Chapter 490 Deception
Outside the gate of Zhaoyang Yuan, several concubines were waiting. After looking at each other for a few times, they started talking back and forth. Each one of them was hiding something in their clothes. The older sister and younger sister screamed happily, but they actually wanted to vomit each other to death.
After a while, Xiaoyue came out, saluted to everyone, and said gently: "The empress said that she knows the reason why you are here. The crown prince still has to make the decision. She will just poke her with the phoenix seal when the time comes.
Let the prince marry you back in style." After saying that, he bowed again and turned to leave.
Now these concubines were staring at each other, and the queen was too direct and not subtle.
One of them couldn't help but sneered: "Did you hear that? Everyone, please go back. The queen just wants to do it." She turned around and left.
Although he was a little reluctant, what could he say, so everyone focused on the prince.
The queen said that the prince has the final say, so that's better. The prince is young and if he meets someone he likes, as long as he says to marry him, won't it be settled?
Xining was leaning on the beauty's couch, eating persimmons and reading a book, feeling very happy. The weather was getting brighter and brighter, and after the first snow fell, she would light the brazier.
Thinking of this, he put down his book and asked someone to pick up a cart of silver charcoal and send it to the Prince's Mansion.
The prince was having a headache, and in front of him were seven aunts and eight aunts who didn't know where they came from, and even the prince and his wife came running over. Originally, he wanted to be secretive, seeing so many people, so he simply kept the match. At this time, at least 100 people were sitting in the living room.
There were seven or eight people there, all arguing about which official girl was more suitable for him.
These people can't afford to offend them. If you scold them today, you might find a reason to read them in court tomorrow.
A servant came in and said that the queen had sent something. It was a load of charcoal!
The prince stood up suddenly. Although there was nothing strange on his face, his heart was filled with joy. He explained to everyone: "I will go to receive the reward first, and then come back. Please sit down for a moment."
Watching the prince leave, you can't stop him. It was a gift from the queen. Thinking about the queen's great care for the prince, the weather was getting colder and the brazier would be lit soon, so he sent someone to send charcoal.
Compared with the gifts they used to knock on the door, whether they were gold or jade, they were not as useful as the queen's charcoal.
Waiting and waiting, the person who waited was the butler.
The housekeeper came over and bowed: "My lords and madam, the prince has gone to the palace to express his gratitude. Please go back to the palace first. When the prince is free, he will send you a return visit one by one."
The prince has already run away, so why bother? Let’s just let it go!
The prince ran to Zhaoyangyuan and saw Queen Wang pruning flowers and plants with scissors.
After saying good-bye, he said with a smile: "My mother is very free, my place has almost become a matchmaker's house!"
Xining burst out laughing, put down the scissors, and the palace maid next to her immediately went up to clean it up. After she sat down, she took a sip of chrysanthemum tea and said, "Do you have anything you like?"
The prince said humbly: "Please let the queen mother make the decision."
Xining shook his head: "That's not okay. You should still decide this matter. Let me point it out, so you don't miss out on any benefits. There will always be obstacles for a young couple, and they will definitely blame me."
The prince also felt that this queen was really not an ordinary person. Looking at other people, especially Dai Zan, they wished they could cover the sky with one hand, but she was better off. It was best not to care about anything.
After thinking for a while, he said: "It is natural for parents to order matchmakers, and it is natural for the mother to make the decision. How can there be any resentment on the part of the sons and ministers. This time, the queen can ask for an early marriage, and the sons and ministers are already grateful. I will definitely be filial to you in the future!"
"
Come on, your dad used this trick a lot. As early as 20 years ago, he stopped using it. It’s sweeter than your kid’s mouth. But what he did was pretty awesome!
Xining smiled: "It's good to have this filial piety. Then let me know which family you want. Since you call me mother, I will naturally make the decision for you."
This decision-making and that decision-making have different meanings. The prince felt that this queen mother was really good, and she was really closer than his own mother. When Dai Zan was alive, he made a lot of efforts and wanted him to marry Ling Xiao's eldest lady.
.Then Ling Xue looked very domineering, just like Dai Zan and Wang Mei. They had a falling out because of this, and thus postponed the marriage.
The prince pretended to be stupid: "Which one does the queen think is suitable?"
Xi Ning thought for a while: "I shouldn't talk about court matters, but your matters are considered important, so we will talk here behind closed doors."
The prince immediately bowed respectfully and listened to the instructions: "Yes, Queen Mother, I promise not to let the Queen Mother's words reach the ears of outsiders."
Xining then started talking: "The Duke of Zhao's family controls 30% of the troops, but the person they chose is too eager for quick success and quick success. They can't let you marry your mother's sister. Let them choose another one. Prime Minister Zhou is an important minister of the court.
Speech in the court carries great weight. If the young lady selected by his family is of outstanding appearance, you should pay more attention to it. You should consider other matters as appropriate. You must know that you can not only have a crown prince and a concubine, but also two concubines."
After hearing these words, the prince immediately felt confident. He also heard that the queen spoke from the bottom of her heart, and explained the pros and cons thoroughly. He was immediately grateful. After chatting for a few more words, he stood up and left.
As soon as the prince left, Xiaoyue curled her lips and said, "The prince actually has someone he likes already."
"Oh, who is it?" Xining asked curiously.
Xiaoyue whispered in her ear: "The prince's first wife, Furong."
The maid? Xi Ning raised her eyebrows.
Xiaoyue lowered her voice: "There are five maids in total for the prince. Only Furong stayed with the prince during this year. She also secretly pawned her jewelry and gave it to the prince in exchange for food. Otherwise, the prince would only eat and drink with him.
I’m almost starving to death.”
Xining shook his head: "But when I went there, there was dust on the tables and chairs..."
Xiaoyue is also a sensible person: "It's not a little dusty, it's spotless, how can it show that it's desolate? The two people holding Yue Yin have tried their best to be more skimpy."
It seems that Yueyin was detained by Concubine Shu and Concubine De. It's a pity that they didn't kill the prince when he was unlucky. But that's right. After all, the prince is the grandson of the late king. Even if His Majesty expresses his anger again, his death will be a big deal. He will be investigated
If you come out, you will be severely punished. There is no need to take risks for an abandoned son!
Last time more than 30 people were killed in the Prince's Mansion, Furong was probably not among them, and he had never seen them before. The Prince had hidden them well enough.
The prince will not marry a maid as his concubine, that's how the world is.
Xi Ning just listened and said that it was none of her business anyway. For the time being, everyone did not want to harm anyone's son, nor did they want to beat the prince who had just regained their attention. They were all thinking about helping the prince find a wife. She
The goal is achieved!
Mo Ming: "I have never seen laziness and stealing like this! If it were someone else, kill the prince, kill Xue Pinggui, let the body owner's son ascend the throne, and listen to politics behind the curtain. This is the peak of life!"
