After lunch in Jintong courtyard, Wei Shengxian returned home in a complicated mood and dismissed all the people. He only told his two daughters in private: "your cousin suggested that this marriage should not be settled. I think it's reasonable for my mother to listen to her."
"The song west moon surface red ear red way:" the daughter but depends on the mother to make the decision Don't ask why.
Wei Shengxian was very satisfied with her daughter's knowledge and understanding. She had to explain to both of them: "your cousin said that Deng zongqi is a very good man. However, his parents died, and he is often protected by the imperial concubine. It is inevitable that he will be affected by the imperial concubine in the future." After talking about the enmity between the queen and the concubine in the palace and the current situation, I sighed, "in fact, your cousin said at the beginning that I thought this marriage would not end. From ancient times to the present, there is no simple matter related to the palace. Our family's own affairs are so troublesome. How can I find a family with many affairs for you? Don't mention the palace. Yesterday your second aunt also whispered that Deng zongqi's father had a grudge with the family, which made their brothers and sisters suffer a lot... "
Song ruxuan listened and couldn't help but remind: "mother, since our family doesn't plan to give our elder sister to the prince of Deng family, what can we do in case the lady of the imperial concubine takes a fancy to her elder sister?"
Wei Shengxian's worried way: "your cousin is pregnant now, and it's inconvenient to walk around! Your two aunts can't find any suitable people at a time Fortunately, Deng zongqi is in Xiliang now. I think he is just the nephew of the imperial concubine, not the prince. There is a queen pressing on the top of the princess. Even if she has this heart, it's not easy to ask for the Royal Decree of marriage, right? I'll take you back to Fengzhou to visit your relatives! Your grandmother will decide everything! "
That is to say, Wei Shengxian is afraid of increasing the pressure on his daughters, so he hides the last reminder from Wei Changying, who said: "the son of Deng family is now far away in Xiliang, so it is reasonable to discuss his marriage after three years. But the lady of the imperial concubine began to see each other now. It's obvious that either when she left, Mr. Deng entrusted the matter to the imperial concubine, or the imperial concubine decided to make her own decision! No matter which one it is, you have to prevent the imperial concubine from setting up Yuemei first! "
Wei Shengxian is more worried about this. Although Deng zongqi has made great achievements in Xiliang, he has also caught up with an excellent opportunity. But it's always going to war Liu Jizhao, the legitimate son of Liu family of Donghu, was able to die on the battlefield in Sangzi. Why not Deng zongqi, the son of a family who had no foundation in Xiliang?
I don't know whether I will be affected by the battle between the palace and the Tang clan when I marry my daughter to Deng zongqi. In case Deng zongqi has a bad life in the west, my daughter will guard his widowhood before she even sees her fiance. Wei Shengxian has two daughters. They have been nurtured like flowers, gentle and elegant for more than ten years. Would you like to change to a cold and ice cold chastity The memorial archway?!
Pretending to calm his daughters, Wei Shengxian always felt that he couldn't settle his sudden jump in his heart, as if he had some ominous premonition. However, if you want to refuse to propose marriage for your nephew, you must decide the marriage of the song Xiyue before the princess mentions it. Otherwise, with Deng zongqi's own face and that of the imperial concubine, Wei Shengxian can't think of any reliable reason to refuse.
"I'd better send someone to my husband's as soon as possible to talk with him..." Wei Shengxian thought to himself, "if it's not right, I'll take them back to Fengzhou under the pretext of visiting their relatives first, and ask their mother for help. Mother has always been resourceful and there must be a way!"
Thinking of the perfect mother in his mind, Wei Shengxian was a little relieved. He asked people to find a servant and send home letters to her husband. At the same time, he asked them to take care of their luggage and prepare to start at any time.
She has made a rough plan here, but she doesn't know that someone in the palace has noticed it too -
empress Gu took the sweet osmanthus and glutinous rice porridge presented by the little maid, ate it casually for two times, and put it in the little maid's hand: "reward you."
The little maid was very happy and thanked her. She took the porridge and retreated to one side. Yun advised: "Niangniang works day and night for the prince's royal wedding these days. She got up early this morning to receive the great gift from the prince and his concubine. It's really reduced a lot. It's just a good nourishing. How can I eat such a little today? "
"Maybe I'm tired." Empress Gu sighed and said, "I've been looking forward to finding my son and getting married. I'm too busy to have a rest. I don't want to be free now, but I have no appetite. "
"Chicken soup has been boiling in the small kitchen since last night. It's made of ginseng, not too much medicine. Or don't you want to have porridge and some soup? " As Yun said, some smart palace people went out at the foot of the wall and went to the kitchen to get them.
