Seeing the old man lying on the bed who was described as old and haggard but still looking at him with a smile, Xie Yan couldn't help but feel soft in his heart.
She sighed softly and said, "What do you want to say?"
The Empress Dowager said: "It's been so many days and you still haven't told your aunt which girl you like to be your princess."
Xie Yan frowned and said nothing, and the Empress Dowager said clearly: "I'm not satisfied with this, so next time..."
Xie Yan quickly stopped her and said helplessly: "Auntie, please don't bother me. I...have a lot of things to do these days. When this matter is over, I will seriously consider it."
The Empress Dowager looked at him steadily, and Xie Yan said seriously: "I promise, I will seriously consider it."
Getting married?
If the imperial aunt must see him get married before she can rest assured, that's not impossible.
Xie Yan frowned slightly in his heart, but he was inevitably a little upset.
The old eyes of the Empress Dowager shone with the wisdom accumulated over the years, "Just because my aunt wants to see you get married, it doesn't mean that you want to find someone to marry. Zhifei, marriage is a big deal, especially for you, this candidate must be
Think carefully. Don’t worry, no matter who you choose, the royal family will support you.”
Xie Yan couldn't laugh or cry. You insisted on forcing me to marry a princess before, and now you tell me that I can't just find someone?
Even though he was thinking this way, Xie Yan still agreed: "Don't worry, aunt, I know."
After Xie Yan left, the Queen Mother sighed and shook her head: "This child has been stubborn since he was a child. He must not understand what I mean."
Eunuch Huang, who was standing aside, smiled and said: "Your Majesty has been smart since he was young, but the Empress Dowager has been too worried."
The Empress Dowager said: "I am not forcing him to get married immediately, but I am asking him to start thinking about it. If no one forces him, he will not even think about it. Even if there is a suitable person in front of him, he will miss it.
, how can we talk about getting married? I'm just afraid that he will be forced to find someone to fool me."
It's hard to be a parent these days. Even if the children are already over 10 years old, it still doesn't make people feel at ease.
Huang Gonggong said: "My lord is filial and will not do it."
The Queen Mother shook her head, obviously having little confidence in her nephew.
"By the way, last time you went to the Luo family, the little girl from the Luo family..."
Eunuch Huang couldn't help but laugh, "Is the Empress Dowager still thinking about the second girl of the Luo family?"
The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "I just looked at that little girl, her sweet smile, and her pretty little face. I felt sweet to the core at just one glance. She just looks a little younger.
In a few years, she will definitely be as beautiful as her mother, but not quite like Luo Yun's daughter."
At the end of the sentence, the Queen Mother couldn't help but complain.
This cannot be blamed on the Empress Dowager's prejudice against General Luo. From the first time the Empress Dowager met Luo Yun, General Luo has never been the image of a handsome young man in Yushu.
You must know that the late Mrs. Luo was also a famous beauty and talented woman in the city of Shangyong. For such a well-born beauty to choose a warrior like Luo Yun, I don’t know how many wealthy young masters in Shangyong were attracted by it at that time.
broken.
She has seen all three children of the Luo family. Only the second child looks more like Luo Yun, but he is still much prettier than Luo Yun.
As for the eldest daughter and the youngest girl, I'm afraid it's all thanks to Mrs. Xianluo.
Eunuch Huang said with a smile: "It's natural that the Empress Dowager likes her, but... I'm afraid General Luo won't be happy with it."
The Empress Dowager was also a little worried, "Zhifei is in such a position, and Luo Yun doesn't really like to have his daughter get involved. But... I don't think Zhifei is completely uninterested in that little girl."
"..." Eunuch Huang was silent and couldn't help but ask in his heart: How could you tell, Queen Mother, that the regent was interested in the girl of the Luo family? Is it possible that the old slave is too old and dim?
The Empress Dowager Taihang thought for a long time and could only sigh and said: "Well, the Luo family should not have arranged a marriage for the little girl so quickly, or... call the little girl into the palace tomorrow to have a look? Just call her.
one."
In this way, the Luo family should be able to understand what she means, right?
Huang Gonggong said: "I'm afraid it won't happen in the next few days."
"how?"
Huang Eunuch said: "Well, didn't something happen to the eldest daughter of the Luo family on her way to the wedding? Miss Luo was seriously injured in order to save the eldest daughter of the Luo family. Because the Empress Dowager was not in good spirits in the past few days, the old slave didn't take it.
This bothers you."
The Queen Mother perked up after hearing this, "What's going on? Tell me?"
As the confidant of the Queen Mother, Eunuch Huang naturally knew all these things clearly.
Immediately, he recounted the ins and outs of what happened to the Luo family that day. Only the fact that Luo Junyao suddenly went berserk and had a fight with Xie Yan was not known because Luo Jinyan had blocked the news.
After listening to his words, the Queen Mother fell into deep thought.
Eunuch Huang didn't bother her either. Based on his understanding of the mistress who had served him for half his life, she would never be displeased because the second girl of the Luo family put herself in danger.
on the contrary……
After a long time, I heard the Empress Dowager say: "Hurry! Send me my message and ask Mrs. Luo to come to the palace."
Eunuch Huang was a little surprised, "Empress Dowager, you are..."
The Empress Dowager's eyes were bright and she said: "No choice! Anyway, I can't think of any good ideas! This girl from the Luo family is the most suitable candidate for the regent princess!"
