The marriage between Yu Fei and Mr. Niu was finally settled. Although Yulan asked Ma Yunniang again and again, and indirectly reminded Mrs. Niu through Mrs. Ma to find a suitable marriage partner, Mrs. Niu still came to visit again after a few days, and her words were off-topic.

It revealed that he wanted to get married to the eldest son of the Yang family. But the target was the seventh girl.

During this period, Mrs. Niu invited the eldest wife to have tea at her house. Mr. Niu Zheng happened to be studying in the house that day, so he came out to meet him. When the eldest wife saw her, she was a little disappointed at first sight. Mr. Niu's appearance was really mediocre. Good.

After being exposed to it, he is knowledgeable and sensible, and has a certain method between advance and retreat. He was born in a family of military commanders, but he does not like weapons and books. He has already obtained the title of Juren at a young age. After a few more years of hard work, it will not be difficult to be named on the gold list and pass on to the golden palace.

!

No wonder Mrs. Niu dares to have an idea for the granddaughter of the chief minister!

Anyway, I am not choosing a son-in-law for my biological daughter. The eldest wife thinks that Mr. Niu is just so-so and can be considered.

However, Mrs. Niu asked Yulan to be her daughter-in-law as soon as she opened her mouth. The eldest wife saw that Mrs. Niu was a bit dishonest, so she was not vague and gently declined on the pretext that Yulan had two sisters whose marriage was undecided.

It's just that Yu Fei's appearance is not outstanding since she was born in the third grade. She is already marrying into a lowly family. Yulan is getting older and has begun to show her stunning appearance. In addition, she is good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although her biological mother has a humble status, she has

It's not something that people like the Niu family can dream of.

Mrs. Niu was so embarrassed that she went home unhappy. When Master Niu heard about it, he scolded his wife severely. He also wanted to get married to the Yang family. He had been working in Beizhen Fusi for ten years.

Although he is a close confidant of the emperor, who would not want to make further progress if he goes to higher places! If he becomes a relative with the chief minister, the benefits to his career will be self-evident.

Mrs. Niu had no choice but to visit again shamelessly with gifts. This time, the conversation changed, and the marriage partner changed from the seventh girl to the fourth girl. This time, the eldest lady did not refuse on the spot. She only said that there was an old lady at home and she wanted to marry the old lady.

Ask for instructions.

As the saying goes, marrying a wife with a high head and marrying a daughter with a low head, Mrs. Niu knew that it was a joke if the eldest wife did not refuse on the spot. At this time, it was appropriate to put on airs, so she had no choice but to return home anxiously and wait for the news.

The eldest lady didn't trick her at all. After Mrs. Niu left, she went to Songhe Hall to ask for an audience with the old lady. Originally, with Mrs. Niu's mercurial attitude and the eldest lady's temperament, she would have disdained getting married to her, but Yufei was really

She couldn't afford to delay, and the pressure on her from the old lady was increasing. The eldest lady regarded the Niu family's marriage as a life-saving straw - take it first and deal with it first.

When they arrived at Songhe Hall, the eldest lady explained the situation of the Niu family, and the old lady made a calculation in her mind: The Yang family is the head of the civil service, and the Niu family belongs to the military system. Since ancient times, the intersection of civil and military affairs has been a taboo in the court, but the second son of Niu is not the eldest son.

, Yu Fei is a concubine who doesn’t stand out, and Young Master Niu is on the right track in the imperial examination, so there are no big obstacles.

The old lady was more concerned about her granddaughter's marriage than the eldest lady. She also invited Mrs. Niu and Mr. Niu to visit her. She was very satisfied with Niu Zheng at first sight. She showed satisfaction on the spot. Mrs. Niu returned home.

They invited a big matchmaker to come to the house, and the two families exchanged their marriage certificates and married each other. The marriage was settled just like that.

