Chapter 109：

Time reversed to two hours before the banquet.

In the Ganlu Palace, the Emperor Zhou looked calmly at Pei Changzhou, "Don't be too short-sighted, you have to take a long-term view, if you can get married with Dingbei Hou Mansion, it will do you a lot of benefit and no harm!"

Pei Changzhou squeezed his fists and was very unwilling. "Mother, you saw Xu Wenchan the last time in Qiu Shou. She was born so dark, and her waist was thicker than mine, her voice was louder, and her mannerisms were vulgar and not half-pointed. Gentleness...how can such a woman be my imperial concubine! To put it ugly, sleeping with her in the same bed makes me feel uncomfortable all over!"

Empress Zhou frowned, "How can it be so exaggerated as you said, I think the girl has a beautiful appearance and good features, but the skin is darker, and it will be white if you raise it."

Seeing that Queen Zhou was still turning towards Xu Wenchan, his face turned blue again, and gritted his teeth, "I don't want to marry her! There are so many beautiful ladies in Chang'an City, why did the queen give me a picture of her! "

Queen Zhou coldly snorted, "There are so many beautiful little ladies in Chang'an City, which one has the strength of Dingbeihou? He holds a half-million imperial army amulet and has a high reputation in the northwest. The influence of zhong is not trivial, it is highly valued and trusted by your father..."

She picked up the teacup and took a sip, and analyzed, "Dingbeihou will not mention it for the time being. He said that the seven sons of the Xu family, none of them, all of them are brave and courageous warriors. If there is a war in the future, they promise The star of the family can hold up most of the sky! What's your dissatisfaction with such a capable Yue family?"

Pei Changzhou's thick eyebrows tightened, "I don't know what you said about the queen, my son doesn't know, but..."

"What is it? This big girl is the jewel held in the palm of Dingbeihou. If she becomes your imperial concubine, Dingbeihou can't fully support you?"

Having said this, Queen Zhou gave him a squint, "As the old saying goes, marry a wife and marry a virtuous person. Don't always look at your face and figure, but see if your wife's clan can help you. When you take that position smoothly, you will I don’t care if you want to take in the concubine according to your will. You have to listen to me when it comes to marrying a regular wife."

Empress Zhou's remarks were justified and well-founded, both soft and hard, really made Pei Changzhou's mind shaken.

He thought about it, raised his eyes and asked, "Mother, are you sure that this marriage can be done? That Xu Wenchan has frequent contacts with the princess, and the princess is afraid that she will often speak ill of us in front of her."

Queen Zhou said indifferently, "Well, a woman, from my father at home, marrying from my husband. As long as she marries you, you can coax her gently, and your heart will turn to you? What's more, marriage Major events, the words of the matchmaker ordered by your parents, as long as your father gave her the marriage, where is it her turn to be a little girl willing to marry."

Pei Changzhou was stunned, and immediately, "Mother, are you planning tonight..."

Empress Zhou pursed her red lips and narrowed her beautiful eyes, "First, explore the wind in front of your father, to see his reaction, and act accordingly."

She took a deep look at Pei Changzhou, with a kind expression, "Changzhou, you have to believe that the queen, everything arranged by the queen is for your consideration."

Pei Changzhou silently nodded solemnly, "My son knows."

But in my heart, I thought to myself that if you marry, you will marry. When he sits on the dragon chair and becomes the emperor, if Xu Wenchan is in peace, he can still leave her with the identity of a queen. If it's restless, it's not difficult after left and right.

………

And when it comes to the banquet, Xu Wenchan was completely stunned, holding a honeydew melon in his hand, not knowing what to do for a while.

The seven older brothers and six sister-in-laws of the Xu family were also taken aback. Yesterday a mother was still complaining about the marriage between the seventh brother and the younger sister. Unexpectedly, today, the empress and the empress actually fell in love with their younger sister. The mother's mouth was open. Excessive, right?

Dingbei Hou and Madam Hou were stunned for a while, and soon recovered. After the couple exchanged glances, Madam Hou smiled and said, "The queen, mother, the little girl is stupid, how can I afford to be praised like a mistress? Mother, sound ashamed."