Empress Gu didn't want to drink chicken soup either. However, he couldn't help persuading the palace people again and again. After the palace people took it, they still drank most of the bowls, and the rest of the bowls were rewarded by the palace people.
After drinking chicken soup, the queen looked much better. She wanted to say something serious, so she sent all the palace people except Yun family.
"There were so many things at yesterday's banquet that we didn't have time to ask. It's said that the Deng family could not keep a Miss Song nearby for questioning?" Empress Gu asked, "which miss of the Song family is it? Don't be that one! "
Yun said: "the eldest Miss Song, who is the legitimate branch of Jiangnan hall, has been staying in the house since the accident. Previously, Mrs. Wei of the Shen family was pregnant. Because she was her cousin, she rarely went there. However, she was also wearing a valance hat, which made her face invisible. Let alone, if it were not for her accident, it would have been her who was the envy of yesterday's audience. Where would they go to the palace to celebrate? As usual"Who is that?" So far, when it comes to song Zaishui, it's hard for Empress Gu to feel sorry. This is not the first time that empress Gu has expressed her satisfaction with song Zaishui, the original daughter-in-law. She just chose Liu Ruoyu from the Liu family as the crown princess. It seems to outsiders that she did it. The Song family and the Wei family may not think it was their choice, but the Yun family knows that the inside is also the intention of empress Gu Think.
To this point, the cloud family is also very confused, but since empress Gu didn't tell her the meaning, the cloud family also knows that they shouldn't be talkative, replied: "it's the first daughter of song Tong, the governor of Ruanzhou, and her daughter's name is Xiyue."
"Ruanzhou is Zhongzhou, and sashimi is the top four." Empress Gu said to herself, "if there is no Deng's level, it would be more than enough to match Deng zongqi! After all, when his father passed away, he was only dismissed from Siping
Yun said: "the maid also thought of Deng's attention to the west moon of Song Dynasty, mostly for Deng zongqi. It's just that Deng zongqi is now in Xiliang. It's said that after three years of success, he can take the opportunity to marry the daughter of gaomen to strengthen his power! It seems odd that Deng Shi is now looking for someone for him. Or, is this the song Xiyue that she didn't look for Deng zongqi? "
Empress Gu narrowed her eyes and suddenly asked, "Shen Bo asked Nanwei to order Yue to be the imperial concubine Has he changed his mind these days? "
"No!" The cloud surname is busy way, "Niang is to say, Deng surname is to want this song Xiyue?"
"In fact, if you think about it now, there is nothing wrong with Wei Lingyue giving Shen Bo." Empress Gu said to herself, "after Weiqi was defeated by Weihuan, they raised up their old age in Fengzhou together. Zhibentang looks at the large number of heirs, but none of them are very outstanding. These two years are not enough. If Weiqi can't recover in a year or two, he will certainly show a declining trend. It's Ruiyu hall. It's said that Wei Changfeng is very outstanding. His elder sister Wei Changying is Shen Zanfeng's wife! Shen Xuan has also taken good care of Ruiyu hall over the years. Now the position of situ is also in the hands of Ruiyu Hall Even if the guard Changfeng can't take over ruiyutang, weishengyi has been on her own for many years, and his scheming is not bad
Yun said, "then, does the lady want to persuade the holy one to agree with him?"
"It's the Song Dynasty that has delayed the development of water." Empress Gu frowned and said, "it was time to get married last year. So in October this year, Shenbo was 16 years old, so she would marry him a princess and send him to seal the land. As a result, xun'er got married only yesterday. Shen Bo said he didn't dare to surpass his brother, but he didn't even leave until now! It seems that he is going to drag on the marriage again - it may not be all that the moon doesn't marry. "
The empress said to herself, "just, if Deng Shi is paying attention to this song Xiyue for Shenbo, what does she want to do? Can Shen Bo change his mind to ask song Xiyue to be the imperial concubine? Whether it's weilingyue or songxiyue, it's OK to be a queen. After all, the official positions of father and brother are not low, and they are all the legitimate daughters of the imperial court! How can I postpone the election? "
He asked, "did Shen Bo see the song Xiyue? Have you ever noticed her? "
"It's strange to say that his highness King Yi hasn't seen song Xiyue," said Yun
"The song Xiyue has nothing to do with the Deng family Even if you want to use the method of marriage to win Shenbo, it should be Deng's bend. How could it be the song Xiyue? " Empress Gu was puzzled, and asked, "there were so many maids I saw yesterday. I don't remember who song Xiyue was - how old she is and how she looks. Please say it again!"
