Even after the Queen Mother heard about it, she immediately came to see Emperor Dongming, her face full of displeasure, "Your Majesty, Qingle's marriage has already been arranged, and please take it back. There are so many noble girls who have not left the court, why is Qingle the only one, she is dignified and dignified as a princess, and the concubine of the Qin family dares to think about it, wouldn't it make people laugh, after all, Qingle was brought up by the Ai family, and the Ai family naturally hopes She married better!"
Emperor Dongming was stunned for a moment, and looked at the Empress Dowager Lian pretending not to know, "Queen Mother, I really don't know about this matter, it's rare that Qin Yu is sincere, I have already agreed."
Even the queen mother snorted, she didn't believe that Emperor Dongming didn't know anything about it, and deliberately did it to disturb her relationship with the Lu family.
"Master Lu is a newcomer from Kyoto. He is both civil and military. He is the eldest son of the Lu family. He is a hundred times stronger than Qin Yu in terms of status. It is natural for Qingle to marry Young Master Lu. This matter is Aijia and Mrs. Lu. It has been discussed a long time ago, the emperor doesn't want to beat the mandarin ducks with sticks."
Even the queen mother refused to give an inch, and the child she raised ended up benefiting Emperor Dongming for nothing. Even the queen mother couldn't help being angry when she thought about it.
Even the Empress Dowager kept reminding Emperor Dongming that she was Qingle's direct grandmother, and it was not up to Emperor Dongming to intervene in Qingle's marriage.
Emperor Dongming pretended not to understand, and smiled, "Why should the empress be angry? I think that the second son of Qin has a brilliant literary talent. After solving this river problem, he will definitely do something in the future. He is also very suitable for Qingle. Since the empress has Why don't we ask Qingle what he thinks?"
Even the Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows, glanced at Emperor Dongming, knowing what kind of tricks Emperor Dongming was playing, and said, "A few days ago, there was a commotion about Qin Ergongzi and Qingle, Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Qin Young Master and Mrs. Zhen were both punished, and at this juncture, the Second Young Master Qin married Qing Le, which made the common people think of the imperial family, what a little girl can understand like the order of her parents and the words of a matchmaker."
Even the Empress Dowager insisted on the matter of that day, saying that she would not agree with Qingle marrying Qin Yu.
"My queen, I didn't make a decree to give a marriage, but I agreed to the second son of Qin. If I win the imperial examination this time, I will give a marriage. The mother just said that Mr. Lu is very talented, and he happens to be in the imperial examination. Depending on this imperial examination, the winner will marry the Princess."
Emperor Dongming didn't give in at all, and played Tai Chi with the Empress Dowager Lian, who was so angry that the roots of the Empress Dowager's teeth itch.
"Your majesty's proposal is very good. I heard that Mr. Lu's essays are good. He used to be well-known in the fiefdom. He has prepared for this imperial examination for many years, so he must be sure to win." Prime Minister Right suddenly interjected.
Emperor Dongming smiled slightly, and looked at Empress Dowager Lian, "What does the Empress Dowager think?"
The Queen Mother Lian took a deep breath, "Okay! If you can be nominated in the list, it would be the best to marry Qing Le again, but the Ai family has a word beforehand, if the Ai family finds out that someone is engaging in malpractice for personal gain, they will not be forgiven lightly!"
"Naturally!" Emperor Dongming readily agreed.
Even the Empress Dowager snorted, and led the people out of the hall again. Emperor Dongming smiled, "Let's continue."
It was late at night after the banquet ended, Prime Minister Right glanced at Qin Yu, "Everything that should be fought for has already been fought for you, and how you do it depends on your luck."
Qin Yu cupped his hands, with a serious expression on his face, "Qin Yu, thank you for your help."
Prime Minister Right hummed lightly, then left.
It was already late at night when Qin Yu returned to the Qin Mansion, and the news spread quickly from the main hall. The whole Qin Manor knew about it, and even thought that the Second Young Master was about to become famous.
Early the next morning, Qin Yun went to find Mrs. Qin and told what happened last night.
"What, Qin Yu is going to take the imperial examination, and the emperor promised him that he can marry the princess?"
