There is Room For the Poor Daughter

The scandal between Jiang Wanying and the eldest prince of Western Liao Dynasty can be regarded as adding a widely discussed topic to the Queen Mother's birthday.

Even if everyone is afraid of the power of the Queen Mother and the Jiang family, they can't help but disagree in private.

With such a blemish, the situation that Jiang's family had women seeking a hundred families was completely a thing of the past.

Cining Palace.

The queen mother looked indifferently at Jiang Wanying who was kneeling on the ground and sobbing: "Go back and prepare, prepare to kiss Xi Liao."

"No, I don't want it." Jiang Wanying looked at the queen mother in horror.

Mrs. Jiang hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The Queen Mother, Xiliao is remote and barren, and Wanying has been weak since she was a child. How can she bear it? I ask the Queen Mother to take her life back."

The queen mother no longer wanted to talk to Mrs. Jiang's mother and daughter at the moment, she waved her hand and motioned Mrs. Jiang to take the person down.

After the people left, the queen mother smashed a cup with a gloomy face.

Chengen Gong: "The Queen Mother, things are already like this. Wanying Wanying is the blood of the Jiang family. I also ask the Queen Mother to take pity on her and strive for some benefits for her, so that she will not be too sad after marrying Xiliao."

The queen mother calmed down her anger before speaking: "Xiliao came here this time to ask to marry the princess. What Aijia can do is to win the status of a princess for Wanying."

Having said that, he looked at Duke Chengen and Jiang Shizi.

"Okay, you all go back, look after the mother and daughter, don't let them do anything stupid."

Jiang Wanying can be stupid enough to send her to the door, and the person who Jiang Tang can do a real scandal in front of everyone is her daughter, and she no longer wants to mention this mother and daughter.

Just when everyone thought that Jiang Wanying would be with Xi Liao, there was no response from the emperor's side.

The eldest prince of Xiliao was very obedient, knowing that he could not marry the real princess, and Yelu Qianhua lost to the county magistrate of Shengping in the ring, so he could not marry Xiao Yeyang, a son of a prince, who he didn't want. , the princes will naturally not marry.

In this way, he could only settle for the next best thing and take the initiative to fulfill his marriage with Jiang Wanying.

The Jiang family is the first family in Daxia, and the daughter of the Jiang family is inferior to the princess in terms of identity, and the other aspects are not much different.

He asked for a marriage on the grounds of establishing friendship between the two countries. He thought that the empress dowager and queen who came to the palace would seek the status of a princess for Jiang Wanying, who had flirted with him that night.

However, reality hit him hard.

The eldest prince of Xiliao asked to see the emperor several times, but he was unceremoniously turned away.

As a result, everyone has more and more discussions about Jiang Wanying and the First Prince of Xiliao.

The Yan family is also paying close attention to this matter. The Jiang family is so daring to frame Daohua in the palace. The Yan family naturally hopes that the Jiang family will be unlucky.

"Girl, Prince Ping's mansion has sent a few pots of top-quality peony and peonies. It is said that the girl can use it to relieve boredom and enjoy it in her spare time." Bi Shi led a few maids to the front of the rice flowers, and each maid held a pot of blooming flowers in her hands. flowers.

Daohua motioned the maid to put the peony on the stone table, lowered her head and sniffed the fragrance of the flowers, and then asked with a smile, "Wynn sent it this time?"

Bi Shi nodded: "Wynn said that he almost killed the girl that night. Both the prince and him feel very guilty. Wynn also said that the prince has spoken. As long as you like it, you can move the flowers of Prince Ping's mansion as you like."

Daohua smiled: "go and tell Wynn, since the prince is so generous, it's really hard for me to be a junior. I just want to build a flower house in Pingxitang, so I use the flowers planted by the prince to decorate it."

After hearing this, Bi Shi immediately laughed: "Wynn's face will be very exciting when he hears it." Then, he briskly ran to spread the word.

Prince Ping's Mansion.

Princess Ma and Xiao Yechen watched the craftsmen from the east courtyard come to Baiyuan Garden from time to time to transplant flowers, and their expressions changed a little.

No one knows better than them how much Prince Ping loves these flowers and plants. Usually, they will be reprimanded if they break a plant. Now, Prince Ping is willing to take these beloved flowers and plants to decorate the buildings that are still under construction. hospital.

