The Queen Mother hurriedly suppressed the grievances in her heart, and even showed a kind smile on her face, and advised: "The Queen Mother, don't be sad, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, His Highness King Chen's health will gradually get better, you see Over the years, isn’t His Highness Chen’s health gradually getting better?”
"This child's body..." The Queen Mother couldn't go on at this point. She really felt sorry for her grandson. Thinking about when she went to see the child last night and saw his lifeless look, she felt It was very uncomfortable, and my whole heart ached.
Later, when he said something about Shao Wanru, the child became slightly more interested, and occasionally he would support him. Although his voice was very weak, he could tell that he was in a much better mood.
This is why the Queen Mother was furious when she heard early this morning that Duke Xingguo wanted to treat Shao Wanru badly.
If the fifth young lady of the Shao Mansion can make Chen'er more interested and stop looking so lifeless in the future, she will definitely protect this girl and never let anyone bully her.
"Mrs. Taifu, don't be sad. This matter has to be done slowly. King Chen's temper will gradually improve. Just make him obedient for the time being."
Princess Ruian sighed and said, the Queen Mother had just mentioned to her the conversation between her grandfather and grandson last night.
"What the eldest princess said is very reasonable. You should not be anxious at this time. His Royal Highness, King Chen, needs to take good care of his body and his mind. If anything happens, just rely on him first."
The madam agreed with the eldest princess's words without any grudges, and her expression made people think she was a kind old lady. "We grandmothers are old and have nothing to look forward to. We just look forward to them, the younger generation." Get well, otherwise what else can you do!”
These words reached the Queen Mother's heart, and she nodded repeatedly.
The Queen's eyes swept over Mrs. Xingguo calmly, her brows moved slightly, but when she saw the eldest princess turning her eyes, she immediately greeted her with a smile.
"What you are saying is the same, then just follow him first!" The Queen Mother sighed and made a decision in her heart. Yesterday, he also said that several of his brothers would be engaged soon, and now he His situation could only be like this, this lonely look, which made the Queen Mother agree to him at the bedside.
His brothers will not be in a hurry to get married. They are all still young. The royal family has always chosen carefully. How can they get married at such a young age? If they are not right, the disaster will not be as great as usual.
After coming back, she felt a little regretful. She had indeed prepared to choose concubines for the brothers, and the news had spread out early, but she felt distressed and said this.
Now the words of Mrs. Tai and the eldest princess have solved her doubts. Chen'er's body is like this, and sometimes he looks hopeless. She can no longer stimulate him.
After thinking about this clearly, the Empress Dowager opened her brows a little, and said some conciliatory words to the eldest princess Ruian and the eldest wife. Although the eldest princess was not very happy, she still listened to her words and agreed that as long as the country is rejuvenated If the government handled the matter fairly, she would forgive them.
The wife promised to go to the eldest princess's house to apologize immediately after returning. It seems that they did not supervise the matter well and did not notice that the maids in the house had bad intentions.
Everyone was in harmony with each other in this way. Afterwards, seeing the tired look on the Queen Mother's face, the eldest princess, Mrs. Xingguo and Mrs. Xingguo all left with great discernment.
The Empress took the opportunity and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the Empress Dowager: "Queen, please stay for a moment. The Ai family has something to tell you."
"Yes, the Queen Mother!" the Queen responded and sat down again.
After the eldest princess and the others left the main hall, the Queen Mother stretched out her fingers and rubbed her eyebrows and said, "I said before that I would get engaged to Yue'er and Zhou'er. Let's put it aside for now. They are not even that old. I can’t make a choice at the moment, so I just choose slowly. It’s just right to wait until they are seventeen or eighteen years old before they officially get engaged!”
"Mother, is this... not too late?" The Queen Mother could hardly believe her ears. She raised her head in horror and said that she had even prepared candidates. Now, listening to the Queen Mother's wishes, she actually wants to After two or three years, the Queen felt that she could not afford to wait.
These are the best two or three years, how can we waste them in vain?
"Why is it too late? Of course you have to take a good look at the marriage of the royal children. Otherwise, if something happens, it won't be a family affair!"
The Queen Mother said displeasedly, her face darkened.
The Queen Mother hurriedly added: "What the Queen Mother said is that it is indeed not suitable for royal children to get married too early, but now it is okay to choose slowly, right?"
Although the smile on her face was peaceful, her heart was burning with anxiety. She had said it was fine before, but she suddenly felt that it was inappropriate.
She was so upset now that she couldn't recall what Xingguo's parents-in-law, the eldest princess Ruian, and the Queen Mother had just said.
"Of course you can look good, but you don't have to make a formal selection, and you can't hold back the good ones and not let them get married. Girls can't afford to wait that long." The Queen Mother said in a low voice, because the Queen Mother's soft face is so beautiful. a bit.