Mrs. Qin was not calm on the spot, she sneered, "Just because he is a lowly bastard who dares to think about the princess, it's really ridiculous."
"Mother, the plan for the Wenzhou flood this time was offered by my second brother. With the help of my grandfather and the right minister, the emperor will naturally not refute it." Qin Yun said in a low voice, "I don't know why Xiaojiu fell in love with my second brother. In front of the Prime Minister on the right, recommend the second younger brother."
"Hmph, she's just a white-eyed wolf, who can't tell the inside from the outside, and Qin Yu's sweet mouth coaxes her around, sooner or later she will cry!"
Mrs. Qin has always looked down on Concubine Xiao from the beginning to the end, but she is just jealous of the right-hand man.
"Mother, if the second younger brother is really on the list to marry the princess, I'm afraid it will endanger Yun Ting's status in the Qin family."
If you choose one of the two, Qin Yun will naturally choose Qin Yunting without hesitation, but recently Qin Yunting has been a bit sluggish and doesn't know how to make progress. Qin Guogong is very disappointed with him. If this continues, he will be replaced by Qin Yu sooner or later.
Mrs. Qin pursed her lips tightly, and a look of cruelty flashed across her eyes, "Hmph! He dares to threaten Yun Ting, I will never allow this to happen."
"Ma'am, Ma'am." The servant girl hurried in, "Grandpa Cai just sent the Second Young Master to Nanshan Academy, and he has already left."
"What!" Mrs. Qin slapped the table and got angry again, "Father is so old-fashioned. Instead of helping Yun Ting, he helped a bastard instead. It's so annoying!"
Qin Yun rubbed her eyebrows. It was probably because Qin Guogong was afraid that Qin Yu's restlessness would disturb Qin Yu, so he sent him away to make peace.
"Mother, there are too many people participating in the imperial examination this year. Even though the second brother has some talents, it is simply a fantasy if he wants to win the first prize in one fell swoop."
Qin Yun pulled Mrs. Qin, "Now Yun Ting has offended grandfather, if you do something and get caught by grandfather, it will affect Yun Ting."
Mrs. Qin took a deep breath in her heart, couldn't swallow, couldn't swallow, held back and was useless, and couldn't help but said, "What if he is in high school, don't forget that there is a right minister to help him!"
"Mother, the right minister wants to help the second brother, but there is still a queen mother watching. The queen mother intends to betroth the princess to the Lu family son, and will not let the right minister do anything. The imperial examination is not as simple as we think. How many people are poor? After studying hard for ten years, I couldn't get into the imperial examination, not to mention that the second younger brother has never been exposed to the teachings of the master since he was a child, so it is too difficult to get ahead!"
Qin Yun didn't want a concubine to overwhelm Qin Yunting's limelight. Originally, Qin Yun didn't dislike Qin Yu but absolutely didn't like him. In addition, Qin Yu was in poor health, so she ignored Qin Yu.
Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Qin Yu would be able to catch up with the right minister and turn over, faintly overshadowing Qin Yunting's limelight, Qin Yun naturally did not want to see this scene.
Mrs. Qin breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, "You're right, there are countless people taking part in the imperial examination, so it's not his turn to be the champion."
Qin Yun nodded, "I hope so."
Qin Yu left the capital and went to Nanshan Academy. After Qingle learned about it, she prayed and chanted scriptures every day. She believed that he would be the number one scholar and come back soon.
More than a month has passed in a blink of an eye. This day, Zhen Qin felt sick and dizzy when she woke up in the morning, and her heart was filled with irritability.
Seeing the lotus seed porridge with milk on the table, he pinched his nose tightly, "Take it away, eat these every day, won't you replace it with fresh ones!"
Soon the servant girl removed the breakfast and changed another batch. After taking two bites, Zhen Qin put down the spoon and waved her hand, "Remove."
"Miss, why don't you eat something? It's been a few days, what should I do if I go on like this?" Bi Ling, the personal maid, kindly advised.
Zhen Qin glanced at Bi Ling, "These cooks are used to stealing and playing tricks, so they are not as serious as before, and they turned around and told their mother that they were all dismissed."
Bi Ling didn't dare to say anything after hearing the words, she could only nod her head.
