Chen Shuyuan asked with hope on her face: "My dear concubine, does the emperor really care about this Miss Meng?"
It was a life-long matter, so there was no need for Yue Wangshu to hide it from his mother, so he whispered: "The emperor intends to marry the Meng family from the Qin and Jin Dynasties. But in the end, it is hard to say whether the emperor will choose Meng Yuanqing or this Meng Shu.
.”
When Chen Shuyuan heard this, she immediately thought of the eldest princess and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, "How old is the eldest princess?" After all, her elder sister had to get married first, and then it was her brother's turn to marry. What if Concubine Xiang and the eldest princess were interested?
The eldest son of the Meng family...
Chen Shuyuan sighed, "I don't know what Concubine Xiang is thinking." - The Yu family and the Meng family were already in-laws, and I'm afraid that Concubine Xiang would also be happy to get married...
Chen Shuyuan, who knew that she was of low status, obviously had no say in her son's marriage, so she could only say: "It's a coincidence that Meng Yuanqing is also Zhen'er's companion. I heard that he is a gentle and polite child." - Zhen'er back then.
When he entered the school, the candidate to be his companion was chosen by the late Queen. Her natal family did not have any decent children, so she chose the son of the clan and the Meng family as her companion.
Yue Wangshu said: "In that case, why not invite Concubine Xiang and the eldest princess to come over for tea? Let's open the skylight and ask."
"Thank you, Imperial Concubine!" Chen Shuyuan quickly stood up and thanked her.
The imperial concubine invited her, and there was no reason why Concubine Xiang should not come. She was just a little confused as to why she wanted to bring her with her. So she had no choice but to ask someone to give her a half-day leave and take her with her to Yunzhi Palace.
The seventeen-year-old Princess Pingyu is already a beautiful flower that is about to bloom, delicate and beautiful, full of vitality.
After a brief exchange of greetings, the guests and hosts took their seats. Yue Wangshu stopped chatting and told Concubine Xiang about summoning Meng Shu today.
Concubine Xiang glanced at Chen Shuyuan and immediately thought of something. She was about to say "congratulations" when she heard the concubine say: "I wonder if you have seen Meng Yuanqing?"
Concubine Xiang was stunned for a moment: "Although we are in-laws, we are still foreigners. I have never seen him before."
The same goes for Chen Shuyuan. She has never even met her son's companion... But it is also true that although the Prince's Palace is close to the harem, it also belongs to the scope of the former dynasty. Even Chen Shuyuan, her mother-in-law, does not go there, and Concubine Xiang even more
There is no reason to go.
Although Yue Wangshu has seen little Adi's reading companion, firstly because they are still young, and secondly because she is a noble concubine.
"What do you mean, Concubine Xiang?" She was as smart as Concubine Xiang, and she immediately guessed what she was talking about.
"The emperor likes the Meng family. He thinks that the Meng brothers and sisters are pretty good and wants to choose one of them." Yue Wangshu couldn't help but look at Lou Yu.
Concubine Xiang was startled for a moment, then she smiled and said, "The education of the Meng family is not bad!" The emperor finally began to think about Lou Yu's marriage, and since he was a relative of his own, how could Concubine Xiang not be happy about it.
"Mother concubine!" Princess Zhouyu's pretty little face drooped, "I saw this Meng Yuanqing a few days ago when I was riding and shooting at the school. He has an ordinary appearance and a dull temper! I don't want to marry him!"
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Xiang was furious on the spot: "Don't talk nonsense! This is your father's favorite candidate. He must have good character." - How can this child only look at his appearance?
Lou Yu's eyes turned red with embarrassment, "Anyway, I'm just choosing one of them, so let the second brother marry Meng Shu! Why do you have to force me to marry someone I don't want to marry?!"
Yes, no matter how much the emperor values the Meng family, he cannot marry both his daughter and his daughter-in-law.
Seeing that their mother and daughter were at war with each other, Yue Wangshu said hurriedly: "The Emperor is still considering this matter. Besides, our eldest princess is as beautiful as a flower. She wants to marry a handsome man. It's not too much."
"Concubine, please don't spoil her too much!" Concubine Xiang couldn't help but scolded, "Whether you choose a wife or a son-in-law, the most important thing is character and talent. How can you judge a person by his appearance?"
Lou Yu's cheeks were bulging with anger.
Yue Wangshu had no choice but to say quickly: "I just want to let you mother and daughter talk about this matter. The matter has not been finalized yet." - Don't rush to quarrel yet.
However, since Lou Yu was unwilling, Yue Wangshu was naturally inclined to facilitate the relationship between Miss Meng and the second prince. She looked at Chen Shuyuan: "I just don't know what the second prince thinks?"
Chen Shuyuan quickly said: "Zhen'er has always respected the late queen, so how could she not want to marry the Meng family?"
Concubine Xiang felt anxious. Look at her son, how obedient he is! Why did she give birth to such a willful daughter?!
Lou Yu immediately said kindly: "Since the second brother is willing, let him marry a girl from the Meng family!"
Concubine Xiang had blue veins popping up on her forehead.
"Okay, okay!" Seeing that Concubine Xiang was about to run away, Yue Wangshu said immediately, "I understand what Concubine Xiang and Chen Shuyuan mean. I will talk to the emperor nicely when I turn around."
After appeasing Concubine Xiang again, the guests were sent away.
Alas, matchmaking is really hard work.
As the sun set in the west, Yan Laoliu came over. Yue Wangshu made a sad face and told him everything about today's events, "Fei Xiang and Chen Shuyuan are both very happy, but Suo Yu...
I'm about to cry. In this matter of marriage, it's best if you and I agree."
Yan Zheng pondered for a moment, "Rao Yu is a little willful, but my daughter doesn't have to worry about getting married. There are many young and handsome people in the capital."
Seeing that Yan Laoliu was quite open-minded, Yue Wangshu finally felt at ease. On the second prince's side, Chen Shuyuan talked to him, but since he knew his son better than his mother, the second prince must be willing to marry a cousin.
Even if this girl Meng Shu is not extremely beautiful, the second prince can still have concubines in the future.
And if the princess can't marry a handsome man, she can't raise a young man, right?
"Wang Shu thinks Meng Shu is very good?" Yan Zheng asked with a smile.
Yue Wangshu said awkwardly: "We just met her once and asked a few common questions. How can I know the truth? It's just that this girl is quite pretty and has excellent etiquette and rules. She seems to be smart."
Yan Zheng nodded slightly, "I just want to find a smart and capable wife for Cheng Zhen."
Yue Wangshu suddenly said again: "It's strange to say that the eldest son of the Meng family is already eighteen years old, why hasn't he been engaged yet? He is also the second prince's companion, could it be that the Meng family has been looking forward to the master for a long time? And this
Meng Shu has not even proposed a kiss when she was sixteen years old, so it can be seen that she was delayed by her brother. By the way, this Meng Shu's eyebrows and eyes do look a bit like the former queen!"
Yue Wangshu had a good feeling for this Miss Meng.
Hearing this, Yan Zheng suddenly felt something was wrong, "Like Meng Ying? This Meng Dongchuan..."
Meng Dongchuan is the Queen's brother, Marquis Qingning.
"Your Majesty, you might as well ask the Meng family what they mean? If you want to get married, it can't be your choice." - Although the emperor has this privilege, it is best to get married on your own terms.
Yan Zheng pondered for a moment, "It's time to ask."
"Let's make a decision after we talk about it. The Meng family brothers and sisters are not too young either." Why make people wait so hard for the royal family?
In fact, it is reasonable for the descendants to want to marry the royal family, but the emperor did not say anything, and they did not dare to say anything.
