"Girl," Baomei helped Sima Xiang to get out of the car, and whispered in her ear, "It seems that there is a car from the Grand Master's mansion parked at the door."
Sima Xiang tilted his head and glanced, and walked towards the mansion with a smile on his face.
In the inner courtyard, the third wife and the eldest wife were drinking tea, the atmosphere was very harmonious, and the influence of those rumors in the previous days could not be seen.
"Is there a letter from the royal family?" Compared with the eldest wife, the third wife seemed a little impatient. "The queen mother has never let go, and I don't know what it means."
"The eldest princess Deyi replied that the queen mother declined her proposal," the eldest wife shook her head and took a sip of tea to suppress the complicated emotions in her heart, "The sage is only a half-aged boy now, how can he know about love and only say that he is not in power? Before, marriage was not considered."
"If you don't get married, you want to govern yourself," the third wife snorted coldly, "he thinks well." Even if the emperor thought about it himself, the courtiers might not agree.
The eldest lady gave her a fluttering look, turned her head to look at her daughter who was sitting next to her, put down the teacup and said, "I'm here today, and I have something else to tell you."
The third wife smiled when she heard the words: "I don't know what happened to the eldest sister-in-law?"
"Princess Deyi asked our Sima family for marriage for her eldest grandson, and I agreed." The eldest wife said, "Princess Eldest's eldest grandson is seventeen years old. In the capital, Honglu Temple is appointed as Shaoqing.”
The third wife was stunned. She didn't know what the sister-in-law meant, so she could only laugh: "Even if the sister-in-law said yes, it will be good."
"The family style of the Sang Ganshen family is still trustworthy," the eldest wife said straight ahead, seemingly unaware of the other party's unease, "Although his position does not seem to be high now, he is motivated and has two differences with the royal family. It is also appropriate to assign him to Linger.”
The third wife was a little surprised. It turned out that the eldest sister-in-law did not come to say kisses to her own girl, but made a decision for the eldest girl? Didn't the big house intend to send the big girl to the palace earlier, why did he change his mind
Seeing that the concubine didn't seem to understand, the eldest wife couldn't help but persuaded: "It is said that the Zhou family intends to send the girl into the palace as a concubine, but the queen mother refused."
Even the Queen Mother's family tried to send people into the palace, but they were unsuccessful, let alone their Sima family. What their Sima family has now is nothing but the good name accumulated by their ancestors and the kinship with the Holy Mother.
But the things that the ancestors saved are always the ancestors', and the people outside respected their Sima family, and they would not put the glory of the ancestors directly on their younger generation. What's more, since the saint ascended the throne, he did not show closeness to their Sima family, but was rather cold and distant.
Their big room slightly showed that they valued the queen's position, but it was just an attitude of valuing the emperor, but it did not mean that they were bound to win the latter position. It is a blessing to be able to get it, and it will not be too disappointing if it cannot be obtained.
Seeing that Sanfang's ambitions for the latter position are getting bigger and bigger recently, she was worried that she would not be able to step down from the stage, so she couldn't help but persuade her. They were in the same room, and no matter which room was disgraced, the other two rooms wouldn't look good either.
So when Sanfang wanted to promote their children's reputation a few days ago, their big room did not stop them, and even pushed the boat down to suppress the previous rumors.
"Although His Majesty is young, he is a very thoughtful person." Speaking of which, the eldest wife can't go on, and it will embarrass the third siblings.
Unfortunately, to her disappointment, after hearing her words, the third wife did not let go.
"Eldest madam, madam, the girl is here." A maid in lotus-colored clothes led Sima Xiang in, blessed everyone in the room, and retreated silently.
After salutes and greetings, Sima Xiang sat down next to the third wife, and then quietly listened to the elders chatting.
When she learned that Sima Ling was actually engaged to the son of the Shen family in Sanggan County, she showed a look of surprise on her face. Didn't the eldest aunt plan to send the eldest sister to the palace before, why did she suddenly marry the Shen family
Perhaps the surprise on her face was too obvious. Sima Ling, who was sitting opposite her, smiled at her with a hint of ease.