It happened that a nanny came over, it was Nanny Fang in Mrs. Zhen's room. After Mrs. Zhen passed away, the burden of the palace was handed over to Mrs. Zhen. Send Mother Fang over to have a look.
Nanny Fang stared at it for a while, murmured a little, and rolled her eyes, "Miss, wait a moment, the old servant will cook some food for the lady himself."
Zhen Qin snorted twice, and Nanny Fang backed away. After half an hour, she came forward with the tray in her hand. As soon as she lifted the lid of the cup, Zhen Qin was immediately attracted to her and swallowed.
"Miss, how about trying this old slave's craftsmanship." Nanny Fang put another plate of pastries on the table.
Zhen Qin couldn't wait to grab the chopsticks, took a small sip, immediately opened his taste buds, squinted his eyes to enjoy, and ate four or five yuan in one go.
"It's still Mammy who is good at craftsmanship, and the cakes she makes are simply incomparable to others."
Zhen Qin lowered his head and tasted the milk soup again, nodded, "Not bad."
Nanny Fang couldn't laugh, and her heart sank. She had been a nanny for so many years and had rich experience, so she probably guessed why Zhen Qin had lost her appetite.
"If Miss wants to eat it, the old slave will come to cook it every day. Just now in the small kitchen, the old slave saw a young maid pickled the green plum fruit. Miss's mouth tastes bad. Why don't you taste the green plum fruit to get rid of the taste."
As she said that, Mother Fang asked the maid to take a plate of green plums. The emerald green green plums are round and plump, and they look appetizing.
But Zhen Qin has never liked sour food. She frowned and was shaking her head. Seeing Nanny Fang's expectant look, she picked up a grain and put it in her mouth. See the bottom.
"Mommy, this green plum fruit is really appetizing, where is that little maid?" Zhen Qin wanted to try it again.
Nanny Fang smiled, "That's not okay, I'll feel uncomfortable if I eat too much, and I'll ask the little maid to bring some more to Miss tomorrow."
Zhen Qin felt a little disappointed when she heard the words, so Nanny Fang found an excuse and left the yard, went directly to Mrs. Zhen Er, mentioned the matter, and Mrs. Zhen stood up with a thud.
"Are you reading that right?"
"Ma'am, this old slave has been with Madam for so many years, so I still have some experience, and I can't go wrong." Mother Fang thought for a while, and it's better to be on the safe side, "If Ma'am is not at ease, why don't you find a trusted doctor Look, counting the days, it's not impossible."
Mrs. Zhen Er nodded, quickly put down what she was doing, sent someone to invite the doctor, and went straight to Zhen Qin's place.
"Mother, my daughter is fine." Zhen Qin shook her head, "It's really unnecessary to ask a doctor to come and see, maybe it's hot, just take a rest."
"Mother, don't worry about it. My good boy, let the doctor take a look." Mrs. Zhen insisted, but Zhen Qin couldn't resist, so she stretched out her wrist and handed it to the doctor.
After a long time, the doctor nodded to Mrs. Zhen Er. Mrs. Zhen took a deep breath, her face became ugly, and she winked at Nanny Fang, "Nurse Fang, send the doctor out."
"Yes, this way please." Nanny Fang understood, and handed the purse she had prepared to the doctor. The doctor accepted it tacitly, and followed Nanny Fang to leave the Zhen residence.
"Go out and wait." Mrs. Zhen waved her hand, "No one is allowed to come in without my permission."
"yes!"
When the maids all retreated, Zhen Qin looked confused, "What's the matter?"
"Ask me what's wrong, don't be careful yourself, you're pregnant!" Mrs. Zhen's expression was solemn, "According to the time, at least one and a half months, fortunately Mother Fang found it in time, otherwise it will be a while later." It’s time to hide it.”
Zhen Qin was startled, and put one hand on her abdomen, "Mother, how could my daughter..."
"What the doctor said could be false!" Mrs. Zhen said angrily, "It's also my fault. I was confused at the time and didn't give you medicine."
Zhen Qin had never experienced this before, and suddenly panicked, "Mom, what should we do now?"
