Chapter 95 Mother is more valuable than child (6)
Shangqingguan covers a vast area and has beautiful scenery.Enjoy the ritual of fasting and offering sacrifices here, and watch a group of Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes and holding magical instruments dancing in the field, singing ancient and melodious tunes, a bit like watching an opera.Qing Que seldom attends such occasions, so it can be regarded as an eye-opener.

The idlers were all cleared away, and Ankang took his younger sisters to play freely in the temple.Yongkang and the others seldom went out to disperse, and they followed the elder sister with great interest, pointing out the flowers and trees, the green water and green waves.

Empress Zhang and Qing Que were sitting in the pavilion, and the servant came to report, "Master Wuchen, please see me." With the official seal of Dao Lusi, His Majesty has granted him the title of Chunyi Daoist, and all princes and relatives will call him 'Old Immortal' when they meet each other."

"Daolu Division Zhengyin is also a sixth-rank official." Qing Que smiled.In this capital, a sixth-rank official is nothing, but this sixth-rank is not the other sixth-rank, this Shangqing temple master is a person who should not be underestimated.He can often see the emperor, at least for the moment, he is highly valued by the emperor.

A Taoist priest in a blue sermon robe came in and Jishou greeted him.He is about 40 years old, slender and thin, with delicate features, and he looks like a fairy.

Empress Zhang Wenyan asked about the details of the feast, turned her head and smiled kindly: "This fairy has boundless magic power, and he can distinguish between male and female fetuses with just one glance, which is very effective."

Qingque asked curiously: "Some doctors can tell whether a fetus is male or female by taking the pulse. I've heard of it. As for this immortal, doesn't he even need to take the pulse, just look at it?"

Empress Zhang was very sure, "Just take a look." After speaking, she looked at Wu Chen with a faint, almost impenetrable smile on her face.Wuchen understood, and made a very solemn look, "Princess, I have offended the poor." He apologized first, and then began to look Qing Que up and down.

Qingque looked at him with a smile.

Seeing her bright eyes as quiet as autumn water, Wu Chen felt a chill in his heart for some reason.Her eyes are like cold stars, like deep pools, bright and crystal clear yet unfathomable, being swept by her cold and quiet eyes, it makes people feel like a thorn in their backs.

Empress Zhang watched with a smile of interest.

"Wangfei will definitely find a man." After a long time, Wu Chen bowed and replied.

Empress Zhang's expression changed instantly.How did you become a so-so man, Wuchen, are you crazy?
Qing Que smiled lightly, and said leisurely: "As long as it's your own, what does it matter if the boy is a girl or not? Si Yin, if you make a mistake, I won't blame you. In short, it doesn't matter if a child is a boy or a girl." Daughter, His Royal Highness Prince Jin and I both like each other in general."

The sarcastic words made Empress Zhang feel a pain in her heart.

Empress Zhang, who was normally dignified and graceful, turned pale at this moment.

Qing Que didn't seem to see it, she still had a smile on her face, as warm as the March spring breeze blowing towards her face.

Empress Zhang stabilized her mind, forced a smile and said: "So, I really want to congratulate my younger brother and sister." Qing Que smiled sweetly, "When the child is one year old, we will invite you to establish a son, and then please speak a few words in front of Your Majesty. , get ready early." Don't think about my son, adoptive, beautiful you.

Empress Zhang's eyes flickered, "What's the matter, you don't have to ask your siblings, you have to do it like this." Qing Que thanked politely.

After Wu Chen withdrew, Empress Zhang talked about housework with Qing Que, "Third girl and fifth girl are also old, and His Majesty ordered to take care of their marriage affairs for them. Brothers and sisters, we are also sisters-in-law, do you have someone in mind?" "

Princess Yongkang ranked third, and Princess Wei Hui ranked fifth. They were the three girls and five girls in the mouth of Queen Zhang.

Qingque laughed, "The third girl and the fifth girl are both good-natured and can be loved. No matter which family gets it, it is their blessing. From now on, I will pay attention to families with a clean and honest family style. If there are good children, Come and tell your sister-in-law."

Empress Zhang glanced at her with a half-smile, "Marquis Wu Ding's youngest brother wrote to the Lord Shang, and His Majesty seems to agree. In this case, just find a good son. Brother and sister, what do you think of Duke Ning's great-grandson? "

"Ning Guogong has many great-grandsons, which one are you talking about?" Qing Que asked.

