Miracle Doctor Allure: The Black-bellied General Dotes on His Wife Only

Chapter 169 Xia Mansion's Bargaining Chip

"No matter what, I will not send your sister to the palace again. The fate of the Xia family cannot be changed by my daughter. Aren't they all able to have sons? Why not let their sons turn the tide, my daughter I can't bear it." Li's nurse was eager, and immediately became unhappy, and said angrily.

"What are you talking about? They are all descendants of the Xia family. The honor and disgrace of the Xia family is everyone's business. Hmph! The queen mother also wanted to do this this morning. I just haven't agreed. If Qinglian doesn't object, then I think It's doable." Xia Lianfeng rolled his eyes, thinking that this was the fastest and most direct way to save himself.

"Daddy, I don't agree. I don't like my cousin. I don't want to enter the palace. I'm still young!" Xia Qingzhu shouted angrily, pouting.

"Qingzhu, it's up to you to decide this matter. Besides, it doesn't matter if you like it or not. You will naturally like it after getting along for a long time. Your cousin is so good, there will be no women who don't like him. You have to remember one thing, that is, You must work for the welfare of the Xia family, not just enjoy the blessings, otherwise the queen mother and I will let you know the serious consequences." Xia Lianfeng couldn't help but put the ugly words first.

"Master, you, you really want to send our green bamboo into the palace. You are trying to force me to death. I only have two daughters. If you killed Qinglian, I will admit it. To harm Qingzhu, me, what evil am I doing? Why must my daughter be sent to the palace!" Li Shi immediately quit, and burst into tears.

"Okay, lady's benevolence, this is a good thing you can't ask for, why are you crying!" Xia Lianfeng shouted angrily.

Immediately, Li Shi didn't dare to cry any more, but looked at her second daughter with bitterness in her stomach.

"Mother, don't cry, maybe my cousin doesn't like me too, and I won't be allowed to enter the palace then, it doesn't matter anyway, why are you crying, my daughter will remember to come back to see you." Xia Qingzhu never forgot to comfort herself mother.

"Master! Master! Madam, the Empress Dowager is here!" The housekeeper of the Xia Mansion rushed to report in a panic.

"What, what? The Empress Dowager has come to our Xia Mansion?" Xia Lianfeng was also a little at a loss.

"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and meet him!" The old lady who heard the news shouted impatiently.

"Yes, mother, let's go out to greet the Empress Dowager!" Xia Lianfeng led the members of the Xia family to line up to greet the Empress Dowager Xia.

The Empress Dowager's Luanjia had already stopped at the entrance of the Xia Mansion, and the old lady Xia led the crowd to kneel down, "Congratulations to the Empress Dowager Luanjia, and the Empress Dowager is well!"

"Get up! You don't need to be too polite, Er Niang, it's really heartbreaking for you to give such a big gift." The Queen Mother hurriedly helped Old Madam Xia up.

A group of people followed the Empress Dowager Xia into the Xia Mansion.Mrs. Li and Xia Lianfeng stood on the left and right of Mrs. Xia, while the other concubines were in the back row.The two sisters Xia Qinglian and Xia Qingzhu stood behind their parents, so they could clearly distinguish between the superior and inferior.

"It's not a big deal for Ai's family to come here today, just rushing out the door with nothing to do, you guys do what you should do!" The queen mother glanced at the crowd, and waved her hand as no one was too pleasing to her eyes. dismissed.

"The Queen Mother has spoken, what are you all supposed to do? Go ahead! Qingzhu serves tea to the Queen Mother!" Mrs. Xia was not an ordinary person, so she hurriedly ordered with ulterior motives.

"Yes! Grandma." Xia Qingzhu hurried down to make the best tea, and then brought it up.

"Invite the Empress Dowager to drink tea!" Qingzhu said politely, neither humble nor overbearing.

"Your name is Qingzhu? You're Qinglian's younger sister, right? How old is this year?" The Empress Dowager brought the teacup and asked several questions in succession.

"Back to the empress dowager, Qingzhu is Qinglian's younger sister, she is 15 years old this year." Qingzhu said with a light smile.

"Well, yes, she is indeed more beautiful than my sister, get up." The queen mother smiled faintly.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your compliment." Qing Zhu quickly got up and stepped aside.

"Huh? Since when did there be an extra set of calligraphy in this hall?" The empress dowager couldn't help but sighed, looking at the big characters that were flying like dragons and phoenixes, which looked like everyone else.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, these big characters were written by Qingzhu casually. She usually loves to write and draw. This child has a bit of a boyish personality." Xia Lianfeng who was on the side hurriedly recommended.

"Oh? This word is really good. It looks like a beautiful woman's hairpin, which is pleasing to the eye!" The Queen Mother praised without hesitation.

"Thank you Empress Dowager for your approval, Qingzhu deserves it!" Xia Qingzhu smiled indifferently, and hurriedly saluted to thank her.

"Empress Dowager, Grandmother, Father, I have something else to do, let's go out for a while, you can continue chatting." Xia Qingzhu gave a deep salute, and then exited the hall.

"Qinglian, you should step back too. I want to have a few homely conversations with your grandmother and father." The queen mother looked at Xia Qinglian, who was blind, and said involuntarily.

"Yes, Qinglian resigns!" Xia Qinglian reluctantly withdrew.

"Qinglian just doesn't have self-knowledge. We really misjudged her when we chose her to enter the palace, so now troubles continue, and Lie'er has more and more opinions on me." The queen mother sighed lightly, took a sip, and said, "This tea is really well brewed, but the age is a bit young, but the temperament is very good."

"Queen Mother, although Qingzhu is a little younger, she is beautiful, intelligent, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are better than her sister, and she has a kind heart. I think Qingzhu and the emperor might get along better." Xia Lianfeng said schemingly and authentically.

"Well, this child is more stable, and his words and deeds are decent, and he is not as arrogant and smug as Qinglian." The old lady Xia also strongly recommended it.

"Well, the Ai family also sees that Qingzhu is really well-behaved and sensible, with a sense of advance and retreat, and that temperament and demeanor are more like the mother of the country. I don't know what Qingzhu wants?" The Queen Mother also felt moved.

The purpose of her coming today is to discuss with her natal family, what should be done next, whether to let the girl enter the palace and try her luck again, or they should make another plan. She did not expect that there would be a solution so smoothly. She was a little surprised, this green bamboo came out gracefully, it was really attractive.

"Since the Empress Dowager also thinks Qingzhu can do it, let's strike while the iron is hot and choose a day to let Qingzhu enter the palace, and contact the emperor first, so that the emperor will not be too resistant at that time, which will backfire. This is something we don't even want to see." Xia Lianfeng suggested directly.

"Well, that's a good suggestion. Tomorrow, I'll hold a family banquet in the name of Ai's family. At that time, my brother can bring Qingzhu to the banquet alone, so as to create some opportunities for them to get along." The Queen Mother nodded in agreement.

"Okay, tomorrow morning, I'll bring Qingzhu to the banquet. I hope their cousins ​​can talk." Xia Lianfeng looked forward to it. This is his last bargaining chip. The prosperity of the Xia Mansion depends entirely on this second daughter. up.
