Hou Mansion has a daughter to marry

Chapter 38 The Queen Mother's Mind

Concubine Zhongqin took Xiao Yu back with some apprehension and anticipation.

Xiao Yu rushed into the palace as soon as he got off the carriage, impatient to tell Xiao Yuan the good news.Concubine Zhongqin hasn't seen Xiao Yu so happy for a long time, and the hesitation in her heart suddenly disappeared. As long as Xiao Yu can get what she wants, it doesn't matter if she comes to be this villain...Princess Zhongqin thought for a while , and went to Prince Zhong's study.

Pushing the door open, Prince Zhong was reading the book with relish. Princess Zhongqin understood that Prince Zhong must be reading books about monsters in the mountains again, so she thought of playing tricks, and walked behind Prince Zhong carefully, Unexpectedly, he called out "Prince".Prince Zhong was taken aback suddenly, his breath was stuck in his throat, and his heart was beating wildly.When she was angry, she turned her head and saw her princess pursing her lips and laughing secretly, and blurted out: "Are you going to murder your husband?"

Concubine Zhongqin pretended to be wronged and said: "My lord, you are fascinated by reading..." After finishing speaking, she couldn't help but glance at the book hidden in Prince Zhong's hand.Prince Zhong had a guilty conscience. At that time, he was looking at the monsters in the mountains, but he was frightened by Princess Zhong when he saw the exciting part... He is not a good-looking person who is not greedy for drinks. He just likes to read books about ghosts. But he always made jokes about him, saying that he was not like a prince, but like an idler in the city. Prince, it is really aggrieved to read a favorite book and hide it.Prince Zhong didn't want to lose face in front of his concubine, coughed lightly and said: "Prince Wang came to look for this prince, why?"

Concubine Zhongqin laughed secretly when she saw this, thinking of what the queen mother said, she immediately calmed down, and said to Prince Zhong: "My lord, the queen mother intends to let Yu'er marry Miss Xie's family... let Xie Changning marry Yu'er in the name of Xie Changan ..."

Upon hearing this, Prince Zhong frowned and said: "This kind of behavior is really immoral..." Forcing such an outstanding girl to marry her stupid son with a bad reputation, alas... For Xiao Yu, Prince Zhong also feels distressed. Although he was a bit tough on Xiao Yu, he still had plans for Xiao Yu in his heart.Xiao Yu is obsessed with Xie Chang'an, how could Prince Zhong not know, if Xiao Yu can get what he wants... that's all, the Empress Dowager decided that he would not allow him to talk about it.

Hearing that Prince Zhong just let out a long sigh, the princess knew what it meant, she didn't know whether to say to Prince Zhong or to herself: "Yu'er likes Xie Chang'an so much, she will be good to her after staying... I see This girl is not bad, but I like her very much, so I should treat her like my own daughter, and it will comfort me as much as I want..."

In this room, Xiao Yu found Xiao Yuan in the garden. After a long distance, he shouted happily: "Brother, the imperial grandmother said to let me..." Before he finished speaking, he nervously covered his mouth and waited aside The servant waved his hand and said, "Get back quickly."

When Xiao Yu approached, Xiao Yuan asked with a smile: "What does Yu'er want to tell elder brother? Why are you so nervous?"

Xiao Yu whispered in his ear: "Brother, the imperial grandmother said that I should marry Chang'an...Brother, I can marry Chang'an now!"

Xiao Yu asked suspiciously: "Why would the imperial grandmother say that?" Now that Xie Chang'an's life and death are uncertain, why would the Empress Dowager agree to Yu'er like this?Besides, Xie Changning and Yan Qinglan are engaged again... What's going on?

Xiao Yu's mind was simple, and he said happily: "Yu'er doesn't know, when Yu'er was eating cakes, the emperor's grandmother and mother said it."

Seeing Xiao Yu so happy, Xiao Yuan didn't continue to question, but said: "Yu'er, good boy, you can't tell others about this, you know? Xie Chang'an can't either."

"Brother, Yu'er knows that the emperor's grandmother said that no one can tell except elder brother, otherwise I won't be allowed to marry Chang'an!" Xiao Yuan felt relieved after hearing this.Xiao Yuan wanted to understand what the Empress Dowager meant, so he only had a few words with Xiao Yu before going to find Princess Zhongqin.

After dismissing the servant, Xiao Yuan asked, "Mother, is what Yu'er said true?"

Concubine Zhongqin nodded, and told Xiao Yuan what the Empress Dowager meant. Xiao Yuan was startled, not wanting that the kind-hearted imperial grandmother would have such means... Thinking of the previous "encounters", Xiao Yuan could easily see Yan Qinglan's relationship with "" "Xie Changning" has long been in love with each other, and now they are so good at fighting mandarin ducks... Xiao Yuan sighed secretly, it is a pity that Yan Qinglan, who is so beautiful and beautiful, and "Xie Changning", who is as beautiful as a fairy!
"Yuan'er, the person who sent someone to check on Marquis Rong An got news that Marquis Rong An invited a lot of female teachers a while ago, and even brought Xie Changning's nanny back to the mansion..." Rong It's impossible for Anhou's abnormal movements not to arouse suspicion...

Xiao Yuan thought to himself, strung it all together, and came up with an idea in his heart... If so, Rong Anhou is too bold!Because there is no definite evidence to prove it, Xiao Yuan did not express his idea and said: "Mother, let's take a look, anyway, the emperor's grandmother said so..."

Inside the palace.

The empress dowager said she was right, and invited the emperor to the Palace of Compassion and Ning that night, and told the emperor what she wanted.