Since all the land to the east of the palace was assigned to Xiao Yeyang to build a new house, the people in the palace simply called it the East Courtyard.

"Chen'er, you should try to find a way, now that the Yan family girl hasn't entered the door yet, your father is like this, then you have to wait for her to enter the door, doesn't your father's heart want to return to Xiao Yeyang again? Go? If that's the case, there will be no place for our mother and son in this palace."

Princess Ma said anxiously.

Xiao Yechen's face was calm, and he reassured Princess Ma: "Mother, don't be impatient, the Queen Mother and the Jiang family have suffered such a big loss this time, and they will not let Shengping County Master go."

Princess Ma looked regretful: "Why wasn't she Yan Yiyi who was in Chonghua Hall that night?"

"Mother concubine!"

Xiao Yechen quickly stopped Princess Ma: "Mother, even if you don't like Xiao Yeyang and Yan's daughter in your heart, don't say such things that your father and king don't like to hear in the future."

Princess Ma squinted at Xiao Yechen: "Do you still know if the mother-in-law knows, don't worry, the mother-in-law knows better than you how to get along with the father and king."

Princess Ma, mother and son were discussing, and the servants in the palace were also surging.

"The lord is usually reluctant to give a flower, but now he uses it to decorate the East Courtyard, which shows how much the lord attaches great importance to the little prince."

"Hey, I'm afraid the days when the princess and the eldest son are alone are coming to an end."

"Originally, the little prince is the first wife and direct son. Even if the princess is straightened, it will be the successor."

Princess Ma, mother and son did not know that they had been befriending the servants of the palace for more than ten years, and because of the transplanting of flowers in the Baiyuan Garden, they unknowingly turned to the East Courtyard.

Cining Palace, the Queen Mother planned to take a while to increase Jiang Wanying's worth. After all, it is not easy for Daxia to fight with Xiliao now, and the emperor also hopes to make good friends with Xiliao.

The easiest and most convenient way for the two countries to make good relations is to marry.

The emperor was reluctant to marry his daughter, so Wanying just took her place.

In this case, the emperor should beg the Jiang family for this matter.

However, several days have passed since the birthday, but there was no response from the emperor, which made the queen mother feel a little uncertain.

The emperor took the initiative to speak, then, the daughter of the Jiang family was married to Xiliao for Daxia, which was due to Daxia.

But if she speaks first, the meaning will change immediately.

After waiting for another two days, seeing that the Xiliao embassy was already discussing the matter of returning to China, the Queen Mother couldn't sit still anymore.

The affair between Wanying and the eldest prince of Xiliao has been seen by everyone. Only if she marries to Xiliao will be the best thing for the Jiang family.

Qianqing Palace.

The emperor was discussing business affairs with Yang Chenghua and others, but Eunuch An hurriedly walked in, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here."

Hearing this, Yang Chenghua and other officials couldn't help but glance at the emperor, and then silently stood there without speaking.

The emperor glanced at Eunuch An and continued to discuss the matter just now casually.

Several officials did not dare to let the queen mother wait for a long time, but the emperor wanted to pull them to discuss things, and they could only deal with it bravely.

It was not until the matter was discussed that the emperor waved his hand and signaled everyone to leave.

Yang Chenghua and the others breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and quickly exited the main hall. Before going out, they glanced at the queen mother who was sitting in the side hall drinking tea and waiting.

Seeing this, several people looked at each other silently, and then quickly left.

The emperor deliberately hangs the queen mother, which has never happened before.

It can be seen that the Jiang family girl and the eldest prince of Xiliao sat down in the harem, which really made the emperor angry.

"I'm busy with official business, so the queen mother has been waiting for a long time."

The emperor walked into the side hall with a smile, and calmly sat opposite the queen mother.

The queen mother glanced at the emperor, suppressed the anger in her heart, put down the teacup in her hand, and looked at the emperor with a smile: "The emperor is in charge of all kinds of things, and it's okay for Aijia to wait. By the way, Aijia came over, didn't you disturb the emperor? "

The emperor smiled and said: "What did the queen mother say, if you want to find me, I have to put it down and see you even if I have a hundred thousand urgent matters?"

The queen mother tried her best to restrain herself, but her face did not show any displeasure in her heart.

The emperor picked up the tea: "How does the queen mother feel about this tea?"

The empress dowager smiled reluctantly: "What the emperor uses is naturally the best."

