Qi Ho Extra (18)
After Yunsheng knew that he was going to choose a princess for him, he went to find Qihao and said that he liked Tan Rumeng and wanted to marry Tan Rumeng as his wife.
Qihao categorically refused, the Tan family has already had a queen, and there must be no more queen. There have been endless incidents of foreign relatives intervening in politics in the past dynasties, and he would never allow such things to happen to his son.
Brother Sheng looked at Qihao and said, "Father, my son will not let anyone get involved in the imperial power."
Qihao looked at Brother Sheng, shook his head and said, "This matter is not discussed, I will send out the imperial edict of the draft tomorrow." Brother Sheng has a generous temperament, and the temperament of a successful monarch is a good thing. But on the other hand, it is also easy for people you trust around you to take advantage of this. If it was only Tan Aoshuang alone, he would not be worried, but if Tan Rumeng who was blowing the pillow was added, then it might not be so.
In desperation, Brother Sheng turned to Yunqing and Yuxi for help. Yun Sheng pleaded, "Grandfather, grandmother, I really like Rumeng, and I just want to marry her."
Tan Rumeng is sixteen years old, one year younger than Brother Sheng. Because she often enters the palace and sees Brother Sheng often, they are childhood sweethearts.
There is an old saying that the youngest son and grandson are the lifeblood of the elderly. Among the more than twenty grandchildren, Yunqing loves Brother Sheng the most. As for Brother Sheng, it was the first time he asked them to ask for help when he was so old.
Yun Qing looked at Yu Xi and said, "My wife, let's talk to Ah Hao about this!" Youdao said that a daughter is easy but a lover is hard to find, and he wanted to fulfill Brother Sheng.
Brother Sheng looked at Yu Xi with hope.
Yu Xi frowned, she knew the reason why Qi Hao didn't want his elder brother to marry Tan Rumeng without asking her.
As an emperor, all aspects must be considered. Tan Chonghua is now the governor of Shanxi, and his two sons are very capable. In the case that Tan Aoshuang is already the mother of the country, if the princess is still from the Tan family, unless the father and son are suppressed, otherwise a bad relationship will appear to interfere with politics.
It's just that Yu Xi didn't tell Yun Qing about these words. The older the old man, the less he likes to use his brain. Everything comes from his temper. But this is also good, live a simple and happy life, and it is good for the body.
Yu Xi hummed and said, "Let her come to Baihuayuan tomorrow."
Brother Sheng showed joy.
Yuxi immediately poured cold water on Brother Sheng: "Since your father won't let you marry her, there must be something unsatisfactory. I may not like my grandma after seeing her." Over the years, Yunqing and Yuxi have truly loved each other. reclusive. Except for a group of grandchildren, few of the younger generation have seen them.
No matter what, at least let's meet,
Brother Sheng thinks that as long as Rumeng can get Yuxi's love, there is still hope: "Grandmother, Rumeng is gentle and lovely, she is really a wonderful girl."
"Whether it's good or bad, I'll know when I meet your grandfather." Xi Shi is in the eye of the beholder, and Brother Sheng's judgment may not be accurate.
Brother Sheng went back to the palace with anxiety and told Tan Aoshuang about it, and asked her to tell Tan Rumeng to behave well tomorrow.
Tan Aoshuang was a little worried, and said: "Your father will be unhappy if you know." This can be regarded as going against Qi Hao's meaning.
"Mother, only the emperor's grandfather and the emperor's grandmother can make the father change his mind." He didn't beg Qihao that day because he knew that begging would not make Qihao let go, but would anger Qihao.
Tan Aoshuang said: "Mother, let Shu'an pass on a message now." Everyone in the Tan family actually hoped that Tan Rumeng could become the princess.
On the second morning, when Meilan came out with a 70% brand-new royal blue cotton suit for Yunqing, he said unhappily: "Today there is a charming guest coming, how can I wear this dress?"
Yuxi asked with a smile: "Are you going to see Miss Tan's family?"
"You think it's good, I definitely want to meet." If Yu Xi falls in love with her, then she will be the future granddaughter-in-law, and she definitely wants to see what she looks like.
Yuxi smiled and said: "Qihao is not in a hurry, and I don't know what you are in a hurry. Besides, if I fall in love with you, you will be able to see him often after Brother Sheng gets married."
After decades of husband and wife, Yunqing can say that she knows Yuxi very well: "Did you miss the girl from the Tan family?"
"Qihao didn't like it, he must think that the two are not compatible. If so, what are we messing around with?"
This is also the reason Yun Qing thinks about, but he quickly said: "Then why didn't you tell me yesterday?" It made him plan to meet his grandson-in-law today!
Yu Xi smiled and said: "If this girl is really one in a million, you can also talk to Qi Hao about it. But no matter what the result is, you don't want to see her today."
"What do you say?"
Yuxi didn't hide it from Yunqing, and said with a smile: "Because I don't plan to see her today."
"It's not good for you to let the girl from the Tan family come and deliberately leave her alone."
Yuxi smiled and said: "You know that there is something very important about being a queen, do you know what it is?"
"What?" In Yunqing's impression, whether it is a daughter-in-law or a grand-daughter-in-law, apart from being good-natured, she also knows that Shu Dali is dignified and generous. Everything else seems to be fine.
"You must have a particularly good endurance." The queen is the mother of the motherland, and not everyone can do it.
