Chapter 287: Signing a Hundred-Year Covenant
Lin'an County Lady lifted up her skirt and knelt in front of the Queen Mother: "Grandmother, among all the boys in the capital, Lin'an only likes Zhao Wei. If Lin'an can marry into the Duke of Zhao's Mansion, it will be of great benefit to you."
She grasped the Queen Mother's Achilles' heel, "The Duke of Zhao's Mansion is the Queen's support, and the Queen is on your side. Lin'an is different. Lin'an has always remembered your kindness in his heart. If it weren't for your arrangement, my father might not have a real job when he returned to the capital. I'm afraid he would be an idle marquis. Our family will remember your kindness."
"If Lin'an can get what she wants, she will be the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family and the person next to Zhao Wei. No matter what, the Queen is just Zhao Wei's cousin. Who will he support in his heart?"
The Queen Mother's smile disappeared, her expression became serious, and she judged Lin'an.
Princess Lin'an curled her fingers nervously, not showing any fear at all: "If the queen has a son, maybe the Zhao family will give it a try. Grandmother, you should have confidence in Lin'an."
"Can you catch Zhao Wei?" The queen mother looked at Princess Lin'an with sharp eyes. Whether it was appearance or character, she was not outstanding.
How many noble ladies wanted to marry Zhao Wei's family background? Now he is twenty-six or twenty-seven, and there is no sign of getting married. It can be seen that the requirements are extremely high.
Princess Lin'an smiled shyly and knelt beside the queen mother, "I'm afraid Lin'an can't do it himself, but Lin'an has grandmother." Her eyes like apricots showed admiration: "You will help Lin'an, right?"
The queen mother stared at her for a long time, and suddenly touched her head: "Good child, grandmother will help you."
Princess Lin'an hugged the queen mother in surprise: "Grandmother, you are so good to Lin'an!"
The eyes were full of determination!
As soon as Princess Lin'an left, Nanny An brought a cup of health tea and poured a cup for the queen mother.
"My queen, if you intervene in the affairs of the Zhao family, I am afraid that General Zhao will not dare to disobey, but will not look Lin'an County Master in the eye, and offend the Zhao family."
The queen mother sneered: "I have offended the Zhao family by holding Madam Zhao hostage in order to return to the palace." She said indifferently: "A man can not love a woman, but he will not not love his children. If it were someone else, I am afraid I would not be completely sure, but if it were Zhao Wei, he would be responsible for Lin'an after marrying Lin'an."
Madam An hesitated to speak.
The queen mother took a sip of tea, "In a few days, it will be Madam Zhao's birthday. Then the marriage decree will be sent to be read."
Madam An looked at the queen mother in surprise. Is the queen forcing the Zhao family to recognize this marriage in front of the guests?
She felt uneasy and wanted to persuade her.
At this time, someone outside the door announced: "My queen mother, the queen wants to see you."
"Speak." The queen mother put down the teacup and guessed the purpose of the queen's visit.
Madam An had to step back.
The Queen Mother came in and greeted the Queen Mother, "Mother."
"No one comes to visit you for no reason. What's the matter with you coming to me today?" The Queen Mother was too lazy to flatter the Queen. She glanced at the Queen's haggard face and her face darkened. She didn't understand why the Queen had to go against her when she had no one to rely on!
The Queen calmed down and explained her purpose: "Mother, Xiliang sent an envoy to deliver a generous gift and a letter of credence. Su Wan, the daughter of Dingyuan Marquis, has made great contributions to saving the Queen and is a distinguished guest of Xiliang. The Queen listened to Su Wan's opinion and was willing to sell their war horses to Da Zhou every year, open up trade between the two countries, and conclude a century-long friendly alliance."
