Chapter 70 I'm willing to give it a try

I still remember that after sending Xiao Peiying away, I leaked the fluid and went to Sister Lingxi's place. As soon as I entered the door, I said, "Sister, I'm willing to give it a try."

It scared Sister Lingxi, but she quickly realized what I meant. She hurriedly drank the palace servant and complained to me: "You are too reckless."

I bowed my head and said nothing. If I hadn't taken advantage of this campaign, I would have been afraid that I would retreat.

Fortunately, Sister Lingxi did not blame me too much, but thought about it: "It's good if you want it, and ask Ping'er to do the rest."

I was a little surprised and said, "Although the man has always said he is a relative, the royal rules are different. Whoever the emperor surrenders, isn't it all the father and mother who picks on others."

Lingxi smiled and said, "I haven't entered the door yet, but I've turned my elbows out first."

Under the years of "care" of Mother De and Mother Zhen, I was confident that I was very shameless and would calmly treat it whenever I heard jokes. But this time, I felt embarrassed and gave Sister Lingxi a glance and stopped talking.

Fortunately, Lingxi is waiting to marry into the boudoir, and this is enough joke. She said to me: "Zi Pei, you and I have grown up together since childhood. My sister knows that Concubine Jiang is not as good as the Queen of Mothers. It is actually very hard for you to get stuck between me and Xue Po. But now everyone is old, so you really don't have to underestimate yourself. You think that Queen of Mothers loves her only nephew and is determined to marry a noble family for Zhiping, right?"

Under the years of "care" of Mother De and Mother Zhen, I was confident that I was very shameless and would calmly treat it whenever I heard jokes. But this time, I felt embarrassed and gave Sister Lingxi a glance and stopped talking.

My sister knows that Concubine Jiang is not as good as the Queen of Mothers. It is actually very hard for you to get stuck between me and Xue Po. But now everyone is old, so you really don't have to underestimate yourself. You think that Queen of Mothers loves her only nephew and is determined to marry a noble family for Zhiping, right?"

Under her gentle comfort, I became bolder and said, "I don't have any disrespect to the Empress Dowager, but isn't that true?"

"It's not true," Lingxi is rare to talk about it. "Although my grandfather was elected as a court official in the imperial examination, it is undeniable that the Zhen family became prosperous because of his mother and queen. There is a proverb among the people: "Three Queen's Queen's Woman, Grand Lang Shang Wengzhu". Any aspiring man is willing to be a crony minister for the rest of his life, so whether it is an uncle or Zhiping, he has ambition to show his ambitions. If this is the case, the daughter-in-law who is looking for can't be too high a family, but it must be affordable and helpful. I must also be smart and capable. I think so, right?"

"But, the Zhen family is too noble now, and it is too noble, so naturally they can no longer seek power. My uncle didn't understand this principle back then, so he fell into a big frustration. Now Zhiping has been practicing outside for several years, and he has been able to get an "excellent" assessment, and he still has to take a leave and go back to spend his idleness. They all understand that at least in the emperor's generation, the Zhen family must stay away from high positions and real power in order to maintain peace. You are not unaware that when the emperor chose a concubine, there were so many rumors that the mother wanted to imitate the Empress Dowager Zhaocheng and make Su Ling the queen, which shows that people's words are terrifying."

Lingxi said calmly, but it made me a little doubtful. It was not that I despise my fifth sister, but she was quiet and trapped by love. When it comes to the court, she never paid attention to it. But today's words analyzed the situation of her foreign family in a reasonable way, and the change was too great? But what I care more about now is not the case. However, after a thought turned, she became worried again and said, "If this is the case, I am afraid that I will be even more inappropriate to him."

Lingxi became softer and said, "No, if Zhiping marrys you, he will be the prince-consort. Although the prince-consort can discuss politics, it is difficult to hold important positions. This is an unwritten rule. In this way, the Zhen clan can leave the center of power smoothly. Wouldn't it be better?" She paused and said, "What's more, the relationship between the two is more important than anything else. Since it is not in conflict with the general trend, Zhiping will not consider too much."

I was also a little moved after hearing this, but I didn't know how to speak. After a while, I remembered to ask: "Then is nothing I can do now?"

Lingxi smiled and said, "Why aren't there? After you go back, go to find Mother De's mother first, and then say so."

The terrain of the flowerbed is low and the flowers and trees are lush. After staying for a while, I felt very stuffy and hot. The thin sweat wet the gauze clothes, and I felt more and more irritable. Yun Zhan hurriedly said, "Grandma, I'd better come here, go and rest."

No matter how thick-skinned I was, I was embarrassed to run over to listen to the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager talk about my destination. Just as I was about to refuse, I heard Mother De shouting: "Huaishu, come here quickly, Empress Dowager has something to ask you."

What should come is always coming. I adjusted my breathing, lowered my gaze, walked to the queen mother according to the rules, and heard her speak, "Huaishu, this child, is shy, so I'm almost raising my head to see it for my mother."

I did as she said, and saw the Queen Mother looking at me with a smile, and said, "Sister De, I just love to take care of my children. But you will be 17 years old in winter, and it is time to settle the big things. But don't be shy. Marriage is a lifelong thing, and it is bound to require a harmonious couple. You can tell your mother first, and what kind of child can be seen."

My answer was very standardized and said, "Marriage matters, children only rely on their mother to make the decision."

Mother De said angrily: "Empress Dowager, please take a look. This child is still shy. You can say whatever you think to your parents. Otherwise, the old woman's preference is not in line with the little girl's wishes, and it will be too late to cry."

Mother De has such a skill. She aroused the rigid conversation atmosphere in just a few words. I basically didn't have to speak. She could lead the empress dowager to recall the interesting things that Empress Dowager Zhaocheng played as a matchmaker for the current Princess Pingyang. The empress dowager's tone was a little cheerful and said, "How is this? Huaishu and the hairpin ceremony have never been done. It's also a dereliction of duty for the Ai family. The weather is not very hot now, and there is no major inside or outside. Why not just hold a hairpin ceremony for my daughter. Then the women who are outside will gather together and listen to what talents are in the capital, who can match the imperial daughter."

This can be regarded as an unexpected surprise, Mother De and I thanked each other.

In theory, the wedding ceremony should be held on the third daughter's Day on March 3, or around my birthday. However, both of these items are inappropriate during the mother's filial piety period. If you delay this for another year, it will be even less worth it. Fortunately, the empress dowager mentioned this matter and said in person that she would be in the summer of Jiaqu, which is even more reasonable.

There were a lot of things to prepare for when she was pregnant, but the mother was thinking about this matter during her lifetime, so she naturally prepared a lot of them. All of them were kept by Aunt Rujuan. When she heard that I was going to hold a gift, she quickly asked me to go and see it together. It was okay for hairpins and hairpins, but the auspicious clothes were a bit outdated.

Rujuan was so anxious that she asked, "It's all my servants who deserve to die, and she was entrusted by the concubine. But how should I describe it now?"