"Mrs. Hou don't have to be too humble." Queen Zhou smiled kindly, and then gently beckoned to Xu Wenchan, "Come on, Wenchan, come to this palace and let this palace take a closer look."

Xu Wenchan, "..."

It was suddenly.

But when the queen had spoken, she could only bite the bullet and stepped forward, respectfully saluting the empress and the princess Jingyang.

Empress Zhou squinted her hand and smiled with great satisfaction. After a few words of praise, she turned to look at Emperor Zhaokang, "Your Majesty, this child is a blessed one, honestly and ethically, without arrogance or rashness. I don't know. How does your majesty feel?"

Xu Wenchan was panicked, her hands were shaking.

Fortunately, Tao Ti and Qing He were sitting left and right, giving her a little strength anyway, otherwise she really wanted to roll her eyes and poke over.

Tao Ti saw Xu Wenchan's trembling shoulders, and couldn't help biting her lip, clutching the brocade dress tightly with her hand.

She has to think of a way, she can't see A Chan go to the fire pit.

But what to do? She can't jump out and shout: I am against this marriage, am I?

Just as she racked her brains, a warm hand held her hand.

Tao Ti slowly raised his eyes, facing Pei Yan's dark eyes that were as deep as a pool, he told her with his eyes: Don't panic.

Tao Ti frowned, still nervous: Don't panic, don't think of a way, if your majesty really grants the marriage, then A Chan will be ruined in this life!

Pei Yan pretended to help her tidy up the pearl hairpin, leaned to her ear a little, and whispered, "Let's take a look."

His warm breath sprayed on the side of her neck, itchy like a spring breeze.

Inexplicably, Tao Ti also calmed down a bit, nodded at him, and then continued to stare at him.

Emperor Zhaokang glanced at Xu Wenchan calmly, a deep thought flashed through his indifferent eyes, and he groaned, "Well, the tiger father has no dog girls, and he has the demeanor of Beihou."

Xu Wenchan, "..." I feel that you are connoting that I am ugly and have the evidence.

Suddenly, there was a "pouch" laugh from the audience, as if it could not hold back.

Who is so presumptuous?

When everyone looked at it, they saw Xiao Gongye Xie next to the host of Qinghe County.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were attracted by him, Little Grandpa Xie suppressed his smile and turned his eyes towards Emperor Zhaokang, "Uncle forgive me."

Emperor Zhaokang glanced at his nephew faintly and didn't care about him. He only put his gaze on Ding Beihou and asked Shen Shen, "Xu Aiqing, I want to be your relatives, what do you think?"

Dingbei Hou was about to stand up and talk, but Zhaokang stopped him, so he sat, his burly steel plate is generally straight, and his voice sounded like a bell. Not a good match for the Second Highness. Please also your Majesty and the Queen to find another beautiful woman for the Second Highness."

The seven elder brothers of the Xu family also straightened their bodies and looked at Emperor Zhaokang in unison, with the same attitude as Dingbeihou.

Emperor Zhaokang looked at Dingbeihou’s reaction, thinking a little out of time. Dingbeihou looked at a rough and reckless man, but he taught his sons very well, saying that the family is in harmony and everything is prosperous, and their brothers in the house are harmonious, and Taking care of my sister is really rare in a large family with a large population. On the other hand, his children...

How much brotherhood can there be in the royal family, intrigue and intrigue?

He was silent, and everyone was hanging on their hearts.

Empress Zhou was not sure in her heart, for fear that Emperor Zhaokang would not agree, she hurriedly added, "Dingbeihou is really polite. My palace feels that your family smells good cicadas. You can't look down on my emperor, so you said so. Bar?"

Dingbeihou choked.

Queen Zhou said again, "Your Majesty, the concubine heard that Wen Chan has always had a good relationship with the princess. The two are like sisters. If she can marry Changzhou, will they be more beautiful in the future if they become concubines?"

At this time, Zuoxiang's wife Liu also came out to help her, her tongue was bright and lotus, and she really praised Xu Wenchan a few words.