The cloud surname says: "this young lady seems to be 16 years old? She is very beautiful. She is... " Just about to describe it in detail, Yun suddenly thought of a man, clapped his hands lightly, and said, "I don't need to bother to talk about it. What's ready-made can be compared with paintings. Do you still remember Mrs. Wei, wife of Shen Zanfeng, Wei Changying?"
Empress Gu nodded: "the future mistress of the Shen family in Xiliang is naturally remembered in this palace."
"That song Xiyue and Wei Changying, the wife of Wei, were cousins. They were born very similar, just like the first cousins of their father and mother." Yun said, "but song Xiyue's temperament is elegant and quiet, which is not as beautiful as Madame Wei."
"Like Wei Changying?" Empress Gu said, "it's a beauty. But Shen Bo didn't never see a beauty, only saw a Wei Lingyue... " Speaking of this, the queen suddenly looked thoughtful. After a while, she said, "I remember that in the second half of this year, the emperor's capital had several happy events, and Deng sent Yao Tao to run two times?"
The cloud surname didn't know what he meant, and said truthfully: "it was two occasions. Princess Chengxian of Prince run's mansion came out of the pavilion and went to the banquet where Miss Su's second daughter came out of the pavilion, reading the face of old lady Deng of the Su family."
"And Miss Su?" The empress Gu asked, "the two young ladies of the Su family are only one person away from the cabinet one by one. The eldest young lady left the cabinet and Deng didn't go with Yao Tao. Instead, the second young lady left the cabinet and she went with Yao Tao?"? You don't think it's suspicious? "
The cloud surname one Zheng, way: "hears that the Su family big room, three rooms have the dispute quite......"
"I haven't seen how close Deng is to the Su family before." The empress Gu sneered and said, "the holy one doesn't like to be disturbed by the imperial government, but the general movements in and out of the palace are also clear to him! Deng is the first cousin of the Holy One. Is it not clear about the holy meaning? Although the Holy One is in favor of reading, actually he is always on guard against them! If Deng dare to have a close relationship with SuoYu, where can the holy God believe her again? What's more, the Su family hasn't come out since they are fighting inside. What's her hand? That Su screen exhibition is very annoying! How could Deng family be allowed to kill each other at his knees! "The queen said, "Queen run was born in Ruiyu hall. When Princess Chengxian came out of the pavilion, Ruiyu hall was basically invited to run palace, right? This song and Western moon must be among them! "
The cloud surname was shocked and said: "Niang means that the Deng surname started to see the west moon of Song Dynasty from the runwang mansion? The next day, I went to the Su mansion to congratulate the second miss of the Su family. It's just a cover. The real purpose is to see the song Xiyue? "
She was surprised and said, "it's just the theory of identity, appearance and talent in the west of Song Dynasty Although it's good, it doesn't seem to be good enough to require Deng's attention, does it? "
"You forgot a little!" Empress Gu smiled coldly, raised her hand and rubbed her forehead. Then she said, "maybe it's the most important point! This song Xiyue was born very much like his cousin Wei Changying! "
The cloud surname was shocked and thought quickly. He took off his mouth and said: "isn't his highness King Yi But his highness didn't seem to see this lady Wei, did he? Before that, his highness Wang Yi saw that Wei Lingyue was not born like Wei Changying... "
"Shenbo?" Empress Gu squinted and said, "wrong! It's not him! It's Deng zongqi! Have you forgotten? Last autumn, Deng zongqi and others were ordered to pick up Zhong's family members in Qingzhou, passing by Xiaozhu mountain outside Fengzhou city. Because of the heavy rain, they asked for help from Ruiyu Hall who happened to live on the mountain. Before leaving the next day, it was Deng zongqi and Gu Yiran who thanked and said goodbye Because of this, Deng saved Wei Changying, who was resting in a bamboo Pavilion outside the house! It's said that Wei Changying was shocked when he found that the bamboo leaves near him were green. He asked his maid to keep Deng and Gu, and after finishing her appearance, he went to thank them in person! Maybe Deng zongqi saw Wei Changying's face at that time Even love her at first sight! Otherwise, Deng didn't go to Prince run's mansion to see Princess he Chengxian go out. It was only Yao Tao and Deng bending that went to Prince run's mansion! Yao Tao didn't see the song Xiyue on the day of runwang's mansion. I'm afraid that Deng curved. The next day, the Deng family sent Yao Tao to see it, and confirmed Deng curved's words. He took advantage of yesterday's son to get married... "
The cloud surname is stunned, after a moment can say: "if so, Niang, we?"
"How can you miss such a good opportunity?" Empress Gu curved her lips slightly, smiling like a smile.