"The eldest grandson, Deng Zhihan." Empress Zhang didn't hide it.

Do you dare to go crazy, you wanted to be a matchmaker for Deng Zhiping a while ago, and now you are playing Deng Zhihan's idea, looking at Ningguo's mansion as a bully?Qingque couldn't help being furious.Although my surname is no longer Deng, Deng Qi is still my real father!
"I seem to have heard that Deng Zhihan has already engaged in marriage." Qingque said lightly, "but I can't remember clearly. I will see Uncle Deng another day and ask him carefully. Sister-in-law is considerate. Since she was pregnant, I This will lead to poor memory and easy to forget things.”

Empress Zhang was so angry that she didn't need to mention it.I just mentioned a candidate for a son-in-law, and you said you were engaged, and you are against me, right?Why are you pregnant with a child and have a bad memory, you are blatantly mocking me, you are blatantly mocking me.

Empress Zhang squeezed out a smile, "So, it's better to look at another house."

Qing Que's smile is extremely bright and cheerful, "The two girls are not very old, so choose slowly, and you must choose the right one. If we become a feudal clan next year, then we will work harder on my sister-in-law."

Empress Zhang smiled, "As the elder sister-in-law, it should be so."

Princess Ankang came back with her younger sisters to play around in the temple. Yongkang and Wei Hui's faces were flushed, obviously very happy.Even Xianyou, who was the youngest and the weakest, had a lot of ruddy face and a smile in his eyes.

Qingque looked at them with a smile, feeling extremely compassionate in her heart.These poor little girls are usually confined in the palace, and it is very difficult for them to come out to relax.General Qi Qingque is much stronger than them. When I was about their age, I was galloping on the grassland on a fine horse!

General Qi Qingque is freer than a princess.Qingque thought narcissistically.

The Shangqing Guanzhaijiao ended successfully.

After the feast, Wuchen avoided seeing Empress Zhang for a few days.However, he could hide from the first day of junior high school but not the fifteenth day of the junior high school. After all, he wanted to give Queen Zhang an explanation.

After Wu Chen presented the emperor with a life-prolonging spell, he was taken to a remote palace by his servants.

"How dare you say that she can get a man!" Queen Zhang said coldly.

Wuchen sighed, and slapped his head, "Your Highness, she will not only be a man, but her son will also be the future emperor, ruling the world."

"What?" Empress Zhang exclaimed sharply, "Emperor? Her son is the emperor, what about me? Didn't you once say that I have a son in my life!"

Wu Chen pinched his fingers and calculated, with a confused look on his face, "You do have a child in your destiny, and you can't be wrong. However, she is indeed a dragon, and she really has the momentum to rush to the ninth heaven..."

Empress Zhang was very puzzled, "What's going on here?" Her gaze suddenly turned sharp, and her voice became severe, "Could it be that her son will conspire against me and take the position from my son?"

There was a look of shame on Wuchen's face, "Buddha of Infinite Life! Poor people can't calculate it."

Empress Zhang looked at him fixedly, and said slowly: "Some of the things you said are really effective, but some are not. Some are extremely effective, and some are ambiguous at all. I believed it, Your Majesty also believed it, but today you said such a thing again."

Wu Chen solemnly said, "Your Highness must have a son in his destiny, that's for sure."

Empress Zhang was silent for a moment, and asked, "What is King Jin's face like?"

Wuchen frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head strangely, "Sometimes there is an emperor's air between King Jin's eyebrows, and sometimes it doesn't, it's really weird, weird."

Empress Zhang snorted, "How much the late Emperor loved him when he was alive, and the throne belongs to His Majesty. You say he has the air of an emperor, isn't it nonsense?"

Wu Chen smiled all over his face, "Poverty said what he said according to the truth, what he said was true."

Empress Zhang was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "Princess Jin will definitely give birth to the future emperor, there is no other way?"

Wuchen pinched his fingers with a solemn face and calculated for a long time, then said embarrassingly: "If you talk about a fetus, with a poor cultivation base, it is very easy to reincarnate. But the fetus she is carrying is full of domineering spirit, it is difficult Turn. Even if it is possible to turn, it will consume the physical strength of the poor and countless money."