The emperor hesitated for a while when he heard the words, if he acted like this, he would really be too sorry for Yan Junwang and Rong Anhou, sorry is the next thing, he was afraid that Rong Anhou would feel resentment in his heart and stir up trouble for a while.

Seeing this, the queen mother said slowly: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that Yu'er broke his brain in the imperial garden? If the crown prince was not jealous, he pushed Yu'er down the rockery when he was not prepared, and Yu'er fell because of it. Out of my mind... If it wasn't like this, the current Yu'er would definitely be no worse than Prince Yan's son!"

Back then it was the prince who was jealous of Xiao Yu who was very smart at a young age and always did the best in his homework, so he couldn't help being jealous and took advantage of Xiao Yu's unpreparedness to plot against him, but because he was the prince, Prince Zhong could only admit it with tears in his eyes. It was an accident... So far, the Empress Dowager felt very sorry for Xiao Yu, and she looked down on the Crown Prince very much. How could the prince of a country be so narrow-minded, how could he take on the important task of governing the country, and even wanted the Emperor to appoint another crown prince...

At this moment, the empress dowager brought up the old matter again, and the emperor felt guilty, thinking that his ice-snow-smart nephew became so stupid, he was also responsible, so he agreed.The emperor couldn't help but think that if there hadn't been the accident back then, Xiao Yu would still be a good son like Yan Qinglan now... Thinking of Yan Qinglan, the emperor couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and said: "It's a pity for Yan Qinglan... "

"Don't worry, your majesty, the Ai family will personally act as a matchmaker for the prince of Yanjun, and ask the prince of Yanjun to marry another high-ranking girl as compensation." It is also a great honor to have the queen mother act as a matchmaker in person. Smart, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can only knock out your teeth and swallow it in your stomach...

It would be embarrassing for the emperor, so the queen mother personally sent her confidants to Rong'anhou's mansion to convey her intentions.Marquis Rong An was stunned when he heard the words, and really couldn't understand why the Empress Dowager made things difficult for Xie Chang'an at the birthday banquet, but in the blink of an eye she wanted to betroth Xie Chang'an to Xiao Yu... But you must know that the Empress Dowager always loves Xiao Yu, so it shouldn't be Pick a noble girl from a famous family for Xiao Yu?
The old lady Xie was so angry that she almost fainted. Fortunately, Mrs. Lin on the side helped the old lady Xie in time, and carefully helped the old lady Xie to calm down. Mother Liu handed the tea with discernment.The old lady Xie regretted that at the beginning, it was because of Yan Qinglan, the grandson-in-law, that she had to bear the pain to make her most beloved granddaughter look like this... In the end, the royal family was so bullying and wanted to marry Xie Changan to a fool. Old lady Xie hated it very much , with both hands tightly grasping the pear blossom wood handrail, the veins can't help popping up and the roots are distinct.

Although Lin on the side couldn't bear to say anything, her eyes were red quietly. Her An'er had suffered so much, and she could live a good life soon, but she didn't want to encounter such bad news, married a fool, An'er What hope do you have for the rest of your life?my poor Ann...

The Queen Mother's confidants saw Rong Anhou and Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Lin's daring and unspoken reactions, so they knew that most of them disagreed with the Queen Mother's intentions, and immediately flattered them: "Your Majesty, Old Madam, can you get along with the Tian family?" Getting married is something no one can ask for... and the Holy Majesty has also agreed, if Miss Xie's family marries Prince Zhong's son, he will definitely use you, Lord Marquis..."

Marquis Rong An was frightened at first, and said angrily when he heard the words: "If I want to marry my daughter to Prince Zhong's young son in order to get an official career, then I don't want to!" Chang'an suffered... Mrs. Xie didn't say a word, just watched with cold eyes.

Seeing Marquis Rong An's lack of cooperation, the visitor said coldly: "Master Hou, since the Empress Dowager has such a heart, why are you so stubborn about accepting the Empress Dowager's affection? Anyway, Prince Zhong is also a compatriot of the Holy Mother How can a direct younger brother be inferior to that Yan County King?"

Seeing that Marquis Rong An was still unmoved, the visitor lost his patience, and said with a half smile but not a smile: "Marquis Rong An is eager to protect her daughter, I just hope that Marquis Rong An can figure it out for yourself, is it important to be an official career, or is it important? ..." After saying that, he sneered and walked away Shi Shiran.

For a moment, only Marquis Rong An, Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Lin were left speechless. Everyone knew that the Empress Dowager was bound to win, and they would not give up easily...

Lin sobbed and said: "Master, you must not agree to the queen mother's request... An'er has suffered enough, if she is allowed to marry that fool, An'er's rest of her life will be ruined!"

Rong Anhou was very upset. Hearing Lin's crying became more and more annoying, he said: "An'er is my direct daughter, how could I push her into the fire pit? I'm afraid...the queen mother will not give up easily, the queen mother loves her the most It’s that Xiao Yu!” After saying that, he couldn’t help turning his eyes to Mrs. Xie, as the old lady of Xie’s family, Mrs. Xie is the one who can make the most decisions, and Mrs. Xie’s foresight is still in the waiting room of Rong An. superior……

Old Madam Xie loves Xie Chang'an so much, so she doesn't want Xie Chang'an to marry Xiao Yu, so Xie Chang'an's previous hardships will be in vain, and her painstaking efforts will be in vain... But, the official career of Marquis Rong An is really important. Do you want to give it up?Mrs. Xie felt stuck in her heart for a moment...

"That's all, let's put this matter aside for the time being, and let me ask Chang'an before I talk about it!" After the words fell, he got up and went back to the upper room.Marquis Yu Rong'an and Lin Shi looked at each other in dismay. The old lady Xie was decisive in the past and would never be so hesitant. This matter is really difficult...
