Chapter 1588 Cut Out the Heart

The next day in the palace, Zhulan felt uncomfortable wearing the imperial clothes. The imperial clothes were too solemn, meaning very heavy. For Zhulan who seldom went out and liked to be comfortable, she was very disgusted to enter the palace.

Zhulan brought Su Xuan to the empress' bedroom, the empress recuperated for a few days, this time her complexion improved a bit, and it was rare to see a trace of rosiness on her face.

The queen had already prepared tea, and when the ceremony was over, the queen smiled, "I haven't seen the old lady for a long time, and the old lady's complexion is getting better."

The tone is full of envy, seeing Mrs. Zhou Hou's rich appearance, she has a long life.

Zhulan replied, "My wife is fat and generous. If you eat well and sleep well, your complexion will naturally be better."

The empress sighed in her heart, even though she was recuperating, her heart was not idle. She had to guard against the harem, worry about the prince, and worry about the mother clan. The effect of her recuperation was not very good. "Old lady, try the new tribute tea."

As soon as Zhulan came in, she smelled the fragrance of tea, picked it up and took a sip, "Good tea."

Su Xuan, "..."

What kind of tea is good tea in the mouths of father-in-law and mother-in-law, and they want to laugh admiringly.

The queen curled her lips, "I have prepared some, and the old lady will bring them back to the Hou Mansion later."

Bamboo orchid is not pretentious, it is prepared in advance, and it is specially given to the Hou Mansion after seeing it, "Thank you, ma'am."

The queen looked at Su Xuan, and was stunned for a moment, "The county magistrate is becoming more and more radiant, really like a mother of a teenage child."

Su Xuan never understood why her mother-in-law brought her into the palace alone today, and she replied cautiously, "The emperor's grace is so great that the people are healthy and the ministers' wives live well, so they look younger."

The queen felt comfortable hearing that, regret flashed in her eyes, the emperor beat her, and after she was seriously ill, she thought that her life was not long, so she wanted to ask before she died, the emperor's promise of many years of love may be very high, and then she was really scared Zhou Hou, Zhou Hou is a person who can fight anything. After the emperor beat him, she thought for a long time that she would rather work hard to live.

The queen said again: "The first few girls of the Zhou family were married and engaged, and now it's the fifth girl's turn. I heard that there are many people coming to ask for marriage."

As soon as these words came out, both Zhulan and Su Xuan became nervous.

The queen paused and continued: "I heard that the fifth girl is quiet, and I heard from the emperor that Zhou Hou is reluctant to get married early. If the fifth girl chooses someone, I will personally give the marriage."

Su Xuan, "..."

Bamboo orchid,

"..."

No, no one cares about your marriage, even our chosen son-in-law does not care about it. In case the granddaughter wants to divorce her husband in the future, it is not easy to divorce her husband with a marriage, so she can only lose her husband.

Zhulan thought a little too much, got up quickly and said: "My wife thanked the empress for her kindness, but my Lord Hou is reluctant to let his granddaughter be wronged after marriage."

The queen understood immediately, "!!"

No, whose granddaughter doesn't expect to be peaceful and beautiful when she gets married, and no one dares to provoke the fifth girl when she bestows a marriage. Why is the Zhou family afraid that they will not be able to reconcile? If the marriage is not decided, first think about how to deal with it in case things go wrong, it is really insightful!

Su Xuan also widened her eyes, and then pressed the corners of her upturned mouth. She can run the Su family alone, and she is not a person who follows the rules, so it is not normal to live a bad life and be divorced!

Su Xuan knew in her heart that her daughter was not going well after marriage, let alone divorce, she really dared to divorce her husband.

After the queen sent her away, she was still in a daze, "The Zhouhou couple let the chief see you."

The female officer said with a smile in her tone, "The Zhou family really loves their daughter."

The queen was silent, yes, the Zhou family really loved their daughter.

After leaving the palace, Su Xuan was a little dazed, "Mother, the queen has not seen anyone for a few days, and she summoned us alone today, what is the reason?"

Just to say bestow marriage? Send something?

Zhulan looked at the big and small boxes in the carriage, "First, the empress summoned me alone to show the importance the royal family attaches to Zhouhou's mansion. Second, the empress also wanted to express that the Wen family would not hold grudges against Zhouhou. Third, talk about Yuwen's marriage is to show the emperor that she has no extra thoughts about Yuwen."

Su Xuan, "Why do you say you have no idea about Yuwen?"

Zhulan said quietly: "The crown prince is going to get married, and there are many discussions about the candidate for the side concubine, and the queen has thought about it."

Su Xuan was frightened, bah, she doesn't expect great wealth, she only hopes that the lazy girl will live a smooth life, and the side concubine is also a concubine, isn't this plucking her heart?

Su Xuan, "Mother, where did you see that?"

Zhulan pointed to the location of the imperial palace, "I heard something from your father-in-law, and I had a premonition, and today it came true."

Su Xuan stared at her mother-in-law. Seriously, her mother-in-law is nothing like a child who grew up in the village. Even if her father-in-law teaches his wife behind her back, her mother-in-law is too talented. She can see through the essence at a glance, and she admires her mother-in-law from the bottom of her heart. Learned a lot from my mother in law.

Back home, Zhulan registered the items sent by the queen. These were unregistered items that could be given away privately, such as high-quality tea, and silks and satins sent to the palace.

Going down to the yamen, Zhulan didn't take entering the palace seriously, she just talked with Shuren and it was over. Shuren and the emperor came back from playing chess and talked to her, so she was mentally prepared.

So what the queen said today is not surprising, obviously the emperor beat the queen.

But Sifang was not calm anymore, and Changzhi didn't read the book after dinner, "Is everything you said true?"

Su Xuan rolled her eyes, "Is there any truth to what mother said?"

Changzhi, "The harem is the whirlpool. Yuwen has really been plotted against. Our Hou Mansion has really become a thorn in the side of the aristocratic family in the capital."

Su Xuan was also terrified, "Who's to say it's not, father can be regarded as half of the prince's master, the Supreme Emperor and the emperor value father very much, our Marquis will face many schemes, and my daughter is even more dangerous."

If it really happens, the Shangguan family will break with the Hou family, whoever makes the girl really become a side concubine will endanger the position of the Shangguan family's crown princess.

Chang Zhi lowered his voice, "Do you think Dad discovered something, which is why he made a fuss in the court?"

Su Xuan hesitated, "It's really possible."

If Zhou Shuren knew about it, he must have really thought about it so much. If the emperor didn't ask him to play chess, he really wouldn't suspect that the queen missed his granddaughter. He thought he had made his attitude towards the royal family clear enough!

Time passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, the autumn harvest was over, and the rural examinations in various places were also over, and everyone was waiting for the results.

This year Jiang Du participated in the provincial examination, and after waiting for a few days, the list came out, and many people in the capital went to see the list.

Ming Rui accompanied Shangguan Liu to watch the list today, and of course Chang Zhong and the Fourth Prince joined in the fun.

When the list came out, Shangguan Liu ranked third, a good ranking. Shangguan Liu was very satisfied, a few places higher than he thought. Seeing Mingrui still staring at the list, he smiled and said, "What? Regret it?"

Mingrui, "I won't regret the decision I made, I just saw the name of Mr. Sixth Wen."

Shangguan Liu is very concerned about the Wen family, and everyone has a relationship with the crown prince, "Sixth?"

Mingrui, "Well, let's go out, it's too crowded here."

Shangguan Liu looked at the rankings again, the first was the eldest grandson of Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, the second was not a familiar family child, the fourth and fifth were all acquaintances.