"No matter how much money you spend, or how much effort you spend, just go around!" Queen Zhang gritted her teeth, "No matter what, this world cannot belong to others!"

Wu Chen was in a dilemma for a while, then Fang said: "Since Your Highness has given this order, I will give it a try. Whether it will succeed or not depends on God's will."

Empress Zhang couldn't help but encourage him a few words, Wuchen asked for countless belongings, and once again censored him, and retreated out without a sound.

"How credible is this Taoist priest's words?" Empress Zhang sat alone on the couch, thinking hard, "King Jin's imperial air sometimes fades, and Qi Qingque's son will definitely rule the world. After all, he is talking nonsense. Did you really see it?"

"It's true." Empress Zhang smiled mischievously, "Before my mother was pregnant with me, she went to the temple to pray for a child. When I met this Taoist on the road, he pointed at my mother and laughed, 'What's the use of praying for Buddha? Use? Please!' The mother looked unhappy, but he just talked to himself, "Your first child must be a daughter. When you give birth to this daughter, you will dream of the moon in your arms. When this daughter grows up, the wealth will be boundless." '. My mother was moved when she heard this, and gave him two liters of rice as reward, and secretly wrote down his appearance and so on."

"When I was born, my mother really dreamed of the moon in her arms. After I grew up, I was hired as the crown princess. This Taoist person, there is no doubt that he has magic power."

"I tried every means to find this Taoist, and my efforts were not in vain. As soon as he met, he concluded that I was destined to have a son, but it was a few years later. I will definitely have a son." Empress Zhang, who had a smooth sailing since she was a child, said to herself I am very confident in my good fortune.

There is a drizzle in the sky, bringing a little bit of coolness.In a quiet elegant room in Deyi Building, a young man was quietly alone, with a very anxious expression on his face.The letter has been sent, will she come or not?He felt for a while that she would come, and for a while he felt that she would not come, and he suffered a lot.

The door opened, and a veiled girl walked in lightly.Seeing that graceful figure, the young man's heart beat wildly.

The girl stood silently at the door for a moment, then slowly stretched out her hand, took off the veil covering her face, and revealed her true face.Her face is clear and delicate, her skin is as pure and crystal clear as the first snow in winter, and her bright eyes are shining with a moving light.

"Ayang!" The young man walked two steps forward in surprise and joy, and shouted in a trembling voice.

"Deng Zhihan, stop and don't go any further!" The girl's small face was serious, and she spoke sternly, "My parents and elder brother are right next door, if you dare to act rashly, I will shout, and they will break in through the door."

Deng Zhihan stopped obediently, and looked at Xue Yang tenderly and greedily, "I listen to you." I haven't seen her for a few months, and she looks even better.Ayang, you are so beautiful, no wonder I think about it day and night, and never forget it.

Xue Yang frowned and said, "I can only come out for a short while, if you have something to say, speak quickly."

Deng Zhihan woke up like a dream, "Well, for some reason, news came out in the palace that they wanted me to confess to the Lord. How can I confess to the Lord? I... I only have you in my heart, how can I marry someone else? Ayang, you Marry me!" Deng Zhihan begged with eager eyes.

Xue Yang felt hot on his face, and spat: "Nonsense! There is no reason to propose to a girl's family without a parent in the hall! If you have the heart, go to the central matchmaker and mess with me."

Deng Zhihan wanted to stomp his feet anxiously, "But my father and my family forbid it."

"My parents won't allow it, so the marriage will naturally fail." Xue Yang was displeased, "If they don't allow it, I won't agree."

Deng Zhihan looked at Xue Yang pleadingly, his eyes were full of pain, "I...I think about you day and night, and I dream of you in my sleep... But, my mother is so kind to me, I can't abandon her , really can’t. Ayang, I can do anything for you, except hurt my mother..."

"Your mother can't hurt, but my mother can do it?" Xue Yang blushed angrily, "My mother... was robbed of her husband and son-in-law by your mother, and was forced to leave Yunnan. It was so miserable. My mother said, If I dare to recognize your mother as a mother-in-law, she will kill herself by wiping her neck, and will no longer live in this world. How can I be an unfilial daughter..." Xue Yang hid his face.