Xu Wenchan was dumbfounded: She didn't even know she was so good!

Now the situation on the court is very clear. Empress Zhou is very fond of Xu Wenchan's daughter-in-law, but Dingbei Houfu is not willing to marry. Emperor Zhaokang's attitude is ambiguous and there is no conclusion yet.

At this time, the princess Jingyang said lazily, "Queen, although the parents make the order for the marriage of the children, but the two children should like each other and be willing to each other. If you like Miss Xu, it is not you who live with her. If you want me to say, you also have to ask the children's wishes."

Queen Zhou's eyelids twitched, and she smiled, "Yes, that's the reason."

She winked at Pei Changzhou, and Pei Changzhou immediately understood, Shi Shiran got up, and sincerely expressed her admiration for Xu Wenchan.

Tao Ti sneered at her heart: The scumbag talked about love, but he was still the same and disgusting.

Pei Changzhou made it clear here, and Queen Zhou looked at Xu Wenchan eagerly, "Wenchan, what do you say?"

Of course Xu Wenchan was unwilling, but Queen Zhou's aura was too strong, and she stared straight at her, staring at her frightened.

She didn't have much prospects. Seeing such a big scene, she squashed her words, "The courtiers and the courtiers feel that the second Royal Highness is among the dragon and the phoenix. The courtiers...have no ink on her chest and are of average character..."

Seeing her struggling to suffocate her words, another person stood up in the field and bowed his hands to Emperor Zhaokang and Empress Zhou, "Uncle, aunt, and nephew have something to tell."

Seeing Xiaogongye Xie suddenly appeared, Empress Zhou's expression was subtle, and Emperor Zhaokang raised her eyebrows, "Say."

Little Grandpa Xie took a deep look at Xu Wenchan, and solemnly said, "In fact, my nephew is also pleased with Miss Xu, but he is just timid and has never found a suitable opportunity to express his heart."

Xu Wenchan felt a little in his heart: Come again? There is no end! !

She looked incredibly at the cold-hearted little grandpa Xie, her eyes widened, and she asked silently: This big brother, we don't have much friendship, we don't have to sacrifice ourselves.

Princess Jingyang was also taken aback. She had a good impression of the Xu family brothers and sisters, so she spoke up to protect this little fat girl. It can be maintained and maintained. It doesn't mean that she has to catch her own son!

She looked at Little Grandpa Xie angrily, "Yunshi, don't mess around."

Xie Xiaogong said, "Mother, I didn't mess around."

Princess Jingyang frowned.

On the other side, Tao Ti was also taken aback by this sudden reversal.

When she came back to her senses, she leaned over to Pei Yan and murmured, "I haven't heard the little grandfather Xie have such thoughts about A Chan? Your Highness, do you think he is willing to help others, or what?"

Pei Yan looked at her sideways, and smiled lightly, "Who can say clearly about feelings."

Tao Ti saw him smiling and squinted suspiciously, "Your Highness, do you know something?"

Pei Yan's lips were thin and lightly opened, "Yun Shi happened to meet with Miss Xu once, saying that she is very interesting and different from other women."

Tao Ti slapped his tongue. If Qinghe and Xu Qige, A Chan and Xie Xiaogye were all finished, it would be ridiculous that Zhou's family had spent all their scheming on the trip to Zhuyuan Villa.

When she was thinking about it, Emperor Zhaokang, who had been silent for a long time, said, "I won't mess with the mandarin duck book. I will put this matter aside for the time being, and I will talk about it later. Today is the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, everyone is lively, eat and drink well. Have a good time."

Empress Zhou was startled and wanted to say it again. Emperor Zhaokang glanced over, and she closed her mouth with interest.

Emperor Zhaokang asked Xu Wenchan to return to his position first. Xu Wenchan responded tremblingly. He just turned around, his legs were straight and soft, he staggered and almost fell.

At this moment-

Little Grandpa Xie leaned forward subconsciously, frowning with worry.

Pei Changzhou was stern, frowning, but showing contempt.

The two people's reaction was received by Emperor Zhaokang, and there was a conclusion in their hearts.
