Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 91
Your Majesty's princess, the most beloved is the late empress's carefree princess Baili Feng'er, who was married to Lin Yunxi by the queen mother of the previous life.Huo Mingzhu is not familiar with that Wuyou princess, she has always been skeptical about people and things, so when she heard about Lin Yunxi's marriage, her only thought was worry.

What can be concluded is that Yunxi died in battle due to the framing of Baili Zonglu in her previous life, and even Huo Huaiyu knew about it, presumably the General Loyalty's House also got involved, so, can that Princess Wuyou get rid of the ties?

The entire imperial court is a huge net. In the past and present, she, Yunxi and Pingyang Houfu are just an ant on it, and they may fall into it at any time and cannot break free.

"Miss?" Su Hui whispered to her from the side, and Huo Mingzhu came back to her senses.

"What?" Huo Mingzhu asked subconsciously.

Su Hui lowered her voice and asked strangely: "Miss, what's the matter with you? Why are you upset when you hear that Master Biao is getting married? Could it be that Miss doesn't want Master Biao to marry another lady?"

Huo Mingzhu made a gesture to hit her: "Sulu, you bloody girl, what nonsense are you talking about?"

She never felt like a child towards Lin Yunxi, they grew up together, and later went to the border town, and lived and ate together in the same place for a few years, they were closer than Huo Huaiyu.Huo Mingzhu would naturally be annoyed by Sulu talking nonsense like this.

"My dear lady, please forgive me!" Su Yu dodged and hid behind Steward Lin, begging for mercy while muttering: "Miss only knows that she is open-minded, but I don't know if Master Biao is also like that Thinking about it..."

If it really is a brother-sister relationship, it's fine, the young master Biao is obedient to the young lady, and everything is up to the young lady. Every year's birthday, she never forgets to leave a gift, mention it in the family letter, and think about it during the march. But I heard what Cheng Shuhao said, but her young lady is a wooden person, and she never knows what the young master thinks.

Sighing, Su Yu had no choice but to persuade Lang to concubine or not.

They made a fuss and went all the way to Mrs. Lin's garden. Mrs. Lin's dowry girl, Nanny Song, was coming out to talk to the wives. When she saw Housekeeper Lin bringing Huo Mingzhu, she showed her face and said, "Oh! , Miss Ajin is here, the old ancestor has not been in good shape lately, so he didn't wake up until now!"

Huo Mingzhu hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with the old ancestor? Does it matter?"

Nanny Song smiled, and walked in with Huo Mingzhu's hand, and said: "Don't worry, girl, it's just an old problem. The imperial doctor has come to see it and said it's just a matter of recuperating. This old problem of our ancestors! , It’s a heart disease, the girl should try to persuade her old man..."

Huo Mingzhu suddenly remembered that it will be her mother's birthday in a few days, the person who passed away has no birthday to speak of, but it is the meat that fell from the stomach of the ancestors, and only the mother remembers the daughter's birthday clearly , the ancestors were sick because of this, and it can be straightened out.

Huo Mingzhu thought about it and said, "Nurse Song meant it because of my mother?"

Nanny Song nodded and sighed: "Miss guessed it right. Ever since the eldest lady left, these years, whenever I think of you, my ancestors feel unwilling to eat and sleep, and only think about you."

No matter how invincible Huo Mingzhu was, she was really sad at the moment. If she hadn't eavesdropped on the corner, she would almost have thought that her grandmother was just depressed because she missed her mother. scandal.

The eldest daughter and the younger daughter are all her own flesh and blood, so she can't tell others, and she has to hide it in her heart for the sake of the Hou Mansion's face. How can she not get sick after a long time?
Huo Mingzhu suddenly became inexplicably worried - sooner or later she would make Lin Ruyi and Huo Zhengde pay the price, sooner or later she would let the entire General's Mansion be buried with her dead mother, then, would grandma be sad?At her age, can she withstand the blow?

The villain never thinks about these things, he only cares about his own happiness, Huo Mingzhu thought, she can't be a villain.

"Girl, don't mention it to your ancestors, just say something happy." Before entering the door, Nanny Song instructed again.

"Naturally..." Huo Mingzhu smiled, then turned around the screen and came to the inner room.

Mrs. Lin was letting the maidservant comb her hair, which was already full of silver threads.

"Who's talking outside?" Mrs. Lin's hearing is still good, she just asked without turning her head when she saw some movement outside.

"Old ancestor..." Huo Mingzhu responded.

Mrs. Lin hurriedly turned her head and saw Huo Mingzhu, her slightly haggard face looked much better, and she stretched out a hand with a smile on her face: "Hey, my son, why are you here?"

Huo Mingzhu went up to meet her, held her hand, squatted down beside her grandmother, and said with a smile: "Old Ancestor, Ah Jin misses you? So I came to see you."

Mrs. Lin touched Huo Mingzhu's head, and her brows eased a little: "Only you girl still misses my old bone. If it were your sister and your aunt, you wouldn't want to come here again."

The old man always has his own sidelines. In the General's Mansion, Mrs. Huo accused Huo Mingzhu of being negligent, but in Pingyang Hou's Mansion, Mrs. Lin always looked at Lin Ruyi's mother and daughter.