Deng Zhihan was at a loss for a while.Her mother and her mother are mortal enemies, what should be done?What should I do?

There was a faint voice calling Xue Yang outside. Xue Yang quickly adjusted his makeup, put on his veil again, and said in a low voice, "I'm leaving. Let's not see each other again in the future."

Deng Zhihan's heart was pierced, "No, it's impossible, I must see you, Ayang, I must see you."

His painful and warm voice, hearing it in Xue Yang's ears, actually made her feel pity and sweetness. "This man is doomed in my life." Xue Yang was in a daze, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

She suddenly felt that she shouldn't laugh like this, that she was frivolous, disrespectful, and unreserved.After thinking about it, there is a veil covering it, and I feel a little relieved.

"You are going to be the Lord, how can you see me?" Xue Yang gave a low laugh, turned around and left in a hurry.

Deng Zhihan chased him to the door, but he didn't dare to go out - the Xue family's private room was next door, if he went out now, he would run into Xue Neng or Xue Hu if he didn't make sure.

Deng Zhihan stood blankly, with the pure and fragrant rose fragrance wafting around him, it smelled very good, it was very useful, and it was endless.

"This is the scent left by Ayang." He felt infatuated, "This is the place where Ayang just stood. Ayang, Ayang..."

Lord?No, I don't want to marry the princess, I either marry Ayang, or I don't marry for life.

Deng Zhihan listened attentively, then walked out of the house briskly, and returned to Duke Ningguo's mansion.

Ning Guogong looked impatient, "What kind of princess is there? Princesses are easy to marry? I spent most of my life as a soldier and earned this family business. In the end, I have to kowtow to her when I marry a great-grandson-in-law? Hurry up and give Ayang to her." Decide, without further delay."

Deng Qi smiled wryly, "Why am I procrastinating? Why would I want to procrastinate? I wish I could marry A Yang into the family tomorrow and drink daughter-in-law tea tomorrow. But the Xue family is not happy, so what can I do?"

Ning Guogong reached out and took down the horsewhip hanging from the wall, and walked around the room twice with the horsewhip in his hand, with a pensive expression on his face.After turning around twice, she stopped, "Isn't Xue Neng just going to divorce Shen Mo? According to him. I would rather divorce Shen Mo than marry a princess."

The two princesses, Yongkang and Weihui, who are choosing a son-in-law, are not of the same mother as the emperor.Princess Yongkang's biological mother died early, and Princess Wei Hui's biological mother was a court lady who had no support in the palace.Marrying such a princess won't bring any benefits at all, it will do a lot of harm but no benefit.

Since the palace intended to choose Deng Zhihan as the son-in-law, Deng Zhihan either quickly got engaged, or resigned himself to marrying the princess.No matter how great Duke Ning's military exploits were, he was only a courtier in front of the emperor. If the emperor opened his mouth, would Duke Ning have the courage to tell the truth, "Your Majesty, the Deng family does not want to marry the princess"?Can't.He could only apologize sincerely, "Deng Zhihan has already engaged a girl from a certain family."

Which girl?This person can't be found right away, it can only be A Yang.Because although Ning Guogong's mansion had discussed the eldest daughter of the Zhao family for Deng Zhihan in the past, but in the end it was nothing. It is actually very difficult to find a suitable eldest grandson's wife for marriage at this moment.

Although there are many daughters-in-law of famous families in the capital, the only one who is well-matched in age and appearance and has discussed marriage is the eldest lady of Yangwuhou Mansion.If the Deng family wants to marry Deng Zhihan, there is no one more suitable than A Yang.

"You can agree to whatever Xue can mention. In short, the marriage between Brother Han and A Yang must be finalized." Ning Guogong said briefly.

"Divorce Shen Mo in order to marry A Yang?" Deng Qi's headache was about to explode, "Grandfather, isn't this too ridiculous? In this way, there has been a rift between the two children from the very beginning, how can it be?" Kazumi?"

How much do I love Yu'er?I can die for her, I can risk my life for her, but if I want to marry Yu'er and hurt my own mother, I will never do it anyway.I am like this, and Brother Han must be the same. No matter how much he likes Ayang, he will not wrong his own mother, the mother who gave birth to him and raised him, just to marry his sweetheart.