Unless the girl she likes is really young, like Shao Wanru, she won't have a hairpin even after three years. After all, the Queen Mother is becoming more and more satisfied with Shao Wanru.
Otherwise, once three years have passed, it will be in vain for such a long time to be guarded by her grandson, and the Queen Mother will not think it is a big deal. Even if her grandson is satisfied, the Queen Mother is not very satisfied here.
At this time, she was thinking wholeheartedly about Chu Liuchen's body and Chu Liuchen's marriage, and felt that it would be a good idea for those who imitated Chu Liuchen to come here.
It is not too late to marry a woman who will be hair-length in three years. Chu Liuyue, Chu Liuzhou, and Chu Liuchen are all the same age. They are only fifteen years old now. There is really no need to worry. As for the youngest Chu Liu, Xin is even more of a child. A thirteen-year-old child knows how to choose a concubine.
Get up early, get up early!
"What about the ones that I had taken a fancy to before?" The Queen's face turned pale. She took a fancy to a few of them in private and secretly handed them over.
"Forget about the ones you liked before, you will be older in a few years! The ones who are not yet of engagement age are more suitable!" The Queen Mother waved her hand, she would not forget the concubine selection she wanted to do for her grandson. At the banquet, most of the people who came were interested in Chu Liuyue and Chu Liuzhou, which made her very angry.
Her grandson was so good, but he was still looked down upon by others. The Queen Mother even had the idea that since she didn't like her best grandson, she shouldn't even think about marrying into the royal family.
Those who entered the palace at that time were all young ladies from aristocratic families of the right age, not those who were too young. It was better to go to this group of women who disliked their grandchildren.
"But, there are some that are really good..." The Queen Mother was shocked by the Queen Mother's willfulness, and she stammered before she spoke clearly, "There are some that are really good, and I think it is appropriate to give them to King Yue and King Zhou."
"If they are willing to wait, just wait, but you may not be able to choose if you wait!" The Queen Mother waved her hand impatiently, "You go down first, the Ai family needs to rest for a while!"
After saying that, he stood up holding the hand of the palace maid and went to the inner hall to rest.
The Queen Mother was left alone in the main hall, stomping her feet and turning around to leave. She had to go find the Emperor. What the hell was this? Going back on her word was not something the Royal Family did. How could the Queen Mother act so willfully and in vain.
In the Imperial Study Room, upon hearing that the Empress asked for an audience, the Emperor put down the book in his hand and said, "Please come in, the Empress."
The Empress is quite well-behaved and would not come to the Imperial Study Room on her own initiative in the past.
A eunuch went down to invite someone, and soon the queen came in respectfully. She gave a big salute to the emperor before getting up.
"Queen, please sit down first." The emperor said calmly, "Is there something wrong?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I have something important to discuss with Your Majesty." The Queen said anxiously, not in the mood to sit down and chat about household matters at this time.
"What happened?" The emperor frowned.
"King Yue, King Zhou, and King Chen are all fifteen years old. Although King Xin is young, he is still thirteen. This is a good time to choose a concubine. This kind of thing cannot be done quickly. Choose a concubine. There are also rules for a certain period of time, and it takes one or two years no matter how old you are to finish the election, get engaged, and then go to the ceremony after the engagement."
The queen said with a serious face.
"Shouldn't this matter be discussed with the Queen Mother? What's the use of telling me?" The Emperor didn't understand what the Queen meant, his face darkened, and he said displeased.
"Your Majesty, this matter was originally discussed with the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother also agreed and said that the matter should be chosen slowly. I have chosen a few of them before and secretly sent people to check. I am afraid that if they decide early It would not be good if we were engaged, but my mother later said that it was too early and would have to wait a few years."
The queen said aggrievedly.
What this meant was that she had already spread the news, and this would go back on her words and damage the royal dignity, which was really not an appropriate thing to do.
"Mother, do you want to postpone it?" the emperor thought for a moment and asked.
"Yes, just as I said before, I wanted to postpone it. My mother had always wanted to choose early, and I had already chosen before, but I just didn't get it."
In order to increase the intensity of her words, the Queen brought up the previous banquet for selecting the concubine.
It was indeed chosen, and more than once. It was chosen for Chu Liuchen alone before, but the next time it was chosen for all the princes.
Unfortunately something happened to Chu Liuchen at that time, so the concubine selection banquet came to nothing, and in the end no one was selected.
Given the examples and the sudden decision not to make a choice, the Queen believed that the Emperor would consider this matter carefully. The credibility of the Royal Family could not be undermined.
"In that case, let's do it again, and if you don't get selected, wait and choose wives for the princes!" The emperor pondered for a moment, then picked up the folding notes at hand and continued reading. He said very casually.
The Queen was so stuck there that she almost couldn't get off...
