Your daughter's strategy

Bo Rang was also stunned: "This marriage is decided by the Queen?"

Xie Yushu hurriedly said: "That's not true, it's just that it has something to do with the Xu family. I thought the empress knew about it, but I didn't expect that she didn't know." He said again: "The other party is Xue Zizhou, Xue Yunxin's cousin. She has changed the Geng invitation and ordered it. wedding date."

Bo Rang was also a little surprised: "It turned out to be Xue Zizhou, why didn't I hear the wind at all."

Xie Yushu said indifferently: "If you like it, you will make a decision. There is nothing to hesitate."

Bo Rang nodded, Xue Zizhou is Xu Jinghan's sister-in-law, Xu Jinghan is Xu Miaoyun's sister, Xie Yushu is Xie Zhilan's eldest brother, and Xu Runan's eldest brother-in-law, this is really a marriage of kissing, so I told him when I went back Xu Miaoyun.

Xu Miaoyun was also very surprised: "I didn't hear anything about it, and my second sister didn't say anything."

Bo Rang said: "It is estimated that there were too many things a while ago, so I didn't have time to talk about it."

Xu Miaoyun was puzzled. Before her aunt entered the palace, she also mentioned that Xie Yushu was going to be engaged. At that time, she must have known that the other party was Xue Zizhou, but she didn't mention a word.

But she didn't take this matter to heart, she just asked Xiujuan to prepare two congratulatory gifts and send them to Xie's family and Xue's family respectively.

This year's New Year's Eve did not arrange a palace banquet. Firstly, there were not many people in the palace, so they couldn't make a table when they were all present. Secondly, because of Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Pei, they were too noisy. After the sacrifice in the ancestral hall, Xu Miaoyun and Xiaoxian accompanied the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother to have a reunion dinner together. Naturally, Zhong Ran and Shu Ning were also there, and fortunately, Shu Ning was teasing Xiao Xian.The two were laughing and joking, which eased the deserted atmosphere a lot.

The Empress Dowager looked at Shu Ning who looked like a child even though she was 16 years old with a smile, her eyes were full of love, the Empress Dowager smiled and said: "When Zhong Ran's marriage is engaged, it's time to talk about Shu Ning's marriage."

Xu Miaoyun also teased Shu Ning: "What kind of wife do you want to marry, I will help you pay attention."

Shu Ning scratched his head, with a childish expression: "As long as you are pretty and have a good temper, I don't have any requirements for the rest."

Everyone laughed.The Empress Dowager said to Bo Rang: "Next year's spring draft will be held, and it will be lively, not for yourself, but also for Shu Ning and An Zhuo. I remember that he is also at the age of marriage, so choose a suitable one." .”

Bo Rang said with a smile: "If it's just for two people to get married, then there's no need for a talent show to mobilize so many people."

The Empress Dowager said: "Not only for them, but also for you. No matter what happens in the harem, two people will be added more or less. It looks like that. The love between your husband and wife is the same thing. But look, now There are not enough seats for dinner. It is a joke, and since Xiaoxian was born, Miaoyun's stomach has not moved. Now that the royal family is empty, it is better to have more children."

Bo Rang was stunned, Xu Miaoyun also lowered her head, and the Queen Mother remained silent.The Empress Dowager sighed, and said: "Even if it's just a decoration, it looks good on display. Now the palace is empty and deserted, it's really not good."

Bo Rang moved his lips and wanted to say something, but seeing that the Empress Dowager refused to say more, he had no choice but to swallow the words.

The joy of the New Year disappeared because of the empress dowager's words. Xu Miaoyun was depressed. Seeing Xiaoxian fell asleep, she went back to the warm pavilion and sat in a daze. Grandma means, don’t get me wrong.”

Xu Miaoyun said: "I don't think about this, but I wonder why the Empress Dowager suddenly remembered the matter of accepting a concubine for you. She didn't mention it sooner or later, and brought it up after the conflict between Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Pei. I really have to let it go." People think too much." Bo Rang didn't make a sound, but he agreed with Xu Miaoyun's words in his heart.

Although the empress dowager has a noble character, it doesn't mean she won't fight, let alone because of her only daughter, Taining. Maybe it was Mrs. Wang's incident that touched her. Taining looks beautiful now, but as long as the empress dowager dies, She lost support.

