Phoenix Hairpin - Chapter 100

[Chapter 100]
Queen Qiao sighed for a moment, cheered up and said with a smile: “No matter what, your grandfather and grandmother always love you. Don’t alienate them.”
Li Jing nodded with a smile.
Queen Qiao smiled again: “You don’t have to worry about things like recruiting. Just wait until you marry Fourth Miss Lu.” When Lu
Mingyu was mentioned, Li Jing’s eyes lit up a little: “Thank you, Queen Mother.”
Qiao The queen is also a visitor, how can she not see the joy in her son’s eyes.
He couldn’t help but sighed with a smile: “Your grandmother said something right. It’s not as good as your heart. You like Miss Lu Si. If you marry her in the future, you have to live a good life.”
That Miss Lu Si was not soft-hearted .
Good temper.
This sentence, Queen Qiao did not say it, and showed it in her eyes.
Li Jing smiled meaningfully: “My mother doesn’t have to worry about me. Even if she does it out of anger, she will only do it to others, not to me.”
Queen Qiao suppressed her worries and echoed with a smile. : “I hope so.”
Li Jing smiled but said nothing.
“Reporting to the Empress,” Cai Lan smiled and reported, “The Empress Dowager sent a message asking the Empress to go to Shouning Palace.”
Empress Dowager Zhao did not pay much attention to Empress Qiao on weekdays.
It is rare to take the initiative to call today, and it must be something important.
Queen Qiao thought for a while, and then guessed one or two.
She got up with a smile: “This palace will go to Shouning Palace.”
… Before a cup of tea,
Queen
Qiao entered Shouning Palace, and smiled and greeted her: “My daughter-in-law has seen my mother.”
Sweeping, lightly smiled and said: “The queen is not polite, sit down and talk!”
Empress Dowager Zhao is fifty-eight years old this year, approaching her sixtieth year.
However, Empress Dowager Zhao always pays attention to maintenance, and her slightly gray hair must be dyed black.
I dress up every day, and the wrinkles at the corners of my eyes and brows are mostly covered by powder.
A graceful and luxurious empress dowager.
Just looking at the appearance, it doesn’t look like a mean person.
In fact, the
Queen Mother Zhao’s reputation inside and outside the palace is really not very good.
She is neither shrewd nor powerful, but she is still partial, blindly partial to Concubine Qin, but she is lukewarm to her serious daughter-in-law, Queen Qiao.
Perhaps, most of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the world are like this.
I can’t say the specific reason, that is, I don’t see you well, and you don’t see me as happy and comfortable.
Queen Qiao was accustomed to her mother-in-law’s indifference and partiality. After thanking her, she sat down.
Empress Dowager Zhao didn’t have to go around and ask directly: “What are you going to do about the marriage of the three princes?”
It really was for the marriage of the princes.
Queen Qiao replied respectfully: “The House of Internal Affairs built the Prince’s Mansion two years ago. Now that the princes have decided on marriage, the daughter-in-law intends to order the House of Internal Affairs to renovate and relocate the three Prince’s Mansion.
” The precedent can be followed.
One month before the eldest prince got married, he moved out of the palace and moved into the prince’s mansion.
At the time of the big wedding, Mrs. Liang passed the door to marry the eldest prince concubine.
The three brothers of the second prince got married, and naturally they also got married in the prince’s mansion.
The Prince’s Palace was built several years ago.
After going out of the palace gate, you will arrive by horse-drawn carriage and tea kung fu.
Several palaces of princes, two palaces of princesses, and other close relatives of the royal family also lived near the palace.
Empress Qiao said that she had three brothers. Empress Zhao was quite satisfied, and her voice softened a bit: “The second prince and the third prince have reached the age of marriage. The fourth prince is two years younger, and the wedding date will be delayed by a year or two. Don’t be in a hurry. First, tidy up the Second Prince’s Mansion and the Third Prince’s Mansion.”
Empress Dowager Zhao did not want to see her daughter-in-law, but the princes were all her grandsons.
Even though he is partial to the fourth prince, he is also very concerned about the marriage of the second prince and the third prince.
Queen Joe responded with a smile.
Empress Dowager Zhao asked in detail about the dowry.
Queen Qiao said calmly: “My daughter-in-law has also carefully thought about accepting the betrothal. The eldest prince is a concubine, and he went to Liang’s house to deliver the betrothal that day. The total price of the betrothal gift was about 10,000 taels.
” Same as the first prince. The second prince is a direct descendant, and should be 30% higher than the concubine prince. Therefore, the daughter-in-law prepares the betrothal gift according to this standard. I wonder what the mother
and empress
want?”
Queen Qiao spoke righteously.
The Queen Mother Zhao listened, but it was slightly harsh.
Concubine, concubine, what happened to concubine?
At that time, she was also the eldest daughter of the Zhao family.
The head of the Li family died of his original wife and married her concubine as his successor.
Fortunately, the deceased first wife only gave birth to two daughters, and within two years of her entering the door, she gave birth to a son Li Yuan.
She is a concubine, and her son is the eldest son of the Li family.
When Li Yuan was sixteen, he married the daughter of the Qiao family as his wife.
When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are in conflict, when did it start?
It was probably because the pride and restraint of the Qiao family’s daughter-in-law was a bit dazzling, making her mother-in-law unhappy.
She was cold and critical, and Qiao Shi had to endure it, and there was inevitably some resentment in her heart.
Especially after the Qin family passed the door.
She sympathized with her aunt and niece, and she was especially fond of her fourth grandson.
The daughter-in-law Qiao was dissatisfied, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law became more and more estranged.
However, she didn’t care whether she was estranged or not.
As a mother-in-law, she has the upper hand over her daughter-in-law.
She is the empress dowager, and Queen Qiao can only respectfully make concessions and compromise.
Empress Dowager Zhao glanced at Empress Qiao and said lightly, “Aren’t the empress preparing for the betrothal gift like this, not afraid of losing the reputation of being unkind to her first-born mother?”
Queen Qiao sneered in her heart.
Empress Dowager Zhao is rarely picky about anything she does.
Queen Qiao replied calmly: “If the betrothal gifts are the same and the concubines are the same, it would be a joke in the eyes of people who pay attention to etiquette.”
Empress Dowager Zhao’s eyes were slightly cold, and she snorted from her nose: “Ai’s family is old, I don’t know what jokes are not jokes. Aijia just feels sorry for a few grandsons, who are obviously brothers and sisters of direct relatives.
Empress Dowager Zhao deliberately found fault, and her words were rather harsh.
Queen Qiao’s heart was burning, but she didn’t show it on her face, UU reading www.sonicmtl.
Com smiled and replied: “The mother-in-law said so, the daughter-in-law doesn’t know what to say. If it’s just a matter of food and clothing, the daughter-in-law will definitely treat it the same. It’s not possible to do this when it comes to betrothal gifts. Otherwise, the imperial censors in the court heard that How can this palace bear the impeachment of the third prince and the fourth prince?”
Empress Dowager Zhao raised her brows and gave Queen Qiao a deep look.
Queen Qiao sat upright and did not move.
Other things can be compromised, but it is about the dignity and decency of the eldest son, and must not be compromised.
Empress Dowager Zhao saw that Queen Qiao did not enter, and she felt annoyed in her heart, and said lightly: “Ai’s family is a little tired, the queen does not need to accompany Ai’s family here, let’s retire first!”
Queen Qiao respectfully got up and resigned.
When Empress Qiao left, Empress Dowager Zhao snorted heavily: “What a majestic empress!”
The dissatisfaction in her tone almost gushed out.
