The queen prepared a lot of portraits of men with good family backgrounds and good looks. When she saw her coming, she quickly waved for her to come over.
"In the same way, come and take a look. Our mother has prepared many portraits of marriageable men these days. Come and see if you like any of them."
The painting skills of painters these days are really average.
Chu Yiran flipped through the album. If she hadn't seen the other person's name and identity at the top of the album, she wouldn't have been able to tell who was who.
Chu Yiran silently closed the portrait.
"My mother, she also has someone she likes."
The queen was stunned, "Didn't it happen a few days ago?"
"We just met these days."
"..." She has been at Prince Jing's Mansion these days.
As if remembering something, the queen frowned slightly, "It can't be Black Eagle, right?"
"No, no, I don't like that wood."
The Queen breathed a sigh of relief, "Who is that?"
"The emperor's sister-in-law's foster brother, Mo Yu."
"The new brother Su Xing'er recognizes?"
"right!"
"..." It's not as good as the Black Hawk.
After all, Black Eagle knows the basics.
Su Xing'er's sworn brother didn't even know which corner he came from.
The queen thought of something and her face suddenly sank, "No."
Chu Yiran was stunned, "Mother, didn't you say that as long as my son likes me, that's fine?"
"That Mo Yu can't do it anyway."
The Queen said sternly, "You have only been in Prince Jing's Mansion for half a month and you have fallen in love with the people around Su Xing'er. Su Xing'er must have done it on purpose. She hates the Queen Mother. Maybe she set that Mo Yu on you on purpose."
set."
"Queen Mother..." "Queen Mother did say that it's fine if you like her, but... you are completely different from that Mo Yu. There is a huge difference."
"..." Chu Yiran bit his lip and stopped talking.
The queen looked distressed and said, "That's true, my mother just wants you to live a good life..." "Who can you marry to ensure that you live a good life?"
Chu Yiran smiled bitterly, "Mother, I know that you want to find someone to rely on, but... if you prepare for the worst, if it comes to that, you and the two royal brothers will be gone, no matter who you marry.
, they can’t protect their sons and ministers.”
"Rather than that, it's better to find someone who makes you feel comfortable. Mo Yu has no elders or relatives. If something happens, at least he won't bring down his whole family.
If everything goes well, and with the queen mother and the emperor's brother here, he won't dare to bully his sons and ministers, how wonderful it would be."
"..." The queen was silent.
After a while, she frowned and said, "Do you really like that Mo Yu?"
Chu Yiran nodded affirmatively.
She likes the food cooked by Mo Yu, which can be considered a kind of liking.
"You... let the Queen Mother think about it. You are the apple of the Queen Mother's eye. Even if you want to marry, you have to wait until the Queen Mother has examined his identity and character."
The queen was in a mess and waved her hand to leave. Chu Yiran knew that she must think carefully and left obediently. After Chu Yiran left, the queen's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"Empress?"
"It's all that Su Xing'er!"
The queen was so angry that she slammed the table, "If I let this palace know that she is deliberately plotting, I will kill her!"
Aunt Rong came over to comfort her, "Princess Jing should not be so courageous."
"She even dares to mention Heli. She is very brave."
"..." Even Grandma Rong didn't know what to say this time.
"Mother Rong."
"The old slave is here."
"Have people carefully investigate this Mo Yu's background, down to the smallest details. I want to know everything about him."
"yes!"
After responding, Grandma Rong did not leave immediately. She looked at the Queen and hesitated to speak.
"Whatever it is, tell me directly."
"Today, when Mrs. Taifu came to the palace to deliver these portraits, she said a few words to the old slave. The old slave felt very uneasy."
"What words?"
"A few days ago, when you ordered the Taifu's wife to find a man of marriageable age, the Taifu's wife specially held a banquet at home and invited the famous ladies in the capital to come there, hoping to find out more about which young masters were good."
The Queen nodded in agreement, "The Taifu's wife is the Crown Princess's biological mother, and it involves her lifelong happiness, so she really doesn't dare to be careless.
But something went wrong at the party?"
"That's not true."
Grandma Rong gritted her teeth and said, "The Taifu's wife asked the old slave to tell the empress that... after the banquet, the General Xiaoqi's wife from the Zhenguo General's Mansion personally went to the Taifu's Mansion and took the initiative to hand it over to their house.
The portrait of the young master says that he has been in love with the princess for a long time and wants to marry her."
General Zhenguo is the biological father of Concubine Wang.
General Xiaoqi is the biological brother of Concubine Wan Gui.
The young master of General Xiaoqi is Wan Caili, the direct nephew of Concubine Wan Gui.
Concubine Wan Gui's brother has two legitimate sons, the eldest son Wan Caihou and the youngest son Wan Caili. The Wan family is a general family, so they have high hopes for the eldest son.
The eldest son Wan Caihou was personally raised by General Zhenguo. Therefore, Wan Caihou was young but had a calm personality.
It is said that he has superb martial arts skills and is both wise and brave.
Now Wan Caihou is working beside King Jiang and is King Jiang's right-hand man.
But Wan Cai Li is completely different.
Because Wan Caihou had to suffer from martial arts training since he was a child, after Wan Caili was born, Concubine Wan Guifei's sister-in-law, Mrs. General Xiaoqi, refused to send Wan Caili to the old man to raise her.
She personally educated Wan Caili, but she raised Wan Caili into a dandy with an oily head and a pink face.
A few years ago, Wan Caili came to the palace once and met her by chance. From then on, she fell in love with her. Concubine Wan Guifei often mentioned this to the emperor.
The Queen sounded anxious and angry, "That bastard is still thinking about you. That bastard is only seventeen this year, but he has taken in a lot of wives, a lot of concubines, and given birth to several children.
With his virtue, even if he still wants to marry him, he doesn’t even want to see if he is worthy or not!”
"..." Aunt Rong quickly patted her on the back, "I knew you would react this way, so I didn't dare to tell you."
The queen's hands were shaking with anger.
It took her a long time to calm down, "We and the Wan family have been locked in a fight to the death for a long time. The Wan family is a den of wolves. It's the same if you want to get married. Let's just dream."
Aunt Rong looked worried and said, "Madam, I am a little worried."
"worry about what?"
"Now that Concubine Wan Gui is being favored and Prince Jiang is also favored by the emperor, the old slave is worried that Concubine Wan Gui will turn a deaf ear to her in front of the emperor. If the emperor is soft-hearted and agrees, the princess's life will be ruined."
"The emperor will not agree. Yiran is the eldest princess and his most beloved daughter. He will not push Yiran into the fire pit."
"But... I'm just afraid. Your Majesty doesn't think the Wan family is a pit of fire."
"..." The queen's face suddenly turned cold.
That's right.
Grandma Rong is right to worry.
The emperor favors Wanshi so much. He has never seen Wancaili several times before. Wanshi will only talk about the advantages of Wancaili in front of him. What if the emperor is persuaded and thinks that Wancaili is a good home?
!No! The queen stood up suddenly, "Yi Ran's marriage must be settled as soon as possible. Nanny, go check on that Mo Yu quickly. I want to know everything about him as soon as possible."