Seeing this smile, Sima Xiang was a little stunned. The eldest sister can easily choose to give up, can she
Firmly clenching her sleeves, Sima Xiang smiled back at Sima Ling: "My sister is here to congratulate her."
Sima Ling covered the corners of her mouth and laughed softly, and the joy in the corners of her eyes leaked out unconsciously.
Sima Xiang's mother and daughter sent off the person in the big room, and the third wife raised her eyebrows and smiled: "The girl in the big room has booked a marriage, the second room... Now the only one in our Sima family who is expected to enter the palace is you." If anything happens, the big room and the third room have to help.
Seeing the smile on her mother's face, Sima Xiang was stunned for a moment, then whispered, "Well."
She and Sima Ling are different, so what they want is also different.
After Jin Yang returned to the Qiankun Palace, he practiced calligraphy for a while, and finally asked Bai Xian to call Gu Cunjing.
"Your Majesty." Gu Cunjing was wearing his regular clothes, looking like he had changed shifts with his colleagues and was ready to go home.
"I asked you to come here for some personal business," Jin Yang asked the uninvolved people to leave the room, clasped his hands on the imperial case, and bent his right thumb unconsciously, "I heard that Lingtang intends to appoint Young Master Yang for Junior Sister?"
"Is there such a thing?" Gu Cunjing was stunned, thinking about it for a long time, "My mother never mentioned this."
Seeing that Gu Cunjing didn't look like he was lying, Jin Yang let go of his hands and said hesitantly, "Marriage is a major event in a woman's life, and it must not be sloppy. Logically speaking, I shouldn't talk too much about the private affairs of the husband's family. It's just that in my eyes, my sister is no different from my own sister, and I always worry about what she encounters is inhuman."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the family has been in pain for a long time, so she will not be wronged in the marriage," Gu Cunjing paused, "Wei Chen thanked His Majesty for your concern on behalf of her sister."
"My intention to stay for a long time is the same as yours," Jin Yang smiled, "I always hope that she will have a good life before you can rest assured."
Gu Cunjing had a smile on his face, but he had some doubts in his heart. King Cheng also had daughters, but after His Majesty ascended the throne, it seemed that he did not give favor to these brothers and sisters. How do you look at it, how can it not be a good brother who cares for his sister.
After returning home, Gu Cunjing told Gu Changling about it.
Gu Changling said with a smile: "It is rumored that the princess in Prince Cheng's mansion is completely opposite to his father's character. He is decisive in killing and his temper is like fire, which makes countless people avoid and revere. It is said that when His Majesty was in the mansion of Prince Cheng, his temperament was gentle, and he was on the same level as the princess. Not often."
It's not easy to say willful and unruly in such a euphemistic and harmonious way.
Thinking of the various sturdy deeds of the princesses and princesses of Dafeng in the past, and thinking about his own sister, Gu Cunjing felt that he seemed to understand why the emperor would spend his extra love on Jiujiu.
There is a half-sister who is arrogant and willful, the woman in charge of the house is also the mother of the half-sister, and the biological father is a no-brainer.
"Father, in your opinion, which girl will the emperor ask to marry?" Gu Cunjing asked curiously.
"Which one do you think it is?" Gu Changling asked without answering.
"According to the emperor's current attitude, the Sima family and the Li family are unlikely, but the emperor will never let the daughter of the upstart family be the queen, so the queen will definitely come out of the second- and third-rate families." He thought carefully. There are a few well-known, noble and low-key families in Beijing, and they were a little uncertain at the end: "Could it be... the Yang family?"
Gu Changling smiled but didn't answer. After Gu Cunjing couldn't hold it any longer, he said, "You only consider the situation, but not people's hearts."
"People's hearts?" Gu Cunjing looked at his pretending to be sophisticated father and was skeptical of his words, "Your Majesty seems... not a person who attaches great importance to feelings."
Gu Changling raised his eyebrows and glanced at his son, and said lazily, "Let's watch it slowly."
While the father and son were talking, they heard the voices of the maids saying hello from outside. It turned out that the mother and daughter of Yang and Gu Rujiu had returned.
When Gu Cunjing saw his younger sister following behind his mother, he couldn't help but think of the emperor again.
Is the little sister the emperor wanted in his heart like his sister