In addition, when Zhong Ran and Shu Ning got married, there would be more and more people in the royal family, and they were all close relatives of Bo Rang, then Tai Ning would be pushed out slowly, and Mrs. Wang is so snobbish. Seeing that Taining has lost the power and favor, I don't know how it will be ruined, so what the Empress Dowager can do is to arrange a solid support for Taining when she can still move and talk.

The Queen Mother and Xu Miaoyun are obviously not suitable. The only possibility is Bo Rang's concubine. As long as the Empress Dowager supports one of them to gain a firm foothold, then both the concubine and the concubine's natal family will be grateful for the Empress Dowager's kindness, and will naturally be grateful for the Empress Dowager's kindness. Taining is different.

It would be best for the concubine to give birth to a son. Even if the position of the crown prince has been determined, it is more than enough to be a prince if he cannot be an emperor. Anyway, as long as he can stand up and support Taining at the right time, it will be fine.

Although these are just speculations, Bo Rang understands that the empress dowager's thoughts are inseparable from this. For a while, his thoughts are complicated. He promised Miaoyun that he will only marry her in this life. A sweet word.

In order to achieve this goal, he and Miaoyun also worked hard to fight for it. God is sorry, Miaoyun was pregnant early and gave birth to Xiaoxian. The position of the crown prince was determined, and the minister's mouth was blocked.

Now those ministers seldom talk about accepting concubines. In their eyes, as long as the crown prince is confirmed, how many women the emperor marries has nothing to do with them. They don't need them to support them anyway, so why should they worry about it.

But the ministers didn't mention it, the empress dowager brought it up instead. The empress dowager's will is different from the ministers' notes. If he doesn't listen, it will be disobedience and disobedience, and the troubled Miaoyun will also be accused of being jealous, but if Agreed, but it was really not what he wanted.

Bo Rang looked at Xu Miaoyun, but seeing her in a daze, he quickly hugged her in his arms and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you, and I won't break my promise."

Xu Miaoyun didn't cry as he imagined, but calmly said: "I know, no matter what the reason is, you can't agree to the empress dowager's acceptance of the concubine."

Bo Rang was stunned, and Xu Miaoyun said: "Think about it, if those ministers propose to accept a concubine, even if you agree, you have the final say on what to do when you marry in, but if the Empress Dowager speaks, you can't Leave it in the cold, otherwise the Empress Dowager will definitely not want to, when the time comes to compromise once, she will compromise the second time, and the Empress Dowager will definitely praise her as much as she can, don't talk about defending her body like a jade for me, I'm afraid my son will be born, People are so eager to look forward to Shu. With the support of the Empress Dowager, maybe they will covet the position of the crown prince, just to imitate the virtuous, you can't agree to this."

Bo Rang didn't expect Xu Miaoyun to think so thoroughly and in detail. Looking at her blankly, Xu Miaoyun said: "I can forgive you for offending my interests. If you offend Xiaoxian's interests, I absolutely cannot agree. I would rather let you Accepting a concubine according to the minister's book will not make you accept the empress dowager's order, these are two different things."

Bo Rang said: "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion. The Empress Dowager is also for Taining. As long as we solve this problem, the Empress Dowager will naturally not care about my draft."

Xu Miaoyun saw that his brows were determined.She nodded slowly and leaned into his arms.

It was a good New Year's Eve, and they were troubled by this incident. The two of them were not so much watching the year as they were sitting in a daze. To be honest, Bo Rang and Xu Miaoyun were too young.I don't have much experience in being an emperor or a queen, so I am so scheming towards the empress dowager.Then I was a little panicked, on the one hand, I was worried that I was an elder relative, and I had to respect it, and I couldn't turn my face as much as possible, and on the other hand, I didn't even think that I was an emperor or a queen. Can you still force them?

This night's happiness, Bo Rang was tender and eager, and Xu Miaoyun was uncharacteristically, not just accepting blindly as before, but catering to him, and in the end, I don't know if it was because of shame or something else, and wept softly , Bo Rang's eyes dimmed, his movements slowed down, and he gently kissed the tears on Xu Miaoyun's face.

But Xu Miaoyun wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, put her arms around Bo Rang's neck, and said angrily: "I will give you many children, so that they will have nothing to say, and no more excuses to give you women."

Bo Rang didn't speak, but kept kissing her, as if this was the only way to relieve the uneasiness and guilt in his heart.

