In other words, even if Shi Ying couldn't make the crown prince Liangdi, a lower-ranking prince and concubine could still be qualified. However, Shi Ying was left out of the imperial edict to confer marriage!
If the Shi family has no intention of competing for the Crown Princess, I am afraid no one in the world will believe it. But since there is no hope for the Crown Princess, it is better to have other grades of the Crown Prince's internal officials, right? But the fact is that Shi Ying's name does not appear in the imperial edict.
In marriage.
Then, there are obviously only two situations. One is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince avoids the Shi family out of some considerations; the other is that due to some irreversible deviation, the Empress Dowager Shi finally gave up on Shi Ying.
Gong Yueyue is obviously more willing to hear the second scenario. In that case, it means that her fifth brother Wu Zan has an opportunity!
Despite her doubtful tone, Gong Yueyue's eyes sparkled with joy.
Wu Zan glanced at Gong Yueyue strangely: "Eight sisters, why, fifth brother, listen, eighth sister is very happy about Shi... sister's defeat?"
"Okay, fifth brother, why are you pretending to be in front of the little sister! Sister Shi Ying blurted out. It can be seen that the fifth brother is more happy with sister Shi Ying's defeat than I am, the little sister!" Gong Yueyue reached out and poked Wu Zan again.
, "Fifth brother, why don't you hurry up and recruit us!"
After all, he was Xuanlangleiluoerlang. Wu Zan only hesitated for a moment and then told Gong Yueyue one by one.
It turned out that Shi Ying was indeed a hero among girls. Not only did she confess her love for Wu Zan to her father, Shi Lian, the captain of the Yue Cavalry School, but she also expressed her unwillingness to live in the prince's east palace to her queen mother, Mrs. Li.
In fact, Mrs. Li originally did not agree with her legitimate daughter marrying into the Prince's East Palace, because her legitimate sister was the late Empress Xiaoren. As the eldest daughter of General Li Gu, Mrs. Li knew that once she entered the palace, she was as deep as the sea.
Therefore, as soon as Shi Ying said it, Li immediately joined forces with Shi Lian, and in turn found Weiwei Shi Jian and helped Shi Ying convince Shi Jian.
In fact, Weiwei Shi Jian couldn't be said to have agreed, but just let it go. Seeing this, Mrs. Li couldn't help being happy. She hurried into the palace, met with Empress Dowager Shi, and told her daughter Shi Ying's wish. Empress Dowager Shi's expression changed after hearing this.
Zhu Pingji, who was gloomy and patting the colorful Chenliu brocade face, kept sighing, "I'm stupid, I'm stupid," and in turn he lectured Li. Shi Ying was young and ignorant. Could it be that a father and a queen were also confused... Li said
Finally, Shi Ying was offered the trump card that she would rather cut off her hair and become a nun and never marry, but Empress Dowager Shi did not agree.
In desperation, Mrs. Li turned around and went to Yongle Palace again, and tactfully expressed to the Dance Queen that her daughter Shi Ying and Wu Langjun fell in love with each other.
Although the Dance Queen looked down on the Shi daughter's private life secretly, Wu Langjun was a member of her Xiping Wu clan after all. As Wu Zan's imperial aunt, she couldn't ruin his good deeds, right? What's more,
There is one less candidate to compete for the Crown Princess.
And her son, Crown Prince Zhao Hu, is not short of women. When he becomes the leader in the future, what kind of woman does he want?
With some unexplainable and complicated jealousy, the Dance Queen still knew her justice: No matter from which aspect, Shi's daughter's voluntary withdrawal has more benefits than disadvantages for her and the Wu clan!
In view of this, Queen Wu naturally told Emperor Xiaocheng about Shi Ying's matter. Mrs. Li happily returned to her house and informed Shi Ying, who naturally informed Wu Zan.
"So, Fifth Brother's wish will come true?" After hearing this, Gong Yueyue couldn't help but be excited for Wu Zan, and she couldn't help but look envious, "Well, Sister Shi Ying deserves to be a hero among women, who has the courage to pursue her own happiness.
Respectable and admirable!”
Wu Zan also showed admiration, "From this point of view, Fifth Brother is not as good as you, Sister Shi Ying!" When Wu Zan said this, his eyes were still ashamed, but soon, he said firmly: "Fifth Brother will definitely not let me down.