Second Madam Zhen glanced at Zhen Qin, angry and helpless, how could it be such a coincidence that she was pregnant at this time.
"I'll go to Qin's house later, so I can only advance the marriage." Mrs. Zhen Er thought it over and over again, and this was the only way.
Zhen Qin's body is not good, and she has been deficient since she was born. It is only because of her pampering all these years that she looks like a normal woman. Only Mrs. Zhen Er knows in her heart that Zhen Qin can't afford to have a baby at all, and she might be pregnant in the future. No, so we can only advance the wedding date.
"No one is allowed to tell this matter. If others find out, mother will not be able to help you, so you should restrain yourself." Mrs. Zhen Er instructed carefully.
Zhen Qin nodded again and again, "My daughter knows."
The Second Madam Zhen went to Duke Qin's Mansion in the afternoon, and Mrs. Qin raised her eyebrows, "Why is Second Madam coming to the Duke's Mansion when you have time?"
The Second Madam Zhen glanced at the maidservants around and smiled, "I'm here to discuss some matters with Da Furen."
Mrs. Qin frowned, and made all the maids and mothers-in-law retreat, and then the second Mrs. Zhen spoke, "My sister Qin has been pregnant for more than a month, and now I can only advance the marriage."
Mrs. Qin was stunned for a while, and then looked at Mrs. Zhen Er strangely, "How come it's such a coincidence that you got pregnant at once?"
The Second Madam Zhen was displeased, "Madam Qin, what does this mean?"
"Hmph, it's too much of a coincidence. The facts of that day are weird. The child Yun Ting will definitely not mess around. How could he be with Miss Zhen Er by such a coincidence..."
Mrs. Qin couldn't help but blushed when she mentioned that incident. She thought about it for a long time afterwards.
Mrs. Zhen Er was not a good person either, she said with a sullen face, "Mrs. Qin, my little girl has always been reserved and self-loving. She endured such a big loss, but in the end the Qin family didn't admit it. Good! Good!"
The Second Madam Zhen is very temperamental, "Since Mrs. Qin doesn't like Sister Qin, why should she agree to this marriage? My Sister Qin is also the first daughter of the Zhen family after all, so she is not worthy of your Mr. Qin Huh, with a mother like you who can't figure it out, Mr. Qin, it's no wonder that a bastard would step on top of him!"
Mrs. Qin's face changed drastically when she heard the words, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Hmph, isn't Mrs. Qin's actions discrediting Mr. Qin? Let me tell you, the Zhen family is not at your disposal. I heard that Mr. Qin is a sensible person. I will go to Mr. Qin to make the decision!"
Mrs. Zhen only felt that being with Mrs. Qin was really worthless. It was definitely Qin Yunting's sorrow to have such a mother who couldn't tell the difference.
"Ms. Zhen calm down, my mother didn't intend to offend." Qin Yun pushed the door open, "Sister Zhen is pregnant with Yun Ting's child, the Qin family is naturally responsible, besides, the two families have already entered into an engagement, and they will be in-laws in the future. What's the matter?" Let's discuss it carefully."
Mrs. Zhen Er glanced at Qin Yun, only to feel that Qin Yun's demeanor was generous, and her expression eased a little.
Mrs. Qin also only knew that her words were inappropriate, so she looked awkward, "Second Madam, it will take two months at the fastest to finish the marriage contract. The new wife is pregnant as soon as she enters the house, and she gave birth in less than half a year. How can outsiders look at it?" Our two families had originally decided to get married, so it is inevitable that people will be suspicious if we have the wedding in such a hurry."
Why didn't Mrs. Zhen Er think of this? When the time comes when the child is old, she will miss it when she sees someone.
"In a word, it is absolutely impossible for this child to be lost, so I can only hurry up and get married. I will ask the master to think of a way, and let Yun Ting transfer out of Kyoto for a year, and everything will be settled when he comes back."
Mrs. Zhen Er thought for a while and said, "To be honest, Sister Qin's body has been weak since she was a child, and she can't stand the pain of miscarriage, so she must hurry up and get married."
After saying that, Mrs. Qin's face was extremely gloomy and ugly. Doesn't that mean that Zhen Qin is of poor health and will have difficulty in giving birth in the future
