Phoenix Hairpin - Chapter 18

[Chapter 18 Mother and Daughter]

Queen Qiao glanced at Princess Hui’an angrily: “You said it lightly.”

“King Xingyang led the Xingyang army to fight outside, fighting for the great Wei. As a queen, I made things difficult for King Xingyang’s only beloved daughter in the palace. When this matter spread to your father’s ears, what would King Xingyang think? You? What will the father think?”

“Do you really think that when you become a queen, you can do whatever you want, and everything depends on your temperament?”

Princess Hui’an spoke bluntly, and she opened her mouth and poked into Queen Qiao’s heart: “The queen mother is so cautious, it is just because she is afraid that the father and the emperor will not like it. It is too embarrassing to endure like this.”

“Actually, the queen mother is more patient, and the father is not biased towards Concubine Meng Gui and the eldest prince. If you want me to say, it is better to straighten your back, say whatever you want, do whatever you want, that’s what makes you happy. ”

Queen Qiao was stabbed in the sore spot, and glared at Princess Hui’an with an ugly face: “Damn! Are you able to say such things? You are already twenty, and you are an adult. How can you still talk like a child? It’s just nonsense. Nonsense, I don’t know what it means!”

Princess Hui’an was reprimanded and felt unhappy in her heart.

Queen Qiao was not favored, and even her eldest princess, who was born directly, was not as favored by her father as Princess Jing’an, who was born by Concubine Meng.

Princess Hui’an was unruly, irritable and irritable, and suddenly sneered: “Yes, yes, the mother is not willing to listen to this, I will not say it.”

After speaking, Princess Hui’an turned her head to one side and refused to talk to Queen Qiao any more.

Queen Joe’s temple throbbed.

She stretched out her hand, rubbed it hard for a moment, swallowed the sullen breath in her heart, and her voice softened a lot: “That Lu Mingyu has a top-notch family background and appearance. However, her temperament is indeed a bit rough, not suitable to be a prince concubine, and I don’t choose her. That’s all. If this palace reprimands and punishes in public, it will lose the Queen’s bearing.”

Princess Hui’an snorted from her nose: “I’m talking nonsense, I don’t know what to say, and I don’t know what’s wrong. If the mother has any plans, you don’t need to tell me.”

Queen Joe: “…”

This is biological.

Queen Qiao recited this sentence for several times, and patiently coaxed: “Okay, it was the mother who was wrong just now, so you shouldn’t reprimand you. Don’t be angry with your mother.”

That’s more or less.

Princess Hui’an then turned her head: “It’s good that the mother knows what’s wrong.”

Queen Joe: “…”

Queen Qiao twitched the corners of her mouth slightly and changed the subject: “Forget it, let’s not talk about that. Today, so many famous ladies enter the palace, in your opinion, who can be the second prince and concubine?”

Princess Hui’an’s attention was immediately attracted, she thought for a moment, and said, “In terms of family background, Qiao Wan and Zhao Yu are the best. In terms of appearance, Meng Yunluo and Jin Can’er are both good, and Shen Lan, who looks dignified and decent. .”

Of course, the crowd also has some shortcomings.

The Qiao family is a famous scholar and has no military power.

Zhao Yu is an embroidered pillow with a shallow mind.

Meng Yunluo is the direct daughter of the Marquis of Guangping, and the Marquis of Guangping and the Second Prince are naturally at odds.

Jin Can’er was impulsive and mindless, and could not bear to be a princess.

Shen Lan is handsome and dignified, but her family background is slightly lower.

After Princess Hui’an analyzed them one by one, she was shocked: “Huh? In this comparison, Lu Mingyu is the best.”

My father is a military general who holds a heavy army, with a beautiful and heroic appearance, and is unparalleled in coldness.

Innate power, good skills.

Among the famous ladies who entered the palace today, Lu Mingyu claimed to be the second, and no one dared to boast the first.

Queen Qiao said lightly: “Even if Lu Mingyu has a lot of good things, she can’t be chosen as her daughter-in-law just by her words and deeds today.”

“Your younger brother is a direct descendant of the prince, and in the future he will be the crown prince sitting on the dragon chair. The daughter-in-law of this palace is the future prince concubine of the Great Wei Dynasty. Lu Mingyu acts recklessly and has a rude temperament. Daughter-in-law, this palace can’t bear it.”

Queen Qiao was born in a scholarly family. She has read poetry and books since she was young, and she admires and loves a dignified and elegant lady from a famous family.

She is definitely not a generalist like Lu Mingyu!

Princess Hui’an felt a little regretful: “It’s a pity.

If he can get married with the Xingyang Palace, the second brother will have such a brave father-in-law, and there will be people in the army to support him.

In the future, the road to the canonization of the prince will be smoother.

”

Queen Qiao also weighed it in her heart, and said slowly: “If Lu Mingyu did it out of her own heart and out of her own mind, she would not be worthy of being a concubine. If she did it intentionally, she would not be chosen.”

This is true.

Twisted melons are not sweet.

Heaven’s family chooses a daughter-in-law, and others must be willing!

Princess Hui’an glanced at Queen Qiao and asked bluntly: “Cousin Wan is in the picture of the mother?” It was a question, but her tone was very certain.

Queen Joe nodded slightly.

Princess Hui’an is arrogant and arrogant, but not stupid at all: “Qiao’s family is the mother’s family, even if they don’t get married, they will support the second brother. It is better to choose another famous lady to give the second brother a powerful wife. The daughter of a general was chosen.”

Qiao Ge was always the head of the civil servants, and the second prince was the second prince, and the civil servants who insisted on orthodoxy naturally supported the second prince.

What the second prince lacked was the support of the generals.

It is not bad to choose Qiao Wan as the second prince concubine. However, it is really a waste of the prince concubine’s position.

Queen Qiao sighed: “I don’t know what you said.”

“Your father’s heart has long favored Concubine Meng Gui’s mother and son. The Marquis of Guangping is very powerful in the army and is your father’s confidant. General Liang Da is the commander of the imperial guards, and is most trusted by your father. The generals in the army can cooperate with General Hou Liang of Guangping contended…”

“Only King Xingyang and Marquis Puyang.” Princess Hui’an took over the words hurriedly: “Marquis Puyang is the grandmother’s family. The grandmother has long planned to marry Zhao Yu to the fourth prince. Therefore, only the Lu family is left. .”

The mother and daughter looked at each other and frowned at the same time.

After a while, Princess Hui’an broke the silence: “The matter of choosing a prince and concubine is no trivial matter, and it has to be carefully considered. The second brother will go out with his father and will return to Beijing soon. When the second brother comes back, ask the second brother’s heart, It’s not too late to make a decision.”

That’s all there is to it.

Queen Joe nodded slightly.

At this moment, the door was gently knocked a few times, and Cailan’s respectful voice sounded: “Qi Empress, Empress Zhaorong has been shouting that she has shortness of breath, chest tightness and headache, and wants to ask the imperial doctor to take a look.”

Concubines were not allowed to send imperial physicians at will.

It must be ordered by the Queen.

Of course, the favored Concubine Meng is an exception.

A trace of contempt flashed in Queen Qiao’s eyes, and she replied lightly, “Pass on the word of this palace, and ask the imperial hospital to send an imperial physician to Yihua Palace to see Su Zhaorong.”

She came from a famous family, and never looked down on Su Zhaorong’s weak, crying and headache-inducing style.

A dancer is a dancer, from a humble background and cannot stand on the stage.

A mere Lu Mingyu made her run away in fright.

Also ask a doctor to see a doctor.

At this time, Queen Qiao completely forgot that she was also sulking because of Lu Mingyu.
