The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 134
Although the queen's question was plain, the old lady of Ouyang's family laughed and said: "The empress is really good at remembering, and my wife also remembers saying that when Lord Di returned to Suzhou to settle down, the wife's family wanted to talk to Lord Di. There is friendship, and I went to pay a special visit. Mrs. Di told her ministers herself that her four grandchildren have already settled down. Could it be that one of them is Mrs. Xing's son-in-law?"

Lu's complexion did not change, and he just smiled slightly: "Our family, how dare we cling to the grandson of the elder's direct relative. This young master is the concubine of the fourth-bedroom master. He has been studying with Master Di since he was a child. He is pure and filial. It is said that the reputation is very good, and the minister's wife only has one daughter, so I dare not expect anything else, I only hope that she will marry well and live happily!"

The queen couldn't help nodding when she heard the words, and looked at Xing Xiuyan again, her eyes became a little more satisfied: "Madam Xing's words touched my heart, the third princess is getting married now, I am worried day and night, I am afraid of her Married in the past, she was not liked by her mother-in-law. Both wives have been daughter-in-laws, so they naturally understand what I am worried about. The third princess was not born by me, but she was raised by my side when I was a child, and I also treat her as a child. Treat her like a jewel in your palm, how can you not hope for her well? But, having said that, betrothing your daughter is not a trivial matter, Mrs. Xing should not be too hasty. I would like to say something to the point, although Mrs. Di has a good family style, the concubine is not a good match after all. .You marry high and marry low, you Xing family are also people with status now, why don't you think more about it?"

The queen waved at Xing Xiuyan: "Good boy, come to my palace!"

Xiuyan clearly felt the figure of the girl in pink beside her tremble slightly, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she walked forward shyly.

The queen looked at Xing Xiuyan carefully again, and felt that although this little girl was not as good as the young lady of Ouyang's family, she was still remarkable, and she would not let those delicate faces in the harem.

The queen's gaze shifted from Xiuyan back to Lu Shi: "It is said that this palace has racked its brains to find this marriage for the third princess. It depends on whether the child is good or not, and whether the other party's family status is high or not. General Ning Yuan has the merit of saving him, and he and the emperor have grown up as playmates, such a family background is not picky, and his wife is famously virtuous, what else is there to be dissatisfied with!"

Mrs. Ouyang hurriedly laughed and said, "The Empress is far-sighted, and her vision is sure to be unmistakable."

"Hey, although General Ningyuan's family is good, there is one thing that makes me hesitate!" The queen looked helplessly at Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Ouyang.Xiuyan's heart skipped a beat, she knew that the empress had just gotten to the point, what exactly did the other party want to do?
The queen sighed: "The third princess has been spoiled by Ben Gong since she was a child, she is too naive! She is fine in the palace, with Ben Gong protecting her, no one dares to do anything to her, but when she went to her in-law's house, she felt wronged. I dare not interfere in the inner house of General Ningyuan's family. Therefore, I thought, choose a smart lady from these noble families, and marry the third princess to the general's mansion. I will not treat her badly, as long as this If a girl likes to serve the three princesses, I will promise her a lifetime of glory and wealth."

Lu's expression changed drastically, and the old lady Ouyang didn't expect the queen to make such a request!
We are not fools!The third princess is not favored at all, and the queen will never order the lady of the family to be a humble dowry because of this.After all, the third princess is not qualified!

The queen and the third princess are not close. In fact, not only do they have no mother-daughter relationship, but the queen has secretly withheld the relationship between the third princess and the ninth princess.Although the mother of the third princess was not favored, she was also an old man who followed Xiaozong's hidden mansion. She had accumulated a lot of connections over the years. No matter how poor the third princess was, she could still barely maintain the appearance of fiber optics.Princess Jiu is not so lucky, the little girl is often hungry in her own palace, but Princess Jiu is timid and dare not talk to outsiders.

Until there was a banquet in the palace, the nine princesses fainted in front of the queen mother, three experts from the imperial hospital had a consultation, and they all said in unison: Her Royal Highness is physically deficient and internally deficient.

The queen mother didn't want to listen to these polite words, in a word, the nine princesses fainted from hunger in the palace.In front of those royal relatives, the empress was completely ashamed. Immediately, the third princess and the ninth princess replaced a large number of servants. After that, the proportion of food and clothing expenses was compared with that of the princes. The internal servant did not dare to neglect in the slightest.

Even so, the notoriety of the Queen's harsh concubine spread outside the palace.

Now that the Queen's personality is clear, how can everyone think that she is really doing the marriage for the third princess?
There must be some obscure allusion in it.

The queen smiled lightly and said: "Long live also agrees with Ben Gong, but unfortunately there is something wrong with the selection of this person. Close the door and don't talk about the two families. You are either Xiao Wu's grandmother or his adoptive mother, Ben Gong I mean, it would be safer for such a good thing to happen in my own home. The girls are all rare looks, and I will not worry about whoever follows the third princess into General Ningyuan's mansion from now on."

The old lady Ouyang and Mrs. Lu lowered their heads at the same time.

