"Give marriage?" At this moment, Empress Dowager Yide screamed in surprise. She looked up and said with a high voice, "Do you have a sweetheart? Which lady is the one from the house?"

Aunt Yang patted Queen Mother Yide's hand quietly. Queen Mother Yide paused and sat back on the soft couch. The long ruby ​​armor slashed uneasyly on the edge of the soft couch, but her eyes looked at Xiao Shao very soft. She said, "Which family do you want to ask the Ai family to point to you?"

Xiao Shao lowered his eyes, moved his body slightly, and slowly knelt down on one knee. This was the courtesy of the minister to the emperor. His voice was as calm as a clear spring, but he had a hint of gentleness that he had not realized: "Princess Hong'an, the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, and Ruan Niang of the Jiang family."

"My Lady Ruan?" It was very surprising if Xiao Shao took the initiative to ask Empress Dowager Yide to marry. When she heard Xiao Shao's request to marry, Empress Dowager Yide was stunned. She was stunned. She was stunned. I don't know how long it took, but when she saw Xiao Shao still kneeling, she hurriedly said, "Stand up quickly. Ruan Yat, how do you want to marry Ruan Yat?"

Xiao Shao stood up and did not hide it. He said in a plain way: "Princess Hong'an once had a life-saving grace with Weichen. Today, the border is in urgent need. Deputy General Jiang is missing. Princess Hong'an has an awkward position. There are many buttons in the palace and get engaged to Weichen. Prince Jinying's mansion can always protect her."

His answer was open and it was hard to doubt his words. In addition, Xiao Shao did not lie on weekdays, Empress Dowager Yide believed him. Although she didn't know what Xiao Shao's "life-saving grace" was going on, after hearing Xiao Shao's words, she still felt a little ridiculous and shouted softly: "Absurd, marriage is not a joke? Repaying kindness is not such a way to repay kindness. Since you value love and friendship, she Hong'an is also the granddaughter of the Ai family. How can you not protect her in the palace?"

"The harem cannot interfere in politics." Xiao Shao said lightly: "If the dynasty had done something in the past, the empress dowager would have no choice. Your Majesty had already suppressed Princess Hong'an." After a pause, Xiao Shao said: "I am happy with the daughter of the Jiang family."

After saying this, even after struggling in the palace for so many years, Aunt Yang, who was not happy and angry, couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise. Empress Dowager Yide was also shocked by Xiao Shao's words, especially in the last sentence, she said: "Do you like Ruan Yatou?"

Xiao Shao lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes covered his emotions in his eyes. Although he was silent, there was a hint of unnatural blush on his handsome face.

At this time, silence is better than sound. Seeing this, Empress Dowager Yide still has nothing to understand. Xiao Shao's reputation for being cold and deserted in the court has long been well known. He never thought that he would be honest in front of Empress Dowager Yide today. When Xiao Shao saw such a wonderful expression on his face, he felt sad again.

While her mood was complicated, she couldn't help but think about Xiao Shao's words. In fact, Xiao Shao was right. The power in the harem was complicated, and it was so difficult to save someone. In addition, Jiang Ruan's affairs also involved the frontiers, Jiang Xinzhi was just such a sister. When there was turmoil in the border, others would only make trouble for Jiang Ruan. She had seen a lot of these things at the beginning. Empress Dowager Yide was famous, but as the empress dowager, she had long been only concerned about political affairs. The emperor had his own plans. Even if she was her biological mother and son in a high position, she was not the young new emperor at the time.

Even if the emperor really wants to attack Jiang Ruan, even she can't stop him. Although Xiao Shao's method is reckless, it is very effective. If Xiao Shao gets engaged with Jiang Ruan, Jiang Ruan is from the Jinying Palace. Even if something happens to Jiang Xinzhi in the future, Jiang Ruan is no longer a member of the Jiang family, but a member of the Xiao family. If a married woman is not involved, she can protect her.

In fact, Empress Dowager Yide was not a pedantic person. As early as the three years he spent with Jiang Ruan, he clearly realized the difference between Jiang Ruan and Princess Yuanrong. However, Jiang Ruan's temperament and behavior were very much in her appetite. If it were thirty years earlier, Empress Dowager Yide would even want Jiang Ruan to enter the palace to be a concubine.

Queen Mother Yide really liked Jiang Ruan, and... this was Xiao Shao's sweetheart. Although she was hesitant in her heart, Xiao Shao was so deserted and Jiang Ruan was not very enthusiastic, how could these two be together? After saying that just now, she felt relieved. She originally thought that Xiao Shao was just to repay kindness, but how could the affection in the eyes of the young man be hidden? Just at a glance, Queen Mother Yide decided that Xiao Shao had probably been in love with Jiang Ruan.

It was impossible for her to refuse Xiao Shao's request, no matter what it was.

Queen Mother Yide smiled and said, "You child, the Ai family saw you growing up, and it was time to start a family and start a career in a blink of an eye."

Aunt Yang breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear Empress Dowager Yide continue: "I'm giving a marriage, the Ai family has recorded this matter. Hong'an's child has been with Ai's family for several years. Ai's family can see clearly and is a good person. However, Ai's family also has to ask about Hong'an's meaning. If Hong'an has no objection, the Ai family will not be the one who breaks up the couple. The Ai family has always had the beauty of adulthood."

Xiao Shao leaned over and bowed: "Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Yide smiled and said a few more words. After taking Xiao Shao away, Empress Dowager Yide leaned on the soft couch, and she felt a little lost in her mind. The whole body seemed to be pulled away instantly. Aunt Yang hurriedly brought a cup of hot tea and handed it to the empress dowager.

Empress Dowager Yide took it unconsciously, rubbed the lid of the cup gently, and murmured: "He has come to Cining Palace... I didn't expect that I would see him enter Cining Palace in this life..."

"Empress," said the aunt Yang, "Prince Xiao is just a little cold-hearted, and his heart is as good as Mingjing'er. But Empress, do you really want to marry Prince Xiao and Princess?"

"What if I don't give a marriage?" Empress Dowager Yide looked a little tired and sighed: "This is what the Ai family owes him, and the emperor owes him too. He wants that position, and no one says he is not. Besides, it's just a gift for a marriage."

Aunt Yang pondered and said, "Sister sees Prince Xiao's feelings for the princess just now, and it doesn't look fake."

"He really likes Hong'an." Empress Dowager Yide sighed deeply: "This is what the Ai family is worried about. Hong'an's temperament may be colder than him. She looks gentle on weekdays, but in fact she doesn't care about anything. If A Shao can't impress Hong'an, it will be in vain if the Ai family gives them the marriage."

Empress Dowager Yide frowned: "Besides, the emperor has already chosen him. The daughter of the Yao family, the governor of the Binhai, is both literary and military, and is not very bad at all. She is born. The Ai family knows what the emperor is thinking. I am afraid that the Ai family will get married and the other side of the emperor will be in trouble for Hong'an." She paused: "The Jiang family is also a big trouble. The Ai family always feels that if A Shao marrys Hong'an, there will be more difficulties in the future."
