have to ask me to agree to it before you give me the marriage."
"Why not." The queen mother smiled gratifiedly: "The Ai family can't force you to marry someone you don't like."
Changsheng suddenly thought of Wei Yue being given a marriage, and was about to say something, when he saw the queen mother leaning on the soft couch, he said a little tiredly: "It's done, let's stop here today. Go shopping by yourself, The flowers in the plum garden are blooming well."
Changsheng had no choice but to resign.
When she left the palace gate, the Queen Mother straightened up and said: "Xiao Wu, now your wish has been fulfilled."