After the routine pilgrimage on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Miaoyun's body that was supported by her forcefully softened, and she leaned on the soft couch to let Xiujuan beat her legs. She didn't go to bed until late yesterday. Getting up early in the morning and sitting upright to accept congratulations is really a chore.

Bo Rang didn't come back until after lunch, Xu Miaoyun ordered the small kitchen to cook a pot of noodles for him with high soup, and then ate half a bowl of it herself, saying: "Is there any work left?"

Bo Rang said: "It should be gone. It's the Chinese New Year, and we should breathe a sigh of relief. However, Mr. Liang Ge proposed to resign, saying that he was not in good health. I will delay it until the next year. Let's see what to do when the time comes."

Xu Miaoyun was a little surprised: "How old is Old Liang Ge, did he feel wronged and deliberately said that he would become an official?"

Bo Rang shook his head: "Probably not. Mr. Liang Ge's health is not good after winter. Once he passed out in the duty room, which shocked everyone. It is expected that he will become an official. It's just that he didn't recover for a while. No one can take his place, so we have to let him persist for a while."

Xu Miaoyun said: "It doesn't matter if Liang Ge becomes an official, but in this way, Liang Puyu's marriage will be hard to say."

When Mr. Liang Ge was Mr. Mr. Mr. Ge, Liang Puyu, as Mr. Mr. Mr. Ge's granddaughter, was naturally worth a lot of money. If Mr. Liang Mr. Ge became an official, and everyone left the tea, unless someone from the Liang family was promoted, Liang Puyu would lose this advantage.

Bo Rang said with a smile: "So Mr. Liang Ge asked me to tell Liang Puyu about a marriage, and I became a matchmaker."

Xu Miaoyun also laughed. At this time, she never expected that Liang Puyu would become the empress dowager's favorite candidate for entering the palace.

After the Lantern Festival, the Empress Dowager did not mention the matter of choosing a concubine. Xu Miaoyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly the Empress Dowager called her over suddenly, saying that she was going to let Liang Puyu enter the palace as a concubine, and said: "This I have seen the child before, she is very gentle and virtuous, I heard that you have a good relationship with her, and you will naturally get along well in the future, Liang Ge is always loyal to the country, and Liang Puyu is his granddaughter, so it is not too wronged, I think you should It’s not too much to be a concubine, so let’s bring her into the palace after the auspicious day is chosen.”

Seeing Xu Miaoyun stunned, the Empress Dowager smiled and said: "Don't worry, Xiaoxian's crown prince has been confirmed, and the emperor dotes on you again. Even if there is one more Liang Puyu, I can't share your favor."

Xu Miaoyun forced a smile, and said: "I'm afraid I'll wrong Miss Liang. Before, Mr. Liang Ge wanted to ask the emperor to give Miss Liang a marriage. He must have already made plans for her marriage."

The Empress Dowager still had a smiling expression: "Don't worry, I also know that twisted melons are not sweet. I have already shown the wind to the Liang family. The Liang family is very willing to let Liang Puyu enter the palace as a concubine. The greatest favor of the Liang family."

Xu Miaoyun listened to the Empress Dowager talking about how good Liang Puyu was, but she didn't listen to a single word. Finally, she heard the Empress Dowager saying, "Go ahead."Then he mechanically stood up, saluted and left.

Xiujuan was worried, looked at Xu Miaoyun's appearance, thought about it, and brought Xiaoxian over. Xiaoxian was playing in the yard accompanied by several young eunuchs, and when she saw Xu Miaoyun, she threw herself into Xu Miaoyun's arms with a smile.

Xu Miaoyun hugged her son's limp body and made up her mind.No matter what, Liang Puyu cannot be allowed to enter the palace, otherwise what is waiting for him and Xiaoxian will be a cliff step by step.

She told Xiujuan not to tell Bo Rang about this, and then she thought, even if she didn't say it herself, the Empress Dowager would definitely say it.Although the Empress Dowager did this to protect Taining, the interests of Xu Miaoyun and Xiaoxian cannot be ignored because of this.This was something Xu Miaoyun couldn't tolerate.

Xu Miaoyun thought about it for a long time, and decided to start with Liang Puyu. As long as Liang Puyu didn't want to, the Empress Dowager could not force her to enter the palace.