The emperor smiled and talked to the empress dowager about daily routines, but he did not take the initiative to ask the empress dowager what she was doing here. Seeing the empress dowager enduring with all her might, she felt relieved and happy.

Back then, when he first took the throne, he had to ask the Queen Mother and Duke Cheng Eng for advice on everything in the military and politics. Now that he has returned, it is only a drop in the bucket.

The queen mother knew that the emperor was waiting for her to take the initiative to speak. Thinking of the Jiang family, thinking of Jiang Wanying, she took a deep breath, and chose to compromise: "What is the emperor going to do about Wanying and the first prince of Xi Liao?"

The emperor looked surprised: "Jiang Wanying is the daughter of the Jiang family. The queen mother wants to ask about her and the first prince of Western Liaoning. She should ask the Jiang family. Why did you ask me?"

Hearing this, the Queen Mother couldn't maintain the calmness on her face, and asked in a questioning tone: "What does the emperor mean? You don't intend to take care of Wanying and the first prince of Xiliao?"

The smile on the emperor's face softened a little: "The queen mother, what you are asking is really unreasonable, Jiang Wanying and the first prince of Xi Liao have done scandalous things in the palace, I have not ordered a punishment, it is enough to give you and the queen face. "

Said, looking at the queen mother squarely.

"The queen mother came to question me, obviously she didn't think Jiang Wanying did anything wrong. Could it be that the queen mother felt that the palace was the back garden of the Jiang family, and she could do whatever the Jiang family wanted?"

The queen mother's breath stagnated: "Is the emperor's words too serious?"

The emperor sneered: "Is it serious? I can't see it, otherwise, there would be no such scandal in Chonghua Hall."

The empress dowager looked at the emperor with a frown, and she was silent for a while, and said, "Xiliao is here to establish friendship between the two countries. I think the emperor is not willing to marry Lekang to Xiliao, so let Wanying go up. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

The emperor smiled and shook his head: "The friendship between the two countries does not require a relationship. I never planned to marry the princess."

"emperor!"

The queen mother raised her voice abruptly: "Wanying's marriage to Xiliao is a good thing for Daxia. I also ask the emperor to make her a princess for the sake of her contribution to Daxia."

The smile on the emperor's face disappeared completely: "Queen Mother, I don't want to say something too straightforward, but why do you force me to say it? I can tell you now that I will not make the Jiang family a princess. "

"Jiang Wanying married to Xiliao because she did something scandalous by herself. To Da Xia, there is no credit at all. On the contrary, I feel that she has lost the face of Da Xia people."

The Empress Dowager stood up with a 'bass': "Your Majesty, do you have to be so ruthless?"

The emperor's expression was indifferent: "Queen Mother, do you still remember your identity? You are the Queen Mother of Daxia, but you let the First Prince of Xiliao do things in the harem. It was you who lost your identity first."

Saying that, the emperor also stood up and looked out the window with his hands on his back.

"What happened that night, I have completely investigated it. Empress Dowager, for your own selfishness, have you and the Jiang family ever thought about the face of the Daxia royal family?"

The queen mother was stunned for a while, and then sneered again: "The emperor really is." Halfway through the sentence, she tossed her sleeves and left in an unbearable atmosphere.

Looking at the back of the Queen Mother leaving, the emperor's mouth tickled.

Not bad, this time I removed some eyeliners that the Jiang family had placed in the palace.

Everyone waited until the Xiliao embassy left the capital, and they failed to wait until the emperor issued an decree to confer Jiang Wanying as a princess and a pro-Xiliao decree. Only the queen mother issued a decree to give Jiang Wanying to the first prince of Xiliao.

In this way, when the First Prince of Xiliao entered Beijing this time, he took away a county owner of Daxia.

Although Jiang Wanying had a generous dowry, there was no smile on the face of the eldest prince of Xiliao. He could already imagine how the other brothers would ridicule him when they knew that he had only married back to the county head after returning to Xiliao.

In particular, the hundreds of good horses brought this time were silently stolen without even a single splash, and they didn't get any benefit in exchange.

This time as an ambassador to Da Xia, it can be said that there is no gain.

At the same time, through the fact that the emperor did not confer the canonization of Jiang Wanying, some wily officials have clearly seen some signals that the emperor's unwillingness to endure the Jiang family has been revealed.