The queen snorted coldly in her heart, and then said with a kind smile: "But after thinking about it carefully, asking these three children to be Teng concubines is indeed a grievance, and I can't bear it. Now please two Madam came here for no other reason than to ask you to help me find a proper solution."

The two young ladies of Ouyang's family changed their colors drastically and looked at their grandmother in panic.The old lady Ouyang is well-informed, so she can't see what the queen is thinking at the moment.If the two families were forced to express their views and send a girl out as a concubine to marry, then the Queen's tone was too kind; if not, then the Queen had no reason to mobilize the crowd.

The old lady Ouyang looked at the two granddaughters in a gloomy way. She blamed herself for being greedy. She believed the little Huangmen's words and thought that the queen was choosing a concubine for the third prince, so she brought two girls with her to grab the first place.If it's like the Xing family, no one will take advantage of it, and the queen may not force the Ouyang family to send someone out.

"What? If the two ladies don't speak, don't they intend to give this palace this face?" The queen suddenly sneered, and got up to chase away the guests.

The old lady Ouyang was horrified, their family has not yet established a firm foothold in the capital, and now they are not close to the fifth prince, the only reason is that the emperor favors their family more.If outsiders know that her old woman and her two granddaughters were kicked out of the Queen's Hall by the Queen, then the Ouyang family will be ashamed to face others in the future!
But if he agrees, the century-old reputation accumulated by the Ouyang family in Yangzhou will be ruined once.

According to the family law established by the ancestors, even the daughter of a concubine cannot be humbled to be a concubine!

Xiuyan looked coldly at the old lady Ouyang who was sweating profusely, and then looked at the queen who was not giving up until she reached her goal on the phoenix chair, and suddenly understood the reason for this.

The queen's target must not be the Xing family, but Ouyang's mansion.

Which woman in the world would willingly accept her husband's illegitimate child?What's more, the empress who is not very broad-minded?Xiaozong was affectionate all his life, but he was also ruthless. The empress worked hard for half her life and gave up her life to give birth to the weak and sickly fourth prince, but it still couldn't get Xiaozong's affection.No regular wife can bear this matter!
In addition, several concubines selected by Emperor Xiaozong all had traces of Zhengde's birth mother on their bodies, which made them even more empress' knots.

If Xiuyan was in this position, she wouldn't swallow her anger, she had to let out this evil fire.Who to vent to?Naturally, he was looking for the eldest lady of the Ouyang family who captured Xiaozong's soul.

In the past, the emphasis was on repaying the debts of the father and the son, and the reverse is also true.Ouyang Yuhe died, and the Ouyang family should pay the price for raising such a daughter.

The more Xiaozong defended the Ouyang family and suppressed the Xing family, the more indignant the empress felt.

Xiuyan didn't want to gloat at this time, but it was because of Ouyang's family charging ahead that the Xing family could escape the queen's thunderous wrath, and even if they couldn't escape, they could get a moment's respite.

Seeing her mother Lu Shi anxiously about to speak, she quickly winked her eyes at Lu Shi, signaling her not to act rashly.

Xiuyan was standing not far from the queen, the girl in pink raised her eyes and met Xiuyan's gaze.

When the air pressure in the main hall was low, the little eunuch suddenly came in to report: "Reporting to Madam, the third and fifth princes have come to pay their respects to Madam, and they are now waiting outside the main hall."

The queen smiled, but she didn't see the sharp look just now: "These two children are filial, let them come in! It happens that Mrs. Ouyang and Mrs. Xing are here, and the fifth prince will also meet."

The little red-shirted girl next to the old lady couldn't help complaining Jiao Didi: "Qi empress, the fifth prince, he had met Mrs. Xing when he was in Qianzhimen, and he even bought a bamboo sedan chair for Xing." Ma'am, sit down."

"Hui Ping!" The girl in pink yelled at the younger sister of the third uncle's family in a low voice. Ouyang Huiping looked at the queen aggrievedly, as if she was about to cry.

The queen smiled and replied: "This girl is called Huiping? She is a loyal and good girl." After speaking, she looked at the little girl in red shirt with satisfaction, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt good.

When Mrs. Ouyang figured out what the queen meant, her heart suddenly sank:
This is Huiping's life!She should have believed a long time ago that Huiping would suffer a lot from that mouth sooner or later!Didn't it just prove it today?

When everyone was thinking differently, there were already rustling footsteps outside the hall.

"The son and minister kowtow to see the mother!"

The third prince is tall and tall, with an extraordinary appearance, much taller than the fifth prince. The two stood together. The former is elegant and elegant, while the latter is eccentric. They are somewhat similar, and they are all beautiful male embryos that are rare to see.

The queen smiled from ear to ear: "You two brothers just made a coincidence, I heard that Long Live has found a tutor for the fifth prince, and now it's time to study in the study, why do you have to spend time here to play with the queen mother? "

Zhengde smiled and said: "Yesterday, the fourth brother said that Erchen's cricket gourds are beautiful. Today, Erchen took half a day off from the master to let the fourth brother play with it. Who wants to see the third brother as soon as he enters the palace gate? The fate of the son!"