The Liang family naturally did not dare to disobey the imperial decree, but Xu Miaoyun underestimated the fighting power of the Empress Dowager.As soon as Liang Puyu entered the palace, she was picked up by the Empress Dowager.Obviously not wanting her to meet Xu Miaoyun, Xu Miaoyun sat silently for a long time after hearing the news, then got up and went to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager had a gentle smile on her face: "I want to keep Miss Liang to stay with me. You are so busy and you have to take care of Xiao Xian, so don't worry about it."

Xu Miaoyun secretly sneered, this was to prevent her from attacking Liang Puyu, and said: "I invite Miss Liang to the palace for no other reason, but to get along for a while and cultivate a relationship."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "When she enters the palace, the days will be long, and this feeling can be cultivated slowly." Even if Xu Miaoyun is not allowed to see her if she is killed, Xu Miaoyun can't force her to come over, so she has to leave.

Xu Miaoyun originally wanted to wait for Bo Rang to come back to discuss with him at night, but he heard people say that Bo Rang was invited to dinner by the people in the empress dowager's palace, why?She must have cultivated a relationship with Liang Puyu, Xu Miaoyun was so angry that she didn't eat dinner and lay down on the bed early.

When Bo Rang saw Liang Puyu at the empress dowager's place, he screamed inwardly that it was not good, but since he came, he couldn't leave immediately, he had to stay and listen to the empress dowager's praise of Liang Puyu's excellence, and how much he liked it.

Bo Rang listened absent-mindedly, but he was thinking of Xu Miaoyun in his heart. He wondered if she knew about this matter or if she was angry. When he thought of this, he became very anxious and wanted to go back quickly to have a look, but he was dragged away by the Empress Dowager again. Get out, just listen patiently

At dinner, Bo Rang saw a plate of almond tofu on the table, so he intentionally ordered Xiaotingzi: "Didn't the queen talk about eating almond tofu this morning, you go and ask the small kitchen if there is any preparation, if not, tell him to prepare it quickly." .”

Xiaotingzi went away in response, the Empress Dowager smiled and said to Liang Puyu, "I'll say that he is considerate and considerate and will love others."

Liang Puyu smiled slightly: "The emperor and the empress are really loving."

Bo Rang was a little annoyed. He didn't expect the Empress Dowager to be so determined this time, and she actually took a fancy to Liang Puyu. After finishing the meal, Bo Rang left in a hurry and returned to Fengyi Palace under the pretext of having something to do. Come out to salute, whispered: "Your Majesty, dinner is useless, go to bed early."

Bo Rang said: "How can I do without eating? Tell the small kitchen to prepare some food and bring it up." Lifting his foot into the room, he saw that although Xu Miaoyun's eyes were closed, her eyelashes were trembling slightly, she was obviously not asleep, and said softly : "It's not the way to get angry, get up and eat something?"

Xu Miaoyun opened her eyes and looked at him, very unhappy: "The beauty over there is like jade, it's hard for you to come back."

Bo Rang hugged her with a smile: "I have been wronged by this, but I didn't know it at all. I only found out when I got there. I didn't eat and I came back immediately." He coaxed her to eat something.

Xu Miaoyun didn't have any appetite at all. Thinking of what the Empress Dowager did, she felt depressed. Fortunately, she always thought that the Empress Dowager was a very nice person, but now that she thought about it, she could hold on to the empress's throne for decades without a son. Not a simple character, if she was determined to make Liang Puyu enter the palace as a concubine, she would be helpless.

Bo Rang persuaded her for a long time, but seeing that she still had no appetite, he stopped forcing her, hugged her in his arms and comforted her softly, but Xu Miaoyun was thinking about how to talk to Liang Puyu alone.

In the early morning of the second day, before Xu Miaoyun had time to go to the Empress Dowager, Liang Puyu turned around and saluted Xu Miaoyun graciously: "I know my empress wants to talk to me, so I came here to say hello to my empress."

Xu Miaoyun smiled: "The Empress Dowager is willing to let you out? Are you afraid that if you get lost, you won't be able to go back?"

Liang Puyu looked at Xiujuan and the palace maid who were standing beside him, but did not speak, Xu Miaoyun motioned for Xiujuan to take everyone down, and then said: "You can say whatever you want."

Liang Puyu lowered her head and said: "Actually, I and my empress have the same thoughts. My empress doesn't want me to enter the palace, and I don't want to enter the palace either, but even without me, the empress dowager will go to find someone else, and I, even if I don't enter The palace may not be able to get what it wants, speaking of it, I, like the empress, can't help myself."
