Chapter 292: Take it lightly and hidden dangers lurk
When Concubine Hui heard what the queen said, she couldn't help but feel despair in her heart.
I wanted to say something, but I couldn't decide how to say it for a moment, for fear of accidentally saying the wrong thing.
He had no choice but to smile, but the bitterness in his smile could not be concealed no matter what.
"Your Majesty is getting old and does not want to start any more conquests. After all, once weapons are used, it will not only destroy the country's power, but also kill people." The queen spoke softly, but every word was like an ice needle, directed towards Concubine Hui.
His heart was stabbed, "No wonder Your Majesty is worried."
The more she said this, the more Concubine Hui's heart sank. Compared with state affairs, the marriage of the Sixth Princess naturally seemed insignificant.
She only felt that in the whole world, she was the only one who loved her daughter. But this love was so useless compared with the imperial family and country.
Seeing that the heat was almost over, the Queen sighed softly and said: "Sister, although I have not given birth to a daughter, I am a woman. I know that marrying a woman is the most important thing in this life, whether she is a commoner or a princess of the heavenly family.
If I had a daughter, I wouldn't want her to marry in that desolate and cold frontier."
When Concubine Hui heard what the Queen said, she knelt down directly and took the Queen's hand, as if holding a life-saving rope: "Queen, these few words of yours have spoken to my heart. Compared with you, I can't do anything.
She is a boudoir woman with little knowledge. Although she knows that publicity is better than selfishness, she just can't bear to suffer for the flesh she sheds.
When I think of seeing her often after getting married, I still have some hope for my life. If she really gets married thousands of miles away, I'm afraid my life will be dead after she leaves the palace.
I don't dare to tell anyone these words, but I don't want to hide anything in front of the Queen. It's because you are the most considerate and compassionate.
Queen, if you can allow the Sixth Princess to stay in the capital, we, mother and daughter, will spend our next lives working as cows and horses to repay your kindness."
"Sister, get up! What are you doing? We are sisters in the same family. If you don't tell me what's on your mind, who will you tell it to?" The queen only waited until Concubine Hui said what she wanted to hear before she told her.
He pulled her up and said, "Don't say anything about repaying me in the next life. As long as my sister sincerely cares about me, that's enough."
"Yes, yes, you should not wait until the next life to repay the Queen." Concubine Hui said while wiping her tears, "From now on, I only have you, the Queen, in my heart. If you think I am of some use, I can."
You can ask for anything. Although I don't have much talent, I still have a lot of loyalty."
The queen knew very well that Concubine Hui posed no threat to her, and she did not have any palace, so she was very easy to control.
So he smiled and said: "This matter is not a trivial matter, and I can't rush it, but I will do my best."
She didn't say anything because she wanted to use this matter to control Concubine Hui and her daughter.
"With a word from your concubine, I feel confident." Concubine Hui was naturally grateful.
"It's always the elders who have to worry about when a man gets married and when a girl gets married. It's okay for Liu Yatou. We have to wait until the emperor's ceremony is over before deciding." The queen changed the topic slightly, "Two.
The prince's dormitory is really worrying. I asked him several times if he liked it, but he said no. What I know is that he doesn't have a suitable candidate in mind, but what I don't know is that I don't do my best!"
"The Second Prince has always been closest to the Queen, and his biological mother has never worried so much about him." Concubine Hui followed the Queen's words and said, "Everything in the harem must be decided by you, especially the children.
Our marriage."
"The second prince's marriage is no different than any other. Firstly, he is the continuation of the marriage. Secondly, when it comes to the emperor's grand ceremony, he is the only one besides the eldest prince. The princes and concubines are standing together, but he is the only one, looking at each other.
nice."
"Your Majesty is very considerate. There are some girls of the right age among the nobles in the capital." Concubine Hui said, "If you choose carefully, you should be able to select them."
Then I talked about a few that I thought were pretty good.
But they were all rejected by the Queen one by one.
"Speaking of which, the children of any family are naturally good, but they must be suitable." Concubine Hui said, "I went to Concubine Fu two days ago, and she also talked about the concubine of the fifth prince.
Relatives also asked her to protect her."
After hearing this, the queen asked casually: "Whose child is it?"
"It's Uncle Lan Ning's youngest daughter, the girl named Jin Lingyi." Concubine Hui said with a smile, "That child is well-behaved and has a stable temperament."
The queen naturally knew about Jin Lingyi, but she would not marry the second prince to someone from Concubine Fu.
She still had to make a choice with the Yao family, at least she had to be a capable vassal.
Concubine Hui also felt that the situation was somewhat embarrassing, and was thinking about how to make amends when Liang Jing came in.
So he said: "I have been harassing the Queen for some time, but it's time to go back."
Then he said: "Come back tomorrow to say hello."
The queen didn't stay, and just said: "Sister, I'm tired of coming here, so go back and rest!"
After Concubine Hui left, the queen said to Liang Jing: "Concubine Xian is grounded, and I want to ask them to send some of the fruits they paid tribute to recently, as well as Chun Ping. Don't let people think that I am a heartless person."
"The younger one is thinking about these two matters, so I don't have to worry about them," Liang Jing said.
"I was thinking, what do you think about promoting the Liu family after this incident is over?" The queen stood up and sat on the soft couch, while Liang Jing patted her shoulders and back.
"Your Majesty, you have given enough favor to the Liu family," Liang Jing reminded. "Sometimes you favor too much, and I am afraid it will make them greedy and they will not know how to be grateful."
Concubine Xian's elder brother Liu Mizhang serves as a minister in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and her younger brother Liu Mi-sun serves in the Ministry of Punishments, both of which are important official positions.
"Alas! The Ma family has fallen, and the Yao family has never been prosperous. We have to find ways to cultivate helpers." The queen also had her own considerations, "If there are not enough colleagues, how can we rest assured?"
"But I have always felt that it is necessary to be on guard against others." Liang Jing reminded in a low voice, "A good concubine will have a son after all..."
He did not tell what Xue Hengzhao told him. Firstly, there is no corresponding evidence now. Secondly, if the queen knew that this was said by someone from Concubine Fu, not only would she not believe it, she might even be suspicious of herself.
"Yes, it's not that I don't watch out for them," the queen sighed, "but they are quite capable, and besides, the sixth child is not someone who can achieve anything. Besides, the Liu family is far from becoming a powerful one. They only have two brothers.
, just returned to the capital, and there are no party members."
The sixth prince is straightforward and casual, and has no ambitions. Not only the queen knows this.
The Liu family is now just helping the Yao family, and those who can reach the Yao family will naturally not take the Liu family seriously.
