Chapter 311.
Huo Mingyu shakes her head, “Once upon a time in the capital I still blamed my brother for disciplining me at every turn. When I went to his side, I saw that he didn’t even have a few new clothes, and that he was often busy and forgot to eat, so he just nibbled on a few mouthfuls of cold rice to pad his belly, and only then did I realize that it was really not easy for him.
“Of course, most of the generals in the barracks, who did not enjoy the blessings there, but there is nothing to say. It’s just that sometimes I think that it would be nice to have someone close to me to take good care of him. Although I can accompany him, but there are still some things can not replace the wife ah. He refuses to take the trouble to do so, so I really can’t help it.”
Empress Lu stared, “Last time he came back, I told him about it. I should be the reason for this, I’ve spoiled your brothers by delaying marriage, and as a result, your brother has also learned this bad habit. Originally there is nothing wrong, just he is not in the capital, also can not find a woman who is in love with, can only rely on the lead.
“However, I have already put the city girls in the heart over again, the family is comparable, are some delicate girl, may not be able to stand this dull and strict character, not to mention that the emperor still need to let him guard the border, into a marriage must be able to go to the border to eat bitter. These ladies can not even take care of themselves, let alone take care of him. Without a certain amount of affection, they can’t do anything to stick around.
“If you are looking for a person who can endure hardship and has a low family background – I myself don’t care about matching family backgrounds, but if I can match my family’s background, I can obviously be more able to talk together and be able to help him out. Let him marry a small family, I inwardly still feel aggrieved by him.
“Good in the camp these years let him governance is good, this time he came back, in addition to the case, see the emperor can not stay him some more days, if this period can meet a he himself favorite, all aspects and good, that is really all happy.”
“Letting the empress dowager worry about us is unfilial of us.”
“Silly child.” Empress Dowager Lu gently stroked her head, “Auntie has always treated you as her own children, it’s out of line to say this. Our royal family, all together there are not many people. When the late emperor brought down the kingdom, it was for everyone to lead the dynasty to build peace, so we should continue to be so harmonious and united.”
Huo Mingyu leans into the empress dowager’s arms, her eyes reddening, “I missed you when I left these days!”
Empress Dowager Lu smiles and pats her back, “Let’s find a place to drink tea, tell me about the situation of women and girls in Guangxi, how is the situation of the Flower Moon Society over there?”
……
The emperor and Huo Xiu went out of the imperial garden, and went back to Qianqing Palace to change clothes first.
Four Happiness came up and whispered.
The emperor hears this, and after thinking about it, he immediately commands, “Send it over. And then prepare some needle and thread and so on, search for some novelty knick-knacks to install.”
Four Happiness accepts the order.
Huo Xiu was curious: “Which family’s children?”
The emperor grabbed a piece of practicing clothing and tossed it to him, smiling, “My little daughter-in-law.”
Huo Xiu drifted off, then couldn’t help but smile as well.
Marquis Qingyun is also in the mansion today, and there are quite a few women in the house, so the festive atmosphere is naturally thick. When he was watching the children chattering and hanging lanterns under the porch with his negative hand, the oldest four, Zhao Ying, came.
“Second brother went to the Tang family earlier?”
Marquis Qingyun nodded and turned around, “Tomorrow evening set up a table for a banquet, I’ll invite the two Tang Chengs to sit at home.”
Zhao Ying led down. Then he said, “Do we still have to invite Marquis Wei Yuan to a banquet later on as well?”
Hearing this, Marquis Qingyun slowly nodded, “Although I haven’t worked with the old Marquis Weiyuan for a long time, we both lived in the capital, so there’s always a bit of friendship. Furthermore, we will be relatives in the future, so of course, this courtesy must be done. By the way, in the name of Sister Su, the Yanping County Lord solemnly invited on. As for who to invite as a companion, let sister Su use her discretion.”
Zhao Ying nodded. He added, “I heard that the Weiyuan Marquis siblings just arrived at the residence, and the Empress Dowager sent someone to summon them. The palace has also long since packed up the county princess’s residence, and the empress dowager did this – she really doesn’t know what her intentions are either.”
Marquis Qingyun turned around with his hands in the air and glanced at him.
Zhao Ying walked towards the front of the corridor with him, and said, “The county princess was a childhood friend of the emperor, and it wasn’t as if no one had guessed that county princess Yanping would be the queen candidate, but then the county princess suddenly left the capital to go to Guangxi, and only then did no one mention it gradually. According to say if the palace has this meaning, earlier should be set down, if not this meaning, this moment and why also take the county princess into the palace to live?”
“The empress dowager has been treating the county princess as a daughter, once upon a time, the county princess lived in the palace, and now that she is back, isn’t it normal for her to accompany the empress dowager in the palace? Wouldn’t it be awkward if she were to be suddenly rustic?” Marquis Qingyun looked at him askance, “Don’t speculate.”
“I wouldn’t dare to think too much, it’s just ……” Zhao Ying sighed, “It’s just that in this half day’s work today, everyone outside is talking about the empress dowager’s favor towards county princess Yanping. Second brother, you say the palace will not originally heart to Yanping County Lord, just in order to gather the power in the hands of the second brother, so let Sister Su as the queen?”
“Thinking about what?” Marquis Qingyun glanced at him, “According to this, since the Emperor needs to enlist my Zhao family to consolidate the royal power, wouldn’t my Zhao family have the strength to bargain with the royal family? If that’s the case, then if we don’t want Sister Su to suffer, how can the palace still let her suffer? What, do you think we have the power to blackmail the palace? Or do you think that the Emperor and Empress Dowager are people who can be pinched and flattened?”
Zhao Ying was numb.
Marquis Qingyun grunted, “No one said this kind of thing before, no one said it at the time of the wedding, and then suddenly someone said it again when the Yanping county princess came back, don’t you think it’s strange? The dynasty just out of some inexplicable things, at this time to prevent someone to push the waves, you do not know? — Give me a clearer head, don’t say anything that goes to your heart.”
Zhao Ying was speechless.
After Marquis Qingyun finished lecturing him, he paused and then looked over with his arms folded, “Now that we’re talking about it, send someone out on the streets to ask around, what kind of people are spreading this word? And these days the streets suddenly have a lot more singing and singing of the Princess’s plays, where do they come from, see if you can find the source?”
“I’ll go now!”
Only after watching Zhao Ying busily leave did Marquis Qingyun withdraw his gaze.
Zhao Su greeted Fang Qingxue, and didn’t go to the government office in the next morning, first she took a nap, and when she got up to walk around, she felt that the atmosphere was a bit subtle. She just strolled in the garden for a while, the family’s sister-in-law girls have come to find her, and without exception are talking along with her, as if they are afraid that she is not comfortable.
Of course the queen’s position is now on the board, but married into the palace, then can not freely return to her family is already a pity, the guys still do not want to let her heart more than one chink should ah!
Zhao Su know very well, also do not say anything, only pretend to hear do not understand, asked about the night out of the street attire.
Only after a couple of sentences, Xiao Ju came with joy: “Miss, the emperor sent someone to send a reward! Go and receive the decree!”
