Chapter 39: The queen mother summoned her fiancee

Qin Palace, inside the kindly palace.
This is the palace where the Empress Dowager lives, far away from the court, and also away from the emperor's Sixth Court of the San Gong.
The current queen mother, the birth mother of His Majesty the Emperor.
After the emperor came to power, she lived in the Mercy Palace.
On weekdays, it is difficult for anyone to enter the Mercy Palace without the Queen Mother summoned. Today, the door of the Mercy Palace has been completely opened. It seems that someone has come.
A burst of laughter came from the depths of the Mercy Palace.
There was a kind of majesty that had settled down in the laughter's kindness, but it was much lower-key.
But even so, no one dared to provoke the owner of this voice easily. Even Concubine Jiang, who was favored by the emperor, could only cover her lips and smile at this time, carefully paying attention to the change in the expression of the person on the theme.
In the main hall, apart from Gong E, there were only four people.
One of the old women sits on the main seat, although her facial features are already old, she can't hide her former grace. She has a brocade robe with gold thread embroidered with a phoenix and bird totem, which symbolizes the royal family's female family. The hair bun on her head is not decorated with much, but is embellished with some simple but valuable jade hairpins. On the tiger's mouth in her left hand, there is a Buddhist bead carefully carved from Bodhi Zi.
Behind her, stood an old mother with a slight smile on her face, quietly accompanying her.
At this stop, you can see how much this old mother is in front of the most noble woman in Qin.
Below the queen mother's left hand, there were two women sitting in jeopardy. Judging from their similarity in appearance and age, they are a mother-daughter relationship.
However, compared with the natural coquettishness between her mother's eyebrows, that noble girl is more reserved and lonely.
"Queen dowager, your old man should not make fun of Yao'er. She is still young, and I want to stay with me for a few more years." Jiang Guifei held the silk and hid her lips and chuckled, her expression full of coquetry.
I am afraid that if you act like a baby to the Queen Mother in front of your children, this concubine Jiang, who is known for her charm, can do it.
Regarding her mother's behavior, Qin Yiyao, who was sitting next to Princess Changle, didn't show much expression. The calm between her eyebrows, as if the person in the mouth of the Queen Mother just now was not like her.
The Buddha beads twisted in the Queen Mother's hand turned smoothly, and laughed and cursed at Jiang Guifei's words: "What is young? My Qin woman is 13 years old and Yao'er is 15 years old, but she is a big girl. If not, In order to wait for the boy of the Mu family to be weak, I'm afraid you will hug your grandson."
Concubine Jiang’s mouth froze, she glanced at her daughter secretly, but she saw that she was calm as a beautiful statue. There was no daughter's shy expression after hearing about her marriage, and her eyes darkened.
Fortunately, the queen mother didn't seem to pay attention to this, but said to herself: "Counting the time, the Namu kid, I'm afraid I will be about to bow."
She seemed to be talking to herself as if she was asking someone else.
The grandmother, who is used to knowing the Queen Mother, hurriedly leaned over and whispered: "Yes, Lord Mu will be a weak crown in one year." A weak crown means an adult, so the marriage between Mu Mansion and the royal family back then, It's time to be on the agenda.
The queen mother nodded almost unchecked, with a plan in her heart.
In her opinion, Mu Qingge's bloodline is only the last one left in Mu Qingge, and Mu Qingge is a dude, he inherits the Mu family and is doomed to decline. Nowadays, the royal family marries the noble princess into the Mu family. Not to mention that the blood of the Mu family will be swallowed by the blood of the royal family. The reputation alone is good. Why bother to use means to calculate, provoke a fishy?
After thinking about it, the Queen Mother looked at Qin Yiyao who didn't say a word. That pan-like little face, taking all the advantages of his parents, is beautiful and beautiful as a flower, beautiful as a haze, which can be called stunning in the world. What's more rare is that her inherent noble and arrogant air makes her more eye-catching than ordinary women.
It is not a loss for them to betroth such a person to the dude of the Mu family.
The Queen Mother sighed in her heart and asked with a loving smile to Qin Yiyao: "Our Yao'er is really getting better and better as our Yao'er grows longer. The Mu family's kid is really blessed."
"The emperor's grandmother passed the award." Qin Yiyao still looked faint after being named by the Queen Mother, but replied according to the court ceremony.
The perfunctory and indifference in this tone made Concubine Jiang a little anxious. For fear that her daughter's attitude would make the queen dowager unpleasant, the queen dowager would give her shoes in the palace.
So, she angrily said: "Yao'er, why did you reply to the Queen Mother? Have you forgotten the rules that I taught you?"
"Yao'er dare not forget." Qin Yiyao looked down, and the tone of answer was still neither humble nor overbearing.
"Okay, okay, it's not a big deal. Yao'er's indifferent temperament is not known to the Ai family. It is because the emperor today announced that the Mu family boy will enter the palace." The queen mother waved her hand. .
Concubine Jiang was stunned after hearing this, and secretly said in her heart: The emperor announced that Mu Qingge would enter the palace, why didn't I receive the news?
And Qin Yiyao, who had always been indifferent like an outsider, finally had a subtle reaction at this moment. The long, butterfly-like eyelashes trembled slightly.
Before Concubine Jiang Gui could speak, she heard the Queen Mother say: "The Ai family has sent someone to call the Mu family boy over. I heard that this boy has suffered some time ago. You two, one is the future mother-in-law of the family. One is the future wife, and she should also take care of it today. Especially Yaoer, you and Qingge have grown up together, but after the difference between men and women, they gradually become alienated. Sooner or later, you will marry into Mu’s family. The deeper the relationship between husband and wife, the happier you will be in the future. Today, you will accompany Qingge around the palace, and when he leaves the palace, accompany him out of the palace together, and then you will return to your Changle Princess Mansion. Right."
There is no room for resistance, the queen mother has already stated her decision.
According to the laws of the Qin State, the prince and princess must move out of the palace to build a mansion when they reach adulthood. Today, the only seven princes who can live in the palace are the nine-year-old seven princes.
"Queen dowager, this... Yaoer hasn't gotten through the door after all..." Concubine Jiang was not pleased with her daughter's marriage. In her opinion, she can use Mu Qingge through this marriage, but she can't lose her daughter. Her daughter should have a better place.
For example, marrying with another country, in exchange for the support of her neighbors. Or, use her beauty and talents to help her absorb the world's magi.
In short, how can her daughter take advantage of an unsupportable dude?
However, the Queen Mother ignored her and said, "Well, in this world, who doesn't know who Yao'er's future husband-in-law will be? How many people will not be envious of the feelings of two little wives, and what kind of tongue will they chew?"
After that, she looked directly at Qin Yiyao with wise eyes and asked, "Yao'er, do you know what grandmother said?"
Qin Yiyao pursed her lips, her eyelashes trembled a few times, and then nodded, "Yao'er knows."
"This is a good granddaughter, the princess of Qin." The queen mother nodded in satisfaction.