After many years of husband and wife, there is still some tacit understanding. Yun Qing nodded in agreement and said, "That's for sure. Not to mention the queen, even the emperor must have a strong endurance." Like when he was the emperor, apart from being bored with trivial things, he also faced the endless lectures of civil servants And those censors who are always finding fault, sometimes he wants to cut these people off when he gets angry. But since he is the emperor, he can't let his temper go. Not only can't they be cut down, but they have to be treated preferentially. God knows how hard he endured.
After abdicating, I don't need to be patient anymore, and I can do whatever I want. If the censor finds fault, just spray it back. Therefore, after Yun Qing abdicated, he lived a happy life.
"By enduring what ordinary people can't bear, you can do what ordinary people can't do." So Yuxi planned to let Tan Rumeng hang out, and first see if the girl's patience is good,
Not only did Yuxi think so, but she also did so. Tan Rumeng waited for two full hours from Chenshi 2:00 to Baihuayuan until 2:00 noon. I don't know how many times the tea was changed, and she even went to clean the room once in the middle.
Meilan arrived at the main hall, saw Tan Rumeng and said, "Miss Tan, the Empress Dowager is not feeling well, please go back first and come back tomorrow."
After waiting for two hours, just waiting for such a sentence, the smile on Tan Rumeng's face could hardly be maintained.
At any rate, she knew that this was Baihuayuan, not a place where she could lose her temper. So Tan Rumeng quickly calmed down, and asked with concern: "Aunt Meilan, is the Queen Mother okay?"
Mei Lan said with a smile on her face, "Miss Tan, don't worry, just get some sleep and you'll be fine."
When Tan Rumeng left Baihuayuan, he was hit by a little maid at the corner and took a few steps back. If it wasn't for the maid beside her who helped her in time, she might have fallen down.
After waiting for a long time without seeing anyone, Tan Rumeng was already full of anger. It's just that no matter how courageous she is, she dare not show it. But now she was almost knocked down by a court lady, she couldn't bear it anymore, and cursed angrily: "You dog slave, you dare to bump into me. Pinghua, give me a slap."
Pinghua's complexion changed slightly, and she took Tan Rumeng's hand and whispered, "Girl, this is Baihuayuan." At home, punishing the little maid who made mistakes is not a big deal. But Baihua Garden is where the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager live, so they can't mess around.
The little maid was frightened just now, she knelt on the ground and begged for mercy when she heard Pinghua's words: "Miss, please forgive me, this slave did not do it on purpose. Miss, please spare my life."
After listening to Pinghua's words, Tan Rumeng realized that he had made a big mistake, and quickly made amends: "Forget it, you didn't do it on purpose, so I won't pursue it. Walk more steadily in the future, and don't blah blah. I'm fine, if you bump into the emperor and queen mother, ten lives are not enough for you."
The little maid was overjoyed and kowtowed to Tan Rumeng to thank her: "Thank you, miss, thank you, miss."
After leaving Baihuayuan, he got into his own carriage. After walking for a while, the servant girl Ping Hua whispered: "Girl, the Empress Dowager is notorious for her strict rules. The maid just now was a bit strange." The Emperor and the Empress Dowager are old and cannot withstand any accidents. Therefore, she didn't think Baihuayuan would have such a reckless servant.
"What do you mean, the queen mother deliberately arranged this little maid?" She was asked to wait for two hours in Baihuayuan, but she didn't show her face, and now she arranged for it again.
Thinking of this, Tan Rumeng's complexion changed: "Could it be that the Queen Mother is testing me?"
Pinghua also thought the same way, but she didn't say it: "How can the slaves guess what the Empress Dowager is thinking."
Tan Rumeng immediately said to the driver: "If you don't go home, go directly to the palace."
Brother Sheng is the crown prince, and Tan Rumeng will be the future mother of the crown prince if he marries him; and Tan Aoshuang himself wants to get closer. In addition, Brother Sheng also likes her, so Tan Rumeng thinks that the matter between her and Brother Sheng is a certainty. But now that the queen mother has inserted a pole, she is worried about accidents.
After entering the palace, Tan Rumeng told her what happened just now: "Auntie, will the queen mother dislike me?"
After being mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for more than ten years, Tan Aoshuang also knows Yuxi a little bit. She ignores daily trifles, but she still asks about important matters. Brother Sheng is the crown prince, Yuxi will definitely pay attention to his marriage. So when she heard that Yuxi was willing to see Tan Rumeng, she hoped that Tan Rumeng could leave a good impression on Yuxi. In this way, there is still a glimmer of hope. Now it seems that this way is not going to work.
Tan Rumeng became anxious: "Aunt, if the queen mother doesn't like me, will I not be able to marry the prince's brother?"
Tan Aoshuang hesitated for a while: "The emperor has issued an imperial decree to choose a concubine for Sheng'er."
Tan Rumeng's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe what she heard: "Auntie, don't the emperor, the emperor know about me and the prince's brother?"
After thinking about it for a while, Tan Aoshuang still told the truth: "The emperor does not want the Tan family to have two empresses. Brother Sheng begged the queen mother, hoping that the queen mother can persuade the emperor." She just let Shu'an spread the word yesterday, saying that Yuxi wanted to see Tan Rumeng, Nothing else was said. I'm afraid that if I talk too much, it will cause serious psychological burden to Tan Rumeng.
Tan Rumeng was instantly stunned.
