The queen pondered for a long while, then said slowly: "A good appearance is second, the key is a good character."
"Li Shangshu is well disciplined, and all the daughters in the family are taught well." When Liu Guifei recommended Zhao Yunnuan before, she praised Zhao Yunnuan as the only one in the sky and the best in the earth. Now she praises Li Qingquan for still working hard, "The concubine and her Having said a few words, her temperament is gentle and submissive, and there is nothing to say about her, with her demeanor, those who don't know may think she is the princess of some family."
The queen's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Concubine Liu Gui covered her lips and smiled: "That's natural, how has the concubine ever deceived the empress?"
"There is a lack of such a reasonable woman around Feibai. Although Li Shangshu's family background is a bit poor, this girl's appearance and temperament are worthy of Feibai."
Concubine Liu Gui was delighted to see the queen nodding her head slightly thinking about this question.
At this moment, she had completely ignored Su Ying, and looked at the queen respectfully with a smile all over her face: "The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is a good marriage. Is it appropriate to point Miss Li to Feibai?"
Concubine Mi glanced at the queen, saw her frowning slightly, and smiled coquettishly: "The concubine also thinks that the daughter of the Li family is good, but the concubine also has someone to choose."
"Oh? Let's hear it."
"It's the second lady of Jiang Guogong's family, Jiang Rui."
Concubine Liu Gui glanced at Concubine Mi with some displeasure: "It's just a concubine."
The queen said, "Ms. Jiang's family is qualified to be a side concubine."
Seeing that the queen was interested, Concubine Mi had a smile on her lips: "Although Second Miss Jiang is a concubine, she is very talented. After a pair of embroidery, it can be said to be astonishing."
The Empress nodded, and Concubine Mi continued: "The second Miss Jiang entered the palace with the Great Concubine last time, and the concubine saw her. She has an outstanding appearance, not inferior to the Great Concubine at all, and she behaves gracefully and politely. It looks like a concubine but a concubine."
The queen pursed her lips and smiled: "The children of the Jiang family are all outstanding."
Concubine Liu Gui answered, "Second Miss Jiang's family is also a good candidate."
Concubine Mi also laughed: "The empress is the best judge of people. When will the girl she likes be invited to the palace, the empress will only decide after asking her carefully."
The queen nodded: "After all, it's a major matter of marriage, and I have to carefully consider it. Speaking of which, Fei Fei has also reached the age of discussing marriage, but what woman thinks it is suitable?"
Concubine Liu Gui sighed: "The concubine is also worried about this matter. The second lady Shu Ning from the Earl's Mansion of Yongning looks good, and the young lady Ouyang Xin from the Marquis Mansion of Yongding is also good. However, Fei Fei has no interest in these girls. , the courtiers and concubines don’t even know what to do.”
The queen nodded slightly: "Miss Shu, I have met once before in this palace. She looks pretty, and she is a good candidate. Marriage is a big matter, the parents' order and the matchmaker's words. Relationships are cultivated and cultivated. How can they be dragged on like this."
"What the queen said is very true."
Su Ying knelt until her knees hurt, and she couldn't even straighten her waist.
However, these three women couldn't stop gossip, and they almost talked about all the dignified and unmarried girls in the capital.
Which girl is better to be the side concubine of Duke Huai, and which one is better to be the fifth concubine for the fifth prince...
Su Ying secretly sighed in her heart, she was afraid that if they continued talking, she would faint.
While no one was paying attention to her, she carefully moved her legs and rubbed her legs with her hands carefully.
The queen glanced at her calmly, and said again: "I asked the kitchen to make a new snack today, and the two younger sisters will have lunch here."
Concubine Liu Gui and Concubine Mi stood up: "Thank you, Empress."
Su Ying looked at the sun outside, thinking that there would be a lot of trouble today.
Concubine Liu Gui and Concubine Mi left after lunch, and the queen went to take a nap.
Su Ying knelt in the empty Zhongcui Palace, her legs were sore and tired, plus she hadn't eaten for a long time, she wished she could faint.
Seeing that there was no one else, Su Ying couldn't help but lightly tapped her calf and kneecap with her fist.
"But you can't move after kneeling for a while?"
Su Ying was beating her legs, when she suddenly heard a slightly solemn voice behind her, she straightened her back and knelt down.
The queen dragged her long skirt and sat down on the queen's throne. She turned her head and glanced at Su Ying: "Ying'er, do you know your mistake?"
The queen raised her brows with a somewhat gloomy air.
Su Ying lowered her head, and answered honestly: "Ying'er knows his mistake."
"Tell me, where did you go wrong?"
Su Ying replied in a low voice: "Ying'er should persuade some princes..."
"anything else?"
Su Ying stammered, "We can't let him hurt the son of the Jiang family."
The queen pondered for a while: "Feibai's temperament is like this, and you really can't persuade him with your ability."
Su Ying's eye circles turned red: "The queen mother..."
"Did Feibai take you to the night market?"
"… yes."
The queen's voice raised a bit: "The dignified Princess Huai didn't stay in the mansion properly, but she came out to make trouble with Feibai! Feibai doesn't like the excitement the most, so why would she come out to visit the night market? It's all thanks to you!"
The queen's eyes were slightly cold, and the corners of her lips were tense.
Su Ying immediately made a look of extreme panic and tears: "Mother, Ying'er knows it's wrong."
"A woman's duty is to spread her branches and leaves, to care for her husband and teach her children at home! As Princess Huai, the most important thing for you is to take good care of Fei Bai instead of instigating him to go outside!"
Su Ying covered her eyes with a handkerchief and began to cry. She cried softly, almost out of breath.
The queen saw Su Ying crying pitifully, and snorted coldly: "What's the use of crying now? I always thought you were a sensible person, but since you married into Prince Huai's mansion, you have always made things that make things worse for me. Disappointing thing."
Su Ying continued to cry, sobbing more and more.
"It seems that the matter of marrying Fei Bai to the side concubine has to be put on the agenda as soon as possible, but this matter can't be rushed. You have just got married, and you need to give you some time to cultivate your relationship, otherwise the newcomer will not be there for you when he comes in. location."
A coldness flashed in Su Ying's dark eyes, so fast that people couldn't see through. She forced her face to the queen and said, "Thank you, mother, for thinking about Ying'er."
The queen said indifferently: "Now that this matter has passed, it can't be forgotten. The queen mother will naturally punish you. Are you willing to accept it?"
"Ying'er accepts punishment."
"I got a scripture recently, but the words on it are too small. I can't read it clearly, why don't you go and copy it again for me."
Su Ying answered honestly: "Yes."
"As soon as the copy is finished, I will let you go back at any time."