She was originally a little worried that this girl was too young and looked too delicate, and might not be qualified for the position of regent. But now it seems that although this girl looks delicate, she does have the style of a general.
Dare to lure away the pursuers alone, it takes more than just some skills.
Courage and intelligence are also indispensable!
The Empress Dowager has always been dissatisfied with the noble ladies of Shangyong, feeling that they are too delicate. It does not mean that they must practice martial arts, but that they are accustomed to relying on their parents, elder brothers, and husbands. If any unforeseen event happens,
, apart from crying and being martyred, the Empress Dowager really doubted what else they could do.
They were noble ladies of the same era. Although Bai Jingrong was the enemy of the Dongling twins back then, the Empress Dowager hated Princess Mu Yao Yun even more.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Unfortunately, in the early years, she had to assist the Emperor Gaozu to pacify the world. In recent years, due to the death of her husband and son one after another, the Empress Dowager was also in poor health and had no energy to take care of these things.
Eunuch Huang hesitated and said, "Are you going to talk to the regent?"
The Empress Dowager shook her head and said: "No, let's go to convey the order first and check the Luo family's tone first. By the way... the reason, the reason is to appease Mrs. Luo who was frightened by the eldest daughter's affairs, so the eldest daughter of the Luo family will also be killed."
They were summoned to the palace together. This time it was indeed because of court affairs that the girl was implicated."
Eunuch Huang nodded in agreement.
The Empress Dowager said again: "Give Zhifei the news that I summoned Mrs. Luo."
"yes."
Eunuch Huang sighed in his heart. The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager had worked very hard for the Regent. I hope that the Regent would really have a good marriage, which would reassure the Empress Dowager.
After receiving the order from the Empress Dowager, Su was also a little confused.
She intuitively felt that the Empress Dowager summoned her not entirely for her daughter's wedding. After all, it had been several days.
But in any case, it is also a good thing for Mingxiang that the Empress Dowager can personally consult and comfort him.
So with full of doubts, Mrs. Su hurriedly packed up her appearance, put on the makeup ordered by Mrs. Dingguo, and entered the palace with Luo Mingxiang.
On the other side, the news that the Empress Dowager summoned Madam Luo quickly reached the Regent's Palace.
Gu Jue and Wei Changting, who were discussing matters in the study room, couldn't help but look at Xie Yan who was sitting on the throne after hearing this.
Gu Jue felt strange: Does the Empress Dowager need to inform the prince about summoning his wife?
Wei Changting hid himself behind the folding fan, secretly laughing.
He is the cousin of the Empress Dowager, and his mother often visits the Empress Dowager in the palace. Naturally, he knows much more than Gu Jue, a self-made man who is completely unfamiliar with the situation in the capital.
Xie Yan felt his eyes hurt when he saw Wei Changting smiling so hard, but he also had a headache.
The Empress Dowager had just agreed to let him think about it for a few days, and then summoned Mrs. Luo. Are all women so fickle?
Of course Xie Yan would not be naive enough to think that the Queen Mother was still in the mood to invite Mrs. Luo into the palace for a chat now that she was so ill. Even if she wanted to appease the Luo family, it was the Queen Mother who should come forward.
Thinking of the little girl from the Luo family, Xie Yan's head hurt even more.
Wei Changting coughed twice, "Your Majesty?"
"Shut up." Xie Yan said calmly.
Wei Changting shrugged and closed his folding fan in front of his mouth to show that he was wise and shut up.
Xie Yan no longer paid attention to Wei Changting's expression of watching the show, and after explaining what they wanted to talk about in a few sentences, he kicked the two of them out of the study.
Wei Changting didn't mind being kicked out. He smiled and waved his folding fan and walked out, "Lao Gu, you can do it yourself. I'm going to Princess Changling's Mansion."
Gu Jue looked at him and asked, "Is there anything I don't know?"
Wei Changting smiled and said: "Since you don't know in the first place, it's better not to know. Believe me, I am doing this for your own good."
Gu Jue didn't care. He wasn't very interested in these things to begin with, but Wei Changting's weird attitude made him a little curious, "Is it related to the Luo family?"
Wei Changting smiled and said nothing.
"Is it still related to the prince?"
Gu Jue frowned, "Is it related to both the prince and the Luo family? The Qi tribe?"
Wei Changting patted his shoulder and walked out with a happy look on his face.
Gu Jue, who was left behind, was speechless: Is it fun to be mysterious?
In the study, Xie Yan was leaning on the chair with his forehead on one hand and closing his eyes to meditate.
That little girl from the Luo family...
Doctor Xue's words echoed in his mind: "That girl, although I don't know where this disease came from, you can't go wrong with a stable mind. The little girl is not timid, and her strength is not weak, and she can be so easily frightened.
I'm afraid she didn't know when she suffered a big fright, and her fear and uneasiness had already taken root in her psychology. Even if she forgot about it, the impact would not be eliminated. She needed someone to protect her, but there was no such person, so
She created such a person on her own. If there was really a powerful person beside her who made her feel safe and reliable, maybe the disease would be cured without medicine."
"It's pitiful to say that I lost my mother when I was young, my father and brother are not around all the time, and I have such a family background. I don't know how many sins it has caused. Your... son, isn't he also plotting against others? What a sin."
Doctor Xue's sigh was still echoing in his mind, and Xie Yan smiled bitterly: The Empress Dowager took it for granted. With his current status and position, how could he afford the high expectations of Doctor Xue?