After all this, no one asked Yu Fei, the fourth girl, if she was willing. Originally, she had no part in the parents' order to find a matchmaker. That day, the old lady invited Mrs. Niu and Mr. Niu to a banquet. Yu Fei took the risk.

I took a sneak peek, and when I got back, I closed the door of Qiuxiang Pavilion and had a violent fit.

Not to mention that Niu Zheng is better-looking than a top handsome guy like Ye Minchun, even a servant in the family is better-looking than him. How can Yu Fei be willing to accept it! What's more, the Niu family is only a third-grade military attache of the same grade compared to a civil servant.

She bowed her head again, and Yu Fei, who wanted to marry into a high-ranking family, naturally looked down upon her. She hated the eldest wife. At this time, it was also reported in the house that the Niu family was seeking the seventh girl at first, and Yu Fei was full of resentment.

All of them were directed at Yu Lan. "Bitch!" "You little son of a bitch!" He cursed for a whole hour before he finally stopped.

After Yulan heard about it, she was deeply happy for Yufei. Although the Niu family was low-ranking, he was a close confidant of the emperor. Mr. Niu was in charge of the "Prison Prison" and had great power. Mrs. Niu saw that she was not very difficult to serve after meeting her once. Niu Er

The young master won the imperial examination at a young age, and his future is bright. There are definitely fewer twists and turns in the family of a military general than a civil servant. With such a family background, if possible, she would rather marry into it instead of Yu Fei!

Some are happy and some are sad. No matter the rain or the rain, no one can change this fait accompli.

After the marriage was decided, Yufei stopped going to school and hid in Qiuxiang Pavilion all day embroidering her dowry. At the strong request of the eldest wife, Yufei's wedding was scheduled for March next year, and time was very tight.

While the wife was busy preparing for her marriage, what was even more worrying was Yuxin's marriage.

Since the beginning of winter, the Queen Mother's health has been getting worse day by day, especially the death of Princess Bai of Jin Dynasty, which has dealt a heavy blow to the old Queen Mother. The eldest lady prays to God and Buddha every day, hoping that the Queen Mother and her old lady will live a long life - at least.

You have to wait until Yuxin becomes the crown princess before you start kicking!

Cining Palace.

The Empress Dowager Cixiao was lying on the big pillow, her face was sallow, several basins of charcoal fires were burning in the room, and it was as warm as spring, but the Empress Dowager still felt cold. She knew that her life was not long, and she remembered that she had married Emperor Taizong at the age of fourteen and had nothing to do in her life.

, for her husband, for her son, and for the empire, she devoted her whole life, but to this day, Chu still has a country within a country, and its unification is indefinite. The emperor is stupid and the prince is cowardly. It becomes more and more obvious that the Jin Dynasty king is outstanding and capable! Back then, Emperor Taizong wanted to ascend to the throne.

I personally killed my brother, Emperor Taizu, with my own hands. Is this retribution?

If the emperor's position was returned to Taizu, would this country be better off? There is no turning back after starting work, and all this is impossible!

The Empress Dowager coughed for a while, and the old nanny who was waiting at the side quickly patted her back gently and brought a spittoon. The Empress Dowager spit out a mouthful of phlegm and she felt better. The old nanny carefully helped her lie down, and the Queen Mother opened her cloudy eyes:

"My days are running out, it's time for us to meet the man in Jingyang Palace!"

The old grandma's surname is Jiang. She has been with the Queen Mother for thirty years. She is deeply trusted and relied upon by the Queen Mother. She couldn't help but burst into tears after hearing the Queen Mother's words: "Queen Mother, you have great blessings and you will definitely live a long life."

.If you relax your mind, your illness will naturally get better!"

The Queen Mother took a breath and said, "You don't have to comfort me, I know my body. While I still understand now, I'll do everything I can! I'm not afraid of death, I'm just worried about the emperor and the prince.

, I’m worried about Da Chu’s country…”

The Queen Mother's voice was filled with sorrow, and the old grandmother was already in tears.