You sister Shi Ying!"
"That's natural! The third generation father and the third generation mother have been a pair for life, and the eighth sister has seen it. How can my fifth brother be so different?" Gong Yueyue laughed and joked.
"But Queen Mother Shi in the palace, I'm afraid... will interfere with the marriage!" My brother Wu Zhong walked over at this time, with a less optimistic expression on his face.
Also, as the empress dowager, she was not only resisted by the younger members of her natal family, but also secretly tricked by her own prince, the Empress Wuwu. You can imagine how she felt! In addition to being angry, it was inevitable that there would be some confusion about Shi Ying's marriage.
Make trouble!
Wu Zan's eyes were full of determination, "Brother, let alone Shi Ying, a woman who is not afraid of the Queen Mother's decree, how can I, Wu Zan, be afraid of a grown man?!"
"Okay, second brother, I will write a letter to Xiping and let them know! Well, it is best to go to Taiwei's Mansion to ask my grandfather to come forward in person, and to Weiwei's Mansion to propose marriage for my second brother! Well, that's it!"
Wu Zhong saw that Wu Zan had given up his intentions, so he immediately got up and made suggestions for Wu Zan.
"What are you whispering behind your back, Bamei? Why can't Bamei have endless things to say when she sees Fifth Brother? Bamei is too partial to Fifth Brother!" Wuwei walked closer with a look of resentment on her face.
As if aggrieved, "But, eighth sister and fourth brother have heard it! Isn't it the Empress Dowager Shi who wants to break up the good thing between fifth brother and Shi Ying by relying on her years of accumulated power? What can happen? The worst is to go away.
, let’s elope!”
Seeing Wu Zhong glaring angrily, Wu Wei murmured dissatisfiedly: "... In the previous dynasty, Sima Xiangru and Gong Wenjun sold wine for money. There is no precedent..." Wu Zhong glared again, and Wu Wei lost his temper.
.
Wu Yao and Song Luo also came over after hearing the words. Wu Yao smiled and patted Wu Wei on the shoulder, "Fourth brother, it's hard to say things like that. Don't be impulsive unless you have to! Besides, I will take care of the fifth brother's matter.
The Marquis of Xiping Mansion has not yet proposed marriage, how do you know whether the Shi Mansion will agree?"
Song Luo also said: "Even if the Weiwei Mansion has the Queen Mother as its backer, he still has to be reasonable, right? Or what the third cousin is saying is that the Weiwei Mansion cannot refute the Taiwei Mansion, right?"
What Song Luo meant was that if one of the three princes, Taiwei Mansion, came forward to propose marriage to Wu Zan, Weiwei Mansion, one of the lower nine ministers, would also have to give Taiwei Mansion a face...
The topic obviously rose to the competition of official positions and grades.
At this time, the master of Wu Palace, Dalang, limped forward and said to everyone with determination: "How can I, the good son of the Xiping Wu clan, not be able to marry a bride?!" Then, turning to Wu Zhong, "Sanlang,
Leave the letter to Xiping to the Great Master!"
Finally, he turned to Wu Zan and stared at him with the long and narrow eyes that Wu Zan people are accustomed to saying: "Wu Lang, the big deal is that the Shifu won't give you face. What Shi Lang said... it's not a bad idea to elope! Haha..."
This time, everyone was unexpected, but they all couldn't help laughing and looked at Wu Zan with a smile.
As the elders, the eldest father can talk and laugh humorously, but as the sons and daughters of the younger generation, how can they stick to the etiquette and rules? Naturally, they are all smiles.
Song Luo added knowingly: "I'm going to have some wine later to celebrate my ninth cousin's happy event!"
One sentence reminded Lord Da Lang, and Wu Gong waved his hand: "Okay, let's all disperse! We have been talking about this for a long time at the stables. For those who don't know, I thought that my Xipinghou Mansion no longer has a yard!"
Everyone smiled and followed Master Dalang back to their respective courtyards.
Leading Xinhui, who was holding a bunch of small boxes of various colors, Gong Yueyue also walked to the inner courtyard.
But at the fork in the road, Gong Yueyue turned to Liao'e Hall again. (To be continued)