Naturally, Huo Mingzhu could not follow Lin Ruyi and Huo Huaiyu to slander Lin Ruyi and Huo Huaiyu. Instead, she wanted to explain to them: "Mother is very busy recently, and Huaiyu also has a husband who comes to teach piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. If there is no time, there will be time. No wonder the ancestors."

Mrs. Lin was not in the mood to care whether Lin Ruyi's mother and daughter were free, she just sighed: "Let's not talk about the two of them, let's talk about something else... Jin, have you heard about Yunxi's marriage?"

"Why did the old ancestor talk about this so well? Are you going to find a good wife for Yunxi?" Huo Mingzhu asked pretending not to know, the old man always wanted to find something to say, so he had to let them.

Mrs. Lin looked not so happy and said: "Yes, after all, he is not young, but it is hard to find such a good wife. I have seen all the ladies in the capital, and I am not satisfied. The current situation is even more serious. It worries me, His Majesty the Emperor intends to marry Yunxi, and Yunxi will become the emperor's son-in-law tomorrow, and our Pingyanghou Mansion will be over."

"It's over?" Huo Mingzhu listened carefully to what her grandmother said, but she didn't want Mrs. Lin's words to be surprising. Before she could think clearly, she just asked: "How could it be? The ancestor was too worried."

The maids and women were all pushed away, Mrs. Lin leaned back on the recliner, and Huo Mingzhu pinched her legs for her, and she continued: "The only ten thousand households in the whole world are our Lin family. The old man of the Lin family followed Emperor Gaozu to conquer the world and won his position today. But my Lin family is weak, and in this generation, there is only one male, Yunxi. It is reasonable to say that Yunxi should inherit the family business and take charge of the military power. After getting married, Yun Xi became the son-in-law of the royal family, to prevent the misfortune of his relatives, what do you think His Majesty will do?"

Huo Mingzhu seemed to understand, and blurted out: "Take back the military power of the Marquis of Pingyang, and let Yunxi be a prince-in-law in name only, instead of a general guarding the border? Although it seems that the title is very high, it is actually an empty shelf?"

"Oh, that's exactly it!" Mrs. Lin patted the back of the chair, her expression becoming more and more sad.

Huo Mingzhu never thought so much about these political matters in her previous life, she thought that no matter how bad Baili Fenger was, she was also the daughter of the late empress, and as the son-in-law of the royal family, Lin Yunxi should have a more noble status and be more beneficial to the Marquis of Pingyang.Therefore, when Lin Yunxi came to ask about her marriage, she only let him decide for himself, but obviously, it still failed in the end.

In her previous life, her grandmother never discussed these important matters with her, but this time she told Huo Mingzhu all of them without any concealment.

"Old Ancestor, no matter how worried you are, the imperial decree cannot be disobeyed. Is there any way to prevent Yunxi from becoming the royal son-in-law?" Huo Mingzhu said what was in her heart.

Mrs. Lin nodded: "Yes, this is exactly what worries me. If you want Yun Xi not to marry the royal princess, there are only two ways. Such a licentious, how can a princess be willing to marry him again?"

"But in this way, His Majesty can convict Yunxi at any time. If his conduct is bad, how can he entrust him with military power?" Huo Mingzhu vetoed it, thinking it was inappropriate.

"In this case, there is only the second method left. Before His Majesty bestows the marriage, marry Yunxi first." Mrs. Lin said again.

Huo Mingzhu frowned again: "The second method may not be feasible, if you know that His Majesty bestowed a marriage and married Yunxi, Your Majesty will hear the news, and you may blame the Marquis for not taking him seriously, right? Is there any young lady who dares to fight the royal princess?"

Mrs. Lin didn't think so, "That's not necessarily the case." When she spoke, she looked at Huo Mingzhu, and her eyes, which somewhat resembled Huo Mingzhu's, burst into flames: "If Yunxi has been engaged since childhood, there is a What about your childhood sweetheart, Baby Kiss?"

Doll pro?Childhood sweetheart?

When Huo Mingzhu saw her grandmother looking at her, no matter how dull she was, she should understand: "The old ancestor means... me?"

"Yes!" Mrs. Lin nodded with satisfaction, dragged Huo Mingzhu to sit down in front of her, and said with a smile: "My son, you grew up with Yunxi since childhood, and your uncle is no different from your biological father. There is not even the slightest concern. The grandmother of others dare not say that this child, Yunxi, will treat you wholeheartedly. If you are married, even if it comes to the Queen Mother, you will not be able to convict the Pingyang Houfu. Look with both eyes, you can't go wrong."

"Old Ancestor, I..." Huo Mingzhu was choked, and could not continue a sentence. She never thought that one day, even her beloved grandmother would think of using her to resolve the crisis in the Pingyang Hou Mansion.Not for anything else, but for her marital affairs.

Just because the Marquis of Pingyang needs her to marry Yunxi, so as to stabilize the power of the Marquis of Pingyang, she wants to marry Yunxi, no matter whether she and Yunxi have a relationship between men and women, it is strange that her grandmother is willing to tell her everything .

After the changes in her previous life, Huo Mingzhu became more sensitive and suspicious, and she did not hesitate to think of anyone and everything in the most terrifying and pessimistic way. Is keeping her lonely just for today's use?
She is a girl, of course she should sacrifice for the family, and of course she should not think about whether she has love and belonging, whether it is the father's family or the mother's family, she is actually just a pawn.