The Queen Mother said, "Now is not the time to cry. In recent days, my health has been getting worse and worse, and even my mental state has deteriorated a lot. You have been with me for so many years, and your eyes rarely look at the wrong person. Do you think Concubine Hui is a

What kind of person?"

The old nanny wiped her tears and said, "I think Concubine Hui is a very smart person!"

"Smart! Smart!" The Queen Mother murmured, chewing on these two words, and said slowly: "Yes! Under the eyes of the domineering Concubine Xiao, as a brothel girl, she rose step by step from a low-level palace concubine to the fourth concubine.

First of all, not only did she give birth to a son, but she also protected her son from growing up healthily. Such a woman is more than just smart!"

"Over the years, she has skillfully maneuvered between the Queen and Concubine Xiao. Although she is not close to anyone, neither of them regards her as a potential opponent and suppresses her. This kind of method really makes even me ashamed.

!”

The old grandma trembled all over after hearing this. This kind of woman is really terrifying!

The Queen Mother rested for a while before continuing: "The Xiao family is too powerful, and the Queen has such a soft temper. If the Ai family goes away, I am afraid that the harem will fall into the hands of Concubine Xiao, and the status of the Crown Prince will also be affected."

If Concubine Hui is there to help, the empress may be able to fight against Concubine Xiao. However, Concubine Hui's temperament is still unclear to the Ai family. I hope this time she will not lead a wolf into the house! After all, she still has

With a son, there is no guarantee that she will not be ambitious..."

The old woman said: "Huifei has no foundation in the court, and the fifth son of the emperor has no maternal family to rely on. She should not be so confused..."

The Queen Mother let out a long sigh: "I hope so! Well, go and ask her to come in and see me!"

That night, Concubine Hui went to Cining Palace overnight and had a secret talk with the Queen Mother for an hour before returning to Jingyang Palace with a solemn expression. The next day, the Empress Dowager issued an edict, giving Concubine Hui the right to co-manage the Sixth Palace. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that.

Knowing that Concubine Hui and the Queen Mother had reached some kind of agreement, Concubine Xiao was furious after hearing the news. Thinking that the Queen Mother's life was in danger, she finally endured the situation.

That month, the Shu Han army gathered and prepared to move, which shocked the whole country. The orthodox emperor personally led Zhao Wang Ye Minyu to inspect the defense of the Yangtze River. Yang Peishi, the chief minister of the cabinet, accompanied him, and the prince stayed in the capital to supervise the country.

On this day, the eldest lady entered the palace, first met with the Queen Mother, and then went to Jingyang Palace to meet Concubine Hui. When she returned to the Yang Mansion, the eldest lady swept away the gloom of the past and became full of spring breeze.

That night, he called the eighth girl Yu Xin to him and told her to prepare quickly and take her to Xishan Lingguang Temple to offer incense tomorrow. The eighth girl was naturally happy after hearing this.

The next day, Yu Xin packed up and went to the main room to see the eldest wife, but she saw the eldest wife lying sickly on the Arhat bed. She only said that she had caught the wind and cold. The eighth girl was disappointed, thinking that she would not be able to go to Xishan Lingguang Temple.

.Unexpectedly, the eldest lady actually allowed her to go alone, and only sent Mother Wu to accompany her.

As she got older, the eldest wife's control over Yuxin became more and more strict. Yuxin was really overjoyed that she was willing to make such an arrangement today, so she happily took the maid and her mother-in-law out of the Yang Mansion. The group walked several miles and left the city.

When they were about to reach Lingguang Temple, a group of bandits masked in black turbans rushed out of the gate and surrounded the carriage Yu Xin was riding in. Yu Xin's bold temper made her scalp numb with fear.

It happened that on this day, the prince Ye Minshu went to the fifth regiment camp of the capital to inspect military affairs. As he walked to the west mountain, he happened to be robbed by bandits. The prince led a group of generals to easily defeat the bandits and rescued Yu Xin.
