After Mrs. Gao knelt down and retreated, Shu Jin was thinking about what Concubine Mi had not finished saying just now.
"You just said, whose family does Hongxin like?" Shu Jin's heart was burning with gossip.
Mrs. Wu Zaku on the side couldn't help but squeeze the handkerchief tightly. It was broken. This matter... I haven't reported it to E Niang yet.
Concubine Mi smiled and looked at Wu Zhaku: "She is Wufujin's cousin, Li Jia's princess."
Shu Jin couldn't help but glance at Changli.
Mrs. Wu Zaku quickly laughed and said: "My son is also about to report this matter to E Niang. As you know, my son has no biological sisters. The closest one is only his aunt's cousin Qingluan, so Yonghu is one year old."
I also invited her during the ceremony, and my seventh brother had met her once. My ex-son, Shanshan, was one month old, and this was only the second time I met her. Unexpectedly, my seventh brother actually fell in love with her."
Wu Zhaku didn't expect that Brother Seven would actually persuade Concubine Mi.
"Qingluan?" Shu Jin smiled, "Your sisters' names match each other."
A Phoenix and a Qingluan.
Concubine Mi also smiled and nodded: "They are all noble and auspicious names."
Mrs. Wu Zhaku said hurriedly: "I don't dare to praise you like this as a mother-in-law. It's just to ask for good wishes."
Concubine Mi smiled and said: "Anyway, he is a nice little princess, and I like her very much. I wonder if the imperial concubine can be a matchmaker for my concubine Hongxin?"
Shu Jin was speechless, "We've only met twice now, wouldn't it be too impatient? Besides, Hongxin is still young." A fifteen or sixteen-year-old child, at the age of a middle school student, would decide a life-long event like this?
"What's more, how can we have the final say in this kind of thing?" The prince's marriage must be granted by the emperor.
Concubine Mi sighed and said: "Of course I understand that I need to ask the emperor for instructions before I can count. But I saw that my fifth elder brother had both children, so I was inevitably a little anxious. The imperial concubine only thought that she felt sorry for me, so she took my place.
Go and beg the Emperor with Hongxin."
Concubine Mi knew that the emperor did not value Hongxin that much. It would be a great marriage for Hongxin to marry his fifth brother, not to mention that the girl was indeed beautiful.
Seeing Concubine Mi's pleading, Shu Jin thought for a moment and asked, "Does Hongxin really like her?"
Concubine Mi smiled and said, "What's the point? In fact, when Yong Hu turned one year old, Hong Xin remembered it in his heart."
Falling in love at first sight at such a young age?
Shu Jin looked at Changli: "How old is your Qingluan cousin?"
And he must be a false age, that is, he is only thirteen!!
Those who buy cakes are too young to fall in love, right?
Seeing that the imperial concubine's face was a little stiff, Mrs. Wu Zaku said with a sneer, "Your uncle, I'm just a member of the Ministry of Industry. His rank is indeed a bit low, and he is not worthy of his seventh brother."
Concubine Mi hurriedly said: "Character, talent, and virtue are the most important thing. Besides, it is also the Three Banners of Manchuria."
Hongxin is an ordinary brother. There is no need to marry Fujin, who has an outstanding family background. Good appearance and good temperament are the most important.
Of course, what Concubine Mi valued was whether Li Jia was the cousin of Wu Fujin. In this way, Hongxin and Wu Age were both brothers and brothers-in-law, and their relationship would become even closer in the future.
Concubine Mi added: "What's more, Hongxin likes it."
When her son grew up and his love for love blossomed, Concubine Mi couldn't bear to make him sad and disappointed.
Wu Zhaku sighed: "My son invited her to the palace because he wanted to show her the world. It would be great if he could point out a clan relative in the future. Unexpectedly, he fell in love with the seventh brother and his mother.
edge."
Shu Jin secretly thought that this was humility. Even if Changli didn't originally have that thought, the Wu Zaku family and the Li family must have had such thoughts.
It can't be regarded as Xiao Xiang. At the age of thirteen or fourteen, this girl was able to attract Hongxin's attention at a glance, so she was obviously a beauty. And to be able to attract Concubine Mi, she must have good manners and rules.
Shu Jin sighed, since everyone was right, why should she beat the couple?
"That's all, I'll mention this to the emperor, but don't have high expectations." After all, his family background was relatively low, so Yongzheng might not be able to take notice of him.
Concubine Mi smiled brightly: "If your sister is willing to speak, then half of the matter will be settled!"
It was a coincidence that the emperor arrived at Danning Palace in the afternoon of the next day. Shu Jin had just woken up from his nap at that time, so he had to hurriedly change his clothes and make up to welcome the emperor.
Yongzheng is now getting older and older, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes are like catching flies, his beard is filled with more than half silver thread, and so is his hair.
Shu Jin personally served tea as usual, and then slowly reported to the emperor that Concubine Mi and her son had fallen in love with the little girl Li Jia Qingluan.
"It's also Hong Zhou's fault. He actually set up matchmaking for his younger brother in private without telling me in advance!" - Without Hong Zhou's nodding, how could Chang Li dare to specialize in this kind of thing?
Yongzheng took a sip of Biluochun and said, "You are a good mother-in-law." - The couple obviously conspired, but you only blamed Hongzhou. If it had been Concubine Xi, you would have put all the blame on the Fucha family.
Shu Jin: What do you mean???
After thinking for a moment, he finally understood the emperor's thinking. Shu Jin smiled and said, "Although she is Changli's cousin, Changli would not dare to do such a thing without Hong Zhou's instigation."
Yongzheng said "Hmm", these daughters-in-law were all filial and virtuous, except for the son who was a bastard.
What Hong Zhou did in private might have been concealed from Shu Jin, but how could it be concealed from Yong Zheng's eyes and ears?
Yongzheng had long known about Hong Zhou's intention to marry his sister-in-law to his younger brother, and he had already called the Niangan Department to investigate.
Shu Jin said with a smile: "It's rare that Concubine Mi likes her. I don't want to be a bad person. So I thought of asking the emperor for instructions and checking the character of the little girl from the Li Jia family."
Yongzheng said calmly: "My character is not bad, plus I have read a few books and my appearance is outstanding. No wonder Hongxin was fascinated by it all of a sudden!" - After only two meetings, she wanted to marry him. It was really embarrassing.
Look! He doesn’t have the stability and dignity that a prince’s elder brother should have at all!
As he spoke, Yongzheng put down the tea cup in his hand with a clang.
Shu Jin's heart tightened, why did he look a little angry?
"If the emperor thinks it's inappropriate, forget it." It's a pity for Hongxin's boyish heart. On the other hand, the little girl from the Li Jia family is very reserved and has not even spoken to Hongxin in private.
Yongzheng said coldly: "When did I say it was inappropriate?!"
Shu Jin: What do you mean?!
"That's it!" Yong Zheng sighed helplessly, and my teachings to Hong Xin were too lenient. "Hong Xin has not been a steady person since he was a child."
Shu Jin complained: How stable do you expect a teenager to be?!
Shu Jin had no choice but to say pleasantly: "The Seventh Prince is innocent in nature, frank and sincere." Well, he is not like Yongzheng at all.
Probably for this reason, Yongzheng never liked this son very much.
